also no more outing myself directly to my friends, you will find out about pronoun and name change through the wonders of instagram stories where you talk abt yourself /hj
#I mean ... I love my friends I really do. but they're cis and ... idk sometimes you can tell#like not transphobic (obviously otherwise they wouldnt be my friends) but just ... cis#never had any doubts about their gender identity. they feel perfectly fine in this little label and never had any doubts#and that is great for them!! Genuinely!! but I also know that none of my gender feelings will make sense to them#I have tried trust me. they are supportive but also ... just confused and lost#bringing the questioning up to them feels like they expect you to have an answer or to help you discover the answer with simple quetsions#that you yourself had asked yourself a thousand times with no clear answer and they somehow expect it to work this time#I know they mean well!! I love that they're trying but also ... it usually just ends up making me feel frustrated and them slightly frustra#frustrated bcs it feels like I am being uncooperative when all they are trying to do is help#so yeah idk how to bring it up#bcs Idk what I am#I just know I don't like being refered to as a girl#I am either indifferent by it as in 'not really but also not really NOT so I guess that works fine' or 'I mentally recoiled'#which is ... not really clear#I might be vaguely ''girl shaped'' on some days#and on some days I am not#but that does not really explain what I am does it#am I male? idk I feel like maybe sometimes I am vaguely ''male shaped'' more so than girl shaped atm I think#but in the end it's always something else entirely I think. it might briefly resemble it but never for long and never entirely#yes I have been debating if 15 y/o me had it all down when they said 'biromantic-asexual genderfluid'#bcs ... yeah I've come to notice ace was actually pretty correct I am definitely somewhere on that spectrum#I am ... very unhorny and genuinely came to realize I do not find people 'hot'. I find them aesthetically nice to look at and that's it#bi ... yeah I had a few phases of doubts but by now I really can't deny that anymore#so 15 y/o me MIGHT HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN RIGHT ABT IT ALL#but I am not sure yet#and until I'm sure I'll ... just not say anything bcs I know it'll just end with confusion and awkwardness

Outside of the fox
Part 15 of ? 2816 words
Y/N longs for a new life when the one she'd been living comes to an abrupt stop. Without much thought to those she is leaving behind, the little fox packs a backpack and disappears. She stumbles across the shelter and makes an interim home for herself while she works out exactly what she wants from her second chance.
Last
"So the good news is we won't require surgery to reset the break, but that cast is going to need to stay on for a couple of months." Jin says, gesturing to a barely comprehensible X-ray.
Namjoon nods, taking a close look at the break presented to you all. Jungkook cuddles in close to Jimin's uninjured side and scents him gently.
"So are we okay to go home today?" Yoongi asks. "Don't want to miss out on the holiday if we can help it."
"Yes, absolutely, I've just got a bit more paperwork to follow up on and we need to set a date for a review of the damage but then you folks are free to go back to your holiday merriment, although might I suggest no more tree climbing?" Jin answers.
"Of course Doctor, thank you so much." Namjoon shakes the man's hand. "Right, I don't think we all need to be here for discharge, a couple of us should head back in the first car."
"I'll take Hobi and Taehyung back to the house. Y/N do you want to come with us?" Yoongi suggests.
"With Jimin an arm down I think I'll need to drive won't I? If you're taking Tae?"
Taehyung had driven the second car originally, the main pack in one car, friends and associates in the other."
"Sure, that makes sense. We will meet you back at the hovel." Yoongi grabs his jacket.
He pulls the keys from the pocket and signals for the other two men to follow him out of the room. Obediently they get up and mutter 'See you soon's as they exit. Doctor Jin produces a form for Jimin to sign, which he does, shakily with his non-dominant hand.
"Okay Jimin, I want to see you in two months, is there a better day for you?" Jin asks
"No work is pretty amenable, whatever works best for you." the red panda responds, already gathering his items, eager to leave the hospital.
"Wonderful, in which case we will see you on February 23rd at 2:00 pm." Jin hands over a small appointment slip to Namjoon.
Immediately the bear hands the paper off to Jungkook, a practised manoeuvre knowing he would likely lose such a small item easily.
Each of you says your goodbyes and make your way towards the door but Jungkook lingers fidgeting back and forth on his feet.
"Is everything okay Jungkook?" Jin inquires.
The bunny chews at his lip, clearly nervous. Like he is debating whether he should say what he really wants to.
"Bun?" Namjoon prods.
"Aaaa...re you really going to spend tomorrow... alone?" Jungkook asks.
"That's my plan Jungkook, yes. But don't feel sorry for me. I'm quite used to spending time by myself for holidays." The doctor reassures him.
But the statement seems to only distress Jungkook further. He whines lowly at the thought of the doctor having to be alone. He looks between you, Namjoon, and Jimin trying to hint at the idea forming in his head, however, none of you seems to be on the same wavelength as him today. He waits to see if any of you catch up with him, to no avail. Eventually, he just leans into Namjoon's side and whispers in his ear.
The bear's mouth makes a small 'o' shape as he finally catches on. Jungkook's ears have gone bright red and he turns his face into the crook of Namjoon's shoulder in order to hide from view.
"Doctor, it would seem our youngest packmate would like to invite you to our winter solstice activities tomorrow." Namjoon explains.
"That would be lovely, but I couldn't intrude on your family's day like that."
"That's okay, we have lots of outsiders this year!" Jimin provides.
It's obvious he is trying to be encouraging, but the word outsiders hits you like ice running down your spine. Because no matter how much you like being around the family and how much they claim to like you around, 'outsiders' includes you.
"But it's so short notice, I wouldn't want to take away from what you've already prepared for yourselves." the doctor refuses politely again.
You can hear Jungkook growling a little into Namjoon's collar but it's not clear if Jin can hear it yet.
"We insist doctor, please join us." Namjoon strokes Jungkook's back to calm him.
"I suppose I could drop by if you really do insist."
Namjoon writes down your address on the back of an appointment card along with a rough time for when dinner is planned and finally, you leave the hospital. The drive back to the house is quiet. Jungkook is asleep on one side of Namjoon in the back seat, and Jimin is staring happily out of the window at the scenery from the passenger seat.
It's late when you pull into the driveway. Jungkook runs ahead back to the house as Namjoon helps Jimin to clamber out of the car. They really are so well-entwined with one another. You can tell without looking that Yoongi is waiting at the door with Jungkook wrapped in his arms carefully watching his pack to make sure they are okay.
You turn off the engine and take a deep breath feeling the tiredness in your bones. All you want is to slip into bed and pass out but if you don't get the smell of the hospital out of your hair you'll never be able to settle.
Yoongi waits for you to trail in behind the others before locking the door and checking the latch is secured. He leans over instinctively to scent you as you walk past surprising you a little, it's not something he has ever done before. If he notices you flinch a little he doesn't mention it and neither do you.
You hand the keys on the hook and traipse up the stairs into your room only to be met with a nearly nude Taehyung. Water drips from his hair as the precariously balanced towel around his hips threatens to fall when he moves.
"Sorry, I thought I might have a little more time to get dressed." He supplies.
"That's okay, I'm going for a shower anyway, I'll just grab my clothes and leave you to it."
"Dang, if I knew you were going to shower maybe I would've waited... could've saved some water." He winks
"How eco-friendly of you." You roll your eyes
"Very concerned for the environment me." He flashes you his widest smile.
You quickly grab your pj's and escape from the room that was suddenly stiflingly hot.
The water is not as warm as you would've liked but it still feels good washing the clinical smell down the drain and replacing it with soft florals.
You take your time to dry off, moisturizing correctly for maybe the first time in your life, hoping to come across a fully dressed Taehyung when you return this time.
The panda is tucked up in bed when you return, waiting for you so he can turn the lamp off. You bid each other good night and find sleep easily after the chaos of the day.
___________________
Everyone seems to sleep in the next morning Jimin being the last to emerge from his bedroom at 11 with half-brushed hair and lidded eyes. Jungkook had already told you all how difficult the redhead had found it to sleep with the pain and awkwardness of the cast. Yoongi set a full English breakfast in front of him and started fussing with the messy parts of his hair.
"Can we do presents now?" Hobi asks.
The human is as excited as a child about the prospect of starting today's festivities. He has been bouncing off the walls since nine waiting for everyone to wake up so they could start. Evidently his family never really celebrated the holiday.
"Let Jimin eat first Jagiya," Yoongi says affectionately, reaching out to cup Hobi's face.
He pouts but does as he is told, busying himself by taking hold of Yoongi's outstretched and playing with the fingers.
Jimin makes quick work of the food, looking forward to having enough food in his stomach to be able to take his next painkiller. Taehyung swipes up the plate as soon as it's empty and washes it before anyone can protest.
"Alright, who is opening presents first?" The panda asks as he flicks the water off his hands.
You move into the lounge, a tight fit for the seven of you but you make it work. Hobi squishes next to Yoongi on an armchair. Jimin and Namjoon naturally gravitate to either side of Jungkook and Taehyung sits on the floor closest to the presents. You slot yourself in across from Tae to complete the circle and then he hands out presents.
You decide it best to open all of your presents at the same time to save the embarrassment of having everyone watching each other react.
Each present was clearly well thought out and matched personalities well. Obviously, some were a little generic like Taehyung's for example, but they were thoughtful nonetheless. Jimin bought you a book you had been talking about, and Jungkook had made you a painting of his favourite spot in the backyard. Yoongi bought you a gift card to the restaurant you had both visited the other day. And Namjoon bought you a new stationary set that he said reminded him of you, something about the purple colour reminding him of your lavender scent. Hobi bought everyone a matching sweater.
Taehyung's gift surprised you. It was a bottle of your favourite perfume, and expensive bottle that you had decided you couldn't leave behind in your old life. A bottle that was getting dangerously close to empty but there was no way Tae could've known that when he bought the present. You look up to see him already looking at you.
"It's the correct one yeah? If it's not we can return it and purchase the right. It's the one you were wearing the first day we met." He says as if he hadn't just spent £100 on you.
You nod and glance down at the bottle, an inscription that you had missed is etched into the silver ring.
'To my favourite fox."
You don't notice the jealous looks around the room as the boys abandon their openings to look at the ornate bottle in your hands.
"Don't look so sour boys, you haven't opened my presents to you yet." Taehyung gestures to the boxes in front of them.
The men around the room shake off their jealousy long enough to tear the wrapping paper from each gift. Each man is met with a matching bottle a cologne that compliments each other one in the room.
"I hope I guessed right, I was going off descriptions of each of your personalities supplied by Y/N. She talks about you guys a lot you know? It feels like I've known you forever."
"Taehyung this is very sweet but it's too much." Namjoon states, getting ready to wrap the bottle back up.
"Of course it's not too much. Courting gifts should be extravagant and meaningful shouldn't they?" Taehyung says matter of factly as if everyone had missed the very obvious point.
Each established member of the pack looked at one another confused, while you just blinked owlishly at your coworker.
"Typically extravagant isn't a necessary criterion," Yoongi stated, not sure what else to say.
The jackal turned the expensive bottle in his hands, finding the engraving on his own bottle.
'To the fierce protector, I wish to put at ease.' Was inscribed around the top of the bottle.
Each bottle had its own unique phrase.
"Tae, I don't want this to sound... ungrateful... but how did you afford this as a mail room boy?" You ask, setting the bottle gently to the side.
"Wait you think I'm the mail boy?" Taehyung tilts his head confused.
"Well? yeah. The only thing I see you do at work is deliver mail and talk to people." You shrug.
"That hilarious." Taehyung laughs until tears roll down his cheeks as the rest of you wait to be let in on the joke. "Y/N don't you think I would've been fired by now if I were just the mailboy? Like I'm a terrible employee"
"So what do you do then?" Jungkook asks him, sitting on the edge of his seat.
The bunny's fingers rub across his own perfume, tracing the letters absently.
'To the bunny I want to promise the world.'
"I own the company." He states as if it's no big deal. "Well my dad does, I will soon though."
You each glance between the bottles and him and then all the eyes in the room land on you.
"How could you not know that Y/N?" Hobi asks.
You shrug hoping to move the conversation back to the point.
"Did you say these were courting gifts?" You shift attention back to Taehyung.
"The first of many." He confirms
"You realise that's insane right?" Yoongi says. "We literally met you yesterday."
"Not true, we met two days ago." Taehyung points out as if that makes it any more normal.
Typically courting doesn't begin until you've known someone for at least a few weeks, maybe been on a date or two. For Taehyung to decide to court a stranger was beyond odd. To want to court 6 people that weren't already intrinsically linked? That was insanity.
The faces around the room showed a complete range of human emotions. Jimin looked thrilled with the prospect. Namjoon and Yoongi looked concerned, and Jungkook looked a little terrified. Hobi just sat there quiet and confused, barely having been opened up to the concept of courting Yoongi and now facing the potential of another man to court if not an entire pack.
"I'm sorry have I overstepped? We can just call them friendship presents if that puts you more at ease. It's just between the notes and what Y/N says about you, it felt as though I already knew you. And I know for a fact courting Y/N will be easier if I'm also courting the other men vying for her attention."
Taehyung is a very smart man. His decisions always seem to be uncalculated and messy but they always have solid reasoning behind them. Normally it's quite interesting to watch his solution to a majority of problems he encounters. Today however just left you flustered and perplexed.
The subject is dropped when there are three sharp raps on the front door.
"We should talk about this more, maybe after the holiday," Namjoon suggests rising from his seat.
Before the bear can even move for the door, Jungkook raced past him to reveal the stunning Dr. Jin standing on the porch.
The hospital lab coat does him no justice. He is wearing a simple maroon crew neck jumper, on anyone else it might look average, but on him he looked like an idol, golden complexion and broad shoulders only accentuating the look.
"I'm so glad you should make it doctor." Namjoon shakes the man's hand as he joins Jungkook at the door.
The doctor produces a carrier of wine and gives it to Joon.
"Thank you for the gracious invite. Please call me Jin though not Doctor."
"Of course Jin. Please make yourself comfortable, we were just tidying up before dinner."
The bear gives you all a look that has you all springing from your seats to rush to clean up the wrapping paper scattered across the floor. Yoongi leaves the mess with the three of you left in the living room and turns on all of the pots ready to finish making the lunchtime feast.

Notes:
I'm not going to apologise again for being MIA 😂. I am going to say I'm probably going to go MIA again. It is unintentional and I will always come back usually within two to four weeks. Hope everyone's having a good spring getting ready for a summer. I know I'm excited because it's only 8 more weeks of school and then I can fly to my home country (don't worry, I'm the teacher not the student)
So I've split this chapter in half because I was rambling on and I just wanted to get something out.
Also if you guys want to know the rest of inscriptions let me know and I can put them in the comments. I can't fit them in to the actual fic at the minute and they may never come up again honestly.
Like the only way I can organically think to fit the minute any point is if after this finishes I do either a breakup or a marriage one shot...

I DON'T WANT YOU LIKE A BEST FRIEND - MAT BARZAL X READER
Tumblr media
Word Count: 1.9 k
Warning: none
Summary: after Mat introduces you as his best friend and it affects you more than it should, you end up confessing your feelings for him

Add yourself to my taglist!
Tumblr media
His words hadn’t left your mind the whole night, they were on loop, replaying over and over in your brain. ‘This is Y/N, one of my best friends.’ That’s how Mat had introduced you when you arrived at his family’s friend’s wedding, to which he had invited you as he’s plus one.
You knew you and Mat were just friends, you have been for a long time, and it surely wasn’t the first time he introduced you like that. Maybe this time hit differently because you had just come to terms with the undeniable fact that you had fallen for your best friend, no matter how cliché that sounded.
You couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment when it happened. It just happened slowly without you even realizing. Suddenly seeing him hit on random girls at the bar made you feel sick. Suddenly his hand on your lower back guiding you through a crowded room felt different. Suddenly your name coming from his lips made the world stop. You didn’t know what turned the switch in your brain from platonic to romantic love and made you look at him with new eyes, but once you realized it there was no going back and the thought of Mat and you becoming something more was always there painfully present in the back of your head.
“Y/N?” you heard Mat call you, bringing you back to reality. You looked at him still a bit lost in your thoughts. ”Are you okay?” he asked with his eyes stuck on the windshield as he drove you home after the wedding had ended.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Why?”
“I don’t know. You’ve been a little off all night.” He noticed, he obviously did. Because he’s Mat, he’s your best friend, he’s one of the most attentive guys you know and he knows you better than you know yourself sometimes. So he obviously noticed, but that didn’t mean you couldn’t keep on pretending.
“I-I don’t know what you’re talking about.” you replied failing to sound as confident as you wanted to. Mat didn’t say anything and the car fell back into silence. 
You looked outside the window, trying to distract yourself and calm down. You weren’t far away from your place, in just a few minutes you’d be in your apartment. Mat had noticed something but he didn’t know what it was, so you could send him a text explaining you had a headache or something to get him off your back and just move on.
At least that was the plan but then Mat turned off the car and got out of it with you. You thought he was walking you to the building door like he had done many times, nothing strange. However he walked into the building with you and got into the elevator.
That’s when you started to suspect something was happening. You looked over at him confused and he just smiled at you, like nothing was going on. So maybe he was just walking you to the door. You decided not to think too much into it because if you did your heart would start racing and would notice your nerves, the last thing you needed was to give him more reasons to believe something was going on.
As you opened the door Mat was quick to walk into your apartment and you watched him with furrowed brows as he took a seat on your couch, casually like there was nothing weird with it.
“Excuse me? Can I help you with something?” you asked, stepping in front of him.
“I know something’s up Y/N. You barely talked today and you didn’t cry, I’ve seen you cry at stupid commercials and you didn’t cry at a wedding.”
You rolled your eyes walking away from him because you knew you couldn’t lie to his face, he’d notice. “I’m fine Mat I promised I just had a headache.”
“No you didn’t. When you have a headache you massage your head and you get sleepy, that’s not what happened today. It’s more like you were gone.” You hated how much he knew you, it would be harder to convince him but that didn’t mean you wouldn’t try.
“Well I’m sorry I don’t always have the same gestures Sherlock.” you replied, irritation was clear in your tone. Mat let out a deep sigh and got up. It wasn’t his intention to argue and he could see you were getting mad, he just wanted to know what was going on.
“Y/N I know you-” he started to say as he approached you but you were tired of hearing that speech.
“Can we not do this right now? I’m tired Mat, I just wanna go to bed.” you said with a defeated look, lowering your town. He looked at you for a minute and decided to push his stubbornness aside. He knew he was right, he’d bet a million dollars on it, but he also knew you were exhausted, he could see it in your face.
Mat walked till he was in front of you, inches away, and suddenly wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into his chest. He held you tight as one hand went up to your hair to stroke it. You were surprised at first but then he felt you relax in his embrace. He placed a kiss on top of your head as he balanced slightly from one side to the other, keeping his face buried in your hair.
“You don’t have to tell me what’s going on okay? Because I know something happened, don’t even try to pretend it didn’t. I just wanna know if it’s something I did, that’s all I need to know because I can’t leave you here alone knowing I may have done something to upset you.”
His voice was soft as he spoke against you. Tears started to build up in your eyes and you tried to push them away as you debated what your next move would be.
If you told him it wasn’t about him he'd leave and you could move on pretending nothing happened and dealing with your unresolved feelings. If you told him the truth you didn’t know what would happen. However you knew that regardless of how he felt about you he’d be nice to you. The man was hugging you tight about his chest, refusing you to leave until you told him it wasn’t his fault because he wouldn’t be able to live with himself knowing he did anything to hurt you.
Maybe it was the wine you had drank. Maybe it was because you were emotionally exhausted and unable to think clearly. Or maybe because you were tired of pretending. You didn’t know the reason why you decided to be honest and tell him how you truly felt, but you did that.
“You introduced me as your best friend today, that’s why I was off the whole day, I just kept thinking about it.” you mumbled against his chest, breaking the silence.
“Did you want me to introduce you differently?” He pulled away a little to be able to look you in the face, but his arms were still around you.
“Yes- I mean no. I-” You stumbled on your words, trying to find the right way to explain everything. “What you did was fine, I am your best friend, that’s right.”
“Then why did it upset you?” You rested your head face against his chest again, not having the courage to look him in the face as you confessed what you were about to confess.
“Cause I don't want you like a best friend Mat. I haven’t for a while now and I just don’t know how to deal with this. It’s not your fault, I don’t know what happened or when or how. I have these feelings for you and I guessed it hurt a bit to hear you calling me your best friend, even though that’s exactly what I am.”
After you spoke the room went silent again and you started panicking. You looked up at Mat who was already looking down at you and all you could see was shock. Suddenly your worst fear was real, you had screwed up your friendship with him. It was over. You felt the familiar knot in your throat and tears blurred your vision.
“Sorry ignore everything I said. Just forget it okay?” you said as you freed yourself from his embrace. Still no reaction whatsoever from him. “Shit. Shit. Shit. I feel so stupid.”
“Y/N.” he said, but you were too distracted pacing around the room and rambling to hear him.
“You know I even spent hours shopping for the perfect dress that would magically make you see me as more than your friend, do you know how stupid that sound? What am I? 15 years old?”
“Y/N listen-” he tried again but there was no getting to you, you were too lost in your own jabber. It was like once you started you couldn’t stop and you’d surely later regret all you were confessing.
“I’m an idiot. I really thought you could maybe by some miracle feel the same and-”
“Y/N!” he said now in a much louder tone so you would hear him and place his hands on your sides to stop you. You were surprised, not even realizing he had approached you at some point.
“Please stop.” he added now on a lower more tender tone, it almost sounded like a plea.
Now that you looked at him the initial shock had been replaced by something you couldn’t make out. His face was unreadable as he stated leaning in and before you could even question what was going on his lips were on yours.
You were surprised at first, eyes wide open not being to process what was going on. But once the initial shock was over you kissed him back. It’s embarrassing how many times you had thought what kissing him would be like, but it turned out to be even better than you could have imagined. His lips caressed yours gently, even a bit shily. Your hands met on the back of his neck and his slid down your sides to your waist, pulling you closer. 
Then a thought found its way into your brain.
“Wait.” you mumbled against his lips and he instantly pulled away. “I need to know you’re not doing this out of pity.”
He chuckled letting his head fall back before answering. “I’m doing this because I also don’t want you like a best friend. Because you do look amazing in that dress. Because I’ve wanted to kiss you for so long now. Because-” 
Your smile grew wider with every word and your cheeks turned red. You could tell he planned to keep on going, and you were surely going to ask him to tell you the rest later, but now there was only one thing you wanted.
“Ok, ok. I get it. We can go back to kissing now.” you said making him laugh, already tugging him closer by his neck and his laughs died in your lips.

Ticket Booth
Great. Just what she needed.
Amity being stood up on her blind date.
Again.
"This is just ridiculous." She sighs to herself, impatiently alternating between checking her phone and the watch on her wrist just to avoid human confrontation from any passersby on the street.
I mean, is she surprised? Not really. Did she hope it would turn out different? Kinda
Not like this was the first time Ed and Em had set her up on another blind date. You should head out more! Meet new people, get a change of environment!
New people, my ass. If ever she gets a chance to meet these said new people, that is.
Amity checks her phone again with a big bright 8:10 PM, humiliating her at every passing second. Tick, tick, tick. There's that sound of that unnecessarily large wall clock hung in front of the movie theaters, more people arriving in front of the ticket booth, hands interlaced and smiles all warm and happy, and goddammit; her date was supposed to be here 10 minutes ago!
The wind's gotten colder, the theaters getting overcrowded, her feet hurt from standing too much, and in attempt to hide herself from the sad, despicable, cynical reality of it all, she huddles herself inside her massive winter cloak, tendrils of bubblegum hair sticking out from the side of her hoodie.
Why God, why did she agree to go to this?!
"Are you waiting for someone?"
Snapping out of her thoughts, Amity whips her attention towards the (cute) lady behind the ticket booth. Not one for initiating conversations, she coughs to suppress her shyness and answers, "Uh y-yeah. I have a um, a date. I'm waiting for them."
The lady behind the ticket booth smiles this really cute smile of hers and suddenly Amity has forgotten her name altogether. "You know, I don't wanna sound rude or anything, but the movie starts at exactly 8:15. And I don't think you'll be able to see it if you're gonna be out here, freezing in the cold."
She laughs tucking a hair behind her ear. "Yeah well, this isn't my first time being stood up so I guess I'm used to it at this point."
"Wait, you're being stood up?"
Stupid, stupid, stupid. Now she thinks you're some hopeless romantic.
Shaking her head frantically, she manages to salvage herself from this stranger that she has a sudden urge to impress all of a sudden. "W-What? No! I meant my date was um busy and they texted me too late, so I guess I am kinda freezing my ass off outside the movie theater. But not because I was waiting for them the entire evening! I-I have better things to do than um..."
Being stood up by my blind date who hasn't even met me! Crap, maybe I am the problem?
"Better things to do like stand outside in the freezing cold?"
Her eyes dart towards the ticket lady who no doubt is feeling sympathetic for her pathetic ass and as she does, there's still that smile of hers etched on her face, looking down at her with some sympathy but she doesn't mind, she likes how she's looking at her. Had she already mentioned she thought she was cute?
"O-Or that." Amity answers pathetically, chuckling at the absurdity of it all.
"Tell you what," The lady in the booth begins. "Maybe I can refund you for the tickets? I won't tell my boss or anything, they'll be fine with it."
Ticket lady was being awfully nice to her, which was strange because most strangers usually had a fight or flight response whenever they saw Amity talking to them, probably because of her intimidating aura, which she doesn't really blame them for. This cute ticket lady on the other hand, was a whole different story.
"Oh no, my sister's already paid for the tickets online, plus I don't think these two tickets are refundable so um, I guess I'll just have to watch this movie alone or maybe sell my ticket to someone who actually has a date." She giggles again, internally sorry for her own situation.
The cute ticket lady pauses for a second, attention a bit distant and elbows perched above her desk. Amity debates with herself whether or not she should just say fuck it and watch the movies alone, at least until ticket lady finally looks up and meets her eye to eye. And woah, she never knew eyes could look that brown.
"Hey, how about I watch it with ya?"
... What?
"What?" She parrots her thoughts. I'm sorry did she hear that right?
The lady smiles even wider, eyes pinched from the apples of her cheeks and a smile so bright, it could rival the stars above them. "You heard me. I wanna watch it with you!"
"You wanna... watch it with me?"
" 'Course I would. That is, if you'll allow me? I promise I'll pay for the tickets, I'm not scamming you or something."
"Oh um, can I ask why?"
The lady laughs again, oblivious to the damage she's been doing to Amity's poor stomach. Butterflies seemed like a stupid analogy, it was like the entire zoo came in to visit. "I can't let a pretty girl walk inside that movie theater all alone. There might be some serial killers inside there."
Oh.
Well, this turned out to be the best possible scenario she could come up with.
Pretty girl? Her?
This night just keeps getting better and better.
Feeling uncharacteristically playful, she refutes back, cheeks ablaze by the little compliment. "And how do I know that you're not a serial killer, plotting to bury my body?"
Her eyes are squinting from absolute mirth, clearly not expecting her to reply back. "I can prove to you that I am not, in fact, a serial killer by politely introducing myself. "Luz Noceda. College student by day, billionaire philanthropist by night."
"By billionaire philanthropist, do you mean ticket booth manager? Because I think both are equally badass."
Luz shrugs, unfazed. "Eh, its hard living the double life. I have to keep my identity hidden so no one assassinates me in broad daylight."
Simultaneously, they both laugh at their dumb topic, and Amity has never felt this alight with another person before. Her chest feels tighter, her cheeks hurt from smiling so much and she thinks that maybe, just maybe, this night might not be as bad as she initially thought it would be.
"So, have I proven myself worthy? Can I watch it with you?" Luz is practically bouncing on her feet, tail wagging like a retriever waiting for her treat. She looks so damn adorable behind the ticket booth that Amity's heart threatens to jump out of her throat and melt right in front of her.
So what if a cute girl wants to watch a movie with you? Big deal! It's not like she's asking for your hand in marriage. It's not like it's a date or anything.
Oh God, is it a date?! Oh no, no, no. What has she gotten herself into?!
What if she says yes and embarrasses herself right in front of her? They barely even know each other! They don't know each other at all! What if this really, really cute girl doesn't actually like her and is just doing this out of pity and turns out they'll never see each other again, and, and—
"Hey, earth to bubblegum, I'm still here. In case, you forgot. I don't wanna be all rude or anything—"
"N-No!" Amity cuts her off so quickly, she's on the verge of a panic attack. "You can watch it with me! We can watch it t-together! I'd l-love to!"
Smooth move Blight, smooth move.
Her words seemed to be enough to calm Luz down and she feels like she has God to personally thank for for that beautiful smile of hers. Honestly, how can one smile like that? It's that type of smile that could brighten an entire room or the physical embodiment of joy, youth and everything else good in the world.
"Wait, but what about the ticket booth? Are you allowed to leave it alone?" Concerned, Amity asks Luz as she walks out of the booth.
"Nah, Eda won't mind. I think. I-I'll be back before she even notices I'm gone. Won't be a problem! Hopefully." Taking off her cap, Luz locks the door behind her, tucking the key safely in her pocket. She looks back at Amity, eyes gleaming from the adventure of it all. Eyes that remind her of chestnut and coffee on a cold, serene morn. And a low, pixie cut to tie it all together.
Luz hands out her palm, anticipation and adrenaline coursing through her, she's smiling that sunny smile of hers again, cheeks flushed and hair a mess from the stuffy cap and Amity thinks to herself again that wow, she really is cute.
"You ready?"
Two words, two simple words from a stranger she's never even met before. What would Ed and Em think if they saw her right now, watching movies with a random girl she doesn't even know? Her instincts are telling her to go, leave, maybe find another night to watch the movies, you can pay for the tickets another day, you barely even know this person!
But when Amity finally looks up from her hand to those chestnut eyes and that smile of pure unabashed warmth, she's made her decision.
She's positive that her cheeks are the brightest shade of red, practically glowing under the cheap porch light, but if she squints, just enough, the same shade of red are on Luz's cheeks too, flushed and cherry red, just as she was. Nervous albeit excited, just as she was.
"I thought you'd never ask."

Summary: Y/N wants a small wedding. Tony and her find out the gender of their baby. Steve and Y/N go for lunch. (Read note and the end of the chapter.)
Tumblr media
“I want our wedding to be small,” Y/N stated randomly a few days after the proposal. She was currently sitting in Tony’s new workshop, watching him set things up. 
“Okay, honey,” Tony responded, not really hearing everything. 
“Like, really small.”
“Whatever you want, you know that.”
“Like only me, you, and whoever’s marrying us.”
Tony looked at Y/N. “What if I already told both Rhodey and Happy they could be my best men? And invited Pepper?”
“Really, Tony? I just… I think it would be easier, for me, if it was just us.”
Tony dropped what he was doing and turned so that he was giving Y/N his full attention. “May I ask why?”
“I just… this wedding… I… it’s stupid. Never mind.”
“No, no, no, no, no.” Tony rolled his chair so that the was right in front of Y/N, and took hold o her heads. “You tell me and I’ll do whatever I can to help you.”
Y/N inhaled and exhaled shakily as Tony rubbed his thumbs over her hands. “I… I have no one to walk me down the aisle.”
“Oh, honey.” He reached up with one hand and cupped her cheek. She leaned into it. “I didn’t think about that.”
“I know that Steve’s still alive, but… I’m not ready for that yet. He didn’t trust me… and he—“ Y/N’s voice broke as she got emotional, “—he hasn’t for a long time. He’s also never liked the idea of me and you. So why would Steve even be willing to walk me down the aisle? And if he won’t, who will?”
Tony pulled Y/N onto her lap with a sigh. “If it makes you feel better, none of my family would be there either.”
Y/N buried her head in her hands. “Oh my gosh, I’m being so selfish. At least I have a family member still alive.”
“You are not being selfish, you’re being realistic.” He pressed a kiss to her head before gently guiding her hands away form her face. “How about… well, you know I really don’t like your brother right now either, but why don’t you try and ask him to walk you down the aisle? I think it would be good for the two of you, healing in a way. Maybe even tell him about the baby.”
“I’m not telling anyone until the second trimester.”
“Then wait until then. Meet him somewhere for lunch—“
“If there’s still a place open.”
“—and tell him.”
“I’m just… scared.”
“I know, honey. But I’m worried this will do you and the baby more harm than good.”
“Okay… in a few weeks, I’ll reach out.”
“That’s my girl.” He kissed her softly.
“I don’t want to be fat in our wedding pictures,” Y/N blurted out, pulling away from the kiss. 
Tony chuckled. “Then we’ll get married after the baby is born. We’ll wait until the baby is old enough and we can get Happy and Pepper to take care of it.”
“Why are you so good to me?”
“Maybe cause you’re so good to me.”
~~~
Week 10 started with the “pregnancy glow” and Tony constantly commenting on how big Y/N’s breasts were getting. 
Week 11, her growing baby bump was causing aches and cramping. At one point, Tony found Y/N curled up on the floor, crying. He felt terrible that she was going through this. Tony carefully lifted her up, tucking her into bed, and spent the day cuddling her. 
Week 12, the nausea was basically gone, making the couple happy. 
Week 13 was full of dizziness. Y/N was struggling to stand up or stay standing by herself. This caused Tony to order her to bed rest, over-dramatically.
Week 14 came and it was the start of the second trimester. The doctor came over to check on both mother and baby, as well as reveal the gender. Y/N was hesitant to know the gender, wanting it to be a surprise. But Tony was an impatient child who was going to end up getting his way, legally or otherwise.
“Okay,” the doctor hummed, beginning the ultrasound. “We have ten toes, a strong heart beat, ten fingers.” Tony held onto Y/N’s hand tighter as he watched the screen intently. “Are you sure you’re ready to know the gender.”
“Yes!” / “No.”
“Come on, honey,” Tony begged. “I just want to know so we can start decorating and picking out names. Please?”
Unfortunately, Tony’s big brown eyes were hard to say no to. Y/N was going to be totally screwed if their child ended up with his eyes, but at least Tony would then get a taste of his own medicine.
“Fine,” she conceded.
“Yay!” Tony celebrated, giving her a kiss. “Now, doc, what is it?”
“Congratulations, it’s a girl,” the doctor told them with a smile.
“Yes!” Tony cheered. “I knew it!”
“You knew it?” Y/N questioned.
“I told you, I had a dream about it. So real. And we named her Morgan.”
“So I’m guessing any other names are off the table because you had a dream about it?”
“Like I said, it was so real.”
“I’ll have to think about it. While I do, can you go grab me a water, I’m dying of thirst.”
“Of course.” Tony kissed her templed before rushing off.
“Doc,” Y/N turned her attention to the doctor, “is it… this is so awkward but, is it okay to have sex? Even while being pregnant?”
“It’s completely safe,” the doctor chuckled slightly. “I’m guessing your sex drive as gotten a boost this week?”
“You have no idea. Literally anything Tony does makes me want horny. I was just scared—“
“Every new parent is. But you’re fine. The baby is well protected and higher up than you think.”
“So it won’t, like mess anything up?”
“Nope, you’re completely fine. I say enjoy it while it lasts, because it won’t last very long.”
“Thank you so much.”
~~~
That night, Tony was getting ready for bed while Y/N laid down, watching him. 
“Tony?” She called.
“Yes, dear?” He responded, looking her way.
“The doctor said it was okay to have sex.”
Tony choked a little. “Wh-what? You asked them that?”
“Well, lately, my sex drive has started to kick up and everything you do makes me horny.”
“Everything I do, huh?” He wiggled his brows. 
“So, please, help me?”
He came over and placed a seductive kiss on her lips. “I will always help you,” he whispered.
~~~
Week 15 came with extra clumsiness and a dreaded phone call. Tony was out getting groceries as Y/N at there, staring at her phone. She needed to call Steve and tell him everything. Things either needed to start getting better or they needed to fall apart once and for all. After taking a deep breath, Y/N finally pressed call and held the ringing phone to her ear. She felt like it had rung for hours before she finally heard Steve’s voice.
“Y/N?” He wondered, clearly confused. “Are you okay? Is something wrong?”
“I’m fine, Steve. I was just calling to see if you would like to meet up for lunch soon?” Y/N said, trying to remain calm. “We need to talk.”
She heard him sigh. “Yeah, I suppose we do. I’m free tomorrow. I know a place in the city that’s open. I’ll text you the address. Say we meet up around 1?”
“That sounds great. I’ll see you then.”
“Right. Okay. See you then.”
Y/N hung up and leaned back agains the couch, closing her eyes. She could do this, she had to do this.
~~~
Steve was nervous. So nervous, that he had arrived at the restaurant about an hour and a half before he was to meet Y/N. They had always had their differences, but he knew that the past couple of years had really driven a rift between the two. With him being the main reason for that. He was stuck in his own head when Y/N finally sat across from him.
“Steve,” she greeted, not giving anything away.
“Y/N,” he responded, with a small smile. “How have you been?”
“I’ve be fine. You?”
“Same.”
Before the conversation could actually go anywhere, the server came up and they ordered. Steve was a bit surprised at how much Y/N had ordered. 
“You hungry?” He tried to joke after the server left.
“Well it’s really hard not to be when you’re eating for two,” Y/N responded.
“W-wh-what? Eating for… t-two?”
“I’m pregnant, Steve.”
“Wha—how? I-I-I mean, who’s is it?”
“Really, Steve? Guess.”
“Well from what I was told you were seeing both Bucky and Stark. So I really—“
“It’s Tony’s. I… while I was dating both of them, I had rules. Like no sex.”
“And so Bucky dies and you break that rule?”
“Really, Steve? You know what?” She shook her head, pushing herself to stand up. “I don’t know why I let Tony talk me into doing this. I don’t need you there at the wedding. I can—“
“Hold up, Y/N, sit down. I’m sorry. I was just… I haven’t been good with my emotions for a very long time. Can you just sit back down, so we can talk about this?”
“Fine,” Y/N huffed.
“Before I get into anything more, I just want to make sure that I heard you correct. Did you say something about a wedding?”
“Tony and I are getting married.”
“That’s… that’s… good. You both deserve some happiness.”
“Thanks. We’re going to get married after the baby arrives.”
“Smart.”
“And I was… I was hoping that you might walk me down the aisle. And before you say anything, I realize that you, and Tony and I don’t have the best relationship, but I have no family. Only you.”
“I… I’d be honored too. But are you sure Tony wants me there? That you want me there?”
“You’re my twin and my only living relative, of course I want you there. But only if you want to be there. And, Tony just wants me to be happy. That’s all he’s ever wanted.”
“I’d love to walk you down the aisle. On one condition.”
“What is it?”
“You tell me the baby’s gender.”
“It’s a girl.” Y/N smiled, rubbing her belly. “Her name is Morgan.”
“Morgan. I like it. Are you planning to give her a middle name?”
“Currently that’s up for debate. I like Sarah or Maria, but Tony’s insisting on Howard.”
“Howard?”
“Yeah, I know. He’ll probably end up getting his way. Just can’t let him know that yet.”
Y/N and Steve sat at the table, talking and laughing, for a few hours. It was nice, good, different. Especially after all that had happened. Steve walked Y/N to her car.
“Can we do this more often?” Steve asked, a little nervous. “I’ve missed this, missed us.”
“I’d like that,” Y/N responded. She hugged Steve. “I love you, Steve.”
“Love you too.”
~~~
“Hey,” Tony greeted as Y/N entered his workshop. “How was lunch?”
“It was good,” she responded, leaning in for a kiss. “Of course, not everything is fixed and we still have a long way to go before we ever get back to where we once were.”
“You’re welcome,” Tony smirked, giving her another kiss. “Do you want to see what I’ve done for Morgan’s room today?”
“I think you’re nesting more than I am.”
“Probably right. I just want everything to be perfect and ready for our little girl.”
“And, knowing you, nothing with be. There’s always going to be something that needs fixing or updating.”
“How lucky am I to have a woman that knows me so well?”
“Extremely.”
~~~
Week 16, Y/N began experiencing her skin darkening around her nipples, inner thigh, armpits, and navel. She grew concerned but luckily Tony had already read all about it and told her that there was nothing to worry about. This week she also began to wedding plan. Nothing big, just looking at dresses and flowers and cakes. Steve and her had also began texting back and forth, as had her and Nat.
Week 17 was full of backaches and pregnancy brain. Tony couldn’t help but laugh at the pregnancy brain, though was immediately there to help soothe the backaches.
It was now the beginning was week 18, and Y/N felt like her boobs were huge. Tony enjoyed it, which led to them having sex a few times. They had just finished showering. Tony was getting dressed after helping Y/N do so, as Y/N laid in bed. Her hand was on her stomach when she suddenly she felt this uncomfortable pressure. She groaned.
“You okay, honey?” Tony asked, slightly concerned.
“Yeah, I’m fine,” Y/N responded. “I’m sure it’s—ugh.”
Tony was quickly by her side. “What is it?”
“There’s these pressure.” She rubbed her stomach. “It’s coming and going and—ah!”
“Maybe I should call the doctor.”
“No, no, I think I’ll—ah!”
“Yep, calling the doctor. Unless…”
“Unless what, Tony?”
“Hang on.” 
Tony pushed Y/N’s shirt up, revealing her growing bump, and rested his hands on it. The pressure happened again. Y/N winced.
“There is it again,” she said through clenched teeth. Tony couldn’t help but break out into giddy laughter. “What are you laughing at?”
“She’s kicking,” Tony responded with a large grin. “Morgan’s kicking.”
“What?” There is was again.
“Hey there, Morguna, I can feel you,” Tony leaned in and spoke to the baby. “Be kinder on your momma, will ya?”
“She’s kicking,” Y/N repeated softly. “She’s kicking.”
“Yeah she is. And I can already tell she’s a fighter, just like her parents.”
~~~
Week 19 was full of heartburn and constipation. Steve and Y/N also met up for lunch, slowly making amends.
Week 20, Morgan was restless. Kicking up a storm. Y/N was getting little sleep. It wasn’t helping that she also had leg cramps and swelling int he hands and feet.  The only time Morgan would calm down was when Tony was talking to her. But Y/N couldn’t wake Tony all the time, that just wasn’t fair. So Tony, ever the clever Tony, recorded himself telling stories and singing songs to play so that they could get sleep. Still wasn’t helping Y/N all that much, but it was at least calming Morgan down.
Week 21 was almost just as restless as the previous and added shortness of breath. Tony was extremely worried about that. Luckily the doctor was already planning on coming by. The doctor said that it was normal and that Y/N just needed to take it real easy. The doctor also told them that Morgan was looking very healthy, which put the parents at ease.
“She’s going to look just like you,” Y/N told Tony one night as he was rubbing her belly and talking to Morgan. “I know it.”
“You don’t want her looking like me,” Tony chuckled with a shake of his head. “Besides, she’s going to be beautiful, just like her mother.” Tony got quiet and solemn looking. “Do you think I’ll be like my father?”
Y/N knew this question was going to come up eventually. She was just hoping it would be later. “I knew knew Howard as a father. I just knew him as a good man. And I’ve always felt bad about how he treated you, that you didn’t know the man I did. But, Tony,” she cupped his face and made eye contact with him, “you are not your father. And you have learned from him. You will be the greatest father for our child.”
“You think so?”
“I know so. I would have never let this continue on if I didn’t.”
“I’m so lucky to have you by my side.”
“I know."
next chapter >
I leave for Disney World in a week. It is the last big family vacation that I will be on for a while.Because of that, I will not be on tumblr March 19th through March 24th. I will actually be deleting the app so that it’s not a distraction.
Most likely, nothing will be posted during that time. If something is, it will have been queued up. Things that are posted while I’m out of town will not have tag lists attached. I will put this note in all the fic posts until then. 
So do not come at me for spending time with my family instead of including the tag list. (I say that knowing that people won’t care and still come at me.... be respectful and get over yourself.)
And in case you didn’t read the note at the end of the last chapter, I will be doing two endings (Tony’s Ending and Bucky’s Ending).
If you want to be added to the tag list, please dm me or send in an ask.

This X-Mas (Spooky X Reader)
“'Cause this Christmas, will be the Greatest time of your life from me I ain't asking for the diamond rings I ain't really got a list of expensive things I just want you to myself while the children sleeps Santa baby, would you make a little time for me?” - Chris Brown feat. Ella Mai
A/N: hey y’all! I know I kinda abandoned you but being in College during a panoramic (Twitter joke) but I finished! I graduated undergrad so it’s lit! Even tho I don’t really care for Christmas or the holidays and I dislike Christmas music, I love this song and since it’s been a while, I might as well give y’all a Christmas gift soooo Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁❤️
Tumblr media
************
You were not a fan of the holidays.
It’s not like you never were. You used to be but as you grew up, you grew a disdain for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years', all that.
The most wonderful time of the year, your ass.
From November 1st up until January 2nd, every year, you were annoyed and couldn’t wait for this time of the year to be over. You didn’t like it and if you had to hear “All I Want from Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey one more fucking time, someone was gonna get kicked where they’re more jolly.
You were relaxing on the couch when you heard a knock on your apartment door. You announced you were coming and opened the door to 3 boys by the names of Cesar, Jamal, and Ruby.
“Hey, boys! What brings-“
“BATHROOM!” Jamal ran past you and straight to the bathroom, shutting the door behind him. Ruby shook his head and Cesar gave a nervous laugh.
“Would you believe we were just in the neighborhood?”
You pursed your lips. “Nope.”
Ruby sighed out of frustration. “We need help getting Christmas gifts for our.....” He swallowed hard. You closed your eyes.
“You’re still struggling to call Jasmine your girlfriend?”
“SHE’S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!”
“Yeah yeah yeah.” You waved him off and right then, Jamal stepped out the bathroom, relieved.
“Whew, my bladder was full! Where you get that hand soap, Y/N?! Smells lovely!”
You rolled your eyes, irritated. “At Bath and Body Works where y’all should get gifts for your girlfriends.” You narrowed your eyes at Ruby, who shuddered at the G-word. “Now if you excuse me, I was enjoying my alone time.”
Cesar stopped the door from closing. “Wait. Didn’t you say you were leaving today to go spend Christmas with your family?”
Shit. “Uh yeah. Duh. I needed alone time before I left.”
“I don’t see any bags packed.” Ruby indicated, skeptical.
“Or an airline ticket on the desk. Yeah, I noticed!” Jamal added, folding his arms.
You looked at the 3 teenage boys who were waiting for you to confess. You sighed deeply, knowing the jig is up.
“Fine, 3 wise men!” You stated with a tone dripping in sarcasm. “I’m not going home. I never was going home. The reason why is because I don’t care for the holidays. I stopped a long time ago. It’s never been special to me. Also, I don’t have a close-knit family. Actually, we’re dysfunctional as hell. This isn’t the most wonderful time of the year for me. I lied so you guys wouldn’t know the truth, now are you happy?”
Jamal had a dismal expression on his face and pulled you to his chest. “Now I see what the Scrooge looks like as a black woman.”
You pushed him off and Cesar grabbed your wrist before you could hit him.
“Does Spooky know?”
You shook your head. “Nope and it’s gonna stay that way. I mean it, Cesar. Don’t say shit to your brother about this.”
Were you really depending on the little brother of your gang member friend that’s not really a friend but he’s kind of your boo to keep his mouth shut?
“Cesar told me you lied.” That was what Spooky said when you opened the door the next morning which was Christmas. You sucked your teeth loudly, disappointed that your dumbass trusted a 15-year-old who feared his brother.
“I should really kick your brother’s ass.”
He smirked at your comment. “Talk to me, Mami. Why you not fucking with Christmas?”
You left the door, letting him outside and he closed the door behind him. “Because it’s annoying as hell.”
“Nah, that ain’t it.”
You turned to Spooky with your arms folded. “Why do you even care, Oscar? It’s not like your thug ass cares for holidays and shit.”
Spooky remained unfazed by your attitude and you calling him by his government. When you first met him, he would be pissed at that. Even tried scaring you but it didn’t work. Eventually, he got used to it and only allowed you to call him Oscar.
“You’re wrong and I’ll show you. Get dressed.”
You were feeling dangerous. “And what if I don’t?” You responded with a roll of the neck.
Spooky let a dry laugh that scared you yet turned you on at the same time. Damn. You started to bite your lip then pulled it back. He got dangerously close and stared you down.
“Do you really wanna know, Princesa?”
Yes. No. Shit.
You got out of his face and got dressed as you were told. You’ll let him win this round. You got into his car and he drove back to his house where Cesar and his girlfriend Monse were making a mess in the kitchen.
“Hey Y/N!” Monse greeted you. Cesar looked at you nervously.
“Hey Y/N, how’s-“
You held your hand up. “Save it, snitch!”
“He forced it out of me!” The young boy pleaded and you rolled your eyes in response.
“Whatever. What are y’all even doing?” You asked, confused and disgusted by the sight of the kitchen and glancing at Spooky’s face, he was not too pleased either.
“Trying to do a Christmas brunch but somebody doesn’t wanna listen to the instructions.” Monse gestured towards her boyfriend with a roll of her neck, causing Cesar to groan.
You couldn’t help but giggle at the two. “Alright lemme help so I can fix this. You!” You gestured towards Spooky. “You’re helping too!”
“Nahhhh cooking ain’t my thing.”
“Well Christmas ain’t my thing but I’m here. Now throw on an apron, cholo. You’re on bacon duty!”
You couldn’t lie. Making Christmas brunch with the kids was fun as hell. You found yourself smiling and giggling during the cooking and eating. You even caught Spooky staring at you a couple of times. You pecked his lips just because he looked so adorable but if you told him that, he’ll turn into a jackass. When the boys left to get something from God knows where you were left alone with Monse. You didn’t know too much about the girl but figured you could get to know her more.
“So Monse...you’re spending Christmas with your boyfriend.”
“So are you.”
Your eyes narrowed at her response. “1. Spooky is not my boyfriend and 2. I was forced here. Christmas is bullshit.”
“I love Christmas. Even though I don’t remember the last time I actually spent it with my dad.” Monse shrugged bending over and fix her shoelaces. That caught your attention.
“Wait, you’ve had shitty Christmases and you still love Christmas?!”
She shrugged again. “Well yeah. My dad is always away for Christmas and I don’t have my mom so I’ve always dreamt of doing Christmas stuff with the people I love. When I met the boys, not to sound corny but my dreams came true. Another reason why I need to keep the group together.”
You were lost for words. “Wow, I’m sorry, Monse.”
“It’s ok. Hey, I think I hear the boys coming back.”
The boys revealed themselves and Cesar announced that you guys were being invited to have Christmas dinner with Jamal’s family which was great because you didn’t want to cook.
“I’m telling you marmalade is better than jelly. I don’t wanna hear it!” Jamal declared during dinner. A debate broke out between marmalade and jelly which really entertained you. Jamal’s family was funny and so welcoming to you, a stranger. It felt weird to you that they were showing so much love to you, a stranger. Oscar held your hand throughout the whole dinner which did something to your stomach. You don’t wanna say butterflies. Maybe it’s gas.
When the group stopped by Ruby’s house to pick him up for “friendsmas”, his grandma pulled you aside with a serious look on her face.
“Open your heart, mama.”
You gave her a confused look. “What?”
“You closed your heart. Open it. Even if it’s to Papi Chulo over there. “ she gestured towards Oscar who was lighting up a cigarette and looked back at you. “Open it to Christmas. To any holiday. Just....open it.”
You kept that in mind as you went with the others back to the house for the kids to engage in their “friendsmas”.
“I’ve never heard “Friendsmas.” You muttered as Spooky handed you a glass of wine and you watched the kids from the doorway.
Oscar shrugged taking a swig of his Corona. “Well you hate Christmas so I’m not surprised.”
You elbowed him in his side and he began to laugh in response. “I don’t hate Christmas. I just never found joy in the holidays but now I do.” You looked at him and placed a soft kiss on his lips. “Thank you. Thank you for making this Christmas special for me.”
Oscar began to grin and pulled something from behind his back. “It’s not over yet, hyna.”
You gazed at the blue velvet rectangular box and opened it slowly to reveal a silver chain that said “Oscar” You looked up at him, speechless.
“Spooky, I....I.....”
“You don’t have to say anything. Just put on my necklace and be mine.” The gangsta in front of you took a deep breath. “I love you, Y/N.”
Your eyes were as big as saucers. “You....you do?”
“Yes, girl he do! It was so obvious!” Jasmine’s voice broke through the moment and everyone glared at her. Her mouth formed an O. “Oooh sorry! I forgot we were supposed to be acting like we weren’t paying attention. My bad!”
You shook your head and felt a surge of love and confidence. You loved this man. You have for a long time but never admitted it because...your heart was closed. Damn. Ruby’s crazy grandma ain’t so crazy after all.
“I love you too, Oscar.” You pulled him in for a long passionate kiss and the crew clapped in excitement.
“Girl put your back in it! You’re under the mistletoe!” Jasmine yelled again.
Ruby started. “Jasmine-“
“Shut up and kiss me!” She grabbed him by his collar, planting a kiss on his lips.
When you finally pulled away from your kiss with Spooky, you smiled up at him and his expression was matching yours. You spoke up through your grin:
“I’ll be damned. It is the most wonderful time of the year.”
A/N: Cheesy as fuckkkkk I know but Christmas is all about the cheese if we’re gonna be honest. I hope you enjoyed it! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, y’all! ❤️🎄🎁

[05/29/20]
Your mind swirls with emotion as you wait patiently for what felt like the millionth time.
Please. Please. Please.
You thought to yourself as you pace around your bathroom. You inhale deeply and look down at the fifth pregnancy test you took in your trembling hands. Your eyes begin to blur with tears when you notice the two bright pink lines slowly appear in the little box. You let out a shaky sob, “O-Oh my god. Oh my god, thank you. Holy shit. T-Thank you,” you whimper happily.
You place the test aside, feeling as if a weight was lifted off your shoulders. You run your hands through your hair and back up against the bathroom door, sliding down to the floor. You feel your tears stream down your cheeks while a smile makes its way onto your face.
You and Tom have been married for about two years and been trying to have a baby for the past year. It’s been a rocky road of trial and error, medicines and doctors visits. Now, you both finally just received the most precious and priceless gift anyone could ask for.
You stand up taking a deep breath and close your eyes. This is what you and Tom have been waiting for, what you both have been hoping for. You finally got pregnant, after countless attempts. You didn’t expect it to happen so soon but you couldn’t be more grateful.
You breathe out, your lips quivering as you pick up the test once again. You think for a moment and add up the weeks in your mind. You’re about a week pregnant. You assumed the symptoms you were having were just PMS, but look where you are now. Pregnant. Unbelievable. It truly is a dream came true.
Tom wasn’t home yet because he’s been gone for press the whole day. You wanted to burst into some random interview Tom is in right now and tell him the news, but you’d rather plan something out for him. Especially since his birthday is coming up.
You walk over to your bedroom and pick up your phone, immediately calling your parents to tell them the news. Emotions were all over the place once you told them, their reactions similar to you finding out for the first time.
“I know. I know Dad,” you laugh weakly, wiping away some tears. “I love you, okay bye. I’m going to call Nikki.”
You feel yourself grow more excited, “Hi Mom,” you say as she picks up.
“Hello, sweetheart! I love it when you call. I hope Tom isn’t being a hassle,” she teases.
You giggle at her joke and pause for a moment before springing the big news on her. “Nikki, I’m p-pregnant,” you spill out, still in disbelief even though you already told your own parents.
“Bloody hell! Seriously!?” she cries out in joy, “Dom!” she yells, walking off with her phone.
You giggle, sniffing and swipe away tears that fell once again, “Yes, darling? What’s with the shouting,” Dominic comes into view.
“She’s pregnant, oh my she’s- they’re pregnant honey,” she hugs his arm. 
His eyes widen as he gasps, “Congratulations Y/n! We know how long you and Tom have been trying, this is wonderful!”
“T-Thank you, I know,” you chuckle softly, “S-Speaking of Tom, I’ve been planning a lot for his birthday. So I was thinking you all should fly over from London, I may have already bought some tickets.”
“Y/n,” Nikki covers her mouth, “You didn’t have to.”
“Oh but I wanted to, I emailed you the tickets. Your flights leave tomorrow, I hope that gives you enough time.”
Before you found out you were pregnant, you already had a couple of plans for Tom’s birthday. To fly over his family, including Tess of course, and set up a surprise birthday party. 
You debated if you should’ve invited any of his celebrity friends, but with the big news you know he would want to keep things more secluded. Which you completely understood. Memories of you and Tom getting together for the first time yet being outed to the media within weeks flooded your mind. Great times.
Tom hasn’t seen his family in a couple of months because he’s been recording and doing press here in America. Though you both live in LA, you two made sure to visit London frequently. Not only because you loved spending time there, but seeing his family was always so heartwarming and uplifting. His family is so kind and fun to be around just like him, you always felt right at home with them.
But to kill time, you thought why not mess with him a bit. You’re now waiting for Tom to come home from press, dinner time nearing. You sprawl out, stomach flat on the bed you share with Tom, scrolling through your phone mindlessly.
You let out a quiet gasp as you feel a weight on top of your body, “Hi my love,” he chuckles, lying on you.
“Hello, Tommy,” you hum, “Get off though, you’re squishing us,” you pout, shrugging him off.
He tilts his head and quickly gets off of you, sitting next to you, “Us?”
You cup your breasts, winking at him, “These girlies,” you joke.
“Oh woman,” he tackles you gently back on the bed.
“Excuse me?” you gasp dramatically, looking up at him as he pinned you down to the bed.
“You heard me, my woman. My beautiful, beautiful woman,” he teases. You give him a look and he leaves kisses along your jaw, “You know I’m only joking, my wife.”
“That’s better, Daddy,” you grin at the name, feeling like a giddy teenager for knowing something he doesn’t.
“Love, we haven’t even had dinner yet. You know what that name does to me,” he grumbles.
“Don’t be a big baby, I’m just teasing,” you peck his nose.
“Better be pretty girl, I missed you,” he sits up and lifts you onto his lap, “How are you doing?”
“Much better now that you’re here,” you rest your arms lazily on his shoulders, “I’ve already prepped dinner, do you want to help make it?”
“That would be lovely,” he presses his lips against yours which you kindly accept and kiss back.
[05/31/20]
“Thank you again, sweetie, you truly didn’t have to. We could’ve paid,” Nikki says pulling away from hugging you.
“Nonsense, it’s the least I could do for everything you all have done for us. Tom’s actually staying overnight at a hotel with the cast, so it’s perfect for us to get things ready,” you beam, smiling at the rest of Hollands.
After reuniting with his beautiful family and helping them settle into a nearby hotel, you all began to set up for his birthday.
“Hi Tessa,” you squeal, playing with her as she jumps around on you, “I know, you miss daddy? I miss him too,” you ruffle her head.
“Should this go over here?” Harry asks, lifting up a decoration to the wall.
“Yep, a little bit more to the side. Perfect,” you give him a thumbs up.
“Thanks, Mom,” he teases. 
You roll your eyes, fanning him off, “Oh shush, Uncle,” you retort playfully.
You walk around helping everyone out and make sure things are in place. You walk over to the balcony to see Paddy leaning over the railings, “Hey Pads, everything okay?”
He smiles and looks back at you, “Oh yeah, it’s nothing,” he mutters quietly. You immediately catch him wiping away a tear and walk over, opening your arms up. He quickly hugs you, placing his head on your chest.
“Sweetheart,” you pout, rubbing his head, “What’s wrong?”
“I-I can’t believe I’m going to become an uncle,” he sniffles. 
Your eyes soften and you run your hands through his hair, “An amazing uncle.”
“I’m only 15,” he huffs.
“Almost 16,” you remind him, shrugging. “I’ve seen younger uncles,” you reassure playfully making him chuckle.
“I’m so happy for you two, I know how much you both have been waiting for this,” he pulls away, wiping away more tears. “You know,” he sighs, looking back out at the city.
“Hm?” you lean on the railing with him.
“I know you know this already but, Tom really does love you. I remember how heartbroken he’d be after you both failed to become pregnant over and over again, he used to call us each time. His voice was almost gone, his eyes red and puffy. He felt so bad, he felt like it was his fault at times. Telling us how helpless and disappointed he felt,” he mumbles softly.
You look over at Paddy in bewilderment. Tom never told you that, and you assumed he tells you everything. “I didn’t,” you trail off your heart tightening at the thought of Tom in such a vulnerable state, “I didn’t know that Paddy, thank you for telling me that.”
“I think he might pass out when you tell him, no joke,” he smiles sadly. 
You both look at each other for a moment and begin to giggle, “I’d actually love to see that.”
“Me too,” he snorts. 
Both of your laughter dies down, you ruffle his hair for the last time, “I’ll talk to you later.”
“Y/n?”
“Yep?”
“You two are going to be amazing parents.”
[06/01/2020]
“How was your night?” you smile, leaning against your bedrest looking at your tired husband through the screen.
“It was really fun, they wanted to celebrate for my birthday of course. So we drank a bit, got to know each other more and just messed around, it was a nice way to get close to the cast,” he yawns.
“That’s great, I’m glad you got to. My birthday boy must be exhausted, huh?” 
He chuckles softly, “Sure am, one more recording today, and then I’ll be home before you know it,” he reassures. “All good babe, it’s just me and,” you look around your room, “Oh right, it’s just me,” you sigh dramatically. “Darling,” he whines, hugging a pillow to his chest, “I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be Tommy, I’m only joking around of course. I love you. I can’t wait for you to come home, so we can have our own little celebration,” you wink.
He giggles and looks back at the camera, “I love you so much. I don’t know what I would do without you, seriously,” he mutters, watching you.
You blush underneath his gaze, “I could say the same.”
“No seriously princess, you’re so understanding and compassionate. Unbelievably amazing, an actual angel. I don’t even think you belong on earth, let alone with an earthling like me,” he bubbles happily.
You snicker quietly, “Okay, Peter Parker,” you tease making him roll his eyes, “Thank you though Tommy, I love you more. You’re such a sap.”
“Only for you. I have to go, see you later?”
“Yup. Forever and?”
“Ever.”
You end the call, tossing your phone aside and hop off the bed. You freshen up a bit and change into more suitable clothes.
You walk around your apartment, smiling softly at all the decorations you and his family had recently put up. 
You call Sam and let him know that Tom’s coming home soon. He tells you they’re all on their way.
You tidy up a bit more and heat up some food. You open the door to the Hollands and smile, “Hello hello, again,” you let them inside.
They greet you once more and place presents in the living room. Dom pulls you aside, “How are you feeling, are you ready to tell him?” he asks.
You smile warmly and nod excitedly, “Definitely. I can’t imagine what his reaction is going to be like.”
“We can’t either,” he laughs, “So where do you want us to hide?”
About half an hour later Tom says he’s on his way home, so you look around doing a final check and smile in content.
You walk out to the balcony and check the corner to see them all bunched up together, “You all okay?” you ask.
“Yep,” Harry gives you a thumbs up, everyone else agrees.
“Are you gonna be quiet Tess?” you scratch underneath her chin as she walks up to you. She looks at you with curious eyes and you accept that as her response, “Good girl,” you kiss her forehead.
You check your phone and look up back up at them, “He says he’s five minutes away,” you chirp. They nod and you close the sliding door, walking back inside.
You feel your heart begin to race as you play out every reaction Tom could have. He could actually pass out, or maybe think it’s a joke? You have no idea, but nonetheless you were excited.
You jump at the sound of the door unlocking and opening, “Darling?” he calls out. You rush over to him before he comes inside, and tackle him into a hug.
He stumbles out into the hallway and holds you close, “Happy Birthday again,” you grin, wrapping your arms around his neck.
“Thank you again,” he kisses your cheek and squeezes your waist, “I have a feeling you’re hiding something my love,” he hums, trying to push past you.
“Well, it’s nothing big,” you move out of the way, letting him inside. You swear you see his eyes twinkle when he looks around the apartment.
“Nothing big? Babe,” he pouts and places down his baggage, “I love this so much, you’re adorable,” he opens his arms.
You bite your lip and close the door behind him, hugging him tightly, “Why don’t you freshen up a bit and meet on the balcony? You smell like hotel,” you joke, kissing at his earlobe.
“Alright alright, meet you out there,” he grabs his bags and walks over to your bedroom. You grin grabbing your camera and hide in the kitchen.
You wait about ten minutes and text Harry some quick updates. You hear Tom walk over to the balcony, sliding the door open. You instantly pop up and stealthily follow him while recording.
“Love?” he steps outside, looking around.
“Surprise!” his family shouts out.
He lets out a scream and holds out his fists in defensive. You all burst out in laughter and Tom immediately looks over at you, “Jesus, you guys!” he cries out.
He trips on the rug but makes his way over to them, hugging them tightly, “Happy Birthday sweetheart,” Nikki chirps, squeezing his arm.
“Thanks, Mum,” he smiles warmly, “Tessa! You’re here too?” he bends down, hugging her as she jumps into his arms, “How?” he pretends to sob happily.
“Your wonderful wife of course,” Sam motions over to you, while you smile proudly.
“Thank you all, seriously,” he stands up, hugging them all again.
“When you all are done reuniting, I think lunch is ready,” you hum, winking at Paddy who helped you prepare the meals beforehand.
Shortly after you all ate together and caught up, it was finally present time. You recorded as he opened up his family’s gifts for him.
“Alright alright, it’s my turn,” you pipe up, handing the camera to Paddy. Paddy grins happily and takes a step back to get you and Tom in the shot.
“I thought you bringing them here was my gift from you already?” Tom tilts his head.
“Of course not, there’s always more,” you roll your eyes playfully, calling Tessa over, “You should know me by now, c’mon.”
Tessa walks over with a gift bag in her mouth, sitting in front of Tom, “Tess! What a good girl, look at you,” he gently takes the bag and pets her admiringly. 
He smiles at you and opens up the gift, he pulls out a little folded spider-man onesie. He assumes its for Tessa and laughs, “Don’t we already have one for Tess?”
“Oh yeah, true.”
He raises an eyebrow and opens it up more, examining it. His eyes widen and quickly darts over to you, “N-No.”
You feel your eyes gloss and you nod slowly, “Y-Yep.”
“Y-You’re not joking?” he walks over to you, falling to his knees.
You stifle a cry and cups his face, “D-Definitely not, look in the bag.”
He reaches over and pulls out another wrapped gift. He opens it up to see your pregnancy test in a bag, “Fucking hell,” he places it aside and hugs you close as you kneel down.
You feel him begin to tremble against you and your heart swells, “Tommy,” you sniffle, running your hands through his hair.
“You’re p-pregnant? W-We’re pregnant?” his voice wavers, tears spilling from his eyes.
You nod again, wiping away his tears, “Y-Yes we are,” you utter.
He holds you close and sobs into your neck. You look up at his family for a moment, chuckling in between cries noticing they’re crying with the both of you.
You whisper sweet nothings in his ear and rub his back, “You okay, bubby?” you sniff. 
He nods and pulls away looking up at you, “M-More than okay,” he hiccups, smiling cheekily. “It’s the best bloody gift I could ever ask for,” he cups your cheek, wiping your tears away as well.
“It truly is,” you murmur softly. He stands you up and kneels down, placing his hands on your sides, “Tom?”
“Let me talk to my other b-baby girl or boy o-of course,” he blubbers, pressing a warm kiss against your stomach. 
Everyone laughs including you, “I’m glad you didn’t faint, Paddy was betting you would,” you thread your fingers through his hair.
He glares at Paddy playfully as he places his face onto your stomach, “Of course he would.”
Paddy whines behind the camera making you both chuckle, “Tom, I’ve only been pregnant for a week,” you hum, looking back down at Tom.
“It’s my birthday, let me have my moment,” he replies sassily, hugging your waist closer.

A.V - Mind reader
Tumblr media
Summary: You are new to the Volturi due to your gift, mind reading. When you finally have a proper meeting with Alec it goes better then you could have ever imagined
Request: YES/no @cullens-stuff​ : Can I request 2 and 15 with Alec Volturi please! (Aged up ofc!) 2 “ I think I just fell for you. Get it? ‘Cause I just fell on my fucking ass. ”. 15 ” I want to kiss you so badly right now. “Warnings; swearing, kissing
Warnings: swearing, kissing
Wordcount: 1621
Being a new member of the Volturi is scary. It terrifies you to your core. You have a gift, mindreading. Since Edward wouldn't join the Volturi, the kings have been searching for someone with similar powers to him. That's how they find you. They send out Demitri and Felix to get you. You knew that they would come for you. You read it in the minds of vampires around you. You weren't scared to go with them, no, you wanted to go with them. You were just scared that they might hurt your coven members.
A soft knock in your front door alerts you. You hear the minds fo the two people standing in front of your door. Both are thinking in a language you don't understand. Is that greek? You make your way to the door while trying to keep your steps as silent as possible even though they have probably already heard you. You open the door to see two men standing there. You know their names, everybody knows the names of the Volturi. "Are you Y/L/N?" Felix asks. A shudder runs down your spine as you look up at him. You get why they use him to scare people. You nod, moving a bit to the side so that the men can enter your home. You close the door after them once they've entered. "Yeah," you say.
"But, please, it's just Y/N,". Both men nod, not paying much attention to you. They look around at your apartment. You can hear them judging your decorating choices in their heads. "I am sure that you know why we are here,' Demitri says. You nod looking at the floor. You're too afraid to look directly at them, scared to anger them in any sort of way.
"Will you be coming with us? I am sure that the masters will not be happy to hear if you would not." Felix says. The formality of their vocabulary makes them even more frightening. You nod again. "Yeah, I'll-I'll come just let me, please let me grab my bag?" you ask. Demitri nods and you quickly make your way to your bedroom. You know that both men are not liking that you still kept your human habits like going to 'sleep' every night, but you can't seem to shake the habits.
You quickly spot your pre-packed bag sitting on your bed. Since you knew they would come, you packed up your stuff ahead of time. You grab the pack and look around your room for one final time. The moment would be emotional to you if you couldn't hear the loud minds of the two Volturi members judging every bit of you, from your appearance to your home. You quickly make your way to the living room again. "Are you ready to go?" Demitri asks to which you nod. He walks towards your front door and mentions for you to follow him. He walks out of the door, followed by Felix. This is it. This is the final times you'll leave your home. You take a deep breath before stepping out the door. A new start.
Living with the Volturi is scary. Even though you are still a lower guard, the masters like to keep you close due to your ability. During trails, Aro kept you standing next to him while he held your hand. Due to his gift, he could read other peoples minds through you. When you weren't needed you stayed mostly in your room. The higher guards, especially Felix, still scare you too much to be comfortable around them. But you guess that that is when they are for, scaring people. The library also became one of your favourite hangouts spots. Most of the guards don't bother to enter it let alone pick up a book. It's too ' human ' for them to read of pleasure. This is only fortunate for you since you prefered being alone in the castle.
You scan through the book on the shelves, trying to find new titles to read. Your latest fascination has been astronomy. The stars are way more visible in rural Italy then they were in your home town, which has caused you to gain an interest in them. You had already picked up some books to read, holding them in your arms while finding a couple more. You are lost in the books until you hear another mind enter the library. Throughout your stay, and with a lot of practise, you have learned to partialy block out the thoughts of other. Sure, mind reader can be nice but constatnly hearing others thoughts can get crowded in your head. You turn around see who entered the libary. They are standing way closer to you than you imagined, causing you to bump into to them, lose your balance and fall on the ground. The books scatter around you with a loud tud. You look up at the person standing infront of you. Alec. You can hear him apoligize in his head and try to make himself help you up, but he stays still. Help them! God, just help them get up.
"I think I just fell for you," you say softly. If the vampire could blush, Alec's cheeks would have turned bright red. They fell for me. Do they like me? You hold your hand out for him. He shakes his head quickly before he grabs a hold of your hand and helps you stand up. "Get it? 'Cuz I fell on my fucking ass?" you say as you whip the dust of your clothes. Alec quickly lets out a very forced chuckle.
He nods his head. "Yeah, that's-that's a good one," he says. You nod before going to grab the books from the ground. Alec quickly springs into actions and helps you pick them up into he acidentaly bumps his hand against yours and lays it on top of yours when you both reach out for the same book. He quickly retracs his hand and mutters out an apoligy. When you finish picking up the books, you both stand up straight again and look at each other. An awkward silence hangs over you two. You take this time to take a good look at Alec. He's pretty. A couple of freckles are littered over his cheeks as his soft brown locks frame his face perfectly. Say something, this is your chance, dumb ass.
"So," he breaks the silence. "How are you liking living here?". That's the dumbest question ever. You shrug as you look down at the ground. "It's different. But a good kind of different. It's nice to be able to use my gifts for good,". Alec just nods at you, staring wholes into your skull.
"You never talk to use a lot, you know? You are kind of like a ghost around here," he says with a laugh. You frown a little. Did people think of you as a ghost? Sure, you didn't come out of your room a lot but you thought that people wouldn't mind that. O no, are they sad? Did I say something wrong? "But, a...a good ghost! The fun kind, you know? The pretty kind." Alec quickly adds.
You give him an awkward smile before making your way past him. A reading sesion in the library suddenly isn't an appealing idea anymore. You hear Alec having an internal debate with himself before he quickly runs over to you. His hand grips your arm before he quickly spins you around. You are now closer to him then before. Close enough to smell is scent. Wet grass and lemon cakes. "I am sorry I just...I like you and..." he rambles. "It isjust hard and this is going sound weird but I think that we might be mates and...". He stops himself from talking. He looks at your face and glances down at your lips. He takes in every detail. Every imperfection and every beauty mark. All are beautiful to him. "I want to kiss you so badly right now" he whispers out.
You nod softly, clutching the books closer to your chest. "What's stopping you?" you ask. Fuck it. He places on hand at the back of your neck as he pulls you closer to him and closes the gap between you by pressing his lips against you. Even though his skin is hard as diamonds, his lips feel soft against yours. He softly moves his other hand to the small of your back. You melt into his touch. Your mind goes blank as the feeling of euphoria washes over you. To caught up in the kiss, you forget the books in your hands. Your grip losens on them as they fall to the ground, landing on both of your feet. You quickly break the kiss as you apoligize. "It is alright," Alec says. He quickly grabs the books from the ground using his inhummanspeed. He hands them over to you. His hands move up to your arms, rubbing slow circles on them.
"Do you want to go on a date sometime?" he asks. Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes. You nod, not trusting your voice at the moment. A smile breaks out on his face. "Great! I will pick you up at your room tonight, are you free?". You nod again, gripping the books tighter in exsitment.
"I have to be at a trail at six but I'm free after that," you say. Alec nods before he plants a final kiss on your lips. A warm, fuzzy feling washes through your body at his touch. "I'll see you then, cara mia,". Joining the Volturi was definetly a good idea. A really good idea.

Mission Accomplished O-WK
Requested by Anon: Could you write an Obi-Wan x Reader oneshot, where Reader and her Padawan joins Obi-Wan & Anakin on a mission and after Reader is put in a life threatening situation while saving Anakin and her Padawan, Obi-Wan confesses his feelings to her once they are alone?
~~
You stood in the middle of the Jedi Council with your Padawan, Leo. Currently, they were assigning you and your padawan, a mission and now they were debating amongst themselves about whether or not another pair should join you. “You are sending them into Kradril, there are thousands of battle droids,” Obi-Wan insisted. 
“If we send too many people there, then they will be easily caught,” Windu fired back. 
“Silence, you all,” Yoda commanded. “Go to Kradril, you will, Master Obi-Wan. Padawan, you will take.”
“Thank you, Master Yoda,” Obi-Wan said before turning back to you and Leo. 
“Master Y/N, Master Obi-Wan, collect your Padawans and leave at once,” Master Kit said. 
“Yes, Sir,” you said, turning on your heel to leave while Obi-Wan and Leo follow you. 
“Is it true there will be thousands of battle droids?” Leo asked nervously. 
You laughed slightly, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. “We’ll be fine. Stick with Master Obi-Wan and I and you’ll be fine.” Leo had only been your Padawan for four years, so he had a lot to learn, but he was smart. 
“Just watch out for Anakin,” Obi-Wan cut in with humor in his voice, “he can be a bit reckless.” Leo gave him a smile before walking into his dormitory as Obi-Wan and you continued to the master’s section. 
“Will you be okay,” Obi-Wan asked, just as you were about to enter your room, “with Leo going on a mission?” 
You hesitated. Two years ago, when Leo had only been your padawan for a year, the council sent the both of you on a mission. It was supposed to be a simple mission, but Leo had somehow provoked a merchant who wanted to sell him into slavery. Jedi mind tricks weren’t working on the alien man, but you still defended your padawan. It ended with Leo getting thrown through a trading booth that caused internal trauma, which he needed surgery for. There was no one to help you, so while you waited for help, you used the force to keep his lungs from collapsing. “Yeah, I’ll be okay,” you forced a smile. 
Obi-Wan remembered your fear from all those years ago. He had been part of the rescue team and he would never get the image of tears running down your S/C cheeks as you struggled to keep the boy breathing. He remembered distinctly how afterward you would talk to him about it and try not to fall apart as he held you. You were incredibly protective over Leo now, which rubbed a few masters the wrong way, but anyone who lost their padawan or master knows how painful it is. “Okay,” Obi-Wan nods, “we’ll meet in the hangars in half an hour.” 
You nodded again, going into your dormitory and collecting your things for the trip. The entire time you were grabbing robes and other necessities, you couldn’t stop thinking about what happened last time. Your mind also kept wandering to the nights you spent with Obi-Wan. When the memories wouldn’t leave you, you’d go to Obi-Wan or if he sensed your distress through the walls, he’d come to you. You’d usually talk to him while he comforted you, trying to coax you to sleep. Oftentimes you’d wake up tangled in his arms and resting on his chest. 
Holding your bag, you exited your room and headed towards Leo’s. When you knocked on the door, Leo greeted you with the sight of him holding his bag, ready to go. “You’re on time for once, I’m impressed,” you joked. 
Leo laughed in return, “I’m just excited to go on another mission.”
Stopping, you whirled around so you were now facing him. “Be careful, I mean it. You remember what happened last time and this time, I won’t be able to save you if you get shot,” you say gravely. 
He seemed to deflate, making you feel bad. “Yes, Master.”
“Good, I don’t mean to scare you or discourage you. I just really need you to be careful.” Leo nodded once again before you continued your way to the hangar. As expected, neither Obi-Wan nor Anakin were there. Anakin wasn’t the most punctual person. Approaching a six person ship, you opened the ramp and walked up, Leo tailing behind. There were three rooms, each containing two beds. You went to one room to set your belongings down while Leo went to another. Obi-Wan would either stay in Anakin’s room or stay in this one, and considering how many times Obi-Wan slept in your bed and vice versa, you wouldn’t be surprised if he chose your room. 
Walking into the cockpit, you sat in the pilot’s seat, checking out the controls. As you were getting a sense of the ship’s controls, you felt two people walk into the room. “Nice of you to join us,” you smirked. 
“It’s not my fault my padawan is always tardy,” Obi-Wan defended. 
“Actually, it kind of is, Master,” Anakin quipped, making you smile. 
“Anakin, why don’t you get a sense of the controls,” you said to your co-pilot. It was a well known fact that Anakin was an excellent flyer, albeit reckless, while his master was not. You had only taught Leo the basics, and this ship was too big for him to handle. 
Anakin slid into the seat next to you, getting a sense of everything before you finally took off, jumping into hyper-speed when you exited Coruscant’s atmosphere. You spent the trip laughing with Obi-Wan and the two Padawans and showing Leo the controls. But as you approached Kradril, you all got into planning mode. Eventually, the group decided on staying together, seeing as there was an enormous threat in the form of thousands of battle droids. Your job was to destroy the computer that controlled them and get out, which is easier said than done. 
You landed the ship in the mountains, careful to keep out of range of the base’s sensors. As Anakin and Leo walked out of the cockpit, you stood up only to be held back by Obi-Wan. “Look, I know you’re going to protect Leo to the point where you’d die for him, but I need you. I need you to be here with me so badly,” he pleaded. 
Not getting the full meaning of his words, you nodded. The bearded Jedi let go of your arm, allowing you to walk away. Once everyone was off the ship, you began walking in front while Obi-Wan walked in the back, protecting Leo and Anakin and looking out for threats. The mission went smoothly enough; you got into the base smoothly, taking out a few droids silently. When you got to the main computer, you set it to shut down all droids in an hour, giving you enough time to escape before anyone figured out something might be wrong. 
But it all went to hell when you encountered droidekas. 
As you and the rest of the Jedi were making your way out of the base, a group of battle droids appeared at the end of the hall. Everyone did their job, slicing up the droids until about a dozen droidekas showed up. “What the hell?” Anakin shouted in surprise. 
“One of them must’ve signaled for help,” you reasoned. They began to surround your group as you and Obi-Wan pushed your padawans into the wall so no one would be shot in the back. Once Leo and Anakin were ‘safe,’ Obi-Wan stepped in front of you, shielding you with his body. 
Looking up, you noticed exposed pipes, hopefully strong enough to hold up a person so they could swing behind the droids and kill them. “Anakin,” you muttered. He looked at you, seeming to have figured out your plan. He nodded, reaching up for the pipes and swinging behind them. The second Anakin moved, the droidekas deployed their shields and began firing. 
Anakin sliced three away, making a path for at least one of you to get out. “Leo, go,” you ordered. 
“But-” 
“I said, go!” you yelled, desperate to keep that pathway clear. He ran off to Anakin, taking out one more droid once he was behind them. 
“Anakin, take Leo back to the ship. If we’re not back 15 minutes after you, leave,” Obi-Wan ordered while still deflecting blaster shots. 
“Master-” 
“Protect Leo!” you yelled. The boys nodded, running for the exit. 
“Y/N, if we don’t get out of this,” Obi-Wan yelled, “I want you to know-” 
You cut him off with your scream. Looking over, he saw a crater from where the blaster hit. It went over the top of your forearm. The sight of you injured seemed to ignite something in Obi-Wan. It was like the strength he received after watching Qui-Gon be killed, only now it was amplified. He stepped forward boldly, hacking and slashing at the droids until they were all in bits and pieces. He looked over at you who was clutching your forearm, unsure of how to make the pain stop. 
Stepping next to you, he took your uninjured hand. “I know it hurts, but we have to leave right now,” he stressed. You nodded, allowing him to continue to hold your hand as you ran out of the base with him. 
“What were you going to say earlier?” you asked as the both of you continued to run. 
He hesitated, “I’ll tell you later.” 
Continuing to run, you made it on the ship just as Anakin was about to start it. Rushing into the cockpit, you praised Anakin for following orders. Still clutching your arm, you supervised Anakin until you could safely hit hyper-speed. 
“C’mon Y/N, let me fix your arm,” Obi-Wan invited. You nodded, standing up to follow him to your room. You fell back onto your bed, exhausted, as Obi-Wan rifled through a bag to find medicine. He kneeled next to you, forcing you to sit up as he took your arm. The medicine was cooling against the charred flesh that was your arm, and Obi-Wan wrapped it. “They’ll probably have to peel away the burnt skin,” Obi-Wan told you. 
You groaned, you’ve seen plenty of Jedi receive that treatment. Whether it came from battle, sparring, or even accidental self-inflicted wounds on young Padawans; the procedure was always met with screaming. 
“And what I wanted to tell you…” Obi-Wan trailed off, not meeting your eyes. Concerned, you almost said something, but he continued. “I love you,” his cerulean blue eyes looked into your E/C ones. “I’ve loved you since we were Padawans. You helped me get through Qui-Gon’s death, and I helped you through Leo’s injury. And some of my favorite moments are when I’d wake up, and you’d be laying on my chest, still sleeping. I love you, most ardently.” 
You couldn’t speak, your best friend, the man who you denied your feelings for, for years just told you, he loves. Still unable to speak, you connected your lips to his. It was slow and passionate, but also needy because of all the years of avoidance. “I love you too,” you said, your forehead leaning against his. 
“You should probably rest,” he breathed. You nodded, pulling away from Obi-Wan slowly. 
“Stay with me?” you pleaded. 
“Of course,” he smiled. He laid down next to you, careful of your burnt arm. You laid against his chest while he buried his face in your hair, which was tied back. Obi-Wan pulled the ribbon that held your hair back, out and let the rest of your hair fall. He stroked his fingers through it lovingly, long after you fell asleep. He looked down at your sleeping form, cuddled tightly into his chest. He couldn’t believe that after all these years, he finally had you.

Megastar shippers are mad again :o!! big shocker
TW ed // abu$e // Megastar clearly // a$sault  // $elf H@rm
So it’s been made clear to me I was ‘exposed’ on Twitter for hating Megastar here's the main thing. none of yall expose me, I'm open about hating this toxic abusive ship, I don’t hide it and I never once have. You don’t need to censor my name in fact, I prefer you don't. I never said or would ever to say to a victim, I have no regard or sympathy for what they went through especially not as one myself through multiple abusers. What I DONT have sympathy for is disregarding other victims for your arguably coping strategy. I would take away anyone's abuse if I could, but when you choose to ‘cope’ by promoting, fet!shizing, and romanticizing the awful terrible experience that is abuse, I will tell you to your face the damage you do to others. 
I’ll start with the big argument, it’s a coping mechanism, but coping doesn’t mean good and it is VERY dangerous to think so. One of the many I coped with the abuse from my longest abuser was starving myself and not taking my medication. It made me feel strong, and feel like I was in total control, but that did not make it good. Especially being chronically ill, I was quite literally abusing MYSELF. When it comes to a much less physical way, I coped by making fun of others when I was around 13-15 especially ‘SJWs’ I made fun of kids that are autistic (knowing I was myself but not wanting to admit to that mentally) I made fun of people really who just weren’t like me, furries, band kids, scene kids. It was a lot of self-hatred and it did in a way heal me and do what I wanted it to do a coping strategy but it wasn’t okay, it wasn’t good, and importantly it was intensely unhealthy and worsed what I went through in the long run. Heres where Megastar shippers may be shocked I did megastar. Not long, but I did, around the age of 11-12. I idolized it, and I listened to the fandom really, I said it made me feel good and it made me happy hell I even said I wanted a ‘Megatron’ in my life. Boy did I get one. and because of the ship at that. I met a much older girl and we would DM on Insta, she sent things I shouldn’t have seen and audios I shouldn’t have heard. She said outright I was her ‘Starscream’ and that Megatron did ‘he had to’ to keep Starscream as his own and that he did what he did out of pure love and I ate it up. If being abused love I wanted to be abused, I just wanted to belong. But looking back the fandom's idea and admiration for megastar was very bad on my 11-year-old mind. KEEP IN MIND the show is not for adult audiences, I was a targeted consumer and I listened and learned from the adults, from the fandom, as any child does. So when I saw both the fet!ishzation of MLM and of abuse. I learned that to be normal. And from that, I learned that to be how I should COPE when I’m sad, I should be just like them because everyone says they are happy. I'm not the only, though other people's stories aren't my to tell, I can say they mention a$sault, physical abuse, mental, etc. I shouldn’t have to explain to mostly 15-25-year-olds, why that's not true and why just because you cope with something doesn’t make it healthy.
A second big ‘argument’ I see is, ‘fiction doesn’t affect reality’ ‘it’s fictional’ ‘its a cartoon’. I don’t understand this ‘debate’ because we have seen SO. MANY. TIMES. OF. FICTION. AFFECTING. (guess what) R E A L I T Y. Take, for example, finding Nemo and both the mass flushing of pet fish and also the mass abuse of Clownfish because every child wanted a ‘Nemo’. We see this again when we look into dinosaurs actually! In mainstream media the idea of dinosaurs being scaly, reptile-like, etc. that's not true and we’ve known it's not true! Dinos are ‘speculated’ to be feathered and colorful hence why they came to be BIRDS. But that idea, because we saw in movies, stuck. And most people who don’t research (and that's most people) only saw the fictional version, that version is what stands out in their minds, to them that is a dinosaur. After 101 Dalmatians so many, I mean SO MANY, kids wanted a Dalmatian. They are amazing dogs but the thing is they need a little more training, well parents didn’t want a real dog they wanted a movie dog, a cartoon dog, and so they got puppies. When those puppies grew and became ornery and no effort was put in place to train them, they were given away in mass. We KNOW fiction affects reality, we know human brains can’t process some fictional characters (especially in anime) as cartoons. We cry over fiction, we laugh over it, we learn from it, we put morals in it for kids, I don’t get why some people still argue it doesn’t happen and I’m not going to argue with ignorance. 
Essentially here's the points. You CAN cope with Megastar, but you shouldn’t, it provides no actual help it can actually soften you to abusers, it warps the idea of abuse, it romanticizes it, (a big part of it is YOAI which is fet!shizaton of MLM) and it NORMALIZES it by being commonly consumed and a large part of the Transformers, and TFP’s specifically, fandom. Fiction DOES affect reality what you do online, say online, show online, especially to minors, is heavily altering to a mindset and to people in correlation with what's being shown. You can hate me all you want, censor my name all you want, but no one is arguing besides ‘I like it and I said so’ you can say so, I can’t silence you and I wouldn’t, but when you neglect and turn down what is blatant problems and obvious issues in front of you? That is no problem of mine :)
You ship abuse and if you are gonna keep doing it, at least own up <3
(also you guys can ship abuse without it affecting reality but I can’t make a joke hrm hmm)
edit: for context for the last part I made a joke about STARSCREAM killing megastar shippers. I said killing yes but how is that death wish did yall really think i was like. bout to summon the guy I’m confused by you guys make it make sense.
Edit 2: in the future i WILL clarify jokes better ill put that slash thing i think its /j. To me and my friends it was and still is obvious but i understand the concern. Ive gotten multiple ACTUAL threats of being doxed, assulted, etc. so clarifying wasnt a need in my head and ill be better at doing so next time i totally get how to some people specially those with truama it could have been seen as scary and im sorry i didnt clarfiy as i should!

(idk what to call this, pretend it's a good title)
Description: From birth, your quirk had always been different, coming with black bat-like wings, but what happens when they get ripped from you during childhood? (Your quirk is a bat, coming with echolocation, and the whole package. You even have big ol ears).
Pairing: Keigo Takami (Hawks) x reader
Warnings: Mentions of abuse and depression, swearing
----------------------------------------------------------
Past
"Honey where are your parents?" You heard a sickly sweet but soft voice ask you.
"I don't know". That was your only answer. You knew what was going to happen. You were just scared.
"Honey we should probably go down to the police station, they'll help you." How come people are so ignorant? All you can do is wait now, and not say anything more.
"Hi ma'am, this is my little sister, we'll be on our way now" you heard a man say. You knew this. So why were you so scared?
Moments turned to minutes, minutes turned to hours, to days. You ended up being their puppet. After all, you could do pretty much everything they needed. There was just a small problem. You couldn't leave.
All you could hear were your screams bouncing off of the walls of the room as your wings were ripped from your back. Searing pain seized down your back, causing you to cry out in pain.
Soon enough, it was over. A man wrapped your wings, or what was left of them, in order to not cause infection. You had now come to terms with the fact that you will never out live this. This is your family, this is a part of you. You can never leave.
----------------------------------------------------------
Present
"Wait what!? Really! Thank you dad!" You hugged him, because he had just told you you could leave if you wanted, and there would be hell to pay if you didn't come back, but you could leave nonetheless.
"Awee I wanna come with too Shig" You heard Toga complain. Toga was younger than you, about the age of a high-schooler. Not that you were much older, just older still.
"Dad please can you let her? We won't be long, I promise" Dad. Shigaraki. The one who raised you, even though he was your age. Some people might say he would be more like a big brother, but he was kind to you. More so than the others. He fed you, let you be a kid sometimes. He was like a father figure of a sorts, so, you've come to respect him.
"No, y/n, you know this. You can't go out there with her, they know who she is. They don't know you. Just don't pull any dumb shit". You could settle for that. That actually sounded really good. You were just really happy to see sunlight for the first time in your life, without having to be in the confines of a fence.
"Alright. Well, I'm gonna find a coffee shop, I wanna know what it tastes like. How about I'll be back by, say, umm, 4:30? Latest 5:00?" You asked. How could he say no to that? It was a win-win, because it's already around 2:45, and you don't know your way around the streets.
"Ok, fine go. Make sure you call me immediately if anything goes wrong. Be home safe, ok?" See? That's full out dad mode right there.
"Yes dad, I know the drill." You were almost bouncing out of the door when you were ready to go.
You were wearing your newest pair of clothes, of course, slightly stained but that's because Dabi, who is more like a brother to you, decided to steal them from a corner store. It was a black crop top, with two little holes cut in the back for the small nubs poking from your back. You had to convince Dabi to cut them for you, since you can't place where that at.
You also wore high-rise black jeans, and a belt that cinched your waist. Dabi knew you all too well, and knew that you've been wanting an outfit like that for a while. No rips in the jeans either, which was a surprise. You of course wore socks, but they had a lot of holes in them. But your shoes covered them perfectly. They were white and the went up past your ankle. You thought you looked perfect, especially for your first day out.
When, you stepped out, you quickly felt a breeze brush past your face, and it felt amazing. It was a true fresh breath of air. You walked around for a bit, and then saw it. There were people going in and out of it, but not as many as you thought.
When you walked in, you smelled something that almost smelled bitter, but sweet. Is it chocolate? Coffee maybe? You couldn't tell, since you never had either. When it was your turn to order, you picked the first thing that caught your eye. A chocolate drizzled frappuchino.
"U-um hi, can I get a chocolate drizzled f-frappuchino?" You said shyly, you're voice coming out more squeeky than you had thought. She was very kind, and said, well you don't really know what she said. It got drowned out by your thoughts.
Something caught your eye, it was a glance of red, almost like blood. Too much, like blood.
"Would you like a small, medium or large?". What? You had to choose? There's a difference? Oh no. Oh no oh nOoO. What do you say?
The lady must've noticed, and immediately said "Would you like a medium, it's perfect for if you want to stay but not for too long". You felt thankful that she said that, and you immediately nodded your head, heading over to the small waiting line.
You catch another glance of red, looking up immediately. You were stunned. He looked so familiar, your pretty sure you've seen him in the pictures from Shigaraki's plans. Then it clicked. All the information he told you about him.
Hero name: Hawks. Actual name : Keigo Takami. Quirk: Fierce wings, he can fly, and telepathically control the feathers that he uses. Number two fucking hero. Great. Now Dad definitely will want you back home. But for now you leave it alone, and don't pay much mind to it. You want to enjoy your first day out.
When a different lady calls your name from the counter, you walk over and take the cup and the straw. There is a fluffy substance on top, along with what you think is chocolate drizzled into the cup. You put the straw in the cup and felt at peace. You then took a sip. It's absolutely divine.
You look away for a second, and then you notice Keigo walking towards you, but you pretend to not see him and make your way towards a table.
"Hi there, you must be new around this place." You freeze. He's talking to you. Right here. Right now.
"Um, yeah I- I don't really come around this city much." You lie. You've been around plenty of times. Just not as many outside as in.
"Oh, well this place has the best coffee, anywhere in Japan, so I think you're in luck. You should come around here more often. By the way, I'm Hawks. But you can call me Takami." He said, a smile on his face. Not smug or anything, just content. Something you're not used to doing.
"U- uh okay. My dad normally doesn't let me out of the house much. I guess you can call me y/l/n." You say, not lying, but not giving the entire truth.
And then you remember it. You're wings. His wings. The way he glanced at your back when you turned away. Shit, why do you let yourself get so carried away.
"O-oh well I should get going then, I have a bad habit of over sharing." You say, that odd feeling of over sharing. But before you can leave he says,
"I'm all ears if you've got time". This time it was a familiar smile. It was a smug one almost cocky. You debated it, hit decided it would be fine, as long as you don't mention the League.
Once you start rambling he is interested, watching intently as you talk. Him asking the occasional question. And then there it was, that question. "Hey, I know it's odd but I noticed your back. It looks like there were wings there, because it looks similar to when I use all my feathers in a fight. If you don't want to explain you don't have to." He said. You started shaking. Do I want to? I'd this ok? You thought.
"Well, it's a really long story. But when I was younger, my uh... Uncles, ripped off my wings. They were afraid I would leave them. I would fly away. I wanted to become a hero, by that was torn away with my wings." You say.
"Oh wow. You know, it's ok, right? That you might now have them. Who knows, they might even grow back!" He said cheerfully.
"actually..." He stopped once you started talking, "the doctor said if they don't grow back in ten years they will never show up again. It's been 15 years. But it's ok. Who knows I may just sprout some wings soon." You say trying to be sarcastic. Because in all reality, you don't know.
"Well, I hope to see you around. Ask your dad if we can meet up again soon." Hold on. How did the number two pro hero just ask you to hangout again?
"Maybe. My- my Dad is actually pretty strict, and he doesn't really like the idea.." You take a deep breath. "..of Heroes." You say, almost quietly. You really wanted to hang out, but just couldn't. Probably. "Wait! Hold up- I could just say I'm going out for coffee instead of meeting up with you!" You decided to say. A little more enthusiastic than you wanted.
"That works!" He said, matching your energy.
You guys continued to talk, about anything and everything. By the time 4:00 rolled around, you had decided on two days from today. At the same time. About 3:15.
When you headed back, it was 4:30 on the spot. The only issue: He was there. Hawks.
"What are you doing here?!" You whispered. This was no place for a hero. Especially Hawks. He couldn't take everyone on without dying.
"Same question to you." He whispered back.
"I'll explain at the café" you told him. What else were you supposed to do? Talk to him freely now?
"Dad, what's he doing here?" You said, talking about Hawks. You could tell that he knew who you were talking about.
"He's just here... For business." You weren't buying it, but what choice did you have?
----------------------------------------------------------
Two days later
"Hey.." You start. You know he knows. And he knows you know. You were just hoping you two could explain it all today.
"Hi." He said. He had no expression in his face. He normally wore a smile or a light hearted expression. But this was different. There was no smile. It was blank. Unreadable.
"So, I'm going to get straight to the point. I live there. That is my home. I don't have a choice. I didn't get to 'join' them. When I was about 4 or 5 years old, and my parents had died. They died because of a car crash. Apparently, they worked with the villains. A man, who might have been in his thirties took me to the hideout. After about a year, I went out through the door to see what the sun was like. They didn't like that." You continued. "Then they ripped off my wings. I still have all of my abilities, but nothing more. That's why I stay. If I leave, they will hunt me down. I want to leave, but I can't. Shigaraki- he's like my dad. He is only a few months older than me, but he still cared for me when no one else did. He helped me. And I won't judge you for being there either since I don't know your story. I just want to know why you, of all people, the number two fucking hero, was there." That's all you said. You stopped. And waited for him to say something.
Soon enough, his voice came out smooth, and soft. Not judging. But still serious, and him. "I'm working there- shit I'm really not supposed to tell anyone this." He took a deep breath. "I'm a spy. I'm not truly working for them, but I have to make it seem like it. Im only surprised, because I have never seen you there. Not once until yesterday. I truly am dedicated to being a hero, which is why I'm working with the league. I don't truly want to, but it helps the hero cause. Where have you been? How come I haven't ever seen you?" He asked. You answered.
"Dad doesn't like me being around for the meetings. He makes me go upstairs, and I stay there until he tells Toga or Dabi to come get me. I'm not part of the front line team. I'm the brains behind it. I have no choice but to plan it all out. The only reason I continue, is because I don't know how to stop."
That's how your 45 minute "date" went. Back and forth you two had questions and answers. You decided on meeting up every two days. Same time, same place.
Again, here you two are. Talking. And even laughing. Which you hadn't done since you were a teenager. "Yeah, I don't know where he thinks he'll get keeping me in my room, I can still hear everything. Just faintly. Can't make out individual voices."
He looked playfully dramatic shocked. "Now my quirk looks weak compared to yours." What? He really thought that? You felt a blush creep on to your cheeks.
"R- Really?"
"Yeah. I mean, in the best of ways, you literally are a bat. Everything about you. Except for, well, you."
"But how is my quirk better than yours?"
"Sweetheart, I literally can only fly and use my feathers. Even then, the more feathers I use the more difficult it is for me to fly." Really? There was more to it, you were sure. Wait- did he just call you sweetheart? The blush that crept on to your cheeks was a dark shade of pink.
"There's gotta be at least s-some speed boost o-or something, right?" The conversation continued, up until it was time for you to leave.
"Oh, and y/l/n, your wings are growing again." He said with a happy smile.
----------------------------------------------------------
A/n: this might become a series, so stay tuned I guess. Bye for now 🙃

Ch 15: The Explanation 
It was about 3am. Dr. Maheswaran was in a station area filling out some paperwork for a patient. She sighed as she finished it before straightening them up. She put them in a folder before looking at the time. 2:49am. Perhaps she should go check on Steven to see how he's doing.
"Dr. Maheswaran!" a voice called behind her.
She turned around to see Dr. Randy walked down the hallway to meet her.
"Oh, Dr. Randy hello."
"Hey, what are you doing?" she asked.
"Well I just finished paperwork for Mr. Franklin. Now I'm going to go check on Mr. Universe."
"Isn't that the kid who was stabbed in the stomach?"
"Yea...he is."
Dr. Randy sighs. "It still baffles me who would do such a thing to a young boy."
"It's...complicated. Anyway, I should head to his room."
"Of course," Dr. Randy nods.
Dr. Maheswaran continued her way into Steven's room. She walked in to see Steven still lying unconscious in his bed. She sighed as she walked up to him to take some of his vitals before going to check on some of his paperwork. She couldn't help but think about what happened after Steven had his panic attack. Also how her daughter fled out of the room and how she had to comfort her afterwards.
Dr. Maheswaran walked out of the room to find her daughter. She wanted to see if her daughter was ok before going back to her work. As she walked down the hall, she found Connie in a small and empty waiting room. She was still shaking and continuing to cry, not aware of her mother in the room yet.
"Connie?"
Connie flinched slightly as she looked up at her mom, tear filled eyes widening in shock.
Mom! I...I-I'm really sorry I ran out like that! I...I just...I couldn't! I couldn't s-see him like that again!"
Dr. Maheswaran walked over and sat next to her daughter.
"Hey, it's ok. It's natural to be scared like that. Especially…" she stops and sighs. "Steven's father wasn't better off either. He was crying hysterically. I think Bismuth...her name was I think...had to hold him back and also comfort him. I couldn't help but empathize with him."
"What?" 
"Just...having to see your child like that. I couldn't imagine what would've happened if you were in Steven's position."
"But...I…"
"Don't get me wrong, Steven doesn't deserve to be in this position either. When you came to the hospital, I was relieved to see you were ok...well, physically. But I could tell mentally…" she sighs. "Let's just say I can empathize with Greg in terms of being a parent."
"Oh…" Connie looks back down. "I-I'm sorry…!
"Connie, none of this was your fault. You couldn't have known this would happen."
"Yea...but-."
Suddenly, Dr. Maheswaran pulled Connie into a hug.
"I...may not know exactly what you're going through or what you saw, but your father and I will be here for you."
Connie only stared in shock for a few seconds before giving in and crying her eyes out shaking and hugging her mother back. Dr. Maheswaran hugged her all the time Connie needed. She only wanted both Connie and Steven to get through this together.
Dr. Maheswaran was continuing to check some of Steven's paperwork. She was looking over and writing down on some of them. The only thing that was keeping the room from being quiet, was the sound of the heart monitor going off every 2 or 3 seconds. 
A little bit later, she finished writing the paperwork and went towards Steven to check on his vitals again. As she went to do so, Steven suddenly began to stir. She pulled her hand back a little as she witnessed this. Steven groaned and stirred for a few seconds before opening his eyes a little. 
He stared at the ceiling with glazed over drooped eyes. He looked exhausted and completely out of it as he stared at the ceiling. She looked at her watch for the time. 3:10am. She wasn't expecting him to wake up until at least later this morning. But that didn't matter.
"Steven?"
Steven's head tilted slightly towards her with his eyes half open. He only stared at her. Dr. Maheswaran sighs as her voice went more gentle.
"Hey, can you hear me?"
Steven only blinked at her as if he didn't hear her.
"Steven?" 
He once again blinked and stared at her for a few moments. After those few moments he spoke.
"C-Con'ie's...m-mooommmmm?" his voice was weak and slurred.
"Yes it's me," Dr. Maheswaran still spoke gently. "How are you feeling?"
Steven looked around for a moment before back at her.
"Ti'rrrrrdddd," he says back.
"I figured as much. Steven, do you remember anything from earlier?"
"Mmmm...r-remembbberrr n-not be'ng able t-to br'eaaatthhhhhh…"
"That's right."
Steven stares for a few seconds before his eyes widen slightly and starts trying to sit up.
"Whoa whoa whoa," Dr. Maheswaran was quick to grab his shoulders and gently lay him back down. "Don't sit up. You're still injured. You're under several sedatives so you would be more calm, but you could still get stressed." 
Steven glances down and lets out a sigh.
"I-I'm...s-sorrrryyyy...I d-d-didn't m-meaaannn to…"
Dr. Maheswaran shakes her head. "No it wasn't your fault. It was clear you weren't ready to hear information like that."
Steven looked down for a moment before looking back up at her.
"W-what...ha'ened to m-meeee? Y-you s'id I w-was in a...c-c-commmmaaa b-but...no'hing elssseee."
Dr. Maheswaran frowned as if debating rather to tell him everything that happened. She knew she couldn't wait too long to tell him, but she knew what his reaction would be. 
Then again, Steven was under a lot of medications that would keep him calm down...so if anything, Steven would less likely to have another panic attack once she told him what happened. She took a deep breath and looked at him.
"Ok, you deserve to know what happened. So...first off, do you remember anything that happened to you in the time of the incident?"
"U-ummm...th-the on'y thing I re-re-rememmmbbberrr, i-is the p'in sl-slightly a-annnnddd C-C-Conn'e...h-her f-face…"
Dr. Maheswaran looked at Steven and sighed.
"Yea...she was worried about you. Well, this isn't really an easy thing to say, but...your heart stopped on the way to the hospital."
Steven's eyes widened as his heart monitor spiked up slightly.
"W-wha?!"
"Hey hey, try and calm down, " she laid a hand on his shoulder, which thanks to the sedative, calmed him down almost immediately. "Bismuth and Connie helped restart your heart. It was stopped for a few minutes so there wasn't any lasting damage to your brain. However, your heart...did stop two more times during a 10 hour surgery…"
Steven's eyes widen again looking a little freaked out, but the sedative didn't allow him to freak out too much.
"H-how...h-h-how l'nngggg was I o-o-ooouuutttt?"
She sighs. "3 months."
"W-what?! But….but…"
"That's everything you need to know in terms of your state. Your father has been by your side mainly everyday since he was allowed to see you."
"I-I'm s'rry…I didn't me'n toooooo-."
"Don't be. This isn't your fault. What's important now is that you're awake and now you can properly recover."
"I c-c-can heaaalllll m'self…"
"I don't think your healing powers can fully heal this. The damage was pretty severe. Besides, the wound was pretty close to your wound, so your gem might've taken some damage even though it wasn't damaged physically."
"B-but I-."
"Steven…" Dr. Maheswaran sighs. "I just don't want you rushing this recovery even if your...gem powers somehow managed to heal your wound. Your body has been through a lot of trauma already as it is."
"B-but…"
Steven's eyes began to droop again as it looked like he was fighting to stay awake. Dr. Maheswaran noticed this and frowned.
"You can use more rest through."
"...'m…'m f'ne…"
"Steven, please just get some more rest. We can talk more about this later. Your father isn't the only one who's worried about you, you know."
Steven only stared at Dr. Maheswaran for a few seconds before his body gave out on him and forced him to fall back asleep. Dr. Maheswaran sighed as she rubbed Steven's forehead.
"You may not be my son, but I care about you like you are. Just please try to take time with this recovery alright?"
She sighs as she finishes her paperwork and leaves the room. She knew when she gets back for her next shift, she'll have a lot more to do with Steven.

=Chapter 1
Is this weird? Showing up to someone's place just for this stuff? Is this weird it's my sister's girlfriend's sister?
These were all questions Ruby Rose was asking herself as she rode the elevator of the Schnee Records building. She had been a couple of times with Yang and Weiss before, mainly for helping Weiss move out to their lakeside home. Other than that, she'd never stayed for an extended period. A few years ago she would have just died to be in here.
But she was there for an entirely different purpose today: to see Winter, whose number she obtained after their brief meeting in The Clamp. There were one or two initial debates against it, but after what felt like an eternity, Winter had agreed to assist Ruby in her first Pet Play experience. She promised a safe environment, with no strict rules. Just a fun test.
Winter had been busy for a couple of weeks herself, having to deal with all the media coverage the Schnee family was getting thanks to their new arrival, but she had managed to free up an evening for Ruby. As much as Ruby insisted it was no trouble moving it, Winter reassured her that she needed the time off, to focus on something other than making sure any news stories were purely casting a good light on her favourite couple.
Finally working up the courage to knock on the door, Ruby stood with her hands behind her back, idly hopping up and down on her toes as she waited.
Why did she ask for my sizes for clothes and stuff? Maybe this is weird… but hey, I guess we're behind closed doors. How bad can it be?
When the door creaked open, there stood Winter Schnee, towering over the younger girl by several inches. Her black leather boots and beige sweater-dress only left her knees exposed, which was quite conservative given what they were planning on doing with themselves that evening.
"Ruby," Winter said with a pleasant smile, almost a professional one. "Do come in. I was beginning to worry you might have reconsidered."
"Sorry I'm late! Somebody pushed all the buttons on the elevator for the way up here…" When that only roused suspicion, she laughed nervously, scratching the back of her head.
“Quite alright. I’m just glad you’re here now.”
Soon enough, she got over the initial nerves and stepped forward into the room. Everything was so classy! From the water feature to one side to the occasional potted plant. She expected nothing less from one of the Schnee daughters. Although, there was something out of place.
"I thought you were more of a pricey-wine kinda gal?" she asked, pointing at the abandoned beer bottle her roommate had left to one side the sofa.
"Drat," Winter sighed as she spotted it, dashing over to snatch it up. "I did have company earlier. Sorry about this - I tidied the whole room and somehow missed this!" Already heading for the kitchen, she asked over her shoulder, "What's your pleasure?"
"Huh? O-oh! Um, do you have anything strawberry-y?"
Ruby still couldn't believe the situation she was in. Her sister's fiancé's sister's apartment. Her idol's sister. No one would have believed it if she had not told Blake and Penny. But as much as she wanted to blog about it, she knew she couldn't. This arrangement was strictly confidential; no one apart from a select few could know no matter what. Either way, it was going to be a hell of an experience.
"You are… in luck!" Winter announced when she returned a few minutes later. In one hand, she had what looked to be a dry martini with two olives, and in the other, a bottle of what the label proclaimed to be "strawberry ale". The liquid inside certainly was red enough. "Only had the one in the far back, but I'm fairly certain these things don't go 'bad'." It was already open, and she proffered the bottle. "Something light to start off for you? I think it's fitting for this evening."
"Thanks! Yeah, I think I'm gonna need it…" she agreed, taking the bottle from her and lightly tapping it against Winter's glass before she took the first sip. After a moment of standing awkwardly, she took a seat on the sofa. Sat upright and professional, the poor girl looked as though she was about to have a job interview than more intimate acts!
"Sorry, I'm still so new to all this," she admitted, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
Of course, Winter did suppress a little chuckle, and even hid the wider smile behind her glass. It was too adorable, and she wanted to reach over and pinch her cheek.
"Just don't worry. We have the entire apartment to ourselves, and no one's going to judge you here. Tell me what's on your mind."
"No other company?"
“Nope.” Luckily so. Qrow was out at Taiyang's for the evening while they both took turns looking after the little one for Yang and Weiss. Not that Ruby was aware her uncle was living in Winter's apartment. That would have been a mood-ruiner.
Taking another gulp of ale to try and calm her nerves, she crossed her legs nervously. "To tell you the truth I… Have only really done sex stuff a few times. And that was completely vanilla stuff! My partner’s not into receiving, so I'm not gonna be too good at the giving part."
"Oh?" The elder woman was genuinely surprised. "Well… to tell you the truth, I hadn't been intending to do anything underneath the clothes tonight. Just to test you out with a few things here and there, try some commands. Get you acclimated." Her head tilted slightly to one side. "Did… you think you were going to walk in here and I would fuck you silly?"
She lifted her spare hand to twirl a strand of hair around her finger over and over again out of habit. Something to distract herself from how nervous she really was. With a light dusting of red to her cheeks, she said in a quieter tone. "Well, I mean… isn’t that what most of the people at that crazy club were doing?"
For a moment, Winter was silent as she watched Ruby fidget. Observed the healthy flush of youthful uncertainty in her cheeks. Then she took another sip of her martini, set it on the coffee table, and turned to face her fully.
"I wouldn't do that to you unless you asked for it specifically. And yes, by all means, the next time you come over - if there is a next time - I can jerk you in the front door and have your clothes off in under a minute. But not tonight. I want us to get used to each other and try some easy things."
Her reassurance was certainly starting to help. Quite visibly her shoulders slackened, and she took another sip of the beverage before smiling gratefully. "I appreciate it! I'm just… I dunno, I'm so nervous about being too weird about things. Last time someone only mentioned the stuff they did in a truth or dare game and I was completely losing it. And even that was nothing compared to the stuff at the club!"
Cringing slightly away, Winter laughed as she said, "It's alright, I… well, I'm a little surprised Blake and Sun threw you into the deep end like that, but I'm sure it certainly gave you a few ideas of things for us to try! As we have discussed off and on, of course."
"They kind of did, but I guess I needed it. For myself, I mean. At least now I can look into that sort of stuff for research and not have an internal freak out about it." Taking another sip of her drink, she suddenly seemed to smile whilst in the middle of a sip, drawing it away. "Like before they took me there, all I had to do was remember what Yang said about her and Weiss recording one of their strap on sessions and I'd be completely…"
The instant the later name left her lips, she froze up. She herself had grown numb to her sister talking about her moments with her lover - mainly since it was Weiss, who she did want to hear about. But no doubt for Winter, that would be the opposite.
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to, I-I mean I… We- um…"
"No, no, it's okay," Winter half-laughed, lowering her eyes to watch how Ruby kept fiddling with the hem of her black flounce skirt. It really suited the red tank top and red sneakers, but it was probably a little more leg than the younger woman was used to showing off - even if it was only her calves. If anything, the shapeliness of them was helping her ignore the mental image of their sisters engaging in acts that were better off not pictured.
However, to keep herself from getting a little TOO focused on Ruby's body, she took up her martini and sipped at it again. "So… over text, I believe we settled on a couple of things you wanted to try. First, just some 'first date' fun, like kissing and caressing. You also wanted to try the 'naughty schoolgirl', and the 'bad puppy', I think? Or did you decide about being written on like those twins in the club?"
Rather glad for the change of subject, she nodded reassuringly. Most of all she was glad Winter didn't think too badly of her for bringing up what her sister had done with hers in the bedroom. "The Bad Puppy is definitely one, but the writing part I'm still not sure. My partner's only condition to this is that she sees no evidence, so I don't wanna get marked then her to find it all over me, you know?"
"Oh, that's a good point. Hmm… alright, I'll try to keep any other marks to a minimum, as well." When Ruby's eyes widened, she grinned in understanding at her shock. "I'm not talking about anything extreme, just… hickeys are actually very easy to leave if you aren't paying attention, too."
"Oh, right yeah! I wasn't even thinking of hickeys but I… Guess they would…" Swallowing again, she quickly took another long swig of ale in an attempt to keep herself sane. The very thought of hickeys being something Winter could so easily accomplish was enough to make her feel nervous once again. The poor girl really was to be probably her least experienced sub.
Something about the way Ruby was so nervous was most definitely bringing out the Dom in Winter. She wanted to get started right away, to take control of the uncertain little thing and steer her in the direction she wished. But that would come in time.
"Listen… would you like to watch a movie with me?"
Taken aback by the sudden suggestion, she blinked for a moment, finally lowering the bottle from her lips as she swallowed again. "You mean… You actually want to, with me? Like, cover the actual 'first date' stuff?"
"I would. I mean, most of what I watch is documentaries, but feel free to select something else." Debating with herself for a few seconds, she decided to be forthright. "You seem willing to proceed, but not quite mentally prepared for it. The most sensible course of action is just take it off the table and come back to it later. You've never even been in my apartment before, have you?"
Yet again, Winter gave her relief. At least she wasn't all too disappointed in how nervous she seemed, or her strange requests for rather platonic things. She seemed more than willing to let her get used to things before they began their play.
"Not yours, no," Ruby admitted, putting the bottle down on the coffee table. "I went to Weiss's when she was moving out, but hers had barely anything really. You actually look like you… live here…"
With a quiet chuckle, Winter stood up from the sofa, carrying her drink along. "You're not wrong. Weiss never really made this building 'home'. Would you like the grand tour?"
Right away she seemed to brighten up again, collecting her bottle and giving a polite smile. "I'd like that! I have a feeling this apartment is probably bigger than my dad's house."
"Oh, I doubt that, but we'll see."
The tour didn't take that long. Winter led her through the dining room and kitchen, asking if Ruby wanted another drink; she declined, given that she was still working on the first. She didn't show her the spare bedroom, stating that it was just a mess of storage and not interesting. Then the bathroom, and wrapping up the tour…
"And this is the bedroom," she finished with a flourish. "Where the magic happens. Also, where sleep happens."
"Magic is good. Sleep is good too. Everything’s super good."
As the door opened to the bedroom, Ruby took in the various sights. The bed, with beams that looked too sturdy than was necessary, the various wardrobes, some that seemed locked for some reason. Everything pointed to this being a common place for her to bring back people for these activities.
"Everything is good," Winter echoed. Though she was still standing back by the door and gazing up and down Ruby's form. Considering possibilities. Then she cleared her throat and smiled. "Unless you want to try on some of my shoes or something, there isn't much else to see in here, I'm afraid. Not yet, anyway." The last was somewhat suggestive, but she was trying to keep it to a minimum until the girl was more comfortable.
"Sounds like you and Weiss have had too many slumber parties. Talking about swapping clothes, trying on shoes…" Ruby giggled to herself. Though she wanted to power herself into going in head first, she knew in her own mind it would be a bad move. She wasn't ready, and would need to be it they were going to go further. Relaxing for a while was a good idea.
“Does it sound like that?” Winter breathed with a melancholy smile.
Whoops. Ruby sensed she had stepped on a land mine. "So… movie?"
"Of course." Leaving the room behind them, along with its ominous possibilities, Winter went on, "Why don't I set you up with my Netflix so you can pick something good, and then I'll pop us some popcorn? Unless you're a bit hungrier. I have several takeout menus."
"Popcorn is fine! Unless you're hungry, in which case I'll have something. Or if you're not we'll just stick to popcorn, I'm easy like that." But upon realising the irony of that last sentence, how when she they were leaving the bedroom to head back to the living room again, she laughed nervously. "Foodwise, I mean."
After taking a minute to mull that over, she asked, "Just answer quick, don't overthink it; pizza or Chinese?"
It didn't even take her a few seconds to decide. "Not to sound stereotypical because I'm half that, but… Chinese."
"Well then, my little wonton," she chuckled. By this point, she had turned on the TV and was just getting Netflix pulled up, but she took a moment to smile over at Ruby. "I'll get the menu for Hunan Dragon. Anything you want is yours."
"Ooo! Do they do crispy noodles or mushroom chow mein? I love that!" She grinned happily, taking her seat on the sofa as she eagerly waited for Winter to return with the menu. Maybe the evening wouldn't be so bad after all.
---------------------------------------------
An hour later, they were about halfway through their selected film, and their cartons of noodles and rice. Winter had opted for something with a lot of vegetables and a very slight amount of spice, and Ruby had her beloved chow mein, and they split an order of crab rangoons between them. Both of them were on their second drinks; the cumulative effect was beginning to show in them, but the aid of food was keeping either woman from turning into a bumbling fool just yet.
"You know, I never understood these films," Winter was saying as she finished off the last of her white rice. That they had been sitting closer and closer had not escaped her, but she hadn't been forcing it, either. "Why is he a wizard? Why him and not his brother, the fat one?"
"Because Dudley's a muggle, he can't see magic – and he’s a cousin, so he didn’t get the magical bloodline. Plus, he's not very nice until the very last book, but the film deleted the scene where he and Harry forgive each other which always annoys me." Ruby commented, clearly a fan of the series considering she admitted to reading the books as well as seeing the films. Now that one bottle had been finished, she found the confidence to lean further back into the sofa, and barely even noticed she was leaning against Winter's shoulder.
"Maybe we should draw a lightning bolt on your forehead," Winter chuckled, poking the tip of her index finger into the bridge-rest of Ruby's glasses. "Or would Penny be upset about that?"
"Over a lightning bolt?" Weakly shrugging her shoulders in the end, she simply giggled to herself. "Well if we taped my glasses up, we could say it's a cosplay."
"But didn't the bushy-haired girl fix that?" Taking a calculated risk, she draped her arm around Ruby's shoulders. Her intoxication level was just enough that the action looked entirely natural instead of stiff or unsure.
As luck would have it, Ruby didn't notice. In fact, she leant into the action a little more, resting her head rather contentedly against Winter's shoulder and nuzzling into it. "Because he doesn't know the spell but Hermione does! He's gotta learn it."
Nodding, Winter laid her own head against Ruby's as she sighed. "Ah. Well, I guess that's why they're at this school, isn't it?" Then crossed her legs in the opposite direction as she settled in more. "Thank you for teaching me the ways of the wizards."
Giving a small nod, she nuzzled against Winter yet again. Thanks to the mingling alcohol in her system, and the warm presence, she felt more than comfortable doing so. No longer was she worried about the fact it was someone in such an odd relation to her. All she cared about was that the warmth was welcoming.
"Thank you for letting me! Penny isn't all too interested in Harry Potter, nor Yang. Never really been able to nerd about it."
Stroking very idly up and down Ruby's bicep, she said, "Really? I find that surprising; Penny seems exactly the type."
The idle stroking was starting to awaken something in her. She had cuddled Penny before in the same way against the sofa at home, even cuddled in bed before they went to sleep. But when she knew Winter's intentions for the evening, and her own for that matter, it seemed to be the first step to initiate things.
To try and give Winter the upper hand, she began to tilt her head more, exposing more of her neck for the woman she was leaning against. "Nah… she's more Star Wars."
"Now there's a franchise I really didn't understand. Seemed more of a 'boys club'. But I guess it isn't if your friend is a fan." Winter didn't miss the tilt of the neck, and couldn't help but focus on it for a moment. But then she forced her eyes back to the movie. Ruby might not have even been entirely aware she was doing it, and she didn't want to overstep her bounds. Not yet.
"Girlfriend." Ruby had to correct. Even if it seemed like a minor detail, it was something that a lot of people forgot. Understandable perhaps, with them not being the most intimate couple, but it was important to Ruby.
And yet there she was, having agreed to come to another's apartment to engage in very intimate acts. Acts that she was still trying to leave hints she was ready for at last by leaving her neck exposed, and stroking one of Winter's legs idly.
The hand on the leg was a much more obvious green light than anything else. One Winter seized upon. "Sorry, 'girlfriend' it is," she said, raising the hand that had been on her arm to her neck and grazing the very tips of her fingernails up and down the skin. "I didn't want to make an assumption, and it seems I did in the other direction."
"It's okay. It's just not a… sexual… relationship." Now they were getting somewhere. The tips of her nails were creating small sensations of their own, right in such a sensitive part of her. One that didn't receive much attention from her partner apart from the odd peck. Continuing to stroke Winter's legs, she further adjusted her position, shuffling a little closer.
"I… have a question to ask you, if you don't mind," Winter breathed, her voice intentionally sensual as the scratching continued, as she bobbed one calf up and down to show she had noticed where Ruby's hand was. "But I don't have to ask it. We can go back to Harry and his wizardly world if you want."
Is this it? It was all she could ask herself. She had no idea what to expect, but assumed this would lead to the activities they had chatted about. Only one way to find out.
"What's that?"
No backing down now. Raising her neck up, Winter also gently pushed Ruby's upright so that she could stare into her eyes, holding her silvery gaze.
"Sorry if this isn't very sexy, but it's important." Clearing her throat, she went on, "You may be intoxicated. As you are, I can't just assume you're willing to… do things. Not like I would if you were definitely sober. I have to ask, and hear a clear answer. Am I allowed to kiss you?"
"…Oh." Well, it was one of her requests. Kissing was something she was reasonable at, something she and Penny did occasionally. But it was something she wanted to improve on. With a nod, she smiled. "Yes."
"For future reference," Winter breathed as she began to stroke the side of Ruby's neck again, turning in her seat so that they were facing each other properly, "am I allowed to touch your body?"
It sent another shiver down her spine. Oh how good that attention felt… she craved more of it, more attention to her body in general. If Winter could entice her by stroking her neck alone, what more was she capable of?
"You are."
A light smile pulled at her lips as the hand raised to tease lightly across cheek and temple. "Am I allowed… to take off your glasses, Harry?"
A smile that was mirrored in Ruby's own face. However, that was accompanied by the biting of her lip. Feeling a small bout of confidence for herself, she whispered, "If you'd like… or you could do that in the bedroom?"
"Hmm…" Reaching up, she gently pulled the glasses down her nose until they slipped out from behind her ears. Her mouth opened in a small, pretend-gasp. "Well, look at that; I can do it just fine right here."
"But I was trying- I- ugh, I have no game!" Her attempt at seduction seemed to have failed. But it did at least get that small barrier out of the way. She was still smiling back at Winter rather than fleeing. And she still had a hand on her thigh.
"I hope this isn't too forward," Winter told her as the fingers slid down to her neck, "but you are absolutely beautiful." Their noses were almost touching. "Very much so."
"What? My glasses?" she tried to joke, leaning in so their noses touched. Maybe that would give Winter that little bit more incentive to begin.
"Did I say you, or your glasses?" The question may have been rhetorical, but she wasn't above driving her point home as her lips came to within a hair's breadth of Ruby's. Then she breathed, barely a whisper, "With or without them, you're stunning."
"Thank you." Usually she would argue, be unable to take such a compliment. But when it was coming from Winter Schnee, it seemed only fair that she take it. Why would Winter lie, anyway?
When she noticed how close their lips truly were, she finally let them reach their goal. Going forward the final fraction of an inch, she allowed her lips to come into contact with Winter's, kneading against them gently.
The kiss was not overly emotional, not a hungry, needy one such as might have taken place if the two of them were romantically interested in one another. But that wasn't to say Winter didn't allow her carnal desires to show through slightly as her lips pushed against Ruby's over and over, as their bodies drew slightly closer the longer it went on.
As time flew by, the two had ended up shuffling their bodies together onto the sofa. Ruby lay eagerly on top of the more dominant woman, kissing back with just as much energy as Winter was putting in. It was a slow, intimate kiss. One clearly to set the pace of how they wanted their evening to go. Anything more would have ruined the moment.
Though Winter was about to up the pace, now that they had at least grown a little more accustomed to the closeness. One hand remained just behind her head, but the other was gliding further down her back, resting just above her hindquarters, rubbing in light circles.
A soft hum sounded from her. A hum that showed she approved of Winter's actions. And when she pushed her backside more against Winter's hand to encourage more contact, it was clear that she was ready to take things up a notch. So she tried to make a few moves of her own, placing one hand on Winter's neck to hold her in place, and the other against her hip, running up and down her side slowly.
Then Winter's hand drifted past her end to begin hitching up her skirt, and inch at a time. It didn't take long to get it bunched enough to touch her thigh directly, which she did so, lightly, teasing. At the same time, she also allowed her own mouth to fall open; should Ruby be ready for that, the way was now clear for her.
This is so nice… Winter is a good kisser. Yet again, she was fretting at herself internally, but she took the chance. Allowing her tongue to enter, she seemed to be beaming happily when they connected, allowing them to brush against one another slowly. No fierce battles, just gentle contact.
I wonder if Weiss kisses like this… I mean, they are sisters. Then she verbally berated herself, Oh my god… do NOT think about that, Ruby Rose. Do NOT think about how she looks like Weiss! That’s not cool! Winter is her own person, and she’s really hot! And nice!
For a few minutes, they remained like that, Winter's hand just resting on the back of Ruby's bare thigh and their tongues dancing with each other in a sensuous ballet. The more they writhed back and forth, the more she wanted, until she finally withdrew to gaze up at her, panting and breathless.
"You… are a quick study, Ruby."
Completely red, Ruby could only smile back giddily to the older Schnee. She knew not if it was to do with the alcohol, or just from how good the kiss was. Either way, it had accomplished what they wanted; she was feeling more than prepared to progress.
"Then teach me more," she encouraged, stroking Winter's side again.
Winter held her gaze as she slid her hand up to grip Ruby's rear firmly. Then she let out a small chuckle. "Are these silk? Very nice."
"EEP!" Feeling something as basic as Winter grasping one of her cheeks was enough to make that blush deepen, and she already looked a sight! But rather than edge away from the hand, she nodded, remaining still.
"Y-yeah… I really, really like silk, even… if I’ve never had any before today."
"I have some in the fridge." When Ruby's eyebrows drew together, she laughed, one of the most full laughs she had given in the girl's presence. "Silk. You know… the soy milk. Sorry, bad joke."
"Soy milk, huh?" She giggled at Winter's attempt at humour. She really was like her sister in that respect. No, time to cut that thought off before it came back again. And to do so, she bit her lip for a moment, before leaning in toward her ear and whispering, "It's got a matching bra, too."
Shivering slightly, Winter held her in place and whispered back in kind, "I wouldn't mind seeing that."
"Then…" Biting her lip once again, she looked into the icy blue eyes of her elder, and then toward the rear hallway leading to the bedrooms. "Do you wanna…?"
The smile she got in return was the barest amount more wolfish than any Winter had allowed herself up until that point. "You know things will move a lot faster once we're in there," she breathed as she sat up, kissing her lips briefly again. "Is that what you want?"
With the hand still on her rear, she allowed a moment to clench herself slightly against it, but it brought on an even bigger grin. She liked it, and was prepared for the pace to increase. "You bet."
However, Winter had something else in mind that Ruby might not have been prepared for. In a single fluid motion, she rose from the sofa and swept the smaller woman into her arms, sneakers dangling off to one side as she gazed down into her wide eyes.
"Shall we, then?"
There was another surprised yelp from Ruby. Within an instant, she threw her arms around Winter's neck for balance, looking back up into the icy blue eyes again. Once used to the weightless feeling of being in another's arms, she allowed herself to giggle. "We shall!"
And so Winter carried her down the hallway to her bedroom. By the time they entered, however, she was panting and had to drop Ruby quite heavily onto the bed.
"Whoo! Sorry, it's… not that you're heavy, just that my usual… yoga routine doesn't include so much… lifting!"
There was one more smaller yelp when she landed on the bed, but the instant she looked up at Winter's exhausted expression, she laughed to herself, quickly sitting up to face her. "Well I could have walked it if you were that tired! But y’know, that was fun!"
Taking a deep breath in, Winter let it out slowly, smiling down at her project for the evening. "Now… you had something you wanted to show me?" She was teasing, and it was obvious, but it was also part of the game.
The laughter slowly began to die down with Winter's words. She did somewhat want to show Winter that easily, but somehow she knew Winter wouldn't prefer that. She'd prefer to work for it. Therefore, she pushed her skirt downward again, covering back up the first item that was on show.
"Noooope?"
"Ohhhh," Winter replied, catching on to the teasing tone. "Well then… can I start here?" Her hand reached up to brush the tank top strap on Ruby's shoulder.
Taking a quick gaze at what she was doing, Ruby found her cheeks going red once again. But she nodded in approval. It was just the one sleeve for now, but no doubt she knew Winter would be taking the entire top off.
"That reminds me…" she trailed off, stopping Winter from progressing. "Why did you want my clothing sizes?"
"Don't worry about that right now," she reassured her gently as she traced her fingertip over the strap. Red. That told her Ruby was definitely in the state of mind to do fun things together, and had been in the planning of their evening. To that end, she asked, "Are you ready for me to get you out of these clothes?"
Despite her previous want for Winter to work at it, she was too desperate to see what the night entailed. Too eager to keep going. With a small nod, she raised her arms for Winter to do as she pleased. "Ready."
With no further delay, Winter began to peel the tank up and over Ruby's head, tossing it up toward the pillows. Then she ran her hands over the smooth stomach that had been revealed, gentle and attentive.
"I like your bra," she told her quite simply. "Red is your colour, definitely."
Smiling back warmly, she leant into Winter's touch willingly. It felt good to have such soft hands making their way over its surface, especially those of Winter Schnee. "Thank you," she whispered. "Everyone else seems to think so. E-everyone that I've shown, I mean."
"Do you show a lot of people your bra? Interesting…" But then she laughed to show she was only joking as the hands slid down Ruby's hips and legs, removing her shoes. Then she glanced down… and snorted with further laughter.
"You have socks with bunnies on them."
Ruby ended up covering her face with her hands, groaning outward in embarrassment. Instinctively she drew her legs back in, trying to keep them out of Winter's view. "UGH, I knew I shoulda picked a plain pair!"
Still chuckling, Winter patted her calf. They were no-shows; it was easily enough remedied, and she didn't want to embarrass Ruby any more than was necessary. Not when they were still growing used to each other. In a heartbeat, her fingers and thumbs pinched between the two longest toes on each foot and yanked the socks free, dropping them on top of the sneakers.
"Problem solved. See? Don't worry about it, I was only teasing."
Slowly dragging her hands down her face again, she began to peek over them, trying still to keep her blush hidden from Winter. But a sign that she appreciated such reassurance came when she brought her leg forward, and lightly tapped Winter’s shoulder with her foot. "Just don't want to ruin the mood."
"You haven't," he promised her, catching the foot and kissing the soft curve of her calf muscle. "Relax. I'm going to slip into something more comfortable, if you don't mind."
"Not at all." She began to smile. Although, her hands had began to train down her own body teasingly, until they got to the waistline of her skirt. In an attempt to be just as sultry as Winter, she half closed her eyes. "Do you want me to remove this for when you get back?"
"Please, if you prefer." Then she opened her wardrobe, acquired a couple of things that she hid behind herself, and backed toward the Japanese folding screen. "I'll try not to take too long, but if I do… well, you can help yourself to another drink."
"I think you're trying to get me drunk," she joked, but continued to smile and giggle to herself as Winter vanished behind the screen. In a quick movement, she had her skirt off and on the floor with the rest of her clothes, and lay back on the bed by herself.
Okay Ruby, be sexy. And be you. Be sexy-you! And don't think about how much she looks like Weiss or how much you want to blog about this!
That last thought had her covering her face yet again. Why couldn't she get that thought out of her mind? Weiss was with her sister, engaged to her sister! Thinking such thoughts about her was wrong, especially when she was about to be sleeping with someone else. And yet, she had pined for Weiss for years before Yang started working for her. Those feelings weren't going to vanish easily.
Alright! Just… Just don't end up calling her name or something. That'd be humiliating.
Meanwhile, there were a few ominous noises from behind the screen. Clinking and clunking. Had Winter been wearing a belt before? Not that she had seen. It certainly was taking a while for her to finish.
"Almost done, I promise!" Winter grunted eventually.
"O-okay!" While she was waiting, she thought she might as well make an effort to appear appealing, and so raised her hands either side her head. She remembered the few poses she'd managed to see in a few magazines and attempted to copy one of them, to try and appear as sexy as possible with one hand on her hip, lying on her side.
Yeah, nailed it.
When Winter came out from behind the screen, she was wearing a silky, pale blue kimono-style robe over a matching negligee. Nothing more. She had even taken her hair out of its usual bun, and it cascaded down her shoulders in gentle waves of platinum.
"Oh…" Turning her gaze toward the older woman as she lay back on the bed, she found her cheeks lighting up again. Beautiful, again something like she'd find in a magazine, like she'd aimed for in the first place. It was enough to entice her, flatter Winter's form, and put her at ease all at once.
Okay... Winter is no consolation-Weiss. She’s a heck of a woman all on her own. Don’t screw this up, Ruby!
"Do you like it? I…" Winter hesitated, then looked down a little bashfully. "I've actually never had occasion to wear it for someone. I mean, you know what sort of activities I usually get up to, and they don't involve… well, I'd be wearing something with more spikes."
"Or nothing, I guess. It does look really pretty, and suits you!"
The tiniest bit of pink was in Winter's cheeks now. "Thank you. And you look fantastic in that, honestly." Planting herself on the side of the bed, she reached over to trace a hand up and down Ruby's thigh. "Enticing."
"I tried my best. I didn't know what you'd like or if you even liked girls that much, so I… figured I'd try something out." She smiled, watching Winter's every move eagerly. Those hands could work miracles, she was sure.
"Normally, I'm not dead set against them or especially interested. But you're very… persuasive somehow." Leaning down, she pressed her lips into the flat surface just above Ruby's navel. It was such a light touch, like the whisper of a ghost. It was enough to coax a giggle from her, and to continue to watch Winter's actions.
So she was one of a few, eh? Or one of the only ones? That was unexpected. It was certainly enough to make the girl feel very special. And all she wanted to do was please her elder.
Which reminded her… "I think," she began, licking her lips lightly from nerves. "I think I wanna try the bad puppy first."
"We can do that," Winter sighed, kissing lower. Then she paused, eyes turning upward without the rest of her face doing so. "Or that is… did you mean right now?"
Biting her lip once again, she hesitated. Winter seemed to want to finish her with her mouth already. Maybe that was her plan, to finish once regularly and then begin play after. Such a prospect was making her redder in the face again, and her nerves grew. But play took preparation and set up. It would buy a lot of time for her to prepare for if she did actually let herself be pleasured tonight, and she'd be able to do something for Winter first. With that in mind, she nodded.
"Y-yeah. Yes, please."
"Oh." Winter sat back a little, blinking in obvious surprise. "Well… alright, I suppose we could… yeah."
"J-just so you're not waiting around too long, I mean! I want this to be fun for you, too, so… it’s a party for… everybody!" She fumbled at her words again, nerves seeming to resurface within her. But at the very least, she was willing herself to keep going.
Winter crawled up to lay next to Ruby, draping her arm around her middle. She leaned in as if to kiss her, but turned to whisper into her ear at the last moment. "I was already having fun. Remember when we discussed the 'first date' experience? That's what I was going for. And I was really enjoying it."
"Oh…" Now she felt a fool. That little lie made her out to be assuming things out of place. That wouldn't do. Finally moving her hands from the elegant position she'd kept herself in all this time, she rolled to face her, looking up nervously. "Then… can we keep kissing and hugging a while then? I’m not sure I wanna do more stuff just yet."
"Absolutely." There wasn't even a moment's hesitation, and she had been smiling gently the entire time. "And we don't have to do 'more stuff' at all." Pressing her lips into Ruby's, she slid the arm around to push into her back and hold them closer together, eyes sliding closed.
To accept that response, Ruby slid her arms around Winter in return. One hand went straight into her long, platinum hair, holding her head against her so they could continue to kiss longer. The other had began to rub up and down her back.
"Silk…" She couldn't help but smile to herself, eager to touch more softness, to embrace it. It was a little thing, but one she loved.
A lot sooner than their previous kiss, their tongues were sliding together, and now their bare legs were tangling, holding each other in a tighter embrace still. A heated little groan floated out of Winter's throat into the space between their lips at the pleasant sensations. And Ruby returned the favour. She continued to slide her tongue against Winter's, humming with interest at the sensations. Unable to help herself, she managed to sneak one of her legs between Winter's, using it to bring her in closer.
Another unintended side effect was a soft moan she made into her mouth. One that clearly signalled something. Once the leg glided up high enough, Winter hummed again, the slender thigh pressing into her through the silk material of her nightie. She found herself completely fascinated with the way Ruby could be both frightened and bold at the same time; such a unique paradox.
Eventually, Ruby broke away the kiss with one final moan of her own. But it wasn't over yet. She continued to embrace the older woman, cuddle her up closely and feel around her body. That counted at the first date experience, right? To cuddle and kiss in undies?
That was when Winter remembered something else Ruby seemed to enjoy. Her mouth sought out the vulnerable neck, kneading into it and grazing it with her teeth every so often as they shifted against each other.
"Oooh…" Ruby seemed to purr out, allowing her eyes to fall shut while her fragile neck was attacked and kissed. It was one of her weaknesses, more than she cared to admit. On the odd occasion Penny was feeling up to things, it was always the first place she aimed for. Gripping more of the silken clothing, she relaxed into the various fussings over her body, growling with delight at them all. Silken clothes and soft lips - she was in heaven!
"You smell divine," Winter told her after a few more minutes of light play. Her hands and legs had not moved any further, though every once in awhile, her hips rolled slightly up against the thigh.
"So do you." She hadn't really thought about it before, but she did. It was a soft fragrance that reminded her of the cold air, like on the rare holiday they used to take in the northern states for skiing. But how contradictory it was that Winter smelled so cold, yet made her feel so warm in an embrace.
One of the woman's experienced fingers slid up Ruby's back just under the strap of her bra, grazing up and down lightly. There was no move made toward the clasp, only to titillate the skin that had been hiding underneath. And she gasped. Though Ruby was prepared for this eventuality, she didn't think Winter would be so eager! Even if it was just to touch the skin beneath, it was more than welcome. In fact…
"Do you want it off?" she asked, backing her head away for a moment so she could look into those icy blue eyes again.
"Do you want it off?" Winter countered easily, though her hand withdrew from under the straps to rest very gently against the clasp. "I want what you want."
She didn't answer with words. Only with a more confident action. Reaching behind her, she managed to unclasp the bra rather easily, soon bringing it forward and off her chest. After throwing it aside with the rest of her clothes, she looked back to Winter for her approval.
But all Winter did at first was to lean down and leave light kisses on the top of each breast, well away from the sensitive peaks. Then she leaned her head up again to leave a tiny peck on the tip of her nose.
Giggling yet again, Ruby could only continue to smile. Winter truly did know how to put her at ease, with every little step. Even when half naked, she didn't feel afraid. In fact, the light kisses had her feeling something very strange. Empowered.
Speaking of which… "I think I'm ready now. For real, this time."
"Ready for what?" Then she made sure to follow up with, "You can tell me, or show me. Whichever works for you. Also, you can feel free to do whatever you want to me tonight if you feel up to some exploration."
"Ready to begin… playing," she clarified. Slightly hunching her shoulders as she smiled up at Winter, she then looked over toward the wardrobe. Winter had seemed to very quickly get what she wanted, then suddenly shut it before Ruby could get a good look. No doubt there were more items in there for these methods of play. "I'm pretty curious how you'll dress me up."
Chuckling, Winter left one last kiss on Ruby's cheek before rising. “You say that now. We’ll see.”

@oblvions @shes-outta-sight @lazingonsunday @karrotkate @satans-helper thank you all for the tags 💗💕
A buttload of info about me:
Last thing I read: "Lovers" by @satans-helper 😍😍😍
Favorite Book: The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle
Favorite Movie: Beetlegeuse
Dream Date: Imagine this: a nice, plush couch, covered in down pillows and fluffy blankets. There is a fire in the brick fireplace, the wood smoke combines with the scent of Nag Champa incense and the homemade treats that cover the low table next to the couch. There are brownies, bread rolls, cheeses, bowls of fruit, dipping sauces, cakes, sandwiches - a whole feast of my favorite foods. My partner and I would cuddle up on that couch, listening to my favorite symphonies on the record player in the corner and talking for hours. This isn't really a first date thing, more like an established relationshil date, but god I'd love to just spend an afternoon surrounded with my favorite things and my favorite person.
Do I have a crush?: Not really. There are people I find very very attractive (a friend, Sam Kiszka, Duff Mckagan in his 20s, Lucy Lui) but nobody that I'm actually romantically and sexually into.
Hobbies: Swimming, observing nature, browsing Pinterest, daydreaming, writing, reading, making art, singing, listening to music, love to cook
My favorite time of day: late afternoon, right before the sun sets. I'm usually free to do what I like, the temperature starts to drop, I can watch the sun... it's nice
If I could choose what I looked like, anything, what would it be?: I want tattoos, and more piercings, I'd love to change my hair color again - it's been natural for awhile but I think I want either burgundy or bright blue. WINGS! I kind of want giant, strong fairy wings, and maybe glowing eyes, a forked tongue, and tattoos that move and change (kinda like Maui lol)
Am I romantic?: Yeah, I'd say I am. I love to treat people, friends and significant others, but I'd be especially affectionate and romantic for a partner. I'm constantly buying gifts and things that remind me of them, cooking for them, planning dates and buying tickets for things I know they like, quietly taking care of stuff I know they need to do, cuddling, complimenting... I love to shower my partner in affection 24/7
My favorite kind of weather: Late Autumn, generally. About 55ºF, cloudy but not raining, windy
What do I like to talk about?: Lol I talk a whole lot and I've probably talked about everything at some point. One of my close friends and I particularly love to debate religion, mythology, magic, history, and the intersections of those. We also regularly plan heists and crimes lmao
My turn-ons: Long eyelashes, pouty lips, dirty hands (motor oil, paint, flour, etc), sarcasm, seeing someone get excited about something, compassion, casual physical affection
My turn-offs: Nastiness without a reason, knees (I just think knees look weird idk), Trump supporters, 100% pessimism (I understand being depressed or doubtful or being generally a pessimist, but if you adamantly refuse to see anything in a good light and try to ruin it for others f u c k y o u)
If I got a tattoo, what would it be and where?: ohhh I want tattoos so bad but I'm saving up and I'm not certain about some yet.... but I know that I'm getting a tree of life matching with my mom, I want mushrooms, pine trees, lavender, wildflowers (all for personal reasons). I'd also like to make maybe a charm bracelet of sorts with little charms for my favorite bands, books, movies, and other peices of media. I know that interests change and I might not like something in 30 years, but I see my life in periods of interests and I want to catalogue the things that shaped me
My pets: I have 3 cats - Pumpkin Pie, Lady, and Sweetheart
My dream job: I just want to live a free life doing what I want. I want to grow my own food for the most part, and raise animals, and paint, and write, and play music, and go on random adventures, go antiquing, decorate my home from my travels, learn without expectations - I don't want to exchange a fulfilling life for financial security from some mundane modern job.
My dream place to live: Secluded, in the forests of Oregon (or maybe Pennsylvania idk) on the bottom third of a mountain, on my own little farm
My dream vacation: I just wanna go explore historical landmarks and buildings
My dream house: A beautiful historical house -- like an 1870s American farmhouse, or a craftsman cottage, or a Victorian painted Lady, or maybe a New York brownstone -- filled with antiques and records and books and artifacts that I've collected. I LOVE antiques so much, everything would be of fine craftsmanship, it would be lavish and inviting and packed with interesting items at every turn (I want my house to be a curios shop lol) I also want a big ass kitchen and nice woodwork, I literally get horny over original built ins
My piercings: Sadly, I only have my standard ear piercings right now, but I think I'll get more soon. A nose ring, eye brow bar (yes I know that's so 2000s but I like them), probably 4 more on each ear, navel, nipples
If I had kids, what would I name them?: I love older, interesting names, so - Euphemia, Hartford, Monroe, Malory, Louise (me lol), August, Fredrick
My worst traits: I'm incredibly stubborn; I love talking to people but I'm awkward; lazy and don't care; I'm a bit of a collector/hoarder; I bottle up any anger or sadness I feel so I don't inconvenience others
My best traits: I love to give and help; I try to make people comfortable around me/in my home; I have excellent taste; I appreciate quality, culture, and creativity; I have many interesting interests that I'm eager to share and learn more about; I'm very creative
My worst fear: a painful death - I'm not afraid of dying, even though I'd rather not, I just don't want it to hurt
What do I want to eat right now?: Well, considering that I just ate my first bit of solid food in 3 days and immediately had to run to the bathroom... nothing
My favorite vacation memory: *blushes* my first kiss AND nearly my first time (we went like halfway): making out with this dude, son of my mom's friend, at my family cabin
My favorite city: I really don't know. Timber, OR, let's say
My favorite social media platform: Tumblr or Pinterest (does that count?)
My favorite article of clothing: My leather motorcycle jacket. I can't actually ride a motorcycle (trying to remedy that because *sexy*) but I got it a few years ago and it makes me feel so fucking badass. It's heavy, about 15 pounds of good quality leather, has lots of secret pockets in the lining and some cool looking zippers and studs, but nothing crazy. It's hella warm and comfy, I wear it everyday it's cold enough to
Do I play any sports?: pfft no. I like to swim, and I'm interested in baseball and tennis, but I suck at them and also I just don't like team sports
My favorite meal: What I order when I go to Buffalo Bills - a pesto/feta/mozzarella/Italian sausage/basil/tomato/garlic pizza, with homemade potato chips and chunky blue cheese dressing for dipping. If I had room, I'd finish with Marionberry cheesecake pie from Sherri's (but I am incredibly sick and have no faith in getting better enough so I feel like I'll never be able to eat like this again)
What am I excited for?: The winter holidays! I'm atheist, so Christmas is all about the personal stuff and non religious family traditions for me. I love the decorations, the music, seeing my family, baking, giving and receiving presents, it's all just so fun
What am I not excited for?: Cleaning my room, it really really needs it though. Also just continuing to live like this. I'm not suicidal, I'm just in a lot of pain constantly and I don't know what to do
When was the last time I cried?: an hour or so ago, I'm in loads of pain right now
What is something I hate about the world?: There's too much to choose from
What is something I love about the world?: children and nature
My favorite scents: vanilla, lavender, pine, Nag Champa incense, BBQ meat, pizza with basil, rosemary, my Dad's cologne
Cats or dogs?: kitties 💗
What kind of sleeper am I?: A weird one lol. I can't lay on my stomach for more than 15 minutes without it making me incredibly nauseous for the rest of the day, but it's also my favorite way to sleep cause its comfy somehow... I can't lay on my back without a pillow either, 30 seconds in and the nerves pinch so bad I'm screaming. I snore, and I sleep deep, but it takes a long time to fall asleep and usually only beeping or banging noises wake me up??? Like I said, I sleep weird
How long would I survive in a zombie apocalypse?: I really don't know. I have some skills and the drive to learn to fight, but I am currently, as I'm sure y'all can tell, very sick and I don't think I'd be able to live with so much movement and so little medicine
Am I trusting?: Generally, I probably trust too much but I'm not gonna stop
What fictional characters do I identify with?: there are many I like but none I identify with
My most common labels: Mom friend, butch, that weird fat chick (doesn't bother me tho), the well behaved daughter, old soul
My life's anthem: I really am not sure if this is a good anthem song but I love it so so much... Take Me In Your Arms (Rock Me A Little While) by Kim Weston - you see where I get my love of long titles lol
Problems I'm dealing with: my health and whatever painful sickness is wrecking me, figuring out what to do with my life, saving money, getting my anxiety under control, getting the house to actually heat up because I'm cold as fuck
How can someone win me over?: let me express my interests and feelings, show kindness, be funny
What is something people don't know about me?: Idk
Not tagging anyone, this took over an hour

Fic!
Hi, (waves energetically), I wrote an actual fic.   I feel like I should preface this by saying I was very active in fandom a while ago, and I just got burned out so quickly, and then the ship went sideways for 5 seasons!    However, it taught me never to trust TPTB.    But since I have started watching The 100 I have been inspired again!    I can’t believe it.   This isn’t beta’d so all mistakes are mine.    This is gen fic, though Bellamy and Clarke are together during it, cause of course they get their shit together!   This is speculation fic.   Because I’m obsessed with the idea that Kane is Bellamy’s father.
Fathers Day
Post-Canon, canon compliant
(Everything I know about DNA profiles I learned from CSI or NCIS)
Abby makes a startling discovery running DNA profiles
***
“We aren’t floating a 22 year old boy for something his mother decided when he was six!” Marcus roared at the council.   He couldn’t believe they were debating this.   The boy had had no say in what his mother did, he did the best he could with the circumstances and he certainly couldn’t have been expected to turn his mother in.
“Careful, Marcus, people might think you have a heart.” Abby told him, they may be co-council members, but she really didn’t like the man.
“We’ll put it to a vote,” Jaha told them.   Abby was shocked when it was unanimious.   “OK, we’ll spare Mr. Blake.”
Abby sat in front of her computer, stunned beyond belief.    With Eden settled, things were calmer around them.   Octavia was taken care of, those who had spent 6 years in the bunker were healing.   Clarke and Bellamy had resumed their natural place as leaders of the rag tag crew of survivors.   Grounder, sky person, spacekru, they were all working together to form some kind of civilzation around them.
One of the things that was forefront in everyone’s mind was repopulation, Abby and Jackson had taken on a project to catalog everyone’s DNA to test for genetic anamolies that may be passed to children.   It wasn’t something she relished doing, in fact Clarke had fought her on it, but ultimately Bellamy was able to convince her that maybe it wasn’t a step in the wrong direction.
“They did it on the Ark,” Abby had told them.    “We used them to track down criminals.”    Bellamy was easier to convince, and Abby wondered if maybe he had an ulterior motive.
However, what she was seeing in front of her was unbelievable.   “Jackson, go get Clarke, Kane and Bellamy.”   Jackson gave her a quizzical look but as always did whatever Dr. Griffin wanted him to do.
A few minutes later, Kane walked in.  “You wanted to see me?” he asked her.   
“Yes we are waiting on Bellamy and Clarke to get here first.”   One of the things her time on earth, and even her time in the Ark had taught her was the secrets hurt, and she wasn’t having any more of this one.    At least she thought it was a secret.   She couldn’t imagine a world where anyone else knew about this.
“Uh, you might be waiting a few more minutes for that, I, uh, knocked on her door but she wasn’t there.”  Jackson looked from Kane to Abby and then to the floor.   “So, then I went to his door and well…”
“Jackson, you aren’t the first person who has figured that out.”  Abby told him, that was another secret that was going to come out today.   Not that it was much of a secret to begin with, they weren’t exactly being subtle, the stolen looks, how everyone knew if you couldn’t find one go look in the others quarters.
“Well, she said they would be here in a minute.”
A few minutes later Abby glanced up as first Clarke, then Bellamy walked in the door.   Both looking like they wanted to be somewhere else.
“Mom, this had better be good, Bellamy and I were discussing something very important.” Clarke looked over at Bellamy as his face turned red and he turned from the group giving off a very fake cough.
Jackson spoke up first, he didn’t know what this was all about just what his part in it had to be.  “So, these are the DNA profiles we have been taking in the past few weeks.”   He punched up the first slide.
“I don’t expect you guys to be able to read this, but trust me when I tell you what these readings mean.   This, is a DNA profile of mother and daughter, you can see the shared DNA in red.”   She was showing a page that was obviously her and Clarke.
“OK,” Kane said staring at Abby.   Bellamy looked over at Clarke with a wondering look in his eye.
“This is a DNA profile of brother and sister who share the same mother.”  Jackson clicked over to the next slide.
“Me and O.”   Bellamy that time.
“Yes, and this is a DNA profile of father and son,” Abby said as Jackson clicked to the next slide.
“David and Nathan?” Kane asked, though that wasn’t possible
“No,” Abby shook her head.   “These are recent DNA tests, not ones from the Ark.   I found this by accident cycling through different profiles looking for different matches.
“Mom, what are you saying?”
“I’m saying there is a father and son in this camp that we didn’t know about earlier,” she looked right at Kane as she said it.
“So, it’s probably just random Grounders,” Bellamy told her.
“No, these are elevated radiation levels from being in space.   Besides, I know who they belong to.”   Abby was still glaring at Kane, his face was stone, maybe he didn’t know.
“Marcus, say something,” she begged.   “Did you know?”
“No,” he shook his head looking straight ahead at Abby.   She guessed he was afraid to look at Bellamy.   Who still looked like he had no idea what was going on.   Bellamy had always been the easiest person to read anyway, like Abby he was the heart of the operation.
“We aren’t going to float a 22 year old kid for something his mother decided when he was 6.  That is what you said at the council meeting, you stood there for 15 minutes arguing not to float Bellamy after we found Octavia.   You had never fought for anyone not to be floated, ever.   The law is the law, it was what you always said.”
“Abby, you have to believe me I didn’t know.”   Abby and Kane were in each others faces fighting.   
“You had to have known, Marcus, it was a small ship, you never asked her?”
“Once when I realized she was pregnant, once again when y--” he tried to turn to Bellamy but found that he couldn’t do it, “he was five.   And once more before she was floated.   She always told me no.”
Marcus finally turned to look at Bellamy, but he still had that stone look on his face.   Abby thought maybe he was about to snap.
“That was because she loved you.  She told me once when I was about 8 that her and my father were from two different worlds and that no person from Alpha station would ever be able to settle down with a seamstress, so it was easier to do it on her own than with a man who would only marry her to make things right.   So she never told you.”
“You knew?” Marcus asked.
“That it was you, no.”  Bellamy spun then, grabbing Marcus by his jacket.  “I’m only going to ask you one question, one time, if you answer me and don’t lie, I won’t beat you to a pulp.”
“Bellamy, don’t.”   Clarke said, reaching out to grab Bellamy’s arm.   
“It’s okay, Clarke.” Marcus told her, remembering a time so long ago when Bellamy had called him off when Octavia beat the crap out of him.
“Are you O’s father, too?”
“No,”  Marcus answered and Abby nodded her head in agreement.
“We ran a DNA test on Octavia after we found her.  Her father had died 5 years earlier.”
“Probably would have floated him too,” Bellamy barked out, releasing Marcus back to the ground.   He turned and stormed out of the room, Clarke hot on his heels.
“Abby you have to believe me, I didn’t know.   We were young and stupid and I cared about her.  If she would have told me things would have been different.”
“Not really, the ark still would have ran out of air.   We still would have sent the 100 to the ground, only Bellamy wouldn’t have been with them.   Now I know where all the parts of him that make him invaluable down here came from, they came from you.”
“No, that came from his mother.   I didn’t have anything to do with it.”
“Hey, it will be okay.   I did it this way to get it all in the open, no secrets going forward.”   She pressed a kiss to his temple and wrapped her hands around his face.
****
“Damnit,” Bellamy was kicking things in his tent.   He could feel Clarke come up behind him, reach out a tentative hand to place on his shoulder.
“Hey, it’s me.”   He didn’t turn around but he placed his hand on her on his shoulder.   “I’m not going to tell you I know how you’re feeling but you need to let me help.”
He turned around then, taking her in his arms and burying his head in her hair.   “I’ll try.”  He kissed her then, soft and gentle running his hands through her hair and down her back.    She leaned into him, and he hoped maybe they could pick up where they were before Jackson had come to ruin his day.    He broke the kiss and shook his head.   He was going to try and not ruin this.   He had a chance for something he had forgotten he wanted.   To know his father.
“Can I come in?” Marcus stood just outside the tent waiting for his cue to enter.   Clarke stepped out of his arms and spun to stand beside him, a united front.
“Yeah,” Bellamy answered.
Marcus stepped into the tent and looked at Bellamy, he was sure the older man didn’t know what to say.
“I’m not going to say this is going to be easy, I hated my father when I was young.   I didn’t want to hear my mother’s reasoning.   But, I have always respected you, Marcus, and I believe you when you say you didn’t know.”
“I didn’t, and Bellamy, I loved her too.  If she had told me it would have worked.”
“Yeah, but I wouldn’t have had O.”   Even if she was crazy, she was still his little sister.
Marcus held out his hand to Bellamy in a handshake, but Bellamy took it and let Marcus hug him instead.
It only lasted a minute, and then Bellamy realized Abby was hanging back, just outside the tent.
“So, were they really going to float me, too?” Bellamy asked them, this was information he hadn’t heard before.
“Yes, Marcus practically begged us to vote against it.   It was the only time Marcus and I ever agreed on anything at a council meeting.”   Abby told him, suprised that he didn’t look more upset about it.   What she didn’t know was that he had assumed he was going to get floated.
“And,” Abby contiuned looking from Clarke to Bellamy and then back to Clarke.   “You know you two aren’t hiding anything, right?”
“Yeah, it’s the biggest open secret around,” Kane told them.
“We aren’t hding anything, Madi knows, we just don’t want to share it with everyone else yet.”  Clarke told them as she took Bellamy’s hand.   “Give the world time to settle around us.”

Marcus had told her once that the youth had inherited the earth and seeing Bellamy’s mature reaction to this news, maybe they would all not just live, but survive.
