⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

Jess stares at him in shock, "We?" he repeats. "We gotta go watch the movie??!" "Yeah, that's what I said" Tyler replies harshly, "Do you have some kind of hearing problem?" Jess frowns, "Do you have some kind of consciousness problem?"

Tyler shifts back a bit "no clue what you' re talking about" he says with a snide smile.

Jess draws you a little closer, "Y/N and I were going to watch a movie today, just the two of us, all romantic and sappy and stuff. This wasn't supposed to be one of those double date affairs. What exactly don't you understand about that?”

"Oh, I understand just fine," Tyler blurts out, "but you don't seem to understand that my girlfriend and I were gonna do the exact same thing. That's not against the law, is it? Are you trying to tell me what I can and can’t do or what? You would never have been at the movies just the two of you anyway, unless you rented out the whole place for yourselves, have you? No? Did you, Jesse?”

"It' s Jess," Jess says between clenched teeth.

"Whatever," Tyler comments, "Either way, I'm right and everyone knows it."

"Oh yeah?" Jess counters again, his gaze unwavering "And what about Miss Girlfriend over here? Why doesn't she say anything anymore? and wasn't the only thing she said that she didn't even want to go to the movies?"

you snap out of your trance "Jess," you say in a slightly admonishing tone and look at your boyfriend reprovingly. Immediately his expression softens and he lowers his head the moment you address him, "Leave Chelsea out of this. She hasn't done anything wrong."

"What?" Tyler shoots out, "But I didn't do anything wrong either, Y/N" Tyler looks at you intensely and you can' t think of anything to say, as startled as Tyler seems to be. His gaze makes you feel uneasy. What on earth does he want from you anyway? You lean against Jess' side and his arm tightens around you. "Hey, don't look at her like that," Jess demands as he gives him a scowl again.

Tyler groans and turns to Jess "Oh great, you really are trying to tell me what I can and can't do, I see".

"Only if you act like a real ass, Tyler. After all, someone has to stop that if apparently you are unable to do so yourself..."

You can see that Tyler is on the verge of losing his temper. But he seems to catch himself and squints his eyes instead "Well, I'd rather be an ass than the goddamn wisenheimer you are."

"You would?" Jess seems a bit amused, not believing a word of what your former boyfriend is saying. The hint of a triumphant smile plays on his lips. Then Chelsea suddenly speaks up again

"So... are we gonna go to the movie theater or not? I guess I didn't really understand the whole thing...”

"No, you got it all right. We should really get going," Tyler throws a provocative look at Jess, "to the movie theater”

You feel Jess tense up again. So, you quickly interject "Alright, we're running a little late anyway"

"By now" Jess adds, looking down snidely. "Come on now, let's go" you mutter, pulling Jess along with you "We were perfectly on time till we got held up, you know that don't you?" Jess whispers in your ear as you walk down the street. Tyler and Chelsea follow close behind, embracing.

"Yeah...I know. But don't harp on it" you whisper back. Jess sighs "Well, if it makes you feel better… "

You smile to yourself "It does. Thanks, Jess "

You tilt your head and kiss him on the cheek. Jess can barely hide his grin and glances at you out of the corner of his eye as he smirks. Everything could have been so great, but...

"Wow, I'm so excited to see this movie!" Tyler announces, walking a little faster and appearing right by your side, "I've heard so many cool things about it. They say it's crazy awesome, right? And... uh, so touching and emotional".

Jess can't hold on to himself and lets out a short, contemptuous laugh.

"Oh, who would have thought! You got a problem again? Ya don't like the fact that Y/N and I have the same taste in movies?" Tyler raises his eyebrow.

"Oh, no, it’s not like that at all," Jess says in a gushing, sarcastic tone, "I just think it's kind of funny that you'd describe a movie about a future where people aren't allowed to feel emotions as particularly emotional. And by the way: I chose the movie".

Tyler gives you a puzzled look "you guys watch a movie like that on a date?"

you smile apologetically "Well, a movie where no one shows their feelings, that's just the right thing for Jess."

"That's not true" Jess mumbles a little hurt "I'm not like that anymore" He pulls you towards him and gives you a quick kiss on the lips.

You feel the butterflies in your stomach going crazy, but you try to stay collected. "I guess you're right" you agree before you then bust out laughing "But you can't deny you really wanted to go see the movie with me"

"Yeah maybe, but the important part is I wouldn’t wanna go see it with anyone else" he replies gooey as he can't take his eyes off you.

"A movie about numb and emotionless pseudo human mutants, very sweet of you Jess," you reply jokingly, still grinning.

"Well, that’s just the way I am," he agrees with sarcastic pride and a smile that makes your heart beat faster.

"Real sweet" Tyler mimics you and shakes his head "I for one would have picked an actually sweet movie"

"oh yeah?" Jess' expression darkens "And what movie are you headed to right now? Same one we are, aren't you? And who are you taking there? Your girlfriend, right. Kind of like I am taking mine. So, do me a favor and shut the hell up."

"not gonna argue with you again" Tyler claims

"not gonna argue with you either" Jess shrugs "man.... I'm just telling it like it is. Sorry if you can’t take that"

“The truth I can take! But I won’t take your bullshit, Jesse!”

You roll your eyes. Tyler being right beside you grows more and more annoying as he obviously doesn’t know what he’s talking about and can’t respect a thing of what anyone is saying. You still don't understand what exactly he intends to achieve with all this. Then, all of a sudden, you finally see the lights of the movie theater in the distance.

"Oh, there’s the movie theater already," you call out to change the subject. Immediately you double your steps and pull Jess along with you.

At the box office, you ask for two tickets to Equilibrium. You thought you were going to pay for your ticket yourself, but then Jess takes out his wallet in a hurry.

"Jess, you don't have to do that" you mumble, but Jess gives you a determined look

"Well, I want to, Y/N. After all, what else did I work my way up to employee of the month at Walmart for??"

You can't help but laugh brightly and lean your head against Jess' side. He tugs you closer and gives you a heartfelt kiss before he has to pull away from you again in order to hand the money to the girl at the register. After the two of you, it's Tyler and Chelsea's turn at the box office.

"Two tickets to the same movie," Tyler says, rummaging in the pockets of his jacket. The girl at the cash register frowns, "which movie?"

Tyler looks at her with wide eyes "Well, …the same movie that the two who were just here bought tickets to.”

Jess leans over and whispers in your ear "we might have some luck coming our way after all" You giggle and Jess looks at you, he seems entirely enamored.

At the box office, the girl is still looking at Tyler in confusion "which movie?" she repeats. Tyler stammers something until Chelsea appears to blow her stack. "That damn Equi something movie I never heard of before!"

"Equilibrium?" asks the girl at the box office.

Tyler's face brightens, "Yeah, that's the one!"

"Damn it," Jess curses under his breath right next to you, “I got no luck whatsoever. Who would have guessed…”

"Hey, but you've got me," you remark, tilting your head.

Jess sighs, "Who knows for how long..." he mumbles and looks to the ground. "What did you say?" you ask, caught off guard. You aren't too sure if you heard Jess correctly. And in case you did... he can't be serious, can he?

"Oh, nothing," Jess replies, kissing you softly before putting his arm around you again and taking you towards the auditorium. You glance up at him with concern, "Are you all right, Jess?"

He avoids your gaze: "Yeah, everything's fine" But you don't believe him.

You suspect he's worried about Tyler, even though you know that's complete nonsense. You couldn't care less about Tyler, you know you never loved him anyway. You had only been with him out of convenience and had broken up with him as soon as you realized it. Tyler hadn't seemed hurt at the time, in fact, it used to feel like he could barely remember your name. But now that someone else was taking you out, he deluded himself into thinking he had the right to be jealous. You were actually pretty good at tuning Tyler out, but Jess didn't seem to be as good at it.

Jess and you find your seats and then sit down next to each other. You notice that Jess has become rather quiet, probably out of worry and insecurity, so you put your head on his shoulder to ease his mind a bit.

And indeed, it takes mere seconds and you hear him breathe a sigh of relief, "Y/N," Jess begins, turning his head to you, "I know I was foolish enough to choose a movie about people who don't feel anything and so on.... but I do have feelings, feelings for you, you know?"

"I know," you whisper, lifting your head to look at Jess' face. Hesitantly, Jess leans in and begins to kiss you. You close your eyes and return the kiss, more and more, for longer and longer. Jess deepens his kiss feeling like he never wants to have to be without you, there's something longing about it. You start to lose yourself in your emotions, only thinking about how much you love Jess beyond measure. And then-

"Hey, Y/N," Tyler's voice comes from behind you. It sounds like a shrill alarm bell to you. Hastily albeit reluctantly, you end the kiss and face your ex-boyfriend, increasingly annoyed.

"I brought you some of your favorite popcorn. I know just how much you love it" Tyler shoves a large bucket of popcorn into your arms. You look up at him in surprise.

"Well," Tyler flashes a satisfied grin before adding in a provocative tone, "it’s really no problem, ya know? I'm sure if your current boyfriend knew you as well as I do, he would have done the same."

Suddenly Jess jumps up from his seat, visibly upset. "All right, that's it!" he shoots out. Jess scowls at Tyler, but Tyler glares back sternly, "Huh? What's the matter, pal?"

You try to reach for Jess' hand to pull him back down to you, but his hands are clenched into fists and he firmly shakes off your touch. He’s infuriated.

"Let's settle this outside the door," Jess then announces, gesturing toward the exit with a barely perceptible nod, never taking his eyes off Tyler.

"Yes, please do it already!" some male voice shouts a few rows behind you, "The movie's about to start and I paid way too much for the tickets!" God, the entire situation is more than embarrassing to you, but neither Tyler nor Jess seem to notice how ridiculous they are acting.

"Gladly" Tyler eventually says addressing Jess, his death stare still lingering "I know how to handle those kinds of things like a real man".

"That would be news to me!" Jess claims and tenses his shoulder muscles. He's about to take a step forward but you quickly and out of reflex jump up out of your seat, "Stop it! Now! Your behavior does not resemble that of two ‘real men’, but rather that of two real toddlers!"

"Oh, you shut up, Y/N! You've never understood a thing about stuff like this," Tyler throws at you.

You look at him aghast: "Excuse me?!"

"Hey, leave my girlfriend out of this!" Jess sternly demands.

"But she’s what this is all about, isn't she? Am I right? And by the way; that used to be my girlfriend!" Tyler states through clenched teeth

"Yeah, I guess she was," Jess replies, angrier than ever. "But the emphasis is on used to be. This also used to be a nice evening! And this used to be a free country too, where you could invite your girlfriend to the movies on a Friday night without being terrorized and stalked by her fucking insignificant ex-boyfriend!"

You suck in your breath and tense up. Tyler tilts his head. But then he solely chuckles and teases,

"Do I scare you, Jesse?"

“Jess, don’t” you manage to bring out, but before you know it, Jess shoots out and lunges at Tyler. Then all the lights in the auditorium go out and the film begins to flicker across the screen.

"What the-" you utter as your eyes adjust to the darkness while you hear Jess and Tyler's suppressed curses coming from the floor.

You listen as Jess - or maybe Tyler - throws a punch and the other one of the boys groans with pain.

"Guys, stop it," you scream out hysterically. You don’t want Jess to get hurt, he’s been through enough. God, if only he would have contained himself for just a little longer, everything would have been fine and you could have averted your attention away from Tyler’s mean remarks to instead focus on the movie on screen.

"Guys, please," you beg, but all you can make out are their wrestling outlines on the ground, "Jess, please listen to me," but he doesn't respond to you.

"I thought you were going to settle this outside the door!" the man's voice a few rows behind you chimes in again, " Seemed like a smart idea to me! So why don't you put it into practice, huh!?"

Then other voices in the theater start to barge in "Hey, what's going on over there?" shouts one. "Are those two idiots fighting?" another. And "don't those jerks realize the movie's already started?" Yeah, that' s what you're wondering, too, you think to yourself.

"You scumbag, if you look at Y/N one more time..." Jess threatens, still on the ground.

"... then she for sure will run into my arms, yeah I know that!" retorts Tyler short of breath, lashing out at Jess, "And you know it, too! And that’s what drives you crazy!"

More punches and fists are thrown.

"Jess, don't listen to him," you yell into the fray. You feel completely powerless and utterly miserable, what could you possibly do to stop all this? The entire evening has been ruined long ago anyway, but the fight between Jess and Tyler makes things even worse.

A sudden ray of light illuminates the dark movie theater, as the door to the auditorium is promptly pushed open. A muscle-bound man followed by a woman, who must have left the auditorium earlier to bring the aforementioned man, appear in the doorway, their silhouettes standing out starkly against the glistening background.

"All right boys, break it up!" shouts the man in black uniform " security service here! I want both of you to stand up! Did you hear me?!"

And indeed- Tyler and Jess stop punching each other and get up off the ground. In the dim light of the movie screen, you recognize Jess’ hunched over body, his face filled with shame.

"Both of you out of here, now!" the security guard demands, as he points to the door. Staring down at their feet, Tyler and Jess leave the theater. You can't help feeling saddened by the sight of your boyfriend walking away. He doesn't even turn around to meet your gaze.

Then the security guard’s eyes and attention land on Chelsea and you, "That also goes for the two of you! I suppose it's your fault, anyway..."

"I didn't do anything," Chelsea quickly interjects, looking innocently up at the man in uniform standing right in front of you.

Indignantly you take a sharp breath, "I actually didn't do anything either!”

"I couldn't care less about who didn't do anything ever or today or not or maybe or who will never do it again. I’ve heard it all before!" the broad-built man declares, gesturing once again at the still-open door, "Now both of you get out!"

"Alright, alright..." mumbles Chelsea, walking past the guard.

You step as carefully as you can over the large amount of spilled popcorn to your feet and follow her meekly, not daring to lift your gaze and look the angered guard in the eye.

Once you too have left your row of seats, the security guard joins you and closes the door to the movie theater behind you. Inside the hall, you begin to look around for Jess, but you can't find him anywhere.

The security guard catches your glimpse. "My co-worker took the boys outside the building." You nod nervously and bite your lower lip. After all, you do feel a little guilty.

The guard clears his throat, "And just so we're clear, not only the boys, but also you two have been banned from the movie theater for the time being."

"What?!" Chelsea and you simultaneously shout out in bewilderment. You can hardly believe it. Yes, maybe you said you felt a little guilty, not that guilty.

"But we weren’t the ones to get into a fight" Chelsea clarifies, tossing her hair over her shoulder.

"Right, we would never engage in such violent activity," you agree, but the security guard remains merciless.

"I've had it with you kids," he says in a stern voice, "just leave the theater right now," the security guy then sighs, "arguing with me won't change the head of the theater's decision anyway."

you tilt your head pensively. yeah, he's probably right, you figure. Besides, bickering around in here while wasting your time won't get you any closer to Jess.

You look over at Chelsea and she returns your expression. She nods at you, and you turn back to the broad-shouldered man. "All right, we understand. Have a good evening, sir”.

"We won't cause you any more trouble," Chelsea adds, and the two of you force a polite smile.

The security guard doesn't bat an eye. Instead, he blurts out, "I sure hope so!"

"Jeez, let's go," you whisper into Chelsea's ear, and the two of you turn on your heels and run for the exit.

Just before you leave the entrance hall, you once again look over at Chelsea. "Hey, Chelsea..." you begin hesitantly, "I'm really sorry about how the evening went. Especially for you. I mean, Tyler couldn't have been more of a bad boyfriend to you..."

Chelsea sighs heavily "Well, I guess I should have known. He had only asked me out yesterday, you know? and I was dumb enough to say yes," she smiles slightly, but it appears to be one of sadness, "I've had a crush on Tyler for a while, I guess he knew that. He must have also known you guys were going out tonight. I'm sure he heard you talking about it yesterday at school"

"Yeah, that figures" you agree looking down a little embarrassed.

"Well, there's nothing to be done about it," Chelsea says, sounding less than optimistic, "I should have walked right off when Tyler was running around the streets like a maniac. When he was dragging me along and not wanting to tell me what he was looking for. Or who. Cause he, of course, was looking for you guys. And yeah, unfortunately he ended up finding you"

"Oh Chelsea, I'm so sorry" is all you can think of to say, but at least it's the truth.

"Don't be. Be happy that you have such a great boyfriend" she says and you feel yourself blushing "Yeah, I guess I am a very lucky girl..."

Chelsea sighs once again, "I think he's really in love with you. I can tell by the look in his eyes. He looks at you all gentle and soft, which is really not like him at all. But apparently, he allows himself to be that way when he's with you"

Suddenly you feel your throat tightening, and you are unable to utter a single word. You desperately want to see Jess, you really need to talk to him.

"All right," Chelsea smiles mildly and raises her hand as a goodbye gesture as soon as you've reached the exit. "I guess this is where we part ways"

"Yeah, take care" you mutter and give her a genuine smile "See you at school on Monday" you call after her before she turns and walks away, disappearing into the darkness of the evening.

You hastily avert your gaze and look around for Jess. "Jess?" you call out into obscurity. A shadow stirs on the outside wall of the movie theater. "Jess?" you repeat.

And there he is.

Out of the darkness and into the light of the movie billboards steps your boyfriend, Jess. He looks bleakly into your face, "Y/N, I'm sorry about what happened today and that I-" you rush into his arms and kiss him passionately on the lips.

As you end the kiss, you look into Jess' eyes, showing off your widest grin. Jess however seems to remain unsettled and furrows his brow, as he looks down at you lying in his arms, "So you're not mad at me?"

you can’t help but laugh “Well, yes I am a little mad” Jess tenses up and you can feel his heart skip a beat. “Oh, Jess, calm down” you rush to tell him, smiling in assurance, “I’m mad at Tyler, Jess. I’m not mad at you”

Jess can’t believe his ears and hugs you to him “God, I’m so relieved! I thought you were thinking about breaking up with me or something…” Jess mumbles into your hair while he has you pulled close. Gently you break away from his embrace. “You didn’t let me finish”, you add.

Jess’ smile dies down in a heartbeat. Quickly you put your hand to his cheek reassuringly “Oh God, Jess, you really don’t need to worry, I’m not gonna leave you, I never could”

“Well, I guess then you’ll have to deal with me for the rest of your life, cause I’m not letting go of you either, Y/N” Jess blurts out and looks at you, almost as in a trance.

With an impish grin, you tilt your head "The whole thing sure has scared you quite a bit, hm? You don't usually say things like that to me”

Jess swallows hard "Maybe I need to tell you more often. So that you don't run away from me. Or so you don't think I don't want you and would give you away to someone like Tyler" His gaze hardens, "Because I would never … I could never do that, you know?"

You sigh and see the flicker in his dark eyes "What makes you think I would want to be with Tyler anyway?"

Jess turns his eyes to the ground "Well, you used to be with him," he grits his teeth and clenches his jaw, "Even though it's pretty tough for me to admit that, I gotta say."

"Jess, I only dated him for such a short amount of time," you try to catch his gaze, "I don't even remember what made me do it. And besides... I always knew I never loved him"

Jess immediately lifts his head and looks into your eyes "Does that mean you..?" he begins but then breaks off and bites his lip instead. "Yeah, Jess," you get out, "I've been thinking about it all evening. On the way to the movies. At the movies..."

"Even during that fight?" Jess inquires cautiously.

You can't help smiling, "Nah, probably not then" You chuckle briefly, before your voice turns serious again. "But aside from that, always. I always thought about it. And I don't just think about it, I actually know that I…" you take a deep breath, "I love you, Jess."

Jess blinks twice before your words reach his ears, his head, his heart. He pulls you to him as hard as he can, wraps his arms around your waist and kisses you with all the love he otherwise tries to hide from you. He thinks it would make him seem weak, but he knows your love makes him feel incredibly strong. He kisses you as if he had never done it before but waited a lifetime for the chance.

You carefully break away from him and look him in the eyes, happily yet a little shyly. "So you believe me?" you ask in a low voice.

"I want to so much" Jess is almost whispering and nods.

"And don't you want to tell me something too?" you ask, a wry smile on your face.

Finally, Jess's expression begins to loosen a bit. "Not necessarily, no. I think you already know that I..." Jess pauses for a moment and briskly looks down, before turning his eyes back to yours, "that I love you a lot, Y/N. Maybe even too much"

You laugh and have a big smile on your face "Jess, I can't believe you're saying this to me! I'm so incredibly happy" You lean against him and rest your head on his chest.

He smirks a little confused. "Don't you think it’s a little embarrassing? Am I not kind of … well, embarrassing myself?"

You frown "What would you need to be embarrassed about?"

"Hm" Jess takes a deep breath and exhales "I mean the whole love declaration thing. Don't I sort of embarrass myself with that? I kinda feel like I do, you know"

You raise your head and look at him with serious eyes "Jess, how does it feel to hear that I love you?"

He leans in and kisses you on the cheek "I wanna hear it again and again. And I wish I could tell everyone"

"See?" You smile at him "I feel the same way. The last thing I'm thinking about is you embarrassing yourself" You start to grin "And besides, shouldn't you be more concerned about having embarrassed yourself in your fight with Tyler. Because that I did find embarrassing"

"Come on, now don't remind of that," Jess rolls his eyes and pulls away from you. He then raises his eyebrows provocatively and smirks, "Although I technically won the fight"

"Oh yeah?" you look up at him amused.

"Absolutely" he pulls you back towards him, "After all, I'm the one who' s with you"

You wrap your arms around his neck and lean in for another kiss. Time stands still once again, and you feel Jess' touch make you forget everything. the movie theater behind you, the events of the evening, everything, except that you love Jess and he loves you.

You move away from him a little, "let's go home," you say softly

Jess nods "All right. We can go see the movie some other time anyway.”

You begin to laugh inevitably, "But not in this theater."

Jess looks at you a bit questioningly. Wide-eyed, you look back at him "Jess, we're banned from this place for the time being. You "won" that too with your stupid fight."

"Oh, that's right," Jess scratches the back of his head sheepishly, "I guess I kind of forgot about that."

"well, it’s fine" you lean against his side, "I wasn't that keen on the movie anyway"

"you're not keen on watching a movie about callous human mutants who kill each other with no remorse whatsoever with your boyfriend on your Friday night date?" Jess voice drips with irony and you chuckle softly "well, when you put it that way..."

You both laugh slightly before Jess puts his arm around you and eventually says "I think it's really time to go now. Loitering outside a movie theater we are banned from is probably not the best idea."

Slowly, the two of you begin to walk off in the direction of Luke's Diner, pondering your thoughts. The evening may not have gone as planned, but at least this way you got to hear Jess say those three words. Who would have thought that an evening full of arguments, ex-boyfriends, bickering, accusations and movie theater bans would somehow still come to such a happy ending?

_____the end______

Hank, Sanford and Deimos with a Reader who does Handcrafts

Gonna post my old MadCom stuff since people seem interested in it! I didn't write too much back then, but I'll post it anyway and hope for some MadCom requests as well! What the title says! Reader knits, crochets and embroiders in this! The format is different from how I usually write, but that's because I wrote this months ago, if not in 2022! I don't remember when, but it's been a while since I wrote this!

Hank

If you get his attention while doing one of your crafts, expect him to just stare at you for a while. He knows what knitting is, since you can use those needles to stab someone with enough force, but he never really cared much for any of it. So, seeing you do those small, but precise movements has him somewhat curious. If you beckon him closer to check out what you’re doing, he will approach you, taking your piece from your hands and gently examining it, before returning it to you.

While he won’t join you that often due to his occupation, Hank will lie down next to you from time to time, watching you work until he falls asleep eventually. Doing so next to you, especially when you’re knitting or doing embroidery, takes a lot of trust on his behalf, so it’s a rather rare occurrence, but it might happen. Still, sometimes even Nevada’s most wanted can’t resist getting some sleep in.

If you give him a scarf or anything of the likes it might seem like he doesn’t like it at first. As he only grunts in acknowledgement and doesn’t wear it, it might seem disheartening at first glance. But rest assured, he’s well aware that him wearing it would only get it covered in blood, and he wouldn’t want your creation, that you put so much love into, to get sullied like that. Hank does keep it somewhere hidden where only he can find it so that it won’t get stolen as well, he truly does treasure anything you give him.

Sanford

He has helped his mother crocheting every once in a while when he was young by holding her wool for her. Sanford always thought it to be really cool how you can make something so beautiful out of something as simple as wool and yarn. Much like he did when he was younger, he’ll hold your yarn for you, making it more comfortable to knit or crochet for you. Unlike Hank and Deimos, he will try to learn it as well. It seems relaxing, so why not? But by no means is he a master. Due to his strength, he will likely rip the yarn and wool apart from time to time and come to you for help.

In order to relax and unwind a bit, he’ll likely come to you and ask if you would like to practise your craft for and with him. Having you around in and of itself already makes Sanford happy, but just getting to spend time with you without having to worry about being killed by the enemy makes it all the better. If you let him, he will hold you close, lean into you, put you on his lap, anything you’re comfortable with.

Please give him a sweater. Because he’s never wearing a shirt he gets cold fairly easily. He’ll cherish it dearly and wear it whenever he can, and whenever he knows it won’t get ripped. Another thing he’d be very happy with would be a piece of embroidery. It reminds him of better times and gives him hope, especially when your piece of art is something pleasant and sweet to look at. Because of that, he will put it up somewhere in his room where he can always see it. Even if Deimos makes fun of him for it, he will simply lightly jab at the smoker, all the while smiling at it.

Deimos

He’ll lovingly call you a grandma for having hobbies like these. Even while doing embroidery, where you stab things thousands of times, he will snicker at you whenever he catches you doing any of these things. Though, he doesn’t mind that sort of thing at all since that means you’ll be sitting still for a while, meaning you’ll give him a chance to unwind with him. Deimos will wrap his arms around you, leaning onto you or just cuddle into you in general. No fighting, no getting hurt, just watching you do the same movements over and over again.

Despite possibly calling you boring, he does have great respect for your craft, since he can’t do any of it. It’s too tedious and he can’t sit around for long enough doing something like this. It’s simply not exciting enough. But the moment you give him his first sweater, he will think it’s the most awesome thing to ever exist. Proud as a peacock, he will flaunt and taunt his new piece of clothing, especially to Sanford and Hank, declaring just what a great lover he has.

Present him with a plushie and his mind will be blown. He always thought knitting and crocheting are just for woolly hats and sweaters and scarves and all. If he sees you made him a tiny grunt, he will simply lose it, run around the Status Quo base and show everyone what you’re capable of. It doesn’t even matter to him whether or not it looks good. Your hands are magical to him and absolutely everyone has to know just how cool and epic you are.

Is there a single European monarch Alexander was NOT rumored to have slept with??

the ambassador in question is Caulaincourt btw. Oh but that’s not all.

the author then goes to assure that these relationships remained strictly platonic (which I’m inclined to agree with). But it is insane that Josephine died mere days after his last visit

#I hate that the ridley scott movie chose to focus on these specific rumors about Josephine when the context is so. rich.#like imagine your ex wife and your ex nemesis-turned-ally-situationship meet up after you got exciled to bad boy island to talk shit about u #tsar alexander i #josephine bonaparte #queen louise of prussia #napoleon bonaparte #empress josephine #Alexander I: the tsar who defeated Napoleon < source

LINK: If the world was perfect(you would have never invaded my space)

summary: Damian is absolutely done with Jon's shit. Jon...didn't get the memo.

But hey, what says friendship and love more than a punch in the face?

Damian didn’t ask for this, and was currently unsure of why he’d gotten such a punishment. Did he anger some deity? It definitely wasn’t karma, surely he would have remembered doing something so horrible that would warrant being in the attention of Jon Kent.

He was everywhere . And intent on bothering him.

Damian prided himself on his clean record, the A’s that were always neatly lined up in his transcripts, nothing out of the ordinary. He hadn’t had a major offense…well, not anything that he hadn’t slipped his way out of.

That might change soon, however, because it seemed Jon Kent was just itching to get a punch in the face, and Damian would be sure he was the one who delivered it.

Two weeks into tutoring the bane of existence and being constantly probed for his attention was becoming tiresome. Jon demanded his attention and it was exhausting to outsmart this dimwitted oaf on top of his studies on the daily.

Going into the lunchroom, his friends were subjected to yet another lengthy rant about how the teen, this one including some rather colorful insults in Arabic. They took their food out to the courtyard, Damian not stopping once for a breath.

A shadow loomed over the three of them, Maya poking Damian in the shoulder to shut him up, and Colin standing slowly from his spot next to him.

“Wayne.”

Damian squeezed his eyes shut, cursing everything he could possibly think of, before opening them and looking up from where he was sitting.

“Kent.” He gritted out.

“You sound so happy to see me, Angel.” Jon cooed.

“Is there any distinct reason you’ve come to disrupt our lunch, or was it simply to make my day as horrid as you possibly can?”

“Sorry, Teach, just thought you would have wanted a hello from your favorite student.”

Damian could feel his eye twitching and his friends moving away from the scene. Maya nudged Colin to go find a referee for whatever was about to go down and stood, pulling up Damian with her.

“Kent, do you not have anything better to do with your life? Your studies, perhaps? Other idiots, such as yourself?” The shorter boy huffed, crossing his arms and glaring up at Jon.

Said boy was bent slightly at the waist, hands on his hips so he could be level with the angry green eyes.

“They’re not as nearly as fun to play with then you are, Wayne.”

His face flushed in red-hot anger, teeth gritting in obvious frustration. “You have no shame , do you? I don’t pretend to understand what about this is appealing to you, but mark my words, there’s going to be a time where that smartass mouth is going to say something to the wrong person at the worst time and make you regret it.”

A dangerous smirk appeared on Jon’s lips, a tell tale sign of something that would provoke the shorter boy to all hell. Before he could say anything, Damian chuckled lowly, leaning forward till their noses were nearly touching.

“I hope that person is me and that day is soon.“

Jon scoffed. “What’re you gonna do about it, pretty boy? Hit me?”

The resounding sound of a punch to his face echoed in the courtyard, Maya rushing to hold Damian back as Jon held his nose, cursing up a storm.

Damian grinned at him, sticking out a leg from where he was scrabbling in Maya’s hold and sweeping him off his feet.

“Damian!” Maya scolded, as if she were chastening her little brother instead of a friend who’d just punched the school delinquent.

Colin came running, Skylar, another friend, behind him. A teacher was eyeing the scene now, unmoving. The red haired boy snorted at the scene, clapping Damian on the shoulder.

They all tensed as Jon stood, lunging for Damian again, who wrenched out of Maya’s grasp and sent another hit to his face. The whistle from the teacher who was watching them sounded out, not stopping the now brawling boys, other kids during lunch circling around them.

“Break it up!” the teacher hollered, muscling their way through the crowd. Skylar and Maya yanked Damian off Jon, Colin making a path for them.

“Wayne, Kent, the office, now .” Jon wobbled, bruised and bloody, with not even his pride left standing.

The other boy, however, had a grim but smug look to his face, a few scratches, and bleeding cuts along his knuckles. He could hear Damian’s friends clambering over him, and what they said intrigued him.

”Dames, dude, that was badass!” the boy cheered.

”Thank you, Wikes.” Damian sounded pleased, but was quickly smacked on the back of the head by the girl with an iron grip around his arm.

”Colin, don’t encourage him. Damian, you’re a fucking dumbass, what the hell were you thinking?”

”You promised you were done with fights, you’ll be in so much trouble!” Another girl with short mousy hair and a braid through her hair followed behind the boy, Colin apperantly. ”I can’t hold up student council or Art Club by myself if you get grounded!”

”I’ll be fine. I’m not stupid, mind you, I did think about this beforehand.”

”For like five seconds, maybe.” the girl holding onto him muttered, stopping as they were at the office's door. Jon lingered behind, pretending to at least look like he wasn’t eavesdropping.

The girl with the braid patted Damian’s shoulder and whispered, ”Good luck!” , following after as Colin and the other girl pushed past the taller boy, giving him dirty looks on their way. Jon shot similar looks back, rolling his eyes and going through the office door.

Kon was waiting with an annoyed look that quickly turned concerned and mildly amused. There was another man there, somehow familiar in a way Jon knew he should have remembered. He had black hair and blue eyes, and a disappointed face that nearly made him feel bad for Damian.

The principal was there, sitting at his desk with a tired expression on his face. He saw both boys and pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Mr. Grayson-Wayne, Mr. Kent, thank you for coming in your parents absence. Jonathan, Damian, sit.”

They did so, Damian being prodded by who Jon assumed was his older brother. The smaller boy scowled and swatted back, sitting.

“Now, I've had various witness recounts. The teacher who saw it says that Jonathan lunged first, but was already injured. Now, the second time could have just been self defense, and was provoked, clearly. This is a first for you, Damian, and I would have expected this from Jonathan, not from you.”

“With all due respect sir,” he said suddenly. “I was provoked, and I am not kidding when I say that Ke- Jonathan asked for it.”

“How so?”

“I’ve been bothered by him for weeks now, and when I offered some very wise life advice and asked him to please let my friends and I eat in peace, he asked me, and I quote, ‘What are you going to do about it? Hit me?’ So I did.”

Kon snorted, Jon turning to give his brother a very dirty look. He covered his mouth, trying to muffle the noise and failing miserably.

The principal looked fairly amused himself, Damian’s smug look going from grim to mildly pleased.

His brother slapped him upside the head lightly, and Jon quietly applauded him for knocking the look off the shorter boy.

“Well, this is your first offense, and since Jonathan seems to have suffered the brunt of it, I suspect that a dire punishment is mostly unneeded. Two weeks of weekend detention, and your study sessions are to be upheld. Your brothers are to take the both of you home.”

The principal sighed as they left, muttering under his breath. ”Waynes and Kents, Wayne and West, Wayne and Harper. Why do they all insist on coming to my school?”

“So, a Wayne kicked your ass.” Kon grinned at him. “How’d that feel?”

It was kind of hot . Jon choked on his spit as the thought barreled forcefully into the front of his head. “What the fuck ?”

“Knew it.” Kon snickered, dodging the hit sent his way.

“I would have thought you’d had enough punches today.” Damian called out as they went past, ducking away from his older brother’s hand.

“Damian!” He scolded, sounding like Maya had a few hours ago. “Apologize.”

The boy scowled and crossed his arms, spitting out an “I apologize” as if it cost him physical pain.

“Sorry, Kon.” the older man holding onto Damian sighed. “I should have known it would have come to something like this.”

“The little shit asked for it.” Jon’s brother ruffled his hair, much to his annoyance. “I’ll see you this weekend, I think? Tell Wally I say hello.”

“Will do! See you, Kon.” Both men dragged their little brothers out of the office, going separate ways.

Damian avoided his brother’s gaze in the mirror, choosing to hide in the back and look out the window.

“I really thought we’d gotten over this, sweetheart.”

He hated that voice. It was a disappointed dad voice perfected over the years of rowdy siblings, leaving him as the youngest with the flawless model. It made him feel like he’d gone out to kick puppies for fun. And what was worse, was how soft and sad it sounded, like he was comforting him but wrecked at the same time.

“I know,” he whispered.

The drive home was silent, and with his siblings at work or in class, so was their large house. It wasn’t quite a mansion yet, but with their ever-growing family and account balance, it would be soon.

He trudged after his brother as he was led to the restroom, wincing as antiseptic was dabbed on the cuts.

“You promised all of us. You promised me that it was going to be the last time. What really happened, baby bat?”

Damian shielded his eyes from the look on his face, knowing that if he saw it he would cave.

“He was just annoying. There’s something about him, it’s aggravating. He deserved the punch in the face.”

Dick sighed, wrapping the bandages around his hand. “You’re not going back to this are you? You can’t afford this, Damian, you know that this is your last chance. I don’t think this will go on your record, and you got damn lucky for that.”

The younger swallowed the lump in his throat. This was not a crying matter, but the immense shame and worry with all the bubbling emotions caused his throat to close up. He rarely cried, most of the times he had were as a child. The last time he’d cried was the last time he was in a fight, the life he’d left behind.

He had worked too hard to be where he was now, and that was something he wouldn’t waste.

As loath as he was to admit it, he needed to start getting along with Jonathan Kent, and what was a better place to start then detention?

the ex-boyfriend

Jess Mariano x reader

pt.1 (yes, I seriously turned this into a two-part story)

request: please do one where the reader and jess are dating but the reader runs into their ex boyfriend and jess gets jealous!!!

alright, I’m gonna try my best ;)

⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

On a late Friday afternoon, you're on your way to Luke's Diner.

You and your boyfriend Jess want to go to the movies tonight, after not seeing each other much all week, since Jess took on extra shifts at Luke's and Walmart.

You and Jess have only been a couple for about a month, but you already miss him every second you're apart.

You begin to walk more briskly to get to Luke's Diner faster, where you're supposed to meet Jess. The diner is only half lit and before you get to the other side of the street, the door opens and Jess comes rushing out.

As he leaves the diner, he puts on his jacket and runs towards you. You notice a distinct grin on his face and start running, too. Before you are fully able to stop, he picks you up in his arms and spins you around in the air.

"Jess," you say in surprise, as he sets you back down on the ground, leans forward and gives you a deep kiss. He takes your face in both his hands and you feel your knees go weak, inevitably.

Jess ends the kiss and you stare at him, stunned: "What was that for?” Jess grins mischievously and continues to look you in the eyes: "I just felt like it".

Then he puts his arm around you to pull you closer to him and you begin to saunter off in the direction of the movie theater.

You look up to him "Well, you could feel like doing that more often"

Jess returns your gaze and hastily kisses your cheek "I always feel like doing that, always"

You feel yourself blushing slightly and lean more against his side "I didn't know that"

"Like you could" Jess says in a sarcastic tone of voice and rolls his eyes "I've just been after you for almost an entire year now". You giggle softly, unaware that Jess' heart is leaping at the sweet sound of your laughter.

He turns his head to you once more and kisses your cheek again. "Jess, I can barely walk straight with you doing that all the time. I'm about to fall over," you say with a grin.

"Not a problem at all, I’m right here to catch you like the knight in shining armor I am" Jess chuckles and tilts his head to the side to give you another kiss, now more than ever.

You fear your heart might burst from sheer bliss. You have never been as happy as you are with Jess, and you have never felt for any boy the way you feel for him. You know it's love. You love Jess. You've never loved a guy before, but the emotions Jess evokes in you are unlike anything else.

True love. It threw you off a little at first, but now you couldn't be any gladder to be with him.

The two of you, still nestled together, turn around a corner, only to nearly collide with another couple. Wincing, you take your head off Jess' shoulder and can hardly believe your eyes as you realize who's standing right in front of you.

It's Tyler Thompson (lol not me making up another guy every week)

Your former boyfriend.

"No way, Y/N, great to see ya," Tyler says, surprised but smiling wide.

"Hi" you say hesitantly and glance over at the girl on his arm. You've seen her before at school, though you don't share more than one or two classes together. You notice she kind of resembles you in a way.

" Well, that's a coincidence!" Tyler exclaims cheerfully.

"Yeah, um, it really is," you then say, smiling slightly.

"Right, and coincidentally, I am y/n's boyfriend. Jess," Jess suddenly announces in a firm and definite tone. You look up at him and see his grim, newly stern face.

Tyler eyes Jess dismissively and smirks, "Nice. I'm Tyler"

"Chelsea's boyfriend," the girl on his arm adds, grinning big.

"Yeah, that's Chelsea" Tyler comments unnecessarily and returns to staring at you with obvious interest "So, what are you doing out here tonight?"

Before you even get the chance to answer, Jess has already leaned forward. "We're going to the movies, if you don't mind" Jess puts his arm around your waist and pulls you closer.

Tyler laughs smugly "I was asking Y/N, if you don't mind".

The two boys glare at each other and you clench your jaw. Oh god, this is not going too well.

Tyler then leans back a bit "Alright, you guys want to go the movie theater. Funny, Chelsea and I were going to see a movie today too."

Jess takes a sharp breath, but this time you beat him to the punch.

"That's actually quite a coincidence," you say, hoping to be able to smooth things over, "Jess and I want to go see this futuristic movie `Equilibrium`. The one with this new actor who played that psycho two years ago. Um... what was his name again?"

"Christian Bale," Jess mutters through clenched teeth, still giving Tyler a dark glare.

"Oh, that's right." you chime in, trying to cover up for Jess's bad behavior with being overly polite "Truly a gifted actor, in my opinion. So… which movie are you going to see?"

“Uh, well,” Tyler tilts his head slightly, “The one you wanna see. Uh, the one with Bale, Christian Bale” You notice Chelsea taking a confused look at her boyfriend.

Jess snorts “Say that again. Come on. What’s the name of the movie you so desperately can’t wait to see?”

Tyler towers up in front of Jess and pushes his chin forward "I said, the one with the Bale guy"

"And I said, say the name of the movie!" Jess insists firmly.

"Oh, come on now" Tyler shoves his hands into the pockets of his jeans "You're actin' like I don't know it"

"So, do you know it?" Jess asks snidely.

"Of course I do! It's like Y/N just said. It's Equilli... Equil... Equillum-" Tyler groans, "It doesn't even fucking matter!!!"

“Equilibrium, you idiot! And it does fucking matter! How are you gonna see a movie you don’t even know the name of?!”

You know it’s time for you to try to defuse the situation "Cut him some slack, Jess. After all, it is a complicated name for a movie."

Jess looks at you in disbelief. He can't believe you're sticking up for this douchebag.

All of a sudden Chelsea speaks up: "Ty, I had no idea we were going to the movie theater today, let alone that we were gonna watch this weird Equi-something movie. That guy Bale gives me the creeps, he was way too convincing as the psycho to not be a psycho in real life..."

"It's called acting, Chelsea" Tyler sighs

"Wait, so you didn't even want to go to the movies? Oh, that really hurts, Tyler!" Jess says, the sarcasm painfully obvious. His arm remains around your waist and he pulls you close once more "Really! I didn't see that coming, did I?".

The situation was getting more and more tense, and Jess' jealousy certainly was no help.

"Well, I guess it doesn't really matter anyway," you mutter, still trying to smooth things over, "Actually, it's none of our business, is it, Jess?"

With doe eyes you look up into Jess's frowning face. He doesn't say a word, even though you know he disagrees with you.

You turn to your ex-boyfriend and poor Chelsea, who you somehow feel sorry for. "Also, Jess and I really need to get going now or else we're going to miss the beginning of the movie, so..."

Tyler puts his arm around Chelsea again. "Yes, we gotta go," he says unironically, "The beginning is as important as the end."

you had thought it would be impossible for Tyler to still stick to his plan to accompany you two to the movies after all the bickering. But Tyler's words, spoken so casually, reveal that you had thought wrong

Jess stares at him in shock, "We?" he repeats. "We gotta go watch the movie??!"

[...]

Part 2 is going to follow very soon!!

(also, don’t take my writing too seriously, I’m just trying to have a little fun with it... and yes, I’ve seen the movie)

note: story takes place in 2002 (when Equilibrium was first released)

edit: part 2 is up now => https://at.tumblr.com/scarlet4rose/the-ex-boyfriend-pt2/lpdl24ftepu9
