Nightshade Chapter 7 Sneak Peeks!
Sorry this has taken so long! Last week was swamped and this week started off with a dentist appointment and my little down getting just absolutely slammed with snow! But here's the sneak peeks!
Since this one was a tie I decided to cut both peeks in half and give y'all a little bit of both! Enjoy!
👬
He squeezed past the busty doe-eyed girl as she smiled, batting her eyelashes at him, and made his way upstairs to change. When he opened his locker to find the familiar sleek black leather of his jacket Jake smiled. How the hell did she even get this up here? Her perfume was all of it, covering up the musk he'd been so used to the old thing holding. God, he wanted to hold it to his nose and burn that smell into his sinuses.
After he changed the doorway filled with the familiar copper-haired brute and the thinner bald man. Patrick and Peter looked around for a minute before they looked at each other. "You wanna start or should I?
Peter scoffed, "I'm the oldest, I'll start."
"There a problem?" Jake asked calmly. If they'd wanted to kick his ass Patrick would have done it by now.
"Not yet," Patrick replied, keeping his arm out as Peter took a step forward.
"I've heard a lot about you," the brother said with a grin. "Oz and Pat have been pretty good at keeping me in the loop when it comes to you and my little sister."
Jake shook his head, leaning back against his locker. "There's not much to tell. We're friends."
Patrick rolled his eyes, mumbling something in a different language that made Peter chuckle. "Friends is hardly the word I'd use to describe you two. But, I don't really care what you call it so long as one thing stays the same. You respect her."
"God knows she's had enough of dumb little pretty boys taking advantage of her kindness," Patrick added, giving him a stern look, not unlike the ones he'd been giving him from the start. 
"Listen, Jake," Peter continued. "I know my sister. I know she comes off as this strong, indestructible force of nature that can kick anyone's ass and that doesn't feel a damn thing." He winced as he shifted, balancing himself on Patrick's waiting arm. "Lena is strong… One of the strongest people I know, but she's still human. It still hurts when people she cares about let her down."
"And you think she cares about me?" He asked, trying to sound amused to cover up the way he genuinely wanted to know.
Patrick nodded, quietly making sure Peter wouldn't fall. "She doesn't bring just anyone to the old place and she's brought you more than enough times. Even talked about pops."
"She also shared Cape Cod with you." Peter nodded. "Yeah, I know about that."

Jake felt light, almost weightless as he lay in the warm bed basking in the rays of sunlight. The air around him was laced with the sweet smell of perfume, cherry with hints of rose and light woodsy leather. It was intoxicating and the more he breathed it in the more he found himself craving the smell. A weight was comfortably settled onto his chest as his fingers ran through silky strands of hair. His blunt nails scratched her head drawing out soft noises of contentment. He chuckled, an odd sense of joy rushing through his veins.
“What’s funny?” She asked, lifting her head off his chest.
Opening his eyes he smiled up at the sunlit halo of red hair and sparkling green eyes that stared down at him. “Nothing at all.”
Her eyebrows lifted as amusement made her face even more beautiful. “Nothing at all? Why do I not believe you?”
“Calling me a liar?” He teased, his hands running along her smooth skin, tracing the curved shape of her snake tattoo up her spine. “In my own bed, that’s rather inconsiderate.”
“You weren’t complaining earlier,” she teased back leaning into him, her fingers tracing his lips. Jake watched her face slowly soften, looking at him like he was everything to her. “You never thought you’d get this attached, did you?”
Cold weight started creeping back into his body as his mind recognized the dream. He still clung to her, clung to her soft skin beneath his fingers, the loving gaze she gave him, the smell of her perfume. Jake still closed his eyes when she leaned in to kiss him and he still hesitated to pull away even though he couldn’t even feel her lips against his.
When he opened his eyes again she was gone and he was alone. He set his hand against his chest, taking in deep breaths to try and escape the sudden breathlessness. Rolling onto his side he looked at the empty space beside him, quietly recalling the sight of her bare back and that damn tattoo that he now knew painted her skin. Jake forced himself up and followed his shitty routine to get himself ready for another long night of service. It was starting to get ridiculous the never-changing nature of bartending at 22West.
He found himself thinking about what would have happened if he had actually gone through with his plans with Scott. Would he have his own restaurant? A bar that wasn’t constantly surrounded by rich assholes that had more money than god and were still stingy with their tips? Would he get to wear what he wanted and throw people out when they’d clearly had enough? No. He reminded himself. It was a dumb idea, rushed and poorly thought out. It would have failed before it even started. Simone was right… All that was just a pipedream meant to help keep him from going insane with the mundane normalcy of life.

Greetings and salutations, all!
Our farm witch friends know what’s up and they’ve brought us another round of their recommendations to share with the community.
Check out this week’s faves from around town and be sure to leave the creators some love!
---------------------
Bigger than the whole sky (@blackandwhiteandrose​) “This is just a really, really beautiful look at David's life before SC and his views on love. You don't need to have watched Lone Star or be familiar with TK to read it, but that's a nice little easter egg for those of us who have.”
Click/snap/whirr (@smallumbrella369​) “It's so emotive. The writing is evocative, the characters feel real, and the ideas in the stories always feel fresh. This gave me goosebumps.”
Fate is kind when you wish (@januarium​) “It is so sweet and funny and heartwarming. I love magical fics. In this one David wishes he knew what Patrick was thinking, in the days before they get together, and he gets his wish! It’s just so funny and lovely! Of course Patrick is smitten with David, so it’s great to hear his inner dialogues about that! But, unexpectedly, he is also quite the swear-er in his head! I love the way you can just hear those thoughts as you read them. David’s reactions are wonderful. And they are just so lovely together. There’s  also a WONDERFUL podfic of this by the WONDERFUL Amanita Fierce, which I also highly recommend!!”
Google it (@rosedavid​) “A collection of Patrick's Google searches throughout the events of canon. It's such a cute little new angle we get to see our favorite Button in, and takes us a bit more inside his headspace. Quick, but super fun read!!” 
How, Patrick (@madlori​) “The comment threads from Patrick's followers are so spot on.”
Left unsaid (treeperson/@treepyful​) “It's a rare pair (Jake/Mutt), it’s long enough to tell a beautiful story, but still short enough to read it multiple times in a week! There's like 8 words of dialog, and still I can hear so much of their feelings, it's a picture painted so magnificently, and in exquisite detail.”
On your marks, get set, bake! (@floosilver8) “Even though the fic takes place in the summer, baking always feels like a holiday activity to me so it's the perfect time to read this fic! Everyone's favorite Button is a contestant on the Great Canadian Baking Show where David is a judge, and sparks fly instantly. Just like Patrick's chocolate souffle, it's sweet, hot, and absolutely delicious!” 
Red, White, and Blue Jays (@grapehyasynth​) “A gorgeous adaptation of a lovely book. This made me want to read the book on which it's based. It's so beautifully written, hitting all the notes of the original but still feeling like it's own story, and so, so romantic. Read. It.”
Shine like silver (@stereopticons​) “Stunning is the only word I have for this piece. It's such a gorgeous post-canon story about David finding a passion that he lost. It's a must-read for the fandom IMO.”
Standing in the sunlight in the middle of the street (apothefarley) “The writing is gorgeous. You can feel David’s thoughts. You can feel their love.  And bonus, Patrick sings “Case of You” to David.” 
Tonight I'll drift in a dream with you (torakowalski) “It’s got sweet caretaking, loads of humor, zany Roses, and some zinger lines.”
What’s in a name? (railmedaddy/@rmd-writes​) “I love how the writer developed a story behind the "a helllmet" exchange David and Alexis share in S2.”  You have no home, you have no walls  (odofidi) “This was such a dark and heartbreaking version of David and his struggle with addiction to deal with an unrequited (so he thought) love for his best friend. I loved the way it was written, going back and forth from present time to the past and how the reader discovers David’s fall into addiction and his struggle to stay sober and how his sobriety becomes so important to him; how he grew from that and how he finally reaches a place where he can love himself and accept being loved by someone. It’s beautifully written and I don’t often see it recommended.”

Enhypen Reaction: When You Need Comfort
Reaction: When you need comfort
Reaction: When their s/o needs comfort
Genre: Mostly angst...a little fluff
Warnings: uh...some sensitive topics like food, nightmares, and mental health, self-harm. Please be aware of this before you read!
A/N: I wrote this for anyone who is going through a hard time and needs comfort ^-^
❉ ╤╤╤╤ ✿ ╤╤╤╤ ❉
HEESEUNG
This time you sprang up from your bed, sweating bullets. Sobs escaped your mouth, as you remembered the horrifying nightmare you had just woken up from.
“Bad dream?” You suddenly heard Heeseung’s voice murmur in a sleepy voice. You almost forgot that he was staying over tonight.
You grabbed a tissue from your nightstand and blew your nose, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you up.”
Heeseung sat up and gently stroked your hair in hopes to comfort you, “You’ve been having a lot of nightmares lately. Is everything okay?”
“This week has been so stressful,” You said honestly. “And you know stupid me always overthinks every little thing.”
Heeseung caressed your cheek, “One, you’re not stupid and two, do you want to talk about it?”
You shook your head, “No it’s okay. I’m okay.”
“Are you sure? Do you need anything?”
You nodded, “Just...just hold me please.”
If Heeseung was more awake he probably would’ve smiled at what you said. He happily brought you to lay back down on the bed and held you as you asked him to. You instantly felt better by his warmth and touch.
“Good night Jagiya,” He whispered.
You snuggled closer so your head could rest in the crook of his neck, before pecking his lips.
“Night, Heedeungie.”
┈┈┈┈┈❀┈┈┈┈┈ ┈┈┈┈┈❀┈┈┈┈┈ ┈┈┈┈┈❀┈┈┈┈┈
JAY
You really didn’t want to go to Jay’s dorm at 11 pm, when it was nearly midnight. Especially because he probably had a hectic schedule today and he needed to sleep. But here you were, pathetically standing at his front door wearing only a thin sweatshirt, shorts, and sliders.
“Noona? I didn’t know you were coming,” Niki was the one who answered the door.
You tried to smile at the younger boy, “I’m sorry...but is Jay home?”
Fortunately, Jay had already headed toward the entrance after Niki went to answer the door. His heart rate increased when he recognized your voice. He motioned for Niki to let him know he could handle this. The maknae nodded and carried on with his nightly routine.
“Jagiya, what are you doing here?” He asked without thinking. “I mean not that I mind at all.”
For a few seconds, you looked at Jay who looked exhausted, most likely due to hours of dance practice. You regretted why you even came here in the first place when Jay and his members needed to rest.
“I-I...it’s not a big deal actually,” You lied. “I’m sorry for bothering you guys at this hour, I’ll just leave-”
But Jay took your hand before you could take off, “No you’re not bothering us. Stay.”
When your eyes met his own, he could tell that you need him right now. He knew better than to let you slip away like this when you clearly weren’t okay. He could care less if it was late.
He knew it must’ve been really bad because you never came to him like this. Usually, you kept to yourself. He felt a little guilty for feeling happy that you finally came to him.
“Were your parents fighting again?” He asked after bringing you into the dorm’s living room. He gestured for you to come to sit beside him so he could bear hug you.
“Yeah…” You replied, almost inaudibly. “My d-dad was cursing at my mom and she was saying really hurtful things.”
“And you couldn’t sleep?”
“Yeah pretty much…” You gave a half-suppressed laugh. You always made it seem like a joke when you were talking about your struggles. It was how you coped.
You wiped away tears that fell without you knowing, “I don’t understand why they don’t divorce already. Our family is already a wreck.”
“If I could make everything better with the snap of my fingers, I swear I would (Y/n),” Jay gently moved your head so you could rest on his shoulder.
You wrapped your arms around his neck and hugged him tighter, “Can I stay here, just for tonight? I promise I’ll leave first thing in the morning.”
“You can stay here as long as you want Jagiya,” Jay kissed your temple. “Hell, you could even move in with us if you want.”
“Jay, you know your managers will not allow that.”
Jay shrugged, “I’m sure we could work something out. Besides, I need someone to help me cook for these six children.”
He smiled when he saw you laugh at his humor. At least you were feeling a little bit better.
“But seriously, you’re always welcome here,” Jay said. “Don’t you ever feel like you’re bothering me because you’re not, okay?”
┈┈┈┈┈❀┈┈┈┈┈ ┈┈┈┈┈❀┈┈┈┈┈ ┈┈┈┈┈❀┈┈┈┈┈
JAKE
“(Y/n)-ah, I made some ramyeon for us!” Jake came over to you with a steaming pot. You weakly smiled when the puppy came to sit down next to you at the table.
“I’m sorry Jake,” You said quietly. “But I’m not hungry.”
Jake set the food in front of you and pouted, “Really? But this is your favorite!”
“That’s why you should eat deliciously for the both of us,” You encouraged, patting his shoulder.
“Jagiya, I know you’ve been skipping meals recently.”
In contrast to his words, the kindness in Jake’s voice didn’t change in the slightest. You could hear the genuine concern in it though.
You’ve never had such a sweet boyfriend like Jake before. He always wanted to take care of you as much as you took care of him. So whenever something felt off about you to him, he immediately wanted to find the cause so he could help.
“I’m just on a diet, Jakey,” You ruffled his hair, trying to downplay the situation. “I’ve been wanting to lose some weight.”
“Diet?! Why?” Jake was so confused. He had never seen you like this before. “You don’t have any weight to lose, Jagi.”
You avoided eye contact, looking down at your hands.
“I just don’t like the way I look okay?” You said in almost a whisper. “I want to be pretty like all those girls in the k-pop groups.”
“But you’re just as pretty as they are, (Y/n)-ah,” Jake said, not understanding how you could think you weren’t. He absolutely adored you.
“Did someone say something? Is that why you’re dieting?”
You quickly shook your head, “No, not at all. I was just looking through Instagram the other day and I got insecure.”
“I understand how you feel. But you’re perfect the way you are,” Jake said. He made sure to be careful with his words because he didn’t want you to feel hurt.
“And you shouldn’t starve yourself,” He added, taking his chopsticks and twirling some noodles around them. “It’s not healthy and I don’t want you getting sick.”
“Jake…” You looked petulant when your boyfriend held up some food to your mouth.
“Please eat. Just one bite, I promise!”
You just couldn’t resist those brown puppy eyes of his, could you? With a defeated sigh, you let Jake feed you. When you did, he kissed you happily on the lips.
“That’s my girl!”
┈┈┈┈┈❀┈┈┈┈┈ ┈┈┈┈┈❀┈┈┈┈┈ ┈┈┈┈┈❀┈┈┈┈┈
SUNGHOON
“What’s wrong?” Sunghoon asked when he saw the look on your face. It was a mix between mild panic and disappointment.
Your eyes didn’t leave your phone, “I-I got 0.5 off on my math test.”
“What? That’s pretty good!” Sunghoon smiled, thinking that you were happy. But you weren’t, you really weren’t.
You knew that everyone hated that overachiever type of person who got angry when they got anything lower than an A. But it wasn’t just that for you. The standards you brought onto yourself was anything you did that was less than a 100, was considered a failure in your eyes.
“I-I don’t know what I did wrong. I should’ve studied harder,” You started to ramble to yourself. “Damn it, now my grade is going to lower.”
Sunghoon’s smile was crestfallen when he heard this. He knew how much of a perfectionist you can be but he didn’t think it was to this extent.
“(Y-Y/n)-ah, are you crying?”
You quickly swiped your cheek with the back of your hand, “I-I’m sorry. It’s just I really want to get straight As by the end of this semester.”
“I know you do. You’ve been working so hard,” Sunghoon said, wrapping an arm around your shoulders. “But you shouldn’t be so hard on yourself Jagi.”
“I know...but I can’t help it,” You said, trying to keep your voice stable. “I just feel like I could do so much better.”
Your boyfriend sighed, wanting to cheer you up. He understood the feeling of not being good enough.
“It’s okay to want to improve,” He told you. “But your grades don’t determine who you are (Y/n)-ah. You can fail a class and I’d still think you’re the smartest person I know.”
You couldn’t help but laugh at Sunghoon’s ridiculous statement, “You’re just saying that because you’re my boyfriend.”
“No, I mean it,” Sunghoon insisted. A teasing glint appeared in his eyes. “Should I show you that I mean it?”
“Sunghoon I don’t think-” You tried to say before Sunghoon shut you up with a passion-filled kiss.
He was going to make sure you knew how much he truly admired you, no matter what your expectations of yourself were.

SUNOO
“I wasn’t yelling at you (Sister’s Name), I was just saying that-” You tried to keep your voice calm. You were flustered enough as it is because you were having an argument with your sister when your boyfriend was here.
“Stop acting like you’re better than me,” your younger sister retorted. “At least I’m not the one who cuts myself!”
Sunoo watched as your face turned red at her sister’s hurtful words. You wanted to scream and tell your sister to shut up and that she didn’t know what she was saying. But you knew that you wouldn’t be making anything better. So you stormed into your bedroom.
Sunoo quickly ran after you, “(Y/n)-ah!”
He made sure to close the door when he entered the bedroom. There you were with your head in your hands, trying not to pull your hair out.
“(Y/n)-ah…” Sunoo slowly walked over to hug you because he knew you needed one.
Tears streamed down your cheeks, “I-I can’t believe...I can’t believe she said that to my face. Sh-she has no idea how crappy I feel.”
“I know,” Sunoo spoke softly, gently patting your back. “Don’t listen to what she said about you.”
You pulled away but still held his hand, “I’m sorry you had to see that.”
“It’s okay,” Sunoo reassured you. “I’m right here by your side. So you can just let it all out alright?”
You giggled when he peppered your face with kisses. He always did that whenever you were feeling down.
“Thank you, Sunoo-yah.”

JUNGWON
It was late in the evening and you two were the only ones still awake at the dorm. You had come over earlier to bring them food and by the time everyone finished eating, it was too dark out. So Jungwon insisted that you stay the night.
That’s what brought you two sitting together on the sofa and just talking. One of Jungwon’s favorite things to do with you was to cuddle and talk for hours. You always listened to whatever was on his mind, whether it was good or bad.
But tonight was different because Jungwon wanted to listen to you talk. He didn’t want you to think that he didn’t care about your life and how you were doing. So you just told him about school and how things were going at home. Somehow the topic traveled to your mental health which was something you hated talking about with others.
“It’s okay, Jagi,” Jungwon reassured you. “You can talk to me, I promise not to judge.”
You let out a shaky sigh, “To be honest I haven’t been doing that great.”
Jungwon sat up straighter so he could listen to what you had to say. Just by your first sentence, he could tell that you’ve been holding in a lot of feelings.
“I just hate myself so much,” You confessed quietly. “And I know, I know there’s something wrong with me.
Even though he wanted to say something, he stayed silent and placed his hand on top of yours.
“But I’m afraid to get help because my-my mom has anxiety and my sister has her own problems and I-I know it’s hard for my dad to handle,” You added, feeling tears build up.
You mentally cursed yourself, you didn’t want to cry in front of Jungwon but your heart wasn’t listening to you. You couldn’t hold it in, no matter how hard you tried. Jungwon held your hand tighter when the first tears fell.
“I don’t want...I don’t want to be a burden to them and I don’t want them to see me as weak. So I decided that when I’m older I can find out what’s wrong with me. But...but sometimes I’m afraid that the longer I wait...the longer I wait...I’m scared that something bad will happen.”
At this point, any walls you had built to protect yourself were taken down. You usually never let yourself be vulnerable in front of someone. You don’t know why you were being so emotional right now. Maybe...maybe it was because you had bottled it all for so long and everything has piled up until now.
Nonetheless, Jungwon didn’t hesitate to wrap his arms around you. He felt upset with himself because he didn’t know you were feeling like this and he wished he had known sooner.
You harshly wiped your tears away and sniffed, “I don’t even care anymore, Jungwon-ah. I’m fine and I’m...I’m sorry for telling you all this.”
“Why are you sorry?” He frowned. “I’m your boyfriend, so you should tell me these things. I’m sorry if I made you feel like you couldn’t.”
Jungwon held you tighter and kissed your forehead, “If you ever want to get help, I’m right here for you. And if you don’t then just come to me whenever you need to.”
You listened quietly to Jungwon’s comforting words and let the warmth of his hug envelop you. For the first time, you didn’t regret spilling out your heart to someone. Then just thinking about Jungwon made you realize that-
“You’re not alone Jagiya. I may not understand everything you’re going through but I love you a lot and I don’t want you to feel like a burden anymore, because you’re not.”
“You love me, Jungwon?”
Jungwon looked into your eyes for a moment before he leaned down to kiss you tenderly.
“More than you and I could ever imagine.”

NIKI
Niki didn’t know what to think when he found you sitting on the floor, hopelessly crying in the dance practice room. You had been here since last night, trying to perfect this one choreography. But you kept making the same mistake no matter how hard you practiced. At this point, you were losing confidence and breaking down.
Niki kneeled in front of you, “(Y/n)-ah?”
“I keep screwing up this one part in the dance Niki,” You cried out in frustration.
Niki gently reached his hand to wipe your tears, “Don’t cry, (Y/n)-ah. It’s okay.”
“No it’s not okay,” You said in denial. “If I don’t get this dance right, I won’t be able to debut. And-and then I’ll let my members down, my managers, and you.”
“(Y/n)-ah, you’re going to debut. I know you are,” Niki tried to encourage you. “Everyone has those off days, even me.”
You had stopped crying by now, which left Niki feeling relieved. Still, he made sure to hug you.
“Let’s just take a break,” He said. “I promise to help you with the choreography later, okay?”
He smiled when you nodded and cutely sniffed like a bunny rabbit. He wasn’t used to taking care of others, but he learned a lot from watching his hyungs. So just like his hyungs, he was going to make sure that you didn’t overwork yourself.

BABY!!
TV SHOW ACCUSED
COUPLE JAKE MURRY X READER
RATING SMUT AF !!!!!
Tumblr media
I stood giddy with excitement as I walked around my room in my towel, my mother was out all weekend with her new boyfriend, my gran was on a work trip all week long. So I was home alone, and my beautiful sexy girlfriend is visiting. I'd spend so long in the shower making sure I was nice and clean for no matter what she wanted to do with Me, and because I've been fighting the urge all day not touch myself overwhelmed for her touch. I love y/n with all my heart I really do she's the best girlfriend a boy could ask for, what most boys dream about when they think of a girlfriend. And a few months ago on our one year anniversary she opened up about something.
Ummmm just how fucking kinky she is. 
I had known just… from dating her that she was a very Sexual girl and it never bothered me or anything in fact I rather liked it, but that night. Ohh my God she told me everything, what she dreams of, all her fantasys, what she mastubates too, everything she wants to do to me. I'm not going like I may have uhh cum in my pants that night just from everything she said to me, and I think it only made me love her more discovering just how dirty she is. 
She made a list on her phone of everything she wanted to do to me, I have it shared on my phone too and I have uhhh took out and discusses the ones I am not okay with and the list is currently two hundred kinky concepts long. 
Tonight as in home alone I invited her over and told her to pick one she wanted to do were it's best if we're alone, I have no idea which one she picked and in all honesty I didn't want to know the curiousity only made me harder the longer I waited egar for her touch and for whatever she had planned for me tonight. I got dressed I to my button down and my clean jeans making sure I spayed some extra body spray and the after shave I know she likes on me just as I did I heard the familiar noise. 
I checked myself once more in the mirror and fixed my bed sheets throwing my towel in the laundry as I rushed down the stairs as I heard the gurble of a motorbike engine. I went outside into the chill of the darkening evening as the engine turned off. And there sat infront of my house parked a beautiful blue motorbike and on it sat my sweet y/n, her boots on the floor as she kicked it into the kickstand her skin tight armoured jeans hugging her every curve I could see the curves of her arse as she sat there proving to me she had no panties on, her black leather jacket hugging her close the zip threatening to slip and expose her to me, she turned off her lights and sat up slipping her gloves off finger by finger slipping them inside her jacket pocket she undid her helmet slipping it off freeing her beautiful hair and face she turned and winked at me my heart beating out my chest my excitement growing by the second, my jeans already feeling to tight to be comfortable throbbing for her as she smiled at me "see something you like Jake?" She smiled climbing of her bike keeping her helmet under her arm as she stepped closer to me 
"I do, ummmm let me touch you" I groaned hugging her tightly my head in her chest my hands rubbing everywhere I could, her arse, her pussy, her boobs all of it so soft, so sexy and all with little to protect her from my hands 
"Awww my sugary boy missed me?" She asked petting my hair 
"Uhh so much baby" slightly humping her I was so horny and so desperate just to feel her against me 
"Hey, I think someone's over excited" she smirked pushing me away and tapping my nose "get the stuff out my top box while I get my gear off" she smirked throwing her keys in the air so I caught them, she kissed my cheek before going inside, I bit my bottom lip doing as she asked she had her usual bag of clothes and such as she keeps alot of toiletries and overnight stuff here anyway, and another bag I knew well too, the black zip bag with a combination lock that usually lives in her bottom draw just the sight of it made my cock throb with excitement I locked up her top box and headed inside locking the door behind me throwing her keys on the side I spotted her boots and helmet but the door her jacket over the banister, I went up and noticed her jeans on the floor of the hallway infront of the bathroom and instantly got more excited seeing the light strap shirt in my bedroom door handle, I pushed it open instantly putting her stuff on the side as I looked at her stood by my bed in her bright red lace bra and crotchless panties 
"Ohh my God" I groaned grabbing her waist kissing her beautiful strawberry lips pulling every inch of her against every inch of me kissing all over her and she just giggled playfully at my reaction "ummm I love you, I love you" I muttered between kisses "your so beautiful, so sexy baby" I groan wrapping her leg around me holding the bottom of her thighs 
"You always get so excited when it's been a couple of days jake" she giggled pushing me back a little from her "am I that irresistible? Or is the agreement not to jerk off really getting to you lately?" She smirked 
 "are you trying to make me cum in my pants Tonight?" I asked her 
"Maybe" she giggled undoing the buttons on my shirt 
"What's the plan tonight?"
"Ohh well that would be telling" she smiled kissing my cheek then my jaw, then down my neck and my chest till her lips met my belt 
"Ummm please baby," I groaned just the feeling of her so close to where I wanted her, the sight of her kissing above my belt almost to much to take "I need you" I beg 
"Sit on the bed and get your toys out" she orders going to get her toy bag open 
"Ummmm yes baby" I nodded doing as she asked getting the toys I keep here in my locked draw out and on the bed for her, I got them all as I don't know what she wants and I sat against the headboard fiddling with my belt egar to remove it. She brought her toys to the bed too spreading them out with my own. She took a glass of water from the table and handed me my little box from my draw "oohh? Do we need these tonight then?" I asked taking the strip of pills from the box 
"Well given how… overexcited you already are" she smirked kneeling over my thigh and kissing the crotch of my jeans "I just want to make sure we can play all night jake" 
"Yes baby" I smirked taking two and sipping the water to swallow the little blue pills returning the water to the side she smiled nuzzling into my chest I smiled cuddling her close feeling her soft, warm body, I ran my fingers across one of the toys and she saw moving my hand away 
"Very egar tonight jake" 
"I've told you already how much I missed you, how much I need you" I groaned 
"A little while longer jake, just while we sort out" she smiled slipping her hand under my jeans and her fingertips gently playing with my cock 
"Uughhh baby" I groaned moving my hips desperate for her hands "more… please" I begged grinding against her hands but she squeezed and sat up getting off the bed making me groan more biting my tongue feeling my cock throb with need. She played with the toys a moment before getting her favorite, the handcuffs shark silver metal with red fluffy cuffs she clamped my wrist in one and wrapped the chain twice around the metal of my bed and cuffed the other cuff to its own chain around my bedframe close to the bed post, she the did the same with another pair to the other side of my bed leaving my arms outstreched across the bed with no hope of escape without the handcuff key she now put around her neck and down her bra she ran her hand down my bare chest pushing apart my shirt where it still sat on my shoulders and arms, till her hand met my belt "umm take it off please baby" I begged but she kept going folding my dick a little till she smirked undoing my belt pulling my jeans and underwear off me throwing them to the floor my cock standing tall visbaly throbbing precum dripping down my head and shaft making her giggle playfully, rubbing the precum into my head "ooohh god, yes baby! Yes! More, more I'm begging you" I plead slightly humping her hand but she squeezed my shaft and moved away grabbing my ankle and some rope from her bag, she tied my ankles to either bedpost leaving me at her mercy completely with no way of moving or escaping the only moment I had the thrusting and squirming of my hips "what are you going to do to me tonight baby?"
"You'll find out my love" she smiled grabbing her biggest toy and instantly I wanted to cum the moment the vibrating head of her mercilous magic wand touched my cock 
"UUUUuuuuuuuuhhhhh!! Yes! Yes! Baby I'm gonna cum!" I sqealed grabbing the cuffs in my desperation 
"It's only in low Jake" she smirked 
"Ummmm but it feels so good" I groaned and she turned it up
"Auuughhhhhhhhhh!!! Baby! Baby! Holy fuck! I'm gonna cum! Stop please I'm about to cum!" I begged her my hips jerking up as I was so close feeling my edge seconds away sis she stopped taking it off me 
"Too powerful tonight?" She asks and I nodded getting my breath back so she put it down getting the little toy I was much more used too putting it close to my face so I gave it a little kiss on the rubbery plastic before she squirted a little lube on her hand and rubbed slowly and tenderly up and down my shaft and then around the toy before slipping it on me sitting It at my base and she smiled wickedly clicking it on letting it tighten and vibrate around me not as powerful as the wand by any means but enough to make me squirm from pleasure my knees trying to connect where I was squirming so much against the restrains 
"Uuummmmmm baby" I groaned thrusting my hips up for some mild release from the pleasure she smirked kissing my head whenever I groaned making me groan much much more wanting her heavenly kisses till she pulled back "ummm what else baby? Oe are you just tieing me up and letting me suffer tonight?" I asked her but she smirked winking at me getting the little blue sculped plastic toy squirting lube all over it I was confused a moment was she going to… she never usually lubes her vibrators? And if so why tie me up? Unless she thinks I won't be able to help myself? Plus the blue toy isn't the one she puts inside her? She puts the purple one inside her so where's…. Oooohh "baby? Is that toy going where I think it's going?" I asked 
"Where do you think it's going jake?' she asked still rubbing the lube across the toy 
"Well given I know that's not yours and you are uhhh lubing it alot" I said a little I don't know intreeged, interested, horny, confused, it was a strange mix of emotions 
"Where do you think it's going jake?" She repeated 
"Baby?' I asked slightly groaning from the vibration still around me "is that going… inside me?" I asked and she giggled in her playfully way that I know means yes. "Uuuhh you mean it?" I asked both in fear and excitement, I was okay with it when she mentioned about it months ago it was open to it for sure but to be faced with it  now tonight with the toy in her hand I admit I was a little scared "okay, baby. Just be gentle I've never done it before" I told her and she nodded giving my cock kisses as she gently moved me where she could a moment I didn't know what to think or how it would feel as I felt the cold of the lube on the plastic close to me I held my breath before I felt her push it in. It hurt at first but I couldn't deny it was like getting spanked or a love bite a sweet stinging pain that only made me hornyier she pushed more and more and more until I took every inch of the toy leaving only the base exposed it felt strange like being stretched out but I guess that's how she feels, she smirked gently pulling out and then back in the head of the toy rubbing in something inside me that felt… Soo good. "Uughhh baby! More! More!" I begged and she giggled doing as I asked 
"Aww jake you like it?" She asks 
"Like it? Ummmm baby I love it!" I groaned squirming against the covers as I felt so good feeling it moving inside me rubbing in a place I didn't even know about, the vibration around my cocks shaft and her evil restrains all of it made me feel so good "ummmmmmm I love being your little plaything y/n" I smirked "uuhh! I love you so much" I groaned getting closer and closer
"Aww I love you too jake" she smiled kissing my lips very gently but as she did she twisted the base of the toy and it began to vibrate inside me rubbing it's vibrating head right in that new place 
"UUUUGHHHHHHH!! BABY! BABY!" I Screamed "uuuuuuh faster, harder! Please y/n baby!"
"Awww jake thats so cute" she smiled moving the toy faster and turning up the one around my cock onto full "awww look at my sweet boy all desperate for me"
"I'm more then desperate baby" I groaned "please give it to me. Ummm give me everything baby"
"Is that what my boy wants?" She asks 
"It is, I need you please" I begged 
"The let the neighborhood know who owns you" she growled in my ear Turning up the toy inside me to full too
"UUUUuuuuuuuuhhhhh Uughhh uughhh! Baby! I'm all yours, I'm all yours my beautiful girlfriend, every inch of Me, every part of me ummm it's yours, faster harder please I need you! My body is yours my love now fucking take me!" I screamed and before I could even reach I felt her around me as she let me slip inside her the ring still around my base vibrating like crazy now slightly vibrating in her clit too the toy still deep inside me rubbing on me and now her warm dripping pussy around me "UUUUUUUGGHHHH UUUUUUUUUUUUHHH!!! BABY! Y/N! Y/N!" I screamed second from my orgasum fighting my restrains, fighting my own hips as I desperately and instinctively fucked her unable to stop myself making her moan and groan tightening around me very so often but I saw her hand grab something else and part of me was scared but the magic wand cake back asnsheoushed it against her clit on high vibrating her whole pussy which may have uhhh well… "UUUUUUUUUUHHHHH UUUUMMMM UHH UUUH UUUUH UHH UUUGHHHHH! BABY! BABY! BABY! FUCK! fuck! Fuck! I love you, I love you, I love you, oohhh my beautiful y/n my beautiful baby girl UUUUUUUGGHHHH……" I screamed at the top of my lungs finishing deep inside her feeling her squirt on me as she clearly hit her own seconds after me turning the wand off and collapsing in my chest even if I still felt the toys going drawing all my attention to my cock and my insides "baby, as much as I wanna cuddle can you take the toys off… please, I'll get overwhelmed again if you don't" I remind her and she nodded pulling the toys out and off me and letting me out the restrains "I love when we do that" I smiled cuddling her tightly
"Ummm I do too" she smiled hugging me close "love you" she giggled
"Love you too baby" I smiled kissing her sweet lips and tapping her nose "where did you get that anyway never seen a blue toy before?"
"Online they had a sale and I thought maybe you should have one all for your own" she smiled "you like it?"
"Very much, anything involving that toy can it please uhh be moved up the list" 
"We'll see jake" she smiled "so… your turn?" She asks sitting up hand offering me the handcuffs I smirked taking them from her and flipping her over 
"My turn" I growled kissing down her neck and pulling down her bra to expose those sexy breasts ….

character ask: kagami, momoi, alex and himuro 👀👀👀
!!! omg thank u Ceru! u might be one of my favorite mutuals <33 (putting this under a read more just so I can speak at lengths about each individual character)
Why I like Kagami: this is where I sarcastically ask “why DON’T i like him” but that’s literally the next question so; he’s everything i want to be and more. He has the determination and the willpower to make his own dreams come true, he’s gay as shit, he’s tall and buff and well-adjusted, mature enough to live on his own at an annoyingly young age, he’s funny and dumb and a total himbo as well as an excellent advisor bc of how grounded he is.
Why I don’t: I’m... not really good with explosive people. Violent men with loud voices especially scare me, and I’d think I’d flinch around him a lot and that would make me rlly anxious.
Favorite episode: it’s a toss-up between the Seirin fam visiting his place for the first time (is it where Kuroko confesses his love to him and then passes out in his arms? idk), and the onsen episode. I also loved all his plays against Kise and Aomine. AND the training camp w him running a lot in the sand.
Favorite season/movie: season 2 probably because he’s not a jerk anymore, but he’s still on his way to shed off any asshole behavior stuck to him. And I actually liked Last Game?
Favorite line: “There’s no such thing as useless effort.” and “This is our drama and we write the plot.” because he’s so ridiculous.
Favorite outfit: all of his casual fits... comfy but manly is my Jam
OTP: AoKaga....they’re truly soulmates, star-crossed lovers, canonically brought together by fate.
Brotp/otp no. 2: KagaKuro, I love them
Head Canon: I have several collections because I think too much about this boy, but here’s something I think about his family: he doesn’t know what happened to his mom. He never asked, because it wasn’t relevant, and he didn’t want to inconvenience his dad by questioning him. Occasionally, as a kid he felt like he was missing out on something (seeing other kids with their moms, feeling like they’re being treated with much more gentle care because they have moms), but as he grew older he realized that nurturing behavior shouldn’t have been limited to only a mother, and that he was just straight up neglected without any regards to missing a parent in his life.
Unpopular opinion: I never realized this was an unpopular opinion but I’m glad he went back to America at the end of Last Game. Obviously, it’s sad that he had to separate from the others, but I felt like Japanese basketball has always been just a stepping point to him, and now that he’d beat the best of them, it was time to move on. And it also warms my heart that him getting scouted in the US gave Aomine hope to aim big, too. I felt like both of them would’ve felt trapped in Japan with their skill sets.
A wish: I want him to be happy and gay and to confront Himuro and tell him how hurt he was by how he treated him and probably do the same to his dad too
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: ....whatever I’d say Shinsun has probably written it/will write it, but I don’t want him to forget about the GoM just because he becomes a world-famous athlete.
5 words to best describe them: sweet child with anger issues
My nickname for them: not mine (it’s Sypha’s) but “Kags”, Kagami, Tigerboy, Kagababe, Baby
Why I like Momoi: she is SO nurturing and sweet and she cares so much about her boys!! I’m sorry it always turns into “how they remind me of myself” but actually I get feeling like a background character and being the moral/emotional/physical support of those who are more talented or in any way better than you. I feel a strange kind of kinship with her and also,,, feminine girls make my heart stop, and it doesn’t get more feminine than Momoi. Added: Aomine aside, the Touou team wouldn’t worth shit without her skills tbh, and she’s not in any way less than the GoM. Also, I appreciate her being the one person to try to keep their friend group together.
Why I don’t: Analytical People Scare me like!! how do u know stuff people are Unknowable!! I usually am also irked by her pointing out Riko’s breast size but I can just pretend that’s in a gay way (maybe Momoi likes girls with small boobs and she’s just bad at flirting) (also I don’t exactly liked her calling Aomine a “ganguro” but I have too little knowledge on the use of this word to say exactly why)
Favorite episode (scene if movie): uh the one where Aomine made her cry? It really came through how much love she actually has for her friends at that one.
Favorite season/movie: she was great in all of them!!
Favorite line: I can’t remember the exact quote and Google isn’t really helpful either but the one where she made Kuroko promise they’ll always play together or something? Or that they’re gonna beat Aomine?? idk?
Favorite outfit: I like all of them but mostly I just appreciate her wearing so many hoodies, she looks so cute in them
OTP / Brotp: it’s both AoMomo. I feel like the have the most special and strongest bond in the entire series.
Head Canon: She’s never been shown to do, but I feel like she wears Aomine’s clothes a Lot. Also, they definitely have sleepovers To This Day.
Unpopular opinion: Momoi is good at basketball and she loves playing!!! But try being successful in it when ur opponents are Giants and Way More Buff than you are
A wish: I wish people appreciated her more!! Both in fandom and in canon. She’s an amazing person and she has her own skills and strengths that are rarely explored or even mentioned anywhere.
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: her falling out with her boys ;-; I do not want that
5 words to best describe them: strawberry sweetheart to steal ur heart
My nickname for them: Satsuki :> I feel like it’s a little too much to call characters on their first names sometimes but hers is so cute I can’t
Why I like Alex: yet again another woman with an extensive skill set. I love her persistence and again I appreciate getting disillusioned and finding your way back to the thing you love. Also it’s just sweet that she did that by teaching (again, something I can relate to)
Why I don’t: the whole “kissing children” thing rubbed me the wrong way but again, just like Momoi’s obsession with comparing breast sizes, it’s just bad/sexist writing from Fujimaki probably
Favorite episode (scene if movie): adshg any and all where she expressed that Himuro and Kagami are equally important to her <33 that shit makes my heart burst
Favorite season/movie: she only appears towards the end of s2 and in s3 so... I guess s3?
Favorite line: its so Bad that u literally can’t find the iconic quotes of these iconic ladies anywhere but... her story on finding her passion again through teaching kids, and anytime she mentions her fondness of Kagami and Himuro.
Favorite outfit: her iconic olive green coat with the short red shorts... wtf was that I loved it.
OTP: she doesn’t really interact with people her age but I’ve heard she’s shipped with Masako Araki and I’ve seen some seriously good fanarts and like... Yes Good I’d Love To See It
Brotp: I feel like her and Himuro would be that sassy pair that Kagami tries and fails to contain and they get into all sorts of weird, absurd situations asdjs what I’m trying to say is Kagami has to bail them out of jail from time to time
Head Canon: fck me if I’m wrong but she’s the lesbian single mom of the two gay kids she reluctantly adopted from the streets
Unpopular opinion: it’s more like another headcanon, but she can dunk and she taught Kagami how to do it.
A wish: I’d love her to coach the Seirin fam more!! Pls let her be part of her children’s lives (she could also judge streetball games between the goms it would be fun)
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: anything about her being romantically involved with her pupils makes me.................no
5 words to best describe them: Beautiful Beach Blonde Basketball....goddess
My nickname for them: Alex!! sometimes An Icon
Why I like Himuro: em dash Asdgsdj I’m joking, I’m becoming more and more fond of the boy. Once I realized that he shouldn’t have been the “bigger person” in that situation and one year doesn’t really mean much when you’re that young and that hurt, I realized he’s actually a good and hard-working kid and I’m sorry for giving him so much shade. Also I really like his snark and sass, but that might not even be canon at this point tbh
Why I don’t: I’m still sort of irked by him beating down on Kagami because he was envious/mad, but I realized the aspect of that situation that Really got to me was how devoted Kagami still was to him after all that. That devotion was what felt toxic, nothing that Himuro actually did to him.
Favorite episode (scene if movie): the time they met up w Kagami just to exchange a dramatic socially distancing bro fist and a few encouraging words.... gays be Like That
Favorite season/movie: I really didn’t mind s3 Himuro
Favorite line: apparently he’s said some iconic stuff that I don’t remember (and my sources don’t seem really legit) but I’m gonna say “let’s see you become number 1, bro” because again, that’s just so ridiculous and endearing. On one hand he really went from loathing Kagami to rooting for him and wanting him to reach his full potential and on the other, honey ur  like 17 stop speaking like That
Favorite outfit: his knitted V-neck sweaters and the black coat with the white fur.... boy’s got all the fashion sense that’s missing from Kagami
OTP: can I say.....AoHimu asdfh I ship 3/4 of these characters with Aomine what does that say about me
Brotp: KagaHimu. They can be sweet, but I’ve only ever seen Jake write them really well
Head Canon: I’ve been entertaining the idea of....trans Himuro.....
Unpopular opinion: everyone thinks that Kagami is the violent kid and Himuro is the chill, sweet child who’s somehow wound up with this mess of a fiery tiger, but it’s actually Himuro who taught Kagami how to fight and Kagami learned quite a lot of aggression from him
A wish: I feel like Himuro should’ve gotten a separate episode to explore his thoughts, feelings and past. He had so much potential as a character Is2g
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: him quitting basketball would fucking destroy me. I’d be devastated for others too, but it would really pull on my heartstrings if he just dropped the only thing he’s been so passionate about.
5 words to best describe them: gender-non-conforming emo child
My nickname for them: Himu, Tatsuya, Tatsu

Episode 4 - [So I’m Dating A Sorceress] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
(The Next Day) | (School)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I’m walking with Darci through the school-- since apparently nothing serious enough happened to shut the place down. But thankfully, yesterday at lunch went great. It was amazing to eat lunch with both my friends and my boyfriend. 
“You’ve got that ‘dream-boat’ look on your face again, Arya.” I hear Darci say.
Glancing over at her as she snickers, I ask her what she’s talking about. 
“You’re daydreaming face! The face you make when you’re thinking about your boyfriend, you know?” 
“How did you…?” 
“Oh, trust me, I get the same look when I’m thinking about Tobes. My dad’s always calling me out for it, too.” 
“Hmm..”
Darci suddenly gasps, grabs my wrist, and hauls me off in the direction of a group. 
“Claire! You’re back!” Darci exclaims, letting my wrist go. 
She goes to hug Claire but instinctively pulls back before they do. 
“You’re not sick anymore… right?” 
“Nope!” 
“Awesome!” 
They hug, as my presence is noticed by Toby and Jim.
“Hey, Arya.”
“Sup, Lake.” 
He frowns.
“What’s wrong?” I ask.
“Nothing. I just,-- you know you don’t have to call me ‘Lake’, right?”
“Oh, sorry. Just a habit, I guess.” 
I turn to the duke.
“Hey, Tobes.” I smile.
“Sup, Arya.” He waves.
When Darci and Claire pull away laughing, all eyes fall on them. 
“That was one killer cold!” Darci stumps, “We gotta celebrate now that you’re back!!” 
Toby balls his hands up into fists excitedly. 
“Are you thinking what I’m thinking?”
Darci squeals, looking at me and Claire and Jim. 
“Double date!”
“Triple date!” 
Toby and Darci look at each other, Toby being confused.
“Triple? Who else do we know that’s dating?” 
Darci looks at me, pleadingly. 
Toby gasps.
“No way! You have a boyfrie--” 
Darci quickly covers Tobes’ mouth. 
“It’s a secret!!!” She whisper-shouts.
Claire’s face lights up and she realizes the news. 
“No. Way. Who is it??” 
Darci looks at me, begging me with her expression for permission to tell. I cross my arms and scoff.
“Fine. But this information does NOT leave this circle!!” 
“Got it!” 
“Understood!” Pipes Toby.
Everyone looks at Jim.
“Why would I want to tell? Your secret’s safe with me.” 
I nod at Darci, giving her permission to tell.
She squeals like a fangirl-shipper. “It’s Douxie!” 
The dust I feel on my cheeks comes to life, painting my face with pink and red blush. Toby and Claire gasp.
“You’re dating HIM??”
“Keep your voice down, Claire!!!” I hiss.
Toby snickers, “I told you that you were gonna wanna swoon.” 
I grumble under my breath, “Tch.” 
“Ok, you have a lot to explain later!” 
“Fine, fine. But I think he has to work tonight.” I mention. 
“Who, Douxie?” 
“Yeah. So, let me text him and see what’s happening. I’ll tell you guys what times work best for us.”
“And Toby and I will text you what we’re planning on doing for the date.” Darci nods to me. 
I return the gesture.
“Yeah. It’ll be good to get out.” Claire pips.
 The bell rings and we all split. 
“See you guys tonight~!” 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
As I’m sitting in history class, half-listening to Ms. Lilinud teaching the class, I’m holding my phone underneath my desk and texting Douxie about what his work schedule looks like for tonight. 
__________________
Arya: Hey, love, so our news of being together may have reached out just a bit to Darci, Claire, Toby and Jim. Though, for now, they’ve promised not to tell anyone.
Arya: But they’ve invited us out to a triple date tonight and I was wondering how long it looks like you’ll be on the clock? 
Douxie: Well, my shift’s over at 5:30 tonight, and I’m going in at 3:30. 
Douxie: What were they thinking of doing for the triple date?
____________________________
I text him all the details and then go into my contacts and text Darci what I learned.
I tell her that he’ll be working until 5:30 and she tells me that they were thinking of catching a movie at the theater. Toby’s pick. (And he’s keeping it a surprise, apparently.) Something tells me it’s going to be a scary movie… The cliche. And that we’d be going to a fancy steak place, too. Sounds great, and I really look forward to it. 
I sigh, putting my phone away to listen to the class lecture… boring. 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
(Time Skip)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It’s 5:53 right now, and I’m finally done getting ready for the date. I hear a knock at the front door and go to get it. (It’s really helpful that Jake’s over at a friend’s house tonight…) When I open the door, I find a very casual -- yet charming -- Douxie waiting on the front steps. He sees me in my attire and sort of just melts in his stance. 
He shakes his head, snapping out of my ‘magical’ trance. I laugh softly to myself and notice the flowers in his hands. They’re lilies, my favorite kind. He chuckles, rubbing the nape of his neck nervously, as he holds the bouquet out for me to have.
“For you, love.” He says, 
I smile, thanking him as I take them and quickly rush them to a vase. (After letting him in.) Once I add some water and put the lilies into a golden-clear colored vase, I turn to Douxie and we head on out. (Quick stay, but still.) 
I lock up the house behind me and we start walking for the restaurant. On the way, idle chit chat is made. 
“You look beautiful.” He tells me.
My cheeks turn pink as our hands brush up against each other while we walk. 
“And you look… charming, in the best way possible.” 
“Why thank you, love.” 
“Love?” I quote him.
“What’s wrong? Don’t like it?” 
“No, no, I like it! It’s just sudden… Is all…” 
“Hmm.. You know, you’re actually quite adorable when flustered.” 
“Douxie!” I giggle.
“Ah, come on, you know you like my flirting.” He nudges into me, 
I sigh contently, “I suppose you’re right.. I cannot deny a good liking to puns and flirts.”
“Yeah, that’s the Arya I know.” 
I lean closer to him and take his hand in mine. We walk the rest of the way, which isn’t very far, admiring the town at sunset. 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
When we arrive at the restaurant, we find Toby and Darci, and Jim and Claire sitting at a round table outside. It’s nice out, so I don’t really mind. But by the looks on Darci and Toby’s faces, we just missed an awkward moment. (Which I think is dodging a bullet, so whatever.) 
“Hey guys!” I greet them.
They all look to us as we approach -- Toby and Darci smiling like children on Christmas morning. Stupid but adorable. Douxie helps me into my seat, pushing me in, before taking his place right next to me. I pick up my menu and notice that a lot of the prices are through the roof. 
“Yikes! This place IS fancy!” I joke.
I earn a few laughs, before Toby brightens up and turns to Darci.
“Only the best for my Darci.” 
“Aww, T.P.” She swoons. 
Everyone goes to their menus. 
“Ooh! I heard the Duck Confede is stellar. I think I’ll get that.” 
“Same! O-M-G, when I went to Paris with the fam, the duck was amazing!” 
“Aaah, Pari~! Ze city of love! Tell me more?” Toby leans in closer to Darci, as I continue to browse the selections. 
I hear Claire talking about Paris in the background, but I don’t really tune in. I look over at Douxie and see him browsing the food, too.
“Hey, have you been here before?” I ask.
“Yes, but not as much as you’d think.”
“What’s your favorite thing to order here? I could use a recommendation right now, haha.” 
“I really like the stew and the steak. And their mashed potatoes are rather good too.” He leans in to whisper, “It’s a secret recipe that I have yet to slip out of the chef, haha.” 
“Hah. Well, you are always looking to improve your cooking!” 
As the table shifts suddenly, and Jim starts repeating the word ‘ow’, Douxie and I turn our heads to the two best friends, suspiciously…
O...Okay? Well, anyways… 
Darci turns her attention to both Claire and myself.
“So, Claire, Arya… You two both saw the first Danger House, right?” 
“Isn’t that a horror movie?” I ask. 
“You guessed correctly!”
“I don’t do great with horror movies…” 
Douxie chuckles from beside me, to which I roll my eyes-- smirking.
Darci turns to Claire, narrowing her gaze, “I haven’t seen it.” 
“O-M-G, well, where do I start?” 
As I listen to Darci explaining the movie’s basic plot, I notice Toby and Jim whisper-fighting behind their menus. ...Weird… 
I notice one of those familiar faces approaching our table in the restaurant uniform. 
When she gets to our side, she looks up from her notepad and sees Douxie and I, and we instantly recognize her. 
Zoe sighs and narrows her dagger-like glare onto Douxie. 
“Welcome to Minty’s Dining, where everything is perfectly in place. What can I get you on this lovely evening..?” She asks, as if she hates it here. 
I wouldn’t blame her if she has to greet people like that everytime. ‘Where everything is perfectly in place’? That’s weird. Really weird. 
Darci looks at Zoe and points to her menu.
“Ok, level with me,” 
As Darci is asking her food question, Toby turns to Douxie and I and starts making conversation.
“So, how long have you two been dating?” He asks,
“Not very long. Just since Saturday.” 
“Really? You two are being so… couple-y. It’s like you’ve been together longer than that.” I shrug, “Well, we’ve been friends since practically ever. You could just say that we’re really close in bond.” 
Douxie chuckles, laying his gaze on me, adoringly. I smile back just as strongly. 
“You two are such a cute couple.” Clarie notes. 
“Thanks. I could say the same of you and Jim,” and I turn to look at Toby, “And you and Darci.” 
“That’s awful sweet of you, but please, don't stop.” Toby jokes.
It earns a chuckle out of me.
As Zoe explains the ‘duck feet’ meal isn’t all that is says, Claire starts to sway back and forth in her chair, as if she’s really dizzy. She grabs her drink of water and takes a drink from it….
Toby whispers-shouts at Jim, something that I don't catch, but it clearly affects him. 
He takes his own menu and passes it to Zoe.
“Steaks all around! Thank you, Zeus. I’m sure you’re busy.”
“My name is Zoe.” She sighs, “Whatever. How do you want your steak prepared?” 
“Well done.” Jim answers,
“Well done~!” Toby says, followed by the same answer from me and Douxie.
Zoe hardly even looks at Claire before… 
Claire lets out a roar? 
“Raw! Dripping with blood!” 
I lean back in my chair instinctively, all sorts of freaked out. Douxie does the same. 
Everyone else looks at Claire, like she’s gone psycho.
Claire realizes what she’s said and quickly covers her mouth, shocked. Zoe gives Claire an impressed look, before writing that down.
“As you wish.” She smirks, “Six steaks, one extremely raw.” 
“I’ll be back with your orders shortly,” Zoe walks off. 
Douxie’s voice is slim, and quiet, but I still hear him when he asks me, 
“Tell me you saw that too…?” 
I nod. 
Claire stands up, suddenly freaked out with herself, and looks to Darci for help.
“Darc’? Bathroom?” 
Darci gets up to go with her and Toby starts panicking.
Douxie looks at me, questioning if I’m going to go with, which I probably should, but probably won’t. 
Claire looks back at me with sad eyes and I cave in. I get up and go to go.
I hear a thud, and a whimper and look back at Toby, wincing in pain. 
“The other… rule three…!” He squeaks. 
Dunno what that’s about, but it makes Darci freak.
“T.P! Are you OK? What happened?!” 
She clicks her tongue, looking to me, “I’ll be right there.” 
I sigh, looking at Douxie with a reassuring, and hopeful smile.
“I’ll take care of Claire until you get there.”
I follow Claire to the bathroom.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
We open the door to the lady’s room and walk in. I turn on one of the sinks and motion for Claire to come closer. 
“Here, try splashing your face with some cold water.” I suggest,
She nods and does what I say. 
“Come on, Claire, pull it together!” She tells herself. 
She looks in the mirror and sighs, before splashing her face again.
“That was quite a show you pulled out there. Any idea what happened?” 
“No. I just don't know what came over me.”
“Well, I think I might know…” 
Claire splashes her face again, and the lights here in the bathroom shut off. My suspicions are only confirmed when Claire’s reflection doesn’t follow her actions in the mirror. Instead, her face freezes in view. 
When Claire comes up and wipes her eyes, she sees her frozen reflection and questions it. 
“Uhh…” She hums.
Claire reaches her hand to touch the glass but her image comes to life. -- Which is enough to freak anyone out, really.
“Helloo~, darling!!” Says a harmful voice, “Claire, is it?” 
Claire backs up into the sink behind her. 
“This. Is. Not. Real!” 
I sigh, biting my nails, “I’m afraid it is, actually.” 
I step into view of the first mirror. 
“Hello, Morgana.” 
“Why, if it isn’t little miss Arya Sithers. My little ‘experiment’ from way back when. You were fun all those years ago~.” 
“This isn't a game, you know.” I snap. 
Claire, now breathing heavily, grabs onto my arm and hugs tight, confused.
“Arya? What is going on?!” 
“Can’t say. Don’t know. Not yet anyways.” 
“Oh, there’s that daring spirit of yours! I always did adore that part of you. You might even say that you got it from me~.”
“Bullshit. Now, this is how this is going to go--” 
“Ah, ah! Now, now, spirit. Be a good little pet and play nice.” 
“You do not own me.” 
“ARYA WHAT IS GOING ON!!?” 
“Claire, be quiet for like, two seconds, ok?” 
Claire’s ‘reflection’ in the mirror looks at the original.
“Ahaha, sorry dear. Did I scare you?”
“T-this isn’t real!” Claire rubs her eyes, “I’m-- I’m imagining this!” 
She tries running for the door, but gets held up by an invisible force… Or not really. More like… Magic.
“Claire!!” I cry out.
“Morgana, release her!! Now!!” 
“That’s funny. It almost sounds like you’re telling me what to do?” 
“I did! Let her go!” 
Morgana puts Claire down inside the restroom, slamming the door shut lock. 
“And you,” She says towards Claire,
I grab the maiden and pull her close. I will protect her.
“You think I’m just a reflection that you can run away from? I am under your skin.”
What? 
“No. You didn’t!!” 
Claire looks down at her hands, horrified. 
“Get out of me!” 
She slaps herself, hard.
“Claire!! Don't! That’s not gonna work!” 
“She’s right, you know~.” 
I glare daggers into the mirror, which reveals now Morgana’s form instead of Claire’s.
“Give me one good reason to not tear you apart! Right here! Right now!” 
“Because. You don’t want your date to end so soon, do you?” 
“Is that a threat?” 
“A threat for you? No. It’s a threat meant for HIM. Your precious Hisirdoux.” 
“Shut up!!” 
Morgana’s laugh echoes through the stalls. Now really freaking out, Claire starts walking backwards in between the line of stalls, 
“Stop it!” She cries.
She starts running herself into the doors.
“Claire! I just told you! That’s not going to work!!” 
I try to go to her, but a physical magic grabs me and hauls me back-- right into the wall. I grunt, my vision going hazy. A yellow light crawls out of the mirrors and approaches Claire. Morgana… No! 
“My! You are strong! Strong enough to wield my weapon. Strong enough to be my gracious host. You open up a big enough door and something’s bound to escape.” 
What… is she talking about?
“The portal… The sickness… The signs under my bed!” 
“You already told Gunmar all he needs to know, but since I’m out and about, I thought we kill Merlin’s Trollhunter! As soon as we get him alone!” 
“Claire…! No!!” 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I black out for a second. But it’s not long before ‘Claire’ is waking me up, aside Darci.
“Claire? What happened!!” 
“I don’t know. She just… fainted.” 
“Arya!”
I feel water splash me on the face. I open my eyes, a heavy pain all across my backside. Darci lets out a breath of relief and helps me up. 
“Arya are you OK?” 
“More like … K.O.ed.” I groan.
I glance over at Claire as Darci is checking me for bruises or broken bones. But her eyes glow yellow, and I know it really happened. Morgana… took Claire.

Into The Woods - Chapter Fourteen.
Story also available on wattpad
Chapter One Previous Chapter
Helping
‘’Liu!’’
‘’Mmnngghh…’’
‘’Liu! Liu, get up!’’
‘’Uuuggghhhh…’’
‘’LIU!’’
‘’Ack!’’ Liu was shoved roughly, his head banging against metal. He groaned and opened his eyes, glaring at the person who had awoken him. ‘’Dude...what the hell…’’ he muttered to the black, white and red blur in front of him.
‘’We need to go!’’ Jeff hissed. ‘’C’mon, we’re still in the car dude!’’
Liu sat up, rubbing at his groggy head. He grunted. ‘’I had the weirdest fucking dream…’’ he muttered. ‘’Some crazy goth lady was trying to kill us while singing Neil Diamond’s ‘Sweet Caroline’.’’
‘’That happened. That was real.’’
‘’What-’’ Liu looked around. They were on a lawn, and a well maintained one at that. The house in front of them looked pretty expensive. ‘’Where are we?’’
‘’The truck owner’s house.’’ Jeff replied with a shrug. ‘’I think we passed into Arkansas.’’
‘’Arkansas?!’’ Liu nearly leapt off the truck in shock. Instead he scooted calmly over the edge and dropped down, looking around. ‘’Shit...we were supposed to head for Texas!’’
‘’I’m just glad we got away.’’ Jeff murmured as he scooted himself over to the edge of the truck. ‘’Little help?’’
‘’Huh? Oh, right.’’ Liu helped his brother get back down on the ground. ‘’How’s your leg?’’ he asked softly.
‘’Hurts like a bitch.’’ Jeff muttered back. Liu gave a slight nod.
‘’We’ll find somewhere to rest for the night, have something to eat. It’ll feel better in the morning.’’
Jeff nodded. The two of them slowly walked off the lawn and down the street, just trying to find- well, somewhere to stay for the night. They managed to make their way from what looked to be an upper-class neighborhood to a much poorer area. The houses got smaller and the lawns became more unkempt. Usually this kind of area would unnerve Jeff and Liu, but...honestly it didn’t faze them now. It even felt fitting for the two of them in some cruelly funny way.
‘’Liu.’’ Jeff spoke up. The two of them stopped.
‘’What’s wrong? Does your leg hurt?’’
‘’No, no-’’ Jeff sniffed a couple times. ‘’You smell that?’’
Liu frowned, sniffing the air. He noticed the scent of freshly baked bread, and his stomach growled in hunger. Jeff looked up at him. Liu hesitated for a moment before pulling Jeff along towards the scent. ‘’C’mon.’’
They followed the smell to a backyard. Liu set Jeff down against a wall and glanced around the wall to look around. He spotted an open window, and on the sill, a plate of small bread rolls. His eyes widened. It was almost too good to be true. He glanced over at Jeff. ‘’...Wait here.’’
Liu carefully crept through the backyard and stopped at the window sill. He crouched down out of sight and reached up towards the bread rolls. However, instead of grabbing a bread roll, his hand met...another hand.
‘’AAAAAA-’’
‘’AAA-’’
Liu leapt back, crawling backwards across the backyard, his eyes wide and staring at the window. Standing in the window was a girl, maybe a little older than Jeff but older than Liu. her skin was dark, and she had long black hair tied up in a ponytail. Pinkish-purple streaks ran through her bangs as she stared at Liu with wide, surprised eyes. Her expression went from shocked and surprised to...angry.
‘’Were ya just tryna steal from me?!’’ she yelped in a thick, southern accent that instilled Liu with paralysing fear.
‘’N-no-! I was-’’ he gulped, looking around for an excuse. ‘’O-o-okay, I was, but-! I-I can explain!’’
‘’Make it quick.’’ she gave him a firm look.
‘’I was taking them for my brother! He’s hungry, a-and hurt!’’
The girl’s expression softened. ‘’Your brother?’’ she asked. She tilted her head. ‘’...y’all don’t have food…?’’
Liu shook his head. ‘’No, we don’t.’’ he hesitated before adding. ‘’We just wanted a couple pieces of bread, that’s all.’’ He hoped desperately that this girl would pity them.
She frowned for a moment and grabbed the plate of bread, pulling it off the sill and out of Liu’s sight. ‘’Hold there a sec.’’ she said before disappearing from the window. Liu sat there for a moment, glancing from where Jeff was hidden to the back door in panic. The back door opened after a couple minutes and the girl stepped out. She walked towards Liu, holding a lunchbox and two travel mugs. She crouched down and held them out to him. ‘’Sorry I was so harsh on ya.’’ she mumbled. ‘’The mugs have stew in ‘em. It’ll keep y’all warm and full.’’ she smiled. ‘’You’re welcome ta come inside for more, if ya want. Ya can save the stuff I packed for when y’all leave.’’
‘’I-inside?’’
‘’It’s cold out here, ain’t it?’’ she tilted her head at him. ‘’And you said your brother was hurt. I have a medkit upstairs that y'all can borrow.’’
Liu paused, staring at the food she was offering him, then over at the open back door. Somewhere warm and safe to stay- Jeff could rest, get medical help and-
"Where are your parents?"
"Oh!" She shifted on her feet. "My mom is on a trip, and my- dad's not around, so it's just me and my little brother."
Just her and her brother...Liu blinked. This was a valuable thing, a warm place to stay and rest. Taking this opportunity, without telling this overly kind girl who they were and why they were on the run...it would be manipulation. An awful, selfish lie- but when he thought of Jeff…
"We'd love to, thank you."
‘’Great!’’ she smiled brightly. ‘’You go git yer brother, I’ll leave the back open for y’all to come in.’’
Liu watched her walk back inside the house. He quickly stood up and ran over to the side of the house. Jeff looked up at him in surprise. ‘’Did you get anything?’’ he asked. Liu walked over to him and helped him stand up.
‘’Yep,’’ Liu helped him limp to the backyard. ‘’She’s letting us come inside.’’
‘’Inside?!’’ Jeff stared at him in shock. ‘’We can’t go in! W-we-!’’ he glanced aside anxiously. ‘’What if they see me?’’
‘’You’ll be fine, Jeff,’’ Liu murmured to him. ‘’You’re gonna be able to rest, and we’ll get a hot meal.’’
Jeff gave him a worried look as they stepped inside. He looked around. It was a small, cluttered kitchen with a dining table stuffed into it. As they stepped in, the girl Liu had met earlier, now wearing an apron, turned to look at them. She stared at Jeff in surprise. She blinked.
‘’That yer brother?’’ she asked, regaining her words.
‘’Yeah.’’ Liu helped Jeff over to the table and the boy sat down nervously, still staring at the girl. Liu stood up. ‘’Uh- I’m...Louis. This is my brother- uh- Jake.’’
‘’I’m Nina.’’ she smiled. ‘’Y’all like beef stew?’’
‘’Uh-huh.’’ Liu sat down, taking off his bags and scarf. Jeff pulled up his hood in an effort to hide himself. He sniffled. Liu glanced at Jeff and opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by the door to the kitchen swinging open.
‘’Hey sis ha-’’ in the door stood a young boy, maybe around Jeff’s age. Possibly younger. He had lighter skin than Nina, but the same messy black hair. It hung over his eyes slightly and curled around his ears. He wore a striped polo shirt and grey jeans. He looked at Jeff and Liu and blinked in surprise. He frowned. ‘’Uh- Nina? Who’re these?’’
‘’Oh! Chris!’’ she pointed at Liu and Jeff with her wooden spoon. ‘’These’re Louis and Jake! We’re havin’ em as guests!’’ she chirped.
‘’O-oh.’’ Chris fiddled with his hands. ‘’Nice ta meet y’all.’’ he added softly. Liu nodded a bit and raised his hand in greeting. Jeff grunted.
‘’Well don’t just stand there,’’ Nina gestured to the table. ‘’Take a seat. Soups on.’’
Chris slowly walked over to the table and sat down. He glanced at the two of them awkwardly, particularly focusing on Jeff, who was still covering himself with his hood. He glanced anxiously over at Nina, who calmly carried a large glass jug of red liquid. She smiled at Liu as she poured some into each glass. ‘’Y’all like kool aid, right? It’s Chris’s favorite.’’
‘’I haven’t had kool aid in forever.’’ Liu replied, resting his arm on the table. He glanced at Jeff. ‘’Right bro?’’
‘’Mmm.’’
Liu frowned, but didn’t say anything. Nina carried over a big metal pot and a ladle and began serving up the most delicious smelling beef stew Liu had ever smelt. Or maybe he was just hungry. He stared after her as she grabbed some of her bread rolls and put a couple on the edge of each person’s bowl. Liu snatched up a fork and began eating quickly. Nina calmly sat down, ignoring the disgusted look Chris was giving Liu. she clasped her hands together and cleared her throat, closing her eyes. Liu looked up at her.
‘’Bless us lord for providin’ us this bread,’’ she spoke. Chris quickly clasped his hands together too. Liu swallowed quickly and put his hands together. ‘’And for lettin’ me find some company to share your food with. We’re very thankful for ‘em.’’ she opened one eye and smiled over at Liu. ‘’Amen.’’
‘’Amen.’’
‘’Amen.’’
Jeff grunted something that might have been another ‘amen’ but none of them really caught it. Chris grabbed his fork and slowly began to eat. Liu began eating again, a bit slower this time. Nina smiled gently as she watched the two boys dig in. It was silent for a little bit as they all just ate.
"So," Nina eventually broke the silence. "How'd y'all end up on the streets?"
"Streets?" Chris glanced from Nina to their two guests. "Y'all are- homeless?"
"Yeah," Liu shrugged. "We're running away from home. Our parents- didn't treat us great...so we're heading to Mexico, to start a new life."
Chris shot Nina a look, like he didn't trust Liu. Nina didn't notice it, she just frowned sadly. "That's terrible…" she murmured. "You're doing all of that for your brother?"
"Yeah," Liu smiled softly, looking at Jeff. He nudged him. "I gotta look out for my bro, right?"  
Jeff looked at him and grunted. He might have been smiling under his face mask- Liu wasn't sure. Nina laughed softly. "That's sweet." She glanced at Chris and reached over to him, ruffling his hair. "Y'all're makin' me feel like I'm not doin' enough for this li'l rascal."
"Ninaaaa." Chris whined, swatting her hand away. She laughed. Liu chuckled and looked at Jeff. This was nice- a hot meal, a warm place to stay and friendly faces. He looked over at Jeff and tilted his head.
‘’Je-’’ he caught himself. ‘’Jake? Aren’t you hungry?’’ Jeff’s plate was completely untouched. Jeff glanced at him, then slowly over at Nina and Chris. He hesitated, then slowly reached over to grab one of the bread rolls he’d been given. He tugged down his face mask and bit into it. He looked up and realised Chris was staring at him, eyes wide, mouth agape. Horrified. Jeff yanked his face mask up quickly and put the bread down, folding his hands nervously in his lap.
‘’Nina…’’ Chris slowly looked over at his sister. Nina remained calm and composed. She only shot Chris a glare out the corner of her eye. Chris looked up, realising Liu was also glaring at him. He shifted in his seat and looked at Nina again.
‘’Jake,’’ Nina said calmly. ‘’Were those scars on yer face?’’
‘’You got a problem with ‘em?’’ Liu cut in defensively. She shook her head.
‘’Naw,’’ she responded calmly. ‘’I just wanna make sure he takes care of ‘em. We don’t wannem gettin’ infected, right?’’ Liu relaxed and slowly looked at Jeff, then at Nina. ‘’If ye’re okay with it, I’d like to take a look at ‘em after dinner. Make sure you’re okay,’’ she smiled at Jeff, who stared at her. ‘’And I can offer both of y’all some clean clothes, a shower, and you can sleep on our couch.’’
Liu slowly looked over at Jeff. It was silent for a few short moments before he gently nodded. ‘’Okay.’’ he murmured. ‘’...But Liu gets the couch. I don’t mind sleeping on the floor.’’
Nina laughed gently. ‘’I’m sure we can do that.’’ she smiled at him. ‘’Now, why dontcha eat up?’’
Jeff hesitated for a second, then pulled down his mask again and bit into his bread roll again. He chewed quickly at first but eventually began to slow down. He was vaguely aware of conversation around him, but he wasn’t paying attention. He had a headache, and everything felt...hot. Too hot. Was the kitchen always this stuffy? As he continued eating his appetite faded. He couldn’t even bring himself to finish his second bread roll and a good chunk of his stew still sat untouched.
‘’Jake?’’ His attention was pulled back by Liu's voice. He looked at his brother. "Are you done eating?"
"Yeah."
Liu looked a tad worried at the answer but said nothing as Nina cleared up the table. She glanced over her shoulder at the two of them. "Do y'all wanna take some showers?" She asked. "And I can do yer laundry too."
Liu smiled a bit and nodded. He glanced at Jeff. "You can take the first one. I'll stay down here and put our stuff in the laundry."
Jeff nodded and stood up, leaning against the table, and glanced around for a moment. "Chris," Nina said. Chris, who was drying a plate for her, looked up. "Show Jake the bathroom, won't ya? And gettim a towel."
Chris nodded gently and looked over at Jeff. He still looked wildly uncomfortable. "C'mon." He murmured as he crossed the room to the kitchen door. Jeff limped after him silently. He was led upstairs and down a hallway. "Wait 'ere." Chris said, looking again at Jeff's facial scars before walking away. He disappeared into one of the rooms along the hallway for a few moments before returning with a towel. He handed it to Jeff, nodded at him, then walked away. Jeff watched him for a couple moments, then walked into the bathroom.
The shower was extremely welcome. He sat on the bottom of the tub, letting the water just pour over him. Even though his headache had gotten worse, and the warm water wasn't helping at all, it felt nice to just...relax. Plus it felt great to finally wash himself. His hair was a greasy, knotted mess and he really hoped Nina didn't mind him using her shampoo. He asked would've used Chris's but- hers smelt like fruits and flowers.
He stepped out of the shower, feeling surprisingly tired. And even warmer. Maybe he should've used colder water. Leaning against the sink he looked at himself in the mirror through dazed eyes and paused. The last time he'd seen himself- properly seen himself was...at home. He reached up, tracing the scars on his face. They were a dark red colour and beginning to scab over. His skin was whiter than he remembered it being. He rubbed his arm, decorated with faint lines. Scars from only a year ago. His skin felt tight as he moved, and leathery to the touch. It looked disgusting. He looked disgusting. Jeff scratched at his arm, his skin peeling away easily, blood dripping down as he reached up and scratched at the scabs on his face. He could taste blood. His eye- the damaged one- his iris was shrunken and grey. Vision from it was blurry, almost impossible to see out of. He reached up towards it and-
"Ah-choo!"
Jeff was broken out of his thoughts by himself sneezing. He sniffled and grumbled to himself, grabbing some toilet paper and wiping his nose. He coughed a couple times, spotting up phlegm. "ugh…" he murmured. He grabbed the towel he'd been given and sat on the edge of the tub while he wiped himself down, ignoring the red stains he left in it. He put his clothes and face mask on and limped downstairs. His eye could barely stay open he- he felt so tired…
"Jake!" Nina called. Jeff ignored her. "Jake?" He looked up, blinking. Oh- right. He's Jake. Fake names. Nina stood in a doorway to his left, smiling at him. "C'mere, I'll do yer hair for ya." She smiled wide at him. Jeff smiled, just a tiny bit underneath his face mask. He moved to step into the room, but Nina stepped toward him and held onto him, helping him limp into the room.
‘’Thanks.’’ Jeff murmured in slight surprise as he glanced around. A cozy looking living room. Nina gestured for him to sit down while she unwound the cord for her hair dryer.
Jeff tensed slightly at the loud noise of the dryer. The heat wasn't helping either. He whimpered slightly as she brushed knots out of his hair, tugging painfully on his scalp. He screwed his eye shut and grit his teeth while she worked. Suddenly the hair dryer shut off.
"Jake? Ya okay?" Nina asked. "I'm not hurtin' ya, am I?"
"N-No it's fine." Jeff murmured. She frowned.
"I'll be gentle," Nina said softly. She began brushing Jeff's hair again, much more gentle with her brush this time. Jeff relaxed, glancing at her. "Ya have such nice hair, y'know that? A real nice colour…" she smiled at him. Jeff looked surprised. "Really long too...I love it. More boys should have long hair."
"You- think I look good with long hair…?"
"Uh-huh." Nina smiled at him. "You look cool." Jeff smiled wide under his mask. Nina went back to work on his hair, gently brushing knots out of it and occasionally commenting things like "your hair is real soft," and "I'd love to style this."
By the time they'd finished, Nina had tied Jeff's hair up in a short ponytail, and Jeff had gotten even sleepier. Almost ready to pass out. He yawned, then winced. His mouth hurt- a lot. Nina stood up and leaned over him. ‘’Can I look at yer face?’’ she asked. Jeff hesitated. ‘’I just wanna make sure yer healin’ up okay. I won’t freak out. Promise.’’ Jeff glanced aside, then gave her a gentle nod. Nina ever so gently pulled off his mask and- ‘’Oh sweet lord-’’ Jeff whimpered and lowered his face. Nina cupped his face in her hands and stared at him. ‘’Didjer wounds open up again?’’
‘’Shit-!’’ Jeff swore to himself. He’d forgotten he’d picked at the scabs. He gulped. ‘’N-no?’’
‘’Jake…’’ she murmured. She turned around, grabbing the medkit that was on the coffee table. She opened it and pulled out some antiseptic wipes. ‘’Ya gotta be careful with this stuff!’’ she chided. She grabbed one of the wipes. ‘’This is gonna sting. Be brave fer me, okay?’’
‘’Ow-!’’ Jeff seethed as she wiped at his scars. He whined as she cleaned up his wounds. Nina grabbed a bunch of large bandages and began applying them all along his cheeks. Jeff glared at her the whole time, stopping only to cough and sniffle. ‘’I thought the scars were cool.’’ he murmured.
‘’Yeah, but not gettin’ infected wounds is cooler.’’ she lightly patted his head. ‘’Now, wanna let me see yer eye?’’
‘’No.’’ Jeff replied. Nina sighed.
‘’Alri-’’ she paused, staring at something. Jeff tilted his head. ‘’Jake.’’
‘’Yeah…?’’
‘’Yer arm is bleeding.’’
Jeff blinked and looked down. ‘’Shit-!’’ he cursed. Nina grabbed his sleeve, pulling it up. Jeff tried to yank his arm away but found she had a surprisingly strong grip on him. She stared at the long cut along his arm.
‘’You poor thing...how’d ya get all hurt like this?’’ she asked as she grabbed more of the dreaded antiseptic wipes.
‘’Well I- ah-choo!’’ Jeff was cut off by another sneeze, which broke into a coughing fit. He groaned softly and shook his head. ‘’Ugh…’’
Nina pressed her hand against his forehead. Her eyes widened. ‘’Ya gotta fever too?!’’
‘’I’m fine.’’ Jeff murmured. Nina shook her head, tutting.
‘’No you’re not.’’ she chided. She walked over to the door and leaned out of it. ‘’Chris! I need some cough syrup, stat!’’ she called before moving back to Jeff and continuing to clean up his arm.
‘’I got it.’’ Chris said softly as he stepped into the room. He looked at Jeff and his bandaged face as Nina got up and grabbed the medicine from him.
‘’Thank you Chris, yer a peach.’’ she chirped as she opened the bottle. ‘’Can I ask ya to go grab some blankets and pillows from upstairs? We need to get Jeff comfy.’’
Chris nodded and quickly left the room. He quickly went upstairs and into their mom’s room where they kept their spare blankets and pillows. As he stepped out again he saw Liu down at the other end of the hall, stepping out of the bathroom after taking his own shower. He looked up, blinking at Chris. ‘’Your brother’s sick.’’ he said.
‘’What?’’ Liu responded, the panic plain in his voice. Chris nodded and walked over to the stairs. Liu followed after him quickly, hovering around him with worry. Chris walked into the living room, where Nina was busy propping Jeff up against the arm of the couch. ‘’Je-’’ Liu caught himself. ‘’Jake? You okay buddy?’’ he asked worriedly. Jeff looked at him through half-lidded eyes. His cheeks were flushed red and his hands shook slightly. Nina took the blankets and pillows from Chris and propped Jeff up against a couple of them before wrapping him up against blankets. Jeff hummed and curled up amongst the soft blankets.
‘’There ya go…’’ Nina murmured, stroking Jeff’s bandaged cheek with the back of her finger. ‘’Get some rest, ya hear me?’’
‘’Mmm…’’ was all Jeff could respond with. Liu stepped over to him and took off his scarf, draping it around his brother. He crouched down and stroked his hair, watching him worriedly. Nina patted his shoulder.
‘’Don’t worry about ‘im. A couple days rest and he’ll be good as new.’’
‘’You sure?’’
‘’I’m sure.’’ she smiled at him. ‘’Now how about we set up your bed for the night? You’re gettin’ the floor unfortunately.’’

Unveiled
Summary: They boys find out about the reader’s true lineage. Based on episodes 2x21 & 22
Characters: Dean Winchester x black!reader
A/N: So, I’m basically doing a series rewrite of my favorite episodes. This is is based on the the reader’s and Dean’s relationship through the years. Its based on A Match Made in Hell Series.  I’m not doing this in a linear order, but I’ll make a separate masterlist for this series and put the fics in order
Tumblr media
One minute you were in a diner with Sam, grabbing Dean a pie and the next you and Sam were in some ghost town with the other psychics like Sam. Most of them were freaking out and getting on your nerves. One even died because of her stupidity. She tried leaving and a demon killed her for it. Now you were stuck with Ava, the girl who had similar powers to Sam and been missing for weeks; Jake, the super strong dude; and Andy, the pothead who could control people with his mind.  
Finally, you were able to find a house and set up camp there. To make it easier, you and Sam decided to switch off on keeping watch. So, while he and Jake were on the lookout, you took a little nap.
“Wake up, sleepy head.” You heard. Opening your eyes, you saw yellow eyes staring back at you. Immediately, you called for Sam, but when he didn’t come running to help.
“This is a dream, isn’t it?” You asked. Your dad would do this all the time with you. He knew if he talked to you in person you would attack him, so visiting you in your dreams was the safest option.
Yellow Eyes or Azazel as you knew him outstretched his hand to help you get up, but you slap it instead and got up on your own. “Oh, look at Ms. Independent.”
“What do you want Azazel?”
“Uncle Azazel,” he corrected you.
“I’m not calling you that.” You brushed past him, going outside for some much-needed air.
Azazel followed you outside mumbling about how disrespectful this new generation is. “How’s our boy, Sammy doing?”
Giving him the evil eye, you replied, “Fine, despite being kidnapped!”
“Kidnapped? Sweetheart, this is a competition!”
“For what?”
Yellow Eyes turned to dramatically and waved some jazz hands. “For the best and brightest soldier!” He continued to tell you that he just needed one of these psychic kids to lead his demon army not multiple like you and the boys thought. And to top it off, he was rooting for Sam. The demon went as far as killing sweet Jessica because Sam was getting soft.
“Okay, only the strongest win. You know if I really wanted to, I could kill all of them, so what am I doing here?” To you it made no sense for you to be there. Sam and the others may have demon blood in them, but you were half-demon and much more powerful.
“My sweet girl, you’re not here to compete. You’ll work with the winner. That’s why I’m going for Sam. You two are a well-oiled machine. Both of you have the brains and the brawn.” In the middle of cussing him out, Sam woke you up, telling you that Ava was missing.
Eventually, her screams alerted you and you and Sam found a dead Andy, but something wasn’t right. Why did Ava go out of the house? Why was the salt line by the window broken?
Ava tried her white woman tears, but they weren’t working on you and Sam. Soon, as she stopped the fake crying, she admitted everything. She wasn’t missing for 5 months; she was here the whole time killing others. What a fucking psycho!
Jake snapped her neck just as she was conjuring a demon to kill you and Sam. But now he was tripping as well. Azazel got to him and told him only one of them could get out and for some strange reason, he believed he was the one.
“Listen dumbass, Yellow Eyes is not to be trusted. Come with me and Sam, and all three of us can kill him!” Behind you Sam put his knife on the ground as a sign of good faith and never in your life had you wanted to slap Sam silly before this. In your gut, you knew you couldn’t trust Jake and here goes Sam being all kind-hearted. “Sam, don’t,” you cautioned him.
“Its all good, Y/N/N. Look,” he pointed to a Jake putting down his own weapon. But as fast as he put down the weapon was as fast as he knocked you and Sam across the yard. Damn, that nigga really was strong.
Luckily, for Sam he wasn’t as hurt as you and was able to fight off Jake. You on the other hand got a piece of the broken fence piercing your side.
The fight didn’t sound like it was going too well. Bones were cracking and they weren’t Sam’s. You got up in time to see Sam standing over a knocked out Jake. He had the crowbar in his hand, ready to deliver a fatal blow, but he decided to let him live.
Sam walked to you and let you lean on him even though he was injured as well. “You good, Y/N.”
You lifted your shirt to show him your wound. “It’ll be a bitch to pull out the splinters and I’ll probably need stiches, but other than that I should be good.”
“Sam!!! Y/N!!!!” Dean’s voice called out to you. Sam and you traded looks, and hobbled towards the sound of Dean’s voice.
There he was with Bobby. Both looked ragged, but happy to see you and Sam. “Dean,” Sam said with a sigh of relief.
“Sam, Y/N, look out!” Dean warned, but it was too late. Jake stabbed Sam in the back and by the sound of it, it was fatal.
Surprisingly, Jake didn’t try to fight you. He threw you over shoulder and ran, and in your state and his super strength you couldn’t fight him off.
The last thing you saw was Bobby running after you and behind him your dead best friend being held by his heartbroken brother.
My eyes never left the colt since Azazel gave it to Jake. The very moment he said it could kill him, you had to restrain yourself because Azazel threatened to kill Jake’s family. Even if you hated him, you couldn’t endanger his family.
The whole walk to the middle of cemetery was Jake practicing his powers, which he was picking up incredibly fast. Ava was right the learning curve is insane.
Clicking of guns caught your attention when you and Jake reached the crypt. Finally, the cavalry was here.
“Sam,” you questioned. It was impossible for him to be alive…unless Dean did the unthinkable. One look at him and you knew he made a crossroads deal. Fucking idiot! This family doesn’t know when to stop sacrificing themselves for each other.
Being too focused on Sam’s resurrection left you unaware of the conversation going on around you. Jake was prattling on about how Ava was right, but you couldn’t focus once again because your eyes caught the crypt.
Almost instantly you knew what it was. A damn gate to hell and the colt was the key. Luck wasn’t on your side, but when was it ever? Jake forced Ellen to put the gun to the side of your head while he ran to unlock the gate.
“Forget about me! He’s opening a damn hellgate!” Dean and Bobby wrestled the gun out of Ellen’s hands while Sam went after Jake.
Sam was able to kill Jake, but not before the gate opened. Though with Jake dead, you, Bobby, Ellen, and Sam were able to close it.
*Dean’s POV*
He’s here and so is the colt. I may be going to hell but imma take that yellow-eyed some of bitch with me.
“I got to thank you. You see, demons can’t resurrect people unless a deal is made. I know- red tape, it’ll make you nuts. Right, Y/N/N?” With a snap of his fingers, Y/N was beside him.
Thing is she didn’t look even one bit afraid and seemed too familiar with the demon. “Thanks to you Dean, I got the perfect pair.”
“What in the hell are you talking about?” I yelled at him. He put his dirty hands on Y/N, who was begging him ‘please don’t.’
“Sweetie, you didn’t tell him?” He asked her, almost as if he cared. “Well, Dean-o, thanks to you I couldn’t have done it without your self-loathing, self-destructive desire to sacrifice yourself for your family! But I also, many years ago I have to thank the beautiful conception of a lovely human woman and one of the best damn demons to make this beauty.” His hands framed a Y/N’s face.
The tears on her face confirmed it was true. “You lying bitch!” I couldn’t believe I trusted her.
My thoughts on how Y/N betrayed us overcame and I didn’t notice that Yellow-Eyes was about to kill me, but Y/N stopped him. He slammed her to the ground, before he could incapacitate her further, a soul from hell grabbed him. Not just any soul, dad.
Dad gave me the jump I needed. Yellow-Eyes was distracted enough for me to put a bullet in him. It was finally over; we got the demon that ruined our family. Now I just gotta deal with one more demon bitch.
*Reader’s POV*
You were fucked. Dean had to have told Sam the truth about you. You slipped away while they reveled in killing the monster that took away their family.
“Where you going, bitch?” The rage in Dean’s voice made no effort to hide.
“Dean,” Sam tried to reprimand him. He knew in his hearts of hearts that you had a good explanation. Yeah, it hurt that kept a secret and lied, but none of your behavior ever hinted to you being a danger to the brothers.
Lifting your hands in surrender, you turned around to face the boys. “I know you’re pissed, but this is the last time that I will allow you to call me a bitch.” Dean could be mad all he wanted to, but you refused to be disrespected. Especially, when he didn’t know the whole story.
Sam made an effort to get closer to you, but Dean pulled him back, as if you were a danger to him. “Y/N/N, why? Why lie to us?”
“Doesn’t matter why. She still lied.” You tried pleading to Dean with your eyes, but it wasn’t working. His anger blinding him from listening to you. “The only reason, I’m giving you a head start is because you tried to warn us about the gate and helped with Yellow-Eyes. You got to the count of 3 and if you’re still here I’m putting a bullet through you.”
Dean didn’t give empty threats, but you tested him anyway. Standing there firmly until he pulled the trigger of his gun on 3. In the nick of time, you teleported back home before the bullet could pierce you.
In the comfort of your solitude, you broke down and cried, letting a crowd of emotions run through. In a day, you found your best friend alive only for your other friend to make a deal; the hellgate opened releasing a slew of demons; Azazel revealed your secret and died; and probably the most heartbreaking you lost your best friends.

Rocket Queen
0.1: The Beginning
Tumblr media
Henley's P.O.V
It's another day in this hell hole. I'll be completely honest, I deeply miss Los Angeles. I lived there for three years until my parents decided to uproot our lives entirely and move here to Seattle. I'm not happy with this at all. I miss my best friend, Athena Bass. I was incredibly close with her and her brother Thomas Bass. Or as the world knows him, Tommy Lee.
I met Tommy first. He was sitting on his porch, playing a guitar as loudly as he could. It's like he wanted to show off to everyone that he had a guitar. He wasn't that good, but he was practicing. He looked up as I slammed the car door. My parents had promised me and my little brother Nico that we wouldn't move anymore. Little did we know then, that was a lie. Anyways, Tommy walked over to me as I grabbed some boxes from the back of the minivan. I remember being shocked with how tall he was. I nearly had to look all the way up to see his eyes. He had this adorable smile that was contagious.
"Need any help?" He asked, a grin on his face.
I was in a very bad mood, so I ended up snapping at him. "I'm perfectly fine, now fuck off."
Luckily, my parents and Nico were inside, so I wouldn't get scolded for using that language. I was only thirteen then. The friendship grew after that. We hung out everyday, then when I went to school, I met Athena who's my age.
It would be lie if I said I didn't have a crush on Tommy. He was two years older than me, and a very affectionate best friend. Me being young and naïve, thought he was flirting with me. I never confessed my feelings and before I knew it, him and his band, Motley Crue, were off on tour. I gave up on the dream that Tommy would ever look at me the way I did at him. He calls every day, even when he's super busy. He keeps asking if I could come out and visit him, but I doubt my parents would allow me to do that. I asked, and they shot down the idea immediately. They never liked Tommy, but they loved Athena. I was thinking I could try to convince them to let me go visit her, then we could go see Tommy in his new apartment. The lucky bastard.
I've been in Seattle for only four months. In those four months, as Nico would say, I had lost my goddamn mind. I'm constantly sneaking out late at night when I know my parents are asleep. I've mastered the ways of sneaking out of my bedroom window and shimmying down the drainpipe. I usually get one of my new best friends, Madeline Love, and we go to one of the dingy bars that we can find.
She's probably the coolest person I know, other than Tommy and Athena. She's the only one that knows where I go every night. There's two other people in our small friend group; Jake Love, Madeline's brother, and Evangeline, or Eva for short. Jake is a real sweetheart. He's the first guy I talked to when I arrived in Seattle. Well, he approached me. He said I looked lonely, which I was.
Eva is sweet too, just very dramatic at times. This one time, I accidentally slapped her arm and she acted like I punched her in the nose. She was mad at me for two days straight. The whole situation gave me a huge headache. We all laugh about it now. The more she got comfortable with me, the more she calmed down with the dramatics.
"Henley!" Eva nearly yells, causing a few nosy teenagers to look in our direction.
I glare at them before turning to Eva. "Yeah?"
"You should come over tonight! Mads and I were talking about having a sleepover at her place, and you know it's not the same without you!"
I smile at her. That sounds fun, but Madeline and I already had plans. I look around the crowded lunchroom. Three and half more hours and I can finally go get ready for our big night on the town. I'm fucking excited. "Sorry, I can't tonight. What about tomorrow?"
"That works too! We could go shopping and all that." Eva takes a sip of whatever organic drink she bought overly priced. She's into that hipster shit where she only eats and drinks 'organic' things. I think it's just a waste of money, but whatever.
Madeline smiles, pushing her light brown hair behind her ear. "Actually tomorrow works better anyway."
Eva's smile doesn't falter. Madeline and I know that if she knew we were hanging out together without her, she'd have a hissy fit. Eva just isn't cut out for what we do. I love the girl, but if any of our parents were suspicious about what we were doing, she'd crack under pressure and tell them immediately. Then we'd all be fucked. My parents would never let me out of the house again.
"Okay so we'll all meet up at your place tomorrow at like five?"
"That works," Madeline responds, looking as Jake finally sat down.
His sandy hair is falling in his face, making him look like he just rolled out of bed.
"Why're you so late?" I ask.
His face turns red as he looks down at the food he won't eat. "I-uh-fell asleep in class and no one woke me up. I was almost locked in the classroom."
I laugh, shaking my head. "The classrooms lock from the inside. All you had to do was open the door."
Jake's eyes widen. "So you're telling me I didn't have to climb out the window?"
I shake my head. "I wish I could've seen it though."
Madeline busts out laughing. "You're an idiot, Jacob."
"Shut up, Madeline," Jake sighs, his face turning even more red.
"Aw, poor Jakey is embarrassed in front of Henley," Madeline teases.
I giggle, brushing off her remark. She always teases poor Jake for having a crush on me. I don't think he does, but she's hell bent on believing he does.
"Madeline, I will break all your records when we get home if you don't stop," Jake warns.
"Don't take it out on the music," I say, crossing my arms. "They're just beautiful masterpieces. Take your anger out on something else."
"Like what?"
"I dunno," I respond. "Anything but the music."
"You really love music, don't you?"
I nod. "It's just about the only thing that brings me peace since I left Los Angeles."
"I noticed you have a lot of Motley Crue albums," Eva says. "What's that all about."
I know that I can't tell them that I know Tommy personally. Either they won't believe me, or they'll bug me until I let them meet him and the band. I can't let that happen. I'm not going to let Tommy be bothered all the time all because I let it slip. They only just started touring with Ozzy Osbourne, but they've gained a shit ton of popularity in only the few weeks they've been on tour with him.
"They're just my favorite band. Always have been. I used to watch their shows at the Whiskey before they took off," I explain.
"They allowed you into the Whiskey?" Eva asks.
"I wouldn't say allowed. I'd sneak in through the back door. I was friends with the bar tender so she let me stay." I take a sip of my tea. "Besides, they didn't care as long as I didn't drink."
Eva opens her mouth to ask another question, but the bell rings. I silently thank whoever is above. I didn't feel like getting grilled with more questions.
Me sneaking into the Whiskey is true. But after a while, Tommy just started bringing me into their dressing room so that I wouldn't have to go through all that trouble. It was a lot of fun when I could convince Athena to come along. She tried to act like she wasn't having fun, but I knew better. I miss those days.
As I settle in my seat in the AP English classroom, I start to think about tonight. I just have the feeling it's going to be different than usual. That something is going to happen. Whether it's good or bad, I have no clue. Only time will tell.

Ch. 3 of Skin on Skin, Hearts Laid Bare: Sign Here For A Lifetime Supply of Love (Sanny)
Summary (of Whole Series): They started off cuddling as a necessity in chilly tents and cramped car rides, but it eventually became something much, much more Sam finds that there isn't a safer place in the world, no where else he'd rather be, than when he's wrapped up in his best friend's strong, caring arms. And Danny, he just can't get enough of the feeling of Sam's silky smooth skin spread out underneath his hands. A chronicle of Samuel Kiszka and Daniel Wagner's budding love.

Fandom: Greta Van Fleet
Pairing: Sam Kiszka/Danny Wagner
------------------
Summary of Chapter 3: "A bird whistled, and Danny mimicked the sound, making Sam look at him with what could only be described as dripping affection. It ran down their bodies, flowing over the knot of their hands and falling in small splashes along the path as they walked, leaving a trail of love like Hansel and Gretel. They came to the waterfall, and Danny turned his head to face Sam, love clear in his eyes. His lids fluttered shut and his lips puckered as he leaned in for a kiss, gathering Sam closer to him."

Author's Notes: My lovely dear @satans-helper , I am SO grateful that you take the time out of your day to go over my writing to give me all of the wonderful feedback that you do. It really does improve it a lot, and, of course, your reactions and encouragement make me feel so warm inside.
@rogers-wristbands you said they go swimming, I say yes! I hope you like this, thank you so much for the suggestion :) I'm also gonna tag @lazingonsunday @mercuryyrising @mountainofthesunn @oblvions @karrotkate @lantern-inthenight @okietrish @bigthighsandstupidguys because I'm pretty sure y'all will be happy to see this? As far as I can tell y'all like Sanny so I'm taking a wild guess and tagging ya
Inspired in part by @satans-helper / thelazarus 's No One Else (ah-mazing), then of course it took another direction because I don't be about that copying. Also, they just belong in nature. Happy hippy boys are lover boys
-----------------
"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. *What do I do? I swim, I love to swiiiimmmm!*"
"DANNY. If you don't- fuck, pleugh!" Sam paused, choking on water. "If you don't fucking stop I will drown you!"
"But you have to keep swimming, Sammy! *You're* gonna drown if you don't. Unless you want me to carry you?" Danny asked. He was in a ridiculously good mood, and, being so energetic and happy to be in the water, had forgotten that Sam wasn't quite as strong as he was, nor did he possess as much stamina. His best friend was, frankly, exhausted.
"No! This was my idea, I don't need you to carry me!"
And Sam was a little testy, too. As much as he loved seeing Danny's muscles working in the water - or, better yet, feel them pick him up like he weighed nothing - the fact that Danny was just so fast and wouldn't slow down for Sam had him on edge. He'd been chasing tail for an hour, but it kept running away!
"Just, slow down a bit!"
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to tire you out so much, I was just having fun."
"It's alright," Sam sighed, now calmed down in the cradle of Danny's thick arms. "I'm glad you're enjoying myself, just let me have some fun too."
"Oh? What kind of fun do you want to have?" Danny questioned, slowly moving them closer to the shallows of the lake.
"I want to go hike up to the waterfall, but, later. Right now, I just want to float while you hold me."
"We can do that," Danny said softly. He anchored his feet in the sand bank, letting Sam rest his head on his shoulder in the neck deep water. Their arms were wound around each other, Sam's legs floating up to the left as Danny held onto him.
Nature immersed them in her soundtrack: birds twittering, leaves rustling, insects humming, and the breeze lapping gentle waves onto the shore. All was at peace, with the world and in their hearts.
Sam's eyelashes fluttered, his eyes closed to face the warm August sunshine. Danny watched him, observing the slight shadows playing over his face as a cloud passed overhead. Sam's lips parted, and Danny was nearly certain that he was going to start snoring - he hadn't moved in nearly 20 minutes - when Sam spoke.
"Is this what heaven feels like?"
Danny hummed. "I don't know, Sammy. No one knows what heaven will be like, if there is one at all, until we get there."
"I hope we go together," Sam said, sitting up slightly in the water. Danny caught him when the movement nearly pitched him under, grabbing the silky skin over Sam's ribs with his hands to steady him.
"I don't want to live without you, but I don't want to be dead without you, either. It wouldn't be heaven if you weren't there," Sam continued.
"I'll be there," Danny promised, pressing their foreheads together. He didn't know what that would entail, or when it would happen, but he and Sam were going out together, he knew it in his soul like he knew Sam was his soul-mate.
"We just made a death pact," Sam giggled, switching from somber to giggly Sammy like that. It always amazed Danny how quickly Sam could process and move on, his genius brain working at twice the speed of anyone around them, it seemed. And yet, Sam never left him behind, never made him feel left out; quite the opposite, Danny was often at the center of Sam's world, a warm fact he'd come to accept after hearing it so many times from Sam's mouth itself.
"Should we kiss on it?" Danny asked, laughing, too. "You know, to seal the deal?"
"Protect the pact from attack?"
"Give our engagement a worthwhile entanglement?"
"Save the loot from the boot?"
"Okay, that last one didn't make any sense!"
"Well, neither did yours!" Sam retorted. "'Give our engagement a worthwhile entanglement'? What the heck does that even mean?"
"It means we're gonna kiss to finalize the agreement, silly!"
Sam's mouth was a pretty little 'O'. Danny leaned in and gave it the barest of pecks, pulling back quickly and flushing dull red in the sunlight.
"Oh, c'mon! That wasn't a kiss! Where's my entanglement?" Sam laughed, surprise knocked out of him.
"Well, if you say so..." Danny trailed off, moving in close again.
"I do," Sam breathed against his lips, both hands holding Danny's head steady.
Danny had one hand on the small of his back, pressing Sam into himself, and the other gripping his right thigh, hoisting Sam up effortlessly in the water to wrap his legs around him.
Sam's lower lip made contact with Danny's as he jumped up, both of them freezing at the extensive contact of cool, moist skin below the water and still warm mouths above it.
Their lips slid, Sam to the left and Danny to the right, until they were locked in a sweet embrace. Slick warmth, comfort, and faintly barbeque flavored saliva was passed between them as they slowly kissed; no tongue, but soft, wet, open mouth presses that left no doubt in either's mind the strength of the bond they had curated over a lifetime, til death do them part.
"This is, like, one of those memorable scrapbook moments, ya know?" Sam said, pulling back after a minute. "Our first kiss in our favorite lake, just the two of us out on a perfect day."
Danny quirked his brow. "This isn't our first kiss, dude," he huffed, though he was amused.
"What? Yes it is. I'd have remembered if we kissed before, I'm pretty fucking sure."
"Don't you remember that one time you went to kiss my cheek and you planted one right on me?"
"That doesn't count! It's gotta be intentional, this was our first kiss with *intention*."
"Okay, okay, sure."
Sam splashed a little bit of water at him, getting the clear droplets in Danny's hair. Danny yanked - gently - on Sam's own tresses, nearly pulling his head backwards underwater but letting up early enough to make it clear he was joking.
"So, how was your first kiss with a guy?" Sam asked, grinning.
"This wasn't my first kiss with a guy."
"Again, I call bullshit! You've never kissed a guy, I know this for a fact."
"Uh, hello? Do you not remember when Josh tried to make out with me at that New Years party?"
"Also doesn't count," Sam snorted. "He was macking on everybody, hell, he even kissed Jake out in the open after he had all those shots. And, key word 'trying'. You pushed him away before your lips really touched."
"When did you become such an expert on kissing?" Danny asked, amused.
Sam brought their heads together again, like he was telling a little secret. He stroked Danny's face and whispered in his ear, "Puberty."
They both cracked up, clinging to each other in the water. Despite having just made out for the first time - and having that rock their world so much it made them sane - nothing was going to stop Sam and Danny from being Sam and Danny, resident-best-friend-goofballs.
Sam kept snickering, still sitting on Danny's canted hips with arms wrapped around each other. He wiggled in surprise when Danny put a hand on his ass, squeezing it through the thin fabric of his mini shorts.
"I think we should do the hike naked."
"I think that's a great way to get a bug bite on your dick. When we get to the waterfall, though, we can go skinny dipping."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Danny asked, turning and running to the shore as swiftly as the water would allow him with Sam still in his arms, his former hyperactiveness renewed.
Sam jumped down before he could be tossed onto the sand by Danny's over-eager legs tripping up. He rung out what water he could from his hair, putting it up in a bun and them helping Danny gather his own at the back of his head. He stooped down to pick up his bag and sunglasses, thwarting the anticipated ass smack with a sudden somersault.
Danny stared down at Sam lying on the sand, arm still raised in the air where Sam's ass had been moments ago. He raised a brow in slight apology, helping Sam get back up with an offered hand.
"Sorry, I didn't think you'd object so much."
"What, now that we've kissed once you think you have free reign to treat me like your bitch?" Sam asked, though he was obviously teasing.
"No, I would never. You've never minded before, though."
"Well, things have changed, haven't they?"
"I'm not sure."
It didn't feel like it. They were still themselves, and not looking any different to the other; perhaps only their eyes were now open to more ways to mess around with each other.
"I can't believe we kissed. Like, we were actually making out for a whole minute!" Sam said, a little awed. He had been, perhaps, covering for his shock with some extra sassiness.
"I know, me either," Danny breathed.
They both gaped and giggled like loons, not sure what to make of that reality. Like Sam had said, it was definitely memorable.
"Alright, let's get going before it gets too chilly to swim again."
Sam nodded and fell into step next to Danny, heading towards the North-bound trail to the waterfall that fed into the lake. Their wet feet were coated in the sand, dirt, and mud, making the brown of their Birkenstocks even browner.
Danny caught Sam's hand, swinging it as they made their way through the trees, leaves obscuring the lake except for occasional shimmering glimpses.
A bird whistled, and Danny mimicked the sound, making Sam look at him with what could only be described as dripping affection. It ran down their bodies, flowing over the knot of their hands and falling in small splashes along the path as they walked, leaving a trail of love like Hansel and Gretel.
They had to unlace their fingers to climb up the boulder at the end of the journey, using all four hands, and feet, too, to boost themselves up and over it. On the other side, roaring loud enough to drown out the birdsong that Danny had joined in on, was the waterfall.
Sam immediately ran down the shining, wet rock towards the river's edge, Danny following along more cautiously behind him, finding a spot to set their stuff down. First the bags went, then the shoes, and finally the swim trunks were pulled down and they were bared to the world.
Turning to grin at him, Sam stood in all his glowing, glorious nudity, backed by the mists of the waterfall behind him. Danny stepped forward, catching him around the waist.
Sam's lashes fluttered, his mouth pouting and seeming to draw Danny in. His hands landed on Danny's strong shoulders, feeling the hot shift of muscle beneath as Danny brought them close.
The fronts of their thighs were touching, spreading an electricity made even more volatile by the water still dotting their skin. Sam leaned forward, putting them belly to belly, chest to chest, groin to groin.
"Do you want me to carry you, now?" Danny murmered, dark eyes locked right below Sam's clavicle, as if he could actually see his beating heart. He had a crazed need, sometimes, to just hold Sam, to lift him up and away from others so that he could be all Danny's; Sam never minded.
Sam didn't respond, simply walked himself backwards slowly, carefully, with Danny following along, to the edge of the rock. The boulder was a cracked off part of the cliffside that the water ran over, raised higher as if it was nature's intention to be the diving rock all teenagers saw it as.
They locked eyes, counted to three, and jumped together into the deepest pocket of the water. Danny surfaced, gasping a little at the shock of ice melt cold - even though it was August - and Sam came up a second later. They swam with fierce, determined kicks towards the pebbled shore further on from the boulder, fighting hard against the sucking current from the waterfall.
"Whew, man, I always forget how cold it is up here."
Sam nodded, immediately wrapping himself around Danny in the shin deep water and holding to him - and his body heat - tight. Danny grabbed him right back, sitting on the rocks with Sam in between his legs, both lying halfway in the stream.
"I'm always worried that we'll be too shocked with how cold it is to swim well enough and fast enough to get back to shore," Sam said, a shiver racking his body to make his point.
"But we always do, and I'd never leave you behind. C'mon, let's see if there's any crawfish."
"What?" Sam laughed, getting up and wading back into the river. "Why do you want crawfish? We literally just had lunch like two hours ago, and besides, there's no pot or seasonings to cook them in even if we do start a fire."
"I don't want to eat them, I just wanna see if they're still here. Do you remember when we came up - I think it was ninth grade - and we all spent hours diving for our dinner? That was so fun!"
"Oh, yeah! And Jake got pinched in the nips cause he was messing around with one of them!"
"I'll pinch your nips!" Danny yelled, grabbing Sam and rolling them deeper into the water. He made pinchy fingers at Sam's chest, grazing his nipples and making him laugh at the ticklish sensation.
"Yeah, well, I'll mess around with YOU!" Sam retorted, cackling like a stoned hyena. He really did have a funny laugh, Danny knew, but it seemed to make him even more awesome: the fact that he was so perfect, and yet still human.
Sam flung his arms around Danny's neck, letting himself be carried in the water once again. They came to standing on one of the shallower rock banks in the middle of the stream, watching the waters rush over the boulders and tumble down below into the next stretch of river.
Danny turned his head to face Sam, love clear in his eyes. His lids fluttered shut and his lips puckered as he leaned in for a kiss, gathering Sam closer to him.
Sam was ready to recieve it when, suddenly, those eyes bulged open, black and beady. The hands on Sam's back felt sharper, all made of nail and bone.
"Sam. SAM!"
He stirred, still futilely trying to push away the creature that had taken over his love.
"Sammy, c'mon baby. It's alright, I'm not trying to hurt you. It's just me! Sam, wake up!"
Opening his eyes, Sam saw Danny - regular, hazel eyed Danny with his large, soft hands holding his face - next to him, looking both concerned and amused.
Danny smiled at him, softly stroking over his hair. "Hey, you were having a nightmare, something about lobsters. Is everything alright?"
Sam breathed a sigh of relief he hadn't realized he'd been holding, chuckling tiredly at the end.
"Yeah, yeah I'm okay. Man, that was such a weird dream! You ever have those ones where it's, like, exactly what you did the day before, except one or two things are off and you don't even notice it at first?"
Danny nodded, looking at him intently, curious to hear more.
"Well, it was basically what we did yesterday: we were swimming in the lake, I got super tired chasing you so you held me, we hiked up to the waterfall, and then we swam there, too. The thing was, we kissed! Like, we were making out in the middle of the fucking lake, and at the river, too!"
"Woah, really?" Danny laughed. "How was it?"
"Pretty good," Sam admitted, blushing but looking Danny straight in the eyes. They had stopped hiding that affection what felt like eons ago, though really the shift had been gradual.
"So that explains the wood poking me," Sam smacked Danny's shoulder gently, though he couldn't deny that he was hard after his bout of Danny-kissing-REM. "But, what about the lobsters? Why were you scared, you love lobster! Were they trying to get back at you for eating them?" Danny giggled.
"They'll never get me, I'm higher up on the food chain! And it was crawfish, not lobsters: You turned into a crabby-monster thing and tried to eat my face." Danny chuckled, snuggling up to Sam as they swayed gently in the breeze blown hammock.
"Was this after I had sucked your face?"
"Yeah, the second time- wait, no, we actually only kissed in the lake, then you were about to go for it again when you went all rock lobster on me. I guess it kinda changed our conversations too, though, because we kept talking about it. I wonder why that suddenly turned into a bad dream, I was really enjoying it."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, it was nice. It was when you were holding me in the water, and we made that pact. Except, in my dream, we did actually kiss on it, and then almost again at the waterfall. But, other than that stuff, I guess it was pretty much the same."
"Interesting. Did we still hold hands, and jump in together, and all that?" Danny asked. Sam knew it was really the 'Were we flirting like we really do make out?' that Danny was too scared to outright ask.
"Yep, it actually kinda made more sense in the context of the dream. Like, we haven't kissed yet after all this time!"
Danny nodded, looking contemplative. He inched his head closer and planted a peck on Sam's forehead, then his temple, moving along the trail of his cheekbone to his nose and down around to his jaw again.
Sam put more pressure on the hand on Danny's chest, feeling on either side of it where their bare skin rubbed on each other. He felt Danny's heart beat in tandem with his own, pumping the same flow of life through both of them - no matter their parentage.
They laid there wrapped up in the hammock on the front deck of the lake house they rented every summer, enjoying the lazy day. He closed his eyes again, relaxing now that Danny was holding him and protecting him.
Sam smiled when he felt another kiss being planted on his cheek, just an inch shy of his mouth. He turned and rubbed his nose against Danny's stubble, murmuring something about waterfalls that Danny couldn't quite decipher.
They let the gentle motion of the wind funneled through the mountain valleys rock them back to sleep, snoring together in the afternoon sunlight. Whether in sleep or death or and waking, their love bound them together. Nothing could ever separate them; them they were one eternal being. All that was left was an intentional kiss to seal the deal.

her name
Tumblr media
(gif creds to owner)
pairing: bucky barnes x reader (high school!au)
summary: in which bucky admits his feelings for you...to his mom.
word count: 1.9k, yep just a wee bit longer than the last one :)
warnings: fluff once again bc i was crying a lot earlier while reading angsty fics and i wanna feel happy again! Also haha snuck some aladdin lines in there too ;)
a/n: i really didn’t intend to make this like a “her ___” thing but i’m down for it. i’m writing this to pass the time bc i’m waiting for my friend who lives in korea to be free so we can talk. also, wow! “her laugh” was really well received! thanks friends :) feel free to leave any feedback you may have for me! [oh, i mention some things about how the anglican church began in a funny way, i’m not trying to offend anyone’s religion so plz don’t take it that way]
-
History was hands down your favorite subject. Something about analyzing past civilizations was so fascinating to you. To think that the things you read about in textbooks actually happened was mind-boggling but also really amusing. There was a guy, a king for that matter, that wanted a divorce so badly that he created an entirely new church in the process of separating from his wife, who he also proceeded to decapitate (okay, maybe that part wasn’t so funny).
You looked forward to your history class every day because of your love for its engaging and rigorous curriculum...for the most part. A small part of you also excitedly anticipated the conversations you would have with the cute guy who sat behind you. Bucky Barnes. The quarterback of your school’s football team but also president of the Science Olympiad club. Could he get any more perfect? Apparently, yes. Not only was he a skilled athlete and an intelligent student, but he was simply a good guy. Surprisingly, that was hard to come by at your school. Guys would either brag about their perfect SAT scores or about all the sweet girls they cut off. Bucky wasn’t like that. He was so far from that. Whenever he caught you in the halls, he’d shoot you a smile or a wave and sometimes he’d even offer to walk you to your next class despite your protests that he would be tardy.
A poke on your shoulder snapped you out of your daydream. You turned around to meet the glorious blue eyes of the person that was the focus of said daydream.
“Hey, sorry (Y/N), but that pretty little head of yours is blocking the board,” he whispered, afraid of getting called out by your teacher. His compliment brought an intense blush to your face that you would not let him see. You muttered a quick “sorry” before scooting over and turning your head back around to prevent him from noticing the redness of your face. You tried your best to suppress your thoughts about your little crush and focused your attention on your teacher.
“Alright class, now that we’re beginning our study of the 20th century, I’m rolling out a project in which you and your choice of a partner will do research on the most important political, economic and social aspects of a decade that I’ll be assigned to you.” 
Great, you thought. You weren’t really close with anyone in your history class except for Bucky. All your other friends were in the class period after you. You knew Bucky was gonna pair up with Dot, the head cheerleader who had been pining over him since she found out he was the quarterback. She was nice, you just knew you couldn’t compete with her for Bucky’s affections. Not that you really forced yourself to. You didn’t need a boyfriend, especially not now. You prioritized your studies so you could get into your dream school, not getting a man. But...that didn’t mean you were against one. A significant other wasn’t necessary for you but...you saw it as a welcome addition to your life.
Your teacher announced that students were allowed to move out of their seats to find partners. You stood up and anxiously surveyed your options. Bucky was out of the picture. Maybe his friend Steve? No, you knew he was gonna pair up with his girl Peggy. Scott Lang? No, he’d be a fun partner but you knew it would be really hard to get him to avoid procrastinating. Wanda? That could work. You didn’t know her that well but who knows? Maybe you’d gain a new friend after this project. But as you were approaching her, the president of Academic League, Viz had beat you to it. Fuck, now what?
Just as all hope seemed to be lost, you felt a familiar poke on your shoulder. You turned again to meet the same eyes you had looked into just minutes before.
Bucky sent you a friendly smile as he asked, “Got a partner, yet?” with his hands scrunching in his pockets, almost nervously?
Words almost failed you but you managed to let out a little, “Nope”. He smiled at that. Nodding, he replied, “Cool”. Huh, maybe he wasn’t out of the picture.
~
You and Bucky had been assigned to study the 1940’s and the both of you were currently on your way to his house to get a head start on the project.
“You can have control of the AUX cord if you want, it’s gonna take a while to get to my place,” Bucky offered as you got into his car.
“Oh, I don’t know, you might judge me for my music taste,” you said shyly.
He let out a playful scoff. “No way, you’ll be fine...as long as you don’t play like Jake Paul or some shit.” You giggled at that. “Oh, I’d never do that to you.” You ended up playing some 80’s songs that you were currently into. Bucky seemed to enjoy it, even opting to quietly sing along.
He pulled into his driveway, stopped the car and quickly got out to open your door for you. You smiled at him for the chivalrous gesture. Before he unlocked the front door, he turned to you instead, “I didn’t mention this earlier but I’d just like to apologize for my mom and sister in advance. They can be a lot sometimes.” You softly shook your head. “Oh that’s fine, I’m sure they’re fine.”
With that, he let you in first before yelling, “Ma! Becks! I’m home!” You heard, “Ok honey, in the kitchen! Have a snack before starting homework!” in reply. You followed Bucky into the kitchen; you leaned against the wall as he walked towards a middle-aged woman, his mom, standing in front of the sink with her back facing you. He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and said, “Hey ma, I’m gonna be working on a project with (Y/N) for a bit, I’m gonna get some snacks for her too.”
“Who?” his mother asked. She looked around the room to find the person in question, aka you. When her eyes settled upon you, she jumped a bit and remarked, “Oh, I’m sorry dear, James didn’t mention that he’d have someone over.” As she got a better look at you, she—not so subtely—whispered to Bucky, “Ooh, she’s really pretty Jamie.” Shock overtook his features, prompting him to softly nudge his mothers. He coughed to mask his embarrassment. “What my beautiful mother means is,” he began, “she’ll have snacks ready for us soon so we should just start working.”
He quickly lead to you to the study, away from the kitchen where his smirking mother stood preparing cookies for the both of you. A younger girl was already seated in the study when you approached it.
“Becca, can you study in your room upstairs, I need to work on a project,” said Bucky.
The little girl, Becca, looked up from her notebook with a sassy look and retorted, “Why don’t you work on your project in your room? I got here first.”
Bucky let out an exasperated sigh. “Because, (Y/N) and I need a lot of space to work on this.”
Becca cocked an eyebrow towards her brother’s direction. “You mean you need a lot of space so you can make out with your girlfriend?”
You wished with everything else in your being that you could’ve turned invisible. You tried to sound confident to defend yourself but your words came out as stutters. “Oh! W-we’re not d-dating. We’re just p-partners.” Becca turned to you with a suspicious look on her face. She started you down for a few second before shrugging.
“Ok, whatever you say. Just call me over when you’re done so I can use this room after.”
Bucky graciously looked to his sister. “Will do, thanks Becks.”
After she retreated to her room, Bucky turned to you. “Like I said, they can be a lot.” With that, you began working on your project.
~
You and Bucky worked for about 3 hours with short small talk breaks in between before calling it a night.
“Alright, thanks for offering to use your place today. We could work at mine next time, or maybe the library so it isn’t that much trouble to you?” You suggested.
“No it’s alright,” he said. “I like having you here.” His remark brought a similar blush that graced your features earlier that day. You bashfully looked away from him and let out a soft laugh.
“Okay...I’ll see you at school tomorrow. Tell your mom I’m really grateful for her hospitality.” He nodded. With that goodbye, you began your journey home. Turns out, you only lived down the street from Bucky. He had offered to walk you home, but you resisted saying that he had already done so much for you that day.
He made his way back into his house and the kitchen, where he sat on in a seat by the island and buried his face in his hands.
“She seems like a nice girl, James,” his mom said. He removed his hands from his face and moved them to hold his chin.
“Yeah...she really is,” he responded with a blissful smile and gentle look in his eyes. His mother grinned at his obvious infatuation with the girl.
“Do you like her?” his mother teased.
Bucky’s brows furrowed as he replied, “No mom, (Y/N) and I are just friends, we aren’t together.”
His mom sent him a sly smirk, “I never mentioned her name, Jamie.”
He looked confused at first but then he realized his mistake. “Shit.”
She nudged him with her elbow. “Hey, don’t you use that language around me young man.”
Bucky simply groaned and buried his face in his hands once again. “It’s okay Jamie, you can tell me. You can tell me anything, you know that.”
He let out a lovestruck sigh. “I don’t know what it is about her ma. She’s smart, a-and fun.”
“You think she’s pretty?” she asked.
“Beautiful!” he answered almost instantaneously. “She’s got these eyes...a-and this hair! Oh, and her smile?” he let out a helpless sigh. “I could go on and on about her smile.”
Bucky’s mom was really happy seeing her son like this. He’d been through a lot at a young age, losing his father and having to take on the father/big brother role for Becca was tough for him. He never prioritized himself, he put his mom and sister first. They were the ones he cared about most and he did everything in his power to make sure they were happy. That meant he had to sacrifice his own desires to ensure that his family got theirs. But it was Bucky’s turn to be happy now.
“If that’s the case, then you go on and tell her that,” his mother said.
“But—” Bucky began to protest but changed his mind. His look of concern was replaced with one of determination. “You know, I will do that. Tomorrow, I’ll tell her. Maybe I should buy her flowers to make it really sweet? Or no, maybe that actually might be too much...Or I could just be really casual with it and just approach her at her locker? No, I don’t want to make it look like I don’t really care...Or maybe…” Bucky mumbled off thoughts to himself as he left the kitchen to his room.
Bucky’s mother looked after him as he walked away thinking about how grateful she was that you had made your way into Bucky’s heart.

Notes on Hyperview
Hey music fam! Today we’re taking a look at a band called Hyperview!  Hyperview is a 5 member pop/punk/emo/hardcore band from Buffalo, NY. Each member took a little time to answer some questions for us to get to know them and the band a little more. Take a few and see what they had to say!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NON: How did you all meet? What drew you to start a band?
AJ: I’m AJ and I do a lot of yelling. I was trying to get a band together in Los Angeles and then again in Sacramento. Nothing really stuck so I figured I’d move back to the east coast and landed in Buffalo. I met Courtney and Matt online. They were looking for a guitarist for a new project since their last pop/punk band had some sort of falling out. Couple of changes to the lineup and now I’m on vocals with the additions of Steve and Chuck for guitars. I’ve always wanted to play music since middle school, but I didn’t start teaching myself guitar and singing until about high school.
Courtney: I'm Courtney,  I play the drums. I've played music the majority of my life. I was involved in small projects in high school, and took classes in college that was playing as a band. Then after I graduated I wanted to do it all for real.
Steve: Hey I’m Steve and I play bass. I've been friends with Matt for years and he invited me to play in the band. He's been doing projects for a while and I wanted to be a part of this one.
Chuck:  The band was already established for about a year or so before I joined. Actually, I met the singer through a craigslist ad, and spoke to him on Instagram, and I guess we had common ground of what we wanted musically.
Matt: I’m Matt and I do guitar/backups. We all met through a various series of online forum postings.  Whether they were from other bands or pieces of older bands we all used to be in.  The exception is Steve which I met through high school friends, whom I eventually became roommates with.  We all started bands for different reasons for different times in our lives.  I started a band when I was younger to have a place I could go, express myself, and probably fit in.  It was a long time ago and I don’t really remember exactly why, but I’m sure it had something to do with thinking I was an outcast when I probably wasn’t. 
NON: What drew you to this style of music?
AJ: I went to middle school in Coral Springs, FL and there was this upcoming pop/punk band building a sweet culture around town. It was New Found Glory. Meanwhile, my older sister was showing me bands like Senses Fail, Hawthorne Heights, and Panic! at the Disco.
Courtney: I grew up listening to this style of music my entire life and have always had it ingrained into me.
Steve: I was a big ska and punk kid growing up. As those scenes faded away pop punk started to pick up so that was the natural progression musically. I guess my sharp edges got rounded off over the years and I became more attuned to the melodic side of things.
Chuck:   I’ve been into pop-punk stuff since I was a kid. The first CD I ever bought was New Found Glory’s “sticks and stones” from media play.
Matt: Pop punk was the first style of music I actually connected to.  I mean I had a stack of my old man’s records, a Coolio CD, some Weird Al, and a bunch of mail order albums you’d grab out of your neighbors mailbox. Though none of it hit quite like Blink 182 and NFG in the summer.
NON: What's the story behind the band name?
AJ: I really loved Title Fights album Hyperview and thought it would be a cool name for the band.
Steve: Needed a name, AJ gets name credit
Chuck: I’m assuming it’s derived from a super tight album, that everyone should listen to.
Matt: The band name came from giving up on finding a name that we came up with because every band name was taken already, so we just used an album name one person in the band had listened to.  It was most likely better off we went with a name that isn’t so genre conforming, so you have to listen to the music before you hate it and not just going off the name. NON: What has been your favorite venue to play so far?
AJ: I think my favorite show was at BJs in Fredonia. It was only like our second show and the placed was PACKED out. Those college kids didn’t come for us but they still jumped around with us and sang the words to our cover songs. ‘Twas sick!
Courtney: So far my favorite place we play at is Mr. Goodbar, the turn out is always amazing and we always have such a good time.
Steve: Favorite venue is rec room
Chuck: My personal favorite was Rec Room, here in Buffalo. We’ve had good times at Goodbar and Mohawk place as well.
Matt: Being a small local band, all venues are pretty much the same and rating them of ‘best’ is going to be biased by how good the crowd was.  If we had 12 people going hard in a dumpster canister off Bailey then that would be the best venue we played.  That being said, I loved BJ’s in Fredonia, I only wished we had this incantation of the band coupled with the live experience we’ve gained since. NON: What is your dream venue?
AJ: Don’t really got one, honestly. I think venues are second to the people. I’d rather have twenty raging kids in a basement than five head bobbing peeps at a larger venue.
Courtney: The dream for right now would be to play Town Ballroom, and then it just goes up from there.
Steve: Dream venue is an aircraft carrier. We play while mortal Kombat happens in front of us
Chuck: Honestly, probably the Town Ballroom or Riverworks. It’s always been a dream of mine to play on a big stage right at home.
Matt: Dream actual venue is either Red Rocks or the O2.  I don’t really think about venues like that because when you are facing the reality of music, it’s the moon away.  I just want to be in people’s lives to a point I could have a career in the industry. NON: Who are some of your inspirations?
AJ: The bands I listed earlier are definitely inspirations. It’s hard to narrow down but a handful of my favorites would include: Silverstein, The Story So Far, Balance and Composure, mewithoutYou, letlive. and A Day To Remember
Courtney: As far as playing music and drums, the artists that inspire me most would have to be Dani Abasi, Cyrus Bolooki, and Jake Massucco.
Steve: Less than Jake, Rancid, Blink, Story so far, Four year strong
Chuck: I’m a complete sucker for the 90’s and 2000’s pop-punk and emo bands. New Found Glory, Bayside, Sum 41, Taking Back Sunday etc.
Matt: Inspirations, well there are a lot of people I think are great artists.  Without sounding like I bottle my own farts and age them like a fine wine; I (at this age) am more inspired by the general culture of art in any medium.  Anything that you can feel the creative effort in, even if you don’t understand it or even do it.  I watched this guy rehab old paintings.  That inspired me. I didn’t want to clean an early 20th century fruit study, but you know what I mean. NON: Where do you see yourself/selves in 5 years?
AJ: Hopefully in a city near you touring our butts off!
Courtney: In five years, I would like to have toured and to continue doing tours across the states or if we get lucky in another country.
Steve: On that aircraft carrier baby
Chuck: Hopefully on the road with some super rad bands, playing in really cool venues, for really awesome people.
Matt: 5 to7? Probably washed up as fuck somewhere, but I tried

Bubblegum Kisses
TV SHOW ACCUSED
COUPLE JAKE X READER
RATING FLIRTY + MILD SMUT
Tumblr media
Strawberry and blueberry twist bubblegum.
The taste I was addicted too.
I never much really liked bubblegum when I was younger I found it far to sickly sweet for me, until one day when I was studying on the school yard brick wall.
I suddenly couldn't get enough of the stuff.
Since I was a little kid I kinda had a crush on a girl named y/n, she wasn't really a popular girl exactly. I guess he was within her crowd she was kinda what I would call an... alternative kinda girl.
I spend a lot of time with her growing up which honestly likely didn't much help my crush on her.
And one thing I always known about her was,
Bubblegum.
She used to get some change every week for walking her family dog and every penny of it would go into the tall red bubblegum ball machine outside the post office.
When we where little I used to have to get on my hands and knees and she stood on my back in order to reach to put in her pennies. She would fill it her little bag with bubblegum balls and we would run off to the park every Saturday afternoon.
The smell of those cheap gumballs makes me think of her a little as he bag always had the sticky sweet scent and it too was always on her as she was almost always chewing on bubblegum.
The kids at school used to call her violet after the girl in Willy Wonka.
But she never minded about everyone else much she just hung around with me.
The more I grew to like her the more I grew to associate bubblegum with her. The smell of it the colours they always made me think of her, Whenever I saw red and blue side by side I'd think of y/n and her bubblegum balls.
By the time we got to secondary school I was infatuated with her, and at the same time the shops starting selling
New!! Strawberry and blueberry bubblegum in strips.
The little shop on the corner used to sell a pack of twenty for 99p, and of course this was y/n's favorite flavor, and it was about two weeks out from her birthday. So I went around our estate and cut grass, walked dogs, babysat anything I could to earn some money and that when her birthday came I could give her a whole box filled the the bubblegum strips and of course the balls too. I remember how happy she was, she gave me a huge cuddle I don't think I had ever seen her so happy.
My crush on her only got worse and my addiction to that bubblegum smell became worse, it got to a point I bought a pack and kept it in a little Tupperware box just got to smell when I missed her. And I May have used it sometimes when I really really 'missed her', that smell made me think about her which sometimes wasn't great because if I walked past it in the shop I could smell it and it would almost give me a Bonner. Which wasn't helped by an announcement when we where just heading into our options year that Christmas -
New!! Strawberry and blueberry bubblegum shower gel, shampoo and body stray.
Company's hate teenage boys with hormones don't they. Because of course she came to school everyday fucking day smelling like a bubblegum factory!!
From her mouth, her hair, her body, everywhere was the smell of sugar, artificial strawberry and strong blueberry bubblegum.
And I was addicted to it.
Because whenever I smelt it, I thought of y/n.
I even bought a tin of the body spray to spray on my pillow so I could cuddle it and to help when I'm... All alone.
I had been trying so often to try and te her how I felt about her but I always got to shy, until her birthday rolled around again and just as it did almost like clockwork I saw something in a little discount store
New!! Strawberry and blueberry bubblegum lipgloss/balm
So of course what did she get for her birthday everything and anything strawberry and blueberry bubblegum from everyone even her family.
The lipgloss became what she wore every single day it tinting her lips a light purple with a tiny bit of glitter to it, it only made me want to kiss her even more.
My crush only continued to get worse until one day I was studying on the yard sitting on the brick wall with y/n beside me reading the maze runner book even if I couldn't much focus on anything but her, she of course was chewing her bubblegum often blowing little bubbles, the sweet sugar scent in her soft beautiful hair, the overwhelming artificial strawberry smell on her skin, that light purple softly resting on her lips. She blew her last bubble before taking the old gum out her mouth wrapping it in the wrapper and throwing it in the bin beside us returning to her book, but she noticed I had been watching her do all that and she looked at me a little puzzled.
I looked at those sweet lips I had been wanting to kiss for so long, and I couldn't help it, I moved forward pressing my lips to her own her scent overwhelmed me the taste of that bubblegum gloss on her lips she kissed back moving her lips against mine I did it too our lips kissing over and over lightly clacking with each kiss till she pulled away leaving me in a dream like state
"Ooohh Jake, what was all that about?" She asks
"I just uhh... I uhhh... I really wanted to see what your lipgloss tasted like" I smiled and she laughed as the bell went so she kissed my cheek and went off to her class.
After that day I became even more addicted to that taste, I would chew the gum while I was jerking off just because it felt and tasted like I was making out with y/n, and eventually after alot of convincing and little dates, she became my girlfriend.
I stopped jerking off to much as I had her to kiss me now even if I admit I may have kept a couple packets and maybe a body wash so I could smell it in the shower and chew the gum like I was making out with her for you know... In shower... Reasons.
She sat on my bed with me the two of us rather seriously kissing that sweet sugar taste and smell all over her as usual my hands often exploring her a little but she always did it to me too, my hands often moving her butt of her boobs in our kisses till she pulled away
"Ooh Jake what's that poking me?" She asks
"Ohh uh sorry" I blushed but she smiled giving me a kiss
"It's okay, so did you wanna...do anything?" She smirked
"Can we uhh... Maybe make out?' I suggest
"Aww course can" she giggled going to kiss me but I stopped her
"Could you uhh Maybe do something for me?" I asked her
"Well alright" she smiled "what is it Jake?"
"Can uhh before we make out? Can you maybe have some bubblegum?"
"Uhhhhhh why?" She asked a little confused
"It's uhh well... Look y/n I've liked you since we where little kids, and something that always makes me think about you is that strawberry and blueberry bubblegum, and I like tasting it when I kiss you" I explained
"Well okay" she smiled "maybe once. Done with my gum, we could do something more then make out?" She asks
"Uhhh...okay" I blushed very excited

Accidentally Engaged - Part 2 of a Noah Centineo Mini Series
Tumblr media
A/N: Hey Everyone! Here it is… part 2 of ‘Accidentally Engaged!’ Things are getting real now and you’re gonna see how things are changing between Noah and the reader. I had so much fun writing this one, it’s actually one of my favorite parts, so I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did writing it! Let me know what you all think! Every kind of feedback is appreciated :)
This is an AU. A lot of the things I mention about Noah aren’t true. I know his family is like super supportive of him in real life, Also the things about his career are not true either. It’s just that the character in the movie is like that so I had to change it for the storyline as well.
read part 1 here and part 3 here :)
****
The weekend arrived faster than I thought which meant that it was almost time for us to go through with our crazy plan. I just picked Noah Centineo up from his apartment and we were heading towards the airport to catch our flight to Conway.
“I can’t believe people actually think we’re engaged. This is insane.“ I said as I was driving through Noah’s neighborhood. It was the fancy, expensive part of Los Angeles, a part of town I could never afford to live in.
“It’s all part of the break-up plan. A stereotypical Hollywood love story. Got engaged and that’s what ultimately leads to the break up. Fear of commitment. Wedding vows.“ Noah explained as he was scrolling through his phone.
“Cheating with another woman.“ I threw in, my eyes still focused on the road.
Noah looked up from his phone and over to me, “Hmm? What did you say?“
I rolled my eyes at him. “Can you put that thing down for like two seconds? We have to make sure our story is on the same page if we’re getting married.“ I say, tilting my head to look at him.
Noah put his phone down and sighed, leaning his head against the headrest of his seat,  “Alright, I got it. We met on set. You spilled coffee on me. You offered to pay for my dry cleaning and when I called to collect it, you asked me out. And the rest is history.“
I scoffed, “I asked you out? I don’t think so.“
“Why not? Girls ask me out all the time.“ He looked at me, confused.
“Yeah… starstruck girls who get week knees just by looking at you. I’m not in that category.“
“Okay. What’s your brilliant idea then?“ He asked me.
“I don’t know, Noah. We don’t really know anything about each other.“ I tell him as we come to a stop at a red light.
“Let me guess. You grew up bored in a small town, always yearning for more. You watched chick flicks at the movies and always dreamed about being the next Julia Roberts. So you saved all of your money from the local five and dine and hopped on a bus to pursue your dreams in the City of Angels. Am I right?“ He looked over his shoulder and glanced over to me.
“You got me. Except for the part where I went to college and studied communications because I was too scared to chase after what I really wanted. Oh and the year I moved back with my mom because she was battling breast cancer. And of course the one time I almost got lost in Los Angeles because my car broke down in K-town and I didn’t have the money to fix it.“ I told him as I keep driving the car.
He gave me a sympathetic glance, “Oh shit. I’m sorry to hear that.“
“Don’t be sorry, I’m fine. I mean everybody has tough rides. But now, Mr. Centineo, it’s your turn.“ I said, looking at him.
“Oh come on. You gotta guess.“
“Okay. So… Rich parents. Had you in acting since you were a toddler. When the cool times ended you wanted to break out of that perfect Disney star persona, so you did that one terrible movie where you played a psycho pre-teen who was racking his neighbors. Shunned by your entire fan base, you’ve been doing everything you can to regain that perfect image for the last decade. Smiling into cameras, doing interview after interview, trying to portray the picture perfect Hollywood star everyone’s expecting you to be. But it’s hard because it’s not who you really are.“ I guessed, looking at him.
Noah sighed, “Ouch. That was pretty rough.“
“So what did I miss? Except for all the girls of course.“
“Well, you got me. Bad guy right here.“ He said, pointing to himself.
“I never said you were a bad guy, Noah. Just that you’re not perfect. But nobody is.“
“Tough rides for everyone, huh?“ He laughed before changing the topic. “You’re an only child?“
I nodded, “Yup. You?“
“One older sister. My parents are divorced, thank God for that. They still live in Florida.“
“You’re the black sheep of the family?“
“Kinda. I always lived in my sister’s shadow. She’s the perfect A-student who went to Harvard University. She has her own doctor’s office up on the East Coast. The only thing I’m good for is to pay for stuff my parents can’t afford.“ He stated, looking out the window.
“So no rich parents then?“
“No. I moved out to Los Angeles to live with my aunt when I was little. I always fought with my sister and got into trouble a lot. My parents never believed I had the potential to be something better. They never supported me or my acting career. My aunt on the other hand always believed in me. She was the one who helped me channel all of that into my acting. We’re still best friends ‘til this day.“
I couldn’t help but smile at that. There was more to Noah Centineo than I expected. He wasn’t just a self-oriented guy who only cared about himself or his career. He truly seemed to care about his aunt and all the things she had done for him. Maybe I shouldn’t have judged him so quickly.
“That’s cute. The part about your aunt I mean.“ I smiled at him. He just smiled back at me, locking his eyes with mine.
We spent the rest of the ride just chatting away, getting to know each other better. When we finally arrived at the airport we had to hurry through security to catch our flight back to my hometown. Unfortunately, things did take a lot longer than expected and our flight had to be delayed. After a couple of hours, we eventually landed in Conway and hurried over to the car I rented for us and made our way to meet my friends.
It was already dark outside when we finally arrived at the location for the rehearsal dinner.
I pulled the car into the parking spot in front of the restaurant before we both got out of the car.
“Okay, so who’s getting married again?“ Noah asked as he closed the car door behind him.
“My best friend Emily. She’s the least of our worries though. The ones we have to think about are Ashley and Jane.“ I explained as I walked over to him.
“Why? What exactly are they going to do?“ Noah asked, sounding a little worried.
“They’re gonna do anything they can. Just be careful around them okay?“ He nodded.
“Oh and I almost forgot. All of my friend’s call me (Y/N/N). It’s just an easy nickname.“
Noah grabbed something out of his jacket. “I almost forgot about this too.“ He said before, handing it over to me. It was an engagement ring.
I looked at him with wide eyes, “Noah, are you crazy?“
He smiled at me. “Put it on.“ I put in on my finger and just stared at it for a second. “Wow… that’s amazing.“
“Yeah, that’s from my aunt’s first marriage. She let me borrow it.“ He saw that I was struggling to put it on completely and immediately helped me out. “Here, I’ve got it.“ He touched my hand and slipped the ring on until it fit perfectly onto my finger.
“There you go.“ He smiled at me.
“Thanks,“ I whispered, blushing a little.
He let go of my hand and stared at me for a moment, before hiding both of his hands inside his pockets.
“Okay, let’s do this.“ He said, opening the door for me. I gave him a short smile and entered the restaurant before he followed me inside.
****
Once we walked into the restaurant I saw Ashley and Dylan, who immediately stared at the both of us.
“I don’t believe it.“ Ashley stated, completely amazed about Noah being there.
Soon the rest of the group noticed our presence and turned around to look at us, all of them just as surprised to see my fake fiancé as Ashley was.
“Uhm… they seem nice.“ Noah whispered, leaning over to me.
Jane rushed over to Ashley and squeaked into her ear. “Oh my gosh, he’s real.“ I heard her say before they both walked over to greet us. Everyone else did the same, but of course, Emily was the first one to arrive.
She pulled me into a hug and smiled. “Hey.“ I smiled and hugged her back.
“Noah Centineo, look at you. Just as handsome as you are in the movies.“ Ashley pointed out, a shy smile on her face.
“Yeah and tall,“ Jane added, looking him up and down.
Noah just smiled at everyone, but I could tell that he was already feeling a little overwhelmed. I put my hand on his shoulder to reassure him before introducing everyone.
“Okay, so this is Noah. And this is… Emily. Jake. Dylan. Ashley and Jane.“ I said, pointing at each of them as I was saying their names.
“Okay, let’s see. Hello Emily. Jake. Dylan. Ashley and Jane.“ He shook the boys' hand and smiled at the girls as he was going through each of their names.
“We all went to school together except for Jake,“ I explained to Noah.
“My fiancé graduated in the ’90s.“ Emily said, looking at Jake.
“Yes. We didn’t have books then, there was no fire. A lot of us didn’t make it.“ Jake joked, making Noah laugh.
“Oh my gosh, look at this!“ Ashley noticed the ring on my finger and took my hand to look at it.
Jane’s eyes widened, “Oh… wow. Congratulations to both of you.“ She said a little flabbergasted before looking back at us.
“Yeah… congrats.“ Dylan chimed in, a hint of jealousy in his voice.
Noah smiled before looking at Emily and Jake, “Congratulations to you guys as well. I got you a little something.“ He said before pulling out an envelope and handing it to Emily.
“Wow… thank you.“ She smiled at him and Jake did the same. “Thanks, that’s so sweet.“ He then realized what he just said and turned away in embarrassment, but Noah just laughed it off.
“Did we really miss the entire rehearsal dinner? I’m so sorry we were late.“ I apologized, looking at everyone.
“Yeah, you did.“ Ashley answered but Emily brushed it off. “No, it’s seriously fine. Besides you know how these things go. Walk down the aisle, smile, grab a bouquet, done.“
“and what held you guys up anyway?“ Ashley asked looking at us.
“Believe it or not they had to delay the flight because everyone asked for autographs. Luckily they eventually took off though.“ I explained and the others laughed.
“Wow, everything must be easier once you’re famous,“ Ashley commented, glancing at Noah.
He just smiled uncomfortably, clearly wanting to escape the situation.
“Okay, how about we get some punch? We’re here so… come on, help yourselves.“ Emily said before walking over to the buffet. The rest of the group followed her, leaving Noah and me alone.
“So… what did you get them?“ I asked him once everyone had left.
“Uh, it’s nothing.“ He replied, looking at me.
He put his hand on my back and smiled, “I like your friends.“
“So do I.“ I answered before we joined the others.
Noah headed to the buffet to grab some food while I sat at the table, talking to Dylan.
“Okay, so how are things with Hollywood?“ Dylan asked me.
“Oh they’re good. Great.“ I answered, looking at him.
He shook his head and looked over to Noah. “No I mean Mr. Hollywood.“
“Ohh, okay. They’re fine. Everything’s great.“
He sighed, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked.“
“No, it’s fine. It’s all just new, you know? We’re still getting to know each other. Just how it is with new romances.“
“I’m only making sure you’re not making the wrong decision, that’s all.“ He stated, looking back at me.
I glanced over to Noah, who was caught up in a conversation with Ashley and Jane while putting some food on his plate.
“I could say the same thing to you, Dylan.“ He sighed and looked over to his girlfriend Ashley before focusing his eyes back on me.
“Are we ever going to talk about what happened after graduation?“ He asked, folding his hands together.
I shut my eyes and let out a breath before responding to him. “Dylan… I just didn’t know what to say.“
“I told you that I loved you. You could have said it back, you know?“
I sighed, “I just… of course I loved you, Dylan. But-“
“You didn’t think I was good enough for you?“
“We were friends and that meant too much to me.“
He sighed and looked down at his hands, “sweet.“
There was a tension between us that I hated which is why I decided to change the topic.
“Do you remember freshman year? I told my mom I was staying at Ashley’s parents beach house.“
Dylan laughed a little, “yeah and I told my mom that I had to go to Charleston to compete with the debate team just so we could go camping together. You heard a sound and thought it was a bear and completely freaked out.“
“I did not! You got freaked out. You could barely roast your marshmallow.“
“Truth be told: I wasn’t scared. I just wanted to get closer to you.“ He admitted, looking at me.
I didn’t know what to say to that which is why I just looked back at him.
He fumbled around with his hands before he said, “I don’t think I have with Ashley what I had with you.“
“Maybe you haven’t tried. Maybe you should though. I mean, Ashley’s great.“
Dylan nodded, “Yeah, maybe you’re right.“ He paused for a second. “Do you have with Noah what you had with me? Or maybe even better?“ He asked, sounding a little nervous.
“I mean he’s my fiancé, right?“ I answered before Noah joined us back at the table.
****
After two hours at the restaurant Noah and I decided to leave and go back home to my parent’s house, which was where we were staying for the night.
When we arrived it was pitch black inside, meaning my parents were already asleep.
I quietly closed the door behind me before putting all my stuff down on the floor.
“So this is where you grew up, huh?“ Noah asked, looking around the house.
“Yeah.“ I whispered back while I was fumbling for the light switch.
When the lights turned back on, my parents jumped out of their hiding places, scaring both Noah and me.
I screamed and Noah jumped out of his skin while my parents just laughed at us. “I told you guys to never do that again!“ I said before greeting them with a hug.
“Oh come on, it’s our tradition.“ My mom said, laughing.
“Whenever she came home late, we’d be hiding in the dark and go 'paaah’ and it would scare her every time!“ She told Noah, making me roll my eyes.
“Yeah, it’s a creepy tradition.“ I pointed out which made Noah laugh.
“Oh look at you. My future son-in-law.“ My mom smiled before pulling Noah into a hug. He smiled and hugged her back. “Welcome to our home.“ She said once they pulled apart from each other.
“Thank you for having me, Mr. and Mrs. (Y/L/N).“ Noah smiled at my parents.
“No, sir. It’s Bill and Sandy.“ My dad said, wrapping his arm around my mother’s waist.
“Bill and Sandy. Okay.“
My mom looked at us, “Okay, let’s get you guys settled in. (Y/N), you know the way. You young man just follow her.“ She said as we were going upstairs.
I lead the way to my room where Noah and my parents followed me to.
“Creepy fact number 2: they left my room exactly like this.“ I said, pointing towards my childhood bedroom.
“I think this is awesome. Every time I go home my room is used for different activities. Yoga studio, game room. And the last time I visited it was a room for foster dogs.“
“There’s no reason for us to change it. I mean it’s not our’s to change.“ My mom stated, leaning against the bedroom door.
“They’re probably hoping for me to move back here.“
“Oh honey, what kind of parents would we be if we didn’t?“ Noah smiled at that, looking over to me.
“Alright. You two should probably get some rest. If there’s anything that you need, just let us know.“
Noah nodded, “Thank you Mrs-“ My mom cleared her throat. “I mean Sandy.“
My mom smiled at us before both of them went back to their room next door.
Noah sat down on my bed and looked at me. “Yeah, your parents are pretty awesome. You’re very lucky, (Y/N).“
“Yeah, but you’re still not sleeping here.“ I said and Noah looked at me confused.
“There’s a futon next door with your name written all over it.“ I said, pointing towards the guest room.
“Alright.“ Noah got up from my bed and walked out of the room. I let out a breath before getting ready to go to bed.
****
When I walked downstairs the next morning I heard laughter coming from the kitchen. I went to check out what was going on and saw Noah making breakfast with my parents.
They seemed to have a lot of fun together which I thought was really cute. I also got to see a different side of Noah that I hadn’t seen before. A more funny, sweet kind of side that I really enjoyed being around.
I was just hoping that my parents didn’t get too attached to him though since we weren’t actually getting married.
I smiled at them before we sat down together to have some breakfast. Once we were finished with eating, Noah and I had to head off to the next wedding-related event.
We grabbed our suitcases and walked out the door.
“Alright, so what’s next on the big wedding agenda?“ Noah asked as we walked to my car.
“We’re headed to the beach. Tonight is the Bachelor and Bachelorette Party.“
“You know, I’ve actually never been to one of those,“ Noah mentioned as he put our suitcases in the trunk.
“Oh relax, it’s not gonna be as bad as it is in the movies. You guys are gonna play some video games and eat lots of junk food. There’s probably also gonna be a burping contest and lots of other manly stuff.“ I explained, looking at him.
“All of the things you just mentioned sound awesome to me.“ Noah said before we got into the car.
“Thank you by the way for helping me with my suitcase,“ I said as I pulled out of the parking lot.
Noah smiled at me, “You’re welcome.“
A few minutes later we arrived at the beach where everyone else was already waiting. I parked the car and grabbed our suitcases before we both headed to our cabins.
Once I brought my stuff up to my cabin I went back outside to meet my friends, who were all waiting by a table right next to the beach. Noah was already there, talking to them when I arrived and smiled when he saw me. I smiled back and walked over to him.
“So… he proposed to you at work?“ Ashley asked after a while, looking at us curiously.
“Actually it was more like-“
“It was a whole thing, you know.“ Noah interrupted and I played along.
“yeah and then it was just… wow.“ I added and Noah nodded, “yeah totally. I’m usually not that romantic but I just couldn’t help myself when it comes to her.“ He then wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I looked at him with loving eyes, playing the perfect part.
Ashley and Jane 'awwed’ at that, but Dylan just looked at them confused, “What are you guys awwing about? They didn’t even say anything.“
Ashley rolled her eyes at her boyfriend, “They don’t have to say anything. It's so romantic.“ She said, looking at us.
“What’s so romantic about that?“ Dylan asked before he added, “I’m romantic. I’m very romantic.“
“How are you romantic, babe?“ Ashley asked, raising her brows at him.
“I took you to the pier last week and we got ice cream.“
“Yeah, but Jane went with us.“
“Ashley, you don’t even like all that romantic stuff.“
“Oh yeah? How do you know that?“ She asked, clearly annoyed at Dylan.
“Well to me and it might be sappy, anything can be romantic with the right person. It doesn’t really matter what you do together as long as you’re with the person you can be romantic with.“ Emily chimed in, looking at her fiancé, who smiled and kissed her on the cheek.
“Anything can be romantic?“ Jane asked and Emily nodded, “Yeah, anything. Like making breakfast in the morning together. That can be very romantic.“
“Yeah. Noah makes great omelets.“ I commented, thinking back to earlier this morning when he and my dad made omelets together. Noah smiled and blushed a little.
A tall, brunette, beautiful but slightly older woman walked in and looked over to us. “Uhh, guys. I’d like you to meet my publicist Susanne. She’s just coming by to make sure everything’s good, you know?“ He said, introducing us to her.
“Hey, guys. Look at you… all so cute and American.“ Susanne said, looking at everyone.
Noah looked at me, putting his hand on my back. “And this is my fiancé (Y/N).“ He introduced me to her.
Susanne stared at me for a second before reaching out to shake my hand. I took it, feeling a little bit of tension coming from her. She was probably the one Noah was dating in real life which I assumed because of the way she was looking at him while looking at me with jealous eyes.
“Hey, (Y/N). It’s so nice to finally meet you. Noah has said so many good things about you.“ She smiled while she kept shaking my hand.
“It’s nice to meet you too, Susanne.“ I said, looking back at her. She was still shaking my hand which just felt weird at this point and luckily Noah seemed to sense how uncomfortable I felt and stopped us by putting his hand on Susanne’s arm.
“Okay, that’s enough. You guys are officially shaken.“ He said and I gave him a thankful smile.
Susanne looked at me one more time before turning around, “I’m gonna dip my toes in the pool. Anyone care to join me?“ She asked, looking at the boys who were there for the Bachelor party.
They nodded and the three of them disappeared towards the pool. Once Susanne was gone, everyone let out a breath.
“Was that the stripper for the bachelor party?“ Ashley joked.
“She can join us at the bachelorette party tonight if she wants.“ Emily said, looking at me and Noah, who instantly shook his head at that, “No… no it’s okay.“
“I’d love to!“ Susanne interrupted, causing all of us to look at her.
“Okay, good.“ Emily said, trying to cool the atmosphere which didn’t really seem to work though.
I could tell how tense Noah was and wrapped my arm around him. “Hey, you okay?“ I asked but he just smiled at me. “Yeah, sure. Everything’s great.“ I know he wasn’t being honest with me but decided to just drop it and smiled back at him instead.
****
It was a few hours later and Emily’s bachelorette party was still going. We were headed towards the pool, trying cool off a little bit.
Emily and Susanne were getting along pretty well and were walking together, while Jane and Ashley were with me.
“Have you ever met that publicist before?“ Ashley asked when we arrived at the pool.
I shook my head, “No, not before today. She’s very big in the business though.“
“She was getting really flirty with your fiancé at the beach this afternoon.“ Ashley commented and Jane nodded, “yeah and she’s like super gorgeous.“
“And she’s flirty. Very flirty.“ Ashley said again but I just brushed it off. “Relax, you guys. She’s married to this handsome big-time agent in L.A. Besides, she’s not the first girl to flirt  with Noah. Girls flirt with him all the time, you two included.“ I said, looking back at my friends. “I’m not worried about it. I trust Noah.“
“Or maybe you’re just a very good actress.“ Ashley stated, looking at me.
“He’s dated a lot of girls, (Y/N).“ Jane added.
“Yeah, I know. But he never makes me feel insecure so I’m not worried about it.“ I told her, which was the truth. I never did feel insecure around him even though I had a lot of reasons to be. Sure, he’s been an asshole to me when we first met, but he wasn’t like that to me anymore.
“Wow. A lot has changed since high school, huh?“ Ashley stated.
I looked at her confused, “What are you talking about?“
“I don’t know. You just used to be very insecure.“
“No, I’m not. Wasn’t. I wasn’t.“ I defended myself.
“Come on, (Y/N/N). You were super insecure. You never went out with anybody. You buried yourself in like-“
“The glee club, jazz choir. You did everything.“ Jane interrupted, looking back at me as well.
“I went out with Dylan all the time!“
“Yeah, but you used him to feel better about yourself.“
I gasped, “Yeah? Is that what you’re doing with him now?“
“Don’t try to turn this around on me. Dylan and I are doing just fine. I just worry about you, (Y/N).“
“What is that supposed to mean?“ I asked, looking at her with questioning eyes.
“Oh come on. He’s Noah Centineo. And you’re… you.“
“Can’t imagine why I’m insecure when I’ve got friends like you.“
“I’m not trying to pick a fight here, I’m just saying. He’s really good looking and I’d understand if you felt insecure. I just don’t want you to sabotage anything.“
Wow, so that’s how lowly my friends thought of me. I actually thought things had changed since high school, but they clearly hadn’t. At least not when it came to them.
“You’re wrong,“ I said and Ashley gave me a questioning look. “About you and Noah?“
“No, about how things have changed. You’re still playing games. Stupid little high school games.“ I told her before walking away from them.
I walked off and took a little breather when I saw Noah heading towards the bar. I decided to join him and walked over to him.
“Hey. What are you doing here?“ I asked before taking a seat next to him.
“Hey. I just needed to get away for a while. It started to get a little crazy with the guys. How about you? What are you doing here? You’re the maid of honor. Shouldn’t you be… I don’t know, leading the party or something?“ He asked, looking back at me.
“Yeah, apparently that honor has been crowned to your publicist Susanne. She sure knows how to have a good time.“
Noah laughed before taking a sip out of the wine he was holding in his hands.
“She’s the one you’re seeing, right?“ I questioned and Noah sighed, “Yeah. Are you mad?“
“I’m not.“  
“You seem mad, though.“
“I’m not mad at you, Noah. I’m mad at my friends. They got to me tonight. It’s like high school drama all over again. Ashley made me feel bad about myself just like she used to back in school.“ I explained, immediately feeling angry again.
Noah noticed how tense I was and handed me the bottle of wine he was holding, which I gladly took.
“Thanks.“ I said before taking a big sip out of it.
“She’s probably jealous,“ Noah commented. I put the bottle down and looked back at him.
“Wow, you have an ego, Centineo.“
Noah laughed at that, “I didn’t mean about me. I meant about Dylan. I see the way he looks at you.“
“You picked up on that?“ I asked, a little surprised.
“I’m not quite as self-involved as you might think. I am capable of observing too.“ Noah said, looking at me.
“Yeah… we used to be close and then we weren’t. I don’t know it just ended. I was young and stupid. He… told me he loved me and I freaked out.“ I explained to him.
Noah nodded, “Yeah. That happens sometimes.“
“Things just got kind of weird since he started dating her.“
Noah leaned against the bar counter, crossing his arms. “Do you think he’s just with her because he can’t be with you?“
I shrugged my shoulders, “I don’t know. I hope not.“  
“Do you think people always find their perfect match? Their so-called 'other half’?“ He suddenly asked, his voice changing a little.
“I mean…my mom and dad did.“
Noah sighed a little, “Yeah, they did give you pretty high standards, didn’t they? I don’t think it was as easy for them as you think, though. They worked pretty hard for what they have. Like all relationships do. I wish my parents would have worked harder sometimes. Maybe things would be different then.“ He said before taking another sip out the bottle.
I looked at him not really sure what to say. He certainly wasn’t the kind of person I first thought he was. He acted like a picture perfect Hollywood star that had everything anyone would ever want, but I could tell that he wasn’t really happy. It bothered him that he and his parents weren’t close and that he never really tried to work things out with them. I think the reason why he dated and hooked up with a ton of girls was because he liked the attention he was getting from them, which was something he never really got from his parents. He probably just felt insecure about himself and wanted to be with someone who didn’t make him feel that way.
“But I guess what really matters is how do you feel about him?“ He asked, looking back at me.
“I don’t know. I mean I did have feelings for him but I was… insecure and not mature enough or maybe just not ready. I don’t really know, probably all three of them.“ I said, laughing a little.
“and what about now?“
“I don’t know, it’s different. He’s different. Not like it used to be.“
“That’s because you broke his heart. You’re a heartbreaker.“
“I’m a heartbreaker? What about you? Haven’t you broken plenty of hearts already?
“Probably not as many as you’d think. I had my heart broken though and I can tell you that it changes you. Which is probably why Dylan is acting the way he is in front of you.“
I laughed a little, “Seems like you’re quite the expert, Centineo.“
Noah smiled, “Just speaking from my own experience.“ He stated before taking another sip.
“You know… I gotta admit. This is not quite as bad as I thought it was gonna be. It’s actually been kind of fun.“ He admitted and I nodded, “Yeah, it’s definitely gone better than I expected.“ I paused and looked over to him.
“You too, for the record. I’m sorry if I gave you a hard time before.“
“Yeah… I wasn’t exactly a gentlemen around you either.“ He responded, smiling at me. I smiled back at him, our eyes meeting. My heart jumped a little as I stared into his hazel brown eyes and I immediately looked away from him.
You can’t (Y/N), you know you can’t. He’s your fake fiancé, remember? Things can’t get real between you two. Besides he’s with someone else, so don’t even try to get too attached to him. I tell myself, knowing it was the truth.
“So… you think the party’s still going on?“ Noah asked, changing the topic.
I nodded, “Yeah, I should probably go and check on Emily. She never stays up past midnight and she’s probably passed out on the couch, especially after all that wine we had.“
“Alright.“ Noah said, getting up from the stool. I followed his movement before walking over to the entrance of the building.
“Okay, so what time are we supposed to leave tomorrow?“ Noah asked once we arrived at the entrance.
“I think at like 10? The wedding starts at five so.“
“Alright.“
He stared at me for a moment and smiled, “Thank you for a nice time. I had a lot of fun tonight.“
“Yeah, so did I. Thank you too.“ I answered, smiling back at him.
We stared at each other for a while and I could tell that he wanted to make a move on me. It wasn’t like I didn’t want him to, because I did. There was an unspoken connection between the two of us that was really intriguing to me, but I knew it couldn’t happen though. Because of that I turned around and walked away from him without saying another word. I felt his burning eyes on me as I walked inside but didn’t turn back around to look at him again.
Instead I headed back inside to check on my best friend Emily, who was fast asleep on the couch, before going back to my cabin to get some sleep for the big wedding day tomorrow.
