if you're still taking them I would love to make a request for Eddie and Roan! do you know how sometimes little kids will call their parents workplace just to talk about the most random things or just ask some totally super important question? I feel like roan would do that with the reader and Eddie
thank you for your request!! eddie and roan —roan learns how to use the phone, 1.3k
Eddie used to feel nervous when the phone rang for him at work. "Call for baby Munson!" shouted across the shop while Eddie was usually flat on his back under a truck or elbow deep in a scooter engine, he'd get this pit in his stomach thinking something was wrong. 
It was usually daycare. Roan's sick, Roan's wet herself and her spare clothes aren't here, is Roan allergic to veggie sticks? Because she's saying she is. 
But nowadays, a phone rings for him and it's almost always you with something nice to say. You miss him. You've been thinking about him. All manner of gooey soft confession that has him clutching the phone like a loser, desperate for your voice. 
He springs away from his lunch when he's called. Darwin gives Eddie a funny look as he passes the phone. 
Eddie shrugs it off. "Hello?" he asks. "Y/N?"
"It's me!" 
Eddie feels his eyebrows leap up. "Hi, me." Roan hadn't ever used the phone unassisted, to his memory. "Where's mom?" 
"She's trying to fix your hair dryer." 
Eddie hears it, then, the roaring blow in the background. "Why does it sound like that?" 
"She dropped it. I think she's sad." 
"Ro, I fixed it!" you shout, followed by an even louder howling of air, and a heavy silence. "Okay, I didn't." 
"Is that why you called me?" Eddie asks, bemused.
"No, I called you because I want to know how they make corndogs. How do they get the hot dog inside of the corn, dad?" 
Eddie puts his hand on the wall to steady himself as he laughs. "You wanna know how they make corndogs? Are you gonna make some?" 
"I could if I knew how!" she stresses. "I'd ask mom, but she's pre-oc-u-pied."
"That's a big word, babe, where'd you learn that one?" Eddie asks, impressed. 
"Dad, corndogs!" 
"Right, right. Okay, well. They put the hot dog on the stick first, and then the corn part is actually batter. They roll the hotdog around in the batter and cook them together in the fryer. So it isn't the hotdog going into the corn, it's actually corn going on the hotdog." 
"Batter like for cakes?"
"No," he laughs fondly. "And it's not sweet corn, babe, it's something called cornmeal. Maybe we can make some this week, wouldn't that be fun? Then you can see how they make them for real. I think that would be super fun."
His bubbly tone attracts the attention and subsequent laughter of his colleague. He throws them all the bird, totally content and more than happy with his life and his curious girl. 
"Yes," Roan cheers, dragging the 's' syllable until she's out of breath, "oh my god that would be so fun!" 
"Okay, then that's what we'll do. Are you being good for mom?" 
"I'm being awesome." There's a weird crunching noise. "Did you hear that? I think she put the screwdriver in the hairdryer again." 
"Again?" Eddie asks worriedly. 
Roan must put the phone down. Eddie genuinely can't hear a thing, until you pick up the receiver and say, "Hallo?" 
"You blowing up the house?" 
You make a pleased noise that has his heart doubling in size. "Hi, Eddie. I'm having a technological mishap, but rest assured, we are in no danger of explosion. Anymore. What did you call for? It's lunch, isn't it?" 
"Actually, Roan called me. She wanted to know how to make corndogs." 
"You do know everything," you say. "Go and eat your lunch, baby. We'll still be here when you get home, yeah? I love you. Roan, come and tell daddy you love him before we hang up." 
A small silence. "Dad?" Roan asks. 
"Yep, still here." 
"I love you, okie dokie? Please come home in an hour."
Eddie laughs warmly. It's more like four hours, but whatever she wants to think is what he'll tell her. "I love you. Tell Y/N I love her, too, will you? Thank you." 
"Yes!" Her voice comes quieter, "I love you," Roan says to you. 
"I love you, too. Let's make dinner." 
You must think he's said goodbye, because the phone gets a knock and the dial tone sounds. 
You're sitting at your desk shovelling pretzels into your mouth while you click around your emails when the phone rings. You slide it between your ear and shoulder, pausing your frankly messy chewing. "Hello and good afternoon, Y/N L/N speaking, how can I help?" 
"Y/N?" Roan says worriedly.
"Roan? What's the matter?" 
"Oh, it is you! It didn't sounded like you at first, that's weird." 
"Sorry, gorgeous, I was using my voice for fancy grown ups."
She giggles like this is the funniest thing you've ever said to her, "You're being funny," she praises. 
You're secretly incredibly pleased. Making your six year old laugh never gets old. "So nothing is wrong, then? You know, those numbers on the fridge are for emergencies." 
"This is an emergency." 
"Yeah, I bet. What's going on? Where's dad?" 
"He's making toffee cake for you. I was helping him do the buttercream but my arms got tired from whisking." 
"Is that why you're calling me?" 
"Yeah." 
You dig for a saltier pretzel and chew thoughtfully. "What's the tiredest part? Your shoulders?" 
"And my fingers." 
"Asked daddy to kiss 'em better?" 
"I would but he's trying to be perfect about the cake. It looks yummy." 
"Did you get to lick the bowl?" 
"Yeah, and dad let me eat a spoon of the melted chocolate. It was pretty great." 
You grin into the receiver. "I bet it was amazing. Maybe you can try and rest your poor arms. Make daddy pour you a big glass of cranberry juice with the heart shaped ice cubes and watch TV until I come home, okay? That's an order."
"Okay," she laughs. "When are you coming home?" 
"I can leave in about twenty minutes, and the drive home takes another twenty, so…" You check the time on your computer. "I think by five." 
"Ugh, that's forever away." 
"I know. Do what I said, okay? Sit down on the couch. I can have a little look at your arms when I come home, maybe we can have a pamper night tonight. We can use some of my fancy lotion and rub it in like a massage," you say. 
"That sounds nice," she hums. 
"Alright, sweetheart. Listen, can I talk to dad before I go back to work?" 
"Yep, yep." You know what's coming as soon as she inhales. "Daddy!" she bellows at the top of her lungs, "Y/N's on the phone!" 
It's flattering how swiftly he gets there. "Hey?" he asks. 
"Hi, do we need anything for me to grab on the way home? I know you ran out of deodorant, was there anything else?" 
"Nothing I can think of. You okay?" 
"I'm awesome. I told Ro you'd make her a big cup of juice for her sore arms." 
"She told you about those, huh?" He kisses her audibly. "She's the best mixer ever. I was thinking we'd change her name to kitchen aid." 
You choke on a pretzel. Coughing, you laugh through a chastisement. "You leave her name alone. Roan is a nice name all by itself." 
"If you insist," he says grandly. "See you in an hour? I've got a surprise for you." 
"I can't wait," you say. You'll pretend to be totally surprised at his cake, no problem. Anything to make him smile. "Love you both. See you soon." 
"Love you. Say love you," Eddie prompts. 
"I love you!" Roan yells. "I'll make dad put your blanket in the dryer!" 
You put down the phone with a small smile, wondering if you can weasel your way past your eagle-eyed coworkers for an early finish.

Would You Have Me?- Sirius Black.
Pairing: Sirius Black x fem!reader
Summary: Y/N is the only person in Sirius’ life he truly cares about, he wouldn’t mind if it was only them
Warnings: modern high school au!, written in third person (she/her pronouns) (1.6k words)
Author's note: this is a reupload, I wrote this a while ago!
Reblogs and comments are greatly appreciated<3
⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡ ⟡
The final bell rang, it was Friday hundreds of students poured out of the school doors ready for the weekend. Y/N was among the swarm of kids, headed toward her bus. Thankful it was the weekend, this week had been a lot on her. Off in the distance, she could hear her name over the loud voices. Looking around shielding her eyes from the sun, she could see a tall boy headed her way. 
It was Sirius
"There you are," he said when he reached her, throwing his arm around her shoulder "Where are you off to?" he asked
"My bus" she pointed to the big yellow vehicle
"C'mon, I'll take you home" he offered
"Really?" she asked
"Yeah, you can tell me all about your day"
They walked to the student parking lot, Sirius drove a black '89 Dodge charger. It was a little squeaky, but he loves that car. 
He opens the passenger door for Y/N, closing it once she was in. Sirius Drove the long way to her house so they could talk longer.
"How was your day, dear?" he asks pulling out of the campus
"It was fine, I'm glad the week is over. Everything has been a lot lately" 
It was their junior year, everyone is starting to worry about their futures. Their career, college, exams, everything stressful. 
"I know what you mean, it feels like we have to know everything about the future before it happens" he replies
They continue their conversation all the way to Y/N's house. They've always been able to tell each other everything without feeling judged. Nowadays, it feels like you have to make sure everything is perfect because the whole world is watching, waiting for you to fall.
He was her safe place, and she was his. 
Sirius pulls up in front of her house, parking the car.
"Thanks for the ride, Sirius" she says opening the car door
"Of course, love. Hey, do you wanna hang out tomorrow?" he asks
"Yeah, sure I'll ask my parents. I'll text you" she answers
"Great, I'll see you soon then" He smiles
"Bye" she says closing the door.
He waits for her to go inside before driving off like he does every time. He sees her almost every day, but he still gets excited when they hang out. It's like a new experience every time, even when they've done it one hundred times before.
-
When he got home, he waited anxiously for her text. Her parents have never said no before, but it still made him a little nervous. He's made sure over the years that her parents liked him, he didn't want them to think he was just some guy who was only hanging out with their daughter to get in her pants.
He started his homework that probably won't get finished till Monday morning, checking his phone every few minutes.
Finally, after what felt like an hour, she texted him
parents said it's cool What did you have in mind?
 Movie? Wonka is still showing. Stay at my place after?
Timothee Chalamet? HELL YEAH! Definitely down for a sleepover
 Great! I'll pick u up at 4
See you then! <3
He was happy that she could come, he liked being able to get out of the house and escape with her. Everyone has family issues, his family was distant from each other. It was almost like they were roommates, not a family. His parents didn't care if he was gone or if he had someone over.
His brother stayed in his room most of the day when he got home from school. Their bond was limited to short interactions in the dining room on special occasions.
Y/N was his real family, she was always there for him whenever he needed her. At school, many people claimed to be his friend, they'd say hey in the hallway or talk about some game that happened the night before. None of them would actually have a real meaningful conversation with him.
He didn't get why he was so popular, he was sociable and easy on the eyes sure, but nobody knew the real him. It seemed like they had all made a false version of him in their heads. A mysterious ladies' man who could have anyone he wanted.
That wasn't true at all, he wasn't a mystery at all. He was very open once you got to know him, only Y/N had ever made the effort to do so. The whole 'ladies' man' thing was really funny to him. He'd never had a serious girlfriend, a few dates here and there but nothing real.
Many of those girls thought that him and Y/N had a thing going on so they would stop talking to him completely. At first he didn't know why they would think that, he thought their friendship seemed very platonic. Then he realized some of the things they would do seemed a little too friendly.
That didn't stop him. If he was honest, he didn't care about those girls at school. If there was only one girl in the world and he had to pick her. It would be Y/N. Always Y/N.
-
Saturday came around, Sirius waited all day for 4 o'clock. He didn't like to be late, he pulled up in front of her house a few minutes early so he could greet her parents.
Turning off his car, walking up to the front door. He rings the doorbell that has a little camera on it. A few seconds later, her mother opens the door
"Sirius, how are you, dear?" she asks bringing him in for a hug
'I'm great, Mrs. L/N. How's everything?"
"Everything's fine, Y/N should be ready by now." she told the boy "Y/N, Sirius is here!" she yelled up the stairs
She came down the stairs, a small bag in her hand. 
"Sorry, had to make sure I had everything, are you ready?" she asks Sirius
"Yeah, I'll see you later, Mrs. L/N" 
He and Y/N get in his car, driving to the local movie theater. 
That movie was almost 3 hours long, but that's okay. They didn't mind sitting in a dark room together in silence. It was much later, the sun was starting to set when they headed towards Sirius' house.
His parent's car wasn't in the driveway thankfully, awkward hellos are never fun. They realize they're starving and order take out.
Once it finally arrives, he takes her up to his room. Passing by Regulus' room, she could hear gunfire from some video game.
"Don't mind him, it's like he's married to the game. Hardly comes out the room" Sirius explains opening his bedroom door.
It was relatively clean, only because he knew she was coming over. His walls were lined with movie posters from the 80s and now, some of his favorite vinyls, and photo booth pictures of him and Y/N from various locations.
He made sure his space represented him. The real him. 
They spend the next couple of hours eating and watching random videos on youtube until they got bored of it. Putting on Evermore on as background music as they talked.
Both of them are sitting on the floor, Sirius leaning against the wall, Y/N against his bed
They jumped from topic to topic as the night progressed, getting into the more personal topics. A few weeks ago, Y/N started talking to a boy named Kevin. She seemed to have liked him until she stopped talking about him.
Sirius had been curious about that for a while, he thought it was a good time to ask
"Whatever happened to that Kevin guy? I thought you two were getting serious" he asks
"Oh him? That's long gone" she shrugged, "He said he just didn't feel anything for me" she explained, she didn't show it but she was a little hurt by the boy's words.
"Oh my god, he sucks. Anyone would be more than lucky to have you" He was mad that anyone would treat her like this. "Fuck that guy"
"It's alright, I didn't need him in my life" she wanted to get the topic off her "What about you? Anyone new in your life?"
"Nah" he smiles "I don't want anyone new, honestly"
"What do you mean?" she asks
"I'm happy just having you in my life, sometimes I wish it could always just be you and me" he says in a low voice
"That would be great, honestly. Just us against the world" she agrees
"Y/N?" his voice barely above a whisper, fidgeting with a ring on his hand
"Yeah?" 
He swallowed before replying, "I think I'm in love with you"
"What?" she laughed nervously, he got up and sat next to her
"When I think of my future, having a family and owning a house, you're there right next to me. I've tried to convince myself that it's only because there isn't anyone else in my life" He pauses searching her face for any sort of bad emotion "I know now, it's because I don't want anyone else in my life but you"
Y/N's brain was all over the place, trying to figure out what to say. Sirius has been her rock for so long, she had a small crush on him. She didn't think he would ever reciprocate it
"I don't know what to say" she admits
"That's alright, you don't have to say anything. If you're willing, maybe we could see if this goes anywhere?" 
She reaches down grabbing his hand, lacing her fingers with his. "I think we can make it work" she smiles "After all, we're still getting married at 30 right?" she laughed
"Right Right. A pact is a pact, dear" he smiles
She gives him a small kiss on the cheek, slowly pulling away. Their faces were dangerously close together, warm breath fanning against their skin. Y/N closes the distance. Their lips perfectly fitting each other, just like they were made for each other.
Sirius pulled away, not wanting things to get carried away. Y/N rest her head on his shoulder
"So, what color should our invitations be?"

OH EM GEEEE . Could u do hcs abt Ponyboy having a crush on reader, and dally being the one finding out and actually knows the girl somehow😱😭
↳ i could live forever in a day with her₊˚✧
Tumblr media
➬ ponyboy curtis x fem!reader
a/n ; dropped everything to write this. ponyboy lover 4life. ALSO, new layout?? we like? ALSO, IM WORKING AS FAST ON THE REQS I HAVE AS I CAN LMFAOO
Tumblr media
you and ponyboy knew each other from school, sat next together in history.
pony always thought you were cute, a real looker as some would say.
you thought ponyboy was cute too and pretty smart too.
he’d always ask you to hang out just, not around the gang.
if he saw any of them while hanging out with you, he tries to flee the scene as fast as possible!
like one time you and ponyboy were just walking around town, talking and laughing!
then, two-bit turns the corner to go on the same sidewalk you two were on. so ponyboy, without thinking, grabbed your hand and pulled you into an alleyway.
he knew it was dangerous since the shepherds basically owned the alleyways, but he’d rather get a beating from tim than get a lifelong teasing from two-bit.
“woah pony—atleast take me to dinner first!”
“y/n.”
“yea-sorry.”
the gang definitely noticed that ponyboy has a little hop in his step since you two started hanging out.
and they press him for questions every minute of everyday.
“you look happy pony, what’s up?”
“..can i not be happy?”
“no.”
“steve, leave me alone.”
they all suspected that he met a special someone, but they never had solid evidence or a confession.
but dallas KNEW.
because YOU were happier than usual and coincidentally, around the same time ponyboys smile got wider.
dallas knew your older brother, so by association, he knew you.
so he had ZERO issue going up to you and asking you a question.
“y/n.”
“yea?”
“do you know ponyboy? ponyboy curtis?”
“mhm!”
all dallas did was nod his head and walk off with a smile.
you just stood there in shock?? what??
dallas literally stalks you for the next while just to see if his theory is correct.
he sees you guys meet up at the entrance of the school and go walking to the dingo.
he sees you guys laugh and talk and flirt!
YOU GUYS AREN’T SLICK.
so after a week of getting more and more confident that that was why ponyboy was happier, he talked to pony about it.
“so, who’s the lucky gal, man?”
“what?? nobody??”
“it’s y/n, isn’t it?”
he FREEZES and just slowly turns to face dallas with pure terror of his face.
“huh?”
“i asked if it was y/n. is it or is it not, man?”
ponyboy just runs off into his house and freaks the fuck out in his room😭.
when he sees you at school the next day the first thing he said wasn’t ‘hey!’ or ‘hi.’ it was,
“DO YOU KNOW DALLAS WINSTON?!”
“WHY ARE YOU YELLING??”
“well?? do you?”
“yeah.”
shit.
shitshitshitshit.
“why? is everything alright, pony?”
“has he asked you about me?”
“uh, yeah! last week he asked if i knew you.”
oh god.
ponyboy turns pale like a ghost, all the blood from his face is gone.
dallas has a reputation in the gang for not being able to keep secrets.
the bell rang and ponyboy rushed to class, thinking he could get his mind off of getting the living hell teased out of him!
but as fate would have it, he couldn’t stop worrying about it. even when he walked out of school to see dallas, waiting.
he hadn’t seen that grease anywhere near the school since he left.
“ponyboy!”
what does he want? he already found out who he likes, how could he want more information outta him?
“what d’ya want dally?”
“what, can i not see my favourite kid?”
“…”
“yeah you’re right. anyways—get in the car, gotta talk to ya.”
ponyboy gulps at the though of gettin’ a lecture from dallas, the kid who knew nothing about common sense.
but nonetheless, he got in the passenger seat as dallas started driving like he was being chased down by andre the giant.
he pulled into a fast food parking lot and turned to look at ponyboy.
“i’m tryna help you get with your little uh, girlfriend.”
he said, lighting a cigarette and offering the boy beside him one. he took it without a second thought.
“you’d do that?”
“i’m tired of hearing my friend complain about his sister rantin’ about you.”
ponyboy smiles into his cigarette as he puffs out smoke.
“well, what should i do? do i impress her? be myself? get tuffer?”
‘till the sun went down, the two of ‘em sat in two-bits car.
dallas was trying to help ponyboy as he started to go on about his, ‘what ifs?’
“what if she doesn’t like me? what if she’s been talking about another guy?”
“who else in the world is named ‘ponyboy?’”
after ponyboy felt confident in himself with dallas’s advice, they drove to the curtis house so ponyboy could get a good nights rest for the day ahead of him.
he had called and asked you to meet him at the park.
since it was ponyboy, you obviously agreed.
so you basically ran outta the house while your older brother shouted a reminder about your curfew.
when you got where, you saw ponyboy sitting on the bench with his leg shaking up n’ down.
“hey! i hope i didn’t keep ya waitin.”
“nah, you’re good.”
he spoke, patting the extra space beside him.
when you sat down, he gently put his hand on top of yours. that was a big shock to you, ponyboy never usually showed physical affection.
“y/n, when i say this, i want you to take it seriously.”
“why? what happened?!”
“nothin’!! but uh..i like you. i like you, a lot. i just really like the way you smile, your teeth just shine under any sort of light. an-and how your eyes never lose it’s shine, no matter what you’ve been through. i jus-i just like everything about you, y/n. it’s embarrassing. AND- it’s okay if you don’t feel the same way.. i wouldn’t blame ya.”
you just sat there and stares at him, with wide eyes and slightly parted lips.
ponyboy started to get worried, why ain’t you saying anything? did he say something wrong? did he not say enough?? did he say too much??
“i-i like you too, pony. i’ve been waitin’ to hear you confess. took you long enough, jeez.”
you answered, chuckling at your own joke.
ponyboy just hugged you, he was too embarrassed to kiss you now.
you guys stayed like that for awhile.
until you heard clapping and cheering behind you.
“WOOHOO!”
“DALLAS??”
“what the fuck?”

when people send in requests mapping out the story and let me just add in a little razzle dazzle>>>
I hope it's okay that I made the reader female
You Belong to Me// Lee (Bones and All)
Tumblr media
Warnings: cursing, angst, fluff, and everything that is in the request is in the fic so be sure to read that
It’s a long read. Enjoy.
You were in love with him, and he acted like he had no idea. How could he not know? You spent every waking hour together and even slept next to each other. How could he not see the lingering glances you gave, or how you would take any opportunity to touch his arm, or his shoulder? He was so damn beautiful, and so protective of you, but it was more like a friend type of thing. You were certain that was how he thought of you: his friend and travel companion.
You knew he had a past, that maybe he had done some things that he wasn't proud of. You had no idea what things. But you knew that it was enough for Lee to not want to get too close to you. You were growing tired of his closed off demeanor.
"We gotta get gas." he said, turning on his blinker and pulling into the filling station.
Night was falling outside. You didn't know where the hell you were, just somewhere in Kentucky. Everything looked the same, from the landscape to the gas stations that were planted every fifty miles or so.
Lee got out and started to pump gas.
You looked into the little convenience store across the way and saw a young male employee at the register. You grinned to yourself. Now was finally your chance to mess with Lee, to see if you could make him jealous.
You got out of the truck as well, waltzing over to the driver's side where Lee was filling the gas tank. "I'm gonna go inside." you said to him.
"Okay, just don't spend too much money. We gotta make it last." he replied, looking up at you, his red hair shining pink-ish under the lights of the gas station.
You put your hands in your pockets nonchalantly as you walked over to the store.
Once inside, you smiled at the guy behind the counter, he was kinda cute, not as handsome as Lee, but he was decent looking. He nodded at you with a smirk and wasn't shy about checking out your ass as you walked by.
You decided to pick up something useful, so you grabbed some feminine pads and tampons. You knew exactly what to do. As you brought the items up to the counter, you noticed that Lee had a perfect view of you checking out from outside.
"How are you on this fine evening, darlin'?"
The man spoke to you, bringing you out of your Lee trance. "Oh, I'm fine, how are you?"
"Oh, much better since you walked in." he said with a hearty southern laugh as he started to scan your items.
You let out a fake laugh, and batted your eyelashes at him, placing your hands on the counter as he rang you up.
"You and your boyfriend just passing through?" he asked, gruffly.
"Oh yeah," you looked out the window at Lee, he was screwing the lid back on to the gas cap. "But he's not my boyfriend. He's just a friend, ya know?"
"Oh really? Well, maybe I could convince you to spend the night in town? I get off in an hour, and there's a real nice motel down the road.”
What a sleazebag, you thought. But you had to play this off. You knew without even looking that Lee was watching. "Hmm, that is really tempting...how much do I owe you?"
His smirk fell a little when he had to look at the small screen where your transaction was added up, "It's uh $6.50, dear."
"Oh no, I don't have that much." you bit your lip, shifting on your feet innocently.
"Well, that's okay. A pretty girl like you needs a break. It's on the house." he said with a wave of his hand.
You looked over at Lee, leaning against the side of the truck with his arms folded across his chest. Then you looked back at the clerk, "Really? Are you sure? I'd hate to not give you anything for this stuff."
He grinned, leaning toward you with a nasty grin. "Maybe you could just give me a kiss for now, and we'll call it even."
You gulped, glancing to Lee for a second, then nodded at the stranger, "Okay, just a tiny one?"
The clerk nodded.
You leaned over the counter, your ass was now high in the air. You pecked the man on the cheek quickly, but you still got a whiff of his minty chewing tobacco. The smell almost made you sick to your stomach. You'd rather smell the occasional cigarette Lee smoked.
As you got back to your feet, the clerk reached around and smacked you right on the ass. It hurt, and you weren't happy about it, but you knew it was the perfect action to send Lee over the edge. The bell at the top of the store door chimed within seconds. The man behind the counter hadn't even stopped chuckling at what he had done.
Lee was more angry than you had ever seen him. "Y/n, everything okay in here?" He was fuming and he looked so hot, his hands were balled into fists.
"Yeah, fine." you chirped, grabbing your feminine products from the counter. "Thank you, sir, very much." you sang, smiling at the clerk, then turning on your heels to exit the store, bumping into Lee's arm for good measure.
"See you in an hour, sweetheart!" the clerk called after you.
"The fuck you will!" Lee spat immediately to the other man.
You giggled as you let the door close behind you, but Lee was on your trail.
"What the hell was that, y/n?" he barked.
"What ever do you mean?" you teased, hopping into your side of the truck.
Lee quickly got into the driver’s seat, “Don’t give me that shit, why would you let some asshole touch you like that? Who knows what he could have done to you?”
“Why would you care, Lee? It’s not like we’re dating!”
“I care about your safety, y/n, you know that.” he said, starting up the truck and pulling out of the gas station. You were on the road again.
“Well, there’s no harm in flirting if I want to.” you pointed out.
“Sure there is. You can’t trust strangers. You’re smarter than that.”
“Okay, Dad. Damn.” you mocked him with a huff, and crossed your arms, laying your head on the window. You felt defeated in your attempt to get him to like you. You started to think that he really didn’t see you as anything more than just a travel buddy.
“Don’t call me that.” Lee scoffed. “Look, I’m sorry. It just pissed me off that that motherfucker thought he could put his hands on my girl like that.”
Your heart started you beat hard in your chest when you realized what he had said. “Wait…what?” You looked over at him, his hand in his hair at the top of his head. Did he just let that slip? Was he oblivious to what he had said?
“What?” he frowned at you, then kept his eyes on the road.
“Do you know what you just said? You said my girl.”
Lee couldn’t stop the strange little smile that toyed with the corners of his mouth. “Yeah. You’re my girl.” He shrugged. “That’s how I like to think of you. Is that weird?” He put his hand on his cheek, then his fingers laid over his mouth. He looked over at you, waiting for your response.
You felt so warm in your chest, your whole body became tingly with happiness. But you didn’t want to ruin the moment in any way. You didn’t want to push him. You knew Lee, and even though he seemed so abrasive, it was because he was so fragile on the inside. You would let him come to you. “No, it’s not weird. I’m glad to hear that, actually.”
Lee smiled, then turned his attention back to the road. He drove for a while and you sat in a comfortable silence. You desperately wanted to scoot closer to him, to touch him, to feel the warmth of his body, but not just yet.
“So you wouldn’t seriously meet some stranger at a motel, would you?” he asked you.
“Lee, I never thought about that guy for a second.”
A scrunched up look of confusion appeared on his face, “Then why did you flirt with him? Were you that bored?”
“No, I um, I wanted to see what you would do if you saw me acting like that.” you twiddled your thumbs absentmindedly.
“And why did you want that?”
“I don’t know. It feels silly to say it out loud. Maybe it’s stupid, but I wanted to try and make you jealous. Now I don’t know if you think of me that way or if we’re just…companions, but you should know that I-I”
“No.” he said, sharply, interrupting you.
“No?” you felt a lump in your throat.
“Just…let me take you somewhere. I wanna take you somewhere.” his voice trembled a little. Was he nervous? He was never nervous. Lee was always in control, he always knew what to do in every situation.
“Okay.” you cleared your throat, and looked down at your hands. You noticed how badly you were shaking.
Lee continued driving for a few minutes, then turned down a dirt road, off into the woods. “There’s a spot back here that I’ve been to before. It’s great for being alone and star gazing.”
You hummed in response, smiling lightly.
There was a decent sized patch of grass mapped out by many trees, and he parked the truck. “Seems like a good spot to call it a night.” he said, turning off the ignition.
You were upset that it seemed like he was brushing you off. Like whatever feelings you had didn’t matter because he couldn’t handle them.
You were lost in your thoughts, and you hadn’t even noticed that he had gotten out of the truck. Lee tapped on your window, giving you a light scare. “Hey, you coming?” he asked, opening your door.
He took your hand when you stepped out, and you felt a glimmer of hope strike you in the heart. You blushed as he led you to the back of the truck. He dropped your hand for a moment to open up the old, rusty tailgate with its signature creeks and clunks.
To your surprise, Lee spun around and grabbed you by the waist, picking you up and plopping you down on the tailgate. You giggled in response.
He carefully put his hands on the tops of your thighs, slowly parting them so he could nestle his hips between them. He smiled softly, and your heart skipped a beat as he touched your cheek, so delicately, like dipping his toe in the water.
“You belong to me, y/n. And I belong to you. We are part of each other.” his voice was so sweet and velvet, he had the ability to melt you on the inside.
You grinned at him, and wrapped your arms around his neck.
You heard him let out a soft breath as he hugged you. His hands rested on your back. You were both able to relax, and just be. Be together, in the moment without any barriers or hesitation.
“Lee, do I mean more to you than just a friend?” you asked, letting your fingers brush his curls idly.
“Hm.” he hummed, leaning back a tiny bit to look at you. The crinkles near the outside of his eyes creased as he grinned. He leaned in, you felt the warmth of his breath, and then the tender press of his lips on yours. He pulled away slightly, saying, “What do you think?” He then resumed kissing you, and tucked your legs around his waist.

w/c: 1,350
pairing(s): boyfriend!steve harrington x fem!reader
summary: Steve is excited to be throwing his best friend a surprise birthday party. Unfortunately, his friends are idiots and he ends up with a face full of cake. Good thing his girlfriend is there.
warnings: sort of curse words, idk if the word i used is considered cursing but jic. soft girlfriend and boyfriend type beat
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was Robin Buckley’s 19th birthday and Steve was far too excited to throw his best friend her very first surprise party. He had been running around Hawkins, sneakily buying bags of party streamers and quietly shoving helium balloons into his car, all week. You were in charge of getting all the food; pastries, chips, the cake. This was a very important task, something Steve continued to emphasize, because it’s not really a birthday party without the birthday cake. He also kept telling you that he trusts you with this very important mission because you’re the person he trusts the most, which is a load of crap. You’re just the only other person with a license that doesn’t drive like a maniac.
Steve was on a kitchen chair in the middle of the living room when you walked into his house. His cheeks were flushed, pieces of tape between his lips, as he attempted to stick purple streamers to the ceiling.
“Hey, Stevie.” You walked over to his kitchen and put the cake down with the other sweets. There were plates full of cupcakes and cookies on the counter. A myriad of drinks and bags of chips. Maybe Steve had gone a little above and beyond considering the amount of people coming but honestly, it was really sweet.
“Hey, sweetheart. Got the cake?” You walked back into the living room where he was trying to get a mess of tape off his hand. The chair he was on wobbling a little as he flailed his arms. You sped walked over to him and grabbed his hand, gently peeling the pieces of tape off his hand. “Thank you.” He mumbled, stepping off the seat and planting a kiss on your forehead.
“Of course, one vanilla birthday cake.” You reached down for his hand, pulling him into the kitchen with you. The white cardboard box, with the words ‘Giovanni’s Bakery’ spread across the top, sat nicely among the other treats “You know, I think this is very nice of you.” You wrapped your arms around his torso, looking up at him. “You’re the best friend a girl could ask for, Harrington.”
A wide smirk spread across his face. “Yeah? Am I the best boyfriend a girl could ask for?”
“Well….”
“(y/n).”
“Yes, Steve.” You rolled your eyes playfully. “You’re the best boyfriend anyone could ask for.”
“Yeah, that’s what I thought.” Steve’s smirk was replaced by a big dumb grin. He brought you in for a kiss, hand on the back of your head.
The doorbell rang throughout the house, immediately followed with incessant knocking. “C’mon, Harrington! It’s hot out here.” Eddie’s voice was slightly muffled by the door. Dustin’s voice not far behind.
“Yeah, open up.”
-
Robin had been sufficiently surprised. Actually, when she walked through the door and everyone yelled out, she threw her water bottle at the nearest child. Mike was winded for a few seconds but got over it quickly.
“Awww Stevie, you did this all for me?” Robin’s arm was flung around your shoulders as she spoke. She was making light of the situation but her heart felt so full. No one had ever done something so nice for her. There aren’t a lot of moments when Steve and Robin tell each other how much they care for one another and this felt like Steve’s way of saying just that.
“Oh yeah, you should’ve seen him.” You slid your arm around Robin’s waist. “He was a decoration fiend. Driving around, car full of balloons.”
“You’re both annoying.” Steve rolled his eyes with absolutely no real annoyance. There was nothing he loved more than watching you get along with your shared friends.
You weren’t originally part of the group. When Steve asked you to officially be his girlfriend, he was actually quite nervous about introducing you to his friends. He was so scared they would run you off. His anxiety proved to be unnecessary because you were welcomed with open arms by everyone. Even Max was a fan. “Whatever, happy birthday, nerd.”
“Yeah, happy birthday, Robs.” You kissed her cheek. “Oh! The cake. We must abide by tradition and awkwardly sing happy birthday.” You clapped your hands and excitedly went to go grab the cake. Steve started gathering everyone, herding them to the kitchen table. The cake was now on a pretty crystal stand. You were very careful, gently putting it down on the table in front of everyone. There were unlit candles on the top of the sweet dessert. “Right, we need to light those. I’ll go look for a lighter.”
While you were in the kitchen, rummaging through drawers you heard some loud chattering immediately followed by a thud. You rushed back to where everyone was standing. All of them looking very guilty. Your beautiful boyfriend was standing in the middle of everyone, face covered in vanilla frosting, large chunks of sponge cake littered around his hair. Robin and Eddie were standing to the side, neither of them able to meet your eyes. Both of them clearly the culprits behind the cake attack. You would have to deal with them later.
“Baby, what have they done to you?” You scraped some frosting off his eyelids so he could finally open them. He still couldn’t really open his eyes, squinting to be able to look down at you.
“Just point me in their direction so I can kill them.”
“No murder right now, tiger.” You intertwined your fingers, carefully leading him up the stairs. “Gotta get you cleaned up first.”
-
In the bathroom upstairs Steve was sitting on the closed toilet, your hand holding his face still. You were wiping his face clean with a moist towel, trying your absolute best to be as gentle as possible, not wanting to irritate his skin. His hand was on the back of your thigh, softly rubbing circles with his thumb. He was looking up at you, adoration clear in his eyes. The moment was so sweet, it filled his heart with pure unadulterated happiness.
“I’m sorry I wasn’t there to stop the hooligans.” You picked a particularly large piece of sponge cake out of his hair.
“It’s alright, better me than you, sweetheart.” He put his hand on your hip and shot you a wink.
“Alright, Romeo.” You scoffed, trying your best to get all the frosting out of perfect hair. “Want me to just wash your hair, babe?”
“Please.” Steve pouted, loving all the attention you were giving him. He was usually trying his best to take care of everyone around him so he was taking full advantage of the situation.
-
Steve was then sitting on a chair that he had dragged into the bathroom, his head on the cold marble of the bathroom sink. A really uncomfortable position, but he’s not complaining, not when he has your fingers in his hair. The anger he had felt earlier when Eddie and Robin pushed his face into the cake completely gone now.
“I’m a little scared that they’re down there by themselves.” You said, sitting down on his lap as you rinsed the suds out of his hair. Gently kneading the last bits of cake out.
“Baby, in this moment I don’t really care.” His eyes were closed, just enjoying the feeling of your magic fingers expertly massaging his head. “They can break whatever they want.”
He was being serious. He loved how you took care of him; you were so attentive and caring. Steve had always felt clingy in his relationship with Nancy, and you never made him feel that way. You both loved each other and cared for each other, he was finally happy. Nancy might’ve been his first love but you were his great love, he was sure of it.
A crash was heard from downstairs, making you both jump. “(y/n) it wasn’t me I swear!” You heard Lucas call up the stairs.
You sighed and rested your forehead on Steve’s shoulder. He was laughing.
“I don’t know why you’re laughing; this is your house.”
You felt his laugh come to a stop. “Those little shits.”

When Lance arrived in his room, he felt half dead.
In the ambulance they gave him liquids and sugar, but it somehow still didn't feel enough.
His clothes were stuck to his back, damp with sweat even after the shower, his skin hot and irritated red.
He slowly moved towards the bathroom, lights still off. There, he turned them on on the dullest setting and sat on the edge of the tub as lukewarm water started to fill it. He painfully undressed himself, careful not to aggravate the strain between his shoulder blades.
When he carefully sat in the tub, he let out a tired groan. He laid his head on the edge, and closed his eyes against the lights and the pain. He must have lightly nodded off, because he was startled by the knocks on the door. Lance couldn't be bothered to actually answer, so he just waited for whoever was knocking to just go away. Soon the sound stopped, but suddenly the buzz of his phone started. He groaned again, but answered anyway.
"Mhhhh?" was the sound that came out of his mouth, too tired for any real effort.
“You okay?" Asked a concerned voice that made Lance freeze for a second.
"Lance?" asked the voice with even more concern.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm alright, Fernando. What about you? You ok?"
Fuck, this personal moment of isolation, intended to be spent licking his metaphorical wounds, of course this was the moment Fernando had to play the role of the worried teammate.
Ok, that wasn't fair to the older man. He always seemed genuine when interacting with Lance, playful and funny in some moments, serious and sharp in others. Lance couldn't be mad at him. He just wasn't in the mood for company. He didn't want any witness to his well deserved, in his humble opinion, pity party.
“You still there?" the same voice again and again and again.
"Yes sorry, just a bit distracted. You were saying?"
"Nothing important, the burns will heal. You don't sound alright, though"
"Yeah, not really, just soaking in the tub and waiting for the strength to dry and go to bed. I think I was actually napping before your call"
"That why you didn't answer the door?"
"Oh, it was you? Sorry, couldn't really get up"
When he was done talking, the only sound he could hear for a couple seconds was the breath coming from his phone.
"Fernando, are you sure you're ok?"
"You fell asleep...Lance, that's incredibly dangerous!"
If before Fernando's voice was an ok company, now Lance was starting to be irritated by it. He wasn't a child, he knew the risks of his own actions.
"Haven't you heard? Apparently I'm a danger to others, so why not be one to myself?"
Lance was greeted by silence, as the words he just said rang into his own ears. Before he could apologise, the Spanish man spoke.
"Lance what do you mean?"
Lance sagged in the tub, feeling more tired than ever.
"Nothing Fernando, it's nothing, just in a bad mood. Sorry"
"Lance, I know you. I have seen you frustrated and angry, this is not it. What's going on?" asked Fernando, and Lance couldn't take it anymore. Slowly, salty tears started to fall from his eyes. He tried to be as quiet as possible, but he couldn't really hide his sobs from the other man.
"Lance, it's ok. Just open the door. We don't have to talk, but I want...I don't want you to be alone."
"Why, so that I don't do anything stupid?" He tensed, drying his cheeks and furiously rubbing his eyes, starting to feel too many emotions all at once, sadness and frustration and anger and guilt and a sense of general pointlessness.
"Because you deserve to not be. You deserve whatever you need in this moment, a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen to your struggles or simply someone close" his firm but gentle voice was starting to calm Lance.
Sighing, Lance relaxed his muscles.
"Give me two minutes."
"Take your time. I'll wait" And what was that supposed to mean? But Lance didn't have the brain power to ponder about it, so he hummed and hung up. He rose from the tub and, carefully stepping out, started to dry himself. When he was satisfied, he unplugged the tub, almost fixating on the water swirl, but he had clothes to put on and a complicated teammates situation to solve. He put on a simple pair of gray sweatpants and a white t-shirt, once again thankful for the AC that cooled the room down.
When he opened the door, Fernando was leaning on the opposite wall, calm and patient, black pajama pants and an unzipped hoodie on top of a simple black t-shirt. Lance really didn't know what to think, so he simply let him in.
Lance's bare feet sang because of the textured carpet, but his legs almost gave out, weighted by his tiredness, so he decided to sit on the couch as normally as possible, heavily leaning the small of his back on its arm and his head on the back of it, hunched over his raised knees. Normal, see?
"So..." he didn't want to feel awkward, but couldn't help himself. What do you say to a legend that is your teammate and is showing real (or deep faked) concern, who you have a totally-platonic-not-at-all-romantic crush on and were also deeply convinced that hung around only because paid or, even worse, forced to? Yeah, Lance didn't know either, so awkward silence it was.
"Have you drunk?" Right, because Lance was incapable of being responsible, ok then.
"Yes, I have. Now you can leave."
The rollercoaster of emotions was draining him after all that went down on the track. He just wanted to curl up in a ball on his bed, cry if he could find the strength, and then sleep. But the other man seemed to have other plans. He nodded, then went to the kitchen, taking off his hoodie and throwing it on the first chair available, and started filling up two glasses. When he returned, he sat on the other side of the couch and offered him one of them, whilst drinking the other.
Grabbing it, Lance had to grudgingly admit that he was thirsty, so he slowly drank without making eye contact. There had to be a limit to the awkward silence and the embarrassing situations, right? Wrong.
Soon after finishing his glass, Fernando slipped closer to Lance. The Canadian couldn't look at him, so he closed his eyes and rested his forehead on his right knee.
"Lance, I understand if you don't want to talk, really do. But I'd prefer if you allowed me to be here with you" his tone was so sickeningly sweet that it made something in Lance snap.
"And I'd rather pref..." he started angrily, but couldn't even finish the sentence because his eyes landed on the bandages on Fernando's right arm: they started just under his elbow, and disappeared beneath the short sleeve of his t-shirt.
"What the fuck happened?" asked Lance, suddenly panicking and unfurling from his previous position to gently take a hold of Fernando's hand, studying the bandages and carefully turning the arm to get a better look. He was so preoccupied with his scrutiny that he didn't notice how the other man was looking at him, expression soft and open, endeared by his cat-like teammate: prickly, fast mood changes, in need of some affection but too stubborn to ask for it or even accept it once freely given.
Fernando simply shrugged, without disturbing Lance's hold.
"The car wasn't properly sealed. I have some first degree burns, but nothing serious."
When Lance deemed the situation under control, he finally realised that he was holding Fernando's hand. He started blushing furiously, quickly releasing it, but when he tried to move his left hand away, that's when Fernando himself caught it and tightly gripped it, keeping him in place.
Lance met the older man's gaze, intense and sharp.
A few seconds passed, silence engulfing them.
With a tired sigh, Lance collapsed on the back of the couch, hand still held.
"Fernando, what do you want, honestly? Why are you here?"
"I already told you, I just don't want you to be alone. Because I'm old, and I'm selfish and I can't bear to see you hurt and alone."
These were words Lance had never expected to be directed to him, even less by Fernando. But he couldn't deny his presence was comforting. So he chose the path of least resistance: he leaned to his right and put his forehead on his teammate's left shoulder, trying to be delicate about it, but when a hand sneaked in his hair, starting massaging his skull, he completely melted.
"I can't talk, not right now. Tomorrow, if you're still interested..."
"I'll be here, just waiting for you. Now sleep, gatito"
As if been given his last order, Lance felt himself fall asleep without a care in the world, leaving an even more endeared Fernando to massage his back, watching him carefully and swearing to himself to be by his side for as long as possible.

or can u write margo awkwardly admitting to miles she’s a bit weirded out whenever his parents are so nice to each other and her because she’s not used to seeing that, and miles comforting her (and maybe he feels sad for her) about that?
Flowerbyte fluff and angst all in one night golly gee...thanks for requesting!
escape.
“So, Margo,” Jefferson Morales began after saying grace. He dug into the vibrantly orange plate of rice and peas sitting in front of him. 
“How’d you and Miles meet? He never told us the specifics.”
Margo’s eyes flickered toward Miles, who gave her an encouraging thumbs-up.
Right. The cover story.
This was her first real dinner with the Morales family since being introduced. Usually, Rio would invite her to eat with them just before Miles interrupted and insisted that Margo “had to get home by six o’clock sharp” and ushered her out the door. This time, though, his mom insisted on having dinner early and won the battle.
“We met at one of those Alchemax conventions for, uh…kids in STEM? We had a really nice conversation and exchanged numbers.”
“They still have those?” Rio piped up as she took a seat with her own plate. “We used to beg Miles to sign up his freshman year. I didn’t think he actually went!”
She looked intently at her son as she said, “I keep telling him that it’s a great opportunity to look for internships before college.”
Miles looked up, and mirrored her tight smile.
“And I keep saying that I’ve done enough science internships to get me a job at NASA,” he replied through slightly clenched teeth.
Margo silently toggled her gaze between the two until Jefferson broke the silence with a cough.
“Anyway, you live far off? Miles tells us he doesn’t get to see you very often.”
“Yeah, I’m actually down in Atlanta.”
Technically not a whole lie; her parents were from Georgia, they just didn’t live there anymore.
…Savanna, Georgia.
Rio turned to Margo with wide eyes.
“Wow, that’s far! And you’re able to still keep in touch?”
“I keep saying to Miles, technology’s amazing,” Jeff laughed after taking a sip of water. “A few decades ago, you needed to write down people’s numbers in a little book. Now y’all got text messaging, Instagram, the Facebook–”
“It’s just ‘Facebook’, dad.”
“ –FaceTime, all these ‘faces’!”
Margo giggled at Miles’ weary expression as she shoveled spoonfuls (fork-fuls?) of rice into her mouth, saying nothing of the fact that in her world, half of the things that Jefferson had just listed off had become obsolete. People’s status updates tended to float above their avatar’s heads. Some didn’t even bother to exchange numbers anymore, preferring to ask for usernames instead.
“Margo, sweetie, do you want any fruit juice? I just remembered we still had some in the fridge.”
Before she could reply, Jeff interrupted with a wince. 
“Ooh. See, about that…I think I drank the last of it with breakfast this morning.”
Rio sighed and massaged her temples. “Jeff!”
“I didn’t know we were having company!”
“You always finish everything in the fridge before the week’s even over. You eat faster than Miles!”
“Whoah, why am I in it?”
“And I keep telling you to throw the carton away when you’re finished. Nobody in here listens!”
Margo felt a cold sensation in her chest. 
She nearly squeezed her eyes shut as the familiar sentence rang through the dining room, her grip on her fork tightening as Jefferson opened his mouth to respond. Miles saw her tense, but couldn’t get her attention. Her eyes were laser-focused on her plate.
“That’s my fault, honey. Tell you what, I’ll do the grocery shopping tomorrow to make up for it. How’s that?”
Like magic, the woman’s face relaxed and melted into a grin. 
“You’d better. I want Margo to have a nice time with us before she has to fly back to Atlanta.”
Jeff turned his attention to Margo.
“Y’know, speaking of Atlanta, I got some extended family down in Charleston, just a few hours from y’all. We used to send Miles down there for the summer when he was younger,” he chuckled, “Came back darker than me, and with an accent!”
Margo blinked. The argument was just…over? The speed at which they moved on gave her whiplash. 
She quickly forced a polite smile. “Uh, that’s cool.”
Rio chimed in, “We’ve been planning to send him down to P.R. this year instead, pick up some Spanish for a change.”
Miles was in the middle of finishing up his plate, and nearly choked on his rice.
“Mami, I know enough Spanish to get by,” he coughed. “I don’t think that’s–”
“Not the basic Spanish they’re teaching you at school, mijo. When we take you to family reunions, you can barely talk to your cousins!”
“I’m all for it. We got some great pictures from down South when he was eight–”
“O-kay! I think we’re both done with dinner,” Miles shot up and grabbed his now-empty plate, reaching over to take Margo’s as well. “Right, Margo?”
She snapped out of it and stood up herself. 
“Oh–um, sure! Lead the way.”
He hastily led her up the stairs as soon as he dropped their plates off in the kitchen sink.
“Come back down to wash those later!”
“Y’all behave up there!”
Miles looked at Margo and rolled his eyes as he opened the door to his room. Margo snorted.
“Nothing’s gonna happen, dad, I promise!”
Miles’ room managed to be full of stuff without feeling cluttered. There were empty crates stacked on top of each other that he used to prop up extra books or comics, but that gave the impression that he had built a neat fort around himself and the crates were mini skyscrapers. He had two huge speakers on either side of his window that he only used when his folks were out, and the soft neo-soul he played surrounded the room with bass and piano like a warm hug. Margo sat down on his bed, sinking into the mattress a little. She had always quietly envied the boy’s ability to create this second home-within-a-home for himself. 
The space next to her dipped as Miles laid down and stared up at the ceiling, his hands resting behind his head like he was on vacation. 
“Sorry if that was…a lot.”
“It’s fine.”
“My folks actually really like you, you know? That’s why they talk so much.”
Margo’s eyes flickered downward at his grinning face, and she smiled.
“I know.”
“Alright, just making sure. You just looked a little shaky back there, and you’re never that quiet.” 
He sat up and narrowed his eyes at her, jokingly placing the back of his hand on her forehead.
“You’re not sick, right? Don’t spread that shit to me, I got a test tomorrow–”
“You play too much,” Margo laughed, shoving his arm. “I’m not sick. Haven’t had a cold in months.”
Miles lowered his hand to rest partially on top of hers.
“So what is it, then?”
She paused, and spent a few silent seconds staring into the boy’s face. His expression sobered, the furrow in his brow a signal that now was not the time to lie. 
She tried anyway and said it was “nothing”, knowing that Miles wouldn’t believe her.
There was a strange sort of comfort to be found in the way he leaned in and said–
“Margo.”
“What?”
“You’re the worst liar I’ve ever met. Why do you keep doing that?”
Margo shrugged with a lopsided grin. “If at first you don’t succeed, right?”
Miles looked away for a second and kissed his teeth, but Margo could tell he had smiled.
She tapped his chin to gently turn his face back towards her.
“Okay, okay, my bad. I’ll tell you.”
He nodded, “Go ahead.”
“I thought they were gonna fight.”
“...Huh?”
“Your parents. At dinner. I thought they were about to fight, so I braced myself.”
Miles looked even more baffled. 
“Over juice?”
“Yeah? But then they just sorta stopped, so I got nervous.”
“I mean,” he shifted uncomfortably, “They fight sometimes, I guess. But they don’t, like…fight fight. Like, they make up after.”
Margo looked down and smiled at her socks. “My folks actually make up sometimes, too. It’s real cute. They sit on the couch and watch old movies together with popcorn, then they share some with me. It’s like a lil’ party for just the three of us.”
Miles chewed on his bottom lip. That was the most she had ever spoken about her parents; the only time he’d heard her mother’s voice was when the woman had yelled something in another room and Margo’s computer picked it up.
“So what do you do when they don’t? Make up, I mean.”
Margo hummed in consideration, kicking her feet back and forth before turning to Miles.
“Now I come here, I guess.”
This gave Miles pause. He remembered the first time he snuck out of the house - before he could climb walls. It wasn't to go to any parties, or to escape getting grounded. 
He went out just to draw. To get a breath of fresh air without a pair of eyes looking over his shoulder, even admiring ones. 
Whenever he got asked too many questions about his grades, or the music filtering through his headphones wasn’t enough, his room felt more like an enclosure that he needed to escape. It got smaller with every inch that his bed shrunk, until his feet were touching the edge. 
But this little box of a room was now Margo’s escape. And Miles wasn’t sure how to feel about that.
He nodded slowly. “That’s good. My mom needs an excuse to make arroz con dulce for somebody, so…”
Margo laughed, “I’m always happy to taste test for her.”
“I’ll make sure to tell her that.”

Rosa x reader - getting to know the real you
Tumblr media
can i request a Rosa x femreader?? I leave you full freedom for the plot. if you do it THANK U SO MUCH otherwise just know that I love your stories, KEEP IT UP!!!💕💕 - Anon💜
You had no clue what to do with yourself, you stared at the phone in your hand.
You had her contact open, but you know she didn’t want to hear from you, she made that perfectly clear when she told you it was over.
You were over.
There wasn’t a you and her anymore.
You wanted to cry, but you couldn’t, you had cried all you could.
Setting your phone down, you looked around the now empty apartment you sighed and picked up the phone again.
You: we said forever, but I guess we said it too soon. I don’t know what’s going on but I love you Rosa, and if in a year or two or three you want to try again I just pray you’ll call and tell me I’m still on your mind, that you’ll say you want this.
You sent the message and tossed your phone aside.
You knew you weren’t going to get a reply, and as the following morning came around you walked down the stairs and handed your key back to the building manager.
“Can’t believe you’re going kid, it’s gonna be weird not seeing you around.”
“All come visit Al, I just… I can’t keep here…”
He nodded his head in understanding and gave you a gently hug.
Heading to your car, you got in, glancing at your phone in the seat next to yours, you debated on picking it up but you decided against it.
Instead you just started driving, not even daring to look back.
Your phone rang a few times but you didn’t bother picking up, you had a long drive ahead of you and you didn’t want to get delayed by any traffic or anything.
You siblings were waiting for you to arrive, and although your sister offered to pick you up you decided to go alone, wanting the time to clear your head.
And you did.
Over the long drive you used the time to stuff all your emotion away, locking them behind thick doors so you wouldn’t have to confront them.
Finally you pulled outside the home you were oh so familiar with, and you stepped out of your car, phone and bag in hand.
“Jesus (Y/N) you could’ve at least called!”
“Sorry Rebekah.”
You turned around, letting her pull you in for a hug as you rested your chin on her shoulder, taking a small breath as you looked to the open door.
“Is he home…?” You asked softly.
“Yeah, of course he is. He’s been worried sick.”
You pulled away and walked into the house.
You didn’t need to search it, you knew exactly what room he was going to be in so you walked straight there.
Slowly you pushed the door open and stepped in, letting the door fall shut behind you.
You looked at the tall man as he paced back and forth, tossing a ball up and down in his hand.
“Klaus…”
“(Y/N)!”
He rushed around and quickly walked over, wrapping his arms around you as he pulled you into his chest, holding you tightly as you clung to your older brother.
Tears started to brim your eyes again.
“I’ve got you…” he whispered.
“I… I should’ve.. should’ve listened…”
Klaus sighed, resting his chin on your head as he ran his hand up and down your back.
“No, no you had every right not to. You deserve to be happy okay? And if you want I’ll go make her pay for breaking your heart.”
You quickly pulled away, shaking your head frantically.
“No! No! Klaus you can’t hurt Rosa, promise me you won’t hurt Rosa..”
Klaus looked at you, and although he wasn’t happy about what happened, he was furious Rosa had ripped out your heart and stomped all over it.
He wanted to go there and do what he did best. But looking at your face, begging him not too, he couldn’t do it to you.
“Fine, but you just say the word and I promise you I’ll make her or anyone suffer.”
“Just.. just let me stay with you…”
“You’re always welcome, you know that.” He laughed softly.
Klaus led you over to the couch and sat down, letting you rest your head on his shoulder as you stared at the paintings around the room.
You loved your brothers art, it was so beautiful, and it made you smile knowing that his art was in museums knowing full well people didn’t know it was his.
He had a real talent, even if he wasn’t so nice to many people, and he did horrible, unspeakable things, he was still your older brother.
You were his baby sister. The youngest of the bunch, and you knew there wasn’t anything they wouldn’t do for you.
Elijah was away, and you were told he wouldn’t be back for at least a week, so for the first it it was just your Rebekah and Klaus, and they didn’t everything they could to help you.
Recovery was a long road, and you didn’t know what to do with yourself.
You loved Rosa.
You wanted your whole life to be with her.
“What exactly happened?” Elijah asked softly.
You took a breath, and sighed a little, turning to face him from your spot on the roof where you were stargazing.
“I… I’d been dating her a few years… and she.. well she found out because of some hunters.. I tried to explain her… tried to talk to her.. but she called me a demon.. a monster…”
Elijah felt his heart clench.
He looked at you and reached out, placing his hand on your head, smoothing your hair down a little bit.
“(Y/N), you listen to me, okay? Listen very carefully, you are anything but a demon, a monster. You are so kind, and gentle, and caring. You haven’t ever hurt a soul who has never hurt you before, even after everything that father put you through, you still have such a pure heart.”
You smiled a little, and shrugged a tiny bit not really convinced.
“I guess she’s right… I am a monster…”
“Don’t you ever say that about yourself.”
You jumped a little, turning around to find Klaus climbing on to the roof as well, walking over to sit next to you.
“Don’t you ever call yourself a monster you hear me? I swear to whatever god there is that I will throw you off this roof right now.”
“You wouldn’t.”
“Want to test that?”
Klaus went to pick you up and you quickly jumped behind Elijah, hiding behind him as you stuck your middle finger up at Klaus.
“I’m sad! You’re supposed to be caring for me not trying to throw me off buildings!”
“Stop calling yourself a monster then!”
You grinned a little at klaus and he grinned back, opening his arms letting you sit next to him.
You were so caught up with you siblings you didn’t bother checking your phone, in fact, it probably died weeks ago because you never put it on charge.
Walking around the back, admiring the vast countryside behind the house.
“(Y/N)?”
You turned to the doorway where Rebekah was standing looking angry and a little unsure.
“You have a guest.”
She stepped aside and you watched Rosa step out, looking a little lost and very high on alert.
“Want me to stay?” Rebekah asked.
“No.. no it’s okay…”
She nodded and glared at Rosa before she went back inside.
You turned away from Rosa, not really wanting to look at her so you rested your hands on the fence separating the house from the country.
Rosa looked at you, admiring how you still looked so beautiful just standing there, but she quickly shook her head and walked over.
Standing a few feet from you, she copied what you were doing.
“We’ve been trying to call you. I’ve been trying to call you.”
You glanced at her before turning away from her.
“Yeah.. it uh.. it died weeks ago. I don’t actually think I know where it is…”
“Did you check under your bed? You have a habit of throwing it under there when you’re ignoring it.”
You opened your mount to try and defend yourself but you knew she was right. Whenever you were avoiding people you hid your phone under your bed.
“I didn’t look there…”
Rosa looked at you.
“Look… I can’t say I’m not pissed. Because I’m pissed, really pissed okay?”
“Then why come Rosa? If you’re so pissed why come here? Aren’t you scared of the big bad vampires?” You scoffed a little.
Rosa rolled her eyes, walking over she pushed your shoulder making you turn to face her.
“No you moron, I’m not scared. I was just pissed off you never said anything.”
You rose a brow at her and she rolled her eyes.
“I’m not scared.”
“You know I know when you’re lying.”
“Fine, but I’m never going to admit it. But why didn’t you tell me?”
You threw your hands in the air.
“What the hell was I suppose to say?! Hey Rosa by the way I’m a vampire, one of the original vampires, my sister has been dead half my life, and my brothers are a raging psychopath and a sophisticated peacekeeper who cleans up my psycho brothers mess?!”
“Hey! That’s not nice you know!”
You glared at the back door.
“Fuck off Niklaus!”
He smirked and went back inside and you turned to Rosa.
“What the hell was I supposed to tell you?”
She sighed a little.
“I don’t know, okay? I don’t know. But how did you hide it so well?”
You smirked a little.
“I’m over a thousand years old Rosa, you think you’re good at keeping secrets? Try keeping them for that long.”
“Shit you’re old as hell. Doesn’t that make you a creep or something?”
You playfully slapped her shoulder and she smiled softly at you, letting out another sigh.
“Look, I’m sorry. Okay? I’m only saying it once and if you tell anyone I’ll break your jaw.”
“You couldn’t, but I won’t tell anyone.”
You noticed your siblings lurking in the background and you hopped over your fence, holding your hand out to Rosa.
She looked behind her and climbed over the fence, taking your hand to let you pull her down and you both walked away.
“Were you ever going to tell me?”
“I… to be honest? No…”
“What the hell were you going to do when I got older and you didn’t then?”
“Cosmetic surgery?”
Rosa scoffed, shaking her head at you.
“Unbelievable.”
You grinned a little.
Placing your hands behind you back, you spun around, walking backward as you smiled softly at her.
It was that smile Rosa couldn’t resist no matter how much she wanted too she just could. It was something about that soft innocent smile that drew her in.
She stopped walking so you stopped as well.
“Will you answer any questions I have?” She asked.
“Of course, anything.”
So that’s what you two did.
You led her to your favourite flower patch, and as much as she didn’t want to sit in it you did so you both sat there and you answered every single question she had.
From when you became a vampire and how, to what you ate and how often and how you came about it.
Rosa couldn’t imagine you hurting anyone, and from what you told her you never had.
It reassured her a little bit knowing you had the power to kill anyone you wanted, but you refused because you didn’t like hurting people.
She believed it.
Maybe she shouldn’t, but hell she watched you cry for an hour when you accidentally hit her in the head with a cabinet door.
“I moved away from my siblings because well.. I wanted to try live a normal life, and I had a huge fight with Klaus, so I wanted to get away.”
You laid down, gazing up at the sunny sky.
“That’s why you joined the NYPD?” She asked.
“Nah I was just bored when I did that.”
She laughed a little.
“I don’t regret it though, because I wouldn’t have met you. But I regret not telling you sooner, I understand if you don’t want to be with me. Hell I can even make you forget me if you want, If that’ll make it easier.”
Rosa shuffled over, leaning over, hands planted on either side of your head as she looked down at you.
You smiled a little, bringing a hand up to brush her hair behind ear.
“What if I don’t what to forget?”
“I’m dangerous…”
Rosa smirked, leaning down, nose brushing against yours.
“I like danger.”
With that, she leant down and kissed you deeply, one you were more than happy and eager to kiss her back, missing the feeling of her lips against yours.
You heard some cheering and clapping and quickly pushed Rosa away, rolling her over she he back was against the grass and you sat up.
You spotted your siblings and the rest of the 99 team stood not that far away.
“You pervs!” You shouted.
Rosa quickly shot up, looking at them all as they all came over and you knew she was furious with them.
“Don’t.” You whispered.
She looked at you but nodded her head, letting them all come over to tackle you into a hug and ask you about everything and get to learn about your siblings.
You knew it would be a slow start with Rosa, it would take a while to sort everything out again, but something told you that after some time you two would be okay

> not so studious • gf!chou tzuyu x gn!reader
your thoughtful girlfriend makes a boring class a lot less sufferable.
tags :: fluff, established relationship, high school au, jisun is a real one, proofread, tzuyu is a cutie patootie, im bad at tagging, mrs na L
cast :: y/n, tzuyu, jisun
wc :: 500 +
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
you sat in class, twiddling your thumbs slowly. it was a boring subject, history. not a fraction of your attention was on the chalk board or teacher, you figured you can just look up the answers when you get home. you'd whip your phone out or talk to seatmates but your teacher, mrs. na, would immediately confiscate your device / shut down any conversation, even when the lesson is over. sometimes you wonder why she even teaches.
while stuck in your thoughts, you feel a tap on your left shoulder. you threw your head around to see your classmate, jisun, handing you a sticky note. you nodded at her as thanks, and you read the light pink note. it had ' are you paying attention ? ' written in dark blue pen, and you raised a brow. but with some quick thinking, you realized who wrote this note.
with another whip of the head, you see your girlfriend, tzuyu, staring at you, head in her hands. her boba eyes blinked slowly, waiting for a reaction. you shook your head, signaling no, i'm not paying attention, making her sigh. you giggled once she started writing fast on the sticky notepad, and you turned back around, anticipating the next note you'll recieve.
it didn't take long at all for the next to be delivered, jisun tapping you once more. with another "thank you" nod, you read the note.
' i can give u hw answers later if u want ? ' topped off with a heart, you smiled subtly. she's so sweet, you turned around and nodded, and she gave you a thumbs up. you decided to take out a notepad of your own, a yellow one rather than pink, and you started scribbling with your mechanical pencil.
' u r a lifesaver ty ily tzu ' and below it u drew a kissy face, making you giggle at yourself. mrs. na gave you a side eye, but quickly went back to writing on the board, the screeching of the chalk making you feel reasonably annoyed. you gave this note to jisun, and she smirked when she saw it's contents.
your message made it to tzuyu and you saw her dimples form and a blush creep up onto her soft cheeks. her dimples were your favorite, and you wished you could get up in the middle of the lecture and poke them while complimenting you in that baby voice she hates so much, "i'm not a baby, im literally older than you babe."
it felt like heaven when that sweet, sweet dismissal bell rang, causing students to run out of class like their lives depended on it. and your first priority was to turn around to jisun, "sorry for making you our messenger," she smiled lightly, "don't worry about it."
tzuyu came up behind you with a "boo!" which genuinely made you flinch, "you think you're real funny, huh?"
"yeah i do." she smirks, which you reciprocated. and at this point, you're the only ones in the class besides from mrs. na, which you hadn't even noticed.
"ladies. hurry up, i have a meeting." she says, tapping her foot. you and tzuyu giggle and jog out of the classroom, hand in hand.
a/n :: FIRST WORK IN A WHILE!! its simple but its cute. enjoy

surprising joão with a basketful of candy after training
tiny drabble (: also joão and r call each other 'cara' romantically, which translates to 'dude' in portuguese.
you know how hard ur boyfriend trains to get better and to be better. sometimes u feel bad for him. the long hours of training a day is probably torture for him, and u reckoned that the only thing keeping him going is u as well as his teammates.
u decided u wanted to be the reason why joão smiled for real today. u drove to the grocery store and picked up joão's favorite candy bars, ranging from snickers bars all the way to m&m's. whatever that could possibly give him a toothache from eating them too much, u chucked it in ur basket.
tomorrow is his first off day in a while, and he'd talked about wanting to stay up and play video games. u also were aware about how much coffee joão drinks, so as an alternative, u get him those monster energy drinks. lesser caffeine, more power, you thought.
hours after, joão finally managed to get his foot in the house. your head flicks to the left as soon as u heard the door, joão's head darts up from the front door, smiling at u before shutting and locking the door. "hey b."
"hey," u smile. "ur back late." u sit up, grabbing the remote from the coffee table, pausing ur sitcom.
"yeah sorry. enzo held me back," he explains, making his way over to u, kissing ur cheek before dropping his bag and sitting on the couch next to u. noticing what sitcom u were watching prior, he sighs. "brooklyn nine-nine without me?"
u smile apologetically. "im sorry. but i have something that'll cheer u up though." joão's eyes light up in curiosity, watching u walk over to the kitchen.
"i curated something super cool for u today." u say with the full basket of candy in your arms.
"muito fixe?" joão confirms. [very cool? in pt-pt]
"muito legal." u reply, putting the basket on his lap. [very cool. in br-pt]
"a shit load of candy!" joão smiles, running his hands through every snack there is in the hamper. "u know me so well, cara."
"duh," u scoff. "and i know how much u miss gaming, so i got u a can of monster." u pull out the can of monster from under the basket, hidden under the snickers and mars bars.
"this was the flavour i've been telling u about!" he points at the can in excitement. "thank u babe. what a gift."
"ur welcome, cara." u smile, about to lean back against the couch and put up scream or a random horror movie.
"can i still hang out with u?" joão asks, putting the basket on the dining table. "right after i clean up, of course."
"yeah of course," u nod. "yeah yeah. we could watch scream."
"i hate those films, cara. u know that!" joão drops his shoulders and groans.
"but stu macher!" u argue.
"fine," he gives in, walking towards ur bedroom, complaining about u to himself. "i don't get why she likes that guy, he kills people, cara. weirdo."

Phillip's
Benoit Blanc believed there was no godly reason to have five coffee shops within walking distance of one another. So when a new shop called Phillip’s opened just down the street, Benoit couldn’t help but petulantly roll his eyes. At least the name wasn’t idiotic. Also on AO3...
Tumblr media
To be honest, Benoit Blanc thought there were too many coffee shops in the world.
Jesus wept; there was no godly reason to have five coffee shops within walking distance of one another. Macco-choco caramel this, that, and the other—a waste of real estate. And the pastries they served? Travesty. Utter travesty. So when a new shop called Phillip’s opened just down the street, Benoit couldn’t help but petulantly roll his eyes. At least the name wasn’t idiotic.
He walked past Phillip’s—it was on his way home, after all—and ignored the smells coming from within, or at least tried to. Benoit’s neighbor, Mrs. Reynolds with the very sweet basset hound named Droopy, had said Phillip’s baked goods were “quite tasty.” Quite tasty, however, wasn’t enough to tempt him to enter the establishment. That was until Phillip’s had the utter audacity to put a sign in the window declaring they had delicious fresh beignets.
Beignets? Outside of New Orleans? Benoit couldn’t help but huff. He had to investigate that surely outlandish claim.
When he pushed his way through the coffee shop door, he instantly noticed how tastefully decorated the shop was. Fresh flowers sat at each table, everything was painted a lovely pale yellow, and Ella Fitzgerald rang from the speakers. Hmm. The shop was fairly empty, with just a few patrons at one table. Benoit couldn’t tell if that was a portend or if he just came in between a rush.
He looked at the chalkboard menu above the counter and studied it for a moment until someone cleared their throat and broke into his space.
“Welcome to Phillip’s,” a voice said.
“Yes, hello, thank you. Can I--”
Benoit looked at the source of the voice, and…
Oh, shitballs.
Well, he was just Benoit’s type, now, wasn’t he? Dark hair, blue eyes, a quizzical brow, and a crooked smile that made him want to trip over himself. He wore a tie-dyed apron and a nametag that read Phillip.
“We have some cheddar bacon scones just out of the oven.”
“Uh…”
“Unless you’re a vegan or something, then scratch that,” the man, the Phillip said.
Benoit took his wits about him as he tried to ignore Phillip’s smile and floppy hair.
“Beignets?” he finally croaked out.
“Ah, a connoisseur of the beignet are you?” Phillip asked as he leaned on his elbows against the counter.
“Yes, you could say that. Absolutely.”
Phillip’s eyes widened slightly, and then he shook his head and laughed.
“Yeah, judging by that accent, you could definitely say that,” he said. “Bugger.”
Benoit smiled and shrugged.
“Beignets outside of New Orleans shows quite the braggadocio.”
This time it was Phillip who grinned and shrugged.
“I hope they’re up to snuff.”
He looked over his shoulder and shouted.
“Lou! Hey, Lou! How long on the beignets?”
“Five minutes!” a voice from out back replied.
“Well, there you go. You can let me know what you think in five minutes. Anything else?”
The two looked at each other for a beat, the ghost of a smile still lingering.
“Coffee?”
“Room for cream?”
“No, thank you.”
“Takeaway?”
“Yes, please.”
“Name.”
“Blanc. Benoit Blanc.”
Benoit wasn’t quite sure exactly why he gave his whole name like that, but he did. Phillip snorted.
“Blanc? Benoit Blanc? What are you? James Bond?”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Okay, fine,” Phillip said and exhaled loudly.
“Fine?”
“Some people like to give made-up names, and at this point, I’ve stopped reacting—or at least trying to react. Especially with one as silly as this.”
“Silly?” Benoit sputtered. “Listen--”
“Is that Blanc with a ‘c’ or a ‘q-u-e’?” Phillip asked with an eyebrow raised.
“A ‘c.’”
“I see,” Phillips said as he wrote on the cup and filled it with coffee. “Here you go, Blanc-with-a-C. The beignet will be right up.”
Benoit paid, and as their fingers grazed, he couldn’t help the tiny flip his insides did.
Phillip cleared his throat again and said, “Very well then. It should only be a few minutes on the beignets.”
“Thank you.”
Benoit sat at one of the cushy corner armchairs in a very supple dark grey suede and sipped his coffee.
“Is it always this quiet in here?” he asked toward the counter.
The patrons at the one table turned to look at Benoit.
“Quiet? Hardly,” Phillip called back. “You came during a quiet pocket. It’ll pick up again in an hour.”
Benoit sat and watched as Phillip wiped down the table, his forearms strong while they worked in a circular motion. Phillip paused and looked up right at Benoit, who startled and quickly looked down at his coffee cup.
Phillip shook his head and grinned as he wiped some more.
Lou, apparently, walked out from the back with a tray full of beignets.
“Order up for Blanc,” Phillip said.
Benoit walked up to the counter and breathed an internal sigh of relief as he looked at the beignets. They were a beautiful shade of light brown and covered in powdered sugar.
“I stand ready for your judgment,” Phillip said as he shook some more powdered sugar onto one and gently put it on a plate.
Benoit pick it up and took a bite. It was yeasty and sweet, but not overpowering. It was as fragant and airy as a summer’s night in Savannah.
“Oh, my word.” He took another bite. “Oh my goodness.”
Phillip smiled.
“Good, right?”
“It's… well, yes,” Benoit said with delight.
“I know.”
Benoit put down the beignet and quickly placed a ten in the tip jar and smiled, upper lip covered in powdered sugar.
“Well! What a compliment!” Phillip said as he picked up the jar and looked at it, puzzled.
“What’s wrong?” Benoit asked and gingerly wiped his mouth with a napkin.
“Come on! Just an hour ago, this jar was almost full! My tip jar’s been nicked again.”
Phillip sighed, walked over to the register, took out some money, and placed it in the tip jar.
“If it were just me working here, I wouldn't care so much, but Lou and the kids all divvy up the tips. This is the second time it’s happened. I thought the first time was a fluke but I supposed it wasn’t.”
“So sorry that's happening.”
“What kind of a cretin steals tips? I need a detective to solve this nonsense!”
A detective? Benoit couldn't help but laugh.
“What? What's so funny?”
“No, it's just that--”
“What?”
“Well,” Benoit said. “I'm a detective.”
Phillip put his hands on his hips. “You are not.”
“Certified and bonafied.”
Phillip laughed. “Oh god! You’re not one of those overbearing sorts that smokes a bloody pipe, fancying themselves Sherlock fucking Holmes, who thinks they’re too smart for their own good?”
“No, I think I’m just the right amount of smart… and I smoke cigars,” Benoit said with a smile.
The two studied each other for a beat, their smiles growing wider by the second.
“You just think you're so charming, don't you?”
“I have my moments.”
Benoit felt someone watching, turned, and noticed the people sitting at the table looking at them amusedly. The woman at the table mouthed Go on to him.
“Well, all right then, Blanc. Would you like to have dinner sometime?” Phillip said. “You know, to go over the case.”
“Are you hiring me?”
Phillip moved his hand in a so-so motion.
“Not sure yet. I'll let you know after dinner.”
Benoit took another bite of the beignet and sighed.
"Flying colors.”
Phillips smiled smugly.
“Well, Blanc. Let me introduce myself properly. I'm Phillip. Phillip White.”
“Phillip White? You’re pullin’ my leg!”
“No,” Phillip laughed softly. “I promise you, I am not. My hands are nowhere near your legs.”
“Phillip,” Benoit said and stretched out his hand, “it's a pleasure to meet you.”
“Lovely to meet you, Blanc.”
The two smiled at one another, surrounded by pastries, music, and flowers. And if their handshake lasted a bit longer than it should have, well, there was no mystery as to why.

Hi! Loved your TF2 “one bed tropes” part 1! So glad you’re back writing too! Your ability to really capture each of the guys’ personalities is fabulously uncanny. You really make them come to life.
I was wondering how you think the mercs would react to their s/o being insecure/jealous that someone out of their age range is flirting with them. That is to say, the s/o is the same age as the merc and the ‘flirter’ is either younger (in the case of Spy or Medic, etc) or older (as for Scout). I hope that made sense!
Thank you!
YOOOOO THANK U SO MUCH 😭😭😭 I APPRICIATE IT thats very nice ahshshdh 😋😋😋 I'm smiling so hard rn ty :)
but yeah totally! I love this idea
Mercs reacting to an upset reader because merc was getting flirted on by someone not their age.
characters: all mercenaries
warnings: none
note: reader gender is not specified!!!
situaaation
You and Merc were at a gathering, just hanging out. You go to get drinks for the both of you, but when you come back you see thay they're being flirted with by a random person. You get a bit upset, and the insecurities start getting to you :(
♡Scout♡
• doesn't catch onto the flirting, because he is not interested in them at all so he just thinks the person flirting is just a real nice person.
• he gets lost in the convo with the person and doesn't even notice you see them together. you don't know what it is but your heart swells, your hands are gripping the glasses but you calm yourself down.
'Man, jealousy is not my colour.'
They talk for a bit until the person has to leave, when you come over and hand him the drink he notices how dry your being.
"Yo, you good toots? Sum' happen?"
"Oh no, I'm uh...good."
He can read you like a book. You never get quiet with him unless something happened.
"Yeah, no, we're not doin' this. C'mon."
He takes you by the hand and leads you both somewhere quieter, his gaze on you is one of concern.
"What happened? Did I do sum'?"
"No no! It's just...I don't know."
He gives you a moment to speak,
"You know that...lady you spoke to a bit ago? I don't know why but, the way she spoke to you just sorta made me feel...jealous."
"Jealous? Aw babe, its cute that your jealous but you have nothin' to be jealous of."
"Yeah but...I don't know. She was so confident with you, she was...real pretty too. I just got kinda...worried you know? Like, she could replace me easily. It's stupid- just ignore I said anything."
You smile wearily and awkwardly laugh to move on from the situation and looks away. He frowns, he can feel his heart shattering at your words. He cups your cheek to make you focus on him.
"Y/N, yer the coolest most amazing and awesome person I have ever met. Yer cute, handsome, real pretty too. I'd never even think of replacin' you, got that? Your stuck with me, and I'm stuck with you."
Tears well up in your eyes as you melt into his touch and hold his hand with yours, kissing his palm and smiling softly.
"God, I love you Jer. Thank you, your also the coolest, most awesome, and amazing person I've ever met."
He leans in to kiss your forehead, letting go of your cheek and tightening his hold on your hand.
"You wanna go home and watch some movies at my place?"
"Hell yeah. This place is frickin' boring."
♡Soldier♡
• I know soldier is dense and all, but I can't really see him to be dense towards flirting.
• so you probably don't need to be jealous? Because the moment another person goes up to him to flirt with him he will get very angry.
• "ILL HAVE YOU KNOW I AM TAKEN BY A VERY LOVELY PERSON! AND I AM NOT LOOKING TO BE WITH ANYBODY ELSE OTHER THAN THEM! DO NOT BOTHER ME AGAIN, OR I WILL MAKE YOU GO THROUGH HELL!"
• so..no he's not really someone you need to be jealous of. But, if there were to be a scenario where someone was going over his head and you got jealous, I think he'd find your jealousy quite...attractive?
• he's always been the rough and leader type, so when you take initiative by talking to him later alone about how you felt so aggravated by the person who was flirting with him and how you felt upset, he felt bad but also kind of think its sweet.
of course he will tell you that he belongs to you and only you, going as far as creating you a fake certificate that says your his and he's yours. (it's so sweet) but he will also tell you how cute you are when your jealous. He loves that possessiveness to you!
• I can't say much about jealousy when it comes to the either of you, he doesn't get jealous often.
♡Pyro♡
• he doesn't see the signs of the flirting. because like...boy has major self esteem issues and is taking any form of flirting as a sign of friendship, its a sad way to think but it's also because of the fact he wouldn't think anyone would flirt with him now that he's taken.
• so when he notices you gripping the cups your holding and having a slight frown to your face, he instantly gets worried and ignores the person entirely. He's very attentive to small details, so he knows somethings up.
"Mmhud hhuuhhdhmmahd? Mmhhud hhuuh mmhhuhahh?" (What happened? Are you okay?)
"Yeah-sorry I just...I don't know. That person's flirting with you, ya know?"
"HUUH." (OH.)
he deadass didn't know LMFAOOO like yeah like I said, good at reading tones but he genuinely didn't have any interest in the person so he didn't pay much attention.
"It's silly but...I don't know-forget it. Here, I got us our drinks."
"Hhhuhhh..mmmhuhda." (Oh..okay.)
For the rest of the party he notices your mood has changed from the happy go lucky one before, so when the party gets quiet he leads you over and sits with you outside.
He asks whats wrong and he frowns when he realises that you were upset because you thought he'd leave you for said person. He gives you a tight hug, and pats your back.
"Hhuhda, Hhuhd mmhuhhda mmmhff mmhuhh mmhhuhd huuhm huuud huuhch."
(Y/N, I'd never leave you for some side bitch.)
That made you chuckle a bit, he continued on explaining about how much you mean to him. It was...tooth rottening shit, I'm talking the shit you cry at from Disney movies.
He's honestly confused on why you'd be jealous because in reality HES SCARED of you leaving him. He's never felt such a connection with someone so understanding and sweet like you, it honestly hurts him that you'd even think this way and it stings even more that you don't realise how your perfect for him.
You two go home early and just spend the night cuddling, he let's you talk more about it and that night you two learn more about yourselves.
♡Demoman♡
• this man is not dense. just like soldier, he knows when someone is tryna get with him.
• so I genuinely don't know any scenarios where you'd be jealous because...this man clings onto you like a fucking KOALA.
• he's the one taking the drinks for you, actually.
• I genuinely cannot see you ever needing to be jealous over him, as hard as I try to write nothing comes up in my head LMFAOOO
• he's not easily jealous either, so yall don't really need to worry about anything.
• if someone tries to ask him out, he'd just sling his arm over your shoulder while he talks to them about another topic. Giving them a smug look and even kissing you on the cheek when you have to go and get something.
♡Heavy♡
• When he notices how quiet you get when this random lady in front of the both of you starts flirting and egging him on, he immediately just shuts her up.
• He politely tells her that he is happily taken, holding your hand and asking her to respect that. If she understands and backs away it's fine, but if she starts to side eye you...hold him down cause he'll beat her ass.
• "Are you okay, lisichka?"
"I guess."
He doesn't know why your being quiet, and instead feels like he's the one to blame...like he did something wrong. He's a mature man, so he wouldn't beat around the bush about it.
"Please be honest with me, did I do something Y/N?"
"Oh-no no sorry...its just-" You sigh "I don't know, I sometimes wonder why your with me. Like...you could do better. You know?"
He let's you vent to him for a bit but truth be told he can't help but shake his head in disagreement and grip your hand when he does.
"You are the most wonderful person I have ever met. No words can describe how much I care for you, moya lyubov. Whatever it is you are thinking, I am sorry. But I love you, and not anybody else. If there is person who make you feel like this, I will crush their tiny head. Da?"
"...yea. I... thanks babe."
"Of course. Do not worry, Heavy will never leave your side, lisichka."
• he holds your hand the entire night and glares at anybody who even tries to get close to you, or him.
♡Engineer♡
• like demo, he's not dense in any sense. But I have a feeling for some reason, he'd like to see you jealous. In fact, he'd find it quite cute.
• but at this moment he was enjoying himself too much to realise that the person who was listening to him ramble was actually trying to flirt with him.
• it was a junior engineer, you saw how he smiled at them and something in you sortve broke. They looked so calm, collected, and smart. Honestly speaking, you don't understand much of what Engie usually talks about but you still like hearing about it. But seeing someone who does know, with their stupidly good hair and stupidly attractive self...that made you feel a bit upset.
• Engie had noticed you coming back with the drinks, having that same usual soft smile on his face when he greets you. But he can tell by your strained smile that something is bothering you, how you lightly grip the glass in your hands, he can tell you know, he's not dumb.
It clicks in his head, he takes the drink from you and excuses himself from the junior engineer, asking you if you want to be somewhere quieter. You agree, letting him take the both of you outside.
• "Sugar, are you alright?"
He doesn't even waste time, because he knows you. He knows how easily you downgrade yourself in the face of other people, he knows. You don't say it, but he's been with you long enough to understand what those hating glances you throw at yourself in the mirror mean.
"I...man."
The both if you sit in silence for a bit.
"You don't hafta tell me if ya don't wanna honey bee, I'm not forcin you to."
"Yeah...I'm-I just...I guess I feel a bit weird? I don't know how to explain it. Like, the person you talked to...they were so smart. So...soft spoken, so dignified...It makes me wonder why be with me when you have people like that approaching you."
He frowns, you look away but he keeps that worried stare on you.
"Like-why me? I'm such a dork and there's so much people out there who are better compared to me. I'm just some pathetic person you just so happened to meet."
"Hey-no, don't you dare say that about yourself."
Your attention is back on him now, his face is stern.
"Darlin' you are the sweetest and kindest soul I have ever laid my eyes on. You are perfect in every single aspect, and I could give less of a damn to the people around me. You got that?"
• His tone gets a bit rough, but he means well. You know he does, he always does. You can't help the tears that start to form in your eyes, he quickly notices and wipes them away, cupping your cheek and giving you a caring smile.
"Dontcha ever worry about that ever again alright? I love you, so so much. Nothing anyone says or do will ever change how I think about you. You are perfect."
He hugs you tightly, rubbing circles on your back as he let's you cry.
brb gonna sob I wish he was real
♡Medic♡
• I don't think medic would be the type to like social gatherings (unless its a topic he likes), so he tends to be at quieter places. While your out getting drinks, he sits by a quiet part of the room by himself, waiting for you patiently.
• a girl sits by him, giving him a smile. He returns one too, to be polite of course.
"You come here often?"
Oh boy. Not this.
He didn't wanna be here in the first place and now he has to TALK to people? Cmon Y/N where are you.
"No! Zhis is a social gathering...and it is my first time being here."
"Ah, it's my first time too. My names Angela, you?"
"My coworkers call me Medic."
"Pleasure to meet you Medic."
The convo just goes on, but honestly medic isn't even paying attention at this point. He just wants OUT of this conversation.
• When he sees you back with the drinks in your hand he instantly lights up, getting up from the chair and going to greet you.
"There you are! Sorry it took a while, the ball room is CROWDED."
"Ah, it is alright mein liebe. Now, let's go."
"HUH? Go where?"
He doesn't even say anything else and just walks away with you outside, not even giving you a chance to look at Angela's pissed off face.
• when you both are finally alone, he sighs and chugs the glass of champagne you got him.
"Woahhh there buddy, slow down."
"Zhat was HORRIBLE. Zhe woman I was talking to was so incredibly boring, she went on and ooonnnnn about how she's making a new...'makeup line' the ingredients she told me about are NOT skin friendly. It honestly bothers me how so many morons are at zhis gathering."
He just goes on and on, you have to stop him from breaking the glass of champagne from how much he's gripping it.
"Woah okay okay-lets just go home okay? The people here are kinda annoying. One guy kept on trying to ask for my number even though I told him I was taken."
He stops
"Oh really? And, where is this gentleman?"
"...nevermind. forget I said anything."
"No no, tell me. I just want to meet them."
"Yeah let's get back. It's late."
♡Sniper♡
• nope. no.
• he sees someone walking up to him? Automatically just runs away.
• he is also clinging onto you the entire time, or staying outside to wait for you. No fucking way is he having HUMAN CONVERSATIONS. FUCK THAT SHIT.
• yeah, sorry. He'd probably get jealous of you pretty easily though!
♡Spy♡
• oh now this is interesting.
• this mf would ACTIVELY make you jealous. Like the asshole he is.
• now sadly, this asshole is being a bigger asshole than usual, because he doesn't take into consideration that you are insecure.
• so when he sees you having tears in your eyes, gripping the glasses and having a slight frown when he's jokingly flirting with another person, automatically just drops everything.
• he grabs you by the waist and kisses you, wiping your tears away and cupping your cheek.
"I'm so sorry mon couer, it seems I have went over line. I would never love anyone else, it was merely a terrible joke." He will literally just take you out that night and make out with you. Buying you gifts and taking you to cafes, and repeatedly apologising whenever you think about it.
He doesn't quite understand why your insecure, but he will listen to your rants anyways.
"Ma belle, you are as radiant as the sun, as sweet as sugar, and as delightful as the night sky. I would not trade you for anything or anyone. Nothing can ever separate us, because I have fallen for you. I am forever yours, and you are mine."
corny ahh mf (I want him inside of me)
hi!!
I'm so sorry for...not writing for like a month or more HAHHAHAHAHAHHA shit has been so rough lately. Anyways WOO I'm writing again.

What color would u say Akira’s eyes are? I see a lot of people say gray and I’ve also seen red, but I always thought they were a dark brown
You’re starting a cult around him so I figured you’d have an opinion
ok 1) not starting a cult that's just an in-joke making fun of a silly anon i got. 2) yes i do have an opinion. but also ...... FACTS !!! I usually go grey as the normal default but I understand the confusion. Official artworks for merchandise range from black to a light blue 😭. Lets take a trip down model / reference lane, shall we? First up: P5D!
Tumblr media
We'll rope P5 / P5R into this too, because it's the same colour. Akira's eyes appear this shade... almost always! The metaverse, the real world... grey as graphite. Ah, but "almost! almost!?" you cry! Yes, yes. There's one exception.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Recall the persona awakening scene. Recall *all* of them, actually. All persona users have their eyes turn yellow when tearing their mask off.
This holds true for their models as well! For a few frames, during the summoning animation, their faces turn black and their eyes turn yellow. It's easier to see on some characters than others. (Others being joker. this took me SO long to scrub for.) Now, lets look at his sprites! So I guess we can call this part uh, Persona Q.A? (That's what these sprites are from, anyway...)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now these eyes definitely look black! Honestly I think you could argue that the previous set were black too. On their own, they seem grey but the key thing to compare them with here is Akira's hair. They're both the same colour in the sprites and uh, that's definitely not grey hair. Now the anime! I won't be covering P5A: The Daybreakers because. Well. It'd just be more "Wow it's black. Now it's black again." P5A Is interesting because I swear to god his eyes were red when they were in mementos. but i must've imagined that???
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
That's just not a thing that happens! It's grey! The only exception is the... [shudders] All Out Attack. (Which also happens in P5:the game. forgot to mention that earlier; but it could be chalked up to mere aesthetic choice)
Tumblr media
My assumption about red-eyes is at least partially true though. Nnnot in the sense that what I thought happened, happened, but more-so... Whenever Joker is depicted with red eyes, it's in his PT outfit. And like... only that outfit.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mementos mission loves doing it. p5a does it. Artists do it. my BRAIN does it. Q2 also does it!! (hi all out attack. again)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
other notable mentions for Doin' It Red While Being Joker are Akirby and the Official Jonker Nendo. Idk what that means but! Yeah
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A few promo arts do the red-eyes thing like this original key art and multiple official illustrations for p5's release. I think it's just a fun aesthetics thing honestly. p5 is red. akira is from p5. slap some red on that bitch on him eye.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ key art | strikers art | og p5 art ] So that solves that mystery. I think the idea of brown eyes either comes from being realistic (black eyes irl are just really really dark brown) op's colour palette ooooooooooor.... misunderstanding an official palette!
Tumblr media
This is Q2's cut in graphic. The eyes look kind of brown, right? But it's mostly just a lighting thing. The face is darkened and the eye's colour is lightened to give that slick piercing-gaze-through-the-shadows effect.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Q2 Akira is pretty pasty, as we can see here. the skintone matches the brightest highlight in the cut-in image.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
striker's sprites eyes look pretty brown too, but if you look at the hair and shadows, you can see it's because everything has a brown hue. we're doing black without doing black! (...except for the deepest shadows and lines, but cmon. if you put black on black its just gonna look like a big ol' blob.) this same effect is often used in many tribute artworks for p5 that aren't in the usual black/white/single colour style or crossover artwork because............ well it's basic colour theory. The only exception to the "rules" i've laid out here I have ever seen is the artwork done for Persora The Golden Best 5th Album artwork.
Tumblr media
WHY ARE THEY BLUE. THAT'S WRONG. anyway. hoped this post helps you. my personal opinion is grey / silver if i wanna get all OOooh FANCY when writing a fic and waxing poetic and then yellow when summoning a persona or using some kind of spell in mementos. don't see brown in the slightest and red... yeah, i'll pass on having that be his default in mementos? maybe? idk i go back and forth on it lol. just get jiggy with it

You and Your Friends - Warning
HELLO!!!! This part was originally gonna be much longer, but tumblr kept messing up my drafts and I had to rewrite it a few times. And instead of keeping u waiting, I decided to just post this as it is as a single part/chapter. I hope you still enjoy!
this is a Bakugou x Y/N slowburn
Warnings!!!: bad words, Bakugou is mean 😔
Genre: slice of life!
Previous Chapter
Next Chapter
All chapters Masterlist!!
Tumblr media
After breakfast, the class started bit by bit making their way out the dorms and to the school building. It was strange going to school and seeing the same people you've been seeing all morning already, felt a lot less lonely than it might feel at home to some, Y/N thought to herself.
"What do we even have now? I totes just forgot our entire schedule." Mina looked up with a finger to her lips.
"Mhm? Uhh, I dunno, English I think." Y/N muttered after having been pulled out of her thoughts again.
They reached the school's entrance along with many others. Walking up the stairs and into the giant hallway. U.A's hallways were about the width of an average street, and the height of a small house. It was hard not to get intimidated by it all when applying here.
Now however, the students were already used to it all, and the hallway that had been empty just a few minutes ago, was now echoing with the sound of student's footsteps and chatter.
"Man!" Kaminari exclaimed as they all reached their classroom. "Ever since the dorms I haven't been late once!"
"Yeah, not on the class rep's watch!" Sero added with his signature grin.
"It's real nice spending the morning with everyone now!" Kirishima joined in. "I mean, even I thought it'd be a bit awkward with privacy and stuff, but it's been fun! Right neighbour?"
He grinned over to Bakugou, who was just about to take his seat.
"Shut up dumbass." Sneered Bakugou. "AND STOP COMING TO MY ROOM! If you're so worried about privacy how 'bout you leave me some!!"
"Aw hey, I'm just checking up on you, buddy!" Kirishima frowned, to which Bakugou just huffed while plopping into his chair.
While her classmates chatted, Y/N's head throbbed with a dull ache. She sat down with a hand on her forehead.
The chatter died down entirely once the class's homeroom teacher, Aizawa, entered the room. He was rubbing his tired eyes with his thumb and index finger as he walked up to his desk. Y/N looked up in slight surprise, as she had expected Present Mic to enter and begin the day with an English lesson.
The other students seemed surprised aswell, some tensing up slightly at what he might announce.
"Good morning class. As you can see, we've changed today's schedule a bit. It's been a while anyway..." He said, nonchalantly as ever.
More student's eyes had widened, knowing exactly just what he might say next.
Aizawa looked up, the corners of his lips rising slowly as his mouth cracked open into a grin. Further and further confirming the student's greatest fears.
"It's time for a pop quiz!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!"
☆ ☆ ☆
Once the bell rang, a few of the students quickly ran to leave their classroom as though it was keeping them hostage, to escape the shame and terror they felt from the sudden pop quiz.
"Hey no-" lida gasped and quickly jumped out of his seat, almost tripping over himself. "No running in the halls!" He yelled, as he ran after the others, pointing a hasty hand at them.
Meanwhile Kaminari fiddled around with a piece of paper which he was frantically trying to pull out of his bag. When he finally got it out, he ran to Aizawas desk, slapping it on the pile of papers already there, consisting of everyone's homework for the day.
Upon a second glance, Sero could tell how crinkled and foldy the paper was. "Hey, I told you not to crumble it too much!"
"Sorry! I almost forgot to bring it and just sorta stuffed it in my bag! Atleast I handed it in on time though!" Kaminari pointed a thumbs up to his friend.
Mina groaned, leaning back in her chair with a hand on her stomach. "Ughh, we've still got three lessons until lunch, but I'm already hungry again!"
To this, Tsuyu put a finger to her lip. "We just had breakfast about an hour ago, Mina."
Another groan escaped both Mina, and also Y/N. Y/N, who was sat between Mina and Tsu, also leaned back, running both of her hands up her forehead and through her hair. Next she crouched back down, folding her arms and resting her head on her desk.
"Are you okay by the way? You barely even had breakfast, Y/N." Tsuyu added. Mina turned around to look at the other girls, her eyebrows furrowed in worry.
"I'm okay. I'll just lay down on this table and pass out for the next seven hours, or I'll just die. Whatever. Doesn't matter." Y/N muttered mostly to herself.
The other girls could only share a worried look. Tsu had just opened her mouth to say something, when suddenly a louder, harsher voice forced it's way into the conversation
"Your dumbassery catching up on you?"
"Hey! Leave her alone!" Mina gasped at Bakugou, putting a protective hand on Y/N's head.
"Its her own fault for acting like a fucking idiot. Hey, weren't you at the top of the class just a month ago or so?" He taunted Y/N.
The other student's eyes flickered between them. Mina was just about to retort, but Y/N cut her off.
"Since when are you so conversational? Didn't think you cared that much about me. Stay outta my business, headass." Y/N snapped back, glaring up at him.
"HEY! I DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU DO!" Bakugou yelled. "Just thought you were stronger than this. You've been slacking for a while now, can't even put up a good fight anymore."
Just then Kirishima came running to the rescue. "Hey, hey! What's going on here? What's got you so worked up all of a sudden?" He put a hand on Bakugou's shoulder, only for it to be pushed away.
"I'm saying you're fucking yourself over with whatever you're doing. It's pissing me off." He warned Y/N. His eyes squinting and his brows furrowed. Y'N's eyes flickered between him and the rest of the class, her mouth open in confusion at his accusation. He simply t'ched before leaving the classroom without another word.
Y/N wanted to snap back, but there was no more room for a witty comeback. Only a glance to give Kirishima as he shrugged and smiled apologetically.
Mina's eyes followed Bakugou as he left, her brows furrowed and lips slightly pursed as she softly shook her head in disapproval. Then she turned her head back to Y/N, a determined look in her eyes.
"Ignore him!" She said. But Y/N only looked up at her, almost disbelievingly, before quickly closing her own eyes and letting go of a long sigh.
"Whatever, I'm too tired for this."
Kirishima took a few steps closer to stand right next to the girls. "To be fair, I don't know what he means either. S'not very manly, just blowing up on someone like that for no reason..."
"It's whatever." Y/N replied. "He's just projecting some shit again. Probably got his own problems setting him off like that." She added, changing the topic primarily to Bakugou.
They all looked at each other for a second, before Kirishima took some quick steps to the exit. "I'll uh, I'll go and talk to him!" He said, before also disappearing out through the door.

inevitable contentment
Tumblr media
genre : fluff, slight angst, comfort
pairing : seungmin x fem!reader
warnings : anxiety, overstimulation
wc : 700
t-note: i honestly hate this fic, i feel like it makes no sense and is kinda corny, but it's still worth posting ig. again, my writing has gotten better i swear!!! this is probably over a year old, and completely self indulgent. anywho, i'd appreciate any feedback you have, enjoy cuties! (btw, a rotring is a cool pencil!!! just 4 context, i just love them lol)
Tumblr media
1:22 pm
honestly…. you had never known u could be so aware of so many things before. the way that butterfly shaped group number swung gently as it hung above the desks. the discarded rotring 600. 0.5- i mean who would just throw away a perfectly good black and red rotring??  
and although you could spend hours pondering on how someone could be so careless and stupid to throw away SUCH… a good pencil. though deep down, you knew that this wasn’t real. i mean yeah you were definitely in your 4th period mythology class and there was DEFINITELY a perfectly good S tier pencil laying on the ground diagonal from you but, this wasn’t the real reason your brain was going 1000 miles per minute. i mean that doesn’t even qualify as a real reason to be so hyper aware and anxious but really, the itch you had to get up and grab that pencil was this close to sending you into an aneurysm. 
but before you could begin to work up the courage, that bittersweet sound of the school bell rang. signaling it was time for lunch. 
you swiftly grabbed all your things and left, sending a sweet smile toward your teacher on the way out.
as you made your way through the halls, you contemplated bailing. you knew the minute you saw him everything in you, whatever it was, would come crashing down and you’d end up crying into his chest for the entirety of lunch. again.
but you knew better than that. you knew that the minute you didn’t show he’d start blowing up your phone and searching all over for you and someway, somehow, he’d find you. so with a deep sigh, you continued your trek toward the empty orchestra room.
upon your arrival, you could already feel the lump in your stomach. slowly climbing its way up your esophagus, soon to find its home in your throat. but it's already long forgotten as you see that gorgeous head of black hair. almost instantaneously you feel a comforting warmth fill your chest. 
you shuffle foot to foot, waiting for him to notice you’re there. although the manga he’s reading seems to have quite the interesting plot.
then, as if he could sense you waiting, his head whipped around. jesus, is he okay? looks like he almost got whi-
“oh my goodness”
he shot up giddily and started walking toward you
oh boy here comes the waterworks
your face contorts into an awkward look as you try to keep the last of your dignity to yourself just this once, but that no longer matters anymore as he wraps his arms around your waist and beams you the sweetest smile you’ve ever seen.
“hi sweetness”
he says in the most gentle voice you could’ve ever imagined
but now, your brain begins to focus a little less on the pretty boy in front of you and a little more on the ache in your throat as you let out a watery,
“hi”
seungmin immediately leaned back to see if he could catch a glance of your face but you could feel the tears about to drop, and you couldn’t handle anymore embarrassment right now
“what’s wrong baby? what happened”
you simply shook your head in response, knowing you’d let out an ugly sob if you tried talking. 
“cmon sweet girl look at me, tell me what’s wrong”
you sniffled sharply, desperate for the tears to stop,
“nothing minnie, just a bad day..”
he then wrapped his arms around you in a bear hug, moving one up to your head,
“i know that’s not it babe but i won’t push you, you wanna eat and read with me?”
you sniffled one last time before nodding,
“yes please.”
he pulled away but kept a hand on your head and moved it down to the back of your neck, bringing his thumb around to stroke your cheek
squeezing with only a bit of pressure, he quietly grunted
“ugh i just love you so much”, he mumbled with feigned irritation
you let out a small laugh and grabbed his wrist to pull him toward the chairs he had previously made himself comfortable in,
“come on im starving”
he looked at you with raw adoration in his eyes, 
“alright baby let’s go.”
