Shout-out to everyone who survived a "fun" easter with the family
#fucking hell#it started with finding out my dad smoked in my car when I picked up my sister#who was equally dreading the day#my mum turns into the world's tensest and judgemental presence. worsened by my aunt#then hell for autistic people (of which there are multiple present)#multiple deaf people means one uninspired conversation that isn't interesting in any way.#combinations of passive aggressiveness and people not saying a thing because they can't participate. voice volumes too damn high#weirdass food situations. Very full table. so many smells.#this goes on for over an hour. wishing for literally anything but being there. soul crushing.#then you still have to sit in that room for 2.5 hours. it just goes on and on.#my autistic deaf dad physically looks like how I feel. my mum and aunt keep piling on top of him to demand his mental presence#i leave the room once (to get my phone to show pictures to my uncle) and am immediately followed upstairs by my mum#who demands I don't leave the room (What's next. following me when I need the toilet?)#me and my sister are so bored we start throwing paper planes and fake fighting.#Which amuses the bored and the deaf#but of course my mum and aunt have opinions and this is not allowed. only soul crushing boredom allowed#they complain to each other over it while aggressively doing dishes#finally it ends because my mum and aunt start insisting my dad should go to bed if he's 'that tired'. *sprinkle on some additional ableism*#still sitting through a conversation about allergies one of my sister's friends has. my mum preaching that people should take that seriously#(meanwhile i had to cook for myself for 9 years because when my allergies were really bad no one bothered to check if i could eat something)#me and my sister go sit upstairs to discover our mum has made things we care about vanish in her room#and made things appear that should not be there#I've washed the interior of my car and hope the smell will go#you think it's over after that. but woke up with the realisation that even more things have disappeared from my sister's room.#i can't remember a time when things left outside of my room didn't disappear#I don't know why we do these family gatherings at all. no one has fun on days like that.#the housing crisis isn't making these things easy. my sister is losing her place to live again as well#she'll go hiking for a month and then work on a campsite over the summer#maybe I'll go house sitting again. idk.#can't make commitments a few months in advance like that because I'll cancel everything the second Sparks announces anything important

Eddie rolled over in bed for what felt like the thousandth time, watching the ceiling of his room light up with the passing cars outside. The sound of the clock on his nightstand was taunting him, laughing in his face with every passing second.
4 A.M.
It was four in the morning and he was still unable to sleep, tossing and turning as he tried to distract himself from the problem that afflicted him: you. More precisely the absence of your body on his bed.
He hated that he had gotten used to having you next to him at night. When he accepted your offer to be friends with benefits he never thought he would end up like this, awake at night missing the smell of your perfume or the warmth of your body. It was supposed to be just sex. Sex without feelings between two friends who trusted each other completely. He wasn't supposed to miss your touch or the sound of your breathing while you slept. But he couldn't help it, you were different from all the other girls he'd been with. You made him feel things. And he had been such an idiot to let you go.
He knew you were with him now, the guy you'd ended your arrangement for. Eddie didn't even remember his name, but he hated him anyway. You had left the apartment all dressed up and smelling of perfume, wearing that tight dress Eddie loved so much —it hugged your curves perfectly, leaving little to the imagination. Your red tinted lips left a mark on his cheek as you said goodbye to him before disappearing behind the door, leaving him alone with his thoughts. 
Eddie knew that you were probably lying in that guy's bed, caressing his body, moaning his name. It made him sick, he should be the one in your arms, touching your body as only he knew how, taking his time to appreciate your curves as he brought you to orgasm. It was his name that should be coming from your lips like a prayer, screaming it louder and louder until the neighbors complained. He was the one who should be making you feel good.
He wondered if that guy could feel his caresses on your skin, if he could somehow tell that you belonged to someone else. Even if you really liked this new guy, Eddie knew that your body belonged to him. No one knew you like he did. No one knew what buttons to push to make you melt under his touch like he did. You were meant to be together, he knew that now and he wondered if your new boyfriend felt it too.
After a couple more minutes of tossing and turning, Eddie gave up, it was clear that he wouldn't sleep tonight —at least not until you got home. So letting out a frustrated sigh, he got out of bed. The sound of his bare feet walking down the hallway echoed through the empty apartment, reminding him once again that you weren't there. He went to the kitchen with the intention of pouring himself a glass of water, but by the time he got to the fridge he was feeling so miserable he thought a beer would be better. Maybe if he drank enough he could pass out from drunkenness and finally forget about you for a couple of hours.
He settled down on the couch in the living room, turning on the television in search of something to distract him. He knew he wasn't going to find much at that hour-just commercials and reruns-but the sound in the background kept him company. He didn't bother to turn on the light, not even the small lamp resting on the end table next to the sofa, he felt comfortable in the shadows, it helped him hide his sadness.
He sipped his beer slowly and quietly, enjoying the darkness while his mind was lost in his thoughts of sorrow and regret. He should have said something to you when you asked him to break things off. He should have confessed to you then that the thought of another man stroking your hair made his blood boil. He should have had the courage to tell you that he loved you and that there was no other person he wanted to share his life with. He had repressed his true feelings for you for too long and now it was too late to do anything about it.
Eddie knew he was a failure and that you deserved someone infinitely better than him. You were the most wonderful, intelligent girl he had ever met, full of determination and confidence, with a bright future ahead of you. And he... he was an idiot with dreams of making it big with a band he'd had since high school. An idiot who went from unstable job to unstable job because he wasn't able to keep one for more than a couple of months. He would probably be lost if it wasn't for you. You kept him together in every aspect of his life and he loved you for that, but it was also the reason he knew you two couldn't be together. You deserved better.
He kept repeating that to himself as he finished his beer, hoping to convince his brain that letting you go had been a good idea. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it. He loved you, he missed you. He couldn't sleep alone in his bed knowing you were resting in another man's arms. It was probably selfish, but he wanted you for himself.
"Why are you still awake?" your voice brought him out of his thoughts. He had been so focused on his misery that he didn't hear the sound of the keys or the door closing behind you.
"What are you doing here?" he asked you without even turning to look at you. He couldn't do that, not when he knew another man's hands had touched your body. It hurt too much.
"I asked you first." You tossed your bag onto the couch, kicking your heels off your feet before sitting down next to your friend. He was staring blankly, focused on the ashtray resting on the coffee table as if it were the most interesting object in the house.
"I couldn't sleep," he finally replied, raising the glass bottle of beer to his lips and taking what was left in one gulp. "Your turn."
"I..." you mumbled, unsure of what you were about to say. "I ended things with Scott. It just wasn't working."
"How? You seemed pretty happy when you left." You shrugged, though it didn't matter because Eddie still wasn't looking at you. His eyes were now focused on the television, admiring a Coke commercial as if it was the first time he'd ever seen it. 
You remained silent for a moment, contemplating your response. You knew very well why you had ended things with Scott, but you didn't know if telling Eddie the truth was a good idea. Scott was a great guy, he was funny, he was smart, he respected you and your times... but he wasn't who you really wanted. You tried to convince yourself, to force yourself to love him the way he loved you, but it was impossible. Your heart belonged to someone else and you felt bad lying to Scott like that, he didn't deserve it.
"He's not you, Eddie."
That seemed to get his attention. His gaze left the television to settle on your face for the first time since you walked through the apartment door. It was hard to make out on his face dimly lit by the television glow, any expression that would give you an idea of what he was thinking, something that only added to your nerves. However, you could have sworn you noticed a sparkle of hope in his eyes. It was quick, a blink and it was gone, but you were pretty sure you had seen it. Although it could very well have been part of your imagination.
“What are you trying to say?” Eddie had some idea of what you were referring to, but he needed to be sure. He needed to know for sure that you wanted to be with him, that you felt the same way about him that he felt about you. He needed to be sure that you didn't just miss the physical and passionate nature of your former arrangement.
"That I love you," you confessed, fiddling with the hem of your dress. "And that I want to be with you... for real this time."
Eddie didn't respond to you with words, unable to put into a coherent sentence how happy and relieved he was to hear you say that —he wasn't the only idiot who had caught feelings after all. Instead, he took it upon himself to close the distance between the two of you, bringing your lips together in a slow but desperate kiss. 
It wasn't the first time you had kissed —you knew each other's bodies by heart at this point—, but this time it felt different. There was no doubt or hesitation in the way your lips moved, no fear of revealing too much. You had nothing to hide, so you allowed yourselves to get lost in the moment, enjoying every caress, every touch, using your lips to communicate how deep your feelings were. 
Eddie's hands cupped your cheeks and you followed them, placing your hands on his in an act of desperation to feel him as close to you as you could. You didn't want the moment to end, you wanted to feel him against your lips for the rest of your life, to have his fingers caress the skin of your cheeks until you could no longer feel them. You had denied your love for him for so long and now you had to make up for lost time.
But despite your protests, Eddie pulled away from you to catch his breath. You missed his lips the moment they stopped making contact with yours, but to make up for the loss you rested your forehead against his, maintaining close proximity as you gazed into his eyes.
“I love you too.”

"You look, oddly familiar." (surviors! x gn!reader)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
INTRO
A prompt where you knew said Survivor before they came to the manor. Your reason for coming here? Probably because of them.
꒰wc꒱ 1.0k words (grammar and spelling warning, mentions of abuse in Female Dancer’s part.)
Tumblr media
The Enchantress
You and the Enchantress were together a lot as kids, or has your growing age started to wipe your memory clean? Do you struggle to remember such personal moments the two of you shared? Such a shame, as it's been over 5 years and you've yet to trace her location down. Has she disappeared from the world entirely? Seems like it, doesn't it?
Oh. Wait. There's a memory. An old one for sure, but a memory is still a memory. You and Patricia had spent what seemed to be every waking second together. So much so that Patricia's "mother" had started to see you as her own. Another child to take under her wing, and she gladly would. You understand that, right? Had she not taught you enough? The two of you had made a habit of strolling through New Orleans together, knowing almost every face that inhabited every corner of the city. You'd be down there for any number of reasons. To pick something up, to look for new ingredients, or just to look around the place you know by the back of your hand.
If the two of you had spent so much time with each other, then why didn't she tell you where the hell she went? She never left a note, a letter, or even a single clue as to where she ran off. So yes, when you received a letter stating to know her whereabouts you followed. Was it dumb? Oh for sure. But you would take every chance you could get to find her. You didn't even get to go up to her when you spotted her, she already knew.
"I wish you hadn't come," The Enchantress says with her back turned to yours. "but I can't help but be happy that you did." She chimed, turning around with a smile and a strange-looking artifact in her hand.
Tumblr media
The Painter
You were there when it all started. You know, his painting thing. At first, he was a mess, paint slobbered all over his hands and face like a child. But I guess he was a child when he first picked up the paintbrush. Who would’ve known he would never put it down?
As Edgar’s talent increased, he started painting other things. Boats in the river, flowers growing outside, people strolling around the park where the two of you frequented. His drawings decorated his room and cluttered his bedroom floor.
For your 12th birthday, little Edgar (in all honesty) had forgotten about your birthday. The thought of it struck his mind at 1 in the morning as he quickly grabbed for his paints before whisking out a canvas. Throwing himself into his work, he produced his first of many portraits of you. From that point forward, it was a tradition for him to paint you for each birthday. No matter how many fights you had over his short temper or accidental paint spills imported from the other side of the country, you still received a packaged painting. Wrapped in fine silk with a “happy birthday” note tucked in between the folds. For you, he spared little to no expense. That is, until he got older.
It has been over two years since you've seen the man and you haven’t received a single portrait since. Arriving at the manor, you find him in the garden alone, painting a familiar portrait.
“It’s nice that you remember my face, as I’m starting to forget yours.” Your voice nearly makes him drop his paintbrush, as he whips around to meet you. You in all your stunning beauty, god, how you’ve grown from the small child he once knew.
Tumblr media
Female Dancer
It is either that you met Nata-Margaretha in Lakeside Village or during your shared time spent in the Hullabaloo circus. Both experiences that you will not forget, but time makes things foggy. It blurs memories that were important to your life that you can no longer recall. But for the sake of going to bed without a piercing migraine tonight, your brain tells you it was during the circus.
Ah, now you're starting to remember things. As memories (some unwanted) come flooding back to you about the circus. A curious place that produced good and bad thoughts. Your mind flashes back to before the accident when time was spent helping Margie (a nickname used widely throughout the circus by many of its performers) tame animals and perform new jaw-dropping tricks to stun the audience. 
You remember when your ignorance of what was happening behind closed curtains came crashing down. When Margaretha came crying to you, sobbing that she needed to tell you something. She then began to show you bruises and cuts that littered her body, all deliberately hidden in places that couldn't be noticed unless further expected. To keep it short, you were shocked that "he" could do something this horrible, to decorate her upper body in purple and red marks. It was even more shocking that if anyone noticed, "he" would just brush it off and say that she got hurt while practicing. 
At that time, you knew you had to get her and yourself out of there. A lack of knowledge has landed your friend with bruises, cuts, and unwanted love from someone she thought she cared for.
You haven't seen Margaretha since the fire. Actually, you haven't seen anyone since the fire. Not Mike, not Murro, not even Violetta. But following breadcrumbs as to where they all went earned you a one-way ticket to the Oletus Manor, maybe your questions will be answered there.
"Margie?" You almost choke on your words. Seeing her for the first time in so long feels nostalgic. (how old are you again?) She can't even respond, she can’t even believe it's you. All you'll get from her is a death-griping hug and a stained shirt accompanied by her ever-flowing tears.

masterlist & taglist
You liked routine and order. You like doing things a certain way, most days of the week. And one of those things is your daily visit to your favourite coffee shop. This quaint little store had become a part of your daily routine a for a year now, where you'd drop by on your way to work or go in-between errands. 
You've grown to know the staff and other regulars well, so when you notice someone new enter, you can't help but look. The stranger sits on the opposite side of the room, parallel to your usual seat by the window, a book in hand with an espresso in the other. He's really quite a sight, a slim guy with brown hair, wearing a chunky knit sweater and glasses, the cute nerdy type. He was a rather beautiful stranger, and you definitely would've remembered his face. 
You pick up your drink and aimlessly look around the room until you meet a set of brown eyes that are not so subtly staring at you. You smile in your usual friendly way to the stranger opposite before resuming the work on your laptop. You slowly peek over the screen, slyly gazing from afar, briefly making eye contact, in which you both momentarily look away as if you're nervous. Get back to work, you told yourself repeatedly, but you couldn't. You couldn't pull yourself away from him because all you wanted to do was look at him. He was like one of those beautifully mysterious people you walk by on the street, the ones you think about weeks later.
Eventually, you finish everything you were supposed to, so as a reward, you allow yourself another opportunity to look at the handsome stranger. But when you peek over, he was gone. He left. New York is a populated place, so the possibility of seeing him again was very slim, a slither of a chance. So when he disappeared, you couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness at his absence. 
The next day you come to the coffee shop at your usual time, order your usual drink and sit in your usual space. You put your headphones on and open your laptop, immediately getting to work and doing everything you need to do.
You take a brief break, sipping your drink and taking a bite of your cake when you notice him. The stranger from yesterday sat in the same place, doing as he did the day before. What are the chances? You thought to yourself.
You subtly gaze at him over your mug, almost instantly locking eyes. You hold eye contact for a few seconds before you glance away, feeling too nervous under his gaze. He notices the shy expression on your face and chuckles into his hand, which causes him to get strange looks from the other patrons, consequently making you snicker into your mug. You meet his eyes again and softly smile at the exchange. 
Over the next week, similar events would occur. You'd make eye contact more frequently, and as the days went by, he sat at a table closer to you. He was almost to you, just one day to go, one table to go. 
Today was the day you two would technically meet, and you couldn't wait. You felt sick, nervous, like a bag of jelly, but you were excited. You were looking forward to finally meeting the man you've been gawking at all week. He wasn't here yet, so you get to work on your laptop, trying to kill time and ease your nerves before he arrives. 
But he never came, and you felt hurt. 
-
The next day you were feeling better about the situation. You understood he had a life outside the coffee shop, but in that moment, you were upset. You were looking forward to meeting him, so when he didn't show up, it did hurt your feelings.
You walk into the coffee shop and immediately notice the back of a person in your place. It wasn't your seat, but all the other regulars had specific spots, and the one in the corner by the window was yours. The man turns around when he hears the bell chime on the door, and you meet the face of the stranger, your stranger. He smiles at you and waves you over.
Once you reach the table, you see two sets of drinks and cakes, his usual order and yours. 
"Hey, I'm Peter," he grins, gesturing for you to sit. "Hope this isn't too weird," he chuckles, nodding to the spread on the table. 
"No, not at all," you smile as you share your name, shaking his extended hand.
"I- uh, hope I got your order right," he softly laughs, nervously scratching the back of his neck. "I had to check with the barista,"
Your smile widens. "It is. It's my exact order, thank you," you pull out a couple notes from your wallet, and Peter instantly pushes it away.
"My treat," he grins before sipping from his espresso. "Maybe you can pay me back by accepting this as a date?"

the morning after
pairing: jennifer walters x reader
a/n: the iron man thing was completely self-indulgent as you can see by my username lol
summary: the date you had last night with jen left you wanting more—hopefully, she does too.
Tumblr media
You stared at the ceiling fan slowly spinning as you tried to remember last night's events. 
Scratch that, you do remember every single thing, but it was so surreal you weren't sure it wasn't just a figment of your imagination. You still can't even believe that you matched with the She-Hulk.
As soon as you saw her profile, you swiped right at the speed of lightning, although you knew there was a less than ten percent chance of her matching with you.
So when the Matcher notification pinged hours later showing you that you had a match, no other than her, you panicked. It never really subsided until you were across the table from her in a fancy restaurant, all your worries about not being able to handle a freaking conversation disappearing every minute that passes, every banter that was exchanged. And just like that, you find yourself in her bed, still stark naked under the covers from last night's rather...eventful happenings.
The first time you heard her laugh—you knew you had to see her again after this. (The first one wasn't even finished and your mind was already on the next one, oh boy, were you whipped.)
She was surprised when she caught a glimpse of your lock screen, being Iron Man's ass. She showed you hers, being Captain America's. You were slightly worried that this will cause some disagreements considering the whole Sokovia Accords stuff, but Jen laughed it off and said that “It's like we're meant to be!” with such enthusiasm.
The drive after dinner seemed like a blur because as soon as you got out of her car, she carried you bridal style all the way to her room.
The rest was history.
You heard a noise coming from outside, making it your cue to leave the bed. It took you a while to find your own clothes on the floor. As you went out, you see Jen (automatically assuming it was her) sitting on the couch eating breakfast. The sight and the smell of food made your stomach grumble rather loudly, capturing the attention of the woman.
“Uh. Hi?”
Jen chuckled at the visible confusion and the abashed look on your face. “Good morning. Here,” she gestured towards the table. “I made breakfast.”
You took hesitant steps closer to her. You're uncharacteristically nervous and it shows. It was a good kind of nervous, though.
“You weren't so shy last night,” she remarked as she took a sip of freshly squeezed orange juice, flustering you even more.
“You aren't so...tall,” you retorted, earning a mocking hurt look from her, a hand pressed against her chest.
You didn't know where that came from.
“Hey, that's mean. We're pretty much the same height now, you know.” She mused, stuffing more pancakes in her mouth. “Is that a downgrade?”
“What? No. It's...you're perfect.”
Jen stilled, taken by surprise. She was scared that this might turn out like that last date that she had, the man practically bailing out as soon as he saw her outside her Hulk form. 
Though her dating life wasn't exactly all giggles and butterflies, her date with you was easily the best among each that she had through the dating app, probably even her whole life. She made a mental note to treat Nikki to lunch sometime.
Jen really likes you and wants to know you better, so before she could have her hopes up, she asks. “Are you talking about me being just Jen, or are you referring to me as She-Hulk?”
“Both. Both are perfect,” you answered, turning to her. “I've gone on a date with you as She-Hulk...I've spent less than an hour with you as Jen, and…I would really like to go on a date with regular old Jen, too. That is if you want to…”
She set down her glass and pounced at you, trapping you between her and the couch's armrest. Jen's gaze flickers between your eyes and lips as she slowly leans in. Her lips moved against yours gently, unhurriedly, it was almost innocent. She could taste the maple syrup on your lips, smiling at how sweet you tasted. Soon the kiss grew passionate, Jen quite literally taking your breath away. She pulled back with a smile on her features, the little dimples on her cheeks easily making you swoon. 
“I'll take that as a yes.”

This was a request for Dad!Joe celebrating his son's birthday. I hope you like it @mrsshiesty
Dad!Joe is the type of dad to go all out for his son every birthday. I'm talking about he wakes up at 5 am to decorate his door. Joe has kept a neat list in his phone of everything his son even glanced at or mentioned. Dad!Joe might have gone overboard and bought him every toy he asked for throughout the year.
"Joe, do we really need to do this. I think-"
"Shhh. You'll wake him. I think it's a good tradition. Plus, he really likes it. With the new baby coming, he's been feeling left out." Joe whispers. You nod your head and pass him the tape. When you announced you were pregnant, Little Joe didn't take it so well. He did not want a sister he would have to share his daddy with. You rub your belly, watching your husband put the final touches on the door. This year, Jojo was really into dinosaurs. He had you and Joe redecorate his room to a dinosaur-themed room, including a Jeep bed with a T-Rex head hanging over it.
"It looks great. Now can we please go to bed? I'm 8 months, my feet hurt, and if I don't get my sleep in, I will be even more cranky."
Joe nods and pulls you to the bedroom. You only get two more hours of sleep before the birthday boy comes running in.
"Happy birthday to me! Jojo is 5 now!" He shouts. Joe sits up, pulling Jojo into the bed. You watch your son bounce on the bed excitedly.
"Dad! Make me the oatmeal with the dino eggs, please!" Jojo screams. Joe scoops him up, and they disappear, leaving you to sleep for a little bit more. You wake up around 10:30 to the boys watching Jurassic Park. You can't even remember the number of times Jojo has made you both watch those movies. You could probably recite the lines. Joe crawls out of the tent to pepper your face with kisses.
"Have you guys just been watching this?"
"Yeah, it's what he wanted. Hurry up and shower; you know we're taking him to the dinosaur exhibit." He reminds you.
"Actually, I need to stay here and get things ready plus, I think this will be good for you guys to talk. Our daughter will be here in 3 weeks, and he still refuses to talk about it." You whisper the last part. Joe agrees and takes Jojo upstairs to shower and get ready. The boys return wearing matching t-shirts and shorts. You kiss your boys and wish them farewell for now. You need to get everything ready for the surprise party.
"Dad. I'm a big kid now. I can sit in the front, right?"
"Not yet, kiddo. You need to get a little bit older." Joe laughs, strapping him into his car seat. Jojo starts playing with his T-rex along the drive. When they arrive, Joe gets stopped by some fans in the parking lot. He takes photos, but when the crowd gets too much, he has to decline. He didn't want to ruin Jojo's day.
"Why are those people taking photos, Dad?"
"I'm famous."
"Why?"
"Because Daddy plays football professionally; remember we talked about it?"
Jojo stares at him.
"But you're just daddy. How can you be famous?"
"Umm, you know the movie we watch? The people on there are acting professionally, so they are also famous." Joe explains. Jojo stares at him again.
"Am I famous?" He asks. Joe chuckles.
"Kinda, but not really."
"I see. Look how big this brachiosaur is!" Jojo shouts, wiggling out of Joe's arms. Joe sets him down and watches his son sprint the outside standee. Joe snaps a few photos and sends them to you. Jojo takes his hand and leads him to the entrance. Joe takes out his card to pay, but the cashier lets' him know it's free.
"I can't do that. It's fine."
"We insist, Joe." The manager says.
"At least let me pay for the family behind me." Joe hands the card over and the manager charges it. Jojo taps his foot waiting for his father to come. Joe finally finishes and takes his hand.
"We should start with the North America dinosaurs, then make our way around," Jojo shouts, holding up the map. Joe does his best to let Jojo take the lead, but people keep stopping them.
"Dad! We're going to miss the show!" Jojo yells.
"I need to get-"
"You need to get us another ring." An older guy says with his buddy nodding.
"I will try my best. Next season we plan to go harder." Joe nervously laughs.
"Dad!" Jojo screams, causing everyone to look. Joe excuses himself and follows Jojo.
"Sorry, the show started and unfortunately once it started we can't let anyone in." The worker apologizes but Jojo's eyes start to water.
"I'm so sorry little man."
"Take me home! I want Mommy!" He cries.
"Look, we still have one more floor to go to."
"I said home!" Jojo runs off, and Joe chases him. He picks Jojo up and takes him to the last floor. Jojo buries his face in Joe's neck and refuses to pay attention. Joe mispronounces the dinosaur names on purpose so that Jojo corrects him every time.
"No that is Diplodocus, dad." Jojo corrects him smiling.
"So smart." Joe kisses his head and lets Jojo down to explore. This time Joe refuses photos and autographs, which most people understand. He is not there at star quarterback Joe Burrow. Today he is only dad. Joe takes Jojo back for the show, but the next show isn't until 3, and they needed to head home for the party.
"It's his birthday today, and it would really mean a lot."
"I understand, but there is nothing I can do."
"Can you ask you, manager, please tell him it's for Joe Burrow." Joe folds his hand, begging. He hated using the I'm Joe Burrow thing, but it was Jojo's birthday, and he wanted to see this show. Joe would do anything to keep him happy. The worker pages the manager.
"Play the show, Helen. Are you insane? Whatever Joe wants!" He replies. Helen laughs and lets Joe and Jojo in. Joe is happy they are alone because he is starting to feel bad turning down kids for photos. Jojo placed his 3D glasses on and sat back, watching the show go on. In the end, he couldn't stop smiling.
"Dad, when I grow up, I want to study dinosaurs! Unless you want me to play football."
"Jojo, you can be anything you want to be. If you want to be a Paleontologist, go for it. Your mom, sister, and I would be proud of you either way." Joe says, picking him up and placing him in the car. Jojo looks down at his new T-Rex plushie and frowns.
"My sister?"
"Yes. You know mommy is pregnant and carrying your little sister in her belly right. I know you've been upset about it but it will be fun to be a big brother."
"You're not a big brother; how would you know?" Jojo rolls his eyes.
"You're right, but I'm a little brother, and having a sibling is the best thing in the world. You remember in the film how the older triceratops protected his little sister?"
"Yes. That's what I will do too. I'll protect sissy!" Jojo smiles.
"You will. And me and Mommy will protect both of you."
"unless one of us is the weaker one, then Mommy will abandon us." Jojo mumbles. Joe laughs. Maybe he shouldn't use dinosaurs to explain family. When they arrive home, Joe takes Jojo to the backyard, where everyone jumps out shouting surprise. The backyard has been transformed into a Jurassic theme. Jojo squeals and jumps with excitement. He runs around, saying hello to everyone and then to the huge dino figure near the pool. Finally, he makes his way to you.
"Mommy, I can't wait for sissy to come! I'll be the best big brother."
"Aww, my baby." You bend down to hug him feeling your little girl kick. Jojo runs around with his cousin and friends, playing. When it's time to open gifts, you shake your head at the amount Joe got Jojo. After cleaning up, and when the guest leaves, you take a much-needed bath. You find your favorite boys in bed waiting for you. Jojo lies in the middle, smiling. You and Joe got pregnant fresh out of college. At 21, you had no idea what the future would hold, but you made the decision to be a stay-at-home mom and support Joe's career. It was the best decision you've ever made. 5 years later, you are still madly in love and expecting child number two. Joe kisses your head and then Jojo's head. Jojo kisses your belly and turns on Jurassic Park 2.

Are you okay?
Tumblr media
Tag : @hufflepuff1619
AU: My first request one shot fic. I hope I did justice. Reader's first case and Lockwood makes sure the reader is alright. Hope you like it!!
"Are you okay?"
You looked at the boy, standing at the door, concern painted all over his face.  
"I'm fine." You hid your nervousness. 
You were sitting in the living room of an agency called Lockwood and Co. Involuntarily shaking your knees. Your mind was running a thousand miles per second. This was your first case, it's normal to be nervous. 
You got this job last week. You came from a small town with nothing but a rapier and a dream. You first discovered your talent when you were seven years old. 
You were playing in the field with your friends when you touched a tree and saw a man hanging from it. That's when you discovered you have talent.
Also, It was a horrifying thing for a kid to see but it intrigued you, instead. Since then, you wanted to be an agent. 
Anyways, it's almost time to leave for work. Lockwood calls your name, breaking your train of thoughts. 
"Hi," Lockwood muttered.
"Hey.." 
"are you..okay?"
"I'm okay but I'm nervous." 
"I could tell. It's normal to be nervous. I was too, when I got my first job." 
Really?"
He nods, not leaving your eyes. You gave him a smile. You don't have a choice but to be confident. You don't want to lose this job
"Ah home for tonight." George sighed while settling the bags. 
"We still have half an hour in our hands. Fancy some tea?" You asked. You received some enthusiastic nods as a response and made yourself to the kitchen.
You pop the kettle and settle on the counter. You closed your eyes and touched a few items in the kitchen, looking for some clues.
"Find anything?" Lockwood peeks inside the kitchen.
"Not yet" 
When you opened your eyes, you found Lockwood making tea and handed you a cup. You sipped your tea, content with the warmth it gives to your heart. One thing you love about Portland Row is the tea. Lockwood makes the best tea but you can't reveal this to anyone. If George finds out he will be pissed off, he takes pride in his culinary skills.
"Shall we?" Lockwood gives you his hand.
"We shall." 
It was harder than you thought. The visitor is strong and fast for some reason. You and Lockwood are trying to fight off the visitor while George and Lucy are looking for the source.
"WATCH OUT." 
You dodged and swung your rapier on the Ghost. "Lockwood, I don't think there's only one visitor." 
Before he could process you pushed him to the corner and threw a salt bomb on the ghost which was standing behind him. Lockwood was startled for a moment but he regained his composure.
Soon, both of you were fighting off the visitors in such ease, it's like a dance routine. It's like you both are meant to be together. 
"WE FOUND" 
You heard Lucy from across the room.
"Take your time to secure it, no pressure." With a dash of sarcasm you swung your rapier for the last time. It was gone. The visitors disappeared, the room went quiet. You can only hear your heavy breathing. 
You tried to stand but you fell on your knees, you felt a sharp pain in your waist. You touched it and felt warm blood oozing from your wound. 
"(Name),are you okay?" Lockwood gave you his shoulder, pulling you off the floor.
"I don't remember how..i hurt myself." 
"Don't talk right now. I'll patch you up, hold on." 
You're back in your room, sitting in your bed watching Lockwood practically running around the house. Looking for a med kit. You shook your head in exhaustion. 
"Lockwood I'm fine." 
The rustling stopped for a moment, you thought maybe he left and went outside the house but you were met with heavy footsteps.
"Fine?" 
You looked up with your droopy tired eyes. You saw Lockwood taking a seat in front of you.
"You're far from fine." He grimly said. "May I?" He gestured to your shirt. Silently asking to remove it. You nod in response. 
He helped you take it off, he didn't meet your eyes and you also felt the wall beside you looked interesting. He silently cleaned up your wound, muttering in his breath. 
You felt the tension inside the room so high, you might die from lack of oxygen. "You scared me." 
You looked at him in astonishment. "Lockwood.."
"If you say 'fine' one more time, I won't talk to you" he huffed. It made you smile. 
He's so cute
"I'm sorry. I should've protected you better."
"It's not your responsibility to protect me, Lockwood" 
"It's my name written on the door. It's my responsibility to protect my employees" 
You couldn't figure out why the word 'employee' hurt you a little. 
After patching you up, he sat beside you. 
"You saved me but I couldn't protect you. I'm sorry." He looked so guilty it broke your heart.
"I'm sorry. I'll be more careful next time" you gave a reassuring smile to him. 
You both remain quiet for a while, silently enjoying each other's company. 
"Does it hurt?" 
" Yeah a little, but I'll be alright soon. I think I'll just lay down a bit." 
"Oh yes, yes." He helped you lay on the bed. He tucked you in, literally. You blushed at his actions. 
"Are you really fine?" 
"Lockwood for the love of God, I am fine. Please don't worry so much." You cried.
"I..was just making sure you're okay. Jesus." Nonchalantly, he replied. 
He got out of your room and closed the door only to open it again. 
"Are you okay, name?" This time he's just annoying you. 
You threw a pillow at his face but before it hits him, he shuts the door and laughs mischievously. You smiled to yourself and went to deep slumber.

Natsume Sakasaki -Analysis
(from Reminiscences Selection ELEMENT)
and more?
DISCLAIMER + WARNING!!!
I said it before, but I'll have to say it again that this is my PERSONAL ANALYSIS. If anything feels out of place, pls, feel free to have your own thoughts on this. ( Maybe your p.o.v is different from mine )
My English is bad...sorry, but I'll continue to improve it!
I'm not good with analysis so if anything makes you confused, pls do ask. I would love to help you with any problem(that I'm capable of)
Ok~ Let's go!
For those who think the war didn't affect on Natsume much since he looked un-scratch. Then, the answer is a no and yes.
I'm not going to talk about it like, fine by physic and hurt by mental because ( except Eichi ) none character at the end of the war got any physical problem on them. Mostly came from mental then it affects their physical state like Rei or Shu.
Kanata? No, he just lost his beliefs and changed for the better good ( Chiaki saved him in time )
Rei? Got sent away and later on turned into a daunting old man. In his case, he had a bad relationship with Ritsu and his mental problem affected on him made him act and do things like a granny.
Shu, got defeated and had a mental problem after that ( He's getting better later on )
Wataru is...kinda ok actually. Since he was able to figure out Eichi's plan so it didn't do much on him.
Natsume was being protected by the 2yr members of 5 Eccentic so of course, no damage was taken either.
But the thing is, Natsume wasn't able to join the real fight, most of the time, he had to stay back and watch as all his Nii-san fell apart. One by one.
Like, when all your friends got hurt but you can't do anything but stand aside and witness their fall down.
That is why he was so angry. He feels left out.
And he blames it on himself, that he's not as good as them, and that's why he never got a chance to stand up and fight with them.
Now, let's go back in time *click click the turnback button*
He does look a bit uncomfortable when he meets Tsumugi, but most of that is after he knows that Tsumugi knew he's past.
It's like: "Oh...no no, I hate that time and I hate you for being the witness of that old me. Too bad I can't make that memory disappear out of your head so I'm just kinda uncomfortable with you for remembering that stuff."
He starts to get a little un-friendly but then later on, it gets worse, when he learns that Tsumugi is a member of Fine and watches Eichi as his friend.
He goes soft when being with the 5 Eccentric for sure.
But it is still nothing compared to the mad and hatter-like after the war ended. When he ignores Tsumugi and anyone he doesn't care or give a sh^t about. ( He does care about Tsumugi. Sometimes he just acts a little unsettled with anyone he doesn't care/know about. It's not a completely don't care but...ya know what I mean )
Tumblr media
( From Chapter 3/ In the rose garden )
So, what made him become like this? It was the war.
It is a yes when it comes to the war's effect on him. It's not as heavy as Shu or Rei or a total change in look and understanding like Kanata but it did have some effect on him.
Hence, it doesn't mean that he's fine. He's better than most but not fine.
How you do think that THAT big of an event can't be able to do something to him. It does!
And to whoever writes his character, I wish your pillow cold on both sides! Because he is such an interesting character to look into.
It's worth pointing out that the feeling of Natsume being an outsider isn't just an experience for him but also for the reader, the viewer who watches the anime and Element 3D version.
Consider the fact that in each episode, an Eccentric was being defeated or was mentioned about their fall.
There was nothing about Natsume but locking himself in a room and keep on writing the script for a happy ending that he was yearning for.
Tumblr media
( this is a part of the Black Bird story/ the moment when the script got burned )
Kanata was defeated, then came Shu.
At the time Natsume was writing the script, it was already the end of it all. The situation can no longer be saved.
The Eccentric Party Night? It was all Natsume's dream.
The time when he gets to be with all his beloved Nii-san is in Episode 2. Then later on in Episode 5 when the last Eccentric are being executed.
It was the beginning and the end.
And I don't think if Natsume's plan got accepted by Wataru mean they'll win either. Yes, it is bad for the school as Wataru and Eichi mentioned in Episode 6, but I'm scared for the others who have already been defeated, can they able to gather strength after all the brutal executes their been through.
Simultaneously, the students still hate them. Their anti-fan exists.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They'll have to survive another war even if Eichi's already been taken down.
So in conclusion, if we put the Eccentric Party Night scene out of the picture, then Natsume does seem to be left out.
That why he was so mad, that why he wanted revenge. Even if none of his Nii-san want to, he wants it. Not just for them but also for himself.
He wants a chance to stand up with his own two feet, defeat the bad guy, and show all his beloved brothers that he has finally grown up.
Last but not least! He feels betrayed when Wataru joins Fine. But I think he did understand Wataru's decision. That why he still call Wataru his Nii-san, that why he just a little crappy but not a totally hated form of treatment for Wataru.
You can say he has a soft spot for Wataru, but he didn't beg nor have any rejection over it, he just went: "Why did my beloved Nii-san have to stay in the same unit as that demon...now it is even harder to take him down...what a headache."
He knows Wataru well, and lets Wataru do as he likes. And I think that was a very grown-up of him. After all that begging for the plan to be accepted by Wataru. After all that panic and suffering for his older senior to win it even if there was already no redo.
The Natsume now is calmer than before. Of course, he still has a lot to learn and more room for development, but yes, he may have some improve.
That all~ That alL~ ThaNk yOU for REAding~ XoxO!
Also made one for Tsumugi in the past if you want to read another analysis: https://www.tumblr.com/sucantslay/745663127662837760/aoba-tsumugi-analysis-from-the-animation

૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა ╱ real talk sentence starters pt 2 ( created using lyrics from man overboard's real talk album. feel free to adjust to fit your muse. )
i know you're sound asleep right now and you can't hear
i'm gonna explain everything and turn this into every dream your pretty little head could ever come up with
i'm drunk with the thought of sharing these blankets right now
i think we're old enough to know
i think we're old enough that we would know better
we should know better now
i pretend that i'm already someone and all my problems faded away
i should be sound asleep right now but i'm not
i'm gonna explain everything and hope that you can hear me
your pretty little head goes undisrupted
i figured i'd go at the least to check in
i just miss her grin
to show that i didn't really never wanna see you again
my heart caves in when i look at you
this is so hard
do you take pictures off the walls when you know i'm coming to your room?
do you hide all the stuffed animals the other boys bought for you?
i wasn't surprised
she was chilling, looking hot in her bed
i kept my distance
i was a good boy
let's go home to a place we can call our own
we can live there together, be in love forever and never have to be alone
would you try?
would you leave me for some other guy?
i've been sitting without you
just thinking about you
wishing you were here inside
when you wake up you will call me
i will tell you that i miss you so
i make records so that when i'm gone you can hear me on your stereo
i think we're in love
i'm so tired
since i met you i'm always inspired
i think i could change the world if you were really my girl
we would have all we desired
looks like we're holding hands
who knows exactly what this all could be?
all i know is that i feel fine when i pretend you're mine and you lie close to me
i'm finally laying somewhere where i'm happy that i'm here
my troubles said goodbye and the heartache disappeared
i miss you most when i try to act like i don't care about the warm hands
i think that we're best friends
i like your face, that's why i stare
you're everything i hoped a girl could be
so here's a toast to laying close
i'm comfy now and i just won't leave
you and me
i'm in it for the long haul
i like you
you better come back if you're running
the rain poured down on the day that i left to hang out with you in new york
every little thing made me miss you more
i kept running
it's like i'd never been so sure of doing something stupid
doing something without thinking
i'm just trying to make a getaway to you
i'd have gone a thousand miles more
i'll meet you in your head tonight when you're in bed
the one time that i came to your house
i was freezing outside until you finally came out
you pulled me by the arm and we went around back
you glared me up and down
you say you don't remember that
we went downstairs
i saw your bedroom and stuff
i tried to say some things but you said to shut up
i looked at you
you were so damn cute
sifting through the pages of the pictures that you drew
i know you're thinking of me
you're everything that i'd hope for
i'm all the shit that you go for
stop kidding yourself now
i hate you
you should have picked up the phone tonight
open your eyes, kid
you know i'm on your side, kid
i'd like to save the world and you could be my sidekick
they'll all say our names
i've lived a lie, kid
i'd love to run and hide, kid
you could say 'fuck them all' and ditch the world like i did
the words down on the paper answer yesterday's dream
we could be untouchable

REMEMBER
Tumblr media
masterlist
posted : 01/02/23 (European date)
edit 10/04 (European date) : wanted to change Bella to Y/n but it was too long. I'll keep Bella for the story, sorry again and enjoy !
I opened my eyes to only be met by a strong white light.
I tried to cover them by putting my hand but couldn't move, as if someone was pushing me deeper into the bed.
After some blinking, I finally could open my eyes without instantly closing them.
But as soon as I did, a nurse came in, looking at me with wide eyes and dropping her papers.
"Someone come here! She's awake!" She finally yelled going back
After some times, 4 doctors came in and started checking me.
"Mrs.Garcia, I'm Dr.Martinez and I'm the person who took care of you. Do you remember what happened?" A tall man said next to me while writing something
I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out as if I forgot how to do so.
A nurse helped me drink some water and I felt much better but still couldn't talk.
I watched him with fear in my eyes
"You forgot what happened before?" I shook my head no, tears filling my eyes
"Mrs.Garcia, you had a major car accident and you've been in a coma for 2 years."
What the fuck.
"And I'm sorry but, it looks like your body has to wait until you can talk again."
Suddenly, the machines started beeping faster and faster as I panicked. I felt my heart beating faster and the last thing I saw, was the doctors trying to calm me.
And everything went dark again.
-
It's been a month since I was getting help to walk again and doing basic stuff but I still couldn't talk nor remember anything.
The doctor let me out of the hospital since I was doing well now. They said that I should get my memory back soon but I don't know when.
My mother came to visit me everyday when she could, of course she had to work but most of time she freed herself to see me.
I walked up to her as she hugged me.
"Oh my baby, finally they let you out!" she said kissing me everywhere on my face
I laughed and entered her car before she drove us home I guess.
After some minutes she parked her car in a hallway and I assumed we were finally home so I went outside but still didn't remember a single thing.
"Does it bring back memories baby?" my mother asked me, a hopeful smile on her face but it quickly faded when I shook my head no
We went in and still nothing. She showed me my room and phone, saying she had to back to work.
"I'm so sorry, I would've stayed with you but I have a lot of business. There's food on the oven if you're hungry or else you can order. I'll be back tonight, love you" she kissed my forehead and left
Now I don't know what I should do.
I went to take a shower since I felt dirty and grabbed my phone when I was done.
I opened instagram, hoping that everything will get back to me when I'll see my friends, if I had some.
When I opened the app, a profile caught my attention
pablogavi
He was famous, damn 13 million followers and he was following me.
I clicked on the message button and saw a conversation from 2020
February 14th 2020
Hola!
Bella?
Answer me please! :)
I miss you pleaseeeee
I'm worried Bella please answer :(
Bella
Bella
Bella
Bella
What's going on?
They said someone got into a car accident on the TV, I'm so scared please answer :(
Oh.
So we were friends.
Hi
After being hesitant, I finally clicked the button send and shut down my phone as I felt hungry.
I ate some leftover sushis and sat down on the couch when I remembered my phone and that boy.
Wow, at least something I remember.
Bella?
You're awake?
I'm coming over right now.
Was all he said, as soon as I read the last text, the bell rang.
I got up and opened the door to reveal a tall boy with fluffy hair and brown eyes, he looked so shocked to see me.
He looked so shocked, his eyes were wide open and his mouth slightly opened too.
He gently put his shaking hand on my cheek as if I would disappear if he was too rough.
"Bella I.. I can't believe you're there.." he marked a pause, looking at me as he was discovering my face again "can I hug you?" he asked
Oh hell no that's way too sweet.
I nodded and he wrapped his arms around my body, letting his head rest on my shoulder.
We stayed in that position for at least 3 minutes before he let me go.
"I have so many things to tell you.."
I looked at him, not knowing how to announce that I don't know who he is.
He closed the door and sat down on the couch, I sat next to him hesitating
"So.. As you know I've always wanted to play for a national team so-" I cut him by putting my hand on his chest, he looked up at me with a confused look
I sighed, grabbing my phone and began to type something
"I'm really sorry but I lost my memory since the accident. Could you please tell me who you are?"
He read the note and his face dropped, his hands were shaking and his eyes filled up with tears.
"Bella.. I.. You really don't remember me? Pablo? Pablito?" he asked me with a sad face which made me look at my feet "Why aren't you saying anything?" he whispered, waiting for an answer but didn't get one
"I also lost my ability of speaking for a while, I'm really sorry."
"Oh." was all he said "I'm sorry, I'm Pablo Gavi and we were bestfriends before your car accident."
Pablo started to explain to me everything.
We were bestfriends since little kids, we used to play football together.
He kept talking to me about the past for hours until I fell asleep on his shoulder without even noticing.
-
It's been a month since I got out of the hospital. Pablo helped me with my memory loss and I met his team and even became friends with Pedro.
Still no words but I feel like I will be able to speak soon.
I was currently putting on my red dress to go out to dinner with Pablo, he wanted to "have some luck" for the match against the Real Madrid by inviting me.
I put on my heels matching with my red dress (imagine whatever you want lol) and went down after grabbing my purse.
I opened the door to find Pablo with a black suit holding flowers in his hands, his face was red.
"I passed by a flower shop and thought about you so.. Here." he said handing me the flowers
I wildly smiled and kissed both of his cheeks which made him blush even harder.
I put the flower on the table before going back to him.
-
We arrived to the restaurant, I got out of the car but what I wasn't expecting was to see a lot of paparazzi around as if they were waiting for us.
Pablo grabbed my waist, holding me close to him as they all took several pictures, making my eyes hurt.
We finally arrived at our table and ordered after some minutes.
Pablo took my hand in his and looked at me deep in the eyes, smiling at me. He's so damn pretty..
"I'm so happy to have you back with me Bella, you don't realize how much I've missed you" I softly smiled at him, my eyes beginning to get watery
If only I could have my memories back.
"You're coming to my game right?" he asked
I nodded
"I wanted to ask you.." he started before letting my hand go "Could you please speak to me? I'd love to hear your voice"
What? But he knows damn well that I can't??
I looked at him with confusion on my eyes before shrugging, making him understand that I really can't.
His eyebrows furrowed.
"Come on Bella, do it for me please?" he begged
What the fuck?
I said nothing and that's when I saw him become angrier.
"Fine, I see." he got up and started to leave, I followed him outside and tried to grab his arm but he shoved my hand, walking angrily to his car
I watched him go, tears running down my cheeks without doing anything. 
What did happen..
I took a taxi to get back home and immediately bumped into my bed, tears still flowing down my face.
I fell asleep without even noticing, shit I cried myself to sleep.
I woke up with a horrible headache and immediately went to take a shower, my eyes were red and puffy and I looked like a mess.
I got out of the shower and checked my phone to see if Pablo sent me anything but no.
Nothing.
I sighed and scrolled when I stopped to see a familiar picture.
It was me and Pablo at the restaurant
"PABLO GAVI SPOTTED WITH A GIRL, HIS NEW GIRLFRIEND?"
I checked the comments, immediately regretting my decision
"She's not even pretty."
"He could've done better"
"Who the fuck does this girl thinks she is?"
"I'll kick her ass"
As I was going to put my phone down, I received a text from Pedri
"Hey, you're coming to our match right? :)"
"Hola! Yes I am, see you!!"
He liked my message, I smiled to myself before starting to prepare myself.
I put on some grey nike shorts with my plain barca jersey and dunk low, adding some jewelry and makeup. I let my hair like that since it was already pretty.
I took my purse and called an uber, Pedri sent me my ticket so I could have access to the locker room and vip places.
-
I arrived to Camp Nou and went to the barca locker room
I entered and everyone looked at me
"Hola Bella!" they all said, some taping my back or shoulder, I waved before going to Pedri who was with Pablo himself
"Bella! I'm glad you came" he said hugging me
I felt a stare on my back but didn't really pay attention.
I stayed with the team a little before heading out to my seat.
"Bye Bella, you better cheer for us!" Dembélé said laughing while waving at me
I went to my seat and waited for the match to begin.
-
It was now half time, Barca was winning 2-0 scored by Gavi and Lewandoski.
Pablo didn't even look at me during the match which made me really sad but oh well, it's not my fault.
After the small break the match began again et this time when Pablo came out he locked his eyes with mine as he was walking.
Damn..
When he stoped looking at me I felt cold, as if his gaze was a blanket.
The referee whistled the start of the match and here we go again.
-
Lewandoski and Gavi approached the goal, the number 9 passed the ball to his teammate and he shot the ball and
GOAL !
I jumped, wanting to yell but of course I couldn't, Pablo managed to pull off his teammates and ran towards my seat, he jumped over the barrier and lifted me up in his arms.
I was agreeably surprised and let him hug me while laughing.
People around the stadium started whistling and yelling "Gavi" which made me laugh even harder.
"I'm so sorry, I wanna apologize in better circumstances but let me just dance this moment right now" he said grabbing my shoulders
I smiled at him and kissed his cheek, making him understand that it was fine.
He smiled one last time before getting back to the field, leaving me smiling like an idiot.
-
The match ended with 3-0 for Barca, I was so proud of them!
I went to the locker room but knows how, got lost.
I looked everywhere and understood that I was in the Madrid's side when I saw the team's logo on a wall.
I tried to go back but suddenly a door opened and someone grabbed my arm to a dark room.
I wanted to scream but nothing came out of my mouth.
I couldn't see anything, I only felt two hands pushing me on the cold ground and some people laughing.
I put my hands everywhere, trying to find the door but it was like the room was endless
The laughs kept growing louder and louder
I suddenly felt something hit my stomach which made me put my hand there
I opened my mouth to scream, hoping something will come out but still nothing
They kept hitting me everywhere and laugh, I was pretty sure my forehead was bleeding and I had bruises on my knees
That's when I felt something hard and cold banging my arm that I screamed as loud as I could as if I knew how to speak again
They all went silent and quickly left before getting caught
Not so long after the door opened and I saw the team coming inside, turning on the light
"Bella!" I recognized Pedri's voice as they all made a circle around me, assuring me by telling me that they took the persons who made that and a medical team was coming
I opened my mouth and the only word I could let out was his name. They looked at each other
"He's dealing with the guys who put you in there"
A tear fell from my eye, not because Pablo wasn't there but because I was in pain. My arm was hurting me so bad and I had a headache.
After some minutes, a medical team arrived and helped me.
-
I was now sitting on my bed, my forehead was opened and my arm broken but at least I'm recovering.
I felt so damn weak, I didn't remember anything at all and I couldn't talk even though I did once.
I suddenly received a text
"Get ready and meet me at the beach by 9."
Pablo! I left him on seen and prepared myself, at least what I could do with one arm working.
-
I arrived at the beach (just imagine a quick outfit, makeup and hairstyle bc I'm too tired to put one lol) and spotted Pablo sitting on the sand watching the water.
I went next to him and sat next to him which made Pablo's head turn to face me.
"Hola"
I quickly waved before getting back to the sea, I don't know if I liked to do that before but this is so relaxing.
"I wanted to talk to you about two things." he started "first of all, the 3 guys that hurt you were arrested, we're waiting for the verdict but you don't have to worry about them" I smiled, happy to know that these hoes were in trouble "And.. there's something that I need to tell you." he seemed nervous
"Look Bella, I'm so sorry for getting mad at you at the restaurant, I was so stressed and didn't realize how much my words could impact. I'm so sorry, I truly apologize." he looked at me straight in the eyes which made my heart skip a beat "I don't care if you won't be able to talk for the rest of your life, I can live with that. I don't care if you don't remember anything, I'll help you build so many good memories. What I'm trying to tell you Bella, is that I think I'm falling in love with you." he said marking some pauses.
I was so shocked, I didn't knew what to say, or at least to do. Tears soon fell down my cheeks, it was happy tears because he's so precious.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, hiding my face on his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around my waist, holding me close.
He then grabbed my chin and pulled our faces close enough to feel his hot breath on my lips
"Can I?" he whispered, I nodded and he gently put his lips on mine
It was soft, not sexual or anything.
Just like a dream.
That's when I felt a strange feeling on my stomach which went up to my brain and everything went back.
Me meeting Pablo, my mother making me food when I got home from school, the night I went to Pablo's first "big" match but ended up crashing with a truck.
Everything went back to me like a flash.
Pablo felt that I was weird and pulled out, looking at me with worried face as I was paralyzed with my eyes wide open.
"Pablo, I remember now." I surprisingly said
He looked at me with wide eyes, realizing that I just spoke
"I remember! I remember everything!" I yelled, hardly getting up with one arm and running around the beach, repeating these 2 words again and again.
Pablo ran towards me and picked me up, making me spin around.
I'm so happy!
He put me down and looked at me
"So you remember everything?" he asked with a smirk
"Yea?"
"Don't you have one specific memory that I might have hid from you?"
I tried to see what he talked about before getting it.
"Oh Pablo! How could I forget?" I said laughing
"Well I cannot blame you" he laughed too
Today is our 15 years anniversary, 15 years since we know each other and 3 years ago, we were there, sharing for both of us, our first kiss.
I cupped his face with my only hand and kissed him deeply, having to get on my tiptoes. He kissed me back and I could feel his smile against my lips, making me do the same.
What a wonderful night!
The world stopped, it was now just me and him and I absolutely loved it
Hi guys! What a long chapter omg I took so long to write it but I absolutely hate it lol :')
Anyways let me know if you liked it bye <3

GILBERT VON OBSIDIAN EVENT STORY....
Tumblr media
PREMIUM.
The True Love of Beauty and the Beast.
translations are not 100% accurate. expect mistakes.
spoilers from gilbert's route.
minors and ageless blogs dni.
My body was weak to begin with, and getting sick was a daily occurrence.
It's better now than when I was a bedridden child, but still——
I hated my body for not being able to overcome even the tiniest pathogens.
Walter: You're going to stay in your room today.
Sudden fevers and headaches are not uncommon, but sometimes they can be so severe, it can get so bad that it’s hard to deceive.
I was so miserable in the mirror that I started to laugh at myself, breathing hard and sweating even though I wasn't exercising.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: No, lend me the restricted area of ​​the medical tower.
Walter:….You're not even going to tell her?
Gilbert: Of course. I don't want her to see me like this.
(I want her to love me.)
(….I want to be remembered by Emma, and I want to stay good looking.)
Even though I knew that disappearing without a word would make Emma anxious, I could think of no other option.
By the way, if anyone other than Emma sees me now, I plan to end that person's life.
Walter: I think it would be cruel not to let her worry about you, Lord Gilbert.
To think I’d listen to the advice from a private doctor, who does not usually use honorifics outside of public occasions.
Gilbert: It's probably too late for that. Because I’m a big villain.
(Even if it's her, I can be as cruel as I want.)
Tumblr media
(That's….what I thought.)
Emma: You know why I went to Mr. Walter, don't you?
In order to punish/discipline Emma who went to see a man other than her lover in the middle of the night,
I covered her mouth from behind in a way that stoked fear and dragged her into a nearby room.
However, Emma remains unmoved, and instead, she is hugging back soothingly.
She was the one who asked questions, but before I knew it, this had been reversed.
Gilbert: So, I'm supposed to forgive you?
Emma: If Lord Gilbert had told me from the beginning, I would not have gone to see him.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: Can’t you understand that I didn't want you to know?
Gilbert: What you did could have gotten anyone else killed, you know?
Emma: But you're not going to kill me, are you?
Gilbert:……
(You know what I'm talking about. You're a mean little rabbit.)
Emma: Do you intend to repeat the same thing in the future?
Gilbert: You get the idea. I'm trying to be a good-looking "man" in front of you.
Emma:…I don't think it's good to hide your condition.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: You are so harsh. Do you really want to see me so weak?
(Even if I'm weak, you're not a doctor, and you can't do anything about it.)
(All you can do is stand by and gawk, can't you?)
Emma: Because I can't do anything if you’re hiding.
Emma: When you’re in pain, I can't offer comfort like rubbing your back or hugging you.
Gilbert:…….
Emma: Lord Gilbert said that you cared for me more than your family......
Emma: I think in terms of "family" we're supposed to support each other.
Emma: Family is the presence that you can rely on instead of hiding when you're not feeling well….
Emma:…At least that's what I think.
(Ah—……)
Tumblr media
(…I didn't see that coming.)
Emma’s way of thinking is something I left behind a long time ago.
When I was a child, I always had either Albert or my mother by my side when I got sick.
They kept rubbing my back and encouraging me until I felt better.
(Am I an idiot…..for saying "little rabbit can't do anything"?)
(I've been saved many times by someone like her, and I'm still alive today…..)
(I've forgotten such an important thing.)
(…..It's been a long time since I've loved anyone…..)
Emma: I want to become a person that Lord Gilbert can rely on. // I want to become a person who can be trusted by Lord Gilbert.
Emma: Only after we have won enough trust and security that we are willing to show our weaknesses….
Emma: I believe when we get married, we can truly be a family.
Gilbert:….I see. So that’s what you think.
I hugged Emma back tightly and strongly.
The more I thought I loved her, the more painful it was for me.
(To be honest, I can't say anything.)
(….I used to have a family, so even if I didn’t like it, I do understand.)
(I didn’t trust Emma enough to be okay with showing her my weaknesses.)
I gently stroked Emma’s back as she began to cough from too much hugging, but my thoughts were elsewhere.
(…..I don't like it, I can't——)
(Am I afraid of the little rabbit?)
I was aware that I was afraid to trust Emma because I liked her so much.
But I had no idea that my instincts were so frightened.
(I'll trust her enough to let her see me in my weakest moment, and then when Emma betrays me.…)
(Also...if she ever disappears on her own just like Albert and my mother did......)
Tumblr media
(I can't help but hesitate when I think about it.)
(I'm the one who decided to believe that Emma’s love was real, not fake.)
Gilbert:…..I love you.
Gilbert: I want to look good for you, and there are things I don't want to show.
Gilbert: But you're right, that's the sign of trust issues.
Gilbert: I thought I believed in you, but I didn’t believe in you enough.
Gilbert: It made me laugh to realize how cowardly I was.
What spilled out unconsciously was self-mockery.
(Really, I'm so cruel.)
(That I’d say I love you and then I don't believe in you without a second thought.)
Even against such a villain, Emma smiled kindly.
Despite the fact that I had just hugged her so hard I could have killed her, her expression was calm.
Emma:….It could be any day. // Someday is fine.
Emma: Someday, when I am truly at peace with you, Lord Gilbert….I want to be a part of your family.
Emma’s gentle kisses soothed and calmed my heart.
(……..)
(….Not until I'm a real person again.) // (….Not until I'm truly human again.)
The period of being a trampling beast is long, and I have forgotten all my sensibilities as a human.
The road is long, far and endless, but I still dream of such a day.
(While I can be cruel to you, we can never truly be a family. I understand that.)
(But you know, I can't afford to wait for a future that I don't know when it will come.)
Gilbert:….Hehe, did you really think I'd give up after you said that?
Emma:…..Eh.
Gilbert: If we can't have a wedding, how about an engagement ceremony?
Emma: Engagement, ceremony…..?
Gilbert: After all, you don't want to leave the dress I’ve prepared hanging, do you?
Gilbert: It was supposed to be a wedding dress, but let's call it an engagement dress.
(I've wanted to formally connect you to Obsidian for a long time.)
(Marriage would have been ideal, but even an engagement would be a shackle for Emma, so I'll compromise.)
Gilbert: As you've probably guessed by now, someone like me wants to live, but we never know when death will occur.
Gilbert: Sickness, assassination, or at least death is much closer than the average person.
Gilbert: So, you know. I want to live what I want now while I can.
Gilbert: There's no guarantee that you'll be able to do what you want tomorrow.
(Even if I died, I wouldn't let you marry another man.)
(…..I don't intend to die actively, but I always want to think about what to do in case of an emergency.)
(Whether I’m alive or not, you'll always be mine.)
Gilbert: Your only choice is to be with me or be forced to be with me, okay?
Emma:….I understand.
(Oh, she nodded more easily than I expected.)
(There's no way the little rabbit can't understand what a formal engagement means.)
Emma: But can you give me a few days?
Gilbert: Ehh—……do you even have to prepare mentally for the engagement ceremony?
Emma:….Didn’t you say something like, "Because I don't want anyone to see you in a dress"?
Tumblr media
Gilbert: Ahaha, you know me well, don't you?
(I don't plan on inviting anyone to the wedding. The beautifully dressed little rabbit belongs only to me.)
Emma: Even if there are no guests, I still want to prepare something. So, please.
Emma cupped my cheeks in her hands and kissed me more deeply than before.
(….I don't think she realizes it. She has been kissing me nonchalantly since the beginning, but I can't help but notice that her face is turning red.)
Gilbert: I didn’t know you learned how to beg like this.
(She's so cute that she seems to listen to everything I say.)
(Well, I'll wait for you anyway, since I know what you're thinking.)
The time period given by Emma’s "begging" was 3 days.
In the meantime, Emma seems to have made all the necessary preparations, and their engagement ceremony went off without a hitch——
Tumblr media
(I knew Emma was going to give me something, didn't I?)
(But I never expected to receive a tie.)
(Emma personally embroidered a rose on it for me….)
━━FLASHBACK━━
Gilbert:….Did you know, little rabbit? They say a necktie has the meaning of wanting to bind your partner.
Emma: I know, that's why I chose it.
Emma: Just as Lord Gilbert always binds me, I have no intention of letting you go either.
Emma: Don't think you can die so easily.
Gilbert:…..
━━FLASHBACK ENDS━━
(I was thrilled by that one.)
(…. I didn't expect the little rabbit to propose to me, I was so thrilled I thought I was going to die.)
Even now, back in my room with Emma in her black dress, I still hold the tie in my hand.
It was hard to let go of it, but it was also inconvenient to keep it with me.
Gilbert: Hey, little rabbit. What do you think we should do after the engagement ceremony?
Emma: Are there still rituals in Obsidian?
Gilbert: Yes, of course. I don't think it's specific to Obsidian.
(If it were a traditional engagement ceremony, the unveiling party and silly greetings would last until the evening….)
(Well, it would be a waste of time.)
Gently placing the necktie embroidered with black roses on the table and I open my both arms——
Gilbert: Do you have plenty of time today, Emma?
Emma:……
Emma:…..!
(Ah, she noticed.)
Emma, who was blatantly looking away, apparently did not expect this to happen.
Emma: But it's noon now...isn't it?
Gilbert: Oh, do you prefer at night? If that's the case, let’s wait until nightfall.
Emma: To flirt after the night comes…..
Gilbert: You don't like it that much?
Emma:……
Tumblr media
Gilbert: I'm sad. I want to dote on my fiancé right now, but it seems you don’t want to.
Gilbert: Aah, I think I'm going to sulk. I wonder which country I should conquer to relieve myself.
Emma:….There’s no way I didn’t like it!
Emma jumps into my chest like a little rabbit, her face bright red.
Emma: But I thought this kind of thing was supposed to be done at night……
Emma:….Um……
(….? You're acting a little differently than usual.)
Although she feels a slight sense of discomfort, she doesn't seem to dislike it, so I carried Emma to the bed.
When I carefully lowered her down as if I was handling a fragile object, a long dress with a long hem spread out like petals on top of the black sheet.
(It's all black and the dress blended in, but it shows off the skin.)
━━FLASHBACK━━
Gilbert: So beautiful and pretty that I want to attack you right now.
Emma:….Because Lord Gilbert has prepared this dress for me.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: Oh no, it's not that the dress is cute, it's you who are cute, you see?
━━FLASHBACK ENDS━━
(....Emma looks so pretty even when her dress is in disarray.)
When she closed her mouth as if to express her rising impulse, Emma looked like she wanted to say something.
Gilbert: What is it?
Emma:…We're already engaged, aren't we?
Gilbert: That’s right.
I intertwined my fingers with Emma’s.
Shining on the ring finger of her left hand is a ring with a single obsidian rose that was given to her at the engagement ceremony——
It was a proof to connect to Obsidian for eternity.
(Externally, we're more than a fiancée, we're a couple…..)
(Well, it's also delicious to have a secret relationship just between the both of us that other people don't know about.)
Emma: So can you forgive me for being a little disrespectful?
Gilbert: What are you talking about? Disrespecting to me only means that you don't love me anymore.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: Other than that, I'll let you off the hook for everything else you do, because it's not disrespectful. // Anything else is not disrespectful, so I'll forgive you for everything.
(Only for you, of course.)
I smiled gently, but Emma took a hesitant pause.
Her eyes were downcast, she was silent, and the next time our gazes met, somehow her face had turned as red as a rose.
(What is it? As expected, I can not predict it so suddenly.)
As I patiently waited for her to speak, Emma brought her face close to my ear as if she had made up her mind——
Emma:…….Gil.
Tumblr media
Gilbert:…..!
Emma: Ah...I've heard before that you want me to call you by your nickname……
(I did say that.)
━━FLASHBACK━━
Gilbert: That's it. As proof I’ve gotten closer to little rabbit, you can call me Gil from now on.
Emma: I can’t.
Gilbert: Eeeh….I thought friends do call each other by nicknames.
━━FLASHBACK ENDS━━
(…..But you've never called me by my nickname before.)
(No, you're not the only one...all of my friends, except one, didn't call me Gil.)
Emma: I want to get to know Lord Gilbert better. So, at least when it's just the two of us——
Gilbert: You said "Lord Gilbert" again, didn't you?
Emma:….I’m trying my best.
(Aah...I was such a simple man.)
(Just being called "Gil" made me so happy that my head almost melted…..)
Although it is only a term of endearment, but it is the proof that she sees me as an individual person, not as a member of the royal family.
It may be her own first step toward becoming a family.
(I guess….that's what happiness is all about.)
(I'm sure you would have been happier if you hadn't met me. But...I couldn't be happier.)
(That's why….I didn't want to let you go even if it killed me, I'm sorry?)
Emma: Gil……
(…..Apart from that……)
(I’m overwhelmed.….)

Vermin (work in progress)
I.
My body is a rotten animal. My bicycle is left under the water. I haven't got to understand myself yet and I still came here to kill. I can pass through surfaces easily as my self is a semi-transparent layer. Dead water air and the stagnant sea. There was some paint on these hands when i found them.
The air is all saturated with smoke. I know you can see me when you look out your window. It doesn't really mean anything. Like peat soil, I'm standing in the way of the road. Cars look at me. And I forget what I'm supposed to do. Weren't you like this when you were still in your body? Some alcohol would change you, I can feel in this stomach now the way that you were. Your phone got destroyed in the water so there's no one else for now. The earth will tilt beneath us when I get sober. So you recover me. I found myself in dreams like you. The fallen trees in the forest that were incapable of decay. It's too late. The trees were all turned into ash, a fine white powder, while those grotesque tessellations of smoke replace their plumage.
The city used to be surrounded with trees. It was a part of the world. I don't know what these words still mean when I remember them. You take control at times I get too calm to follow death. Attached together, we're everything attached together. I can't really understand what you want except that missing a thumb like this is spiraling.
Your body is inconvenient. I went to your apartment when I found you and I pulled apart your strange collections. It seems you were in love, from the way that you didn't live in your room for a while. The plant there was dying. Its vines were all turning blond and brackish strands of hair, like pitiful handfuls can be clutched from a scalp. Your life was getting dismal with love.
I think that I came here to kill someone. There's signal interference. The pistol you kept in the closet, I took that out the first night and we walked around the city together. You start to understand yourself when it's losing connection. I was still damp from the fall. Still walking around there wrenched and bloody. You don't look them in the eye when there is smoke coming out of your clothes. Black smoke fills the sky at night and it turns back to white and red in the morning.
I keep walking home to your hole in the floor. The place you were disappearing. You're gone now, except those chemical reactions and you occasionally wake in the night. I need to keep drinking so I can stay in control of this terrible dream. You look at the ceiling or into the mess of green skeletons outside and keep thinking it won't be like this forever.
And everyone knows it's too late for pollution. You may as well eat the pigeons off the street. You may as well eat the rats and arthropods before the water rises. There's someone at the door. The window is broken so it's very cold in here. We talk in the surface of water that your face reflects and you try to explain yourself sometimes. I told you that we're going to kill. It doesn't seem to bother you much. It's just okay that we are going to kill someone. The world got to be like that while you were alive.
A clot of hair in the drain, that's how I describe it. I need to be inebriated to float back on the surface. The scraps of dead souls that can molder together. Spaces between, congealed tension and reconstitution. You understand it if you don't. No one thing or another. Those particles of smoke who pulled you out of the water when you died. It's not as simple as that. There isn't death.
You walk around with the body when I can't get numb anymore. He was at the grocery store again and it felt like falling under the water. The hammer from the wind that dragged you off the bridge. It was the grating in the middle that felt treacherous before. You get used to some things and then they kill you. I can't hate you like you wanted me to, and you can never want to be in love with me.

Part Six
I am SO sorry at the amount of time this took me to write. I am feeling inspired and excited to complete this series though, so watch. this. space. I also recommend listening to 'I Can See You' (TV) (FTV) whilst reading this because it is essentially that song that has fuelled this chapter.
Word Count: 2,746
"What's wrong? What's happened?"
I swing the door of the recording studio open harshly. My face feels flushed as I stand there, breathing heavily. Matty called me about twenty minutes ago, telling me to get to the studio ASAP in the name of an 'emergency'.
"It's fine, Ross has sorted it."
It's been six days since Ross left me in the middle of the pouring rain. No text message, no phone call, nothing. My stomach drops at the mention of his name, I've almost tried to pretend that he doesn't exist since that night.
"Seriously?" I huff, angry now.
"Yeah, it was just something with the software, could've lost everything." He says flippantly, glancing at me as i look at him in disbelief. "It's sorted now, though. Ross to the rescue, yet again."
I scoff at his choice of words, shaking my head and turning to leave.
"Oi," Matty's voice calls from behind me, "Why haven't you been in the studio this week?"
"I've just been busy." I turn to him, clearing my throat as I do so.
"Too busy for us?" He raises his eyebrows. "What, is it a guy? Is that why you've been acting weird?"
"No! No, it's not a guy." I feel my cheeks flush and wonder whether Ross has told him about our kiss the other night. I immediately squash that thought as I remember his attitude towards the whole thing, acting like it was a sin to have feelings, never mind a kiss.
"Then what is it? One minute you're really into it, the next you're barely answering my texts?"
"I'm sorry, okay?" I throw my arms in the air dramatically.
"It's not that you need to apologise, we're just worried about you. Me and the boys, I mean."
I swallow heavily, shifting my eyes around the room.
"Look, we're playing a show tomorrow night - please come." I look to Matty and see his dark eyes pleading, and I realise that I can't let some dickhead guy get in the way of what is not only a great work opportunity, but also a great friendship. "It's in Brixton, I can sort you out a car and everything."
"Yeah, I'll be there."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My palms are sweaty as I get ready, sat in front of the mirror. Ross and I haven't even remotely been near each other in over a week, yet those few seconds play like a stuck record in my head.
The way his stubble grazed against my soft skin. His thumbs pressed into my sides, burning through the fabric of my shirt, heat spreading across my body like wildfire. His aftershave, his lips, his tongue, him.
I snap myself out of my daydream, cheeks flushing at the way my stomach tosses and turns at the mere thought of him. I shouldn't feel like this - I should be angry, I should never want to see him ever again. After his outburst at the horrifying reality of our kiss, he disappeared, turning around and heading back down the road we'd walked up, ignoring the call of his name. He left me stood there, middle of the night, rain coming down in literal sheets, and didn't even bother to call me the next day, or the day after that?
I take a deep breath and gather myself. The car Matty booked arrives in twenty minutes - just enough time to down a shot of tequila and give myself a pep talk. I look in the mirror and sigh. Having had a panic when realising I had twenty four hours to gather a concert outfit, I'd settled on my usual - mini skirt, band t-shirt, dad's old leather jacket that is arguably just too oversized. With my hair pinned up and bangs curled, I line my lips and add a wing to my eyes, finally feeling ready.
The car beeps it's horn outside and I hurry, my boots heavy on the pavement as I rush down the steps.
I breathe deeply as we round the corner to the venue, nerves prickling up my back. Swallowing heavily, I thank the driver and get out of the car, my feet feeling heavy as I walk towards the entrance. It's around the back, but I can already hear the bustle of the queues around the front of the arena, even hours before the boys go on themselves.
"Wow, hello stranger!" George teases as I walk down the hallway, him coming towards me from the opposite direction. I roll my eyes in response and accept his hug.
"Nice to see you too." I tease.
"No, genuinely, did you disappear off of the face of the Earth? Abducted by aliens, maybe?"
"Give over." I laugh, following him into the green room. My eyes are already two steps ahead of my brain, scanning the room for him. "I've just been busy."
"Fair enough." He smiles. "Do you want a drink?"
"Yeah, go on then."
We sit and chat for a while before the other boys arrive, enjoying the quiet before the chaos.
"You know, I was talking to Ross earlier-"
My eyes widen at the words as they leave his mouth, and somehow become impossibly wider as he enters the room.
He's smiling sweetly, dimples and all, and I hate the way my eyes are glued to him. Hann, Jamie, Polly and Matty follow him in, waving sarcastically as he comes in and throws his coat across the sofa.
I stand up to greet him, his arms wrapping tightly around my shoulders.
"I'm glad you came." He says as he pulls away and I nod, not sure whether I feel the same in the moment.
I meet Ross' gaze for a second and he gives me a nod of sorts, and for the first time since that night, I feel angry. At him, at what he did, at the fact that he thinks he doesn't owe me an apology. I blink harshly and look away, inhaling sharply and making my way over to the bar cart. Pouring myself a strong drink, I gather my emotions and listen to the deep rumbling of his voice behind me.
"Yeah, it's packed outside already, loads of people." He says to George.
I sit on the sofa, legs crossed and eyes fixed on my phone as I scroll through meaningless, empty Instagram posts. There's a tension in the room, the kind that makes the air feel sticky and hot, and I shift uncomfortably in my seat.
My eyes flick up and he's looking at me. He doesn't look away. I hold his stare for a few seconds, looking at him through my lashes as he takes a sip of his beer, cursing myself as I give in and look back down at my phone. I listen as he talks to Jamie, and it's like someone's sucked the air out of my lungs as memories of that night flash into my mind. I stand up sharply, making my way towards the door. It's busy in the green room now, lots of family and friends chatting away, and I pray that the busy-ness of the room has made my exit discreet.
"Everything okay?" Matty's hand grips my forearm gently, his brow furrowed.
"Yeah, just going for some air." I smile, nodding lightly.
My boots land heavily on the halls as I make my way towards the exit, weaving my way through the stage hands and guests busying their ways around.
I feel a cold hand on my arm, a gasp escaping my lungs as i'm pulled down a corridor. Instinctively, I try and pull away, but the firm grip has other ideas.
His eyes are dark, looking down at me with concern.
"It's me, it's just me."
"For fuck's sake, Ross!" I hit his arm, taking deep breaths and placing a hand on my chest as it falls and rises. He just watches me and I shake my head. "What? What is this?" I gesture around us.
"We need to talk." He says lowly, his eyes constantly looking to the hallway.
"Do you think so? Yeah, maybe you're right, maybe we do need to talk after you left-"
"Stop shouting." He says blankly, his voice still quiet.
"I cannot believe this." I laugh sarcastically and attempt to leave, but again, his fingertips find my arm.
"Please."
I meet his eyes and they look sad. Like, genuinely sad. I feel the anger in my stomach start to dissipate, sighing as I tilt my head at him.
"Are you going to tell me what happened, then?" I give in, folding my arms across my chest.
He looks both ways down the hallway, double-checking that no one will hear the criminal thing he did. I roll my eyes as he does so.
"I panicked."
I look at him blankly. "That's it? That's all you've got to say, you panicked?"
"Yeah, I panicked. I worried what the boys would say, I panicked that i would look like a fucking idiot if you didn't feel the same. Yeah, I panicked, Iris." He raises his eyebrows at me and I feel guilty for a second before I remember how he made me feel.
"So you just left me? Ross, I could have been killed, it was like 2AM, and you just left me! That's not an excuse!"
"I know, and I'm sorry!"
"I'm not arguing with you about this."
"Iris, this isn't an argument, I'm explaining what happened."
"Explaining? Don't you think I deserve a proper apology?"
"You do, and I've said I'm sorry. Iris, please, just listen to my side of things." He looks down at me and runs a hand through his hair, his chest rising underneath his t shirt as he rests his other hand on his hip. It takes everything in me to keep the blush from creeping into my cheeks, because despite how angry I am right now, he's still so hot.
"Go on, then." I put my hands on my hips and look at him expectantly, the eye contact between us making me blush no matter how hard i try not to.
"I said all those things to you, and I worried that I'd said too much and that everything was going to go up in flames. You work really well with the band, and I didn't want me to ruin everything." he looks down at his feet for a second. "I just... I'm sorry I left you there. I really am. It was a really shit thing to do, and if I could go back, I'd change things, and-"
"Well, you can't Ross." I sigh. "But thank you. For apologising, I mean, and explaining, i guess."
"Are we okay, Iris?" He looks at me with those big, puppy dog eyes, and if organs could melt, i think my heart would be in a puddle. "I know we were never really good, but are we okay, at least?"
"Yeah, we're okay." I nod, pursing my lips and kicking the floor with the toe of my boot. He nods in approval, awkwardly stood in front of me as the silence grows tense again. "Was I really that bad of a kisser?"
He scoffs at me and smiles, and despite everything that's happened between us, I can't help but grin. "No, you definitely weren't, Iris."
My cheeks flush bright red and I laugh awkwardly.
"Okay, I'm going to leave now." I nod and he smiles at me, and I wish I could just dip into his mind and know what he's thinking as our gazes connect, unable to tear away from each other. "I'm leaving now."
I spend the evening in the green room with the boys' families as they get ready to go on stage. Someone comes to tell us they're going on in five, so we make our way to the stage.
Walking down the hallway, I see the boys heading in the opposite direction, presumably through a different entrance.
It's like slow motion. I meet Ross' tall figure - he's wearing a white shirt, the sleeves rolled up halfway, hair up, black trousers on. He maintains the eye contact as he gets closer, and as he brushes past me, I feel our fingertips meet. Gentle, cold, soft, electric. It's like touching an open flame, yet I don't pull my hand away. I can't breathe at the proximity of him, our chests close as he turns to the side to ease past me in the small hallway.
Glancing up at him, there's an unfamiliar look on his face - a smirk. His lips curve upwards cockily as he passes me, and I work hard to turn away from him.
The entire show goes by in a blur - a blur of excitement, desire, tension. The band sound great, and even perform a snippet of a song we've been working on, but he is all I can look at, tall and broad as he skilfully plays away. Seeing him in his element makes me feel a different level of attraction to him.
As the show ends and the crowd screams for them, he meets my gaze at the side of the stage, that same smile appearing. I cheer, whistling for him and he laughs lightly. I smile to myself as I realise that this is truly the first friendly interaction we've had, if friendly is what you can call this. The show ends and the crowds filter out, everyone backstage congratulating the band and bottles of champagne being popped. I try to distract myself from his looming presence in the room, his mind clearly elsewhere as he chats with people from the label.
My eyes follow him as he makes his way towards the door, tall and strong, excusing himself politely as he curbs around people. When he reaches the door, i watch as he searches the room, finally meeting my gaze and cocking his head. I inhale sharply, blushing both because of the fact that I was staring, but also the intimacy of his gesture.
I do as I'm told - I excuse myself from the conversation with Matty's aunties and leave the room. He slips into a room further down the hallway, and I notice that he leaves the door open.
"Ross, what-"
The second I enter the room, he's closing the door behind us and I'm pressed up against it. His hands are either side of my head, his face impossibly close to mine, and I feel my body go like putty under his presence. My lips part as his eyes are trained on my face, and the fire is lit in my stomach.
"I thought about you while I was out there." His deep voice murmurs. "The whole time."
"The whole time?"
He hums in reply and I squeeze my legs together. He notices and I blush.
"I thought we were okay, Ross."
"We'll never be okay, Iris."
I subconsciously move my hands up his shirt, watching as he closes his eyes. He moves his head to the side for a moment, almost like he's thinking about the pro's and con's of this situation.
"They don't have to know, if that's what you're worried about." I say quietly, my mind clouded in the darkness of the room.
He looks back to me and shakes his head lightly. "They'll know." He huffs, not moving. "I need you, Iris."
I scratch the hair at the nape of his neck lightly and hear the low groan escape his throat.
I can't take it anymore - I stand on my tiptoes and press my lips to his, and it's like taking a cold shower after a hot day. His lips on mine are relieving.
"Are you sure?" He mumbles against me as his hands move underneath my shirt, rubbing and circling at the soft skin at my waist.
"I'm sure." I nod, probably seeming a little desperate.
His hands trail down my thighs, pulling the tiny mini skirt even higher if possibly. The groans and hums that leave his mouth have me reeling.
I push him backwards, his knees hitting the sofa behind him and forcing him to sit down. His eyes are impossibly dark, clouded with desire and needy as I stand in front of him.
"You're not going to leave me in the middle of this, are you?" I tease as I move to straddle him using my thumb to wipe away the lipstick smeared in his cheek.
"Never." he murmurs as his lips find my neck, forcing my eyes shut.

a/n: something. i had to post something. (i'm halfway through season three, any requests can only be made in the timeline of season one + two + three! please, no spoilers! (i'll cry.) i wanted to write something, literally anything, to get the creative wheels turning. this is kind of just a starting point for me. italics - clay; normal - ...anyone that isn't clay.
summary: how you and clay became you and clay.
warnings: mostly fluff, some depressive/suic!d@l thoughts (nature of clay), it's 13rw... let's face it, the show tackles some dark stuff.
pairing: fem!reader x clay jensen
word count: 0.79k+ words
Tumblr media
-after hannah, clay wasn't great at putting himself out there, especially when it came to girls.
-the biggest thing he'd be worried about was girls. once hannah passed, the main reason he was having trouble was because he was trying to find another hannah.
-clay couldn't help but compare everyone to her.
-it was funny though, because the second he saw you, it was like; who's hannah? the world of "before hannah" and "after hannah" was gone.
-in that moment, when you'd first locked eyes, anything revolving the mere thought of hannah disappeared. he didn't have to think about her, and as selfish as it feels to him, it was refreshing. relieving.
-and you know what? he loved that feeling. he loved the feeling of cloud nine.
-sure, plently of times he'd considered asked you out. and then the thought would hit him like a brick; he's never even said a word to you. how's he going to ask you anything at all, if he can't even utter yet a simple "hi" to you?
-trust me, he tries. clay tries a whole lot. but he'll be inches away, and freeze up.
-part of him is afraid to love again, because what if everything ends up like hannah? like one big repeat? he's not sure if he can live through that again. it was hard enough the first time around.
-eventually, he gives up, choosing to admire you from afar.
-it's luck for him, however, when you're the one to break the ice.
-he remembers it clearly, how you lean over during english lit.
-"clay? do you have any idea what we're doing. because... yeah, i wasn't listening." / "huh? what? oh, uh, yeah- yeah, it's chapters 12-15, questions 1-10."
-he's panicking. you're talking to him.
the second time, you're complaining about your math grade to a friend. he's not even thinking when he blurts out:
-"i can help you. like, tutor you or whatever. i'm pretty good at it." / "wait, really? like, for real?" / "sure."
-clay's non-chalant on the outside, not so much on the inside.
-you seem happy, and instantly, he is too.
-the first thing he does is head into his room, kicking justin out.
-"yeah, okay, well, the adoption papers strongly disagree." / "please? y/n's coming over! i need this to go well." / "y/n? no shit?" / "no shit."
-justin gives in, he's clay's number hypeman anyways. justin lingers in the main house, and then finally wanders to find jessica. that's not clay's concern right now, though.
-it's his room. or more specifically, his shared room. he's freaking out, he hasn't been this nervous since the trial, as he shoves all - i mean all - of justin's crap into the closet, then cleaning up his own.
-he hesisitates over his akr comics, before shoving them in a drawer.
-clay showers, it won't hurt, and spritzes on some of justin's more... masculine colongne.
-half an hour later, there's a knock at the door. he's giddy as he answers it, yet nervous as well.
-"nice house-shed." / "thanks."
-he hopes it a compliment. you're nodding in approval, taking in his room. (shared room.) the little trinkets and trophies.
-and the one akr comic he left out.
-"oh, you read these?" / "y-yeah. i mean, yes. i do. wait- do you?" / no, but my little brother does."
-it's incredible how the conversation flows so smoothly after that.
-after a while, you and him got close. suddenly, it wasn't just study/tutoring sessions, it was hangouts at your place and his.
-everyone thought the two of you were dating, starting with justin.
-he would just be talking to his brother, and it would slip in.
-"how's it going between you and y/n?" / "what's going?" / "dude, you still haven't said anything?" / "there's nothing to say."
-or between his parents:
-"clay, honey, how's your girlfriend? you should bring her over for dinner!" / "we aren't dating, mom." / "really?"
-and more frequently, at school. everyone just assumed you and him were together, and at some point, you stopped correcting them.
-"hey, man, your girlfriend left her jacket in class." / "i'll give it to her."
-somewhere along the line, the difference between dating and not-dating blurred, to the point where you weren't even sure what was going on.
-"hi, not-boyfriend." / "hey, not-girlfriend."
-^became a regular occurence.
-"should we just date? y-you know, because everyone thinks we are... so... it's like-" / "sure." / "okay. wait, really?" / "yeah, why not? i'm suprised it took you this long. i'm literally always flirting with you." / "oh."
-like i said, clay isn't always the best with girls. it doesn't matter though, because you have enough game for the both of them.

GOTHAMS BRAT 4
"How old are you?" Bruce asked. Danny scowled at the question.
"He's sixteen, and our resident genius" Stark said ruffling Danny's hair.
"Stop it" Danny said as he fixed his hair. Both he and Stark knew Danny enjoyed being teased.
"How did he come to work for you?" Bruce asked.
Having a smart engineer in the young justice league wouldn't be a bad idea.
However, he wasn't even close to accepting an idea like that yet.
"Just waltzed right in here one day and applied for an interview" Stark said.
"I remember passing that interview with flying colors" Danny said.
"Impressed me for sure" Stark said.
Bruce peered at the car.
"These modifications were done by you alone?"
Danny seemed offended by the assumption.
"Yes" he said testily.
Bruce pressed a button and the car disappeared becoming a blurry spot that blended into the background.
"It does other things" Danny said, "the old circuit board and electric chip that made the car what it is, were a little old"
He explained.
"So I stalled some ones that I made. They are unhackable, even for me. Your new circuit board can't be damaged by anything lesser in danger than a bomb." Danny said.
"And the outside is armored, like before, but more reinforced."
Bruce nodded.
"This is good work..."
"His name is Danny" Stark said smiling proudly at Danny.
"If you could tell your parents to give me a call, I have few things I could use an expert like you for"
All the color drained from Danny's face.
He looked at Stark unsure of what to say.
"He doesn't have parents" Stark said.
Bruce froze. He turned to see Danny's petrified eyes. His face was ghostly white.
"I-Im so sorry, I am aware of what that's like. Here's my card, I'll call you if I need you" Bruce said handing Danny the card.
As soon as Bruce had left Danny crumpled the card and threw it away.
"Danny, please don't be angry at Bruce-"
Danny stormed off into the design room and shut the door. The sound of a click told Stark that Danny had locked the door.
Stark nodded sadly and let the kid have his alone time.
Danny aggressively sketched blueprints for his suit. The helmet helped take his mind off the rude rich prick.
He had dealt with rich guys before, he could do it again!
Danny powered through the tired feeling weighing him down.
Batman came in the garage ready to pick up his car. It was truly amazing. That kid was amazing.
Bruce looked around the garage when  the crumpled cars caught his eye. The kid clearly didn't like Bruce at all.
He wondered what he thought about Batman.
A small glow of a lamp directed Batman to a room titled product design.
He tried the door nob but it was  locked.
"Want some help?" A voice asked in a whisper.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What hurt my heart most was when Suguru left Jujutsu High with ambitions that all his friends didn't agree with.
But I always had an eye on him. I knew where he was, and one horrible night, I wandered to his hideout, what I had just witnessed replaying in my mind repeatedly.
"What are you doing here?"
There was no light by the door, unable to see my face, but knew it was me, Suguru standing before me with his arms crossed.
"I'm not here to fight you or anything," I mumbled, staring at my hands that were shaking, never thinking I'd say such a thing, but explaining simply, "I'm here to join you, Suguru."
"Join me?" He laughed, stroking his chin as he wondered, "Why the sudden change of heart?"
"My p-pupil," I stuttered, and the light from inside shone on me, showing the blood covering my hands and clothes; I began to cry as I spat out, "She's dead. I-I can't take it anymore. I'm so sick of this cursed world."
Finally seeing the petrified look in my eyes, he grew silent, never seeing me in such a state, concern in his eyes as I stared into his soul:
"I'm done. I only want to purify this forsaken world."
"C'm here," He guided me softly, taking me inside. Despite my state, I was dead serious, and he knew that.
Going straight to the shower, we didn't share many words, but he gave me some clothes to sleep in.
After what happened to my pupil, I needed some time to myself. It wasn't the first time I lost someone I cared about, but this hurt most. That girl was like my child; losing her cut deep in my heart and soul.
I didn't even know how many days I spent in some room, in dead silence. I did not bother to eat, but I remember waking up, the sun shining extra bright, and something about it made me feel less depressed.
I spent the day outside in a garden, needing to touch some grass, enjoy the warmth of the sun and as the sun began to set, I heard behind me.
"Oh, you've finally come out of your room."
Nodding, I found Suguru in the corner of my eye, his touch comforting as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder:
"Care to join me for dinner, old friend?"
"That'd be nice," I whispered, looking into his eyes and seeing my dear friend whom I was once inseparable from.
All I wanted now was to have that bond again, his smile managing to spread to mine:
"Shall we go then?"
Holding my hand as we went out to dinner. It was nice and quiet, and just a little chatting made the darkness disappear.
I finally understood why he chose his path, and I was ready to follow his lead. When we returned, I was laughing and truly smiling with him.
I was going to say good night and go to my room, knowing we needed to have an important talk, but wanting to save that for tomorrow, but he took my hand:
"Come with me for a moment?"
"Sure," I followed, going with him into his room and sitting by the bed as he undressed his upper half.
"You're dealing with many emotions and just need to know. Are you sure that you want to do this?" I understood that he only wanted to be sure, especially since this happened so suddenly.
"I'm sure," I explained, looking at my hands and having a flashback to when I lost my pupil, "I don't want to feel this pain ever again."
Starting to shake again, tears began running down my cheeks, and trying to take those tears away, Suguru came to take my hands, standing me up to look into my eyes:
"Trust me, Y/N. My means may seem extreme, but they benefit the world. Once we achieve our goal, no one will ever experience the pain we have. You'll never feel this way ever again."
"I trust you, Suguru," I cried softly, desperately needing a hug, and the squeeze of his arms around me made me feel so much better, holding that hug as he wiped away my tears:
"Don't cry, Y/N. We'll be seeing better days from here on."
"I'm so glad that I have you," Resting my head against his shoulder, my heart opened up, "I've missed you dearly."
"It feels like it's been so long," He hummed, nuzzling his nose against mine, "But we don't have to worry about that anymore."
My breath got stuck in my chest when his lips found mine, a soft kiss turning into so much more as I kissed him back, our thoughts in rhythm as we undressed.
Barely parting lips, I crawled backward with him on top of me, a lingering moan pouring out of me as he started kissing my chest, two fingers feeling my slick folds, slowly circling my entrance before easing in.
I couldn't remember the last time I felt like I was in such a beautiful world, spreading a leg out wider, Suguru chuckling with his mouth closed around my nipple, plucking it with his tongue as he asked:
"You can take me, yeah?"
He indeed had size, and he was all I wanted, stroking his hair and cooing to him:
"Please."
Fixing my legs, he looked so handsome and godly above me, squeezing my thigh as he eased his cock into me.
"My, my," He hummed, grinning at how much my volume increased, starting to roll his hips from slow to a quicker speed, "Squeezing me so much already."
"I've always wanted you," I said mindlessly, squeezing his forearms, his grin growing and meeting chest to chest.
"Oh, I'm making your dreams come true, am I?" He kissed, my hand getting tangled in his hair, nodding back, pressing my lips harder as his hips burned sweetly against mine, then started banging against him.
After so much, my head dropped, no air in my lungs, a swirl in my head from it, burning up with his body glued to mine, trembling despite how tense my body was.
"S-Suguru," His name was the only word I could form. I felt my walls clench, not realizing how overloaded I was, till his tip smacked the edge of my cervix, screaming out his name so loud the heavens could hear, "Suguru!"
"Oh fu-"He groaned, chuckling lustfully as I soaked his thighs, "Ahh, my dear."
Panting against the skin of my collarbone, he kept fucking me through my orgasm but slowed down with each thrust, burying himself and saving that feeling before pulling out and pouring on my stomach.
"Oh my god," I heaved out, opening my eyes to see him resting on my chest, smiling up at me:
"Did I live up to your fantasies?"
I laughed at his tease but appreciated that he lifted my spirit, tilting his head up to kiss:
"Exceeded them, actually."
