Sometimes I stop to think of the "smart" side of nandor (if that's what you want to call it). The guy has managed to stay alive for this long, but also, the battles/wars that he has won, he knows about strategy and I'm sure that when he really tries, he's damn good at it. He has mastered the art of war. The amount of weapons he's so very skillful at using. He's not good at hypnosis and yet, he has this power to convince people to do whatever he wants. There's so much I'm leaving behind, but the point is that I love him.
We laugh at him, but he's so dangerous.

Charles adores his job. He loves the sound of the engine, standing on the podium, seeing all the excitement the fans have to give and he adores travelling the world. He would never complain about the amazing things he is doing, but if there is one thing he has learned to cherish even more than all of that, it is you.
You’ve become an integral part of his days. Whether it’s waking up next to you or calling you to check in, he knows you’ve become home to him. When people ask him how his family is doing, he never fails to mention how you are doing.
He can’t help but admire you every time you walk by him, you’re a ray of sunshine in his life; at least that’s what everyone tells him. He hasn’t heard the end of it since he revealed you were his girlfriend, from his teammate to the fans, they can all see how much you’ve brightened his soul.
“Charles?” You softly say, snapping him out of the daydream he was in.
He glances up at you, watching as you move around the room. You’re packing your suitcase, clothes thrown around the room, you’ve most certainly overpacked for the race weekend. But Charles won’t tell you. He’s tried before and it’s a lost cause.
“Hm?”
“Do you think I should take the maroon or vermillion?” You muse, grabbing two different types of dresses and placing them against each other.
Charles furrows his brows, he glances between the dresses and tries to make a decision. But if he’s honest, he doesn’t know what the difference really is. The cuts of the dress are practically identical, and the length is the same in his eyes.
“The maroon?” He says doubtfully. You screw up your nose at his decision, apparently not being what you wanted to hear.
You look at the dress Charles picked once more, and with a shrug you throw it onto the ever-growing pile of clothes in your suitcase.
“I was thinking that for your family dinner we should bring something, right?” You ask him, organising some of the mess you’ve made.
“Our family dinner,” He tells you, a soft smile resting on his lips.
“Huh?” You manage to say, dropping the clothes you were folding onto the bed he’s resting on.
“You said that it was my family dinner, but it’s ours.”
“Oh,” You exhale, taking notice of the deep sentiment behind his words.
It takes you slightly by surprise, it’s not unlike Charles to be sweet, to reassure you with words when things get hard. But this time it is almost out of nowhere. You didn’t really mean anything by your words, yet it seems they touched him in a way you’re not even sure how to describe. The one thing you do know though, is that at the end of the day, he comes home to you. Because home is wherever you are, and that is bigger than anything else.
“You’re family to me, chérie.” He says after the smallest beat of silence.
“You’re my family too.” He doesn’t waste a second in getting up from the bed and kisses you grabbing the nape of your neck and pulling you into the kiss like he won’t ever get to do so again.
There is a pause in time. While his lips are on yours, it seems like everything just stops. Leaving you to breathe in the moment, cherish the feeling.
When you pull away from the kiss, the crinkles in Charles’s eyes from the soft smile he gives you melts all your insides. You’d be a fool not to give him the same sentiment back, and so you do.
“You’ve got the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen.” He whispers, his hand caressing the side of your face.
“And you’ve got the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen.” You say back, admiring the depth of the green in them.
Though neither of you say it, too lost in the moment, it is evident that the love between you is sparkling. And you know, you just know, that Charles is the one for you; just like he knows you were made for him.
If there’s anything you know, it is that he is your family. That he is the one you love. The one you’d come home to every day and never be bored of it. Because monotony with Charles is impossible, and if there ever is, you’d still want it.

PAIRING: carl gallagher x fem!reader WARNINGS: none GENRE: angst? mostly fluff SONG INSPIRATION: there for you by martin garrix WORD COUNT: 748
navigation | inbox
Tumblr media
it had been well past dark when you got the call. carl’s words coming out frantic and rushed. this would happen on occasion, he felt the most comfort talking to you about his problems, thoughts and feelings.
as of late he had been drifting from you doing god knows what, whatever it was — it distanced the two of you. it hurt you, cut deep.
you were always connected at the hip ever since you had started high school. carl had taken an interest in you almost instantly, it started with him sitting at the other end of your empty table at lunch, a greeting of a small nod, turned into a wave and more.
it wasn’t hard to fall in love with carl, whatsoever.
it made it easier as he’d make sure no one messed with you in school,
as he’d walk you home to make sure you were safe even though you lived down the street from him.
even helped him with studies after juvie.
you wrote him every single day, not knowing if he would write back or even care.
he did.
he’d never let you know but he had saved each and every note that you sent to him in a little box under his bed, carl knew no one would ever go under there so it was his little secret.
fiona was beyond grateful for you. not just for looking out for carl, but for when you’d offer to babysit liam or help out with some chores around the house.
you were basically part of the family. being there every single time monica decided to turn up and do a shitty job of parenting then flunk off when it didn’t go to plan.
holding carl as he cried in your arms everytime, until the day when she passed and it was time where he had to finally come to terms with it all.
the point is, you had been through a lot with him so whenever you’d get a call no matter what time or day you’d pick up.
this had been one of those times.
“i-i’m sorry for calling, i k-know that i’ve not been in touch lately and i was so stupid for not c-calling you sooner — b-but i need you.”
with that said you ended the call, throwing on your slippers — crawling out of your window and making a run for the gallagher's front door.
you didn't care about the chance of someone seeing you running down the street in your pyjamas not like it'd be the weirdest anyone would see around here.
sliding to a stop as you arrived at the house, he was sat on the bottom step, head in his hands.
"oh carl..."
gasping as you saw the stitches in his forehead, instantly running over and grasping his face in your hands checking him over asking him a thousand questions at once.
but stopping mid sentence when you notice the tear stains on his cheeks - as his bottom lip wobbled at the familiarity of it all.
"im s-sorry for calling you so late-" his apologies were cut short as you pulled him into a hug. he sobbed into your shoulder, eyes tearing up as you feel him collapse into your touch.
sitting down where he had sat previously not letting go of him in the process.
carl's hands dug into the soft material of your shirt as his sobs turned to sniffles.
he pulled away just enough so you could see his face, letting you gently wipe away his tears.
“do you want to talk about it?” the only response you got was a shaken head.
“well if it helps i’ve missed your dumbass.” punching his arm lightly before leaning into his side, listening to the sound of your light breathing and dogs barking in the distance.
“'missed you too, it’s been too long since i last saw you.” you just gave him a slight nod as the sadness takes over you and a frown replaces your smile.
you and carl decided to make your way to 7/11 to get slushies, catching up as you walked home hand-in-hand, bumping each others shoulders as you walked down the path to your house.
slipping back into your window, bundling up under the covers.
carl laying on your chest, you stroking his hair lulling the both of you into a deep sleep.
you’d decided that you wouldn't let time come between the pair of you again.

can you make a vox x pregnant! fem! reader?? i just feel like he’d be over the moon for a baby, and i think the baby would almost look like an adroid? like not a whole tv screen, but a digital face almost like “^-^”
A/N: This is so cute! I enjoyed writing this a lot <3
Word count: 748
Spoiled [ Vox x F!Reader ]
“Vox, honey. I’m fine!” You laughed, walking away faster just for Vox to teleport in front of you.
“Y/N! Let me carry you both to our fucking room god damn it-Please?” He begged.
“I gave birth almost a month ago, my legs are going to be okay, Vox. I promise.”
Vox had been paranoid during your whole pregnancy, serving you like a princess and keeping every single demon away. You would be lying if you said you didn’t enjoy the extra love and attention. As soon as you gave birth, Vox nearly crashed the entire city down but held it together the moment he heard the cries.
He looked at you, smiling sweetly with the baby in your arms. Everything inside of him softened as soon as he saw it. The baby had his eyes, his claws and everything else was yours. Seeing you hold his baby in your arms so delicately and carefully with such love in your eyes made him fall in love with you all over again. He promised you the entire world.
He didn’t let you walk anywhere, insisting that you need to be carried wherever you need to go. It doesn't matter how far or how close, he will swoop you and his baby up and take you. You didn’t want to get accustomed to being spoiled rotten and you certainly didn’t want your baby to grow up entitled so you would sneak away sometimes, which would give Vox the craziest heart attacks as he frantically searched everywhere for you. As soon as he would find you, you would be scooped up without a second thought and brought to your destination. Anything you needed, anything you asked for, anything you wanted, craved or even said you liked? You would have it that instant.
The same went for his baby, his spawn. He was nervous about being a father, nervous that he’d somehow mess it up. But all of his worries melted away into nothing the moment he held his child. He knew he would fight for this baby. Any time he heard a cry, he’d be there in a snap, panicking about what’s wrong. You helped him soothe his worries by helping him learn how to take care of a baby. He learned how to differentiate cries. He constantly had a list of everything the baby needed on one of his many screens.
Velvette surprisingly adored your guys’ child. She enjoyed dressing them up in the cutest outfits and showing them off whenever she got the chance. Valentino was a different demon around the baby. He didn’t know how to react to the crying as well as everyone else did, basically just holding them away at arms length with panic on his face. He tried bringing them to one of his shoots when he was babysitting to which he got three hard smacks upside the head from you, Vox and Velvette.
Your child was spoiled all around.
Vox constantly cuddled up to you and your guys’ baby. He spoke so softly, caressing her with gentle hands. The baby turned out to be an android like you but definitely took some of Vox’s traits. One night, the two of you were having cuddle time before you had to put your baby to bed. Vox had his finger trapped under his baby’s hands and to his surprise, he felt a little jolt. A little shock. You both blinked at each other. Vox’s grin grew wide when he realized the baby got his electric powers. He was over the moon, gently swinging the baby around and peppering kisses all over their face.
“Y/N! My powers transferred over! Oh this baby is going to be the strongest little overlord Hell has ever seen!” He said, voice full of pride and joy. You smiled and hugged him arm.
“The strongest.” You gave Vox a kiss, “And we made that. Thanks to you mostly.” You winked at him.
“Oh hush. You knew what you were doing that night. With your hot, sexy, li-”
You smacked him lightly before he could continue. “Not in front of the baby! Quit that!”
He laughed, “Sorry sorry!” He gave you a kiss on your nose, “I think it’s time to sleep for this little one.”
“I’ll go put them to sleep.” You take the baby out of Vox’s hands but not before Vox could give them another kiss. “And then you and I have some catching up to do.” You winked.

constantly thinking of modern! mizu 😭 but i think it would be so cute if mizu and her partner live together in an apartment during college anddd what if mizu’s partner loves baking so mizu always comes home after class to their apartment smelling like a bakery and her partner always makes her favorite sweets 🥺 i would bake her anything she wanted
pairing: modern/college au!mizu x fem!baker!reader
warning(s): light swearing 
a/n: mizu coming home after her acting lessons with eiji: “…. cake. cookies. I need substance”
summary: mizu comes home after a long day—coming home to the whole house smelling of cookies and other sweets.
word count: 748 words / 4,202 characters 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mizu was fumbling with the keys to your apartment, her eyes narrowed as she could barley manage to wiggle the key into the lock.
she was tired, god, oh so tired.
eiji was never easy on her with their practices, particularly their fencing practices. he was an old man, yes—blind, too—but that didn’t stop him from being hard as all hell on her.
once mizu managed to get the door open, she was hit with a sweet, warm smell.
she knew you had been taking culinary classes on the side; but she had no clue it was going to lead to this.
“um.. sweetheart?”
she called into the apartment, hearing as you fumbled through the apartment with a clink and clatter—appearing around the corner with gloves on your hands and apron covered in dust.
she chuckled, “busy?”
“very!” you smiled brightly, ducking back into the kitchen. she dropped her bag by the door, hanging her keys on the key holder and sliding into the kitchen.
“I’m bakin’ you snacks,” you smiled, giggling as you pulled out what looked to be red-velvet cookies. and you had cream-cheese frosting right beside the oven.
“oh?” she let a small smile curl over her pretty pink lips, wrapping her arms around your waist, her chin rested on your shoulder.
“mhm!” you hummed, tilting your head a little to give her the access she might want, “I know how much you do all day.” 
she pressed kisses on your neck, right behind your earlobe, trailing down and pressing them against your shoulder.
“what would I be doing without you, hmm?” she hummed, slipping away and into your bedroom—where she changed into a simple sports bra and shorts, sitting on the bed and waiting for her lovely girlfriend to appear with snacks and love.
you appeared moments later, placing a plate with an array of snacks down on your beside table.
you climbed into bed beside her, resting your head on her shoulder, your arms wrapped around her tightly.
you noticed she had a few bruises and scrapes along her arms and chest. 
“you need to be more careful,” you murmured, rubbing your hands across the bruises.
“it’s just some bruises..” she whispered, rubbing her hand through your hair. “they’ll heal in a few weeks time.”
“.. right. you always say that,” you sat up a little, gazing at her with narrowed eyes, “don’t you think eiji is a little too hard on you?”
she took in a deep breath, “I don’t,” she responded, your eyes wide. “I think he does exactly what he has to do when he has to.”
you sighed, flopping back down on the bed. your back was facing her, tears in your eyes.
“hey—I—“ mizu stumbled with her words, placing down her food and crawling over to you. she wrapped her arms around you—placing kisses along your shoulders and arms.
“I-I don’t—“ you sniffled, “wanna see you hurt, mizu, what if something happens while you’re practicing? what if..”
“shh,” she shushed, running a hand through your hair, “nothing is going to happen to me while practicing, my love—“
“but it could!” your shot upwards, your eyes bubbling with tears as you gripped her shoulders, “it could, mizu. that’s what scares me.”
she sighed, seeing your distressed expression.
“I know.” she murmured, “yet I don’t want you to be constantly worrying about my well-being.”
“that’s what I’m supposed to do, mizu—I love you.” you gently caressed the side of her face, rubbing your thumb across her cheek.
supposed to do..
huh.
the concept was foreign to her—considering her last experiences with a “serious” relationship. 
was mikio supposed to worry about her, too?
she could assume it was true.
“yeah—yeah, okay,” she whispered, her voice breathy. “y-you can worry about me, I guess.”
“.. even if you don’t say I can, doesn’t mean I won’t,” you pressed a kiss against her forehead. “we’re supposed to worry about one another, mizu, that’s what a relationship is. we’re supposed to.. care about each other.”
worry about each other?
she was sure she had worried for mikio, in the past, but.. had he ever cared for her?
all of this was so.. new to her. a relationship with someone, with mutual affection and care?
“okay,” she laid down beside you, wrapping you up in her embrace. “I worry about you a lot.”
“.. yeah?” you murmured.
“yeah,” she stroked your hair gently. “don’t wanna lose you.”
you smiled softly, nuzzling yourself into her body.

Horrorfest: This Confession Has Meant Nothing (Yandere Derek Goffard x Reader)
Title: This Confession Has Meant Nothing [Yandere Derek Goffard x Reader]
For Horrorfest request:
I don't have much of an idea beyond Derek as Patrick Bateman style serial killer. You're his final girl/boy. Surviving his spree.  he hates how fascinated he is with you.
Word Count: 748
notes: yandere, mentions of killing, derek wants to (maybe) kill you; reader is a sex worker
Tumblr media
You are one, stupid ugly piece of shit. You’re worthless. Gutter trash. So far beneath him that you’re almost not worthy of killing; not worthy of him scuffing his shoes, handcrafted genuine leather that costs more than rent at your shitty apartment for a year. More, maybe. 
You are nothing. Just some bones and a meat suit, just something to bide his time with, something for him to (maybe) fuck and film and when he’s bored enough, dissect. He even tells you his real name (Derek Goffard, and you looked impressed, and you SHOULD BE) because he’s going to kill you so why not? 
You’re just something to discard with the morning trash, the morning paper, maybe his nice shoes too because he can buy a new pair whenever he fucking wants. An inconsequential speck.
And yet.
He can’t stop thinking about you. 
About the way your lip curled up at him when you realized what he’d done to Susie or Cheryl or whatever her name was. Doesn’t matter. A woman he bought for the night after he bought you, and you were pretending to get along so well that for a moment he assumed your first reaction to seeing her bleeding out from the knife sounds in her torso would be to reach out. Grief. Horror. Shock.
But no. Instead, you’d looked at him… straight at him… like you had the fucking right And you sneered. Actually sneered! With this look of hatred in your eyes that told him you thought you were better than him, that he was shit and you were gold.
You really were fucking stupid, weren’t you? 
But then how--and the thought creeps into his brain and he smacks it out viscerally with his hand--did you get away from him? How did you make it out of the condo, into the hallway, down the stairs (ALL those stairs) and out the front door into the night? How hasn’t he found you yet?
Maybe you didn’t have to be smart to survive. Yeah. That made sense. Animals survive in the wild all the time, don’t they? Not all rabbits are eaten by wolves. Some are just fast enough to scurry off into some hole to hide out in, to live another day, to fuck and breed and repeat the cycle until they are either roadkill or fall prey to an eagle or some shit like that.
You were his rabbit. 
But he wasn’t going to let you get away. He couldn’t imagine you getting away, cleaning yourself up, getting out of the city. You’d get some job that pays the rent and meet someone; maybe you two would have kids, and you’d be a grandparent or something ridiculous like that, decades down the line.
No.
That wasn’t what he wanted for you. Not when he’d killed so many others in the past few weeks. Not when he recognized you for what you were: his, in some way. His to kill. His to finish with. 
Yeah, that would be nice. After he killed you, he’d take a break from it for a while. Maybe see if he could get a promotion at his dad’s business. Find someone to get engaged with--appearances, and all that--and pop out a kid. He could always go back to killing if he felt like it.
That’s the way the world works. He was allowed to kill because he was richer and smarter and better looking. You were going to die because you were nothing beneath his (expensive) shoes. 
He just has to find you first. Oh, and when he does… he presses his face against the car window, breath fogging it up. He can just imagine what he’ll do to you. Hurt you. Kill you. Keep you? All three sounded enticing.
His fingers itch, his cock goes hard, just thinking about it.
The street lights are dim in this part of the city, but bright enough for people to make out the faces on the corners, the curve of bodies standing close to the curb. 
If you ran, you might have run right back here; where you ply your trade and get your drugs and maybe have a few people you call friends. It’s where he picked you up the first time, after all.
And he’s got all the time and money in the world to track you down again.

Prompt 5 - Bookshop AU
@wolfstarmicrofic April 5, word count 748
Sirius loved working in the bookshop. The Potter’s had asked if he would take over running it when they retired, as James was taking over the rest of the Potter’s substantial enterprise. But the bookshop was special, and they knew how much Sirius loved it. 
It had been the first place he’d ever worked. Effie had given him the Saturday job when he’d first moved in with them. He hadn’t wanted to keep asking them for money for things, so that had been Effie's way of giving him money without making him feel bad. 
He loved the smell of the place. Not only did they sell the new releases, but they also had a rare book section that Sirius sometimes just went to hide in. 
It was on one of these occasions that he came across a tall, lanky man wearing a truly horrendous jumper. It looked like something out of the ’70s, and judging by the threadbare cuffs, it might actually have come from that era. 
He was so engrossed in the book in his hands that he didn’t notice Sirius at first. Sirius tried to carefully back away so his customer could browse without interruption. But his movement must have alerted the man to his presence as he looked up straight into Sirius’s eyes. And Sirius felt his stomach flip. 
“Sorry, didn’t mean to disturb you.” He smiled apologetically at the man before him. “I can do a good deal on that one for you.” He gestured to the book in the man’s hands. “
“Oh, no… I can’t afford any of these books.” He blushed. “I just like looking at them. Choosing which ones I’d buy if I had the money. Plus the smell of them—it probably sounds silly, but I find it soothing.” 
“This is my favourite aisle. Always come down here for at least five minutes before I go home. It’s the, er, smell for me too. I don’t know what it is, but all my troubles just seem to melt away…” Sirius stopped talking before he embarrassed himself further. The man carefully replaced the yellowing book on the shelf and straightened.  
He didn’t know why, but Sirius wasn’t ready to say goodbye to this odd man. “You can come by and read as many of those books as you like. As long as you’re careful with them.” Normally, he would never let anyone actually sit and read, but he couldn’t help himself.
“Oh, are you sure? That’s incredibly kind of you. Er…” 
“Sirius.” Sirius offered. The man smiled at him. 
“Remus.” 
Everyday after that, Remus came in and spent a couple of hours in the rare books section. Thankfully, he treated the books as though they could fall apart at any moment. Sometimes, he’d bring Sirius a coffee. Other times, they’d share a sandwich. Sirius got used to seeing Remus every day and felt the huge amount of disappointment when, after over a month, Remus didn’t come. 
He wondered if he’d done something wrong. Sirius sat in the shop an hour after closing time. Just in case Remus turned up. 
When the clock passed six, he gave up. He gathered his belongings and locked up. He turned to head home when he heard the sound of pounding feet on the pavement. He looked behind him, and a very dishevelled-looking Remus was running towards him. 
“Oh my god! What happened to you?” He asked, worried about the state Remus was in. 
“I’m so sorry I’m late. Some awful person stole my bag on the tube, and it had everything in it. My phone, my wallet, even my keys. I had to walk here because I didn't have any money for the train.” 
“You had all that going on, and you still came to the bookshop? Are you mad?” Sirius asked, baffled by Remus’s choices. 
“ No, I didn’t come all this way with only the clothes on my back to come to the bloody bookshop. I came to see you, you idiot!” Remus blurted out, exasperated. “Sirius, I don’t come into the shop everyday just to look at books.” 
Something clicked in Sirius’s brain. Oh, he thought. He closed the gap between him and Remus and pressed a kiss to his lips. They parted, smiling dopily at each other.
“Come on, sweetheart. Let’s get something warm in you. Takeaway? My treat.” Sirius took his hand and pulled him in the direction of his flat. 
“Yeah, okay then,” Remus replied as he followed Sirius home.

Tumblr media
haven't you heard?
Pairing: Matt Murdock x nurse!gn!reader
Wordcount: 748
A/N: such a fun ask!! i love writing these guys :D writing comms are open btw :3
***
“Hey, sweetheart,” Matt says, voice barely above a whisper as he clambers through your window. Your head immediately shoots up from where it’s lying on the couch, an episode of an old sitcom playing forgotten on your TV.
“Matt, hey, are you okay?” You ask, rushing to him. You try to hold him at arm's length, to see his injuries, but instead he pulls you in. He hugs you close to him, cradling your head and holding you tight, breathing in your comfort. You instinctively put your arms around him, laughing lightly as he walks your bodies towards the couch. He uses his leg to make your knees buckle, and you let out a light ‘oof’ as he falls on top of you (gently, always gently).
“What’s up with you?” You laugh, scratching at his scalp at just the right way to make him melt into you. He pushes his mask off, settling into your arms, like an extremely touchy weighted blanket.
“Hard day. Tired,” he mumbles, pushing his face into your neck, his stubble tickling you. 
“Any injuries?” 
“Not that I know of.”
“Matthew.”
He sighs. “A small cut on my abdomen. That’s it.”
You run your hands down his sides, trying to feel for it, when he takes your hands in his and holds them to your chest. He lifts his head, giving you a soft kiss. “Five more minutes,” he whispers, “then you can patch me up.”
You never could say no to him. “Fine. Five more minutes.”
***
Matt’s ribs hurt. His hands hurt. He’s pretty sure even his teeth hurt. He heard Peter (Matt figured out his identity pretty quick, he doesn’t even try to mask his voice) get hit a lot harder than he did, but the kid won’t stop talking. It would be endearing, if he wasn’t annoyed.
“—and when you grabbed his arm? I mean, even I didn’t see that coming, and I can see!”
Matt hums, trying to find a way to leave and go to you. He’s pretty sure he has some bones that need to be set back into place, and sure, he could do it on his own, but he really wants you.
“Oh man, you’re looking rough,” Peter says, stopping mid-ramble to take a good look at him. 
“It’s okay, I know—”
“We should see my cousin!” Peter almost yells, enthusiastic. “They’re amazing. Did you know they’re a med student? Top of their class, about to start their residency. And when they help set my bones it doesn’t hurt as much. I swear, they have magic hands or something, everything heals faster when they help.”
Matt snorts. “I’m sure your healing ability also has something to do with it.”
He hears Peter shrug. “Sure, but they also make me hot cocoa if I’m really injured, which has to help in some capacity, right?”
Matt sighs, scrubbing a hand over his jaw. Should he just run? Just make a break for it? No, he shouldn’t. Peter might follow him and find you. He wants to have something just for him. So, with a weary smile, he turns his head in Peter’s general direction. “Where’s your cousin located?”
Peter excitedly leads him in a seemingly random direction, and Matt blames his injuries on why it took him so long to realise they were going to your building. What are the chances that Peter’s cousin and his doctor live in the same place?
Then Peter swings to your window.
Wait.
Your window?
He throws it open, calling out your name. Matt scrambles in after him, and sure enough, you’re there.
“Matt?” He hears you say, confusion laced in your voice.
The tension bleeds out of his shoulders as he awkwardly gives a half-hearted wave. “Hi, sweetheart.”
“Wait, you two know each other?” Peter asks, head swiveling. “Also, sweetheart?”
You rush over to Matt, leading him to your kitchen island and lightly pushing him to indicate he should sit down. “Long story short, Petey, this is the guy I’m seeing,” you tell him sheepishly. Before you can run off to grab your first aid kit (which is really a mini pharmacy, at this point) Matt grabs your hand and gives you a light kiss.
“Ew, gross,” Peter says, almost absentmindedly, “why didn’t you tell me you were seeing the Daredevil.”
“You never asked,” you chuckle.
Peter sputters. “I didn’t know it was an option!”
As you leave for your kit, Matt smiles at Peter. “I agree, your cousin’s pretty great.”

Ectoberhaunt Day 17: Blood
Danny tries to find a reliable method to clean his ectoplasm contaminated blood from his clothes - there's a reason his parents always wear hazmat suits.
(748 words... and an illustration!) (a fair warning: it's probably not very good, I'm just trying to practice)
_______
It started out simple enough. He changed into his human form after a nasty fight and before he knew it, the side of Danny's t-shirt was soaked red with his blood, giving off strange green glints every now and then. Unfortunate, but not that bad. 
Or that's what he thought, until he tried to wash it and realized that nothing worked. Not the usual things he used, and not even the tricks he found on the internet. Soap, water, baking soda, soaking, hydrogen peroxide, bleach…
“Ah!” 
Bleach was a bit surprising.
Danny jerked his hand away from the sizzling brownish mess that was gradually eating away at the poor fabric of his favorite t-shirt, almost knocking over the white canister of bleach nearby with the sudden movement. Good thing that he had a few shirts like that. 
He shook his fingers, slightly reddened and stinging from where they came into contact with the substance. It took him about a second of watching it bubble and increase in volume to deem it a lost cause and to hurriedly stuff it into the ecto-waste bag from the lab, whatever material it was made from thankfully withstanding the corrosive effects of the chemicals. Despite his swift action, a few leftover bubbles made it onto the floor, and proceeded to pop almost immediately, leaving nothing but a few small indentations in the tiles. 
Tumblr media
“… Man. I can't believe I use this thing regularly.” Danny mumbled, shooting a look at the canister. 
So, that is a bust then.
Shaking his head, he stood up and lifted it, he should put it back in its place. And get rid of that bag. 
The next morning, Danny frowned at his closet in irritation, looking at the splotchy stains visible on a couple of his t-shirts. He had four clean ones left, and a few on which the blood wasn't that noticeable or easily covered. One would think that with how fast he heals, this would be far less of a problem, but no. That would mean things going well for him for once and we can't have that.
... He'd have to get this figured out soon if he doesn't want to dodge even more questions, if only about why he suddenly insists on doing his laundry by himself.
Well, he'll think about it in school. Not much else he can do about it for now. He grabbed some clothes and quickly got ready. Shortly, he was leaving through the front door, yelling out a quick goodbye to no one in particular – it pleased him a little when he heard his parents respond from the basement – and headed out. 
The walk to school was uneventful, and it was kind of sad how this was becoming a reason to feel uplifted. By the time he stood before the looming building, he still had time to spare, perfect. 
____
“It sucks. Better outcome–no effect, worse outcome–when I tried bleach, it got all corrosive.” Danny threw up his hands in frustration as he walked to class with Sam and Tucker. 
“Well, then you've got no other choice but to try random stuff until you discover something that works... What abooout… baking soda? Peroxide? Too obvious… lemon juice?” suggested Tucker, reading from his PDA.
“Nah, I tried all of that, among, like, twenty other things. I'm pretty sure there are literally no methods left,” answered Danny, sounding equal parts irritated and resigned.
“Even that detergent thing your parents made specifically for ectoplasm?” 
“Yep. That smudged it a little, I think, but it's not really enough to be useful,” 
“Have you tried stuff like sea salt or sage? Y'know, old school ghost purifying things? Might work on that too.” Shrugged Sam.
"I didn't. But that's..." Danny paused briefly, considering, before nodding: “that's worth a shot. Where do I get it?” 
Sam grinned. “I've got you covered. I'll bring it to school tomorrow. You better take some rubber gloves or something though. If it works, it's not a stretch to say that it'll work on your skin too."
“Got it. Thank you, Sam, you're a lifesaver.”
____
What the hell, it works.
It took a few tries and combinations with other washing supplies, but finally, it works! 
Danny will have to remember to thank Sam again after he's done with this, the relief he felt when he saw the dark spot gradually smudge and lose its saturation was stronger than he'd care to admit.
No more worrying about this particular problem.
Good.

Obey Me Flufftober Day 24
Prompt: Flowers
Pairing: Barbatos x reader (gender neutral)
Word count: 748
A/n: It's Barbie's turn again!! I love writing romantic stuff for this demon. He's so cute.
Flowers were very important to Barbatos. He maintains a giant flower garden surrounding the Demon Lord's Castle, not to mention the countless bouquets throughout the interior. He spends a lot of time around flowers, and he has come to understand the meanings behind them in a way not many others did. Taking care of these flowers was also a nice escape from the stress of dealing with Diavolo, so Barbatos took great pride in his work.
Barbatos was hard to read sometimes. You were sure you were obvious in your romantic feelings for him, but you had no clue how he felt about you. You wanted to do something to finally confess properly, but you had no idea how to go about it. That's why you went to Diavolo for help. If anyone could help you, it would be him.
Well, as it turns out, Diavolo was not as much help as you expected. In fact, he was in a similar boat. Despite being Barbatos's boss, Diavolo almost never knew what to make of him, and trying to read Barbatos was nearly even impossible, even for someone like Diavolo. However, he did offer you one piece of advice: Barbatos really likes flowers. That was a little shocking to you at first, but the more you thought about it, the more it made sense.
Now that you had something to work off of, you decided to start forming some kind of plan. What you came up with was simple enough, at least for you. Since Barbatos likes flowers, you figured someone like him would be familiar with flower meanings as well. This meant that you had to be careful with which flowers you picked, just in case you gave him the wrong signals. After plenty of research, you settled on blue Forget-me-nots. They were simple, but they were beautiful. And, according to your research, they represented love and respect, which seemed perfect for this occasion.
It took some time, but, eventually, you were able to catch Barbatos when he wasn't busy. From the expression on his face, you knew that he knew something was up, which made you much more nervous than you already were. Something about the object of your affections being aware of your feelings before your confession was terrifying, especially when it was someone like Barbatos. Still, you persisted and walked up to Barbatos, flowers in hand.
When he spotted the flowers, you could swear you saw his eyes light up just the smallest bit. It was adorable, but you drew no attention to it lest you accidentally shut him down. Instead, you present the flowers and shyly confess your feelings for him. Barbatos simply stands there and listens to you, waiting patiently for you to finish your confession. When you finish, Barbatos still does not speak, and you begin to feel nervous about his reaction.
Luckily, he does not keep you waiting for long. Barbatos gently takes the flowers from you and lifts them up to his face for an inspection. He comments on your choice of flower, and you assume you picked the right ones based on his seemingly pleased reaction. Then he looks back at you and smiles. It is a gentle smile unlike his usual, more professional smile. It makes your heart flutter, and you wish you could take a photo of him in this moment. As you unknowingly stare at his face, Barbatos steps closer to you and slowly takes your hand in the one not holding the flowers and gives you a gentle squeeze. This knocks you out of your trance, and you focus back in on the moment.
He doesn't reject you. Really, it's quite the shock. You did not expect to make it this far, and you're not entirely sure where to go from here. Barbatos does, however, and he doesn't mind taking the lead. He lifts your hand up to his lips and kisses it gently, and you're certain this means he returns your feelings. To ease any lingering doubts, you ask if he accepts, to which he says yes. A giant grin appears on your face, and you're unable to contain your excitement. He smiles as well, though a smaller smile than your own. It's a nice moment with a happy ending, and you're so glad you could make Barbatos happy as well.
Diavolo was right, Barbatos really did like flowers. And, though he would never mention it out loud, forget-me-nots had always been his favorite.

Little Things They Do... (Pt. 3)
Little things they do to show you they love you
Read the other parts: Part 1 // Part 2
Featuring: Reiner Braun, Annie Leonhart, Pieck Finger, Zeke Jaeger, Bertholdt Hoover, Porco Galliard
Warning: Modern setting
Word Count: 748
Author Note
Hi! This will be the last of the series. I've linked the previous parts for you to read. Here's the song I listened to while writing this. I feel like this part is more gloomy because hey I'm kind of a mess rn haha. I hope you still enjoy it, tho. Again, these actions can be perceived platonically or romantically, whatever suits you.
Tumblr media
Reiner
Reiner worries about you a lot even though you're a grown adult, fully capable of doing stuff on your own. When you both are apart from each other, you keep each other updated. What you both are doing, where you're at, who you're with. After you got your own car, Reiner text you to drive safe all the time. Especially when you're alone or during the winter. He can help you if you cut your finger when cooking, he can help you if you're sick from walking in the rain, but he can't really help you if anything happens while you're driving alone. He doesn't want to think of the worst case scenario. Whatever your relationship is with him, whether it's romantic or platonic, he doesn't want to lose you.
Annie
Annie is not the type of person who will explicitly say she loves you. She is also not a big fan of physical contact. You are no exception, but she really does care for you a lot. So, whenever you're out with her and need to cross a street, she will hold your hand. She doesn't ask you if you need help crossing the street, nor does she glances at you and smile (like you often sees in movies). Annie just automatically holds your hand and leads you forward, looking both ways to make sure everything is safe.
Pieck
Pieck is a busy lady, okay? She works hard, every single day. She's highly professional and her colleagues count on her a lot. However, when it's just the two of you, she puts away any mental to-do list or any work-related stuff. She just wants to be with you, listening to you talking. She pays attention to you and you only. Of course, she will talk about work if you ask her about it. Though, she'd rather spend her free time not worrying about work. She feels like she can relax and be her everyday, cheerful self with you.
Zeke
Having a relationship in general is not easy, but having a relationship with Zeke is definitely on the next level. He can be stubborn at times, and even though he doesn't mean it, he might say things that hurt you. Not to mention, his *cough* family issue. Loving Zeke, as a friend or as a lover, is not easy. You both argue a lot, often times resulting in one of you taking time away from the other. Most of the time, it's you who request a time off. Now, Zeke is quite a prideful man alright. He doesn't go mushy and beg you to stay. He let you go be alone for a few days, but eventually he will be the one who apologizes first. He doesn't do that with other people, but he does for you. Because you never leave him, and he would love to keep it that way.
Bertholdt
Bertholdt can be shy at times, especially when he just met someone for the first time. Maintaining eye contact while someone else is talking to him can be difficult. He felt uncomfortable, like the other person might discover who he really is just by staring into his eyes. How insecure he feels sometimes, the dark thoughts that he keeps for lonely nights, and other things private. You are the only exception. You don't judge, you show him that hey, it's alright to be a little messed up sometimes. You've seen him in states that nobody else has ever seen, even his parents. That is why he's not afraid to look into your eyes. He appreciates you, and he lets you in.
Porco
Porco can be passive-aggressive at times and most of the time he might think he's always right, especially when it has been a long day for him. People might start an argument, or they'll let it go while mentally cursing the man. You, on the other hand, you're one of the few people who can deal with him. Instead of starting an argument (causing him to get worked up) or walking away (and seeing him with a smug expression), you just simply say "Alrighty~ Agree to disagree" It's a new response that Porco didn't anticipate, and you say it with the most chill tone/expression. After awhile, he tried not to be so snappy and cocky with you. He even gives up his need to always be right. You can tell him the rain happens because the angels are taking a piss, and he'll just nodded. "Whatever you say..."
Tumblr media
Idk man, I just really love Bertholdt, Reiner, and Zeke. Precious men. Deserves better. I love them.
Anyway, thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy it. Lemme know what you think in the comment :)

read time: 7 mins 44 seconds
Tumblr media
The old warehouse that your team had raided the past month came into view. Javi drove along the dirt road and hummed to a tune on the radio.
The closest you were ever going to get to driving with a boyfriend and singing songs in the car. Right?
The car pulling up and the slams of the car doors should have been enough to run anyone out of that building. It was swept by security every night and made sure it was abandoned.
“What do you think your going to find in here?” Javier asked, pulling up the do not enter tape around the entrance. You shrugged. “I dunno. It just feels wrong.”
The empty building echoed from your heels. You and Javi walked around the first floor.
“This is just a big empty box of concrete,” he sighed, walking over to a pile of scrap wood and kicking it ever so slightly. The sound from that bounced off the walls, startling a few stray birds.
This sudden noise scared you. You turned around to reach for your gun and tripped on your heels. Javi saw this and reached out his arms, catching you in his embrace. You were breathing heavy as he held you in his arms.
“Just some birds, mi amor.” he chuckled, helping you re gain your balance.
Following him upstairs, you couldn’t get his strong grip on you off your mind.
Upstairs was more complicated. There were still abandoned work benches and offices that weren’t swept out in the demolition. Any homeless person or one of Escobar’s men could have snuck in easily and stayed here for a while. You were sure the guards didn’t check every single office, as there were too many.
You searched the various papers left on the benches and ground, nothing interesting stood out to you.
“Are you gonna help?” you asked Javi, bent down going through a stack of files about grain sale statistics in Spanish. “Shh,” Javi said, silencing your hands filing through papers. You hadn’t noticed how quiet he got and how far ahead of you he was.
“What’s the matter?” you asked, standing up into full view and shrugging your hands.
The door to one of the offices swung open. A man was talking very loudly into a phone in one hand, a gun in the other.
You turned to grab for your gun. He was standing mostly in your view, and saw you first. He mumbled something in Spanish and didn’t hesitate to aim at you. He shot his gun as you recognized what was happening. You moved fast enough for him to shoot your shoulder.
Javier panicked at how quickly the scene happened. Without a second thought, he aimed his gun at the man and shot him in the chest a few times.
“Y/N!” he yelled, rushing around the tables to find you. He found you flat on your back, eyes wide open in shock. “Shit, shit.” he whispered, falling to the ground and taking off his suit jacket to wrap around your shoulder.
“We’re going to need to walk, can you walk?” he asked. You stared up at him in unimaginable shock, unable to answer. “Y/N! Shit. Have you ever been shot before?” he asked, his right hand moving for his walkie talkie strapped to his belt. “A-28 we need medical at 748 Carerra 48,” he said urgently, repeating the message into the box until he got a dispatch response.
You were bleeding and you were bleeding a lot. Your breathes became choppy as Javier held you in his arms. He kept wondering if he shot an artery or not. “Stay with me, please.” he whimpered, moving your hair out of your face. He had accidentally wiped blood on your face. He looked at his hands, and then his shirt. All were deeply painted with crimson. “Please, no, please don’t do this.” he pleaded, holding your body close to his.
“Javi…” you whispered in his ear. “Everything is going to be okay.” he assured you. Shouting came from downstairs.
“Up here!” Javier yelled. Paramedics filed into the office space and spotted you two quickly. He helped them lift your body onto a stretcher. Your wide eyes stayed locked on him. “I-I have to go.” he said to you, holding your hand and following you down the stairs. “No,” you muttered, tightening your grip on him. The shallowness of your voice tore him apart.
The caution tape had been cut by the paramedics. When he reached outside, the majority of your squadron was out watching the scene unfold. The ambulance was small, big enough only to fit you and some paramedics. “No,” you begged, reaching your good arm towards him. “Don’t-” you sighed quietly, only enough for Javier to hear.
“Leave.” you finished. His last view of you was your longing eyes locked with his and his suit coat wrapped around your wound. The dark blue had become soaked with a purple/red. The back doors to the ambulance slammed shut. Javier was left in the dust from the now screeching vehicle making its way as carefully as it could down a dirt road.
Javier broke down on his knees. His bloodied hands cradled his face. He publicly cried for the first time since he was a child. The whole squad watched him break down in front of the scene.
“Javi,” Steve said, carefully approaching him and placing his hand on his shoulder. Javi shrugged off his hand. He returned to his feet, used his wrists to clear off any tears on his face, and rolled up his sleeves. Steve walked back to the police car with him.
The view of the man who had shot you came into place. He was being carried out by other paramedics. Javier recognized him as one of Escobar’s men. His heart sank.
Your feeling about this warehouse was right.
-
Steve stood with Javi on one side, Connie on the other. They watched you through the glass of your bedroom. Javier was leaning on the wall, resting his head against it. His eyes kept fluttering shut until he was reminded of his surroundings and was flung back into this horrible reality.
“Maybe you should get some sleep,” Connie suggested, tucking her clipboard under her arm. “Nah,” Javi said, opening his eyes once again to look at you. “I got her, you don’t have to worry.” she re assured Javi. “She’s the best in Colombia,” Steve said smugly, swinging an arm around his wife. He was happy to have a reason to spend time with his wife during work hours, but upset over the circumstances.
His eyes moved to the hospital couch next to your bed. Then back to you.
They removed the bullet successfully. It didn’t hit an artery, but a major vein going towards it. After a two hour long surgery, you came out with a wrapped shoulder extending down to your elbow, and a recovery note from the doctor. You were going to be fine. They put you in a medicated sleep for a while, just to let the shoulder get used to the placement and to heal before you were awake and moving around. You were expected to make a full recovery.
“It’s getting late, man.” Steve said, checking his watch. A little after nine. “You should go home.”
Javi scoffed at the suggestion. “Not until she’s awake.”
Steve sighed. “She’s going to be fine, you need to-”
“I can’t. I almost lost her. The thought of her dying and never coming back scares the absolute shit out of me.” he hissed at Steve. Steve’s eyes widened as he stepped back. “You good?” he asked. “No. I-I…”
“You like her, don’t you.”
Javi didn’t answer, instead just crossed his arms and looked at you. He closed his eyes and took a deep breathe. “I don’t think I could live without her,”
“Then do something about it!” Steve exclaimed, smiling. “She cares about you, man. She cares a lot about you. So do something, please. I’m begging you!” he laughed, his hand slapping Javier’s back.
“Have a good night, my friend.” he smiled, trailing off into the hallway.
He made his way quietly into your room. He slowly shut the door behind him. He took off his watch, his belt, his shoes, and removed his badge and gun holster from his waist and set them down at the table next to the couch.
He made his way over to you. His thumb brushed over your forehead as his hand caressed your cheek. The blood had returned to your face, you weren’t so deathly pale anymore. “Good night, mi amor.” he whispered, giving you the softest kiss on your forehead.
He unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt and pulled up his sleeves. He attempted to get comfortable on the hospital couch and shut his eyes.
-
Your eyes fluttered open just a bit before dawn. Putting the pieces together, you reached over to touch your wound. You seered at the touch, wiping your eyes instead and taking in your surroundings.
Hospital. You were well aware of what happened and remembered it so clearly. You thought you were going to die, die without holding Javier Peña at least once.
You blinked and turned your head to look at the sunrise. To your surprise, there he was. Javier Peña asleep on a couch. How long had he been there?
He looked exhausted. His hair was disheveled, his freshly new outfit was already wrinkled. You remembered how he took off his suit jacket and draped it over your arm. He was always such a gentleman, even when he didn’t try.
The beautiful Colombian sunrise began. The deep pinks, yellows, and oranges never failed. Your arm hurt horribly, but you weren’t concerned at that moment. Javi was there, everything was okay. Letting your mind wander, you lay waiting for him to wake up or a nurse to wander in.
-
“And everything is feeling alright?” the nurse asked. “Mhm, yes. Thank you,”
Javi shot up straight out of his slumber at the sound of your voice.
“Well good morning to you,” you chuckled, smiling at his sudden awakening. “Why didn’t you wake me?” he asked, checking his watch. Seven thirty.
“You looked so tired, I couldn’t.”
Javi got up and went to your side. He grasped your hand, and knelt down. “I’m so happy your okay,” he sighed, kissing your knuckles.
“You alright?” you asked, eyebrows raised with a suspicious tone. “Better than alright,” he smiled, looking down at your hands. He wanted to slap a ring on there as soon as he could.
Connie bursted through the door holding your breakfast tray.
“Ah, so you finally told her Javi. Congrats, the two of you.” she smiled, setting the food down in front of you. Swiftly turning to leave, Connie didn’t realize she spoiled his whole plan.
Javi had the look of defeat on his place, wishing this could have gone so much differently.
“What is she talking about?” you asked. Javi sighed. “I wish this could have been under better circumstances,” he sighed, getting up and rubbing the back of his neck anxiously.
“And?” you asked, nervous to what he was about to say.
He took a deep breathe.
“Seeing you on the brink of death scared the shit out of me Y/N. I thought I lost you.”
“What?”
“Steve told me something a few days ago in the break room-”
“Oh?” you asked, already knowing what Steve said. What a fucking snitch.
“And I really thought to myself. What am I looking for? I spent all my time with these other women, searching for something to fill the void. Nothing ever seemed good enough from them. It was never enough. But what Steve said made me think. Why was I seeing other women when the one I truly wanted was in front of me the whole time?”
Your jaw was dropped.
“I’m stupid, okay? I-I… watching you grab for me in the ambulance broke my heart. It made me realize things I never thought I wanted before.”
“And what’s that?” you asked, a smirk appearing on your lips.
“You.”
“Really?” you smiled.
“Yes!” he exclaimed, returning to his knees. “If you would have me…” “Of course I’ll have you,” “Please, Y/N L/N, be mine.”
He wrapped his arms around you, cautious of your wound. His cologne reeked off of him along with sweat, but you didn’t care. You felt his mustache tickle your shoulder.
“I won’t ever let this happen again. I won’t ever let you go.” he whispered in your ear.
“Like I’m ever going to let you leave,” you chuckled.
Who would have known Javier Peña’s street days would end with a single bullet.

toxic (748 words)
Toxinelle/Marinette/Shadybug drabble thing
The apartment was a shell. 
The furniture they retained from the move sat in the positions they logically belonged to but there was no heart to their placements. The objects knew they were miles from where they were supposed to be and languished in their new dusty light. The space between them, places that should have contained something else — not something physical but a concept — was chillingly bare. Marinette doubted anyone had sat on the couch in a few days or treaded across the creaky floorboards in any direction other than to the bedrooms. The kitchen that had sung in its constant use; pots and pans clanging, cupboard doors slamming and kettles hissing — was quiet.
The lack of something pressed into her skin, a constant companion to her nowadays. 
Marinette could have tried to make this home, she had tried at first, back before she’d resolved herself to seek fulfilment through other means. Made dinner — burnt dinner — decorated the table and sat at its head and waited. If she hadn’t thrown out the food two months ago it would still be there, under the layer of mould it had accumulated. She tried to fill the house with song and light but no matter how many curtains she parted it never reached the shadows. Her parents were never home to see her efforts.
So she gave up and did her best not to spend too much time inside. Her new hobby helped greatly with that.
She hung her jacket up, dumping her belongings by the door and making her way through the apartment to close an open window. This may not be home but she didn’t want stray animals to make it theirs. As she passed the couch, her eyes caught on the enigmatic grin of her a certain stray cat, lazed across the disused cushions. He allowed her three seconds to process his appearance before leaping up and grabbing her wrist, pulling her against him.
“Found you.” 
She fought against his grip, weaker as Marinette than she was as Toxinelle. His grin only widened, flashing razor sharp fangs she’d seen tear through metal (and bloodier things.)
“It wasn’t that hard. Stop looking impressed with yourself.”
Griffe Noire dropped her wrist, putting distance between them as easily as he’d removed it. He detransformed, leaving the haughty Adrien standing in her living room. His height and slender frame was less elegant and more awkward as his civilian self — as if being human returned gravity to his body and mind. She already knew the depths of his mind quite well.
“I only had to find it ‘cause you wouldn’t tell me,” he said. If it had been Griffe Noire there would have been a smile to it, constantly making everything a game. Adrien, even though he was but another side of the same person, said it with a sulky tone. 
“I can’t have you here if my parents come home. Especially as Griffe Noire.”
“As if they would. You said they're never home with all the work they have to do to pay for your tuition.” He flopped onto the couch again, throwing her previous words back at her with an ease that didn’t articulate the slap to the face they were for her. Things she’s admitted in confidence tossed around like nothing when it had taken her everything to admit. He seemed to notice her silence and realise the impact of his words. “Sorry. I didn’t mean it like that. Just that this would be the perfect place to plan and hang out. I'm a bit sick of the sewers. It wouldn’t be weird for us as civilians to be here either and it's private.”
“No. Not here. I’m keeping any chance of them knowing about this out of it.”
This was her line.
Adrien examined her for a moment. The strength of her stance and the resolute set of her jaw. He could care less if his father became embroiled in this, as long as it didn’t stop him from doing it. 
“Okay. Do you want to go now?”
Marinette looked around the apartment, she wasn’t sure for what. Maybe for an excuse not to say yes. To see her parents walk through that door and finally figure it all out. Take away her miraculous because she wouldn’t stop them and free her from the burden she’d brought upon herself. 
Then again, she quite liked tearing shit apart.
“Let's go.”
-
Did you understand it? I'm I going in a direction you like? While I love a lot of peoples takes on the concept of the reverse world and have a few of my own, this particular is going for it all being quite toxic in its short amount of words.
Trying to get myself motivated to write but I am a fickle thing
Did you like it?? let me know and reblog blah blah blah etc.

a/n this kinda sucks ass but I was bored and wanted to post something
Tumblr media
Eddie was startled out of his sleep by the loud ringing that came from the hallway just outside of his room. Glancing over at the clock on his nightstand, he squinted at the lines pointing just past 4AM. He groaned to himself, wondering who the hell would be calling his home, especially this early.
He leaned up on his forearms, bringing his large hands to wipe the sleep off his face. He pushed himself up and went to answer the phone, the ringing beginning to cause a throbbing in his head. A heavy sigh fell from his lips as he picked up the phone.
"Munson residents? What can I do for you?"
"Eddie.."
If the ring of the phone didn't wake Eddie up, your voice surely did. His eyes went wide as he suddenly stood up straighter, it took him a moment to register the weak and upset tone of your voice.
"What's up sweetheart? You okay?"
"No, I- I have really bad cramps, and I'm all out of painkillers and I don't wanna wake my mom up and it hurts too much to walk around and I don't know what to do." You rambled, the tremble in your voice worsening the longer you spoke.
"Hey hey hey! It's okay, uh, did you want me to get some for you?"
"Yes please, I'm sorry if I woke you up.."
"No no, I was up! I was doing.. homework! Really gotta pass that class. Uh, yeah! I'll grab you something and bring it over."
"Thank you Eddie." You mumbled softly, guilt seeping into your tone.
"No problem, I'll see you soon."
With that he hung up, running to his room to throw on the first shirt he saw before shoving his sockless feet into his Reeboks. Just as he was about to open the door he remembered Wayne would be home in the next hour or so. He groaned as he turned around and found a pen and paper, writing a note so Wayne knew where he was.
With that he bolted out of the trailer and into his van, pulling out of the trailer park and onto the road recklessly.
The drive was relatively short, no more than twenty minutes. He pulled up on your street, parking on the side of the road as your parents car took up the driveway. The bottle of painkillers rattled in the cheap shopping bag as he jogged around your house and to your bedroom window, knocking on the glass softly.
The faint sound made you jump before you saw the dark mane that accompanied the sound. Breathing out a sigh of relief, you struggled to sit up without groaning, walking over to open your window for him. He was smiling up at you for a moment, how mouth opening to make a light hearted comment, before recognizing your tear stained cheeks.
His face fell, worry filling his eyes at the tears filling yours. He pulled himself up and climbed into your room before setting the bag down on your desk and opening his arms, letting you fall into them. His hand cupped your head as the other rested on your back; giving soft caresses.
Eddie rested his head on top of yours and rocked you back and forth, only moving to place a sweet kiss in your hair. He hated seeing you like this.
After what you could only estimate was thirty seconds, you separated from Eddie. His arm that rested on your back moved to grab a hold of the bag before holding the bag out to you. With a soft whisper of thank you, you took the bag and went to the bathroom.
When you returned, Eddie had stripped down to his boxers and laid in your bed. When his eyes caught your frame his arms opened, a mirrored action from only a minute ago.
You held your lower stomach as you walked over to lay in his arms, the ache becoming worse with each passing second. The action did not go unnoticed by Eddie, causing him to reach over and open the painkillers, taking two out before handing them to you. You accepted the tablets and snatched the bottle of water on your bedside, swallowing them down.
And finally you were in his arms. The side effect of the painkillers mixed with the large hands comfortingly caressing your body forced your eyelids to close, the monthly week of pain wasn't nearly as hard as it used to be.

"you're such a goof, did you know that?" you say jokingly the moment he looked down at his phone.
jake rolls his eyes, "look who's talking."
you gasp in shock, "excuse me, you're the one who is taking me out on a date right now."
"this." he says pointing back and forth between you and him, "this is not a date." he says scoffing.
"it sure feels like it, i mean who comes to my dorm with a bouquet of flowers and then basically drags me out of the house to take me somewhere? besides someone who wants to take me out on a date of course." you argue, rolling your eyes.
"then i'll ask the driver to take us back." he says as he's about to tap the driver's shoulder.
you roll your eyes, "whatever loser."
jake sits back properly in his seat and goes back on his phone, "this is not a date."
"yeah yeah, whatever lover boy." you tease as you turn your head to look outside the window, "where are we going again?" you ask.
jake shrugs, "just sit there and wait till we arrive, we will be there soon."
you roll your eyes and continue the rest of the ride in silence.
it didn't take long to arrive at the most beautiful area where the skies were clear and the ocean waves calmly crashed.
"where are we?" you ask looking around as jake grabs three thick blankets from the back of the car.
"a late-night beach...hangout?" he says in an attempt to not say the word, "date."
"i know you want to say it, it's a date." you tease as the two of you walk onto the soft sand. "i thought we weren't supposed to go to the beach late at night." you add.
"i didn't know you were a rule follower." jake quickly says.
"i'm not, i just don't want to go to jail." you laugh as he walks further down the shore a bit closer to the water. "can i ask you a question jake?"
jake hums in response.
"what are we?" you ask as he lays the thicker blanket on top of the sand.
he shrugs, "i'd like to think we're good friends."
"that's all?"
"best friends?" he adds.
you nod, but you can't help but overthink. do best friends really show up out of nowhere with flowers and take you out on a date? or a hangout?
"lay down." he says as he lays on the blanket. "isn't the sky pretty tonight?" he asks.
you hum, "it is." you turn your body towards him, "do you think the water is cold?"
"what?"
"i said, do you think the water is cold?" you ask again.
"probably."
you stand up and begin to strip your layers of clothes off one-by-one, "well it shouldn't be that cold right?"
"y/n, it's like fucking freezing." jake says quickly averting his eyes from your body.
"but like, not hypothermia freezing right?" you ask, beginning to walk off with only your panties on. "i've always wanted to go skinny dipping before."
"in this weather, really?" jake asks, raising his voice a bit as you walk away further and further into the water. jake looks back at you and sees you submerged in the water. he can't make out much since it's dark, and the only light is the moon. he can see your panties left on the dry sand, and the rest of your clothes besides him on the blanket. he shakes his head and gets up.
"it's not that cold, you should join me." you shout..
jake takes his shirt off and his pants, leaving him in his boxers, "do i have to strip?" he shouts back at you as he walks towards the water.
you shake your head, "only if you want to."
"look away!" he shouts as he begins to pull down his boxers.
he gets in the water quickly, the cold you claim to not exist quickly freezing his body. "shit y/n! it's cold as fuck."
you laugh, "yolo, right?"
jake gets closer towards you, the darkness of the ocean concealing your body parts from each other. the tension between you two is something everyone is able to see. best friends my ass, you thought.
you move closer, your body's aching to touch. "y/n." he says breathlessly.
oh fuck it, right? you put your hands on the sides of his face and pull him in for a kiss.
