I love the way you make me feel when I’m staring at my screen.
At 4AM, trying not to fall asleep
And you hit me up just to see if I’m OK
JASON TODD CODED SOOO BAAADD
literally how the crushes form for both sides
jason has like an inner psyche where he just fuckin knows when youre awake
if you ask him he’ll probably say something stupid like ‘i can hear your (guitar)/(voice)’ and he’s nowhere around you
and his heart throbs whenever you two stay texting for waayy tooooo loonggg, starts cheesing and shit
NEERRRDD
average jason todd text
Tumblr media
When I keep you up sending Mamegoma Lines
You know it's shit like that that makes me wanna be alive
JASON TODD CODED LINE. CANON CANON.
he responds through his helmet while he’s kicking ass
it gets so common to a point where he ends up having a full blown convo w/ you using those stupid fuckin stickers
bug him late at night !!
he’ll tell you to gts but he’d be lying if he says it doesn’t make his heart melt when u send him these little fucks.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So I'll call in sick again just to spend the day with you
100% he’ll call a day off to hang with you
whether its showing up to your show then hitting a bar, 100%,
i need jason todd in a relationship where he just drops everything for his s/o,
fuck the mission!! he wants to listen to those fucking vocals for an hour or you shredding ur guitar!!
he’s fucking around in an arcade with you till 11pm
hes a little ass at mario kart, better with motorcycle games,
BRING HIM TO ANY SHOOTER ONES WHERE U HOLD THE GUN AND UR GETTING WAAAASHHHEDD.
he has the most fun with the halo ones or the walking dead ones
weirdly good at the multiplayer pacman games
AMAZING AT GALAXIA ILL DIE ON THIS HILLL
Tumblr media
Wanna say I think it's so gay that we really both feel the same way
That I feel like we're more than just friends
It took too long to realize
I didn't miss the cold weather, I just missed you
Jason was never homophobic and or totally against the idea of him being gay
i dont think he was ever in a gay relationship b4 you two
bc most of the vigilante guys he met were trying to fight him or absolute dick heads,
n’ most of the male figures in his life weren’t the absolute best.
so there wasn’t tooo much room for crushing on a guy too easily
if you’d ask him abt his sexuality its smthn like ‘i think im straight but i dunno what if im not.’
heres how i think it starts ;)
you’re preforming at a bar, n’ ofc jason todd can admit when a guys cute/attractive, any guy could do that
and maybe its ur guitar or your vocals but he cant stop watching (he convinces himself its your talent which is reasonably not gay)
maybe one coincidence leads to another and you two chat and go out at times, he pulls up to your shows more.
and the whole time he thinks he’s just acknowledging that your a very attractive person,
notthin crazy to admit ya homie has mad kisssble lips after starin at them for a sec too long. lol. haha. hm.
and i think the thought really hits him when he’s out of gotham for a mission. and he’s craving your presence
he texts you but you dont respond, fuck right you have a show and the timezone difference—
n he gets fuckin, ANTSY and SAD.
he tries to smoke a cig to fuck off
but he cant stop thinking about that one night where he brings you to his favorite rooftop view of the city,
how those sly stupid jokes slip from your mouth like honey,
the way you glance at him and the moonlight on your skin
how he got that random need to just lean into your lips
and— (GAY REALIZATION PANICC) <- link
'Cause I don't need the cold weather like I need you
And I don't need the sweater weather I just need you
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Fuck! Hahahaha

hes unlabeled your honor.

Quite self indulgent if you ask me. but i wanna cry so . ig this willl have to do
𝒾𝓉'𝓈 𝓉𝑜𝑜 𝓁𝒶𝓉𝑒 - marc s.
In which you finally lose your last straw with marc
paring: marc x fem!reader
wc: 1.26k
theme: angst, not really happy ending
✧˚ · . *:・゚✧*:・゚. · ˚ ✧
You were too tired to do this anymore.
You couldn’t stand it. All the excuses were too much.
“I'm sorry, but I can't tonight. I have things to do.” “The number you’ve reached is not available at this time. If you’d like to leave a message, press 1” “Can’t baby. I'll see about it tomorrow.”
The feeling of loneliness and emptiness hung around your head. It followed you like a curse. You remembered the good times. The times you spent together making a mess in the kitchen, or watching a scary movie curled up on the couch. Those times where you would go on long drives without any care for the world. Those times where only you could think of each other..
But they were all gone. The memories kept fading each and every day. There’s nothing to do about it anymore. 
-
“Marc please answer me…please”
The moon hung high in the sky as you waited anxiously to hear the phone ring. Sitting on the floor next to your bed wasn’t ideal, but it definitely beat being in a bed that didn’t feel like home anymore.
After the fifth ring the phone went dead again. No answer. The tears ran down your face as small sobs left your mouth. 
Why didn’t he call me back? Why isn’t he answering?
You decided it wasn’t worth it. You curled up onto your bed and covered yourself with the warm cozy sheets. You slowly drifted off to sleep, trying not to worry over the man you loved so deeply. You hoped you woke up the next morning with him next to you.
-
But alas that didn't happen. The bed was cold and empty as you woke up with puffy eyes. Your heart ached for him to come back. You missed him. You missed his hugs, his smile, his laugh. You missed how his presence made you feel safe. You tried calling him again and again to no avail each time.
“He’s just busy. He’ll come back.” you told yourself..
-
He didn't come back until 8 days later. 8 excruciating days of calls that weren’t returned. 8 days where texts were read but not responded to. 8 days where the sunken feeling of being alone set into your heart.
It was 3 am. You woke from your slumber to get yourself a glass of water when you heard the door open.
You turned your head to see him. The man you’d thought to be the man you could trust. The man who had your heart ever since you were with him. The man who fixed your broken heart. The man that you could never let go of.
“Where have you been, marc?” your voice trembled, already feeling your heart sink as you watched him sit into a chair.
“Mission” he replied in a monotone voice.
“You didn’t tell me. You didn’t return any of my calls. You read my texts but didn’t respond! You didn’t even leave a note! Marc i was-” you started. Your emotions piling over you.
“Get off my back will ya? I had a god awful week and all i need right now is fucking rest. I don’t need to deal with you and your stupid nagging.” he grunted, laying his head into his hand
That was it. That was the last straw.
You had spent time and time again trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. Always giving him excuses as to why he wouldn’t pick up. Always trying to forgive him when he gave you his “im sorry it won't happen again” speech. 
But it did happen. Over and over and over again..
And this was it.
You were done.
“I'm sorry you have to deal with me. I never knew that it was such a burden. I’ll go.” you said with a lump in your throat.
“Ok then. Leave. Jesus.” 
And that’s what you did. Packed a bag with your most important things and left.
-
Marc was used to waking up to the smell of your cooking. A warm meal to help him recover from the shit he’s seen. But the morning he woke up half naked on the couch, the apartment was empty. No sizzling pancakes. No distant humming coming from you. Just silence and cold.
He was confused for a minute. He walked all over the apartment looking for any traces of you. Some of your clothes were gone. Your favorite stuffed animal. Your toothbrush and toothpaste. He searched his pockets to find his phone. He opened it to find 26 messages and 29 missed calls from you. He attempted to call you, but when he put the phone to his ear, the phone operator said that the number wasn’t available anymore.
Now he was super confused. What happened?
It wasn’t until he sat down at the table did he remember the early events of that morning. How he told you to leave after you were expressing your worries to him.
Fuck.
He fucked up so bad
Fuck.
-
You got up from the couch of your best friend’s apartment when you heard a knock at the door. SHe was at work and told you to crash as long as you needed. Thankfully, today was your day off, so you spent it on a self indulgent day. 
You walked to the door in your fluffy bunny slippers and your makeup headband. You opened the door to see him.
Marc.
“Baby,” he started..
“No.” you said, closing the door. But he stopped right before it could shut.
“Please , wait, just hear me out for a sec.” he pleaded.
You decided to listen to him, already making up your mind to stand your ground no matter what.
“Look, baby, i'm so so sorry. I'm sorry for not responding to you, or-or returning your calls and not returning your calls. Im so sorry baby, i promise it will never happen again. I promise. Please please please come back to me im so sorry…”
You could tell the emotion and regret. But still. It didn’t make u0p for the pain and sorrow you’ve felt for the last few months.
“Marc listen. I loved you. I was there for you. I supported you. But you took advantage of that. I can’t keep betting on your life. I can’t keep waiting until ungodly hours in the morning. I love you but i don’t think this will change. Im sorry.”
You felt his heart sink. You felt it because so did yours.
Marc didn’t respond after that. He just turned away, heartbroken and filled with sorrow. 
What will i do… without her?
-
9 months had passed. You moved into a new apartment. You got a pet cat you named oreo. You had a very well-paying job. You had everything. You have been happy for a while now. You found joy in little things. 
You were happy
You were.
Right?
-
Marc on the other hand wasn’t doing well. His life was in shambles. He slept constantly. He didn’t listen to anyone. He stayed cooped up in your old apartment, trying to recreate the old memories with you. 
But nothing worked. He had to see you.
He had to.
It was a busy day. You had just gone shopping with your friends when you finally sat down at the food court. You got to the table a bit before them, so you were scrolling on your phone when you felt a light tap on your shoulder. You turned around to see him.
Marc.
Your marc.
“Hey” you started..
“Hey…can I talk to you?” he responded.

Allostasis
(Chapter 2)
As a general rule of thumb, Grian doesn’t do public servers for a multitude of reasons. This one hadn’t even made it onto the list.
TW for implied sexual assault, PTSD symptoms, Self-Neglect, and minor Disordered Eating
Read the whole fic here.
-
Grian woke to more messages. Some from hermits, but he didn't bother looking at those too closely, too preoccupied with the hours-old notification in the universal chat.
samgladiator: griannnnnnn
samgladiator: i know you havent blocked me grian cmon
samgladiator: are you mad about the redstone thingy? i was just goofing and gaffing you know what im like lol
Grian laid his head back against his pillow, eyes closed as he tried to figure out how to respond. His eye hurt. He didn't want to get out of bed. He didn't want to build, he didn't want to fish, he didn't want to work on anything right now. He was tired.
His comm buzzed again.
GoodTimeWithScar: hey grain, how are you doing after yesterday?
Grian: bit tired, but just fine! thanks for checking in
He was tapping out a lie before he could even think about it, not wanting to worry Scar. He had enough to concern himself with even before Grian was involved, he didn't have to add any more stressors to his plate.
Scar said something else, but Grian had closed his messages already, opening Sam's again, staring at them. What was he even supposed to say to that? Call him out on his bullshit? Laugh along with his shitty excuse of a joke? A voice in the back of his head was telling Grian to block him, but that would just make Sam mad, he reasoned.
Grian: what do you want sam
He regretted the message the instant he sent it, flinching as he turned off his comm again. Why was he so stupid? Why couldn't he leave well enough alone?
Grian turned over on his side, pulling a pillow over his head with a groan as the communicator buzzed. If only he hadn't just woken up, then he could fall asleep again and ignore all of this for even longer. 
Of course, Grian had no such luck. Instead he laid there, staring at the blank wall in front of him.
His comm buzzed yet again and Grian let out a bitter laugh, he could almost imagine Sam staring in anticipation at his own comm, waiting for Grian to get back to him after all this time. It was kind of pathetic, if that was what he was doing. How lonely was he?
And yet, Grian was reaching over to read his messages anyways.
samgladiator: i'm sorry.
samgladiator: like for real. no jokes. i know we were really messed up as kids and ive been working on it i promise. i guess i saw you and it just felt like we were kids again. fucked up but still in it together. i didnt mean it
He was still trying to process the words when another message came through, automatically populating the chat.
samgladiator: you can keep ignoring me if you want, i get it :( but if youre ever willing, i wanna make it up to you. text me whenever
He was going to throw up. There were a few panicked moments as he dug through his chests, silently pleading to anyone listening that he actually had a bucket up in his base, not just lost in his chest monster down below. His wishes were answered luckily, however unneeded, as he curled over the metal bucket on the floor, retching and dry heaving. His stomach was already empty, bile burning his throat, but that wasn't enough to curb the ill piercing it's way through his entire being.
Grian wasn't sure how long he sat there, bucket in his lap as his body tried to evacuate his stomach's non-existent contents. He was trembling when he finally managed to stop gagging, the bucket empty aside from a couple stray tears that had made their way down his cheeks. He was so tired again.
Shakily, he set the bucket down on the ground, easily accessible just in case. The sound of metal meeting the wooden floor was so, so loud in his ears, echoing around his base, making him flinch. Grian took a deep breath, carefully getting up on two wobbly legs before rolling into bed again. He should eat. 
He didn't get up, falling asleep again.
-
I'm sorry. Sam might as well have written those words on the inside of Grian's eyelids, as often as he was stuck thinking about them. Sam didn't apologize, that was part of what made him so insufferable to begin with, always convinced that he was in the right. So what the hell was this?
Grian wasn't sure how long it had been since he received those last messages from Sam, not really bothering with the passage of time. He'd spent most of said time thinking, turning over what had happened and what Sam had said in his head, picking at pieces of food he had laying around the base, and making up excuses to not have to see any other hermits.
He knew he was in a sorry state, and he knew he had to pull himself together before anybody saw him. Unfortunately, the universe seemed to have other plans.
“Grian!” Joel's voice was loud, Grian almost didn't recognize it as his own name, directed towards him. He pulled a pillow over his head, squeezing his eyes shut. Maybe if he ignored him, he'd go away.
That was too much to hope for though. Why would Joel ever go away when he could cause problems instead?
“Grian! It's Sunday!” His voice was getting closer, and all Grian could think to do was hold the pillow even tighter over his head. “It's Sunday and you're not at the permit office! Get your butt out here! Or else I'll come in, and drag you out of your birdhouse by your scrawny little ankles, I swear to-'' Joel's voice peaked in both volume and proximity the same time it petered off into uncertainty. Then, it was quieter again. “Grian?”
Grian just groaned in response, holding the pillow even tighter over his head, maybe he could suffocate in it. Then he would respawn, Joel would laugh it off, call him some names for being stupid enough to do something like that, and everything would go back to normal instead of whatever else was about to happen, whatever lecture he was about to receive.
No such luck. Instead he felt a touch on his forearm, something he instinctively rolled away from which left him looking up at the other, wide eyes meeting even wider. He opened his mouth to say something, but couldn’t force anything to come out. He noticed too late to stop just how tightly he was clutching the pillow to his chest, he must look like a mess.
Joel slowly withdrew his hand, and judging by how his brows furrowed and ears flattened against the top of his head the mess part was definitely true. Without wasting another moment, Joel schooled his expression into something more neutral— as if his tail flicking back and forth didn’t give him away— and sat bodily onto the foot of Grian’s bed, bouncing on the mattress.
“You seem busy, the permit office can wait,” he said with a shrug, not looking directly at Grian. He sat cross-legged, pulling his tail into his lap to brush the fur into place, pulling out a leaf and dropping it on the floor without even checking if Grian would care. His wings itched at the reminder of what could be. “Impulse’s wall is starting to get some graffiti on it, have you had a chance to see? Gem’s got a real good tag up there, I think you’d like it.”
Grian was silent, pulling his legs up just a bit so they weren’t in Joel’s way and shifting onto his back to look up at the ceiling instead of the tanuki in front of him. He couldn’t tell if this was better or worse than if the other had just confronted him about what was going on.
“I’ve actually been thinking about what I want to put on it,” Joel continued after a moment, as if the other actually had responded. Grian’s muscles ached from the sudden movements after what felt like days of disuse, leading to him stretching his legs out again, around Joel this time, but he didn’t seem to mind. “I need to put something up over by my base, I couldn’t stand it if it didn’t match my build, even if it was undeniably fantastic.”
He just kept talking, filling the empty air with his voice. Grian wouldn’t admit it, but it was sort of soothing, having somebody else around instead of just jumping from thought to thought, getting lost in them and feeling worse and worse.
It did start feeling awkward after a little, having Joel sit while he laid in bed, so Grian forced himself to sit up even as his muscles protested, at least a little, leaning back against the headboard of his bed.
“Thought you might have fallen asleep or something,” Joel joked once Grian had settled, making him look away in embarrassment. “I wouldn’t have blamed you, you look blummin’ tired, huge bags under your eyes. Something bothering you?” He asked, as if the answer wasn’t obvious. Grian only shrugged, not trusting his voice after so long, thankfully Joel didn’t push for an answer beyond that, coming to the same conclusion. “Stupid question, sorry. New question, when’s the last time you got out of bed?”
Grian must have made a face at that, because Joel laughed before managing to catch himself, snapping his mouth shut, which pulled the quietest huff of laughter out of Grian in turn. Just that by itself made his throat hurt a bit.
“Don’t laugh at me, I’m trying to be a good friend here.” Joel’s tone was light, and his smile made it clear he considered the small noise a success. “Hey, bed boy, let’s get you up and clean, how’s that sound? You go shower, and I’ll make you some real food.”
He wanted to protest, but his throat felt all closed up, and his traitor of a stomach growled at the thought of something other than stale bread for the first time in forever. Instead he pouted, petulant, and held his hands out.
“Yes!” Joel pumped his fist, making Grian roll his eyes. This was so stupid. “Sorry, come on, let’s get you moving again.” He slid off the bed first, taking Grian’s hands and helping him stand up. He almost fell at first, leaning far too much of his weight onto Joel, his legs wanting to do nothing but lay down again. “Careful, can you stand by yourself?”
It took a couple hundred ticks for him to stop swaying, and a couple more for him to finally stand on his own, wings spread just a bit to help him keep balance. He took a deep breath, trying to think of anything but said wings.
“Good job, you’re doing great,” Joel murmured, and it didn’t sound mocking at all, but Grian couldn’t help himself from ruining everything good that happened to him.
“I’m not a child,” he croaked out, voice rough from disuse, it almost didn’t sound like him.
Joel must have thought the same, because he looked shocked, though he quickly gathered himself again. “I know you’re not,” he scolded gently, too kind, “but you look like you’ve been through hell and back, and I want to make this as easy for you as possible."
And now he felt bad, guilty, for ever considering anything different than that. “Sorry,” he managed, even quieter, but Joel shook his head.
“Go get cleaned up, alright? I’ll make some food for you.” He brushed Grian’s hair out of his eyes, brows furrowing again, and he only pulled away when Grian nodded, throat hurting too much to say anything else at the moment.
He didn’t think Joel was going to find anything to make in his base right now, having neglected to actually fill many of the chests, Grian was lucky to have had enough bread to last him as long as it had. Regardless, he made his way to the tiny shower he’d managed to cram into the base, cranking the water heat up as high as it could for now and carefully pulling his t-shirt he’d been wearing for void knows how long off over his wings. He crinkled his nose, imagining the smell he’d become blind to and immediately feeling grateful that Joel hadn’t said anything about it.
Grian kicked off his pants without much fanfare and immediately dove into the shower, melting under the hot water. Now that he was made aware of it, he could feel the layer of grime that was surely there covering his skin, burning water finally melting it away. He carefully sat on the floor of the shower, barely managing to fit in the small space, especially with his wings. He took a deep breath, resting his head on the wall behind him, and just soaked it up like a fish left out of the river for too long, he chuckled softly to himself at the comparison.
He must have dozed off or something, because he jolted awake at the sharp knock on the door, and Joel's voice coming from just outside of it. “You alright in there Grian? Food’s almost done!”
“Y-yeah!” He called back before even thinking about it, regretting it immediately, voice scratchy. His throat hurt, but he didn't have time to worry about that, fumbling for the shampoo among the other bottles in the shower with him.
He definitely spent too much time just sitting under the water, so he tried to properly clean himself up as quickly as possible, so Joel wouldn't be left waiting. It wasn't long before he was out again, towel around his waist, hair and feathers dripping as he peeked out the door into the rest of the base.
“Joel?” He tried not to speak too loudly, not wanting to irritate his throat more, but he needed the other's attention. It seemed the other wasn't wandering far though, with how quickly he reappeared. “Can you-” He coughed. “Can you bring me clean clothes?”
Joel brightened up the more he spoke, nodding quickly as his tail swished behind him. “Of course! Be right back!” And he was off again.
He was back just as quick, and Grian didn't have the energy to ask him how he managed to find everything so easily, and whether or not his closet was left in decent state. Instead he closed the bathroom door again, pulling on clean clothes and already feeling a bit better. The sweater topped that feeling off, covering him like a security blanket. He shook the water out of his hair and wings before padding out into the main room again, catching a whiff of something that smelled amazing.
“Hey,” Grian's gaze fell on Joel, who was setting up a place for him to sit. “Your hair's a mess still.”
He blushed, shrugging his shoulders. He sat down before Joel even suggested he did, feeling tired.
“I can brush it for you,” he offered, setting down a grilled salmon in front of Grian, whose mouth was watering already. “I've done it for Lizzie before, I promise not to pull.”
“Did you catch this?” Grian asked instead, forcing himself to slow down before he ate the whole thing immediately.
“Borrowed one of your poles, figured you wouldn't mind too much,” Joel explained, setting a steaming mug down in front of him too.
He hummed softly in response, forcing himself to slow down after a couple bites and taking a sip of the tea Joel had made him. Far too sweet.
“I added some extra honey,” either Joel was reading his mind, or he'd made a face without realizing. “Your throat sounded pretty rough, it'll be good for you.”
“Thanks,” he mumbled, truly meaning it, whether it sounded that way or not. Joel was pretty quiet while he finished eating, puttering around the small base, occupying himself. Eventually he finished, pushing the plate away for later, and he heard Joel coming up behind him.
“I found your brush, mind if I take care of your hair?”
Grian sighed, a little smile creeping onto his face. “I guess, you promised not to pull though,” he reminded the other, head tilting back a bit.
“And I meant it!” Joel sounded offended, though he snickered after a second. “It'll help, you'll feel more like a person,” he murmured, and Grian felt him starting to work his fingers through his hair.
“You've been helping a lot already,” Grian admitted softly, relaxing easily into the touch. How long was his hair now? It couldn't be too much longer than he usually kept it.
“Glad to hear,” for once Joel didn't sound smug or full of himself, just genuinely glad. “How long have you been out of it?” The brush started working it's way through his hair.
“Dunno,” Grian mumbled, taking a deep breath. “Since… Since I last went off server,” he felt himself tense a little at the reminder, wings twitching.
“With Scar and Mumbo?” Joel kept his tone even, non-judgemental for once. “They mentioned your eye, was that what happened?”
A hand suddenly flew up to his eye, gently touching the skin near it. “P-part of it. Is it still there?” He'd been avoiding looking in the mirror since.
“Barely,” Joel assured him, and the motion of the brush through his hair started relaxing him again. “I only noticed because I knew to look for it. You said part, what else happened?”
He felt like his throat was closing up, eyes watering a little. “My- my wings,” he managed out, taking a deep breath. “Something happened.”
“Something,” Joel repeated, hands never stopping. “Are they alright? Nothing broken at least? They don't look broken.”
“N-nothing broken,” Grian confirmed, feeling them tremble, just a little. “Don't really wanna-”
“That's fine,” Joel murmured, and it was quiet for a moment. “With me? Or with anyone?”
He didn't know how to answer that, opening his mouth to begin speaking, only to close it when he couldn't think of anything. No, not Joel specifically, but he wasn't sure who, if he would anyone.
“I usually braid Lizzie's hair when I'm done,” Joel said nonchalantly, the brush regretfully leaving Grian's head, “but yours is pretty short. We could try a little ponytail if you want, I think it'd be fun.”
Grian shook his head, reaching for the mug of tea again. Knowing Joel, he'd gather up all the hair in front of his head, pull it all together right on his forehead… Though maybe not today specifically.
There was silence for a bit, comfortable, until Joel decided to speak again. “Would you tell Mumbo?”
Grian froze. Would he? He could. Mumbo knew the kind of stuff he went through when he was young, even if just vaguely. He was scared though, there was always the chance, no matter how small, that Mumbo would scold him when he found out just how deep that rabbit hole went.
“Careful, you'll shatter that,” Joel warned him, moving to take the mug from his white-knuckled hands, setting it down on the table again. Grian hadn't even noticed how tightly he'd been holding onto it. “Not Mumbo then, what about Scar?”
Scar. Scar didn't know any of it. At least, he knew less than Mumbo, he'd have less context clues to put it all together, he'd be reliant on the details Grian told him, and only those.
“... Maybe, I don't know,” he answered honestly, tracing the grain in the table with his finger.
“Maybe is better than no, or trying to shatter a cup of boiling tea all over yourself,” Joel was being dramatic, it wasn't even steaming anymore. “Why don't you take a nap? I'll get him over here in the meantime, I think he'll help, even if you don't tell him.”
Grian hadn't even realized how tired he was again, the thought of a nap sounding much more pleasing to him than it usually would. He didn't even think to argue, nodding as he carefully got up from the table, a yawn escaping him.
“Careful now,” Joel warned, helping him to bed. Grian would have taken offense at that were he not so exhausted, and the second he was laying down again he was out like a light.

I really loved ur short story ‘Bakugou’s game’ I would love to see a part 2 of it. Maybe a few months later or something reader is trying to get over bakugou and is really cold to him when he tries to fix their relationship and he sees her at a party with a date and he gets super jealous and possessive after seeing them together. Which leads to make up sex and hopefully reader giving bakugou a chance to make it up to her. Or be totally angsty and make reader pull a uno reverse of him.

Bakugou was misreable without you, the break up eats him away until he forced himself to go out to speak to you.
Bakugou never understood the idea of someone being so sorrowful about a break up that they forget their pride and beg for the person back. That is, until now. He’s starting to understand why people take break ups so badly. Cause he’s taking it badly.
Everyday is a new thing to notice. Everyday is a new thing he didn’t even know he was used to after dating you so long gone.
When he came home to his apartment you weren’t there to welcome him. When he walked past the bathroom you wernt there to sing horrible on purpose in the shower to annoy him. When he ate at the table you wernt there to tell him about your day in an exaggerated tone. When he sat down on the bed without changing you wernt there to yell at him for his outside clothes touching the clean mattress. When he spiced his food to hot you wernt there to dramatically cough and pretend to fall over. When he woke up in the middle of the night you weren’t there to tell him to “close them damn eyes again”.
Everything was different. He hasn’t moved a single bit of his furniture yet the house changed drastically.
He started to lack on his chores, throwing himself into his hero work. He exhausted his body to the point of throwing up. That and the combination of the lack of sleep and the lack of rest.
He had nightmares of how he acted. It would usually play out with you doing what he did to you. It was insufferable. Every single thing in his dream was something that he’s done before.
He looked down at his phone with his newly founder insomniac eyes.
Doll, Im so sorry. It will NEVER happen again. Im a fucking idiot and I’d do anything to make it up to you. Please just respond back.

Whenever you’re ready.
Sent just now.
It was true, you read every single text. You read them almost 10 times over. You weren’t ready to respond.
At first, Bakugou’s texts confused you. This was against his pride. He would never suck up to you like this. So you laid it down to drunk, sad, sleepy, and/or desperate texts. It wasn’t his character so naturally you went looking for answers.
The last month has been terrible for you too. You were staying at your bestfriends house, who was GLAD to have you.
You avoided everything that mentioned him. News, certain social media platforms, public areas, etc. if it wasnt for your friend, you wouldve never gone out.
After that last text he stopped reaching out for the coming months. Things were peaceful, you were okay.
You hadn’t gone back to any club/parties since the incident. But your friend, being a party person, forced you out to a nearby club. They also made you agree to going with this guy, whatever his name was, to have a little blind date. Your friend figured it’d been a couple months and you needed to touch some bitches. You were against it, still getting over Bakugou, but they used the favor you owed them to seal the deal.
So now you found yourself at the club, chatting with a guy at one of the booths. He was actually tolerable, not your type romantically, but someone you’d be friends with. You supposed that the first step to a relationship was being friends so you continued to persue.
He was rather handsome too, not godly handsome like your ex- you needed to stop doing that. Comparing everyone to Bakugou is whats gonna make you single for life. Bakugou was not an easy man to pass.
You laughed at his joke as he continued to tell it. “Yeah man, she was crazy! She ended up calling my mom and telling her that I had set the house on fire! My mom was worried to death! Then she hit me after she found out the house was okay like I told her!”
You shook your head, “Exes man, I swear!” He leaned down towards you, “You got any exes that make you want to start a war?” You immediately nodded, “My last ex was a handful.” “Did he tell your mom you set the house on fire too?” You laughed, “Nahh, thatd be so much easier to manage. My ex, well, he-“
Prying red eyes watched you from the corner of the room. Bakugou didn’t even wanna come to this club tonight. He was, like you, forced to come out of pity of his friends. To think he could’ve missed the chance to see you and this guy flirting and laughing together.
It could be a close friend, maybe a relative, he didnt know. He wasnt close enough to make oht a single word. There was some part of him that aas glad for that nad another part that was incredibly annoyed.
No matter who it was, Bakugou’s hands started to smoke up. His teeth gritted hard against eachother. While he was moaping and suffering you were over here on what looks like a date?
It took everything in him to not just stomp over there and drag you away from the piece of shit. He was glad he hadn’t enough alcohol in him to follow those urges… to a degree.
So he waited. He waited for an opportunity. And he sure as hell got one.
“Oh!” You gasp at the ringing of your phone. You tilt the screen towards you before looking back up at your date with apologetic eyes. “Sorry, I absolutely need to take this!” He laugh, “its okay!” His back cracks when he lifts his arms to stretch. “I needa go to the restroom anyway!”
You smiled that smile that he loved. The smile that should only be directed at him. Not at some random guy you just met.
He stalked carefully behind the guy until he was walking into the back hallway with him. The guy barely had a chance to comprehend a single thought before he was slammed up against the wall with his shirt fisted by the blonde.
The man looked startled and freightened. Who wouldnt be? Bakugou’s stare was one to rival Medusa’s. He felt frozen by the pure hatred glazed over.
“What the hell are you doing with y/n.” The sentence came out between his teeth. The man put his hands up defensively, “Aye man, we’re just on a blind date!”
Bakugou’s palms sparkled threateningly, “Im gonna give yoh one chance,” He leaned down to be exactly in the guys face, “Fuck. Off.”
That was all the guy needed before he was out of the door and on his way home. An immediate wave of relief washed over him at the thought of the date finally ending. The positive emotions quickly disappeared at the sound of a famiiar voice, his favorite voice. “Seriously?”
He snapped his head over to look at you. You were even more heavenly up close, just as he remmebered but better. Your arms were folded and you looked at him with such disapproval that he wanted to immediately crawl to his knees and apologize.
“We’re not even fucking dating anymore. You just chased off my date.” He winced, “Fuck.” You scoffed at his curse to whomever. “I should be saying that not you. Leave me alone, asshat.”
Before he could stop himself he had grabbed your arm and pulled you into the closest vacant guest room. He pinned you against the doorway. You were wide eyed and your mouth slightly open. It had happened in an instant, so fast your brain was still trying to comprehend him grabbing your wrist.
Bakugou bit his lip so hard you thought it would bleed. He didn’t know were to start. This day had been rehearsed in his mind over and over again. Yet the words, the speeches, and the numerous i love you’s were gone.
“Im sorry.” Was all he could get out. Your eyebrows furrowed when he mumbled the words. He snaked his hand around your waist as he whispered in your ear. “Im sorry. Im sorry, swear on it y/n. Talk to me again. I miss you. I’m sorry.”
His head dove into your neck, kissing and sucking on every sensitive spot he gained access too. You didnt even have time to gasp before his thigh pried both your legs open. He grinded the muscle against you.
It took everything in your being to not just give in and let him pleasure you. The resolve in your head, the one that told you that him acting like this is conmmunication is what ended the relationship in the first place, slapped the hell out of you though.
His face broke as you roughly pushed him away. He whimpered while trying to trail his hands on his belt to unbuckle it.
The skin of your palm met his face quickly. He completely stopped this time. The sound of the slap reverbing in his head along with the sting. Not just the sting of the slap, but the sting of knowing he fucked up again.
“Have you learnt anything?!” You yelled, tears brimming in your eyes. “This is the reason we broke up! You can’t resolve everything with sex!” You jammed your finger into his chest, “Start thinking with your head instead of your dick! After all this time, I thought you changed. Im so ignorant.”
You turned to leave out the door. Bakugou saw everything flash before his eyes. He saw the relationship you and him had before. He saw the relationship you could have now. And he saw the relationship that fucked up and now has fucked up his life.
“I dont know HOW!” He didn’t mean to yell, really. But something just snapped in him. You stopped to listen so he continued. “I’ve spent the last several weeks missing you. I never even realized how much I fucking… damn it!”
The knot in his throat was getting tighter. You hadn’t turned around yet. “But I just dont know how…” His voice broke halfway through the sentence. He wrapped his arms around you. You felt no lustful intent, only the desire to hold his #1. “I only know how to show my love through fucking. I can be more open! I just dont know how!”
He started to shake, squeezing you even tighter. After a long while, you finally spoke.
“Then I’ll teach you how.” He looks up in bewilderment, is this you forgiving him? In one swift movement you pushed yourself towards him. You grabbed his worried face, tilting him up to look you in the eyes. He was panicked, a panick you’ve only seen a few times since knowing him. “But for now, tell me how you feel in the ways you understand.”
He seemed confused when your hands encircled around his belt and snagged it off. “What? Wait-“ you cut him off with a hefty palm on his clothed cock. His breath caught into his throat. He barely chocked back the moan that you attempted to tear from him as you dove your hands under his pants. He was puzzled, yet his arousal and the feels of your hands encircle around his throbbing cock hypnotized him.
Instinctively, he reached between your legs to rub you in return. He whined when your hand gently pulled his away. “I’m okay, you just focus.”
Easy for you to say, he thought, or atleast tried to. It wasn’t easy to focus on the situation when you began to pull his cock out and rub it against your entrance. It felt too good. It had been too long. Too long having to rub himself out to a picture of you. The real deal felt euphoric.
His hips bucked into yours, starting at a brutal pace. He picked up your legs to give himself more range. The sounds of skin on skin were loud, not as loud as the combined sound of the moans and groans you both chocked out, but loud.
He tilted his head back, his whole chest was flushed a deep red. He cursed into your neck where he had begun to lick and suck. “Damn it, I-I missed you.” Your whole body tensed when he angled himself to hit that spot deep inside of you. It was your turn to curse.
“I just- these past couple of weeks- nghhh… ive been- I cant live without you alright!” His thrusts picked up, “I regret everything I have ever done to make you upset- hhhnnm…”
Tears well up in your eyes when you start to reach your orgasm. You weren’t gonna last long either. Like him, the sensation was a lot after being away from eachother so long. He had forgotten his strength as he thrusted into you so hard you wouldn’t doubt if angry bruises were already forming.
“Katsuki… I love you,” You whined desperately. He started to unwind, tensing and untenseing, when you came around his cock while moans spilled through your mouth. It almost hurt how stong the orgasm was. Almost.
He bite into his lips so hard it began to draw blood. “Fuck, I love you too y/n! So fucking much!” With that he exploded inside you. His hot seed painted your walls without missing a single spot.
He slowly lifts you down to your feet, only to stabalize you when your knees buckle. He wrapped his arms around you, “I fucking missed you.” You breathed in deeply when he kissed at your temple, “I missed you too Katsuki.”

If I Were A Blackbird, part 9 [co-written with @darkmagyk] [read on ao3]
For three days, Percy had gone back to his room in the evening, taken out his phone, and stared at the name Annabeth Chase in his contacts. He’d toyed with the idea of changing it a few times to Princess Annabeth. Or maybe just adding a crown emoji or something. But he’d done nothing, save for closing his phone, and sighing with relief when Jason showed up and he no longer had the space for a long, quiet, private conversation with… no one. 
But on that third day, he had nothing to do. It was a rest day, with no practice, press things, or even friend’s events to watch. Jason was right on the cusp of his big race, so he wasn’t even around to distract him. 
And as the hours dragged on, the name in his phone could not be ignored.
He’d called his mom. He’d facetimed Estelle, managing to avoid Paul for royal watcher reasons. Luke was technically at work, but they’d spent an hour or so texting. He’d even IMed Nico about his travel plans.
All his attempts to reach out to Rachel had ended with her asking if he’d called his princess back yet. 
He was basically down to messaging Thalia, who would be rightly pissed if he interrupted her in the middle of something important, or breaking down, and actually calling Annabeth. Just to talk to her. Just to hear her voice.
So he listened to half a podcast on the history of the Byzantine Empire. But he could not focus, barely making it through half an episode on the history of the Fourth Crusade. Not when Annabeth’s phone number waited for him. 
He tried to imagine what she would even say to him, if he called to talk. In your dreams? Thanks for the memories? 
For that matter, what would he even say to her? 
The minutes ticked on. He watched his battery drain, ever so slowly, rubbing his thumb across the screen every time it threatened to go to sleep. It was just after 3 pm when, finally, he hit her name on his contact screen, and listened to it ring. 
After two rings, he was ready to give it up. This was a stupid idea. She didn’t want to talk to him. She was screening his calls. She had something more important to do. She didn’t…
“Hello?” 
And his heart jumped.
He’d almost expected her to sound different. More princess-y? What were princesses supposed to sound like? More European, at least. He still didn’t hear much of an accent from her. 
“Percy?”
Oh, shit, he hadn’t meant to not say hi.
“Oh, did you not mean to call?” 
Oh, shit, he hadn’t meant to swear! “No,” he said, quickly, “no, I just… I didn’t really expect you to pick up.” 
“Why wouldn’t I?” she asked, sounding… confused. Or sad. Maybe. 
“Cause… I figured you had more important things to do than talk to me,” he said. 
“I always want to talk to you,” she said, simply, and with a palpable conviction, even over the phone. 
He blushed, even though she couldn’t see it. How do you even respond to something like that? “Me too,” he said, then immediately had to physically sit on his hand so he didn’t smack himself. Fucking idiot. 
But she laughed, a tinkling, musical thing. Like stars strewn across a dark sky, pointing the way to shore. 
He let out a laugh too, shaky, but firm. “So… am I going to be put on some government watchlist for calling you?”
She laughed again, a soft chuckle. Gods, her laugh was the same as he remembered it. And so damn pretty. “I don't really know how to tell you this, but they've already run like four background checks on you.”
That was… something. Not exactly surprising. But still not something he’d considered. “So… find anything good?” he asked, partly out of a sense of preservation, because boy, did he have some wacky stuff in his background. 
“We have determined,” she said. Was that the Royal We he had heard so much about? “That you, Percy Jackson, are a sailor, a historian, and an upstanding gentleman who loves his family and his sport.” 
Oh. Well that was nice.
“My dad was very impressed by your academic background, too,” she added.
“Oh.” Her dad was impressed. He had impressed her dad, the future king of Sweden. If Paul were here, he would have had a coronary. “Anything else?” Hopefully he would impress the future queen, too.
“Yes. We determined that you were also devastatingly handsome.” 
“Well… that’s nice.” He had expected flirting even less than the future king of Sweden being interested in his academics.
“Were you expecting them to find something?” 
Talk about loaded questions. He was suddenly extremely thankful for all the times Luke had been there during a run in with the police. No one ever caught Luke up to anything. And some minor larceny had never been Percy’s modus operandi on his own, anyway. “Not really,” he said instead. “But, ah… got any weird holes I might be able to fill?” he offered up, thinking about a rather glaring one, and wondering what her people might have come up in the father-sized void in Percy’s life.
“Yeah, actually.” He thought he could sense a light layer of trepidation in her voice, hidden beneath her casual tone. Oh, what he wouldn’t give to listen to her voice for hours, mining for every hidden meaning and nuance. “Your father? His name’s not on your birth certificate.” 
“So,” Percy said, “before I actually tell you,” sort of, “I want to state, for the record, that it is super weird that you know that.” 
“Sorry.” 
“No, no, don’t be sorry,” he said, sitting up as the tone of her voice dropped. “It’s okay, I totally get it. And I’m sure Swedish James Bond has a gun trained on me right now.” 
She laughed again, maybe a little bit more subdued. “You aren’t that big a deal.” 
“Ouch,” he grimaced. “That is just what my ego needed to hear.” 
“Good. Girls like a little humility, especially from a sports star-turned-influencer.”
“Do they? I thought they were into bad Olympic puns and blue sandwiches.”
“Some of the weirder ones, maybe.” 
“Nah,” he said, “only the ones worth knowing.”
She was silent, for a moment. He imagined her maybe sitting on her hotel bed, a mirror image to him, holding her phone, and smiling down at it. At his words. He imagined her lips as they curved upwards, highlighting her strong cheekbones, little crinkles at the corner of her gorgeous eyes. 
He coughed, dry and useless. “Anyway, um… my dad.”
“You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to,” she said, extending him the same grace he had given her earlier.
“It’s okay,” he said. “If it helps, I don’t mind.”
And she didn’t push back against it.
Percy sighed, leaning back against his headboard. “My dad… He’s… I don’t even know how to describe him.”
“What does he do?” 
He had a sudden image of Annabeth at a desk, pencil in hand, bent over and furiously scribbling away in her Percy dossier. It had hearts all over it, and a cartoon valkyrie on the front. The mental picture made him smile. “He’s kind of a bum. He fishes a lot, but other than that… I’ve gone fishing with him a few times, but,” he shrugged, “I’ve really had next to no contact with him.”
She hummed over the phone, sympathetic. “Does that bother you?”
“Not really,” he scoffed. “My dad’s the kind of asshole who had a fling with an eighteen year old girl who was completely alone in the world, and then didn’t even stick around long enough to put his name on the birth certificate.” 
“I’m sorry.” 
“I’m not. And I don’t need you to be sorry about him, either,” he said. “It’s just… you know when you spend your whole life swinging wildly between cursing someone’s name and wanting nothing more than their acknowledgement and approval?” 
“Yeah,” she said, softly, and with more than a little bitterness. “Yeah, I do know that feeling.”
“Things are good with your dad, though, right?” He prodded, softly. Her dad. Prince Frederick. Future king of Sweden. 
“He’s only about half of it.” 
Ah. “Your mom?” 
“Mmhmm.”
“Wikipedia said she died when you were a baby.” He cringed as soon as he’d said it, as absolutely nothing from that sentence worked on any level.
Annabeth actually snorted in response. “Want to talk about weird? Cite my Wikipedia page.” 
“Well, you were probably breaking down my high school transcript with Maxwell Smart before I even knew you had a Wikipedia page. So there.” 
“Oh, yes, I was very disappointed by that B+ you got in Latin.” 
“That was my teacher’s fault for scheduling the midterm the day before my swim meet.”
She sobered. “Percy, I was kidding. I haven’t seen anything like that. I… doing checks on you wasn’t my idea, I swear,” she said. “It was more a… preventative measure once the pictures got out. I only knew about the thing with your dad because it was mentioned in the debrief.”
“You had a debrief on me, and my calls are still allowed to come through?”
“I wanted to talk to you,” she said. So damn earnest. His heart skipped another beat. “And I didn’t mean to be weird about your father. I just… I do know what it's like to be missing a parent and to desperately want their approval, and also to hate that they aren’t there for you.” 
“Did your dad ever look at you, and you knew he was seeing your mom, and it kind of crushed you?” Percy asked, quietly. It hadn’t happened a lot, not really. But every time he’d noticed it, he’d felt it in his chest. He’d felt guilty about it, too, which was why he’d never mentioned it to Luke. Luke had so much worse to deal with on the mom front than he did. It hadn’t seemed fair to bring it up. 
She sighed, heavy, world weary, and tinny. “He did.” 
“It sucks.” 
“It does,” Annabeth agreed. “Is… I saw that you had a stepfather. What’s he like?”
In his mind’s eye, he was at his mother’s wedding again, walking her down the aisle, and trying not to cry at the naked love and adoration on his stepfather’s face. “Paul’s amazing,” he said. “He’s just what my mom always deserved.” She’d avoided relationships for so long, devoting so much of herself to taking care of Percy and May and Luke. He couldn’t even really remember her having a lot of friends. He’d been so happy when she’d seriously started working on her writing again, and then going back to school. And then when she’d met Paul, and they’d gotten serious, he’d been absolutely thrilled for them.
“Oh,” said Annabeth, taken aback. “I… I’m glad.”
Oh. “Um… I guess you and your stepmother… uh…” He trailed off, unsure how to continue his thought without accidentally insulting a member of the royals. Somehow, Paul would sense it, and then he’d probably have a heart attack. 
Annabeth sighed. “You don’t want to hear about my messy family politics.” 
“I think family politics for royalty might just be normal politics.” 
“That’s my point,” she said, tiredly. Percy figured maybe she had tread this ground before, maybe even hundreds of times–with her family, with her friends, with her country, even. She had no reason to rehash it, and especially not with him. 
But. “I love my stepdad,” he said, “and he's awesome for my mom. But, also, when I was two, my mom started working for my Aunt May, who we later found out had a relationship with my paternal cousin. I am pretty familiar with weird, fucked up families.” Even giant, old, European ones. Though he didn’t say that part. “So, if you want to vent, or something… I can listen. I don’t mind.” 
She didn’t say anything, not for a long time. But he could still hear the gentle static of the ambient noise of her room. Sitting here, together, in silence, separated only by a phone signal, it was strangely, wonderfully intimate. 
“I don’t really want to,” she said, after a few minutes. 
“Of course. You don’t have to share anything with me.” 
She sighed. “It's not that. It's more just like… I want to talk to you about happier things. Things I actually like. I may not like my stepmother, but I do like you.” 
Percy smiled, slow and creeping, even though she couldn’t see him. “You… like me?” 
“I do,” she said. “Do you like me?”
“I do.” 
And if either of them noticed that those sounded like the responses at a wedding, they didn’t say it out loud. 
“So,” Annabeth said, the noises over the phone making it sound like she was readjusting her position. Maybe she was snuggling into bed, pulling a blanket over her, her hair spread out over her pillow as she relaxed. “What are you up to, today?”
“It's a rest day,” he said. “With the big race coming up, I have to relax at least a little. I have one every two or three days, but my last rest day fell on the equestrian event, so I went and watched my cousin. And my other cousin Nico was there, so we had fun.” He was finally going to get to properly see Nico at dinner tonight, which was good. And Nico hadn’t given him any shit about the whole princess thing. Which was doubly nice. Though, Percy couldn’t help but wonder if it wasn’t because of the whole countess for a mother thing, or because he’d spend so much time in his father’s court. 
“But not today?”
“Not today.” Nico and Hazel were celebrating her silver together. And he’d been invited, but with that kind of reluctant vibe that made it clear the siblings wanted some sibling time, at least until dinner. “What about you? Don’t you have some babies to kiss, or some war to avert, or some village to sack?” 
***
She laughed, despite herself, her head back against her pillow. “I wish,” she said. “You could come with me. We’d sack up and down the coast.” 
“You think I’d be good in a fight?” He asked, a smile in his voice. 
And yeah, actually, she did. But she wasn’t sure why. “You did mention fencing in an interview, right?” 
“You watched my interview?” 
“Wikipedia,” she quickly responded. That was going to be a good get out of jail free card so she didn’t look like a total stalker. At least for a while.
“Well, I did do some fencing, both standard style and more of a–period style, for a time. People tell me I’m not half bad with a sword.” 
“Neither am I,” she said, “We should have a go, sometime.” 
“Oh, I’d like that very much,” he said, his voice tipping down an octave or so. 
Color rising in her cheeks, she changed the topic. “I was–I was actually thinking about the boat thing. Vikings were seafarers, as much as anything. I bet you could get me to all the most well-stocked monasteries.” 
“Well, I’ll admit I’m better in salt water, then fresh, and I know the vikings liked to go up river.” His voice was so bright, like he was talking to a normal girl, a regular old twenty-something who was chatting up the boy she liked, asking if he were down to do some pillaging. “But I bet I could handle a longboat. I’ve managed a lot of boats in my time. I could get you anywhere you want to go.”
“Guess you should have run away with me that day in the marina. We could be living large by now, viking down the coast of Florida.” 
“I do hate Miami,” he said.
For a moment, she could picture it: him, her, a boat, and the open waters. No shitty family to hold them down. No reporters to trail their every step. No responsibilities beyond each other. “I’m sorry, Percy.” The words tripped out of her, like a runner out of the gate. “I’m so sorry that I dragged you into all this.”
“It’s okay.”
“It’s really not.”
He sighed. “I guess not. But I understand.” 
“You do?” she asked, twisting the blanket around her finger. “You’re… not mad?”
A pause. “Maybe I am, a little bit.”
She swallowed. “Makes sense,” she mumbled. “I did lie to you. I’m really, really sorry. I should have told you the truth from the beginning.” 
He actually let out a little laugh. But it wasn’t his normal, buoyant, grinning laugh. It was wry, instead. A little dark. A little guarded. “That’s not why I’m mad.” 
“It’s not?”
“Of course not,” he said. “Look, I’m not, I don’t think, unreasonable. You had no reason to tell me at the beginning. Honestly, it would have sounded like a line. And as hard as it is for me to believe, we did only just meet a little while ago.” And that was the truth, wasn’t it. They’d only just met, not even more than a month ago. They’d known each other for so little time… but it sure as hell didn’t feel like it. “And I’m not entitled to all your secrets. Just like you’re not entitled to all of mine.” 
“You have secrets?”
“Of course I do, Annabeth. Gods, yes, I have secrets. And I like you–a lot. But I’m not–I don’t want to share them all with you right now. And I’ll always extend to you the same courtesy.” 
“Oh,” She said, a wave of curiosity bubbling up in her. A desperation to know. To find out. He’d learned her secrets, after all. But then again, not all of them. Not even the juiciest of them. But, then… “So, why are you mad?”
She heard him blow his breath out, tinny and staticky. “Because… Look, I totally get not wanting to give me the whole story. I’m sure starting off with ‘Hey, I'm a princess and I have security and sometimes the press follows me around’ would have been intimidating. But we didn’t have to go somewhere so public as a movie theater. Or even just walking around the city. I would have happily kept up seeing you in private places.” 
And then, a second fantasy, even more whimsical than the first. They were walking down the streets of Stockholm together on a bright, sunny afternoon, holding hands. She closed her eyes, willing it away.  
“I’m not mad that you didn’t tell me you were a princess. I’m still scared the Swedish government is going to put out a hit on me, but I’m not mad about that. But I am mad that you put me in a really shitty situation with the paps and Twitter and the world, when you knew better, and I didn’t.” 
“I’m sorry,” was all she could say in response. It was not enough. 
“Me too,” he agreed. “I… I can’t say it's okay. Or that it isn’t a big deal. But I know you didn’t mean to do it. So, that helps. I can take negligence over cruelty any day.”
“Still.”
“Yeah. But I’ll get over it.” 
“Soon?” And it was such a dumb, childish thing to ask. 
“Probably,” he said. “You’re pretty cute.” 
“I thought I was beautiful?”
“That, too.”
“Well,” she said, biting her lip to keep herself from smiling too hard, “if… if you want something private… You said it was a rest day. I could send my driver to pick you up. I’ve got a princess suite and I can get you almost any kind of room service for dining.” 
“Almost?”
“Well, I haven’t tried everything yet.” Or… “Or, if you wanted… Maybe I could give you something better to eat.”
“Oh, yeah?” 
Sense memory reared its head, the tug of his lip between his teeth, the feel of his hair in her hands. “I think it could easily be arranged.” 
He hummed across the phone, vibrating into her ear. “I like the sound of that. Tell me more.” 
“This bed is awfully big,” she said, lowering her voice to match. “And I’ve been in it all by myself for days now.” 
“No other Olympian gentlemen callers?” He asked. 
She shook her head. “No one else would help me sack Palm Beach. What use would I have for them?”
“Is that all I am to you? Some muscle? A tongue and a pair of thighs?” 
He didn’t sound too put out at the idea. “But what strong thighs they are, and what a talented tongue. I’ll give you a sword, if you want.”
“But I already have a sword.” 
Boy did he. It reminded her of her favorite dagger, actually. It wasn’t the biggest or flashiest. But it could get into where it needed to go. And do all sorts of damage once inside. 
If Percy had taught her anything, it was that the old saying was true: it wasn’t the size of the wave, it was the motion of the ocean.
“I mean, I do really have a sword, but… that’s not what you meant… uh…” And now he was all tongue tied and adorable and he was probably blushing and she was so blindly desperate to see him. And his sword. Metaphorical or not.
“Um,” she confidently began her offer, “I can call Hans, my driver from the other night, to go pick you up. Sound good?”
But she was not met by any more delicious flirting or awkward stammering. Just a long moment of silence that got longer and longer. 
And his voice had returned to its normal, pleasant tenor when he said, “Maybe we should pump the brakes a bit.”
“Oh.” And she knew she couldn’t keep her deep deep disappointment out of it. 
“Not–not for long,” he rushed, “just… maybe until after the Olympics are over.” Another three weeks. She felt her heart jump into her throat. 
It was probably the smart thing to do. She was working. They were both working. But, then again, the idea of waiting on pins and needles for the rest of this pomp and circumstance was not exactly her idea of a good time. “Sure,” she said, eventually. “That sounds good.”
“Thanks.” 
But, she supposed it was worth it, just to hear the relief in his voice. She could give him a little more time to think about it before dragging him down with her into her world. 
“I should probably warn you, while you think about things,” and she hated to do this, but it was only fair. “Things might calm down a little, but speculation, attention, media stuff. It won’t go away. Even after the Olympics. So… you should probably consider that, while you’re deciding if this is a thing you want to get involved in.” 
“I think you misunderstood,” he said. “I’m not deciding about anything. I’ve made up my mind. I am so down to date you.” The grin that broke out on her face could have left a permanent scar, her heart jumping in her chest. “I just… I need some time for my races. And maybe to warn my mom.” 
“You’re really cool with this.” It was kind of unbelievable. It was kind of amazing. 
“Should I not be?” 
“No, I’m just… surprised, I guess. But, pleasantly.”
“Would you believe me if I said that the hot girl I was seeing turning out to be a princess isn’t the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to me?”
She paused. Because not really, no. And then Piper’s words came wiggling into the back of her mind.
“So, I have to ask,” she finally said, hating every word that was about to come out of her mouth. “Are you a secret prince?”
“...Am I what?”
“Like, maybe of some dynasty that lost its power in the wake of one of the world wars? Or maybe in the German Unification?” 
There was a long moment of silence. 
“Is…” He didn’t seem sure how to respond. “Um… is that a thing that happens?”
“Not in my experience,” she admitted, “no.” But stranger things had happened. 
“I mean… there’s a family legend that my mom’s mom’s family was descended from the Byzantine emperors,” he said. “But other than that… probably not.” 
“Probably?”
“Anything’s possible, right? But really, no. I promise, I am just a Connecticut Yankee in Princess Annabeth’s Court.”
“That’s so fucking cute,” she said. “I hate that.” 
“Thank you. I try very hard.”
“I’ll talk to you soon?”
“Definitely, princess.” 
She shuddered. “Annabeth.” 
“What?”
“Please, just… call me Annabeth. All the time, but especially if you’re just talking to me.” Beneath her blanket, she curled her legs up, tensing her toes against the soft fabric.“I can do that, Annabeth,” he promised, and she felt like she could breathe again. “I can do that.”

The lost world
I spent an entire school year on this :D It started off as a silly little story but its turning into a 14 page monstrosity.  It’s not quite done but with the year coming to a close I thought I would  post it here!
“It’s too early for this” I thought as I sat in the classroom. My teacher was blabbering on about 1776 or something. I don’t really know. All I could focus on was my phone. I was waiting for my best friend, Kat, to respond. It wasn't important but she wasn't here today and I was admittedly worried. I know I should probably be taking notes. My grades weren’t great and I was fine with that. People expect me to get up at 7 am every day and go to this hellhole and still be chipper and eager to learn? Sure. I tried to text Kat again and waited for a second. It failed. I checked my wifi and it was fine. I turned on my data instead thinking that may help but still nothing. The thought of anything happening to her chilled me to the bone. I looked up at our last text conversation with her last message reading “I can’t take this school or this world in general anymore.” I attempted to convince myself that she was just sick and sleeping at the moment My leg started to bounce as I turned off my phone and shoved it in my pocket. How do girls do anything with tiny pockets? I’ll have to ask Kat when I see her next. 
The teacher began handing out a worksheet and I sighed internally. Does anyone like this busywork? I saw the girl sitting next to me eagerly grab the sheet and immediately start it. Ok, maybe one person likes this crap. I took a look at the sheet and it seemed easy enough. There were only about 10 questions and they were about James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton so I could get it over with pretty quick. The bell rang and I put my assignment in my folder, grabbed my bag, and threw it over my shoulder. 
I walked to my next class and it was weirdly empty. We only had a 4 minute passing period and the only other person in there was the same girl that liked homework. Hell, not even the teacher was there. Two more people walked in, a smaller girl with short brown hair wearing a white frilly tank top and a short pink skirt. She had an annoyingly loud voice. She was like the embodiment of nails on a chalkboard. She was talking to Jake, I only know his name because no one ever stops saying it. He’s the captain of the football team. He had a bigger build and was simply wearing shorts and a sweatshirt that had our school’s logo on it. Not really sure why he was wearing shorts, as it was the middle of January but I digress.
They were talking loudly and the girl said "Jake stoooopp im too small" and did that stupid hand thing. You know, the one where they try to look like a cat. Jake looked extremely uncomfortable and tried to find a way out of the situation. As soon as they fully got into the classroom, the alarm sounded. I believe it was the one for an intruder but I don’t remember. Judging by the fact that the teacher’s pet started barricading the door it probably was. I began to notice a sound coming from the vent. It was a hissing noise. "You guys may want to cover your mouths.” I said without really thinking. All I knew is that it was better to stay safe than sorry and this could save lives if this was deadly.
I'm not sure when I passed out but I opened my eyes and I was most definitely not in the classroom anymore. I was on top of a hill that had a small town just north of it. There was a path leading to the town and to the west there was a forest with dark twisted trees and I couldn’t see too far into it. The others were on the same hilltop as I was but they weren’t awake. I had a terrible headache and my leg seemed to be bleeding. I noticed that I still had my backpack on me and I looked in it hoping I still had my bandaids. Everything was still in there which was a relief. I looked at my cut and realized I couldn’t cover it with the bandaid. I used my extra gym shirt to clean up the blood.
Next, the goodie two shoes woke up and immediately started panicking. “Where are we? Where is my bag?” I looked at her and she stopped rambling. She looked down at the two that were still sleeping. “Hey- wait what’s your name?” I asked her. “Emma...So anyway, do you know where we are?” I shook my head and finished tying a piece of cloth around my leg. I looked back up at her and she had a huge bruise on her arm. “Are you ok?” I asked her. She seemed confused and then seemed to notice her arm.
It was then the other two woke up. The pick-me grabbed onto the poor guy’s arm and he just looked at us as to ask for help. “Now isn’t the time for cuddles.” Emma said, “We’re trying to figure out where we are.” She ignored Emma and started talking to the guy “Jakie Wakie im scaaaared” She said this in the most annoying high-pitched voice. “So im assuming your name is Jake then?” I asked him in a half-joking matter. He nodded and he gestured to the leech on his arm saying "this is Mia." “So Mia” I began, “would you mind maybe leaving Jake alone so we can figure out what’s happening?” She shook her head. “Im scawedy wardy”. That physically pained me to hear. “Let him go,” Emma said. I looked over at her, kinda shocked she lost her temper, and then realized that she was done with Mia’s crap as well. She let go of Jake, Pretty startled as well.
“Now, I think our best bet is to go down there,” I said and pointed to the town. Everyone looked down. Emma got up and began to walk down the hill and then gestured for us to follow. “So I was thinking that we could-” Jake’s voice trailed off and then he started again “what’s your name?” he asked. It was then I realized that we knew nothing about each other. “Tomas” I replied just as we got to the town. We got hit with the smell of the most amazing food. “Crap I haven’t eaten today” Emma said as her stomach growled. I looked around and saw there was a shop. “C’mon we can probably buy something there” I suggested. “I don’t have any money” Emma whispered. I took off my backpack and grabbed my wallet. “It’s alright,” I said and started walking towards the shop. There were not many people here that we could see. The town looked like something out of a fairytale. I thought we had walked into a renaissance festival or something because this looked nothing like my hometown.
We walked into the shop and a little bell rang. It was a small shop and the shelves were all made of wood. The items didn’t look like something you would normally see. Emma went up to go talk to the shopkeeper, who was turned away from us rummaging through a tote. 
“Excuse me?” Emma hesitated. The shopkeeper turned around and to Emma’s surprise, the shopkeeper had pointy ears.  “Yes, dear? What may I-” The shopkeeper began but she seemed to be startled by Emma. “A-are you a…” She began and then said in a hushed tone “Are you a human?
“I am” Emma stammered, “and what are you?” The shopkeeper seemed confused by this “Well, I’m an elf, what else do you expect in Scifair?” Jake piped up “Scifair?” The shopkeeper sighed “More tourists from Crossfalls, huh?” Mia began “No we-” I cut her off “Yep! Just came in, this town is absolutely beautiful!” I kicked Mia where the shopkeeper couldn’t see and she seemed to take the hint. “We don’t get many humans around here, With their history with the elves and all,” I nodded and tried to pull this off “Yeah well we are suckers for history, right guys?” Everyone else awkwardly said something in agreement.
“Alright then…” The shopkeeper hesitated “What did you come in for?” Emma was reminded why we were here. “Oh right! Do you sell food here?” The shopkeeper nods and points us to the far end of the shop. We grab a couple of apples and go up to the shopkeeper. I put the apples on the counter. "That will be 3 G." The shopkeeper said. I looked at Emma who had quite a startled look on her face and then I looked back at the shopkeeper. "Is there any other form of payment you take?" I asked in a moment of panic. "Oh yes yes we also take knowledge!" She replied perkily. I pulled the others into a huddle. "These people don’t seem to be from any modern times." I began "So I think we should simply say something that is from our time." It sounded really stupid but Emma nodded and her eyes lit up as she went back to the counter. "Our knowledge is that in the future there will be these things called phones" She started "And many people will have them. They can call people from all over the world and-" She pulled out her phone as she was telling the mesmerized shopkeeper about phones. I took this opportunity to throw a couple of drinks in my bag and as Emma finished up she grabbed the apples and said her goodbyes to the shopkeeper.
As we stepped out of the shop, we finally got a good look at the town. There were quite a few buildings. The shop we had gone in was made of brick and there were a few more things made of brick and further down a dirt road were a collection of houses and a group of children playing. There were lanterns hanging from the buildings, unlit. But the thing that really caught my eye was a building with a sign that read "Tipper tavern" There was a bunch of noise coming from there and it sounded interesting. I told the group that we should go in and Jake immediately agreed with me. " I don’t think we should" Mia whispered. Emma nodded "For once I agree with you, I don’t think it’s a great idea…" Jake thought for a minute. "Fine you guys can wait out here alone and-" Emma immediately changed her mind "oh no it's ok we can go in"
We stepped in and the first thing we can see is a bunch of Elves, Satyrs, pixies, and stuff of that sort, kicking something on the ground. Jake and I try to make out way to the front, only to see a poor Dragon humanoid on the ground. I ask pixie what’s happening and they say "This mother F-er came into scifair! We don’t want any of these F-ing-" I started to tune them out. I look over at jake and he is helping up the creature. I sighed and went over to help him and immediately saw jake get nailed in the face. He tried to continue shielding this creature that is the size of a grown man but I grabed the thing's hand and run out of the crowd. Amidst all of the chaos, half of the people don’t even realize the thing they hate is gone and the ones that do, don’t really know where it went.
When we get out of the crowd, me and jake book it out of the tavern. in hand. Emma and Mia follow us, confused. I explain what happened as we are walking through the town. "Excuse me" we hear a voice say. I look around and feel a slight tap on my shoulder. It was the Humanoid. Mia screams and jumps into Jake’s arms but he doesn’t catch her and she faceplants. Emma is somehow unfazed and begins talking to him.
"Hey," Emma begins "what's your name? "Cozbi..." The creature replies
"Well hi, Cozbi," I say as I look up to talk to her "Do you know why those people were kicking you?" Emma hits me. "What my friend is trying to say-" She gets cut off by Cozbi. "No it’s ok, It’s because dragons aren’t liked too much here. Because of the whole taking over their villages and whatnot" I nodded along with the others but they were not great at hiding their panic and confusion.
Cozbi looked at them and saw they didn't know what he was talking about. "You...dont know what im talking about, do you?" Mia shook her head. Cozbi began to explain.
"Well, years and years ago, there was a Dragon named Dolin. He was mighty and well respected. He was one of the most powerful dragons there was and he hated Elves but no one really knows why. One day he came to this very village and began destroying buildings, killing the locals, stuff like that. He had an entire army with him as well so the elves formed an alliance with the satyrs, pixies, and centars. In retaliation, the dragons formed an alliance with humans. The war was long and painful but in the end, the dragons won. The elves had promised that they would let their allies live in their towns once the war ended so now the land is divided between the dragons and everyone else."
Emma piped up "What happened to the humans?"
Cozbi nodded "They went extinct years ago"
He began to look us up and down "What are you guys anyway?" We all exchanged glances. "Humans..." Jake said. Cozbi was startled at this. "B-but why are you-" He looked us up and down, puzzled. "We are uh... Not from around here" I said trying to change the subject. Cozbi took a breath. "Then where are your weapons?" He asked. I looked at the other three and they all looked confused. "You most definitely won't survive without weapons" Cozbi started. Jake's eyes lit up. "CAN WE GET WEAPONS??" He looked so excited his eyes were gleaming. He shot his hands in the air. Cozbi nodded "Yes I have a sister who is a weaponsmith. She could help you guys" I nodded and looked at the girls, they seemed hesitant. "Im not so sure about this" Emma worried. Mia nodded. "Look, we need to survive here. I don't know where we are or why we are here but we need to stay alive, ok?" 
Emma said that with fear in her voice but barely any emotion on her face. It honestly scared me so I just nodded along. She turned her attention to Cozbi "Do you think we will get into fights?" Cozbi nodded almost aggressively "oh yes yes yes most definitely."  Jake smirks " Then I guess we will need weapons"
I sigh "Yes I guess so" Jake is over there looking like a kid in a candy store. Meanwhile, Mia is faking excitement for Jake and Emma seems to be done with everyone's crap. Cozbi nodded "yes, yes follow me" 
Jake was right behind him, he was walking almost like a cartoon character. Mia was right behind him bud she was oddly not all over him. I and Emma were behind everyone talking,
"Why did you okay this??" Emma said rather angrily
"we need to survive don't we?" I replied
"We NEED to get information on where we are"
"We cant get information if were dead"
She stopped for a minute and then tried to change the subject
"Dang Mia hasn't talked for a while"
I laughed "yeah, im getting kind of worried"
"And she's not all over Jake"
"Maybe she's over him?"
There was a slight pause and then laughter, it was quiet sure but it was nice. It was nice to have a friend that wasn't…Kat. I remembered her. I remembered that she never responded to my text. I missed her and wondered how she was doing. I looked at my phone again and, no service. "You alright?" Emma asked. I realized I had been zoned out for an odd amount of time. I nodded and we continued walking with Cozbi.
When we reached the small town I saw a building that read "Bela armory" As we walked into the stone building the smell of burning lofted in the air. "Not again" Muttered Cozbi. Before any of us could ask what's up, a dragon humanoid thing came out of a large metal door. She seemed to be on fire but she wasn't fazed at all. "Oh my stars…" Cozbi said as he grabbed a nearby fire extinguisher and sprayed the energetic girl with it. "Thanks, Coz!" She said. She had a very lighthearted voice. She was wearing these glasses that had tinted green lenses and a tattered leather apron. Her hair was messy and her smile was huge.
She gasped when she saw us " COZ did you bring me customers??" She said that in a very loving tone. Cozbi nodded and the girl picked him up and twirled him around. He looked startled and as she put him down she looked at us. "Heya! Pleasure to meetcha! The names Azzy!" She held out her clawed hand as Jake shook it he recoiled in pain. "Fragile kids you must be" she stated. Jake looked offended at this but didn't say anything. Azzy began inspecting us and mumbling and then ran off into the room she had come from.
Cozbi looked at us and with an awkward laugh said “yeah my sister is something” we all nodded and then
CRASH
An arrow came flying out of the room and went directly into a toolbox that was inches away from me. I jumped as well as everyone else except for cozbi. He looked apologetic and tired as he walked over to the room. We heard muffled talking that got louder and louder. But we still couldn't make out what there were saying. 
Azzy and Cozbi walked out of the room and he seemed to be scolding his sister. As Azzy got closer to us I could make out what she was holding. There was a bow in her right hand along with a quiver along her right shoulder, there was a pair of metal nunchucks with spikes on it on her belt and next to it a sword in a sheath. Then in her right hand, there was what seemed to be a large stick with an orb inside of it. She laid everything out on the table and said “alright, im going to explain each of these.” 
She pointed to the bow and quiver which had about 9 arrows in it. “This bow is nothing out of the ordinary, however, the quiver can regenerate the arrows. It has a 5-second cooldown period but as long as you cant shoot that many arrows in 5 seconds, you should be okay.
“Next,” Azzy pointed to the next weapon“These nunchucks have been sitting on my workbench for quite a while. They are poison-tipped so be careful to not hit yourself with them. If you hit your enemy with them, they will become significantly slower and easier to kill.
She then moved her hand over to the sword. “This is my favorite weapon, it can extend up to 60 feet. It has barely any use when it's that big but-” She was cut off by Jake grabbing it. “Alright then…” 
“And lastly” she put her hand over the stick with the orb in it. “This is the great staff of evermore. It can shrink objects, produce any liquid by the gallon, produce water out of thin air, and so much more. It is mostly unknown to me. I would say it's because it can only be handled by a great and powerful worrier but that wouldn't be true, I just don't want to deal with it. It's annoying and hard to use.
Everyone besides Jake, who was messing around with the sword, went up to the table. Mia grabbed the nunchucks and began looking them over as Emma grabbed the bow and quiver. That left me with the glorified stick.
I began to look it over and run my hand across it. The orb began to glow as I touched it. The rest of the stick was covered in this engraved design. I knew it was writing but it definitely wasn't in English. I spent a hot minute looking over the words trying to make sense of them before I looked up and asked Azzy what they meant. She shrugged “I donno kid I haven't spent a ton of time experimenting, I found this thing in some ruins of an old village just east of Greycott.”
Just then, one of the windows began to glow. It was so bright. It was a violent purple and the rest of the room went dark. Azzy and Cozbi looked afraid. The only difference is that Azzy was bouncing her leg and talking to herself as Cozbi was obviously trying to hide his fears. My classmates and I were looking at each other frantically. This was honestly one of the craziest things we had seen. The window became a twisting swirl for about 5 seconds and then a hooded figure appeared on the screen. The face was obstructed and the voice was autotuned. The figure began to speak “Hello Jake, that's a nice sword you have there” Jake looked around and then whispered with a trembling voice “It can hear us?” The figure went on “Let's cut the chit-chat kids. You aren't supposed to be here.” Emma sort of laughed to herself and said under her breath “you got that right” The voice was angered by this. “SILENCE” We all jumped. The voice continued “You all have a month to go back to your realm” I took a second to process and then piped up “and if we don't..?” I asked cautiously. The figure didn't wait for a second to respond “you will all perish”
We were all obviously startled by this. I took a breath and tried to calm myself but who was I kidding? My heart was racing out of my chest. By the time I had even calmed myself down enough to be able to think properly, the window went back to normal and the others were messing around with their weapons again. “Are you alright? You look as pale as a ghost.” I looked up to see Cozbi looking at me with great concern in his eyes. It was at this moment I realized no one else had seen what I had seen. I attempted to compose myself and fake a laugh “Yeah im fine” He didn't seem to buy it but walked away anyways.
I looked down at my stick. It was still in my hand and the orb bit was…glowing…? It was the same purple swirl I had seen in the window. My hands were shaking as I looked into the orb. The figure appeared in the sphere and I almost threw it but my hand wouldn't let go of it. It was almost like it was glued to my hand. The figure began to say something but was swiftly cut off by the racket of Jake sword fighting Azzy. Then it disappeared once again.
It was so weird. Looking around at these people who moments ago were pale as ghosts, being so happy and carefree. Mia was attempting to twirl her nunchucks but wasn't doing so hot. She was continually hitting herself whether it be in the face or on the thighs. Meanwhile, Emma seemed to be quite good at shooting a bow and arrow. She must have done archery as a kid. 
At this point, everyone seemed so at peace. Emma was now helping Mia and they weren't bickering. Mia even stopped the annoying nail on a chalkboard voice and sounded like a person. Jake walked over to me and smacked my back. It H U RT man.
“You good bro?” Jake seemed sort of worried but still chill
“Yeah im fine just rubbing my back for no reason”
“Okay Great!”
This guy- I swear “Help me up you dimwit”  I said harsher than I intended. He didn't seem hurt and he threw me on his shoulders. I got a good look at the room and it was beautiful in a super cluttered kinda way. There was oil on the ground along with a bunch of tools scattered around. There were what I presume to be half-finished weapons all over. We were in the main room and there was a door going into another room which was where Azzy came out. Then there was a staircase. I couldn't see what it lead to, but it was probably upstairs.
Mia and Emma seemed to be having fun. Emma was smiling and showing Mia how to spin nunchucks. They seemed to be having fun. Mia seemed to be getting the hang of it. Azzy and Cozbi were talking about something but Azzy was preoccupied with an axe that she was adding some things to. It was then that a girl only a bit taller than me came down the stairs.
She had this wavy brown hair that went down to her shoulders. It was the same color as Cozbis. She had these wings that were smaller than Cozbi or Azzy’s but they were still quite large. They were black with this beautiful blue. They were different than Cozbi and Azzys because theirs were red and orange. The girl had ripped jeans and a dirty t-shirt on. She was decently pretty but Jake was mesmerized. Men, am I right?
The girl walked down the stairs and went over to where Azzy and Cozbi were. Cozbi ruffled her hair and said something to the effect of “Heya kiddo!” His entire vibe changed when he was around her. Instead of being serious like he was seconds prior, he seemed so calm. So friendly.
Cozbi pointed over at the girls, who were now just chatting. And then at us. She looked at me and then at Jake. She saw Jake, being a simp. And me, on his shoulders done with everything. She started walking over to us and he threw me off of his shoulders. He was so entranced with her image that he forgot that I was still being held by him, causing me to faceplant. The girl grabbed my hand and picked me off the ground with ease. “Hey, im Lilith” Jake began to fumble over his words “hi im- well uh-” I decided to cut him off so he didn't embarrass himself anymore “Im Tomas, and that's Jake.” She shook my hand and nodded at jake.
“So how do you know my dad?” She asked us. We were both confused until I realized, her dad was probably Cozbi. “We saved him in Scifair” I responded, a bit egotistical. She thanked me and went over to talk to the girls. “Wasnt she so hot dude?” Jake said as soon as she was out of earshot. I shrugged “She was alright, not my type personally.”
“Oh come On” He started, in a winey voice “You can't tell me she wasn't the hottest thing you've ever seen” I shrugged “I donno sure man whatever floats your goat.” God, I wished Kat was here. She could have told him to shut up. Just then another girl walked down the stairs. She was about 10 years old with these tiny red wings and little stubs for horns. She looked super tired. When she got to the bottom of the stairs she ran over and hugged Lilith. Lilith picked the small girl up and twirled her around. It was admittedly super adorable.
Mia and Emma seemed to think so as well because when Lilith set the girl down they both crouched down and began to talk to her in a super sweet voice. Jake was also looking at her in awe. We both walked over to the girls and the kid started excitedly waving at us and began to introduce herself in the fastest speaking voice I had ever heard “HI IM LAKE MY PRONOUNS ARE SHE IM 9 YEARS OLD AND MY FAVORITE COLOR IS THE SUN” Emma leaned over to me and whispered “I already love this kid” I did too she was awesome.
That night we stayed at Azzy’s place. We went and found out what was upstairs too. It was 4 bedrooms. One for Cozbi, One for Azzy, and one for the girls. The other one was a guest bedroom which had 2 beds and a couch. That's where we stayed. Emma chose to sleep on the floor as Mia and Jake got the beds. I took the couch after offering it to Mia. None of us slept well. Except for Jake that is. That guy snores like my dad. Mia was using a pillow to cover her ears as was Emma but I was fine. I was used to hearing aggressive snoring. At home, my dad's room shared a wall with mine so I had to hear this every night. What I wasn't used to, however, was every time I closed my eyes I saw that figure again. It was as tall as a great oak tree and their facial features were obstructed. 
When I did finally drift off, the figure was in my dreams too. The words “you will all perish” Echoed in my head. Again and again and again. I tried to drown it out but no matter how far I tried to run or how loud I screamed it wouldn't go away. I couldn't move. It was always in my ear. Taunting me. Torturing me. The figure growing closer and closer. Then it stopped. The looping of the same sentence finally seized and I could finally breathe. The figure was still growing closer but it felt oddly calming. Like the feeling of sitting inside while a thunderstorm is right outside. 
The figure reached out a hand and began to speak “You do not need to put up with these dimwits, Tomas.” Their voice echoed and boomed like the sound of a great drum. It almost sounded fake “You are smarter than them. You may join me and together we shall-” They were cut off by Emma shaking me awake. “What the heck???” she was practically spitting on my face as she yelled. “Why were you screaming???”  I was extremely groggy when I tried to answer. “Sorry… just a bad dream” She looked at me the way your mom looks at you when you get a bad grade “mhm yeah sure whatever, just shut up”
I couldn't fall asleep after that. The voice echoed in my head. Again and again. I wanted to know what it wanted. What about me was so special that they wanted me to join? Did I even want to join? I had so many questions my mind was racing until the crack of dawn. When the sun was pouring through the windows like a flood of light and the birds were singing on a tree branch inches away from the window Azzy came up the stairs holding a spatula and wearing an apron that said “Please don't kiss the cook” She opened the door to the previously dark and dreary room that was now so pleasant to be in. “Rise and shine kiddos! Ya got a long day ahead of ya!” This puzzled us and so Mia spoke up “What do you mean?” It was odd to hear her without that annoying high-pitched voice that was the sound equivalent to stepping on a lego but I could get used to it. Azzy smiled “Well, today Coz is going to take you kids downtown to help yall figure out where you guys came from and how ya got here!” Jake was still fast asleep at this point and Azzy seemed to notice and grabbed a giant book from the shelf that was right next to the door and dropped it on the creaky wooden floorboards. The sound it made was almost louder than his snoring. He woke up right away after that.
As Azzy left the room to let us get ready I finally got a good look at it. The old wooden floors looked like something from a painting. The walls were covered in pictures of Cozbi, Lake, Lilith, and Azzy. There were some other pictures that had another man. He was taller than Cozbi and Azzy. He had a full beard and his wings were a brilliant shade of red with golden specks all throughout. In the pictures he was holding a small child I assumed to be Lilith. In another picture, I saw the man and Cozbi in a suit. It almost looked like a wedding. Do they have weddings here? That was the question as I walked downstairs to meet Azzy.
Mia broke my train of thought. “Whatcha thinking about?” I replied a little too hastily “nothing.” I don't know why I was even anxious. When we reached the bottom of the stairs Azzy took us away from the workshop into a dining room. There was a window casting a ray of sunlight into this quaint little room. The table in the middle of the room had 5 seats. Emma was sitting in one of the seats talking to cozbi who was sitting just left of her. Mia sat down on Emma’s righthand side and joined the conversation. I sat down next to Cozbi and began studying the table. There were these intricate little patterns carved into it and I couldn't quite make out what they were supposed to be. I was trying to focus on all of them at once. Finally, I figured one out. A staff! 
Just as that thought crossed my mind, Azzy put down a giant plate with Pancakes and Bacon in the middle of the table. “Dig in kiddos!” Azzy said with a wink and then disappeared off into the kitchen. I ate faster than I ever had. It felt like I had been here for a week. Time seemed to pass differently here. Now that I thought about it, walking here felt like a 10-minute walk but we had passed so much it seemed like we were walking for days. There didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the way time passed but it was treated by the locals similarly to the way we treated ours so I didn't give it much more thought.
Jake walked down the stairs and into the room. He greeted us with “morning nerds, and Mia.” I responded with “good morning Jake” He slapped me on the back and sat down between me and Mia. I started studying the table again making out more and more of the doodles.
A face, a flower, a mountain, a tree, stars, a face, a beaker, wait- hold on. A face? I started looking closer at the face. I traced my finger over it and, it looked like me. Cozbi must have seen me staring at the face. “Oh ho ho I see you've noticed it!” I jumped “uh- noticed what?”  I responded. He laughed “don't look so worried, the table simply shifts into whatever represents the person looking at it. I assume you have seen yours?” I nodded but was really confused. 1, why a table to describe what defines me? 2, how does that work? 3, This entire thing seems stupid. These questions floated around in my mind for a bit until my thought was interrupted by Azzy coming back in. “Are you all ready to go?” Cozbi slapped his knees and got up. “Yep!” he is a true dad. Emma nodded and smiled as me, Mia, and Jake looked at each other.
“Oh, we forgot to tell them!” Azzy noticed our confused faces. “We’re going to go out and try to get you all home!” Jake piped up “What about Lilith and Lake? Are we leaving them here?” Cozbi shook his head “oh no no no, the girls love a good adventure and I couldn't bear leaving them here alone without knowing when I would get back. They will come with us.” Jake did a tiny fist pump as Lake walked into the room. She ran up to Cozbi and hugged him “DAD” She screamed excitedly “yes?” He replied calmly but with the most genuine grin I have ever seen. “ARE WE GONNA GET TO FIGHT?!” She was flapping her hands in excitement. I love this kid. Lilith walked in and shook her head “sorry Lake, I don't think it's a good idea to let ya fight.” She picked up Lake and gave her a kiss on the forehead. “Awwww whyyyyy” Lake whined. Lilith gave her a look as if to say “you know” and with that, she walked with her little sister out of the dining room and upstairs, most likely to their room. “You guys probably don't have any extra clothes, do ya?” Cozbi asked. All four of us shook our heads. He went upstairs and a few minutes later came down with some clothes. “Girls, you can borrow Lilliths clothes,” he said as he handed Mia and Emma each an outfit “and you two can borrow my old things” He handed us some clothes as well”
We headed upstairs to change. Emma went to the bathroom as Jake went into the bedroom and me and Mia were left in the hallway to make dreaded small talk. “So, you having fun yet?” I started after some awkward silence. She laughed “yeah, as much as you can in this situation I guess.” Finally Jake got out of the bedroom and Mia went in and shortly after Emma got out of the bathroom where I went in.
The outfit was nice. There was a t-shirt that said “Dick Masterly, Never gonna not give you down” I laughed to myself as I put the shirt and a pair of ripped jeans on. I came out of the bathroom in my new outfit. Mia and Emma were chatting and Jake was staring off into the distance. We all walked downstairs and as the girls were chatting about who knows what I looked at Jake. He looked worried, he was fidgeting with his hands and looked lost in thought. I started asking “Hey are you alright?” But Cozbi started talking before I could finish. “Alrighty, kiddos!” He said this with a booming tone “Are you ready to get going?” We all nodded and Cozbi handed us our weapons. 
The staff was growing on me. I loved the designs on it and the orb’s color was beautiful. When I touched the orb and it began to glow again and then swirl into the purple color I had been fearing the night before. I saw the figure in the orb and I began to shake. My eyesight went foggy and my hands were practically vibrating. I didn't even notice when tears started falling down my cheeks. Why was I so afraid of this thing? 
I regained consciousness after Emma started shaking me. “What is up with you?” Jake asked me as soon as I wiped my eyes. I really didn't know. I attempted to convey that but all that came out of my mouth was “I- I don't- I can't-” and Mia just said, “It's fine, tell us while we’re walking.” I looked around for Cozbi and Emma informed me that he was already outside waiting for us. When we got outside the sun hit me like a title wave. We started walking and the others started asking me questions.
“What happened?” Asked Mia
“I’m not really sure.” I responded
“What’s with that orb?” 
“Donno.”
“Do you know anything?” Emma asked sarcastically.
“Probably not” I replied with the same tone.
Jake, Mia, and Cozbi started walking ahead and Emma turned a lot more serious. “Tomas.” She said almost commanding me. “Yeah?” She looked me in the eyes as she spoke. “I know that you know something that you aren't telling us. The screaming last night, the crying with the orb. What’s happening.” She spoke in such a tone it was hard to lie to her. I looked down at the staff and then back up at her. I told her everything that I knew. About the figure, the purple crap, them acting like everything is normal. She walked in silence until I finished. When I did she was stunned. She cleared her throat and tried to gain composer “well then…” 
I began looking at our surroundings. We were on a dirt path with forest to either side of us. The trees were tall and handsome with these beautiful pink leaves. The bark was light and the branches were strong. There were small fairies that seemed to live on some of the trees in these lanterns of all different shapes and sizes. Ahead of us, there was a hill with flowers scattered on it. A beautiful fragile rainbow mosaic of blossoms. I looked down at my feet and realized that they were tulips. They were my favorite flowers and I loved the way they looked. I smiled as I looked over the field. The others were already at the top of the hill but they stopped. Emma and I jogged to catch up to them.
When we got to the top of the hill we saw a beautiful castle. It looked like something I would have drawn as a kid. It was large and grand with a beautiful mural of a field of flowers. Looking closer it looked like a field I used to hang out in with Kat. I took my phone out of my pocket to see if maybe she responded. She didn’t however, she had read it. I tried texter her again “you there??” When I clicked send it took a second but as soon as it had been delivered, she read it. It wasn't like her to not respond so I continued to worry about her. I shoved my phone back into my pocket and looked over at the rest of them. They had stopped and they were all staring at the castle. After a few seconds, Emma piped up “Why are we here exactly?” Cozbi smiled “Well, this is the home of the master of magic and sorcery. If anyone can get you all home, she can.” We began to walk up to the front door of the castle and as we got to the entrance my phone buzzed. I grabbed it out of reflex and looked at who messaged me. It was Kat! I opened up my phone and the text read “go away.” that was odd and gave me an odd feeling in my stomach. Something weird was going on.
We walked in the huge doors of the castle and stopped. My heart sank and I couldn't pinpoint why. The entryway was beautiful with mass amounts of plants, beautiful paintings all throughout the walls, and so many majestic colors. There was a flight of stairs right in front of us and a living room to our left. There was a closed door to our right that was painted with a swirling purple pattern. I gripped tighter onto my staff and took a deep breath. Cozbi looked as if he was about to say something but before he could, the door opened with a long “creeeeeeeeak” to reveal the figure in the cloak. I took a step back as my hands began to tremble. Emma and Jake both tried to look brave but I could see the fear in their eyes. Mia gripped her nunchucks tighter with a look in her eyes that almost said “try me.” The figure pulled off their hood “I told you to go away.”
It was Kat! My body stopped shaking like a maraca for a moment. I was so relieved to see her. My mind was racing as fast as my heart was until it latched on to a thought “why was she in that robe?” She had this stone-cold look in her eyes that was unlike what I had ever seen in her before. She was generally a pretty happy outgoing person and I could count the number of times I had seen her angry on one hand and still have fingers left. She was looking first at Emma, then Jake, then Mia, and finally me. As she made eye contact with me her expression softened. She smiled and began to speak in the tone she normally did with me. “You can still join me, you know.” My mind flashed back to the nightmare. To the pure fear I had felt. I began to stammer “What are you- why are you-” She cut me off before I could finish. “Do you remember what I said, Tomas?” I shook my head and she continued “I said that I was done with that school and that world.” I thought about her text and breathed another sigh of relief remembering the panic I had felt when she said that. “I thought you had…you know,” I said not wanting to actually let the words escape my mouth. She seemed a bit stunned. I knew she would have never done anything like that but the worry had still been in my head. During this conversation, the other three began whispering to each other. Kat was extremely calm with me and it put me at ease but as soon as she saw my friends talking to each other she looked up and immediately her demeanor changed. “What are YOU talking about?” She snapped. She put so much emphasis on the word you, it was unsettling. They jumped and looked absolutely terrified. I tried to intervene “Hey, what's up?” she looked back at me with hatred in her eyes “what's up…what's up” She put so much emphasis on each word. “What's up is that your friend here” She gestured at Jake “Has made my life a living hell for the past 5 years. What up is that this one” She gestured at Mia “Hasn't shut up since the day she was born. And that one” She gestured at Emma. “...Well, she hasn't done anything wrong but you get my point. Tomas, why are you hanging out with them?”
 I looked at these people who even though I practically just met them, it feels as if we’d been friends forever. I look at my friend who I had known for a lifetime and it feels as if I didn't know her at all. The look on Kat’s face was unlike anything I had ever seen before. She was normally so chipper but now she seemed like a shell of herself. She had this insane look in her eyes. She was staring right at Jake. Kat put her hand into her pocket and uddered “I will make you suffer as I have.” Those words made my heart drop. She pulled out a dagger from her pocket and began to charge at Jake. The dagger grazed his arm but didn't full-on stab him. He took out his sword from its shieth and pointed it at her. Emma readied her bow and Mia readied her nunchucks.

Batfam with S/O Who Sends Weird Texts in the Middle of the Night HC (Request)
Dick Grayson:
Is the one who gets the most sleep out of the entire family
So at this point any hour of the night can be considered unreasonable
He sleeps with his ringer on for most every night in case there’s an emergency since this dude sleeps like a rock, a simple vibration won’t cut it
So when you text, he gets it
i just want to say that Dick has customized ringtones for everyone and so when one goes off he knows who it is
This means that there’s either an emergency orrrr it’s something really random
Most of the time it’s something really random
Is the kind of person to either respond with something that keeps the conversation going or just an lol or idk man
Doesn’t limit himself with responses but sometimes wonders about your sanity
It’s like you plan these things and frankly it can get annoying but sometimes he just has to stare at his phone and contemplate what you sent
Is the bitch to call and ask questions and sometimes you expect it and burst out laughing when he calls and other times you’re like NO DON’T CALL ME
Jason Todd:
He tries to sleep but sometimes it just doesn’t happen
Most of the time, he’s at your place hanging out and you just will randomly say something that makes him double take
Like what did you just say…. I’m going to ignore that
If you ever text him, he just has a habit of replying no matter what
Doesn’t leave you on read but has thought about it before
Is the kind of person to sometimes jump in and add to things and then it becomes a four hour long conversation
Otherwise it’s just an “okayyyy babe time to go to bed now.”
Part of it is that he’s super busy and just knows that the two of you are sleep deprived and when you start with the random shit, it’s time to sleep
Tim Drake:
The two of you will have conspiracy theory conversations for hours
If something weird comes up in a text message he catches it and immediately is like okay hold on, I’m going to add to this
This man will jump right onto anything
Movies, tv shows, shower thoughts, government conspiracies, and all of the above
Will sometimes get on the phone and just talk for hours on FaceTime or whatever
If he thinks or knows that you won’t like that, he’ll just text you
Sometimes he’s the one that texts you during the weirdest hours of the night since he’s always awake
always awake
And sometimes his coffee makes his brain go alive mode
You get the weirdest texts and so does he
Damian Wayne:
Has the best sleep schedule besides Dick
he is however the kind of person to either text, go to sleep beloved, sometimes make a comment, or leave you on read
It’s not that he’s trying to be rude, he’s just exhausted and wants to sleep
He will however text you in the morning about it
That’s appreciated but sometimes he’s so thrown off that he just has to respond
Brain buffering like no other
Just has to take a moment to process everything that has just been offered
will start interesting conversations about history or a tv show or book that you two have been enjoying
Makes sure to keep it relevant
Luke:
Won’t leave you on read but sometimes thinks about it
Has a limit to midnight and won’t answer conspiracy or shower thoughts past then unless it’s something very interesting or weird
Text arguments over something stupid
Is a very busy man but always prioritizes you
Will answer later on rare basis
Sometimes shower thoughts from the internet
If there’s a problem that he needs solved, he’ll text you sometimes in the weirdest hours of the night
Or just randomly in the middle of the afternoon
If anything that you send pertains to his work, he’ll answers immediately
Duke:
The most like Tim
A mix of a mother hen and also a feeder of the fire
Sometimes he just has to respond cause like
Yes water is wet
No the dress is gold and white
What are you talking about blue?
Starts weird conversations
Never leaves you on read and won’t think about it
Sometimes sleeps through your messages since he works through the day
Hard sleeper and can’t help that some messages don’t get read till he wakes up

Hello~ Can I request a Mark x fem reader who’s a lot like starfire and is very Powerful close to omni man and is also an alien princess but she lives on earth and they go to the same school and she’s also a solo hero who one day sees invincible fighting off a tough villain with the teenteam but is losing so she steps in to help and he recognizes her and starts getting all nervous since he has a crush on her and then after that they introduce themselves get to know each other and eventually work they’re way up to mark confessing and she says yes :3
(If possible can it be a slow burn im a sucker for slow burn tropes and stuff 😤)
A/N: I gotchu, this bout to be a lil long 😮‍💨 making the fem!reader a little more human, figured since she’s in an actual school for humans she’d need to adapt to the humor/culture so she doesn’t get suspicious
Pairing: Mark Grayson x Fem!Reader
Rating: M, some swearing and gross monster guts
Warnings: N/A
Summary: Mark is finally joined in battle by an alien princess who has caught his attention. Turns out she goes to the same high school, and if he can throw around 150-pound monsters across the street, surely he can confess his true feelings to a girl... right?
"Are you fucking kidding me right now?!" Rex Splode yelled as he wobbled up off the ground. "We've been on this thing for hours and it only has one damn cut!"
"Calm down Rex," Atom Eve said from behind, "You're gonna get even more tired from yelling."
The two watched as Dupli-Kate attempted to distract the scaly kaiju, replicating herself second after second to give space for Invincible to hit the monster by surprise. The kaiju's screech echoed throughout the city and shook the foundations of the surrounding buildings, forcing Rex, Atom Eve and Robot to move aside and save however many civilians they could.
"Invincible," Dupli-Kate shouted, "I can't keep up much longer!"
A sonic boom overcame the surrounding noise and Invincible appeared from the clouds. Dropping in at maximum speed, the young superhero balled his hand into a fist and took a deep breath. A loud battle cry escaped his mouth but it was cut short as the kaiju's heavy arm slapped him away just in time, throwing him through destroyed buildings until he landed on the pavement.
Out of breath, dizzy, and in a serious amount of pain, Invincible laid on the broken road for a second to regain his strength. The wind softly blew down on him as he focused his sight on a contrail leading towards him, and he watched as a girl in purple land right next to him.
She bent down and held him upright, "Invincible, are you okay?"
"Mmhmm," Invincible croaked with a defeated smile, "Totally fine."
His sight reverted back to normal and the first face he saw shocked him alive. It was her. They never talked in school and he was almost sure she didn't know his real name, but here she was, basically cradling him in her arms and calling him Invincible.
So she knows who I am. At least with the suit.
"Come on, that kaiju is about to be destroy the entire city," she said, helping him get back on his feet and flying away to the seemingly unbeatable figure.
He huffed, "Stay cool, Mark. She's here to help," and he followed suit.
This marked the first time he really interacted with the new superhero; he'd only ever see her on TV or read about how she saved people on the newspaper. He'd be lying if he said he didn't find her attractive — as do most guys his age — but watching her blast the kaiju with the green bursts of energy from her hands made her only even more appealing.
Invincible regrouped with the rest of the Teen Team. "I don't know what else we can do to this thing," Atom Eve admitted.
"I do," the girl spoke up. "Distract it as best as you can but stay far away from the stomach. When I tell you to take cover, make a run for it."
Robot replied, "That seems highly dangerous."
"Let's do it," Invincible quickly replied in a high-pitched voice.
Everyone looked over at him, surprised at the sudden change in his voice and just how fast he reacted in agreement. 
"Uh, it's a good plan," he nodded, causing the girl to shoot a warm smile his way. "I definitely think we should do it... if all of you... uh, think, we should."
Exhausted and out of options, the rest of the group followed her orders and took different corners of the monster. Dupli-Kate handled one leg, Rex Splode handled the other, Robot and Atom Eve took the arms, and Invincible went back to the head. The kaiju struggled to keep its focus on just one of the heroes, and while it remained preoccupied, the girl absorbed all the energy she could muster and flew straight for the stomach.
"Take cover, now!"
Invincible and the Teen Team moved away and they watched as the flying hero's eyes opened in a bright shade of neon green, both her arms extended out as a large ball of green formed around her hands. The rays exploded right through the kaiju and it shrieked in pain as she briefly disappeared into the stomach. The kaiju lost balance and slowly fell forward as the girl, her eyes still green, appeared on the other side and harshly fell down on the ground.
The kaiju landed on the street with a loud boom and the group ran towards the girl who was now covered in parts of the kaiju's digestive system.
"Okay, that's kinda gross," Rex Splode commented, to which Dupli-Kate quickly responded, "Shut up."
Invincible dropped down on his knees and wiped the blood and guts off her face. Subtly admiring her facial features up close, he couldn't believe (and almost felt stupid) that he never recognized her despite the fact that he almost saw her everyday.
The girl groaned in agony softly shook her head, her eyes fluttering open to the sight of Invincible's dark hair, goggles and yellow mask.
"Hey, hey," he whispered, "Are you alright?"
She sat up and hissed at her injuries, holding her head with her bloody hand. "Mmhmm," she gently nodded with a half smile, her eye one still shut. "Totally fine."
---
Mark had a hard time focusing on school. His body ached from yesterday's injuries and he suffered a few bruises from literally tearing through buildings. He made his way to his locker and rested his head on the metal door, dreading the fact that he still has an entire afternoon of classes to go. Closing his eyes in hopes to quickly recharge, his moment of peace was disrupted when a shoulder rammed into his chest and several books landed right on his toe.
"Oh god, I'm so sorry," a voice exclaimed.
Mark's head snapped up at the sound of the voice. It's her. He momentarily froze and watched the girl bend down to pick up her things, and when he finally regained movement a split second later, he also bent down to help her out. He kept quiet as he tried to think of the coolest possible response to make her think that he was actually the coolest guy in school, but all he could think of was how heavenly and badass she looked yesterday.
"Thanks," she said as he handed her the book. "I hope your foot doesn't bruise."
They both stood up and he shot her a nervous smile. "T-totally fine," he replied, clearing his throat afterwards.
She crossed her brows at his response and nodded, and a look of suspicion replaced her worried demeanor.
"I'm Mark, by the way," he cleared his throat again and reached out his hand, "Grayson."
"Mark... Grayson, huh?" she responded, scanning his face as her suspicion grew. Her eyes finally landed on the hand that was waiting, and she took one last look into his eyes before deciding to shake it. "I'm Y/N," she introduced herself with a skeptical smile, feeling his sweaty palm wrapped around hers. "I'll see you around, Mark Grayson."
She walked away and Mark's eyes followed her trail as far as he could see. He quickly pulled out his phone to send a text to Eve, who was actually watching their interaction a few classrooms down.
"Mark," Eve called out as she moved towards him. “So I’m assuming...”
"You knew?” he asked her in disbelief. “Why didn't you tell me Y/N was a superhero? I just introduced myself to her as Mark Grayson and I'm almost positive she knows I'm Invincible."
"First off, it's not my secret tell," she answered with a shrug. "Second, you guys didn’t trade secrets or whatever?”
Mark shook his head in a panic, "No, but I'm guessing she also knows that I know her secret the same way I know she knows my secret." He rested his forehead on the locker door once again and groaned, "Ugh, I'm so into her, it isn't even funny. And this whole superhero thing just made it even more awkward."
Eve laughed, "Look, I'm not going to force her to tell you if she isn't up for it, but if you want, I can ask her to hang out with us later. Maybe — emphasis on maybe — my presence will make her comfortable enough to admit who she is."
"Okay, okay," he sighed, turning around to rest the back of his head. "My insides are dying."
"After the kaiju yesterday, be thankful you don't mean that in a literal sense."
---
Where in the hell is Eve?
Mark pulled out his phone for the third time in 10 minutes. Still no call or response from Eve to his text. He was getting evidently nervous; his palms were sweaty again and it felt like someone turned up the heat in Burger Mart. His left leg jerked up and down in anxiety as he stared at his phone, looking at the seconds on the clock icon tick by. If he were left alone with Y/N, he'd have no idea what to say. What does she like? Should I bring up the kaiju yesterday and praise Invincible? No, she'll just think I'm full of myself.
"Hey Mark."
He jolted and saw Y/N standing by the corner of the booth. "Hi!" he replied in that irritatingly high-pitched voice. Mark's heart began to race and the thoughts in his head ran wild. "Um... Have a seat. Sorry Eve isn't here yet, she actually hasn't answered my calls or my messages. Teenage girls, huh? What can you do?"
She crossed her brows again and chuckled, "That's fine, we can wait for Eve. But I think I'm more concerned about you."
"What do you mean?"
Y/N chuckled again, "You seem... nervous.”
He faked an obnoxiously loud laugh, “Me? Nervous?”
She watched him from across the table in silence, waiting for him to regain his composure.
When Mark couldn’t hear Y/N laughing with him, he finally shut up and shook his head. “Yeah, I am nervous, sorry,” he admitted, shutting his eyes tight. 
She giggled, “Totally fine.”
Hearing her say those two words calmed his racing heartbeat. A smile crept on his face and she reciprocated, their eyes locking for a few seconds before both their phones buzzed.
“Oh, I just got a text from Eve,” Mark said. 
“Me too.” She opened the message and began to read it out loud, “Sorry, can’t make it tonight. Something came up.”
“Have fun, you two,” he followed, his voice faltering. He placed his phone, screen down this time, back on the table and sighed, “Sorry, guess you’re stuck with me. That is, if you do want to stay and... hang out, and stuff.”
"Why wouldn’t I?” she replied, her warm smile easing Mark back into a relaxed state. “It’s nice to have a friend who...” she trailed off, “understands.”
“Understands what?” he asked.
“This thing people like us call life,” she answered. “You know, it took me a long time to acclimate here. I didn’t think I ever would, then I met friends who made this place feel like home. And home is a feeling I hadn’t felt in a really long time.”
Mark rested his elbows on the table and leaned in closer, “Well, I’m always here. You know, a-as a friend... or an acquaintance, even. I don’t, I don’t want to push it.”
Y/N giggled again, “You’re a funny man, Mark Grayson. This planet is lucky to have someone like you.” She reached out and held his hand, “And I’m even luckier to have you as a friend, or an acquaintance.” 
He felt the heat rush to his face and he could swear his heart nearly jumped out of his chest. The afternoon flew by in a hurry as they engaged in lengthy conversations, fatty fast food, and childhood stories. While Mark was open to sharing every tiny detail — down to the color of the bleachers at the park where he played little league — Y/N kept hers pretty vague, leaving out descriptions of family members and even the places where these stories happened. 
Mark’s phone buzzed again, but the vibrating pattern indicated it was a phone call. He turned the screen over and saw the unknown number; it was time to suit up.
“Shit, I’m sorry Y/N, but I need to go,” he said in a rush. “I have a... uh, an emergency.”
You couldn’t have thought of anything more specific?
“It’s cool. Um, don’t worry about it,” she said, shaking her head with her eyes glued to the vibrating phone. 
Mark’s one leg was already out the booth before he decided to finally just go for it. Sitting back down with his now quiet phone in his hands, he took a deep breath.
“Y/N, I think you’re really cool. Can I maybe, like, call you sometime, or something?”
Her lips formed into smile that extended to her eyes, and it was enough for Mark to melt a little. “Of course. Yeah, sure,” she replied in excitement and typed down her number on his phone. She handed it back, “Now you know how to reach me if you’re getting your ass whooped again.”
His mouth fell open as his shaky hands grabbed his phone. “Wait—”
She smoothly slid out of the booth, “See you later, Invincible,” she winked, “Don’t get killed today.”
---
Luckily for Mark, no one got killed today. Maybe a few wounds here and there, but nothing painful enough that will land him in the GDA hospital. After spending an hour in the shower, he finally managed to lie down on his bed and rest his body. He sank into the mattress and closed his eyes, taking in the seconds of undisturbed peace that have become rare moments since he got his powers. 
As he replayed the events of today’s fights in his head, his mind drifted off to the hours he spent with Y/N. He pulled out his phone and mustered the courage to press the dial button, and the repeating sound of the ringing was making his pulse race. 
“Hello?”
“Oh good, you didn’t die today.”
Mark chuckled and sandwiched his hand between his head and the pillow. “It wasn’t that bad today, just took a few hits,” he explained. “So listen, Y/N, I was wondering, uh—”
She cut him off, “What are you doing right now?”
“What?”
“What are you doing right now?” she repeated.
“Um, nothing, just getting some rest” he sat up and looked around. “Why?”
“If you’re not too tired, do you maybe...”
Mark smiled, “Maybe...?”
“I don’t know, sneak out? My roof is pretty comfortable.”
Silently fist pumping, he fully stood up and nodded, “Text me the address.”
Just as quietly as he exited his room via the window, he softly landed on Y/N’s roof. Swiftly flying up and greeting him, she took the place next to him and crossed her legs. 
“You’re right, your roof is pretty comfortable,” Mark said.
She chuckled at his remark then noticed a gash by his right temple. Her brows furrowed in worry, “You have a wound,” she said, making sure not to touch it.
“Don’t worry about it,” he replied, softly holding her hand and placing it back down with his. “Totally fine.”
Those words brought her some sense of comfort as her eyes softened, causing her to unconsciously squeeze his hand. Mark’s eyes widened and he looked down at their tangled fingers, frozen for a moment.
“Is this... okay with you?” he asked.
She nodded. “Wanna lie down? Since my roof is so comfortable?” she asked with a smirk.
“Sure,” Mark chuckled, removing his hand from her’s and stretching his arm out as they lied down. Y/N rested her head on his shoulder, keeping her eyes up at the stars.
“Hey Mark?”
“Yeah?”
A moment of silence.
“Thank you for coming.”
He looked down at her as she met his eyes, “You’re welcome.” 
The two shared a smile, and Mark took a deep breath as he prepared himself for the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
It’s now or never, Mark. Now or never.
“Watching you kick ass yesterday was... really a sight to see,” he began. “You’re powerful and strong, but more importantly, brave. And you’re so fucking beautiful and kind and smart and...” Mark trailed off, sighing, “I never thought I would be in this position — with you next to me in a very comfortable rooftop under the stars.”
“Mark...”
“And I really like you. Like, really, really like you.”
“Mark.”
“It’s okay if you don’t feel the same way, but I just wanted to let you know. It’s important that you know—”
“Mark,” she cut him off. “I like you too. A lot.”
He breathed a sigh of relief and covered his eyes with his free hand. “Oh thank god. Thank god!” he exclaimed.
Y/N shushed him, “You’re gonna wake up the neighborhood, Invincible.”
“Sorry,” he giggled quietly, “I got excited.”
She laughed and faced her body towards him. They locked eyes again, and Mark didn’t know if it was gravity or just the adrenaline that pushed him, but he finally leaned down and met her lips. Static ran through his body as he deepened the kiss, and he felt an excitement that was even more exhilarating than the first time he flew.
She pulled away and Mark ran his hand through her hair, resting his hand on her cheek. “How was that?” he asked.
She smiled gently and placed her hand over his, “Totally fine.”

Waiting Game |Topper Thornton Imagine|
SUMMARY: Rafe knew all along that Top and Y/N we’re more than just friends, too bad Topper ruined it
PAIRING: topper x y/n
WARNINGS: swearing, topper being a flakey dick, sexual jokes. maybe a part one of a part two?? Who knows
REQUESTED: yes!! who knew so many people like top! thanks lovely for the request. requests are open💕
Tumblr media
“Bro-you’re fucking blind. She’s head over heels for you. It’s honestly kind of pathetic.”
Rafe told his friend as they watched the girl go up to grab them ice cream from the counter, looking back to throw her friends a small smile.
Y/N was the third member to the chaotic trio that was Rafe, Topper, and Y/N. If Y/N wasnt bailing their asses out of trouble, it wouldn’t be a normal summer.
Rafe and Y/N had always been close. Just not as close as the other two, but the Cameron boy was smart enough to catch the stolen glances Y/N took of Topper. Even though he was too stupid to see and too ignorant to realize he liked her back.
“At least get your dick wet or something man. It’s killing me.”
Rafe was dramatically acting out getting shot in the head, pushing Top’s shoulder. The younger boy just denied the truth in front of him and told Rafe to fuck off.
Rafe did this every time Y/N smiled at Top or even offered to pick him up his favorite takeout on the way home. Or when she told him to drive safe.
“You know you can just be friends with girls, right?”
“Not her though, you guys are destined to end up together.”
Rafe’s advice went unfulfilled as Topper perused something with Sarah. Rafe had been absolutely disgusted from the start and told Topper to never talk about his sex life with him ever again. And as for Y/N she had been upset to hear the news, hoping that it was all just a bad joke.
But much to Y/N’s luck. Their relationship ended just about as quick as it had started. Burning to flames relatively quickly in the three months they had spent together.
“I’m so done being sad over this-this girl. Look at her, already off with her new boyfriend.”
Topper spat, showing Y/N the picture she had posted of her and John B on Instagram. The girl just rolled her eyes and told him that he was overreacting, they would’ve never worked out in the first place. Anyone could’ve told him that, and Rafe had actually tried to tell him.
“Trust me, I live with the bitch.” Had been Rafe’s exact words, followed by a laugh from Y/N.
There wasn’t anything particularly wrong with the girl, but she didn’t look at him like Y/N did. Even Sarah had known of the girls feelings. Apologizing to her when Topper had asked the blonde to Midsummers and not her.
But she was stuck in the friend zone and would be fine staying there as long as she got to be in his life somehow. He was an extraordinary person who spread love and positivity everywhere he went.
He made her a better person.
“Listen, screw that. Let’s go to the restaurant I had reserved for Valentine’s Day. It will be my treat.”
Topper offered up the date like no big deal and Y/N knew that she was reading too much into it. Even though they would be hanging out on February 14th, it didn’t mean that is would be a romantic date at all. Or so Y/N tried to convince herself in the moment.
She had helped Topper plan this romantic dinner, in a restaurant on the water front to impress Sarah. But the couple had broken up before making it to their first Valentine’s Day.
“Deal, it’s a date.”
y/n🦞: how close are you?
y/n🦞: should I cancel the reservations?
y/n🦞: are you okay?
y/n🦞: top plz respond im really worried
The texts appeared on his phone as soon as he turned his phone on, pulling into the parking lot. Y/N had the violent urge to key the side of his ugly ass Jeep.
“Sorry, my phone was turned off and I had to go take Sarah home from this party. It was absolutely insane how drunk she was.”
Topper went off to describe how when he had picked her up he had been roped into a game of pong. Resulting in him being two hours late. While he was playing pong, Y/N had been sitting outside of the resturaunt waiting for him.
He took notice of the nice dress that she had worn and the fact that her makeup was done. Sitting on the bench outside the front door.
“I waited for you, Top.” Y/N exclaimed, frustrated with tears welling up in her eyes. Topper took notice and started to panic. Not wanting to see her cry, it would break his heart.
“I’m sorry, Y/N. But I wasn’t even that late.” He was confused by the over reaction. He had been late other times, but this was the first time she had reacted like this.
“No, Topper. I waited for you. I waited while you dated Sarah. I waited while you went off to some party to take her home. I’m done waiting for you. It’s stupid and useless.”
“I didn’t-I,” Topper stuttered while the girl had practically confessed her feelings in front of him. He could tell her had fucked up big time when she stood up from the bench and approached him.
“Just don’t ever speak to me again.”
And with that Y/N figured she would be better over walking home and never looking back. She was tired of being second best to Sarah, or anyone. She wanted someone who appreciated her enough to be on time and not play with her feelings.
“Shit!” Topper yelled. Throwing his phone onto the ground in sudden rage. Watching her leave, he knew that she would never want to forgive him, but he would die trying. He could imagine her not being in his life. Suddenly, wishing that he had just listened to Rafe from the beginning.

Haikyu boys when they take a joke/prank too far (Iwaizumi,Daichi)
Tumblr media
Word count: 1.9K
Genre:angst,fluff
AN: In the spirit of April Fools I tried to make my first work based on that I hope you enjoy!! (LOL I can’t actually believe this was the first thing I’ve ever written)
Tumblr media
Iwaizumi:
“Okay so it’s April Fools Day who are we going to prank?” asked Makki “One of the first years?”
“Do we have to prank someone this year..” replied Iwaizumi “so childish”
“Iwa-Chan!” Oikawa said “Don’t be such a spoil sport.”
“Anyways, it can’t be a first year they’re boring to prank a first year coach will be mad at us, we need someone else.”
Just then, you enter the gym, catching their eye as you approach the group sitting on Iwaizumi’s lap “Hey babe, I can still come over to yours to study right?” you ask.
“Yeah of course, practice finishes early so I'll be there before you.” He said
“Alright, see you then bye babe, bye guys” you said, giving Iwaizumi a kiss on the cheek sauntering off and waving at Makki, Mattsun and Oikawa.
“bye Y/N!” They teasingly responded in unison making you laugh.
As they watched you leave, it seemed as if a lightbulb pinged off in all of their heads (besides Iwaizumi) realizing who would be a great person to prank.  
After a lot of convincing, they finally got Iwaizumi in on the ‘harmless’ plan, all they needed to do now is wait on your arrival.
You’re finally done with school after a long and tiring day of exams upon exams and wanting nothing more than to cuddle with your boyfriend (after he teaches you Pythagoras theorem of course.) You did think he was acting weird when you met him this morning in the gym and throughout break and lunch but you just concluded that it was because he was having an ‘off’ day.
You reached his house and used a copy of his key that he gave you to enter we just enter houses up in this bitch  calling out his name “Zumi-babe, I'm here...”  
“Lets get this shit over with” you said tiredly
Upon entering, you notice none of the lights being on or curtains drawn ‘odd’ you think. You go upstairs going straight to his room hopefully to find your boyfriend in his bed or on his Xbox or something. To your surprise his bedroom door was somehow locked shut (even though not having a lock on his door anyways.) Suddenly, you hear creaks slowly trailing up the stairs and an eerie feeling surrounds you... now you start to feel pretty panicked jiggling the door handle to Iwaizumi’s door as it’s practically the only place you can go.
AN: I hate what I’m writing rn but onwards we right
The footsteps on the stairs start to quicken, and you almost certain that you felt something brush pass your shoulder only adding onto the panic and anxiety that you already feel. Ok, the footsteps on the stairs are basically right near you, so doing the only logical thing you can do you body slam the ‘person’ on the stairs as you motherfuckin should  as tears fill your eyes and you pick up bag bolting through the front door, slamming it shut now in full tears and shakingly scared.
You look behind you and see Iwaizumi’s front door re-open and out comes the ‘iNFaMouS sEiJOh fOuR’ in tears... of laughter. It seems that the boys were in laughing fits that their prank ‘payed off’ getting a reaction out of you. You couldn’t see Iwaizumi’s reaction, but you didn’t care you were hurt, annoyed and wanting to get into your bed.
Once you get home, you decide to block your so called ‘friends’ who decided to make you scared shitless and ignored Iwaizumi’s messages asking “where were you today”.... the AUDACITY.  
The next day, the boy’s seemed to realize the consequences of their actions after spending the whole day trying to get your attention only to be straight up ignored. Iwaizumi is immensely regretful after all his efforts to try talking to you were denied, he decided after his practice he was going to get you to talk to him or at least get you to listen to his apologies on what happened yesterday evening.
You left your clubroom and made your way to the school gate to go home.
“Y/N!” shouted Iwaizumi touching your shoulder making you flinch ‘wow did we really scare her that bad?”  
“What do you want iwa?” You asked very agitated
“Y/N I just want to apologize for yesterday, since it was April fools day and all the boys really wanted to prank someone and I-it just happened to be-”
“It just happened to be me. Right?” you interrupted “Gosh Iwaizumi, I was really scared.. I already had a tiring day and all I wanted was my boyfriend to teach me the stupid Pythagoras Theorem and cuddle me afterwards, but no you and your friends just had to be dicks for a day” you turn around planning to walk away before he grabs you again  
“Wait! Just wait y/n, im sorry and I wont ever prank you like that again” he pleaded
“.. and i’ll help you study?” he added pulling the sweetest face of all time to try and convince you  
“ugh, fine stop pulling that face... and you better teach me Pythagoras Theorem” you said rolling your eyes
“yeah yeah whatever you say y/n” he said pulling you under his arm and walking in the direction of his house.
A/N: WOW I DID NOT like the way this turned out but its my first official thing that I wrote hopefully HOPEFULLY MY WORK IMPROVES (I THINK IT WILL) SO please join me on this ‘ride’ in improving my work  
Tumblr media
Daichi:
You decided this morning that you were NOT going to participate in your annual April Day Fool’s prank with Tanaka and Noya... only because of your not-so new boyfriend Daichi saying he didn’t need his teammates corrupting you any longer so you decided to not get involved. With that being said you wouldn’t even think of your boyfriend pulling a prank on you so you didn’t think you’re getting pranked today.
In the gym, the boys were doing the usual: Hinata and Kageyama running after eachother, Tanaka and Noya oogling Kiyoko, Tsukishima listening to music, Yama and Yachi going over club schedules whilst Daichi sat with Sugawara and Asahi.
“So are you pranking anyone today?” sugawara asked
“Pranking someone, isn’t that a bit too juvenile suga?” Asahi replied
“Not you silly, Daichi” said sugawara “With Y/N on his arm they always have to stay on eachothers toes right..she’s a ‘jokester’ right?”
“...right?” Daichi hadn’t thought of it that way, he did know of all your joking escapades before you even got together and how you still liked to joke around now as you date.. He didn’t want you to think that you thought he was too boring for you ?
“Ok. What type of prank should I pull on her..”
Daichi, Sugawara and Asahi (who didn’t really contribute to Suga’s scheming) made a plan for you to meet him at the gym locker with the claims that he had a ‘surprise’ for you .. oh how he was wrong.
Daichi: meet me at the gym locker I have something to show you  
Y/N: Ok!! I’ll be there in 5 minutes
Daichi was nervous, and that was an understatement he didn’t want things to go left and have you thinking he couldn’t even do a simple prank. Once you got there, he saw heard you talking to Sugawara and Asahi outside the door about him wondering where he was in which Suga told you inside the locker room.
“Hey babe” you greeted “what's the occasion in why we’re in here?”
“I...uh..um I need to get something one second” Daichi spoke quickly and rushed out the room closing the door leaving you confused. Minutes passed, and you were now impatient and kinda scared since the room was dusty, dark and cold definitely not your place to be in. You tried texting Daichi but just your luck you have no service ://  
As time went on you tried opening the door but it was jammed shut no hope opening at all you forgot you left your bag outside which of course had your inhaler which did not help the sudden shortness of breath you started to get because of your asthma and claustrophobia. All you wanted was to get out of this room and talk to … Daichi.
Daichi. How convenient that he manage to slip away before the door got closed hmm but he wouldn’t intentionally prank you after ALL the lectures he gave you about not doing pranks this year right?
You didn’t notice how you started to cry and whimper wanting to leave.
On the outside, Daichi heard your cries and ordered Sugawara and Asahi to find the key to immediately get you out which it seems to take a while because Daichi has now stopped hearing your tears making him gulp in fear thinking something bad has happened to you in there.
Sugawara comes to you handing Daichi the keys, his handing shaking as he tries to unlock the door when he eventually does he finds you passed out on the ground of the dusty storage room. Very cliché I know ://
You wake up in the Nurses Office a bit confused on how you got there until your eyes land upon Daichi, remembering how you locked you in the Storage room where you had an asthma attack and passed out. You turned your body away from Daichi not wanting to talk to him right now after the hypocrisy he did.
“Y/N.. Are you alright?” He asked
“Do I look alright?” You responded in a bored tone
“I am really sorry Y/N... I know what I said to you about not doing pranks this year but Sugawara roped me into this and I didn’t want you to think I was too boring for you so I thought doing this prank would make you see me in a different light” he said
“yeah i saw you in a different light alright” you sassed, you then realised what he said ‘too boring’ kind of feeling less mad and more sad that he feels this way “Dai, you’d never be to boring for me … you’re one of the most funness is that a word? guys I've ever met.”
“really?” he asked  
“Of course! I’m kind of still mad at you for letting this happen but I do sort of understand why” you said giving him a hug.
You were eventually cleared to go home and as you left the clinic you saw Asahi and Sugawara standing at the door.  
“Y/N WE’RE SORRY” they bowed to you waiting on your responses
You chuckled slightly at their cuteness and ruffled both of their hair “all is forgiven, just make sure there’s ‘pranks’ this year “
Which they agreed upon.  
A/N: WOW I DID NOT like the way these turned out but its my first official thing that I wrote hopefully HOPEFULLY MY WORK IMPROVES (I THINK IT WILL) SO please join me on this ‘ride’ in improving my work. Feedback is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED and request too since I will literally write whatever...
I may do a part 2 … any particular characters people want?

secretive (shane madej x reader)
requested by anon “Could you do a Shane Madej x reader where he thinks the reader is cheating on him with Ryan. Like they whisper things to eachother and stop when Shane enters the room, they text all the time and hang out without Shane a lot. He ends up snapping at the reader about it but it turns out they were actually planning a suprise for him.”
summary shane madej has never been an insecure guy. but when it comes to you, that side can come out to play.
Tumblr media
gif cred belongs to @ryanbergara​
shane was rarely insecure. he had learned to become proud of who he is, lanky limbs and all. but of course, there was the occasional slip up--especially when it came to you.
when shane first met you, he was smitten. your dorky personality, stunning beauty, and unrelenting kindness drew him into you instantly, and he chased that feeling to the ends of the earth. and now, almost a year and a half into your relationship, he could honestly say that he has never been happier.
but of course, those pesky insecurities come out to play sometimes.
shane had volunteered to do coffee run that morning before filming unsolved. when he came back to the office where he had left you both, he saw you two sitting unbearably close at the desk, talking and smiling and ignoring everyone else in the room setting up for the shoot.
trying his best to brush it off, he entered the office and gave you both a smile. “caffeine time?”
you leaned away from ryan, clapping excitedly. “caffeine time!”
he gave a wide grin at your cheeriness and grabby hands, handing you the order he had memorized on your first date. 
you stood up from the desk and giggled, “you can have your seat back. i gotta get back to work.”
“alright, have fun,” shane smiled. you gave him a quick kiss before skipping off to your workplace. after shane settled in his seat with his coffee, he said to ryan as casually as he could, “what were the whispers about?”
ryan gave him an entirely unconvincing confused look. “what whispers?”
“between you and y/n,” shane explained, motioning to the door you had just exited through.
“i don’t know what you’re talking about,” ryan said, shaking his head at shane. before shane could press any further, you came back into the office.
“sorry,” you giggled. “forgot my phone.” you snatched off of the small table and then pointed to ryan with a serious expression. “text me, bergara.” and then you left, just as quickly as you had come.
ryan looked up from his prepared manila folder to the camera crew, not daring to glance at the unintentionally glaring shane, and spoke, “are we ready to roll?”
..
“who are you texting?” shane teased when he entered the living room to see you curled up, smiling at your phone.
“just ryan,” you shrugged. that didn’t sit right with shane.
“you two seem awfully close lately,” shane tried to comment nonchalantly. but if he implicated that anything was wrong in his tone, you didn’t notice. you just giggled as your phone buzzed with another text. shane took a sip of his tea with a frown.
after a while of smiling at your phone, you moved over to cuddle with shane as he watched a show on netflix.
you placed a kiss on his cheek as you draped yourself over him. “i love you.”
that did lighten his heart a bit. “i love you, too.”
..
ryan and shane got lunch together many days of the week. then he would come back to the office, pay you a visit in yours, and get back to work. but today, ryan had a different idea in mind.
“why don’t we eat with y/n today?” the shorter man proposed. that unsettled shane a bit. supernatural beings were nothing to him, but a guy taking invested interest in his girl friend as of late? that rattled him.
shane excused, “she’s usually busy during our lunch.. but we can check.” he shrugged. “no harm in that.” and though his thoughts betrayed his words, he led the way to your office.
you were on the phone when shane peeked in. you waved him in as you spoke, “it’s alright, lea.” you tapped your pencil against your desk as the boys filtered in. “yeah, just send it and we can edit and complete. it’s no problem. just relax and enjoy a day off, girl. of course. see you.” you hung up and gave the boys a smile.
“what was that about?” shane asked, coming closer to your desk to give you a quick kiss.
“was that the girl who hasn’t shown up for the past few days?” ryan asked, taking the seat across from your desk.
“yes,” you groaned. “im trying to be patient with her, she’s using some sick days so i can’t really get on her, but did she have to take off in the middle of this project?” you let out a huff.
shane was slightly bothered that ryan knew more about this than he did. but instead, he asked, “would it comfort you at all if we had lunch with you today? or is this girl taking up your schedule?”
you grasped his hand in yours. “please have lunch with me.” you reached out your hand to ryan, who laughed as he took it. you squeezed both of their hands, though shane’s lips were now tightly pursed. “this morning has been insane.”
“we got you,” ryan nodded with a grin that you returned sweetly. when you looked up at shane, he quickly changed his expression into a grin. he felt his jealousy rising second by second during the entire lunch.
..
shane had just walked into the breakroom to see you and ryan laughing as you poured yourself a cup of tea. “that’s actually not a bad idea, bergara. where’d you come up with that one?”
“i’ve got so much in this noggin, you don’t even know, l/n,” ryan responded easily, making you laugh again. shane still hadn’t been noticed, but he felt as if his heart was beating so loud that he surely would be.
“but yeah, shane stays late every thursday,” you continued, “so if you came over right after work, we should be able to get it all done and shane wouldn’t even know!”
“im a genius,” ryan praised.
“that you are,” you agreed, holding your cup out. he clinked his water bottle against it and you both turned to the door. shane was long gone.
..
you had stayed a little bit late that day, and so shane was stuck pacing your shared apartment as he awaited your arrival home, thinking of what to say.
his blood boiled as he thought of the implications of the past couple of weeks. you and ryan were definitely planning something. and with how close you two were lately, it was probably something that shane, your boyfriend, would not care for at all. and if his thoughts were right, then had this happened before? is he only noticing this now? he couldn’t even begin with what he needed to say to you.
you were the most important thing to him. from the moment he met you, he knew he had to be with you. and now that you could be cheating on him with his best friend? his heart was pumping and aching in his chest, and he didn’t know whether to be angry or sad.
when you opened the door, his head immediately shot up. “hey,” you smiled. after you closed the door behind you and took in his frantic state, you asked, “something wrong?”
“we gotta talk,” was all he could manage as he shook his head.
you furrowed your brow as you slipped off your jacket and dropped your bag. “okay..?” you stepped toward him. “what about?”
but your innocence just seemed to frustrate him. “i know about you and ryan.” you stopped in your tracks, but he didn’t dare glance at your reaction to his words. he was worried about what he’d find there. “i heard you guys talking in the breakroom earlier about meeting up when im not home, and how you two always text lately, and you’re always.. touching and..” he took a breath. “i know, y/n.” he finally looked up at you to see your face frozen in what seemed to be shock and concern. you stepped closer to him.
“shane, what?” he stood his ground, arms crossed as you moved in front of him. “shane, no.. no, i love you so much, i would never cheat on you.” you placed your hands on his arms and looked him dead in his eyes. but his expression remained stone.
“why should i believe that?” he spoke lowly.
he wished he hadn’t seen your heart break in your eyes. “shane, ryan and i are your best friends, we wouldn’t dare do that to you. we..” you let out a sigh through your nose and removed your hands from his arms to fish your phone out of your pocket. you unlocked it and handed it to him, revealing the texts between you and ryan.
scrolling up, he found:
boogara, 12:38pm okay, this might be a stupid question..
y/n, 12:42pm i love it already, do tell
boogara, 12:44pm alright do you think it would be at all possible to get balloons custom made as characters from the hotdaga?
y/n, 12:45pm OHMYGOD I LOVE IT WE ABSOLUTELY CAN IM LOOKING INTO IT RN
boogara, 12:46pm shane better appreciate this idea as much as you do when his birthday comes around
y/n, 12:48pm ryan, that man will celebrate harder than he’s ever celebrated before
boogara, 12:49pm he better
shane didn’t know what to make of that as he handed his phone back to you.
“we were planning a surprise party for your birthday,” you sighed, tucking your phone back into your pocket. “that’s why we’re so.. secretive.” you twiddled with your hands nervously. “but i guess not anymore.” shane didn’t know what to say. you looked up to him sadly. “you thought i was cheating on you..?”
shane’s heart burned with guilt. softly, he spoke, “i did, yeah.” your frown deepened. “but not because i don’t trust you,” he explained, taking your hand in his. you looked to your hands instead of his desperate eyes for a moment. “but because i just..” you looked up at him, and the words spilled out, “i don’t know, im just always in awe that i get to be with you and... i guess i got scared that maybe you thought i wasn’t good enough for you, because god knows im not.”
“shane,” you said softly, placing a hand on his cheek. “you’re perfect for me. ryan is definitely one of my best friends, but he doesn’t hold a candle to the love i have for you.” he offered you a short smile. “i only have eyes for you, dork.”
“im sorry,” he whispered. you pulled him in for a tight hug.
“i am, too,” you sighed, resting your head on his shoulder. “will you still act surprised for your birthday..? ryan’s pretty proud of himself.”
“i’d do anything for that little guy,” he sighed, pulling away from you to gaze at your sweet smile. “let’s go watch drunk history.”

corpse husband x fem!reader 
summary: you meet corpse on a stream and you’re surprised when he reaches out to you 
warnings: cursing, mentions of tattooing
word count: 1.9k
notes: This is proof read but could have missed some stuff. This is my first corpse fic and my first time writing fanfic since I posted that super cringey book on wattpad when I was like 12 or something. I’d appreciate feed back so please reach out to me :)
main blog @itsmysleepover
read part 2 here!
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
You were cleaning up your station so you can get home and stream. You loved your day job as a tattoo artist but you also really enjoyed streaming. It started as a way to promote yourself as an artist and the shop you worked at but it eventually became a really fun way to destress at the end of the week (or day if you were really itching to stream). “Hey Y/N was that your last client?” your boss, KC, asked as she walked to the front of the shop and put new flash drawings on the walls.
“Yes ma’am!” You said back excitedly. You finished cleaning your station and tossed your black gloves in the trash. “And you can’t trick me into staying and taking walk-ins,” you joked with her. She rolled her eyes and walked back into her office “It was one time,” she said as you slid on your jacket. As you walked out your phone buzzed in your pocket and you checked to see who had texted you. It was a message from Sean asking if you were free to play Among Us with him and some other streamers. You replied that you were on your way home right now and totally down. You were excited to see who was playing this time around since their Among Us streams are super entertaining and have gotten really popular.
On your way back you tweeted and posted to your Instagram story that you’d be streaming soon and set up all your stuff once you made it home. After a few minutes, you had a couple of thousand people watching. You entered the discord chat and Sean spoke up. “Everyone this is Y/N she’s sensitive so be gentle.”
“It’s nice to finally meet you guys and I’m not gentle, I'm ruthless,” You say into your mic and notice the chat calling you a liar. Everyone was in the lobby waiting for the game to start. “You sound way too sweet to be ruthless,” Corpse said. The countdown started and you were imposter with Charlie.
“This should be fun,” you told the stream. Yout tried playing strategically but after such a long shift your brain was mush. You saw Poki in nav and killed her then vented into shields. Not long after the body was reported and you were sure you were going to get voted out or at least sussed.
“Where was the body?” Felix asked. “Nav and I didn’t see anyone near there so whoever is imposter must have vented,” Corpse responded. Felix spoke up again. “I think I saw Y/N walk that way and I haven’t seen her since.”
Shit, shit, shit shit. “I’m in shield right now so-” you said trying to defend yourself but Charlie spoke up. “I was doing tasks with her earlier and I saw her walk into shields so she’s safe but I’m still not sure about Rae.” Everyone discussed a bit more and some people, including Corpse, voted for you but Rae got the majority vote and was ejected. You released your breath and kept playing being extra careful.  
“Okay, guys that was super close. Corpse knows and is out to get me,” you said to the chat. You were eventually voted off but one round later victory was written across your screen with your ghost and Charlie’s avatar. “Good game guys,” Corpse said.
“I told you guys I was ruthless!”
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
You sat at your station doing nothing because a client had canceled a four-hour session. You were listening to music and sketching some stuff but you were bored out of your mind and you didn’t want to leave in case you got a walk-in. The music got quiet as you received a twitter notification saying someone had messaged you. You reached for your phone and saw you had gotten a dm from Corpse.
C: hey :)
You didn’t know what to respond. You were mostly confused as to why he decided to message you out of the blue. Did he want something? But what would he want?
Y: Hii! This is sudden
C: was i bothering you?
    shit sorry!
Y: Youre fine I wasn’t doing anything rn
C: how has your day been
    i dont usually do stuff like this
Y: Im glad you did im doing better now I was so bored
C: what were you doing that was so terrible
Y: NOTHING! thats the problem :(
C: im sure youll find something to do
You stared at his message. Unsure what to respond.
Y: Im gonna give myself a tattoo
C: what?
    NO!
You tossed the needles you used for your tattoo into the sharps box. “Oh my god you didn’t,” KC said. She noticed the wrap on your calve from the tattoo you just gave yourself out of boredom. “It’s not my fault I didn’t have anything else to do!” You said trying to defend yourself. She sighed and just shook her head. “Just go home business is slow today.” It was raining so the shop probably wasn’t going to get a walk-in anyway and you didn’t have any more clients for the day. It was only 2 pm but you drove home and after making lunch for yourself decided to stream. You weren’t expecting too many people so it was bound to be super chill. Your leg felt sore reminding you of the tattoo. You snapped a quick pic of the fresh jack-o-lantern on the side of your calve and messaged it to Corpse.
Y: [image] it came out nice!
C: thats  super cool actually
    i was concerned why you would just give yourself a tattoo but i found your instagram and       youre super talented
Y: Thank you!
For some reason, it felt strange to just have that be the end of your response.
Y: Im about to start streaming if you wanted to watch
    [link]
C: ill be watching ;)
What’s that supposed to mean?
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
You sat in your apartment watching tv, hand lost in a bag of Doritos, and scrolling through twitter. You had stopped paying attention to the anime playing on the screen since you’ve watched it a hundred times and knew you wouldn’t miss anything. It was Saturday and you usually take those days off. Take the time to do chores or meet up with some friends but today you felt like not doing any of those things. As you continue your endless scroll (not helping the twitter addiction you told yourself you’d try to get a handle on) you got a message from Corpse.
C: wanna talk?
You looked down at the message unsure of how to answer. It was a simple yes or no and the obvious answer was yes. You and Corpse had started talking more regularly. You still didn’t have each other’s phone numbers but it was fine. Your conversations weren’t too big-- just you sending him memes, tiktoks, and telling him how much you liked the songs he would drop. Or him complimenting a tattoo you did. Sometimes he’d message you during streams telling you funny stuff his fans would say in the chat and you’d do the same. You learned a bit about each other but nothing too deep or serious. Like how you two lived a few cities away and you both really liked Donnie Darko. When Sean first invited you to that game out of everyone else there you were most excited to meet Corpse. He’s just so sweet and funny. Of course, you’d love to talk to him but you were also itching to talk to him and the last thing you’d ever want to do was make him uncomfortable.
Y: Yeah id love to talk
Here goes nothing.
Y: Wanna facetime or something?
     No pressure or anything it could even be a regular call
     I think facetime is just my default lol
You sent those last two messages quickly after you had sent the first. You wished you could know what he was thinking. It was killing you to think you had turned him off from talking to you completely. You put your phone down on the couch and went to wash your hand of Dorito dust. When you got back from the kitchen you turned off the tv and tossed yourself onto the couch.
Still no message.
Why am I so fucking stupid?  
Just as you were standing up to stretch from sitting on the couch all day your phone buzzed. You reached for it fast and looked to see that it was him. You became super excited still not even knowing what the message said. It could have told you to never talk to him again for all you knew.
C: sure lets facetime
    xxx-xxx-xxxx
You had his phone number. You added him to your small but growing contact list and called. You sat on your couch waiting for a response when he finally picked up the screen was black. It didn’t upset you; you kind of expected it and didn’t care what he had to do to make himself more comfortable during this call.
“Hey,” he said. His voice was raspier than usual.
“Did you just wake up?” You asked and looked at the time. It was about a little past noon and you had only eaten Doritos all day. Shit, you should probably make a decent meal.
“Not that long ago but yeah,” he responded and giggled. That giggle.
“Well, I’ve eaten nothing but Doritos all day while rewatching Ouran High School Host Club, so you’re welcome to join me as I make myself something to eat.”
“Sounds like fun; what are we eating?”
“I don’t know yet,” You said as you stood up and made your way to the kitchen. You opened the pantry and looked. You noticed a can of diced tomatoes and reached for it then checked the expiration date. It was still good. On your counter were some onions and garlic. “How about some tomato soup?”
“Sounds delicious.” you smiled at Corpse and your phone screen not knowing if he was also looking at his screen or not. “You’re really pretty-- you know that?”
“Thanks, but you don’t have to--”
“I’ve already told you what an incredible artist you are so many times I bet you’re tired of hearing it, but you already know what a talented artist you are.”
“That is very kind of you Corpse,” you said to him bashfully as you chopped the onion and opened the can of tomatoes. “But once again you don’t have to reach so far to compliment me.”
“I’m not reaching you are talented and beautiful and--”
“I thought I was pretty.” You could hear him chuckle with a smile on his face. “You’re both,” he said. You could feel your face getting warm from blushing.
“Fuck you you’re making me blush. My face is all hot and stuff.”
He laughed at how flustered you got. “That’s the cutest thing ever.”
You didn’t know how to respond so you just put some olive oil in a pot and tossed in your onions. It became silent but it was a comfortable silence. You turned the stove on and watched the flame for a few seconds. “If it was dark we could pretend we were together and having a bonfire or something,” you said to the phone as you turned the camera to show him the flame (still not 100 percent sure if he was looking at you or not).
“I’ll put it on the list of things to do when you visit me someday.”

Dirty Little Secret
A/N: hello everyoneeee, this is my first oneshot fanfic on tumblr, which is a Rodrick Heffley x gn!reader, i hope u all enjoy!
warnings: cliche, probably words spelled wrong, bad grammer, swearing and thats about it!
----------------------------<3---------------------------------------------
RRRRRRR! Your phone went off, waking you up from your nap. you oponed it to see what it was, seeing a notification from your best friend, Rodrick. The message read;
"WAZZUP Y/N IM HAVING A PARTY AT MY HOUSE 2NIGHTTT
UR GONNA BE THERE RIGHT?? "
You smiled at the text. last time Rodrick tried pulling off a party without his parents knowing, he got into a LOT of trouble, so you kind of felt like warning him about the possible outcome, but decided to let him figure that out on his own. soon enough, you replied with:
"totally my little drummer boy ;))"
You and rodrick had been friends since your freshman year of highschool. you had first met when you saved him from getting his ass kicked, and ever since that day, you had started to grow feelings for him. he just made your heart fllutter, with his stupid little smirks, and the way his hazel eyes would randomly stare you down while in class.
it was all too much, in a good way.
RING RINGGG!
Your thoughts were shattered as you looked down to see an incoming call from Rodrick, sliding right you answered the call. "Hey doll face" said Rodrick through the phone. "Hola yeah boy." you and Rodrick had a little inside thing inspired by the song Yeah Boy And Doll Face by Pierce The Veil. Even though he used that stupid nickname in a sarcastic way, it still made you feel dizzy.
"What are ya up to?" says Rodrick. "Nothing much, what about you?" you reply, "Oh you know, just practicing for the party" Rodrick responds in a cocky tone. "Really? what song are you gonna be playing?" you ask, "Dirty Little Secret of course" said Rodrick. "Sweeeet, want me to come over early to help you set up?" you ask. "Naaaah its fine, thanks tho sugar" again with the nicknames. "Too bad, i'm gonna ask if i can go over" you respond. "Fine fine, i'll see you then Y/n" "adios.''
You then hung up.
After asking your parent if you could go to Rodricks, you threw on some clothes that were suitable for this occasion and headed out. You and Rodrick didn't live that far away from eachother, so you ended up just walking. You knocked on his front door, and soon heard banging footsteps coming from the garage area. "HEy Y/n, come on in" Rodrick said while aking your hand and leading you to his garage. "Hey Y/n" all of Rodricks band members said, they knew you had a thing for Rodrick, it was obvious after all.
"alright Y/n, we need you to be the judge of how we play today" said Rodrick. you nodded.
~Timeskip to after the (horrible) practice~
"So what do ya think Y/n???" rodrick asked, hoping for a positive response. "Um..you guys did good! Everyones gonna love it" you replied, causing Rodrick to nearly jump for joy. "Wait, what time is it?" asked one of Rodricks bandmates. you took your phone out of your pocket to check the time, "6:25" you answer. "OH SHIT EVERYONES GONNA BE HERE IN LIKE 5 MINUTES-" exclaimed Rodrick, only to be cut off by Greg and Rowley walking into the garage. "Whos gonna be here? oh and hi Y/n" Greg says. "None of your beeswax" said Rodrick, which made you lightly punch him in the shoulder. "Rodricks just having a small get together, but dont tell your parents" you said, you were always there to defend Greg from Rodrick being an ass. Greg nodded and went back to his room, Rowley following behind him. After that, everyone rushed to get the lights on and snacks out. soon, you heard a knock at the door, you checked the time; it was already 6:35. You answered the door, seeing multiple people from yours and Rodricks school. by the time it was 6:40, the house was packed with teenagers hoping for an awesome party. you heard the garage door open, making everyone go outside.
There he was, in all his glory, your little emo boy on the cement pavemant of a stage. Except he wasnt in the back with his drums like usual, he was in the front with the microphone. Singing wasnt exactly his forte, judging from what happened with heather hills that one time. He saw you staring and gave you a wink, which you giggled at. excitment filled everyone, as much as Rodricks banned kinda sucked, it was still pretty cool. Soon, the guitarist started, and then the drummer, then the bassist. A wide smiled spread across your face as the started to play the intro to Dirty Little Secret.
"Let me know what I've done wrong, when I've known this all along"
"I go around to tie my two, just to waste my time with you"
rodrick (very badly) sang into the microphone, you saw everyone slightly cringe.
"tell me all that you've thrown away"
"Find out games you dont wanna play"
"You are, the only one that needs to knooOOOW"
"I'LL KEEP YOU MY DIRTY LITTLE SECRET< AND DONT TELL ANYONE OR YOU'LL BE JUST ANOTHER REGRET (just another regret hope that you can keep it) MY DIRTY LITTLE SECRET. WHO HAS TO KNOW?"
Rodrick sang at the top of his lungs, his bandmates singing the adlibs.
"When we live such fragile lives, its the best way, we survive"
"I go around to tie my two, just to waste my time with you"
"Tell me all that you've thrown away, find out games you dont wanna play"
"You areee, the only one that needs to knooOOOWW"
"I"LL KEEP YOU MY DIRTY LITTLE SECRET, DONT TELL ANYONE OR YOU'LL BE JUST ANOTHER REGRET"
"MY DIRTY LITTLE SECRET, WHO HAS TO KNOW?"
"THE WAY SHE FEELS INSIDE"
"THOSE THOUGHTS I CANT DENY" "THESE SLEEPING DOGS WONT LIE" "AND ALL I'VE TRIED ITS TEARING ME APART'
"TRACE THIS LINE BAAAACK"
Rodrick saw you in the crowd, and looked deep into your eyes.
"i'll keep you my dirty little secret..dont tell anyone or you'll be just another regret"
"I'LL KeEP YOU MY DIRTY LITTLE SECRETTTT DONT TELL ANYoNE OR YOU'LL BE JUST ANOTHER REGRET MY DIRTY LITTLE SECRET DIRTY LITTLE SECRET DIRTY LITTLE SECRETTT WHO HAS TO KNOW? WHO HAS TO KNOOOoW!" Rodricks voice cracked up, which made you giggle. The crowd clapped at the silly performance. Soon after, everyone headed back inside to hang out and party.
You went up to Rodrick and told him how amazing he did. "Thanks Y/n" he said, blushing while looking down. Rodrick turned around and whispered something to his band, which made them smile and walk away. He looked back at you and said "Lets go to my room, yeah?" You silently nod, and follow him up the stairs towards his room.
Rodrick closed the door behind you, and sat you down on his bed.
"Uhm, y/n..i've been wanting to tell you this for a really long time now.." you put your hand on his, trying to calm his nerves, little did you know that made it worse. "i..i love you. i love you so much"
"Rodrick.." Your eyes widen, your cheeks heat up. You find those beautiful hazel eyes stare into yours, until they close of course. You copy Rodricks action and close your eyes. The both of you lean in and share a kiss long awaited. His lips are softer than they look, and he tastes like cherry lip balm. You both pull away and smile, blushing at the thought of what just happened.
"I thought your mom had told you to not kiss anyone with the door closed?" you ask. Rodrick smiles and says,
"I'll just keep it my dirty little secret."
--------------------------------<3-----------------------------------------
A/N: TYSM FOR READINGGG im sorry it took so long to come out, but at least its here now! ty again for reading! have a nice day/night<3

babysitter!jungwon
Tumblr media
pairing: babysitter!jungwon x reader
genre: fluff
description: your mom hired a babysitter for your little sister since you were out with friends often and she worked most of the week... but once you meet the babysitter you have second thoughts about going out with your friends
———
“the babysitter is almost here y/n! greet him before you leave!” your mom yelled at you while she put on her shoes to go run some errands
“but mommmm!” you whined
“i have to leave now! my friends have been waiting for like 20 minutes!” you frustratedly said back
you had planned to go bowling with your friends after school BUT your mom said you had to let in the babysitter first
obviously you were annoyed like the teenager you are
your 6 year old sister wooyeon was sat on the couch watching some cartoon on the tv
“im leaving sweetie, you better stay put before he gets here or youre grounded.” she didnt even let you respond before she was out the door in a flash
you huffed and sat next to wooyeon
“is my babysitter here yet?” she looked up at with you big eyes
“i dont even know when hes getting here” you pouted and began to text your friends to let them know you were gonna be late
y/n: gona be late guys🙄 mom made me wait for the babysitter so i cant leave until hes here
riki: we dont care
y/n: stfu asshole
jinah: awww man can we start without u 😓
sunoo: LMAO JINAH
sunoo: jinah is so funny bc we already started without u y/n
y/n: I HATE U ALL SO MUCH
jinah: BYE
riki: y/n can u bring gummy bears plz
y/n: fine
y/n: ill be there in like 40 mins idk when this guy is getting here
y/n: hello
y/n: where did u guys go
y/n: you all burn in hell
you laughed and rolled your eyes at your stupid friends
god it feels like its been FOREVER when is this guy getting here
idk what happened but it seems like god answered your prayers
*knock knock knock*
FINALLYYY
you jumped up and ran to the door while wooyeon curiously peered over the couch
swinging the door open you were about to start spewing stuff like “so theres wooyeon and theres a note of all the stuff you need to know so ive gotta go now bye”
BUT..............
lord have mercy
what did you do in your past life to deserve such a beautiful human being arrive at your doorstep
“oh um hi... are you wooyeons babysitter?” you shyly asked
YOU COULD BARELY LOOK HIM IN THE EYE
“ah yes, im jungwon! nice to meet you” he smiled
HIS DIMPLES OH MY GOD
wooyeon popped up next to you
“hi! im wooyeon, are you my babysitter? you’re cute, i like your face!”
i
“oh my god im so sorry” you embarrassingly put your hands on wooyeons shoulders and tried to lead her back to the couch
jungwon laughed “its fine haha” he followed in after you and shut the door behind him
wooyeon sat back on the couch, waiting for you to leave so she could talk to jungwon herself
“so um.. i’ve got go now. theres notes on the counter by the way. how long are you gonna be babysitting wooyeon?” you were standing next to the front door now as he was facing you from next to the couch
“oh your mom hired me on the weekdays for the rest of this month. from 4 to 8” he said
“wow thats a long time.. well thank you by the way, ill see you later i guess”
he grinned and waved bye to you with wooyeon
and then you just walked out of the door
but you really really didnt want to
your mom did not tell you she hired the Cutest Babysitter Ever wtf!!!!!
when you finally got to the bowling alley you wouldnt shut up about jungwon so they just started to ignore you
you were out with them until 7 so now you were on the way home
and hopefully your mom didnt come back early so jungwon could still be there
AND HE WAS <33
your keys rattle in the lock and you open the door almost excitedly
you peeked your head through the door to see jungwon and wooyeon at the kitchen counter making what seemed to be cookies
“hey you two” you grinned at them
“hi y/n! how are you? sorry i couldnt open the door for you, im kind of occupied here” jungwon giggled and you saw his hands covered in greasy cookie dough
“y/n we’re making cookies!” wooyeon exclaimed
“i can see that, they smell yummy” you started to walk over to them
“im doing great” you smiled at him AGAIN.. “oh and its okay, i can see you’re very busy being a baker here” you laughed
you and jungwon would just make small talk here and there while wooyeon was in her own world playing with the cookie dough
he was so nice it made your heart hurt
it turned 8pm quicker than you thought sadly
“jungwonie!” your sister fake cried “i dont want you to go”
she was literally stuck on his leg refusing to let him go
“ahh wooyeon dont worry! go to sleep now and ill be back tomorrow!” he bent down to pat her head
“wooyeon.. if you dont go to your bed now then jungwon wont come back tomorrow!” you tried to scare her
it definitely worked because there was sheer horror on her face and she ran towards her bedroom
you and jungwon laughed at the sight
he had his stuff gathered in his hand and stopped at the door
“wooyeon is really sweet, im glad shes not a scary child like the other ones ive babysat”
“really?” you gasped “shes a demon to me”
he chuckled at that
his laugh is so cute Omg
“well ill get going now..” he opened the door
“okay.. bye! thank you jungwon, ill see you tomorrow” he gave you a small wave before walking out the door to his car
you dreamily sighed
would it be so bad if you ditched your friends from now on to stay with jungwon and wooyeon
but if you just stayed home with them wouldnt that eliminate the need for a babysitter
its a lose-lose situation 😞
maybe you would go out with them but then come back really early so you could spend more time with him
yes thats it!

we only have 15 minutes, sugar
pairings; eren jaeger x reader
content warning; mentions of past jean x reader, oral sex, masturbation, recording, manhandling?
Tumblr media
february 19th
you always found eren jaeger attractive, especially tonight at this party. his long hair thrown up into a messy bun, his white shirt with water split on it - making it see through. god you were about to start counting his abs. but who you were really here for? jean. you guys weren’t in a relationship or anything, just friends who liked to help eachother. it started off when you guys would go to eachother for advice or he would find himself in your dorm room ranting to you. just helping eachother with little problems of course. that doesn’t mean sucking his dick was that much of a stretch from it, right?
anyways jean was in a frat house, along side eren. they were throwing a party, and somehow jean convinced you to stop by. you didn’t know if you were regretting it or not. jean was no where to be seen so you just sat yourself on the kitchen counter drinking some punch you found in a bowl. you were admiring eren from a far, remembering all the bad things jean had said about him. how he just annoys the living shit out of him. but god, how attractive he was. you could’ve sworn you looked down at your phone for not even a minute when you heard someone clear their voice right in front of you. you looked up to be met with eren.
“uh hi?”
“hey hey! erm- y/n. we had physics last semester together. eren, eren yeager.”
yeah, i already know your name
“oh hi!”
“my friend reiner over there says he knows ‘ya too. wanna come play truth or dare with us in the backyard hm?”
slipping your phone into the pocket of your shorts, you jumped off the counter, centimeters away from eren.
he let out a low chuckle, placing his hands on the counter, trapping you inbetween the granite and himself. he looked you right in the eye before reaching one of his hands back to grab a chip in the bowl behind where you were sitting. your breathing shakened a bit and you rolled your eyes at him, looking down.
he let out another chuckle before grabbing your chin and tilting it up, forcing you to look at him. “no need to roll your eyes sugar. if you were expectin-wanting something else, just say it. i’m not a mind reader baby.” he gave you a little wink before letting you go and backing up.
“i erm- i gotta pee i’ll meet you guys outside.”
he gave you a small head pat before running towards the back door.
right when you turned around to head to the bathroom you crashed right into jean, stumbling back a bit.
“oh hey jean!”
he sent you a blunt hey and started walking to the back door with an annoyed look on his face.
tch, what’s his problem.
your little bathroom excuse wasn’t actually an exuse, the amount of punch you were drinking finally caught up to you. right after you sat down your two best friends since birth, sasha and connie came bursting through the door, hysterically cracking up.
“YOO IM TRYING TO PISS.”
ignoring your comment they both collapsed onto the counter laughing their asses off.
you lightly smacked sasha on the back of her head, since she was the laughing the closest to you. “i swear if one of you idiots don’t tell me what the problem is-”
“YOUR BOYFRIENDS ARE OUTSITE FIGHTING OVER YOU-” connie said between laughs practically screaming.
“my who?”
“JEAN AND EREN. I-I ASKED FLOCH WHY THEY WERE FIGHTING AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF YOU AND HOW JEAN IS ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT HOW YOU ARE SO GOOD AT SU-”
“GOD SASHA YOU DONT HAVE TO TELL HER THAT PART”
“CAN YOU GUYS STOP SCREAMING!”
“SORRY, sorry y/n. apparently jean saw you and eren in the kitchen and well, tried beating eren up.”
letting out a sigh you pulled up your pants and ran out of the bathroom.
running outside you found jean knocked out in the arms of marco and eren standing up, wiping some blood out of the corner of his mouth while winking at you. walking right up to him you slapped him right across the face.
he let out a deep, long chuckle.
“i need to talk to you.”
“lead the way sugar.”
you grabbed his arm and pulled him inside while feeling every single pair of eyes on you.
“where’s your room.”
“if you wanted to get me in bed you could’ve just asked baby.”
god can anyone be that full of themselves
“no - no. i don-”
“i’m just joking sugar. follow me.”
he grabbed your hand and led you up into his room, closing the door behind him.
“what the hell was that all about.”
“for the record he started it. he got jealous for no reason and i wasn’t going to let him use me and his rag doll. and you shouldn’t be with someone like jean anyway. you should hear the way he brags about you being his bitch whenever the house is hanging out.” eren plopped down onto his bed
with that you didn’t know who to be mad at this point. he patted his lap signaling you to come over and sit on it. ignoring him you rolled your eyes and sat down next to him, causing him to chuckle again.
“you should clean your wounds that looks pretty deep on your cheek. and take a shower you smell like dirt and grass.”
he got up and headed over to his bathroom door. leaning on the door frame he turned back around.
“only if you stay.”
“hmph, i’ll think about it.”
15 minutes later eren walked out of the bathroom. you were no where to be found. he did know that he’d get back to you one day, considering you left your phone number on a gum wrapper in place of where you were sitting.
february 26
friday strolled around as quick as ever. this week you talked to eren a few times. he texted you on sunday night to have a good week. sicne he was being nice you replied with a “you too:’)”
after that he texted you yesterday afternoon asking if you wanted to come to another party. you never responded, and now it’s friday, 2:05. you just finished all your classes, and you’d be lying if you said you had anything else to do. well except for the pile of homework you usually wait until sunday to do.
sighing you texted him back saying you already had plans and wouldn’t be able to make it. after that you decided to take a short nap. what you thought would be a short nap turned into you sleeping until 6:30. you figured you should get up and get some dinner. you decided to grub hub some taco bell and eat it in the dinning hall. after getting your food you sat down in the corner of the room. it was pretty empty since it was pretty late for dinner.
“ouch, i’m offended.”
you turned around at the familiar voice
“even jean could convince you to come out but i get some lame exuse.”
“it, it wasn’t an exuse. i do have plans.”
“yeah with yourself.” he pulled over a nearby chair and sat next to you.
“i ditched the party, it was pretty boring.”
“so you came to bother me?” you said while still stuffing your face with your food
“yeah pretty much, you wanna hangout?”
“i mean do i really have a choice?”
he leaned over and grabbed one of your nachos, shoving it in his face.
“no not really sugar.”
rolling your eyes you threw out your garbage and led him to your dorm room. since it wasn't that far of a walk, neither of you said anything on the way there. he just simply followed you. 
once you got into your room you shut the door behind you. 
“if you’re sitting on my bed then shoes off.”
“demanding” he said while slipping his shoes off and plopping onto your bed
“soo..” he said as you sat down next to him.
“wanna watch a movie or something? i see you have a tv in here.”
“sure, let me just fix my blankets so get up.”
he nodded and chuckled, getting up. you pulled down your comforter so there was room to get in, and threw all your blankets into the corner before grabbing your remote and slipping into your bed.
“is this an invitation to come lay with you under your blankets.”
“shut the light.” you said while pressing power on the remote. 
the last thing you remember from that night was cracking up with eren over some stupid movie the two of you put on. before you knew it you woke up with a tight grip around your waist. you look over to see eren, still sound asleep. he was so pretty. you figured the two of you just fell asleep while watching movies yesterday. moments like these you were grateful your roommate was on back at home for family issues.
you tried slipping out of his grip before he pulled you back in and groaned. he was still sleeping so you figured you weren't getting up anytime soon, so you closed your eyes and drifted off back to sleep. you woke up about two hours later to find no eren, but a note.
forgot i have to work on a project with floch. i had fun last night, lets do it again soon :)
you were in a good mood the rest of the day. 
may 15 
its almost been four months since you've met eren. you also cut off your contact with jean. he was a good fuck while it lasted. over the last four months you and eren got closer than ever. hanging out almost everyday, going to parties together, falling asleep cuddling every weekend, you name it. yet again, friday came around. instead of cuddling, you and eren decided to go to a party at some sorority house. 
three hours later you were sitting in a circle with a bunch of people you recognized / were friends with. you were all playing a game of truth or dare, cracking up at each other. everyone’s secrets were coming out and people were doing some crazy things. and the list of things we had to do on campus was piling up. for example, connie has to pull a prank on professor ackerman during class on monday. until it was sasha’s time to ask you.
“hmmm. OH Y?N! truth or dare babes!”
you really had to think this one over. sasha had the power of exposing every single one of your secrets if you picked truth, but she's also kind of crazy so who knows what she would dare you to do. after a small debate in your head you went with dare.
“i pick dare.”
“alright! hmmMMM. i dare you to go into an empty room with eren for 15 minutes.”
you felt the heat rush up to your cheeks when you stood up and stretched your arm out for eren to grab. 
you both left the living room and headed up to a room while hearing the small, faint giggles from your friends.
entering the room eren shut and locked the door behind the two of you.
“so.. what do you wanna do?”
“hmm. we only have 15 minutes, sugar.”
this is it. the moment you've been waiting for. you had eren right in front of you. just go up and kiss him already! 
as you slowly walked up closer to him. he flipped the both of you, pinning you up against the wall. 
“let me see if you taste as sweet as I've imagined, sugar. pleaseee you don't even want to know the amount of times I've fisted myself to the mere thought of it.”
you gave him a nod and that was all he needed to pull you off the wall and push you down onto the bed. pulling up your skirt and pulling down your panties, he grimly smirked. 
“don't you dare cum without my permission.” was all he said before going between your legs and flicking his tongue onto your clit. your breathing quickly became heavy and irregular before he shoved two fingers, palm deep into your cunt. 
“ahh~ f-fuck eren-” you blurted out while starting to move under his touch, slightly bucking your hips up. 
that was until you felt a strong pair of hands hold your hips down. 
“stop moving or i’ll stop.” he hissed out before going back down on you, eating you out more forcefully than before, brining you right to your climax.
“f-fuck eren i need to cum- please let me cum. pleaseee~”
“no.” he said while pulling his fingers out of you.
“the only place you’re cummin’ is on my cock. you hear me?”
you wiped away the slight tears forming in the corners of your eye while nodding.
“that's a good little girl.” eren said while smirking
he swiftly grabbed you and flipped you over onto all fours, while shoving your face into the mattress. your first reaction was to perk your ass up for him.
“well someones eager aren't they.” was all he said before pulling down his pants just enough for his fully hard cock to spring out. he could've came just to the feeling of eating you out. 
he leaned down into your ear while whispering, “as sweet as sugar.” he started jacking off while still leaning down, before quickly cumming all over your ass. 
did he just?
he pulled up his pants before getting up and heading up towards the door. 
“well sugar, looks like our time is almost up. we should get back to the ga-” he was cut off by you running up to him and clinging right onto his shirt. practically crying you were blurting out small no’s.
“f-fuck the game, er - eren please just fuck me.” you were so desperate to the point where you were choking on your words. 
“aw, i’m sorry baby i didn't mean to make you cry.” he said while stroking your hair and patting your head. “come suck me off in my car and maybe if you do a good job i'll take ya home and fuck you, yeah?
may 18
sitting in your first class of the morning you were bored out of your mind. getting some lecture from professor ackerman after connie drew all over his desk.
that was until you got a snapchat notification from eren. opening it you were oh so grateful you had your headphones in. it was a video of eren cumming all over his laptop with a video of him shoving his cock oh so deep into your pretty little cunt. 
with the caption of missin’ the taste, sugar :’(
you’d be sure to pay him a visit during your lunch break.
