In-game and au Ares

Hercules x (fem) reader

Setting: modern au

Plot: From high school friends ➜ college friends.

“It’s not nice to eavesdrop.”

“Shhh, now. Hercules brought a girl home from school today.”

A middle aged man had his ear to his step-son’s door listening to their conversation, while passing by the brother kindly scolded his father for his behavior.

“He brings a lot of friends that are girls home.”

“Don’t say it like that, Hermes.”

The father made a Shh motion with his hand only for the oldest son, Ares, to join in on the conversation.

“What going on? Hercules home?”

“Yes, and he’s also brought home a girl apparently.”

“But he’s brought home girls before.”

Hermes answered his older brother who was studying for his college exams, technically all three men were so supposed to be studying, Ares gave the same answer Hermes did which made him shrug his shoulders.

“Yeah, yeah. But this one is different. She’s hot.”

“Unless, (Name)’s behind the door Im not impressed.”

Ares told his father, as all three boys went to the same school and knew of a popular girl named (Name). Seemingly, everyone seemed and everyone seemed to think Hercules and (Name) were going out but they denied everytime when asked and once word got out that (Name) was visiting her supposed friend at home the school would be a buzz.

“Yes! That’s her name actually.”

“Really?! (Name)’s here?!”

“How did brother Hercules pull that off.”

“Are you saying your brother is ugly and can’t get a girl?”

Ares was surprised to hear that his younger brother had invited the popular girl to their home, Hermes didn’t believe it at first but did come to the conclusion that it wasn’t impossible and their father teased them only to have the door open knocking him almost out as it was Hercules who opened the door.

“I heard that! (Name) is my friend and she just came over to get her manga back from me.”

Poking her head from around his arm with a few manga books in her arms, both were still wearing their school uniform and Hermes could tell that weren’t up to anything. Ares, unknowingly stepped on his father to introduce himself as Hermes did the same ignoring their fathers cries.

Shaking all their hands and getting to know her friend’s brothers (Name) felt honored. Before she left to go home however, Hercules asked her to come over to study as he was a bit nervous taking his college entrance exams and of course (Name) agreed to do so as she was also a bit nervous about taking her exams.

“So, you’re not dating? Lame.”

“It’s not like that between us-and how did these rumors start anyways?”

Castor and Hercules were walking to class together and Hercules had already heard the rumors about him and his friend. The tall and muscular Hercules wasn’t too happy about that, while it didn’t matter to Hercules what they said about him it was (Name) he was concerned about.

“Not for sure, but it’s definitely a buzz at school.”

Castor was right Hercules was bombarded with questions from people he knew and didn’t know. Thinking to himself, what was the big deal about inviting a girl over. Not seeing the big deal Hercules ignored their comment but would add in that (Name) was a good girl and that they shouldn’t pick on her.

“(Name), we are supposed to be studying.”

“And we will. Right after I win this game.”

After school the two had walked by a arcade center and upon seeing a cute stuffed animal in a arcade crane game (Name) wanted to win and began to play. Hercules warned her not to play for too long as he knew people could spend hours on these games and the two needed that time to study. Twenty minutes later (Name) had successfully won her stuffed animal.

Rather, Hercules did as (Name) had spent all her money and Hercules helped her to get it. Thanking Hercules many times made him happy and as the day turned to night Hercules returned home to a bunch of questions from his brothers which he kindly told them he was out with a friend. Tomorrow, for sure the two would study.

“You guys were at the arcade all day?! And you didn’t study?!”

“No, but we will today.”

Castor kindly scolded his friend as Hercules kindly blamed himself as he remembered playing games all day with (Name), thinking to himself it was really fun and that he wanted play again but this time they had to study.

As the days passed, the two did study but they also had fun.

Whenever they studied at Hercules’ home they would study and talk about manga while having snacks. Ares and Hermes would sometimes eavesdrop on the two, just to make sure the two were studying. Sometimes, Castor, Hermes and Ares would join in on the study session and every time everyone seemed to enjoy each others company.

The day before college exams started it started to rain and of course (Name) forgot her umbrella. With no other choice (Name) decided to just run home, a little water never hurt anyone. Until thunder roared and the rain started to down pour preventing her idea from happening.

“Forget your umbrella?”

Recognizing the voice (Name) turned around to see her friend, Hercules with a smile on his face. Smiling back and confirming that she indeed had no umbrella, Hercules also confirmed he too had no umbrella but his school jacket would suffice. In disbelief, (Name) teased her friend saying, “I doubt your jacket will work.” Only for Hercules to reply back, “Just get in.”

Sure enough, the rain down poured and the two walked underneath Hercules’ school jacket. It was large enough for the both of them, getting the last word in by saying, “I told you so.” Hercules smiled at his friend as she walked beside him saying it was okay to be wrong sometimes.

As the two walked in the heavy rain, (Name) was asked a question she wasn’t expecting from her friend.

“Once exams are over, do you want to watch movies with me?”

“….Netflix and chill?!”

“What?! N-No! Absolutely NOT!”

Both had stopped walking as (Name) took her friend’s question the wrong way causing Hercules to become flustered and embarrassed, all the while looking at each as the rain poured heavy still.

“Well, don’t yell at me! You’re the one leaving their porn books out in broad daylight! I saw it!”

“What?! No! No! That wasn’t mine! That was my brother Ares. I would never look at such a thing and you know that-“

The two went back and forth with their “argument” but in truth they were both just flustered, (Name) believed Hercules was blaming his brother and Hercules was just flustered about the whole concept of Netflix and Chill. Eventually, the two kindly separated each frustrated with each other.

“…I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to yell at you.”

Hercules was the first to apologize and it honestly made (Name) heart skip a beat as she could tell it was genuine, clearing her throat she also apologized saying, “I’m sorry as well.” and the two shared a heartwarming laugh together in the rain.

Soon enough, the two graduated from school and went on to college of their choice.

Laying her stuff down in her dorm room, (Name) was ready to take on college life and have new beginnings. While unpacking her things she discovered the stuffed animal her beloved friend won for her, hugging it close to her she wished her handsome friend was okay on his endeavors.

“I hope you’re doing okay.”

“Wh-What are you doing in my dorm room?!”

Looking at her stuffed animal (Name) believed she was hearing things now, because that definitely sounded like her beloved friend. It was only when the voice said her name that she turned to the door way to see Hercules wearing the college’s sweatshirt with denim pants carrying his stuff, heavy stuff, with ease.

“What are you doing in my dorm room?!”

Both asked each other flustered and frustrated at the same time, poking his head from around the corner Hermes asked Hercules if (Name) was his roommate. Both blinked a few times and checked to see if they had the same room number.

They did.

“What are the odds? Well, maybe you can take it to the school Dean?”

Hermes suggested as he double checked to see whether the numbers matched, Ares walked in happy as he already had everything unpacked only to be in shock to see (Name).

“Well, if (Name) doesn’t mind we can take the room. We’re friends after all.”

Thinking to herself, if Hercules would be an decent dorm mate she concluded he would be fine. There was just one thing she wouldn’t budge on.

“…I get the shower in the mornings.”

“That’s fine.”

Both shook hands and agreed to certain terms and conditions while Hermes and Ares watched, Ares shocked that they just agreed to be room mates so quickly and not just any room mate but (Name) the popular girl in their previous school.

“They have to be dating, brother.”

Ares whispered to Hermes who tapped his chin with his finger thinking to himself maybe that was that case, only time would tell.

But one thing was certain, they were friends for sure.

Perhaps, this whole dorm mates thing wasn’t working out.

It was late at night as (Name) was trying to get some sleep as she had class the next morning, unfortunately her room mate was not asleep as he was playing games on his PS5 with other friends he had including his brothers.

Thinking to herself that it wouldn’t happen anymore, (Name) told herself she would talk to her friend in the morning. Ashame, since she liked having Hercules as a room mate as he was easy to get along with. In the morning, (Name) found her roommate who had just taken a shower exiting with just a towel wrapped around his waist and another towel drying his wet hair. Of course with a tattoo running across his torso from his right shoulder to the lower left side of his abdomen.

“Oh sorry, I have an early morning class today and borrowed the shower. Sorry about that-“

Rushing past him Hercules saw his room mate quickly by passed him and closed the bathroom door her and then hearing the shower running. Confused Hercules blinked a few times as he wondered if he did something to offend his friend.

In the shower, (Name) told herself she would tell Hercules about keeping the noise level down later that day.

Hercules abs and tattoo saved him that day.

I love your posts! Can you share more of your Gouenji headcannons? Have a lovely day/night!!

OMG?!?!? THAT'S SO NICE OF YOU!! but you should know... that if you mention gouenji to me that I'll say something long... just like this one, sorry

His reason for initially playing soccer is not anything special.

(finally finished editing i think)

It wasnt anything like something that found him while he was lonely, something passed down or given to him, or something that he shared with someone.

I think when he was young he tried a lot of sports that would keep him interested and stimulated. He likes moving around. He likes the feeling of wind on his face and putting his body in a sort of momentum and drowning in the ecstatic feeling of adrenaline.

Track and field was fun but he realized that there was more stimulation that he was missing. In baseball he found out that he likes the sensation of direct competition; of being able to face his opponent.

Volleyball was pretty cool and has more bodily contact that his body required but it doesn't require him to run that far... keeping his legs moving was important for his body and mind in ways he never really figure out why.

Basketball was stimulating enough; he could run and he crashed with his opponents enough for him to realize that he knew rough housing was something he was looking for... he enjoyed being in the air too. But it was when he fought in a specially rough game that he realized what he was actually looking for.

Being raised in a partially conservative environment that willed in him a great importance to doing good and charity, he wasn't particularly encouraged on being rough and tough (only after his mother passed did he start being a little rough on those he think are wrong and started blurring how rough could he go over someone who he thought is wrong and unfair).

What he said to Kozoumaru (ares) about being a forward, particularly intrigued me. "You can tackle people, you should be a forward." I mean of course that's an important part of the sport, tackling, and as a forward he would know that best. But ig i just didnt expect for him to just be direct about that. Not like he's someone who minces his words, but the sound of pride he had about it was so intriguing to me. It sounded almost like that's what he liked about being a forward the most, but i may just be overthinking that. Not like there would be anything wrong if that was what he loved about it either, I just wanted to emphasize that he had a particular pride in tackling.

The headcanon I'm trying to share here is that he didn't have an important history in the discovery of soccer, but it did become the perfect stimulation for him because it had everything he wanted. When he lost an important person in his life (his mother), he became dependent on the sport itself in redirecting how he's feeling for what he could have probably gotten from communication and connection with others.

Whenever he's angry, sad, happy, lonely, or feeling any other emotion... it was soccer that had his back. It was a friend to him. And that's how it turned into his lifeline. That, I think, was the reason he felt more obligation to protect soccer more than everybody did or more than how Endou won't be able to. This was why he needed to be Ishido Shuuji and then the chairman of youth soccer, because if soccer was able to help and prevented him from being lost, then it could do that to others too. As long as the friend he knew (soccer) stayed the same way.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK!! im sorry for posting it accidentally before i was done adasdfasd

Ruin dlc spoilers + big analysis of sun, there might be a few english mistakes, sorry

Just me thinking about sun's perspective on both games (dlc one is extremely interesting)

Sun is anything but a baby, sun is anything but weak, and of course neither is moon. I know many people stopped calling him a baby after a while but i saw some ppl saying similar things in the dlc when he sang and cried, that's just seems a little unfair!

Sun is extremely smart, while moon is.. "sick" (i will just call it that, we have proof that despite moon’s past he was a good care taker, he messed up sometimes but something made him worse), sun has:

In the first game:

- knew moon was unstable

- if he didn't want to turn off the lights so bad, there must have been a reason why

- moon used to be his partner in their old job at the theater, they played the act together , i don't think he's means to do anything to hurt moon.. But he also can't risk anyone else getting hurt by moon.

- "why did sun ban Gregory" simple answer my love, i will respond with an analogy, let's remember sun seems unaware of the situation in the pizzaplex,

Imagine you're going out with your kids, imagine going to a store with glass decorations, then you ask you kid "do not break the glass". When you enter, not even a second later the kid distracts you and break a bunch of glasses. Would you let that kid be near glass again?

In the dlc:

- sun is painfully aware of what's going on and is afraid. It's on the dlc that we prove how intelligent sun is even if he's broken down

- a few players pointed out that it was easy to find the generators and easier to navigate the daycare, hmm, i wonder who could have caused that?

- sun planned everything to get him and moon "fixed". not sure how responsible he is for the damage in the daycare, but he clearly made a pathway for the generators to be found. Its mostly linear, it has papers with directions and he stuffed other the other tunnels the player shouldn't go in with toys and junk

- then you ask "if he wanted to make it easy, why didn't he put the generators at the same place next to each other?"

- easy, HE CAN'T. he's STUCK in the AR world while moon is stuck in the physical world. he can't pick up the generators in the ar world, so he had to build a path for the generators in the ar world, even placing the lights in a singular space on purpose, he's doing literally everything he can to save himself and moon from this hell, he somehow knew someone would come in again

- in my theory, maybe he thought Gregory would come back. He seems unaffected by whatever is making the animatronics run for Gregory, but like Roxanne who thought Gregory was still hiding somewhere, he too hoped for that kid to return and save him

- he instead encounters a "NEW FRIEND!", or maybe not as new, im pretty sure sun knows who cassie is. She was one of the kids he looked after, therefore another reason eclipse wished her happy bday, they remembered

- he misses moon, he misses moon so much, the tea party set...

- yes he sings and cries SO WHAT? I would cry everyday if i was on his position, give him a break! Man has been through the sudden cancelation of his job and his life in ruin, and he was the only one working to get it fixed! Moon was too sick, no human to work with.

- tho i wonder why he made a bed in his room? He keeps the room really really tidy this time? Why isn't this the case in the first game? For those who dont know what im talking about, sun and moon's room is still a mess in the physical world (what the heck moon 🤨 lmao) but in the ar world, its very very clean, he even has a groceries list written "butter, butter, butter" lmfao.

-in his room there's a lil bed out of pillows...? For them?

-there is ONE thing i dont understand. How does the ar world work with sun? Does he have to let moon do what he wants or can he have any say on what they do? Can they talk with each other? Im guessing they have horrible communication skills but they have to communicate somehow (because of their old job in the theater)

baby first off, the fuck you mean you stayed up till 5? ily and your writing but don't spoil your health like that darling :(( anw the whole chap was bomb?!

jayke back to black baby! fuma is so nice i love his characterization here 💕 and yayyy hoonie's here !!! her expressive eyes huh bud? he pays that much attention? man's is love already?

also the way you keep insisting that they were "only lil' kids when the big thing happened" makes me super scared like, what're you gonna do???😰 i hope it won't make me cry lol (im a big phat liar i actually hope it makes me cry cuz i love that shit)

ensies? that so cute 😄 i like to call them the hypens bc it is cute and cool at the same time, just like they are 💕

hoon giving the bwre minimun of aftercare shouldn't be this celebrated and praised but its a huge step for him so we take what we get amen 🤕

honestly the reason why i always mention their age is because the reason behind their fall out was a HUGE misunderstanding plus a bit of a game from a third party and thats why i need you guys to know why they never takked about it: they were just babies and just didnt know how to communicate and as they grew okder that lack of communication turned into full blown hatred 😭 i do think i will cry but honestly idk if it'll be enough to get to you guys 🫠

ensies, ipeunies, hypens – i LOVE THEM ALL THEY REALLY AR EMY BABIES :(

hadesgame experiences sofar:

ares has continued to try to fuck my stepmom.

athena may also want to fuck my stepmom

endgame romances with megaera vs thanatos is megaera having exhausted most of her storylines so she just shows up to chill in the lounge and make snippy little comments and fuck. meanwhile thanatos is embroiled in so many storylines that more than a 100 runs in hes STILL showing up to argue with zagreus and then bounce. he has NOT fucked since the first time.

turns out gods get progressively angrier the more you ignore them in godcompetitions. in dialogue and in the difficulty of their encounters. poseidon is fucking furious at me. i htink i will choose him when he shows up again

BOULDY SPOILERS UNDER CUT ?

i befriended sisyphus last and wasnt really interested by him at all tbqh. but after a certain point he introduces you to his boulder which he has named bouldy and anthropomorphized. this opens the interaction options “Talk?” and “[Nectar]?”. you can then talk to bouldy and, if you so choose, gift bouldy a nectar. nothing happens. obviously. theres some fun dialogue from sisyphus and zagreus about how happy sisyphus is that youre bonding with bouldy and zagreus just vaguely entertaining his nonsense. you run out of dialogue after a couple times and the nectar also doesnt do shit EXCEPT a little heart icon/animation appears like every other character in the game that has a friend meter. bouldy does not appear in achilles’ codex. im intrigued by the animation however and continue to give nectars to see if theres a secret little thing u can unlock if u do. nothing happens. i have given like 10 nectars at this point. i already have sisyphus and bouldys cthonic companion so it cant be that. i lose interest and figure its just a fun little joke animation they threw in. fast forward endgame and i have a lot of nectar at this point so theres no reason for me to not throw a nectar in every time i come across sisyphus. like as in i have 70 nectars rn. so why not. about a 120 ish runs in, i give a nectar to bouldy, as per usual. and for the first time in many, many runs, zagreus finally says a new piece of dialogue: “huh?”. you notice something has changed in your boon icons. there is something there that you dont think was there before. you open your boon menu.

there is a new boon. it is called “Heart of Stone: You believe in Bouldy, and Bouldy believes in you.” it says it gave you 5%+ movement speed.

CUT TO EVEN FURTHER DOWN THE LINE (but only about a handful of runs this time). you have received several bouldy boons at this point. he bestows one every time you gift a nectar to various effects, not just move speed. there is new dialogue from sisyphus. you talk to him. he asks you, concerned and a bit hesitant, if you’re aware that, well...bouldy isn’t REALLY alive. obviously. you know he can’t really respond right? he asks while you sit with your 2% damage reduction boon (you believe in bouldy, and bouldy believes in you) just There in your boonlist. zagreus is kind of indignantly like oh come on sisyphus, i know better than that. of course bouldys real! i believe in bouldy.

oh shit, i think. did sisyphus really not believe in bouldy all this time?? has zagreus accidentally Created life from bouldy from his continuous devotion/offerings??

NO. SISYPHUS IS LIKE HAHA I KNOW, IT JUST MAKES BOULDY SO MAD WHEN I SAY STUFF LIKE THAT. JUST TEASING YOU, BOULDY, YOU KNOW I LOVE U  BESTIE (?????????????????????????)

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Can I request a Leo Valdez imagine pls? Just something fluffy and cute, where he likes you and you like him but you're both too stubborn and clueless to admit to your feelings so you just kinda joke and flirt, nothing serious, meanwhile everyone is like 'omg just kiss already!!'

Thank you <3

Catch the flag.

in which you and Leo like each other, and during a catch the flag game, he gets hurt and you almost end Clarisse 😳

word count: 1420~

trigger warnings: none?? slight angst i guess, happy ending tho

for plot reasons, the reader is one of Persephone’s children (so cabin 40)

im in such a Leo mood lately send help my way ! ✌🏼😔 this is probably not what you wanted BUT i got carried away and i couldn’t stop myself from the angst with happy ending. i hope you like it babes 💙

Catch the flag was everyone’s favorite activity at Camp. You, Annie and Percy had been put on the same team, and your best friend, Leo, was on the other.

You looked at him, your arrow pointing to his chest as Annabeth jumped from the tree you both were hiding on.

“Is this all you’ve got, cielo?”.

Annabeth almost threw up when Leo called you by that petname, tired of this constant flirting you both had going on, but none of you seemed to notice.

It was not a secret for anyone, that you and the boy liked each other.

You, however, ignored his question. Your eyes searched for the flag around the brunette, who Percy had guessed would be around it, because of his fire abilities. If anyone could defend that flag, it had to be Leo. Also, he was way too noisy and giggly to try to make it to your team’s flag without being caught.

“Not here, if that’s what you’re here for”.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Valdez, I just wanted to see that pretty face of yours”, you replied, putting down your bow when Annabeth shook her head.

Leo chuckled, hands intertwined behind his head, and you rolled your eyes at him. But before you could turn around, you felt the pointy end of a sword against your lower back. Your eyes searched for Annabeth, and behind her, Clarisse held another sword.

“See? Told you little Y/n would come to Valdez. Jackson must be behind this, he knows we wouldn’t send Leo to get their flag”, she spoke, and Leo gasped, offended, “But I have an idea to find it”.

Clarisse kicked Annabeth’s leg, and when her knees hit the floor, you turned around, pointing your arrow at her.

“What are you doing, La Rue?”.

She ignored your question, her teammate, an Hermes daughter, looking as confused as you were.

Clarisse always took these activities too seriously, and you feared that she’d harm Annabeth to win, knowing Percy would come to find her.

“Valdez, the flag, is it safe?”, she ignored you, as her sword remained against the blonde’s back.

“Yeah— Yes, of course it is. And only I know where”.

The girl nodded, and she looked at the sky, like watching time pass. Her teammates were looking for the flag, and she had a new strategy to force your team to leave it unprotected.

Leo gave you a look, your bow still up, and you looked back at him, pouting slightly.

He shook his head, and you frowned, pouting again.

You didn’t need to speak to communicate with him, and something inside of his chest warmed at your soft face. He felt the urge to tell you were the flag was, but he knew better than to fuck up Clarisse’s plan.

“Annabeth, Y/n!”, Percy’s voice broke the silence, the dark haired boy followed by Ellis Wakefield, son of Ares.

You could swear Leo looked happy to see him near the flag and you two, even though it meant his team could lose.

“We have the whole team here, look at that!”, Clarisse said, her comment being a hidden attack to the rest of your teammates, “You’re so predictable, Jackson. You don’t see these two for more than two minutes and you forget about your mission… nothing new on you, though”.

Annabeth gave you a look, her eyebrows furrowed, and you turned to look at the son of Poseidon, his expression tense. Clarisse always knew how to piss him off.

“Ellis, find the flag, it’s near. Leo’s face says it all”.

You smiled at Percy, and he gave you a small grin, even though his eyes went back to his girlfriend a second later.

The daughter of Ares smirked, enjoying the fact that she knew how to find all of Percy’s buttons. She twisted a finger around a strand of Annabeth’s hair, yawning.

“It’s exhausting, Jackson, to see you fail at being a leader every single time”.

Leo frowned at her words, stepping closer to you, and you did the same, noticing how tense the situation was getting.

“Can’t even lead your girl to a damn fla—”.

Before Clarisse could finish her sentence, Percy had thrown himself against her, his very limited patience being finally over. Annabeth got up, and tried to pull him away from the girl, but they were throwing punches at each other like their lives depended on it.

“Perce, stop! That’s what she wants!”, you yelled, throwing your bow to a side and beginning to move towards them.

A hand grabbed your wrist, pulling you back, and Leo run to the fight, grabbing the blue eyed boy’s arm, pulling him from Clarisse, not without receiving the last punch and falling to the floor.

“Leo!”, your voice overlapped the girl’s and your friend’s arguing, as you dropped on the floor next to the curly haired boy.

His nose was dripping blood, and you looked at him with worry, before you felt your own start to boil under your skin.

You looked at Clarisse from the floor, the girl laughing at you two, and you got up, arms raising as you did.

You had an ability not all Persephone children had: geokinesis. Under the girl’s feet, the ground opened and closed again, trapping her from waist down.

Clarisse looked at you with anger, which soon turned into slight fear as the ground kept closing around her, squishing her a little at first, then starting to hurt.

But you didn’t care, she had hurt Leo. She had hurt him, right in front of your eyes.

“Y/n that’s enough!”, Annabeth’s voice filled your ears, but you ignored her, anger taking over you.

Clarisse let out a pained groan, as she tried to escape and free herself, but the more she moved, the tighter the ground trapped her.

“Hey, hey!”.

Something inside of you clicked at the sound of Leo’s voice, and the boy put his hand on your cheek, standing now between you and the Ares daughter.

“Y/n, let go of her. You’re hurting her, mi amor, come on”.

There was softness in his voice, and your arms dropped to your sides, a frown appearing in your face as you realised what you had done.

However, before you could apologise, Clarisse had already run away, followed by her brother and the Hermes child. Percy was a few meters away, checking on Annabeth, both of them looking at you with worry, but nodding at Leo and walking away to give you some space.

You groaned, shaking your head, and your eyes met Leo’s. He was still cupping your face, a worried expression on his face.

“Damn, mi amor… That was dark”, he gave you a small smile, whipping the blood from his upper lip with the back of his free hand.

“I— uh. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt her, just—“, you struggled to explain it, “She hurt you”.

Leo was nothing but shocked when you said that, and his eyes filled with softness, as he run his thumb over your cheekbone.

“Thank you for defending my honor, cielo… But I am alright, really”.

You nodded slowly, your eyes going from his to his lips in just a second, the proximity of his body to yours, and the situation just lived making your heart beat faster than anytime before.

The brunette looked at your lips too, meeting your eyes once again, but leaning closer this time, and you started to close your eyes, your hands moving to the back of his head.

His breathing caressed your lips, and you got on your tiptoes…

“Y/n, Annabeth! Percy! We have it, we found the fla—“, Kayla Knowles’ voice interrupted you, the flag in her hand.

You pulled away from Leo, both of you nervously clearing your throats, and the daughter of Apollo gasped, her eyes then fixing on the couple behind you and Leo.

Annabeth rolled her eyes, and Percy groaned, annoyed.

“Shit, Kayla, we’ve been waiting for this moment for months!”, he complained.

You laughed at his comment, and Leo scratched the back of his head nervously, turning around to leave.

“Where do you think you’re going, Valdez?”, this time it was Annabeth, and Leo grabbed your hand, starting to run away, “Come back here you two! I’ve waited enough already!”.

She seemed pissed off for real, Perce’s laughter muting her scolding. But with your hand in Leo’s, running through the forest, Annie’s anger was the last of your thoughts.

The Last Olympian Thoughts

So because I have absolutely 0 self-control or restraint when it comes to this series and its characters, and for The Last Olympian in particular, I could not put TLO down. Because of this I figured I couldn’t do the usual photo reaction posts I have been so far, because the spam would just be ridiculous, so I am stealing the idea from @yourstrulytaaay​ to do a masterpost instead. (Adding a Read More cause this got ridiculously long)

Fun fact, TLO came out right after i finished reading the series for the first time so it's the first PJO book i bought  and my only hard cover one for the og series. I checked the year and turns out it was published 2009, which means i was actually 9 when i read the series for the first time. I realize this is not really a fun fact but i thought i was older when I first read the series so it's blowing my mind a little ‘cause now I’m 21 and everything hits different and i still have so much love for this series and the characters Okay onto book thoughts: - i was right that this book is gonna destroy me, the first line alone made me so excited and nostalgic it's ridiculous - I love Rachel and Percy sm tbh. Her being a bit of peace and normalcy in his life without always reminding Percy of who and what he is is so good for him. Just a little escape

- of course by the end of the book that's not the case any more but by the end he's lived his prophecy so he doesn't need it as badly, plus he and Annabeth are solid again - Percy saying Annabeth has been hard to be around lately... Ouch my heart. Luke really is the last thing that keeps them from being together and Percy is so jealous and Annabeth so torn and in pain, i feel so bad for them both

- Beckendorf 🥺🥺 - the telkhine with the Lil Demon lunchbox!! I forgot about him. Percy: 'i left him alive, partly because his lunchbox was cool' is one of my absolute favourite lines tbh - Paul taking Percy crabbing and being imperative in helping Percy kill the giant crab 💖 Paul Blofis is important and deserves the world, okay? - aw Percy, you can't save every demigod bb

- 'i had to fight him eventually. Why not now?... What difference would a week make?' Oh Percy you have no idea - real talk tho, the fact Kronos possessed Luke's body would also mess me tf up. Percy keeps forgetting it's not Luke anymore and yeah, that would be so so hard and confusing af, like what another smart little mind game for Kronos to pull on top of everything else - the fact Percy fights Kronos before getting the Achilles Curse and actually doesn't die within seconds is... Astounding. He kicks him in the chest! And yeah Kronos is weaker and still adjusting to Luke's body, but Percy is having trouble fighting Luke cause they used to be friends - Percy breaks Kronos' time magic!! Like?! Boy is POWERFUL.

- OUCH - honestly Luke, Thalia and Annabeth's family breaking the way it did... Don't talk to me. Poor Annabeth, Luke betrayed them, Thalia joined the Hunters because of Luke's betrayal so she's pretty much AWOL all the time and then Luke dies. Like Rick wtf, my heart can't take it? -Percy and Tyson having each others backs when talking to Poseidon in the underwater palace is the brother-brother relationship we love to see - Percy trying to stick a sand dollar in the vending machines at school 🤦🏻‍♀🤦🏻‍♀ - the whole underwater interaction at Poseidon's palace? Perfection. Awkward family drama and all - Connor falling out of the tree when he sees Percy because he's so excited 😂😂

- 😭💖

- k, ik Clarisse isn't perfect but tbh if i was a child of Ares whose father was disrespected and hated by my fellow campers (ares deserves it but still) and that disrespect trickled down to how the other campers treated ME (which if Percy is reliable here, it obviously does) then i would also be irritated at being used for muscle and nothing else? And just expected to fight with the people who act as if they'd rather not have Ares kids around the rest of the time. Like Clarisse isn't totally wrong - Percy reading the prophecy, seeing he's meant to die and just being like 'i do not see it' and refusing to outright think about it makes me so sad for him - (but it taints every action after and he's super reckless afterwards bc of it- including finally breaking and accepting the Achilles Curse) - (also him taking this as the last straw and finally beginning to show Annabeth how he really feels, cause fuck it, he's dying anyway) - Give me more info about Rachel's backstory and family Rick!! -  how did i forget Percy willingly eats chocolates that taste like cardboard because 'i didnt have anything against cardboard' like sir? Ik Silena didn't want them but still? - 'she'd always been cute, but she was starting to be seriously beautiful' STOP, MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT - Percy staring at Annabeth and forgetting what they're talking about cause hes so distracted 👌🏻

- hmm yeah... For some strange reason.... - i forgot how Percy totally bombs this convo bw them and now want to cry 😭 Annabeth is trying to talk about what's important and Percy, you sweet oblivious man, you're shooting her down without even realizing - love that they're both on the same wavelength tho. Percy two lines before, hmm it's cool to date ppl from other cabins, wonder why im thinking that around Annabeth, my best friend in the world, and then Annabeth a beat later, hmm, let me bring up Silena and Beckendorf and how it's important to be with the people you love when you have the chance, no way Percy will miss this huge hint right? - they're the best - k i honestly forgot Percy full on physically intimidates Leneus like that - luke telling his mom if he ran away the monsters wouldnt get her..i can just imagine luke crying when he says good bye before running away because he thinks it's his fault his mom is like that and he cant take care of and protect her anymore because it's too hard - uh oh now i have angsty pre-lightning thief luke fic inspo... Him, Thalia and Annabeth on the run... The ANGST -  Rick holds absolutely nothing back in this book and i am in pain - HESTIA!! 💖💖🥰 - actual loml - i love that Rick titled this book after her and that he wrote such a great series about the importance of family (biological, found or otherwise) and home, and that he said actually Hestia is the most important bc shes the most humble and keeps the peace and knows when to fight and when to yield and you protect what you love, which is your home - i just... Adore Hestia - Grover! Missed you babes - Hades is so so horrible to Nico, always comparing him to Bianca :/ - but i do love Hades, Persephone and Demeter together they make me laugh - oh god the River Styx - Achilles 🥺 - Annabeth being Percy's lifeline is, and continues to be, A Lot™ - 'my name was Percy Jackson. I reached up and took Annabeth's hand.' LOL Why am i crying? - Like the fact there is no Percy without Annabeth, and that remembering her literally reminded him of who he is in his very soul... It's fine im fine - i won't even get into the parallels of her being his lifeline now and then later when Hera takes his memories but leaves the memory of Annabeth for Percy to fight to get back to (anyone who wants to yell about it with me... Feel free to message) - badass Percy is my fav Percy tbh - him defeating Hades?? Like? Hades is arguably the most powerful god, okay - i feel bad for Nico but if i was Percy I'd do the exact same, Nico, sorry man but this is a high stakes time crunch deal and Nico is literally the only hope of persuading Hades and distracted by his own internal stuff - flashbacks to Luke, Thalia and Annabeth hurt, ow - George and Martha are the best - damn i forgot Hermes full on nearly kills Percy here, yikes - Luke stop cockblocking Percabeth challenge

- i love!! Percy's love for New York!! So much!! - Percy leaving to live in New Rome in HoO is a lie and this is all the proof i need for why - the fact the entire last half of the book is the battle and aftermath... Such great buildup and pacing. All the tricks and twists and battles in this War of Manhattan? I would not take out a thing, Rick, you legend - of course then the final battle in hoo with the gods is what? Two pages? Ugh, don’t talk to me about my hatred for BoO and HoO - 'no detours you two' is still the cutest thing!!! - THE HUNTERS!! Thalia i missed you - good job Percy, you finally spent your sand dollar - Minotaur!! - 'dont i get a kiss for luck? Its kind of a tradition right?' Percy finds out he's gonna die and is out of fucks to give and honestly I support him - also Michael just standing beside these two while they're flirting like umm 👀 👀 while a monster army marches towards them, nbd - Annabeth taking Ethan's knife meant for Percy!!! Cause she just knows his weak spot without him even telling her! They literally invented love - Feral Percy is so scary omg, i love how well Rick incorporates the Achilles Curse in this novel, with the whole heightened weaknesses and stuff ans the parallels to Achilles arrogance being what killed him and Percy's loyalty, fierceness and protective instinct being his own heightened weakness - the fact that Percy is the one who inadvertantly kills Michael Yew tho, I'll never recover from that - the fact Hades offers Maria di Angelo a golden palace by the Styx like how Poseidon offers Sally a palace under the sea tho. Let's talk about that parallel - the entire talk with Prometheus is so so good - not me picturing young Luke hiding in the closet to get away from his mom when she has an 'episode' -i love callbacks in stories and all of the callbacks to the rest of the series in this book make me very happy (medusa, minotaur, the underworld, Rainbow!! My baby!!, Daedalus and more) - Percy summoning a wholeass hurricane against Hyperion - the Party Ponies! They're so chaotic, i love it - Dionysus! 😁 I can't help it, i love him - Percy absolutely losing it when he sees Sally and Paul asleep in the car 🥺 - Rachel telling Percy he's not the hero screws with him so much :( poor bb - although i really really love how Rick wrote this, it's so refreshing to not have one chosen one save the world, but a combination of people - the drakon, Silena and Clarisse make me cry - the Patrochilles references, im not okay - Annabeth giving up on Luke after hearing what he did to Silena and Percy telling her that doesn't make him happy 😭 that whole interaction makes my heart ache - Percy giving Hestia Pandora's pithos 🥺 - and Hades, Nico and the others coming for a final attack is so badass, i love it - listen im glad the og trio were the ones to confront Luke on Olympus but the fact Thalia got so close and then pinned by a statue of HERA makes me so sad. Ik her and Luke were finished and she coped by cutting him off completely and giving up all hope but i would pay money to know what they would have said to each other to say goodbye - Ethan 🥺 - Poseidon joining the fight against Typhon is so cool, such a great scene - 'PEANUT BUTTER!' - Annabeth you brilliant badass you - RIP Luke, you werent great but you werent the worst either - the gods just rolling up seconds too late, wondering wtf happened in Olympus and who the dead body is - the chapter where the Olympians meet and give out rewards is one of my absolute favourites (again i am incensed we didn't get anything like this in HoO) - will Percy turning down immortality ever not make me scream in glee? No? Alright then - Annabeth being relieved like Percy was relieved at the end of Titan's Curse tho - oh Hermes :/ - its so hard reading all this and knowing what comes in HoO... Like it's such a cathartic, earned and mostly happy and peaceful ending and then HoO comes along and undermines it all - aww Rick let Paul see Olympus somehow pls, he deserves it, he killed a dracanae - (i would also love to see it) - Percy being more upset Rachel took his pegasus than her going to Camp and possibly dying, lol, priorities dude - i honestly think that Rick had other ideas for the second Great Prophecy and how things would go down in BoO, cause the prophecy like... Barely applies to BoO, Doors of Death are in book four, and explabations of it is all so unclear when Rick is usually pretty good with that stuff - PERCABETH - lol Percy complaining about privacy when he and Annabeth are caught kissing literally in the middle of the very open and public dining pavilion, okay - BEST UNDERWATER KISS OF ALL TIME - that's it and im a glass case of emotion - very happy to say that this series remains my favourite of all time 💖

 If anyone ever wants to come gush about anything Riordanverse related feel free, because as you can see I have a lot of thoughts about it all

Series masterlist

Summary: Ben and (Y/n) are in a great place in their marriage but (Y/n) starts to get worried when she has a stalker who starts to get very obsessive over her and who seems to know a lot about her.

Enjoy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A curious smile formed on Ben's lips as he watched (Y/n) bite her lip for what had to be the hundredth time tonight. The way she pulled at her lower lip and bit and fiddled with her fingers told him she was either excited or panicked about something. But when he noticed her eyes zoning out and her lips twitching like she wanted to smile, he knew it was something exciting rather than worrying and that made him relieved yet intrigued.

Ben's eyes narrowed in concentration, his vision solely focused on his wife who he followed from the dining room through into the lounge. He noticed the way she was very light on her feet like she was jumping or walking on springs and she was very quick to sit on the sofa and curl her legs up beneath her.

Holding his breath, Ben put his drink down on the coffee table before he sat down next to her. Something was up and he was very curious to know what it was.

"Alright, come on. What's up with you tonight?" Ben curled one leg beneath him before he leaned over until he was inches away from (Y/n). He narrowed his eyes with a smile playing on his lips as he reached his hand out to pull (Y/n)'s lower lip from beneath her teeth. He knew well enough to know she wasn't biting her lip out of anxiety but he still would rather she didn't take a layer of skin off because she was excited over something.

"Hm?" (Y/n) locked eyes with Ben and took a sip of her drink. The way he was looking at her made her stomach flip and her chest fill with air like she was a balloon about to fly away.

She had been thinking all day about how to tell him but she couldn't think of anything except for blurting out the news. She couldn't sugar coat it very well, she didn't want to play games and make Ben guess what she was talking about and (Y/n) didn't want to make it a massive fuss. That left her with very little options about how to tell him but it still made her chest tingle with butterflies because she couldn't wait to see what his reaction would be. All night and day (Y/n) had been thinking non-stop about this and Ben had picked up on it very quickly.

"You're jumping around like you're on a spring tonight, something's on your mind."

A shudder ran down (Y/n)'s spine as she knew this was the moment, she had to tell him now and that only made her heart race and steal what little breath she held within her lungs.

Ben's curiosity grew when he watched (Y/n) put down her drink before she shuffled closer until there was almost no space between them anymore. He pressed his lips together to smother a smile and his eyes narrowed as (Y/n) seemed to suddenly think better of where she was sitting. Ben's brows rose and he tipped his head back until his head was pushing into the back of the sofa when (Y/n) crawled onto his lap. She pressed her knees into the sides of Ben's thighs and hooked her arms loosely around his neck as he wound his arms around her waist, resting his hands on her lower back.

"I have something to tell you."

"Oh really, and what's that then?"

(Y/n) smoothed her thumbs over the back of Ben's neck, feeling him shiver against her as she tickled his skin near his hair that was shaved very short at the back.

"Since we're gonna have a baby in a few months, I think it's time that we decorate the spare room, don't you?"

Pursing her lips, (Y/n) searched Ben's eyes eagerly for some sort of sign or emotion as she waited very impatiently for a response. Her teeth moved to bite down on her lip again when she watched Ben's eyes widen and his lips part but he didn't say anything for a few seconds like he was on a delay in processing her words. But when everything seemed to run through his mind a few times, his fingertips pressed harder into her back and he pulled her flush against his chest causing (Y/n) to squeak.

"You're not tricking me, are you?" There was a small hint of apprehension in Ben's voice but the smile he was trying so hard to bite back showed just how nervous yet over the moon he was about this. Ben knew how cut up (Y/n) had been last time when they got a false positive and he knew that was making her anxious about finding out about any future pregnancies but she seemed very sure right now and she was happy. Seeing her smiling at him like this and seeing the light in her eyes made Ben's heart flip in his chest.

"No, we have a scan in two weeks to find out for sure but I'm pretty positive." (Y/n) leaned her forehead against Ben's, trying to imprint the image of his smile into her mind so she would never forget it because she had never seen him smile like that.

"I love you."

A shiver ran down (Y/n)'s spine at the way he said those words before he pressed a rather bruising kiss to her lips and slipped his hands under her shirt causing cold shivers to run along the base of her spine. He glided his fingers up along the middle of her spine, feeling the columns and ridges and the way (Y/n) moved and shivered against the odd but much welcomed touch.

All the air seemed to evaporate from her lungs when Ben swiftly turned to the side and laid (Y/n) down on the sofa on her back so he was hovering over her, laid between her legs. (Y/n) tightened her arms around his neck and hooked her legs around his torso tightly out of instinct.

Ben had a catfish grin on his lips that made (Y/n) narrow her eyes quizzically at him. He had so many different smiles and (Y/n) knew what most of them meant or referred to but sometimes when he smiled at her like that, she had no clue what he was up to or about to do and it made her nervous in the best kind of way. She watched with anticipation that made her hold her breath when he kissed down her neck before moving back until he could lean down and roll up the hem of her shirt, but he didn't take it off.

(Y/n)'s breathing came to an abrupt stop when she felt Ben's fingertips ever so lightly grazing over her stomach before he leaned down to press butterfly kisses against her stomach. His lips felt like the end of a feather was being glided over her skin and it made her stomach suck in and jump from the ticklish feeling that sent her nerve-ends on fire in the best possible way.

Ben liked the feeling of (Y/n)'s stomach jumping and sucking in beneath him, he liked the way she responded to his touch and hearing her breathing become quicker made him smile against her skin.

"I have a good feeling about this."

"Really?" (Y/n)'s voice was quiet but there were too many emotions in her eyes and expression for Ben to figure out and take in. But the way she was looking at him told him all he needed to know. He hummed in response with a nod of his head before he leaned back down to press another gentle kiss to her stomach.

"Let me show you much I love you." His words made (Y/n)'s heart jump right up into her throat and constrict her breathing. It didn't matter how long they had been together nor how many times they had been intimate, (Y/n) always managed to find those butterflies that swarmed through her stomach and her heart always started to beat that much faster in her chest.

(Y/n) arched her back up to let Ben pull the rolled up shirt up and off her frame before he discarded it somewhere in the room and his lips instantly connected back to hers like being parted for too long physically hurt.

In that moment, (Y/n) knew that nothing could make her feel more on top of the world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With a sigh, (Y/n) slowly descended down the stairs as she gathered her hair in her hands, pulling the strands away from her eyes that were struggling to stay open. The one thing (Y/n) really didn't like about her job was having to get up early in the morning when she was not a morning person at all.

But as she headed down the stairs in what felt like a sleepwalk, (Y/n) couldn't help but smile as a giddy feeling sparked in her stomach when she thought of last night. She was sure that their scan in two weeks would confirm her suspicions, she was even starting to feel uneasy in the morning about breakfast and sometimes dinner didn't make her feel so good either. Ben was over the moon about this and once they knew for sure, they could start thinking and then preparing everything.

(Y/n) rubbed at her tired eyes to try and wake herself up a bit more before she made her way over to the front door to grab the morning post. Looking through the letters, (Y/n) set two of them down on the side table to deal with later. Formal letters about bills weren't something she could read or concentrate on at this time in the morning. She put Ben's letter on the pile as well which just left her with one letter in her hands for her.

It didn't look like something formal, it was hand-written and it wouldn't be anything from work because she knew Claire wrote all the letters from work and her handwriting was very hard to understand.

Rubbing the letter between her fingers, (Y/n) headed through the hall into the kitchen to get a drink. She didn't feel like breakfast, especially not this early in the morning and the smell of coffee wasn't very appealing right now either so she settled on a glass of juice.

(Y/n) sat down at the island in the middle of the kitchen and arched her back out to try and click it into place before she opened the envelope. It was a pale cream colour which (Y/n) liked, normally with plain white envelopes marks or smudges of ink and fingerprints could be seen and that annoyed her to no end.

Taking a sip of her drink as she read the letter was a grave mistake because the juice seemed to turn to acid running down her throat and it made her throat constrict and her chest tighten in shock as she choked on her drink and anxiety. Not a letter too. She had gotten no end of texts before she blocked the number, she had gotten an email from an address she quickly blocked but a letter was so much worse. A letter proved that this person did know her and they knew where she lived. Someone sending her strange messages that knew where she lived was a sign of danger to (Y/n).

'Alright (Y/n),

I could kind of see why you'd block my texts since your married to him, and I'll admit it hurt when you didn't say one thing back to me. And blocking my email, that was rude. But after all I've done for you, all the times I try really hard to talk to you and be there for you, and you go and fuck him last night and act like I don't exist.

I bet he doesn't even know about me, does he?

Do you think you can just ignore me and pretend like I'm not real? I've tried to forgive you but it makes me beyond the point of anger that you're ignoring me for him, and that you won't respond to me at all. I haven't done anything to warrant this, not like you have. You parade yourself about with him, you flaunt yourself and he flaunts you on his arm and then you let him fuck you on the sofa without one thought of me.

You can't keep shutting me out, you really need to start talking to me now because I can't keep forgiving you.

I love you, Beautiful.'

He was watching her. He knew where she lived and he was watching her last night, there was no other way he would have known about her and Ben having sex last night unless he had been watching them.

This person knew her name, her number, her email, he knew where she lived, he knew she was married and he was now watching her when she was at home, the one place she felt truly safe all the time. How could home be a safe place now that someone knew where she lived and was trying to watch her through the windows like her life was a movie on a tv screen? How could (Y/n) go out and talk to anyone or go anywhere when this person could be following and watching her?

He was jealous when he had no right to be. (Y/n) wasn't in love with him or having an affair or any kind of relationship with him. She was married to Ben, she had every right to be with him out in public and in the safety of their own home that they shared. It wasn't wrong or like she was cheating on anyone when Ben was the one that she loved and was married to.

The thought of someone watching her like that kept rolling around and around in (Y/n)'s head. How could someone do that, how could someone watch her like they had every right to know what she was doing and witness it first hand? How could someone spy on her when she was in her own home and being intimate like that?

(Y/n) pressed both hands to her mouth like she was trying to smother herself as tears blurred her eyes that snapped shut so she didn't have to look at the scrawled handwriting or the furious words that were angry at her for living her own life the way she wanted. Her palms didn't smother the whining cry that left her lips no matter how forcefully she pressed her hands to her mouth or how she contorted her body to fold in on itself.

He was watching her because he thought he had the right. He thought his warped affection and feelings for her gave him the right to watch her having sex with her husband like he had a claim to (Y/n).

Stumbling from her seat, (Y/n) scuffed her toes against the tiled floor as she skidded over to the sink in time to throw up.

She could feel herself trembling and her skin started to prickle as her insides felt like they were on fire but her body was forming a cold sweat. Her head started to spin like a washing machine, tumbling around all the thoughts of what this person had done and what he wanted from her. Why (Y/n)? She wasn't different, she wasn't special or amazing or perfect or someone to be admired. She wasn't any different from anyone else, she wasn't a celebrity or had a job that made her admired like Ben. She was like everyone else, there was nothing that should signal her out in the crowd or make her deserve this.

(Y/n) threw up whatever contents her stomach had but it made her feel so much worse. She felt like she was dying, like her body was overheating and about to shut down from shock.

This wasn't fair.

Why would someone think this was acceptable or a kind thing to do? Why would sending her worrying texts and letters and spying on her be a nice thing to do when this person claimed they were in love with her? This wasn't something people did when they loved someone who didn't love them back, this wasn't something people did when they loved someone, period.

Pulling up from the sink, (Y/n) buried her face in her hands but tears kept falling rapidly from her eyes and her body continued to shake. She didn't want this, it wasn't fair it wasn't nice and it was cruel.

Before (Y/n) registered what she was doing she reached out beside the sink and curled her fingers around a glass before spinning on her heels and lurching the glass down against the floor with a force she didn't know she had. The glass splintered and shattered against the tiles before spreading out like water from a sprinkler, jetting across the floor and sitting in the cracks between the tiles.

A scream left (Y/n)'s lips before she slid down to sit on the floor, pulling her knees up to her stomach and wrapping her arms around them to keep herself small and compact. She buried her head into her knees to try and smother her cries but it didn't work very well.

"Babe what the fuck? (Y/n), what's happened?" Ben danced his petrified eyes around the kitchen, trying to take everything in before he cautiously kneeled down on the floor next to (Y/n). He'd been two seconds away from getting in the shower when he heard (Y/n) scream and when he heard something shattering he thought there was an intruder.

The way (Y/n) was holding herself and crying told Ben it wasn't something like an intruder or a relative dying but it was different and worse than a panic attack which he was able to deal with. (Y/n) wasn't unable to breathe or function, she was screaming about something that Ben couldn't figure out and the shattered glass on the floor implied (Y/n) was enraged more than hurt or scared.

"Babe, I need you away from that glass so I'm gonna move you. Can you tell me what's happened please?"

Ben rested his hands under (Y/n)'s arms so he could pull her up with him, he didn't like her sitting so close to the glass that might already be embedded into her skin and he didn't want her within range of throwing anything else and hurting herself.

He slowly walked (Y/n) to the other side of the kitchen but Ben froze for a second when (Y/n) tore herself out of his grip. He watched her wrap her arms around her chest and dig her nails into her upper arm and at any moment he swore she would start rocking herself back and forth to try and calm down. Ben didn't understand what was happening but he needed (Y/n) to talk to him, for the past week or two she had been worried about something and panicking and it was starting to scare him.

"What's happened, I can't help if you don't talk to me. Is it this?" Ben scanned his eyes around the kitchen wildly before he noticed a letter sitting discarded on the counter.

The moment Ben looked between (Y/n) and the letter he saw it. The spark of fear in her eyes that made his stomach tense and his heart shudder in his chest. Whatever was wrong was because of that letter.

When Ben moved to get the letter (Y/n) stumbled to take it first. She knew Ben had to find out but she didn't want him to read the letter, it was vulgar and crude and insinuated she was cheating when she wasn't. It was horrid and Ben would find the temper he rarely had if he read that letter. (Y/n) would rather tell him what was happening than have him read that.

But as soon as (Y/n) managed to grab the letter, Ben circled his left arm around her waist to pull her back to his chest and he reached with his right hand to try and take the letter from her.

"Baby give it to me- give me the letter!" Ben curled his chest around (Y/n)'s back when she doubled over to try and get out of his hold but she wasn't quick enough. A sob bubbled past her lips when Ben snatched the letter and took a few steps away from her so she couldn't try and take it back. He moved around the kitchen to stop (Y/n) from reaching for the letter before he ended up holding his arm out like a defence movement so he could actually read what the letter was about.

But it was clear the moment he read it over that he was both confused yet understanding the situation. His emerald green eyes darkened until they were a very dark seaweed colour that almost looked black and his face started to blotch red from rage.

"What the fuck is this?" His voice was low and quiet but his tone showed there was more rage and anger inside of him than (Y/n) first thought, but none of that was directed at her. "(Y/n), what is this, what fucker sent this to you?"

"I- I don't know... I've been getting strange texts and then an email from someone but I don't know who it is. They kept saying how am I or have a good day but then they started getting angry asking why I wasn't replying. Ben they- they watched us..."

(Y/n) couldn't finish what she wanted to say due to the tears falling from her eyes and the pent up sobs that were blocking her windpipe. All she wanted to do was scream but she couldn't. Someone was invading their privacy and seemed to be very attached to (Y/n) but she had no idea who it was or why they were doing this. No one she could think of would stoop so low as to torment her like this, she didn't know anyone capable of being this twisted and cruel.

"Someone's been stalking you and you didn't think to tell me?"

"No- they weren't... it was just messages and I blocked them-"

"(Y/n) some sick fucker knows were we live and was clearly watching us have sex. That's a stalker and this twisted bastard has a thing for you. The letter says 'you let him fuck you on the sofa' and this guy thinks when I fuck you that you should be thinking of him. In fact he doesn't think I should be anywhere near you and I'm your husband!"

Ben didn't like the language that was used in the letter at all, it implied that Ben was some vicious or annoying person or just someone who (Y/n) shouldn't be around. And the wording was suggesting that (Y/n) shouldn't be with Ben and the person was jealous about their relationship. Stating that (Y/n) should think or give some kind of thought to this person when she had sex with Ben was warped and it was scary. Someone knew where they lived and was watching them and that told Ben that this was a stalker and they couldn't just ignore this.

He knew this was scary for (Y/n) and it was making her anxious and he understood that completely but she should have told him and they couldn't go on and ignore this, it had to be sorted out.

"I didn't think they would do something like this." (Y/n)'s voice was quiet and when she looked up at Ben through tears a sigh passed through his lips before he moved to wrap his arms around her. This wasn't (Y/n)'s fault and he couldn't blame her for trying to think this wasn't serious. She would feel bad if she made a big thing of it and it turned out to be something insignificant and Ben understood that.

"I know baby, I'm sorry. But they know where we live, they've been watching us and I don't fancy seeing this bastard's reaction to you being pregnant. If being with me clearly angers them, what's me getting you pregnant gonna do to them?" Ben's point made (Y/n) go rigid as she lost her breath for the second time in less than ten minutes.

He was right. How would this stalker react if they found out (Y/n) was pregnant with Ben and not them?

elotito tagged me on this so i’m gonna do it for her <33333

1. describe how you first started writing and when you first posted

i began to write in general since i was around 14 like any other emo kid kdjdjsks and o began to write fics when a friend asked me for one as a birthday present. it was written in a hurry and it’s not my favorite but i really enjoyed doing it. i posted that exact same fic on their birthday

2. which of your characters do you typically resonate most closely with? do you base any characters off of yourself?

it depends the fic i guess. and not really, i think the closest i’ve been to do that is in the rockstar au (coming to the @bottomlouisficfest very soon), i put one or two of my old insecurities in h so he could connect better and wouldn’t be persieved as just an asshole-y dude cause i don’t like that and louis don’t deserve that uwu🌸

music, movies, tiktoks (DONT JUDGE KDKDKS)

the easiest is the dialogues, i could write pages and pages of just dialogues in hours and the hardest is the smut dhjdd

it depends, is the antagonist? i ask myself how’d i feel if i were them, like a third party just trying (and usually failing) to get in between

13. what is your favorite and least favorite word?

i like “wet” i just... yeah.... and least favorite i don’t really know tbh

14. what is one thing about your writing that you’re really proud of and one thing you hope to continue working at?

i like that people conect with the characters because i always put a lot of effort in making them realistic (as much as i can), i make them flawled and sometimes even messy but with good hearts and intentions, all of them are (even the antagonists). and my grammar OH MY GOD MY GRAMMAR

15. what work of yours has your favorite ‘verse/world building? how did you come up with it?

hands down the ice prince fic. and funny thing is, i already had my prompt for the fic fest but i just couldn’t stop thinking about one particular prompt about a bratty prince and an alpha who hated omegas and the amount of POSSIBILITIES that had. two days later or so, the mods of the fest gave us the opportunity to pick another prompt if we wanted and the rest is HISTORY

19. what emotion is your favorite to write? which is the most difficult?

angst, sadness, anguish, sorrow, jealousy, i love to hurt hearts. and it’s not an emotion but after they get together it’s really difficult to me to actually keep going (oh god dkdkdkkdd)

20. what is one thing you hope readers always take away from your works?

that that’s okay to fuck up, that no matter the circumstances you have to respect your partner and TALK WITH THEM and that a person can be successful, independent and a badass while being soft and a c*mslut

21. what is the best and worst writing advice you’ve ever received?

i think “write whatever you like, you’re not being paid for it anyways” is the best and only advise i’ve actually listened to

22. which one of your works would you most want to see turned into a film/television show?

it’s complicated cause my two favorites are abos and idk how that would work dkskkss but the ice prince and the alpha/alpha fic

boost yourself + tags!

1a. share the last sentence you wrote

from the exes to lovers au:

The second hiccup of the night came in the form of his ex smiling to a boy sitting next to him on a couch. The boy had gorgeous, dark and wild hair, clear hazel eyes and a pretty pouty mouth. Their body language screamed attraction and that they both were ready to devour each other. Louis was familiar to the smile Harry was giving to him, bright and seductive, ready to give anything you asked for.

2a. describe the wip you’re most excited about

3a. share the piece of dialogue from one of your works you’re most proud of

from the alpha/alpha au:

“I’m not giving up on love,” He softly touched the hand that was still grabbing his thigh. “To me, love is like flowers. Each one needs a special treatment, if you give an orchid the same treatment you give to an iris, the orchid will die. Same thing with love. I’m not giving up on love, I’m just changing the treatment. We might not be an orchid, but we could make such a pretty iris.”

4a. share the best first and last lines from your work(s)

favorite first line from the sugar baby au:

Powerful people only end up with powerful people. The rest are just playthings in their lives. Louis Tomlinson was many things, but he wasn’t anybody’s plaything.

“Who would have guessed…” Harry whispered after a while, smiling against Louis’ lips. “the dragon finally got to keep the princess.”

Also looking for a growing together fic where peeta and katniss are painting a room ar one point and they get in a paint fight, at the end when peeta has katniss over his shoulder she draws a heart in paint on his lower back

494. theman189-blog said:

Hi there, just read a fic where katniss and peeta were peacekeepers and fall in love called protect and serve, and I could have sworn there was another one where they're peacekeepers and fell in love but had a more concrete ending and I cant remember it... any thoughts?

493. breakmeaswitchson said:

Hi! So I posted asking about this on a sub in Reddit and got directed here, it's not specifically an Everlark one (I don't think) but if you could help I'd be so thankful! Basically, it took the characters from the 74th Hunger Games, but the twist was that they all had to work together in designated groups? And (I think) weren't allowed to turn on each other until nobody else was left. I'm pretty sure Rue and Clove were on a team together, and I think the setting involved abandoned buildings.

492. jayana90 said:

Hi! I'm looking for a specific fic from Peeta's POV. I read it about a year ago & now I can't find it. It begins at his house in 12 with his family, then traces nearly all of the Hunger Games trilogy. It ends with a chapter with Peeta & Katniss living in 12 years later with their kids and a bakery. I think they loved cheese bread? It was really long and so good, I hope to find it again. V smutty.

Hello! This is actually the first time I'm posting a question, I usually enjoy doing the detective work.

Peeta is living with his girlfriend Delly but during one of his baking workshops discovers that this longtime best friend Katniss is in love with him (she has him as her phone screen saver).

So I’ve been craving to read this fic that hopefully I didn’t make up and I’ve been trying to remember it’s name. All I remember is that Katinss and Gale(I think) are dating but when Gale would go to sleep Katinss would text Peeta. I’m pretty sure they were coworkers and couldn’t date bc of this. I know that she broke up with Gale but that’s all that my brain can remember. I’m sorry if this is vague or you can’t find it. I just wanted to read this again. Thanks for all you do for the community❤️

476. nikki-pondtheauthor said:

hey im curious if there are fanfics in which peeta learns how to use a bow and shoot arrows (taught by katniss). bonus if he does this in hunger games. im sure ive a read a fanfic before, that was awesome in my opinion because it is a bit out of character for him but highlighting the fact that he is a survivor too and can handle weapons even if he is more a friendly persona

475. white-dandelion-seeds said:

Do any of these fics ring a bell? Please let us know!

genshin anon! oops turns out i totally forgot to respond lol. yeah the sacrificial is nice. ive got the bow, claymore, and catalyst. almost have 2 r5 catalyts as well.... oo that's nice! yeah xiao has kind of turned into my not used character as well which is kind of sad. i love him so much. but hu tao doing 30k+ crit up to 50k is uh... going well for me one might say. and yeah i also think the rate theyre doing things is okay. people constantly are at the game for not having end game content

lmaoo don’t worry about responding!! feel free to absolutely ghost me i’ll totally understand hehe <3

(2/5) but like.. the game isnt a year old yet. like half the game isnt even out yet. i get theres not a whole lot to do ar 45+ but :/ its a gacha game so its not really supposed to be a play for 8 hours a day thing. although i am torn on that. it is a gacha game but plays and acts like a 'proper' game so i get where everyone is coming from in that aspect. i am so in love with venti. mostly wanted him to collect everyone and for spiral abyss but damn i use him CONSTANTLY and i dont think i could

(3/5) ever not use him now. sucrose is great though! def try to get here she is such a great support! zhongli is so useful though haha. he kind of just fits in wherever. i cant wait for childe i so hope i get him. im saving up all these windblume primos for him haha. and hoping to get rosaria in the process (my pole arm team will almost be complete). yeah the windblume has been great! the STORY THOUGH. it made me so happy? haha. loved seeing all the characters again. and it was just a sweet

(4/5) story :'( the games are pretty cool too! im not a big fan off the freefall one though. the other two are great. and peculiar wonderland! that one is a lot of fun in coop! i kind of really want them to keep the dandelions floating around in mondstadt? they look so nice. oh nice! yeah polearms are fun haha. i used to use a lot of claymores but idk, im just not overly fond of how slow they are? plus none of them really -vibe- with me. xinyan is my fave out of them though. i just walk around

(5/5) with my faves and hope for the best :') chongyun and xingqiu bestest friends <3 that sounds funny ill have to be xingqui when i do chongyuns story quest lol. still havent done any of those but yeah its nice that they do let you skip what youve already done lol. yeah rosaria did show up in the windblume festival which i figured she would. got to remind everyone about her before she is released. did make me like her a bit more honestly. cant wait to (hopefully) get her! she seems like fun!

R5 DAMN.... i think my highest is like R2 lmao again weapons are like the last thing i invest in ajdfklaj i have like. two good swords and 2 good claymores and that’s it. my poor catalysts and bows.......

30-50k crit omg..... i only JUST got the achievement for like i think 20k+ damage with xiao the other day and it was during peculiar wonderland with the plunging/crit buffs LMAOOOO i am not a numbers type of gal </3 

yeah i’ve honestly seen a lot of gacha games that like fucked around before discontinuing and not making a dent in the story... not saying that i want that to happen to genshin of course (knock on wood) but just the rate they’re doing things is definitely fine lmao. and yeah sometimes i don’t even bother playing every day if i just don’t feel like it adfjklajd sure i’m losing primogems but also like. i’m tired bro lmao idk how people can spend hours every single day without just spending a copious amount of money on it. 

but it does definitely feel like more than a gacha game for sure. botw was popular for a reason and i must say genshin ripped it off well LMAO. ughhhh despite what i said i keep pulling for venti and I’VE GOTTEN NOELLE IN EVERY SINGLE 10 WISH THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS FJADKLFJSA i did get keqing for my pity though who i did also really want though so!!!! i guess i can be happy with that lmao although i wish at least 1 of my noelles was a sucrose or something...

and yes! even if it was just brief cameos i’m glad they brought a lot of characters in; really helps build the world especially seeing the friendships between certain characters! i know we got a spoiler in the trailer but i was so excited to just see like. diluc/kayea/rosaria together hahaha. and razor and bennet are so cute!! i think people already knew they were friends from their voicelines? but actually seeing them hang out together/interact really solidifies it. 

oh nice i’m not the only one who isn’t a fan of the freefalling one LMAO the others were a lot of fun tho <3 and yeah the dandelions are definitely really pretty!!!

ahh yeah i think with claymore users i tend to really focus more on their elemental skills/burst than them actually fighting lmao. like with chongyun at least he has a pretty fast cooldown compared to how long his skill lasts and just switch out with another character meanwhile. polearms are fun as well and xiao has been GREAT but i think i was also off put by how little damage my xiangling was doing when i first tried out polearms lmaooo

chongyun and xingqiu are really the best i love them so much... people keep comparing them to buzzfeed unsolved which i honestly haven’t really seen much of but it makes SO much sense especially since their whole thing is like. chongyun looking for evil spirits and xingqiu giving him shitty leads jasdkflsa. 

also idk if you’ve seen this but apparently the tassels they wear on their visions are friendship tassels they gifted each other and JDAFKLAJSKLFDSJ THAT’S SO CUTE GODDD

and yeah!!! again with the diluc/kayea/rosaria group i really want a storyline surrounding those 3 specifically lmao they seem so fun. i actually didn’t realize the similarities between kaeya and rosaria are until they were put together but aside from kaeya being more. idk flirty/extroverted lmao they actually have sort of similar like. idk. vibes? roles? jobs? way about doing things? and cryo users ofc

-showers you with affection

- "you're so lovely, lovely, lovelyyy~"

- ur entire support system and personal hype man

- you know that will smith meme with his wife? that's jimin with you basically

- you two are completely emo when he has to leave for tour, but thank god there's skype

-gets emo again when you have to hang up

("good night, good night! parting is such a sweet sorrow." - "jimin, did you... did you just quote shakespeare on me?? minie, we're gonna talk tomorrow, don't be sad!"- "😔😔😔😔😔😔😔" - "nooo minie😭😭😭😭😭" - "noooooo im happy, look ☺️☺️☺️☺️" - "ok good 💞" - "........(😔)"- PARK JIMIN" - "👼🏻")

- stalks all your social media when he's on tour but will never tell you, accidentally like your pic from like 42 weeks ago and screamed so loud hobi fell out of his bed

-you sent him a screenshot of the notification you got with a single "?" and jimin welcomed the sweet release of death (he left you on read and prayed you would forget about it)

-stops by at your place when he's back in the country and gives you a hug so tight it lowkey feels like u guys made out, FLIRTS and you're like "what are we?" and he's "what do you mean? :))) we're friends ofc :))))))" [libras.]

-also, he often invites you to dance practices and is extra flamboyant meanwhile

- "y/n, have you seen the flip? it was good right?" ( boy's got a big fat praise kink tbh)

"you looked so cool, minie ~'

*gets shy, hides his face, jumps through the room*

(& you'd ask yourself if this the same guy who stripped at MAMA)

- his duality is no joke, even in your guys' relationship it would be confusing as hell sometimes, yet exciting because he shows you different sides : childlike and carefree / serious and seductive

- lots of cuddles and giggles together

- goes above and beyond to make you happy and ready to cut a bitch when you're upset

- could charm your pants off, hypothetically speaking, but he's also shyyy mostly bc he's scared you might not like him the same way

-at the dorms he would get into this mood where he would do dramatic monologues about his feelings which would put shakespeare to shame tbh

-they almost always end up with him imagining that you might go for someone else

-one day the boys would encourage him to go for it and he'd muster up the courage and be like "fuck yeah im gonna confess" and then loses courage when yoongi said "do it before someone else does it" and everyone would be screaming bc they just got jimin to shut up about you and were about to end the daily tortured hero vibe jimin had lately by tricking him into confessing (& jimin spent days giving yoongi a look that straight up said "et tu, brute?")

-jimin spent the days after that contemplating if you would actually date him or if you would go for someone else

-he'd be all pouty and would also be touchier than usual, bc he would this physical contact as some sort of reassurance, in a way

-you couldn't quite understand what was going on with him but you reciprocated in every scenario and he was very pleased with that

-when you guys would chill on a sofa and watch tv, he'd lay down and rest his head on your lap and wouldn't say anything and continue watching TV, but he'd still wait for your reaction and sigh happily when you started playing with his hair

-he'd do these little tests to gauge your reactions and to see how you act towards him

-he'd ask a lot about how you feel about relationships and respect and all that, he'd also test you... physically. and by that I mean the sensual hugs, light touches on your thigh and and the looks you'd share meanwhile... the first time you two had dinner with the guys in a restaurant with dim lights. when you felt his hand on your thigh, you looked at him with a raised brow and this lil shit deadass SMIRKED at you but you knew that 2 can play this game and smirked back and moved his hand slightly up and jimin's soul almost left his body. "what are we, y/n?" he whispered to you. "you tell me", you whispered back, with a cunning smile on your lips. you excused yourself and got up from the table and jimin jerked that moment, as you put your hand on his thigh when you lifted yourself up. (jk to nj: i don't know what is going on there but I bet it's disgusting, nj: no, don't be like that, sj: no, he's right)

-jimin and you (and everyone else, for that matter) entered a weird stage where you legit didn't know wtf was happening between you

-everything moved fast and yet you didnt know if you guys were going somewhere with this but jimin sure acted like your boyfriend yet didn't go beyond flirting

-and this was getting tiresome for you, but you were still hoping tbh, but you thought that maybe... maybe you were just a welcome distraction for him in all his hectic schedule. but deep down you knew this was your insecurities speaking, but sometimes it got the better of you.

-and things took an ugly turn when jimin tested you again, but in the most stupid way you could ever "test" someone... you've guessed it..... through jealousy.

- that was bc jimin himself got jealous when you were hanging out with yoongi, mostly bc he also remembered what yoongi once said about someone snatching you away from him

-and jimin absolutely hated this situation.... he knew this was irrational and that you could hang out with whomever you wanted & yoongi's obviously like a brother to him..... but jealousy is a very ugly feeling that makes you feel ugly things

-and jimin didn't want neither yoongi nor you to see this side of him so he didn't say anything. he didn't speak to neither of you. was it a good solution? hell no & he knew that. but he had to deal with his temper somehow... he cut you short whenever you tried to talk to him, saying he's busy and such, but you knew he was lying to you for some reason but you still were patient and did your best not to drag him to hell and back for lying to and ignoring you, as he stopped texting you as well. he didnt speak more than necessary with yoongi who only kept his mouth shut bc they was another matter involved. jimin had the idea for this "last test" for you when a new staff member got flirty with him, during a bighit party. you were there, too, in the same room, to be precise and jimin knew this and saw a chance coming, as you were talking to yoongi again who glared back at jimin who intensely kept staring at you two. so this new + drunk staff member came along and started talking with him.... and giggling so obnoxiously that yoongi and you rolled with your eyes at the same time and started laughing when you realized it. jimin wasn't listening to anything in the first place but when he saw you two laughing, he had a snap decision, turned to the staff member and coyly smiled and started flirting. you watched the whole play & jimin knew it, so he added some light touches and nudges here and there and you could feel getting more upset with every minute of this shit-show you were witnessing. yoongi put his hand on your arm and turned you away from jimin and his bimbo and face him instead. you could feel your blood rush to your head which was also apparent to yoongi who consoled you, as he knew of your feelings. jimin mistook the whole situation once again and went for the worst move.

you saw yoongi's glare and turned around only to see jimin holding his little plaything by the waist and them swaying around together. the other members noticed too and namjoon took the lead and quickly moved jimin away from dispatch's newest headline in the making. you turned to yoongi again and said "i'm going home, yoongi, thank you", with a sad smile on your face, and left before he could answer. yoongi quickly rushed out after you, knowing damn well that you'd go home and cry. he managed to catch up and pulled you into a hug, away from all the noise. "that boy is an idiot, but he's so in love with you, trust me on that. he's just being stupid right now", he said patted your back and lowkey contemplating dissing jimin in agust d 2, when he heard the muffled sniffs coming from you. "Ohhh, yoongi-hyung, y/n, getting cozy, aren't we?" you heard jimin saying behind you. yoongi was about to yell at him, but you were quicker to turn around and BLASTED him, bc how tf does he dare to say something like this after what he just pulled inside and how tf can he be so rude to yoongi and most importantly why tf would you listen to him after blatantly ignored you over the past weeks??? jimin went silent after your rant and let his head sink. "i'm sorry..." he said, "i'm sorry to both of you. i don't know how to explain it... but i felt angry when I saw you two so close. i know it's stupid and I know that you guys can be friends, obviously... it's so irrational and I don't even know why i did that earlier. i guess I wanted you to feel what I feel when I see you close with another man, y/n...". this voice got hoarse the more spoke and you knew that he too was about to cry. you knew he was regretful. it didn't justify that he was a dick to you, but you could see where he was coming from and understood that this feeling can make you do irrational things. "jealousy," yoongi said with a stern voice "is a really ugly trait, jimin. you should have known neither of us would ever go behind your back. for your information, y/n confided in me. your best friend is in love with you and you, dumbass, are too blind to see it. -(jimin's head shot up)- I'm gonna leave you two to it now, but jimin, I assure you I will kick your ass if you hurt y/n one more time." and he left. jimin looked at you apologetically, then hid his face behind his hands and took a deep sigh. "I really am a dumbass, huh..." - "yeah, you are" you replied with slight smile on your face and you took some steps towards him, he looked up at you. "y/n, I might be dumb and selfish, but I really hope that you can forgive me... one day. I was jealous of you two and I got insecure. I shouldn't have done what I've done and I can only apologise.... i'm really sorry about everything." (he let his head sink)

you were now standing right in front of him. "jimin, look at me." (he did.) "you really are a dumbass" (he got pouty) - "I thought we had already established that, y/n" - "getting smart with me, minie?" you asked and laughed when he looked at you with with huge eyes and a beaming face after he heard his pet name. he shook his head "I'm the dumbass, remember ?". You two laughed and you threw your arms around his neck and kissed his cheek while he buried his head in your neck.

"be my dumbass, minie."

epilogue:

yoongi: "so how did you solve it again?"

you: "i called him dumb like 3 times and now we're dating"

yoongi: "nice"

jimin: "..."

My therapist wants me to get tested for ADHD and honestly, i don’t know how to feel. I didn’t tell her but this isn’t the first time the prospect of adhd has beem mentioned. It was talked about when I was younger. I didn’t learn to write letters till I was 8 years old. I could read just fine. I read letters, words, and “chapter books.” And I read them quite well. But I couldn’t write anything until I used special pencils and my mom held my hand and traced the letters. I learned to write by muscle memory. Letters, to me, became the weight of my mother’s hand and a conditioned response to the cold kitchen table and the smell of rice for dinner. Writing was a choreograophy flavored with the spoons my mom let me lick.

“Concentrate. Go slow. There you go!” my mom would say in her mom voice. She was proudest of lowercase “a”

I had a real adhd consultation in the 4th grade. But the test for adhd was expensive. It was too expensive for a 4th grader to comprehend but expensive enough for that 4th grader to see the disdain and desperation in their parents’ faces. I remember the exchange of papers, the scribbling of numbers, and my mom’s white people voice. It’s the voice she has when she’s pretending to buy something when in reality, she’s going to put the thing back, be content with the free samples, and roll her eyes as she walks away, never to return. “I wish i would....” we’d say.

“If it becomes a problem you’re gonna get tested,” they said.

They said it like it was a sentencing, a curse. But by “problem” they meant bad grades. And my grades were never bad. I actually took an IQ test in that same building. it was cheaper than an adhd test and they wanted to make sure there wern’t any “problems.” I dont remember the score. I dont like numbers and I didn’t care anyway. But I joined a class for gifted children so I never became “a problem.”

Yea, I had “behavior issues.” I was mean to other kids, and I still couldn’t write very well. But once you score enough AR points, teachers don’t care if you can write, if your shoe strings bother you, or if you break pencils when nervous. But adhd had always been in the back of my mind. How could I not? I rock back and forth all the time. “Stop,” my mom would say, “or you’ll get Altizmer’s like your grandma.” Grandma rocks back and forth all the time; I look just like her.

Where am i going with this? How am i supposed to feel? I was so happy when i got diagnosed with bipolar ii. That was supposed to be the end. I could finally understand and fix what was wrong with me. And i know that something is wrong. But it turns out that was only part of the dumpster fire that is my own brain. But what now? Is the list of mental defects just gonna keep growing? Am I just gonna keep discovering what is wrong with me? I had a meeting with my thesis advisor yesterday. I mispelled a lot of words. Again. And MLA 8 ia confusing. Will I ever finish my PhD?

I draw circles when people talk to me, it helps me remember what they are saying. If the information is really important, I play tic tac toe. I need music to work, preferably video game/movie music, because I can reimagine the story in my head. The daydreams take up the background noise in my head. I wake up at 4am because I can’t just wakeup, get dressed, and go to work at 10. I need time to transition between wake up, brush teeth, eat breakfast, drink coffee, get dressed, etc.

I am also very messy and I lose things, so my solution is to own nothing. I own one plate and one bowl. There’s one pot, one skillet, one fork, and one spoon. I have two baking sheets. 8 dishes means I will never get overwhelmed with dirty dishes. I’ve also embraced minimalism with my clothing. Few clothing means I don’t get overwhelmed by laundry. A small purse means that I don’t get overwhelmed by what fits inside. In bed, I don’t sleep underneath the covers. I sleep above the covers and shield myself with a light blanket instead. Making my bed stresses me out so my solution is to never sleep in it, i just lie on top of it with my blanket. I don’t even disturb the decrative pillows. I don’t use a pillow at all. It gets cold sometimes but I can’t buy a new blanket. I will get overwhelmed. Im very messy and I dont trust myself with things.

My therapist says its anxiety. When my mania appeared I was bipolar ii, and now I am, perhaps, adhd. I just don’t know what to think anymore? Why am I even thinking at all? My brain doesn’t even work!

Letters to Midnight: Chapter 4- Night 9: In July

Having been dressed already I pick up the plate I was using to eat my pizzas on and make my way to the kitchen, dropping it off in the sink. That's a problem for another day am I right. I head to the front door, taking my purse off the hook, and wrapping the long strap around my body. Bending down to put on my pretty beaten up yellow Converse. As I open my door, I hear shuffling next door from Hyuks apartment, by his front door. Assuming he's putting his shoes on, I step outside and start locking my door up.

I hear his front door open and close. Look im not going to lie to you, Im very nervous, so Im still looking at my key that's still in the door, from my peripheral vision I can see his shoes and pants. His pants are a looser fit on him, dark and folded up at his ankles, his shoes.... well I honestly don't know what they are, its as if dress shoes met A gothic shoe designer, but not in a bad way. I pull out my key knowing that if I leave it in the door any longer it will very quickly get weird. As I turn to finally face my neighbor I slip my keys in my back pocket, Lifting my head up. What I immediately take in his shirt(s), he's wearing a light grey t-shirt under a long sleeve light blue Hawaiian shirt, but the sleeves are rolled up to his elbows, and underneath THAT shirt a little sliver of another long sleeve shirt except its black instead of it being Hawaiian. I trail my eyes up to his face. His hair is dark, almost black, is swept out of his face, showing his forehead, he is wearing small hooped silver earrings. Now im not going to describe his face because frankly, I don't think I can describe perfection. But his face fits his voice. Which is not fair, to be able to have a voice like that you at least have to be below average in looks in my opinion, someone cannot be THAT perfect. Some people stay winning, and Hyuk is one of those people. I bet he even know how to cook.

As I finish taking him in, I nervously smile at him, finally making eye contact.

"Hey." Hyuk quietly greets

"Hi." I greet back. After saying this we both slowly start smiling. Hyuk looks down while putting his hands in his front pockets. I adjust the strap on my purse. Both of us still smiling.

"You ready?" I question, nervously digging the toe of my Converse into the carpet

I look up, already starting to back away in the direction of the elevators not waiting for his answer. He doesn't answer me but follows me instead.

It's quiet until we make it in the elevator.

"So Duck, to save this from being awkwardly quiet, tell me about yourself."

He sighs and responds with "You're going to keep calling me Duck aren't you?" chuckling at the end

I smile and look at him, "Yup!" I say bouncing on the balls of my feet

He looks over at me making eye contact smiling while shaking his head "Well what do you want to know?" he questions back

"How am I supposed to know what to ask you if I just met you Duck?" I laugh out.

He turns to look at me "Well my name is Kwon Hyuk, I am a singer, song writer and producer who goes by the name Dean, and I am 25 years old." he reveals to me, also bouncing on the balls of his feet, hands still in his pocket

"How did you get the name Dean?" I ask, the elevators stopping on the ground floor where our cars are parked.

"Well I actually got the name from the actor James Dean." We continue walking towards my car

"Elaborate please." I ask a little confused

"Well, James Dean has always had that rebellious character, which relates to my music, like I wanted to make music that was different, BE different." We arrive at my car, unlocking it and settle down inside of it. After starting the car I hand him the AUX cord. He quickly puts his seat belt on and grabs the cord from my hand

"Put something of yours on." I request

"No, lets play a game." He responds a smile in is voice

"Alright Duck, what game are we going to play?" I ask with a challenging tone in my voice

"I'll play a few songs and one of those songs will be mine. You have to guess which one is mine." He explains

"Im telling you right now, I'll ace this game." I respond with a little excitement evident in my voice

"Really, what makes you say that?" he asks in a playful tone

"I've literally heard you sing almost every night for the past 3 years." I laugh out

He laughs along with me scrolling through his phone. At this point we are already on the main road driving towards the grocery store. Then the sound of a piano accompanied with a beautiful voice comes on

"It's a beautiful life, I'll be on your side-"

"Oh! I know, I know!" I say smacking one of my hands on the steering wheel while softly rocking back and forth from excitement "It's 'Beautiful' By Crush!" I say stilling my movements, turning to look at him for a quick second, then looking back at the road

He's smiling looking at me "Yeah, how did you know?" he giggles out

"Are you kidding me, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE who has lived a great life has seen 'Goblin'." I say a little disbelief showing

"Yeah I guess." He laughs out "Okay, Here's another one."

This time before a beat start a voice begins this song

"We are, we are, we ar-"

Before the song can continue I immediately start singing along with it "WE ARTIST BABY ZICO, I HAVE A GOOD FEELING-" and before I know it the car crashes and we die. Just kidding. No but for real, before I know it Hyuk and I are singing, well more like yelling the lyrics to 'Artist' by Zico

"JUST THOUGHT OF AN IDEA, I LIVE MY WEEKENDS LIKE ITS THE WEEKDAYS." I pull up to a red light and look at Hyuk, still singing. We both make eye contact and continue singing, this time adding a little dance.

The light turns green so I continue driving. Both of us calming down but still giggling while he chooses another song. A woman starts out this song

"Did someone put drugs in it? Yeah" after the woman's part a male chimes in " I said it's true" then the woman again "In your normal voice-" she continues

I turn to look at Hyuk, confusion written on my face. But that soon turns to a smile "Duck....is this you?" I ask playfully

He looks at me with a little shyness on his face. He just smiles and shrugs his shoulders. We both sit quietly, me driving and him looking out the window. We sit until he suddenly starts singing along with the song whenever the male chimes in again

"A night hotter than the July sun I like all weekends, It'll probably cool down but today it'll be different,

all the emotions I pushed back I'll tell you today, I hope we'll be okay ."

He stops singing and I immediately look over at him, with the biggest smile on my face

"Oh Duck! ooohhh." I tease him, taking my right hand and lightly pushing his shoulder

He looks down at his lap a little embarrassed from my teasing. He laughs out loud, and once again that choking sound follows after it. It's cute.

For the rest of the song we sit quietly and listen. After it ends he explains to me that the song was called 'In July' featuring Heize

"I liked it, It sounded very summery, like I'd totally listen to this with my friends and have one of those cool friendship montage videos that makes everyone jealous.Well you know, if i had friends. Also you have a beautiful voice"

"That's oddly specific, and it's not that great" he laughs out

"That's cause it was, And are you kidding me Duck, a voice like yours could wake someone from the dead from how beautiful it is." We both laugh

I pull into the parking lot of the grocery store. The car is pretty close to the doors considering it about 4:20am and the parking lot is empty. We both unbuckle our seat belts and get out of my car. Walking into the store together.

He immediately grabs a shopping cart and I walk beside him. I lightly put my hand on the cart, steering him towards the frozen food section.

"I see we have something in common." he chuckles after realizing where we are headed\

"What do you mean?" I ask

He nods towards the refrigerators "We both can't cook." he states

"Wow, okay listen, it's not that i CAN"T cook, it's just i choose not to." I defend myself

"Okay you CHOOSE not to... whatever." He teases me

"Hey hey hey, yes I CHOOSE not to. I choose not to because... because-"

He starts laughing once he realizes I've run out of excuses, lightly nudging his shoulder into my own

"You also said you don't have a great voice and that was a total lie, so I bet 100% you can cook." I argue back

"I'll let you believe whatever you want Y/N." he laughs

We get everything I need to get, now at this point we are just walking around the aisles. We stroll into the chip section and Hyuk immediately reaches to grab a huge tub of cheese balls, holding it close to his chest like its the most precious thing in the world. I look at him with a curious gaze

"I cannot have my friend walk out of here without a tub of cheese balls. Not if I can help it." he explains

At this I cringe a little. Damn first day friendzoned.

"What? You don't like cheese balls?" he asks mind boggled and a little offended

"Nah its not the cheese balls part." I state

He looks at me with a face that says "what the hell are you talking about?"

"Look I know I don't have a lot of friends and I should be happy about this, but friendzoned on the first day. Really?" I say in a overly exaggerated tone

He laughs out at this "Y/N, you were friendzoned the minute you quoted Twilight."

"You're never going to drop that are you?" I ask him

"Nope, unless you drop the Duck thing." He teases back

"Well then I guess this is war Duck." I respond both of us holding eye contact trying to size up one another.

We bust out laughing loud, leaning on each other for a few seconds until we calm down. Then we head towards the front of the store to get checked out. Now lemme tell you, the groceries aren't the only thing we were checking out.
