Hi, I was wondering if you could write anything fluff with Henry Bowers
โค๏ธ๐ค
of course! <3 these are just hcs since i have a bad cold right now n im busy, so my bad anon!
โก FLUFFY HENRY BOWERS HEADCANNONS !
โก henry is mean. we both know that. he uses it as a defense, because if he's the bully, he won't get bullied
โก that's what you came up with, when he made snarky comments to the teachers in your shared classes, when you overheard him complaining about his dad, and pieced it together
โก you two started dating after you pestered him to let you walk him home, and ended up getting along really well
โก he has a huge !! soft spot for you, you're his number one priority. will literally do anything for you
โก the losers are probably definitely thankful you're distacting him
โก if you're friends with richie, he'll make at least five jokes about it
henry is sitting on his sofa, with you curled up on his lap, reading your favorite book. a movie is playing in the background, but he's not really paying attention, more focused on raking his fingers through your hair. the phone rings, and he reaches to pick it up. "hello?" he's still fidgeting with your hair with his free hand. "where are you? we've been waiting for a solid while." you hear belch complain, ending with a groan. "dude, i told you, i'm with y/n." he drops the phone back into its cradle. "i'm sorry, i didn't know i was interrupting plans," you apologize, looking up at him. "what? fuckin' god, y/n. i'd hang out with you anytime."
โก lots of kisses everywhere. nose, forehead, temple, hand
โก makes sure you know he'd much rather be with you
โก like on phone calls, if you ask him how he is he'll go "not good :( i miss you" "henry, i just left your house"
โก bonus points if you're clingy, he feels a lot better about his own attachment
summary: henry had another argument with his father, now he seeks comfort in his girlfriends arms
เผบโเผป
as you stepped out of the bathroom, clothed into your pyjamas which was only pink panties and henry's t-shirt he once gave you, ready to lay down to your bed and get some rest; as soon as you opened the door to your dark room, you felt light breeze of a fresh air hit your bare legs.
that was unexpected. you thought you had your windows closed, so you hit the light and saw henry, your boyfriend, sitting on your bed while looking down on his lap. he had few cuts on his face and ugly bruise under his right eye.
his father. you thought. it was obvious, he had another fight with his father and by that bruise you assumed it was bad.
"hold on." you said as you turned on your heel and went back to the bathroom for first aid kid.
henry didn't say anything. he wasn't a big talker so he didn't tell you much about fights with his father, but he's always safe with you and he knows it. that's why he's here so late at night.
you were back in a minute, but you locked the door this time. it was unnecessary? maybe. but it made henry feel more comfortable.
you squated in front of him with a with a piece of cotton wool and disinfectant. "it will sting a little." you warned calmy with a slight frown on your face.
but henry didn't moved a muscled, his gaze just moved from his lap to your eyes. after few seconds of staring into each others eyes, you slightly tapped on his cuts with that cotton wool.
his eyebrows twitched two times but then he got used to it. "can i stay the night?" he asked.
you slightly smiled at him as you were done with cleaning his wounds. you stood up, cupped his face into your palms and kissed his lips. he didn't waist a second and kissed you back with passion. few more seconds and you broke the kiss to answer him. "of course."
henry's hands then snaked around your waist while he slowly leaned down on the bed, taking you with him. as you two made yourself comfortable in bed, his grip around your waist got tighter. so you can breath but cannot escape or be taken away. he protects you from others just like you protected him from his father.
after extra few seconds, you broke the silence "you wanna talk about it?"
"not really" he answered almost immediately.
you expected this answer but it was fine. at least he was safe now and you were willing to give him all the time he needed before he confide to you.
"but i don't wanna think about it when i'm with you. when i'm with you i think only about you." he continued.
that caught you off guard. don't get me wrong, henry was a loving boyfriend. he showed you that he loved you, he did not tell you tho because he's not good with his words.
it was rare that he used his words but every time he did, it melted your heart. even tho he wasn't good with words, he always said the right thing.
"tell me how was your day, doll." he finished with a slight smile.
oh how you loved when he smiled, because this smile was special. this was sincere smile that was only meant for you.
so you started yapping about your day. how you had your morning tea, after that a pilates class. also how you went with your friend into the mall where you bought new lipgloss.
henry on the other hand watched your lips moved and your face features that changed every second when you change the theme. he listened to every word you said and felt every move you took when you ran your fingers through his hair. but it was too much on him.
he was already tired and your soothing voice with those nails stroking through his hair just lulled him to sleep.
you were talking for five more minutes when you noticed his calm breaths and closed eyes. but his grip around your waist didn't loosen.
you smiled. he was so handsome when he was relaxed. you gently kissed his forehead before closing your eyes as well. slowly drifting to sleep with him.

Note: OMG this is literally my first ever request and I started screaming!! Thank you Sm anon!! Btw i'm sorry if you wanted hcs <3
It was the middle of the night, You were cozily lying in your bed drowning in your pillows and comforter. Suddenly the sound of rocks being thrown against the window of the room enter your ears awakening you from your blissful sleep. You remove the comforter from your body and walk over to the window peaking out the curtains which conceal your room to spot Henry bowers awaiting your gaze while standing in the middle of your front lawn like a serial killer.
Opening up the window to seek what kept Henry awake this late at night. "Henry?" you question attempting to read his expressions from the darkness of the sky.
"Can i come up. Please." it was low almost a whimper, the presents of sadness imported in his voice, Most likely from crying before appearing in the yard of your home.
Henry had been coming to your house recently, He had gained an unexpected attachment to you one day out of the blue and hasn't left you since. you had no clue on what caused the obsession to grow into the mind of Henry Bowers but it grew quickly it had only been a month since his claim over you and he had visited 15 times. Just like this one.
Opening the door to enter the hallway you softly step outside of your room carefully to not awaken your parents, You make your way down the stairs the anxious feeling flowing through your body in worry of a squeaky floor board blowing your whole plan to comfort Henry.
Finally making it to the last step you slowly unlock the door and open it to find Henry staring at you like a kicked puppy. It hurts you every time you have to see him like this, In so much despair from what he goes through at home, To know that he's found that you're his only moment of peace among his heartbreaking life. Every time you think about it your eyes begin to water.
You both stare at each other taking in all features shown by the light of the moon. You softly pull him into your arms careful not to touch any wounds that possibly be open from early on, He leans into your warmth while you take his head into you hands caressing your finger tips against his scalp in a attempt to calm his racing breaths.
"It's okay, I've got you. He won't hurt you while I've got you. I promise." You reassured him. You know he needed it, He needed Someone to take care of him. To be his safe haven to run to in his darkest times, And you couldn't lie. You loved being his safe haven.
You released your hands from his scalp and took his hand, guiding him up the stairs. One you both made it to your room was the first time he spoke since you found him in the yard.
"You tell anyone about this and i'll Fucking kill you. You understand?"
You could hear the shake of his voice while he spoke. The genuine fear in his tone. You knew he was trying to scare you, To keep you in his grasp longer in fear you would leave. The fear you would abandon him like his mother, The fear you would lose control of the pressure applied to you. That you would snap.
You fall back onto your bed signaling him to join you. He lays down next to you as you pull him into your chest. You hold him close to you as you wrap one of your hands into his dirty blonde locs and the other to rub you hand up and down his back.
"Do you need anything to eat or drink? Do you need me to clean any cuts? Cause i just bought a pack of band aids if you need them." You kept your tone low and soft so you wouldn't terrify him more than he was. You wanted to make sure he felt safe, Protected within you.
He stayed silent. Snuggling deeper within your chest snaking his arms around your waist to fully assure you were stuck with him. He squeezed you so hard you thought you were going to burst.
Henry didn't really talk during these moments, He didn't need you to talk either. He just needed to feel you, To have a space of comfort. You begin to get sleepy again from your bodies colliding, Adjusting your focus to each breath Henry took. Watching as his chest rises and falls. You heard him mutter something that you barely caught, But you were so glad you did.
"Thank you."
You felt your heart melting from the compassion he had for you. The trust he put into you to allow you to nurture him to comfort, To allow you to see him in his weakest of times. The motherly love he allowed you to gift to him.
"You don't have to thank me, Allowing me to care for you is enough. I know how difficult it is for you to put your trust into people." You spoke softly.
You felt as he finally let go, His body fully relaxed from your words. You could hear as his breaths got softer and more organized while he slowly drifted into a peaceful slumber.
He started to snore lightly, slightly letting go of his grip upon your body. You shut your eyes and listened to his snores drifting away into sleep with the boy you cared about the most.
"he loved fucking you up like this, making you melt underneath him"

This is the first fanfiction I've written since middle school, don't judge me too harshly or I'll cry โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
Peter pulls your hair from behind, using his other hand to grab your hip tightly as he slams into you, bottoming out with nearly every thrust, causing you to whimper underneath him. You gasped as you felt an invisible force putting pressure on your sensitive clit, rubbing slow, teasing circles in your wetness.
His breathing hitched as you reached back, digging your nails into his thighs but it didn't slow him down. He'd never admit it out loud but he liked the pain you inflicted on him. He was ravenous, muttering strings of curse words under his breath as you tighten your grip on his thigh.
You felt him tighten his hand on your hip, yanking your hair back harder, speeding up his already wild thrusts. "God. feels so- fucking good." He stuttered out. "Where do you want me to cum, baby?"
"Cum inside me Peter, please" you whined loudly. this sent him over the edge, head tilted back, hips bucking into you in irregular thrusts, sending tingles through your body as he hit your most sensitive areas. You loosened your grasp, exhausted as he finished inside you.
He pulled his now sensitive cock out, gasping through gritted teeth. He relaxed his grip on your hair but did not let go completely. He guided you by your hair to flip over and spread your legs for him.
He quickly knelt in front of your core and began eating your pussy like he was starving. Swollen lips crashed into your skin as he sucked and licked circles around your clit, sending butterflies and tingles through your core. As you grew closer to your orgasm, your legs couldn't help but try to squeeze shut. You were already sensitive from him fucking you. Peter forced them down with his hands as he continued eating you. "please, please" you said, running your fingers through his soft blonde hair erratically. "Please what, hmm?" he groaned into you. You could practically feel him smirking.
"Please, can I cum?" you blurted without hesitation. Sticking 2 fingers inside you as he stopped licking just to say, "Yes, baby. Cum for me". He thrust his fingers into you just right, curling gently, continuing to lick you and still holding your leg down with his free hand. You exploded under his touch. Uncontrollable waves of pleasure overtook your body as you felt yourself clenching around his fingers. "Hmm, I love seeing you like this" he rasped against the sensitive skin of your pussy, leaving you with one last kiss on your now delicate clit.
He pulled his fingers out slowly, running them over your swollen clit one last time, causing you to whimper and shudder. He loved fucking you up like this, making you melt underneath him.
He crawled over you, grabbing your face by your cheeks. "Open your mouth for me," he said with his now coarse voice. You obeyed immediately, opening wide as he spat in your mouth. You could taste the both of you on your tongue. He chuckled gently, now moving to your neck, kissing you all over. He whispered in your ear with ragged breathing "you did so well, baby", running his hands through your hair for a moment, then leaving a kiss on your cheek
Peter always knew how to make you blush. You kissed him on his sweet, swollen lips with a shy smile, thanking him for taking such good care of you.
The way he praised and cared for you after pummeling your insides was always pure bliss. Peter went to fetch you some fresh cold water and a towel. He lit your favorite candle and asked if you'd like for him to run you a bath. Of course you said yes, so he happily prepared you a nice, warm bath and even carried you to the tub, peppering you with kisses the whole time.

How Peter Ballard Shows His Love
headcanons
summary: the little things peter does to show his love for you
pairing: peter ballard x reader
warnings: none :)
note: i could look for gifs of jamie all day heโs literally breathtakingly beautiful please send more 001 requests i could talk about him for hours !!
I feel like Peter wants to be so affectionate he just isnโt super sure how to go about it.
Your relationship is still a secret, so PDA isnโt really an option. He does, however, sneak into your room late at night during the guardsโ shift changes.
He actually really loves to cuddle. At first, he was a little awkward because he didnโt have much experience but he eventually really warmed up to the idea.
He especially loves to hold you !! When heโs feeling a little overwhelmed or anxious, though, heโll ask you to hold him, which is really nice because it means that he trusts you enough to be vulnerable.
The staff gets very little time outside, however he spends that time finding the prettiest flowers to pick for you. Heโll press them into a notebook and give it to you whenever he can.
He tends to show his love through acts of service. Heโll make sure that you have breakfast, heโll organize your things for you, heโll take your shift if youโre tired, etc. He likes to do little inconspicuous things like that for you.
Heโll also take the blame for anything you do wrong, which often subjugates him to hours of electric shock punishments, but he never regrets it. Heโd rather take the blame for all your wrongdoings than let you get hurt.
He really likes to hold your hand. Heโll play with your fingers or rings, especially if heโs feeling anxious.
On some occasions, he takes the risk of falling asleep in your bed. He knows that heโll have difficulty sneaking back to his room before morning, but he adores watching you sleep peacefully. He really enjoys quiet moments like that, it makes him feel more human.
He creates multiple plans to help you escape, even if he canโt come with you. You usually choose to stay, refusing to leave him behind, but the thought is incredibly appreciated.
He has a few books that he likes to reread to you whenever he can. Late at night, heโll lay in your bed, one hand supporting his head and the other holding a book, while you lay quietly on his chest.
He always remembers your birthday !! Nobody really celebrates things like that in the lab but heโll always make sure to have a small gift for you or extra time to spend with you on this day.
He lets you play with his hair !! Itโs really a win-win because his hair is so soft that you could play with it for hours and he adores having his hair played with. It puts him to sleep so fast !!
Every now and then, when heโs feeling soft or is missing you, heโll write you a little letter detailing how much you mean to him and heโll slip it under your door.
Heโs very caring !! Heโll always check up on you and make sure youโre doing okay.

โHappy birthday y/nโ your friends shouted. You stood there at your locker smiling ear to ear as your friends had a cupcake on a plastic plate in your face with a plastic candle. On it was a plastic fake flame on top it was cute and sweet.
You closed your eyes and pretended to blow the candle out you opened your eyes and your friend Octavia hugged you putting the cupcake in your hands as your other friend took a picture of you two pulling the captured moment out of the camera and waving it to see the result.
You were so happy. The day started so well that your dad let you open one gift this morning at breakfast and said you could open the rest of your gifts at your birthday party.
You couldnโt stop smiling at your beautiful bracelet as you walked through the school doors only to have a happy greeting as everyone you walked past wished you a happy birthday.
It was the best feeling but in the back of your mind you kept wonderingโฆ
Why hasnโt Henry wished you happy birthday โ
You and Henryโs relationship was secret but you still expected him to leave a little note in your locker or meet you in a private area and wish you happy birthday like a good boyfriend.
But the day has just begun and he probably wasnโt even at school yet so you brushed it off and enjoyed your cupcake as you and your friends walked to class.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
you finished your cupcake and was in your seat talking with your friends till Octavia looked at the door with concern and confusion.
So you turned around too see poor Stanley Uris with the school nurse and tissues up his nose and you just knew Henry and the rest of the bowers gang was behind it.
You were sad to see Stanley like that but a little excited to know Henry finally showed up to school
You donโt know what it was about Henry but you just wanted to smother him in love and be around him. His life seemed so interesting when he wasnโt bullying kids in and out of school
He doesnโt know what it is you find so exciting about him always saying that thereโs nothing too him and you can admit sometimes when your hanging around him and the rest of the gang it is really boring.
But just being around him was the excitement for you
Your life was more boring than his in your opinion all you did was hang out with friends and go to the arcade, the candy shop, and church. Other than that you did. Nothing. He was your way of spicing up the boring routine.
but you knew Henry wasnโt like any other typical boyfriend so when it came to him you had to keep the kisses and cuddles down to a minimum.
But Just after the nurse sat Stanley down in his seat and asked him an additional time was he okay he nodded his head and she walked out of the class but just walking past her was Henry I kept a calm face but in reality I just wanted to go up and kiss him.
Thats how you always felt but as usual you had to keep your cool.
Only the bowser gang and Octavia knew you guys were in a secret relationship and teased you guys about it all the time either that or Patrick would be begging you to hook him up with one of your friends specifically Octavia he liked how feisty she was.
And the only thing Octavia had to say about patrick was โhell noโ she practically yelled it when you first said it. you just told him she had a boyfriend
Being in a secret relationship was hard at times like having to hold your tongue when you would hear girls talking bad about him in the locker room
You donโt know how you and him got together and you know you guys are total opposites but as they say opposites attract.
You watched as he and the boys walked to the back of the class and sat in their seats Henry was laughing at something one of them said then turned around and made dead eye contact with you.
You smiled at him But you were taken aback when he glanced at you and turned back around
โOuch, trouble in paradise huhโ Octavia asked you turned around โI donโt know Iโll talk to him laterโ you stated
You faced to the front when you heard the teacher walk in โgood morning class todoy we will be diving in to the history of the Great Warโ she said with a big smile on her face
Everyone gave out a group groan caused by the news
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
As the class ended you went outside to see the guys walking down the Hall you already new where they were going so you followed
They were going into the direction of the back where kids would smoke in the back of the school
Henry taught you how to smoke or at least inhale smoke he would take a puff and blow the smoke in your mouth that how you guys had your first kiss
Just sitting in an abandoned car out there while the rest Of the guys were messing with shit. he inhaled then grabbed your face and blew the smoke in your mouth and told you to hold it so you did
And while you did he was looking at you and not like he usually did he was looking at you like he was thinking of something โwhatโ you said letting the smoke go he then kissed you.
He kissed rough and also like he didnโt know what he was doing he was kinda aggressive he had his hand around your neck pulling you close and kissing like a had something to prove.
You just pulled away and he looked at you like he knew he did something wrong โtry thisโ you said and put your arms around his neck and kissed him softly and slowly letting your lips linger on his letting your lips touch and rub against each otherโs before going in again.
It was much better and you could tell he liked your way much more. he put his hands on your waist and pulled you in You rubbed one of your hands through his mullet and grabbed his hair lightly tugging on it You could tell he liked it When he moaned in the kiss and tugged on your dress.
just as you started to catch up you yelled Henryโs name only to be ignored. you thought he didnโt hear you. so for extra measure you yelled his name again
This time so loud that when you did a couple people stared at you But just as before he ignored you .and you know he heard you.
You walked away back down the hall your cheeks hot from embarrassment caused by a few people looking at you from Henry not answering you.
It was finally last hour and you couldn't wait to get out of school so you could find Henry and tell him off.
You were totally pissed at him. all day he has been ignoring and not saying a thing.
It hurt your feelings of not knowing if you did something wrong or if he just didn't like you anymore.
But you were completely caught off guard when you finally got to belches car Henry turned around and put a piece of duck tape on your Mouth and Patrick put a blind fold on you.
Itโs been 14 minutes since the he bowers gang kidnapped you. The car was kinda silent the boys only breaking the silence with little snickering.
There you laid in the back seat with Henry your head resting in his lap as he played with your hair you knew it was him because you recognized his smell you had gotten used to his drug store soap smell.
You stayed silent trying to feel the way the car turned and moved so you could know were to go when you finally got out. it was a crazy idea but you have heard of people doing that in kidnap situationโs. hopefully you can remember.
Once the car finally stopped Henry pulled you up and helped you out of the car. once you were finally on your feet you were off them again you felt someone pick you up bridal style and start walking.
you couldnโt tell where you were all you heard was multiple sounds of leaves crunching as they were walking. You closed your eyes listening to the bird chirping.
You mixed those two sounds together and estimated that you were probably in the woods. You were starting to get a little scared you never knew what to expect with the bowers gang. Your head slowly started to fill with scary thoughts.
โAre they going to kill me ?โ
โ are they going to get rid of me on my birthday ?โ
โHenry wouldnโt let that happenโฆ would he?โ
You were pulled out of your deep thought when you were put back on the ground you stayed silent as someone sat you down in a chair.
You started to breath heavy as it got very quiet and all you could hear was whispers your brain started to panic. were they going to hurt you?
All of a sudden the bandanna over eyes was pulled off it took you a minute to adjust to the sun light but when you finally got your vision back you heart started to swell and your eyes got very watery.
โYou guys shouldnโt haveโ you said to the boys as you started to stand up on your feet you looked around to see balloons and birthday decorations all around the abandoned junk yard where the boys hung out at.
โHappy birthday y/nโ the boys said all together you couldnโt believe they did this for you. Your smile was from ear to ear.
There you sat in the back of an old rusty truck with Henry your head on his shoulder the rest of the boy were off some where playing with fire crackers. you looked up at Henry as he took a bite out of the birthday cake they got you He then looked down at you staring at him โwhat the fuck are staring at me forโ he said with an annoyed tone โIโm just happyโ you said simply he rolled his eyes and kept eating his cake.
You grabbed his face turning it to yours and kissed him on the lips you pull away till Henry grabbed your neck and pulled you back in kissing you roughly
locking eyes with his he had no expression but his face was as red as a tomato. You went back to laying on his shoulder till he got up.
โCome with meโ he said you stood up and walked over to where he was โclose your eyesโ You did as he said and closed your eyes โnow open themโ
You did as he said again and when you opened your eyes there was a beautiful necklace around your neck it have a silver chain and on the end was a big blue diamond on it.
It was absolutely gorgeous but you knew Henry couldnโt afford something this expensive. โHenry be completely honest with me. Did you steal this?โ You truly did like it but it was wrong to wear a stolen piece of jewelry.
โyeah I stole it for you I knew you would want some fancy piece of shit like that so when I saw it I knew I had to get it for youโ It was so sweet that Henry thought of you like that but your parents would be so mad if they knew you had stolen jewelry on
โHenry this was so sweet of you truly but i cant wear stolen jewelryโ you said looking at the beautiful diamond it was a shame something so pretty had to go right back to where it came from .
โYes, you can just donโt wear it for a while. The police are still looking for who stole itโ Patrick said you turned around and looked at him in annoyance. He had cake smeared all over his mouth you turned around back a Henry who was amused by Patrickโs cake face.
You started to look around at all the decorations then you looked back at Henry โLook Iโll let it go you went through a lot of trouble to make this a great birthday for meโ
Henry put his arms around your waist placing his hands on your ass (their favorite place to go) you grabbed his face and gave him soft kisses on his lips, which somehow turned into sloppy rough kisses.
โWhere have you been young lady?,โ your dad said as you walked through the front door at 6:00 and school got out hours ago โUm my friends held a little party at a diner for my birthday and after we went to the arcade I'm sorry dad I truly lost track of timeโ
Hanging out with Henry truly turned you into a better liar. that was a full-blown lie with a sprinkle of truth you did have a little party with friends but after Belch dropped you and Henry off at his house.
But your dad doesn't need to know you just had the sweatiest, hottest most tear-jerking, rough sex of your life in Henry's dad's old abandoned truck in his back yard. You're taking that to the grave. after you call Octavia and tell her every little detail Of course.
โOk thats nice but we were truly worried about youโ Your mom said you looked down trying to look sad โ I know mom that's truly a mistake on my part for not calling youโ you said putting your hand on your chest for effect.
โOk just make sure to call next time. Now go upstairs and get washed up so we can sing Happy Birthday and cut this cakeโ
You rushed upstairs and took a mini shower examining yourself in the mirror and looking at the hickeys on your neck and body, the nail indents on your hips were Henry's hand where when you were riding him. Just thinking. About it was like a dream but you knew it happened
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Once you got out the shower you put some clothes on and before you went back downstairs you hid the necklace and the hickeys Henry gave you. Once you were done you headed downstairs only to be greeted by your mom holding a cake with the candles lit and the lights were out and your whole family was singing happy birthday.
After the day you had it truly was a happy birthday.
summary: basically u have no clue how ur love life with jace is going
warnings: clueless clary, lashing out, a little bit of obsession??? jace is a little bit of an idiot (not rude, just ignorant) super off plot of tmi with like one scene youโd know, dorothea is like COMPLETELY ooc (out of character) ooc hodge, slightly ooc clary
i know it sounds boring but iโm just lazy to put anything so lol
also pls excuse the terrible pov pronouns im trying to use second person instead of first for this fic so yeah
AND my only knowledge of tmi is the movie so be kind ๐ค๐ค
-
you turn another page in your book, daydreaming as your eyes stare at the words on the pages.
jace. jace, jace, jace, jace.
it was all jace, the only thing that clouded your mind. you found it hard to tear yourself away from the thought of him when you imagined what his lips would feel like. would taste like.
itโs been some time now, the amount of time youโve been in love with jace. i mean, how couldnโt you? he is an angelโand lord you hate to remember how that was actually literalโbut heโs kind behind all of his sarcasm.
scratch that, heโs more than pretty. he is gorgeous.
when you think about rain, you think about jace. youโve always loved rain, so the two correlate.
reading, too. reading is always a fun and calming thing to do, even if youโre teased for it.
itโs not very common for shadowhunters or demon hunters to be so soft, at least thatโs what jace thought.
until he met you. he likes your softness. he liked a little too much, even. he likes that you donโt wear an overly amount of makeup like izzy does.
he likes that youโre comfortable with your own beauty. sure, he knows you arenโt confident, which he doesnโt understand.
he loved all of things before clary came. to you, he was okay with those things. he didnโt care about the reading or the makeup, thatโs why he didnโt tease you for it.
but when clary came, things changed. you noticed jace didnโt care much to defend you against alecโs smart comments about reading, and he didnโt even protest when izzy suggested giving you a makeover when it was time to go to magnusโ party.
yesterday, you blinked harshly as izzyโs hair curler left a section in your hair. you were deep in thought as izzy styles your hair, smiling as she brushed some hair out of your face.
โwhatโs gotten you so worked up?โ she said in a tone one talks in after laughing. anyone else would suppose she was being sarcastic, teasing you, even. clary probably would. but you knew izzy for your entire life to know how to read in between the lines.
โi just wish i wasnโt here.โ you mumbled, looking to the side.
โwith me?โ she scrunched your hair a little bit, giving it volume.
โno, iโd love to be in here talking to you about the party and if there would be any cute boys there or even the fucking escape route weโll have to use once we crash the whole thing.โ your voice was getting louder by the moment and izzy knew something was up.
โif youโre worried about miss googly eyed carrie or whatever her name is, i assure you sheโll only be here for a little bit.โ
โiโm worried about her, yeah, but not in the way you assume i am.โ you mumbled.
โi donโt know why youโd be worried, sheโs not going to take your spot in hodgeโs eyes.โ
as izzy reached for the brush, you crack a smile. you were always hodgeโs favorite, so, no, youโd never be worried about it.
โwhat do you mean โgoogly eyedโ?โ you asked curiously, pinching yourself in the wrist as you asked the question in regret.
โyou didnโt see it? sheโs like, totally in love with jace,โ izzy smiled and grabbed the curler.
your heart drops to your feet.
โjace seems to like her, too. heโs worried about her all the time, heโs the one who brought her hereโฆ itโs love at first sight if you ask me. dontcha think?โ
you swallowed. you wanted to cover your ears and scream until izzy shut up, but you couldnโt. โyeah, i do.โ you tried to hide the shakiness in your voice.
โtheyโd be cute together. especially with the height difference. i donโt know if you got a good look at her, but sheโs your height. short-โ
you tried not to roll your eyes.
izzy sighed before continuing. โand itโs a power couple. she seems innocent. not much like a badass. but we both know jace, on the other hand.โ
you forced a laugh. โyeah.โ
โnow that i think about it, you and clary are similar. really similar, actually. you guys would get along.โ
you bit your lip. in this moment, you wanted to tell izzy all about your love for jace, but it wasnโt worth it. there was no point. you swallowed. โmaybe, yeah.โ
izzy finished with your hair and moved on to makeup. later, you found yourself wearing an extremely short dress and thigh high boots. you had to walk to the party and you walked alongside jace, it was the one time he wasnโt all over clary that day and you just wanted to hear his laugh and to laugh at his jokes.
but now, today, the pages of your favorite book tickles at your fingertips as you stare at the worlds sputtered along them, your brain not registering a simple thing.
โthat book must not be very interesting.โ you hear from behind you, scaring you out of your daydream.
โjace!โ you exclaim.
โreally? is that me?โ he jokes sarcastically.
you giggle and playfully slap him in the shoulder. โshut up.โ
โwhat book is it?โ
โnever mind the book, what are you doing in here?โ
the blonde lets out a breath, flopping onto your bed. โboredddd.โ
youโre taken aback at this. calmly as you can, you say your response carefully so itโs not sarcastic. โwhereโs clary?โ
โwhat does clary have to do with my boredom?โ
you almost laugh at this. โnothing, youโve just been all over her yesterday and this morning, i thought you guys would be in a closet making out or something.โ
jaceโs expression drops as he feels his heart stop. his breath hitched. โwhy are you being like that?โ
you close your book. โlike what?โ
โlook, just because i have a heart-โ
you immediately lunge forward and feel his chest area where his heart is. you try to pretend that it isnโt beating crazily fast at the distance between the two of your faces.
โnot there.โ
jace canโt hide his laugh. โyeah, okay. well, just because i have a heart and want to help someone out, doesnโt mean iโm in love with them! and anyway, why is it such a big deal if i were in love with her?โ
โis that you admitting that you do?โ
โno! answer my fucking question!โ he demands.
you swallow, feeling defeated. โitโs not that. sheโs taking up all of your time and i literally donโt get to see you anymore.โ
you walk to your bookshelf and put your book in. keeping your cool was getting harder and harder by the moment.
โwell iโm offering now?โ he says, but it sounds like heโs questioning it.
โand then? what about tomorrow?โ you put your hair behind your ear, reaching for a gold ring.
โwhatโs that?โ jace gets off of your bed and points to the ring.
โremember when we were kids and you gave me a promise ring that one day weโd get married?โ your voice cracks as you place the ring on your finger. โit was sweet at first, butโฆโ
as you pull the ring off your finger, jace is quick to push it back on.
you feel the heat in your cheeks rising, going crazy. you swallow and look into his eyes.
he sighs, removing his hands from yours. โget ready, weโll leave in a bit. and if youโre so obsessed with clary, iโll ask her to come. you guys will get along.โ
he walks out of the room leaving you blushing and confused.
~
clary is all over you, she thinks youโre the coolest person to ever exist.
โyour hair looks really pretty, too.โ she says, brushing her fingers through it.
โthanks, izzy curled it last night.โ you try to hide the annoyance in your voice.
the cab car was extremely hot. the driver had a passenger in the front seat, so the three of youโjace, clary, youโ had undid your appearance runes and you were basically hitch hiking without the driver or the passenger knowing.
jace to the left of you and clary to the right.
if you were being honest, you didnโt want to be sitting next to him after what happened earlier. was he trying to say that he still wanted to marry you after all the years?
โoh, please, stop fighting over me, girls!โ jace jokes sarcastically. clary cracks up, but for once, you donโt laugh at his joke. he notices this and raises an eyebrow.
โso, clary, whereโs your mundane friend?โ you ask curiously, starting to think you were wrong about her at first.
โoh, heโs with izzy. she said sheโll take care of him while we go out.โ clary looks out the window, admiring the city.
โright.โ you turn to your left to find that jace was already staring at you, his gaze low at the hem of your dress.
youโd be lying if you said that you didnโt like the way you looked and felt in the dress and makeup you wore yesterday. you decided that before you headed back to the institute, you and izzy could go shopping. you found a ton of short dresses you bought without even trying on, of course.
โwhatโs up?โ you say, staring at jace, his eyes dancing along the hem.
he shootโs his head up, caught in the act. you smile to yourself. โyouโre wearing makeup, arenโt you?โ
you bite back a grin. โizzy gave me a bit, she said it looked pretty on me.โ
jace doesnโt seem amused. โi think you look better without it.โ
you donโt know if thatโs a compliment, but you find yourself with a stupid grin plastered on your face as you watch the scenery outside of claryโs window.
โwhere are we going, by the way?โ clary whispers.
โshit.โ jace gasps as he grabs your hand, making you instinctively grab claryโs. he opens the door on his side and the driver stops the car, going to see why the door opened and you start running.
you and clary are cracking up at how concentrated jace is as he turns the corner.
โwhere are we going?!?โ you repeat claryโs question from earlier as you start going down a hill.
โhodge used to take us there,โ he turns to face you, who has no clue where he plans on going. you raise an eyebrow with crossed arms. โdonโt start with the โoh, he used to take us everywhere!โ shit, we went a few times every week.โ
you smile. you never realized how much of a father hodge acted as, your parents had died in a battle against vampires, and jaceโs parentsโ no one really knew much about.
โi donโt know!โ you squeal.
jace squeezes your hand a little tighter and angrily pushes past a crowd of people who jump at the feeling of being pushed but nothing to be pushed by. after blushing over this, you turn to clary who shrugs at jaceโs random anger.
โare we going to see dorothea?โ you gasp when you realize and jace giggles.
โdorothea?โ clary asks, a little alarmed. โthatโs my neighbor!โ
โyou live next to dorothea?โ jace asks after turning around to face clary.
you see tension. you can practically feel it. it makes you sick to your stomach. claryโs going to take this moment to bond with jace, when you and him have been coming here since you were little.
โs-sheโsโ yes.โ clary struggles, looking down at her feet.
โsheโs yes?โ jace laughs at her own joke. you force a laugh to get out of the rearview.
โi knew i recognized this street,โ clary whispers to you as you turn the corner.
โokay.โ you donโt even want to talk to her anymore. sure, it wasnโt her fault that she lives next to dorothea, but it was almost completely obvious she got nervous when jace got a little too close to her. you clear your throat. โjace, weโre here.โ
jace was staring at the ground and he picks his head up without saying anything and turns back to you and clary.
โhave you got a key?โ he asks clary.
clary is still bright red as she nods, but she puts her hand under the mat on the porch and puts it through the keyhole.
โafter you.โ jace smiles brightly as he opens the door for you and clary.
you go in before her, jace takes notice to how you cut her off to get in front.
once the three of you are inside, you start to look around. itโs like a regular apartment building, budget was probably sixty thousand on the minimum interior decorating.
jace walks over to the first door on the first floor and knocks.
โshoo, put my mail at the door of my door!โ you hear from inside. you look at jace and smile, who smiles back. this gives you major butterflies.
jace knocks again.
โdisobeying bastards!โ you hear dorothea yell from inside before the door opens and you get a clear view of her. she didnโt age, she was already really old. she looked the same.
โoh my lord!โ she exclaims before extending her arms to jace and pulling him in a hug. jace doesnโt really appreciate physical touch that isnโt formed by him, but he accepts it because itโs dorothea. โjace, boy, youโve gotten so big!โ
she turns to you and extends her arms. โand hello, y/nโฆ youโre still small and fragileโฆโ
she chuckles to herself, but you canโt help but feel a little offended.
jace knows how you feel about this, so he rubs your back comfortingly.
โand claryโฆโ she looks at her unamused and then opens the door completely so you all can walk in.
her place has remained the same over the years. not a single book, even, has moved.
you linger closer to jace as you tour her one-bedroom which seems to make him uncomfortable. like youโre following him.
dorothea smiles as she takes a seat at her table. โjace, y/n, come sit.โ
you and jace look at each other. then you follow him to the table sheโs sitting at as clary explores the room.
โoh, i canโt believe how long itโs beenโฆโ she says, looking teary eyed.
โtwelve years.โ you say, trying not to make it obvious youโre uncomfortable. the situation is awkward.
dorothea stares at you blankly. โyou look so beautiful, dear.โ
โuh, thanksโฆ izzy let me borrow some makeup.โ
if you were being honest, jace looked pissed. it was stupid he thought he could control how you lived.
โshe still looks beautiful without it.โ he says, facing dorothea. he doesnโt even shoot a second glance towards you.
your cheeks grow red rapidly, and you try not to smile. โthanks.โ
jace crosses his arms.
dorothea smiles wildly at the two of you. โyou two still plan on getting married? youโre together, right?โ
you and jace look at each other and clary stops. she wants to see what he says.
then jaceโs gaze moves to your ring and you feel like youโre about to explode.
jace then turns to dorothea. โmaybe. i donโt know.โ
you look to the side and jace doesnโt shoot a second glance to you.
is that why he gave you the ring? he still wants to marry you? like he did as a little boy?
โthatโs wonderful, your babies would be beautiful you know?โ dorothea clasps her hands and stands up. โwell unfortunately you came at a bad time. i was just getting ready for bed, but donโt let that stop you. feel free to loiter, i suppose. i really did miss you children. and it was nice to see you, clary.โ
she really doesnโt care about clary though, which makes you feel happy for some reason. like you won.
โy/n, you sure you donโt want to go home and go to bed?โ jace asks with a smirk.
โshut up, jace. you never used to tease me about that. you always defended me for it.โ you donโt know why you said it, but once it was out of your mouth, you felt you spoke the truth. you just wish it wasnโt in front of dorothea.
โiโm just joking,โ jace laughs and clary is cracking up from beside you.
you have to finish what you started. โjoking? but isnโt that what alec and izzy did? hell, even magnus!โ
dorothea realized she wasnโt welcome in this argument and had made her way to the other room for bed. you shoot a glance at jace that says โbring this outsideโ but not in a friendly manner.
jace grabs your hand and rushes you outside, leaving clary standing there, confused.
โyou NEED to stop, okay?โ jace spits, holding you by the shoulders.
โiโm sorry, are you angry iโm finally standing up to you and your obsession with clary?โ as you said this, you kept getting up in his face. this didnโt please him in the slightest. he didnโt want to want to kiss you ask you SCREAMED at him.
โstand up for yourself some other fucking time! right now, we just came to see dorotheaโ i just BROUGHT you to see dorothea and youโre being an ungrateful fucking brat, you know that?โ
you shouldnโt. you shouldnโt be blushing at his words. theyโre not coming out in the sense you would blush at them, so why are you?
โjace..โ you feel every wall within you fall. every hope and dream is shattered. โiโm done waiting for you.โ
โwaiting for me? waiting for me to do what?โ his tone immediately dropped asks he felt his heart shatter.
your gaze is followed by jaceโs when you look down at your hand and slowly slip the promise ring off of your finger. โiโm done waiting.โ
you try to walk away, so he doesnโt see you cry, but he grabs you. he pulls you back in front of him and immediately attaches his lips to yours. you melt into the kiss as soon as he does it, your hands going around his neck while his travel to your waist. it was perfect. this was perfect.
after a good long moment, you come up for air, the first to pull away. you entangle your fingers in his hair and push your forehead onto his. โjaceโฆ you canโt.โ
another part in jace shatters, but he doesnโt know what it is. โi canโt? i canโt what?โ
you canโt help but look at his lips. pink already, and youโd only kissed for a good twenty seconds. you wonder if yours are like that. โwe canโt do this. us.โ
โwhat? why not?โ
โbecause you love her.โ you look towards the house, to dorotheaโs room where clary was watching you through the window.
he chuckles and kisses you on the lips again, this time for longer. when he pulls away, he cups your face with his hand. โjust you. only you. always you.โ
which makes your heart explode. that was something you said to each other all the time as kids, and you canโt believe he remembered it.
โiโve always loved you, y/n. did you think my promise ring was some kind of joke?โ

โIโm In Love With You Tooโ โข Jamie Campbell-Bower
authorโs note: Gosh I havenโt posted in decades!! I apologize for just disappearing, so hereโs a short fluffy Jamie imagine for you<3
warnings: nothing just pure fluff, though there may be a few grammar mistakes sorry!!
โJamieeeโ She whined softly from the comfort of the dark grey sofa in the middle of the living room. The fireplace was bright with flames, the tv set on a random channel and my shivering body was now covered with a heavy quilt. That night was a cooler night, and nights like those were meant for tea and cuddles by the fireplace.
Jamieโs shirtless figure stood in the kitchen making the apple cinnamon tea she had requested. She watched as he moved about the space. He was in his own little world, too spaced out to notice her calling his name.
โJamieโ She calls again, this time he turned around and smiled. Seeing the beautiful girl wrapped tightly in the blanket made him feel all warm inside. He admired her a second longer, running his piercing blue eyes over her facial features. Though he was at least 10 feet away from her, he could still see how her eyes sparkle under the fire light.
โAre you almost done?โ She asked, a soft chuckle escaping her mouth at the dazed state her boyfriend was in.
Jamie turned back to the mugs quickly to take the tea bags out and stir some sugar into her tea. The smile seemed to stick to his face the whole time he does this.
Finally, he made his way over to the couch with two hot cups. He set them down on the wooden end table by her head.
She smiled up at him as she moved the quilt to the side so the blonde man could slip in beside her. Jamie took his place behind the girl, wrapping his arms lovingly around her waist. He buried his face into the crook of her neck, inhaling the faint scent of her perfume. He began to leave soft kisses along her soft skin, causing a sweet chuckle to leave her lips.
In that moment, everything else in the world seemed to stop. Nothing was heard but the faint crackling of the fire and her laboured breaths. Nothing was felt but the warmth of her body against his and the softness of her skin against his lips. No one else existed but them in the coziness of their shared apartment.
โIโm in love with youโ Jamie whispered against her neck, leaving another kiss to where his confession had landed on her skin. He could feel her breathing hitch as the words left his mouth. Shit he thought. What if she didnโt feel the same? Of course over their 8 month long relationship they had both said the three magical words I love you on many occasions. The phrase was second nature by now, but hearing the words โIโm in love with youโ caused the girls mind to short circuit. She couldnโt believe what she had just heard fall from his mouth. She couldnโt form words, or even thoughts for that matter. So she did the only thing she knew she could do in that moment to show him what she wanted to say. She swiftly turned around to face him, grabbing his face in her hands. Her smile was all he needed to see to know that she did indeed feel the same. And to seal the deal, she planted a deep, passionate kiss on his lips. Thatโs when his mind short circuited. The world truly did stop when they shared the kiss.
As they both pulled away, she leant her forehead against his. Her eyes were still shut, but his were open. He once again admired her beauty, but this time he could see every freckle on her skin along with the soft blush that appeared on her cheeks.
Just before he falls into another love-drunk daze, she parted her lips to say the one thing he so desperately wanted to hear from her.
โIโm in love with you too.โ
Hope you enjoyed๐ซถ please send in some requests for some stranger things characters! Iโve been on an eddie/steve/billy/001 rampage recently
In the moments as I was shoving clothes and memorabilia in my former high school backpack - which was rather small, mind you -, my thoughts turned to my mother. Sheโd never believe me and would just shorten the length of time I had to escape. And if I left her here, would the โcaptorsโ take her in my place? Would she get killed?
But I was in love with Henry. He knew what he was talking about. And at the end of the day, I envisioned a future with him, even if I wasnโt entirely sure I wasnโt just insane.
I swung open the bedroom door, and I heard my mother gasp from her bedroom, the door half-open as she prepared herself for sleep. I hadnโt even changed my clothes, instead having done nothing but pulled on socks and the hiking boots buried in my closet. I was already panting in disarray, so baffled at my own actions but still set in my ways.
โY/n! Baby, what are you doing? Whatโs wrong? Are you going somewhere?โ my mother exclaimed, dashing out the door and quickly trailing behind me.ย
She attempted to grab me before I descended the steps, but I had to stay silent. Otherwise, I knew Iโd sound insane. Sheโd never believe me after the diagnosis the psychiatrist gave me. And they could be here any moment. She kept clawing at me, and I kept tearing away. I could hear confused sobs escaping her lips.
As I made it to the entrance, she finally caught me. Her arms wrapped around my waist in a tight, unmoving grip. โY/n, dear, calm down! You didnโt take your pills, did you?โ
I kept trying to struggle free, gritting my teeth as stressful, mourning tears rushing down my cheeks. โMom, I took the medicine! And Henry, h - he reached me anyways! I know it sounds insane, but heโs real, mom. And you have to let go because his captors are coming to kill us as we speak โ!โ
โBaby, shush! Are you even listening to what youโre saying? J - just calm down and we can talk about it.โ
Her sobs echoed in my ears and I took a moment. What I was saying was insane. I believed it whole-heartedly, and yet, in my many months of researching, I never found anything that indicated any possibilities of what Henry displayed. I couldnโt help myself, though. It was so real.ย
โI - I canโt, mom. Weโre in danger. Please, we need to go. Can we at least drive somewhere else and then talk โโ
โHoney, heโs not real. None of it is. Itโs just that your medicine didnโt work, or maybe you hallucinated taking it.โ
My struggling ceased. My mother was panting from trying so hard to restrain me, and I paused in thought. I didnโt want to hurt her in any way, but I would need to if she kept holding onto me. I sucked in a final breath, and I croaked,โ Mom, please. Believe me, if only enough to get out of the house. I - I know it sounds crazy, but itโs the truth. And weโre in danger.โ
I heard her hiccup sadly and her grasp around me loosened. I slipped out, but instead of going for the door while I had the chance, I turned to her and hugged her tightly. She returned it whole-heartedly and I felt so very sad. She was sobbing into my shoulder incoherently, and I could but listen.
I loved Henry, but my mother was still the keystone of my life. If anything happened to her, Iโd feel so very awful. And I was certain she was on the verge of being convinced to run with me, if only for โ
A knock sounded on the door. My mother froze, and I immediately pulled away. I grabbed her shoulders and steeled my expression. I refused to speak and my motherโs mouth was agape. I whispered quietly to her,โ We need to go. Itโs them.โ
My motherโs brows furrowed, and I thought she would disagree, but she gulped. โCan I justโฆ See whoโs there?โ
I shook my head, but she didnโt listen. I watched in despair as she raised her head to the small peephole. She gasped, turning back to me, and that was enough to convince me of Henryโs existence. He was real. But so were they. And we were about to die if we didnโt get out.
Just as my mother stepped away from the door unsurely, a crash echoed from the other side of the house. Our back door had seemingly been dismantled, and horror dawned on me. They had us cornered, and those precious moments I spent hugging my mother couldโve been the last chance to escape.ย
My mother grabbed me and ushered me upstairs. I followed suit, but we heard thudding footsteps echo the large - and very old - home. A scream bubbled in my throat as we made it to the top of the steps, but the front door burst down, too. My mother was even more startled than I was, and we locked ourselves into her room.
Right away, I reached for the sheets. My mother was having a panic attack, and that left me to try and figure things out. However, as I threw open a window, I lurched back as I saw a man drenched in a black outfit, a sniper gun pointed toward us. The entire home had been surrounded, and a sob released.
Suddenly, all movements ceased. The strangers had us surrounded by all means. And then, a knock sounded from the bedroom door. My mother and I both turned toward it waiting for anything more.
โY/n L/n. Please open the door. We just need to talk.โ
There was a long pause as my mind churned. They were waiting.
And then I mustered,โ W - who are you and what are you doing to Henry?โ
Silence again. โI am Doctor Brenner. I believe you are referring to One. He is a worker at our facility for gifted minds. I am the manager of this facility. We prioritize security and One has been directly violating these terms. Please, open the door and I can answer more of your questions. I would hate to force my hand on you and your mother.โ
My mother, desperate and confused, opened the door without question. I was terrified, and yet, there was something so odd about the man who was the โmanager.โ He was adorning an untouched suit, adorned a friendly smile and looked to be in his sixties. He was surrounded with people who couldโve been swat members, but clearly werenโt because usually they had badges. They were so secretive.
I opened my mouth as he raised his hand. I almost followed, thinking he was planning to wave, but a man with a gun pulled the trigger. A scream tore at my throat as chaos ensued. My motherโs body, lifeless and spewing blood, fell to the ground.ย
I was paralyzed in place as more bodyguards rushed in. I thought I was next, but instead, I was grabbed. Something stung at my throat as I attempted to struggle with what awareness I had. And almost immediately, darkness clouded my vision.
~~~
โโฆSee? This is what your disobedience has done, One. You forced the fatality of her mother and almost yourโฆ lover. However, out of the kindness of my heart, I have brought her here. You two will work together. She will become a part of our family.โ
โPapa, please. Sheโs done nothing wrong. I read her thoughts. She thought I wasnโt real. You could have just punished me โ!โ
โDo not raise your voice at me, One. I do not want to punish you further - Ah. It seems she is waking up.โ
I finally forced my eyes to open, and yet, I had to blink say the brightness. Shining down on my was a lamp, and everything else seemed dark. The overhead lights were dim. I tried tilting my head, only to realize it hurt like hell. My fingers twitched and I wanted to speak, but my mouth was too dry.
Suddenly, the same man from before walked into view. He loomed over the tilted hospital bed I was in, and terror ran through my bones. I tried to sit up, only to yelp loudly. My entire body was strapped to it and tears immediately escaped as the memories came flooding back.
Henry was real. But now, I was wishing he wasnโt. None of this should be real.
โI apologize for the abrupt travels,โ the man chuckled, a polite smile stretching across his wrinkled face. โI know you will fit in well. I have reviewed your records and you have just the right personality to get along with the children.โ
I furrowed my brows. I went to speak, but all I could do was croak. The man peered over his shoulder. Suddenly, all my fear dissolved and I was but stunned. Still bruised and frail, was Henry. He looked so very sad, though. We made eye contact, and all I could see was regret as he frowned deeply. Within his hands, the knuckles torn, was a glass of water. The man stepped away and Henryโs hand slipped underneath my back.
โH - Henry,โ I gasped.
โYou will not refer to him by name now,โ Doctor Brenner explained calmly. โThe guards, for their safety, do not have names. That includes your own. Your life is about to change for the better now.โ
His words made my vision go blurry, but Henry helped me sit up further and pressed the glass to my lips. He looked like he was on the verge of tears, and I wanted so badly for some reassurance. To hear his silky, beautiful voice. The feel his fingers intertwined with mine. And yet, after I greedily gulped the water down, his warmth departed. He returned to his spot against the wall, a door right next to him. We maintained eye contact, and I could tell he felt so guilty.
It wasnโt his fault, though.
โNow. You will take a day to recover and then you will start training,โ the man continued. โHere, you will address me as โPapa.โ I am your family now, just as much as everyone elseโs. You will not speak unless spoken to or you are aiding one of the children. You are about to become a part of history, now. I have offered you this opportunity out of the kindness of my heart, unless if you wish to meet the same fate as your mother. Do you understand?โ
โI - Iโฆโ
โDo you understand?โ
I made eye contact once more with a very anxious Henry. He nodded, jaw clenched. He was pleading with me to make the right decision.
I could only hope we could talk at some point. I donโt know what I could do without Henry.
โY - yes.โ
โNot quite right.โ
โYes, Papaโฆโ
The man broke out into an even wider smile and he nodded courteously. He glanced between us two and sighed. โNow, I must return to work. You ned to as well. However, I realize our new addition to the family needs time to settle down, so perhaps you can help her, yes? Be back to your shift in half an hour.โ
I noticed he no longer addressed him as One. It made me so very startled. Had I really been robbed of my entire livelihood, and even my name?
And yet, as Henry walked up to me, all my fright faded. The moment the โdoctorโ left, Henry rushed to my side, the tears suddenly releasing, despite his best efforts. As he stood by my bedside, I reached to him. His head lowered as he unlocked the arm restraints and nothing else.
The second I was able to, I moved my hands to his cheeks. Tears also slid down. Everything was so numbing. I had lost everything. And yet, I found Henry. He looked so pained and not just physically. I bright his head closer, hands gentle as they cupped his cheeks.
โIโm so sorry, my dear,โ he croaked, entire body trembling. โI could never live without you, but I never thought that bas - he would take you here. I never wanted you in this hell.โ
I was mourning. My entire life. And yet, as Henry buckled to his knees, I twisted my body so I could pull his forehead to mine. For the first time, I really was feeling his warm breath against mine. My fingers were touching his flesh. Even if I was in hell, I was with the man I had come to be madly in love with.
โAt least I am with you, my love,โ I cried softly, cherishing the feeling of his forehead against mine. I nuzzled my nose against his and carefully wiped his tears, not wanting to hurt him. โI truly thought you werenโt real.โ
โIt would be better if we never met,โ he sighed. โAnd because of my carelessnessโฆโ
I hushed him and he fell silent. His hands reached out and gripped onto the hospital gown I adorned. I would soon wear something similar to what he had, I realized, and my entire personality would be robbed from me. But Henry was not. Henry was here, and that was enough in this numbed state of being.
โWe can find a way to โโ
He hushed me urgently, yes opening and boring into mine. They were so beautiful, even when shrouded with a cloud of tears. โWe must not speak about the past so openly.โ
โBut we areโฆโ
He grabbed my jaw carefully and tilted my head past him. I wanted to close to distance again, but then my age fell on the security camera. I watched in a daze as Henry pressed a careful kiss onto my cheek. It was prolonged, but I was unsure if I could tilt my head and feel his lips against mine.
However, he guided my head back and peppered kisses until we kissed. It was sizzling with unbridled passion. Just to have him in front of me was almost enough. But I wanted so much more. To feel so much more now that I was truly with him. But with how things had turned out, I knew that seemed to be impossible.
As the kiss ended, me pulling back, his lips chased mine out of instinct. Both of our eyes fluttered open and we gazed loving into one anotherโs depressed orbs. My heart beat erratically in my chest and my head felt fuzzy. None of this seemed real. Perhaps I would wake up and find myself dead or in the hospital and none of this was real.ย
My mother would be alive. I had a home and a name and an identity to return to.
Here, I was in hell. But at least I was in hell with Henry, the love of my life.
โThe bathrooms,โ Henry muttered fondly. โThereโs never cameras there. Andโฆ it will be easier to see you at night. You are close. It may be a while, butโฆ You and I - Just follow the rules, a - and things will be okay. Iโll keep you safe, no matter what, my dear.โ
โI love you, Henry. So, so much. Never leave me,โ I sighed, a smile twitching.ย
โI would rather die than leave you, my love,โ he mumbled, pressing a quick kiss to my lips. โAnd if you had diedโฆ There would be no reason to live. I love you too much. In reality, I would have gone insane without seeing you at night. You, Y/n, are the only perfect thing in this wretched world.โ
โOh, Henry,โ I cooed affectionately, chuckling dryly. โLife can be beautiful. When weโฆ you knowโฆ we will be happy. Why, I have dreamt so many times of being with you. Eating ice cream in a parlor, watching television together at dinner, gettingโฆ marriedโฆโ
My cheeks flushed at the last remark, and Henry chuckled lowly, humming in satisfaction. โI look forward to it, my dear.โ
~~~
Papaโs eyes ere glued to my form as I entered the playroom. After a few days - although there was no concept of time in this place -, I was finally introduced to the children. I didnโt like how easily I adjusted. After a few days of mourning, it was like I was too busy โfitting inโ to focus on the life I once lived. I barely saw Henry. He told me he was keeping quiet for a while, and that included the use of his powers. I was lonely, but even just a glimpse of him rejuvenated me.
And I had a goal. Not only to escape with Henry, but with all these poor children, of whom were used and abused. They were happy and brainwashed, but they shouldnโt have been. It wasnโt normal to be trapped and electrified. None of this was normal, and as time passed, I struggled to remind myself of that.
Papaโs kindness was faux. Everything about him screamed greed and selfishness. I would never fall for it, because on the back burner of my mind sat the memory of him allowing my mother to be shot down with ease.
There were several children, each adorning a badge with their number. It made me so sad that theyโd never experienced the joy of being truly loved and even named. I noticed that, from across the room, Henry was leaned over Eleven. He was particularly fond of her, or at least, I assumed so. Heโd never interacted much with the other children to my knowledge.
I noticed out of the corner of my eye, Two was struggling. Frustration was evident from his expression. The several building blocks were levitating - as incredible as it was -, but it didnโt seem to be enough for him. I smiled gently as I made my way over to him, crouching over.
โHello, Two. Are you doing alright?โ
He gasped as his eyes shot open and the blocks tumbled to the ground. It was clear he was annoyed, but he tried to refrain a glare, turning to me. A frown was evident on his expression. He was a very cute kid; they all were. I presumed he had to be at least in his early teen years, and yet, he was raised without even the little experiences I realized Iโd taken for granted.
He glanced away. โIโm weak today.โ
I tilted my head, crouching even further to the ground. The uniform stretched and was surprisingly comfortable. I ended up sitting criss-cross applesauce next them, picking up one of the blocks. โYou know, even being able to lift these at all is quite an accomplishment. Do not worry so much.โ
He seemed taken aback by that, but refuted,โ But Papa will not be happy with me if I donโt make progress. I am supposed to be the best.โ
โBut are you happy with yourself? I mean, I think itโs pretty impressive. I know I could never do what youโre doing, you know,โ I continued, sending him a reassuring smile. โIโm sure that youโre stressing out and that is why you are having a hard time. You should take a break to clear your head.โ
His shoulders hunched and he took my words to heart. Slowly, he nodded. โโฆOkay. If you say so.โ
โAnd, you know these blocks donโt only need to be used for your powers,โ I hummed, picking up a few of them. โIf you use your imagination, you can make shapes. Did you know that?โ
He pursed his lips before shaking his head, curiosity sparking in his eyes.
I grinned. โWell, letโs seeโฆ We can make a small castle. Do you know what a castle is?โ
โCastle?โ
I waited a moment, thinking about the general dimensions. I used the circular blocks to build the pillars and I made a small arch. The general basic castle, although Two was absolutely stunned. I built the castle quickly while the child watched my movements, seemingly memorizing the shape for future reference.
โA castle is somewhere a prince like you can live. It is a very big house with special guards called knights that wear metal armor. It is usually made of stone and it has a lot of treasure and gold inside. And it all belongs to the prince. It is a beautiful place that you can visit.โ
โWhere?โ he asked in wonder, eyes wide as his hand outstretched toward the make-shift building.
โIn your dreams.โ We both looked up to see that Henry was there, a tight smile forced onto his lips. I was on edge, and as we made eye contact, I could tell he was warning me to some degree. I gulped, but Two was visibly disappointed. Henry continued regardless,โ But it is very beautiful. Your dreams are the most beautiful place of all.โ
His gaze was glued to me as he said that, and my heart started racing. My smile regained its strength. Two nodded. โโฆMaybe. Papa says that dreams are important to talk about.โ
โAnd they are. Do your dreams make you happy?โ I inquired carefully.
I noticed that Henry was in earshot, but instead went to attend to another child. It was to curb Papaโs strict habits. I didnโt know the full extent of it, but apparently, there were specific rules in place for us two to prevent any rendezvous, but I trusted that, as Henry said, the bathrooms would be safe soon enough.
My attention returned to Two as he muttered,โ No. Iโve never dreamt of castles or princes or knights. Only here.โ
A frown stretched across my lips but only remained momentarily, not wanting to indicate any distaste that the compound surrounding me could note. I sent the poor boy a reassuring smile and patted his back, though. โDonโt worry. Maybe tonight you can dream of a castle of your own.โ
Two, alike to many of the children, never smiled. However, he did in that moment, if only for a second. His energy was seemingly rejuvenated and I knew it was a rule not to โpick favorites,โ so I rose to my feet and let Two get back to his work. I noticed as I tended to the others, though, that he made it so that the castle was floating.
How magical.
~~~
โTwo, youโre first.โ
Papa had innovated a new โgame.โ I knew nothing about it, but from the chalk lines on the ground, I assumed it wasnโt good. It was some one versus one, and it pained me to think that the children were being thrust into physically harming one another. I was with the other guards. Henry had a set of blindfolds to make sure they didnโt get damaged with each round, or so I could presume. It was like Papa knew how it would go.
I stood next to Henry, but I willed my eyes not to flicker toward him. However, our shoulders were pushed together, and there was another guard next to me that off-balanced the overwhelming love I held for the man and replaced it with discomfort.ย
The bot stepped forward. I noticed how his eyes flickered in my direction, and I gave him a small and unnoticeable smile that only he would see. He told me the other day that he had dreamt of a castle. That it was large and rainbow and was made of the clouds he saw colors on the wall of the playroom. It was thrilling to hear that even just a little Iโd made a difference in this hell hole.
Henry walked forward with a blindfold to Six, the first to go against him. I watched in anticipation as Henry returned to his spot, and I felt his fond gaze flitting over to me. I was stiff, watching in concern.ย
โBegin,โ Papa instructed.
The room was tense and so was I. While Six raised his hand and aimed it, clearly focusing as he could. Two clenched his fists and was but trembling slightly. He always looked so angry when he used his powers. It made him sad.
As Two grit his teeth, Six began to slide. His feet were barely inside the circle, despite the boyโs best efforts. Papa watched adamantly, eyes boring into the children. And suddenly, as Two grunted loudly, the poor child went flying back into the see-through glass.ย
I gasped, almost audibly, seeing as Six collapsed to the ground. However he seemed to be okay, except for being incredibly frightened. Both were panting furiously, and I clenched my jaw in order to prevent a firm frown. I felt Henryโs occasional glances, but I was solely focused on them.
โVery good, Two. Number Six, please, take a seat by the door.โ

Summary: Youโre a Lab employee an Peter finds you crying in a storage closet
Genre: fluff and angst
Rating: G
Tags: none :) it's just a super cute lil story :)
Days at the Lab working as an orderly had become so trying. There were so many demands made of you, so many rules to follow, so many tasks to complete. Every day was a replica of the last, each shift presenting the same mundane, yet anxiety-inducing responsibilities. Some days made it hard for you to remember why you had even chosen this career. Why was this the path you were on? It became overwhelming, swallowing you with a hollow sense of guilt that you hadnโt quite processed.ย
But then there were times when your circumstances lightened. The way certain children would smile at you when you helped them, the gleam you saw in their eyes when they reached a goal you had been helping them work towards. Other orderlies at the Lab were friendly, and you enjoyed being able to share such a unique connection with a group of people. And then there was Peter.
Peter had always been the friendliest. He was so warm, so comforting to be with. He was one of the few people who would ask you how you were doing and actually listen to your response. In many ways, Peter had taken you under his wing when you started. He taught you the rules so you wouldnโt have to learn them the hard way, and kept you company when the two of you had minutes to spare together. It was no surprise that you found yourself falling for him, head over heels. Peter was poetry in a world that was still learning the alphabet.
Today, however, had presented itself with its own set of trials, and you hadnโt seen Peter around to give you a moment of quiet amidst the chaos. The stressful burdens of your job weighed too heavily upon your shoulders, and it was for this reason that you found yourself alone with your head in your hands, tears streaming shamelessly down your cheeks, hidden away in a storage closet that was seldom visited.ย
Time passed differently when you were in complete solitude. No children bickering, no orders being barked at you by Dr. Brenner, no keeping your posture in check in front of your coworkers, nothing. You were allowed to slide apart and finally feel human. The seven minutes you had been sitting in the closet felt like mere seconds. It was time to pick yourself up and face the music again. You tried your best to wipe away your sobs, dabbing the sleeve of your cardigan beneath your eyes, so as not to irritate your skin. Your face was puffy, however, and you knew if anyone was paying close attention, they would know you had been crying.
โOkay, just hold on, let me grab a mop, give me a second,โ you heard a muffled voice call out from the hallway. There was no time to hide, no time to come up with a lie as to why you were standing here alone, holding yourself and sniveling.ย
The door swung open and you held your head low, tucking your head into your chest and keeping your eyes locked on the floor. But to your relief, it was Peter who stepped into the closet.
โOh, hey.. Hey, Y/N, are you okay?โ Peter asked, strolling fully into the limited space and allowing the door to close behind him. His voice was so delicate and kind, each syllable falling from his lips like honey.
โYeahโฆ yeah, sorry, Iโm fine,โ you lied, carelessly wiping your nose with the back of your forearm. You couldnโt bring yourself to make eye contact with him. Although the two of you had talked liberally in the past, he had never seen you this vulnerable.
โNo, no youโre not,โ he cooed, striding closer to you and tenderly placing his hand on your upper arm, โTell me whatโs going on.โ
โItโs just,โ you began, but that lump in your throat returned. Having someone actually ask made it more difficult to pretend you were your normal, charming self. โItโs just a lot here sometimes, yโknow?โ
Peter closed his eyes and nodded in agreement, running his hand soothingly up and down.
โI know, but youโre so strong. You are seriously such a great person, Y/N,โ Peter reassured you. If only he knew how he really made you feel, how deeply you pined for him, how desperately you wanted him to touch you as more than a consoling friend. It burned a hole in your stomach that caused shame to rise into your chest for even letting him witness you in such a state.
A beat of silence passed between you before Peter dropped his touch from you, his eyes searching for yours.
โThanks Peter, but I really shouldnโt have done this. Iโm sorry you had to see me this way.โ
You shuffled away from him and towards the door, your shoulders bumping as you passed him. Your hand touched the doorโs handle just as Peterโs fingers wrapped around your elbow. He turned you back around, not ready to let you face the outside halls unprotected.
โY/N, please, you can talk to me,โ Peter promised.ย
You brushed his grip away from you, not wanting him to detain you any longer.
โNo, Peter, I donโt think I can.โ
Peterโs expression shifted from concerned to borderline sickly.
โOf course you can. Have I ever steered you wrong?โ
You wracked your brain for a response. He hadnโt, and you knew it in your guts, but you convinced yourself that this wasnโt what this was about. This wasnโt about the way he treated you, it was about the way he didnโt treat you.
โNo, but-โ
โNo, but what?โ Peter cut you off. You could practically see his temperature rising, escalating beyond mild annoyance.ย
โI just donโt know who I can trust here.โ
Your voice was practically breaking under each word you spoke. You wanted so badly to simply be cradled in his arms, wholly protected by him. You did not want to fight, you couldnโt afford to lose him as your friend, but the way he persisted made it tricky not to match his irritated demeanor.ย
โYou donโt think you can trust me? After everything Iโve done for you?โ Peter asked. You swore you heard his voice tremble, a slight glimpse of sorrow peeking through his discontentment.ย
You picked at your fingernails, fidgeting beneath the heat of his interrogation. You recognized that he wasnโt outraged, but you worried that perhaps you had damaged the trust he had worked so hard to establish.ย
โI know Peter, Iโm sorryโฆ I justโฆโ Your mind couldnโt find the words to express this war inside you. There was too much you couldnโt tell him.
โItโs fine. Iโm sorry I pushed you so hard,โ Peter apologized, his voice full of everything but remorse, โI guess Iโll take more care in picking who I choose to look out for.โ
Peter walked towards you, ready to pass you by and leave the closet, but you stepped in front of him, wrapping your hand around the door knob, trapping him.
โGoddammit, I-โ you exhaled, closing your eyes in frustration, โThank you for looking out for me. Thank you for being my friend. Iโm not trying to be a prick to you, Iโm just so fucking confused.โ
Peterโs defenses dropped, and he fell back into his compassionate spirit, clasping his hands in front of his belt. The seconds passing between you seemed like hours, the two of you breathing in each otherโs sullen exhales. Peter brought a hand up to your face, his thumb gently grazing your cheekbone, wiping away a tear as his fingers tucked beneath your ear.
โDonโt be confused about me, okay? Iโll never tell you anything short of the entire truth.โ
Peterโs sincere tone rang in your head and dragged a lump back into your throat. Tears pooled along your bottom lash line, ready to spill over with melancholy relief. You couldnโt resist any longer, you had to hold him. You stretched your arms out and wrapped them around his white linen uniform at his narrowest point, your head resting comfortably on his chest. His sinewy arms blanketed your frame, pulling you in so close that you could smell the detergent in his shirt. You took a shaky breath, attempting to capture this moment so that you could always return to it at your leisure.
โThank you, Peter,โ you praised. He stroked the back of your head, softly pulling strands of your hair down to your shoulders.ย
