author's note 💌: eeee i love this request!!!! thank u anon for requesting; it's so cute!

cake tasting

“I’ve been waiting for this day since the moment I learned this existed,” Quinn beamed, his eyes fixed on the road as he exited the freeway. His right hand rested gently on your thigh, and you couldn’t help but grin, happy that he finally wanted to be involved in a part of the wedding planning process—even if today was all about cake.

With a playful tilt of your head, a mock tsk of disapproval escaped your lips as Quinn raised an eyebrow. “Shouldn’t you be eating healthy for your game next week? How about I eat the cake and you watch.”

“And watch you live out my dream?” he scoffed. “Yeah, the game’s not that important.”

“That game is gonna secure your spot in the playoffs, Captain,” you smirked, playfully poking his arm. You loved teasing him about his captaincy, like saying Aye aye, Captain whenever he asked you for a favor, or your personal fave, So when does the team give you your honorary eye patch and silver hooky thingy? To which he always responds with, Not that kind of captain, babe.

As Quinn pulled into the bakery’s parking lot, he cupped your cheeks in his hand, his face growing serious, feeling almost like a team huddle. His voice lowered, and his face drew close to yours as he laid out some sort of plan. “I’m gonna eat a lot of cake today, so much that I wore my stretchy pants-”

“Oh, the Lululemon ones that I bought you?” You got them for him as a Christmas gift along with other items. You were happy that he actually wore them outside the house for once.

“Yes those ones, but we need to stay focused.” You nodded intently, totally focused. “Jack is gonna call you later and he’s gonna ask you if I ate any of this cake today, and I’m gonna need you to lie.”

A burst of laughter escaped you. “You want me to lie to Jacky? About you eating cake? During our cake tasting? Because…”

“Because him and Luke have a bet going on that I’m gonna break my diet for this, and Luke said that if he wins we’re splitting the cash 50/50, so I really need you to lie, baby.”

Rolling your eyes, you opened the passenger door, Quinn doing the same on his side. “I really don’t understand you guys. Like, why not just be normal and bet on who’s winning the next Super Bowl or something?”

Quinn wrapped around the front of the car, intertwining his fingers with yours as you approached the bakery’s entrance. “Did that a few years ago, we each lost $700 to Luke.”

“Jesus, you guys are loaded. The last time my family and I had a bet, we each did $10 and whatever old gift card we had stowed away in our wallets. Apparently mine was from 2015 and the place it was for got shut down for rat poisoning? I don’t know,” you shrugged.

As the hours passed and the 20th cake flavor came around, Quinn felt like his stretchy pants were out of stretch, and you felt like you could take a nap right on top of the table. Cakes were not for the weak, let me tell you that.

“I feel like everything tastes the same now,” Quinn struggled to get the words out. Not because he didn’t know what to say, but because he was trying not to heave and talk at the same time.

“I feel like I can’t feel my legs,” you replied, a visible food baby proudly displayed on your belly.

Dipping your finger into the frosting of the pink champagne cake, guaranteed to be the most fanciest cake you’ve ever had, you swiped it across Quinn’s nose. “Oops,” you grinned. “I’m just so full; I must’ve twitched or something.”

Rolling his eyes, Quinn smeared the orange creamsicle cake across your face, as if you were donning eye black and dodging defenders past the 40-yard line.

“Oh, you’re getting it,” you laughed, swiping a finger across the blueberry with graham cracker crumble, a grandma’s dying wish, planting strokes on his chin and forehead. “Aw, don’t you look cute?” you teased.

He smirked, getting impossibly close. It was good that the wedding planner and cake baker were in another room chatting, or else they would probably be yelling at you two to get your hands off each other at once. “Wanna make a bet?”

“Hm, does it involve me losing thousands of dollars?” He shook his head. “Hundreds?” Another shake. “Any money?” One more. “Then you’re on, pretty boy. What’s your proposition?”

“We leave right now and you can lick all of this off in the car-”

“Amy!” you shouted for your wedding planner as she came stumbling into the room, afraid something was wrong. “We have to go; family emergency,” you pouted, really selling it. “I’ll see you next weekend, okay?”

“Oh, yeah, okay!” she nodded. “Take care of the family!”

“Will do!” you shouted, dragging Quinn behind you as if you were Lightning McQueen in any of the Cars movies. Boy, were you quick. Even Quinn was shook and he skated with some of the fastest hockey players around.

“I win,” Quinn whispered, his lips pressed to the crown of your head as you reached the car, pushing him inside.

“Yeah? Kinda seems like I’m the winner.”

the wedding rehearsal

“Oh, don’t you flower girls look cute?” you smiled, drawing your knees to your chest as you bent down to meet them eye-level. “You ready to walk the runway?”

“Daddy said this was a wedding,” Ella, your brother’s daughter, shyly replied, playing with a couple of petals in the basket.

“Wedding shmedding,” you grinned, earning giggles from the little ones. “Think of it as a runway, and you’re the models.”

“What about,” Grace, Brady and Emma’s daughter piped up, “it’s a runway and I’m the airplane?”

“Oh,” you said, eyes widening a bit before breaking into a giggle.

“That works too! Just don’t be afraid, okay? If it makes you two feel any better, Uncle Jacky has to walk the aisle and he can barely skate on two feet.”

“Hey!” Jack popped out of the line forming behind the three of you, a procession of earthy-toned dresses and black-and-white suits ready to rehearse for the big day. The sight made you want to cry. Everyone you ever cared about was here for you and Quinn, for your big day.

It brought you back to the moment you met Quinn, the moment your life truly began. You were friends with Emma, having met in college at Boston University where you also met Brady. You had just gotten out of a year-long relationship and were stressed over midterms, so Emma suggested that you get a “sex-tox” — a detox involving, well, sex. It sounded perfect at the time. Fuck a stranger, never see them again, release some stress, and live your best life.

But that’s kind of hard to do when that stranger is Quinn Hughes. You fell in love with him the moment Brady introduced you. Maybe it was the way his hand lingered in yours for a just a second longer than what’s considered a “normal” handshake, or maybe it was the way his eyes followed you throughout the bar like he was scared that you would come back to the table with another guy’s arm draped over your shoulder, or maybe it was the way he said your name, like it was made for his lips and his voice.

He was just so perfect and now you were marrying him. It all felt so much like a dream, like you’ll wake up one day and everything will be gone. But when you see Quinn laughing with his groomsmen, his eyes immediately finding yours, his arms flying around your body, hundreds of whistles and hoots coming from everyone around you as you tuned them out, your attention solely placed on the man you’ll be able to call your husband as little as tomorrow, you know that this is real, and he is yours, and this is peace.

the wedding day

This is a disaster. The centerpiece flowers are sky blue instead of columbia, your grandma wants to trade seats with William Nylander because she has this newfound obsession with Mitch Marner which would put William Nylander with your grandpa and the weird uncle that always gets way too drunk at weddings but will never admit that he has an alcohol problem, chalking it up to a “one time thing.” Even though we all know that he’s gonna do it again at the next wedding! And to top the shit-cake that is this day, your wedding planner decided to be selfish and break her water overnight, so now she’s in the hospital trying to push a tiny human out of her uterus while you’re here trying not to physically strangle every single person that comes to you with a question.

You were tired, and nervous, and your makeup looks terrible, and you feel bloated, and you don’t feel pretty enough to walk down that aisle, and you don’t feel pretty enough to be with Quinn, and why would he want to be with a girl that can’t even plan her own damn wedding correctly? And you just feel…defeated.

“Hey, Y/N,” Luke bounced through the door of your bridal suite, his hand hovering over his eyes.

“You don’t have to cover your eyes, Luke, you’re not the groom,” you muttered, fiddling with the ends of your hair.

“Right,” he chuckled nervously. “Um, so there’s a problem.”

You closed your eyes, sighing. You felt like your head might explode. What else are we going to add to this ginormous shit storm of a day? Let me guess, Cole already got shit-faced at the mini bar, or Nico got lost on the way here and that car held Jesper, Holtz, and Dougie, or oh! Did your brother get into conversation with Trevor on how he can perfect his alley-oop if he substituted Milano with him? Seriously, what else can get worse than this?

“We can’t find Quinn.”

You’re gonna throw up. Are you already throwing up? Because there’s this tingly feeling that’s bubbling in your throat, and you don’t know if it’s from the copious amount of champagne you consumed last night or the urge to find Quinn and murder him with your bare hands. I think it’s the latter.

Before Luke could say anything else, you dashed towards the door, his calls fading behind you. You didn’t know if you were running to find Quinn or to escape this hell hole for yourself. Maybe Quinn was onto something. Maybe this was a bad idea. I mean, were you that naive to believe that someone like Quinn would actually want to marry someone like you?

With your shoes discarded, you found solace on a rock overlooking a small lake near the venue. Your once pristine white gown was now engulfed in the grass, your disheveled hair was poking out of its metal claw clip, your mascara was noticeably smudged, and the tears wouldn’t stop streaming down your face no matter how hard you tried to stop it. You were nervous about the wedding, but I guess it doesn’t matter anymore since the groom is apparently missing and nothing else is working out. Ha! Now they don’t even have a bride. This is terrific.

With crunching leaves, you heard a small, “Hey,” behind you.

You turned slowly to find Quinn, the man of the hour, finally present. You didn’t say anything, fearing that your words would come out with a choke. You couldn’t stop crying.

Quinn settled down on the rock next to you. “I’m sorry for leaving like that, I just—had to clear my head for a bit. I’m a little nervous.”

“Are you getting cold feet?” you mumbled, scared to hear his answer. You knew he loved you, but you also knew that he would put people’s feelings way above his own. You didn’t want to marry him if he was having doubts.

He shook his head. “No.” His hands found yours amid the puffiness of your dress. “I don’t have a single doubt in my mind that you’re the woman I want to marry.”

“So why-”

“There’s like 300 people out there waiting to see us get married, and Jack’s already talking about us having a kid in the next couple months, and—it’s a lot, you know? You?”

You furrowed your brows. “Me, what?”

“Getting cold feet?”

You shook your head. “I’m tired,” you admitted, your voice breaking. “I feel like everything’s going wrong today. Amy’s out having a baby, the flowers are the wrong shade of blue, Grandma wants to sit next to Mitch Marner, I thought you left, and-”

“Hey, hey, hey,” Quinn cupped your face, wiping your tears with his thumbs, just as he has done time and time before. The gesture never fails to give you a sense of comfort. “Years from now, when we’re old and living in a house in the suburbs, and you’ll probably have an orange tabby cat on your lap, and we’ll be telling stories to our grandchildren about our wedding day, we’re not gonna remember the color of the flowers, or who sat next to Marner, or any of that, okay?”

You nodded.

“We’re gonna remember you and me. We’re gonna remember how much I love you. And we’re probably gonna remember us sitting on rocks, stalling our own wedding day.”

A giggle escaped you because this was all so ridiculous. Quinn was right; you’re not gonna remember everything that went wrong. You and Quinn—that’s all that matters.

You pressed a long, innocent, and probably salty kiss on his lips. He saw you in your wedding dress, a superstitious hockey player breaking a centuries-long superstition, but for once, you didn’t care.

“You ready to get married?” Quinn grinned, holding his hand out to you.

You nodded, taking his hand. “I’m ready.”

Can I request Harry x female reader smut based on the hide & seek sidemen challenge. Harry finds the reader and they think they can get a quickie in before anyone finds them but they get caught. Queue the funny hard launch and teases from everyone.

If you feel uncomfortable doing smut then Harry x female reader based on the holiday vs holiday vids. You’re invited to join them where a bond with Harry deepens, super cute moments that make it into the edit.

Hide & seek -W2S

Words: 0.8k+

Warnings: light smut, head (fem receiving).

In which the sidemen ask you to join their hide & seek video and you and Harry get up to no good.

a/n: I love this idea! (Also I know it’s not exactly like your request but I just started writing and sort of forgot lol)🤍

I've been with Harry for over three years now. We met during a YouTube event, exchanged numbers, went on a few dates, fucked, then he asked if I'd be his girlfriend, of course I said yes. Naturally I became good friends with the boys along with Talia, Faith and Freya. I've been in a few of there videos before and recently they asked if I'd be in a hide and seek, I immediately said yes.

Today is the day of the video. I woke up next to Harry. "Morning." I said groggily. "Good morning, sleep good?" He asked pulling me into his chest. I hummed "yea." We got up and out of bed soon after, got in the shower and got ready. I did my hair and makeup simple then walked into the kitchen to see Harry and grab some breakfast. He was fully ready, spreading butter over his toast. "Want some?" He asked over his shoulder. I nodded "yes please!"

Once we ate breakfast, we headed to the location of the shoot. When we arrived, after an hour and a half drive, Harry parked the car and we got out. "Oh my god, this place is crazy!" I said looking at the mansion. "Hey!" I said when I spotted JJ, me and him get along great, when I first started dating Harry he really made an effort to include me when we were at parties etc, which I really appreciated. "Hi, how are you?" He said pulling me into a friendly hug. "Good, good. You?" I responded. He smiled "Great!..." And went on to tell me all about some new music that he's been working on. Which I'm very excited to listen to.

They're filming "sidemen hide and seek in the most expensive house in London" so when everyone arrived the women who owned the house showed us around, also marking what areas were in and out of bounds. Then the camera men set up all of their cameras and filming began. "Ladies and gentlemen welcome to London's most expensive house, ever!" JJ began. "And we have a special guest, since we don't have Tobi we thought we'd invite someone else... y/n, since you loved her so much in the other videos!" JJ continued. The camera came up into my face, I smiled and waved. And everyone cheered. Then the video sprung straight into action, the boys immediately ran over to the massive zip line at the end of the hill below us. I stood next to JJ and laughed at their antics.

Soon everyone began hiding, I quickly found a spot in one of the rooms upstairs, it was small- a little bit like a wardrobe but could easily fit a few people. I sat on the floor, in the dark with my camera and waited. Soon I heard footsteps and stood up, then the door cracked open and I heard a gasp, "you scared the shit out of me!" Harry whispered. "Oh, it's you I thought you were JJ!" I said just as quietly. He stepped into the room. "You know... everyone's outside..." Harry said with a smirked. My mouth dropped into an O shape. "Harry!" I whisper, shouted and pushed my elbow into his chest. He slowly made his way down and onto his knees, then raised his eyebrows. I sighed then cheekily smiled "go on then." I whispered. His smirk grew bigger and he quickly pulled down my skirt along with my knickers. I gasped suddenly at the feeling of his tongue running through my folds. I grabbed his hair hard with my hand as he continued.

He stood up, smirk still plastered on his face. "Thank you, I'll remember that later." I said quietly into his ear and he groaned slightly. Suddenly the door swung open. Me and Harry both jumped back and our backs hit the wall. JJ along with Ethan and two camera men stood in front of us, thank god I'd already pulled my pants up. "Ha! Got ya!" JJ exclaimed. But Ethan looked at us with a funny face, "uh, what were you too doing in here?". I took in an unsteady breath "hiding?" I quickly replied. "You sure?" He said cocking a brow. "Yup." Harry said then moved past the boys and I quickly followed.

"Your hairs looking a little messy Harry." Ethan shouted after us with his signature laugh. After the video ended Ethan informed the rest of the group of what he'd seen and they immediately began teasing us. The teasing took a long time to die down but to be honest me and Harry both thought it was pretty hilarious.

Summary: Billy's always been close with you but he never realized that you've filled a hole in him until you ignore him after he unknowingly broke your heart. His loneliness drives you to get you back.

Warnings: strong language, angst, fluff, mentions of abuse, mentions of billy being a player (i guess), mentions of smoking, mentions of not wanting to live, fighting in public, crying, sweet happy ending, friends-to-lovers (kind of)

Word Count: 2,104

Request: Hi! Can you write a Billy fic, the reader is fell in love with Billy, so she always gets his attention, cheers him up, brings him food/cute stuff, comforts him when Neil abuses him. Billy loves the attention from the reader but still flirts with other girls because he thinks he doesn't do relationship then reader finds billy kissing someone else and it broke her heart then she started ignoring him and then billy realizes that he misses her and likes her to be his. Please it make it super angsty but a nice sweet ending! Pretty please. Thanks and Have a nice day! 🎊🎊

A/n: Whaat? Two Billy fic in one day?? Clearly I have nothing better to do with my time and love this boy... plus I did say I would post these requests as I finish them so tada

Billy Hargrove Masterlist II Stranger Things Masterlist

Billy loves the attention. It’s why he plays his music loudly when he drives, why he openly flirts with practically every woman he sees, and why he walks with such confidence in his step. It makes everyone in the room turn their gaze to him, and he loves it. When he met you, his feelings were indifferent about how you tried to do things to get him to notice you and keep talking to you.

The way you became persistent to have his attention ended up making him get closer to you than he has with any other woman. People might say that he considers you a friend. And perhaps he does.

You always manage to cheer him up when he’s in a foul mood at school, whether it’s by talking until you go into a rant about some teacher or some girls that have pissed you off, or by bringing him samples of treats you had baked the previous night at home for him to taste. Not to mention that he’s kept some of the gifts you’ve gotten him, despite him telling you how you don’t have to do that.

Yeah, maybe he’s gotten close to you. It’s why he didn’t try and push you away when you found him sitting on a park bench with a bruised cheek at night, recovering from a ‘rough handling’ from his father. After that, he sought comfort in your presence whenever his father hit him.

But Billy never saw anything going further with you. He always thought he wasn’t the kind of person that does long-lasting relationships. He doesn’t think he could commit. And after everything he’s been through with you, how close he’s gotten to you, he doesn’t think he could pull his moves on you.

So, he continues to flirt with girls, doing what he does best and getting them to smile and laugh at his witty comments, not thinking that it would affect what he has with you.

Until you just disappear.

He notices one morning how you’ve stopped meeting him at his car in the mornings before school, how you never seem to find him in the hallways anymore or in his secret smoking spots. You don’t look at him during the classes you have together anymore. Not even to share in a funny experience or an inside joke.

At first, he didn’t care. He told himself that perhaps without your constant presence, he’d have more time to himself and his own doings. He won’t have to deal with your ranting anymore.

Then, he started to feel small pangs of loneliness. Without you, his life felt quiet and he can’t remember when last he smiled and laughed genuinely. Without you there to comfort him after his dad hit him, Billy really felt like he had no one in the world. He would wait for you to come to that park bench, but you never came. And he asked himself why you were being so cruel to him?

He tries to drown his loneliness with music, but it only makes him think about the times he would make you listen to every tape he had as a way to ‘teach you what real music is’. It would make him remember how you would laugh as he drummed his hands against his thighs with the drum line of the song. His room felt too quiet now without you, no matter how loud he would blast his music, annoying Max in the other room.

As people file into the school building on Monday morning, Billy leans against his car, staring down at the lighter in his hand. It was a gift from you after his last one died and it has never let him down since you gave it to him. Now, he’s forced to think about you again every time he lights a cigarette.

Now, thinking about how it feels like you’re ignoring him, it makes him angry. He feels his blood starting to boil in his veins, thinking about how no other girl could manage to fill the empty space you left in his life. He’s angry that you didn’t even give him a head’s up or a reason for just flaking out on him.

He lifts his head after stuffing the lighter in his pocket and immediately spots you walking towards the school building. Quickly pushing himself off his car, he rushes forward, determined to not go another without you acknowledging him.

“Did I do something wrong?” he practically shouts, slipping in front of you and making you look at him for the first time in a week. “Or is this just a new, bitchy side to you?”

Your lip flares in a snarl, your eyes narrowing at him as you step around him. “I don’t want to talk to you,” you mutter, purposefully walking into his shoulder as you pass him.

But it doesn’t make him back down.

His hand shoots out to grab your arm, pulling you back, and giving you a stern look as his grip tightens. “Really? Because I used to struggle trying to get you to stop following me like a fucking puppy,” he snaps, letting your arm go when you pull it out of his grip.

“I doubt you’ll have trouble finding a replacement for me following you around, if my absence bothers you so much. Seeing as how you’re constantly flirting with anything in a skirt,” you shout back at him, adjusting the strap of your back over your shoulder as you attempt to walk away from him again.

“Oh, I’ll be fine finding a replacement for you. But who are you going to be following around from now on?”

“Fuck you, Billy,” you shout over your shoulder for the entire school to hear.

Your cuss at him doesn’t feel like a joke. It feels way too serious for him. And it dawns on him that this is not some kind of banter between you two. He’s done something that deeply upset you and he’s not sure what it is so he doesn’t know how to fix it. He doesn’t even know why he wants to fix it.

Throughout the day, he’s staring at you when you’re in sight, his knee bouncing up and down as he waits for it to dawn on him what he did.

Fuck, he just wants you to look at him and smile again. He just wants you to meet him by his locker to rant about whatever is on your mind. He just wants to spend those quiet moments at night on the park bench with you again.

He wants you.

He misses you.

“Fuck,” he hisses at himself in his car on the way home, hitting his steering wheel before turning it to make a U-turn right in the middle of the road. His foot practically on the floor, he zooms to your house and he doesn’t intend on leaving until he has you in his life again.

Arriving just in time to see you reach the front door, he comes to a screeching halt in your driveway and flies out of his car, slamming his door behind him as he walks towards you.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” you shout, dropping your bag at the front door before storming towards him. “What don’t you understand about ‘I don’t want to talk to you’?”

“I’m not going anywhere until you tell me what’s pissed you off so much,” he firmly says, standing in front of you and staring down at you with a harsh glare.

You shake your head, scoff in disbelief, and run your hands over your face. “God, you’re so stupid sometimes. Is that what Rachel finds attractive?”

“Who the fuck is Rachel?”

“Rachel Smith! The girl you were making out with against your locker last week,” you shout up at him.

Then he realizes what this is all about. It makes his face fall and he takes a deep breath as you laugh to yourself, turning your eyes down to hide the tears welling up in them.

“I thought you cared about me. I thought…” you trail off, shaking your head and looking up at him as you swallow a hard lump in your throat. “I thought that maybe you saw something in me that no one has ever seen in me before. I fell in love with you for that, thinking that maybe you’d feel the same way about me even if you say that you don’t do relationships. I thought that maybe you would change your mind. But it seems that I was just as stupid as every other girl you play,” you say, your voice the softest he’s ever heard.

A tear falls down your cheek, making Billy realize that he’s hurt you. He’s broken your heart without even meaning to do that. He would never intend to hurt you when all you’ve done for him is heal him. If he had known your feelings before, he would never have kissed Rachel.

Would he?

If it meant that he would lose you, then of course he wouldn’t have.

When he doesn’t say anything, you turn around to walk away. But he doesn’t want you to leave.

He grabs your wrist to stop you. Only, this time his touch is gentle and you can feel the desperation in his hold. You can’t bear to look at him now, fearing that this is just a ploy to get you to let him back in your life. The thought that he might be trying to play his tricks on you makes your head drop between your shoulders.

“Please let me go, Billy,” you beg, shutting your eyes and letting more tears roll down your cheeks,

Billy shakes his head, knowing that you can’t see it, and takes a small step towards you. “I can’t,” There’s no more shouting between you two and the atmosphere has changed, making your head crane slightly so you can see his figure out the corner of your eye. “You have no idea how miserable I’ve been without you there beside me. How lonely I felt,” he says, his voice breaking slightly as he takes another step forward.

It makes your head turn to face him fully, your throat closing up when you see that he’s close to tears himself.

“It always felt like something was missing in my life. I just never realized that it was you until you left,” he whispers, turning you around and letting go of your wrist as he raises his hand to wipe a tear off your cheek. “If this past week is what it’s like living this life without you, then I don’t want to live.”

“Don’t say that,” you choke out.

“Why not? It’s true.”

Your gaze falls, but his other hand comes up to cup your other cheek and he steps closer to you, making your hands rest on his chest. He makes you look at him, and this is the closest you two have ever been. You’ve often thought about what the build-up to a kiss with him might be like, that it would involve being this close to him. You just never thought that possibility of it happening to you would be in a situation like this where you’re crying.

“Fuck the other girls. They can’t begin to make me feel like how you make me feel. I want you.”

You shake your head, almost not believing his words as you cast your eyes down again. God, you really hate him seeing you cry.

He leans forward, pressing his forehead against yours, his eyes fluttering shut just as yours do, and small pleas falling from his lips. “Please, (Y/n). Please forgive me,” he whispers, and you almost don’t hear his words.

“You’re sorry?” you ask, lifting your head to press your forehead a bit more against his.

“So fucking sorry.”

You’re quiet for a second, only letting out a shaky breath before you snake your arms around his waist and stepping into his chest. “Don’t do it again.”

Billy smiles at your words, wraps his arms around your shoulders, and pulls in closer to his body. “Wouldn’t dream of it.”

As he stands there in your front yard, his arms around you and yours around his, he feels that empty space inside him start to fill up again. It’s like someone has taken a pencil and filled out the missing part of a picture, colored in the empty, outlined shape.

No one could have filled that space as you do. No one but you.

morning dew be damned - kim mingyu

member | mingyu x reader

genre | meet-cute, nonidol!au, strangers to lovers au, crack/humor?

word count | 1315 words

synopsis | why was morning dew romanticized in writings so much? all it did for you was make you slip and fall for a man you just met.

warnings | cursing, kkuma’s a bitch but also the best wingdog(?)

notes | I FINALLY. FUCKING. FINISHED. my first attempt EVER at a meet cute so pls bare with me if this sucks 🥲 i actually wrote this bc i saw this super cute guy at the park during my morning run the other day and i was like “i wonder what would happen if i actually had the balls to talk to him” and hence this fic was born LMAO i’m not fully satisfied with the result so i might rewrite it in the future but hope you enjoyed!!

It was the same every morning. At exactly 7:45 am, your alarm would go off and you would get ready to go running. You always made sure to wear the same hat. It was one of a kind, a custom made hat you made back in high school with your friends.

Your local park was perfect for morning runs. There was plenty of shade provided by large, looming trees, benches for resting, and a smooth, paved cement floor. Today’s weather was nice, rays of sunshine peeking through a few clouds as the sky and the rest of the world slowly began to wake up and greet the day.

Pulling on your headphones, you started a light jog as you made your way through the park when you noticed an unfamiliar figure sitting on your usual bench. You run so early in the morning, there are only a handful of people who you see regularly and the stranger was not one of them. Curious, you slowed down as you pulled off your headphones to see who it was.

Even from behind, you could tell that the stranger was tall. He had broad shoulders, and you could see his long legs outstretched in front of him. His heels were grounded on the floor, and he swung the rest of his feet side by side, the top of his shoes touching and making a soft click sound. You smiled, thinking that the action was quite unfitting for a man built like himself, and found it endearing.

“Excuse me, I-” You choked on your words the moment you saw the stranger’s face. When your eyes met, you felt your heart catch in your throat. The man sitting in front of you was definitely sculpted by the gods themselves; his sharp eyes twinkled as they looked into yours, and his lips and oh my god his jawline- How could someone be this attractive?

“Is everything alright?” The stranger asked. You mentally shook yourself out of the daze you were in, and smiled. Even his voice was attractive.

“Yeah, sorry. It’s just-” You fumbled for your words, suddenly nervous because of the attractive man in front of you. “I’ve never seen you around before so I was wondering if you were new to the neighborhood or…”

He smiled. “Yeah! I’m new, my name’s Mingyu, by the way.” You shook his outstretched hand and returned his smile as you introduced yourself.

“Nice to meet you, [Name],” there was an awkward pause before he motioned to the empty spot next to him. “Would you like to sit down?”

You glanced down at your watch. You still had 9k steps to complete, but how could you say no to having a conversation with the most attractive man you’ve ever met in your life? “Sure.”

After taking a seat, you took off your baseball cap and set it down to the side before running a hand through your hair, trying to make yourself presentable.

“I like your hat. That’s a really cool design I’ve never seen before, where’d you get it?” He asked, a sweet attempt at starting a conversation.

“This old thing? Oh thank you, it’s actually custom made! When I was in high school, my friends and I saw this cool vintage shop where they personalize hats and shirts and stuff for you, so we all got matching hats. I was actually the one who drew the design,” You said, a hint of pride in your voice. You loved to talk about the story behind your hat, it was one of your favorite stories to tell.

Mingyu nodded and smiled. “That’s really cool. So I’m guessing you’re an artist?”

“Kind of? I draw for fun, but I major in journalism,” You shrugged. “I’m taking a gap year right now because of finance stuff but I’m hoping to return this upcoming fall so I can get my master’s and get a stable job. What about you?”

“Me?” Mingyu pointed to himself and you nodded. “Well, I’m a film major, and I recently started working as a producer for this upcoming film and- hey that dog just snatched your hat and is running away.”

You turned away and saw a white blur running away at high speed, with your navy baseball cap in its mouth. “KKUMA WHAT THE FUCK?!”

Before Mingyu could fully process what was happening, you bolted out of your seat and chased down the white, fluffy dog that was now almost on the other side of the park. Although he couldn’t make out what you were saying, he could definitely hear you screaming and yelling at the tiny dog.

Mingyu’s body moved on its own and he broke into a full sprint, his long legs allowing him to have longer, more powerful strides than your own. Soon enough, he passed you with ease and if you weren’t so out of breath, you would’ve laughed at how comical everything seemed.

With extra force in your step, you jumped at Kkuma, preparing yourself to (gently) tackle her–but morning dew be damned. You silently cursed out every work of literature and its author that has ever romanticized the morning dew on blades of green grass as Kkuma easily jumped out of your grasp and you slid sideways–on your stomach–at least 3 feet before you stopped.

“GET THAT FUCKING DOG,” You yelled at no one in particular. Mingyu kept running, holding back a laugh as the white dog continued to sprint down the asphalt like it was nothing. You got back up quickly and caught up to Mingyu and you two continued to chase down Seungcheol’s dog.

This time, it was Mingyu’s turn to take a leap at the dog. Needless to say, it was a fruitless attempt and resulted in him rolling in the wet grass similar to you. And to his luck, he even got a couple blades of grass in his mouth. With a look of disgust, he spit out the vegetation and continued to run.

As you ran after the dog, you suddenly remembered why you liked to run so much. This was it. The thumping of your racing heartbeat in your ears, your erratic breathing and that rush of endorphins that you can almost feel in your system.

Just as you thought were getting the hang of it, Kkuma abruptly paused and dropped the hat. She looked at you and Mingyu who were now doubled over, each trying to catch their breath, and barked. After a single bark, she ran to Seungcheol, who you could see waiting in the distance and you inwardly cursed out your friend and neighbor.

Now that the runner’s high was wearing off, you felt exhausted. You collapsed on the floor and Mingyu followed your example, spreading out his limbs into a shape resembling a starfish. You felt a little lightheaded as you felt blood rush back into your head and you tried to even out your breathing.

“Is… is your hat okay?” Mingyu asked, still slightly out of breath. His random question had you giggling that soon turned into peals of laughter as you gripped your stomach because of how hard you were laughing. Mingyu joined in on your laughter, and soon, the two of you were just rolling in the grass, laughing your asses off.

You wipe your tears of joy away and glance at Mingyu, who’s looking up at the sky with a bright smile and the sight of him makes your cheeks heat up. And no, it wasn't from the weather or the workout you just had. The fast thumping in your chest seemed to speed up and you suddenly felt like floating, your heart soaring above the clouds.

This definitely wasn’t because of your runner’s high.

reblogs and feedback is always appreciated ^-^

What are your personal favorite facts about justin? Like little niches and sweet little things about him? This is my favorite question to ask blogs since it’s so sweet so i hope it makes sense!

This is such a great question! Thank you so much for sending this ask 🥰

The following is a non-comprehensive list of some facts & stories about Justin that I find poignant and contribute to why I think he's a great person:

He's got a dry, sarcastic sense of humour. One of my favourite Justin quips came during a post-practice presser. Interviewer: "How is Zion fitting into your Offense?" Justin: "...hopefully at Right Guard".

Honorable mention: that time a reporter asked Justin during a presser if he lifts weights and Justin replied "Does it not look like it?" after a hilariously awkward silence. 😂

He seems to love and care for animals. I love the story of him rescuing two kittens whilst at Oregon and nursing them back to health before rehoming them. He did that all whilst seemingly juggling his academics and football which I think is pretty darn incredible and shows his nurturing side.

Also, according to his Mum, Holly, as a kid Justin would try to bring various animals home as pets. I just find it super adorable to imagine a little Justin eagerly presenting some creature to his Mum asking if he can keep it, promising to take care of it. This is even more cute to me knowing how he rescued those kittens.

He cares deeply for his family and seems very family-oriented. I absolutely love that during a PAC-12 Media Day interview where he was asked about some of the things he wanted in life, the first thing he said was "get married, be a great father, take care of my family". No mention of wealth or any materialistic things - only love and relationships.

He puts his shopping trolley back, which is the ultimate human goodness litmus test. I also find it hilarious that he straight up made Gabe his son by scolding him and telling him to go get his trolley and put it back after seeing Gabe try to abandon it in the car park. Justin just appreciates when things are in order and people do the right thing, as do I.

Also see that bit of Justin's mic'd up video where he calls out Cortez Broughton for his shitty parking lmaooo.

The fact that he moans softly after every throw and you all know damn well why I love that 👀.

He has an eclectic taste in music but favours Classic Rock which is due to his Dad's influence. I love this bc I too have a soft spot for Classic Rock bc of my Dad. Basically what I'm saying is that we're soulmates.

The fact that he's a literal millionaire and still thinks that Whole Foods is too expensive 🫰

Also that time Justin said fuck it to getting a professional haircut during his rookie year bc he deemed that "too expensive" too. Someone take this man to an ATM and show him his account balance please!

His penchant for movie quotes. I relate to this seeing as my entire sense of humour consists of pop culture references and silly movie quotes. I grew up with 3 brothers, can you tell?

He loves fishing. I love fishing. In fact, I spent my entire childhood in waders fishing Scottish rivers with my dad. I'm also dating a man whose father runs a successful fishing tackle business so you could say that I'm a bit obsessed.

So that's just a few things that I love about Justin with a few facts to go with. I hope that was along the lines of what you were hoping for 🩵

Hiii! I know I’m a bit late but I just wanted to say that I loved your Nuada HCs! Like literally made my heart melt they were so cute! 🩵

Anyway, I was wondering what kinds of activities you think he’d enjoy doing with his s/o. Personally, I see him as being very into nature (especially secluded wilderness uninhabited by humans) but I wanted to hear your thoughts! ⭐️

Do you see him as a dog or cat elf?

Would he be down to spend a lazy day in bed cuddling his partner?

What would he do for his partner during a holiday? :)

Hi! Thank you so much, I appreciate your words a lot 💜 I'm happy that there are many people who want to smooch our elf prince. 🧝 And sorry for the delay on this one!

Now, onto your questions!

Tags: Gender neutral Reader, headcanons, sfw, no warnings!

What kind of activity would Nuada enjoy doing with you?

I agree with you a lot on this one! From what I understood from the film, elves are tied with nature and share a deep connection with it. It would be natural (ha-ha) for him to want to spend time with you there! And of course, the more secluded from humans, the better. It doesn't necessarily have to be super tough hikes (although he would enjoy them and would have no difficulty conquering steep hills or getting lost in thick forests) - he understands that you may not be built for that and takes great pleasure even in taking a calm walk through the woods or a park.

Just imagine him walking next to you (so he can protect you if anything happens), telling you stories of the spirits who live in the wilderness, occasionally touching the bark of ancient oaks and beech trees with reverence while listening to them talk. You would have the privilege of knowing the language of the forest thanks to him. 🌳

Is he a dog or a cat elf?

I'm a bit torn on this one. I think he definitely has a soft spot for all kinds of animals (think of the scene where he slaughters the police officers, but leaves the dogs alive). I believe that he has great respect for all things relating to nature. That said, for the kind of life that he lives, I believe he could enjoy a dog companion that fights with him and accompanies him on his adventures! As for cats, I can see him having a horde of stray cats that live in his nest in the sewers, maybe cuddling up to him while he studies his next move or tinkers with his elvish technology. They just like spending time around him because he has a peaceful presence and spares them treats from time to time. In turn, the cats get rid of the rats, so it's a favorable deal for both parties.

Would he be down to spend a lazy day in bed cuddling his partner?

If he cared about you so much to consider you his partner, I believe there is little he wouldn't do for you! If you're feeling tired, are sick, or simply want to spend time with him away from the chaos of the human world, he would take you to his lair and cuddle you there, keeping you fully to himself. You could also convince him to spend time in your home, teaching him about human technology or entertainment to show him that humans are capable of creating something beautiful, and not just destruction.

What would he do for his partner during a holiday?

I think he would honor elvish tradition and give you gifts or partake in traditional elvish holiday festivities with you! His culture is sacred to him, and nothing would make him happier than sharing that part of him with you. He weaves flower crowns out of rare flowers for you, dances under the stars on summer nights and even has a weapon crafted for you, such as a small knife, in the event he is not there to protect you (although he never lets you out of his sight, if possible).

Of all human holidays, I bet he'd enjoy Halloween the most. Going around scaring humans? The fashion? Seeing you dressed as a mystical creature? He's all for it!

If you liked my writing, it would mean the world to me if you reblogged the post or left a comment. 🥰

#feel freee to add your ideas on this one!!#nuada x reader #prince nuada x reader #nuada x you #prince nuada x you #hellboy 2 #hellboy 2 imagines #nuada imagines #nuada imagine #mywriting

hi everyone! sorry this took me so long, i got super super busy with school 😭 i'm on break right now for the next few days and am planning on hopefully spending it working on fic stuff! anyway here's the misatzu picnic + baby sai i promised!

Mina sighed as she sunk into her office chair. She had just finished a long surgery, and while the patient had made it through, Mina was still exhausted. The day had started with a long meeting at six am, then Mina’s surgery had lasted pretty much the rest of her day. Now with only about an hour left, she was more than ready to leave.

“Doctor Myoui?” Mina held back a groan when she heard a voice followed by a knocking on her door. “Come in.” Mina muttered, holding back another groan when she noticed it was the newest surgeon. While she was a talented, well trained individual, she was always nervous running her own surgeries. Since starting, any cases assigned to her ended with Mina running the surgery and the new surgeon “observing”. Mina had been fine with it at first, but now six months in, Mina was tired of doing someone else's job.

“I have a laminectomy tomorrow morning, but I have never done one on my own, could you possibly assist me with it?” Mina remembered “assisting” with a laminectomy three weeks ago, and during the entire procedure, she was slow and made an effort to make sure the new surgeon understood everything she was doing. She would be fine observing and making sure that mistakes were avoided whenever possible, but she didn’t want to do another surgery that wasn’t actually her responsibility.

“Yeah sure.” But Mina was too tired to argue with the woman. Even if it meant they would probably end up in the same position next week.

“Thank you! It’s at five.” Mina wasn’t planning on coming in until around ten the next day, but she guessed now she had to come in early. If she wasn't exhausted before, the now looming early morning made it even worse.

Once she was alone, Mina slumped back into her chair. Thankfully, she was finally done for the day, all she had to do was log her time and then sign off, and she could leave.

When she opened her computer, Mina couldn't help the little smile on her face at the little picture sitting next to her computer. The picture showed Sana and Tzuyu holding hands, Sai on Tzuyu’s shoulders after a long day at the local amusement park. Sai was half asleep on Tzuyu’s shoulders, a tiny smile on her face, Sana had the biggest smile, and Tzuyu had that goofy little smile she would give whenever someone said something funny. Mina had gotten the photo sent to her by Momo, as she had been working the full day of the trip. Even if she hadn't been there, seeing her family so happy made her happy. They had plenty of photos together, given Sana’s proclivity towards taking photos, but Mina was particularly fond of that particular photo. Mina was interrupted when she heard her phone buzz.

hi baby, we're at the park 😊 tzuyu got us a super nice spot, it's by the pond near the entrance closest to our house! can you pick up a little treat for sai-chan on the way? she was being so sweet and adorable earlier 🥹 i'll send you the video i took! see you soon 💟

Mina didn't even need to look at the called id to know that it was Sana. Sana always sent tons of silly emojis, no matter how old she was. Mina would never tell her she found it really adorable.

we can't just give sai sugar for being cute, i don't think that's responsible parenting

please 🥺 she promised to pick up her toys in the living room!

Mina giggled at the response, especially at the next text she got from Tzuyu.

do not get sai sugar, sana gave her cookies after lunch, she's just trying to spoil her

so i shouldn't stop at that bakery you like right next to the hospital and get two chocolate breads on the way home?

Mina giggled at her tease. Even if Sai had already gotten cookies after lunch, Mina was going to get her a little treat. She was already planning on getting a little dessert for Sana and Tzuyu, she tended to do that on days that were hard, and it would be evil to not get something for Sai too.

… fine…

Mina giggled at the response. Truthfully, they probably should be more strict with Sai’s sugar intake. Sai, like most four year olds, adored pretty much anything sweet. And while the occasional little treat was fine, they had been caving into her demands a little more than usual lately. Not the best example to be setting, but it was hard with the circumstances.

Finally logged off of her computer, Mina took off her lab coat and slipped on the warm jacket Tzuyu had gotten her for her birthday. The weather was starting to get cooler, and as Sana and Tzuyu always teased her about, Mina got cold easily. She tried to make a beeline to her car, politely waving to anyone she saw on the way out while trying not to engage. She ended up in a conversation with her supervisor, which did bring back all of her previous annoyance as he talked about giving her even more patients than she already had, but she finally was able to make it to her car a little while later. After a quick stop at the bakery, she swiftly made her way home, sipping on a nice warm coffee as she went. After parking at home, and grabbing another jacket for Sai (Mina was always worried Sai would be cold) she made her way to the park by their house. After work picnics were normal for them, Sai loved getting to run out her post-preschool energy while the adults enjoyed just watching and de-stressing after work. Usually, around dinner time, Sai would be a lot calmer and would ask to be carried home while Sana tended to any cuts or bruises she may have gotten while playing and Mina and Tzuyu discussed what they would do for dinner.

Unfortunately though, today’s picnic could not end as well as many of their others. While the sunset was likely going to be gorgeous next to the little pond, Sai might not be their biggest fan by the end of the night.

Sana and Tzuyu had reassured Mina it was going to go great, that Sai would be happy to be told she was going to be a big sister, after all, all of her friends had little siblings, and she always seemed a little jealous of them. Even Ai, who was two years younger than Sai, was already about to become an older sibling. Sai always seemed fine when the younger kids were around, but that didn't stop Mina from being a little nervous.

Three babies were a lot of babies to have at once. While she was great at holding it together in front of Sana (she was not), sometimes the stress would hit Mina in the quieter moments. Of course she had been on board with having another baby in the first place. Sai was perfect, and completed Mina’s life in a way she never could have prepared for, but they had always planned on having another eventually. Sai was at the perfect age to become an older sibling, old enough to listen and understand directions, but still young enough that it wouldn't be too weird for her. It's just, three more kids were a lot more, more than they had planned on. And of course these sorts of things just, happened, but Mina couldn't help but be a little stressed by the whole thing. Mina would love all three of the new babies as much as she loved Sai, but that didn't stop her from feeling the pressure of being a good sire to three more babies.

“Mitang!” Mina was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard Sana calling for her. Mina instantly put a small smile on her face, and made her way towards her wife. Sana was alone on their well used picnic blanket, a half opened book sitting next to her. Mina smiled as she sat next to Sana, immediately leaning her head on Sana’s shoulder before wrapping an arm around Sana’s waist. “Hi.” Sana giggled.

“Hi.” Mina breathed in Sana’s scent, the comforting smell of warm vanilla and marshmallows. Mina could smell Tzuyu’s influence in Sana’s scent, hiding behind Sana’s sweet smell. She had always loved how her partners' scents mingled together.

“How was work?” Sana asked, kissing Mina’s head as she picked her book back up.

“Mmm…” Mina grumbled, lightly squeezing Sana’s waist as she continued to let her partners comforting scents consume her.

“That good huh?” Sana giggled. Mina grumbled again, moving her face towards Sana’s neck for a playful nip. “Mitang!” Sana erupted into giggles, setting her book down once more and wrapped both arms around Mina.

“Where are Sai-chan and Tzuyu?” Mina asked, pulling away from Sana’s neck. She playfully scrunched her nose up when Sana gave her a short kiss, but it quickly faded into a smile as she laid her head in Sana’s lap. Sana grinned, put one hand in Mina’s hair, and resumed her reading.

“They went to go feed the ducks,” Sana responded. “Don’t worry, Tzuyu made her promise to throw the food this time.”

“That’s good.” Mina smiled. “How are you doing today?” “I’ve been a little tired all day, but otherwise, I’m fine.” Sana tangled her hand in Mina’s hair.

“I’m sorry. Maybe we can go to bed a little early tonight?” “But my favorite drama is on tonight.” Sana whined.

“Mm, well how about we just plan on watching it in bed? Then going to sleep right after?”

“Mmm, maybe. Knowing how up and down my energy has been lately, I might be completely fine after dinner.” Mina grabbed one of Sana’s hands and squeezed it. “Hey, what days do you have off next week?” “Mm… I think I have Tuesday and Sunday off. I’ll be on call on Monday, but if all goes well I shouldn’t have to go in.” Mina remembered.

“Okay. Can you pick Sai up on Tuesday? I have a photoshoot.” “Sure, of course. Nothing too stressful right?” “No, don’t worry. It shouldn’t take the entire day.” Sana let go of Mina’s hand to turn the page of her book.

“Okay.” Mina took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh air. It felt nice to be outside after a ten hour shift. “I have to go in early tomorrow.” “Didn’t you go in early today to go in late tomorrow?” “Don’t remind me.” Mina grumbled. “Okay love.” Sana giggled. “If you want to talk, just let me know.” “It’s nothing new.” Mina complained. “Just, work.” “I know, I’m sorry baby.”

“Ka-san!” Their quiet conversation was interrupted when they heard a distinct screaming. Mina couldn’t stop herself from smiling as she sat up, immediately spotting her daughter. Sai was running as fast as she possibly could towards Mina, Tzuyu following behind her. Mina immediately opened her arms, catching Sai in a somewhat painful embrace as the toddler jumped into her arms. “Hi Sai-chan.” Mina whispered, holding back a giggle when her daughter scented herself. Sai loved her scent, in her own words Mina smelled ‘the bestest in the whole world’. Sai moved into Mina’s lap with her sire’s scent now wrapped around her. “Hi Mina Unnie.” Tzuyu gave Mina a small smile as she sat next to her. Mina smiled, kissing Tzuyu’s cheek while Sai got herself comfy. “Are you cold Sai-chan? I got you a jacket.”

“No.” Sai nodded, wiggling a little more on Mina’s lap to be comfy. “Mommy.” “Hm?” Sana turned her attention to her daughter.

“Duri.” Sai demanded. Duri was Sai’s favorite stuffed animal, and they knew better than to go somewhere without it.

“What do we say when we want something Sai-chan?”

“Duri, please?”

“Good job.” Sana smiled, grabbing Sai’s little backpack and pulling out the only thing in it. Sai’s face lit up as she cuddled her stuffed animal.

“Hey Sai-chan, I got you a treat.” Sai turned to Mina when she said that, a hopeful look on her face. “Treat?” Sai asked, her eyes wide as she set her stuffed animal down. “Yup.” Mina laughed at the adorableness of Sai’s expression before grabbing the treats she had gotten earlier. She passed one chocolate croissant to Sana, one of the chocolate bread to Tzuyu, and the final bread to Sai.

“Choco bread!” Sai smiled. “Thank you Ka-san!”

“Thanks love.” Sana kissed Mina’s cheek.

“Thank you Unnie.” Tzuyu grinned. Mina nodded, grabbing the bread from Sai before opening the package for her. “Don’t eat it too quickly, okay Sai-chan?” Sai nodded slowly as she started eating.

“Hey Sai-chan, we need to talk to you about something…” Mina was surprised when Sana interrupted their quiet moment, but this is what they had discussed. Ripping the bandaid off seemed like the easiest way to do it, and even if Mina was incredibly anxious about the whole thing. Mina was infinitely grateful Sana volunteered to be the one to explain everything to Sai.

“Hm?” Sai looked up at Sana, her mouth covered in breadcrumbs. Mina giggled, grabbing a napkin and wiping Sai’s face. Sana took a deep breath, Tzuyu grabbing one of her hands and squeezing it for support. Mina silently sent her support to her partner. “How would you feel about maybe getting a baby sibling? Like how Kihyunie has a baby brother?” Sai looked down at the question, taking a couple more bites of bread as she thought. “I would be a big sister?” Sai looked between all of them.

“Yeah.” Sana let out a breath.

“Mm… Okay.” Sai nodded.

“Okay?” Mina was confused how easily Sai seemed to accept everything.

“Yeah. Can I get cookies instead of chocolate?”

“What?” Mina asked, already confused.

“Yeah, Kihyunie gets chocolate when he helps with baby Dae. Can I get cookies instead?” “Sai-chan…” Sana looked towards Mina for help. Mina was just as lost on how to handle it as Sana, and a quick glance to Tzuyu showed she was just as lost. “We’ll… Think about it.” “I’m okay with choco too.” Sai nodded, going back to her bread.

“We have one more thing to tell you Sai-chan…” Sana started.

“Hm?” “Well, so remember how we told you that baby’s come for wishes mommies make when they are ready to have a baby?” “Uh-hm. Then they go into their tummy. Is there a baby in your tummy mommy?” “Yeah, well about that… So mommy, mama, and ka-san made their wish and instead of just one baby, mommy was lucky enough to get three babies in her tummy.” “Three babies?” Sai seemed extremely confused by Sana’s description as she finished her bread. “Do mama and ka-san have babies in their tummies too?” Mina stifled a laugh. Tzuyu didn’t even bother, laughing freely at Sai. “Sorry baby, it’s just- wishes only work with omega mommies.” “Oh. So there’s three babies in mommy’s tummy?” “Yeah.” Sana nodded. “We still love you very much, but we might have a little bit less time to spend with you when the babies come. We will try and keep everything as normal as possible for you, but there might be some small changes.” Sana moved closer to Sai, opening her arms for Sai to crawl into her lap. Sai crawled into Sana’s lap, resting her cheek on Sana’s stomach. “How do three babies fit in here?” Sai whispered to Sana, who giggled.

“Well, they are really little at first, but they’ll get bigger over time.” Sana laughed, threading one hand through her daughter’s hair. “Are you okay Sai-chan?” “Uh-hum.” Sai yawned. “Three babies means lots of cookies.” “Sai…” Mina trailed off, looking at both her wives. “We’ll discuss it baby.” Sana answered. “You're going to be a good big sister Sai-chan.”

“I will?” “Yes.” Sana kissed Sai’s head. “We love you sweetie.” Mina cleaned up some of the trash, lacing one of her hands with Tzuyu. After a bit, Sai moved away from Sana, crawling back to Mina and situating herself between Tzuyu and Mina.

“Ka-san?” “What’s up kiddo?”

“Can we go home now? I’m hungry.” “Sure Sai-chan.” Mina giggled. “Are you two ready to go home?” “Of course.” Sana smiled, accepting Tzuyu’s help when she stood up. “Ka-san.” Sai whined as Mina tried to put her down. Mina was surprised with the clinginess, Sai always insisted on walking by herself.

“Oh sorry Sai-chan.” Mina picked Sai back up, holding her tightly as she tried to help Tzuyu clean up with one arm. Sai cuddled her stuffed dog, her face pressed against Mina’s scent gland. Mina kept herself from laughing from the ticklish sensation as she held her daughter. Once they were ready, Sana immediately moved towards Mina and Sai, lacing one hand with Mina’s while Tzuyu moved to her other side. By the time they got home, Sai was fast asleep, cuddled with Mina’s scent gland. “This is new.” Mina laughed as she balanced Sai in her arms, being careful not to wake her up. “She had a big day at school apparently.” Sana giggled. “She was telling me all about it earlier. I’m surprised she didn’t talk your ear off when you got here Mitang.” “Honestly, me too.” Mina adjusted Sai one more time. “Well, that went better than I expected.” “I feel like she hasn’t really processed it.” Tzuyu mentioned. “She is four, I think the implications of being an older sister to triplets hasn’t fully sunk in yet.” “Do you think she will be okay?” Sana looked at their daughter, a little bit of worry on her face. “I tried to word it in a way where it was kind of a choice for her, but I am already pregnant.” “We probably should have talked to her before we started trying.” Mina commented playfully.

“It just felt a little weird to ask my four year old if we should have unprotected sex.” Sana whispered, a smirk on her face.

“Sana Unnie!” Tzuyu blushed. Mina felt her own face heat up, looking at her daughter to ensure Sai was still asleep.

“Well I would have worded it differently.” Sana laughed.

“I’m sure you would have.” Tzuyu rolled her eyes.

“It’s too late now.” Mina smiled as Sai muttered something incoherent in her sleep. “Aww.” Sana whispered. “We have the most adorable kid in the universe.” “We do.” Mina whispered, gently squeezing Sana’s hand as she lightly moved her head towards Tzuyu. “I love our little family.” Sana commented after a couple moments of silence. “It won’t be that little for much longer.” Tzuyu commented as their house came into sight. “I think four kids classifies us as a big family.” “Maybe.” Sana giggled. “Anyway, what should we do for dinner?”

As the discussion kept going, Mina took a deep breath. She never would have imagined her life the way it was now when she was younger, but as she looked at the loves of her life and felt her daughter’s gentle weight in her arms, she knew that this was way better than anything she imagined as a child.

Travel Blog, Connichi 2023!

Part 1 - Thursday & Friday

As the Connichi moved from Kassel to Wiesbaden it was quite a trip for me, double the travel distance, a city I don't know and lots of stuff to happen.

I decided to write about my trip there for myself to cover some events, give some insights and share the memories. Includes phone snapshots, some sketches for situations I was in aaaand maybe some previews for photoshootings ;>

Thursday: arrival, food, traveling

Friday: First con day, cospay, food, mental health stuff

Thursday, 31. August 2023

As said I had to travel to Wiesbaden, I went by car. The road on its own was mainly highway but before I got to the highway I got stuck in traffic for almost 1 hour. After 5 hours of traveling alone on bad mental health I arrived in Wiesbaden before my friends did and waited for them

Apparently I looked rather pitiful and was approached by some weirdo who tried to give me candy and cigarettes and was super offended by me telling them off. I'm not used to people trying to prey on me but urgh, that was creepy af.

After my friends arrived I ordered my first Starbucks (it was an almond chai latte) as I didn't have anything to eat aside my breakfast that day.

We walked around in the city a bit and ended up in the indian restaurant I had researched before and I had some really delicious paneer with Naan bread and a Mango Cheesecake.

But ... Diamy and I decided to go for "medium" spicy and I underestimated it... I .... cried :'D

We later on found a super cute bakery and @adragonstale and I were totally in awe about the pastries they had.

I'm glad my friends arrived the same day, they really saved my mood.

Friday, 1. September 2023 - First Convention day

As the first day starts later on I decided to get out into the city as past!Allen and put on the Nea wig later on.

We walked a bit through the city, did some window shopping and I was able to share my wisdom about food and nutrition, I am such a nerd about it. Also sightseeing and just being casual about everything.

After that we decided to get changed and get into our convention attire.

The con itself... dunno. I was missing a whole bunch of publishers as there was only two bigger ones and 1-2 smaller ones, the other big ones weren't there, the Matsuri was lovelessly showed behind a construction fence, the artist alley was bigger, yes, but badly ventilated on friday that even I - who is freezing all the time - felt like I would be melting on the spot. Merch room was not even tempting for me I rushed through it, the other rooms were.. well... indoor photo shoot corners, workshops and all that. The invited guests all no names to me, therefore I skipped on the program. You didn't even have any anime series or movies airing at the con (which was a usual thing before) you had to leave the con and pay extra if you wanted to see old anime movies. Well. It wasn't my cup of tea aside the fact I think the building has no personality, I don't like those soulless new constructed modern styled bricks of congress halls. Yes you had the option to book photo spots in two older buildings BUT the slots were taken super fast and it was one location on Saturday, the other on the Sunday and .. well.. in Kassel you had a ton of old buildings you could visit. Wiesbaden has some nice spots too but things like the park being full of duck poop, drug addicts and garbage to begin with didn't help much.

During the con I .. somehow spiraled into the the now called "Anxiety Chihuahua" state. I met some D.gray-man cosplayers and was actually recognized as Nea BUT got told there would be a group meeting the day after and that it was for an existing group (not noticing it was ... my ... group ... ) and my head was all like "oh god now WHAT IF" and that made me sweaty, anxious and my mood in the end was horrible. To explain that: in my cosplay past I was part of some groups but in the end was ignored or replaced by people who were thinner or prettier than me, even when we had special outfits and the other cosplayer didn't have those outfits or even when I went to a certain event for that exact group ... it's past wounds. As my mental health was already a bit cracked it was easy for me to snap and get down.

I was super awkward and ran around like crazy, almost yelled at that one group that they were super cool and that i adore their costumes and just loudly said that I am just a fool and will be gone now. On the next day they told me they saw me earlier but I was too fast to approach. Uhm, yeah. Hyper anxiety clown here. Of course I didn't take much photos with any Cosplayers as I was too nervous which didn't help as I wanted some memories of course.

In the end it got that bad that as we went out for food that day I just stood there "I don't want any, I hate everything"; but I had 30k steps done and just a few snacks therefore... I needed something. Too little food and water makes the brain sad too and I think that added to my anxiety getting worse.

In the end we stopped at a small thai restaurant and my friends had to order for me as I totally refused everything. I knew it was my health being bad and I told them "just order a thing, I will pay. Just no bread". And @adragonstale got me tofu curry with rice (instead of bread) it was warm comforting food. Thank you again. I felt really better after that.

Even that much better that we did some photos of me as Nea!

And we discovered Wiesbaden has a wild population of parrots, they nearly flew into my face while we took pics.

I went back to my car after that and arrived in time for the Matsuri fireworks.

I was super beat that day after two quite exhausting days and hoped the main day would be better as the two prior. It was about time to debut Allen, and to face my fear with the group meeting and my past cosplay trauma.

Lil concluding car selfie aka what if Nea would steal Allen's glasses.

Hi! You seem so nice and super sweet. I have some questions to know you! You remind me of a big sister, oh my god something about you is so comforting. :) Anyways, I live in California but I've only lived here for around 7 months. You mentioned before you love coming here, but can I have some places that would be nice to go on vacation? I feel super cooped up in my apartment and want to have a fun time outdoors or something. Thank you! <3

That's seriously so sweet and made me tear up a little bit! Thank you ❤️

We've spent a lot of time in a few different spots in CA, so hopefully, I mention one location near you! The obvious to all of this is beach and book. We are two beach bums when we can be, but I'll hit a few of the cities we've stayed at!

Oceanside is our go to. We like the location, due to military relations so its kind of the perfect spot for us because ✨️family✨️ If you are near that area, the beach at night is so quiet and perfect if you love seashell hunting. Oceanside also has street food/fair events, several cute metaphysical shops, and a few really good restaurants. One of them is a rooftop/desktop outdoor situation, it overlooks the docking area there, and at sunset is stunning.

In the San Diego area, I love going to Balboa Park. There's several gardens that are cheap or free to go to. During November to December, one of them is filled with gorgeous variations of poinsettias. There's also a ton of museums there, cultural houses to peep at, and gorgeous architecture. There's also a shopping area that's cute for giggles to just walk around. It's called Seaport Village. They used to have a shop just FILLED with coffee mugs. I loved it 😅

Heading north a little bit to LA where my partner is from. He grew up near skid row and has pretty vivid nightmares still about his kidhood there, so we tend to avoid the downtown area. When we do go, he always takes me to The Last Bookstore (some of you may recognize the name, it is the one you're thinking), it is just an experience. They sell antique books, collector's editions, and rare first editions along with new books. They have MAGICAL displays made from books. Griffith Park is also very beautiful with lots of things to go to. I'm a fan of anywhere with a botanic and butterfly garden 😅 and that brings me to our favorite spot in LA (minus the beach and hiking in Griffith Park) The Huntington Library. It's a library, botanic garden, and art museum all in one. It is 100% for me and not for him. He loves me dearly, and I am spoiled. There's obviously a lot of other things to do in LA (Disney, Orlando studios, ect), but we've been waiting to explore and experience those things until we had Littles to enjoy them with.

Popping between LA and San Fran is Sequoia National Park. If you are going to go and have never been, plan for a few days. It's... almost like breathtaking how small you realize you really are there.

San Francisco is kind of just... I wish I could describe it as something other than home feeling, considering I'm a midwest farm girl, but it has this magical home calling. We have a main thing we really like to do, and it's a little pricy (but not as pricy as the next location ive been treated to). He loves to see Alcatraz. 😅 he's obsessed. Otherwise it is a LOT of hiking and just trying new food places there. I just really love the vibes there for some reason.

Napa Valley I consider its own place, and it holds the most special place in my heart. He took me there for my 25th birthday. It is pricy, but wine country is so just relaxing. We stayed at this hotel, and we literally just walked out of our rooms patio door and into the vineyard. Im not 100% sure how much our week there was, but he told me not to expect anything for Christmas or valentines that year 😅

If you want really hot and in land Cali, my brothers and baby daddy went to Death Valley for a few days. They started the trip there, then went to Vegas (youngest brother's 21st birthday). My older brother said it was unbelievably hot (literally duh my sweet summer child), but he said the 4 days the 3 of them were there was a lot of fun. They did a lot of trail hiking and drank a lot of water. They all do not regret the choice to check it out. I was not invited on the boys' trip, so I didn't get to go 😑 I'm not salty AT ALL I didn't plan the trip for them or anything 🤣

If you're looking to get out of California, Colorado. Find your soul in Colorado. I highly recommend Georgetown. Not too far from Denver, not so high up in the mountains you have to anxious about snowfall and getting trapped, and I'll just attach the view from the hike into the mountains we went on.

I will push Colorado to anyone needing to get away and get into nature if it is in their budget ❤️ I've never found a town in Colorado I didn't think was stunning.

If you want to stay on the West Coast, Oregon. We went to Crater Lake National Park. One word, Ethereal. A little busy, but so so worth it.

No matter where you go, if you're getting into nature and needing to re-center your soul, find a creek with running water and just put your hands or feet in it, or get into the ocean (to where you're comfortable) and just let yourself have a moment of silence. Water is purifying and healing. It's one of the most powerful elements in our world, and it is where I find the strongest connection to Mother Nature ❤️

Let me know if you want more travel spots!

Queen + Adam Lambert Concert 13/07/2022

Hello my beauties !!

Yes, it took a bit of time, but here I am to share with you my Queen + Adam Lambert concert experience !! The concert I attended was on the 13th of July 2022, in Paris. The place was the Accor Hotel Arena. And it was amazing. You can find some pics I’ve also shared here (X) & (X)

It was my real first concert, and after almost three years of waiting, since the concert was postponed twice because of the bloody pandemic, it eventually happened. For real.

Despite a few people telling us it would be hard to get there by car, given the traffic on the Parisian ring road, we went with our car anyways. Given work and our responsibilities, it was only a one-day thing, we didn’t book a hotel or anything. The arena’s door, as well as the parking’s doors, would open at 6pm and we were right on time. There were renovation works around the arena, so we had to bypass a few buildings to eventually find our entry. We had been lucky -and quick enough- to have orchestra located tickets.

We stopped at the shop, cause yes, despite the high prices, we needed a lil souvenir for our mom. Another stop to get a drink since ours weren’t allowed in the arena for security reasons and we got into the belly of the beast. It was about 1 hour and a half before the show. The arena wasn’t really peopley, since the audience was still arriving. Lovely hostesses to guide us to our seats and also many security men….

Cause yes, in Paris’ Arena, despite this being an actual rock and roll concert, we were seated. Brian complained about it in a post. Unfortunately in France in 2013, there had been terrorists attacks during a concert and from now on, there are many rules to protect everyone. I’m not blaming anyone on this one. During the show, we eventually got up and danced a bit, trying our best to show the musicians we were having a blast. Yet, every time someone was trying to get closer to the stage, even just to take a lil pic, people were asked to get back to there seats. I’m not here to tell this was right or wrong. It was how it was, and honestly, within the audience, everyone behaved super well, not pushing anyone, trying to let those on the back see as well. For once, French people showed how it was to be polite lol, even if I spotted many nationalities, such as Japanese (the gal in our raw was so cute, she was so overwhelmed, crying a damn lot), Dutch, German, Spanish….

There was also this couple, and they were awesome. The man was dressed like Freddie during the Wembley concerts and the woman was also dressed as Freddie, but she was wearing a tiny leather short with a leather top and a leather hat and even a mustache. It was cheap, but so well done. Adam even spotted them in the audience and honestly, they totally deserved it. they were looking so great.

As we were waiting for 8pm to arrive, we could see the arena getting more and more crowdy, people clapping their hands already, everyone smiling, well some behind their masks lol, everyone already vibing hard.

And all of a sudden, the lights were off and soon, innuendo started to play, with amazing light effects behind the wonderful queen screen that was lower on the stage. I swear every time I hear innuendo now, I have shivers down my spine and I recall this amazing moment, as I was crying ahah lol

The concert lasted for about two hours and a half, with the following songs :

· Innuendo

· Now I'm Here

· Seven Seas of Rhye

· Hammer to Fall

· Somebody to Love

· Killer Queen

· Don't Stop Me Now

· In the Lap of the Gods... Revisited

· I'm in Love With My Car

· Bicycle Race

· Fat Bottomed Girls

· Another One Bites the Dust

· I Want It All

· Love of My Life

· '39

· These Are the Days of Our Lives

· Crazy Little Thing Called Love

· Under Pressure

· A Kind of Magic

· I Want to Break Free

· You Take My Breath Away

· Who Wants to Live Forever

· Guitar Solo

· Tie Your Mother Down

· The Show Must Go On

· Radio Ga Ga

· Bohemian Rhapsody

Encore:

· Ay‐Oh

· We Will Rock You

· We Are the Champions

· God Save the Queen

I could spend an endless time to tell you about each song, but honestly the whole show was just incredible. Roger Taylor and Brian May of course. Adam Lambert as lead singer, just amazing and giving us so much. Spike Edney and Tyler Warren were so great as well. And a special mention from me to Neil Fairclough. Of course, he’s not Deaky, but I would be honored to be able to play bass guitar like he does. Also, Brian mentioned the roadies, the technicians, all the people we cannot actually see on stage, but who are crucial for the show to actually happen.

I’m repeating myself, but the show was amazing, stunning, incredible from start to end. Funny, emotional, enthusiastic, almost flawless.

I actually read an article from French press the following day about the concert. I thought it was absolutely inappropriate from the journalist to actually give the musicians such nasty feedback. ‘Brian May was not that great on the guitar and was too much acting during Love of my life, dueting with Freddie.’ EXCUSE ME???? Please, get on stage and show us how you play the guitar and how you sing at almost 75. Tell us how it feels to know you’ll never see your best friend again, but try to keep his memory alive for everyone who love him.

‘Roger Taylor seemed uninterested and sang I’m in love with my car too fast’. Excuse me, sunglasses doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to see us. It means his eyes are sensitive. Actually, when he was in front of the stage, we’ve been able to spot how beautiful they are, such an intense blue. Also, this is his song, so fuck off.

‘Adam Lambert was off key during the whole show’, yes, sure, please take a mic and show us how you sing.

‘Spike, here again, as if he’s a member of the band now’. Sorry, yes, Spike didn’t ever play with Freddie and John actually, he doesn’t know what he’s doing.

‘Drummer Tyler Warren is just there to show his torso the young ladies’…. Well, I’m quite speechless on this one…. Tyler was just amazing.

‘Neil Fairclough wasn’t necessary on stage, he just came closer for under pressure, but that’s all’. True, bass guitars are not necessary in Queen songs, John was useless. -Strong face slap-

I’m aware Queen + Adam Lambert isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, that the band Queen with Freddie and John isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But I think being a journalist means being impartial, objective. And he clearly wasn’t. He deserves to rot in hell seriously, he got me so mad.

Anyways, at the end of the show, I think my hands carried on clapping until my muscles gave up lol all I could hear around us as we were asked to exit the arena, was people saying how much they enjoyed the show, how incredible it was.

We got back to the car and we headed back home, drained lol. In France, 14th of July is national day, so there were fireworks here and there, and even if I’m not a fan of fireworks, it was as if Paris was thanking Queen again for everything and this incredible show.

I didn’t write this all to make people drool or to get anyone jealous or anything. It’s my way to have all this archived somehow, a way to keep all this in memory, in addition to all the pics and videos we now have. And I wanted to share with you how Queen, again, makes me feel alive. It’s also a way to thank them all again for everything they do, every single day, for me.

And thank you if you read it all !!

Stay safe and take care !!! love you all 💖💜

#warriorteam1924 just wanted to say....#3615 my life #queen + Adam Lambert #brian may #roger taylor #adam lambert #spike edney #tyler warren #neil fairclough #long post #accor hotel arena paris 13.07.2022

Top 5 photos from 2022 please - bonus points for any goats 🐐 or you could do top 5 goat photos haha. I'll leave the decision up to you!

Haha, this one is tricky as I would normally lean right into top 5 goat photos! However, I didn't spend very much time with my little babies this year since I've been in such a transitional state and I'm not sure if I have any goat photos.

I have been working on a travel montage video, though, so I'll give you top 5 from that collection, since they're readily accessible. In no particular order...

This was my first time getting to Algonquin Park to camp this year. We set up our tents and the skies opened up and it just started pouring. One of my dearest friends looked at me and asked, "Do you want to go for a walk?" So, we did - getting absolutely drenched in the rain and jumping at each loud clap of thunder. I waded into the water at this spot and she happened to start snapping photos of me, which I'm pretty grateful for as there aren't a lot of unprompted photos of myself. I felt very, very at peace in this moment. And you can see my super cute crocs in the bottom left of the photo!

This was the day Kaitlyn and I arrived in Vancouver. I was completely exhausted from the flight and ended up having awful, awful jet lag for most of the trip (thanks to only just having recovered from COVID, I'm sure). But this moment was exactly what I'd gone out there seeking: trees bigger than I'd ever seen before, the ocean mere feet away, and a few days in the same place as one of my oldest online-met friends. It was spectacular and that's genuine awe on my face. Again, photo unprompted by me, so I'm very grateful it exists.

I think this might've been the first hike of the season. I met up with a dear friend for a leisurely wander and a post-hike picnic. She's a bit like me, in that sometimes she says, "Hey, let's climb down this hole!" and I agree with those sentiments. This is about halfway through a split in the cliff that we decided to explore.

This isn't my favourite photo of me with one of the campfires I built this summer, but the one I actually love most has other people's faces in the background and I don't share stuff like that without permission. So! Fuckboi fire builder it is. For many years, I've been the weakest link while out on camping trips, simply because I don't have the experience that all my friends do. This year, though, I worked really hard at learning how to successfully build a fire with only the bare necessities and I got good enough that I was entrusted with it a few times. Next year, my goal is to be able to build one with only flint as a starter. Fingers crossed!

This was another first I wanted this year and literally cried (while stoned) about it when I thought I wasn't going to be able to make it happen. But I did! Kayaking at sunset with one of my dearest friends was everything I'd hoped for and more. And yes, it's definitely easier than canoeing.

Honourable mention to this photo, which is more about career than travel. I felt so, so validated and supported on this shoot (my first one!) and I know that's entirely thanks to the (female) 2nd Camera who fought for me. I don't know what she recognized, but she convinced the 1st Camera that I needed to be given a chance to learn and it meant I was able to try/help with so many interesting things. She placed this camera on my shoulder during the lunch break and took this photo for me to remember the moment (no one else but the DOP, the 1st and 2nd Cameras, and myself touched this camera the entire day). I think I'll remember her kindness the rest of my life, and I can't wait to pay it forward through all of my time working in the film and television industry.

#ask game #top 5 ask game #personal #my face #minephotography #cuteasducks9 #thank you! these are always fun #there are a lot of other photos I love from this year #but like I said... I don't share anything with other peoples' faces unless given permission #(and lord knows I ain't asking for permission to post on tumblr)

Speed run (ben 10)

it was 9 in the morning when Ben Tennyson opened his eyes while wincing slightly from the bright light coming in though one of the rust bucket's windows. The 10 year part time hero whined softly, reaching blindly for a pillow to cover his face, annoyed to have been woken up from a dream where he was declared most awesome hero in the universe, while Gwen had been declared biggest baby. The irony of the dream wasn't lost on Ben, as his gurgling tummy made him sit up. the Blankets fell back and showed that while Ben was sleeping in a PJ top, he was also sporting a bulky diaper around his hips. Some unknown side effect of the watch had it while Ben could turn into different aliens, it had wreaked havoc with his bladder control. with a small degree of control during the day he could manage on pull ups, but at night he wore thick bulky diapers, made even thinker as he'd started to mess the bed as well. His tummy gurgled and let it know it's demands to be fed, so Ben slid out of bed and waddled over to the table, where there was a note.

'Ben, Me and Gwen went out on a nature hike. it started bright and early and know that's not your thing. should be back around 9:30ish. Change your own diapers and DON"T FORGET TO TOSS IT OUT!! Love max and Gwen.'

Ben chuckled, he kinda deserved that last one after mayybe putting a super poopie diaper in three plastic bags and putting it in a pillow cover..and putting said pillow in place of Gwen's pillow. Still the look on Gwen's face as she went face first into her pillow to relax and got a face of dirty diaper had been worth the spanking and 40 minute time out! But this morning he decided he could be a good boy, in theory at least, and so he could changed and tossed the soaked diaper into the diaper pail. one quick shower and dry off later and he slid on a pair of Paw patrol pull-ups, then his trade mark pants and shirt. Spotting some money on table, Ben assumed it was for him to go and grab something to eat at the little dinner that was part of the information center for the park. Given the choice between Grandpa's leftovers or runny eggs, Ben chose the less then stellar dinner and headed out, making sure to lock the rust bucket, but forgetting his keys inside.

Gwen was in a rotten mood as they headed back towards the center. what was suppose to be a mild and relaxing hike,m with fun facts being told about the area had been instead more of a forced march and no facts. Tired, achy and grumpy and now she got to come back and deal with Ben. 'I swear, if he didn't toss his fucking huggies out again..' Gwen thought, still made about what had happened the other night. gramps headed into the center to talk with the rangers supervisor as Gwen looked and spotted Ben in the dinner though a window. His stupid smug happy face, with his chin glistening with bacon grease while her belly was full of stale and heavy protein bars. Was it really any wonder that in a fit of pent up anger, Gwen might of unleashed a little bit of magical hell on Ben? swamping his fairly strong bowel control with his weak bladder control, expanding just how fast his body processed food, and heightening his ability to feel shame so it could be parleying. with it done, she retreated into the rust bucket, making sure to lock the door behind her and sat by the window as she pretended to read a book. 'And if Benny things this is all, he doesn't know what he's walking into.' Gwen thought with a smirk,.

wiping his chin and letting out a loud burp, Ben leaned back in his booth and patted his belly. "ah..that was good." he mumbled to himself, eyes closed. "uh, aren't you gonna say excuse me?" Came a disgusted female voice. Ben opened a eye, ready to tell off whoever was scolding him but as he looked on, it was a cute Asian girl, about his age and her black hair was in pig-tails. Her arms were crossed and she was giving Ben a look that all but said 'I'm waiting!' "I uh.. Hi my Ben is name." Ben said, giving her his best charming look and holding out a hand. as he clued into what he had said she giggled a little. "well then Name, aren't you going to say excuse me..for the belch." she said when he looked clueless. "J-Just Ben.. and Uh.. excuse me." Ben said and blushed, scooting over and offering her a seat. Or at least that was his intention. what actually happened as he went to scoot over was his guts churned and he let out a massive fart, and the padding in the booth didn't do much to muffle it. "...really?" The girl asked, holding her nose and waving a hand. "I uh.. excuse me?" Ben said, rubbing the back of his head and then leaning forward and grabbing his tummy as he started farting again "G-gah!" he cried out, then even as the girl went to ask if he was alright, he was sprinting up. "Gotta potty!" Squirming past the girl Ben took off in a dead run, farting every step of the way as he raced towards the Men's room. he tried the handle and it wouldn't open, then he noticed the 'out of order' sign on the door. By this point the farts were totally wet and there was no chance in hell they weren't skid-marked, though Ben had bigger worries as he scrambled for the exit, willing himself to hold onto his back door bomb. the cramps got worse and people were staring and pointing, some of the other kids laughing and it slowed Ben down from a dead run to a brisk walk, sweating and waving as his face was beet red and his farted were coming out non stop. 'I'm not going to shit myself. I'm not going to shit myself. I'm not going to shit myself.' Ben mentally chanted in his head, wobbling as he made his way towards the rust bucket. 'I'm not going to shit myself. I'm going to shit myself. anddd I'm shitting myself..' Ben thought, so close but he couldn't even make it to the door before he finally lost the battle. gracefully going down onto his knees, Ben hunched over and braced his hands on the pavement, then cried out as hell was unleashed in his pants. The pull up put up a good fight but was baseball sized lumps started to come out of the boy, it was only a matter of time before the pull up gave up the fight and ripped, ruining not only the pull up but now his pants as Ben made a massive steaming load. as he finished disgracing himself, Ben looked up to see the girl from inside making a disgusted face as her parents hurried her to the car.

Right about then was when Gwen came out of the rust bucket. as much fun as that had been to watch, she had much much worse plans for little Benny. "Ugh, really Ben? this is why i told you to wear your diaper, not a pull up.. come on stinky." She said, shaking her head. she was of course hamming it up for the crowd but was pleased when she noted how little fight was in Ben as she brought him inside. "heh, at least your pants are dry." She smirked as Ben looked down, confirming that while he HAD crapped himself, his front was dry. "Oh come on!" Ben huffed. "Look Ben.. were suppose to be here for a few more days..and I don't think that's going away any time soon." Gwen said as Ben huffed and whined. "Normally i wouldn't do this, but there IS a spell i can do, to give you a redo at this. I should warn you though, you have to er.. take on handicaps with it." "Just tell me it'll help me keep from crapping my pants." Ben said. "well yeah. also .the spell will only give you three shots.. soo Don't blown it." "Pffft Like I would." Ben said and Gwen smirked, and blasted him.

Run 1- Padded

Ben blinked, one second he had been talking to Gwen but now he was back in the dinner, and in clean pants. he had the last bite of his egg and bacon sandwich and looked around, spotting the Asian girl and smiling at her. instead of a smile back, she made a face and it was then he recalled he'd had food in his mouth at that point. Swallowing quickly he squirmed in his seat. It was as he squirmed he heard a noise he knew VERY well! The crinkle of his bulky overnight diapers! Squeezing his thighs together Ben quickly confirmed that he WAS wearing one of the DIAPERS in the dinner and hoped no on had noticed! he tried to draw on any memory from coming in and had a faint flash of him waddling over to the booth and the girl having smirked and called over to him to..oh god! Pull up his pants, his diaper was showing! He nibbled on the last piece of his breakfast in silence and blushing as the Girl got up and came over. "Hi I'm Julie. what's your name?" she asked, a pleasant smile on her face. "I Uh..I'm.." Ben stammered, butterflies in his tummy but he smiled back. "I'm Ben! that's right. Ben! B e n! Ben!" they both froze at what he had said, and the toddler tone he had used to say it. 'way to go dork, if she didn't think you were special before she does now!' Ben groaned, rubbing the back of his head and giving a sheepish smile. "Huh.neat. anyways...So my parents have been scolding me for teasing you. They said not to assume your just one of those little diaper boys and uh.. guessing their right. do you know where your mommy or daddy is?" Julie asked. Ben went to tell her thanks, but he could manage on his own when a sharp cramp like before hit him. 'But..but I was just farting at this point!' Ben thought before a thunder poot escaped into his diaper. the thick diaper did help muffle the sound though and Ben whimpered. "Please move hafa boom!" he said childishly, and started to try and get past Julie, ending up shoving her out of his way as he tried to run to the rust bucket. He made it as far as out the front door though as his guts churned and then he fell to his knees clutching his tummy. "Gonna go poopie!" he whined, tears welling up and then he was pushing out his back door bomb. the diaper held onto the load better then the pull ups, and just expanded and pushed, making Ben's pants expand and the seams start to rip as the massive formerly white diaper tried to strain though. The pants lost the war and Ben's bloated and stained diaper was on display for all to see as he started to wail.

Run 2- In the navy

Ben blinked as he was back in the dinner again, but this time he wasn't alone. Sitting next to him and keeping him pinned in was Gwen, who looked just as surprised as Ben to be there. At least until she got a look at what he was wearing and started to snicker. Ben went to ask what her problem was, but Gwen pointed to the window so he could see his reflection. Ben was in a white little sailor suit, with the short shorts and of COURSE was once again diapered. Only the white shorts didn't even try to hide his diapered state. "awww, aren't you just a lil cutie." Gwen teased and then pinched his cheek. "Owww! gweennn cut it out! let's just go back to the rust bucket OK?" Ben huffed, slapping her hand away and then making his demand, arms crossed and looking like a grumpy big toddler. "ah ah ah..Use your manners Lil Benny." Gwen scolded lightly, waging a finger back and forth. "BITE ME!" Ben huffed and glared definitely at her. For al of 3 seconds before seeing the look on her face. "I love you and we're family!" he squeaked out fast and put his hands together begging for mercy. "Anyone here mind if I spank a diaper boy brat? His diaper will be staying on, this is just a little reminding him of his place." Gwen called out. "nah, go for it." "let me get the boys out of her first.." Ben whimpered, but had a glimmer of hope. "Sure, he's been a brat all morning." "Don't bother me." After all, if enough people said no, they could just go to the rust bucket and- "Can I help?" Wait, why the hell was everyone agreeing with her!? and had Julie just asked to help!? "sure, though how much help I'll need depends on widdle Benny here. Are you gonna be a good big toddler and take your spanking like a man and brace yourself on the table. or do me and.." Gwen paused and turned to the girl. "Julie." "ah nice to meet you. I'm Gwen.. anyways Ben, does Julie have to hold you over the table while i paddle your padded rump?" Neither choice was all that appealing to Ben truth be told, but as he went to answer the question anther pressing matter appeared. he hadn't even felt the need before he just found himself standing up up the seat, bending his knees and grunting. eyes closed though whimpers loud, the seat of his shorts started to expand as Ben unloaded a mighty load into the seat of his diapers. Gwen moved fast to save the shorts and yanked them down to around his ankles, then backed away making a face as his rapidly filling diaper almost smushed her in the face. "Gah! Ben! what did you eat!?!" Gwen cried out holding her nose as the diaper sagged. A totally rotten smell filled the room and if Gwen hadn't of used magic to reinforce the diaper it would of leaked for sure. In the end Ben's diaper went down to his Kneecaps in the back, and the front was only slightly higher. "Holy hell little dude!" Julie said, jaw dropping. "C-Can we skip the spanking?" Ben asked while panting. "..yeah ok." Gwen said, eye twitching.

Run 3 - rocking that crinkle

Ben blinked and found himself back further then normal. In fact, he was back to just after shutting the rust buckets door. 'heh.. man. this is easy! I'll just avoid going inside and plant my butt on the pooper!' Ben thought. He tugged at the rust bucket door, and then recalled that he'd locked the door. "no sweat, I'll just reach into my..Pocket.." Ben trailed offed as he went to stick his hand in his pocket and only brushed his hand on slick plastic. and it was at this point the Ben realized he'd been attracting attention in the parking lot, what with being in nothing but a thick white diaper with teddy bears on them and a pair of paw patrol sneakers. "H-Heh.. No. No no no no.." Ben said, a nervous smile on his face as he tried the door again. and again. "This is NOT happening. it's just not happening." No matter how much he may of wished it wasn't, it was. As he turned and faced the smirking and laughing crowd, Ben's bladder twitched and grew away, making some of the teddy bears vanish off his diaper. He whimpered and started to suck his thumb, tears welling up in his eyes as the crowd reacted as you'd expected. A big collective "D'awww!" Ben's poor mind was going on a humiliation overdose, and he was barley keeping from going to permanent baby brained as he stood there shaking, wishing he could get it together to go and hide at least. It was then as he was trying to avoid a permanent one way ticket to baby land that he heard Gwen's voice, and turned to see her. "BEN!? what are you doing?" She asked, looking confused. whether or not it was legit, Ben didn't care. "Talk later. inside now." Ben said, take a step towards Gwen and then just popping a squat and grunting. "oh my god, Ben are you crapping yourself?" Gwen asked, wrinkling her nose. "Gross Ben! HEY EVERYONE! THIS GROSS LITTLE FUCK IS NOT DISABLED OR SPECIAL, HE'S JUST A DIAPER BOY WHO WANTED TO MAKE ALL OF YOUR WATCH HIM GO POOPIE!" Gwen yelled as Ben's diaper once again rapidly expanded. Ben went to try and defend himself, but a Pacifier appeared in his mouth and he found himself compelled to suckle on it. he had gone onto his knees since he had started, and leaning forward he found a teddy bear in his arms, anther gift from Gwen. The lumps kept coming out of his behind and in next to no time the diaper had reached the ground, forming a semi bean bag of filth that Ben found himself ridding, hiding his face in the teddy bear. As Ben suckled away in his messy diapers, He looked up with tears running down his cheeks at Gwen. She leaned down, holding her nose and making a scene of having to deal with his smell. "Phew yew Ben! How long have you been holding that in?!" She asked loudly, getting LOTS of laughs from the crowd, then leaned in and whispered into Ben's ear. "Anything of you even left over? Just remember Benny, no more redos. This is your new life. a 24/7 world famous hyper messing diaper baby. Sure I could of left well enough alone or even just let you fix this altogether, but well." Gwen paused and then ruffled Ben's hair. "Like you said after your little prank: Don't be such a baby about it." Ben started to bawl and cry and what was left of his big boy mind ended up in his massive diaper. As Gwen watched her cousin go permanently brain brained, she couldn't help but wonder if Grandpa max was right, and she WAS a little to spiteful.

The end
