===+===+===
With each room visited, the list of tasks was shifting from white to green. All but three of them were lit up with the color of a job well done. Bunbun looked over the list with a growing sense of satisfaction. Just three more now, she thought, I can handle that in no time. Not to mention the updates had given her a perfect opportunity to meet most of her crewmates. Hopefully whoever she had left to encounter would be in a good mood.
Or at least a better one than a certain blue-suited crewmate.
Speaking of which, River had once again chosen their destination. He’d hooked a sharp right as they left Medbay, leaving Bunbun- as per last time- to scramble after him. His pace picked right back up after he was out of Medbay’s sight. He only spared Bunbun a single glance over his shoulder.
“C’mon, keep up,” he grumbled, “there’s not much left to do, and I’m hungry. I wanna have time for my lunch break before I have to be back at cams.” With a sinking feeling, Bunbun realized he might have just been on his “best behavior” for the doctor. That wasn’t uncommon among crewmates. After all, you do want the local medic to treat you well.
Well...
That, and patients who behave get discharged sooner.
River’s attitude change didn’t bode well for their time outside of medbay. Luckily, Administration wasn’t too far from there. They just had to pass through the cafeteria. Maybe there’d be a vending machine or something. A good stop for a snack. As long as it gets River off my back, I don’t care what it is, Bunbun thought ruefully.
The cafeteria was about as standard as it gets. The tile floor was dull from years worth of crewmates’ passage. The slightly dented wire panel on the wall closest to them was closed. The download station and food processor on the far wall seemed to be in working order. From what Bunbun could see of the chute, it was nice and clear. Five circular tables were placed around the room, two at each end and one in the middle. The emergency button looked rather haphazardly installed in the center table. It was as if someone had carved a hole in its surface and shoved in the proper equipment- nothing like the clean circles and precise welding of newer ships. It was just another sign of the SKELD’s age. Bunbun was at least comforted by the layer of dust atop it. Unbothered dust on the button- above everything- was a testament to the ship’s safety. Or, at the very least, a high level of trust in its crew.
River didn’t give anything a single glance. He walked like a man on a mission, and Bunbun tailed after him diligently. To his credit, he wasn’t headed towards the food processor. He was making a beeline for the door towards storage. Or, rather, toward Admin. She figured that’s where they were headed. It was next on her list.
Before they reached the door, though, River stopped in his tracks. He went still so fast Bunbun nearly crashed into him.
“Wh- hey- what was that about?” She squawked.
“Can it,” River hissed, taking a step back. “We’ll move in just a minute. Gotta wait for traffic.”
“Traffic…?” Bunbun’s brows furrowed. What traffic…? She tried to track River’s gaze. It wasn’t hard, seeing as it was riveted on the doorway.
She spotted a crewmate in black standing there. The fact that they were wearing their helmet outside of docking time was a little odd, but it wasn’t entirely unheard of. Though the rubbery banana peel stuck to the top of it was sort of funny looking. From the way it didn’t slide off their head after any movement, she’d guess it was an accessory. Black’s head was bent over their tablet, which they held in their right hand. Their left rested on the handle of a gravity platform cart. A large crate was nestled in its center. From the label, Bunbun could tell it was food. All in all, they seemed like a standard human crewmate on supply duty.
At least, at first glance.
The more Bunbun looked them over, the more their shape seemed more vaguely human than clean cut. Their limbs were a little too bendy, and their suit didn’t seem form fit to any specific body shape. It was like a vague approximation of a humanoid form. The biggest tell, though, were their hands. Bunbun blinked a couple times to make sure she was seeing them right. Their gloves only had four fingers instead of five.
Suddenly, keeping the helmet on made more sense. For all she knew, the alien under there might breathe a different kind of air. Or no air at all. She’d had plenty of aquatic- and a handful of lava dwelling- classmates at the academy. Though… that style of suit was more fitted to the gaseous types of aliens. Ah, well. The mystery would have to wait for later.
Black seemed to mumble to themself for a minute before cramming their tablet under their arm. They’d just turned to pull the cart into the caf when the room’s other occupants caught their eye. Or, at least, the occupant in front did. They seemed to perk up immediately, one hand flying to their visor.
“Oh! Howdy!!!” they called happily. “I didn’t see ya there!!! Ya need through?”
“That would be ideal,” River replied tersely.
“Gimme jes oooone sec-”Black bubbled. With that, they yanked the cart all the way into the room. It floated in easily, and came to rest next to the doorway under their guidance. “There she is! All clear for ya, Riv!”
River started right back towards the door the second they were out of the way. Not even gonna say thanks? Bunbun thought, puzzled. Well. If he wasn’t gonna do it, she would.
“Er- thank you, we appreciate it,” Bunbun called as she followed him. Black gave a quiet gasp.
“Oh!!! I didn’ realize we had company!” They giggled, looking to River. The man stopped in place again, expression souring. “Who’s yer new pal?”
“Does it matter?” River huffed, crossing his arms. “We’ve got places to be.”
“It does if they’re new to the ship!!!” They chirped. Trotting right over, they stuck out their hand to Bunbun. “Hi there!!! I’m Nanner! What’s yer name, hun?” She blinked at their forwardness, but returned their handshake timidly. Their nickname made her smile a bit. Maybe their hat wasn’t entirely out of place.
“I’m, uh, Bunbun,” she replied shyly. “It’s nice to meet you, Nanner.”
“Bunbun!!! Oh, now that’s a cute nickname!” Nanner hummed. “Yer the new transfer, right?”
“I- er- thank you,” she stammered, face flushing a bit. “And, um, yeah. I dunno how long I’m on board for, but hopefully I can help out.”
“Oh, I already know ya will. Ya look like a real peach!” Nanner smiled. Or, she thought they did. It was hard to tell. The visor was so dark she couldn’t make anything out. In any case, the words just made her blush more. Kind ones always did that. “I’ll do my best to make sure yer stay is nice ‘n homely!”
“W-well, you’re already doing a good job,” Bunbun smiled softly.
“Good, ok, you two are acquainted. Can we go?” River broke in, scowling.
“Ah ah ah, Riv,” Nanner scolded, wagging a finger at him. “Y’all can’t go till I know what the lil lady’s favorite food is! Y’all of all people gotta know that by now.” River threw his hands up in defeat. Bunbun’s look of confusion resurfaced.
“Favorite food?” She echoed, puzzled.
“Well, yeah! I’m the ship’s cook,” Nanner replied nonchalantly. “I gotta know what y’all like so I can have it on hand. Ya never know when you’ll need some good ol’ comfort food.”
“Oh… oh! That’s true,” Bunbun nodded. Ship’s cook. Yeah, the food crate should’ve been a giveaway. “I’m, um, afraid mine’s a little on the tame side…”
“Not a problem! Tame is good for some,” Nanner soothed.
“Ok, er, thanks. It’s just a peanut butter jelly sandwich.”
“Any particular variety? There’s a lotta those across the galaxy!”
“The kind with Paramour’s grape jelly? I’m not picky about my peanut butter.”
“Hmm… Paramour grape jelly and a wild card on the peanut butter…” Nanner nodded thoughtfully. “I’ll have one for yer lunch break, hun.” Bunbun lit up, smiling excitedly.
“Oh!!! Thank you so much!!!” She beamed, “I really appreciate it-”
“Ok, order up and all that,” River huffed, interrupting again. “Are we done?”
“Sheesh, fine,” Nanner snorted. “Seems like someone needs a nap,” they mumbled, giving Bunbun a playful nudge. She tried her best not to laugh, hiding a smile with her hand.
“I heard that,” River growled.
“Good. Maybe you can take one later!” Nanner beamed, unphased.
Rolling his eyes, River resumed his quick march. He was clearly done entertaining the both of them. Bunbun waved as she trotted after him.
“Thanks again, Nanner! See you around!”
“No problem, Bunny!”
As they reached the hall, Bunbun decided to risk a question.
“So… uh… Riv?” She asked warily.
“Don’t call me that,” River groaned. “Nanner loves to give everyone nicknames. And talk. A lot.”
“And I’m guessing you’re… not much for conversation?” She ventured.
“Hit the nail on the head.” He fixed her with a withering look. “So can you take a hint?”
“I-I got it, I got it,” Bunbun replied meekly. Oh yeah. That’s a grump.
Admin was barely a stone’s throw from the cafeteria. First turn on the left from the door, and it was another well loved room. The carpet was tamped down tightly, the dull maroon only showing through a recent clean. The map was dark- offline for updates- and the card reader looked about as beat up as she’d expected. Three ancient computers sat along the wall. They were old models with screens made of green glass instead of holographic projections. The red chairs before them were an old old leather material, and had been patched up several times. One of the chairs was occupied. The crewmate didn’t seem to notice the two others hovering in the doorway.
“... Knock knock,” River said begrudgingly. “You’ve got visitors.”
At the sound of his voice, the crewmate glanced up from the screen, giving Bunbun a pretty good look. Xyr suit was purple, and about as worn as Captain Groud’s. Xyr round face was framed with dark, loose coils and dreads, cut off just below xyr chin. A smattering of starry white flecks was sprinkled over xyr hair. Xyr earthy skin had distinctive space travel stripes, albeit a little paler than one would expect. Dark, shining eyeshadow hooded charcoal eyes. Small golden rod earrings and a battered bandage completed xyr look, giving xem the mug of a well weathered space traveller. Xyr look of tired resignment warmed into a smile as xe took notice of Bunbun.
“Ah, there you are. I was wondering when you’d make your way here,” Xe chuckled, leaning back in xyr chair.
“Eheheh… yeah… sorry about the wait,” Bunbun replied softly. Xe held up Xyr hands in a placating gesture.
“No no, I get it. This bucket ‘a bolts has a lotta systems in dire need of updates,” Xe replied, “and some of em are better to hit first than others.” Standing up from xyr chair, xe set a hand on xyr hip. “You two gonna come in?”
“O-oh! Right- yeah-” Bunbun stammered, striding quickly through the doorway. River let her go first, sulking after her like a grumpy shadow. The other crewmate joined them by the map.
“Well, now that we’re all together-” xe held out a hand for Bun- “I might as well introduce myself. People ‘round the ship call me Silk. I’m the resident nav and comms expert.” Bunbun took xyr hand and gave it a gentle shake.
“I’m, um, Bunbun,” she replied, shifting in place. “I’m the new transfer- uh- I do, um, tech, electric, and janitorial tasks. I-it’s nice to meet you, Silk.”
“Likewise,” xe nodded. “I’m guessing we might not see too much of each other, but you’re always welcome to pop by my areas to say hello.” Xyr eyes trailed away from Bunbun’s face toward someone behind her. From the expectant raised brow, she got the distinct feeling that xe wasn’t exactly thrilled to see them. She saw River kicking at the carpet when she glanced back.
“Not even gonna greet me?” Silk asked, brow still raised.
“... Hey silk,” River mumbled. His hunched shoulders and skittering glance made him look like a kid in trouble. “... can we get this over with?”
“C’mon, being out of isolation can’t be that bad,” Silk joked. At Bunbun’s confused expression, xe waved a hand. I’ll tell you later, xyr face said. She just nodded hesitantly.
“Listen, I just wanna go back to cams, is that so much to ask?” River huffed.
“With that tone, maybe,” Silk pointed out. He crossed his arms, grumbling quietly, and settled himself along the wall. Xe gave him one last long look before turning back to Bunbun. “So, I reckon my map’s in need of a couple updates?”
“Er- yeah, just a couple,” Bunbun said. Glancing it over, she was pleased to see an absence of dust on its glassy green surface. The thing was old, yes, but it looked well cared for. “Do you have any ideas as to what needs fixed? I don’t, um, I don’t handle admin updates too often.”
“Of course. I’ll just let ya know what the other rooms need while I’m at it,” Silk replied, flicking a couple switches. The map slowly blinked to life, white lines snaking across a pale grid. The pale outlines flickered and flashed like a star fried sensor. The poor thing was barely even visible. Bunbun winced in sympathy.
“Oooh… yeah, someone needs to update the firewall,” she mumbled.
“That’s what I thought,” Silk sighed, giving the console a pat. “It’s been doin that for at least a week. The systems down at Comm and Nav are on the fritz too. It’s hard to get records transferred, retain messages, and get the course to stay stable without a babysitter.”
“You’ve certainly got your hands full here!” Bunbun remarked.
“Yeah, but there’s not too much to worry about,” xe waved a hand. “I’m the best they’ve got here, after all.”
“I bet!” She smiled shyly. Looking to the map, she tilted her head. There didn’t seem to be any pattern to its glitching. At least, nothing noticeable from a quick observation. Holding up her tablet, she got herself settled before it. The good and bad thing about old systems were the incredibly obvious tablet ports. For all she knew, someone could’ve uploaded a bug ages ago. Ah well. At least I know how to use a virtual flyswatter. “Well, I-I’ve been told I’m pretty good with tech… maybe I’m not the best out there, but I’ll do what I can to get this all sorted.”
“That’s much appreciated,” Silk sighed, giving her a pat on the back. “You take all the time you need.”
“Thanks,” Bunbun hummed. Straightening up, her eyes were already skimming the torrent of code. “Ok… one fixed map, cooooming up…”
===+===+===
The glitchy virus got itself caught in Bun’s web soon enough. She could isolate and neutralize code as easy as she breathed. Of course, dancing around the admin files was pretty fun. She had to have Silk help guide her hand when digging it out from xyr carefully organized system. But it worked out easily enough.
River didn’t pay the two any mind. He only moved when they did, following like the world’s grumpiest duckling. That seemed to suit Silk just fine. It worked well for Bunbun, too. They were free to swap stories like old friends. It was almost a little surprising. Walking in the halls was full of homely conversation. Fixing comm accompanied tales of their academy days. Swinging around to Nav let Silk introduce Bunbun to a couple friendly looking robots. She was impressed to learn Silk made them xemself. When xe sent the robots to distract River, xe took the opportunity to inform her why the man was so touchy. Stuck in a dead end job, he didn’t tend to get out of security much. Not of his free will, anyway. No matter how much mandatory bonding and karaoke nights Groud required. The mental image of River singing karaoke made Bunbun laugh enough that Silk had to rechart the course- the pink crewmate’s flapping hands accidentally slapped a couple buttons.
River was not nearly as amused.
===+===+===
When all was said and done, Bunbun set off with yet another jaunty wave and happy call. River was all but sprinting to their last stop. She didn’t bother to stick with him this time. The only task left was at a place she knew quite well.
Electrical.
In the absence of River’s quick thumping of footsteps, the SKELD halls were eerily quiet. The quiet hum of the shields made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. She eyed the nearby vent nervously as she wandered through the room. The vents are clear, she reassured herself. A glance at her tablet confirmed it. They’re clear. Passing by comm, the quiet radio static urged her to pick up her pace. Silk might have insisted it was quite safe, but she just… didn’t trust it. It was too quiet. Too far from the cams. Too isolated. The quiet creaking of full supply crates didn’t comfort her in storage, either. She just tried to keep her breathing even as she finished her trip to Electrical.
River stood outside the door, eyeing the entrance dubiously. Bunbun slowed to a stop beside him.
“Is… something wrong?” she asked nervously.
“Huh-? Uh, no, nothing’s wrong,” River said hastily. “It’s just a bit dark in there, that’s all.”
“... uh huh…” Bunbun hummed slowly. A peek through the doorway did confirm that the lights were dim. No dimmer than other ships, though. Just… dim enough to be slightly unnerving. Why in the world they were darkest in electrical of all places, Bunbun had no clue. It was a mystery she’d been meaning to take up with the SKELD designers for quite awhile. The upkick of dust and battered panels made it pretty clear the ship hadn’t had a proper electrician in awhile.
Not that it mattered now. She had to go in there.
Taking a slow breath, she strode towards the back of the room. She was nearly to the line of dusty old computers when she realized River wasn’t following. He was still standing by the door. Just watching. Her grip on her tablet shook gently. How many ways can I spell “suspicious...?”
“Are you… coming...?” She asked meekly.
“... nah,” River mumbled, shifting in place. “I’m good.”
“Aren’t you supposed to be keeping an eye on me?” she twittered. “What if I end up needing help?”
“I’m not an electrician. I’m a security guard. I can watch from here,” he replied flatly. “You’re not a fresh cadet. Figure it out.”
“R-right, right,” Bunbun replied. … right… it’s just a trip to electrical. Nothing I haven’t done before. She took a deep breath, adjusting her bandanna. The feel of fabric under her fingers was comforting. I can do this. Squaring her shoulders, she marched right to the back of the room. The light from the hall didn’t reach the quietly humming machinery. The flickering bulbs above didn’t give her much confidence. But she only had one task.
Swinging open the door to the calibrator, she was more than a little shocked. For starters, two of the rotating knobs seemed frozen in place. The top knob was the only one rotating lazily. A brief flash of yellow on the sensor strips was her only signal that anything was working at all. What in the milky way’s arms is going on here? She thought, baffled. Her brows furrowed as she shuffled through her old tech knowledge. In every modern ship she’d seen, all three of the knobs would spin in sync. Calibrating was as easy as just waiting for the sensor strips to flash and slapping a button. With old ships, tasks were often a little needlessly complicated. So… following this line of thinking…
Hesitantly, Bunbun raised a hand to the top knob. She watched it spin lazily, the yellow sensor light flashing and dimming as it aligned. One rotation… two… three… on the fourth, she finally tapped the button. A dull click left it frozen in an aligned position. With an unoiled squeak, the knob below it started spinning. The same pattern of flashing and dimming resumed, just a little faster. Bunbun let out a relieved sigh. Ok, yeah. She got it now. She just had to align them one by one. That, she could do.
===+===+===
After a few tries and some error, Bunbun smiled at the “plink!” of a task finished from her tablet. All three sensor strips glowed a triumphant yellow as she shut the panel.
“We’re all done here!” she called, heading back towards the doorway. “I think you’re-”
A sudden shuffling and the slap of boots on metal floor cut off the rest of her announcement. By the time she got to the door, she only managed to snatch a blur of blue slipping into storage. “... good to go…” she mumbled to herself. She stared at the empty hall silently for a minute.
He really doesn’t wait on anything, does he? She thought bleakly.
But hey. At least he’d moved away from the door instead of through it. She might’ve had more problems on her hands than walking alone to lunch.
Tucking her tablet under her arm, she started off towards the caf. The old halls were both familiar and strange. All SKELD ships looked the same, and yet… each was different. At least, in some respects. She wondered if she’d spend the same brief time on this one as she had on every other SKELD. Her mind wandered quietly as she passed through storage.
Though, the closer she got to the caf, the more she heard voices. The friendly sort of voices. Hesitating in the doorway let her see who they belonged to. Spread among the tables were all her crewmates. Lemon and Junior were chatting happily with Nanner at the table closest on the left. Laser and Rose were holding hands at the closest right table as they munched on their food. Silk and Groud were watching contentedly from the middle table, with River occupying a table on his own in the back. They were certainly a lively looking bunch. But the atmosphere in the room was warm. Warm and friendly.
Bunbun felt a smile rise to her cheeks as she stepped into the room. Several of her crewmates greeted her, Nanner and Lemon excitedly waving her over to their table. One or two days in, and her fellows were already treating her like family. Her grin widened as she plopped down, happy to dig in to a fresh PBJ and a slew of conversation.
Yeah. She could get used to this SKELD.
She really hoped she’d stay for awhile.

cONGRATS ON 500, you deserve it more than anyone😪 and 9 with actress reader girlfriend, i beg you maam <33
AHHH THANKUUU, i didn’t know with number 9 so i just did both oops :)))
Dialogue prompts 9 = "You're the best thing that's ever happened to me"
Kissing prompts 9 = Continued kiss, even after the director yells "cut!"
request something to celebrate my 500 followers!!! (but pls tell me what prompt list its from 🤍)
****okay so just pretend that tom and y/n are in something like the love actually ending bit at the airport which also just happens to be the last scene they shooting which ik is completely unrealistic*****
summary: change is scary and it makes you question the realistic future you and tom have
/////////////////
The atmosphere on the lot was almost electric. It had been a long time coming, three months of filming, but here the two young stars were - stood in the mock up set of Heathrow terminal 2. All cast and crew were buzzing, closing a project was such a moment, a pat on the back. And hell, there would be celebrations and a half this evening.
In fact they’d been on this ‘last shot’ for the past two and a half hours, even if the actual footage would most likely make up barely 50 seconds of the films runtime. But then, thats Hollywood.
“Alright guys one last time for me-“ The collective around the director all sighed and rolled their eyes, because this director had a talent for saying ‘ last one’ and meaning twenty more. “Nono!” He laughed, hopping from foot to foot “I’m serious about this! Y/n, Tom this is it, I want all that emotion right?”
Tom responded with a serious and professional nod, whilst you struggled just a little bit more - taking a long shaky exhale. Not that Jon knew, but you were already almost flooded with emotion. Today was a big day.
This job had given you something extra special, something above and beyond a new experience and memories. It had given you the most amazing time with one of the most extraordinary individuals you’d ever met. It had brought you a home away from home, it had brought you Tom. Yes, it may only have been 2 and a bit months - but that didn’t make the feelings any less real or intense for either of you.
Hence why the directors orders of emotion where a waste of breath. You were feeling it all- terrified, excited but mainly apprehensive.
There was a reason your love life had been so pathetically tragic before Tom- dating as an actor was hard. The invasion of privacy, the constant moving about - it was impossible when one half of the relationship was in that position. So what was the future prospects like when the both of you were in the prime of your careers? Not a fucking lot.
“Right, on your marks please.” The directors orders distracted you from the never ending runaway train of thought, with a nod hurrying round the back of the corridor, ready to walk out onto the concourse as ‘Manasi’ one last time.
The scene was a simple one, you come out with your luggage- running to hug ‘ Adam’ or Tom; jump and kiss him like hes the last person on earth. Although this was supposed to be the long awaited reunion between the two fictitious characters, what it felt more like was the real goodbye between you and Tom. And that hurt.
So as the clapperboard snapped, signalling it was time for Manasi to round the corner with an excited smile, you checked yourself for a second.
You could do this.
Rounding the corner, your eyes scanned over the sea of extras, skilfully missing the massive camera shoved close to your face. As soon as you locked eyes with TomAdam, everything else melted away. Without thinking, your legs started sprinting towards the young man, who had the biggest grin on his face and opened his arms. Forcefully, you jumped into his strong embrace, tightly wrapping legs round the back of his thighs.
No words were needed or scripted, as you arched back with either hand cupping his sharp jaw line. There were tears blurring your vision but his warm brown eyes were crystal clear as you leaned toward him, momentarily nuzzling your nose against the side of his before delicately pressing his lips against yours.
It all felt so intense, this never-ending rush and heart-dropping moment as the two of you moved in sync - not over the top or cringey. Just pure care, pure love and pure happiness as the two of you melted together.
Everything just worked. It was almost dizzying, the way the whole world seemed for fizzle out, suddenly the scenario was so non-existent.
Intoxicating was what it was, so much so though you heard the director calling ‘cut’ your brain chose not to listen. Desperately you held onto the moment with TomAdam for as long as possible, till Tom arched away, a breathy chuckle escaping his lips as he watched you try and chase him backwards.
That was until he noticed the way your eyes shone more than usual, the glint of the lights hitting the build up of tears. Instinctively he grabbed your hand and pulled you behind the corridor bit for privacy- not that anyone would’ve noticed, the crew were all to busy jumping around and cheering the completion of the shoot. And it was a cause for celebration, the project had been a little gruelling and it was a massive accomplishment to get to the end. But thats what scared you - the end.
“Hey what’s going on in that funny little head of yours lovie?” His voice was gravely and hushed as his thumb swiped just under your eyelashes, catching a lone droplet that escaped.
“I don’t want this to end.”
“ The shoot or…” He was insinuating the end of your relationship but it didn’t matter, the answer to both of those questions was yes.
Because they kind of felt one and the same. How likely was it you and Tom would be able to maintain romance on opposite sides of the world? At least when you were both tied in by contract to this specific location, it was possible. The two of you were possible.
So you only replied with a jerky nod, which made Tom let out a sharp exhale, before now cupping both your cheeks with his large and slightly rough palms.
“Heyheyhey look at me darling-“ Dragging your eye line up with a gulp, you were then transfixed into his mahogany brown irises, with little flicks of red and black. “You are the best thing thats ever happened to me. We’re going to be fine.”
“It’s easy to say that bu-“
“I’m saying it cos I know it!” He answered without missing a beat. “I love you and thats it. You’re it, okay?” Now your tears were freely spilling but they were happy tears - tears of ‘what the hell had you done to deserve the boy in front of you’. Only able to reply in a whisper because of the overtaking emotion, you just uttered 4 simple words.
“I love you too.”
His lips were on yours again but this time it was different. It wasn’t your characters reuniting in a kiss, it was the two of you, fears and worries exposed, being together. His lips moved slowly against yours because there was no rush.
You had all the time in the world with Tom.
~~let me know what u think, feedback means the world <333~~

tw : death, a fire
✧ . part 1: kang jinah.
adora seo, born as kang jinah, grew up in poverty. her mother’s pregnancy had been one outside of wedlock, meaning her family disowned her as soon as the news came out
after living on the streets / having temporary accommodations on & off for the next couple of years, jinah’s mother was able to get a job as a housekeeper for this vv rich couple
the seo family lived on a vv lavish & spacious estate on the countryside, completely separated from any type of life
they lived in their own little world, as they had to drive nearly 45 min to reach the nearest town
this also meant that when jinah’s mother started working there her daughter was allowed to stay in the staff quarters as well
mr. & mrs. seo were super fond of jinah, as she reminded them of their own daughter, adora
honestly adora didn’t really like jinah as adora was a spoiled brat & didn’t enjoy sharing part of the spotlights with some random child
her mother worked hard to earn her place in that house, while jinah was mainly there to entertain adora. they would get homeschooled together, whenever adora wanted to play outside jinah had to tag along & carry all her toys, & whenever jinah was free she tended to help her mother out as well with whatever she was working on
despite all of this jinah had a fairly nice childhood, spending every free moment outside in the forest next to the mansion
which ! ultimately saved her life
after one particular night of adora being super nasty n mean to her, jinah couldn’t go back to bed so she decided to sneak out & go to her hideout spot in the forest, next to a creek
when she returned a few hours later, just wanting to go back to bed, she honestly got the surprise of her life when the mansion was burning down
she fainted </3 she just remembers panicking & being woken up by paramedics who had taken her to a hospital, & when she asked them where her mother was they told her mrs. seo hadn’t survived the fire, & everything will be okay adora
she never corrected them
✧ . part 2: adora seo.
the fire had been a disaster to a point where no one inside the house had survived & the bodies had been beyond identifiable with the resources they had back then ( not to mention lazy work from authorities ) meaning jinah, now adora, inherited a whole lot of money without anyone even questioning her identity
they honestly didn’t have any reason to do so either as the seo family had no relatives left, they’d been secluded all these years, & her and adora were the exact same age
everyone felt really bad for her, she kinda made headlines as a ‘ wonder child ’ for surviving such a tragedy, & got to live with extended family of the seo’s in new york city
it was surprisingly easy, honestly, how quickly she got used to being adora. she got.. really pampered by all the people surrounding her because they pitied her, & that being the first time she got any real attention / love from adults... she wasn’t going to tell them she was lying to them all HDFJKDFGJFKDFJK so she just stayed quiet, avoided eye contact whenever she met people who’d seen adora as a baby, & grew up surrounded by socialites
honestly !!!!! the hardest part out of all of this ( for her ) was how she couldn’t find any information on her mother as everyone just kept talking about the seo’s 😔 she never got any closure when it comes to her mother’s death
✧ . part 3: bambi.
ok so adora grew up, was lowkey a golden child as she didn’t like talking to people so she just focused on her work, aka she got things done <333 & lived a vv good life
in college she met enzo at some local coffee shop, who had been working with j by then
there was this guy in front of her basically excusing himself bc he forgot his wallet at home & she overheard and was like .. oh ! let me pay for him ! and basically he insisted on repaying her with a date & she said yes & then they slowly but surely fell in love <333
their relationship was an overall good one !! he really helped her come out of her shell, while she gave him a safe haven as his family life wasn’t the best
it wasn’t until one night she overheard him having a phonecall with j that she grew suspicious, thinking he’d been cheating on her, & basically demanded for him to explain himself
he confessed he’s been working with this person for crime related stuff, how he was of great use for them, & that adora was welcome to meet j if she wanted to
she was honestly super upset & ready to break up with him, but he basically begged her to stay by reminding her how they promised to be each other’s ride or die, & only then she reluctantly agreed to the meet up
but honestly the moment they met she realized well enough she already knew too much & that there was no way out
working along with the 2017 heist was a vv surreal experience for her, even though her job was relatively easy
a couple of weeks before the heist was supposed to take place adora & enzo got into a big fight
basically she begged for them to just run away & forget about j and the others, vv aware of the risks, & that she had enough money for the two of them to live a comfortable life elsewhere
but he basically told her that j would always be his top priority
she was kinda pissed & baffled so she broke up with him that night
they decided not to tell the crew ( kinda planning on talking it out as soon as the heist was over ) as they didn’t want to cause any type of distraction when tensions were already running high
but honestly she was ready to leave after the heist, already having plane tickets to disappear somewhere in europe
so .. when that night went horribly wrong & enzo died, she was kinda like :/ ok guess i can’t take my flight to anymore..
once again when people broke down the news to her, she didn’t correct anyone & played her role as enzo’s grieving girlfriend vv well
basically she told alec she was planning on leaving a couple of days later ( as he was one of her closer friends at the time ) and he basically was like .. yea no ur not i know who u are & basically she’s .. being blackmailed into doing the 2020 heist out of fear of alec telling j that she’s been lying about her identity all along
like she really doesn’t want to die QJHDJSJDFDKS
* / 𝖉𝖎𝖌 𝖉𝖊𝖊𝖕𝖊𝖗 ; 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲
she’s overall a nice person !! she doesn’t want to be there & sometimes it shows but she tries to make the most out of it <333
not to mention that she does her job really well like .. once she focuses on something she needs to make sure everything’s going perfect
kinda emotionally constipated
kinda smart
she’s honestly your stereotypical capricorn this is sick .. ( i’m not talking about you veer i love you 🥺 )
she’s reliable & loyal though !! adora’s observant & knows a Lot about people but she always keeps things to herself
ok .. this is it for now .. lets plot aha <3 🙈
#nocte:intro#im so sorry this took me so long i was literally thinking of different ways to write this without sounding delulu#FHJDFFJGKFDSQ#anyways here we go 🥺

highschool!jeno
repost !! if you’re reading this and think it seems familiar that's because you’ve already read it <3
word count: 7.1k
a/n: this gif is so god damn CUTE im losing it anyways we’re breaking this accs fic virginity with one of my favs <333
warnings: underage drinking, some k*sses
lets start on the first day of school back from winter break
it’s cold as h*ck outside and you didn’t wear enough layers because ya know how cold could it be ??
the answer is: VERY COLD
you pull up to school and park next to donghyuck and immediately launch yourself into his car
it has seat warmers and you’re tryna get IN on that action
you’ve been friends with donghyuck and renjun since kindergarten when i tell you these boys have seen you at your WORST
you’ve recently adopted chenle as the youngest member of the Crew since he hates everyone in his grade lmao
prince chenle please have mercy on the plebeians :(((
anyways you’re in hyuckie’s car and shivering and he doesn’t even flinch when you get in bc this is a common occurrence
and then, like clockwork, renjun catapults into the backseat followed by chenle and they start shivering too
basically everyone is cold except donghyuck and he looks SMUG
and then chenle is like u guys !!! my bestie jisung says there’s a new kid today !!!! let’s befriend him !!!!!!!!!!!!
and you’re all like , who the hell is jisung
chenle explains in great detail how him and jisung both share a love for making fun of jisung’s senior friend, mark, and that they are now Best Friends Forever
renjun is lowkey insulted that his Son didn’t tell him but it’s okay
anyways you tell him to invite his other friends + new kid to come sit with you guys at lunch if it’s That Deep and chenle squeals and bounces in his seat
absolute Baby Boy
before you go inside you sprint across the lot to fling yourself into lucas’s car and beg him for a sweater since you know he leaves like 5 Big Ones in his car at all times
lucas is sort of the Big Irresponsible Brother of the group and he isn’t as close with y’all but he’ll come hang out and make terrible jokes and laugh really hard at them
and he’s very weirdly protective over you guys ?? like he’s a goofy boy but if someone looks at one of you wrong ???
he’s suddenly a Big Man On The Block and he’ll look all intimidating and scary
u know he could do it if he really wanted to
he puts up a valiant effort to ignore you since he knows it takes WEEKS for the sweater to be returned
but you pout and latch on to his arm and he sighs and shakes you off and goes uGH fine
you smile and thank him and call him lukie and he lunges for you as you yeet out of the car with sweater in hand
you squeak when you almost run face first into lucas’s friend mark’s shoulder during your Big Escape
you’ve always,,,, lowkey thought he was cute but he’s also older than you and Out Of Your League so :/
also your only connection is thru lucas and that’s a slippery slope my g
you’re still friendly though so he when he makes a surprised face you both giggle and then wave as you head to school and he opens the door to ask lucas if he’s finished their partner powerpoint
lucas has not
obviously
you vaguely know the boys in lucas’s friend group but all you really know about jisung is through chenle and you know next to nothing about jaemin other than he’s pretty
because,,,,, everyone knows that
okay so you head to first period and unfortunately you don’t have that class with any of your Buddies
you go in and take your usual seat by the window since history is a whole snooze fest and you like to watch the clouds outside
you like the teacher though so you take it every year anyways
you’re curled up in the seat since you’re still cold and your chin rests on your knees as you count how many birds are in a flock that’s circling around
and then you hear the quiet murmuring of the class raise to more of a commotion and bring your attention back to the indoors
the teacher, Mr.Choi, has just led in a new boy and
holy shit he is beautIFUL
he’s a few inches taller than you and has a somewhat athletic build
and those are nice and all but your favorite thing has got to be his smile
his whole face seems to emit sunshine when he smiles , albeit nervously
and his eyes turn up into little half moons even while he flicks a piece of dark hair out of his eyes
uwu such a CUTIE
mr.choi introduces him to the class and his name is lee jeno !!!
you’re still curled up as his eyes start to scan the room and they fall on you
his lips quirk a little in what you assume is amusement at your position and ridiculously oversized sweater
you blush and try to quickly change position to sit like a Normal Good Student
but end up banging your knee on the desk and cursing under your breath and turning even more red
he ducks his head bashfully and then makes his way to his seat which is ,,,, the one next to you
NICE ONE M8
everyone starts getting their stuff out and jeno leans over and whispers to ask if your knee is okay
such a sweet boy :(
you can barely look at him when you nod and he smiles again and you almost mELT INTO A PUDDLE
he goes back to his supplies and you both wait for the teacher to start the lesson
you try to focus you really do but your head wanders off and soon you’re daydreaming of bouncing on clouds and being able to speak to animals and other impossible things
you jump when jeno taps you on the shoulder
“hey? um the bell rang ,,,, and also i think you um missed the notes so if you want a picture of mine you can have one”
“oh my goHSH i’m so sorry i’ve really gotta stop doing that thank you so much !”
you snap a quick picture of his notes and thank him again before rushing off to your next class
about 5 steps out the door you hear jeno stumble out behind you
“wait ! you never told me your name !! ......and also i don’t know where my next class is”
your lips press together to keep from giggling so that he doesn’t think you’re making fun of him
you hold out your hand for his schedule and tell him your name
bUT he thinks you’re going for a handshake so he grasps your hand with his large and calloused one
you sQUEAK ALOUD
and he whips his hand back in fear that he’s hurt you or something
“oh um ? oh my god i’m sorry did i hurt you ???”
“no !!! i was just surprised ??!:&;&”
“that i , shook your hand ?”
“i mean i was holding it out for your schedule”
“oh . yikes”
“it’s okay though ! i shouldn’t have been surprised shaking hands is a uh normal thing isn’t it”
“yeah ,,, haha”
and then the late bell rings and you both jump
you pluck his schedule off the ground where he had previously dropped it in his haste to pull his hand from yours
you unthinkingly grab his wrist and pull him in the direction of his next class and practically push him into the classroom before rushing to your class
your math teacher is Strict and will def be getting onto you for being late :/
the rest of the day passes normally except your usual daydreams are interrupted by one Soft Boy
it’s finally fINALLY time for lunch though thank you god
you meet donghyuck and renjun at your usual spot outside
you guys pretty much sit out there every single day no matter the weather unless there’s like monsoon or smth
you squish up close to hyuck and try to get warm while you wait for chenle and apparently all of his friends that he’s bringing
soon enough, you spot him excitedly dragging a fond looking jisung followed by lucas and mark who are even fonder looking
just behind them is jaemin who is cracking a joke to none other than the New Boy
you panic. because oh no you definitely uhh embarrassed yourself earlier ????
but it’s too late to back out now
just to be sure though you straighten up so you’re not too close to hyuck
cANT HAVE HIM THINKING YOURE NOt COMPLETELY SINGLE AND AVAILABLE
chenle and jisung plop down across from renjun and lucas swings a leg over the bench so his back faces you and then leans all his weight on you
“ouch you OAF get off of me you’re like a million pounds”
“a million pounds of pure muscle baby hell ye”
mark smacks the leg on the outside of the bench so he’ll sit normally and sits on his other side after giving you a wave
jaemin hooks his arm around jeno and proudly introduces him to the group
jeno smiles his smile , y’all know the one
and he waves
when he catches your eye though his smile somehow gets even brighter
“oh y/n ! hey !!! did you make it to second period okay ?”
“oh um yeah? i mean i was late and mrs.park gave me an extra homework assignment but it’s fine”
“oh gOD i’m so sorry do you want me to do it for you ?? i feel so bad”
“no no it’s fine i need the practice it’s okay really”
and then you both pause and realize everyone is staring at you
yikes
jeno explains how you two already met that morning and the boys seem appeased even though donghyuck eyes you slyly
he mouths that you’ll be discussing this with him later rip you
jeno ends up sitting across from you and you do your best not to stare at him but he’s in your diRECT line of sight
you have a habit of absentmindedly kicking your feet and just moving them around and you accidentally brush his shins and ankles multiple times
he waves you off everytime you apologize
the whole of lunch is spent basically merging the two groups
everyone settles into their roles pretty easily and you wonder why there are literally no other females except you
but then you realize why when lucas starts attempting to burp the abc’s and almost barfs :))))))))))
you whine and cover your eyes because like other people barfing makes yOU feel sick and then everyone is sick and that is Not Good
you push yourself as close to donghyuck and as far away from him as possible as everyone goes NO NO STOP NO
he stops when everyone starts yelling at him lmao
once he stops and you peek an eye open you smack him and huff and kick your legs out, hitting jeno’s shins once again
“jesus y/n he just got here and you’re already bruISING HIM”
“ IM SORRY ITS A BAD HABIT DJFJ”
jeno just reaches across the table and pats your forearm and tells you not to worry about it
“i play soccer you guys my shins are made of STEEL”
okay also there goes your last shred of self restraint soccer players are everyone’s weakness and you cANT TELL ME OTHERWISE
also he just ???? patted your forearm like it was nothing this boy is just asking for it isn’t he
the rest of the day passes pretty quickly and throughout the week you get back into the swing of things at school
jeno has literature with you later in the day and sits by you and giggles while you tell him about how much the teacher looks like sully from monsters ink
to be fair the guy is a gentle giant but he’s really large and rather hairy so
what did he expect
jeno seamlessly fits in with your group of friends it’s almost like he was always there
a lot of the boys sometimes forget he wasn’t n they’re like hEY remember when-
and he’s like uh no i do not lol
unfortunately jeno arrived too late to join the soccer team with mark and jaemin bUT that doesn’t stop him from joining you all in going to support them
every week the whole lot of you either attend the home game or follow the team bus to wherever the away game is
usually you have to split between 2 cars since even without mark and jaemin there’s 7 of you
and no one owns a minivan or would like to so
usually renjun and lucas drive
lucas, contrary to popular belief, is actually a really good driver as long as chenle is not in the car
the two of them are entirely too excitable to be in a confined space together
during one of the last games of the season it’s really REALLY cold
you rode with lucas and donghyuck called shotgun so you and jeno sat in the back and renjun brought chenle and jisung
on the way there your nose was running just a tad so you were sniffling every once in awhile
jeno kept offering you his gloves and hand warmers but you insisted you were fine and that this happens every year when it gets cold at soccer games
you don’t protest though when you arrive and he wordlessly removes his beanie and pulls it down over your head, making sure your ears are covered
your cheeks turn as red as the tip of your nose and now you’re not so sure you needed the extra warmth at all
he blushes a little too and quickly scurries away to the bleachers ejjdj
you stack your arms high with blankets from the trunk to sit on and wrap yourselves in
cold metal bleachers are no bueno
you wobble up the steps as chenle and jisung bound ahead of you and lucas walks behind you to make sure you don’t trip and die
he’s caring when he wants to be uwu
jeno takes some off your pile when you get to the spot he reserved for the Gang and spreads them across the seats
you distribute the rest amongst you and huddle together for warmth while you wait for the game to start
donghyuck is seen silently threatening chenle and jisung with his eyes when they move to sit on either side of you and then sending a sugary sweet smile to jeno and beckoning him to sit next to you
chenle and jisung squish together on your other side and lucas sits between renjun and chenle,,,, theyre lowkey his favorites
donghyuck pouts about sitting on the edge but is appeased when mark and jaemin come out onto the field and mark waves and blows him a kiss
boy turned redder than his hair but didn’t miss the chance to catch the air kiss and smack it onto his cheek
jeno has left a few inches of space between you as a Common Courtesy i guess but really no one would mind if he just ,,, scooched on over
as the game progresses the both of you lose the tension in your shoulders until eventually you’re pressed up against his side just as much as jisung is trying to leech warmth from your other side
everytime one of your buddies scores or assists or does literally anything you all simultaneously stand up and SCREAM
one of these times you stand up and open your mouth to scream only to sneeze violently lol
like the kind where you try to hold it back and it comes out as a squeak but the force shakes your body and you do a little jump
jeno stops cheering to place a hand on the middle of your back and stoops to meet your eyes
he asks if you’re okay through sporadic chuckles because it was kind of funny
and you nod and shove his shoulder and tell him to stop laughing >:(
you dramatically turn away from him and cross your arms and he laughs even harder
he circles his fingers around your wrist and pulls you to face him and his laughing is only renewed by the pout on your face
“aw cmon it was funny!!!”
“what if i’m DYING jeno ???”
“you aren’t though”
“how would yOU know >:(“
“it was one sneeze, sugar”
“don’t call me sugar when i’m trying to be mad”
“okay, sugar”
you smack his shoulder lightly and he bursts into laughter and swings his arm around you pulling you into his side
you blush but do your best not to stiffen and make the moment awkward
so instead you go limp and let your cheek squish against his leather jacket before he lets you go just in time for your whole group to sit down
would’ve been awkward if y’all were just embracing while everyone else was seated lmao
you spend the rest of the game trying to forget about how easily he pulled you into him and how you wouldn’t mind staying right there tucked under his arms with your sides pressed together
the both of you settle for just sitting close enough that the side of your thigh is pressed against his
when the game ends you all go out onto the field to congratulate mark and jaemin on the win !!
you hug them both even though jaemin tries to wipe his sweat on you that SHIT
he raises an eyebrow at the black beanie still tucked onto your head and right at that moment jeno reaches across your huddle of friends to tug it back down over the red tips of your ears
jaemin’s eyebrows raise even more at that and you just shrug and smile sheepishly
then everyone piles into their respective vehicles and sets off for home
it’s pretty late at night and screaming and shivering is rather energy draining
before you know it jeno has flopped over with his head in your lap and the rest of him stretched across the backseat as much as he can
you’re too sleepy and warmed up by both his actions and the car’s heating system to question it
so you just run your fingers through his hair
it’s unsurprisingly very soft and silky and he seems to enjoy your actions GREATLY
not long after you start his breaths even out and his hands come up to wrap around the part of your thigh just above your knee
he nuzzles the side of his face into your leg in his sleep and even Half Conscious Y/n is kind of shocked and blushy but continues to pet him
lucas eyes you both in the rear view mirror and smiles fondly oof
“is he cuddling your leg back there y/n?”
“yeah it’s okay though, it’s ,,,,,,,,, cute”
“isn’t it? he’s always been cuddly, almost like a cat”
you mumble a little yeah and return your attention to the sleeping boy in your lap
when you get home lucas drops you off last so as not to wake jeno too early
but eventually you gotta so you tug on his hair a little and poke his cheek but he only grips you tighter
“hey. jeno !!! kitty cat !!!!!!! wake UP !!!!!”
“you’re being too gentle he requires a Forceful Awakening”
and then lucas reaches back to pinch him hard or something but you wave your hands around and whisper shout nO
can’t hurt the bby :(
your last resort is pressing your cold hand that hadn’t been in his hair against his neck and he jolts and his eyes flick open
then his face scrunches and he shoos your hand away from him
“alright alrIGHT i’m up”
he sits up and looks absolutely fucking aDORABLE with his hair all fluffy and sticking up
his eyes are only half open and he stretches before realizing he is home and thanking you both
he pulls you into a sleepy and sort of awkward hug since the backseat isn’t Ideal for affection but you appreciate it nonetheless and pat his back
him and lucas do some sort of bro handshake and then you watch him shuffle to his front door
you climb into the front seat because opening the door and letting cold air in is the Phattest Mistake Ever
lucas smirks and you smack him before he can even say anything
“i dIdNt EvEn SaY aNyThInG”
“ and you will continue doing so”
“okay but you guys were pretty cozy back there huh?”
“what’s it to u”
“and that seems to be his beanie on your head , isn’t it?”
“wHATS IT TO U”
he shakes his head and laughs and drives you home
you thank him despite him being The Worst and hug him
you also make him swear not to tell anyone when your elbow bumped into the horn and you screamed
when you make it into your room you change into comfy clothes sluggishly and practically fall onto your bed
you cover your face with your hands and try to pretend like you aren’t smiling REALLY hard right now but you’re fooling a grand total of no one
it’s a friday night so the next morning you let yourself sleep in as much as you can stand
you make pancakes while pointedly ignoring all the texts from donghyuck when you notice the subject of all of them appears to be jeno
lucas has everyone’s numbers and makes a big group message because he just fckin loves chaos i guess
he sends a hopelessly typo filled text about there being a party that night and since he’s invited you’re ALL invited
and okay you’re no stranger to parties but like jisung and chenle are innocent babies
and you’ve got no idea what jeno is comfortable with since you all literally met him just a couple of weeks ago
you eventually respond to hyuck’s long and almost illegible texts with just “no.” and tell lucas you’ll go if only to make sure no one dies
you get called lame and a mom for that one :/
fast forward to this party
you’re wearing cute clothes but also it’s cold so like , cute sweater and jeans hehe
you’ve designated yourself and chenle as Designated Drivers
1:your anxiety wont allow you to get drunk since you’ll be unable to take care of Your Boys
2: chenle is almost unbearable sober , so
you’ve got jeno in the passenger seat and the rest of 00 line squished together in the back while chenle drives The Fossils and jisung
you pull up and the party is ,,,,,, really fucking big
there are entirely too many people here for your tastes but the boys spill out of your car with excited whoops when you FINALLY find a parking spot so
u gotta stay homie :/
you walk in behind them more sedately while chenle excitedly clings to yukhei’s back
you shout at him to watch his head just in time for him to dodge the door frame when yukhei does an excited lil jump
he smiles sheepishly at you and then shouts ONWARD MIGHTY STEED as his “steed” thunders into the crowd of people
you can already tell you’re going to have a difficult time with this since chenle is No Help Whatsoever
you’ve lost whoever was with chenle and jaemin has already flirted some poor soul into making him drinks
jeno is clinging to jaemin and looking around in nervous wonder since he knows absolutely no one here
donghyuck has challenged a Giant College Boy to beer pong and is ,,,,,, winning
renjun is cheering at the side and you decide to go join them
renjun leans over and is all so u just gonna let jaemin steal ur man like that ?????
you smack his already drunk ass (renjun sCREAMS lightweight) and tell him jeno is Not Your Man
he doesn’t have to know that you wish he was :////
so you hang out with hyuck and renjun until they’re both too annoying to stand and you go try to hunt down jaemin and jeno
to make sure jaemin isn’t pressuring jeno into anything
not that jaemin would get him into BAD things per say
he’s just a persuasive person and you don’t want jeno to get stuck in seven minutes in heaven with some random girl or too drunk to walk a straight line
if anything he should get stuck in seven minutes in heaven with you !!! >:(((((((
you find him perched on the arm of the couch in the living room with jaemin nowhere to be seen
he’s literally just smiling serenely at nothing while two younger boys (hey look it’s jisung and chenle) poke each other without tearing their eyes away from the screen
because god damn it chenle refuses to lose to a drunk jisung at mario kart
you tap him on the shoulder and he turns to look at you and his whole face just lights up ????
he smiles so big and gasps excitedly and his eyes do the scrunchy thing uwu
you’re about to playfully pinch his cheek and ask him if he’s doing okay but like
he literally snatches you by the waist and pulls you between his legs and presses his face into the soft part of your neck where it meets your shoulder
you turn red and your heart goes baduMBADUMBADUMBADUM
he doesn’t even notice or if he does he doesn’t say anything ???
your hands fall to his shoulders and try to gently pry him off but his grip only tightens
“ouch oUCH jeno you’re crushing my organs”
he immediately loosens his grip and tilts his head back to look up at you
“ ‘m sorry, pretty”
“did you just call me pretty”
“well you are”
“i am what?”
he giggles and knocks his nose into your chin
“you’re pretty !!! silly y/n hhehsheehhe”
“oKAY you are very drunk aren’t you?”
“mmhmm :)))))))”
“alright, time to gather the Gang and head home. wait here and DO NOT MOVE okay ?”
he doesn’t acknowledge you and just rests his forehead back on your shoulder
you go to find the rest of your probably very drunk friends but jeno ,,,,, doesn’t let go
you turn around in his grip and try to push off the couch to get him to let go but he is VERY STRONG
and refuses to let go
you’re very torn because being held by jeno ??? absolute 10/10
but also you want to leave ?? and he won’t ??? let you ???? find the boys ??????
“jeno, sweetheart, you gotta let me go”
“noooooo but you’re so soft and u smell good n ur so prettyyy :(“
“god why are you so cUTE drunk?”
“ ‘m cute all the time, babe”
“and very flirty apparently”
“ i mean all of it !!!! ‘s not just because i’m drunk i promise !!!!!!”
“okay okay i believe you but you gotta let me go find our friends so we can get you home”
“i don’t wanna leave :(((( ‘m gonna miss you”
you literally have to put a hand over your heart because that’s so fucking adorable
“okay what if everyone comes over and hangs out at my house hm? i won’t be gone for long”
“okay ,,,, can i come with you though?”
“yes ???? everyone is coming to my house??”
“nO you’re so silly omg i mean to find everyone”
“yes now let go”
you go to move away and instead he just stands up still wrapped around you from behind
at this point you’ve done everything you can so you just let him be
you walk around the party and snatch up every one of your Sons Even Though A Lot Are Older And Bigger Than You and corral them out to their respective transportation
you make sure chenle knows to bring them back to your house since your parents are out of town on vacation (without u ,,, :/ )
and you get lucas to pry jeno off of you and place him in the passenger seat
even drunk and giggly he is Strong Man
you climb in the car and tell hyuck to Shut Up and jaemin to stop trying to make renjun sit in his lap
jeno reaches across and immediately latches onto the hand closest to him
you’ve decided to just accept his excessive affection for the night tbh
i mean , it’s not like u hate it or anything ,,,
but you still pretend like it’s a hassle for the sake of your dignity and jiggle your arm a little in his grip as a half hearted attempt to get him to let go
instead he lifts your hand to his mouth and kisses it and then smiles at you really wide
you turn RED and start the drive home as quickly as possible so you can Focus On The Road
when you pull in renminhyuck excitedly run towards your front door while you extract your hand from jenos and get out of the car
he follows you and tangles your fingers together as you walk to the front door
drunk renjun is even more excited than before and is like aRe YoU gUyS dAtInG nO w ??:$&;&(
jeno bounces up and down next to you and then goes
“aw can we ??? :)))) please ???”
you splutter and just drag him past the others to unlock your front door
“alright find yourself a place to sleep that is NOT my bed or my parents bed and lay down there. i will bring pillows and blankets,,,,,,, and medicine for in the morning”
after like 45 seconds of protesting that they aren’t tired renjun knocks out curled up in an armchair and jaemin and donghyuck decide to build a pile of pillows to sleep on
they look super cute all curled up together :((((((
chenle arrives not much later dragging along jisung by the hand
mark and lucas stumble in not long after giggling
mark sees hyuckie curled up with jaemin and let’s out a scandalized gasp before literally picking him up bridal style and depositing them both on the couch
donghyuck wakes up (“mark~~ i missed u”) and proceeds press himself against marks side and fall back asleep
jisung and chenle join a Cuddly Even In His Sleep jaemin and lucas climbs in your parents bed
you are entirely too tired to stop him and he’s too heavy to move so you just leave him
jeno has disappeared and you have your suspicions ,,,,
they are confirmed when you enter your room and he’s perched on the edge of your bed looking like he fell asleep sitting up
at the click of your door opening he perks up and when he sees it’s you he lifts his hands towards you and makes grabby fingers :((((((
BABY
“ i have a feeling once i do that you will not let me go so ,,,, i’m gonna change first okay? do you want to borrow some sleep clothes?”
“heheHeh yes pls love u”
you smile and shake your head before handing him a pair of your sweatpants
because honestly they’re big on you and he’s ,,,,,,
got a flat ass so he’ll fit in them
he starts to take off his jeans and you’re like nO NO WAIT TIL I LEAVE TO CHANGE DHDJKF
you snatch up a big t shirt and leggings and dash to the bathroom across the hall
you splash water on your face so that you’ll actually believe that this night really fuckinh happened oh my god
you slowly change into your pajamas and then creep back across the hall, hoping jeno fell asleep already so you won’t have to face him like this
he’s being so soft and affectionate and ngl it’s scary that when he wakes up he might not remember
or he might remember and want to pretend it never happened :((((
but nonetheless might as well enjoy what ya got while ya got it
he’s awake and sitting in the middle of your bed now, cross legged and drawing circles in with his fingers into your comforter
his head lifts and he smiles again and reaches for you , again
this time you let him and come close enough to reach him and hold out your hand
he grabs it and pulls you ,,,, on top of him
he genuinely just lays back and takes you with him so you’re laying on his chest and your legs are tangled with his
he grabs your other hand places them both on his own shoulders before dropping his arms to wrap around your rib cage
“jeno please i don’t want to crush you”
“hey you could never !!! im a big boy in strong enough >:(“
“i never said you weren’t but we cannot sleep like this”
“says who? :(“
“says me”
he rolls the two of you over so he’s now half on top of and rests his head over your heart
“how about this?”
he says it a little too smugly so you pinch his cheek before settling down to sleep
you wrap one arm around his shoulders and your other hand naturally comes down to rest on his forearm that’s laid across your waist
“jeno?”
“yeah babe?”
you pause at that to inhale deeply because good christ he is going to be the death of you
“will you,,, will you remember all this in the morning ? and like , still mean all the things you said?”
he props his chin up to look at you but you remain staring at the ceiling
“yes. i promise. i’ll even kiss you if you’ll let me.”
“oh i dont know about that”
he narrows his eyes and pinches your side for that one so you squirm in his grasp
“okay oKAY we both know i literally want nothing else”
“hell yeah i know that , see u in the morning lovebug”
“goodnight bubs”
and you both fall asleep literally seconds after
the next morning no one in your house is awake before noon
you are the first to rise and you gently get out of bed without waking jeno and tip toe to your kitchen
you quickly start making an excessive amount pancakes because they are after all, Teen Boys and their stomachs are after all, Bottomless Pits
renjun shuffles into the kitchen not long after and pours himself some orange juice before wordlessly sitting at the table behind you
you make pancake after pancake almost mindlessly, it’s weirdly relaxing ??
lucas comes in next and bangs into the door frame before serving himself 8 pancakes and eating them at a scary pace
he realizes how Damn Rude that is by his third one and looks up to thank you enthusiastically
“yeah yeah just don’t make a mess you caveman”
“yes ma’am”
“careful there yukhei she might like being called ma’am”
and would you look at that donghyuck has entered :-)))))))
you flick some pancake batter in his direction but it hits mark who is right next to him
and poor dumb baby licks it off his finger and his face crinkles in disgust and you burst out laughing
hdjdjdjdj god please mark look out for yourself more jesus
in the next 15 minutes, the chatting and the smell of breakfast brings everyone crowding into the kitchen except jeno whom is apparently still asleep in your room
everyone has served themselves and you’re cooking the last of the batter by the time jeno stumbles in and wraps himself around you to prop his chin on your shoulder
the clatter of utensils quiets down to silence as they all gape at the easy and familiar affection jeno bestows upon you as if it’s an everyday thing
your hands freeze in their movements but jeno doesn’t move
his eyes are half closed and he rests a good bit of his body weight against you
you clear your throat awkwardly and give the others an evil glare over your shoulder
chenle is the first to hurriedly return to eating and the rest join in soon
you turn your head to whisper that you’ll get his pancakes done sooner if he doesn’t lean on you too much
he backs off but still lingers and presses the ghost of a kiss to your shoulder in acknowledgement
:((((((((((((
the boys snicker when you duck your head and blush but luckily that was your last pancake so you chuck your spatula in their general direction
chenle screams and throws himself into yukhei’s lap for cover while the rest cover their heads with their arms
you snicker and jeno squeezes you one last time before letting go and sitting at the table
at this point there is Nowhere For You to sit and the boys are too busy being rowdy teens to make room for you
jeno takes your plate from you and pulls you. into his lap.
the aUDACITY OF THIS BOY
WTF
the boys luckily don’t take much notice so you eat quickly and hop up to take everyone’s plates and pile them in the sink to wash later
jeno watches you fondly as you buzz around the kitchen in between conversations with jaemin about whatever antics they got into together last night before you found him
okay time skip you’ve ushered everyone out of your home
and refused to give a ride to anyone since you had to deal with their Drunk Foolery all last night
instead of hugging each of them there is a giant group hug that honestly hurts more than it helps
but chenle was involved so, what did u expect
jeno stays behind
it’s honestly so god damn domestic how he leans against the door frame and waits for you while you wave on the front porch to all the Babies
you come back inside and close the door and jeno is ᵗʰᶦˢ far away from your face
“hi”
“hello~”
“did you need something?”
“yep!”
“and what would it be, i wonder?”
“oh nothing too extravagant”
“spit it out wonder boy”
“okay so you know how you said you would let me kiss you last night?”
“i vaguely recall,,”
“okay well i’m cashing that in”
“right now ??”
“right now”
“did you even brush your teeth today?”
“yes, because i knew you would say that”
“damn.”
then he chortles and lifts his palms to cup your face
he leans in even closer so that your breaths mingle and his nose nudges against yours
then he abruptly pulls away and like ?? wtf dude ?????????
“okay but first things first: be my girlfriend”
“is that the best u can do”
“no but my best would take longer and i wanna kiss you RIGHT NOW”
“well jeez you make a hard bargain”
“. oh my GOD”
“JSKDJ IM SORRY ILL BE UR GIRLFRIEND”
“THANK JESUS”
and then he kisses u.
HARD
IM SCREANSKNSH !!!!!!!
he uses his hands to tilt your head back so he can get the perfect angle and he smiles against your lips when you start panting for air
you lean away and he chases after you, not wanting to be apart for a second
he captures them again and kisses you so softly you could CRY
I AM CRYING !
then he pulls away and presses a lingering kiss on the part of your forehead just between your eyebrows and you go a little cross eyed trying to keep an eye on him
his eyes are still closed when he parts from you and his smile is Big and Beautiful fuck
then you launch yourself at him and cover him in little pecks n kisses and he squeaks because he’s a soft shit
to escape Your Affection he pulls you close and buries his head in your shoulder
you wrap your arms around him and stand on your tip toes for it to be more comfortable for you both
but jeno has no plans of letting you go anytime soon so when your calves fatigue and you fall flat footed jeno pulls away and drags you to the couch
he declares this your First Date and puts on ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, marley and me
wtf jeno ? u tryna have a Sob Fest????
and it really does end in crying for both of you lmao
it’s pitiful
afterwards you watch that weird rip off of the smurfs called the snorks where it’s exactly the same except they’re underwater to get out of your Sad and Depressing mood
jeno eventually leaves because his mom has texted him 2738484 times to get his ass home
you walk him to the door and he kisses you goodbye in the Softest Fashion You’ve Ever Experienced and then waves at you over his shoulder on the way to his mother’s car
rip she had to pick him up since he didn’t drive there
as he walks away you’re almost uh Mad at how good he looks in your sweatpants
he notices your stare and opens his mouth to offer them back but you wave him off
“keep em, babe. they look better on you anyways”
and this , this BOY
winks, sLaps hIS OWN aSs ? and says
“i know they do ;)))))”
SJDKDK
the other boys each individually text you some variation of
“sO ??&: U AND JENO ?!?!:!;!&,&:”
and you reply to them all with
“yep.”
and Refuse to answer further questions
you and jeno fall into affection and dating so easily it’s as if you’ve been in a relationship all along
jeno is naturally very affectionate with just his friends so with you it’s tenfold
he literally can’t go more than 2 days without being able to see you
in person
and preferably kissing you
if he doesn’t see you for awhile he will sneak into your room and curl himself around your back
the first time he did it you were already in bed when the window opened and you thought he was a MURDERER and threw a book at him
once you had both calmed down he tackled you and pressed you into the sheets until you were out of breath from cackling and squealing
jeno loves you , so much
he loves you with everything he’s got and it’s honestly so endearing to you that he’s so attached
especially since you are just as attached i mean look at him
he calls you lovebug or sweetheart or any other slightly cringey nickname he can think of but he always uses your name when he tells you he loves you
he wants to you to know that he MEANS it and he FEELS it with every fiber of his body
and honestly what more could you ask for ?

Where the line is drawn (Colt x MC)
A/N: I want to say that this wouldn't have been possible without @vienroose, she helped me a lot to translate this story and corrected me about the writing, thank u so much, I love you <333 sorry if you see any orthographic error, this is my first story and we did the best we could!
I also recommend you to listen the song Flex Your Way Out by Sofi de la Torre while you're reading this!
Pairing: Colt x MC (Ellie)
Rating: PG
Summary: The conversation that mc and colt had in chapter 12 (from colt's perspective)
Tags: @vienroose @zig-nazario @storiesofsass @rwanchoices @mrswalkernazario @the-red-jhon @client-327
Colt was looking out the window, trying to calm what he was feeling at that moment. He would never admit it to everyone, but he was afraid too. He was scared, scared that everything could go wrong, scared for failing, because he knew that if he failed, not only his life would be in danger, his father's life, the crew's life, and even her life, would be in danger.
But he had no choice, he couldn't turn back, "what is done, is done" he said to himself as he adjusted his tie, he was ready for anything.
Until he heard her voice in the next room. At first he thought it was only his imagination, that the desire to see her was playing tricks on him, but he heard it again, and not only her voice, Logan's voice too. He went to the door, trying to hear what was happening.
"I'm not going to let Colt do this, I'm not going to let you do this" she said, fear and anger in her tone.
She was there, in the next room. After days without seeing her, he just felt like he wanted to go out and hug her, feel her, he wanted to hear her sweet voice saying "everything will be fine", "I'm here for you, with you", but he knew that he was just lying to himself, she was not there to support him, she was there to stop him.
He knew that she was there to stop him, he knew that she would do everything to convince him to give up, and if it was up for him, in that moment he would have taken her hand, put her on his motorcycle, and driven, far, far away from anyone and everything, wherever they wanted, only him and her.
But he couldn't. He had to finish what he started and that was not the time to have second thoughts, he couldn't fail the others in that way, he couldn't fail his father, who had trusted him for the first time. But above all that, he couldn't fail because of his selfish feeling of loving her.
"You're going to end up all dead, Logan," he heared her say.
Colt felt his heart stop for a second, and it was there when he realized that failing because of her was not his greatest fear. His biggest fear was losing her because of what he had done.
The whole plan had been thought so that everyone could be free, and it could also means that he and Ellie could be free, but if because of that she got hurt, if because of the plan he devised she got hurt, in one way or another...
If because of him and his plan she died, god, he wouldn't know how to live without her.
If something happened, he could never forgive himself, and everything he'd fought for wouldn't have made sense, no reason. He had to take her away, he had to make her leave because every second she was there, it was a second which she was risking her life. ¿How?, ¿How could he make that stubborn go away and not look back?
He remembered the day he told her that Logan betrayed her, he remembered the fury in Ellie's eyes, all the pain and sadness that made her go away for weeks. He knew what he had to do.
The only way to get Ellie away was to make her want to leave, and that could only happen if she was hurt, only if she hated hated him. The idea of hurting her might have hurt even more, but he had to do it, he had to do it for her.
He opened the door then, and with a voice firm like a rock, said:
"Logan understood my way of seeing things"
He smiled, he loved the way she fought for what she believed was right, but this was not the best time, not the place.
"You're enjoying this, right?" "You're enjoying this, you damn bastard" she looked around, Colt didn't take his eyes off her. "I can't believe it." she started laughing and raised her hands. "I can't believe it"
"You already know what's going on here, I guess" he said, she looked at him again with an expression full of fury and said "Seriously, Colt?, Kidnapping?" she moved closer to him "Kidnapping?" she shouted without taking her eyes off him, "I did what I had to do" he said, coldly, as he felt his own words burning inside him.
"I don't understand," she said "After everything we went through" she tried to stop the tears that were about to fall "¿How could you?" She yelled back and pushed him "¿How could you?"
He let her punch him in the chest, he knew he deserved it, he deserved that she left him forever, without second thoughts, without regrets, but neither of them was capable of doing that, definitely not him.
The hits stopped and he looked at her again, the tears kept coming out from his beautiful brown eyes, something inside him broke, as if a part of his heart was missing, he hated to see her like this, not after all what she had gone through. He had to be strong.
"¿What do you want me to say? ¿Sorry? I don't want to lie to you"
"Ah, ¿now that's the problem? You didn't mind lying about your whole plan!" she said, shouting again.
"I didn't lie to you, I hid the truth, to protect you. You're smart, Ellie. You have to see why I did it" he sounded cold, but every word that came out of his mouth was the pure truth.
"¿Why did you tricked your crew into doing something so stupid and dangerous?" the way she looked at him was killing him, with hatred and sadness at the same time. He hated himself more and more.
"I need you to leave, Ellie" he said to himself.
He took a breath and approached her, he thought of everything that could make him angry, the way Logan had used her, the way his father had never let him into his life, the way everyone could die if this ended badly.
Determinedly and with the heart made ice, he said:
"The rest of them might not love this plan, but they're willing to do what it takes" his eyes flashed as he met her gaze "Even if you aren't"
He regretted saying that as soon as the words came out of his mouth. None of that was true, he knew that Ellie was one of the strongest and capable people he had ever met, and that was the reason why he loved her, she never accepted anything less than she deserved, well, until she accept him.
"Oh my god" she opened her mouth "¿This is your plan, Colt?
"¿My plan?" he smiled thinking about the irony of that question "This was your plan, Ellie. It's you who came up with it, remember?" "They have everything they want but 'we just have to make them thing they don't', make them believe it could all be taken away" he tried to get closer to her even more, but she stepped back "There's only one thing they're are afraid of losing... freedom" "It's the only thing the entire brotherhood will step out of the shadows to protect"
She closed her eyes, thinking. Suddenly her eyes opened fast, implying that everything was falling into place.
"The man in the badgers hat, it's him, isn't it?" she said.
He thought about how smart she was, she discovered all of his plan with just a hint and he knew that he would never be able to hide anything from her for a long time, but there was nothing left to hide between them. After that conversation in the car, he was willing to share everthing with her, his thoughts, his feelings, his fears, he wanted to rule the entire city with here, but, ¿were they ready for that?
"And you didn't trust me with any of this" she said.
He didn't want to put her in danger. If she'd knew the plan, then she would have been one of them already, one who kidnapped a man and handed him to others who might kill him. And he was aware that everything was wrong inside her head, but he had everything clear. Colt only cared about being free and he was far from feeling bad for that man, he had everything he needed to make this plan, the brain, the courage, he could sleep peacefully after sentencing someone to death, but he knew her, the guilt would haunt her forever. He couldn't let that happen, even if she didn't see what that meant at the time.
"I didn't think you had the stomach. And I was right" he said "I knew Logan either" he looked at Logan "My pop said that he got weak ever since you showed up"
Logan had his eyes looking on the ground, he sighed and looked at Colt. Colt and Logan had one thing in common, they both loved Ellie, neither of them would let anything happen to her, but Colt had a reason, a reason to fight, a reason to stay strong, determinated, he had always been like that, but Ellie had also awakened a part of him that he believed didn't exist, the part that cared so much for her, that part that wanted to protect her at all cost, and as much as he hated to admit, he had also become weak, he also had one weakness, her.
But he would never show it, at least not at that moment.
"You know what they'll do to him. This isn't you" he could see the disappointment in her face "This isn't the crew I know. This isn't the Colt I know"
Something came to his mind, the time his father said that she was just a tourist, that she could leave whenever she wanted and go back to her normal life. That wasn't true for him, in any way. Ellie had always shown loyalty, she wanted to be one of them, she wanted that life and they had talked about it. ¿Could he have the guts to say all of that too?, after everything he had said that afternoon in her car, what she was worth, the reasons why he wanted her, how they could connect and use their skills so that nothing would get in their way, damn, they would be the most powerful couple in the whole city, ¿could he forget all those promises just for a moment for both their sake?
"Then you don't know us at all" she shouted "Our life? What we've been thought?" the thoughts of his past invaded him "At the end of this, your dad will take you back. He'll welcome you home" he knew, deep down, that was the right thing to do "You'll go to college, and forget everything of this happened" but he couldn't let her go, he couldn't, and he didn't want to "You're a tourist" he looked at the floor, trying not to see how his words hurted her again and again.
"That's what you think of me?" he heared her broken voice as and echo in his mind.
"They'll be here soon" he said, trying to change the subject.
"It won't work Colt!" she shouted "You're selling your soul for nothing"
He couldn't pretend anymore, his nerves were betraying him and the words threatened to come out of his mouth, fuck, he was breaking her, ¿why was she still there?, the answer was obvious, she didn't want to give up, she still believed that there was a good way to solve it, he thought she was blind because she couldn't see it. He took the last strength he had left, and with all the pain in the world he looked at her again. Ellie's eyes were red, her face full of eyeline because of the tears that didn't stop coming out, and in spite of all that he could still see hope in her eyes, looking for a good answer, but he didn't have the answer because there really was not one. Everything he had said was a lie and it didn't mean anything he really thought, but he saw how the light in Ellie's eyes disappeared, and he knew that he only needed one more blow to get her out of the danger. He bit his tongue, and said:
"Freedom can't be bought. It can only be taken"
Without saying more he turned towards the exit with all the desire to look back, but he knew that if he turned and looked back, everything inside him would collapse.
"Colt, please" he stopped in front of the door "You're going too far, you're not a bad person" she put a hand on his shoulder, she was shaking "¿Colt?" she said again.
He pulled her hand out sharply, and without looking back he said:
"You don't get to choose where the line is drawn"
He opened the door and looked at Logan and trying to hide his feelings he finally said.
"Get ride of her, will you?"
He closed the door and sighed, tears threatened to fall from his eyes, he was sure that he'd lost her, but at least this was all his own decision, he didn't lose her because someone snatched her from his side, not because someone had hurt her, not because someone had killed her.
He could still heared her crying as he walked away, a part of his heart stayed in that room, with her, and he was sure that no matter what happened after this, he could live knowing that he saved her, his most precious treasure.
Or at least he thought so.
