#Bre's hug prompts

[breannasfluff]

[Collapse] with exhausted Warriors and Time?

Warriors is pushing himself too hard. It’s a behavior Time is familiar with, although he went by Mask back then. The captain looks after his troops, even when he’s not their leader. He’s a good man.

He’s also a stubborn one. Taking a break does not register as an option. If Time doesn’t address this, he’s going to run himself into the ground. 

“Wars, mind giving me a hand?”

He’s quick to stop fussing over the others and come over. “What do you need?”

“Your hand.”

“My…hand?” The captain puts it out, although his eyes narrow. He’s been on the wrong end of too many pranks not to be a little suspicious. 

Time examines it. It’s shaking slightly, despite how he tries to hide it. Stepping a little closer, Time drops his voice to a whisper. “Actually, I could use a hug.”

Now, he has no problem asking for a hug out loud, but Warriors falls for it hook, line, and sinker.

With a sharp nod he steps forward and wraps his arms around Time. “Don’t worry, you’re doing great.”

The assurance isn’t needed, but he appreciates it nonetheless. Time’s arms circle the captain’s back, firm and strong. Warriors takes a shuddering breath and, once it starts, the trembling doesn’t stop.

Time is ready for his weight as Warriors’ knees buckle. “It’s okay, Wars. I’ve got you. You’re pushing yourself too hard.” Slowly, he guides them to sit on the ground.

The captain shoots him a weak glare. “You did this on purpose, didn’t you?”

Time wipes away any emotion except surprise. “What do you mean? I just wanted a hug.”

“Yeah, yeah, sure you did.” Still, Warriors leans against Time and doesn’t leave.

First part here

Part 2

Rating: E WC: 3333

“Billy…”

They were spooning in silence, and Billy felt Steve hardening against his leg. He moved a little trying to break the contact, feeling his answer at the same time. He felt a desire he could barely control really often, but well, Steve wasn’t gay. Wheeler would come back from holidays any minute now.

“Billy, are you sleeping?”

Steve touched his face, then tickled his belly with his fingerprint, soft like butterflies. 

“Yes…” answered Billy, trying to move a little more. 

Steve let him go, crawling on him. He grinded against Billy, still touching his face. 

Billy shook his head a little, trying not to look him in the face, but Steve took his head in his hands and made him.

“No, Steve”, Billy tried to say firmly, forcing his eyes away from Steve, but he couldn’t for long. He stared at those hazel eyes and their tick eyelashes. Billy closed his eyes. 

He almost fainted when Steve touched his lips, when he forced his tongue inside and drank his breath away. He grabbed his shoulders, scratching him, intertwining their legs and pulling their hair. 

Steve straddled him and pulled down his boxers, then opened Billy’s legs and stripped himself too. 

“Steve…Steve…” moaned Billy, when Steve lined his dick to his rim, breathing loudly and whining. He nodded when Steve asked his permission with his eyes. 

“Fuck, fuck… oh god…”, every moan from Steve’s mouth went straight to his dick and his prostate, he was on the edge with his dick squeezed between their bodies. Steve took his hand and grabbed it, kissing his fingers, and he came. He cried and cursed, and arched his body, exposing more to Steve’s pushes. 

Steve stopped a little instant, then growled and loaded him with hot, sinful cum.

He fell on Billy’s chest, panting, and he kept their fingers tangled. He sweetly hugged him more, kissing sweetly his neck.

Billy didn’t dare move. He was shaking, really shaking, and not only for pleasure. His arm bent over Steve’s hand was aching, but he felt like he lost the capacity to move.

Steve was snuggling his head on him, giggling in a low tone. He hugged Billy and cuddled him like he was important. He caressed his face, his hips, combed his hair and smiled at him, then he rolled on his side and took him near, rocking him. 

“It was amazing, Billy,” he whispered, closing his eyes. 

It was the first time that Billy couldn’t sleep well in Steve’s bed. He thought that it wasn’t right, that it was just wrong, sick, and sinful, but he realized in the next few days that he wasn't strong enough to fight all that. 

He could sleep eventually, and when he woke up, for the first time in Steve’s arms, with his smiling eyes looking at him sweetly, as if he was a pretty thing, he was defeated instantly. 

He had a crush on Steve, but until it was a impossible crush, he tried to resist, but when Steve cuddled him, kissing him and fucked him in his bed, he surrended to the love and sinked in it, and for a while, it was completely magic. One day, they went together to the mall and he felt so happy and full of joy. They laughed together and had a chocolate milkshake, and then took some photos together at the photobooth, which Billy kept like a treasure in his wallet, in the secret pocket near his mother’s photo. 

He knew that it was wrong, really, that Steve had a girlfriend and he wasn’t his, but he closed his eyes and enjoyed, for once, being touched with sweetness, feeling like a precious thing, an important thing, and being treated right, for the first time in his life.

Billy was on his stomach, crushed by the delicious body of his lover, and Steve slowly stopped moving, whining sweetly. He moved the locks on his neck and kissed the salty sweat on his nape and back. Billy cooed satisfied while Steve came out from him. 

“Oh baby”, whined Steve, breathing near his head. “You’re so pretty”.

Billy cooed again, curling in his warmth, enjoying that moment before falling asleep. Steve rolled in front of him and took his face in his hand, looking directly in his eyes. 

Billy smiled and blushed at the sweet kiss Steve pecked on his lips. “Nancy will return tomorrow…” he said, and Billy stiffened. “I’ll… I’ll talk to her first thing when she arrives,” he whispered.

Billy blinked, feeling sick. He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t.

“I love you, Billy”.

Billy saw everything crumble to the ground, as he was watching the scene from outside. The air suddenly become ice cold, his heart stopped and then rushed again, beating painfully.

“No,” he whined, moving back in the bed, freeing from Steve’s hands. “No!” He repeated, scared, shocked.

“Billy!” Steve tried to grab his arm. “Billy, what happened?”

He was confused and hurted. Billy pulled his arm to free himself and sat in the bed, shaking. 

“No, you’re not… you can’t… we… we’re not…” babbled Billy, incapable of thinking, grabbing his clothes from the floor.

“Billy… I am serious… Please, stop. Please, stop, babe…”

“No!” He wore his pants; tears started dropping from his eyes. “No!”

“Billy, babe, please, stop… I’ll talk with Nancy, I promise, please… Please stop. Billy!”

Billy gasped and ran away, barely dressed, just a shoe on and the other in his hand. Steve ran behind him naked directly from the bed, but Billy started the car and stepped on the gas.

Steve didn’t call and didn’t ask for him in the next two days. Billy spent most of the time in his room, crying and seeing in his mind the scene another and another time, like a sick punishment to himself. 

He knew he was doing a bad thing, he knew that Steve wasn’t his, he wasn’t ever gay, he was just bored and alone and missed his girlfriend. Boys have needs and he just needed to empty his balls, and Billy was just hoping wrong and played with fire, and took something that wasn’t his, and Steve was just… confused and aroused and… it was impossible he loved him. He just messed up everything and he was just a burden, and a disaster. 

Max checked on him every now and then, but he didn’t dignify her with an answer. He was just crying and smoking, and crying again, also pissing his father who insisted on having polite dinners all together.

Billy had hoped Steve tried to get in touch, but his lack of contact just demonstrated how stupid and deluded he was, and how wrong had been screwing around together.

Max knocked the door. “Mike just called… we canceled the game in his house”, she said. 

Billy registered the information without moving from the bed. He was forced by his father to drive Max to Wheeler's house (they didn’t notice the crack in his heart when he heard it), although he just had to drop her there and pick her up at the end of the evening.

“He said Steve and Nancy are arguing at their house… they’re fighting”, added Max, just to talk. 

Billy concealed a whine in his pillow. They were fighting… it meant that they were still together, and maybe Steve told something to Nancy and it was entirely all his fault. He shivered and cried silently in his pillow. 

Max came back after a while. “Mike said that they’ll go to the bowling alley with Will’s mum. You… Can you drive me? You… you can play with us”, she added, for kindness and because she was confused by his silence.

Billy looked at her with his red and sore eyes and his puffy face. “Right”, he said, and pushed her to the side to wash his face in the bathroom. Max casually looked inside his room.

At the bowling alley, Billy felt completely clumsy. He wasn’t able to throw the ball correctly, but apparently no one noticed it. The kids were whispering between them sipping their sodas. They looked to Billy from time to time.

“Billy, you hang out a lot with Steve, right?” Asked Max suddenly. 

Billy dropped the hot dog he was eating, and then dropped it again trying to collect it again. 

“Not really, no”, he answered, looking away. His hands were shaking, so he put the hot dog on the table and took a cig from the packet. He dropped it too. 

“Mike says Nancy and Steve were fighting because he is seeing another girl!” insisted Max, completely oblivious. “You hang out a lot with him… do you know who she is?” Lucas, Will, Dustin and Mike now were staring at him too, hoping for juicy secret gossip.

“I… I don’t know such shit”, he growls, trying to appear self confident. His breath speeded up and he collected the cig from the floor, running out of the door to smoke. He was shaking so hard that he couldn’t light the cig for an entire minute. 

Steve said to Nancy he was seeing anyone else… he was scared he dropped his name and so everybody would know he messed up. For most of him trying to be a better person, he was only able to ruin everyone’s life. It wasn’t a surprise everyone just kicked him out, that he wasn’t worth anyone's love… his mother, his father, Max… and now Steve, he just wanted to be… treated well but he didn’t deserve it. Some people were wrecked from the crib, and he was one of them. He didn’t deserve love, or care, or Steve, he wasn’t good enough. 

He rocked back and forth, smoking hard trying not to cry there, out of the bowling alley babysitting a bunch of shitty kids. His heart was bleeding and he felt a sting of ice growing inside his chest until his fingers, he could barely hold the cig, shaking.

“Billy?” 

He gasped, drying his face and turned it at the other side. 

“Billy, are you ok?” Asked Max, and that simply kind question menaced to break all his defenses. He swallowed the tears and didn’t answer.

“Billy, it was you, isn’t it?” She whispered, concerned, getting closer to him. She didn’t seem angry or sharp as usual. 

Billy looked suddenly at her, realizing too late that he showed her his face.

He tried to hard his face and hid his tears, showing an odd, sad grin.

“You’re crazy”, he whispered, hoarsely. “Go away”.

Max lent him a piece of paper from her pocket. Billy looked at it and grabbed it, with a shaking hand. He looked Max at the face, his lower lip trembling, a frankly terrorized look in his face.

It was one of the pictures they took at the photobooth, scratched and ruined. Billy tried to tear it in pieces, but he could just crush it in his fist and throw it in the bin. Max found it earlier at the ground.

Billy stared at the picture. It wasn’t threatening, they didn’t kiss or simply look at each other. It could be a simple dude's photos, but the sweetness of the look on Billy’s face, and the way he bent his head to Steve’s showed the feelings he had for his former friend.

He tried to shake his head, despite the evidence.

“Mike said they were yelling so loud…”

Billy whined, incapable to hold back more the tears, looking miserable. 

“So, it’s true, Billy? I didn’t know…”

“I didn’t want that!” He cried, covering his face with his hand. He dropped the cig at the dirty ground. He sobbed for a while, and Max tried clumsily to comfort him. 

“He… he’s doing… that… with you?” Continued Max.

Billy, again, cocking his head. “I… I didn't want to… to ruin… to ruin everything”. Steve’s life and relationship, and even Wheeler's life, he didn’t have particular feelings for her, but he felt awful guilty for messing up with his boyfriend.

“She cheated on him first”, said Max.

Billy lowered his hand and looked at her. He stopped crying for the surprise.

“That… doesn’t matter”, answered Billy sadly. “I am not… important”, he whispered in a lower voice.

Max moved her hand a little more on his arm. Billy started to cry again.

“Wanna go home? I could say to the boys I’m not feeling well”.

Billy nodded. 

He drove unusually slowly and in silence. He didn’t turn the radio on and Max sat with her head down trying to breathe silently.

“Do you want to talk?” She knocked on his door after he went into his room and slammed the door.

“No. Go away”, he said hardly. Max turned back, but then turned again to him, on the doorway, tormenting her hands.

“I think they’re not good together”, she said, looking at her feet.

Slowly, Billy sat up and looked at her. “What?”

She waited a few seconds, then entered the door and closed it. She took again the picture that Billy had put again on his desk.

“He looks happier here”, she raised the photo, although Steve hadn’t a particular smile in that picture. He just appeared enjoying the moment. 

“He’s not… for me”, murmured Billy. 

With enormous difficulties, Max tried to console him and make him open a little. 

“Of course you deserve it”, she insisted, after Billy sighed several times saying he wasn’t good for Steve, because he wasn’t good for anyone. 

“I didn’t want to be… the third… I didn’t want to go so far…”

“But it takes two to do this”, she insisted again. She felt that Billy’s words were terribly wrong to himself, because even if it was true, Steve cheated on his will and it wasn’t Billy’s fault.

“It’s not your fault”.

“Of course it is! I keep… I keep being a jerk…”

“No”.

“And so why didn't he call?” He blurted out. Max shrugged.

“Maybe he just wanted to… speak to Nancy”. She bit her lips. “Maybe he was waiting for your decision”.

“I can’t decide anything about it”.

“Of course you can!” yelled Max. “You… you deserve good things”.

“No”,said Blly with a strangled voice.

“Yes”, answered Max.

“No”.

“I’ll talk with Steve!” She said vividly, standing up.

“Don’t you dare!” He yelled. “Don’t you dare say anything to anyone. Steve’s not… it’s not right, I don’t… deserve it.” He looked at Max. “Go away. And don’t you dare,” he hissed. Max went away, and she kept thinking he’s not right.

Billy can’t sleep. He missed Steve’s bed and its softness, the comfort and the warmth. Not only because he was with Steve in those moment. He really felt free to be himself only in the cabin, and he could sleep safely without fear. And now he lost it forever. Steve, the cabin, the bed, everything. Now Steve was probably with Nancy and maybe they fixed things and they were making love together. The thought stinged him like a knife. It hadn't hurt so bad before. 

He put the picture under the pillow and cried all his tears all night. 

Max knocked again at the door in the morning. If he wasn’t so sad, he would be annoyed. She was lucky he was crumbling apart.

“Steve’s here”, she whispered, without waiting for his answer. 

He was surely a little groggy for the sleepless night, and he wasn’t sure he understood.

“What?”

“Steve’s here. I… I didn’t do anything”, she rushed to add, hurted by his angry look. “I promise”.

“Well send him away”, muffled Billy hiding in the pillow again. 

“You send him away, if you want”, answered Max, tired of arguing with his stubbornness.

“Don’t you dare!” Growled Billy, but Steve entered anyway, stopping by the door. 

“Billy, please”.

“Go away,” whined Billy. He wouldn't admit it on pain of death, but he was scared as hell now that Steve was in front of him. He felt his stomach sick. He didn’t want hear Steve breaking up with him. Well, breaking up was exaggerated, they never had anything. 

Steve tilted his head to Max and she went away, closing her room’s door. Steve sat on the edge of the bed, near Billy’s arms.

“Billy, you don’t want to talk to me?” He tried to touch him, but stopped in the middle.

Billy hid his face more, without any answer. 

Steve sighed. “I broke up with Nancy”.

Billy moaned. “It’s true, Billy. Don’t you want to talk now?”

Steve bended to him, touching sweetly the locks on his nape.

“Why?” It was all Billy could think to answer.

“Billy… because I love you”, whispered Steve. 

“No you’re not”.

“I am. And we were not happy together”.

“I made you cheat”.

“I cheated, Billy. She cheated on me and we weren’t meant to be. We were miserable together”.

“I’ll make you miserable”.

Steve scoffed. “You made me happy. You make me happy, and feel good, Billy. I’m happy with you, for real”.

“But I’ll ruin everything, eventually. I do it every time”. 

Billy sat up on the bed, wiggling out from Steve’s try to take him in his arms. 

“We’ll try together”, smiled Steve.

“Will you cheat on me too?” Spat Billy. He said the most painful thing he could find.

Steve stiffened and moved back. 

“I… I promise I wouldn’t. I did it just because I… I fell in love with you”.

“Don’t say so. You don’t…”

Steve took Billy’s hands. “Of course I do. I love you, Billy. Do you love me? If you say you don’t love me, I… I’ll go away, I promise”.

Billy looked at his eyes, and Steve took a big breath. Billy tried to gain the strength to send him away. He had just to say that he didn’t love Steve.

“I… I can’t… Steve, I can’t say I don’t love you”.

He didn’t say he loved him, Steve thought, but it was enough for the moment. 

“I should never come back to Nancy, if it helps,” Steve said.

“It does”, answered Billy, abandoning himself in Steve’s arms.

Billy parked in front of Byler’s house, and Max looked worried at him. Steve was in the driveway with Dustin, they were about to ring the bell. 

Steve turned to the Camaro at the noise of the engine. Max came out of the car as he got nearer. Billy grabbed the steering wheel and tried to calm down his heart.

It wasn’t a fight, a couple days before, but they had a lively discussion. They were in the cabin again, they were cuddling on the sofa, but Billy complained they just stayed there all the time. If he was Nancy, he said, Steve would be free to be with him in public. Billy didn’t want to hide their relationship to his friends. He didn’t want to put advertising of it, but he was sick to avoid his eyes when they were with the kids, at least. Steve had snorted and he had cut the argument. Billy didn’t insist, but he felt a little hurted.

That was the first time they saw each other after that day.

Steve knocked on the passenger door. 

“Will you come?” He said dryly.

Billy slammed the door and lit a cig, walking on the driveway. Steve grabbed his arm, looking at his eyes from a small distance, too small to be proper. 

Steve slipped his fingers on Billy’s hand, intertwining their fingers. They blushed at the same time.

“Is it public enough?” Steve whispered, smiled and leaned his forehead on Billy’s.

Billy grinned nervously and nodded. Steve reached him for a kiss, pressing their lips together. 

The party and Joyce were watching from the door fearing they would start a fight, and then were staring at them.

Steve broke the kiss and took his hand, and Billy took a nervous drag from his cig. 

“Jesus”, he growled at the staring eyes. 

Steve gently pulled him along the driveway.

Please can I request - A + Anchor + Lando :) x

idk how to feel about this one so sorry

✿°•∘ɷ∘•°✿ ... ✿°•∘ɷ∘•°✿ ... ✿°•∘ɷ∘•°✿

prompt: forehead touches - [ ANCHOR ]:     in a moment where stress and anxiety are running high, the sender tries to ground the receiver by gently guiding them into a hug, resting their foreheads together to steady them.

being in tuned with technology and social media has its pros and cons. for lando, it means growing his platform and being able to share all his hobbies to anyone that would listen. it means sharing all the happy parts of his life. social media has has given him a space to immortalize pieces of his life.

but with his career in the mix, being as in tuned with it all has opened him up to criticism. he's exposed for the world to condemn every single move he makes. he likes to believe that he has thick skin, that the words are meaningless to him and don't affect him the way the sender might hope.

and while that might be true most times, it didn't reign true today.

lando's biggest mistake is opening a reddit thread he discovered on his twitter feed. he must've been staring at his phone for thirty minutes before it finally got to him. it was comment after comment about his career, and the more he read the more he began to doubt himself. he puts his phone down on the table, screen down, head in his hands as the unkind words begin to fester and grow in his brain. they're like weeds, cluttering his mind until it consumes him completely.

he began to question his place in formula 1, doubting whether or not her deserved his seat and if he was really cut out for it all. his mind takes him down an unnerving path of self doubt and anxiety, he isn't sure how long he sat on his couch just thinking about every single word of that thread.

there lock on the door jiggles, the door swinging open revealing you with a huge grin on your face. but the smile drops the second you see the look of despair on his face. you drop your bags by the door, closing it behind you.

"lando baby what's wrong?"

he shakes his head, attempting to play off is distressed state. but he fails, with tears streaming down his face as he turns away.

"im sorry," lando tries to laugh, wiping his face with the back of his hand, "fuck im just spiraling is all."

you sit next to him on the couch, brows furrowed as you reach for his hand. "about what?"

"my career." he leans back, huffing as he stares at his hand in yours. "just don't think im really gonna get anywhere with it. i just... what if i'm wasting my time?"

"why would you say that?" he flicks his chin towards his phone on the coffee table and you sigh softly. "baby..."

"what if they're right? what if i'm wasting my time, that i should quit while i'm ahead." he lets go of your hand, standing to his feet as he swipes his phone to read what's on the screen. "lando norris, subpar career and a subpar driver. i genuinely don't see how people believe he'd actually get far in formula one." he reads.

"lando-"

"he's joke on the track, how he's gotten any podiums must it must be by sheer luck." he lets out a humorless laugh, "yeah must've been."

you shake your head, trying to speak again but lando still cuts you off. you sit quietly, listening to your boyfriend's rant, the way he stumbles and stammers with tears on his face. you can only listen to so much before you're on your feet and grabbing his hands to grab his attention. lando looks down at you, eyes bloodshot and a frown present on his lips.

"i just don't know what i'm doing anymore y/n," he admits in a shaky whisper, "i just don't know."

he breaks down again, arms wrapping around your torso to hold you close to him as he cries into your shoulder. you hug him close to you, pressing a kiss to your temple as he cries softly. his breathing becomes ragged, chest heaving against yours. you can hear him choking on his sobs, feel his hold on you tightening.

"hey," you whisper, "hey hey," you cup his cheeks and forcing him to look at you. "breathe lando. you need to breathe."

you inhale deeply, holding your breath for a couple of seconds before exhaling. you do this a couple more times, waiting for lando to match your pace. and when he does do, you bring his forehead close enough to rest on yours.

"you are so much more than the words on a stupid reddit thread. and you still have so much more to give in this sport, more to offer, and so many more milestones to hit. okay?"

he nods, eyes falling shut as he allows your words to sink in.

"i might not know too much about the cars and the whole logistical side of it all but i do know one thing for sure. it's that you're meant to be in that car, on the track. fuck you love being there more than you love being with me."

that pulls a laugh from him, and he shakes his head. lando pulls away slightly, pressing a kiss to your forehead. "no true."

"slightly true."

"never true." he says firmly, cupping your cheeks and giving you a sweet but firm kiss. "thank you love," he mumbles against your lips. "i don't know what i'd do without you."

fluff party!

Bre, Happy Tumblraversary!! 🥳 🍾🎉

Could I request #22 ("hey let me in. I'm outside with your favorite pizza.") from prompt list 1 with Leon Draisaitl? Thank you so much!

you didn't think the breakup would be this bad. you had only been together for a few months, but you had fallen hard in such a short amount of time. so when he called you just to say that he didn't want you or the relationship anymore, your heart broke.

the first person you told was leon. he's been your best friend since you moved to edmonton years ago and despite his busy schedule and hectic life, he's always been a rock for you. of course, he never liked this guy in the first place, but didn't hesitate to step up and take care of you when you needed it most.

which is why he's currently taking the elevator up to our apartment with the proper supplies to help make you feel a little better. although it's a total surprise to you.

the first few times he knocks on your door, he's met with silence. he realizes you might not want to see anyone right now and maybe he shouldn't have shown up here unannounced. but instead of knocking again, he pulls his phone and makes a call.

"leon?" you answer, voice full of confusion. but before you get a chance to say anything else, leon starts talking.

"hey let me in. i'm outside with your favorite pizza."

"what?" he hears the excitement in that single word which makes him smile and when the door swings open, he can't stop the happiness that rushes through him. "you didn't have to do this."

"i did. that jerk broke your heart and i hate seeing you upset."

without wasting another second, you hug him so tightly which earns you a sweet laugh.

"thank you. that means so much to me. i don't know what i'd do without you."

leon doesn't know what he'd do without you either, but there will be a time to reveal his feelings. just not right now.

A deal is a deal parts 6-10

A deal is a deal

Part 6

I waited in my room for a little while just scrolling on my phone and thinking about everything. "Hi" I hear called out from the door. I look up and Grace was standing there. She dressed in a men's jersey that hangs down like a dress on her. Her jean shorts barely even visible under them when she is standing still. "Come in babe" I tell her as I pat the bed next to me. She runs over and jumps up on the bed next to me. "So, How did it go?" She asks. "I think it went good. I got permission to move you in here with me..." I started to say but Grace cut me off right there tackling me with a hug. "Really. Yaaaa" she yelled. "ok, ok ,ok." I say as I'm pushing her back laughing. we sit back up and I tell her "remember, a deal is a deal. You move in and become my little sister but I'm responsible for you and you well behave, right?" she shakes her head yes as she bounces in place. "Ok. well I will start getting things moved during this week between classes and we will get you moved in asap ok?" I added. she agreed right away. Just then Kat got to the door, she's wearing a cropped jersey and some tight workout shorts. "Are you two ready to go. we are missing the games!" she complained. "Ya let's head out" I said as we stood up. I swatted Grace on the butt hurrying her out the door. We all walked out to the car and loaded in to start the drive.

We made our way down to the local sports spot. It's a small restaurant that has TVs all over so you can see the games from ever seat. The 3 of us walk in and get a table, we each look around to see which games are currently on and then grab our menus. Kat slaps her down, "I don't know why I'm even looking I'm getting my usual, A Margaret and some fries for now." she declared. I shake my head at her and laugh under my breath. Kat looked over at Grace "How about you sweetie, What do you want?" she asks as she leaned across the table and looked over the top side of her menu. "Umm I'm not sure yet. I'm looking around" Grace replied. I set mine down and looked up. Kat turned to me "Ok, spill it. What did Flora have to say?" she asked excitedly. I smiled a little at her and then replied "Well she gave me the go ahead to be an official Big sister to Gracie here, and We can do the room change to as long as everyone involved is ok with it. I already talked to Bre and she was good with the move since she's getting the single room up stairs that just opened up." Kat "Wait what? That's not fair!..." I cut her off right there. They offered the room to me first but since I asked for my little one to room with me I gave it to Bre so she would be ok with moving rooms." I said. Kat crossed her arms in frustration and Grace blushed at me calling her my little. "Oh do I have 2 little at the table?" I added. "Shut up!" Kat snapped back with a laugh. just then the waiter walked over to get our orders. Kat got her margarita and fries, I ordered a mimosa and cinnamon roll and then it was Graces turn. She was still blushing a little from before and wasn't speaking up. "Go ahead sweetie, Tell the nice lady what you want to eat." I prompt her. This only makes her blush some more. She pointed at the menu and I looked over and then told the waiter "she will have the nachos... and an OJ to drink for her to please." The waiter gathered the menu and left to go put the order in for us.

Kat laughed and looked at Grace "You really are a shy little one aren't you baby?" It took a moment and then Grace replied "Ya, around people I don't know yet expecilly. I grow up in a small town and was sheltered by my parents." "That's ok, that's what college is for. It's going to help get you used to meeting new people and everything. Besides you'll have Tiff and I here with you to make sure your ok from now on" Kat tells her. "Just like I told you before, your safe with us so you can relax and just enjoy yourself." I added. It was almost wired hearing Kat try and be nice. People always find her to be mean or sarcastic at the least. I know she doesn't mean those things it's just her personality and we have been friends since highschool so I'm more then used to her. " I'm going to go use the restroom before the food and drinks get here" I say to the table as I stand up. I turn and reach my hand out for Grace and pull her up with me and start walking her to the bathroom with me. she never said a word the whole way she just followed my lead. We reached the bathroom and I guided her to the first open stall with out even asking and then I stepped in to the next one. When we were done we both walked over to wash our hands. "Good job" I told her as we started to walk back to our table. She smiled at my praise for her.

We got back to the table and both sat down, with out missing a beat Kat jumped back in to our conversations "So what else did Flora say, the things you told us so far were what you wanted to ask her but she said she wanted to talk to you too. Soo spill the tea" Kat says. Grace look at my with big eyes herself to waiting for me to speak. I took a sip of my drink that was waiting for me and began to explain it. "Well it's kind of complicated, Next year both Flora and Jane graduate... So the house will need to elect a new president" I started. "Oh my God. your going to run the house momma's?" Grace shout out. I turn and give her an curious look as I noticed she called me momma's but I don't comment on it. "Well It's not for sure or anything. They said they think I could be a good fit and the house already looks up to me so that's good but they gave me some things to take charge of to see how it goes." I explain. "Ok so what did they give you to do?" Kat asks almost sceptical. "Well I have to take charge of the houses booth we set up at the Halloween party this year. So I have a week to figure that out and get it done and make it big for us" I let them know. "That's alot of pressure in a short time. We can make it happen we will help you, right Grace" Kat says. Grace nodded her head yes. "We will get the other girls in the house to help too." Grace adds. "The other thing they gave me is the grade checks... I have to make sure they are all turned in, review them and then determine the punishments that need to be given out." I say with a deep breath. Grace , sounding almost worried says "Isn't that when some gets get cane in front of the whole house?" Kat takes a big drink of her margarita and replied "Yes it is. So you better make sure your grades are good so Tiff doesn't need to pull down your cute panties and spank your bottom" Then she starts laughing. "I'm sure you'll be fine Gracie." I tell her.

The food makes it to the table and we each get are plate in front of us and start to prep are food to eat. Grace jumps right in and starts in on her nachos but with the first bite she dripped cheese on her jersey. She wines right away and puts her hands in up since they are covered with cheese already. I saw this and reached in to my purse and pulled out a small pack of baby wipes and pull one from the pack. I use that to clean off the cheese as best I could and then I grab a napkin from the table and tuck it in the collar of her jersey. " Go ahead sweetie, your fine" I tell her. as I set a few extra baby wipes from the pack on the table next to her for her hands as she eats. We all get quite for a little bit as we eat and watch the games on all the TVs.

We were finishing up are food when out of the corner of my eye I see some people come walking over to the table. I look up to see Colt standing there with 3 of his brothers. "Hi lady's. I saw you over here and wanted to check in and see how you were doing after the party the other night" He says. Kat looks at them and replied "We are ok no thanks to your dumb bro's" she says with her sarcastic tone. "I understand they were delt with and did all the chores Flora have them the follow day too." Colt tells us. "I hope there is no lasting damage and we can all put it behind us." he adds. "We are fine, Thank you again Colt" I say and add "You took good care of Grace for us." Kat reached out and ran her hand down the arm of one of the guys next too Colt and says "Who's going to take good care of me?" He looked down at her and smiled. "I'll take good care of you anytime" he says. "promises, promises" she laughed. Colt looks back to me. "How about you, Can I take you out for coffee or something to make it up to you?" he says. I was unsure what to say.

After Flora told me he asked about me I figured this would happen sooner or later but I haven't made up my mind yet. I finally say "I'm not sure. I got alot going on right now with Classes and stuff at the house." I tell him. With out missing a beat He say "How about a bet. Your green bay plays my Tampa Bay today. If we win I get to take you out, If you win Me and the guys will help you with what ever you need at the house. Deal?" I thought about it for a minute, it would be nice to have the guys help with everything. There's going to be alot to set up for the Halloween party and moving all the stuff around in the rooms too... "Ok deal" I said as we shook hands. "Enjoy the game" Colt said with a wink as they walked towards the bar. He stopped at the waiter and told said something to her and then kept going. A minute later the waiter came over and she said "That gentleman at the bar just said he is going to cover the check and to get you what ever you want while your here." she tells us as she starts to grab empty plates and cups from the table. "In that case I'll have a second" Kat says as she points to her cup.

We spent more of the afternoon watching the games and with small talk. I obviously was more interested in the game now that there was something on the line. The game was coming to an end and it was very close. We were up by 3 right now and we had the ball. All we need to do is hold on. The clock is working it's way down and then it happened. My QB gets hit and gets pulled out of the game. Colt turned and looked back at me with a smile. The back up comes in and his first two plays were great, then on 4th and 1 we go for a run and the hand off is fumbled and Tampa gets it and runs it back 5 yards before going down. Now Colt is just staring at me with a grin like a Cheshire cat. We still lead and they have a long way to go with not much time to go. 1st play they pick up 3 yards, 2nd they get 5 yards. 3 play goes incomplete. it's 4th and 2, They are going for it. They set the play up for a short pass then it happens. The QB goes deep to a receiver that broke away from the pack in short yards. The defender right behind him. They jumped for the ball and Tampa comes down with it and stays on his feet but my team stumbled and went down. He's free to run it in and the games over I lost.

Colt wasted no time in walking back over, "I guess I get to take you out to coffee." He says. "Ya, a deal is a deal. I'll find a way to make time." I said. "I tell you what. We will still help you with anything you need. Just let us know. I'll message you later to set up a time for coffee, enjoy you drinks" he says as he winked and walked away. We finished up what we had and then I looked at the girls and said "Why don't we go over to the Halloween shop and take a look around. Maybe it will give us ideas for the party." They agree and we all get up. I take a moment to walk back over to Colt and let him know I was looking forward to coffee and thank him for picking up our tab. I head back over to the he girls and we head back to the car.

A deal is a deal

part 7

"What was that all about?" Kat asks as we go through the door to the parking lot. "Just laying some ground work, In case" I said with a small as I unlock the car and we all started to get in. I held the top of the back door as Grace got in side and then I closed it for her. I sat down and myself and asks "everyone ready?" looking directly in the mirror at Grace. "ya" both of them reply. "Ok how about we head over to the Halloween store to look around and get ideas for the party. we have to come up with something big and fast." I ask the girls. Both agree to come with me and we head over. The Halloween shop had opened up inside of our mall so I wasn't shocked that the girls would be ok with some shopping. We get to the mall and find parking in the structure. We made our way inside and started walking the mall. "So shopping first or Halloween first?" I ask the girls. "Halloween shop first, we may need to get some extras at the other stores depending on what we pick out" Kat replied. "That's a good point" Grace added and then continue "but I do wanna look at some stores after for sure if we can?"

"Yes dear, we can take a look around" Kat says as she gives her a hug.

We make our way to the Halloween shop and start to look around. We find the adult style costumes and look through them, "Let's see what they have... Horror icons?" I say. Kat laughed and says with her fingers as air quotes " I think you mean Hore icons". Grace burst out laughing. "Ok what about angels and demons? Or even Vampires" I say next. "That could be fun" Grace replied as she pulled down a Vampires dress and holds it up to her body. It was a long black dress with some red velvet on the front. "Sweetie, We need to make people want to come to us. Your hiding all the best parts in that" Kat says as she points to the chest and collar on the dress. "Maybe something like this at least" She added as she pulls down a long black skirt that had wide high slits in it so your legs would be showing almost all the way up. Then she grabbed a black corset and held that up to her body "Or this" she says. "Ok guys, How about we each get 3 things and then we will all try them on and see what we all think." both girls agree and we start looking around.

Once we get the ones we like we all head back to the dressing rooms. "Ok, Everyone ready? Let's all do the first one and then. ome out and show it off." I tell them. All 3 of us enter the dressing rooms and start to change. A few minutes later I hear Kat call-out, "Everyone ready? let's go on 3. 1...2...3" all 3 curtains swing open and we all step out. I'm wearing a sexy police officer costume. Body tight, short shorts and the dark glasses with it. Grace is next and she picked an fairy, It's a short pink and white dress with cute wings on the back. Kat was wearing skin tight black pleather pants and a black corset. She had a Son's of Anarchy sweater on to but still had her chest out. we all looked at each other's looks and critique what we liked and didn't like. Kat said "If we go with the fairy, I'm going to be the dark Fairy!" Grace smiled at that and I corrected"You mean the sluty one!" as I walked back in to try on the next look. "Your not wrong" Kat said as she slipped in her room. a moment later we heard Grace calling for help.Kat peeked in on her and the zipper had gotten stuck on her fairy costume. She helped her get it undone and off.

Kat gave Grace a pat on cute pink panties and went back to her dressing room. Everyone got changed and we called out for number 2. everyone steps out and again we look around. I was in a pirates one this time. a tight red top with a black skirt that hung down the middle and to a side but left a lot exposed. Grace had on a French maid this time. Typical look with black and white lace through out. The chest had an opening but still more covered then Kat would have picked. Kat was in a school girl uniform. Green skirt and the tie top shirt. "again seemd to easy for the party, and this time I mean the idea not you Kat" I said with a laugh. "Oh mine was to easy, I didn't know Grace was going to pick her work uniform again" Kat replied with a laugh. Grace Had a look of shock on her face for a moment and then said "At least we aren't the ones trying to give out the booty" as she reached over and grabbed my butt that was indeed hanging out of my costume a bit. We all laughed and went back in for the 3rd look. We all took the time to change once again and then called to come out one last time. Grace stepped out first in hers. It was a vampire, shirt red and black dress with a petticoat under the skirt. She had a high back red collar on it. Kat came out in a circus ring master look. The top hat and tight body top looked great. Last was mine and I was in a moulin rouge style look. A sexy dancer with black lace all over.

"Wow" Grace says as she looked at both of us. She pushed the two of us next to each other and looked at it again... "That's it." she said. "We do a moulin rouge, burlesque show. We charge a fee to come in and see it" Kat smile, "I love it. we get a bartender and sell drinks inside too? maybe we can ever rent a stage?" she says. "What if we get the guys to come in with us and have a magic Mike style vibe too?" I add in. I bet they would be up for it." "She just wants to see Colt with out a shirt on" Kat laughed. I ignored her comment and pulled out my phone. I texted Flora first and pitched the idea of doing our thing for the party with the Guys and splitting everything 50/50. She sent back quick and gave me the thumbs up. "This one's on you" she said. It felt like a lot of pressure but I was happy she gave the ok. Next I sent the message out in the sorority chat to see if the girls would all be up for this idea. It only took a few minutes for all the messages to start to come in. Everyone seemed like they support the idea. So far so good. We all talk about how great this can be and start to get excited. "Now I just need to get Colt on board" I say. Kat looked and me and said "He would do anything to get you on board" as she ran her hands down my body and did the pumping motion. We all laughed at her being crazy and then went back in to start getting dressed. Once we were all good we started looking around the shop more for costume pieces and accessories that would go with it and some props we liked. We found the things we liked and checked out with our bags. We decided to take the bags we got back to the car first then to look around some more.

After we dropped off the stuff we started to head back inside. I thought I saw Grace dancing a little so as we got back inside I asked if we should make a quick stop at the bathroom before we started shopping. The girls agreed and we headed that way. As we got over to the restrooms we saw the lady's room was closed because they were doing some work in there. There was a family lounge and restroom in the same area though so we were all able to go in there. Kat went ahead and went in to one of the single restrooms first, Then the other door opened. I started to push Grace to the bathroom and sit down next to a mom who had two toddlers next with her but instead Grace grabbed my hand and pulled me with her. I went in and we closed and locked the door and I turned and looked at her with an inquiring look. She just shrugged her shoulders and said it's ok, it's not like you haven't seen me before. as she walked over to the potty. She stopping front and turned around and looked at me and just stood there for a minute. I walked over to the sink in front of her and stood there looking at her, "Go ahead little girl" I told her. She lifted her jursey up and pulled down her shorts and pink panties and sat down. I could hear her start to go as she sat there. "Are you ok little one? do you need me to help take care of you again?" I asked. She looked up at me with the shy look on her face but didn't really make a move. "Maybe I should go ask that nice mommy outside if she happens to have an extra pull up I can borrow? what do you think?" I ask. She again just kind of looked at me and then shrugged her shoulders again. I thought about what to do for a minute and then I walked over to her and helped her to her feet. I grabbed some toilet paper and wiped her clean and then flushed the potty.

I took her by the arm and walked her across the room and put her face first in the corner. I lifted her jersey up more and tied it into itself so it stayed up and then told her to stay there until I said she could come out. I went over and used the bathroom myself watching her stand in time out with her bare bottom on display. When I was done with everything I washed my handed then pulled her out of time out and pulled up her pants and underwear and made her wash her hands. I grabbed her chin and looked her in the eyes and said in my best mom voice, "I expect you to be a good girl the rest of the day otherwise that won't be the last time I take down your pants and you end up in time out. Next time you'll have a bright red bottom too!" She shook her head yes and we walked out to meet Kat who was on her phone.

We started to walk the mall and stopped in Sephora to get new makeup both for day to day and special stuff for Halloween. We walked around some more stopping in some clothes stores looking around and then some shoe stores too. Kat got herself a new pair of black sey heels for Halloween. When we got to down more we past by BoxLunch and Grace begged for us to take her in. We took her inside and she was looking at all the fun stuff. She really liked a cute Lisa Frank shirt with a unicorn on it, She found a lounge fly bag that was Disney princess and a pair of PJs that had a matching shirt and pants combo and where carebares. we looked around at more stuff for a while and then before we left I got Kat to keep her busy for a little while and I snuck up and bought the 3 things for her. I tucked the Purse and Shirt in another bag and just left the PJs in the store bag. We all walked out and I handed Grace the bag. She looked inside and screamed when see saw the PJs. she thanked us both so much and was so excited for them. As we completed the last part of our trip around the mall we went in to Victoria secret and looked around. We took our time looking at everything and asking each other opinions about thing. we collected a few items to try on and keeps looking around. Once we were ready we asked for dressing rooms to try things on and I noticed that Grace only had a workout outfit and a small sports bra in her hand. We all got around dressing rooms and then I stepped out of mine for a second and knocked on Graces door. she opened the door to me but she was standing there in just the new sports bra and her pink panties, "Yes ma'am?" she asked. "Sweetie, you didn't get much? was there nothing else you liked? I'll help if you want?" I told her, trying to make sure she didn't stress over the price. "She shook her head and said "No, nothing I really liked or in my style" she answered. I wasn't sure but I let it go and went back to trying on my stuff. When we were all done both Kat and I had found a few pairs of panties and a bra or 2 we liked. Grace decided she didn't want the work out stuff so we checked out and headed back to the car. It was getting closer to dinner time by this point so we were think of what to do. "We could go back and watch the night game, Might give you a chance to talk to Colt too, if his still there?" Kat suggestions. We all agree and I shoot a text to Colt.

Me: Hey Clot, we are heading back to watch the night game. You guys going to be there? I wanna talk to you about something's.

We started the drive back over and once we got there we went back inside. I looked around and noticed that Colt wasn't there anymore so we grabbed a table again. we ordered drinks and say down watching the highlights from all the morning and afternoon games. Finally my phone went off

Colt: Hey sorry we left a while ago to do a few other things. If you wanna talk thought I can come back up? Maybe 45 minutes or so?

Me: well you don't have to if your busy, just had an idea I wanted to go over with you.

Colt: No worries, I can make it. see you soon.

I put my phone back down and look across the table. Both girls are looking at me with big grin's on there faces. "Looks like someone got good news" Grace says as she nudges Kat. Both burst out in laughter and Kat says "Oh looks like you might have to spend the night in auntie Kats room little one, Mommy is going to need the privacy" as she hugs Grace, both still laughing. I roll my eyes at the both of them "You know I can take you BOTH across my lap if I need too" I playfully scold them. "Yes mommy" they both say still smiling. I just ignore them both and take a drink and go back to watching the TVs. Kat had order some fries and the waiter brought them over so the girls were snacking on those as we hung out.

About 45 minutes later Colt showed up with another guy. The two guys came over to our table and said hello. "Would you like us to join you here? " Colt asks all of us. We all invited them to sit. "This is my best friend and VP, Gerry." Colt introduced his friend. Kat of course winks at him as she says hi. "So what's up Tiffany, What did you want to talk about?" We go ahead and explain our plan for the Halloween party. to the guys and after hearing everything they loved the plan and agreed to join us. We talked about how we would split the prep we needed to do and they way everything would work out. If we make this work it's going to be one of the biggest things we have done for the party in years, for either house. After we get all that worked out I also asked Colt if they would be willing to come by and help us move the bigger furniture that we needed to move in and out of the rooms at the house. I told him we would get as much moves as we could first so it shouldn't take long at all, Then we can do coffee after. Again Colt said it's no problem and offered to come by tomorrow after classes to help with that too. While Colt and I were talking I could see Kat and Gerry were hitting it off too. We all sat and watched the game for a while longer and then Kat said that her and Gerry were going to head out. She would see us later. I laughed and then looked at Gerry, "Have her home at a decent hour" I joked. They both laugh and walked outside. "Well I guess I'm taking an Uber home" Colt joked. Without missing a beat Grace said, "We can drop you off if you would like?" "Oh well that's very nice thank you" Colt replied. "Well I need to use the restroom. I'll be back" Grace said as she stood up and started to walk away. I watched her as she was leaving and she was using her hands to tell me to start talk with Colt as she left, such a little brat.

Colt spoke up first "So I heard your studying Child development? How's that going for you?" "It's been going good. I really love children and would love to do some work with them." I start "So you asking about me then" I added. He smiled a little and said "Well after the party I wanted to know a little more about the lady's I owe a favor to. That and I won't lie, I liked what I saw at the party." I blushed a little and said "It wasn't a bad view from my side, So tell me more about yourself?" Colt shacks his head and then starts "Well I'm studying finance. I've been the president of my fraternity for two years now and as you already know I know Flora and have since we where in school. I also play soccer for the school, So I stay busy. Is there anything else you wanna know about me?' He asks. We get in to more small talk to get to know a little more about each other now while we can. A few minutes later I see that Grace has sat at a small table in the bar top to give Colt and I a chance to talk. We keep talking for a few more minutes and then I waved Grace to come back over. Colt notices what she was doing to and as she got back to the table laughed and told her your fine coming back over. We all talked for a while longer and watched the game. As the game ended I went ahead and paid for the Drinks and appetizers we had at the table and we all went out to the car. I drove Colt back to his house and gave him a hug before he left. As he went inside I asked Grace if she wanted to move back to the front seat only to find she had fallen asleep in the back. I let her sleep and drove home. Once we got back to the house I woke her up gently and then told her I wanted her to go in and get her PJs on for me. she reached for some of the bags in the back and I told her not to worry I would get them taken care of just go. She asked for the new PJs at least so I gave her that bag and sent her on her way. I got the other bags together and made my way into the house and to my room. I got everything unload and put away and just as I finished Grace showed up at my door, in her new PJs. She looked really cute in them but I would never guess she more older than 15 in those. "What's up sweetie? " I asked her. " I was hoping I could at least come watch TV with you for a little while... If that's ok?" she said. "Ya Baby that's fine, let me just get changed myself. Have a seat on the couch for now." I told her. I changed in to my nightgown and clean panties and came over and sat down next to her. I pulled a blanket down of the back and tossed it over us and turned on the TV.

Right away Grace turned and laid down with her head in my lap to watch TV. I turned on a movie for us and we relaxed. I tried to adjust the blanket that's was over us and as I did I noticed that her pants had slide down a little and I could see a pull up poking out from under it. "Sweetie, what's this for?" I asked as I tugged on the wasitband of it just a little. She looked up at me with the her big eyes and said "I don't know. I thought it might make you smile, After everything the last few days and everything... also I guess I kind of like that you treat me like that. it's makes me feel safe and special." she says. "Ok sweetie, that's fine. Just relax and be a good girl. Ok?" I said as I brushed my head through her hair. She turned her head back to the TV. it didn't take more than about 10 minutes and she was fast asleep in my lap.

A deal is a deal

part 8

As the movie comes to an end I wake Grace up enough to tell her to move to the bed. She groggily moves herself from the couch to my bed and slumps into it. I help adjust the pillows and blanket and I slide in to the bed next to her and put my arm around her. I cuddle with her as we both settle in. She sliyppes her thumb in her mouth and we both drift off.

The next morning I wake up just before my 8am alarm goes off. I turn off my alarm so it doesn't wake her up and then I check her phone. It was fully charged and I see an alarm set on it as well so I leave her in the bed until it goes off. I hurry up and take a fast shower and get dressed for my day. I put on some tight jeans and a pin up shirt. Grabbing my bag to.make sure I have everything for class. I hear Kat come up to my door and turn to her right away and put my finger to my mouth to warn her to be quiet. She looks shocked with a big smile and then looks over and see Grace asleep in my bed. She wispers "Oh, well not who I thought you might have in your bed." I laughed at her and said "We can't all be you." I wrote a quick note on some paper and left it under Graces phone and then walked over and gave her a kiss on the head and looked back to Kat. I lift the blanket a little bit and with my eyes I told Kat to look over. She looked over at the bed and could see the pull up sticking out from under Graces PJ pants which had slide down even more during the night. I grab my stuff and we headed out and closed the door.

as we are walking to class I look at Kat. "So I'm guessing you had a good night?" I ask her. She laughed and said "Well let's just say he was still hungry when we left." I shook my head at her and then she added "So what happened with you last night?" "Nothing really, we go home. I told her to go get PJs on and go to bed and she changed and come back to my room. she was already dressed like that when she got there. she thought I would like it and said it made her feel more comfortable" I tell her. "Well as much as I am worried about our LITTLE friend in your bed, I meant with Colt!" she says with her tone. "Nothing happened" I tell her. She gives me a look, "Ok we talked alot and got to know a little more about each other and he's coming by today to help us move stuff at the house then we are going out for coffee together.... really nothing major happened" I tell her. "ok fine. well you better be ready tonight then... Do I need to babysit tonight?" she asks. "No she said she had class today and then has to go over to Nanny tonight." I replied. "Oh so.mom and dad can have a date night?" she laughed at me. "Brat!" I said as I smacked her butt and then gave her a hug and we parted ways to go to our classes.

I sat inside my early morning psych class and to be honest I was having a hard time focusing. My mind was skipping around on everything. The Halloween party and what we were going to do, Grace and taking care of her, The house and being nominated as a president and of course Colt keep popping in my head too. As class went on we got in to talks about peoples need to feel safe and comfortable and the length they go to feel that way even if only subconsciously. This made me think about everything with Grace right now. We started to get deeper into the lecture when my phone got a message. I checked it really quick and it was from Grace.

Grace: Good morning ma'am, I saw your note you left me. 1st Thank you for letting me sleep in your room last night and for the new PJs. You have been so nice and caring for me. I am still in my PJs right now but will go change in just a few minutes. I will send the picture to you as you asked in just a minute and I will hurry back after my class and start getting all my things moved over to our new room. Thank you again.

Grace: Picture. Still Dry!

I read the message and was happy to see she was ok and had a good night. Im not sure why but I was almost surprised to see she was still dry this morning. She was supposed to being going to get herself ready for class now "Like a good girl" and I would talk with her later so we can move the rooms. I know she's looking forward to that and I have to admit so am I. I went back to focusing on my class as best as I could. when my phone went off again. I looked down to see what else Grace had sent but this time it wasn't from Grace.

Colt: Good morning beautiful. Hope you have a great day and I'm looking for to getting to talk to you more over coffee tonight, But only after all the work is done 😉

My heart jumped as I saw the message. I can't admit to myself how I feel about him but that message really made me feel special.

Me: Good morning to you to Soccer star. Thanks again for the help and I look for to talking later. My last class is ends at 3 so anytime after that would be great.

I sent the message back just as my class came to an end. I packed up my stuff and started to make my way to my next class.

I walked over to the room and there was a note on the door telling to go to the day care room today. We used the day care room as a kind of lab for our class. I made my way over there and meet with the rest of the class. The professor told us that the manager of the day care was out sick and She was covering today so instead of normal class we will just be in here with the kids. We all set are things down and started to join in on checking on the kids and playing games with them. The professor came around and would ask us questions as we were with them. Helping us to understand and dig in more. I was looking around for a minute and then saw a little girl standing in the back by the bookcase and she looked a little sad. I walked over and asked her what was wrong but she didn't want to talk and kind of hide her face. I asked "is the book your reading good" and she peeked out a little and nodded her head. "Did you get to caught up in the book?" I ask... she hesitated and then nodded yes. "Would you like a little help" I asked her. She nodded yes again. I reached my hand out and she slowly took it. as we started to walk a little a made a loader comment "How about we go outside and find a shade spot to sit and read in". we walked out the door and I take her around to the back door to the changing room so that the other kids wouldn't know she was going in there.

Once inside I took her over to the bathroom and helped her get her pants down and saw that she had infact wet her pull up. It was one of the same prints I had picked up when shopping with Grace the other day and made me smile a little. I helped get her clean and got a new pull up for her. After she was all cleaned up and dressed we grabbed some drinks and walked back outside. "Wow that was a good idea to get some drinks. Let's start reading" I say aloud so anyone outside would hear it. We sat down and started to ready the book. a little later it was about nap time so we took all the kids inside and got them down for naps and some ez cots. I checked my phone and saw a message from grace again telling me she was changed and heading to class that had come in a while ago and I had not gotten to yet.

Once my class was over we all said good bye to the kids and headed out of the daycare. I started the walk back to the house and was thinking about the move. Once I got there I started to pack up Breannas clothes and move as much as I could up to the new room right away. I pulled out dresser drawers and walked them over one by one leaving just the body of the dresser for when the guys got there. I moved things like the lap and table top stuff over too. I got almost all of her small things done before Grace got back and started to help. I had her start moving her things over. I finished the last of Breannas things and then helped Grace put her stuff away. Little by little I got her clothes hung up and helped refold the clothes from her dresser which desperately needed it. Her lap and other desk top things made a home on my bed for the time being while we got the last of the stuff out. As we were wrapping things up the guys text and said they were on the way now. I sat down on the edge of my bed and when Grace came back in the room again with some small stuff I told her to put them down with everything else and come her. She did set them down and walked over to me. I put my hands on her hips and spun her around facing away from me and pulled the back over her pants down a little and checked to see what she had on. She was back in panties now, some blue lace ones. I gave her a swat on the butt and said ok. She turned back to me and jokingly yelled "Hey" after the swat and started pulling the back of her pants up. "What was that for?" she asked. "I have ever right to check on you now young lady and don't you forget it, or do you need a time out to remember?" I answered. She jumped and got a scared look "Not with the guys coming over" she said. "I can promise you if you earn something your going to I be getting it. I don't care who's over" I warned. she nodded her head and said "Yes ma'am"

a little later the guys text they were here. I walked down to meet them and bring them back up. I meet Colt at the door and Notify the house we had Guys here and they were coming upstairs to help with this so everyone could be aware and then walkes them all up. Colt had brought over 5 other guys with them saying he thought 6 guys would make short work of this. I showed them our room, then to where Breannas room would be and last where Kats room was. They did make quick work moving Bre's bed, dresser and Desk up to the room. Grace, Kat and I will go clean everything up for her later. Then they went over to Graces old room to move things over. As they started they saw that Grace left one drawer in her dresser so they pulled it out to be safe. One of the guys walked it over to our room and said "You didn't get a chance to move this one so I brought it for you." and set it down on the couch. I looked over and saw that the drawer did have much in it except some pull ups. Graces face turned bright red. I wispers to her "They don't know anything, it's fine" to try to calm her down. The guys moved her bed over and her night stand. Grace didn't have a desk yet but I would fix that for her soon. "Anything else you need from us?" The guys ask. I tell them "No. that was all. Thank you so much." Colt walks in to the room "Well that was easy after all, Ok well Im taking the guys out for a beer for helping and I'll come get you for coffee when your ready" he says. I again thank them all and then give Colt a kiss on the cheek. "See you soon" I added. The guys were in and out in about an hour.

I went back up and helped Grace start to get her room set up, Make the bed and put away the rest of the clothes. As we are getting the last things done I start to talk out loud "ok, so I need to go to the store and get you a desk, A TV for Bre's room since she moved for me." I looked at the sheets on Graces small twin bed and they were old and worn out. "Some new sheets for your little bed here and some more storage boxes for under it. Oh and maybe a book case since we have room now with the smaller bed." I added as I point to some open space by her bed. I grabe some of the newly folded clothes back in to Graces dresser for her and reloaded her underwear in the drawer. She had a nice mix of cute colorful ones with cartoons and animals and then some more grown up things like lace and such. I load them all in and then just to see what she would say I grabbed a small stack of pull ups a d showed them to her. "I'm going to leave some of these right here just in case" as I places them in the same draw as her other underwear. She looked and me and shook her head but I could see she was holding back a smile.

We would need to get some stuff to get the rest of her room done but for now it was all we could do. I need to get ready for my date and Grace had work tonight. We both went to go take shower and get cleaned up I was back in the room faster and started to dry off and get ready. I slipped on some sexy light pink lingerie and and black pencil dress with polka dots on it. I had gotten dressed but still not heard anything from Grace so I walked back down the hall to check on her. I got to the door and still heard the water running inside but I knocked on the door. "Grace, are you ok?" I called in to the door.... I heard her say something back but couldn't make it out. Again I called out "Are you ok" and again I couldn't make out what she said back. I put my hand on the door knob and realized it was not locked. I opened the door a little and asked again and this time I could hear grace say yes back to me. I stepped inside the room and closed the door. I could see her figure through the glass door.

Grace was shaving her legs when I stepped in and she looked over at me and stopped. "Wow, you look great in that dress" she said. Thank you sweetie, you need to hurry up or your going to be late and you know Miss Rae will not be happy." I tell her. "Yes ma'am" she huffs at me. I walked over and slide the door open a little to see her in the water. She had the razor in her hand and started to reach back for her leg. I stopped her and grabbed the razor from her hand. I pulled her over towards the end of the shower I was standing and Pushed her up straight as I could. I reached in with the razor and both hands and started to shave her little mound about her private parts completely bold. Once I got the bulk of the hair off. I handed it back to her and told her to hurry up. I closed the door to the shower and walked out of the bathroom with out giving her a chance to say anything.

Back in the room I started to do my hair and make up. A few minutes later Grace came walking back in wrapped in a towel. I stopped what I was doing and grabbed her towel to help get her dry faster. Then I put the towel down and inspected the job she did at shaving her legs and cleaning up what was left around her private. She had done a good job on it so I looked her in the eyes and gave her a small light pat on the mound and said "Good girl. This is how it should be". She smiled and blushes some more and said "Thank you ma'am". I signd for her to start getting ready for work and went back to doing my make up. I could see Grace getting ready in the mirror behind me. She looked around for some clothes first in no rush to put anything on. She finds a pair of jeans and a shirt she likes for the night and then dug out a small bra. Last she opened her underwear drawer and I see her pu out a pair of lace panties and look at them for a minute, she dropped them back in the drawer and picked it a purple pair of cotton panties and was looking at them and then with her other hand she reached in and picked up a pull up. She looked at it for a second and put the pull up back down and put on the panties. She quickly got everything else on and brushed her hair.

As soon as we were both done we walked down to the car. I took her to Miss Rae's house for work tonight and stopped in just to say hi again. Miss Rae said she was glad to see me and invited me to sit and have some small talk for a few minutes. I let her know "I can stay for a few minutes but I do have a date to get too soon" and she told me "I see that's why dressed up tonight, You look great. He's a very lucky guy to have a date with a lady like you." Once again as Miss Rae and I sat down Grace left to go check on the kids. I laughed as she walked off and said "Looks like all the kids are going to go play while the adults talk." Miss Rae laughed and agreed. "She does show her young age at times and is very shy but she does a great job with all the kids." She added with a smile. I shoke my head in agreement as well. Miss Rae then told me "Thursday night we are having a Halloween party here at the house, I would love for you to come by with Grace. Some of my sorority sister will be here with there spouses. It would be a great chance for you to meet some more graduates from the house." I looked over a little confused and said "Miss Rae I didn't realize you were in the same sorority before? That's amazing, I love meeting sisters." I smiled at her. We went in to some more small talk about the house and everything for a few minutes before I let her know I really must head out now. She walked me to the door and Grace gave me a hug before I left and then I got in the car to head to the coffee shop. I text Colt and let him know I was on the way now and he said he would meet me there.

I pulled out to the coffee shop and sat down at a table. It was only a few minutes before Colt walked in as well. He came over and gave me a hug and joined me. We started with small talk right away. I found out that his family is from the area and owns a couple of businesses. I told him where I'm from as well. We talked about what we are each studying and why we wanted to go in to that. Past story's and funny tid bits about each other. Then we talked about plans for the Halloween setup. We would get a large tent to put up for us and they would get the stage, We would take care of the DJ and they were going to cover the bar tender. We went over many other small details and planned out as much as we could. Over all it was a nice time. By the end of the night we gave each other a hug and again I gave him a kiss on the cheek. He walked me to my car and we said goodnight.

The rest of the night and next two days went by with out any major issues. we stayed busy getting things together and checking the girls costume for the party and getting a script together on how we were going to do everything. I was able to go to the store and get the last things I needed for the room and the TV I was putting in Bre's room as a Thank you. Everything was going good.

Thursday started off the same, I got up and got dressed I went to my classes and all was going fine. We have the party at Miss Rae's tonight and I was just going to do wear my teacher costume again with a better shirt, so I didn't need to do much. I was in the middle of my last class, It was about 3 pm. When I got a call from Grace. I couldn't answer it at that moment so I messaged her.

Me: Hey Gracie, I'm in class what's up?

Grace: No I need help!

I jump out of my seat and grab my bag as I run out the door. I called Grace back right away. "Grace, What's wrong? " I say as soon as she picks up the phone. She tried to say something back to me but I couldn't make out what she's saying as she crying. "Where are you?" I ask her. Again I have a hard time understanding everything she said but I heard Miss Rae's. So I as soon as I make it back to my car I head that way. I drove to the house as fast as I could and I soon as I pulled up outside I could see Grace sitting on the front porch. I throw the car in park and ran up to her, she was still bawling in the seat. "Baby, what happened? What's wrong" I asks as soon as I get by her side. She practically crawled in to my arms as soon as I sit down. As she's balwing and trying to tell me what's going on I'm still having a hard time out what she said but she did say "The Miss Rae fired me." I tried to get her to calm down and then the front door opened. Miss Rae came outside and see me sitting there, "Hello Tiffany" she says in a very serious tone. "Miss Rae, What's going on?" I asked her. "sadly, Grace has given me no choice but to let her go. It breaks my heart but I can't have this behavior in my house" Miss Rae tells me. Grace starts to cry even harder at those words, She starts to mumble "Please....Please..." in-between sobbing. "Miss Rae, please.

Can you and I talk about what happened just so I can understand" I ask. Miss Rae looks at us both and then agreed. "Ok come inside both of you... But her attire is disrespectful to my house." I stand up and help Grace to her feet to come inside, For the first time I noticed what she was even wearing. She was in a short little skirt and a tight shirt that was cut at the collar to show off more of her chest. As she made it to her feet her skirt was disheveled and her panties, or almost lack of where clearly visible, She had on a black skimpy thong on. I brushed her skirt down to cover her butt hanging out and we walked inside. She lead us to her sitting room and She invited me to sit in the chair across from her. I stopped for a moment and looked around, I took Grace by the hand and lead her over to the corner in front of the chairs and places her nosie first in it. "Stand here until I tell you to come out. Let me see if I can understand what's going on and maybe even help" Grace nodded and stood in the corner. I walked back over and sat down in the chair Miss Rae had invited to. "Thank you" Miss Rae said as she gestured towards Grace standing in the corner. "Yes ma'am, Now could you please explain to me what happened?" I asked Miss Rae.

With that we started the talk. Miss Rae let me know that Grace had shown up late for work today, with out calling, when she did show up she was dressed as I see her now, she had an attitude, she used foul language at her and during there talk she found out the only other clothes Grace had was her Halloween costume which was also inappropriately skimpy. I nodded my head to everything that Miss Rae said and let her know I completely understand why she would be upset with all that. "We both know Grace and non of that sounds in character for her, so there must be more going on. When I first meet you you told me that you look at Grace as a member of your family, A daughter you never had, Right?" Miss Rae listen to what I said and then nodded her head "Yes, Grace is like family to us. We all love her but This behavior is not acceptable in my house" She added. "Again I understand and respect that, Could I have Grace come over and explain to me her side of everything" I ask Miss Rae. She agreed and with that I called for Grace to come over and stand in front of us. Grace slowly walked over and stood where I indicated. "Ok Grace, tell me what happened?" I ask her. Grace starts with "My class was cancelled for the day so I went to the coffee shop and was working on my laptop getting some more school work done. Everything was fine and I started to pack everything up and then I needed to use the restroom. I left my stuff there and when I came back my backpack was gone. someone had stolen it" she tells us. I looked over to Miss Rae and she was nodding along. "Ok" I interrupt her. "Just so we can confirm everything and make sure we all understand each other let me make a call before you keep going" I say and look at Miss Rae as well both of them agree and I pull out my phone and call Kat. She picked up and right away I say "Kat I'm sitting with Miss Rae and Grace right now can I talk with you" I needed to tell Kat this so she understood to be careful with her language and then I put her on speaker.

"Kat, I know you worked today. Where you there when Graces bag was stolen?" "Yes I was, She's not the only person, multiple people have reported things missing today. The police are still here. They talked with her and even gave people there card, We are sti trying to figure out who it was." Kat tells the group. "Ok Kat, thank you for letting us know. Ill talk with you later, go back to dealing with that stuff. " we said our good byes and I hung up the phone.

I looked over at Grace and asked "Sweetie, do you have the card from the officer? " She shook her head, "I must have dropped it" she said. "Ok... So what did they steal from you." I asked her. "They took my whole packpack she said" I could tell how stressed she was getting because she was starting to use childish language. "What did you have in that?" I asked. "it had my laptop, papers, a school book, change of clothes... everything" she says as tears still roll down her face. "Ok sweetie, so you did have a change of clothes with you? you didn't plan to show up dressed like this?" I ask as I gestured towards her clothing. "No, I would never show up like this. I know Miss Rae's rules and respect her" she tells us. "Grace, why didn't you call me when this happened" Miss Rae asks. "I...I don't know, Everything was going on and I knew I was late and was just trying to get here" she answered. "You didn't grab your clothes when you went to the bathroom?" I asked. Grace took a moment to say anything and then admitted "Well... I waiting to long to go and really need to use the potty so I just ran. when I came back out I was going to get them and change and then come over." I nodded to everything. I looked at Miss Rae "Ok so I think we can at least agree that although she didn't make the best decisions today Grace didn't mean to be late or show up dressed like this". Miss Rae agreed, "Can you please re-explained the Halloween costume you had and the language used" Miss Rae asks her. "I had the Halloween costume in a different bag, I had just got it today. They didn't take that bag with my backpack, And I didn't mean to talk to you like that...I lost my head with everything... I'm so sorry" she tells us. I asked to see the Halloween costume and Miss Rae stood up and grabbed the bag and pulled it out. It was the French maid costume from the other day. "This is what she showed up with, the skirt is very short and especially if she's wearing panties that small under it. I can't have her in front of my friends like that" Miss Rae says. "Grace, what do you have to say?" I ask her. "I had a change of underwear and black leggings that I brought from the house, I swear.

I just liked that costume and thought it would be funny since I am the nanny here." she tells us. "Ok... Grace would you please go stand in time out in the kitchen while Miss Rae and I talk" I tell her. She looks at Miss Rae who nods to her that it's ok to do. Grace turns and starts to walk out but then stopped and turned around, "Please Miss Rae, Im so sorry. I can't lose the kid's, This family. I'll do anything for another chance" she pleads and then turns and walks to the other room.

I look at Miss Rae for a moment. "I may have over reacted a little, with the party tonight and everything I was a bit stressed and she was dressed like that and the language.." I stop her there, "It's understandable. She made some bad choices and broke rules, But like you both agreed your like family and you would just get ride of family, children for breaking rules?" I ask. Miss Rae shook her head "Your right... It would be delt with differently if it was any of my girls." she says. "Well Miss Rae that's just it, She is one of your girls. Maybe you didn't give birth to her but your like a mother to her and she a daughter to you." I pleaded with her. She thinks about it for a minute and then says "Well I'm not even sure...how to deal with everything." "I understand and I think we can solve this right now." I said as I stood up. "One moment please" I said as I excused myself from the room. I went and Grabbed grace and walked her back into the room and stood her back where she was in the middle of the room. I started with "Grace, Miss Rae and I have talked and she is willing to let you keep your job....No sorry, Stay as part of this family but your behavior was inappropriate. Your not in ANY trouble for having your bag stolen and we want to be clear about that but, Not calling, using bad words and everything, That is all under your control. So here is what is going to happen..." I took a deep breath and then said, "You will be going across Miss Rae lap for a spanking and then she will take you in and wash your mouth out with soap. when that is over you will be put back in time out until she says other wise." Grace looked a shocked but said "Yes ma'am... Ma'am's, I understand". Miss Rae jumped in and added "you will also be cleaning up your wardrobe. No daughter of mine is going to be dressing like that" with a scolding tone. "I will personally make sure of that part" I tell Miss Rae.

Miss Rae stood up from her chair and said "Ok let's get this taken care of" She reached over and grabbed Grace by the ear and lead her with me just behind them upstairs to the children area. The kids were currently down for a nap in there bed rooms all the way down the hall and we went in to a big loft space they play in. Miss Rae takes a seat in a chair and adjust her skirt and then pulls Grace to her side and down across her lap. I stood back and out of the way just watching. Miss Rae flipped the shirt skirt up and out of the way completely and started to rain down swat after swat on the poor girls pale bottom. It's began to turn red right away. Smack, Smack, Smack, each swat lands rotating between sides and the cheeks and upper thigh. Grace starts to kick her legs and crying all over again but this doesn't stop Miss Rae at all. By the time Miss Rae was done her bottom looked like it was on fire. "Up!" Miss Rae finally calls out. Grace stands up and as her hand reached to start rubbing her very right bottom Miss Rae stopped her. "Don't you dare rub or I'll take you back over my lap again" Grace jumped and pulled her hand away right away. Miss Rae grabbed the sobbing girl and walks her to a corner and rolled her skirt up and tucked it in the waste so her bottom was on full display. I walked over next to Miss Rae and dropped to a knee, I reached over and pulled Graces panties down to her knee. We all knew this would expose her any more then she already was but there is no way she couldn't feel more shame with them hanging around her knees while in time out. I went back to where I was standing before and Miss Rae went in to the bathroom to lather up a bar of soap. She walked back out and made Grace open her mouth and put the bar in. " Stand there. Hands on your hand and down drop that soap or move until I say otherwise or you'll get another spanking." she scolded her. As Miss Rae went back to the chair.

As she sat down she signaled me to come sit next to her. I walked over and sat next to her as we both looked on at the poor girl, Standing in time out. Her red bottom already showing signs of light bruises, her panties stretched out hanging between her knees and knowing that she has a bar of soap in her mouth. "Thank you" Miss Rae says. I turn and look at her. "I have to admit I was heart broken at the thought of losing Grace like this" "Yes ma'am, I understand and I'm glad I could help. Just remind me never to get on your bad side" I laughed. she looked at me and said "You better not, I have no problem taking you across my lap ether, it would be just like Garde reports time back in the house" she said with a very serious tone. With her tone I knew she wasn't kidding. After a few minutes she stood up and walked over grabbing Grace eat again and dragged her to the bathroom. As the two walked Graces thong fell to her feet and off on to the floor. I could see Miss Rae grabbing the soap and forcing it around in Graces mouth. Really washing it out. "Get all those bad words cleaned out of there" she says to Gracie. I looked around the room a bit and saw an arts and crafts area and had an idea. I stood up and walked over and picked up Graces panties and walked over to the table, I looked for a minute and found a pair of scissors. I took them both back back to the seat and waited for Miss Rae to come back out. a moment later Miss Rae came and sat down leaving Grace to rinse the soap out of her mouth. Once Grace was done she walked back out to us. I stood up and walked over to her and handed her the scissors. she looked at confused. I turned and looked back to Miss Rae and then back to Grace 'Miss Rae is right little one you don't belong dressed like this." I held up the panties stretched out and Grace knew what I meant. She cut both side of the panties in half so she couldn't wear them again.

Miss Rae asked "What now, she can't just run around with NO underwear on!" I looked at her and said your right, But since she acted like such a child and even got punished like one, I think the last part of her punishment is now." I said as I walked across the room. "I think she is small enough" I said as I picked up a pull up off the changing area and walked back over to her. "Since you can't seem to find appropriate underwear you can spend the night in this" I said as I stretch it out and then held it open by her feet. Grace turned bright red as I made her step in it. I helped slide it up her legs and in place and said "Just like I thought she is small enough that they fit. She can spend the evening in that." Both Grace and I knew it would fit but I didn't need to say that part. Miss Rae was fighting back a smirk and laughter at the sight of Grace standing there like that. "Now since Grace already got a Halloween costume the next question is do we give her black leggings to go with her costume or make her just wear what she brought?" I ask Miss Rae as I pat Graces now diapered bottom. Miss Rae smiled and held back a laugh but said "I think I can find a pair of black leggings for her. I don't know if my guest need to see her pull up hanging out of her skirt all night." "Fair enough, It's not your Guest fault someone can't act her age." I said as I looked at Grace. "Ok well if you want to look for those leggings I will run out to my care and get my stuff. lucky I already had everything loaded because I knew classes were going to be late and I wanted to help set up right after. Grace you stay right here while the grown ups go get everything together.

I teased as Both Miss Rae and I walked out of the room. Just before we parted ways outside of the room Miss Rae stopped me and thanked me again for talking her out of firing Grace and gave me a big hug, "This is why your going to make a great Sorority president" She said with a sliy smile as she walked away. How did she know about that? I hadn't told her anything about that? I wondered as I went to my car.

I grabbed my bag out of the trunk of the car and went back inside the house. I stopped in the sitting room and grabbed Graces costume too and then went upstairs. when I entered the room Miss Rae had just gotten back and gave Grace a pair of her black tights. We thanked her and then I took graces hand and "said come on let's go get changed sweetie" as I started to walk to the bathroom. "That bathroom is going to be small for both of you, just use the guest bedroom down the hall" Miss Rae tells us. I turn and take Grace down the hall and in to the room. Once we got inside and closed the door I turned around to look at Grace and laughed a little. "Did you really have to put me in a pull up right in front of her." She said with a pout. "I warned you the other day that wearing a skimpy skirt and panties like that was not appropriate. You did that part to yourself. So YES I did need to do it. it's not like you have never been in them before little girl" I said to her. she stomped her feet and pouted more. "Do you want another spanking or do you want to say thank you for saving my job and be a good girl?" She stopped and said "Thank you momma's for helping me out so much, I'll be good" I reached over and pulled her shirt up and off and then her skirt off too, leaving her standing there in just a pull up and bra. I got out her maid costume and got that on her and all ready, gloves, the headband everything. Then I grabbed the leggings Miss Rae gave us and helped her get those on. although Miss Rae was not a large woman by any means they were way to large for poor little Grace.

I left her like that for now and got on my teacher costume and then packed everything back up and we walked down stairs to meet up with Miss Rae. I showed her how the leggings were to big on Grace. Miss Rae agreed and said "I was worried our little one here would be to small for those. why don't you take her and my card and go run to the store. I needed to grab a few things anyway, You can do the shopping and get her the right size pants and Ill do the stuff here." We agreed and took her shopping list and ran to the store. First stop was to get clothes, I found her some better sized black leggings and I also grabbed her a red dress with flowers on it form the kids section. "Why are we getting that?" she asked. "Miss Rae and I agree you need to change your wardrobe, this will help make sure your not putting the other stuff back in after the party to head home." I told her as we were walking. next thing she realized we were in the kids underwear section. "Pick out a pack of panties" Grace looks at them and then back to me confused. "Hurry little girl, we don't have long" She looked around and grabbed a pack of Minnie mouse panties. "These?" she asked. I agreed and we started to walk up to pay. "Does this mean I don't have to wear the pull up all night?" she asked as we get in line. She didn't release that she was speaking as loud as she was as we entered the line and the lady in front of us looked back. She saw me standing there next to this small little girl who's leggings were practicing falling off. "Sweetie, it's ok if you need them, no adults are going to care if you need them" The lady says to Grace and turns back around. Grace buried her face in to my chest and we waited in line.

After we checked out we went to the car, I pulled out the leggings and asked Grace if she would rather stand by the door or lay down to change. She wanted to lay down so she would be less visible to the parking lot. I laid her down and slid down her pants and grabbed the new ones. Just then the lady who had been in front of us in line drove by and I stopped and waved bye to her which made Grace blush even more. I slide her new pants up and they fit perfectly. Let's go baby I said. "What about the new underwear?" she asked. "Those panties are for later, I just wanted to show Miss Rae that your taking her seriously and starting to change your wardrobe already."

A deal is deal

part 9

"Wait, what do you mean? I am taking her seriously about changing my clothes a bit but..." Grace stammered before I cut her off with "No buts, Miss Rae is right. Some of what you have is just flat out not appropriate, Especially for someone like you. I warned you about wearing things like you wore today and you did it again anyway. You also agree to behave and do as your told. Your my little sister now and live with me at the house and I promised to take care of you. You also see Miss Rae like a mother and her and I seem to both think this is what's best for you. We are going to get you all taken care of. This weekend you and I will be going in and changeing your WHOLE wardrobe to something more appropriate, end of story." With that I pat her diaper. It was wired, He eyes looked as if she was sad. Maybe even about to cry but I could see her trying not to let out a smile in the corner of her lips. "Now give me a kiss and let's get the rest of what we need so we can get back, Miss Rae is waiting on us." I said. Grace reached over and gave me a kiss on the cheek and we went over to the store. We Made quick work of the list from Miss Rae and got back on the road.

We pulled back up to the house and started to unload everything. Miss Rae had hired a serving staff for the evening and as we entered we saw them setting everything else up. We dropped off the stuff we just picked up in the kitchen and let them take over. Miss Rae came from the back yard and said hello again and let us know where she was with everything. "Everything down here is taken care of, Go ahead and go check on the children Grace. They are you job for the evening. once they are in bed then you may join the party too if you would like" Miss Rae tells her. I jump right in and add "If your not to tiered and cranky by then, since the party will probably be going on well after your ned bed time little one" Graces mouth fell open at that comment. I kept going and said, "Also before you go why don't you show Miss Rae the new clothes we just got you to start your new wardrobe?" I tell her. Grace is a little reluctant but reaches in the bag and pulled out her new dress and showed it to Miss Rae who looked very happy seeing it, Then Grace pulled out the package of Minnie mouse panties and showed those to her as Well. "Well those look more better then that STRING you had up your butt earlier. Very nice. Ok now run upstairs and take care of the kids" Miss Rae said. As Grace turned around to head up Miss Rae added in "if at any point you need to be changed tonight you come get Tiffany or I and we will take care of it, Don't you dare do that yourself". This made Grace go even faster as if she was running from those words.

Miss Rae looked at me after Grace was gone and told me to come see everything. She walked me out back and we looked at the yard being set up. It looked so amazing, like a royal Galla. After so small talk about the party she then told me "I know today was a long day for everyone, expecilly Grace. I want to help as much as I can. When you have time you may take her shopping and use my card. "Get her a new laptop to replace her lost one, New clothes and anything else she needs. I'll pay for it, no problem. Also since she seems to be fitting in this new role so we'll pick up a new ebony hair brush that you can use to spank her if she gets out of line and some pull ups likes she in now too. I want her to grow up to be a true lady." "Yes ma'am, I can do that. Thank you for your kindness." I tell her. "Also if there is anything you need, Please feel free to get it on me as well. I want to support the soon to be president of my sorority and ""Mother"" to my little nanny." she added with a laugh. "Wait, how do you know about that?" I asked. She looked at me with a smile. "I told you before, I still talk to my sister's. I still live this close to my old school and sorority. I sponsor and donate alot to the house and sorority as a whole. As alumni council we keep our eyes and ears open. Also Flora is a legacy and her mother is a close friend of mine. Flora is my god daughter. They should both be here tonight as well." I couldn't believe I didn't know all this. After everything with the house and I now I'm meet someone who does so much and didn't even know it.

We stood around and talked more about her time with the sorority and things she still does until it was time for her to get ready. "I need to go get changed myself, Why don't you go check on the kids and I'll meet up with you soon. Guest should be arriving soon." She said. I agreed and walked up to the kids space. I stood at the top of the stairs watching as Grace played with them kids for a little bit before I said anything, it was too cute to interrupt. Once I saw a good point I did come all the way in the room and Grace gave me a big hug and introduced me to all the kids. We said hi and talked about there toys and everything. As we were sitting there one of the twins yelled I need to go potty, and ran to the bathroom. The other twin seeming to agree said me too and ran to the room as well. Grace followed right behind them "Ok...ok" she called following them in. I walked slowly behind to see Grace interact with the kids. She got the princess training seat down and in place on the toilet and then helped the first girl, then the second. They washed hands and ran back out. I turned and looked at Grace "It's been a while since you have gone? or are you already wet?" I ask. "I'm not wet" Grace said with her stubborn tone. "Then maybe you need to try and go" I teased. She gave me a look for a minute... "Only because I happen to need to go, Not just because you said it" she grumbled... "Yes Baby" I replied sarcastically. Grace reached to pick up the training seat. "Ah ah ah, Don't." I say stopping her. She just looked back and then pulled down her pants and pull up and sat down. With the bathroom door wide open, her pants and pull up pulled down to her ankles and while sitting on a training potty with me watching she went potty. "Oh such a good girl" I praise her. "Now wash your hands for me." I added.

Grace pulled up her pull up and I reached in and check to make sure it was still dry and then she pulled up her pants and washed her hands before returning to play with the kids and I went back downstairs.

Some of the guest had started to arrive and gather in the backyard. I didn't see anyone I knew yet but I started to wonder and meet people. I was introduceing myself as just a friend of Miss Rae's to everyone, unsure what else to say. The music started to play and the grand door to the back yards opened up and out walked Miss Rae and her husband. She was dressed as Bella from beauty and the beast and he was the beast. They went all out on the costumes and looks amazing. The two made there way down the steps in to the courtyard. Miss Rae was handed a microphone and she made a quick speech to the party thank everyone for being her and wished everyone a good night. They started to greet everyone going around the party. When they made there way around to me Miss Rae stopped and introduced me to her husband, "Tiffany this is my Husband, Ryan. Ryan This is a new friend of mine Tiffany. Shes the one I told you about that from the sorority and she is friends with Grace" . Ryan reached out and took my hand in his and gave the top of my hand a kiss "It's very nice to meet you" he says. "Thank you, it's nice to meet you as well Sir." I said. "Oh no, Just Ryan. please " he corrects me. I nodded my head "absolutely, Thank you Ryan." I corrected. "Where is your drink at?" Miss Rae asks me. "Oh I haven't gotten a chance to get one yet." I tell her. "Oh we can't have that, Ryan go get Tiffany and I a drink. please" She says to her husband. without missing a beat he turns "Yes Miss Rae." he says and leaves to go get drinks. I look over at Miss Rae "Your husband calls you Miss Rae also?" I asked. She smirked a little and said "Yes. Everyone does"

"Come on I want you to meet some people" she tells me as she takes my hand and we start to walk deeper in to the party. We walked around for a little bit meeting several lady's ranging from some who were only a couple of years older then I was to some who were more around my parents age. All of them very nice and very well kept. Most were introduced as Miss in front of there name but some were Lady. I did sneak a moment to ask Miss Rae in between greetings why the all were called Miss or Lady. She simply said it was a dignified way of greating. We did run in to Ryan again and he gave us our drinks before Miss Rae dismissed him to go and socialize. Then we came upon a group of 6 women. Miss Rae brought us in to the group and I looked around. I saw that one of them was Flora. We gave each other a quick hug and said hello before Miss Rae started introducing everyone else. First was Miss Amanda, she was Flora mother or as she was introduced Lady Flora. I could tell right away Miss Amanda was the one who everyone else in the group was looking up to but even she seemed to look to Miss Rae. Then we went down the rest of the lady's. Miss Sharon, Miss Ruth, Miss Sylvia and Lady Anna. The it was time for Miss Rae to introduce me. she told the group "This is Tiffany, She is a current members of the sorority and soon to be president of the house when Lady Flora graduates this year." Everyone clapped at that. "She is already showing great promise and I think might also make a good addition to our world as well" Miss Rae added. everyone seemed very excited at this idea. What did she mean? there world? And what about announcing me is the next president? it hasn't even been brought up to the house yet?

My mind was going a thousand miles a minute at this point but I tried my best to stay calm and just smile. All the lady's got in to small talk and the. Miss Rae's phone rang. She looked down and looked at the message and then simply put her phone back in her pocket. She looked at me and said "Tiff, would you be a dear and go check on the kids for me. Grace says everyone is down and the rooms cleaned up." "Yes Miss Rae, I would be happy too." I said as I started to excuse myself from the group. "I'll go with you if that's ok" Flora spoke up. I need to stretch my legs a bit anyway. For a quick moment I was worried, What if I needed to check or even change Grace? what if she didn't have everything done up there? Miss Rae suddenly spoke up and said "That's perfect, it will give you lady's a chance to talk some more as well." So I accepted and Flora and I started to walk back to the house.

As we walked back to the house I looked at Flora and said "I didn't know you knew Miss Rae". Flora smiled at me and replied "Oh yes I have known Miss Rae for a few years now. After my mother joined the group she had the lady's all over at her house and soon I was introduced to them all. I got to see what being in the group did for her and knew I needed to join when I could. So now I am." "Well that's so great to hear." I said. Truly unsure how to respond to all of this. "What about you, It sounds like you have a good connection to the group now and could be joining very soon, And with Miss Rae's and the group backing you your a sure thing for the next president" Flora added. "Well to be honest I haven't really thought about it yet. I was still focused on the president role and everything else going on. The group seems like so much more right now." I said. Flora laughed a little said "It's fine, I know it's a lot but you'll be ok. I'm here for you to help make sure you have anything you need right now. You are me sister first and foremost." By this point we were reaching the top of the stairs in the house. We made it to the kids playroom and both looked around. Grace was sitting in the couch waiting. "Oh hi Flora, what are you doing here" Grace asks in shock at seeing her with me at the moment." Flora just said "Miss Rae and My family have been friends for a long time."

I walked in the room and looked around a little and yes it looked like everything was cleaned up. I peeked in the bathroom and it was also all cleaned up with the princess potty seat still sitting on the toilet Incase any little ones needed it over night. I came back over to the main room where Grace was now standing and talking to Flora and said "Well sweetie, It looks like you have everything ready. Did you want to come down with us or did you want to go lay down for a while and I can come get you when its time to head back to the house.?" Grace said she would like to come down with us for a while so I agreed and we turned to start walking back. Flora suddenly spoke up "Before we go back you should probably check on her, Tiff". Grace went pale as soon as she heard the words and I turned back to look at Flora "What?" I asked. "It's fine lady's. I don't care about it but you should probably make sure she doesn't need to change or go potty before we head down." She replied so nonchalantly. "How....How did you know" Grace asked. Flora just said "Grace, sweetie I suppose to know about my house. It's fine, I haven't told anyone. Your secret is safe." I reached over and grabbed Graces skirt and lifted in a little and reach for her pull up to check it. It felt dry at the moment so I said "She's right baby, you don't need to worry about anything. You feel dry right now but do you need to go potty?" I asked "Why don't we try to be safe" I added. I grabbed Graces hand and started to walk her to the bathroom. Grace didn't say a word and just followed. I helped her pull down her legs and Pull up and sat her on the potty. See took a second and then made a little tinkle and looked up at me. I check the pull up since it was down, I took the time to check it again, It was a tiny bit wet but still ok. I just gave her a little look and pulled everything back up and had her wash her hands.

The 3 of us started to go back to the party, Grace and I holding hands. when we reached the back door and Grace looked out she had a shocked look on her face at everything. "Wow" she said. We reentered the part and Flora excused herself to talk to some others and Grace and I went on to find Miss Rae. We found her a few minutes later walking around "So how was everything, In order?" Miss Rae asked. "Yes Ma'am, Grace did a great job." Miss Rae smiled happily "That's good, and did our little one need to change?" Miss Rae added. "No ma'am she was fine and I made sure she tried before we came back down" I told her. "Very nice. Well you two enjoy the part" She told us. The rest of the of the night went without incident and we just had some fun at the party. About 2 hours later I could tell Grace was getting tiered and we were going to have a big day tomorrow so I suggested we head home. Grace agreed and we started to head back to the house. On the way back up we found Miss Rae again and let her know that we would be heading out for the evening. She wished us a good night and again thanked us for everything. Grace and I went back in to get out things, we went upstairs to the guest room where we left our bags and grabbed everything. I decided it would be better to change Grace to the dress we got her before going home so she would be more comfy on the ride. We got the maid outfit off and I grabbed the dress. As I turned to put it on her I noticed her pants were a little puffy. I stopped and checked her and she had wet her pull up. "Grace your wet, why didn't you say anything?" I asked her. "Well ummm, I didn't think it was that bad and it just happens we were walking back...I'm sorry" she said. I stopped her and just laid her down. I walked to the other room and grabbed a pull up and came back in. I changed her really quick in to a new pull up and got the dress on her. we stopped and tossed it in the diaper pail on the way out.

We loaded in the car and made our way home. By the time we got there she was asleep in my car. I woke her as much as I could and helped her to our room. I stripped her down to just her diaper and got her in her bed and then got myself changed and in my bed for the night. Tomorrow is going to be a long day.

A deal is a deal.

part 10

The next morning Grace woke up before I did. she sat in her bed playing on her phone trying to stay as quiet as she could so I could sleep until it was time for her to get up for class. I didn't have class today but was taking lead on making sure everything was ready for tonight. After about an hour Grace finally got out of bed and went over to grab some PJs to put on and a towel so she could go to the shower. By the time she stood up she was dancing as she looked for clothes because she needed to go potty so bed. So far she had kept her pull up dry last night. She put her cloths on as fast as she could and then grabbed the towel and ran out the door. As she started to head down the hall she ran in to Kat. "Hey, How are you doing. I know yesterday was alot. Did the police give you any updates" Kats asked her. Grace still dancing a little "Ummm, I'm good. it was a long day but Tiffany saved me...again. No nothing from the cops yet" she answered. Grace tried to squeeze by Kat and still get to the bathroom as she talked. "Ok, well let me know if you need anything." Kat says. Grace looks back at Kat "Thank you so much" as she keeps pushing down the hall, but just then she runs right in to Flora and falls to the ground. "Oh my god", Flora says "are you ok sweetie?" she says as she reached to help her up. Grace starts to let a tear out and she tries to stand up. "I'm sorry sweetie, I was just on my way to your room to check on Tiffany to see what she needs from me today" Flora continued. "Are you ok?" Flora asks again and then notices that Grace was keeping her hands down and in front of herself. "Oh, Ok..Ummm come on" Flora says again and takes Grace by the hand walking her back to her room.

Flora knocked on the door before she entered. I had just started to wake up. I hadn't even checked my phone yet. "Hello" Flora calls out as they come inside. "Oh, good morning" Flora I say as I hear her voice. I try to focus my eyes and see her standing there with Grace in toe. "Is everything ok?" I ask. did she do something wrong?" I added. "Oh no, nothing like that. I was just coming to check in with you and Grace kind of ran in to me in the hall, but I think she needs a little of your help" Flora explained. I looked over to Grace as my eyes start to clear up a little and I can see she is leaking a little on her pants. I start to get out of bed and go to her. "Thank you Flora, I'll take care of her" I tell her. "You don't mind if we talk for a sec while you do that do you. I have something's to get done this morning " She asks. "ummm no I guess it's fine" I say as I look in Graces eyes. Grace looks kind of scared. I make Grace lay down on the floor and Flora sits on the couch right across the room. I grab some wipes and go back to Grace. "what can I do for you Flora" I ask as I start to slide Graces pants down reviling a very wet pull up. I get the pants all the way off and start to take down her pull up as Flora replied "Well, it's more the other way around. I was checking in with you for what you need today. I have heard your plans for today and it sounds great, we want to make sure it goes as well as expected to help set you up for next year." I finish wiping Grace clean as Flora is talking and roll her pull up into a ball and toss it in a bag and in the trash then stripped her all the way down. I stand her up naked in the middle of the room as Flora was finishing her sentence and looking on. I wrapped Grace in a towel give her a kiss on the head and a swat on the butt "Go shower baby" and I send her out the door. I turn back to Flora and say "Well right now I think we have everything lined up. I just need to make sure the girls in the house are dressed and ready on time and I could use 3-4 extras to help decorate too." Flora nodded her head and then said "I'll send out that out in the group messenger now. I'll be back at the house before the event and make sure everyone here checks in with me so I can check all costumes." she says as she heads to the door. "Thank you so much" I say. She stopped at the door, "Good job by the way. Your doing great and if you keep this up your going to really stand out." Flora says with a wink just before walking off into the hall.

a few minutes letter my phone goes off and it's the group message from Flora telling the house what's going on. it doesn't take long for replies to start coming in. Kat comes to the door "Good morning beautiful" she says as she walks in. "How are you doing after your long night? I heard you saved Grace again?" She asks as she sits down. "Im doing good" I said "Ya last night after Grace left the coffee shop she went right to Miss Rae's house. Not only was she dressed inappropriately for a nanny but she was late and had an attitude when she did get there. Miss Rae was not having it and was about to fire her." I explained. "Wait it's not all her fault, the stuff and the coffee shop Grace didn't have control of." Kat says. I start digging through my closet to find some clothes for the day as we talk. "I know but Grace wasn't explaining things the best way because she was upset and she did make some poor choice so when I got there I helped calm things down and explain everything. By the time I was done Miss Rae did agree to let her keep her job, but it wasn't easy" I explained. "Ok as long as she's not in trouble for someone stealing her bag" Kat said defensively. I laughed as I tossed my cloths for the day on my bed. I started to change as we kept talking. "No she's not in trouble for that, but having an attitude, not calling Miss Rae to let her know she would be late and why, dressing the way she did at all knowing she was heading to work. all that didn't help. so she needed to learn a lesson." I explained as I got my new underwear and bra on and in place. "A lesson?" Kat asked. "Yes" I smirked as I got my pants on and buttoned "Grace said she would do anything to apologize for everything so Miss Rae took her across her lap and spanked her bare butt, put her in time out and washed her mouth out with soap.." Kats looked a little shocked by that news. "I watched the whole thing, then I made Grace cut up her underwear and put her in a pull up for the rest of the night, Oh and I just changed that wet pull up a minute ago with Flora sitting right there talking to me while I did it." I added as I got my top on and started my hair. Kat started to laugh.

Just then Grace came back in the room in her towel "Oh hello again Kat." she said as she walked in. "Hi sweetie" Kat says to her as she stands up. "Ok I got to run. Love you both and I'll see you tonight." She gave us both a kiss on the cheek and then told Grace "Be a good girl today, ok?" as she started to walk out "Yes ma'am" Grace answered as Kat left. I turned to grace and said "hurry and get dressed so your not late for class baby" She agreed and started to finish drying off. She opened her draw to grab understand stopped... "Um panties or pull up mama" she asks. "I leave it up to you today. But I better see a good girl" I told her. She opted for panties for now. she grabbed a pair of cotton panties that were white with flowers on them. The she got herself dressed and grabbed her bag. "I'll see you after class" she said as she gave me a kiss and ran out the door.

I looked back at the group messenger and saw that a few people had agreed to help decorate so I jumped in and asked them to meet with me at 2pm to get things set up. I sent a message to Colt next

Me: Good morning soccer star

Colt: Good morning madam president

Me: Not yet, lol.

Colt: Looking forward to seeing your smile again

Me: This will have to do for now

PICTURE

Colt: Amazing.

Colt: See you soon.

My heart is going crazy right now. I've never reacted like this for a guy I don't even know all that well yet. Just then I get an message from Miss Rae

Miss Rae: Good morning Tiffany, I wanted to say thank you for everything yesterday. Your off to a great start and you'll make a great president next year. Shortly after that you might even be able to become Lady Tiffany. I can't wait to see your growth. Best of luck with your event tonight. I spoke to Flora about everything and have sent some things over for you lady's to help with tonight.

Me: Miss Rae, thank you for everything. You have been amazingly supportive on everything. I can't express my thanks enough for you giving up your time for us.

Miss Rae: I'm more then happy to support you. in fact I would be honored to be your mentor if your ok with it?

Me: It would be my honor to have you as a mentor for me. Thank you.

Miss Rae: Ok then it's settled. I'll become your mentor. Go have fun today and we will talk more later.

Me: Thank you again and have a great day

I got up and went to run some errands I had for myself for the day before I had to head down to the event space. I ran my errands and grab abit to eat then meet at the spot at 11:30 for them to start getting the tent up. It was a very large one which works to give up lots of room to preform. Then they told me Heat lamps and a second small tent was set up behind the main one was added to the order with a note that said "to keep everyone warm and a tent for costume change and waiting room." This must be what Miss Rae was talking about. Everything got set up and the workers were gone just after 12. I looked around at the space myself for a while. Then I heard a second truck pull up. I walked out to see who it was. The driver stepped out and said he was hired to set up and run some lights for us for the evening and had some other decorations to put up as well. I looked at his paperwork and the name.on the bottom was Miss Rae. I showed him inside and explained where we were going to have the stage set up and everything. He started to set his stuff up in a corner out of the way and then Started to hang long red silk banners all around the tent. As he was working the Guys showed up with the stage they were bring. Colt walked in and gave me a big hug and then looked around. "Wow.... I was going to say we are here to save the day but now I feel a little inadequate" he said. I laughed and said "I sure hope not as I tapped his upper leg" The look on his face was priceless.

The rest of the guys started to come in with the pieces of the stage and I showed them were to put everything. we had enough to actually set up two more small stages, one on each side of the tent so we could spread out the show more. The tech Miss Rae sent set up lights for us and more red silk around the stage and hanging down behind it, The guys got the sound station set up next to the light station and the DJ talked with the tech about all the plans. Next we got the bar set across from them in front so we can sell drinks. Everything was looking so good. I showed the guys the dressing room tent and we talked about where everything would be and how it's going to go. As we were looking around and talking about everything I looked back to Colt when I mentioned the changing spaces and said "I hope you'll be able to hold up in all this. We wouldn't want any inadequacies tonight" as I laughed. The rest of the guys laughed at my joke and Colt pretended to tackle me for the remark. As he wrapped me in his arms I heard a voice from behind us. "You had better not do that or I'll start chopping things off" the voice yelled. I knew right away it was Kat. He put me down right away and put his hands on the air. Both Kat and I started laughing. "Better" she said.

Kat came over by me and said "Wow girl, this all looks great already". "Thanks, I got a tone of support" I said. We all got moving again to get the last things in place and then the girls from the house showed up to help with finally decorations. Everything was perfect. We all went back to the houses to start getting ourselves ready. When I got to my room Grace was there finishing homework she had on my laptop.

"Ok sweetie, we need to start getting ready for the show" I told her. "Yes ma'am" she said as she saved her work and got up. "Now we got all these cute things for tonight, Your costume has some cute little short but what to put under it I wonder" I said as I reached into her drawer and grabbed a pu up in my hand. Grace saw it and her face dropped. "Do I really have to wear that for the show?" she pouted. I just smiled at her for a moment. "Please please can I just have my adult stuff for the show?" she begged. "I'll tell you what, Miss Rae has offered to let us go shopping and get you new things to replace everything that was stolen and a new wardrobe, all on her card. We will go this weekend and you will be an extra good little girl for me during that. If you promise then I'll think about tonight." I offered. Grace looked a little shocked "She's going to pay for everything... really....wow....umm ok, ya I'll do that." Grace says. "Ok then, which ones do you want to wear tonight?" I asked. She walked over and looked and then pulled out a pair of black lace full coverage panties with Red accents in it and held them up. "These please?" she asked. I agreed and she started to get changed. When she was done she was in a small red vest that pushed up her chest and a set of black shirts with the hips of her panties just over the topsides of the shorts. She had on fishnets and heels and then a small headband with a hat on it to keep the hat on place.

I started to get myself ready. I put on a pair of red ruffed boy short styles pants and a red lace bra. Then I put on a black coraet and some sheer black pantyhose. I did my hair in curls with a red flower in the top. I slipped on some red heels I doctored up with some black lace for the night.

Grace and I did our make up and finished getting everything together, when we were ready we went across the hall to get Kat. Kay was dressed in a red bra with a black dress coat over it. The coat had tails in the back the were down past her butt. She had on some red spanks and black lace panties over them and some black boots. She had a top hat and a crop with her as well and finished the look with a small bow tie around her neck.

we all talked about the cute looks we had on and headed down staira to start getting everyone else together. All the girls looked amazing, Flora came over wearing a black and red corset skirt with black solid panties under. She had fish nets on but was in flip flops currently because she was going to be barefoot for the show. once we had everyone together we made our way to the tent. Everyone looked around and loved the set up we had. I showed them the back tent we had for final touches and waiting for your time. As we were looking around the guys showed up and joined us. All the guys were wearing black pants. Some of them had on Bowler hats or the old gangster hats. There were a few different vest going around as well. Then I saw Colt. He and a few other guys walked over and they were dressed in black pants, with the bow tie and wrist cufflinks, like they came right from chipndales. Colt came over to say hi and gave me a hug. we started to talk and then 2 of the guys with him each reached down and grabbed a side of his pants and with a tank from each his pants came off. My mouth dropped open as I was not expecting that at all, Colt now standing in front of me wear black bikini style briefs. I will admit he looked very sexy like this. Everyone started to laugh at what was going on and then Colt grabbed me by my sides and lifted me in to the air and brought me into his body so I wrapped my legs around his hips. He started to pules his hips with me in the air like that and everyone quickly changed from laughing to ohhhh and ahhh. I let it go for a minute, for everyone else's enjoyment of course then I made him put me down. We got everyone together around the stage and Colt, Flora and I got on the stage and started the pep talk. We got everyone hyped up and ready for the show.

It was now time to start. we sent our ticket people outside to take payments from everyone coming in. We charged 5$ per person to come in and see the shows and we sell drinks from the bar. All the money we make will be split between the houses.

Promise you won’t hate me? // Getting Together trilogy part 3

Fandom: WWE Pairing(s): Shayna/Dakota, platonic Jessamyn & Dakota Prompts used: "Promise me you won't hate me?" + "Why are you smiling at me like that?"

BRE House, night

When Shayna and Mia get home, it's almost 11:30 at night. Walking into the living room, the first thing Shayna feels is the impact of another person hitting her and she instinctively wraps her arms around the body, looking down to see Dakota, who has basically jumped into her arms. Laughing, Shayna gives her roommate a tight squeeze. "Well hello there," she says, as Dakota lets go of her and goes to hug Mia.

"You guys were so good!" Dakota says. Mia lets out a sigh and Dakota hugs her a little tighter. "Even though you lost, it was still a really good match," she says, trying to reassure her friend.

"Thanks Kota," Mia says. "I'm going to go shower and call it a night. See you guys in the morning," she says, before heading up the stairs.

Jessamyn stands up from the couch and gives Shayna a high five. "Nice job tonight," she says.

"Thanks Jess," Shayna says. "I'm gonna go shower and go to bed soon. You coming Dakota?" she asks her roommate.

Dakota nods. "I'll be up in a few minutes," she says. She watches Shayna walk upstairs, before turning back to Jess. "I don't think I can do it," she says quietly.

Jess gives Dakota a quick hug. "You got this," she says. "You'll be okay."

Dakota nods and takes a deep breath, before heading upstairs. She goes into the room she and Shayna share and pulls on a pair of pajama pants and an old NXT t-shirt, along with Shayna's sweatshirt that she had been wearing earlier in the evening. Shayna gets out of the shower and the two roommates fall into the easy rhythm of getting ready for bed together.

"So, I was hoping I could talk to you about something," Shayna starts, trying to not let her voice shake.

Dakota climbs onto the bed next to her. "So was I," she says. "But you go first."

"Promise me you won't hate me?" Shayna asks.

"I could never hate you," Dakota says.

Shayna takes a deep breath. "I like you, Dakota," she says.

Dakota feels her breath catch in her throat. "Really?" she asks, not quite believing her ears.

Shayna nods. "I didn't realize that my feelings for you went beyond friendship until today. But I really, really like you. And I understand if you don't feel the same way but-" Suddenly, Shayna is cut off by Dakota’s lips against hers.

When the two pull away from each other, Dakota has a shy smile on her face. "I like you too," she says. "I was going to tell you tonight, but I guess you beat me to it."

Shayna opens her mouth, but no words come out. She sees the smile Dakota is giving her, soft and shy, and feels her cheeks flushing. "Why are you smiling at me like that?" she asks.

"You're cute when you're flustered," Dakota says, smirking.

Shayna feels her face getting warmer. "I'm not flustered," she says, avoiding eye contact with Dakota.

"Sure you're not," Dakota says with a grin, pulling Shayna back in for another kiss.

Shayna can't help but smile. "So, can I take you out for dinner tomorrow night?" she asks.

Now it's Dakota’s turn to blush. "I'd like that," she says, curling up next to Shayna. And they stay that way.

Maybe 18 or 36 (hug prompts) for the greens? I always love the way you write them! 💚

Oh my gosh, you're seriously too sweet 💚💚💚 between the two prompts, I'll have to pick 36! @foxgloveglen requested that prompt previously, and I feel like it's finally time I sucked it up and committed myself to it!

Hug prompts: 36. I thought you were dead hug

Characters: Butch, Buttercup

Word Count: 2713

Content warnings: near-death experiences, body horror, slight gore, blood, demonic entities, implied major character deaths (but from the perspective of an unreliable narrator)

Basic background: Apocalypse AU where the world has ended under mysterious (HIM) circumstances (it was HIM), and now, man-eating creatures roam the streets. Through a series of unfortunate events, both the rrb and the ppg are all split up. Depending on who you ask, BC and Butch are the last known survivors of the two sets of triplets. Currently, they live in the last Townsville stronghold defending the “City” from those man-eating creatures as they wait for their siblings to make their way home. The stronghold is made up of the previous citizens, along with a few ex-villains. The tough of the tough are on night patrol (unless you’re an ex-con, then night patrol is mandatory), which is the City’s only chance at survival.

a/n: whoops i made this sad, but there's a happy (?) ending. sorry : ( this wasn’t at all what I had planned on writing but I was trying to think up a new angle for the prompt instead of the old same-old, same-old.

------------------------------------------------------------------

"No," Butch mumbled to himself, the mantra slowly ramping up in speed as he picked his way through the debris, "no, no, no, no, please no."

The sun was bright on his back, but the air was still too crisp, and the day was still too early to truly feel its warmth. He maneuvered around on auto-pilot, combing through one pile of trash to the next, careful to avoid the shadows. As long as the sun was on his back, he would be safe enough to search for her. But when it started to get dark out? If he couldn't find her in time?

"Buttercup!" He cried out, listening for an echo of an answer, but only hearing his own voice in response, "Buttercup!"

What would he tell everyone? What would he tell Bellum?

He tried again, shouting louder, "Come on, you fucking bitch, answer!"

Butch had no idea how he'd ever find the courage to tell the Professor. Or—he thought, his heart dropping into his stomach—her sisters. Butch couldn't.

When—not if (never if)—he found them all again—his brothers, her sisters—there was no way he could look Bubbles in the eye and tell her Buttercup was gone. Just gone. Done for. Dead. Her heart would break. His heart would, too, he thought dully, if it hadn't already. He didn't know; it was at the very least breaking, but he didn't think there was much of a difference—between broken and breaking.

Was his heart really breaking—or broken—or whatever the right word was? When had Buttercup even wormed her way in there and made herself at home? When had she started to mean this much?

Butch turned on his heels, checking for the sun, then for any clouds, revealing only a crisp blue mid-morning sky, before pivoting quickly in another direction to dig through just another pile of broken concrete. Still no Buttercup. He was less precise about things now, throwing the trash to the side and chucking concrete out of the way. They—those things in the shadows—would no doubt notice that he was being too loud, but Butch couldn't find it in himself to care.

"You just had to play stupid freaking hero, didn't you!" He was not entirely hysterical, but very close to it, "I told you not to! I said it wasn't worth it! And here we are!" He stopped digging and leaned back on his heels, whipping his head side-to-side, looking, searching, using the x-ray vision he was always forgetting about for any possible clue or sign she was around.

"This wasn't my idea! You were the one who wanted to do a night run!" He continued to gripe at the Buttercup living rather contently in his imagination—the one that kept laughing at him every time he turned over the wrong rock. 'Come on, Butch,' She mocked, 'if you seriously can't find me, how will you find our family?'

"Bu—Buttercup!" He called out, cupping his hands around his mouth, ignoring the way his voice cracked its way through his ever-tightening throat. When there was again no response, he fell onto his ass and held his head in his hands. "Don't leave me alone," He muttered, trying his best to blink back the stupid, pointless tears, "I can't be alone."

But he was, wasn't he? Butch hadn't seen Boomer in 789 days. The last time he had seen Brick was precisely two days before the world had ended. According to Buttercup, Bubbles had been gone for almost just as long, and Blossom had left three months into it all. She had been following some lead regarding the whereabouts of their sister, and supposedly, the apparent start to all of this madness. That, of course, had been almost four years ago.

Buttercup had wanted to go with Blossom; Butch knew first-hand how she still cried about it. But Blossom had said someone had needed to stay back—to keep what was left of the City safe. Buttercup had always been one of the best superheroes back in the day, so Butch understood why Blossom had made her stay behind. He didn't think Buttercup knew that, though, that people—that Blossom—had considered her one of the best.

Now, Buttercup was just another martyr on the ever-growing list. So, he supposed, her never knowing didn't really matter anymore.

"Tough my ass!" He yelled at the sky, sneering instead of crying because it was the easier thing to do, "Of course, you'd die! Of course, just to specifically piss me off!"

He fell onto his back and stared up at the blinding sun. It was now near noon. He could hear the creatures—the demonic things that stalked and hunted from the shadows—skittering about watching him. They didn't go where the sun touched; nightmares did their best work when it was dark out.

For a moment, Butch did little more than bask in the sunlight, watching almost numbly as a lazy cloud trekked its way across the sky. The moment it reached the sun, he would only have two options. The first was two-part: fight and run. The second choice was death. And the second choice was far more tempting.

The sun was coming out less and less now that the days were growing shorter. Even before the creatures had begun stalking the City, Butch had always thought winter was the most brutal season to get through. He wasn't big on the cold. However, winter was now more dangerous than it ever had been before, and if he didn't get back to the stronghold soon, the gaggle of survivors that made up what remained of Townsville would be dead within the week. It wasn't like Ima could keep handling the Night Patrol units by herself, especially with Princess still in the infirmary. If both he and Buttercup died today, Bellum would have her work cut out for her—figuring this one out.

But what was the point? Really, honestly? They were all dead anyway. So, what did it matter? It wasn't like the only thing he was living for would ever happen. He already knew he'd never see his brothers alive again. It was a fool's dream to think otherwise. No one had caught wind of Boomer anywhere. His baby brother had just seemingly disappeared. And it had been so long since Butch had last seen Brick, he wasn't sure he could even remember his brother's voice outside of nightmares.

Not for the first time, grief gripped his heart and he found himself mourning. He couldn't quit his brothers no matter how hard he tried, no matter how often he tossed their things away and tried to bury the sound of their laughter in some metaphorical grave deep in the recesses of his mind. Now, Butch could only see Brick in his mind—how wide his smile got when he laughed, how freckles covered him head to toe, how fucking smart he was, and how fucking dumb Butch had been all those years ago taking it all for granted.

The last thing Butch had ever said to his older brother was to go fuck himself. They had been fighting over the grocery list—Butch had forgotten the milk.

The fucking milk.

If he had just remembered the milk then—

His throat tightened unbearably, and again, he swallowed past the sobs, squeezing his eyes shut.

'They're not dead,' the Buttercup living inside his head chided, rolling her eyes, 'Are you thick or something? How many times do I have to this clear to you?'

He gritted his teeth, grinding them together as he tried his best to ignore her. He didn't want another ghost haunting him, especially hers.

'I believe in them, Butch, I believe in my sisters more than anything else in this world,' Ghost-Buttercup continued, 'They're alive. They'll be back.'

You don't know that, he thought, you really don't.

'Blossom promised.' Her voice echoed inside his head, something the real Buttercup had told him time and time again, 'Blossom doesn't break promises.'

Promises don't mean anything, he argued back, not anymore.

'Always put your money on Blossom, Butch, trust me.'

"You're dead." He told her ghost rather bluntly out loud as the world beyond his eyelids went dark, the cloud finally devouring the light of the sun, "You're gone."

"Butch?" Buttercup asked, and his eyes snapped open, "Who's gone?"

He stared up at her, mesmerized as she knelt above him, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear. It was always falling loose from her stubby little ponytail, that dumb strand of hair; he dreamt about it.

"Buttercup?" He whispered.

She quirked an eyebrow at him, tilting her head ever so slightly to the left in question, "Yeah?"

He brought a shaky hand up to the cheek of her face, cupping it and ignoring how the temperature of her skin made him shiver. Then, quickly, he propped himself up on his elbow before fully sitting up so he could cup her whole face between his hands—her wonderful, beautiful, very alive face.

"You're not dead," He continued to whisper, still stunned—she was perfect. A vision.

Buttercup smiled, revealing the slight gap in her front teeth, "It takes a bit more than a few shadow freaks to kill me."

"You're not dead." He repeated, at a loss for words before the reality of the situation settled into his heart, and he swore he could have died right then and there, happy and content. "You're not dead! You piece of shit," He laughed, removing his hands from her cold face, so he could encircle them around her neck and bring her into a bone-crushing hug, "you scared the hell out of me."

She laughed, her breath tickling his ears as she returned the hug, wrapping her arms around him, "I'm okay!"

There was an odd tickle in his stomach, and he could feel the palms of his hands start to sweat, but he attributed it to the close proximity. He could count on one hand how many times he had hugged Buttercup in his life, and each time had left him more flustered than the last.

"Yeah," He agreed, heartbeat in his ears as he squeezed tighter, holding onto her like she'd disappear if he ever let go, "I thought you were dead."

"I'm not," She hummed after a long moment.

He broke out into a grin, agreeing quickly and hoping she wouldn't notice the tears of relief slipping down his face, "You're not."

"But you are, though." She said rather matter-of-factly, "You're dead."

His eyes fluttered open as he let go of her ever-so-slightly, "What?"

"Butch!" He heard someone scream, and he snapped his head to the left, following the sound, but Buttercup pulled his face back and locked her eyes with his.

"I said," Buttercup smiled—but now that he was looking, like really looking, it wasn't Buttercup, was it? Her voice wasn't quite right, and her smile was just a little too broad—and cupped his cheek, "I'm not dead, you are."

The nervous fluttering in his gut grew tenfold as black spots started taking over his vision. Butch tried shaking them away as he looked down at his stomach, his arms dropping on their own from around her neck. He swallowed, choking slightly on thick salvia mixed with blood, as he watched an impossibly long and bulky knife-like claw lodge itself firmly into his gut. The claw twisted around inside his body until the nail finally broke all the way through him, breaking through the skin of his back. Then, slowly, the claw began to pull out. With wide eyes, his head lulled up to meet Buttercup's stare once more.

Where bright, wonderful green eyes had just been, two ink-black eye sockets stared back. The stare was emotionless, but the corners of its mouth—whatever it was—was stretched out into a wide and grotesque smile with two pus-infected industrial staples keeping the corners of the smile permanently high up its face. It was almost cartoonish in style, but vaguely, it reminded Butch of HIM, how the demon's mouth would stretch up to its eyes when it was amused (or hungry).

The nightmare in front of him brought the blood-slick elongated claw up to its mouth, and a black tongue slithered out, wrapping its way around the nail. The blood that wasn't licked off dribbled down the creature's arm, where the black of its clawed hands gave way to the blistering and white skin of its arms. The creature sucked and licked contently, and with sick fascination (because he had never seen one of these things so up close before), Butch watched.

It had no nose or ears and only small tufts of hair covered its head. And it was horrible to look at, but Butch couldn't look away. Every inch of its large, awkwardly proportioned body was covered in peeling and blistered skin like it was suffering from a 3rd degree sunburn. When it noticed him watching, its' smile grew, irritating one of the staples that kept the corner of its mouth up, and Butch watched as pus began to ooze out of the wound.

"Butch," It cooed at him, "Oh, Butch!"

"Butch!" There was another scream, "I'm coming! Just hold on! Butch!"

"Buttercup lovesss you!" It giggled, "Oh yes, I doooo!"

Even though he absolutely knew that the thing in front of him wasn't at all his Buttercup (she was dead, he could remember that now), his traitorous heart still jumped at the admission. Or maybe, he was just dying. He couldn't tell. The last time he had died, he had just blown up. This was different altogether; it was like the Chemical-X in his body was frozen, unable to heal what was broken—it was just so cold all of a sudden. Where had the sun gone?

Butch's vision became darker and darker as the world around him swam. He slouched to the side, leaning onto his elbow, and tried to find his breath, barely responding to the sticky claw that tapped sharply against his cheek.

"Buttercup lovveesss you." The creature continued to coo as it began to push its' nail into the skin of his temple, "I lovvee you!"

"Hey, asshole—" There was a voice behind them as clear as day.

Startled, the creature looked over its shoulder with a hiss as Butch struggled to keep his eyes open. The figure was a tall green blob wearing a black hat, but Butch couldn't discern anything more. He was having a hard enough time remembering where his own feet were. Whoever the figure was, they snatched up the creature in front of him, grabbing it by its head like a bowling ball and holding its face up to the sky.

"—the sun's coming out." The green figure hissed, finishing their sentence, as the cloud from before finally moved away from the sun, continuing its lazy trek across the sky. The creature in the figure's grasp flailed about for a moment before it erupted into a high-pitched scream. The blistering on its' skin increased, bubbling as if the creature was being boiled alive.

Butch collapsed into a heap on the ground, too tired to support his own weight as he watched the creature's body bubble into a final convulsion. The gut of it exploded, a black substance spraying out, but the figure didn't seem interested in that as they chucked the monster's corpse far away and dropped to their knees in front of him.

"Butch!" They gasped, "Oh—Butch! I thought you were—shit, oh no, no, you're bleeding out! I—I need to get you to the Professor!" The figure in green, who smelt of sweat, blood, and something incredibly familiar and warm, scooped him up off the ground with a strength he had never thought a human could possess.

"Just stay with me, okay?" The figure pressed their foreheads together, their voice cracking, "Don't go just yet. I've got you now, okay? I'll protect you, I promise."

He tried answering, but his tongue was like cotton in his mouth.

"You're not dead yet," The figure whispered with a mouth pressed to the crown of his head, "we're not dead yet."

Help Me! I Love You! (HC)

Fandom: Twisted Wonderland

Pairing: Idia, Leona, Malleus, Sebek, Octavinelle, Ace, Rook, Kalim with gn!Reader

Warning: None

Prompt: You yell at him that you love him.

———————————————

Prologue:

You ran into his room, flung open the door, and yelled, “HELP ME! I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU.”

———

Jade was startled, but he quickly composed himself and smiled. “I appreciate your sweet words.”

“Um…is there something you want to say back to me?”

“Ah, yes, there is something I wish to confess.” A gentle smile appeared on his lips, “I am a bit busy at the current moment. Could you return after an hour? I should be able to help with your situation.”

Your jaw dropped as a cloud of disappointment appeared above your head. “I see… excuse me.”

Jade laughed, and while he didn’t mean to tease you, he couldn’t help himself. After all, your tease-able personality was one of the reasons he fell for you.

Hearing you yell the words “help me” made Azul think you were in danger. He rose to his feet, walked to the door, and took a peek outside. “Are you alright? Is someone chasing you? Please say that you and Floyd did not get into another argument.”

“Azul, I’m okay.”

“He looked at you with confusion, “Did you not ask for my assistance?”

“I did. Did you didn’t hear the second half, did you?” When he shook his head, you chuckled and repeated your words slowly, “I love you.”

Azul’s face changed colors, but a rare soft smile crawled onto his lips, “Is this what people refer to as true happiness? Thank you, (y/n). I…I l-love you too...”

“What did you say, shrimpy?” His expressions suddenly turned dark as he started walking closer to you.

“I…s-said…I love you.”

For a few seconds, Floyd stared at you with a scary expression, but then, a big smile danced on his lips.

“Eh? You’re serious, shrimpy?” The tall eel lifted you by the waist and gave you a death hug. “I love you too!”

“F-Floyd…c-can’t bre-breathe.”

He laughed and set you back down on the ground. “Sorry, shrimpy, didn’t mean to hurt you. I’m so used to constricting people, y’know? I’ll learn to give proper hugs…eventually.”

Idia yelped and backed away on his bed until his back was flat against the wall. “Was that your attempt at a KO?”

After taking a few deep breaths, Idia looked at you blankly; he stared at you while you stared back.

“W-What did you just say!?” His hair changed into pink flames, and the intensity of the fire increased.

“Idia? Idia? Wait…did he pass out?”

When you stepped closer, you saw him motionless on his bed with a toothy grin on his face.

“Cherie! How long have I awaited this day,” Rook got up from his bed and dramatically pressed his palm against his chest. “Your words are sweeter than honey, non, they are truly poetic!”

“Ro-“

Rook was too caught up in the moment and continued his monologue, “I cannot express my happiness in words. Shall I show my love with a dance? Shall I kiss you? Will a simple I love you too work?”

“Yes.”

He once again didn’t hear you and continued talking. “I shall announce to the world that you have professed your love for me. I shall tell each student and teacher.”

“Please don’t…”

“Then I shall tell Vil and Epel…”

Seeing that Rook had no plans of stopping, you closed his door and walked away. Maybe now was not the right time to talk to him.

Leona didn’t turn around, nor did he sit up on his bed, but his ears twitched at hearing your confession.

“I know you heard that…so don’t even pretend to be napping.”

“Pipe down, herbivore,” he sleepily mumbles. “Let me sleep.”

Exhaling loudly, you slammed the door to his room and stomped away, disappointed with his response.

Leona chuckled to himself as he closed his eyes. “I love you too, (y/n).” Even after he went back to sleep, his tail didn’t stop happily swooshing.

Malleus stared at you with wide eyes, but his lips slowly stretched into a smile. “You have become quite bold, Child of Man.”

“Wait, that’s all you have to say?”

“What else would you like me to say?” He smirked, teasing you. “Come closer, (y/n). If you wish for me to express my feelings for you, I suggest you confess in a proper manner.”

Proper…manner? What do you mean?”

The dragon chuckled and held his hand out to you, “I would like a kiss.”

Sebek’s reflexively pulled his weapon out and pointed it at you, but after seeing your frightened expressions, he lowered it and yelled. “Ningen! What is wrong with you!?”

With that, he proceeded to lecture you about the dangers of entering someone’s room, yelling, and not having proper manners. “Now, for what reason did you come here?”

“I love you.”

Sebek’s eyebrows furrowed, his eyes widened, and his lips quivered. Never had you seen him looking this nervous, and the more you stared, the redder his cheeks got. “Wow, Sebek…who knew you could look so cute!”

He was speechless, and even after you left, Sebek stood in place with that expression for a very VERY long time. Maybe once his brain stops lagging, he will reply to your confession.

Ace sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, “Are ya tryin’ to make my heart fail?” Also, I know. I love you too. Wanna go on a date this weekend?”

“S-Sure.”

“Cool,” Ace grinned.

“So that’s all it took?”

“Yeah?” The two of you stared at each other until you broke the silence. “Then, I’ll see you think weekend.”

“Yeah.”

You awkwardly closed his bedroom door - for some reason, you were expecting more drama.

“You love me?” Kalim flashed an ear-to-ear grin, “I love you too! I also love Jamil, my siblings, my parents, all the students in the dorm-“

“No, no, Kalim, I love love you.”

“And I love love you, Jamil, my siblings-“

You exhaled loudly and interrupted him again, “Kalim!”

“Yeah?”

“Never mind…,” you pouted and closed the door to his before walking away.

“(Y/n)?” Kalim tilted his head and continued looking at the door in confusion. “Was it something I said?”

[dazedbypark]

before we get too old | jjk

Pairing : Jungkook × Reader

Genre : Break-up! au, Angst

Summary : It's a friday night; a night that's different from most you have spent. But you know that decisions have to be made and so, you turn the knob to the door of your shared apartment. Still not ready to leave him behind.

Warnings : Mentions of illness, disagreement, poor attempt at changing writing style

Word Count : 1.4k

Author's Note : This is actually the first part of a oneshot that I'm working on. Realizing that I didn't have much time, I finally decided to post this as a drabble first (though I still wish to post this as a oneshot). Also, please forgive my miserable attempt at changing my writing style.

This drabble is based on 55th prompt in the fluff section (*oops) of the event Seasonal Blues held by @houseofincantations. A side note - I love the song.

A special thanks to Rei a.k.a. @ggukseoulcafe for making the banner with so much enthusiasm. Ily🤧 It's really pretty✨

It is a Friday night.

If it had been your usual Friday night, you would have been out on a date. Maybe hanging out with friends. You certainly wouldn't be here; hands lingering on the door knob of your shared apartment, contemplating whether you should do this or not. Whether this is the right decision or not.

The cold metal that is in contact with your skin doesn't allow your thoughts to drift away. The harsh coldness of it is reminding you what has to be done and what you will have to face. It is constantly rubbing on your face the decisions you have no choice in.

You have to do it, sooner or later.

Nothing ever lasts, you know that very well. But you don't want the end to be today. You want to hold onto this - your relationship, all that it is, for a little longer. You need him.

But you can't not do this either. If you don't, you know you won't ever be able to forgive yourself even if he does. You have to leave him.

Taking a deep breath and deeply sighing, you finally turn the knob. The slow creaking of it resounds in the empty air; in the silence that's the only thing that this night has to offer.

Taking a step into your apartment, you frown. There are no lights on in the living room. It's strange since he is always quite freaky about keeping the lights on. You proceed to hang your coat onto the hooks on the wall and then, shuffle towards his room.

The absence of the blaring sound of music flooding through the walls and doors of his room is the second thing that strikes you as strange.

This isn't like him. Lights all off and no music. No, this definitely isn't like him.

Alarmed, you open the door in a frenzy, not bothering to knock.

His voice that should have fallen on your ears by now, saying that you should learn your manners, is absent. His face should have then turned towards you, grinning with his boyish smile. That's absent too. The way he would pat his bed, motioning you to take a seat beside him, is absent.

Your eyes then land on his form on the bed. He's crouched up, one hand hugging his knees. His lids are half-closed as he emptily stares at something. You follow his trail of gaze and freeze.

You don't know how you forgot to keep them in your shelf. You hadn't meant for him to find out this way.

What he has in his other hand is a flight ticket. The moon's light that's casting a glow on it makes it harder for you to ignore them. To convince yourself that this is not happening. That this is just a trick your mind is playing on you.

"Jungkook."

You see him slowly lift his head off the pillow. As if the action pains him. You don't fail to notice his damp cheeks, nor his defeated eyes. It kills you to know that you have hurt him. And that you are going to hurt him once again.

His eyes lock with yours. He grips your wrist and pulls you onto the bed. The strong impact of landing doesn't affect you much. Not as much as the sight of Jungkook before your eyes does.

He pulls you closer, and you bury your head into the crook of his neck. You breathe him in. And that's when your composure breaks. The tears come quite easily. Like they have been waiting to be flowed out. You try to mute the occasional gasps that escape your lips.

You do not know for how much time you cry. You only know Jungkook's arms and legs tangled with yours. You only know how Jungkook firmly holds you when you're falling apart.

"Y/n, I'll come with you. You know that I will, wherever you go." His voice doesn't waver at all.

"Jungkook." You part from the embrace and look at him in the eye. The lost contact engulfs your body in coldness. "You can't." Your voice cracks and tears start to haze your vision of him, once again.

His eyes frantically flit over your face. "Why can't I, Y/n? You can't just make decisions for me."

"It's for the best, Jungkook." You look away from him, not able to face him any longer. "You can't just abandon your life here. And most definitely not for me. I am only a fragment of your life, Jungkook." Your fists clench at your sides.

He doesn't understand how stupid a decision that would be. He doesn't understand and it angers you. It angers you that he doesn't understand. It angers you that he can't be with you. It angers you that you'll have to leave this city. It angers you that you'll have to leave him behind. It all angers you so much.

"I'm not doing that, Y/n. I can pursue my further education in your town. With you. There are enough colleges there." He breathes hard.

"Those aren't good, and you know that. My town isn't big enough for your dreams, Jungkook. You have a lot to do." Your voice is barely above a whisper now.

"What if I don't care?" His shoulders slump.

"You have to. For yourself, you need to. I don't want to the reason of why you couldn't follow your dreams, Kook."

"You wouldn't. You only fuel mine. Always have, always will."

It's his stubbornness. It's how stubborn like a stone he stands by your side. He steadies you and your wavering determination. He's always there. There to catch you if you ever fall. There to lend you his shoulder to cry upon. There to offer his hands to hold on to.

"You can't. It doesn't matter. I don't matter. I'm going to leave soon, anyway."

"But Y/n, I love you."

The tears start rushing down your cheeks once again.

It's the way Jungkook loves that you love so much about him.

"It doesn't matter anymore! Why don't you understand that!?" You shout at him. Your tone is accusatory, as if it's all happening because of him. You can't help it, though. You can't help the helplessness that's so obvious in every action that you do because that's all you feel right now. Helplessness.

"So you think that all the memories we made, all the love we have for each other, it doesn't matter?" He stares into your eyes.

You look away. "It doesn't."

"Look at me in the eye and say that, Y/n. Say that you don't care about what will happen to us. Say that you won't love me anymore." He grabs your wrist, and cupping your cheek, turns your face to him.

Your gaze drops, not being able to bear to look at his face. His beautiful face.

He pulls you into an embrace and burrows his head in the crook of your neck. "You do, Y/n. You know that." You feel his voice vibrating all over your body. His warm breath that fans the skin of your neck calms you down.

You wonder why he still lets you indulge in his warmth. You wonder why he is still holding you when he should be out of the apartment, cursing you at some bar.

"Stay like this for some time. Let me hold you for once." Despite all that you just said, his voice is still comforting.

He slowly lowers you both onto the bed once again. You give in. Your body once again hits the mattress.

"Lay with me and just forget the world for a while."

And you do. You allow yourself to forget all that tomorrow will bring, you allow yourself to forget your responsibilities. You allow yourself to forget that your only mother is ill in your hometown, and you allow yourself to forget that you'll have to leave this town tomorrow. You allow yourself to forget that you'll leave Jungkook tomorrow.

You melt into the embrace. You melt into him. You melt into his fresh laundry-like and soapy smell. You melt into his body that's so warm. You melt into all that Jungkook is.

Pulling back, you let your eyes wander all over his face, taking him in. His mole beneath his lips. Lips that are so soft to kiss. The slope of his nose and his eyes. His beautiful eyes. The ones that never fail to give you courage and the ones that you have found your home in.

"Jungkook, I'm sorry. I love you." You let your head fall onto his chest once again and breathe him once last time.

Carry with warriors and fierce deity please

[ CARRY ]:     the sender pulls an emotionally/physically exhausted receiver into an embrace, then lifts them off their feet and carries them to a sofa/bed to let them lie down and get some rest.

The kid is too damn young to be using masks. Certainly not ones that turn him into an adult war god. The way he screams when the mask fuses to his face…Warriors is going to have nightmares about it for years. 

He can’t deny that the Fierce Deity is helpful in battle though, even if his methods are…mostly mass destruction. The captain approaches every situation with caution and a healthy dose of politeness. A more submissive position wouldn’t go amiss.

The deity rarely changes expression, simply staring with glowing eyes when Warriors talks. He likes to think he has an understanding with him, if not a camradre. They’ve fought side by side in enough battles; that has to count for something, right?

Warriors is careful never to show weakness around Fierce, though. Weakness is something to stamp out and the help he provides is tenuous at best.

Not showing weakness is turning into a full time job at the moment. Coming out of battle, Warriors is exhausted and limping, although he tries to hide it. There’s a cut on his thigh that bled and now the fabric of his pants pulls at the wound with each step. 

The deity strides next to him, face impassive. He doesn’t look at the bodies they step around; Warriors is unsure if they even register for him. 

Unfortunately, the battlefield is not a place for an easy stroll. The captain’s foot catches on a discarded piece of armor and he goes down on one knee with a grunt. It takes a long second to push himself back up again and wipe away the pain of the wound.

Fierce turns one glowing eye on him. “Are you well?”

Warriors nods; teeth grit against the pain and strides on. The deity slows his pace, or maybe he’s the one slowing them down. Navigating the ground seems to be getting harder with each step. Pain lances through his leg. 

The deity comes to a stop. “You are injured.”

“Ah–just a cut on my leg. I’ll be good as knew in no time.”

“It pains you.”

Warriors runs through a variety of unsavory comebacks but keeps them all bottled up. “I’ll be fine. Once we are off the battlefield you can give Mask back. I’ll make sure he gets some rest.”

“Hmm.” Fierce doesn’t follow when the captain pushes forward, just stands and watches. 

Finally, Warriors stops and turns. “Is there something I can assist you with, Fierce Deity?” Even grouchy with pain and tired beyond belief, he lets none of it bleed into his words. 

Stepping up to him, Fierce reaches out and abruptly pushes his shoulder. Not expecting the motion and overbalancing, Warriors let protests vehemently and goes limp beneath him.

Instead of landing in the grime off the battlefield, his weight is cushioned in a strong grip. Fierce Deity is holding him in almost…a hug. Or as close as a war god can get. 

Before the captain can push away and apologize, Fierce scoops him into his arms, one arm supporting his back and the other under his knees.

Warriors squeaks, although he’ll never admit it.

“I shall return the child once we’ve reached the healer’s tent.”

The captain is left in confused silence as Fierce carries him off the battlefield and into the healer’s tent. From there, he’s deposited on an empty bed. Glowing eyes meet his. “Rest, Captain. I will see you soon.”

Warriors is still speechless as the deity vanishes back into the mask.

Till you go Blind

Thank you!!

words: 1025

warnings: Smut, 18+, overstimulation, oral, orgasm control

Masterlist

You groaned, picking up a dirty sock from the floor once again. “Chris, I swear to god, the basket is so fucking close...” you groan from across the house at him. 

He comes through the door behind you, hands going around your waist in a hug as he deflects, “hey, hey, hey baby. I thought you liked knowing I needed you to help me pick up my socks. I’m sorry,” he joked, kissing your ear through your hair. 

You pulled away from him, eyes narrowing on him as you decided your next course of action. “Oh yeah? Well if you don’t start picking them up, then no sex,” you shrugged, knowing that would stop him dead in his tracks. 

He laughed, thinking you were joking as you stared at him with a deadpan expression on your face. “Bubba, I’m serious, the sock was literally not even a foot away from the basket, and where’s the other one? Oh, look, it is in the basket,” you said, half exaggerating to make it a joke. 

He narrowed his eyes at you, not fully listening to what you were saying as he began walking closer slowly, “What did you just say?”

You sighed, waiting for a cheesy joke or for him to completely own up to not listening. “You heard me. The sock was so clos-”

“No, no, before that?” 

You thought back to your conversation as his hands found your hips. “I think it was, if the socks don’t make it in the basket then no sex?” 

“Yeah, that’s the one,” he said, picking you up and throwing you over his shoulder. He left the bathroom you two stood in, and carried you to the bedroom, hand leaving smacks on your ass with every other step. 

He closed the door behind him and laid you on the bed, eyes dark with nothing but lust. “Just for that, I’m gonna suck your clit until you go blind.”

Your eyes widened at the threat, knowing coming from Chris, it would not go empty...He always fulfilled his promises. He pulled your clothes off, leaving you naked and breathing heavily with the sheer thought of what was to come. 

He pushed you back, legs leaning off the bed as he lowered himself between them. He wasted no time, not taking the time to allow you to enjoy a little teasing, he wrapped his lips around your bud, eyes glued to your face. 

You gasped, hips bucking involuntarily against his face, causing his beard to rub on your inner thighs, which only heightened the sensation. Chris was relentless. He didn’t falter at all, his cheeks hollowed as he sucked and licked at your clit, a finger teasing your folds. He brought his free hand up to your breasts and began toying with them, pinching your nipples, pulling your nipples, even slipping a finger into your folds to bring the wetness up to your nipples. 

He inserted a digit into your cunt, feeling the muscles contract against him so he took it out, focusing solely on your clit. He lapped at it feverishly, teeth lightly pulling against it as your back arched and you came for the first time that night. 

Smirking, he hummed against your pussy, licking up your sweetness before kissing your inner thighs, purposefully rubbing his cheeks dangerously close to your cunt. “One,” he whispered before he went back down, wrapping his now swollen lips to your clit. Your hand flew to his head, pulling his hair lightly as he continued ravaging your clit as he just had. 

“Fuck! Chris!” you groaned as your body began to jerk against him. You felt him smirk at the involuntary movements, your screams egging him on. 

He wrapped his arms around your thighs, closing them in on his face so his beard was rubbing against your thighs as his lips, teeth, and tongue left no mercy for your sensitive bundle of nerves. 

With his hands both grasping your breasts, fingers rolling your nubs between them, you felt your second orgasm rise. Your breath left you, hips bucking against his lips as they left your clit and went to the opening of your cunt, lapping at your juices as they came out. 

He hummed as he licked a bold stripe up your core and muttered against you, “two.” 

“Chris, please,” you whined as his face leveled with your chest, tongue reaching out to lick the nubs on your chest, teeth grazing them as he looked up and made eye contact with you. 

“Baby, are you blind?”

You pouted, knowing daddy Chris would never leave a promise unfulfilled, “no,” you said softly. You ducked your head down, lips trying to envelope Chris’ into a loving kiss in hopes to soften his demeanor. 

He pulled away from you, hand going back to your clit to rub circles on it. Your body jerked away from him, so sensitive it almost hurt. “You’ve got one more in you baby, I know you can do it,” he cooed as a hand pet the side of your face gently. 

His face went back to your core, lips wrapping around your oh-so-sensitive bud as he licked and sucked lightly. He abandoned his teeth and pulling on the bud, as he knew it would be too harsh.

His demeanor shifted to a nicer, softer touch; nonetheless, there were still tears beginning to fall from your face as his hand wrapped around your throat, applying pressure to the sides.

Your body was in overdrive, feeling every wave of euphoria washing over your body as your felt his tongue flick your clit. For the third time that night, your body broke into a warm white hot release: back bending, toes curling, eye sight going splotchy, hand pushing desperately against Chris’ head in an attempt to push him away.

Chris smirked down at you, face coated in slick and arousal as he moved the stray hairs out of your face. “So fucking beautiful, baby. I knew you could do it.”

You sighed, evening out your breathing as your legs remained shaking. He kissed you softly, standing up to carry you to the bathroom. “Let’s have a bath, now, yeah?”

[boozye]

Diavolo is absolutely my favorite, so I figured what the hell. I'll write a little of this prompt and then probably delete it when I get bored, but uh. UH. Hope you enjoy? 😅

Diavolo had gone into the exchange program with a loose understanding that one of their members would be impossibly younger, and would only last for less than a century. He considered it a boon at first, it meant that if there were any problems with you that he couldn't fix, the impact of those problems wouldn't last for more than a century.

He was wrong. He'll admit that, even if Barbatos won't. Diavolo knows he was wrong, but he can fix his mistake. With all the power in the world, of course he can fix you. He can look into the period when Solomon realized his immortality, or speak to the reaper, or collect a number of spells meant to increase one's lifespan. He'll find something.

He can't spend these talks over tea with you, or the dates to AkuDonald's with you, or the smaller accidental greetings in the halls with you. At first they filled his world with something new and exciting that put a glow in his chest, but they don't do that when he knows.

It's fine. It's fine because he'll fix you, and then he can be happy with you again, and this time for as long as he wants.

And he will find it, too. He finds what he needs to fix you, and builds it into an appetizing meal just for you. Something small, a fruit. An apple. Just for you.

Diavolo gives it to you and waits for you to take a bite. It's shiny and a gorgeous bright red, the outside is crisp, and he thinks he can't wait to hear the skin break off as you seal away your mortality and become something better.

He waits, expectantly, and yet again you amaze him, bringing something new into his life he would never expect.

Why do you have to do it in such a way that he wants to tear his own heart out, and not put it back in until it stops hurting?

He's silent, frowning as his eyebrows turn down. He's not happy. Is he supposed to feel that way?

What is he supposed to feel, then? What is he supposed to do at all? You shouldn't have said no. You weren't supposed to say no.

"But I don't want to lose you." He tries, hopeful. You shake your head, firm.

"Nobody wants to lose you. You could do so much for the three realms." You shake your head again, and he can't stop his heart from aching, or the ball rising in his throat.

This hasn't happened before, not ever. What is he supposed to feel? What should he do? How can he possibly hope to cope with knowing you won't last?

How can he swallow a pill so much bigger than he's ever been?

His face twists into something ugly, as ugly as the thoughts running through his head. He doesn't know what he should do, but he knows what he wants to do. He wants to grab you, and push a piece of this apple down. He wants to hold you in place so that he never has to let go. If he can't do that, then he wants to burn away with you. Anything that would ease this pain, he wants to do.

But you wouldn't like that, would you? He doesn't want to hurt you. No, he doesn't want to force you. Not like he has in the past.

With Barbatos, he could convince himself he was happy at his side. Now, at least, he seems to be. He never voiced complaints, but his eyes were so much brighter before he served Diavolo, weren't they? He can't remember.

And who is he, to fool himself about how Lucifer felt. It made sense at the time, it felt good to have someone new and interesting he could keep next to him, but he couldn't help the guilt eating away at him anymore.

Diavolo didn't want to do it again.

Shaking, he slowly nodded his head. "You don't have to do anything you don't want to." He said, laughing before he continued. "You shouldn't have had to see me like this, I apologize."

He awkwardly hugged his stomach, a last ditch effort to comfort himself without using you as a tool to do it. "I need to think on some things, and I think I need to speak to a couple demons as well..."

He took a breath, and smiled, just a small smile. "You're a very interesting human. I hope to learn as much about you as I can, as much as you'll let me know. Thank you."

Code: Blanket (part 2)

Sanders Sides: Logan, Remus, Virgil, Janus, Patton Fic Type: Hurt/Comfort Prompt: “If you don’t know where to go, you can always come here.” with Anxceit? (platonic is 100% good for me) Blurb: A friendship doesn’t stop just because one person decides to act like a dick. Especially when said dick is obviously in trouble. Overall Fic Warnings: Homophobia talk, Neglectful/Abusive Parents implication, Capitol Riot references, Injuries Taglist in Reblog

Part 1

“Your son is sneaking out.”

If the weight of his husband settling on top of him in the bed hadn’t been enough to fully wake Logan from sleep, the gleeful tone of Remus’s voice in his ear and the words he spoke were certainly enough to do so.

He tilted his head to the side, squinting up at his husband’s shadowy figure looming over him, ignoring how his heart had jumped into his throat, leaving an aching cavity in his chest. “If our son is sneaking out after dark, Sir Night Owl.” He said, working to sound calmer than he actually felt. “Then that’s obviously your influence at work and your problem.”

Remus gave a low chuckle, kissing his cheek. “Lion Kinging me, Messire Early Bird? Fair enough. I accept.” He shifted to roll off the bed, only to pause as Logan grabbed his hand.

“Virgil’s never snuck out before.” He whispered, flinching as he heard the front door close. Why would his son feel the need to do--sure teenagers were known to be rebellious, but he’d been clear that Virgil could talk to him about anything, anytime. To have him just suddenly leave without a word to them, without any indication that anything was wrong--

Remus squeezed his hand. “I heard him say ‘The offer still stands, D.’ as he walked by our door, sooo~ secret relationship?”

Logan pushed up onto one elbow, breath catching. “You heard him say Dee?” He demanded. “You’re certain?” He hadn’t known the two were still in communication. The end of their lifelong friendship last year had been...volatile. Virgil had been miserable for months afterwards.

“Yes?” His husband tilted his head. “You know them?”

Logan nodded, rolling over so he could grab his glasses from the night stand. “So do you. It’s Janus. Son of the Daemons.”

Remus stiffened, hissing like a broken teapot. “What offer could Virgiepoo possibly make to that horrible family of--”

“They were childhood friends.” Logan interrupted his husband before he went off on yet another long winded swearing spree about the Daemons. “Janus didn’t always approve of his parents...antics.”

Remus snorted, pulling Logan to his feet. “Antics? Those Ultra Christian Karens on Manbaby Cheeto Horse Steroids nearly cost both of us our jobs because they couldn’t stand the thought of their son knowing two gay men.”

Logan smirked, shrugging on a robe, placing his phone in the pocket just in case Virgil called. “And how did that turn out? With them facing the best lawyer in the country?”

Remus leaned in for a kiss. “Not good.” He breathed against his lips.

“Exactly.”

“Soo…” Still clad in only his boxers, Remus entwined his fingers in Logan’s, pulling him out of their bedroom towards the front door. “Son of our Enemy. Virgil sneaking out in the middle of the night to see him. What exactly is this offer that he’s offering to the Villains who aimed to destroy our happily ever after?”

An offer that Logan had believed had been firmly taken off the table over a year ago. “Simply put. Sanctuary.”

Which begged the question. What had happened in the Daemon household to convince Virgil to offer their home, after everything the two families had gone through, to their son once more?

“Sanctuary.” Remus repeated like it was a foreign word. “To one of their spawn? Are you serious?”

Knowing how much of a giving and forgiving heart his son had? Logan pulled open the front door, unsurprised to see the two teens standing frozen on the porch.

He had good timing like that.

“Boys.” Logan greeted, attention drawn immediately to Janus as he tried to hide behind his son only to be stopped by Virgil’s tight grip on his arm.

Janus swallowed, a tremor visibly going through him as met Logan’s eyes. “Mr. L.” He whispered, the porchlight throwing his face, and therefore, the stark purple bruise and cuts by his eye into sharp relief.

Sanctuary. He could now totally understand why Virgil had chosen to reach out.

The crumpled state of the boy’s clothes, the mask -an unusual accessory for the known anti-masker, anti-vaxxer family- the greasy hair, all of the obvious signs of neglect, Logan mentally catalogued as he immediately reached out, drawing the boy closer to him. “Janus.” He breathed, hating how the boy flinched at his movement, how he trembled under his touch even as he leaned into Logan’s hand as he cupped the boy’s uninjured cheek. “What happened?”

“Well, I hope what’s happening is that we’re kidnapping the demon spawn for ranso--” Remus cut off, inhaling sharply as he too caught sight of the facial disfigurement. “Lo, lemme see that.” He demanded, gently pushing him to the side so he could take the boy’s chin into his hands, tilting his head this way and that in the porch light.

Virgil relaxed, even as Janus visibly tensed, trembling under Remus’s scrutiny.

For good reason. The young Daemon had to feel like he was stepping into the Lion’s den by coming here.

“It’s okay, Dee. Remus is a surgeon. The best. You’re in safe hands.” Virgil said softly, keeping a firm grip on his friend’s arm as the boy shifted his feet like he was debating about turning tail and running.

Something he’d never thought Janus would do. The boy took after his parents in being willing to face confrontation head on, no matter the odds.

Something definitely was wrong here.

“What happened?” Logan repeated, unable to hide the concern in his voice.

Janus’s eyes flickered between him and Remus, breath hitching as he opened his mouth. “I--I--”

Remus growled, eyes flashing as he turned to Logan, gesturing wildly with his free hand. “What happened?! He’s lucky the wound isn’t infected, Lo! It’s obvious it’s been untreated. Obvious that he’s been neglected, mistreated, abused!”

Janus flinched at every word. “Yes.” The word ghosted over his lips, barely heard.

Virgil shook his head, eyes burning with quiet fury. “It’s worse.” He slipped his phone out of his pocket, tapping on the screen and flipping it so Logan could see the tweet there. “His parents locked him in their unfinished attic for FOUR months, Dad. And then they left him to go harring off to D.C. to storm the Capitol!”

They…WHAT?!

Logan saw red as Remus swore, his husband pulling Janus into a tight hug, the boy letting out a startled squeak at the action. “I changed my mind, Lo. We’re not kidnapping him, we’re adopting. Surprise, my little rebel. You’re mine now.”

Janus’s eyes went wide, shimmering with unshed tears as he stood stiffly in Remus’s grip, fingers twitching. “Y-yours?” He whispered, in such a small voice that had Logan wrapping an arm around the boy’s shoulders as well. “I--I--but I’m---I’m--”

There’d been a time he’d considered Janus almost like a second son with how often he and Virgil had hung out at their house as kids. Logan wasn’t at all opposed to rediscovering that sentimeint.

“It doesn’t matter.” He whispered in the boy’s ear. “You have a home here, Janus, for as long as you need one.”

The boy shuddered in their hold, breath hitching as he bowed his head, not quite resting it against Remus’s bare chest. “I--I tried to---I couldn’t get out! I tried everything to bre--to break free and then they just….left me. Their SON. They--” He broke off as Remus pulled him closer, a soft sob escaping as his husband carded his fingers through the boy’s hair.

“It’s okay, Janny-boy.” Remus whispered. “You did what you could with what you had.”

Janus shook his head. “I--i should have---sooner. I couldn’t--I didn’t think they’d actually!! My own parents.”

Virgil pressed in on the group hug, gently freeing the face mask from the boy’s ear. “Dee. You couldn’t have known.”

“I SHOULD have though!” He growled, twisting his head to stare at Virgil, cheeks streaked with tears. “We’ve been friends for years, Annie! I KNOW you and Mr. L. and...and…but when things,” His eyes flickered to Remus and back. “Changed. The pandemic and everything---I didn’t...I sided with them and thought they had to be RIGHT this time, but then things...stuff happened and THEY LOCKED ME UP and treated me like I was A NUT CASE when I--I--” His voice dropped to a near whisper. “They wouldn’t listen to me.”

Logan exhaled, squeezing the boy’s shoulder as he met his husband’s furious eyes. “I’m sorry, Janus.” He said, keeping his tone soft. “Your parents have had their...good...qualities at times,”

Remus snorted, but kept silent as Logan shot him another look.

“And I know...they’ve only tried to protect you from their perceived evils in the world, but Janus.” He shifted his position so he could cradle the boy’s injured cheek. “What they did to you was wrong. So very wrong.” And bound to be worse when the whole story was told. “It’s monstrous that they chose to treat their own flesh and blood in such an abhorrent and inhumane manner just because you disagreed with them and I will not stand for it. You deserve better and you will be treated much better here than you have been there. I promise you that.”

Janus abruptly twisted in Remus’s arms to cling to Logan, resting his head against Logan’s chest, fingers digging into the folds of his robe, his thin body shaking with sobs. “Don’t make me go back.” He whispered.

Logan shook his head, pressing a firm kiss against the boy’s greasy hair. “Never.”

“I won’t let him.” Remus added, a growl in his voice. “I’ve adopted you, Jan. My word is law. No take backsies.”

Janus looked between the three of them, before focusing on Remus, licking his lips. “But. You...don’t know me--”

“You don’t know me either, kiddo. But no worries. We’ll fix all that.” His husband winked as he gathered both Virgil and Janus under each arm, letting Logan take a careful step back. “But FIRST.” He pointed a finger at the boy’s eye. “I’m getting you clean and stitched up while Logie here makes a little call to his Work Wife to figure things out. With luck, and I am rather lucky, there’ll barely be a scar when I’m done.”

Janus stiffened, glancing over his shoulder to Logan. “Work Wife?!”

Virgil chuckled, twisting Janus’s mask in his fingers. “Not an actual wife, Dee. Dad has a fellow lawyer friend.”

“Rival.” Logan corrected.

Virgil rolled his eyes. “Rival that he constantly works with, so Rem calls him his work wife since he’s usually either with him or us.”

That wasn’t exactly true. He did go to other places and work with other people that weren’t Patton or his family. It just so happened that Patton ended up involved in a lot of the same sort of cases as him and so collaboration made more sense than going it alone.

Logan pulled out his phone, scrolling through his contacts. “Needless to say. I’ll take care of it, Janus. You can trust me on that.” He smiled to the teen before turning his attention to his son. “Virgil, send me a copy of that tweet as soon as you can. And Remus,” He grimaced as his husband paused, raising an eyebrow. He could see him practically vibrating with the need to stitch the kid up now. “I know you want to treat Janus ASAP, but I need photographic evidence of every single injury and sign of neglect before you do anything.” An unfortunate delay, but he needed the evidence recorded before it vanished. He hit call, placing his phone by his ear. “As soon as you’re done--”

“It’s straight to the shower, JanJan. Or a long hot bubble bath. Either way.” Remus said, ushering the teens towards the door. “We need you to get squeaky clean while Lo here does his thing, and then I can treat those wounds of yours without them getting infected. Okay?”

“I--I---uh...Okay?” Janus asked, sounding half strangled as they vanished inside.

The phone clicked. “Hello?” A sleepy voice asked over the line.

Hopefully Virgil could smooth over any further confusion for Janus until Logan could come back and reign Remus back from going full Mama Bear on the boy. “Hello, Patton.” He said, leaning against the wall, listening as the crickets began chirping again. “It’s Logan.”

“Lo?” He could hear his fellow lawyer and work rival stifling a yawn. “Wassup?”

“My apologies for calling so late, but I need your help with a case. Right now. If you’re able.”

The silence on the other hand wasn’t at all encouraging. But then again. It was late.

“...My help? With a case? Now?”

“Yes.” He’d already said that. Hopefully Patton’s brain would kick into a higher gear sooner rather than later or else this conversation would be lasting ten times longer than necessary. “You remember the Daemons?”

“Mmm….yah? Your fight with them had you fired up for ages with all their nonsense.”

“Exactly.” Logan exhaled. “Their son, Janus, just showed up at my house in an obvious state of neglect. Injured. Possibly abused. More than implied that it was his parents who put him in his current state. And I am, unfortunately, too visibly involved with the Daemons in a negative light to be considered an adequate impartial representative for him, especially if I house him in my home for the duration.”

Patton made a noise of surprise. “House him?”

“Virgil was--is a friend of his and he offered him sanctuary here when he discovered that Janus was in trouble. I’m not refusing him a safe place.”

“Safe? You just said--”

Logan closed his eyes, resting his head against the side of his house. “I know. I’m not on good terms with his parents.” They could go rot in a tar pit for all he cared about them. “But I’ve known the boy since he was six, Patton. He’s been to my house multiple times before. Been friends with my son. I won’t hold a grudge against the child for the actions of his parents.”

“Ha. I doubt his parents would appr--”

“His so-called parents Locked. Him. In. Their. Attic. For. FOUR. Months.” Logan interrupted, unable to hide the fury in his voice.

Patton sharply inhaled. “They WHAT?”

Exactly. It was good to hear his work rival taking the same tone. Patton had a soft spot for kids. “They locked him up and then abandoned him, Pat. I don’t know the exact circumstances just yet on why they felt that this was justifiable behavior, but no child should be treated like a prisoner by their family and no so-called parent’s opinion on where or who their son stays with should hold any weight if they’ve failed to provide decent care for their child in the first place!” Logan took a breath, forcing himself to relax his fingers on his phone before he cracked the screen. “Regardless, if the boy wishes to go elsewhere I won’t fight it. But he needed a safe place to go to and he chose to come here. That has to mean something considering the history between our two families.”

“It--I’d have to look into it.” Patton whispered. “This isn’t--the circumstances--”

“Are abnormal. I understand.” Logan nodded, staring off into the night. “Will you come?”

Patton huffed a laugh. “It’s not every day--ah night--you say you need me, Lo.”

That was true. They were more often rivals in the courtroom than collaborators these days. But still, he wouldn’t want any other lawyer to represent the boy if he couldn’t do it himself. “I need you, Pat.”

The sound of keys jangled in his ear. “Be right there.” Patton promised as the line went dead.

taylor, i absolutely adore your little blurbs omg so i’m beyond excited!! 11 & 26 from the kiss prompt list with nathan mackinnon please!!

SHEEP KEYCHAINS

bre 🥺😭 i love you

11. "welcome home kisses" 26. "giggling while kissing" (from this prompt list)

nate was due home any time. he was on a roadie, and it was a short one, but somehow the short roadies always seemed longer.

so, as a way to distract your brain from how long it was taking, you were baking. it was something you did whenever you were stressed or anxious or just trying to distract yourself.

your cat, henry, was sitting at your feet looking up at you. whenever nate was gone, henry was there to comfort you and cuddle you. he was a very loyal cat.

you both heard the lock turning in the door and turned your heads to the door. you stopped what you were pouring and bolted to the door. nate looked up when he heard your footsteps, and smiled.

"hi." he flashed you a goofy smile.

you didn't say anything, only run into his arms. he caught you right as you jumped, "oof, i missed you too." he laughed, running a hand up and down your back as he pressed a kiss to your temple.

"i missed you. you can ask henry. he was a witness to my two mental breakdowns in the kitchen." you told him.

"oh, i'm sorry." nate pouted, pulling away so he could look you in the eyes.

"it's fine, nate. it's not your fault." you shook your head, pulling him back into a hug.

you stood there for a few more seconds, just taking in everything, "can i get a "welcome home" kiss?" he asked.

you laughed, pulling away and wrapping your arms around his neck and pressing your lips to his, "welcome home, baby."

he smiled back, "was henry good at comforting you?"

"yeah, he's the best. second to you, of course," you added, pulling him back in for another kiss.

"i got you something," nate announced, setting you down and grabbing his backpack.

"what'd you get?" you asked eagerly. of course, you never expected a gift, but when he did bring one back, you cherished them and held them close to your heart.

"i have a new keychain for your collection." he produced a small keychain from the front pocket of his backpack.

"nate." you smiled, examining it. when you were younger, you had started a keychain collection. your goal was to collect a keychain from every city in the us, and maybe canada since your boyfriend was canadian.

you had a pretty big collection, but it was still growing, "it's perfect." you beamed, wrapping your arms around his waist. he leaned down, pressing another kiss to your lips.

"i hope you like it. it was the only one i knew you'd like," he murmured.

"why?"

"it has a sheep on it, and i know you like sheep." you giggled, pressing a kiss to his cheek.

"thank you, nate."

"you're welcome."

A deal is a deal

Part 6

I waited in my room for a little while just scrolling on my phone and thinking about everything. "Hi" I hear called out from the door. I look up and Grace was standing there. She dressed in a men's jersey that hangs down like a dress on her. Her jean shorts barely even visible under them when she is standing still. "Come in babe" I tell her as I pat the bed next to me. She runs over and jumps up on the bed next to me. "So, How did it go?" She asks. "I think it went good. I got permission to move you in here with me..." I started to say but Grace cut me off right there tackling me with a hug. "Really. Yaaaa" she yelled. "ok, ok ,ok." I say as I'm pushing her back laughing. we sit back up and I tell her "remember, a deal is a deal. You move in and become my little sister but I'm responsible for you and you well behave, right?" she shakes her head yes as she bounces in place. "Ok. well I will start getting things moved during this week between classes and we will get you moved in asap ok?" I added. she agreed right away. Just then Kat got to the door, she's wearing a cropped jersey and some tight workout shorts. "Are you two ready to go. we are missing the games!" she complained. "Ya let's head out" I said as we stood up. I swatted Grace on the butt hurrying her out the door. We all walked out to the car and loaded in to start the drive.

We made our way down to the local sports spot. It's a small restaurant that has TVs all over so you can see the games from ever seat. The 3 of us walk in and get a table, we each look around to see which games are currently on and then grab our menus. Kat slaps her down, "I don't know why I'm even looking I'm getting my usual, A Margaret and some fries for now." she declared. I shake my head at her and laugh under my breath. Kat looked over at Grace "How about you sweetie, What do you want?" she asks as she leaned across the table and looked over the top side of her menu. "Umm I'm not sure yet. I'm looking around" Grace replied. I set mine down and looked up. Kat turned to me "Ok, spill it. What did Flora have to say?" she asked excitedly. I smiled a little at her and then replied "Well she gave me the go ahead to be an official Big sister to Gracie here, and We can do the room change to as long as everyone involved is ok with it. I already talked to Bre and she was good with the move since she's getting the single room up stairs that just opened up." Kat "Wait what? That's not fair!..." I cut her off right there. They offered the room to me first but since I asked for my little one to room with me I gave it to Bre so she would be ok with moving rooms." I said. Kat crossed her arms in frustration and Grace blushed at me calling her my little. "Oh do I have 2 little at the table?" I added. "Shut up!" Kat snapped back with a laugh. just then the waiter walked over to get our orders. Kat got her margarita and fries, I ordered a mimosa and cinnamon roll and then it was Graces turn. She was still blushing a little from before and wasn't speaking up. "Go ahead sweetie, Tell the nice lady what you want to eat." I prompt her. This only makes her blush some more. She pointed at the menu and I looked over and then told the waiter "she will have the nachos... and an OJ to drink for her to please." The waiter gathered the menu and left to go put the order in for us.

Kat laughed and looked at Grace "You really are a shy little one aren't you baby?" It took a moment and then Grace replied "Ya, around people I don't know yet expecilly. I grow up in a small town and was sheltered by my parents." "That's ok, that's what college is for. It's going to help get you used to meeting new people and everything. Besides you'll have Tiff and I here with you to make sure your ok from now on" Kat tells her. "Just like I told you before, your safe with us so you can relax and just enjoy yourself." I added. It was almost wired hearing Kat try and be nice. People always find her to be mean or sarcastic at the least. I know she doesn't mean those things it's just her personality and we have been friends since highschool so I'm more then used to her. " I'm going to go use the restroom before the food and drinks get here" I say to the table as I stand up. I turn and reach my hand out for Grace and pull her up with me and start walking her to the bathroom with me. she never said a word the whole way she just followed my lead. We reached the bathroom and I guided her to the first open stall with out even asking and then I stepped in to the next one. When we were done we both walked over to wash our hands. "Good job" I told her as we started to walk back to our table. She smiled at my praise for her.

We got back to the table and both sat down, with out missing a beat Kat jumped back in to our conversations "So what else did Flora say, the things you told us so far were what you wanted to ask her but she said she wanted to talk to you too. Soo spill the tea" Kat says. Grace look at my with big eyes herself to waiting for me to speak. I took a sip of my drink that was waiting for me and began to explain it. "Well it's kind of complicated, Next year both Flora and Jane graduate... So the house will need to elect a new president" I started. "Oh my God. your going to run the house momma's?" Grace shout out. I turn and give her an curious look as I noticed she called me momma's but I don't comment on it. "Well It's not for sure or anything. They said they think I could be a good fit and the house already looks up to me so that's good but they gave me some things to take charge of to see how it goes." I explain. "Ok so what did they give you to do?" Kat asks almost sceptical. "Well I have to take charge of the houses booth we set up at the Halloween party this year. So I have a week to figure that out and get it done and make it big for us" I let them know. "That's alot of pressure in a short time. We can make it happen we will help you, right Grace" Kat says. Grace nodded her head yes. "We will get the other girls in the house to help too." Grace adds. "The other thing they gave me is the grade checks... I have to make sure they are all turned in, review them and then determine the punishments that need to be given out." I say with a deep breath. Grace , sounding almost worried says "Isn't that when some gets get cane in front of the whole house?" Kat takes a big drink of her margarita and replied "Yes it is. So you better make sure your grades are good so Tiff doesn't need to pull down your cute panties and spank your bottom" Then she starts laughing. "I'm sure you'll be fine Gracie." I tell her.

The food makes it to the table and we each get are plate in front of us and start to prep are food to eat. Grace jumps right in and starts in on her nachos but with the first bite she dripped cheese on her jersey. She wines right away and puts her hands in up since they are covered with cheese already. I saw this and reached in to my purse and pulled out a small pack of baby wipes and pull one from the pack. I use that to clean off the cheese as best I could and then I grab a napkin from the table and tuck it in the collar of her jersey. " Go ahead sweetie, your fine" I tell her. as I set a few extra baby wipes from the pack on the table next to her for her hands as she eats. We all get quite for a little bit as we eat and watch the games on all the TVs.

We were finishing up are food when out of the corner of my eye I see some people come walking over to the table. I look up to see Colt standing there with 3 of his brothers. "Hi lady's. I saw you over here and wanted to check in and see how you were doing after the party the other night" He says. Kat looks at them and replied "We are ok no thanks to your dumb bro's" she says with her sarcastic tone. "I understand they were delt with and did all the chores Flora have them the follow day too." Colt tells us. "I hope there is no lasting damage and we can all put it behind us." he adds. "We are fine, Thank you again Colt" I say and add "You took good care of Grace for us." Kat reached out and ran her hand down the arm of one of the guys next too Colt and says "Who's going to take good care of me?" He looked down at her and smiled. "I'll take good care of you anytime" he says. "promises, promises" she laughed. Colt looks back to me. "How about you, Can I take you out for coffee or something to make it up to you?" he says. I was unsure what to say. After Flora told me he asked about me I figured this would happen sooner or later but I haven't made up my mind yet. I finally say "I'm not sure. I got alot going on right now with Classes and stuff at the house." I tell him. With out missing a beat He say "How about a bet. Your green bay plays my Tampa Bay today. If we win I get to take you out, If you win Me and the guys will help you with what ever you need at the house. Deal?" I thought about it for a minute, it would be nice to have the guys help with everything. There's going to be alot to set up for the Halloween party and moving all the stuff around in the rooms too... "Ok deal" I said as we shook hands. "Enjoy the game" Colt said with a wink as they walked towards the bar. He stopped at the waiter and told said something to her and then kept going. A minute later the waiter came over and she said "That gentleman at the bar just said he is going to cover the check and to get you what ever you want while your here." she tells us as she starts to grab empty plates and cups from the table. "In that case I'll have a second" Kat says as she points to her cup.

We spent more of the afternoon watching the games and with small talk. I obviously was more interested in the game now that there was something on the line. The game was coming to an end and it was very close. We were up by 3 right now and we had the ball. All we need to do is hold on. The clock is working it's way down and then it happened. My QB gets hit and gets pulled out of the game. Colt turned and looked back at me with a smile. The back up comes in and his first two plays were great, then on 4th and 1 we go for a run and the hand off is fumbled and Tampa gets it and runs it back 5 yards before going down. Now Colt is just staring at me with a grin like a Cheshire cat. We still lead and they have a long way to go with not much time to go. 1st play they pick up 3 yards, 2nd they get 5 yards. 3 play goes incomplete. it's 4th and 2, They are going for it. They set the play up for a short pass then it happens. The QB goes deep to a receiver that broke away from the pack in short yards. The defender right behind him. They jumped for the ball and Tampa comes down with it and stays on his feet but my team stumbled and went down. He's free to run it in and the games over I lost.

Colt wasted no time in walking back over, "I guess I get to take you out to coffee." He says. "Ya, a deal is a deal. I'll find a way to make time." I said. "I tell you what. We will still help you with anything you need. Just let us know. I'll message you later to set up a time for coffee, enjoy you drinks" he says as he winked and walked away. We finished up what we had and then I looked at the girls and said "Why don't we go over to the Halloween shop and take a look around. Maybe it will give us ideas for the party." They agree and we all get up. I take a moment to walk back over to Colt and let him know I was looking forward to coffee and thank him for picking up our tab. I head back over to the he girls and we head back to the car.

Chance Encounters

//Word Count: 2.2k

Warnings: none

Prompt(s): Sharing an umbrella

'Ah, there it is...' Spencer thought to himself, a slight smile tugging at his lips. That lilting voice that would seep through his apartment walls throughout the day. It was so light, peaceful.

Spencer paused for a moment and shut his eyes, his ear turned to the door to salvage each note, the book that he was reading lightly resting down on his lap. With each breath that rolled through his lungs, he further released himself, and sunk into his chair, his ear perched and alert, hanging on every note. This bodiless voice has been a treasure to him ever since he'd moved in; everyday, around noon, he would make his way out to the living room with a book on hand, and await the song that seems to soothe his qualms and aches.

There were times when he wished he had the courage to go and introduce himself to the woman behind this lovely voice, but those times would pass as he would think himself into spirals of doubt, and settle on leaving things as they are. This is merely a highlight to his daily life, no need to complicate it with personal introductions.

Lost in his thoughts, he'd missed the abrupt stop in her singing, a thump as the door snapped shut after her, and a latch click followed by a light tumble of steps down the hallway. His phone beeped soon after that, causing him to startle a bit before digging into his pocket.

Morgan: You coming tonight, pretty boy?

Spencer furrowed his brow, and tapped back,

Spencer: We had plans tonight?

Morgan: Yes, my cousin is performing in a show downtown. Don't tell me you forgot, I just told you yesterday

Spencer: Oh, right! yes! I will be there.

Morgan: Well hurry it up, the shows about to start.

Spencer: Right. On my way

Spencer then shut his phone then scrambled to gather his things; It's not often that he has the opportunity to see live theatre, so he jumps at any time that he can to experience it. He then strode across the room, stepped into his shoes and fled out of the door, hoping to make it on time.

...

Upon a dazzling stage, a woman's spine bowed to the will of her partner's hand, as her dress fluttered about the white stage light above them, her legs dipping and curling like the wind and her arm stretched beyond her hand, held in an elegant point. Spencer's heart sped with an inward breath of surprise, his eyes glued to the stage before him and fluttering with every movement.

Derek bumped Spencer's shoulder, a knowing smile rested on his lips, "You digging my cousin, poindexter?"

Spencer startled and flicked his eyes next to him for a moment, "Shut, up, I'm trying to pay attention," mumbled, skirting around answering his question, a sporting half smile.

Morgan chuckled, "Hey, it's cool, man," he righted himself in his seat, "I'll introduce you two after the show,"

A twitch of his lips, and a spare glance confirmed Spencer's delight with his offer before they both righted themselves in their seats for the rest of the night.

….

As Spencer began to clap, he scanned the stage for the dancer that struck his mind the most. When he found her, her smile was so wide that her eyes nearly crinkled shut with mirth, and she clutched her stage-mates hand in thanks, and bounded off of the stage with the speed and determination of a newborn calf that had just learned to run.

Morgan sent a side-eye Spencer's way and flicked his head towards the openings on the sides of the stage. He went to step out of the aisle, then caught himself and leaned back towards his companion, "Don't be too nervous, pretty boy, you've got nothing to worry about." He then chuckled at the dissipating storm of doubt in Spencer's eye, then threw his coat over his jacket and sauntered down the aisle beside their seats.

Spencer's breath tumbled out of him as he processed Morgan's words, yet couldn't fight the hand that rose to brush his curls back from his forehead. He then gathered his coat in his arms, and fell into step after his friend backstage.

...

Spencer entered upon an embrace between the two of them, with (y/n)'s face spilling over in warm glee  peeking over Morgan's shoulder. The warmth from her smile spread to his cheeks as he absentmindedly followed the nooks of her crinkled nose.

"I'm so glad you could make it," she squeezed from her throat, her breath caught by the strength of their hug, "I was so worried that you were gonna miss the chance to see if all of my hard work paid off."

"You think I'd miss this?" Morgan asked incredulously as they pulled apart, "you've been talking my ear off about it for months" They shared a chuckle and he patted her head, "You did great kid, I'm proud of you."

Her smile merely grew, and her eyes lit up at this sentiment, "I'm proud of me too." She said then punctuated it with a sharp nod before catching spencer's as he awkwardly stood by the entrance and picked at the lining of his coat. Nerves were set alight as she met eyes with Morgan once more, and discretely pointed in his direction mouthing, "Is that him?" with a slight giddy smile ghosting across her lips.

Morgan nodded, sporting that same knowing smile from before, "Go get 'im, tiger," he said as he stepped to the side to allow her to pass.

With a steady breath, she wiped her already clammy palms along her tights, and feigned a confident walk in his direction, her nerves still rumbling in her stomach, 'I didn't expect him to be so cute,' she thought to herself, as she stopped before him and slightly waved her hand to get his attention.

"Hi, you must be Spencer," she began, offering an open handshake to him. He startled a bit when he heard her voice, then offered her a small smile as he fumbled his jacket around until he got a hand free to meet hers, "My name is (y/n), Derek has told me so much about you." She finished with an embarrassed chuckle making her cheeks warm.

"Morgan's talked about me?" he responded, surprised and confused as he looked up to Morgan for confirmation, and only getting a thumbs up and an wink before turning his eyes back down to the woman before him.

"Uh-huh," she confirmed, "all good things, don't worry."

He chuckled as he thrust his hand into his pocket, "I would hope so," they shared an awkward smile before their eyes broke as they searched the room for something else to say to each other. "You were amazing tonight." Spencer settled on.

(y/n) giggled a little, bashful that he had noticed her on the stage filled with so many others, "Oh, thanks. I'm sure Derek has talked your ear off about how much I would vent to him after rehearsals."

Spencer sucked in through his teeth and rocked back on his heels, "Oh, yeah, this piece really handed it to you from what I've heard."

"That doesn't even begin to cover it," she responded through rolled eyes and a sigh, "I had to curate an entirely new work ethic for this show...it was worth it though." she added as an afterthought, a light smile rested on her lips.

"Was it?" he asked, a curious wrinkle in his brow.

(y/n)'s smile grew slightly, "Mhm, the exhaustion feels earned rather than expected. It's honestly what keeps me coming back to this stage."

"Earned exhaustion, huh?" He muttered, more to himself than anything, "That's certainly a new description of something that's usually disliked by most."

"I guess I'm not like most people then," she responded, with a shrug, "I'm not saying that I'm in a rush to be tired, but this tiredness is usually a sign of a good show for me. If I'm not tired when I get back, then I didn't give as much to that night's show as I should've."

"Hm, that seems like a pretty harsh rating system."

"Believe me, many of cast mates would disagree," she said, her pushing a tasteless chuckle from her chest, "But the beauty of it is, if I feel I didn't do as good as I should've, I get to come back and do it better the next day."

He matched her smile with intrigue, he had been so oblivious about the vigor of this field, and he'd found himself yearning for more elaboration from (y/n); she seems to talk about it with so much warmth and distant glee in her eyes. And (y/n) found his forward yearning of her daily life so inviting that she would answer any asking question that he threw at her.

"I'm guessing that method only works when you're given the proper chance to rest?" He asked, soft intrigue piercing through her flushed thoughts.

"Oh absolutely," she responded, "I never sacrificed my sleep throughout this entire process; hard work can't really amount to anything if I don't give my body a chance to rest, it'll give out on me," she said with a shadow of dread, as if she had learned that the hard way, "which reminds me that I have to get back home soon."

She drew back from her words with a sorry gaze directed up at him, "I really don't mean to cut this short-"

Her words were sliced with a sharp clap of thunder, followed by rain slapping against the door of the exit. Both of their shoulders jumped at the sound, and soon after, (y/n) slapped her palm against her forehead with a heavy sigh.

Spencer watched this carefully, "You don't have an umbrella, do you?" He asked, to which she shook her head, and began to gnaw on her bottom lip as she thought through her options.

After a moment, Spencer had suddenly remembered the weight of his umbrella in his hand, and in a split second, made the decision to offer, "I could stand outside with you while you wait for a cab; I wouldn't mind."

She smiled, her cheeks growing warm at the thought of being so close to him, "That would be wonderful, but you don't have to, Spencer, I live like ten minutes down the street."

His brows shot up, "So do I." he responded, soft wonder in his voice peppered with nerves, "I, uh, can walk you home if you would like."

"Oh, um, sure." she said, a giddy grin spreading across her cheeks, "I would love that."

As they shrugged their coats onto their shoulders, they shared a rising giddiness in their stomachs at the prospect of being so close to each other under an umbrella, nearly sharing a breath. She didn't miss the shy hand that wrapped around her hip as they exited to the brisk night air, a gentle sheet of rain dribbling down onto them as they fell into step beside one another.

...

"Well, this is me," (y/n) said as they arrived at her apartment building, "Thank you for uh, walking me home." She said sheepishly. "I hope it wasn't too out of your way."

"Of course, and not at all," he responded, shaking out the umbrella and reaching into his pocket for his keys, "I wasn't expecting to be walking myself home too,"

"Oh, this is your apartment building?" She asked incredulously, "Wow, what a wonderful coincidence," she muttered, biting her smile back, "what floor do you live on?"

"Six," he said, as he held the door open for her.

"No way, that's my floor" she muttered, only bearing to look down at her shoes as they approached the elevator, "room number?"

"A5," he said, cautiously.

An airy laugh of disbelief left her lips as the elevator opened for them, "We live across the hall from each other." Her eyes were wide and eager as she stepped into it.

Spencer could only bear to turn to her, as a breath tumbled out of his chest, "You're the voice that I've been hearing," he said, a slight smile turning up the corners of his lips.

"You...can hear when I sing?" She asked, her cheeks burning with embarrassment, before her words began to tumble out of her, "I'm so sorry, I hope I haven't been disturbing you-"

"Oh, no, you've been doing the opposite, honestly," he said, rushed before she shrank back into herself, "I...look forward to hearing your voice from across the hall, i-it's beautiful," his words fell meek and sheepish as he darted his eyes anywhere but hers.

"Really?" She asked shyly, looking up to meet his skittering eyes.

"Yes," he said with a sigh, meeting her wide eyes, "I've...I've been wanting to introduce myself to you for so long."

She giggled and glanced down as the elevator took them to their floor, "Well, I'm glad that Derek has taken care of the hard part for us."

Once the door parted, and the both of them stepped out and made their way to their doors, (y/n) followed the urge to hug him before the night ended; and Spencer was washed in the smell of rain and cherry blossom as she whispered a small good night into his shoulder before entering her room. And for the first time in a long time, Spencer found it within himself to view the coming future with a tentative excitement bubbling in his core.
