“This sucks.” (Y/N) mumbled.
Hidden in Victor’s old hideout, the one he so kindly showed her a few days before – ‘In case you wander too much’, he said -, she tried not to make any noises. There was no talisman inside, which meant the monsters outside could get in if they managed to unlock the tailgate.
It has been many, many hours since she got here alone, after going out to empty her head; people were dying, one after the other, more than ever before, and now they couldn’t sleep.
“Keep your eyes open, shitstain.” The woman whispered to herself, rubbing her eyes, back leaning against the metal wall. Her sight was trained on the tailgate, wondering why in the fuck she would wander off near nighttime – never again.
And then, a sliver of light passed by a tiny opening on the metal.
Too bright to be a flashlight.
(Y/N) scrambled up, face dangerously close to the cold metal, and peeked out.
“Sun, my beloved!” She shouted, and turned around. With ever raising excitement, she opened the latch and slid up the tailgate; the warm rays of sunshine hit her face with full force, and she leaped down onto the dewy grass.
The woman ran down the familiar path towards the town; by the diner, she waved at Mrs. Liu, Victor and Ethan, smiling as she saw the familiar faces.
“Morning, Jade!” (Y/N) shouted, slowing down as the curly-haired man left the bar with a frazzled look, some book in his hands.
“Where the hell have you been?!” He shouted back, brows furrowed.
“I was taking a walk, dude.” She replied, staring at him. “Where the fuck are you going, looking like my conspiracy theory uncle?”
“Oh, fuck off.”
“Don’t die!”
Jade grumbled something under his breath and left as (Y/N) headed, now walking at a decent pace, towards the Liu’s house.
The familiar sight of closed windows and an open door greeted the woman as she neared the place. She saw Sara leave the house with Boyd; nodded at them, and did her best to ignore the way her heart ached as her eyes focused on the man right behind the duo.
“Kenny.”
The ex-deputy looked up as (Y/N) whispered his name, brown eyes widening as he took in her messy appearance. Her hair was sticking up in weird angles, dark circles adorned her eyes (nothing new there, to be honest), and her glasses were kinda askew on her face.
A few seconds was all it took for the freckled man to run up to his friend and pull her into a tight hug. His arms circled her shoulders, and she sighed; he was warm. He smelled good. He was soft, comfortable-
She was sleep deprived.
“You’re alive.” Kenny said softly, nose nestled in the juncture of her neck and shoulder.
“Last I checked, yes.”
“I was worried, you dumbass.” He leaned back, staring into her eyes.
The tension between them was palpable as they locked eyes, the weight of their emotions hanging in the air. Kenny's words had hit her hard, stirring a whirlwind of worry within her. He couldn't bear the thought of losing her.
Her hands trembled slightly as she reached up to cup his cheeks, her touch gentle and filled with a mixture of affection and regret. Her thumbs traced tender circles against his skin, feeling the warmth gradually spread beneath her touch, a sign of their shared vulnerability.
With every passing moment, their faces drew closer, their breaths mingling. Their noses almost brushed against each other, creating a delicate connection that mirrored the fragile state of their hearts. It was a moment suspended in time, charged with longing and the unspoken desire for solace.
She mustered the courage to ask, her voice filled with a blend of uncertainty and hope, "I'm sorry... Can I kiss you?"
Kenny's response was barely a whisper, yet it carried the weight of his longing, "Please."
In that instant, their lips met, a gentle collision of souls seeking solace and reassurance. It was a tender, tentative kiss, born out of a shared understanding of their vulnerabilities. Their worries and fears melted away, replaced by a rush of affection and the undeniable connection between them.
Time seemed to stand still as they lost themselves in the softness of the moment. The world around them faded away, leaving only the sensation of their lips moving in sync, a dance of tenderness and forgiveness. It was a kiss that spoke volumes, expressing their unspoken apologies, their longing, and the depth of their feelings for one another.
In that single, stolen moment, they found solace and healing, their hearts intertwining in a profound embrace. And as they pulled away, breathless yet content, they knew that their bond had grown stronger, fortified by the power of their shared vulnerability and the healing a simple kiss could offer.
“Sorry to interrupt,” Boyd’s voice rang out, and the couple finally remembered there was an audience near them. “But we need Kenny right now, (Y/N).”
The woman felt her own face warm up now, and slowly let go of her friend’s face, arms hanging limply by her side.
“I’ll see you soon.” Kenny whispered, a small smile on his handsome face. “Really soon.”
“Be careful, okay?” (Y/N) whispered back, gaining a nod and a grin in response.
“Always.”
Right then and there, as she watched the trio walk off towards the forest, the woman sighed, with a lovestruck smile on her face.
“Be still, my fucking heart.”

first kiss / confession with jade and kenny hcs ‼
these boys... they're smoochable and that's not my fault... i hope you enjoy
kenny
Tumblr media
he plans it. he wants it to be perfect for you
so he plans a date specifically for it. a picnic
he's planning to confess and then kiss you
but he's so nervous
he's so nervoussss
someone help him
you worry that he's not feeling well?
he realises that his hands are sweating
he can't hold your hands like this so now what?!
internal panic and outward paralisis
you reach for his hand and squeeze it before asking if he's okay. mayb also rub his arm a bit bc kenny needs all the comfort he can get so i won't withhold it from him
he takes one look at you and smiles because of course he has no reason to be nervous. it's you. and he knows he's safe with you
"yeah. i... was just thinking about how much i like you"
his smile when he says it <3<3
you melttt
he's chuckling a bit, so happy and relieved to confirm that you feel the same way
so happy and relieved that he actually forgets about the kiss
it just feels so good to know for sure. you know it's important to him so you make sure you tell him
"you can't like me more than i like you"
before leaning in for the kiss
it's sweet and you're both smiling so much you can barely do it properly
but it is perfect. even with that <3
jade
Tumblr media
completely unplanned
this man is huge on physical touch so when it comes to his friends he's basically as handsy as they'll let him
when he's close and comfortable with someone? just casually resting his head on your shoulder to peek at what you're doing. using you as a pillow on the couch. touching your arm to get your attention. booping your nose. you name it
so it might happen when you're just casually hanging. maybe working on something together, and you're really close. he catches himself getting way too close and immediately apologises.
just silence in which you're practically breathing each other's air, then a quick "sorry" and pulling away, going back to what he was doing and trying to brush it off
but you don't want to brush it off
"n-no, jade. it's okay. i..."
he turns back to you and you've got his attention. it's now or never
you grab his shirt and lean in, eyes closed, stopping just short of letting your lips make contact with his
"...are you sure about this?"
he's not oblivious. he knows you like him. but the fact that you never acted on it made him worry he was not the kind of guy that you'd want a relationship with
his heart kinda flutters at the thought that he actually might be
you manage a few quick nods
he wastes no time closing the distance between you once you give him the okay
jade is. a very skilled kisser. lots of experience. slow and romantic. runs his hands through your hair and tugs it just right
just how much have you practised, jade??
when he pulls away he looks at you like you're the most precious thing on this earth. you are. to him

A/N: This turned out angstier and longer than I expected. Hope you guys enjoy it!!
Tumblr media
The station was quiet, for once.
Boyd left early in the morning to check the houses, as usual. The only person who was supposed to be there was the freckled deputy, loitering around waiting for something to happen – ‘Do not go visit the infirmary, please’ asked the sheriff, tired of the one-sided pining going on.
Little did he know, the actual person whom he should be worried about was a little ways far away from town.
“Oi, Kenny!” Boyd’s voice echoed within the station, reaching all possible spaces – including the evidence room, cluttered to the brim with boxes and unused junk,
and the two people who were currently making out furiously in it.
The couple broke the kiss with a gasp; Kenny groaned lightly, panting onto the woman’s neck. The giggle that escaped her was barely stifled, and she reluctantly pushed the man away from her own body, always with the utmost gentleness.
“Go on, before he comes inside.”
Kenny whispered her name, almost in a whine, but gave in as soon as their noses touched and she rubbed them together twice. “I’ll see you tonight, my love.”
A light flush made itself home on Kenny’s cheeks. He kissed the woman one last time, lingering for a few seconds, before he heard Boyd’s footsteps entering the station.
“Over here!” The freckled man shouted back, leaving the room in a hurry and fumbling with his pants. “Was in the bathroom.”
Boyd’s forehead creased slightly. “Do you not flush?”
Kenny blinked.
The older man smiled. “I’m fucking with you. Come on, I need you at the Matthew’s house.”
-------------------------------------------
“What’s that on your stomach?” (Y/N) jumped. Her mom had the worst habit of sneaking up behind her at terrible times.
Donna did it without a single ounce of regret, though; as if out of a protective instinct or pure sadism, the young woman didn’t know.
“My stomach?” Play dumb, play dumb.
“Yes, your stomach.” Donna crossed her arms over her chest, with that suspicious expression on her face: eyes narrowed, eyebrows up high on her forehead, mouth pressed into a thin line. “Those very dark marks right over there.”
Think fast-
“Oh, the bruises.” She hummed, with an awkward grin threatening to show on her lips. “I bumped into the couch, and the table. You know how clumsy I can be, mom.”
Donna leaned onto the doorframe, watching as her daughter pulled a large t-shirt over her head; a large t-shirt that was not hers, but also didn’t belong to anyone on colony house. “I know you’re a klutz, and I could’ve believed you if those hickeys weren’t fucking patterned.”
The woman felt her cheeks burn, and an embarrassment she never felt before took control of her own body. She tugged at the hem of the olive-green shirt – Kenny’s shirt – and noticed she set herself up to failure.
She could never lie, anyway.
“Mom-”
“No, no. Do not ‘mom’ me.” Donna finally uncrossed her arms, in favor of grabbing her daughter’s shoulders. She looked up at (Y/N), green eyes full of worry. “I’m not angry because of that. I’m not a prude, and I don’t care if you’re getting it on, but I know it’s not someone from colony house because you’ve been sneaking into town for weeks now.”
The blonde breathed in deeply, as her daughter kept silent.
“You know that place only has crazy people.”
The young woman huffed, shrugging off her mother’s hands. They fell limply by her side, and Donna felt the storm oncoming as (Y/N) narrowed her eyes.
“Mom, you know I love you and everyone here.” The young woman said, fists clenching. “But no one, no one in this place is stable. We live with literal monsters; you know what that does to a person, and we’ve seen the worst happen.”
She stepped around Donna, stopping by the door; with a heavy sigh, she touched the slight bulge on the pocket of her jeans. “Please, can you trust me this once?”
A beat of silence followed, and then, the blonde was the one who walked out the door. “If I find out who it is, I’ll shoot them.”
The older woman’s back was all (Y/N) saw as she stood rooted to the ground by her bedroom door. She could hear people cheering, and Fatima’s voice as her anniversary rolled by.
She didn’t have any energy left.
A small sigh left the woman’s lips as she closed her door. She sat down then, her back to it as she took the round object out of the jeans’ pocket; one of the talismans, the one Kenny gave to her as a protective measure.
(“You worry too much.” She mumbled, but grinned nonetheless.
“Better safe than sorry.”)
A scream tore through the air.
A scream of pain; fear, horror, sheer panic.
(Y/N) scrambled to her feet, and opened the door with a harsh yank.
It was dark, but they were inside, right? No one opened anything, right?
A grinning face stared at the woman from across the hall.
A pale face, with lips pulled a little too wide apart to be normal. From somewhere outside her door, a loud shriek sounded and droplets of blood hit her right cheek.
That was enough to make the young woman stumble back and close the door with a loud thud, locking it with such speed that startled herself; on her other hand, the talisman felt heavy. The string tied around it was thin, but firm enough to loop the end around the doorknob three times without falling. A simple knot kept it in place, and (Y/N) stepped back as the doorknob jiggled once.
The footsteps retreated, and another scream echoed downstairs.
It worked.
It fucking worked.
The woman stumbled back, falling on her ass as she heard all the commotion throughout the place she learned to love after all the tragedy that hit her life; her mom, her aunt-
She just hoped they didn’t get Donna.
--------------------------------------------
Boyd was the first to shout when the van arrived in front of the station.
“What the fuck happened?!”
Donna ushered people in, panicked. “They got in.”
“Where’s Ellis?”
“I don’t know.”
“Where is he?!”
“I don’t know. I’m sorry.” The blonde finally cracked, hands trembling. “My kid was in there too, Boyd. I don’t know where she is either.”
The sheriff’s eyes softened.
“Let’s get these people inside."
-------------------------------------------
The screams stopped a few hours ago.
The things didn’t try to get inside the room again; they just loitered around, mocking (Y/N) with familiar voices and honeyed promises, hoping she’d be swayed enough to let them in and do their little bloody fuck fest with her disemboweled body laying on the floor.
She knew how they acted; she was there on the first day in the van, she hid in the bushes with Donna as her aunt screamed and screamed-
The first voice she heard was Boyd’s.
It was the only thing that brought (Y/N) back to here and now, as she looked outside her window and saw the sun rising up, up, up in the sky. With trembling legs, the young woman stood up and walked to the door. She undid the knot, tugged on the string and pulled the talisman toward herself.
With a ‘click’, the door was unlocked and pulled open.
There’s so much blood.
On the floor. The walls. The rails.
She tried to step around the crimson puddles, but gave up near the top of the stairs. Slowly, as if trying not to slip and tumble down, (Y/N) descended the steps; the voices grew louder, and a sigh left her lips as she heard Fatima and Ellis amidst the others.
Finally, she arrived at the entrance of colony house, and breathed deeply as she walked out the entrance door.
The voices stopped.
Harsh, bright sunlight hit the young woman’s eyes as she looked out towards the crowd of people standing on the grass. Her eyes flitted around the familiar faces quickly, until two of the most familiar voices shouted her name.
She almost fell down the last step to the lawn as a body tackled hers; the smell of peppermint and sawdust took over her senses as the sturdy, warm body of her boyfriend enveloped hers.
“Kenny.”
“You’re alive.” He whispered, relief flooding through his voice. “You’re-”
“I’m here, love.” She answered softly, talisman still clutched tightly on her left hand. “It worked. The talisman- you- you saved me.”
Warm droplets slid down her neck as Kenny sniffled against her; he had gone through so much in such little time, lost so much.
He couldn’t lose her too.
Donna walked up to the couple, her eyes meeting (Y/N)’s. The young woman smiled at her, teary eyed, as she untangled herself from the freckled deputy. The relief that washed over Donna was overwhelming; she thanked every possible deity out there that kept her kid safe in such a shitshow.
They met halfway; the blonde wrapped her daughter in a tight embrace, and they just held each other there, on the lawn.
“’m sorry, mom.” (Y/N) sniffled, lips trembling. “I’m so sorry.”
“It’s not your fault, kid.” Donna replied, noticing the talisman clutched tightly on the young woman’s hand. Kenny looked at her a few steps away, and she pursed her lips in understanding. “I’m sorry, too.”
“He-”
“I know.” The blonde let go of her, and beckoned the deputy over.
He stopped right beside (Y/N), and took her hand in his, lacing their fingers as if it was second nature.
“Thank you, Kenny.” Donna said, loud and clear. The freckled man smiled, but she held up a finger to silence him. “But if you do anything that makes her upset,”
She looked straight into his eyes. “I will not hesitate to shoot you.”
“Mom!”
Donna held in a smile.
She’d let it slide this time.

and there was only one bed + comforting them - reader x jade/kenny
assuming that you both like each other but neither has made a move yet
kenny
if youre a girl he would offer to sleep on the floor until you convince him that you're 100% fully okay with sharing kenny please calm down no one is sleeping on the floor okay
either way it ends with you two sleeping with your backs facing each other with some space in between. like normal adults that can just share a bed. no big deal. this is okay. this is okay (he keeps repeating this to himself)
he assumes that you must be already sleep because you're so quiet but he can't sleep because you've never been this close for so long and his bed feels and smells so nice with you in it and he never wants it to feel any other way again
he's just been through so much in such a short time
wait
is he... crying?
oh kenny
he prays prays prays that the tiny sob he just let out was quiet enough for you not to notice it
"kenny?"
dammit
he feels the weight shift in the bed as you sit up a little. then, he feels a warm hand on his upper arm, lightly rubbing it
"kenny, are you okay?"
he can't say anything because its that kind of moment where talking will make you cry worse
"hey, it's okay" you tell him, gently patting on his arm to get him to turn around to face you "free hugs. come on, come here"
the way he latches onto you. he hasn't had a good cry like this since he got to this damn place
still he tries to keep it low to not wake up his mom, he doesnt want to worry her
but yeah :')) god bless sweet kenny
you're rubbing his back and stroking his hair and after a while he pulls back and starts apologising
you try to tell him that its okay and that he should just try to sleep. that you're happy that you were able to help him. as a friend :)
its okay, you'll eventually get there. not today but someday
eventually you convince him that it really is ok and he plops back into your arms. he's too tired to keep feeling guilty about it
he's so cute when he sleeps T_T protect the sweet boy !!!
jade's under the cut because it's the tiniest bit nsfw
jade is downright offended that he has to share a bed. he didn't want to share a house much less a room much less a SINGLE BED
"you can keep your 3mm of spare bed and blanket thank you very much. ill sleep on the couch. ill sleep on the BATHTUB. i'll sleep on the f—"
you have to be not so subtle about telling him that you were actually looking forward to having him join you in bed. wink wink. wink wink. wink wink motherfuck—
OH
"sure yeah we can share. i don't mind that"
this idiot
"just to be clear, what exactly am i... allowed to do?" while warily eyeing you. offer sounds too good go be true. sus.
"i don't know. what do you want to do?"
cowboy duel
"honestly, i just want to get one fucking night's worth of good sleep"
you chuckle. "alright. we can do that."
you get in bed and just cuddle him like it's nothing. there's maybe a few soft kisses.
you're so soft and warm, he's already melting
"is it too late to change my answer? i don't think i want to sleep anymore"
you chuckle again. "you really, really need to. come on"
"hmm. fine."
he closes his eyes and settles in your arms. it feels so nice. he falls asleep so fast
he is, also, so cute when he's sleeping. it's so rare to see him look peaceful
you kiss his forehead and fall asleep soon after. you both have really sweet dreams because the showrunners and their so-called new horrors have no power here shhhh my imagines are outside of their jurisdiction

Fourth time is the charm. (Kenny Liu x f!reader)
Summary: Three times Kenny almost said "I love you" to his housemate, and the one time he did.
Word count: 2060
Request: no, my mind was just screaming this at me as i read manga at one in the morning
Rating: T
Warnings: spoilers for season 1 and 2 of From, canon compliant violence, blood mentions, swearing, use of (Y/N).
Tumblr media
• When you barely made it to Colony House when the Matthew's got in town.
A loud popping sound echoed outside now, and the truck skidded to a stop.
“The fuck was that?!” Ellis’ voice screamed, startled.
Kenny got out of the vehicle, just as the younger man jumped from the back.
“Are you fucking kidding me? You laid out the fucking nails on the road?!”
The men started to argue, and (Y/N) opened the truck’s door. The sky was getting dark… and a water droplet hit her cheek.
“Fucking stop it!” She yelled, and both her friends startled. “They’re out.”
Ellis cursed under his breath, and struggled to get the passed-out man from the back of the vehicle along with Kenny.
“Tabitha, Julie!” Father Khatri rushed to get the newcomers out of the truck, and (Y/N) got a switchblade out of her pocket. “We have to run. Don’t stop, don’t look back, no matter what you see or hear!”
The group ran up the hill to Colony house then, as Ellis gave his word that Donna would open the door for them.
As he and father Khatri dragged the man up, (Y/N) led the way with Julie and Tabitha on her tail, and Kenny beside them. Heavy rain hit all of them, and the sky was the darkest color they had ever seen. Dark figures loomed by the edge of the forest, but they paid no mind to that.
More urgent matters at hand.
Julie and Tabitha were the first ones to get there, knocking desperately at the door; Kenny was right behind them, and (Y/N) skidded to a stop in front of the man, getting into a fighting stance as she saw the figures got closer. Father Khatri joined the newcomers at the incessant knocking, while Ellis supported the high-as-a-kite man.
“Open the door!” They yelled, but no one answered.
Julie turned around, by (Y/N)’s side, just as the figures approached. The teen stared at a young-looking man, who called her name in a calm manner. The woman pulled her back by the collar of her shirt, and Kenny finally sprang into action – fired his gun, and shot the thing right in the shoulder.
It did nothing.
“Fuck off!” Yelled (Y/N), with a manic glint in her wide eyes. She charged the short distance at the man, ignored the ‘No, don’t-’ her friend started to say, and leaped with both legs directed at the monster.
The thing fell on its back, knocking off a few of its siblings along with it – to say they were surprised was, well. An underestimation.
The door finally swung open, and the newcomers hurried in first, followed by Ellis and Father Khatri carrying the other man. Kenny pulled (Y/N) back up with a single, desperate movement, and they both stumbled inside just as Donna closed the door.
The next several minutes were a mess. Julie and Tabitha had to be tied up, as Donna didn’t know what they could do in a shocked state, and Kenny tried to intervene, but it was of no use; Ellis argued with someone by the side, and Father Khatri tried to sit the passed-out man by himself. Now, the deputy’s anger was directed at his reckless housemate.
“I told you not to do it!” Kenny screamed at his friend, who breathed heavily.
“It was coming on fast.” She answered, with a deep scowl. “Was I supposed to watch it come and disembowel you?”
“You were supposed to not dropkick it on the chest! You could have died!”
“Well, I did!” (Y/N) shouted back, clenching her fists. “And I’m still alive! Even if I died, what’s it matter to you?!”
“You idiot, I-”
“She did what?” Someone whispered by the side, and Donna just pulled the younger woman by the arm.
“And you two, stop fucking arguing!”
• When you made him tea after he caught a cold.
Kenny had caught a nasty cold, and his persistent coughing echoed through the otherwise quiet room. He was feeling miserable, wrapped in a blanket on the couch, when he heard soft steps coming from the kitchen. Startled, he looked up to see (Y/N) walking in with a warm smile on her face.
"Hey there, Mr. Cough-a-Lot," (Y/N) teased gently, setting down a tray with a steaming cup of tea on the coffee table. "I brought you something to help you feel better."
The deputy’s eyes lit up with a mix of surprise and gratitude as he looked at her. "You didn't have to do that, you know." he managed to say between coughs.
"I know." she replied, sitting down next to him. "But you've been working so hard, and you need to take care of yourself. Besides, I've got some secret tea-making skills that can work wonders."
Kenny couldn't help but smile, even though his throat felt sore. "Secret tea-making skills, huh? Well, I'm curious to see how magical this tea can be."
(Y/N) laughed softly, and her eyes sparkled with warmth. She handed him the cup, and he took a cautious sip. The soothing warmth of the tea seemed to melt away some of his discomfort.
"Wow, this is incredible," he admitted, looking at her in admiration. "Thank you, (Y/N). You're like my personal remedy fairy."
Blushing slightly, she nudged him playfully. "Remedy fairy? I'll take that as a compliment. But seriously, you need to rest and drink plenty of fluids. I'll be here to make sure you're okay, as auntie Tian-Chen is at the diner."
Her words made Kenny's heart flutter. It wasn't just the tea that was making him feel better; it was the care and concern in (Y/N)'s eyes that warmed his soul.
As the evening went on, she stayed by his side, chatting and laughing softly to keep his spirits up. His cough began to subside, and he felt a sense of comfort he hadn't experienced in a long time. He realized that, despite feeling under the weather, having (Y/N) there was the best medicine he could ask for.
In that moment, as he looked at his housemate, he felt an overwhelming surge of affection. He wanted to tell her how much he appreciated her kindness, her humor, and her presence. He wanted to say the three magic words, but the fear held him back once again.
Could he really allow himself to fall in love with someone in this situation?
Instead, he reached out and gently touched her hand, giving her a grateful smile that spoke volumes.
• When you defended him from the nasty looks after he broke Sara’s snowman.
As the snowman figurine smashed to pieces on the wall, a few bystanders started to murmur and cast judgmental glares at Kenny.
To someone that arrived after the whole incident, it must have looked like this man was abusing his position of power – the deputy, of course! -, but they didn’t know the weight of his past, the burden he carried because of this woman. They didn't realize the pain that had resurfaced in that moment.
(Y/N), however, stood her ground, defending her friend. "You all don't understand," she said, her voice firm yet gentle. "Kenny is a good person, and he's been carrying a lot on his shoulders. There's a lot more to this story than you know."
Some of the people softened their expressions, sensing the sincerity in (Y/N)'s words.
Another bystander, a kind-hearted older man, spoke up. "Maybe it's best if we all take a step back and give these young folks some space.”
Gradually, people started to disperse, leaving Kenny, (Y/N), and Sara standing in the aftermath of the broken figurine.
Sara sighed, tears falling down her cheeks. "I’m sorry," she said to Kenny, her voice softened by understanding. "I’m truly sorry."
Kenny huffed, grateful for (Y/N)'s presence in that difficult moment. "Let’s leave." he whispered.
(Y/N) nodded, wrapping her arm around his shoulders. "Come on, Kenny. Let’s go home.” she said, guiding him away from the scene, leaving behind the broken porcelain and the guilt-ridden girl.
• When you come back to him after Reggie almost shot you.
Tian-Chen dropped a plate on the sink as (Y/N) entered the diner, blood dripping down through the fingers that clutched her arm, and forming a crimson trail on the floor.
“Kenny!” The older woman shouted, rushing to (Y/N)’s side, and making her sit on the chair by the door. “Hand off.”
“It’s fine, I,” She hissed as Tian-Chen pulled her hand down, eyes narrowed in what she could recognize as incredulity. “Okay, it’s not fine, but it’s also not- ah- not that bad!”
Kenny finally came out of the kitchen then, brows furrowed as he saw the blood on the floor. His eyes followed the trail, and the image of his housemate hissing as his mom looked at the wound on her arm got his brain into full panic mode. “What the hell happened?”
(Y/N) looked up at the frantic male, opening her mouth to respond, but Tian-Chen was quicker, saying something to her son in their native language; she hurried off to the kitchen right after. Kenny's heart pounded as he rushed to (Y/N)'s side, his concern for her overpowering everything else. He knelt down beside her and gently took her injured arm, examining the graze. "You got grazed by a bullet?" he asked, his voice filled with worry. “Who did this?”
"Yeah, it's not as bad as it looks." She nodded, wincing as he touched the wound. “Reggie got a hold of a shotgun, but Boyd got to him before he could kill more people.”
Tian-Chen returned from the kitchen with a first aid kit and handed it to Kenny. "Patch it up, son." she said, giving him an encouraging smile before heading back to the sink to clean up the broken plate.
As Kenny carefully tended to his housemate’s wound, he couldn't help but feel a rush of emotions. Seeing her hurt, knowing how close she came to real danger, made him think about all the times he had wanted to tell her what he felt; he wanted to protect her, be there for her, and never let anything harm her again.
"You really scared me." he admitted softly, his eyes locked on hers. "I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you."
(Y/N) reached out and gently cupped his cheek, her touch bringing comfort to his anxious heart. "I'm okay now, Kenny." she reassured him. "And I'm glad you're here with me."
Unable to hold back any longer, Kenny let his feelings pour out. "I love you, (Y/N)," he confessed, voice trembling. "I've loved you for so long, and- I can't keep it to myself any longer. I can’t bear to keep lying to myself and to you, and-"
(Y/N)'s eyes widened in surprise, but a soft smile tugged at the corners of her lips. "Kenny, I love you too," she whispered, her voice filled with affection. "I've been scared to say it, but I love you."
With a mix of tenderness and longing, Kenny leaned in, his hand gently cupping (Y/N)'s cheek as their lips drew closer. His touch was feather-light, as if he were afraid she might disappear if he held her too tightly.
Her breath hitched in anticipation as she closed her eyes, heart racing in her chest. She could feel their breaths mingling, and the soft brush of his lips against hers sent a shiver down her spine.
Their lips met in a soft, lingering kiss. It spoke volumes; filled with unspoken promises and the unyielding devotion they felt for each other. Time seemed to stand still as they lost themselves in the moment, savoring the sweetness of their connection.
Kenny's lips were gentle and tender, moving against (Y/N)'s with a slow, deliberate pace. Her hand found its way to Kenny's shoulder, pulling him closer, deepening the kiss.
Their bodies pressed together, and the world around them faded away. It was just the two of them, wrapped in each other's embrace, seeking solace and strength in each other.
As they finally pulled back, they gazed into each other's eyes. The moment was charged with a newfound sense of intimacy.
"I love you, (Y/N)." Kenny whispered, his voice filled with sincerity.
"I love you too, Kenny." (Y/N) replied, her voice soft and full of affection.
Then, Tian-Chen’s voice echoed from the kitchen. “No grandkids yet!”

Comfort in the Darkness (Kenny Liu x f!reader)
Summary: Night brings in fear, but Kenny is there to help you through it.
Word count: 566.
Request: "Hello:) if it is possible I wanted to request a Kenny x reader imagine where the reader is spending the night with Kenny and it's time to sleep reader is scared of the dark BC of the situation they are in so when Kenny closes the light she is clingy and holds onto him and he notices, so he asks her what's wrong and she tells him and then he turns on a small light for her and holds her through the night? Just lots of fluff❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 (sorry for any grammatical errors xxx)"
Rating: G
Warnings: use of (Y/N). This is all fluff <33
Tumblr media
The moon hung low in the sky, casting an eerie glow through the window of Kenny's house. As the night settled in, the world grew quiet, a stark contrast to the chaos that lurked beyond the safety of the walls. The wails and whispers outside the windows and doors did nothing to help (Y/N)’s anxiety.
 Kenny and his beloved companion, found themselves in their dimly lit bedroom, seeking solace in each other's presence once again; they had been through countless trials together, facing the relentless threats that plagued their world.
Tonight, however, was different.
Tonight, (Y/N) felt a tremor of fear coursing through her veins as darkness enveloped the room. The monsters that prowled under the cover of night whispered their sinister presence, reminding her of the dangers that lurked just beyond the windowpane.
As Kenny extinguished the last flicker of light, plunging the room into darkness, the woman felt her heart quicken with apprehension. She shifted uneasily beneath the covers, her breaths shallow and uneven. The weight of the impending darkness pressed down upon her, threatening to consume her fragile resolve.
Sensing her distress, the deputy turned to her with furrowed brows, his eyes reflecting concern in the dim glow of the moonlight. He could feel the tension radiating from his lover, her unease palpable in the air. With a gentle touch, he reached out to her, his fingers intertwining with hers in a silent gesture of reassurance.
"Hey, baby, what's wrong?" His voice was soft, almost feather-light on that intimate, fragile moment; a beacon of warmth in the sea of shadows that surrounded them.
(Y/N) hesitated, her words caught in the grip of her fear. She swallowed hard, willing herself to vocalize the turmoil that churned within her soul. "I'm scared," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.
Kenny's gaze softened, his heart aching at the vulnerability etched upon the woman’s face. He understood the magnitude of her fear, the weight of the darkness bearing down upon her after standing this situation for so long. Without hesitation, he reached for the small lantern that rested on the bedside table, its gentle glow casting a soft halo of light in the room.
With a flick of his wrist, the freckled man illuminated the darkness, banishing the shadows that threatened to engulf them. The warm light washed over (Y/N)'s trembling form, offering a beacon of hope in the face of uncertainty.
"There,” Kenny's voice was gentle, a soothing melody in the stillness of the night. “Is that better?"
The woman nodded, her gratitude evident in the depths of her eyes. She nestled closer to her lover, seeking refuge in the warmth of his embrace. In his arms, she found solace, a sanctuary from the terrors that lurked beyond the safety of their haven.
As the night wore on, (Y/N) found herself drifting into the peaceful embrace of slumber, her fears quelled by the steadfast presence of Kenny by her side. In the quietude of the night, their love burned brightly, a beacon of hope in the darkness that threatened to consume them.
Together, they weathered the storm, their hearts intertwined in a bond that transcended the trials of their world.
And, as the first light of dawn painted the sky with hues of gold and amber, (Y/N) knew that as long as she had Kenny by her side, she would never fear the shadows again.

Kenny Liu NSFW headcannons (gn!reader)
Summary: just some headcannons because I've got brainrot over Kenny once more :)
Request: no, my braincells screamed at me again
Rating: M, 18+ obviously
Warnings: mentions of kinks, light bdsm, marking/biting, sex talk
Tumblr media
• Kenny is SO shy at first. He doesn't know how to act the first times you guys start to go into sexy territory
• Asks for consent. Always
• "can I touch (body part)?"
• That goes two ways. Always ask for consent too because my boy is insecure and takes a while to get comfortable when it comes to showing himself more, even if it's just touching and no actual seeing
• I headcannon him as aspec, either demi or grey ace. In either of those, it takes him a long time to warm up to the thought of being intimate with you, so you'll have to go slowly
• When he gets more confident, will stop asking verbally to touch your body areas that aren't considered very intimate. Will squeeze your hips, waist, tummy, but will still look up at you to see if it's okay to keep going
• Biting/nibbling king!!!! Keeps biting your neck and the center of your throat unconsciously, it's honestly very relaxing to him and he gets happy whenever a light mark appears
• The first time he covered your neck in marks, he got so flustered. Apologized profusely because you had to wear a turtleneck around town in a 35ºC (95ºF) heat
• Was lowkey proud tho. Seeing you walk with the marks HE created on your body makes his brain go haywire and he gets even more excited, expect him to go right back to work when the old ones fade
• You forget to cover them up ONCE and never again. Jade saw it and went "what got to you, chupacabra?"
• "please shut up."
• When you actually end up doing the do, he's overwhelmed. Not in a bad way, you worked everything up to this point and he's so so so happy he has someone who loves him and wants him :((
• He's a switch, sub leaning. No buts, mans a giver all the way, you actually have to remind him this is about him, too
• Cries when he's about to cum. It all feels so good, it's so warm and he looks down to see your face scrunched up in pleasure as you just came and a drop of sweat sliding down your chest
• Ends up nutting right then and there
• Doesn't have a crazy high sex drive, but will get horny at the simplest things
• You smiled up at him, brighter than the sun, after a bad day? Boner
• Punched some asshole on the nose after they screamed at Victor? Boner
• Showed up at the station with homemade food for him? He's taking you in the archive
• Someday you ask him if he has any kinks and he's like "pshh no"
• Ends up having many
• One of them is shibari. He likes the aesthetic of it and it feels nice to have your hands all over his body as you twist the rope
• Whenever you tie him up, the night is all about him. It's usually after a rough day, he needs to get his head off things and not care about everything and everyone for once
• Praise kink. Both giving and receiving, can and will cry if you start to call him pretty and kiss all over his body
• King of aftercare!! Will clean both of you up, kiss all over your face and whisper sweet nothings as he hides his face on your neck
• Will lay his head on your lap on most nights. Sleeps the best when he's resting there
• Is a thigh man. Doesn't matter of your thighs are skinny, chubby, bony, he LOVES THEM
• Card your fingers through his hair and massage his scalp (the famous Brazilian cafuné) and he's ready to go again
• is a softie in the streets and sheets, protect Kenny at all costs.

taking care of jade and kenny while they're sick
kenny
you look away for one millisecond and he's up doing stuff
"i don't want my mom to have to do it okay" through a stuffy nose while washing the dishes
you need to remind him that being sick here is not the same as being sick elsewhere, even if it's "just a cold"
he's pretty reasonable and agrees to get back in bed. he's a good boy!
you want to keep him company but he's like "don't worry, i don't want you to catch it, i'm fine, i've got my book"
he's getting his forehead kissed whether he wants to or not though
you stay in the same room with him but keep a distance, looking like a kicked puppy because you can't snuggle or kiss your boyfriend
boyfriend timeout. criminal
if it gets even minimally serious though you'll be there to do any nursing that needs to be done
"i miss you too. i'm just trying to do everything right so we can get close again as soon as possible, okay?"
(sad reluctant noises)
tian chen stealing you away to help in the kitchen to distract you and telling you cute stories from when kenny was a child
bonus points if kenny ends up having to translate his own embarrassing childhood stories that tian chen wants to tell
jade
may the lord help you
it's similar to when he's high
"you're so beautiful. you're so beautiful and i love you so much..." through a stuffy nose and sounding like he's having a mindblowing realisation
calling for you all the time
"babe. babe?" "i just wanted to look at you, i missed you so much, no no no please don't go—babe"
he loves you fretting over him and won't bother trying to hide it
he still tries to do stuff which is ironic because he doesn't normally do stuff
it's like jade i've never seen you do the dishes, why are you doing the dishes now
heartbroken if you don't want to cuddle with him. he would catch the cold for you and you know it (it is true)
(with his face buried in your shoulder) hnggg babe i think i might be dying
he's so dramatic that you worry that it's actually something really serious and take him to the clinic only for kristi to diagnose him with manchild disease
he asks you to read something to him so he can fall asleep to your voice
you ask tian chen for some candy bar or similar to bring it to him as a small treat and he looks at you like you're his literal guardian angel
"this is why i fell in love with you" (its a mini snickers bar)
you're free to get as mushy as you want with him in this state, he'll feel all the more loved
he won't say a word about it but he'll be extra sweet to you once he's feeling better

Do think you can make more fanfics of Kenny and or jade your like the only person who actually writes for characters in the show (from) and I feel like they just need so much more love 💕🥲 I literally love your account and all the theories 
dhsjdhshd thank you so much for sending this ask !! they DO need so much more love both in-universe and out... specially kenny rn. jade is somehow kind of making friends... we can be proud of him. kind of <3 im so glad you like my account i'm always so worried about spamming but my heart is so full rn 🥺💝
i'm definitely gonna be writing more for them! i have an embarrassing amount of drafts i should probably polish up a bit and post. here's some headcanons in the meantime
kenny and jade: where they take you on a date 🥂🎆
jade
out of fromville
he looves to flaunt his wealth and is a child at heart so on your first dates he'd probably take you to places that are both expensive and fun like a hot air balloon ride or a premium pass visit to a theme park, bonus points if there's tech toys involved like those star wars spaceship simulator VR pods, or idk, racecars
also!!! escape rooms
sometimes tobey tags along because the stuff is fun and you just have to deal with that. he does make sure leave you some alone time though
on your 4th or 5th date you ask him if you can just hang out at home and he looks heartbroken like you don't like our dates?? jade i'm just exhausted
he kind of has a difficult time accepting that you like him enough to want to just spend the day with him, but he's pretty touched when it sinks in that you do
you order some food, curl up on the couch and binge some tv show or movie series that either of you likes, it could be some old favourite or something that's been sitting on your to-watch list for a while. i just know that jade is a jurassic park kind of guy and no one can change my mind
all the time he's just thinking how nice and natural it all feels and how easily he could get used to having you around more often <3
in the town
he would talk a lot about where he wants to take you when you get out, but if confronted with the thought of going on a date while in there, he'd be like—what the hell do you mean, there's nothing to do in here
you tease him a little bit like come on, where's that imagination you keep talking about? be creative. you'll come up with something for sure
now it's a challenge. and he tries. he really tries. but nothing feels impressive or datey enough, considering where he'd like to take you if he could
you ask him to see the notebook he's been writing (and sketching) the ideas on and you can't help but laugh. jade, literally a picnic would've been just fine
but you make sure to show him how touched you are that he was putting so much effort into trying to make something really special for you. he gets lots of love and many hugs and kisses as a reward <3
kenny
out of fromville
kenny loves café and museum dates, though he'd be a bit worried that he's not smart enough to impress you if you go to a museum. he just really likes going because all the stuff is cool, but he's not one of those guys that can tell you more than the guide on any given tour. he might try to prepare and do a bit of research beforehand to try to show off though :)
it's very easy to tell that he didn't just happen to know all that stuff, but nonetheless it's incredibly cute
bonus points if you are the kind of person that can tell you more than the guide on any given tour. you'd have to correct him on some stuff. he'd be a bit embarrassed but his crush on you would only get bigger and bigger with that
if he wants to go for something a bit bigger or special he might ask if you want to book one of those weekends that you can spend at an apple orchard or a pumkin farm in the fall, it would be really sweet and he'd take the cutest pics of you <3
in town
his go-to would be a picnic in the nicest patch of woods that he can find. it's an easy choice because he's big on picnics in general, no matter where you are
he would pick some flowers for you and do his best to help you feel at ease. if you're new, you may be a bit worried about straying from the town even just a little bit, but he knows the place really well and he'd reassure you that the woods are safe as long as the sun is out
it'd be worth it when the knowledge of where you are begins to fade away. once you can no longer see colony house or the town, you start feeling like you could be on a normal hike, and that feels really nice
kenny would have changed out of his deputy uniform and into his nicest clothes for this and your heart would have nearly jumped out of your chest when you saw him looking like that for the first time <3<3

the way they stared (kenny liu x gn reader)
rescuing this from my drafts, i wrote it after s2e6 because that scene with the snowglobe hurt so much. i know there's plenty of sara defenders in the fandom, sorry to disappoint but i am firmly on kenny's camp
summary: reader comforts kenny after the incident with sara outside the diner
"Kenny?" You called, immediately springing up from your seat when you saw your friend storm into the living room, smashing the door closed behind him. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Kenny shook his head, trying to convince you that he was okay despite the mounting evidence to the contrary. "I'm fine. I'll be fine. I just..."
You waited.
"She went to see my mom." He finally admitted. "She apparently wanted her stuff back."
You knew immediately who 'she' was.
"Kenny..."
"I told her not to get close to her again. I... I threathened her and, fuck—" The harsh words came out of Kenny's mouth with difficulty, making his voice tremble. He shook his head again. "(Y/N), the people there, they—as if..."
Concerned for him, you reached to take his hand, lightly rubbing circles in the back of it with your thumb.
"As if you were the bad guy?" You suggested, your heart breaking when he nodeed in response. "Kenny, everyone here knows you're anything but."
He shook his head, his eyes reddened and starting to pool with tears. He let out a small, dry chuckle. It hurt so much—to see him hurt.
"You should have seen the way they stared."
Looking deep into his eyes, you cupped his face with your free hand and sighed. "Okay. If that is the case, then maybe everyone here sucks."
You smiled in satisfaction. As tiny and soft as the chuckle that followed your words was, you had gotten him to laugh.
"Maybe you're right."
"Have you talked to Jade?" You asked, trying to offer him some hope. "He's going to feel just like you do. I'm sure."
"I couldn't find him anywhere."
You nodded. "It's fine. You've got me, okay?"
Kenny looked back up into your eyes, managing a small, honest and grateful smile.
"Yeah. Okay, I'll... I'll try to remember that."

two bf flavors
jade with a new resident that feels safe around him and follows him everywhere:
"stop! stop, i see what you're doing, you're imprinting on me like a fucking baby duckling and im already dealing with enough, alright?"
that meme of the railing with the sign that says 'do not lean on me i am not stable'
if your phone still has battery he'll borrow it to listen to whatever music you have downloaded for offline listening on it
he'll probably complain about your music taste if he can't find anything he likes
i cant decide if he hates taylor swift or has not missed a single concert in the last 20 years
"no you can't have one earbud you've been here for three days. you haven't even had time to miss this yet. christ"
cant understand why you'd want to spend your time around him but he'd end up warming up to you
you end up making theories and investigating together like you're in the mystery gang
he eventually starts taking it for granted that you'll be with him most of the time and starts feeling like something's missing when you're not
would give in and go awkwardly look for you like Hey Is Everything Okay Just Checking
he knows how to be there for you when you need him
cuddling all night to help you distract from the monsters if you cant sleep. gets all jokingly mushy saying he'll protect you and everything
but he's already half asleep while he's saying that
kenny with a new resident that feels safe around him and follows him everywhere:
just really happy he really needs a friend rn and unlike others hes emotionally mature enough to admit it
he might idealize you a little bit because you entered his life at a time when hes doing awfully and gave him your friendship and love. he's not above saying you were his angel but like waaay down the line (even if he's already thinking it now)
he's such a good boy, if you've got snacks and you offer them to him he'd tell you that you should bring those to the diner to share with everyone
it's a difrerent story if he spots his favourite in your bag, though. he's just been through a lot. he deserves to be a little bad
listening to music together because he shares unlike others. if you don't have anything he likes he'd look disappointed but still be polite and give your stuff a chance
him apologising because he's struggling with a lot and you being very confused because he's literally the sweetest most attentive guy you've ever met
playing games all night to help distract you from the monsters outside if you can't sleep
wants to comfort you with a hug but thinks twice before initiating anything actually intimate after how things turned out with kristi
just doesn't want to get hurt again
he will be so happy if you hold his hand

Refuge (Kenny Liu x gn!reader)
Summary: Life is tough at whatever the hell this town is, but at least Kenny got you by his side.
Word count: 733
Rating: M
Warnings: spoilers for s2e3 of From, mentions of blood, death, canon compliant violence and gore, a lot of swearing, reader is hinted to wear glasses, hugs, use of (Y/N).
Tumblr media
The loud slam of the front door is what startles the duo.
"The fuck?" Swears Jade, as they watch Kenny storm by without a single word.
The chess board is on the coffee table between them, ivory pieces thrown around as Jade tried to teach his confused friend how to actually play it - not just imitate my little pony characters with the horse pieces.
"Something's wrong." (Y/N) whispered, already standing up from their seat on the couch.
"He probably saw his crush with her fianceé again-"
"Dude, he'd just sulk." They retorted, brows furrowing, glasses slipping down their nose. "Something bad happened."
Jade opened his mouth to say something again, but whatever it was got lost as the resident fix-it 'guy' turned around and towards Kenny's room.
"Well, fuck me, then."
Three quick raps against the door was enough to let Kenny know who was on the other side.
His mom called out to him instead of knocking and Jade knocked once before storming in shouting or mumbling from time to time.
"What is it?" He asked, voice strained. It wavered a little, and he heard a small thump against the wood - his friend leaned their forehead against it.
"Do you want to talk about it?" (Y/N) said quietly, but loud enough for him to hear.
The freckled man chewed on his bottom lip, fists clenching by his side. He wanted to stop - to sit or lay down, he was absolutely fucking tired, but his legs wouldn't stop pacing around.
He just saw a young, bright woman die with an iron stick through her head, and those things, those monsters, had the audacity to leave her there to suffer more and more and more until-
"Kenny?" (Y/N) whispered, softly, still waiting for his answer.
"Come in, please."
The deputy kept his eyes on the ground. He heard the door open, and then close; then, a pair of black combat boots appeared in his field of vision.
"Kenny, look up, please."
He didn't. He wouldn't dare look up because he'd see his friend's innocent, happy face and remember the screams amidst the forest.
The first tears fell without him realizing.
The sobs wracked through his body like the thunderstorm a couple of days ago, and it was only then that Kenny felt his friend actually hoist him up by his waist (with little struggle) and his legs soon felt the soft mattress against them. With a small push, he sat down, still looking at the ground, and (Y/N) kneeled by him.
"I don't know what happened." They said, hands cupping Kenny's freckled, warm cheeks. "But I'm here for you. If you do say anything or not, I will be here."
"They- they stuck an iron stick through one of the passengers head's." The deputy managed to say through the sobs, his own hands now engulfing the ones over his cheeks. "She was in the forest. They kept her a-alive."
(Y/N) gritted their teeth, jaw set tight.
"And she felt nothing at all, until she started to scream and then Boyd had to pull the thing out and Kristi held her hand and all Ellis and I could do was watch as she died stuck to a tree in a forest in the middle of nowhere without being able to call her mom one last time!"
The deputy cried harder then, holding his friend's hands with an iron grip. He sobbed until his body shook, and the entire time (Y/N) stayed close to him, their own forehead resting on the crown of Kenny's head.
At some point, the freckled man let go of their hands, and snuck his arms around their waist instead, hiding his teary face on the crook of their neck. (Y/N) opted to hug him back, one of their hands on the back of his head, pointer finger drawing random patterns on the soft black hair.
"I'm sorry." Kenny whispered, still sniffling. "Sorry to dump this all on you."
"Don't ever be sorry about telling me these things, Kenny." They retorted. "I'm here for you, always. No matter how gruesome or cruel, you can let it out to me."
Kenny, for the first time since he got home, looked up at his friend.
Lopsided smile, fogged up glasses, wild hair sticking up to all possible directions, gentle eyes.
"You can always count on me."
Kenny smiled back.
"I know."
Tumblr media
Okay this was a RIDE
I hope I made all the two characters justice lmao sorry if I made Jade seem annoying, he just strikes me as an annoying brother (like my own younger brother) so yeah
Hope y'all like it :)
Also if the English is kinda wonky pls tell me bc I'm a tired Brazilian worker :')

Going on a hike with Kenny HCs (gn!reader)
Summary: went on a school trip as a teacher's assistant and the whole walk/hike got me thinking about Kenny </3
Request: no, my braincells screamed at me again
Rating: PG13. All safe
Warnings: none! this is pre-fromville though
Tumblr media
First of all, he'd be SO excited to go out with you!!
I headcanon Kenny as a nerdy jock kinda guy, so he's super into hiking, going out for a swim, playing any types of sports with his s/o rly. that gets him going
Doing a thing you love with a person you love??? perfection
He would definitely help you with your gear.
No need for fancy clothing or shoes, get into some comfy stretchy pants and a loose shirt, coupled with sneakers and you're ready to go
Checks if you have a big water bottle and snacks. He packed a few himself (and would share, obviously), but wants you to get fully immersed into the hike state of mind
Has everything in his backpack. Looks incospicuous from the outside, but mans has packed a full first aid kit, a bunch of tools: wrenches, screwdrivers, a pair of scissors-
"Why're you carrying a full repair shop on your backpack?"
Answers with the blankest expression ever and shrugs
"You never know"
Onto the actual hike
Holds your hand.
Are you sweating? Too bad! He's still holding your hand.
Smiles the whole way, talking about the story of the path you're taking, the kind of trees you're passing by, the animals you see scurrying along
Compares you to a squirrel.
"You're both so cute!"
Is always paying attention to where you're both walking - so you don't get lost or trip over anything
Whistles to the tune of the birds around you
Ends up taking you to a clearing so you can sit for a while and rest
And make out a little. You both deserve it
You end up sharing your snacks with him, because he brought way too much junk and way too little food
Is forever grateful, a little overdramatic
"You have saved me from starvation-"
"It's a granola bar and a sandwich"
"Forever will I be indebted"
(He was a theater kid in seventh grade)
You guys end up going back down the path because it was way too hot, and your snacks were absolutely demolished
Got home a little sore, very sweaty, with raised dopamine levels>>>>>
Ends up taking a very deserved shower, wearing comfy clean clothes and ordering takeout as a reward
Hike day turns into a movie night
Perfect end for a perfect day <3

soft kisses
with kenny
soft kiss on the corner of your mouth
he smiles a little and caresses your cheek before leaning forward
smiles when he feels you smile under the kiss
pulls you into a hug with his nose buried in your hair
with jade
neck kisses
slowly presses cosy sleepy kisses along your neck and shoulder
he's probably apologising for something
chuckles a little to himself if he sees it's tickling you
rubbing circles on your upper arm and shoulder with his thumb
buries his face in the crook of your neck until he gets his way and you hug him
