Warnings: A kid showing her middle finger
Wordcount: 1.6k
✨Masterlist✨ _____________________________
Spencer is a technophobe. That’s why (Y/N) has limited access to any kind of electronics, which is a good thing for a three year old. The only sort she is allowed to use is the TV in the living room and even there her choices are limited to the several DVDs the little family owns and cable TV. Emily is in the process of persuading him to get a subscription to a streaming service for (Y/N)’s sake.
“Ok, Sweetheart. One hour of TV today before eating dinner and getting ready for bed, like we negotiated”, Spencer reminds his daughter before turning it on a kid’s channel. She nods, already engrossed by Peppa Pig hanging up on that sheep for being able to whistle.
Earlier the two Reids made a deal: If (Y/N) got all the states and their capitals right, she is allowed one hour of television. This may sound like he forced her to learn this information, but it’s really just a way to stimulate her brain and the toddler is eager to learn. Spencer only has to make it look like she has a gain in it.
The young doctor doesn’t like to leave his kid alone while watching TV. It’s not because he can’t leave her on her own for a few minutes. Spencer wants full control over what (Y/N) sees and what not. Especially he can tell what effects something has on a child and he doesn’t want her exposed to things she shouldn’t be subjected to at her age.
“Daddy, why are the animals talking to each other? I know they are translating all languages to us, but a pig speaks not sheep language.” Spencer is slightly baffled at her question. It’s mostly cute that she explains most things to herself in such a plausible way.
“Uhm, well Sweetheart. You have to-” Saved by the bell. Or more like the ring of his cellphone. Still he hesitates to get it. It’s Morgan, who probably calls because the team needs help with the case.
Spencer had to stay behind for this one, because he planned on taking his vacation days with (Y/N) to fly up to Las Vegas to visit her grandma. But Diana spontaneously took the opportunity to go on a trip with the sanctorium. Now the two do all the things they don’t have the time for in their regular day.
They already were at the aquarium, visited three different museums and even went to the movies once to watch the latest disney movie. Spencer really had to keep himself from pointing out the inaccuracies to not spoil (Y/N)’s fun.
Now the father debates taking the call. He doesn’t want to leave his daughter alone while the TV is on, but also doesn’t want to talk about a case right in front of her. The option of turning the TV off is also from the table, because this would be just plain mean.
So he answers it, afraid that the voicemail will turn on. “Hey Morgan, wait a second, I’ll have to leave the room”, then he puts his hand over the speaker and turns to the toddler. “Sweetheart, I have to talk to your Uncle Derek real quick. I’ll be right back.” She nods and goes back to her cartoon.
But while her father is in the room next door, the audio gets awfully quiet. Frustrated, because she isn’t able to understand properly what they are saying, (Y/N) looks for the remote. And there it is, waiting patiently for her and her little toddler hands.
But instead of turning the volume up, she accidentally changes the channel to an old cop movie. Curious about what is happening on the screen, the girl leaves it on for a few seconds. Upon entering a room, another man greets him with his middle finger raised. (Y/N) looks at her own and tries to copy that movement. On the third try she kind of gets it.
Getting bored of not knowing what the plot of the movie is, she turns it back on the cartoon she watched earlier and settles back down on her little chair next to the table full of books (Spencer put it there to avoid her sitting too close to the TV and straining her eyes while watching her shows, the distance is perfectly measured).
Just as (Y/N) sits down Spencer re-enters the living room, feeling relieved because he was able to help his team. “Hey Sweetie, is everything alright?” Happily she nods, showing him the bird.
Spencer’s face? Just imagine the shook Pikachu. “(Y/N)! You don’t do that! This is really mean!” He tells her in a stern voice. Where did she learn that from? He doesn’t know it, but the genius is almost a 100% sure she saw someone on the street doing it, (Y/N) always was quick to pick things like these up.
The toddler looks at him with a sad face, close to tears. “I-i-i didn’t know. I’m sor-sorry”, she says, beginning to cry. Oh no, this is not what Spencer was aiming for. “No no no, don’t cry. It’s alright. I’m not mad at you. You just don’t do this, people can get really hurt by your gesture.”
After calming her down, he thinks of something they can do outside of their apartment, to forget the little incident. “Do you wanna go to the office with me? All your aunts and uncles are going to get there soon and maybe we can go eat dinner with them?” Excited by the thought of seeing her family, (Y/N) nods and jumps up to get her own little go bag.
It’s a bright pre-packed backpack with small coloring books, normal books, pencils and other knick knacks she might need when she goes out with her father. The only thing that they have to put in is her favorite stuffed animal of the day. They call it like Spencer’s work bag, because the toddler once overheard the word at the office and refused to call it something different than his.
“Hey, look at who decided to give us a little visit!” Penelope exclaims as soon as the team leaves the elevator. (Y/N) tries to keep up with her preppy step, desperately holding onto her hand to not lose her.
As they finally come to a halt in front of everybody, the little girl smiles sweetly at them. “Hi”, she says in the most adorable voice. But instead of doing her usual wave, she raises her small hand with her middle finger standing out.
You just hear a faint “NOO!” and a crashing noise before Spencer comes along in a jog. He scoops his daughter up, looking her into the eyes. He takes a few steps away from where the team is standing.
“(Y/N), what did we say about this gesture”, he asks her in a serious tone. Instantly tears start to form in her eyes again, but Spencer knows he has to be strong now. “(Y/N), you have to stop doing it. It can really hurt people. Do you remember when Jason made fun of the braids Auntie Penelope put your hair in?” She nods.
Meanwhile the team stands awkwardly in the background, not knowing what to do. They never really witnessed the genius reprimanding his daughter in front of them. Though it’s not directly in front them.
“You were hurt by his words. The same is with the gesture you just made. We don’t do this to people, we don’t want to make them feel bad. Now, I don’t want to punish you, because you didn’t really know the meaning. Just apologize to your Aunties and Uncles. Next time you do it, there will be a hard no on TV for a week.”
Quickly wiping her eyes, the toddler mutters a small “Ok Daddy.” Spencer’s heart hurts a little at that, but he needed to be stern in this one.
She wiggles out of his grasp and slowly makes her way over to the others. (Y/N) gives each of them a hug, apologizing individually to them.
“So, who wants to see the new pictures of Sergio I got on my desk?” Emily asks in a cheerful tone to break the awkward tension. Immediately the girl takes upon that offer and bounces off to the desk with her godmother in tow.
Spencer still stands near the elevator, watching the interaction going down through the glass doors. Hotch pats him on the shoulder. “I know it’s difficult to be mad at them or strict even, but you did the right thing”, he reassures him briefly before making his way to his office. The genius smiles, as a parent you seldom get encouraging words about how you raise your child. It kind of feels like walking down a path with closed eyes. But on both sides are deep rivers with piranhas in them.
Derek takes a place beside his best friend. “You know, as serious as this is, it’s also as funny. I mean how she just smiled sweetly as a cupcake and deadass pulled her middle finger up like nobody’s business? My man, in your case I would keep a close eye on her during (Y/N)’s teen years.” Both laugh at the bizarre situation.
But luckily the toddler learned her lesson from this and stopped showing people the bird as a greeting. This is until she learns the next inappropriate thing, she should rather not do.

girl crush
Tumblr media
pairing: best friend!harry styles x reader;
warnings: none really just a smidge of angst but plenty of fluff. 
a/n: so here we are! i just ask of you to go kind on me because this is my first time, ok? and sort of self indulging. anyway. leave a comment/reblog if you do like it!
word count: about 2,8k. it’s a quick little thing.
It was a typical Tuesday, I’d woken up, drank my large-sized cup of coffee, and then spent almost five hours straight staring at my computer screens. Not that all of those hours had been any good, I searched and searched, but still hadn’t cracked just how I was supposed to solve the problem. Hell, about three times I was yelling at the machine, calling it ‘bloody stupid’ before trying another approach, still proven worthless. 
Lunch had been skipped, I barely took a bite of my grilled sandwich before diving back to the code lines, analysing. I’ve always been so good at cracking things, finishing hard puzzles… At least I needn’t worry about a deadline breathing down my neck, this particular feature would only be out to the end-users on the major release. 
Either way, the idea of not being able to come up with a solution bugged me. I could never leave things well enough alone if they were unsolved. It was only when one of my friends texted me about some old high school chick we both used to hate that was pregnant that I realised how late it was. My back hurt from spending too much time sitting down on my chair and I could feel my eyes tired, staring at a computer screen for so many hours wasn’t exactly too healthy. 
At least it put the tornado of thoughts I’ve been having for the past couple of weeks to ease. I didn’t want to think about how I had the worst timing ever. Or how I was a big coward for keeping this to myself. 
But… I couldn’t just tell him. Falling in love with your best friend seems easy in the movies, in reality, I was overwhelmed with anxiety. Harry and I grew up together, we were inseparable from the first time we shared toys in our old town’s playground. Never before I would’ve thought I’d be here, with butterflies rioting in my stomach when he flashed his green eyes at me. It’d be easy if I could just open up, only opening up meant I could lose our 20 and something years of friendship. That was just too much to lose.  
Now it seemed as if I had lost my chance. He’d gone out on a date with a girl. They’d been going out for a while. She was… breathtaking. Golden hair, brown eyes, freckles, and a body I wouldn’t ever have. Harry wasn’t the easiest to commit to someone, not that he was a womaniser or something within those lines… He just had problems. Like we all do, I suppose. He seemed genuinely interested in her, though, and it killed me inside to realise it. 
I looked toward a corner where a tiny pink ukulele rested and decided I could do with some singing. So I go over to pick it up, playing a couple of notes to see if it was tuned. It’d been a while since I last took it between my hands. Hadn’t enough time to do anything, if I was being honest. 
Sat back on my chair, I take my time to reminisce over a song I heard him humming a few days ago. Harry had been doing the dishes, something he hated, but I’d cooked for the two of us, so it was the least he could do. He laughed like a child all the way to the sink, even put on my pink apron. It wasn’t unusual for him to do them when he was in fact at home - which happened only a few handfuls of weeks at a time. 
Leaning against the counter top, I watched him. Then the humming began. One would think a singer would get enough on the stage, well, maybe they do, not him though. In the shower, sending texts, doing the dishes… Harry was always singing something. Low and more to himself. I couldn’t lie, even if I wanted to, that I love when he’s home, his entire being enough to warm up the place. 
That night I had been wearing one of his old tees, he leaves them everywhere. And it wasn’t unusual for me to “steal” some for myself, besides being comfy, especially the cotton sweaters, they all smelt like him. Felt homely to be inside them, as if he were sleeping next to me. 
“I’ve got a girl crush…” I start, unsure if I’ve got the tone right, “Hate to admit it, but I got a heart rush, it ain’t slowing down.”
My legs are crisscrossed as I rest further back onto the black cushion of my chair. Each note fueled the turmoil growing inside my chest. It was so true, every time I looked at her, the pictures on her Instagram were flawless… I wanted to have everything she had. Because if I did, maybe he would look at me differently, he’d see me in a different light. 
The very instrument on my hands had been a gift from him. I have always enjoyed playing the guitar, I came to write a few songs myself… But I’ve never seen it as something I’d want to do for a living. Didn’t like the spotlight very much, not that being friends with a worldwide known popstar helped. Paps seemed to be everywhere. It was just annoying how we couldn’t enjoy a single outing without being awakened with a buzzing phone. My other friends texting me the several headlines saying “Harry Styles has been seen yet again with childhood best friend, could they be dating?”
Got worse when we moved in together. The thing was… We didn’t really live together, yes, the house, more like a mansion if I was being honest, belonged to him and he stayed there whenever he was in London, which, if he was working too much, seldom happened. So no, we didn’t live together. Harry just thought it’d be nice for me to stay there since it was so empty all the time and I only said yes because I needed saving money to pay off the loan I had taken to cover my university tuition. It felt like a lifetime away. 
I stayed because I had grown spoiled. At first, I was annoyed he didn’t let me pay for the expenses whenever he was away, I was nowhere rich, but now I made more than enough to cover the bills, even for a house as big as this one, since most of it was inhabited. He insisted on me keeping it, doing fun things I wanted to do, and I shouldn’t worry about anything else. A couple of months later, I saw the appeal to his offer. I also knew my best friend well to know he was a stubborn son of a bitch.  
Everything changed when Harry told me about his golden girl. After so many years, we had grown aware of the other’s quirks, as I like to put it, we knew how to deal with one another. My point being was… Harry could be a bit sensitive when I told him about my dates, now it lights a spark of hope within me, back then, however, I brushed it off as him trying to act as a protective big brother. He, on the other hand, never had problems when talking about the people he dated to me. Often I wouldn’t care. This time… It happened right after the fatidic Tuesday. 
The pain stung like a sharp edge of a knife against my heart.  
“I wanna’ taste her lips, yeah, ‘cos they taste like you… I wanna’ drown myself in a bottle of her perfume...” The notes come out soft, I can hear a little metallic sound as my hands switch the notes and I keep singing the sad lyrics, “Yeah, ‘cos maybe then, you’d want me just as much...” 
“Thought I had a nightingale in this room,” His accent slipped through the sentence like butter on a warm toast, “‘lo, love.”
His presence startled me, I almost dropped the ukulele. It was way too early for him to be back home from his date. Part of me wanted to ask how it’d gone and in any other situation, I would’ve. Not tonight, though. Didn’t wanna know if she had kissed him good night. If he gave her his signature green-eyed glare when he wanted something… If he’d asked for another date. My heart wouldn’t be able to cope. 
“You scared me.” 
“I reckon you said I was fit like a daydream,” He stuffed his chest and I couldn’t help but laugh. 
“Are you actually quoting your ex-girlfriend?” Harry rolled his eyes, dismissing my comment completely, “Why are you home already?”
“D’ya want me to leave?”
“You are ridiculous,” I say as I stand up, the Fleetwood Mac tee I had on falling to my mid thighs. It was oversized because it didn’t belong to me,  which doesn’t go unnoticed by him, who has a cheeky grin directed at me. “Stop looking. You keep ditching them and I just happen to like these shirts.”
“I didn’t say anything, doll. But I was looking for that one, though I settled for that old pink striped sweater of yours.”
“So it’s with you?” My indignation seeps through, “I went nutty looking for that.”
“Looks better on me anyway.”
“Nonsense.”
The laughter shakes his whole body, yet again I am plowed with our childhood memories, that right there hadn’t changed. Harry still laughed like a little child, a boy with his blue truck toy. I felt warm inside, to watch him like that. To still have, after so long, a friend like he was to me.  
Harry goes quiet then, bright green staring right at me. I know what’s coming. It’s happened before - I sang about the boys I liked quite often, I suppose. So it was obvious he wanted to know who was stealing my attention this time. He wanted to know who I was singing about. 
“Get your mind out of the gutter.”
“Wha’? I didn’t even open my mouth.” 
“I know you,” Back on my feet, I grab my plate with the remains of what was supposed to be my lunch and head out to the kitchen. He followed me around like a stray puppy. 
The kitchen is an enormous place. Wooden cupboards with just about every piece of china one could dream of, fine crystal glasses for wine and champagne, bowls, plates, even goblets could be found. Inside the several drawers, besides the silver cutlery, I had managed to fold some table sheets I bought at a flea market. Harry would lose his mind if he knew where they came from. On the left corner, a tall two-door grey fridge, with a shopping list on its door to remind me that I needed to go out tomorrow to get things. Next to the two basin sink, was an electric cooktop that had become my best friend, I loved to cook there, staring out the window - the yard was beautiful, green grass all year long, though during spring the most gorgeous flowers blossomed. I loved that place very much.
Right in the middle was an island, my lone cactus trying to make it a little less plain. Which wasn’t that hard, the dark marble surface glimmered under the led light.  
After I threw out the sandwich and put the plate on the sink, I started pacing around to gather things for dinner, fresh tomatoes to make the sauce with homegrown onions and garlic. I liked cultivating my food. I got flour, eggs, olive oil, and salt. It was all I needed to make the dough.  
I could still feel his eyes on me, as I moved effortlessly through his kitchen, collecting everything I needed. 
“What do you want?”
“You’re too stressed,” Harry says, standing up straight and standing next to me, “Is it about the boy you were singing about? Or girl. I dunno.”
“Seriously?” Can’t help but shake my head, “That’s your approach? ’M not telling you, H.”
“Oh, you’re keepin’ secrets from me. That’s new.”
He grabs the knife on my hand, starting to chop the onion into tiny cubes. Always skillful with his hands, he was.
“‘M not keeping secrets. It’s just none of your business.” 
“Ouch.” Harry pours the onion into the pan, stealing the tomatoes to start chopping them as well. I focused on the dough. “You’re so adamant about not telling me I’ll start thinking it’s me.” 
The entire world stills for me when he says that out loud, and I don’t know what to say, so I keep cracking the eggs, pouring them over the flour then adding, by eye, what I considered to be enough of olive oil. At last, I put two pinches of salt into the mix.  
My silence seems to annoy him further. 
“C’mon, it was a joke.” He tries, gently grabbing my arm and I see myself having to stop mixing, “I really want to know, though, have to make sure you’re with someone worthy of you.”
“Why?”
Couldn’t look him in the eye, I have them glued to the bowl with the sticky batter. The hand on my arm sneaks to my back, he’s warm and I tremble under his touch, my breath comes out a bit harsher. 
Harry takes a deep breath before answering, “I care about you, bunny.”
“Is that all it is?” Now I dare to look up, to find those emeralds. I liked quite a lot to look at them, they were akin to shiny jewelry and I was the dazzled child. Right now they showed nothing but a shade of confusion. 
“What else?”
A tightness in my chest grows, I know right away I am about to cry and I don’t want to. Don’t want to fall apart in front of him. In the middle of cooking. When things seemed to be going amazing for the two of us. Despite my most intimate wishes, I ended up doing just that, my dirty hands falling limp as he held me in his arms, asking over and over what had happened. 
His chin rests on the top of my head and I can hear his heartbeat, slow and steady. My bottom lip is quivering. I was so tired of being tough, I just wanted to be loved. To be loved by him. 
“I need to tell you something,” A sniff makes me sound whiny, “Promise me you won’t be mad.”
“Never,” Harry speaks so quietly I believe him. “Could never be mad at you, bunny.”
“Okay…” 
I bring his much bigger hands into my own. They warm up under his touch. If I’m being honest, I warm up completely. Body and soul. He gives a soft squeeze, urging me to speak. It’s needless to say that he’s anxious, always being the curious one between the two of us.
“The song… Well, um, I was singing for you.” It was as quiet as a whisper, “I like you.”
“Don’t be silly.” His face goes serious, “You’re not kidding me, are ya?”
“Do you think I would?”
There’s a lump at the bottom of my throat, tears still falling. I didn’t have a problem being vulnerable with him, or opening up - now I was embarrassed. I would apologise if I hadn’t felt his warm lips start kissing my salty-teared cheeks, only to finish up with a chaste kiss on my own. 
“What are you doing?” I pull back, shocked that he’d kissed me. “Do you...”
“I am so glad you’ve said first, fancying you for the longest time hasn’t been easy. But I suppose it gave me quite the inspiration.”
“You’ve written about me?”
“More times than I am proud to admit.”
This time it’s me who kisses him, standing on the tip of my toes, losing my fingers into the soft curls. It seemed very much unreal to me. He never struck me as the type to keep feelings in check or to himself. I should’ve seen something. Or maybe I did and didn’t want to face that the best person I could’ve fallen for was right in front of me. 
Then I think about her. The golden-haired beauty. She wouldn’t be too pleased.
“She’s just a friend, bunny.”
“Reading my thoughts now, Styles?”
“Nah, just know you too well.”
“Yeah, I guess you do.”
Harry lifts me, kissing me again. And I can’t help but feel whole. Like a bit of me that was missing had been set on its place. 
Bless the will to play a song.

The Long Way Around ~ Chapter 4
Link to previous part: https://bonjour-rainycity.tumblr.com/post/623116614605357056/the-long-way-around-chapter-3
Pairing: Jasper x Reader
Word count: 2092
Warnings: None
Y/n’s POV
The next three weeks pass in a now predictable sequence. I spend the majority of my time getting to know my new roommates, for lack of a better word. Esme, who is quickly becoming my favorite, does whatever I want with me. We read books, watch movies, go for runs in the woods. The doctor, Carlisle, isn’t home very often. He and Edward spend a lot of time in town making sure the Cullens are not suspect in my disappearance. They decided it would be best to continue ‘business as usual’ to avoid suspicion, but also so they don’t have to give up the advantageous location in the woods and risk moving with me. Bella tends to keep to herself, though she does occasionally join Esme and I in our book club. Alice and Arthur are quite friendly, and I enjoy spending time with them, even if Alice does treat me like a Barbie doll. I swear, I’ve never owned more clothes in my life! Rosalie is slowly warming up to me. She’s not rude, exactly, but I can tell my presence is hard on her. Her husband, Emmett, is a whole lot of fun. He invites me for races and arm wrestling matches which, obviously, I win. I suspect that won’t continue forever, though. Once my newborn strength fades, he will likely be the strongest in the house. 
Then, of course, there’s my shadow. Jasper doesn't say much, but he is a constant presence. I can tell he doesn’t trust me. The minute I get frustrated or upset he invades my personal space and uses his ability to calm me down. I do resent it slightly, but I understand the need. It’s as he says: I’m dangerous. It amuses me though to know that, as Jasper has taken the task upon himself to never leave my side, he has to do everything I do. So he watches sappy movies with Esme and I, he sits quietly while Emmett and I play board games, he sulks in the corner while I ask Alice endless questions about her psychic ability, and, of course, he hunts with me about four times a week. 
My bloodlust is insatiable. This newfound life and the thirst that accompanies it keeps me in a near constant state of pain. My throat burns badly, and, even when I am drinking animal blood, the burn remains. I have a feeling that, at this stage of life, not even human blood would satisfy my thirst. 
At the thought of human blood, a delicacy so far denied to me, venom pools in my mouth. From across the room, Jasper shifts uncomfortably, feeling my desire. I imagine it must be harder for him than the others, because he not only has to fight his own bloodlust, but everyone else’s. 
He eyes me evenly. “Do you want to hunt?”
“I’m fine,” I lie. We just went yesterday, and I feel like a burden asking people to go with me constantly. I usually have an entourage of three minimum when I hunt, and I can tell it interrupts the daily flow of things. 
Jasper’s eyes don’t leave mine. “Taking you hunting isn’t a burden. Trust me, we would much rather go with you twenty times a day than have you get too thirsty and lose control.” 
I purse my lips at his uncanny ability to know what I’m thinking. I know his emotional radar detector must help, but seriously, sometimes he rivals Edward. 
“It would probably be a good idea,” I acquiesce. “I’ll go see if anyone else wants to go.” I push myself off the kitchen floor-I had been busy reading through one of Esme’s architecture journals-and walk into the living room where Emmett, Rosalie, Carlisle, Esme, and Arthur are gathered around the TV. 
“Hey does anyone wanna-” My words die as I register the news anchor’s words. 
“The search continues for local Y/n, Y/l/n, who was reported missing over three weeks ago.”
It feels like the breath has been knocked out of me. I grip the back of the couch, grief ripping through me. Five vampires turn their wary gazes at me.
“Turn it off.” Jasper’s command comes from behind my shoulder. 
“No,” I breathe, deeply hurt but desperate to know what my friends and family could be seeing.
The anchor continues. “Authorities say they have a man in custody who confessed to stabbing the woman, though claims he can’t remember what he did with the body. Witnesses to the crime seem to suffer the same memory loss. Police have refused to offer further comments, though locals speculate a conspiracy or the presence of illegal drugs. While the two witnesses to the crime, Kaitlyn Myers and Blake Hannigan, have faced backlash surrounding their involvement in the case, police have cleared them as suspects at this time.”
The couch snaps under my grip. I take two quick steps back, shocked by what I just heard and the jarring display of my physical power. 
“Oh, sweetie.” Esme is in front of me instantly, reaching out to envelop me in a hug. Before I can even blink, Jasper is standing between us, acting as a barrier to Esme. 
Hurt pierces through my gut. He only sees me as a threat.
“I’m not going to hurt Esme, Jasper. Back off!” I wish my words didn’t waver. 
His voice is hard when he responds. “You don’t know what you’ll do. Newborns are governed by their emotions more than anyone else. I’m not taking any risks.”
“Well how about getting to know me instead of just generalizing?” I throw my hands up, properly yelling now. “I’m sick of feeling like I’m a prisoner with you. Everyone else is giving me a chance, so why can’t you?” I spit the words out, my hurt growing by the second. 
“We’re hoping it’s all a terrible dream, that we’ll wake up soon and everything will be alright.” 
They hadn’t turned off the TV. On the screen is a video of my parents. Hearing my mom’s tearful voice is like a kick to the stomach. I sink to the floor, gasping for air I don’t need. 
“I just want our little girl to come home.” Mom’s voice breaks, and she stares into the camera. It’s like she’s staring right at me. 
“Jasper, it’s alright, really. I appreciate your concern very much but I promise, it’s alright.” Esme’s soft voice vaguely reaches me through my sobs. 
A pair of arms-Esme’s, likely-envelopes me, but I barely take notice. I only feel the pain. It’s so much worse than the burn in my throat. It almost has me wishing for the fiery torture I felt while becoming a vampire. But wishing very seldom equates to reality, so I’m left to allow the gaping hole in my chest to consume me.
I don’t know how long we stay like that, only that it’s dark when I finally regain control of myself. Esme never left my side, and even Rosalie had come to join us at some point. She says nothing, only rests her head on my shoulder and holds my hand. 
Jasper is noticeably absent. 
“I think I scared him off,” I mumble, guilty. 
“He’ll recover,” Rosalie replies, sounding unconcerned. 
“He’s coming from the right place,” Esme assures. “Jasper is a very passionate person who gives his all in everything. This is no different. I think he sees keeping you and us safe as a chance to redeem himself for his past indiscretions, though those are long-ago forgiven. He’s trying to keep you from making the same mistakes he did.” 
I look at the floor, mulling Esme’s words over. I don’t really know what to say to that.
Thankfully, Rosalie saves me from having to craft a response. “Do you still want to hunt? I can go with you.” 
I smile and shake my head, exhausted from the recent emotional turmoil. “No, it’s okay. I think I’ll just go to bed.” I say the word lightly, knowing I’ll probably just spend the next eight hours reading or something to keep my mind busy. 
I stand, intending to exit the room. On the way out I see the poor couch, broken in two. I grimace. “Sorry about the couch.”
Esme smiles sweetly, waving it off. “Don’t worry about it. It just gives me an excuse to go shopping.” 
I give her a quick hug, grateful for her endless kindness and patience. 
Once upstairs in the room Alice and Esme courteously set up for me, I flop on the bed, grabbing the nearest book. I do my best to let my mind go blank and focus only on the words in front of me. About two hours into this exercise, I hear a soft knock on the door. 
Jasper stands in the frame, looking repentant. “I’m sorry. You were right. I haven’t tried to know you. But I’ve got some time now if you’re free.” It’s then that I realize he means to do this now. Not wanting to smile because I really am still upset with him, I bite it back. 
I decide to play coy instead. “I suppose I could clear my schedule. Though, a little more groveling might help…”
He smiles softly, almost hesitantly. With exaggerated movements, he gets on his knees and clasps his hands together in an excellent show of desperation. “Please do me the magnificent honor...of telling me your favorite color.” 
Now I can’t help but crack a smile. “You may approach, peasant, but remember that my good grace can easily change.” I pat the foot of my bed, and he sits, facing me. “It’s green. Like trees and moss and emeralds.” 
“What’s your favorite thing about this new life?”
“The running. I had asthma as a human but now I can run for as long as I want and be completely fine.” 
He nods, filing the information away. “If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?”
I answer without hesitation. “London. The culture, the history, the accents.” He chuckles, teasingly exasperated. “I bet it’s amazing.” 
He smiles, a faraway look in his eyes. “Oh it’s great. I was there back in the ‘90s...I bet it hasn’t changed too much though.” He grins. “Maybe in a couple of years we’ll all be able to take a trip.”
I look down at my fingers. “Maybe a few more years than a ‘couple’. I can’t even think of human blood without…” Venom floods my mouth. I offer a humorless chuckle. “See?”
Jasper shakes his head emphatically. “No, you’re really doing good.” I try to protest, but he shakes it off. “I wouldn’t say it if it weren’t true. You are doing remarkably well for three weeks in.” 
I sigh, ready to tease him a bit. “Well I couldn’t do so well without my shadow micromanaging my every move.” 
He smiles sheepishly and looks at his lap. “I’m sorry I seem a bit…,” he sighs deeply, “intense. I will try to ease off.”
I grin, pulling my knees up to my chest. “Thank you. I’ll try to be a little less emotionally hectic. It’s gotta be hard on you.” 
Too quickly, he shrugs. “Don’t worry about it. You’re going through a lot, it’s okay.” 
I chuckle, feeling much lighter now, either thanks to his ability or the natural resolution of tension between us, I don’t know. “Yeah well I could stay away from the movies that make me feel all the things.” Now he grins, raising his eyebrows. “Next time we’ll try something bland, like High Noon.”
“Hey now.” Jasper raises a hand, a comically disbelieving look on his face. “High Noon is a masterpiece, don’t knock it.” 
I grin broadly, smacking him on the shoulder with a pillow. “I knew you were a Western guy! Gosh, that’s gotta be like, what, forty percent of your personality?”
He rolls his eyes good-naturedly, taking the pillow from me. “Mhm, somewhere around there.” 
I like this Jasper, I decide firmly. This new, witty, freer Jasper is so much more fun to be around. I could stand to have this Jasper follow me around all day. 
As if he has come to the same agreement, that Jasper stays at the foot of my bed well past the time the sun rises, talking and joking. We get to know each other. 
And, for a while, I forget about how sad I am and the near constant burning in the back of my throat.
A/n Thanks for reading! I’m having so much fun with this story and I’m glad you guys are enjoying it, too! Please let me know what you thought of this chapter and if you would like to be added to the tag list!
xx, 
Bjr

What You Deserve
Ben Hardy x Reader
Tumblr media
For @killerqueenunderpressure my beautiful friend. I love you so much and I hope this makes you feel better. I’m mushy and gross but I hope you like it :)
You turned the glass of wine you were nursing back and forth on the bar. The deep red beverage swirled around and you stared at it, hoping it would soon kick in and make you feel even slightly better.
“Y/N?” 
Ben’s voice brought you out of your misery and you looked at him.
“Are you alright?” he asked. “You’re like a million miles away.”
“Sorry,” you returned. “It’s been kind of a rough week.”
“Wanna talk about it?” 
You turned your eyes back to the glass of wine. 
“Eric and I broke up,” you said flatly.
It was still raw, but you didn’t mind telling Ben. In fact, it felt good to say it out loud. To tell someone made it real at last. Eric, who you thought you would one day marry, was out of your life forever. You took a drink.
“Are you okay?” Ben wondered.
“Not really,” you told him. “I know we weren’t perfect and there was some shit at the end, but...I don’t know, I thought we could make it, I guess.”
“I’m sorry,” he said.
You rolled your eyes. “Don’t lie. I know you didn’t like him.”
“No, I didn’t,” he admitted with a chuckle. “But that doesn’t mean I’m not sorry for you when you’re hurting.”
Ben’s reasons for disliking Eric weren’t completely unfounded. Eric was initially not understanding of you and Ben’s relationship. The former was jealous frequently, and once tried to force you to choose between them. After some long talks and many reassurances, Eric relented. He understood that Ben was your best friend, and he would never be out of your life. You would never tell Ben this, but when Eric was leaving you he said that “no man could ever compete for a place in your heart while Ben had it.”
The words certainly stung. You’d always felt there was room in your heart for everyone. It wasn’t some rent controlled apartment in Manhattan, where Ben was the landlord and other guys just rented space until he evicted them. That wasn’t how love worked.
In fairness to Ben, he always tried to back off when you were dating someone. It was you who insisted on seeing each other regardless. You always said if the roles were reversed, he would make the same effort. Only, in all the time you’d known him, Ben had never had a serious girlfriend, so you’d never gotten to test this theory. You often wondered about this, since Ben was so attractive and sweet, but seldom brought it up. It was apparently a rather sore subject for him. 
“I appreciate the sympathy,” you said. “I just...I don’t even know where to go from here. Eric was everything.”
“Do you want to date someone else?” he wondered. “Maybe getting back out there will help you move on.”
You shook your head. “I don’t think so. I’m not ready and I’ll just end up comparing everyone to him.”
“Y/N, you’re a sweet, smart, lovely girl with a great personality,” he said. “Plenty of people can see that, and you’ll find someone else. I promise.”
You smiled. “Thanks, Ben.”
The next time you saw Ben, you were getting coffee before you had to head to work. You chatted for a bit and he asked how you were handling the breakup. You told him what you were going through as you stirred sugar into your coffee. You were still crying a lot. You constantly had to resist the urge to text or call Eric and find out what he was doing. 
“It’s good that you’ve held back,” he said, taking a sip of his own drink. 
“What kinda chaps my ass about it is that he would be calling me nonstop,” you pointed out. “Remember all those times he’d call relentlessly when you and I were hanging out? And that huge fight we got into after I slept over at your house because I’d been drinking and my phone died?”
“How could I forget?” Ben said. “He called me and yelled at me. Using some pretty creative swear words, I must say.”
“You never told me that,” you said, blinking at him surprise. 
“I didn’t want to cause unnecessary drama,” he said. “But it did have me a bit concerned. You deserve better than someone who doesn’t trust you.”
“And Eric didn’t really trust me,” you agreed. “He did, to an extent. Like if I was going to the store or something alone. But if I was out with friends, he called or texted like every five minutes. And we’d end up having a huge fight if I didn’t answer.”
Ben just looked patiently at you, waiting for you to say more. 
“I don’t know how I put up with it for so long,” you said, looking at your cup. “I know it came from a place of love and a fear of losing me, but it still wasn’t right.”
“No, it wasn’t,” he agreed. 
“Thanks for tolerating me while I was with him,” you said with a laugh. 
He chuckled. “I’ll always tolerate you, Y/N.”
You smiled at each other. Then he got up to use the restroom, leaving his phone on the table. It dinged softly and you glanced at it. It was an alert from Tinder that he had a match. You couldn’t explain the sinking feeling that came with that notification. You knew Ben must be dating, since he wasn’t tied down and very attractive. But all of a sudden it was in your face. And you didn’t like it. You frowned, inwardly scolding yourself. You had no right to feel jealous over Ben. Besides, you were still mourning your break up. 
Ben returned and you smiled at him, shaking off the Tinder thing. Ben was not yours. You decided resolutely to be happy for him if he began a relationship with someone. Just because you were sad didn’t mean everyone else had to be as well. 
The next time you and Ben hung out, it was after he had been away for a few months filming a new project. When you got together, the weather was warm enough, so you went hiking together, taking Frankie with you. You adored Ben but Frankie was the one who truly had your heart. Or so you always told him. He always replied that he didn’t blame you in the slightest. Frankie was so easy to love. 
As you walked, you told him about how you’d gone to see Aladdin on the West End and how much you enjoyed it. You originally planned to go with Eric, and you had two tickets. When you broke up, you considered giving them away. But you really wanted to see the show, and you didn’t know who else would go with you. So you went alone. Even though the empty seat beside you made you a little sad, it also made you proud of yourself. 
“It was liberating,” you explained to Ben, stopping for a moment to allow Frankie to sniff. “Like, I just felt so independent. I was truly doing something just for me. I was glad Eric wasn’t there because he just would have complained the whole time. And he had no appreciation for the fact that Courtney Reed is back as Jasmine! She was the original Jasmine on Broadway!”
Ben smirked at you. 
“Sorry,” you mumbled, becoming suddenly embarrassed. “I don’t mean to bore you with my absurd amount of musical theater knowledge.”
“I don’t mind,” he assured you. “I like hearing you talk about it.”
“Thanks for listening,” you said. “Eric never...never mind.”
“No, tell me,” he insisted. 
“Eric never listened when I talked about my interests,” you said. “He always said he wasn’t interested in that stuff and I shouldn’t force it on him.”
“Well, how many football games did you go to for him?” he asked. 
“Ugh, way too many,” you answered. “But that’s different.”
“How?” he asked. 
You opened your mouth to answer but no sound came out. You closed it again and sighed. 
“I suppose it was a bit one sided when it came to that sort of thing,” you admitted. “I always listened when he talked about sport or his band. And when I tried to tell him about my interests, he put me off or changed the subject.”
“You deserve someone who shares your interests,” he said. “Or at least lets you geek out about them without making you feel bad. You’re allowed to be excited about seeing Courtney Reed as Jasmine. I’m proud of you for going and enjoying it.”
“Thanks, Ben,” you said. “You’re a great listener.”
“I try to be,” he said. “Especially for my friends.” 
You continued on the hike, admiring the nature and enjoying being in each other’s company. You weren’t sure when, but at some point, you clasped hands. You couldn’t say if you or Ben initiated. It was like they just fell into each other. You didn’t mind at all. Even though you’d never done it before, it felt quite natural. When he began swinging them with more intensity, you giggled. You couldn’t help but feel happier around him. He listened to you and appreciated you. It was easy. It was home. 
You continued to see Ben throughout the coming months. He was your greatest source of comfort when you were missing Eric. When you felt like calling Eric, you called Ben. When you felt like you needed to see Eric, you found a way to see Ben. When you felt like you were falling apart, Ben was there. 
Almost a year after your breakup, you felt whole again. Ben was at your place, which was truly feeling like your place now. It looked like a place Eric had never lived. You felt like a woman Eric had never touched. It was all fresh. 
You and Ben were having dinner in front of the TV, watching a movie. Feeling lazy, you just left your plate on the coffee table and leaned back into the couch. When Ben was finished, he took his own plate and yours over to the sink. You sat up to protest. 
“You don’t have to do that,” you said, although you were pleased that he had. 
Since Eric was gone, you noticed how much less cleaning you did. When he wasn’t at work, he was drinking beer and smoking, leaving cans and his bong just wherever he felt like it. You woke up every morning and had to clean before you could start your day, only to have to do it all again the next day. Now that you were free of that responsibility, you were a little lazier about your dishes sometimes. 
“I don’t mind,” Ben said with a shrug. “You deserve to have someone else clean up every once in a while.”
Of course, Ben knew that Eric was messy and how much you picked up after him. You had complained about it throughout the entire relationship. 
“Thank you,” you said. “It is nice to not have to do everything myself sometimes.”
He smiled as he rinsed the plates and put them in the dishwasher, followed shortly by your silverware. He even started cleaning the skillet you had used to cook. When you started to really argue this, he silenced you with just a look. You put your hands up in surrender and eased back into the couch. When the dishes were done, he joined you again. 
“There,” he said. “How good does that feel?”
“Amazing,” you said with a hum. “Really, thank you so much.”
“No problem,” he returned. “I just want you to be happy.”
You rested your head on his shoulder and intertwined your fingers with his. Since the hike, you held hands often, not thinking a thing of it. 
“Ben, I feel like we haven’t talked about you in ages,” you said suddenly. “What’s going on in your life? When’s the new movie coming out?”
He chuckled. “Well, not much is going on. The movie is coming out in the spring, and I am really excited about that.”
“That’s great!” you said. “I can’t wait to see it.”
“Speaking of which,” he began. “I’ve got a plus one for the premier, and I was wondering if you would like to go with me?”
Your mouth fell open as you gasped. “What?! Me?!”
He laughed and you felt your heart skip a beat. “Yes, you!” he cried. “Who else?”
“Literally any other woman in the world!” you returned. 
Honestly, the idea excited you. Getting dressed up, doing hair and makeup, and being on Ben’s arm when he looked how he looked in a suit...it was like a dream. Eric took you on dates at first, but as the relationship progressed, he became rather complacent. He rarely took you out and when he did it was to Taco Bell. Ben - even as just a friend - created a fun time, whether you went out or stayed in. Staying in felt like a night out because you cooked together and made it exciting. Why were you comparing them so much?
“I don’t want any other woman,” Ben said, bringing you back to him. “I just want you.”
The air thickened between you. There was new meaning behind his words, and you could feel it. The silence was heavy so you focused on your heartbeat. You took a deep breath. 
“What are you saying?” you asked slowly. 
“Y/N, you’re all I’ve ever wanted,” he said. “I understand if you want to carry on just as friends, I’m okay with that. But I can’t hold it in any longer. I’m crazy about you. I want you to come to this premiere as my date...as my girlfriend. If you want to.”
Really, you’d never thought of Ben as more than a friend because you truly didn’t think he felt that way. You were attracted to him for sure, but you’d never allowed yourself to consider any further than that. It just seemed impossible that he would want you, his awkward and dorky best friend, when he could have anyone. 
But why shouldn’t that anyone be you? You had a connection with Ben. A deep care for him that sometimes went further than you cared to admit. Over the last year, you’d come to realize that what Eric said to you about Ben was partially true. Only, Ben was not the landlord of your heart, you were. He was always welcome, of course. 
“I want to,” you said, so quietly you weren’t sure you actually spoke. 
Ben’s face lit up like a firework, so he must have heard you. 
“Really?!” he sighed. “That’s great, Y/N!”
“Can I just try something?” you asked. 
He nodded. 
“Close your eyes,” you instructed. 
His brow furrowed but he obeyed. Slowly, carefully, you leaned across the couch and put your lips on his. He sucked in a breath in surprise, but he didn’t push you away. In fact, he deepened the kiss, moving his soft lips in rhythm with yours. It was everything a kiss should be. Electric, passionate, and most importantly dripping with love. 
“Wow,” you said when you broke apart, opening your eyes to meet his beautiful green ones. Between the look he gave you and the kiss, your legs got a little shaky. 
“Yeah, wow,” he returned. 
You smiled goofily at each other for a moment. 
“I can’t wait for this premiere,” he said. “You deserve to feel like a princess.”
“Honestly, Ben, you make me feel like a princess all the time,” you told him. 
“Good,” he said, pulling you close. “Then I’m doing my job. Y’know, as your boyfriend.”
You giggled and looked up at him. “As your girlfriend, I’m gonna have to return the favor.”
“Nah,” he said, shaking his head. “You’ve already given me everything.”
You settled into his chest and listened to his heart. The sound made you consider your own. Yes, you were the landlord and owner of your heart. Eric was a toxic tenant, leaving it a little worse for wear than we he had arrived. It had taken a year to complete repairs. You were happy to let Ben come, because you deserved someone to take good care of it. He never failed to make you feel that he would. So, he moved in.

Note
Over-protective Avengers, with Rhodey in first line, are blocking Bucky when he want to stay alone with Tony. Ofc Tony isn't aware, and Bucky doesn''t know if he should kill them or be thankful that they care for Tony. Brownie points if Steve is in Rhodey's team.
How to get away with (murder) Tony - Chapter 1 of 2
“Ithought you had that briefing with General Whatshisname like…five minutes ago?”Tony squints at Rhodey from the other side of the dining table.
“Hecan wait,” the Iron Patriot shrugs, sending a meaningful look Bucky’s way.
IfBucky wasn’t so hungry, he would gladly give up his PB&J sandwiches andsmear them all over the Colonel’s smug face.
“Soyou can finish your breakfast? Wow, Rhodey, you’re going all kinds of rebellately. I’m proud,” Tony chuckles, completely unaware of what is reallyhappening here – as usual.
Atfirst, Bucky thought it was just a coincidence. He would come into the roomwith only Tony in it and within seconds someone else would materialize out ofthin air. He’d go down to the workshop for his scheduled arm maintenance andhalf of the team would already be there, even though they rarely venture downthere. He’d read a book instead of watching the movie the team’s picked up towatch and even two hours after the credits roll, Rhodes and Banner wouldn’t movean inch from their spot on the couch where the engineer fell asleep.
Itreally didn’t take a genius to figure out this particular pattern.
TheAvengers refuse to leave him alone with Tony Stark. Banner, Natasha andespecially Rhodes always keep hanging around whenever he could possibly end upalone with the engineer. Not that he necessarily wanted to be left alone withhim – or anyone, at first – but it’s been months since he’s wrestled controlover the Winter Soldier and had been officially declared an Avenger himself.
It’sclearly not enough to warrant him any alone time with Tony.
Dothey really think he would hurt the man?! Why would he? Tony’s been nothing butnice to him since the beginning. He’s helped him a lot throughout his recovery,not just with his arm that’s now more Stark-made than HYDRA, but in general.He’s been a good friend to him. The joking, the laughter, the nonsensicalscience babbling…everything Tony related makes Bucky feel all kinds of funnylately. Hell, even the Winter Soldier likes him. His normally imposing presencewithin his mind gets all…soft when Tony’s around.
AndBucky would love nothing more than to explore all that a little bit further…butfirst, he needs to figure out why is he on the Avengers’ Alone-with-Tony blacklistor he’s getting nowhere.
(read-more ahead) 
“Well,time to go to work,” Tony announces, refilling his coffee cup. “The new WidowBites are coming along nicely. I’m almost afraid to give them to Natasha…she’sscary enough as is.”
“Agreed,”he mumbles, earning a grin from Tony.
“Idon’t think you need to worry. Your arm versus the Widow Bites? My bet’s on thearm.”
Rhodeysnorts. “Widow Bites ain’t what he should be scared of,” he smirks, wigglinghis eyebrows at Bucky.
Yeah,the Widow Bites are nothing compared to Natasha’s savage combat techniques. Shestrikes hard and…aims low. Of all the Avengers – Hulk included – Bucky tries tosteer clear of her the most.
Tonyfrowns at his best friend. “Scared? What do you mean scared? He’s the WinterSoldier, he ain’t scared of nothing.”
Damn straight, the Winter Soldier agrees.He seldom emerges like this; ever since Bucky has control over him, he usuallystays silent, brooding deep within his mind. But he’s taken a certain interestin their current predicament.
“Surething,” Rhodey nods, careful not to sound toosarcastic. “I’ll be sure to tell Natasha how fearless he is.”
Sonof a b –
Just kill him, the Soldier suggests,almost sounding bored.
Buckyrolls his eyes and wonders if the Avengers maybe still have a point. Should heever lose it and snap into the Soldier, he would likely massacre them all –just to get five damn minutes alone with Tony.
We’ve been over this, Soldier. Killingpeople doesn’t solve problems.
It would solve this problem, the Soldier retorts and Bucky’s all out of arguments.
“Youbetter pray I don’t tell her about you stealing her knife from the gym locker,”Tony smirks this time and it’s enough to make Rhodeswiden his eyes.
GoTony.
“Youwouldn’t.”
“Hellyeah I would. Now, are you going to that briefing or what?” he asksimpatiently.
Rhodes glares at Tony first, then at Bucky and finally, he moves to leave.“Wanna share the elevator on the way down?”
SONOF A B –
“Liketwo teenage gossip girls? Of course,” he nods but pauses, glancing at Buckywith a strange look. He clears his throat and follows the Colonel out of thekitchen. “Later, Bucky,” he calls over his shoulder in a hurry and disappearsdown the hallway.
Kill them all, problem solved.
Hegroans, wishing it would be that simple. Not that he’d expect the Soldier tounderstand that killing someone’s friends won’t solve any problems at all. In away, Bucky’s glad – glad that Tony has someone looking out for him. All the time. Now if he could only jointhe protective squad instead of being the one they’re protecting Tony from.
Fine. Don’t kill them. Evade them.
Buckyraises a surprised eyebrow at the suggestion.As in…
Treat it like a mission. Evade theenemies. Get to the target.
Despitehimself, Bucky smiles. And if enemiessurround the target?
Play by your rules, not theirs. Usedistraction. Confuse them.
Right.Yeah! He can actually do that. So maybe the Soldier is on the road to recoveryhimself.
Or just kill them.
“Spoketoo soon,” he whispers, shaking his head, but a battle plan is already beingdrawn in his mind.
4AM is the perfect time. Nobody’s awake at this hour – nobody but Tony, whenhe’s in some kinda inventing frenzy. Bucky spent the past week carefullyobserving the team’s schedule and decided 4 AM is where it’s at. His chance tosneak into the workshop and –
“Ohhey, Bucks!”
Seriously?!
“Whatare you up to?” Steve asks, standing next to him by the elevator in his jogginggear. He never runs before five! What the…
You should have killed this one atleast. I told you.
It’sfine. It’s just Steve. Out of everyone else, Bucky believes Steve’s presencewas coincidental at best at all times. He’s going for a run. There’s no way he’sgoing to Tony-block him.
“Thearm’s bothering me. Thought Tony could take a look at it if he’s workin’.”
Idiot, the Soldier sighs in the background.When did the Soldier expand his vocabulary?
Stevesuddenly looks like a supersoldier caught in headlights. “Tony? In theworkshop? Now?” he blurts out.
“Uh…yeah?He’s been working all sorta hours lately…figured I could try goin’ down thereand - ”
“Yeah!I mean, that’s a great idea!” Steve smiles, but he still looks awkward. “I’lljoin in! He wanted some feedback on my suit upgrade, so might as well scratchthat off my to-do list before breakfast.”
Buckyjust blinks at his supposed best friend and numbly follows him into theelevator. Et tu, Steve?!
Saturdayevening is the perfect time. Bucky observed that after every mission, eachAvenger has their ritual. Clint makes himself an obscenely large bowl ofoatmeal and watches cartoons on Netflix. Steve stays on his floor and doodles.Natasha sharpens her knives. And so on. Tony spends his post-mission time onthe rooftop. Sometimes he lazily munches on various take-out foods, other timeshe just lays sprawled on the sun beds watching clouds or stars. Nobody evergoes there, especially if they were to disturb him. But Bucky is armed with apot of coffee, snacks and hopes it’s enough to grant him passage. Saturdayevening’s where it’s at, because they’ve just returned from a mission and –
“Poptarts! Sweet!” Clint exclaims, stealing the pack of sweets from him and rushingpast him on the staircase to the rooftop…where the rest of the Avengers alreadyare.
“Roofparty time!” Sam yells, excited, also sprinting past him. “There should be apool here, Tony!”
Theengineer, currently setting up an impromptu bar, sends him a glare. “I’ll getyou an inflatable kiddie pool, birdbrain junior, how about that?”
“Greatidea! We can pour Thor’s booze in there!”
Theparty only escalates from there and nobody leaves the roof until early morninghours. So Bucky just drowns in that kiddie pool.
TheShawarma place is the best place to meet Tony alone. Everybody hates it. ButTony is always in a mood for shawarma after he pulls an all-nighter or finishesa project. So the Shawarma place is definitely where – never mind.
“METALHAND BROTHER!” Thor clasps his shoulder, falling in step with him – no, morelike pushing him along. “I too had a sudden longing for the glorious meal thatis shawarma! ONWARDS! A-HAH! BROTHER OF IRON IS HERE AS WELL! SPECTACULAR!”Thor booms.
Withinminutes, the whole team is having a shawarma breakfast platter there.
TheTower’s server room is the most perfect place to meet Tony alone. Throughcareful observation, he is now certain that nobody even knows this place existsand even if they do, the number of DO NOT ENTER and DO NOT TOUCH signs all overthat place is a great deterrent to uninvited guests. That and the forcefieldprotected, bulletproof entrance you need a code to bypass. Or a metal hand. TheTower’s server room is w –
“Pst!The code is 666, if you wanna sneak in,” Clint whispers, head hanging from thevent above the door. He winks and his head ascends back into the vent, themetal grid clinking back to place.
Thisis impossible. Humanly impossible. So what if Thor can maybe kinda teleport,the others most definitely can’t and yet wherever he goes, someone is there.Doesn’t matter if he’s following Tony, or going where he is or could be. Evenif he goes somewhere Tony is most certainly not at, there’s someone else theretoo! It’s like the entire Tower is working against him!
Still don’t want to kill them?
Holdon…now there’s a wild thought.
Finally. Can I do it?
Nowonder the team keeps on materializing wherever he goes. If the Tower isworking against him, then…
I see. But…how do we kill him?
Buckygrins, making even the Soldier retreat in the face of his wrath.

Personal History:  Summer of ’91
Tumblr media
My kids Walker Roe and Clayton, ages 18 and 20, his girlfriend Adrian and their friends Reed, Shelby and Trevor spent the covid spring and summer of 2020 hanging out together, swimming, kayaking, watching movies, lamenting their lost semester and generally not following recommended guidelines for social distancing. Clayton was able to continue work while the rest finished spring classes online, which was a total bummer.  With businesses and restaurants shuttered for quarantine, there hasn’t been much else to do.  Walker and Reed had internships lined up that were cancelled.  Adrian did some housecleaning and as soon as a few restaurants did open back up, she and Trevor, who both used to work at the pub, got part-time jobs.  Reed cuts grass. The rest of their time is spent mostly at leisure.  
In seeming unrelated news, Thomas, one of my oldest friends, became a grandfather last week.  Because of covid, no visitors could go into the hospital, so when the baby was born, the new dad held her up to the hospital window and the grandparents all held up posters and signs of congratulations outside.  It was shared on Facebook, so I sent Thomas a text.  I could tell from his response how giddy he was. They didn’t get to actually hold the new baby for three or four days.
The quarantine, my kids’ spring and summer getting derailed and Thomas becoming Pawpaw got me thinking about the summer after our first year of college, back in Many, the summer of 1991.  I spent that time mostly with a small group with whom I had been friends since first grade: Thomas, of course; Ginger who was home from school in Oklahoma, Jeff and Andy who, like Thomas and me had been going to Northwestern State, and Ginger’s brother Clay who had just finished 10th grade and had finally stopped being a complete jerk.  Sometimes there would be one or two others, but that was the core group. 
Except for Clay, we were 18/19 and had just got our first big kid jobs.  Thomas and Jeff went to work at the mill in Florien, Gin got a job at the radio station and I was tellering at Sabine State Bank. I can’t remember what Andy was doing, probably working for his grandpa, and Clay, who was 16 and fast growing into a giant of a man, tooled around in his truck and worked out at the gym.  We no longer had curfews and seldom felt the need to ask our parents for anything.
We were all single, too, which probably explains why our group was small and close.
Ginger had come home from Oklahoma unsettled.  The previous Christmas, she had appalled her family by getting engaged to her long-time boyfriend Nathen, the same person who had been fooling around with our other friend Jamie behind Ginger’s back for most of the time they were dating.  Ginger found out about it in the middle of our senior year which was pretty much wrecked after that, but she and Nate stayed together, even though neither was happy. Her parents had hoped that when she shipped out for Oklahoma and Nate left for LSU, things would fizzle between them, so their surprise engagement at Christmas 1990 was less than joyous. By February, Ginger had come to her senses. She mailed Nathen back his pitiful little ring and he decided to stay in Baton Rouge for the summer, thankfully bringing that awful drama to an end. Also, she had met someone new in Oklahoma.
Clay’s girlfriend Anna had broken up with him right after Prom.  She was a classy girl, also a friend of ours, and she returned the jewelry Clay had given her, which Ginger divided up with me. Thomas and Jeff had recently split with the girls they dated through and beyond high school. Andy was always single, even though he carried a torch for Jamie for years. They were funny, affable guys and great pals.
I was fractured, too. My first love Patrick and I had outgrown each other and he had broken up with me in the spring, which was for the best, but I missed him terribly.  He was already seeing someone else. I was on a mission to get over Patrick, lose the freshman 15 I had packed on and have fun with my friends – Thomas being chief mischief-maker and proponent of fun.  
Riding around town, “making a drag” as we called it, wasn’t for us anymore as we tried to avoid our old flames, which was hard to do in Many.  Most of our friends had significant others to absorb their spare time and several had jumped straight into adulthood, going to work in the oilfield, joining the military or getting married.  We, on the other hand, aside from work responsibilities, could do pretty much whatever we wanted.  
Often after work, we would meet up and go hang out somewhere on Toledo Bend, the long pier at Pendleton or my parents’ place down near Quiet Cove, to drink wine coolers and talk nonsense.  Weekends we went swimming at LaNan or San Miguel and a couple of times Andy drove his grandpa’s barge across the lake to the cliffs on the Texas side where kids used to shinny up a frayed rope as thick as my arm to the top of the bluff and jump off.  The boys listened to the Beasty Boys, N.W.A., Sir Mix-A-Lot and Color Me Bad (I wasn’t a big fan of any of it) and Ginger had discovered Garth Brooks. We went to our friends’ weddings, stayed out too late, crashed at each other’s houses, made it to work on time and irritated our parents.
There were some long serious talks, too, as we commiserated and sorted out our broken hearts. Clay even opened up about his lost love.  It was a bonding period for Clay and Ginger who had spent most of their childhood fighting, and for he and I as well.  
I hope my kids aren’t as stupid as we were and I’m eternally grateful that social media did not exist.  One night – I don’t know what go into us - we got a wild hair and vandalized a dumpster with spray paint.  Thomas and Jeff frequently made a contest of pitching empty beer bottles at road signs going 4/60 down the highway headed to the lake. Under a full July moon, Andy took us armadillo hunting at his grandpa’s farm.  Riding four-wheelers and armed with .22s and homemade pipe bombs, we crisscrossed the pasture in the moonlight firing at will in the humid night that was thick with recklessness.  Another time Thomas and I were headed to Natchitoches in his monster old Bronco when I told him I wanted to smoke a cigarette. Thomas habitually swiped packs of Marlboro Reds from the carton his dad kept on top of their fridge. He offered me a light and told me what to do.  And so it was that I smoked the inaugural cigarette – the very first one -- in the drive-thru at Maggio’s, coughing and turning green and reveling in my rebellion. I even remember the music we were listening to: a cassette single of “I Wanna Be with You” by Pretty Boy Floyd. I don’t know why that detail has stuck with me.
At some point, Jeff and Andy both noticed charms about Ginger that had never been obvious to them before.  This was typical of Andy but surprising for Jeff. Thomas and I were greatly amused. Jeff made the first move, asking Ginger on a date that Clay offered to chaperone.  They went to see “King Ralph,” and the rest of us chased them down at Hardee’s after the movie.  I remember gathering around Jeff’s white Dodge stepside in the parking lot and snickering because Gin was sitting next to him in the cab. We all knew it wasn’t going anywhere; it was just a lark.  It wasn’t long before Ginger’s beau from Oklahoma couldn’t stand the separation anymore and hauled it down to Louisiana for a visit, which is how I met Brent and was maid of honor at their wedding a year later.  
With Ginger unavailable, Andy turned his attention to me and was rebuffed again.  But he wasn’t too disappointed.
As summers do, it went by in a blink and in mid-August, it was time to get back to business.  Clay started two-a-days, Gin packed up for Oklahoma and I, who had starved myself down to a wafer, moved back to Natchitoches. Thomas and Jeff were supposed to commute together, but Jeff dropped out of school to work full-time.  Andy transferred to LSU.  Thomas fell in with my college buddies and we share those memories as well.  It wasn’t our last summer of fun – we had a few more in store before adulthood really caught up with us.
Now we are in our late 40s – the summer of our lives. Thomas and Jeff still work together. They are deacons in their church, volunteer coaches and planners of wholesome youth activities.  Ginger and Brent have been over in Nacogdoches for over 20 years and active in ministry in their community.  Andy married a girl from Baton Rouge and lives on his family’s farm.  Clay went on to play football at Louisiana Tech, but personal troubles have always dogged him, even unto today. I married a nice guy I met in journalism class and have lived in Natchitoches ever since. We have seen each other quite a bit over the years, most recently when Ginger and Clay’s dad died, an occasion marked by the same old sense of camaraderie, nostalgia and some measure of sadness.  
It’s been a strange year, this spring and summer of covid.  It’s nice to see Clayton and Walker spending quality time together.  Interestingly, during the pandemic, Walker and her college friends have been writing old-fashioned letters and mailing them to each other, a true novelty for them.
It brings to mind the contrasts between the now and then.  In 1991 we had no cell phones, no email, no Internet, no Netflix, no Twitter or Snapchat.  Our parents had no idea where we were or what we were up to most of the time.  We had to make plans and sometimes locate each other by that peculiar friend-radar teenagers used to have.  We could buy alcohol and never wore seatbelts. Most blessed of all, youthful indiscretions were not splashed all over the social media, although I do have some lake photos boxed up on a high shelf.  It seems like our freedom was much greater in many ways. Some things change and some things stay the same.
It’s hard to believe it was almost 30 years ago.  Summers always go by too fast.
