Kissing Classes ♡ Luke Castellan x M!Reader

previous ☆ 2nd chapter ☆ 3rd chapter

summary 1st chapter: luke asks you to teach him how to kiss to impress a girl he really likes.

1.2k words

warnings: queer sadness, bad words (tell me if i've forgotten something)

tags: pansexual!luke, mlm!reader, luke's first kiss, chb is chill with your sexuality, friends with benefits (???), friends to lovers, pre-tlt

I. "How To Kiss?"

It definitely wasn't a secret you were into men while being one. Not because you had a slur written on your forehead, it wasn't *that* obvious. But, it was recognizable since the few moments Aphrodite daughters tried to approach you, and you weren't interested (which seemed crazy enough, so smart people – and Luke – knew you were gay, or at least; in the queer spectrum).

People were okay about it, and they didn't mention it. Which made you comfortable. After all, Camp Half-Blood as a whole was an Ancient Greece reference.

Today before the iconic campfire, Luke asked you to talk about something in his cabin. You supposed it was some kind of favor because of the tone in his voice. Perhaps a shameful one, because he really didn't want to raise his voice for you to hear well. Luckily enough, you caught the words "my cabin before the campfire", unable to comprehend the rest.

Now, in the Hermes cabin, Luke and you are alone. And you can't help but wonder "what the fuck am I here for? Why is he taking so long to say whatever?"

— There's this girl...

"Oh. Right" you thought.

— Hm?

— There is this girl I really like but- you know- I never had a girlfriend so Ineverlearnedhowtokiss — you couldn't understand the last part very well.

— What?

— I want you to teach me how to kiss — Luke spat the words, not very nervous about it, well, not as much as you.

How many boyfriends have you had? One? Or maybe one and a half, there was one who probably was a situationship. How many kisses have you given? No idea. You didn't count them. Why would Luke ask you, an almost unexperienced person, to teach him how to kiss?

— Wh- why me? — you asked, touching a frustrated tone with your voice.

— You have kissed people, didn't you?

— Uhm, I don't know — you said as if you were clueless, acting it. And then raised your voice a little —. Maybe four or five times, Castellan. I don't go around and kiss every guy in this camp!

A moment of silence was made for the happiness you had on that day. Long gone.

— So you are asking me, a dude, gay, and also your bestfriend, to give your these 'kissing classes' so you can impress a girl? — you asked, impressed and angry at the proposal the Hermes Counselor had.

— Yeah. I don't feel comfortable asking anyone but you — Luke answered.

— Are you sure this doesn't have a- I don't know, homoerotic subtext? I've seen this on movies... — the look on the other boy, indicating an "I'm not playing around. This is a favor. I'm your best friend" on his expression, made your joke stop —. Alright. Who's this girl?

— She is an Aphrodite kid. You don't know her.

— Aaalright. Maybe I don't, but what's her name?

— Doesn't matter. I just know they always expect the best for a partner and I want to reach that.

— Okay, okay, you are down bad — you laughed a little —. But really, out of all people, why me? It's weird that you are asking your gay friend to kiss you to impress a girl, well- unless she's into that stuff, which is not really okay either.

Luke had a serious expression on his face. He really wanted you to do him that favor.

— I can sneak anything you want if you do me this favor, really. Yes or no?

"He's desperate" you thought. Yes, it was nice to help out a friend, but not really when you had a crush on him and he casually asks you to teach him how to kiss. It hurt a little.

— Sneak me a CD player. I wanted one for a long time — you became a little more serious. You could get a player to listen to your favorite CDs from your human parent. "Just don't close your eyes in the teaching" you thought to yourself, maybe you could hide your crush.

— I can do that — Luke smiled after a while of not doing so. He was satisfied. You certainly tried to appear so, too.

— So... I suppose it's a first time for you with a girl. You shouldn't look really desperate, it's a daughter of the Goddess of Love. She would want to take things her way — you assumed, looking anywhere but to your friend.

— Care to show me? — Luke was grinning like an idiot. You wanted to punch him.

You stayed silent for a bit:—. I do mind, but well — you said.

Hermes' Cabin Counselor held one of your shoulders and pulled you close. You tried so much not to close your eyes and seize the moment, it wasn't alright to do so.

At some point, Luke grabbed your other shoulder with his free hand and pulled you even closer, which made you nervous (quite an awful lot, you tried to play it cool).

The kiss wasn't bad, and you weren't playing favorites at all. It was a first time for Luke, it was disorganized and full of things to explore. A good kiss nonetheless.

You pulled away after a few moments. Fortunately for you, the blush you had could have been mistaken with lack of breathing for a while.

— Don't do the shoulder thing with her. At all — you tried to sound normal, but your voice was kind of shaky —. It makes you look like you crave her an awful lot, I don't think an Aphrodite kid would like it that fast.

— What should I do then? — Luke looked focused. He was looking at you, yet you tried to avoid his gaze.

— Maybe lean close to her lips and wait for her to give you the consent! You know, people appreciate consent. I'm sure she would too.

— Alright — the Hermes Cabin Counselor looked confused while holding a grin, but you kept going.

— Make sure she wants to kiss. Some Aphrodite kids are unreadable. But yeah, be more gentle, maybe keep the shoulder thing for- for another time? — you stuttered a bit.

— Yeah, thanks. I'll tell you how it goes — he responded, still with that stupid smile of his which you've grown to hate as of just a matter of your recent interaction.

— Bye. Good luck with the lovergirl — you said while getting close to the door, and then left.

The rest of the campers were going back to their respective cabins, so you went to yours too.

Maybe if you had that damn CD player Luke promised you, you would be able to listen to Queen, Blur, The Smiths or The Cure to match your mood. But you didn't have the device. At least not yet.

You went to sleep wishing there isn't going to be a second time, because you would lose your mind. Hell, your crush confessed he liked a girl (that was the normal part of it), and used you to know how to kiss her. Maybe it was just a plan to play with you, wouldn't have been the first time someone did that. But it was Luke you were thinking about, he wouldn't do that.

"Then what the fuck is it?" you thought while almost falling asleep completely.

A day worth of 'I tried to laugh about it, cover it all up with lies and hiding the tears in my eyes because boys don't cry'. But that CD player wasn't there.

Ivy Chapter 9

DISCLAIMER: I just deepl and google translated my way through this because I wanted to know what’s going on, so there are definitely mistakes but I believe I managed the general gist of the story. Anyway, it’s just a fan-made translation solely for entertainment purposes. Morganatic Idol belongs to Cybird and ABC Frontier, Inc.

Rina: That's it.

I finished cleaning the room and exhaled.

(I've been able to get it done in a lot less time than in the beginning.)

This is thanks to time I have spent helping Ivy-san.

As soon as I think of that ... what happened at that meeting a few days ago comes to my mind again.

--flashback--

Ivy: We get along, sure, but it isn’t like that.

Ivy: Kawanaga-san thinks of me like a big brother.

Ivy: For me, she’s like a cute little sister.

--flashback end--

Rina: ... like a sister

(Not so long ago, I didn't mind being treated like that by Ivy-san.)

In fact, I was even glad to be familiar with him.

And yet, now that I'm aware of my feelings for him, it hurts so much.

(... stop. It's no use thinking about it. I need to focus on what I can do instead.)

I shake my head to shake off the sinking feeling.

(Well, I'll have to look into exe again today.)

(I've been spending a lot of time helping out for a while now and haven't gotten around to doing the research for the presentation ...)

With that in mind, I was looking for materials and found a CD stuffed into a box at the back of a shelf.

It appears to be a CD with sound data burned into it, and the title is written on the label of the case.

(It doesn't seem to be the name of an exe song. Let's give it a listen.)

I'm also allowed to use the room's audio when researching.

I immediately started playing it, and what I heard was Ivy-san's singing voice.

The direction is completely different from the cool, tension-filled songs of today's exe.

(But it's warm and gentle and fits Ivy-san's voice tremendously. It's a lovely song.)

... As I was listening to the music, the door of the room suddenly opened.

I turned around to see if Ivy-san had returned.

Hitaki-san was there.

Hitaki: Hey, you were there too.

Rina: Is there a problem, Hitaki-san?

Hitaki: I'm here to borrow some materials. Ivy-san told me it's fine.

When Hitaki-san entered the room, he seemed to notice the music playing in the room.

Hitaki: ... Oh, I know I've heard this somewhere before. This is an R2R song.

'R2R' ... I remember when I looked up exe during the presentation, that name came up.

Rina: I think that's the music unit that Ivy-san had before exe, isn't it?

Hitaki: Yes, it was a unit formed by Ivy-san and Eito-san. This is a hit song from that time.

Hitaki: I'm sure it quite well domestically, but by the looks of it, you don't know?

Rina: Yes ... I wasn't really into music.

Rina: I've only seen a few names when I looked up exe, but I don't know much about it.

Hitaki: If you're interested, I can tell you what I know.

Rina: I'd love to!

Hitaki: That's quite a quick answer. Do you want to know so much about Ivy-san?

Rina: What!? That's not why ...

Hitaki: Hmm, just kidding.

Hitaki: As I mentioned earlier, R2R is a duo unit consisting of Eito-san and Ivy-san.

Hitaki: He was very popular among young people because of his consistent singing ability and high level of music.

Rina: Certainly, it's a great song, too.

Rina: The atmosphere is quite different from that of today's exe.

Hitaki: R2R's songs are more melody-driven than exe's songs which are more rhythm-driven.

Hitaki: I heard that Ivy-san is writing the music now, but back then he and Eito-san were working on it together.

Hitaki: I guess the unit changed, and so did his musicality.

(I see what you mean. Maybe that's one of those things ...)

Hitaki: R2R was expected to go global, but ... the results didn't go well.

Hitaki: No matter how popular they were in Japan, they weren't accepted overseas.

Rina: ... I see.

(It's a really tough world ... after all those great songs.)

Hitaki: That's why Eito-san used his experience to start Aero Light Productions.

Hitaki: He's trying to raise the bar in the japanese music industry and create a group that can compete on a global level.

Rina: I see ...

I had heard that Sakura-san was a former musician, but I had no idea he had such deep thoughts.

And I didn't know that Ivy-san had a bitter experience of losing in front of the world's wall.

(Somehow I find that hard to believe, even though Ivy-san is now very active as an exe member.)

(I'm sure it must have been very frustrating and painful ...)

Hitaki: ... what are you thinking about? Maybe about Ivy-san?

Rina: Yes ... it is truly amazing that he has overcome so many setbacks and is doing so well.

Rina: I can't even imagine how much effort he had to put in to acquire the skills necessary to compete on the world stage.

Hitaki: That's right ... fufu, you're really all about Ivy-san. I'm a little jealous.

Rina: Eh?

Then I finally realized that Hitaki-san and I were getting awfully close.

Rina: U-uh ...?

Hitaki: Ah, sorry. I just thought it was kind of cute how you were trying so hard to care for Ivy-san.

Hitaki: I'd like to get a better look at that face.

With a sweet smile, Hitaki-san peeked at me.

Rina: I don't think I'm cute ...

(So close to my face ...!)

As I try to keep my distance, a large palm is placed on my shoulder.

Hitaki: Don't run away. I just want to talk to you more.

My resistance was suppressed and I was pulled towards Hitaki-san with a strong force.

Rina: Talk to me about what?

Hitaki: Remember what I said at our meeting the other day, that I wanted you to help me with Gem, not exe?

Rina: I remember. But I turned that down at the time, didn't I?

As I tried to turn away from his approaching face, Hitaki-san's palm gently touched my cheek.

The coolness of the air makes me shiver.

Hitaki: Would you please think about it again? I just can't give up.

Rina: Why are you so ...? I don't think Gem needs me.

Hitaki: You underestimate yourself. Your power is a wonderful thing.

Hitaki: In fact, the exe members were happy to see how well you did, weren't they?

Rina: B-but I ...

Hitaki: I know. You did your best for Ivy-san.

Hitaki: What's so special about Ivy-san?

Rina: !!

I froze at his words and looked up at him, stunned. Hitaki-san's smile deepened as his eyes seemed to see through everything.

Hitaki: ... you think of him like a big brother? I know you can count on him to be kind to you.

Rina: Y-yes ... I ...

... I feel like I have to affirm it, but my voice is stuck in my throat and won't come out.

Hitaki: Ivy-san also said that he thinks of you as a sister.

Rina: ...

Hitaki: It's a wonderful relationship, isn't it? ... But, really, is that enough for you?

Hitaki-san's hand was holding my shoulder, but before I knew it, it was around my waist.

A palm slides across my cheek, making me look up as I try to turn away.

Rina: Please let go of me ...

Hitaki: ... You should go to Gem. It would make you happier.

He was drawing closer.

Hitaki: I value your ability and would be willing to do great work with you if you would become a Gem exclusive.

Hitaki: I know we will be irreplaceable partners, both publicly and privately.

Rina: But I'm ...

Hitaki: And I don't think you're a little sister. You're very pretty and attractive woman who can be desperate for someone.

Hitaki: I'm not going to make you feel lonely by treating you like a child.

Rina: ...

The gently whispered words seemed to contain some kind of magical power.

Just as Hitaki-san's air was about to consume me ... the door to the room opened.

Ivy: Kawanaga-san ... and Hitaki?

When Ivy-san comes into the room, his eyes widen and he looks at me and Hitaki-san.

Rina: Ivy-san ...

My head cooled down at once. Quickly, I shake off Hitaki-san's hand and move away.

Rina: ...

I felt like I had to say something, but I was to upset to speak.

Ivy: ... You look pale. Calm down.

Seeing me, he lowered his eyebrows in concern.

(What should I do? I can't believe Ivy-san saw me in that position ...!)

Hitaki: Welcome back, Ivy-san. You're back earlier than I expected.

Ivy: I got the job done smoothly.

Ivy: I know Kawanaga-san is cleaning ... but what are you doing here?

Hitaki: I came to borrow some materials. Then I ran into her by chance and we had a little chat.

Hitaki: Right?

Rina: Y-yes ...

That's certainly not wrong.

But after being so close to him like that, and after he whispered those words to me ... I felt guilty for some reason.

(I know you saw me earlier, Ivy-san. I hope he didn't think I was weird.)

(Or do you think I'm just like a little sister and don't care ...?)

I can't look at Ivy-san's face.

What Hitaki-san said to me earlier is going through my mind.

Rina: ... and I'm done cleaning for the day.

Rina: Excuse me!

I was so frustrated that I ran away from the place.

Hitaki: Oh, she got away. Fufu ... She's really funny.

Hitaki: She's as honest as a puppy. Her expression changes from one moment to the next, and she's easy to read.

Hitaki: I can see why Ivy-san adores her.

Ivy: Hitaki ... Don't mess with Kawanaga-san as a joke.

Ivy: She's so pure. She's working so hard in an environment she's not used to.

Hitaki: I'm not kidding ...

Hitaki: Does that mean I can ask you a question if I'm not joking?

Ivy: What?

Hitaki: As she's a housekeeper, you're in charge of her, and you spend the most time together.

Hitaki: My connection to her is certainly tenous by comparison.

Ivy: Ah. So get to the point ...

Hitaki: But that doesn't matter. I like her.

Ivy: What did you say?

Hitaki: I recognize her abilities and understand her feelings ... much more than you do.

Ivy: ... What does that mean?

Hitaki: I mean it as it is ... If you're going to be like that forever, I'll take her.

Ivy: ...

Hitaki: ... Sometimes the most precious things that we take for granted can suddenly disappear one day.

Hitaki: Please be careful.

Ivy: !

Hitaki: ... then I'll be off. Excuse me.

Aloof, Hitaki walked out of the room.

The remaining Ivy stands alone, wide-eyed and stunned.

Ivy: ... The important things we take for granted will cease to be ...

He mutters in a small voice and turns around.

Ivy: ...

What are those eyes, shaking with pain, reflecting?

No one else knew about it.

Part of the Band - Chapter 7

Howdy! It's chapter 7! The gang goes to band practice. Dook learns a secret. The status quo is changed.

tw for: mention of parental death, and depictions of physical violence (unrelated)

< Chapter 6 — Chapter 8 >

Read it on AO3!

"Hey, Beach Bear, what's this?" Dook asks, picking up a CD from the floor of the car.

"Ah– That's, nothing," Beach Bear says, snatching it from him and tossing it in the back row.

Dook cranes to look at it. "B... Ballroom... Dancing," he reads– scrawled sharpie onto the front of the case. "Isn't that a song?"

"Yeah," Beach Bear says. "It's, ah, it's nothing special. Don't worry about it."

"Well, if you're gonna be this picky about our listening choice, I'm not sure I should put on the radio."

"Nah, the radio's fine," Beach Bear says, flicking it on for him.

Dook turns to look out the window. "I'm glad the weather's warm today," he muses.

"Yeah," Beach Bear agrees. "But I don't expect it to last long. We still got a bit until spring comes."

"What's the point of winter?" Dook asks.

"Christmas," Beach Bear suggests.

"Yeah, but after that. What good is there? You gotta sit through January and February–"

"New Year's and Valentine's Day."

"New Year's doesn't count. That's literally the first day of January. It's basically still December." Dook pauses. "I think we should move Christmas to January."

"Oh yeah?" Beach Bear glances at him curiously.

"Yeah," Dook says. "Nobody these days cares about Thanksgiving anymore. As soon as Halloween ends, people just jump straight to Christmas. We put Christmas in January, people still get a whole month to think about Christmas and let Thanksgiving have its own month. And we also don't have to sit through January with no holidays."

"Tom Thumb Day."

"That doesn't count either!"

The car pulls into the now-familiar parking lot of the music store.

"What if we came up with a new holiday just for January?" Beach Bear asks as they exit the car. "Something that really gives Christmas a run for its money."

"Yeah, like, uh," Dook starts, "uh, Christmas 2 or something."

"Yeah, like Christmas 2: Back and Jollier Than Ever," Beach Bear adds. "Santa's back... and he's out for revenge!"

"Nah, we need a different mascot," Dook says. "Like, uh, the elves or something."

"Yeah," Beach Bear agrees as they enter the store. "Worker's rights and all that."

"Maybe they've unionized," Dook says. "To celebrate, you gotta give a gift to your favorite blue collar worker."

"Specific," Beach Bear says. "It's like the perfect combination of Christmas and Valentine's Day!"

The two head toward the back room.

"Hey guys," Dook says as they enter.

"Where's Fatz?" Beach Bear asks.

"He called. He said he was having car troubles," Billy Bob says. "He's still coming, he'll just be late."

"Fine by me," Beach Bear says. "Why don't we all get warmed up?"

·–—–·

"Alright, we all ready?" Beach Bear asks. He looks over at Queenie. "You can sing standing up, you know."

Queenie doesn't budge from her spot on the couch. "You can play guitar standing, too."

"No, I can't," Beach Bear says.

"Billy Bob can," she says, pointing at him.

"Billy Bob's got a smaller guitar," Beach Bear says.

"Do y'all want me to sit down?" Billy Bob asks.

"Nah, ignore her," Beach Bear tells him. "Let's take it from–"

"Ignore me?" Queenie says. Beach Bear sighs.

"Can we not do this, just once?" he asks.

"No," she says. "You're being a jerk for no reason."

"Wh– All I said was to ignore you! I wasn't being serious!"

"It doesn't matter if it was serious or not," she says, standing, "You should apologize."

"Oh, now you can stand," he remarks.

Queenie's eyes go alight. "You are such a disrespectful little shit," she says. She speaks soft and harsh, like she did back in that alley. "I make the effort to come to band practice every week- on time, unlike you– and I have to drag my sister here every time too, and all I get back is you being rude?"

Beach Bear sighs sharply. He's still sitting casually, but his voice carries some tension. "You sound like my mother," he says.

Queenie doesn't give anyone a chance to register what Beach Bear's said before she smacks him straight across the face.

"Mini–?" A voice calls from the corner. It's Mitzi, looking worried.

If Beach Bear had had any hint of amusement left on him, it's gone now. "Is that how it's gonna be?" He stands, causing Queenie to step back a bit. He's the tallest in the room, and when he's angry, he comes off near-scary.

Dook looks to Mitzi. "Come on," he says, taking her hand. "Let's let them settle this." He leads her out of the room.

"W- wait," she protests, "I wanna see if Mini is okay."

"She'll be just fine," Dook tells her. He kneels to meet her, though he ends up being a bit under her eye level. "You know how they are," he says. "They fight all the time. They'll get it out of their systems and it'll be alright."

Mitzi shifts, unsure, but doesn't argue any further. "Okay," she says.

"Do you like coming to watch band practice?" Dook asks, trying to change the subject.

Mitzi nods. "Yeah," she says. "I like watching y'all play. I like hearing Mini sing, too."

Dook smiles. "That's nice. She's got a nice voice, doesn't she?"

"Yeah. She taught me some of her songs, y'know."

"Oh, really?" Dook says. "I didn't know you liked to sing, Mitzi." She's usually so quiet during practices, he sometimes forgets she's even there.

"Sure," she says. "I'm not as good as her, though."

"I bet you are," Dook tells her. "I bet you could be even better than her, if you wanted to. Maybe one day you'll be in the band with us."

Mitzi smiles. "Thanks, Dook."

A noise is heard from inside the room– something falling? Something being thrown? He's not sure.

"...Mitzi, can I ask you something?"

"Okay."

"How come Mini always brings you to band practice?"

"Well, 'cause..." Mitzi pauses, as if this is an obvious answer. " 'Cause nobody'd be watching me at home if she left me."

"What about your parents?" Dook asks. "Can't they watch you?"

Mitzi shakes her head.

Dook pauses. "Mitzi... where are your parents?" He asks carefully.

"Mm... Mini says they're somewhere better now," she says, and it's clear she doesn't fully understand what that means.

Dook doesn't know what to say. He pried too far, he knows. That's why Mitzi's always here, he realizes. That's why Queenie is always so...

He hears her shouting from inside the room. They're far enough that he can't hear what she's saying, but it's clearly not gotten any better in there. Mitzi watches him expectantly. He's paralyzed.

"I– I, uh," he starts. "I'm gonna go check on them. Stay right there."

He stands and moves back toward the door, listening before he chooses to go in.

"I'm so sick of your shit, Mini," Beach Bear says. "I don't care what you're going through, it's not an excuse for you to ruin things every time you're with us!"

"You don't have any right to talk!" She shouts back. "You don't know what it's like!"

"You think I don't know what it's like?" He laughs. "Are you serious? Maybe I don't know what it's like to be such a manipulative bitch–"

"Both of you need to cut it out!" Billy Bob says.

"Stay out of this!" Queenie snaps.

"Don't shout at him like that!" Beach Bear says.

"Why do you care?!"

"Because I actually care about this band!" he says. "I've been trying to keep it together for once! Unlike you, you just try to sabotage it every chance you get!"

"Sabotage it?! I'm keeping you in check!"

"I don't need to be kept in check!" He raises his voice more now. "I need you to respect me! You've never respected me!"

"You–"

"You've always been like this," he continues. "I don't think you've ever been a good person, Mini. The shit you've done to me, what you've made me think was okay... I feel bad for your sister. I feel bad for the rest of the Wolf Pack, wherever they are now. I feel bad for your parents."

Queenie says nothing, but Dook is pretty sure he hears her try to hit him again, followed by a short struggle. Furniture scraping on the floor... footsteps... a thud... Queenie yelps.

"Listen to me." Beach Bear's voice is much quieter now, but no less tense. As if he's just inches away from her now. "Don't come back here."

"Wh– Are you kicking me out?" Queenie says. "Y- You can't do that. I'm your singer."

"I don't care," Beach Bear says. "We'll find another singer."

She scoffs. "Who are you gonna replace me with, huh?"

"Someone better. Anyone. Mitzi, if we have to."

Queenie laughs, and he hears him hit her again.

"You're not taking me seriously," he says. "If I ever, ever see you again... I'm going to do what I should've done a long time ago. What I would do now if there weren't people watching."

"You don't mean it," she spits.

"Do you wanna find out?"

Dook opens the door.

Beach Bear has Queenie pressed up against the wall nearest the door, one hand gripping her under the jaw. They've both been roughed up, Queenie with a noticable claw mark across her left cheek. Billy Bob and Looney Bird stand near the back of the room, also a bit ruffled, both worried but unsure how to intervene. Furniture has been knocked over, the rug bent over itself and ripped in a couple areas. The place is a mess.

Beach Bear lets Queenie go, but doesn't move back to let her leave. He immediately softens at the sight of Dook.

"Dook, I..." he starts, but doesn't know how to finish.

"Mitzi's outside," Dook says, unsure what else to say. "She's... she's fine."

"I'm leaving," Queenie says, pushing Beach Bear aside with an arm. "I hope this band crashes and fucking burns."

She pushes past Dook, and walks toward Mitzi.

"Mini?" Mitzi says.

"Come on," Queenie says, ignoring her. She grabs the girl by the wrist and they leave the music store together. Beach Bear moves to the door of the room, watching them leave.

"...I'm worried about her," Dook says softly.

"...We can't do anything," Beach Bear says. "I've tried."

Dook looks at him. "Are you okay?"

"I'll be fine," he says, avoiding eye contact. He looks... sad. Tired, maybe. Dook isn't sure how to help him.

Beach Bear turns back to the others. "I'm sorry," he says. "You guys can go home. I gotta find us a new singer."

oh oh oh drabble time

squalo and vittorio + music

cause we talked about it briefly one day, so i wanna know more

:3c alrighty~

It wasn't really a day that'd be out of the ordinary, Vittorio had dragged Squalo out the day before so admittedly he was a bit surprised that the shark showed up in the morning, he usually has a decently bad hangover. But as of recent Vittorio had been actually keeping track of the drinks that Squalo had so maybe that's why he had recovered better than usual. "What are you looking for round two~?"

"Voooooi! I'm not here to waste my damn time on goin' out. Not this fucking early." Squalo huffed, and let himself in through the doorway. Which only got Vittorio a little more curious as to what he wants here.

"So are you going to tell me what you're here for, or shall I guess~" He gives a playful smile which only gets him a scowl from the captain. They raise their both of their hands, keeping the smile on their face. "Oh come I'm trying to lighten whatever mood you're in."

"I'm not in a damn mood an' I know you know that. But anyway I remember what I said I'd do yesterday" While Squalo may have, Vittorio certainly didn't. A lot of things were talked about. Of course if Squalo came in here for this it was probably serious... Right? They take a seat in their chair and wait. "Okay to put this lightly you've lived under a rock for the entirety of your life. I'm gonna fix it." "....I'm sorry? What?" That is not at all what Vittorio expected to hear from Squalo. He thought this was something serious. This was about him not listening to music wasn't it, was it that strange that he didn't know any of the supposedly popular songs the drunken shark listed that it stuck out to Squalo that much that he remembered today?!

"Vooooi... I said I'm gonna fix it. Though this is more in my taste. Cause ya know I'm not going to recommend shit that sounds bad to me. If you want more variety go bother someone else." Squalo then took out three CD cases, placed them on Vittorio's desk, with a note that appears to have even more things to look up. Is he being given homework. What if happening. "I don't have time to stick around. But you better be able to tell me what you think of them by the next time we talk."

"If I didn't know better I'd joke that this is a very strange threat." But really, even if Squalo is being so indirect yet clearly picked out these for him... It must have been important enough that Squalo wanted to share with him. "I'll listen to it while I work. Promise~"

"You fuckin better, and keep those in good condition I'll skin you alive if you scratch them." Ah, so these were very important. He nods to the shark as he leaves. He looks over the CDs and the note. He even separated the song recommendations by genre on the paper.

Not that he really knows what that means admittedly but he supposes he'll learn through this. A lot of them seem to fall under the apparently large umbrella of the metal genre, though there seems to be a some that are under a rock genre, and a few at the very end that seems more like songs that Squalo randomly threw in just in case Vittorio liked neither.

"Well I can tell which he prefers... Hopefully in the case I don't agree he doesn't stay mad at me too long~." Selecting something randomly he puts it on as he works. It certainly does remind him of the captain.

[06/05/2022] the second one. ha. this is not funny anymore.

i woke up today to the taylor's version of This Love. I AM SO EXCITED. oh my god. but i'm precisely worried about how i'm gonna handle this future situation now that i work a solid 9-6.

yes. i'm the hugest swiftie to ever exist (this is so swiftie of me to say).

i met taylor probably during her fearless era through the radio and television because i was too young to be on social media at the time. i listened to all the hits but i was busy with my high school musical obsession and really didn't pay enough attention to it. i mean, i liked her then BUT was in the red era when i fell hard for her. i was in my mom's car and i had just bought her cd randomly —it wasn't the release day and i wasn't expecting to get it. i remember listening to it for the first time and really diggin it. suddenly i was turning on my tv to watch she perform all too well at the grammys and i barely knew the words to it and now i'm this 27 year old freak that knows everything about her and everything that it has to know about her.

i honestly think i must be one of god's favorite for being born at the same era of young taylor swift, the privilege of being there while it's happening it's unreal to me. i almost cry just thinking about it.

but yeah.

1989 tv is coming.

YEAH.

now i need some time to process it while listening This Love.

#but i'm secretly waiting for the debut to finally have some justice #there i said it

ok so I was really curious about what you @dongsichenged said about remembering listening to cassette tapes when you were a kid but your friends in the US not having the same experience and I researched a bit and apparently CD's did replace cassettes faster in the US than in other countries

approximately in 1992 the CD sales were higher than the cassette sales in the US and around 2000 - 2002 (that is the time I used to estimate when we were kids) they were above 800M while cassette tape sales were under 100M so it was more likely to own a CD than a cassette at that time.

I tried to find data about China but I couldn't really find anything like this ;; just a billboard article from 1992

where it says that the sales of cassettes were still high at that time (1989) and there wasn't much interest in the CD. Of course many things could have changed in all those years but I guess the US market adapted to the CD format faster.

#i read way too many articles for such a silly thing but #i learnt a lot of stuff too #apparently cd sales peaked in 2002 worldwide but the source doesn't clarify if it's about the US or the world so...#and it seems that lay's honey album is no. 1 in digital sales in china and jay chou's common jasmin orange #is no.1 in physical sales which is something i didn't expect to learn today but ok #i tried to search in baidu to try my luck but i forgot something important: i don't speak chinese #there's just so much translate can do. F #anyway this wasn't even something important but i couldn't help it #sorry if it freaks you out???#I'm not from the US btw I'm from mexico but because of our proximity #things like this are almost the same #maybe 2 years later or something idk #music #🌙moon #oh and cassettes are becoming a Thing again #that $ is bothering me tho. because the other one says units #... anyway #cd's did outsell cassettes in the us by 1991

chapter 4 of the 80s story!! i promise i'll have a title next update (lie)

taglist!: @anastoundingmango @technicallyaminecraftsimp i can't remember if anyone else wanted to be tagged to lmk if i forgot you

Chapter 4

James waved goodbye to Michael as the other boy began walking himself home. He had been kind enough to walk James back to his house.

James entered his own house, his mother sitting on the couch.

"How was Michael?" James's mother asked.

"Good! He got me ice cream." James smiled.

"He sounds wonderful." His mother remarked.

"He is." James said.

"Hey, what happened to your arm?" His mother said.

"I fell off his skateboard. I'm fine, he patched me up." James reassured her.

His mother laughed. "It's fine James. I'm glad he patched you up."

James sighed. He ventured upstairs into his room. He flopped down onto his bed and put his headphones over his ears. He pressed play on the CD player that had been in his pocket the entire time. "Your Song" by Elton John began playing. Michael's favorite.

And another love song.

James continued listening. He thought about how Michael had treated him today. He'd treated him more than well. He'd patched him up and bought him ice cream. He'd been cared for. James noticed tears welling up in his eyes and glanced in the mirror to observe this reaction.

He stared as silent tears fell down his face. He noticed the band-aids on his arm, then he realized.

For the first time in his life, he'd felt cared for.

He wiped the tears away from his eyes, letting out a frustrated breath. Why was he crying? Michael was nice to him. Michael was so nice to him, and he was crying.

James took a deep breath. He tilted his head upwards and let the sounds of Elton John fill his ears. It calmed him down. Knowing it was Michael's favorite song comforted him. He took another deep breath.

After calming down, he went downstairs for a glass of water. He ran the tap, watching the glass cup fill up to the brim before shutting off the faucet.

He took a sip, letting the cool water calm down his heated body temperature. He would dissect why he had cried later, right now he needed a distraction. Michael had been on his mind for 2 days, and while having a crush was exhilarating, it was also exhausting. He began to think of ways to distract himself, but was interrupted by his sister running past him and into the living room.

"Mom! Flip on the cartoons, my favorite show is on!" She screamed.

James groaned. There goes his distraction. Once his sister got hold of the TV it was hers until she was done with it. Although she was only 12, she was a force to be reckoned with. As the youngest, she was spoiled. Not to say that James wasn't, but now that he was older he was expected to spoil himself.

He finished his glass of water and threw his head back. He let out a long sigh. A nap would be nice if he could trick himself into falling asleep, but that seemed almost impossible. His stomach was full of butterflies, they fluttered around and turned his face pink.

James filled his cup with water again. He took a sip and a deep breath.

"You okay honey?" His mother asked.

"Yeah, why do you ask?" He responded.

"You're just sighing a ton. Glad you're drinking water though." She said.

"Yeah, you dehydrated carrot." His little sister interrupted.

"Oh shove it, Heather." James retorted playfully.

Heather blew a raspberry at him. James laughed.

He put his cup on the counter and retreated to his bedroom. He changed into sweatpants before laying flat on his bed, chest upward and heaving.

His breath was fast and shaky. He was not going to cry, no he wasn't. He sat up and wiped the tears off his face. No, this was not going to be how he reacted after hanging out with Michael.

But he was so nice, and James finally felt cared for. Maybe it was okay to cry this time. He broke down why he was crying, coming to the conclusion of too many emotions all at once, which made sense. He let himself cry, realizing that he was crying because of a good thing. He was cared for by someone. He trusted someone and felt comfortable around him.

James took a deep breath before putting his headphones on. He pressed play and smiled. "You Really Got Me" by Van Halen played extremely loudly in his ears, causing him to leap up out of his bed. He glanced in the mirror, his face red from crying and smiling wide.

Oh yeah, you really got me no-ow. You got me so I don't know what I'm doin'.

James danced stupidly, singing loudly along to the words. He jumped up and down, shaking his hips and kicking his feet.

He danced throughout the entire song, falling onto his bed once it ended. "Reel Around the Fountain" by The Smiths was next.

Fifteen minutes with you, I couldn't say no

Oh. This song greatly contrasted the song before it.

People said that you were virtually dead, and they were so wrong

James blushed. He was too exhausted to cry again, but he closed his eyes. It was only 7 pm, but he felt like it was much later. Falling asleep now wouldn't be ideal. He hadn't had dinner and the ice cream was only ice cream; it wasn't very filling.

He ignored that fact though, and dozed off to The Smiths.

He awoke to "Drive" by The Cars, and quickly sat up to check the time. 7:47 pm. His mother usually had dinner ready by 8 pm. Perfect.

He got up and stretched, pulling his headphones around his neck. He had paused the music, but kept the player in his pocket. His mother would probably scold him, but he didn't care. The music to him was a piece of Michael, and he wanted that boy as close to him as possible. He giggled at himself.

James walked downstairs, seeing his sister in the middle of setting the table. She gave him a dirty look when he arrived in the kitchen. He smiled smugly before standing next to his mother as she cooked.

"Watcha making?" He asked.

"Soup." She said as she stirred the pot. It looked like chicken noodle, and James smiled.

"Ooh, my favorite." He giggled.

"Yup, now outta the kitchen." She said sternly. James laughed and kissed her on the cheek.

"Yeah, you carrot." Heather said. "I had to set the table all by myself." She complained.

"What's with this carrot nickname?" James ruffled her hair. "And if you can watch the TV for 3 hours straight, you can set the table. You're a big girl." He said.

Heather stepped on his foot. James groaned and clutched his chest like he'd been shot. "Oh god, your stomp was so strong. I'm…" He staggered backwards. "I'm dying." He exaggerated.

Heather laughed. "Oh shut up." She said, shoving him. James gasped before picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder. She kicked and laughed, pounding on his back.

"Okay, kids. Dinner!" Their mother called.

Heather wrestled her way out of James’s grip and ran to the dinner table. James followed after, not running, and grabbed a can of soda.

"So how was Michael?" His mother asked once they began eating.

"Oooh, who's Michael?" Heather asked, wiggling her eyebrows.

"Shut up, Heather. He's my friend, I met him the other day on the bus." James said, his face pink.

Heather nodded with her lips pursed. "Suuure." She said. James kicked her under the table. She kicked him back.

"Stop it you two." Their mother said sternly. "How was your day Heather?"

"Good! I watched my new cartoon. I can't wait to talk about it tomorrow with my friends." She smiled.

"What was it about?" James asked.

Heather excitedly explained the plot of her favorite show, James half listening as he'd heard it about 50 times before every time there was a new episode.

They all finished dinner, making small conversation and telling jokes. They were a happy family most of the time, but they all had their flaws. Sometimes James’s mother would yell at him when yelling was not needed, and she would ignore and minimize most of his problems. She tried, but she still had a long way to go. Heather was good most of the time, but like all younger sisters, she had her moments. She'd be stubborn and petty, and she'd push every single one of James’s buttons. But hey, that was family.

"James? You with us?" His mother said.

James shook the sleep from his eyes. "Wha?" He said.

"God, you're tired." His mother laughed.

James laughed half heartedly. He cleared his plate and kissed his mother goodnight.

He dragged himself up the stairs and put his headphones back on. "Drive" resumed playing. He flopped onto his bed, immediately closing his eyes. He thought about Michael and the day he'd had. He thought about what Michael had said on the swings yesterday and how he had given him his hoodie. His face got warm and he let himself smile.

He really liked Michael. Like a lot. He couldn't tell if he liked him back, but he didn't know if he'd even want that yet. Yes, he did want him and definitely he had a crush on him, but he needed to know him more before even thinking about dating him. And he felt like Michael needed to know him more too. James promised himself that he'd tell Michael more about him, even if it was boring.

He drifted off into sleep, his headphones still on and playing his music.

#ough #twas a dosey #also i need stuff for james and michael to do before i'm able to rlly progess the story so send in ideas!#pls #zen writes things #title later

Another petty prompt: “If you leave another CD out of its case, you’re sleeping on the couch for the rest of time.” Luke/Reggie. I also think this is obvious.

oof, writing is hard today but i managed to get something down for this one. hope you like it!

-x-

"Reggie!!" Luke shouts angrily.

Reggie comes running out of the kitchen, finding Luke sitting cross-legged on the floor with his CD collection strewn everywhere.

"What…" Reggie stares at the mess before him. "...happened?"

"I could ask you the same thing!" Luke says as he crosses his arms. "What did you do?!"

"I didn't do anything?" Reggie replies, staring at Luke in utter confusion.

"Then why are my Green Day CDs missing?! You know how I feel about my collection getting messed up."

"Yeah, I do!" Reggie insists. "That's why I don't touch it!"

"So who did it?! Who would've done this??"

"I don't know--"

"It had to have been you!"

"It wasn't me!"

"There's nobody else!!" Luke shouts. "It was you!"

"I didn't--" Reggie tries to say again, but Luke won't listen.

"If you leave another CD out of its case, you're sleeping on the couch for the rest of time," Luke snaps as he starts trying to put all of his CDs back where they belong.

Reggie stays still for a minute, trying to figure out how he's getting blamed for something that absolutely was not his fault, but he comes up short. Eventually he leaves the living room, choosing to find sanctuary in the bedroom while he apparently still can.

Luke continues sitting on the floor for the next twenty minutes, fuming as he painstakingly puts all of the cases into alphabetical order on the shelf under the stereo. There's still no sign of any of his Green Day CDs despite the fact that all of the cases are there apart from one. The CDs have just vanished.

He's just finishing up when there's a knock at the door. He ignores it at first, but then it happens again and there's no sign of Reggie going to answer it so Luke reluctantly gets up to answer the door. Julie's standing on the other side, clearly not expecting Luke to have answered the door.

"Oh. You're home."

"Yeah?"

Julie laughs sheepishly and pulls one hand out from behind her back, holding out the missing Green Day CD case that very obviously isn't closed all the way. Luke stares at her for a moment before he takes it and opens it to find all of his other Green Day CDs inside of it.

"What the--"

"I'm sorry! I thought I'd make it back before you got home." Julie frowns and puts her hands together. "Please don't be mad at me, I swear I took really good care of them."

"But--" Luke sputters. "Why didn't you just take all of the cases??"

"They wouldn't all fit in my bag so I consolidated," Julie explains, still frowning. "Are you mad at me?"

Luke takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. "Next time, bring a bigger bag and tell me before you borrow them, okay?"

"Okay!" Julie smiles, throwing her arms around Luke in a quick hug before running off.

Luke closes the door and sighs deeply, feeling like a total jerk as he stares down at the CD case in his hand. He owes Reggie big time.

It was one of the weekend's evening, Anoli and Chris were walking back home after another date. The outside was cold, but fortunately our couple was wearing warm clothes to such occasion.

Anoli: That was a nice walk.

Chris: Indeed. I honestly thought that there will be a lot of people in the park, but seems like most of them prepare to make lazy weekends.

Anoli: Hehe, maybe we should try to make such weekends one day.

Chris: If it means to spend time together at home, i would not mind. Sadly it can't be during the week.

They giggled as kept walking and were almost close to Chris's home.

Anoli: So, what are your plans for tomorrow?

Chris: Well, maybe will do some cleaning and then do shopping for ingredients. And you?

Anoli: I'm honestly not sure yet, except helping Nazeel with studies.

Chris: You, Nazeel and me can do shopping together. It's more fun like this.

Anoli: You don't mind?

Chris: Not at all.

Anoli: Awesome! Then i will make sure to finish studies with him early.

Chris: Don't overwork you two~

He booped her nose as they both giggled. For couple of minutes they walked silently as both of them were blushing and in deep thought. What were they thinking about? As they got close to Chris's home, he looked at Anoli.

Chris: It's getting darker outside, maybe it's better if you stay at my home for today? It's dangerous to walk back home like this.

Anoli surprised for a moment. Her first thought was if Chris had the same thought as she, that made her blush for a moment.

Anoli: ? But you know that i'm an angel, love. I can always use my powers to get away.

Chris: I know, but....I will worry about you.

He looked down, blushing again. Anoli looked at Chris again with blush as looked around. It was definitely getting dark, and even if she could use powers, who knows what could happen. She smiled to Chris.

Anoli: It's so sweet of you, love. Okay, we can do such thing. I will only warn Liya and Nazeel to not wait for me for dinner.

Chris: Okay.

And Anoli made a call, telling Liya and Nazeel that she will be back tomorrow and explaining Liya what to cook for dinner. Just in case she sent message to Michael to keep an eye on them before they fall asleep. Meanwhile they got to Chris's home and they entered the appartement.

Chris: Welcome to my home.

Anoli: Thank you.

He helped Anoli with jacket and then they both entered.

Chris: Tea or coffee?

Anoli: Tea, please.

He smiled as went to the kitchen to make tea while Anoli walked to living room, looking around. The furniture wasn't that different from other people's houses, and yet the color pallete of them was surely different. In the living room there was a TV with DVD-player, next to it were several CDs with movies and video games. While she was looking, Chris made two cups of teas and came to living room.

Chris: Tea is ready~

Anoli: Oh, thank you, love~

She took a cup of tea as they both sat down to the couch.

Chris: Want to watch a movie?

Anoli: Would not mind.

They picked one from CDs that were next to TV and for an hour they watched a movie. While they were watching, Chris looked at Anoli, blushing as he held her hand. Anoli did the same as both were thinking to themselves.

Chris: "C'mon, Chris, be a man. Just ask her if she is okay with it and then we will see what we will do next. It's okay if she is not ready yet. I will understand everything. Just.....just, please, i hope she will not think about me differently"

Anoli: "I can't be like this anymore. Maybe for angels it's not right to do such thing, but....as long as couples trust each other, there's nothing bad, right? But what if....what if Chris say no? What will he think about me? What if he is against it?...I have to try. At least give it a chance"

Chris: Anoli, listen, I-

Anoli: Chris, I-

They froze for a moment. Nobody dared to say anything, no one dared to move. Just looked into each other's eyes. But Chris decided to break this silence.

Chris: Anoli, I.....I was wondering something.

Anoli: Yes, love?

Chris: I....What would you say if we.....we....

Anoli looked at blushing Chris as guessed what he wanted to ask. She knew that it would happen one day. But like this, she didn't expect.

Anoli: Chris, I.....I was wondering the same.

Chris: Really?

Anoli: Yeah. I was hesitating that you might find it weird or uncomfortable. Or even....that I'll be not like my angel nature.

Chris: What are you talking about? It's a normal thing for couple. I was hesitating too as I was afraid that you were not ready for it or that it's too early to do it.

Anoli: I thought the same.

They both were silent for a moment. No one of them expected such turn of event. Seemed like a couple of hours passed, even tho it was only just five minutes. And yet, they both knew that one day it was supposed to happen.

Chris: So, Anoli, do you think we.....we can give it a try? I-If you're okay with it, of course.

Anoli: I....I think we can. B-But only if you're feeling like this too.

Chris: I do. Do you feel the same, love? Do you feel like you're ready for it?

Anoli looked at Chris's eyes deeply and with blush.

Anoli: I do, love. Do you?

Chris: Yes. But before it, i need to ask you one more time, sorry.

Anoli: It's okay, i know how nervous it is.

Chris: Yeah, you're right

They both giggled with blush.

Chris: So.....Do you trust me? Do you trust me in doing it?

Anoli: I....I do trust you. Do you trust me?

Chris: I do....I do, love.

Anoli: Then.....shall we try?

Chris: Of course. Are you ready?

Anoli: I'm. And you?

Chris: I'm.

And with such words they kissed each other with passion and deeply. The kiss was so strong that they dived into the passion, moving from living room to Chris's bedroom. They didn't even pay attention to movie that was about to end as they were deep into love and passion that covered them both like a wave. Seemed like the whole night belonged to them......

......and they were ready to spend it with a new feeling that they both discovered.

lavender And Black - part 4

summary: Lily makes the reader realizes something right before her birthday

A\N: sorry that this is really late m=but university was killing me and I’m finally on vacation also I changed the name from half a life to lavender and black so I hope you don’t mind and again I hope you enjoy my bad writing :)

Sirius Black x Reader: because if I’m going to write about anyone it’s definitely Sirius :’)

The highlight of your third year at Hogwarts didn't happen when Hogwarts was open for classes again, it was actually in the summer of your second year. You always heard of your aunt but never got to know her since she died when you turned two, but the universe had a plan for you to discover a piece of her mind. You found her potion making journal where she recorded every single potion she made. You thought that her intention was to publish it, except you discarded that idea completely when you saw the instructions to a potion that you knew too well, your potion. Nobody knew about its existence, and the few that knew about it didn't know how to make it. So you went to Hogwarts with the book as another secret.

or so you thought.

The journal was discovered by your friends two weeks after your third year started. You realized then that keeping a secret from them wasn't an option anymore. Now anyone else in your place would've planned their funeral by now, but if there's anyone you trusted more than your parents it would be your friends. Some people might call you crazy because what's at risk is your life, but you can learn a lot about people in two years, and in two years you realized that your friends won't let you get scratched, let alone seriously injured. As for the journal itself, it was for sure going to be used to get better grades in potion class, you just didn't expect what happened a week later in the middle of the night.

The Marauders found out some information regarding potion class, and of course, you were the first one that they had to tell, and the fact that is was probably past 12 am wasn't going to stop them.

their plan was to take you to their room, but they were stopped by none other than Severus Snape the minute they stepped into the Slytherin common room.

" we just want to talk to y\n," explained Remus. He was the most calm out the marauders, but it was still obvious that he was not fond of Snape.

" If I were you I'd be more concerned about the trouble I'll get into for not being asleep than talking to y\n, " said Snape.

" yeah because you're tucked in bed right now," James replied to him. " hate to be the one with bad news but you're awake too"

" y\n is probably asleep " Snape informed them, his reply to James made it clear that the marauders will definitely not get in trouble anytime soon.

" yeah right, the only time y\n sleeps before 5 am is when you finally wash your hair, " said Sirius " she's pacing or reading a book right now "

before Snape had the chance to defend himself, you appeared with a book in your hand, and Sirius immediately gave Snape an I told you so fake smile.

" Hey, what are you doing here? " you asked your friends and they told everything. You were curious about what had to tell you, so you sneaked into their room, thankfully, you still had your aunt's journal with you because they told you that professor Slughorn was going to display 3 potions, and whoever identifies them gets to have liquid luck, which James wanted. They needed your help to learn how to recognize potions, after all, you were the best at them.

All of you gathered together for breakfast at the great haul the next morning. Out of all the topics you talked about your, birthday after a week was your favorite until Lily mentioned that Sirius will probably give the best gift since you’re basically dating. You didn’t know what it was, but something clicked in your head at that moment, but you continued with the conversation with the idea still in tieback of your head without realizing it.

The next morning at potion class professor Slughorn does exactly as what your friends told you he'd do. Lily was next to you that day, and so with three potions in front of you, you start guessing.

"This is definitely liquid luck," Lilly said pointing at the potion that looks like melted gold, and you agreed.

" Oh, I would recognize this anywhere ، this is Pepperup Potion for sure," you told Lily, and now you had one potion left. This one you couldn't identify by color and you didn't recognize it immediately, so you decided to smell it.

" It's Amortentia" you blurted out.

“ really what did it smell like? “ Lily asked, but she knew she won’t get an answer after you asked her to repeat what she said again because you didn’t hear her. Even though she definitely knew who it smelled like because you had the exact same look on your face this morning at breakfast, She decided to let you process all the realization because while everyone considered you and Sirius a couple, it was very obvious that you didn't, well until today at least.

Since breakfast, your mind couldn't stop thinking about it. Even if you liked him, there was no way you were going to tell him especially that you didn't know if he liked you back, and rejection was a thing you were trying to avoid at all costs, but more importantly, you were definitely not going to ruin your friendship, so your decision was to just keep the feeling in there and not talk about it with hope that it goes away, you had no idea if that's even possible, but for your friendship's sake you were willing to try.

Your birthday was finally here weeks later, and you were so excited to spend it with your friends. The day was already started well with a letter and a gift from your parents. You decided to celebrate your birthday with your friends after class in your room. You got your favorite songs on a cd from Lily, a rare edition of your favorite book from Remus, and a sweater from Jame's parents as well as a month of doing my homework from James himself. Everyone was there and gave you gifts except Sirius as he was the only one who still had classes to go to. He appeared right after you opened James's gift with a box in his hand.

" I made it, Finally! " he said out of breath with a box in his hand. You subconsciously smiled and totally forgot the speech you prepared in case he didn't show up at all and didn't have to be a psychic to know that Lily is smirking.

He sat next to you and handed the box you, he was clearly excited, but not as much as you. The box was black with a purple ribbon that you untied and the first thing that you spotted was a small box which you decided to open first, and in it was a necklace with a small glass ball filled with lavender to the half and It'll pass carved on it. Now Sirius thought it was a perfect gift because your anxiety can become really bad sometimes and the only thing that helps you relax is the lavender cream you own which is why every single person says you smell like lavender. The next gift was an invitation to go to all the different places at Hogsmeade signed by my parents.

" How did you get them to sign it? "

" I have my ways, besides they'll be waiting for you there "

You were really missing your parents so knowing that you'll see them and that Sirius was so thoughtful made you cry. You hugged him and whispered a thank you. It was after the hug that he told you there's one more gift left, a huge bottle of wine which you decided to share with all your friends by playing a game, a question is asked by any person in the group, and everyone drinks after answering the question. The game revealed some interesting information about everyone, like how lily rather die than relive her first date, What's next on Sirius's ways to drive my mother insane list and how Remus actually came up with the idea of marauders last prank.

By the time the question " what's the worst way to die? " was asked by Sirius you were definitely all drunk, and your answers, well let's just say were not what they would be different if the wine wasn't involved. James chose in vane while lily chose too soon and Remus chose in the hands of a beast.

" suddenly" you blurt out. " you're just going with your day normally not expecting anything and then poof, their gone and there's nothing you can do about it"

Everyone was clearly not expecting that kind of answer from you, and you could tell from the silence as well as their faces, but it was true, that's the worst way you could think of, and that after that day it wasn't only the worst way to die to you, but to all your friends as well. After some more celebration, all of your friends went to their room and sleep, still not forgetting that James has a Quidditch game to play tomorrow which is why the Quidditch field is the first place you went to after you all woke up.

James was a really good player, no one could deny that so it wasn't a surprise that he was the one who scored most of the points for Gryffindor, but the moment that got everyone on edge was when James was on his way to score and get that points that will break the tie between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.

Come on, come on” whispered Lily and James scored moments later followed by the Gryffindor's seeker catching the snitch.

“ Yes, he did it y/n! “

And everyone including you started to cheer while filled with happiness. Maybe it was because you had this look on your face before, or because it was the first time you saw Lily happy and excited like this, but that day staring at Lily, you were sure that Quidditch was not the only thing that James won that night.

What you were oblivious to is that after the game Dumbledore and McGonigal had a very important conversation.

" Do you think we should suggest that she uses a memory charm on her friends? " asked McGonigal. " The news is from a very trustworthy person. If it's true, I'm certain he will go after her if he discovers what she's capable of"

" She made her choice regarding that already Minerva, let us confirm that the news is true first then we'll know what to do"

Conversation

- A couple of thoughts about Taylor's song "Fifteen", from the Fearless CD. Back then, she wrote as if she was straight, in most of her lyrics, so they weren't nearly as subtle as they are today. "Fifteen" is about first year high school, but there's also the story she tells about Abigail's boyfriend, who Abby thinks might be "the one"... Here's what comes next...

"And Abigail gave everything she had

To a boy who changed his mind"

(with a ton of resentment packed into the way she sings the second line)

I've always assumed this meant they had sex, and when the guy breaks up with her, they "both cried".

Here's the problem I have with this... IF they had sex, presumably they BOTH wanted to have sex, & BOTH liked it, but then the guy decided the relationship wasn't working for him and broke it off.

Remember, this story takes place in HIGH SCHOOL, so first of all, what high school student - age 14 to 17, roughly - is imagining that the first guy (or girl) they have a relationship with is going to be "the one"? They're thinking about MARRIAGE in high school? I'm not a chick, so I don't know about your side, but wow, marriage was about the LAST thing on my mind, in high school. So that idea's crazy to begin with.

But what really bothers me is the part where Taylor writes that they "both cried", because Abby "gave everything she had" - meaning sex - as if Abigail's sexual experience with the guy was something SHE gave to HIM! It wasn't EQUAL, according to the lyric, it wasn't something they BOTH wanted and got something out of... Somehow, the decision to have sex was something Abigail POSSESSED and could BEQUEATH to her boyfriend if she wanted to, and it was purely a GIFT that she chose to give him!

Does anybody else see how totally fucked up that is? This is my gripe about the "MeToo" movement, which is supposedly about women wanting to be heard and empowered, but the "MeToo" thinking COMPLETELY IGNORES this huge problem between men and women, that women still seem to think they possess this magical gift, between their legs, that they get to withhold or put a price on (one way or another) and that men should have to sign a five-hundred page Terms of Agreement form if they want to have anything to do with them. That is just bizarrely fucked up, as I said.

Dear women, you don't OWN sex. If you get the idea that your body is some kind of commodity, a valuable bargaining chip that gives you POWER over every guy on Earth, no wonder so many of you start to HATE guys, as you get older. Believing that you can control men through sex diminishes you AND empowers men... Making a guy PAY for sex - and by "pay" I mean ANY situation where your sex is something you're TRADING on, totally warps the relationship.

And by the way, I hope you're not going to say, "Oh, it's all the guy's fault - he's offering money" - because WOMEN are the one demanding, or at least accepting, those terms.

I really think it's on women not to sell out. If Abigail thought she was "giving" something to the guy by having sex with him, she shouldn't have had sex with him.

I don't know why Taylor and Abby were crying - she had sex, she liked it - what right did she have to "expect" anything from the guy? That's a big part of the problem, IMAO.
