❝ what happened to you? come inside. come inside. ❞ (To Kim from Stranger on the Balcony)
Tumblr media
It had been a long time since his head pounded the way it did tonight.
When he was younger, this kind of pain had been the consequences of stupid actions he could predict, account for, undermine. Controllable, in a way. A way he had learned over time to minimize where possible as he'd gotten older, the years perhaps not making him wiser, but his priorities changing. Causes rattle like a snake's tail in the back of his mind ( insomnia, substance abuse, stress, injury ━ )
Bruises littered the Lieutenants face in a twisted painting, sore like a battered dog as he waited patiently at the Smokers door. ━ It felt like the freeze of the plummeting snow of evening made it worse, frost reaching up from the base of his shaved neck into his brain-stem, crystals icing the grey-matter as it burned at the bruises & faint streaks of fractured blood-vessels littering his cheek ; a lightning strike in a torpefied spring. ━ his hands drew behind him, almost absentminded, twitching. he realizes, a moment after, that he lacks his gloves. ( left at the Whirling, he recalls, he'd needed dexterity for tending to the wounds Harrier had sustained where leather could not permit ) ━━ too slow, too late.
Tumblr media
━ Kitsuragi is certain, instantly, that he must look much worse than he is alone in the infant light of the apartment cascading upon him. He takes a breath & mouth gapes with a series of about-to-be-said sentences, but to his surprise finds himself being ushered inside before the words form. perhaps even more surprising; he obliges, almost without hesitance, the sound of his boots on the stone flooring as he enters is clear cut in the muffled feeling of the world at large, a consequence of wretched senses. maybe it was familiarity, even in a place like Martinaise, of the unspoken protocol that stretched its nerves throughout cities from spaces he thinks both men are familiar with ━ the Smoker, someone new but versed. Kim, a history teeming.
How it wasn't protocol at all, wasn't obligation, but the same heart across a community that understands what to do when one of your own turns up wounded, or shaken, or afraid; accustomed with living looking out for each-other as well as oneself, it inspires a trust that works its way into your bone marrow. the knowledge that if you go to the right people, they will take you in, and that even briefly, you will be safe. a brotherhood, a sisterhood, a something else lit in the underglow of pretty colors & community & language built to harbor them, harbor each-other.
Maybe it was that that inspired such blind faith in him, blind trust. He scolds himself that could get him killed one day. ( the night prior? it had saved his life. )
" Khm. I can assure you, sir, it isn't as bad as it looks. " dark eyes flick across the Smoker, then, the rest of his apartment as he briefly refamiliarizes himself with the foreign space, lingering near the door like a nervous animal waiting for the cue to leave if he needs to ; only out of the way enough to close it behind him. body tense, almost uncomfortable, but maybe that was only to suppress the subtle tremor in his hands, up his wrists, as they were locked behind his back. ━ Hiding, in a way. " Just some bruising, and a concussion. Nothing severe. "
he catches a clock and Kim wonders, briefly, if he should've come earlier ( 21:03 ; 9:03pm ), but dismisses it. As far as he knows, this was the most likely time for the Smoker to be here, too late now. Kim murmurs something about having a few questions as the stabbing pain of the migraine flares in the side of his skull, something he forgets as soon as he says it. ━ Ah. Whatever. He can still work with this...

🌼🐌 answered asks ! // unprompted. ( always accepting ! )
@xamassed​ sent: "Ari! Ari, look what I found while I was out today!" He crouched down to make himself eye-level with her, making it all the easier for her to see the unbridled burst of joy in his gaze. "Here!"
In his hand sat a small rock curled into the shape of a snail shell. The shape alone was strange, but the coloration was equally as bizarre. Rather than being consistently grey, the color was split cleanly through the middle — one side grey, the other nearing white. "Isn't it pretty? I wanted to give it to you the second I found it." ( bennett )
VERY FEW THINGS WERE IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO take her attention away from the lovely experience of coloring, and the surprise of Bennett's sudden company was one of them. Slowly did her eyes rise from the page, meeting with a set of eyes that matched the color of hers. The sight of him alone was enough to bring a cheerful smile immediately to Ari's lips. How exciting! Ari didn't expect to see Bennett today! 
" hi, b — b … Be … Benny! " the child greeted brightly, setting her crayons down beside the page so he could have her full attention. " it's vvv … very nice to see Benny! ve … very, very nice! " 
What was even more surprising than his unexpected arrival, however, was how he came bearing a gift — a gift for ARI. Often the child left the clovers she found mixed in Mondstadt's soft meadows with Katheryn, a trusted source who promised to deliver these pieces of luck to Bennett when she saw him next. It was unfortunate how seldom Ari got the chance to see him, though, being that he was a busy adventurer who was off doing busy adventurer things, but despite how deeply Ari missed her dear friend, she understood his reasons. He had important things to do! 
And days like this eventually came around again, where she could see his kind smile and hear his friendly voice. It made up for all those moments she spent wondering where he was, if he was okay, and hoping that he would be back soon.
Now, though, it was Bennett's chance to give, and his gift was lovelier than a million gathered clovers. It took all she had to not leap forward and wrap him in the tightest of all hugs. Instead, Ari remained patient. The little girl leaned forward, eyes focused on the stone and how odd it looked. Ari had never seen such a rock before! A two - toned stone, shaped like the shells on her favorite critters … was it a rare sort of treasure? She wasn’t sure about its commonness, but she is most certain that this rock is a TREASURE! She couldn’t wait to show Anita! 
" fff … for me? " Ari asked with a hint of disbelief traced in her tone. She pointed a finger to her chest and tilted her head. " Be … Benny wants to give me his prrr … prrr— his pretty rock, please … ? his snnn ... snail - y rock? " 
The hand that helped the finger rest on her chest came together with her other, creating a cup that she extended out. Gentle hands, caring hands, for both were necessary when it came to accepting such a heartfelt gift. She couldn't help but to smile, her legs swinging rapidly beneath the table, causing her frame to bounce lightly where she sat. 
" I love Benny's sna ... snail - y rock! I love it vvv … ve … veeeery much! " 
Tumblr media
" — I’ll keep B — Benny's nice rock safe, please! I can! I prrr … promise I won't lose it. " 
When she had finally accepted the precious stone into her own hands, she held it against her chest and leaned forward, resting her chubby cheek on Bennett’s scarred shoulder. " th — thank you vvv … ve … ve— thank you very much. "

Lock & Key
Tumblr media
Genre: Best Friends to Lovers, Fluff, Angst
Pairing: Jungkook/Reader
Warnings: cursing, dirty jokes
Synopsis: When Jungkook ditches you on your birthday, your friendship looks like it’s about to crumble. Your friend group becomes tired of your bickering and decides to take the matter into their own hands. Somehow, you and Jungkook find yourselves handcuffed together.
"Have you guys found a present for Y/N yet?" Jin asked, picking up his third pizza slice and taking a large bite, the cheese stretching as he pulled it away from his lips.
"You haven't gotten it yet? Her birthday dinner is tomorrow," Taehyung said. His eyes were tired, but he'd still insisted on joining the party despite having just gotten off a long train ride, as he hadn't seen his friends from high school for months. "I got her the first two manga in that series she's been wanting to read."
"Mmm," Jin said, seeming to consider Taehyung's choice of gift. "I need mine to be really special. He finished his pizza to the crust and turned it 180 degrees and bit into the end. "Jungkook, you're closest to Y/N. What are you getting her?"
Jungkook turned, wide-eyed towards Jin. The younger's face was already a bit flushed from the beers and from the mention of your name. "I'm paying for her part of the meal tomorrow and I got her tickets to that musical that's only in town for one night."
"Woah, that's gonna be hard to beat," Jimin said, "Y/N hasn't stopped talking about that musical since they announced it. Remember how she went crazy over it in the group chat?"
"I'm sure Y/N will like whatever you get her," Jungkook said. "She isn't very picky and she'll appreciate it because it came from you."
"I know. I just have something special planned and I want it to be perfect." The six other guys looked to the eldest expectantly. Jin sighed. "Gosh, fine, I'll tell you. I plan on confessing to her tomorrow."
"What? You like Y/N?! Since when?"
"Woah, congrats man!"
"You'll make such a cute couple."
The group fell to chaos, but Jungkook was notably the least excited. At the mention of Jin's plans, he sunk back against the wall and took a large bite of his pizza, followed by a gulp of beer.
"I'm not sure when I started liking her," Jin said. "I just kind of realized that I do. I figured we are friends and I'll regret it if I don't give it a shot."
"Are you sure her birthday is the best time to confess?" Jungkook asked, finally piping up. "What if things don't go well and you ruin it? Are you going to do it in front of everyone?"
"I thought about it and I'm going to wait until after the meal. Maybe I'll be able to steal her away for a few moments after she opens our gifts."
Jungkook's nose wrinkled and he was obviously unsatisfied with the answer. Yet, he dropped it and reached for another slice of pizza. "Why does it matter to you Jungkook? It's not like we all still won't hang out or that you'll never see her."
"Y/N's been hurt before. I'm sure you remember how upset she was after Minsung. I had to sleep in her bed for two weeks because she'd wake up crying. I never want her to feel that hurt again."
"Jungkook, I won't hurt her. She's more likely to hurt me. Why do you care so much about her heart being broken anyway? You're not the one who broke it and you aren't responsible for fixing it. Y/N's a big girl, she can handle herself."
Jungkook pouted. "I have to pee," he said, standing up and leaving the room, carrying his pizza slice with him.
vVv
An array of appetizers were spread across the table, a few bites taken from each. You were just waiting on the last three to show up: Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook. You expected them to come together as they had been nearly inseparable in high school. As Jin finished off one of the appetizers, you spotted Jimin and Taehyung walking in. You got up and rushed towards them.
"Happy birthday!" Jimin and Taehyung said, nearly tripping each other as they ran to hug you. "It's been too long, Y/N!" The two boys had moved out of the city for college and you rarely got to see them. You didn't know what you do if Jungkook--your best friend--had gone with them.
"I'm so glad you guys could make it! Come on and sit down, we're just waiting on Jungkook."
The appetizers were gone and the missing chair at the table remained. Worry grew in your throat and you glanced down at your phone for the umpteenth time to see if he had texted you. Even, just a simple "Running late!" or "Stuck in traffic!" would calm your nerves.
"Have you guys heard from Jungkook at all?"
The other guys all shook their heads and gave you sympathetic looks. You'd put off ordering, but it'd been nearly an hour since most of you arrived and you didn't want to keep the staff waiting any longer. "All right, let's order."
"I'm sure he just got stuck in traffic or something, Y/n," Jin said, reaching out and tapping your hand.
Tumblr media
Your heart dropped as you read his last reply. You felt tears stinging your eyes, but you pushed them back before the other guys could notice.
"He's not coming," you said.
"What?" you heard someone ask, but you were too focused on not allowing your spiraling thoughts ruin your birthday and holding back tears to register who it was.
"He said he got a date or something. I don't know, but come on, we can enjoy this without him."
Due to the solemn looks on their faces, you knew they saw right through your facade. You and Jungkook had been best friends since elementary school where he accidentally trampled you when he was racing his friends. Despite ending up with a badly skinned knee and a couple of bruises, you were fine, but Jungkook had insisted on taking you to the nurse's office anyway. He pretended to sprain his ankle just so he could sit and keep you company.
What had happened since then? You'd never felt like your friendship was dwindling when it came to Jungkook. Whenever either of you dated, it didn't make a difference. High school graduation didn't separate you. Not even when Jungkook forced you to a haunted house in high school and laughed when he saw the stain on your jeans and realized you'd peed your pants in fright.
Despite ignoring for Overwatch or coming to your apartment just for the free food, he always ended up doing small things to make up for it. You often found chocolate bars stashed in the odd drawer or cupboard to make up for all the food he steals. After he finished laughing, Jungkook allowed you to wear his sweatshirt to cover it and bought you new jeans. You still had that sweatshirt stashed in your closet somewhere.
vVv
The tears stopped by the end of dinner, but now anger ran down your spine. How dare he skip your birthday for someone he just met? He'd never done anything like this before, he was the one person in this world that you could depend on, and now he's not. You feel a pang of sadness in your stomach and reach out for your portion of the bill, which Jungkook had promised to pay for.
"Stop," Jin said, reaching for the bill you'd just barely wrapped your fingertips around. "You're not paying. We'll split yours." You nodded, powerless to the eldest's tone.
After the bill was paid, everyone got up and starting readying to leave. You had taken a taxi, expecting Jungkook to take you home afterward. Jin seemed to notice, his brown eyes melting when they met yours.
"Hey, come on, I'll walk you home."
You nodded and waved goodbye to the other guys as you all walked in opposite directions or climbed into taxis. You didn't catch the other guys thumbs upping Jin and giving him reassuring smiles.
"Thanks for coming," you said. "Even though it kinda got ruined."
"I'll always come, Y/N."
"Oh, when I get a hold of his bunny ass--"
"Go easy on him, Y/N. I'm sure he has a better reason than he told you."
"He better be on his death bed then."
Jin let out a snort, which caused you to smile, but the smile soon faded and so did the fake happiness the anger made you feel. Now you just felt hopeless and felt the tears stinging in your sinuses again.
"Do," you said, already your voice faltering. "you think I'm still enough?"
Jin stopped. "What do you mean?"
"Am I still enough for him? Maybe he found a better friend," you said, your gaze painting the sidewalk. "I mean, I always rely on him. He's always my shoulder to cry on. Maybe he finally got tired of it. Got tired of me."
Jin placed a hand on your shoulder. It felt odd, as Jin wasn't one for skinship, but his touch was comforting, even if you were imagining it was Jungkook's. Except you couldn't, Jungkook's touch was old, familiar, warm. Like the fireplace at your grandparent's house or when your car is completely heated on a snowy day. Jin's--sure, it was warm--but it wasn't Jungkook.
"No, no, of course not," Jin said, moving to hug you, your cheek hitting his chest. "That could never happen. You and Jungkook have been friends for years. If he was gonna get tired of you, he would've already."
You scoffed, half in laughter and half in fear. "Thanks."
"Okay, but seriously, Jungkook cares about you. A lot." Jin paused and sighed. You looked up, noticing his eyes weren't on you, but rather he was looking up. His eyes looked glazed, but you didn't remember him having any drinks. "He wouldn't allow himself to lose you, Y/N. Trust me."
The rest of the walk was filled with a comfortable silence. It was only a few more blocks from where you'd stopped, so you reached your apartment in just a few minutes.
"Thanks for walking with me," you said. "Sorry, I got kinda sad halfway through."
Jin shook his head and reached to move a piece of your ponytail that had escaped from the hairband and fallen roguishly over your head.
"You don't need to apologize for your feelings, Y/N. Just promise me you won't kill the kid. I'm sure this is all just a misunderstanding."
You nodded, although you weren't convinced that Jungkook didn't now hate you for reasons you didn't know.
"Thanks," you said. "For everything."
Jin nodded. "You're welcome." He turned and walked into the night and you turned your back before he disappeared.

"How did the confession go?" Jimin asked, as soon as Jin walked into the small apartment he shared with Yoongi, which was now cramped with six bodies.
"It didn't."
Jimin and the other faces in the room all contorted in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"I didn't confess."
"But, why? Wasn't that your plan? Don't you like her?"
"She loves someone else," Jin said, his voice deeper than usual, his heartbreak captured in the back of his throat. "And, someone else loves her."
vVv
Two Days Later
You hadn't heard anything from Jungkook since the night of your birthday and you weren't sure what hurt more--the fact that he didn't care enough to explain himself or that he had seemingly replaced you. His Instagram was full of stories and posts of him with the girl you assumed was the one he skipped your birthday for. She was beautiful with large dark eyes and curly hair. His arm was around her shoulders and then eventually her waist. He must really like her because you remember how it took Jungkook nearly two years just to feel comfortable placing an arm around you.
You huffed and threw your phone onto your bed as you ran your hands through your hair. You were still mad, but you didn't want to lose your best friend. You remembered Taehyung mentioning how all the guys were getting together for Overwatch.
You hardly thought as you headed towards Jin's and Yoongi's apartment--the largest of the apartments belonging to those in your friend group.
You didn't bother knocking as you entered the apartment. You found the seven guys all crowded onto two couches and watching Taehyung and Jungkook. They didn't notice you until you slipped in and placed your hand  on Jimin's shoulder—who jumped at your touch.
"Y/N!"
All seven heads turned to look at you. Most breaking into smiles and friendly greetings and offering you snacks.
"What are you doing here?" Jungkook asked, his voice breaking through the revelry. He was normally so soft-spoken, but at this moment, his voice grated through the air.
"I was hoping we could talk."
"You weren't invited here."
Your stomach turned. He'd never spoken to you like this, ever. Jungkook was normally the happiest when you showed up unannounced.
"Since when do I need an invitation, Jungkook? This is Jin and Yoongi's place, not yours."
Jungkook didn't respond but instead unpaused the game. Taehyung barely had time to close his mouth from watching the two of you that he fumbled with the controller as he realized Jungkook had restarted the game.
"Oh, so you're just gonna ignore me then?"
You rolled your eyes at how typical this was of all your ex-boyfriends. Towards the end of the relationship, they always ignored you for something else. Sometimes it was someone else, others it was their job. And yet, others, it was video games.
Jungkook had been there with you for all of these failed relationships. He said you deserved someone better, someone, who would never leave you or ignore you. You thought he was the only constant in your life, the one person who would never leave you, but now, he was just like all the rest.
Tears stung your sinuses. You dug your feet into the carpet and grabbed onto the back of the couch, trying to focus on the game. The guys had gone back to talking amongst themselves, eating, and watching the game. Yet, the air felt different, you caught concerned glances flicking your way and Jin silently offered you a slice of pizza which you declined, only eliciting another puppy-eyed look from the eldest of the group.
Jungkook was close to winning and the tears were soon beginning to simmer and your hands balled into fists. Before you could think or stop yourself, you marched around the couch and reached for the cord that was connected to the Xbox. The screen went black and all the eyes in the room shifted to you.
"Y/N?! What the fuck?!" Jungkook said, his voice rising. "I was about to win!"
"Jungkook, we need to talk and you're being an asshole."
Jungkook's ears were red and his eyes hard as steel. "This is ridiculous, Y/N. You came here uninvited to talk to me and when I go back to playing games because that's what I'm here for, you unplugged the system and demand I talk to you. And, I'm the asshole?"
You wanted to scream and pull your hair out. Yet, the thing you wanted most was to cry into Jungkook's oversized, black T-shirt because you knew it smelled of his cologne.
"Jungkook, you skipped my birthday party and you said we could talk about it, but it's been two days and I just want my best friend back."
"Y/N, why can't you just take the hint you're not wanted? This was supposed to be a guy's night and now you've had to come in here and ruin everything. You're way too clingy, like, this is why they always leave you."
"Jungkook!" Jin said.
You barely registered as the other boys chastised Jungkook as your vision blurred from the tears. You swore you saw his face soften before your eyes were totally filled with tears, but you couldn't be sure.
"Y/N," Jin said. You felt his hand come to rest gently on your shoulder. "Come on, I'll take you home."
vVv
A few days later you found yourself standing outside of Jungkook's apartment. You knew Taehyung and Jimin were staying with him, so you secretly hoped one of them would open the door.
The hallway was silent and dimly lit. It felt like midnight despite being noon. You softly knocked on the door, the sound--while quiet--seemed to echo down the hallway. You weren't sure what you were going to do or say when he opened the door. You were only sure that you missed the way he used to show up at your place at midnight with ice cream sandwiches or the way he let you borrow his sweatshirts when you were cold or couldn't sleep.
Thirty seconds passed and you knocked again. Firmer this time, each knock ringing out in the empty hallway.
"Jungkookie," you said softly.
You heard footsteps on the other side of the door. They were faint, but you recognized them from when he slept over at your apartment when you were sick or going through a rough time.
You listened as the door unlocked and slowly opened. He only opened the door a crack, just enough to peak out, as if you were an unknown person knocking on his door. As if you didn't know the layout of his apartment or that he kept all his mess concentrated to the common areas and his bedroom immaculate.
"Y/N...what are you doing here?"
His voice was softer than the last time you spoke. You knew Jin had told Jungkook how much you cried as he took you home and how you didn't answer his texts all night.
"I just wanted to see you," you said. "We don't have to talk or anything. I just miss you."
Jungkook didn't say anything. His eyes scanning over you. Your hair was unwashed and pulled into a bun and you wore sweatpants and a T-shirt. Dark circles outlined your eyes and even though it had only been a few days, your face looked thinner and your skin languid.
Another set of footsteps approached and the door swung open wider. Taehyung stood there in just his boxers and munching on a piece of toast. His eyes widened when he saw you and he glanced over at Jungkook, who's eyes were looking down at your feet.
"Hey, stop being a dick and let her in."
"Put on some clothes then," Jungkook said, his voice quiet and low, almost a growl. He swung the door all the way open and disappeared into his apartment.
Taehyung met your eyes and shrugged. He offered a small smile as you walked into the apartment. You hadn't brought anything with you, not sure exactly what would happen.
"I won't stay long," you said. "I just wanted to see him."
"At least have breakfast with me," he said, dropping two pieces of bread into the toaster.
You nodded and fell onto the couch. You'd done this countless times. At 4 in the morning after a night out, you'd collapse on Jungkook's couch still in your heels and your makeup slowly wearing off. You usually woke up the next morning in Jungkook's bed, your heels set by the door and your makeup at least mostly wiped off. At 6 pm as you leaned against Jungkook's shoulder as the movie started, your hand diving into the popcorn bowl in his lap. Most of your favorite memories happened on his couch.
"I hope you like Nutella," Tae said, handing you a piece of toast.
You laughed. "I love it," you said. "How do you stay so fit eating like this?"
Taehyung was still in his boxers. While he didn't have a six pack, he certainly wasn't hard to look at and the slight toning of his stomach showed he was putting in some effort.
"I'll gain five pounds just from eating this," you said, and despite your words, you took a large bite.
"Then you should have another," Jungkook said from the other side of the room. You hadn't noticed him there, he must've slipped in when Taehyung distracted you with the toast. "You're getting too skinny."
"I didn't ask you, Jungkook," you said. You crossed your arms over your chest and sat back, your toast abandoned on the arm of the couch.
"I'm just worried about you."
"Since when? When you stopped texting me? Or, when you ditched my birthday party for someone you just met?"
Jungkook's eyes turned soft in the way that would usually make you melt. But, you kept your eyes off of his and your spine straight.
"Y/N..."
"Listen, Jungkook, I might've come here cause I missed you, but that doesn't mean I've forgiven you."
Jungkook didn't say anything. Silence filled the apartment and after what felt like an eternity, he left to his bedroom.
"Are you okay?" Taehyung asked.
You nodded. "I think I just need a nap or something. I'm getting a headache." You looked around the apartment. There was only one bedroom and both Taehyung and Jimin were staying with Jungkook during their visit. "Where are you sleeping?"
Taehyung nodded and gestured toward the couch. "There," he said.
"Oh," you said. "Can I borrow it for an hour or so?"
"Be my guest. But, you know, even though you two are fighting and all, I bet Jungkook would let you have the bed."
You shook your head. "No," you said. "I'm not asking him for any favors and the couch looks more comfortable anyway."
Taehyung shrugged. You laid down and turned your back to him, missing the knowing smile as he cleaned up. You listened as he cleaned up and got dressed before leaving the apartment. It wasn't long before the tears came and you sobbed into the couch cushion as quietly as you could. The last thing you wanted was for Jungkook to emerge from his bedroom and find you like this.
He'd seen you cry dozens of times and you'd even held him as he sobbed into you. You didn't mind crying in front of him, but you knew it would destroy him to see you like this and to know he was the cause. Even if you mad at him, even if you were losing him, you didn't want to crush him.
You didn't remember falling asleep, but when you awoke, his scent was everywhere. You pressed your face into the pillow and stretched out your legs comfortably. You sighed until a thought crossed your mind. Pillow?
You opened your eyes and found yourself in Jungkook's bedroom. It was dark and the covers were pulled up to your chin. Jungkook wasn't in the room and from the empty feeling in the air, he wasn't in the apartment either. Your phone was next to you on the nightstand and plugged into Jungkook's charger.
You glanced at the time and realized your nap had lasted three times longer than you anticipated and you sat in bed as you realized that you probably needed to go home. However, before you could pull your eyes away from your lock screen, a text notification from a couple of hours ago caught your attention.
Tumblr media
vVv
"Hey, sorry, I'm late," Taehyung said, walking into Jin and Yoongi's apartment where the other five boys were already crowded on the twin couches. "Y/N showed up at Jungkook's and I needed to see what happened."
The others all looked at Taehyung expectantly. "Jungkook doesn't know about this, right?"
"We didn't tell him."
Taehyung nodded. "Well, they're definitely in love with each other. Jungkook was jealous as hell and Y/N's heartbroken. I could practically see Jungkook splitting in half when he realized how upset she was."
"Well, didn't you all notice how when she started crying after he got mad at her for unplugging the Xbox, how he just broke? I don't think he cared about the game anymore, but then Jin swooped in and stopped it before he could apologize."
All eyes swiped towards Jin and he shrugged. "What? She was to the point of crying. I didn't know what he was going to do and I didn't want to upset either of them more."
"Does he know that you never confessed?"
Jin shook his head. "He never asked."
"Jin!" all the guys said at one.
"That would change everything! He probably thinks you and Y/N are together."
"It's pretty obvious we're not."
"I don't know the way you intervened during the fight and walked her home. It could be seen as you protecting her."
"Well, whatever, what's the plan? We have to get them to make up somehow. And confess, cause they're gonna drive us crazy pining after each other." Jin looked around at the other faces and all of them were, in turn, watching him.
"Well, we need to force them to be alone somehow," Namjoon said. "We could try locking them somewhere, but that's gonna be difficult cause the party is here and none of the doors lock." Eyes wandered as they tried to find a solution and eventually, Jin's eyes fell on the TV where a cartoon cop was catching a criminal, the handcuffs snapping down on the culprit's wrists.
"I think I might have an idea."
vVv
Taehyung and Jimin were taking the train back to their college town in the morning, so that meant you'd all spend the night before getting drunk and gorging yourselves on all the pizza you could.
Jin and Yoongi offered to host the party and a few of their neighbors offered up their apartments so everyone could spread out. You all invited your extended friends and neighbors if everyone came, you didn't doubt the party would probably get out of hand, but that was half the fun.
As you brushed on your blush and primped your hair for the final time, you felt butterflies in your stomach. Jungkook was going to be there. There was no way he would miss out on a good party and the opportunity for free food and drinks.
You wore a short white dress that was admittedly a little shorter than you would normally wear. But, with Jungkook ignoring you, you wanted attention and you didn't really care who it was from. Plus, you liked the way it hugged your curves and how when paired with the perfect heels, made your legs look longer.
You arrived a few minutes early to the party with the expectation of helping set up, but the party was already in full swing. When the elevator opened, people crowded the hall with cups in hand and music blasting from Jin and Yoongi's apartment. At this rate, the cops would be called in a couple hours, unless Jin and Yoongi had talked to all their neighbors beforehand, but you highly doubted it.
You waded through the bodies and found your friends all invested in a game of beer pong. The younger three on one end and the older four on the other. The older ones were currently winning and you smirked as you remembered just how good Yoongi was at the game.
"Need help?" you asked, placing your arm around Taehyung's shoulders, the heels allowing you to do so easier, although it still looked slightly awkward.
"Ah, finally! Someone who can rival Yoongi!"
You laughed, trying not to allow your eyes to wander over to Jungkook who was standing closer to you than he had for weeks. "Who's turn is it?"
"Yours if you want."
You nodded and walked up to the table. You angled your arm and aimed for one of the back cups, even if you missed, it may still land in one of the front cups that remained. You tossed the ping pong ball and it sailed perfectly into the cup.
"Yes! Drink up, Min Yoongi!"
Yoongi smirked and took the cup and downed it. You two had played this game countless time, both won and lost countless times, to the point that it was no longer about winning, but rather, who could get the other drunk quicker.
Yoongi aimed his shot and tossed it flawlessly into the cup right in front of you. You took out the ball and downed the cup. The beer was pretty much tasteless which meant it went down easily but left a bad taste in the back of your throat.
After a few shots back and forth, you had drunk twice more and Yoongi once. You were aiming up another shot, intending to tie it up when you felt a hand on your shoulder. You looked behind you and caught Jungkook's eyes.
"Are you gonna let us play?"
"Do you want to win or not?" you said, turning back and aiming up your shot. You were already a little tipsy and your head ached as you concentrated.
"Y/N, it'll be no fun to get drunk so early," he said. "Come on." His voice was soft and familiar. He'd done this dozens of times. Prevented you from getting too drunk or going home with the wrong guy. He brought you back when the alcohol began to take over. This time--however--you turned away and aimed the ball. Missing.
Yoongi tosses the ball in what appears to be a haphazard fashion, but it sinks straight into a cup. You pick it up and bring it to your lips, but before you can drink, the cup is being knocked from your hands and the beer spills almost entirely onto your dress.
You see Jungkook staring at you wide-eyed--the obvious culprit--his hand still gripping the cup.
"Jungkook!" you yelled, people turned in your direction, but your yell was soon forgotten as the music continued. All but your small group turned back to their own conversations. "Would you stop trying to be my friend? You made it quite obvious you no longer wanted our friendship and you just keep screwing everything up!"
"Y/N, I..."
Tears were beginning to fill your eyes and the only thing you wanted to do was get drunk and forget this night happened. You stepped forward to push through the crowd when someone grabbed your wrist. You knew from the touch that it wasn't Jungkook and when you glanced back, Jin's lips were upturned in a small smile.
"Wait, Y/N," he said. "I'm really sorry about this."
You cocked your head in confusion, but before your lips could form words to ask Jin what he was apologizing for you felt something click onto your wrist and found a handcuff locked around your wrist and you noticed the other was locked to another wrist. You followed the chain and met Jungkook's dark, confused eyes.
"Have fun, kids. We aren't unlocking you until you talk everything out."
vVv
Ten minutes later you stood in the kitchen as Jungkook tried to work a kitchen knife into the lock. The beer was slowly making your dress more and more see-through and you glanced around the room.
"Jungkook, can we try this somewhere else?"
He looked up at you with his brows furrowed in confusion. You hadn't managed to say anything before his eyes widened and he quickly shrugged off his flannel. It caught on his cuff and he struggled to get the sleeve over the handcuff and chain.
"Fuck it," he said, taking the knife and cutting into the seam where the sleeve met the shoulder.
"Jungkook isn't this a bit drastic? We can just go into the bathroom or something."
"No, it's okay. I can just cut off the other one later."
He brought around the uncut sleeve and brought over your shoulder and brought the cut sleeve over the chain and up your arm. The way the flannel hit it ended up covering your entire dress and draping across your bare thighs.
As soon as you were covered and comfortable again, he once again tried to unlock the handcuffs and your hand was at his mercy as he moved the knife point back and forth in the lock.
"Jungkook, this isn't going to work. You're just gonna end up hurting one of us."
Jungkook sat the knife back on the counter looked down dejectedly at your cuffed wrists. You couldn't help the pang of hurt in your stomach. Jin had handcuffed the two of you so you would talk and all Jungkook could focus was on how to get the handcuffs off without talking.
"Maybe we can break the chain," he said. "If we both pull, our combined strength might be enough."
Your wrist was already starting to become red and raw because Jin had accidentally snapped the cuff on a little tight, but before you could protest, Jungkook began pulling on the chain.
You immediately yelped in pain and your wrist attempted to escape the pain, causing your body to fold in on itself. You found yourself crouched and leaning against the counter, your arm almost straight above your head to remain close enough to Jungkook's so that it didn't dislocate the joint.
"Y/N?" Your name was barely audible over the music and the people around you many of which shot odd glances or coy smiles your way.
"It's tight, Jungkook. Jin accidentally locked it too tight. Can--can we just go talk and get these things off?"
Jungkook nodded, seeing your teary eyes from the pain and helping you to your feet. His free palm came to rest on your shoulder and his handcuffed hand grasped your wrist and he slipped two of his fingers between your skin and the cuff. It was the first time he'd touched you since before your birthday and you felt your knees go weak and something shifted in you with his touch. The plate tectonics of your heart shifting suddenly and with no warning.
"Let's go to the bathroom, first."
You were confused as he pulled you into the bathroom and situated you against the counter. He reached into the cupboard behind you and pulled out some lotion and squirted it onto his handcuffed hand. He rubbed it softly onto your wrist where the handcuff had rubbed the skin red and raw.
"Better?"
You nodded and looked up at his face which hovered not far above yours but was focused down on your wrist. His jaw was clenched and his features were stiff. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out the sleeve he'd cut from his flannel.
"I think if we roll this down we can put it between the cuff and your wrist. It might make it feel tight, but it won't hurt you so much."
He rolled the sleeve down under it was a single cuff which he carefully slipped over your hand and under the cuff. It did work, your skin feeling relieved from the lotion and the cloth, although it did still feel slightly too tight.
"Thanks," you said. "But, maybe we should get out of here. I don't want your girlfriend to get the wrong idea."
Jungkook met your eyes. "What? Girlfriend?"
"The girl you went on the date with?"
"Oh, it uh, didn't work out."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"Don't be."
There was a long pause as Jungkook continued to adjust the cuff to ensure it stayed. His eyes were focused on your wrist.
"I'm sorry," he said. "For saying you were clingy and bringing your exes into this. I'm sorry for everything."
You looked down at him, your free hand coming to play with the hairs that grew around his ears. His hair was longer than you'd ever seen it and you smiled as he seemed to lean into your hand.
Jungkook finished adjusting the cuff and looked up at you. "I think Yoongi's room is empty. He didn't want people in there, but I bet he won't mind if it's us."
You nodded and followed closely behind Jungkook as you walked through the crowd to Yoongi's bedroom. It--like Jungkook had said--was empty. The two of you flopped down on the bed and despite laying a foot apart your fingers continued to brush against each other as you adjusted your wrists in the cuffs.
"I can't figure out why Jin handcuffed us," Jungkook said. The music was just a series of thumps now and even though it was still loud, you could no longer make out the lyrics and could hear Jungkook's voice without him having to raise it. "I thought he wouldn't want us to hang out anymore."
"What?" you asked. "Why would Jin care if we hang out?"
Jungkook turned and looked at you. His hair was wet from sweat and his hair curled in thick tendrils over his forehead. "Aren't you and Jin dating?"
"What? No! Jin and I are just friends. What makes you think that?"
"Jin told me he was gonna confess to you at your party."
Jungkook pulled his gaze from you and focused up at the ceiling. You thought back on that night. Jin had been acting more generous and gentlemanly that night, but you just chalked it up to it being your birthday.
"I didn't even know he liked me. Is that why you've been avoiding me? You thought I was with Jin and you didn't want to interfere?"
"That's part of it."
"What's the other part of it?"
His eyes came back to yours and you felt his fingers brushing against yours. But, it wasn't just the millisecond brushes as he adjusted. No, his fingers were practically intertwined with yours.
"Y/N, we've been friends so long...I don't want to ruin it..."
"Jungkook, it's already ruined."
There was a long tense silence between the of you. His fingers fully intertwined with yours. It was far from the first time you'd held his hand, but it felt different. It was softer, yet more intense at the same time. As if your hand were porcelain that could break at even the slightest touch.
Jungkook moved so quickly that you have no idea how he came to hover above you. His free arm resting above his head and the one handcuffed to you still intertwined with yours to the side. "What would've happened if Jin had confessed to you?"
"Kookie?"
"What would've happened?"
"I-I would've turned him down."
"Why?"
"Cause I'm in love with someone else."
His lips were on your before you even finished the sentence. He was gentle but urgent as if he'd been waiting two thousand years to kiss you.
"I'm still mad at you for skipping my birthday party," you said when he pulled away. "I don't care if you're in love with me, your cute ass still has a lot of making up to do."
Jungkook smiled as he leaned down placed a small kiss on your neck. "Well, I never got to give you my gift."
He reached into his back pocket and pulled out two tickets. You grabbed them from his hands and you smiled as you realized it was for the musical you'd been dying to see.
"It's tomorrow," he said. "Pretty good first date, yeah?"
"Hey, don't get cocky yet!" It was hard for you to hide your smile and you didn't want to give him the satisfaction, so, you just leaned up and kissed him.
vVv
You woke up the next morning enveloped in Jungkook's arms and his one-armed flannel. You looked up to see him scrolled through his phone, but when you squirmed, he looked down at you.
"Good morning, baby," he said.
"That sounds so weird."
"What, baby?" He smirked and giggled as you reached up and playfully hit his shoulder.
"Wait," you said, looking at your unbound wrist. You looked down and found the handcuffs on the bed. "They must've uncuffed us last night."
"I hadn't even realized," he said. A blush appeared on his face. "I didn't want to let go of your hand."
"Aww," you said, reaching up and ruffling his hair. "You're such a softie."
Jungkook smirked and grabbed your wrists. "Hey, I'm not completely a softie."
He held your wrists and glanced down at the handcuffs. "Maybe, we should keep these."

Okay, get this: a new lov member who’s really awkward and shy. Everyone thinks she’s just a normal gal but it turns out she’s absolutely out of her mind? /sigh/ I don’t even know anymore 😔 rip. I’m so bad at requesting it should be my new party trick. Anyways, I hope you have a good day and I love your writing!!
Ahh thank you! :) I’m not sure if you wanted this to be cute or disturbing so I went with the latter because nothing I’ve posted so far is dark themed (all my stuff is like, fluff haha)! :0 Let’s get some well rounded writing up in here! 
New LOV member who’s secretly insane
Warnings: DARK THEMES that include but are not limited to: Blood, dead animals, disturbing images, cannibalism, death, hearing voices, sadism/masochism, violence, mentions of self-harm etc. etc. You get the picture. 
^^^Don’t read if you’re sensitive to similar topics. I went ham on this, yall. 
Disclaimer: The reader depicted in this is chronically insane and is an extreme case. This is in no way a depiction of a person with a mental disorder. I don’t want to spread any misinformation, most people with mental disorders are lovely people and are not crazy/dangerous in anyway
Under the cut vvv
Tomura Shigaraki:
Look, he wasn’t a fan of the whole awkward-shy act, but hey, you were pretty hot and you had a quirk that the League definitely needed
So he let you in, figuring he’d just need to have that timid attitude of yours whipped out of you
But OH. It didn’t take long for him to realize you were completely bonkers. 
Dabi was giving you shit like he did everyone, and all it took was a poor comment on his part for your usually pleasant expression to contort into one of malice and...joy? The way your face darkened and your eyes swirled with an unhinged gleam… 
Maybe you’d be more interesting than he initially thought~ plus, seeing you threaten Dabi was definitely some brownie points in Tomura’s book
At times it gets frustrating because you can get out of hand, and he honestly couldn’t even handle the League WITHOUT another crazy added in the mix
But you were powerful and an important addition to the team, so you were stuck with this sorry lot whether you liked it or not
Kurogiri:
He was a little surprised, but pleasantly so, when Tomura recruited you for the League. You were actually...rather normal compared to the rest of the bunch, but he was far from complaining!
You were also modest and well-mannered, and Kurogiri especially admired that. The rest of the League was full of squabbling hotheads, so you were a breath of fresh air!
At the bar, he’d talk a lot with you seeing as you were one of the calmer villains, but overtime he noticed that certain comments would raise a few red flags. 
One day you bring in the mangled body of a cat and...oh. 
The way you casually set it on the bar counter and grin at Kurogiri happily while you ask for a kiddy cocktail… all the while your hands were still soaked in its blood.
Tomura’s decision made a bit more sense now. You were completely off your rocker! He treats you pretty much the same as before, but is usually the one who has to reel you in when you start to show your crazy too much. 
Dabi:
When you first joined the League, he couldn’t believe it. Was Tomura fucking stupid? How could a shy, pretty thing like you possibly fit in with the baddest villain organization?
Needless to say, he was kind of an asshole to you. He’d make rude comments, blatantly say you didn’t belong here, condescendingly give you names like “princess” 
For the most part you would bear it all with a grin, and though he didn’t exactly understand you reaction, he would scoff and roll his eyes. “Weirdo”
One day he happens to strike a particularly strong chord with you, and suddenly you’ve shoved him against a wall, hands wrapped around his throat
You choking him wasn’t what off put him. It was the demented look in your eyes and the lopsided grin overwhelming your face. You were practically begging him to insult you again.
“It feels soooo good when you call me names!” you giggle, fingers squeezing into his neck. “Maybe you can choke me next?!” Your eyes were excited at the sadistic thought. 
He shoves you off rather easily after he gets over his initial surprise, rubbing his neck. “Crazy bitch…”
The fact that he didn’t ignite your crazy ass on the spot means you’d gained his respect, if in the slightest. Clearly you’re a better fit to be a villain than he thought. He still picks on you, but significantly less.
Himiko Toga:
She was excited to have another girl! She flocked straight to you and grabbed your sleeve right away!
“Aiiya! You’re so cute, look at you!” She poked your cheeks and you got a little flustered under the attention. She thinks you’re so shy and adorable!!!!
She makes it her mission to become your bestest best friend! But she can’t help but get a little excited from time to time.
“(Y/n), you’re too cute! Please, can I cut you up!? Just a few slices here and there! You’d look ten times cuter if I do!” And she’s grinning.
Her grin completely falters, however, when you agree. “W-What?” she didn’t expect it at all! She was used to getting brushed off.
But no...the crazed look in your eye at the mention of spilled blood… you were practically dripping with insanity. 
Kurogiri stopped the both of you before you both had the chance to completely slice each other up, but from that moment on your were pretty much conjoined at the hip.
Crazy cuties flock together
Spinner:
When a cute, shy thing like yourself joined the League, he was a total flustered mess! You were absolutely adorable!
Like Kurogiri, you were a breath of fresh air, a nice change of pace to the usually colorful bunch that he got to hang around with.
You were nice to him, and he always gets embarrassed when you compliment him! So naturally he assumes that you’re the sweetheart of the bunch! 
You’re talking, and finally Spinner outright asks you, “How’d you even get roped into villainy?” because it blows his mind such a normie like you are in the League
And, very casually and chipper, you describe how you murdered your family in cold blood. They hadn’t even done anything to upset you. You just wanted to. 
“O-Oh.” He honestly didn’t know what to say...but he didn’t really get a chance to speak as you suddenly pull a necklace out from under your shirt. It was a strange looking thing, a shriveled black lump on a string. 
“Look! I even carry a piece of them around with me!” His eyes widen, and you just giggle and tuck the petrified piece of corpse jewelry back into your shirt. 
Twice:
Needless to say, Twice had some mixed feelings about you when you first joined the League.
“What the hell is such a prude bitch doing in the League?” “Aww how cute! Finally a fresh face! Happy to meet you!” 
He’s honestly probably the first to realize you’re absolutely batshit because he’s always half doubting your sincerity
Let’s just say he isn’t surprised when you’re on a mission and you start gnawing and eating at a fresh corpse on the ground
“Wow, that’s fucking bad ass” “Ew!!! That’s disgusting, what the fuck!” 
And hearing his voices go back and forth, you just look up, blood smeared across your face, a strange gleam in your eye and you grin!
“Hahaha! Twice, you always say the funniest things!!!”
After the mission he tries to avoid you as much as he can. Though your quirk and tenacity was something the League definitely benefited from, that didn’t mean he wanted to be anywhere near you after the shit he saw that night
You were fucking wild
Mr. Compress
After Shigaraki let you into the League, he was pretty interested in you. You seemed pretty average and you acted like a timid civilian, so what kind of quirk did you have? Surely something must have caught Tomura’s eye that he wasn’t seeing.
So he, being the man of charisma and mystery that he was, made it his secret motive to find out what you were hiding. 
He took it upon himself to show you around the hideout as your own personal guide. Not that you were complaining! Compress is so flashy and entertaining that you were actually enjoying your time with him.
Not gonna lie, he was acting a little too charming and over-confident with you, trying to get you to slip up and spill a secret
And spill you did! Though not intentionally. It sort of all happened at once. Compress was moving ahead of you and all of a sudden he was thrown back against the wall.
He hits it with a grunt and slides down to the floor, looking up at you with a stunned expression. What the fuck did he do to merit that?!
But you weren’t even looking at him. No, you were whispering under your breath, staring at the ceiling and grinning like a madman. 
“You’re right! That was fun!” you spoke to the empty room, pausing a moment before letting out a loud, crazy laugh. “You always were good at jokes!” 
Slowly he rose and moved away from the room where you stood conversing with your imaginary voices. 
Telekinesis was a pretty powerful quirk! Though it seemed your perks also came with some hefty flaws… very interesting!
Magne: 
Magne was so excited to have another girl in the League! She loved Toga, of course, but at times Magne found her to be a bit...much 
So when you first arrived, seemingly normal, she was so ecstatic! She wanted to do all sorts of girl things with you that she couldn’t really do often in the boy-dominated League
You were so cute and timid, she couldn’t help but want to have a girl’s sleepover with you and Toga!
Your true colors started to show, however, during the middle of a truth or dare game. Magne had asked you what your favorite crime to commit was, expecting something calmer like robbery or identity theft 
Color her surprised when your face contorts into the craziest, most terrifying look as you narrate a violent murder and proceed to grab a pillow and rip it to shreds with your hands as a ‘demonstration’. 
Cute AND violently psycho. She can roll with that.

Snow Day Spent Shoveling Away. Part 1
Rating: T (some swears, kissing scenes, mostly fluff)
Pairing: Kristoff/Anna
Summary: Modern AU; Anna calls Kristoff in desperation, as she needs to shovel her apartment complex’s front and back steps, along with the sidewalks in the front of the building. It was a promise she made to her sister that the landlord needed help with the incoming storm, but she went away for the weekend for her job. Her being the procrastinator she is, its the last day she has to do it and the snow is piled up. Will they be able to do it in time?
Notes: If you saw my tumblr post (a while back-sorry about that) when I shoveled the snow on the first snow day in my state, it read that I had a fanfiction idea brewing in my head the whole time I was shoveling. This is my first real time that I’m writing Kristanna fanfiction, I’ve written little stuff in the past, but it never made it past my notebooks/laptop. So this is the real first published piece. I hope you enjoy! (also i really tried with the title, idk if I like it still but there you go lol.)
~~~
*Vvv* *Vvv*…*Vvv* *Vvv*
Kristoff’s phone would not stop going off. He would answer it in a heartbeat too, if he wasn’t in a deep nap.
Soon enough though, his phone kept buzzing to the point it didn’t stop, and that woke him up. Being confused as to where the noise was coming from, he rubbed his eyes and face to shake the sleep out of his body. He found his phone slowly moving on the coffee table next to the couch he was on, being annoyed, thinking it was work trying to call him in. But it wasn’t, he looked at who was texting him and who were the missed calls from. All 43 messages and 4 missed called, all were from Anna.
Now 44 messages.
“Krisssss!!!!!!! WHY AREN’T YOU ANSWERING?!?!?!?!”
He chuckled, what could he possibly be dragged into now?
He sat up and dialed her up and put the phone to his ear. “Hey Anna, what do yo-”
“WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, I NEED YOUR HELP BADLY IM GONNA DIE I’M IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!!-”
“Woah, woah, woah, relax...and what? What’s going on why are you in trouble?” Kristoff said with genuine concern, even though he knew Anna is probably just being overdramatic and she’ll be fine with his help.
“Oh my God, so basically this weekend Elsa told me that I needed to shovel the front and back stairs because our landlord is off on vacation for something this weekend, and Elsa would’ve helped too but she also has to go away too for her job or whatever, so she left just me in charge, but I completely forgot about it until right now and she gets back in the morning and she’s gonna KILL ME if she finds out I didn’t do anything this weekend!!!!” Anna rambled on.
Kristoff was still trying to process everything she said, you know, seeing how he just came out of a nap. He took his free hand and ran it through his hair, knowing what she was going to ask of him to do, but still curious how much a job it was going to be.
“So anyway….can you come over and help me shovel the front and back stairs?” Anna asked, but held back a little, thinking that he was going to say no and she’ll just have to suffer and do it herself.
He sighed a little, hopefully not too loud or too long for her to hear, and said “Yeah, give me 5-10 mins and I’ll be over.” He started to get up to put on his jacket and boots, when he heard a squeal through the phone and a resounding “THANK YOU SO MUCH KRISTOFF I LOVE Y-..SEE YOU SOON!!!” And she hung up. He smiled as he put the phone in his pocket and continued putting on his shoes.
His smile grew bigger as he realized that she started to say “I love you.” He was sure that it was just in a friendly way, because he was also sure that Anna didn’t feel the same way as he did. That thought made him go sour so he decided to stop thinking about it.
Oh well.. at least he still gets to spend time with her, right?
~~~
Kristoff drove to Anna’s apartment and took a space in the parking lot. Anna was patiently waiting in the hall inside the apartment to get started, and saw that he was pulling in and ran out the door to see him.
He got out of the truck and was instantly met with a leaping Anna, somehow managing to get through the snow that was up to her calf, jumping into him and hugging him and saying “Thank you so much again for doing this with me!” Anna let go of Kristoff, even though he barely had time to give back the hug. “I was literally going to breakdown and cry if I had to do this by myself.” Anna looked into Kristoff’s eye with grateful eyes.
“Well, you know me, always here to help.” He shrugged and then laughed, she joined the laugh, and quickly turned around to go back to the front hall and get the shovels, and he followed.
“So is it just these steps and the back?” Kristoff asked over the wind as it started to pick up.“Yeah, and maybe just a little bit of the sidewalk, so there can be a path for the people so they can get to the parking lot.” She said with a little uncertainty in her voice, still hoping Kristoff wouldn’t back out of it this early into it. But he still was going with it, like he said, he was there to help.
Anna went back into the hall and got the two heavy duty shovels “We’ll get different ones when we have to do the stairs, seeming how they’ll be smaller.” Anna turned to Kristoff and handed him a shovel. Kristoff looked at what they had to do and back to Anna. It was just flurrying out, and some snowflakes were gently placed on her hair, and scattered all across her hat. And you couldn’t tell from a quick glance, but since Kristoff was already looking, he could see the flakes that landed on her eyelashes and some on her cheeks, but some had melted, probably because of her warmth, Kristoff assumed.
Anna was gazing out at what they had to get done, and suddenly got a boost of confidence and said, “We can do this, it won’t be that long!” Anna jumped down the stairs. Kristoff was more worried if she was going to hurt herself with all this snow and possible black ice underneath.
“What area should I focus on?” Kristoff asked.
“Uh, from here to here,” she pointed to a section of the snow to the street, “That’s the sidewalk, and of course right here, so you know, you don’t have to jump from the stairs to the sidewalk. And a little pathway over there,” pointing to where they trudged through earlier, “So people can get  to the parking lot.” She finished with a worry look creeping up on her free. Kristoff knew to her it looked like it was more than she can chew.
“Hey, it’s gonna be fine. I’ll start the sidewalk, why don’t you do the stairs here.” Kristoff suggested as he went down the stairs.
“Oh the easier work, huh?” Anna pouted but still had a hint of a smirk, and came close to Kristoff, like she was trying to intimidate him.
“Well do you wanna be sore doing all the more tough work?” Kristoff smirked back.
“...No.” Anna scrunched up her face and went to the stairs.
They started their section and were pretty quiet as they were just trying to get all this work over with. Up until Anna came across a bump in the ...snow
“Ugh I hate it when this happens…” Anna kept at it trying to do it up. Kristoff looked over and admired the hard work she put into the stairs so far.
Anna started chipping away the block with her shovel until she decided to use her hands. Dropping the shovel, crouching, she began pawing at it like a dog. Kristoff chuckled and came over to help, dropping his shovel in the snow too.
“Here, try this…” Kristoff lined the block, dogging at the edges to separate it from the ground. Anna decided to let him have it. Almost thinking, ‘Less work for me though, right?’ And then she caught glimpse of Kristoff face. They’d been out there for sometime so his cheeks and nose were a rosy pink. Anna admired it, it looked like he was constantly blushing, and she thought it was cute. She didn’t realize she was staring for so long until finally got the block separated from the stair.
“Ah, there we go.” Kristoff gasped, then lifted the snow block. It was as big as Kristoff’s chest.
“Well no wonder I couldn’t get it, it’s as big as you!” Anna exclaimed. Kristoff rolled his eyes, “Thanks.” then laughed and tossed the block to the pile that both him and Anna started.
“I mean that in a good way. Why do you think I asked for your help? You’re the strongest man I know. And look.. You’ve got most of it done! I say that’s a job well done. “ Anna rambled on, probably saying more than needed.
“...Thanks Anna.” Anna couldn’t tell if he was actually blushing now, but it definitely put a smile on his face. He retrieved his shovel and went back to it.
Anna smiled too, but then realized that she made it sound like she was using him...she hoped he actually got the compliment she was trying to give. She turned to see him work, bit her lip, but turned to get back to the stairs.
Another while passed and both of them were at a point where they couldn’t stop sniffing from the sold and they were fatigued so much they were breathing heavily.
For her, Anna took one big sniff and breath and got the last piece off the stairs to the other big pile.
“Agh, yes I finished the steps!” Anna didn’t have the energy to jump around and be happy, she was breathing heavily, but very relieved. Kristoff was looking at her and did have a smile, but it was an exhausted one from the work he had done. He got the sidewalk to be visible but he had barely started on the pile in front of the stairs.
“Oh right, well let’s get this part, I guess.” the excitement dying in her voice. But then she looked to Kristoff where he was stretching his lower back, and then his shoulder.
“Are you okay?” Anna asked with concern in her voice and face.
“Hm? Oh yeah, it just gets a little tiring after a while.” He was still stretching his shoulder.
“Yeah, I’m starting to feel it too.” Anna stretched her back and the sound of cracking went all down her back. “Damn…And my hands are like, stiff from the shovel.” She stretched out her fingers too.
Kristoff sympathized and then really looked at Anna. She was pretty bundled up, but he could tell she was starting to freeze. He was thinking about just taking a rest, but he knew Anna would flip and say they have to get it done before the night is over. It was already starting to get dark out, and they still had the back stairs to do. They were both starting to get a little worried.
Then all of a sudden, an idea he wish he thought of earlier, came to him.
“Oh my God,” He started to laugh at himself as he was patting his jacket for his phone.
“What?” Anna asked.
He found his phone and headed to the hall in the building, and found the person he needed and called them. Anna was confused as ever, but a hint of worry as she hoped nothing bad was happening and he had to leave her to the rest.
“Hello?” A voice came through the phone.
“Hey, Sven!” Kristoff happily replied. “Hey, are you still at work?”
“About to clock out, what’s up?” Sven asked.
“Well, I’m here with Anna helping shovel her apartment building and stairs and such. I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind coming by with one of your plow trucks and help us out?” Anna’s face changed to pure happiness as she realized he was getting help.
“Yeah! That’s no problem at all! I have to take one home anyway to do my own driveway.” Sven replied an Kristoff was relieved he could help.
“Oh man, thank you so much, I owe you one!” Kristoff said.
“Awe, no you don’t… or maybe, I haven’t decided yet.” Sven laughed. “Just give me the address and I’ll be there 5-10 minutes.”
Kristoff was giving the address as Anna was bouncing next to him, being so happy that he did this.
“Alright I’ll be there soon, bye!” Sven said and hung up, and Kristoff put the phone away from his ear but immediately got attacked by Anna’s hug.
She jumped and hugged him and wrapped her legs around his waist and tightly squeezed. “Thank you Kristoff Bjorgman! I am in you debt!” She basically screamed into his ear. Kristoff returned the hug, mostly just to keep her from falling, but he was blessed with this hug, he felt like.
God only knows how long they hugged for. After a minute or two it wasn’t in excitement of getting help, it was just them wanting to hold each other. They soon realized it could get awkward any minute so they let go of each other, Kristoff putting Anna to the floor, but both of their hands still on each other. Anna’s on his shoulders, still sliding slowly to his chest, Kristoff’s on Anna’s waist. They looked at each other, both smiling and both looking deep into each other’s eyes.
‘Is this really happening?’ Kristoff and Anna thought, probably at the same time.
Anna cleared her throat as another thought entered her mind, deterring them from anymore thoughts of Kristoff.
Kristoff was concerned about why she looked away so fast, but it was probably for the best that they stopped what they were doing.
“Uh, how long do you expect until Sven gets here?” Anna asked, refocused on the task both of them were there for.
“Uh, let’s see…” He checked his phone and saw the call time was about 3 minutes ago. “It’s only been 3 minutes, he said about 5-10, so probably not that much longer.” He said
“Hm, well we still have to do the backstairs, but these shovels are too big for them, there’s more shovels in the basement. I’ll be right back.” She went to the door that leads to the basement.
Kristoff looked out the window to see if Sven would arrive soon. But he got lost in his own thoughts about how Anna’s mood totally shifted, like something in her head just switched. But that would’ve been a perfect moment for him to kiss her. God how he wanted to kiss her. They were practically close enough that a swift movement would close the space and seal the deal. But it didn’t happen. Would it ever happen? He wouldn’t know and don't know when he will.
Anna came back with two smaller shovels, definitely made for stair shoveling and waited with Kristoff by the window. It wasn’t long until Sven came, he parked by the sidewalk as Kristoff and Anna were coming out of the hall, met by the even colder wind than before.
“Hey guys!” Sven had a big bright smile on his face that you couldn’t help but smile too.
“Hey!” they said in almost unison.
“So where exactly do you need the snow to go?” Sven asked them.
“Well, I need this pile and pathway clear, and a path to get to the parking lot end to the back stairs.” Anna gestured with each place she needed plowed.
“Easy work! It’ll be done in no time!” Sven got out of park and went to work, and Anna and Kristoff went back on the stairs to get out of the way.
Usually plowing in a pretty small and enclosed space like Anna’s apartment is hard, but Sven made it look easy.They marveled at the job and were happy to see the black/grayish stone ground again.
Anna was beaming, but that didn’t stop her from being cold. Her teeth started to chatter and soon the cold air slipped into her jacket. She shivered for a bit.
Kristoff noticed her shiver, and asked “Are you cold?”
She looked up at him, “A little…” and then back at Sven’s works. Kristoff debated it it would be weird if he hugged her so she would be warm. But she seemed a little distant ever since earlier. He decided against it.
Sven stopped and called out to Anna through the passenger window. “Hey Anna, how much of a path you want?”
Anna walked over and looked down where the parking lot and the side of the building was. “Just do your best to get it all the way down, but make sure to put the snow in that corner. It’s a parking spot, but no one uses it.” She said to Sven.
“Gotcha!” Sven started up again, and Kristoff came over to observe.
Sven and his truck worked like magic, he got the parking lot done in no time. He drove up to Anna and Kristoff and said, “All done!”
Anna jumped in happiness. “Yay! Thank you so much Sven, you shaved off a couple hours for us!” Anna exclaimed.
“It was no problem at all. Well, I gotta do my own home now, see you guys later.” He stuck his hand out to shake Kristoff’s hand, which he reached out to meet it.
“See you soon and thanks again.” And with that, Sven drove off.
“Well we still have the back stairs. That won’t take long, let’s go!” She said with enthusiasm in her voice.
“I see your excited again.” Kristoff followed her where she was getting the shovels.
“Yeah, because when we’re done, we can have hot chocolate! Now, I can’t wait!” Anna bounced her way to the back of the building.
Kristoff chuckled, then realized, ‘..We?..’

               “Ithink daddy’s dying.”
               Antokblinked several times before glancing down at the phone in his hand. As if thatwould help to give him a better understanding of the situation. Beside himKolivan was watching him curiously, due to the confused expression on his face. Ulaz had momentarily stopped his game ofdarts to look over at Antok.
               “Keith?”Antok finally said and that caused everyone to suddenly sit up. Ulaz grinned teasinglyat his friend while Kolivan smiled softly. It had been a few weeks since Shirohad finally introduced his son to the team. After Antok had rescued Keith at the zoo, Shiro had beenembarrassed and called up the three of them to meet for lunch, so that theycould properly meet Keith. Of course, they had all known about Keith since theday that Shiro had brought him home, but no one had met Keith until the boy wassix. The four of them had been so excited to meet the little boy who hadbrought a smile back on their brother’sface, but they were all willingly to wait until Shiro was ready.
               Especiallyafter Kuro had returned to the family four years ago.
               Oncethey had finally meet Keith, these big, gnarly, tough men had melted into tinypuddles due to big blue eyes and pouty lips. It had taken a little bit for Keithto warm up to the four of them. But eventually, he had them wrapped around hisfingers and they had become honorary uncles.
               Justnot Keith’s favorite uncle, becausethat of course was reserved for Kuro.
               “Yes.It’s me, uncle ‘Tok.” Antok would have previously murdered anyone who would tryto call him such a nickname, but the first time Keith had said it Antok hadbeen filled with so much pride that the nickname had stuck. However, when Ulazhad tried to use it once before, he had been given a noogie that left his hairstanding straight upright for days.
               “HiKeith, how are you?” Antok said quietly, ignoring the teasing from his friends.
               “I’mokay but daddy’s dying!” Keith finally remembered why he had called Antok andsoon enough his breathing had picked up. Antok winced, forcing himself toremain calm. It wouldn’t help Keith if he started panicking too.
               “Whydo you said that kit?”
               “Because,”Keith announced as if it were obvious. “He’s all red and sweaty, and he keepscoughing real bad but he’s still asleep. And it’s almost lunch time!”
               “Isee.” Antok said. He could feel his heart beginning to calm down and hisbreathing remained normal. Keith, however, was still breathing heavily. “Keith,I need you to take a deep breath and calm down, alright?”
               Uponhearing this, Ulaz and Kolivan’s smiles suddenly turned into frowns. Antokalmost rolled his eyes at the immediate concern and worry in both of theireyes. Mother hens.
               “Butdaddy – ”
               “Isgoing to be fine.” Antok interrupted. “Your daddy is not dying. From the soundsof it, I think he’s just sick.” Ulaz’s eyebrows shot through his hairline andKolivan was already waving down a waiter for the bill. Antok appreciated hisfriend’s concern but he was slightly afraid that they were going to storm outof the restaurant and to Shiro’s house.
               “But,but, he’s never sick.” Keithwhispered and Antok could hear hislower lip wobbling.
               “Thatmay be so,” It certainly sounded likeShiro. “But everyone gets sick. Even your daddy and right now he soundslike he has a cold. You’ve had a cold before, right?”
               Keithwas quiet for a few seconds. “Yeah.”          
               “Andyou’re all better now, right?”
               “…Yeah.”
               “Soyour daddy is going to be just fine. He just needs to rest and get better, likeyou needed to.” Antok continued while Ulaz and Kolivan pushed several bills atthe waiter, ignoring his wide-eyed look before they were scooting out of theirchairs. “I promise you that your daddy is going to be okay.”
               Keithwas quiet again but Antok could hear shuffling. “Are you sure?”
               “Keith,”Antok said quietly, so the others couldn’t hear. “Have I ever lied to you?”
               “No.”Keith admitted and Antok smiled.
               “ThenI promise he’ll be okay. Is there anyone else there to watch you right now? Oris it just you and your dad?” Antok asked. Ulaz was trying to signal for Antokto give him the phone, to which Antok ignored and headed for Kolivan’s car.
               “Well,Red is here to watch me.” Keith said, voice suddenly happy and Antok could hearthe sound of a dog walking in the background. “Daddy’s still in bed.”
               “Okay,how would you feel if Uncle Ulaz, Kolivan and I came for a visit? And we’llhelp take care of Shiro.” Antok asked, earning an eye roll from Ulaz. As if they needed a child’s permission. Theywere going over there no matter what.
               “Um,yeah okay!” Keith finally said. There was more shuffling on the line whenKolivan started the car and Antok relaxed again. “Okay, I’m gonna hang up now.I’m gonna make daddy some soup.”
               “Keith,now just wait until we get there.”
               “Byebye!” Keith chirped and then all Antok could hear was the sound of a dial tone.He pulled the phone away from his ear and blinked again. Then he met theconcerned looks of Kolivan and Ulaz before sighing.
               “Wemight want to hurry.”
               Kolivanfloored it out of the parking lot.
x.V.x
               “Keith?”Shiro mumbled tiredly. He felt much more disoriented than usual, and couldn’teven force coherent thoughts to form in his head. His entire body ached, as ifhe’d been hit by a bus. His nose was so stuffy that Shiro couldn’t smell athing. His face and cheeks were burning and his entire body was drenched insweat. It took an embarrassingly long amount of time before he realized that hewas sick.
               I don’t get sick.
               Slowly,the door to his room opened and Shiro weakly turned his head towards the door. Keith! He hadn’t eaten or done anything!Shiro’s eyes snapped open and he shot out of his covers, before hunching overwhen the sudden movement caused him to fall into a coughing fit.
               Shirowheezed, feeling tears build up behind his eyes when the coughing finallysubsided and he blinked to see a tiny figure clambering onto the bed. Moaningquietly from the heat radiating off his body, Shiro finally realized that itwas Keith climbing onto his bed, dragging something behind him.
               “Daddy,lay down. You’re not ‘pposed to be out of bed.” Keith scolded when he saw hisdaddy sitting up right. Shiro was extremely dazed but very confused when Keith startedshoving him back down. He was slightly mortified that he was weak enough thathis six-year-old son could push him down.
               “Keith,”Shiro coughed again, earning another glare from Keith. “You need to eat and Ihave to help.”
               “Ican get cereal daddy.  I know how and Ialready did.” Keith stated proudly and Shiro momentarily felt his lips twitchin a smile.
               “Honey,you shouldn’t be in here if daddy is sick. You’ll get sick too and daddy needsto call grandma or grandpa to watch you then.” Shiro tried to argue, only forKeith to stuff his blankets all around Shiro’s body. If he was hot from a feverbefore, Shiro was boiling under the blankets and covers now. But when he triedto tell Keith to leave it alone, he couldn’t.Not when Keith looked so determined and so focused.
               “Igot a mask!” Keith announced proudly, and sure enough he did. He had white maskthat Shiro used for work in the garage. It was much too big on him but it wasbeing held up by hair clips against the back of Keith’s head and looked like afairly new one. “I’ll be okay! It’s my turn to take care of you and I alreadycalled uncle ‘Tok too.”
               Shirofelt himself practically melt into his blankets. At the mention of Antok, Shirohad been relieved. He didn’t even care that Antok and probably Ulaz or Kolivanwould see him in this state, because all that Shiro cared about was someone would be here to watch Keith when hecouldn’t. He was slightly ashamed that he knew he wouldn’t be able to takecare of Keith in the state that he was in, and there was nothing thatfrustrated Shiro more than knowing that he had failed in his job as a father.
               “Openup.”
               Shirowas suddenly brought out of his self-pity party at the sound of Keith’s voice.He looked over to see Keith was kneeling right before him, with a foldable trayin between them. On top of the tray were a bowl and a spoon and Shiro blinked,before sitting some-what upright.
               “Imade you soup.” Keith’s eyes crinkled, signifying that he was smiling and Shirogrinned. However, he looked down at the bowl and his stomach lurched. The bowlwas filled with water, floating pieces of left-over chicken, vegetables and anarray of spices. “I know I’m not allowed to use the stove and I couldn’t findthe cans of soup we had but this is what it looks like so I made it myself!”
               It looked horrific.
               It lookeddisgusting.
               Shiroknew he would throw up if he ate that.
               However,one look at Keith’s big, bright eyes and smiling face and Shiro was a goner.Instead, he beamed and opened his mouth for Keith to put in a spoonful. And ifShiro’s eyes watered as he forced himself to swallow every spoonful, Keith wasoblivious to it all.
x.V.x
               Thesecond time that Shiro woke up, it was to the fact that he almost couldn’tbreathe.
               Heopened his eyes, only to see darkness. Then he felt something wet tricklingdown his face and when he opened his mouth, his mouth was suddenly filled with water. Spluttering, Shiro coughed andhacked when the water aggravated his throat and the wet cloth was removed fromhis head. Shiro continued to cough for a few more minutes before he looked overto see Keith staring up at him earnestly with a bowl of water and a wetfacecloth.
               “Keith?”Shiro asked when the coughing subsided.
               “Youhave a fever!” Keith frowned. “And I ‘member you did this for me when I had afever, so I cooled down.” Once again, Keith’s face was filled with so muchpride that Shiro felt his strength withering. Eventually, he was lying backdown and Keith scooted closer.
               Shirowinced when a large splash of water landed on his bed, soaking his sheets. Hebreathed in deeply, bracing for impact when Keith dipped the cloth back intothe bowl and Shiro closed his eyes.
               Healmost jumped when the wet face cloth was slapped back onto his face and Shiroheld his breath. He hoped that Keith was going to remove it soon, as it was drenching his face, hair and neck.However, after a few seconds Shiro was beginning to think that Keith was goingto leave it on his face. Quickly, Shiro peeled off the cloth and wiped hisface.
               “Daddy,no, you have to leave it on so it’ll cool you down!” Keith argued, causingShiro to sigh.
               “Baby,”Shiro said hoarsely and Keith turned his full attention to Shiro. “Have uncleAntok and the others arrived yet?”
               “No.”Keith said. “They called and said they’ll be here in an hour, because oftraffic.”
               “Okay.”Shiro handed the cloth back to Keith. “Sweetheart, you should wring out thetowel a bit and dab, remember? You don’t want it too wet and put it on theforehead because that’s the hottest part.”
               Keithnodded, face scrunched up in determination as he wrung the towel out. Wearily,Shiro closed his eyes and this time the towel was still too wet (but notdrenched) but Keith’s hands were gentle as he wiped Shiro’s forehead.
               SoonShiro fell into a blissful sleep.
x.V.x
               Thenext time Dr. Keith woke Shiro up itwas to change out of his stinky clothes.
               Theclothes that Keith had brought Shiro were an old pair of pajamas for his mother whenever she visited. Shiro haddecided to just sleep in his boxers, convincing Keith he needed to cool downeverything.
x.V.x
               Dr. Keith had tried to take Shiro’sprosthetic off and it result in his fingers getting stuck.
               Shirowas dizzy enough that Keith’s crying sounded like 4 Keith’s crying. However, he was quick to help Keith and kiss thehurt away.
               Thankfully,he was able to remove the prosthetic fully and Keith could rub the stump.
x.V.x
               Thelast time that Shiro woke up was when he realized that the blinds weren’tclosed but that it was dark out. Hiseyes snapped open and he scrambled out of bed despite his cooling fever andweak limbs. His mind was racing and all he could worry about was Keith.
               “Whoa.What are you doing out of bed?” Shiro felt two hands steading him when hestumbled out of his room. The person who caught him had stopped Shiro from faceplanting.  He looked up to see Kolivanand Ulaz looking down at him.
               “Keith?”Shiro croaked and Ulaz tsked while Kolivan smiled.
               “He’sfine. We got here about eight hours ago, just after twelve-thirty.” Ulazexplained and Shiro slumped with relief. Ulaz grunted at the increase of weightbut luckily Kolivan hooked and arm under Shiro to help. “He was trying to dolaundry and had dumped a whole container of soap into the washer. Antok spentthe next two hours cleaning it out, so no you won’t have a flood of bubbles thenext time you do laundry.”
               “Wechanged your seats too. They were soaked. You were quite delirious from yourfever that you kept mumbling about a certain Doctor Keith who needed to watchcartoons.” Kolivan added and Shiro couldn’t tell if the heat in his face wasfrom the fever or embarrassment. Suddenly he wanted to bury himself into theground.
               “Keith?”Shiro asked again as he was helped back towards his room. They passed byanother figure in the hallway, and Shiro blinked when he saw Keith sleepingsoundly in Antok’s arms. Keith looked exhausted but content in Antok’s arms andShiro couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
               “Thanksyou guys.” Shiro mumbled as he was helped back into bed and the others crowdedin the room.
               “Ofcourse. We’d do anything for you captain.” Antok said quietly and Shiro grinnedat the old nickname.
               “Youseriously need to learn to ask for help. Seriously, making your son call us andscare us like that.” Ulaz scolded, but there wasn’t any anger in his voice andShiro blinked tiredly.
               “Yes,it was a bit alarming when he thought you were dying.” Antok added causingShiro to giggle.
               “He’sdramatic.” He slurred and Kolivan snorted.
               “Soundslike a certain father of his.”
               “Hey!”
               “Getsome sleep. You and Keith are tired and we’ll stay through the weekend.”Kolivan said suddenly and Shiro burrowed back down into the covers. Quickly, hewhined and reached his one arm out towards Antok. Everyone was confused untilAntok had settled Keith down next to Shiro and Shiro curled around the boyprotectively. Ulaz was taking pictures in the background, and no one minded atall.
               Thegroup began to file out of the room, hoping to let the father and son rest asmuch as they could together. Antok turned back to his old captain and hisbrother, watching as Keith unconsciously snuggled into Shiro. Shiro blinked sleepilyas if realizing they were being watched and smiled.
               “’Tok,you don’t have to wear your mask in this house.” With that he was fast asleepagain, snoring and Antok was left to touch the mask on his face. Quietly, heshut the door behind him, with a smile on his face.
               So,he pulled the mask off.

Blake - i keep reading funny things or spot a hot guy or something n go to message you but realise i can’t. i rly made my life a lot less interesting huh!! becoming friends with you was probably the best experience for me of this game. i really hope that voting you out doesn’t change our relationship and we can still be friends and talk heaps, and watch horror movies, and be mean to people. HAHHAHA. i love you lots!!!
Tumblr media
Blake: You are such a great guy and an awesome player! From being the only two from Sima that stuck together at the first tribe swap, to getting back together on Thueban. You were a great ally and I was to have to cut ties.
Tim: Tim! You’re a really great guy and I still really loved the flag you made for the merged tribe challenge all on your phone, especially the beret and mustache :P Have fun at prom when the time comes and hopefully you found a nice tux!
Richie: You played hard right up to the end and I respect that! You played a great game. Keep dropping your Survivor/BBCan/BBUS knowledge and you’re bound to get a job on the spot! I guarantee it!! Haha Remember, you’re a survivor of grad school, no matter how long you were in it
Dani: You played an awesome game but I guess the odds just weren’t on your side in the end. I wish you the best of luck with your goal of getting on Survivor! :) I’m sure you’ll get on it, just got to keep on trying. I can’t wait to see you on my TV screen.
JG: We often kept our chats to game talk and I felt like we had a really good bond and shared a similar mindset in terms of threats and allies. I was sad to see you get voted out and wish we could have played together for longer. Keep on killing it at Overwatch for me and I’ll keep on killing on Mario Kart for you :)
Raffy: Raffy! You were definitely a character from the moment we interacted right until the very end. Causing tribe drama by forfeiting that challenge was something I’ll never forget. Good luck with the rest of high school and keep enjoying those video games.
AnnMarie: Look at you causing drama with a MedEvac! Haha I’m glad to hear that you were okay. Best of luck with school and make sure to take the time to destress once in a while. You honestly won me over when I saw that you chose Michaela as your picture haha
Andreas: I’m sorry to hear about the frustration you had during the early portion of the game. It was nice to connect with another non-american player! Hopefully your job search went well and your fun interview turned out for the best!!!
Elliot: You were so great! I’m glad we shared a lot of same opinions and it was always great to get my frustration out and screaming into the void with you when needed. You were somebody I saw myself aligning with before you got voted out and that tribal really sucked.
Bryan: We never got to chat much sadly simply because we were never on the same tribe, except for the One World twist. You’re obviously a huge presence in these games which is something to be respected. It would have been cool to play alongside you and learn a bit of your skills. Hopefully see you in the next one!
Akito: We never really talked much, and I blame my busy work schedule for that, but I remember suffering through the duolingo challenge with you from beginning to end. Talking about our progress and how much we didn’t want to do it anymore. Sorry for accidentally congratulating you for getting the highest score only to immediately realize I misread the results haha
Eric A: All the way back to the original Sima tribe. I had a great time shit talking about people who spell their name as Erik over the more superior Eric. But I’m sure we weren’t bias or anything haha We never went far together but I enjoyed the time we had early on in the game,
Matt J: I’m sad that I never actually met in the game. As a first time player myself, I was excited to chat with you. I hope your early elimination won’t stop you from playing again in the future!
Becca: It was sad to see you go home first :( I hope you had a good time throughout your time in the game and hopefully we’ll actually cross paths one of these days.
Tumblr media
Blake- ohhhhhh my god. i love you so much and everyone knows who already really won this game (you) even without the actual title! can’t believe you were done like that and if you play other survivor games (or real survivor) you’re gonna win! Tim- we didn’t talk much but i really  like how you never gave up even when you had like 0 hope. Richie- we didn’t talk much like at all but you’re obviously vvv smart and was always on the top for challenges. Dani- you really were the queen of surviving tribal council and i fully respect your gameplay and you turned into the threat pretty quick! JG- we’ve had our differences but now i really appreciate and respect you!! so glad we got these chances to talk lol! i’ll be rooting for you your next game lol!
Raffy- it was nice talking to you for the short period we did. sorry it ended so shortly but threats can’t stay threats!!!
Annmarie- idk what to say like you flipped on me and after bryan was out you were basically nonexistent Andreas- so you voted for me and that’s completely cool i feel for your awful timezone situation and how you played even with the struggle!
Elliot- i don’t think we were ever on a tribe together but i heard enough about you from blake to feel like we were tbh Bryan- …… i mean the first time didn’t work but the second time was a charm?? Akito- idk you just really tried to throw me under the bus which is kind of an awful thing to do but look who’s here now taquito Eric A- ya know this was my first attempt at trying something and it didn’t work out agdbd but rip to you i really tried
Tumblr media
Blake: You are so cool, unfortunately you just were too good :-( hope to play with you again!
Tim: I really want to play with you again, you are a really good player
Richie: I wish you were still in the game! Unfortunately they targeted our alliance...
Dani: I would have gone to the end with you, I hate that you're not here...
JG: I hope to play with you again! You are a really good player
Raffy: lol your name always autocorrects to Taffy, I hope to play with you again and you're really cool!
Andreas: I'm really sorry that you got voted out, it's a part of my game that I regret the most... Hope to play with you again :-)
Bryan: it's unfortunate that you had to get voted out, I really enjoyed playing with you!
Matt J: I'm sorry that we voted you out early, but you were going after me!
Becca: I wish you could have stayed longer... Good luck!

MEET ALTERNATIVE INDIE ROCK BAND THE TAKERS AND LEAVERS
Who are the Takers and Leavers ?
Alex: The Takers and Leavers are Kevin Blackburn on the Drums, Cairo O’Toole on lead guitar and vocals and Myself, Alex Alston, on Rhythm Guitar and Vocals, we have a couple of touring Bassists but Cairo writes most of the bass parts.
Cairo: Just a few dudes striving to reach the same goal: to melt some faces with glorious indie rock and roll music.
 Why the Takers and Leavers?
Alex: I had been writing songs for a long time and wanted to start a group and I was spitballing some names with my girlfriend, and she’s actually the one who came up with it and I thought it perfectly captured what I wanted to say from a writing perspective. When she actually said it she immediately turned around and said she hated it, but I was sold.
 Do people do drugs at your shows?
Alex: One can only hope.
Cairo: I don’t pay too much attention, as long as they’re vibing I don’t care what they’re on.
 So tell us about life outside music? What does a normal day look like for you guys?
Alex: A normal day for me is either doing obscene amounts of homework or obscene amounts of homework. It’s tough to say what I do outside of music because, I’m always in a writing zone. I’ve got a section of notes in my phone of just random words and lyrical ideas that I’ll write down that I hope aren’t shit when I look at them a second time.
Cairo: My regular schedule consists of going to classes, homework, watching Netflix, or occasionally going to guitar center and messing around with the gear they hav- wait, that involves music doesn’t it...oh well.
 We just finished streaming your most recent EP “PEACHY” tell us about how it came together and the inspiration behind it? “Artificial Thunder” is so fire btw!
Alex : Thanks! I’m really glad you enjoyed that song, it’s my favorite live, the new stuff has been really fun too. It’s funny because how that was our first group of songs that we had written together. I had wrote all the songs, except for Dog, just vocals and rhythm and then we came up with the all of the other instruments together. For Dog, Cairo and I wrote that one together, then brought it to Mr. Kevin Blackburn. Writing for us is a very collaborative process. The inspiration for the lyrics, they are all in one way or another fight songs. They are about external struggles and internal reflection, they are about things that have happened, and thoughts that I’ve had. But, they all have this underlying fight song theme to them. I wanted the songs to be empowering, they’re suppose to tell you to kick some ass.
 Cairo: The EP largely came from the inspiration that struck Alex after he disbanded from version 1.0 of the Takers and Leavers, thankfully heeding some killer tunes. Once he brought them to Kevin and I, we finalized them into the songs you hear now on “Peachy.”
Can you describe the time when you first realized that creating was something you absolutely had to pursue?
Alex : I had to pursue creating music after the first time I had ever played for an audience. Creating music and writing lyrics for me has always been a catharsis and taking those feelings and putting it all into a performance and having a connection with an audience quickly became something I crave. I’m not a religious person but, creating music and writing lyrics is like prayer and performing for people feels like church, I guess is the best way I could put it.
Cairo: I grew up in a very musical household that was encouraging of creativity in general. As a toddler I was literally allowed to draw and paint on our white tile floor. I guess I knew as soon as i started playing music that it would be something that would stick with me and that I would want to pursue.
We saw on your Instagram that you were taking that first step and it’s ok that the next step is uncertain. How is it creating in an uncertain moment in your life?
Alex : When I find something I'm passionate about I go into laser vision only thing I can think about and that is music. Pursuing music and creating music in an uncertain time, gives me a foundation that I can always put my thoughts down. Creating music to me has never been to answer some unsolved question or to play to a big crowd but to have a constant chase in front of me. 
Why did  you guys name your project Peachy?
Alex : The title Peachy simply means, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. It came from the underlying fight song theme of the songs and basically after all is said and done you come feeling Peachy (for lack of better terms haha).
What type of rituals or routines do you have when going about a project or show?
Alex: To prepare for shows we rehearse a lot, we should have a routine though, maybe we should have something we usually feel nervous until that first song starts and then all of that sheds and it’s just a whole lot of fun. Going into a new project is different every time, for the making of Peachy we just started working with songs that I had written and bringing them into the band they morphed into what they are now. As for the next project the songs are done they just have to be recorded. After that, I have no idea, it scares and excites me.
Cairo: Rehearsing has always been a constant before gigs. And food. We always need food before we play. The band restaurant is definitely chipotle.
If you were to pursue a new medium of art, which would it be?
Alex: It would probably be stand up comedy. There’s a stage, an audience, and story telling. Not saying I’d be good though haha, maybe acting I’ve never tried it but I have a lot of respect for actors.
Cairo: Writing has always been my best subject, so I’d like to think that I could pursue something regarding literature. Hopefully I’d develop the patience.
What’s the true reason @artificialthunder decided to wear all red? Love the color way in this pic btw.
Alex : Haha there was no planned colors or you wear this or you wear that, but I guess Cairo and Kev coordinated because I didn’t get the wear blue memo from the other guys.
Cairo : Alex is lying, the red symbolizes his constant self-conflicted agonizing state of mind.
Is there anything you all are working on and would like to speak into existence ?
 Alex: More shows, more songs, we’re always working on something.
Cairo: We always have shows coming up, and we’re constantly trying to develop our musical chemistry as a group.
VVV LISTEN TO THE TAKERS AND LEAVERS BELOW VVV
