NRC'S PAINT CHIP PROJECT! — green with envy
"wanting to be special to you. wanting to be the only one you touch. wanting you."
Tumblr media
You were Malleus’s first true friend.
He treasures you in every form, in every mood you come to him in. There’s a glow about you when you’re happy, a cloud around you when you’re upset, and a flame around you when you’re angry. There’s a myriad of other emotions he sees in you, disgust and love and amusement and awe and calmness and anxiety, and each one is more fascinating than the last.
He wants to draw every single one out of you and see how you deal with them. He wants to pick you apart and know every single thing about you because it seems wrong not to know.
But others know.
Others know you just as well, if not better than he does, and it irritates him.
There’s a small, immature part of him that feels the urge to summon lightning and strike down his competition because that’s what they are, right?
He believes humans call his emotion jealousy. He wasn’t aware he could feel something this gut-wrenching, but he supposes you’re such a curious little thing that you’d spawn feelings like this within him without even knowing.
That’s true, you don’t know what you do to him, do you?
Naivety doesn’t suit you.
He wants to be your first friend. He wants to be as special to you as you were to him. He doesn’t want to lose you. No one has ever touched his heart the way you can, and Malleus knows nobody else will ever get as deep into his soul as you did.
You dug your way through the towering stone walls with your own two hands, and the second you broke through, the whole wall he'd built over centuries and centuries crumbled completely. He wishes you weren’t so kind. He wishes your presence wasn’t so comforting and he wishes there was a feasible reason to hate you because he can’t stand being this dependent on you.
You would tell him that you’re not the only kind person in the world.
As Malleus sees you talking and laughing with friends that are him, he hopes you’d be wrong.
He doesn’t want to feel this jealous feeling ever again.

Hi,
I saw your other post for the match up and was wondering if you could do one for me to please? :) I’d prefer TWD if that’s alright. I’m relatively tall and slim and British tho I’ve lived abroad a lot. I don’t really have a type except for broken guys 🤦‍♀️ it’s problematic ik. I like overprotective guys but I’m also pretty protective too, especially when it comes to my family. I can get jealous but I try not to and I always get really attached but don’t show it until I think it’s reciprocated, at least a little. I hate if I’m excluded from things that I can actually do and I can be clumsy. I’m not really a girly girl but on occasion I do like to dress nicely.
I think that’s everything.
Thank you so much and if you can’t or don’t want to do it, I totally understand :)
Tumblr media
I match you with mr. Rick Grimes.
Request are open, send ‘em in!
You met Rick when the apocalypse first happened. You were trying to get some supplies when she ran into him.
When Rick seen this woman his first instinct was to take her in. He didn’t even know her, but from first glance he felt something there.
You two kinda danced around each other for months. You would long for each other from a distance.
You tried to keep a safe distance from everyone for the longest time. You didn’t want to get to attached to anyone, cuz tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone. Especially, in an apocalypse.
There would be times when you would think Rick was flirting with you. You craved for his attention, but that overwhelming feeling that these people were just going to ripped from your hands caused you to feel.. overwhelmed.
Rick is very protective of his group. He would always look out for the group and do whatever it is that needs to be done.
You loved how Rick protected his group. Rick didn’t treat his group like another number of survivors. He genuinely cared for them and considered them to be his family. Hell, they were raising his kids with him.
You could handle yourself. You could fight off the flesh eating monsters. That didn’t bother you one bit. You were very, very protective and strong which is one of the reasons Rick falls for you.
He always included you with anything they did. If someone left you out he included you. -he would go out of his way to include you.
Rick knew you were the one when the two of you went on a supplies run. Y’all ended up at a small strip mall. You cleared the store while Rick watched the front of the store for safety.
You collected supplies in your bag, clothes for the men and women of the group. Clothes for some of the little ones. But as you collected the clothing supplies you came across a dress untouched by the destruction around it.
Rick didn’t expect what he saw next.
Rick heard clicking of shoes and turned around. Seeing you in a (f/c) summer dress. It was beautiful and flowy.
“Wow, I was not expecting that.” he says as he looks you up and down. “Oh, this?” you would question as you twirled around. “I found this dress and I just couldn't help it. It's like a finding a diamond in the rough.” he smiles when he sees her smile. Not a fake forced smile, a smile that just tells everyone you're okay for the timing being and an actually genuine smile. “Well, you look beautiful.” He would tell you making you blush.
It’s not because you dressed girlie and he thought you were the one. But because you are so optimistic, living in the moment type person. Rick loves that when he is around you the whole world around him is no longer dangerous. You made him feel like there was no flesh eating monsters out there. You make him wish that it was you that he met first before his late wife Lori. You he wished he would’ve had kids with. A life with before shit hit the fan.
He loves your “badass-ness”. He has seen you take out 10 walkers alone. Did he like that he had to watch you take on 10 walkers along. Hell, no. But he had no other choice.
This was after the fall of the prison. You were trying to make it out alive. Rick was in no position to fight off the dead. And Carl.. well you made him help Rick keep standing ad you killed off the walkers. One by one with just a knife. You praised God that you came out of there unscathed.
So yeah, you and rick are the power couple of the apocalypse. I hope you like it. Sorry for any mistakes.

Nico Hischier meeting a girl in nj and having a one night stand but realising they have so much in common so they stay with each other for longer than one night and it’s actually the beginning of their relationship
“Stay. Please.”
“we could always make a one night stand a two night stand.”
“Did you just hit me? With a pillow? Oh. It’s on now.”
Sorry this took so long but i hope you enjoy :)
~~~
A round of thunder woke you up and you furrowed your brows as you felt an arm around you before remembering last night. 
It was your birthday so you and your friends went to a club where your group somehow merged with another group. Nico, one of the guys from the other group, had the bartender put any drinks you ordered on his tab since it was your birthday so the two of you danced and talked for an hour and a half before he asked you if you wanted to go back to his and then you were in his bed. 
You slipped out from under his arm before you stood up and walked over to the window, taking in the dark skies and the heavy rain. 
“Wow it's really coming down out there.” you whipped your head around to see Nico sitting up and you nodded in agreement as you bit the inside of your cheek.  
“Guess I better get dressed and get going,” you told him, walking towards your shirt that was laying in the middle of his floor. 
“I’m sorry?” 
“I’ll call a taxi or something and get out of your hair. Thanks for last night, though. I had a lot of fun. Both at the club and here.”  
“that’s not happening. I can’t let you go out in this weather. Not in good conscience.”  
“I don't want to impose anymore. Technically, I should've slipped out while you were sleep,” you made an attempt at a joke and Nico just shook his head.  
“it's not imposing if I'm telling you to stay because it's not safe to be traveling in this weather.” it was quiet for a couple of beats as you stared at your shirt still lying on the floor before Nico spoke again. “Stay, please.” 
You looked back at Nico and felt yourself melt under his gaze. “Okay,” 
Nico smiled at you before gesturing in the direction of the attached bathroom. “Feel free to take a shower. Clean towels are in the cabinet in there along with a spare toothbrush,” 
“And, I hate to bug you for these too, but clothes?” you asked, grimacing a little cause it felt a little intimate, as if you weren’t currently wearing one of his shirts or underneath him late last night and into the early morning. 
“I mean, personally, I love the tee-shirt only look on you but if you prefer the comfy and wearing pants look...” he sighed dramatically as he went over to his dresser and pulled out a pair of sweatpants and a random shirt, “here you go.” Nico smiled as he handed them to you. “If you need me for anything, just shout. I’ll be in the kitchen making,” he reached over and grabbed his phone, checking the time, “lunch.” He smiled before turning to leave.  
“you're a very hospitable one-night stand,” you bantered as he walked towards the door, causing him to turn to you as he placed a hand on the door handle. 
“And just think, you would've missed out on all of it if you left while I was sleeping,” he teased, shooting you another smile before he closed the door behind him, causing you to roll your eyes as a smile of your own made its way onto your lips. 
*** 
“You cheated,” Nico deadpanned as you got first. 
It was hours later, closer to five now, and to pass the time, Nico had suggested firing up the switch and playing a game. That was two hours ago after the two of you got sick of Netflix and ended up just talking and getting to know each other better as the movie became background noise. 
“Nico, its Mario party. I'm not sure you can cheat at Mario party,”  
“Sounds like something a cheater would say,” he sang and you let out a laugh. 
“All you have to do is roll a die and play mini games. It's not my fault your bad at-” you felt a soft thunk to your back and you turned to look at Nico, jaw dropped as you looked at the pillow, he now held in one of his hands, smirk on his face. “Did you just hit me? With a pillow?” another soft hit to you, this time to your head. “Oh, it’s on now.”  
Nico swung again as you rolled away from him, grabbing a throw pillow from the couch as Nico moved the coffee table so neither of you could injure yourselves on it.  
You managed to get a couple of hits on Nico before he caught the edge of your pillow, stopping you as he stared you down. You attempted to yank your pillow from his grasp but failed, now trying to think of a how you were going to get yourself out of this one. 
Nico saw your eyes light up and he shook his head, already knowing what you were thinking. “don’t be like my sister and start kicking.” 
You gasped. “I'm offended that you think I would kick my host.” Nico stared at you and your face became serious. “I genuinely wouldn’t kick you unless it was on accident while I was sleeping.” 
Nico nodded. “Alright. Ii believe you.” 
You smiled. “Good cause it’s true. I will, however, do this,” you pulled your pillow away from him when his grip loosened, thwacking him in the chest before getting up on the couch.  
Before you could get your last hit in, your phone began vibrating on the side table where it sat, attached to a spare charger Nico had, and you held up your hand to stop Nico from smacking you as you dropped the pillow before grabbing the device and hitting answer on the call, your eyes never leaving Nico the entire time. 
“Hello?” 
“Oh my god, I thought something happened to you.” your friend lex said as they let out a heavy breath on the line. 
“I texted you that I'd be on my way home after the rain let up.” you told them, rolling your eyes playfully as Nico grinned, tossing his pillow to land on the couch next to you.  
“Exactly. It's been let up for the past hour and a half,” 
You furrowed your brows before turning to look out the window, the sky still dark. You took the phone away from your ear to actually listen for the heavy downpour that was happening outside but heard nothing.  
“Oh, I didn’t even notice. I'll start heading home now.” you felt your heart sink a bit at your words as Nico made a face. 
“Were you two ban-” 
You cut off your roommate before they could finish. “Bye lex. See you at home.”  
You hung up and set your phone back down, getting off the couch as you looked back at Nico.  
“Well, guess that’s my cue to get my things and go home,” You smiled sadly, unplugging your phone before you turned back to Nico, opening your mouth to thank him again but he spoke first.  
“You don’t have to leave.” 
You let out a light laugh. “I think I've overstayed my one-night stand visit,” you joked.  
“We could always make a one night stand a two-night stand,” he suggested and you tilted your head, your lips turning upward slightly. 
“Oh, really?”  
“Mm-hmm,” he hummed in agreement, giving a little nod, a pleased look on his face. 
“And do tell me Nico, what does a two-night stand entail?” you questioned, taking a step towards him. 
“Well, for starters, me cooking us dinner which you are more than welcome to watch. Then, I-” 
“What if I want to help with dinner?” 
“Whatever you want to do. Help, watch, sabotage. I don’t care as long as you're there.” He answered before continuing what he was going to say before you interrupted. “Then, we’ll wine and dine and after dinner, we’ll watch a movie or show,” Nico smiled as you took another step towards him.  
“And after all that?”  
“Depends if you want to go to sleep afterwards. If not, I'm sure I can think of another activity that will make you tired,” he smirked.  
“How many girls have you asked to have a two-night stand with?” you inquired, raising an eyebrow.  
“You would be the first and the last.” 
“That’s a big statement.” 
“I’m that confident.” 
“Okay, mr.confident. One last question. What comes after a two-night stand?” You wrapped your arms around his neck and your smile got a little bigger when you felt his arms slide around your waist. 
Nico had a smile of his own on his lips as he looked down at you. “A proper date where I take you out for dinner and kiss you goodnight in front of your door.” 
“Just a kiss?” 
“Just a kiss.” 
You tsked as shook your head. “I’m not so sure about that Nico. That seems pretty slutty,” you sighed, looking away from him. 
“I know. Our parents would be extremely disappointed in us for that but I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from doing it.” He mimicked your tone and you pretended to think about it, letting your eyes go to the ceiling before looking back at him, smile still there as you nodded. 
“I would love to do all of that with you. Two-night stand and date.” You unwrapped your arms from Nico's neck as you unlocked your phone, “let me text lex and then you can impress me with your cooking skills. 
Nico’s smile widened even more as he took his arms from around your waist, grabbing your free hand and leading you into the kitchen for the start of your two-night stand.

Kidge summer event 2023
Day 17: Hot day
This is a part 2 of the "Day 3 Road Trip" that you can find here.
"When you said that in Italy was dying of heat, you weren't kidding...": Keith complained, trying to fan himself with his hands as he felt the sweat run down his forehead and down his neck.
"I told you, every year in the Po Valley it gets worse and worse": she replied, swinging slowly on an old wooden swing, now used to too much heat. The couple had quickly isolated themselves from the rest of the people talking around the table set in the distance, although every now and then Keith saw someone giving him dirty looks.
"Don't worry, I've never really grown fond of my Italian side of the family": she explained: "Even all my second or third cousins or uncles almost never speak to me. Besides, many of my aunts are bitches. When I was little, all they did was gossip about my mother's American accent."
She had said the last sentence with a slight sense of anger and offense in her tone, as he continued to wade through the group of middle-aged and older women gossiping.
"You know, I'm actually glad you're here. At least I have an excuse to get away ": she continued, while a rather plump lady in a wheelchair came out of her house.
"She is my grandmother, I think she is the only person in this family that I really care about": she explained, while smiling and waving her hand:" Her father served in the third world war, our family got rich this way and she will divide everything between my father, Matt and me. Maybe that's why deep down many hate us"
"But I saw you talking to those ladies over there and that blonde girl": Keith pointed out, while his wife looked at him with a tired and annoyed look.
"Cousin Sara is a bitch. She knows English very well but she speaks Italian knowing perfectly well that you don't know it": she rolled her eyes grumbling: "And the aunts are the classic mother-in-law of shit. Since I was six they've been pestering me about a boyfriend, then when you and I were dating they wanted a fucking wedding and this year, even though we've been married for less than a month, they keep complaining that I have a baby the first possible!"
She complained, continuing to gesticulate and grumble about how little she is attached to that family and that, fortunately, they lived on two different continents.
"Pidge, Katie...": Keith interrupted, kneeling in front of her and looking into her eyes: "That... What you said in the car... is true?"
"What? That today will be the worst day of all? Yes, it's true": she sighed, shaking her head and almost suddenly feeling the desire to cry.
"No... I mean...": Keith stammered, trying to find the right words from her, while he felt her eyes water, feeling a new emotion in her chest: "Are you... are you pregnant?"
"Oh...that!": She exclaimed, laughing and finally letting two tears fall, she nods biting her lip: "Yes... Yes, I am..."
"Wow...": he didn't know what to say. His words caught in her throat as his mind raced about the future, a future as a father.
"Thank you... thank you...": he limited himself to saying about her, embracing her with strength and with such a push that she almost fell off her swing, crying on her shoulder from her happiness at that news from her. It wasn't really planned, but just because it was unexpected didn't mean it was bad. They had never had talks about starting a family, but he knew she was the woman he would live with until the end of time.
"Keith, it's hot and I'm all sweaty there's no need to wet my shirt any more than it already is": she laughed, at least just to break the silence between them.
"Oh, right, sorry love...": he smiled, wiping away his tears and breaking her embrace, looking at her with eyes full of love thinking where the heck he found such a woman and how lucky they fell in love with her.
"So... you didn't tell anyone...?": he asked, remaining on his knees in front of her.
"No... I couldn't stand those chickens anymore": she shook her head:" And then... I would have preferred to tell my parents and Matt in private first. It's difficult even for them today, it always has been..."
"I see...": he nodded, while turning his gaze towards the crowd he saw everyone sitting in their seats, while Pidge got up from the swing, dusting off her white fluttering dress: "I think lunch is ready, come, I'll introduce you to my grandmother "
She smiled, he smiled back as they approached the long white table arm in arm.

THIS! 🌟Goes for men too. Here's how it works.
Society makes up what's beautiful. Disregarding genetics, your happiness, who you are as a person, your dreams- it reduces you down to your beauty.
Allegedly, society sees deathly skinny as beautiful. Even if you are in a hospital bed clinging to life, society still won't see it as beautiful. Because society cannot be satisfied just like any abusive relationship or addiction.
Anyone can have an eating disorder. You don't have to be a certain number on the scale to be sick. Heart complications, negative self hatred feelings, self harm, over exercising, fainting, organ damage, suicidal thoughts and brain fog (common side effects of EDs) doesn't discriminate on weight. Many people believe EDs are weight disorders.
Everyone's different and has a unique story. But many folks with EDs feel pressure to fit in with what's beautiful to win the love of other people. Sadly, some people just prey on folks going through a hard time like with eating disorders. They'll never actually care. If your friends want you to starve yourself or hate yourself in order to love you, they'll never really care about you and it's hard to accept not being liked by certain people especially if you like those people. It's very much a trauma bond.
Like eating disorders, trauma bonds don't always go by logic. It doesn't mean that the person going through it is unintelligent. It can happen anyone. Anyone can be manipulated and abused. A lot of people don't seek help because they feel like "they should have seen it".
Trauma bonds are when you become attached to someone or something that is harming you, but because you love the person or thing so much, it overrides logic. You'll defend said thing that's hurting you. It's not the victim's fault.
So eating disorders just like society standards and abusive relationships or friendships nothing you do is good enough for it. It'll never be satisfied. The source (person or ED) of the trauma bond will make you feel euphoric for a while and then the crashes are just hell and you have to keep chasing it to feel ok for a little bit. The source will treat you badly for a while, pretend to like you then pull away again, then be mean again and it repeats.
Here's some visuals. Society is like wow you need to eat a hamburger and then you do eat a hamburger and it's like no you need to cut back. Society says oh look natural and then tells you to get plastic surgery. But then when you get plastic surgery it's like you're being vain and you look bad yet again according to them.
So this is the second way a lot of people don't heal or feel like they can seek help whichever way they want to do it. On their own or from a program, they don't feel like they're sick enough. But if you feel the need to starve yourself or fast or do all these harmful things to your body you're sick enough and matter.

"Okay so this one is actually pretty sick. I want to paint that on my van." Eddie was currently hovering over my notepad as I drew a puppet master tattoo for Eddie. Once his uncle had seen the huge piece I drew on his chest, he freaked out. He applauded my work but asked that I please draw him something a little smaller and not so colorful.
"I'm trying to decide if he needs some red hues, really give him that hellish pop." Eddie's ringed finger ran over edges of the drawing to show where he thought it would be best to put the red and I started off slow.
"Oh that's the one baby! That's perfect." He clapped his hands together shifting his chair closer to mind. The chairs at the table started filling around us and I tried not to let Eddie keep me too lost in this sketch because I didn't want to be rude to everyone else but it was Dustin and Mike who plopped down heavily shaking the table.
"Whoa! Relax! We're working on something here!" Eddie threw his arms out and Dustin offered a silent apology.
"What are you drawing?" Dustin asked squinting at the sketchpad. I turned it around for him to see and he nodded.
"Wow that's badass." Mike looked impressed.
"I'm going to get it tattooed on Thursday. It's going right here." Eddie tapped the back of his arm.
"You let Dani draw you a tattoo...for your body?" Mike seemed shocked.
"Are you questioning my artistic abilities?" I challenged playfully.
"Not at all but that's like...a very permanent thing." Mike pointed out making Eddie snort a laugh.
"Yeah Wheeler that's kind of the point of a tattoo." Eddie shifted in his chair and had his arm around the back of mine, almost protective, I gave his knee a small squeeze reminding him to be nice.
"I mean it just seems pretty intimate." Dustin slapped the back of his hand on Mike's chest. Eddie and I looked at each other.
"What? You know I think you're awesome! It just seems like such an intense thing to get. It's like a soul binding-" Mike was cut off by Dustin.
"If there are two people who are practically attached at the hip, it would be Dani and Eddie." Dustin added quickly making me chuckle.
"You know people can have tattoos removed right? Covered even." Gareth pointed out from next to me. I sat back in my chair taking in this new topic of conversation.
"No way man. I hear having them removed is like burning the skin off your body." Carl scrunched his nose and Mike got a chill.
"I think its an awesome idea. I mean Dani's practically designed our entire party. Why wouldn't he want one of her pieces on him?" Jeff spoke up and Mike held up his hands.
"I mean they're definitely a step up from some of the others he's gotten." Jeff added making Gareth almost spit across the table.
"You guys are assholes. Why do I even subject myself to this kind of abuse?" Eddie shook his head.
"Don't be so dramatic, Munson. Now the tattoo on your chest, that's what I'd call abuse." Dustin's mouth dropped open and Eddie smirked at me for ribbing him.
"She makes a point." Carl added causing the rest of the table to laugh.
"Screw you guys. I'm getting another drink." Eddie stood up and put a hand on my back making me look up at him. He was silently asking if I wanted anything and I shook my head, watching him head towards the soda machines.
"My girlfriend has a tattoo. It's small but I always wonder if maybe she'll cover it when we get old enough." Mike pushed the food around on his plate.
"I didn't know you had a girlfriend. What's her name?" I smiled making him look up.
"Oh um her name is El. She moved last year but we're making it work long distance. We used to talk on the phone all the time but now we write each other letters." He explained with a weak smile.
"Same here. Me and my Suzie are going strong for almost a year now. Long distance is tough but we stay in constant contact. Doesn't help that her dad hates me." Dustin said looking annoyed.
"Why does her dad hate you?" I chuckled feeling bad for him.
"Her dad doesn't hate you. He just doesn't like that you're Agnostic which is pretty stupid." Mike reminded Dustin who shrugged.
"That's really cool that you've both found two people that you love enough to make it work from a distance. That's real love right there." Mike blushed but Dustin smiled proudly.
"Okay what did I miss? Why is Wheeler's face a stop sign and Henderson smiling like an idiot?" Eddie plopped down heavily in the chair next to me sliding a bag of skittles towards me and opening his mountain dew.
"Dani was commending the Freshman's about finding love that knows no distance or bounds." Gareth tipped his drink at Mike and Dustin who laughed.
"...with each other or-" Eddie questioned as both boys exclaimed a loud no.
"Dustin has a girlfriend named Suzie who sounds lovely but has to deal with being star-crossed as her father does not approve of his religious beliefs, which I agree with Mike. That shit is stupid." Dani explained, catching Eddie up.
"And Mike's girlfriend just moved but they write letters to one another, which is super romantic by the way. There's something really sweet about sitting down and handwriting a letter to someone imagining them sitting somewhere and reading it with a smile on their face, thinking of you." Mike finally let himself smile without blushing.
"Handwritten letters do it for ya? No bed of roses or candle lit dinners on a boat?" Eddie teased as I sat back in my chair, his body facing towards me.
"I'm fairly simple. I don't particularly like roses and I can't swim so anything on the water isn't ideal. Showing that your happiness can come from making me happy is what I like. I want effort, I want romance that shows actual character and forethought. Doing a bunch of cheesy things you copped from a John Hughes movie isn't romantic. It's predictable." I sat back and noticed how intently he was listening to me rant.
"So romance is a case to case basis is what I'm hearing." Mike chimed in.
"Exactly. Something sweet El likes might not be anywhere close to what Suzie would like. Every girl is different and if you truly care about a person, you take the time to get to know what makes them happy so you can make sure their life is full of it." I popped a skittle in my mouth watching Dustin and Mike share a look of acknowledgement.
"Shouldn't you be taking notes Eddie?" Carl spoke up making the entire table bust out in a fit of laughter. Eddie shook his head and got up to round the table sending them all into silence. I watched Eddie closely in case he had taken the playful jest as something to be fired up about.
"Boys, this is a lunch break and while I'm sure all of this has been very informative for you, I want you to take a good hard look at these other tables. They're a good mix of Hawkins good little guys and gals right?" The boys nodded carefully.
"Now take a look at the woman in front of you." Eddie put his arms around Dustin and Mike. I shook my head at him confused as to where this was going.
"She's beauty and grace at its purest form and it's a mystery even to myself why she actually wants to hang out with any of us. So if you could stop shaking her down for information about the inner workings of the female mind, that would be great." Eddie pushed Mike and Dustin's heads together and they rubbed the sides of their heads making the others laugh again. Eddie stood up straight and winked at me. I rolled my eyes taking a sip of his drink before he plopped down next to me once more and held my pen out to me to resume working on his tattoo.
I didn't mind talking about the boys personal lives but something in the way Eddie winked at me made me think he didn't want me to reveal all the secrets to them. Love certainly has a learning curve.

TikTok by @Relationship_anarchy
[beginning of transcript]
How to develop Secure Attachment in your relationships using the HEARTS acronym that Jessica Fern coins in her book Polysecure.
Okay last week we covered the H, which stands for "Being Here with Myself," this week we're covering the E, which stands for "Expressed Delight."
Personally Expressed Delight is my favorite way of developing Secure Attachment, um, because it's so primal, it's so primitive. Like, I think of babies , you know, the way people express delight when they see babies and they make these cute little faces at them and make cute little sounds and just give them like all their attention and just like, adore them. That's what I think of when I think of Expressed Delight.
The practice of pro-actively Expressing Delight towards yourself whether you're like, looking in the mirror and you're like, "Wow, I'm looking cute today." Or like, I don't know, if you did something courageous today and you're able to just notice like, "Yeah, you know what, maybe my life isn't perfect but I showed up with courage today."
These are examples of Expressed Delight and the idea is just you have a positive sense of self and you're expressing that outwards. Every single human being that I have met on this planet has some form of negative self-talk come up in their heads. And it's natural, right, because, well, we're born without these voices right, but its natural for us to internalize our environment. So like, we learn this negative self-talk from outside but then it becomes internalized and we start repeating it back to ourself.
So the practice of Expressing Delight in yourself is actually like, stretching this muscle of cultivating positive sense of self worth, and actually like, being able to not only see who you are but truly appreciate who you are in the world.
Man, when I started this journey of like, developing Secure Attachment - its still an ongoing journey for me by the way - um, like, four years ago I had horrible self-talk. I wasn't sure if I wanted to be alive, to be quite honest with you. Like um, I had actively hated myself, it was really intense. Um, but one of the biggest life hacks that has helped me in my life is understanding that you can believe something until you become it. So it's okay if it doesn't feel true to you right now, like actually you can program your beliefs by first starting with your actions. There's always gonna be a lag, right, but if you start practicing Expressing Delight in yourself, eventually your brain will start to catch up and be like "Oh yeah - we are pretty awesome, we are worthy of love, we are worth celebrating, we are enough. And actually, we are thriving."
If you are looking for a way to implement this in your life, here is a fun challenge for you to try on:
At the end of the day, before you go to bed, look into your eyes in the mirror, see yourself, and acknowledge three qualities in yourself that you embodied that day.

supernatural s15e3 the rupture (w. robert berens)
can't believe we're still doing this dumbass hell ghost plotline.
this music is awful. is generic and nonsensical to the vibe of the show. it's giving like. in line for space mountain plus 20 year old video game? sigh! (jay gruska, to no one's surprise)
Tumblr media
very pretty shot. painting-like
DEAN I mean, this whole mess, you know? This – This sloppy-ass ghostpocalypse – that's Chuck's ending? No. No, I don't think so. After everything that he has put us through? I'll be damned if I'm gonna let some glorified fanboy get the last word.
sloppy-ass indeed
BELPHEGOR It's just a nickname. Doesn't matter. Thing's actually more of a horn. Anyways, when Lilith began sending demons off to Earth to do her bidding, there was a little problem. I mean, yeah, she commended absolute loyalty in Hell, but there was no guarantee that once her minions were topside, that they wouldn't just take advantage of the situation. She needed to control her flock. So —
sure, why not! make up some extra lilith lore
ROWENA A few ingredients, nothing too exotic – lavender, myrrh, the skull of an owl, quiet to perform the spell, and an assistant. Dibs on Samuel. SAM Er, what? ROWENA You're as close to a seasoned witch as we've got in this lot.
team witch!sam
BELPHEGOR I want protection. Muscle. DEAN Yeah, Cas'll go. DEAN You've been to Hell before. CASTIEL Well, it sounds like I don't have a choice. DEAN Good. Great. Go team.
way to be an ass, dean. but also, who else is gonna do it? they're out of people? so we're just gonna make up some hurt/drama.
LOL ripped out ketch's heart? okay. i was never engaged with his little character rehab project so, whatever.
BELPHEGOR You know, your part in all this is, uh, pretty dangerous. I mean, you could die, get trapped in Hell. Your friends might never see you again. Funny, 'cause, uh, they didn't seem to think twice about it.
don't worry, cas. this is all fucking nonsense
BELPHEGOR Okay, you got me. I wanted company. I wanted your company. What? Shouldn't we at least try and be friends? Sam and Dean, they seem to be coming around. I think I'm, uh, growing on them. You know, like a cancer. CASTIEL You are not growing on anyone. Sam and Dean are just using you. Don't mistake that for caring about you, because I can assure you they don't. BELPHEGOR Wow. You learn that the hard way?
really going for the jugular of insecurities here
BELPHEGOR What is it, Cas, really? This, uh, seething animosity.
LOL it's like the nin lyrics to terrible lie!! (pretty hate machine is one of my all-time favorite albums, all bangers no skips)
(Hey God!) Why are you doing this to me? Am I not living up to what I'm supposed to be? Why am I seething with this animosity? (Hey God!) I think you owe me a great big apology
very plotline appropriate too haha
so is this when we find out what angle this demon is working or? LOL sucking up the hell souls with his little horn so he can become god. just like cas and the purgatory souls! like father, like son. dropping characters like flies, this episode
so rowena is going to sacrifice herself like crowley did? i like rowena, but i never was on board with her sudden character flip flop, same with crowley or ketch. gonna take dark to gray characters and oh yeah, we love the good guys now too and we're willing to die for the cause. i think we've had more time to attach to rowena post-flipflop at least? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i was getting this clip for the bad music but dean's increasingly confused and stunned what??s made me laugh
i mean, whatever, man. this doesn't seem like the clearest case of prophecy but whatever, it works, sure. god, the music for this is AWFUL. i usually laugh off jay's bad music but this is insulting to rowena. she deserves better death music :p
well. rowena also got a little swan song diving into the pit moment.
Tumblr media
dean asks how he's doing, deflect deflect. the winchester way
DEAN We did it, though, man. It's over. God threw one last apocalypse at us, and we beat it. SAM Yeah. DEAN What you did… Rowena… You didn't have a choice. SAM I know.
how very madison
CASTIEL The plan changed, Dean. Something went wrong. You know this. Something always goes wrong. DEAN Yeah, why does that something always seem to be you?
jesus, dean. that's way nastier than necessary. he can get so mean when he's upset
CASTIEL You used to trust me, give me the benefit of the doubt. Now you can barely look at me. My powers are failing, and – and I've tried to talk to you, over and over, and you just don't want to hear it. You don't care. I'm… dead to you. You still blame me for Mary.
powers failing? wha? ok. when sam and dean talked, they were taking some of the responsibility for not dealing with soulless!jack better, not just only blaming cas? this is a very dramatic breakup situation that i was not expecting
CASTIEL Well, I don't think there's anything left to say. DEAN Where you going? CASTIEL Jack's dead. Chuck's gone. You and Sam have each other. I think it's time for me to move on.
death of a child messes everything up, i get that. but this conflict between dean and cas about mary feels artificially amplified. forever my beef with how they did the friendship between cas and dean
on the wiki:
Part of the music known as "Americana" or the Winchester Family Theme by Jay Gruska, plays as Castiel tells Dean he is leaving.
LOL oh my god the mushy music (see my extensive tag entries 🥴) has a name! i mean, duh, of course it has a name. but i never have bothered to look into the original score soundtracks. and the original score basically never got talked about on the wiki in the episode pages until maybe the last season or so would mention the composer. i just think it's hilarious. i kind of, true to my desire to consume this show semi-in a bubble, have avoided looking into the music too much because i'm just absorbing and observing as i go (and bitching, so much bitching)
first time i noticed it was 8x16, when dean was praying to cas to look out for sam because he was clearly getting hurt in the trials

Wonderland
I highly doubt this place is gonna be very wonderful...
Jon, have you considered you should have mentioned that you can track Daisy several hours ago.
Alright, Basira, damn. Right to it then. I mean, if you did kill him from the start Magnus would have just replaced him. It would have been an unending cycle, really.
I mean, isn't the thing with Trevor kind of obvious? Nope, never mind. Little more complicated than I thought.
Jon! Communication! You are so bad at this relationship stuff!
OH!!! A "mental heath facility." So what you're saying is this is a Spiral domain?! Alright, where's Helen? I've kinda missed her nonsense.
Martin and Basira are go- London is still there? Like properly still there? Weird.
You know what, fair question. If I heard one of my friends killed a kid, I would have one less friend in the world.
Basira is very pessimistic today...
Yeah, I figured this was gonna come up. This is gonna be a bunch mental health stuff and I'm not gonna respond well to it, I'm guessing. I'm gonna get a drink and I guess take my meds before a tackle this...
Oh, Basira's gonna stay? That'll be fun?
Footsteps? Oh! Oh, I don't like that! Dr. David needs to back up off the mic. I did not come here for ASMR.
I feel like Basira is being oddly silent here. I would not be so quiet in response to this...
Oh. I don't like this. I know that's the point but god.
"Meaningless little brat." Jesus! I do not like Dr. David.
Do not go into a loop like in the Lonely! This is really upsetting.
I need it to be understood that this episode is making me take a lot of breaks. This part I'm on where Dr. David is doubting that a patient actually needs medical attention is just too real for me.
Jesus! I hate this! Wow that laugh was awful!
"Hysterical little creep." Wow! That's awful! This is all so awful!
Thank god that's over. Screw Dr. David, I hate him more than I hate the old men!
Basira is not gonna like this when he comes down.
I was right...
Was wondering where Martin was. He was too quiet for a second.
Jon, please!
What? Oh! So Daisy is just hunting people she failed to bring in?
Yeah, I was wondering how the man got here. Presumably he was unwell and police do as they are often want to do.
Jon, you can't say "Not now Helen." every time she shows up. There has to eventually be a "Hi Helen, hows it going." Otherwise you just seem rude.
What do you want in return, Helen? NO! I can not stress enough what a bad idea going through her hallways would be!
"Basira is a strong, independent woman..." She is but I don't know if that's a good thing at this point.
Basira! You are too smart for this!
Don't talk about Tim! Or Michael for that matter. I'm still too emotionally attached to the both of them.
Oh thank god! Basira, you truly are so much smarter than most of the people in the apocalypse.
Is Helen getting more chummy? I honestly think she's getting more mean.
You know, I can't stop thinking about the nature of the Spiral, actually. Like, Helen and Michael aren't/weren't avatars. They were fused with the very being that was the Spiral. Even now, in this apocalyptic hellscape, none of the fears have actually spoken or revealed themselves in a way that is perceivable, unless you count the avatars themselves. Maybe the problem with Helen and by extension the Spiral is that it still has a human mind attached to it and it doesn't know what to do with itself? So Helen, the confusing part that is still very much a person, is trying to reach out to Jon and company because being just the Spiral is, by it very nature, maddening?

10. anons 17. fanon interpretations 27. an old muse
send a number for me to talk about one of the following topics!
it can be a praise, a complaint, a good memory… anything that comes to mind!
10: anons
I don't mind anons, overall really. If I did I would have disabled them a long time ago. When anons send silly stuff or send stuff that I can really work with easily it's a lot of fun. But my major issue with anons is when it gets abused. I know that's not really a shocker, I think most people have this opinion but just because you're anonymous doesn't give you the right to be an asshole with it. It's a privilege, not a right. Also I find it weird that there's these copy/paste anons who send the same asks to several people? I kinda get it but at the same time it just kind of turns me off once I realize they are doing that. Just kind of weird and makes me question the motive. But yeah, on a whole I don't mind them.
17: fanon interpretations
I love how others interpret characters, though with that said, there's a lot of crap out there and I hate when a character gets boiled down to 1 thing. You know, like how Futaba's just the neet, or Ryuji's just the dumbass, or Yusuke's just the eccentric painter, that sort of thing. And it gets really bad at times to the point where I wonder if they ever even actually played the games. But with that said, it's still fun to see others interpretations of characters. I always personally like to stick as close to canon as possible but to add my own stuff to it as it makes sense, unless it's a heavily different AU that necessitates my own interpretations that go against the grain, that sort of thing.
27: an old muse
I've said it before, but my main muse before Futaba was Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony Friendship is magic. Kind of like the persona series, I was obsessed with this show back when it was still in it's heyday, back when you could really call yourself a brony and pegasister and people would be like "oh that's cool" before it became hated on and then people stopped caring, I think anyways. With the fact that she used magic and having it set up the right way, it was really easy to do stuff like crossovers and adventure rps and the like. It was also really easy to do story arcs and to follow a long, linear narrative. Well, the best that I could anyways. A lot that I learned from her being my main muse I still carry over to this day. As for Twilight herself, I just fell in love with her. She was a nerd, an introvert (wow, I wonder why I fell in love with Futaba. It's almost like I have a type) and just kind of a dork. I know they kinda went away from the whole introvert thing in later seasons somewhat since she became a Princess and all that, but she's still a dork and an introvert to me, but loves making friends and learning new things. My muse for her is still there, though is so different from canon it might as well be a different individual at this point. Still, I do have her as a muse on my multi-muse, but I don't follow many pony blogs these days and I don't think many people are interested in rping with a human Twilight that follows a very specific timeline with a lot of baggage attached to it. Oh well.

He hates the blade
Don't.
Probably
That's an interesting way to put it

Pre-enochian?
Oh boy
Don't do it
This is bad
Oh boy
Poor girl

Not a serial killer
Are you?
Ew

This won't end well
That's not what this is at all
Good choice

Souls.
Sam was right, they're all soulless
Yup
Yeah, I would
Yikes
They're making demons
That's horrifying
Why wouldn't that worry him?
Oh boy
Heyyy
Make a choice
This is a long exorcism
Rip to that phone
And the demon
Bye!
Alright kid, first thing you're gonna do is get a new hairdo
Spooky
Pfft
Poor girl
Yeah...
I'm sorry
I see that Dean fixed Baby's paintjob
Right
I'm sure
I thought the pinstripe said Impala for a second 💀 it actually says imperial
Uh huh
About what?
To turn them into demons
An army of demons. It all comes back to souls, doesn't it?

The Wrong Lifetime — Epilogue // Wanda Maximoff
chapter fourteen | story masterlist | main masterlist | wattpad
author’s note: the final part is here! thanks again to everyone who stuck around with this fic, i really appreciate it 😊💗 now enjoy!!
Tumblr media
The sound of a rooster crowing pulled me from my slumber and I groaned when I realised I definitely wasn't getting back to bed anytime soon.
Quiet laughter came from beside me and I didn't have to open my eyes to know that Wanda was finding my disgruntled self entertaining.
"I said yes to the chickens," I mumbled tiredly, not opening my eyes as I stupidly thought it would let me contain my sleep for a little bit longer, "but I should have drawn the line at the rooster."
Her fingers grasped my shoulder as she rolled over to hover above me. I squinted through my tired eyes, seeing the amused smile on her lips as she looked down at me. Despite how much of a morning person I wasn't, I appreciated how beautiful she looked with bed hair and a nightie.
"Shut up," she said jokingly, and I closed my eyes again. "You love them."
I rolled my eyes beneath closed lids. "I'd love to cook them, sure."
She slapped my shoulder gently. "Don't talk about Nikolai, Vanya and Sonia like that!"
A smile ghosted my lips. The first thing she'd done when getting the damn chickens was name them the most Sokovian names she could think of – I shouldn't have expected anything less. Though, now it meant she was extremely attached to them.
"My apologies, love," I mumbled.
She hummed disapprovingly before putting her whole body weight on top of me and hugging me. I sighed contently, resting an arm around her waist and appreciating the feeling of her so close to me. I could have fallen back asleep in this position if it wasn't for Wanda's wide-awake, curious self. Why did she have to be such a morning person?
"So, what are your plans for today?" she asked, fingers scratching against my shoulder blade tenderly.
I exhaled calmly. "I'm going to attempt to fall back asleep right now... then I'll let you know afterwards when I wake up."
She didn't say anything after that, and I was stupid to believe I'd gotten away with it because she suddenly got up and straddled me, jumping up slightly and startling me awake.
"Wake up!" she ordered, too hyper for my sleepy self.
I groaned, rubbing my eyes and finally opening them to see her looking down at me with a grin, hair falling around her face. There was a hint of annoyance in my expression as I narrowed my eyes, but she ignored it as she rested her hands on my chest.
"I hate you," I muttered.
"You're up now, so let's do something," she insisted, making me roll my eyes. "We should go on a walk. It's pretty outside. The sun's rising and it'll be fun!"
The sun's rising because its bloody dawn and that damn rooster crows at the same time every day, leaving me disgruntled and annoyed.
But of course, I didn't have the energy to explain that to Wanda, so I simply shook my head and closed my eyes. "Maybe tomorrow, Wanda."
She suddenly leaned down, jolting me slightly and making me open my eyes. She was inches away from my face as she pouted.
"Not tomorrow, now!" she exclaimed loudly, before leaning forward and peppering kisses all over my face.
I sighed, keeping her stable by resting a hand on her waist, but not appreciating the fact that falling asleep would definitely be a challenge now.
"I love you, Wanda, but please keep it down," I said quietly, still not used to her energy so early in the morning.
"Tell me what I can do to wake you up," she said sternly, stopping kissing me and sitting upright again.
"Absolutely nothing, love."
"Oh? Nothing?"
I hummed and closed my eyes again, getting used to her weight on top of me and deciding I could probably fall back asleep if she was quiet long enough. Wishful thinking, of course.
Her fingers found mine and she slowly lifted my hand, putting it underneath her dress and on her thigh. I knew what she was doing – it was cute – but it wouldn't work.
Not even bothering to open my eyes, I said, "Wanda, darling, we've been together for three years. I am able to resist your charm, believe it or not."
"Really?" she asked challengingly, letting go of my hand and resting hers on my shoulders. "I don't believe you."
Before I could counter her with a response, she leaned down and began nibbling on my ear softly. It was a sensation I was familiar with, but I refused to let her get her way, so I ignored her stubbornly. She knew me too well though, as she let go of my ear and trailed kisses down my neck before sucking on the skin sensually. Admittedly, I was a lot more awake then I was thirty seconds ago, definitely aroused by the gorgeous woman on top of me, but she couldn't win this. Not when she was playing very unfairly.
"Wanda," I said with a warning tone, squeezing her thigh and signalling for her to stop.
I should have figured that would provoke her even more, as she manoeuvred herself so her knee was now pressing between my legs. I'm ashamed to admit that I gasped into her shoulder at the sudden pressure, and judging from the quiet laugh she let out, she was very much aware of the effect she had on me.
"I told you you couldn't resist," she said knowingly, raising her head from my neck so she could meet my eyes.
Hers were darkened with pleasure and mischievousness, darting to my lips. I glared at her.
"I really hate you."
She shook her head, tongue wetting her lips, as a playful smirk stared down at me. "No you don't. Now lose the nightdress, moya lyubov' (my love)."
I tried to retort, but she closed the gap between us, lips capturing mine in a heated kiss. I definitely didn't mind being woken up like this...
After actually getting out of bed, I reluctantly agreed to go on a walk with Wanda, strolling around our premises and making the most of the countryside we lived in. As much as I didn't want to admit, I was glad she'd dragged me outside, since the morning stroll only made me appreciate our home more.
When we returned, Wanda went to her studio whilst I made us some tea in the kitchen, hoping to warm us up after the slight chill in the Autumn air. I joined her soon enough, smiling when I saw how involved she was with her work in no time. The studio was big enough for her to make a mess and it not seem so messy since it was spacious enough. I shouldn't have expected any different – Wanda couldn't tidy up to save her life.
"One day I'm going trip over your things," I announced as I stepped over some loose materials by the door, teacup and saucer in hand.
She chuckled, though her attention was still on her painting. "When that day finally comes, I'll clean up. Promise."
"Of course," I muttered sarcastically.
I stopped behind her and studied the painting she was working on. It was a close-up of a flower bed, with intricate details being put in the flowers themselves and ladybirds flying around. Wanda sensed my presence and accepted the tea from my hand, smiling at me gratefully before blowing on it to cool it down.
"Is this that commission you got last week?" I asked curiously.
She nodded, unaware of the paint streaks on her face. I rested a hand on her shoulder and pressed a kiss to the top of her head, smiling at how adorable she was.
"The guy is paying double for me to put twelve ladybirds in the painting," she explained with amusement. "He wants to be able to count every single one."
I snorted with laughter. "Wow. That's very strange."
She shrugged, though I knew she was thinking the same. "A commission's a commission... is it evil if I only put eleven in?"
I laughed, nodding. She glanced up at me with a bright smile on her lips.
"It's very evil," I told her, before squeezing her shoulder.
She grabbed my hand on her shoulder, holding it comfortingly. "D'you want to do some gardening later?"
"Sure. I've just gotta do some work on my manuscript first. The writer's block is real."
"Of course," she said, giving me a knowing look. "Best-selling authors don't just become best-selling authors without putting in the work."
I rolled my eyes at her comment, but a smile played on my lips. "I'm leaving now."
She chuckled and I pressed a kiss to her cheek, trying not to get paint on my lips.
"Good luck with the writing," she said as I began to leave.
"And you with the painting," I called back.
Today was nothing special – probably a regular day when it came to Wanda and I's lives – but it made me smile. If the past three years had taught me anything, it was to be grateful for the mundane.
After Wanda broke things off with Y/B/N, it took a while for both of our families to recuperate. In their eyes, Y/B/N had broken things off because he wasn't interested in Wanda anymore, hence our parents' reaction. And Wanda's parents were upset because they believed it was her fault that Y/B/N wasn't interested, hence their reaction.
Our relationship with the Maximoffs was inescapable though, since Y/B/N and I were authors of theirs, so we had to mend what was broken. The only person who knew the truth about Wanda breaking it off with Y/B/N, apart from me and him, was Pietro. He didn't know why, but he knew that it was Wanda's choice.
After things calmed down between our families and everybody's anger had faded, around about the time that my second book was released, I'd saved enough money from the sales to buy a place of my own. With my father's help, I was able to buy a cottage in the countryside – the perfect place for privacy and to do my writing.
It was surprising that I got help from my dad, since I half expected him to be against the idea. But he was so proud of me for achieving all I had that he was happy to help. So, I got my own place and the first thing I did was invite Wanda to live with me. Nobody really saw it as more than two friends living together, especially since Wanda had started selling her paintings under a male pseudonym. Her parents were only reluctant because they wanted her to get married, but after she told them that she didn't want to and stood her ground, they left her alone.
I think they realised that they couldn't exactly stop her, and if they tried to, they'd lose their daughter in the process. So, to Wanda and I's excitement, we were moving in together...
"Are we there yet?" Wanda asked for the millionth time.
"Terpeniye (patience)," I told her, and felt her smile beneath my hands that were covering her eyes.
"Nice pronunciation," she commented, and I couldn't tell if she was teasing or not.
We finally stopped before the cottage and I was buzzing with excitement. I'd chosen it with Wanda in mind, a surprise for her, since I knew she'd only ever wanted to live in a place like this. What better way to give her that then now with me?
"Okay, this is it," I announced, removing my hands from her face.
I stepped beside her, leaning forward to see her reaction. She was raising her eyebrows with surprise, taking in the appearance of the front of the cottage. It was in a lovely field with tall trees and colourful flowers surrounding it. Vines had overgrown the bricks, but it looked stunning and I hoped Wanda would think the same.
Her lips curved upwards into a grin of disbelief. "This is it? This is ours?"
I pulled the key from my pocket and held it out towards her. "It is. All ours."
She laughed wholeheartedly, jumping up with excitement before grabbing the key and pulling me into a hug. I laughed alongside her, returning the hug, before pressing a kiss to her cheek and motioning to the door.
"Do the honours and I'll show you around," I told her with a smile.
She was practically beaming as she moved to the door, opening it. Her excitement only intensified when she saw the living-room it extended into, a large fireplace in the centre of the back wall and the furniture already in place.
"We can change the décor," I told her as I showed her around. "This came with the place, but we can change it up to however we want."
"I love it."
I intertwined our fingers, admiring the sparkle of delight in her blue eyes as she looked around the place eagerly. That was the look that made this whole thing worth it.
"You've not even see the best bit," I said, before tugging her into the hallway. "There's a kitchen and our bedroom and of course, a study for me, but this is the bit I know you'll love."
She watched with curiosity but allowed me to skip the other rooms and show her the room that I envisioned as her art studio. It was a spacious room, filled with random, old furniture from the previous owners, but I ignored it and stepped further inside, facing Wanda.
"This can be your studio!" I exclaimed, motioning around me. "Look, here can be where your desk can be." I pointed to the left wall, the space in front of it. "You can get some shelves put here for your supplies. And here–" I pointed to the space before the window at the back, "–is where you can paint on your easels. The natural light will be perfect!"
She followed my every move, hanging onto my every word, and nodded along with a joyful expression.
"I can't believe you've already thought about it," she admitted.
"Come here," I said, waving my hand for her to join me. She did and I wrapped an arm around her waist, stopping before the window. "You see that?"
"The perfect view," she realised, eyes wide as they took in the view of the garden, which I planned to show her next. "It's beautiful."
"You can paint everything there," I said with a nod. "The trees. The flowers. And this place isn't far from the train station, so we can take some day trips, too."
She leaned into my side gratefully. "Y/N, I love it. All of it."
My heart fluttered as she said that, it being all I wanted to hear.
"We can also get the coop for the chickens you wanted," I reminded her, before pointing out the window. "Right there. We'll get fresh eggs and they're cute – what's not to love?"
She pulled apart, arms still laced around me, and I waited to see what she thought. Her eyes twinkled in the sunlight coming from the window, matching the smile on her lips. Then she moved forward quickly, kissing me hard and leaving me no chance to react before she pulled away.
"I have no words," she said softly, caressing my cheek. "I'm so grateful."
My face was warm as I smiled shyly. "I'm glad. You know I'd do anything for you."
Her smile widened as she leaned in again. "Thank you."
Moving in with her was the best thing to happen to me, and my dream of being published had come true, so that was saying a lot. We both knew we could never get married and be together in public, but this was the next best thing. We had our own little slice of heaven to merely be, and it was perfect. She could paint as much as she liked and I could write as much as I liked, the two of us making a living and not having to rely on husbands we didn't love.
The only people who knew about the truth of our relationship was Steve. I knew I could never trust my family with the truth, knowing liking women was very different to becoming a writer. So, I was content with them living in denial about why Wanda and I lived together. Wanda was the same with her parents, but it was a few months into moving in when she decided she wanted to tell Pietro.
I was obviously hesitant, since Pietro was a standup guy, the reason I was even as successful as I was, but I wasn't sure if he'd be okay with discovering his sister liked women and I was the one she was with. Wanda was certain he'd understand though, since he was her twin and would only want the best for her. Plus, according to her, he loved me, so he wouldn't have a problem with it.
He was her twin at the end of the day, and nobody knew him better than her, so I trusted her to tell him and decided we could do it at dinner, inviting both him, Steve and Peggy over. Peggy didn't know about Wanda and I either, but I wanted to tell her, so we decided to do it together...
"We've been here three times and it still makes me jealous how peaceful it is," Peggy complimented as the five of us sat around the kitchen table. "No annoying neighbours. No nosy townspeople. It's perfect."
"Thank you," Wanda said with a friendly smile. "That's why we love it, too."
"Are you all finished?" I asked, standing up to grab mine and Wanda's plates.
"Oh, please, let me help," Pietro offered, about to stand up, but I shook my head.
"It's okay, I've got it," I politely declined, before stacking the plates together to take to the sink.
I glanced at Wanda and she gave me a knowing look before clearing her throat and looking to her brother.
"Piet, can you help me with something in my studio?" she asked him casually. "There's a lightbulb I can't quite reach."
He nodded and wiped his face with his napkin. "Er, sure." He looked to everyone else. "If you'll excuse me."
The two of them left the kitchen, leaving me with Steve and Peggy. I distracted myself with putting the plates in the sink before popping the kettle on, knowing they'd want tea.
"Dinner was lovely, Y/N, thank you for tonight," Steve started, easing the tension he knew I was feeling. I'd told him my intentions before inviting them and he was completely okay with the idea. "You and Wanda seem to be more and more comfortable every time we come here."
I leaned against the counter as I smiled gratefully at him, knowing he was giving me an opening to tell Peggy the truth.
"Yeah, we are," I said, eyes flickering to Peggy's as she watched on with interest. "We, er..."
My mouth went dry as the words I'd practiced in the mirror this morning escaped me. I'd only ever told Steve about Wanda and I, and that was by accident. I knew Peggy wouldn't judge me, but it was still terrifying to admit.
"Y/N, sweetie, are you okay?" Peggy asked, a hint of concern in her voice.
I nodded, swallowing hard. "Yes, sorry..." I just had to say it. No more overthinking. "Wanda and I are together. As more than more friends. I'm in love with her."
Peggy raised her brows with surprise, barely believing it, but then she glanced at Steve and knew I was being serious. I let out a breath of relief, glad that I'd finally said it.
She stood up from her seat and I was half-afraid she'd leave altogether, but she didn't. She walked to me and pulled me in for a hug, squeezing me gently.
"Thank you for trusting me with such an important thing," she said, pulling away and smiling at me gently. "I guess it makes sense. You both compliment each other well and make each other happy. It's beautiful to see."
"Thank you," I said, returning her smile. "That means a lot coming from you."
She nodded and glanced at her husband. "I take it Steve already knew."
He raised his hands in defence. "Hey, I basically figured it out myself!"
She rolled her eyes playfully and I couldn't help but laugh.
"He did," I backed him up. "And he was the only person to know, so I owe him a lot. He gave me the support I wanted when I had nobody else."
Peggy smiled endearingly at Steve before looking to me with kind eyes. "Well, now you're not alone. You have me, too."
"I know. I'm glad."
"Does anybody else know? Or is it just Steve and I?" she asked hesitantly.
"Just you two," I explained. "My family would never understand. Especially with Wanda and her history with my brother. Same with her family. But she's actually telling Pietro about us now. I can only hope he'll take it well."
Peggy was certain as she said, "I'm sure he will."
I made tea for all of us and joined Peggy and Steve at the table as we waited for the Maximoff twins' return. Eventually, Wanda returned with her brother in tow and judging by the smile on her face, I could only hope it went well. Though I noticed the tear streaks on her cheeks and joined her side with mild concern.
"Are you okay?" I asked, grabbing her hand, but I didn't get chance to hear a response as I felt myself being lifted off the ground.
"Y/N!" Pietro exclaimed in my ear, hugging me from behind. "Welcome to the family, sestra (sister)!"
He set me down and stepped beside his sister, wrapping an arm around her shoulder and tugging her close. A grin was directed my way as Wanda's cheeks dusted pink. She was glowing with happiness, her brother's opinion mattering the most, and it warmed my heart to witness.
"I see things went well," I noticed, before smiling at Pietro. "Thank you, Pietro. It means a lot to have your support. Though you know this doesn't make me your sister, right?"
"Yet," he pointed out, making me sigh. "You know, I always suspected you had the hots for my sister, but I could never be sure."
Now it was my turn to flush with embarrassment, especially when Steve and Peggy laughed from the sidelines.
"Wanda's happiness is all that matters to me," he continued, looking to his sister with a genuine smile. "I'm glad she picked the right Y/L/N."
I chuckled awkwardly, eyes falling to a nervous Wanda. "Me and you both, mate." He laughed, patting me on the back, and I gave him an appreciative nod. "Seriously, though, thank you, Pietro. Your approval means a lot."
"No problem," he said with a shrug. "I'm always here if you need me."
"As are we," Peggy added, before looking to Wanda. "Both of you. Anything you need, ever, just let us know. It's what we're here for."
"Thank you," Wanda said for both of us, and when she looked my way, I knew she was thinking the same thing I was.
We were lucky that the most important people in our lives knew the truth about us and were supportive. We couldn't have asked for anything more.
As promised, after spending the morning on my manuscript and Wanda with her commission, we went into the garden to do some gardening. And by we, I meant I was doing it as she attempted to help out beside me.
"Hey, I think there's something stuck here," Wanda said, fingers stuck in a pot of soil.
"Then pull it out," I said like it was obvious, trying not to laugh.
I continued to rake the plant beds before me so I could eventually plant some vegetable seeds when Wanda's adamant voice spoke up again.
"I think you should check it out, Y/N, I can't seem to get it."
"Wanda..."
"Come on!" she insisted, and I sighed dramatically before dropping my rake and heading towards her.
Kneeling down beside her, I took a peek in the plant pot and put my hand in, rooting around until my fingers found something metal.
"It seems to be a ring," I realised, pulling it out and dusting the soil off it. "Maybe the suppliers of the soil dropped it in accidentally. Or maybe a bird dropped it in the pot without you realising..." I chewed on my lip with thought. "Huh. Well, here you go."
I gave it back to Wanda and prepared myself to stand back up, but Wanda groaned and facepalmed.
"What's got your knickers in a twist?" I asked with an amused smile.
She looked up at me through parted fingers. "It's my ring."
"How many times have I told you to stop wearing rings when we're gardening?!" I said questioningly, shaking my head. "Stuff like this always happens!"
She rolled her eyes and looked up to the sky. "Why am I in love with an idiot?"
"Wanda–"
"It's for you," she said, holding out the ring.
I furrowed my brows. "Well, why didn't you just– wait." My eyes widened as I realised what she was implying, feeling stupid for not realising sooner. "Is this– are you– huh?"
Wanda swallowed nervously before clutching the ring tightly and meeting my gaze. "I've been in love with you for a long time, you know that," she said softly, her accent thick with emotion. "The time we've spent here in our little safe haven has been the best of my life. And I... I know we live in a world that won't let us be together. But that hasn't stopped us."
My heart was hammering in my chest as Wanda offered me a small, nervous smile. We'd never talked about marriage since we were so content in our little bubble, but clearly she'd thought about it without me knowing. I guess I had, too. But I never expected either of us to do anything about it.
"I know we can never really be married, but what is marriage if not a union between two people who are in love anyway? I mean, we basically already have that." She snickered to ease her nerves, then licked her lips shakily, eyes tearing up. "I'm asking you to marry me and if you say yes, I'll know you're my wife and that's all that'll matter... so Y/N Y/L/N. Will you marry me?"
I didn't even need to think about it. Wanda was the love of my life and just like she'd said, the past three years had been the best. We could never truly be married in the eyes of the world, but she'd be my wife and that would be enough. She'd always be enough.
"Of course I will, Wanda," I answered, tears of happiness slipping from my eyes.
She raised her eyebrows. "Yes? You said yes?"
I laughed, nodding, and leaned forward to kiss her. She returned the favour, salty tears mingling between our lips, but it didn't matter because she was going to be my wife and that's all I could think about.
Our smiles broke the kiss and I wiped her tears away with my thumb before pressing another kiss to her lips.
"Here, let me put this on you," she said between laughter, hands fumbling as she tried to find mine.
I put out my hand and let her slide the ring on my finger. It was a simple silver band with a small, elegant gemstone sat on top, perfect for someone like me who didn't like anything too flashy.
"It's beautiful, Wanda, thank you," I said, smiling through my tears.
"I've been wanting to ask you for a while, but I wasn't sure you'd say yes," she admitted.
"Are you joking? Why wouldn't I?" I asked with an exploding happiness in my chest. "I'm so bloody in love with you, Wanda Maximoff."
She laced our fingers together as she nodded in agreement. "That's good. Because I'm in love with you, too."
And when she said that, it wasn't unlike anything she'd told me before. If she wasn't telling me she loved me, she was showing me in all sorts of ways. But this was different... this was the first time she'd told me as my fiancé. And then she'd soon be my wife. And it made me realise.
I'd spent so long thinking that if we were in a different life, we could have had it all. But we were getting it all now, so maybe, just maybe, this wasn't the wrong lifetime after all.
FIN.

watching tommy's exile meeting vod from december 2nd, will update with things i find interesting as i watch
"if the roles were reversed, i wouldn't even think about exiling you" - tommy. haha foreshadowing for the actual exile haha
tommy: you have bees.
tubbo: i do have bees!
tommy: if they all died, that'd be fuckin...
tubbo: that'd be awful. probably all of humanity would die with them.
...
"i am addressing the elephant in the room, which is me. although i am not the size of an elephant. in height i am! not in weight. if i was the size of an elephant though -" *laughs* "if i was stretchy, this world would be real different right now." what goes on in tommyinnit's mind.
tommy preemptively preparing everyone for him to fuck up the meeting and no one listening... tommy knowing he was going to ruin it for himself and knowing he'd somehow let tubbo down.... fuuuuuck
tubbo: minutes man, we summon you!
ranboo, materializing in the seat next to tubbo with a book and quill in hand: hey
tommy: what the FUCK,
we all talk about wilbur's acting with his facecam, but tommy does it a lot too. the way he rolls his eyes and shakes his eyes with a confident smirk every time dream speaks, the way he looks shocked when things go wrong. goddamn
jack manifold watching the whole meeting, listening the whole time, just following them around with very little input. hmmmm
Tumblr media
he was taunting him. the fucker knew
tubbo desperately wanted a way out for tommy. he wanted to give him probation to escape whatever dream had planned. he never ever wanted to do what he had to do.
dream: "tommy, let the adults speak." hmm, sounds familiar... almost like a line techno would repeat almost exactly a month later, when talking with dream about the favour.
Tumblr media
he was taunting him the whole meeting. trying to provoke tommy into snapping.
"this isn't some "insanity arc," i'm not following down wilbur's path!" ouch ok tommy
the way tubbo's voice flattened in tone when he said "you're speaking out of line." he knew tommy had fucked it from the moment he brought out spirit.
god, the second it seemed tommy knew what he was doing, fundy and quackity were on his side. tubbo was the only one who remained serious the whole time, knowing dream had something up his sleeve.
everyone turning on tubbo the second it seemed like they were winning because he was the only one to realize something was wrong. fuck, man
"i don't give a FUCK about spirit." holy shit way to pop off with the voice acting???
the fact that c!tommy genuinely can't imagine being unable to care about things because himself and c!dream are such polar opposites when it comes to attachment. tommy loves with ALL his heart, he cares so deeply and so warmly and so fiercely. dream cares for nothing unless it gives him an edge, an advantage. that's why tommy was certain that holding spirit's remains over dream would help them win. he couldn't picture being unable to care about anything.
"l'manberg can be independent, but l'manberg can't be free." *dream leaves the call.* DANGGGG
tubbo, very softly and calmly: "tommy. you had one job." hoooly shit
the way tubbo snapped at quackity and fundy and began to argue with them while tommy zoned out and stared at dream as he began to extend the walls upwards in disbelief. god
"you couldn't do one thing for me! you couldn't do one! you couldn't do one thing, and it was for your own good! so yeah, if the roles were reversed, you probably wouldn't have exiled me - because i would have actually listened! i would have had a couple ounces of respect! ... you've messed this up for no one but yourself." *pause* "you're selfish." c!tubbo.... :stress:
RANBOO STANDING UP FOR TOMMY???? RANBOO SPINE ARC??????
"tubbo, you said that tommy was selfish. that he doesn't care about anyone else. that's not true. i robbed george's house too. i did it with him. but in court, he said that it was just him. he could have pinned the blame on me, he could have said it was me, there was evidence it was me - but he didn't. he's not selfish. he can't be selfish. me and tommy robbed george's house. we didn't mean for it to burn. we didn't want to burn anything down." HOLY FUCK WHY HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS SCENE BEFORE
tommy: tubbo, you can't become what you hate. you can't become the next schlatt. if you exile me, you're following in that man's footsteps.
tubbo: .. ok. well, if i can't be the next schlatt, you can't be the next wilbur.
Tumblr media
ouch
tommy: the only thing dream wants is the one thing i care about. *realizes, glances at ranboo* well, not the one thing.
tubbo, deadpan: mhm. the one thing you care about.
literal chills from tubbo's voice acting what the FUCK
"what do YOUUU think, connoreatspants?" ok now we're onto the lighter stuff thank god hakshsksjk
fundy: so if eventually the people choose not to exile tommy... what happens to l'manberg?
tubbo, about to come up with a serious answer: i guess -
tommy: it gets fucking simpsons movie'd, bro, we get boxed in
tubbo, immediately breaking character: I LOVE THAT MOVIE
tommy: this guy's a wrongun, ranboo.
techno, literally just vibing: •_•
tommy explaining server history to ranboo? telling ranboo that techno was at fault for the crater of l'manberg? wuh oh
"wilbur died in action, so he didn't live long enough to face the consequences." o h
tommy taking ranboo to the bench to watch the moon go down, not turning to see the sunrise like usual. hey i could make symbolism out of this
TOMMY THANKING RANBOO FOR STICKING UP FOR HIM.... ALLIUMDUO REAL
c!tommy has nightmares about wilbur, huh. interesting interesting interesting interesting
"i knew that if tubbo was president... it would pull us apart, ranboo." IMAGE OF A CAT CRYING HERE
ranboo and connor's first meeting being tommy getting ranboo to help him evict connor from his house hsksbskdjsk
connor: "never trust a british man. that's what my parents taught me, in the 1800s." IMMORTAL CONNOR HAS ALWAYS BEEN REAL WE WERE ALL SO BLIND
LITTLE PENIS LAND
FJDKDHDK JACK APPEARING TO ADVERTISE MANIFOLD LAND
"hey jack you've actually just been exiled from this land here" "no" I FORGOT HOW FUNNY THESE TWO WERE
Tumblr media
monkaS
tommy: i've never seen dream that angry.
ranboo: well, this is the first time i've actually ever heard him speak
tommy: oh
OH MY GOD WAS THIS THE DAY THAT TUBBO MADE THE JOKE ABOUT C!WILBUR BEING DEAD TO FUNDY AND HE ENDED STREAM AND LEFT BAHAHAHA
"this is a very wide taco stand" i love dream smp lore
"i don't wanna go. there is no wilbur anymore. i'm on my own. i don't want to be on my own." OK NEVERMIND GO BACK TO THE TACO STAND LORE
wow ok that really was just IT, huh. what the hell man that was heartbreaking

— 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐓 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑.
𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒: sLight angst, just a lil bit. & language!
𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐑'𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒: this is bertholdt x fem! reader.
"love me tender, love me sweet; never let me go."
Tumblr media
he is,, so sweet.
quite closed off at first, as one would imagine— nevertheless, though, he's incredibly gentle to you, and just an all around sweetheart. bertholdt's known for his kinder tendencies, but with you, it's an entirely different playing field.
you would sit with both him and reiner during mealtimes, which typically goes either one of two ways: it's quiet, and mainly just simple conversation between the three of you. or, reiner gets pulled into some shitty shenanigan (usually enforced by connie or sasha), ultimately dragging you and your poor boyfriend with him.
^ one time, the three of you + connie and jean were challenged to steal a single pound of bread from commander shadis' quarters, without getting caught. you were nearly caught lmao, bertholdt had to enact his long limbs™ to reach out and yAnk you back into the shadows. it was romantic <3
when it isn't nighttime, cuddles with him are a motherfucking godsend. the two of you alternate between little spoon & big spoon, because both of y'all need that sort of comfort. he cherishes the moments where he can pull you into his chest, burying his face within your hair while the two of you serenade in the silence.
when it is nighttime, though, and the two of you are fast asleep, it's literal hell JDJFK. everyone knows about bert's heinous sleeping habits, and with yoU in the mixture?? lord, he's kicked you off the bed before.
he felt AWFUL
"oHhmygoDy/NareyouokAywhaThapPened-"
you end up developing a system, where you just fucking latch onto his back while the two of you sleep, locking him in place while also comfortably cuddling. sometimes you drool on his back lmao, but he doesn't mind.
matching PAJAMAAAAAS
yes, it was his idea. don't make fun of him, he's trying his bEST-
during expeditions, he quietly frets over you. while everyone is prepping for going outside the walls, he stares at you from a distance, trying his best to remain positive. reiner typically has to snap him out of it, placing a hand on his shoulder and telling him to focus.
he, however, does not focus!! the entire time, he's using his goddamn height to his advantage to glance above the crowd, making sure you're doing okay. he doesn't want to openly worry for you, though, because he doesn't want you to feel belittled. he's aware that you're strong, and he's aware that you're capable. still, you're his. he worries.
he'll drop his horse on its ass in order to save you from a dickless ogre, i'll tell y'all that much.
while reiner has grown a liking towards you, annie couldn't care less for your well-being. not at first, anyway. she really, really doesn't like you, or the threat you oppose towards their mission. of course, you don't even know about said mission, but nevertheless, bertholdt is better off without you. to her, you're nothing but a casualty.
^ this doesn't mean she can't GROW to like you, of course. for a long time, though she rlly doesn't like you
catching feelings for you wasn't easy at all for bert,, like at all. he constantly attacked himself for growing attached to you, and as his feelings intensified, so did his self hate. it felt as if he was betraying his homeland and the love of his life at the exact same time— everything contradicted against one another, leading to one hell of struggle. poor bby didn't know what he wanted more, to go home or be with you :,))
eventually (i'll let the reader imagine how), he gave in, and the time the two of you spend together is great 🥺
back to actual headcanons JDJF;&&(& bertholdt is OBSESSED with your hands. touching them, kissing them, holding them, etc. the gestures are always quiet, like placing his hand ontop of yours beneath the table, but they're sweet. he loves your hands, ty. in a modern world, he would paint your nails for you and do a DARN GOOD JOB 😭
if he catches you wearing one of his shirts, he'll melt right into the floor. he's a lanky fellow, so the shirt itself would definitely be somewhat loose on you, which he loves. one morning, you were in a rush to get out of the boy's barracks, and you accidentally grabbed his shirt instead of your own. during breakfast, he walked into the mell hall only to see you, iN his bigass shirt, the ends aggressively tucked into your pants so that it wouldn't sag.
he was like :0
nobody even realized that the two of you were an item until, like,, moNths into your relationship. he's keen on keeping things on the down low, he's introverted & constantly struggling xoxo. they found out through ymir, who caught him pecking you on the cheek before curfew. needless to say, she exposed you to the entire girl's bunker that same night.
one time before he asked you out you made a lesbian joke and he took it literally JDJJF
oh, she isn't even into men.
then like a week later he overheard you calling some random salesman in the city attractive and he was so fucking confused
whTsttegoiNgoN
eventually, reiner got sick of it and literally just asked you flat out: "so, what's your ballgame?"
bertholdt had eighteen back to back panic attacks in the corner KDKGKKOH
when it comes to your hobbies, he's got each and every one memorized. through silent pining for you from a distance, he's picked up on the little things. you're an artist? wow, he's obsessed. you're a poet? please, serenade him to sleep with your wishful thinking. you won't even have to tell him, by the time you're together, he just knows.
if you're short, he's,, protective. he's protective either way, but if you're on the smaller scale, he feels this undying need to just encAse you in his arms, protecting you from the outside world. he also wouldn't know how to act a majority of the time KDJKF he's literally a beanstalk of a man, how the fuck does he operate with you??
^ enjoy him having to lean down a considerable amount to kiss you on the forehead jjdhfh
the same goes for if you're of average height!! not too drastic of a difference.
if you're tall, you're a queen. he's humored whenever he sees you towering over the others, and he lOves the fact that he's one of the only ones that towers over you. it's actually really cute, seeing him smile like a cutie as he rests his cheek on the side of your head while the short bitches are biTteR
he's a tad bit obsessive when it comes to treating whatever wounds you may have, because he worries more intensely than most. you get a measly papercut, he's the only wrapping up your finger .7 seconds after you started bleeding. he does this thing once it's tended to where he places a tiny kiss atop the bandages, it's really sweet.
10/10 boyfriend, minus the angst that i refused to include 💞 smd smd SMD SMD

If I wasn’t a goddamn werewolf - Pt. 4
Tumblr media
Things with your boyfriend are getting worse, and seems like Derek will not give up on you easily. Word count: 2.867 Pairings: Reader x Derek; Reader x Platonic!Talia Contain: Some angst, some fluff, Original characters (Daniel, your boyfriend)  Warnings: English is not my main language <3; Inappropriate language TEEN WOLF MASTERLIST PART 1  |  PART 5
Your eyes open slowly.
It was a sunny morning, with the orange lights of the sun passing through the windows of the loft. You were close to Derek's naked chest, and his fingers running slowly through your hair tell you that he woke up before you.
"Oh, damn, did I woke you up?" He asks you, worried, putting a sweet kiss on your forehead.
"No." You throw your arm on his waistline, pulling him close while looks at his green and sleepy eyes "Good morning."
A smile was born on Derek's lips, and he gets closer to you. His thumb runs through your face while he puts a soft kiss on your lips.
"Good morning." He mumbles, with his eyes attached to yours.
It's been a wonderful night. You and Derek had a stroll around the city on his Camaro, and then you guys stopped in a clearing into the woods. There you drank a few, and you and Derek laughed and cuddled all night. He requested you to came to his loft and spend the night with him, and you couldn't say no to his proposal. That's how you ended at his bed, with clothes from both of you spread through the bedroom's floor.
You and Derek said nothing for a while. You were just looking at each other, with sweetness and pure love emitting from each other's look. Of course, you didn't need to say anything. Actually, any word would mess up that moment when both of you were just feeling the presence of each other. Wow, he was so beautiful...
Derek gives a soft smile for you, and you almost melted in pure love. Suddenly, you felt butterflies in your stomach. Oh, God, that would be the perfect moment to tell him about your feelings. But you couldn't. You needed to go.
"I'll get late for a meeting with a client, so I have to go." Your voice was low and soft, and you gave him a slow kiss as a way to say goodbye. Then, you stood up from the bed, with just your panties covering your body.
He sats on the bed.
"Do you really need it?"
"Yeah." You said, wearing your bra and taking your shirt from the floor "You know, I have a few bills to pay. I hate adult life." You look at him with a small smile, and you wear your shirt.
Derek put himself on his knees on the bed and stretch his arms in your direction, grabbing your shirt. You let out a chuckle.
"I think your client will be understanding with you if you get late."
He pulls you in his direction, making you laugh.
"No, he won't! Stop, I have to go!"
Derek's arms wrap around your waistline, and he throws you on the mattress while chuckling. His green eyes get attached to yours and, then he puts several soft kisses onto your neck. His voice was low.
"I just need ten minutes more with you."
You close your eyes and wrap your fingers around his hair, just feeling his kisses through your skin while he puts his body over yours. His kisses had some kind of magic that could let you immovable and weak.
"Damn, I can't say no for you." You mumble.
Derek looks at you with a soft smile. He grabs your legs, putting them attached to his hips, and puts a slow and wet kiss on your lips. It was impossible not to smile between the kiss. You got late for your meeting that day.
That was the last time you woke up in his bed.
This time, when you opened your eyes, you didn't hear Derek's voice.
Sometimes, when you miss him, you close your eyes and start to remember all things you had lived together, from your friendship until your last moments. Your missing about him always seems stronger in the mornings. You both used to cuddle that hour of the day. After all, you both used to cuddle that hour of the day.
You felt the arm of your boyfriend on you, with your back on his chest. He was called Daniel. Well, you love him, but not the way he wants so much. He is such a successful surgeon and would give you the world if you wanted to. Everything is great with Dan: The dates, the conversations, sex... But, of course, he wasn't Derek.
That day, you needed to go to your training with Derek. So, you stood up from the bed, just wearing your lace panties. Dan sits on the mattress with arched eyebrows.
"Good morning for you too, cranky."
You turn yourself to face him, letting out a long sigh.
"Good morning. Sorry, baby. I'm just hurrying."
"Hurrying for what?"
To see another man.
"Uh..." You bite your inner lip, trying to think of a lie "Laura and I are just doing some exercises together. I'm late, and she'll kill me. She hates delay."
"She hates everything. Can't you stay here with me?"
Oh, God, and there he is: Looking at you with that puppy eyes.
"I can't. I'm sorry."
You walk to the wardrobe and takes some clothes while Dan lets out a long sigh of frustration.
"I just can't recognize you anymore. You are full of secrets from me. What's the problem?"
When you heard him, you stopped your way to the bathroom. Oh god. The last thing you want is to hurt his feelings. Dan just simply doesn't deserve this.
"Nothing, Dan. Really." You said, looking at him. The guilt was already filling your heart. "I'm just too busy. I'll compensate you for this." You go in his direction and curves your body, getting close to Dan and giving him a short and cold peck. "I promise."
Dan stares at you for a few seconds, complete disbelief about your words. He let out a long and tired sigh.
"Okay, if you say so..."
Damn. You were messing up everything. You hadn't time to fix things between both of you, so you go take a shower thinking in a way to conciliate your new life with your personal one.
Your time on the pack made you think about if you met Derek for real. He was such a different person with them! He was a tough one, rude and distant. He was the complete opposite when both of you were friends, mainly when you used to date. Derek was such an adorable man with you those times.
Is Derek has created a character when he was your boyfriend? Well, you didn't know.
In the beginning, at your training with your brand new alpha, he was cold and distant. Now he still the same way, but he is fussier than ever. Your training with him made you feel tired to death. However, that day, he noticed you were different.
"Go take five minutes resting." He said, with his analytical eyes on you. He wasn't too fussy today, and he almost seems a little bit more... caring. "You're with your head in the clouds today."
You walked in your water bottle direction while he spokes with you. With his comment, you look at him while you take a few sips.
"What?" You said, putting the water bottle away from your lips. Crap, Derek knows you so well...
"You're unfocused." Derek crosses his arms, narrowing his eyes from you "It's not your thing."
You put the water bottle on the floor, close to your smartphone. You took the cellphone, expecting Dan's messages because he always sends you a few while you're training. That day, you received nothing. Yeah, Dan was pissed off with you. You let out a long sigh, guilty.
"It's nothing." You said, unlocking the screen and going to Instagram. Then, you saw something that made you freeze: Dan's best friend posted a photo of them, still at college. He was wishing a happy birthday for Dan.
Crap! It was Dan's birthday, and you completely forgot!
You hide your face in your hand.
"Oh, damn..."
"You sure it's nothing?"
Derek still is looking at you, pretty open if you needed to talk with someone. He knew something was wrong with you. He saw you upset so many times that he knew when something was wrong.
You put your cellphone on the floor again, with your lips compressed. Then, ashamed as hell, you cross your arms and look to any part of the basement except Derek.
"It's Dan's birthday. The first we would spend together, and I just forgot it."
"You're definitely in trouble."
"Damn, I know." You let out a long sigh. "I just-"
"Look" He gets closer to you, looking you into your eyes "Don't push yourself too hard. You have been through a lot. It shouldn't be easy to just be part of this supernatural world all of a sudden. There's too much in your mind now."
Oh, he always knows how to calm you down... Or It was just the effect of his voice on you? Maybe both.
"I really don't want to think that way. I don't want to use all of this werewolf bullshit to be an excuse for being negligent with my boyfriend."
Derek shook his head negatively.
"(Y/N), you're not using this as an excuse-"
"I'm a terrible girlfriend, Jesus!" You slide your hand through your face "Dan don't deserve it."
Derek gives you a rueful look, hating to see you that way. Of course, you were just guilty with everything about you and Dan, but Derek doesn't need to knows it.
"Hey, look at me." He said, calling you to think straight. You instantaneously look at him, and he continued to talk. "Dan is a real lucky guy to have you."
And, God, how Derek envies him!
However, the entire world stopped when you gave him a soft smile, thankful for his words. The effect of his voice on you was - and maybe always will be - completely magical. Your smile made the same with him: made his heart race and get warm, and he felt an almost ethereal feeling.
Because, yeah, both of you had this kind of unreal bond.
"Thank you for your support, Der."
All that situation with Dan made you put your guard down. Derek knew how to use it to get closer to you again. Of course, he did it perfectly. It resulted in a conversation between both of you in months - a real conversation! And you even had called him by his nickname.
It was his turn to gave you a smile. You always melted in pure love.
"I'll always be here for you, (Y/N). You know it."
But... If Derek is just lying for you again? If he just wants to take advantage of you? He did it once, and he could perfectly do that again. Why not?
"Well..." You breathe in, recovering yourself of that sudden breathless and arousing your defenses again "I think I'm ready to continue training."
Derek compresses his lips, getting your silent and cutting message of 'stay away from me'. He breathes in and nods for you without saying any word.
You and Derek hadn't spoken to each other for the rest of the day.
Everyone was out to solve some kind of issue with a sort of creature in town. Derek has not authorized you to go with them because you were such a young werewolf, and you don't know how to defend yourself, so it could be dangerous for you and all of them. It was near 9PM, and you still were not ready to go to Dan's house. You had made a promise to him this morning, but you still don't know how to fix things. So, as a way to avoid your problems, you stay at the new Hale house until you figure out what you could do for Dan's birthday - and, also, what you could do to compensate him for all the bother you cause him.
You were laid on the couch, with your eyes fixed in the ceiling and thoughtful. Suddenly, a female voice launches you out of your own thoughts.
"I think we didn't meet each other properly. Seems like the perfect chance, don't you think?"
You sat on the couch and look at the owner of that voice, close to the frame that divides the living room and the entrance hall: It was Talia, the one you had heard so much about. You didn't know that, but she also heard a lot about you.
"Yeah, I think it is. I mean, we don't have to worry about all the mess this house is with the rest of the pack."
Talia gave you a smile, and you gave it back.
"It's pretty crazy. Teenagers are energical." She said, sitting on the couch next to you.
"Yeah, they are. But seems like they try to control themselves when Derek is close."
"Oh, of course. They are pretty aware that Derek could rip their necks."
You let out a chuckle.
"Yeah, I noticed that."
Talia lay down on the couch, staring at the ceiling. The living room dives in silence, but not an awkward one. It was comfortable.
"So..." Talia broke the silence "I know you've passed through a lot. It's not easy being a werewolf suddenly and find out about a whole new world at the same time. It's a lot of information."
"I'm trying really hard. You have no idea. But I'm pretty worried about my boyfriend, Dan. I don't want to mess up things between us. You know, because of all of that supernatural thing."
Well, you don't want to mess up even more things between both of you.
"Take it easy. You get it with time." Talia looks at you, analytical "I know we aren't too close to each other, but I'll ask something because I worry about anyone who is part of the pack: You are, you know, happy with Dan?"
That question caught you by surprise, and you hesitate. Talia seems to notice it. But, finally, you reply to her.
"Uh... Dan do everything to makes me happy, you know?"
"Yeah, I know, but I also know that it doesn't answer my question."
Since the supermarket day, when Talia saw you for the first time, she noticed countless things that needed to be fixed. The first one was you and Dan. It was pretty obvious to her that you are not happy with him, as well as it was the fact that you needed some advice. She recognizes a lost soul when she sees one.
With her words, you hesitate again.
"When you say happy, you mean...?"
"I mean happiness, (Y/N). It shouldn't be difficult to answer this. There are just two possible alternatives: Yes, or no."
You compress your lips, thoughtful while looks at the ceiling. You felt in a therapy session. And honestly? You kinda needed this kind of conversation.
You spend a few seconds in silence as you were thinking about a reply.
"Yes, I am. Dan is perfect."
"But you think he is perfect for you?"
Hell no. Dan was perfect to be your best friend, and not something more. You always wanted someone who could pluck the air out of your lungs, someone who could put adrenaline into your veins. You want someone who could put your entire body on fire. Dan is unable to do it. He is too stable, like water.
But Derek... Oh, he was the pure meaning of fire.
"Well..." You let out a long sigh "I think he is."
Talia stares at you with arched eyebrows.
"Think? Oh, girl..." She let out a long sigh "Questions like these should have quick responses. It's a consequence for..."
"For being in love. I know."
"You're not happy, are you?"
It was your turn to look at her, recognizing a safe place there. You were honest now.
"Jesus, no. He's a great guy, but he got me so bored!"
Talia let out a low chuckle, looking at the ceiling now.
"It's visible you're not happy. I can see your discouraged look on the days you need to go to his house. If you're not happy, then why are you still with this guy?"
Because you need to move on, and you think Dan is the right man for it. You could fall for him with time.
"It's complicated..."
Your answer came with a long and thoughtful sigh. Talia knew all your drama with Derek, as well as the entire pack. So, she didn't need your explanations to find out about what the term 'it's complicated' means to you.
"I can understand you." She stood up from the couch, looking at you "But be careful to not lie to yourself. Be honest with you. I'm pretty sure things will get better. Otherwise, you can talk with me."
You sat on the couch, feeling a bit better. It was good to be honest with someone about all of that, after all.
"I'll remember it." You gave her a smile "Thank you."
Talia returns your smile and walks to the kitchen. And, now, you need to solve things with Dan.
And, maybe, with yourself.

[ SUGAWARA KOUSHI & OIKAWA VERSION. ] [ MIYA ATUSMU VERSION. ] [ KUROO TETSURO & KOZUKE KENMA VERSION. ] [ IWAIZUMI HAJIME VERSION. ]
-ˏˋ playing soleil's tape ˊˎ-
[ 📼 ] . . . no thoughts, head and heart full of bokuto koutaro
Tumblr media
BOKUTO KOUTARO.
➜ bokuto wanted to have a baby with you
➜ that's it that's the tweet thank you for reading😌💅
➜ i'm kidding don't leave, i have abandonment issues
➜ just like oikawa, kou ─ your husband, has gotten baby fever and it wasn't going down any minute until bb boy gets his way
➜ phew, i'd let him get his way with me✋😳
➜ bokuto was great with kids, always playing around with them in a park as if he was one of them, and both of you knew that
➜ and when bokuto sees that you're also good with kids, mans knew he wanted to build a family with you
➜ he wanted not just one, because seeing what both of you created taking in different forms and pieces of their parents would leave him so proud
➜ would very much take it as a sign from the universe saying to him that the both of you were meant to be patents
➜ the day he lets you awknowledge his little daydream, was when the both of you were sitting down on the coach re-watching his match last week after babysitting one of your guys' friend's kid
➜ mans couldn't TAKE IT ANYMORE
➜ the way you coo at the child, you cooked with the child and just the way you tenderly supported the kid with your arms as you helped him reach a toy from the shelf
➜ and of course, you accepted it; there wasn't any other man other than kou that you wanted to start a family with
➜ let's just say mans wanted to make one right then and there after you confessed to him that you wanted to start a family with him as well
➜ and y'all did just that💀
➜ after receiving the news of your pregnancy, bokuto has never been more happy, aside from those times he won a match on nationals and, well ─ marrying you
➜ but in the white noise of excitement and joyfulness, there was a lingering thought and it was terrifying; what if he doesn't make enough time for both you and his child because of volleyball? will he have to take a break from it? would your child love him?
➜ bokuto was now down to emo mode just with the thought of your guys' children hating him
➜ and when the thoughts became to unbearable, he contacts akaashi.
“ bokuto-san, ” koutaro could tell akaashi was thinking about it before saying something,
“ you're one of the best men i know that's good with children; don't waste your time sulking about nonsensical what if's, when the present is right there in front of you ”
➜ akaashi was, to say the least, your one of your children's godfather.
➜ but the day your babies was going to arrive, it was as if your husband had a switch and unlike the usual ─ he was the one supporting you
➜ he held your hand, squeezing them to let you be aware that he's right there by your side, knowing that you needed all the support right now and he gave it to you
➜ tenfolds the support you gave him
➜ and when be first saw the first triplet being born, he knew right there that he fell in love once again, but with the child he has co-produced with the love of his life !!
➜ i just wanted to say that y'all's kids are NIGHT OWLS, literally, gets the biggest bursts of energy at ungodly hours
➜ koutaro would still get anxious and terrified, but there was something about your triplets that puts him at ease ─ like, one thing he'd be doubting himself and then the next thing, he'd be all fuzzy inside when his three triplets just looked like a litter of puppies asking for his attention on his lap
➜ and he'd just, revert back to reality seeing how blessed he was and stopped doubting himself and just live in the present
➜ EYE ─ I'M SO SOFT I CAN'T😭✋
“ now say dada ” he encouraged the little sunshines on his lamp as a youthful giggle serenated from his son's lips
“ dawa ─ ” the baby tried to copy his words, before shreiking of laughter when kosuke saw the defeated look on his father's face, somehow bringing him joy
➜ while his baby girl, kouzumi, was peacefully attached to him as the most interesting in her golden eyes were his hair ─ attempting to reach her arms to his hair, making grabby arms
➜ after a few months, you've noticed how much your triplets were in sync with their father ─ all together, being balls of sunshine
“ you've been trying for hours kou, take a break. ” you laugh, as you looked up from the book you were holding seeing your husband housing an offended look, and of course ─ a weird sound, a scoff? you didn't know, until, your other son imitated him
➜ almost perfecting the one he made
➜ and bokuto was ECSTATIC
“ hONEY, HONEY, OH MY GOD DID YOU HEAR THAT? ” he squealed, as his son imitated his sound again
“ he's responding to me !! ”
“ dO IT AGAIN KOSUKE ” he says as he takes out his phone
➜ the type of father to do the peek-a-boo game with his triplets and doing it perfectly as they're just enamured by his father as if he was doing some avada kedevra shit 😭🗿
➜ hey queen!! 🙆👑 GIRL, YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN, CONSTANTLY RAISING📈📉 THE BAR🔝 FOR US AND DOING IT F L A W L E S S  L Y
➜ the type of father that would never miss any important moments with his children, even though he's a busy with volleyball especially since it's his profession
➜ the type of father that has too many videos of his children on his phone saying papa in different ways, trying to imitate him, first steps, first laugh & JUST EVERYTHING
➜ has a whole usb of his children, three folders for each of them
➜ has a whole ass frame of his daughter's drawing from five years old of him and her and he would NOT let anyone touch it other than him and maybe you when you when you need to dust off the frames because it's getting too dusty
➜ you guys would always be there to support him no matter what, either in the stands of at home
➜ but when you guys do visit his games and cheer him on, MANS WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE
“ mommy !! look, daddy's coming ” kaoru, the youngest of your triplets, tugged softly on your coat
➜ you smiled as you saw your husband running up to you and your kids after his matches as a few reporters, in respect, stood a few meters away from you guys, taking kosuke on his right arm, the other with kaoru and on top of his shoulders was kouzumi tugging on her father's spiked hair she could never seem to get over with
“ ahH ─ my hair baby girl, you're kinda hurting daddy ” koutaru laughed as your daughter tried processing his words before wrapping her arms around his head softly to not fall off a small gasp escaping her lips
“ i'm sowry for hurting you daddy! ” she exclaimed as her brothers tried telling her off while the reporters just watched in awe at her
“ don't hurt daddy just because he lets you on top of there ─ ” kosuke scolded her, slightly jealous that she had the highest view
“ ─ yeah! ” your youngest vigorously nodded his head as he agreed to his brother, both obviously pouting that she had the chance to be ontop of their father's shoulders
“ uh kou, i can take them now since there's a few people wanting to interview you. ” you offered as you jerked your head onto the reporters directions smiling at them
“ oh no ma'am !! it's alright, we also kinda wanted to interview your children as well, since a lot of netizens are curious about them, seeing them everywhere on his socials. ”
➜ you guys agreed as they start asking you guys questions, but more to the triplets as they responded cutely, their identical amber eyes looking at them like an owl in curiousity
➜ JUST IMAGINE THREE ADORABLE OWL LOOKING KIDS HANGING ON TO THEIR MOTHER OWL AND BOKUTO JUST LOOKS LIKES A MONKEY BAR LMAO
➜ like these kids just attached to him lmao
➜ but there are times where he has to go on tournaments, training camps, olympics & probably photoshoots/commercials ngl and these three owls he left in your care are in EMO MODE LMAOO😭✋
➜ they got it from their dad, and you were now stuck with three emo bokutos but times three
➜ wow multiplication
➜ when she's a mathematician😍
➜ but bokuto would honestly also miss his children clinging to him for dear life
➜ like they would never be separated without having facetime calls every five hours
➜ but your kids understood that he has other things to do and theg try not to complain that much for your sake
➜ your kids are actually sweethearts okay 🥺
➜ when they grew up, his sons were still attached to him but they weren't as clingey as when they were in their childhood days ─ but your daughter phew, your daughter used to be the clingiest of them all and now it's just none, nonexistent, vanished, obliviated, avada kedevra LMAO
➜ like you know how teenagers be
➜ and your husband was DEPRESSED ABOUT IT
➜ his bb girl won't touch his hair anymore :(
➜ his bb girl won't be a little girl no more :(
➜ especially when kouzumi starts having boyfriends😭 MANS WAS SAD THAT THERE ARE ALREADY BOYS OTHER HIM IN HER LIFE
➜ it felt as if it wasn't even yesterday that kouzumi said that she don't need no prince, she'll be both a fucking princess and knight in shinning armor
➜ ugh periodt💅
➜ and koutaro's nows just like
“ WHERE DID ALL THAT TALK GO ?? ”💀💀💀
➜ ALSO BOKUTO GIVES THE BEST ADIVCES NO CAP
➜ gives volleyball advices, relationship advices better than u could ever
➜ this is getting too long but, even if some of his kids may not show it anymore, they still love their father so much and won't let anyone replace him because he's basically the ace of their hearts.
