God bless the absolute angel who brought Sarah Miller into your life. She somehow convinced her dad to let you stay with them over spring break after your boyfriend locked you out of your shared apartment and then refused to answer the phone or let you in. Sweet, empathetic, and dependable Sarah was at your apartment minutes after you called her and didnât have to say much to her dad to let him allow you to stay.
And God bless the absolute she devil who made Joel Miller and put him in close proximity with you. You have a boyfriend, maybe, you canât be sure, but you do know you have it HARD for Joel Mother Fucking Miller. Heâs exactly the type of man that would classify as a DILF, and you donât even consider yourself into older men. But Joel isnât older, heâs experienced and charming and every single thing he does seems to turn you on.
Sarah has been working a day shift at the local grocery store during the break and Joel is off running his contracting business. Joel Miller, sweaty and dirty and building things with his large calloused hands. Fuck, you try to shake that image from your brain because you certainly do not need another image of him to touch yourself too.
You have a job serving in the evenings so the house is quiet and all yours during the day. This afternoon the sun peeks through your curtains and wakes you. Sun dancing along the pale yellow walls of the spare bedroom. You pick up your phone and see that itâs clear and sunny, the perfect day to lay out by the pool that Joel said you could use, âmake yourself at home, darlinâ, any friend of Sarah is welcome anytime.â
You practically leap out of bed and into your ensuite bathroom to brush your teeth and get ready to lay out in the sun. You rush down the hall in the swimsuit Sarah lent you, a large blue and white striped pool towel tucked under your arm.
You love Sarah, but thereâs no chance youâre wearing this ridiculous one piece swimsuit to tan, plus youâre alone so whatâs the harm? Joel doesnât get home until well after 5 pm most nights, Sarah usually around 3 or 4, and sheâs seen you naked more than once. Plus the backyard is fairly private, most likely no one will see anything.
Fuck it, you think to yourself, slipping the red lycra straps off your shoulders and then shimmying the suit down your body. The sun immediately warms your skin and that boost of vitamin D already has you feeling lighter and happier. You spread the towel down on the chair and lay on your stomach, tying your hair on top of your head and then grabbing your phone.
You flip through Spotify before settling on the album Ten by Pearl Jam. As the first song floats across the backyard, you rest your cheek on your hands and let the fast paced grunge music wash away your thoughts of your boyfriend and what youâre going to do next week when you go back to school. All that matters now is the sun on your skin.
Xâ˘Xâ˘Xâ˘Xâ˘Xâ˘Xâ˘X
Joel was just about to start working on some paperwork for his next building when he heard movement in the hallway. You must be up for the day, he should probably let you know heâs working from home today, just in case. He wants you to be comfortable here, even if itâs killing him to see you wandering around his house in those small denim shorts you wear to work. Last night he was almost certain he could see your hard nipples peeking out from the fabric of your tight white t-shirt.
Absolutely not, Joel. He scolds himself.
He hears you pad down the hall and then the unmistakable swoosh of the sliding glass door to the backyard. He glances out the window in his office to see you slip the red swimsuit Sarah lent you off your body. His cock was already painfully hard behind his jeans.
She just turned 21. The Angel on his shoulder reminds the devil thatâs tempting him from the other side.
His mouth waters as he looks at your body. Your tits are perky, pink little nipples hardening as the air hits them.
She's going through a hard time. The good side of his conscience seems to be losing but he finds an ounce of strength and looks away. He canât be staring at you.
He tries to focus on this goddamn contract but even little deadline and âinitial hereâ blend together and all he can see in the jumbled words of the page is that little strip of hair that leads to that bundle of nerves he so badly wants to suck on. When he looks up again youâre laying face down, round and perky ass facing his window and on display for him. She must not know heâs home, and now sheâs going to think heâs a total fucking creep if he says something now.
Sheâs your daughter's best friend. No, sheâs off limits. Beyond off limits. Get it together, Miller.
And then your music drifts through his cracked window. Youâre listening to Pearl Jam. So now not only are you incredibly tempting but you also have the music of his teenage years blasting. He canât resist anymore, glancing out of the window to see you still laying on your stomach and your plush ass bouncing along as you wiggle to Eddie Vedder singing about still being alive.
Heâs not sure how it happens, his body seems to move without him knowing, and suddenly heâs standing at the window, staring down into the backyard at you. His muscular arms crossed over his chest, leaning against the large window frame.
He slows his breathing and focuses on you - every dip and curve, every freckle, every little bit of skin being absorbed by his heated gaze. Your legs are slightly parted, but not enough for him to be able to see your cunt, and fuck does he want to see it.
His palms tingle with the need to cup your ass, maybe spank you for being naked in the middle of the day. He has neighbors, they could see you right now. This is unacceptable and you should be punished.
Just as heâs about to head downstairs his cell phone rings loudly and you shoot up onto your elbows and look over your shoulder at him, eyes locking with his before a tiny smile crosses your face. Joel looks away quickly and grabs his cell, almost crushing the device in his grasp as he answers.
Xâ˘Xâ˘Xâ˘Xâ˘Xâ˘Xâ˘X
Joel Miller was fully lurking at your naked body, and while that should probably embarrass you, you need to get fucked. You need something, anything, to forget about that piece of shit boyfriend who locked you out and refuses to talk to you or let you get your stuff. Sarah told you when you first met that he had her when he was 19, so itâs not like heâs THAT much older than you. Plus itâs just fucking.
Yep, Iâm going for it.
You gather the towel around your body loosely, hooking your swimsuit on your finger and twirling it happily as you head into the house, determined to confront him and then seduce him. When you head up the stairs heâs standing in the doorframe of his office, just across from the spare bedroom youâre occupying. He looks deliciously pissed, one arm propped above his head on the door frame, the other on his hip, knee popped out. Your pussy flutters at the thought of his large, angry body above yours.
The opening bars of Jeremy fill the silence between you two, almost daring the other to make the first move.
âTurn that off,â Joel snaps. âIâm working.â
âDidnât look like you were working a few minutes ago,â you say back, matching his energy.
Joelâs eyes narrow, brows furrowing, but you can tell heâs fighting to keep his eyes on yours. You lick your lips, testing him, teasing him, pushing him to see if heâll take the bait. The flick of his eyes to your lips happens so quickly you almost miss it.
You let out a scoff, âYa, thatâs what I thought.â You step towards him, so close that you can smell the coffee and sawdust on him. âWanna take a break from all that work?â You say the word work teasingly, trying to entice him.
âGo to your room and put some clothes on. Donât let me catch you naked in the backyard again,â He says deeply, then closes his office door in your face.
You smirk to yourself, dropping the towel at his door and wandering into your room leaving the door wide open. You hook your phone to the Bluetooth speaker as you lay on your bed completely naked. You hit the volume button and slip your hand between your legs, rubbing your clit in fast, little circles.
âDaddy didnât give no affection, no
And the boy was something that Mommy wouldnât wear
King Jeremy the wicked
Oh, ruled his worldâ
Joel whips his office door open looking absolutely furious. His breath catches in his throat at the sight of you. Bare, wide open, and soaking wet. You donât stop, donât even bother to look his way, as you dip your fingers into your pussy and cry out his name. Joel steps into your room and hits the power button on your speaker. The only sounds that film the room are your moans and the squelching of your arousal as your fingers slip in and out of your pussy.
âWhat the fuck did I just say, little girl?â Joel says darkly.
You open your eyes to look at him and the expression on his face sends your heart into your stomach. Youâve always been a little bit of a brat, getting in trouble lots growing up. Truthfully, you like the rush of it, the adrenaline of the unknown. But Joel looks dangerous, eyes blown out with rage and lust, hands clamped into fists at his sides, a slight blush pinks his cheeks, lips in a tight line.
You sit up, crossing your legs and covering yourself with a pillow as you turn towards him. Youâre suddenly not feeling so confident, you may have pushed the wrong man.
âY-you said outside,â you start, your voice wavering. âIâm inside.â
Joel moves so quickly that you donât even have time to register whatâs happening as the pillow is ripped from your grip and disposed of on the floor in front of you. Youâre bare and exposed to him again.
âSpread your legs,â he says hungrily, voice a raspy whisper.
He watches your throat as you swallow hard, leaning back on your elbows and planting your feet on the edge of the bed. You look at him tentatively, jumping and letting out a little squeal when he barks, âI said spread your fucking legs.â
You relax, letting your knees fall open. His breathing is rapid, a growling moan leaving his parted lips. He takes one step, his knees hitting the edge of the bed.
âJoel -â you start.
âShut up. You knew what you were doing, you wanted this. Didnât you?â
âY-Yes, butâŚâ his hand slaps the inside of your thigh and your knees slam together as you cry out.
âSpread. Your fucking. Legs,â he repeats in a slow and deep command.
âThat hurt!â You say back, squeezing your knees together tighter. It feels like he set fire to your thigh and you can already see the red handprint forming.
âIf youâre gonna act like a little brat, Iâm going to treat you like one. Now spread your legs so I can hit the other one.â He raises an eyebrow at you cockily. âIf you keep them open, I might reward you.â Youâve bit off more than you can chew with Joel Miller.
You take in a calming breath through your nose, relaxing your knees as you exhale slowly. Joel can see the milky, sticky strings of your arousal as your pussy lips spread open for him. He has to swallow the excess saliva that pools in his cheeks at the sight. He wants to taste you so fucking badly.
âI think you liked it,â he taunts. âYouâre makinâ a mess, you like being slapped around, donât you? Treated like a little whore.â
Before you can respond he lays a hard smack on your other thigh. Your hips involuntarily buck upwards, your head falling back and a moaning, whimpering cry you donât recognize as your own leaves your lips. You focus on your knees, fighting against your bodyâs instincts, keeping them pushed into the mattress.
âThatâs what I thought,â he says as he kneels in front of you and yanks your ass to the edge of the bed. âThink you should get a reward now?â
âY-yes, please, Joel. Please!â You have never had to beg for sex before, boys your age are usually fired up and ready to go, but men of Joelâs age know sex is so much more than just penetration - itâs a game, a tease.
He bites down on your thigh, âPlease. Please, Joel!â
âYou smell so fucking good,â he says as his hooked nose trails down your little line of pubic hair. You squirm under him as your clit twitches, aching for his attention. âAnd so goddamn wet. My little whore, arenât ya?â His warm breath hits your needy clit and you flop down onto the bed, whining in need.
âPlease -â but your words are cut off by the front door opening and Sarahâs voice calls through the house.
âEveryone can celebrate, Iâm home now!!!â She yells jokingly.
âFuck!â Joel huffs under his breath and bolts for his office, kicks your towel and swimsuit into your room, you follow and click your door shut quietly.
âHello?â Sarah calls, heading up the stairs.
âJust getting dressed,â you call through your closed door. âI think your dad is in a meeting.â
âPut on your swimsuit, itâs gorgeous outside!â

The Man 5
Warnings: non/dubcon, and other dark elements. My username actually says you never asked for any of this.
My warnings are not exhaustive but be aware this is a dark fic and may include potentially triggering topics. Please use your common sense when consuming content. I am not responsible for your decisions.
Character: mob!Lloyd Hansen
Summary: a demanding customer complicates more than your work life.
As usual, I would appreciate any and all feedback. Iâm happy to once more go on this adventure with all of you! Thank you in advance for your comments and for reblogging.
You double check the lock on your apartment door. Your paranoia buzzes like a broken radio. You pace around the cramped bachelor, thoughts strewn all around. One moment, youâre desperately trying to figure out what to do next; find a job, go home, call Bre and beg her to take you back. The next, youâre looking out the window, expecting a villain to be waiting outside. Every worry you have strings back to that man...Â
You manage to settle down enough to browse the scant offerings on Indeed. The work from home opportunities are questionable as you tap more information. Commission based... thatâs not going to get you much. You send off a few applications for fast food joints, a quick solution just to you through, but you need something quick. Something today.Â
You give up and throw your phone. You stare at it as it lays screen down on the other end of the couch. You see it in that manâs hand as he flicks his thumb. Who does he think he is? The real question is, who is he?Â
You sigh and close your eyes, dragging your hands over your face. The more you think about it, the more it feels you were set up for failure. Why couldnât Bre just warn you? Why couldnât she tell you who he was? Why couldnât he just leave you alone?Â
The stale smell of espresso urges you from the couch. You shuffle into the bathroom and start the shower. You strip off your clothes, slightly stiff from the dried coffee. Your skin is sticky too in places and thereâs a particularly crusty patch on your chest somehow.Â
You wash away the caffeine-laced christening. You linger beneath the water and let it slake over you. You lean forward, hands flat on the tile as hot rivulets wash over your back. Your muscles are coiled tightly. The stress of the day and those to come have you tied up like a knot.Â
When you emerge, you yawn, too exhausted to keep up the existential despair. You stagger into the front room and over to your double bed. You trade the towel for a loose tee and sprawl across the futon. You melt into it and close your eyes.Â
Youâll figure it all out tomorrow. Maybe. Hopefully.Â
Or maybe tomorrow will be even worse.Â
â
You wake up to the creak of your mail slot and the metallic clunk of it biting down on an paper. You gurgle and roll onto your side, coughing dryly as you rub your forehead. Your head is thick and foggy from sleep. A slightly thrum pulses in your temple.Â
You hover at the edge of the bed, staring at the door, weighing the distance. You yawn and roll onto your feet. You pad across the apartment and pull the paper free of the flap. You open the trifold letter and your vision clears as the font comes into view.Â
The buildingâs letterhead makes you think itâs another notice for the fire alarm test but the bold captials across the top send your heart into panic. NOTICE TO VACATE. What? How? Your rent for the month is paid, plus first and last. How can they evict you? You didnât do anything.Â
You look through the peephole. The hallway is empty. Dang.Â
You rinse your face and brush your teeth hurriedly. You pull on a pair of sweatpants and your slip-on shoes. You check the mirror and shrug. Good enough. You donât really care right now. You need to figure this out.Â
You stomp down the flight of stairs to the building office and knock frantically until the door opens. The squat woman inside gives you a death glare. You wave the letter at her.Â
âI think thereâs a mistake,â you say.Â
She grunts and stares back at you.Â
âI paid my rent, but this says I have to leave.âÂ
âLease violation,â she shrugs.Â
âBut what-- Iâve been here only a few weeks? What did I do?âÂ
âRead the letter,â she sniffs.Â
You furrow your brow and unfold it again. You skim over the words; âlandlord requires unit for personal useâ. Huh? They can do that?Â
âPersonal use? ButâBut you leased it to me. My deposit--âÂ
âTake it up with a lawyer. All there,â she taps the top of the paper before she swings the door shut in your face.Â
What the hell? This canât be real. Youâre in a nightmare. Youâre not really awake. This is just one of those really deep dreams where you canât throw a punch. Too bad you canât throw one in real life either. Hard to test the theory.Â
You frown and make your way back up to your apartment. You leave the paper on the counter and brew a coffee from the single-serve machine. You hold your head in your hands, elbows on the linoleum, as you try to sort through it all.Â
The machine grinds and you stand up straight. You take your cup and go to the fridge. You pull out the carton of milk and tip some into your coffee. The chunks that roll out of the spout make you gag. Frig, expired. You dump the whole mug and leave it empty in the sink. Nothing is going right.Â
You pour out the sour milk and rinse away the putrid scent. You need to get food. Youâre out of eggs too. Just a few small things for now. You have to count your pennies.Â
You put a bra on and pull on a hoodie. You make yourself decent enough to face the public but keep your sweatpants on. Youâre just running to the corner store. You grab your wallet, phone, and keys and head out.Â
Your stroll down to the store is distracted. You should ask a lawyer but you canât really afford that. Youâll have to try the housing board, see if they offer public services. You donât really know about all that stuff.Â
You grab your staples without much attention. Eggs, milk, a loaf of bread, and some sliced cheddar. Grilled cheese for life. Â
You go to the counter and wait for the cashier to scan the items. You try to tap your card but it declines. You insert instead and put in your pin. Pin accepted, transaction declined. You grimace, face burning with embarrassment.Â
âSorry, one sec, Iâm gonna just check my account.â You back out of the way of the next customer and pull out your phone. Â
You sign-in to your banking app. You see the balance you expected. More than enough for your lot but thereâs a little red exclamation mark next to the account number. You tap it and a new page opens.Â
âAccount locked for security purposes. Contact Bank Services.âÂ
Oh my god! What more can go wrong? You tap on the little chat icon in the corner. The automated responses lead you in a circle and tell you to call the toll-free or go into the local branch. Ugh! But you need milk now.Â
A message blips across the top of your screen. It fades before you can read it. You pull down the menu and stare dumbly at the text sent from a private number, âmorning, sweet lips.âÂ

Hi!! I saw your post about being open to req's and was wondering if you could do a yandere jjk x reader one!
Snow leopard hybrid gojo would not leave my mind and i've been rotating a scenario in my head about reader smelling a bit too much of other men. But they aren't dating and gojo's is starting to go insane about it and so confronts reader bout it.
i mean you could do it without satoru being a hybrid, i don't really mind. i'm just craving for a yan gojo rn
I AM SO SORRY THIS IS LATE
HOLY SHIT- SCHOOL SUCKS
BUT I'M ALMOST DONE YAY
Warnings: slightly possessive Gojo, crappy writing, maybe full on possessive Gojo, Gojo having a scent kink thing, so mdi (?) 18+ (?), Gojo really loving your smell and but also calling you smelly (Iâm scening a slight theme with my writingâŚ)
As always lmk if I miss anything and this isnât proof read so grammar mistakes đŤś
âââ-
Fem reader!
âJesus Christ I want to quit my jobâ was all that was running through my head as I walked up the sets to my home, my feet crying out for relaxation after the horrible treatment of a 9-hour shift. All I want to do right now is to curl up in my bed and cry.
I open my front door, and at the same time, my phone starts to ring off. Huffing I close the door and set down my bag, I awkwardly shuffle through my pockets to see âGojoâ lighting up my screen. An exaggerated sign escapes my lips as I answer the call. âHello?â My horse voice spoke out, âIâm coming over! I see you off of workâ a very happy Gojo responded to me, I looked down at my disgusting work clothes and the overall quality of how I felt, âGojo- look, I donât feel like hanging-â âGreat! Iâll be over in 5 minutes.â Was all I heard before the abrupt sound of the call being hanged up. I roughly made my way to my bathroom, if Gojo is coming over might as well look decent.
The thing with Gojo is, that he has been becoming increasingly clingy to me. Especially knowing days when I have work itâs almost as if thereâs some sort of thing growing inside himself. I tend to brush him off whenever he buries his head into the crook of my neck, his long lengthy arms curled tightly around my stomach, or when he invites himself to stay the night but insists that I wear his clothes. I brush it off as Gojo being himself as he is usually very overly touching with everyone in his life- but sometimes- sometimes, it feels a little off.
I sighed as I heard my front door opening and closing I wrapped a large towel around my body. I run my fingers through my wet hair as I cringe at it being tangled up. I slip on an old hoodie and a pair of shorts, using the towel to dry my hair I set out of the bathroom and Iâm immediately pushed against the wall nearby. My vision gets clouded by a mop of white hair and twitching light grey ears, as Gojo buries his head into the crook of my neck.
âMm-Gojo!â I yelp in surprise as I place my hands on his solid chest trying to move him off of me
Keyword: trying
Gojo slips his hands down my arms, creating goosebumps in his wake as he grabs my hands with his own and places them around his midsection. His own hands find home on my hips as I feel an aggressive sign flow out of him. âMâ not Gojo, itâs âToru to youâ his voice is horsed, and Gojo buries his head more into my neck- if thatâs even physically possible. âYou smell like other guys.â Gojo bluntly says,
I raise my eyebrows at him, my hands are mindlessly playing with his Snow White hair. âWhat do you mean âToru?â I ask, the man-child before me lets out a groan. He raises his head from my neck and stares at me with his ocean-blue eyes. My heartbeat picks up as I feel my face heat up. Wordless Gojo tilts his head to the side, his eyes turn to something more obsessive. His pale hands travel up my body to cup my face, the air in my lungs gets stuck in there.
âYou smell. Every day, every single day you always smell and itâs driving me insane.â He leans into me, our lips inches apart as his eyes dart down to my lips. âYou should only smell like me, only be with me. I can give you so much baby.â His right-hand caresses the side of my face. I shake my head
â âToru you..â I let out a shaky sigh âYou donât want-â âI know exactly what I want baby.â Gojo cuts me off, his breath growing more aggressive.
His lips move to the shell of my ear. âI want, no- need you baby. I need it so badly you donât even know the depth of itâ he whispers in my ear as he goes back to face me. âYou need me to, Iâll prove it to you.â I nodded my head, allured to the words Gojo was feeding me, our lips connected as he immediately pressed the kiss. His arms cage me against this wall. My knees feel like they are going to give out.
âIâm going to show you just how much I need you baby.â
âââââ
A/n: this isnât really that yandere, kinda forgot about that while writing this LMAO

A fluff sanji x reader story where sanji is having a hard time falling asleep (perchance to his odd sleeping schedule.) and Reader helps him go to bed??
Helping Sanji go to sleep
AN: *takes a deep breath* Ok so... My inbox already has like 5 Sanji asks and this one really caught my eye. I think this is SUPER cute so thanks anon for requesting!! I might be slow in answering asks because of exam period and I have a BIG performance coming on 2 May. However, I'll try my best!!
Notes: Fluff, Sanji x GN reader, Fluff, SFW, quite short I'm sorry, Brook and reader are besties, Reader steals from Zoro, Sanji being a jealous idiot
You couldn't help but feel Sanji tossing and turning in bed beside you. Getting annoyed with your lover's actions, you turned to face him with a light scowl on your face. However, it immediately disappears when your eyes met with sleepy blue eyes. Your blonde boyfriend is exhausted, but according to how restless he is, he can't fall asleep. Gently, you slowly cupped his tired face.
"Baby... You've been tossing for hours... Is something wrong?" You asked, fingers tracing his eye bags.
Sanji shook his head and took your hands, "No dear... I'm fine... Just can't sleep..." He admits, voice laced with drowsiness.
You felt bad for the man beside you. So sleepy, yet can't sleep. Whenever you felt restless and sleepless, Sanji is always there to help you go to sleep. Now, seeing that he is the one that needs help, you didn't hesitate to do so.
"C'mon, follow me to the kitchen... I know something that might help..." You say, taking his hand and dragging a tired Sanji out of bed.
Reluctantly, Sanji obeyed, following you to the only place on the ship he has authority over. In the kitchen, you poured some milk into a glass and slide it over to him. Sanji caught the glass with ease and shot you a questioning look.
"Drink it... It'll help make you sleepy..." You say, smiling gently at your lover.
Sanji stares at you suspiciously for a beat before chugging down the milk. When he's done, you both went to bed and see whether it works. Unfortunately, it didn't work. However, you aren't out of ideas yet. It was a chilly night today and the blanket you two shared is small and thin. You sneakily snuck into Zoro's room and stole his blanket. He's on night watch today so he won't mind. The worst that could happen is that he and Sanji will fight about it the next day. You went back into the room and threw the big green blanket over the two of you. And to sweeten things up, you cuddled near Sanji, providing extra warmth.
However, despite being so cozy and warm, Sanji still couldn't fall asleep. You both were desperate now. Everything you tried didn't work. You tried tiring him out by doing some midnight training, a hot shower, a quick snack, EVERYTHING. And yet, the blonde haired cook still couldn't sleep.
"Give it up Y/N... This useless... Go to sleep... I don't want you tired tomorrow because of me... Besides, we have a long day tomorrow..." Sanji said pushing you back into bed despite your resistence.
"No Sanji, I'm not sleeping until I know you are asleep beside me..." You reply, sitting back up.
Sanji sighs, "But we tried everything mon amour..."
You smirk slyly, "Not everything..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"NO! There is NO way I'm letting that perverted skeleton into our room!" yelled Sanji, a hint of jealousy in his voice.
You rolled your eyes. You and Brook are best friends and nothing more. Yet, Sanji still gets jealous.
"Trust me Sanji, this will help you..." You pleaded, making puppy eyes.
Sanji groans, but relents, "Fine, but if that skeleton so much stares at you, I'm kicking him..."
When Brook enters your bedroom, you requested him to play some soothing music on his violin. He compiles and plays a melodic tune to help Sanji fall asleep. Almost immediately, Sanji's eyes grew heavy. You grab him by the shoulder and pulled him into bed beside you.
"Sleep baby..." You whisper into his ear, tracing random patterns onto his back.
"I love you mon amour... Good night...."
Those were the last things you heard from Sanji before snores came from him. You smiled and snuggled closer to the blonde.
"Good night babe..."
And with that, you two fell into a deep slumber, Brook's soothing music playing in the background.
______________________________________________________________
And that's a wrap! Hope you enjoy this anon! Please sent in any more request you have! You can even request other characters! I'm going to go work on my other Sanji asks now!

Unknown- The Bed.
How many scenes do we have of Qian and Yuan in Qianâs bed? In the series Qianâs bed practically becomes a secondary character, a witness and the set of so many interesting or pivotal moments. In episode 3, lying on the bed, their discussion foresees whatâs going to happen, Yuanâs going abroad. And his reluctance to go is even clearer while his eyes are on his older brother as he listens to him speak.
âI want to stay with you like this forever,â he says. In the morning, we get a glimpse of Yuanâs dream, and itâs basically the first time in the series heâs truly happy. There is no hesitation, sadness in his behaviour. His smile, his happiness is so palpable. And we, the audience canât help but being moved by that. On another note, I feel like Chris was really sleeping in that scene lol, he has a couple of spasms in his fingers which one canât really pretend to have. But perhaps heâs just that great of an actor.
Then you have episode 5, after Yuan confesses he likes boys. Qian is as always, his little brother's guardian, as San Pang leaves, he let him sleep, covering him. I love how Qian doesnât care if San Pang saw them sleeping in the same bed. He wonât let Yuan feel like an outcast. The whole world could hate him, but he wonât let him feel unwelcome.
The beginning of episode 8 when Qian finally gets a real glimpse of his brother after so long and he is caught. How the night changes, now Qian is the one watching him sleep. And you can see the distance that Yuan is keeping for now. He isnât sleeping next to his brother like he used to, only his head is on the bed. There is a cut in (Youku BTS) where we see Yuan coming to Qianâs bedroom, to check on him, pull the cover over him and then sleeping there. Also force of habit, Yuan needed to make sure his brother was fine and he came in the room to ensure that. As San Pang says in another episode, âYuan canât bear to leave you alone.â
Still in that episode Yuan call his Ge, Wei Qian for the first time while sitting on Qianâs bed, showing him that now heâs grown up. Â
The beginning of episode 10 is my favourite âbedâ scene, the pace, the music, the darkness is so beautiful. Yuan, who was calling him by his name, reminds him that heâs still his little brother, and he knows Qian wouldnât be indifferent to his call. I find it slightly manipulative lol, but itâs well done. Qian canât refuse Yuanâs request to sleep with him anyways because he needs it too. He didnât voice it but him as well had been scared to death. Qianâs voice over is one of the most heartbreaking, itâs in his tone, the crack in his voice the way he delivers those lines are so moving. And lying in this bed, with Yuan in his arms, we can feel his walls are starting crumbling down.
Episode 11 comes and the bed becomes the haven of their love. Innocence lost, bliss found. Itâs also where the morning after all of Yuanâs dreams come true, he has his brother all to himself.
 And this bed witnessed Yuanâs dream until he made it true. Qianâs bed is their territory, an island, a haven where they donât even need to talk but can just feel.

bad day (drabble)
warnings: teeth-rotting fluff , and shitty writing
summary: Emily has a bad case, but luckily for her, she has an amazing wife who really knows how to take care of her.
a/n: english is not my native language, so i apologise for any mistakes!! also; my requests are open so donât be afraid to reach out and request something <3
word count: 598
read on ao3 or below the cut
The case was in Texas, where the police department was filled with homophobic assholes who didnât even know what 1+1 is. Safe to say, it wasnât a good case for Emily, or anyone really. But now she was close to reaching home, she just wanted to dive into your arms, and let you take control.
You heard the familiar opening of the front door, followed by a heavy sigh when she took off the tight combat boots sheâs been wearing all day.
You quickly made your way to the hallway, where you threw yourself into her arms, smelling the familiar perfume that you grew to love so much. The brunette wrapped her arms around you, and buried her face into the crook of your neck.
Of course you knew she had a bad case, as the two of you made sure to text the other throughout the day when the agent was away on a case.
âcome on baby, how about we get you into a nice warm bath?â You say softly to your wife, knowing exactly whatâll help her wind down after a long week. âYes please,â she replied softly, letting you take care of her.
You led her into the bathroom, never letting her go. As she undressed, you turned on the bath and let it fill with perfectly temperature water and good smelling bubbles, making sure to use the one that smells like vanilla, your go to smell, for extra comfort.
âBaby, could you maybe join me?â Her voice sounded so incredibly small, it was impossible to say no, especially paired with the puppy eyes she was giving you. You quickly undressed and slid into the tub, letting her settle between your legs. She let out a small sigh when the warm water eased the ache in her limps.
You two sat there in comfortable silence, until you started to softly massage the kinks out of her shoulders, causing her to let out a long sigh. Her eyes fell closed, and her shoulders relaxed as she laid into you even more.
You guys stayed there for around 20 more minutes, until the water started to turn incredibly cold. âDarling, we got to get out now,â you tell her. Emily softly shook her head. âIâm comfyâŚâ she let out a soft yawn. âNo babe, youâre going to freeze to death.â You softly pushed her forward, so you could get out of the tub, and grabbed a couple fluffy towels.
After both of you are wrapped into a towel, you grabbed two pairs of pjâs, making sure theyâre both yours, so your wife wouldnât complain about it. As youâve made the mistake before, which resulted in you having to sleep on the couch (even though sheâd join you about five minutes in).
Not even 5 minutes later and the both of you were wrapped in each other, limps being a tangled mess. âBabyâŚâ She softly murmured. âYeah?â
âThank you for taking care of me,â
âI always will, pretty girl, I love you so much.â
She let out a soft giggle, just proving how exhausted she was. âI love you too, so incredibly much,â
âGood, now go to sleep, yeah? Iâll be there when you wake up, I promise.â
âMmm, goodnight,â her eyes were already closed, and her breathing quickly evened out.
âSweet dreams, my darling, Iâll always be there for you and I love you so much, I promise you,â
And just as you said that, Sergio sneaked into your bed and laid against your leg.
"I love you too Sergio," You said with a smile.

Chapters: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, chapter 4, current chapter, chapter 6 (in the works)
        Andrew glided through the hospital corridors, taking the elevator to the pediatric branch. He really couldnât care less about the kid, Hailey, but for some reason his favorite nurse just loved the little nuisance.Â
        He felt a bit jealous. Does she like Hailey more than him?Â
        Obviously, she does, considering how she had talked about the girl when they first met. He felt pretty annoyed. Did she spend more of her time and attention on the ill girl? Did she get to innocently hug her like that? If Andrew wasnât so prideful, heâd definitely ask her for a hug.
        Hell, he was really fighting with himself to ask now. Just a small quick hug, nothing bad! He wondered if he could genuinely pull that off. He wondered how she must feel inside his arms. Would she rest her head against his chest, or would she rather prefer resting it on his shoulder? Is she one of those people who cling onto you like their life depends on it, or was she someone who preferred soft and polite hugs? Would she be a long and affectionate hugger, or simple and sweet?Â
        He put that thought in the back of his mind for now, rolling down the hallways to Haileyâs room. He didnât bother to open the door, much like he did with (Y/N)âs room earlier, as he strolled in without a care.
        Hailey laid in her bed, her eyes glued to some book (Y/N) got her, before she glanced at him. Her eyes raised, surprised to see the pale man again.
        âAndrew, was it?â she questioned, her voice sounding better from yesterday. âWhat are you doing here?â
        â(Y/N) told me to check on you.â He stated bluntly.
        â(Y/N)? Is she here?â Hailey questioned, a smile growing on her face. âI havenât seen her tonight! I thought she was off work?â
        Andrew was about to open his mouth and say (Y/N) was, before remembering how the nurse didnât want the girl to know about her condition.Â
        âUh, noâŚâ he muttered, looking away. âShe⌠wanted me to get into books to distract myself⌠so she told me to go to you for any books.â He lied.
        âSo you do have an interest in books after all.â Hailey smiled. âYou must have an interest in nurse (Y/N) too, huh?â Hailey smirked teasingly.
        ââŚWhat are you getting at?â Andrew questioned, resisting the urge to glare at the sick girl.
        How the hell did this kid know? Andrew questioned to him.
        âItâs very obvious.â She smiled. âSee, if I had a past life, Iâm sure I was like a cupid!â
        âUh, yeah. Sure, kid.â He spoke, brushing off the comment as he decided not to entertain nor deny the idea.
        âIâm very serious.â Hailey re-enforced. âI can see it in your eyes! Youâre invested in her!â
        Who is this bratâŚÂ Andrew thought, annoyed but intrigued (much to his dismay).
        âYou know, Iâve known her ever since she came here. I know her type of men.â Hailey lied, a mischievous smirk growing on her face.
        ââŚYou do?â Andrew muttered, now he was unashamedly interested.Â
        âI could tell youâŚâ she hummed, trailing off. âOr not.â
        Andrew looked hesitant, before letting out a sigh. He rolled his chair up to her bedside, glancing down at her lap where her open book rested.
        The book she got from (Y/N)âŚ
        God, everything just seems to trace back to that woman, huh? No matter what, everything he sees and hears all traces back to her, even outside of the hospital people are attracted to her (even if the reasons could be malicious). Itâs almost pathetic how hooked he is on her, despite not even knowing her for a week. Itâs almost scary how everyone seems to be attracted to the girl, she just had an aura that everyone was aware of and drawn to.Â
        He could look at something stupid like his shoes and remember her footsteps as she walked with him to the surgery room. He could remember her hands on his face, chest, wrist, looking all around and checking his condition, his bandages, his vitals. He could look at his bedsheets and remember her hands tucking him in for bed⌠and imagine things heâd rather not envision for a woman he just met.
        Yeah, back in the hatch those thoughts go.
        âCould you just tell me?â he huffed, trying to sound as uninterested as possible despite asking for this, rather impatiently at that.
        âWell? Do you like her?â Hailey questioned.
        Andrew took the moment to think to himself. Yeah, she was a pretty nice nurse, and she knew her stuff despite specializing in pediatrics; though he shouldnât be surprised, children are basically just the same anatomy as adults, just smaller in size.
        She had a nice voice, and she somehow balanced between playful and professional, perhaps thatâs practiced for pediatrics to make kids feel comfortable yet still hold authority.Â
        She had a cute smile, and her eyes were pretty to look into. He liked looking at her while she worked, sometimes sheâd even bite her lip or stick her tongue out to remind herself to concentrate. She looked like an angel laying on that white hospital bed. Even in pain, she still looked pretty.Â
        He wondered how she was outside of the hospital. She was a human too, how did she act with her friends, or her family? How did she act alone? Was she single? Did she have a boyfriend, or did she prefer girls? Would she take interest in him? Could she see him as a potential partner?
        Fuck. Yeah, he definitely liked her.
        âJust a littleâŚâ he muttered, feeling a little embarrassed.
        This feels weird (and degrading, in a sense) to be relying on a sick kid for love advice.Â
        âSo you admit it?â she smiled.
        âAre you gonna tell me or not?â Andrew growled.
        By now, Hailey was no longer fearful or anxious of Andrew. Andrew was just a lovesick puppy hopelessly enamored with her favorite nurse, in her eyes at least. She learned that expression from her books.
        âNo.â Hailey smiled, picking up her book.
        âWhy?â Andrew questioned, feeling a little betrayed that she made him admit his feelings only to not hold onto their deal.
        âBecause I lied.â Hailey smiled. âI donât know her type.â
        âBratâŚâ Andrew muttered under his breath, unashamed to be talking smack in front of a dying kid.
        He couldâve said worse, but itâs quite mean to talk ill to a sick child, especially in front of them. Besides, (Y/N) wouldnât like it if she found out.
        âSo, books?â Hailey hummed, getting back to her reading. âThis book Iâm reading right now is pretty good. I can read it to you.â She suggested.
        âNoâŚâ he grumbled, still a little upset that he was tricked.Â
        Heâll let her lying slide. Kids will be kids, let them have their fun.Â
        âHow about I read it to you instead?â Andrew suggested.
        He didnât want her reading to him; he was the adult, not her. Besides, her voice sounds hoarse and struggling, heâd rather him read it to her than have the kid push herselfânot because heâs soft or anything, but because (Y/N) would be upset.Â
        Hailey seemed to ponder the idea, before handing over the book to him.Â
        âJust donât crease the pages.â Hailey spoke.
        âGot it.â Andrew hummed, looking at the page she was originally reading.
        He started at the beginning of the page, reading a bit wonky at first, before he started to get into the narration. The words started to flow more smoothly, and he even took pauses for dramatic effect at the intense moments that felt like they needed a pause to sink in.
        One chapter became two, and two became four. He was pretty interested in the story, makes sense considering it was his (Y/N) who got the story, of course sheâd have immaculate taste too.Â
        He read until his throat went dry, the tip of his tongue aching from all the pronunciations. He looked up from the book to see Hailey asleep.
        Did she get bored? Andrew thought, a little offended that she fell asleep at the book (Y/N) gave her instead of giving it to him, especially when he was kind enough to read it to her.Â
        Maybe she just liked his voice? Itâs perfect for listening to. His voice wasnât quiet, but it wasnât loud either, like a polite demand for attention or to respect his authority. It was deep, but not too deep, with a slight rasp from smoking. He was good at projecting his voice so others could listen to himâwell, everyone except Ashley, really.Â
        Thinking of Ashley, where is she? She was sure acting weird today. Something about the demonâs vision she saw in her dream. She also described (Y/N)âs appearance despite not even knowing the nurse; he couldnât recall any moment they had interacted.
        Andrew took a white bookmark that laid on her bedside table, placing it on the page he stopped reading on. He closed the book, placing it down on Haileyâs bedside. He wheeled out of the room, making his way back to the elevators.
        He entered the elevator, pressing the button for the emergency branch, waiting for the doors to re-open. The metal shutters opened and he rolled out, going back to (Y/N)âs room.
        He made it, opening the door and entering without bothering to knock. (Y/N) laid in the hospital bed, her eyes closed as she appeared to be sleeping.
        DamnâŚÂ Andrew thought, disappointed. I was hoping to talk to her.
        He doesnât know what he wouldâve talked about, but he was hoping sheâd start the conversation. He wanted to get closer to her, emotionally and physically.Â
        Andrew debated what he should do, before finally giving in, rolling his wheelchair up to her side. He observed her sleeping face, blissfully unaware of his presence as she slept. Her hair was a little messy, perhaps from sleeping or from the attack earlier. Her skin was a bit paler than usual, perhaps from shock or blood loss. She had more prominent bags under her eyes than usual, resting heavily under her closed eyes.
        He wondered who attacked her, and why. Was it a crazy ex boyfriend? Some stalker? A jealous friend? Someone suffering under delusions? He wondered what happened.
        He had an idea, though he was scared to ponder on it.
        Instead of thinking about it, he distracted himself. He looked down at her bandaged arm, trailing his hands down to her wrists, and to her fingernails.
        Her nails were strangely clean. They were polished and trimmed, which makes sense considering nurses need to have good hygiene, especially so they donât transfer bacteria or accidentally infect patients. They looked like they had been scrubbed squeaky clean recently, not even a trace of dirt under her nails.Â
        Her hands looked small compared to his, clean and petite compared to his rough and damaged ones.Â
        His hands had small burns from failing to light his cigarettes as a starter; her hands had small burns from ovens and hot cookware and hot glue guns, yet somehow her scars were far more attractive than his.
        His hands were dirty, stained with blood and sins; hers were clean, baptized in purity and commandant.
        He wondered how her hands would feel against his. They looked soft, would they feel soft? He wondered if she used lotion, what her favorite nail polish was, how long she liked her nails.
        Those thoughts led to other thoughts. What did she like wearing when sheâs at home? What does she wear in public? What kind of music does she listened to? What kind of foods does she like?
        He decided it was best to stop those thoughts. He stared at her hands, juggling his thoughts in his head, before finally giving in. He reached out and held her hand with his larger one.Â
        He held it gently, feeling the weight of it. His thumb rubbed the back of her hand soothingly, memorized at the difference. Her hand was slightly cold, possibly due to how cold the hospitalâs AC is followed by blood loss, but it wasnât uncomfortable to touch.Â
        He looked at her face to see if she woken up or felt the touch. She didnât.
        His fingers carefully interlocked with her, cautious to make sure she wouldnât accidentally wake up. She remained neutral, not even a flutter of her eyelashes or any stirring.Â
        She must be really tiredâŚÂ Andrew thought.Â
        His admired their hands as they eloped together. He noticed discoloration on her hands, He shifted his body, laying his elbow down on the edge of the mattress and using his arm as a pillow. He admired her sleeping face, closing his eyes to relish the touch and intimacy of this moment. He doesnât know how long it took for him to fall asleep, but it was relatively quick.Â
        .
        .       Â
        A few hours later, Andrew jolted awake first at the sound of the door opening, turning his head at the noise. (Y/N) groaned, opening her eyes and seeing Andrew by her side, holding her hand as a man stood in the doorway, one Andrew didnât know.Â
        Andrew squeezed (Y/N)âs hand softly, a silent greeting before glaring at the man, almost possessive of (Y/N)âs vulnerable state.
        âHello, Doctor RyanâŚâ (Y/N) yawned, before directing her attention to Andrew. âAnd hello to you too, Andrew.â She hummed, smiling as she gently squeezed his hand back.
        She looked down at their hands, wondering when she and Andrew started holding hands, or even when he returned back. Her hands trailed down to her sleeves, more so lack of, as the hospital gown didnât have any long-sleeves for her. She noticed her scars out in the open and ripped her hand away from Andrewâs, a sense of insecurity and embarrassment rapidly building in her as she hid her arms under her blanket.
        Andrew looked confused (even a little disheartened that she let go) as Doctor Ryan walked over to her. Doctor Ryan isnât usually at the hospital on Saturday nights, but he couldâve decided to work overtime this week. Itâs not unusual since he has a stay-at-home wife and three kids.
        âHello! I heard what happened and I figured Iâd wait to see you when youâre awake.â The doctor smiled brightly, walking over to her bedside and sitting next to Andrew. âAnd who is this?â he questioned, looking at Andrew, yet having a good idea of who it was as he sent a knowing smirk.Â
        While Doctor Ryan had never met Andrew face-to-face, he had read his report when assigning (Y/N) to watch him his first night, along with hearing all the gossip from Penelope.Â
        Andrew had a small reputation around the hospital since heâs one of the trouble patients, on suicide watch and needing special treatment for his wounds and wants. Andrew wouldnât accept any care from any other nurse during the night shift, it was a fight for the day shift to care for him until (Y/N) told him to behave for day shift. His sister was also banned from the hospital due to proving a threat to Andrewâs recovery and health, though she wonât be a problem anymore.Â
        Rumors spread pretty easily of Andrewâs fondness and almost admiration of the nurse he chose, (Y/N). Penelope has a big mouth without meaning to, having a bad habit of rambling and over sharing her and other peopleâs problems and secrets, so it spread pretty quick of the strange relationship the nurse and patient shared. Penelopeâs ramblings of doubt as a nurse because Andrew wouldnât accept her care had reached Doctor Ryanâs ears, being the catalyst of his teasing to his student, (Y/N).Â
        âThis is Andrew.â (Y/N) introduced when she realized Andrew wasnât going to answer the doctorâs question, only give him a nasty glare.
        She cleared her throat, shoving her arms into her blanket so the pair of males didnât see, and flashed a smile. âWhatâs your visit for? Donât tell me youâre gonna make me work.â She chuckled lightly, trying to make a joke.Â
        âI wouldnât say 'work' exactly.â Doctor Ryan smiled, before it faltered, letting out a sigh. âYouâre here today, so I figured itâd be a good time to tell you. I think itâs best if you see Hailey.âÂ
        âHailey? Why? Did something bad happen to her?â (Y/N) questioned, doing her best to not sound alarmed or panicked.
        Itâs never a good thing for a nurse to panic, itâd defeat a key factor of their job. Nurses are supposed to provide aid to their patients, whether itâs emotionally or physically, or even emotional in cases like Andrewâs. A nurse panicking would panic their patient since theyâre going to look to the one with most experience. If a patient panics, they can worsen their condition or provide unnecessary stress that can affect their recovery or even create new problems.Â
        And people think being a nurse is just all fluffing pillows and handing out medication. You have to be constantly in tune with the patients emotions, symptoms, and healing process; from what they're feeling to how much they're eating or using the bathroom. Always checking up on how they are and cater them to the best of your ability; serving them food (and sometimes helping feed them), changing their bedsheets, helping them to the bathroom, helping out with physical therapy, prepping them for procedures or appointments, and charting. The worse is charting. You have to document every single thing; from what they ate and what times, to who visited them today, to how what they said to be feeling and what they looked actually looked to be feeling like, to any improvement or decline or neutrality of their status, to their behavior, to what medicines they had, to their complaints or compliments they have about the hospital or their treatment, and so much more.Â
        âSheâs just not in the greatest condition at the moment. I think itâs best she sees you.â Doctor Ryan spoke.
        Before she could question it, Doctor Ryan grabbed something from his coat, placing it down on her bedside table.Â
        âHere,â he spoke, patting what looked to be a Polaroid recorder down on her table, âI came to drop this off too. This was supposed to be a wholesome visit, until Hailey at leastâŚâ he spoke, allowing his smile to drop. âCheck out the contents on the camera later. I have to get back to work. Get well soon!â
        âThanks.â (Y/N) smiled, watching Doctor Ryan leave the room.
        âWho was that?â Andrew questioned, glancing over at her as he resisted the urge to grimace.
        âThatâs Doctor Ryan, heâs my professor! Heâs the one teaching me pediatrics since Iâm an apprentice.â (Y/N) explained, slowly sitting up from the bed.
        Andrew watched her movements carefully, observing how she slowly took her time getting out of bed. She didnât apply much pressure on her injured leg as her sock-clothed feet hit the ground (with clean hospital socks, none of her blood soaked up in it and used to plug in any stab wounds). The room looked like a carousel, spinning rapidly, and a headache followed with it, screaming loudly in her head. She let out a groan as Andrew quickly placed a hand on her waist.
        "Careful..." Andrew muttered, watching her intently as he kept his hand on her waist.
        "Thank you, but I'm fine." (Y/N) lied, placing her hand on his shoulder to use as leverage.Â
        "Yeah, sure." He hummed sarcastically.
        (Y/N) resisted the urge to glare at him. While she wasn't on duty, she was still his nurse and she didn't feel like having any workplace drama.Â
        "Do you want me to assist you there?" Andrew questioned, his thumb absentmindedly tracing small circles on her hip.
        "No, it's fine." She spoke, taking a few steps to the door and ignoring the stabbing sensation in her leg.Â
        "Are you sure?" Andrew questioned, trying his best to not look too concerned for her.Â
        "Yes, I'm sure." She huffed, trying not to be snippy. "It's for the best. I don't want Hailey to be nervous or worried, especially if there's something going on with her."Â
        "Just be careful..." Andrew spoke, watching her limp away. "I'll be here waiting for you."Â
        (Y/N) took the moment to look back at him, confused. Before she could question it, she stopped herself, deciding there was always later to talk about it. Right now Hailey needs her, Andrew can wait. Â
        (Y/N) settled for a nod, rummaging in the hospital cabinets and grabbing a white blanket. She wrapped it around her body to hide her hospital gown; she wouldnât want to worry Hailey. (Y/N) limped out of the room, going down the halls to the elevator.Â
        She pressed the floor the pediatric branch was on, waiting rather impatiently for the doors to open again as she descended.
        Was Hailey okay? What did he mean by sheâs not in the greatest condition? Has she gained more symptoms, or weakened?
        Hailey has acute lymphoblastic leukemia, also known as ALL. Itâs a cancer inside the blood and bone marrow, where the infected white blood cells are rapidly multiplying, creating blocks in the blood and bones that could prevent other cells from getting through and working. The cancer comes with symptoms such as fever, frequent nose bleeds, weakness or fatigue, easy bruising, pain in the bones or stomach or groin, frequent infections, and swollen lymph nodes.Â
        Haileyâs most prominent symptoms are her swollen lymph nodes, hence why her voice is low and raspy, along with her bone pains in her legs, which is why sheâs bedridden. At least 90% of kids under 15 who have ALL survive, so long as theyâre treated. Even thought Hailey has been in the hospital for three years, sheâs made very little progress in recovering.Â
        Despite there being no stages in ALL cancer, if (Y/N) had to guess, sheâs assume Hailey would be in stage 3. Over the years of chemotherapy and medications, her infected white blood cells just seem to be multiplying more and more, hence why itâs called acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute means rapid.Â
        (Y/N)âs theory is that a doctor didnât give a strong enough dosage to Hailey, therefore the cells grew a resistance to the medication, creating a superbug that could withstand the medicine entirely.Â
        Even then, what matters is if Hailey is feeling alright. (Y/N) exited the elevator and limped down the hallways, making it to Haileyâs room and opening the door.
        âOh. Hello, Ms. (L/N)!â Hailey greeted brightly, her voice still hoarse and raspy, but having life to it. âWhat are you doing here? You said it was your day off!â
        Haileyâs upper body shot up quickly as she sat up from bed, a smile on her face as she greeted (Y/N). Her eyes were bright and lively, even waving her arm at the nurse.
        Oh.
        âSorry itâs so early!â (Y/N) smiled. âItâs at least 5 A.M. What are you doing up so early?âÂ
        âI couldnât sleep, I just had such a sudden burst of energy!â Hailey spoke. âI think Iâm getting better!â
        (Y/N) ignored that comment, sitting down on the guest chair in Haileyâs room. Her eyes trailed to the wheelchair that sat near her IV pole, a wheelchair thatâs only used for Hailey to wheel herself to the bathroom now, but even then she needs help from the nurses.Â
        âSo? Howâs that book youâre reading?â (Y/N) questioned.
        âIâm almost done with it. At least 30 pages away.â Hailey answered. âWhat are you doing here at the hospital? Itâs your night off; unless youâre working overtime again?â
        âYes! Iâm working overtime again.â (Y/N) lied, smiling at the girl.Â
        Itâs best not to tell her anything, not in her condition.
        âAre you cold? Why are you wearing a blanket?â Hailey questioned.
        âYes, Iâm cold. Iâm feeling a bit chilly at the moment. Itâs verging to winter and the hospital still hasnât adjusted the thermostat yet.â (Y/N) lied once more. âHey, remember when I said Iâll take you to the garden the next time I see you? Would you like to go right now?â
        Haileyâs eyes brightened even more, her grin widening as she nodded. âYes! I want to see the flowers!âÂ
        âLetâs get you in the wheelchair, yeah?â (Y/N) spoke, standing up from the chair and using the blanket to hide herself limping from Haileyâs sight.
        Hailey used her upper arms and was able to push herself to the edge of the bed on her own, even moving her knees a bit too! (Y/N) still carefully placed one of her arms under Haileyâs knees and the other on her back, picking up Hailey and placing her in the wheelchair.Â
        (Y/N) decided against the wheelchair restraints, not wanting Hailey to feel trapped at the moment. (Y/N) grabbed the blanket off Haileyâs bed, but Hailey spoke up.
        âWe can leave the blanket. I actually feel pretty warm at the moment.â Hailey spoke.
        The only warmth Hailey usually had was when she had a fire spreading in her legs, the bone pains acting up and causing many sleepless nights for her. Itâs why Hailey is almost always awake when (Y/N) does her rounds around the hospital at night.
        âItâs cold outside. Letâs take the blanket just in case.â (Y/N) persisted, smiling as she covered Haileyâs shoulders and down with the thin white cloth.Â
        Hailey decided not to argue against it and cooperated. (Y/N) wheeled Hailey out of the room, her pace a little slower than usually as she felt that stabbing sensation in her leg and stomach. It made her silently hitch her breath, her ears having a slight ring in them, yet she persisted.Â
        âGosh, I havenât seen these halls in forever.â Hailey spoke, her eyes scanning every nook and cranny of the white hallways. âYou know, I read that whenever you enter a unfamiliar area, the reason why you feel dizzy is because you have a sensory overload. Like, youâre saving mental images and color palettes and the layout of the area all in your head, that way you remember where you are the next time you go! Even though Iâve been here before, it feels like itâs my first time down these halls all over again.âÂ
        Yes, (Y/N) knows that. She was the one who gave Hailey the book she learned that from, but for Haileyâs sake (and to distract her mind from the pain), she decided to play dumb.
        âWow, really?â (Y/N) hummed, smiling. âI never knew that. It makes sense now that youâve explained it.â
        Hailey nodded, smiling. âYeah! I remember having that dizziness when I was at my friendâs for a sleepover.â She spoke, before her smile dropped. âThough, it was before I had cancer, or at least when I wasnât placed in the hospital⌠I sometimes miss having friends.â
        âWhy, of course you have friends.â (Y/N) spoke. âYou have me! And you have Doctor Ryan, and Penelope, and Ruby, and even Andrew too.âÂ
        âYeah, but I mean friends my age.â Hailey spoke.
        Normally, that could be arranged in the hospital so long as the patients arenât being exposed to a infectious disease or illness, especially in Haileyâs case since sheâs more prone to getting infections; however, Hailey didnât want to be friends with the other kids after her hair started falling out due to the chemotherapy. She was insecure of her appearance deteriorating, even if Penelope kept lying to her face and telling her she looked perfectly fine. Hailey preferred (Y/N) over Penelope for that reason. (Y/N) always told her the truth, or at least left it blank so there was no harsh comment.Â
        If Penelope asked (Y/N) if she looked sickly today, (Y/N) would tell her that a bit of water and food would help bring back some color to her face. It was a good way to not only promote healthy behavior for Hailey, but also it helped build trust in (Y/N) to always telling her the truth about her health. If she asked Penelope, Penelope wouldâve lied and said she looked as bright as the sun; which is kind, but she could tell Penelope was lying by how Penelopeâs right eye would twitch and bite her bottom lip.Â
        âI see⌠well, Iâm sure we can arrange that soon, when youâre ready.â (Y/N) smiled, taking Hailey into the elevator.
        (Y/N) pressed the lobby floor as Hailey spoke up.
        âAre the flowers even in bloom? Since itâs verging to winter?â Hailey questioned.
        âA secret between me and you; the flowers are fake.â (Y/N) whispered, acting as if there was a camera watching her or something. We have scented pads hidden in the soil to make it smell like flowers, and we wet the soil regularly to keep that earthy smell lingering.âÂ
        âReally?â Hailey gasped.
        âThatâs why theyâre always in bloom. Itâs depressing to have an empty garden, even something as small as colorful flowers give people hope.â (Y/N) explained.Â
        While fake flowers arenât present in most hospitals, this hospital was different. Even if they were always understaffed and overworked, they at least cared for their patients. Even if the staff excel at their work or not, at least they have work ethic.Â
        The elevator doors opened as (Y/N) wheeled Hailey down the hallways. (Y/N) noticed the stares from guests and even some patients; whether it was because of Haileyâs bald head or (Y/N)âs limp. (Y/N) noticed Haileyâs gripping the blanket on her, seconds away from raising the blanket above her head to hide it. (Y/N) recognized Haileyâs insecurity and spoke up.
        âYou know, Iâm thinking of starting a garden. A real garden with real flowers indoors, that way patients with allergies or conditions can see the flowers too without going outside.â (Y/N) spoke, redirecting Haileyâs attention. âI was wondering what flowers youâd like for me to add. Iâll do a survey with the other patients too, have a nice diversity of flowers. What do you think?âÂ
        âI think⌠itâs a nice idea.â Hailey smiled, letting go of the blanket. âI think daisies. You should do daisies.âÂ
        âThatâs a nice flower. Iâll see what I can do.â (Y/N) nodded, smiling as she pushed open the glass door, rolling Hailey to the garden.Â
        (Y/N) guided Hailey to the wooden bench, picking up Hailey and placing her down on the seat so she wouldnât be confided to the wheelchair.Â
        Hailey rambled on and on about anything and everything. She talked so much that (Y/N) contemplated if she should go fetch water for Haileyâs throat given how raspy it was, but she decided against it as she noticed the signs.
        Haileyâs bright smile, the almost whimsical joy in her eyes; an expression that (Y/N) thought Hailey has lost over the years as she spent her birthdays in this hospital.Â
        (Y/N) remembers bringing a cake for Haileyâs 7th birthday, the first they spent together. Even though Hailey admitted to not liking vanilla cake, she still ate it. It was the last birthday sheâd spend with her parents before they threw themselves at work, leaving Hailey along in the hospital with other sick patients and the staff.Â
        The second birthday they spent together, (Y/N) had to ditch the candles, concerned the smoke would affect Haileyâs lungs. At least the cake was homemade, even if the frosting looked a bit ugly. (Y/N) made sure it was chocolate this time, so Hailey could enjoy it.Â
        And the third birthday they spent together, (Y/N) made an ice cream cake, chocolate of course. She figured the ice cream would soothe Haileyâs throat and Hailey could still enjoy the flavor. It took many tries, but she succeeded in making the perfect cake, gifting Hailey books for her to read too.Â
        If (Y/N) had known it would be Haileyâs last birthday, she wouldâve made sure to go all out. Buy balloons and party streamers, force her parents to come back and see her, cover her head to toe in presents.Â
        Unfortunately, you canât change time.Â
        Haileyâs eyes shined as she spoke, talking about anything possible. She didnât have many who would listen to her, her doctors and nurses were there for work, and (Y/N) couldnât visit long since she had other patients to tend to. But now, (Y/N)âs off the clock. At the moment sheâs not Haileyâs nurse, sheâs Haileyâs friend.
        Eventually, Haileyâs voice faltered, before she let out a hum, satisfied as she rested her head on the bench. She took a deep breath, then sighed, smiling softly.
        âIt really does smell like flowers. Those are some good quality scent pads.â Hailey spoke.
        Fake flowers last for years; patients do not.
        âDo you ever wonder whatâs beyond us?â Hailey questioned after a long silence.
        âWhat do you mean?â (Y/N) questioned, turning her head to face the girl.
        âDeath. Like, do you ever wonder what happens after?â Hailey added.
        (Y/N) hummed, thinking as she kept her blanket wrapped around her, hiding her hospital gown just as Hailey hid from the cold.Â
        She wasnât sure. Many religions had their own ideals of life and death, but she doubted Hailey wanted an answer based on religion. She wasnât sure what was beyond. After trying to kill herself, everything in her life started losing value, a spiral of nothing and everything thrown at her all at once.Â
        Even if she stopped hurting herself physically, she couldnât stop mentally.
âI think it changes for everyone.â (Y/N) spoke. âLike, your own paradise. You could be surrounded by anyone you want, and anything you want.â
        âWhat would you want to be surrounded by?â Hailey questioned.
        She didnât have to think much on that matter. There wasnât much in her life she cared about anymore. She did nothing but work nowadays. She was an empty husk that worked itself to death to pass the time, awaiting Death by the door.Â
        If she couldnât open the door, sheâll make Death open it.Â
        âBeds.â (Y/N) answered.
        âReally? Thatâs it?â Hailey questioned, surprised and perhaps kindly disappointed. âI was expecting something⌠more. Like, deep, or wise.âÂ
        âYou canât expect everything to make sense in life, you know.â (Y/N) chuckled. âSometimes things just happen. I think thatâs whatâs so fun about life, itâs just a mystery to be solved at the end of the line through all that hard work; or, perhaps thereâs no mystery. Maybe it just coexists just like we do.âÂ
        âHow can your answer be so boring but your follow-up be so wise?â Hailey pouted, cause (Y/N) to chuckle.
        âHey, I never said Iâd give you any special answer.â (Y/N) pointed out.
        âBut, really, why beds?â Hailey questioned.
        âI just like sleeping.â (Y/N) smiled, giving part of the truth.
        âI guess itâll suffice.â Hailey sighed, disappointed.
        âAnd you? What would you like to be surrounded by?â (Y/N) questioned.
        âMy parents.â Hailey spoke. âAnd my old friends. And tons of my hair, like as much hair as Rapunzel.âÂ
        âThat sounds nice.â (Y/N) hummed. âThough, youâd have to brush your hair all the time. Maybe itâs not so good having hair, I canât stand mine at times.â (Y/N) spoke, trying to gently reassure Hailey.
        âWell, maybe just normal hair then. What it used to look like before.â Hailey spoke. âYouâd be there too. I wouldnât only see you when youâre working. Iâd see you outside of the hospital as my friend.âÂ
        âWhatâs it matter where or how you meet? As long as weâre still friends, I donât see any issue.â (Y/N) smiled.
        Hailey smiled, nodding. âI like that.âÂ
        Eventually, Hailey went quiet, no longer having any words to speak. She sat on the bench, observing her surroundings in a youthful fashion. Her eyes sparkled with life, her pulse relaxing as she enjoyed the false nature around her.
        âThank you for staying with me.â Hailey spoke up, her volume decreasing, the sound of her raspy voice cracking more. âI know itâs probably hard for you to see me like this.â
        âAnything for you, Hails.â (Y/N) smiled, wrapping her arm around Haileyâs shoulder and giving her a gentle side-hug.
        âThank you for not leaving me alone. It means a lot to meâŚâ Hailey muttered, taking a few deep breaths, before eventually subduing.Â
        (Y/N) glanced at the IV pole, looking at the fluids that gently flowed in Haileyâs veins, before she turned her attention back to Hailey.Â
        After a few minutes, there was no movement from Hailey. No breathing. No eye movement. No leg twitching. Just nothing.
        (Y/N) took a deep breath, smelling the fake flowers and wet soil, before letting out a sob sheâs been holding.Â
        Hailey had so much life, and yet she died so young. She was so lively in her final moments.
        All that matters now is sheâs not going to be in anymore pain and that she wasnât scared. (Y/N) thought.
        Even if kids under 15 have a 90% chance of surviving acute lymphoblastic leukemia, it doesnât mean itâs guaranteed. Life and death is really never a guarantee though, so itâs good to enjoy it while it lasts.
        If only (Y/N) could follow her own advice.
        (Y/N) covered her face in her hands, crying now that Hailey was gone, so she wouldnât see her tears. This hurt way worse than any stab she could endure.Â
        (Y/N) almost contemplated covering Haileyâs face with the her blanket, but she decided against it. She didnât want to be ashamed of Hailey or her presence, she didnât want to forget Hailey or brush her aside.
        (Y/N) stood up, deciding not to waste much time, and picked Hailey up, putting her in the wheelchair. She had such lifeless and glazed eyes, her mouth was slightly open and her arms flayed motionless as (Y/N) moved. She doesnât look like the suddenly bright and cheerful Hailey from just a few minutes ago.
        Terminal Lucidity. Itâs an unknown phenomenon that can happen before death, giving you suddenly more strength, a clearer consciousness, and even regaining memory. Itâs surprisingly common, at least 88% experiencing the symptoms before death. It can happen from minutes to hours to days before death, and it has a habit of giving false hope to the patients loved ones. While itâs quite common in dementia patients, it can also happen to those with neurological problems or in some special cases those with cancer.
        In the hospital, a terminal patient suddenly acting lively and alert is usually a bad thing because it means theyâre near death. Itâs not quite known why, but some speculate it could be the brainâs last fight, before eventually giving in.Â
        (Y/N) wheeled Haileyâs dead body to the hospitalâs mortuary. She checked the body in, guessing the nearest time of death since she didnât have a watch on her, and the cause of death. She wrote down the parental numbers so they could be contacted, before lumping her way back to the elevator.
        The ride up was deathly silent, not that anyone was in the elevator to talk to her, but it was silent in her mind too. Usually sheâd at least be thinking of things to do, but she had no thoughts in her mind.
        The elevator doors opened and (Y/N) walked out. She walked back to her own hospital room, exhausted and tired. Tears threatened to escape her eyes once more, the pain of losing Hailey and the pain of her wounds piling up on her.Â
        She opened the door, surprised to see Andrew there, sleeping in his wheelchair with his arms crossed. (Y/N) wasnât sure whether to feel annoyed or happy. Annoyed because she wanted to cry and sleep, but also happy because it meant she wasnât alone with her thoughts and feelings.Â
        The door opened, jolting Andrew awake. He was probably in a light sleep, whether because he was expecting (Y/N) or because the wheelchair is uncomfortable to sleep in. Whatever the reason was, he was awake.
        His eyes trailed to (Y/N), doing his best not to smile and brighten up at her presence (that would be so lame if he did that).
        âHey.â Andrew spoke.
        âHey.â (Y/N) parroted, throwing her blanket at Andrew for him to use instead as she got up in her hospital bed.
        There was no point in hiding her hospital gown now that Hailey was dead, so that blanket could now be used by Andrew while she got under her own hospital bedsheets.Â
        âYou can go to your room, you know. Iâm fine on my own.â (Y/N) spoke.
        âSo? You got stabbed.â Andrew gruffed, catching the blanket and placing it down on his lap.
        âAnd you have two broken legs, mister. You should still be recovering after surgery.â (Y/N) scolded lightly.
        Her response caused Andrew to chuckle. Even injured and off the clock, she still worried about others. Andrew wasnât sure if it was because she was his nurse or if she was just trying to be a decent human, but he relished the attention anyways.Â
        âAh, câmon. I feel fine.â He chuckled.Â
        (Y/N) resisted the urge to kick his leg to prove him wrong, yet she decided not to be petty today. She hummed, lying down on her bed.Â
        âIs there something you want from me? Why are you here?â (Y/N) questioned, looking at the clock.
        It was 6:30 A.M. Sheâll be here in the hospital until 3 P.M. She wasnât fond of that. She needed to bury Ashleyâs body and deep clean her apartment. Even though the police hopefully had no trace it was her, and hopefully they didnât invade in her apartment and swab the place (which, they better of not considering itâd be illegal without her permission or a warrant).Â
        Not really. Andrew thought.
        He just came over as soon as he heard (Y/N) was put in the emergency unit thanks to Penelopeâs big mouth. He doesnât really know why he came here, maybe just out of curiosity to see how bad she was hurt. All humans are curious when something bad happens.
        Maybe he just wanted to spend more time with her, to be happy she was here with him. Itâs not like she could fight much with him, she was tired and her eyes were red.
        Red eyes. Was she crying?
        âI just figured I see you, since youâre here. It gives me something to do other than being stuck in that hospital bed.â Andrew spoke.
        âAnd now youâre stuck in a hospital wheelchair.â (Y/N) chuckled.
        âForget about me. Are you okay?â Andrew questioned.
        âYeah. I told you. It doesnât hurt much.â (Y/N) lied, ignoring the pulses inside her wounds.
        âI wasnât talking about that. I mean, are you okay? You look like youâve been crying.â Andrew pointed out, leaning back in his chair as he looked at her.
        (Y/N) paused, thinking. Would it be against hospital protocol to say a patientâs status or info to someone if theyâre dead?Â
        Well, you only live once. And Andrew doesnât look like a snitch.Â
        âHailey died.â (Y/N) spoke. âAnd, her parents werenât there to say goodbye. Really, never visited her much either.âÂ
        âThat sucksâŚâ Andrew muttered.
        Heâs not too sure if he could care or not. Yeah, it sucks a kid died, but why should he care about a kid he had no connection with? She died, might as well get over it.
        âIt happens more than I like around here. They pass without their family around.â (Y/N) spoke. âBut, I just canât stand when the parents arenât there for their kids. They die scared, thatâs no way to die, for a kid or adult.âÂ
        (Y/N) spoke, looking out her window as the sun started rising.Â
        She wondered where Andrewâs parents were. Why arenât they here to visit him? Do they not know heâs here? Or perhaps they donât want to visit their child whoâs a murdererâŚ
        âWhat shitty parents.â Andrew spoke with no filter.
        âYeah,â (Y/N) chuckled, âthatâs what I think too.âÂ
        To really care about someone you donât have any blood-relation to, must be a special kind of bond; itâs one you can choose, not one youâre born with, unlike the one Andrew and Ashley shares.
        âSo, whereâs your parents?â Andrew questioned.
        âIâm an adult, I donât need them checking up on me.â (Y/N) spoke.
        âYeah, but, wouldnât it be nice? A sense of security and all?â Andrew questioned.
        âWell, whereâs your parents?â (Y/N) retorted, a bit annoyed.
        So what? Itâs not like if she called them theyâd come rushing to her. Her mother would care less seeing (Y/N) in a hospital again, and her father would probably go berserk and try to bring her back home where it was safe.Â
        âTouchĂŠ.â Andrew chuckled. âBut I have my sister to visit me.âÂ
        (Y/N) mentally grimaced at that, doing her best to not make a face so Andrew wouldnât question it.Â
        Not anymoreâŚÂ she thought.
        Her hands suddenly felt dirty again. She didnât know what to do with her hands, so she hid them in the hospital blanket. Once again, Andrew was intrigued with her hands after seeing her hide them. Itâs like everything she hides them, he immediately gets curious and wants to see them.Â
        He knows of the obvious self-harm scars now, he saw those when she was sleeping. And he saw the small scars and burns from everyday life, but why care so much about them?Â
        Maybe itâs just something you have to go through in order to understand. You canât understand everything on the first try, especially if you have no experience in it.
        Sure, he was admitted for jumping a rooftop, but thatâs a bit different than self-harming. Jumping a rooftop is one clear goal; suicide. It has subcategories such as wanting to escape life, or having too many problems to run away from.Â
        Self-harming, on the other hand, is more complex. The desire to harm yourself is there, but you donât want to die immediately. Itâs a slow steady process building up. You hurt yourself possibly because you feel ashamed, that you feel like you deserve to hurt because thatâs all youâre worth. Or perhaps itâs to relieve stress or pain. Thereâs not always such a strong intent to die when you hurt yourself? sometimes pain is the only thing people know that they use to feel normal or detached. Perhaps they even get pressured into hurting themselves. Self-harming isnât to die, itâs to make yourself suffer because you feel that thatâs what you need.Â
        The question is: what is her reasoning?Â
        The question left him wondering, he was almost compelled to answer, but she didnât look to be in a good mood, so he decided against it.
        (Y/N)âs eyes trailed to the digital recorder on her bedside. Doctor Ryan had left it on her bedside earlier, but he didnât explain what was on it. She reached over and grabbed it, studying it.
        It was a shiny silver recorder, with a slot for polaroid photos to slip out of. (Y/N) turned on the camera, pressing a button to the camera roll. The camera roll opened, multiple short videos at least 10 or 20 seconds showing.Â
        She clicked on one and turned it on, seeing a video of one of her patients. They had black hair and black eyes, sitting in their hospital bed with an IV needle in her arm and bandages around her head. She recently had surgery for a tumor in her brain, now resting in bed.
        âHi, Ms. (L/N)! I heard you were doing unwell and I wanted to say please get better and visit me when youâre healthy!â the patient smiled.
        (Y/N) chuckled, a smile plastered on her face as she looked at the footage. Andrew wheeled his way over to her side, curious to what she was smiling at. He rested his arm on the bedside, leaning over and looking at the footage.Â
        (Y/N) moved the camera in the center of them so they both could see. She clicked the next video, pressing play.
        A boy with brown hair looked at the camera, confused. âWhat do I say?â
        âSay get better.â Doctor Ryan whispered from behind the camera.
        âGet better.â The boy spoke.
        âNow add more to it, say nice things.â Doctor Ryan whispered, resisting the urge to chuckle.Â
        âNice things.â The kid spoke.Â
        âNo. What do you like about Nurse (L/N).â Doctor Ryan spoke, now using his normal volume instead of whispering.
        âI like that sheâs nice.â The kid smiled.
        âNow say it to the camera.â Doctor Ryan pushed.
        âI like that youâre nice, camera.â The boy smiled, one of his front teeth were missing, only adding to the cuteness.
        âAh, close enough.â Doctor Ryan chuckled, ending the video.
        (Y/N) giggled at the video while Andrew remained unfazed. She clicked the next video, pressing play. There was a girl inside Doctor Ryanâs office, there for an appointment. She was a frequent regular for common colds, so (Y/N) recognized her instantly.Â
        âHi, Ms. (L/N)! Please get better soon, Doctor Ryanâs handwriting is too messy! I like yours better!â she smiled.
        âHey! Itâs not messy, you just canât read the prescriptions because itâs long words!â Doctor Ryan laughed.
        âStill bad.â The kid smiled.Â
        âOh whatever.â Doctor Ryan chuckled from behind the camera, ending the video.
        The kid was right, Doctor Ryanâs handwriting was bad. The kid would try to read the prescriptions on the paper but couldnât read the big messy words, so (Y/N) would just simply write âcold medicineâ so the girl could read it.Â
        (Y/N) smiled, going through more and more videos as she chuckled and grinned at the kids, their thoughts and feelings, and seeing their current statuses.Â
        She eventually got to the last video, the caption above saying it was recorded just eight hours ago, when (Y/N) was still sleeping in the hospital after surgery.Â
        âHi, Ms. (L/N)!â the patient with blonde hair smiled, revealing to be Hailey, lively and well.
        âI heard youâre unwell and I hope you get better really soon! I canât wait to see you again and to read the books you lend me. Please get well soon, I miss you already!â Hailey smiled.
        âWow, she looked to be getting better.â Andrew commented, pointing at the screen. âI wonder what happenedâŚâ
        Even though Hailey was lively and well, anybody with medical knowledge would know that she was doing bad.
        âTerminal lucidity.â (Y/N) answered. âSometimes before you die, your brain acts out on a last defense. You gain more energy and strength; but itâs fruitless.â She explained.
        âOh⌠that blowsâŚâ Andrew muttered.
    No wonder she seemed much more vocal and confident today than she did yesterday. He wondered if he died, would he act like that too before kicking the bucket? That must hurt for the loved ones who donât understand.Â
        âIt doesâŚâ (Y/N) sighed, her mind going blank as she stared out in the distance. Â
        When things become too much, itâs better not to think and just go on auto-pilot. Itâs how (Y/N) went through her life when things became too much.
        Itâs unhealthy, she knows that, but it helps her cope with reality.Â
        She turned off the camera screen, burning a hole into her lap as she looked at the black screen. She spaced out, going motionless.
        Andrew noticed, unsure whether to speak up or not. She was obviously feeling distraught and he wasnât sure if she should be wallowing in her feelings or not.
        Auto-pilot took over and decided it wanted her to cry. Tears started pouring down her face before she knew it, only causing Andrew to shift uncomfortably in his chair. He sighed, grabbing her hand and holding it.Â
        âHey⌠itâs okay.â Andrew spoke awkwardly.Â
        âNo, itâs not.â She spoke, her voice cracking. âAll these kids, they shouldnât have to go through this so young. They shouldn't be in pain or dying.âÂ
        Itâs admirable, her care for others. It must take a good heart to do that, always worrying about others instead of herself. Andrew wondered if he was like that before all this happened. Was he a good person before he jumped and lost most of his memory?Â
        No, probably not. This is reality, not a dream. He doubts that he was a good person, judging by the way he acted with Ashley the past three months he could remember. His parents ignored his calls, his girlfriend broke up with him on the phone, and he killed multiple people and even ate his neighbor!
        Yeah, definitely not a good person.
        âThere, thereâŚâ Andrew muttered awkwardly, squeezing her hand hesitantly. âSometimes things just happen?â
        âBut they shouldnât happen to kids. Theyâve been brought in this world just to get taken out when life has barely even started for them. These poor kids.â She cried, squeezing Andrewâs hand tightly for comfort. âThey shouldnât be wanted to die so early on. They should be enjoying life, not wondering when itâll end.âÂ
        Normally, sheâd just hide her feelings or bottle it up until she got home, but she canât even go home and cry because she has a body to bury and a apartment to clean.Â
        Life just keeps piling up on her more and more. It feels like a never ending cycle of pain. The only time she even feels happy now in reality, without sleeping, is seeing kids happy and smiling. How can she be happy if they keep dying? How can she be happy if these kids keep getting their happiness robbed?
        Andrew contemplated what he should do. Should he let her vent? Should he try and comfort her more? Should he offer her to shut up and shove advice down her throat?Â
        He decided it was probably best to just comfort her, heâd rather not see her cry. She can be emotional outside of his vision. As much as he likes this nurse, he hates sensitive people; maybe he just doesnât like seeing someone he favors crying.Â
        Andrew sighed, reaching over and placing both his hands on her face, wiping the tears off her cheeks with his thumbs.Â
        âHey, donât cry.â He spoke. âIt doesnât look good on you, you know?â        Â
        (Y/N) sniffled as she tried to speak. The muscles in her throat felt restricting, preventing her from putting them to use, so she only just shook her head.
        âThat video showed Hailey saying that she wanted you to get better, right?â Andrew pointed out, wiping the tears into her skin.Â
        (Y/N) nodded, unsure of where he was trying to go with this.
        âSo, she knew you werenât feeling good, even when she wasn't doing good herself She cares about your health. Do you think crying would make her happy?â Andrew questioned. âI think it would just worry her about you. You wouldnât want her to worry about you, would you?âÂ
        (Y/N) shook her head, her shoulders shaking from her sobs.Â
        "You were there for her when no one else was? Isn't that all that matters in a kid's final moments?" Andrew questioned.
        Andrew's right, at least they didn't die alone. Dying alone must be one of the worst ways to die, alone to succumb to your own thoughts and regrets of what could've happen and what did. It must be worse slowly deteriorating over time, at least dying quick you wouldn't be alone with your thoughts, but dying alone just leaves your thoughts, which slowly fade over time the more and more you stop living and just start existing, before even you lose that too.Â
        Yeah, being alone sucks, (Y/N) can vouch for that. Coming home to an empty house with nobody to greet you, eating meals alone, waking up alone and going to sleep alone, shopping alone. It's kind of like dying alone in one way. You're just waiting for that time to come when eventually you stop doing those other things, so you just go on autopilot and wait. Of course, she could easily change all that by dating someone or getting a pet for at home, but it's just so exhausting trying to find a good person to spend the rest of your life with.Â
        There's a reason so many people are single in the dating pool. Besides, she doubts anyone would want to date her with her work schedule; she sleeps in the day and either works at night or stays up at night on her days off. Let's not forget how she's constantly tired and depressed, dating someone like her would be such a buzzkill, you'd have to be desperate; at least that's what her mother said to her last time they met up for dinner.Â
        (Y/N)âs tears stopped, realizing Andrew was right. Hailey wouldnât want her crying, and if (Y/N) died, she wouldnât want to be sad either.
        (Y/N)âs sadness was soon replaced with embarrassment once she realized she was crying. Crying in front of a man and have the audacity to rely on him for her own emotions. It only makes it worse that he was her patient. This must be wrong in some way to be touching her patient like this, considering Andrew isnât in any need of reassurance she should be providing as his nurse.Â
        She pushed him away rather quickly, wiping her own tears out of her eyes instead of him doing it for her. Andrew looked confused, mentally wondering if he did something wrong.Â
        Why the sudden change?
        (Y/N) adverted her eyes from his face, feeling childish and insecure for crying in front of someone. Even if he was pretty handsome to her, sheâd rather not see the pity, or any other sort of expression on his face.Â
        Andrew felt a bit annoyed at the sudden change. He was just holding her and comforting her. She was even leaning against him and crying into his chest! Why did she suddenly push him away? Why did she suddenly not want him anymore?
        His eye unconsciously twitched, showing his mild annoyance as a tinge of insecurity washed over him. Before he could question the sudden change of heart, the door opened, Penelope walking into the room.
        Penelopeâs face brightened once she saw (Y/N), before it dropped noticing Andrew. Penelope suddenly became skittish, playing with her fingers as she avoided Andrewâs gaze (glare).Â
        âUm⌠Mr. Graves, youâre not supposed to be here at night. Itâs protocol for patients to be in their rooms in the night.â Penelope muttered, her green eyes staring down at the white tiles. âShould I escort you back to your room?â
        âNo.â He spoke quickly, wanting nothing to do with Penelope.
        Andrew looked back at (Y/N), his gaze softening just a bit as he looked a bit concerned for her. He didnât want to leave her. What if she needed help with something? What if she cried some more? What if she needed him?
        Andrew mentally groaned, conflicted with his emotions. He unlocked his wheelchair and wheeled to the door, Penelope stepping to the side so he could pass by her.Â
        âYou can come back during visiting hours.â Penelope added quietly, resulting in a harsh glare from Andrew.
        If only looks could kill.
        Penelope watched as Andrew left the room, before she closed the door behind her for privacy.
        âGosh, heâs just so intimidatingâŚâ Penelope groaned, taking a seat in the roomâs guest chair.Â
        âHeâs not so badâŚâ (Y/N) hummed, smiling.
        (Y/N)âs not too sure why Penelopeâs afraid of Andrew. Sure, heâs a man, but heâs not really intimidating. Perhaps sheâs grown desensitized to him and his menacing aura.Â
        Or you know, perhaps she just likes red flags. A killer cannibal certainly is a red flag, but thatâs just a theory.
        Besides, whatâs he gonna do with two broken legs? Punch her? Penelope just has to climb up on the hospital bed or take the stairs.Â
        Penelope took in (Y/N)âs appearance, a frown making way on her face.
        "Oh, you poor thing!" she spoke, the words sounding degrading enough, especially after (Y/N) was just crying a few minutes ago. "Who could do such a thing to you?"
        "Who knows..." (Y/N) muttered, ignoring the sudden shock of anger shooting through her.
    She looked at Andrew. Why did Penelope look at Andrew? Yeah, she was searching for him to bring him back to his room, but did she have to advert her eyes and mutter like a damn school girl?Â
        The sudden jealousy pissed (Y/N) off, why was she acting like this? Why did she care? What does Penelope even want?
    "Did you need something?" (Y/N) questioned, not doing too well to hide her annoyance.
    Luckily, Penelope was a bit oblivious, yet still seemed a bit on edge.
    "Oh, sorry... Well, before I speak, how do you feel? Do you need anything? Food or water? Painkillers?" Penelope questioned.
    "I'm doing fine..." (Y/N) spoke, gritting her teeth as she smiled.
    "Good. Well, did you hear the news about that patient? Andrew Graves?" Penelope questioned.
    "What about him?" (Y/N) questioned, glancing at Penelope suspiciously as another volt of jealousy shot through her.Â
    "Well, I did some digging online, and I found out he's wanted!" Penelope spoke, her voice a bit too loud for her liking.
    "So?" (Y/N) questioned, already knowing this information, before she quickly switched up her attitude, realizing that wasn't an appropriate social response. "Wait, what? Wanted? Like, by the police?"Â
    "Yes!" Penelope nodded, leaning closer to (Y/N) in her chair as she spoke. "Wanted for murder! They said he killed four people at their old apartment. Him and his sister, Ashley. They even said one of the bodies had meat cut off it and it was cut up in pieces! They found DNA and blood in their kitchen, on the counter and pots and silverware!"Â
    Well, the police only has to worry about one sibling now... (Y/N) thought to herself.Â
    (Y/N) stayed silent, unsure of what a functioning human would respond to this. Honestly, she's grown quite comfortable with the fact Andrew is a killer and a cannibal.Â
    "I mean, that's just... vile! And disgusting! How could someone do that?" Penelope questioned, her face turning as green as her eyes.Â
    "Why did they do it?" (Y/N) questioned.
    "H-huh?" Penelope questioned, surprised. "What do you mean? They kill four people and ate one! They must be insane or something."Â
    "Let's not jump to conclusions. We don't know why they did it." (Y/N) spoke. "Penelope, we should know better than anyone else that people act out for reasons. We're nurses, we deal with mental breakdowns and patients lashing out all the time, and we know they have motives behind it."Â
    "Yeah, but that's a medical setting, when something's generally wrong with them! Andrew seems stable enough!" Penelope spoke. "He must've knew what he was doing!"Â
    "Peer pressure?" (Y/N) suggested. "Perhaps his act is a facade? We don't know a person's thoughts or feelings. For all we knew, they could've been in a dire situation. I mean, who just randomly kills four people in one day and run? Something must've happened."
    Penelope looked frustrated, her bottom lip pouting as she clenched her fists. "And? So? Why should we care?! He killed four people, you know! We need to call the police!"
    "No! You can't!" (Y/N) quickly shot up from the bed, flinching as she felt a stabbing pain in her stomach where her wound was.Â
    "What? Why not?" Penelope questioned, surprised at the sudden outburst as she leaned back in her chair. "Why are you defending him? We're nurses! We need to help protect people. He could hurt someone else here!"Â
    "No! You can't take him!" (Y/N) shouted, throwing the bedsheets off her and rushing to Penelope, ignoring the pain shooting throughout her body as she placed both of her hands on the arm chairs, caging Penelope in. "You can't do that! I won't let you."
    "W-what? W-why are you acting like this?" Penelope squeaked, her hands pressing together as she curled herself up in a ball, sinking herself down in her chair as she stared up at (Y/N), frightened.
    (Y/N) paused, realizing the sudden position she put herself in. Damn it! Why did she just lash out like that? She's never like this! Why can't she just let Andrew go? She needed to think of something quick to diffuse this situation and convince Penelope not to report Andrew.
    "Don't you understand? The police are just going to keep him here until he heals up to where he can go to jail. If you report him now and he's aware of that, he might snap and actually hurt people." (Y/N) spoke, trying to come up with a false reason. "You'll just enrage him and give him a motive to hurt others. He hasn't injured anyone severely these past days, only a few books and hits thrown because he was afraid of us recognizing him and calling the police."
    Penelope looked uncertain, contemplating whether she should listen to the younger and injured nurse in front of her.Â
    "B-butâ" Penelope started, but was cut off by (Y/N).
    "Penelope, please. Don't be an idiot. Don't do something so unfathomably stupid!" (Y/N) pleaded.
    Just make the idea look stupid. Just act like Penelope's the one being insensible.Â
    "He could really hurt someone if the police come and tell him he's arrested. They're just going to explain that he's under arrest, and will be escorted to prison once the doctors deem him healthy enough to go. He'll just be here, drugged up from his surgeries, and that could cause him to not think sensibly, it'll make him more of a hazard to others. We can't afford that, Penelope." (Y/N) explained.Â
    Penelope adverted her eyes, (Y/N)'s words seeming to sink into her as she started to appear ashamed of what she was previously proposing.       Â
    "So... what now?" Penelope questioned. "He's not going to be able to stay here long anyways. We have no emergency contacts to contact for him. He has no records inside our hospital. He can't even fill out any of our forms or such because of his amnesia, either that or he's pretending to not to know the information." Penelope explained. "He doesn't have health insurance or can't remember it, and I doubt he can afford the hospital bills if he can't even remember anything! He probably doesn't even know his banking information if he has it!"Â
        âIf we tell him that, itâll be bothersomeâŚâ (Y/N) explained. âI mean⌠he could get mad and hurt someone.â
        âExactly!â Penelope exclaimed. âI-I donât know what to do! Should we bring this up to HR or the head nurse?âÂ
        âNo.â (Y/N) spoke quickly. âI-I mean, câmon? Itâs hard to trust these so-called professionals. The hospital is notorious for its accidents and fatalities. I mean, we're all working here because we were rejected by other hospitals because of our questionable backgrounds and court filings! For gods sake, thereâs an advisement a town from here that has a doctor suggesting anesthesia for depression and it has our hospital name on it! We can't trust the board for anything!"
        âBut⌠what can we do?â Penelope questioned, feeling hopeless.
        âWeâre the smartest nurses in this whole shithole,â (Y/N) spoke.
        Maybe it was an exaggeration, but she needed Penelope to believe her, or at least stop her from reporting Andrew so that he could escape.
        Why does she care so much about a wrongdoer? He should be in prison, he should pay for what heâs done, but for some reason thereâs a stabbing sensation in her chest at just the thought of not seeing him again. The feeling was almost as painful as the bleeding wound she currently had.
        She needed new bandages, sheâs been putting too much stress her body. She would ask Penelope, but sheâd rather not stick around with Penelope any longer. Sure, having Penelope around would make it so sheâs less likely to snitch, but thereâs also the possibility that she could potentially catch (Y/N)âs unnatural behavior and go back on her words.Â
    "I-I just... what if we're making the wrong choice? I can't stand the thought that someone can get hurt." Penelope spoke.
    (Y/N) almost felt sorry for the young nurse. The nurse was only three years older than her, yet she seems utterly more helpless in life than (Y/N). Penelope has a bad luck streak with everything. She's terrible at math and doing her taxes. She's terrible at thinking for herself. She's grown up from foster home to foster home. Every relationship she's been in has been disastrous.Â
        (Y/N) would care if Penelope didnât have such an unhealthy obsession about finding love. The whole reason she became a nurse was to try and nurse someone to health so theyâd love her; itâs almost sad, really.
        âI just canât believe itâŚâ Penelope groaned, burying her face into her hands. âWhy are the cute guys always so unstable?â
        Nevermind. (Y/N) doesnât feel sad for her at all. Absolutely no pity. Void of emotion. She was almost considering the idea of murdering Penelope. Seriously, you're caring about how cute a guy is despite him being a major threat to your life? Should you really be focusing on a cannibal's looks.Â
        (Y/N) decided to bite her tongue. There was no reason to start a fight (that, and maybe she's just a bit guilty of this as well...) It still didn't stop the bubbling pot boiled inside her stomach and chest as she glared at Penelope though.Â
        âPenelope, can you go find my nurse? I need a new change of bandages.â (Y/N) grumbled, desperate for Penelope to leave her as she sat back down on her bed, wincing as she overstrained herself once more.
        Maybe cornering and intimidating a person while injured isnât the best course of action.
        âO-oh, right! Sure!â Penelope spoke, popping up from her makeshift ball as she stood up from her chair. âWhats your nurseâs name? Iâll go find them.âÂ
        âI donât know their name. I didnât met them, only my doctor.â (Y/N) explained.
        âOh, okay then. Well, Iâll ask around and see if I can find them.â Penelope spoke, walking to the door. âDoor open or closed?âÂ
        âClose it.â (Y/N) answered.
        Penelope nodding, closing the door and leaving (Y/N) to her own devices. (Y/N) let out a sigh of relief that Penelope was gone; however, there were other things to worry about.
        She needed to figure out a way to solve the Andrew situation. She could talk to Andrew herself and see if he has any insurance. She might be able to judge if heâs lying or not about knowing anything, if Andrewâs a good liar or not, that is.Â
        She almost felt compelled to leave her room and go to Andrewâs. She could tell him what happens; no health insurance means paying the full entirety of the bills, which could be five digits to possibly even six after all his car, special requests/needs, surgeries, and days heâs spent admitted.
        Itâs fine⌠she just needs to sleep. She can deal with it another day. If she sleeps now, time will pass quicker and she can get discharged.Â
        She closed her eyes, seeing nothing but darkness as she used her drawback to escapism once more, distancing herself from reality as she did her best not to think about her patient.
And chapter 5 is done! I do apologize for it being so long, I wasn't planning on it being so long but I guess I did get a bit carried away... Chapter 6 will have quite a bit of drama and new characters being introduced! Now I just have to get chapter 6 done... which I'm unsure of when will be done, but it's in the works already! Thank you for your patience and for reading, and I'm excited for you all to see the development of (Y/N) and Andrew!

IWTV S2 - ANOTHER commercial teaser!? Analysis & EP5 Theories
Lord, I have places to be in the morning, but AMC thinks it's cute to release multiple teasers in a day. đ
This is a SPICY one for Louis, too! đ
We start with the familiar "Me n' you; you n' me" from Louis, but we see a teensy bit more of his fallout with Claudia:
Claudia's head is being pushed down into something as she screams.
And thanks to the teaser we got earlier today, we can assume Lou's in the burlap sack the (the night the Theatre jumps him, Claud & Madz).
They jump from Claudia yelling at Louis, to Louis yelling "YOU left ME!" I NEED to know who Louis is talking to--it's a hard cut from Claudia to Louis, but I bet he's talking to someone else.
Cuz of the cut to Armand looking concerned as he calls Lou's name (Merrick?), now I'm thinking about the books, where we know Armand left Louis (in IWTV) for Daniel (in QotD). So is that a Loumand argument? đ Cuz I'm telling y'all, I don't trust them in Dubai, and the goat Carol Cutshall already threw shade their way, with the "so-called love of his life" line. I'm side-eying them HEAVY.
And good grief, poor Louis' going THROUGH IT in his dark room.
But the REAL reason I'm posting all this is cuz of this juicy morsel:
đł LOUSTAT KISSING IN EPISODE 5 FOOTAGE. đł
AMC, what in heaven's name is HAPPENING!?
Neither Louis nor Lestat are injured here, so does this clip happen:
1) In 1931, right before Claudia came home?
2) Or even earlier, back in 1923, when Loustat was arguing about Claudia's "hunger strike"? Cuz we know Louis wore the same blue sweater TWICE in Ep5.
3) OR, this is legit from the Ep5 fight, while they were upstairs, during the parts we didn't see while they were in the coffin/bedroom?
Was it "over" cuz Louis was desperately tryna kiss and make up? Did it not work, cuz Lestat knew/convinced himself that Lou was playing him--"maybe it's the gin, my love"? Cuz Les is the one to push Louis through the wall.
I dunno, I need sleep. đŤ
[EDIT] I'm dead wrong (and blind).
Thank you so much @loustat-0 -- yup, I just saw @squirrellypoo's post explaining that you have to really crank up the lighting to be able to tell that this is Louis' jean jacket from Hallucination!Lestat we've seen in 1000 other trailers, NOT the blue sweater from EP5.
Thank GOD, cuz I went to bed just DREADING what people would start saying about Ep5. đ¤Ś

The Nurse Pt 1.
You laid on the cold, hard hospital bed starring at the ceiling, trying your best to hold back your tears. Your tears were the final thing you felt you still had some control of, the final connection you felt you had to your masculinity, they fell despite your best effort. The diaper wrapped around your midsection warmed as you felt urine trickle over your now hairless balls and absorb in the soft damp padding under your cheeks, as if to confirm your masculinity was indeed a thing of the past.
You tried not to let the diagnosis replay itself in your head for the millionth time, but it seemed, as if with all things, that too was out of your control. "The surgery had some unexpected complications." "Fully incontinent" "adult briefs". You ventured a feel under your blanket. Hand running under the hospital gown to collide abruptly with smooth plastic. You ran your hand over the swollen bulge probing gingerly at the soft padding. It was so thick you could hardly feel your own dick through all of the padding.Â
"Diapers", you thought, "I'm going to be stuck in diapers for the rest of my life." The tears came unabated now.Â
There was a sudden knock at the door, and it creaked open.Â
"Mr.... Mr. Smith?"
You quickly pulled your hand from under your sheets, and tried to wipe the tears from your eyes.
You clear your throat and sit up with a sniffle. "Erhm, yes. Yes that's me."
You were dismayed to see the nurse that entered the room was some 5 years your junior, and absolutely beautiful. You could read on her face that your attempts to hide your emotions had been futile. She wore a mask of sadness and pity.Â
"I'm sorry, do you... do you need a minute?" She asked, brushing her hair back anxiously with her fingers.
"No, no. I'm... I'm fine." You say trying to regain your composure. "What, what is it?"
"Well I'm here to ummm, well, to get you cleaned up."
"Oh..." you stammer, the reality of the situation donning on you. "No, there's no need for you to do that. I can manage it I'm sure."
"Yeah, um, I'm sure you can, but you see it's hospital policy I'm afraid. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I uh, well I do this all the time, haha." She chuckled the last part uncomfortably.
"What? Why is that hospital policy? I promise it's not an issue."
"Yes, I know I know. I wish that wasn't the case, but I'm sure you can understand, a lot of our other patients who have... recently started using protection, are much less capable of you, and well some of them get embarrassed as well. We, need to be certain that you're changed" she paused "that you have adequate protection until you are discharged from our care. It's a legal thing, I'm sure you understand, right? Plus! Looking at your chart it seems we're just holding you overnight for observation, so you'll be out of here and on your own by tomorrow morning! Isn't that good news?"
Tears once again stung the back of your eyes. "Please be quick." You affirmed with a crack in your voice.Â
The nurse nodded curtly and started pulling on her nitrile gloves. From under your bed she produced a fresh folded diaper, a plastic tube of ointment, a large plastic bottle, and a package of wipes. 'So much equipment' you thought. So much is needed for me just to use the bathroom now.' She placed all of it beside you and stopped.
"I'm Sarah" she said.
"Matt." You replied looking away.
"Nice to meet you Matt. I'm sorry that this is happening to you. But you should know you're not alone. I see patients everyday that need to wear protection. I know it seems like the end of the world right now, but I promise in the grand scheme of things it's really not that bad."
You nod quietly, afraid to speak for fear of loosing your cool, and crying through your first diaper change as an 'adult'. You knew she was lying. How many diapers did she ever change on a 30 year old man? ZERO. That was your bet.
"Now, I understand this is your first time wearing a brief?"
"Diaper" you thought, lips pursed tightly. She didn't continue. Finally you nodded.
"Right, well, with you being discharged tomorrow I'm going to show you some things ok. I promise I'm a real pro."
With that she unfolded the tightly packed diaper and crumpled it back and forth in her hands, as if to advertise: this is how loud and noticeable the diaper will be.
"We call this floofing. It breaks up the material so it's softer and more absorbent." She explained. "Now," she pulled your hospital sheet off of you and began to pull up your gown.
Reflexively you grabbed her wrist and pushed her hand away.
"Mr... Matt, please. I promise it's nothing I haven't seen. I'm trying to 'be quick' remember?"
You release your grip on the soft smooth skin of her forearm and let your hand fall. Suddenly ashamed and embarrassed at your outburst.Â
"I'm sorry." You stammer, stealing yourself for the inevitable.Â
"That's ok. I know this must be hard for you." She says pulling up your gown to reveal your sodden yellowed diaper.Â
You couldn't help but look down at yourself. The infantile plastic fabric mounded between your legs seemed huge. Worse yet it was stained yellow, with your piss. "When did I do all that?" You thought. For the first time since Sarah had entered a tinge of fear overpowered your humiliation. "Do I really have that little control of myself now? Am I really that broken?"
As if answering your unspoken questions, Sarah continued. "Now, if you're changing lying down, you'll want to place the fresh diap.. brief underneath yourself in case you have a little accident midway through. That way it will all go in the new brief. Can you lift your butt up for me."
This was all too much. You numbly thrust your diapered crotch into the air for the whole world to see. Not least of which this poor beautiful woman beside you, whose face was practically pressed up against it, forced to endure changing the piss soaked rags of the invalid before her.
She daftly slid the unfolded diaper beneath you. "And down. Very good!" She nearly cooed. "Now, we just take the old one off." With each deafening rip of tape your anxiety built to a crescendo. Finally the sodden diaper lay tapeless across your shame. Sarah smiled a fake smile to no one and peeled back the top of the diaper to expose your hairless, piss covered groin to the room. You looked down at yourself, and at her sitting beside you. You felt as though your dick wasn't even yours anymore. Useless now, dribbling pee at random, and hairless, shaved while you were out during surgery. It looked and felt so juvenile. YOU looked and felt so juvenile, you thought. And you to make everything worse you were experiencing your new body for the first time with this beautiful young stranger. You glanced over at her, as if to find some comfort, some understanding, but there was nothing but the same sad, pitiful look on her face.
"Now, your number one concern with incontinence is actually skin care." Sarah said putting on a brave face. "So you want to make sure you clean up thoroughly during every change." She explained pulling wet wipes from their packs.Â
You flinched away as she began to wipe you down.Â
"Sorry, they're cold." She said smiling at you, and making eye contact for the first time since the change began.Â
They were cold, but you weren't sure that was exactly why you flinched. Perhaps it was the obscene humiliation of a complete stranger wiping your own piss off your most intimate area, and a beautiful stranger at that.Â
It occurred to you that just a day or two ago, the only interactions you'd have had with a beautiful woman and your dick would have been a fun sexual encounter. This couldn't be any further from a sexual encounter, despite having her gloved hand petting your dick at that very moment. You weren't a sexual partner. You were just a smelly, humiliating burden.Â
"Now, I know you probably don't want to hear this, but if I were you, I would continue to remove your pubic hair. I know that may make you feel... a certain way, but trust me, having hair down there makes clean up WAY harder, and it can hold in smell, and you DEFINITELY don't want that. But of course that's totally up to you. That's just my two cents!" She finished cheerily.
Just when you thought your humiliation had peaked, more is piled on. You had assumed your hair removal was part of the procedure. That you could grow it back like the man you are. But no, being clean shaven is just another part of being in diapers.
"Ok! You're all clean! So now you can change into your new brief!" She said with false cheer. "Lift up."
For the final time you thrust your groin into the air, right by this poor woman's face. She pulled the sodden diaper from beneath you, and you lowered yourself onto the fresh diaper. 'Never not in a diaper' you thought.Â
"Very good." Sarah said rolling up your used diaper. "You can roll these right up like this and tape them back closed like this." She explained, as if it was the most normal thing in the world to teach someone how to dispose of their used diapers. "Now. Remember how I said skin care is  super important?" You nodded numbly. "This is where you will want to be very meticulous with that. The first thing I like to do is apply the barrier cream. According to your chart you're fully incontinent correct? And the doctor explained what that means?"
"Yes." You mumbled meekly.
"So we expect you'll be passing stool into your diapers as well." She paused, presumably catching herself using the 'd' word, then powered through. "Prolonged exposure to your feces will break down your skin much faster than urine, so you'll want to change yourself as soon as possible. However that's not always possible, so it's highly recommended you apply a barrier cream"
'You'll be passing stool into your diapers' she had said. YOUR diapers. YOU WILL BE SHITTING IN YOUR DIAPERS. This is your reality now. Presumably for the rest of your life.
Sarah squeezed a line of ointment onto her gloved index finger. "This should be about how much you want. Oh! And definitely you'll want to wear gloves. These ointments can be really greasy." She explained.
Without further explanation she reached down and pulled your nutsack back and slid her lubed finger between your cheeks. You could feel her smearing the greasy ointment outward across your butt.Â
"Make sure at the very least you cover your bottom, and the back of your scrotum. That's the area most likely to be in contact with feces."
To your absolute horror, you felt your member began to grow at her touch. Pulsating as it filled with blood, despite your state. It was all just too much. Tears again began to fall silently down your cheeks.
"Oh!" Sarah exclaimed despite her attempts at professionalism. She looked back at you and exclaimed again. "Oh, no, no, no. Please don't cry. This is totally natural. I completely understand it's all beyond your control. And hey, this is really really good news for you right. We were uncertain in the procedure would result in importance as well right?"
Your tears continued unabated.
"Hey hey hey!" She continued trying to console you, "this is great news! Your dick still works! Right!" She smiled jokingly, relieving some of the tension in the room.
You smiled despite yourself. Wiping the tears away and nodding. "Thank you." You said.
"Ok, ok we're almost done! Hang in there." She said. "This is just oil. I'll be honest it's J&J baby oil. There's no getting around it, that's just what works as an all a round barrier to protect your skin." She was rushing now. Clearly as eager to get this over with now as you were.
She splashed a few dabs onto your groin where your hair used to be, and started rubbing it in around your now fully erect penis.Â
"Just try and cover all of your private area with this AT LEAST once a day. I recommend after your morning diaper change when you're out of the shower. But after every diaper change would be better" She had dropped all pretenses in her hurry to get away from your erection that had become the hairless elephant in the room.Â
You noticed with dismay that while Sarah oiled you up, urine trickled from the head of your penis onto your stomach, pooling a bit and rolling down your side into the fresh diaper beneath you. The realization that you truly had NO control dawned on you fully. What good was it being able to have an erection if it was always going to be leaking piss anyway?
"Ooops!" She said cheerfully, wiping the fresh urine off of your stomach. "Ok! Last bit, is the powder!" She said not missing a beat. She explained all of the different types you could purchase as she sprinkled the flagrant powder over your glistening freshly oiled erection and balls. You didn't catch much of what she said. All you could think about was the smell. Baby. It was baby powder. You smell like a baby now. And why shouldn't you? wrapped in your diaper, and covered in your own fluid. It was only fitting you now also SMELL like a baby.
"....use this EVERY TIME you change." She finished. "And that's it! Now we just tape you up."
She pulled the top of your new diaper up and over your penis. Pinning your still erect penis to your tummy.
"And then it's just one, two, three, four." She explained as she taped the fresh diaper in place. "Some people like to tape a different order, but that's what I like." She said, hurriedly pulling your gown back down to cover your new diaper before you had a chance to inspect it.
"Now what I would do," she explained "is stand up and test the fit. That's important if you change yourself laying down."
After such a thoroughly humiliating experience, you felt absolute relief at once again being covered and hidden from her, even if it was just by a thin hospital gown that did little to nothing to hide the outline of the diaper. Slowly you sat up and swung your feet over the side of the bed and stood. You winced painfully at the surprisingly loud crinkles your diaper made along the way. Finally you stood. You were a full head taller than Sarah you noticed. It felt weird standing in front of her like this. So close. Your boner, fully known to both of you, still straining against its new plastic prison.Â
"Now how does it feel?" She asked "run your fingers along the leg holes to make sure it's not too tight there. You can always readjust accordingly."
"It feels pretty humiliating." You said half jokingly.
You hoped it would lighten the mood some, but she just looked at you with the same sad pity.Â
"You'll get used to it. You'll see. This is your life now, and it's best if you try not to fight it. Okay? You'll be alright. Just a learning curve is all." She smiled and threw your used diaper in the trash by the door, and sorted your supplies back under your bed.
You shifted uncomfortably on your feet, feeling the slick ointment between your cheeks, and the heft of the diaper between your legs. You stopped moving to avoid the obvious crinkles you were producing not wanting to draw attention to it. Dumb you thought, given all that just happened.
Satisfied with her cleaning Sarah stood to leave. "I'll be on shift all night ok? So just press that button there if you need anything. It was nice to meet you Matt. You're going to be ok"
"Thank you Sarah." You said abashedly.
She turned in the door, "and Matt,"
You looked up expectantly from your diaper bulge.
"When your penis settles down, reach in and point it back towards the bottom of your diaper, or you'll leak." She smiled, nodded and was gone.
"Your diaper" you said quietly. You wear diapers now. "And you'd better get used to it."

Full trailer breakdown for helluva boss season 2 (part 1)
1) at the start of the trailer we see a group of hooded figures that say âcome out we have got you surroundedâ probably, knowing blitzø, gotten into deep shit with a cult of some sort and blitzø probably owes them money
2) in the next frame we see the gang in there van with moxie and blitzø talking
Moxie: weâre are we going
Blitzø: anywhere but here, get ready for a life on the run gang
*blitzø crashes the van into a pole*
Moxie: I fucking hate you so much blitzø
First get the obvious stuff out of the way. They are on the run from what I think would be the cult from the start of the trailer indicating that they are most probably FUCKED. And judging from the fact that full moon (the next episode we are going to get) seems to be about stolas and blitzø relationships I will except that this episode will be apology tour (coming in June) and I also expect this because as you will see in a bit I am pretty sure that I got each episode correct for what parts are in it. But my favourite part of this is that moxie calls blitzø instead of sir and we donât know why yet so it would make sense that Thai isnât that first episode to be released but the second.
3) moxie talks about Business being at a peak and that it would be disastrous to lose what they worked for now. Which is making me think that blitzø is going to do something stupid sending back profit. Knowing that I recon that that is a scene from the last episode sinmas (coming out in December to go with the Christmas spirit)
4) in this part we see blitzø and moxie standing in front of a smashed car that looks to be thereâs. We can also see different spray paint on the car that could indicate that they will get a new van (if them crashing the van at the start wasnât a good indicator) we can also see blitzø in a ghostbusters looking back pack with a vibrator in hand( why I donât know). Behind all that we can see witherd trees probably apart of a new ring. And giving that the rings are based off the seven deadly sins I would guess it is sloth or envy (giving that we have been to wrath, pride, greed and lust).
5) we can see fizz holding a giant blurred out thing (knowing him a sex toy) with blitzø win a bow tie in the corner. The background consists of what is Ozzieâs home , also weâre fizz lives. And giving blitzøs unusual attire I will guess that this is the sinmass.
6) this one is more of a small one. We can se stolas sitting on his bed looking all depressed. Now all I can take out of this is that this has something to do with the full moon episode (OUT NEXT MONTH. Going to do a break down and a couple of theoryâs on that when it releases) BUT WHAT DID BLITZĂ DO TO MY STOLAS!?
7) we can see moxie jumping over a bunch of rocks away from a explosion. From what I can see without any dialog to back me up here is this connected to a scene later on and that moxie is in the list ring. I recon it is most likely sinmas because as we saw earlier blitzø was with fizz in the lust ring.
8) I am not really going to count this since itâs just them jumping out of a portal using stolas book so this would be at that beginning of full moon before stolas gives blitzø the sucubass crystal( if you missed that watch season 2 episode 5 and the look my way music video)
9) now we see the stupid fucking cherubs come back. But this time they have been caught by the freaks from the D.O.R.K.S. Having a conversation
Unnamed male dork from season 1: so why would a bunch of angels be looking for demons
Cherub: we lay and wait for them to return to earth so we might smite them once and for all
Agent who: we would need someone with more experience
With this Iâm guessing that the Dorks and cherubs are going to team up
10) we now see blitzø using a sucubass crystal to teleport to the mortal world (the one stolas got in look my way so this would be after full moon) giving the dorks finger guns and winking that them probably to tawnt them. But what is interesting is the background behind blitzø being all red which is going to then be in imp city but not in there office signaling that they could be in the run. From all this I recon this one and the next two and previous one are all from the same episode being, drum roll please đĽđĽđĽđĽđĽđĽ, master mind (airing in November which is sad because it is the most interesting looking one
Atlas I can only use 10 photos so I will post this now and work on part 2

~Read Below Cut~
Y/n sat on her bed, head in her hands as she wept. Bruce put a hand on her back, rubbing comforting circles. It was a huge blow to her gut. She had fallen in love with Edward over the months they had been friends. The two of them had gotten so close. And now, she had found out that he was The Riddler. The real humiliating part? It was right under her nose. Though she had suspicions, she never wanted to believe them, so she ignored every red flag she saw.
"I'm really sorry." Bruce said.
"Bruce, is it bad that I still care about him?" She asked, tears forming in her eyes.
He sighed.
"No, I don't think so. He was your friend."
She nodded, wiping away the tears that spilled down her cheeks. Bruce frowned, pulling her in for a hug. After the whole incident happened, Bruce immediately went to y/n's apartment, outside of his armor of course. He knew she lived nearby and he wanted to make sure his sister was ok. Y/n had told him about the man she met in a bookstore, and from what she had shared with him, he was a good person. But, he should know better than anyone how easily one can hide their true self.
"I'm surprised he didn't try and hurt you. You're a Wayne and it seems like he has a grudge against our family."
"He has every right to hold a grudge against us!"
Bruce pulled away from the hug, confusion on his face. Y/n sighed, standing up and going to her nightstand. She opened it up and pulled out a file. Tossing it to Bruce, she crossed her arms over her chest. Inside was pictures of the old orphanage that was once Wayne Manor. Pictures of the living conditions, children, and even Edward were in there. Y/n had done some serious digging to get this information, though, it was easy if you were a Wayne of course.
"He lived in the orphanage, Bruce. His entire life. Our dad offered him a better life, told him that he could work for W.I."
"He did?" He asked, looking through the pictures.
"Yes, he did. Edward, he applied so many times to the Renewal project. But...dad and mom..." She trailed.
Bruce looked up at her, feeling his heart sink.
"...well, you and I were too young to take charge of anything. So, he was left to rot in that prison. He told me about the things he experienced there, Bruce. It haunts me that Wayne Enterprises let children suffer. We could have easily helped those poor children." She sniffled, holding back tears.
"Jesus."
"You think we're sad orphans, Bruce? Look at those pictures. Look at how they lived..."
He did. He saw all of it. The rats. The horrible beds that they had to sleep in, if they even could. Bruce felt cold just looking at the pictures. He winced as he saw one picture of a child, bite marks on their hands and fingers.
"When I was older, I found out about this. That's why I live out here, Bruce. I want to live like everyone else does. I donate to the orphanages, I do check ups to make sure everything is good, I donate to hospitals, I do volunteering. But, it was Edward who showed me how truly terrible this city is. Yes, he murdered people...but they were bad people Bruce. You know this. That's why he didn't go after me..."
"It sounds like you're defending his actions..." He raised an eyebrow.
"I'm not! I'm just...he's not a bad person, Bruce. Sick in the head, sure. I'm just worried about him..." She mumbled.
"Y/n, he murdered people."
"And you go around beating people up in a bat costume! Maybe you belong in Arkham too." She spat.
"I don't kill people."
"Well, maybe if you did this city would be safer!"
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"I-..I don't know. I'm sorry. I'm just shaken up. Frankly, I could give a shit about the people he killed, they were all scum. I'm just worried about Edward."
"Well, he's in Arkham, he's safe there. He can't hurt anyone and he can't hurt himself."
"I guess...not the most humane place though."
Y/n's phone rang, making both of them fall silent. Who could be calling this late at night? It had been an hour since Edward was apprehended, making it 1 A.M. She looked at Bruce before answering the phone.
"This is Y/n Wayne, who is this?"
'Ms. Wayne, this is Cap-...Commissioner Gordon.'
"Commissioner Gordon! Um, what's the matter?"
Bruce raised an eyebrow.
'It's 'The Riddler'. He's asked to see you in Arkham.'
"Oh, um...ok, I'll be there."
Y/n hung up the phone.
"It's Edward. He's requested to see me..."
"And you're going?" He asked.
"Well, of course I am. I need an explanation, some closure. He's still my friend, Bruce."
He sighed.
"I'm surprised he hasn't asked to see me. He seemed so obsessed with gaining my attention. Um, you're not going to tell him that I'm..."
"No, Bruce. I'm not an idiot. Can you drive me to Arkham, please? It'd be nice to have you there."
"Yeah, that's ok..."
~
When the Wayne siblings arrived, everyone practically worshipped them. Offering to open doors, constantly saying 'Ms. Wayne' and 'Mr. Wayne'. It annoyed the both of them a lot, though Bruce was the one who could hide the annoyance. Y/n, however, could not. Yes, she loved her family, but she didn't want to be seen as simply 'the Wayne daughter'. It put her on a high pedestal that she hated being on.
"Fuck, there he is." She mumbled, looking at him through the one way window.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes. Um, I know there is camera in the room, but do they pick up audio too? I'd prefer for our conversation to be private."
Bruce looked at the security officer.
"Oh, um, no ma'am they do not pick up sound. They only serve as surveillance to make sure an inmate doesn't try and do something they shouldn't. Sometimes we hold therapy sessions in here too, so, legally we can't record sound."
"Ok, thank you. Alright, I'm going in."
"I love you, little sis."
"I love you too, big brother."
Y/n took a deep breath as she opened the door. Edward's gaze landed on her immediately, causing her to feel small. Yes, y/n had always been slightly intimidated by Edward, but even more so now. He did not look like a person who was capable of violence, and yet he murdered multiple people. It was startling. Swallowing a lump in her throat, she sat down in the chair on the other side of the glass.
"Mmm, I knew you'd come..." He hummed.
"You're still my friend, Edward. I care about you."
He chuckled, deciding he'd circle back to that topic later. Tilting his head to the side, he raised his hands up slowly so the guard didn't get jumpy. Edward pointed at the thing in their hands.
"What's that?" He asked.
Y/n opened up the slot underneath the glass. She slid the item into the box, closing the lid. It fell to Edward's side, and he picked it up. A small smile formed on his lips. It was y/n's copy of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Y/n watched as he flipped through the pages, immediately feeling himself grow warm with happiness.
"I was going to bring you a blanket, but they said that it was a safety hazard. They said you could hang yourself with it." She grumbled.
"Well, this is still a nice present."
It fell silent in the visiting room. The only sound was the flipping of the pages as Edward skimmed through the book. He looked so nonchalant, as if he didn't just snipe Falcone less than 2 hours ago. Though, to be fair, his death wasn't that distressing. Y/n was just startled by how calm he was, especially with where he was.
"Edward, why did you call me here?"
"Hm, I'm not entirely sure...I suppose I just wanted to see my 'friend' again." He smiled innocently.
Y/n huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. Edward smirked, humming to himself like he usually did. His fingers rapped against the book, creating small tap sounds. Eventually, y/n just rolled her eyes.
"Look, if you aren't going to talk to me then I'll just go."
"Oh, you will? Ok then, go ahead."
Y/n looked at him, cheeks tinted slightly pink. He had that smug grin on his face, y/n had seen it a lot. Edward had that look when he won a game they were playing or if he stumped y/n on a riddle. But, this time it was more sinister. It sent chills down her spine and she stayed put in the chair. Edward chuckled, nodding his head slowly. He didn't have to say anything, they both knew he called her out on her bluff. Sighing, he looked at her with kind eyes, but his tone of voice was the complete opposite. He was so good at pretending to be something he was not.
"Y/n Wayne, you knew who I was for a while. Why didn't you say anything?" He questioned.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about, Edward."
"Hm, so you never saw the mask in my pocket that one night? You never saw the tiny dots of blood on my face ? The riddles never raised a red flag?" He asked, continuing to flip through the book.
Y/n was silent, looking down at her hands shamefully. Edward tutted, shaking his head. Coolly, he read a small part of the page he was on before looking back up at y/n. She nodded, admitting that she saw them all.
"Uh huh, so why didn't you say anything? I'm dying to know the answer..."
"I-It was because you were my...friend, Edward. I was conflicted."
He kept his face neutral as he looked at her.
"Mmm, there's that word again. Friend. I know you're lying about your answer, so I'll make a deal with you. I'll tell you a secret I've been keeping for a while, and you in return will give me an honest answer. Sound fair?" He asked.
Before she could answer, he started to talk again.
"I've been stalking you for months, y/n. Long before I 'met' you in that bookstore. Did you know that?" He giggled.
"What?"
"Did you really think I just happened to show up in your favorite bookstore? That I just happened to live directly across from you? I know everything about you, y/n. I've been watching you. Studying you. Like a predator stalks their prey."
"You're fucking with me, Edward. That's not funny." She scolded.
"Oh, I don't think it's funny either. I'm being very serious, y/n. Now, why don't you tell me the truth about why you never ratted me out?"
"What the fuck..." She mumbled.
"Well? I'm waiting for an answer."
She was taken aback by his secret, but it made sense the more she thought about it. Of course he had stalked her. She was just too fucking stupid to see it. The thought of Edward stalking her for months before they met scared the shit out of her. But, at the same time, it excited her.
"Y-You're a creep! I trusted you! I lov-..." She trailed.
"Aha, there's the answer I was looking for! Go on, say it." He cackled.
She sighed, looking at her hands again.
"I loved you, Edward. That's why I never said anything."
"Loved? Oh no, you still love me y/n. I know you do. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here."
"I do not love you! You're a psycho, a creep, and a murderer!" She spat.
"You knew all of those things before, yet you still were 'friends' with me. Isn't that right?" Edward smirked.
"W-"
"And don't act like you hate the idea of me stalking you. I know who you are, y/n. You're so easy to read."
"I-I don't know what you're talking about..."
Edward sighed in annoyance, propping his forearms up on the metal ledge. He maintained his neutral facial expression as he looked at her. Y/n felt small under his gaze and he knew it. He knew he had power over her. He always would.
"Tell me, doesn't the thought of me watching you from my apartment excite you? Waiting all night for even the tiniest glimpse of you? I know how much you crave attention from others." Edward suavely said.
"I-I mean..."
"Oh, precious Y/n never got the attention she so desperately wanted growing up. No mommy and daddy to tell her 'I'm so proud of you, sweet girl!'. Isn't that right, rabbit?" He cooed.
Y/n felt a chill go down her spine. He was right. Fuck, he was good at reading people. Sniffling, y/n nodded her head. How the hell was he doing this to her?
"Oh, the poor thing. You have such a kind heart, always giving and giving and giving. When has anyone ever given you anything in return? When was the last time someone praised you?" He asked.
Y/n reached up, wiping a tear from her eye quickly.
"S-So long..."
"That just won't do, will it? No, I don't think it will."
She looked at him, lips quivering.
"You know who is proud of you? Eddie."
He watched as she smiled softly. Edward loved seeing her smile so much. If he could just capture a picture of it and keep it, he was sure he would never feel sadness ever again.
"Y-You are?" She sniffled.
"Of course I am, sweetheart. You make me so proud. There are so many things you're good at that deserve praise. Your art, your constant donations to charity, your kind heart, my oh my the list goes on!" He chuckled.
Y/n was blushing like a school girl. To be completely honest, she didn't care that Edward had stalked her. Sure, it was a little jarring, but he was the first person to show her genuine love in a long time. Y/n was head over heels for him and there was nothing she could do about it. The heart wants what it wants after all.
"Oh, there's that beautiful smile. Such a pretty girl. But, y/n, I do have one thing I'm not proud of at all."
"W-What dad-...Edward?"
He smiled to himself at her near 'slip up'. If she had called him it, he wouldn't have minded at all. Actually, he would have loved it...
"You see, you lie to me a lot. You think I never notice, but I do."
"I-I'm sorry..."
"Do not apologize, y/n. All will be forgiven if you just tell me the truth about one thing."
"O-Ok!"
"That's my girl, now, the 'bad dream' you had earlier. I believe you didn't tell me the full story. Why don't you tell Eddie alllll about it?" He grinned.
"O-Oh...um, I-..." She trailed.
"You can tell me anything, rabbit. I'll keep it as a secret."
Swallowing a lump in her throat, she nodded softly. Edward kept his gaze on her. It was a good thing that the cameras didn't record audio, because he knew what was coming. Yes, he already knew what the dream centered around, but he wanted to hear her say it. He wanted to hear the filthy words leave her mouth.
"W-Well, I was honest about dreaming that you were the Riddler..."
"And you were right! You're so smart." He praised.
Y/n should have felt disgusted at how light hearted he was, but she wasn't. It was upsetting how in love she was with him. She was y/n Wayne and she was in love with The Riddler. But, the shame behind that brought excitement. It was a secret between the two of them, a forbidden love. Just like Romeo & Juliet.
"...but you um, you were frightening. A-And, I um...liked it." She mumbled.
He raised an eyebrow.
"Can you elaborate?"
"I th-thought it was hot...that you um, were making me scared. Um, you were being really um...rough." She stuttered.
Edward felt his dick slowly getting hard. He cursed the glass in his head and the cameras. If he could he'd reach right across and give y/n something to dream about for years to come. Groaning softly, he nodded his head. He wasn't going to be vague anymore. He was going to be blunt.
"Did I fuck you?"
"I-..no. I w-woke up before anything like that happened." She admitted.
"Mmm, so you got all worked up over a dream I didn't even fuck you in? You must have really loved what I was saying and doing in it, huh?" He teased.
"Yeah. I-I did."
"You say we're friends, y/n. But, do friends say they love each other in a romantic way? Do friends have wet dreams about each other?" He asked.
"N-No, they don't..."
"That's right. Mmm, I've had dreams of you too, rabbit. Filthy, filthy, dreams." Edward shivered.
Y/n shifted in her seat, arousal soaking through her panties. Edward could tell she was turned on. She couldn't keep still, thighs subtly rubbing together. He tutted and shook his head.
"Now, now, you better stop that. You don't want to get caught, do you? How embarrassing would that be to have your brother find out that The Riddler was making your pussy wet? I'd be mortified if I were you." He taunted.
She whimpered, ceasing the movement of her legs. Edward could see how much willpower it was taking her not to do it. Amused, he smiled and tilted his head. He was going to torment her, tease her until she was merely a puddle on the chair.
"Ever since I first saw you, I was fascinated. That fascination turned into love. And with most love, comes lust. And oh, my sweet rabbit, I have never wanted someone as badly as I want you."
"R-Really?"
"Believe me when I say that I want to ruin you, y/n."
Y/n whined, resisting the urge to dive her hands down her pants. Edward scoffed, resting his hands back in his lap. He grabbed his dick through his pants, adjusting it.
"I have much more to say, y/n. I suggest you do your best to keep your face neutral. But you can moan, just quietly. I would very much love to hear you moan. I've wondered what it might sound like."
She nodded, gaining her composure as much as she could. Sighing, Edward looked towards the ceiling. It looked as if he was collecting his thoughts. Y/n nearly trembled in anticipation.
"I've had so many dreams of you. Some of them are sweet. Those ones consist of us going on dates, maybe a park or a movie." He said.
"That sounds nice."
"It does, doesn't it?" He smiled.
"But the other ones, ohhh, they are filthy. They are so vulgar that I'm not sure I should let them fall upon your ears." He hummed playfully.
"N-No, I want to hear! Please daddy!" She blurted out, covering her mouth with her hand.
He smiled gently, his dick twitching underneath his pants. A soft groan left his lips. Edward was wishing a painful death the the guard watching their visit. He wished for the cameras to power down and for the glass to disappear.
"You sound just like you do in my dreams. I can't say no to how pathetic that sounded."
Y/n blushed, rubbing her thigh with her hand. It was out of view of the cameras and the window, so Edward allowed it.
"I've had dreams where you're on your knees, begging for me. You always look so desperate and needy every time. It's such a pitiful sight that I can't help but give you what you want. Do you know what you want in those dreams?" He asked flatly.
"W-What, da-" She paused.
"Oh rabbit, you can call me that if you'd like. It sounds so good rolling of your tongue..." Edward smirked.
"Ok, daddy...um, what do I want in your dreams?"
Leaning forward, he got closer to the glass. A cocky, toothy smile plastered over his face. His eyes were bright and happy, as if he was about to tell her a funny joke. Raising up his hands, slowly, he made a very subtle 'jerking' motion.
"To get fucked like a whore, obviously." He laughed.
Y/n whimpered. Her chest was tightening from how aroused she was. She took a deep breath, letting it out through pursed lips. Edward grinned, seeing how worked up he was making her.
"Oh, but you're not a whore. No, far from it. In my dreams I may fuck you like one, but you don't act like one. Once I'm done giving you a good dick down, you get so clingy. You're so dependent on me, never wanting to leave my side. It's so precious. I only hope that you're like that outside of my dreams too." He cooed.
"Y-Yes, I am! I-I'm here, after all. I missed you..."
"Oh, that's so sweet. I shoot and kill Carmine Falcone and the first thing you think of is 'I want Edward! Where's Eddie? I miss him so much!'. Is that right?"
"Well, not exactly."
"Hm?"
"I cried first..."
Edward felt a pang in his chest. It genuinely hurt his heart to hear her say that. He never wanted to make her cry, unless it was from pleasure.
"You poor thing, I never though about how you'd feel. I never wanted to make you cry, I just wanted to get rid of the scum that pollutes Gotham." He frowned.
"I know, I may not agree with the murdering...but I'm not saying I miss Falcone either. It just scared me. I was just worried about what would happen to you..."
"You were worried about me, rabbit? You don't need to do that. I can take care of myself, y/n." He smiled.
She nodded. Edward could tell that she felt sad. He did not want her to be sad, not at all.
"You know I love you, y/n. Right?" He asked.
"Y-Yes, I do."
"I did it all for you. I had different plans for Gotham before. I was going to do something far worse, but you made me change my mind. I just want you to live in a city where you can be safe."
Y/n smiled. It was a messed up way to show he loved and cared for her, but she hadn't been loved before. She didn't care anymore, she just was warmed that he wanted her to be safe. Even if he did it through murdering crooked and corrupt people. She blushed, looking down at her hands.
"No, no, don't hide your face. I want to see it." He asked softly.
She looked back up, faint pink dusted on the tip of her nose and her cheeks. Edward loved that about her so much. He thought it made her look so happy and gentle. He chuckled, clapping his hands together as much as he could with the handcuffs on.
"There she is, the prettiest thing in Gotham." He smiled.
"You're making me blush, Edward..." She mumbled.
"I know and I love it. I love watching you get flustered, it's so precious. If only I could touch you..." He sighed.
"Why do you want to touch me?" She asked.
"Well, I want to hold you and kiss you, y/n. That the first thing I want to do." Edward hummed.
"First? Wh-what are the other things?"
"The things I dream of, rabbit." He grinned.
"Tell me more about the dreams!" Y/n said.
He tutted, wagging his finger back and forth. Eyes were squinted as he disapprovingly frowned. He rested his forearms back on the metal ledge, smiling cockily.
"Now, that sounded like a demand. You aren't telling me to do something without asking nicely, are you?"
"N-No, I'm sorry! P-Please, tell me more Eddie." She corrected herself.
"That sounds much better."
He looked her up and down, sighing happily.
"Tell you more, hm? But there are so many dreams, so many fantasies. Though, one thing stays the same in every single one." Edward stated.
"What is that?" Y/n asked curiously.
He planted his hands on the cold surface, leaning towards the glass. His face turned into a very sadistic and comical expression. Dramatically, he emphasized his words.
"You take my dick like a fucking champ..." He smirked.
Y/n moaned, letting out a breathy sigh. Edward stayed in his close position, not finished with what he was saying.
"I'd fuck you so perfectly that nobody else's dick could even make you feel a fraction as good. But before I'd do that, I'd make sure you're on the brink of tears in desperation. You don't get dicked unless I believe you've earned it. I'd want you on your knees, begging, whimpering, groveling at my feet in hopes that I'll fuck your needy pussy." He chuckled.
Y/n's mouth was slightly agape, startled by how blunt he was. He looked like such a shy person, yet he was a total freak. Again, he was so good at pretending to be someone he was not. Everything he was saying seemed so out of character for him, but in reality, it was his true self. Y/n was just the only one who could bring that side out of him. Edward groaned, pointing at her mouth. He seemed irritated or frustrated, either one really.
"That pretty mouth, it's practically asking me to fuck it. Those lips look so plump and soft. Oh rabbit, open up, let me see your tongue." He asked, on the verge of pleading.
She hesitated slightly, but did as he said. Of course she did. No matter what, she would listen to and do what he said. She was his property, and they both knew it. None of them had to even say it. It was obvious that y/n was Edward's girl. Titles weren't necessary. She was simply his, as much as he was hers. Y/n let her tongue roll out and let Edward look at it for a bit. She did it in a way so that the cameras didn't see, and if they did, it just looked like she was yawning in a way. He covered his mouth with his fingers, doing his best to not jerk off at the brief sight of her tongue.
"Ffffuu...it's a blessing that I can't touch you. Your throat would be raw after I finish with you..." He groaned.
Y/n whined, spreading her legs open subtly. Edward looked down, seeing the obvious damp spot over her pelvic region. His tongue darted out and swiped over his lips. Her eyes were silently screaming 'Please, I want you!' and he loved it. Once again, he cursed the glass between them. He just wanted to devour her, taste her, eat her alive like a fox eats a rabbit. She probably tasted so sweet...
"I wish you could see how you look right now. It's so pitiful. You look like you want to be fucked so bad. Do you want to be fucked?" He groaned.
"Y-Yes, I need it daddy..." She shivered.
"Need? You desperate thing, tell me why you need to get fucked by me."
"B-Because I'm so w-wet...it aches..." Y/n whined.
"Poor rabbit, if he could daddy would bend you over and fuck you against this glass." He said flatly.
Y/n moaned softly, making Edward grip his pants. The sound was nearly enough to make him bust all over the hospital uniform. Not wanting to draw attention, Edward looked at the book again. He pretended to read it.
"You said you dreamt I was rough with you, yet I didn't even fuck you? Well, I can promise you that I'd never hurt you with your permission, I want you to know that. I love you too much to do that to you. I believe that trust and safety is important when doing things like that. So, do you trust me, y/n?" He asked, looking up from the book.
"Y-Yes."
"You believe I'll keep you safe?"
"Yes, I do."
"And you'd tell me if you were uncomfortable, yes?"
"Of course."
Edward looked back down at the book, once again pretending to read it. He was such an actor. It was almost sinful how easily he could hide his lust and vulgarity.
"So, if I shoved your face into your bed with my hand wrapped around your neck, would you like that? Would you like it if I made you choke and gasp for air?" He hummed.
"Fuck...y-yes..."
"Do you want me to pull your hair and skull fuck you until you're crying on my dick? I bet your gags sound so vulgar and erotic." He asked nonchalantly.
"E-Edward, please..."
He held up the book and slumped into the chair. Edward looked like this was the most boring conversation he had ever had in his life. His eyes lazily ran over the words in the book, y/n was half convinced he was actually reading it while he spoke those filthy words to her.
"I bet you'd like to get slapped too. Not too hard, of course. I wouldn't want to bruise that pretty little face. But, firm enough the make sure you don't step out of line. You seem like you love to be put in your place." He yawned.
"E-Edward, I don't know if I can handle this anymore..."
"That's too bad, you wanted to hear all of this, right? Now you need to sit and listen."
"F-Fuck..."
"You're filthy, rabbit. Letting a criminal and a murderer make your pussy wet."
"I-I know."
"That's good that you know. You're self-aware about how dirty you are. You must want dick terribly bad if you've resorted to someone like me."
"N-No, I l-love you!"
"Hmm, that's right. That doesn't make it any better though, rabbit. In fact, it makes it worse. Not only do you want to get dicked down by me, but you love me. For shame."
"B-But..."
"Oh, don't worry sweetheart. I'm not angry with you. I think it's lovely that you feel that way towards me, I feel the same to you. But, we better make sure no one else knows about this. Hm?"
"Mhm!"
Edward placed the book down, looking at y/n.
"Mmm, I wish I could just fuck the soul out of you. I want to make you writhe and squirm. I just know you'd feel so good around my dick."
She moaned a little louder, biting down on her tongue. Edward chuckled, leaning against the metal ledge again.
"You, rabbit, are going to scream my name." He smiled.
"Th-that's big talk f-from someone in A-Arkham." She stuttered.
Edward raised an eyebrow.
"Are you getting smart with me?"
"N-No...I was j-just..."
"No. I know what you were doing and I'm not amused. You don't think I'll find my way out of here? I will. And when I do, I'm coming for you."
Y/n blushed.
"When I get out of here, I'll be sure to rearrange those pathetic guts of yours. I'm all bark and bite."
"You can't even touch me, Edward. It sounds like a bunch of talk to me..." She huffed, getting annoyed with his cocky behavior.
"You want me to break the glass and fuck you right here? I could care less about being watched but I sincerely doubt you want the guards to see you get fucked stupid by me. Don't play with me." He spat.
"I'm n-not trying to play with you, daddy..." Y/n mumbled softly, looking down at her hands.
"Yes you are. You're mocking me and yet you sit before me, wet, pathetic, and needy. Isn't that right, rabbit?"
She nodded.
"You want me to protect you, hold you, love you, yes?" He smirked.
"Y-Yes..."
"My, my, you have terrible daddy issues, don't you? Hm. But, if you want that so bad, then why are you playing with me? Mocking me? Do you think I appreciate that? Do you think it makes me proud?" He scolded.
"No I don't, daddy." Y/n sniffled.
"Mhm, it was so rude of you to talk to me like that. Do you want to hurt daddy's feelings?" He frowned.
He was such a serpent. Oh, but he was so lovely, too. Y/n couldn't help it. It was as if she bit the apple from the tree of good and evil. Except, the serpent held the apple in his mouth after, taunting her as she begged for more. Edward was waving what she wanted in her face, just out of her reach. And he knew it. He was so sick that it was hypnotic. So dangerous yet so kind looking, a wolf in sheep's clothing. Y/n was getting too close to him, but she didn't care if she got bit.
"N-No! I don't want to!" She whined.
"Then what do we say when we hurt someone's feelings?" He hummed, cupping a hand over his ear.
Y/n swallowed a lump in her throat, practically choking on her desire. She placed her hands on the ledge, bottom lip quivering as she looked at Edward. He felt his heart skip a beat as he saw slight tears prick in her eyes. She looked so pretty when she cried, as demented as that sounded. A single tear trickled down her cheek before she wiped it away with her finger.
"M' sorry, daddy..." Y/n sighed.
"Oh, say it again, rabbit." Edward grinned.
She looked at him, blushing heavily. He raised and eyebrow, giving a sleazy smile. Y/n looked at the floor, feeling slightly humiliated. Why? She truly did not know. Maybe it was the way he was talking to her. He was so good at making her feel small.
"I-I'm sorry, daddy." She mumbled.
"An apology has never sounded so sweet..." He hummed.
Y/n figeted with her hands.
"You're just lucky I'm not able to get closer to you, rabbit. You'd be giving me more than just an apology." Edward stated flatly.
She whined, trying to picture what he was hinting at in her head. But, when she did that, she felt herself getting more turned on. That was the last thing she needed.
"I'd give you something too, but I don't know if you'd be able to handle it..." He laughed softly.
Oh, he was so demented. But, it was so hot to her. Y/n should not be so worked up over a murderer talking pure smut to her. Yet, she was. Her core ached and throbbed, pleading for her fingers, Edward's fingers, his dick, mouth, anything. She needed to be touched so bad. It was driving her crazy. She squeezed her thighs together, doing her best not to rub them together.
"That's it, back to being timid. You know you aren't the one in control here, y/n. I may be in chains in this hellhole, but don't think for one second that it makes me weak. I haven't touched you and yet I have you soaking wet, desperate to pleasure yourself while 2 cameras are pointed at you. I have you whimpering, whining, moaning, and begging for something that I can't even give you. Does that sound like someone with no power over you? No hold over you?"
"No, Edward. I-It doesn't."
"Exactly. And you love it."
She nodded and whined.
"I've got you eating out of the palm of my hand, y/n. Just like a rabbit. I wonder, if I give you a carrot, will you jump for me?" He snickered.
"I'm not a pet!" She spat.
"Then why are you so obedient to me? Why are you so dependent on me?" Edward asked, shrugging his shoulders.
"I-..."
He leaned forward, propping his elbows up. Looking at y/n, he spoke in a low tone.
"Admit it, I own you! My name is practically branded on your chest. If only...no, I don't want to scar that pretty skin of yours. But, maybe, I could just mark you...yes. Would you like that? My teeth digging into your neck? I swear I'll try to be gentle, but I'm afraid you might taste too good to be able to restrain myself...I bet your flesh and blood tastes like sugar..."
Y/n was shocked, completely thrown off by his sadistic words. Yes, she was trembling in fear. It was so disturbing to hear him talk about how he wanted to mark her, break the skin on her neck. But, yet again, y/n found herself drawn to him. It was sick, twisted, and vile. And her pussy throbbed.
"I-, b-but it'll hurt..." She whimpered.
"Well, I said I'd do my best to be gentle. All you have to do is tell me to stop! Though I so badly want to...rip you apart...I would never want to make you upset or uncomfortable, sweet rabbit." He smiled sadistically.
Y/n panted, feeling arousal seep onto her inner thighs. She felt so dirty...
"I already know the second you get home, you're going to play with yourself while thinking about me. Thinking about the things I could do to you. Thinking about how I could just..."
Edward banged his fists subtly on the table, maintaining a consistent rhythm. He kept eye contact the whole time, lips curling up into a sickly smile. He was a cocky little shit. He knew exactly what he was doing to her and he thrived in the actions he did. The sound of his fists banging rang in her ears and made her throb. Edward sped up the pace, watching as y/n's eyes closed, no doubt imagining the feeling and how it would look. Abruptly, he stopped, practically edging her in a way.
"...destroy you. Break you. Please you. Torture you." He smirked.
"E-Edward, you're a dick! You're tormenting me!" She cried softly.
"Yes I am, took you fucking long enough. I thought you were smart?" He mocked.
She shuddered, his cold gaze freezing her blood.
"It's a game to me, y/n. Yes, I love you, but I love making you crave me too. And you make it so easy..."
A knock on the glass startled y/n, making her turn around. It was most likely Bruce telling her that the visit was going on too long. She sighed, looking back to Edward. Y/n was upset, not wanting to leave, despite how torturous he was being to her. He too looked upset, his plaything was about to leave. His plaything. His. He'd have to make the last minute count. He lured the prey into security, and it was genuine security. But now, it was time for the mind games. It was time for him to strike fear and paranoia into her heart. He wanted to be in her mind for a long time to come.
"You said you loved how I intimidated and scared you in your dream, yes?" He asked.
"Yeah?"
"You'll never know when I get out of Arkham. Not until it hits the newspapers."
Y/n looked at him, unsure of what he was getting at.
"I wonder how long you'll be paranoid? How many times will you watch a dark corner, wondering if I'll walk out of it? How many times will you sleep with one eye open? How many times will you watch behind your back as you walk down the streets? I am still a criminal, after all." He smirked devilishly.
Y/n's eyes widened, feeling her skin turn to ice. It was then that she realized he truly was sick. But, why did she still love him? Oh, how conflicting a forbidden love must be. To want someone that should not be wanted. To seek approval from someone one should never seek approval from. His pupils looked dilated, staring deep into her soul. She felt exposed and violated just from his gaze. And she loved it...
"Lord, what fools these mortals be!" He shouted.
She shivered, standing up slowly from the chair. Edward picked up the book again, flipping to a certain page. He had memorized the entire book, as he had already read his own copy he bought at the bookstore. But, being Edward, he wanted to be theatric as he read quotes. He looked at y/n in the eyes, standing up abruptly, no doubt startling the guard, Bruce, and y/n herself. He placed his hands against the glass, a breathy laugh leaving his lips.
"I'll follow thee and make a heaven of hell..." He trailed.
Her pussy throbbed once again, thinking back to when they were in the bookstore. She had told Edward that she would never accept anyone's love unless they confessed or expressed it through Shakespeare. And, he was doing exactly that, Although, he was doing it in Edward fashion. Ominous, eerie, and disturbing.
"...to die upon the hand I love so well." She finished.
The door opened up and Bruce came in, grabbing y/n by the hand. Edward laughed hysterically, pacing back and forth behind the glass. His eyes were crazed behind his glasses as he kept his gaze on y/n the entire time. Y/n could tell that he was being dramatic, just wanting to get a rise out of everyone.
"Thus I die. Thus, thus, thus. Now I am dead, now I am fled, my soul is in the sky. Tongue, lose thy light. Moon take thy flight..." He paused, slowly walking back to the glass.
"...Now die, die, die, die!" He cackled.
He watched as Bruce dragged y/n out of the room. She looked back at him, still worked up from their 'discussion'. Edward blew a kiss to her, further making the scene more demented. Y/n attempted to reach up and grab it, but wanted to be discreet, so instead she smiled at him. It was odd though, as she was still terrified of his tangent that he went on. The sight of him laughing and quoting Shakespeare was not something she thought she would ever be scared of, but it was. But before she left, she heard him say one last thing. It sent chills down her spine.
"Run rabbit, run! For I linger in the shadows and you will never know when I might pounce..."

So I turned my ankle taking out my trash this evening and it's swelling up beautifully-- I did a number on that ankle back in college and it regularly betrays me because of the Dumb Things I did without seeking medical attention when I was twenty-- so I've decided to prop it up on the couch and ice the hell out of it and watch the special features on my ANDOR Blu-Ray.
Here's a short list of Cool Things I've learned:
Diego says that it was important to show Cassian being nice to B2EMO in the first bit of episode one, because you needed to see Cassian show care and kindness for someone-- because he's not a particularly awesome guy at the beginning.
The set designer for the Andor house on Ferix made macrame door curtains out of metal scrap and bolts because they wanted a 1970s feel with an industrial twist. Also, the set designer pronounces "macrame" with the accent on the second syllable, and I've never heard it that way before? British folks, is that standard on your fair isle? Because hereabouts it's MAC-rah-may, or maybe mac-rah-MAY if you're fancy. But it sure as hell isn't mah-CRAHM-eh.
Just so many gorgeous shots of Ferix, man. And all the costumes and details-- it looks SO GOOD, even when it's clearly just a set and not the finished version. The actors all clearly adored working in the physical space.
During the Aldhani arc, the Aldhani rebel cell actors worked extensively together with the director to train, rehearse, and develop chemistry-- and they deliberately didn't bring Diego Luna in until they were ready to shoot for real. So the Aldhani squad had this rapport and inside jokes and relationships, and THEN they dropped Luna in so he would feel properly like an outsider.
And they did the SAME THING on the Narkina 5 arc. All the prisoners rehearsed together well before they brought in Luna, so he wouldn't have the same understanding of the space or tools or way the actors related to each other. Love it. Really smart decision, and it paid off.
The visual reference for what the Eye would look like when you were flying through it was a close-up of a human iris, and actually-- yeah. They did that really, really well.
They made the prison on Narkina 5 the same shape as the planetary shield generator on Scarif, and I have no idea how I didn't notice that before.
Stellan Skarsgard was clearly DELIGHTED by Luthen's big speech in "Nobody's Listening." He talks about how when he read it, he was like, "Absolutely, this is the dilemma, isn't it? How far can you go in the name of change?," followed immediately by, "Now, how in the world do I SAY that?!"
The musicians in "Rix Road" are really playing on set-- they did ADR over top for sound quality but in order to give the actors the right feel, the musicians are really playing and the instruments all are fully functional. The musicians are a mix of studio musicians who are on the final recording and some talented amateurs who also work as background actors, so you get the imperfect, community-band style tuning, which is what they wanted.
And there's a bunch of other cool stuff, but my ankle is throbbing, so I'm going to go take a painkiller and go to bed I think.

Pt 12
"You have a date?" Sunny repeated as she walked along with Alvida to Buggy's tent. "Here?"
"I do, she's from a nearby island." Alvida told her, arms linked with Sunny as she patted her on the arm. "I thought you'd like a distraction so I need your help picking an outfit."
"Oh, well, I'm not really good at that, I think that's more Buggy's thing." Sunny said as she followed along. "But um, I'm happy to help."
"Honey, you'll do fine." Alvida assured her as she led her to her room. "I'd like to practice my makeup on you, if that's alright. It makes it easier to see what I need to do."
"Um, sure?" Sunny just went along with it, not really understanding what Alvida wanted to do. She didn't like wearing makeup, her husband preferred it and often brought someone in to get Sunny ready when they had parties and he wanted to show her off. She appreciated Alvida asking for her help, however, as it was nice to do something different.
Alvida had her sit down on her bed before she went to pull out a few outfit choices. Admittedly, Sunny felt she didn't know Alvida that well, but when she saw the outfit choices coming out of the closet, floral dresses of different styles and patterns, she wondered what this girl was like if Alvida was wanting to change her style.
"Can you try this on for me?" Alvida asked as she held one up. "I'm not sure if it would look good on me."
Sunny took the dress and held it up with a frown. "It's not really your size, Alvida. It would be too big on you, but if you'd like, if you put it on I can see where the adjustments need to be made."
"No, no, I want to see if on you first." She insisted, directing Sunny to the privacy screen nearby to change. The blonde frowned at the captain but did as she was requested, wondering why Alvida preferred to see it on her than on herself. Sunny took a few minutes to remove her own clothes, her favorite overalls always on with a fitted crop top underneath. She had been working out in the garden again and found the overalls had the right amount of pockets.
When she was finally done, she stepped out, looking a little sheepish as she finished buttoning up the front of it. "I think it looks okay, but really, it would be better to see it on you."
Alvida looked her over, gesturing for her to spin around a few times before nodding in approval. "That one is perfect."
"Yea? Okay, I'll take it off-"
"No, no, keep it on." She insisted as she pulled Sunny over to her makeup vanity and making her sit down. "I need to figure out the makup first."
"We look completely different, I don't think it's going to look good on me, Alvida." Sunny said as she watched her pull out various shades of lipstick, blush, and eye shadow. "I don't know..."
"Come on, just a little?" Alvida asked as she picked out the lipstick first. "Pucker up, sweetheart."
Sunny sighed softly and let her play around with her face, trying out different colors and shades of makeup before deciding on a look. Alvida gave her a thumbs up before holding a small mirror out for her to look at herself. Sunny took it, frowning when she saw her reflection.
"Maybe? I still think it would be better on you." Sunny said as she reached for a tissue to start wiping it off, but Alvida stopped her.
"Let me play with your hair next."
"My hair?" Sunny frowned. "What's going on, Alvida? Why aren't you doing this to yourself?"
"I like having a model and Cabaji wasn't available." Alvida told her as Sunny took her pigtails out. Alvida grabbed her hairbrush, running it over her hair carefully to smooth it out. Sunny sighed and let her, making a face the entire time. At least Alvida was gentle, previous people weren't as kind, often pulling Sunny's hair to put it up just the right way or applying the makeup so heavily it irritated her skin. She barely noticed the makeup on her face and she couldn't help but pick up the small mirror again to look at herself.
"I just need to take this off before heading home." Sunny said. "I don't mind it, though. You did a good job. I can't wait to see it on yourself."
"Mmm, of course." The pirate captain agreed as she gave Sunny a look for. "Now, for hair styles..."
"Maybe a crown braid?" Sunny suggested, looking up at her. "I think it would look beautiful in your hair, and if you're going to go with this floral dress we could even stick some flowers in it."
"Flowers? That's perfect!"
"Yea?"
"Yes! I'll have Mohji get some when we're done in here." Alvida made quick work of Sunny's hair, gently twisting it into a braid around her head before securing it. She gently tugged a few wisps at her forehead, not wanting the style to look too formal. It needed to be comfortable and casual. "So, what do you think?"
"I think it looks wonderful." Sunny chuckled as she turned her head to look. "Are you able to do this on yourself or do you need help?"
"I'll be fine." Alvida said as she pulled Sunny to her feet. "Now I need you to come see the set up and make sure it's romantic."
"Oh, I'm sure it's fine-"
"No, no, I need another woman's opinion." She insisted as she led Sunny along to the main area of the tent. "If I asked the boys they'd either say it was fine or that I needed more. They're not helpful in the slightest."
"If you're certain..." Sunny frowned and followed along. She wondered how much Alvida liked this woman to need Sunny's help like this. It wasn't really her kind of thing. Whenever there had been parties, it fell to her husband to figure out everything as he wanted it to be perfect. She was just there as decoration. It was nice of Alvida to want her help but it was a little much. "I don't know much about this."
"Nonsense." She said as she stopped in the center ring. There was a little table with two chairs in the middle. Poles were erected around with a string of lights strung across them, providing a soft, gentle light for whoever sat there. A striped table cloth adorned the table while a candle in a bottle sat on top of it, wax dripping down the neck, collecting along it.
Alvida led Sunny over and pulled a chair out for her, beckoning her to sit. It was... weird, were they going to pretend they were on a date? As long as it wasn't Buggy, maybe Crocodile wouldn't be mad if he found out.
"Stay put." The pirate told Sunny before she headed off. "Let me get you a snack."
Sunny didn't know what to say, left alone and hoping Alvida's date didn't show up and get the wrong idea. It was a nice setup, reminding Sunny of a little cafe on the island she had apprenticed at, one she never got to go to before she was married.
Someone cleared their throat and she jumped out of her seat, heart in her throat when she saw Mihawk. She didn't know how to really explain this, but since Buggy wasn't there, it would be okay, right?
"You have twenty minutes." The swordsman told her as he stepped aside to show Buggy standing there. He was wearing the same outfit from the party when they danced. What was going on?
"I'm sorry, there's... a misunderstanding." Sunny said as she moved away from the table. "Alvida asked for my help with her date, and... and I'm sorry, I'll leave."
"No, Alvida tricked you to come here so the two of you can talk." Mihawk explained as Buggy approached her. "This isn't a date, just a small get together, understand?"
"R-Right..." Sunny wasn't sure about this. Buggy looked nervous, glancing back at the swordsman as he left, heading back to the entrance of the tent. She clasped her hands together, unsure what to do, before turning to Buggy. "I'm sorry."
"Sorry? For what?" He asked, scratching his cheek as he looked away. "The damn swordsman tricked me. Asked me to show him some fun tricks for training. Should have known it was a lie."
"Dressed like this?" Sunny gestured to his outfit. Buggy crossed his arms and huffed.
"He said to dress up or he wouldn't take me seriously!" Buggy shot back, frowning at her. "What about you? You... you look nice." He paused for a moment, still frowning as he looked her up and down. "Actually, you, uh, look beautiful."
"Oh, um, Alvida asked me to help her get ready for a date... which... I'm realizing now was her way of tricking me to dress like this." Sunny laughed nervously. "I feel ridiculous for falling for it."
"You're not ridiculous." Buggy told her. "You're... very sweet, okay? And I think you look more beautiful in this than Alvida would have anyway!"
"Oh, no, she would look lovely in it." Sunny smiled. "I guess... she planned this since she had several dresses ready."
Buggy took a step forward, looking her over again, before reaching up to fix the top button that had come undone. Sunny let him, breath caught in her throat, casting a nervous look behind him to make sure her husband wouldn't show up.
"Relax, he's busy." He assured her. "Mihawk said some birds got into office and disrupted all the papers in there. Croc's going to be busy taking care of that."
"Oh, well, I should go back and help-"
"But do you want to?"
Sunny hesitated and shook her head. Buggy grinned and clapped his hands together. "Wonderful! We can have our get together then!"
"That's what we're going to call this then?" She asked, smiling a bit. "Because it's not a date, it can't be."
"As Mihawk said, it's a get together." Buggy grinned. "No dating. We have twenty minutes." He wanted to say more, to help Sunny feel more comfortable, when the sound of an accordian caught their attention. One of his men entered the ring, looking nervously at Alvida who stood beside him with her arms crossed as she watched Buggy and Sunny.
"What's going on, Buggy?" Sunny asked.
"Beats me." He shrugged before turning his attention back to her. "Look, do you want to dance? I think that's the best idea right now, y'know, because we missed out on several songs back at that party."
Sunny hesitated but Buggy was already taking her by the hand, placing one on his shoulder, putting his hand on her hip, and taking her hand in his before he started to spin her around. She was caught off guard, stumbling into him before he steadied her. She turned red, letting him take the lead as he spun her around to the music, dipping her, pulling her back up, causing her to laugh.
She was started to relax, smiling at him as the music changed to something faster, more beats, and Buggy kept up with it, holding Sunny closer, squeezing her hand gently.
And she allowed it, even as the music slowed down, looking up at him. It was hard right to not kiss him, he seemed to think the same, because she saw him started to lean down only to stop himself after a moment. He sighed and pulled back but Sunny just gave his hand a squeeze again.
"Thank you."
Buggy shrugged, pulling his hand from her waist but holding onto her hand. "So, uh, you in love with me yet?"
"What?" Sunny asked. He ran his thumb over her knuckles gently, glanced over at her.
"You told me the other day that if we had one more dance you might have fallen in love with me." Buggy said as he started to grin. "Well, we just had several more dances, so I need to know."
"Oh." Sunny felt her face grow hot and she glanced over at Alvida. The pirate just gave her an encouraging thumbs up so Sunny looked back at Buggy. "I... maybe. Slowly, I suppose, but I need you to be patient."
"Patient? Really?" He huffed. Sunny smiled and reached up to put her hand on his face, running her fingers over his stubble. He caught her hand and held it against her face. "Is this okay?"
"It's not kissing." She chuckled. "I think it's okay."

Maddie, to her credit, does not choke on her coffee. She does however take way more of the hot beverage into her mouth than she intended and it burns as it goes down.Â
âOr, uh, he kissed me and IâI kissed him backâbecause I liked itâliked kissing him. And weâre, uh, heâs picking me up Saturdayâfor a date.â
Maddie is aware that Buck is waiting for her to say something but herâlooking for her approval brain is still trying to catch up, and all she can think to ask isâ âTommy?âÂ
âYeah, yâknow, uh, KinardâŚâ He trails off, staring at his hands.
Buckâs shoulders have hunched up and his entire posture is sinking in on itself in a way Maddie recognizes all too well, andâfinallyâher brain exits the loading screen it was stuck on.Â
She reaches out to place a hand over his and feels him tense and then relax ever so slightly under her touch.
âHey,â she says softly, waiting for him to meet her eyes, âIâm proud of you, this is a big thing to discover about yourself, and Iâm so proud of you for embracing it. Thank you for telling me, Evan.âÂ
The tension drains from him completely, and Maddie gives his hands a gentle squeeze before retracting her hand.
âSo, Tommy,â She leans back in her chair a bit and fixes him with her best inquisitive older sister gaze, âhowâd that happen?â
âHe came over to my apartment to, uh, apologize to me, actually, for âcausing bad blood between me and Eddieâ which wasâincredibly sweet but so backward because I was definitely the one causing any âbad bloodâ with how stupid Iâd been acting all âcause I was feeling jealous that Eddie was getting all his attention.âÂ
Maddie blinks, reminded why her brain had stalled out before, becauseâyeah, that was definitely not what she was expecting the follow up to her brotherâs unusual behavior this past week to be.
âYou were jealousâof Eddie?âÂ
Buck shrugs, âI mean, yeah, it explains why I was acting like aâand these are your own wordsââfourteen year old girl.ââ
âRight,â she studies him for a moment, he looksâat peace, in a way sheâs not sure sheâs ever seen him before, like a weight lifted from his shoulders. âAnd Tommyâhe makes you happy?âÂ
âI mean all weâve done is kiss and talk a little âcause he had to leave for a shift, butâyeah. I really liked kissing him, and Iâm so excited for our dateâlike, I donât think Iâve felt this excited about a date with someone sinceâsince Abby.âÂ
Maddie softens, because for all her issues with Abby, she knows how important that relationship was to Buck. That this is important to Buck now. That the smile on his face is one sheâs never saw when he was with Ali, or Taylor, or Natalia.Â
That his happiness is something entirely genuine.
âWell, maybe just try avoid an emergency tracheotomy this time around?âÂ
Buck groans, burying his head in his hands, âI never shouldâve told you about that.âÂ

Let me actually try and explain the brainworms I have for these two (Click for better quality since tumblr loves decimating image quality)
Peak enemies-to-lovers vibes. They're both so stubborn and ready to pick fights with each other, but once they catch feelings it's ALL DOWNHILL FROM THERE
Once they catch The Feels theres no going back for either of them. They would DIE for the other if it meant protecting him. ... *nervously glances at Gigamix for Cut and Archie for Quick* haha ANYWAYS-
Also listening to All At Once while making this and feeling very normal /lying
