Free Bird: Part 2
Here's part one
Tumblr media
''Wait, Geo please wait...'' You shouted as you ran. You saw George unlocking his car.
''I need to tell you something!!!'' You shouted at the top of your lungs. It drew George's attention to you.
"Listen, I'm not trying to cause trouble." My words ought to have remained silent.'' George begin before you interrupted him.
George, no. You've always been the one.. You have always been my first love and I have loved you unconditionally. I will always remember you. I adore you and you alone. I have always loved you and you alone, therefore I will quickly bring you back if need be."" You said, telling him how you really feel.
"Please don't say that, Y/N." George whispered, his eyes gullible.
"George, you understand that this is the reality… Just be honest, please.'' you pleaded.
"I swear, I didn't mean to ruin your marriage," George exclaimed.
I have never loved the person who proposed to me. Geo, I've always loved you. I have always," you replied.
You went on, "Can't you see that?" I have loved you and will always love you.''
George kissed you on the lips and remarked, "I always had feelings for you too, Y/N."
You returned the kiss. "George, I've always loved you."
''Get in my car, quick, before the fangirls arrive,'' George urged.
You nodded and climbed into George's vehicle. George sped off.
Tumblr media
While George was driving, you remained silent. He appeared to be driving far away.
You were shocked to learn that you had canceled your wedding to be with George.
You felt no regret at all.
George drove for an extensive length of time before coming to a beautiful beach.
Tumblr media
As you gazed at the shore, you said to George, "Oh, this is beautiful."
"Not as beautiful as you love." George told you.
You blushed.
You and George both exit out of the car.
You grabbed George's hand.
George grasped your hand back.
''You know what, it feels good to not have any fans." George said to you.
''Yeah, it does seem that way.'' You agreed.
George and you kept strolling hand in hand along the beach.
George and you both had similar experiences when you two dated different people. Since he and Pattie lost feelings for each other, they drifted apart. When George and Pattie broke up, you were there for him.
When you caught your partner cheating on you with a woman named Wanda, George was there for you. After finding out, you spend the night at George's place, while your fiancé thought you were spending the night at your best friend's house. When you cried to George about this, he comforted you and held you in his arms.
George was the sweetest guy you ever met plus dated in the past. The fact that you two remain friends despite the split was nice to know, even if it was on and off due to Pattie and your fiancé, who didn't seem to be comfortable with you two having remained friends.
You and George continued to walk along the beach listening to the seagulls and waves.
''Hey Y/N? Though I hadn't planned on this happening, I always imagine this moment sometimes…'' George suddenly said. You were given a kiss on the forehead as he stopped in his tracks.
''Yes, Geo?' You asked as you looked into his beautiful brown eyes with a smile on your face.
''This is something I have always wanted to do. When I first fell in love with you, I knew I was in love with you forever. You were the first girl I ever felt passionate about. Having you in my life made everything better. You inspire me to be a better person. The only thing I could think about when we broke up was that I would lose you forever and this time I'll make sure that I don't lose you forever. I'll make sure of it.'' George said as tears began to spring to his eyes.
''George, I'm still here silly. I won't go anywhere.'' You giggled a bit as you wipe his tears away.
''Like what I mean is, I'm still here in your life and I already know how you feel about me George. I feel the same way about you.'' You smiled softly at him.
Tumblr media
Listen… darling… what I am trying to say is…'' George got down on one knee in front of you and pulled out the most beautiful diamond ring you had ever seen. "Y/N L/N Will you be my wife? Will you marry me?" George asked.
You looked around the beach in shock and then back at George. You nodded, tears of joy streaming down your face. George put the ring on your finger, and you two embraced in a passionate kiss.
''While I know it was a bad thing for me to propose to you after you left your wedding and ex-husband, I just couldn't wait any longer. My heart belonged to you. George mumbled through the kiss you shared. You and George were kissing nonstop.
''George, stop talking. I've always loved you. "You are my heart," you whispered as your lips brushed against his.
''I promise to never let you go my dear.'' George said as he picked you up and spun you around. "I am so glad I finally have you baby, and I cannot wait to become Mrs. Harrison.".
You and George could feel the joy and love in the air, and you two knew that this was meant to be. You and George were meant to be together. You both vowed to stay together through thick and thin, no matter what life threw your way.
As soon as you and George became husband and wife, you guys promised that the two of you would love each other and cherish every moment together.

A Birthday Creature Rescue!
The team was still in shock from the villains' attack, but no one had it worse than Martin. Chris turned to his brother, spotting him on his knees. He went over and slowly placed a hand on his shoulder, trying not to startle him.
"Martin, you okay?" he asked with a calm voice. His older brother stayed motionless, not saying a word. He then looked up at him with sad eyes, guilt written on his face.
"This is all my fault, Chris," his voice cracked, his brother giving him a confused look.
"What do you mean, bro?" He knelt down on his knees beside him.
"I lead them to them, I helped them find them, and now they're in danger and it's all because of me," he said miserably, regret in his voice. Chris patted his older brother's back, comforting him.
"It wasn't your fault, Martin. You couldn't have known they were following you," he said with an attempt to convince him. Martin looked at him with those same gloomy eyes.
"Thanks, Chris. But I won't forgive myself until I've helped them get back living free and in the wild!" he spoke determinedly, the sadness in his eyes melting into perceptible anger.
"Count me in," added Chris with the same tone and determination.
"Count all of us in!" They heard Koki say from behind. The trio - Aviva, Koki and Jimmy - joined the Kratt brothers as they formed a circle, about to elaborate a plan.
"Alright, we can't let Donita and Gourmand use those animals for some soup or accessory..." Aviva started.
"Yeah, but how are we gonna stop them?" Jimmy quized.
"There's only one way we can bust into Donita's plane and rescue all those animals in time," responded Chris.
"We have to be agile like a pine marten," continued Martin.
"Discret like a wolf," added Aviva.
"Sneeky like a fox," pursued Koki.
"And swift like a squirrel," finished Chris.
Jimmy gave a confused look to his friends before realization hit him. "Oh, you guys need to activate creature powers!" he beamed.
The crew exchanged amused looks before turning serious. They had animal friends to save.
Aviva and Koki rushed off to their creature power suits while Chris and Martin took out four different discs. The girls came back with their suits on before the bros threw two discs at them: a wolf disc for Aviva, a fox disc for Koki, a squirrel disc for Chris, and a pine marten disc for Martin.
Once the discs were inserted in the suits, the crew realized the animals weren't present for DNA activation. Just then, Chris took out a familiar object.
"Don't worry everyone, my creature souvenir collection will help," he reassured. As he opened the box, each member with a suit took out a sample of fur respectfully to the creature powers they wanted to activate.
Once everyone was ready, Jimmy stood aside to give his friends space to activate.
"Ready?" Martinasked ; they all nodded. "Activate creature powers!" They yelled out simultaneously.
Instintly, blasts of green, blue, purple and orange illuminated the area, the previous human figures morphing into four different animal aspects. Jimmy smiled in satisfaction at the sight of his friends, ready to save the day.
"To the creature rescue!" they let out as they headed toward the villains' hideout.
"Good luck!" Jimmy waved goodbye.
Later, the team arrived at a pink jet parked near a rusty plane, recognizing both vehicles as Donita and Gourmand's. They hid behind some buishes in order to elaborate a proper plan first.
"Ok, here's what we're gonna do: Chris and I get in and distract Donita and Gourmand while Aviva and Koki free all the animals," Martin said, a serious look on his face.
"Got it!" let out the others at the same time. Martin turned to look at Donita's jet.
"I bet all the creatures are in there, let's bust in and save them, Wild Kratts style!" He clenched his fists, a confident smile on his face. They nodded.
"Let's go!" On his signal, they all darted accross the thick layer of snow and to the pink ship.
Soon, the group found itself lurking inside the vents of Donita's plane, making noisy bumping sounds while they were at it. It wasn't long before they heard familiar voices below them, followed by laughter.
Martin squeezed his fist at the sight of his fellow creature friends lifelessly frozen by suspended animation. A gentle hand on his sholder helped calm him down. He turned to find Chris giving him a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry, bro. We'll save them," he whispered. Martin took a deep breath and nodded.
"Hey, it looks like Gourmand's getting his cooking utensils ready," pointed out Koki while peeking through the vent. The others gasped before quickly putting their hands over their mouths, but they were loud enough to be heard by the chef.
"Huh?" Gourmand let out, looking up at the vents above him.
"What is it, Gourmand?" Donita asked, an annoyed look on her face.
"Hmm..." The chef started sniffing sceptically. His eyes widened then squinted unpleasantly.
"I think I smell those pasky Wild Kratts," he informed with an irritated tone. Donita gave him a flabbergasted look.
"The Wild Kratts? Where?" She asked paranoidly. Gourmand's eyes turned back to the vents, where the team gulped.
"On three, guys. One, two, three!" Martin trailed off as they busted through the vent and landed perfectly in front of the villains, making a heroic entrance.
Goumand and Donita let out gasps followed by angry growls. "We knew it was only a matter of time before you've come for these animals," Donita started with a surprisingly calm tone.
"Ooooh wait 'til ah get mah hands on yah," Gourmand let out angrily, on the other hand.
"You won't get away with this!" Aviva threatened.
"Yeah! We're saving these animals and there's nothing you can do to stop us," Chris added.
"You will pay for kidnapping them on my birthday!" Martin growled. The evil duo just laughed at their predictable statements before attacking. Gourmand launched himself at the bros while Donita sent her pose beams at Aviva and Koki.
An epic fight broke off as the chef swang one of his bats at the Kratt in the pine marten suit, who swiftly dodged the hit then swang his tail at Gourmand who successfully jumped back, avoiding the tail. He cackled at Martin's attempt, when something came to his mind. "Hey, where's greenpea?"
"Over here!" he heard a familiar voice coming from above his head. Looking up, Goumand spotted a green figure dropping right on him.
"Gah, get off me you pasky rodent!" he cried out as the Kratt in the squirrel suit stood on his shoulders, blocking his view with his chef hat before hopping off. "Try squirrel will ya?" Chris said sarcastically.
Not being able to see, Gourmand started swinging his bat randomly in the hopes of hitting one of the Kratt brothers. They hopped around to avoid each swing, harder than the last.
Not too far, stood a confident Donita with a remote controller in her hand, trying to put Aviva and Koki in suspended animation. They bounced, ducked, dodged every single beam.
Suddenly, Aviva looked over at the brothers with Gourmand, then back at the pose beams. A brilliant plan formed in her head.
She dodged one more beam before calling out her friend. "Pst, Koki!" The girl in the fox suit's attention turned to her. Aviva pointed at the pose beams then at Gourmand and, automatically, Koki got her plan. She winked.
"Hold still!" yelled out an annoyed Donita, angrily pressing the buttons on her controller. The two girls nodded at each other before running off on all fours to the guys, luring in the pose beams.
"Chris! Martin! Get outta the way!" Koki alerted.
Seeing their friends coming their way with two pose beams behind them, they knew what they were up to. So without hesitation, the brothers jumped out of the way, leaving Gourmand in the center of the room still blinded by his hat.
Aviva and Koki waited until the pose beam went off before jumping out of the way, and just as the chef got his hat off, a blast of pink light hit him and rendered him uncapable of moving a muscle.
"Hey, what's the big idea!"
"Oops!" Let out a slightly embarrassed Donita. But just as she was about to turn off the pose beam, a long blue tail smacked the remote out of her grasp.
"Oh no, you don't!" Martin let out. Donita flinched as the device dropped out of her hand and into Aviva's "paw".
"NOO!"
"Oh yes! No more pose beams for you Donita," said Aviva with a heroic voice.
"And now let's free you guys," she added as her attention turned to the creatures that were still stuck in suspended animation, setting them all free.
"Pouncer, Toughy, Fluffy!" Martin let out delightfully as the animal cubs pounced on him. He laughed as they licked his face.
"Everyone's free, now they can go back living free and in the wild!" Chris said gloriously.
"Yeah!" the others cheered.
"NO! Their tails were going to make perfect scarves for my winter collection!" yelled out a enraged Donita, interrupting their happy cheers.
"And ah was gonna make the most delicious soup outta them!" Added a frustrated Gourmand, still stuck in suspended animation.
"These creatures don't deserve to have their tails taken away or end up in a soup," started Chris. "They deserve to be free and out in the wild, where they belong!" Martin finished.
"And don't ever mess with these creatures again!" Koki threatened, snarling like a real fox.
"Because when you mess with them, you mess with the Wild Kratts team!" Aviva clarified.
The villains growled in annoyance when a sudden loud sound came from above the plane. The crew looked up through the open airway on the ceiling to find the Tortuga flying above them.
A sudden ring tone came from Aviva's creature pod; she answered.
"'Sup guys! Ready to head back to the party?" Jimmy asked with a smug look on his face.
"YEAH! WOOHOO!" they beamed.
The ginger guy descended a platform on which the animals were put on, followed by the team. Then, Martin took the remote controller and threw it at Donita.
"By the way, thanks for the birthday creature rescue, it was fun!" Martin let out enthusiastically.
Donita caught the device with a huff while watching the team rising up to their ship and flying off. It was a succesful creature rescue!
"I can't believe they got away, again!" she complained.
"And ah can't believe you haven't freed me from suspended animation yet!" Gourmand reminded with an annoyed tone.
As in sudden remembrance, she quickly turned off the pose beam, making Gourmand fall backwards as a result. "Argh," he growled.
Out of nowhere, Dabio showed up in the room with some cooking utensils and skecthbooks. He looked around, confused.
"Hey, what happened?" he asked innocently. Donita and Gourmand gave him death glares.
"What?" He rubbed his hair in pure confusion. The villains completely ignored him as they were too angry to speak.

SaL anon here bestie and sorry I missed our usual good luck wishes last night, work is kicking my ass this week and since there's a conference till Friday I'm working night's as well. A shame too because it wouldn't have been necessary (love when that happens) since it was soooo good!! Yes there was way more Owen and Nazi's than I'd like but at least I enjoyed watching the agent in charge barely managing not to roll her eyes whenever he spoke. Even his talk with Tommy was fun (not getting over
the "you weren't in it" line anytime soon, the delivery was perfect 😆😆😆). In fact the entire Tommy storyline us such a delight, loved watching her flounder with Trevor while her work kids giggles in the ambulance. And I cackled out loud at the dinner when Evie and Izzy introduced themselves, it had such The Shining vibes, intentional or not. On a side note who does Gina Torres's hair?? Like mostly we see a work bun but when they go all out with the styling it's a damn masterpiece, nobody should look that good with all their hair on one side of their head). 
And of course the Tarlos this episode was perfect. I'm so relieved they didn't turn Iris into an obstacle, it was looking grim for a sec. But all the Tarlos scenes were so sweet and loving, even when they were meant to be funny. I won't say too much cause I feel like we can get a song out of this  this episode. But i'm looking forward to next week (with more Paul, Marjan, and Mateo please)!!
Hi my friend! I’m glad to hear from you, but sorry things are so busy right now! I had a rough week too with me and my mom both having our vehicles out of order at the same time and a boss that was difficult about letting me work from home a few times 🙄. ANYWAY, I hope you’re free to relax soon!
I know I bitch about Owen but I do like him when they let him focus on the job and his team and his scenes with Tommy are always so good! Their whole conversation this episode had me laughing, especially her face when she tells him he’s not in the dream 🤣 And the FBI agent was all of us rolling our eyes, but that scene was also pretty funny with him doing all that work and then not turning the tracker on. Unfortunately that’s about the only good thing to come out of this arc because so far I’m just bored with it. I do not care about this biker gang at all. Zero percent interested in this storyline. Damian Darhk hangs at a white supremist bar? Color me shocked 🙄
I do agree that Tommy’s storyline is an absolute delight so far! Part of that is because I really enjoy D.B Woodside, but I’m enjoying the character, he and Gina have some great chemistry, and I’m loving Nancy’s take on the whole thing. Breanna has SUCH good delivery and she plays so well off Gina and Ronen. And Gina’s hair is always stunning and I love that they find new ways to do it, since most shows, especially procedurals with the characters in uniform a lot of the time, typically pick one, maybe two styles if they do a “work” style and “home” style, (as you can see with Grace and Nancy) and that’s it unless there is a fancy event and then you get one episode with “fancy” style. But Tommy has had a lot of different looks and I love that we get to see that!
I’m also really enjoying what they’re doing with Iris. Even with all the (easily avoidable) plotholes this “new” backstory created, I think what we are going to ultimately get out of it is going to be worth it (insert *don’t blow this for us.gif* here). I really enjoyed how Carlos made sure to remind TK before Iris arrived that she’s blunt but not malicious, and that TK really takes that to heart and when he’s spiraling about what she said, it never comes up or is played that she said something to upset TK, but that she inadvertently hit a nerve. And out of that, we get such a good Tarlos scene that really shows their growth in being vulnerable with each other and committing to talking things out. Love that for them and for us! Also, can we talk about the CONSTANT soft touches because they are killing me with the gentle, casual intimacy and domesticity. Carlos calling TK “dude”? TK affectionately telling Carlos to shut up while blushing and rolling his eyes fondly? I’m just watching all their scenes like *chinhands* 😍 I’m looking forward to getting hit with the angst and tension next week, and I can’t wait to see what song you come up with for this week. It’s been AGES since we had something to work with!
If there is one complaint it’s that, as you mentioned, there is NOT ENOUGH Marjan, Mateo, and Paul. We’ve got three big storylines going into the opening of the season, Owen, Tommy, and Carlos. Judd is mixed into Owen’s and to some extent Tommy’s storyline, Grace and Nancy (and TK a tiny bit) are involved in Tommy’s storyline right now, and Carlos’ storyline is of course involving TK and Iris and may ultimately involve a little Owen and/or Judd if TK needs someone to talk to, plus we know TK helps Gabriel out. Soooo, where does that leave our other three “main” characters? It seems like if the storyline isn’t about them personally, they aren’t involved and I haaaaate that!! I want to know more about them, yes, and I WANT them to have their own personal storylines too, but they should get to be involved in the other character’s storylines outside of just work as well! We KNOW they have 126 hangs so they are all supposed to be super close, but I feel like we just don’t see that with them being as involved in the storylines outside of the firehouse. Which is one of the reasons I’m irritated at Owen having a storyline outside the firehouse because the other two main storylines right now are outside the firehouse and especially since it’s the start of the whole season, it would be nice if his storyline involved the 126 and let us see more of the crew, OR that Owen’s storyline was pushed to later in the season and we got someone else having a storyline focus, or just the 2 storylines right now, and more emergencies. This episode only had the one, ONE emergency this episode, and a blip of Grace being on the phone. It’s like...the opposite problem OG is having right now where they have so little going on for the main characters that the emergencies are taking up too much time (while still not showing us the team doing work, just looooong ass set-ups and focus on the guest character’s for the emergency), while LS has so much going on for the characters that there isn’t time for emergencies. Which circles back to not seeing Paul, Marjan, and Mateo as much because we mostly see them on calls when the episode’s storyline isn’t directly about them. It’s irritating that this is STILL an issue for these three characters in particular this many seasons in, but I do know they have said we ARE getting some central episodes for those three at some point, so fingers crossed we get more of them sooner rather than later. And any time we want to work them more into the personal scenes for other characters that would be great! Why don’t we see TK and Paul and Carlos going out? When can we get “danger magnets” TK and Marjan trying to one-up each other during a group night out? Why couldn’t Owen’s big storyline involve Mateo? Or Paul or Marjan? They are SUCH interesting characters and I NEED more of them! And Owen is always at his best when he’s in Good Dad Mode, or Competent Captain Mode, instead of Main Character Who Can Do Everything Syndrome Mode.
ANYWAY, I’m enjoying the season so far, I actually laughed out loud MULTIPLE times last night watching this episode, and I’m ready to enjoy the wild ride!

March Day 12
I have some petitions to complete yet, so here's something else for @morganaspendragonss with the prompt "crush injury"
Title: Take my hand, I'll never let you go
Summary: After saving a cyclist trapped under a car, it is TK who gets stuck under the vehicle and it is a matter of life and death to get him out in time.
TK's scream made the whole team fall silent. It was followed by moans and sobs from the paramedic who could barely breathe and for a second wished the agony would end soon and he could die before his entire body was completely crushed by the vehicle that had fallen on him.
"TK!" It was Tommy's voice calling out to him.
But there was also his father's voice, Judd's voice, Nancy's voice, the whole team was calling him.
He would give anything to be able to answer, to have the strength to say something, the air in his lungs to utter a single word. But he had all his efforts on to breathe and remain conscious despite the pain.
"TK, son!" The figure of his father appeared under the car, next to him, as close as he could get to him, and he reached out his hand to reach him. "Let's get you out of here."
"It hurts so much, Dad," TK protested and coughed as if every organ in his body was being crushed at the same time and with different hands. "I don't think I can take it...it hurts...it hurts too much."
"I know, TK, I know...well, I don't know because I've never had a car fall on me, but I promise you we're going to get you out of there and everything will be okay."
TK wished his father would stay down there with him, not let go of his hand and feel safe in case these were the last moments of his life.
"TK," Tommy said appearing a moment later under the car. "I'm going to start you on an IV of painkillers. They won't take away all your pain, but they'll make these minutes until we get you to the hospital less painful."
"Carlos..." managed to say TK.
They had seen each other five minutes when they arrived at the scene of the accident. Carlos was the police officer who was handling what had happened. When the ambulance and the 126 truck had arrived, Carlos was taking statements from the people who were there to find out how the accident had happened, how that cyclist had ended up under the car from which he had been pulled.
They said that the driver was drunk and had not seen the cyclist coming from the other street. They said he was on the phone, arguing. In any case, Owen's team had had to fight against the clock to save a man from being crushed by the car.
Little did they know then to imagine that a few minutes later, when the injured cyclist was already on his way to the hospital with an ambulance, that they would have to go back to work with time against them, but to pull one of their own out from under that same car.
Now TK was lamenting, not to think about how much his chest hurt, his ribs hurt, and the feeling that the car on top of him was about to break his back in two.
He almost felt that it was fate, that he was asking that someone should die under the wheels of that car.
He did not want to be him. He didn't want to always be him between life and death, and he didn't want Carlos to be there either, watching it all. But at the same time he didn't want to see himself in that situation far from the man he loved in case it was, once again, the last chance they had to see each other alive.
Carlos had stopped doing anything other than keeping an eye on what was going on with TK. He knew he couldn't help get him out. Being a cop was useless, he could only stand there and wait for those who could do something to get TK out of there.
His body trembling with nerves, Mitchell told him to sit on the floor. She must have looked bad, though it mattered little to him.
"If you don't breathe you're going to get syncope, Reyes."
"I won't be able to breathe until I see them get TK out from under there."
Mitchell put a hand on his shoulder. But when Judd called him over to approach the car and TK, he jumped to his feet and went to the car. Judd put a hand on his chest to stop him, he knew him well enough to know that he would be able, if they let him, to get under the car to get him off TK.
"Let me get close," he said to Judd and struggled with him for a moment. Not long enough to make the moment awkward.

And I Still Love You | Chapter I
Tumblr media
Summary | He hurt you and yet you still love him. He treat you like nothing yet you still want to stay with him. He loathe you very much and yet you want to please him. What happens when the time comes he might kill you?
Genre | Angst, Drama, Smut
Main Characters | Jungkook x Reader ft. Donghae & Taehyung
Supporting Characters | Eunhyuk & Hoseok
Author's Note | I want to thank my co-ARMY Pied Piper and the future readers of this story!
Tumblr media
Your mouth is bleeding from Jungkook's hard slap on your face, your right eye turned purple already because of his punch and your arms had red and purple marks from his strong grip on you.
"I'm sorry!" you plead, "Why are you so stupid?! You stepped on my shoe and now it's dirty!" your husband yelled. "I have an important meeting with a big client today!" he continued and you keep on crying and asking him to forgive you. He smirk and click his tongue and left your house, leaving you in pain.
You and Jungkook are married - arranged marriage. You were together for 3 years. Both your families are wealthy and Jungkook's father wanted his only son to get married as soon as possible for a stronger relationship and future of their business. When Jungkook first saw you he find you very beautiful and suitable to be the future mother of your children someday. Jungkook's dream is to have a family and he saw that with you. He learned to love you and you felt the same way, you get along with each other and when both of you were ready, you made love.
A miracle happened that you never knew. You felt the difference and changes in your body but you ignored it. You thought you were just eating too much that you felt bloated, you were just emotionally stressed due to work and you are used to your period being delayed for months since your menstruation cycle is irregular. Until one day, you went snow skiing by yourself while Jungkook is in business trip. You were enjoying that day because you always love pushing your boundaries.
Until it went too far.
You were going down rapidly, you panicked, you lost your balance and you tripped over rock. You were rolling along the slope very fast and suddenly your abdomen landed on another rock and it caused a massive impact and gave you a tremendous pain which made you scream your lungs out.
You were unconscious when you were rushed to the ER near the location, the nurse got your details and contacted Jungkook. Jungkook cut his business trip and quickly booked a VIP flight to see you. He was worried and anxious. His heart is wrenching from pain by thinking how you were.
Jungkook arrived at the hospital you were in and the attending approached him, "How's my wife, doctor?" Jungkook asked, he's trembling, waiting for the doctor's response. "Your wife is safe, Mr. Jeon." the doctor said, "Oh thank god!" He breathed in relief, until he noticed something’s wrong, the doctor sighed heavily and looked at Jungkook in the eye, "What is it?" Jungkook wondered, "We couldn't save the baby, Mr. Jeon." the doctor finally said. Jungkook was shocked, tears fell from his eyes and he took a moment to absorb the news. "Wait, she's pregnant?" He asked, the doctor nodded, "She's 8 weeks pregnant." The doctor confirmed, "Oh my god!" Jungkook breathed, covering his face with his hands and looking down to hide his pain after hearing the news, "The impact made a severe damage which caused a lot of bleeding. With the severe damage in the tissues and nerves on her abdomen..." The doctor paused, Jungkook looked at the doctor while he's breathing heavily, "I'm afraid she won't be able to have a baby anymore." The doctor said, making Jungkook cry even more.
He can't handle the thought of not having a child with you. A family he's been dreaming to have with you, is now gone.
Jungkook went to the recovery room where you were checked in. You were sleeping soundly, he looked at you, stared at you, his sadness turned into anger. He's frustrated at the situation and at the same time, he's angry at you. He never got the chance to witness your first pregnancy test, your first checkup, your first ultrasound image of the baby. And he will never experience any of those because of your recklessness. He loves you but he can't feel it anymore. All he feels about you now is anger and rage.
The next day, you finally woke up in the hospital bed and you saw Jungkook staring at you intensely. "Jungkook..." You said, you squirmed from the pain because of your sudden movement, and Jungkook is just staring at you, not comforting or helping you from getting up. "What are you-", "You were pregnant." Jungkook cut you off and you were shocked by his cold tone and from what you've just heard. "I-I-I didn't-" you stuttered, "You didn't know?!" Jungkook raised his voice, and you flinched, "How stupid are you?! You didn't felt it?!" He shouted and you were breathing heavily by his reaction, you shook your head giving him a 'No' answer, "You'll never get pregnant because of the accident." And on that moment, tears fell from Jungkook's eyes again. His eyes showed pain, sorrow, sadness and disappointment. "You're a disappointment, Y/N." He said and he left the room.
That's where it all started. Jungkook became cold to you, he always shouts at you, he gets angry at you in small things and for the first time he started to hit you. His anger and rage towards you took over the love he felt for you. You became nothing to him. A nuisance. As much as he wanted to divorce you, he can't. His parents won't let him and same goes for you, for the sake of their businesses your marriage must stand even if it fell apart.
Tumblr media
You lost the urge to go to work today but you have to. You get up and fix yourself. You massage your eye with ice to lessen the purple color around it and then you cover it with lots of foundation and concealer. You were about to leave, you received a text message from your sweet older brother, Donghae.
NEMO: How's my sweet sister? Can I visit you at your office today?
Your eyes are getting watery after reading his message. Donghae loves you so much that he's the only one in your family you lean onto. You send him a reply.
Y/N: Of course you can! I can't wait to see you! :)
Donghae arrive at your office, "Hey, there she is!" He greeted happily, "Hey!" You greet him back and he give you a big hug. He let go to take a look at you and he didn’t expect to see those marks on your face, "What happened to you?" He worried, "Nothing." You lied, "Y/N, I know you. You love Jungkook but I can see he doesn't feel the same way to you anymore." Your brother said, he began searching for more bruises on your body, he check your arms, legs, hands and neck. "You could just leave his place and stay married to him if that’s what’s bothering you." Donghae said, "I know." You said, and you can't contain the tears falling from your eyes. "I don't want to leave him, Donghae. I just can't." You break down on your knees on the floor in front of your brother and all he could do is hold you tight. "I'm always here for you." He said, and his voice is so gentle and soothing that it gave you comfort and you hold onto that comfort as your anchor from the pain you're feeling right now.
Your sobs slowly quiet down but Donghae notice you're not moving, he try to wake you but you're not waking up. He lift your face to check up on you, you were pale, your lips are dehydrated and your body temperature is cold.
"Oh my god, Y/N!" Your brother panicked. "Call an ambulance!" He shouted and your executive assistant rush to your office and find you lifeless in your brother's arm, "Hurry!" He said to your executive assistant, and she quickly get a phone call.
The ambulance arrive and they put you on the gurney and they quickly take you to the vehicle. Donghae is by your side inside the vehicle and he hold your hand. "Please hurry." He beg to the medical team and he didn't realize he was crying already just by looking at your current state.
There’s a knock on the door in Jungkook’s office, “Come in.” he’s executive assistant enters his office, “What is it, Hoseok?” Jungkook asked, “It’s your wife, Mr. Jeon.” Hoseok said, Jungkook continue reading the documents he needs to finish and sign for work, he sigh heavily, long silence irritates him. He put down the documents on his desk and look at Hoseok, “What does she want? Can’t you see I’m -” “She’s rushed to the hospital.” Hoseok cut him off, Jungkook wasn’t expecting this kind of news especially he is focusing at work, he swallow thickly, trying to absorb what he just heard, “What did you say?” Jungkook asking Hoseok for clarification. “I received a call from the hospital, that your wife was rushed to the hospital.” Hoseok clarified. Jungkook’s hands are trembling as he took the documents to distract him, “Okay. Thank you. You can go now.” he said and Hoseok leaves his office.
Tumblr media
You were sleeping peacefully in the recovery room, Donghae is by your side, watching over you. The doctor comes in, Donghae stands up to talk to the doctor, “Hello, I’m Doctor Lee Hyuk-jae.” the doctor greeted, “Hello, I’m her brother, Donghae. How is she?” your brother asked, “She’s okay now don’t worry.” the doctor reassured, “She experienced hematoma from her bruises. She’s dehydrated and I can tell she’s going in a lot of stress. She’s underweight and from the looks of it, she’s not eating properly.” the doctor explained. Donghae look at you and he’s beginning to worry of your situation at your home with Jungkook. “Doctor, can I talk to you outside?” he gently asked, “Sure.”
Donghae and the doctor are in the hall outside your room, “She has a husband.” Donghae mentioned and he continue, “He beats her like a toy.”, Donghae brush his hair with his hands and sighed heavily, “If this happens again, what will happen to her?” the doctor clear his throat, “With her current state, not just mentally but physically, she might not handle it if the beating gets out of hand.” the doctor said and Donghae nodded. “Thank you, Doctor.”
All your brother can think of is to get a lawyer to get a restraining order against your husband, so he can take you home and take care of you. Give you the proper care you need and do his obligation as your brother.
Tumblr media
It’s almost evening, Jungkook arrive at the hospital you’re checked in. “I’m looking for patient Jeon Y/N.” the nurse check what room you are in, “May I know your relationship to her?” the nurse asked, “I’m her husband.” Jungkook said, “She’s in room 715.”
Jungkook open the door to your room and he sees you sleeping. He comes to your bedside and sees how peacefully you are resting. The door opens and the nurse enters the room, “Good evening.” the nurse greeted and walks towards you to check your vital signs and breathing, “Um...how is she?” Jungkook asked the nurse, “Right now she’s stable. She just needs a proper rest.” 
“Is her doctor here?” Jungkook asked, “Doctor Lee Hyuk-jae is currently in surgery but I can page him for you. May I know your relationship to his patient so I can address you to him properly?” the nurse asked, “I’m her husband.” Jungkook said. 
Moments after, Doctor Hyuk-jae enters your room. “Good evening, doctor.” your husband greeted, “Good evening.” Doctor Hyuk-jae greeted back, “May I know your concern regarding your wife’s condition?” he asked, “What happened to her?” Jungkook asked while looking at you sleeping, Doctor Hyuk-jae explained to your husband your condition when you arrived at the ER this morning and how your health is affected by stress and depression. 
Jungkook just listened while looking at you and when Doctor Hyuk-jae is finish explaining of what happened to you, tears falls from your husband’s eyes.
Tumblr media
That’s it for ‘And I Still Love You’ Chapter One. Thank you for reading and I hope you like it!

Shapeshifter AU - 2
Tumblr media
Iwaizumi x f!reader
<< Part 1 | Part 3 >>
Summary: A fellow wolf shifter friend joins Y/n on another late night run through the forest. Y/n needs to learn to watch her surroundings. Sakusa is a good friend but also lowkey tired of Y/n’s shit.
Word count: 1.9k
Tumblr media
Warnings for this part: y/n and sakusa are wolf shifters, mentions of stress, sakusa struggles to drive a manual, there’s nothing crazy here
Genre: sfw (for now, 18+ regardless), shapeshifter au (not a/b/o), potential enemies to lovers
a/n: Sakusa is not the same friend y/n talked to in part 1. I swear not every part takes place in the woods. The next part is elsewhere.
Tumblr media
Part 2: A Wolf In Human Clothing
It has been nearly 4 weeks since Y/n may or may not have been spotted by a human in her wolf form near the forest outside of Higashiosaka. It was the only place she could think of to safely run at as a wolf anywhere near Osaka Prefecture, and this was the only run in she had since being in Osaka, so she wasn't about to give up her favorite spot. She had continued her normal schedule of going every five days or so, and this time she brought a friend. Y/n had met Sakusa through a friend a few years back and was ecstatic to find another shifter close to home. He rarely went with her to the forest, but sometimes she could convince him to join her if she didn’t want to go alone.
This time she parked at the small lot she had stumbled by before. It seemed to be an overflow lot for nearby buildings but didn’t get much attention at night. She had been able to use it a couple times for short visits without issues. The two of them snuck off into the forest before shapeshifting into wolves.
Sakusa took the lead. He may tower her normally, but his wolf isn’t much bigger than her. The forest was dark tonight and she was reminded just how hard it is to spot them in the dark with their black coats. He was only trotting along, far from the full sprint she favored when alone, but she can’t be picky when she dragged him out here. She’d get a chance to run at some point. The agreement for the night was simple: Keep it under an hour, say near each other, and Sakusa gets to lead this time.
Twigs and leaves crunched under heavy paws, fur swayed with the wind. The air was cooler tonight as fall was just starting to roll in. Not many leaves have fallen yet so there’s still plenty of cover. Clouded sky blocked most of the moonlight from reaching the forest floor, but that wasn’t much trouble for the wolves. Deeply inhaling the scents of her surroundings, she cleared any city fumes from her lungs as she followed Sakusa a good kilometer as he took a different route than what she often frequented.
Soon he slowed as he approached a stream and sat in the grass just for her to circle him, kicking leaves at his feet. She was here to have fun, not sit around when he had already cut her preferred time here in half. He only eyed the other shifter for a second before completely ignoring her to which she pouted, dropping to her side with an exaggerated huff.
As she laid there she noticed more sounds. More insects and bats than she would have expected. Rolling onto her back, she looked into the sky to watch any bats her eyes could catch. Sakusa was surveying the area from his chosen spot, but was now looking up as well after catching sight of the belly up wolf. The both of them stayed like that for a while, enjoying nature around them.
At least until Y/n had enough and promptly rolled to her feet with a low growl, grass and dirt falling as she shook out her coat. She gave Sakusa’s side a playful nip before taking off in a dead sprint. At first, he just watched her. Then decided he better make sure she doesn't get lost, or rather him as he doesn’t come out here half as much as she does. With an annoyed exhale, he chased after. With her head start, she covered quite a bit of ground before he even stood up. It was dark, but she was making enough noise for him to follow the new route she was taking.
Eventually she looped back to the tree line where the two wolves had started. Looking back, she saw she won the impromptu race and shifted from her wolf form once more before turning towards the parking lot to leave the tree line, only to freeze in her tracks.
New vehicles had relocated to the lot. Not surprising given it's not too late. One of Sakusa’s rules was to be back to the car by midnight and she was sure she didn’t push it too much. What caught her attention was a dark green truck, she now recognized as a Toyota, parked between where she was and her black Honda. The man in the truck locked eyes with her before she whistled over her shoulder to signal to Sakusa out of fear. This couldn’t be the same truck and person. She couldn’t have been caught twice now. Especially not by the same person, no.
She took a few long breaths before slowly exiting the tree line and walked around the parking lot, avoiding the green truck but also not walking straight to her car out of caution. She took to the sidewalk and walked towards a 24hr convenience store directly next to the lot, choosing to be in a more public place and not alone with the stranger nearby. But before she reached the store, the familiar Toyota pulled out of the lot and headed down the road.
Once out of sight, she quickly walked back across the lot to whistle into the woods again as Sakusa had stayed away like she hoped. Not more than five seconds went by when she spotted Sakusa leaving the trees, no longer the black wolf he was when she left him behind. She quickly got into the passenger seat of her Honda, non-verbally asking him to drive. He didn’t prefer to but would anyway if she asked nicely enough. Soon he was climbing into the driver’s seat.
Brows furrowed, he frowns, “You left me in the forest and expect me to drive? Also, what was the warning for when you were out here?” He was obviously annoyed by the whole situation. Being talked into coming here, then left behind, then the warning signal. He had the right to be.
“First of all, I just wanted to run,” she whined, resting her head against the window, “I was just trying to get ya to race me - which I won by the way - then I spotted someone in the parking lot, after I won.”
He was mad now. Speaking sternly, “That’s not how that works. Don’t take off when I’m with you. What if I lost you?”
She frowned and played with her hands in her lap, “I was just playing around.. But yeah, I shouldn’t have left you behind..”
He let out a breath and started the car, “I know. It’s partially my fault too. I watched you run before deciding to chase after you.” He started to leave the parking only to stall the engine and sigh loudly in response, “I don’t know why you ask me to drive your car when I do this every time. Take my car next time if you’re going to make me drive back.”
She suppressed a giggle with her fist, “You’re getting better. Ya dropped the clutch too fast. I know I’m not the best at explaining this stuff, but you’ll hear it start to rev. So just listen for that an’ slowly let off the clutch and onto the gas more.”
He put the car back in neutral and tried again, this time making it out of the parking lot. She set the on-board GPS to his apartment, and babysat his left hand as it rested on the gear stick. She’d usually tap it if he needed to shift and hadn’t yet. Generally, he did okay once he got moving though.
Once he was up to speed and not overly concentrated on shifting he spoke again, “You said you saw someone back there.. Did they see you?”
She was silent for a moment, only staring at the red accents on dash, tracing them with a finger. “Maybe.”
He actually raised his voice for once, but it was out of worry, not anger, “Maybe?! What makes you think they did?”
The panic in his voice made y/n lose the grip she had on hiding the panic in her own voice. She spoke rushed, voice cracking, “I was near the end of the woods a-and I looked back to see if you were behind me a-and then shape shifted an’ when I turned to the lot a guy was looking at me.”
He stared quietly out the windshield, slowing to a stop at a traffic light. She watched as he went through the motions to stop and take off again; this time without much trouble. She mumbled a praise as he got back up to speed.
“So someone was looking at you, okay. So they might have seen someone standing in the woods at night. Creepy, but not the end of the world,” he glanced at her quickly then back to the road, “Thanks for warning me to stay back. Someone standing in the woods at night is super weird, but seeing a wolf out here - that might be more alarming.”
She stared at him deep in thought. Sure, maybe that was all it was. But that guy could have watched her shape shift, and she’s almost certain this is the same guy that may have seen her wolf form before, but she didn't mention that to anyone before and nothing came of it. No news of wolves being spotted outside Higashiosaka, or anywhere for that matter, so there wasn’t anything to worry about.
This bothered her more though. She looked out the driver’s side window as a car passed by. Sakusa was barely driving the speed limit, so it didn’t surprise her. It didn’t surprise him when she reached over and swept a stray curl out of his face. He wasn’t a fan of human contact and she wasn't one to overstep that, but on rare occasions she’d do little things like this. He knew these types of actions, the hair and how she keeps playing with her hands, are acted on by nerves. Showing she's more bothered than she’s letting on; so he won't bother her about it.
They soon arrived at Sakusa’s apartment building. It’s one of the taller complexes not far from where she lives, but deeper into downtown. Pulling into the parking garage underneath, he quickly found a spot in the visitors section. Once parked, he immediately shut off the engine and relaxed in his seat. “I don’t know why you don’t get an automatic.”
She giggled at him, “It’s not that bad.”
He growled and she winked in response, resulting in him rolling his eyes. “Be careful driving home, Y/n.”
She hesitated, playing with a piece of her hair - another idle nervous habit. He went to remove the keys from the ignition just to be reminded it's a touch start, and moved on to grab his own keys out of the center console where he dropped them when entering the car earlier. He eyed her as she continued to sit quietly. “You don't want to go home, do you?”
Seeing her rueful smile he opened his door, “Come on. I know you don’t want to be alone.” He climbed out of the driver’s seat and closed the door behind him. Sometimes when her nerves got the best of her, or after watching a horror movie and she was too scared to stay home, she’d whine until he let her stay with him. He waited for her to get out too before leading them into the lobby, “I’m not sharing my bed though.”

shotgun.
PAIRING: jeon jeongguk x kim taehyung
GENRE: heavy angst.
WARNINGS: major character death, mention of blood, mention of weapons, cursing, mention of wounds and heavy heavy angst.
author’s note: hi!! i’m back with something different this time! i’ll keep it short because it’s almost midnight and i have school tomorrow. i’ve had this story in my notes for years now, it’s one of the first i’ve ever written and today since i didn’t have the strength to write something new, i decided it was time for her to be translated! so here she his, just something i couldn’t stop thinking about after watching not today’s mv for the first time. the pure wave of panic in jeongguk’s eyes when he hears the shotguns and turns around has been in my mind since 2017. said that, i hope you’ll enjoy this as much as i did when i wrote it!
ashes and snow mixed with each other, becoming one, as they slowly fell back on the boy’s pitch black locks and sweat dripping face of jeongguk, hiding behind a car, the rifle well clasped in his hands, ready to be used.
that was going to be the final match,
they had sent him the live coordinates, and the team had immediately left to the suburbs, armed from head to toe, determined to capture once and for all the gang that had been haunting their city for months now.
click.
in the silence of the night, light up only by the moon and the streetlights, as well as the various led lights of the abandoned building, the sound of a weapon being loaded echoed.
jeongguk clawed his ears, indicating the others to follow him, flattening against the vehicle, he begun to walk to the source of noise, stepping out in the parking lot in front of the building, whom was completely empty If not for a single figure, quietly dangling in the middle of nowhere, a gun in his right hand and a red hair band between his ashy blonde hair, locks comfortably falling on his eyes and cheekbones, he looked like the most dangerous of angels.
he had always been like this, as far as jeongguk could recall, his aurea would make the most turn their gazes away, they feared him, and yet were so fascinated by the presence of that tall, beautiful creature, radiating such confidence and power, there were rumors going around the campus that a gaze of his would be enough to light you up and leave nothing but ashes behind his back once he was gone.
as their eyes met, jeongguk felt the ground under his feet almost disappearing;
that look of his had been the cause of his destruction, so deep and expressive, seemed to be constantly staring into his soul.
he saw him grin, perfectly conscious of the positions of his, and jeongguk’s allies.
the dark haired turned around, stumbling into a bundle of pink locks, none other than his first officer and best friend.
« jesus, jimin! » he hissed,
« Quick, go to the other side, we’ll take care of this mess, take seokjin with you, if the situation gets complicated here, come back, if not, stay there, got me? »
jimin nodded before slipping silently in the night, side to side with the oldest, who took a last glance at jeongguk before he disappeared into the darkness.
once he was sure that they had obeyed his order, the raven haired returned to pay attention to the figure, which in the meantime was looking at his nails, waiting for some sign of him, which didn't come, forcing him to speak.
« damn jeongguk, years of living together and you won't even say hello? »
he flicked the tongue on the roof of his mouth, disappointed, as he added:
« have they not taught you manners? or did a cat feast with your tongue? yet when we were together, you’d always have so many things to say....» he let out a short laugh, no hilarity, and then went back to looking at him, eyes lost into the darkness of the parking lot.
« well then I'll have to teach you everything again i guess. »
and from there it was complete chaos.
his comrades came out from the shadow, hair bands in head and guns in hands, they started shooting.
being repaid by the policemen, who jumped out of the cars, the black bullet vests dirty of snow and ashes and the guns ready tightly between the hands.
but taehyung wanted him,
and he wouldn't waste his bullets on anyone else.
there he was, standing there in the corner, leaning over a car, he waited for jeongguk to arrive, who didn't delay to please him, popping out of the car, his dark eyes on the oldest, who stared back with an excited, curious look in his ones, like a young sherlock holmes who was presented a stimulating case after months of withdrawal.
jeongguk armed the gun, ready to fire, sweat was dripping on his face, from the forehead where dark hair stick, to his chin, biting down his cold lips, he closed his eyes for a moment, overwhelmed by the situation, he dissociated by reality for a couple of minutes;
as he came back to his senses, he froze to the spot, taking in the sudden silence around him.
as he suddenly came back to reality, dropping his weapon, starting to turn around, he realized that he was alone, his mates, twenty, twenty-five brave men like him, were laying down in pools of blood that dyed with crimson red the pearly white snow.
at that moment, chest quickly rising and falling and head spinning around,
he thought that if the expression "the sky fell on him" really existed, then by then he would’ve already been dead under the weight of the dark deep sky.
he fell down on his knees, hot tears making their way from his burning eyes to his dirty cold cheeks, followed by sobs, which gradually turned into a rag, then into a scream.
he screamed until his throat started to ache, until he felt like he had no more voice to let out, tearing the nocturne silence apart.
once he recovered a little bit of lucidity, getting a hold of himself, he looked up, eyes full of hatred, towards the blonde boy, who was already looking at him, feeling almost sympathy for that child who had just lost his entire team.
he approached him, kindly laid the barrel of the gun under his chin, followed by one hand on his shoulder.
taehyung lifted his face with the weapon, causing their noses to touch, he gulped, conscious that what he was about to do would only complicate the situation, but unable to hold back.
he softly laid his lips on jeongguk’s, capturing them in a kiss that soon led to despair and anger, leaving the younger in a total state of confusion;
jeongguk felt ashamed, he felt absolutely an ass as he kissed the other back, choosing to forget for a second everything that was going on around them.
taehyung’s lips still tasted the same, they weren’t sweet, nothing of his was except for his face; it was more as if a lightning bolt just fell over him, it gave him goosebumps and made him feel free; taehyung had this power over him, of making jeongguk feel like the freest of people, it made everything seem possible, even the most far things.
jeongguk sighed into the other’s lips
returning to when they were two completely normal high school kids, to when they were on the same side and their biggest problem was what movie they were going to see at the cinema on the weekend.
he closed his eyes, letting the other swallow him into the kiss, feeling tears stain his cheeks with their transparent, warm liquid.
he thought that if that was his end, then it could have been way worse.
click.
the magical aura of that moment was abruptly ripped out by a hiss, followed by a whisper, then blood.
jungkook's arms trembled, stretching out with around the older, trying to hold him, face crossed by the panic of someone who had never faced that situation, not on his skin.
he started calling for help without realizing, embracing the blonde's body in his arms, who in the meantime was looking at him through his eyelashes, face contracted in pain.
he stretched his hand out over jeongguk’s cheek, wiping out a tear, then turned it down to his lips, releasing them from his teeth.
« j-jeez, how many times have I told you to not to bite your lips? you're just gonna ruin them. »
his voice put some lucidity back in jeongguk, who shifted his gaze back over him, grimace getting slowly replaced by a slight smile.
« good boy. »
the dark haired tried to speak, but not a sound came out, leaving him hanging on a painful sigh, while the sirens of the police could be heard in the distance, he was unable to think of anything else except the body that was growing colder and heavier in his arms, staining him with musky red blood.
« t-taehyung?» he said, voice high key shaking, receiving a positive sign from the other, who slightly nodded, struggling to let out any words over the growing pain.
« yeah gguk, im pretty sure that’s my name. can you /please/ smile for me? i deserve it, don't I? if I am to die, I want to take your beautiful smile to the afterlife.»
but jeongguk couldn't, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't smile, he chuckled off a sob as he felt him grab his hand and lay it on his chest.
he saw him look up on the night sky before speaking once more, his voice reduced to a flexible whisper.
« Isn't she beautiful?»
the younger looked up, meeting the presence of the moon, who looked at them quietly from the dark sky.
he nodded, charmed.
« yes... yes, it is, it is beautiful. »
he unconsciously put his head on the older’s chest - growing colder and colder by the seconds - he crouched by his side, grasping him as if his own life depended from it.
his chin started trembling and silent tears wet the fabric that was completely red on which his head was laying.
he felt the older’s heartbeat slowing down over and over and over, until it became almost an imperceptible sound.
then every noise stopped, the moment the blond parted his blueish lips, letting one last word out, which he had taught to him the full meaning years before, and that had been suspended between them for years.
« i love you. »
and he died.
quietly, while the battle was raging around them, and jeongguk cried silently, without knowing that in the distance there were other people doing the same thing, including namjoon, who had been for years like a father to taehyung, and couldn't stand to lose him like that, along with hoseok and yoongi, who, respectively, sobbed and watched the scene, cheeks wet and burning eyes.
and so, on that cold night of february, the moon became silent viewer of the massacre, whose worst loss was without doubt the love of two boys, the victim of fate, as unpredictable as cruel.
a week later.
he looked in the mirror, fixing his tuxedo and the last buttons of his shirt, sticking his jacket and fixing his tie.
jeongguk sighed, passing his long finger over his eye bags, a memory from the previous heavy and tiring week.
he sighed, repeating an encouraging mantra in his head, hoping it would work.
« come one jeongguk, you can do this, you have to do it.»
then he came out, finding, parked over the gate, seokjin’s black car and the latter, which slightly waved at him, followed by jimin’s wide encouraging smile, the pink hair combed with gel.
« come on, gguk, we'll be late!»
seokjin started the car, not even waiting for the other to fasten his belt, heading to the cemetery.
he had the smart idea of putting on some music, distracting the younger from all the thoughts that were nagging him, making that journey unfairly carefree.
he parked silently in front of the dark gate, removing the keys from the car and getting out, followed by the pink one and at last by jeongguk, who, a little reluctantly, abandoned the tepor of the car to dive into the cold air of March, slipping his hands into the pockets and locking the car, reaching with a few falcats the entrance of the cemetery, observing the two colleagues who, having preceded him, were already halfway across the street confabiling each other.
he got lost looking at all the plates covered by ivy, climbing to the trees, without realizing he'd reached his destination.
to wake him from his thoughts, it was the sudden appearance of three other figures, as elegant as them, who were approaching him, the bandana replaced by a fancy hairstyles held in place with gel.
« thank you for coming.»
the tallest of the three, what jeongguk remembered being namjoon, gave him a brief look, full of meaning, before he joined seokjin and jimin, followed by the guy with mint hair, yoongi, and the one with red fire-locks, hoseok.
they sat there in silence waiting for the seventh component to arrive, which jeongguk found himself carrying, head in the line, gulping heavily as he tried to hold himself together until they reached the freshly made hole, in which the mahogany coffin would’ve been buried in a matter of minutes.
at that point, tightened in their suits, the six boys, too young to go through all that, melted into sobbing and crying, leaving jeongguk alone with his thoughts.
251228
the snow was gently falling on the rooftops of the city, decorated by coloured lights and christmas carols, who accompanied jeongguk, held tight in his black coat, to the place which he visited every christmas.
he kneeled next to the marmorean plate, cleaning it out of snow and laying a deck of black roses, the rarest ones he could find, and their favorite from day one.
he gulped, squeezing in his jumper.
« hi.»
jeongguk breathed in. it was always as hard as the first time.
« long time no see? i guess. i actually see you everyday, everywhere, everytime i close my eyes you’re there, smiling at me, teasing me, and more than everything, gasping for air between my arms.
jeongguk spoke up, voice getting louder by the seconds.
« jesus christ i fucking miss you alright? yeah you’d say, of course i do! of course you already know right? as if i hadn’t been telling you the same thing for over than eight year...funny. it’s just that...jeez it’s not easy to stop missing someone, and i just...i just can stop missing you, it’s feel like a crime to wake up and not think about you first as i wait before opening my eyes... oh baby i’m a wreck without you, can’t you see? i need you here to stay, i need you here again, and it hurts so fucking much sometimes i’d rather not wake up, even if it meant dreaming of your pale skin and blueish eyes. darling when i’m fast asleep i see this person watching me...saying, is it worthy? well damn i don’t know anymore. there is something and there is nothing in between and in my eyes i only see you, and everytime i try to embrace you you disappear and it’s getting so hard to bear--» he gasped for air, breathing in and out slowly to try and calm himself down.
« are you you enjoying yourself there right now? do you have a family? did you find someone to share your destiny with? i hope so, because, you see, I tried, I have a family now, of course, it's not like having you, but you have to settle sometimes, right?» he sighed, feeling stupid. « jesus....remember that promise we made ourselves? that we would walk together to the end, well, here I am, even if you can't answer me, I am here walking next to you... Merry Christmas taehyung, i...i love you, i still fucking love you so much and it’s killing me day by day.»
gulping, he rose up, dusting the snow from his knees and walking to the gate, tears prickling in his eyes and chest painfully rising up with every breath he took.
he started sobbing, hiding his face behind the sleeves of his coat as he walked away, unaware of a figure who had watched him from behind a tree the whole time, his translucent lips bent over a blurry smile, eyes full of imaginary tears of those who had never stopped dreaming, of those who had never stopped loving.

Pajama party (part 3)
Axel jumped a bit from surprise, but sighed with relief, realising who it was.
Liya: Oh, Lilith, I was about to tell everything~ And hi, Jeff~
Jeff: Hello, guys.
Anoli: Hi.
Chris: Hey.
They waved at the couple as they approached to the crew.
Lilith: Well, I thought that it would be better if we do it together. After all, we planned to invite more people, if I remember correctly~
Axel, Anoli and Chris: Wait, what??
Everyone exclaimed.
Axel: Do you mean....there will be more demons there???
Liya: No need to be that surprised and scared~ They wanted to meet us after all~
Axel: Not to be scared??? Don't you realise what does it mean for us???
Chris and Anoli looked at each other with confusion, while Lilith giggled softly.
Lilith: These demons have manners, Axel~ They're not like others~
Axel: That doesn't change anything! Jeff, how can you be okay with it??
Jeff: That's Lilith's idea, I swear. I had a thought to persuade her, but knowing that it won't work, I just agreed.
He approached a bit to Axel as whispered.
Jeff: I don't know how I'm able to survive her tricks.
Axel: Same here with Liya, pal.
Chris: Umm, won't it be okay if we first meet these people in person? Just doing a party with unfamiliar people to you is not good.
Anoli: Yeah, even if they're demons like you and Liya.
Lilith: They will not harm us, maybe have a little fun, but no harm~
Liya: Trust us, pleeeease.
She looked at the crew with puppy eyes, making them to think for a moment. They looked at each other as Chris and Anoli took this opportunity to have a moment to discuss.
Chris: I don't think it's a good idea.
Anoli: I know, love. But Lilith and Jeff were nice to us during camping time. I don't think that this time it will be different. Well, besides demon thing.
Chris: That's the problem, there will be sexy demons and what if they...do something "inappropriate"?
Anoli: We can ask Lilith about it if such thing happens. I think we should give it a chance. Plus, they're right about taking a break after...after what happened.
Chris: Hmm, you have a point here. Okay, I trust you.
While they were talking, Axel and Liya tried to get into agreement too.
Axel: Liya, do you realise how doomed i will be?
Liya: C'mon, it will be fun~
Axel: I already have you, I don't want more demon girls or boys.
Liya: True, and yet I'm still a demon. Please, love, I haven't seen any other demon girls besides Cereza.
Axel:.....Okay, love. But you're still the only one I love.
Liya: I know~
As crew finished their chat, they looked at each other, at Lilith and Jeff.
Anoli: Well, we came to agreement to give it a try.
Lilith: Splendid~
Chris: But where will we hold it?
Axel: My appartment is too small for it.
Jeff: Lilith has already prepared a room for it.
Everyone: Already???
Lilith: Hehe, yep, I did~ I have several houses in human realm. I'm Queen of Hell after all~
Axel: Why do I keep having bad feeling about it?
Chris: Good, then shall we drive over there?
Lilith: Sure, less suspicious~
And the crew drove on their vehicles to the place that Lilith was talking about. It took some time as such places were a bit unfamiliar to the crew. Finally, they arrived to a mansion that stood close to the town.
Anoli: Wow, it's so beautiful.
Chris: Agree, not to mention to see it personally.
Lilith: Thank you~ Glad you like it~ Well, shall we go in?
Axel wanted to change his mind, but there was no way back. There was a nice garden around the mansion, full of rosebeds and other plants. Even a little fountain gave some charm to it. As the crew entered the mansion, they could see the entrance hall, not so different from any other house, and yet enough space to walk. In front there were stairs to the second floor and on other sides there were kitchen, living room and guest room.
Lilith: Welcome to the mansion.
Liya: Wow, so wonderful.
Anoli: it's so unusual to be here.
Jeff: Yeah, not everyday you can visit such place.
Axel: Umm, so, where are the demons?
???: Over here, little boy~
Axel jumped from surprise as looked up and noticed a demon naked girl hanging on the chandelier, looking at new guests. Meanwhile other demons appeared from other rooms, standing around the crew. Chris, Anoli, Axel and Jeff were stunned, while Liya was surprised. Noticing such reaction, Lilith only giggled and presented girls.
Tumblr media
Lilith: Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce my and Lucifer's personal group of succubi~
-------------

Fraxus Week 2020: Day 1 - First Meeting
Tumblr media
Summary: After a crappy post-college first year, Laxus jumped at the opportunity to leave town for a week for a road trip with his friends. He intended it just to be a week away with his friends, but when he meets an unfamiliar stranger, the vacation turns into something much more. [Fraxus Multichapter]
This was written as part of the annual Fraxus Week event hosted by @fuckyeahfraxus​​. This year I’ve decided to make an eight-part multi-chapter fic out of the prompts. They might not be in the correct order, but I think the end product will be worth it. Hope you all enjoy it.
You can read this on Fanfiction, Archive of our Own, and under the cut.  Read the other chapters from this masterlist.
Chapter One – Getting Aboard
It had been Bickslow's idea.
Nobody would think it, but the blue haired idiot was perhaps the most caring of the group, the mother figure, in a way. He wasn't the most conventional 'mom friend', and it certainly didn't diminish his enthusiasm to get drunk off his ass when the opportunity presented itself, but he was always the one keeping an eye out on his friends and knew when something was wrong. Apparently he had seen something was wrong with all three of them, and had come up with this plan on how to fix it.
A road trip to the Grand Canyon. None of his friends knew where the idea had come from, nor did they know why he insisted on renting an RV and driving there instead of getting the train. But the man had this enthusiasm about him that was cast upon them like a spell, and they couldn't find a way to fight it. Perhaps they all knew they needed the break.
Laxus was damn sure he did.
It had been just shy of a year since his graduation from college, and his plan had been to get a job in a gym being a personal trainer. That hadn't happened. He'd gone to many job interviews and nothing had come from any of them, and each rejection had been like a punch to the gut. He knew he couldn't just use his grandfather's money for ever, so had gotten what was meant to be a temporary job in an office while he looked for more appropriate employment. That had been nine months ago, and he hadn't been near to an interview for his chosen career in over half a year.
So far, his post college life had been a failure. Perhaps he had been naïve to think good things would happen instantly, perhaps he just needed to be patient. But the idea of getting away from everything for a week was what he needed.
Even if it was in what he could only assume was a crappy van.
Even if he had to wake up at five thirty to get on the highway before the majority of traffic, for some reason.
Even if one of the people he was traveling with was a stranger.
He had known Bickslow for the longest. They had been friends since they were kids and, although Bickslow moving away for college had meant they weren't as close as they once were, Laxus still considered the man his closest friend. He was chaotic, loyal, and overall just a fun guy. He could be obnoxious, but who couldn't?
Evergreen had come later, when she transferred into their high-school and Bickslow had dragged her into their small group. She was a little haughty at first, but that was clearly a defensive state she took on as the new girl. As they got closer, she showed a snarkier and quick-witted side. She fit in with the two men like the missing piece of a puzzle, even if she had a stupid insistence of hitting them with a fan when annoyed.
But now there was Freed.
Laxus didn't know all that much about Freed. He knew that he went to the same college that Bickslow and Ever did. He knew that he lived a few towns over, about half an hour's drive. He knew that he was a literary and science major. That was it. But both Bix and Ever thought well of him, so he was probably a good person.
"What time is he coming?" Makarov asked, cupping a mug of coffee while sitting at the kitchen table.
"Should be a few minutes," Laxus shrugged, biting into the toast he'd made for himself.
"I don't get why you have to leave this early," Makarov commented, glancing at the clock handing on the wall as sipped his drink. "You're going to be driving for days on end, you'll get caught in traffic anyway. You might as well sleep in to an appropriate time."
"Nobody asked you to see me off," Laxus quirked an eyebrow. He agreed with the sentiment though, he'd much rather leave later and deal with the traffic.
"No, but you seemed determined to bump into everything as you were getting ready and to make as much noise as you could. It's hard to sleep through that," Makarov grinned, clearly trying to get a reaction out of his grandson. "Besides, it's been years since I saw your friends, it'll be nice to see them again. And that new boy you'll be travelling with, I want to mee him too."
"We're picking him up later," Laxus said, crunching another bite of toast; he had burned it.
"Ah," Makarov nodded.
The two men fall into a comfortable quiet, the silence being accompanied by the radio Makarov had insisted turning on despite complaining about all the music they played. Laxus ate his breakfast while his grandfather read the newspaper. Once Laxus was finished, he checked the small suitcase that he had packed for himself to make sure it had everything he needed, then sat back at the kitchen table and waited for his friends to arrive.
A few minutes later he got the text saying that Bickslow was outside. He cracked his back and walked to the front door of the house he shared with his grandfather, and looked upon the large RV that had been parked at the foot of the driveway.
It was an impressive looking vehicle, and probably a good model. The idea to go on this road trip had been made in March, giving the four of them four months to save up enough to hire something relatively luxurious. Bickslow was hanging out of driver's seat window with a wide grin on his face, clearly happy that his plan was starting. Laxus found his enthusiasm infectious, and a small smile graced his lips as he approached.
This was exactly what he needed to put aside the disappointment of the year.
"Hey man," Bickslow greeted with a voice too loud for the time of the morning. He looked past Laxus and grinned wider. "Hey Mr D."
"Morning Bickslow," Makarov greeted from the doorframe, smiling. "Is Evergreen not with you?"
"She's in the back, sleepin'. Told her that it'll take a hell of a lot of beauty sleep not to make her look like that, but she didn't listen to me," He cackled at his own joke, and Laxus chuckled as he saw a hairbrush hit him in the back of his head. "The big guy wake you up, Mr D?"
"What do you think?" Makarov laughed, and Laxus glared at him. Since when was it a known trait that he couldn't keep quiet in the morning?
"See you in a week-old man," Laxus waved his hand, hoping to stop the taunting conversation between his friend and relative. "Try not to die while I'm gone."
"Cheeky brat," Makarov retorted with a grin. "Have fun kids."
Bickslow gave a response in the affirmative while Laxus pulled open the door of the RV, climbing up the steps. It was as nice inside as it was outside, with a small table and seating nook, a cooking area, a bed at the back and a small room that Laxus assumed would be the washroom. Laxus absently wondered if either he or Bickslow would manage to fit in the shower, given their size. But still, it was a nice vehicle and would be more than enough for their week inside of it.
Laxus walked to the front of the vehicle and took the passenger's seat, grinning at the sight of Evergreen with an eye mask on while buckled into the seats surrounding the table. The seat was comfortable enough, and Laxus found himself smiling at the vehicle.
"She's nice, right," Bickslow grinned in reference to the RV. "Best one they had. Turns out four of us not having any fun for months means we save a lot of money."
"Glad to hear it," Laxus chuckled. "I half expected you to pull up in some crappy van with a piss stained mattress in the back."
"Oddly specific there Dreyar. Speaking from experience?" Bickslow grinned, and it was clear that his excitement was going to make him completely obnoxious throughout the week. As annoying as it was, Laxus wouldn't have it any other way. "So, just gonna put this out here. Sleeping situation. The bed at the back fits two, and the table folds away and makes another single bed. Obviously, they'll be two of us in the back. So we can either have Ever and Freed sharing the single bed 'casue we won't fit-"
"Like hell I'm sharing," Ever snapped from her seat. "It'll be cramped enough as it is."
"Or we take turns each night with one of us in that chair," He nodded to the seat Laxus was sitting in. "It reclines and turns slightly, so they'll be enough leg space. It's basically like a plane seat without anyone behind you."
"I'm sure we can manage with that," Laxus nodded. "Wouldn't wanna piss of medusa," A hairbrush hit the back of Laxus' head this time. "How many brushes do you have?"
"Five, they each do different things," Evergreen grunted from her seat, and Laxus chuckled when he saw her put the mask over her eyes again.
"How can they do different things?" Laxus asked.
"They just do, it's why they're all different shapes and have thinner and thicker prongs," Evergreen sighed. "Ask Freed when he gets here, I'm sure he'll know. And that way you won't be talking to me and I can get some sleep."
Laxus decided not to push his luck, knowing that his friend had enough strength to throw a hair dryer at his head, as well as the morality to do so. Instead he leant over to Bickslow, who had pushed the key into the ignition, and spoke softly.
"Why would he know much about hair brushes exactly?" He asked, and Bickslow looked at him with confusion before realisation hit him.
"Sorry, I keep forgetting that you know basically nothing about him," He laughed, turning the key, and starting the engine. It was a powerful machine, and Laxus appreciated it. "Freed's got really long hair, keeps it pretty well looked after too. Goes down to his ass, don't know when he last had it cut. It looks good on him though. Oh, and it's green. Like, bright green."
"Really," Laxus furrowed his brows. "Everything you've said about him makes him seem pretty… strait laced I guess."
"He is, kinda. He's just got green hair," Bickslow shrugged, smiling wide. "He's kinda contradictory when you get to know him. You'll love him, I know it baby."
Bickslow revved the engine unnecessarily, waved out the window with an overly loud 'Bye Mr D!' as he did so, and started to pull out from Laxus' neighbourhood. Laxus gave his grandfather a small wave in goodbye, and saw the old man return the gesture. He leant back in his comfortable chair and allowed the gentle vibrations of the vehicle moving to calm him, closing his eyes softly as the warm sun hit his face through the front window.
This was exactly what he had needed after the year he'd had, and even the idea of being in the RV with a stranger didn't put a damper on his mood.
~~~
It had taken about forty minutes to get into the town Freed had lived in, and only a little while longer to get to his apartment. The building wasn't the nicest looking place in the world, and Bickslow explained that Freed lived by himself and financed his own life through his student loan and a job. Laxus didn't judge him; that was an admirable thing to do and he couldn't look down on his because he lived in a slightly crappy apartment building.
Honestly, for some reason he had expected a spoiled kid.
"Could you go up and get him?" Bickslow asked, looking towards Laxus.
"Can't you text him?"
"Nah, he takes hours to answer any texts, so I never know if he actually reads them quickly or not. Don't wanna be waiting down here for ages," Bickslow shrugged, and then grinned. "Besides, it'll give the two of ya a chance to get to know each other before you get trapped in here with us. Makes it less awkward."
Laxus sighed, but nodded. He was almost certain that getting to know Freed was the only reason he had been chosen to find the man, but he couldn't prove it as he didn't know if Bickslow's claim about his texting etiquette was true or not. He shifted his way out of the RV, Bickslow shouting the man's apartment number and the code for the door as he did so. Once he closed the door, he could swear that he heard the two speaking in the van, but ignored it.
The apartment building wasn't run down, but it was lacking luxury. Paint was peeling off some of the walls and the elevator opened with a horrid creak. Laxus walked into it and pushed the button for the ninth floor.
A ridiculous bubble of nervousness entered his stomach as the elevator started to ascend. He had never been talented socially, and his communication skills were both blunt and often uncared for. This had meant he never truly got used to being around new people, and it took him a while to warm up with most people. And now he was going to be stuck in a pretty small RV for around a week with a man he didn't know. He knew that his friends were good judges of characters and they assured him that they'd get along, but Laxus still could be nervous about meeting him.
Once the lift had found the right floor, Laxus looked around and settled on the sixth apartment's door. He knocked it curtly, the sound echoing awkwardly in the hallway. Laxus fidgeted for a moment before it was opened, revealing Freed.
"Oh," The man said in a velvet smooth voice. "Hello."
"Hey," Laxus greeted. "I'm Laxus, Bickslow might have told you about me. He said to come get you."
"Of course," The man said, and offered him a smile.
It was a nice smile. In fact the entirety of the man was nice to look at. He had long green hair, as Bickslow had said, and it was tied up in a high pony tail. A few green strands had fallen down to frame his face, accenting his sharp features, and pronounced bone structure. His outfit portrayed a fit body, and the unassigned top button showed a small slather of a firm chest. He had piercing blue eyes, a small black mark high on his left cheek, and thin lips.
When his eyes flickered down, he saw that the man had two large sports bags at his feet, clearly his own luggage. Laxus was suddenly reminded of why he was there, and snapped out of his split-second trance.
"You need help with them?" He offered.
"I'm fine," Freed assured him. "Although you could hold this if you don't mind."
He reached for a shelf in his apartment and picked up a small plastic thermos, handing it to Laxus. The blonde took it and looked at it with confusion. "Doesn't it make more sense for you to hold your own drink. I really don't mind taking a bag."
"It's not for me," Freed explained, lifting his bags out of his apartment, and placing them down to lock the door. "I shared a morning class with Evergreen, and she was snappy enough at eight in the morning, let alone half six. I assumed she might need some caffeine."
"Yeah, both me a Bix got a hairbrush thrown at us already," Laxus laughed. "Probably a good call."
"I would have made the two of you one as well," Freed stated as they walked down the hall. "But I don't know what you drink, and I don't believe that Bickslow needs any help in being overly energetic."
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure my grandpa's neighbour is gonna complain because of the shouting," Laxus grinned a little as he called the elevator. His friends were a topic he could handle.
"I'm surprised he didn't try and get my attention by yelling from the sidewalk."
"Well, I'm pretty sure that the only reason he sent me up here is so we can talk without them being there," Laxus admitted, before wondering if it was appropriate to say so. Was it meant to be a secret?
"It makes sense," Freed nodded. "They haven't really told me too much about you. I know your name, that you're a year older than us, and that you went to college to become trained in sports science and physiotherapy. That's essentially it."
"Well, that's all true," Laxus said as he walked into the open elevator. "I haven't gotten a job in my field yet, so I took a temp job. But I'm still looking. Bix said you've got a job as well as going to college?"
"I'm a waiter at Blue Pegasus, a restaurant a few blocks away," Freed explained. "It's not the most interesting work, but the pay is enough to keep me stable. And sometimes I'll get a meal at the end of the shift for free, so I can't complain."
Laxus nodded, understanding the conflict of working at a job that doesn't thrill you without having the option of quitting. The elevator started to slide down, and a repetitive tone began to play in the small box. Neither man spoke, and Laxus would have expected the urge to fill the silence, but it didn't come. For whatever reason, he felt comfortable with not speaking when Freed was around, something that didn't happen to him often.
Thinking back, the last time he had been okay in silence with a stranger had been Evergreen.
They reached the bottom floor hallway of the building a moment later, and Laxus held open the front door for Freed so the man could walk out without dropping his bags. When they walked into the morning sun, Laxus found himself momentarily transfixed by the sight of the man under natural light.
He looked radiant.
His slightly paler skin seemed to glow in the sunlight, and his perfectly brushed hair shimmered in the light. His eyes even seemed to sparkle as he approached the comparatively dull vehicle that was their home for the next week. Laxus' grip on the thermos tightened slightly as he walked forward.
"Just opened the storage," Bickslow commented from the window. "Put your bags in there, so we have space."
Freed nodded, walking to the small storage cubby that was opened from the side of the truck. He placed his bags down and opened it, and Laxus walked beside him. Freed placed one of the bags into the RV's trunk equivalent, and Laxus lifted the other to do the same. It held a fair amount of weight to it, and Laxus found himself impressed that the man had managed to lift this and another bag without any difficulty. Maybe the bulging in his sleeves wasn't just vanity muscles, as Laxus had assumed.
"Thank you," Freed nodded towards Laxus, closing the storage space.
"It's fine," Laxus assured him.
The two men climbed inside the RV, being greeted by a still too cheery 'welcome to the party bus' form Bickslow. Laxus saw that, in his time in the building, Evergreen had taken the front seat and was reclining in it with the eye mask on and a blanket covering her body. He rolled his eyes, placed the drink in a cup holder on the dash, and looked back over the RV's interior. The only place you could sit while it moved were in the table booth that Freed was sitting at. Laxus took the seat opposite him.
As he got into the leather booth, he saw that Freed had taken out a novel and was scanning the paged with quick moving eyes. The sun was hitting his face just right and illuminated it in a damn impressive way. Annoyingly, Laxus blushed
"All aboard," Bickslow yelled. "Next stop, the Grand Canyon."
And, with a pleasant nervousness in his stomach as he looked at Freed, Laxus found himself excited for the journey.

The Girl Out of Time
Pairing: Bucky x Reader and Sam x Reader
Background: Willow Roffe was born and raised in Brooklyn. She lived her life as happily as she could with her two childhood best friends Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers. When they both left her to join the military she tried to continue with life but that didn't get to happen for her for the simple fact that she meant something to James Buchanan Barnes.
Rating: Story will be overall MATURE but not every chapter. There will be strong language, talk of both mental and physical abuse, some good ole angst, and smut. There will be a warning at the beginning of the chapter when it includes smut.
Chapter 26
Tumblr media
After Nat left the church Steve, Sam, and I went on to our hotel suite. I was quick to fall onto the couch. I felt so drained. Sam lifted my feet so he could sit down then placed my feet on his lap. Steve started pacing the length of the room. We had only been there for a few short minutes when a knock sounded on the door. Steve was quick to open it. In walked Sharon Carter looking completely frazzled.
"Steve. There's something you gotta see." She said quickly.
She grabbed the TV remote from the table then turned on the TV. It was already on the news channel. I bolted upright as I saw the building in Vienna with a giant hole blown in it. Many were injured in the blast. I pulled my phone out instantly texting Nat. Please let her be okay.
Tumblr media
I bounced my knee nervously as I continued to watch the TV.
"Authorities have identified the suspect as James Buchanan Barnes. The winter soldier." The news castor stated.
I shot to my feet turning to face Steve. He looked surprised but suddenly determined.
Tumblr media
I sighed in relief at Nat's text.
"Nat's okay. Why would he do this?" I asked Steve.
"I don't think he did." Steve said simply.
Sharon gave of what details she knew then the three of us set out for Vienna. When we arrived the place was still in total chaos. Steve sent Sam and I ahead into the hotel bar to wait for him.
"He's calling Nat." Sam said as we both sat at the bar.
We ordered drinks then waited on Steve to reappear. It wasn't long before he was standing next to Sam leaning on the bar.
"She tell you to stay out of it? Might have a point." Sam asked then took a sip of his drink.
"He'd do it for me." Steve said simply.
"1945, maybe. I just want to make sure we consider all our options. The people that shoot at you usually wind up shooting at us." Sam told him.
"I have no worries." I said simply then downed the rest of my drink.
Sharon suddenly appeared next to Steve. She kept her face forward as she spoke.
"Tips have been pouring in since the footage went public. Everybody thinks the Winter Soldier goes to their gym. Most of it's noise. Except for this." She slid a folder to Steve.
"My boss expects a briefing, pretty much now so that's all the head start you're gonna get." She added quickly.
"Thank you" Steve told her as he opened the folder.
"You're gonna have to hurry. We have orders to shoot on sight." Sharon said then walked away.
Sam finished his drink quickly then the two of us followed Steve back outside.
"Where to Cap?" I asked as we walked quickly down the crowded sidewalk.
Steve gave me the folder. I opened it to scan the page quickly. Romania. He's in Romania?
"What's the plan?" Sam asked as we climbed in the car.
"Looks like an apartment building. A bit run down. Sam you'll take the roof. Willow, I need you on top an adjacent building. You two are my eyes for any company." Steve ordered as he drove quickly.
"So you're gonna face him alone?" I asked softly.
Both men sitting in the two front seats knew I had all my memories of James back. They knew I understood the feelings I once had for him. Those feelings felt like a memory too but I still actually cared about him now. Steve looked at me through the rear view mirror.
"Yes Will. I think it's best I confront him alone. We don't know what kind of state he's in." Steve said softly but sternly.
"But we know for sure he remembers me and won't harm me. Don't you think it'd be safer if I was with you?" I asked.
"No" both men said in unison.
Steve's no was soft and understanding but Sam's was sharp and final. I slumped back in my seat. I didn't feel like I should be on the side lines. I remembered what James meant to me so everything we do now means so much more. It was just as important to me as it was to Steve but there would be no arguing with the Captain. I knew that much. So I sat silently in the back seat until we arrived at our destination. Steve and Sam both took a minute to suit up while I surveyed the area.
"There's a smaller building there. I'll take that roof." I told them pointing to said building.
Both men nodded in agreement. Steve left to head towards the building James was in leaving Sam and I alone.
"You still choose me right?" Sam asked softly.
I smiled up at him. I grabbed his shirt pulling him down so I could kiss him.
"Yes Sam, I may remember my feelings for James but they're just a memory." I told him.
He nodded then kissed my forehead. Once he took to the sky I hurried to the roof of my building. I perched myself on the edge so I had a perfect view of the entrance. Sam did that same on top the much taller building. It wasn't long before the vehicles started rolling in. This wasn't looking good already.
"Heads up Cap. German Special Forces approaching from the south." Sam said over the coms.
"Understood" Steve said simply.
I watched as the vehicles surrounded the building. More and more armed men got out. There's way too many.
"They've set the perimeter." Sam informed over the coms.
I watched the group form then kick in the front door.
"They're entering the building." I told them.
"They're on the roof. I'm compromised." Sam said quickly.
I looked up to see him fighting someone off then flying off the building. I stepped back from the edge so I wouldn't be noticed. I just had to wait for Steve's orders now. He was inside somewhere with James.
"Five seconds" Sam said as he flew around the building.
I held my breath. My anxiety skyrocketed as I waited.
"Three seconds" Sam said.
Please let them make it out of this.
"Breach! Breach! Breach!" Sam shouted.
I gritted my teeth as I listened to the chaos erupt in the building. I couldn't see anything but I could hear an array of different sounds. There was definitely one hell of a fight going on. As I waited for any sign or word something flew out of a window then landed on the roof a few feet in front of me. It was a backpack.
"What the hell?" I questioned aloud.
I walked over to it slowly. I kicked it to make sure it wasn't going to explode. When nothing happened I picked it up then stepped back against one of the stone walls. Another crash had me looking up to see a body jumping over to this roof. They landed in a roll then got to their feet quickly. It was James. He looked around most likely for the back pack.
"Looking for this?" I asked stepping around the wall so he could see me fully.
"Willow" he said in surprise.
"Hi Jamie" I smiled at him.
"Come on doll, I really need that bag." He said reaching out to me.
"I remember Jamie." I said simply keeping the bag in my tight grip.
His eyes seemed to light up as he smiled at me.
"That's fantastic doll but as much as I'm dying to kiss you breathless I really do need that bag." He said taking a step forward.
Before I could say anything else a man in all black tackled James to the ground. It was a instant fight. The moment James was able to break free he ran for the other edge of the building.
"Jamie!" I shouted.
He turned in time to catch the bag I'd thrown at him. He winked at me then jumped over the edge. The man in the all black, cat like outfit moved to follow him. I lunged forward knocking him to the ground but he was quick to get away from me. His only focus was James.
"Sam Southwest rooftop." Steve said through the com.
"Who the hell's the other guy?" Sam asked.
"About to find out." Steve said.
As soon as he landed on the roof I went over the edge to follow James. I could hear Steve close behind me. The chase was on as we all tried to catch up to James. I kept my eyes on the new comer in front of me. I knew he was hot on Bucky's trail. They jumped into an opening that lead into a tunnel. We ended up jumping right into traffic. Steve was right next to me as we ran around the cars. Sirens wailed behind us but we paid them no mind.
"Stand down! Stand down!" They yelled from behind us.
Steve jumped folding his body to lay on the shield as it hit the car's windshield. The car stopped then Steve rolled off the hood. He opened the door then pulled the driver out. I was climbing in the passenger seat as he knocked out the windshield completely. I held onto the dash as Steve sped around the other cars. I felt the jolt to the car making me look back.
"Cat guy is hitching a ride." I told Steve.
He instantly sped up then started to swerve trying to get the guy off the back of the car.
"Sam, I can't shake this guy." Steve said in frustration.
"Right behind you" Sam answered.
I looked behind us to see an army of police cars gaining on us. As they pulled up on each side of our car Steve started to swerve into them. We are so fucked for this.
"Steve there!" I shouted pointing at James.
Steve swerved the car driving right through the barrels to follow our friend. I watched in absolute awe as James grabbed hold of an oncoming bike knocking the driver off. He effortlessly turned in around then jumped on it taking off. It was one of the most badass things I'd ever witnessed.
"Shit" I breathed as the cat guy jumped on the back of the bike.
He tried his best to get James off of it but James was much better than that. With help of his metal arm he kept himself from crashing then kicked his attacker off. Just as we got to the exit of the tunnel an explosion went off.
"Get out now!" Steve shouted.
I didn't have time to think as I jumped out of the car instantly picking up in a run just as Steve had done. The car started to flip behind us as James was finally knocked off the bike a few feet in front of us. Steve tossed his shield knocking the attacker away from James. Once we reached him we both stood protectively in front of him. Seconds later we were surrounded by sirens and flashing lights then the war machine dropped in front of us. His arms were held out with his weapons at the ready.
"Stand down, now!" He shouted at us.
Steve sighed but put his shield on his back. Sam was led over to us at gun point.
"Congratulations Cap, you're a criminal." Rhodey told him.
As an officer grabbed each of us to put us in shackles the man in the black cat suit took off his mask. It was that Wakanda prince or king now that his father was killed in the bombing.
"Your Highness" Rhodey said with a small nod.

Tumblr media
  You and Jay finally had a day off and you guys were at Jay's. You guys were supposed to be watching a movie that Jay rented, but you guys were to concentrate on making fun of each other to pay attention to it. You both were on the sofa, your legs over his. "Says the guy who is obviously attempting to impress me all the time,"
      Jay gives you the side eyed. "When?"
     "Every time we have to chase down a suspect, you go and do extreme efforts,"
     "Sorry to break it to you baby girl, I've done that before you even arrived here,"
    "Oh, I know, but it's gotten worse since I've joined. You do realize putting yourself in harm's way doesn't do you any justice and won't get you laid you know, right?"
     He looked at you and mouths, oh and then pushed you off his legs, which makes you fall on the floor. You giggle and sat up thinking about a way to get him back. You smiled to yourself. You got up off the ground and straddled Jay's lap. His eyes were full of lust. You bit your lip, straining to hold back your lust for him. He moved his hand to touch your face, but you grabbed both of his hands and held them down. You moved down to kiss his lips and then slowly yoy moved down to his jaw and then you lightly graze my lips against his neck and he let out a small moan as you bit down on his neck. I forgot the reason, you was doing as you let my desire to get the best of him. Jay broke through my grip as he was much stronger than me. He quickly took my shirt off and started doing what you was doing to him but more aggressive.
     Your phone started to ring, but you didn't care as you took Jay's shirt off. The voice message notification went off as Jay got your shirt off.
     As you started to unbutton Jay's pants, his phone started to ring. You stopped doing what you did, looked at him knowing who was calling. You got off Jay's lap and let him grab his phone. He showed you the caller I.D and saw that it was Voight. He got his breath under control before he answered the phone while he answer the phone, you grabbed your phone and listened to the voicemail. You had a case that needed your help and Voight said the same thing to Jay. You put your shirt on and went to the bathroom and noticed that a couple of spots on your neck were red and started to bruise. "Shit,"
     You quickly opened a drawer, saying a quick thanks for your forgetful ass, leaving some of your makeup here. You quickly applied it to your neck as Jay came in the bathroom. "Think you can do that for me too,"
     You turned and saw that his neck was doing the same as yours.
----
     You walked into the casino with Jay and Voight eyed you two for a second before addressing the team. "Trade Casino,"
      Voight started walking towards the back and you looked at Jay and with a wink went. "Feeling lucky?"
     Jay's lips twitched up for a few second before he forced himself to hide it. You walked into the back and see multiple D.O.As. Antonio was already in there and he sees you. "Over here. They killed the damn errand boy too,"
     Your heart shattered when you saw the little boy. You guys saw walked over to where the security cameras were at it and watch them. Voight didn't take his eyes off the camera. "Surgical,"
     Dawson saw the moment the little boy came in. "They were startled by the boy."
     Jay saw the little details. "Weapons. Uniforms. Military, for sure. These guys are pros,"
    Voight looked at Lane, "I wanna copy of this in the Intelligence office before we get back,"
---
     We've been in intelligence for about an hour digging up anything your hands on. You put up a few different pictures on the board at the same Jay did. "All right, this is an illegal triad gambling den. It's one of the dozen that Vice think they operate in the area. Problem is they tend to shut down and pop up somewhere else quickly,"
     "Who's their competition?"
     Jay pointed at a picture. "Cermak Crew,"
    Antonio walked closer to the board, but leaned against your desk. "They got a lockdown on the illegal lotto in the neighborhood,"
    Jay pointed towards Antiono but then moved his arms. "They take the nickels and dimes, and the triads take the bigger cash,"
    Voight looked between you, Jay and Antonio. "This Cermark crew looking for a bigger piece?
   "They could be,"
   Lane walked up the stairs and into where we all were. "Alright. I went back seven days and downloaded all in-progress, and service calls in close proximity to the Chinatown quad. WE got three calls on suspicious vehicles. I ran the plates. Legit, Legit, but the third came back ghost. I put that plate into our lookout database and just got a text back with its location. 236 West First. Right back in Chinatown,"
     Jay walked back over to his desk and moved some paper around. "That's another trait gambling den. It looked like a karaoke bar from the outside, but they're playing pai Gow once you go in,"
    "Alright, let's go,"
    Jay offered to go into the den alone. The longer he was in there, the longer you worried, but you knew Jay could handle himself. About maybe ten minutes come comes out talking about how there are cops in there and now you are back in intelligence. Voight walked up to Jay and threw a file on his desk. "They're cops? This the guy you saw?"
    Jay picked up the file and looked through it. "Yeah, he had his gun in the traid's mouth,"
    You all looked at the file. "You know him?"
     Voight looked at you and nodded. "That's Jimmy Shi. We were partners when I first came up. Me and Jjimmy worked the gang unit with Alivin. Ivory tower recognized he'd be better served working undercover in Chinatown,"
    Al stood up from his seat and walked over to where you guys were standing. "Yeah, perfect place for him,"
   Voight reached for the file back and then addressed the team. "He's got his own vice squad now all Chinese cops."
    Jay stood up from his desk and shrugged. "All I can tell you is he was dressed like the guys in the video, and he was looking awfully cranked,"
   You walked over to your desk, leaned on it. "So why don't we put a tail on him, see what's what?"
    Voight didn't even entertain that idea. "Causee it ain't him,"
   You eyed him. "You sure on that?"
   "Yes, he's a cop,"
   "You're the boss,"
    Voight shot down any mention of Shi being dirty and that he'll talk to him. The team had no other choice but to agree mainly because you all trusted Voight. You and the rest of the team were waiting at sis' place. You and your father in the same car. Voight wanted to talk to you which you thought it was about Justin. "You know this whole trusting someone cause he's a cop is gonna burn you someday,"
    Voight just looked at you for a second before talking. "Well, I'll cross that bridge if needed,"
    Voight turned and looked over towards where Jay and Ruzek were at in Jay's truck. "Are you sure there isn't anything between you and Jay?"
    You rolled your eyes and looked at him. This protective dad is getting old. "Dad, I''ve told you, nothing is going on there and even if it was, it's none of your concern. I'm old enough to make my own decision and if I want to date someone, I will,"
     "It is, if it'll affect the job,"
    You were getting annoyed with this whole 'dating your partner will just cause problems' shit. You were done with that mindset. You can date someone and still be a badass and still do what it right. "It wouldn't. I know how to separate personal things from work things. Now, drop it,"
    Voight was about to say something, but dropped it and looked out the car. "Shy,"
     He tries to get out, but you held him back and watched him for a few second before opening your mouth. "We are already here, why don't just trail him and if it leads to nothing, then you can talk to him,"
    Voight looked at you and thought about what you were saying and he finally agreed. "Fall back. We are gonna put a tail on Jimmy,"
     We ended up following ship to a building and Antonio called in to Voight and told them that the rest of the vice team came in after we got there. We saw his team walking up to meet Shi and putting on masks. "We got 'em. Let them make an entry, "
     It was about a few minutes after the call from Antonio when they finally make an entry. "Everyone move in,"
     You grabbed your gun and your bullet proof vest and walked up to where Jay was still getting ready. You give me the 'be careful' look and he gives you one back. Voight fastening his vest and looked at all of us. "Antonio, you, Olinsky, and Atwater take the front. Me, Halstead, and Y/N will take the back,"
    We all nodded. I was going to take the lead, but Voight made me go last.
     
      Yeah, I'm the one who can't separate personal from work.
      You went to the front, and you have seen the others walk in and you went and busted into the main room of this place. "Chicago P.D,"
     You walked pointed a gun at another suspect as the team did the same.
   Voight pointed the gun at Shi. "Put down the gun,"
    Shi wasn't listening. Put it down,"
     After a few minutes of the suspect an intense staring contest and not listening he finally put down the gun and got on his knees. After he got on his knees, the rest of his team did too. While bringing them out of the buliding, Voight ripped of the mask and exposed Shi. "What the hell are you doing here, Voight?"
     Voight didn't even looked at him. "We got you for this robbery and four others,"
     "Robberies? We're here apart of a six-month operation to take down the leadership of the traid,"
     "Yeah? Then why are you all skulled up, Jimmy?"
     "I've been wokring this Chinatown detail for 11 years. They know my face. We were going to shake down the employees of that place to get the names on the traid. Now, at least put us in the cars, would you, please?"
     You were now in the back of the precinct after taking Jimmy out of the car and Jay went up to Intelligence. "What are you now Voight, Interal Affairs?"
     Voight looked at Shi. "We caught a robbery homicide case, and Intelliegnce prursed it. The gang in the video look a hell of a lot like you,"
     "I'm not dirty!"
    "Jimmy-"
    Voight was going to say something but Jimmy. "We were partners. Partners! And did I ever look sidesides at you? At Alvin? Not Once not when they came asking about Brownin. Not ever,"
    Jay comes back downstairs and into the back room. "There's been another robbery. They hit the pool hall Jimmy and Rick here stopped at eariler,"
    You were at the pool hall and every single person that was alive when you were in not even an hour before, were shot and dead. You and Dawson walked back to the hall after talking to witnesses. "Four masked suspects with rifles,"
     "Witnesses said that they could be gone and out without bloodshed but I guess thats not the style,"
    Voight looked back at Shi. "We saw you and Rick come in by yourselves,"
    "Yeah. We got a C.I inside here. He gave us the C.B.A address where you arrrested us He's the one that gots a new coin slot in his head,"
    "When you came out, you radioed your crew?"
   "That's right,"
   You talked before he could. "They're on your radio,"
-------
     You were back in the lobby in Intelligence talking about the details about the case with Shi. Voight looked at the board that had all the details on it and then looked back towards the team. "So we got a four men crew impersonating Jimmy's vice unit, freelancers, probably ex milltary, listening in on their radio calls and hitting vulnerable casinos as soon as they know Jimmy's left,"
    Dawson walked up next to Voight and looked at the team as well. "That's right so we should use that against them. Jimmy, why don't we have you and your team bait a fake count house with Olinsky and me acting as bankers? You guys radio amongst each other you got 200,000from some new den, and they're in the process of banding it. Once we're inside, we put out a fradulent 10-1 office-needs-assistance call, and you guys radio in, aboriting your surveilance to respond to the call and then we wait,"
    Jimmy was silent until now. "Yeah, with a sticky net,"
    "We tie this crew to the other robberies, we put 'em away forever,"
   While Antonio went to the court house to get a court order, you were in the back room of the precinct with Jay restocking everything and making sure everything that you need is in the veichle. For the time being it was just you and Jay doing it. "You know what we started this morning isn't over,"
    You smiled. "Obiviously. I mean I started it and I intend to finish it,"
      Jay winked at you and was about to kiss you when you heard footsteps coming down the stairs. You two quickly parted and you saw that it was Jimmy. "You look just like your mom,"
      Just hearing him compare you to your mom, pissed you off. You might looked like her not that where the simarillties end. "Too bad, I never got to know that,"
     You picked up a box and put it in the veichle and shut the door. You turned and saw he was looking at you funny. "Know what?"
     "You didn't know?"
    Jimmy shook his head at you. "No?"
     "She died a few months after she had me because she was too much of a drug addict who was always looking for the next fix instead of taking care of her kid,"
      You didn't say anything else. You just walked back upstairs leaving a confused Shi in the back room.
------
      You were now outside the fake count house with Voight, Rick, Burgess and Atwater while Jay, Antonio, Ruzek, and Al were inside the house. You didn't know what was being said as you didn't have a radio that had Rick and Jimmy had. After a few minutes of not knowing anything. Voight calls radios Al and you heard it. "Okay, Olinksy, call it in,"
      You heard the radio click on and Al's voice come through. "Offier calling for help, multiple offenders on scene. 10-1,"
      About ten minutes you saw a maroon SUV coming, you quickly got on the radio. "Here they come, A crown vic and a maroon SUV,"
     Voight was the next one to come over the radio. "Remember, we got to let them breach if we want to pin this one them,"
    "Roger that,"
    They got out the car and up to the door and before we could get a heads up to the team, they threw a flashbang inside the house. You and your team quickly jumped out of the car and ran over to the house. You drew your gun and started shooting as they started shooting at you. You dodge behind a park car and saw that there was a suspect running. You quckly grabbed your radio. "Suspect is on foot. I'm in pursuit,"

How to get a Driving License in Canada as a New Immigrant
Tumblr media
To enjoy Canada to the fullest, it’s a good idea to start thinking about how you will get around. Depending on where you’re from, you may or may not be allowed to start driving right away.
Each province has different rules surrounding driving with a foreign license, so you’ll want to pay close attention.
In this post, we’ve answered your top questions for how to legally drive a car in Canada as a newcomer. For brevity, we’ve focused on the six most popular provinces for immigrants in 2020: Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.
Can you apply an international driving license in Canada?
Your first question is most likely “can I drive on my foreign license in Canada?” and the answer depends on a few factors.
If you’re from one of the following countries and can prove you’ve driven alone for two years, then you’re eligible for an equal trade car license in all six popular provinces (unless stated otherwise). This means you won't have to take the knowledge nor road test and exchanging your current license is a fairly easy one.
These countries are:
Austria
Australia (except Quebec)
Belgium (except B.C or Manitoba)
France
Germany
Ireland (except Quebec)
Isle of Man
Japan (except Manitoba)
Netherlands (some exceptions within the country and not valid in Ontario and Manitoba )
South Korea
Taiwan
Switzerland
USA
United Kingdom
If your license is from one of these countries, you’re in luck. If your license is not, you can still get a local license, however, the process will be a longer one for you.
Note: Whether your license is from one of the eligible countries or not, it’s often a good idea to get a driving license extract (or DL extract) from your country’s license issuing authority as proof of your driving history and to validate your current license.
If you’re from an eligible country and have an eligible license, but are a student or don’t plan to take up residency in the province you’re traveling, then you’ll want to get familiar with the concept of an International Driving Permit, or IDP.
We’ll talk about IDP next: what it is and how to get one.
International Driving Permit
An IDP is a document that, along with your foreign license, allows you to drive in other countries for purposes of tourism. Not every country accepts an IDP, but Canada does. An IDP also translates your license into English and French, so it’s a good idea to get one if your license isn’t yet in English or French.
Generally if you’re a student from an eligible country, you don’t have to trade in your foreign license for the province’s license. You’ll be allowed to drive on your foreign license for as long as your study permit is active. Some provinces, like Alberta, require you to have a copy of your classes with you when you drive, so double check your province for local rules.
It is best practice to get your IDP before you leave the country where your license was issued and keep in mind that it generally lasts one year from the date it’s issued (unless your current driving license expires first).
Canadian License Requirements by Province
For the most part, when you move to a new province you can drive with your international license (if it’s a valid, full license) for the first 90 days unless otherwise specified. However, if you plan to take up residency in a specific province, you’ll want to look into exchanging your license as soon as possible.
Now we’ll cover some important things to know for each of the six provinces:
Ontario
Unlike most of the other provinces, you can only drive with a foreign license for the first 60 days while you settle down in Ontario. This is if you plan to become a resident.
The license types in Ontario are different from the types available in other provinces. Here’s a few of them you may want to be familiar with:
Class G: Allows you to drive any car, van, or small truck Class G1: Restricted license and must be accompanied by an experienced driver. Level one of graduating licensing Glass G2: Restricted license but you do not have to be accompanied. Level two of graduating licensing. Class M: Allows you to drive any motor vehicle, including a motorcycle. Class M1: First level of graduated licensing to drive a motor vehicle. Class M2: Second level of graduated licensing to drive a motor vehicle. Less restrictions than Class M1.
If your current full license is from an eligible country, you are allowed to exchange your license for an Ontario license at an Ontario Drivetest centre. There are two additional countries that are eligible for an equal trade:
Korea
New Zealand
If you are eligible, you still need to complete an eye exam to complete the exchange and bring the following:
Original ID that shows your legal name, date of birth and signature (passport, PR card) Your eligible international licence to turn in Proof of your driving experience (DL extract with proof you’ve paid for it) Applicable fees Application form
If your license is not from an eligible country, you will also have to take a written test and a road test. If you have less than two years of experience driving, you will have to take the G1 road test and wait until you have accumulated two years to take the G2 road test.

If you hold a license from an eligible country, you can trade in your license for an Alberta license by bringing the following:
proof that you live in Alberta
proof of residence in Canada
your current license to hand in
Proof that you have two years of driving experience (i.e., DL extract with proof you’ve paid for it)
If you can’t prove two years of driving experience, you will get a class 5-GDL until you can prove the two years.

Finals words about driving legally in Canada
Once you’re good to drive, you’ll be happy you invested the time to get familiar with your province’s rules. Remember that the rules are in place to ensure your safety on our often snowy roads.
