I did these sketches for the kings + queens back in 2021 that I’ve had in my drafts since then too, that I always meant to ink and color to make as finished drawings but I never got around to it. Also, since I’ve made both changes to their physical appearances and their basic information since then, I will be making brand new references for them sometime. I’m not too sure when those will come out(as I have some other projects I’m working on at the moment), but it is/was a project that I have been wanting to do for a long time so hopefully it will be sometime soon this summer!

In the meantime I will be sharing these old sketches and a little information about them, originally they were all going to be in the same post but I thought that would get too long. But, I hope you enjoy and to start off, we have the rulers of Feor~ 🔥

=============================================================

- Ruling King Vulcan(47) and Queen Consort Soleil(45) Von Brandt are the current reigning royals of the Kingdom of Feor and the parents to Ignatius, Hestia, Flint, and Ashton. Both come off as the type who are very stern and intimidating upon first glance, but deep down they are a lot more open-minded and accepting than one would think. They have known each other from the time they were children, but it was not till they were both over the age of 16 were they arranged to be married. Their arrangement aside, the two were already close as friends and knew they wanted to get to know each other romantically before their marriage, and through their dates they truly did feel in love when their wedding finally came. Vulcan tends to come off as very serious and no-nonsense, preferring a strong and logical approach when it comes to ruling, but he softens up a lot around his family. Soleil comes off as very wise and mature, used to have trouble expressing her emotions and inner troubles to others but is a lot more lively nowadays. While they are technically allies with Mareas through the Elemental Alliance, in truth they still see the Water Kingdom as their “rivals” and both Vulcan and Soleil do not care for Queen Arethusa and King Lian’s attitudes, to put it as lightly as possible. Though they have their thoughts over the queen and king, the two actually don’t mind their children and see them all as good kids, even Brooke who is often seen as the “problem child” between him and his siblings. While they have not gotten a solid confirmation from him yet, both have their speculations that their eldest son Nate is gay and that he is secretly seeing Prince Brooke, given how the Mareasian-style engagement ring he wears kind of gives it away and from noticing how they look at each other, but as Nate has not said anything they have no real proof at the moment and are patiently waiting for him to tell them himself.

Rising Sun/Reincarnation AU adaptation

Luffy - Nika

Zoro - Enma (at the time, he was a low-ranking demon that Nika Freed and follows out of respect and ambition.)

Nami - Njor (not related to Nika, but instead was abandoned by a different pantheon and was found by a mortal and raised as such. Nika saw potential in her and demanded she join him by Freeing her homeland)

Usopp - Antonio (a mortal prophet that Nika gave the Freedom of Speech and Truth, allowing anything said to become reality, but it's a retroactive power to the world, so it's never really noticeable)

Sanji - Troien (initially a damaged mortal from a noble family. But Nika gave him the Freedom of Movement and now is a God of Hunters and Love)

Chopper - Caeronn (an odd beast that always tried to nurture and help others, despite protests of others and not understanding what was needed. Nika granted the Freedom of Knowledge, Memory, and Reason so he could do everything he desired.)

Robin - Imu (before you get snippy, this makes more sense. Imu decided to join Nika out of personal ambition despite the others' initial protests. Nika allowed them to come along. When they betrayed the crew, Nika Freed them from Divinity and Immortality, leading them to later deception of others)

Franky - Sevvr Jetsm (a natural creator Nika clashed with a few times, granting him the Freedom of Expression. In time, he was deceived by Imu to develop the Great Weapons)

Brook - Whelpül (a Ferryman that lost his mind in isolation. Nika Freed him from the Imposed Duty to allow him to express himself. As gratitude, he became the God of Talent, ingraining skills into ones' very Souls.)

Jimbe - Blüshankl (the First Fishman. Titan of the Depths. He distorted the waves so no one could leave their place of being. Nika Freed him from Loneliness and brought forth new life.)

Law - Hostaal (one of Nika's Rivals that clashed with him because of Freedom of Life meant Freedom of Pain and Suffering. He tries to fix that. He was deceived by Imu to create the Eternal Youth Surgery)

Zuneisha - (Nika's pet elephant. Always protected Nika from Imu's feral leopard)

Okay I really love that and I don't where start so I will talk a bit of each. First of all I need say...I love your ideas and the changes are spot on so...

Zoro: Enma being a low status demon actually works better than he being a high one since start. I really want to keep the 'King of Hell' thing so making him starting from the bottom until the top on the Underwood would give even more impact to Nika's death. To Enma all he got now is because Nika was kind and now he is gone.

Nami:I can't change Njor relation with Nika because this is part of her deity character and has a great influence on this au(like how Bellemere got her and Nojiko in middle of storm). Now, about the abandonment I can see this happening too, now....even though she was Zinabi"s daughter she wasn't part of his pantheon...because she was popular and know by another people so she was part of THIS pantheon...somehow she started losing believers with let her be forgotten on the pantheon an left behind where she is taken care by humans...Nika feel her and save her and the rest is history...

Usopp: first of all, I love the name Antonio(I am Brazilian and this name is popular here so...I love it) . I can imagine the people not believing on Antonio at first just like how people didn't belived in Usopp, Nika probably would have gave his gift when Antonio was telling a story and Niks loves stories so he was there to listen and saw a man with good heart to make this world better.

Sanji: is perfection, I doesn't even know what to say just how to make this more complete...Troien was a 'broken human' to his family. He couldn't walk and his hand are always shaking, one day his father got tired and asked to drown him on the sea. Nika couldn't let this happen as he hears the pray of Troien's mother and blessed Troien freeing his legs and arms asking his grandfather(The god Mar) to guide the man to a Island...

Chopper: the monster that become a SPIRIT of protection? Yes I am in this. Every mythology has a monster and this is not different, Caeronn was a beast that some would says be merciless...but he was kind, Nika saw a creature that should bring fear just wanting to cure...he had to help

Robin: now we got the problem, I really like your interpretation of Robin as Im. I Just doesn't know how this could work? Like we still have Im in canon so would those be two different people or two halfs of the same? Would Im's actions affect how Robin see loyalty?

Franky: Sevvr Jetsan being the one to make the Great Weapons is actually brilliant and I don't know how I didn't thought on this...seriously. Also Sevvr using Nika's blessing to build something he would be against hurts...like being forced to betray a friend..(also the detail of Franky burning the blueprints...the own creator destroying something that should never exist...)

Brook: I have nothing to say about Brook, seriously...this is perfect. This summons perfectly Brook's character..also making him go through loneliness twice is sad.

Jimbe: about Jimbei's name I just need say I loved it. So...him being a kind of titan is amazing and him being responsible of the dangers of the seas is also good. But somehow I just feel the urge to give him a relation to Mar....maybe both created the sea kings? Or something like that....s

Law: let be honest, only Hostaal saw himself as Nika's rival...to Nika they are friends. Hostage having a problem to how Nika sees life is spot on, just yes..also Hostaal being forced to make the Youth Surgery....this was one for the few things Nika and him agreed...this shouldn't exist...immortality is not the answer.

Zunesha: nothing to talk about, just yes. NEED BE THAT

Part 12 of the Meet Me at Sunrise Series

Previous Chapter: Entangled

Next Chapter: Bruised

Author’s Note: FINALLY got past my writers’ block, more chapters to follow shortly!

Beta reading dream team: @violentcosmicsymphony and @briefgalaxycat

Paring: Marcus Pike x FBI Agent!Reader

Words: 1.4k

Warnings: None

Summary: A surprise visitor to the bullpen leaves Marcus a little more jealous than he would care to admit.

———

Deputy Assistant Director Nathan Gray was a lovely man, 6'4 with dark hair and warm hazel eyes that oozed charisma and charm. You were surprised when he entered the bullpen and settled by your desk.

“Deputy Assistant Director Gray, to what do I owe this honor?” You said with a smile, setting down the paperwork you had been pouring over this morning.

“I've been wanting to talk to you about the undercover work you did on the Christian Laurent case. I was very impressed with your performance.” He said with praise, although you missed the way his eyes raked over your body.

“Thank you, that means a lot. I really enjoyed going undercover, honestly.” You admitted.

“That's why I wanted to talk to you, actually.” Nathan sat on the corner of your desk, a move that did not go unnoticed by Marcus as he tried to watch inconspicuously from his office.

“I think you are very talented and would be an invaluable asset to the White-Collar division. I'd like to offer you a supervisory role to a team focused on fraud and forgeries.” Nathan continued, a warm smile on his face. You were stunned and caught completely off guard.

“I... Wow, that's a wonderful offer. It really is, but I'm really happy here with the Art Crimes team.” You answered. As Nathan looked deep into your eyes you were suddenly uncomfortably aware of how close he was. Marcus watched from his office as Nathan leaned forward and placed his hand on your arm, continuing his job pitch. That was what pushed Marcus over the edge as he found himself leaving his office, grabbing his jacket off the couch on his way out.

You heard Marcus call your name softly as he approached your desk, turning away from Nathan with a smile. There was an odd look on Marcus’ face that you couldn’t quite decipher as he stopped next to where you sat.

“Ready to go grab some lunch?” He said with a smile, though his eyes flicked over to Nathan almost as if sizing him up.

“Ooh yes. I just need a minute to get my stuff. Do you want to get Chinese today?” You said, looking up at Marcus.

“That sounds wonderful.” Marcus said as he put a finger under your chin, lifting it as he leaned down to give you a chaste kiss. You were a little taken aback, though pleasantly surprised, by his kiss. Although the pair of you weren’t actively hiding your relationship from work, especially since you were engaged now, it was very unusual of Marcus to show affection so blatantly in the office around other agents. Nathan looked surprised too as he stood up from his seat on your desk, standing there slightly awkwardly.

“I didn’t know that the two of you were together...” Nathan said, Marcus noticed the subtle look of disappointment on his face that you didn’t catch.

“For a while now.” Marcus said stiffly, and that’s when it finally hit you. Was Marcus Pike jealous? You gave Nathan a smile as you held up your left hand, your engagement ring catching the light.

“We got engaged last week.” You stood up, picking up your purse, and settled yourself at Marcus’ side. His hand was at the small of your back instantly, large and comforting.

“Congratulations.” Nathan gave you both a smile and nod, then turned to you. “Just let me know what you decide and reach out, alright?”

“I doubt I’ll change my mind, but if I do, I’ll give you a call.” You smirked and left the bullpen with Marcus, his hand drifting to your waist as you entered the elevator.

“What brought Deputy Assistant Director Gray by today?” Marcus said, trying to appear nonchalant but you could read him like a book.

“He’s trying to steal me away from you.” You quickly continued at the look of shock on his face, turning to wrap your arms around his neck as the elevator doors shut. “He’s trying to poach me for White Collar. He offered me a position leading a team here in DC, but I told him no. I’m more than happy with my job here. Plus, my boss and I get along really well.”

“Oh... I thought he was... well never mind.” Marcus turned a bit pink. There was a moment of relief that washed over Marcus’ face and then sudden concern. “Wait. A promotion?”

“Yeah, but I’m really not interested.” You said dismissively and then gave him a grin. “You were jealous, weren’t you?”

“Was it that obvious?” Marcus said sheepishly as the two of you untangled from each other when the elevator reached the first floor. You slid your hand into his and headed through the lobby, onto the busy streets of Washington.

“Just a little.” You stopped, stepping close to Marcus until your chests were brushing and cupped his cheek. “You won’t get rid of me that easily Mr. Pike. You’ve got me for the long haul.”

“I love you Mrs. Pike.” Marcus kissed you, slow and passionate.

“I love you too... and I could definitely get used to the sound of that.” You whispered softly against his lips, giving him another kiss.

“Me too.” Marcus pressed one last quick kiss to you lips and began to lead you towards the Chinese takeout restaurant a few blocks away. “So... about that promotion.”

“Nope, I told you I’m not going anywhere.” As you looped your arm with his, he was a bit relieved. Working with you was one of his favorite parts of his job, and you were a highly valuable asset to the team. But a promotion? He didn’t want to hold you back, but he knew how hardheaded you were. Once you made up your mind, he was hard pressed to change it. Maybe it was a conversation for another day.

———-

It surprised you and Marcus both at how much like gossipy teenagers Federal Agents could be. The next morning the news of your engagement quickly spread at the Bureau, heads of other various units swinging by the bullpen with congratulations to you and Marcus. There were more than a few raised eyebrows from higher ups who had been completely oblivious to your relationship, but you were delighted. The accidental freedom he had given the two of you by spilling the beans to Gray was refreshing. You didn't have to police your affection for Marcus around work anymore and it was lovely. You sat on your couch that evening watching a movie and let out a soft hum of contentment, your back pressed against Marcus' chest as his skilled hands worked at the muscles in your shoulders and neck. You laughed lightly at Gene Wilder as his antics unfolded on the TV. You found out recently Marcus hadn't seen most of Mel Brooks' movies and had decided it was a crime that needed to be corrected immediately, tonight's movie was Young Frankenstein.

“Sweetheart... I need to apologize.” Marcus said softly, his hands kneading at the knot in your shoulder.

“For what?” You said, a little surprised.

“For acting so possessive when Gray was flirting with you.” He said sheepishly. You repositioned yourself so you could look into his eyes.

“There is nothing to apologize for.” You smiled and kissed him softly. “It was kind of sweet. You wanted him to know I'm yours, and I am. I'm not going anywhere.” Marcus grinned at that, capturing your lips in another kiss and rested his forehead against yours.

“Speaking of going somewhere... As much as I don't want to lose you, I think you should consider that promotion in White Collar.” He brushed his nose against yours.

“But the team-” You started, you loved them as if they were your own family.

“Would understand, and you can't let us hold you back. This is a great opportunity, if it's something that interests you, you should pursue it.” Marcus insisted.

“... I'll think about it, I promise.” You assured him. “But for now, how about cuddles and more movies?” Kissing him you tucked yourself back against his chest, sighing happily when he wrapped his arms around you.

“Sounds like a perfect night to me.” Marcus pressed a kiss to your temple and settled in for the simple pleasure of a night in with you in his arms.

Chapter Three: A New Home and Revelations

Summary // Chapter List / Masterlist

Join The TagList Here 💜

A/N: feedback is always accepted especially with this as I’d love to know your thoughts.

As Brooke walked through the airport she was glad to finally be able to stretch her legs. She had never been that good at flying so now it was over at least she could take a breath and somewhat relax. To the world she looked like a confident twenty one year old exploring the world but inside she felt like the scared little eight year old she once was.

Finally after scanning the arrivals hall she saw a couple holding a sign with her name written on. It took her a second to start walking towards them but as she did she felt a sense of familiarity about them, like she had met them in a past life. Taking a deep breath she pushed the feelings aside, smiling at them as she walked closer.

“Brooke right?” The woman smiled softly at her.

“Yeah that’s me” Brooke nodded as the guy took her suitcase from her.

“I’m Chris and this is my wife Laura” he smiled.

They quickly sensed that Brooke wasn’t in the mood for talking as they walked through the airport.

The drive to her new home was quiet, which she was grateful for, all she wanted to do was eat and take a nap. It had been a long flight, but she had a feeling that she wouldn’t be able to get a nap for a while.

Looking out the window she watched the trees and scenery as she headed to her new home. Soon enough the car came to a stop at a large set of metal gates. This was it, this would be home for who knows how long. She watched as Chris spoke to the guys guarding the gate. Pulling her headphones out she paused her music to listen to what they were saying but it was all in whispers so she gave up. The sound of a familiar rumble in the distance caught her attention. She knew that sound anywhere. As they drove into the property Brooke was shocked this place was huge, there were bikes racing about and a lot of fit guys. Maybe this place wouldn’t be so bad after all.

Once the car was parked she climbed out of the car, stretching her back, feeling the soothing of her bones cracking.

“Come on, first stop is meeting the president” Chris said as he hauled her suitcases out of the car.

“Is this some kind of democracy? Like you have your own President” Brooke said raising her eyebrow. Where the hell as she.

“All will come clear” Chris laughed holding his lighter out to light Brooke’s cigarette as well as his own “I have a feeling you are going to fit in perfectly”

Soon enough they were standing in a room that looked like an office, Brooke looked around seeing all of the pictures lining the white walls. Wherever she was, it looked like a big family.

"Prez this is Brooke her family sent her to live with me and Laura" Chris said nodding at the blonde who smiled, awkwardly waving a small wave as two more guys appeared.

One of them definitely caught her attention, and she couldn’t help but smirk. His golden hair, bright blue eyes and bulging muscles covered in tattoos. He was definitely a god and definitely Brooke’s type. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad living here with the eye candy she thought. Before mentaly scolding herself for practically drooling over the blonde god.

She was in a complete world of her own so she didn’t realise that the other guy was staring at her rather intently.

“Urm mate take a photo it lasts longer” she sassed “in fact scratch that I don’t know what the hell you would do with it.” All the guy could do was smirk which annoyed her.

“I mean the sass is there” he chuckled as he studied her face a bit harder. “Wait, it can’t be. Please tell me this isn’t a joke”

“Urm” Brooke said, extremely confused as everyone stared at her. To make matters more confusing everything and everyone seemed so familiar. Like she had been here before. There was something about this place that felt like home.

“Please tell me you actually brought her home” the dark haired guy said on the verge of tears.

"sorry don't know what you are on but I've never been here in my life" Brooke snapped as she fiddled with her lighter in her pocket.

“Yeah it’s definitely her Bro” Blonde god grinned.

“Can someone just tell me what the fuck is going on” Brooke huffed. She always hated being kept in the dark. Before she could process what was going on she the air was squeezed out of her in a bone crushing hug.

“I think you need to take a seat as we have some things to explain” Blonde god said, the power that radiated off him made Brooke want to submit to his every word. “Where have you been all this time?”

“Long story short, living in London, like causing trouble. Caused said trouble and my adopted parents sent me to live here and now I’m hella confused and I don’t like it” Brooke said as she played with her thumb ring, the one this she always did when she was nervous.

Around two hours had passed and Brooke learned that the dark haired guy was James, her older brother and blondie was Xavier. She was part of this family before she was kidnapped when she was around eight. Which tallied up with all her memories of the foster homes and that time she didn’t like to think about let alone mention. Every question or piece of information the boys have her made her head spin even more. She had so many questions but had no idea where to start. Whether it was from the confusion or lack of sleep she felt her eyes get heavy before everything went black.

The lads watched as Brooke’s knees gave way, without a second though Xavier was by her side wrapping his arms around her waist so she didn’t crash onto the floor. Adjusting his grip he laid her on the sofa that was in the office. He couldn’t take his eyes off her. The last time her saw her she was the shortest sassiest little eight year old known to man. He was honestly speechless as the woman laid in front of him.

“I can’t believe it’s her” he mumbled as he ran his hand through his hair. “I didn’t think we’d see her again” he took in her features but a couple of things caught his eye as her jacket slipped off her shoulder revealing some nasty scars, most of which looked like burns apart from the six inch scar that was definitely from a knife. Anger ran through his veins as his blood boiled, this was his bumble bee and he was ready to find the bastard that did this to her and make him pay for laying his hands on the girl.

“Xav” James called “now isn’t the time to be thinking about revenge okay, we need to take things slow this is a lot to take in”

“Yeah you are right” Xav sighed, pushing himself to his feet. Before walking out of the office, he needed some air.

“Xavier please tell me my eyes aren’t deceiving me and that was actually Brooke I saw go into your fathers office” hi mum smiled.

“Yeah mom it is” Xavier nodded.

“And you aren’t happy about that no?” She said softly knowing the internal battle her son was having.

“I couldn’t protect her mom” he sighed not making eye contact as his mind filled with the events of that day “that day was the worse day ever, I told her I wouldn’t let anything happen to her but I didn’t follow her and she’s been through god knows what”

It was Brooke’s eight birthday party, the compound was buzzing with excitement, as they were getting everything set up for the princess of the club.

Xavier barged into Brooke’s room to find her sitting on her bed colouring some unicorn.

"Bumble you wanna to come down to the pool with me and James" Xavier grinned watching her green eyes light up causing her to drop her crayon.

"get out of my room then you big oaf" she giggled trying to push him out of the room.

Xavier grinned even though he was 5 years older, everyone knew he would do anything for Brooke, their bond was like no other and she always went to him is she was upset or needed a cuddle after having a bad dream. Within five minutes he felt a small hand grab his before being pulled towards the pool.

“Last one there smells” Brooke shouted already running off, with her panda bear safely tucked under her arms, before reaching the edge of the pool, dropping the panda on the lounge chari and jumping into the water, not wasting any time.

The hours passed and the place was filled with giggles as the three of them messed about in the pool, until Brooke was growing tired and climbed out of the water.

"I'm going to go for a walk" she grinned pulling her dress over her wet bathing suit and grabbed her panda.the bear she took everywhere since Xavier won it at the fair for her last year.

"OK B stay where we can see you" James smiled as he tackled Xavier dunking him under the water.

After about 20 minutes that’s when there was an ear piercing scream that could be heard around the compound making everyone freeze. That was Brooke’s scream. The boys clambered out of the pool so fast running over to where the scream came from but they couldn’t see anything and were soon ordered by their fathers to go wait in the clubhouse.

Xavier sighed as the memory replaced in his mind.

“I should have followed her, I should have been there to protect her. I broke my promise to her” he said blinking back the tears that had formed.

"Hey you didn't know son" his dad said putting his hand on his son's shoulders.

"The thing is she doesn't even remember us, that’s what’s killing me more than anything, she doesn’t remember her family” Xavier snapped as the tears threatened to fall. "I'm going on a ride" He muttered leaving the room. He needed to clear my head, he was future president of the Blackstar Mc and he couldn’t let people see him like this. See him so weak.

One thing caught his eye as he stood on the main steps to the club house. A perfectly white kawasaki ninja pulled up the drive but he didn’t recognise the bike nor the number plate. He was so caught up over the bike he didn’t even realise that James was now by his side.

"Xav we need to talk" James said. Xavier knew what this was going to be about. "I'm talking to you as my best friend and not how a future vp would to his future prez right" he said running his hand through his hair.

"Ok bro fire away" Xavier nodded, sparking his smoke.

"I know how much you are tearing up right now, but we all are. We just found Brooke after so many years” James said “but I know that look Xav, that’s your I want this girl to be mine look”

“I can’t help it” Xavier sighed.

"I know bro, I know" James sighed "I just want to say I am fine with you being with her and couldn't think of a better person to be with her, but please protect her and don't freak her out because there are a lot of things we are going to have to explain to her." Xavier knew where James was coming from at the end of the day she was his blood.

Suspirium (Pt.11)

Pairing: Prof!Sam x Reader

Summary: You’re in your last year of your Classics and Mordern Languages studies and you’re majoring in Latin and English. Then you get assigned to a different Latin teacher. And damn, he loves his subject. Too bad that he’s also hot. What is just a childish crush soon develops into something way more complicated.

Word Count: 1,656

Warnings: Fluff

Author’s Note: Here we go. You get to know Adam and you finally get to sort things out with Sam.

Like always, my tag lists for Sam (thereby also for this story) are OPEN

Or you catch up here: Suspirium - Masterlist

Sam's behavior had discouraged you. Of course you hadn't been so naive and had expected leaps of joy, but that cold shoulder hurt more than it should have. You'd kissed a few times, so what? Why did your heart make such a drama out of it. Besides, you had given him a chance. Actually, it was up to you to give him the cold shoulder. After all, you hadn't gone to dinner with someone else just after you kissed your student! A doubting voice in your head tried to convince you that he had the right to do so, after all you were not a couple, but you ignored it, and banished it to the dark corner of your mind from which it had emerged. Of course you should have let him explain himself, but it was understandable that you had been overwhelmed in this situation. Bitterly you thought that you would have experience in dealing with this situation next time. After all, you had tried to make up for your mistake, but he had not accepted your offer. Now it was his decision how to proceed.

You couldn't remember what you had done in the last few days, because everything was blurred to an inconsistent mush of bright colors. It was as if the rest of the world was moving faster than you. Adam had texted you again and you could no longer ignore his messages.

You had just come from Sam's lecture and frustration and anger were rumbling in your stomach, and when Adam's message arrived, you couldn't take it anymore. You quickly dialed his number. He picked up after a few seconds. "Oh, hey Y/N, how are you, darl-" "Save it, Adam." You snapped. "What do you want?" "Straight forward like always, I miss that, you know? "Oh, don't get too emotional. That never suited you. It always seemed pretended." "Touché, sweetheart. You rolled your eyes at his old pet name for you "Don't sweetheart me, Adam. Spill it, what do you want?" "This is about the company and it's serious. You should come home to discuss this." "I am home." "I'm serious. You should come back home, your true home, England. You were stubborn long enough now. We got your message! Now it's time to grow up and come home! You can't run away forever, at some point your duties will catch up with you again. That time has arrived now." He said in a calm voice, almost as if he were talking to a stubborn child. It made you incredibly angry. "I'm about to get my PhD in English and Latin, you twat. I haven't got time for funny businesses in England!" You were so angry that your British accent, which you'd been hiding for so long, suddenly slipped back between your words. You hadn't spoken with an accent for almost five years. "Latin." Snorted Adam. "You've always hung on to your fantasies," he sighed. "If you had been a little more understanding of my fantasies, which, by the way, are also called dreams, in four years, our relationship might not have ended. But I always came after my father in your life." He laughed cheerlessly. "I don't enjoy this any more than you do, Y/N. But your father asked me to call you." You snorted. "Of course he did." I snorted. "And you don't want to disappoint the big man. You're still a good little lapdog, huh?" You were so angry you bit your lip too hard and tasted blood. You had angry tears in your eyes, but you didn't want to be exposed. "Do you really think I'm coming back to England? What makes you think I'm coming back home? I would give anything never to hear from you or my father again. Let alone set foot on the ground of this country." "It's an important meeting that concerns the future of the company. And you are the future of this company, so please be reasonable, even though I know how hard this is for you." You were about to explode.

Silently the hot tears ran down your cheeks. Just the thought of your messed up family, driven by money and the future made your stomach twist. "I won't attend that bloody meeting. I know I am the future of this bloody company but I don't want to be its future! Stop threatening me or I'll get you fired, Adam. Trust me, we both know I won't hesitate." He laughed bitterly. "I know. But it's your father's orders, and he knows his daughter. And I know him." "Oh yeah? Tell him the next time he wants something from me, he can fucking call me himself. Or better yet, tell him not to call me at all." "He's as stubborn as you are and he won't let up." "Well, then, come and drag me over the ocean! Good evening, Adam!" With those words you hung up.

Your legs were wobbly and you felt sick, so you had to brace yourself against the wall and finally sat down on the stairs. With your hands, you massaged your temples while conjuring up your tears. Angrily you wiped them aside. Suddenly you heard a voice next to you. "Is everything all right?" A pair of worried hazel eyes looked at you. The voice sent a shiver down your spine. What's he doing here now? For days he didn't even look at you, and now suddenly he came? It couldn't have been worse timing. "It's all right. Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to be late for some lecture?" you asked, hoping to get rid of him, but Sam saw right through you. "You're not well." It wasn't a question, so you kept quiet.

He reached out his hand to you. "Come on." You looked at him in surprise. He gave you a shy smile, almost like when you first met him. He had heard the whole conversation from the beginning. Actually, he hadn't wanted to listen, but your sudden British accent and the tension in your voice had made him stop dead in his tracks.

"I'll take you home," he explained, his eyes glistening softly. His hand was much bigger than yours, as soon as you obeyed his request. It was warm and firm. " Don't you have a lecture to give?" you asked. He shrugged his shoulders and snorted. "It's not as if the students would mind having one less lecture." A grin played around his lips and for a brief moment everything went back to normal. Then reality caught up with you. "No, Sam. You can't skip the lecture. You haven't talked to me in days, and now all of a sudden you want to skip a lecture for me? You can't skip the lecture." It was hard for you, but you forced yourself to be reasonable. Luckily, Sam wouldn't let you go, so you overturned your decision soon enough.

"Come on." he muttered. Together you walked out onto the parking lot where you let go of Sam's hand, almost as if you'd been burned. He gave you a look and you felt regret because that's the way it would always be. You couldn't be seen with each other.

Unnoticed, you made it to your house and you unlocked the door to your apartment. Sam came up behind you as if it was the most normal thing in the world. You did not ask any further questions when he closed the door behind him and took the shoes off his feet. Around him, your apartment seemed even smaller. He seemed like a foreign body that didn't fit into the picture. He was too tall. You hung up your stuff and brushed a strand of hair from your forehead.

"Would you like something to drink?" you asked while Sam sat down on your sofa and looked around. He looked out of place and had to fold up to fit on the couch. His gaze wandered across the room as if he were trying to find something. Pictures or something that connected you to this apartment. But you knew he wouldn't find anything. You put up pictures of people you loved or cared about and wanted to see every day. Not people you wanted to banish from your life and forget. The latter was true of your family. Brooks had once asked you about your family. The silence had been enough response. Sam frowned when he realized there were no pictures.

You placed a glass of water in front of Sam and sat across from him. Immediately you grabbed a pillow and pressed it against your stomach like a shield. Sam sipped his water while his eyes still glided across the room. "I think we should talk." he muttered after he put the glass down. You nodded. "That was Cassie on Monday. She is Dean's fiancee. Well, she was his girlfriend at the time. I had to cover for Dean so he could buy her a ring. I didn't tell you because I found out on short notice. I didn't know you worked at that restaurant or--" "Or you would have just gone to another one without telling me?" you asked bitterly. Sam looked at you firmly and shook his head. "No, otherwise I would have gone to another restaurant and told you everything afterwards, just as I had planned. Which I had also tried! But you didn't give me a chance to explain myself. I was angry because you really thought I was capable of doing something like that." "Well, I'm sorry if I'm not completely rational when I see the man I love with a strange woman!" you defended yourself. You weren't aware of what you were saying until you noticed Sam's silence. You slapped your hands over your mouth. "I - oh, God, Sam - I-I-" "Me too," he said quietly. "Huh? Me what?" He smiled softly. "I love you too."
