still obsessed with how the last two stages of Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom contrast
in stage 5 you’re blasting through hordes of enemies jamming out to Voyage of 380000 Kilometers, and then you come to Clownpiece bombarding you with utter hell while Pierrot of the Star-Spangled Banner blares at you and everything is so chaotic and crazy
and then stage 6 opens with the sound of gently rolling waves

Yandere House Stark Headcanons (Platonic)
"Winter is Coming." — House Stark.
❝ 🐺 — lady l: and another headcanon was made! Yay, I hope it turned out good and that you like it! Forgive me any mistakes. 💙
❝tw: obsessive and possessive behavior, mention of murder, unhealthy platonic relationships, messy writing.
❝🐺pairing: yandere platonic!house stark x gender neutral!reader.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Starks are one of the most, if not the most, loving families in Westeros. They are fiercely loyal and protect each other with wolf-like intensity and strength. They care for each other and love each other devotedly.
When you were brought into the care of this family, these feelings did not change, but only increased further and became unhealthy. That didn't matter, however, to any of them. They showed their fury towards anyone who dared to get too close to you or threatened you.
Ned was the one who brought you into the wings of his family. You were the child of an innkeeper who ended up being murdered by some thieves, while still a small child you were found by the Lord of Winterfell and he, compassionate about your situation, brought you to his home.
Catelyn didn't know how to react, at first, when she met you. She feared that you were another bastard child of her husband and that he had brought you to be raised just like Jon. But as soon as her husband told her the true story, Catelyn felt a weight lifted from her shoulders and she became closer to you.
Robb gave you a warm welcome. As soon as he met you, he picked you up, hugged you tightly and welcomed you to the family. He adored you immediately and didn't hesitate to treat you like a member of his family. Robb is overprotective and takes care of you like an older brother takes care of a younger one.
Sansa adored you, simple as that. Although a little skeptical of you, like her mother, any worries or reservations she had were gone the moment she laid eyes on you. You looked so small and helpless, her instincts were screaming at her to take care of you. Sansa found herself overwhelmed by this feeling.
Arya is probably the closest to you. She is bold and courageous, she adores you and loves spending time with you, constantly picking fights with others for your attention. Arya is somewhat possessive and gets irritated when attention is stolen from her. She absolutely loves you and loves taking you with her to get away from boring chores.
Bran is the calmest one in his family, he doesn't demand so much of your attention nor is he possessive, he takes everything he can, but his only demand is that you read to him. In return, he'll love reading to you or, if you are interested, teaching you how to climb. He is very calm and the least dangerous.
Rickon is the youngest and, in some ways, the most spoiled. He constantly wants your attention and is always fighting with Arya about it. He likes to follow you around Winterfell and snuggle into your arms. He is quite jealous and will sulk when someone steals you from him.
Jon didn't know what to think of you at first. On one hand he was jealous of seeing you receiving all the love he so desired, on the other hand he was happy to have you around, since he started to like you a lot as he got to know you better. Any animosity he had for you would be forgotten once his obsession consumed him. Jon is very overprotective and will fight anyone to protect you.
Benjen doesn't spend much time by your side because of the Wall, but the few times he visited Winterfell, he adored you and telling you stories or holding you in his arms were his favorite things to do with you.
Ned didn't know things would come to this level. He knew his family would care and love you, but he didn't know how much. He even tried to be rational, but it was no use, not when he found himself obsessed with you. Once you called him "dad", there was nothing more to be done. You were a Stark until your death.
Catelyn acts like a caring and protective mother, which she is. She loves to brush your hair, reading to you or just being by your side. She fulfills your every whim and can never scold you for something. In her eyes, you were her baby and you could do nothing wrong.
Robb and Jon are always fighting over you, although their fights are never serious, they still happen and it's always up to you how to resolve them. A hug and a kiss on the cheek usually does the trick. Robb wants to be your favorite brother and Jon wants your unconditional love.
Sansa and Arya fight more than their brothers, they both want your attention all the time and this always leads to more fights. It's usually Ned who solves them. Sansa wants you to brush her hair while she tells you something and Arya wants to play or train with you.
Bran and Rickon don't fight that much, but sometimes a disagreement can happen when you pay more attention to one. It usually resolves when you threaten them that if they don't stop fighting, they won't have you. They are quick to apologize and hug you.
The Starks are wolves and we all know how protective wolves are of their litter, of their family. They will be ready to eliminate any threat to you and they will do so with a smile. Nothing is more important than you to them. Once the Lannisters arrive, the Starks will be ready to show their claws.
After all, leave one wolf alive and the sheep are never safe.

Hi hope it’s not to late to request yandere demon bull family , with reader having a crush on MK please 🙏
Tumblr media
Bullfam reacts to dating MK
(Alternate Scenario)
Red Son’s reaction closely mirrors MK’s in the Monkiefam scenario, just far more severe and less quick to open up to the idea of his little sibling dating.
As the seasons go on, he’s more and more likely to grudgingly accept your relationship with the filthy, awful, empty-brained, plan-wrecking, noodle-making peasant. By season four, he’ll have a severely vitriolic view of your relationship, but will very unhappily accept that MK not only makes you happy, but also keeps you safe.
In season one? He explodes into a blind rage and temporarily switches his plans from taking over the city/world to outright killing his rival.
You sigh as you step into your room, where your brother is, but has no right to be, in your personal opinion. You feel more of a mild annoyance at him going through your things than anything else, though. He does this regularly, giving his reasons as “keeping you out of trouble” and “making sure you aren’t up to anything”.
Today is the first day after years of relentless searching that he finds something.
Red Son’s hand trembles with an emotion you can’t quite place, holding an item you can’t quite see. You peek closer, shifting to look around his shoulder.
It’s your phone, with your messages open.
And he’s looking through the chats you’ve had with MK.
“Y/N! EXPLAIN YOURSELF RIGHT NOW, YOU- YOU- YOU ABSOLUTE BUFFOON! HOW DARE YOU?! RUNNING AROUND WITH THE DEMON BULL FAMILY’S GREATEST ENEMY?! DO WE MEAN NOTHING TO YOU?! DO YOU NOT LOVE US? DO YOU LOVE HIM MORE THAN US?!”
He throws your phone to the ground, crushing it with a flaming foot. Then that fire begins to spread.
Flames gush freely from his hands, his eyes, his hair, all setting him alight in a brutal display of the power he wields. The fire he spews grows hotter and brighter until almost all of his body is consumed by an eye-searing light. You’re forced to turn your head and cover your eyes. There’s nothing you can do to stop him right now, and you certainly can’t go running to your parents, either.
Even if they did decide to step in and force him to stand down, it would mean revealing to them your relationship with the first and foremost obstacle to their plans and schemes. They might even go so far as to fan his fury, encouraging him as he sets off on a one-man warpath towards Megapolis, and with it, MK.
The best and safest option here is to bite the bullet and desperately apologize and start to beg for him to calm down. Tell him that you’re sorry for keeping secrets, for getting into a relationship without his knowledge or consent, for sneaking around with his rival. Tell him you’ll call the whole thing off and break up with MK if he just calms down and stops burning things, if he promises not to hurt anybody. If you cry and tremble as you make promise after promise, there’s a better chance it’ll work.
And though your pleading does slowly get through to Red Son, his anger is only ever so slightly mitigated. Shaking so fiercely that he threatens to combust once more, he grips your shoulder with just enough strength to leave a bruise and throws you into your closet, locking it behind you before stomping off to speak with his parents about what you’ve been doing.
You’re left alone, sniffling and shaking in the dark, sitting with your legs against your chest in the enclosed space.
Things are bad, already. And then you hear soft footsteps, and you know they’re about to get worse.
Tumblr media
Thankfully for you, your mother comes to see you before your father does.
Princess Iron Fan is the calmest and most reasonable of the three, with iron-lined nerves and a perpetually composed demeanor. You’re lucky, really. If it had been your brother again, or; god forbid, your father… at least her coming here gives them both a chance to cool off from the news while she tends to you.
She slowly unlocks and opens the closet, looking down at your huddled form. Whether she looks at you with pity, reproach or disappointment is impossible to distinguish by face and body language alone.
Even when she kneels down in the closet to meet you face-to-face, her emotions are utterly indistinguishable. Your heart pounds frantically, terror mounting inside you. The red-robed demon shakes her head and sighs softly at your panicked expression, opening her arms to you.
“My poor, foolish child. Come to your mother.”
Princess Iron Fan might be evil, might be married to a would-be world conquerer, might be willing to throw children around in a fight… but she adores her family above all else. So she takes pity upon seeing your tears and brings you into a hug, letting you rest your teary eyes on her shoulder.
She’s still mad, of course. But she’ll preserve her image of you being a precious and innocent treasure that she simply must protect by shifting the majority of the blame to MK, deeming him a “bad influence”. You’re still getting locked up nice and tight in the fortress, of course. You’ll be put in a room with a door that’s too heavy for you to push open, trapping you inside even without taking into account that your parents seal it with locks both iron and arcane, just to keep you extra “safe” from someone who never posed any threat to you whatsoever.
“My naive little Y/N,” she coos into your ear with sickly-sweetness, tightening her arms around you. “Was my foolish child led astray by a petty, rebellious mortal? I had thought you were readier for the world, wiser to the tricks of it’s people… but I see now that I was wrong.”
Your heart clenches at her manipulative words, her loving but sharp tongue driving stakes into your quickly diminishing self-esteem. By framing a simple desire to grow up and develop a relationship as a severe personal failing on your end, she justifies locking you away. You can’t call her a bad person if she convinced you that it’s for your own good, after all.
She truly loves you, in spite of her manipulations. Iron Fan will be the one bringing you food and fresh clothing every morning, ensuring that you stay healthy and clean even through the long duration of your imprisonment grounding.
She sets you onto your feet, brushing off your clothes before cupping your cheek with one of her hands. “Come now. Your father wants to speak to you.”
All you can do from there is drag your feet along after her, dreading the inevitable confrontation that awaits you.
Tumblr media
She brings you to the master room of the fortress, where the Demon Bull King awaits you, scorn leering from his eyes. She pushes you into the chamber, then shuts the iron door behind you with a powerful gust of wind, trapping you once more.
With leaden feet, you slowly walk forwards, head lowered to the ground so as to not make eye contact with your furious father. Once you stand before his throne, he leans forward.
With a long, clawed finger he reaches out to you. Carefully, he hooks his powerful and sharp nail under the bottom of your chin, tilting your head up to meet his gaze.
“Child,” he rumbles, his voice dangerously low and gravelly. “You have much to answer for. If I were you, I’d begin explaining… and quickly.”
Just as you did with your elder brother, and your mother soon after him, you take the most peaceful option you can, and try to placate. If it was just Red Son that was angry at you, you could run to your parents for sanctuary. If it was only Demon Bull King, you could seek out your mother and beg her to soothe his rage. Now that all of your family is enraged or upset, you have nowhere to run, no one to turn to.
“I… I’m sorry, father. I have no excuse.”
You do, actually. That excuse being that you’ve lived hundreds of years right beside them and have proven both your strength and maturity time and time again. Still, they treat you like a child and insist on hiding you away from the world and everyone within it.
“Please give me a chance to earn your forgiveness.”
You don’t want his forgiveness. You want your family to understand that you’ve grown up, enough that you have an interest in romantic relationships. You don’t want to have to fight to get them to acknowledge your feelings and desires.
Your father stares down at you with icy eyes, huffing and snarling. You know he wouldn’t truly harm you, of course. None of your family would. The mild bruise Red Son gave you just a short while ago was the worst any of them had ever hurt you , and even that was probably unintentional.
DBK leans back on his throne, unhanding your chin. Still, his eyes never leave yours, boring right through you.
“I see,” he says, his voice heavily guarded. “I see what the problem is.” The giant demon folds his arms as he rises from his throne, towering above you.
“You’ve been given too much room to roam, it seems. I have been gone for so long that you have forgotten the Bull clan’s mission.”
He raises his fist high, then swings it against the wall to sound a brutal clang that echoes through the room and causes your ears to painfully ring as you recoil.
“We are demons! We conquer, destroy, and rule! None stand in our way! We do not lower ourselves to commingle with mortals! We rise above the rabble, and crush them under our heels when they dare to resist!”
“Do you understand, Y/N?”
Swallowing the lump in your throat is painful, but you force yourself to do so anyways. If you want to soothe the anger you’ve inspired throughout your parents and brother, then you have to take the high road and play nice for your own sake.
Not only for your own sake, but for MK’s as well. Their anger is directed between the both of you, after all. Assuaging it is the easiest way to keep him safe. With that in mind, there’s only one thing you can say.
“Yes, father.”

Elias Hodge hadn't raised his tone nor hand in anger for many years. He'd paid for it when he was a child and the wrong lesson had been learnt.
Still, as he stood on shaky legs, splinters of glass latched onto his skin like leeches, and a dull pain throbbing from his head, he couldn't squash down the feeling any longer.
They'd tried to kill him. They'd taken his work and butchered it, turning his machine into a weapon. He'd tried to use his words and take the peaceful path, but Mr Henry didn't care enough to listen.
He was the calmest he's ever been, chest slowly rising and falling with steady breaths, and yet fury surged through his blood. Elias shifted his grip on the grappling hook in hand, the cool metal soothing against his palm.
Gobstopper Industries was going to burn down, past their foundations, and they'd practically handed Elias the match.

Soon, she would be drawn to the balance you bring into the relationship as she has a fiery spirit that might sometimes lead her to impulsive decisions. She appreciates loyalty and strength and so would find solace in the fact that your calmness does not equate to weakness but rather reflects inner strength and resolve. As she sometimes struggles with her own intense emotions, Neytiri would gradually learn from your tranquil nature and her behavior would be tempered by your serenity as you would teach her the value of patience, introspection, and emotional balance.
Tumblr media
He would see you as a source of strength and serenity in his life, cherishing you as a partner who complements his own adventurous spirit while providing the emotional stability he craves.

Your calmness would create a safe space for Jake to express his thoughts and emotions knowing that you would offer a steady and understanding presence.
Tumblr media
You complemented each other’s strengths and weaknesses, forging a bond that was both powerful and nurturing.
If you were a warrior but also the calmest person Spider had ever seen, he would be both exhilarated and amazed. He would be struck by the contrast between your incredible prowess and your unwavering calmness. While the chaos of battle raged around you, you remained composed, your every action deliberate and measured. Spider can sometimes be driven by intense emotions and a fiery temperament, your presence would be a soothing revelation to him. Your tranquility would act as a steady anchor, grounding him even in the most tumultuous of circumstances. He would find a guiding light in you because your influence would help him develop a newfound sense of self-control and resilience.

She would acknowledge the importance of your role and appreciate the balance you bring to the relationship. She would also be a supportive partner and would offer her unwavering support to you in both times of battle and in moments of peace.

Tumblr media
He would come to appreciate and learn from your ability to approach situations with a level head.
If you were a warrior but also the calmest person Aonung had ever seen, he would admire your combat skills and find them quite exciting, perhaps even sparking a sense of competitiveness within him. He might feel a strong attraction to your strength and prowess, drawn to you as someone who can match his own adventurous spirit. As someone who often masks his own insecurities and pressures behind a facade of recklessness, he might secretly yearn for the same level of composure and tranquility that you possess. This combination of admiration and attraction might also trigger a sense of insecurity within Aonung. He might question whether he is worthy of someone as composed and skilled as you. This internal struggle could manifest as occasional self-doubt, causing him to second-guess his actions or feel the need to prove himself in your presence.
Tumblr media
He would trust your judgment implicitly, recognizing your capability to navigate through challenges with your calmness and strategic mindset.
If you were a warrior but also the calmest person Tonowari had ever seen, he would greatly admire and be drawn to your warrior nature. As a respected leader himself, he would appreciate your courage, skill, and ability to protect your clan. He would even recognize you as an equal in terms of strength and capabilities. Tonowari would find your calmness to be a compelling and intriguing aspect of your personality, he would value your ability to maintain composure and make rational decisions even in the face of adversity. While he would admire your fierce independence, he would also be concerned for your safety. His instinct to shield and support you would arise from a place of love and care rather than a belief that you are incapable of handling yourself. His response would involve a delicate balance between offering his assistance and respecting your autonomy.
Tumblr media
He would evolve to become a more balanced and well-rounded individual.
If you were a warrior but also the calmest person Tsu’tey had ever seen, he would appreciate your prowess in battle and recognize you as an equal. He would find it exhilarating to have a partner who can match his own combat skills. Tsu'tey's initial response to your calm demeanor might be one of skepticism or even confusion. He is known for his assertiveness, occasional aggression, and emotional intensity, so your serenity could initially clash with his own personality. He might struggle to understand how someone can remain so composed and unaffected by the chaos and challenges of your world. As your relationship deepens, he would gradually start to appreciate and be intrigued by your calmness on a deeper level. Despite his occasional bouts of aggression or impatience, Tsu’tey might find solace in your tranquil nature. He might even seek your counsel during moments when he feels overwhelmed or conflicted.

I forgot, what did Horus do that broke trust with Jaune?
Horus had Konrad Curze kill an entire company of Remnant Knights along with the a group of Remnant Citizens they were escorting as a warning to Jaune since at this time, he was beginning to Rebel agaisnt orders and question everything. This is where the "Primarchs Fury" curse came from;
Konrad Curze stared as Jaune knelt down, looking at the remains of a small child that clung to one his marines, they had died in a vain attempt to protect the people they had been charged with escorting. Only for their transport to have been attacked, the marines tried to defend their charges against a legion of murders. He had arrived too late to save any of them.
"Know thi-" it was quick, so quick that the Haunter didn't have time to react as he was sent flying back. The very air from his lungs forced out from a punch so powerful, it cracked his power armor and dented the chest. In-between gasps, he witnessed the calmest of his brothers yell in pure rage as he cut down any Nightlord he could. Bisected, decapitated, crushed, and whatever else he did to get them out of his way as he charged at Curze. Even two of his elite honor guard, the Atramentar were cut down. Jaune's sword cutting through their terminator armor with sheer strength. Radiating such an extremely powerful aura of Fury that for just a single small second, Konrad Curze felt fear. Jaune was like a feral beast, lashing out anything that moved. Cutting down all that stood before him. Konrad Curze escaped but lost many of his own Astartes to the raging 11th Primarch. This pure unadulterated rage was so severe that his sons felt their Primarchs Fury, even millions of light-years away on distant worlds. Many themselves fell to the Fury and lashed out at the traitors with such ferocity never before seen in any of the 11th Legion.

🍒 MASTERLIST 🍒
Tumblr media
As a dragon-vampire hybrid ─ being the only unique breed to exist and in which the phenomena of his birth cannot be elucidated just like the rest of his brothers ─ Jay has a rage that is unlike any other. Perhaps being part dragon is a component of the fury he carries within him, as dragons are known for being ferocious creatures, but for as long as he can remember, his tempestuous temperament is something he has always struggled with.
His people perceive him as the second calmest prince after Heeseung. But they are blissfully unaware of the immense rage he harbours. During his adolescence, he endured such tribulations that no one should ever have to go through ─ which included being forced to be shackled with indestructible chains designed specifically for him to prevent him from shifting into a dragon anytime he lost control of his rage. 
Jay recalls the apparent fear in the eyes of his brothers and sister upon witnessing his torrent of rage, while the king and queen were devastated whenever they had to order the royal guards to bind him. To them, it was the only way for him to master restraint and subdue his dragon nature.
Eventually, as the years passed, Jay had gotten better control of his anger and no longer had to worry about shifting into his dragon form at any inappropriate time. He swears he has improved, but the current predicament seems to poison his mind with the familiar doubts he thought he had buried.
The current predicament in which he has been rendered debilitated due to the unforeseen onslaught from the dragons, whom he recognises as the royalties. The memory of witnessing his brothers being attacked by the royalties rouses his anger tenfold, prompting him to snap his eyes open with a low guttural growl emitting from him.
Only then does he realise that he is still in his dragon form and the place he is at. They have captured him and brought him to their castle's dungeon.
A mixture of snarl and growl elicit from him at the pain sensation from the wounds on his back due to being clawed by the two dragons earlier. A puff of smoke comes out of his snout while his eyes scan the dungeon he is imprisoned, noticing how oddly massive their dungeon is that even a single cell can fit an enormous body like his.
His ears perk up upon the sound of a metal door screeching open. As soon as he looks at the source sound of footsteps, his eyes narrow while growls emits from him as he bares his sharp teeth at five kings. However, they remain indifferent, simply raising their eyebrows at the hybrid prince.
"Relax, Jay." One of them raises his hands up, feigning surrender. "We're not going to hurt you, that is, unless you decide to be a bitch."
Jay growls even louder, eventually regaining vigour as the wounds on his back have healed. But it seems that the two dragon princes are discontented by Jay's incessant growls that resonate throughout these walls, given the expression written across their countenance.
"We did say that we're not going to hurt you, but that can't be said the same for the girl." One of the kings, who Jay hasn't realised has gone missing for a moment, returns to them, but he is not empty-handed.
In an instant, Jay releases a ferocious roar upon seeing the sight of an unconscious Elora being dragged across the floor by one of the dragon princes, with blood seeping through her white blouse. Perhaps it is because he has an obligation to fulfil towards her, but the sight of his enemy in such a condition has him seeing red.
"Don't worry. She's still alive." Their oldest smiles cunningly at Jay. "But if you remain uncooperative, we might have to change that. Now, shift."
The fact that another royalty commands an order to Jay is preposterous, but when his eyes flicker down at Elora once more, who remains motionless on the floor, he knows he has to swallow down his pride and try his utmost to keep his rage at bay.
So he does what their oldest brother commanded, shifting into his human form. Jay snaps his eyes open, directing his glare at the five kings while a muscle pulses in his jaw. "You seem to forget that I always have the upper hand." As soon as Jay touches his magical vambrace, he wastes no time in conjuring a sword, clutching the grip with the intention of slaying the dragon princes who dared to hurt her.
Instead of feeling dissatisfied with Jay, they seem delighted upon witnessing the hybrid possessing the ability to wield such magic. This causes Jay's frown to deepen. "Why have you brought us here?" Jay asks sternly while trying his utmost not to glance at Elora again.
"Initially, you're the only one we needed, but we have decided to capture the girl and use her as leverage since it is more than apparent you care for her." The oldest divulges Jay's question. However, the oldest decides to taunt Jay by standing next to Elora's figure and going down on one knee with a dagger in his grasp.
"Yeonjun! Don't you dare!" Jay growls, his eyes glowing bright red-amber, while he feels his dragon side resurface, close to shifting again.
The oldest dragon king, also known as Yeonjun, remains undeterred by Jay's ferocious growls and instead presses the edge of the dagger to Elora's neck. Yeonjun hums, tilting his head to one side and seeming to examine her face. "She is a beauty, isn't she?"
"What if we keep her?" Their youngest, who goes by Kai, joins in to taunt Jay.
"Should we?" A smirk touches Yeonjun's lips, his hand that is gripping the dagger moves lower, with the tip grazing slowly against her skin.
Jay's sword clashes with the metal cell, startling them for a moment. "Touch her again, and I'll have your head!"
"Yeonjun, enough." Their second-oldest, Soobin, orders Yeonjun, who, in return, rolls his eyes and retracts his dagger from her neck.
"What is it that you want?" Jay grits his teeth, his anger is overbrimming to the point where his body is quivering.
"It's simple, really. All you have to do is behave and follow us." The middle king, Beomgyu, tells him. "Don't even think about using your sword on us. What you're about to find out is undoubtedly important to you."
"Fine." Jay sheathes his sword in his gilded scabbard around his waist while his disposition is now calm and collected, but the dragon princes continue to eye him warily.
"We need your word that you will accede to our command." The king who is responsible for rendering Elora unconscious, Taehyun, speaks for his brothers.
Jay clenches his jaw, swallowing his pride once more. "You have my word."
Upon Jay's affirmation, Taehyun proceeds to unlock the ginormous cell, but with his dragon strength, he has the capacity for lifting hefty things and is able to do so with ease. At once, Jay rushes for the unconscious female, but Yeonjun steps forward and prevents him from doing so.
"What do you think you're doing?" Jay yanks his shoulder away from Yeonjun's grasp. "I gave you my word that I'd accede to your command."
"And our command includes not allowing you to go near the woman you care about unless we are done with what we need to do." Yeonjun says lowly, a warning glint in his luminous amber eyes.
"At least provide her with aid. She's still bleeding." Jay almost pleads with the princes, which is unlike him because he doesn't plead to anyone, but the fact that Elora manages to render him impotent is genuinely confounding.
The five dragon kings exchange looks before Beomgyu acquiesces to Jay's request, bending down to carry the unconscious female in a bridal style.
"Let's go." Yeonjun grips Jay's shoulder firmly, and the latter heeds his words with much reluctance.
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
The unforeseen incursion has rendered the six princes enervated, impelling them to descend to the ground for respite, where they are presently in Pyrefall domain. Despite being powerful hybrids, they are not immune to enervation, as they, too, possess weaknesses like any other being.
"What do you suppose those savage dragons were? Rogues? Or just ordinary Pyrefall citizens?" Sunoo's voice dominates the area of the forest they are in, while he can be seen approaching his brothers after having to wash his face at a nearby brook.
"They're the royals. The dragon kings." Sunghoon answers him crisply as he remains seated on a large log while his face has a distressed contortion before he rubs his face. "But the question still remains: why did they capture Jay and Elora?"
"More like, are they still alive?" Jungwon heaves a sigh after pondering hard. He bears a palpable concern for them, especially Elora. He is more than aware that Jay is not someone who can be easily defeated, so he is not too worried about him. As for Elora, Jungwon recognises that she has a complication with magic, which leads to her being completely vulnerable.
"So, what is the plan now?" Jake folds his arms over his chest, his countenance has no traces of the usual gaiety as his gaze trails over to each of his brothers before it settles on the brooding eldest with his back facing them.
Heeseung, who had been saved in a nick of time by Riki, has been gravely silent, which is resounding enough for them to understand that he is livid.
Riki grasps the initiative to test the waters, cautiously approaching Heeseung. "Heeseung, whatever you want to do, we'll follow through. So what do we do?"
Heeseung turns around, allowing them to see his calm and collected demeanour, but the emotions swimming dangerously in his luminous red eyes vary. "We save them." He unsheathes his sword from the gilded scabbard around his waist. His face remains indifferent as he advances forward. "Then I'll have the head of whoever stole my bride." Despite how placid he sounds, the undertone of darkness he carries in his voice is unmistakable.
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
Jay finds it undoubtedly perplexing upon seeing the imperial personnel marvel at him with a peculiar yet profound esteem at every corridor, and he can't deny the fact that he feels that he is being escorted by the dragon kings as though he is an important figure instead of a detainee.
As they usher him inside a fairly massive chamber that looks like a study room with books arrayed on the shelves at every wall, Jay's mind drifts off to his brothers, already missing them and hoping that they will come for him. His eyes spot a lectern in the centre of the chamber, where there is a book with a peculiar cover.
"I'm going to cut to the chase." Jay breaks the silence that has been bugging him incessantly. His steely, crimson-hued eyes glare at the dragon kings, who are scattered around him. "Why did you capture me? And why did your imperial personnel look at me as if I were their saviour?"
Instead of answering Jay's questions, the dragon kings exchange looks that are unreadable.
"Are you absolutely certain that he is the one?" Kai asks his brothers in a hushed whisper, causing Jay to roll his eyes. It is like he's invisible in their eyes as they continue to speak to each other about him in front of him.
"Well, he looks exactly the same as him." Soobin says, but his voice wavers with patent dubiety. "Their dragon form even look the same."
"If he is our lord, then why doesn't he seem to have any recollection of his past?" Taehyun counters firmly.
Jay intervenes with a quick yet efficient growl that is enough to draw their attention to him. "Just get straight to the damn point. Who is him?"
"Our dragon lord, the demigod." Yeonjun's cold voice is resonating throughout the chamber. "The first monarch from a thousand years ago."
Jay's eyebrows are furrowed, with lines of confusion creasing his forehead. "A demigod? Here, exist in our world?"
"Existed." Beomgyu corrects him. "He's not the only demigod, but that is beside the point. We believe that you are him. The demigod Jaan ─ our dragon lord."
Jay feels a throb in his head. His fingers ascend to massage his temple while his lips heave with a sigh. "Let me get this straight. You captured me and brought me here because you believed that I'm your lord."
"That's about it." As soon as Taehyun surmises, Jay releases a cold, deadly chuckle, his lip turning into a smirk.
"Has the demise of your sovereigns steered you to become utterly deluded by a ludicrous myth about some demigod?" The mockery Jay carries in his tone incites ire from the dragon kings. "Come on. You can't possibly fool me into believing in whatever tripe you've sprouted."
"Show him." Yeonjun orders one of his brothers calmly while maintaining a glare at Jay.
"Show me what?" At the moment the question flies out of Jay's mouth, his eyes catch Soobin's movement, who is ambling towards him with occupied hands. The book Jay saw earlier on the lectern.
Jay snatches it without question, wanting to get this over with. As soon as he flips the book open, he is taken aback by a detailed drawing of his face. He flips over to another page, and this time it is a drawing of his dragon form. His nose flares while his chest heaves up and down, flipping to the next page just to see words written in a language he has never seen before.
"What is the meaning of this?" Jay asks rather stiffly, slamming the book shut with a thud before diverting his steely gaze at them. 
"That's the demigod, our Lord Jaan." Kai tells him, his impatience is apparent in the way he speaks.
"Why do I bear the same face as your lord?" Jay asks adamantly while his heart is palpitating for some reason and his head throbs for another time.
"That's what we've been telling you! You're him! The demigod of dragons!" Beomgyu exclaims. "We don't just believe that you're him, but we've also been told by the elders of a prohecy."
Jay arches his eyebrow. "And what does the prophecy entail?"
"That our lord shall be reincarnated and he will reign supremacy over Pyrefall once again," Soobin tells him, but his tone is oddly grave, as does the contortion on his face. "however, it is imperative that he does not repeat the same mistake he made a thousand years ago."
Jay refuses to believe any of the words that came out of their mouths, but something nudges him, almost like a pinch of warning. The headache returns again, and this time, he sees bleary images that flash in his mind quicker than he can perceive.
"Listen, I understand that it is hard for you to fathom the revelation, but we would never lie about it." Yeonjun steps forward to place his hand on Jay's shoulder firmly, but as soon as he touches him, Jay feels a peculiar sensation that flows through him, reminding him of the bond he has with his brothers. Trust.
Upon seeing the expression on Jay's face, Yeonjun offers him a smile with a knowing gaze. "You feel that, don't you?"
For the first time, Jay is rendered speechless. Although a part of him still adamantly refuses to believe in anything, the other part feels strongly for the dragon kings, almost as if he is inclined to protect them.
"I don't understand. I can't possibly be a demigod of dragons." Jay says, looking completely distraught as his fingers skim through his raven locks. "If I am him, Jaan, then why can't I remember anything from my past?"
The five kings bear similar sentiments towards Jay, with visible sympathy written across their faces. "We don't have the answer you seek, but you should know that we are prepared to serve you and protect you." Soobin declares, and at once, the five of them go down on one knee with their heads bowed.
Jay is flabbergasted by their unexpected obeisance, and before he can say anything, Yeonjun cuts him off with a voice that is stern and resounding enough to send an odd sensation through him. "We are willing to kill and die for you, my lord."
"Stop this!" Jay snaps at them, hating how he feels strangely pleased by their sheer devotion when they are royalties themselves.
Neither of them relents. "For millennia, our ancestors had been anticipating your arrival since the day you met your demise." Yeonjun continues. "Although we are the heirs to the thrones, we are not the true rulers and are deemed unworthy to lead the kingdom. The throne belongs to the first monarch, which is you, Lord Jaan."
"My name is Jay," Jay counters fiercely, his voice nearly comes out with a growl. "and you will not bow to me because I'm not your lord, or so help me, I'll─"
"Your majesties!" A royal guard barges into the room, and the expression on his face alarms the dragon kings as they rise from the ground. "The castle is under attack!"
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
The castle is ginormous, fitting impeccably for a dragon to roam inside the castle, and how perfect it is for them to trespass with additional assistance from Riki's shadow magic that allows them to travel among the shadows without getting caught by the royal guards at their respective posts.
"Okay, so what's the plan again?" Jake asks his brothers as soon as they are situated in the dim corridor. Concurrently, he conjures a katana with his magical vambrace.
"We'll be splitting into three teams. Sunoo's with me. We'll create a diversion." Riki recapitulates, his back leaning against the wall while he leisurely toys around with a dagger in his grasp.
"Jungwon's with me." Heeseung restates as Jungwon nods in acknowledgement. "We'll find Jay as well as the head of the king who captured Elora."
"Then I guess you're with me." Jake casts a devious grin at Sunghoon as he slings his arm around the latter's shoulder. "Let's save our damsel in distress."
"Intruders!" Two royal guards can be seen from afar, unsheathing their swords before charging towards them.
"Go!" Sunoo instructs them while grabbing an arrow from his quiver before getting ready to aim at the incoming guards. His lips curve into a smirk as his gaze is trained on his target. "We'll handle them from here."
The rest watch for a fleeting moment when Riki summons his monstrous shadow companion before he orders it to attack the royal guards. The group begins to disperse with their respective teammates while simultaneously using their heightened senses to smell Jay and Elora's scent.
"I smell her blood." Sunghoon's discovery alarms Jake as the latter turns to look at him with widened eyes, but Sunghoon's face contorts into full concentration while they don't relent from running. "She's this way."
It isn’t too long for them to reach where she is, as they decided to use their vamp speed. But there are two royal guards stationed outside of the entryway of the dungeon. With swiftness and velocity, Sunghoon and Jake manage to eliminate them within minutes.
Sunghoon snatches the key from one of the guards' grasps before they ascend a flight of stairs. Finally, they have reached inside the dungeon, where there are numerous yet empty cells except for one.
"Elora!" Jake uses his vamp speed to reach Elora's cell, accidentally crashing his body against the cell with his hands gripping the metal tightly. Amidst the anger, he feels a wave of protectiveness and concern wash over him upon seeing Elora on the cold, hard ground.
"Hold on." Sunghoon murmurs, finding the right key before he proceeds to unlock the cell. He uses his strength to pull open the metal cell, and Jake wastes no time in rushing towards Elora.
Anger roars within Jake at the sight of her blood staining her blouse, an obvious sign of her getting hurt by someone. Shoving away his anger, he directs his sole focus on the female, kneeling next to her and grabbing both her shoulders to lift her body just slightly so he is able to cradle her body.
"Elora, wake up, please?" There is a tinge of desperate plea in his voice as he brushes the strands of her lilac hair away from her face frame.
Sunghoon watches Jake in sheer silence, observing him with a calculating gaze. He finds it odd to witness his brother being evidently worried for their enemy. As a matter of fact, Sunghoon is aware of Jake's disinterest in ladies in general, despite being a mischievous yet playboy prince back in their kingdom.
"Jake?" Miraculously, Elora awakens as she utters his name in a weak whisper, fluttering her heavy eyelids open but barely. She still feels weak despite having her wound on the stomach wrapped with a bandage that stops the bleeding.
"Yes, we're here." Jake says softly as he continues to brush her hair to the back. "We're getting you out of here."
But Elora finds herself rolling her eyes to the back, unable to focus on anything as her head is throbbing painfully with flashes of inexplicable images.
"Eyes on me, love." Jake cradles her face, forcing her to look at him in the eyes. His stern gaze motivates her to fight against the familiar darkness that is threatening to shroud her whole being again. "Good girl." He whispers after she manages to keep her eyes open. "Does your wound hurt, still?"
Elora responds with a pained moan as soon as her stomach throbs painfully, her head falling to the side as it hits his chest. Upon receiving her answer, Jake proceeds to carry her in a bridal style before they depart from the dungeon.
"We can't meet the others." Sunghoon says as he falls in the same steps as Jake. "We need to get her out of here first. I'll send our location to the others."
Jake halts his steps abruptly, his eyes trained on his line of sight. "We may have a problem." He says tersely while instinctively holding Elora close to his body.
Sunghoon turns to look at where Jake is gazing, and a scoff leaves his lips right after before his lips upturn into a cold smirk. "It's been awhile, Soobin."
There stand two dragon kings, Soobin and Kai, each holding swords. Just a few feet from them, Heeseung and Jungwon can be seen fighting against Beomgyu and Taehyun. The sound of swords clashing resonates throughout the area, with a series of onslaughts amongst them. But Jay and Yeonjun are nowhere to be found.
"Indeed." Soobin nods his head, but his face has no traces of amiability. "Leaving so soon?"
"Of course. I mean, we really have a busy schedule ahead of us." Sarcasm laces into Sunghoon's voice.
"We're not letting you go without a fight." Kai states fiercely.
Jake heaves a sigh before he carefully places Elora on the floor with her back leaning against a pillar. "I'll be quick, lovely." He whispers to her and takes her by surprise when he plants a kiss on her crown.
"So, fight to the death?" Sunghoon grins deviously at Soobin as he conjures a sword with the magical vambrace.
"With no respite." Soobin mirrors Sunghoon's grin before they charge towards one another.
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
"Which one of you stole my bride?" Heeseung asks calmly as soon as they recover from their moment of respite. He leers at the two dragon kings, whom he managed to make bleed with visible slashes across their arms and chests, as well as at Jungwon's attack on them.
"Your bride?" Beomgyu's face contorts into confusion, clutching his sword.
"Her." Jungwon beckons to Elora, who has her eyes closed as she remains on the ground with her back leaning against the pillar, prompting the dragon kings to turn around to look at her.
"She's your bride?" Beomgyu raises his voice just slightly, lacing with sheer disbelief. "Him." Beomgyu points his finger to Taehyun, who, in return, shoots him a disbelieving glare.
Heeseung clicks his tongue while his eyes swirl dangerously. "Not only did you steal her from me, but you dared to hurt her?" In a blink of an eye, Heeseung appears in front of Taehyun and aims his sword directly at his neck, but the latter manages to defend himself from getting beheaded with his sword clashing against Heeseung's.
"Where is Jay?" Jungwon asks Beomgyu calmly for the second time.
"Didn’t you know?" Beomgyu gives him a smile of mockery. "Your brother will not be returning with all of you."
Despite Jungwon's confusion by Beomgyu's remark, he charges towards him with the intention to end him for good, as the mischievous king has been getting on his nerves. The group doesn’t relent from attacking one another, despite having spilled blood.
Soon enough, Jay and Yeonjun arrive at the scene. Jay's eyes widen in panic upon seeing his brothers battling against the dragon kings. His gaze flickers to Elora, and for a moment, he desires to rush to her, but he holds himself back.
"Command your brothers to stop attacking mine." Jay nearly growls at Yeonjun. "End this bloodshed now."
Jay expects Yeonjun to differ, but the latter takes him by surprise as he gives him a head nod before shifting his gaze to the scenery. "Brothers! Cease at once!" But his command is rendered futile as they continue their onslaught.
"Fuck this." Jay uses his vamp speed, rushing towards Sunghoon with the intention of helping him against Soobin, despite feeling conflicted about having to hurt Soobin.
Elora stirs lightly as she regains consciousness for the third time, now able to flutter her eyelids open without any difficulty. She feels a warm sensation where her bracelet is before a familiar surge of power traverses her body, eliciting a soft gasp from her.
Elora places her hand where her wounded stomach is, no longer does it throb painfully, as it is slowly healing thanks to the magic deriving from her bracelet. She attempts to rise from the floor, swaying lightly as her head spins, prompting her hand to hold onto the pillar wall.
The commotion from the group draws her attention to the view in her line of sight. She is taken aback by the bloodshed amongst them, while they don't seem to relent anytime soon.
Elora should have grasped the opportunity to make her escape from here, and she should have enjoyed the sight of bloodshed just as she enjoys killing since she is a clandestine assassin, but something is holding her back strongly. She has no idea why she feels a peculiar knot in her stomach upon seeing her enemies fighting against the dragon kings.
"Stop." Elora finds herself whispering, her breaths going laboured. The tips of her fingers feel warm before they ignite with the familiar magenta, while her indigo-hued eyes are glowing brighter than usual. The sound of swords clashing again triggers her this time.
"I said stop!" Her voice doesn’t sound like her voice at all — one that is filled with sheer authority and resounding — but what stops them is not the sound of her voice. The moment she commanded, luminous magenta mists that derive from her power spread out like a flash of light, shrouding the group.
Her indigo-hued eyes remain glowing, as does the power she wields that forces them to cease their onslaught. It is as though the magic she casts upon them compels them to heed her command.
"Just stop fighting." Elora mutters, her magic begins to flail while her head spins once more due to the exertion dawning on her body from wielding such unexpected power.
"Elora." Jungwon utters his name as soon as her magic has been dispelled, and before he can even reach her, Jake beats him to it as he catches the unconscious female in a nick of time.

Requesting a reader hellbent on getting Gus to admit to not being human?
- 💀 anon
Gus giggles as you flash a bright light in their eyes, bursting into a full on fit as they speak. "That tickles, Sugarcube. Look at you, making a clown laugh, how funny is that? Sigh I knew you were the one for me."
"Can it 'clown'." You remove your hands from the table lamp to slam them on the smooth surface, Gus trying to keep his snickers to a minimum. This thing.. You don't know what it is, but it definitely isn't human. They don't even deny your claims, going on and one about how they were simply - clown.
Your suspicions derived from the fact their makeup never smudged. They never took it nor their costume off. Something you expected them to by now due to how long they've been invading your home. There was also the matter of their extreme flexibility and talent to pull things from thin air. Not to mention them being able to just vanish without a trace when you try to prove that someone has been stalking you, only for all of their equipment to be scattered across the floor the second you close the door.
"Tell me what you are right now. Or you won't like the consequences."
Their shoulder quake with a slight laugh. They fall as they continue. "Oh, Y/n. You wouldn't hurt me." Gus claimly states. It's the calmest you've ever seen them, and a little unnerving...
"Because who would hurt a clown!" Yet again - they laugh again without a care in the world. Your frustration reaches levels beyond comprehension, but through that fury an idea comes to mind. You're going to regret this in the morning.
You sigh, running a hand through your hair. Tell me what you are - and I'll give you a kiss."
Gus perks more than their cheerful face could express; smile reaching from ear to ear as they clap their hands together. Were the markings under their eyes always pink hearts? You remembered them being yellow suns.
"Well now you're talking! I'll be a pink elephant if it means I get to smooch those pretty lips of yours, Y/n. I'll tell you exactly you want to hear, but just know that despite everything I tell you, I'm just a normal clown.

Marvel Headcannon 1:
Natasha Romanoff Past:
She never told the Avengers everything that happened to her in the Red Room, nor everything she did despite them trying to get her. Despite how she was taught (to have no emotion) she was afraid of what they'd say if they found out how bad the things she really did were.
She didn't even tell them her real name, and the newer ones (after AOU) didn't even know she was Russian.
Those that knew the most were: Bucky, Maria, Fury and Clint, the only ones to know her real name and the only ones to ever hear her intentionally speak with her natural voice and accent. She hides it in an attempt to stay hidden and keep her cover as Natasha Romanoff.
She also suffers from PTSD, but struggles to do much about it until Bucky got there. Once he did the both of them told eachother about their experiences and have gotten better. Some of these experiences they shared as they had worked together in the past, back when they both were with the KGB. She has nightmares and flashbacks, and hates going to Russia because it reminds her of what happened to her, and because she doesn't feel and knows she isn't safe there.
She feels safest with Bucky. Maria helps how she can, so does Clint. Fury tries but he doesn't know how to, but does only send her to Russia if she is the only one who can do it.
She and Bucky used to date back when they knew eachother and they begun to date again after they met again, both feeling safest and calmest with the other.

relationship hcs ; jessie
Tumblr media
requested by ; anonymous (21/05/23)
fandom(s) ; pokémon
fandom masterlist(s) ; here
character(s) ; jessie
outline ; “OH MY GOD IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE WILLING TO WRITE FOR TEAM ROCKET IM SO EXCITED
ok ok so uh may I request general dating hcs for both jessie and james please ? (maybe someone who has a good living since both are homeless 🥹) THANK YOU !!”
warning(s) ; none, just fluff!
if there’s one thing that jessie values it’s her appearance, flying into a rage if her face or hair are even the slightest bit damaged during a mission, and that goes tenfold when it comes to you — she’s constantly trying to look her best and can spend hours perfecting her look before the two of you go out on a date (stressing over her outfit and accessories, doing and redoing her makeup because it wasn’t symmetrical enough, and taking her time to style her hair perfectly) even if it’s something casual like a night spend indoors or a walk around the park, because she can’t imagine not looking her best for you (yes, even if you tell her that she’s beautiful regardless of what she wears as she does take pride in her appearance beyond just your opinion of it)
and, speaking of clothing and accessories, she will ‘borrow’ your things whenever she stays over at your home: using your toiletries to smell like you, borrowing your shirts to sleep in, wearing your hoodies and jumpers out and about, etc. — and you’re also the only person who she’s alright with sharing some of her own items (your stuff is hers and most of her stuff is still hers, she’ll let you know what you can borrow if you ask)
she has an extremely short temper and has a terrifying type of anger about her that is sure to make even those closest to her ready to run and hide — this can make arguments and disagreements between the two of you extremely volatile unless you’re able to appeal to her more vain side and sandwich your concerns between compliments to placate you, but it also means that whenever she’s in a jealous or protective mood that the issue usually sorts itself out before she needs to do anything drastic (aka the offending party runs away as to avoid her wrath)
on a related note: when jessie gets jealous she becomes extremely confrontational with the offending party and extremely clingy with you — externally she’s on the offensive and terrifyingly angry, but internally she’s afraid of you leaving her for someone ‘better’ which leads to her fury worsening (she has a lot of issues stemming from her childhood)
she loves attention and popularity, and at times this can lead to her brushing you off when she’s caught up in whatever wave of positivity she’s in the middle of, but she never goes as far as undermining your relationship — she’s actually fiercely loyal to you and will turn her nose up at anyone who tries to ask her out (she may hate rejection herself but she’s not above doing it to someone else; she is a taken woman, after all)
domesticity really suits jessie and when she’s staying with you between missions for team rocket she seems so very at home doing simple couple things with you: going out on random dates, running errands (and getting side tracked because she’s a shopaholic), doing chores like cleaning and laundry, cooking together, eating meals together, watching whatever crap is on the television whilst cuddled up on the settee, using her knack for sewing to repair any clothes/items that were damaged on her person during missions or at home when she was away, etc. — moments like this are the calmest you’ll ever see your girlfriend and her team mates (who will occasionally stay with you if they can’t find alternate accommodation) also quickly picked up on this and will tease her for becoming your ‘house wife’ (which inevitably causes her temper to return and an argument to start)
if you have any snake like pokemon then you can guarantee that jessie will be making every excuse to spend time with them: training, playing, lounging, and so on — and the same goes for any poison types (bonus points if you have an ekans of your own for hers to play with, or any dratinis or smoochums because she just really loves them)
as far as sleeping arrangements go, she loves being curled up on her side with her face buried in your chest as you wrap your arms around her — it makes her feel loved, safe, and warm, and she never sleeps quite as soundly when she’s away from you
her default pet name for you is ‘darling’, but she’s also been known to call you ‘sweetie’ and variations thereof — and the cuter the pet name you use for her the better as far as she’s concerned

Tech as a father Chapter 19
Back at work since monday, what a re adjustment, and my wrist acting up but feels better now.
Masterlist
Chapter 19: Protective
As Tech stormed back into the shared barracks, cradling Orion tightly in his arms, the sight of his usually composed and unflappable demeanour now replaced by anger and fury was enough to surprise his fellow Clone Force 99 members. They exchanged concerned glances, realizing that something significant had occurred. Hunter, always the leader and protector of the squad, approached Tech with a furrowed brow. "Tech, what's going on?" he inquired, his tone laced with genuine concern.
Tech, attempting to collect himself, opened and closed his mouth several times, struggling to find the words to explain the injustice he had just witnessed. He didn't want to lose his composure further, especially in front of Orion. The infant, sensing his father's tension, clung to Tech's shirt, his wide eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. Unable to put his emotions into words, Tech reached into a pocket of his utility belt and retrieved the syringe device. He placed it forcefully on the table in front of Hunter, his voice filled with a simmering anger as he tersely stated, "That happened."
The device clattered onto the surface, its presence a stark reminder of the violation Tech believed the Kaminoans had committed against his son. The rest of the squad gathered around, their expressions shifting from curiosity to anger as they realized the implications of the syringe. Crosshair, always blunt and to the point, clenched his fists and growled, "They used that on Orion?" Wrecker's massive frame tensed, his protective instincts flaring as he glared at the device. "No one hurts our little buddy!"
Echo, who had experienced his share of suffering at the hands of experiments, placed a reassuring hand on Tech's shoulder. "Tech, we've got your back. What do you want to do about this?" Tech, still holding Orion securely, took a deep breath, his anger tempered by the solidarity of his brothers. "We need to make sure this never happens again," he declared. "Orion is not a subject for their experiments. He's my son, and I'll protect him." With the Clone Force 99 standing united, a renewed determination settled in their hearts. They would ensure that Orion remained safe and that the Kaminoans understood the consequences of their actions. Tech had shown them that when it came to protecting family, even the calmest member of the squad could become a force to be reckoned with.
Tech, having been shaken by the incident with the Kaminoan scientists attempting to take a blood sample from Orion, had become even more protective of his son. He felt that nowhere on Kamino was truly safe, and so he took Orion with him wherever he could, including the shower facilities. It wasn't an easy feat to shower while holding a now 4 month old infant, but Tech had adapted quickly. He had a routine down to a science, ensuring that the water temperature was just right and that he kept a firm but gentle grip on Orion. Tech knew that accidents could happen in an instant, and he couldn't afford to let his guard down.
As the warm water cascaded down, Tech made sure to keep his movements steady and precise. He washed himself with one hand while cradling Orion securely with the other. Despite the added challenge, he cherished these moments with his son. The feeling of the water droplets on his skin, the soothing sound of the shower, and the closeness he shared with Orion provided a sense of comfort in the midst of uncertainty. Orion, for his part, seemed to enjoy the experience. The warm water and the sound of the showerhead seemed to calm him, and he gurgled and cooed in response. Tech couldn't help but smile as he watched his son's tiny fingers reach out to touch the water droplets, his curiosity evident even at such a young age. Once their shower was complete, Tech carefully dried Orion and dressed him in a fresh set of clothes. He was determined to protect his son at all costs, even if it meant taking him into unconventional places like the shower. In a world as unpredictable as theirs, every precaution was necessary to ensure Orion's safety and well-being.
A few days later Hunter's enhanced senses kicked in, and he turned his gaze towards the viewing platform above the mess hall. Through the transparent glass, he could make out the unmistakable figures of the Kaminoans. They were watching Orion, their eyes fixed on the child with a mixture of curiosity and calculation. Hunter's expression hardened as he observed the Kaminoans' actions. He didn't like the feeling of being watched, especially when it concerned someone as vulnerable as Orion. "Tech," he muttered lowly to his brother, not wanting to cause a scene, "the Kaminoans are up there, watching Orion." Tech's brow furrowed, and he instinctively tightened his hold on Orion. He wasn't surprised by their interest in the child, but he didn't appreciate the intrusion. "Keep an eye on them," Tech replied in a hushed tone, his protective instincts flaring. "I'll make sure they don't get any closer to him." Crosshair looks at Orion before focusing on his meal again. "I do need new training targets anyway." The squad exchanged subtle glances, their senses on high alert as they continued to enjoy their meal while keeping an eye on the Kaminoan observers. While Orion is oblivious and simply tries to tug, with his tiny fingers, on his father’s sleeve and glove that peaks out from the armour. It was a reminder that, despite their unique bond with Orion, they were still under the scrutiny of the very people who had created them, and now, their family.

everybody  needs  a  little  time  away,  i  heard  her  say,  from  each  other.  even  lovers  need  a  holiday,  far  away,  from  each  other…  
peter  cetera’s  voice  pours  from  the  speakers  and  fills  the  sweet-smelling  interior  of  the  red  jeep  wrangler  with  a  hint  of  nostalgia,  but  the  driver  doesn’t  seem  to  notice.  her  sightless  eyes  remain  fixated  on  the  winding  road  ahead,  looking  but  not  really  seeing.  a  fresh  wave  of  tears  blurring  her  vision,  and  still  her  foot  continues  to  steadily  apply  more  and  more  pressure  to  the  gas  pedal.  she  could  care  less  she’s  a  long  way  from  home,  on  decker  canyon  road;  the  road  famous  for  two  things  —  an  impressive  pile  of  rust-covered  chassis  of  cars  adorning  its  hills,  and  its  uncanny  ability  to  give  even  the  calmest  drivers  gray  hair  and  forehead  wrinkles.  she  should  pay  attention  to  her  surroundings  as  one  wrong  turn,  one  slip  of  a  wheel  and  it’ll  all  be  over,  but…  that  thought  no  longer  scares  her.  in  fact,  she  embraces  it.  she’s  been  driving  aimlessly  for  almost  two  hours  now,  trying  to  muster  enough  courage  and  looking  for  the  perfect  spot  to  put  an  end  to  all  this  pain.  she  doesn’t  remember  when  exactly  she  lost  all  will  to  live  but  it  must  have  been  a  gradual  process,  and  now  her  mind’s  made  up  —  she  needs  a  way  out…  
she  catches  a  glimpse  of  her  face  in  the  rearview  mirror  and  quickly  looks  away,  appalled  by  what’s  looking  back  at  her.  she  resembles  something  straight  out  of  a  nightmare.  her  lip  is  busted  and  swollen,  dry  blood  clinging  to  the  corner  of  her  mouth.  her  cheeks  are  puffy  and  red,  tears  mixed  with  mascara  racing  across  the  irritated  skin.  a  purple  bruise  is  beginning  to  bloom  beneath  her  left  eye.  she  makes  a  mental  note  to  herself  to  cancel  that  trip  to  new  york  tomorrow  morning,  no  fashion  week  or  photoshoot  for  her,  not  anytime  soon,  her  husband  sorted  that  out.  it  was  a  particularly  nasty  fight,  even  as  for  their  standards.  the  most  violent  one  yet,  she  thinks,  feeling  helpless.  it  all  started  when  the  singer  came  back  home  later  than  expected,  smelling  like  cheap  beer  and  another  woman’s  perfume,  and  she  decided  to  confront  him  right  there  and  then.  where’d  he  been?  with  whom?  she  threw  all  kinds  of  accusations  at  him  before  he  even  managed  to  take  off  his  jacket.  she  told  him  she  knew  he’d  been  tempering  with  her  birth  control  —  did  he  really  think  she  was  an  idiot  and  wouldn’t  see  a  difference?  then  she  told  him,  or  rather  half-screamed  half-cried,  that  she  was  tired  of  the  constant  lack  of  attention  from  him.  he  was  never  there  for  her,  not  unless  he  wanted  something  from  her,  all  while  expecting  her  to  be  available  at  any  given  time.  and  so  it  went  from  there,  neither  needing  more  than  a  spark  to  ignite  their  fury.  at  some  point,  she  ended  up  throwing  an  ashtray  at  him,  aimed  at  his  face  but  it  hit  him  in  the  shoulder.  glass  scattered  everywhere.  she  also  delivered  the  first  slap.  though,  when  he  finally  retaliated,  she  didn’t  really  stand  a  chance.
and  so  here  she  is,  all  alone,  with  nowhere  to  go  and  a  head  full  of  terrifying  ideas.  she  can’t  go  back  home  now,  doesn’t  want  to  go  back  home  now.  or  really  ever  again.  she’s  finally  had  enough.  she  can’t  keep  going  on  like  this.  she’s  decided  that  she  won’t  take  him  back  no  matter  what  he  does  or  says.  and  who  knows,  maybe  he  won’t  come  crawling  back  this  time  ‘round?  maybe  he’ll  keep  his  word  and  stay  away  from  her.  wouldn’t  that  be  something?  the  only  thing  that  she’ll  miss  is  his  dog,  but  other  than  that,  she  figures  she’ll  finally  feel  free,  find  happiness  again.  it  will  take  time,  but  she’ll  get  through  it.  unfortunately,  as  she’s  dwelling  over  the  fateful  events  of  tonight,  the  low-fuel  warning  light  illuminates  on  the  dashboard  and  captures  her  attention.  even  in  the  state  that  she’s  in,  she  figures  she  can’t  let  her  car  die  in  the  middle  of  nowhere  in  almost  complete  darkness.  she  might  have  a  death  wish,  but  she  wouldn’t  want  the  sentence  to  be  carried  out  by  some  hobos  with  switchblade  knives  and  rotting  teeth.  besides,  she’s  growing  more  and  more  tired,  and  who  is  she  kidding?  she  could  spend  the  next  ten  hours  in  this  car  and  still  she  wouldn’t  have  the  guts  to  drive  it  off  a  cliff.
she  has  to  find  a  place  to  stay,  but  her  options  are  limited  to  say  the  least.  she  thinks  about  going  to  the  only  place  where  she’ll  always  be  safe  and  loved  —  her  mother’s  house.  she  wants  nothing  more  than  for  her  mom  to  take  her  into  her  arms  and  hold  her,  tell  her  that  she  did  the  right  thing  by  finally  leaving  that  man.  however,  one  more  glance  at  her  reflection  has  her  coming  back  to  her  senses.  she  simply  can’t  let  her  own  mother  see  her  like  this.  it  would  break  venetia’s  heart.  she  could  go  to  meegan,  but  meegan’s  seen  too  much  already  and  it  wouldn’t  be  fair  to  put  her  through  this  all  over  again.  she  could  go  to  taryn’s,  but  she’s  too  embarrassed.  her  childhood  friend’s  never  been  particularly  supportive  of  her  relationship  with  the  singer,  and  erin  doubts  she  could  handle  a  single  didn’t  i  tell  you  so?  she  figures  she  could  go  to  mandy’s,  but  it’s  been  almost  two  months  since  the  last  time  they  spoke.  she  and  duff  finalized  their  divorce  at  the  beginning  of  april,  and  although  the  two  women  had  tried  to  stay  in  touch  at  first,  their  bond  deteriorated.  if  erin  showed  up  at  her  doorstep  now,  she’d  be  putting  both  of  them  in  an  uncomfortable  position.  she  could  always  go  to  a  motel,  but  even  though  she’s  toying  with  the  idea  of  ending  her  life,  she  doesn’t  want  to  go  down  quietly.  what  she  really  wants  is  attention.  and  to  make  the  redhead  pay  for  her  suffering.  and  who  else  knows  just  how  awful  her  husband  can  be?  who  would  take  her  side  in  a  heartbeat  in  any  situation?  who  wouldn’t  pity  her  or  look  away  from  her  bruised  face  in  disgust?  who  could  help  her  get  rid  of  this  pain?  there’s  only  one  person,  she  decides  and  heads  for  laurel  terrace  where  an  old  friend  of  hers  currently  resides. 
steven.  she’s  never  felt  any  sort  of  romantic  attraction  towards  the  drummer,  even  though  neither  can  deny  the  strange  tension  that  blooms  between  them  when  their  eyes  meet  or  hands  brush  against  one  another  by  accident.  they’re  good  friends,  that’s  all  there  is  to  it,  erin  insists  and  her  heart  agrees  —  she’s  only  ever  truly  loved  one  man  and  never  felt  attracted  to  any  of  his  brothers.  how  weird  would  that  be?  but  she’d  have  to  be  blind  and  stupid  to  think  steven  feels  the  same  way  about  her.  he  must  have  had  a  crush  on  her  at  some  point  (and  maybe  still  does),  or  maybe  he  only  found  her  interesting  because  of  the  strange  rivalry  between  him  and  axl  that’d  been  going  on  for  months  back  when  they  first  started  hanging  out.  either  way  and  whatever  the  reason,  he’s  always  in  her  corner.  he  greets  her  with  a  smile,  cracks  jokes  and  makes  her  laugh  even  when  she  doesn’t  feel  like  laughing…  and  unlike  the  other  guys,  who  would  much  rather  swallow  a  pile  of  shattered  glass  than  openly  take  a  side  in  the  war  of  the  roses,  he  never  hesitates  to  choose  her  and  call  axl  out  on  his  behavior.  she  thinks  their  bond  goes  back  to  that  time  when  the  singer  slept  with  adriana.  erin  had  no  one  to  confide  in  and  steven  was  the  one  that  she  came  to,  the  one  who  surely  understood  her  pain  to  a  certain  degree  and  could  sympathize  with  her,  let  her  cry  on  his  shoulder.  she’s  heard  rumors  that  he’s  no  longer  the  same  person  now,  that  his  addiction’s  spiraled  out  of  control,  but  she,  naively,  refuses  to  believe  that.  they  all  do  drugs  and  drink.  they’re  only  ganging  up  on  him  because  he  keeps  getting  under  axl’s  skin,  and  everyone  always  does  as  axl  pleases…  somehow,  at  this  particular  moment,  that  fact  only  makes  steven’s  house  a  more  attractive  destination  in  erin’s  eyes.  she  won’t  have  to  lie  to  him  about  what’s  happened  to  her  and  he’ll  surely  have  something  for  her  pain.  something  stronger  than  valium.  and  so  she  makes  up  her  mind.
it’s  an  hour  long  drive,  but  she  makes  it  in  almost  half  that  time.  driving  recklessly  just  because  at  this  point  she’s  got  nothing  to  lose,  wondering  if  she’ll  eventually  run  out  of  gas  or  crash  into  some  truck.  her  thoughts  keep  coming  back  to  the  fight,  replaying  all  the  horrible  things  that  she  said  to  axl,  all  the  horrible  things  he  said  to  her,  causing  more  tears  to  well  up  in  her  tired  eyes.  her  mind’s  clearly  trying  to  guilt  her,  make  it  seem  like  maybe  she’s  deserved  all  this.  she  reminds  herself  that  she  has  to  be  strong,  that  she  can’t  go  back  now.  every  time  her  heart  pangs  and  she  begins  to  feel  bad,  she  lifts  her  gaze  and  finds  her  reflection  in  the  rearview  mirror.  a  good  enough  reminder  as  to  why  she  can  never  go  back  home.  it’s  no  longer  her  home.  she  can’t  live  with  that  man,  but  she  also  can’t  live  without  him…  the  irony,  she  thinks,  shifting  the  car  into  park  and  shutting  off  the  engine  in  the  driveway  of  her  friend’s  house.  
it  takes  steven  a  long  moment  to  come  to  the  door  and  another  to  actually  unlock  it.  she  can  hear  him  fumbling  with  the  chain,  struggling  to  get  it  off  the  hook.  but  when  he  finally  succeeds  and  invites  her  in,  erin  finds  herself  frozen  in  place  and  nearly  gasps.  he  looks  worse  than  ever.  his  clothes  have  sweat-stains  on  them  and  smell  absolutely  foul,  a  combination  of  booze  and  smoke  and  piss.  his  hair  hasn’t  been  brushed  in  days,  and  when  he  opens  his  mouth  to  mumble  a  surprised  hello,  erin,  she  realizes  that  neither  have  his  teeth.  they’re  yellowish,  with  remnants  of  whatever  it  was  that  he’d  had  for  dinner  stuck  in  between.  one  look  into  his  eyes  and  she  knows  he’s  both  drunk  and  high,  knows  all  the  rumors  are  in  fact  true,  and  for  a  second  feels  sick  to  her  stomach,  contemplates  abandoning  her  plan  altogether  and  coming  up  with  some  silly  excuse  for  her  unexpected  visit.  but  where  would  she  go  then?  she  tells  herself  that  she’s  feeling  so  uneasy  solely  because  she  hasn’t  eaten  much  today,  hasn’t  slept  either.  her  stomach  feels  like  it’s  been  scraped  from  the  inside,  but  she  ignores  it  and  forces  herself  to  step  inside,  closes  the  door  behind  herself.  the  man  in  front  of  her  is  no  longer  the  person  that  she  used  to  know  and  love  in  the  platonic  way,  he’s  just  a  shell  now,  but  she  ignores  that,  too.  the  hollow  look  in  his  eyes,  the  odor.  he  needs  help  and  all  his  friends  have  turned  their  backs  on  him,  that’s  why  he’s  changed  so  much,  she  tells  herself,  feeling  sorry  for  him.
he  leads  her  to  a  darkened,  sunken  living  room,  where  heavy,  black  curtains  have  been  closed  for  the  night,  blocking  any  light  from  the  street.  the  place  is  a  mess,  much  like  its  owner,  but  erin  pushes  a  few  empty  cans  and  used  syringe  off  the  couch  and  sits  down  all  the  same,  pretending  she  doesn’t  see  how  what  used  to  be  a  nice,  cozy  home  is  now  a  mix  between  a  drug  den  and  garbage  dump.  he  offers  her  a  drink  and  she  takes  it,  out  of  politeness  but  also  because  she  really  needs  to  forget  about  what  happened  between  her  and  axl.  she  feels  like  she’s  wasted  her  life  —  who  is  she  without  him?  no  one.  besides,  she  tells  herself,  she  can’t  be  such  a  priss.  she’s  never  been  much  of  a  drinker  and  so  it  takes  all  of  her  willpower  not  to  just  spit  that  first  sip  of  her  beer  out.  she  holds  on,  forces  herself  to  swallow  and  then  opens  up  almost  immediately,  feeling  the  need  to  get  it  all  off  her  chest.  
she  sniffles  and  wipes  at  her  cheeks  while  retelling  the  story  of  how  she  got  to  where  she  is,  leaving  out  a  few  details  that  could  make  her  look  bad.  she  can’t  tell  if  steven’s  really  listening  to  her  or  just  nodding  his  head  and  dozing  off,  his  eyes  are  barely  open,  but  she  keeps  talking  to  him  all  the  same.  when  he  finally  regains  control  over  his  mind  and  body,  at  least  to  a  certain  degree,  he  tells  her  that  she  deserves  better,  that  he  knows  the  singer  just  as  well  as  she  does  and  he’s  simply  not  going  to  change  his  ways,  trades  a  secret  for  a  secret  even  and  fills  her  head  with  the  kind  of  stories  that  axl  kept  hidden  from  her  —  whether  they’re  true  or  not  is  a  whole  different  thing,  of  course,  but  she  absorbs  them  either  way.  they  leave  her  feeling  even  more  horrible,  even  more  unloved,  worthless,  and  that’s  when  the  drummer  offers  to  help  her  out.  she  doesn’t  even  have  to  ask,  he  comes  up  with  the  idea  to  give  her  something  for  the  pain,  claims  to  have  the  perfect  remedy,  one  he’s  been  waiting  to  share  it  with  her.
they  go  upstairs.  she  follows  him  to  his  bedroom  like  a  lost  puppy,  not  really  thinking  much  of  it  because  they’re  good  friends  and  he’s  just  trying  to  help  her  in  a  way  that  no  one  else  would  or  could.  everybody  else  is  too  scared  of  axl  to  even  consider  sharing  their  drugs  with  her,  or  maybe  too  sane  to  even  think  about  introducing  a  friend  to  heroin.  most  people  would  take  one  look  at  her  and  know  that  she’s  having  a  mental  breakdown  and  needs  a  therapist,  not  an  addiction.  but  steven’s  past  the  point  of  caring,  all  he  can  think  of  is  another  high  and  the  fact  that  he’s  waited  for  this  woman  to  come  to  him  for  years.  here  she  is,  finally  seeing  that  he’s  a  better  man  than  the  one  who  broke  her  heart,  that  he’d  never  lay  a  hand  on  her.  he  helps  her  out  because  she’s  trembling,  her  hands  shaking  as  she  tells  him  she’s  too  scared  of  needles  to  do  it  herself.  an  anxious  laugh  rolling  off  her  tongue,  pale  blue  eyes  scanning  the  place  for  an  escape  route.  she  contemplates  backing  out,  but  he  talks  her  out  of  it,  assures  her  this  is  exactly  what  she  needs.  this  will  make  all  her  problems  disappear.  and  so  she  extends  her  skinny  arm,  hoping  he  really  will  end  her  suffering.  
it  stings  only  for  a  second,  but  then  an  impossible  warmth  begins  to  spread  throughout  her  entire  body.  she  licks  her  swollen  lips,  tasting  her  own  blood  but  no  longer  wincing.  she  closes  her  eyes,  fireworks  exploding  behind  her  eyelids,  ringing  in  her  ears.  but  something’s  wrong  and  deep  down  she  can  sense  it.  something’s  wrong  with  her  body,  with  steven,  too,  with  this  whole  situation.  it  hits  her  like  a  freight  train  —  she  doesn’t  want  to  be  here,  she  wants  to  go  home  to  axl.  her  chest  feels  heavy,  so  heavy  that  she  can  barely  hold  herself  up,  let  alone  take  a  deep  breath.  her  back  collides  with  the  soft  mattress  below  and  it’s  like  a  carousel,  the  world  around  is  spinning  so  fast.  for  a  split  second,  she’s  feeling  nauseous  and  even  tries  to  signal  that  to  her  friend,  but…  is  she  making  sounds  or  just  moving  her  lips?  she  knows  steven’s  saying  something  back  to  her,  but  it  seems  that  his  voice  is  coming  from  miles  away.  are  they  underwater?  would  explain  why  it’s  so  hard  to  breathe.  are  her  ribs  made  of  lead?  she  can  feel  steven’s  breath  on  her  cheek,  his  hand  touching  her  stomach,  but  her  skin’s  burning  up  at  that  point,  and  she  couldn’t  protest  or  panic  even  if  she  wanted  to.  the  darkness  and  that  impossible  warmth  begin  to  engulf  her  whole.  gosh,  there  really  must  be  something  heavy  sitting  on  her  chest  because  she  can’t  breathe,  her  lungs  refuse  to  expand.  she  parts  her  bruised  lips  but  they’ve  already  begun  to  turn  purple.  the  last  thing  she  remembers  is  the  sound  of  knocking  coming  from  downstairs  —  what  she  doesn’t  know  is  the  man  waiting  outside,  andy,  will  save  her  life  tonight.  she’s  losing  consciousness  but  she  swears  she  can  see  her  husband’s  face.  her  mind,  deprived  of  oxygen,  must  be  playing  tricks  on  her  but  she  sees  him  and  runs  to  him,  wraps  her  arms  around  his  neck  and…  the  heavy,  comforting  warmth  of  his  embrace  feels  far  too  good  to  not  fade  into  as  everything  around  her  turns  into  dark  nothingness.

Only Teens 1
Summary: Next to being born to a wealthy family, where your and your boyfriend's parents own a successful company together, you are also on the straight path to succeeding as a young actress. But all that can be shattered with an unplanned teen pregnancy.

Your POV
Pregnant.
That's what the digital pregnancy test read. This sunny Saturday morning has turned into a nightmare.
My life is fucking over.
Tears streamed down your face as you held the white stick with shaky hands. You were 17, your boyfriend just turned 18 last week and you were 12th graders... There's no way you could raise a baby now. Your life was finally stepping on the right path, given that you were about to take one of the lead roles in the next part of a famous movie franchise.
But we used protection!
No, no, no... Mom's gonna kill me. And Jungkook too... Fuck!
Still, with your shaky hands, you lifted your phone to click on your boyfriend's contact. After just a few rings he answered.
- Good morning, Y/n! How are you? - he asked in his sexy morning voice.
- Jungkook... - you couldn't hold your voice back from cracking.
- Princess? What's wrong?
- We need to talk.
Jungkook's POV
Oh no... No, no, no... She's breaking up with me!
Why? What did I do wrong? Two years for nothing? But our relationship was good. Everyone at school envies us!
His heart was pounding in his chest, as he sat in his car and drove down to your family's mansion. Luckily he made it there safe. Y/n's parents were away on a business trip and her older half-brother, Jin was probably somewhere with his friends totally hungover after some party he went to, so she knew this was the calmest time to tell him.
As soon as he raised his hand to knock, she opened the door.
Oh, my God... she's so pale. And her eyes are puffy... Was she crying? Is she sick?
- Y/n... What's wrong? - he asked in the softest possible tone.
- Kook... - she broke down.
Oh, my baby...
Jungkook stood there for a split second, with widened eyes, but soon enough he laced her into his strong arms.
- Shhh... baby, it's okay. It's okay. - he kissed the crown of her head. - Talk to me, please.
What even...?
- I understand if you want to leave me, but... please... I can't do this alone. I need you!
She pulled away from the wet, teary spot she had left on Jungkook's shirt and reached into her back pocket, handing the white stick to his boyfriend.
Is it...? No... it's probably not what I think it is... Right? It can't be!
I can't be a father I'm 18 for fuck's sake! But we... we used protection. It must have broken...
- I need to think. -was all he said as he put the test back into her hands, and drove off with his car.
~
He was driving, and driving, totally unaware of his surroundings.
Where the hell am I?
He had no idea... Soon he parked the car close to a park, where he hoped he could have some fresh air.
She's probably joking...
She would never joke with something like that...
Fuck!
He sat down on a bench, millions of emotions flooding his soul. Anger, sadness, guilt...
Soon enough he couldn't stand sitting in one place anymore. He abruptly stood up and ran. Ran as far as his legs could carry him. He fucked up bad, he knew it. And there was no way back...
It was only about 2 hours later that he realized: she was home alone... more likely than not bawling her eyes out. And he left her at such a crucial time? She needs his support now more than ever!
You're such an asshole, Jungkook!
~
This time Jin, Y/n's brother opened the door.
Shit...
- Was it you? - the older asked with fury in his eyes.
Crap... he knows...
- I... um... We were... - Jungkook studdered.
- I have no idea what you did, - so he doesn't know. - but I came home to her curled up on the floor, totally miserable.
What have I done?
- C-Can I go see her?
Jin's face burned with pure rage.
- See her?! I think you saw enough, buddy!
A faint voice from upstairs broke the tension between the two boys for a second.
- Let him in.
Without another word Jungkook stormed past Jin and rushed up the stairs, taking the steps three at once. Carefully, not to startle her, he opened the door and set his eyes on the shivering girl, eyes red and puffy. She looked so small and breakable at that moment...
- Y/n...
- Jungkook... Are you lea-leaving me? - her voice was barely a whisper.
He took a slow step closer to her, so he was standing right in front of the girl. She looked up at him, hurt clearly shining in her eyes. He sat one hand on her cheek.
- Princess... no! I'm not leaving you. I know I behaved very immaturely. Forgive me? - he pleaded.
- Jungkook... yo-your reaction w-was natural for an 18-year-old hi-high school student who's going to become a fa-father.
I'm gonna be a father... What?
- That doesn't mean it was right...
He was cut off by the door slamming open. Jin barged in and everything happened at the speed of lightning.
Your POV
Your brother harshly grabbed the back of Jungkook's hoodie and yanked him against the wall, causing the family picture that was hung on it to shatter into tiny pieces.
- JIN! - you yelled, as you jumped up from the bed.
- Who's gonna be a father? - he hissed, looking down dangerously at your boyfriend.
He raised his fist to punch him but you managed to grab his arm, so he wouldn't hurt him.
~
It took at least 40 minutes for everything to cool down. You were now sitting on the couch next to Jungkook, Jin right in front of the two of you. He was sitting across the expensive coffee table on an armchair, arms and legs crossed, a blank expression on his face.
He was the one to break the silence.
- What the fuck guys?
Neither of you said anything.
We fucked up...
- You both fucked up...
Big time...
- Big time.  
- We aren't getting rid of it. - Jungkook said.
You looked up at him in shock. Obviously, you weren't considering abortion either, but knowing that he was on the same page as you made you feel safe. You knew he was sticking beside you through thin and thick.
- We know we messed up, but this baby... - he gulped. - It isn't the baby's fault. It's our's and we are taking full responsibility for our actions.
He looked down at you, what seemed like he was asking for reassurance. You nodded. He basically said everything you thought out loud.
Jin sighed.
- How far along are you?
- I don't know. I only found out this morning.
Silence set in the house. The three of you spent the next minutes searching for a private gynecologist on various online sites. You wanted to make sure you were in the best hands. Soon you had an appointment set for next Wednesday.
- When are you telling mom and dad. - Jin broke the silence.
I haven't thought about that yet... I can't tell them... Dad's gonna kill me! Okay, maybe Jungkook first, but...
- I... Can't t-tell them.
- You know that's not an option...
- Ca-can we at least wait for a lit-little while?
- Y/n... a little while? You can not delay such a thing...
- Give me a few days.
~
Those few days went by fast. It came too soon, and your parents were back from their business trip. In fact, Wednesday came.
You exited the school building and found Jungkook already waiting for you in front of the gate, in his car. You quickly got in.
- Hi. How are you? - he greeted you.
- Still the same as I felt an hour ago when you last asked me. - you smiled shyly.
He scratched the back of his neck and chuckled nervously.
- I know, but still...
- Thank you for asking though. - you flashed a small smile.
And he drove off.
Things between you have become a lot different since that day. The atmosphere around you was almost... awkward? Yes definitely. It's mostly like he became a little protective but in a strange way. It seemed like he now saw you as a very fragile object, that would break if he spoke too much or too loud.
- Nervous? - you asked.
- Very much... - he breathed out a nervous laugh.
- Me too.
That was the only encounter you had during the whole drive to the doctor's office.
Soon after you got there and told the receptionist what you came for, the doctor welcomed you into the examination room.
- Miss Y/n Y/l/n?
- Yeah... That's me.
He warmly smiled at both of you.
- And this gentleman is...?
- Jeon Jungkook, Mr. Kim.
- Pleasure to meet you.
He led you to a bed next to the ultrasound machine. The room was bright from the large windows which let the warm afternoon sunlight flood the place. The overall atmosphere was friendly and calm, which was exactly what you needed considering the stressful situation you were in. The office also seemed very well equipped, which told you, you were in good hands.
- Alright, so this is your first check-up if I understood right, and you are teen parents.
- Yeah... - your cheeks flushed red in embarrassment.
- No, no... don't be ashamed of that. Let's face it, it's not the best thing in the world, but you are willing to take responsibility, and that's something I very much respect.
Wow... he's so kind!
- Besides, - he continued. - My mother went through the same thing when she had me, but she didn't have any support from either her parents or her boyfriend. So I'm more than happy to help. Not just as a gynecologist, but as someone, you both can share your problems with and come for advice.
- Th-thank you, Mr. Kim!
- Of course! - he smiled. - Now, let's take a look at your baby.
Oh, God... I have no idea how this is going to work... I'm scared.
You laid down on the bed and rolled your shirt up. He alerted you that the gel was going to be cold, which really made you flinch the second he squeezed some on your bare stomach. Jungkook was quick to grab your hand. The way he rubbed his thumb against the back of your hand soothed you.
Mr. Kim began working g with the ultrasound wand and soon enough he stopped when a tiny little blip appeared on the screen. That was your baby.
Jungkook's POV
As soon as he set an eye on the blurry figure on the screen, he stopped rubbing your hand, but never let go.
That... That is... My baby.
- There it is! - the doctor smiled. - Beautiful!
Exactly!
Mr. Kim pressed another button on the machine and a loud, consistent thrashing sound echoed through the room, filling both of your hearts with warmth.
- Nice and strong heartbeat. - he stated. - Baby looks totally healthy and from the size of it, it seems like you're a little over 6 weeks.
It's healthy!
- I'm going to print out a few copies of the sonograms and write you a perscription of the prenatal vitamins you shall take from now on.
And with that, he left the room.
Y/n slowly turned her head towards him. That's when he realized, that both of their eyes were full of tears.
- Jungkook... - she breathed.
- Y/n!
He leaned down and pressed a long and passionate kiss on her lips.
Were they scared as hell? Heck yes! But the sight of their unexpected creation, the sound of its little heart beating assured them, that they were going to do everything in their abilities to make sure this child had everything in the world and grew up in a full and loving family.
With that, Jungkook put the sonogram picture in his phone case. And never took it out ever since.

Thinking about Donnie helping Angel with her temper.
A lot of the time when I’m writing for them I find myself focusing on her helping him with his feelings. Largely because he’s been through so much, and she’s stubborn enough to get it out of him. But the thing is, Angel is an angry little gremlin. We get more character development for her in IDW, and one of my fave moments is her explaining to her friend Alopex that the world just feels unfair since her mom died, and she knows it won’t fix anything but she wants to punch some guys about it. She’s also used this to motivate her to actually help and defend the innocent, but still she insists “it ain’t noble or nothing.”
I really like this for her. Lots of characters in TMNT deal with anger issues, it’s a pretty big theme (why isn’t Raph the main character for real).
In 2003 we don’t know as much about Angel, but we do know she’s close with Casey, who’s whole thing is fury with the Dragons over his dad’s death (sir you are so valid), and that she was going to join the Purple Dragons (does she? Not know his backstory? Yeah that makes sense he probably didn’t tell her. Man poor Casey). I headcanon that just like in IDW, she lost her mom at a young age, grief kinda shaped her psyche, and she never really found a place to put all the rage. We also see her and Leatherhead being friends at April’s wedding which. Yessss. Her and Raph and Leatherhead the Hotheads with Gentle Hearts. More more more!!
So about my original point. Donnie is canonically a very calming presence for Raph and for Leatherhead. Because he doesn’t dismiss or try to judge their anger. Actually he sometimes does with Raph, but that’s because that’s the norm in their home (ow), also the thing with Donnie is that when he thinks Mikey’s in trouble all logic flies out the window (ie he yells at Raph over the Pipe Incident). Still. Often he’s just like, ‘Yeah lol. That is kind of annoying. I think you’re kewl :)’ And they calm down pretty fast. That’s what I’m imagining with Angel.
Angel, got cut off in traffic: ooooagh that guy— 😡
Donnie, calmest voice ever: He’s not a very good driver, is he? Good thing you are though 😌
Angel: Yeah you’re right, he’s probably just having a bad day 😌
Donnie: Naw I think he sucks but I’m glad you feel better lol

I worship gods who uphold justice. we are the storm, the fury. and I will pray, and I will act until Justice is served.
and I can only hope that you all join as well.
Last post I'll make about it, but I want you guys to know that is a safe space . I don't often -if ever- talk about LGBT and whatever on here because I choose to separate it from my witchblog. but a large portion of you who are witches are LGBT, ARE female in general, and are worthy of protecting regardless of where you stand.
I am angry.
and if you are against anything, and are choosing to celebrate what has happened, please, just unfollow me. because I do not agree with that ideology. not by a long shot, and those of you who know me personally, know this is the calmest, and nicest way I'm ever going to say it.
if you can't allow people to live as they are, we have no business talking.
