I wonder if it's detrimental to view myself as someone who dies and is replaced by a new version of myself, rather than a constantly changing but whole person

A secret santa bluetech fanficcy before they became a relationship for @bloop-arts!!
for a first fanfic this is probably the best it could've been fjfn but it was SOOOOO fun to write!!
hope y'all and bloop enjoy!! :D
The sun was setting, terri just got off of work and closed their car door in exhaustion, all the kids constantly asking for candy and the pure chaos of it all making her want a 2 weeks break.
but as they started their car ready to hit the pedal and zoom home as fast as they could, they got a call from one of the itzgirls.
suddenly terri's exhaustion slowy becoming excitement, as they picked up the phone fast without even a second thought.
"hel-"
"HEY TERRI!" ally interrupting terri accidentally with excitement
"h-hi ally, nice to hear your exicted to call me haha."
"oh sorry sorry, but i just wanted to ask if you wanted to come over for a bit? we wanted you to come over and hangout with us since it's been a bit!!
teri's eyes lit up a bit, hearing ally and jess wanting them over after such a long day is something they secretly needed, terri has been so busy they haven't been able to talk to them for a atleast a week, and a week for the bluetech gang is like 8 months since they try to hangout everyday.
They are possibly a BIT touch deprived.
so they are ecstatic to be able to hangout as they sorta space out imagining all the fun stuff they'll do together (in the gay way :D)
"we know how hectic it can be over at your work though and how tiring it might be, so it's a okay if you don't wanna come over and just go home and rela- "
"NO I'LL BE THERE."
terri said snapping out of their gay thoughts
terri coughed "yeah I'll be there for sure."
silly terri, you can't cough away your gay shouting.
"OH YES YES YES!!! OKAY I'LL TELL JESS YOUR COMING, SHES GONNA BE SO EXCITED SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET HERE TERRI, LOVE YA!!!"
"See ya when i get there ally! love y-"
"....."
"wait what was that last li-"
ally hanged up the call not even her not even realizing what she said at the end of the call as terri is left there speechless
terri may be a little flustered after that end line, thinking a BIT about it but now they have a fun exicting thing to do.
hanging out with their two best friends and have a fun time doing whatever they have planned, terri loves their company so this will definitely be a good breather after work.
they step on the pedal excited and gets to driving to ally and jess's place, do they still have the love ya line in their brain?
definitely.
terri having a small crush on ally and jess for years doesn't help as they try to let the gay thoughts not take them over as they arrive to their room at the college, terri stepping out of their car looking at ally and jess's door sorta nervous but also happy, after all it's been awhile since they have hanged out.
but with the love ya ally said still in their mind terri is still overthinking a bit as they walk towards the door
"Okay, okay, this is gonna be just a fun little hangout like all the times before nothing crazy is gonna happen, it's not like they'll propose to you when walking into their apartment terri."
"their just cool friends, it's gonna be a fun friend hangout session."
"Mhm, yep."
they think as they finally step in front of the door, softly and slowly knocking the door holding their hands together twiddling with their thumbs a bit
"Coming!"
jess says from inside as terri starts to smile hearing her voice again as the door slowly opens
"OH, TERRI YOU MADE IT!! haven't seen your lovely face in a bit how have you been?"
she said with a smile happy to see them again giving terri a big ol bear hug as they blush a bit but their nervousness melting away a bit feeling jess's comforting and caring hug again, terri hugging back.
"o-oh, I've been good! kids, working alot, y'know."
"ah, I get it bet it's exhausting come on in."
jess lets terri step in as she closes the door behind them
"Oh thank you, and you bet it is! closest you have to kids is your robot's and those are tamer then what i have to deal with at work."
"pft, we'll yeah our "kids" don't ask for candy every 5 seconds."
"they only ask for like, new parts or something but not as much as those little gremlins at your work asking for candy."
"HAHA, yeah they can be a handful but they are still fun to hangout with sometimes when they actually sit down for once."
terri says with a hand behind their neck, as jess softly smiles loving to hear terri's soft and sweet voice after what feels like forever.
it's been a week.
"heh, i bet so."
suddenly jess and ally's room was opened fast, If ally wasn't here they would've assumed it was a ghost
"TERRI???"
ally turned the corner fast running full speed at them, terri doing a quick gasp seeing ally face to face again as they open up their arms
"ALLY!!!"
ally jumped at them and mid air put her hands around terri's waist as they both fell to the ground
"TERRI!! IT'S BEEN FOREVER DONT LEAVE ME AGAINNNNN"
ally holding wrapping her arms around their whole upper body by this point squishing her face against terri's making terri's face all red, jess just looking down at them at the ground giggling a bit.
"I-I've missed you too ally it's wonderful to see you, it's been only a week but I've missed you too."
"YOU KNOW HOW A WEEK FEELS TO ME!!"
"I KNOW ALLY I KNOW, I WONT LET THE SQUAD BE SEPARATED AGAIN."
"YOU BETTER OR YOU WON'T LEAVE THIS SPOT!!"
ally hugging even tighter basically making terri breathless
"GOT IT-"
"Okay good :D"
ally let go and let terri stand up and ally followed suit terri trying to catch a breath
"WHOOF, okay good welcome from the both of you"
"we have our own welcome styles, she's the more aggressive one."
"i love tackle welcomes :D"
ally said with the biggest grin in existence, loving to commit love violence anytime she could.
"I can see AND feel that thank you haha, so what do y'all wanna do?"
"well we had a movie in mind, but ally first has a new robot she wants to share with you it's been a bit since you've seen a new invention of ours!"
"AND THIS ONE'S COOL TERRI YOU'LL LOVE IT!!"
ally says flapping her hands in excitement, terri instantly finding it adorable in their mind loving to see her all exicted for just a lil robot.
"c'mon! it's in our little experiment room oooooooOoooOoo"
ally waving her hands in a spooky motion as she walks backwards and somehow doesn't hit anything as she moon walks into the room
"well, you heard the dork c'mon terri."
jess says ruffling terri's hair and running into the room with a laugh as jess has never ruffled terri's hair before
"H-HEY HAHA"
terri runs after her with a dumb ol grin as they turn the corner and running into the room as they suddenly screech to a hault seeing their new robot in a surprisingly large room.
a interesting little robo with a oven for a body, simple but long arms with two wheels at the bottom and the robots head also being simple, with a black round half circle head with two little headlights for eyes.
"woah...it's been a week and you made THAT?"
terri forgetting how amazing these girls craftsmanship is, working with literally just a oven and some tools.
"yep, you'd be impressed with how easy it is to make robots sometimes."
jess said as ally came into terri's sight rolling across the room in her rolling chair.
"we got bored and took our oven and made it a robot! :D"
jess looks on with a proud look as she grabbed ally's chair mid roll.
"we sure did ally, we sure did..."
"and....we basically only had microwaveable food for a bit, but it was worth it!!! :D"
"so...I'm guessing this robot cooks n stuff right?"
"um, NO terri it actually shoots fucking lasers OF COURSE IT DOES YA DORK."
ally doing a little smirk up at her with jess's sass
"it can shoot lasers if we really worked on it though, I'd just take some little updates to it's arm's and connect th-"
jess pressed her finger on ally's lips.
"shhhh, don't tell them that let me be right."
ally pushes jess's finger away slowly.
"sure...but YEAH IT COOKS!! well..sorta..."
"yeah we're still not done yet, we haven't even turned it on yet we're still working the kinks."
"it's got some screws turns and bolt cranks to do, we we're actually trying to do the most we can before you got here so we can just focus on us chilling and hanging out without a robot getting in the way."
terri smiled a bit, hearing jess saying that was sweet.
"oh well, since we're here we can finish it up if y'all wanna?"
jess and ally both looked at her in surprise, not expecting terri to even be interested to help in something robotic.
"REALLY TERRI YOU WANNA HELP??? :D"
ally just absolutely jumping up and down in her chair.
"terri! never took you as a robotics nerd like us you switching sides?"
jess said with a smirk crossing her arms.
"haha yeah i know, but it seems like fun! maybe I'll learn something from this"
jess and ally both smiled harder happy to hear terri wanting to help even if they aren't experienced.
"hey I'm down as long as you don't break anything, we can't buy another oven."
"well that just gives me more pressure jess THANKS."
"love you too buddy."
jess hits the wink and finger snap to finger guns like the chad flirt she is, making terri kinda re-think the whole just friends thing.
jess and ally started getting their tools out, terri watching as they turn the robot around and open it's back up as it reveals multiple wires and bolt and screws, terri already interested but also terrified to start a fire but as their overthinking that ally walks over to give them a wrench.
"well...you wanna start the first bolt turn?"
she said with a big soft genuine smile, terri couldn't help to NOT want to give her face a squish with their hands but they resist the urge.
"i-i yeah thank you for the wrench"
terri taking the wrench from her small soft hands as she walks over to the robot ally following from behind.
"you need us to walk you through this terri? we'll be happy to help ya."
"oh nah nah I'm good jess! just a quick bolt screw and...uhhhhh"
terri went down on their knees to get a good angle, they saw something sorta simple from afar but getting closer now, jess and ally made this ALOT more in depth then a actual oven with all these microchips, multiple wires, bolts, screws, a whole mainframe??? terri would've expected this ACTUALLY shooting lasers.
"On....second thought, maybe some help from y'all would be great."
terri said looking back at the two, both looking at each other with a smile knowing they would probably ask.
"hmmmm, OH! how about i control your arms behind you terri??? I'll get you to a bolt so nothing gets broken and you can do your thing"
ally saying with a smile, only pure intentions.
while terri was having a small gay panic attack.
"w-wait like-"
"oh yeah! That's a good idea ally! i think I'd really help terri"
jess seeing terri's gay panic through her own eyes and just letting this play.
"y-yeah go for it ally"
"oh okay! :D"
terri is not fine as ally comes from behind them, her soft smol little hands holding onto terri's wrist's as ally rests her little chin on their shoulder getting comfortable so this can work and no fires start, terri not expecting ally to do that with their chin kinda jumps a bit but trys not to overreact a bit as they can see ally's face so close to them.
"you jumped a bit terri you good?"
terri is struggling :)
"YEP YEP, LETS DO THIS."
jess just enjoying the show by this point, having a little laugh hearing terri's gay struggle as ally guided terri's arms to the right direction, missing some wires and getting closer to a bolt as terri is just having a mental gay panic, feeling ally's soft hands on her for this long spacing out a bit as ally places the wrench on the bolt.
"okay made it! terri you can turn the wrench now."
terri snaps out of it, them not even able to function with this amount of physical touch.
"OH, alright let me just.."
terri turns the wrench as hard as they can the bolt not even moving.
"I...might need help for this."
"oh a double team bolt huh, alright!"
ally leans in a bit more her hands making contact with terri's as she grabs onto their hand softly, this is possibly the most gay moment these two have ever had and ally is just treating it as normal.
terri at this point is losing it, they are freaking out in their brain rn able to feel their friends soft hands holding theirs, their dreams of holding her hand coming true at this moment, but terri is trying to focus.
"alright TURN!"
both terri and ally turn as hard as they can it slightly moving but not enough to were it's finished.
"OH C'MON ITS SO CLOSE.."
"Phew, well it seems stuck i don't know if we ca-"
jess whistled making ally and terri instantly turn
"I'm right here guys."
"OH RIGHT, TRIPLE TEAM BOLT COME ON IN JESS!!! :D"
".....y-yeah!! come on in jess."
terri is gonna die here :)
as jess comes from behind putting her chin on terri's head, jess putting her grip on both their hands terri just now realizing how absolutely power jess could be and she could kick their ass terri just absolutely overloaded right now, their hands a little positively shaky from the amount of contact from both jess and ally but jess's hands are so powerful that the shaking doesn't change anything and their wrench is still well, still.
"alright on three we all crank the bolt, got it?"
"got it jess!"
"y-yep let's fucking do this."
terri with a confident look but of course still nervous as hell to break something with this turn.
"alright, one."
ally prepares for a big crank, looking at terri with a nod as terri looks at her and does the same.
"two."
terri is fucking terrified, but with the girls confidence with this turn, terri gets confident also with them as they get less shaky and hold more of a grip with the two girls grasp.
"THREE!"
all pull at the same time backward, the bolt QUICKLY turning all three of them not actually expecting it to turn that quickly lose grip of the wrench, jess's strength making them all fall back pretty far as they see the wrench spin FAST and get's fully bolted as they see the wrench SHOOT out of the robot when the bolt was fully screwed in and hit the wall, making it stuck there.
the three just look at the wrench, look at each other terri and ally just on jess's lap from the huge FORCE from the wrench and her power, and all of them just having a fucking laughing fit.
"HAHAHA OH MY GOD THAT WAS INSANE"
jess says with a tear in their eye looking down at the two dorks laying in her lap.
"JESS WHEN DID YOU GET THAT POWERFUL??"
"HAHA DONT ASK ME ALLY, I'VE BEEN JUST WORKING OUT I GUESS."
"THAT WAS, SO FUCKING COOL, I DIDN'T KNOW WRENCHS CAN LAUNCH LIKE THAT JUST WITH BRUTE STRENGTH??"
"HEHE TRIPLE TEAM BOLT ACTION WENT WELL!!!! :D"
ally lifting her arms with her fist's up in celebration looking at the two
"heh yeah guess it did, maybe it just needed my buff strength."
"Ay don't dis-credit me and terri's strength jess!!"
ally said with a smile jess's cheek being softy grabbed by her smol hands while terri just snorted at this sight.
"HAHA alright alright it was a team effort, you two did well"
jess ruffling both terri and ally's hair with no regret in her body.
"haha, thanks jess."
terri smiling hard, happy to hear both their friends laugh again.
"we needed this, I'm happy i asked to help with the robot."
terri says getting up and putting their arms around jess and ally's necks.
"heh yeah, we needed a good bluetech group laugh"
"YEAH GROUP LAUGH!! :D"
all laughing together, all smiling just enjoying each other's company like all the other times.
"hehe phew...okay so what now y'all?"
"well considering the wrench is in the fucking wall, think we'll take a break from the robo."
"OH HOW ABOUT WE WATCH A MOVIE??"
terri and jess's eyes both light up in excitement, loving that concept fucking immediately as jess and terri both say at the same time.
"FUCK YEAH??"
"JINX!!"
jess seeing the opportunity of course she fucking did this lol.
"fuck."
"you owe me a kiss on the lips."
"WHA-"
"no i mean giving me a kiss candy and giving it to me, c'mon terri get your head out of the gutter~"
jess ruffling their hair again knowing what evil she just committed as terri is all blushy and flustered
"i hate you."
"love you too dork."
ally just smiles at this interaction, her loving their werid dynamic.
"alright COME ON GUYS, NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS CANT WAIT!!!"
ally says running out of the door quick as FUCK leaving terri and jess in the dust.
"WAIT ALLY SAVE ME THE POPCORN"
jess says following behind her with a laugh
as terri just stands there, still all flustered and blushy but smiling hard as their heart is more full with love for the two of them then ever before as terri runs towards the door and turning the corner towards the living room.
"SAVE ME A SEAT YOU TWO!!"
after that they had a fun movie night, all having fun talking to each other jess chomping on popcorn in the middle as terri and ally takes popcorn from her bowl as their both in their own blanket jess loving to be their pillow watching the movie and the other movies after as the hours go by, all of them are sleeping on the couch terri and ally sleeping on jess's lap after all the movies jess also asleep all three of them comfortable and calmy asleep.
they may be just best friends now
but soon they'll be best lovers <3

When Our Eyes Met
Robby Keene x Doug Rickenberger
A Huge thank you to @oceluna , for giving me the boost I needed to upload this new ship !
We are blessed for having this beautiful human (@oceluna ) being for giving us a part of their time to create wonderful LawRusso content and other ships !💖😊
( Binary Boyfriends + SamxMiguel + Lawrusso ) Part 3
.... ..... .....
He should've know having Sam and Demetri as friends would only cause him trouble . Now he's being forced on a date but he didn't even know who Hawk would set him up .
For all he knows Hawk would pick a random stranger , why did he think that life would go easy on him . He really can't catch a break , okay maybe he's exaggerating a little bit .
He thinks he's allowed to be dramatic , atleast they had already decided what Demetri was going to wear , black flannel shirt with a white shirt underneath and some skinny jeans .
Heading out to go home to change as well , but not before assuring Demetri that everything would turn out fine .  Hawk was in love with Demetri ass and well , vice versa .
....
He went to the kitchen to grab something to drink , his dad was there serving a cup of juice . Quickly going to cupboard and handing over the glass to his dad .
" Me and Daniel are going to watch a movie later , order some pizza wanna join . "
" I would love to dad but I got a date . "
" is she hot ? "
" Is actually a blind date . "
" She's blind ? " His dad had a funny look as he was confused , Dad L came in laughing along with  Robby .
" John the person isn't blind , it just means both people don't know what they look like . Robby be safe , i want the 3 of you back at 10  "
"you got it , dad . "
Hugging his Dad L , before leaving to go change .
Johnny makes sure the coast is clear before pining Daniel against the counter .
" Guess we're having the house to ourselves , I was thinking having you in nothing but my shirt -
" Laying down in bed , just waiting for you to join me "
" mhmm " The blonde puts his hand on Daniels ass , he really had the best ass . Daniel arms holds on to his neck , as he pulls him in more closer . He leans in to kiss him .
" for us to talk about our lovely deep  emotions . "
Daniel laughs at the face the blond has , he couldn't help it . He gives kiss on the cheek before leaving , with Johnny behind him .
" You really know how to kill a boner , Bambi.  "
..... ..... ...
One of the things he and his dad have in common was that they really didn't know how to receive compliments . Here he was blushing and not knowing what to say as Sam and Demetri kept talking .
" Damn Robby , lookin mighty fine !  . "
" So handsome   and those jeans , right  Demetri ? "
 " Agreed that ass is out of this world . "
" Shut up ! "
He quickly shouted as he got to the front seat , He quickly look one last time in the mirror of the car , while waiting for Sam and Demetri to get in . Pep talks were thrown , mainly for Demetri . Arriving , looking through the open glass window , they could see Hawks purple Mohawk , Miguels waving , and a taller boy .
" Hey guys " Miguel came over as the other two stayed back . He stood next to Demetri to reassure him everything was alright . It looked like hawk and his friend were fighting , until the two quickly came over .
" Everything okay ? " Demetri questioned Hawk , gosh Hawk wasn't subtle about his feelings for his best friend with that stare or gaze whatever you want to call it .
" Yeah , perfect ! Robby this is Doug Rickenberger , Doug this is Robby Keene shall we go in . "
They both incline their heads to each other for acknowledgment.  Doug was way taller than him and his broad shoulders didn't help Robbys height . He was wearing a Red shortsleve  shirt ,  black jeans and some vans . 
They were seated down, everyone was at the table with their individual date . The tables weren't together but enough distance where they all could hear each other . And it was awkward and quiet at first . Sam and Miguel tried to ease the moment , but it was clear him and Doug wish their were somewhere else but here .
It wasn't their first time seeing each other but their encounters were brief.  He had seen the tall boy with Hawk before . Once in awhile he would go to his dad dojo , Doug must've seen him those few times .
Also sometimes his Dad and Daniel would do classes together , but usually he would stick with Myagi-Do students .
Sam and Miguel were already in a relationship , so they were having a blast and it seemed Demetri and Hawk were hitting it off . So Here he was making small talk every time it got to quiet .
" so you like karate ? " He internally just cringed at himself but hey he was trying . He guess it wasn't that bad by the chuckle of  Doug
" Yeah , what's it like to have two dads - "
" There's no difference , their just parents . Just because their both dudes and i have a mom too "
" I was gonna say what's it like to have both parents that know karate . "
Guess he should've have left the other boy finish , it was just that some people still don't understand that times have changed .
" I'm sorry I got all defensive  on you . "
He gave Doug a small smile hoping the latter wouldn't notice how embarrassed he felt .
" Its alright , uhh do you play any other sports maybe soccer . "
Nodding to the question  but then realise he had to answer before the mood gets ruined again .
" uh yeah when I was little , haven't played recently actually . Do you ? "
" Yeah I'm on the soccer team . Maybe you should try out , I wouldn't mind having you on the team unless your not good as you are in karate . "
Doug finish with a teasing  smirk and a raised eyebrow waiting for the blonde to answer .
" I like to let you know that I was the best player on my team when I was a kid , well that's what my dad and Mom said but I withstand my point . "
Both burst out laughing , and once the waitress come with their food their both smiling at each other .
If felt kinda nice , it was awhile Robby hadn't laughed and gone out with someone that wasn't his friends or his parents .
...... ....... ........ Doug Pov
Doug was friends with Hawk since he joined cobra kai , they would hanged out in School.  After school he would go to the dojo or to soccer practice . 
Today he was free and had nothing to do , so he easily accepted Hawks idea . But he wasn't expecting said date to be a boy and son of his Sensei. 
He wasn't into guys ,but he didn't mind the idea of dating one but he's just never seem to find a guy he would date . Here he was standing in front of his date as Hawk introduces him .
Robby had green eyes and freckles across his cheeck and nose . Dark blond hair and a nice smile . He was short compared to his height , he wore a black shirt with blue jeans .
His brain came to a conclusion : Pretty boy
..... ...... ......
" Do you want get out of here ? "
" Like right now ? "
" Yeah "
The two couples were distracted as they both left the dinner . Grabbing a hoodie from their own car as quickly as they could . Who knows why but they started running without realising they were holding hands . Their laughter was left echoing behind them .
They stopped at the  skate park  as they got tired . There were few people skating there , he turned to look at Robby once he didn't feel his hand . He watched as he jogged back holding a skateboard .
" Do you know how to skate? "
Holding a skateboard felt unfamiliar to him , handing it back to Robby who was wearing a cheeky smile .
" No , I'm guessing you do . "
" I know a few things . "
He shouldve known by that cocky smile he was lying . He watched Robby do some amazing stuff , he even showed that one hand stand . Then it was his turn , he failed miserably all the times . He asked what was the secret , as he once again falls .
" Its all about  balance "
Robby looked up at him as he answered him .  He understood the answer , since Mr. Larusso  karate did involve balance .
Noticing they were standing close , face to face . Maybe it was the way the moon and street light illuminate the blondes face . Or the way he was smiling at him that he said those words .
" is there something on my face ? "
" Sorry it's just I never knew a boy could be as beautiful as you ... "
Seeing the surprise look and the addition of the blush contrasting his tan skin made his beat faster . God when did he become such a girl . His thoughts are interrupted when Robby quickly steps back ,  misstep and hurts his ankle .
.... ..... .. ...
Arriving at the dinner place he could see their friends waiting for them at their cars . Holdding on tight to Robby thighs for he wouldn't fall of his back . Chuckling as the boy groans in embarrassment as  the others start to come closer seeing their situation .
" Robby are you okay ? Where were you two , we were worried . ! "
" I'm alright Sam , Me and Doug went for a walk and I hurt my ankle , hence why Doug is giving me a piggyback ride . "
" Oh I thought you decided to climb him like a tree cause - "
" Demetri ! " Robby tightens his arms as he shouts to quiet his friend . walking to Sam's car he hears the blonde mumbling while his head nudging against his shoulder .
Meanwhile everyone were saying goodbye he helps Robby get in the car . As gently as he could , he was stopped when he was opening the door . The latter looked nervous as he looked at him while bitting his lip .
" I had a good time , we should do it sometime again if you want or not ? "
" Yeah definitely.  I will text you now that I have your number . "
He was already a sucker for that smile that showed off his dimples . Smiling , he leans in to give a kiss on the cheeck but Robby stops him as the blonde leans to give him a quick peck on the mouth .
" Bye ! "
" Bye . " Walking back he couldn't help but look back and wave at the blonde when he  catches his eye . shit , he was totally blushing now .
....... ...... ... Robby Pov .......
Sam and Demetri both entered asking questions if he was really fine or in pain . once he assured them that he was alright , Demetri took it as a sign to tease him .
" We want all the info , cause we totally saw you , you slutty marshmallow ! "
Sidenote : Part 3 of the triple date , hope you guys like it . Also what would the ship name be Roug or Dobby . I like Roug ! . Side mentions of Lawrusso because why not . This was supposed to be Apocalypse / Zombie au but this ^^ was made at the thought of a triple date with the binary boyfriends .

Okay so I'm super nervous to post this but I wrote this one-shot for the #trikey fandom. Ive had this idea for awhile but I finally got around to writing it. It's based off the song Lips of an angel by Hinder. I think its perfect for Michael and Trevor lol so please let me know what you think and I hope you enjoy!
Honey, why are you calling me so late?
It’s kinda hard to talk right now 
Honey, why are you crying, is everything okay? 
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud 
Michael woke up to his phone ringing on his bedside table. He knew who it was before he even looked. He didn’t know how or why because it could have been a number of people. He reached over and grabbed the phone. His eyes squinted from the bright light. Trevor. He was both glad and disappointed he was right but he supposed he might have willed it to be. His thoughts had been filled with his crew mate, best friend and sometimes more, but that was before Amanda and the kids. Well that wasn’t entirely true. Every time they went on a job together, they fell into each other as soon as they were alone in their hotel room. Michael just couldn’t help himself. 
It had been a few months since he had seen Trevor though. He tried to put distance between them. He knew that Trevor had a hard time just sleeping together on occasions and understanding Michael had a family to go home to. Michael wanted nothing more than for his friend to be happy but he just couldn’t be the one to give it to him.
He stared as the phone rang and debated answering but he pictured Trevor’s face the last time he had seen him with tears rolling down his face, begging Michael to stay. His heart clenched and he answered.
“Hello?” he whispered. He looked over at Amanda still sleeping. He had to be quiet. He didn't want to wake her and have her find out who he was talking to. He didn’t feel like fighting tonight. 
“Hey." Trevor’s voice rang out on the other side of the phone. 
“Jesus, Trev. Do you know what time it is?” He flinched as the words left his mouth. He didn’t mean to sound upset but he did. 
Trevor laughed dryly. 
“Oh I’m sorry, Princess. Am I interrupting your beauty sleep? I thought I might call my best friend who hasn’t talked to me in months” he said coldly. 
“Trevor, if you want to talk you can call and you can call during the day.” Amanda moved next to him. He had to be quiet. 
“Works both ways. If you wanted to talk you would have called. But you didn’t.” His voice cracked and ended in a broken sob. Michael hated himself a little more. 
“T, why are you crying? Is everything okay?” he whispered. He wished he was there with Trevor right now. He would pull him into his arms and hold him until the tears stopped like he always did. 
“Speak up M. I cant hear you" 
“I have to be quiet or I’ll wake up-" he let his sentence go unfinished, trying to be careful not to set T off. 
“Ah, of course. Wouldn’t want to wake the Mrs. I’ll let you go." He could hear the anger, the jealousy, the sadness, and the pain in Trevor’s voice. 
“No!” he said rather loudly. He snapped over to look at Amanda, who just turned over on her side away from him. He sighed. “Don’t go. Just- Hang on.” He got out of bed quietly and snuck out the room. He grabbed his cigarettes off the counter and sat down on the couch, lighting one up and taking a deep inhale and exhale. He wasn't supposed to smoke in the house, but fuck it. 
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words - it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But, girl, you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
“Now tell me what’s going on, Trev. I can't be too loud. Mandy and the kids are in the other room asleep" he explained. 
“I-I don’t know. I just needed to hear your voice.” Trevor replied quietly, his voice soft and tight like he was trying to stop himself from crying. Michael wondered what had him so upset. He had heard he had a boyfriend of sorts from Lester and apparently they’ve been doing jobs together for L since Michael saw T last. When L told him, he saw red. He got wasted and wound up outside screaming and crying at the night sky. Trevor was his, but he wasn't and he never would be. He didn’t want to but he hoped Trevor was calling to tell him he left that guy and to ask when Michael was coming back to work, to him. There was also a chance Trevor was calling because he was drunk and cranked out. Either due to said guy or something else or even for the hell of it. He might be in trouble or lying somewhere drugged out.
“Is it that guy you’re with?” Michael realized how incredibly jealous he sounded but maybe he was. Maybe he missed being on the road, never staying in one place too long. Maybe he missed the thrill of the job, and maybe he missed looking over in the middle of a heist and grinning at Trevor who was grinning just as hard back. Maybe he missed pulling Trevor into a hard kiss as soon as their hotel door shut and having the most passionate nights of his life, and then falling asleep in his lover’s arms. Maybe he even missed the times they just sat on the bed and talked for hours about any and everything. Maybe sometimes he wished it was Trevor who was in the other room, waiting for him to come back to bed. 
“How-how do you even know about that?” Trevor asked, sounding surprised. 
“Lester.” 
“Of fucking course. Well not that it’s any of your business but he's asleep. It ain’t like he’s my boyfriend or anything. You know I ain’t they settling type. There’s only one exception. Fuck. I miss you, Mikey.” He sobbed. 
“Trev-" 
“It's okay. I understand. It’s just so good to hear your voice, Mikey.” There goes that nickname again. A nickname only Trevor called him. A nickname that sounded so sweet coming from Trevor’s lips. Like an angel. A fallen angel maybe. 
“It's really good to hear your voice too T. Mikey. That’s a name I haven't heard in awhile” he said fondly. 
“What, too good to be called Mikey anymore?” T said annoyed. 
“No, not at all. Although you are the only one who calls me that, but I like it.” He felt his cheeks flush and his heart flutter as he spoke. 
“Yeah?” 
“Yeah. Now tell me what’s going on please."
“When are you gonna do a job? It’s been months. We miss you out there. I miss you. I-I need you, Mikey. Please come back to me. I can't stop thinking about you. You haunt me every waking moment, and even in my dreams. Do you dream of me?” Hearing those words made Michael feel weak. He almost told Trevor he was on his way, grabbed his car keys and left without a second thought, but he couldn’t. He wouldn’t leave his children. He might do a few jobs now and then but he wouldn’t choose that life over them. No matter how bad he craved it, craved him.
It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me?
Will it start a fight?
No, I don't think she has a clue
“Trevor, I-I want to be there. You know I do, but I got Tracey and Jimmy to think about, but I think about you too. All the time. Especially lately. It’s funny you called. And yeah, I’ve dreamt of you too T.” He didn’t know why he was being so open about this, about whatever it was between them, but hearing how broken Trevor sounded and how it matched how he felt inside, he knew they both needed to hear it. To hear that Michael cared about him, that he missed Trevor just as much as he missed him. 
“Oh yeah? What’d you dream about, cowboy?” he asked and Michael could picture his thick eyebrows wagging. He laughed, genuinely laughed. Something he hadn’t done since the last time he saw Trevor. 
“It wasn’t like that. Well not all like that.” Now it was Trevor’s turn to laugh. 
“Tell me.” He told Michael. 
“We were in a nice house, our house. We were happy.” He whispered, afraid of the way his dream made him feel. He didn’t want to dream of Trevor, of their future that would never be. He wished he could let Trevor go, but he didn’t think he ever fully would. 
“It doesn’t have to be a dream, Mikey. The kids can be in your life, our life.” Trevor pleaded. Michael had to change the subject before he agreed. 
“What about that guy you've been seeing? Does he know you’re talking to me? Won't he get mad?” 
"I told you he's not my boyfriend. I don't care if he gets mad, but no, he doesn't know I'm talking to you. He doesn't know anything about you except you're the great Michael Townley, expert thief. He actually wants to meet you." Trevor laughed dryly at that. "What about Amanda? Does she know you're talking to me? Does she know anything?" 
Does she know anything, meaning does she know when Michael goes away to work he all but forgets about her? Does she know that his nights with Trevor are filled with more passion than their whole marriage has ever seen? Does she know that Michael's heart will never fully belong to her?
"No, no I don't think she has a clue, Trev." He sighed. The guilt constantly ate at him and he tried so hard to be the husband she deserved, the father his children deserved, but he never would me. He belonged to the game, to Trevor, but it didn't matter. How he felt didn't matter, couldn't matter. He would push his feelings down to the bottom of his heart with a smile. 
"Mikey. I miss you so much. So much it hurts. I can't get you out of head, out of my heart. I've tried drugs and alcohol. I've tried fucking anyone in sight and even getting a wannabe you, but nothing works. I've tried telling myself you're better off with her, but you're not. You're miserable and so am I. Please just do the best thing for you, for us." He begged through sobs. Michael could hardly make out what he was saying.
He felt tears rolling down his face. He felt Trevor's words stab his soul. He tried to drown Trev out too. He drank so much even he was worried. He smoked several packs of cigarettes a day. He went to strip clubs almost every night and almost every time he brought one of the girls to his car or a hotel for a quick fuck. He just wanted to feel numb, to never know the pain of loving someone you could never be with. What was that saying? It's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. He wasn't sure if he agreed, but inevitably he did. He would feel this pain a thousand times just to know what it was like to love and be loved by this man. What it felt like to lay in his arms as he rubbed his back and kissed his head. He couldn't give that up. He wasn't ready for that. 
"I'm gonna call Lester tomorrow and get a job set up. I'll let you know where to go. Everything will be okay. I'll see you in a few days. I promise. Okay?" 
"Yeah okay, but what about-" Michael cut him off. 
"We'll talk about everything then." He knew he was lying and Trevor probably did too. They both knew he would never be able to leave his family and that pretty little white lies would have to suffice them. 
"Okay Mikey, I'll see you in a few days. And you better show up" he threatened, half jokingly. 
"I'll be there, Trev. And Trev?" 
"Yeah?" 
"Next time call me during the day" he said chuckling. 
"Yes princess. See ya soon Mikey." He said before hanging up. 
Trevor just makes it too hard to be faithful and Michael was weak.

Yancy x gender neutral!reader
@spycii ty for the prompt!
A/N: holy shit this took so long lol. I suck at writing angst unless it's with my own characters,,, this is so very bad I'm sorry,,, also Yancy has anger issues apparently. Rated T for some cursing. Angst(?) w/fluff at the end. I'm sorry I can't write straight angst it's too much for me.
Word Count: 2k
---
Yancy was elated when you decided to stay with him. He'd been pretty interested in you since you showed up, and didn't want you going and breaking out. When you told him you were staying, he was happier than he had any right to be. Yes! He got to spend more time with yous! That's amazing!
The first few weeks were great. You two loved talking and hanging out. Yancy could sense the others were a bit jealous of you, but he really didn't care much. You were all he really needed. After about two months, he noticed you distancing yourself. You were keeping a space between you and him when you hung out, and not talking as much. Half a year had passed and you just stopped. You stopped talking, stopped actively hanging out with him, stopped acknowledging him. He was disappointed, to say the least. The other inmates started to be around him more, but he didn't pay any attention to them. He thought of different ways to get you back. He convinced one of the cooks to bake you a cake for your birthday. You seemed to appreciate the effort and started talking to him again. You talked to him about how you missed your family, and Yancy tried to convince you to not care about it.
"C'mon, yous has a new family! We're your family!" He consoled. "Yous needs to leave the past in the past." You smiled at him appreciatively. He loved it when you smiled. So when you stopped smiling altogether, he got worried. He told you about his worries, and you told him you were fine. He didn't believe you. To sell the fact that you were fine, you forced yourself to smile more often. He'd tell you a joke to make you feel better, and you'd smile at him. But he could tell it wasn't a real smile. It was a smile to make him feel better.
It didn't, really.
But he pretended like it did so you didn't have to worry.
You two would always meet out in the yard at the same time every day, but one day, you hadn't shown up. Yancy waited in you guys' spot for half an hour before thinking to look somewhere else. He started to go back inside when Bambam stopped him.
"Hi, Yancy!" He greeted happily. "How've you been?" Yancy smiled at him, slightly aggravated, not wanting to show it.
"Hey, Bambam. I've been alright," he answered. Bambam looked around.
"So, where's the new family member?" he asked. The fact that Bambam was stopping him from finding exactly who he was talking about angered Yancy. He knew you wouldn't want him to snap at his family, so he kept it to himself.
"That's what I was hoping to find out. They's been… upset lately…" he explained. Bambam frowned.
"Oh. What do you think the problem is?" He asked worried.
"I'm not sure…" Yancy sighed, "they's… talked about missing their family…" Bambam scratched his neck.
"You know, Yancy, they seemed pretty attached to their family… maybe it'd be better for them if they left…" he suggested. Yancy clenched his fists.
"No, it wouldn't. They like it here. They don't want to leave," he growled. Bambam stepped back at his violent tone, and Yancy walked past him and into the prison.
He wandered the halls, looking for you. You weren't in any of the places you two hung out. Finally, he checked your cell, where you've said you don't like going. You were there on the bed, curled up on your side in a fetal position. He sighed in relief and opened the door. You flinched as you heard the door creak. He walks into the cell quietly.
"There yous is! I was starting to get worried you'd taken parole." He joked. You didn't respond or even acknowledge he'd walked in. He stood there for a minute, not knowing what to do. Eventually he sighed.
"Ok, can yous just… tell me what's wrong? I've been worried about yous and… I'm not sure what to do about it… tell me?" You don't respond. "Please?" You sighed.
"I miss Mark." You said bluntly. Yancy stood there, not really knowing how to respond.
"Mark? Didn't he… you know… die? Or did he just… take parole? There's really nothing I can-"
"I miss Mark, I miss my friends, I miss my family…" you said, voice wavering. Yancy knits his eyebrows, not understanding what you want.
"So? I don't know what you want to-"
"I want to leave, Yancy." You finally turned to look at him and he saw your red eyes and tear-stained cheeks. He frowned at you.
"Leave? But… you decided to stay!" He started to get angry. "Why would you want to leave?!" You stood up.
"Because I miss the people in my life Yancy!" You raised your voice at him.
"Then why did you stay?! Why haven't you broken out or taken parole or… or…" he was cut off by you.
"Because I'm in love with you, you fucking moron!" You yelled. He steps back at your accusing tone. In love… with him? That made him happy, but the tears flowing from your eyes destroyed that feeling and replaced it with guilt. "You love it here. You love your family. And I love you and I want you to be happy. So I stayed." You explain. "I had a family! I had people who loved me and now they don't even visit me! I am not happy! I haven't been happy in awhile! I want to leave!" Yancy stopped thinking clearly and blurted the first thing that came to mind.
"Then leave! Just fucking go, then!" He said, his voice venomous. You stare at him and compose yourself.
"Maybe I will."
And you did.
You broke out of the prison after two days. All the inmates were happy that you'd be with your people again, but they saw something was different with Yancy. He was more distant. More angry. He snapped at them a lot and made rude comments. Tiny decided that she was going to confront him about it. He had no right to do this to them. She was gonna march into his cell and give him a piece of her mind. That's what she'd do.
She walked into his cell and…
He was there. On his bed. Sobbing into his hands. She could see the tears seeping through his fingers.
And all her plans were flung out the window.
She tiptoed over and gently sat next to him. He flinched before turning away, wiping his face.
"What do you want?" He asked, attempting to sound tough. He just sounded sad. Tiny put a hand on his shoulder. He turned to her, looking at her hand weirdly. She sighed.
"What's the problem, Yancy?" She asked gently. He tried to glare at her, but his lip started quivering and he let out a sob, burying his face into his hands again. Tiny patted his back in an attempt to make him feel better.
"I miss them… I miss them so much…" he cried. Tiny frowned and furrowed her eyebrows.
"Yancy..." She began. She was going to try to convince him to get over you. But before she could, he just went on rambling on and on about everything he loved and missed about you. Your skin, your eyes, your smile…
She could tell this wasn't going away anytime soon.
"Yancy…" She sighed. "You need to make parole." Yancy looked up at her.
"W-What?"
"You need to be good. You need to not be seen as a threat anymore. You need to leave."
"But-"
"You love them. There's nothing you can do about that, except be with them."
"Tiny… I've done-"
"Yeah, yeah, bad things. You killed people. Yancy, I'll be honest, none of us really care about that. You're the only one. We think you deserve to be happy, and if being with them is how that's gonna happen, then so be it," She explained. Yancy was about to argue, but he thought about your face when he told you to leave, and he closed his mouth.
"Ok…"
He turned into the perfect prisoner. He did everything he was told, he didn't speak out of line, he worked as a cook in the cafeteria, he got rid of his shank. He eventually made parole. That was great, but he wasn't exactly sure where to go from there. How was he supposed to find you? He was on his way out when he saw the guy you came in with. What was his name… Mark? You had mentioned that you were roommates, so he figured this was his best chance. Yancy walked up to him and tapped his shoulder. He turned towards him, startled.
"Uh… hi? Can I help you?" He asked.
"Where do you live?"
"Pardon?"
"Sorry… I'm Yancy. I want to find your friend and… I figure… you would know where they live… since you live together…" he explained awkwardly. Mark stared at him for a moment.
"Why do you want to find them?" He asked, suspicious. Yancy blushed a bit and scratched his neck. Mark rolled his eyes before taking a piece of paper and writing an address on it. He handed Yancy the piece of paper.
"Knock when you get there." He explained. "You don't look like a serial killer… this may be a bad idea but… I suppose I can trust Y/N to take care of themselves. Besides, this year's already been weird as hell... I'm sure it'll be fine." Yancy nodded and thanked him. He asked his parole officer to take him to the address. On the ride there, he bounced his leg, anxious for what you'd say. Would you forgive him? Would you still be mad? Would you hate him? He'd deserve it…
"Here." The officer said as they parked near a house. Yancy nodded and got out of the car, approaching the house. He stopped at the door and raised his fist to knock. He stopped, suddenly realizing that he'd rather not have you tell him he wasn't worth a visit every three weeks. He slowly lowered his arm to his side and sighed. He turned back towards the cop car and-
click
"Yancy?"
creak
Yancy spun back around to look at the door, where you were standing. You looked… better than in the prison. Less tired. Less sad.
"Hey! How's it going?" He asked nervously. You weren't smiling, you weren't asking a bunch of questions about him, you didn't seem very interested in him or what he was doing there. That made him nervous. He shifted in his spot. You both were silent for a moment. You crossed your arms and took a breath.
"I thought… I thought you liked prison, Yance." He smiled at the nickname.
"Oh, uh… I…" he swallowed, his throat dry. "I-I like yous a little more than I do prison…" you stared at him. He shuffled his feet. You sighed.
"Yancy…"
"Ok, look. I know I messed up. I know. But I want to make it right, and I want to be with yous." You raised an eyebrow.
"Be with me… as in…?"
"Dating. Yes." He said quickly. You tap your arm.
"Yancy… I don't…" you start. He can feel his heart shattering already. "You're the one who told me to leave the past in the past… that's what I was doing with the prison." You explained.
"Well… maybe… since I'm in yous' present… I can be part of your future!"
"What?"
"I'm not sure…"
"Yancy…" you started. He looked at you hopefully. You sighed. "I'll… think about it."
"Oh… right, sure…"
"You have a place to stay, right?"
"Yeah! Yeah, I'm good."
"Ok, good."
"Yeah… well…bye" he turned back towards the police car and started walking. You stood at the doorway, watching him. You bit your lip before taking a breath.
"Yancy!" You called. He spun back towards you. You grin slightly. "Let's get coffee sometime." His eyes widened.
"O-Okay! Sure!" He agreed. You closed your door. He got back into the police car, smiling widely.
"So…" the officer started. Yancy turned to him.
"Hm?"
"That was the most Hallmark thing I've ever seen…"
"Shut up…"
"Seriously! That looked so cliche!"
"SHUT. UP."
"I thought I was about to hear some romantic violin,"
"Please just drive…"
GOD this SUCKS I'm so sorry

cheater [three] | kara danvers
summary: Kara catches on to the way you're distancing yourself from her and tries to get to the bottom of it.
warning/s: none (I think?).
author's note: This is the final part to the mini imagine so I hope you like it! I'll be posting a lena one tomorrow :)
part one | part two | masterlist | wattpad
Tumblr media
A few weeks had passed since Anna had spoken to me, and in those few weeks, I had become more aware of how I was treating those I cared about. Specifically, Kara.
I still hung out with her and spoke to her, obviously, but I was cautious as to how much of myself I was giving out. I didn't want to appear reliant, clingy or annoying towards her. She didn't deserve that and I didn't want to risk her leaving me because of it. We still went out for lunch and hung out at each other's flats, but it was less frequent than usual. Anytime I thought I was inputting my opinion into her life, I drew back. If we were hanging out, I cut it a little shorter. I didn't want her to feel trapped.
I thought it was going well, really well actually. I thought I was doing it right, having her as a friend without suffocating her with my apparent power to over-care. But then she confronted me about it and I knew I'd screwed up.
I was photocopying something when she approached me, cornering me in against the photocopier.
"Hey," I greeted her, smiling politely before realising she wasn't smiling back. "What's up?"
"I'm hoping you can tell me," she said, crossing her arms.
"I don't understand."
She sighed, her blue eyes staring back at me with confusion. "Did I do something wrong? Have I upset you somehow? Are you angry at me?"
I immediately shook my head, stepping forward to place a hand on her crossed arms. "Kara, no, of course not! What's made you think that?"
She breathed out through her nose, uncrossing her arms. "You've been very withdrawn recently. I feel like I may have offended you somehow."
I pursed my lips, feeling my face go warm. "You haven't... I don't understand. Things are good between us. We hang out. We talk."
"Barely," she added. "You seem off with me. Distant."
I tried to laugh it off. "Kara, I don't get it. I'm fine!"
Her blue eyes darkened as she searched my expression curiously. "No, you aren't... I'm not leaving until you tell me what's wrong."
I gave her a knowing, albeit, nervous look. "Kara."
She shook her head, jaw locked with certainty. I tried to walk away, but she blocked my exit by stepping in front of me. I tried to side step her, but she simply followed, cornering me in with the photocopier.
"Kara, this is stupid and you know it," I complained, no longer joking now.
"What's stupid is how you've been acting lately," she said, just as seriously. "What is going on with you?"
I upheld her stare, determined not melt under her gaze and give in. I tried again to get out of that corner, but she was too quick and way stronger than me, so she stopped me every time. I sighed, feeling my stomach twist uncomfortably.
"It's not a big deal," I said quietly, avoiding her eyes.
"What isn't?"
I chewed the inside of my cheek nervously, before realising I had no other choice but to tell her the truth. I couldn't lie to Kara – she'd see right through me.
"Anna spoke to me a few weeks ago," I said, in a nonchalant way, hoping Kara would realise it wasn't an issue. "She told me she loved me still and wanted to get back together."
Kara's expression faltered as she widened her eyes with surprise. "What?"
"It was dumb on her part," I explained, feeling a sudden urge to let Kara know I wasn't interested. "I've moved on."
Kara pursed her lips with concentration as I continued.
"I reminded her that she cheated on me and she basically told me why," I said, giving a small smile to hopefully refute the pain that was returning in my heart. "I am apparently too loving to those I care about."
"What?"
I breathed out slowly, losing my smile. "She said I was too good. Too perfect. Too caring. I was too suffocating and so I pushed her away. It's dumb because I know I shouldn't care what she says, but it stuck with me."
Kara had an unreadable expression and I began to feel guilty.
"Look, Kara, I'm really sorry," I said, meeting her eyes. "I never wanted to make you feel like you were doing something wrong. I just, I thought that if I backed off a little... you know, gave you some space. Cared a little less. That you might stay around. I didn't... I didn't want to risk pushing you away like I did with Anna. I'm... I'm really sorry..."
I waited for a response, verbally or even a hint of an expression, but she simply stared at me with frozen eyes. I genuinely thought I'd screwed up, that she was fed up of my shit and was ready to call it a day with our friendship. Instead, she said nothing and stormed off angrily.
"Kara!" I called after her, before following her down the hall.
She was quick, as she manoeuvred around everybody, eyes searching the offices for somebody, I didn't know who. I kept calling her, trying to catch up to her but bumping into several colleagues instead. What was she up to?
"You!"
I saw as she found who she was looking for – Anna – and widened my eyes, realising what would happen.
"You are the most selfish, egotistical, manipulative woman I have ever met!" she yelled, storming towards Anna and getting in her face. "How dare you make Y/N question her relationships, our friendship!"
"What the hell are you talking about, Danvers?" Anna growled, pushing Kara back.
Kara seemed furious as I finally reached them. People were beginning to take notice of the two angry women and I managed to step between them before things escalated further.
"Woaaaaah, Kara, calm down," I said, blocking her vision of Anna and instead trying to get her to look at me. "Kara."
"You didn't deserve her." Kara glared daggers to Anna just before I managed to drag her away.
Reluctantly, Kara followed as I led her to a deserted conference room – anywhere to get away from Anna and what I was sure would soon be a fist fight if I hadn't stepped in.
"Kara, what the they hell?!" I shouted after closing the door.
Kara's jaw was clenched with anger as she shook her head. "I never liked her! She's always thought she was the best! That she could have anything she wanted!"
"Kara!"
"She hurt you!" she yelled, finally meeting my eyes. "It's her fault, all of this!"
My mouth closed as I breathed out through my nose, trying to find some way to argue her point, but she was right.
"She cheated because she's a horrible person, not because you care too much," she said with certainty. "One of the best things about you, Y/N, is that you care as much as you do. You make people feel seen and you make them feel good. And that isn't a bad thing at all!"
I felt embarrassed as she spoke, mostly because when she said it, it seemed right. Like I couldn't question it at all and that everything I thought about myself was false. Kara always sounded so certain that one couldn't help but want to believe her.
"She is hurting you even when you let her go," she said, swallowing hard. "She never deserved you, Y/N. And I hate that she's made you doubt yourself."
I didn't think Kara cared this much, yet she seemed so invested and it made me feel good, to know I had someone who actually cared.
"She never deserved you," she stated, her eyes glassy. "I'm sorry for shouting and getting angry, but she never did."
"Kara..."
Seeing her this upset made me feel guilty, and also hurt. I didn't think it would have this much of an effect on her.
"You're a great person, Y/N, one of the best I know. And you deserve someone who can see that. Someone like..." She paused, locking her jaw as she glanced at the ceiling before meeting my eyes. "Someone like me."
It took me a moment to realise what she'd said, and when I made sense of it, I was taken aback.
"Someone... someone like you?"
"Yes," she said, blue eyes softening as each second passed.
I felt my heart beating quickly the longer she stared, and it only intensified when she stepped closer to me, enough for me to feel the warmth of her skin.
Her eyes darted to my lips very obviously and I found myself drawn to hers, wanting to feel them against mine. She raised her hand, pressing it to my cheek, causing me to look her in the eyes again.
"How long?" I got out, feeling stupid for not realising sooner.
She licked her lips. "A long time."
I didn't know what to say, how to respond to that. It made sense though, now that I thought about it. Especially with how protective she'd been over me when it came to Anna. I thought it was her being a good friend, but it was a lot more than that.
Her other hand rested on my waist, sending shivers up my spine, before she moved closer and pressed her lips against mine. I closed my eyes and let her, resting a hand on her chest and returning the kiss.
I didn't realise how much I'd wanted to kiss her until now when it was actually happening. She was gentle yet passionate and I knew that she'd been bottling this up for awhile now, since she was kissing me like she was afraid it would be the first and last.
We pulled away soon enough, to my dismay, and I found myself staring into her pools of blue, attempting to puzzle together the confusion that was my brain.
"I think...," she spoke gently, her breath tickling my lips because of how close we still were. "I think that you deserve better than her. That you deserve me. And I'm here. If you want me."
I was still catching my breath as she looked between my eyes, calm and collected. I didn't know what to say – everything was happening quickly, too quick for me to keep up.
"And if you don't, which it seems you don't," she continued, stepping back and smiling awkwardly, "I can be your friend. Though that might be a little strange now."
I watched as she backed up awkwardly, nearing the door.
"Kara, that's not it," I spoke, earning her attention. "I don't– I don't know what to say. This happened quite fast and... I'm still trying to acknowledge the fact that you, well, you like me."
"I didn't mean to confuse you," she said, pressing her lips together as she nodded. She opened the door and glanced at me. "I'll go. Sorry if this messed things up. I just couldn't hold it in any longer and you deserved to know the truth."
I watched as she smiled once more before leaving. I tried to think of something to say to stop her, but I was still tongue-tied. And then she was gone.
***
I knocked on Kara's door and waited impatiently for her to answer. I could barely keep still, all of my thoughts wanting to burst out of my head. I had so much to say to her and I was never good with my words, but I didn't have time to write this down – I had to let her know how I felt.
She finally answered the door and seemed confused, but she smiled nonetheless.
"Hey, Y/N..."
"I should have come sooner, but my mind has only just decided to co-operate with my heart, so I'm here now," I explained, knowing it didn't quite make sense when I said it aloud.
She nodded slowly, still staring at me with furrowed eyebrows. She stood to the side, signalling for me to come in and I did, glad to not be stood in the same spot.
When she closed the door, I spun around and breathed out.
"You want a drink?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No, no, I just need to tell you this," I said, cutting straight to the point. "You've helped me through a lot, and it probably would have taken a lot longer for me to be okay after everything that happened with Anna if it wasn't for you."
Kara nodded, looking like she wanted to speak, but thankfully, she let me continue.
"I care about you a lot, Kara. I do. I don't want to lose you, not now that I know what it's like to have you in my life. I thought that the way I cared about you was platonic. But then you told me everything you did and you kissed me and it was... it was perfect." I breathed out slowly. "I don't want to lose that."
"Why do you keep saying that?" Kara finally spoke up, shaking her head. "Why do you think I'm going to leave?"
I chewed on my lower lip as I glanced at my shoes. "As I said yesterday, I tend to care too much and evidently, that makes people want to leave. Or in my case, cheat."
"And as I said yesterday, that's completely false," she said, grabbing my hand and squeezing it gently. "I would never do that to you."
"I'm not saying you will," I said, shaking my head. "I just, I don't want you to think that... god this doesn't make sense..." I groaned to myself. "I know what I want to say, but it makes no sense."
"Tell me what you're scared of," she said sternly, eyes glued to mine with a look of determination. "Tell me exactly what you're thinking, Y/N."
I avoided her eyes as I tensed my jaw nervously. "You're not like her... I know you're not." I rolled my eyes at how silly I sounded. "But I overthink. And I can't help but wonder if it'll happen again. We might get together and it might be great, but then I'll do something wrong and you'll get tired. And I don't think... I don't think I could take that. Especially if it meant losing you."
"Y/N, are you going to look at me?"
I reluctantly raised my head to meet her eyes.
"Do you remember when we first met?" she asked, her blue eyes sparkling beautifully.
I wondered what relevance that had, but I nodded. "Yeah... you showed me around when I first got the reporter job. You were Miss Grant's assistant back then."
She smiled reminiscently. "Exactly. And do you remember when we first properly hung out?"
I nodded. "You asked if I wanted to get coffee together because we had the same break."
"Yep. And what about when we exchanged numbers?"
"Kara, I don't understand wha–"
"Just answer," she said, giving me a knowing look. "I have a point."
"Okay... you asked me to add your number when you said you couldn't find your phone and I rang it off mine. It was under your desk."
"And do you really think I misplaced my phone under my desk?" she asked, quirking an eyebrow.
I pulled a face. "Well... now that you say it aloud, it sounds kinda dumb."
"Uh-huh. Now, what about the first time we hung out outside of work?" she asked, smiling at me adorably now.
I was growing agitated, mostly confused at what her point was. Nonetheless, I answered. "We were tracking down some contacts for an article and finished pretty late. You asked me if I wanted Potstickers at a place you know."
"Okay, I know you wanna slap me for all these questions, so I'll cut to the point," she said with an amused smile. "One more question though. Do you know what all of those instances have in common?"
I sighed. "No idea, Kara."
She began to play with my fingers between her hands as she chuckled. "It was me who asked you everything. I initiated our friendship always. I always wanted to hang out. One may argue that I am the clingy one in our friendship."
She was smiling knowingly, but I was still confused.
"What?"
She laughed at my expression. "Your fear? Of being the overly-caring one? Of pushing me away because you're too involved? It's been proven wrong by the likes of me. It's impossible for me to leave because I'm the one who doesn't leave you alone. I'm the one who wants to be around you."
I realised what she was saying and didn't know how to respond. Once again, Kara Danvers had a way of sounding right and making me feel wrong. I had no choice but to believe her words.
"That time I asked you to go out with me for coffee? That was when I began to like you," she admitted. "And the time I asked you to get Potstickers, that was when I fell in love with you. Which, by the way, is another thing you should consider. I'm in love with you, Y/N. And I know you probably don't feel the same, but you should know. Because that means I loved you first, which means, once again, I'm being super clingy."
I felt my lips lifting into a suppressed smile as she watched me confidently, a comforting smile on her lips.
"I'm here, if you want me," she said seriously, though her eyes were gentle as they stared through mine. "I promise you won't lose me."
I breathed out, feeling my eyes go blurry a little. Her revelation had made me a lot more emotional than I thought, but it was good. My heart was swelling with adoration, the first in a long, long time.
"Well, firstly, fuck you for making me cry," I said, letting go of her hand to wipe the corners of my eyes. She laughed as I met her eyes again. "Secondly, you're the only person I've ever met to say things as sweet as those. Thank you."
"I meant every word," she promised.
I cracked a small smile. "Thirdly... you really fancied the shit out of me back when we first met, didn't you?"
She rolled her eyes playfully, but her cheeks were turning pink; it was my turn to laugh.
"What do you say to giving us a shot?" she said, staring at me, a hint of hope in her expression.
I nodded. "I want to make this work. I actually fancy the shit out of you, too, Kara."
Her smile widened into a grin, making her eyes squint up adorably.
"I think it's my turn to initiate something," I joked, before leaning forward and pressing a kiss to her lips.
I knew that I would always worry about my relationships, second-guess genuine actions and hesitate over little things – it was inevitable after what Anna did to me – but one thing I was certain of was Kara. It would work out, despite my fears. She reassured me always.
I trusted her.

Casual (Kevin)
Tumblr media
You and Kevin have been friends for years, but you two slowly drifted apart as Kevin went on his way to becoming an idol. That one random day, you suddenly hear some voices in your head, and it’s been giving you a headache since.
words: 1628
A/N: this is half serious and half not, WE’LL SEE. i also haven't’ done bullets in awhile, but i might just continue writing narratives bc i feel like i’m being too serious when i do bullet points.
also i’m sorry that i haven’t been posting any writings, and thank you for being patient!
You and kevin have been friends for years, yes
BUT
Kevin left and went on his way to be an idol
You ended up being in a band with a group of people that ended up being your friends
You played guitar
And let’s say you’re tiny
Bc i like tiny people
They’re the reason that you know about this soulmate thing
But you didn’t care
That might explain why you hear random noises
Sometimes screaming at like 3 in the morning
Sometimes it sounds like they’re yelling for their mom
Let’s say you’re fluent in korean
Thanks to family visits to kevin’s place and your bandmates
And let’s be real
You sorta forgot about kevin bc he’s gone for years
So you feel like the voice seems familiar but at the same time it’s not
You know?
You were just practicing one time and your head just
“CAN I GET A HOYAA!?”
You accidentally did a wrong note and it killed everyone’s ears
“ARE YOU GOOD?” your bandmates said
“NO.”
NOW TO KEVIN’S SIDE OF THE STORY
He’s was doing the flower snack thing
He was yelling so much
Whenever he does something, he yells for his mom
You know, the usual
Then he just yelled “CAN I GET A HOYAA!?”
And Hwall just answered
Dude
Then a random “NO.” popped up in his head
AND HE YELLED LIKE HE’S IN PAIN
“KEVIN WHAT THE HECK!?” New yelled
“SOMEONE JUST YELLED IN MY HEAD!”
“HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?”
“I DON’T KNOW, TELEPATHY!?”
It took awhile until he started to work and get ready for the little restaurant
He ended up bobbing his head while no music is playing
Why?
Good question
“Why are you bobbing your head?” juyeon asked while laughing
“Is there no music playing?”
“No?”
“Guess it’s just me.”
He finds out about the soulmate thing after his first fansign after debut and everything makes more sense
But he also things it’s hella weird
A couple months later and you guys have done some performances
Most famous one ends up being ft island’s summer night’s dream
Which is a bop by the way
Highly recommend
Your long note is what EVERYONE LOVES
Even your bandmates make you do it bc of how much they love it
With time went by, your group slowly got popular, mainly for your covers
Whenever you do a busking, everyone’s literally waiting for you guys
Sometimes your fans get their before you do
And they’re really nice that they let you through to get to your spot
Also you’re the only one with a natural hair color bc you don’t want to destroy your scalp
Everyone likes to watch your group tune their instruments
The fact that you guys tune your instruments by ear and that’s amazing
You accidentally sang a note and everyone’s all
“WHOA.”
You’re just sitting there all confused
Little did you know that you’re singing Giddy Up by The Boyz
And that Kevin is in the group
Bc you’re not into kpop and your friends just wanted to do the song
And it fits with the instruments in a way
When you started, everyone was already cheering, even before the first line even started
Little did you know that the group itself was cruising along and ends up hearing a familiar tune
“What is that?” one of the members ask
“It’s a different song, jacob, don’t worry.” another said
Sangyeon of course
Then they see a giant crowd
Like what?
When the first line was sung, they were all shocked bc it was their songs
Like
SOMEONE KNOWS ABOUT US?
THEY LIKE OUR SONGS?
Ok maybe not like that but they would be surprised
Kevin heard it in his head too and he was confused
So they went to check it out
Which startled the fans, but they managed to get to the front and see who it was
They didn’t know you guys
Kevin’s head didn’t even click on who you were
They stayed there until their song ended
Then the bop played
Aka summer night’s dream
They seemed to like the song and the beat and they even clapped with the fans
Your group looked and noticed them and almost had a heart attack
But they kept playing
Bc you gotta continue with the performance until you’re done
You’re not nervous though, bc you didn’t even notice them
You did that long note and kevin just seems shocked
But then he realized it was your voice that’s been in his head
Still didn’t know that it was you though
After you’re done, they all cheered
Of course you hear a mix of voices, but that one voice sticks out to you the most
You just continue waving to your fans
“Y/N, how do you tune by ear?” a fan asked
“Just practice until you can memorize the tuned notes. Took me so long, but it’s worth it.” you smiled.
Kevin immediately dropped his jaw when he heard your name
“Y/N!?”
You looked over to his direction
Where did that come from?
Then you see someone waving his hands in the air
But at the same time how come they haven’t been trampled over
But also your fans are nice, they wouldn’t do that
You were confused on who it was
He ended up smiling at you and YOU INSTANTLY KNEW WHO IT WAS
Now you’re wondering
How did you forget about him?
Oh wait, because of practice
After you cleaned up, you immediately went to him
“HOLY HECK I HAVEN’T SEEN YOU IN YEARS!”
“SAME WITH YOU!”
“Dude, you left me though.”
“I’M SORRY!”
Then you guys talked non stop
“Also, do you know about the soulmate thing?” kevin suddenly asks
“What.”
“Soulmates.”
“What about them?”
“I think we’re soulmates.”
“Were you the one asking for a ‘hoya’?”
“M-Maybe…”
“Then we are.”
“HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?”
“YOU’RE THE ONLY PERSON WHO WOULD LITERALLY DO THAT.”
“You’re not wrong…”
Now let’s skip to the part where you two are actually a thing
Ok so we all know you two are a thing
But you two more act like you’re best friends
You guys play fight
Then you guys would just chill
Cuddles?
Casual
Kisses?
No thanks
Kevin’s too awkward for kisses and so are you
When both of your groups hang out, they’re mainly focused on your instruments
And you two are only interested in chilling together
The only person you trust with your guitar is jacob bc he wouldn’t do anything that will damage it
Honestly, you two look like parents watching over kids
Too many kids
Whenever jacob was done, he would return it to you and you would play some notes
Kevin would touch some of the strings
Sometimes you would hit him because you were afraid that he’s going to break one
“Do you not trust me with your guitar?”
“No.”
“Y/N PLEASE.”
Of course you were only kidding
Both of your groups would ask the same question
“Did you guys kiss yet?”
“No???”
“??????? why haven’t you guys?”
“We don’t want to????”
“WHAT’S WRONG WITH KISSING?”
“IT’S G R O S S”
Honestly you guys are just being kids
You guys even treat kissing on the cheek as if you’re kissing another member
Everyone literally tried to get you two to act like a couple
BUT YOU JUST CAN’T
Insert the moment you kissed him on the cheek
CUE THE HIGH PITCH SCREAMING
HIGH AND LOUD ENOUGH THAT YOUR BANDMATES COVERED THEIR EARS
“SHUT UP YOU GUYS ARE LITERALLY DATING?”
“SHUT UP YOU’RE LITERALLY SINGLE??”
“SHUT UP??????”
Literally when are you guys ever serious about dating
To be real, kevin would probably follow you everywhere
But he knows his limits of course
Why hold hands when he can just cling onto your arm?
Why do just that when he can also hold your hand?
He also seems like the type to go to the arcade but watch you play the games instead
Seeing you happy and excited is the best thing that he had dealt with
When you win something, you’d give it to him
“But you won it?”
“But you didn’t do anything?”
“But you deserve it?”
“But I got it for you?”
“But-”
“Just take it”
“Ok”
To be honest, people wouldn’t even know you guys are dating
They just think you guys are just idol friends
You guys would go on night walks, possibly with a camera to video you both
But also an actual camera bc you love taking pictures
Sometimes kevin will just look at the sky and you would just take a picture
And BOY DOES HE LOOK STUNNING
Kevin would also take selfies on both of your phones
Since he’s the taller one and he purposely makes you look short as hell
That’s when you kill him
After your walk, you would go to the cafe
Those that are somehow still open
He’d call you basic for ordering a simple drink
You’d call him a coffee addict and he wouldn’t be sorry about it
Let’s be real, if beyonce was played in a store, he would start dancing
And you would just leave him
Especially in a store
Whether it’s a grocery store or a mall
He’d just yell your name
And you just raise your hand and in an instant he’s already clinging onto your torso
Like d u d e
He’d buy you lots of gifts and take you anywhere
Or let’s you drag him around places
You guys holding hands will probably be the most romantic thing you guys have done without screaming
Sometimes he kisses the back of your hand aka the only affection that you guys don’t scream at
Just
You guys are hella adorable
