“FUCK!”
Rafe slapped his open palm against the glass of the claw machine, making everyone jump in the near vicinity.
“Rafe, come on,” you said, biting back a smirk as you tugged on his arm. While you thought it was hilarious that he was getting so fed up over a honest to god claw machine, you didn’t need to get banned from the arcade for causing a scene. “It’s fine. It’s just a plushie.”
“But you wanted it, didn’t you?”
Rafe stared at you with raised eyebrows, his fist clutching the joystick so hard his knuckles turned white.
“I mean, yeah, but I don’t get everything I want.”
He stared you down a little harder and you rolled your eyes at him, curling your hands around your bicep.
“Come on, I’m serious. I don’t need it that badly. Just said it was cute. And it’s literally rigged to not work.”
You slid your hand in his, trying to drag him away from the claw machine, but again: Not moving a budge. Sighing loudly, you turned around to give him a look, before you stood on your tip toes to whisper into his ear.
“Take me home and I’ll give you a consolation prize for your troubles.”
“Fine,” Rafe grunted, trailing after you as you went for the exit. When you suddenly stopped in your tracks mid-walk, he nearly bowled over you, only preventing that by holding onto your waist.
“What now??”
“I gotta go pee.”
“Baby, we’re five minutes away from my house.”
“Be right back!” You called over your shoulder, seeing how Rafe threw his hands up in exasperation.
It didn’t take you long in the bathroom - doing your business and checking your make up - which was why you were extra confused to see Rafe wasn’t where you left him when you returned. Slipping your phone out of your pocket, you typed out a message to him, when you noticed a small crowd around the claw machine.
“If someone won a plushie now, he’s gonna lose his mind,” you mumbled to yourself, trying to peek in between the heads, before freezing when you saw what caused the commotion. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
Pushing yourself between the gawking people, you almost ran over a little boy in the process, before you stood in front of the claw machine, where Rafe sat on the floor, his arm stuck in the dispenser. He looked absolutely miserable.
“Seriously?”
Rafe looked up to you through his lashes, his forehead creased. You shook your head at him in disbelief, slowly lifting your phone to take a picture, and he only scowled at you.
“I was trying to get that Stitch plushie for you!”
“I didn’t ask you to stick your arm up the machine!!!”
Half an hour later, you and Rafe were sitting in his car and he was still in a mood. It had taken the employee fifteen minutes to get the screws out of the machine to get Rafe unstuck, and that left a red angry mark on his bicep, which he was still rubbing on.
“That thing is deathly, what if a kid put his arm up there?” he muttered to himself.
“Well, to be fair, your arm is like at least twice the size of a kid’s arm,” you pointed out, making him roll his eyes, though you could see the corner of his mouth twitch.
“You never complained about my arms before.”
“And I still haven’t,” you argued, pushing his hand away to gently caress the irritated skin, slowly starting to feel bad. “Does it hurt much?”
“Yeah, ‘s agonizing. You gon’ kiss it better?”
You rolled your eyes but you still placed a kiss on his bicep, leaving a lipstick stain.
“You happy now?”
Lifting your head, you raised your eyebrow at him and he only looked at you with dark eyes, before grabbing you by the nape of your neck, pulling you in for a heated kiss. You kissed him back, even letting him slip his tongue in your mouth for a second before you pulled away, hand on his chest.
“Let’s go home before you get arrested for indecent exposure.”
“Me?” Rafe muttered under his breath, but he started the engine anyway, pulling his truck out of the parking lot. As you buckled yourself up, you suddenly remembered something turning to him.
“Hey, you know you could’ve just paid them to get a plushie, right?”
“Why the hell didn’t you tell me that before I put my hand in a death trap?!”

If I Should Stay
Part 1 | . . . | Part 50 | Part 51 | Part 52
El decides to help, so Steve gets the ingredients out, measures them into a bowl, and lets her mix them together as he gets out the waffle iron. “Y’want any, Eds?” Steve asks. “Al? Rob?”
“Only if it’s easy,” Eddie says. “I’m good with just your toast if you want waffles instead.”
Robin gasps. “Don’t you dare take the toast from me.”
Eddie blinks. “Waffles are bread too, though-?”
“Not the same,” Steve and Robin say at the same time. Steve chuckles. “Robbie gets the toast, Eddie gets waffles. Alli?”
“Sure, I’ll take a waffle or two,” she agrees, grinning at him.
Steve nods, mentally calculates, sighs, and gets the flour back out. “I think we might need a bigger bowl, Ellie.”
“Oh,” she says, and stops stirring, looking at him with wide eyes. “Where are they?”
He smiles and ruffles her hair. “Nah, I’ve got it. Go ahead and keep mixing for me, ‘kay?”
“M’kay,” she agrees easily.
“Steve,” Eddie says suddenly, teasingly. “Aren’t you forgetting something?”
Steve looks at the ingredients spread out on the counter and frowns. “What?”
“Chocolate chips.”
Steve sighs, hangs his head, and trudges to the pantry to grab the bag. He opens it and throws one at Eddie. “For being annoying,” he says, winking at Eddie before turning away, snickering when Eddie yelps indignantly.
El giggles, watching them, and Steve wants to bottle the sound so he can always come right back to this moment. This is my memory, he suddenly realizes, then turns to his friends and sisters. “It can help if you have a happy memory to go hide in,” he says quietly. “If Vecna comes after you. He’s pain and wrong and bad. And if none of that exists in your happy memory, then you’ll know the second he’s in your head.”
El looks up at him curiously. “What’s your happy memory?”
“Right now,” he murmurs, pulling her into a hug and ruffling her hair. “I had a different one, before, and you can have more than one, but… yeah. This is it.”
El’s quiet for a moment before she responds. “Me too, I think.”
Steve pulls her into a proper hug and kisses the top of her head. “This is it,” he murmurs. “We’re ending it today. Remember, Ellie, we’ve got you. You’re not alone, you have all of us to help. Okay?”
“Okay,” she says, then buries her face in his chest. “‘M still scared, though.”
“Y’wanna know something?” He whispers, stroking her hair. “Me too. I’m kinda really scared. But I know we can do it.”
“Okay,” she agrees, then pulls back to look at him. “Can I have chocolate chips in my waffles?”
He laughs and ruffles her hair. “‘Course you can, Ellie. I’ll make you an extra-chocolatey one, even.”
Eddie leans forward with a leer. “Do I get an extra chocolatey one?”
Steve look him over for a second, then turns back to the batter. “You’ll get something later.”
It’s silent for a second before Eddie squeaks out, “Oh.”
El looks at him, then looks quizzically at Steve. “What does he get later? Why is he so red?”
Steve chuckles. “If you remember this when I get back to my time, I’ll tell you. Deal?”
“Deal,” she nods, then looks at the chocolate chips. “Do we add those in now?”
Steve looks at the batter and hums. “I’d say so,” he says, turning the waffle iron on. “As many as you want.”
He can’t help but think through their plan as he waits for the waffles to cook. “Max is still in California, right?” He asks Robin quietly. “We’ll have to make sure the boys make friends with her.”
Robin hums. “Won’t they anyways? They find out about her because of her high score at the arcade, right?”
Steve grins at her. “Don’t let them fool you. They were enemies at first.”
Robin gasps and leans forward like it’s important gossip. Steve thinks this is part of the reason she’s his soulmate. “Talk. Now.”
He shrugs. “Not much to tell, I think.” He takes a cooked waffle out of the iron and pours more batter in. “Max kinda hated them at first. Bitchy California attitude, y’know? And they’re weirdos who decided to follow her around.”
Robin snorts. “Definitely your kids.”
He gently pops her leg with a towel. “Shuddup. I’m pretty sure the friendship only happened ‘cause of freaky Upside Down stuff, but now you can’t imagine the Party without her, right?”
Robin chews her lip. “Yeah. Y’know what I think I’m gonna miss a little? Scoops Troop.”
Steve grins crookedly at her. “You’re the only person I’d get back in that uniform for, Robbie.”
“Aww,” she says, pretending to swoon while holding her heart.
“Uniform?” Eddie interjects.
Steve groans. “I should’ve never said anything. In a couple of years there’s a mall built, called Starcourt. I told you about the Russians, right? That’s the mall they were under. And in that mall was a nautical-themed ice cream shop.”
“Complete with costumes,” Robin chimes in. “Absolutely obscene.”
“It was terrible,” Steve agreed. “We measured, right? Your shorts were longer than mine?”
Robin laughs. “I forgot we did that!”
“And, uh.” Eddie pauses. “You wouldn’t happen to have that uniform still, would you?”

Chance and the Community Chest
@bellsandmischief phic phight phic!
.
“I don't know, Tuck.”
“Come on, Danny.  You said it yourself.  There's not much else to do on a Friday night since ghosts trashed the mall.  And the arcade.  And the theater.  And the mini-golf course.  And the bowling alley.  And the ice rink.  And the roller rink.”
“You don't even like skating.”
“And Floody Waters.  And the park.  And the Nasty Burger.  Both of them.  And the McMasters.”
“We wouldn't be able to hang out in a McMasters anyway.”
“It's the principle of the thing.  The park is closed, too–”
“The park isn't closed.  It's just that the Amity Park New Religion Convention is happening there.”
“Do you really want to go to the park when it's full of cultists?”
“I don't know that it's fair to call them cultists–”
“One of the groups literally calls themselves the Coalition of Universally Lateral Thinkers.”
“No.  That has to be a joke.”
“It isn’t.  I've looked them up.  They've got some kind of Scientology-level crap going on.  They're convinced that you can astral project yourself to the Ghost Zone and travel to other realities that way.”
“Well, I mean, you can, but–”
“Wait, what?  Stop.  Stop walking.  What do you mean, ‘you can?’  Are you saying that astral projection is an actual thing?”
“Yeah?  Is that not what I said?”
“Right.  So.  Should we, uh, stop them?  Is that why you've been so weird about coming?”
“I haven't been weird about coming.  I've been questioning your decision to bring a dozen binders full of rules for a game when we've never been here before.”
“Excuse you, these are the latest Dragonpath PDFs that I got for the low, low price of free.  And there are thirteen of them, not twelve.”
“Yeah, and then you made up the price difference by making color copies.  Seriously, Tucker, I think community board game night is more like Monopoly and Scrabble, not, uh.  Something with fifty pounds of rules.  And no board.”
“Actually,” said Chance Counter, unable to resist butting in despite his eavesdropping being quite successful so far, “‘board game’ in this case is more shorthand for– What is that?”
He’d been listening in, but he’d thought the teens were exaggerating, as teens tended to do.  Nothing had prepared him for the enormous stacks of white plastic three ring binders.
“Fifty pounds of rules for Dragonpath,” said the white one, deadpan.  He was the one carrying most of the books.  “Weren’t you listening?”
“Oh,” said Chance.  “Yeah.  Are you the only ones planning on playing… that.”  
“I wasn’t planning on playing anything in particular, Tucker just needed help bringing them over from his house.  I’d be perfectly happy with Monopoly or, I don’t know, that one where you’re building stuff on an island.”
“Catan?” suggested Chance.  
“Could be,” said the boy.  Thinking back on the overheard conversation, Chance was pretty sure his name was Danny.  
“I can’t believe it,” said Tucker.  “I’ve been abandoned.  Abandoned by my own friend.  Abandoned!  For what’s objectively the worst board game ever.”  He almost dropped the binders, but his friend shored up his stack with his hip.  
“What, why is Catan the worst?”
“Not Catan!  Monopoly!”
“Why is Monopoly the worst?”
“Because, as our dear friend Sam would say, it signifies and symbolizes the ultimate capitalist hellscape.  And also it causes fights.”
“I don’t think Sam would say that.”
“You don’t think I’d say what?” asked a girl who had just walked through the door of the community center.  “Oh, hi.  Are you one of the organizers?”
“I sure am,” said Chance, smiling.  “My name is Chance Counter.  We’re right in here.”  He gestured behind himself, into the room where he’d just finished setting up the last of the old folding tables.  He hoped they’d withstand Tucker’s massive tomes.  “You three are a little on the early side, but our regulars should start coming in soon enough.”
“You might get some extras,” said Sam, walking past him.  “Basically everywhere else is torched.  Ghosts.”
“It’s not only the ghosts.  There’s also the construction and the convention–”
“But it’s mostly the ghosts.  By the way did you see that one of the groups set up in the park has an acronym that literally spells ‘cult.’”
“Did everyone know this before me?” asked Danny.  He circled Chance and deposited his load on the nearest table.  It creaked alarmingly.  “How much math do you need to know in order to play this, anyway?”
“Less than Monopoly,” said Tucker, also dropping his binders on the table.  “Look, man, we can basically play Doomed with these rules.”
“Why would we do that when we can already, you know, just play Doomed?”
“Because we can do things that we can’t do in Doomed.  Trust me, it’s going to be great.”
Danny blinked down at the books.  “Look, I like a good TTRPG as much as the next guy, but this is a bit extreme.  Sam, will you play Monopoly with me?”
“Sure,” said Sam, sliding the box out from the stack of games on the central table.  
“Sam!  You were supposed to rail against the greed and corruption of capitalist states where monopolies are allowed to form!”
“I can do that and still enjoy a fictional monopoly,” said Sam.  “I get to be the race car.”
“I want the dog, then.”
“You two are horrible.”
“And our battle will be glorious,” said Danny.  “Should we wait for the other people, or will they not want to play Monopoly?”
“Oh, our regulars are very easy-going.  Most of them will go with whatever is set up, although we do have an RPG group that meets every other week.  They mostly play Eldritch Endeavors, though.”
Tucker groaned.  “I want the boot.”
“I sense a butt kicking joke approaching, but would you really kick a dog?  A doggy?  A cute little puppy?”
“I hate you.”
Chance heard the community center door open again. He poked his head back out into the hallway.  “Andrew!” he said, as the teens mumbled something about sense.  “Great to see you.  We don’t usually get you on the first Friday.”
Andrew, who was tall, thin, and sported a goatee, paused.  “The first Friday?”
“Lost track of the days, huh?  Well, might as well make the most of it.  We’ve got some kids setting up a game of Monopoly back there.”
“Yes, I suppose I might as well,” said Andrew.  He pulled off his coat, folded it over his arm, and stopped halfway into the room.  “You!”
“You!” replied Danny.  
“Chance, you really can’t allow this poetry-destroying hoodlum in here!”
“I said I was sorry!  And then you attacked me!”
“It was my magnum opus!” 
“Hey!  Hey!  This is a community game night,” said Chance.  “The center policy is that everyone is welcome here unless they start something here, okay?”
“What about restraining orders?” asked Danny.  
“Do you have one?”
“... No.”
“Then I don’t see how that matters.  Now, you don’t have to play together–”
“Oh, but I will,” said Andrew, pulling a chair up to the table.  “I’ll take any avenue to give this brat the beating he so richly deserves.”
“Oh, it’s on.”
“Uh, could we maybe tone down the smack talk as well?  Maybe to something that wouldn’t get you arrested when taken out of context?”
Andrew simmered.  Danny glared.  
“Hi, Chance, what’ve we got– What are you doing here?”
“Star?” asked Sam, incredulously.  
“Mikey?” asked Tucker, more incredulously.  
“Oh, uh, hi, guys,” said Mikey, shyly.  
Danny looked between the two of them.  “Did you guys not know that they’re dating or something?”
“How do you know that we’re dating?” demanded Star.  
“We’re keeping it secret!” said Mikey, horrified and loud enough that any secrecy was most likely moot.  
“Not very well.”
Star swallowed visibly.  “If you tell anyone–” 
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, no threats during community game night, please,” said Chance.  “My heart can’t take it.”
“Who would we even tell?” asked Tucker.  “We’re social pariahs.  Hey, Mikey, how do you feel about Dragonpath?”
“Third edition is better.  And Eldritch Endeavor is better than all of them.”
“You’re dead to me.”
“Aw, Tucker, I thought I was dead to you.”
“Anyway, this is the first Friday,” said Star.  “Not RPG night.  Is this the set with the purse?”
“Don’t think so,” said Danny, peering into the box.”
“I’ll get it,” said Mikey, moving towards the stack of game boxes where the second Monopoly set was hiding.  “Is anyone the iron yet?”
“The what?” asked Tucker.  
“The clothes iron,” said Mikey.  “I like the irony.”
“Oh, you mean the useless technological throwback.”
“I iron some of my clothes,” said Sam.  
“Of course you do,” said Tucker, shaking his head.  “Of course you do.”
“I would like to play the game, now,” said Andrew.
Chance clapped his hands together.  “So, Danny, why don’t you start us off, since you were the first one in?”
“Mm, yeah,” said Danny.  “Let me just finish dealing out Mikey’s money.”  He set down a few more bills, then shoved them over to where Mikey had just sat down.  “Okay.  Dice?”  Tucker handed them over, muttering imprecations.  “And… seven.  That’s… one… two… three… four… five… six… seven.  Chance.  Erm.  Chance card, I mean.  So, let’s see here… ‘Take a walk on the Boardwalk. Advance token to Boardwalk.’”
There was a wave of quiet as Danny happily paid the bank four hundred Monopoly dollars and set the Boardwalk deed card down in front of himself.  He looked up.  “What?”
“Danny,” said Sam.  “This is nothing personal, but you know that we all have to destroy you now, right?”
Danny’s eyes narrowed.  “Bring it.”

I Wish You Would
Tumblr media
Pairings: Tangerine x gn!civilian!drunk!reader
Tags/Warnings: cursing/language, alcohol alcohol consumption, drunk character, mention of gambling/betting, bar atmosphere, kissing/make out, mentions of fire arms/weapons
Word Count: 5.3K
Summary: You are drunk. Not “black out and forget the entire night “ drunk, but white girl at the club with her friends drunk. One of your bestest friends is getting married soon and tonight you and the rest of your eccentric friend group are club/bar hopping to celebrate the engagement! Your friend group told you to think about it like the bachelorette party before the bachelorette party. Whatever that means… The group isn’t a big group, only about seven people, but the seven people all come from various backgrounds. Three of your friends come from pretty well off families and happened to be in university for law school. One of your friends works for some huge tech company with something to do with security. One of them comes from a line of surgeons and happens to be in residency for surgery. Your best friend and bride-to-be comes from an extremely wealthy and famous family, you aren’t really sure what for, but you know it has to do with tycoons and business and yada yada. And then there was you. You were in university too, at the same establishment as the rest of the group, but you didn’t come from lines of money. You were in school for education. 
Various backgrounds or not, your bestie for the restie wants to go absolutely ballistic and celebrate her girlfriend finally popping the question, so of course your study buddy group just has to go out! With the intentions of bar and club hopping, you all end up at an arcade? Or a bowling alley? You aren’t really sure, but the place has heaps of alcohol, arcade games, a place to bowl, mini golf, and also some cute patrons….
************************************************************************
You honestly could not believe that you had agreed to this. You had been friends with your group for almost five years and you had always said you would do anything for them, but you never thought it meant being out since about 7:00 PM celebrating Ava May’s proposal. When you had gotten the notification that afternoon with an image attached, you were hoping that her partner, Jordan, had finally popped the question and you were right. And of course the groupchat had blown up.
┎┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┒
“Girls, Gays, & Daddies $$$”
Leoni: SHUT THE FUCK UP DID THEY REALLY PROPISE THIS TIME!!>>??!>!? Mateo: here comes leon with the typos 🙄 BUT OMG CONGRATS AVA!!!!!!! Camilia: HOOOOOOLYYYYY SHIT!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!! THEY HAD THE FUCKING BALLSSSSS You: OMG YESS!!!!! WHEN’S THE WEDDING!!?? Elijah boo: FORGET the wedding!!!!! bitch, when are we CELEBRATING!!!!!! Naomi: omg can we PLEASE go out tonight!!!!???  Wrenster: omg ava congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it took them long enough!!!!!! Ava Bear: omg y’all already KNOW we’re going out tonight!!!!!! b @ my house 5pm SHARP troops 🫡
┖┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┚
Of course five o’clock came, and everyone in the group chat was at Ava’s house. You all got to congratulate Jordan and Ava on the engagement, and say hello to both their family’s, but quickly carried Ava away to party the night away. That was of course after all seven of you pregamed getting ready.
The group was a close knit one. You all were giggling and laughing and dancing around each other while getting ready, raiding Ava’s closet and her accessories and checking yourselves in the mirrors. Everyone had gone for outfits that made them stand out, but complemented their features. You had ended up in some brightly colored crop top that Ava had shoved into your hands, your sneakers, and some designer jeans that Mateo had said would have your ass looking like you did 500 squats a day. You had laughed and rolled your eyes at that. You were pretty sure Mateo just wanted you to feel sexy. 
The rest of the group had picked similar outfits. Some exposing skin, other’s exposing less skin but featuring skin-tight clothing pieces. Some had added accessories to their hair, their neck, their wrists and more. With six other bodies dancing around, you honestly hadn’t gotten a great look at everyone’s outfits – but you figured it didn’t matter anyway because by the end of the night most of those outfits would probably look a lot different from how they looked currently. And once everyone was ready, you all headed towards Ava’s car where a driver was waiting. And you all climbed in and pregamed some more.
Half of the group tended to be “partiers”not crazy party goers, but they liked to spend time when they could out having a good time. That didn’t really happen to be up your alley. You were a little more introverted than your friend group, especially since you didn’t necessarily have the same funds your friends did. The group loved paying your way through parties though and always made sure you were included, but the combination of feeling bad and not loving the party scene meant you didn’t go out with them as much as they probably would’ve liked you to. But this night was different. Everyone in the group had already sternly told you that tonight you and Ava were not spending a dime on anything. Mateo telling you that tonight that they were celebrating Ava’s engagement and also the rare occasion of you going all out tonight with them. 
You didn’t disagree.
And that’s how you and your friend group ended up at some club? Arcade? Bowling alley? Bar? You weren’t sure what to call it, but the place seemed to have it all.. There was a bar with many-a-drinks, bowling alley lanes, an arcade, neon minigolf, laser tag, and televisions everywhere, each featuring a different sporting event which you assumed was for people betting on games. 
It was loud, and dark, but also brightly lit all at the same time. You were cold, but kept comfortable with the warmth of your friend group buzzing around you. You were very out of your element. You would’ve been slightly uncomfortable if you hadn’t already had about seven? No, you think eight? You weren’t sure, but you and the rest of the group had a fair amount of alcohol in you. 
Right then, everything seemed a little fuzzy. You had glanced at your phone and thought you had read some time around 11:00 PM, but with Rihanna blasting over the speakers in the building, it was a little hard to concentrate. 
The group was currently at a bar-like table. Mateo, Elijah, Ava, and Naomi were currently on their fourth round of bowling with Ava still somehow in the lead. Leon, Wren and Camilia had snuck away from the group either to get more drinks or maybe to play mini golf, you really couldn’t remember. 
Your glossed over gaze was disturbed by Mateo standing up and stretching as long as he could, his arms reaching up a little revealing a bit of his stomach. 
“Okay, I am going back to the bar to get another drink, anyone else coming?” He said, eyes bouncing around the faces at the table. Nobody responded as they all seemed to be involved with something else at the time, so you stood up quickly.
“Mmmmmmm, I’ll come with Matty!” You smiled and trailed after him as he led the way to the bar.
“You know there’s some cuties here, you should try and chat one up.” He says, side eyeing you as you both arrive at the bar to look over what you want.
You roll your eyes and playfully push his shoulder. “That would be a grand idea except I’m drunker than a skunk currently and we’re here to celebrate Ava, not find me a date.” 
Mateo rolls his eyes as he orders both of your drinks and collects them. 
“Okay, yeah we are celebrating Ava, but you know good and damn well if I told that girl you saw a hot guy looking your way that she would jump on the idea of you making a move tonight.” Mateo chuckles as he finishes his sentence and starts walking you both back to the table, curving through the different people.
“I know, but tonight I’m just hanging out with you guys. I’m honestly shocked that nobody has attracted any spare wild men to the table with how loud and obnoxious we’re being tonight.” You laugh, a tiny hiccup slipping out of your mouth.
As you and Mateo round the corner to your table, Mateo sees the group before you and busts out into laughter. “Oh my dear, have you truly jinxed yourself tonight.” He walks the few steps to the table, puts the two drinks down. “Hellooooo boys!”
When Mateo steps aside, you're greeted by the eyes of two men who look like they don't belong here. They both are extremely attractive, but both appear to be in suits. Like suit suits. Like they could be working at the bank. You recognize the two as workers for Ava’s father. Bodyguards. Or honestly the word babysitters fit the situation too. ‘Babysitters with bullets,’ you think to yourself as you look down at one of the men’s waists, catching a glimpse of a not-so-hidden weapon.
Your thought is cut off by that said man speaking and your eyes trail from his waist to his face. He holds eye contact with you before speaking. “Sorry to crash this here lil shindig, but you lot should be wrapping all this,” he twirls a finger around in the air, referencing the group, “up pretty soon. It’s getting late.” 
Once he finishes his sentence, it’s now his turn to look at you. You watch his eyes look up and down, scanning what felt like every inch of your body, before he looks back to Ava as she begins to speak.
“Oh my god! Look, I know Daddy sent you two to “look after me”’ Ava uses huge air quotes, “but I’m old enough to make sure I don’t get fucking dragged off drunk off my fucking ass. We’re just celebrating, just chillax, yeah?” Ava lets out a giggle as she clearly slurs her words and then playfully slaps the shoulder of the man that hadn’t spoken yet. 
“Come on Tangerine, just let them be, yeah? They’re not doing any harm and they're all in one spot.” The man says, putting a hand on Tangerine’s shoulder, giving it a little squeeze and shake. If you remember right, you’re pretty sure he goes by Lemon. Or that’s what you’ve heard Ava’s father call him.
“Yeah Tangerine! Just let us chilllllll” Naomi drags out the last word as she tries to put a hand on his chest. He takes a step back away from her, his face slightly puckering up as it seems like he stifles a face of annoyance.
 You sit down next to Ava, across from where the open seat in front of Tangerine is.
“Look. Ava’s father gave clear instructions to make sure she doesn’t make any fucked decisions tonight. And seeing as sh–” Tangerine’s speech is cut off once more, this time surprisingly by Elijah.
“Look man, if your concern is making sure Ava isn’t dead in a ditch, why don’t you two just pull a seat up at the table. It isn’t like we’re going anywhere else tonight, just fucking sit and relax. Have a drink!” Elijah almost barks this out before returning to the game of bowling. He’s currently in second place, behind Ava and you know he’s dying to beat her. 
Lemon gives a nod before sitting down at the bar, grabbing Ava’s half finished beer and taking a swig. Tangerine on the other hand reluctantly takes a seat in front of you. You watch his demeanor once he’s sat. It seems like he’s avoiding your gaze, and you’re not sure why. You watch his face as he observes the people around you. You can’t tell if he’s just surveying the place or if he’s just uncomfortable. His body language looks stiff and his hands are clasped on the table in front of him.
“You have pretty eyes…” The sentence slips out of your mouth as you stare at him, rubbing your own eye as you feel yourself getting a little tired. You were hoping to break the silence. “Also pretty arms.” You let out a little giggle as you prop your head on your hand, continuing to stare at the pretty man sitting across from you.
You talking seems to bring him back to the group at hand. Or at least brings his attention to you. He gives you a weird look, seeming to calculate what to say. “And you seem pretty drunk, love.” He reaches across the table, grabbing your drink and taking a sip from it before returning it to you. “And that’s a pretty strong drink you got.”
You give yet another giggle, reaching for your drink and taking a sip. You were drunk all right, but you needed more liquid courage if you were going to be in the presence of this man. Your brain had fallen quiet and your friends seemed to not be coming to your rescue in this one. 
You recall a comment from Mateo earlier in the night about ‘letting you do your thing if you ever came across a hot ass man tonight.’ 
You had been around Tangerine and Lemon before. From what you could recall, they weren’t truly employed by Ava’s father. You’re pretty sure it was more like a freelance thing? They weren’t always around Ava and her family, but they were hired common enough for you to know exactly who they are and remember Tangerine. 
The first time you had ever met the two, the group was at a soccer game in the city. You were in Ava’s family’s suite at the game having a blast. You remember spotting Tangerine and asking Ava just who the tall man was exactly. After that, any time Tangerine and Lemon were hired to babysit Ava, you always basically gawked at the man. After Tangerine and Lemon left for the room, your friend group, especially Ava liked to tease you. Ava and Mateo knew you had a thing for Tangerine. Ava liked to get her father to hire the two as much as possible, especially if you were present. It meant you saw him often. It meant you thought about him often. You thought his curls were pretty and you could imagine what it would feel like to run your fingers through his beautiful hair. You could recall the accent he had. You thought the tattoos he had were attractive, or maybe it was just because they were on his arms. And god did he have pretty arms. 
You’re once again brought out of daydreaming, this time by Naomi sitting down by Tangerine and placing a hand on the back of his shoulder, and one hand on his chest. You don’t listen to what she’s saying, but by the look on their face, you know she’s flirting. And hard. You hear her let out a giggle as she makes some sort of comment about the man before you swap from sipping your drink to straight up downing it. 
You slam the cup down on the table and shoot up. “I’m off to get another drink..” You twirl around, maybe a little too fast, and begin heading for the bar.
You know the announcement of your departure was a little stern. You don’t know why, but it almost got on your nerves that Naomi was making a pass at the man. You let the jealousy stay for a second before rationalizing the thought. 
‘I’m not actually jealous. It’s late and I’m drunk, it isn’t that big of a deal, I’m just being silly.’ You think to yourself as you arrive at the bar, propping both elbows up onto the ledge and waiting for a bartender to notice you. You wipe your face hoping to clear your mind. 
While waiting your eyes slowly are drawn to one of the television hung above the bar – some wrestling match was going on. You notice the other people at the bar, their eyes glued to the screen. ‘I don’t understand why they are so invested.’ You think to yourself as you turn your attention back to in front of you, looking at the drink choices before noticing a man standing to your right. You turn your head and are happily met by the pretty blue eyes of a curly headed man.
You grin.
“Tangeriiinnnneeeeee” You draw out his name. You aren’t quite sure if it is on purpose or if you’re just drunk, but it didn’t matter as you watched the man’s lips twist into a smirk itself.
“Interested in the match, are we?” He asks, nodding back to the television.
“Mmmmmm, not quite. I’m not much of a sports fan.” You give a glance at the match before turning your attention back to him, noticing his shirt. He usually had it buttoned up all the way, as professional as you can get. But tonight, you notice at least two, maybe three buttons that seem to be open. You can see a tattoo peeking out from under his shirt. You take a deep breath before your eyes return to his. He had watched you check him out yet again.
You clear your throat before asking, “Are you a fan?”
He doesn’t break eye contact. “I am tonight.” 
A noise escapes your throat, almost a hum. He still hadn’t broken eye contact. Maybe it was just you, but it seemed like it had gotten hard to breathe. You felt like you hadn’t taken a breath in ages. “And why’s that?” You ask, still looking at him and still maintaining eye contact. 
In the moment you felt like the only thing in the room was him. 
“Got money on the small guy. Everyone likes an underdog story, yeah?” The smirk returns to his face.
You nod your head in agreement. Once again, your brain has gone blank. The sudden movement of his lips catches your attention as your eyes quickly dart down to his lips, and quickly dart back up to his eyes. He had watched that happen too.
As your eyes meet, your body forces you to take a deep breath. You notice he does the same. Maybe his breath had also been caught in his throat. You realize the sound of the world around you also comes back to you. 
You’re brought back to the real world completely as a bartender greets you and Tangerine, asking what you two will have. But before you can answer for yourself, Tangerine speaks for you.
“Water for this one, and whisky for me.” He says before telling the bartender exactly what he wants. As soon as the bartender turns to go grab the materials, you turn back to Tangerine.
“I can’t order for myself now?” You jokingly ask, your voice getting a little higher in disbelief as you raise both your eyebrows in fake disbelief.
He looks at you and gives a scoff. “You can, but I don’t know if you should be at this particular time darling.” He gives you a sly smile, one probably meant to comfort you. 
And you lose your breath again and you avert your eyes. You thought you had gotten confident, but you weren’t expecting him to call you that. You clear your throat. And start to mess with a laminated menu on the bar.
“So why exactly are you here tonight? You know this isn’t the first stop we’ve made, right?” You ask, trying to change the subject. Or at least to get him talking.
“We’ve been hanging back most of the night. Nothin’ suspicious has happened, but a few o’ you idiots are getting a little too far gone. Ava’s father sent us specifically to watch her. The rest of the group is just an added bonus. Don’t wanna make any rich parents mad, do we?” He asks the last part rhetorically. 
This time he’s the one looking away. He takes a drink while looking off. You can’t read the expression on his face, but it isn’t quite neutral. He looks like something is on his mind. 
“You don’t seem all that excited to be babysitting a bunch of adults. Why do you even take the jobs offered by Ava’s family? I assume there’s other things you could be doing.” After speaking you realize your tone seemed a little snippy. You hadn’t meant for it to come out rudely, but it did just a tad. You really were on a roll tonight. 
You didn’t want to necessarily influence the man to stop taking the jobs, but you were curious. You could tell by what he was wearing that he had money. In previous interactions, you had drawn the same conclusion. You weren’t extremely up to date with the latest fashion trends when it came to wealth, but you did know that the watch on his wrist looked very similar to one that Elijah had. And you knew it wasn’t cheap. Plus the extensive wardrobe the man seemed to have also led you to believe he was pretty well off for himself.
He half turns his head back to you, side eyeing you with a scrunched eyebrow.
 “A little touchy on the subject are we?” He asks you before setting his drink down. He rubs his chin before turning his face to yours.
 “Ava’s father pays well. The jobs easy, quick and usually clean. Easy money.” He pauses and you watch his eyes move down to your lips and back up to your eyes and then down to the drink back in his hand. “It's an added bonus that sometimes you idiots can be entertaining.” 
“Well. I’ll agree that they – we – can be quite entertaining. I can imagine it can be a little obnoxious at times.” A few times come to mind.
Like this year's New Years Eve party held at Ava’s. Camilia had drunk way too much champagne and had eaten quite a few shrimps. She was in the midst of a nasty break up with a pretty popular actor and had seen the reports of him attending a party that night with his co-star. A smile comes to your face as you remember the look of absolute horror on Tangerine’s face when Camilia had thrown up on him. You remember Lemon’s gasp.
Or the one time you, Ava, and Leon had somehow ran into one of Leon’s father’s old clients who had recently gotten out of prison. You three had been out shopping at the beach when the man confronted the group. Calmly at first, but very quickly drew a gun and began yelling at you three. Tangerine and Lemon had resolved the situation as quickly as the man had appeared.
Or one of the most recent events. For Ava’s birthday, she had thrown a huge, fancy party out of the country. Some place in Ireland, with almost a Bridgerton theme. Somehow you and Tangerine ended up in a room on the outskirts of a castle while the party was booming in the distance. You remember how close he had gotten to you. How close his face had gotten to yours. How he had stared at your lips for what felt like ages as you spoke. You remember the silence that happened after you had finished speaking, and the way his eyes darted quickly back to your eyes to just as quickly return to your lips. You also remember the way he had drawn away from you as Jordan had busted into the room looking for Ava. You weren’t one hundred percent sure, but you were pretty confident that if she hadn’t done so, Tangerine would have kissed you.
“I wouldn’t say ‘obnoxious’. Not all of you at least.” Tangerine says. He seems to have a distant look in his eyes. You wonder if the memory of you two alone in Ireland had come to mind. You hope it had. 
Eventually you and Tangerine began reminiscing on some of the funnier moments that had happened while him and Lemon had been present. 
You two had moved from the bar to a small table in a corner. Tangerine was still able to see the rest of your group, most importantly Ava. Even then, it wouldn’t have mattered anyways as Ava had convinced Lemon to join the current round of bowling. The group didn’t seem like they were going anywhere and neither did Lemon. 
The place was still as loud as ever, but in the corner it was a little easier to hear each other. The neon lights that were reflecting off of most everything in the building was giving Tangerine a glow. The lights were giving his hair a darker complexion than normal, while highlighting his blue eyes. If you weren’t sitting so close to him, you wouldn’t have noticed the details. But fortunately for you, you were. 
You were close enough to him to smell his cologne. He smelled almost like citrus. Or maybe like sandalwood? Or maybe like the inside of a linen closet? You weren’t exactly sure of the scent profile, but he smelled good. He smelled familiar. 
“Do you remember Ireland? That birthday party was insane! I don’t know how you two kept up with Ava that week, it felt like every ten seconds we were going somewhere new!” You let out a small laugh remembering just how crazy it had been. 
Tangerine rolls his eyes with a smile on his face. “You honestly think I would forget? I felt like I needed a leash on that girl. I wish she would have stayed around me or Lemon like you had during the trip.” His eyes light up a little as he scans your face. 
You hadn’t realized you had been so obvious on that trip. Most of the friend group had paired off in Ireland and you remember hoping to talk more to Tangerine on the trip. You hadn’t made it your priority of course, but during down times or sightseeing activities you had hoped to hear his thoughts.
The air got thin once more. You realized that you both were leaning in towards each other. You were sitting in your chair sideways. Your right elbow propped on the table, with your hand propping your head up turned towards Tangerine, your back turned to the group’s table. Tangerine was turned towards you, almost leaning into your space with his right arm draped over the back of your chair, his hand hung in the open air between the back of your chair and your side. His left arm draped into his lap. Your legs sandwiched in between his. 
You hadn’t realized just how physically close you too were. Talking with him and drinking water seemed to have sober you up some. Realizing how close you were to him also helped to sober you up in the moment. Your eyes trailed to his lip as you went to speak.
“Well, I’d never pass up the chance to be around you all day.” You say, a little softly as you had grown even more distracted by each and every centimeter of his face. You think about how soft his skin would feel in your hands. 
You readjust yourself, trying to redirect your thoughts. You sit up a little straighter and let your hand that had been previously holding up your head fall into your lap. It unintentionally brushes Tangerine’s knee and you watch it slightly move, almost shocked by the touch. Sitting up like you were now meant that your face was even closer to his. You really hadn’t realized how much you two were leaning into each other. 
You're staring at Tangerine’s lips when your eyes rush back to his as he places a hand right above your knee. You watch as he begins to lean in, his eyes on your lips. Before you can even process that his hand is practically on your thigh. He stops an inch away from you, his eyes moving up to meet your glance. His eyes meet yours for only a second before they move back down to your lips, and once again back to your eyes. You could feel him let a breath out, nearly a scoff.
“You’re extremely drunk.” He says dryly. and goes to pull away from you.
“I was dead sober in Ireland.” You quickly remark before retaking the distance he had put between the two of you. You plant a quick kiss on his lips. 
“I haven’t forgotten about Ireland either.” You say softly as you move one of his curls behind his ear that had fallen when you kissed him a little too forcefully, the fear of missing another chance had brought some adrenaline into your system. Your hand makes its way to the back of his head as you begin to play with his hair. “I’ve been hoping you would be around more after that trip. Especially after the party.”
The hand Tangerine had set previously on your knee quickly moves to your face as he gently goes to hold your chin before lifting it up. This time h initiates the kiss. He’s more gentle than you were. 
You grin into the kiss, only slightly thinking about how contrasting the situation was. The harsh man kisses gently, yet you, a more soft person kissed him like you were a thirteen year old kissing their crush at the school dance, afraid to be seen.
His hand moves from your chin to hold your head as he pulls you in more. Once he’s pulled you in as close as he can, his hand trails to your waist where it rests. Both of your hands quickly move back to his head where you pull him in closer.
His mustache tickles you, but you don’t care. All you could think about was how his head felt in your hands. How you wanted to be closer to him. How his hand was pulling your waist in. How his lips felt against yours. How you felt like you were breathing for the first time this entire night. 
Your breath hitches as you feel his fingers dig into your waist. You feel yourself becoming warm as your attention is drawn to the fact that his skin is touching yours. Both of Tangerine’s hands are now holding on to your waist, pulling you in even more if it’s possible. One of his hands begins to trail up your back. It feels like he’s trying to find a better way to pull you closer to him, but at this point if you two got any closer you would be in his lap. 
You accidentally let out what you think is supposed to be a gasp as one of his hands runs back down your spine, returning to your waist once more. This doesn’t faze Tangerine as he takes the short break from your lips to move both his hands now to either side of your head as he pulls you back into the kiss, not without a short and breathy ‘shit’ that escapes his mouth. 
You aren’t sure who initiates the harsher kiss, but you didn’t care. As Tangerine bites your lower lip, you let out a breath and you grab onto the neckline of his unbuttoned shirt. Tangerine plants one last hard kiss onto your lips he pulls away, and leans into your ear before.
“I’d slow your breathing down, we’re about to have a visitor, yeah?” He plants a kiss on your cheek and pulls his head back to look at you before wiping your lips to get rid of some spit that had been left from when you two had separated. “Gotta make sure you look good too, dear.” 
He takes a deep breath in, clears his throat and seats back against his chair, while running both of his hands over his head in an attempt to put his hair back in place after you had tussled it. He then leans back in his chair, giving a smile at the unwelcome visitor.
You wipe your hands over your face, and then over your own hair in an attempt to self soothe. You take a deep breath yourself as you try to slow your breathing and your heart rate. You wipe your hands down the thighs of your jeans before turning to meet whoever was coming towards you.
“Hey, you guys ready to go? Lemon is rounding up the rest of the group now. Ava and Elijah finally got bored with bowling.” Naomi says before finishing the drink she had in hand.
“Right. We’ll be over shortly.” Tangerine says, raising his eyebrows at Naomi and turning his attention back to you. You give her a smile and a nod to acknowledge her. As she goes to walk back to the table, you turn yourself back towards Tangerine.
“Glad we weren’t interrupted before this happened. Hope it was worth the wait.” Tangerine says giving you a sly smile.
You let out a half hearted laugh. If you thought nothing was in your brain beforehand, it was even more empty now. All you could think of now was when you would be alone with him again. 
“How long did you say you and Lemon were staying this time around?” You manage to get out, looking up at him. You didn’t want to get your hopes up, but you also wanted to do this again. 
Tangerine chuckles as he fixes his shirt from where you had grabbed it as he goes to answer, “I’m in the city for a couple of days. Off work too.” He tucks a curl behind his ear. “You have something in mind that could keep me busy?”
You nod your head as you give out a short laugh. “Ask me out to a proper dinner and I think we could figure something out."

summary: it's birthday time! noah's been on a mini tour, will he make it back in time for y/n's birthday dinner?
part one part two part three
as promised he stayed the rest of the week with her. it mostly consisted of them staying in and learning more about each other, in a different, more romantic way than they had previously.
then he had to go for a few weeks to perform various shows. he desperately wanted her to go with them but she just smiled and said that she needed to focus on her schoolwork and she wouldn’t do that if she was around everyone. he worried he wouldn’t be back in time for her birthday dinner that scarlett planned every year. 
every year their group of friends get dressed up in their best and go out to dinner. a lot of times after dinner they’d end up at a bowling alley that was half bowling, half arcade. 
it was something that she looked forward to every year and he was worried a majority of the group wouldn’t be able to make it due to commitments they had. 
“noah, it’s honestly okay,” she said over the phone one night after a show. he could tell she was trying her best to sound nonchalant but that she was sad about it. “if it was a dumb reason i’d be upset but this is far from dumb in my book. besides, we can always just push it to another date. doesn’t have to be on my exact birthdate.”
“yes it does!” he heard scarlett’s voice shout, causing him to chuckle. 
“she’s right. it’s tradition,” he said. “we’re gonna try our best to be there, doll. it mostly depends on how travel goes.”
“i know. maybe i should’ve come with you like you wanted. so you wouldn’t stress as much about it,” she said, quietly.
“doll, even though i desperately want you here with me, i’d still stress about it.”
“it’s not so important that you should stress this much though.”
“i’m going to pretend i didn’t just hear you say that the day my girlfriend was born isn’t important.”
“how very dare she!” jolly’s voice shouted from the other side of the couch on the bus.
“hear that? you’ve upset the swede.”
she was silent. 
“doll, regardless stress is going to happen because i love you and the guys love you and we want to continue our tradition.”
“yeah.”
“you’re awfully quiet over there. what’s going through that pretty little head of yours?”
he heard sniffles from the other side of the phone and immediately wished he was there. “i just don’t know what i did to deserve this kind of niceness.” 
“you exist as you are and we like the way you are. so there,” he explained.
she laughed. 
“there she is.”
“i love you,” she said.
“i love you,” he replied with a smile. 
“and as much as i love you and talking to you, i should probably try to sleep.”
“yes, you should.”
“wish you were here,” she said quietly. he could hear her getting under her comforter and settling in for the night on the other side of the phone. 
“soon. then you’ll get sick of me, promise,” he joked.
“doubt it. night, noah.”
“good night, doll.”
“good night!!” the rest of the crew on the bus yelled into the phone, causing him to hear her giggle before she hung up.
“is she doing okay?” nicholas asked, plopping down between noah and jolly.
“i think so. just had a moment of doubt is all.”
“what happened when you went to stay with her?” nick asked.
“i don’t think that’s something i can tell you. she barely wanted to tell me.”
“well, whatever it was, even though it was obviously bad, i’m glad it happened. if only to finally get you two together,” jolly said. “not because i want her hurting, obviously. silver lining in the clouds.”
noah nodded. he’d been feeling similarly. he didn’t know when he’d finally have broken his silence on loving her if that night didn’t happen. that, of course, didn’t mean that he was happy her past had come back to haunt her in such an intense way.
“so what’d you get her for her birthday?” bryan asked, slightly changing the subject.
noah’s eyes widened. “shit.”
“she’s not gonna want anything from anyone,” nick tried to cover for noah.
“right. but it’s definitely his obligation as boyfriend to get her something anyway.”
“what if you just get a hotel room or airbnb for a weekend getaway? she’d like that since you’ve been gone,” nicholas offered.
“that’s actually a great idea,” jolly said, gaining looks from everyone on the bus. “we’re practically soulmates, i know what she’d like.”
“soulmates?” noah leveled a playful glare at the guitarist.
“oh, chill. i mean it in a totally platonic way.”
“i think you’d have to fight scarlett for that title,” nicholas laughed. 
“i’m not convinced she’s not holding out hope for y/n to be gay,” jolly said.
“she’s bi. i think if they were to happen, they’d have happened already,” noah explained. he earned some questioning looks. “she literally went to pride and bought a bi flag. it’s not difficult to put two and two together to make four. you guys just don’t pay attention.”
“so much for being her soulmate, joakim,” nick laughed, causing everyone else to laugh.
while laying in his bunk on the bus later that night, noah began to look up hotel in the area they lived, looking for one that gave off just the right vibe.
a couple days had passed and the band and crew were making their way home as fast as they could in order to make it for dinner. noah was on edge and kept to himself most of the trip. 
in the end, they had made it back to town with a couple of hours to spare.
as much as noah wanted to tell her they’d made it, it kind of wanted it to be a surprise, so he just text scarlett and told her to keep her mouth shut. 
he showered and dressed quickly. then he packed a bag for the weekend. as much as he loved his band, he couldn’t wait to have some alone time with his girl after a few weeks with them. 
he drove alone to the restaurant because of his later plans, but waited for the rest of them to arrive before exiting his vehicle. they walked into the building as a group, y/n and scarlett already at a table. the hostess seemed shocked to see the group but led them to the table which was in the back of the restaurant.
y/n and scarlett weren’t paying attention, immersed in a conversation together, so he walked quietly behind y/n and placed his hands over her eyes, careful not to smudge her glasses.
“oh my god, you made it!” she said, excitedly.
he chuckled, taking the seat on her other side. “how’d you know it was me?”
“cologne. and also who else would dare?”
“i dunno, jolly said something about being your soulmate, so he might dare.”
“okay, he might. but he wears a different cologne. did you know that smell is the sense most linked to memory?”
“i missed you, smartypants,” he said, kissing the side of her head. 
“missed you more,” she said, smiling.
“be gross after dinner,” scarlett said, not a hint of seriousness in her voice. 
“you ladies both look very nice tonight,” jolly complimented.
“thank you. it took so long for us to find something perfect for the night. still has to look good with bowling shoes, ya know,” scarlett answered.
the rest of the table carried on in conversation while noah placed a hand on y/n’s thigh, pulling her attention to him.
“i didn’t get an actual present for you this time and for that i’m so sorry. but i did get us a hotel room for the weekend so we can spend some much needed time together without these yahoos.”
“you don’t need to beat yourself up about not getting anything because all i wanted was you here. i think a hotel room is a great idea.”
he kissed the side of her head again as the waiter walked up to the table to take their orders. 
dinner was filled with laughter and good conversation, as it always is when they all get together. noah’s hand rarely left its place on y/n’s thigh. it was a subtle touch but after being gone from her for as long as he had been, though not as long as a normal tour, it was all he could do to not beg her to skip the bowling and go straight to the hotel.
when she stood up at the end of dinner and he saw her outfit in full, he had to stifle a groan that threatened to erupt. she looked so good and was wearing heels that made her legs look even better than normal. 
he shook himself as he noticed her stretching her hand out to him with a smile. “c’mon, we have pins lanes to dominate.”
he stood, his hand in hers, and followed their group out to their vehicles. 
“who’re you riding with, love?” scarlett asked.
noah was already opening the passenger door of his car for her when y/n shot scarlett a glance, causing them to laugh.
y/n carefully slid into the passenger seat of noah’s car before he shut the door and slid into his own seat. “you look so fucking good, doll.”
“thank you,” she blushed. “i wanted to try something a little different from the last couple of years.”
“i liked those to but there’s something about this that makes me a little feral.”
“good to know.”
“you sure you want to go bowling?”
she laughed. “yes, of course i want to go bowling.”
“yeah, right, of course,” he choked out.
“noah, we have all weekend.”
“trust me, i’m aware.”
“but i did tell scar that we’d be late because i want to pick up clothes for our weekend.”
“good idea.”
“i’ve been known to have a few.”
noah drove the familiar route to her and scarlett’s house, walked around the car to help her out, and held her hand as they walked to the front door.
once they were inside, he pulled her to him and pushed his lips to hers. her arms wound around his neck as she returned his kiss with the same urgency. he walked them until her back hit the closest wall and let his hands roam down her body to the backs of her thighs. he pulled, indicating to her that he wanted them around his waist, she obliged. he broke from her lips and she put her forehead against his as he walked them back to her room. 
“i missed you so fucking much,” he said, his voice husky.
“i missed you,” she breathed out.
“i know you want to go bowling with our friends but just give me a little more time.”
“okay, i can do that.”
he pushed open her bedroom door and kicked it shut again as they entered. he laid her on the bed, pecking her lips before sliding down her body and kneeling on the carpet in front of her.
“baby, can i please?” he almost whined out. “and then we can pack you a bag and go. promise.”
she leaned up on her elbows and looked at him. both of their eyes were blown with lust and hair was mused. “okay,” she said quietly.
“okay,” he said, placing a kiss on her thigh.
he slid his hands up under the skirt of her outfit and found the elastic band of her underwear and pulled them down her legs. he didn’t fight the groan that left his throat at the sight of the black lace underwear his fingers were pulling down. 
“my shoes,” she said, breathlessly.
“they’re fine,” he said simply as he hooked her knees on his shoulders. 
he kissed up the inside of one of her thighs to the apex of her legs. he used his tongue to lap up the juices that were already flowing out of her. he pushed a finger into her as he licked. he moaned into her, the vibration making her moan loudly as she snaked her fingers through his hair. he nibbled on her clit as lightly as he could and soothed it with his tongue. he inserted another finger and began working them faster as her breathing sped up.
“noah,” she breathed out, spurring him on.
he reached his free hand up toward her, and she released the grip of one of her hands on his hair to grip his hand instead. 
“c’mon, baby, i know you can do it. you’re so close,” he said as he felt her squeezing his fingers before continuing his ministrations with his tongue. he coaxed it out of her. she fought to keep her thighs open as she came, he continued until she was spent and breathing heavily above him.
he sat back on his heels and licked his fingers clean, her slick glistening on his chin. “fuck,” they said together, causing them to laugh.
“hang on, doll. let me clean you up before you start moving around,” he walked into the adjoining bathroom, grabbed a clean washcloth, and wet it before walking back to her, wiping his face as he did. he cleaned the inside of her thighs and any drippage from her core before placing her feet in the leg holes of her underwear and helping her pull them back on.
she raised her arms and he pulled her up. he chuckled as he saw her look in her phone screen with a look of horror. “now i have to fix my make up and hair,” she whined. 
“i dunno, i think you still look great,” he kissed her forehead.
“you would.” she said, attempting to stand. “you know, in these shoes i’m almost your height.”
“i noticed. my neck thanks them for their service.” 
she laughed again as he helped her stand, he laughed as her knees wobbled.
“stop that. and help me with these things,” she said, plopping back on her bed and bending to unbuckle her shoes.
he saluted her and kneeled once more to help her remove the high heels. 
she breathed a sigh of relief as she stood on bare feet and walked to her closet for a bag and her converse. he was at her dresser pulling out yoga pants, shorts, and a couple of t-shirts. she pulled out clean underwear and a different bra and some socks and stuffed everything into her bag. before they left she went to the bathroom and cleaned up her makeup and hair, motioning for him to sit so she could straighten up his hair as well.
he grabbed her bag as she grabbed his hand and pulled him through the front door, locking it behind them, and to the car once more.
once they were situated in the vehicle, she shouted enthusiastically, “to the bowling alley!”

Tumblr media
notes: isagi x fem! reader
warnings: none
summary: you spot your boyfriend at the bowling ally and decide to physically congratulate him—not knowing he was with his friends.
Tumblr media
You surely did not expect anything when you went to the arcade with your friends—in fact you were there first!
It was then you got a text from Isagi that he got a two week break from Blue Lock and would be coming to see you soon. And that made you super excited.
You had sooo many things to say to him, you watched his match with his parents and has been meaning to talk to him since—but today you decided to take your mind off things and just relax with friends.
The three of you were in the karaoke booths for a while and played at the arcade, and after a while you guys decided to leave for the day. That is until:
“Name! Look over there at the bowling section. Is that not your boyfriend?”
It was almost embarrassing how quickly you turned your head at your friends words. Your eyes quickly searching for your boyfriend, and ready to dismiss her claims.
But to you surprise, she was right. There was no doubt about it—Isagi Yoichi was right in front of you.
‘No way…’
“It is him! I remember Yoichi’s face. They have matching lock screens of each other.” Your friend added on, teasingly.
“Well let’s go see him!” Your other friend announced, pushing you forward towards the bowling alley.
When you guys arrive, there was already a crowd of spectators around Isagi and the others. I mean it isn’t everyday you see the Japan’s national team and Blue Lock members bowling against each other.
You guys just so happened to appear when Nagi made his infamous strike.
The three of you walk forward and Otoya is immediately at your side.
“Do you want an autograph? No problem. Also are you free after this?”
Of course your friends weren’t as immune to his charms but you politely refused, because there was only one person you wanted to see.
“Name?” Isagi turned around and was surprised to see you and your friends. In fact he was beyond shocked. Here he was wanting to surprise you—but you ended up surprising him.
“Yoichi!” The two of you wasted no time hugging each other, the love almost overflowing.
“Congrats on winning! I was there with your parents, did you see me?”
“Yeah I did. Thanks for cheering me on.”
“We’re here too!” Your friends suddenly appeared next to you, allowing Isagi to greet them too.
“FriendName1, FriendName2 how have you guys been?”
“We’ve been good. Congratulations on winning—someone here wouldn’t shut up about it.”
As the four of you were talking, the Blue Lock members were stunned to silence. First of all—who were this pretty girls surrounding Isagi. And second of all—who were these girl surrounding Isagi?!
“So the kid was a girl? I haven’t had a stable relationship like that since grade school.” Oliver quipped.
“EH? GIRLFRIEND??”
Isagi finally introduces you to all him friends—and boy did they not expect that.
Bachira was cool with it. The two of you easily conversed and it felt as if he could’ve been your childhood friend or something.
Karasu congratulates Isagi—for some reason he never expected him to get a girl. He almost couldn’t believe it fully. He may or may not have questioned you about Isagi.
Nagi honestly was in the middle. A girlfriend wasn’t even in his mind. He asks you if you play video games. Once you tell him that you do, the conversation immediately switches to that lol.
Chigiri may be the only normality. He asks you simple questions like how the two of you met, how was Isagi like before they met. He was a pretty chill person overall.
Barou was tough to talk to. He didn’t really have nothing to say to you. But you did congratulate him for the goal he scored versus U-20. Let’s just say that filled his ego even more.
Aryu didn’t even give you time to speak. He immediately asked for skincare, hair care, all the care he could think of. Your skin was just sooo soft, and your hair was sooo stylish. Isagi quickly put a stop to his constant skin ship though.
Tokimitsu was a character. He was really shy and nervous when speaking to you, but the two of you got along well.
You recognized Yukimiya, after all he is a famous model. He was very polite and courteous with you, and the two of you shared a nice conversation.
Reo, like Karasu didn’t believe it at first. Isagi just didn’t seem like the type of person to have one just yet. Overall he was kind to you and viewed you as a nice person.
Otoya was a schemer. While he was out hunting for ladies, Isagi already had one secured. He was ready to give any information you wanted to know about Isagi. But you assured him it wouldn’t come to that.

Could you do a list of prompts where it's enemies to lovers but only one of them hates the other? Thank you so much!
Enemies to Lover Prompts, but Only One of Them Hates the Other
Hi there! Thank you for requesting, here you go!
WARNINGS: Hospital mention!
Tumblr media
SCENARIOS
1) Sometimes I wonder why my boss assigns me to you of all people and—why are you blushing? 
2) Small car? Fine. Small car with you, and you now hate my guts even more now? Not so fine. Small car with you, hating my guts, and you’re wearing that suit/button-down/dress and looking absolutely amazing? Really good, but really, really bad. 
3) I hate you, but you’re bleeding after a mission/an accident and I don’t know what to do but sit here. You want me to hold your hand, and I know I shouldn’t feel this way seeing you so vulnerable. 
4) There’s nobody to check you into the hospital, and they won’t let me back there unless I’m related. Congrats, I’m your wife/husband/spouse now. Ready for a shotgun marriage? 
5) I’ve always thought you’ve hated me as I’ve hated you. Whenever there was a meeting, you’d do nothing but stare at me, but now that we’re alone in the break room/office/building, I don’t think you hate me as much as I thought. 
6) I may not like you, but I’d hate you getting caught by the police even more. Here, hide with me. 
7) How, after two years of us being in the same office, I now only figured out that you apparently have a crush on me? And the office knew? I thought you hated me. 
8) Group projects aren’t fun, but group projects with you are even worse. Gotta make sure I clean my room, and make sure there’s snacks, oh, and make sure that my mom doesn’t come in the room and—wait… why am I putting so much effort in? 
9) I know that when I took this job, I said I’d do anything to get to the truth. But a fake marriage between you and I? Not happening. (It happens anyway.) 
10) I saw a crumpled up letter sitting on my desk, and all of our coworkers were snickering about it. It was a note confessing your love for me, obviously trashed. You never hated me? 
11) We’re about to be caught, and you pull me into a closet/cupboard/dumpster/alleyway, and now you’re really close. Lord, help me. 
12) I got a piece of paperwork that I can’t do alone, so I took it up to your office. Entering your space was a one-time thing, but when did it become a habit to stop here every other day with coffee, then? 
13) Our boss is planning on firing both of us if we can’t get along—and he/she even went as far as to threaten a get-along shirt. Come on, let’s go bowling/watch a movie/to the arcade or something… why am I so warm? 
14) I never thought that out of this whole room, you’d be the one to advocate for me. 
15) I overheard your secretary ordering you coffee, and being the best employee that you have, I got you a second one in the afternoon. You return the favor, and maybe you’re not such a bad boss. 
16) You’re babysitting my daughter/son. I hate you, but you do a good job. You hate me, but I tip you well. What happens when my kid locks us into a damned closet after you finish up work, and you start blushing? 
17) I am trying not to cry at the fact that my ice cream dropped on the pavement. It’s already been a rough day, okay? But then you, my boss, who should be back at their office and definitely not here, buys me a new one. Who are you, and what did you do to my boss? 
18) I called yesterday to not come in today. I don’t want to deal with you, or anyone else for that matter. But then you’re here with groceries and ice cream… thanks.
19) That’s my dog... who likes your dog? Even though you’re my annoying neighbor that blasts music at two in the morning, maybe we can get along. For the sake of our pets, of course. And not because you’re—
20) TURN DOWN YOUR MUSIC. DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU ONE MORE TIME, AND—that’s some tight sleepwear/you’re not wearing a shirt—and… I… uh…

Kinkmas Day 3: Eddie Munson(dry Humping)
Tw: Dry Humping, semi-public, neck kissing, rubbing. (I believe that's it but if I missed anything lemme know!)
A/N: So sorry for the super late post but I hope you like this! Also sorry if there's any spelling errors. 
Word Count: 859
So sorry for the super late post but I hope you like this!
“C,mon babe, just a quickie, really quick I promise.” Eddie said, hugging you from behind.
“Eddie, we have to meet the group at the arcade in 20 minutes. A Quickie to you is like eating ice cream, you always want more after you have a bowl” I said, Finishing up tying my hair back.
He scoffs, “It is not. I promise it will be quick! Pleaseeee” He whines. 
I shake my head, grabbing my bag and keys, walking towards the door. 
“If you don't hurry up, I’m leaving you here and you can walk” I said, opening the door and walking down the trailer stairs. 
I hear a huff behind me before a door closes and footsteps coming down the stairs. 
“You are so not fair.” He says, pouting and crossing his arms once he’s seated in the car. 
I just roll my eyes and ignore, backing out and going towards the arcade. 
*At the arcade*
“If you can wait two hours until we get home, you can have me all night” I whisper to him as we walk through the door. 
He stops and looks at me with wide eyes, I just walk past him and wink.
Finding an all familiar hat in a group of teens, I shout out Dustin's name, letting them know we’re here and on time this time. 
“Y/n! Good you’re here. Okay so we wanted to do teams of two for air hockey, Cause the arcade just got that big one, and since you guys are here now, there's an even number of people.” He started saying, explaining what we're gonna do and how it’s gonna work. 
While he’s talking Eddie walks up beside me, grabbing my hand to hold. 
I look at him real quick to flash him a quick smile but when I see his face, I see him with a stern gaze, looking around the arcade. Not even paying attention to what Dustin was saying. 
“Okay so you’re okay with that right Y/n?” Dustin asks. 
I shake my head, looking back at him, “Um, sorry, with what exactly?” I ask sheepishly. 
Dustin looks at me weirdly, “With Eddie being my partner cause Robin and Steve are already partnered up and Lucas and Max and el and Mike so you’re with Will.” He explained. 
I nod, and he grabs Eddie’s hand dragging him over to the rest of the group. I trail behind them, smiling as everyone says hello. 
“Okay! Now that everyone is here! Let’s play!” Steve says Clapping his hands. 
*After air hockey* 
“Okay, I don’t know about you guys but I’m tired and hungry so let's take a lunch break.” Robin says, walking over to the biggest booth they had there. Sitting down and scooting over so everyone else can fit in too. 
The last one in is Eddie and there's no room for me so he just casually grabs my waist and pulls me on his lap. 
I yelp from the rudeness but he just tightens his grip around me and grabs a menu.
“Ed, I could have just grabbed a chair.” I whisper to him. 
He just shakes his head, “No it’s ok babe. You can sit here, with me.” He says with a look in his eyes, a look I know all too well. 
As everyone is talking I feel little kisses on my neck. I move it a little to give him more access but not too much that it’s noticeable. 
He grips my hips, slowly moving them back and forth, I move my hand down, gripping his arms. 
Looking around and seeing everyone occupied I turned towards him a bit, “Eds, what are you doing?” I ask him. 
He just looks at me and smirks, discreetly moving my hips faster. 
I close my eyes, feeling something in my stomach. I lean my head back against his shoulder, turning my head towards his ears so he can hear the little whimpers that are leaving my mouth. 
Sliding his hand under my skirt, he starts to rub my clit through my underwear, adding more pressure to increase the feeling in my stomach. 
I nip at his ear and whimper a small, “Eddie” letting him know that I’m cumming. 
He rubs my clit faster until finally my body lets go. I grip his arms hard, leaving nail indents in them. He slowly stops moving my hips to help me relax and then suddenly stands up with me in his arms. 
“Y/n has got to pee and I'm gonna go grab some more tokens while we wait for someone. We’ll be right back” He says quickly before anyone can say anything, dragging us to the bathroom. 
“W-What are you doing?” I ask, still dazed about what just happened. 
He looks around before pushing me in the women's restroom and then walking in himself.
He closes the door, locks it and turns around, leaning against with a spark in his eyes and a smirk on his lips. 
“After what just happened, I am not waiting until we get home.” He says.

Cinema Sins/Wins Rip off of Lego Monkie Kid
‘Duplicatnation’
Inspired by @satansaidmyturnintheh3llscape
Rules:
-I won’t be counting Animation Mistakes, because Idk how to do that, and I myself am a beginner animator (more like incredibly amateur, to the point I’m asking my sister for help) Unless of course the Animation is obviously and clearly having a mistake for me to watch. (Or it is said in the wiki) The other reason is because I don’t want to keep repeating a scene just to check for an animation mistake.
-I also won’t be counting flashbacks as ‘mistakes’ because most of them are based on bias.
-I’ll be formatting it like this
-Neutral
-Sin
-Win
-Most of this is Commentary, so there won’t be a last sentence nor win or sin counter.
-This is mostly for fun, no need to get offended.
Alright I’ll be placing the rules every single time, without further ado, let’s get into the episode
———————————————————————————
-Intro
Tumblr media
-._.
-Already we’re having a good start to the episode, having a look at our dear boy’s daily life.
-And already we see the side effects of being a people pleaser…
-And already we can see the negative effects it’s having on MK-
-I do wonder if that paint’s gonna last in the water…heck what does the water look like with all the painting he’s doing?
-So is it normal for people to go at the arcade every night?
-Stress in a TV show, this is why kids, you don’t overbook and you can always say no.
-‘Wow MK, you look like hot garbage’ that line always throws me off for some reason, Tang was brutally honest here-
-Also he’s here again, so he just comes there everyday…I feel worried for his stomach-
-That bowl of noodles is obviously MK’s breakfast, no way in hell is Pigsy gonna let him eat that.
-I always wonder, if the place is so busy, then why is the shop always empty?
-‘You’re pushing yourself too hard MK, working all day, partying all night, painting boats?’ And this my friend is the reason you’re not a dad, you’re a mom.
-But in all seriousness does anyone not notice that for MK or…?
-‘I don’t wanna let my friends down y’know’ establishing the character development right away.
-I’m still wondering why Mei is partying every night at the arcade.
-It’s specifically the arcade even- like they don’t even go anywhere else-like seriously girl how are you not bored yet?
-MK forgetting Wukong’s abilities makes him more life-like cause damn even I don’t know all his abilities, like, we know the main ones are in the show, but in the original JTTW he’s confirmed to have the ability to revive the dead-
-‘One of Monkey King’s 72 transformations’ wait, is that true? Or is this a mistake? Does this even count as a transformation?
-The animation is so beautiful :3
-Glad they changed it to blow, in one translation, Wukong had to chew on his own hair and turn it into a hair ball before making it into a monkey, that would have been unsanitary to be honest-
-I’m also guessing they changed it to blow as in ‘Blow life unto it’ Idk, I’ve seen a lot of legends in Asia that tell about the creation of people and how Gods literally have to ‘Blow air into them’ to bring them to life.
-Foreshadowing
Tumblr media
-Tiny little detail that not everything about the animation is copy and pasted.
-Love how Tang slowly gets concerned over time- perhaps this is how he just becomes that other parental figure in his life?
Tumblr media
-Another tiny detail, both MK’s don’t leave at the same time.
-Man, Tang’s really chill compared to his past life-
-So…when delivery MK was made…was the reason he ate all that food was because this MK was skipping breakfast? Because he’s taking those orders surprisingly fast…
-I LOVE Party MK
-Again, Tang why are you still here?! That amount of noodles can’t be good for your stomach.
-Notable detail, Pigsy squeals when scared.
-I know some people will call this out as fat shaming, but they may be trying to do the old 2015-2019 format of cartoons. Still this might be offensive to some people.
Tumblr media
-See this is why you shouldn’t constantly work someone to perfection.
-Also Porty MK got a point Mei, no one parties this much- So kinda miscommunication there?
Tumblr media
-Haha
-Ok that is a concerning amount of hair loss…
-Although Delivery MK is pretty adorable, he acts like a baby :3
-‘I don’t know.’ PFFT HAHAAH- it’s funny cause it’s never really said in the book how Wukong got rid of his clones.
-Delivery MK confirms that even the clones can lift the staff.
-The fact the only wavy kung fu MK knew was that one move Wukong taught him last episode.
Tumblr media
-Hairball
-I kinda feel bad for these clones tbh.
-‘OG MK in the House Yo!’ ‘I don’t even know what that means!’ Implies that MK would have learned ‘90’s’ or ‘party slang’ if he kept partying with Mei.
-You know, MK being evil is terrifying tbh.
-‘You’re really bad at making clones by the way’ Sorry Mei- but uhm, I think the clones are him, just in a much deeper level than you’d expect.
-Why did you need that many clones?!
Tumblr media
-Ok, first off how was this legal? Secondly, did Porty MK bribe the owner or something? Thirdly, How the hell did you even make this?!
-Oof, played yerself.
-The fact the hair just…sticks.
-‘Did you learn your lesson?’ Yeah, it’s MK learn to say no, and Everyone, ask someone else, he isn’t the only person in the world. Seriously guys, from what I see you only overwork him.
Yeah! Sorry this came late-

| Info you need! v
More character prompts and dumps! received from a bunch of dialogue prompt generators
Warnings; minor cussing, romantic/platonic relationships, weed intake in the first scenario
Tumblr media
“He was unconscious when I found him!”
You glanced between Ruggie, laying passed out with drool smudged around his face, and Leona who was staring above the both of you.
“Why.. Why didn’t you say something? Or literally anything else but lie there with him..” It wasn’t really a question, but you answered anyways,
“‘Cause the shithead stole my happy brownies and I’m gonna demand compensation. I don’t want him escaping.”
“He’s not gonna be able to do anything for the next few hours, by the looks of it.” Leona continued to observe Ruggie, who had turned on his stomach and was now mumbling unintelligibly,
“Wanna take a nap with us?”
“Yeah sure, so, was there any more ‘happy’ snacks or what?”
Tumblr media
“I want to be there when you get what’s coming to you.”
“What the hell’s that supposed to mean?!” Ace’s eyebrows furrowed with offense, Deuce shrugged as Cater snickered besides him, “This is a full proof plan, for you’re information! Have I ever been wrong?”
Deuce stared Ace in the eyes, completely deadpan, the only noise coming from Cater staring between them and trying not to snort too loud.
“… Anyways, you heard the plan! What could possibly, possibly go wrong?
“I’m sorry, you want to carry an air mattress to the stairs and ride down said stairs on the air mattress. So for starters, we could get hurt, [Name] and or Yuu could find out, Grim finds out and then-“
“ALRIGHT! For fuck’s sake, I get it, you’re a pet and are scared of getting in trouble. And as for the ‘getting hurt’ bit, I have gathered every pillow and blanket in Heartslabyul!”
“We’re still not doing that, it’s fucking stupid.”
“Ugh, you are absolutely no fun, Juice.”
“My name is Deuce, dipshit.”
Tumblr media
“Did you ever care about me?!”
You sniffled, looking at Idia, trying to find any source of sadness, but he grinned and laughed,
“In the name of winning, absolutely not!”
“Oh my god, you fucking capitalist, fine! Take your damn money-!” You threw multiple monopoly money at Idia’s face as he cackled, rendering you money-less and out of the game.
“Can we go now? We’ve been here for awhile…” Azul groaned, allowing his head to fall on his empty side of the table. Idia looked at his stacks of money, half of the board covered in houses, smug enough where you wanna smack him upside the head.
“Maybe next time you guys can actually try to beat me…” Azul and you both immediately shot a glare at him, both full of bitterness. Azul, because he was the first one out and you because you brought the god-forbidden game.
“Shut the hell up, Idia.”
“Yes, do be quiet.” Idia snorted at the two of you’s suffering.
Tumblr media
“Did you know that you fucking suck at this?”
“Oh my god, who the hell invited you?”
Floyd grinned, “[Name] did, so fuck you!” Leona groaned in displeasure, Ruggie snickered at the bantering before turning to you.
“You good? You had your head down this entire time,” You looked at him tiredly, “I remembered how much I fucking hate bowling, and this guy just argued that this alone bowling ball at the stand was his.”
“Yikes, wanna go to the arcade and win some shitty, dollar store prizes?”
“Sound fantastic, thanks, how long do you think Leona and Floyd are gonna argue over who’s worse at bowling?”
“No clue, but at least it’s funny..?”

Circles
Steve Murphy x Murphy!F!Reader Javier Peña x F!Reader (just flirting) From these August Prompts:  “I think the map is leading us in circles.”
A/N: There's just something about these monthly prompt challenges that I really get such enjoyment out of while also putting myself through the ringer. It's balanced. Enjoy the ride my friends! Word Count: 1.4k
Warnings: Flirting, cursing, and banter. 
Narcos Taglist: @drabbles-mc @narcolini​ @justreblogginfics
Tumblr media
“I think the map is leading us in circles.” You twisted the map around in your hands as you and Steve traveled throughout Miami. 
“You sure it’s the map and not the person reading it?” Steve joked as he casually drove.
The map was crumbling against your lap as you frustratingly stared over at him. “First of all, you fucking live here, shouldn’t you know where we’re going.” 
“Yea that’s why we’re here.” Steve was pulling up to the recreation center that had a bowling alley, bar, and arcade all combined into one. “What’s second of all?” He asked you as he placed the car in park and sent a smirk your way. 
“Second of all, calling me stupid means you’re calling yourself stupid.” Your eyebrows raised before you leaned over to grab your stuff that was on the floor of the car. 
“First of all,” he mocked you slightly before getting to his point. “I didn’t call you stupid.” His finger pointed at you. “Second of all, what the hell are you saying?” 
You laughed at him, “I’m saying that you’re my older brother and since you’re practically the one who raised me, my ability to read a map kind of falls to your responsibility and that means you’re shitting on yourself not just me.” 
He stared at you for a minute, trying to wrap his brain around the jumble of words you just said. 
“Who's stupid now?” You smirked and made your way out of the car. 
Steve was quick to follow you and call out to you as he lightly jogged to catch up. “I didn’t call you stupid!!” 
“So why are we here again?” You were leaning to open the door when Steve reached over your head and grabbed it to hold it open for you. 
“Some guys from work are here.” He answered like that was supposed to mean something to you. 
“Wasn’t the whole point of coming back to Miami for a week to take a break from work?” You turned to look up at him, a frown filling your face. 
“Yea, but now when Mom and Dad call me and I don’t answer and then they call you, you can tell them that you’ve met my coworkers and that I’m in safe hands.” 
It was such a Steve comment. Something he would have said when you were kids and he needed you to cover for him. 
“This is who I’m supposed to think has you in safe keeping in Colombia?” You pointed to the table that had one single man leaning slouched against the wall with a glass of some amber liquid resting against his head with his eyes closed. “If I’m going to be lying to mom and dad you’re paying for drinks tonight,” you began to walk over to the table, “and you’re paying for my flight back home.” You were quick to think of things to get out of this deal. 
“Javi.” Steve kicked the chair waking the man up. Not a single drop of alcohol spilled from his glass as he woke up, either luck or the man knew how to hold his alcohol, literally. “And I’ll pay for your drinks but not your flight home.” Steve was staring at you from across the table. 
As Javi came to it, he stared between you and Steve, putting two and two together with the help of knowing he was going to be bringing his sister out. “I’ll buy you a drink.” Javi sat up and offered that up before even saying hi. 
“Beautiful. Javi will buy my drinks and you will buy my plane ticket.” You smirked at Steve, opting to use what you assumed was the man's name to really irck him. 
Steve looked at Javi, he expected the behavior from you, your job as his little sister was to annoy him but he didn’t expect it out of Javi, which, honestly was his own mistake. Steve contemplated telling Javi you were trouble and to be careful but knew he’d make some twisted comment out of it so he opted to tell you Javi was trouble and tell Peña something else. 
“He’s trouble. You watch yourself.” Steve pointed at you again, his job as an older brother was telling you what to do. 
“And you,” Steve turned to Javi and patted his shoulder. “She’s going to run you broke.” 
Javi ignored Steve completely and turned to you as you situated yourself across the table from him. “I’m Javi.” He stuck his hand out for you to shake. 
You introduced yourself back to him, sharing your name as your hand met his for a handshake. “I like my old fashioned poured over ice with a lemon twist, extra sweet.” 
He smirked at that, you giving him your order immediately after introducing yourself. 
“Fitting.” He stared you right in the eyes for a moment before Steve cleared his throat getting both of yours attention. 
“How about I buy the first round and whatever it is y’all are doing, stops.” 
“No promises, but I’ll try.” Javi said with his hands up in surrender. 
Steve glared at you not expecting a reply, his eyes saying enough to you before retreating to the bar.
Javi changed gears, he was still flirty, but it was less in your face. Now it was just genuine conversation that ensued between the both of you. 
“So how long are you here in Miami for?” He asked you as he poured a glass full of water from the table’s pitcher for you. 
“Well, I haven’t exactly bought my flight home yet,” you tilted your head as you explained, “but probably a couple more days. Only came out here to see Steve, it’s been a while since I’ve seen him and I’ve been going through it back home.” 
“Boyfriend?” Javi asked as he brought a cigarette to his mouth. 
You leaned over and grabbed a cigarette from the carton he was holding. 
“Girlfriend.” 
Javi froze and stared at you. “You serious?” 
“No but I had you for a minute didn’t I?” You smirked and grabbed the matches that were on the table and lit your cigarette as he did the same with a chuckle. “I lost my job.” You shared the real reason with Javi, “kind of going through an identity crisis.” 
Javi nodded and exhaled his cigarette before looking back over at you. “That’s rough, I’m sorry. Change of scenery probably will do ya some good.” 
You nodded not really having anything more to say on the topic which allowed Javi to follow up his statement with a question. 
“You and Steve were close growing up?” 
The corners of your mouth turned and a smirk filled your face as you recollected on your childhood. “Inseparable. And he hated every second of it.” You let out a small chuckle before continuing. “Our parents weren’t exactly around too much,” you shrugged, “Steve was.” 
Javi nodded, “You move with him when he left Tennessee?” 
“Fuck no.” The water you had just drank practically being spit out at the thought of that. “I went to New York when he left. I love him, to death, owe him everything but, Miami wasn’t–isn’t really my scene. But he got the DEA gig, couldn’t hold him back from that. I couldn’t stay without him that was for sure, things weren’t that great in Tennessee, country girl like me wanted to see the big apple.” 
“Change of scenery.” Javi nodded as he took in what you said. 
“No, that time was a boyfriend.” You knew Javi would have appreciated that response. 
He did. A small laugh was let out along with the last of his cigarette smoke as he crushed the bud of it into the ashtray as Steve came back with 3 drinks. 
“What boyfriend? Not that asshole from New York?” Steve asked as he placed the drinks down on the table. 
Javi’s head snapped up, “So there is a boy.” 
“Isn’t there always?” You winked at him and went to grab your drink before quickly correcting him. “Was.” Your hand extended up to get his attention. “Not is, was.” 
Javi nodded and brought his drink up to cheers you. 
The three of you now were raising your glasses. Steve spoke up to toast to something, “Fuck assholes.” 
“The one who was and the one that is.” Javi’s glance landed on you as he spoke. 
You smiled right back at him, “And the ones who will be.”

☆\\ Where I'd take AoT characters on a date IRL HCs:
(may or may not have based these off of places I’ve been to before and things I've done. also every one of these are to be assumed to be over the age of 21)
↓ Marco, Armin, Sasha, Eren, Levi, & Hange ↓
➳ Marco
Tumblr media
➤ I’d take him bowling
➤ he’d be very adamant to pay for everything
��� he'd spend a lot of time trying to find the perfect ball
➤ offers to help me after my 5th gutter ball in a row, even though he’s not very good at it either
➤ with his help, I'm able to hit the pins at least and when I look back at him with a big smile after knocking down 2 pins, “Marco!! Did you see that?! You helped me do that!!” - he would get so nervous and bashful
➤ when he ends up getting an accidental strike, I’d give him a very enthusiastic kiss on the cheek
➤ His face is beet red for the rest of the night. (just imagine those freckles, I'm crying)
➤ neither of us break 100 points but we laugh about it anyways and applaud each other for trying
➤ we'd spend some time in the attached arcade after our lane time is up
➤ he's not very fond of the violent games but he did indulge me with one Mortal Kombat game in which I won purely by being the better button masher
➤ he has a lot of fun with the strategic games though, and even ends up winning enough tickets to get that massive plushy hanging off the wall behind the prize counter that I've been staring at the whole time
➤ afterwards we'd go get greasy food and milkshakes at the diner in town, 90s grunge music plays in the background
➤ I sneak my debit card to the waitress to pay when he's not looking
➳ Armin
Tumblr media
➤ I'd take him to an aquarium
➤ he absolutely info dumps on every creature we see
➤ he refuses to let go of my hand the whole time as we walk
➤ at one point he just wants to sit at a bench and stare up at one of the largeest tanks in the building, and we do in comfortable silence
➤ he laughs at my enthusiastic behavior when it’s time to see the sharks and penguins
➤ a kid comes bounding up next to us and starts blabbering about how pretty the fishies are and Armin will lean down and start pointing to specific ones and informs the very wide-eyed child of what they are
➤ I'd watch him with heart eyes the whole time he spoke
➤ I buy him a little stuffed octopus from the gift shop (that his bed is never seen without after this)
➤ he gifts me a small necklace with a little silver conch shell, his face is SO pink
➤ “I-I got you s-something too.”
➤ we’d take a walk down in the park next to the aquarium which just so happens to be by a river
➤ the sun is just starting to set so oranges and pinks are dusting the sky and reflecting off the calm water
➤ we get an ice cream cone from a vendor off the path
➤ I’d get cotton candy whereas Armin finds delight in sea salted caramel
➤ still holding hands of course, and if I pull away for anything, even to get a napkin out of my purse, he whines
➤ the night ends with some stargazing on the dewy grass of the park, both of our arms pointed to the sky as we talk about the stars, our hopes, our dreams, and everything in between
➳ Sasha
Tumblr media
➤ I'd take her out to a Brazilian Steakhouse
➤ she'd never heard of them before so the moment I told her the concept of the restaurant, she already had drool down her face
➤ she makes the cost absolutely worth it because she packs away so much meat
➤ We would laugh the whole meal because we'd talk about our favorite weekly memes that popped up on our social medias
➤ we’d go axe throwing after dinner to blow off some steam, which is just a short walk from the restaurant since we’re downtown
➤ she’s getting a couple bullseyes (not a lot though, they’re mainly accidental) and doesn’t hold back her laughter when I utterly fail at even getting the axe to stick
➤ when I do manage to hit the wood and it sticks, she’s screaming so loudly in praise that the people next to us are eyeing us with dirty looks
➤ on the way back to the car, we run across one of those city fountains that spray water straight up from the ground (like for kids but more elegant) and out of pure mischief I shove her straight into a water stream getting her soaked
➤ she pulls me in and then we’re chasing each other through the water while screaming in laughter
➤ we’re dripping wet by the time we make it back to the car but luckily, I come prepared for anything
➤ it’s 11pm by the time we end up finishing our shenanigans
➤ “Taco Bell??” “Fuck yeah.”
➤ our stomachs are so sore from laughing so much
➳ Eren
Tumblr media
➤ I’d take him to a rage room
➤ I’m not surprised to see how much pent-up aggression he needed to let out, but he is surprised by mine
➤ everything in the room has no mercy between the two of us
➤ once he’s over the initial shock of “smol but angy”, we’re both cackling like maniacs as we beat the shit out of the car sitting in the center of the room
➤ “Is that all you got!?” “Not in the slightest, Jaeger, watch this!!”
➤ Eren pays for another 30 minutes us because we’re just having so much fun
➤ the room is a chaotic mess by the end of it
➤ when we’re done with that, we’d grab dinner at a pub just down the street
➤ drinks will be had, him a beer and me a fancy ass cocktail that’s stronger than his by a landslide
➤ we’d be having loud drunken conversations about something stupid, probably work related
➤ his cheeks are just so flushed as he stares at me rambling about something going on in the world
➤ “What are you looking at?” “Nothing of importance.” He smirks. “Fuck you.”
➤ he plays the loudest death metal I have ever heard on the way home
➳ Levi
Tumblr media
gif by @tatakaeeren ↑
➤ I'd take him home (hear me out)
➤ we'd make a home cooked meal together, something cozy and comforting
➤ maybe it's a recipe that his mom loved to make for him
➤ there’s soft lo-fi jazz playing in the background and the sun is setting just outside the kitchen window
➤ he loves to cook, like me, so we'd work well in the kitchen together.
➤ it takes longer than the recipe states because I'm slow as fuck when it comes to moving around in the kitchen but he would be so patient with me (not without his dry retorts though and me shooting daggers at him, all in light fun)
➤ “Those potatoes could peel themselves faster than you.” “Shut up.”
➤ When chopping onions, I'd be a puffy-eyed mess but he wouldn't even bat an eye
➤ matter of fact, his knife work is impeccable, and I’d have him on cutting duty
➤ eating together consists of comfortable silence and meaningful stares
➤ after dinner, he'd demand that I go sit while he handwashes all of the dishes as well as wipe down all of the counters (which I do without complaints though I still ask “Are you sure you don’t want help?”)
➤ when he's done, he'll come over with some dessert tea and we'll watch a movie or show together snuggled up on the couch
➤ sleepy forehead kisses as I nod off and he stays up half paying attention to the movie
➳ Hange
Tumblr media
➤ I'd take them to a science museum center
➤ it's one of those interactive museums with the water features and outdoor activities
➤ Hange gets so giddy at the chemistry section
➤ they’d spend an ungodly amount of time at the physics station
➤ the system they made with the gears and tools provided is way too complex for me to understand but I am proud of them nonetheless
➤ even though most of the science discovery museums are catered to children, they are the most excited and happy one there
➤ there was a moment where they almost pushed a kid aside to gawk at something, but I grabbed their arm in time
➤ I’d have to physically stop them from buying everything at the giftshop
➤ we’d get pizza for lunch (a little Unspoken Words might have made its way in this)
➤ Hange is rambling on about some sort of experiment they would have made had the science center had the resources, a wicked gleam in their eyes as they talk
➤ “I’m just saying, if they ditched the construction paper and used real, raw materials, it would be even better.” “Hange, that’s not safe for kids.” “Who said it would be for the kids?”
➤ we’d go for a drive around town for a while with the windows down and music is cranked as high as possible as the sun sets in the rearview mirror
➤ the shared playlist we made makes no fucking sense

closed starter for @fillyoursoulxx​
Tumblr media
Dove was convincing herself that the bowling shoes were a look, paired with her typical tights, plaid skirt and cropped sweater combo. Her plan was to look casual and laid-back on this double date, though it was kind of insane that she’d managed to swing winning a date from that Theatre Department raffle in the first place. Fate had decided she was going on a date with Calvin, but Louis and Dove had decided they could pair up the respective dates so they wouldn’t actually have to be on dates without the other present. Didn’t mean she was his to romance for the evening, though, despite his requests to swap more than once. Maybe she should have taken him up, but she had assumed he was mostly kidding, anyway. 
The only person present not aware of the ongoing thing between the two of them... well, that would be Louis’ date. A self proclaimed ‘puck bunny’, which Dove had to google when she maybe, possibly, lowkey stalked her social media accounts, just to see if she had reason to worry. She was pretty sure the name was being used in jest, or reclamation. Still, she couldn’t get a read on her from mostly private accounts. Cheyenne seemed nice enough in person, she’d smiled and laughed at some silly joke Dove made as they collected their shoes. She was a little taller than her and an icy blonde that looked like a pain to maintain. A nursing major. 
The bowling alley was nice, a hole in the wall spot with a sprawling arcade off to one side, lots of neon lights and a jukebox playing requested hits. The carpeting looked like it’d been ripped straight from the 80s, but Dove appreciated a well-crafted vibe paired with technology from this decade, for sure. 
“Cards on the table, which of us are actually good at bowling? I know we’re among athletes, but it doesn’t guarantee anything.” That was her cue to send a sneaky, amused glance Louis’ way, her hands tangling in front of her as the worker finished setting up their game for them. Immediately, Cheyenne began to shake her head and laugh, trying to communicate just how bad she was while leaning close to her date. In turn, Dove turned her attention to Cal, offering a small smile. 
Okay, maybe it was going to be kind of a long night, but she was sure they’d find their openings as the worker let them know they were set to play. That was their cue to look for their respective balls and Dove made a beeline to a row of purple ones, hoping they wouldn’t be too heavy.

Ship: Noctis/Prompto || Words: 677 || First kiss, mutual pining
Prompt: Wardrobe malfunction
[Read on AO3]
*
The weather outside is frightful.
Prompto sputters as a sudden gust of wind blows the swirling snowflakes straight into his mouth. It hadn’t been snowing this hard when he left the house, but now as he follows Noct up the stairs out of the subway tunnel, the pesky white immediately finds its way into every nook and cranny that isn’t protected by his hat or scarf.
“Dude, we’re gonna freeze before we get to the arcade!”
“I didn’t expect it to get this bad.” Noct gives him a guilty glance, blinking the icy droplets off his eyelashes. The tiny stars that cling to his wispy bangs make him look even more ethereal than usually. “Sorry for dragging you out here.”
“Nah, it’s okay,” Prompto says quickly. He’s already feeling so much warmer. “You’ve been cooped up way too long with all that princely paperwork. I totally get it, I’d be itching to get out too.”
Noct shakes his head, dislodging some of the snow that has piled up on his beanie. “Yeah, but... Maybe we should have just stayed at my place.”
Prompto thinks about it – imagines the two of them nestled up on the couch, braving the snowstorm with two cups of hot cocoa and a single blanket. Probably watching a movie, accidentally meeting hands in their shared bowl of popcorn. And then falling asleep with Noct slumped against him, soft dark hair tickling Prompto’s cheek as his best friend’s head slips from his shoulder onto his chest.
It’s too risky.
It makes his traitor heart beat too fast and his dumb crush bubble up dangerously close to the surface. Out here, at least his secret is safe. The tell-tale flush in his cheeks can be easily chalked up to the chill, and there are enough thick layers of clothes between them to keep his thoughts sober.
“Don”t worry about it,” Prompto says out loud. “I’ll be fine! Just gotta bundle up a little.”
He tugs at the zipper of his jacket, but instead of pulling it up, his hand meets an unexpected resistance. “Ah, crap.”
“What’s wrong?” Noct asks, and the immediate concern in his voice makes Prompto melt a bit.
“My scarf got caught in my zipper,” Prompto sighs. It’s a nice scarf, too, the fluffiest and warmest one he owns. He’s been so careful to make sure it lasts him a good while. And now both the scarf and the zipper are gonna be ruined. What a waste.
“Let me see.” Noct steps closer and gently bats Prompto’s hands away from the collar. His breath comes out in white puffs that fade on Prompto’s face as he gently starts to pick at the wool strands. Prompto stares at him cross-eyed down his nose, quietly committing to memory every time Noct’s knuckles brush against his jaw.
Noct is always doing this kind of things without thinking. Without even realizing how much it’s killing him.
So much for safe.
“There,” Noctis says, after what feels like an eternity, and far too soon. He pulls at the zipper, which moves freely again – nicking Prompto in the lip before he thinks to lift his head.
“Ow!”
“Shit.” Noct lets go of the zipper, his eyes round with alarm. “Sorry! You okay?”
“Yeah,” Prompto whimpers, and carefully tries his lip with the tip of his tongue. The freezing air makes it sting more than it probably would, but he doesn’t taste blood, so it can’t be that bad. Still, he doesn’t protest when Noct presses his thumb to the sore spot, tracing it with a soft, warm touch.
And then, he covers it with his own lips, and it dawns on Prompto that maybe all this time Noct has known exactly what he’s been doing, and what it was doing to him.
“All good?” Noct whispers into the small space when they finally part.
“Best I’ve ever been.” Prompto grins, wide and incredulous. It tugs at the cut and makes it prickle again, but he couldn’t care less now.
He just leans back in to kiss it better.

[ LOG #1 ]
january 23rd.
i needed somewhere to compile my thoughts, seeing as i’m currently on ‘slenderman sabbatical’ according to nik and tim. i’m not allowed to post videos, or research slenderman, but they never said i couldn’t make a blog and research things adjacent to slender. ( that’s my justification anyways. )
they’ve both been keeping a close eye on me, especially when i first woke up. they tell me it’s because they don’t want me to go hurting myself or someone else again anytime soon. i think they’re paranoid, but maybe throwing that word around so loosely makes me a hypocrite.
i left the house for the first time in a week just last night. my brothers were eager for me to go. probably because i’d spent the last five days arguing with them nonstop, right for, the moment i woke up. maybe they needed the break.
i guess it also helped that they knew i wouldn’t be alone. kit, freyja and larry were all present, all night. first dinner, then bowling, then the arcade.
not once when we were out did i think about it. any of it. besides readjusting my sleeve a few times to ensure the bandages weren’t seen, i had a stress and worry free night. i ate good food, had fun and made plans for future getaways.
i didn’t think of slenderman. or the mask. or the fact that it’s missing. or the symbol. or ezra and what i did to her.
….
maybe i’m a little less carefree now.
i thought that without the mask, things would hit the fan and fast.
when i went to sleep on january 15th, i expected not to wake up again. and when i did wake up, the night of january 17th, in a dark room, i momentarily worried i’d stepped into some awful ‘afterlife’, if you can even call it that. i thought maybe all of those “i was legally dead, nothing follows!” stories were true. but soon the sound of the fan blaring in my face bought me back to my senses. i stood on legs that hadn’t walked in 48 hours and found my way to the door.
nik was ordering dinner when we came face to face. they didn’t seem to relieved to see me up and at ‘em, but i guess i had just put them through a really stressful couple of days.
tim came out of his room shortly afterwards. we ate, we talked. they set out the rules. they wanted me to take a break for at least a month from all of the research i was doing, the videos, all of the reaching out to others, said if i didn’t notice any changes in my mental state, i could get right back into things. i tried telling them that was too long, but they wouldn’t hear it.
“or what?” was a question i shouldn’t have asked. the ‘or what’ is that if they see any activity besides their own on my twitter or youtube accounts, they’d report me.
“to who?” is the question i didn’t ask. psych ward, prison, i didn’t wanna know. we left the conversation at that.
a friend of mine reached out over discord this morning, told me they may have found the company that produced the mask. we’re talking more about it some time over the next few days, and i’ll post whatever updates i find here.
god knows i have nothing better to do.
