I realize most folks really don’t understand what it’s like to be a victim of narcissistic abuse especially from a parent
when I was in therapy my therapist would always insist that I try to fix things, or bridge the gap, or give my abuser a chance
but like that just wasn’t possible when every other time I had given this man so much leeway and chance, and each time I get messed up and twisted
my therapist once compared to me a growling dog, saying how in this metaphor no one will approach a growling dog or give it a chance. you wouldn’t want to approach a growling dog and always spoke about how it took two people to make a relationship (parental, platonic, romantic. Any) work
But I always asked him why am I risking myself getting hurt to give him a chance like I did so many times. He would just say that to me, it wasn’t his intention but his advice had made me get closer to my abuser time and time again only for me to reel away like I always do and cut contact
He wasn’t malicious but I don’t think he ever understood who my father was, truly, and thought he was just a flawed man when he was more
And I got mad, so mad, and when he inadvertently ‘called me a dog. A growling dog. That no one would approach, that my father would not approach his growling daughter. So I said ‘we’re both growling dogs’ he snapped at me as much as I snapped at him, but I was his child and he had raised me to bite and growl when he raised his hand
I didn’t talk to my therapist after that, ever again, I had already quit therapy by that time and he was generous enough to let me talk to him one more time. He had helped me a lot, truly, but the one subject we’d never see eye to eye on was my father and abuser
He had offered to bring in my father multiple times so we could talk, and I had always been skittish and afraid of it I would recoil like a trapped animal, because he was a charmer. He knew how to make you feel good, he knew, and there was always a fear in my gut that he’d be able to even charm my own therapist. He tried to reassure me, that he was there for me, but I could never risk it
He would always insist I be the one to talk to him, try to settle things with him, apologize. I have done that, and yet nothing had changed. I tried to give him an inch, but he turns it into a mile and I am trapped in this cycle where he makes me feel good and important, and then leaves and leaves me confused and fogged. He tells me he loves me, that he’s such a great father and that no one else has a father like him, I should be so happy and so glad, and then he’d insult me, hurt me, and snap at me. At a certain point, I just gave up
I wanted change, and none of this was going to yield it and I was frankly sick of acting like the adult all the time. Apologizing for his childish behavior in public, apologizing to school staff because he would yell and scream at them. He got me kicked out of the vet and I was nearly not allowed back in when we had to euthanize one of my cats because he yelled at a receptionist so brutally she cried and had to leave work. I had to learn how to temper his tantrums or he’d get fed up and leave, I had to learn how to try and minimize the damage he would cause to others and me. Whenever I’d tell him, even for simplistic things, to stop doing something he would just brush me off and deny me. Or say my words weren’t my own.
He would hold things over my head, berate me, corner me. Make sure I couldn’t physically leave, until I apologizes to him and had to bow my head. Block out doorways, creep up my stairs with heavy stomps, not answer when I ask ‘who’s there?’— always on edge when I heard someone stomp, stomp, and they didn’t announce themselves. Because he’d corner me.
I was a child, I don’t think I could’ve ever changed this. But ever since I was a child, I said the same thing. I don’t want contact, I don’t it, I don’t want him in my life, if he wasn’t my father I wouldn’t even have known him. I am repulsed by him as a person, I am disgusted by his actions, and I hate him. I love him too, as my father, but I have never hated someone so deeply in my heart ever before. He was my first, and I hope my last.
He has hurt me in a way I don’t think others can’t, I think he was my first heartbreak, and he was my first taste of acrimony
He still hurts me, even when he is not present for it, and can send me into an uncontrollable haze and fog. It is terrifying as it is frustrating
No one can hurt me as much as my Daddy has, and no one can retch as much hatred— and pure venom— from my heart as much alike my Daddy can
Tl;dr: Narcissist abuse fucks u up lol

extra one shots for the farmer’s market au, you say?? i know requests are closed and the fic isn’t even done yet, but if you felt inclined to write steve and r apple picking and then pie baking… i would be indebted to you
-b
you asked for this before the fic was even done but i knew i had to do it. so, here you go! hope you enjoy :)
bee girl and steve bake apple pie before thanksgiving, post-au | [1k] a no good at waiting one-shot, au masterlist __
"I just don't see how you have never baked a pie before...ever." Steve shrugs and continues to wash the apples you scavenged from the almost-bare orchard. It's the very end of the season and you've just spent a few hours in the cold collecting as much as you can carry.
"El usually does it," he tells you. "But this year she practically begged me to invite you over instead. She said she had faith that we could work it out." The soft smile on his face is so endearing you just have to kiss him. So you do -- a soft, quick peck on his cheek. He doesn't stop washing but his cheeks darken. The air has been cleared after Halloween and every day you wake up with butterflies knowing that Steve is your boyfriend. That this town is your new home.
"You're not going to make me do all the work, right?" Steve's kitchen is too small for the number of pies you're going to make -- four, apparently -- so you've taken over the kitchen of the main house. It's huge and airy, the sink boxy and deep and the cabinets painted a light green. It's a little too stylish for Hopper, you think, but El seems to make good use of it.
"Oh, because you're the pie expert?" He flicks water at you from his fingertips and you yelp. "I don't think so, honey. I am out here to prove myself." Apples washed, he properly dries his hands and steps around you to get the cookbook. The kitchen is big enough for you to have your own space but Steve sticks close, hands on your hips lightly as he moves, as if he's happy to float in your orbit. Which, you suppose, he is. He loves you.
"Okay," he says, dragging out the second syllable. "Wanna do a big batch of dough, then cut apples, then we can fill and decorate the tops?" You hum, coming to stand behind him to hook your chin over his shoulder and read the recipe for yourself. He leans back into you for just a second, sighing with what you've come to recognize as contentment.
You work together well, turning on the oven and pulling out ingredients in sync even though you don't know where anything is in the kitchen.
"Why the fuck are tablespoon and teaspoon abbreviated almost the same," he mutters. "Oh, El said she made crust for us and it's in the fridge."
You open it and find four neatly rapped balls of dough. "She did the hard stuff for us!" you cry. "Next year we have to make it ourselves." You don't realize what you've said until Steve doesn't reply. Next year. Like you're planning that far ahead.
"Okay," he says softly. When you turn to look at him he's smiling, eyes find and hands already reaching for you. "We'll do it next year." He pulls you in by your belt loops for a quick kiss, on the lips this time. It still leaves you a little dizzy.
"Don't think Hopper would want us making out in his kitchen, Steve," you mumble, eyes closed. He groans but release you, heading for the cutting board.
"Fine," he says. "But once the pies are in? All bets are off." He winks at you before he tosses a clean apple in the air and catches it. "Now, you wanna roll out the dough while I cut these?"
You make four large circles and save some to top the pies with, thin strips that you intend to weave into lattices. Steve carefully chops the apples before you both make the filling to toss them in.
It's a quiet process, but you're good at that. Much of your talking as a couple occurs in bed when you're holding each other close, or on the phone in the middle of the day, or when you're driving. When you're together you settle into the peace of enjoying each other's breathing. Sometimes it's enough to just be in the same room as someone you love.
Before you know it, you have four filled pies and all that's left is to lattice the tops. "This looks complicated," Steve says. "You sure you want me to help? I might just mess it up."
"Don't be silly, Steve," you scold gently. "Just watch me and do it at the same time. You're coordinated." He rolls his eyes at you but copies your movements as you weave, carefully lifting and placing the strands of dough. "Just like that, yeah, see? You've got it!" you tell him and he preens, mouth curled at the corner as he looks over at you through his fringe. He insists on doing the second one himself, and it's almost perfect.
"How much time do we have?" you ask. He checks the cookbook as you slide the dishes into the oven.
"50 minutes, I think. We'll keep an eye on them. It would be a bummer to burn down my own job, huh?" He starts to put the dishes you used in the sink and turns on the hot water. You move to help him, drying as he finishes scrubbing.
For just a second, you imagine doing this with Steve in a kitchen that you share. A home of your own, life together in a whole new way. Maybe for your own dinner party or just for yourselves, baking something delicious and eating it on your couch in your living room and going to your bed after. It's a nice thought.
"What're you smiling about?" he asks you, bumping your hip with his.
"Oh, nothing," you say, and he crinkles his nose at you. He won't push but you're trying to be more candid with him and though you're a little embarrassed, you tell him a version of the truth. "I just love you, is all." He blinks like he wasn't expecting it, though you've said it many times by now. Then he turns off the water and gently takes the towel you're holding to dry his own hands before he turns to face you fully.
"Well," he says, a little shy. "Maybe taste the pie first and see if that's still true." You laugh and lean into him, breathing in the smell of the apples mixed with the warmth that's all Steve.
"Love you, too," he whispers against your temple.

The Lady and the Lord
Chapter 11
Eddie munson x fem!reader
This is a repost since the old blog doesn't work anymore. 🥰
Chapter summary: some domestic (well deserved) time for our heroes.
Chapter warnings: spoiler season 4, cuteness.
Tumblr media
I don't think there are words to describe what I'm feeling right now.
Hopper, El and I sitting on the floor of Hopper's cabin, because they didn't have time to fix everything else properly yet, eating some pizza.
"God... I missed pizza" Hopper basically moans as he eats a slice.
"I bet" I nod. "Now we gotta get you back to your previous form"
"Don't worry. I'll get there in no time. Gotta make up for all that... well...whatever they fed us" he says with a chuckle.
I can't imagine what he's been through all this time... he deserves to rest... well deserved.
"I missed you" El suddenly says and we turn our head to look at her.
"I missed you too... both of you" Hopper smiles "even if you were a real pain in the ass sometimes"
El and Hopper laugh.
"That's not true!" I defend myself.
"You're right, you're right... you were a real bane" he chuckles and I open my mouth shocked by his words, but amused at the same time.
"You're really not the one to make that argument?!" I challenge.
"What? What did I do?" He laughs.
"You weren't that better" El agrees with me.
"Ah!" I exclaim.
"You two are trying to make me regret the Russian prison? Is that what this is?" He jokes taking another big bites of pizza.
"Never. We don't want to lose you anymore" I say with a smile, looking at El who nods.
"Neither do I" Hopper smile is genuine.. Happy and relieved. As if now he can finally take a break.
I feel my eye getting wet from happy tears so I just blink them away with a chuckle.
"Okay, I don't need any more crying. Let's talk about something else" I declare eating my own slice of pizza.
They nod laughing with me.
"Who... who's Eddie? Dustin talked a lot about him" El softly asks.
Oh god.
"Yeah" Hop take advantage of her question "who is Eddie? Uh?"
"I'm so happy you're here I-" I try to change subject again, but Hopper cuts me off.
"Oh no, no, you won't get away with it now. No Harrington to save you this time either. Who. Is. Eddie?" He says with the most triumphant grin I've ever seen.
"Fuck..." I mutter, I look at El, she sends me an apologetic, yet teasing smile so I take a deep breath "he's my boyfriend... since, uh... today"
"Wait... is this Eddie Munson? As in the drug dealer?" He suddenly asks.
"Yeah..." I say, ready to hear him say I shouldn't be with him.
"He better be treating you right, then" he simply says, catching me off guard.
"Wait... is he okay to you? Like no 'you shouldn't associate yourself with people like him' or something?"
"He's always been a good kid, okay? Not a Saint... far from it. But... he did what he had to do. His father wasn't the best person out there" He explains.
"Yeah.. I know" I sigh.
"So... as long as he treats you right and doesn't do anything illegal... he's alright to me" he gently smiles.
"You love him?" El asks. I look at her smiling at me, I nod.
"He better not break your heart"
"Yeah yeah, Steve already gave him the speech" I wave him off.
"Harrington?" Hopper asks sceptically "Cool-Hair? Really?"
I nod, holding back a laugh.
"Okay.." he sighs "I will have to give this Eddie the actual speech, then"
At that El and I burst out laughing, loudly. Hop looks at us with a warm smile before laughing with us.
The evening goes on like this, laughs and catch ups.
Hopped told us about his time in Russia, how he managed to befriend one fo the guards and then escaped with Joyce and Murray's help.
El told us about her experience in high school in California. Which made my blood boil after hearing about this Angela treating her like shit. She then told us how she got her powers back, about Brenner being alive and about what she discovered about her past... how she first defeated One.
I gently grab her hand after she finished talking and she smile at me, grateful.
I told them about Chrissy, how Eddie had to hide because the whole town thought he was the killer. I told them about us being stuck in the Upside Down, our plan and how Eddie almost died to help us.
When it got late Hopper offered to drive me home so I wish El goodnight and go to get in the car with Hop.
"You sure he treats you right?" Hopper asks while he drives.
"I'm sure, Hop. He's really nice" I tell him.
"Gotta meet him.. I mean.. it's my job, now" he says seriously, but I can tell he's smiling.
" you will, I promise. Just don't be too harsh on him, uh?"
"I'll try. No promises."
"So..." I start, after a while, with a teasing tone.
"So?"
"You and Joyce?"
"What about it?" He asks trying to sound casual about it.
"You needed a year in a russian prison to grow some balls?" I tease.
"For the record... I asked her out before being captured. I just got held up" he defends.
"Mmh... I'll ask her" I declare.
"Go ahead" he invites proudly.
I laugh.
"I'm happy for you, Hop" I say "like.. really happy"
"So am I" he replies. "I'm also very proud of you"
"What for?" I ask confused.
"You grew up so much from last time. Not only physically, but you are braver, more confident. Not that you weren't before... but you know. I talked to Dustin and the others, they told me how you defended them. From monsters and from these jocks that hunted your boyfriend down, gotta give me the names by the way, I'm proud of you"
"How do you know about that?" I ask surprised.
"Dustin" he simply answers.
Oh Dusty..
"I got it from you" I shyly say after a moment. "The bravery"
"Nah, you might be a Hopper now, but that courage has always been there. You just needed to believe in yourself a bit more" he chuckles.
"Maybe" I shrug.
"No, no, it's always been there. Trust me. Stop putting yourself down." He gently scolds me.
"I'm trying"
"You better be"
He pulls up to my house and stops the car.
"Thank you" I tell him.
"No problem. It's good to be back to the old habit" he says.
"I..." I start "Uh... when El won't need to hide anymore... maybe.. uh..maybe you two can live here..?"
Silence falls in the car.
"What about your independence, uh?" He tries, to check if I'm messing with him, I think.
" I know how being independent feels like... I think I want to find out what having a family at home feels like.." I look down playing with my rings as I keep talking "there's enough space to gain two more bedrooms... and, uh... it's close to the police station too."
There's silence again so I turn my head to look at Hopper... wiping away some tears.
"Are you crying?" I ask surprised.
"Of course I am!" He replies as a matter of fact and I softly laugh.
"Should I take it as a yes?" I then ask, rhetorically.
"You should. Yes" he tells me with a proud smile. "Now go get some sleep. It's already very late"
I get out of the car with a smile.
"Don't start being the strict father you tend to be!" I warn him.
"You signed the papers, I can be whatever father I want" he jokes.
"The best one. I know" I tell him walking away, not before noticing a surprised and tender smile growing on his face.
I got home and for the first time in a long time I slept like a baby.
No monster to fight, no douchebag to avoid... just a peaceful night of sleep.
"Thanks again for driving us, Argyle" I thank Jonathan's friend, who gently offered to drive me to get Eddie from the hospital.
I'm sitting in the back with Dustin, while Jonathan sits in the front, he and Dustin helped me look around Eddie's destroyed trailer to see what survived and what could be fixed.
One thing in particular seemed to survive just fine. Can't wait to show it to Eddie.
"No problemo" Argyle answers.
"And thank you Jonathan for helping us this morning" Dustin says.
"Don't worry about it, Dustin. Glad I helped." Jonathan smiles.
"You're curious to know Eddie, aren't you?" Dustin asks with a proud grin and I roll my eyes with a laugh.
"Gotta say yes" he laughs.
"I knew it!" Dustin exclaims.
"Why?" I laugh.
"Because one Dustin and Lucas can't seem to shut up about him and two you're family, I need to be sure he's good enough for you" Jonathan explains.
I smile at that, we really are family.
"Are you too gonna threaten him? Get in line I'm afraid" I tell him.
"Who else?" He asks taken aback.
"Well... Steve already gave him the speech, Dustin here wants too, Hop 'gotta meet him'... so... yeah, get in line" I chuckle.
"Can I get in line too?" Argyle asks, as if he asked if the sit is taken or something "you seem cool, dude, and if you're Jonathan's friend, you're my friend too"
"Thank you, Argyle" I laugh.
"Also... Steve doesn't count" Dustin comments.
"Oohh I'll tell him you said that!"
"You won't!"
"I will" I laugh.
We finally get to the hospital and Dustin and I go get Eddie while Jonathan and Argyle stay in the parking lot.
Dustin knocks at the door and when we hear Eddie's voice telling us to come in we enter.
"There he is!" Dustin announces.
Eddie's standing up putting putting on his shirt and smiles brightly when he sees us.
"Thought you never came" he jokes.
"I tried to leave you here, but Dustin missed you too much" I joke walking to him.
"You tried, uh?" He grabs my waist to pull me to him.
"I did, he didn't listen... now I'm stuck with you" I say feigning annoyance.
"Oh poor lady" he mocks.
"Uh... guys" Dustin speaks "do you mind? Not in front of me? Please?"
"Sorry" I say with a small laugh.
"I'm not sorry, but fine" Eddie shrugs and lets go of me.
"Ready to go, then?" I ask him.
"Yeah" he says grabbing a small bag with some clothes we brought him.
We walk to the exit and I feel Eddie walking as close to me as possible.
I notice some of the people there sending him hatred and scared looks. Even if both the chief and police officers dropped any accusations towards him, and even apologised to him, people in this town can't help but still blame him.
Eddie walks looking down, afraid of what he might see if he met one of those stare, so I grab his hand, squeezing it as we walk, and finally I feel him relaxing as we arrive at the parking lot to Jonathan and Argyle.
We all planned a small dinner with everyone, both to have a real first moment of relief and also to give Lucas an excuse to take a break.
We stop to grab some pizza in this little place close to Family Video, so we can pick up Steve and Robin and then go to the Wheeler's house.
As we wait Robin and Steve joins us.
"Hey there!" Robin and Steve greet us.
"Hey, man. How do you feel?" Steve asks Eddie.
"A lot better" Eddie answers.
"That's good because..." Robin starts walking up to Eddie "because if you dare, or even slightly remotely think about hurting my friend... you are completely and utterly done"
"She skipped the line!" Argyle exclaims.
"Trust me... that's definitely not in my plans.." Eddie replies, taken aback.
"Oh god" I mutter "Guys, can you please stop threatening my boyfriend?"
A chorus of 'ooh's emerges from the group and Eddie turns to me with a proud grin.
"Yeah, guys, and stop getting my girlfriend all flustered" he pulls me to him "that's my job"
A fake gag sound escapes Dustin mouth at that, but I know he's the happiest about it.
After a while of chatting as we wait some people come in, we simply acknowledge them and get back at listening to Jonathan and Argyle talking about California, but I can still feel them staring... and unfortunately I know who they're staring at.
I stay close to Eddie, knowing he feels their stare too, and I try to give him as much comfort as I can.
I lock eyes with Steve who looks at me with a questioning look so I slightly nod at the people staring at us.
Surprisingly Steve turns around to look at them.
"Got a problem?" He asks making them jump taken aback. "Go mind your own business, uh?"
He turns back around and motion Jonathan to go on, and I see him sending Eddie a supporting nod to which Eddie answers with a thankful one.
When we finally get the pizza we immediately head to the Wheeler's.
"No way!" Eddie exclaims " the neverending story song? Really?"
He sits with Lucas, Dustin and Will on the floor and they're telling him about last summer. Dustin tries to hid himself, embarrassed.
Me and the rest sit on the couch and armchairs around them, Mike is with El in Hopper's cabin.
"And he sang it beautifully" I chime in.
"Yeah, Henderson, should've recorded it" Steve joins.
"Ooh I wish I could have been there!" Eddie jokes.
"Oh, no, trust me, you don't" Jonathan tell him, with a small chuckle. "It was messy"
"Yeah, I was just acting tough, man" Eddie replies.
"Just like you pretend you're that big coward, when in reality you're not." Dustin tells him.
"Yeah, Munson you're a hero. Take some credits" Steve says with a shrug.
"The whole town thinks otherwise" he sadly mutters.
"We think you are. And we're the smartest persons you could ever meet so... we're right" Dustin states.
"You do?" Eddie asks.
"Of course, love" I rub his shoulders to comfort him, making him turn around.
"Thanks" he sweetly say, then turn to everyone "really, thank you"
"Plus... I guess we are all freaks here. We stick together" Robin states.
"Exactly!" Dustin exclaims ecstatic.
"Always" Lucas agrees.
"Hey, guys" Karen enters the basement. "Can someone come up here and help me bring down some snacks?"
"We already got pizza, mom" Nancy tells her.
"Can't eat that all night, c'mon" Karen encourages.
I look at Nancy rolling her eyes and getting up.
"I'll come too" I say getting up as well.
"Thanks" she says as we go upstairs.
We arrive in the kitchen and start helping Mrs Wheeler with the snacks.
"It's so nice having you all back to hang out like that" she comments "helping each other out, supporting each other"
"That's what family does, isn't it?" I shyly say.
"Exactly" she replies with a big and warm smile.
I look at Nancy, who's also smiling.
"We also got two good additions I think" she jokes.
"Oh yeah, that.. Argyle seems very nice, a bit in his own world, but nice" Karen says "and Eddie" she looks at me.
"Yeah?" I ask confused.
"Is he nice?" I can hear the teasing in her tone.
"I... well.. yeah.. I mean, everyone loves him" I nervously chuckle.
I see Nancy and her mother sharing a knowing look.
"What's that look?" I ask, half amused by their teasing.
"Oh nothing, nothing. Is he nice... to you?"
I look at Nancy, knowing she already told her mother about me and Eddie, but she shrugs innocently.
"Yeah, Mrs Wheeler. He is" I say, with my cheeks heating up when she gives me a knowing look.
"I'm glad to hear it, sweetie" she gently says, as she puts some peanut butter on a piece of bread.
"He can't seem to have eye for nothing else" Nancy chimes in.
"Yeah, okay, stop teasing me" I jokingly complain.
"Alright alright, c'mon there you go, girls. Have fun" Karen hands us the rest of the snacks she made and me and Nancy walk back downstairs.
"We got food!" Nancy announces and we pit all the food on the table with the rest of the pizza.
"Whoa, does she think we're gonna starve to death?" Steve comments.
"Well, I'm not complaining" Robin replies as she grabs one sandwich.
I walk back to sit on my spot behind Eddie, who still sits on the floor.
"I missed you" he says to me and I tenderly smile at him, still shy from his affection.
We went on chatting and telling stories about the Upside Down so both Eddie and Argyle, who is surprisingly excited about it asking the most absurd questions. For example he asked if we used actual dog snacks to catch the demo-dogs... he definitely is the funniest addition to the group.
"Okay guys it's getting late, I hate to kick ypu out, but you're parents would kill me" Karen says as she enter the basement.
"Yeah, we better go too. We got a shift at Family video tomorrow morning" Robin explains.
"Alright, let's go then" Jonathan declares standing up and kissing Nancy goodnight.
We all wish Nancy and her parents goodnight before getting into Argyle pizza van.
The first stop is Dustin house.
"Goodnight guys!" He jumps out.
"Goodnight Dusty" I say.
"Oh! Before I forget.." he turns back around pointing his finger at Eddie.
"Oh god..."
"Yeah?" Eddie pays attention.
"She's my sister, Munson. Okay? You hurt her and I'm gonna, personally, shave your hair, then I'm gonna revive one of those bats and cage you in a small closet with it" he seriously tells him.
"Does anyone else want to threaten me?" Eddie asks.
"Well..." Jonathan starts.
"There's a line, dude" Argyle explains.
"You had to be so nice, uh?" Eddie sarcastically says to me, smiling amused.
"It's not my fault. I tried to make them stop" I defend.
"I'm serious, Munson" Dustin repeats.
"I know, Henderson, I know. And trust me, for the millionth time, I have no intention of hurting this lovely lady" Eddie simply says.
"You better" Dustin glares at him before walking to his house.
"Okay, guys, seriously, now stop threatening him, thank you very much." I chuckle.
"Okay"
"Yeah"
"Sorry" Steve mutters.
"Let's go, please" I ask laughing, basically. They're all so sweet, of course, but poor Eddie.
Once we arrive at my house me and Eddie get out of the van.
"Goodnight" Eddie says grabbing his bag.
"Goodnight and thanks for the ride"
"Y/n, one more thing?" Steve calls "Uh... if you hurt him, I'll... uh... hurt you"
Really?
Everyone laughs.
I think he's trying to make Eddie feel really apart of the group, he gave up on his "non-jealousy" and he wants to make him feel included.
"Ooh.. I'm so scared" I sarcastically say, with a chuckle.
I walk back grabbing Eddie's hand and leading him to the house.
"I appreciate the effort though, Harrington!" Eddie yells at him.
"Anytime!" Steve yells back as they drive off.

Oh man these Steddie fics are never going to see the light of day!
I keep starting new scenes with new ideas but I never tidy them up enough to be postable. Instead of working on what I’ve started I keep mapping out more and scenes
Fun but omg, I’m driving myself mad!
Just things like:
Hopper, Dustin and Steve sneaking into Eddie’s hospital room just before he gets formally interviewed by the police about Jason (who goes down for the murders) So Ed, Max and everyone can get their (non monster infested) stories straight. But Eddie has no idea who Hopper is and just see’s this intense, battle hardend guy talking at him while he’s just looking at the two lads like ????!?
Eddie giving Max a ride to school everyday after the summer. They listen to heavy metal super loud. Oh and they find and adopt a cat. He wants to call it Ozzy but Max makes him call it Potato.
The older ones taking a camping trip in late Fall to the lake because Steve needs to SEE that the gate has been closed up, then they all just get high, swim and bond. Argyle is also there, just because. Robin is a chaotic smoker, won’t stop talking.
Eddie throws a special DnD Halloween campaign for the kids as a treat but he accidentally kills Applejack just as Steve and Robin get to the basement with takeout. Chaos ensues as none of the boys know what to do with a rage fueled, yet inconsoluably crying Erica. (They figure out a way to bring her back to life it’s fine). But just imagine Steve and Robin:

Hopper and Joyce recruiting all this kids and especially the older ones to help scrap and eventually rebuild a house on Hopper’s plot of land for Hopper/Joyce collective. Keeping busy with hands is very theraputic. Will corners Eddie making coffee for everyone in the kitchen and asks him out of the blue about being gay and Eddie chokes, coffee flies out of his nose. He thought Will was going to ask him about DnD. I’m not good at summeries.
Steve and Eddie, Will, Max and El and some Helfire club go see Metallica in Indianapolis the follwoing summer. Will crowd surfs, to Steve’s horror. Eddie gets hugged like crazy through Master of Puppets, they camp out in the van, so on.
Joyce unoffically adopting all of them and making them all come around for food at least once a month for some sence of normality. Whoever is able to make it is made to play boardgames, help cook the food, help her plant a garden or watch bad movies, depending on what she’s feeling on the day.
E + S figuring out which parts of each other’s bodies are good touch and bad touch areas. Eddie would rather not acknoledge his scars but overall is happy to have hands anywhere and everywhere. Steve can’t deal with people touching his neck, but eventually is comfortable enough with Eddie to have him trace his hands over the moles there. There’s way more detail in this one but haven’t mapped it out yet.

i get myself twisted in threads
Chapter 15: i tell you that i think i'm falling
Chapters: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16
“Will is staying the night. Jonathan should also stay the night.” Hopper is going to kill him. He’s dead.
“You’re not dating Will, El.” Steve tries to explain. She just thinks that since she’s got someone staying over, he should also have someone staying over.
“El, I have work in the morning.” Jonathan saves him. “I’d have to get up, like, super early and go home and change, so it doesn’t make sense for me to stay the night. Besides, I’m sure you don’t want me interrupting your reading time.”
Steve’s not sure he wants reading time tonight, honestly. Nancy had read them a few chapters of her old copy of Anne of Green Gables—one time, when she’d been sick, Steve had come over and tried to read some of it to her. Since then, they’d taken turns with it, at least until they broke up.
That had been good, but their surprise—it wasn’t the cookies, which were good, and would have been just fine as his surprise.
No, what they gave him, sitting in the car right before they left the park to drop Nancy off for her church dinner, is something he never would have expected them to even know he liked.
Carol’s the only person who's ever known about this. It’s something they shared when before Tommy, and then after Tommy, usually when Tommy was being a dick.
He doesn’t even know how they got some of these. Steve doesn’t want to know how long it took them to collect them all, and then organize them like this for him.
They’d had to make this all by hand. For him, at such short notice.
Steve can’t even figure out how they made the cover so thick, it’s almost like a published cookbook.
Nancy and Jonathan alternated recipes, and there’s a Polaroid of the finished product—he’s pretty sure some of the dishes are Mrs. Henderson’s—in the corner of the final page of each one.
He doesn’t recognize the cursive on the front: Knead for Sweets.
It’s so cheesy, and it’s so nice and well-thought out. He wants to spend the next month going through each recipe, making them until he can get them perfect.
He wants to know how in the world Nancy and Jonathan knew that while he likes cooking just fine, he loves baking. He can’t bake right now—Hopper and El won’t let him, and he could work with the space limitations but he might run out of pots and pans.
He wants to spend the night flipping through the recipes, seeing how many they’d been able to collect.
He’s glad they waited until they got to the car to give it to him; as soon as he realized what they’d done, he’d almost started crying.
It’s just so much effort, and time, to get the whole thing together. To get people to agree to give up family recipes, and then to write them out all, and take pictures of each dish.
“Yes, but you can be part of the reading, too.” El says, staring Jonathan down. “And you can get up early. You can just share the bed with Steve, like Will is sharing mine.”
“El, what are Hopper’s rules about you and Mike?” Jonathan asks.
“We have to leave the door open three inches. He cannot stay the night in my room, even though Will can.”
“What do you think the rules are for me, Nancy, and Steve, since we’re dating?”
“You are older.”
“That doesn’t mean the rules don’t apply. It’s true that some rules don’t apply because we’re older, but those ones do. It’s okay, El, really.”
“Fine.” El glares at Jonathan the whole time he’s leaving, not even looking away like Will does when he kisses Steve goodbye.
“El, that wasn’t very nice.”
“Well, he should want to stay with you! He likes you and he should want to stay here, no matter what Hop says.”
“El, just because he left doesn’t mean he didn’t want to stay.” Will tells her. “Besides, wouldn’t the bed be crowded with four of us? We’ve still got to read our book.”
“It would, but that is okay. We will be fine.”
“Would Steve be fine? He’s still healing.”
“Oh.” El looks at him again. “I am sorry, Steve. But he made you happy today, and I wanted him to stay and make you happy again.”
She’s not wrong about that, but she’s also not supposed to know that.
“El, what did we say about watching me?”
“You did not make any rules for weekends.”
“We’ll do that tomorrow, then. It’s bedtime.”
“It’s like, nine!” Will’s face screws up in the same way Jonathan’s does when he’s protesting. “That’s too early, we’re not little kids!”
“You’re right. You’re babies.”
“Steve!”
But El’s already headed to her room to change, so Will won’t have any ground to stand on much longer.
“Go get ready for bed, kiddo.”
“I’m not a baby!”
“A tall toddler, then.”
“Steeeeve!” It’s a tone he’s much more used to hearing from Dustin, but god it is fun to mess with these kids a little. He can’t be the nice babysitter all the time, he has to keep them on their toes, or they’ll start to think they can boss him around and get whatever they want.
(They can, but he can’t let them know that. They have to figure it out for themselves.)
Steve puts Knead for Sweets away before the kids come in to read. He’s not hiding it, not really, he just wants to keep it nice.
And if he wants to keep the wonder of the whole thing to himself for a while, then that’s for him to know.
finish on ao3 or continue reading
Jonathan can’t pretend he hasn’t noticed that the kids have picked up on the way he, Nancy, and Steve have been acting around each other. Will and El are the only ones they’ve actually told, but there are going to be questions from the others soon enough.
“Hello, Jonathan.” He won’t lie and say it doesn’t make him jump. That’s been one of El’s favorite things lately. Mostly with him and Nancy.
Okay, it’s only with him and Nancy.
“What’s up, El?”
“When are you going to take Steve somewhere again?”
Well, they’re going to a drive-in movie tonight, because Jonathan knows that Steve is still anxious about being seen around town. 
“Tonight, why?” She stares at him for a minute.
“If you make him sad again, you can’t take him places anymore.”
“Make him sad? What do you mean?” Steve hadn’t seemed sad at all after their first date; sure, he’d cried a little when they gave him the cookbook, but he’d said he was happy with it.
“He was upset, after you left.”
“El, what are you telling Jonathan?”
“He is not allowed to make you sad.” El doesn’t look at Steve. He’s walking a little more now, opting only to use his crutches on bad days.
“He didn’t make me sad, El. The recipe book he and Nancy made for me was a really nice and thoughtful thing to do, and it made me happy.”
“But then he left.”
“Yes, he did, but not because he wanted to leave. I was a little sad about that, maybe, but he can’t not go to work.”
“You don’t go to work.”
“I can barely walk, El, of course I don’t go to work.”
And Steve has never needed a job in the way Jonathan has, but that’s not something they need to explain to El right now.
“Where are you going?”
“El, no spying on us.” Steve says. “I know you like to check in, but not tonight, okay? Nancy, Jonathan, and I are trying to have some alone time.”
“Ew.” She crinkles up her nose. “Max says alone time is code for ‘things you don’t want kids to know about.’”
“Not always, but if it makes you stop checking in, then sure.” Steve finally gets over to Jonathan. “What time are we picking Nance up?”
“We’ve got about an hour.”
“So we could surprise her with slushies?”
“Yeah, if you want.”
“Nice.” Kissing Steve isn’t like kissing Nancy, not that he’d expected it to be, but it’s still good. Between the two of them, Jonathan thinks he can learn about the type of kisses that bring people to write so many poems about romantic love.
Still, it doesn’t mean he’s about to start writing poems or anything. He’ll stick with his camera and the darkroom.
He’s got some pictures to show Steve and Nancy today, too. He’d gotten these done as fast as he could, but it’d still taken longer than he would have liked. And he’s still got more to do.
It’s too bad that it’s going to be too dark for pictures at the drive-in. Otherwise, Jonathan could probably get a few good ones.
“Do you know if El has said anything to other kids?”
“About us dating? I don’t think so, but I haven’t asked. Pretty sure Mike would have already thrown a fit about it, he hated me for a while. Pretty sure it’s because he thought I was taking Nancy away from him. What was she saying to you, anyway?”
“I’m pretty sure she was trying to give me a shovel talk, actually.”
“She’s been like that lately.”
“Well, aren’t you and Hopper making plans to move you back to your house?”
“More like fighting over it. I don’t think Hopper wants me going back at all, especially not when I’m on crutches. I’d be fine now, honestly. I can get around well enough and I’ve handled crutches in my house before.”
“What, you don’t want to spend more time with El? What about your story time?”
“I’ll miss it, but I don’t want to keep taking up Hopper’s bed when I really don’t need it. He won’t let me sleep on the couch, though.”
“Mom wouldn’t mind if you spent the night at ours.” Jonathan offers. “And Will won’t tattle, either.”
“I know he won’t.” Steve puts his hand on his knee for a second. “I don’t know. I just… it feels unfair that I get to spend the night with you and Nance doesn’t, you know?”
“She’s not gonna mind, Steve. It’ll happen.” And it’s not like Nancy and Jonathan haven’t spent time alone together since they all started dating, though it’s much easier for them than it is for Jonathan and Steve. “We could ask if it would make you feel better.”
“Yeah, I guess.” Steve’s hand doesn’t move until they stop for slushies, but he doesn’t say anything else, and Jonathan’s left to wonder if maybe Steve’s been feeling left out, or jealous, and what he and Nancy can do to fix that.
“What type of slushie do you want?” He asks, instead of what he wants to say. Jonathan knows Nancy’s—cherry, which always tastes ridiculously sweet to him—and he hasn’t decided what he’s going to get himself yet.
(Blue raspberry. It’s always blue raspberry, even though he pretends he hates it in front of Will.)
“I’ll do cherry cola, I can come in with you, though. And Nance always gets cherry, which is just weird, like who gets just plain cherry? And you’ll probably get blue raspberry or something, which doesn’t even exist. It’s Will’s favorite, though.”
“How did you know that?”
“I take the kids to get slushies sometimes.”
“No, I know that, but how did you know I like blue raspberry?” Will’s old enough now that he’s in on the joke, so that could be it, but Jonathan doesn’t know why Will would be telling Steve about what types of slushies Jonathan likes.
“Wait, did you ask Will? Steve, have you been asking Will what my favorite things are?” Jonathan thinks back to all the times when seemingly random candy bars would show up in his locker or bag, and how Nancy always said it wasn’t her, but it was always on shitty days, so he figured she’d just been hiding it.
“...Maybe.” Steve’s got his good leg pulled up to his face. “I didn’t know how else to talk to you, sometimes. Most of the time, I didn’t have to ask, he’d just say something about it while we were getting other stuff.”
“But you didn’t have to remember it, Steve. You definitely didn’t have to do that.”
“I wanted to, though.”
“We’re telling Nancy about this.”
“No! No, don’t, she’ll never let me live it down.” Steve’s redder than Jonathan’s ever seen him—he was kind of starting to think that the guy just didn’t blush.
“No, I’m telling her. And I think it’s…” Cute? Sweet? What word should he use here? “Nice, that you remembered all that after Will mentioned it.”
“Can we just go get the slushies now?”
“Yeah.” Somehow, it’s not busy—even on cold days, there’s usually high schoolers here getting slushies as an excuse to meet up with their friends.
When Jonathan sees Hagan in the corner, though, it makes more sense.
“Do I have to talk to him?” Steve’s using his crutches while they’re in the store; it’s not icy on the sidewalks right now, but it’s still wet, so it’s a risk they’re not taking.
“No, I can scare him off.”
“You couldn’t scare off a cat, Byers.” Steve snorts. “But you’ll have your hands full, I can’t really help with the slushies.”
“Just ignore him?”
“I can try, if he even comes over.”
Jonathan doesn’t know what Hagan’s deal is these days—he’s come over a few times, to ask what’s up with Steve, but it’s not like he’s been checking every week, or even every month. From what his mom says, Carol has asked her about Steve every time she comes in, which is a lot more than Hagan has done.
“I’ll take one of those.” Hagan doesn’t just grab it off of the counter, or out of Jonathan’s hand, which is really for the best. “Since Steve can’t, and all.” Steve had moved over to the counter to pay, and probably had gotten them candy, too, since Jonathan was filling the slushies and couldn’t protest.
“Thanks.” Jonathan just hopes that he doesn’t ask Steve anything. Steve knows the basics of what they’ve told everyone, but they haven’t had time (or wanted to, really) to go over everything they’ve said.
“He’s doing better, then? Since he’s out with you?”
“I mean, yeah.”
“I don’t know if he’d want to talk to me.”
Then why did you come over? Jonathan wants to snap, but he doesn’t want to get into a fight with Tommy Hagan today. He doesn’t want to get into any fights today. 
“Is he… is he okay, at least? Is he doing okay?”
“Yeah, he has been.” He’d be shocked if Steve wasn’t having nightmares, but it’s not something he’s brought up with Jonathan or Nancy.
“Jon, you ready?” Steve glances their way, not bothering to look at Hagan.
Jonathan gets a little rush of vindication from that. The guy who has been Steve’s best friend for years, and Steve’s looking at Jonathan instead.
“Yeah.”
“Steve—” Hagan starts. “Can we talk?”
“About what?”
“You went missing again, that’s kind of a big deal.”
“So, you want the gossip. No, then.”
“No, Steve! Are you okay? Have you seen anyone? Do you need somewhere to stay? My mom still adores you, you know.” Hagan only gets quieter with each sentence, matching Steve’s pace as he leads them to the car.
“I’m good, Tommy.” Steve pauses to open the door and stash his crutches, sitting down before he speaks again. “Tell your mom I say hi.”
“That’s it?” Hagan hands over the slushie he’s holding; it’s Nancy’s, not that he needs to know that. “That’s all you have to say to me?”
“What else do you want, dude? You were pretty clear that we weren’t friends anymore. Made it real easy for Hargrove to come after me, from what I remember.”
“I shouldn’t have told him that shit, man, come on—”
“No. You shouldn’t have. And as much as I’m sure you regret it now, you haven’t even tried to apologize for that. If you want a lesson on apologizing, go talk to Carol. I’m sure she’ll help you.” Steve shuts the door in Hagan’s face, and Jonathan kind of wants to cheer.
That’s the Steve he remembers from before the Upside Down, the guy who could tear a person apart with his words. He hadn’t done it often, but damn, is it hot to watch when it’s not being used against him.
Even this much, much milder version of it. The one time Jonathan had seen him do it to someone else, he’d torn into the guy’s insecurities like it was nothing in the middle of the hallway.
He’d been a transfer student from the next town over, and he’d had rumors already. He’d gotten caught once trapping freshmen in the bathroom with him, and Steve had apparently decided that was enough.
Jonathan doesn’t know what happened to him after that.
“Was that too much?” Steve asks, as they leave. “Like, he’s still watching us as we leave.”
“Steve, I don’t know what he told Hargrove, but I’m betting what you said wasn’t enough.”
“I used to be a lot meaner, with a lot less guilt about it.”
“Well, you did grow up with Hagan. And I don’t think you were ever that mean, actually.”
“Jonathan, I smashed your camera. I let Tommy and Carol say and do shit they shouldn’t have gotten away with. Even if I wasn’t doing it myself, I should have stopped them.”
“And you apologized for that, or tried to, like immediately. And you were trying to protect Nancy, it’s not like you broke it because I was taking pictures of trees. That’d be different.” Does Steve still feel bad about that? Jonathan figured they’d been done with that a long time ago. “And come on, Hagan turned on you enough that he was telling Hargrove your secrets, what would have happened if you had stopped them?”
“I don’t know. I don’t want to think about him anymore, though. If I do, it’ll just ruin the whole night.”
“Then we won’t. We can tease Nancy about her terrible choice in slushie flavors, and I can tell her all about how you memorized my favorite candies already.”
“No! You said you wouldn’t!”
“I never said that, you assumed I agreed.” Jonathan winks at him as he pulls into Nancy’s driveway. He doesn’t get a chance to even open his door before Nancy’s halfway to the car.
“Let’s go before my mom decides to chase me. She’s not very happy about the cookies last weekend.”
“Just the cookies, huh?”
“Don’t you start, Steve.” She relaxes a little once she’s in the car, though. “I get the backseat all to myself?”
“Yeah, it’s cause I didn’t want to be near your disgusting all-cherry slushie.” Steve tells her.
“And you got trail mix cause you just love raisins, right?” Jonathan can tell from her tone that Nancy thinks she’s won. She’s probably right, because he’s about to give her a lot more ammo.
“What else is in that bag, Nance?”
“Oh, you let Jonathan pick out his favorites, too!”
“No, Steve got all the snacks while I was filling the slushies. And I’ve never told him any of my favorites.”
“Steve! How long have you been paying that much attention to Jonathan, hmm?” Nancy leans forward between their seats.
Jonathan doesn’t poke fun at them at the same rate they do each other, or even him, but he has to admit that the car ride is a lot more fun this way.

Happy Holidays @willow-lark ! I'm your byler secret santa! I hope you enjoy the fic! D&D is usually outside of my comfort-zone but I had a lot of fun writing this!
- Also posting to AO3!
-
“Don’t move, you self-sacrificial moron,” a familiar voice snaps.
Paladin Mike blinks his way back into consciousness, aware of nothing other than that voice, and the searing pain in his abdomen. He lets out a hiss and goes to touch it, but a hand smacks him away.
“Do not undo my hard work, Michael, I swear to Apollo and all of the gods.”
“Why’re you bein’ mean to me, Wise?” he mumbles. His lips feel numb and it’s a struggle to open his eyes to glare balefully at his friend (more-than-friend? He’s still unsure, what with all the unsaid tension they’ve been having lately). Will glares back twice as harshly. His face is blotchy from crying. 
“Because you’re an idiot who used Divine Allegiance to take a hit that I would have survived.”
It takes Mike a long moment to remember what Will’s talking about.
They’d been fighting…a Bearded Devil and Mike had suddenly turned to see Will on his knees, struggling to move, to reach his staff. Terror and desperation had Mike’s body moving without thinking. He’d cast Devine Allegiance, calling out for Apollo.
Apollo had sent the assistance, of course. He thinks the god might care about Will almost as much as Mike does. More than he cares about Mike, anyway.
(The feeling is mutual.)
“I won’t apologize for doing it,” Mike murmurs. “But I am sorry to make you worry.”
Will huffs and doesn’t say anything. Instead, he silently continues tending to the mess that is Mike’s torso. It makes Mike slightly queasy to see, so he looks away. 
Instead, his eyes drift over the makeshift camp. It’d been clearly set up in a hurry, just after the fight, likely aided by Lady El’s magic to streamline the process. But the Party is staying clear of the ramshackle first aid area that Will has commandeered. They know full well, at this point, to leave him be if he’s healing someone. (Dustin still has the bite marks.) The Cleric doesn’t appreciate unnecessary interruptions.
Lucas, sitting by the campfire, seems to feel Mike’s eyes on him. He looks up, giving Mike a relieved smile. His eyes flick up to Will and then back to Mike, and he shrugs—as though to say, you’ve made this bed, now you have to lay in it. Then he gets up to join Dustin at the river. 
Mike sighs and turns his eyes back to watch Will work. 
He carefully keeps an eye on the man, rather than what he’s working on. The sweet brush of Will’s magic belays the way he’s been glaring. Mike’s always loved the way Will’s healing magic feels—like a warm hug, or a cup of hot tea from Will’s mother. Even before they swore allegiance to Apollo and the Light, Will has always been warm.
The year he was gone was the coldest time of Mike’s life—even the always warm presence of Apollo seemed farther away and cooler. Life felt perpetually overcast until Will was saved. Until he had his Cleric held in his arms—safe and alive.
There’s a tension in the air as Will works. Mike wants to reach up and smooth the furrow away from his brow, but he doesn’t dare. It’s rare that Will gets this way, but he’s…protective. And sometimes that need to protect translates into anger.
Finally, Will speaks, quiet but still upset. “What I don’t understand is why? You’ve never treated me as though I cannot take care of myself. You had to have known I could take the hit.”
Oh.
Mike hadn’t been sure, is the thing. All he’d known, heart beating a tattoo into his throat, was that Will was on the ground—with that damn Bearded Devil above him, about to strike down. And he’d thought, not again, please not again. Mike had cast the spell before he finished his next breath. He’d called out to Lucas just before it’d taken effect, asking him to take charge. He’d taken one last glimpse into Will’s horrified eyes.
Then blinding, horrific pain, and the blank, blissful nothingness of being unconscious.
He tries his best to explain this, before reaching up to grasp Will’s hand. The warm weight and shape of his fingers is as familiar as Mike’s own. “The night…the night Vecna spirited you away…I wasn’t watching out for you.” He stares up into Will’s forest floor eyes. “T’was my fault I—we lost you. Can’t lose you again, Wise.”
“I—” The words stop Will’s argumentative voice in its tracks. His eyes finally soften, the furrow in his brow leaves, and he squeezes Mike’s hand. “I’ve told you before, that wasn’t your fault. And you’re not going to lose me, Mike. We’ll defeat Vecna and make Hawks a safer place to live.”
“Maybe we could finally retire,” Mike hums, closing his eyes to imagine it. Returning to their village, heroes. No longer having to fight every day. Not waking up footsore and weary from whatever battle they’d had the previous night. Helping Will in whatever clinic he’s bound to set up. And maybe…returning home to the same house, the same table, the same bed as his Cleric. Will being the last thing he sees when he closes his eyes for the night, and the first sight in the morning. Oh, what a dream that would be. “We could go back home and help your mother with her farm.”
“You’re crazy,” Will whispers, with an oddly choked laugh. “You’d get bored within a fortnight.”
“Mm, well, crazy together, right? Bored with you, doesn’t sound so bad.”
“Yes, Mike. Crazy together.” There’s a warm splash on Mike’s cheek. When he reopens his eyes, Will’s have welled up with tears, but he’s smiling.  “But to get to that day, you have to be alive. Which means you need to stop making needless sacrifices. I can’t bear to lose you either, Mike.”
“Alright, Wise. I’ll do my best,” Mike mumbles sincerely. He’s gratified at the sweet smile he’s gifted.
And then he feels himself blush, as Will leans down and brushes the faintest kiss to the apple of Mike’s cheek. “Get some rest, hero,” he murmurs, stroking his fingers through Mike’s hair. Will goes back to humming his healing incantation, as Mike drifts back to sleep.

I have no idea why tf, or for what tf, or who tf I even wrote this for besides it came to me and I don’t know what else to do with it but share bc like I think it’s kinda funny and like gifs. So, yeah, here’s a thing sksksksks a drabble? as the real fanfic writers say??
| Only good for a good time |
Character/Pairing: Isabella Bautista (heavily implied Isabella Bautista x Enedina Arellano Félix)
Word count: smol ~850
✷ TWs: the general stupidity of men none ✷
Because a pretty face, dirt poor from Culiacan, can only possibly be good for one thing, right? If Isabella Bautista had like a lifestyle guru blog or a Wordpress diary or was like some kind of YouTube vlogger and/or Instagram influencer or god forbid, had a Tumblr, I feel like this would be an entry?? Regardless of the exact avenue, she is out here, screaming into the void of the internet about how her almost bestie and the rest of the world did her so beyond dirty and questioning what it means to be so damn sexy all the time. (You think I'm joking ... I promise you, this might actually be that shallow.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was almost like every breakup I’d ever had. A pat on the ass, a “thanks for your time” and “be on your way.” Actually it was worse, because none of the dirtbags I ever dated had left a check to add insult to injury. Another thing this one had that those breakups didn’t? The worst part? The absolute and complete cherry on top of this shit sundae?
Tumblr media
I didn’t. fucking. see it. coming.
In hindsight, I probably should have. I’d never worked with another woman before, so I kinda just chalked it up to that. Less dicks and egos to dance around and deal with. But if I think about it now, there were always three operating in the background, after hours, and things were going too well, working too smoothly, had too few headaches, too few fires to put out. That should’ve tipped me off. Because life is never so kind. I mean, they say you can’t have it all, right? I never used to believe that but I’m beginning to. Because a pretty face, dirt poor from Culiacan, can only possibly be good for one thing, right?
And yeah, I do like to have a good time, if your idea of a good time is watching endless reruns of El Derecho de Nacer with a seventy pound German shepherd, drooling, half-asleep in your lap. I guess I don't mind dancing either, but that always depends on the company you're with. (If you're ever in Colombia, I've got a number for este chulito viejito who ruined dancing for me because it's just not the same without him ...
Tumblr media
... he made that much of an impression.) But people are always projecting things onto me based on my looks. Which isn’t actually my problem … but is still somehow my problem.
So, it’s a question I ask myself often. Is it worth it to be beautiful? And now, don’t even start because I already know what you’re thinking like qué debo ser tan loca, sí? Oh poor linda, bonita, chulita, fresita. How life must be so terrible and hard for you. Cry me a river, pendeja. Ya cállate alashingada pues and smile.
And look, I get it. It sounds nuts to be asking that question porque por supuesto que sí, que ser linda, lo vale la pena.
Tumblr media
And you’re right. The answer to that question is "yes" ... in some ways. I mean, sure, it may have gotten me out of a ticket, paying a fine or two. And well, yeah, actually come to think of it, I’ve never paid for a drink in my life.
It’s also part of, but definitely not all (not even close) of what got me out of Sinaloa and onto bigger things. Tijuana, Colombia, beyond.
Tumblr media
Because people are nicer to you if you’re pretty. They tend to give you things when you ask (for the right ones) nicely.
But (and there’s always one of those) when I replay every single leer, every joke some sleazeball cracked about how “Colombians love a girl with a fat ass,” every pair of hungry, beady eyes behind sunglasses slid down the bridges of their noses. When I replay all of that? Yeah. I wish wasn’t. Or at least, not in the way I am.
See, because as much as I admire and respect her, the most annoying thing about Di— scratch that. One of the most annoying things about Dina is that she’s beautiful too. Noticeably so. I mean hey, I certainly noticed. Hell, I wouldn’t have passed up the opportunity had we not been in business together. He probably thinks he taught me so much, but Miguel was right about one thing: business in lust or love is a Bad Idea. (Well that, aaaand had she not been so busy making eyes at that Snack of a sicario working for them, whose name I can never remember.)
Tumblr media
(And really …. I can't blame her.)
Tumblr media
(… Or him, for that matter.)
So yeah, she’s beautiful. And yet, still, somehow people always seem to take her seriously. And okay yes, she’s someone who does naturally command respect, sure. But hey! Newsflash! We’re not that fucking different!
Tumblr media
How do you think we worked together so well in the first place?
I guess, maybe it’s that she’s beautiful in a way that’s honest and doesn’t make too much noise. Frankly, for the longest time, I always thought it was because of how she dressed, like in those unflattering, oversized tiger sweaters. And good god, that 80-year-old librarian’s polka-dotted suit jacket, the one that made her look like a kooky preschool teacher …
Tumblr media
If preschool teachers came customized with a mouth that savage. (I don’t think they do.)
But that theory went right out the window. Because when I did that, no matter how hard I tried to make myself look hard, they still all saw the same thing. One Thing. (Except the One Person I might’ve actually wanted to see the One Thing. Then again, what’s that saying? Don’t shit where you eat? As I said, bad for business. Although, now that I think about it, maybe I should’ve thrown caution to the wind since the whole thing went to shit anyway. Oh well. Así es la vida.)
Oh, I’m not even gonna bother spelling it out for you. Don’t ask questions you already know the answer to. And you do already know what it is. Because it’s the One Thing you see too, isn’t it? I mean, isn’t it what you all came for in the first place?

Written for you,
Tumblr media
Hey how have you been doing? I won't bother asking how you feel after what happened, I'm sorry if it felt like I was putting my work first before you.
My first priorities may look like it's my job but it's you! though it doesn't seem that way, you're more important to me than anything else.
I'm sorry I made you feel that way all those days ago and remained completely clueless as to why you were acting so differently, I'm sorry okay?
A letter like this isn't the best way to apologize so I hope you and me could talk something out sometime soon?
thoma,

After #32-Days-of-No-Contact
Writing is my tool to heal my overwhelming thoughts, and it helps me to get all of my ideas so I can track myself whenever I'm repeating the same feelings and thoughts.
Tumblr media
So, what do we have here now? Just documenting my healing journey. and why am I making this public? because why not.. also who would really check this blog anyway!
So, someone entered my life in June 2018, and after about a year of knowing each other, we were in a relationship. it was a bit on and off because how I was always fighting over his lifestyle, and how he used to be cold sometimes, but overall he was being nice to me and treated me well.
In September 2020, I started college it was my first time getting out of a very bad place in my life, and it was my first time to actually start what I really love and make an effort for (Filmmaking), at that time we were fighting a lot and I started to question "what if?" and started to be unsure of being in a committed relationship. so, we broke up.
In February 2023, on my birthday.. we met again. and after almost 10 days we got back together, after 42 days we broke up because I was super ready to settle down and have him for life, and he was not ready for that, I freaked him out lol and he said that "I don't want to be in a relationship right now."
It's been now 32 days since our last day together, and looking back at the beginning of it.. yeah I am doing much much better!
In the beginning, I received the most mixed signals I ever received in my life, it was like sometimes it's someone who is ADORING you and wanna marry you and sometimes he is someone who is sure of nothing and wants to explore more and can't stand being next to you, tbh? that gave me a hard time and lots lots of crying but unexpectedly after 30 days of grieving, crying, anger, and jealousy... all become better, I think I am doing better now and accepting the idea of him not being in my life.
What made me really move on?
1- Writingwritingwritingwriting!
It starts with an open note on my phone with the title: "To My Ex... Messages are not meant to be sent" - but it got sent hahaha. I wrote in from April 3rd to April 7th, not too many days right? well, I wrote 22 pages :) ... it got everything, missing him, wanting him back, jealousy, asking him back, a prestigious way of begging him to come back haha, talking about old messages, talking about us before me going to the college, Quotes (YES), Sad Song Lyrics (YES)... I wrote literally everything in those few days, then it felt like oh it's actually kind of hard work you gotta send it to him so I did and asked him not to reply to anything in it and he didn't thankfully, now I look back to that relationship and I feel super happy and super proud of saying everything, every little thing was on my mind to him, and I tried everything to make it work... SO I AM GOOD!
Tumblr media
2- Modern Family
Yes, that show helped me a lot going through a hard time, I'm right now in the seventh season of it, and totally worth it.. stick always to that simple rule: If you are sad, go watch comedy.
Tumblr media
3- Ali El Haggar
He is my favorite singer, and he is the one I love the most, and he was my first live concert to go to, and that artist got some really GREAT SONGS, my favorite at that time was: في قلب الليل
4- I got the closure I wanted
After him telling me that he doesn't want a relationship, we met after that a few times maybe four times or something, and I talked about it all, I was super expressive (thanks to my therapy sessions) I told him that he could be an avoidant and that he just fears the closeness and I suggested therapy, I suggested to make the relationship different to suit him more blah blah, and listened to him more and more till his words made sense to me.
5- Nagui
my 3-month-old kitten, Nagui was born on February 7 that's making us twins! I've always wanted a pet and my mother would keep refusing, when she knew we broke up she agreed that I can finally get a pet. I remember not leaving the house because of him, he is my baby and will always be.
Tumblr media
6- Therapy
Well, If I am talking about therapy a couple of months ago I'd just say how it completely changed my whole life, but in this journey... welllllll it didn't do much, all it did was resist texting him back knowing that i have a session by the end of the week that would make me realize how bad this is, and would calm me down.
7- Friends
Well, my closest friend ironically let me down, he wasn't there for me through this journey which was really painful, it was a real loss, I lost someone I deeply love since 2019, someone I shared with him a lot that I couldn't imagine myself sharing that with anyone else, and I believe that loss could feel like death... it is serious and it is painful!
but another friend of mine came out of nowhere, and she did help me go through this.. so yeah life is unexpecting all the time.
It is getting better, and no matter how devasting this is, know and make sure that it will pass, and if didn't you will survive.
I might never lose the love for him, I might not find love again. but I am okay and I am doing better day by day.
I look at myself in this picture after daying of consistently crying, and I can see that I am doing better, and I never imagined that I would actually be better in just 30 days. miracles happen!
Tumblr media
Later On...

Late Morning (Hassan x Reader, 18+)
Tumblr media
Author’s Note: I do my best to keep YN very neutral, so all can be included, but reader: you’re wearing overalls. You look adorable.
You had met Hassan el-Shabbaz some months before, when he had to ‘bring you in’ for decorating the side of your house with a mural. Bev Keane insisted it would “lower property value”, and it was “nothing more than graffiti”, and you had the sneaking suspicion that the sheriff only put you in his car so he could drive the two of you away from Crockett’s most popular resident.
You didn’t mean to cry, but it was frustrating. Coming home to Crockett hadn’t been your first choice, and you were just trying to make the house yours, instead of a house that belongs to dead family.
“So, you like poppies?” The man rumbles. Bev Keane had been so loud and belligerent you didn’t get the new Sheriff’s name. You were too busy stewing to notice.
“What?”
“You had poppies on the side of your house.” You did. And you worked hard on them. If your mother was here, she’d tell you what you already knew. Bev Keane was jealous. Instead of respecting the “gifts” the Lord gave her, she had to step on one of yours.
“Yeah I do.” You reply, wondering where he was going with this. The last cop on the island barely knew what grass was.
“I think that’s a great plant. I’m partial to marigolds myself.” You smile, you just can’t help it.
“Oh?” Tell me more.
“When my son was young, he was certain that marigolds were pom poms for fairies.” You could picture a toddler, who looks like the Sheriff, running around in a field. It was such a clear picture, it was alarming.
“Fairies?” You ask, not having thought of them in a long while.
“Yes, he’ll be mad that I told you that, but I think you can keep a secret.” You cock your head, and he doesn’t elaborate.
“Your son believes in fairies.” You state.
“I let him watch Fairytopia one time and it changed his life.” His flat tone made you giggle, and you swear he smiles back at you in the rearview mirror.
Your heart can’t help but sink a little as the two of you pull up to the general store. Were you really this starved for attention? You shift in your seat, unsure of what to do next.
“Come on, I'm sure Annie’s made coffee.”
“So I'm not under arrest?” You ask, and he scoffs.
“I think I'll let you off with a warning.” says Hassan, as he comes around and opens the door for you.
You spend the rest of the morning talking color palettes with Annie as the Sheriff catches up on paperwork, of course it begins with a quick sidebar.
👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨
His name is Hassan, his son’s name is Ali, and he’s from Harlem, New York City. You didn’t ask why he ended up out here in Crockett, because it didn’t matter. Crockett’s ecosystem didn’t care, all you knew is that intruders were quickly torn apart.
And you decide to be his friend.
To the uneducated eye, someone would see you and Bev Keane conversing, as normal. But to someone who had any idea of the people you and Bev are, would quickly walk the other way.
If she addressed Hassan, there you were, right by his side. The town would talk, and you’d tell them the truth- you decided to be Hassan’s friend, and it was nothing more than that. The two of you never discussed anything formally, because Hassan wasn’t a fool.
He noticed how you raised your hackles whenever Bev came near. He noticed that you stuck with him and Ali during any town gathering. He could tell you that he’s got it handled, but he doesn’t.
It's nice to have someone on his side. That’s what friends do. Just friends.
He wants it to go both ways, so he helps you with your revised project.
“You're not going to tear down a wall are you? I don’t know about architecture but walls … are important.”
“No, nothing like that! Maybe just a bit of color.” Hassan wants to look down at his shoes, but he doesn’t.
“Maybe blue?” He suggests, tapping at a color swatch that matches his denim jacket a little too well. Your cheeks are heating up, and you’re still his friend.
You kept Hassan company with idle chatter and a warm smile, and he’s grateful. That’s all it could be for either of you and that had to be alright for now.
👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨
An important part of this friendship caves. Ali.
You’d hung out with Ali, listened to him talk about the video games he was playing, and the books he was reading. He was a sweet boy, and more like his Dad than he could see just yet.
And those stupid little pricks down at the high school were calling him Aladdin.
When Hassan called you at 11pm that evening, the tension in his voice made something inside of you burn. It didn’t quite hurt, but it was close. Ali apparently had come home bawling his eyes out because he couldn’t keep it in anymore. He was beyond anxious, and Hassan spoke like he’d been waiting for this to happen, like the other shoe just dropped.
You distract him with idle chatter, as you’re known to do, and on the other end of the call, he smiles.
“Coffee tomorrow?” You ask, eyelids getting heavy. He’s been to your house quite a few times, but he’s never seen your bedroom. It’s stupid, but he’s sitting in his living room, wondering what color your sheets are, as friends do.
“I’ll be there.” He replies, the weight of things unsaid getting too much to bear. If Ali couldn’t keep the facade up, he shouldn’t either. Things had to be different between the two of them.
“I’m glad you called me.”
“Who else?”
👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨👑☀️🏨
(@hecuba-of-troy came thru with this section, big love for her <3)
“Aladdin.” You say softly, noting exactly how big Hassan looks in your doorway.
You get a rough sigh, “Yeah.”
“I’m so sorry.” What else was there even to say?
“Me too.” You step away so he can come through your threshold. You’d just washed his mug, and spent too long wondering how Hassan had a coffee mug at your house.
“I have a truck, their bikes can be on the bottom of the ocean in twenty minutes.” You offer. You could probably guess which kids were saying this shit to Ali, and the fact they would face zero consequences at home.
“No.” He almost growls, sitting in his chair, running a hand over his face.
“They can’t say shit like that it’s-” He cuts you off by taking your hand. If Farrah was here, she would have handled this the very first day they landed.
“Please don’t plan a crime on the Sheriff’s behalf.” You can’t help but snort at the sentence.
“Okay, cheetos or brownie brittle?” You offer one snack in each hand. Halal snacks were hard to come by on an island, but you always seemed to have them whenever he stopped by.
“I’ll take the brownie thing.” He grumbles, and you put the bag down right next to his cup that had a hand-drawn new york city skyline etched into it.
“Have you heard about this new Priest? I heard Bev’s thirsty.” Hassan blinks, grateful that he didn’t have to dive right into his woes.
“Wait don’t priests not…” Hassan trails off, not knowing enough about Catholicism to finish the sentence. In a way you envied him. That religion soaked it’s way into the island's DNA and it was more than unnerving.
“They sure don’t. That makes it even sadder.” The new priest seemed fine enough, but pushing back against Bev would be a task he wouldn’t be ready for.
But Hassan’s not quite with you anymore.
“Was this a mistake?” he asks, suddenly, leaving your chatter behind. The air suddenly seems colder than it did before, as the weight of what you both carry breaks you both down.
“What?”
“Coming here, was this a mistake?” He repeats, as your stomach drops. This was the thing you spoke to friends about? Life choices?
“To Crockett, or my house?” You ask, wanting to be clear. Your nerves were attempting to get the best of you, but you refused to let them.
“No it’s never a mistake coming over here, you’re here.” He freezes when he realizes what he’s said.
“Oh.”
So he must have meant the island then. You couldn’t stand Crockett, same as him, but all of his time here couldn’t be a total waste.
“Hassan, I want to try something.” You ask, looking down into your coffee cup. A breeze carries through the open windows, but you don’t feel the chill in the air. You’re perfectly fine.
“Try what?” He asks, putting his cup on the table. His face is unreadable, and you want to ask how many years it took for him to perfect that.
“Just stay there,” you command, and Hassan has the nerve to smirk as you drag your chair closer to him, “and quit looking at me!”
“Yes, ma’am.” He closes his eyes and a spark of frustration lights in your chest. How dare he come into your home, and just…be like this! Having the sheriff as a friend was frustrating and rewarding, and something had to give. You lean down, and give way.
It’s soft, brushing your lips to his. You hear Hassan inhale sharply when you pull away, big dark eyes blinking at you.
You try to copy his poised expression from earlier, and it fails.
“Can I try something?” He asks, not giving you a hint. You nod ‘yes’ and he brings a hand to cover your eyes. If you had been a little bit braver, you’d think about how warm his hands were, but you’re too distracted by the soft touch of his mouth, the scratch of his beard to notice.
He pulls away.
“Alright?”
You blink at him, resisting the urge to scoff. If there was a moment for you to laugh off this whole exchange, it could be now. Hassan could go home to his son (who had the day off, and was hanging out at home), and just let this be an awkward blip in your companionship. The thing was, neither of you wanted that.
And that’s exactly why, when hassan pulls you into his lap, you let him. When he gets brave, and puts a hand under your skirt, tracing up your leg to grab your ass, harsh grip making you whine into his mouth.
It had to be a trap, didn’t it? You whine into his mouth, and he pins you against a wall in your kitchen at an insane speed. Or maybe you were just feeling fuzzy and slow, he did have that effect on you.
“Tell me, are you this wet because of me?” You shiver in his grip, his forehead dipping to yours.
“Yes.”
“Are you always like this when I’m around?” There was an edge in Hassan’s voice that you didn’t recognize, but you liked it. It made your hair stand on end, but it had to be good right? It’s Hassan.
“Yes. Don’t make fun of me.” You scowl at him, face inches from yours. This wasn’t too far from your usual dynamic,
“I wouldn’t dare.” He nuzzles against your neck, only for a moment, as your heart pounds. You give him a little tilt of the head, and he gives one right back. Hassan’s far away for a moment, thinking about all the explicit thoughts he’d chosen to put down when he was around you.
He could put you on your knees, and fuck your face proper. That would be more for him, if he was being honest.
He could take you to bed and fuck you to sleep if you wanted, your melatonin hadn’t been working anyway. He’d fuck you awake too if you wanted.
Or maybe he’d take the lightest touch possible, and tease you until you were begging.mess. Something about you disheveled made him warm inside his skin.
Fuck, if you wanted, he’d bring out the handcuffs and shove your face down over any counter, if that’s how you like things.
Hassan’s hands dig into you as he pushes into you, slowly, carefully. He tries to soothe you with ‘shh, it’s alright.” But he still muffles your mouth with his.
You flutter around his intrusion and he’s sure he’s going to pass away. Your velvet pussy kept him safe inside, and you were both all the better for it.
If it was possible to get drunk on the sound of squelching and his low growls, you were gone. ‘It's lovely to be this full,” you think, but the thought is lost when he runs a hand down to play between your legs.
Hassan’s thinking about what a good feeling it is to turn someone’s mind off. You, one of the smartest women he’d known, were completely hollow behind the eyes, letting them wander with each roll of his hips.
Perfect little doll, aren’t you?
How pathetic, how lovely you must look, almost limp in his arms smiling dreamily as he ruts against you. Hassan will pause occasionally to pull your legs back around his waist, but all you can do now is take the pleasure. Your friend is going to take care of you, like he always does.
Your friend dips a hand down to play with your clit, pushing you off the edge of your orgasm with unparalleled determination. Your back is cold against the wall, but you don’t feel it.
Your friend tells you what a good girl you’re being for him, and it makes you flutter.
Your friend doesn’t let up
Hassan doesn’t release his grip on your hips until you shove your face into his shoulder and start to cry, whimpering as he tortures you as much as he can. He’s still and strong as you wiggle and squirm in your aftershocks, one more harsh thrust, and he follows you.
Your heart pounds in your ears, and you feel Hassan curl around you, humming to himself. You should have done this the very first day you met him, what had the two of you been doing? You give him a dreamy smile.
You’re slick with sweat and sticky from your shared heat, you just can’t seem to move away from him. You're pinned, and you want to stay this way.
A minute passes and slowly, you start to feel as if you have bones again. If you had been a little bit more lucid, you would have asked “what now”, because both of you had finished, and he hadn’t put you down. You weren’t, so you didn’t.
You hang on to him as tight as you can, he does the same.
“Holding back?” he growls, taking your jaw and bringing your mouth back to him. You’re beyond breathless, buzzed, but you manage a “You were too!”
You just get a smirk, as Hassan pushes his face into your neck, “Hmph.”
You hum as he runs his hands over you, feeling every inch of your skin like it’s his. He wants to know you the way he knows himself, and he will.
“Sorry this didn’t really solve your problem.” You murmur, turning to him, he takes your jaw in his hand again.
“Sure made me feel better though.” He hums as you shift in his grasp. How are you so soft?
You pinch his arm, “I should hope so.”

Okay so I heard you also write about dark themes (y/n has a stalker in this request certain parts don’t have to be described it can be as vague as you want it to be)
And I wanted to request a Draken x fem reader in which they broke up because she thinks he still has feelings for Emma and thinks he’s been cheating b/c he’s been really distant from her but in reality he really does love her yes he’s been thinking of Emma but now realizes his mistake, and one night as readers at home her stalker breaks in her house and forces himself on her but she tries to make an escape n call draken not realizing he’s coming over to try n talk with her but he realizes somethings wrong and comes in to save her after seeing her stalker have his way with her all he sees is red and almost kills the guy and when they get to the hospital they rekindle n get back together and draken promises to protect her from now on
Yes I do! Ah, I loved the amount if angst in this request, writing this was fun (I mean, not because of what happens, but because I enjoy writing complex emotions)
Pull Me Down — Draken x Reader
(Tittle inspired in the song How Not To Drown from Chvrches as the song helped me out a lot both lyrics and music wise to set a vibe while writing)
Word Count: 3.1K
Warnings: Non graphic depictions of rape (still somewhat described), stalking, violence, angst.
Tumblr media
How long had it been? The last several days, maybe weeks, have all felt the same, looked the same...Has it been months now? Dull, empty, repetitive, sometimes feeling as if you weren’t awake at all and everything felt like a broken old tape, replaying the same greyscale routine with barely any sound, if anything, an annoying buzz in your ears. Barely any familiar faces remained in your life after you broke up with him. 
But, it was better this way, wasn’t it? Better being alone than being with the wrong people...wasn’t it? You were better off alone. 
Mitsuya had tried talking to you a couple of times. Possibly the only friend you had by this point, as everyone else seemed to fade away from your life as soon as you took him out of the equation. 
“You look skinnier” He pointed out as he held a paper bag in his hand. “Here” He said, stretching his hand, handing you the bag. “You need to eat” 
“What’s this?” You asked, trying to feign a smile as seeing Mitsuya hurt as much as seeing, hear or even think of Draken. After all, he had introduced you to Mitsuya. 
“Bento. I made it myself. Eat up” He said as he gave you a kind and warm smile, however, his eyes looked concerned. You knew he could look beyond your broken mask and see how you were not doing well. 
Barely sleeping, barely eating, you did the minimum effort in your classes in college, and avoided the street where his workshop was, as well as avoiding the places where he and his friends spent the most time in. However, Mitsuya always went out of his way to pay you a visit and check up on you. 
“Thanks…” You purred as you looked into his eyes. “I-I’ll...try…” 
“Hey, I’m worried about you” He said, his voice getting lower. “It’s been two months now...and you still look like shit” 
“Oh, shut up” You hissed annoyed as you crossed your arms. 
“It’s still affecting you” 
“You think?” You barked sarcastically as you raised an eyebrow. 
“Have you even been trying to get up on your feet? Or do you still want to lay at the bottom of your pit of misery?” Mitsuya said, hisnvoice getting slightly colder, as he hated seeing you too comfortable in your little pit of misery.
“Come on Mitsuya, I am...trying…” You growled. 
“Are you, really? I know you still love him, and I know you can’t let go of him…” his stare and voice softened as he saw the way your eyes got teary at his words.
You looked away, as a huge lump soon overtook your throat, making it hard to breath, to speak, even think. 
“What do you suggest I do, then?” Your voice broke at the end, as a few tears escaped your eyes, trying your best to keep your composure. 
“Talk to him” Mitsuya said calmly, as if it was the easiest thing to do. 
“Oh, fuck off” you laughed bitterly as turned around, ready to get back inside your apartment when Mitsuya held your arm gently. 
“I’m serious,” He said, whispering your name in a low voice. “Listen, don’t tell Draken I told you this, but he isn’t doing great either...He’s been overworking himself and avoiding talking about it even more than you are” He explained calmly as you looked at him. “Look, I get the reason why you broke up with him, but, can’t you see you’re still in love with him? Why break up with him if you were head over heels for him? And don’t bring up Emma, you know that’s bullshit” He said, perfectly reading your thoughts. 
“Are you done, Mitsuya?” you whispered, tears finally breaking free and falling down your cheeks as you moved your arm, and he let go of you.
“God, you’re just like him. If you talked about it, trust me, you’d feel even better...Go talk to him, stop being so stubborn” He said, staring at you, as you simply avoided looking at him as more and more tears welled in your eyes, blurring your sigh. 
--
“How did it go?” Mikey asked Mitsuya softly as they both looked at Draken too focused working on a bike. 
“God, for a second I thought it was going to be easier talking to her…” He replied in a low voice, slightly annoyed. 
“Kennchin wants to get back with her,” Mikey said looking at Mitsuya as he nodded softly. 
“Of course he does. She wants to as well, but she’s being stubborn…” Mitsuya said calmly. “Did he say something?”
“I asked him about her, he changed the topic right away, then I asked about Emma, he stayed silent...He still feels somewhat guilty for what happened to her, and apologized to me about ending things with her...He’s over Emma...But as soon as I even mention her name, he closes his fist and his knuckles turn white, he looks away, and changes the topic…He didn’t tell me, but I know he misses her...” Mikey explained as he looked at Draken.
Truth was, neither of them saw Draken like that before he met you. He was the calm, collected and always analyzing guy. He never acted impulsively, relying on his guts alone, he always had a plan. But when it came about you? You were his weakness. He acted without thinking when it came to you, he was spontaneous, and unpredictable. But only when he was with you. 
“Kennchin, Mitsuya’s here…” Mikey said standing up from his seat and walking towards him and the bike. “Let’s go grab lunch, yes?” 
“Almost done…” Draken answered as he was cleaning the pieces he had lying on the ground. 
--
After Draken was done, the three of them headed to a ramen place and had lunch. Mitsuya wanted to bring up the situation but found it hard. He didn’t want to upset Draken, but knew he was hurting as much as you were. Mitsuya’d been torn by the breakup of both his friends. He struggled with having to split his free time and be around both of them, since they both needed a friend more than ever. But he didn't want that to end. Especially Since he knew both sides of the story. And it all looked like a dumb break up that wasn't supposed to happen in the first place. 
“You went to her place earlier, didn’t you?” Draken asked out of the blue. 
“How did you…”
“You smell like her” He said cutting him off. 
Mitsuya looked at his jacket and grabbed the neck of it and smelled the fabric. After he had called you stubborn and that you reminded him of Draken, you broke down crying. He hugged you and you clung to him for your dear life. He looked at Draken as he stared blankly at his food, his hand shaking lightly. 
“Kennchin” Mikey began as he looked at him, noticing the way Draken had his jaw clenched at his eyes looked hollow. 
"You go often to see her, don't you? I can tell when you do...you always end up smelling like her…" 
"I check up on her every now and then...No-nothing happens, though...I just make sure she's fine…" Mitsuya explained, as he realized how bad it looked that he was smelling like her every time he went to see her. 
"I know...she's not like that...and I know you wouldn't mess with her either...I'm not mad at you" He said softly, as Mitsuya noticed what Mikey had said earlier. Draken was gripping his chop sticks too hard, his knuckles white. 
"What are you mad at, then?" Mikey broke the uncomfortable silence.
“I’ll go talk to her” Draken said as he continued eating. 
“A-are you?” Mitsuya stuttered.
“I’m tired of dreaming of her every night, and food always tasting like shit, I'm…" he stopped softly. "Dammit, I miss her…" he said letting go of his chops ticks and spoon and staring blankly at his barely touched ramen. "I really really do…" 
"When will you go talk to her?" Mikey asked. 
"Tonight" 
--
The night was quite cool, but the last days had been a torture with the awful heat. With all of your windows open, you were scrolling through your phone, not doing anything in particular. You looked at the bento boxes piled up messily waiting to be washed and returned to Mitsuya. You dreaded washing the dishes, as you grabbed your cup of coffee and gave it a sip. 
A shadow moving through the window caught your attention as you put your phone down and looked out into the backyard. The darkness swallowed the edge of your backyard, looking creepier than ever before as you wondered if it had been a raccoon or a cat. 
As Draken made his way to your place, he kept going on over what to say to you. He had a pretty vague idea of what to say. But where would he start? An apology? Straight out telling her he misses her? 
His thoughts were cut shirt when his phone began ringing in the pocket of his hoodie. He pulled his phone out, seeing your name shining in the screen. His heart skipped a beat as an unexplained happiness washed over him. He picked up almost immediately. 
"Hey, I was just about to call yo—"
"Ken, please help" A hideous whisper soon made his blood turn cold as your cry for help suddenly made his world spin far too fast for his liking. 
"Whats wrong?" He asked.
You soon broke down crying as he tried comforting you. 
"I'm so, so sorry, I didn't know who else to call...and you're in my speed dial…" you sobbed in a low voice. 
"Y/N, tell me, what's wrong? Are you alright?" He asked, his voice getting lower as his heart was beating strong in his head, almost giving him a headache. 
"Someone broke into my house, Ken. Please, I'm scared" you sobbed as his heart dropped to his stomach at the idea of you being in danger. 
"Shit. Okay, I'll call the police. Don't hang up, I'll be back with you as soon as I contact thr police" 
He soon started working on it. He put you on hold as he called the emergency number and explained the situation. He gave them your address as well as his name out of protocol. Once the person in the other end assured him the police were on his way, he quickly returned to his call with you. 
The horror he felt earlier was nothing compared to what he was about to experience. His heart stopped, his blood froze, he felt paralyzed by the sounds on the other end of the call, as he could only imagine what was happening. 
You were crying and gasping painfully, a rhythmic thud noise going over and over followed by the grunts of a male voice. Commanding you to be quiet and cooperate or else it'll hurt worse. 
Draken's mind went numb, and suddenly, everything he could see was red. He picked up quickly on what was going on, as the biggest feeling of impotence rushed through his body, warming up his blood. And soon, he was sprinting as fast as he could towards your place. 
Draken walked snuck into your backyard, his first instinct to sneak in and beat the shit of the intruder. However, he had no idea what he was about to walk into. 
The backyard door lead to the kitchen and as he stood on the other side of the glass sliding door, he saw it. His heart stopped and suddenly his heart was beating fast, his blood boiling, his stomach turned painfully as his ears began buzzing loudly. 
The way he was forcing on to you. The intruder had you leaning over the table, practically crushing you against it. Your face washed with horror, tears streaming down your eyes as you cried and whimpered useless pleads for him to leave you alone. The aggressive way in which he was pushing, torturing you as his eyes stared hungrily at you like a wild animal. Watching some random guy getting his way with the woman he loved made something in him snap.
Draken's world crumbled down the moment you spotted him from the other side of the door. Your eyes, hopeless, met him. As the pain in your face permeated into his own body
"Help me" you mouthed. 
He didn't hear you, but he could clearly read your lips. In a split of a second his heart was beating hard. 
Without realizing it, he sprinted towards the door, sliding it open and in a swift move, as your attacker looked up, Draken hit him on the neck with his forearm. 
Pushing him to the ground, your stalker fell on his bum as he coughed loudly. Draken didn't waste any time as he kicked him on the crotch and sat on top of him, beating his face over and over. The buzz still loud in his head as he hit him repeatedly. His anger driving him on and on as he couldn't think.
You slid to the floor, breaking down crying as you felt your legs and hips sore. Your mind was blank, as the recent memories kept rushing into your mind as you cried and sobbed, shaking. 
Your eyes slowly scanned the kitchen as they finally landed on Draken. He looked possessed as he kept beating the shit out of your stalker. 
"Ke-Ken…" you sobbed. 
It worked like an automatic button. Draken, upon hearing your voice, stopped at once. He got off your attacker and rushed towards you. He knelt by your side and hugged you tightly. Clinging to him, you cried out loudly. He squeezed you against him, in an attempt to comfort you as he ran his hand through your hair. 
As he pulled back from you, he looked at you. Your clothes torn, your shorts pooled by your ankles. And bruises. Many bruises all over your legs, arms, even your neck. 
Draken's eyes got tearful as seeing you in such a state. It pained him. How could he let something like this happen to you? He took off his hoodie and wrapped it around your shoulders. He kissed your forehead as your breath hitched.
"It's okay, baby" he whispered. "I'm here…" 
"Ple-please don't leave…" you sobbed, your shaky hand tugging on his white shirt as he looked at you. 
"I won't" he reassured you, as red and blue lights blinked from the window. 
The police kicked the door open and quickly spread around the house searching for anyone. Two officers walked inside the kitchen and saw the entire scene.  
--
Draken always hated hospitals. The wide white, silent, and odd smell of the waiting room. He disliked every bit of it. Even more now. As he was desperately waiting for any sign from you. He looked desperately at every doctor and nurse who walked out, hoping that any of you knew anything about you. 
After a nurse walked out, Draken quickly rushed to her side asking her about you. The nursed told him he could go inside and before she could say anything else, he was already in there, as his eyes desperately looked for you. 
He saw a doctor talking to you as you nodded. Your eyes still red, and your stare dissociated as you simply nodded like a broken robot. Draken rushed to your side, as he bowed politely to the doctor. 
"Ah, you're the boyfriend" he doctor said, as your first reaction was to cling to Draken and sob softly. 
Draken hugged you tightly, one of his hands going to your hair. He looked at the doctor without saying anything. 
"None of her injuries are critical. We will be running a few tests over the next few days to make sure she is alright with no STD's his attacker might have. She'll be prescribed a couple of medications for preventing measures only as well as some pain killers" 
Draken nodded as he kissed the top of your head. 
"May I have a word with you, sir?" Draken nodded at the doctor's request.
"I'll go talk to the doctor, love...I'll be back in a bit, yes?" He purred softly as your grip on his clothes tightened and pulled him closer as he tried to break the hug. "Hey, it'll be quick, okay? After I return, I'll stay with you for as long as you want, okay? I won't go anywhere without you…" he purred softly as he kissed your forehead. 
You nodded reluctantly as you let him go. He grabbed one of your hands and kissed her hand before going out of the ER with the doctor. 
"I'm so sorry about what happened" The Doctor began as Draken limited to look at him with a cold stare. "This is a tough situation. Not only on the physical aspect of it. These things take a huge toll in the victim, I suggest you contact a specialist that can help you two deal with what happened…" 
"We will" Draken answered softly as he felt his heart squeezing as the memories of seeing your stalker on top of you. 
"Its not necessary for her to stay over the night. But I'd like to see her tomorrow and three days from now as well, just to make sure everything is well and to keep running tests…" 
Draken nodded as he bowed once more thanking the doctor before heading back inside the ER towards your bed. 
His eyes teared up immediately at the sight of you. He approached you and slowly cupped your face in his big hands and brought you closer, kissing your forehead. 
"I'm so, so sorry, babe" he sobbed and pressed his forehead against yours. "This shouldn't have happened…I wasn't there to protect you" he whispered bitterly, mad at himself even when he, objectively, knew it wasn't his fault. His mind was desperately looking for someone to blame. 
"Ken" you cried softly as you wrapped your arms around him, pulling him closer as he hugged you back. "Please don't leave. I'm scared…" 
"I won't, princess. I'll stay by your side. I'll keep you safe" he said as he pulled back slowly. "Let's go home…" he purred as you shook your head, whimpering.
"I don't want to go back there" you cried. 
"Let's go to my place then…" he whispered, wiping your tears away from your face. "I'm renting a small apartment above the shop...it's not that big but, we can both fit perfectly. I'll make us some dinner, you can take a bath in the meantime, and if you need anything whatsoever, I'll be a couple of steps away from you, okay?" He explained as you looked at him, nodding softly. He smiled, a lump on his throat and tears welling in his eyes as he leaned forward, kissing your forehead. "Lets go then"

Daydreams - Professor!Reid x Student!Reader
CONTENT WARNING: SMUTTY SMUT SMUT, HEAVY PETTING, SPANKING, FINGERING, DEGRADATION, UNPROTECTED SEX, AGE GAP, DADDY KINK
A/N: Holllaay shit. I am absolutely in love with Professor Reid and hate my father, so I couldn’t help myself. This is my first one-shot smut so I hope it doesn’t suck too badly. Enjoy my perversion EL O EL. Anyway, let me know if ya like it! 
Her little bambi eyes lit up in a way I knew I’d never be able to stop thinking about. The parting of her pouty lips made me want to press a big wet kiss on her mouth. But I couldn’t--She was a student. My student. My best student. Her elbows propped her up on the desk, curving her body so that my mind couldn’t go anywhere but daydreams of her in that same position grabbing onto bed sheets and mewling in submission. 
Our relationship didn’t extend past that, I was her teacher and she was my daydream. My latest vice had become mixing memories with self-tortourus fantasies. Fantasies where she sat naked on my lap, whimpering at my touch. I would treat her like she was made of glass and gold, light and then harsh, hot and then cold, loving and only then fucking. 
Today was the last day of the semester, she’d passed with flying colors and I had expected no less. I congratulated the class, but couldn’t help but say a couple extra words. 
“Special congratulations to the top scorer on the final. Miss, Y/N Y/L/N.”
Her eyes widened in excitement and then lowered in a façade of shyness, “Thank you sir.” 
“You went above and beyond this semester.” Her eyes met mine for the longest they ever had, 
“I’m proud of you.” Something about the way her shy smile had turned into a coquettish grin made me swallow hard, but it wasn’t just that look. She knew what she was doing. She always did.
“Class dismissed! Drink responsibly!” I said as the class packed up their things, “And if you’re underage, don’t drink at all!” I sat back down, tired but relieved. However when I saw that little thing prancing to my desk, I had all the energy in the world. 
“Dr. Reid?” she asked. She batted her eyelashes and played with the necklace that adorned her chest.
“Yes, Y/n?” 
“I, uh, thank you. Everybody said freshman year was gonna be tough,” I smiled at her breathy words, she spoke so eloquently. Like an articulate angel. She was an absolute angel. 
“And it was” She laughed, “But your class really made it better. You’re a wonderful professor. I’ve learned so much.” 
Oh, little girl. There’s so much more I could teach you. 
“Thank you. I have a summertime internship opportunity if you’re interested. There’s limited places, and I think you’d be absolutely perfect.” The outspoken girls brief silence confused me, as she shifted in what couldn’t be described as anything but anticipation, “Professor, are you really proud of me?” She spit out. 
I was stunned, “Why wouldn’t I be? You're great.” 
“I’m a tease, sir. That’s not something I expected a man like you to be proud of.” 
I closed my eyes and smiled to open them back up again. This girl was trouble, no question. But this, this was the kind of trouble that was just begging to be punished.
“You think you’re a tease?” 
She nodded. And I indulged. I shouldn’t have and I knew it. But she was a sweet peach, and I was just tall enough to rip her from her stem and consume her like it was the last fruit on earth. “Sweet girl.” I noticed her thighs squeezing together and the blown out black of her pupils. She wanted this just as bad as I did. “C’mere.” I turned my seat away from the desk. 
Like I knew she would, she obeyed and she sat on my lap. Her head immediately fell into my chest and she looked up at me. “You love to learn don’t you?” I asked her. She nodded, and I wanted nothing more than to take her right then. But I’d waited for this moment too long to do it in such haste. “I love to teach.” 
I kissed her neck like the sweet skin was on fire, light and quick but tender and wet. Her breath rose and fell harder each second my calloused hand got closer to the hem of her skirt, a skirt that was a couple inches too short for her own good.  Everything about her was like a pure poison, a tease for no reason. She knew she could’ve had me whenever she wanted, and yet like the coy and clever girl she was, waited. She waited knowing the longer she did, the more my infatuation with her would grow, and all the better the loving would be.  
My hands' slow descent up her skirt ended at the lace trim of her panties, where I traced the band west and east, watching her breath hitch as every time I trailed back slightly closer to her core. When I finally reached her center, dipping my fingers into her panties I was met with exactly what was expected. Soaking wetness and a whine. I couldn’t stop the chuckle that left me if I tried. I adjusted her so she sat perfectly, arms on my shoulders and legs spread, back to the wall and face to me. 
“Hey, sweet girl.” She rocked herself on my fingers, begging for them to just make their way inside. 
“Dr. Reid, ple-” 
I shoved two fingers inside of her more forcefully then I intended to, although the girl didn’t complain. She screamed. How responsive. 
I continued to stroke her insides, dipping my other hand into her skirt so I could use it to rub circles on her crescent. She was a star on the stage of my lap, and my gaze never left the sight of her gorgeous face contorting in desperation as adorable whimpers fell every time my fingers curled.
“Is it everything you imagined?” She asked. I was slightly taken a back, “F-fuck. Is it Daddy?” I slipped another finger in to shut her up but it didn’t work. “You’ve always wanted to, right? Hold me down and fuck me till I cry.” My fingers sped up and her walls clenched around me, clasping and gripping my fingers, and cries left her pouty little mouth. She had just come all over my fingers and was taunting me with my desperation. What the fuck. 
“Is that what you want?” 
“Hmm,” she giggled, “Please.” 
I shoved her off me to bend her over the wood of my desk.
I flipped her skirt up for a better look at the adorable little behind my sweet girl had. 
“Adorable. So adorable.” I slapped it hard, wanting nothing more than to see the red it would leave in its wake. 
A guttural moan left her mouth, “Shit!” 
“Aw, what’s up little girl? Is it not what you imagined? You’ve always wanted it, hm?” I spanked her again, harder. She whimpered slightly, clearly holding back whatever sounds the action were provoking. “Bent over my desk and being hit?” I hit her again, and she screamed this time. “Or did you think I’d just fuck you right away? ��� The room echoed with two sounds, my hand slapping the skin of her ass, and the whine from her that always followed, “Hm? I didn’t hear you sweet pea.” I hit her twice then, as she finally submitted, “Daddy, please!” 
“What’d you want babe?”
“Please, fuck me.” 
I dragged the tiny piece of cotton that had now been soaked off her, preparing to gag her with them. 
“You being loud is not gonna cost me my career.” 
“Wait!” I stopped in my tracks, 
“I’m on the pill. Just so you know.” 
I smiled, “Okay.” Shoving the panties in her cute little mouth as she nodded eagerly in understanding. 
I unzipped my pants, finally freeing myself from the tightness that had me painfully strained. 
I gently made my way so my tip was at her entrance, as she wiggled into me, 
“Desperate little slut.” She moaned against her own fabric. 
I grabbed her by the waist to shove her into me, my cock hitting the back of her walls as she cried, I couldn’t fathom the pleasure that every nerve in my body was feeling. “You’re so tight. So wet..” I pounded into her with all the strength I had in the world. Each thrust eliciting a muffled moan or whimper or sob that just urged me to go in again harder. I grabbed and pushed her propped elbows down, so I had a hand on the back of  her neck, holding her down exactly like she said I wanted to. She was right. I did. “This is what we both wanted, huh?” 
“Little girl” I started, my thrusts into her beginning to get sloppier as her cries got louder, my voice was coarse, “Pretty little girl. You like this?” Between messy sobs of pleasure, she got out a pathetic little mewl of “Yes.” I snaked a hand around to pull her up and look her in the eyes and press a sweet kiss to her forehead before ripping the panties from her mouth and roughly pressing her back down on the desk. “I wanna hear you.” I fucked her with a passion I hadn’t ever in my life.
Her walls gripped me tighter then I thought was possible, and I knew the end was near. “Daddy.” She panted, ‘G’nna c-cum.” I ignored it “Aw. Pretty girl, you can wait for Daddy, can’t you?” 
“No!” she wined, “Please, just let me-Fuck! Daddy,” she sobbed, “Please.” My thrusts were getting rougher, messier, better. “Come.” I ordered. Her walls began to convulse and flutter, physically begging for me to join her. I got faster, fucking her as she came, lost in her pretty moans and gripping pussy. She bounced with my thrusts, sobbing as she said, “Cum, daddy, please.” The rapid pace stopped as those words left her mouth, I came into her as deep as possible, feeling her twitch as my sticky release coated her. Pulling out, I flipped her around to kiss her sweetly. She giggled into the kiss and looked at me in a way I’d remember forever. 
“Thank you, professor.” 
“Yeah little girl, anytime.” I began to help her clean up.
She lit up, “You mean that?” 
I nodded and helped her sit up, “Oh, yeah I do.”

— cargo pants
Tumblr media
summary: misinterpretion featuring a line from the wilds, “i’m not a lesbian, sorry to disappoint. i just like storage.”
warning: lil bit of angst but there's fluff, kissing, confident!reader (whoop!), also bi reader for this plot to work out, so sorry if ur purely homo
word count: 1.7k
on a tuesday night you found yourself sitting in a circle playing a game of truth or dare which was suggested by jackson’s very own dysfunctional couple, jesse and dina.
the chatter and laughter of the game continued around you but you were only focused on the redhead who sat across from you in the circle. though the redhead didn’t seem to notice the set of eyes on her as she was in deep thought.
ellie finally looked up when dina called on her to pick truth or dare. she noticed your eyes on her and her cheeks blush pink and sends you an awkward smile.
“uh dare i guess.” ellie says. there was a mischievous glint in dina’s eyes, “i dare you to kiss [y/n].”
the color from ellie’s face drained, instant panic set in. “what? dina, no.” ellie protests, “don’t make it weird.”
before dina could respond to ellie’s protests, you spoke up, “it’s ok i don’t mind.” you say scooting across the circle, sitting right in front of ellie. you felt your insides bubble in excitement but outwardly you appeared aloof, not wanting anyone to see a crack in your confidence.
“you know we don’t have to, if you don’t want to.” the redhead whispers quietly for only you to hear. 
you lean closer to ellie, your lips just a hair away from her ear. this action causes a light blush to creep up on her freckled face. 
“we got this, don’t want them to think we pussy out of things, right?” you say and move away with a grin on your face. 
ellie gives you a shaky smile, trying to calm herself down at how close her crush was to her. you looked at each other, it felt like everything around you two had vanished and it was just the two of them.
your trance was broken by jesse who yelled at you two to “kiss already! we don’t have all damn night!”
you whipped her head around and flipped him off before quickly turning back around and taking ellie's face in your hands and connecting your lips.
the redhead was caught off guard for a split second but then kissed back, melting into it. the kiss was soft, it was just like what ellie had imagined kissing a pretty girl like you. it felt like they were in a trance again, like a veil closing around them giving them all the time in the world to feel each other.
they pulled away as the hoots and hollers of the teens around them grew obnoxiously. ellie’s cheeks grew embarrassingly red at the attention that was put on her.
ellie tuned out the game as it continued on, she was too in her own head thinking about how she just shared a very hot kiss with the girl she’s been crushing on for over two year.
the redhead only perked back up when she heard your name be called out for a turn.
“truth.” you choose. “soooo [y/n]...” dina trails off cheekily.
“yes, dina?” you challenge with a smirk and takes a sip of the terrible beer in your cup. 
“how many girls have you kissed?” the dark haired girl asks.
“one.”
“seriously?!” dina exclaims in disbelief, her eyebrows then furrowed in thought, “does that mean ellie was..?”
“yep, first and only girl i’ve kissed.” you explain, you notice the surprised looks that start to appear on the faces of your peers, “what?” you ask, confused about the change in behavior.
“um, i think we all thought you were gay,” dina says awkwardly.
the dark haired girl then points to your pants, “you wear cargo pants a lot.” she states. you bursts out laughing at the archaic stereotype, “i’m not a lesbian, sorry to disappoint. i just like storage.” 
laughter erupts from the room except from one person, ellie. you notice a frown appear on her face. you made brief eye contact with her in which the ginger gave you a curt smile, of course you could tell it was fake, that there was some pain behind those green eyes. but from what, you weren't sure.
to ellie that kiss felt so real, she thought there was genuine passion behind it. she had thought with that kiss and how flirting you’ve always been with her in the past that you would have reciprocated her feelings. but her heart broke has her reassurance was crumbled by a simple phrase, ‘i’m not a lesbian’
feeling overwhelmed with her emotions and not wanting to bring her bad vibe to the rest of the group, ellie felt it best to leave. she quickly said her goodbyes without sparing a glance at you, using the excuse of having patrol in the morning to leave early.
it immediately dawned on you that maybe ellie had misinterpreted what you had said, maybe the redhead got upset because she thought you didn’t like her back or had a chance with her at all. 
you quickly got up leaving the group without bothering to respond to the people calling out for you, your only priority was to fix this misunderstanding as fast as possible.
“ellie! wait up!” you called out to the redhead a few yards away from you. ellie whipped her head around, a surprised look on her face. 
even with being only slightly illuminated by the moon, you could see the redness and puffiness of ellie’s eyes, the green of them popping out and making it more obvious. your heart immediately sunk at the sight.
“hey are you ok?” you ask softly, your hand reaching up toward her face in concern but ellie moved her head away.
“yeah i’m good. what’s up?” she quickly responded, trying to change the subject. “can i crash at your place tonight? i don’t feel like walking across town this late and this drunk.”
“yeah sure.” ellie says, “how much of that beer did you have anyways?”
“too much, i swear i’m not a lightweight but honest to god i have no idea what seth puts in that beer.” you grin.
a smile cracks on ellie’s face, “no wonder it tasted so awful, it's because seth made it.” she jokes.
“he has his own little asshole recipe.” you joke back, making ellie tilt her head back in laughter. you smile at the fact that you were able to lift the bad spirit from your friend.
you continued to chat and talk shit as you two walked to ellie’s shed. the redhead was glad that even though she’ll never have you as her girlfriend, she could always have you as a best friend.
when you entered the shed you both immediately started getting ready for bed, the long night with your friends had tired you both out immensely. ellie handed you a pair of sweatpants to change into which you did, right in front of her.
ellie remembers the first time you two had a sleepover over two years ago, the redhead got taken by surprise when her crush started stripping in front of her to get in her pajamas with no regard that she was still in the room. she was flustered at seeing the bare skin of the girl she was crushing on.
“what? it's not a big deal, we’re both girls and it's just skin, no need to get weird el.” she remembers you saying to her. eventually ellie just got used to it, taking it as a sign of trust that you would be that vulnerable around her.
ellie changed into her night clothes as well, she watched as you take your bra off without removing your shirt, “you gotta teach me how to do that one day.” the redhead says, it was something you'd always done that had intrigued ellie.
“what, take off my bra?” you tease. ellie’s cheeks blush realizing how her words sounded. “no, i mean like i’ve wanted to know how to do it so i can do it to myself, not you.” she rambles trying to explain herself.
you start to giggle at her response, “what?” ellie says, pouting.
“it's just that you're cute.” ellie feels her heart skip.
you lay down, snuggling into the bed and pat the space next to you, beckoning her over. she lays next to you on her side. neither of you say anything as you stare at each other.
“you want to tell me why you were crying earlier.” you ask, ellie rolls her eyes and shift onto her back, refusing to make eye contact.
“it was nothing.” the redhead mumbles. “ellie i know you, that wasn't nothing, talk to me please.” you plead. ellie chews on her lip nervously, trying to decide whether or not she should confess to you.
“i, uh, shit i don't know how to say this” she starts, turning over to her side to face you, “but i really really like you [y/n], and i have for the past two years and its being eating me up from the inside to see you with other people and not be able to tell you. and i know you just want to be friends because you said that-”
you cut her off by placing your lips on hers. the redhead soon eagerly kissed back, her hands finding their way on your head and your hands to her shoulders. as the kiss progress you both got more desperate to be close, rolling over so that ellie was flat on the bed and you were straddling her waist. ellie’s hands moved to your hips and yours to the sides of her head.
the redhead pulled away from the kiss. “i thought you said you weren’t a lesbian,” she whispers.
“correct.” 
“oh” ellie says as her eyebrows furrowed in annoyance and confusion, “then why’d you kiss me?” she questions, a bit pissed off that her friend was leading her on.
“just because i don’t like girls exclusively doesn’t mean i don’t like them at all.” you grin and lean down, giving ellie a peck on the lips. ellie smiles, realizing that she finally had her chance.
“what does that make us then?” she asks shyly. you smile down at her, “girlfriends, only if you want to.”
“are you kidding? that’s the only thing i’ve wanted for years.” she exclaims and sits up, placing you on her lap and kissing you again.
she pulls away slightly, “i could get used to this.”
“me too.” you whisper and pull her into another kiss.

have some latinenatural for day 1 of @spnprideweek dean trying to come out to himself
Dean didn’t like going down this neighborhood. It never made him any money, plus the block is a dead end, so he always ends up circling back around with his heavy cart. His Tio always yelled at him for it, wasting precious time in a block where nobody paid him any attention because these Americanos aren’t used to people walking around selling comida.
Pero Dean always had one customer that always came running out whenever Dean came around, and he was worth the extra minutes he had to petal in the hot sun.
“Dean!”
Dean hears his name, expecting it but still feeling relief from hearing it. He looks ahead, his fingers stopped ringing the bells that have become background noise to him by now, and sees his favorite customer running out of the big white house Dean can only ever dream of renting. He wouldn’t ever dream of owning; he can’t have dreams so impossible.
Dean petals a little bit faster until he breaks in front of the pretty face he sees at least three times a week.
“Cas.” Dean practically beams at him even though he was trying to stay cool. Smooth. “Mi Angelito.” Dean winks, and he doesn’t miss Cas’s eyes widened and ears blushing at the nickname. “How you been?”
[continue reading under the cut or read on ao3]
Cas was dressed in his usual white button-up and slacks but they looked a lot more ruffled up than usual. His hair looked unkempt as it curled at the ends—Dean wasn’t complaining he loved it—and his typical neat shirt was wrinkled with sleeves pulled up to his elbows. He looked the guy up and down before his eyebrows creased together.
“You okay, Cas?”
“Yeah.” Cas sighed, shoulders slumping as he reached to run his hand through his hair—that probably explains the bed head—before smiling back at Dean with a deep breath. “Yeah. I’m fine.”
“If you say so.” Dean jumps off the bike and walks over to his cart. “The usual?”
“Please.”
Dean nods once before getting to work on a raspado de vainilla for Cas. He works in silence for a minute, just the sound of the ice scraping between them before Dean looks back at Cas.
“You know, si quieres, you can talk to me.” Dean looks up to see Cas was already watching him. “I know I’m a nobody, but I hear nobodies are great to vent to.”
“You aren’t a nobody, Dean.” Cas’s expression softens at the words. His eyes brighten as he looks at Dean, almost as if he can see into his soul. Then, just as Dean was about to drown in those baby blues, Cas looked away. His fingers started to twitch as he looked sheepishly at the ground. “Plus, my problems are small. I can deal with them by myself.”
Dean looks away, packing the ice into the cup before reaching to pour the vainilla as he talks. “Yeah, I know you can, pero; I just wanted to let you know that you don’t have to.”
Cas is nothing but a customer that Dean has been crushing on—it was a small, slow, and scary realization. The only reason they’re on a first-name basis now is because Cas once left his name tag on, and Dean asked what it meant.
Dean handed Cas his raspado across the cart, Dean needed to keep his distance, but he knew when Cas reached for it, their fingers would touch; he looked forward to the simple touch each time.
They did, and Dean’s breath catches in his throat before he works on chicharrones, lots of limon, and a little bit of chile.
“But I get it, you know, if you don’t want to talk to me.” Dean looks up to see Cas still staring at him but with eyes filling with tears. “Holy shit.” Dean put the bag down and walked around to stand by Cas’s side. He grabbed a napkin from his cart and handed it to Cas to wipe his eyes. “Dude. Dude, please no llores. Don’t cry. People are gonna think I did something to you, and I’ll lose customers.” Dean tries to joke, but Cas doesn’t crack a smile. Instead, he rolls his eyes.
“Dean, nobody but me ever comes out here.”
Dean shrugs. “Potential customers then.” Dean grabs another napkin and reaches to wipe the tears that were already falling. “Estas bien, Angelito. Talk to me.”
“I-I shouldn’t.” Cas accepts Dean’s kindness for a second longer before gently moving Dean’s hand away. “You’re working. Let me just pay you so you can stop wasting your time here.”
Dean nods, stepping away from Cas so as not to seem pushy. As much as he loved being so close to Cas’s face, he didn’t want to seem creepy about it. This neighborhood has eyes everywhere, and Dean couldn’t really risk having his cart, his livelihood, be taken away just cause he has a small crush on the white boy.
So Cas gives him the exact change to the quarter and smiles sadly before he waves goodbye. Dean waves back as he gets on his bike to pedal out of this neighborhood and into a more comfortable one. He didn't ring the bell until he was out of there.
Cas doesn’t come out to see him the next day or the day after that, and now he has to wait until next week to see him. If Cas still wanted to see him.
“I don’t know why you still go over there,” Sam says as he helps Dean unpack the car.
Dean’s side gigs included selling his homemade food Friday through Sunday—he can almost call himself a caterer—while on Thursday, he preps during the day and works as a janitor in a big law office at night. Today was Thursday, so Dean had to wake up early to go to the big marketplace downtown. They sold the chicharrones de harina in bulk for cheap, and they had all the ingredients he’ll need to make the syrups for the raspados himself.
Sam rarely comes with Dean to get all these things since he was always busy with school, but today he came along on the day that Dean ran out of maiz azul. It just meant more trabajo para los dos.
“Or why you still sell raspados when you make more money on the weekend with your food.” Sam continued as they struggled to carry the bag of maiz to the kitchen. They both let out a heavy breath when they finally dropped the bag in the kitchen. Dean’s going to spend the next hour cleaning and soaking the damn corn after this. That doesn’t even include cooking it and finally making the damn masa.
“El trabajo es duro but I like it.” Dean pats Sam’s shoulder before they go back to the car to get the rest of the things. “I like going down neighborhoods and saying hi to people.”
“I get that pero why do you have to go to their side of town?”
Dean doesn’t know how to answer that.
He hasn’t told anyone about Cas. About how one day he was bored and wandered over to that neighborhood only to find Cas laying on his front lawn with a book covering his face. Dean, for some reason, couldn’t help but to ring the bells louder, startling Cas. Dean laughed for half a second before a book went flying to his face, knocking him off his bike. Cas learned too many cuss words in Spanish that day, but the big bruise was worth it.
Still, Dean didn’t want to tell anyone about Cas. Afraid to even speak of him because that would mean that his crush was real. That he had actual feelings, romantic ones, for another guy.
He knows que su Tío no lo va sacar de la casa pero todavía Dean tenía miedo. He was scared to admit this part of himself was real when it felt like a sin in his culture. ¡Ser gay es una cosa pero bisexual! ¡Ni madres! That doesn’t exist. Not where he is from.
So he’ll keep it to himself. Keep Cas as his secret fantasy and nothing more.
“The houses are nice to look at. One day, Sammy!” Sam was already groaning at Dean’s words that sounded more like an old man’s recurring ‘when I was your age’ stories. “One day, I’ll get us a house like that! One where we can each have our own room. And bathroom.”
“Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. Let’s just finish this so I can go back to my homework.”
“¡Estas pendejo! After this, you’re gonna help me clean the bathroom and throw away the trash before Tio comes home.”
“But Dean,”
“¡Pero nada! ¡Piensas que soy pendejo como tu, pinche mamón! Don’t think I don’t know you spend that time babeando por tu novia.”
“Dean!” Sam quickly passes him in a huff of embarrassment while Dean laughed, following Sam back to the car to get more groceries.
When Monday rolls around, Dean forces himself to come down Cas’s street again. The bells rang softly at first, only getting louder as he came closer to the house. He didn’t see a car in sight, so he thinks maybe Cas isn’t home.
He was already pedaling away when he heard someone call out to him. He hits the breaks half haphazardly, and the gallons shake on his cart, threatening to fall out. He was about to turn around, but then he realizes he hears footsteps running closer, and then he hears heavy breathing by his ear.
“Fuck.” Cas hands rest on his knees as he tries to catch his breath. “Are you-are you trying to run away from me?” Cas looks up with a teasing smile, it was beautiful, and Dean didn’t realize how much he missed him until now. “I am your only customer around here, so that’s a pretty bad business decision if you ask me.”
“I-I didn’t think you wanted to see me.” Dean could have joked around with him, but instead, his mouth decided to kick the conversation off with some honesty. Dean looked down at the bike handles as he talked. “Since you didn’t come out last week, I just figured-”
“Oh.” Cas stood up straight as he ran a hand through his overgrown hair; his clothes looked neat again, though. “I didn’t mean to make you think-”
Dean holds his hand out to stop Cas from talking, feeling embarrassed with every word. “Para. You don’t have to explain. No me debes-you don’t owe me anything.”
“I know that, but I want to. Talk, I mean. If that’s okay with you.” Cas looks at Dean with soft, warm eyes, a drastic difference from the red-rimmed eyes from the last time they saw each other. “After you’re done with work, of course.”
“I um-I usually head home around six. I can um,” Dean rubbed at the back of his neck, not meeting Cas’s eyes as he carefully says. “I can come by after if you want.”
“I would like that.”
Dean's head shoots up to stare back at Cas, who looked shy, pero siempre más guapo que la última vez que Dean lo miró.
At that moment, Dean wanted to lean in and kiss him more than he has wanted to kiss anyone in his 26 years of life, but he won’t. He still wasn’t sure if this was Cas asking him out as a friend or as something more. He was scared, but he knew his heart raced in excitement more than anything.
Dean finally broke away from the staring contest as he cleared his throat to get off his bike. “Todavia quieres-Do you still want your raspado?”
“Oh. Sure!”
It was silent while Dean made raspado, but he couldn’t wait for their fingers to graze again when he handed the cup over to Cas.
“Just the raspado today.” Dean still loved when Cas said it, trying not to laugh even though he loved Cas’s embarrassed blushing. Cas reaches into his pocket, but Dean reaches to touch his shoulder to stop him.
“On the house.” Dean holds it out and just like before their fingers touch, burning him.
“No, Dean, I couldn’t.”
Dean shakes his head to stop him from arguing any further. He jumped back on his bike and looked back at Cas as he said, “You can get me something later. Is seven okay?”
“Seven is…perfecto.” Cas flinched at his Spanish, but Dean couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Pues, te miro mas tarde, Angelito.” Dean reached to pat Cas’s cheek before he started pedaling away.
“Dean! I don’t know what that means!” Cas calls out to him.
Dean doesn’t turn around to respond, mostly to hide the stupid shit-eating grin he had on his face. “I said I’ll see you later!” But he does wave goodbye, ringing the bell as he goes.
Dean really liked him, and it brought fear into his heart pero al mismo tiempo; he hasn’t been this excited to just be around someone in such a long time. So maybe this is his time to accept that maybe, for sure, he is crushing hard on a guy.
Dean sighs as he stops on the sidewalk to hang his head and quietly whispers, “For fucks sakes, soy un pinche gay.”
Well, at least he can admit to himself—sort of.

DEAREST HEART-Letter Three
Hey curvies, sorry its taken me so long to post this installment, these past two weeks or so have been a bit rough, work, life, and adulting and all. I honestly got in a bit of a funk for a bit too. Luckily, I have people who love me enough to make me leave the house to get fresh air. Well here is the third letter from our lovely Mr. Kal-El, hope you enjoy.
Dark Clark Kent x Plus Size Reader
Warnings: Stalking
A few days had passed and while you hadn't been home, you still got the awful feeling of being watched. Your husband assured you there was no way he could know where you were as your mom lived almost an hour away and you only visited every now and again. The police had been watching your place and hadn't seen anything suspicious, not even a letter had arrived. You were trying to feel a bit of relief, hoping that maybe seeing the police around had warded him off, but the nagging feeling that he was still watching weighed on you heavily.
"Hey sis." Your brother said breaking you out of your prison of thoughts.
"Hey brudda, what ya up to?" You said using one of many nicknames for him.
"Lets take a walk, get you some fresh air, and clear your head." He said holding out his hand. You quickly stood and followed him out and you both took a long walk talking and laughing about things from your childhood. You were in fits of laughter as he reminded you of some of your funniest moments with all of your siblings. As you were getting closer to your mom's, you bumped into a guy walking the neighborhood too. It felt like you walked face first into a metal door and you stood holding your nose hoping it wasn't bleeding.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I did not mean to run into you." a deep strong voice hummed to you soothingly.
"No I'm fine, I'm good. No blood, see." You said standing to show him your nose, but quickly covered it as it was still hurting. When you finally took the time to look at him, you couldn't help but notice how extremely handsome he was. You tilted your head at him, because you had a feeling you'd seen him before, but you couldn't place it.
"Maybe we should have it checked? I mean I could drive you to a doctor I live right up the street." He said trying to move your hands to peak at your nose. When he finally moved them, he gave your nose a slight tap and you all but screamed. "Shh shh shh I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."
"I'm not hurt, I'm fine. I just need to get home and put ice on it." you said shielding your nose from him. Somehow he and your brother started their own conversation about how stubborn you could be, and the more you looked at him, the more you swore you knew him.
"I'm being very rude, I haven't introduced myself, I'm Clark Kent, I work for the Daily Planet." He said almost on cue.
"Oh, okay, makes sense. I could've sworn I knew you, and I couldn't place from where. Well that makes sense." You said chuckling a bit in relief. You hated when you couldn't remember people, and he extended his hand. When you shook his hand, for a second it felt as if you were engulfed in heat, and you felt yourself get a bit dizzy. The moment you pulled your hand away, you felt like you things were back to normal. When you looked at him again, he had a look in his eyes that made you shiver. "Alright, I think we should head back. Sorry again, and nice to meet you." You said racing away.
"Nice to meet you too Y/n , see you around." He said starring as you walked away. When you both got far enough away, your brother burst out laughing.
"Dude, your face when you walked into him. Haha, you should've seen your face." He said laughing and pointing at you. You scowled at him for a second before realizing how funny the situation actually was. You both were in fits of laughter, bent over crying. Your brother always knew how to make you laugh and you appreciated that he was there for you when things were as uncertain as they were.
That night, you and your sister were sitting out on the patio in the backyard talking, when something landing in your lap caused you to scream and jump up. You looked around thinking it was a spider, and let out a big breath when you realized it wasn't a spider, but a letter. You laughed at your sister for a small moment until you realized it was the same parchment that Kal-El used to write you. Your eyes went wide as saucers and you felt your heart drum in your ears.
"Y/n, what is it?" You sister asked.
"It's him, he found me." You said almost unable to fully form the sentence.
"How? We've been back here the whole time, no one has been here. NO ONE." she yelled at you, and you knew it was more out of fear than anything. You both immediately went inside and told everyone that you'd received a new letter and your husband and brother immediately went outside to look around. Your mom called the police and you all stood around not sure what to do at that point. You were afraid to read the letter, at the same time you really wanted to know what it had to say. You walked to the bathroom and opened the letter.
Dearest Heart,
What do you think you're doing love? Are you trying to run from me? Silly girl, you're so adorable. Do you want me to tell you how intertwined our souls are? You know me, near and far. You recognize me and you make yourself believe you don't know me, but you do. Your body knows me, very well. There is very little you can do to get away from me, little one. I knew writing you would ring alarms, but I didn't mean to frighten you as I would never do anything to hurt you. I love you so much, I hope you will come to believe that. I'm glad you're back with your mom, I didn't like the end of town you lived on anyway. You deserve so much better. I can give you that, you know? I can give you anything in this world all you have to do is ask. Maybe I could bring you where I am while I'm out working. I would love to have you travel with me, but I can't bear to see you in harms way. It would destroy me to see anything awful happen to you again, especially if I allowed it. I hope you do realize, that all that I do, I do it with you in mind. I get sad sometimes, you know? I get lonely when I can't be near you, even for a second. I pull out my favorite picture of you and it makes me smile. It keeps me going and know in my heart that as long as I have you I have something to continue saving this world for. I can't wait to hold you, to feel you in my arms while we make love, and fall asleep. I can't wait to make you breakfast, and have lazy days with you. I see you in my dreams. Did you know you've saved me from my nightmares? Every bad and dark thing I've seen, things that have startled me awake, even though I know they're gone. I see your face, and the bad things fade. I've seen things that would keep you awake at night and make you hide away from the world. I will protect you and those you love, even though I don't love them. I love our family, what we have together. I will be traveling but I promise to continue to write and watch out for you everyday. I love you.
With All My Heart,
Kal-El
You folded the letter and placed it back in its envelope. You let out a heavy breath and decided you would write him. You had to make him understand that what he was doing was not making you feel safe. You stomped out of the bathroom, to the room you'd been sleeping in and shut the door. You locked yourself in, you sat down with pen and paper, and you began to write.

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