If season 19 drops in fall and there is 58 days of fall left (28 days left in October at the time of posting and 30 days in November) then there's a 1.724% chance of season 19 occurring on any day. It could sneak up on us at any moment, be alert

summer retrospective time because i'm feeling down about term starting up and not writing as much as i wanted to but I KNOW this is ridiculous and my goals were unreasonable.
so totally unasked for and unprompted here's what i got:
Chapters 8 and 9 of Upside-Down - 32k (total wip 118k) - E - Harringrove - Crazy long March chapter wherein an ominous phone rings and rings, Billy experiences some firsts (first time playing D&D against his will! first time fucking Steve! first time enduring a birthday party!), and Eddie drags Billy to a thrash metal concert. In Flayedville, the kids rally the troops to save Billy, he and Steve share body heat, and plans don't go as planned.
Two fics written for upcoming @strangerthingscharityzine totaling 4k words in their original state, trimmed down to 1.5k words each for the zine edition. Idk if I'm allowed to summarize but one of them made Remy cry!
That Bartender Sure is Something - 1k - G - Harringrove - Sideways scene rewrite from alt character's POV wherein I try to lay groundwork for why Steve's parents are out of town so often (aside from my need to give boys safe space to fuck and be super freaking domestic).
Chapters 11 and 12 of Only One Bed - 13k (total wip 59k) - E - Harringrovesoningham or whatever Steve/Billy/Eddie/Chrissy is called - Chrissy POV and Eddie POV chapters wherein Chrissy and Billy bond and then Billy/Eddie/Chrissy navigate their dynamic as asymmetrical polyamorous triad. Mostly cute!! Minimal angst!!
¿Por qué no los dos? - 18k - E - Harringroveson/Metalsandwich - What was supposed to be an excuse to make Steve and Eddie thirst over Billy in space buns becomes unexpectedly harrowing exploration of aromantic experience for me and apparently others, some of whom may be entitled to compensation. But there's smut... at the end?
Drafted aaalmost first half (7k) of @bigbangharringrove fic wherein Steve flirts with necromancy and necrophilia and NO STOP where are you going it's all gonna be fine!!! See, Billy died in this contemporary fantasy version of Hawkins where magic and supernatural creatures are just kinda there and so Steve tries to revive him but he imports the wrong file. The wrong Billy. Because there happens to be a lust demon that goes by the same name as Steve's dearly departed husband and let me tell ya he is NOT jazzed to be here. Working with @LucaDoodleDoo who is awesome AND so far has not run away!
Drafted 1.5k of fic for upcoming @harringrovezine. Still on track to be way too long but I WILL trim it down. Not sure what else I'm free to say but I'm excited how it's shaping up?
what follows is me convincing myself i did a good job
And that's... that's it. About 76.5k in all. Which is more than I realized (and also according to haphazard math is more than last summer by maybe 10k?)
I'm not usually fixated on word count much (aside from like laugh-crying when a fic just balloons way bigger than anticipated), and more words does not equal better words by ANY means, but I think this gives me a reality check about getting down on myself. I didn't finish the major things I originally set out to finish but... yeah, such is life when you have more than one WIP in which you are painfully invested 😅
And it's not like I won't EVER finish them which is prob my biggest fear because i had a rep growing up for all my grand plans and projects just losing steam and going nowhere. But I am capable of finishing fics because look ma, there's 3 whole multi-chap fics with the little green check mark (please actually DON'T look, ma).
I'm just babbling now. When work starts I'll be back to writing in random libraries after last bell and my output will slow, and I'm sad about it. But wow you know what I did shit out a bunch of words in like 2.5 months so at least there's that.
(Hesitant to post this because I'm sure it looks like flexing or fishing or something? Or like I'm implying that unless you too are shitting out words you suck? Which uhh I am not! The intent is more for Present Me to flex on Past Me, maybe? And fish some reassurance out of cold hard numbers to more easily put things in perspective.)
Mostly this did work, though! I feel better about the summer. If you need a boost, look over what you've done across a certain span of time using whatever measurement suits you and talk yourself into a pat on the back.
Pat, pat.

December 13, 2023
New financial plan! I'm going to start 2024 off by sticking ~15% into savings (most generalized, some goal-based) and investing 10% of my stipend each month into my down payment account (up from 5% and 1.5%, respectively). I've done the math based on my spending this first semester, and it checks out. Plan to meet with my (my dad's lol) financial advisor(?) over break and I'll see what they say.
I do think my Spotify Wrapped under-reported the amount of time I spent on vgm, especially in the last couple of months, as I've been using youtube "relaxing walk across..." and various themed music compilation videos recently while working (recently started on The Witcher 3 versions (after watching the skyrim one six or seven times hehe) which are new and fun!).
I think the way that my desire to take up and become good at dancing being at consistently odds with my stiff nature followed by shying away from it is reflective of something fundamental about me: I want to be more spontaneous than I am. Or maybe I want to be more comfortable when it comes to going with the flow. My whole life feels like one choreographed and blocked show with me moving stiffly between the defined beats. I want to add soul to it, to be better at life's "partner work" and improvisation. Detour off the path a bit and find my way back after having some fun. But I keep not being able to do it because I'm scared. Of what? Good question. Not in the mood to think too deep right now tbh. Maybe later.
I watched Skeppy's video about Techno. It was very sweet. I don't know why Techno's loss continues to hit me so hard. I had only watched his stuff for a few months, I don't even think I was officially subscribed. Maybe it's because he was my age. Maybe it's because he was so clever. Maybe I hate being reminded of how unfair life is. It's sad and scary and even a little anger-inducing.
I also watched hbomberguy's video on plagiarism and it was really good. Worth every second.
Today I'm thankful that there was an osteologist in the room with me while I took my measurements on human remains. I've handled countless animal remains and casts of human and fossil bones. But there was something a very eerie about handling the human remains. I remember telling students every term to treat all remains whether real or casts with respect, and I handle everything with so much respect. But it was still weird. So I'm thankful I wasn't alone (the experience was very different, and perhaps rightfully so, from when I was working with the non-human primates last week).
[edit: oh ya i also took my anatomy exam and i will not know peace until i get my final grade back]

prev | masterlist | next
Tumblr media
finished with another day of school, you sit at home on your computer, attempting to do one more assignment so that you can think about something other than schoolwork.
eventually, you complete the last problem on the paper, and reward yourself by sitting on your bed. time to be lazy, you suppose.
you’re still surprised about your small, but meaningful interaction with ni-ki from the other day. shit, maybe your half-formed impression on his character, mostly formed by anecdotes from friends, was all wrong.
he’d actually texted you a couple times throughout the day, checking up on you and sending various videos (mostly dance ones) he enjoyed.
(of course, you always make sure to respond with texts expressing your gratitude. it was the least you could do for him.)
and you live vicariously through those videos, imagining that you're the one turning and flipping, even though your present physical state limits you from being able to fly like you knew you could.
it's painfully bittersweet to be so close to your craft, and yet so far. having feelings of jealousy seem inevitable.
patience, y/n. injuries don't heal overnight.
despite your sadness, you had to find the good somehow. it wasn't fair to mope around and be sad while everyone else worked hard. you decide to call your friend hikaru (who also happened to be on your dance team) and see how she was doing—hopefully she was available.
unsurprisingly, she took the call in a matter of seconds, her cheery voice ringing through the speaker.
"hi y/n! are you at home right now?"
you sigh. "yeah. just finished a nasty set of math problems, and i needed a break."
"ouch. well, you always know that i'll be here if you need anything! how's your ankle?"
you look over at your theraband, neatly situated next to your dance bag. "eh, i'm doing my best with physical therapy but not being able to dance is such a drag. at least the injury isn't getting worse."
"that's good! just keep resting—and i know you'll be shaking your head at me, i know you too well. but you need rest."
she pauses for a second or two, and then starts speaking again. "oh, yea, i'm curious. was that ni-ki talking with you the other day at practice?"
you readjust your sitting position and respond. "mhm. said he likes my notes and wants to talk to me more. i'm surprised, he's texted me a couple of times in these past 2 days alone and sent me dance videos—it's improved my mood quite a bit."
"ah, that's actually kinda cute," hikaru says.
"maybe he likes you," she adds afterwards, teasingly.
you roll your eyes, that girl always wants to be a matchmaker. "okay, hikaru. and pigs can fly."
even over the phone, you can picture her excited face. "i'm just saying! he really does seem to care about you."
another pause. "look, putting my teasing aside, i'm glad other people support you too, y/n. just don't ever forget it."
if she were here, you know you’d give her a proper hug right about now. "i won't. thanks for everything, bestie."
she laughs. "of course, and you can thank me by paying for a meal sometime."
with the typical banter between you two alive and well, you feel at least some sense of normalcy in your life.
Tumblr media
the next day, you go to dance practice wishing you'd packed something for extra energy. you're yawning every few minutes and slapping yourself up to stay awake throughout the car ride to your studio. nevertheless, you show up 10 minutes early, notebook in hand, and prepare to get more work done.
you'd say you have a pretty good idea of everyone's habits when it came to arriving late, early or on the dot.
some people, like gunwook and hikaru, are already present, as you predicted beforehand, while others, like ni-ki, will show up about 2 minutes before practice is set to start. how he's comfortable doing that, you have no idea.
he waves to you shyly when he does come in, greeting you with a small "hi", and you wave back with a smile. almost everyone is present now, doing some pre-warmup stretches or just sitting and talking.
the booming voice of your director interrupts your thoughts. "alright, time for warmups!"
everyone shuffles around the room to find their happy spot as you stretch your arms gently toward the sky.
at one point, gunwook shoots you a concerned look that seems to ask “are you good?". however, you reassure him that you're fine with a thumbs up.
as you figure would be the case, he doesn't believe you and tosses you an extra energy bar during break, saying "you look as energetic as me during english class, go eat," before he goes to your director to ask a question.
you find your head threatening to slump forward, and you reach for your water, hoping it'll alleviate your drowsiness.
it helps a bit, and you just tell yourself that you'll get through this next hour, mostly because you're stubborn.
you watch the rest of the rehearsal without falling asleep, which you consider a win. but now you’re hungry, and a hungry y/n is never a fully productive one. you open your notebook, and realize just how uncharacteristically messy your notes were from today.
i should rewrite those... but that's for later.
after practice ends, you decide to get a snack at a nearby cafe that you like. since you can't drive as of right now (another thing you were annoyed about), it's your mom that takes you there.
you use this time to take a brief power nap, and although it's not the same as getting a proper night of sleep, it's something.
"be careful," your mom says, opening the door as you step out with your crutches. "i'll order something too—ugh. god knows i need a coffee."
you suppress a yawn and cautiously make your way over the curb. "alright, mom."
you enter the cafe, which isn't completely empty but also not too crowded. instinctively your eyes scan around, and you spot ni-ki at a table, already eating some type of dessert. he was here too?
you feel a little shy (mostly because you're with your mom) and avert your gaze, but he notices you, a look of surprise on his face.
"y/n?"
you look back at him, equally as surprised. "what a coincidence, didn't think i'd be seeing you here."
"uh, same. i've been here a couple times."
"you didn't tell me about this friend," your mom whispers, giving you a side eye. "i thought i finally knew about all of them."
you groan. telling your parents about stuff was always one of your least favorite things to do. "well, forgive me, but it was a recent friendship."
"oh, is that your mom?" ni-ki asks you politely.
"yep, it is."
"uh, hi ms. l/n. i'm nishimura riki, but everyone just calls me ni-ki," he says, giving her a small wave of the hand.
she smiles. "ah, nice to meet another friend of y/n's."
you look back and forth between the two. usually, your friends ended up meeting your parents when you already had a well-developed friendship, not when you had just started talking a few days ago.
the counter to order is empty, so you ask your mom if you can go over. "mom, what did you want to order? i can get it for you."
"it's alright. i'll order for you, i'm sure you'd want to talk with your friend, after all!"
your mouth widens slightly in surprise. "okay, then. i'll get the chocolate açaí bowl and a medium peach iced tea."
ah, parents. they lived to embarrass you sometimes, especially in front of people you knew.
well, it's not like you were in a rush to go anywhere. you carefully sit down across from ni-ki, setting your crutches behind your chair.
"so, how was practice for you today?" he asks.
you groan unintentionally. "honestly? i wanted to curl up and sleep. and then now i'm hungry."
he raises a single eyebrow. "bruh. you didn't bring anything to eat?"
"forgot. i usually remember, but i've felt off today."
okay, maybe you had slept a little late yesterday, but you didn't think it would be that much of a problem. it was necessary to prevent a backlog of tasks to do, you couldn't stand going to sleep knowing there were still things to complete.
ni-ki shrugs, and extends a spoon towards you. "i guess we all have our off days. oh yeah, do you want part of this pastry?"
you look at the chocolate-filled treat in front of you, your stomach doing more of the thinking than anything else. it couldn't hurt to eat a lot.
ugh, is there a word for being hungry and sleepy?
"oh," you respond rather abruptly, realizing you'd been thinking for a couple seconds too long. any longer, and you'd be off in dreamland. "sure. thanks again. chocolate is always a guilty pleasure of mine."
"no problem," he says with a tiny grin. "well... i'm curious. you like chocolate, but what do you think about mint chocolate?"
you pause to consider your answer. "it's alright. i wonder if anyone could convince me to order it, though. i usually just go for plain chocolate. why, are you the mint chocolate enjoyer?"
"of course. it's the superior ice cream flavor," he replies with a grin.
you shudder slightly. "people like you scare me."
just then, your mom comes back, setting a tray on the table. she grabs a croissant stored in a paper bag and her coffee, leaving the rest of the food for you.
"i'll be in the car, let me know if you need anything," she says, giving you a knowing glance that seemed to say 'i should leave you kids alone to have fun.'
"got it, i should be fine, but thank you."
you look back at her briefly as she walks towards the door, a sheepish grin on your face. "oh god, that was embarrassing. i didn't think you'd meet her so soon..."
"i know the feeling. whenever my parents asked to meet my friends, i almost wanted to shit in my pants from fear, haha. it's not like my friends are bad people, i didn't know if everyone would get along, you know."
you cackle, hoping the two employees working the counter don't care too much. "damn. that's some descriptive imagery..."
he scratches the back of his neck, probably out of embarrassment. "too much?"
you roll your eyes with a smile. "it was funny, so i'll let you off the hook."
swept up in conversation, you almost forget about the fact that you actually have more food to eat, but as always, your stomach serves as a reminder.
you stare at the bowl in front of you and pick up the spoon beside it. "oh yeah, i'd better dig in. this place has good food."
eager to satisfy your hunger, you start eating. the açaí bowl tastes as good as it usually did, but admittedly, all food seems to taste amazing when you're starving.
in any case, you're certainly in a better state of mind now. if you really thought about it, you could attribute part of it to food, and part of it to being here with a friend. the two of you continue to talk, and that's how you end up learning some more interesting facts about him.
these include things like his favorite color (black), his dog's name (bisco), and favorite season (spring). he even shows you some photos of bisco on his phone.
you can't help but comment. "aww, your dog is so cute! i wish i had one."
he laughs, swiping to a video of him playing with the dog.
"thanks, bisco's a little dumb sometimes, but adorable. he's growing pretty fast... time flies, i guess."
"it really does."
he's smiling at his photo gallery, and unintentionally, you find yourself smiling too. in the back of your mind, you make it your goal to meet bisco one day—you'd like to think you're popular with animals.
only when you finally look at your own phone do you realize how much time you've spent conversing with ni-ki—it's been over half an hour. by now, you've finished your food and drink, and feel ready to leave.
"i'm surprised my mom isn't yelling at me to come out," you say, carefully cleaning up the table. "although, i should probably go home anyways. where's your ride?"
"my sister's coming, she's actually a few minutes away." he holds up an app that you presume it's a location tracker. "yea, everyone in our family has this to keep track of where we are."
you nod, glancing at the moving dot that was indeed on a nearby street. "alright, i see. i just didn't want to leave you here alone."
he looks surprised, which you didn't quite expect, but a second later, his expression is nonchalant. "nah, i'll be fine, no worries."
"well, if you say so."
you stand up slowly, reaching for your crutches and positioning them so that you could start walking. even now, it was frustrating to think about how the smallest things, like a carpet or a slightly slippery floor, could impede your progress.
and usually, you'll power walk everywhere, but of course, you're in no state to do that just yet. you need to learn how to rely on yourself again and adapt to the situation.
ni-ki walks beside you silently, and somehow, you're less worried. of course, you're still cautious about walking, but it's nice to have someone near you in case of an emergency.
by the time you reach the door, ni-ki's already opened it. the act is surprising, but welcome nonetheless, considering how often people don't hold the door open anyways.
"thanks," you say with a smile.
"see you at practice?"
you nod, looking at your mom's car. "yeah, see you there. stay safe!"
"roger that," he says, as you make your way across the pavement.
you open the car door, swinging it as far wide as you can, and situate yourself against the car but facing away from it. like you learned from your physical therapist, you put both crutches in your right hand, holding on tightlyi
you reach out with your left hand, using the dashboard as support, and carefully lower yourself onto the car seat. you swing your left leg into the car, followed by your right.
at least i can do that on my own.
your mom greets you with a smile.
"well, you stayed out longer than i expected you to. but you're talking to people, that's good."
"mom, i'm not a hermit."
she starts up the car and slowly backs out of the parking space.
"i know, honey. but i sleep well at night knowing you have good friends. life's quite harsh sometimes, but you don't have to be alone in that struggle."
you nod in understanding. she definitely understands a lot more about life than you do.
if only you had your mom's wisdom all the time. you've never wanted to burden others with your problems, hoping that you could shoulder them yourself instead of having people take pity on you.
your mother had once said pride was your "double-edged sword". how right she was.
"yeah, ni-ki's been kind to me," you say, recalling all the texts he's sent you, how accommodating of your injury he's been.
although i'm not entirely sure why.
from the time you've spent with him, you see bits and pieces of the easygoing jokester he's known as, but you also have been exposed to his moments of sincerity. you wonder why you haven't tried to befriend him before.
maybe it'll take a while for you to understand him more, but that just made the thought of seeing him at practice all the more exciting.
feeling your eyes start to droop, you drift off to sleep. you'll think more about all this later.

I have nowhere else to talk about this, so I'll talk about it here.
A couple weeks ago, I met a really sweet guy on a dating site. We haven't met in person, but we had audio and video calls, and he's seriously the sweetest. Unfortunately, he went to jail on Tuesday. Weed related charges because that shit is stupidly still illegal in my state (plus I ran a background check on him to make sure he was being honest, and he was) So he went to court and got sentenced to 90 days. He'll be in jail until December 18th, if my math is correct. And I've developed feelings for him so fast, it made my head spin. And I know he's developed feelings for me too, because he's been calling me every day from jail, and those assholes charge 50 cents per minute. But he hasn't called me today, and I feel so sad because of it. I don't know if he's already spent all of his phone money, or if something happened to him, or if they've moved him to the minimum security facility for non-violent offenders like he said they were going to do.
I don't know how I fall for people so fast. But I mean, it's not like I'll fall for anybody. I've talked to so many men over the past month, and I've liked only 3 of them. The rest either have a one track mind, or they want to exchange numbers right away, or they're just boring as fuck. But not him. He's never been nasty, he's done nothing but compliment me and be honest with me, and he's fucking. Calling me fom jail, which costs money, like...? He wouldn't do that if he didn't have feelings for me. Ugh. I didn't intend for this to happen, I really didn't. I just signed up for dating sites because I was lonely and wanted someone to talk to, and now I've met what, at first glance, seems like the man of my dreams. And he's in fucking jail until December, over marijuana!!!! 🤬 Goddammit. My heart hurts for him. This state is so fucking stupid.
Also, how funny is it that my ex is in jail for threatening me and holding me hostage and here I am falling for another man who's in jail 🙃

Makoto's route. Dark 07
Characters mentioned: Makoto Aomine, Yui Komori, Ruki Mukami, Ayato Sakamaki, Laito Sakamaki
Monologue: 
So things are going like they are... Nothing interesting, but Ruki sometimes recalls what I should to as far as I'm "snake" like the Mukamis. Honestly, this role doesn't suit me at all. But who asked me? Who asked them if they wanted to do all these things? They didn't have a choice if they wanted to be alive again.
And I... I also don't have any alternatives. Can't turn around and step back. I'm already into all this bloody nightmare...
***
Location:  school
Makoto : How will I know who Adam is  among them? There're six guys!
Ruki: Simply, because one of them is Eve's choice.
Makoto: Still... If I'm wrong and "seduce" the wrong guy? 
Ruki: That's impossible, otherwise — just stupid of you. It's being said, watching them is in your best interest.
Makoto: *soffs* Puah, you see, I've never liked probabilities at math, so I won't calculate the variants...
Ruki: You're testing my patience with this foolishness. What do you mean by... that?
Makoto: Oh, I just gonna ask them straightforwardly : who's dating Komori Yui? That's all, bingo! It's safer to check everything "manually".
*Ruki's slowly covering his face with hands*
Ruki: ...
Makoto: Hey, why are you so disappointed? 
Ruki: Sometimes I think of doing a skull  tripanation to you, just to check if there's a feature of some brain... 
Makoto: *waves her hands*
Makoto: No-no! I still need my brain for some important things!
Ruki: No doubts, really.
Ruki: However, I assume if you fail, you'll be just replaced and don't even notice this. That's all, now go. Do your job.
Makoto: It's too sad to say bye, Ruki...
Ruki: Don't embarrass me with your bluntness! And it's better for us not to walk together. Ideally for us to pretend that we don't even know each other.
Makoto: Oh, I'd like to ignore Kou-kun for eternit, nut not you. I know you're not proud of me and Kou fighting. So, sorry for that, Ruki. See you.
Makoto: *walks away in some direction*
Ruki: *watches her going in annoyance but also with some melancholic glimpse in the eyes*
------
Makoto: (What now? I don't fucking care if I'll be replaced, I'm  here for not thinking about it! I only need my piece of reality, in the end of this mission, wether it's going to be successful or fail for them, I'll know facts about my loved ones' weird deaths...I'll find all the answers! I hope...)
*The bell rings*
Location: *History class*
Makoto: (another boring-ass subject. At least I'm lucky to be with Sakamakis in the same room. But with whom? Of course the damn triplets. Three faces of God, cor blimely! )
History teacher: Well, our history course of the semester is ending, so before we move to philosophy course I highly recommend you to prepare for the next lesson and devote some of your time to Plato's Republic book 7, especially the Allegory of the cave. I'd like to think about the concept of this allegory.
Makoto: (Ha, does he really think I'd read it?)
History teacher: Perhaps reading this book will change your attitude to knowledge and truth's concept.
Makoto: ! (Hm... it sounds like it can be useful? But not now, not now, man...)
Makoto: ( Better to return to my "mission". Oh, I'll write a small note for... Ah, Ayato. It'll be an easier try than the others..)
Makoto: (Okay, now one minute before the bell... Please, please, notice that silly note!)
*she throws a piece of paper on Ayato's desk*
Makoto: (Then keep watching him...)
------
*The scene shifts to the hallway*
Makoto: ( So where's my Eve-bait? Oh, here's she is.)
Makoto: Oh, Yui, good to see you! Where are you going?
Yui: Ah, hi, Makoto-san! Well, I'm going to the cafeteria... Kanato-kun asked me to...
Makoto: You know, it's great! I'd like to join you here, but I have some deal... You mind me joining after?
Yui: (Why is she so excited? I have a bad feeling of it...)
Yui: Y-yeah, sure..
Makoto: You're the best!
*Makoto runs away to the hallway*
???: He-he, watch ya step!
Makoto: Huh?..
*Thud*
Makoto: What the –
*she falls down*
Ayato: Yo, Chichiari*, resting here on the floor?
*she looks up.*
Makoto: (Fuck... he's not following my plan! I wrote to come to the infirmary!)
Makoto: Wow!... What a coincidence, Ayato! I was on my way to find you, but seems you did it first!
Ayato: Tch, did you write this stupid note on behalf of Chichinashi? Are you that stupid? Anyone is able to get this trick
Makoto: Chichiari, chichinashi. Are you still in your damn puberty? How long does it take you, vampires, to overcome this? Hundreds of years?
*She stands up*
Ayato: Ye don't wanna answer my questions?
Makoto: Why if you already know the answers!
*Ayato grabs her wrist*
Ayato: You still so upset about the past? You want a revenge? Why are ya spying on me, ha??
Makoto: Spying? Are you crazy? I just wanted to ask one little question, that's all! I thought you'll help me. That's sorta "revenge" I want from you if you like to call it like this.
Ayato: Well I don't owe you nothing.
Makoto: You deceived me, man I count it as a betrayal, so you do.
Ayato: I didn't deceive, huh. It was your fault to think I'm also a human.
*Laito appears from behind*
Laito: Hmpf~ It feels like you two had a common past together? How could I miss it... Oh, but hold on, I remember this Little Minx*, once Ayato-kun couldn't stop talking about some attractive girl with blue eyes and big bo–
*sounds of violence*
*PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH*
Laito: Ow-whaaa...
Ayato: You're fucking pervert, shut your filthy mouth up!!!!
Makoto: ?... Honestly, I expected you were treating me like a friend and not like a woman from playboy's cover.
*She goes closer to Laito and squats in front of him*
Makoto: Are you okay, you...? Laito, right? Your Uh... Fedora fell off...
Ayato: C'mon I don't recommend you to even look in his side, Chichiari...
Laito: *stands up*
Laito: Oh, this little minx is acting way more nicer than my older* brother ~ You know, Ayato-kun, for now it's okay for you to misbehave since this girl is so kind to even give me my hat.
Makoto: (He.. winked to me. Gosh, it seems like I'd never do my thing and go home!)
Ayato: You know what, you  both are like a pain in the ass, I don't wanna be there anymore.
Makoto: Hold on! Tell me... Who's among your brothers dating Komori Yui?
Laito: Eeeeh? Ooh, seems we're gonna have a love-triangle here? How interesting... What do you think, Ayato-kun?~
Ayato: ...
Ayato: Oi, Chichiari, what do you even mean?
Makoto: ?
Makoto: Are you deaf? I mean what I mean. Who's her boyfriend?
Laito: Ha-ha-ha-ha! You two being so funny!!!
Ayato: You know what, it's none of your business, Makoto.
Makoto: Oh, then if you respond like that it means you are.
Ayato: ...
Makoto: Laito, can't you help here? You look like a guy who's keen on this stuff, aren't you?
Laito: Fu-fu-fu Bitch-chan of course it's perceptive of you, I don't hesitate to say it, but I consider not being helpful here too.
Makoto: No? (It's..bad! They won't tell, yes?.. Oh, man...)
Ayato: You did all this just to annoy me, the great Ore-sama? And what you got by it?  Nothing! You're a dumbass, really.
Makoto: Well, maybe I am, but not as big as you, huh! I kinda wanted the easy revenge tho, but not as much as I wanted us to reconcile.
Ayato: Ha?..
Laito: Fu-fu-fu... Bitch-chan has a secret for sure~ What's she planning out here?
Makoto: *steps closer*
Makoto: (Wish Laito bit his tongue)
Makoto: I wanted a talk with my ex-friend, that's all.
Laito: About Komori Yui?~
Makoto: ...
Makoto: You guys are vampires and I'm not sure that the gossips about her dating with one of the Sakamakis is... a sane idea for a church girl like her. You know, we're friends, actually. Not close, but stil. I was worried that if it happens to be Ayato for her love-interest, she'll be in troubles.
Laito: *smirks*
Laito: How convincing. Well, sorry, Little Minx, but I can't stay here any longer. I have some... Buisness~
We'll meet again.
*He walks away*
Makoto: Is he like that all the time? I mean... terrifying.
Ayato: Tch, he is. I don't wanna talk to ya, tho.
Makoto: (Shit. After a year of silence from him I see Ayato like that and can't even be sincere. I'm also lying to him at some point, so im not better than him?)
Makoto: I... Have to say sorry for making this scene in front of your brother and all in all.
Ayato: You have to? Tho ya see, I need no You after all. It's in the past. I thought you've forgotten about it, a year passed. Isn't it quite long for a human? But you keep this shit in your head, I wonder why.
Makoto: Because it was too good to be true...
Ayato: ?
-----
Author's notes:
1* – "Chichiari" is the antonym of "Chichinashi" and as far as I remember it is "has boobs" literally. This "term" (lmao) was pointed by several ppl in Fandom so I'm not saying "I've invented this stuff"
2* – Idk, it'd be a bit boring if Laito called every girl "Little Bitch/Bitch-chan". So, "Little Minx" is somewhat of alternative. Maybe "Little Slut" would be also a good idea

HAHAH OMG I love that you tell your bf you’ve known Harry longer than him! I mean you’re not wrong?! And not 1D in your collage?! Honestly love that lol but aww omg it’s so cute that your classroom also has a bit of Harry too! I bet it’s adorable!
I love target too! I love spending there and it’s oddly relaxing for me even though in others stores I’m fighting for my life lol
Also HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW PICS OF HARRY?! He just looks so good 😭
Omg I use to LOVE Lizzie McGuire growing up and I would obsess over the Lizzie McGuire movie! And I was so down bad for Chad Michael Murray in Freaky Friday like he made my head spin as a child lol and I heard Noah on the radio the other day and I immediately thought of you! Also idk if you saw or anything but didn’t Noah cover Falling by Harry on an insta live??? I think I saw a clip of it??
I would say my music taste isn’t that broad or diverse soley bc once I find something I like I stick with it lol like the hyper fixating lasts a while lol or sometimes it’s just really obscure artists lol But I would say some of my faves would be Arctic Monkeys, Lana Del Rey, The Marias, Laufey, Lorde and lately I have been obsessed with the song Tell it to my Heart by Taylor Dayne! I probably have more but like I said it’s just all over the place! Oh and there are some other artists that I listen too in Spanish! And I often listen to instrumental/classical music lol ITS A LOT lol
The dentist is a scary place and plus who wants a stranger looking in your mouth like?! I don’t blame you! But yay be proud of your growth!!! Even being a little less scared and more okay going to the dentist is such a win!! Also I didn’t know that 🐱 anon was responsible for the inspo of MADE TO BE, NEIGHBORS AND LIEK ZIPPER?!?!? THQTS SO WILD?!? But honestly so cool! I love all those stories so much!
And I could NEVER mind bestie! Literally do whatever you please!
And I’m sorry I didn’t reply sooner :( the universe HATES ME! Yesterday took my math final(that was something lol) and i had happened to get my period early :( AND I THINK IM GETTING SICK??😭 very sad honestly bc im not even done with all my exams :( ANWAYS the only plus side of yesterday was this hot guy who sat next to me and we got talking a bit 😌
i hope you’re okay! You know I always love talking with you!!!!
ALSO I SAW THE DING POST AND IM VERY EXCITED!!!!-💜
I literally have 4x6 photos of him on my wall at school and my students (who are INSANE and don't know who Harry is) at the beginning of the year are like "is that your bf?" and I usually tell them "in my head, yes" and point out the pics of my actual bf and they're like "he looks like Harry" and I'm "yeah, I have a type 🤭"
I would get married in the Starbucks at Target. That would be my ideal venue. For a honeymoon we would go to the clothing section.
I'll have to check out that song! and I totally know what you mean about diverse music tastes. I also stick to pretty much the same three things I really had to dig in the archives of my brain to get that info out for you.
Oh yes! 🐱 is my biggest Made to Be supporter! That's how I "met" her! I think she helped me continue the story--at least the last five parts minimum. Neighbors was entirely her premise and I just ran with it! One of the Zipper Extras I was totally stuck on and I think she had the idea of where I needed to go. She's a wealth of knowledge and help whenever I need it most 💕
I DID SEE THE PICS OF HIM. THIS version of him is the star of Ding 😊 He's delicious. So effortlessly beautiful I could scream. I'm glad you like the idea of Ding, I'm excited about it!
That's my bad bestie, we must have synced up via our telepathic connection. What a series of unlucky events on St. Patty's weekend no less. A math final, your period, and illness. You should get a lottery ticket, sounds like you'll hit it big. BUT A HOT GUY DO TELL MORE
I hope the rest of your finals go smoothly and I hope that you feel better ASAP. I'm doing alright. I need a mental health day. I'm spreading myself too thin but I don't think I'm going to get a real break until next next Friday the 29th 😭 but we'll see. Maybe I'm just being extra.
thanks for sending a message even when you're not feeling well. I hope the math final wasn't too bad, I would have given you all my good math vibes if I knew ahead of time but I'll do it retroactively just the same!
xoxo

Hey! This is my blog, I can talk about whatever I want! Huaheahaha, here's some black metal I just listened to and really liked:
Tumblr media
Krallice - Years Past Matter, 2012
My music listening habits are very phase-based. I'll hang on the same three playlists for a month and then finally be in the right headspace to sit down and actually listen to some fucking tunes. Today is such a day and now you get to read about it. And look at the gorgeous cover!
Krallice! Never checked them out before, Melon mentioned them in his video about the Sunbather record (a 10 year retrospective, recommended watch). It's a bit less straightforward than what I usually listen to, but it's fucking n i c e. My brain immediately jumped to Ad Nauseam for comparison, but Krallice is less... Maths, I'd say. Very dense and intricate too, but it fucks with your head less. It's clearly rooted in atmospheric black metal of the late 2000s, but (as Melon also mentioned for the Sunbather record) they're not just making more of the same shit here. Very instrumental-heavy loooong songs (last & longest track of the album clocks in at 16min), lots of interesting and unusual ideas. Like it's clearly black metal, but they clearly didn't let genre preconceptions limit their soundscape creation process. It's a wild mix of more typical riff-driven parts with blastbeats, then droning, almost synth?sounding parts, then a clean part, then just a lingering stack of shifting, dissonant chords, then back to in your face. But it never feels random or jumbled. It's very harmonious and contributing to the same *twirls mustache* sonic painting, mhyes. Ok no but seriously, this record creates such a dense, intricate, varied, always flowing and shifting atmosphere. It's so much more than the typical "behold my profound sadness" shit that athmoblack is sometimes associated with (or that was at least present on a lot of the albums that first got me into the genre, lol). I mean it's definitely not a happy album, either, but it's nice and complex, as the mood shifts between anger and sorrow and more calm and serene moments. The cover artwork fits 100%. So if you're down for a ride on which you never really know where the song is gonna take you, give it a listen. But like, don't do anything on the side if you want my advice, this album deserves attention. Can't say which track is my favorite yet, mainly cuz they're titled "IIIIIII" through "IIIIIIIIIIII" and I can't read barcode. But I also wouldn't see myself putting on just one of these songs by itself anyway, it very much feels like an album album.
Ok I just read this again, man is it ever hard to describe the sound of a band that doesn't immediately sound like a different band you already know. This text is probably for nobody, lol But it's fun to write about cool music, so I might just do it again anyway. Maybe if I do it enough, I'll actually discover how to make it useful. Idk.

i'm never good at math, and was never the kind of person that was active in recitation. so i tried my best (for the first time as a student) to do an advance study to make my advantage in quizzes and other written works (i seriously suck at participation so there's no other way but to rely on the other option) i had my sister to teach me things i couldn't understand even before our teacher could discuss it. and i did learn our topic. but only for a meantime.
when it was time to have a seatwork, i got a low score. i said i would try better the next time, but still ended up with disheartening remarks on our LONG TEST (which matters most than everything we've done). our teacher gave our papers to us today, and i want to burn each of them into ashes. i lost hope for math. maybe i'll get an 83 or 84 this first quarter (which will upset my WHOLE FAMILY; will serve like slap on my face; and make my nemeses rejoice upon my failure and humiliate me endlessly)
that's not the only thing. i think i really lost my faith with school today.
math was our first subject, so imagine how it set off my mood and prevented my brain from processing any other thought than pain and embarrassment.
so, it indeed affected my English class. our teacher came, holding our test papers ready to be checked by us too. she gave the other half to me (first row, center aisle) and i took ONE and passed it beside me.
AND THEN IT WAS THE WRONG WAY. i think i didn't hear her instructions that we, who sat on the first row, should take papers initially and pass it BEHIND US. i should've taken papers, not just one for myself.
soooo, my english teacher (who has been FOND OF ME BEFORE AND ALMOST MADE ME LIKE HER ASSISTANT ON OUR FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL) saw this opportunity to humiliate me and faced the class and said,
“Why are you guys passing the papers one by one? It will take us long if you do that. *then i was brought back to reality because i felt everyone's burning eyes on me* (and then she rolled her eyes) Please, you are Grade *********** students. You should be able to pick-up simple instructions. IF YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND ME (she knows full-well i understand english but still said because i might as well be illiterate because why the hell i didn't follow her?) PLEASE USE YOUR COMMON SENSE. PLEASE.”
those words stung, and i could recite it even when i'm asleep. the thing is, i knew this person, my english, once believed in me. it's sad that i let her down because of a petty reason. because i can't follow simple instructions. i hate english class. i hate tension. i hate the feel of me getting the spotlight because i did something wrong. i hate how they say mean things loudly, rubbing in salt into the wounds. i hate my stupidity. i hate myself. i hate everything about me.
those are the WORST HIGHLIGHTS of my day. today has been chaotic enough that my day couldn't go brighter that the highlights were also the most dull and somber. they stood out because they are ugly.
the rest of the day, i lost myself into flying again. i found myself havingt he right answer but failing to say it or even raise my hand because i was shy and alarmed enough to be humiliated even more.
it. was. like. this. everytime.
i don't want to see any of them.
i don't want to meet my teachers and prove something so they could give me a higher grade.
i don't want to chase.
i don't want low scores after i did my best.
i don't want humiliation.
i don't want to be this small in everyone's eyes.
but i am already are. and it sucks.
but above all,
i don't want to go back there anymore.

NCT 127 reaction when they get jealous
WARNINGS: angst, humour and suggestive content.
Taeil
Tumblr media
You had agreed to hang out with your boyfriend, Taeil, after class. When you were leaving the building, one of your classmates came up to you and returned you some summaries that you had lent him a couple of weeks ago. After giving it back to you, he got closer to hug you and you accepted the hug. In the same direction your classmate was leaving, Taeil was coming; he looked quite uptight.
"You know you're mine, right?"
Johnny
Tumblr media
Johnny wanted to know what your exes were like, so you decided to tell him a little bit about them. You told him that some of them were not only bad romantically, but also horrible in bed... except one of them. He was really good in the bedroom and he knew what you like. Johnny's face changed dramatically, he didn't like hearing that at all.
"There's no one who can make you feel better than me"
Taeyong
Tumblr media
You went shopping with Taeyong and, when you were about to enter a local, you heard a familiar voice calling your name... it was your old guy best friend. You two had a story together and Taeyong knew this. The boy greeted you and your boyfriend with a huge smile on his face, and talked to you for a bit. Taeyong looked quite sad, so you decided to say goodbye to your friend.
"He looked so happy to see you... he probably still have feelings for you"
Yuta
Tumblr media
You were making some photocopies in the office, when suddenly you heard the door open. You turned around to see who came in and you saw one of your co-workers... but he wasn't just any coworker, he was that guy who always saw any opportunity to flirt with you and you felt very uncomfortable when he was around. A few seconds later, someone else came in... it was Yuta, your crush. Your coworker checked you out up and down, licking his lips. He got closer to you and made a bawdy comment, but Yuta stopped him.
"Nobody talks to her/him like that"
Doyoung
Tumblr media
You had to do a research work with your crush, the most popular boy in school. When the class ended, you ran to make a video call with Doyoung, your best friend, to tell him everything. Doyoung had always liked you, but you didn't know it. When you started talking to him about your crush, your friend looked quite upset.
"If you're so obsessed with him, then go and confess to him"
Tumblr media
Jaehyun
You were in math class and the hottest boy on campus, Jaehyun, sat next to you. He was always trying to flirt with you even if you played hard to get. Suddenly, one of your classmates, whom you always caught his eye, came up to you, gave you a single rose and leave. Jaehyun smirked.
"A single rose? Really? Pfff, I can give you more than that. Ask me what you want and I'll give it to you. "
Jungwoo
Tumblr media
You went to the cinema with Jungwoo. You bought some popcorn and were heading to your seats, until you ran over a very cute boy, causing some popcorn to fall on the floor. The boy apologized and Jungwoo grabbed your waist, leading you to your seats.
"Let's go. I don't want my girlfriend/boyfriend to be stolen"
Mark
Tumblr media
Mark's ex best friend started flirting with you in class when Mark wasn't around. Suddenly, he came back to the classroom and approach you with a straight face, making the guy returned to his seat.
"I don't know what he said to you, but he better take that back before he regrets it"
Haechan
Tumblr media
You and Haechan decided to go camping at a beautiful campsite. You were setting up the tent with him, when suddenly you were distracted by a cute boy passing by near you. Your boyfriend smirked.
"I saw you. Don't think about sleeping in this tent. You're going to end up sleeping with the bears"

guess who's back and drowning in math :^)
i think i have to explain my recent lack of activity although i always seem to laugh it off in the posts but its mainly because 1. i'm kind of running out of ideas on what to post?? if that makes sense, i'm kind of studying/doing the same thing every day and if i posted the same content with the exact same notes and/or work it would be so dry. and that's also because 2. i'm about to have a major exam so obviously my phone is lying somewhere far out of my reach so that i don't procrastinate and waste my revision time. which also means i'm not taking the pictures as well so no posts :')
to the anons in my inbox asking me to check my tag/checking up on me: i'm super sorry and i feel kinda bad because honestly i just don't have that time to scroll through tumblr that much anymore?? i promise i see the asks, and i'll definitely go through the unreblogged/liked posts that are tagged after my exam :)
so if anyone wants to send me asks/speak to me, just a reminder that you can send it through the tumblr dms as well because i check those more frequently than the askbox! i'll always check tumblr once a day so i'll reply when i see it :))
as for now i'm not sure if you guys want to see more pics?? but they'll probably be the same things over and over again but if nobody minds then i'll try to take more pics and schedule them so that there's at least some form of content on this sad little blog

Here is a lil Daniel one shot for all my LaRusso girls ♡
SECRET CRUSH(DANIEL LARUSSO X FEM!READER)
Plot; You are one of Ali's best friends, hiding a secret: having a big crush on Daniel, the one boy she is dating. But what will happen when Daniel asks you to help him with Ali?
WARNING: A tiny bit of a smutty situation.
Tags; 'cheating' in a certain sense, dry humping, Daniel being VERY bold, seductive reader, some angst, fluff.
Also, they are still in high school just for the sake of the plot.
Enjoy!
~
Tumblr media
There he was again, Daniel LaRusso.
He was talking to Ali, as always. She was laughing, resting her back against the school's wall. Daniel had one arm beside her head, the other hand was on his hip and he had a cheeky grin plastered on his face.
And then there was (Y/N).
She was admiring the scene from afar, a sad sigh leaving her mouth while she held her books tight to her chest. Since she saw Daniel that first day on the beach, she couldn't take her eyes off of him. She thought he looked so gorgeous with those dark locks of his and his chestnut eyes. His skin looked tanned and his body was slim, more skinny than muscular.
But, of course, he had his eyes for Ali since the beginning. (Y/N) wasn't surprised about it but she was dying of jealousy. She wasn't the classic ugly duck best friend, in fact, (Y/N) was considered one of the hottest girls at school along with Ali. A lot of boys desired her and before Johnny Lawrence even got with Ali, he first flirted with (Y/N) but she always refused him so Ali was kinda the second option.
(Y/N) didn't feel insecure about herself because she had a very high self-esteem. She always took care of herself, always had a good smell and beautiful soft hair and her body always turned a lot of heads. She had an amazing sense of style, even better than Ali if you asked her.
But (Y/N) wasn't just looks; she had a beautiful personality too, always sweet and humble. She never liked to get involved in drama, it was a waste of time in her opinion. Her sense of humour always cracked up even the most silent kid. She also had a very sassy attitude and wasn't scared to bite if someone tried to provoke her or the people she cared about since she was very protective and people knew that it was better not to mess with her.
"Ali, we should get to class." After stopping envying her best friend's relationship with Daniel, (Y/N) finally walked towards the both of them and said the first thing to make them separate. She knew that their relationship still would  exist but she felt an aching pain in her chest whenever she saw them talking and laughing together.
Ali sighed and nodded, kissing Daniel's cheek and then whispered something in his ear that made him smirk.
Was it something dirty? (Y/N) was dying to know but at the same time she preferred to not know anything about their intimate life. Ali never talked to her about it, maybe they were still taking time to not rush anything or she was just shy about it but (Y/N) knew that one day they would have done something together and the thought of it made her sick to her stomach.
Daniel gazed at (Y/N) and gave her his usual friendly smile. He was wearing a tartan button up shirt and some high waisted black jeans. He had gotten taller since the last year, when her and Ali first met him, but his voice stayed the same. (Y/N) noticed that many times Daniel checked her out and it even happened on their first encounter at the beach but she thought that it was something unintentional that every guy did.
"Wait!" Daniel exclaimed before the two friends could walk away. "(Y/N), can i talk to you for a moment?"
(Y/N) felt butterflies in her stomach at his request. He never asked her something and their conversations were very minimal and mostly about Ali. (Y/N) nodded while her friend furrowed her eyebrows, confused, but then she smiled and waved at them.
"I'm going to class, see you later (Y/N)!" She said and, before completely walking away, she sent Daniel a kiss that he fake caught with his hand, sending her a big grin.
"So what is it?" (Y/N) tried to hide her excitment and the blush that was starting to form on her cheeks. Daniel took her hand so that they could go somewhere a little more private. (Y/N) heated even more up at his physical contact and gulped, she felt the warmth of his hand and felt his long and slim fingers around her palm.
"Okay!" He said once they reached a column and went behind it. "You are the only person that can help me right now."
(Y/N) smiled, hoping to hear Daniel say something that completely involved just her and him. She was tapping the edges of her books with her fingertips, obviously feeling very nervous.
But her hope and smile vanished when he finally spoke.
"Soon it's gonna be Ali's birthday..." He started and (Y/N) contained her delusion and sighs of vanished hope to herself, listening to him. What was she expecting? Of course it was about Ali, like always. He always chose (Y/N) when he needed to do something for Ali because she was her closest friend and knew her better than the others. "I want to organize a fun party for her and i also don't know what gift should i give her-"
"Ali doesn't want a big party this year." (Y/N) cutted him off. "She told me that she's tired of big parties, so don't bother."
(Y/N) sounded more acid than she intended to be, but it wasn't her fault. It was the jealousy that made her like that.
"Oh..." Daniel looked confused and thought about it for a second before nodding. "Okay, well, can you help me with the gift? Maybe we could go shopping together this evening if it's okay with you. I'm really desperate, i don't know what to give her! She literally has everything!"
(Y/N)'s eyes sparkled at his words.
He was basically telling her to hang out with him that night to find a gift for Ali.
Hanging out together.
(Y/N) didn't even thought about it for a second, she couldn't miss that opportunity. Spending an evening with him was something she always desired, even if it was just for Ali. She was hoping to get to know him better, to talk about their interests and maybe to find some things in common.
She couldn't say no.
"Yeah, sounds fine to me." She nonchalantly nodded, making it look like it wasn't that big of a deal but inside she was squealing. "I'll meet you at 6:00 pm at the mall, alright?"
"Yeah!" He smiled. "6:00 pm at the mall, captain!"
He walked away and turned around to wink at her and (Y/N)'s heart skipped a beat at his action. She stood still behind the column and softly smiled to herself, already thinking of an outfit for the evening. Once she reached her class 5 minutes late, she sat next to Ali like always and tried to act as if nothing happened.
"Pst!" Ali whispered and nudged her elbow, stopping (Y/N) from taking notes on her notebook. "What did Daniel want?"
(Y/N) couldn't tell her about what happened because it was also about her birthday, so she shrugged and kept writing notes.
"Nothing much, he just needed an help with a math exercise."
Ali looked a little hesitant at first and narrowed her eyes, but then believed her because she knew that (Y/N) was very good in every subject while Daniel not so much.   Many minutes passed since the last words the two friends exchanged and (Y/N) suddenly saw a little folded piece of paper fall on her notebook. She furrowed her eyebrows and opened it, reading the message inside.
'Are you coming to my house this evening?'
-Johnny.
"I think that's for me!" Ali silently giggled and took the piece of paper from (Y/N)'s hands, letting out a soft laugh after reading it. She then wrote a simple 'yes' on the same paper and throwed it back to Johnny, grinning while doing so, leaving (Y/N) in pure shock as she watched the full scene.
"What are you doing?" She whisper-yelled to Ali. "I thought you never wanted to talk to Johnny again."
"Chill out, (Y/N)!" The blonde said and turned the page of her book. "We are just friends now."
"He invited you to his house, do you really think that he has friendly intentions with you?"
(Y/N) saw the teacher's glare on her and wrote no sense words on her notebook just to not be yelled at. Ali rolled her eyes and didn't look at her, making (Y/N) even more mad. She couldn't believe it and all that she was thinking about was Daniel.
"What about Daniel? Are you gonna tell him that you are paying a visit to your ex boyfriend's house?" (Y/N) spoke with a sarcastic tone and Ali scoffed.
"I know what i'm doing, it's not like i'm cheating on him." (Y/N) shook her head in disappointment, rage building up inside of her. Daniel didn't deserve that. "Mind your own business."
"You are aware of the fact that Johnny literally beated up Daniel last year or you forgot about it?" (Y/N) raised her eyebrow and Ali was red in the face, she was aware of the fact that she was doing the wrong thing.
"Johnny changed, i just want to talk to him." Before (Y/N) could respond, Ali quickly cutted her off. "Mind your own business."
After that, the bell rang and (Y/N) immediately stood up without saying another word to Ali and, once she reached the door, she saw Johnny leaning over Ali's chair, and all she did was giggle. (Y/N) made an expression of disgust and left the class, facing the day like she always did but while staying away from her best friend.
She saw Daniel and Ali walking home together at the end of school and she observed the way he wrapped one of his arms around Ali's waist so that she could be closer to him. (Y/N) hopped on her bike and during the ride she thought about her meeting with Daniel.
Knowing what Ali was doing, (Y/N) decided to play dirty too and to be selfish for once. She smirked while she rode her bike, her hair moved smoothly in the wind and she was more confident than ever in that moment because she knew what to do.
She was going to seduce Daniel.
Grinning to herself, she reached her house and prepared everything for the evening that she dreamed for a whole year. After lunch, she took a shower and made sure to use her favourite body lotion after getting out, the one that smelt like vanilla and coconut. She wrapped her wet locks around some rollers to get bouncy curls and while waiting, she started to look for the perfect outfit.
She played some music on her radio while she searched for the clothes she needed in her wardrobe and 'Cruel Summer' started echoing in the room. (Y/N) sang the words to the song and after awhile, she smirked when she placed her eyes on a beautiful red mini dress. It was tight, with thin straps and of a bright red. It didn't look too fancy, it looked classy but casual, perfect for the situation.
To match her nails with her dress, (Y/N) painted them of red and did a simple makeup to emphasize her lips so that they would have looked more kissable to seduce Daniel better. She chose a deeper shade of red for her lips and when she noticed that it was already 5:00 pm, she started getting dressed.
Once she slipped in her mini dress, (Y/N) decided to wear some black shoes with a short heel and a strap that wrapped around her ankles. She removed the rollers from her hair and styled them better with a brush. She was satisfied with how her hair turned out; bouncy, shiny and voluminous.
(Y/N) looked at her figure in the mirror and added the last touches to her look, spraying a little bit of perfume and putting on a denim jacket on her shoulders. She felt confident and smiled at her reflection proudly before leaving the house to go to the mall. She got there 10 minutes late because she walked slowly to get there, but she did it on purpose because she wanted to be waited.
When (Y/N) finally arrived, she immediately saw Daniel sitting on a bench at the center of the mall. She noticed that he had changed his clothes too but they still looked pretty casual. When she started walking towards him, Daniel stood up and checked her out, his mouth was hanging slightly open at the sight of her.
"Did you have to wait long?" (Y/N) gave him her charming smile and Daniel shook his head to reassure her but his eyes never left her body.
"No, i came here like 2 minutes ago." He nodded, but he was lying. He was there since 6:00 pm as she told him, but he couldn't be mad when she looked like that. "You look uh- very fancy."
"What are you talking about?" (Y/N) laughed. "This is my casual look."
"Well, i'm not complaining."
After his answer, (Y/N) felt even more confident than before.
This is gonna be easy. She thought to herself.
They started to walk side by side and all Daniel could hear was the click (Y/N)'s heels made after every track and he couldn't stop staring at her figure while she talked about some of Ali's favourites shops. He stared at her profile, at how her hair bounced when she walked, at her red plump lips and he felt guilty about it even tho he never denied that she was a beautiful girl.
She just looked even more beautiful in that moment and Daniel tried to distract himself from looking too much at her, but (Y/N) already knew what he was doing and contained her grin.
"She buys a lot of clothes at GadZooks" (Y/N) said and stopped walking when they reached the mentioned shop.
"I don't know, she always buys clothes... i want to give her something that she still doesn't have."
(Y/N) thought for a moment and then she turned to look at Daniel.
"You know, she talked to me about wanting some earrings..." She smirked. "What is your budget?"
"I have 50$ with me."
"That's enough, c'mon!" She purposely took his hand and sent him another smile before walking again. "I know exactly where to go!"
Daniel ended up buying some cute silver earrings for Ali and wrote her a little letter that he inserted inside the box. (Y/N) felt jealous again, especially thinking about the fact that while he was there to buy her a gift, Ali was at Johnny's house doing god knows what. (Y/N) tried to kick her thoughts out of her head because she had to focus on her goal.
"I'm sure she's gonna love them." She told Daniel after they came out from the shop. He nodded to himself and then smiled at her. "Yeah but i think i'm gonna give you some credits too on the letter."
(Y/N) slightly blushed at his comment but tried to act cool.
"Don't you think she will be jealous knowing that we spent the evening together?" (Y/N) raised an eyebrow and smirked. Daniel laughed and shrugged.
"It was for a good reason, she would never have these beautiful pair of earrings if we didn't!"
"Sounds legit!" (Y/N) laughed and before she could say something else, Daniel spoke first.
"Are you hungry? We could eat something at that bar right there, an ice cream maybe?"
(Y/N) was surprised at his question but nodded anyway and soon after that, they entered the bar where (Y/N) sat on a high stool while she observed Daniel.
"So for me a medium size chocolate ice cream with sprinkles on it..." He said to the lady behind the counter and then glanced at (Y/N) "what about you, cherry?"
The nickname took her off guard but his wink after made her cheeks flush. She cleared her throat and fixed her hair a bit before answering.
"A medium size strawberry ice cream with lots of whipped cream..." She smirked and kept talking. "And if it's possible, a little cherry on top."
Daniel chuckled while (Y/N) rested her head on her hand, admiring how perfect he looked in that exact moment. She noticed that his arms weren't as skinny as last year and she supposed that he was building up a little bit of muscles because of Karate. Daniel noticed her staring at him so he grinned a bit before snapping her out of the thoughts she was having about him.
"I think they have cherries- oh here they are!" He took both of the ice creams from the lady's hands and handed the strawberry one to (Y/N) so that he could pay for the both of them. It felt like a date and (Y/N) wasn't mad about it for sure.
Daniel sat on the stool right in front of (Y/N) and smiled at her when she took the petiole of the cherry with two of her fingers.
"Why that nickname?" She asked him and Daniel softly laughed.
"You remind me of a cherry tonight, with all that red on you." He licked some of his ice cream and (Y/N) nodded, taking it as a compliment.
"Well, do you like cherries?" She asked, her tone was seductive while she crossed her legs, discovering her thighs more. Daniel eyed her up and down and blushed a little before nodding.
"Yes, very much."
"You know, i can make a knot with the petiole of the cherry..."
Daniel widened his eyes at her words, not even knowing about that kind of talent.
"I want to see it to believe it!" He chuckled and moved closer to her with his stool, making (Y/N) giggle.
"Ok, watch." (Y/N) snatched the petiole off the cherry and inserted it into her mouth without breaking eye contact with Daniel. The dark haired boy observed her tongue movements and watched carefully, astonished by the way she slowly moved the tip of her tongue to interwine the edges of the petiole.
Her gestures also made him think dirty things that he just couldn't help. Her lips looked so good half opened and the inside of her mouth looked so inviting. Daniel didn't even feel guilty anymore, he felt like there was only (Y/N) there with him and Ali wasn't even running through his mind in that moment.
(Y/N) smiled and pulled her tongue out to show him a perfectly tight knot on the center of the petiole that Daniel observed fascinated.
"Woah" He stared at her eyes while she reached for the petiole with her fingertips to hold it in the air. "That's a big talent you have there!"
(Y/N) bit the cherry and left another equal piece for Daniel, so she bent forward and grinned at him. She also noticed that he had a little bit of ice cream on top of his lip and cleaned it off with one finger that she later licked while staring in his brown eyes. Daniel instantly tensed up, he felt his jeans tighten but tried to play it cool while eating the piece of cherry that she gave to him.
"You like it?" She asked, her voice full of mischief.
"Even more than the other cherries i ate in my life, i wonder why..."
They both bursted in a loud laugh and finished their ice creams, chatting a bit about their interests as (Y/N) hoped. He talked about how Mr. Miyagi trained him and was very euphoric while doing so, which made (Y/N) giggle.
"I saw you at the tournament." (Y/N) said and gave him a sweet smile. "I thought that the kick in the face that you gave to Johnny was amazing."
Daniel's expression softened and he blushed before smirking at her once more.
"I could teach you one day."
(Y/N) chuckled, giving him a slight slap on the shoulder.
"No but i'm serious!" He took her wrist, not harshly but enough to stop (Y/N)'s hand from slapping his shoulder. They both stared into each other's eyes and for a moment there was silence. Daniel slowly removed his hand from (Y/N)'s wrist and then proceeded to talk but with a slightly deeper voice. "I'd gladly teach you."
(Y/N) nodded, feeling her heart beat faster. She felt the whole zoo in her stomach, not just butterflies, and her cheeks were heating up.
"I'd gladly let you be my Sensei."
It was already 8:00 pm when they got out from the bar. They talked so much that time flied but Daniel didn't want to tell her goodbye yet so he took her hand and leaded her out of the mall.
"Where are we going?" (Y/N) giggled and followed him without hesitation.
"To the Arcade!" Daniel excitedly exclaimed, never leaving her hand. "We can be there in like 10 minutes if we run!"
"But Daniel, i have heels on!"
Daniel stopped in his tracks and looked at her, a big grin formed on his mouth.
"Not an obstacle for me!" Before (Y/N) could open her mouth to say something, he picked her up bridal style and (Y/N) instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck. Daniel started running, holding her carefully and tight to his chest while crossing the road.
"Danny you're crazy!" (Y/N) squealed and hid her head in the crook of his neck. Daniel laughed and smirked at the nickname, her perfume invaded his nostrils and it only made him want to hold her even tighter to him and so he did. (Y/N) felt good in his arms, she was where she always wanted to be and found the crook of his neck to be comforting, she inhaled the smell of his skin and softly smiled, leaving a light peck there that didn't go unnoticed by Daniel.
After arriving to the Arcade, Daniel put her back on the ground and laughed. (Y/N) fixed her hair and her jacket with a big smile on her face.
"Are you ok?" He asked, a little bit concerned since he didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable.
"Yes, that was amazing! You are insane, LaRusso."
"I think i have a preference for Danny."
(Y/N) blushed and walked with him inside the Arcade. He searched for her hand while looking forward and she pleasantly took it, noticing how Daniel smiled as she did so.
"What do you want to do first?" Daniel asked her and she thought about it for some seconds before giving her answer.
"What about air hockey?"
"Sounds great, but i gotta warn you first; i'm the champion of air hockey!"
(Y/N) rolled her eyes, giving him a challenging glance.
"We'll see about that!"
They played two matches at air hockey and (Y/N) won both times. She couldn't stop her laughter because of Daniel's disappointed expression, everytime she tried to look at his face she bursted out in a laugh that made her tear up and Daniel kinda kept that expression on purpose to make her laugh. He liked the sound of her laugh because it sounded like a melody to his ears.
"Please stop making that face!" She squealed, hitting Daniel's shoulder to make him laugh too.
"You are just so cute when you laugh..." He told her with a wide smirk. She covered her face with her hands and kept giggling before taking his hand again.
"Let's play golf!" (Y/N) exclaimed, leading Daniel to the golf spot. She saw him smirking again and rolled her eyes. "What? Are you a champion of golf too?"
Daniel gasped, putting his hand on his chest acting like he was deeply hurted.
"Jesus, (Y/N), there's no need to burn me like that!"
They both chuckled in unison and started playing but (Y/N) was having some trouble with her golf bat. She looked frustrated, losing against Daniel. The boy was amused by the sight of her and found her little pout adorable, but decided to give her an hand anyway.
"Look-" Daniel positioned his body behind (Y/N)'s back and covered her arms with his longer ones, helping her move the bat in the right way. (Y/N) could feel his breath against her hair, their faces were so close that she could see some little brown freckles at the top of his nose. They were so small that they could only be seen if someone stood that close to him. She admired his profile, his focused gaze on the hole that he had to center with the little white ball. "And just like that..."
Daniel whispered, making (Y/N) shiver. She was sure that he could hear her beating heart even over the loud music that was playing in the local. The girl looked down, placing her eyes on Daniel's hands that were covering her smaller ones. She gulped when he slightly moved both of their arms in a syncrhonized way so that he could perfectly hit the ball, making it fall into the hole.
"Thanks..." Her voice was lower than before and Daniel could see her red cheeks standing so close to her. He looked at her jawline, then his eyes fell on her displayed neck and he lightly bit his lip. Daniel slowly moved his hands to her hips while (Y/N) still held the bat with her hands and didn't move a bit when she felt his hands on her.
"No problem, let's see if you understood now."
(Y/N) didn't look at him but she knew that he had a smirk plastered on his face after saying those words. She took another ball and placed it on the ground, narrowing her eyes to focus better on her goal. Daniel's fingertips were pressed deeper on her hips but (Y/N) tried to not distract herself, moving the bat like he showed her. When the ball ended up in the hole, (Y/N) proudly smiled to herself before suddenly tripping against Daniel's chest. Daniel was quick to catch her, holding her tight to his body.
"I'm sorry..." She shyly said, meeting Daniel's eyes that looked more dilatated than before. They both remained in that position, looking into each other's eyes. Daniel gave her a flirty grin, never leaving her hips.
"I'm not." And just like that, he kissed her. Daniel LaRusso, the boyfriend of (Y/N)'s best friend, kissed her before she could even realize it. (Y/N) immediately closed her eyes, enjoying the sensation of his plump lips on her ones, something she always dreamed of at night. Daniel's grip on her tightened and he felt things that he never felt before, not even with Ali.
After the kiss, they both shared a look that said it all; they wanted each other. Daniel took her hand, not even bothering to fix the golf bats, and found with her an hidden spot outside of the Arcade. The streets were dark and they stopped in a spot where the music that was playing in the Arcade sounded a lot lower and Daniel didn't waste any time once he had her all to himself, attacking her lips with ardor while blocking her body between him and the wall.
Her head was spinning at the mix of sensations she was feeling, she felt heated up and her heart was throbbing. Daniel's hands reached for her ass during the intense make out session, squeezing it harshly. (Y/N) panted at the gesture and held his neck to get him even closer to her body. She still felt like she was in a dream and, if it was, she never wanted to wake up again. A light smirk appeared on her lips when Daniel's erection pressed against her.
"You make me crazy..." He whispered, never leaving her lips. Daniel looked hungry, hungry for her. He left little pecks on her cheek and jawline before stopping on her neck, where he started biting her sweet spot there.
"Daniel-" (Y/N) whimpered, making him smirk against her neck. He cupped her face, devouring her lips again while she gripped his shirt and caressed his back. Daniel slowly started to rub against her body and (Y/N) only encouraged him by following his movements. "I've always wanted you..."
"Look what are you making me do, fuck." He kissed her forehead, breathing heavily on her face. "This is what you want? This is why you showed up looking like this, uh?"
(Y/N) bit his neck, making him groan before shaking her head.
"No, i want more."
Daniel stopped for a moment, searching for her eyes just to understand what she meant. He saw desire in them once he looked at her but also desperation and love. He never saw her with that look in her eyes before and stayed silent, not knowing what to say. Her red lipstick was all smeared on her chin and he was sure he had some of it on his mouth too. When he placed an hand on her cheek, (Y/N) touched it with her fingertips and kept it there, never breaking eye contact with him.
"How long?" He asked, still shocked.
(Y/N) inhaled some air before answering and closed her eyes for a second, opening them again with wet pupils.
"Since the first day." Her voice was shaking. They both didn't know what to say or do, the sound of the music and of the cars filled their ears. Daniel opened his mouth to say something, but then he stopped himself. (Y/N) looked down, her chin was trembling and she just couldn't control herself anymore, so she started crying. She cried several times alone in her room for Daniel, but telling him about her feelings after so long and seeing that he didn't know what to say, made all her dreams fall apart.
(Y/N) turned her back to him so that he couldn't see her tears, but he for sure could hear her crying. Daniel closed his eyes and ran his hand through his hair, not knowing how to react. He was clueless about everything and she never gave him signals, till that night. However, before placing his eyes on Ali that day on the beach, he was eyeing (Y/N) kissed by the sun, layed down on her towel. She slightly lowered her sunglasses to glance at Daniel and was the first girl of the group that smiled at him.
Daniel looked at (Y/N)'s back and as the time passed, he asked himself why he chose Ali. Yes, she was pretty, but (Y/N) was a beauty that he never saw before. He remembered her sly smile at the beach and even the way her legs shined in the sun, or how he desired to caress her hair because they looked so soft.
Daniel was dating the wrong girl and he only understood that thanks to that evening spent with (Y/N). He realized that he never had something really in common with Ali and she wasn't even a devoted lover like he wanted. Conversations with Ali were superficial and mostly about the things she liked. With (Y/N) time flied away and he had the most fun night in his life with her. She listened to him, she acted like his girlfriend even tho she wasn't.
And the butterflies he felt everytime he looked at her explained everything that he needed to know.
"Shit!" Daniel suddenly cursed under his breath, making (Y/N) turn her head to look at him while quickly wiping her tears away. "I think i forgot the bag with the gift at the Arcade."
(Y/N)'s heart broke even more at his words. He was still thinking about Ali in that situation. (Y/N) felt stupid and also angry. She was mentally telling herself that she needed to forget Daniel and move on, but she knew that it was going to be hard.
"I'm gonna take it back-" Daniel nervously spoke. "You- stay here. Just stay here, okay?"
(Y/N) furrowed her eyebrows at him and then only nodded, without saying a word. She watched Daniel walk away, turning the corner to reach the Arcade again. She sighed and crossed her arms to her chest, tapping her feet on the floor. The wind hit her face and she felt some of her tears drying up on her cheeks. All she could think about was Daniel kissing her, his hands, his body, his everything.
Ishould've stayed silent. She whispered to herself and rested her head against the wall, closing her eyes for some minutes before she heard some steps getting closer to her. Opening her eyes, she saw Daniel again with the bag in his hand.
"Can we go no-" Daniel ushed her, placing one of his fingers on her lips.
"I think that these will look better on you..." He softly spoke while taking out the box with the earrings from the bag. (Y/N) was beyond shocked and turned her head away, but Daniel gently took her cheek to make her look at him again. "Let me put them on you."
"Daniel what-"
"Please just let me do it."
(Y/N) sighed and stood still infront of him. He moved one strand of her hair behind her ear and clasped the first earring to her lobe, then did the same thing to the other ear. He backed away a little to admire her better and smirked at the view.
"I knew it." He proudly said, more to himself than to (Y/N). She still had her arms crossed and another warm tear was sliding down her cheek. Daniel noticed it and wiped it away with his finger,  hugging her tightly and resting his chin on the top of her head. (Y/N) wrapped her arms around his back and cried into his chest while Daniel caressed her soft locks and kissed her forehead, reassurring her.
When she stopped crying, he cupped her face with his hands and cleaned her up from her tears and smeared lipstick.
"I look like a mess-" she softly chuckled.
"No, you still look beautiful." He gave her a short peck on the lips and smiled. "Should we go?"
When she nodded, Daniel wrapped one arm around her shoulders and walked with her in the dark streets illuminated by the moon light. She looked down and rested her head on his shoulder, feeling protected for the first time in her life. Daniel held her tight and squeezed her shoulder before speaking.
"So when do you want me to teach you some Karate?"

Hidden~ Eddie Diaz x Nash! Reader
A/N: I wanted to add some action, so I moved up when Shannon decided to divorce Eddie. Eddie is too good to make him into a cheater. I'm not really good at describing intimate-type stuff either.
Lose Some, Win Some
Tumblr media
Y/N's POV
I am finally home. I'm home with my son, and the school gave me a couple of days to rest. I sat on my couch, watching the news. "Today, police suspect LAFD's 118 for robbing $300,000 worth of cash from a local bank. Police say that the LAFD was there to help the bank manager and a delivery man with a seizure or a possible nerve agent. Police also say that they found the cash inside one of their firetrucks. More information coming up, soon."
After hearing that, I remember the number on one of the firetrucks at the crash. The 118 saved me, and if they saved me, that means that Eddie and my dad are being questioned for a robbery. I haven't known Eddie long, but I know that Eddie, nor my father, would rob a bank.
Zachary walks into the room. "Mommy, I'm ready for bed," my little man says. I turn to him and say, "Ok, I'll be in there in a bit." He runs back to his room.
I hear a knock at the door. It is almost 9:30 pm. Who could be at my door? I go to the door and look through the peephole. Eddie and Christopher stand at the door with a to-go bag.
I open the door, and I say, "Eddie? Chris? what are you doing here?" "I bet you have heard about what is going on. The police have ransacked our house, and I was wondering if you could watch Chris until this blows over?" Eddie asked me desperately.
I smile at the two boys. "Sure. Chris, Zach is in his room getting ready for bed. You can go hang out with him until I get you a bed ready. His room is down the hall, the First door on the left," I tell the little boy, and then turn to Eddie.
He hands me Chris' night bag, and I joke and say, "There better not be any evidence in here." He chuckles, saying, "Nope, no evidence, just clothes, and a toothbrush."
I invite him into my apartment. He walks in and says, "Nice apartment. Is that a skylight?" He points up, at the skylight, in my living room.
Tumblr media
(Y/N's Living room /w a skylight)
"Yeah, when Levi died, I would tell Zach that his father was watching him from the stars. So, I decided that anytime we missed Levi, we would watch the stars," I said, trying not to tear up.
Eddie reaches in his pocket and pulls out a picture. "I'm guessing this is Levi?" Eddie asks, handing me the picture. I look at the picture and lose my cool. Eddie sits me on the couch and just hugs me.
This is the closest I've ever been to a man since Levi. It felt good. I felt protected. I don't need protection because I was in the navy, but this man made me feel loved.
We sat on the couch, with me crying into his shirt. "Mommy, aren't you gonna put me to bed?" "Yeah." I get up, heading into my child's room.
Eddie follows me into the room, and what he sees shocks him.
Tumblr media
(Zachary's bed)
Christopher is sitting on the bottom bunk of a firehouse bed. The whole room was dedicated to firefighters. When we got in that crash, and he met his grandfather, Zach decided that when he gets older, he would become a firefighter.
Christopher looks at his dad and says, "Dad, Zach said he wants to be like you and uncle Buck when he gets older."
Eddie continues to look around. He walks towards the cubby. Inside the cubby is some of Zach's favorite toys, some pictures of Levi and I, and some pictures of Zach and I. What really caught Eddie's eye, was the picture of Zach on my shoulders, at the El Paso Zoo.
I am tucking the boys in, when I hear, "You were in El Paso?" I look back and say, "Yeah, that was Zach's 2nd birthday. Levi was born in Austin, but he grew up in El Paso." Eddie just nods and goes back to looking around.
As I'm tucking Christopher in he says, "Dad and I are from El Paso. It would have been cool if we met before LA." I smile at the boy, before walking out and turning off the lights.
"We have a lot in common, you know?" Eddie tells me. I look at him and he looks back. "Oh, really?" I ask. Eddie and I move closer to each other. I continue to look at the man and I ask, "Like what?" "Well, for starters, we were both fought for our country." Imagining this man in a military uniform made the moment even hotter. I moved closer. "Ok, and?" "And, we both had a son at a young age."
At this point, he was towering over me. I quickly pulled the man into a kiss. He kisses back. I move my hands from my side to his chest, and he grabs my hips. He deepens the kiss as I move my hands from his chest to his neck. I feel strong hands go under my shirt.
We keep making out for a couple of minutes until I pull back. "I'm so sorry. I forgot you married," I say frantically. "She told me she wasn't ready. She filed for divorce. I also didn't feel like our relationship was working. She left us when Chris was little. I kinda like this hot teacher, who was in the Navy and has a son. Also, she knows about being a firefighter." Eddie tells me, holding my hands.
I kiss Eddie again. Eddie and I head to my room, without breaking the kiss. That night was the best night in forever. Everyone got a sleepover.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The robbery thing has been put behind us, but a new problem has arrived. My father didn't tell the LAFD everything about why he transferred, therefore leaving him suspended. He hasn't told me either, but I think it is best to let him come to me about it.
I started work again today, except I feel like I'm looking after 3 kids. My dad insisted that we hang out, you know since he wasn't there for most of my life.
I wake up at 5 am to a large banging noise. I look to see who it is, and surprise surprise, it is my father with tons of groceries. "Dad, what are you doing here. Zach is still asleep, and I don't have to be up till 7 am." I tell my dad, letting him in.
He heads to my kitchen and sits down the food. "I was thinking that I could make you and Zach breakfast, and then I could take you to work."
I gave my father a loving look. I feel bad that his past came back to haunt him, but maybe something good will come out of it. Besides, I missed the father/daughter bonding we had. Eddie told me his food is at grade A chef level, so why not let him cook for me.
"Well I love what you're doing, but I'm missing sleep. If it's fine with you, could I go back to sleep?" I ask, and receive a nod back. I walk to my room, but I turn back to check upon him. I know he's sad, but at this moment he looks happy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up at 7 am to a heavenly smell. I walk into the kitchen, after remembering my dad was making breakfast. As leave the hallway to see my son and father talking about firefighting. I smile, and my dad turns to face me.
"Ah, you're awake! I woke up Zach and got him dressed for you." my dad says taking a bite of the french toast. I go into the kitchen and make myself some food. I see french toast, fresh fruit, bacon, eggs, and freshly squeezed orange juice. I look amazed as I take some of everything.
My dad works up the courage to ask me a question, "I was wondering if you wanted to stop by the firehouse, like old times. I have some people I would like you to meet." With my mouth full, I say, "Yeah, I missed those days" "Oh man, mommy is breaking a rule. She is talking with her mouth full," Zach says to the man next to him.
Dad laughs. "Well I ate, but I have to get dressed." I head to my room to get dressed.
Tumblr media
(Y/N's outfit to work)
I walk back into the living room and we get ready to head out. We make it to the school, and I say goodbye to my father. I take Zach to class. I get to the office and I see Eddie and Chris. "Hey, I was just hanging with your fire captain." "Well, can you tell him we want him back because his replacement is terrible?" I laugh.
"So, are you coming to the firehouse?" Eddie asked me like he knew my dad would ask me. I give the firefighter a suspicious look and then say, "Yeah, my dad asked me this morning. Would you like me to bring Chris?" He gives me a "yeah, sure", and then we say goodbye.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christopher and I had so much fun. We were in math, and I helped teach him fractions with mini Kit-Kats. Then, in English, we acted out storytime with his class. The day ended in science, where we build and erupted our own volcanos.
It is the end of the day, some and of the boys waited outside for my father. When he arrived, we got in and started heading towards the fire station, which was only a 5-minute drive.
We walk into the 118's fire station, and Zach went off. A scream could be heard throughout the whole building. All the firefighters and paramedics stopped to see what was going on. My dad walked up to me and said, "Just like his mother."
Eddie and another man walked down the stairs to see what was happening. I smile at the majestic man walking towards me. We go into a hug before I hear a cough.
"Eddie, aren't you gonna introduce me to the pretty lady," the man asked Eddie. I smile at the man, but Eddie and my dad roll their eyes. My dad jumps into the conversation, "Buck, this is my daughter, Y/N, and her son, Zach. Y/N, this is Buck."
Buck and I shake hands. "My name is actually Evan Buckley, but everyone calls me Buck. You are somewhat of what Eddie has told me. Your pretty, but I expected a younger Bobby, with boobs." Eddie smacks Buck's chest.
I'm laughing and I head upstairs with the others. "Mommy! Mommy! Can I go down the fire pole," Zach asks, tugging on my pant leg? I nod my head yes.
Another man and woman walk over and sit with us in the lounge. "Why is there a little boy running around? Did someone drop him off, because I think your only supposed to do that with babies, not children," the man said, sitting right next to me. "That's my son. I'm Y/N." I hold out my hand waiting for the man to shake it. "I'm Howie, but everyone calls me Chimney. This is Hen," The man says, and the woman waves.
We continue to talk until the emergency bell rings. Everyone heads downstairs, but I pull Eddie back. I give him a long kiss, with my arms around his neck and his around my waist.
I pull back and say, "I had fun the other night. Maybe, I could see if my dad could watch the boys, and you and I could maybe have dinner at my house." Eddie groans and says, "Oh, how I would love that. We could also watch a movie."
This man will be the death of me. "Yeah, but you need to go." Eddie runs off to an emergency, I head to the store with my dad, Christopher, and Zachary.
"You know, you don't have to hide Eddie from me," He tells me. I look at him shocked. "I see the way you guys look at each other, and I saw you guys kiss today," he says calmly.
"Well, since you know could you help me make a meal for him and I tonight, and can you watch the boys?" I practically beg. He nods, and then he moves towards the isles, picking out ingredients.
"I don't want to intrude, so I will give you a recipe card. But yes, I will take the boys, just use protection. I don't want to see another grandchild for a while," he says, earning a smack on the chest from me. "There are children around," I whisper.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My dad gave me a recipe for Ravioli, served with garlic bread and bacon-wrapped asparagus. I am almost finished cooking when I hear a knock.
Tumblr media
(Y/N's Date Outfit)
I open the door to see a devastated Eddie. I go in to hug him, and Eddie says, "She's dead. Shannon died in the emergency room. That call we left for, that was for her. What am I gonna tell Christopher."
I welcome the man in, and I sit him on the couch. "Do you want to eat?" I ask, hoping that I could get him to relax and eat. "No" is all I hear, before he shoves his face into my shoulder, and lets it all out. I rub his back and say, "Everything will be fine."
We sit there, on the couch, just cuddling. I smell something burning. My eyes widen and I yell, "My bread!"
Eddie's mind comes back to earth and he heads towards the kitchen. Not only is the bread burnt, but there was also a slight fire. Eddie quickly grabbed the fire extinguisher and put out the fire.
I was so scared. Eddie saved me from a fire. At the moment, I forgot all about the food, Eddie's emotions, and everything else. I kissed Eddie out of thankfulness. We kissed for about a minute before he pulled away.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have done that, with everything going on. I was scared. I could've just stood there and let the fire grow, but no, you saved me. You are m-" Eddie cut me off with a kiss.
Eddie picked me up and took me to my room. He laid me on my bed, and next thing you know, our clothes are off.

~
"I'll visit soon, Sarah. Tell the boys I said hi, alright?" You smiled softly, saying bye to Sarah before hanging up. You sighed softly, putting your phone down. You buried your face in your hands, sighing heavily. You heard your phone buzz, looking at the text on screen.
Starks Bitch Ass
You still coming for dinner?
You picked up the phone, going to answer Tony before you got another text. You furrowed your brows, clicking on it.
Nat
I need your help
(Y/N)
With?
Nat
You know
You frowned, gaze lifting to the picture of the Barton family, your family. You sighed again, eyes shutting briefly. The last time you had seen Clint had been three years ago.
Nat
And also with Stark
Nat
We're outside
You scoffed, standing up and walking to the front door. You watched the car stop, dust and dirt flying up behind it. You went down the steps, approaching the car. You saw Steve driving, Natasha in the passenger seat.
"How you been, (Y/N)?" Steve asked, unlocking the doors.
"Shitty." You got in the back, glancing at Scott.
"I thought you were dead."
"I thought you were like fifteen last time I saw you." Scott replied, looking you over. You cocked a brow, putting on a seatbelt.
"So.. What do you need me for?" You asked, brows furrowing.
"Convincing Tony of time travel." Natasha answered as Steve began to drive. You stared at her, confusion evident in her face. Scott noticed, clearing his throat.
"Okay, so-"
"If it has to do with science or math, I don't want to hear about it. I'll only get a headache." You waved him off, leaning back against the seat and shutting your eyes. You took a nap on the drive, waking up when the car came to a stop. You yawned, getting out of the car and walking towards the the lodge.
"Momo!" You called, smiling softly. Morgan's eyes lit up, wiggling in her dads grip. Tony set her down, watching her quickly run over to you. You chuckled, picking her up.
"Hey, Momo. Missed me?" You asked with a gentle smile. Tony turned and headed into the lodge.
"We didn't get to finish our story." Morgan said, pouting. You chuckled, watching Tony bring out a tray with drinks. The others stood at the porch, explaining their idea to Tony.
"And you came along because..?" Tony turned to look at you after you convinced Morgan to head inside while the adults talked. You took a seat, shrugging lightly.
"Had nothing better to do." You replied. You slightly spaced out as they spoke about science stuff, taking the drink Tony offered. You looked at the nature around the area, eyes squinting slightly.
"Are you gonna entertain this, (Y/N)?" Tony questioned, turning to look at you. You looked back at him.
"Wouldn't hurt to try, Tony." You said softly. Tony stayed silent, sighing through his nose. He turned his head when Morgan came running out of the lodge, climbing onto her dads lap.
"Mommy said to come save you." Morgan said. Tony held her, standing up as he looked at everyone. His gaze settled on you.
"Will you be joining us for dinner?" He asked, brows raising slightly. You licked your lips.
"Yeah, I suppose so." You nodded, standing up and smiling softly at Morgan. Tony nodded, walking inside. You looked at Natasha.
"Let me know when you find out where he is." You told her. Natasha understood, nodding. You followed Tony into the lodge.
"Tony-"
"You were brought along to convince me. I knew it." Tony set Morgan down, facing you with his hands on his hips. You gave a small nod.
"Yeah, I was. I wanted to see you as well. Nat wants to find Clint." You told him gently. Tonys' gaze softened, nodding. He had Morgan go to Pepper before sitting down on the couch.
"You ready?" He asked gently. You sat on the couch, grabbing a pillow a gently hugging it. You stayed silent, staring at the floor.
"I don't know. I.. I don't know if I'll punch him or scream at him when I see his face."
"I wouldn't blame you. I'll punch him next time I see him."
"Tony." You shot him a look, raising your brows. Tony shrugged, leaning back in the couch. You watched him, shifted and sitting criss cross.
"So, the.. Time heist-"
"Is the stupidest idea I've ever heard."
"Can you at least give it a try? Stop being a Negative Nancy, that's my job." You gently kicked his leg.
"If his theory even works.. Who's to say we can snap them back? What if we make things worse? Make that fifty percent into twenty percent?" Tony questioned. You could understand his concerns. He had a kid to worry about.
"I know, Tony.. Could you at least.. Think it over? Do some small tests?" You asked softly. Tony stayed silent, thinking it over. He took in a deep breath, rolling his eyes when he noticed your puppy eyes.
"Fine! Fine, I'll have F.R.I.D.A.Y run over some tests after dinner."
"Thank you."
~~~~~~~~~~
"You think you're up to this?" Natasha asked softly as the jet neared Tokyo. You nodded, watching the city lights come into view.
"Yeah, of course." You replied softly, slight nerves bubbling in your stomach. Natasha gently grabbed your hand, giving it a light squeeze. You gave her a small smile. Natasha landed the jet in an empty parking lot, getting out. Natasha took out an umbrella, wrapping an arm around you to keep you under it. You and Natasha followed the sound of gunshots, hearing them ease. You slowed down, watching Clint kill a man. You swallowed.
"You shouldn't be here." Clint said. Hearing his voice made your jaw clench.
"Neither should you." Natasha replied, watching him. Clint turned to face you and Natasha, features hard. His gaze softened when he saw you before he looked away.
"I have a job to do." Clint said, the water dripping down his face. You scoffed softly, stepping out from under the umbrella. You didn't mind the rain as you walked towards him. Clint looked at him, lips parting to speak but you didn't let him, slapping him as hard as you could. Clint stumbled back, fingers brushing over his reddening cheek.
"You had a job. You were supposed to be my dad! You left me to do what? Kill some guys?! I was drowning in my own fucking grief and where were you, Clint?! You missed out on 5 years of my life. Five years you'll never get back. How could you call yourself my dad and then abandon me when shit gets hard? I lost Laura too. I lost Lila, Nathaniel, and Cooper too. Then, I lost you and you left by choice." You stared at him, vision blurry. The tears mixed with the rain.
"Tony fucking Stark was there for me when you weren't. The selfish asshole himself.. Was a better father figure than you were." You breathed out, sniffling.
"(Y/N)-"
"These men dying won't change shit but what we're trying to do might. If not for me, do it for the kids. For a chance of seeing them again." You stared at him. The old feeling of safety you used to get from him had disappeared.
"There's a chance we can get them back. If we do... Things won't go back to normal. You easily abandoned me and I can't forgive that. I'll never forgive that. For three fucking years.. You never bothered getting in contact, never bothered checking in, never bothered being a father. You wouldn't have left if I was Cooper. You wouldn't have left if I was Lila. You proved it." You took in a deep breath.
"I was in pain-"
"And I wasn't?!" You snapped, chest heaving. You noticed you didn't feel the rain anymore, seeing that the rain drops had stopped mid air. You took in a deep breath like Tony had taught you, feeling the rain resume before it eventually eased and stopped completely.
"Are you gonna help the team?" You asked, studying his face. Clint gave a silent nod, gaze flickering back to Natasha. You turned around, opening your palm and feeling the water on your clothes and body move towards your hand. The water mixed together, making a large water bubble. You let it drop to the ground as you walked back towards the jet. You entered, getting in the pilots seat and buckling in. You were incredibly angry but you didn't want to accidentally cause a tsunami so you focused on your breathing. You set the course as Clint and Natasha quietly spoke. You stared at the night sky, watching the clouds pass by. You called Steve, watching the blue screen pop up with his face
"We got Clint, Cap. We're heading back now."
"Copy that." Steve replied, nodding before his gaze shifted onto the two behind you.
"How have you been, Clint?" Steve asked.
"Never better." Clint answered, sighing softly. You frowned, focusing on the clouds as the jet flew back to the facility. Steve and Clint caught up until Steve hung up, leaving the jet in silence.
"Did Bruce have any luck with Thor?" You asked, glancing back at Natasha. Natasha nodded, gently toying with her braid.
"Yeah, he mentioned it was a bit tough to see him. Thor wasn't himself." Natasha stood, approaching the front and placing a hand on the chair. You hummed softly. You felt your phone vibrate, taking it out and seeing Peppers contact. You answered the call.
"Yeah?"
"Morgan wants you to tell her a bed time story. She's sad you didn't have time the other day." Pepper explained in a slightly apologetic tone. You smiled, chuckling softly.
"Yeah, okay."
"(Y/N)?" You heard Morgan's soft voice, immediately feeling relaxed.
"Hey, Momo." You cooed, making sure the jet was on auto pilot before you leaned back in your seat.
"What story do you want today?"

Whatever It Takes
It's Task Force 141's first mission after gathering intel about the whereabouts of Samantha Coleman. Gary and the rest of the team proceed to briefing and would probably head straight to their rescue mission. Do these mini summaries even make sense? Find out soon.
Chapter 3 to another story made by Ray (echo-three-one) Comments and Reviews appreciated! I hope you enjoy! Love you all ❤️
Previous Chapter : Soap - F.N.G.
Tumblr media
"Run Through the Jungle"
Gary "Roach" Sanderson
Task Force 141
Task Force 141 - Mess Hall
Gary was almost done with his raccoon story when the PA system alerted them of an immediate briefing. Simon nodded to him and got up making his way to the briefing room. Gary also noticed the rest of his squad from earlier walk to the door, and was France crying on Alex? Much to his curiosity, he went to John who was still sitting by the chair.
"Anything you want to tell me, Soap?" he asked, patting his comrade's shoulder. 
"Bugger off, mate. Let's just go to the meeting." he replied, Roach couldn't tell if he was sad or disappointed or mad, but it may have something to deal with France crying.
"Whatever mate. I'm always here if you want to talk it out." he assured, and he was in fact true. It's been a month since the Task Force was created and Gary was the team's therapist, everybody's friend and ally no matter what. He always felt that he could feel everyone's emotions and believes he could be a sponge for someone who's unable to deal with the trauma. Ghost was one of his customers, he had a lot to deal with and Gary was always there for him.
"Few hours ago, our informants intercepted with a group of armed men on a safehouse near the borders of Germany. They told us that there was a man named Augustus who happens to be our step closer to Nero." Gary took note of the information General Shepherd relayed, his scribbles became faster as the General continued.
"We also received word that our hostage, Samantha Coleman is with them in one of these houses. We have to proceed with caution as this area may be rigged with traps or surrounded with tangos." he added.
"As for rules of engagement, fire only when fired upon. This is a local settlement and civilians may be anywhere. We don't want to create unnecessary civilian casualties just to retrieve a single person." he instructed. Gary took a quick survey of the room, everyone looked at the screen intently, he could see MacTavish's eyebrows furrowed in anger, France's eyes were downright sad and Alex, despite being a CIA agent, actually looked worried.
"As for assignments, I'll let your captain take the floor." Shepherd concluded and exited the area, Price then stepped forward and began briefing.
~
The silent chirping of the crickets echoed from the nearby forest. Gary took a cold exhale and leaned on the railings just outside their quarters. 
"Big day tomorrow, huh?" Ghost surprised Roach as he spoke.
"Yeah, it's been a long time since I spotted, but I still know the basics." Gary answered. He and Ghost were assigned for sniper support a few clicks away from the Alpha Team lead by Alex and the Bravo Team lead by Captain Price.
"Your math is good and fast?" Ghost asked, chuckling at the question. Gary inhaled before he answered the question.
"Yeah. Try me." he dared, glancing at the masked man.
"Suppose there's a target about 516 meters far, the wind is one half value." Ghost planned out the situation. Gary's gears started turning as he scratched his freshly shaven chin.
"Five degrees. Descending." he muttered. Ghost thought about it and agreed.
"Yeah. Your math is still on point." he mused laughing at him.
"What do you think Nero is up to? I mean it all doesn't add up. And what's with erasing memories?" Gary flooded the man with questions. Simon just pondered without saying any words.
"I dunno mate. I'm as baffled as you are." he replied, waving to Alex and France who were out on a late night walk.
"Say Gary, what's the deal with the new girl? One minute she looks tough as nuts then the second Soap comes in she's fucking crying?" Ghost rambled. Gary could feel a hint of jealousy but not entirely. It's as if he's mad and jealous at the same time.
"Well, we were too far from their table and I couldn't hear anything. Maybe they had an argument while Soap was out with her on the training room?" Gary speculated, he saw Simon's fists clench as he left his side.
"Eh. Not that I care anyway. Get some rest, spotter. Big day tomorrow." he remarked and went to his room.
"Yeah yeah." he replied waving at the two walking around the oval. They both waved back and Gary yelled good night to them before entering the quarters himself.
Gary plopped on his bed and closed his eyes. He was actually nervous enough that he could hear his own heartbeat, he took deep breaths and lulled himself to sleep. He wanted to see to it that they save the hostage tomorrow and a perfect sleep is what he could contribute right now.
GERMANY
0458H
Gary hated the ghillie suits. It was heavy, uncomfortable and animals sometimes land on you, but it does the job well. Treading the dense forestry just above the safehouse, Gary and Simon head out to look for a perfect spot.
"This one's got a view of the houses." Ghost whispered, signaling Roach to move forward.
"This is Echo Three One, we've cleared the two houses on the right, all empty. Over." Alex reported over their comms.
"Bravo Six copies that and the two houses here are also clear." Price reported.
"Looks like it's going to be the one on the far side." Soap concluded.
"I've got eyes on the safehouse. There's no activity on all windows. Proceed with caution." Ghost reported.
"Rog." Price replied.
"Copy that, eye in the sky." Alex replied.
Gary put out his spotting scope and placed his eye behind the lens.
"I've got my eyes on them, Ghosty. Alpha Team is on its way." he whispered.
Ghost rolled some knobs on his sniper making a soft clicking sound as he spins it.
"Don't call me that, Bug. I have eyes on Bravo Team. Still no movement from the safehouse." 
"This is Alpha Team, approaching the left side of the safehouse."
"Bravo Team is Oscar Mike as well."
"Roach, did you see that?" Ghost whispered.
"Yeah. The winds are shifting." Gary noted, sticking out a tool that detects wind speed.
"Three Fourths value at 400 meters. 15 miles per hour. Adjust to 15.3" he informed, calculating on Ghosts still shoulder with a pen. Decimals are too dangerous to calculate mentally. Ghost's sniper clicked once again to adjust with the wind, he took a deep breath and his targets stabilized once again.
Leaves rustled behind them, Roach quickly held on his rifle and slowly turned back to check if it was an animal. Nothing, but before turning back on his scope, he saw a black figure from the corner of his eye.
"Bollocks. We've got movement on our Six." Roach reported. 
"Remember our ROE, Roach. Fire only when fired upon." Price reminded.
"I'll take care of it from here. You go check on that." Ghost said as he turned back to his scope.
"Roger that. Be safe." Roach quickly ran to the direction if the rustling.
He couldn't make out much of the figure, but he was sure enough it was human. He tried to look for areas where the leaves were disturbed but with the wind picking up, he was clueless. Then there it was again, movement. He quickly dashed to it's direction, not wanting to get lost again. His boots slapped the fresh soil as he made his wauy to a clearing.
'Left, right then left by the rocks.' Gary mentally noted his each turn so he could easily remember but when he's chasing someone whom he felt like it doesn't know where it goes, then it's a whole different story.  
Gary was alone in the windy forest, in pursuit of a person who's out on the woods at five in the morning. He wanted to go back but there's something that bothered him and convinced him to keep chasing it.
"Roach, you okay? They're almost in the safehouse." Ghost pointed out.
"Yeah haaaah… I'm still haaaah… hot on its trail." Gary panted. He suddenly turned when he heard a yelp.
"It's a girl. It might be our hostage." he radioed and followed the direction of the sound.
Soft sobs and English curse words could be heard from where Gary emerged. This alerted the injured female and she plead at the British solider.
"Please. I'm not an enemy. I'm I'm- I don't know who I am or where I am… Please. Don't hurt me." She was an American girl, possibly around 20-30 years old and had blonde hair wearing a black tank top and grey sweatpants, there were a few bruises on her arms and she was threatening him with a stick.
"Maam, put down your weapon and calm down. I will not hurt you." he dropped his weapon slowly on the ground stepped forward, his hands both raised.
"Good good. I need help." she whimpered, looking at her sprained ankle.
Gary immediately took his ghillie off and ripped a piece of his sleeves to wrap around the sprain, treating it with something from his medical kit.
"There you go… You're feeling better now? Maam?" Gary accommodated. The unknown blonde nodded in agreement.
"So.. you don't know who you are?" Gary asked.
"All I know is that I'm with another girl, Brunette." she added.
"I located the one out on the woods. She's American but I can't ID her. She's about 20 - 30 years old, short blonde hair." Gary informed.
"Is that Maxine?" Alex and France simultaneously replied over comms.
"Excuse me. Do you go by Maxine?" Gary asked politely. The girl quickly covered her ears and screamed.
"Aaaaaah! My head hurts!" She yelled. Gary was quick enough to cover her mouth as soon as she opened it as to not give away their presence.
"I don't know if that's a yes or a no guys. But that definitely is a reaction." Gary said over the comms. He assisted "Maxine" and lifted her up as he tries to get back to Ghost.
"Thick trees everywhere. Any Idea where you are Ghost?" he asked over the secure radio.
"I'm at the same spot I've been since we got here. Can't you retrace your steps?" he replied.
"I could try." he muttered, carrying an unconscious woman on his shoulders across the jungle.
