Recap of โ€˜meeting themโ€™
Vanderโ€™s POV:
There were fire everywhere, surrounding the bridge after the enforcers took everything, the sound of a little girl singing the girl sungโ€ฆ
โ€œ Dear friend across the River โ€œ
Her voice was really sad but a little happy in it.
โ€œ My hands are cold and bare โ€œ
What is this song Iโ€™ve never heard of it?
โ€œ We should go see who it is Kara. โ€œ i whispered as she walked up to me while I punched the enforcer who was cling to my leg
She nodded he walked over to the singing girl.
[unknown] Iโ€™ll take what you can spare
What does she mean? I said in my head
Then I realized โ€™bloody hell sheโ€™s talking about the bloody enforcers!โ€™

Oh thatโ€™s it
[Me] Shut it Milo!
[Milo] And you, your name should literally be karma, because every bad thing you do it
comes back to you.
I looked down
[Vi] Guys, we just emptied a piltover penthouse right under enforcerโ€™s noses.
[Vi] So, if youโ€™re done beating yourselves up.
I guess thatโ€™s true
[Vi] Letโ€™s get this home.
Vi pulled me up since I have skates on

[Deckard] Nice haul?
[Milo] You could say that.

Deckard chuckled at my comment to him

[Me] Listen, we donโ€™t want any trouble, okay?
[guy 1] Hear that, Deckard? They donโ€™t want any trouble.

[Deckard] Thereโ€™s no reason this has to get ugly.
Ugh I hate him
[Deckard] How about you share a little taste of your treasure there.
[Me] No way!

We finally made it to โ€˜the last dropโ€™ where our dad works and lives at. Itโ€™s lots of fights here so weโ€™re not here a lot when thereโ€™s a fight.
We went inside of the bar and saw Vander I waved a little he just looked at me and smiled a little bit and then looked at the people he talking to.
Andโ€ฆ weโ€™re fucked
[V] Vander learns none of this.
[Mylo] No worries there. Powder and Kara took care of the evidence. I looked at Powder she had her head down
[Powder] We tried, okay? You donโ€™t get it. Youโ€™re older, youโ€™re bigger. It, it isnโ€™t fair.
I sat down by ekko and put my head in his lap (no weird stuff)
[Milo] So, stick with us! Take a punch or two.
I just blocked out what they were saying and closed my eyes as ekko ran his hands in my white hair just like him but Iโ€™m not related to him.
Then Vander came in as soon as I was falling in a deep sleep.
[Vander] Everyone all right?
[Milo] Never better.
[Vander] Good, I donโ€™t suppose you can explain why it is that Iโ€™m hearing about and explosion
My eyes snapped open when he said โ€˜EXPLOSIONโ€™
[Vander] Five children fleeing the scene. What weโ€™re you thinking?
[V] That we can handle a real job.
[Vander] A real Job?
[Violet] We got our own tip, planned a route, nobody even saw.
[Vander] You blew up a building.
[V] That wasnโ€™tโ€”
[Vander] Did you even stop to think about, what could have happened to you? Eh? To them?
[Kara] Wโ€” We didnโ€™t know that was going to um happen.
They all looked at me, but looked back at Vander
[Vander] What even gave you that tip?
[Powder & Kara] We just heard it at Benzoโ€™s shop
I got up to skate to powder to sit right by her so ekko can do something
[Vander] From?
[Powder & Kara] Little Man.
[Vi] I took us there. If you wanna be mad, be mad at me. But your the one who always says, we have to earn our place in this world.
[Vander] I also told you time and time again, the Northsideโ€™s off-limits. We stay out of Piltoverโ€™s business.
[Violet] Why? Theyโ€™ve got plenty, while weโ€™re down here scraping together coins. When did you get so comfortable living in someoneโ€™s shadow?
[Vander] Everyone out.
I grabbed Powders hand and skated out of there Mylo and Claggor weโ€™re first to leave.
Me & Powder was looking for something for me and her bombs we make they donโ€™t work but um I know they will work one day. She found a pieces of thrash metal for it. She pulled an orb, ๏ฟผ๏ฟผthat blew up the penthouse.
[Kara] You still have that?
She nodded
[Kara] Oh, weโ€™ll we should put it to use maybe it will help the bombs.
We ran to the door, Powder closed it in a hurry we rush down the stairs our room but Mylo said something, this made my blood boil.
[Mylo] their a problem.
[Violet] Mylo, Iโ€™m really notโ€ฆ.
[Mylo] Do you remember what was in that bag? They biggest payout weโ€™re ever seen and they just lost it.
[V] They made a mistake.
๏ฟผ[Mylo] name one thing they hasnโ€™t done.
Me and Powder looked at each other and we weโ€™re both crying
[Violet] Theyโ€™re young.
[Mylo] Donโ€™t bullshit me. You were twice the person at half their age.
I grabbed powders hand giving it a light squeeze and smiled a little too make her feel okay but it didnโ€™t work. I looked down I feel bad
[Vi] You know what, Mylo? Youโ€™re right. Thereโ€™s a bunch of thing Powder and Kara just canโ€™t do.
I tear started to stream down my face like a waterfall voices weโ€™re in my head so I took a deep breath and opened my eyes.
[Mylo] You donโ€™t have to tell me twice.
Me and Powder ran away before they can say something else because we couldnโ€™t take it.
Music was playing from upstairs I guess but me and Powder are making another bomb Vi came in but we didnโ€™t hear.
[V] So, what are you gonna call this one.
[Kara & Powder] Whisker.
[Vi] You wanna talk about today?
[Powder & Kara]๏ฟผ Whatโ€™s the point? We messed up everything. We always do.
[Violet] Nobody said that.
[Kara & Powder] You did. No. Just that you weโ€™re โ€œtwice the personโ€ at half our age. You heard them. Weโ€™re not a fighter.
[V] You donโ€™t have to be. Look, Iโ€™ve got these and youโ€™ve got those.
[Powder & Kara] They donโ€™t work. They never work.
[Vi] They will. Come on.
Me and Powder followed her up to the rooftop. We sat down on the edge of the building everyone lights weโ€™re on it was soโ€ฆ. PRETTY
[Powder] What are we doing here?
[Violet] See that gutter running along the canal?
[Kara] Yeah?
Vi gave Powder Pole from a fence.
[V] Thatโ€™s where Claggor got his foot stuck running from enforcers. They thought it was funny, so they left him there. He was out all night before we found him. That sign, You see it
[P๏ฟผowder & Kara] Uh-Huh.
[Violet] Mylo tripped over his own paint bucket and nearly fell off trying to Draw a giant middle finger.
[Kara laughing] I can see him doing that!
[Vi] his ass made that splotch.
[Powder laughing] Thatโ€™s funny๏ฟผ
[Vi] And that? When I was a kid, some guy took my favorite toy and threw it up there. I used to come out here at night and stare at it, hoping maybe the wind or a bird might knock it down.
[V] we all had bad days. But we learn, and we stick together.
Vi put an arm around powder and me looking at us when saying the last sentence.
[Powder] Oh, I forgot. These weโ€™re in my pocket, theyโ€™re from the apartment.
[Violet] What are they?
[Kara] I donโ€™t know itโ€™s just some orb.
[Powder] we donโ€™t know.
[Powder & Kara] Should we show Vander?
[Vi] No, Letโ€™s keep this our little secret?
When she said that me and powder smiled at her
[Vi] Myloโ€™s wrong, Kara and Powder you guys are stronger than you think.
[Violet] And one day, this city is gonna respect us.
I stand up and look at the moon.
3rd person POV: Silcoโ€™s Place
[unknown] You weโ€™re supposed to follow them and not interfere.
[Deckard] Iโ€™m sorry. They just caught us by surprise.
Deckard grunts out
[unknown] Now his accomplice is asking questions about you, thatโ€™s not a risk Iโ€™m willing to take.
Deckard grunts
[Deckard] The kids. It was their fault, the explosion in the upper city.
[unknown] That was them?
[Deckard] Yeah. The topsiders are up in arms looking for โ€˜em.
[unknown] Vanderโ€™s in trouble, Smartest thing ever said boy.
The people who works for the man takes Deckard.
[unknown] But keep him off the streets. Our timeline has moved up.
[man 1] Itโ€™s almost ready.
[Unknown] Show me, and side effects
They man puts the cat in the cage where something is there itโ€™s an rat.

The rat squeaks trying too get away from the hairless cat. The cat purrs the rat squeaks in pain as if what he was drinking was something dangerous?

Chapter Quote: โ€œNo. Noโ€ฆyouโ€™re the reason conditions exist for this."
Five Years Later
I could feel Dieterโ€™s lips lightly grazing up the back of my neck as he pulled me tightly against his chest. I glanced up at the clock on the nightstand through squinty eyes and groaned at the early morning hour.ย 
Dieter nuzzled his face next to my ear, โ€œCome on baby, we need to get up. Everyone will be here soon.โ€ย ย 
I scoffed and pulled a pillow to cover my face, โ€œSoon? We still have a few more hours.โ€ย 
He whined, โ€œOh come onโ€ฆI wanna take advantage of our alone time while we still have it.โ€
Sliding the pillow from my face, I turned to arch a brow at him, โ€œI donโ€™t know what youโ€™re talking aboutโ€ฆwe never have time to ourselves.โ€ย ย 
He kissed down the side of my neck, moving to hover over me as I settled on my back. His lips met mine briefly before murmuring between gentle kisses, โ€œShhh, donโ€™t jinx it. Weโ€™ve got at least an hour before all hell breaks loose.โ€ Just as his hand began to make its way down my body, there was a crash from downstairs followed by a loud commotion. We both groaned as his forehead dropped to mine. He chuckled, โ€œAaannd there goes the gateโ€ฆIโ€™m blaming you for this. You spoke it into existence.โ€ย 
I shook my head and smirked up at him, โ€œNo. Noโ€ฆyouโ€™re the reason conditions exist for this. Itโ€™s your fault, so Iโ€™ll let you go deal with it while I sleep in. Also, you owe me nowโ€ฆand Iโ€™m charging tax.โ€
Dieter feigned a look of shock, โ€œGeezโ€ฆsuch a steep price for withholding sexual gratificationโ€ฆโ€ He rubbed his nose against mine, smiling, โ€œIโ€™ll happily pay it tenfold first chance I get, mi amor (my love).โ€ย 
He leaned down for one last kiss, lingering for a moment as I scratched at the gray patches in his beard. He finally moved to get up and quickly threw on a pair of boxer briefs and gym shorts. As soon as he opened the bedroom door, Moony raced in and jumped on the bed to attack me with kisses. Dieter paused in the doorway, laughing at my grumbles and attempts to get Moony to settle down so I could go back to sleep. Just as Moony started to calm, we heard a small voice from downstairs yell, โ€œMolly is in the pantry again and I canโ€™t get her out!โ€ย 
Dieterโ€™s head dropped and his shoulders slumped. It was my turn to laugh at him now, โ€œYou wanted to take care of the baby goat, so you deal with it.โ€ย ย 
He sighed, โ€œI think I need to install one of those permanent gates. The tension gate is clearly not working.โ€ย ย 
My eyes widened as I snorted out, โ€œYa think?โ€
We were interrupted by the disembodied voice from downstairs again, โ€œThereโ€™s dog shit on the rug too.โ€ย 
Dieter stuck his head out into the hallway, โ€œLuca, I told you, donโ€™t say that word. Iโ€™m coming...โ€
โ€œFalse alarmโ€ฆI think itโ€™s vomit,โ€ Luca yelled back, ignoring the minor admonishment for his language.ย 
I placed my hand over my mouth to stifle the laughter that was threatening to burst out. Dieter looked at me, shaking his head before turning to go downstairs, muttering something about โ€œa fucking circusโ€ as he went. I sat up in bed, pulling Moony into my lap for a snuggle just as I heard Dieter hiss out a loud โ€œFuckโ€ followed by Luca saying matter-of-factly, โ€œTHAT pile was definitely dog shit.โ€ย 
I chuckled, hugging Moony closer, โ€œDid you do that, mister? No? Iโ€™m sure it was one of the othersโ€ฆโ€ย 
Several minutes of silence passed before I heard quiet giggles from Dieter and Luca drifting up the staircase. I moved to the bathroom to get ready for the day, thinking there was no telling what they were up to.ย 
Luca had only been with us for sixteen months, but he was already a mini clone of Dieter. He unexpectedly came into our lives with a phone call from one of our close contacts at CDSS, Amber, asking us to take him on as an emergency foster. Lucaโ€™s mother had sadly passed after an intentional overdose and CDSS was still working to locate other family members to place him with.ย 
Luca had been attending an after-school mentoring program which was funded by our three-year-old foundation that provided support to families who had experienced trauma. Lucaโ€™s dad had passed a couple years prior in a car accident, which qualified him for assistance and trauma support. Dieter was very active in the mentoring program and was matched with Luca early on. As a result, they had built a pretty solid relationship before Luca came to stay with us. It was only meant to be temporary until his relatives could be found, but they never found anyone willing or able to take him in.ย 
Dieter and I had discussed adopting after being unsuccessful in having our own children. I had reservations, of course, but my worries soon disappeared the day we went to the CDSS offices to collect Luca from their custody. Up until that point, I had only seen Luca in passing while rushing between meetings - not really having a proper introduction. Dieter talked about him frequently, often voicing concern about the boyโ€™s home life as they began to spend more time together. I knew Dieter had grown to care about Luca, so I wasnโ€™t completely shocked when he busted into one of my Monday morning meetings asking to speak with me in private about the call he had received from Amber.
As I watched Luca through the glass window at the CDSS offices, seeing his dark curls and sad chocolate-colored eyes caused something stir inside of me that I wasnโ€™t expecting. Dieter didnโ€™t hesitate to enter the room, immediately scooping Luca up into a tight hug. I watched the two of them together as Amber filled me in on what happened and was quick to mention that Luca had been asking for Dieter specifically since he arrived. The six-year-old had clearly bonded with Dieter more than either of us had realized, which is why Amber called Dieter first thing that morning once they knew an emergency foster would be needed.
Dieter and I knew early on that we wanted to adopt Luca if they were unable to find any relatives that would take him. We did have some concerns if the adoption would be approved given our mental health history, even though we had both been doing well for years now. However, Amber assured us that proper paperwork from the doctor would make that a non-issue since it was an in-state adoption. After eleven months of jumping through all the hoops, Luca, now 8 years old, was legally ours. Once things were official, we headed to Sonoma to enjoy the remainder of the summer weather and for much needed family time after the stress of going through the adoption approval process.ย 
The rest of the family was due to arrive, planning to spend a few days with us to celebrate. They were all just as excited as we were about the adoption. They had quickly accepted Luca into the fold without hesitation from the start and were happy that he would be staying with us.ย ย ย ย ย ย 
When I emerged from the bathroom, I could hear additional voices added to the mix downstairs. It sounded like Lauren and Alex had arrived earlier than expected. As I moved to pull a tank top from the chest of drawers, I realized our journal was sitting open on the top of it. There was a new entry from last night scribbled in Dieterโ€™s messy script.ย 
โ€œMi Vida (my life), I love going to bed every night with my arms wrapped around my guiding star and waking up every morning realizing my dreams are real. Everything is better with you. Iโ€™m still fallingโ€ฆย  Something else to note, I seem to have an insatiable sexual appetite for you, but thatโ€™s an entry for another day. Donโ€™t judge me...โ€
I snorted at Dieterโ€™s ability to mix sappy romantic language with his dirty thoughts. It never failed to make me laugh. Once I managed to stifle my giggles and finish getting dressed, I quickly made my way down to greet my best friend, and now sister-in-law, with a hug. Luca and Alex were chatting away about a book while Dieter pulled supplies out of the refrigerator to make breakfast. It appeared that Dieter had raided the laundry room since I saw him last. He had added a t-shirt and a pair of my fuzzy socks to wear with his โ€œhouse crocsโ€. I briefly wondered if this was what he and Luca had been giggling about earlier.
As we sat around the island chatting, Molly jumped the gate that was meant to block her from getting out of the โ€œdogโ€™s roomโ€ and came running through the kitchen. Lauren had to do a double take as the goat ran past, โ€œWas that a fucking goat in pajamas?โ€
Dieter snickered behind us from the stove as Luca ran after her.
โ€œYes, thatโ€™s a fucking goat in pajamas. Dieter offered to take care of her because she was rejected by her mother. Sheโ€™s going back to the farm up the road once sheโ€™s old enough. She's a menace.โ€
Lauren shook her head with a smirk on her face. She knew this had been a thing for a while. I rolled my eyes as I watched Dieter stuff an empty package into the already full trash can, โ€œLuca, would you mind emptying the trash, please?โ€
Luca shooed Molly away from the pantry as he shut the accordion door and moved to bag up the trash. Dieter mumbled a quick, โ€œGracias, hombrecito,โ€ (Thank you, little man) to Luca just as an empty cheese package fell from the bag. Moony snatched it and ran within seconds of it hitting the floor. Lucaโ€™s head dropped and his shoulders slumped as he watched Moony streak through the kitchen muttering โ€œMierdaโ€ (Shit) as he shuffled off in the direction the dog ran. Everyoneโ€™s eyes widened at his chosen language. I couldnโ€™t help the chuckle that slipped out before I spoke up, โ€œLuca, we told you to stop saying that word. That means the Spanish version too, bud.โ€ย 
He paused in the doorway and turned to look at me, โ€œLo siento, mamรก (Iโ€™m sorry, mama) โ€ฆbut that means you shouldnโ€™t say it either. Itโ€™s only fair.โ€ He shrugged, then skipped off after Moony without another word.ย 
I turned to Dieter with an accusatory look, โ€œI wonder where he learned that from...I swear heโ€™s a miniature version of you already.โ€
Dieterโ€™s eyes widened as he stuck a spoon in his mouth and shrugged, turning away to busy himself with whatever he was cooking. After pulling the spoon out of his mouth he muttered, โ€œMaybe, but he gets that sassy mouth from you.โ€ I narrowed my eyes at him as Lauren leaned toward me and quietly asked, โ€œSo heโ€™s calling you mom now?โ€
I smiled, suddenly feeling that same rush of adrenaline I felt the first time Luca had said it a couple weeks prior, โ€œYeah, as soon as we got to the car after everything was finalized, he asked if he was allowed to call us mom and dad now. We all had to take a minute to cry and hug in the parking lot.โ€ย 
โ€œHe seems like heโ€™s adjusted well. Has he said anything about his birth parents?โ€ Lauren asked in a low voice.
Dieter set a plate of eggs, bacon, and toast down in front of her, โ€œWe encourage him to, but he hasnโ€™t said much other than heโ€™s happier with us. He makes small comments here and there but nothing major. It seems like he wasnโ€™t in a good situation. Weโ€™ve thought about taking him in for a few sessions with Dr. Rosenberg when she feels like heโ€™s ready.โ€ย 
Lauren gave Dieter a sad look and sighed as Alex came back from putting the goat up. He washed his hands, then sat down beside her, just in time to get his own plate of food. Alex looked up at me, โ€œHeโ€™s a good kid...and he couldnโ€™t have been put with anyone better equipped to help him through it than you guys. Heโ€™ll be fine. Hell, heโ€™s already speaking Spanish better than Talia. Heโ€™s probably gonna be negotiating contracts before he graduates high school.โ€
I scoffed as everyone laughed, โ€œThanks for pointing that outโ€ฆjerk.โ€ย 
Alex wasnโ€™t wrong though; the kid was ridiculously smart and loved learning. He was constantly reading and watching educational shows on tv. He preferred that over cartoons.ย 
Dieter turned to set a plate down in front of me and another next to me for Luca just as he came stomping back through the kitchen with the cheese packaging in his hand. Dieter quickly pulled the trash bag out and tied it shut, telling Luca to wash his hands and eat. I watched as Luca stretched up on his tiptoes against the sink, attempting to get to the soap dispenser, but it was just out of his reach. Without a word, Dieter turned to grab the soap and squirted some into Lucaโ€™s chubby little hands and turned the water on for him. Luca smiled up at Dieter in thanks as he ruffled Luca's messy curls, kissing him on the top of the head before moving to take the trash out. It was little moments like this that made my stomach flutter and my heart happy.ย 
Luca sat next to me, chatting away about the dinosaur book he had just finished reading as Dieter came back inside and washed his hands before quickly making his own plate of food. Dieter stood next to the island with a full plate in hand as he ate since we were a seat short. He paused briefly, watching me smear fruit spread on my toast with a smirk on his face. When I was finished, his eyes caught mine just as I stuck the spoon in my mouth to suck the remnants of the sweet buttery treat off of it. I smirked around the piece of silverware and raised a suggestive eyebrow in his direction. Dieterโ€™s teeth sunk into his bottom lip as he watched me slowly remove the spoon from my mouth and smile at him.ย 
When Dieter and I finally broke eye contact, we realized Lauren and Alex were staring at us with an amused expression on their faces. Luca was still chatting away, completely oblivious as he poked at his eggs. Lauren shook her head at us, turning her attention back to Luca to ask him a silly question about something he had said. Lauren and Alex were used to our constant ridiculousness by now, so they were not shocked with our overt flirting.
Once Luca seemed to be satisfied with his fact sharing, Alex asked me how things were going with the vineyard since I had left my consulting job to oversee the operations here in addition to running the foundation. I paused mid bite to fill him in on the details, suddenly feeling overwhelmed by it all.ย 
โ€œItโ€™s going amazing actuallyโ€ฆDieter and I agreed to let the contracts with the wineries expire to get out of the alcohol businessโ€ฆaside from the one thatโ€™s been a partner from the beginning. We do have several new contracts lined up with some major food companies to make juice and other things. Weโ€™ve talked about growing a few different types of grapes to expand on that more since weโ€™re putting a lot of the profits toward funding the foundation. Everything has started expanding so quickly, itโ€™s crazy.โ€ย 
Dieter set his plate down as he moved to refill his glass, โ€œYeah, and weโ€™ve thought about setting up private tours and doing events, horse riding and equine therapy, there are SOOO many possibilities. We have so much unused space, we should really take advantage of it. I have a million ideas that Iโ€™m trying to sort through. We have this amazing asset so we might as well use it for something good, ya know?โ€
I swallowed down the bite of bacon I had been working on, โ€œAnd weโ€™ve been so lucky to have Mateo and Jose too. Weโ€™ve managed to build a good team that we trust enough to run the place while weโ€™re in LA. Theyโ€™ve been completely onboard with everything and are excited about the plans moving forward.โ€ย 
Alex smiled, โ€œWow, thatโ€™s awesome. I never would have guessed you guys would take all this on, but it really is amazing what youโ€™re doing. Truly. Iโ€™m happy this place is being used for something good.โ€
Dieter smiled back at his brother, โ€œI appreciate that, hermano (brother) โ€ฆand please know I still consider this place to be our family home. You're welcome here anytime, no matter if weโ€™re here or not. I donโ€™t want you to feel like itโ€™s not yours anymore.โ€
Alex patted his brother on the shoulder, โ€œI know thatโ€ฆyou knowโ€ฆI think mom would be proud of everything youโ€™re doing with your life and this placeโ€ฆand how everything has worked out for all of us.โ€
Dieter gave him a sad smile, โ€œYeah, I think so too.โ€
Lauren spoke up then, โ€œWhatโ€™s this you mentioned about opening a trauma facility or something?โ€ย 
I chuckled, โ€œOh yeah, thatโ€™s something weโ€™re looking into. Itโ€™s more like a nonprofit community and resource center...with specialty services in family counseling and mental health treatment for the low-income population. Itโ€™s in the planning stages, but we really want something small scale that takes more of a holistic approach to treating the family unit. There isnโ€™t really anything like that in LA. Dr. Rosenberg is on board with it so thatโ€™s been really helpful. If it happens and goes well, we plan to open additional locations.โ€
Laurenโ€™s eyes widened, โ€œGeez, you guys are going for it. Dieter, are you still planning to do movies then? I donโ€™t know how youโ€™ll have the time!โ€
Dieter shrugged, โ€œItโ€™s not really my top priority anymore. Iโ€™ve been taking on smaller things lately. I think I may focus more on the behind-the-scenes stuffโ€ฆlike writing or producing. Iโ€™ve also considered giving theater another goโ€ฆbut I think my heart is more into the work weโ€™re doing with the foundation at this point. All that other stuff, I just look at it as a means to further what weโ€™re doing with mental health awareness. It IS a good way to spread the word and stay relevant to get the message out though.โ€ย 
Lauren nodded, โ€œMakes sense.โ€ย 
By this point, we were all finished with our breakfast. Luca announced that it was time to take the dogs and the goat out and excused himself. A few minutes later, Moony, Molly, and our three foster dogs clamored down the hallway toward the back door to go outside. They were following behind Luca, who was now wearing his own pair of crocs. Once the door closed behind them leaving us with silence, Dieter again muttered, โ€œFucking circus,โ€ under his breath as he moved to put everyoneโ€™s dishes away. We all burst out laughing at his declaration considering he was the one who had created it.ย 
After Dieter finished putting the dishes away, he asked me if I knew where Daisy was since she hadnโ€™t followed the crowd out. Daisy was our elderly foster dachshund that preferred peace and quiet. Dieter went off to find her, returning minutes later with Daisy in his arms to interrupt our conversation so he could ask me if I wanted to stroke his wiener. Lauren nearly choked on the water she was drinking as Alex snorted in laughter. I sighed, shaking my head at him, โ€œWhat are you, like twelve?โ€ย 
Dieter chuckled as he leaned in to give me a quick kiss on the cheek, โ€œSometimesโ€ฆIโ€™m sorry, I couldnโ€™t resist.โ€ I continued shaking my head at him as I gave Daisy a quick scritch behind the ears. The four of us moved outdoors after that to keep an eye on Luca and the small herd of animals. A short time later, we were joined by Gabby, Shaun, and their three kids. They had stopped for pancakes on the drive up, so the kids were ready to run off their sugar high as soon as they got there - which worked out well for the young foster pups as they chased the kids around the yard.ย 
I sat in silence, snuggling Daisy in my arms as I listened to Gabby and Lauren catch up with each other next to me. I was intently watching Dieter and Luca playing with Moony while everyone else ran amuck around them. As Luca stood watching Moony tear off after the ball Dieter had just thrown across the yard, Dieter snuck up behind him. He grabbed Luca around the middle, lifting him off the ground, and buried his face into the boy's neck. Dieter began placing obnoxious kisses onto Lucaโ€™s cheek while he squealed in delight and struggled to get away from his papรก.
Our lives had changed so much in the past five years, in very unexpected ways. Our work was now more fulfilling and having a major impact on others in ways that we never could have imagined. From all the darkness we had experienced, a guiding light emerged and itโ€™s what led Luca to us.
Luca had been the last missing piece to our very complicated puzzle, healing the tiny bit of our hearts that we hadnโ€™t even realized was festering underneath the happiness after things didnโ€™t go as we hoped for our little family. Now I could only hope that we could do the same for Luca.ย 
The End (Sort of...)๐Ÿ’œ
Lucaโ€™s Adoption Story - a one shot coming May 2024 for Foster Care Awareness Month & Mental Health Awareness Month.ย 
A/N: And there we have it, folks. We have finally reached the happily ever after for these two. How are we feeling about things? Is this where you saw the future going for them? Was any of it unexpected? It's not truly the end for these two. We still have the companion serious, The Light in the Darkness, to look forward to. Also, as you can see, I plan to do a one shot detailing the events of Luca's adoption from Dieter and Talia's POV. I had planned to go into the details in the Epilogue, but I felt it was messing with the flow. So, instead, I kept it short, and we will get the more detailed version for Foster Care Awareness Month & Mental Health Awareness Month. ๐Ÿ‘‰Since we have reached the end, I thought it might be fun to open my asks to your burning questions about this fic. Are you curious about inspiration for something? Do you want more details on a specific plot point? Seriously, ask me anything. No question is off the table. Or, if you just want to share your thoughts, you can do that to. If you would like to follow along on the asks/responses, you can view those as they post HERE. ย  ๐Ÿ‘‰Just a reminder...Next week the first chapter of Closed Position is dropping. Dancing Dieter is finally here, y'all! ๐Ÿ•บ I posted a Meet the Characters intro bit this morning that you might want to check out. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Thank you all for sticking with me on this crazy ride and for all the support. I've enjoyed getting to know you all through your comments and reblogs. I've loved hearing your thoughts and personal stories. They kept me going when I hit the ole writing rut. And that's it. That's all I have. ๐Ÿ’œMysty

This was the seventh doctor you had been to and each visit only led to more tears in the end. To say it was frustrating wouldnโ€™t be enough. Tormenting, torturing; perhaps ย those were the words to closely describe the experiences. An autoimmune disease wasnโ€™t just something you could wave off, especially when you had multiple other health problems. Suffering and feeling the world turn gray suddenly as the life in you started to fade away. You felt like you were losing yourself as each year passed. Depression was rising as high as a tsunami wave.
Four years is how long youโ€™ve been sick and itโ€™s been a ride bumpier than hitting all the potholes while driving. How you became ill? It wasnโ€™t clear at all. You had just woken up one night, drenched in sweat from fear. A night terror was what they called it. The problem was, those night terrors came every single night since the first one until you stopped sleeping for two months. Getting only one to three hours of sleep until finally no sleep at all for the last two weeks. Due to the lack of sleep, your anxiety went off the charts. Shaking and trembling at the slightest of sounds, you stopped eating too. You were scared to death and of what? Not even you knew. You had fainted eventually and had woken up in a hospital room, almost dying of starvation and sleep deprivation but saved with an ambulance call from someone who found you.
The hospital doctor gave you a pill, not bothering to examine you properly. The trust you put in him was huge. You figured maybe you just lost your mind. Itโ€™s just anxiety and depression but oh, how wrong youโ€™d be. You recovered for a moment, only to suddenly fall again. Your health had been a bumpy ride and the night terrors (which thankfully did end from the new pill you started) but since then on you were never the same again. The things you once loved, you didnโ€™t anymore. Depression was to blame for that one. You lost bits and pieces of yourself. The bits and pieces scattered around, turning into blank pages and crumbling away. Who were you now? Certainly not that once bright being who could take on the world better. The person who had dreams higher than the clouds above.
Six doctors in a row deemed you crazy, god, how much did those words hurt you. Nobody wants to be called crazy especially not from medical professionals. You thought youโ€™d get used to the word after so many times but you just couldnโ€™t. You didnโ€™t have that strength anymore. The sad part is, the medical professionals didnโ€™t properly look at you. Something was wrong. Thanks to your seventh doctor, who caught it and is trying to pinpoint it now. She believes there is so much more to you. โ€˜Itโ€™s not all in your head. Those doctors are wrong, I will prove it.โ€™ Hopeful for the first time but of course, you also didnโ€™t wanna jinx it. For some reason, every time you mentioned something; it would turn out bad. As if a darkness cloud just followed you overhead constantly. After all, it took years to find someone who believed you and she wonโ€™t be the only one.
You did believe you were crazy as things just did not make sense overall, especially before this doctor came along. As time passed, you werenโ€™t just mentally ill with anxiety and depression. You were physically sick and every vein in your body was burning from it. You felt horrid pains in your body, ย physically too. Your poor body is suffering and you donโ€™t know how to help it. Thatโ€™s when suddenly, the thought of โ€˜being crazy couldnโ€™t be rightโ€™ hit you. Mustering up the small piece of strength you had to go on, you pushed for doctors until you found her.
The discovery of an autoimmune disease was found except for your case, it was special. โ€˜Of course itโ€™s special,โ€™ you once scoffed. โ€˜Nothing for me can be a simple answer.โ€™ Doctors found you a mystery and experimented on you. In the last two years, you had gone through several medical tests. Every two weeks, for months you got to feel needles poking you. Constant checking and testing that drained you. The doctors still deeming you crazy just because the tests they ran didnโ€™t make sense to them. You stood up and walked however, despite the difficult road ahead. You keep on going even if some days, you grab that razor blade and say itโ€™s totally over. Something small in you, is not letting it be over. Something that makes you heal your self inflicted wounds and try to care for yourself. It was a fucked up cycle and you knew that.
The autoimmune disease you had was special because it kept changing from one version to another. The problem is, thatโ€™s completely contradicting. One version of the disease kills your energy, makes you ache. You become very sluggish to the point where even taking a shower is hard. Heart rate slows and your face gets puffy. The other version; you are restless, jumpy and anxious. The anxiety jumps and your heart is racing. Yet here you were, switching between the two versions of the disease every few weeks. No wonder you were a mess. In the end, it was decided that a virus was messing you up and from it, you got the lovely gift of a physical nodule in your throat.
Luckily that nodule hasnโ€™t turned into cancer yet and you pray that it never does. Only bothers your throat from time to time and makes swallowing difficult a bit. Nobody wants to go through cancer and your heart has always gone out to people who do have it. You always thought that if it came to that, you wouldnโ€™t be strong enough to handle the news. You figured, youโ€™d completely break and give up.
You had a beloved guardian angel, your therapy dog who has passed away before you found out you were sick. You wore a golden locket around your neck daily in memory of her. An urn necklace with an angel wing attached to it. You believe she is protecting you somehow. Your guardian angel is the only thing you had to hang onto.
Recovering only to relapse again and again; spinning around like a tornado. New symptoms came that made things so difficult again. So here you were, with the seventh doctor. The only woman who believes something is still wrong. Your autoimmune disease was able to calm down, not being too harsh on you and not going through crazy spikes. However, your blood-tests had shown multiple other issues arrive yet again. The tears you held in so strongly burst the minute you got home. Stress levels were ascending up and you just locked yourself alone. Hating to cry in front of others so you just kept to yourself and let it out, in the comfort of your private bedroom.
A second autoimmune disease now found present in your gut this time. The first one being in your throat, a gland whose hormones can affect every organ. The doctor had a plan to detox your body as you found out you also had multiple food allergies causing leaky gut syndrome as well as developing anemia. All were contributing to making you ill. On top of it, the pill that you depended on for the night terrors and insomnia, causes the first autoimmune disease in your throat to worsen. The fear of letting go of the medical drug you depended on for these four years hurt you. How could doctors not tell you that the pill wasnโ€™t supposed to be for years? That it could physically cause a damage. Nobody warned you. You werenโ€™t sure if you could do all this anymore. You would need to start six supplements and you would have to tamper off your current medication by lowering the dosages every two weeks. The pill that saved you years ago in the hospital from night terrors now can be causing more illnesses. Bitterness against doctors is all you felt. Not for this seventh one but still after everything, it would be hard to trust her fully; even if she is different so far.
It was an overload of information and a month to do so much work. You just wondered why and how were you getting so ill. It couldnโ€™t just be that pill. Would it ever end? You felt no comfort because almost everyone around you seemed to be tired of hearing you sick. Your home life wasnโ€™t exactly the best. A father should protect not harm but thatโ€™s the life you got. Watching you struggle to move some days from pure exhaustion that the illnesses were causing yet nobody in your family seemed to really give a shit.
Nobody in general.
Except for one person; who didnโ€™t consider you โ€˜too muchโ€™ย and definitely cared.

One day, you met him. Beforeย your seventh doctor had discovered another autoimmune disease and advised you on a strict diet and detox, you made a friend. Jeon Jungkook was his name and you never thought someone like this could exist in the world. To say he is kind is an understatement. Jungkookโ€™s affection went high and far, regardless of how close you were to him. Overall, he was a guy who everyone adored. Sometimes his friends would get annoyed at how close he can get with a stranger. Barely knowing someone and giving them a shoulder to cry on instantly. In your life, you had bullies and abusers mostly. Kindness from humans was slightly strange to you. The only kindness you ever felt purely was those from beloved pets. Being a big animal lover, their comfort and playfulness made you lit up; especially when it came to dogs. The memory of your first and last one always replaying in your mind. She was there for you since you were eleven years old and now you were twenty-seven, losing her at the age of twenty-five. Somehow when you looked at Jungkook, he reminded you of a cute puppy. It made you actually chuckle. You wondered if maybe your guardian angel sent Jeon Jungkook your way, to show you that there are good people in the world still.

Days before; how you and Jungkook met.
You were out running around for errands; the usual grocery shopping and paying bills. Just these tasks were enough to make you lose your energy of course. Being ill and doing what most people called โ€˜simple tasks,โ€™ wasnโ€™t so simple for you and others alike. Once you had finished paying the bills and buying the groceries, you walked out of the store feeling somewhat weak. As you were taking a long walk in the parking lot with your cart full of bags, the beaming sunlight did not help that weak and tired feeling.
โ€œWhy did I have to park so farโ€ฆโ€ Mumbling at yourself since you chose to park quite the distance due to the recent minor attacks on your car. You felt paranoid parking close as you would always find new scratches on it.
You were half way there until you managed to trip, which embarrassed you but the tired feeling came over making you sigh out and not care if anyone saw anymore. You knew they would ignore you.
However, you would be proven wrong as you noticed the sun wasnโ€™t shining itโ€™s beam directly on you anymore while you were still on the ground. Luckily the cart had not drifted away much and stayed in place since you didnโ€™t shove it. You looked up, taking your eyes off the ground and were met with a man. A devastatingly, beautiful and handsome one at that. Nerves in your stomach formed a bit.
โ€œAre you okay?!โ€ He asked with a worried look as he knelt down to examine you.
Feeling your cheeks grow pink since you werenโ€™t used to this kind of attention, especially not from a handsome guy. He looked to be around your age, maybe slightly older? Though looks could be decieving since you looked younger than your age. At least thatโ€™s what others have told you. The words wouldnโ€™t come out of your mouth however only worrying him more.
He brought the back of his hand gently to your forehead, making you freeze. โ€œWoah! You feel really hot!โ€
You mentally cursed yourself. โ€˜Damn it.ย Of course, one of my fevers had to happen now.โ€™ ย 
Since the guy was so close and you still hadnโ€™t uttered a word out loud, you took a look into his eyes and suddenly he ripped his hand off you. โ€˜Is heโ€ฆ flustered?โ€™ You thought this because he suddenly looked very shy himself. It was cute.
โ€œIโ€™m sorry, I must have scared you...โ€ He said, with a voice sounding so sweet. You could listen to it for hours.
โ€œNo, sorry. Iโ€™m justโ€ฆ out of it...โ€ You finally spoke, making him pause for a moment. A look you couldnโ€™t figure out was on his face as he heard you speak. He then nodded, โ€œshould I take you to a nearby immediate care?โ€
A man you didnโ€™t even know was offering to take you to doctors and it all felt like a strange dream as you couldnโ€™t believe what was happening. Nobody was this kind to you before. Suddenly a car blared itโ€™s horns loudly and didnโ€™t look like it was going to stop. Which is typically the type of stuff you expect in life.
โ€œOh shit!โ€ The handsome man had cursed, pushing your cart further to the side and grabbing a firm but yet somehow soft hold of your wrist to pull you up. You were extremely light so he was able to do it with ease but also he was completely ripped. This man definitely works out so you were sure he could lift anyone up. You ended up with your head buried into his chest, โ€˜he smells really nice.โ€™ย His hand was still around your wrist. The car speeding past you both.
โ€œWhat the hell is their problem?!โ€ The man lightly yelled towards the speeding car, obviously appalled by it.
Touch-starved probably described you well as you felt like burning even more from just having your face in his chest. Fevers and charmingly sweet guys were a deadly combo. He was tall and you were a pretty short person. You fit well with him physically somehow, like a puzzle piece that was meant to be there. It felt totally snug and comforting. You quickly pulled away, stopping any more thoughts from surfacing. Your heart was already speeding up and you thought it had to be from never being close with someone like this, ever. There was no way you were actually feeling something for a stranger but was that really the truth? Time would tell.
Your eyes connected as he looked down at you when you pulled apart from him, his wrist leaving your hand. Deep down inside of you, you wish you didnโ€™t just pull away so quickly.
His cheeks were starting to tint pink along with his ears. In this quick moment, you inspected him; dark long ish hair that had a part which complimented his face so well. He had a lot of ear piercings which you admired and even wore a gorgeous bracelet. You noticed he had a lip ring as well which only made him hotter. He had beautiful light cherry colored lips & these wonderful doe-like eyes you could feel yourself get lost in. His skin was incredibly flawless on top of it. He dressed very elegantly almost as if he was a pirate king or something. He had black leather pants on with a white, slightly see-through top and with that you noticed that there seemed to be tattoos on his arm. His hand was visible to show that he had tattoos on there as well. This man had to be extremely popular. He was the actual definition of a โ€˜Greek Godโ€™ to you. Humans never made you feel safe before but him? He definitely gave you a safe feeling to add to the list of pros. Something about his aura felt comforting. He might have looked badass but that face screamed sweet.
โ€œIโ€™m sorry, I keep being touchy-โ€ he started, getting back that flustered look. You wondered how on earth he could be shy in this moment.
You had a very small smile creep on your face, โ€œstop please.โ€ He blinked, mouth slightly open. You were an adult and illnesses or not, you brought that confidence out and got serious. Little ounce of courage mustered up.
โ€œYou donโ€™t have to keep saying sorry.โ€ You said as he paid attention to you. โ€œYou just pretty much saved my life from that car.โ€
โ€œIt was no problem, anyone would have done the same.โ€ Bashfully, his words came out. He had both confidence and shyness. He showed an out-going side but also got shy, completely fascinating you.
โ€œNot really,โ€ your small smile started looking like a sad one and that made his heart hurt a bit. He continued staring at you as you continued, โ€œpeople arenโ€™t usually nice to me and not only that, you offered to take me to immediate care. Thank you, really. I appreciate it more than I let on.โ€
He smiled at you, not wanting to pry about why you said โ€˜not really.โ€™ He knew you must have had stories to tell, painful ones. โ€œWell a nice and pretty person like you shouldnโ€™t be hurting on the ground, with a fever at that.โ€ That confidence and even perhaps flirty-ness it seems came out of him. The nerves in your tummy reappearing now and your heart picking up itโ€™s pace. โ€œSeriously, are you okay?โ€ He asked.
For some reason, those words started to make you tear up a bit. Youโ€™re not the type to show people your tears but hearing someone sound so sincere and asking you that just hit like a ton of bricks.
The guy noticed and panicked, โ€œoh no!โ€ He got closer to you and lightly grabbed your hands to hold, โ€œIโ€™m sorry! Did I say something stupid?โ€
โ€˜Oh man, how can he be this charmingโ€ฆ and the cliche is so real. This only happens in movies and books, doesnโ€™t it?โ€™
โ€ขโ€ข โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” โ€ขโ€ขโ—โ€ขโ€ข โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” โ€ขโ€ข
That was only mere days ago and from that moment, he stayed with you. Doing his best to help you in what ever way he could and you found yourself spilling your whole life story to him. You never do this with people but somewhere in your gut, you just knew you could trust him. The words fell out of your mouth so easily that you even got mad at yourself for how open you became with him. He went above and beyond to show that you could trust him, just within these few days.Usually thatโ€™s extremely foolish but it felt like you two always knew each other. What you didnโ€™t know at first was how much his heart ached hearing about your life, the abuse and now the suffering of illnesses. He didnโ€™t want to show you his worry but he was so worried. Every night so far, heโ€™d come home and tell his friends about you since he lived with them. He would pray that you wouldnโ€™t get cancer ever and that with each doctor visit, something good would finally come out rather than bad news. Through his own body, he had no idea how terrible you could feel as he was healthy and so fit but he mentally felt parts of your pain.
It sounded beyond impossible and weird that two strangers could just become best friends basically in a matter of a few hours. It happened though, as bizarre as it might be. You learned his name, Jeon Jungkook. He was a little bit younger than you which shocked you due to him looking so manly and strong, but he was four years younger; being twenty-three. Jungkook was definitely playful and a bit teasing; he did it whenever he wanted to cheer you up but he also knew when to be serious. He knew when to pull back and listen to you carefully. When you had medical flare ups; although you would try to hide it from him, not wanting to bother him; heโ€™d just insist on you letting him know. Showering you in affection and comfort was just what Jungkook did. That came in hugs and even cute pecks from his soft, plump lips on your forehead, hands, etc. You learned a lot about how he is and how kind he is to anyone. He would willingly lend a hand to anyone in need. So not only did he look amazing, his personality was one of a kind.
It did secretly make you a little bit jealous though you werenโ€™t sure why. Jungkook is just as affectionate as a loyal puppy that wonโ€™t leave your side. His devotion was astounding. So friendly to everybody but a small pang of something not so great would wash over you. You felt stupid feeling at this slight jealousy because you knew the world needed more people like him.
What you also didnโ€™t know was that Jungkook was extraย sweet to you and only you, he just did a good job of hiding it. Sure, he could give his friends hugs, light pecks when they cry and even comfort a stranger with a small hug or hand holding but with you? He did it much more. Never having met his friends yet though, as you havenโ€™t known each other long; so you didnโ€™t know that little piece of information. He just knew he had an even more overwhelming urge to comfort you of all people. It wasnโ€™t pity either.
One night you would play gently with your urn necklace, holding it tightly and thanked her. โ€˜I think, my little angelโ€ฆ that you brought us together. I think you guided him to me. Heโ€™s the best friend I never thought I could find, after you of course.โ€™

Present Day
Today was the day you found out more health news and shattered, closing yourself off. Locked up in your bedroom, crying your heart out. The good news is, if this doctor is correct, it should start putting you on the path of recovering. If she is wrong, itโ€™ll hurt you more and you donโ€™t think you could handle another blow. You thought you should be happy although a brutal and strict plan had to be followed but instead, you felt sadness that you had to go and develop another illness plus extra problems. It was exhausting.
Your phone was pinging madly and you knew, only one person could be spamming you right now. You knew Jungkook was waiting at home to hear back from you.
You stopped your crying to go grab your phone but a coughing fit had started. The coughing fits come and go, either from the nodule in your throat sometimes hurting or from the horrid acid reflux you got often; which started damaging your vocal chords just a bit. Your coughing fits could last anywhere between five minutes to forty minutes. Seemed like many minutes would be the one today. You groaned in between a cough.
Several minutes had passed and thatโ€™s when your phone started ringing. Obviously Jungkook now was worrying and trying to get a hold of you since you didnโ€™t reply to his texts yet. You tried your best to stifle some coughs and answer the phone.
โ€œH-hello,โ€ you answered with a scratchy throat. A small cough escaping from your mouth. Jungkook on the other end, already frowning at the sound.
โ€œ(y/n), is it a coughing fit?โ€ He asked, already knowing you so well within a few weeks and learning your uncontrollable habits.
โ€œYesโ€ฆโ€ you barely let out and kept trying to hold it in.
A sigh escaped Jungkookโ€™s lips. His tone was gentle โ€œdonโ€™t worry (y/n), donโ€™t hold them in. Let them out. Iโ€™ll stay on the line and wait so youโ€™re not alone.โ€
Your heart melted a bit at that but you still covered the phone as best as you physically could as you let out coughs. Jungkook hated hearing you suffer. He wouldnโ€™t admit it but he was a sensitive person. He heard it muffled through the phone. He hated feeling like there was nothing he could do himself. If he had cures, the universe knows he would do anything to cure you himself. Even if he only knew you for a few weeks. Time meant nothing to him when he felt a connection to you from the moment he saw you. What that connection meant, he did not know although he was slightly sure but didnโ€™t want to admit it. All he knew was that he had to befriend you somehow and be here for you afterwards. Of course, he also had to help you that day you met since he saw you collapse in a parking lot. No normal person can ignore that. Sincerely, he did want to befriend you. Not just because you were ill and needed someone, he really thought you were a special person in general especially when you first looked into his eyes and when you first spoke.
When the coughing fit was fully over, you were able to speak with him though your voice sounding raspy now because it always did after a fit. It would return to normal after an hour or so.
โ€œHey Jungkookie,โ€ you said making him chuckle at bit.
โ€œYou okay, dear?โ€ he was pacing around his bedroom as he spoke to you. His friends walking past his room to check in on him since he told them you would get medical news today. His friends knew he was scared of what that news would be. While you on the other end had to stop yourself from melting slightly when you heard the word โ€˜dear.โ€™ It just sounded so nice coming from him.
โ€œWhy do you make me feel like the younger friend sometimes?โ€ you replied, going to lay with your back on the bed. It was true. Jungkook had quite the mature aura during times like these.
โ€œYouโ€™re mature and pretty wise but sometimes I just wanna be here for you. Itโ€™s okay to have moments of feeling younger. Iโ€™m here for you in the moments you feel weak, ok?โ€ He read you well because that is exactly how you felt, weakย and he knew you hated it but always assured you that it was okay. โ€œI know I can be immature and perhaps a prankster even butโ€ฆโ€ he paused for a moment and you continued hanging onto his every word, โ€œI am a manโ€ฆ I can be a strong one and you can lean on me when you need toโ€ฆโ€
Both hearts skipped a beat at that. Jungkook started thinking if those were the right words and through the phone you could feel that shyness of his about to consume him so you spoke up quickly, โ€œthank youโ€ฆ youโ€™re the best.โ€
He was happy to hear that but still, the heat creeping up on his skin didnโ€™t stop the blush from spreading across his face.
โ€œAbout today Jungkook-โ€ You started as you wanted to tell him what the news was.
โ€œWait!โ€ He half yelled and you paused. โ€œCan we meet up please? I wanna hear in person.โ€ It felt like the right thing to him and although you didnโ€™t want him knowing you were crying, you couldnโ€™t say no to him at all.
โ€œS-sureโ€ฆโ€ you stuttered while smacking your forehead with your free hand for stuttering.
โ€œGreat! Where do you wanna meet?โ€ He had stopped pacing around his room, feeling grateful you two would meet up now. The happiness in his voice showing. You actually didnโ€™t live far from one another, only fifteen minutes away.
โ€œHow about the park nearby? It usually doesnโ€™t have many people around.โ€ You said.
โ€œSounds good dear, I will see you there soon!โ€ He replied and you said your โ€˜see ya soon hunโ€™ and hung up.
โ€ขโ€ข โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” โ€ขโ€ขโ—โ€ขโ€ข โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” โ€ขโ€ข
Jungkook was already a few minutes early to the park; he picked an open spot so you could easily find him as you walked through the gates. This park was different from others, in that it was very quiet with few people around. Those few people coming here to mostly meditate since there were many beautiful ponds and gardens around.
You strolled in spotting Jungkook sitting on a bench in the middle. He was already facing you so once he saw you, he started running towards you. You did your best to dry your face before arriving but your eyes were red. You hoped he wouldnโ€™t notice it, hiding behind your glasses somehow.
You couldnโ€™t help but smile when you saw him rush towards you. Something finally cheering you up today. You started walking towards him since running was a bit difficult for you to do right now but he caught up to you quickly so you didnโ€™t even have to walk much.
Instantly, he wrapped his arms around you for a tight but comforting hug. You should have expected it but still werenโ€™t fully able to get used to it. Youโ€™re just pretty shocked at how adorable he is despite always seeing him be this way. Receiving affection from Jungkook was common but hard to wrap your head around after being a loner for so long. You would freeze up at first but slowly give in to that comforting and safe-like feeling, lightly hugging him back. When you started doing that (because the first few times you would just stand there), Jungkook always ended up getting that shy feeling. He loved when you would hug him back and show youโ€™re comfortable with him. He would always joke and tell you, โ€˜oh cโ€™mon, you can give me a stronger hug than that!โ€™ or โ€˜afraid youโ€™re gonna break me?โ€™ Which flustered you but made you giggle.
Today he didnโ€™t do that; you two just stayed hugging for a bit. Both secretly enjoying it without letting it on. When you both finally broke apart, he took a look at your face and frowned. You knew that he realized you were crying but you knew he also wouldnโ€™t bring it up when you gave him a look that read, โ€˜donโ€™t wanna talk about it yetโ€ฆโ€™ Since he would still have to mention it at some point because he wanted you to always know that he was here for you.
He took the cue and grabbed your hand, holding it while guiding you to an empty spot in the park; away from the people meditating. A more secluded area where trees could hide you both a bit. His hand was so warm while yours was so cold.
โ€œJungkook, donโ€™t let my cold hands ruin your warmth.โ€ Youโ€™d try to pull away but he wouldnโ€™t let you. Not looking back at you as you walked a step behind him. He still led you before you reached the exact spot.
โ€œNonsense, I wanna warm you up. I got enough warmth for the both of us.โ€ He would casually reply and this made your heart beat faster. You only hummed in reply.
It was safe to assume, you probably liked your new best friend a tiny bit more than you thought you should have. You were willing to keep that buried inside you though, hoping this feeling would go away in the future when time starts to pass. It wouldnโ€™t surprise you if he had many people having some kind of a crush towards him. He just makes it way too easy to like him. You had no confidence of him ever having a crush on you back because you knew he was just a natural sweetheart. Plus you thought he was way out of your league.
You made it to the spot and he still didnโ€™t let go of your hand. You both sat down under a pretty and small myrtle tree, blooming pink flowers. His face got serious as he looked at you, still holding your hand. You knew he wanted to know the news now. You took a deep breath, making sure tears wonโ€™t start sliding out.
โ€œItโ€™s not good,โ€ you bluntly said and he started frowning a bit but waiting for you to go on. You reminded him a little bit of one of his friends, called Min Yoongi. His friend was blunt so he was okay with you not sugar-coating words. โ€œShe found anotherโ€ฆโ€ you felt a bit shaky but held strong and his grip on your hand tightened. โ€œI have two autoimmune diseases now and this one harms the gut. But we all know most health comes from your gut and all my stomach issues make sense now.โ€
He was disappointed and it showed on his face, โ€œwhyโ€ฆโ€ he stopped looking directly at your eyes and more towards the ground.
You didnโ€™t know what he meant when he said โ€˜why.โ€™ โ€œUm-โ€ you started but he cut you off.
โ€œWhy is this happening to you? Two autoimmune diseasesโ€ฆ?โ€ His voice sounded slightly irritated which you never heard that tone before. โ€œI didnโ€™t even know someone could have more than oneโ€ฆ Iโ€ฆ what the hell.โ€ Jungkook wasnโ€™t sure what to think anymore at all. All he wanted was for you to finally be happy and he knew, being healthy was your only wish in life. His hand never left yours.
โ€œI hate seeing you suffer and struggle.โ€ Continuing because now you were too shocked to stop his rant. โ€œAnd I canโ€™t do anything about it which pisses me off honestly,โ€ he didnโ€™t hold back being blunt either and his voice almost cracked.
You decided to step in, โ€œJungkookieโ€ฆ there is some good news too. Iโ€™ll get to it.โ€ It was true because your doctor gave you an extremely difficult set of tasks to focus on but if she was on the right path, it could help you and possibly finally put you in recovery. Nothing good comes easy after all. Trust issues arose in you but you decided to fight that for the sake of cheering up Jungkook.
His eyes looked so sad but he stopped to take a look at your eyes and listen clearly. Hope building up a little bit in him now. โ€œYeah?โ€
You nodded, โ€œIโ€™ve been sort of poisoning my body it seems.โ€ At this, his eyebrows furrowed and he started getting a worried look so you quickly went on.
โ€œIโ€™m allergic to a huge list of thingsโ€ฆ that I didnโ€™t know and kept on eating for god knows how long now. They are healthy foods since I already had a slight strict diet but all contain something I am allergic to. So itโ€™s harming me especially because she said I had something called leaky gut.โ€ You explained and he had no words. He just nodded as a cue for you to continue because you realized he probably doesnโ€™t know what leaky gut is and you donโ€™t really understand much of it either but a small gist.
โ€œSo leaky gutโ€ฆ basically we have this wall like a brick wall at our gut. Blocking anything from entering your b-bloodstreaโ€ฆโ€ you felt shaky and Jungkook took notice. You mentally hated yourself so much from constantly being scared of this stuff. He brought the back of your hand to his mouth and placed a gentle kiss on it. You felt butterflies but thanks to this, tears didnโ€™t spill out of you. Instead you got slightly embarrassed. Jungkook wasnโ€™t sure of how else to comfort you so this came naturally to him.
โ€œYou donโ€™t have to go on if you canโ€™t, (y/n).โ€ His words were soft and you felt his breath against your hand that he still held close to his lips. You squeezed his hand in response, โ€œn-no, I can finish. Thank youโ€ฆโ€ you mumbled and his heart fluttered at seeing you blush a bit.
โ€œOkay (y/n), Iโ€™m here. Say whatever you can, donโ€™t force it out if it gets too hard.โ€ He shyly said and you gave him a smile. He felt his cheeks get warm so he cleared his throat and looked away for a moment, making you confused.
โ€œJung-โ€ You started but he replied, โ€œIโ€™m good. Go on.โ€ He put your hand down his to lap again as you sat closely and across each other. Still not letting it go. His eyes met yours again with confidence now.
โ€œOkayโ€ฆโ€ you mentally toughened up to get back to your explanation, โ€œso this wall protects stuff from entering your bloodstream and for me, my wall is broken. So foods or medications, anything I intake is entering my bloodstream. I also have a huge line of inflammation happening which is causing issues.โ€ Jungkook now understood what was happening since he learned about your first autoimmune disease, he knew there was a similarity.
He spoke, โ€œso things that shouldnโ€™t go into your bloodstream have gone there which triggers your bodyโ€™s defence.โ€ You nodded and he continued, โ€œTo defend your body, itโ€™s gonna go haywire attacking whatโ€™s โ€˜foreignโ€™ which is the foods and stuff. It wants to protect you but it goes overboard and attacks you as well. Just like the autoimmune disease in your throatโ€ฆโ€ he felt sad now.
โ€œYes, you got it. She also explained it that way.โ€ You said, โ€œa virus attacked my throat gland and my body attacked the virus but also got confused and started attacking itself. Now my gut, is doing that. She believes another autoimmune disease is present since thatโ€™s what they do.โ€
He let out a sigh, โ€œI am so sorry, (y/n).โ€ You blinked in confusion.
โ€œWhy Jungkookie? Itโ€™s not your fault.โ€ You took your hand out of his hold and patted his hair gently, โ€œitโ€™s okay.โ€
โ€œHow is it okay? The worst part that I realize now, unlike regular foodโ€ฆ youโ€™re putting ones youโ€™re allergic to, into your bodyโ€ฆ thatโ€™s why youโ€™ve been sick a lot and stuck in bathrooms. I get it now, the โ€˜poisoningโ€™ youโ€™re doing without you even knowing so itโ€™s not your fault. None of this is ever your fault, itโ€™s not the fault of the person who becomes ill. That soundsโ€ฆ scary though.โ€ His emotions were starting to creep out, โ€œand not any other single doctor tried to do something as simple as a food allergy test? How can they be this disappointing and stupid?!โ€ He was a bit angry for sure and the fingers you used to run through his hair, took a hold at the back to bring his head into your chest. Your free one arm, holding the back of his shoulder as best as you can. Even if you tried holding tightly, your grips were always soft. He stopped feeling angry as he heard your heart beat. You never did a bold move yourself. He was shocked for a second but slowly leaned into you. You prayed your heart rate wouldnโ€™t start increasing. His hands wrapped around your waist. โ€œIโ€™m sorry, you are feeling way worse than meโ€ฆ Iโ€™ll calm down.โ€ You chuckled, โ€œyou are unbelievable Jeon Jungkook,โ€ Jungkook got worried hearing that from but you went on, โ€œitโ€™s okay. If it were you in my shoes, Iโ€™d feel helpless too. I understand it.โ€
He sighed in relief, โ€œbut still (y/n), I canโ€™t imagine how your body feelsโ€ฆโ€
โ€œItโ€™s hard but thank you for being here and doing your best to understand it all. You are so kind. It does cheer me up Jungkook, Iโ€™m sorry I donโ€™t show it often.โ€ You admitted and his hold on you got slightly stronger. You decided to rest your chin on top of his head, thankful he couldnโ€™t see your face right now as you were a blushing mess.
โ€œ(y/n), I know we barely know each other but it feels like youโ€™ve been myโ€ฆโ€ he stopped himself before confessing a secret he held in, โ€œโ€ฆbest friendย for years. I have my best friends but you too now. Iโ€™m gonna get you to meet them, I promise youโ€™ll love them. Youโ€™re part of my life now and youโ€™re staying, got it?โ€
A small tear rolled down your cheek as you felt pure joy from his kind words, โ€œthank you. Iโ€™m staying, donโ€™t worry. Youโ€™re myโ€ฆโ€ you also almost let a secret out, โ€œbest friendย too.โ€
A comfortable silence came around you two as you both just held each other and listened to the sounds of nature. There were sounds of a pond flowing nearby and sweet little birds chirping. The winds would blow ever so slightly, making pink flowers dance around you and Jungkook a few times. Both of you, nevertheless, with racing hearts and blushing cheeks, small smiles painted on your faces. Both of you feeling a bit sad internally for saying the words โ€˜best friendโ€™ but thinking itโ€™s right. Two oblivious idiots not wanting to ruin a new friendship, especially at a time like this. You felt ashamed of being ill sometimes; honestly you felt gross and wondered how Jungkook wouldnโ€™t be grossed out at you. That always confused you because Jungkook complimented you even on your worst days. Due to your feelings of it, you never once wanted to think of the word, โ€˜romance.โ€™
While Jungkook was worried that itโ€™d be weird and didnโ€™t want to scare you off, plus the time felt wrong because you were suffering; he thought you really just wanted a best friend only so he hoped his feelings could go away soon.
For him, it was probably love on the day he met you. The day he helped you. He knew becauseโ€ฆ as cheesy and stupid as it may sound, he heard bells & whistles. You had a fever but did your best and just the way you spoke and tried to carry yourself after the car thing happened, captured his heart on the spot. He knew you didnโ€™t think you were beautiful and he thought how blind you were. When he first heard your voice, he thought you sounded like an angel. The way you treated him once he did take you to immediate care that day, heโ€™d never forget. While on the outside you might appear cold or distant, he knew you were filled with kindness and innocence even. Never once did he believe those people who fell in love at first sight but now? Feeling so foolish for letting it basically happen to him.
โ€ขโ€ข โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” โ€ขโ€ขโ—โ€ขโ€ข โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” โ€ขโ€ข
After the comfortable silence, you continued your story of the doctorโ€™s visit. With Jungkook paying lots of attention and trying to understand. He knew a difficult journey was about to begin for you. The detox process, even said by the doctor, would be extremely hard. You had only a very limited option of foods to eat which wouldnโ€™t help you keep a steady weight. You had to tamper off a medication so that could cause anxiety and panic attacks to burst out again. Starting multiple supplements such as iron which you were scared of. You knew iron would be heavy on your stomach and you hated that feeling, it scared you beyond to feel more ill. You definitely had a horrid phobia of being ill. What person wouldnโ€™t though? When you were younger, you never pictured getting real illnesses. Even then, you had that phobia but your phobia came to life. You couldnโ€™t imagine the people that had it worse and were even more ill. They were beyond strong to you. Any person who was suffering, whether small or big, you considered strong no matter what.
You had to be extremely careful and the doctor gave you only a month or two. Blood-tests would get repeated to see if this process is working. Jungkook knew this was a gamble because if the doctor is wrong, you would feel more ill but he did his best to shower you with positive words and actions. He knew what was going to come this month; your moods would go up and down, your panic attacks could restart from withdrawal, itโ€™s gonna be a major adjustment eating only a few foods and ones you werenโ€™t very fond of. He personally felt that this doctor was rushing too much onto you. He felt this should take a longer time and that you should get more time. He knew nothing would be your fault and that youโ€™re gonna try your best thanks to his encouragement. He knows sometimes you wanna give up although you try to hide. If that happens, he will rush to pull you up.

As three weeks passed and the detox process almost a month in, you instantly felt the hit of it on day two. You felt extremely light now-a-days, wondering if you only weighed 1 pound because thatโ€™s how it truly felt. It was still taking time to get used to the foods and these foods such as soup for lunch now and some oatmeal for breakfast, werenโ€™t giving you the energy you needed like the foods you were allergic to gave. You will admit though, stomach problems were decreasing which was a positive.
The lowering dose of the pill brought back anxiety attacks indeed. You werenโ€™t sure if this would last but crying spells were becoming common. Some days, there was just nothing to cry about yet you cried out of nowhere. You also werenโ€™t sure if this came from you being afraid of losing the pill because that was possible. The human brain is a powerful tool that can trick you sadly.
During these three weeks, Jungkook did not leave you alone unless on some days you truly couldnโ€™t get out of bed at all. You had gone on a small break from work so luckily you had money saved for this.
You lived with your family who werenโ€™t caring or understanding of this. Although you were a young adult, you couldnโ€™t live alone thanks to your conditions but your family neglected you unless you fainted. Then they would help for a moment but nothing else. Jungkook saw this, being at your home a few times and decided to take matters into his own hands. He convinced his friends to let you move in with them. Granted you were to live with seven men including Jungkook but his friends were good people. He knew they would never do anything to you and knew they would be of help. Plus you needed this and they lived in a big house with a guest room perfect for you.
The doctor warned you, this isnโ€™t a journey you should go through alone nor on your own at all. She even told you to be around caring people.
โ€ขโ€ข โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” โ€ขโ€ขโ—โ€ขโ€ข โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” โ€ขโ€ข
An overwhelming amount of guilt was consuming you though. When Jungkook brought two of his friends Kim Namjoon and Kim Seokjin to help you move out of your house and into theirs, you started a small argument with him. You were beyond shocked that he would offer his home to you and even came with two of his friends against your wishes not to. He told his friends to go grab your things because they were strong while he took you aside to speak with you. He saw you were emotional and didnโ€™t let his friends greet you yet.
โ€œWhat are you doing!?โ€ You yelled in a raspy voice and the yell wasnโ€™t even very strong as you truly were depleted of power.
He held your shoulders down as you saw his friends moving some of your things out of the house and into a moving truck. Jungkook gave them the layout of your house so they could know how to navigate.
โ€œ(y/n), you have to get out of that house. Itโ€™s not going to help you at all. Youโ€™re feeling very ill and uncomfortable from the detox which is normal but you cannot stay here anymore with these people.โ€ He said firmly and calmly, still holding your shoulders and you looked at him, all red in the face and teary. He knew this was your family but man, did they frustrate him to no ends.
โ€œWhy arโ€ฆโ€ you choked up when more tears spilled. Jungkook just hugged you. โ€œW-whโ€ hic, โ€œwhyโ€ฆโ€
โ€œShhh, itโ€™s okay.โ€ He said.
Your hands were at the front of his chest and you grabbed a fistful of his shirt, your crying slowing down a lot, โ€œJungkook, youโ€™re gonna ruin your life for mine you idiot.โ€
He separated you from him so he could look at you, with confusion written all over his face. Your hands letting go of his shirt. โ€œWhat on earth are you talking about?โ€ He asked with a frown.
You didnโ€™t take your eyes off of his, calming down the crying and just letting tears silently roll all over your face. โ€œYou deserve to be out having fun. Youโ€™re younger than me and yet youโ€™re here always caring for me.โ€ Jungkook stopped frowning and felt touched as you went on. โ€œI donโ€™t want you to sacrifice anything for me!โ€
โ€œ(y/n), are you-โ€ He said but you stopped him.
โ€œPlease stop this Jungkook!โ€ You were slightly angry, โ€œstop doing so much for me!โ€ you half shouted, feeling a bit dizzy. He didnโ€™t speak yet as he knew, more words would pour of you.
โ€œY-youโ€™re beingโ€ฆ so stupid Jungkook! You barely know me!โ€ These words had hurt him now and the look of hurt flashed on his face, making you feel worse. Your heart was pounding in your chest hard.
โ€œDo you really care about time that muchโ€ฆ? Does that really matter, how long Iโ€™ve known you?โ€ He asked, looking away from you. You bit your lip.
โ€œNoโ€ฆ but-โ€ You mumbled.
โ€œBut what (y/n),โ€ his eyes focused on you again but you were silent. โ€œMaybe I am just stupid in your eyesโ€ฆโ€
A small gasp came out of you as you saw him smile so sadly, โ€œno! Thatโ€™s not what I think!โ€ You definitely didnโ€™t know how you were standing now as it felt like the world shook from beneath you.
โ€œThen why am I being stupid?โ€ He asked, โ€œdo you secretly hateโ€ฆ that I do this?โ€ he looked down at his feet, biting his lip.
โ€œIโ€ฆโ€ you started but felt sick and then your world turned black. You had fainted and Jungkook caught you in his arms. His friends came over. He didnโ€™t think you would faint now but he should have realized with how frail you looked. Mentally slapping himself for it.
โ€œAre they gonna be okay?โ€ Namjoon asked with a concern look at you. None of his friends actually met you yet but Jungkook told them a lot so they felt like they sort of knew you already.
โ€œThey faint a lot sadly, but they will be okay. We have to get them home, ice packs help them a lot.โ€ Jungkook said as he carried you and started walking towards the truck, โ€œare you guys done?โ€ He asked Namjoon and saw Jin coming.
โ€œYeah, we got it all now.โ€ Namjoon replied, following him. While Jin caught up, putting the last item in the truck. He saw Jungkook gently placing the soon-to-be new house member in the front passenger seat of the car.
โ€œIs this a good idea?โ€ Jin asked out allowed and Jungkook looked at him, โ€œyes. They canโ€™t stay here.โ€
Namjoon chimed in, โ€œYeah manโ€ฆ you heard the storiesโ€ฆ they need our help.โ€
โ€œBut they didnโ€™t seem too happyโ€ฆโ€ Jin admitted and Jungkook sighed, โ€œtrust me. Weโ€™ll talk it out. Theyโ€™re not well but I trust they will understand and accept the help.โ€ He took a look at you, softly petting your hair. โ€œTheyโ€™re stubborn and going through a lot but this is the right thing to do.โ€
Namjoon replied to that, โ€œitโ€™s true. The family didnโ€™t even bother to care about what we were doingโ€ฆ itโ€™s sad actually. Never knew people could be so ignorantโ€ฆ and to their own family.โ€ Jin nodded to that and got into the truck to start driving away from the scene with Jungkook and Namjoon sitting in the back seats since luckily the truck had them.
โ€ขโ€ข โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” โ€ขโ€ขโ—โ€ขโ€ข โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” โ€ขโ€ข
You woke up in a room that was unknown to you and felt your eyes blinking into focus. The window showed it was night time but a lamp was lit up in your room. The whole house was quiet. You felt a bit chilly as you realized an ice pack was under your neck as you were laying and a cool washcloth was on your forehead. You slowly got up to sit up straight, putting the ice pack and washcloth aside. You jolted when you looked down and saw Jungkook sitting on the floor, holding your one hand and his head buried into the sheets of the bed, sleeping. You realized this was probably his home that he shared with his friends. You noticed all your stuff was unpacked and everything was set up. You saw a clock on the wall that read 2:00am.
Taking another look at Jungkook, you sighed and lightly moved your hand out of his which ended up waking him.
โ€œ(y/n)โ€ฆ?โ€ he asked in a sleepy-like voice, not being loud.
โ€œYeah, Iโ€™m awakeโ€ฆโ€ you whispered, โ€œplease go sleep now. Iโ€™m feeling better.โ€ More guilt is what you had felt at all this; him and his friends probably setting up your room and him staying here until he passed out. You felt so bad.
Jungkook took a look at your face while you werenโ€™t looking. He was fully waking up and sighed, knowing something was bothering you.
โ€œI knowโ€ฆโ€ he started and you looked at him, โ€œyou probably donโ€™t like this, I assume. I promise you, my friends will be nice to you. They know you are dealing with being sick. We like to joke around a lot but we will take it easy. I know you wonโ€™t be used to having seven guys around you at first but theyโ€™re really like family. They are good guys.โ€
The frown on your face growing as you felt super grateful but still the guilt was what was eating you alive right now. As if your anxiety picked up on it, you felt a spell of crying coming. You hated being so โ€˜difficult,โ€™ you thought. Slowly, tears were pouring out. Jungkook had you move slightly as he came to sit on your bed and be closer to you.
โ€œPlease (y/n), tell me what else I can do?โ€ Jungkook pleaded as he started wiping the tears off your face.
โ€œOh Jungkook, y-youโ€ฆโ€ hic, โ€œare doing so m-much for meโ€ hic, โ€œalready.โ€ You blurted out.
A light bulb went off in his head at your sentence, โ€œ(y/n)โ€ฆ do you by any chanceโ€ฆ feel guilty?โ€ You nodded and cried. He pulled you into a hug.
โ€œNo, no shhhโ€ he said so soothingly, โ€œplease donโ€™t cry. There is nothing for you to feel guilty about at all.โ€ He tried his best at soothing you down and vanishing your anxiety that came. You realized how much you depended on him. He was the same as your guardian angel. She was the only one who could calm you down and now Jungkook, had that same ability. His protective but affectionately warm embrace, the way he was wiping your tears off before. No other human being gave that secure feeling but you didnโ€™t want to depend on it because it felt wrong to do so. You wanted to be stronger. You didnโ€™t want Jungkook to miss out on life by helping you always.
When the crying stopped and you got a bit tired, he put a space between you two. The hug ending since it lasted for a few minutes but he was still close to you. His hands now on your shoulders.
โ€œDo you feel guilty, (y/n)?โ€ He sincerely asked, still keeping his voice down as his friends were sound asleep in other rooms and you followed in keeping a low volume.
You couldnโ€™t look at his eyes, hesitating but the words came out, โ€œโ€ฆI do.โ€
โ€œ(y/n), look at me pleaseโ€ฆโ€ He asked and you did as told, eyes red and puffy from tears. โ€œYou have nothing to feel guilty for. You did nothing wrong. My friends and I want to help you, it is no burden at all. They can adjust to things easily plus your battle wonโ€™t be forever. (y/n), you will get better. Okay?โ€ His words were too kind for your own good.
โ€œI just donโ€™t want you missing out on having a normal life. You or your friends that I donโ€™t even know yet. Itโ€™s gonna be annoyingโ€ฆ Iโ€™ll have medical flare ups and the adjusting is so slowโ€ฆ I donโ€™t think this will only take two months. Thatโ€™s too fast,โ€ the guilty words poured out as your eyes looked away again. โ€œIโ€™m the older one yet Iโ€™m like a baby basically right nowโ€ฆ youโ€™re always spending so much time with meโ€ฆ how can I not feel bad? Youโ€™re too nice!โ€ The truth finally and fully came out.
Jungkook cupped your cheeks with his hands and made you look into his eyes, you blushed at the contact.
โ€œYou think I would do this for anyone?โ€ He asked you and you had an instant answer, โ€œof courseโ€ฆ you always wanna help someone. But Iโ€™m just such a difficult caseโ€ฆ this is serious and deep-โ€
โ€œNo (y/n),โ€ he stopped you. โ€œitโ€™s true. I wanna help people sometimes especially when it comes to comforting them even if itโ€™s just a little bit of affection to cheer them up. But I wouldnโ€™t go all out like this for just anybody except my best friends of course.โ€
Confusion was all you felt because you truly believed Jungkook would be extremely devoted to anyone, even if they werenโ€™t friends. Jungkook constantly reminded you of that loyal puppy that you could get mad at but he would still love you with so much stupid love that heโ€™d never leave. Since you werenโ€™t speaking he decided to speak again.
โ€œ(y/n), when you said earlierโ€ฆ that I barely know youโ€ฆ does it bother you?โ€ He was slightly worried now at your silence. โ€œPlease, tell me what youโ€™re thinking. Donโ€™t be afraid.โ€
You inhaled a sharp breath slowly letting it out after a few seconds, โ€œnoโ€ฆ it doesnโ€™t actually bother meโ€ฆ Iโ€™m sorry, I was being pissy earlier but I just thinkโ€ฆ youโ€™re still too kind for your own good. I donโ€™t want it getting you into trouble or annoying situations. Youโ€™re nice to everyoneโ€ฆ it can backfire.โ€
โ€œ(y/n), I told you. I would not go this far for just anybody. So get that worry out of your head that you are bothering me. I have time that I spend with my friends and go out a little, we arenโ€™t glued to the hip even if I spend a lot of days with you.โ€
โ€˜But-โ€ you started and he put a finger on your lips to stop you. His finger on your lips felt so warm.
โ€œNo buts. If I have to keep reassuring you because of the anxiety then I will, every single day. It does not bother me at all, my friends will not get bothered either. They understand hardships better than others.โ€ He took his finger off your lips, letting the hand of it gently fall on your shoulder. โ€œI know youโ€™re extremely polite to people you donโ€™t know well and you are very strong in front of others. You do your best to hide your pain from the public. I know that just me and your family members have seen your worst moments but unlike them, it wonโ€™t bug me. Yeah, I might get worried sometimes if I donโ€™t catch onto things super quickly but in the end, I will realize.โ€ It truly amazed you how sincere and mature he can get. Despite having a very silly side where he can even bully his friends a bit, not in a mean way but just to tease them; he knew when someone needed him and did his absolute best. It only made your feelings for him grow stronger and frighten you deep down.
โ€œWhat about your friendsโ€ฆ and-โ€ Again, he didnโ€™t want the worries to start up so he had to break your sentence.
โ€œIf those sides slowly come out to my friends, they will be understanding. I promise you. My friends have struggled with anxiety before.โ€ You nodded and a took a leap of trust. โ€œAnd no, I am not sacrificing my โ€˜funโ€™ or whatever you think.โ€
He took a pause, a hand still cupping your cheek because he knew he wouldnโ€™t be able to hold in his feelings anymore. He just hoped it wouldnโ€™t turn everything to shit.
โ€œI wantย to do this, for you (y/n). Do you understand?โ€ he felt a bit shy, โ€œIโ€™m not doing it cause I feel the need to help you or pity you, I just simply wantโ€ฆ to do everything I can for you. Only youโ€ฆ not everybody in the world. Be it hard stuff or easy stuff, sad or happy. Iโ€ฆ just wantโ€ฆ to be with you. Do you get it nowโ€ฆ?โ€
Oblivious was too weak of a word to describe you, your awareness level was so bad but his words got your heart jumping, more than ever. You didnโ€™t know why but the way he cupped your cheek, stared at you with this charming eyes and the words he spilled; it just made your heart wanna explode.
โ€œYou reallyโ€ฆโ€ you started and you could see him suddenly hold in a breath, โ€œlove helping others donโ€™t you?โ€
At that, he let out a shaky breath and laughed. He actually let out a quick laugh and shook his head.
โ€œYouโ€™re reallyโ€ฆ way too cute and innocent.โ€ He said after his laugh. Suddenly he got serious and leaned in to press a kiss on your forehead. A long kiss at that which made you secretly swoon a bit.
โ€œJ-Jungkook?โ€ You asked and he pulled his lips away from your forehead. Instead he leaned his forehead onto yours now, with his eyes closed. You were certain your whole face was red now.
โ€œYouโ€™re gonna make me say it, wonโ€™t you dummy?โ€ You felt his warm breath slightly touch your face.
โ€œIโ€ฆ say what?โ€ You were so curious now and wondered if he could hear how rapidly your heart was going.
He opened his eyes in that moment, โ€œ(y/n), this timing is beyond wrong and I hope this doesnโ€™t ruin our friendship. I hate that I canโ€™t keep it to myself anymore. I donโ€™t expect anything back so please donโ€™t freak out when I confess thisโ€ฆโ€
Suddenly his words weighed in heavy on you, like a train coming to an abrupt halt on the tracks. You had no confidence but you couldnโ€™t help but think, โ€˜confessโ€ฆ? does heโ€ฆ oh my godโ€ฆ he canโ€™t,โ€™ your mind still going but Jungkook stopped it.
Still staring into your eyes and his heart now rapidly picking up the pace too, โ€œIโ€™m in love with you, (y/n).โ€ You let out quite the large gasp and his confession didnโ€™t stop. โ€œI know that sounds so weird and god, this is by far the worst timing in the history of timings but I felt something since day one. I could not stay away from you even if I wanted toโ€ฆ I know it hasnโ€™t been long at all but I feelโ€ฆ so many feelings for you, itโ€™s starting to drive me nuts. Itโ€™s like Iโ€™ve known you my whole life.โ€ His eyes closed now and you felt he was getting a bit shaky, definitely from nerves and possible guilt. Your heart soared however and you had to let him know what youโ€™ve been hiding.
โ€œJungkookie, open your eyes please.โ€ You whispered and he let one eye open.
โ€œIโ€™m sorry for this (y/n),โ€ he started pulling his head away from yours as both eyes were now open, expecting rejection but bracing himself for it. He did not want to burden you at your weakest moment. You grabbed his head though, cupping his cheeks now. His eyes widened.
โ€œYou idiotโ€ฆโ€ you uttered and when he went to say, โ€œwha-โ€ you had kissed him completely making his brain fry for a moment until he closed his eyes slowly and kissed you back. It was a soft and sweet gentle kiss but you felt him smiling against your lips which made you smile back. When he pulled away from the kiss first, his face slightly red; you spoke.
โ€œIโ€™m in love with you tooโ€ฆโ€ you admitted and the happiness he felt couldnโ€™t be explained. He pulled you into his usual hug and started planting kisses on the top of your head.
โ€œI canโ€™t believe itโ€ฆโ€ he barely whispered but you caught it. Somehow the kiss and confession managed to pull you out of any anxiety you felt today. It was strange and new but a good feeling. A surprise you never expected to happen; maybe the universe wanted to hand you something special. You were already thankful for Jungkook coming into your life, so grateful that you wanted to repay him after you got better, if the treatments worked. Now you realized how much you were not a burden to him at all, letting the guilt that was eating you, wash away like it never existed. You definitely understood it now. You understood that you were different, that Jungkook considered you his special someone. It was beyond cliche and never did you think a โ€˜love at first sightโ€™ type of story was gonna happen to you. Some people argue that time matters but sometimes, you can meet someone and just instantly connect with them. More than people you know for years even; it is real and it can happen. Just like it did for you and him. You thought of your gold urn necklace you wore and smiled, โ€˜thank you for sending him to me. I know you did.โ€™ You didnโ€™t see it but your urn necklace started glowing ever so lightly, almost as if your guardian angel was trying to say, โ€˜I only guided his path slightly towards yours. It was meant to be but youโ€™re welcome. Please keep that happiness, for me.โ€™
He stopped planting kisses on the top of your head and rested his chin on it now, slowly rubbing your back in small circles with one hand. โ€œI donโ€™t want to rush you into anything at all. We are going to focus on you getting better first. Everything else, will slowly come later okay?โ€
You told him, โ€œthat is completely okay with me and Jungkookie, thank you so much.โ€
โ€œFor what?โ€ He asked as you two were still in an embrace, bodies relaxing.
โ€œFor helping me and for loving me. You are sweetly devoted to me, my dear and I am truly so lucky. Thank you for wanting to wait first as well.โ€ Your words were sincere and he truly felt them, letting out a content sigh.
โ€œThank you also, (y/n)โ€ฆ for allowing me to be in your life and for loving me back. I promise, it will be worth it.โ€ Jungkook said and with that, you both had gotten sleepy and comfortably fell asleep together. Him holding you as you both slept peacefully and soundly.

This story was inspired by real events I went through. Iโ€™ve been sick for 7 years? Gone through 25 doctors. This story is old though! The first disease I was typing about was thyroid & mine switched from hyper to hypo due to it being viral, they concluded. My diagnosis has changed a lot as the doctors were confused always. Itโ€™s been hell. My doctor here was wrong about my stomach illness. Itโ€™s something else. I had tumors now unfortunately. But I am more accurately diagnosed now & going through a brutal treatment. I got the comment, โ€œthis is so inaccurate.โ€ You have no right commenting this & Iโ€™ll just block you. You donโ€™t get to invalidate my personal experiences that I shared to create this. Everyone has a different body & goes through illnesses differently. Itโ€™s true, my doctors were partly stupid and got half of it wrong but this is still a FANFIC. I just wanted to write a comfort fic for anyone dealing with illness. Something nice. I used real events (from a few yrs ago) as that helps me for writing. The love story is the major fictional part, obviously lol.

Piltover is the problem (*Arcane S1 spoilers*)
Throughout Arcane, Jinx is torn between Vi's "Powder", and Silco's "Jinx". Both love her, but neither accept who she is until Silco's final realistion where he switches from "Jinx is perfect" to "You're perfect."ย 
Something he was desperate to hear from Vander, who gives up on Silco, betrays him and leaves him for dead thinking he doesn't have the capacity to change. But Silco proves him wrong: "Is there anything so undoing as a daughter". Jinx did what Vander couldn't. Gave him something else to believe in. Focussed that anger and injustice.
And Silco did it. He paved the way for peace. And had a good argument for not handing in Jinx for the murder of a couple of guards when Piltover has been systematically murdering hundreds of children and adults alike in the mines etc.. Oh, but it wasn't them directly, so doesn't count? No. Their inaction was what pulled the trigger. And Jayce doesn't even consider being held accountable for the murder of that boy (again, irregardless of all the out-of-sight so out-of-mind deaths). If brokering peace is enough for him, it should be enough for Jinx and Silco too, particularly when Piltover's body count is so much higher.
When it comes down to it, Piltover are the worst kind of abuser. They're the government who acts all nice and shiny and righteous while quietly enforcing child labour, enabling destruction of the environment, gas-lighting anyone who speaks against them, and promoting an unsustainable and lavish lifestyle based on self-interest at the expense of others. The quiet, deep-rooted, insidious evil that points it's finger at any opposers screaming "look, big bad thing threatening our civilised way of life!"
And Vander and Vi are not the "good guys" either. They're another kind of toxic. The "normal" people with a saviour complex who don't understand/accept anyone different, and part of what pushed Silco and Jinx over the edge (because, yes, Silco and Jinx have crossed a line, there is no excusing that). Neither are the Firelights necessarily the "good guys". They are so focussed on infighting in Zaun that they seem to have forgotten about the root cause of their problems. You know, Piltover? The people who have been quietly murdering your families and loved ones for the past X number of years??? Jeez. Remember the bigger picture guys.
Now, we may have been robbed of the "Silco figuring out how to properly dad" in Season 2 as it doesn't fit into Riots universe (looking at you, AO3), but I can only hope it doesn't turn into the "Vi fixes Jinx" show. Jinx doesn't need fixing. She needs people to accept who she is, and access to mental health care so she can focus that brilliance into productive things. People can be not okay but still valid. Yes, Silco was a "bad guy", but he was also a product of Piltover's exploitation, suppression and abuse (hello? Can we address this please?), as well as Vander's betrayal. He was very deliberate in his cruelty. It all had a purpose. Zaun needed someone to step up as nothing else was working (hello Jinx).ย Was it the right thing to do? Morally, no. But was it the lesser evil that would overall result in the fewest deaths? Who knows.
The key takeaway for me is that Runeterra DESPERATELY needs access to good quality, free mental health services (as do we all). Also, the world could also come a long way if we a) try to be nicer to each other and b) take a closer look at those really in power ('cos there is a whole lotta grey out there).
But that's how I see it. And I think one of the great things this show has done has sparked these discussions on acceptance, equality, mental health etc. It's okay to not be okay. You're not alone, so just be nice to each other. We're all on this lump of space rock together, and for anyone out there who feels lost, I'm sending all the love and hugs in the universe๐Ÿ’œ
And yeah, watch this show. It's perfect.

AU where Diluc has a younger biological sibling, who somehow ends up in the Fatui's hands at a very young age (mum tsaritsa and daycare harbingers is real). He spends years of his life frustrated and determined to search for them, tho he doesn't even know who took them in the first place.
Then one day he crosses swords with this guy and when their mask falls he instantly connects the dots. But Sibling is confused cause? Who this mf? When did Dottore clone them?
Or- they know Diluc is their sibling, and were taught to despise him. Told stories of how they were hated for their powers or smthng. And so they want to chop chop his strawberry head off ๐Ÿ˜ณ
Bonus points if Sibling is a Jinx-like character (obviously for a reason, cause Jinx's mental health is no joke). Maybe haunted by some unknown curse casted upon them, who has Scarlet Witch-like powers or something that makes them HELLA strong (and half bonkers too).
More bonus points if it's a Childe x reader because I absolutely love the guy they both act like ruthless kids all the time, but then bring out what's left of their humanity and unconsciously heal whatever can be saved and mended.
More more bonus points if the other harbingers feel like family in their odd, alternative way. Especially if Signora doesn't drop-kick the child in self defence and Pantalone and Dottore secretly fight for the title of "sibling of the month". (That's the only fluff-crack you'd get ๐Ÿ’€)
There's three drabbles inspired by this, read the first one HERE.
Tumblr media
Yes I wrote this with precise ideas in my mind cause I was planning on doing a series I GUESS? I want platonic interactions with the other Harbingers, angst, madness, and have a playlist for this character already :)
Thoughts?

I loved your recent fic. If you are comfortable, would you mind doing a fluffy hurt comfort jinx x fem reader who is on the autistic spectrum. Super smart and one of the few people who can keep up with her but is constantly anxious about everything they do since like her they got insulted and bullied for being "off" the only person they feel totally comfy and safe around is her because she is the only person to treat her like she's not stupid and she utterly adores jinx for that.
Jinx with an autistic S/O
Tumblr media
Tags: Jinx x fem! Reader, authors note at the end
Disclaimer: I am in no way a mental health professional nor am I on the autistic spectrum so if there are any mistakes in what I've written, feel free to let me know.
When she started dating you, Jinx was overjoyed that she found someone so alike her, someone with similar wit and experiences. She felt so safe and comfortable around you, she felt like Powder again and she was over the moon when you told her you feel the same with her.
Is always there to comfort you whenever you have your lows. You're always there for her whenever she has episodes or feelings of self-doubt and although it takes a while, Jinx learns how to be there for you too. She often tries to distract you by making you laugh, but if that doesn't work she will hold you as long as you need her to.
This also goes for your anxiety. If you're feeling anxious about a particular event or something you said or did, she does her best to take your mind off of it. If she notices your fidgeting, Jinx interlocks your fingers with her own and holds onto you tightly so that you know you have her support. Is always there to reassure you that your worries aren't stupid or unwarranted, she understands that you can't help it and makes sure to dispel any remaining doubts or anxieties.
Janna forbid anyone even looks at you wrong, let alone tries to bully or insult you. This will make them into a perfect candidate for Jinx to try out her new weapons and bombs on. After she takes care of you and comforts you, she is after them and no one is going to stop her from taking her revenge. You're her sweetheart, her cute trinket and no one gets to say anything different.
Jinx loves your brain and your thought process. She'll often let you in on the stuff she's working on in hopes you'll have some good advice or ideas. She also encourages you to help her decorate her inventions with some cute doodles of your own! If you help her make a bomb, she jokingly calls it your lovechild.
All in all, Jinx loves you so very much and she is delighted by how well the two of you match and get along. She loves spending time with you, whether you're cuddling, talking or just enjoying each other's presence in silence. You're her beautiful, smart girl and she will protect your fragile heart with her life.
a/n: thank you for the request, dear anon! i hope it's alright that i wrote hcs instead of a fic and that you will enjoy reading them :)

can i request a uppermoons x female reader who is like jinx from arcane (you can watch arcane on netflix!!)
I have watched Arcane, good show, saying it as a person who never played LOL. It's one of those series where one minute leaves 3 hours discussion of a topic, and Jinx is wonderful in it. I love what they do with her, showing her struggles with her mental issues and the violent and political world around her, one having to accept that she is very hard to deal with as everyone is trying their best and failing at whatever they are doing.
Let's see if I can make her justice.
Tumblr media
Female Reader like Jinx (Arcane ver) interacting with the Uppermoons
Warnings: Small Hantengu, Cannibalism, Unhealthy relationships, Mental health issues and neglect, Bad coping mechanism, Implied polyamory (can be read with Hantengu and all the clones, some or just one), Excesive use of violence, Bullying, Mentioned non-character human death amd Slight angst.
Tumblr media
Gyutaro (ft. Daki):
If Gyutaro had a yen for every girl that got attached to him in an unhealthy manor creating a dynamic of co-dependance due several mental issues that remained unsolved because his over-protectiveness and his comforming nature, he would have two yen. Which isn't much, but it's weird it happened twice, specially with how ugly he is. But Daki doesn't mind and you seem to like his unsettling face and body. Gyutaro is not against taking care of you both, he doesn't mind and will gladly make his life about someone he loves for the sake of having any worth and purpose...
The problem, or one of them, at least, is that Daki nor you like Gyutaro taking care of the other. You both seem to want the older demon for yourselves, having him comforting you, making every tiny bit of ick and pain go away. "I was here first! I was with him before you! I will be here when you are gone! You are only a phase! Get lost and stop bothering my onii-chan!" "Shut up! If I am a phase then why are you so bratty about it! Just accept that your brother likes me better than you! Right Nichi-nichi?" You talk to a blade from a dead slayer that you turned into a snake toy, hearing what it has to say. Nichi-nichi agrees with you, "of course you are more likable than that Daki bitch", you knew it would agree. And yes, Nichi-nichi pronouns are it/them, thank you very much.
Gyutaro just puts himself in between you both, letting you grab one of his arm and pull as she grabs the other. "Enough! Ne, both of you! Stop insulting each other, ne." He scolds both of you, not minding as both of you play with his arms, Daki bringing his hand to her face to have Gyutaro comforting her. "Onii-chan! Onii-chan, Y/N was mean to me!" Really, he has no idea how to deal with you both. What is he even meant to do, last time he chose Daki as the winner of the argument you not only tried to harm her but harmed yourself in the process. And he can't just... not side his little sister. The worst part is that he doesn't want you to leave, and you don't want to leave neither.
"Please, ne.. stop fighting." He pulls both of you into a hug, letting his sister nuzzle against his stomach and you against his hack, using his hands to sooth both of you, sighing when you both relax enough to the point you are almost asleep. Seriously, what is he meant to do?
Gyokko:
"STOP STEALING MY MATERIALS, YOU CRAZY WOMAN!!" He screams on top of his lungs as you stole some bones and katanas, besides some paint and ceramics to build a 4 bladed gun with shark appereance... with his stuff. "What?" You ask him, seeing his horrified look at the materials spread on the floor, some even wasted, to make... to make.. "What even is that?" He ask, not really knowing what to say, feeling his head is going to explode. "You like him? His name is Fishbones! He is a fish, just like you! Say "hi" Fishbones! "Hello Gyokko, is very nice to meet ya"."
Fishbones... fishbones, of course. WHY THAT PIECE OF TRASH HAS A NAME! WHY ARE YOU- WHY?! "My head hurts." He really doesn't know how to deal with the insane, with you. He means, you are fun to be around, always helpful to kill people and fetch materials of all times, you are also very creative and a piece of joy... most of the time. Other times you just behave like a brat, and he would usually get rid of you by now but he guess it was his mistake to warm up to you.
"Hey! It's rude to ignore people, Mer-artist. Fishbones is sad now!" You move Fishbones so the "face" looks down for him to be able to express his sadness. Sometimes Gyokko is just so rude! He should thank the gods that he is funny and has the best materials for art, or else you wouldn't stick around. He makes a weird face, which you guess could also be a normal face since his face is weird, and you just tale Fishbones closer to you. "Don't worry, Fishbones. The ugly mermaid is just like that, he will warm up to you." You reach your ear closer to hear what he has to say as Gyokko decides to ignore you for now, and god that was funny, you laugh at Fishbone's voices. "Hahaha! Good one!"
"Why did I do this to myself?" He ascts as he sees you running away to play... he should have just killed you the day he met you. For real.
Hantengu + Clones:
Hantengu... stands you. You are not the safest person to be around and not only he feels intimidated by you, but also a bit afraid. You are always on something, so, while he appreciates you and likes you, he prefers leaving you to his clones most of the time, who can entertain you and keep up with you easier. That doesn't stop you from pulling him off his safe space, taking in your hand when he is small and running around with him. "AHHHH! EEEEAAK! LET ME GO, PLEASE LET ME GO!" You only laugh and keep running as Karaku laughs while Urogi flies over your head, playing with you. "I will catch you! I will catch you!" "Try to catch me! But I have Hantengu! I am the queen of the ga-" you are interrupted with Sekido and Aizetsu arriving.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING! CAREFUL WITH THE MAIN BODY!" He says angrily as he walks where you are, everyone in their places without moving, until Sekido tries to reach your arm, making you dodge and keep running. "Catch me if you can!" Everyone stays dumbfounded for a while as Hantengu begins to scream again, grabbing himself on your fingers as the anger clone starts to build up fury as Karaku and Urogi begin laughing. "This is so sad, Hantengu looks like he will throw up. You are all just torturing the poor thing." Knowing he won't be heard, the sad clone just steps aside as Sekido explodes. "Y/N YOU FUCKING-"
He was about to strike you with the power of his staff but Karaku stops him as Urogi keeps chasing you. "Hey, hey, Sekido. Don't get so angry or you will be the one hurting the main body!" All the arteries seem to want to explode with some veins in the anger clone body, who just looks at the pleasure clone before stabbing him "THEN YOU GO GET THEM, YOU LAZY FUCK!" Karaku laughs as he heals "Ok! Guys! I was told to play with ya all!" This, again, angers Sekido as you all start chasing each other, except for Aizetsu who was waiting for everyone to calm down before inserting himself in all the action.
You like this group, it's mostly cozy and there is always someone willing to pay attention to you, to take care of you, listen to you. There are no expectations, just fun, being able to be a chaotic as you want, and you get to prove who you are in battle. "Got you!" Urogi lands on top of you, the impulse making you throw Hantengu in the air, being catched by Aizetsu's spear. "I think that was enough for today. It's making me sad." "Hahaha, great catch you both!" "Thanks!" "So scary! So scary!" "Can't you all stop causing trouble?!" Ypu would not change them for nothing. "That was great! Who wants another game?" "YES!" "NO!"
Nakime:
Look, you are a lovely woman, Nakime thinks it's endearing how you make your own projects and build up little things, as chaotic as they mey turn. You have like 7 rooms and 5 hallways to destroy as you wish in her castle, where you create your tinckets. She is very patient with you, listening to your problems when you want to talk about them, which you barely do, and gives you space when you need it. Sure, she doesn't talk as much as you probably wished she did, and Nakime does have her responsibilities, she still doesn't understand...
What did she ever do to you to blow up her room?! Nakime doesn't need to sleep, but of course she keeps a place for herself, one with luxuries and things she would have liked to have as a human, and now the surfaces are all burned up with the place destroyed. Her books, dresses, extra biwas... all gone. She doesn't even know how to react, the biwa of her Blood Demon Art almost slipping through her fingers. No words come from her mouth as you stand there, also burned but not as harmed as you could be. "Hey! Haha... this is not what it looks like."
Nakime then comes out of her shock. "What happened?" She knows better than to word it as "what did you do" since... you are not stable, at all. She understands that, and she also understand you have different needs from her, that your way of interacting with the world is naturally... other. Nakime likes to think that her stability is something that you need, something that will be good for you, as long as she can keep everything under control, as long as you both are in the castle. "I... wanted to make you a gift... but it didn't work like I wanted." You are guilty, you know how much Nakime loved the things in her room and you ruined it.
No, what are you talking about? You didn't ruin anythin, you had good intentions, you wanted to be helpful. That is enough, righ? You don't need to feel guilty about it, right? Right?! Nakime takes a deep breath before putting her hands in the side of you face gently, you can feel her loong nails scare away the ick and noise of your self doubt as her palms, not soft nor harsh, comfort you. "Ok. How about you lead me to your rooms next time." She is angry, but she also understand that her anger will be harmful, so as long as she can control everything... it will be fine. "Ok, next time!" You rush to put aside any bad feeling, relying in Nakime's stability for it.
Akaza:
He has to take care of you, he understands... you are a woman, and you are sick. Not the typical sick that can be cured, not that it ever bothered, but a sick more like... like Douma, not that Akaza will ever admit it. You have problems, a lot of them, and most lead you to cause problems. He understands that you want to prove your worth at the same time you just want to be able to live your life, he really does... but you need to stop. You need a break. To try and heal and it's awful because he can't nurse you as he should-
"Pinkie-flake! What are you thinking about? Your frown can basically shout in my ear." He doesn't get startled even when you break his concentration as you jump over his back, wanting a bit of attention. Akaza is nice, too worried for it to be healthy for either of you, as far as you are concerned, but he served as the best source of comfort. Now, if only he dared to let you fight, then things would be much better. Still, you like him a lot, Akaza lets you rambles and pays attention to you, trying to find solutions to your problems and is always around, so you never feel lonely or abandoned. "C'mon! Smile for me!" You say as you move to sit on his lap.
It's an innocent gesture, unlike what anyone would think, and Akaza understand that you want, need, the physical contact as he moves his arms to hold you in a more stable way. "C'mon 'flakes, say something!" He only looks at you for a while, not having idea what to say, or to do, besides embrace you close. It's a bit scary to not know what to do with you, because you do need help even if you don't want to accept it. Help that he can't give. "I'm thinking." Is all the can mutter.
You are not fine with not being told what is happening, so you start to poke his cheek with your finger, making sounds effects when you do. Akaza still lets's you be, berely noticing when the finger is replaced by a knife, stabbing the side of his mouth, blade meeting his teeth and tongue with the metalic taste of blood and the weapon itself. He turns to see you as he heals. "Oops... my bad." You laugh nerviiusly as you put the knife away, and Akaza feels like he is about to cry at the loss. "It's ok. It doesn't really affect me." "like if affects on you", he doesn't say.
Douma:
"Y/N! Can I ask you a favor? I have a pretty lady in my room, could you go there and make me dinner while I finish speaking with a recent follower of mine?" You do, eager to prove that you can do it, eager to test a new item you made with materials Douma gave you, you want to show you appreciate it, that you can help. You just want to help. So you do, as much as you can, even if that includes killing an innocent woman. If you are affected by it or not, it's not your priority.
"Well, it's a bit messy here." He comments, you over did it, you can admit that, but it's not like Douma minds. On the contrary, he seems cheerful at it. "Not that I would left the place better, my killings are almost clean, but I am a messy eater." He sits besides you as you smirk and laugh "Oopsie." He only laughs with you as he picks up a piece of leg and takes a bite, blood splashing in his face, making you laugh louder. "So..." he starts after chewing a little, swallowing before he continues. "How was your day?"
You start to ramble about it, making jokes and comments, sharing the moments with Douma as he listens, or is very good pretending at the least. He is interactive, but a paranoid part wonders if it's because he grew up doing this, he knows how to react, but does he actually care? Still, you would not just stop coming to Douma, who is not only a good resource of... everything, honestly, but he is just great. He lets's you do as you want, makes sure to listen, you both can have fun together, gives you chances to prove yourself. Really, why would you dislike Douma? Because he is fake? New flash, not everyone is as honest as they like to pretend they are.
Douma finds you entertaining, odd and new, exciting. He understand that you are both weird, that you should have been in a way that was not the same results as expected. Something is wrong with you, just like something is wrong with every demon he has met, himself included. Maybe one day he can turn you into one, would be hell of a demon lady, might even reach the Kizuki system. But those are thoughts, right now he is pretending he can help you, when honestly, nobody can. "Oh, really? Tell me more."
Kokushibou:
Kokushibou doesn't know what to do with you, rambling and using objects as toys, he thinks you as childish. It doesn't help the fact that you are sensitive, getting upset quite easily, but hiding it most of the time. Not that he would like to be responsible for your feelings, he can barely deal with his, so both of you shutting them down seems good enough. "Shi-Bobo! How've ya been! Missed me?" Urg, and the nickname. Seriously, he doesn't even know if you mean it as "death-eye-eye" or "death-moo-moo", why are you calling him that?
"It's not appropriate to call me that." Is the only thing he says, ignoring his question asn you walk around him playfully, slowly and gracefully before suddenly jumping on hin, graving yourself by his shoulders as you put a knife in his throat. Is it even a nichirin one? "C'mon, give a girl a break. It's always "blah blah blah rules! Blah blah etiquette! Blah bla blo-bloring-boring!" Say something fun for once!" His answer? Silence.
"Urg! You are so boring." You put the knife away, losing interest due the lack of reaction. Is it really too much to want something to happen? Something fun! A distraction from... ya know... everything. You really like Kokushibou, he is pretty and elegant, sometimes shy, which makes him easy to mess with. Other times he is just stoic, reacting at nothing, so you always have different buttons to press. So you move around him again before suddenly cutting one leg of his hakama pants and a little bit os skin. He didn't dodge due the surprise and the fact you didn't really hurt him... well, his pride is hurt with a leg exposed.
"What is wrong with you?!" He almost screams, almost, as he raises his voice and face becomes red ah he looks bashed and angry at you at the same time, you didn't know that mix was possible before him. "Awww. Is Shi-Bobo embarrased that his leg got exposed? Is he afraid to be grabbed by it? Big strong demon not liking the attention?" He reaches his sword, genuinely questioning if he should draw it out and slain you. He takes a few breaths, calming down, clearly flustered as you keep talking, not bothering with the fact he is doing his best to ignore you, but then.... "Run or I will end you." Some seconds of silence before you laugh and start running. "Sure, let's play tag! You're it!" He really doesn't know why he bothers to try with you. Really.

Jinxes are bounted to bad luck.
Bakugou x Fem!Reader
Summary: The alternate ending!!
โ˜…โ˜ฝA/N: I havenโ€™t wrote anything sad in a long~ time so sure!! ENJOY!!
Contents: ANGST
Tumblr media
ยท โ€ข โ€”โ€“ ู  โœก ู  โ€”โ€“ โ€ข ยท
โ€œShit- Iโ€™m always a jinx so I guess I deserve this fate.โ€ She chuckled. Katsuki couldnโ€™t help but tear up a bit. He quickly grabbed her to try to pick her up to bring her to the hospitalโ€“ But she stopped him. โ€œYou wonโ€™t be fast enough.โ€ She protested. โ€œI will be fast enough!โ€ Bakugou protested back, picking her up and ran as fast as he could to bring her to the hospital.
Just as they were a mile away from the hospital, someone yelled from a distance. โ€œITโ€™S NOT OVER YET!โ€ Bakugou didnโ€™t look but he knew it was a member from the LOV. Shigaraki was furious that he lost his little play toy. Using two of his fingers, he grabbed a crystal that was long ago made by Y/N. He smashed it to the ground, inches away from Y/N and Katsuki.
Bakugou managed to blast away before it exploded, creating a hole in the cityโ€™s ground but only caused the knife to slip even deeper by the impact. โ€œYouโ€™ll make it.โ€ He promised to the girl who had fallen unconscious, running as fast as he could.
โญ’โ˜†โ”โ”โ”โ”โ˜†โญ’
Bakugou paced the hospital floor with a worried pace, his hands crossed. Aizawa had come to the hospital from the public interview after being informed about his student who was captured by the LOV.
โ€œBakugou.โ€ He called out, the boy turned his head with his eyes wide with surprise. โ€œTeacherโ€“โ€ Bakugou stopped in his tracks and walked up to Aizawa. โ€œCan you talk to them? Theyโ€™re not telling me any shit about Y/N.โ€ He spoke in an annoyed tone. Aizawa nodded and walked up to a nurse who was walking away from Y/Nโ€™s room. Bakugou finally sat down and waited, his leg shaking up and down with his arms crossed against his chest.
His mind was flooded with worries. Having patience is a privilege that Katsuki Bakugou wasnโ€™t gifted to have.
Why is this happening?
What would happen if he didnโ€™t do what he did in middle school?
What will happen to her if she does survive? Can she be a hero or is she going to jail?
Millions of theories and thoughts flooded his head. You could see the worried look on his face if you were there, he was shaken with anxiety.
Just before Katsuki stood up to ask the doctor, the doctor had already walked up to the boy. โ€œWhat happened? Is she okay?โ€ He hurriedly asked. The doctor looked sad? Upset? Upset about what? Katsuki started to worry more from the look the doctor had. He didnโ€™t want to hear what he has to say, what if itโ€™s bad? What if she died? The wounds on her body weren't so bad, right?
โ€œThe wounds on her body were very bad, especially her old ones. The old ones seemed to have made a great impact in her physical health and maybe even more in her mental health. The wound on her back is really deep in there and even managed to damage her heart. Iโ€™m afraid you were too late..โ€ The world around Bakugou seemed to stop in time. โ€˜Too late? No..No, no, no, no, no, this canโ€™t be happening! I promise sheโ€™ll be fine! I promise that sheโ€™ll be able to be a hero!โ€™ The doctor could see the panicked and worried look on Katsuki who was breathing quite heavily.
โ€œWhat.. What do you mean by that..?โ€ Katsuki asked in a soft tone. The doctor sighed and mustered up the courage to tell the boy and said, โ€œIโ€™m afraid sheโ€™s gone.. Iโ€™m sorry for your loss.โ€ And bowed down in respect.
Something happened next and it was shocking to those who knew Katsuki Bakugou. He cried, sobbing even. He practically fell to the ground and started to sob with his hand in his chest. He couldโ€™ve done something! He couldโ€™ve been faster! Why didnโ€™t he stop her from taking the hit! Why, why, why?!
Why canโ€™t he be a hero, just for her?
ยท โ€ข โ€”โ€“ ู  โœก ู  โ€”โ€“ โ€ข ยท
โ˜…โ˜ฝA/N: Iโ€™m sorry it was short! I wasnโ€™t really sure where I was going with this one but I hope you all enjoyed it!

Soft Yandere!Goddess!Vi x Needy!Priestess!Reader
Tumblr media
Warnings: Soft Yandere!Vi, implied murder, sex as a reward, needy reader, praise kink, aphrodisiac-like fluids, addictive sex, Vi is a drug to you, fingering, cunnilingus (Vi receiving), thigh riding, possessive Vi, going to extreme lengths to keep a person by your side
Summary: Youโ€™re Violetโ€™s Priestess and you do everything she asks of you with great enthusiasm. Youโ€™re needy for her praise, itโ€™s like a drug to you and sheโ€™s more than willing to give you what you want when you do a good job.
Author Note: This is dark. It doesnโ€™t seem like it at first but itโ€™s dark.
Tumblr media
You hum to yourself as you walk through the backstage area of the boxing arena. Your friends are most likely wondering where you ran off to and panicking because the match is starting soon. But, you have a job to do. You internally groan when you see a bodyguard standing outside of the room you need to get into. โ€˜Why does she need a bodyguard this time? Did something happen to her in the past few weeks?โ€™ You lower your hood as you approach, pulling out your ID so you don't spend too much time with this woman. You make eye contact with the bodyguard and she narrows her eyes at you.
โ€œCan I help you?โ€ The bodyguard crosses her arms.
โ€œIโ€™m Camilaโ€™s sponsor, Y/n.โ€ You give her your ID, โ€œSheโ€™s expecting me.โ€ The woman stares at you for a moment, probably trying to intimidate you, before looking at the card. She hands it back to you and knocks on the door, โ€œCamila, your sponsor is here.โ€ You stare each other down until the door opens. You grin when you see Camila, raising a brow at the red streaks through her black hair. Sheโ€™s quick to yank you into the room and slam the door shut behind you. You grunt as your back hits the wall and her mouth is on yours before you can say anything. Your eyes widen in surprise but you kiss her back even if you were unsure about it.
โ€œWhat was that for?โ€ You question as she gives you a wide smile.
โ€œThat was for paying for my college bill!โ€ Camila hugs you, โ€œThank you so much, Y/n! I was stressing out about paying for them.โ€
โ€œIโ€™ve been supporting you from the moment you stepped into my bossโ€™ gym. She saw something in you and we want to make sure youโ€™re able to follow your dreams.โ€ You smile, looking around the room, โ€œWeโ€™re all anticipating your win against Eleanor tonight.โ€
โ€œI-Iโ€™m nervous.โ€ Camila sighs, leaning against her desk, โ€œEleanor is very skilled. My wins against the other girls took a lot but I donโ€™t know if I can do this.โ€
โ€œCam.โ€ You grab her hands, โ€œYouโ€™ve been practicing. Youโ€™ve kept going despite everything going on with your family and your mental health. You can do this, and thereโ€™s no shame in losing. Just go out there and do your best, and victory will come.โ€ You kiss her forehead, feeling the warmth of your patronโ€™s magic flow through you.
โ€œYouโ€™re right. Thank you.โ€ Camila squeezes your hands, โ€œWill you be watching?โ€
โ€œFront row.โ€ You nod, โ€œI wouldnโ€™t miss your final match for the seasonโ€ฆ but whatโ€™s with the bodyguard?โ€
โ€œSomeone threatened to kill me.โ€ Camila sighs heavily and you cross your arms, โ€œWith the arena being packed, they assume that itโ€™ll be attempted tonight.โ€
โ€œWell, we canโ€™t have that, hm? You worry about winning your match, okay?โ€ You head for the door, a new goal in mind. โ€˜My Goddess wouldnโ€™t want her champion to die, so Iโ€™ll have to take care of the threat. My mission after all is to make sure Camila wins, if she doesnโ€™t thatโ€™ll throw off whatโ€™s supposed to happen.โ€™
โ€œWait. What are you going to do?โ€ Camila grabs your wrist, halting you. The symbol of your patron shimmers on her cheek before fading.
โ€œNothing, Iโ€™m heading back out to my friends before they have a meltdown.โ€ You flash her a smile and she nods. โ€˜I canโ€™t let anyone hurt this girl. The threats are most likely something of Jinxโ€™s doing. I knew I spotted Lisa but that makes my job more interesting. I wonder what her mission was this time around?โ€™ Your eyes scan the people around you, feeling the pull of the sisterโ€™s magic leading you to your target. You smile brightly when you spot a man ducking into the restroom, the smokey aura of Jinxโ€™s curse wafting off of him. โ€˜I can deal with this one myself.โ€™ You crack your knuckles, excitement rushing through you.
Tumblr media
The sound of your heels clicking against the marble floor is a pleasant sound to your ears. Returning to the Temple of the Isthmus after a successful mission the night before always puts you in a very good mood. So you were a little extra relaxed this morning as you enter the atrium. The rest of the Priestesses are still arriving, but the ones that are here sit around the water fountain. You spot Lisa sitting down by herself and head over to her. She notices you last minute and jumps from her seat to hug you.
โ€œYou did amazing last night!โ€ Lisa grins at you, โ€œI was worried I wouldnโ€™t complete my mission for a moment, but I know I should never doubt you. You always succeed and I always fail.โ€ She playfully punches your shoulder.
โ€œThatโ€™s what happens when you pledge yourself to the Goddesses of Balance.โ€ You wink at her. You and Lisa work closely together since your Goddesses are sisters. You pledged yourself to the Goddess Violet who holds dominion over the lighter half of balance. The specific title she claims is Goddess of Victory, Perseverance, and Strength. You felt drawn to her during your Oath after all of the struggles you went through in life. When the time came to choose, you were confused when Vi and Jinx accepted your pledge for her. It was something the sisters did to make sure the Priestess could work with both of them.
Your dedication to your Goddess is precious to you. She encouraged your good work, made you feel valued by her and you found yourself craving her praise. Every job that she gave you was completed to perfection so she would praise you. You made sure there was no way for it to go wrong, and sometimes that involved getting your hands dirty. It never stopped you from earning her praise, nothing did.
After the morning meeting, you and Lisa made your way to the sistersโ€™ area. They shared one main chamber that was split in half and it branched off into their personal chambers. It was another thing that represented the sistersโ€™ closeness. You and Lisa say goodbye to each other, both grinning as you know your respective Goddess will be rewarding you for your hard work. You slip into Viโ€™s private chambers, marveling at the new designs on the walls. She loved to change how the art on the walls looked and today they had more of a red tone to them, showing that she was in a very good mood.
โ€œMy Goddess?โ€ You call out, walking towards the leather couch and kneeling by it. You feel a hand on your head and you tilt it back to see Vi standing over you in all of her glory. Your breathing catches as you gaze at her, marveled by the breathtaking woman.
โ€œHello, my sweet.โ€ Vi smiles, sitting in front of you and spreading her legs, โ€œWhat do you have for me this morning?โ€ You have to stop your gaze from flicking down to look at the spot between her legs. She was truly a sight to behold with her pink hair and grey dress. With her legs opened, the fabric rose to expose a healthy amount of skin that you wanted to press your lips to. Your heart started racing in your chest at this small movement. She could lick her lips and youโ€™d yearn to taste them. Vi took up your mind with ease, consuming all thoughts you had when it came to her. You admire her greatly, and - dare you say - love her, too.
โ€œI completed my mission last night.โ€ You swallow, โ€œIt was a success.โ€
โ€œLetโ€™s see, shall we?โ€ Vi hums, waving her hand and a bunch of news headlines appear.
โ€œCamila, the youngest boxing champion, wins. A man was found dead outside of the boxing stadium, tied to the threats on Camilaโ€™s life. Eleanor was charged with a failed murder attempt after proof was found of her hiring the manโ€ฆ Wow. Would you look at thatโ€ฆโ€ Vi zooms in on the murder scene, peering at you from behind her magic, โ€œHeโ€™s unrecognizable, peaches. They could only figure out who it was from his identification.โ€
โ€œIs that not to your li-?!โ€ Your eyes widen as Vi slips her fingers into your mouth, pressing down onto your tongue. You had to fight to urge to suck on them, her skin against your tongue is like tasting the sweetest honey.
โ€œShhhh. Youโ€™ve made me proud, sweets. I couldnโ€™t have done better myself. Youโ€™ve been so good to me, havenโ€™t you? You listen to everything I tell you to do and you donโ€™t question me. Not once.โ€ You blush as her fingers rub along your tongue, โ€œYou can suck them. I know youโ€™re tempted to.โ€ She purrs, eyes trained on your face. You didnโ€™t need to be told twice. Your tongue greedily twirls around her fingers, suckling the sweet taste off of them. There was something you found addicting about her and her sweet taste could be the reason why. It wasnโ€™t just her skin, but her lips, her pussy, her everything. Sweet and addictive. You wanted more. You needed more.
โ€œAh, ah.โ€ Vi presses down on your tongue, taking her fingers from your mouth, โ€œIf youโ€™re so eager, you can put that mouth somewhere else.โ€ You hold your breath as she removes her dress, slides her underwear off, and goes back to her position on the couch. You were practically salivating at the sight, patiently waiting for her permission to touch her.
โ€œYouโ€™re such a good girl.โ€ Vi runs a hand through your hair before she grabs it and guides your body forward, โ€œGood girls get rewards.โ€ You can feel the heat radiating from her core, her scent making your panties stick to you as she holds your face against her. Your arms wrap around her strong thighs as you lick her slit, desperately trying to hold yourself back. If you rushed to devour the sweet nectar offered to you, youโ€™d be begging her for another taste tomorrow and Vi loved to tease you about it.
โ€œYou wasted it yesterday, peaches. You donโ€™t get it until you please me, you know that. If I gave it to you every time you asked, it wouldnโ€™t be a reward, now would it? I understand, I do, shhh donโ€™t cry. Iโ€™m not a cruel Goddess, you can kiss me to ease the cravings.โ€
You dip your tongue between her folds, getting a small whimper as you pull it out. Your grip on her thighs tightens when you canโ€™t take it anymore. You pull back slightly to take a deep breath, your tongue tingling from where it entered her.
โ€œForgive me.โ€ You whisper, lovingly kissing her inner thigh, โ€œI simply cannot restrain myself anymore, My Goddess.โ€ You know she can hear you from how she tightens her grip on your hair. She looked forward to this as much as you did, which is why you vowed to never let her down.
You slip your tongue into her, moaning at the overwhelmingly delicious taste. You enthusiastically run your tongue over her soft walls, listening closely to the sounds sheโ€™s making. At first, itโ€™s little pants that slowly build into restrained groans. It made you feel frustrated that Vi was holding back her moans. It didnโ€™t feel right to be relishing in your reward when she wasnโ€™t completely relaxing. So, you worked harder.
You flattened out your tongue, making a point to focus on her g-spot and that earns you a jerk of her hips, โ€œAhhh! Sweets, thatโ€™s too much!โ€ Vi moans. A thrill goes through you when you hear her and you donโ€™t stop. The longer you continue, the more tingly your body starts to feel. It works its way down your body from your head to your toes, but it is more concentrated between your legs. Your pussy burned and you could feel your wetness on the inside of your thighs although you were wearing panties.
By the time you could feel Viโ€™s walls fluttering against your tongue, you felt like you were too hot and up in the clouds. She grinds her cunt against your lips as she cums - moaning your name - and makes whatever youโ€™re unable to lap up run down your chin.
Youโ€™re panting as you back away, falling onto your bottom, as a wave of heat flows through you. Itโ€™s got you tugging off your dress and underwear to try and relieve some of the heat. If anything, it makes it worse as the cold air brushes your most sensitive areas.
โ€œMy Goddess.โ€ You practically sob with need, โ€œPlease touch me, please. No one but you can satiate this pain.โ€
โ€œYou poor thing.โ€ Vi coos, โ€œSo needy for me that youโ€™re burning up.โ€ Youโ€™re lifted from the floor and guided to straddle Viโ€™s thigh. The moment you feel her pressed against your pussy, youโ€™re grinding down. Your wet cunt makes her thigh slick and easy to rut against.
โ€œThank you!โ€ You whimper, tucking your face in her neck, โ€œThank you.โ€
โ€œDonโ€™t thank me, Y/n. Youโ€™ve been a good girl. Killing and blessing people for me to make my job easier.โ€ Vi kisses your temple, hands on your hips to help you drag yourself along, โ€œYou deserve to be properly rewardedโ€ฆ What do you want the most, sweets?โ€
โ€œYou.โ€ You gasp out, your mind a haze, โ€œYou, My Goddess! This. You touching me. Pleasuring you.โ€
โ€œThis?โ€ Vi grinds her thigh into you making you moan loudly, furiously nodding your head.
โ€œYes! Yes! That!โ€ You say airily, the pleasure taking over.
โ€œLet me make it better for you, okay?โ€ Vi whispers lovingly, โ€œYouโ€™ll love this. I promise.โ€ She lifts you off of her thigh, placing you on her lap and spreading your legs with hers. You were about to whine at the loss of contact when her hand settled between your legs. You moan as she buries three fingers into you, pressing her palm to your clit. Her other hand plays with your nipples, squeezing and kneading your breasts in between.
โ€œIs that better, darling?โ€ Vi asks in concern, โ€œDoes this feel good to you?โ€ You thought the questions mustโ€™ve been rhetorical because it felt amazing. You couldnโ€™t respond, too focused on the pleasure to process it. You were grinding against her hand, desperately trying to fuck yourself on her fingers, and feeling that knot tighten.
Vi continued to praise you and whisper sweet nothings into your ear. You were her little worker. Her good girl. Her priestess. Her property. Hers. And it was her name that you screamed as your orgasm burst, with her fingers still buried in you. That gave Vi an extreme feeling of satisfaction and love.
โ€œThatโ€™s my girl.โ€ Vi hums, pulling you down on top of her as she lays on the couch. She strokes your hair as you try to steady your breathing. The act helps to calm you down and relax.
โ€œThank you.โ€ You breathe out, โ€œThank you, My Goddess.โ€ Viโ€™s arms tighten around you, a little too tight, as she chuckles.
โ€œMy sweet Priestess, youโ€™re too good to me. So devoted to your Goddess that you donโ€™t even notice how madly in love I am with you.โ€ Vi lifts your head so she can stare into your eyes, โ€œMy own body is a drug to keep you wanting me and you donโ€™t even realize it. I never want you to lose your love for me, do you understand, Y/n? I will keep you wanting me so I have your love.โ€
โ€œI could never lose my love for you.โ€ Your eyes tear up, devastated to hear those words come from your Goddess, โ€œWhy would you even think so, Vi? Have I not proven my love?โ€
โ€œSsshhh, peaches. I didnโ€™t mean it that way.โ€ Vi kisses your forehead, โ€œI know youโ€™d never lose your love for me. I just want you to need me. I want you to come to me for everything. I want to be the only one you desire. I will be your addiction forever, Y/n.โ€
โ€œForever?โ€ Your eyes widen, your mind becoming clearer and processing her words.
โ€œMmm, did you think Iโ€™d let you die?โ€ Vi chuckles, โ€œNo. No, youโ€™re my Priestess. The only one I want.โ€ Her grip gets tighter and breathing gets a bit harder.
โ€œM-My Goddess, d-did you say that you drug me?โ€ You question in shock.
โ€œDrug? No. No, Iโ€™d never do that to you. I love you, my Priestess.โ€ Vi smiles fondly and kisses you. You find yourself slipping back into the haze as your body starts to burn with need, โ€œMy body is justโ€ฆ addictive to you. Youโ€™re a mortal getting a taste of a Goddess. From the first moment I kissed you, youโ€™ll never make it more than a few days without another taste.โ€ Your eyes widen, lips parting to say something, but her lips are on yours again as she flips you onto the couch.
โ€œW-what do you mean?โ€ You squeak.
โ€œIโ€™m your belladonna.โ€ Vi caresses your face, โ€œI taste sweet to you, donโ€™t I? Now that youโ€™ve had a taste of me, youโ€™ll die without me, Y/n. Does that change how you feel about me?โ€
โ€œNo. No, it doesnโ€™t.โ€ You shake your head, โ€œI donโ€™t care if Iโ€™m tied to you forever. I swore to you, Vi. You can do whatever you wish to me. I love you.โ€ Vi roughly makes out with you, grinding her knee against you in the process.
โ€œI love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.โ€ Vi chants, kissing you over and over again, โ€œYouโ€™re never leaving me. Never.โ€

*~ Lavender Honey ~*
A Jinx x Reader fanfic! MODERN AU!!!
Tumblr media
*~ Chapter 1 ~*
Y/N Journal Entry
Everyday was the same it sucked, going to school was at least enjoyable being in classes and learning stuff but people constantly talked and not many of the teachers gave a shit to teach well. Of course class had its hiccups. This one girl in my Physics class would constantly bother me. She sat right next to me and all she would do is try to get under my skin! I canโ€™t stand her sheโ€™s so pretty annoying I wish she could just leave me alone! If she focused maybe then she wouldnโ€™t be held back. She calls herself Jinx itโ€™s a stupid name too! But who cares I
Y/N POV
โ€œHey! What the hell give that back!โ€ Jinx grabbed my small journal out of my hands and started looking at it. She started to read each entry as I struggled to grab the book. The teacher noticed this and walked over to us.
โ€œIs there going to be a problem with this seating arrangement here?โ€ He spoke quietly to not cause a scene while the rest of the class took notes. โ€œNo sir!โ€ Jinx put the book down and wrapped an arm around me, acting like we were the best of friends or something..
Mr. Fiensinger nodded and said something else but I was too annoyed to listen. When he left I shoved her off of me and scolded her as quietly as I could.
โ€œWhat is your deal? This is my private stuff!โ€
She only snickered it made me even more furious than I already was. I grabbed the journal and shoved it into my bag. The rest of class I tried to ignore her but like always she was throwing papers, tapping my desk, kicking my feet, or doodling on the sides of MY notes. Finally the bell rang and I was time for lunch.
I often spent lunch alone in my own secluded area. Exploring around the school was great and I found the perfect place to study. An old supply closet that most kids think is locked, well most kids donโ€™t know itโ€™s there! It has a window to sit in and is completely empty. Itโ€™s so secluded no one even notices me go in, itโ€™s perfect!
I set my stuff down and start reading sitting in the dusty sill and watching the kids outside for moments. All in their friend groups laughing and talking. Sometimes I felt envious of that, a lot of times actually. Friends are too much of a distraction.
I finished my work with ease but there were 20 minutes left of lunch, always the worst moments. Not knowing what to do really sitting and sketching seemed fine but after a few minutes it gets boring. I donโ€™t go on my phone often I canโ€™t have any social media or anything because Mom says itโ€™s too distracting for me. So all I can do is sit, and watch. I donโ€™t even notice the door open.
Jinxโ€™s POV
I ate lunch with my brothers and best friend Ekko. Itโ€™s always great to watch all the other bums at this school being stupid together! But it gets so boring sitting here. Teachers often keep much closer eye on me since last years fiasco of me spray painting a giant monkey on the side of the school! Cops werenโ€™t involved but now I have to repeat this year partly due to that and cause my grades plummeted. That isnโ€™t my fault! Itโ€™s the stupid teachers for making their classes so boring!!
For a moment I could have sworn I saw someone in the window when I looked up at the building. Sitting on the edge of it reading a book. It looked a lot like Y/N.. It was! Haha so thatโ€™s where you go during lunch! Finally something I can do that isnโ€™t boring.
โ€œIโ€™ll be back! Maybe HAHAโ€
Ekko, Claggor, and Mylo didnโ€™t care too much really. Theyโ€™re used to me running off! Now to find that room theyโ€™re in. I made sure to keep a mental note of where the window is but to be honest I had no clue where that is, and I know every nook and cranny of the school. No matter Iโ€™ll find it!
It felt almost useless I couldnโ€™t find them! Ugh, this sucks I really like messing with them, Iโ€™m not even sure why though. They seem cool to hang around but thatโ€™s stupid to say theyโ€™re a dork. I walked past the same area all that was there was an old class the put the health room in, a supply closet thatโ€™s always locked, and an emergency exit. Although, what if it isnโ€™t locked. Iโ€™ve tried to before and it was locked shut! Almost glued! Maybe she managed to get in. I eagerly turn the knob and go my surprise it glides open with ease. And who do I see sitting there staring out the window, almost longingly.
โ€œY/N?โ€
Tumblr media

The Rookie: Echoes of the Past
Synopsis: From oldest rookie to T.O., John Nolan takes on training the newest rookie, Officer Ellie Moore. In her first 6 months on the force, an unresolved case catches up to her, putting her survival to the ultimate test. A tale of mentorship, resilience, and facing one's demons head-on.
Character bio: Ellie Moore is 29 years old. Fresh out of the academy. Auburn/Ginger hair color, blue eyes. 5ft 3in, average weight, but weighs more than she would prefer (no lack of trying, but health issues hinder). Comes from a single mother and a younger brother. Doesnโ€™t normally delve into her past with others, unless its warranted. Ellie is compassionate and empathetic but can also be closed off at times. Secretly deals with minor to mild depression, depending on situation (would never tell anybody in fear of being kicked out of LAPD). She considers Lucy, Nyla and Angela good friends, but even more so Nolan. She views Nolan not only as a T.O. but sees him as a father figure as well at times. Ellie was diagnosed as a carrier of Fragile-X Syndrome and is afraid of having children in the future in fears of passing on the gene.
Itโ€™s a sunny day in Los Angeles as Ellie heads to work. Windows down, music on, and volume up, the lyrics of โ€œCanโ€™t Take Me Anywhereโ€ by Sam Tinnesz blare as she pulls into the station.
Parking in her usual spot, she rolls up her windows. Theyโ€™re forecasting rain during her shift, and she'll be damned if she has to deal with wet seats again. In her side mirror, she notices Chen and Nolan talking at the station entrance and wonders if they saw her arrive. Getting out and locking her vehicle, she swings her bookbag straps over her arms and hurries to catch up with the others.
โ€œAh, good morning, Ellie,โ€ Nolan greets her with a warm smile. โ€œHowโ€™s my favorite rookie doing?โ€
โ€œTired. Apparently the 3 cups of coffee Iโ€™ve had this morning haven't counteracted the effects of the Benadryl I wound up taking last night. So, Iโ€™m hoping today goes like a breeze.โ€
โ€œWell, I hate to be negative, but you probably just jinxed it,โ€ Lucy grins.
Ellie rolls her eyes, chuckling, โ€œYeah, well, Iโ€™ll make sure to let Nell know that you're hoping for all the big and bad today, Chen.โ€
โ€œDonโ€™t you dare! Anyways, Iโ€™ll see you guys at roll call. Thorsen apparently had a date last night, and Iโ€™m curious about how it went.โ€ Lucy heads for the doors and goes inside. Ellie and John watch her hurry inside."
โ€œDid you have an allergic reaction to something last night?โ€ Nolan asked, his concern evident.
โ€œHuh? No. Why are you asking?โ€ The question caught Ellie off guard.
โ€œYou mentioned taking Benadryl last night. Most people use it for allergic reactions. I was just curious about what you might be allergic to. It might be something worth knowing for the future as your T.O.โ€
โ€œOh,โ€ Ellie paused, unsure how to respond, โ€œno, Iโ€™ve just been having a hard time sleeping the last few days. I donโ€™t do it often, usually only when Iโ€™ve had enough of struggling.โ€
โ€œIs there something causing the issue?โ€
โ€œUm,โ€ she pauses again, โ€œI, uh... it just happens occasionally. It wonโ€™t affect my work, I promise. Iโ€™ll, uh, see you in roll call.โ€ Ellie says, making an abrupt move for the doors, leaving John watching her as she walks away.
Nolan decides to give her a moment to reach the elevators and get to their floor before heading inside himself. He makes a mental note to talk to her during patrol.
Tumblr media
Taking her seat up front with Thorsen and the other rookie, whom she was sure would wash out within the week, Ellie observed as the more senior officers filed in.
โ€œSo, Lucy said you had a date last night. How did that go?โ€
โ€œNot bad. We went to dinner and sat in my car, talking for a few hours. Natalie seems really nice, and she wants to go out again this weekend,โ€ Aaron replied with a smile, his excitement evident as he started building a better life for himself. Most of the negativity surrounding Patrickโ€™s death and the documentary drama had faded away, allowing him to rebuild and rebrand himself for the better.
โ€œGood. I know you've been looking forward to it. I'm glad it went well.โ€
โ€œOh yeah. Nat and I are similar, yet so different in many ways. I'm hopeful. Of course, it's only been one date so far, so who knows? I'm curious to see where it goes.โ€
Ellie patted Aaron on the shoulder, saying, โ€œSo am I, dude. Keep me updated. Seriously.โ€
Thorsen smiled and added, โ€œYou know I will. So, how was your evening? Any fancy dates on your calendar?โ€
Chuckling, Ellie shook her head. โ€œYou know damn well there aren't any. Which is perfectly fine with me. I'm only six months into training; I need to stay focused to get through the rest of this twelve-month torture with Nolan.โ€ She said the last part loudly enough for John to hear, turning in her seat and smiling to show she was joking.
โ€œYou've got this, Moore. Hell, from what people say, you're Nolan 2.0. I'd say you've got nothing to worry about.โ€
Ellie blushed, not entirely used to compliments, and said, โ€œThanks, dude. I appreciate it.โ€
Lucy walked in, giving Ellie and Aaron a warm smile before taking the empty seat next to Nolan.
โ€œHey, can I ask you something before we head out on patrol?โ€ John asked Lucy quietly.
โ€œOf course,โ€ she said, looking at him with concern. โ€œIs everything okay?โ€
โ€œI think so. I'll talk to you after roll call.โ€
Lucy nodded.
โ€œAlright, everybody, good morning,โ€ Sergeant Grey's deep voice boomed as he walked in. โ€œFor once, the night shift left us with no follow-up cases. So, business as usual. Nolan and Moore, Chen and Thorsen. Harper is assisting Lopez with a case. Bradford will be in a little late. Contact me if you all have any issues. Dismissed.โ€
The other officers filed out of the bullpen, leaving Lucy, John, Ellie, and Aaron.
โ€œEllie, could you go set up our shop? I'll be along in a moment.โ€
Ellie nodded, saying, โ€œYes, sir.โ€
โ€œHold on, Iโ€™ll come with you,โ€ Aaron said, rising from his seat as well. โ€œHey Lucy, I'm also going to go set up ours.โ€
โ€œThanks, Aaron,โ€ Lucy said, smiling."
Once Thorsen and Ellie had left to set up their respective shops, Lucy turned to Nolan and asked, โ€œWhatโ€™s going on?โ€
โ€œHave you noticed anything different about Ellie? I'm slightly concerned about her,โ€ Nolan replied.
โ€œConcerned? Is something happening?โ€ Lucy inquired, worried about her friend.
โ€œI'm not sure. Apparently, sheโ€™s been having trouble sleeping lately. And when she mentioned taking a Benadryl last night, I asked her about it after you went inside.โ€
โ€œWhat did she say?โ€
โ€œShe just mentioned she's been having trouble sleeping and was tired of struggling, so she took one,โ€ Nolan explained. โ€œI tried asking her to see if something's going on, but she, well, avoided discussing it. She assured me that it wouldnโ€™t affect her during patrol,โ€ he paused, โ€œwhich, to some extent, I can agree with; it hasn't affected her work.โ€
โ€œ...but you're concerned it might in the future,โ€ Lucy finished.
"Exactly."
โ€œLook, I know as well as you that she's super private. Even with me, Nyla, and Lopez. Trust me, it hasn't gone unnoticed. We've tried to figure out ways to get her to open up, but we haven't had much luck.โ€
Nolan sighed. This wasn't what he had hoped for. โ€œThanks, Lucy. If she talks to you, could you let me know?โ€
โ€œOf course. Although, you'll probably have better luck. She's basically 'Nolan 2.0',โ€ Lucy smirked.
โ€œYou've heard that too, huh?โ€
โ€œOh yeah. Hey, it's not a bad thing. You've done well for yourself, and maybe she will too.โ€
Nolan chuckled, โ€œYeah, maybe.โ€
โ€œWe should get going. Good luck out there today. Call us if you need backup.โ€
โ€œHey, you too.โ€
Lucy and John headed for their shops, grabbing the assigned body cameras on their way.
โ€œAlright, Rookie, youโ€™re behind the wheel today. Letโ€™s go.โ€
โ€œYes, sir,โ€ Ellie replied, taking the keys from Nolan and getting into the driverโ€™s seat. โ€œThink weโ€™ll have an eventful day?โ€
"Who knows? Itโ€™s LA, a city full of crazies. I wouldnโ€™t doubt it,โ€ Nolan responded.
Ellie nodded.
The silence in the car lasted for only two minutes.
โ€œAlright, so you didnโ€™t take Benadryl for allergies. What are you allergic to?โ€ Nolan asked, curious.
โ€œNot much, really. At least, I donโ€™t think so. Just mold; I canโ€™t have Bactrim or dilauded. Pet dander used to affect me a lot, but it hasnโ€™t since I got Gracie. My mother was allergic to penicillin, but I seem to have lucked out there,โ€ Ellie explained. โ€œI guess if anything ever happens, just make sure EMTs donโ€™t use dilauded on me,โ€ she shrugged.
โ€œWhy? What happens if they do?โ€
โ€œThe first time, we thought it was a normal reaction. The second time,โ€ she paused, โ€œthe second time, we knew it wasnโ€™t. It felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest. I couldnโ€™t talk or really breathe. It was like an out-of-body experience. If you can imagine it, I felt like I was watching myself lying in the hospital bed. Turns out, it stopped my heart for a moment. Scary stuff.โ€
Nolan absorbed everything Ellie shared. โ€œI'm so sorry that happened to you. I'll make sure you're never given it if I can help it.โ€
Ellie nodded, driving quietly for a moment. โ€œThank you. Not many people know about it. I mean, it's in my file, butโ€ฆโ€
โ€œโ€ฆbut you havenโ€™t discussed your experiences. I understand. I appreciate you sharing that with me; I can imagine it wasnโ€™t easy.โ€
โ€œNot really. But I trust you.โ€
โ€œThank you. I trust you, too.โ€
โ€œ7-Adam-15, a domestic dispute call. The address is being sent to your box.โ€
Nolan picked up the mic to respond, โ€œ7-Adam-15, show us responding..โ€
โ€œSo much for an uneventful day.โ€
Tumblr media
So, please be gentle. I haven't written anything in YEARS. Also, I've spent the last 2 weeks binge watching The Rookie. BTW Nathan Fillion is cute as hell. Anyways, I am looking for a beta, if anybody is interested!
Also, I hope I did all this right. I don't usually post on Tumblr! -_-

Gravy Day
Robert 'Bob' Floyd x wife!reader (no mention of Y/N)
Written for @notroosterbradshaw's #hellodecemberplaylistchallenge. The song I chose is How to Make Gravy by Paul Kelly. If you're Aussie, you know Gravy Day. It's not Christmas without this song, and your family (and friends) must be belting it out in whatever venue you hear it.
This is so very very very late, but life got very very busy in December. Nevertheless, its here. I don't know if I like it. I also don't know if there's the side effect of having been thinking about it endlessly since December 21.
Warnings: flufffffff. Mentions infertility, pregnancy and some mental health issues.
Tumblr media
Bob wasnโ€™t even sure Australians spoke English half the time. Sure, some of the words sounded familiar, but there was a rough twang to each syllable. Each word shortened and oh sounds added as often as possible. What was a servo? Or an arvo, for that matter? Occasionally they used words that rhymed with the actual word they intended; his Australian wife had once referred to something as โ€˜tin fruitedโ€™ and then giggled for ten solid minutes at his confusion. He still wasnโ€™t quite sure how tin fruited was code for โ€˜brokenโ€™.
He stood in the kitchen, sleeves rolled to the elbows and hands plunged into the hot water, washing the last few Christmas dinner dishes. When she floated into view, wedding ring glinting on her finger and belly swollen beneath her velvet dress, his heart soared. There she was, his darling wife. Radiant and smiling as her mother and sister fussed after her. The absolute joy of her family here for their first Christmas with her in four years, writ large on her face.
"Can you believe it? Your last Christmas as just the two of you," his mother said, beginning to dry dishes and pile them on the bench.
"Everything okay? You look tense, Robert, dear," his mother, Lillian, whispered as she picked up a dishtowel.
Bob nudged his glasses further up his nose carefully with the back of his wrist, blushing slightly.
"Just thinking," he muttered, turning his attention back to the sink.
He dipped his hands back into the water, fishing for the cutlery he'd dumped in half an hour ago.
Bob didn't say anything. He'd hardly dared to let himself imagine life beyond the birth, terrified that he'd jinx it somehow. Each negative test, every tearful doctor's visit, every needle and anguished cry played across his mind in painful detail. It had taken so long, and now it felt so fragile. They'd waited in silent fear as each week passed until they'd reached the 'safe' time, but Bob still counted every day.
He dropped a handful of clean silverware into the dish rack, watching his father-in-law settle alongside her at the table. The pair of them bent over an instruction manual, presumably for the new Bluetooth speaker she'd gifted him.
"She's okay, Robert."
Lillian peered at him over the wire rim of her glasses, her blue eyes meeting his own. He gave a small smile.
The gentle quiet of the kitchen was suddenly broken by the loud twang of guitar chords and a loud cheer from the dining table. The bluetooth speaker roared into life, playing a song Bob didn't recognise. It was melancholy and gentle.
"Hello Dan, it's Joe here," his father-in-law's voice rolled around the room, singing along.
He offered his hand to his daughter, gently pulling her to her feet and slowly waltzing with her. Slow shuffles from side to side. She seemed to glow from the inside out.
Bob watched as his wife swayed back and forth, before he realised she was singing too. Her soft voice joining in as she looked at her father, beaming.
Hope you're keepin' well
It's the 21st of December
And now they're ringing the last bells
If he had to guess, Bob would have said the song was quintessentially Australian somehow. His wife, having let go of her father, clutched dramatic dramatically at her chest as she belted out the next line.
If I get good behaviour
I'll be outta here by July
Won't kiss my kids on Christmas Day?
"Pleeeeeeeease don't let them cry for me," they chorused, before dissolving into giggles.
Somewhere deep within Bob, something shifted. A crack in the wall anxiety built and the stones shifted and clicked. The tiniest spark of sunlight crept in and Bob felt calm settle over his heart for the first time in a long time. His ribs expanded just that little bit more as he breathed, his smile grew just that little bit wider.
Bob dried his hands and peeled away from the kitchen bench. His hands rested gently on her waist, brushing across her belly as she turned easily. Her smile still made his breath hitch and he adored the way her eyes sparkled, even beneath the kitchen lights. He took her hand in his, resting the other on her lower back, restarting the slow, lazy waltz she'd been doing with her father. The song picked up.
"What is this song about?" Bob interrupted his wife's singing as they swayed.
I guess the brothers are driving down from Queensland
And Stella's flyin' in from the coast
Her lips curled upward in a smile but she didn't answer, instead continuing on with the next line. Bob hoped their baby would have her smile.
Bob listened as she and her family, also dancing scattered around the edges of the room, reeled off the next few lines in perfect cadence.
They say it's gonna be a hundred degrees, even more maybe
But that won't stop roast
"Was that a recipe for gravy? In a song?" Bob laughed.
And give my love to Angus, and to Frank and Dolly
They'd reached the peak now, voices ringing clear across the house, drenched in amusement as they laughed through the rest of the chorus. Heads tipped back, smiles broad across their faces as they shared in the song.
Bob had no idea who Angus, Frank or Dolly were, and highly suspected this was an Australian in-joke of some sort, but the look of pure happiness on his wife's face rendered all else irrelevant.
She leaned against him, arms looped around him best she could. The feeling of her belly bumping against him with each movement made him smile, wider than he had in a while.
"Oh, I'm really starting to get in the way now," she murmured.
Bob laughed, leaning over her to kiss her head.
Oh, praise the Baby Jesus, have a Merry Christmas.

Honourable mentions for some non-Arcane fics I adore:
SPOP (Catradora)
~~canon-ish~~
-ย โ€˜Falling feels like flying (till the bone crush) by ehj on AO3 (idk their tumblr)
what if catra and adora started secretly fucking while still at war with each other? yeah this is that & itโ€™s bloody great ๐Ÿ˜Œ
~~au~~
-ย โ€˜Break a Leg (and break the bed)โ€™ by @dandyvelaย 
catradora as stunt workers who are secretly fuck buddies, minus the friendship & add on a whole lot of repressed feelings. genius ๐Ÿ’–
-ย โ€˜Take me homeโ€™ by feistypants on AO3 (idk their tumblr)
exes running a farm together and slowly confronting the pastโ€ฆ when i tell you i cried ๐Ÿ˜ญ
Killing Eve (Villaneve)
~~what everyone in the old fandom wishes couldโ€™ve been canon~~
-ย โ€˜Saving Eveโ€™ by DontShoveTheSun on AO3 (idk their tumblr)
okay iโ€™m not exaggerating when i say that this fic has improved my mental health lol anyone still reeling from that abysmal finale needs to read this. this whole thing is like the most comforting hug ever & idc itโ€™s canon to *me* ๐Ÿฅน
tbh iโ€™d also extend this rec to anyone who enjoys the murder wives trope in general, even if you havenโ€™t seen the show - this fic truly delivers everything that kind of story needs. canโ€™t praise it highly enough.
okay, this was super fun to do so iโ€™m tagging all the authors mentioned here, plus anyone else who wants to do it! ๐Ÿ’•
