Does anyone else have a dedicated room or place for break downs? I’ve got the downstairs bathroom. I remember sobbing in that grubby little room. Good times.

summary: Sukuna tries to teach Yuuji self-defense, but of course, he happens to forget how helpless the toddler is.
cw: mentions of death/kidnapping, reader gets called helpless
wc: 1.4k
a/n: i love them so much. its so fun to write this au!!
big brother au masterlist
Tumblr media
When you walk into the living room, you can’t help but smile. Truly, was it a rarity to see Sukuna and Yuuji getting along nicely. Of course, Yuuji was always sweet, but Sukuna was a brat and found that hanging out with a four-year-old was not really his cup of tea. Or at least, that’s what he proclaims to you.
Yuuji throws a punch at his brother’s hand, brows furrowing in concentration. Sukuna sits on the floor, cross-legged, and in front of Yuuji, who was standing at his full height. The older sighs, “Well, that was pathetic. Harder.”
The boy nods, obviously trying to hold back a smile. He wanted to seem just as serious as Sukuna did, but it was hard for the toddler due to how smiley he always seemed to be. But he lets out a tiny huff and brings his fists up to his face. Then, he makes a little “Hii-ya!” noise and slams his fist into Sukuna’s open palm.
“Okay, this ain’t working. Fuck, how are we of the same bloodline? I was not this weak,” Sukuna complains to himself, pulling his hands down. 
You roll your eyes and step into the room. “Maybe because he is a four-year-old. Don’t think it’s his job to be strong,” You say, and Sukuna’s eyes flicker to you. A smile pulls at his lips, and the man begins to stand up from the floor to greet you. Yuuji beats him to it though, letting a high-pitched squeal in excitement before running over to you.
You grin at the noise, watching the boy waddle over to you with bright eyes. You crouch down to his level and greet him, ruffling his hair. Then you pinch at his cheeks, ignoring the whine of complaint from Yuuji. “You are way too cute to fight! Huh, no fighting for you. You just gotta stay this small forever!” You coo, peppering kisses to the boy’s cheeks and forehead. 
The boy lets out a fit of giggles and a “Noooo! Wanna be big like Kuna!”
You shake your head, a fake pout on your face. “But Sukuna isn’t cute at all,” You half-heartedly complain, sparing a glance at your lover.
He walks up to the two of you and picks up Yuuji by the back of his hood, causing the kid to squirm in the air. Sukuna pays no mind to it, instead looking toward you, who is standing back up. “Don’t lie,” He scolds, and you raise your eyebrows, “I am adorable.”
You chuckle at him, rolling your eyes, and he in return presses a quick kiss to your lips. His brother begins to whine in complaint, causing the older to roll his eyes. “Yeah, yeah, quit whining. I’ll put you down in a second, little pest, but you need actually to put in some effort to fight me.”
“Okay!” Yuuji exclaims, and Sukuna sighs. Yuuji was so agreeable. When Sukuna was that age, he was supposedly a brat who argued with everyone, or at least that is what he had heard. Yuuji was strangely different than him. He didn’t know if he minded it or not.
Sukuna puts the boy down and sits again on the floor. He glances at you, who is taking a seat on the couch. Your eyes seem to read, play nice. It makes Sukuna want to roll his eyes, but the kid distracts him again, his tiny hands placed on the knees of Sukuna’s sweatpants while he grins up at his brother. The little beast had no concept of personal space, and the older of the two swears he can feel his brother practically breathing on him.
Sukuna pushes the boy off, sending him falling on his backside. “Sukuna,” You warn, but he ignores you. Yuuji only frowns and gets back up again, climbing back over to the other.
“Pretend im a kidnapper,” Sukuna demands, straightening his back and moving closer, taunting the small boy. “I am a very bad man who is going to take you home with me and lock you in my–”
“Sukuna!” You interrupt before Yuuji could hear his brother’s unneeded explanation. Yuuji seemed to stare owlishly at his brother, a little nervous but mostly confused about what he was talking about.
The man grins at you and shrugs his shoulders. But he abides to your wish with a scoff. “...Do bad things to you,” He weakly finishes. “Now, defend yourself!” 
Yuuji’s hands go up into his mouth, tiny fingers playing with his lips, and he shakes his head with a giggle. “But big brother will protect me!”
Sukuna pinches the bridge of his nose, and you let out a small laugh. “I’m dead.” Yuuji’s face visibly falls. “The kidnapper killed me because you were too weak to defend yourself and save me. Now look, Y/N is all alone and helpless because of you.”
Your mouth opens in shock at the bluntness of it all. Yuujis eyes are wide, and he goes silent for a second. Then, his mouthline begins to wobble, and his eyes begin to water. “Kuna gone?”
Sukuna begins to backtrack, not wanting to deal with his brother’s tears. He stumbles toward the child, eyes wide. “It’s a hypothet–”
Yuuji’s scream sends you scrambling to your feet and over to the pair immediately. You grab Yuuji by the waste and swing him around, a huge, forced smile on your face. “And boom!” The force of it all startles the small boy, and he pauses his cries for a moment with owlish eyes while you continue to swing him around. “Y/N comes in and saves the day! And guess what, Sukuna was just sleeping!”
You place Yuuji on your side and help wipe his tears away. Only about two or three fell before you grabbed him, but still, his eyes seemed to be slightly puffy. The boy continues to sniffle, hands rubbing at his eyes. “Just sleeping?”
Before you could answer, Sukuna tears the boy from your arms. He holds him up in front of him by both of Yuuji’s underarms, causing the boy to dangle in the air. “I’m offended that you would think I would die so easily, brat.”
A smile begins to crawl up Yuuji’s face, but he shakes his head, and his voice holds a whine to it.  “Don’t. Don’t like it.”
Sukuna sighs before placing the boy on his hip. Yuuji seems to find comfort there, burying his head into his brother’s shirt. It was rare to be held by Sukuna, and Yuuji obviously wanted to soak up all the time he has up there. “Yeah, I don’t think I would like being dead either. Luckily, your brother is the strongest, so you won’t have to worry bout that, yeah?”
Yuuji nods into his brother’s side, grinning and possibly wiping snot onto Sukuna. You take this time also to add your say in the matter. “And I’m not helpless.” You glance at the man who was just remembering what he said in the moment.
“C’mon, maybe just a little?” He teases, and you step closer to the pair, fighting back a smile. But before you could retort another teasing bite, the boy interjects his opinion.
“Nuh-uh! Y/N saved us. You sleeping, Kuna!”
You fake gasp in realization of his words, and Yuuji’s eyes light up. “Oh my, you are so right, Yuuji! Don’t you think he is the helpless one?” You coax, and Yuuji seems to lean toward you at your excited tone.
He nods his head rapidly, not really knowing what he is agreeing to but just trying to mimic your actions. “Kuna helpless!”
Sukuna rolls his eyes at the two of you and pinches the boy’s cheek, looking down at his brother. “Says the one who had a whole breakdown over the word–”
“Sukuna.”
Sukuna takes a deep breath and glances at you and Yuuji’s big dark eyes. He shakes his head in defeat, “Yeah, guess I am, ain’t I?”
You crack a smile, and Yuuji squeals in delight, digging his tiny hands into his brother’s shirt. Sukuna ruffles the boy’s hair.

How Dethklok shows their love to you
Nathan Explosion
Tumblr media
We all know about Nathan’s tendency to hyper focus on his current interest; mans got strong feeling and he wants to let everyone know just how happy you make him. So he shows you off, every chance he gets. Especially to the paparazzi. Once he’s settled into the relationship, he’s getting all cuddly and smiley in front of the cameras, quite rare for the media to see. He calls his parents nearly every week just to brag about you, it’s so sweet.
Motherfucking Nathan Explosion. One of the biggest names in the world, certainly the biggest in music and entertainment. A man who handcrafted a revolution of lyrics and rhythm. A man the world worships and the population craves. And yet, when he’s real smitten for someone, it’s awfully easy to make him shy. Just small, flirty things will get his face beet red and stuttering over his words in an instant, so incredibly enamored with everything you do. Whisper some sweet-nothings to him and he’ll become putty in your hands.
Nathan is very…specific when it comes to most aspects in life. He’s picky and stubborn and usually has his mind set for any decisions. But, you, as his S/O, own his utmost trust. So, before the final choice is made, he makes sure to get your opinion on it. Whether it’s small things or large decisions, he wants to hear what you think and will definitely take it into consideration. You have the ability to loosen him up on some settlements, much to Charles’ thanks.
Okay, the end of season 4 was an exaggeration, but Nathan does have a difficult time admitting when he’s wrong. Apologizing just really pokes at his large yet fragile ego. But, when he finally gets rid of some pride and realizes he fucked up with you, he’ll make the effort to apologize. Even if it’s not directly, you’ll get little gifts and gestures that lets you know that he really is sorry.
Pickles The Drummer
Tumblr media
This one’s kinda silly, but here me out; Growing up, all of Pickle’s possessions were either hand-me-downs, stolen by Seth, or taken away as punishment from his parents. He didn’t get many stuff that was his. So, as an adult who could have all the material possessions he wants, he’s become a bit greedy. Until pretty lil you came up and stole his heart from him. At that point, he’s practically forcing himself to share everything with you. Food, clothes, anything. Something about seeing you with his stuff makes him feel really good inside.
Worries about you. Hoo-boy, as much as he hates to admit it, he’s got total mom brain when it comes to anxiety. Anytime you’re five minutes late or slightly more quiet than usual, he’s darting around, thinking that he somehow messed up and you hate him and now he’s gotta fix it. Please reassure him, he’s gonna give himself an asthma attack.
Pickles, uh, doesn’t have the best memory. Probably from the constant abuse of drugs and alcohol. I don’t think the dude knows anything that happened to him from age 20 to 25. But, he wants to make the effort. So, he’ll remember the little things about you, basic likes and dislikes, something you said, etc. When he acts upon it, like buying some of your favorite food, and you get all happy about it, he’s so proud of himself. He loves making you happy.
“Punch first, ask later. Or don’t ask at all.”That’s how he lives a whole lot of his life, especially in bars or parties. MF got some agitation issues. But when you get involved? Someone looks at you even slightly wrong? They’re getting their asses beat, he’ll defend the shit out of you.
In addition to that^…He’s definitely used to getting a ton of shit from his family and he just takes it. Because they don’t really like Pickles, there’s a good chance Seth and his parents will hate you and they’ll let you know it. This is when he cracks down. He yells at them for several minutes about what a wonderful person you are, what shitty people they are, and that they can talk about him all they want but not you. Definitely scares them straight.
Toki Wartooth
Tumblr media
Oh, man does Toki love to spoil you! The way your face lights up when he manages to get you another perfect (and expensive) gift makes his heart flutter. He’s very good at it to; buying you things you didn’t even know you wanted but always cherish. He especially likes to get you custom-made stuff, something very cheesy.
He has a bit of a hyperactive mind, without something specific to focus on, he’ll constantly be bouncing around. But, despite this, he absolutely loves to listen to you in a way he can’t with other people. While he’s putting together a model or coloring or maybe practicing guitar (once in a blue moon), he likes to have you there, just ranting while he nods along. Even if he doesn’t get all the details, the sound of your voice is enough for him.
When you’re around him, he’s pretty much always going to be touching you. Sometimes it’s small things, like holding hands, knees together under a table, occasional cheek kisses. Other times, he’s practically hanging onto you like a sloth. Additionally, he absolutely loves to scoop you up at random moments and just hold you for a while. He’s strong, he can handle it.
It’s very clear that Toki is a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to love. Even if it’s unrealistic, he will often imagine a future with you, the classic getting married, having children, growing old. A nice, suburban, and perfect lifestyle. He knows that he can’t ever get rid of his rock n roll persona, but there’s a piece of him that’s completely dedicated to simply loving you for the rest of his days.
Skwisgaar Skwigelf
Tumblr media
First of all; it’s going to take a while to establish yourself as more than just some sex to Skwisgaar. He needs to know you’re not someone trying to brag that they fucked a rockstar. Once he realizes that’s you mean something to him (and vice versa), he relaxes! He gets vulnerable, gets emotional and cuddly and more romantic than you’d expect! He no longer has to keep up the persona, you see the side of him that no one else really does.
Along with this, he’s willing to be more silly than with you! He’s got an even bigger ego than Nathan and hates to look like a fool in front of all his fans. But when he’s around you, he allows himself to make some jokes, mess up a few times and laugh about it. Seeing you laugh makes the small amount of humiliation worth it to him.
Skwisgaar has practically heard it all when it comes to compliments; he’s an international sex symbol and a music mastermind, after all. There’s nothing he hasn’t been praised for. So, he thinks it’s only natural that he compliments the hell out of you just like others do to him. From wake to sleep, he’s giving you all sorts of flattery on how you look and congratulates you on every accomplishment, no matter how small. He likes to feel proud of his darling and makes sure you know it.
Despite him having a long line of past lovers behind him, Skwisgaar gets jealous very easily. Call it a toxic trait, but he’ll flirt with anyone he sees while glaring at anyone who sees you. And his glares are proven to be lethal. Just be careful, cause he can have anyone he deems ‘too touchy’ with you assassinated with the flick of a wrist.
William Murderface
Tumblr media
William thinks he’s soo lucky to have you in the first place, he practically worships the ground you walk on. His mind is pretty much on you every moment of the day; every dream he has at night is about you. He’s obsessed with the way you look, the way you act, he’s always staring at you with a dumb, happy smile on his face. Anything you need, he’ll make it happen for you.
I personally feel that he’s a lot smarter than he seems; particularly about history, historical weaponry, and cars. So, when he gets the chance, you get your ass he’s gonna rant to you about all the random stuff that’s up in his brain. He’s an extreme pessimist by nature, but when he’s speaking about the things he truly cares about, he’s seems so enthusiastic and energized, even more so when you actively listen and ask questions.
While Murderface certainly talks a lot, he doesn’t really…express, you know? Most of his conversations are surface-level and to the point. But when he’s comfortable with you, he likes to have deep conversations about things most people think he’s too stupid to care about. Ethics, philosophy, religion. He’s no expert, but everyone has their own beliefs. He wants to share his and to hear yours. Sometimes, he gets really into it, occasionally crying. These moments are important to him and he loves to be with you during them.
Let’s admit it; William isn’t conventionally handsome in anyway. A good reason for that is because he simply doesn’t care or have the patience for proper hygiene. Still, he wants to really impress you, so he starts taking care of himself more. He gets some better products, puts a little more thought into how he dresses, even eats slightly better. It’s not a big difference, but it’s something and it’s noticeable over time.
Bonus^ If you have a skincare routine, he’s going to be right next to you, mesmerized by all the creams and serums and cleansers. Even better if you apply some to him, he gets so soft.

PAC Pick a Song - What About You Currently Shines Brightest?
Sup y'all, I'm back in time for the start of Leo season with another pick a card reading! The full moon is coming right up and I will likely do a reading for that as well very shortly, but I already had this done the other day and wanted to get it finally posted after much delay!
Below here are three cards to choose from belonging to the now-obsolete board game DropMix. It was a game connected to an app now unfortunately no longer in service, but it allowed the game to play by having chips in the cards activate a code that would send to a phone app to tally points as well as play music. You could pile the different cards together on a jockey board based on color and basically create your own remixes. You could play or make freestyle music. My basic pack has as many cards as the minor arcana + 4, so I thought these would be fun to bring out and work with for the partygoing Leo energy that's budding this late summer.
Tumblr media
1, 2, 3
Pile 1. The Weeknd - Can't Feel My Face
Cards: Baroness (Fire, Leo); "I am in touch with my purpose and passion in life"; 7 of Swords, XIX Sun, XVIII Moon
Tumblr media
(Okay just a quick note I just gotta let u know that I eventually plan to paint over the Sun card for my only RWS-esque deck because the smiley face creeps me out lol so I put a tiny candle over its haunting face. The Sun is supposed to be a positive card dangit!)
Anyway back to your reading! Right off the bat I feel like you're gonna be shining bright this season no matter how you personally feel about summer, get in the mood and live it up! Light that bonfire. Jump in the pile of autumn leaves. Tap into your senses in the most innocent and playful way. I feel like you shine brightly when you get excited about literally anything in your life, it could be a new brand of coffee or new pair of jeans or something but people like how you react to things. Reminds me of Youtubers who have these funny but authentic personalities as they review random products or whatever.
I feel like you can get so in love with something that you kinda, as the song suggests, "go numb" and let everything else fizzle away from your focus. But the thing to remember is that all those other things are still there even if they don't light you up. It's all about learning to find the sweet spot between really enjoying the moment and being in flow with the best of things while also attending to the gritty details. It doesn't mean you should "go numb" in the other direction by only focusing on practical things. When I see Sun and Moon in the same three card reading I am reminded of Temperance because you're trying to balance two different energies together that are ultimately meant to work together. Manifestation+work, joy+catharsis, reason+instinct, yeah? It's a lot to seesaw back and forth every day but 7 of swords tells me that you find ingenious ways to pull it off. Don't let the shyness snuff the light out, and don't let the egoic sense of duty override your needs.
If you feel like sometimes you have to sneak away to find time to enjoy what makes you shine from the inside, I'm getting guidance for the collective to simply learn how to share a little bit of what you're doing while balancing it with the part of you that wants to protect your creative ideas and work on them. Again, there's a message here about balance. You don't have to spill everything about your life to the first person who asks, but at the same time there will be people who benefit from your fiery energy. Your interests and talents deserve to take up some space, pile 1. I think this pile just shines in general even if you're not always aware of it, even if it's incredibly subtle. It's in the little things.
⊱ ──── {.⋅ ♫ ⋅.} ─── ⊰⊱ ──── {.⋅ ♫ ⋅.} ─── ⊰⊱ ──── {.⋅ ♫ ⋅.} ─── ⊰
Pile 2. Evanescence - Bring Me to Life
Shield (Fire, Sagittarius); "I attract relationship in harmony with my authentic self"; 5 of Cups, 10 of Pentacles, 9 of Pentacles
Tumblr media
This pile could be going through some awakening period right now. I know, I know, it may sound cliché with "wake me up inside" as the lyrics, but it occurred to me that the Shield in your card is like this old energy that has been barricading you from material experiences. Like this is a pile who's really already been in the thick of the brambles and is wanting to come out. The Sagittarius arrow sign is in my mind like a flare set off from deep in the woods as if to say, "hey! I'm over here, come find me!" It's being let off in the sky in the hopes of rekindling some sort of lost connection to something, could be a person or to a certain goal. You currently shine brightest when it comes to relating to others, and seeking out positive relationships.
It could be that you've gone through some disrupting experiences that have encouraged you to wall off to self heal. This may have taken a long period of time to work through. I feel that you're moving into a part of the thicket where more light is pouring in from the outside, that you're near the end of a long isolating tunnel. You're entering a phase of your life where you're ready to have connections that feel more solid and real, rather than fairweather friendships. You're looking for sustainability, for people to have some sense of loyalty with. People with whom you can truly enjoy the abundance of life. The main issue is that grief and isolation can becomes habits that we may need to temper with in order to allow the new. Forgive yourself when you still feel the need to retreat even as you begin to stand out more. Depending on how long it's been, it can be quite an adjustment.
Maybe abundance is coming a little slow here, as the green color here is blocky. But it's rich like emerald, so once it's found, things will transform in your life radically. It's saying that even if you identify as an introvert, there is still "treasure" to be found in building new relationships. It could be totally virtual. But you shine from making the most out of the opportunities that your current or as of yet undiscovered relationships have to offer. You have a lot to offer others as well. I do get a strong teaching role from this pile. Maybe you've thought about going into teaching. I think your students would see you as sensitive and resourceful.
⊱ ──── {.⋅ ♫ ⋅.} ─── ⊰⊱ ──── {.⋅ ♫ ⋅.} ─── ⊰⊱ ──── {.⋅ ♫ ⋅.} ─── ⊰
Pile 3. LMFAO - Sexy and I Know It
Marigold (Water, Scorpio); "I am wise and wonderful"; 6 of Pentacles, 2 of Pentacles, 10 of Cups
Tumblr media
Your reading is so clear to me, you shine brightest when you are fully present in the moment and loving what you're doing and who you're being. I don't think this pile likes to waste any time lol. I think you've had some hard experiences that have taught you how to value the time and resources you have, especially when you give this energy way generously. And I get the sense that you're learning how to manage both the philanthropy side of things with the personal fulfillment side. You're learning that one does not necessarily require the sacrifice of another. Compromise, maybe, but not at a net loss. You can give without overextending the hand, you can seek out bliss in life without taking it away from others.
This is not a common trait to shine in, pile 3. It's a mature place to shine, but not always easy to develop. It's required a lot from you right from the beginning. There were probably some things you had to let go to make it all work before. But it doesn't always have to be that way. Your ability to rise above the situation, brush the dust off your coat and move forward is what makes you shine. Although I'll say this: even if it looks like all is going well, you're still allowed to feel whatever grief is stored up inside you. It's part of moving past it in order to make the most out of the present.
Some of these experiences may have had something to do with your sense of confidence, your body image, how your present yourself to others, self-expression, and I'm also getting pretty privilege as a topic. Self worth over buying the right kind of things too… I think you're letting your hair down finally. You're letting some outdated ideas about your image go, you shine when you declare yourself to be beautiful and sexy "just because". Why does there need to be a reason? Some people might tell you that you, in particular, aren't "allowed" to feel good in your own skin and clothes. Some may get threatened by your confidence. But it's because that's where you shine and it's up to them to adjust their vision. Tell em to make an optometrist appointment if they can't handle seeing your presentation.

COMFORTING YOU AFTER BEING CATCALLED.
PT. 2 (other fandoms)
very much needed comfort for myself and anyone else who needs it <3 this is the first piece that’s shamelessly for myself fully so i hope you guys enjoy it either way :)
WARNINGS: obviously catcalling - cursing - comfort - violence - mentions of killing kinda? (very angry boyfriends) - reminder this is based on personal experience and how i react to these situations at times, everyone deals with this differently so don’t be rude :)
ORDER: mitsuya - chifuyu - nahoya (smiley) - rindou - ran
A/N: this is my first time writing the haitanis & nahoya :) a big thank you to @arozaur & @bxnten for reading through this :)
Tumblr media
— takashi mitsuya.
it was quiet when you walked into the house, way too quiet yet you didn’t seem to care as you were still in the state of shock. the sound of the door closing took mitsuya’s attention, making him put down his pen from all the sketching.
“welcome home love.” mitsuya smiled at you when walking into the living room, frowning a bit when all you did was nod. you usually said something back to him yet your face was enough for him to understand that something was off and was bothering you.
miysuya didn’t say anything and just got off his chair, opening his arms as he walked over to you.  “it’s okay, come here.” he told you in a sweet and comforting tone, wrapping his strong arms around you. instantly relaxing, you hugged him back and closed your eyes. 
you felt safe in his arms, safer than you did seconds ago. mitsuya always made you feel safe, no matter the situation. 
Tumblr media
— chifuyu matsuno.
“what’s wrong?” chifuyu questioned, looking over at you after a deep sigh left your lips. “got catcalled, again.” you answered, your tone clearly sounding upset. he froze in his movements, his face clearly showing how angry was as he made his hands into fists, digging his nails into his skin.
“was i there? did i miss it— i swear to god im g-“ chifuyu started, being cut off by your words. “you weren’t, it was today.” you answered, looking at him with a fake smile, hoping he wouldn’t see through it and calm down.
chifuyu felt guilty, guilty for not being there and being able to protect you. especially knowing how uncomfortable catcalling made you. he was so angry, why would people do that? did they think it was a compliment? all he wanted to do was go out and kill that person but he knew he couldn’t. not when you were so upset and needed his support more than anything.
“i’m sorry i couldn’t be there.” he broke the silence, carefully wrapping his arms around you. “you’re safe now, i’m here for you always.” chifuyu mumbled quietly, holding you tightly, not wanting to let go.
Tumblr media
— nahoya kawata.
“where.” nahoya asked right after you explained to him what happened. “on the street of the grocery store we always go to.” you answered, wondering if you did the right thing, knowing how nahoya gets when he’s mad.
“mhm thank you.” he mumbled, nodding at souya who happened to be over at your place. “you’re going aren’t you?” you questioned, being pulled in a hug by him. “yeah, i’m sorry.” he mumbled. “i gotta take care of business and then i’ll be all yours okay?” nahoya told you and all you did was nod, knowing there was no way of stopping him.
“i’m sorry, i love you.” he apologized, pecking your lips and getting up after, sending a reassuring smile your way. “souya, stay here with them.” nahoya warned, leaving the house after.
nahoya was beyond pissed and you both knew that, no matter how hard he tried to hide it. no one touches or talks bad about what his and comes out of it unharmed. if they do, don’t call him smiley. they were done for and in his opinion, it’s what they deserved.
Tumblr media
— rindou haitani.
you walked into the bonten hideout, being slightly panicked and noticing all eyes on you. ignoring all the looks, you made your way towards rindou. he was sitting in his chair, waiting on you with open arms while already coming up with a plan in his head for whoever dared to bother you.
“rin–“ you started, relaxing in his arms. “some people outside-” you tried to explain, being cut off by his words. “some people bothered you didn’t they?” he questioned, gently rubbing your back, already knowing more than enough from the way you walked in. rindou had been with you long enough to easily guess what’s bothering you without you even telling him.
“shhh, you’re safe now.” he reassured you, glancing over at the guys, telling them to mind their business with just that look. “thank you rin.” you mumbled quietly, relaxing in his arms and smiling weakly, enjoying this moment while it lasted because you knew rindou was going to do something about those people. you knew he would show them what the haitanis were capable of like he always did.
rindou was surprisingly good at comfort, especially at moments like this. it always surprised you how calm he was able to stay in those moments but it genuinely meant the world to you.
Tumblr media
— ran haitani
panicked and uncomfortable, that was how you felt when you walked into the bonten hideout. ran looked up from whatever he was doing, frowning a bit but immediately knowing something was up. he made his way over to you and gave the guys a look, putting his full trust into the two guys and that was all they needed to know. especially when this wasn’t the first time that ran ordered them to take care of something.
“go get them.” ran told them, pulling you in a hug after, holding you closely and tightly. “they won’t bother you anymore.” he whispered into your ear, kissing the top of your head after. “thank you, ran.” you answered, not even trying to fight back on this, knowing that when he had his mind set on something, he’d do anything in his power to make it true, especially if it included some kind of violence
“don’t thank me, you know i’d do anything for you.” ran reassured you, looking you in the eyes and softly pecking your lips. “you just continue making me happy and just being you alright?” he asked and you nodded. 
“let me take care of the dirty work and turn a blind eye to it, alright?” he smiled down at you, loosening his grip. slightly grinning, knowing that those guys were getting fucked up while he could be here with you and comfort you when you needed him.

in which you and your favourite kratt share a rather domestic moment. the subject? the tiny pricks of hair that have begun to poke out from the lower half of his face <3

a.n. tfw you write "hcs" but they're literally just bullet point outlines for oneshots - GAH!! ...anyway, GOSH such lovely weather we're having today, huh? =]

━ if you're gonna get a good and thorough shave out of him, it's gotta be first thing in the morning when the rest of the gang is asleep; which is nice for him, being the early bird and all. you? mmn not so much.
━ you'll have him sit on top of the toilet lid before you work your magic with the mini razor at hand, his lower face already covered in fluffy white shaving cream. he tries his best to stay still for you, honest! but when your fingers grab the other side of his jaw and leave ghostly touches on his neck? he's bound to get ticklish! and cue the chuckles reverberating in his chest.
━ very smiley and shifts quite a lot. it's very hard to keep the razor steady when he's squirming, and your stern chastising can only do so little to keep him still. he's softly laughing—telling you through wheezes that he'll calm down, just give him a sec! yeah, nooo, once this guy has got his smileys on, it's nearly impossible for him to undo all that.
━ it's way too early for this; six in the morning to be exact. you're half asleep and the last thing you wanna do is end up slitting his cheek on accident. let out a sigh, pull his chin gently towards you and he, with a teasing grin, will joke about how serious you look right now. your eyebrows are furrowed in deep concentration, tongue poking out through your lips and to him, it's the cutest thing ever! thing is, you have no intention of paying him any mind as you continue on with your cycled movements (perhaps you'll retort back with a quip or a small hum, perhaps not.)
━ there'll be a brief silence—eerily calm—and it doesn't take long for you to feel that inkling of suspicion, and so? you lift your gaze from the skin near his jaw to meet his eyes of ocean blue. he'll look at you as if your eyes were specked with the morning stars—his sun bursting with life, bringing him warmth in the form of serenity. when your eyes meet his own, his lips form a soft, amused smile. he'll instantly press them together tightly, like he'd rather bite them than smile as if to not interrupt your concentration, but of course, a snicker escapes him, and so does a sweet “hello," (save for the wiggle of his eyebrows.)
━ realize that theres no point in trying to stop his antics. he's the wave at high tide; cathartic and consuming. he's the crash that kisses the sand; urging you to take a step forward before it swallows you whole. realize this: that'll do it. swipe a glob of shaving cream off his cheek and smear it across his nose. his eyes will widen in surprise, every laugh of his resonant and unapologetically carefree soon after! he'll grab a handful of cream off his face and smudge it across your own cheek and yep, you two are now officially at war. he's quick to think, will grab the shaving cream canister and will plan on chasing you around with it. you can try reaching for the canister all you want, but he'll block you with his body at every chance! so caught up in trying to get the shaving cream to pour away from your hands that the dork forgets to look where he steps and falls butt-first into the bathtub, letting go of the canister and pulling you down with him. nobody gets hurt, but it does elicit a boom of uncontrollable laughter. he'll tightly encircle his arms around your waist and lean his head into the crook of your neck, completely disregarding the leftover shaving cream on his face thats rubbing off on you. his laughs tickle you silly, and just before the energy simmers down, he'll tilt his neck upwards to meet your lips in a chaste kiss, the palm of his hand cupping your cheek! with all that said, you two will get back to tending to his face... eventually.

━ yet another early bird, but unlike his brother, he's a bit more easier to cooperate with. though, that doesn't necessarily mean that there won't be any mishaps along the way. on the contrary!
━ sit him down on the toilet lid and his natural instinct is to rest his hands on your hips. he knows you're tired, and holding you like this is the least he can do. keeps you still, keeps you close. but then? he's slightly red in the face when your fingers tenderly touch the skin of his neck, chin and cheek. he chuckles a bit, but it's more of a hum than a full on laugh. apply the shaving cream to his face and he'll jolt in his seat—cold! his eyes will slip shut, instantly leaning into your touch though; once again, anything to make it easier for you.
━ when he opens his eyes, however, he is faced with a rather embarrassing predicament: where is he supposed to look? he could keep his eyes on you, yes, but wouldn't that be distracting? he'll opt to look to the side opposite of you, but it's more than obvious to you that he's having quite the difficult time. his actions beckon you to gently laugh, and your laugh beckons him to raise a brow at you; a slight hiccup in the way he's snickering out a light "what?" with a small tug to your hips.
━ call him out on how's he's acting like an awkward mess and all this guy can do is playfully roll his eyes and come clean. advise him to not think about it too much and that if he'd like, he can keep his eyes on you—now and whenever he'd like. alright then, he'll muse aloud, he'll keep that in mind.
━ now in theory, that should've been enough for you to proceed with smooth sailings, but, you're with a kratt brother—there is no such thing as "smooth sailings". he'll look at you as you glide the razor under his chin, and then you'll look back up at him which will instantly prompt you two to chortle and cackle at each other. your laughs dance with one another before they fade. for a minute, it seems like everything is back to normal, but take one quick look at him and that's all it takes for you two to become a giggling mess again. goof around and tell him that he's making it hard for you to concentrate and he'll respond with a lively "me?", stating that he hasn't even done a thing! if anything, you're the one making it difficult!
━ he'll talk on and on trying to defend himself with pointless reasoning, the smile he has on display never faltering. at this rate, you'll get nowhere with him constantly blabbering. gently smush his lips together to get him to stop talking, and he will… but hear him out! nonno, listen, listen! and theeere he goes again :') playfully and softly pat his cheek to the side and he'll chuckle out a hearty "fine, fine. you win." with the both of you having agreed to keep your guys' composure, and him having compromised to keep his eyes shut in the meantime, you're off tending to some finishing touches. it's quiet, but your silence isn't empty. it's the kind that allows you to bask in each other's presence. his hands are still planted firmly on your waist, one hand tracing patterns into your hip while the other keeps your body close enough to feel your warmth. once you're done, press a kiss against the corner of his mouth and his eyes will practically shoot right open! he's all set and ready to start the day, but before that, he'll make sure to reciprocate the gesture and give you a quick smooch on the lips—a symbol of his gratitude! <3

It's day four and we're posting up early today because a gal's gotta work tonight. As usual thank you @gallavichthings for this fun list of prompts and for putting this all together.
To Sir, With Love four - teachers
The teacher’s lounge is like a time capsule, set in resin in the late ‘70s and never changed a day since. There’s something kind of comforting about it.
The whole neighborhood has changed so much the last few years, housing developers and rich lesbians and ‘young professionals’ transforming the bleak streets of his youth into lush green pastures and driving up the price of every single fucking thing. The price of beer at the corner store by his apartment is fucking insane, and if he wants to eat a vegetable every once in a while he practically has to take out a loan.
The teacher’s lounge though, that can always be relied on to look and feel and smell exactly the same as the day before, and the day before that, and the day before that. Piles of papers stacked high on every surface, a collection of typewriters and ash-trays in the corner by the microwave, remnants of a bygone era, the disposal of which seems to be nobody’s job. The faded sparkles in the stained linoleum that try valiantly to glimmer, the stale but sustaining aroma of years of coffee brews and spills and stains. Day in, day out, exactly the same.
Not today.
Today there’s a new smell. Not wholly new, but different. The rich aroma hits him in the face right as he opens the door and he stops short.
“The fuck’s that smell?” He asks the room, already quietly bustling with the regular crowd of overtired public school teachers he calls co-workers.
“Good morning Mickey”
Ian Gallagher, fresh-faced and too fucking smiley for this ungodly hour of the morning greets him from over by the coffee station, clutching his favorite mug in both hands like he’s a fucking teenage girl. He brought the mug from home, it’s got pictures of a bunch of kids on it, his family, he told Mickey once at the start of the year. Weird kinda family, two redheads, two brunettes, some guy who looks like a fuckin’ rat and a little black kid, probably about twenty years between all of them Mickey’d guess. He’s never asked.
Gallagher’s a new hire, fresh out of qualification at the start of the year and clearly overjoyed to be here, shaping young minds or whatever. Mickey knows he’s got at most a whole school year of feeling that way before the fucking grind of it starts to get to him. Too many kids and not enough money and no resources and a senior staff so apathetic that there’s no hope of anything ever getting better.
Normally he finds the fresh meat irritating, they’re too friendly, too enthusiastic, he gives them a wide berth and waits for them to learn, or to burn out.
Something about Gallagher though, sweet-natured and keen but not naïve or over the top, he’s kind of hoping that this one will survive.
Helps that he’s easy on the eyes. Bright red hair, pale, freckled skin, calm green eyes and the body of a fuckin’ cross-fit dad. Mickey doesn’t hate to look at him, wouldn’t hate being tossed around by him neither if it came to that but he doesn’t have a good read on the guy yet. They’re friendly, kind of. As friendly as Mickey ever is with a colleague. Maybe a little more. He likes talking to the guy. Likes looking at him.
“Gallagher.” He replies by way of a hello. His question about the smell still hasn’t been answered. “Why does it smell weird in here?”
Gallagher smiles, a sweet little thing that speaks of a giddy kind of smugness.
“I changed the coffee. Do you want some?”
It’s not that Mickey was attached to the old stuff, it was basically watered-down tar at it’s very best, but it was at least familiar. The devil he knew. And there’s no telling what kind of hair-brained scheme Gallagher might have replaced it with.
“It’s not fuckin’ decaf is it?”
That gets him a warm little chuckle and a friendly eye-roll.
“No, Mickey I would never do that to you. It’s just different. The stuff we had ran out and there was some disagreement over whose turn it was to go and buy it and it was fucking awful anyway and I saw an opportunity. I got us a subscription.”
“A subscription?”
“Yeah! The finest blends, delivered straight to our door. And all the proceeds go towards supporting women’s healthcare in Sierra Leone. Isn’t that cool?”
Is it cool? Mickey’s unclear exactly on why they should give a shit about helping people in Africe when there’s plenty of healthcare problems here at home, but if the coffee’s good he’s not exactly gonna kick up a fuss.
“Is it good?”
“What does your nose tell you?” Gallagher asks him with a tap to the nose, and Mickey rolls his eyes. The guy’s hot but he’s a fucking cheeseball.
It does smell pretty fucking good. It tastes pretty great as well, he has to admit when Ian passes him a cup, Mickey’s own favorite, not that he’d ever tell anyone he has a favorite. It sends a funny kind of warmth through him to think that Gallagher might just have noticed.
“It’s decent.” He admits, and Gallagher’s mouth opens to respond but there’s a knock on the door, and Mickey, being the closest faculty member to it, reluctantly turns to swing it open.
It’s a kid. Which makes sense, adults don’t normally knock, but it’s early still for kids to be in the building, even with extra-curriculars. He takes in the girl, he doesn’t know her. She’s skinny, reminds him of Mandy in her ripped black jeans and vintage band tee, kind of funny that kids are still dressing like that. She’s staring at him apprehensively, one hand still raised where she had been knocking.
“What?”
She looks taken aback by his brash question, a lot of the teachers are kinda soft with the kids, treat ‘em like babies. Not Mickey.
“Um. Is—Is Mr Gallagher here?”
“No.” He barks, and swings the door closed.
“Mickey!���
Gallagher’s face is incredulous, half a foot from his own where he had clearly been on his way to meet the student when Mickey had closed the door.
“What?” Mickey feigns innocence, and it gets him a laugh.
“I’m right here!”
“She doesn’t know that. It’s too early for kids, you ain’t even really workin’ yet.”
That much he’s right about, everyone gets in early but no one’s supposed to be working ‘til seven, and Gallagher would do well to learn a thing or two about boundaries. He’s got to learn to separate himself from the kids, take the time for himself. He doesn’t seem ready to hear that though, rolling his eyes, even though he’s still smiling.
“It might’ve been important. Who was it?”
Mickey shrugs, takes a gulp of his actually really fucking good coffee.
“I don’t know. Girl. Dark hair. Didn’t give a name.”
“You didn’t ask.” Gallagher fixes him with some attempt at a reprimanding look that Mickey has to duck his face into his mug to hide his response to.
“Eh I’m not your messaging service, alright.” He says once he’s got his grin under control.
“No you’re a fucking menace. Get out of the way, I’m gonna go find her.” Gallagher brushes past him, almost a full body check, really, that Mickey is certain wasn’t necessary. He grins into his coffee and goes to sit down, content to feel the ghost of Gallagher’s body up against his for the rest of the morning.
(btw the coffee subscription is a real thing run by the brothers Green, it's called Awesome Coffee Club and proceeds are donated to Partners In Health in Sierra Leone who are their long time charity partners.)

Hrrmmmm trying to think of how I'm going to go about building my new bg3 OCs. Do I just. Make up a little backstory for them separate from game canon? Do I...go completely balls to the wall and develop them to an insane degree before the events of the game? Knowing myself, I'm going to likely be infused with the hyperfixation any minute now and be lost in the sauce
I've picked their ships already it's just. it's going to be inch resting trying to develop my companions with my OCs in such a way that's still canon (has no idea what theyre doing).
Because look, Callistus is my very competent and quiet high elf ranger boy. He loves kids, has a zest for life under the calm exterior, smiles easily but is a little shy. I think it would be delightful to pair him with the vampire for reasons of sweet shy boy with the (seemingly) edgy and very troubles Astarion. He sees that vampire and goes "oh you need some loving. Thank god im the right man for the job." Do u see my vision
I'm thinking about making a lady, perhaps a half drow sorcerer who is so grumpy, just a complete thundercloud. Aaaaand predictable little old me is going to smush her up against Karlach because oh my god that would be adorable. Big, tough, smiley lady with small, grumpy lady, I die. The little grump getting attached to the one person who can make her smile and blush without fail. Mayhaps I'll call her Arien, or Ari for short.
And of course I need another boy because I want to smush somebody up against Gale, that big nerd. Powerful educated bookish man needs........someone bordering on downright dastardly who will slowly open up and soften up oooooohhhhh. A rogue? A chaotic neutral rogue......who immediately likes Gale and goes "Oh shit I gotta be nice if I wanna be with this man." He needs an H name me thinks. Helthros has a nice ring to it. But I also feel an L name. Larkspell keeps coming to mind.

What about tickling a girls belly and clit with ice cubes???
Ooh I adore using ice in tickle play ~ especially for a sweet girly girl with ticklish girly girl buttons! Sooo ~ I'd have you all bound gently on my bed, with my bowl of ice in hand. The bright purple bowl with its obnoxiously big smiley face on it. I shake the bowl happily, making the ice bounce and clack. "Oooh yes, it's time for our favorite game! Hot and cold~" I snicker down at you, giving a little wicked sneer as I hum and tease at your panty line with tiny strokes of my fingers. "Soo, I'm thinking of a number between one and a thousand~ shall we begin?" I taunt, rooting through my ice bucket and drawing my index finger back and forth along your pantyline in feathery strokes.
When you answer I gasp out with faux concern. "Oh my, you got it right away! Not really ~ you're soooo far off. In fact, you're iceeee cold, baby~" I grin and find a piece of ice shaped very similar to your cute bellybutton. I draw the frigid tool around your tummy in slow circles, leaving behind a trail of teasing cool droplets. "Nooope cold cold cold~" I repeat, getting the ice right into your bouncy divot. As you guess more I shake my head. "Mmm mmm. Nope~ not even close. Snowman cold, you're a snowman darling~ covered in little iciessss and ooooh?" I smile and pull the ice back, licking my lips.
"Why, that's quite warm now~ yess, you've gotten warmer!" I lean in and flash my purply lips, brushing them along the same trail the ice just took across your ticklish tummy. My tongue darts out and starts lapping up the moisture in loving licks. "Uhhuhhh warmer! Warmmm warmerrr!" I kiss and lick and work inwards, dipping my tongue in and out of your navel rapidly. And when you're right on the money I seal my lips and start blowing a loud zerbert right on your most bouncy ticklish spot~ "bbbbbzzzzzztttt!" I cackle and lean up. "You got it!! mmmuahh bbbzzztttt ~ Right on the money~!" I raspberry again, working your chilled belly over and over~
And then I'm smirking again, my finger tracing your cute panties. "Ahh yes, these cute panties~ I heard that gigglemoan in there. Did you enjoy our little game? Are you allll hot and bothered down here on your girly parts? Noo? You're not? My goodness. Then what's this little swollen adorable girly button doing? Why's it sooo bothered and prominent huh? Are you lying to your Amy? Awww, you naughty thing~ sooo naughty naughty~" I admonish and rebuke your pleas, plucking a new piece of ice. I deposit it into your navel and retrieve another larger chunk and start plunging it into your pantyline.
"Gotta cool a naughty thing like you down oh yes we doooo yes we do~" I grin and take the ice lower and lower gliding the cool tickle tool along your lower abdomen and towards your girly royal area. "Aww does it tickle soo bad? Such a silly sensation, no? All icy and on your skin and tickly with these cuuuuute little droplets staying behind to tingle tingle tingle you~" I move the ice towards your sweet button and nudge the piece in your navel around making sure it stays put. "My goodness you little naughty thing. You're so hot down here! My girly girl all hot and bothered you're gonna melt my ice!" I giggle down and taunt with my icy tickles, nodding to my bowl with the smiley face. "Luckily I brought plenty ~ ahh yes, plenty to share~"
I work the ice up and down your swollen button, letting the melting cold stream drip along your lower lips and into your girlihood like loving fingers of a lingering lover ~ "Ooh goosh oooh nooo ~" I copy your gasps and lil giggly moans, chuckling while I work your cute buttons with my cold friends. Once your navel is full of icy water I lean down. "Here lemme help you with thatt!" and I start kissing up the remaining cool water, lickling along and muahing all over your tickled sensitive belly. And after placing a new piece of ice into your navel I find my other helper is also melted~ "Naughty thing you melted my clitty cube!"
I nod and smile, tugging your wet panties down. "Uhh huh. Yep. Mmmmhmm. We're going down there cutie pie. You naughty girl~" I lean in and blow a little puff of air on your hyper sensitive swollen iced up button. "My my my you ARE naughty aren't you~ ooooooh!" I mock your gasps as I move in, making sure my long hair teases at your thighs while my tongue catches along your super ticklish girly button, flicking gently before starting a slow clockwise swirl. "Uuuhuhh.. Mmmmhmmm" I hum, working your button with my slippery warming tongue, nudging that swollen aching girl part around~
And just as your ticklish button starts to warm, I flood it with cool again, deftly reaching for more ice and moving it around in the same clockwise swirl. "Ah ah ah~ naughty girl. Getting all warm and bothered ~ We gotta cool you off oh yes we doOooo~" I work the ice around your clitty and navel, cooing down. "Coochie coooo ~ ooh, you can ticklegasm anytime you like darling, you're getting icy hot tickles either way ~"

owarimonogatari ge spoilers. rgu spoilers too i think
himemiya anthy and oshino ougi are both girls who exist for guys
and yeah i hear you thinking what, misogyny ?! toxic masculinity ?! thats not a big part of ougis arc and yeah it isnt and also other gender stuff BUT. the spirit is still there!! and i have to say it in that way first to do anthy's part justice
bc they Are both people who exist solely for others sake. their ability to define their own existences have been taken away from them. they have no agency! anthy obviously but also ougi has never had agency. ougi was created by araragi to do certain things he couldn't do himself, and this was literally the sole purpose of their existence. if ur in that situation what are you gonna do? not do it? and probably like, cease to exist bc the universe's internal coding is a total asshole? you don't have a choice, you just gotta accept the burden.
they're very silly and goofy and sinister and smiley about it of course but like. i'll say it now a lot of those smiles are not happy. i mean you look at the light novels oshino "ppl are so dumb i have to laugh at them but im crying when im laughing" ougi (edgelord ougi confirmed? LOL ok ok not really) oshino 'araragi theorizes her smile was poignant bc she knew how short her life would be' ougi like yeah ok. get a life, literally. lol (note this is also. for those who have read it. what ougi stay is about. and what my next big thing is going to be about. this is what the significance. anyway)
and anthy does the same thing! all this fucked up shit happens around her and To her and she just watches it all with the same smile like nothing's wrong. the parallels are insane you guys you cant make this shit up. anthy smiling like nothing is wrong during the duels before slowly realizing she doesn't want to be separated from utena is the same as ougi smiling while about to be erased forever even though she doesnt want to die. its parallels!!!!!! even where ougi's situation gets a little muddied with her being Literally araragi (even though she is still the part of him that he ejected and pushed all this work onto and still just exists for him at first so i wouldnt say this is a point against my analysis here), it still very much applies. and that part of 'being him' can loop back around and extend anthy if you want it to. she does whatever her fiancee wants her to, is molded to and reflects them. a reflection-- is that not, in a very big sense, what ougi is for araragi? you could even say that for anthy, the fiancee of the rose bride's attempted domination of her is a way to dominate the femininity within them, to quell and control it. (if this doesnt make sense my excuse is that i havent finished watching yet. but i think it does make sense, and a lot of it, actually)
theyve both got their Roles to play, and play them they do. anthy, the rose bride, and ougi, the culprit, the bad guy. i think about that 'bad guy' framing a lot too btw. when ougi is talking about her unfazed appearance when faced with Forever Death Via Black Hole, shes like 'don't you hate it when in mystery novels the bad guy is so calm in the face of their comeuppance? yeah that sucks so just letting you know im terrified 👍. gotta wonder what happens when your matter gets erased completely yk. like whats that gotta be like lol.' (not even exaggerating at all really) (also shes so funny she relates everything to mystery novels bc she loves them thats so sweet and real i love that :)) (and then she proceeded to say 'nah i think the culprit should kill themself instead' but i wont get into it)
theyve also both got those cute little interests come to think of it. anthy loves like animals and stuff and ougi loves their mysteries. are these two the Same Character (joking) (but really they should hang out)
theres a line in one of the short stories that summarizes it really well, describing ougi as 'a puppet who had come to life.' and yeah, basically. it's implied to be after the ougi dark resolution so there i have even more ✨textual evidence✨ but like fr. its an incredibly apt description for ougi. if yotsugi is a doll, then ougi is a puppet, who has gained agency (and thats the thing, rgu and monogatari are giving these agency-robbed characters agency, thats what ougi dark did, and im like p sure thats what rgu is going to do i havent finished it lol but i did get sorta spoiled on the ending so i think its gonna. in monogatari... its more rocky i feel. its not cut and dry, its not like whoops you have agency forever completely now. its like you Kinda have it. you Maybe Mostly have it. it's complicated i'm writing about it)... i wonder when yotsugi will get her agency, but part of me wonders if nisioisins plan is that she wont. because she's a doll, she's too stuck, she's fixed to what others need her for, she can't work by herself. she hasn't "come to life" yet like ougi has (being a corpse might do that to you)
anyway uhhhh i'm right good night

Pocket Full of Sunshine ☀️
Eddie Munson x F!Reader (Platonic?)
Warnings: Eddie is smoking, a couple of swears. Reader is depicted as a bit of an airhead?
☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
Eddie was late. He was very very late for band practice.
He was rushing around his room and the trailer getting ready making sure he had everything he was packing up his guitar, grabbed his jackets and then flew into his van and sped off out of the park leaving a pile of dust in his wake. 
Eddie arrived at Gareth's garage at least 10 mins late, he jumped out of his van flinging his jackets on and grabbing his sweetheart out of the car. The boys all jokingly berated him as he jogged up the driveway “i’m so sorry man, lost track of time” The boys brushed it off and they started practising, about an hour into their session they were taking a small break eddie was smoking a cigarette outside the garage when they all heard wheels rushing down the pathway. Eddie looked up to see y/n hurtling down the path on her skateboard, a big smile on her face, wind blowing through her hair not a care in the world. 
He heard Gareth laugh from beside him “sunshine is here finally” they all had a soft spot for her, she's been part of their group for a while, playing DnD with them and becoming a metalhead herself despite her outwardly sunny personality, Eddie always joked saying his favourite thing was corrupting her. She hopped off her skateboard kicking it up into her hand almost tripping on her shoelace coming up the driveway causing the boys to laugh at her. They all waved at her when she got to the top of the driveway 
“Hi guys! I bought you some drinks!” 
She placed the carrier bag onto the box in front of them and they grabbed the drinks and thanked her for the sweet gesture, Eddie was the last to grab his, another cigarette in between his fingers as he managed to crack the cold can open with just one hand. 
“Thanks angel, are you staying for the rest of practice?” She spun on her feet towards him and smiled “you're welcome eds! Uh no i have to go soon sorry” a small pout on her lips as she did like to watch them practise but she was busy today. He nodded as he took a drag from his cigarette, exhaling the smoke in the air away from her. 
She continued a few conversations with the others then she had a look on her face like she’d remembered something rummaging around in her jeans pockets “Aha! I forgot the reason I came here! Eds c’mere!” Eddie walked over to her a confused smile on his face, he always endured her silly antics all the boys did. He looked down at her as her hand fiddled with something, she grabbed the denim of his jacket and placed a pin on a spare space on the pocket. A small victorious smile appeared on your face and a nod seemingly liking your placement. He craned his neck to look at the new pin to find a little sun on his pocket, it had a little smiley face on it. She looked up at him excitedly “Do you like it?!” He laughed a small smile playing on his lips “i love it but a smiling sun isn't very metal y/n” 
She pouted her lips and stuck her tongue out at him and he did the same back teasing her even more. “I think a big flaming ball of gas in the sky is pretty metal if you ask me munson” 
The boys all laughed and Eddie pulled her into a spine crunching hug “okay okay you got me, it’s pretty fucking metal thank you sunshine” He said as he spun her round. She pulled away and patted the little sun with a triumphant smile. She looked at her watch “oh i gotta dash, i’ll see you guys another time yeah?” she said while jogging down the driveway, she stumbled and Eddie grabbed her before she fell and ate the pavement. “Jesus H Christ y/n, you’re going to be the death of me, be careful sweetheart” She brushed herself off and mumbled a thank you before hopping on her board and kicking off down the path, waving at them. 
Eddie admired the little sun on his pocket patting it softly, he shook his head as he watched her fly down the path. Gareth interrupted him by grabbing his shoulders and walking him back towards the garage “you’re so fucking whipped man” he cackled at him. 
“HEY! get fucked man you're just jealous you didnt get a fucking cute pin off a pretty girl”  Eddie pushed him to the side, a small blush across his cheeks.

This Week in BL - Lots of rings exchanged
Aug 2022 Wk 2
Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. Organized by which ones (in each category) I’m enjoying the most.
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Thai
The Eclipse (Fri YT) Ep 1 of 15 - Oh it’s good. BL does Blacklist with a good boy/bad boy pairing (paladin/rogue). F&K have great chemistry right off the bat. And it’s so nice to have GMMTV’s production values on 2 BLs, even if they flipped the levels on the music/dialogue tracks in this ep (qua?). Did you SEE what was inside the cursed flower pot? A baby cactus! 
Vice Versa (Sat on YT) Ep 5 of 12 - Gun appearing as Third was very meta of you GMMTV. I see what you did there. Ooo. Cohabitation trope! I was wondering about the pacing with this one, but they have self corrected with a new core trope. Nice. *sits up, pays attention* It’s engaging and never drags, gotta give them that. 
21 Days Theory (Sun YT ) Ep 1 of 8 - I am loving this high school Love Sick revisit, BLUE SHORTS in spades. Yay! 
Coffee Melody (Mon Viki) Ep 4 of 10 - Well, that relationship moved into the sack quickly. I like it, it seems sort of mature and normal than most BL. They are cute and smiley and sweet together. I also think this BL is honestly dealling with mutually hurt. Pleng Ruk says it’s too soon. But also he doesn’t get to act like a boyfriend if he isn’t one. Duen Yi only wants what he wants and isn’t thinking about the consequences. On a different note: The pink hair thing is hilarious: we can see which days different recordings were done and which ones were pickups by how faded the pink is and roots showing. I’m still skipping all of the band stuff which means I’m only watching about half of the show, just the cafe bits. So maybe you shouldn’t take my opinions to heart. But then you should never take my opinions to heart.
Love Mechanics (Sun WeTV) Ep 8 of 10 - I like the insight into Mark‘s home life. That sullen iciness comes from Daddy. I like Mark’s ex-boyfriend too, but then I liked him in the original. I like how miserable Vee got. Yin & War are terrific little actors. It’s hard not to get mad at the messy, but when it’s performed this good, it’s fun to wallow in mutual agony. 
Unforgotten Night (Weds on GaGa) Ep 8 of 12 Neither as bad nor as good as it could be. Shrug. TRASH WATCH IS HERE!
Check Out (Sat IQIYI) Ep 10 of 12 - Honestly the leads are a good pair. I’m sad they didn't get a better script. It’s Tuxedo all over again. But I LOVED that they gave Tee a new boy!
My Secret Love (Sat YT) Ep 11 of 12 - The domesticity with the side couples is really engaging, sex scenes were descent, but that’s it. However there was a probubly verse couple. The main couple is a little better after the time jump, mostly because Mek in now understandably arrogant. I guess. 
My Only 12% (Fri iQIYI) Ep 1 of 15 - It’s a pretty classic friends to lovers jock/nerd set up with neighbors & codependency to get us started and high school. I am actually MIR mixed with Bad Buddy (same author) vibes from this. I like it, Santa & Earth do great at this character dynamic. Seeing Peak back in shorts is a TRIP. Also we’re starting to get that thing where an actor will be in multiple BL‘s airing at the same time (waves at Benz). Also a trip. Awe PREM! I didn’t know he was in this. Wabi Sabi bringing out the BIG GUNS.
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
Minato Shouji Coin Laundry (Japan Weds GaGa) Ep 7 of 12 I keep saying next week is gonna hurt, but I’m not saying that this time because they keep delaying the crisis point. Not that the pacing is off, it’s keeping me intersted, just that Japan is too unpredictable. Especially when handed and unprecedented 12 eps. But Shin did finally turn 18 and make his intentions crystal clear. - SQUEE WATCH ALONG  
Papa & Daddy 2 (Mon GaGa) Ep 1-2 of 8 - Honestly I didn’t expect to like this. I don’t have a good history with 2nd seasons, and Taiwan really likes to make a soap opera out of their queers. Witness that this one starts with a secret baby trope. (Or in this case a secret teenage son trope?) There’s a lot of lying to each other and evil parents. (Why are parent characters always so terrible in Chinese dramas?) And of course I already have a crush on the pining chef - 2nd lead syndrome strikes again. Who wouldn’t? I like the new actor playing Jerry (he reminds me of Nunew from Cutie Pie) but his chemistry with his co-star isn’t as good. I LOVE THE DOMESTICITY. 
Want to See You (Vietnam YT) Ep 12 - Vietnam is doing time jumps in later eps now? Everyone just stop it! Also this is an interesting way to enact the amnesia trope, but it’s still the amnesia trope! This turned out not to be the final ep, who knows what will be? Frankly they handled the time jump OK, it’s nice to see the characters having changed and matured (or not) and how this reflects on each other. Still I am mostly annoyed but the tropes. 
Senpai, Danjite Koidewa! (Japan Fri Viki) Ep 8fin - It was cute in the very end, and all about courage. Kaneda’s mainly. But Japan’s weird hang-up around physical expressions of affection in BL which I expect in their slapstick high school stuff, feels cowardly here. They don't leave out end kisses in their het office romances anymore, time to stop desexualizing the gays, too. For a plot about courage, it’s a bummer that the narrative itself didn’t have any. I can’t imagine ever watching this show again or remembering its existence. When Japan drops the balls they drop all the way to the bottom of the well. 6/10 NOT REALLY RECOMMENDED 
Tumblr media
Lots of rings exchanged this week. Most form the worst possible, least communicating couples. I would like to remind everyone that marriage is not a way to “fix it to a bad relationship,” it just makes everything worse. Like children. 
In Case You Missed It
Work From Heart a Thai BL from DV8 for WeTV starts Aug 25 trailer here. An office romcom featuring lots of other couples, starring Love With Benefits pair Gameplay & Folk.
Japan bringing us More Than Words, 10 eps for Amazon Prime JP Sept 16,  no trailer, no word on international distribution, premiere on adaptation of Etsuko’s two mangas "In The Apartment" and "More Than Words", starring Ryōko Fujino (Fujoshi, Ukkari Gei ni Kokuru), Yuzu Aoki (Kakafukaka), Daisuke Nakagawa (Colorful Love), and Daiki Kanechika (EXIT comedian). 
Tumblr media
Honestly my money was on Viki winning his one, but happy to see it’s going to GaGa! Takara-kun and Amagi-kun from the same studio as Mr Unlucky and Senpai, so expect that style. A popular guy and an outcast boy start dating in secret. Stars Jpop Idols Arata Sato (IMPACTors) and Nao Oriyama (Shonen Ninja).
Gossip
Thai y-novel by Prang “2 Worlds” is getting an adaptation. 
GMMTV is bring us something they didn’t announce at the beginning of the year, Oishi Magic Of Zero, starring EarthMix. They are play the same roles (Win & Korn) as in Cupid's Last Wish, to start (drop?) Sept 25 on YouTube! So this might just be a special or....? This is a sponsored series of one shot specials/adverts featuring exiting characters like Our Skyy. The first one was InkPa from Bad Buddy. Which I have yet to watch. (see comments) 
Strongberry (our favorite production house from Korea) officially introduced 3 actors (fresh faces) for their upcoming FULL LENGTH romcom BL  “#사랑은댕냥댕냥” basically “love is dang dang dang” but roughly means Love is Love actually means “love is a cat and a dog.” (see ask in feed) Guess at run time is 1.5hr, so normal KBL length. Still casting final lead. About a boy who lives alone after losing his parents who works part-time in his Uncle's shop. One day, 2 strangers appearing claiming they are reincarnations of his childhood pets (a cat and a a dog).
Korea’s Able Casting Agency posted an actor search for a character for an upcoming BL Two Game Over. That’s the first we’ve all heard of it. 
Korea is ALL in on that A Shoulder To Cry On BL starring two members of the same group, OMEGA X (Jaehan & Yechan). Why? Well its schedueld to release mid Sept AND OMEGA X with sing the OST. Ho boy. 
Next Week Looks Like This:
We ramping back up again, that summer lull was short and full of JBL. 
Tumblr media
Starting & Ending: Tomorrow, Monday Aug 15th, 180 Degree Longitude Passes Through Us (trailer) on GaGa. But I’m not sure it’s BL. Takara-kun and Amagi-kun starts on GaGa this Friday. Love in the Air Mame’s next offering via Me Mindy is supposed to start on the 19th on YT. Unless it whips into a verbal frenzy, I won’t do a trash watch (I already have 2 going right now). Love Mechanics & My Secret Love both end. Thank fuck. 
This week’s best moments?
Tumblr media
Why did no one tell me the side couple in Oh My Sunshine features the actor who played Bbomb in Nitiman? Now I may have to watch for them. Grumble. I blame all ya’all. 
Tumblr media
Well that side couple came out of nowhere! But still YAY Check Out, we like it. 
Tumblr media
Back hugs!

can i request an eddissy (smutty?) ficlet plz... like, i headcanon that Eddie has a crush on Chrissy since middle school. it didn't turn into an obsession but, like, basically, all his one-night stands more or less looks like Chrissy -the strawberry hair, the short green skirt, her height or her grey/blue eyes... he tends to never use their names during the act bc 1) he forgot most of the time lol and 2) he perfer to use nicknames so he can pretend they are Chrissy... idk, but Eddie fantasying about Chrissy when he f*cks other girls is great imho :)
Bro
Tumblr media
I am literally being torn apart by this concept
I literally wrote a essay I'm sorry (also nsfw ahead be warned) -
I too am a proud member of the Eddie Fucks Brigade. He definitely gets p**sy, but I think you're right in the sense that it's mostly one night stands. I just know he has a network of other metalhead types that he meets up with at concerts in other cities/states, and maybe sometimes crashes with afterwards. He's also in the local bar scene because of his band, and he's gotta be notorious in the local drug scene, too. So he definitely rubs shoulders with a lot of people outside of hawkins high - other metalheads, people who are on the fringes of society like him and who don't view him as some freak like at school. So you can't tell me he doesn't fuck!!!
He's definitely hooked up with girls in his van after concerts or round the back of bars. He's also probably slept with a few of the people he's sold to. Like, he's not exactly a player or anything; he doesn't get lucky all the time but it does happen. He's had one or two short-lived flings as well, but nothing close to a relationship.
I don't think Eddie necessarily has a "type" when it comes to his track record of hookups. He's a very open person who gets attracted to people's hearts and their personality rather than a specific set of criteria. But he's for sure mostly been with other metalheads. As I said, those are the people he's around most often, and he's naturally gonna be drawn to people who have similar interests to him. Also, he's obviously a big fan of the metalhead look, especially on girls.
But when it comes to like, celebrity crushes however? Or even just his ideal type if he had the ability to be more choosy? That's where things start to differ. Eddie is definitely not immune to sweet, preppy, clean cut, sporty cuties (i.e. Chrissy fucking cunningham). He loves the whole polar opposites thing. And yeah, if he thinks about it too hard it probably does stem from the idea of taking someone sweet and innocent and then corrupting them. 😈 That's the sort of thing that fuels his m*sturbation fantasies anyway.
I think Chris and Eddie start hanging out around winter time in Chrissy's senior year, after she approaches him for weed. It takes Eddie a little while to realise he has a full blown crush. Obviously, he's always known he was attracted to her. She's the lil cute smiley cheerleader from back in middle school!!! But he doesn't really tend to get intense crushes on people (probably bc his fear of rejection doesn't allow him to - hello anxious-avoidant attachment style!!), plus he's aware they're a bit of an unlikely pair so it would probably never happen. He's also kind of compartmentalised high school from his life outside of it. He has his friends from band and hellfire, sure, but anyone outside of that he just kind of writes off as lame/irrelevant and tries not to think about them too much when he's not in school. It's a defense mechanism - his way of surviving high school. So yeah, it's definitely more of a slow realisation.
- sidenote: his friends asbolutely figure it out before he does. And they totally laugh about it behind his back. Poor guy is oblivious -
Anyway. Even though Eddie doesn't realise his feelings for Chrissy straight away, anyone keeping track of the people he's hooking up with would be able to take an educated guess. It's not that he's deliberately seeking out people who look like her, but on a subconscious level that's what he's doing. All of a sudden he's not interested in the metalhead girls anymore. He starts going after girls who look progressively less hardcore and more preppy. Maybe his attention will be captured by a velvet scrunchy in a girl's hair. A pair of clean white trainers or cute tube socks pulled up to the knees. He always feels this deep ache in his chest afterwards, but he doesn't put two and two together for a while, cause you know our boy can be a dumbdumb sometimes😓😓
Once he admits to himself that he has feelings for Chrissy, he only hooks up with one or two more girls. He isn't cold with them or anything but yeah, he deliberately doesn't use their names during it and he definitely isn't sticking around to cuddle after he's come to his senses. He's not proud of it, but he basically just closes his eyes and imagines its Chrissy he's with. Honestly, it's embarrassing. It probably doesn't help that he's a little drunk both times, either. It just makes the horny yearning™ that much worse.
One of the aforementioned hookups is in his van after a concert up in Cincinnati, and he lies and tells her he has to drive back home to Hawkins that night cause he has work in the morning. The other one he can't even be bothered to feed an excuse to, so he just tells her he has to go pretty much straight after they're done. She slaps him in the face and calls him a pig as she leaves, and trust me, he's thoroughly aware that he is indeed being a pig so he just takes it on the chin like yep, fair enough. Probably deserved that. It's a personal low point for Eds. Both times, he just lights up a cigarette and mopes afterwards, daydreaming about Chrissy. Wishing he'd just blown off the gig to spend the night smoking with her instead.
After that, he stops bothering with girls altogether. It just feels wrong at this point. Poor guy doesn't even have any intention of trying to get over Chrissy. Nope, his long term plan literally consists of being painfully into her for the next few months and then hopefully she'll graduate, leave Hawkins forever and maybe then he'll make an attempt to move on. But for now? Nah, he's not even gonna try. By the time he and Chrissy actually do get together, Eddie hasn't been with another girl in months.
In this blurb I wrote, where the two of them are in the car that night and Eddie finds out Chrissy and Jason haven't slept together??? I think that's the point when things start to become absolutely unbearable for him. At first, he feels plain relief. Not because he gives a shit about all that purity culture bullshit. He doesn't at all. He wouldn't care if Chrissy had slept with a million guys. But to find out that she hasn't done it with Jason - the guy Eddie hates more than anyone, and who, quite frankly, is nowhere near deserving enough to have her? Oh man, it feels good. It feels so, sooo good.
Eddie fantasizes about being the one to give Chrissy her first time CONSTANTLY. See, that's another thing you should know about Eddie. He's a romantic. People have this idea that he's some sort of sadistic, kinky freak (and yeah he can blow that way, sometimes, which I'll elaborate on at some point), but he loves imagining how he'd be with someone who's really special to him. Sweet. Tender. Loving.
He finds himself obsessing over it - wondering just how far she's gotten and when and with whom. Chrissy said her and Jason did "stuff". He wants so desperately to ask what it was, wants to know everything, but he won't ever ask cause he's too polite. Also knowing the details would probably just about kill him. I mean, when she'd told him, that night while he drove her home, he could've thrown up. He barely stopped himself from swerving the car into a ditch or something. It's too much for his poor heart to handle.
Sooo yeah. Again apologies for writing a whole ass essay reply to this, but thanks for the opportunity to get all that off my chest and elaborate more on where Eddie's head is at around the time of my latest ficlet!!!

Henry Danger Reader Insert | Captain Man x Reader: SEASON 4
Episode 5: Danger Games Part 2
~A few hours later, in the Man Cave~
Eventually, (y/n) had dragged Ray home from Henry's house after the boy had begged her to remove him and his ragging from his ears so he and the Game Shakers could get to bed and forget about the stupid game for a few hours. She had agreed, probably quicker than she should have, but his babbling was getting to her too and with a few smiley apologies to the teens, she'd shoved him through the door so they could begin the walk back to the Man Cave, his arm wrapped around her waist as they blew more bubbles to return to normality. 
Upon coming back down the elevator, they had discovered Schwoz and Bork testing out some magic tricks and seeing as though the woman had firmly told her boyfriend he was gonna have to wait to get her alone that night after his comment, they had decided to sit back and watch as Schwoz attempted to saw himself in half. 
It was a cool trick to be fair, fascinating to watch, difficult to explain and hilariously funny to watch when the two men pulled a very mean trick on the poor guy and pulled the two halves further apart so he could be put back together. Now, Ray was sat on a chair, a root beer in his hand, his girl trying to hide her giggles as she perched on his knee and Bork chuckling next to them as he complained about having his torso on one side of the room and his legs a few metres away.
"Come on, you guys, put me back together!" Schwoz whined as he felt his toes wriggling, but not where he'd normally expect them to be and the strange sensation was bugging him. It was a mean prank, but no one could be assed to help him, not when it seemed oddly humorous to see him struggle, one half here and another half there.
"No, no, Schwoz, you wanted to show us a magic trick, now, you gotta finish it, right, sweet girl?" Ray exclaimed, laughing with his girl as she struggled to not smile, preferring to drown his chuckles in her drink. It wasn't her typical idea of humour but something about it was funny and seeing Ray looking so damn hot in his chair just made her want to sit with him and never move. Complaining would spoil the mood and she didn't want that, not when he looked so good and his hand was casually resting on her inner thigh.
"Yeah, just keep wiggling, Schwoz, you never know, you might get back together on your own." She teased, doing a little wiggling of her own in Ray's lap since she was feeling the effects of the porch kiss coming back and whilst she loved seeing that goofy grin on his face, she was being to regret not letting him drag her off to the bedroom the minute the elevator opened. And speaking of the elevator, Henry and Charlotte had come down to the Man Cave...with a very big problem in tow. He may or may not have brought the unconscious Game Shakers into the Man Cave because they may or may not have discovered his secret identity when they were getting ready for bed. Oops...
"Aw, but I forgot how to reattach myself! Henry! Help me!" Schwoz cried upon seeing the boy and girl wheeling in a massive tube of teens, but he was way too stressed out to help anyone but himself and the sight of the kids/strangers in the Man Cave, (y/n)'s mouth drop open in pure shock, but luckily, Ray hadn't noticed yet, which was good, as Henry started panicking. "No, no, I can't, man! I got something going on right now!"
"Uh, Bork, can you take the talking part of Schwoz out of here, please?" The young woman asked the strongman politely as her hand grew clammy at the glimpse of Hudson wearing Henry's mask that caught her eye and Henry quickly covered his face with a tissue before Ray completely lost it. He was gonna, he was gonna lose all of his shit and scream and shout, but he hadn't noticed yet and that gave them time to prepare and panicked as Schwoz's head was wheeled away. 
"No, no, wait, wait, you have to take my feet, no! Stay alive, I will find you! He cried as Bork dragged him off to the hidden rooms behind the supercomputer and (y/n) had about five seconds of pointing and eyebrow gestures to silently interrogate the teens about why the fuck were there a bunch of unknown kids in the hideout and why was wearing a superhero's mask and costume. The worried, panicked, terrified, nervous, crazed hand gestures and pained expressions she got in return weren't telling a good story.
"Hey, Henry, who's in the... Hey, aren't those the Game Shaker kids?" Ray's head tilted in confusion as he finally saw the snoozing group and recognised who they were. He wasn't shouting yet, but that was because he hadn't heard the worst of it, so (y/n) latched herself onto one of his arms, preparing him and herself to hear what must've been terrible, terrible news.
"Okay, now, don't get mad, hug (y/n). Go on, hug (y/n), she keeps you calm 'cause she's your girlfriend and you love her so, hug her, please." Henry started, pointing to the woman on Ray's arm and the man frowned at his weirdly calm voice and his instructions. He followed them regardless of the strangeness of their nature, he'd never turn down an opportunity to hug his girl, but something was still bugging him. (y/n) did keep him calm when he overreacted and the way Henry spoke, it was like he was trying to tame a wild animal before it bolted.
"Henry, they're waking up!" Charlotte hissed as she noticed the Game Shakers mumbling and twitching, the side effects of the green lasers Henry had used on them wearing off. He'd panicked, knocked them and his sister out and called the girl, who he thought would know what to do, but unfortunately, Charlotte was just as out of her depth as he was. More so when she saw Ray's confusion slowly hardening into anger, even with his sweet girl running her hands up and down his chest in an effort to keep him from losing it.
"What? Oh, shhhh—Charlotte, open the elevator door. Come on, go, go!" He told her, thinking on his feet since he really didn't want to laser them all again. He could just lock them up, it was fine. She did as she was told and once the door was open he shoved the recycling tub inside before running to the control panel and flipping the power level, effectively using the elevator as a prison. All the while, Ray's hold on his girlfriend was getting incredibly tight, so much that she was worried for herself a bit (super-healing always helped her panic) and him since she had no idea how he was going to react to what had so obviously happened. 
"Uh, what's going on? Why do I have to hug my girlfriend?" The man asked, his face showing that he wanted a straight answer and that for once, he was in no mood for games. Henry was sweating, Charlotte was buzzing, he could practically taste their anxiety, and it was rubbing off on him, which, in turn, rubbed off on (y/n). It really wasn't a good situation for anyone.
"Hey, why don't we all go and have some hot chocolate?"  "Could we?" Charlotte and Henry suggested, hoping that they could use their boss's love of food to help them get away from this, but not even they could distract Ray right now, not even (y/n) as she squeezed her eyes shut and dropped her forehead on the man's chest, bracing herself for a shitstorm. The adorable, goofy personality was gone and instead, there was a fuming, seriously strong superhero standing in front of them, demanding their honesty and loyalty as they kept their secret from him.
"Henry!" Ray snapped, his heart pounding as he saw them both gulp and felt his girl shiver. His blood ran cold at the thought of intimidating her, she felt so small and he forgot how huge and terrifying he could be when angry, so he cursed himself for losing control in front of her and raised a gentle hand to pet her hair, just as the Game Shakers started crying and banging for help. Their cries made him tense again, but he bit back his sharp tongue, fearing that he'd say or do something he'd regret that would make her whimper more and just the thought of that made him hurt so bad, he kept it all in, just for her.
"The—the Hudson kid, he found my gum and blew a bubble," Henry confessed, walking past his boss with his hand raking through his hair as he felt his terror rising. He was worried for himself, for Ray, for his new friends, for everything and the way Ray's face seemed to crumble with fear, disappointment and anger made it worse.
"Oh, shit, Henry..." (y/n) mumbled, ripping herself away from Ray as the panic infected her too, making her lose sight of what she really needed; his arms around her, his comforting words in her ear, telling her it would be okay. She just started pacing, her eyes screwed shut and a hand on her mouth to stop any pained noises escaping her. Ray's eyes followed her like she'd ripped out his heart and his brain automatically jumped to conclusions, assuming that she was scared of him at that moment and felt like...his arms weren't home, they were dangerous and that broke him when Henry kept going.
"And then he turned into...you know like me." He admitted, seeing how his big plan of keeping Ray with (y/n) was going to shit as the woman wrapped her arms around herself and not him, thinking that if she made herself small, then the pain would hurt less. She didn't want Ray to be mad, she didn't want Henry to lose his job, she didn't want those kids to pay the price for an accident, she didn't want any of it.
"And everyone saw?!" Ray interrogated his sidekick, his face growing red and the veins on his neck popping out as he struggled to cope with two crushing blows at once. Henry had screwed up his secret identity and possibly put his entire life's work in jeopardy and even more heartbreakingly, he had screwed up with his girl, again. How could he keep her safe if she didn't feel that with him? He'd vowed to protect her from everything she was scared of, he had never thought that he'd be on that list or that she'd be standing a few metres away from him and he'd feel like they were worlds apart. Maybe he'd judged it wrong, maybe it wasn't the right time for the ring, maybe it was but not with him...
"Yes! Yes! They all saw, man, they all saw! And the—then that—that Kenzie girl, she figured out that I'm Kid Danger!" Henry shrieked, everything just pouring out of him like he couldn't stop it, he just wanted to tell the truth even if it could make things worse for him. He was in too deep and had gone too far to lie now. "Oh my god..."
"And then—and then, I freaked out, I freaked out, man, I freaked out and then, I just...I just..." Henry panted his fingers grazing over his whiz watch as every moment replayed in his mind and he felt like he could breathe like the walls were closing in on him as Ray got closer, demanding an answer, which only made it worse. "You just what?!"
"Raymond!" (y/n) snapped, her eyes burning into him with a fury that made him back off like he'd been wounded, his heart bleeding once again as her anger was directed at him again. Now, she was scared and mad, this couldn't be good, this could only mean that she wouldn't be in his bed tonight and the next and the next, what if he'd finally done it? What if this disaster was what drove them apart? Not seeing his inner turmoil, (y/n) put her hands on Henry's shoulders and turned the kid's face in her direction, even though he couldn't meet her eyes. "Henry, I want you to take some deep breaths and tell me what happened..."
"And then, I just started zapping, (y/n/n). And I—I—I just couldn't stop, I zapped everyone...and then I zapped my sister! I zapped my sister, man!" Henry sobbed, finally letting his tears escape as he broke down and curled into Ray's chest to cry, squishing (y/n) in between the two of them as she hugged him back. Charlotte watched awkwardly as Ray tried to comfort his sidekick, not knowing if he was doing the right thing since the last time he'd tried to comfort someone, she'd pulled herself away. Oh god, was being pressed against him making her uncomfortable right now? Why was she crying too?
"Henry...hey, Henry, yeah, look at me, you're not in trouble, but we gotta fix this. And you need to stop crying because seeing you cry makes me cry! So come on, dry your eyes and get out your gum, 'cause Captain Man needs both his sidekicks right now." She pulled away from the kid, both of their eyes red and puffy from all the emotion washing over them, but once it melted away, they were left with a sense of calm and level heads. Ray's heart skipped a beat at her mention of him needing them and it couldn't have been truer; he wanted to reach out and touch her, kiss her, tell her he was sorry for being...monstrous, but he thought she'd heard enough from him for one night and chose to just silently dig around for his tube.
"Okay, yeah, you're right. We can fix this, right Ray?" Henry asked his boss, looking hopeful that he wasn't about to fire him or say that the consequences of his fuck-up were irreparable. Ray clenched his jaw and shoved a gumball in his mouth, his movements mirroring his sidekicks' albeit with much more ferocity behind them, which made the air freeze as they waited for his reply. Jeez, he definitely looked furious, tense, like if they said one more thing he'd started throwing fists.
"Yeah, we'll use the memory-wiper. They won't remember a thing." Ray grumbled, standing in a wide space so he could snap into his suit, although he'd also factored in how she needed space from his temper and he needed space to calm down. It wasn't the best method out there and certainly not the kindest, but they didn't really have any other choice, not that (y/n) could hold her tongue. Ray normally took her advice on board, factored it into his equation and listened to her when no one else wanted to, but he wasn't in a good place right now.
"We could try something differe—" She argued, knowing that they should at least talk to the kids first and see what they had to say before they removed every memory in their heads, but the way his head snapped to meet her gaze, a cold, hard sternness in his eyes, it made her words run dry and his harshness plugged the silence.
"It's not up for discussion." He told her coldly, in the harshest voice he'd ever used with her and it was like time stopped. Henry and Charlotte looked at him with shocked, almost angry expressions at the tone he decided to use and blowing the bubbles felt numb for (y/n) like she was in a goldfish bowl looking out at the muffled world around her. Her super suit materialised around her, not that she felt it, she could just feel her heart breaking as she wondered what she'd done wrong and if there was anything she could do to make it better.
With their suits on, Ray went to grab the memory wiper and Henry stumbled over to the elevator's controls, with (y/n) hovering somewhere in the middle. The tension was thick in the air and the screams and shouts in the elevator were getting louder, but even still, Ray was determined to do this, he saw no other way.
"All right, kid, time to clean up your mess." The superhero grumbled, turning up the power on the device in his hand. He didn't want to do it, it's not like he enjoyed wiping the brains of kids, far from it, neither did he like how it divided his Man Cave into different opinions and disrupted the playful harmony in there. The sooner they did this, the sooner things could get back to normal, whatever normal was.
"You don't have to say it like that." (y/n) muttered, getting out of the way so she wouldn't get blasted accidentally and she hated the way her feet took her back to Ray's side like they knew it was safest there. It was, it was always gonna be safe with him, she just didn't know if he was okay with her being there.
"Come on, man. Do we really have to erase their memories?" Henry asked Ray, praying that by some miracle, or maybe by having (y/n) back in close proximity, he'd change his mind and suddenly say that they could be left alone, but it was wishful thinking.
"Yes! And turn the elevator power back on and open the door. Sweet girl, get back, I don't want you forgetting too." The man ordered, his tone softening slightly at the end as one arm pushed his girlfriend behind his shoulder. Okay, that made her heart flutter and she swallowed to keep her emotions under control. It was just his temper, she shouldn't take it to heart and knowing that he wanted her next to him was a good start for calming things down.
Henry flipped the lever again as Ray entered the settings on the memory wiper, his muscles tense under (y/n)'s fingertips when she tested to see if he'd left her touch his back. He did, of course, he welcomed her touch, thankful that she wasn't so scared that she couldn't be with him anymore and some of his frustration melted away when her cheek rested on his shoulder blade. Maybe it was a misunderstanding...
"Arghhhh, that's bright!" "Are we in heaven?" Kenzie and Hudson gasp as the Game Shaker kids were finally freed from the elevator, all of them blinded by the bright, flashing lights as they stumbled around in their pyjamas. The Man Cave had that effect on a lot of people and they blinked in awe as they saw Captain Man, Kid Danger, Miss Danger and some other girl stood there looking awkward and nervous.
"Hey, kids..." Ray smiled tightly whilst (y/n) poked out from behind him, properly revealing herself to the teens. It broke her heart to know that in a few minutes, they wouldn't remember any of this or any one, but she daren't say anything, not when Ray was still quite mad.
"Hello, everyone," "Good evening..." Henry and (y/n) greeted away warmly, standing next to Ray so the group was isolated and Babe blinked at Charlotte. She knew who the heroes were, but this girl was a complete stranger and she was fairly certain that this was all a dream. Or maybe this was all very real and her life had just gotten a bit crazier.
"Oh, uh, my name is Daenerys Targaryen...and pretend I'm not here," Charlotte told the kids, ignoring how crazy it seemed to be named after a fantasy character, but honestly, the teens weren't that interested in her, they just wanted to know how and why they were in this whacky place. 
"What happened to us?" "What is this place?" Kenzie and Trip asked, still blinking under the lights and seeing as though he was about to ruin their lives, Ray figured that a calm, soothing tone would be the best approach as he replied to them. He didn't want to scare them, that would be so annoying, having to chase down the kids as they tried to run away from the memory wiper's beams. It was just easier this way.
"Hi, everyone. Welcome to the Man Cave. Now, if you kids will just look this way, please. Look towards me, I'm just gonna use this to take a pic of you guys!" He lied, trying to seem honest, even though the device in his hands looked nothing like a camera, but at least it rolled Hudson, but then again, nearly everything fooled that kid.
"Oh, yeah. That's a great idea. Come on, everyone, let's get in close." The blond boy smiled and wrapped his arms around his friends so they could all huddle in. The girls and Trip were a little weirded out, but said nothing as Hudson squished them all together, their lips twitching into confused smiles as Ray aimed the wiper at them, powering it up to fire, but...
"All right, stop it! If you're gonna wipe their memories, you should at least have the guts to tell 'em." Henry stopped Ray at the last moment, making Charlotte and (y/n) peek out from behind their fingers as the Game Shakers gasped in horror. He was planning on doing what to them?! Pic, their asses, Captain Man was a born liar and hearing about his devious plan made them splutter. "What? Wipe our memories?!"
"Ahhh, it's fine, it's fine. It's just a camera...with a trigger. Okay, everyone, smile and say amnesia." Ray brushed off their worrying, taking aim as the teens panicked, Henry holding (y/n) back as she itched to help them or stop her dumb boyfriend or something, but he couldn't bear the thought of the man snapping at her again. His boss had a tendency to be a little destructive and so God help him, he was not gonna let him ruin the best thing in his life just because he was having a bad day. No way, Jose.
"WAIT! Wait, um, if—if you wipe our memories, we won't be able to make the cool game about you!" Babe stopped, thinking on her feet as Ray's pointer finger licked the trigger, freezing when she mentioned his video game. Smart girl, using Ray's ego was a sure-fire way to get what they wanted, mainly to retain the memories, and it made Ray pause for a moment as Kenzie took her best friend's idea and ran with it. "Yeah, and we had all those amazing ideas."
"I know, too bad, right?" Babe sighed, Trip hurriedly agreeing with them as Ray seriously considered what they were saying. He really wanted that damn game, but he had his rules and authority to think about, would he just throw all that away.
"Wait, wait like what ideas?" Yes, yes, he would do that. He was technically just testing the waters, trying to see if the kids were bluffing or not, but the idea had caught his attention and honestly, he was swaying. If they played their cards right, they were in with a chance here.
"Just stuff, like you, Captain Man, and Kid Danger and Miss Danger, travelling through time, fighting—fighting moon robots!" Babe answered, making most of it up on the spot, but she had long honed her bluffing skills and the details piqued Ray and Henry's interests. (y/n) wasn't particularly bothered about being in the game, but she saw the way her boyfriend's muscles loosened and how the memory wiper was slowly being put down, so she was willing to back it all the way. She could fight moon robots, she'd fight anything if it meant things went back to normal. "Yeah, moon robots!"
"And other villains from history." "And from the future!" Trip added, knowing that the more detail they added, the more it seemed like they'd actually thought this through and when Captain Man stroked his chin, looking all thoughtful, they held their breath. Please, no memory-wiping, please, no memory-wiping...
"Hmmm, so like a time travel angle." He pondered, loving the idea of him, plus his two sidekicks, kicking ass throughout history. That did sound awesome and just knowing that his name and face would be out there even more for people to recognise and adore, that just won him over pretty much.
"Yeah, yeah and we'll call it..." Kenzie trailed off, trying to think of something clever as Hudson wandered around the room, finally stopping when he found Schwoz's feet. He poked them, prodded them, tickled the soles so his toes wriggled and just knowing that there were someone's legs left unattended was fascinating to him. 
"Crime Warp!" "Yes, Crime Warp! That's definitely the name!" Babe and Kenzie shouted, coming up with a reasonably cool name from the top of their heads and by the look of the mystified glaze in Ray's eyes, he loved it. It was mysterious, edgy and all about him (and (y/n) and Henry, but that's just semantics), what's not to love? "Crime Warp..."
"This game sounds pretty sick, dude!" Henry whispered in his ear, tapping (y/n)'s arm so she'd get close to him and encourage him too. It wasn't a lie, he loved the idea too, but the woman's voice in his ear always twisted his arm because he was wrapped around her little finger, even if his moodiness did sour things sometimes.
"And it's all about you, sweetheart..." She purred to him, carefully hugging his arm and smiling, trying to see if he would warm up just a little and it worked. It worked a lot. Ray removed his arm from her hold, making her smile drop for just a second before it went around her shoulders, bringing her body to his slightly so he could plant a kiss on her hairline, making her release a breathy laugh. It was like things were settled between them again, not in a verbal way, they'd talk it straight later, but for now, they felt...okay and that was good.
"I know, I know, sweet girl. I know." He whispered, back, standing straighter to act like nothing was happening, their hushed voices were just them having a brief pow-wow, but on the inside, his heart was fluttering. She wasn't scared, she was smiling, she didn't shun his touch, she curled into him more and when he pulled back, her hand stayed in his, keeping them connected through anything.
"But, we can't make games without our memories." "It's simple biology." Trip and Kenzie argued, making Ray consider what they were saying for a moment. He couldn't have his cake and eat it, he couldn't wipe their memories and keep the promise of a cool game about him, so he was left with a decision, do it or don't do it.
"Hey, whose feet are these?" Hudson asked, tickling Schwoz's feet with delight as they wriggled, making (y/n) look over for a moment as she heard the small man giggle in the hidden corridor. Right, she couldn't explain that phenomenon, so she just had to get the kid away from Schwoz before he peed himself from the laughter. "Hey, leave those alone, you don't know who they belong to or where they've been."
Hudson immediately ran back to Trip's side, hiding behind his back as he got a strange, unnatural feeling from the feet and he deemed it best to keep well away. Going back to the important matter at hand, Babe, Kenzie and Trip looked at Captain Man with hopeful eyes, hoping he'd spare them because they certainly hold up their side of the bargain if he did. However, when Ray went to open his mouth, the answer ready on the tip of his tongue, the computer alarm sounded, drawing the superheroes' attention away abruptly. 
"Uh, what's that?" Babe asked, wondering what the invasive racket was and why the screens were flashing red. Charlotte ran over immediately, reading the monitor since that was kinda her job. "Breaking news."
"Go check it out," Ray told her, earning himself a stern glare since that was her plan the entire time. Why did he think she was walking if not to see what all the fuss was about? And, he was a tad rude; just because he was the boss didn't mean he couldn't use his manners, something his girlfriend always encouraged when he was getting a bit above himself. "What's that magic word we talked about for when you want someone to do you a favour?"
"Please," Ray added, squeezing her fingers in a silent apology as Charlotte accepted his answer. Was that so hard? Jeez, thank god (y/n) was around, he'd have them doing all sorts of laborious shit (something they'd witnessed with that whole parallel universe crap, Ray going off the rails without his soulmate).
"There was trouble tonight in New York City." Trent Overrunder started the report, grabbing everyone's attention as the news flashed up on the monitors. Upon hearing the native city's name, the Game Shakers ran over, Ray, (y/n) and Henry close behind them so they could listen for their job. Technically, it was out of their jurisdiction, New York being on the opposite side of the States, but if the need was dire, then they'd go anywhere; Captain Man would always help anyone if they asked for it.
"Also known as the Big Pear," Mary added, not realising that she'd mixed up her fruits, but the sentiment was there, not that Trent was any less forgiving, as usual.
"That's wrong, Mary." He told her, not caring how his colleague's face fell at how she'd messed up again, on national TV of all things. His face remained emotionless like he was just gonna brush over her sadness and not make her feel better, something which rubbed (y/n) the wrong way.
"I hate that guy. Why's he always gotta be so mean to her?" She whined, feeling Ray's arms snake around her waist and pull her back into his chest where he could keep all of her worries away. He knew how much she wanted to give Mary a hug for all the shit she went through and it just made him smile at how naturally caring she was. Yeah, something was up and he probably should've given it his full attention, but he couldn't, not when she looked over her shoulder and brushed her lips over his, the gentlest kiss they'd ever shared, but one they needed more than they realised. 
"Anyway, tonight, a brutal attack was attempted on famous rapper, Double G Griffin when he was in his office, grilling a steak." Trent carried on, sending the Game Shakers into a deep shock and panic. Their friend, boss and dad was attacked? What the fuck? They had so many questions concerning his safety, why, how, when and who, but none had more than Trip, who felt faint at the news. He couldn't lose his dad...
"My dad was attacked?!... Okay, that's disgusting." He cried but was quickly shushed as the anchors started talking again, making him wipe away the saliva that covered his cheeks. They listened eagerly, their ears straining for every word so that they would know every detail, even if the story got worse the more it went on.
"And according to New York Police, the attackers claim to have been hired by a criminal from right here in Swellview, Doctor Minyak." The man went on, the superheroes' hair standing on end when they heard the name. That bastard, he couldn't keep it local, he just had to move out of their patch, but if he thought that they wouldn't chase after him, then he had another thing coming. He was a Swellview criminal, which meant he was still their problem. 
"Minyak..." Ray growled, his arms tightening around his girl as his anger picked up again, but this time, it was well-justified. The doctor had crossed a serious line, bringing violence to the table and hurting innocents just to get under his skin and it took every ounce of restraint in his body and the feeling of (y/n) conjoining their hands to stop him from losing it again. He was glad she was there and glad that she seemed as ready to kick Minyak's ass as he was, Henry too. They didn't have much love for brutality either.
"That's the guy that was trying to stop my dad from doing the revenge charity concert." Trip exclaimed, shaking Babe's arm with every word, something he didn't realise he was doing until his grip got too tight and she yanked it away from him. She didn't need a bruise, not when they were gonna come up with a plan to save/protect Dub. "Yeah, I'm following along."
"Luckily, Double G was unharmed, but thanks to a box of fireworks, two of his main bodyguards, Bunford Simmons and Rutherford. P Ainsworth were very harmed." Trent reported, making the kids whine in sympathy as they heard the terrible, terrible news. They loved the bodyguards and would hate if anything bad happened to them and it had, so their day/night wasn't going so good.
"They'll be resting painfully in the hospital for a while, but the two bodyguards are expected to make a full recovery." Well, that was some good news, at least. No permanent damage, but it still meant Dub was unprotected and that Minyak was probably swanning around thinking his plan was gonna work for once. Like they'd ever let him contemplate that notion, he needed to know he was a loser, a cowardly, smug loser who didn't stand a chance against three superheroes and a bunch of disgruntled kids.
"I guess they forgot to guard their own bodies." Mary smiled, proud of her little wordplay even if the timing was a little awkward and morbid. Trent though, was repulsed by her humour and rather than just grin and bear it like most polite people would do, he simply stood up and walked off set, leaving the poor, blonde lady to wilt in disappointment. What an asshole.
"This is a disaster!" Trip cried, walking away from the supercomputer in a frantic fashion as he thought about the very real danger his father was in right now. No one knew how eccentric he could be, not like Ruthless and Bunny, no one knew how to keep him safe from nutters like Minyak as they did, what were they gonna do if there was another attack at the concert?
"No, no, come on. They said Bunny and Ruthless are gonna be all right." Babe followed him, her voice calm as she tried to stop his worrying, but it didn't help all that much. They still had a huge problem; who was gonna protect Double G now? They needed someone who would actually stand a chance against Minyak, someone who knew how he worked and how he thought, someone who had an excellent track record against him.
"But they're in the hospital! Resting painfully!" He snapped a reply, not meaning to be spiteful, but his emotions were running high until his eyes landed on Ray, (y/n) and Henry, wait a second... "Captain Man, Miss Danger, Kid Danger, you guys gotta come back to New York with us to protect my dad. Please!" 
They thought about it for a minute, debating whether it was their problem if it was in an entirely different city, but this was Minyak, he was their problem, they angered him. It was technically, kinda their fault, not that they'd ever admit it and when Ray looked at his sidekicks, they gave him subtle nods. They were all in, willing to do what was right, but he wanted to bargain, just a little. "You guys swear you're gonna make a super cool game about me, Miss Danger and Kid Danger?" 
"Yes!" "Totally!" Their enthusiastic replies were instantaneous, (y/n) and Henry giving Ray the side-eye of mild disgust at how he didn't agree unreservedly as they did. Seriously, the stupid game again? That's what he was bidding a man's life against? Another thing to be added to the pile for stern words about with his girlfriend later and more grovelling for him. He never learned. The moment was drawn out for a few seconds, Ray walking over to the magic box containing Schwoz's feet just so he could add a touch of drama, his mind already made up.
"Well, kid, sweet girl...looks like we're going to New York!" Ray broke the news with a smile, (y/n) tackling him in a flying hug as the teens breathed a sigh of relief at him accepting their request for help. He couldn't say no, it wasn't in his nature and it went against every moral fibre of his that screamed for justice, not to mention how his sweet girl would never forgive him, he could never have said no. Henry and Charlotte shared a grin too, ecstatic that they got to go on a trip they'd always wanted to go on (of course, it was about their duty too) and they also smiled at how the lovey-dovey couple were as much in love with each other as they had always been, if not more so.
"Thank you." (y/n) mumbled into Ray's ear, feeling like she should say it just to show him how she appreciated, no, admired his kindness, how he was willing to help a bunch of kids in a city that he had nothing to do with, merely because it was the right thing to. His arms tightened around her, taking most of her weight as she stood on her tiptoes and his cheek fell against the crown of her head, him feeling like she shouldn't be thanking him, he should be thanking her for sticking around when he was an asshole. No girl could leave Captain Man, they sought the fame, his good looks, his endless charm, but none stayed when all that fell, leaving him as a normal guy with normal feelings, a temper and fame that stretched to his working life and nothing else. (y/n) stayed and he was thankful for that, she loved everything, the good and the bad.
"S'okay. I'm sorry for shouting earlier, I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you, not when you were just trying to help." He replied, one hand stroking her face tenderly, his thumb running over her cheekbone as he tried to convey every ounce of remorse he felt in a twenty-three-word sentence. She was so sweet and he was so bitter at times, he wondered what did make her stay, why she didn't leave for someone who didn't have the baggage he did, the stress, the constant possibility that one emergency call might be their last if something went horribly wrong. 
"It's all right. You're human, you're allowed to feel angry. Captain Man isn't indestructible on the inside and that's okay." She said softly, her hand resting on his cheek too so she could show him the same tenderness. It was just about him keeping her safe, it worked the other way too and by no means did she expect him to be perfect, he wasn't a robot, he screamed, he shouted, he did dumb shit sometimes and whilst it hurt when he was prickly with her, she always brushed it off because she knew him and knew that him at his worst was miles apart from him at his best. She stayed because she loved him, all of him.
"I love you, sweet girl. Always, even when I'm stupid and I don't show it, I love you." He mumbled, unaware of how Charlotte and Henry were still smirking, the Game Shaker kids whispering giddily amongst themselves about flying home with three superheroes. He didn't care, not when she snuggled closer and pressed a short but very sweet kiss to his lips, pulling back to lean their foreheads together.
"And I love you. Always, whether you're Captain Man or Ray Manchester, I love all of you." She replied, feeling like the Man Cave was quiet for just a moment, even with all the chattering and thrumming machines. It was peaceful between them and that meant their home was peaceful too...until Schwoz opened his big, fat mouth.
"Are we really going to New York?!" The small man shouted excitedly from the other room, assuming that the announcement extended to him too. he just had to put himself back together and he'd be with them, after all, he'd always wanted to go to the Big Apple (not pear, sorry, Mary).
"Yeah, but not you, Schwoz!" Ray shouted back, feeling a little awkward at how he'd misunderstood the situation. This was a protect and kick-ass kinda mission, two things Schwoz wasn't particularly good at. No, he needed to stay here and watch the Man Cave, both pieces of him.
"Oh, come on! Just take my upper half!" He whined, trying to convince them like he could fit into an overhead storage locker or something. Yeah, like they could get half a man past the border, just hearing his voice sent the New York kids into a perplexed horror. 
"No thanks, Schwoz, that is both weird and disgusting!" (y/n) replied flatly, wishing he'd just shut it about going on the damn trip so she could get back to kissing her boyfriend, who smiled awkwardly at the teens as he kept screaming about his halves. There was never a normal day in the Man Cave...
~The next day, Double G's concert, backstage~
Well, they'd made it, the Big Apple! Broadway, Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, bagels, yellow cabs, angry people, Time Square, Central Park, the Empire State Building, everything was just pure NYC. Dub's concert was a few minutes from going live and everyone was getting into position. 
Charlotte and Trip were in the broadcasting room, having used his fame and status as Double G's son to get past the security and questions people threw at them, and now, they were Ray's eyes in the sky, watching everything from every angle. Hudson, Babe and Kenzie were hanging out in different areas backstage, casually strolling around to see if they could spot Minyak, with Ray and (y/n) having stressed a "no engagement policy". They just said what they saw, they'd do all the hard work. The heroes' had to get close to Dub if they were gonna guard his body as bodyguards so they'd come up with a brilliant if embarrassing, plan. Backup Dancers, oh yeah. 
The boys got to look like two adorable pharaohs, blending in with the stage's Egyptian theme and (y/n) wasn't much different. She managed to swipe a spare costume from some unsuspecting dancer and surprisingly, it fit pretty damn well. They'd have to ignore her minimal makeup, she had no time to go full Egyptian Goddess, but with the accessories, shimmery halter top and skirt, plus her gold sneakers, she looked the part and Ray was more than appreciative of the way her ass and hips were accentuated in the outfit.
(Sorry about the quality, this was the best screenshot I could grab <3)
Tumblr media
"Henry, Ray, (y/n), you copy? Henry? Ray? (y/n)?" Charlotte's concerned voice came through on their earpieces, distracting them from getting their costumes straight. Jeez, they only needed a minute, they couldn't look like a mess of international TV, people would be scrutinising them, well, it would reflect on Double G if his dancers looked weird. "Where are you guys?"
"Okay, hey, Char. We're on stage, no sign of Doctor Minyak yet." Henry reported into his watch, (y/n) biting her lip when her hand slid up Ray's arm, the muscles that rippled under her fingers completely exposed in his pharaoh tunic. Yeah, maybe she should've been concentrating a bit more, but she couldn't help give his bicep a quick squeeze, not when he deliberately flexed to make her swoon even harder. He was loving her attention, her outfit, her everything way too much to say it was supposed to be a stealth mission.
"Copy that," Charlotte replied, ending their connection for the time being so they could concentrate on their spying and she and Trip could work on the monitors. He had to be somewhere, there was no way he'd call them, swear revenge and attack the rapper for nothing, he was just being sneaky, like usual.
"Babe, Kenzie, it's (y/n), can you hear me?" The woman moved onto the next pair after she'd finished ogling her boyfriend, promising herself that she could worship his god-like chest and arms later when they'd wrapped this up. The girls picked up immediately, recognising her voice despite the name drop. They knew where the Man Cave was, they knew about Henry, it only made sense that they knew her and Ray's identities, after swearing never to tell, of course, them being way too honoured by the privilege to even think of betrayal.
"We do." "Go for Kenzie." They replied softly, trying to not seem suspicious to anyone around them by talking into their borrowed whiz watches. The last thing they wanted to do was tip-off Minyak, who no doubt had brought some goons with him, meaning there could be eyes and ears everywhere. That was why Ray was being so careful, he needed to stay one step ahead of Minyak if he was gonna spoil his plan.
"Yeah, uh, for the Captain Man, Miss Danger, Kid Danger game..." Ray butted in, thinking that since he couldn't see anything, for the time being, they could negotiate and plan a little more, despite his girlfriend making the call to ask some proper questions, not chat about the dumb game. Henry groaned, she smacked her forehead, but Ray either didn't hear or didn't care 'cause he wasn't bothered, he just turned and admired his girlfriend's figure.
"I mean, I was gonna ask if they've seen anything but okay." She muttered, noting the way his gaze trailed up her thighs and you'd think her having her hands on her hips would tell him to focus, but his pupils dilated and he just smirked, pretty pleased with the view he was getting. Soft thighs for days...
"Yeah, I just think I should have really big muscles, like even bigger than the ones I actually have." He told the girls, having been prompted by his girl feeling up his arms and it was like instant inspiration. He wasn't ignorant of the fact that she had a thing for his arms and how insanely huge they always seemed to be compared to her smaller figure and because of the way his biceps made her quiver, he just thought that they should stress that it was the game, give her something to blush about every time she played it. Almost like a subtle reminder of what/who was waiting for her at the end of the day; his muscles would always find a way to drag her onto his chest where she always slept best before finally settling around her waist for the night. Yeah, his muscles were great.
"Now is not the time for that and stop staring at your girlfriend!" Henry hissed into his watch, watching as (y/n) flushed and Ray winced from the loud feedback. He definitely got the message, the young woman even more so when she remembered who else was in on the frequency, namely a load of kids who didn't need to know how she and her boyfriend constantly drilled over each other. Henry and Charlotte were used to it, but that didn't mean the Game Shakers had to be.
"Will you guys just keep an eye on my dad?" Trip asked impatiently, feeling like everyone, mainly the superheroes AKA their main line of defence, were getting distracted. If his dad hurt then they will have failed and he wasn't gonna let that happen. 
"Yeah, it's all good, Triple G. We got eyes on Double G right now." Henry soothed him, the three of them watching as Dub did some...butt exercises? His instructor was really working his hips, loosening them up for the concert, but never mind the weirdness, at least he was in their line of sight and he was out of trouble. If the guy needed to wiggled his butt, then that was fine by them.
"What are you two doing?" (y/n) asked the boys in confusion when her head snapped to her left and right and she saw that they were taking the instructors orders as their own and copying Dub's acting by shaking their butts and thrusting their hips. Lord have mercy on her filthy, sinful soul, just watching Ray move like that, it dragged her mind to the gutter, her cheeks darkening ever so slightly as they scrambled for an answer.
"Hmmm? What was that, sweet girl?" "Huh? Hmmm?" They stuttered, stopping as she knitted her eyebrows together and gave them both a judgemental look. Okay, weird but she could move on, she had to if she had any hope of not dragging her boyfriend off in search of a spare janitor's closet. 
"Whatever, let's just go." She told them, taking Ray's hand and dragging him off the stage so they could keep looking for Minyak or any of his lowlife minions. It was nearly time for the show, just fifteen minutes or so and Minyak was already in the building, over the stage, in fact, plotting Double G's demise with Nurse Cohort by his side. This was gonna be the one, the one where he succeeded and regained his notoriety for finally foiling those who tried to stop him. His device, something of his own invention, was gonna turn Dub into a howling, raving idiot and embarrass him in front of millions, how intrinsically evil was that?
~Ten minutes later~
"Double G!...Double G!...Double G!" The crowd chanted, pumped for their hero's appearance on stage as the lights dimmed. This was it, the big moment, the cameras were rolling, the stage was set, everything and everyone was in place, including Minyak, all anyone had to do now, was wait for the man himself to appear on his podium and the music to start. 
Dub's ass lit up on stage, two, luminescent G's on his pants so his logo would be the first thing people saw and now it made sense that he was doing butt exercises a short while beforehand. The beat picked up and so did the sway of his hips, his butt moving from side to side just like his coach had instructed him and it was a pretty funny yet incredible way to start the show, definitely a Dub special. The G logo stopped shaking as the beat reached a crescendo, the gold glitter sparkling under the lights when he fell to the sound of "drop that", illuminating the stage in a pyrotechnic explosion as sparks flew and the crowd roared.
There he was, Double G, stood in the darkness like he was blinded by the lights, but he owned the stage, commanded it and this was all part of his act. The lights turned on, smoke spreading across the room as he stepped forward on a golden platform, flanked by two more G's on the left and right as the screams deafened him.
"MIC!! SHADES!!" He yelled, both items appearing in his hands as if by magic, a trick that wowed both the people in-house and those around the world, watching from their homes. He slid the shades over his eyes like he was donning his Double G persona with that mere gesture and with the order for the audience, both in the arena and elsewhere, to scream, the show officially began as he ran up some stairs to a higher level. 
"I go by the name! Double! G!" He screamed, prompting the dancers backstage to rush to their places, ready to rush on as soon as he started rapping. Ray, (y/n) and Henry, being in costume, were ushered with them, their heart rates increasing as they realised that they'd have to go one with no practice, no rhythm and no clue what they were doing. This was gonna be fun.
"I'm livin' ma life, you wishin' you could, I do ma own thing, I do it so good. No key on ma payday, it's right, high key, I'm the gold on the mic. You pay for the show, well I'm in it..." Dub rapped, his dancers knowing the moves, the beat and the superheroes stumbled awkwardly onto the stage and tried to blend in.
"Uh, what are we doing?" Henry asked the couple, (y/n) getting a vague idea of what the dance was since it was the same one from the music video, so she wasn't completely clueless, unlike Henry and Ray who had no idea what was going on. They just needed to look normal.
"Just keep an eye out for Doctor Minyak," Ray told him, more worried about the doctor and whatever he was planning than dancing. He was a superhero, not an entertainer and whilst he would like to feel (y/n)'s hips grinding up against him to the music, they had much bigger things to worry about.
"Hey, we're supposed to be dancers. Don't you know the moves from the music video?" (y/n) hissed at them, roughly copying what her fellow female dancers were doing, feeling a bit heavy-footed with the first few steps, but she was doing better than the boys, who just swung their arms and stamped their feet awkwardly, the young woman getting into it as they built up to the chorus.
"I just do what I do, so you do you! Yeah, and I never fall long! Just do what I do, so you do you! Top dog, I'm a boss! I'm in it to win it, we on! Ma squad is so Gucci, we gone! You talk 'bout my back, but you smile in my face, between ma semmies, we throwin' the shade! I'm drawin' a line in the sand! So, we keep it all in the fam, I know that I make it look easy, livin' so hot, I make you feel crazy!" The music went on, (y/n) really showing her natural rhythm as she copied the female dancers with only a few mistakes in between and she looked like one of them, her mind casting back to the music video she'd seen a million times. Ray and Henry were still awful, but all of them were looking for Minyak, who was ready to pounce. 
"Nurse Cohort! It's time!" He exclaimed his special device that made people sound like Wookies still on his wrist. His assistant encouraged him to do it, wanting this whole thing to be over so she could file her nails in peace and Minyak didn't need telling twice. "I shall!" 
The doctor climb up to the rigging, supporting his weight on one arm precariously as (y/n) and her newfound squad steamed forward with Dub, her hand on his shoulder like she really had been hired. She was trying to freak out at touching the Double G, telling herself that he was just a person like her and just because he was a gazillionaire didn't mean she should lose it, not when she had one eye showering the crowds and the stage for Minyak. "No! They can't do it like me!"
Being the utter idiot he was, it didn't take long to find Minyak, who slipped as he tried to cling to the rigging and landed face-first on the stage, where the sight of numerous, confused dancers diving out of the way caught the attention of those watching. Double G boogied on as the doctor groaned and got to his feet, Kenzie and Babe rushing to their stage entrance once they'd seen Minyak from their screen.
"You guys! Minyak's on stage!" Babe exclaimed into her watch, instantly piquing the attention of Ray, Henry and (y/n), the latter of whom toned down her danced and slowly moved the back of the troupe once she realised that something was going down. It's fine, she could party with Dub some other time. 
"Where?!" Ray asked, his eyes frantically looking for his enemy as his girl grooved back to his side, trying to appear like she was fading out slowly, but with all the action, no one on stage could see what was happing. Minyak was just another body in the sea of people to them.
"He's stage right, next to the big G," Charlotte replied, she and Trip seeing everything from the broadcasting room, meaning that they saw the villain falling down and everything. Great, that meant they'd have to get across to the other side without looking weird or alerting Minyak, two things which were easier said than done.
"There!" Henry pointed and the couple's eyes followed his direction until they saw the man trying to avoid the dancers and all the fun going on around him. He stuck out like a sore thumb and whatever he was up to, it wasn't to wish Dub his congratulations on holding a damn good concert. 
"Ugh, Minyak! He's ruining the show!" (y/n) growled, watching as the criminal limped around the stage, dragging the leg he'd injured in his fall and he was clearly causing a disruption that was hellishly confusing for anyone watching on TV. Dub hadn't noticed, or maybe he had and just carried on like a professional, but either way, the supers had to do something before he did something evil.
"Let's go back there," Ray told his sidekicks, seeing the perfect spot behind a big G for them to safely pop some gumballs. Babe and Kenzie had their own little plan of attack whilst they were transforming or whatever, following Minyak to the other side of the stage as he danced and Dub kept singing.
"Okay, guys, let's blow a bubble..." Ray started, throwing some gum into his mouth as his sidekicks stood on either side of him, mirroring his movements. He'd be sad to see (y/n) change out of her cute little dancing clothes, but he loved her in anything, preferred her in nothing, so either way, he was happy.
"And save a Double..." She smirked, turning to Henry so he could finish the rhyme they'd come up with on the flight over to New York and damn, it felt epic to say as they prepared to don their hero attire. "G!" Their bubbles popped, the Egyptian costumes disappeared and in their place stood Captain Man, Kid Danger and Miss Danger, ready to kick some doctor butt.
Tumblr media
"Let's go attack Minyak." Henry smirked, informing how (y/n) quickly gave Ray's arm a squeeze just because they were now hidden by the suit, but by no means any smaller. They were still rock-solid, full of power and completely hers to fondle and admire; yeah, she liked his arms.
Circling back from around the G, the heroes walked onto the stage, looking to see where Minyak had scurried off to and spotted him pretty much where he had been moments prior, only this time, their striking uniforms stood out amongst the dancers and he immediately knew that they were there to spoil his plan.
"No! Captain Man, Miss Danger and Kid Danger! Quick, stop them!" He yelled, his fear spiking when he realised that he wasn't free from justice in New York and that no matter where he ran off to, they were following behind him to protect the innocent citizens of wherever. Ray, (y/n) and Henry rolled their eyes, stepping forward at his empty threats, only to recoil slightly when three masked Jackal dancers blocked their path and revealed themselves to be Billie, Jean and King from the cargo plane. They obviously hadn't learnt their lesson; never deal with Minyak unless you want trouble and face full of fist.
"I think those three dancers are Minyak's goons!" Charlotte told her watch, watching the way they acted in front of the heroes and she thought it was best to warn them, even though they could already sense the danger they were in. Well, danger for the goons, they could take these idiots any day.
"Yeah, we figured that. Don't worry, we'll sort 'em." (y/n) replied quickly, seeing Ray clench his fists in the corner of her eye and once she'd ended her reply, her fists did the same, coming up protectively over her abdomen and chest.
"Sorry, boys, girl, doctor's busy right now." One of the thugs spat, looking up and down at the heroes as if they hadn't received a pasting for crossing them last time. All they needed to do was keep them occupied whilst Minyak lined up his shot for ruining Dub's voice, but it was just Captain Man and his team fighting this battle.
"Oh, gee, that's too bad, 'cause, uh, I got this thing on my hand..." Ray grumbled, flexing his hand like it was cramping up and he stepped forward to the guy who spoke like he was in pain and definitely not like he was about to slug him. The man tilted his head, not having realised that Captain Man wasn't one for boring, he liked to add a bit of spice to his fighting. "What thing?"
"Your face!" The large man exclaimed and punched the goon across the jaw, starting a brawl between the superheroes and Minyak's heavies as they tried to punch their way across the stage, something that drew the doctor's attention. Henry ducked out of the way of Jean's punches, his hyper-motility making him seem like a blur as he jabbed at his gut, making the guy groan in agony as (y/n) took on King.
"Nope, gonna have to hit harder than that, asshole!" She smirked as he tried to punch her across the face like Ray had done to his associate, but no matter how much he tried to break her jaw, her nose, her arms, her legs, rupture her spleen or her kidneys, she just bounced back instantly, fighting through the small bursts of pain before healing back up and getting on with it. She kneed King in the groin, practically purring in victory as he doubled over in pain, allowing her to kick him in the face too. That gotta hurt, but Minyak was taking his final shot and they were all busy scrapping, so desperate times called for desperate measures...
"That's a rap, Double G! No! Hold still!" He growled, trying to get a fix on the man as he danced to his music, meaning he couldn't get a clear shot. That was good, Dub was unknowingly protecting himself from lifelong embarrassment and Charlotte was quick to notice Minyak's shenanigans.
"You guys! Minyak's aiming something at Dub!" The girl told the heroes, not knowing what the something was, but it couldn't be friendly, not when he was scowling like that. Seeing that they needed to get over there and fast, Ray and (y/n) gave their opponents the hardest punches they could, rendering them dazed and confused for a few moments as Henry pummelled his guy's stomach with lightning speed, knocking him to the ground too. Meanwhile backstage, Babe and Kenzie were on a mission of their own, sneaking to the lights guy and with a little distraction, they were able to mess with his controls so the bright stage lights blinded Minyak from his task, buying their friends some time.
"Say goodbye to your voice, Double—Argh!" Minyak groaned as he tried to say another quirky line before he went down in history and he did go down, right after he was kicked in the face back a dancer twirling around the stage. He fell to the floor, dropping his device as he stumbled and clutched his cheek before looking around for the thing that was gonna bring him fame and glory. "My thing! Where did it go?!"
"Captain Man! Miss Danger! Kid Danger! Minyak's weapon is right behind you!" Charlotte's voice came through on their earpieces, she and Trip were still able to see anything and everything. They knew where the thing was, they could see it on the monitor, but they couldn't grab it and it was so frustrating to see it lying there as Minyak struggled for clarity.
"Wait. Where'd you say the weapon is again?" Henry asked, (y/n) and Ray were a little preoccupied with two guys double-teaming them to listen properly. They heard something about the weapon but were a little busy working together to fend the men off, Ray lifting his girl up so she could kick a guy in the face when he came running towards them, him slamming his elbow back into a man's nose when he came running from behind. That kinda thing.
"On the floor!" Charlotte stressed, wishing she could run ad tell them or do it herself, but she wasn't close enough to to the stage and a small break in their brawl allowed (y/n) to search the stage floor as Ray gave her a bit of cover, beating any guy who dared to come near her into a pulp.
"There! Kid, it's on the floor, there!" She yelled, pointing at the wrist thing momentarily before Billie or Jean or King or whoever grabbed her arm, twisting it harshly so she had to give up and fight back, kicking his shin with her steel-toe boot. Seeing where she was gesturing to, Henry made a split-second judgement call and dived for the device thing, sliding along the floor to grab it when a thug grabbed his ankle and yanked him back, leaving the weapon where it laid.
Henry was back into the fray, kicking the guy who grabbed him as the music continued, the dancers danced, Dub rapped and Minyak howled in frustration, scouring the ground for his thingamjiggy. He stormed past Captain Man, who was too busy smacking a guy who'd briefly bruised (y/n) to stop him and made his way up the stairs, going for Dub with or without his invention. He could still ruin the show with his bare hands.
"Man, who the butt are you?!" Dub screamed as he turned and saw some crazy, heavily breathing weirdo claw for him, disrupting the show as he was forced to quit rapping to keep himself safe. 
"Doctor Horacio. T Minyak!" He bellowed in response, ready to end this charade once and for all. Meanwhile, the backstage crew were going insane, panicking about what the hell was going on and wondering who the party-crashed was arguing with their star, but no one had an answer and Dub was too much of a professional to let some sick loner ruin his revenge concert for some poor kids.
"If you wanna stop me, this is the wrong time!" Dub screamed, still moving with the music so the crowd wouldn't worry or stampede, but he was very confused and slightly fearful as to what this psycho was doing on his stage. Seriously, where was his security?
"What do you want?!" He screeched again when Minyak lunged for him, the weapon being kicked around on the floor as everyone struggled for control, apart from Kenzie, who poked her head out from the curtains to see what was happening.
"Kenzie! You gotta grab this!" (y/n) shouted after she noticed the girl and shoved the thug trying to restrain her backwards so she could kick it in her direction. The weapon skidded across the stage, landing next to the teen who quickly picked it up, unsure of what to do now that she had it.
"Sweet! What do I do with this?!" She yelled, hoping they could give her some guidance since they were the superheroes, not her. She was just a nerd who made video games with her friends, she wasn't a fighter, she was a Games Shaker.
"Blast Minyak!" Ray replied back with a shout, punching a goon again as he struggled to keep them down. These men were relentless and even though they were nowhere near tired yet, all this crap was getting pretty repetitive. Their advice boggled the brainiac, who had no idea how to "blast Minyak", but she didn't have much time to think about it as a henchman strode towards her, intent on ripping his boss's thing from her hands. The girl screamed and ducked back behind the curtains, seeing Hudson checking out the buffet.
"Hudson! Catch! Blast Minyak!" She screamed, making the boy roar (Minyak had tested his weapon out on him, what a dick) as he received the invention and Billie came into the backstage area, making Kenzie scream again. He ran for Hudson, only to be stopped by two stagehands wheeling a huge G across the room and the boys hopped around it like they were playing tag, only with much more dire consequences. Babe came running when she heard the commotion and seeing his chance to lose the psycho chasing him, he chucked the device in her direction, allowing her to catch it just as Billie grabbed him. He put up a fight, a producer joining him, buying Babe enough time to run back on stage where Minyak had taken Dub to the floor where he'd strangle him or something. 
"Babe! Blast Minyak!" Henry instructed her when he saw how she had no clue what to do, and her floundering tuned to a calm smile when she saw how cute he was when fighting. Aw, (y/n) saw the look between them, something that didn't distract her from twisting a thug's arm behind his back, but definitely warmed her heart even in the moment of peril. 
"Anything for you, Kid Danger!" She replied sweetly, feeling her heart flutter as Dub pinned Minyak down for ruining his concert. They needed to get this show back to normal and there was no telling was the mad doctor would do next, so there was no time for romance.
"Babe, blast him now!" (y/n) shouted, struggling to watch for any men that might charge at her as the one she was facing grew more and more relentless. Seeing that she had no other options, the girl looked to her left and decided to climb the stage's support structure for a better shot, one where she'd be high enough to get the doctor and not her boss/friend. Billie broke free from backstage, rushing to tackle her from the rigging, which made her freeze in terror, only for Kenzie and Hudson to hold him back with all their strength. Seeing that she was the only one who could do this, she aimed the blaster at Minyak, but Dub was still in the way and she couldn't risk hitting him.
"Dad! Jump! Hurry, dad! Jump!" Trip's voice came over the intercom, reverberating all around the arena as Dub recognised his son's voice. Dub wasn't going to stick around with Minyak for much longer and trusting his son who could see that he'd have the perfect landing, he made the leap of faith, landing perfectly in Ray's arms. Well, it wasn't every day he got to carry a famous rapper bridal style, this was an honour.
"Hello, Double G! Glad I could catch your show." He smirked, so proud of himself for coming up with that quip on the spot and as (y/n) stumbled over to see if they were all right, the couple was shocked to discover that Dub knew who they were. Okay, pinch them, this had to be a dream...
"Captain Man! I love you and Miss Danger! Your girl is hot!" He screamed, making (y/n) blush and squeal to herself at the kind compliment and Ray blushed as he furiously nodded in agreement. His girl was hot and he was also kinda fangirling on the inside at how he'd touched Double G, holy shit. Everyone but Minyak was happy and he just so happened to pick up the leftover mic from when Dub had dropped to safety.
"Stop! Everyone halt your gyrations!" The villain screamed, silencing the festivities as the heroes looked at each other to see what he'd do next. He was unpredictable, anything could come out of his mouth, anything to ruin the concert. "People of the world! Look at me! I am the greatest supervillain of all time!" He screamed into the mic, just as Babe took her shot, free from other people or weirdos trying to attack her, it hit dead centre, making Minyak's head go all fuzzy for a second. 
He looked dazed for a few seconds, everyone watching with bated breath for him to say or do something but he just shook his head and stared at the crowd blindly. 
"ARGHHHHGHHGGRGHH!" Was the only thing that came out of his mouth. He really did sound like a Wookie and the audience began to laugh at how ridiculous he sounded, because the angrier he got, the more his garbled voice became hilarious. Ray and (y/n) giggled with each other as Henry and Dub snorted and Minyak fell to his knees in despair, finally admitting defeat as the world laughed at him. Another plan failed, oh well.
"All right, let's bring it home!" Dub yelled, picking up his mic so they could continue from where they'd left off and the music soon came back on, the crowd getting back into it as Henry and Ray did their little hand clap thing for a job well done and went to walk off the stage, but Dub wasn't gonna have that. They'd saved him, this was their moment as much as his. "Hey, hey, hey! Come on, guys, yeah, yeah!"
"Just do what I want so you do you! And I never fall long!" The man sang again, dragging the heroes to centre stage where they just accepted the fact that they were part of the show now and just accepted it as the dancers came back on. They moved to the rhythm unashamedly, Ray and (y/n) laughing along together as he held onto her hips and she followed the actual routine. She'd have to teach him later.
Hearing Babe, Kenzie and Hudson cheering at the side of the stage, they beckoned them over, knowing that they'd saved the day just as much as they had and they deserved to party too, rub it in Minyak's face a little as he sulked and watched. Charlotte and Trip were quick to join too, the former being a little shy so she just stuck to the back, but Trip tackled his dad in a warm hug, so relieved to see him okay. The dancing continued, the group of the Man Cave team and the Game Shakers entertaining the crowd of thousands.
"Hey, Hen?" (y/n) yelled in the boy's ear, knowing the music would cover up what they were talking about. Plus, everyone's focus was mainly on Dub or maybe Trip, the real celebrities, so she was free to do a little digging as she swayed her hips with Ray, enjoying the feeling of his hands casually running up and down her waist.
"Yeah, what?" The boy asked casually, too focused on his moves to notice the lilt in her voice or the small smirk on her face. He just wanted to keep dancing to Drop That Wat, it was only when she spoke again that he started paying attention.
"So, uh, that Babe girl, over there? She likes you, a lot, I think." She smirked, watching as the kid froze for a second before moving again, although this time he was noticeably less energetic and his eyes quickly darted across the golden GG platform to see the brunette laughing with her friends. Wait, he knew that they'd been a little weird in his house, maybe a little smiley, but really? A crush on him? A Game Shaker? He didn't know how to react to that, but Babe was really pretty and he'd found himself smiling back, laughing when she said something funny...oh, god, did he like her too? 
"You really think so?" He asked, the woman laughing at how his eyes were as wide as saucers and how his skin went pale before he blushed. Wow, he was really easy to read when it came to romance and just by the way he bit his lip, she already knew that there were two new lovebirds in her life. She'd watched way too many romcoms to be wrong, she knew cute love stories inside out, apart from when it came to spotting how her best friend was in love with her and had thought she was the most beautiful, intelligent, unattainable woman for ten years before they confessed, but that was neither here nor there.
"Yeah, she obviously has a crush on you. And I mean you, not Kid Danger. Would I be correct in assuming that you like her a bit too?" (y/n) smiled widely, her cheeks aching a bit as Ray twirled her a bit, completely oblivious to their conversation since it was about love and he wasn't very good at noticing that either unless it was pointed or forced out of him. Henry gulped, glancing at Babe again and his breath hitched and that was an answer. He didn't need to say anymore, she just knew when his dancing died down to barely a jig and his face grew into a smile without him even noticing it. Yeah, there it was, the lovesick smile, the one that she, that Ray, that anyone who had ever been in love had given to their crush and Henry Hart was giving it to Babe Carano. 
"Maybe. Just a bit, she's really pretty and funny and cool and—" Henry stopped himself realising that he rambling and gushing about the girl he'd only known for a couple of days, but to (y/n), it was cute and she knew that people who waited rarely found happiness, they were just left with regret.
"Take it from me, kid. I waited ten years to tell the man I love that I felt the same way and I wish that we had said it sooner, 'cause it would've meant less pain and confusion on both sides. Just stay honest with her and see how it goes. I'd hate to see you regret not doing anything." She put a hand on his shoulder, not caring if it seemed weird that they were having some touching moment in front of thousands, if not millions, of people, but it felt like it was just them, a sister advising her brother on what to do.
"Thanks, (y/n/n). Ray...doesn't know how lucky he is." He returned her soft smile, seeing her eyes wrinkle in happiness at her words before the man in question saw that she wasn't dancing and pulled her back into his chest, inspiring a fit of giggles and more movement from her as Henry watched with a sigh.
Maybe he would stay in touch with Babe, maybe he would tell her that he was interested in being more than friends and maybe if his friend was right, they could be something more. All he knew was that Ray better get down on one knee soon, 'cause girls like (y/n), they're one in a million.
