Loyalty to Royalty

Erik!Stevens x OC

Part Six

- - - - - - - - - -

Princess Imani was the black sheep of her family, never really fitting the female royal type. When an arranged marriage between Prince N'Jadaka and her is set up, she tries her hardest to get away... but she just can’t.

Warning: Smut

- - - - - - - - - -

The following morning, the sun hit through the window at just the perfect timing as the dawn light filled the room. Imani rolled over, immediately being faced with N'Jadaka in his bed. Noticing that they were both naked, a blush slowly started to creep her face.

To say how much different he was in bed versus not, it was like the sun and moon. He wouldn't dare disrespect her if she told him to go do something, there was no hesitance because there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for her. Outsiders may look within the relationship and assume that she was the one that took charge, and he listened to her.

Now, he established that when pushed to the limit, he can assert his dominance when needed. Honestly, that is what made Imani turned on by the man. One thing though, his tautness was shown in and out of bed, she didn't know if she hated it or it made her pussy wet... or both.

She grabbed her phone off of the nightstand, picking it up to see the time, it was about ten minutes till six in the morning. "Fuck." she groaned, knowing that they had a radio interview and an interview with one of the political channels. She sat up, yawning as she grabbed the covers, wrapping the white comforter over body before shaking Erik.

"It's time to wake up." she groaned. His snoring stopped but his eyes were still closed, not moving at all as he stayed damn near dead. She rolled her eyes, pushing the covers off his body, almost regretting it as he was experiencing morning wood. She couldn't help but stare at it, almost wanting to touch it but wasn't sure if he would enjoy it.

"If you gonna look at it, you might as well touch it." he groaned as she looked back at him in shock.

"I wasn't-"

"You sure you wanna sit up here and lie?" he asked peaking his eyes open, placing his hands behind his head. She kissed her teeth, trying not to make it noticeable that she was indeed intrigued by his situation downstairs. He sat up against the headboard, as he grabbed her putting him onto his lap she let out a groan, feeling his dick against her thigh.

"Jadaka, we gotta get ready.." she started to moan as he laid kisses on the side of her neck, tracing his back with his hands.

"Mhmm, I know. I can make it quick." he said, reaching between the two and rubbing her clit with his thumb. "Pretty please." he looked up at her, circling his tongue around her exposed nipple.

"Fuuck..." she closed her eyes almost giving in. "No." she jumped off of him as he raised an eyebrow at her. She chuckled angrily at herself as she turned down some more good dick, but she knew what she had to do. "You are soo.." she couldn't even finish her sentence as he smirked at how bad she was struggling. "Ugh. Just get ready." she looked on the ground for some clothes as he smiled at her struggling. Finding a T-Shirt on the ground, she put it on, cursing herself for not having any underwear. Grabbing her things, he grabbed her hand before kissing her on the lips, before he depended the kiss.

"At least lemme get a taste of that pussy before you leave." he whispered at her as she gasped. He raised an eyebrow with a smirk, as she bit her lip.

"Jadaka.." she trailed off as a warning.

"What, you gave me a taste of that sweet pussy and expect me not to want it? You keeping that pretty pussy from me?" he asked her tilting his head, smiling at her. Just like clock worth, she placed her phone on the desk. The throb that she felt in her pussy now, she needed more than just that.

She got back on the bed, sitting on his thighs as she spat on his dick and rubbed it in. "What you about to do?" he asked, intrigued by her actions. She didn't say anything, as she hovered over his dick slowly inserting herself.

"There you go, just take this dick." he moaned as she put her feet flat beside him, grabbing the head board and going to work. If all he had to do was talk nasty to her to make her give up her goodness, this was gonna be one hell of a ride.

With her being turned on by him, and him being damn near a professional freak, they would just be going at it.

The herb didn't help either... for either of them.

"Oooh.." she gasped, feeling him a lot more deeper. "Fuck, I feel you in my stomach." she moaned, gilding along him nice and slowly. She was still sensitive from the night before, as they went at it for hours.

"Freaky ass, all I gotta do is beg your lil nasty ass." he asked her as she nodded. "Answer me." he smacked each of her ass cheeks.

"Fuck yes, Jadaka! Fuck!" She went about in circular motions with her hips as she bounced, Erik looking at her in complete shock.

"There you go. Making daddy feel so fucking good." he smacked her ass again. She fell onto her knees as he laid on his back still into her. She then continued to bounce her ass on his dick, the clapping noises heard in the room as he matched her rhythm.

"Fuck you got some good pussy on you girl." he grunted smacking her ass multiple times. Sure enough, there was going to most definitely be marks on her ass with the way Erik was obsessed with it. She reached behind her as she spread her ass cheeks and pussy as Erik moaned in her ear.

"Yeahhh that's right. Spread that pussy for daddy, damn." he groaned into her ear. If only he could see what they looked like from the back.

It was almost like she read his mind, because she stopped her movements and turned around with his dick still inside. Getting back into position, with her elbows propped between his legs, she started to bounce her again. From the view alone Erik knew he was going to bust. The way her wetness coded his dick, how her pussy tugged every time she would come back up. She spread her ass cheeks for him again as he groaned.

"You like watching my pussy fuck this dick daddy.." she moaned.

"Fuuck you gonna make daddy cum.. keep fucking going." he grunted, fucking back into her.

"Ooh daddy, give me the nut please.." she moaned.

"Fuuck." he pulled out, jerking his dick as his cum spread about her ass. Grunting, she grabbed one of the towels but before she could clean herself up, Erik was standing and had her on the edge of the bed on her.

"Jadaka wait I- oohhh my Godd." she moaned as he slammed inside of her, fucking her at a fast pace. "Daddy...." she moaned out. He grabbed her hair making her look at his dick go inside of her.

"Look how pretty that pussy look taking my dick." he whispered as her eyes started to close. "Aht aht, open those fucking eyes. Lemme look at you when you cum on my dick." he said as she opened her eyes to look at him.

"Sexy fucking ass, you not going no where." he grunted. He let her hair go, as his hands found their way back to her clit. His words mixed with this pace had her squirting all over his torso. He pulled out as her legs started to shake, he picking her up and taking her to the showers.

- - - - - - - - - -

"Welcome Prince Erik and Princess Imani." The radio hose Sean stated as she smiled at him.

"Just Imani and Erik is fine." Imani spoke up with a smile on her face.

"Ooh okay miss humble, we love to see it." his co-host Kaitlyn stated as they chuckled. They were on the Brunch's Club Podcast / Radio, one of the most famous podcasts within the black community. Everyone around the nation was tuning into the Prince and Princess first radio interview, or first interview at all here in America.

"So I just want to ask you Erik, you come from someone like a background like me. Foster kid, on the streets, doing what you have to do to survive. How has this change, damn near everything for you?" Sean asked him.

"I mean really.. it's a like a ghetto fairy tale." he said as everyone laughed. "But nah, really, it's a lot, you know. I grew up not really having anything, and then I built my businesses over the years and let them grow, now I'm here. Honestly, it's a blessing." he stated as Sean nodded.

"And Imani-" he stopped himself looking around. "Gotta make sure ain't no snipers finna blow my head off for not saying Princess." he said making her laugh.

"Nahh, they wouldn't let them in." she said as his face dropped. "I'm joking.." she stated as Kaitlyn laughed.

"Nigga really got scared."

"Y'all ain't see those ladies outside with the spears and shit? Fuck around my head may be just on the end of one. I ain't never been so scared of a bunch of women before except my mother and my wife." he said making the room laugh. "Alright alright, but how does it feel to date someone that never really grew up in this lifestyle?" he asked her.

"Honestly it feels no different with someone like him. I feel like, he already has the spirit of wanting to help people and that's one quality that I want for a king for my nation , and he is a natural leader, so he really didn't have really much to prove." she stated looking at him as he smiled at her.

"Awe y'all are so cute... so how'd did this happen." Kaitlyn asked gushing over the too.

"She ain't like me." "Oh I couldn't stand him."

They both said at the same time as the hosts looked at them in shock. "What! Oh my god!" Kaitlyn exclaimed. "I thought it was gonna be some cute sappy shit like, you tripped and he caught you and it was instant love at first sight. why didn't you like him.. I mean I am curious because-" she looked at Imani with a 'do you not see him' look making her a chuckle. She most

"It's really just he caught me at a bad time. I had just got into an argument with my dad, you know how that goes, there was just some personal stuff so when I met him, like I was already mad. He really just icked a nerve that specific day in the specific hour." she stated looking at him.

"Yeah.. had to fix that real quick." Erik smirked as she rolled her eyes.

"Oop." Kaitlyn said sipping her water looking between the two.

"Aye, y'all let's keep it PG," Sean stated with a chuckle.

"Man not like that." he smacked his teeth then laughed. "She caught herself having a lil attitude and I just.. called her out?" he said in a more question tone.

"Ooh you must've hated that." Sean smirked at.

"Don't remind me." she said flipping her dreads over her shoulder as they laughed. "But really, that was the kinda reality check I needed though, especially because I realized that we were kind of having issues that we could relate to, so I was like you know what? Let me just get to know him and stop being an asshole. It went from that, to this." she responded looking at him smiling.

"So I know back in the States, you've had past relationships with some people, how has that changed now that you are basically a part of one of the richest royal families in the world?" Sean asked Erik as he sighed.

"I have had a lot of people, try to like, hit me up about it. Some congratulating me, don't really know what I'm being congratulated on. " he said honestly. "But I most definitely had a few folks try to play clout chaser." he responded. Imani agreed at the statement, immediately thinking about Arianna.

"Yeah, like Arianna Cope? Her tweets about Imani is just so outta place it's weird." Kaitlyn responded as Imani looked at her confused.

"What tweets?" she asked as the two hosts looked at her confused.

"Girl, she been damn near sub-tweeting you everyday since y'all dropped the receipts about the editing recording." she said pulling out her phone. Imani looked at Erik confused, but he had the same look of confusion.

With how on top of things she was about anything that either had or Erik's name in the press, this was news to her. Then again, it wasn't really the pressed. Kaitlyn handed her the phone, looking at the search bar where Imani's name were to find tweets with it.

"Yeah, some of her supporters were calling you scary and shit because you wouldn't respond." Sean said leaning back in his chair.

"Oh my-" she said looking at all the tweets negatively bashing her. She handed it back, before she laughed. Even some tears escaping.

''What's funny?" Sean asked confused as the burst of laughter.

"No it's sad but it's funny at the same time because she's just arguing with herself." she said as Erik shook his head laughing while covering his face.

"So you don't care that she's talking about you?" Kaitlyn asked. Imani wiped her tears off before saying,

"Look, I don't mean this in a shady or be disrespectful towards her, but in all reality, I have a lot of more important things to worry about then engaging with her issues with me." she spoke.

"Like running an entire country." Erik said drinking out of his water bottle.

"Exactly. To be fair, I have a lot more other people, Important people may I add, that doesn't like me like rulers of other countries because of our political stance and honestly, those are the ones that I care more about if I do care at all." she stated as Sean nodded.

"Aye, that's valid." he stated. "Especially after she tried to set y'all up, the fact that's what she's mad about is instance to me." Sean replied

"And she's the only girl that I've dated who is this obsessed with us speaks more about her then it does us. Obviously, I'm not going to sit here and be lied on, putting what we have and what we are trying to build on the line. Like look at her, you think Ima mess this up?" Erik said looking her up and down with a smirk as she blushed rolling her eyes.

"Aye that's what I'm talking about."

Even though the circumstances weren't clear and through as she spoke, it surprised her honestly how far Erik's and her relationship did. She remembered how she would tell herself that this was just for the sake of her people, realizing that T'Challa was most definitely right.

You could mix pleasure with business.

- - - - - - - - - -

"Alright, last interview." Imani stated sitting at the desk looking at Erik. "Ready?" she asked him. As this was one of the more serious ones, talking about there supply change.

The host, Nathaniel Carter, hosted a republican channel on Fox News. He and his other hosts were very open around the fact that America should be the country to handle the supply chain of Vibranium, and not some random country in Africa.

Colonizers.. am I right?

"Sorry I'm a tad bit late." Nathaniel replied as Imani looked at him and smiled. "It happens to us all, it's nice to finally meet you, Mr. Carter." she said sticking her hand out for him to shake as he shook it.

"Nathaniel will do fine, Princess Imani." he stated

"Well then just Imani will do just fine." she smiled at him. He was caught by surprised by how well spoken she was, even how nice she was too. He then introduced himself to Erik with him shaking his hand.

"First thing first, thank you for your service in our military Stevens." Nathanial stated , emphasizing on the our. Erik nodded with a forced smile. "Quite the entourage you got here." Nathanial looked around to see the Dora Milije posted around the set.

"Don't mind them. Just here four our protection, kind of like the secret service." Erik stated as Nathanial sat across from them.

"We good to go?" he asked the producers as they gave him a thumbs up.

"Welcome back to another political segment where we have the next heir to the Kamado Nation, Miss Imani and Mr. Erik. " he stated as they waved at the camera.

"So I was just doing some basic research on the two of you just so I could get a view point and you two may I say have a very interesting academic record. Miss Imani you graduated top of your class at Oxford University and you Erik graduating at the top of your class at MIT. Yet, you guys are so young." he stated as Erik nodded.

"Well our thrive for education and learning subdue our age so it seems." Imani stated.

"So Erik, your new to this life style right, growing up on the streets of Oakland. What are your plans for when you rule as King?" Nathaniel asked him. Imani didn't let it show that the question was only directed towards him, but Erik being who he was answered,

"Well for us, we have been really focusing on the youth of our country, building more schools and outreach programs to enhance their learning and education." Erik stated.

"Also, we are working on some environmental plans. We have been having conversations with Wakanda's environmental specialist on cutting down CO2 emissions and hopefully help other countries also since we do have the resources." Imani stated.

"Interesting, and how about your military? There has been conversations of you guys have been building your military terrain." he asked Erik but Imani spoke up.

"Our military both navy, air force and army have had an increase that is true. This is pretty normal for our countries when there is a shift of power. Only because there has been times in countries in Africa where there has been a shift of change, European countries tended to try and interfere." she stated as Erik spoke up.

"It's just something that has been affected from the past that still is present in our present and most likely our future." Erik said as Nathaniel looked at Imani. "Our military was made out of around 5,542,000 people when King Z'Kiri the throne back in 1979." he told him.

"By the time I heir the throne, it should be up to almost 8 million. Small yes, but very mighty."

"You seem to know a lot about your countries military's." Nathanial looked at her. "It's not every day we see a princess your age so interested in their military." he finished.

"Well Nathanial, I don't have a choice. We have people that we need to protect and we also have resources that needs protection. So knowing these things are essentially important." she reminded him, he then looked at Erik.

"So how do you feel that the potential queen is handling this type of information. You know, because your the only one that's been in the military between the two." Imani knew it was a jab at her intelligence, but she knew Erik would handle it.

"Honestly, I would rather have that then a queen who doesn't know nothing. A queen who doesn't know nothing and is only there to look pretty can cause more damage. I love that she is passionate about these things, because it's not like America where you have the president, and the first-lady is just there showing appearances every once in a while." Erik stated.

"In countries like ours, Queens are just as important as our Kings." Imani added

"Kings are just the male versions of Queens in Wakanda and Kambaho." Erik finished. She looked at him impressed with that statement.

"So Erik, what makes her qualified to be queen?" he asked him.

"The question really is what makes her not qualified. She has studied the history of ancient and modern war-fare, she is precise and makes every decision planned out to a T, she courageous and very smart. Honestly the true question is what makes me qualified to be King?" he chuckled as she chuckled at the last statement.

"If I can speak-" she said sitting up in her chair. "I feel like, there has been a history of royals across the globe over the past centuries that blind our sights on what is fairytale and what is truth. I know you don't mean it, but I can't help but feel like you don't think I deserve to have this authority because of what I have between my legs or the year I was born but truth be told, none of the latter matters." she stated. Nathanial squinted his eyes at her then back before saying,

"It's just some might say that you are too young to be making decisions like these. For example, the situation with vibranium?"

Bingo.. there it is.

"What about it?" Erik and her said at the same thing.

"Well for starters, vibranium from my own research is the strongest material on Earth, yet two small countries in the middle of Africa is handling. Don't you think it should be trusted with a country that has a high military performance versus that?" he asked as she shrugged.

"I mean, you answered your question. Vibranium should not be used as a weapon but it should be used for growth. Yet, we know that if vibranium makes their way into America, it would be used as such. Just like any other resource." Imani stated as Nathaniel scoffed.

"Are those spears that your guards are holding not made out of vibranium. Looks pretty deadly to me."

"Yeah well you don't really see Wakandians going around using weapons against other nations, because they won't share their resources." Erik said matter of factly.

"Look. the country of Kambaho is willing to use our resources to help countries in need. No matter the cost. But- the fact of the matter is is that we are not willing to give our most prized resource to anyone." Imani stated.

"Well also, vibranium can also be used because of it's healing properties. What you're saying is that you wouldn't give countries the chance of receiving proper health care because of the fear of violence?" he asked, Imani laughed.

"That's rich coming from America, don't you think?" she asked tilting her head. "If you care so much about the 'health' of your citizens, why charge $800 USD for insulin, something that could potentially save their life. Why are parents making go-fund me's for their child to get a tumor removed. Why is a simple ride to the hospital almost $1000 dollars? Why is it a woman have to pay $50000 dollars just to give life here?" she asked.

"Companies too have to profit to-"

"Profits when it comes to the care of our citizens don't exist. Our citizens do not have to worry about the cost of healthcare because health care is provided." Imani stated, Nathaniel quiet trying to come back with a retaliation point. He almost did, but Erik stole the words out of his mouth.

"Now it's easy for a country like us to provide care for our citizens due to the size and the resources that we do have. But in actuality, if America is the strongest country in the world, shouldn't the strongest country in the world be able to provide for their citizens?" he asked. Nathaniel knew he was loosing this debate, so he decided to take another jab but instead of at Imani, it was at Erik.

"That say a lot from someone who use to fight for our military in the black ops unit. Some might call you a trader to this country." he spat out, Erik chuckled.

"Listen, when you are a young black man in America, coming out of foster care with nothing to your name there is a possibility that your life will end up in prison or dead. Joining the military was a last result so I didn't end up either. As a black op solider who has seen some.. very traumatic things to trust and believe. I'd be a fool to decide to give the deadliest weapons to America."

- - - - - - - - - -

Just like clock work, Imani sat in the living quarters of the suit reading the results from their interview with Sean and Kaitlyn.

"Princess Imani and Prince Erik seems to be our next power couple. Literally putting the power in the statement, the two of them will become rulers of one of the most powerful countries the world has ever faced. So, you guys what are our opinions on them." she was watching one of the drama channels on one of the networks here in America.

"Honestly, I think they are so adorable. I will be honest though, they didn't really give me much royalty vibes, and that's not anything bad. They were relatable and I feel like a lot of politicians and people of higher power lack that." One of the hosts Sabrina said.

"I don't know, personally I feel like they are trying too hard to be relatable. Like I can understand Erik since he didn't come from that lifestyle, but for Imani, it seems forced you know?" Tyler stated. "But she is most definitely a cutie."

"You know what, that's understandable. But I think it's more of her being humble because we really aren't use to celebrities', especially royalty being as humble as her. " Sabrina stated as he nodded.

"She's most def humble. But can we talk about about she ate Nathanial Carter up?" Tyler laughed as Sabrina joined in. "Sis came with receipts, stats, and was very out spoken. My sis was not playing around." he snapped his fingers.

"Talking about that, she has most gotten a lot of heat from republican senators, and really just the republican party." Sabrina stated.

"Duh, of course. She spoke facts. To be honest, let's say they are willing to give America vibranium for its healing properties, we charge an arm and a leg just for the basic medication. The hell do you think they gonna do with vibranium?"

"Man turn this off." Erik stated turned off the T.V as she glared at him. "I was watching that." she said to him as she rolled her eyes.

"Stop worrying about what everybody else gotta say to us. We did good." he comforted her. She nodded before sighing. "Our last night in America... what you wanna do?" he asked her.

"Honestly, all this running around, I just want to stay in." she replied, he smirked at her.

"Of course. I can make you some dinner." he kissed her neck as she closed her eyes falling into the feeling. "Give you a massage." he gave her another kiss at the bottom of the ear. "Maybe even eat-"

"Okay N'Jadka!" she exclaimed pushing him. "Goodness gracious." she blushed as he smirked at her. The switch from how dominant she is in real life versus how submissive she is in private. He most definitely was taking advantage of this.

"I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are evil." - J.R.R Tolkien

A/N: This chapter is not betaed at all…not even a little bit. I didn't want to keep you waiting…so, I hope you enjoy. Even though I'm sure it has stupid mistakes in it. Please forgive my dyslexic ass! The song, 'Brown Eyes' is a song that I wrote myself for my own children.

previous | next

It’s late at night and everyone is asleep. Well, almost everyone. Imani is tucked away in her bed, a sunflower night light casting a warm and soft glow while she slumbers peacefully. Hoseok is curled into Namjoon’s side with his head buried in his chest. Taehyung is halfway on top of Jimin’s back, drool collecting between his shoulder’s blades. Seokjin is alone in his room, blackness surrounding him as he sleeps with his RJ sleeping mask.

Jungkook is in his bed, snoring softly and beside him, Yoongi sits upright, wide awake. The brightness on his phone has been turned down and the volume has been lowered as well. He is no longer in pain from his monthly pumping and Jungkook’s smokey firewood scent called to Yoongi’s tired bones.

Yoongi wanted the warmth that poured from Jungkook’s body and he easily found himself in bed with the younger pack mate. Jungkook was more than pleased to have Yoongi sleep with him and with more than a few shared kisses, Jungkook fell asleep with Yoongi playing in his hair. Now, Yoongi scrolls through his phone, trying to find the song that Imani sang to him. The lyrics are simple enough but Yoongi still struggles to find the song that they belong to. He sighs and throws his head back. His skull hits the headboard and Jungkook cracks an eye open.

“Yoongi?” Jungkook yawns and Yoongi glances down at him with a small pout on his lips.

“Sorry, Kookie. Did I wake you?”

Jungkook shakes his head and rubs at his eyes as another yawn falls from his lips. He scoots closer to Yoongi and rests his head on the snake hybrid’s stomach as he peers up at the phone.

“What are you doing up? Don’t you have a meeting tomorrow?”

Yoongi sighs and nods his head, his eyes slipping closed as Jungkook starts to massage his left thigh mindlessly. It’s kitten-like in nature, a soft kneading motion that soothes Yoongi’s tired body.

“Do you want to talk about it?”

Yoongi drops his head and stares down at Jungkook silently. His eyes are blinking slowly, each flutter of his lid coming slower and slower. Yoongi can feel his breath against his stomach, warm and gentle as it pushes against his t-shirt. Yoongi places a hand on Jungkook’s head and starts to sing the same song that Imani sang to him.

Hey brown eyes

Why you crying?

Hey brown eyes

The moon is shining

Hey brown eyes

Everything’s gonna be alright

He keeps his voice soft as it rumbles in his chest and vibrates against Jungkook’s cheek and temple.

Hey brown eyes

Why you crying?

Hey brown eyes

I’m always gonna be here

Hey brown eyes

Everything’s gonna be alright

Yoongi and Jungkook yawn at the same time. He struggles to continue as his eyes start to feel heavy. Yoongi carefully sets his phone on the nightstand and shimmies down in the bed. Jungkook’s head is now resting on his chest, his ears tickling Yoongi’s chin.

Hey brown eyes

The moon is shining

Hey brown eyes

It’s time to say goodnight

Hey brown eyes

Everything’s gonna be alright

Jungkook’s soft snores fill the air as silence covers the room. Yoongi’s eyes blink one more time before he gives into the weight of sleep. The lullaby echoes in his mind and soon he starts to snore as well.

Jungkook sits with Imani at the kitchen counter with a bowl of egg fried rice. There are a few sides in front of them and Jungkook makes sure to help Imani if she cannot reach something. Jungkook smiles as Imani tells him all about the dream she had last night. Something about a duck princess and Bluey. It’s a lot to take in and honestly, Jungkook can only understand so much before he is lost. Imani finishes her story with a giggle and Jungkook’s nose scrunches as he laughs too.

“Sounds like you had one crazy dream, huh?”

“Yesh! So, crawzy, Kookie!”

Jungkook can’t help but smile as the little girl shoves a spoon full of rice into her mouth. Her cheek bulges out and she mutters to herself as she struggles to grab a slice of beef with chopsticks. She did not want to use the child-friendly chopsticks today. There is a bright pink bonnet on her head and her ears poke out of the holes. It doesn’t match her blush colored pajamas that have sunny side up eggs all over the pants with one single egg on the top that says ‘I’m so eggshausted’ on the front in silly cursive.

“Imani?” Jungkook calls her softly and she turns her wide eyes to him. “Can I ask you a question?”

“Yesh.”

Jungkook grins and scratches behind her left ear as he quickly takes a sip of his orange juice.

“Yoongi sang me a lullaby last night and I loved it. Do you know what it’s called?” Jungkook starts to sing the parts of the lullaby that Yoongi sang to him last night and sunflowers bloom in Jungkook’s mind. The scent is so potent that Jungkook is sure even Taehyung could smell it if he walked into the room right now.

“Brown eyes!” Imani grins as she sets her spoon down. “You-You-You wike it?”

“Yes,” Jungkook giggles as Imani’s whole body seems to vibrate in her seat. It’s the first time he has heard her stutter from excitement. “Do you know it?”

“Mommy’s song!” Jungkook’s eyes widen at the sudden information and Imani jumps down from her seat. She tugs on Jungkook’s hand with a large smile on her face. “Come, Kookie!”

Jungkook whines about leaving the food out, but how can he say no to Imani when she is looking at him with such large brown eyes? Pulling his hand free, he quickly cleans up before following Imani down the hall to her bedroom.

“Sit, pwease.”

Imani pushes Jungkook over towards the corner of her room where all her stuffed animals are and Jungkook sits on the floor, crossing his legs. He tugs his grey oversized t-shirt out from under his tail and wiggles around as he fixes the waistband of his cream linen sleep pants. He watches as Imani goes into her closet and comes out with a Nike shoe box in her hands.

“What you got there?” Jungkook wonders as Imani sits down in his lap with the box resting on her legs.

“Mommy sleep for-forewer and I gots this,” Imani explains and Jungkook’s eyes widen for the second time that morning at Imani’s words. Sleep forever? So, Imani knows that her mother is dead or at least understands that she cannot see her anymore. Jungkook inhales through his nose silently and the scent of sunflowers is still strong.

Imani lifts the lid from the box and Jungkook peeks over her head. The box is filled with polaroids, little trinkets and what looks to be an old school walk-man. As Imani pulls the walk-man out the box, Jungkook sees a small stack of albums underneath and his curiosity is quipped. What will Imani share with him?

Imani unwraps the headphones and hands one of the ear buds to Jungkook. He happily takes the bud and places it in his ear, helping Imani do the same to herself with the other one. Imani snuggles into Jungkook’s lap, her tail wrapping around his wrist as she presses the teal blue play button. A saxophone plays followed by a piano and flute and then a drum comes in a little later.

Hey brown eyes

Why you crying?

Hey brown eyes

The moon is shining

Hey brown eyes

Everything’s gonna be alright

The smooth voice of a woman sings, her tone is a beautiful soprano that makes goosebumps appear on Jungkook’s arms. Imani’s ears flick around on her head as the woman sings and it dawns on Jungkook that he is listening to Imani’s mother. Tears well in his eyes and he wraps his arms carefully around Imani’s middle. The lullaby that Imani sang to Yoongi is the lullaby that her mother sang to her most likely every night.

Jungkook’s heart pounds strongly in his chest, the thick emotion starting to seep out of his skin and mangle with his scent. Imani’s nose twitches as firewood shifts to a damp forest fire and she cranes her head back to check on Jungkook.

A single tear splashes on Imani’s forehead and she yelps in surprise. Her eyes squint at the sight of Jungkook crying and she pushes the shoebox in her lap onto the floor.

“What wrong, Kookie?” Imani spins around in his lap and grabs his face between her tiny hands. “No wike Mommy’s song?” Imani’s own eyes start to water and before Jungkook can correct her she starts to cry.

Loud, heartbreaking sobs as she pushes away from Jungkook and rips the earbud from his ear. Clinging to the walk-man, Imani runs out of the room and Jungkook curses.

“Imani! Imani, wait!” Jungkook shouts after her as he scrambles to his feet and trips over one of the stuffed animals.

Imani wails. Her cries echo through the air and catch Taehyung’s attention as he walks out of the bathroom from the floor below. His brows pull together and his heart pinches painfully in his chest as he thinks the worst.

“Imani?!” Taehyung calls her name and rushes to the steps, taking two at a time. Imani crashes into his legs just as he steps onto the floor and he drops to his knees. “Hey, hey. What’s wrong, my heart?” Taehyung hugs the little girl to his chest and rubs a hand up and down her back. Today it’s just himself and Jungkook at home. Hoseok is taking care of the salon and Seokjin is at the store while everyone else is at work.

Taehyung hears Jungkook’s loud stomps as he barrels into the main room. His eyes are pink, his nose is red and he looks guilty. Taehyung eyes the kangaroo hybrid and carefully lifts Imani off the ground, holding her tightly in his arms as she cries.

“What happened, pup, huh? What did that mean Kangaroo do?”

Jungkook’s jaw drops, “Hyung-”

Taehyung shoots him a look as Jungkook tries to speak. “I asked Imani, not you.”

Imani buries her face into the crook of Taehyung’s neck and presses her body closer into his chest, trying to crawl into his soul. Taehyung grunts at the feeling of something hard digging into his ribs and when he shifts to move Imani more to his left side, he sees a walk-man in her hands.

“What’s this, pup?” Taehyung carefully reaches out to touch the walk-man and Imani pulls it away, tucking it against her stomach. Taehyung frowns and glances at Jungkook, who’s bottom lip is trembling as he tries not to cry. “What’s going on?” Taehyung takes pity on his packmate and Jungkook wipes his face as he sniffles.

“Imani?” Jungkook calls softly and Imani ignores him. “Pup, it is a really pretty song. It made Kookie cry because it was so beautiful.”

“No like Mommy’s song!” Imani cries and Jungkook shakes his head, falling to his knees. He crawls over to Taehyung and places a hand on Imani’s back.

“No, Imani, baby. Please listen to Kookie.” Jungkook begs and Taehyung rests a hand over top of Jungkook’s. “Your Mommy’s voice made Kookie cry. That’s all, pup. I promise, I really liked the song.”

Taehyung eyes the walk-man and kisses the top of Imani’s head before he slowly stands with Imani in his arms.

“Imani, I think Kookie is telling the truth. He likes your Mommy’s song,” Taehyung explains softly as he pats Imani’s back to try and get her to forgive Jungkook.

“Weally?” Imani peaks over at Jungkook as he stands up and Jungkook quickly nods his head.

“Really, Imani. I loved it. Can Tae hear it too?”

Imani’s eyes seem to brighten at the idea of sharing her Mommy’s song with someone else and she carefully holds one of the ear buds up for Taehyung to take. He takes the small bud and places it in his ear, his heart skipping a beat when he hears a woman’s voice singing. He closes his eyes and melts into the song. He is sure that it isn’t the song that Imani and Jungkook were listening to, but he likes it nonetheless.

“It’s beautiful, my heart. Thank you for sharing this with me.” Taehyung hugs Imani tighter and she nuzzles her nose into his throat, scenting him as she chirps happily. Taehyung looks over at Jungkook and bites back a smile.

“Pup, can Kookie listen again?” Taehyung whispers loudly and Imani glances over at Jungkook who stares at her with wide eyes.

Imani giggles as Jungkook claps his hands together and starts rubbing them, “Please, pup? Pretty, please?”

Namjoon sits in on a meeting with the HR manager and a handful of other members of the board. There is a big time client coming to the company next week and everyone is to be on their best behavior. As one of the top translators, Namjoon is expected to be present, participate and be one of the main faces. From what he understands, the client is from the United States and is a well known singer. As of right now, the client’s identity is unknown and will only be shared with Namjoon and four other translators. He will have a private meeting with his boss and the HR manager later on in the week.

As the meeting comes to a close, Namjoon bows and waits for the managers to leave before he gathers his notepad and stands from his seat. He needs to call Seokjin and Yoongi right away, to make sure that this upcoming week is free as well as figure out when they planned to share Imani’s adoption announcement with their families. Once he is back in his own office, Namjoon pulls his phone from his pocket and stands before the windows, looking out at the building below as he rings for Yoongi. The snake hybrid answers on the third ring and once Namjoon explains the situation, they pull Seokjin onto the call as a three way.

“If you’re taking the lead on this Joon-ah, there isn’t much we can do,” Seokjin sighs and Yoongi hums in agreement.

“You have been working your ass off and it looks like your time has come to show off a little bit,” Yoongi muses. “Don’t worry about us, okay? Taehyung told me that Seojoon sent over the photos this afternoon, so he and Jimin will work on the announcement cards.”

“The adoption certificate still hasn’t come in the mail,” Seokjin reminds his two mates.

“We don’t need the certificate to tell everyone, Seokjin.” Namjoon rests an arm against the window in front of him and sighs. “I’m worried about Imani.”

“We have enough things with your scent on it, Namjoon. The pup will be fine-”

“Yoongi’s right, Joonie,” Seokjin cuts as he laughs softly. “Imani and you will still see each other before her bedtime. You always come home no later than eight.”

“Are you sure it will be okay?” Namjoon chews at his lower lip and the two hybrids on the phone can hear the fear in his voice.

“How about we go out to dinner tonight?” Seokjin offers. “Take Imani out for a nice dessert afterwards, maybe go for a walk by the riverfront?”

“Why don’t you call and make a reservation, Namjoon? Somewhere you think Imani would like.” Yoongi gently orders and Namjoon hums in agreement.

“Yeah, okay…that would be nice.”

A knock comes from the other side of Namjoon’s office door and he sighs.

“I have to go. I’ll text the group chat with the information for tonight,” Namjoon quickly explains and he smiles to himself. “I love you.”

“Love you, too.” Seokjin echoes and Yoongi grunts, making Namjoon laugh before he hangs up.

Jimin walks through the front door and easily shifts the sunglasses from his face to rest on top of his head. Four large shopping bags hang from his arms and he hums to himself as he removes his shoes quickly, before he struts over to the lift. He hits the small button to open the doors before he steps inside and presses the number three. The doors close and Jimin cannot ignore the butterflies in his stomach.

He really wishes he was a hybrid because he would love to know how Imani smells once he shares with her what’s in the bags. Namjoon texted the group chat and informed everyone that they were having a special family night; Jimin was excited. He pulled up his chat with Taehyung and the two of them plotted together…like always.

The sound of the lift moving catches Imani’s attention from her spot in the nest with Jungkook. She is coloring and listening to music that plays loudly from the sound system. Her ears twitch and she inhales deeply, her tail curling as she picks up the scent of cinnamon and coconut. Crawling to the edge of the nest, Imani catches Jungkook’s attention as he looks up from his own coloring book. He sees the way that Imani’s little body trembles with excitement and he smiles, endeared by how easy it is to read her body language. The doors to the lift open and Jimin steps out with the bags still hanging from his arms.

“You home!” Imani’s shouts as she scrambles out of the nest and Jimin has just enough time to drop the shopping bags before Imani catapults herself into his arms. Jimin catches her with a soft oof and wraps his arms tightly around her little body.

“Hello, babygirl! I missed you so much today!” Jimin sprinkles kisses all over Imani’s face making her giggle and shriek as she surrenders to the love attack. Imani’s tail wraps around one of Jimin’s wrists, beside his bracelet and Jimin grins as he slides Imani onto his hip. In his arms, Jimin takes in Imani’s outfit and smiles. She looks adorable in her pink two toned sweatsuit with a neon yellow tank top underneath.

Pink socks with white clouds covering her feet complete the outfit and Jimin nuzzles their noses together. Her hair is styled into six neatly parted squares with three hanging twists on either side of her head and two large puffs slightly off center in the back of her ears that sit on top of the head.

“Did you have a good day with Kookie and TaeTae?”

Imani’s eyes sparkle as she starts to tell Jimin all about her day, her words never ending. Jungkook removes himself from the nest and grabs the bags from the floor, kissing Jimin’s cheek in greeting while Imani continues to talk. Jimin walks over to the kitchenette and sits on one of the barstools while Jungkook sets the bags down.

“Drink?” Jungkook whispers and Jimin nods his head with a thankful smile. Jungkook grabs a bottle of water from the fridge and opens it before he hands it to Jimin. “Imani?”

Imani looks over at Jungkook who is holding a juice box with a smile on his lips. Sunflowers, tall and strong, potent and fresh fill the air as Imani takes the juice box and starts to sip from it.

“Sounds like it was a very fun day,” Jimin chuckles as he takes a sip of his water. “I’m a little jealous.”

“You haven’t even heard the best part,” Jungkook teases and Jimin raises an eyebrow. “We’ll share it once everyone comes home.”

“Keeping secrets, are we?” Jimin pouts and cuddles into Imani, rubbing his nose against her jaw. “I have something for you, pup.”

“Jimin!” Jungkook slaps his arm with a laugh and Jimin shoots him a playful glare. “No bribing the baby!”

“Who’s bribing a baby?” Taehyung comes from the hall pushing his hair out of his face. He spots Jimin and licks his lips as he stares at those strong thighs.

Jimin’s face flushes under Taehyung’s heated stare and Jungkook’s nose crinkles as he laughs.

“Jimin wants to know the secret of the day and is trying to bribe Imani.”

“Now, now,” Taehyung takes easy steps towards the kitchenette and stands beside Jimin, placing a hand on the back of his neck. “Don’t spoil the surprise, Minie. Might have to spank you for being a bad boy.”

“Taehyung!” Jungkook and Jimin both scold him as they look down at Imani who is happily in her own little world, playing with the bracelet on Jimin’s wrist.

Taehyung chuckles deep and teasing as he gives Jimin’s neck a light squeeze before pecking his temple and scratching behind Imani’s ear with his free hand.

“I’ll remember this for later,” Taehyung warns as he leans against the island. “Now, let me see what you got.”

Jimin shifts Imani in his lap, allowing for Taehyung to pluck the little girl into his arms and hold her close. Imani lays her head on Taehyung’s shoulder and tucks her arms in between their bodies as she watches Jungkook push the bags closer to Jimin. Jimin grabs the bag that is for Imani and clears his throat.

“Imani, this is for you. Tell me if you don’t like anything, okay?” Jimin smiles softly as her large brown eyes focus on the bag. Jimin reaches into the bag, pulling out a medium sized stuffed axolotl, a little over a foot long. It’s a soft pink with deeper pink ears and toe beans. Imani’s eyes widen and she chirps happily, her arms pulling away from Taehyung’s body and reaching for her new fluffy friend.

Jungkook’s nose twitches as fresh cut sunflowers flood his senses and he can’t fight the smile from stretching his lips.

“She’s extremely happy with your choice, Jimin.” Jungkook informs his lover and Jimin’s eyes crinkle at the news.

“It mine? Weally?” Imani asks as she hugs the stuffy close to her, its pink form smashing against her and Taehyung’s chest.

“All yours baby,” Jimin assures and taps the bag. “That’s not all. I got you something else too!”

“More stuff?”

At the sound of utter amazement in Imani’s voice, the three men feel their hearts melt and they fall even more in love with the little girl. Jimin nods his head and reaches back into the bag. This time he pulls out an outfit and Imani watches as Jimin holds out the pieces, one by one. A white ruffle blouse with large sunflowers on it is shown first. It has quarter length sleeves, and two straps that hold it from falling off Imani’s shoulders. A light wash denim skirt is next, it’s asymmetrical with subtle rips on the left hand side and frayed at the bottom. A thin brown belt with a little tiny four by four pouch is placed through the belt loops.

“Pwetty!”

Imani snuggles into her stuffy happily as Jimin shows off the new outfit that she will unknowingly wear tonight for their dinner. He reaches into the bag once more and pulls out cute brown leather sandals that match the belt along with a small black velvet box. Setting the shoes back in the bag, Jimin carefully opens the box and inside sits a tiny pearl bracelet with a single golden sunflower charm hanging from it.

“Oh!”

“Wow!”

Taehyung and Jungkook both stare at the bracelet in awe while Imani nearly vibrates out of Taehyung’s arms. Jimin is quick to catch her as she throws herself at him and he kisses the top of her head.

“Do you like it?” Jimin asks while laughing and Imani nods her head happily.

“Mommy is peawl!”

Jimin’s eyes grow twice their size hearing Imani openly talk about her mother and he chances a glance at Taehyung to see that his lover doesn’t look surprised, only proud. Jimin looks over at Jungkook and the kangaroo hybrid is smiling wide, showing off his bunny-like teeth.

“Your Mommy’s birthday is in June, huh?” Jungkook asks and Imani shrugs her shoulders.

“Do you know your birthday?” Taehyung changes the topic smoothly and Jimin releases a breath that he didn’t realize he was holding.

“No,” Imani answers as she touches the bracelet and Jimin chuckles.

“That’s okay, pup.”

Before anything more can be said, Imani climbs down from Jimin’s lap with her stuffy in her arms and waddles towards the nest. She crawls into it and places her new friend in the corner before she grabs her coloring book and sits beside the stuffy. Jimin opens his mouth to comment but the beat of the song playing makes him pause. It’s familiar and pulls at a memory in the back of his mind as a piano plays. A woman’s voice starts to sing and Jimin panics. He knows this song and it makes his heart start to beat rapidly in his chest.

Peppery spice with a hint of spoiled milk creeps into Jungkook’s nose and he frowns. His eyes fall to Jimin and he steps around the island, standing on the other side of him.

“Hey, it’s okay,” Jungkook whispers, knowing why Jimin’s mood suddenly shifted.

“W-We have to change the song,” Jimin tries to stand up but Taehyung and Jungkook hold him down. “S-She hasn’t heard it-”

“Jimin, relax!” Taehyung’s deep voice is firm and soothing while Jungkook’s large hands smooth up and down his back.

“Just watch,” Jungkook begs softly and Jimin’s eyes snap over to Imani in the nest.

The little girl sings along to the song that is playing quietly, holding a crayon in her hand like it’s a mic. She holds the crayon up to the axolotl and lets the stuffy sing along with a smile on her lips and eyes shining brightly. Jimin's breath catches in his throat as he watches Imani and his eyes start to burn.

He vividly remembers the way Imani broke down in the car when she heard a song that her mother had sung playing on the radio. His heart doesn’t know if it wants to break or stop beating all together at this new side of Imani.

“Oh, baby. Don’t cry, Minie.” Taehyung wipes at Jimin’s fallen tears and Jungkook tightens his arms around Jimin’s waist. Jimin’s bottom lip trembles and he quickly bites it with a shake of his head.

“Not crying…shut up.” Jimin sniffles and pushes Jungkook away from him as he and Taehyung both laugh.

Laughter fills the air from down stairs and footsteps track up the steps. Hoseok and Seokjin both appear with smiles on their faces. Seokjin’s ears twitch on his head as he smells Jimin’s burnt and sour scent that is lingering.

“What happened?” Seokjin prompts as he looks around. Imani is in the nest, babbling happily to Hoseok who has joined her. Taehyung, Jungkook and Jimin are sitting at the island and it’s only Jimin who has pink, teary eyes. Seokjin raises an eyebrow and Jimin shakes his head, offering Seokjin a small smile.

“I’m fine, hyung. Just happy, that’s all.”

“Jinnie!” Imani’s voice is sugar sweet as she chirps his name, her little arms held high in the air as she stands at the edge of the nest. Seokjin grins, his whole face lighting up as he goes over and scoops the little pup into his arms. “Missed you, Jinnie.” Imani smashes her face into his neck and scents him silently, her tail curling around his wrist.

“My cria, I missed you too.” Seokjin pecks Imani’s temple and rocks her from side to side as he settles himself in the nest beside Hoseok.

“What are we listening to? It’s really pretty,” Hoseok comments as he pokes at Imani’s side, making her giggle.

“It’s Mommy!” Imani beams and Hoseok’s smile falls while Seokjin chokes on air. Imani frowns as she starts to pat Seokjin’s chest and Hoseok chuckles.

“This is…” Seokjin looks to the trio by the island and back to Imani. “This is your Mommy singing?”

Jungkook takes pity on the guys and speaks up. “Yoongi had a song stuck in his head that Imani had shared with him. I asked her about it earlier today and she shared a secret with me.” Jungkook winks at Imani who grins, showing her little teeth. “Can I tell them our secret?” Jungkook asks and Imani nods her head, her little fingers playing with Seokjin’s curly hair.

“Imani was given some of her Mommy’s things and she keeps it all in a box. There are four albums along with a walk-man. We’ve spent most of the day listening to the songs.” Jungkook explains and Seokjin feels all the tension wash out of his body in a single breath.

Imani is willingly sharing information about her mother and that takes some worry from Seokjin’s mind. He knows that his sweet pup still needs to see a professional to make sure there is no long term damage from her neglect but this is a natural start to her healing. Seokjin hugs Imani a little tighter and closes his eyes.

He takes in the melody and rich tone of Lisa Jackson, Imani’s biological mother. Silently, Seokjin mummers a prayer of thanks in his mind. He thanks Lisa for giving birth to Imani. He thanks her and promises that he will love and care for Imani in her place and always remind Imani how much Lisa loved her.

Jungkook, Jimin and Taehyung all come into the nest and settle around Imani and Seokjin. They grab coloring books and Imani giggles as she wiggles out of Seokjin’s hold. Crawling over to her new stuffie, Imani flops down on her stomach and goes back to coloring with her family.

Yoongi smooths a hand down the front of his navy and white pinstripe button up. He fixes the black belt around his waist, tugging the buckle until it is centered above his zipper. A knock at his bedroom door, echos in the room and Yoongi calls out for whoever to enter. The door opens and little feet slap against the hardwood.

“Yoonie!”

Imani’s tiny body crashes into his lower legs and he smiles down at the little girl. Bending down, Yoongi picks her up into his arms, resting her against his right hip. Imani giggles as Yoongi nuzzles his nose into her cheek and they look into the mirror together. Imani grins, her teeth on full display while Yoongi shares that gummy smile. His eyes glow a faint yellow and Imani’s brown, reflect the brightness that she carries within.

“You weady?” Imani asks as she wraps her arms around Yoongi’s neck. Her cheek rests against his shoulder and Yoongi nods his head as the tip of her nose touches the collar of his shirt.

“What do you think? Do I look okay?”

Imani stares into the mirror and reaches up to push a stray hair out of Yoongi’s eye.

“Very nice!” Imani giggles and Yoongi can’t help the way his face heats up.

He kisses Imani’s cheek and hikes her higher up on his hip. “Come on, pup. Let’s go!”

Yoongi stops by his shoe rack and grabs a pair of black loafers before he leaves his room. Walking down the steps, Yoongi notices that everyone must already be waiting at the main door and he rolls his eyes. When there is food involved his pack exceeds any speed limits. Taking his time going down the rest of the steps, Yoongi hisses softly as Imani starts to fuss in his arms.

“Are you hungry?”

Imani’s stomach rumbles and Yoongi chuckles, as he gives her a little squeeze.

“Okay, we’ll get food soon.”

Seokjin’s ears shift in the direction of the steps and his heart melts when he sees Imani in Yoongi’s arms. The brightness of Imani’s shirt against the navy of Yoongi’s shirt fits their personalities perfectly and Seokjin’s smiles softly.

“Come on, they are waiting on us.”

Seokjin takes Imani from Yoongi’s arms and squats down to help her with her shoes. Imani pushes his hands away and sits on his knees, pulling one foot up at a time to fasten her sandals. Yoongi sets his own shoes down and shoves his feet into them before he offers his hand to Seokjin. Making sure Imani is ready, Seokjin takes Yoongi’s hand and stands to his full height. Yoongi’s thumb brushes over Seokjin’s knuckles and they share a smile while Imani hugs their legs.

“We go eat?” Imani chirps and Seokjin nods his head.

“Let’s go, pup.”

The trio leave the house and Yoongi pulls the door shut behind them before he locks the door. He follows after Seokjin, who walks over to one of the cars and notices that Jimin is in the driver seat. Namjoon is in the back seat and Hoseok is in the other car with the younger mates. Yoongi takes the passenger seat next to Jimin and watches from the rearview mirror as Seokjin buckles Imani into her car seat.

“Be a good girl, okay? Jinnie is gonna be in the car behind you.” Seokjin presses a kiss to each of Imani’s cheeks and scratches behind her ear. Imani giggles and waves happily at Seokjin as he closes the door. Jimin starts the car and when Jungkook honks at him, he pulls off; leading the way to the restaurant that Namjoon picked.

“Imani?” Jimin calls her name softly and glances in the mirror to see that he has her attention. “I have a surprise for you!” Taking one hand off the wheel, Jimin fiddles with the radio and soon a piano spills from the speakers.

Imani claps her hands and kicks her little feet as she whips her head to the side to stare at Namjoon with wide eyes.

“Mommy!”

Namjoon’s jaw clenches and his eyes widen in panic. Yoongi reaches out to turn the music off but Jimin slaps his hand away.

Once there was a way

To get back homeward

Once there was a way

To get back home

Sleep, pretty darling

Do not cry

And I will sing a lullaby

A powerful voice, sweet, smooth and toe curling sings. The hair on Yoongi and Namjoon’s arms raise as they listen to Lisa Jackson, Imani’s mother, sing a cover of ‘Golden Slumbers’ by The Beatles. Yoongi was not expecting Lisa to be a soprano and if he listens hard enough he is sure that she is a mezzo-soprano.

Namjoon’s whole body relaxes in his seat as he lets Lisa’s voice wash over him in a soothing melody. He hears Imani as she sings along and he fists the fabric of his black dress pants. Her voice is so soft and light. A mummer really as Lisa’s voice fills the car. Namjoon feels a set of eyes and when he looks up, Yoongi is looking right at him.

When their eyes lock, Yoongi shifts his gaze to Imani and Namjoon smiles. He knows exactly how Yoongi is feeling. His own heart feels warm, warmer than it has ever felt and Namjoon knows for a fact that this is a moment he will cry about later in his room.

Golden slumbers fill your eyes

Smiles awake when you rise

Sleep, pretty darling

Do not cry

And I will sing a lullaby

Do you use lahiri? Neither SZA nor Grimes have shatabhisha moon 🌙

Grimes does not have a verified birth time (the one on astrotheme is C listed) that means she could be either Shatabhisha or Purvabhadrapada Moon and she comes across as a Rahuvian to me ngl

This was the birth chart I found of SZA online 😬😬

WE ARE UNSUPER / the leaders

picrew credit

i've been meaning to introduce the leaders of unsuper properly but have never gotten around to it since there's so many and i am #lazy. here we are though! i'll introduce each leader and their location along with their advisors in the least spoilery way i can. continued under the cut cause it's pretty long!

LEADER OF UNSUPER - KAE MULLER - ABILITY: BLOODBATH

kae is the current leader and one of the founders of unsuper. because of how large the group has become, most leaders generally make their own decisions. however, when it comes to larger operations that are extremely risky— such as prison break-outs—they have to be approved by her. kae is currently in astiana due to unsuper having the most struggles there. kae is extremely well-respected around the world by superhumans, and disliked by everyone else.

ADVISED BY: VIENNA THOMPSON-MULLER, TEDDY, NADZIA, [REDACTED], [REDACTED]

MOON [REDACTED] - LED BY [REDACTED] - ABILITY: TRAVELLER

she's from the moon prisons. that's all i can really say.

ADVISED BY: [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED]

THE [REDACTED] - LED BY [REDACTED] - ABILITY: SKINSTEAL

not sure how to explain this one, but he does have to do with the grounders.

ADVISED BY: [REDACTED]

UNION CITY - LED BY ELIJAH REY - ABILITY: CONTROLLER

elijah is one of the founders of unsuper, and was officially appointed the leader of union city when he was 19 (2741). elijah has been trying to take kae's place in unsuper for years after having the most successful streak of missions and having the majority of unsuper already in union. he believes he can lead better, but many fear elijah is too violent and will destroy unsuper.

ADVISED BY: XANDER REY, KENNA CARIDEO

ASTIANA CITY - LED BY SHIVANI - ABILITY: FLYER

shivani is the newest leader of astiana in their rotating door of leaders. astiana has been struggling with a lack of construction superhumans due to the flood plague striking the city, leading to many floors and sectors collapsing to the ground. unsuper's numbers have been dwindling, and their focus is on evacuating as many as they can back to union.

ADVISED BY: NO ONE

UNDER ISLANDS - LED BY ANDRES KRUUS - ABILITY: WINDMILL

andres is another founder of unsuper, who left union after the assassination of savior romano in 2738. andres fled to the independent under cities where superhumans have more control due to the scattered islands rather than floating cities, along with smaller numbers. andres' focus is on building a city where superhumans can live freely and everyone works to keep the place running.

ADVISED BY: DAVI AGUILAR

DRY SUN CITIES - LED BY ZAHAVI - ABILITY: LUNG STEALER

zahavi is the leader of the dry sun cities, who founded his own superhuman rebel group during the first outbreak of the flood plague. the dsc had only recently began building their cities and was still very small and cramped. they had the largest amount of deaths from the plague in the shortest amount of time, and superhumans were being worked at a rapid pace to build new sectors. zahavi was approached by kae to work together after the plague cooled down, expanding his forces and creating unity for superhumans around the world.

ADVISED BY: IMANI, SAMUEL, NASRIYA

SPRING POWERS - LED BY ESTEBAN - ABILITY: GRAVITIER

esteban is the leader of the 'spring' powers, he joined unsuper after being approached by a recruiter during a job. esteban worked on the lowest sector building the structures that keep the city floating. esteban is closest to britta and often just goes with whatever her decision is.

SUMMER POWERS - LED BY MANAL - ABILITY: FLOODER

manal is the leader of the 'summer' powers. she joined unsuper two years ago after being rescued from the flood floors. elijah offered her the position after hearing about her objections to many of his plans, as her thoughts offer him different perspectives that help unsuper look better.

AUTUMN POWERS - LED BY DIANA - ABILITY: INCINERATOR

diana is the leader of 'autumn' powers, she joined unsuper on her own after discovering an undercover member on the street. she's been in the position the longest compared to the other three and holds the most respect from all of unsuper. diana is extremely close to kenna.

WINTER POWERS - LED BY BRITTA - ABILITY: ICIER

britta is the leader of the 'winter' powers. she joined unsuper at the same time as manal— they were from the same sector of the flood floors. she rose quickly through the ranks of unsuper as a raider and fighter, and was offered the position as leader a few months before. britta is not well-liked around unsuper because she's very unapproachable and mean.

#case: we are unsuper #evidence: wip #evidence: edit #suspect: britta kvale #suspect: elijah rey #suspect: kae muller #IVE HAD THIS IN MY DRAFTS FOR 7 MONTHS #and finally cracked it all out in an hour

top five unjust depths moments. top five silly oomf tweets and/or poasts. top five kimoments. mwah.

hi dear thank you for so many lists to write. mwah.

okay extremely fucking long post inbound i'm putting this under a read more thank you

TOP 5 UNJUST DEPTHS MOMENTS:

This is such a difficult list to write because there are just SO many good moments, constantly, and in writing it I keep thinking "I have to include something from this part of the story!" and deleting things and replacing them with other things. So I have to just settle on five Really Good Moments but please understand that my favourite moments could be any of a list of, like, 30, probably, depending on the day you catch me. lmao. This list is definitely full of recency bias - I am trying so hard to pick the absolute best stuff. And I will fail. But it's okay.

5. Basically every Marykova moment ever.

Okay okay I'm biased because Maryam is Literally Me but I think it's really sweet the way that, like, Shalikova just starts out so embittered and embroiled in her trauma and Maryam just effortlessly draws out a different side of her. And none of it changes that Shalikova is still dealing with the things that happened to her in the past, but when she goes out in the diver during Goryk's Gorge and really truly almost dies fighting Selene, and just comes back aboard the Brigand and realizes "I need to kiss Maryam right now" it's so incredible. I love them a lot.

4. Arabella casually telling everyone she wants to creampie Zachikova so fucking bad.

Something up with this fish girl.

3. Ulyana/Aaliyah's extremely bad meet-cute.

This was the bit where it really clicked into place in my mind that I was going to adore Unjust Depths. Madiha cooked. Always remember - Ulyana has the Disco Elysium voices in her head. She is at all times just rolling good enough to get by. Bless her heart.

2. Majida being chastised for celebrating her victory in Arc 1 Intermission 6.

I think Majida is an absolutely excellent character, and originally I thought this entry should be the bit where she uses prayer to summon forth the strength she needs to use Spacial Control, but I thought to myself it would be criminal if I didn't have anything from The Moon Under The Mountain. And I think this particular moment was just such a clear and strong tone-setter, during the early bits of Unjust Depths. It's so so good. I have like nothing of consequence to even say just, read it. I love it.

1. HOMA PULLING IMANI INTO A KISS TO DISTRACT HER AND HIT HER WITH THE PUNCH INJECTOR!!!

my godddddd ohhhhh my goddddd it's peakkkkkk it's fucking peakkkkkkk homa finally decides she needs to try to be a hero she decides the volkisch aren't on her side and she wants to "rescue" imani she's deeply misguided and stuck in her feelings and has a moment of incredible unbelievable swag aughughghhhhhh

TOP 5 OOMFIE POSTS:

okay i haven't put a lot of thought into this i just love or hate these posts a lot and want to make everyone look at them.

5. Silent Hill "eatin a burger with no honey mustard"

okay kind of cheating because i'm in this post but who cares. milk kinda went off with this. i'm always saying "eatin a burger with no honey mustard." and it makes me think of the silent hill music every fucking time. all-timer.

4. Izzy impregnation mental gymnastics

I am not explaining this one. nor will i link to it. die forever.

3. Stupid Faggot Shark

thank you rachel for this all-time heater post

2. Tgirl Beak Shapes

my bestie is so wise for this. this post has 20k to me

1. My Therapist, Broly

6 years on still the best. dak the genius of forever.

TOP 5 KIM MOMENTS:

5. when we played phasmophobia duos that one time and you were so so so scared. kept going back to the truck to just watch me. andwe had to stop after 2 rounds because i did the old "die in front of your eyes as a bit" trick and it scared you too much. it was cute

4. like the very first time we ever hung out and hopped on monster hunter rise and found out we had independently made our wyvern riding auto callouts virtually the same ("do a flip"/"do a backflip" and "check out my cool new dog"/"i'm gonna pet this dog so good") it was so goofy. truly our brains have been aligned from the beginning

3. what if there were monsters in the dark forest

2. you showing me cool horror movies. it's just the best. coziest shit ever.

you getting way too excited about tricking people into thinking you and i are dating

#kimpining #ask #this was a joy to write...

Imani Brown of Del Sol Valley, 28

Occupation: A-List Celebrity Hair Stylist

Aspiration: World Famous Stylist

Traits: Loves Paparazzi, Outgoing, Perfectionist, Moon Child, Gentle

Growing up, Imani had a love-hate relationship with her natural hair. Having the kinkiest texture in a female-dominated family, Imani was always being told that her hair was "hard to manage" or that it "didn't look right" for certain occasions, and therefore was completely at a lost as to how to care for it, sacrificing health for style. Born and raised in a predominantly white neighborhood in Windenburg, Imani was influenced by family and friends alike in regards to her hair and constantly being forced to hear that she looked so much better when it was straightened. Imani got serious about hair care during her freshman year in college. Undergoing "The Big Chop", she nurtured her hair from the ground up and quickly graduated from Wash 'n Gos to protective styles. During her sophomore year, she worked part-time at a local black-owned hair salon, A Queen's Crown, owned by a woman in her 70s. Having no children, Ms. Okoye didn't know where the salon would head after she passed on, so Imani made a vow to save up enough money to buy the establishment.

During junior year, Imani started building a personal clientele and word of her talent caught like wildfire, keeping the salon booked and busy. Shortly after graduating college, Imani would service the biggest client of her life: Celebrity Songwriter, Octavia Moon. Dazzled, Octavia's praise blew the salon up, forcing clients to book months in advance. Not only did Imani have enough to buy the salon-which Ms. Okoye ended up giving her as part of her will-she was also able to pack up and jet off to Del Sol Valley with the salon under good management. Servicing wealthy commoners, upstarts and established stars alike, Imani has been commissioned for almost any occasion from prom night to movie sets of billion-simoleon films. Her work has been featured twice on Pink Lotion Magazine, the biggest black-owned magazine on the west side, and she's currently working on her second hair salon.

P.S. I don't need to be responsible for another gameplay; however....

So i go the continuities for my transformers ocs here's what i have so far:

In 1985, Following the success of Transformers, Hasbro decided to create two toylines this time to market for girls based on the concept of transformation. One of them was Transform-A-Girl, intended to be to Hasbro's answer to She Ra. Like She-Ra, each character had her own weapon, special power, persona, and were divided into factions of good vs evil. The main draw however were fashion accessories that could change into transportation. For example, Imani's backpack could turn into a jetpack, while her rival Regina had a skateboard that could turn into a rocket. There were other gimmicks such as color changing hair, glow in the dark makeup, and light up vehicles, as well as playsets in various motifs from urban landscapes to fierce jungle empires, to beautiful ocean castles. While a moderate success, the toyline did not meet expectations and was cancelled in 1991. In those years the brand went stagnant only releasing a few reissues but not much else.

Six years later, Hasbro brought back the line to coincide with the release of Beast Wars. Like the previous generation, the new Transform-A-Girl emphasized animal motifs with a new cast of characters. It was believed the reason this line was to counter Sailor Moon (which had been dubbed in the States at the time). A 2d animated show was also created to market the series.

After Beast Wars ended Transform A Girl would go into another period of inactivity. Until in 2007 the line came back just in time for Michael Bay's movie! The Girls also made in appearance in Transformers Animated as that show's main group of humans. Since then the characters made appearances in Transformers Media and will have their own show coming out in 2023.

Another draw for the line was the array of diversity not typically featured in most doll lines at the time. No two girls looked the same, and had surprisingly complex personalities and lore. Even the main character wasn't a skinny blonde white woman but a plus sized black woman who didn't fall into fatphobic stereotypes. The creator of the line, whose identity remains anonymous, said that they wanted a doll line that focused on lore and characterization. That girls deserve stories that are just as complicated as boys, to show that every girl is unique in their own way. They wanted girls of color to experience superhero stories in a way that empowers them, while also showing the importance of asking for help and cooperation (avoiding the strong black woman trope). Said the reclusive artist, "I want to show that girls like me were heroes, that being a hero doesn't mean shouldering burdens by yourself. And I hope that message resonates with everyone one day."

Characters: Gen 1: Imani/Skyliner, Nicole/Nightshift, Alisha, Regina/Thunder Queen, Jewelia, Haumea, Connie Irving, Stellatrix, Lady Belladonna, Morbita

Characters: Beast Wars: Mariposa/Butterflix, Elle-Phantom, Damselfly, Draguna, Orchidstrator

Animated: Imani/Skyliner, Nicole/Nightshift, Alisha, Malina/Butterflix, Veena Micel/Melinoe, Connie Irving, Regine/Thunder Queen

Prime: Agent Imani, Regina

Cyberverse: NA

Bayformers: Imani, Nicole, Alisha, Regina, Stellatrix, Morbita, Solace

Knightverse: Imani, Malina/Mariposa, Draguna

#transformers oc #oc x canon #IT IS NOT A REAL TOYLINE IM JUST WRITING IT AS SUCH!#besides i like collecting dolls and i feel like my OCs wouldve been a counter to She Ra if they were canon #since they follow similar elements being female heroes (and villains) who can transform and shit #transformers

The Min pack all take seats around the large waiting area while Yoongi and Namjoon walk to the main desk and speak with the receptionist. Sitting in Jimin’s lap, Imani’s hands go to the hoop earring that he wears and she plays with it. Jimin smiles and kisses the top of Imani’s head as he starts to hum gently. Beside Jimin, Taehyung takes hold of Imani’s free hand and kisses her tiny little fingers. Imani smiles and Taehyung makes a silly face to which Imani giggles and tries to copy him. They go back and forth making silly faces until Yoongi and Namjoon come over and everyone is looking at them while Imani hides her face in Jimin’s neck.

“They want us in room 613. Someone will show us the way.” Namjoon explains as Yoongi reaches down and takes Imani from Jimin. No one says a thing as they are led to a room that has a large wooden table in the center with chairs on both sides. The walls are cream with a pale yellow accent wall. In the far corner of the room away from the table is what looks to be a nesting and play corner. At the sight of the toys, Yoongi sets Imani down and pets her head softly.

“Why don’t you go play, hm? It looks like a lot of fun.”

Imani looks at the toys and takes a step closer to Yoongi. She grips onto his pant leg and everyone frowns. Taehyung wonders if this whole trip is a mirror image of what could have happened when she was given to the HBM. Taehyung shakes his head and squats down in front of Imani.

“All aboard the TaeTae train!”

Jimin gasps and moves to get on Taehyung’s back but Imani giggles and stops him. “Too big! Me wide!” Imani jumps onto Taehyung’s back and Jimin pouts.

“No fair! I want a ride!”

Jungkook snorts, hands Imani’s outing bag to Hoseok and lowers himself onto all fours in front of Jimin, “Bet I’m faster!” Jungkook teases and Jimin sits on his back. Seokjin sighs but smiles nonetheless knowing that the boys are being silly to make Imani feel better. He clears his throat and stands behind them.

“Ready. Set. Go!”

Taehyung and Jungkook start to crawl over to the toys with a speed that makes Imani shout and giggle while Jimin laughs, his eyes turned into crescent moons with his mouth wide open. Taehyung and Jungkook reach the toys at the same time and Jungkook trips over his hands so that Taehyung places Imani down in front of the toys first to make her the winner. Knowing that Imani is now focused on the toys and the younger members of the pack, the other four sit at the table with Seokjin and Yoongi in the middle.

( Imani paces back and forth in the inn room she's in. Her Primarina, June, is out of his ball, watching his trainer pace around with a concerned look. )

( Today was tiring. Between having to explain herself in front of her friends,to learning more about Hauyne, then learning even more about Hauyne from Melia and Aelita. Suffice to say, she feels like a jerk after what she said earlier. For saying she was angry. Though, the more she thought about it, the more she felt like she had a right to be. Still, Melia and Aelita stating how Hauyne shrewd her own story to make her seem like a villain was eye opening. She frowned at the idea of viewing oneself as that. It's....kinda miss how much people care for you, doesn't it? Despite the countless mistakes people still care and want to be around you..maybe that's hypothetical, coming from her, but Arrow-)

' Arrow! What would Arrow do?'

( Imani thinks long and hard about this, going through the memories that she had with Arrow up to know. One finally comes to mind. The memory was right after the School of Nightmares, Imani locked herself into her room. It was immature, she knows, but she needed to be alone. And yet, when Arrow asked to come in, she let him)

' You're just a kid, you know,' they said that day, ' You have the whole world on your shoulders.'

( Imani looks at them quizzically, prompting Arrow to continue)

' There's people who care about you, and are more than glad to help you carry the burden. I'm more than willing. Please don't forget that,'

( Imani still frowns, looking off to the side)

' But....but all of this started because of my own existence. Maybe things would be better off if I -'

'Shut up'

'Huh?!'

( Imani looks to see Arrow with a genuine frown, their eyebrows furrowed. Were they- angry?!)

' There are people who care about you tremendously. People who you made their lives so much better. Do you really think we would be better off without you, Imani?'

' I-'

' We love you, Imani. Flaws and all. Never forget that'

( The memory fades, and Imani's heart is a brazen. She looks at her starter with great determination.)

" I know what to do now. But I don't know how,"

( She walks up to June, once again cupping his face)

" I think an apology would do it. Not about being angry, but being so quick to judge. And...hmmmm"

( Imani ponders a bit more. The banter between Hauyne and Kali. Specifically the one about her Alolan Ninetales.)

" You think Hauyne is up for a makeover during our downtime? She did mention her Ninetales enjoying fashion...."

( June's eyes light up and he barks happily. Imani grins ear to ear)

" Yeah! I knew you'd get it. So that's the plan for tomorrow! During our downtime we give Hauyne the best makeover ever!"

( June barks again and Imani never felt better. She returned him to his ball, and said her good nights to everyone. That night, she wouldn't wipe the smile off her face if she tried. )

[ooc: resend via ask! Also Imani makeover......2!!!!!]

Prev < Post 2 > Next

(Tonight was another one of those nights for Hauyne.)

(Not wanting to spend the rest of the hours tossing and turning, Hauyne quietly snuck out into the Zorrialyn Coast. As she didn’t want to wake anyone, she left her Pokemon in her room - including her first partner, Kali. God knows she needs her rest; a Mythical she may be, but she isn’t immune to the call of slumber like Hauyne is. Thus, she left the Zeraora to her rest.)

‘Nice weather tonight,’ she mused idly, feeling the sea breeze caressing her face. ‘The skies are clear, the moon is full, and not a trace of light pollution to be seen. The best time to stargaze...’

(She directed her gaze heavenward, allowing herself bask in the rhythmic crashes of the waves against the shore. Even when she’s worlds away, the sounds of the sea never failed to soothe her spirit. It’s only a pity that she could never know the joys of swimming ever again... even the mere thought of going for a dip sent lances of phantom pains searing through her chest.)

(She quashed down the memory of her nearly drowning, in the very beginning on her journey...)

(From deep within her very being, she felt the stirrings of a familiar song emerging. She didn’t fight it, instead letting it flow freely, allowing a poignant sorrow to bleed into her usually dispassionate voice.)

“For whom weeps the storm? Her tears on our skin~ The days of our years gone, Our souls soaked in sin~”

(Her eyes fluttered shut, allowing herself to be enveloped in the song. The rest of lyrics had faded away into the tranquil darkness, yet it mattered not; she was more than familiar with the song to know the exact words that had spilled from her lips. Before long, the final verse had been sung, and Hauyne moved on to a different song. As she sung, the weight pressing against her heart lessened and lessened, and eventually it lifted just enough to feel as if she could finally breathe freely...)

(Eventually, the final song came to a close, giving way to serene silence. Feeling much better than she had before, Hauyne opened her eyes once more. In the lonely coast illuminated only by the glow of the moon, it looked as if her brilliant blue eyes were shining with a preternatural light. Though it could be merely them reflecting the moonlight.)

(Well, anyhow, she felt calm enough to return to her room. Still, there’s one more thing she wanted to do before leaving...)

(A strange yet familiar energy pooled within her chest, building and growing until it felt as if it was going to burst at any moment. Then, she released it, unleashing it all in the form of a thunderous roar. One so powerful, she could practically feel the air ripple violently under its sheer volume and might. It echoed satisfyingly, gradually fading away towards the horizon.)

‘Here’s hoping no one figures this out,’ she snickered to herself at that thought. ‘Or maybe they did, but they’re too nice to point it out.’

(It didn’t matter, anyway. She had vented out everything that she had kept bottled up, and she honestly couldn’t care less if people knew that she was the source of the rumoured “dragon’s roar”. It was, quite honestly, rather cathartic. She could see why dragon Pokemon had loved to roar so much.)

(Dusting off the sand off her clothes, Hauyne spared the night horizon one last glance, before making her way back to Sashila Village.)

#roleplay #interceptor oc: hauyne #[ooc: something peaceful after that angst fest lol]#[ooc: and here we have a live demonstration of the noble's roar technique!]

— location: cameron's pub — date and time: saturday night — availability: closed | @samadlawan

“It doesn’t matter how much I’ve been working out lately, in the end– I’m getting old, man. My back was hurting like hell yesterday, even tried some yoga today,” Zion shared while sitting by a bar stool. Even if they actually shared the same house, it felt necessary sometimes to go out. It made their relationship, in Zion’s perspective, better. A reminder that although they were family, they were also friends. And Sam had been a foundation needed in his life and Imani’s after the loss of Alaya. It was one of the reasons why Zion was now living in Half Moon Bay.

Taking a sip from his beer, he looked around taking a good look at the bar they were in, before an idea reached his mind and instantly was shared with Sam. “You want to play something? Darts or pool? We can bet something to make it more fun,” he tapped the surface of the counter.

you’re it, you’re the ultimatum au // a wildmoore fanfic, chapter 6

summary: in short, thanks to a reality dating show, Kate gave Sophie an ultimatum, and Ryan gave Angelique one, and soon enough, Ryan and Sophie will spend three weeks in an ‘accelerated’ marriage for this dating show. But first, they have to choose each other. chapter 6 summary: Now that Angelique and Kate have joined forces, Dating Week continues with a group date that takes a turn for the worst. + read on ao3

🦇

Kate claps her hands together to draw everyone’s attention. It’s day three of Dating Week, and the cast all turns to face her. This outdoor lounge is cozier than the last one they were in. The large circular couches are like two crescent moons to fit them all. Maybe it’s meant to feel like they’re all coming together, but it comes off more as a challenge. A showdown in the making. While everyone mostly milled around their afternoon hangout, Kate split a glance with Angelique.

“Who’s ready to play Truth or Drink?”

A mix of groans and cheers follow Kate’s question. Sophie takes a larger swig from her colored wine glass. The producers wave off camera, motioning for everyone to head to the couches.

Kate takes a seat close to the edge of the left moon. Angelique settles into the middle of the right. Sophie sits on the far edge of the right, nearly as far away from Kate as possible. Ryan hesitates before sitting a bit off center on the left. Not too close to Sophie, but not right across from Angelique either. Meanwhile, Renee settles next to Sophie without a care in the world.

Renee raises her glass. “I’ll start. Ryan —“ Renee waits long enough for everyone to focus in on Ryan, “— where’d you go yesterday?”

Ryan shrugs in a show for the cameras. “You know, all of this is really new to a girl like me. So I took some time. Got a drink. Got some perspective.”

“Meaning you tried to leave, and they stopped you?” Renee asks.

Ryan scrunches her nose towards Renee. “Can’t answer that. You only get one question at a time. My turn now, and I pick… Imani.” And Imani lights up from her spot across from Kate. “Tell me, how important is family to you?”

Imani pushes her glasses up her nose before answering. “It’s more important than anything. I volunteer to make sure my family has a great future. I hope to adopt quite a few kids one day.” Imani’s partner smiles sadly. So Imani turns her attention down the line. “I pick… Sophie. Sorry we haven’t talked much yet. How, uh, how do you feel about PDA?”

Kate snorts. Sophie grips her own glass a little tighter.

Angelique sing-songs, “It’s not a hard question. We’re all adults here. Come on, Soph.”

Sophie barely stops a glare.

Kate says, “Sophie hates nicknames.”

Sophie snaps, “Sophie can answer for herself.” Kate sips at her drink. Sophie tries to sound a little less tense as she answers Imani. “I don’t see the point in showing off in front of other people.”

Imani nods, but her wide eyes and tight smile carry her judgment. It’s not like Sophie doesn’t express her emotions, or her affection. But those things are private. They were private with Tyler too. Of course, she didn’t exactly feel all that motivated to do things with Tyler. A quick kiss here and there calmed him. A peck to reaffirm that what they had wasn’t going anywhere. It’d been a convincing ruse. But that’s all it was. A public show over a private problem.

Sophie explains, “Just because you’re in a relationship doesn’t mean everyone else has to be.”

“Right.”

Ryan offers support, tossing in, “Some people do take it too far.”

“Exactly!” Sophie breathes a quick sigh of relief into her drink.

Kate, however, chuckles to herself. “And some don’t take it anywhere. I mean, you couldn’t even hold my hands for years. Then again,” her eyes cut to Ryan, “you’ve been sneaking off and cozying in corners since we got here.”

Sophie sits up at the thinly veiled accusation. “I’ve been talking since we got here. We’re all talking. You talked to Renee earlier.”

Kate corrects, “I drank with Renee earlier.”

Renee’s girlfriend, Pam, jumps in to say, “Renee likes drinking a little too much.”

So Renee tacks on, “Pam likes eco-terrorism a little too much.”

Kate ignores them both to lean in further to the circle. “I just think it’s funny that it took so long for Sophie to come out, but she looks so comfortable now.” She raises her nearly empty glass. “A toast to growth and second marriages.”

Sophie tenses. “You’ve probably had enough, Kate.”

Angelique smiles though. “Wait, who was married already?” She scans the group good-naturedly, but her eyes land right back on Sophie in no time. They have the nerve to dance.

Sophie should’ve seen this coming. Should’ve known that as the week progressed and she showed a hint of getting closer to someone, well, that’s when Kate would want to make sure that everyone knew everything. Kate Kane didn’t traffic in secrets. Not that Sophie would’ve been able to keep this one for that long anyway.

Fine. Sophie clears her throat. “I was married. To a man for three years.”

The silence could’ve been intense, but Ryan cuts through it. Her voice confused more than anything else. “I thought you were a lesbian?”

“I am,” Sophie says, “I just…” wanted to make her mother proud. Wanted things to be simple. “Things were easy with him.”

Kate inches further down on her couch. “And they’re hard with me?”

Sophie shakes her head.

Ryan turns her eyes to Kate. “I think it’s Sophie’s turn to ask a question.”

“Then she should ask one,” Kate returns to Ryan.

Sophie glances to Renee, who looks so freaking delighted that Sophie can’t possibly ask her anything. She’ll give it right back to Kate. But Sophie looks at some of the other women and can’t even remember their names. The last few days have been all Ryan and Renee and Kate and —

“Angelique,” Sophie starts, “what’s the best date you’ve ever been on?” That should defuse some of the tension.

“Why? Wanna copy it?” Angelique asks. It’s combative and childish, and she shifts her head towards Ryan before Ryan can even finish narrowing her eyes. “Ryan’s got a van, and we drove it out as close as we could get to a waterfall. Watched the sunrise against the waves and knew we could see the world together.”

“Awww.” A few of the other women coo. Ryan smiles at Angelique, but her girl doesn’t even look her way.

Angelique asks Sophie, “What’s your damage?”

“Ange—“ Ryan tries.

But Angelique talks over her. “You don’t like attention, but you go on a reality show. You say she’s the love of your life, but you won’t marry her.”

“You won’t marry, Ryan,” Sophie says back.

“I hate marriage, but you’ve clearly had no problem getting hitched in the past, so again, I ask, what is your problem?” Angelique enunciates every bit of that last question. Ryan kicks at Angelique’s foot with her own. Angelique finally glances at Ryan then. “Sorry, Ry, did I hurt your girlfriend’s feelings?”

Ryan doesn’t take on the challenge. Just says, “I don’t think you should be airing people’s secrets on camera. You’ve got plenty.”

“I don’t need secrets,” Ange says. “If people want to know what I’ve done, they can know. I used to do drugs, and I don’t anymore. I’m sober now. I got clean after the Crows tried to ruin my life. And I’ll be damned if I just sit here and smile while a Crow tries to do it again.”

Sophie starts, “How am I—“

“You’re into Ryan, aren’t you?” Angelique asks. Sophie’s words stop in her throat. “I see the way you look at her.” Angelique turns on Ryan then. “And you know — you know — what they put us through, and you’re still thinking about picking her. Don’t try and lie now. It’s Truth or Drink. Are you gonna pick her for The Choice?”

“You’ve asked too many questions.”

“And no one is answering them!” Angelique pushes herself forward on the couch. She’s barely even seated anymore. “Truth or drink.”

Ryan stares at Angelique and, without breaking eye contact, she drinks.

And Sophie can’t help it. She can’t. So she says, “At least Ryan has a choice for this week. Who have you connected with? Or have you been too busy trying to keep up your little lifestyle?”

Angelique spits out, “‘Little lifestyle,’ wow. Now why does that sound familiar?” And the way she asks sounds too knowing. Too sure.

Sophie’s eyes cut to Kate’s, and there’s a flash of guilt in those eyes that Sophie knows so well.

Kate’s quick to say then, “Maybe we should play a different game.”

But Sophie shakes her head. “No, finish your thought, Angelique. I want to hear it.”

Angelique stands up. “Kate told me all about how your coming out went. How your mom turned her back on you, and you’re too terrified of doing anything without Mommy’s approval. So ask yourself how your mom’s going to take all this. You ditching your girlfriend for the first other girl to bat her eyes at you.”

Ryan snaps, full bass in her voice, “Angelique.”

Angelique stops. “I’m done.”

Sophie stands with her flaring nostrils and red-rimmed eyes. “So am I.” She leaves the table, and Kate knocks back the rest of her glass before getting up to follow her.
