There’s a lot of like insane bullshit going on in the Xros Wars Manga already but one of the funniest bits of like weird insane bullshit is just everything to do with Tactimon. They just like drop completely insane lore drops about him throughout the whole comic and then never elaborate. Like Tactimon fought like the royal knights and successfully blinded one of them. Tactimon's sword is made up of data/parts from Susanoomon's cannon blaster whatever the fuck. Tactimon has like a connection to like hundreds of unsatisfied/unfulfilled dead warrior spirits somehow. Like what the fuck was up with him genuinely

THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT - THE ANTHOLOGY BY TAYLOR SWIFT PROMPT LIST *  assorted lyrics from the album, some lines slightly adapted for meme purposes but feel free to adjust as necessary
even if it's handcuffed, i'm leaving here with you.
trust me. i can handle a dangerous man.
i love you. it's ruining my life.
does it feel all right to not know me?
i am who i am 'cause you trained me.
quick. tell me something awful.
i loved you the way that you were.
we were just kids, babe.
i can fix him.
you and i go from one kiss to getting married.
you said i'm the love of your life.
way up there, i actually love it.
i just don't understand how you don't miss me.
do you hate me?
did you think i had it in me?
what if i told you i'm back?
i still miss the smoke.
i'm not trying to exaggerate, but i think i might die if it happened.
you look like stevie nicks.
it's hell on earth to be heavenly.
i still can't believe it.
this happens once every few lifetimes.
didn't you hear? they called it all off.
it's happening again.
my friends say it isn't right to be scared.
i might just die.
fuck you if i can't have us.
tell me about the first time you saw me.
are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me?
no one's ever had me... not like you.
stay away from her.
there wouldn't be this if there hadn't been you.
i don't think you've changed much.
that's where i was when i lost it all.
life was always easier on you than it was on me.
i hoped you'd return.
do you believe me now?
what if your eyes looked up and met mine one more time?
what are the chances you'd be downtown?
is it something i did?
oh, we must stop meeting like this.
they say what doesn't kill you makes you aware.
i'm not a donor, but i'd give you my heart if you needed it.
looking backwards might be the only way to move forwards.
the story isn't mine anymore.
what a charming saturday!
none of it is changing.
wild winds are death to the candle.
one bad seed kills the garden.
i'm bitter, but i swear i'm fine.
this place made me feel worthless.
i didn't want to come down.
everything had been above board.
blood's thick, but nothing like a payroll.
you can mark my words that i said it first.
the professor said to write what you know.
all of this to say, i hope you're okay.
your words are still just ringing in my head.
i built a legacy which you can't undo.
who do i have to speak to to change the prophecy?
the effects were temporary.
no, i'm not coming to my senses.
babe, you gotta fake it 'til you make it.
you know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart.
i guess a lesser woman would've lost hope.
thought of calling you, but you won't pick up.
you're a professional.
long may you reign.
you're an animal. you are bloodthirsty.
now i seem to be scared to go outside.
i don't believe in good luck.
i hate it here.
if i'd been there, i'd hate it.
only the gentle survived.
i'm lonely, but i'm good.
you have no room in your dreams for regrets.
i thought it was just goodbye for now.
are you still a mind reader?
let it once be me.
i haven't decided yet.
i still dream of him.
i'm so afraid i sealed my fate.
it was always the same searing pain.
i can't forgive the way you made me feel.
it wasn't a fair fight or a clean kill.
she used to say she wished that you were dead.
tell me all your secrets.
they tried to warn you about me.
you're in terrible danger.
i'm the life you chose.
yes, i'm haunted, but i'm feeling just fine.
no one asks any questions here.
tell me i'm despicable. say it's unforgivable.
i'm running back home to you.
you should see your faces.
you knew the price going in.
was any of it true?
who the fuck was that guy?
i don't ever want you back.
did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed?
you don't get to tell me you feel bad.
you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.
am i allowed to cry?
there's no such thing as bad thoughts. only your actions talk.
they're going to crucify me anyway.
i know i'm just repeating myself.
that's the closest i've come to my heart exploding.

when you get into an argument
Tumblr media
main work | masterlist
pairing: boxer!jungkook x boxer!reader
wc: 1.5k+
“You’re in a match against who?” An exasperated gasp leaves your mouth upon hearing the name of a particular person.
“Eunwoo,” Jungkook leans forward to put down his cup, before facing you on the couch, “Got set up with him again,”
“He’s going to be harder on you considering you beat him in the last match though,” You mutter, voice quieting down as you notice Jungkook frowning at you.
“Are you doubting me?” He hums, not breaking eye contact as you shake your head, stretching out your legs to lay them on his lap.
His hands automatically stroke over the soft skin of your legs, noticing you were a little colder than usual, so he reaches for the blanket laid on the couch and covers your legs.
“No,” You tell him honestly, you’ve never doubted Jungkook’s strength once, “I’m just saying he could poke you in the wrong way-”
“I’ll be fine, ___,” He sighs, cutting you off abruptly as you now frown at him, feeling the tensions rising already.
“Okay,” You hum, shrugging as you curl your legs against your body, removing the weight that once was on your boyfriend’s lap.
“I won’t do anything bad, I promise,” He tells you softly now, sensing you were still unsure about this whole thing. To be fair, Jungkook only wanted another match with Eunwoo to prove once again that he could beat the guy, since Eunwoo had been constantly asking for a rematch, claiming he would take Jungkook down. Who was he to not accept the offer?
“But you know what almost happened last time,” You sigh, leaning your head back onto the arm rest of the couch as you stretch.
“I’m not a kid, I can handle him fine,” His voice grows with frustration, maybe even a hint of annoyance, “Anyways I’ll win him this time again, it doesn’t matter what he says, I know my strengths,”
“I didn’t say you were being a kid, I meant that you know too how Eunwoo can be,” You wince slightly thinking about the guy, “He knows how to annoy his opponents through words and won’t back down,”
“I know him, he’s my opponent, I’ve played against him for years now, so I don’t know why you’re the one telling me about him,” Jungkook’s voice raises ever so slightly, as you simply nod, deciding it was better to not say anything further, the tension in the room had been already so suffocating, you didn’t want to fight with your boyfriend.
“___, you know what I mean,” He sighs, his voice slightly softer this time, but you don’t give him much of a reply.
Jungkook only gets another hum from you as he watches you open up your book, diverting your attention away from him.
-
“You got everything?” You call out from the kitchen, quickly packing up a small lunch for Jungkook to take with him.
“Yeah, thanks baby,” He shuffles into the kitchen, pressing a quick kiss to your forehead as you hand him the lunchbox, patting his shoulder.
You couldn’t attend his match since you had an online lecture to attend, juggling school and boxing was definitely not an easy task, but you somehow managed to get through everyday fine.
Your unresolved conflict was still in the back of your mind, his too. You weren’t going to lie, you could still feel the tension from him, the way he only pecked your forehead instead of giving you a proper kiss, the way he didn’t hug you this morning, instead mumbling a quick “morning,”.
Your heart aches a little as you watch him walk out the door, maybe you shouldn’t have expected him to walk back to you to give you a proper goodbye, his goodluck kiss before a match.
-
You should be laughing right now at how predictable the outcome was. Here you are, on the phone with Jungkook’s manager as you quickly gather up your stuff, grabbing your car keys as you head out the door.
“___, I swear you have to pick him up right now,”
“Exactly what did he do?” Your panting, from running all over the house trying to fetch your belongings before running to your car.
“I’m not sure, they broke out in a fight in the preparation room, no one was there until I walked in, but he definitely has a scratch on his face,” You hear his manager sigh over the phone, probably expecting this to happen as well.
“I’m on my way, I gotta hang up now,” You press the end call button and start your car, trying your best to keep within the speed limit as you rush over.
-
When you open the door that has Jungkook’s name labeled on it, you’re met with him sitting on the couch and staring at his shoes, as if he knew you were coming.
“Pack up your things,” Your voice is monotonous as you tell him, not walking further into the room as you stand at the doorway, watching as he scrambles to pick up his bag and gloves.
You seriously don’t want to be mad at him, not after his fight got called off, meaning that he would have lost a ton of money betting on him. But the fact that the both of you had gotten into an argument about this happening, it just fueled your frustrations further, not to mention the fact that you may get a very upset email from your lecturer later for suddenly leaving the online class.
The walk to the car is silent, too silent for Jungkook’s liking. To be fair, it was his fault for walking on thin ice with Eunwoo, maybe he did throw in an insult or two, but he definitely did not expect Eunwoo to throw in a punch after calling the guy weak.
You get in the driver’s seat of the car, not bothering to glance at your boyfriend once as he sits in the passenger seat, head tilted towards you, waiting for your next move.
“Are you mad?” Jungkook breaks the silence first. It’s almost insane how wobbly and quiet his voice has gotten, considering it’s the same man who does boxing for a living.
A scoff leaves your mouth as you turn to him, clearly upset that you had to leave mid-lecture to pick your boyfriend up, for what? For punching his opponent because of their long rivalry with each other.
“You think? I told you already, it wasn’t a good idea, and you told me you wouldn’t do anything!” Your voice raises slightly as you cross your arms, waiting for his reply.
“I didn’t start it, he hit me first,” Jungkook tells you, his tone suggesting he had not fully understood why you were so upset right now.
“Jungkook,” You deadpan, he winces at the lack of a pet name. “You don’t get it? Even if he hits you, you don’t hit back! You’re not in the ring for goodness sake, if word goes out that you retaliated back at him, do you even know how much risk your career would be at?”
He lowers his head, keeping silent. You were right, he knew you were upset for a valid reason.
“I know it’s hard not to retaliate back, but it’s the one thing you need to do, to not punch the guy back! It just goes to show that the both of you aren’t thinking straight, I thought at least you would be sensible enough not to retaliate,” You sigh, starting the car without waiting for his reply.
Jungkook doesn’t say anything, only stares out the window as the both of you drive home in silence. His heart ached a little at your harsh yet true words, all he could do was sit in regret and hope that you would not stay mad at him for long.
-
When you pull into the car park and park the car, Jungkook waits for you to say something. The silence is killing him. But you simply grab your bag and shut the car door, not waiting for him to get out.
He flinches slightly at the car door shutting a little louder than usual, watching as you walk towards the lift lobby of your shared apartment, he quickly unbuckles his seatbelt and rushes to catch up.
“I’m really sorry,” He whispers, slightly glossy eyes staring straight at you, but you don’t look back at him.
“You don’t need to be sorry to me Jungkook, I just warned you about this happening and you insisted it won’t, yet here we are,” You huff, walking out the lift as it opens.
Fuck, he messed up big time. Jungkook wants to turn back time, to maybe have listened to you carefully and not say such harsh words when this was where he ended up. He had never seen you so mad before, so mad at him, to be specific.
He doesn’t know what to do, doesn’t know what to say. He watches as you walk into the kitchen to reheat tonight’s dinner, but his heart pounds in his chest, his heart aches as he watches you grow in frustration when the microwave’s buttons falter. Jungkook is dying to help you, but he’s afraid, afraid that you’re too mad at him to even be around him.

I FEEL YOUR COMPLIMENTS LIKE BULLETS ON SKIN. | JACK HUGHES
au masterlist
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jack had always made sure to compliment how good you were at being a mother. How great you were with the kids, how gracefully you handled each problem when it arose. That was just who Jack Hughes was. He was a charmer, always having a way with his words.
You never hated Jack Hughes more than you had at this moment. Your second and youngest baby, Daisy Hughes, was currently celebrating away her first birthday, her chubby hands clapping together excitedly, not aware that her mother, you, was going through an emotional turmoil.
Your first baby, however, was extremely smart for his age. So caring and thoughtful.
“You ‘kay mama?” He wasn’t able to speak proper sentences yet, only being 2, but he had the idea down.
“I’m okay bubba, thank you for asking.” You picked him up, giving him a kiss on the cheek to which he returned one to yours, sloppy but so full of love that it reminded you of Jack.
In fact, Olivier reminded you so much of Jack. He was practically your husband’s carbon copy, your genes having not put up a single fight.
“Daisy fussin’ mama,” Olivier presses his small hands against your cheek, making you turn to look at his baby sister.
“She’s probably just hungry,” you reassure him, placing him down gently before opening the fridge to get milk. “Aren’t you Daisy bear?”
Your baby talk makes your daughter babble something happily back, smiling ear to ear. She was adorable, your mini copy.
An hour later, most of your family members, including Jack’s parents and Quinn had came over to the house, all holding mini gift bags that said Happy Birthday!
Olivier had practically ran over Ellen, who smothered the boy in kisses before doing the same to Daisy who was currently sitting in her high chair.
“Oh my! She’s grown so big,” Ellen says admiringly, “she looks so much like you Rory.”
“Thank you mama,” you say, holding onto Ellen’s hand for a while before taking out the cake you had bought yesterday from the fridge. It was mini sized, perfect for Daisy who’s eyes lit up at the sight of it.
“Jack’s busy tonight?” Quinn whispers after your baby is done blowing out her cake.
“Yeah, him and Luke are away.” You try to hide your disappointment, but Quinn can clearly see it. He knows you like the back of his hand at this point, you were his sister in law.
“Has he called at least?”
You sigh, shaking your head. You knew Jack loved Daisy, you knew he loved both of your kids with all his heart, but it was still upsetting to know that he would be missing Daisy’s first milestone.
“Well don’t worry about it too much Rory, I’m sure he’ll call by tonight. That’s his Daisy girl after all, he wouldn’t miss seeing you two over FaceTime.”
You nod, giving Quinn a quick hug before waving goodbye to all your family members. Now, it was just you and your two kids, like it had been for the past 2 weeks.
You missed Jack with all your heart, wanting to do this entire parenting thing with him. It wasn’t like he didn’t want to be here with you guys, it was just that he couldn’t. But it didn’t make that any less painful.
“Hey.” The sound of Jack makes both of your kids’ ears perk up, Daisy blabbing happily as Olivier ran out from his room.
“Dada!” Ollie takes a seat right next to Daisy, who was currently on your lap.
“My Ollie boy!” Jack’s smile grows wide, watching as Olivier fidgets around in happiness. “How was Daisy’s birthday baby? Did you guys have fun?”
“So much fun!” Olivier opens his arms wide, as if he was trying to express how much fun he had with the length of his arm. “I had this much fun!”
“Oh really,” Jack laughs. “I bet you did. Did you give mama a hard time?”
“Nah uh!” Olivier shakes his head, getting up and personal to the camera. “Daisy was fussin’ earlier dada, but mama took care of her.”
“I’m glad.” Jack then turns his attention to you on the screen. “Hi Rory sweetheart.”
“Hi,” you say. You want to sound happy, you do, but not having Jack by your side really took a toll on your emotions.
“You okay?”
“I just wish you were here Jacky.”
Jack sighs, turning on his hotel room lamp. “I know baby, I wish I was too. I really miss you guys.”
“It doesn’t seem like it.”
Jack’s happy demeanor flatters. “What did you say?”
“Nothing Jack,”
He shakes his head. “No Rory. I heard you. What do you mean it doesn’t seem like it?”
“You barely called today Jack!” You say exasperated, “it’s your daughter’s first birthday, and you barely called. It’s 10pm right now, I should’ve put Daisy and Ollie to sleep an hour ago, but I was waiting on your phone call ‘cause I knew they’d wanted to see you. You know, their father, Jack.”
Jack rubs his face in annoyance, clearly not expecting such a reaction from you. “Well I’m sorry I was busy Rory. I would’ve called if I wasn’t, you know that right? I love you guys, you know this. I’m sorry I haven’t been there Ror, I know it’s hard on you. But you’re such a good mother, you’re doing so well with the kids, I’m proud of you.”
“You know what’s funny, J?” You laugh, a few tears coming to your eyes. “Your words are supposed to make me feel better. Your compliments are supposed to make me let go of all this tension. But they feel like bullets, Jack. I feel your compliments feel like bullets on skin.”
Jack doesn’t know what to say. He knew you would be upset he wouldn’t be able to make it to Daisy’s birthday, but he didn’t think you’d be this upset.
“I’ll talk to you in the morning, okay? We both just need to calm down.”
And before you could protest, Jack’s already hung up.
You swear quietly, covering your baby’s ear as you do so. You get up from your place on the couch, deciding to just call it a night and put Daisy to sleep.
“Are you asleep yet Ol?” You peek your head quietly into your son’s room after putting Daisy in her crib.
“No mama,” he says quietly back, little feet running to you. “Can I sleep with you tonight?”
“Of course you can sweetheart,” you carry Olivier on your hip, walking to your room and making sure your son gets comfortable under the sheets. “Mama is gonna do her skincare, you sleep first, okay baby?”
“Yes mama.”
That night, you can’t help but cry silently as you cuddled your son close to your chest. You knew you were being emotional, but you couldn’t help it. You missed Jack more than anything.
The next morning, you’re awoken by a kiss on the forehead.
“J?” You say groggily, making out your husband’s face as your vision becomes clearer. “J!”
You throw your arms around him, bringing him into a tight hug.
“Rory.” He replies back, pulling away to give you a long awaited kiss on the lips.
After pulling away, you can’t help but chase his lips, which make him chuckle quietly. He presses his head down to give a kiss on Olivier’s forehead.
“Daisy’s still asleep?” You ask, putting your arms around Jack’s shoulders. You missed feeling his touch so much.
“Sound asleep.” Jack smiles. “Looks exactly like her mama.”
You look down guilty, realizing what you had said to Jack yesterday. “I’m sorry about yesterday J. I was just really emotional about you missing Dais’s first birthday. It means a lot to me that you’re here for our babies milestones.”
“I know.” Jack says, pressing a kiss to the side of your head. “I’m here now, okay? I told them I had to be home with my wife and kids immediately after I hung up last night. I had to see you guys again, it was killing me too.”
You pull Jack into a hug once again, cherishing this intimate moment you were having with him. It felt so good to have him back in your arms again after a long 2 weeks.
You were too happy to remember to show him the news you had found out a few days ago.
The blue stick with two lines on it.

“You’re late” a 12 year old Megumi states jogging in your direction after spotting you and his dad.
“Yeah thanks to your highness over here” Toji nudges you.
“Sorry baby,” you kiss Megumi on the cheek “I miss-placed my wedding ring when I was gardening and took me half an hour to find it.”
“Couldn’t you come without it?”
“That’s what I told your father” you give Toji a ‘see?’ look.
“Absolutely not, especially not here” your husband place his hand possessively around your waist.
“What does tha— never mind, I’m taking you guys to my classroom” Megumi leads the way.
On this day his school was holding an event for parents and family to visit and see some of the work the kids have been doing giving the parents an opportunity to speak to the teachers and discuss their children performance.
So obnoxious Toji thinks, it’s all an attempt to raise money anyways, the kids are young and are not doing anything super risky so this was basically a PTA meeting.
“Honey?” you call Toji that replies with a low hum “Since we are here, what do you think about checking Mai and Maki? You know, see if they need anything” you suggest knowing the twins don’t have an easy time around their family.
“You know where your cousins might be, kid?” he asks Megumi that points across the fields, “Will you be okay?” Toji asks, since you’re not a sorcerer he gets tense about bringing you to such places considering his own past against the jujutsu world.
“Of course, ‘Gumi will stay with me” you rub your kid’s back.
Megumi takes you to a classroom where a couple of parents are sitting and a tall white haired man leans on a desk answering questions.
“That’s Gojo-sensei.”
“Figured” you heard about Megumi’s teacher from him and also Toji, “I thought he was younger, your dad always call him six eye brat” you whisper to Megumi.
“He calls everyone kid and brat, mom” you giggle along Megumi.
His sensei says goodbye to the last couple and welcomes you.
“Ah the Fushiguro matriarch!” he stands hovering over you, “You came by yourself?”
“Hello, Mr. Gojo, thanks for taking care of my boy” you ruffle Megumi’s hair and he rolls his eyes, “My husband is checking on something, so I guess it’s only the three of us for now.”
Gojo smiles and proceeds to go through a bit of what Megumi had been working on the past months and how he progressed. You listen carefully and Megumi is actually surprised about how maturely Gojo is leading this conversation.
After a few minutes you spot Maki crossing the hallway.
“Will you excuse me for a second?” you ask Gojo and he nods as you raise and run to catch Maki.
“Sorry, my mom worries about them” Megumi justifies.
Gojo raisers one side of his blindfold to peek at you delicately running through the hallway to meet Maki.
“Megumi, let me ask something” he says seriously, “Can your dad still fight?”
Megumi blinks twice wondering if he heard the question correctly then follows his sensei’s gaze to his mother who is now holding Maki’s face looking for any signs of mistreatment.
For a second Megumi considers saying yes just so his sensei leaves his mother alone, but after a second he thinks both Gojo and his dad could use some beating.
“Find out for yourself.”
Tumblr media
“Got a text from Megumi’s sensei” you say hopping on the bed later that night.
“The six eye brat?”
“Yeah, he insisted for me to have his number in case of an emergency.”
“Let me see it” Toji asks and you handle him your phone.
It was a pleasure to meet you Ms. Fushiguro, I hope our paths cross again.
— Satoru.
Ms. Fushiguro? Toji side-eyes the ring at your left hand that hasn’t come out since he helped you find it that morning. Maybe he should get you a bigger one. Or maybe he should have a talk with six eye brat.

Unforgiving Anxieties
Pairing: Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw x wife!reader
Summary: Rooster has to leave again, which isn’t something new. But this time, he’s leaving his wife with a baby at home, and Y/n isn’t sure if she can handle the stress that comes with parenting all by herself.
Warnings: Small spoilers for Top Gun: Maverick. LOTS of angst, but plenty of fluff to back it up
A/N: WOAH. Not the Witcher, and not an OC? Who am I?? Idk guys, but this has been on my mind for days, so I just had to write it. Let me know what you think :)
Masterlist
----------
Rooster thought he would have more time before his work pulled him away from his family again. Truly, he did. But things never worked out the way you wanted them to, and such was even more true for aviators in the US Navy. 
Still, it never got better. To kiss his wife goodbye, hold her close, and promise “yes, baby, I’ll be safe,” “no, honey, I won’t put myself in any unnecessary danger,” was harder than any dogfight he’s ever been in. She’d pretend not to cry, he’d pretend not to notice, and he’d always leave with the same thought in the back of his mind that maybe, just maybe, flying wasn’t worth leaving her time and time again. 
But then came Elijah. And for a while, at least, things were different. 
Elijah Nicholas Bradshaw was the light of his parents' lives. Nearly six months old, no baby was more doted on them him. With a closet full of mini Hawaiian shirts to match his daddy, and an unlimited amount of affection from Y/n, the kid seemed to have a permanent smile on his face. Rooster even had to upgrade his phone to unlimited storage to make room for all the photos he took. 
But paternity leave for the Navy was only twenty-one days. Eventually, he had to go back to work, and it tore him apart to leave every day, even if he got to return at the end of the night. It was hard, almost indescribable, but manageable. 
Until now. Things were different now. He’d been called back to Top Gun without so much as an explanation as to why he had to leave his wife and half-year-old baby, other than the small detail that it was most definitely a dangerous mission. 
He could’ve said no. Should’ve said no. But then he thought of his father, thought of how close he got to having him back whenever he was in the air, and remembered why he loved doing what he did. So instead, the Bradshaws went through the motions yet again. Except this time, Eli was in his mother's arms as Rooster said goodbye. 
“Please be safe,” she mumbled against the crook of his neck, the pair clinging to one another on their front porch. He could feel the subtle drops of tears against his skin, but he pulled her closer and pretended not to notice. Elijah giggled at the feeling of being squished between his parents. 
Rooster pressed a rough kiss to his wife’s head. “I will.” 
“And keep me updated,” she spoke quickly, her words full of anxiety. “I know most of it is classified, but I just want to know-” 
He gently pulled her away from his chest, cupping the sides of her neck to angle her face towards his own. “Breathe, baby,” he sighed, urging her to do the same. His thumbs brushed across the apples of her cheeks to rid them of tears, though he knew it was a futile attempt. “I will tell you everything I can, okay? I promise.” 
His wife nodded up at him, her tears mixing with the fear and despair and pride and something he couldn’t recognize swirling in her eyes. 
Rooster cracked her a smile, a dull sort of chuckle falling from his lips. “Hey,” he whispered against her lips. “No crying for me, baby. It’s just a classroom. The only thing I’ll suffer from is sunburns and acute boredom.” 
It was a lie, and they both knew it. But it brought out a watery laugh from his Y/n all the same. 
When she was done laughing, and he was done admiring her, the look on her face was something akin to determination. “Here’s what's gonna happen,” she spoke to him softly. These words were only for him and their little family of three. “You’re gonna go, and you’re gonna learn whatever it is they think they can teach you. And then you’re gonna complete this super-secret mission that everyone wants to pretend isn’t happening. And when it’s all said and done, you’ll come home to me. To us. Got it?” 
This was the wife he knew. Strong and fearless and overly demanding. 
He loved it. 
“Yes ma'am,” he said with a smile, still holding her face close to his. 
After a moment, he decided to move on to the baby in her arms. Eli, ever the mama’s boy, grumbled a little about the movement, but quickly settled against his father's chest. Rooster was immediately pressing kisses to his cheeks.
“And you, my little man. Are you gonna be good for mama while I’m away? You have to, being the man of the house and all. You gotta look after our girl.” 
Y/n tucked herself into his side as she watched, and Rooster wrapped his free arm around her. 
“Don’t grow too much while I’m away,” he whispered into his son’s ear, and that made Y/n laugh softly again. 
“It’s only a couple of weeks, Roos.” 
“Babygirl, he’ll be six months by the time I get back. I’m missing a milestone.” 
“There’ll be more.” 
Rooster wasn’t sure if he liked how casually she said that. As if the idea of him not being there for every important moment in their lives, of him missing the memories worth making, was something she’d already made peace with. But he didn’t have too much time to dwell on it, not with her practically shoving him towards his running car. It felt like forever, and it felt like seconds, them saying goodbye. But time passed, as it always did, until he was driving away with clenched fists and a heavy heart. 
He didn’t regret his job, and he knew his wife didn’t either. But sometimes, none of that mattered. 
It still sucked.

“You look like you haven’t slept in days, honey.”
“Wow, Roos, you really know the way to a girl's heart.”
“You’re always beautiful, Y/n, but you know what I mean.” 
“Yeah, yeah,” she sighed, brushing some stray hair away from her face. The bun she wore wasn’t holding much at this point, and though her eyes were still sparkling as they normally did when on a face time call with her husband, the bags underneath them were hard to miss. “Well, you’re not completely wrong. Eli is supposed to be sleeping in his own room from now on, which means I spend most of the time in there instead of in bed.” 
Rooster shifted his phone from one hand to the other with a concerned look on his face. The tip of his nose was burnt from the San Diego sun, and Y/n couldn’t help but smile at how cute he looked. “Is he not sleeping well?” 
“No, he’s sleeping fine. It’s me who can’t settle down.” 
His eyebrow lifted in question, and Y/n let out another sigh. 
“I just have this feeling,” she admitted, somewhat embarrassed. “That if I’m not watching him at all times, he’ll stop breathing. Which is irrational, but I literally can’t turn my brain off. I won’t sleep even if I do lie down, so I might as well watch him.” 
Rooster immediately felt horrible. Worse than the 200 push-ups he’d been forced to do last week, or the uphill climb Mav was teaching them. It was like he had one job, one real job, and he wasn’t able to do it. 
“Y/n,” he struggled to find the words. 
“I know, I know. It’s stupid.” 
Another punch to the gut. 
“I should be there. It’s a tough transition, and meant to be a two-person job.”
Her eyes were all-knowing, and what Rooster wanted more than anything in the world was to drown in them. “You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.” 
“I’m supposed to be with you,” he said with a pout. 
“You will be,” she giggled. “In a few weeks from now, when you’re done doing whatever it is you're doing. Maybe by then, I’ll be a little more chilled out.”
“Stop saying that. It’s okay to be nervous. Can’t you call your mom, see if she’ll watch him for a bit so you can sleep?”
“I could…” she seemed unsure, and Rooster rubbed his face in discomfort.
Something told him his wife wasn’t being completely honest with how much this was affecting her. She didn’t trust anyone with their son that wasn’t herself right now, and he feared she would run herself into the ground before asking for help. And he wanted to offer it. He wanted to say that he was there for her, that he would help her in any way he could. 
But he wasn’t there for her, and he couldn’t help. So what was he to do, other than offer useless words?
“Please just try, baby, okay?” he said instead, hoping whatever he said would be enough. “Your mom's great, and I’m sure she’d love to spend some time with Eli. Just have her promise to wake you if anything seems off.” 
Her nose scrunched at the idea, but she nodded all the same. “Alright, I’ll give it a shot. Does that ease your mind at all?” 
“I was hoping it would ease yours.” 
“You’re impossible, Bradley Bradshaw, do you know that?” she rolled her eyes at him.
“Impossibly in love with you, Y/n Bradshaw.”
She laughed at him for that. A full-out belly laugh that shook the camera within her grasp, and Rooster couldn’t help but laugh with her. He thought she was absolutely stunning when she was like this. Carefree and happy and amused by something stupid he’d said. And, with utmost certainty, he knew he’d continue to make a goddamn fool of himself for the rest of their lives if it kept her this way. 
“I miss you, baby,” he said once their laughter died down. 
“What, your flying buddies aren’t good enough company?”
Rooster thought of Hangman, an ultimate pain in the ass with all bark and no bite. And he thought of Pheonix, who picked on him for fun, and Bob, who almost seemed to not understand the meaning of the word. 
They were his friends, and he loved them. But they weren’t his wife. 
“Nobody’s better than you, sugar bear.” 
“Ugh, you know I hate when you say that.” 
“I know,” he teased. “I just wanted to see your face scrunch up like that when I did.”
“You know what Bradshaw? I’m going to bed.” 
“Promise?” he said with a somewhat serious edge to his voice. 
She smiled up at him. “Mhm, it’s straight to dreamland for me. Eli’s already asleep, and I checked on him right before you called.” 
The angle of her phone dropped to focus on the baby monitor at her side. It was a grainy picture, but the view of his son's wild sandy hair as he slept peacefully was enough to make Rooster’s heart soar. 
“Alright, baby, I won’t keep you then. I love you.” 
“I love you too. Be safe, okay?”
“I will.” 
----------
It would be two more weeks before Rooster was reunited with his wife. As soon as he landed (rather roughly) on the carrier, he was calling her to let her know that the mission was over, and he was on his way home. She asked how it went, he said “as smooth as a car crash,” and she laughed and laughed until tears were slipping from her eyes. 
The reunion itself, despite the seriousness of the situation, wasn’t nearly as tearful as one may think. In fact, they never were when it came to the Bradshaws. Goodbyes were miserable, but hellos were all smiles and laughs and dancing in the kitchen to music that wasn’t there. And at the end of the day, they ate dinner on their back porch and marveled at their son, who was too busy rubbing dirt on his face to notice how happy his parents were. 
But with the night came anxiety. They put Elijah to bed together, with the baby in Y/n’s arms and Y/n in Rooster’s. It was everything she’d wanted for weeks, but it couldn’t ease her aching heart. When Rooster directed his wife to bed, she couldn’t help but worry. 
Her brain wouldn’t turn off. 
Rooster could feel it throughout the night. Every 45 minutes or so, even with his consciousness muddled by sleep, he noticed her slipping out of bed. Quietly, as if she didn’t want to wake him, but that didn’t matter. He was attuned to his wife’s every movement, even in sleep. Which meant that every time she pulled herself out of his arms to go check on their son, he layed awake, waiting for her to return. 
It was the fifth or sixth time that he finally decided to say something. 
“Honey?” he said groggily, pulling her back against his chest when he felt her move to get up. “What’s wrong?” 
“Nothings wrong,” she whispered back. “I just want to make sure Eli’s okay.” 
“He looks fine, baby, see? On the monitor, he’s sleeping like…well, like a baby.” 
Y/n didn’t laugh at his joke, barely even cracked a smile. Her hands were still gripping the comforter, itching to stand and check for herself. Rooster couldn’t think of the words to ease her mind, not when he knew they didn’t exist. He wanted her to rest, and there was only one way she would. 
“How about I go check on him, hm? You stay here, and I’ll make sure everything’s alright.” 
“No, no, no, that’s okay, I can just-”
“Y/n,” he shushed her, leaning in to kiss her forehead. “I’m back now. You don’t have to do this alone anymore. Let me go check.” 
She nodded to him as he rose, though he could tell she wasn’t fully convinced. With light feet, Rooster padded across the carpeted floors, all the way to the room across from theirs. White noise echoed from the crack in the door, and he pushed it open slightly to slip into the room. 
He was immediately drawn to the crib in the far corner. Before he could realize it, a smile was spreading across his drowsy face. His perfect boy was fast asleep, sprawled on his back with arms and legs strewn haphazardly around him. 
Y/n said that Eli slept as he did. Rooster always pretended not to agree with her. 
He laid his hand flat on his son's chest, the baby still so small that it nearly covered him entirely. He could feel Eli’s chest rise, up and down and up and down. It was smooth and easy, and although Rooster hadn’t been worried for a second, the small part of his brain still relaxed at the feeling. So he leaned down, pressed a soft kiss to his chubby baby cheeks, and made his way back to their bedroom. 
He found his wife sitting up in bed as she anxiously watched the monitor. “He’s all good, baby,” he reassured her, climbing in bed and moving the monitor back to its rightful place on their bed stand. “Let's go back to sleep.” 
She let out an uncomfortable sigh, as if she didn’t completely believe him. He reached out to her, then, and pulled so her back was to his chest. “Come here, come here, come here,” he chanted softly, and she giggled at his foolishness. “Please sleep.” 
She pushed herself deeper into his arms as he pressed kisses to the back of her head. “Okay,” she relented. Rooster could feel her settle, and God in heaven, he hoped she stayed that way.
But she didn’t. 
With Rooster asleep, Y/n was left alone with her thoughts. It started slowly, at first. Little pricks of anxiety that spread through her brain like vines on a tree. But little by little, it grew. It grew until her fears were the only things she could think about, and even the arms wrapped around her waist weren’t enough to pull her back to Earth. 
Instead, horror stories flooded her brain. Fears of SIDS cases after six months, of waking up to a blue baby and realizing it was her fault they lost the one thing that meant more to them than anything else in the world. Because she was the mother, she was the one who should know when something was off, right? 
She could feel it in her soul, right down to the aching heart and burning skin. It was that sense that everyone tells you about, the sense that alerts you to a disturbance in your child. Her baby was alone right now, alone and scared and hurting because something is most definitely wrong. 
Y/n tried to pull herself from Rooster’s arms. Who cares if he checked less than ten minutes ago, because I’m the mom and I know my baby needs help. But the man was just too goddamn persistent, even in sleep, and had the muscles to back it up. So if he wanted her to stay put, that’s where she would be. 
She was quickly running out of patience, though, and so was her anxiety. Her chest was heavy with dread, her airway closing as panic began to run its course. And suddenly, it was no longer I need to see if my baby is okay, but instead, I can’t breathe I can’t breathe I can’t breathe I can’t breathe. 
“Rooster,” she wheezed, squeezing his wrist where it lay firmly on her stomach. 
The man didn’t so much as flinch, and Y/n tried again to grab his attention. “Bradley!” 
Her nails were digging into his skin at this point. That was what awoke him first. However, he quickly noticed the quivering mess that was his wife in his arms. “Woah,” he struggled to understand what could have happened in the short time since he fell asleep. “What’s wrong, what happened?” 
Rooster sat up to get a better look at his wife’s face. It was covered in tears and flushed from what seemed to be a lack of oxygen, a look that he’s seen hundreds of times on panicking aviators. Her mouth opened and closed like a fish gasping for air as she tried to explain, but all that came out were desperate sobs. 
“Please,” she breathed out, and he shushed her as best he could. With his arms, with his lips, and with his words; he wasn’t sure what other kind of comfort he could offer. 
“It’s okay, you’re okay. Take your time, breathe, and tell me what’s wrong.” 
She cried harder again, and he cradled her head close to his chest. 
“You’re going to make yourself sick, baby. Relax,” he nearly begged her. He felt like cold water had been dumped over the both of them with the way they shook. Her with fear, and him with confusion. “Everyone’s okay.” 
“No!” she burst out through quivering lips. “No we’re not, Eli’s not okay! I need to see him right now, Roos, something isn’t right.” 
“We just checked on him-” 
“You checked on him! I need to check on him! Please, please just help me. I need-” 
“Wait here,” he said suddenly, springing from their bed. 
Y/n called after him, wanting to follow, but her legs were too shaky to stand. She wasn’t used to feeling this helpless; had never allowed herself to. But now, with anxiety plaguing her in a way it never had before, the invincible strength of “military wife” was collapsing around her like a fragile house of cards. 
By the time Rooster rushed himself back to their room, his wife was lost to a puddle of tears and exhaustion. He couldn’t quite describe the hazy look he saw in her eyes, and wasn’t sure if he’d be able to ease it. 
But maybe Elijah could. 
“Here honey,” he hushed in a frantic tone. “Look for yourself. He’s perfectly fine, see?” 
Y/n’s shaking hands reached out to hold their now wide awake son, but Rooster was admittedly nervous that she would drop him. So instead, he simply raised the baby closer to her chest, moving until the three of them were huddled together on the bed. 
It was easy to see that Elijah was confused as to why he was now awake. His cute little eyebrows even furrowed in child-like confusion, an expression that his parents would laugh at for years to come. But the poor boy never cried. His patience was a mystery to all. 
Rooster used the arm that wasn’t holding Eli to tuck Y/n’s head against the crook of his neck. He breathed deeply, hoping that it would encourage her to do the same. Her arms clung to him and the baby nestled between them, and her trembling failed to cease, even after 20 minutes of him pressing soothing kisses to her temple. 
“Y/n?” he whispered softly, lips still pressed to her head. “Can you hear me?”
He knew she was barely settled from a panic attack, and wanted to make sure she was coherent enough to understand his words. He also didn’t want to rush her or force her into anything she wasn’t ready for. 
Y/n nodded. A small movement, but one he was able to catch. Her eyes were still firmly locked on the rising and falling chest of their child. 
“Y/n, this isn’t normal.” 
“Maternal anxiety is a part of motherhood,” she said to him in a hoarse, monotone voice. 
“But debilitating anxiety? That’s not healthy, honey.” 
Y/n didn’t respond. At least she was calming down a bit, which Rooster thought was a start. Her breaths were still shaky, but more even than before, and her hands finally relaxed over his own. More than anything, he wanted to know why she was so nervous. Why this fear, which was normal for most parents to have, suddenly became something that plagued her every waking moment. 
He didn’t have to wait long for the answers he sought. 
“Elijah is the best parts of us,” Y/n said after an excruciating minute of silence. “The very best parts.” 
Rooster could wholeheartedly agree with that. At only six months old, Elijah was kind, compassionate, and stubborn as hell. He’d always thought it was impossible for babies to have that much personality in such a small period of time. In fact, in the past, whenever parents described their kids in such detail, he was sure it was all a figment of their imagination. But now, he saw firsthand how special these little ones can be. 
His wife looked up at him, then, with anguish still in her eyes. “But more importantly, he’s a part of you.” 
That threw him for a loop. 
“What?” he whispered, running his fingers up and down her spine in what he hoped to be a soothing gesture. 
“Every day, Bradley, you run off to who knows where to risk your life doing something that you love. I’ve always supported you in that, never asked you to stop. And I never will, because every time you go after something you want, with that fire and willpower that I love so much, I’m always incredibly proud of you.” 
Rooster knew that. More than anything else in the world, he knew that. 
“But I can’t,” she sighed, looking away, before meeting his gaze with something new on her face. Acceptance, perhaps. Or maybe a lack thereof. “I can’t keep you safe. Protect you. I can’t be sure that when you go to work, doing what you love, you’ll come back to me at the end of the night. And I think that every time you walk out that door, it kills me a little more inside.” 
That hurt him more than he wanted to admit. Not because he felt she wasn’t supporting him, in a way, by being afraid. Quite the opposite, actually. He felt horrible that his wife thought the only way to truly support him in advancing his career was to hide the thoughts from him that kept her awake at night. 
That wasn’t to say they didn’t have these conversations before. There were plenty of nights, in their early years of dating, when they stayed up and talked about every thought and fear that entered their minds. The thought of him not returning was painful for both of them, for different reasons of course. But when danger was a part of the job, and relaxing moments were few and far between, it was easier to laugh and kiss and celebrate life than dwell on the parts of it they couldn’t change. 
Maybe it was easier to pretend. Or maybe, at times, they weren’t pretending. But it was a blurred line, and it was one the couple had learned to ignore a long time ago. 
He laid a kiss on her quivering lips, only because he couldn’t find the words to say. She let him, and they sat like that for a moment. Not quite kissing, but simply with their lips pressed gently together. Breathing in the same breath, foreheads leaning together as if it was the only thing keeping them upright. Elijah was already asleep again, peacefully in his father's arms. 
Y/n pulled away to whisper her next words to him, as if they were a confession she wasn’t quite ready to make. “But I can protect this baby.” 
Her thought hung in the air, and Rooster ran it through his mind over and over again until, oh god, he hated himself a little more for realizing what she meant. 
“I just feel like I have no control over my life anymore,” she cried to him. She couldn’t look at him anymore, too focused on the baby in his arms. Rooster wasn’t sure if he could look at himself either. “I have no say in whether my husband stays or goes, no control over whether my child has two parents or one. I can’t even control my own fucking emotions, for Christ's sake.” 
She wiped her tears away with a sharp swipe across her face. Rooster wanted to tell her to stop, to be careful with the face he loved so much, but she had more to say, and his voice was still firmly lodged in his throat. 
“But if I watch this baby, if I just watch him and make sure he’s alright, then I can be sure I always have a piece of you with me. I can be sure that a part of you lives on if…if everything I love falls out of my control.” 
And like a dam, Rooster broke. Tears streaming down his cheeks, he leaned forward to hide his face in the crook of Y/n’s neck. Seeking for comfort he didn’t deserve, for comfort he should have been providing. But his wife wrapped her arms around him without question, which only made the tears flow faster.
“I’m sorry,” he croaked, the movement of his lips pressing butterfly kisses against Y/n’s collarbone. 
“Don’t be. Please, I don’t want you to feel guilty. I never did.” 
“I’m not feeling guilty,” he reassured her. “I’m just…sad.” 
He smiled up at her with tears still on his face. It was a small, insignificant smile, but he wasn’t surprised to find that she was already doing the same. It was a silly confession. In most cases, the word wouldn’t at all fit the occasion. 
Sure, there were better ways to put it. He was anguished at the fact that his wife, his beautiful, radiantly happy wife, was straining under the burden he’d put on her shoulders. He was embarrassed that the mother of his child was sometimes forced to do the job of parenting for the both of them. He was overly torn between his love for flying and his love for his family. He was enraged that he had to choose at all. And he was terribly afraid that the life he’d chosen for himself would doom Y/n to the same fate as his mother, who never truly recovered from the heartache she faced at the hands of his father.
But most of all, he was just sad. 
“I love you,” he said, because it was the easiest thing for him to say. 
She rested her head against his own, which was still on her shoulder. “I love you too.”
“I know I can’t tell you to not be afraid. And I know…I know you won’t let me step down.” 
She was objecting before he could continue. “You worked so hard to get where you are, Bradley, I won’t let you slow down now. You’ve already lost years of your career, and even if you and Mav made up or whatever, you can’t just-”
“Breathe, baby,” he reminded her. The last thing they needed was for her to have another panic attack all over again. 
She huffed, clearly annoyed at him, but obliged. Rooster fought off the urge to laugh at her stubbornness. 
“I don’t know how to fix this,” she admitted at last. “I can’t…these nerves are eating me alive. It’s never been this bad before.” 
Rooster lifted his head from her shoulder to cup her face with his free hand. Their faces were both red and puffy from crying, though he didn’t care about that. Not with the exhaustion still clear in his wife’s eyes. She leaned into his touch until he was nearly holding the entire weight of her head in the palm of his hand. 
He’d hold her whole world in his arms if she asked him to. If she needed it. 
“You don’t fix this,” he said with the sweetest look on his face. Y/n practically melted. “I do. And that starts with you getting some sleep.” 
He watched, in real-time, as panic spread across Y/n’s entire face. Her hands tightened their hold on his wrists as if to pull Elijah closer to herself. Rooster immediately shushed her quietly. 
“I know, I know,” he whispered, allowing her to pull the baby closer. She leaned down to press her already trembling lips to Eli’s forehead. “But you need to sleep. Anxiety only gets worse with sleep deprivation.” 
“Is that something you learn in pilot school?” she mumbled cheekily against the baby’s head. 
“Yes, actually, it is.” 
Y/n didn’t reply, though the ghost of a smile spread across her lips. 
“Come here,” Rooster beckoned, sliding until he was completely leaning against their bed frame. With his legs fanned out in front of him, and baby pulled to rest comfortably against his chest, he gently urged Y/n to lay with her head against his lap. She was hesitant, but obeyed, and once she settled, he wrapped their comforter tightly around them both. “We’re gonna stay right here, Eli and I, while you rest for a couple of hours.”
“What if you get tired, or fall asleep? You just got back from a mission, Bradley, you should be resting.”
“I don’t need it, baby,” he said honestly. He was fine with lying awake and holding his two most important people in his arms. “What I need is for you to get some rest. But if I feel like I might fall asleep, or if there’s anything wrong with Eli, I promise I’ll wake you.” 
Y/n didn’t seem convinced. 
Rooster tried again. “Honey, if he so much as hiccups, you’ll be the first to know. After me, of course. And if you wake up throughout the night feeling afraid, we’ll be right here to show you that everything’s alright.” 
He ran a hand through her hair, down her back, and up again. She finally closed her eyes, an act that was somehow full of reluctance and relief at the same time. “This isn’t a permanent solution,” she mumbled, though she was already rubbing her face against the soft fabric of his sweatpants. 
“We’ll deal with that later,” he reassured her, all the while continuing to rub calming circles on her back. “When we both have more leveled heads.”
Perhaps Y/n wanted to argue. Maybe the words were even on the tip of her tongue. But by the time she opened her mouth to speak them, sleep had already taken over. For the first time in weeks, both mother and son were peacefully sleeping, unable to be plagued by the fears that came with the life they lived. 
And Rooster was more than content to see it.

Guys do you remember when I made a whole post about how David's care for the camp over the seasons went from being about the legacy to attachment to the actual campers themselves instead do you remember that guys
⚠️Spoilers for new episode ahead ⚠️
All of the campers are assholes in varying ways they ALL rag oh each other I've been saying this for forever but they all still have a baseline of being friends and this is showcased well in the butterfinger effect by Max specifically he refers to all of them as his friends. Yes not all of the campers are BEST friends, obviously, some of them even having a distinct annoyance with each other (Max and Ered specifically) but they all still have a FONDNESS for each other regardless
Neil and Nikki have been bullied before, as brought up in the episode the flower scouts are introduced and the one Jeremy is introduced. They have a history of not only being outcasts and not included (like 90% of the campers there) but being OUTRIGHT DISLIKED. This is why in foreign exchange campers they both have a PANIC over the thought Max is replacing them bc he's most likely their very first friend!!!
I don't believe Max has been bullied before as he just distances himself from people. He creates walls. He's experienced loneliness more. (To protect himself bc he "finally had something to lose" in the camp corp episode he calls them temporary to their faces and Neil blinks away a tear. He obviously was emotionally attached to them but didn't want to admit it or get emotional and instead denied it so it would hurt less for himself not caring in the moment if it hurt them)
and that is really reiterated this whole episode. While Nikki and Neil are the ones panicking way more over being hated in the first half (Max even telling them at one point they shouldn't care) Max is the one upset more in the SECOND half at the thought of not seeing them again.
The "I'm not sad I'm livid" IS SO MAX SO MANY PPL MISCHARACTERIZE HIM AS A CRYBABYYY NOOOO HE'S PISSSEDDD, HIS FIRST RESPONSE TO THINGS HE CAN'T EMOTIONALLY HANDLE WELL IS TO BE MADDDD OR RUDE OR IN DENIAL okay sorry back on track
This episode and the camp corp episode really really reiterate it is not camp campbell itself that makes the place great. It's the people. The people are the heart of it. Things got better when they brought themselves together. To help David with the bonfire because Max cared about David's emotional wellbeing not hitting the ground floor. To help raise money to save the camp from shutting down. To give up spending the rest of the summer doing their individual hobbies they got SCAMMED OUT OF and instead spend time WITH EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Neil saying goodbye to David and basically saying for a science camp that basically didn't have any fucking science it sure was great.
Gwen saying THANKS FOR NOTHING CAMP CAMPBELL 🖕 and then immediately after saying "and thank you for everything, David"
CAMP CAMPBELL ISN'T ABOUT THE CAMP IT'S ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN IT
Why else would Max still be okay if the place physically burnt down? BC He'd be HAPPY TO DO IT WITH HIS FRIENDS. HE LOVES MAKING PLANS AND AND SCHEMES AND CAUSING CHAOS, WHAT HE LOVED FROM THE VERY FIRST SEASON NEVER CHANGED. HE JUST FIGURED OUT HOW TO LET HIMSELF BE OPEN TO CARING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE NOT NATURE OR A HOBBY.
He's mad he finally let himself care, that he let that wall down in the camp corp episode, that he grew attached to Nikki and Neil and even admitted it to them later and now it was all being "taken away from him." For a moment he thinks it would've been better to have never known happiness and friendship at all then to have known it and lost it. """You'll maybe be happy again at some point, kid ��⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯""" that's what he thinks he's being told and of course he's mad as hell over it until David and him have a heart to heart.
Max didn't want to leave, Max learned to love being at camp, BECAUSE OF THE FRIENDS THERE!

Whispers of the night - Lloyd Garmadon x F!reader
Part 1 - previous - next
——————
Tag list:
@bodieohbo
——————
Your POV
It has been three days since the threat came in. I told my friends already, and they were going into protection mode, even though half of them would run if a mouse got within ten feet of them.
We normally had two bodyguards around the house at all times and now one of them was assigned to me, to protect me wherever I went.
He is pretty chill though, he just hangs around in the teachers area and I have a scare button on me, so if something happens, he will be with me in a minute.
When I’m in the park with friends, he is just hanging around, hidden in plain sight probably. My dad had decided to not make it obvious where my guard was and how our schedule worked, it’s easy to plan around that.
But currently, I was in school, talking with my friends at my locker, mostly mocking Charlie and Flora who had been all lovey dovey the night before at a hang out.
“We weren’t like that!” Flora laughed as me and James where fake flirting with each other and I raised my eyebrows at her. “Oh, you are right, you where more like this,”
I grabbed James by the collar and let myself fall back against the lockers, his face close to mine. I laid a hand on his upper arm and the other dramatically on my forehead.
“Oh Charlie, you are so amazing and hot,” I said with closed eyes making my friends laugh as Charlie sarcastically let out a ‘haha’ before telling me to stop.
James grinned and immediately went along, putting one hand on my waist and the other cupping my cheek.
“Oh Flora, you look so good, I can just kiss you all night,” he said and we both laughed as the couple tried to shush us in embarrassment as the others laughed with us.
“Charlie, Lets get out of here and leave these losers, I only need you in my life,” I mocked again. Of course it wasn’t this bad at all, we just loved over exaggerating.
“Yes of course, everything for you my love.” He said trough laughs. I threw my head back against the locker, letting out a small yelp of pain making the others laugh even harder.
“Charlie, lets-” I tried to talk but laughed, making me start over. “Let’s run away and leave everyone behind, we only need each other,” I said dramatically, putting one hand on his cheek and James immediately saw where I was going with it.
“Oh yes, you are everything to me,” he said trough giggles. I then put my thumb on his lips and we both leaned in, pressing our lips against my thumb and Charlie then pulled James away.
“Okay, that’s enough, that’s enough.” He said and we laughed at his red face. I cleaned my thumb with my sleeve and then leaned against James for support to keep myself standing.
He was my best friend since before we even started school. Our parents where friends and we where the very start of our friend group.
Millie joined us in kindergarten and in middleschool we met Luna and at the end of middle school, the twins where the new kids and we also adopted them in our group.
Charlie joined at the start of high school and last year he started dating Flora who we immediately accepted.
When the bell rang, we bid each other goodbye and broke up in a group of two, heading to our classes.
Lloyd POV
I had not received anything from Y/n since our hang out. Of course, I could’ve reached out too but the mission I had that I was called in for when we where hanging out, had been long and tiring.
It had kept me busy as we also still needed to handle things after the happenings. When it was done I had slept for about ten hours before being woken by Kai.
“Lloyd, I’m sorry, but everyone else is busy and I really need to go now to meet up with Skylor because I forgot our date and I have no one to cover my self defence classes.” I had groggily sat up and sighed.
“Yeah, fine, go. I’ll cover for you,” I yawned.
I already regretted going, because when I turned a certain corner, I saw Y/n leaned back against the locker, flirting with a guy before pulling him in and kissing him right on the lips.
I had walked on with clenched teeth and taught the first self defence class of the day. I had hoped to have Y/n in my class that day but was actually relieved when I found out I did not.
I walked home moping, kicking rocks on my way and muttering cuss words as I went.
As I entered the monastery and headed to the kitchen, I was met with Kai and Cole who where arguing about who could get the last piece of cake.
“Jeez, what happened to you? Where you floored by a student?” Kai joked and I looked up in a small haze. “What? Oh, no its nothing, I’m fine.” I said, walking past them to grab something from the fridge.
“If you say so, kid, but if you need advise, we’re right here.” Cole said and I gave him a smile before it fell and I headed for my room.
As I drank my soda, I decided that maybe I should train to get my mind of her, when my phone rang.
Incoming call from ‘my personal trouble maker’
I was about to hang up but stopped myself. No, I was being a dick. I ignored her already a few days ago, and now because I saw her kiss someone I was going to stop talking to her?
That was unfair, just because I liked her, didn’t mean she had to like me back and couldn’t date or kiss other people.
I took the call and pressed the phone against my ear.
“Hey,” I said and she chuckled on the other side. “Lloyd! Jeez, took you long enough, listen, I have so many things to tell you!” She said and it sounded like she was jumping up and down?
“Hm, is that so?” I asked a bit bored and she stopped her giggling. “Are you alright?” She suddenly asked worried and I cursed myself mentally.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I’m a bit tired, but do tell me,” I apologised and I could just feel her grin from the other side of the line.
Your POV
“Alright, so first of, sorry for not texting a lot has happened, I was threatened with a note or something? Well they where threatening my father with kidnapping me, but that was just a bit vague, though it brought lots of worry to my parents.” I started of, pretty excited to tell him the story.
“But anyway, now I have a bodyguard who follows me to the places I go which is cool I guess. Police are still figuring out what’s going on and all that sort of stuff.” I said and I could hear him splutter on the other side of the line.
“I’m sorry what? You where threatened with a note?” He asked in disbelief, worry in his voice. “Yeah, but it’ll be fine, the police will track them down in no time,” I reassured, even though that was never said by anyone, I just didn’t want him to worry.
“Wait but a bodyguard follows you around?” He asked and I chuckled. “Yeah, pretty cool, huh?” I asked and I heard silence on the other end.
“Wait but- you didn’t have a bodyguard with you today?” He said and I furrowed my brows. “Excuse me?” I asked and he stuttered on the other end.
“That’s sounds weird, sorry. I saw you at school, I covered Kai’s classes again.” He quickly explained. “They will stop next month, did you know that?” He said as if trying to change the topic.
“Why didn’t you come and say hi?” I asked, a bit disappointed at a missed chance to see him. I heard an unexpected huff on the other end of the line, making my brows furrow.
“You seemed busy,” he said rather bitterly and I was silent for a moment in confusion. “With what? What’s wrong?” I asked and it was now his turn to be silent.
“I saw you kissing someone, I thought I’d let you be,” he finally said and I cracked my brains. I kissed someoene today? Who did I kiss? What happened- ohh, James!
“Oh come on, that was just James, we where joking to piss of the couple of our group by fake flirting, my thumb was between that kiss,” I said with a laugh and I could hear him swallow on the other end.
“Really?” He asked a bit sceptical and I was about to answer before stopping. “Lloyd Garmadon, are you jealous!” I called him out and he stuttered on the other end.
“Oh piss of,” he said and I could basically hear his smirk. This boy is going to be the death of me.
I shook my head with a sigh. “If you’re so jealous, you can take me on a date if that’ll make you feel better,” I said and he chuckled on the other end.
“Are you asking me for a date?” He said and I grinned. “Actually, I’m asking me for a date so you don’t have to.” I said and he laughed.
“Alright then, I can see you tomorrow at the same restaurant we went to Monday?” He asked and a giddy smile spread across my face. “Yes! Yes I can’t wait,” I said, embarrassing myself with my over excitement.
“See you then,” he said and I quickly bid him goodbye.
When we hung up, I let myself fall onto the bed and kicked my feet in the air out of happiness. I had a date- of course I had had those before, but I had never developed such a huge crush on someone in such a short time.
I think I could call this the first time I ever had such a big crush.
I quickly called my girls and they did waste time in coming over.
“Damn, your security isn’t joking, we had to do a weapon check at your front door.” Luna said and I chuckled. “Yeah, dad is worried for everyone now, but it’s just basic procedure, it’s not like you are suspect or anything.
“Hmm, does you bodyguard know that? If looks could kill, I swear,” Flora asked and I shrugged. “Both our guards are high on edge since the threats started,” I said and Luna interrupted me.
“Hold one, threats? As in plural?” She asked worried. “Oh I forgot to tell you? Yeah another one arrived, but it didn’t have anything about me in it, so yeah,” I said and they bombarded me with questions… which I couldn’t answer.
“Hey, they barely tell me anything, it’s real unfair, you know?” I said and it was silent for a moment, but Amelia decided to wash away the bad news.
“Well, fuck that! Girl you have a date! Come, we need to find you some decent looking clothes,” she said and I scoffed at her. “You make it sound like I am not wearing decent clothes.” I said and she looked me up and down before shrugging.
“Hey! What is that supposed to mean? Millie!” She walked towards my closet ignoring me and Luna and Flora laughed at us.
I was trying in an outfit and they where judging if it was alright to wear while we made sma talk.
“But, didn’t you just met Lloyd?” Luna asked as she made a gesture to me to turn around, which I did.
“Well, it’s already been over two months, and like- the whole time we hang out it’s just constant flirting, it’s about time we go on a real date,” I said, looking in the mirror I was facing to check out the outfit.
“Jeez, it’s already been two months?” Amelia asked, dismissing the outfit and looking for a new one in my closet with the help of Flora.
“We should really go skating again soon, I mean it is October, then it’ll be more dangerous because everything is wet!” Luna said excitedly. She was one of those people always looking for danger and trouble.
“Here, try this,” Amelia shoved some clothes into my hands before her and Flora sat back down. “Honestly, I started skating around December and that was just scary, I only got better over the summer, now my progress will be gone again,” Flora complained.
We went on like that until we finally found a good outfit for me to wear to my date.
The next day, I was driven by my bodyguard who would be waiting for me in the car.
“Awe come on, Malcolm, you’re not giving me anything to work with,” I slumbered in the back seat as I was trying to pry information from my bodyguard.
“N/n, you know your father gave me orders not to tell you anything,” he chuckled and I threw my hands in the air. “Still! It’s unfair how I’m kept in the dark while I’m also being threatened,” I said and he shrugged.
“I understand that you might feel that way, but I was given orders, which I have to follow,” he said and I grumbled some cuss words.
“Language,” he said and I gave him a look. “Hey, your my bodyguard, not my babysitter,” I said making him grin slightly.
He had been working for my family since before I was born, I’ve known him all my life, he is basically like some sort of uncle.
He stopped in front of the restaurant and looked at me trough the rearview mirror. “Did you you need me to open your door aswel, madam?” I asked with a chique accent.
“I can do that myself, thank you very much,” I laughed, making him smile. “No funny business in there, alright?” He said and I gave him a look. “Don’t you be like that,” I said and stepped out of the car.
Lloyd was waiting for me at the entrance and gave me a smile when I came walking up.
“Don’t you look stunning,” he winked and I chuckled and rolled my eyes slightly. “You look great yourself, who helped you?” I interrogated and he rose his eyebrows in a cocky manner.
“Who says I haven’t decided on clothes myself?” He asked and I gave him a look. “Yeah, no I wouldn’t believe it either. Nya helped me,” he confessed and I smiled.
“Doesn’t surprise me one bit,” I said, before we headed inside of the restaurant. We where sat down at a table and given menu’s.
I didn’t even have to look at it, having already decided I would have the same as last time. He looked, before deciding to go with the carbonara.
When the waiter stopped by, we ordered and he took out menu’s again.
“You where driven here, I saw?” Lloyd said and I shrugged. “I wasn’t allowed to go by myself, but Malcolm will leave us alone, he’s just here for his guarding duties,” I said.
“I wasn’t worried,” Lloyd winked and I gave him a light kick under the table making him smirk.
The conversation carried on, we had a beautiful spot at the window and suddenly the conversation changed to space.
I was fascinated by some of his knowledge and happily talked along, being a huge astronomy fan.
“Don’t you find it weird that every moon as a name except ours?” Lloyd asked and I gave him an offended look, catching him of guard.
“Excuse me- her name is Yue and she is a kind, gentle, loving, lady!” I said and he gave me a weird look before a grin spread across his face.
“Was that an avatar reference?” He asked and I nodded with a huge smile at finding out he knew the show.
The remaining of the date went amazing, it wasn’t your normal date where you have awkward silences and weird questions, no it was fun and genuine.
We fought over who would pay the bill and had a good compromise.
“Alright, how about this. I pay now and you can pay for the next date,” Lloyd suggested and I smirked. “Ohh, is there going to be a next date?” I leaned on my hands, looking into his.
“Well, only if you want of course!” He quickly said, scratching the back of his head awkwardly and I chuckled. “Of course, yes sounds fun, I’ll be taking you to the most luxurious restaurant in town,” I said and he gave me a look.
“Or just a noodle house, whatever you prefer,” I waved my hand and he chuckled before waving over our waiter so he could pay.
After he had paid, we put on our coats and headed outside.
“Thanks for tonight, I had a lot of fun,” I smiled at him, tilting my head slightly to the side. “I had fun to, thank you to making me ask you out,” he said making me laugh.
“I’ll see you another time then?” I asked and he nodded. “Definitely!” He assured.
I hesitated for a moment before standing on my toes and kissing his cheek. His mouth fell slightly agape and his cheeks dusted pink. Mine did aswel and I took a small step back.
“Hey! What did I say? No funny business!” We looked at my bodyguard who had opened the car window.
“Fuck off Malcolm!” I yelled and he grinned as I shook my head. “I’ll catch ya later!” I said and darted towards the car.
When I closed the door and then the window, I glared at the man next to me. “Was that necessary?” I interrogated and he smirked. “Definitely, I told you no funny business,” he said and I grumbled as we drove off.
I was half asleep as we made our way home and woke up with a start when the car came to a sudden stop.
“What is that idiot doing?” Malcolm questioned and I sat up straight to watch.
There was a man on the road. He had a black coat and was wearing a hat, I couldn’t see his face and he walked over to the car.
Not wasting a second, Malcolm locked the doors from the outside and I saw his hand itch to his belt where he held a gun.
The stranger was at the front of the car and laid something on the hood of the car before running off. Neither of us saw what he had laid down and Malcolm unbuckled his belt.
“Stay in the car and I if say you have to exit you do so immediately,” he told me and jumped out of the car to see what the strange man had left.
He looked at it and his eyes narrowed. He dug in his pocket and took out a pair of plastic gloves which he put on.
He picked it up and- it was a note? Again?
He entered the car again and didn’t say anything, I looked at him but he didn’t look back at me.
“What does it say?” I asked, my voice shaking. “It’s another threat- god damnit I should’ve gotten out of the car,” he sighed and I shook my head.
“No, we don’t know what that guy had on him,” I disagreed and tried peaking at the note. With a sigh, Malcolm held it up to me.
Bold are you?
This is your last warning, if you don’t cut it out, you’ll never see your precious daughter again. And don’t think we are bluffing. I have eyes on her as I write this, and that bodyguard outside in the car isn’t going to do much.
My heart started beating faster. They had watched me as I was on my date with Lloyd…
When we got home, Malcolm immediately headed for my dad and I was ushered upstairs, being told to stay in my room and lock my window.
This was so stupid!

Hi there, may I please request something where reader and Eddie are dating and reader dreams Eddie cheated on them….you can choose where it goes from there?
Small blurb And it's of course angsty. Not proofread
Tumblr media
Watching the love of her life shove his tongue down her best friend's throat was something her body could never prepare to handle. The way his hands were under her skirt and Chrissy's hands were in the same hair she brushed through every night. Chrissy kissed the same lips that Y/N pecked shyly before bed. The sound Chrissy was taking out of Eddie's body was everything Y/N knew.
She woke up before the two could go further. A horrible feeling in her chest, rolling over to see Eddie sleeping soundly. She immediately reached out her hands, tracing her nails on his tattoos as she laid down her head
Reminding herself it was just a dream
~~
But now she's insecure and watching the two like a hawk. What if the dream was telling her something she didn't know?
She never once worried about her boyfriend and best hanging out. She trusted them but now the dream had her shaken up. What did they do during their deals? Did Eddie like her? Did she like him?
Her mind never rested and she's scared it won't.
~~
"baby you okay?" Eddie asked, standing at her locker
She went to answer him, then Chrissy walked up. A bright smile on her face, was it pointed just to him or both of them?
"hey guys! Eddie we still on for after school?" Chrissy asked, kissing Y/N's cheek as she waited for the response
"yep. I'll be there" he smiled, did he smile that way towards Chrissy all the time?
Chrissy left with a goodbye, to both.
"back to you, you okay?" He asked again, looking down at her softly, trying to read her face
"I'm fine!" She nodded, running off to class as fast as she could.
~~
She didn't want to be that girlfriend, but now she was. Sitting behind a tree as she tried to spy on Chrissy and her boyfriend. They laughed and smiled, but nothing she hadn't seen before.
Half their conversation was about her, and that made her feel guilty. A dumb dream shouldn't make her doubt her boyfriend and best friend. The two people in her life that wouldn't dare to hurt her on purpose.
~~
"here's your bag, and if you excuse me I have a girlfriend that is watching us from the tree behind you" Eddie laughed
Chrissy turned fast to see her best friend horribly hide behind the tree, laughing as she got up
"baby what are you doing?" Eddie laughed as he walked closer to the tree
Seeing her sitting with a shy smile on her face, a little embarrassed as she played with her ring
"I'm spying?" She squeaked out
"we can see that. But why?" He asked, grabbing her hand to bring her to her feet
Chrissy watched, silently waiting to hear what was going on, a small smile on her face as Eddie teased her
"I had a nightmare about you guys....making out and I got scared" she admitted, feeling even worse hearing it out loud. She really spied because of a dream. Threw out all of her trust because of a dream
Eddie and Chrissy's smiles dropped, they wanted to laugh but Y/N seemed so upset over it.
"I'm sorry, I know that's so stupid. I trust you guys, I just got shaken up" she apologized
Chrissy spoke first with a hand on her shoulder, "hey it's okay. I get it. Sometimes I think my dreams are telling me something. I understand you getting worried, but you could have told us. Trust me this weed kid, he's all yours!" Chrissy joked, happiness filling her chest when Y/N laughed
"so funny Chris!" Eddie mocked, rolling his eyes and focusing on his girlfriend
"you could have talked to me too, especially the night you had this dream. I get jealous all the time, it's normal. Hiding behind a tree, that's a tad different but yet kinda romantic?" Eddie laughed, kissing her heated cheeks
"well I need to go to practice" Chrissy bid her goodbyes and ran out of the woods
Now left alone with her boyfriend, she still felt guilty
"I'm sorry for not trusting you" she sighed out
Eddie waved her off, pulling her into a hug
"you're fine baby. How about I make you feel better? Show you exactly how much I only belong to you" a smirk on his lips as he kissed down her neck

“What the fuck is wrong with you, Tio?” You ask him, trying not to laugh too loudly as you watch him release his bloated stomach out to its full size, on the other end of the FaceTime call. “What are you doing?”
“I’m not doing nothing, man.” He answers. “I’m just pregnant, you know… like, three months in now… and it’s yours.” Suppressing a grin, he lets out a big, labored breath and starts to dance — bobbing up and down on his heels to the rhythm of his music, and bouncing his hand against the bottom of his stomach… like it’s some kind of sports ball. He looks so goofy, you just can’t help but to blow your laughter out through your nostrils.
“Yeah, yeah… whatever. Why can’t you just be normal on the phone, baby? I’m with my folks right now. Don’t make my parents think we got a kid on the way again. They’ll be on my case for the whole week.” Looking around the kitchen for any prying eyes, you lower your phone underneath the dinner table. “Act like you got some sense, Tio. Please.”
“I am being normal, man. I told you I was pregnant last week, before you left Cali, remember?“ As if he needs to double down on his false claim, he bloats his stomach out even farther, and pretends as though it’s hurting him. “We was at that Jamaican place by Fuego’s house, getting food, and I told you I was feeling it kick. Your kid was going crazy that day.”
“You ain’t say nothing to me about no baby, Tio… so, no, I don’t remember. Quit playing with me.” Again, you look around the room, hoping that none of your family members can hear your conversation.
“Okay, okay... I’m being so serious now. Real talk, I just ate a bunch today… and my gut’s kicking my ass right now. Some of the guys came over this morning, so we ordered a couple pizzas and grubbed. I think I did too much, honestly. I gotta go to the bathroom real bad. I been fighting it for, like, an hour.” His stomach still grossly distended — weighing heavy on his spine — he rests his hands on either side of the round mass, and eeks out a tiny fart. “Ugh,” he grunts, “that felt good.”
“Ew, baby! Go handle that… seriously. You know how you get when you eat greasy food. Nasty ass. I’ll call you back later.”
“Wow! You just gonna hang up on me like that? You not gonna come home and rub my belly? That’s actually fucked, man. You wrong for that.”
“Shit… I don’t care.” You reply, watching in disgust as his face twists into an excruciating grimace. “I’m not flying back home ‘til this weekend, Tio… and I’m damn sure not gonna stay on the phone while you use the toilet. You go do your thing, alright… and spray in there when your done. Seriously, I’ll call you back tonight… or probably tomorrow morning. My dad’s getting out some table games, so I’m probably gonna be up late.”
“Alright, man… whatever. Tell your people I said hi… and tell your pops he raised a bitch. I’ll hit you up tomorrow.”
“Mhm… okay.”
Another raunchy fart erupting from his ass like a drumroll, he grabs his phone and puts the call on pause. “Wait. Don’t hang up yet.” He tells you. “Say goodbye to your son first. I’m boutta go give birth… and you ain’t gonna get a chance to see him.” You hear the fabric of his shirt rustling against his screen for a brief moment… and then — without warning — the sound of his gurgling gut blares out from your phone speakers.
“What the hell is all that noise?” Your dad blurts, approaching the kitchen table with a stack of games in his hands. He looks startled… just as shocked as you are. Tio’s bloated belly is so loud — with the ‘baby’ working it’s way through his colon — you wouldn’t be surprised if the entire house heard it churning… even with your volume turned down.
“Fuck! Bye, baby.” You whisper, holding your phone to your lips. “Go handle your shit.” Without saying another word, you press the ‘end call’ button on your screen — abruptly concluding the FaceTime — and slip your phone back into your pocket. “Don’t worry about it, Dad. My phone is just acting up. Mom! Sissy! What game we playing first? I’m about to kick your asses!”

Art Murmur | KNJ
Tumblr media
❃ Festivaled Away: Summer Nights
Hosted by @bangtanbathhouse
⤞ Ticket: Namjooning ⤞ Main event: First Date ⤞ Games: Overstimulation; fingering; size kink
Pairing: Camp Coordinator!Namjoon x fem!reader; the hyung line also makes a brief appearance
Genre: Friends to lovers; fluff; smut
Rating: 18+
Summary: You and Namjoon have worked together for years. You've harbored secret crushes on each other for a long time but neither of you have had the courage to take the plunge. One summer, you decided that you've circled each other long enough.
Word count: 4,393K
Warnings: cussing; awkward flirting; some pining/light angst; clit play; breast play; BDE!Namjoon; fingering; oral (M-receiving briefly); dirty talk; protected sex; some manhandling; brief cuddling...(I think that's it?)
A/N: I apologize in advance...I was struggling a bit while writing Coquet 9 and took a break from it. And then Hobi's listening party at Hybe happened...aaaaand I just could not get over images of Namjoon so...this happened.😬 I stg, I love all OT7 but as my lovely betas @deepseavibez and @internetjunkdrawer pointed out--I'm always extra when it comes to my faves (Excuse me, ma'am...your bias is showing)😋
Also, Art Murmur is an actual event close to where I work. I just embellished on some of the details. Their date is also loosely inspired by an episode of Insecure from Season 4 where Lawrence and Issa walk through a local street art festival. I swear...the visuals and general cinematography on that episode are un-fucking-believable!
Anyway, I'll shut up now. Thanks to Madame Sophie @kookskingdom for the prompts! Enjoy!
Tumblr media
“Thank you! You guys take care!” You wave at the last kid who gets picked up from afternoon care at day-camp.
“Damn, I’m hella tired already,” Yoongi says.
“You’re always tired,” You chuckle at him while you put away the tablets from the reception area to charge them at the office. 
“Another summer for the books,” he says, rubbing his eyes. He nods and says goodbye to the younger counselors who clock out. You do the same, smiling as you bid them goodbye, telling them that you’ll see them next year.
“Hey!” Jin, your program director greets you. Yoongi automatically sits up. “Hey, boss,” he says, suddenly being all formal.
Jin laughs out loud. “I told you to stop calling me that. We all used to work together at some point,” he says.
“Yeah, but you’re the head honcho now,” you remarked, referring to Jin’s promotion after your previous program director retired.
“It still feels weird to me,” Jin comments. “Anyway, I’m just doing my rounds. I got back from Namjoon’s site and thought I’d check on you guys to make sure that there were no incidents today?”
“Nothing huge,” you said. “There were a couple of kids from the middle school age group who got into it a bit, but nothing that I couldn’t handle. Parents were called; reports were typed up and signed. Nothing like a bit of excitement on the last day of the program.” You shrugged. All in a day’s work.
“Okay, good. Are you guys headed to the field for the year-end party?”
“Not yet,” you say.
“Yes,” Yoongi answers. You turn your head sideways and look at him incredulously. “What? He asked! I’ve been waiting for this day to end,” He says, giving you an equally incredulous expression. Also, he was excited to be able to have a legally-sanctioned drink at the premises.
You turned back to Jin, who was laughing, taking it all in stride. “Did you need anything before we closed up?” You asked.
“No, but Namjoon and Hoseok are on their way down here soon. They wrapped up their ‘afternoon care’ early since all of their kids got picked up on time.”
Just then, Namjoon and Hoseok walk through the doors of your facility. You and Namjoon smile at each other. 
God, will you ever tire of those dimples? The answer is a quick but very firm ‘no.’
Namjoon is your counterpart at a different summer day camp location within the city. He was a site coordinator just like you, supervising camp counselors who help organize and facilitate youth group activities not just in the summer but all throughout the year.
You all exchange polite pleasantries. Hoseok goes to ask Yoongi about tonight’s festivities while Namjoon talks to Jin about completing the end-of-season report for his site.
When Hoseok turns to you, you offer to walk him to your storage closet to show him where you kept the supplies for tonight’s party.
“It’s cool, YN!” He waved you off. “I’m sure Yoongi and I can manage it,” Hoseok says with a wink. You made the mistake of drunkenly confessing to both of them years ago that you had a massive crush on Namjoon during a random happy hour. They haven’t stopped teasing you about it since.
Jin followed closely behind to make sure that there was enough food and utensils for his staff.
“So–are you uh…coming tonight?” Namjoon asks you.
“Yeah. A-are you?”
He nodded. This was the first time that either of you were coming to an end-of-year party where you were both single–or so you heard, based on Hoseok’s texts. It brought in a whole other layer of excitement to tonight’s celebration.
You stared at each other in silence until you heard Jin, Yoongi, with Hoseok huffing as he rolled a cart filled with equipment.
“Yah! I told you I’m not very physically able,” Yoongi argues. “Why didn’t you just take the big, beefy man to grab the stuff from the top shelf?”
Namjoon chuckled to himself. “Guess that’s my queue to leave,” he says. “I uh…hope we can hook up tonight–I mean–” he caught himself immediately, your eyes widened in shock.
“I meant ‘hang out’! I hope we can hang out tonight,” he grinned awkwardly as he rushed to help Hoseok with the cart.
Once he was out of earshot, Yoongi sidled up to you. “Mm-hmm–I think he actually meant the first thing. You know…when you think about it enough times, it just spills out!”
You give him a playful shove, reminding him that you still had to close out the system so you could file away your paperwork and finish out the year.
******
The party was in full swing. You made small talk with the rest of the staff, making sure that you made your social rounds before approaching Namjoon and Hoseok, who were hanging out by one of the firepits and having an animated conversation.
Namjoon sees you advancing towards them and he says something to Hoseok under his breath. Hoseok gives him a confused look until he sees you stop right where they were standing.
“Hey guys,” you greet them both with a smile.
“Hi and bye, YN. I have to go,” Hoseok says.
“Oh,” you said with a frown. “W-where are you going?”
“Uhh…I’m still trying to figure that part out but–I’ll catch you guys later.” He says before walking away. It wasn’t long before he found a friend from another site and started to chat them up.
“So–how was your summer?” Namjoon asks.
“Uhm–it went well, I think. Not many issues as in the past. How ‘bout you?”
“It was good. I have some staff leaving after this year,” he says sadly.
“Oh, no–I’m sorry to hear that. I know how difficult it is to find good people who are trustworthy.”
He nods in earnest.
Afterwards, an awkward silence falls between you two. You’re both usually chatty with each other at work or at off-site get-togethers. It was all very casual…but you were also typically around other friends or coworkers.
He finally decides to break the tension. “Uhm, so…I read somewhere that Jupiter and Saturn are supposed to be perfectly visible tonight.” He tilts his head back to stare up at the sky, searching.
You mimic his action for a bit trying to look where he is but you’re distracted by his neck. It’s so subtle but you catch a freckle right at the base of the left side of his neck–somewhere above his collarbone. That was a new discovery for you. He typically wore hoodies and jackets–and if he wore t-shirts during the summer, you rarely saw him anyway since the summers were always busy for both of you.
And here you thought you’d already familiarized yourself with all of his beauty marks. From the trio that sat atop of his left cheekbone, going down to the one right above his jaw…and your favorite one—right below the curve of his lower lip.
If you looked long enough, you’d find that you’d have your own little Namjoon-constellation. You thought about tracing the pattern…with your tongue.
“Do you want some more?”
“Uh, what?” You shook your dirty thoughts away.
“I asked if you wanted a s’more?” He pointed to the table that contained a few metal skewers, bags of marshmallows, chocolate bars, and graham crackers.
Flustered, you answered, “Oh—uhm, no, thank you. I’m fine,” you blubbered.
He grinned. “You know, there’s been something I’ve been meaning to say to you for a while.”
Your curiosity was piqued. “Oh?”
“Yeah. It’s something I’ve been wanting to say since that first day we did summer camp orientation.”
Now you were really interested. “And?”
“Just…how much I admire you. I thought it was really cool how you have this way with kids–like, you just have endless enthusiasm and patience even though you’d seen whatever it was that they were showing you hundreds of times already and still be really sincere about it. I don’t know how you do it.” He shoved his hands in his pockets and started to rock back on his heels. You thought about how ironic it was that he was being all bashful after singing your praises.
“You also motivate your staff really well–I mean…except for, maybe, Yoongi-hyung. But he doesn’t count since he’s an old-timer,” he chuckled. “There’s just that mutual respect there.”
You smiled at that. “Well…game recognize game,” you said, staring straight at him. “You have to tell me how you can command a room with just one look. I still have trouble with that sometimes because…let’s face it, some kids are just little shits.” He laughed, nodding in agreement with you.
“You’re also really creative with your programming. I don’t know how you come up with these enrichment activities and field trips. It’s hard to keep kids engaged these days.”
“Well, it also helps that I get to plan activities around things that I personally like to do…but, you know…on the city’s dime,” he smiles mischievously, before following it up with, “Don’t tell Jin-hyung!”
You laughed. “Your secret is safe with me.”
He chuckled softly. “Anyway, I didn’t think I ever had a shot with you.” 
Your brows lifted in shock at his sudden confession. “W-what?”
He snorted. “What? I’ve always had a crush on you.” He says nonchalantly.
That stopped you dead in your tracks. You look at him wide-eyed.
You both got your start as junior camp counselors several summers ago. You trained together and worked at the same site for a bit until you both ended up becoming full-time employees for the city’s parks and recreation services. 
You’ve always had a massive crush on him, too. How could you not? He was tall and good-looking. And when you got to know him better as you worked together, you found him to be even more attractive.
But…it seemed like you never really got the chance to get together. He went away for college in a different city while you stayed local. When he got back, he had a girlfriend. And when they broke up, you started seeing someone–until things didn’t work out. But then he started seeing someone else, and vice versa. The angsty cycle continued.
Your timing always seemed off. Until now.
“Uhm, say that again?”
He gave you a shy smile. “Ah, c’mon, YN. Don’t embarrass me like that.”
“I’m not, I swear! I’m just…in shock here. Give me a minute.” You turned away, mentally fanning yourself at his confession.
He groaned softly, worrying that he had ruined a good thing. “Sorry, is that weird? Are you getting all weird on me now? Shit, that wasn’t my intention. I shouldn’t have said anything,” he says all of it in a panic.
You started to laugh, turning your attention back to him. “Oh man…”
“What? I’m right, aren’t I? I knew it,” he says, shaking his head. “Such a dumbass,” he says under his breath.
When you calmed down, you sighed. “Oh, Namjoon–you couldn’t be more wrong if you tried,” you tell him. His head did a subtle bob–like whiplash, almost. He stared at you, as if trying to crack a code. When it came to him, his face lit up and a wide smile curved his mouth.
That smile did many things to you. You looked away again, unable to handle the butterflies in the pit of your stomach that have been slowly building up to a swarm since you sidled up to him tonight.
“Wait, so this whole time, I could have just asked you out?”
You smiled at him. “I mean…I had hoped you would at some point? But our timing was just terrible, I guess.”
He scoffed and looked down at his shoes. “Damn…I am such a moron,” he chuckled.
You gave him a small smile and shrugged your shoulders. “No time like the present, right?”
He straightened out and smiled warmly at you, regaining his composure once more. “You’re absolutely right. So, YN—would you like—“
“Yes,” you say immediately. You couldn’t contain your excitement.
“I…was going to ask if you would like a s’more.” His smile was teasing. You instantly smack him playfully on his chest, making him double over in laughter.
“I’m sorry,” he says as you both calmed down from your giggles. “Okay, seriously. Would you like to go out with me?”
You rolled your eyes and gave him the same answer. “Yes,” you say softly.
******
He met you at your place around 6PM on a Saturday, and you both took a rideshare to grab dinner at the food truck pod in the city–since neither of you could make up your mind about what you craved for. Although…you had other ideas about what you were craving for, the variety of cuisines sated both your appetites for now.
Your date was fairly chill. It felt awkward at first because you typically went out with your coworkers or common friends. But it didn’t take long before you both settled in. Conversation and jokes flowed naturally. You were friends after all.
After dinner, you headed over to a local street festival event called the Art Murmur, held on the first weekend of every month. A few blocks would be closed off by the city to make room for independent, local artists and merchants to not only showcase their work but to connect with the community as well. Namjoon has always waxed poetic about his love for local art and tried to support when he could.
You turned a corner and the place was buzzing with excitement. The narrow streets were adorned with string lights and colorful streamers above. Each booth had music playing and friendly faces ready and willing to talk about their work to anybody who would approach.
“I remember when this was all super sparse,” he remarked. “They used to have this event in a small banquet hall but word-of-mouth eventually got the city’s attention and full support.”
“That’s really great to hear. I love how there’s so much hidden talent right in our backyard.”
“I couldn’t agree more!”
You slowed to an artist’s booth that used mixed media on their work. One piece in particular caught your eye–a beautiful rendering of all the bridges from your locality.
“You like that one?” He asks you quietly.
“I do. I’ve never seen our bridges portrayed like this. I guess–living here for so long, you think of bridges as one more path of inconvenience to take since our area is so broken up and places are so far.” Also, rising bridge toll fees were just ridiculous. “But, bridges are a necessity, right? The purpose is connection–not just for locations but between people as well. Don’t you think so?”
You glanced sideways at him to find him staring at you intently…in awe.
It happened too quickly but even if he slowed down, you knew you wouldn’t dare stop it.
His lips felt plush, soft. Urging though not in a hurry. You don’t know how long you had imagined or hoped for this moment. Just as you had pictured before–it took your breath away.
“Uh–hey guys, were you interested in this piece?”
You both pull away, slightly embarrassed when the artist interrupts your brief makeout session in front of his art. You cleared your throats and tried to compose yourselves in front of this complete stranger.
“How much for this one?” Namjoon asked.
The artist names his price and while you see Namjoon pull his wallet out, you immediately stop him. He waves you off.
“Shush and let me get my girl a gift,” he says to you.
Your eyes widen at his sudden confidence. “Ooh–already?” You ask playfully while he hands the cash over to the artist, who excuses himself to wrap up the piece for you.
“I thought that was already a foregone conclusion?”
All you give him is a smile in response. It wasn’t like you were going to protest.
******
You invite him back to your place to hang out more since your roommate had conveniently also made plans to be out tonight. It was all very relaxed and chill at first but the energy in the air was still palpable. Pretty soon, you took things back into your bedroom since you couldn’t keep your hands off each other.
His fingers cupped your nape, tilting your head back at an angle that he wanted to deepen the kiss. You moaned when you felt his tongue swirl around your mouth.
He pulls away briefly. “Holy shit–I can’t believe I’m actually kissing you on your bed,” he said in a rush before he sealed his mouth over yours again.
“How do you think I feel?” you breathed out.
You caught a flash of that dimple before you pulled his face closer to yours to kiss him again. 
One of his hands slid around to cup your nape, while the other moved downward to your hip, giving it a squeeze. His touch made you hot in an instant, sending goosebumps racing across your skin. 
Inhaling deeply, you breathed him in. He smelled so good–a hint of cologne? Or was it soap? Anytime you were in close proximity with him, whether it was facilitating a group activity, gathering supplies for your sites, or plainly having a conversation with him, his scent was one of the many things about him that made you just a little unsteady on your feet.
Your body stirred, recognizing Namjoon as the one thing it desperately wanted. You reached up and pushed your fingers through the silky dark strands and tugged.
He pulls away briefly and brushes loose strands of hair off your face, then his gaze drifted down to where his other hand was gliding up your thigh and past the hem of your skirt. You gasp softly when he makes contact with your panties. Pushing them to the side, he slipped a finger carefully into you.
Your eyes shut at the sensation, building up your hunger even further.
“I want to feel you,” you say to him..
His mouth, that wickedly sexy mouth that could drive you insane, curved into a smug smile. “Do you, now?”
You wrenched away from his skilled finger and stretched onto your mattress, knowing it would entice him. When he growled low in his throat, you returned a smug smile of your own.
Catching you behind the knee, he pushed your leg up and to the side, riding your skirt up, sliding your panties down your legs.
He licked his lips. “You don’t know how long I dreamed of this…how many times I envisioned this in my head.”
You realized then that you would be sharing more moments like this moving forward, and you wanted them. “You still have too many clothes on.”
With a smirk, Namjoon straightened up to pull his shirt off and tossed it on the floor. When he went to work on the buttons of his jeans, you pushed up onto your elbows to watch.
A low hum of pleasure escaped you.
Namjoon paused, his brow lifting. He had that gleam in his eye that made your legs shift restlessly. He had such an understated sexiness that you silently vowed to acknowledge and show more appreciation for.
“Don’t stop,” you almost whined.
“I love when you look at me like that.” 
You caught your lower lip between your teeth. He always talked about how he recently got into working out in the last year–and clearly, his hard work was paying off. His golden skin stretched over peaks and valleys of muscle. You fought the urge to run your fingertips over every inch of him...to lick him like your favorite dessert...make him feel how much you wanted him.
“Oh my god, you’re so hot,” you wondered aloud.
“You don’t look so bad yourself.” He sealed his mouth over yours, his tongue licking and gliding.
Greedily, your hands ran all over his chest, shoulders, and abs, tracing every plane and groove. He couldn’t help but chuckle softly into your mouth as you apparently grazed over a spot where he was ticklish. “Sorry–if you can’t tell, I have also fantasized about this way too many times,” you breathed. “I just–” You were at a loss as you ogled at his body.
“I’m on that sexual-frustration workout. Since I couldn’t have you then, I just spent a lot of time at the gym…plus, the wet dreams were killing me.” He caught your wrist, guiding your hand past his waistband to cup his straining hardon.
Well, that certainly took care of your lingering questions about what he’s been hiding underneath those shorts that he frequently wore to work.
"Well, I'm here now," you smiled at him. He tugged at your hair, his fingers sifting through it. Your eyelids grow heavy, senses hyper-focused on the desire radiating off him. Desire for you. 
You fumbled with the zipper on his jeans, pushing the halves aside to discover black boxer briefs. He was hard and ready, the tip peeking above the waistband. Precum pooling, your mouth watered–beckoning you to push the elastic past his hips.
You wanted him inside you...now.
You wrapped your hands around his length and stroked, it made you hot and wet as he was. Your pussy was slick, clenching at nothing, aching to be filled by him. Leaning forward and dipping your head, you stuck your tongue out and tasted him.
He hissed through his teeth, cursing under his breath. He reaches down at his back pocket to retrieve a condom, reluctantly moving himself away from your greedy mouth.
“Next time. For now, I need to be inside you,” he muttered, grabbing you by the waist and flipping you around, folding you face down over the edge of the bed.
Shoving your skirt past your hips, he cupped the back of your knee in his hand and pushed your legs apart to open you up. “I’m not sure if I can hold back so…I’ll apologize in advance,” he said huskily. His knuckle brushed against your folds, and a shiver ran down your spine. 
You felt his warm skin covering your back, his hands pushing underneath and past your bra to cup your breasts. He gave your ass a firm squeeze before he pushed himself right in between.
You moaned and squeezed your eyes shut, relishing the feeling.
“Fuck, YN,” he ground out between clenched teeth, withdrawing and pushing deeper. Slow, easy thrusts that worked himself into you with every lunge. He groaned and gripped your circling hips, holding you down as he fucked his way deeper. “You feel so good.”
Your fingers clawed at the comforter. Your eyes opened blindly, your lips parted to fill your lungs with air since he kept knocking the wind out of you at every thrust. You fought against his steady hold, wanting him harder, faster. Then, you caught movement in the corner of your eye and saw yourself reflected in the full-length mirror that you had next to your closet.
Your walls contracted around him in response, trying to pull him into where you needed him. Namjoon’s head turned to follow your gaze and he stilled, taking in the sight of him hunched over you.
The image looked straight out of a porno. You, pinned and looking fully clothed, bare ass up in the air; and Namjoon’s abdomen tightening with the force of a thrust, his biceps flexing from the kneading of your breasts, his chest glistening with a fine layer of sweat.
His mouth curved mischievously. “You like watching me fuck you?”
To prove it, he withdrew and thrust again, his entire body tightening as he sank further into you. You whimpered. Your walls sucked greedily at him, your nipples tightened painfully against his palms.
“Oh, yeah, you do,” he purred in that low, devilish tone.
Your eyes stung with tears when your orgasm hit, sucking the air out of your lungs, causing spots in your eyes–blurring your vision. A long, drawn out moan escaped from your mouth–a mix of pleasure, relief…maybe even some gratitude?
Namjoon growled and lost control–just as he had warned you earlier. Fucking you hard and fast, surging deep, cursing under his breath. He came, bridging your orgasm with ragged groans as his body shook.
You couldn’t see, couldn’t think. Nails raked across the sheets, instinctively trying to pull you away from the flood of sensation, but he kept his firm grip on you while his hips continued to slowly pump, emptying himself into you.
He slowly pulled out while you collapsed bonelessly onto your bed. After he discards the condom you feel the mattress dip as he draws you close to him.
“Holy shit,” he finally managed as you both came down from your high.
Holy shit was right.
After a few deep breaths, your heartbeat finally steadies. “So, what you’re telling me…is that—we could have been doing that this whole time?” You ask jokingly.
His laugh was husky from his orgasm. He held you for a while, his fingers sifting through your hair and gliding gently down your arm.
“Like you said, right? No time like the present.” He pressed his forehead against yours and you both grinned. He kissed you again.
You tilted your head to deepen the kiss. Licking into his mouth, teasing him. It wasn’t long before he started to grind his hips into you, making you all achy and wet once more.
He groaned as he pulled away. “How much time do we have left before your roommate gets back?”
“Not long but she knows that I’ve wanted this for a while. She told me that she can always put headphones on if we get too loud.” You answer him quickly before kissing him again. You’ve annoyed your roommate to no end, talking about Namjoon and how you wished the stars would align already and that you’d get together at some point.
When you told her that you had a date with him tonight and planned on bringing him back to your place, her only response was, ‘Is two hours enough?’
His laugh reverberated against your mouth and chest. “Alright well—next time we’ll go to my place. We can keep making up for lost time and you can be as loud as you want.”
“Oh my god, Joooon,” you all but moaned and bit your lower lip in anticipation.
He hummed. “Keep saying my name…exactly like that.”

Wednesday
 “Alright guys, keep your focus. Another two percent,” the raid leader, Dean, better known in game as DWImpala, called over the voice chat. The only thing that could be heard over comms was the steady click-clack of key presses for spells and attacks. The numbers steadily decreased, chunks of the boss’s health falling off as the eighteen players gave their all.
The boss went down and everyone cheered, congratulating the lucky players who got loot and lamenting that they didn’t think the stupid horse existed since another week had gone by without a drop.
“Alright, I’m calling it here for the night,” he announced to his guild. “Next week we’re going to do a full clear, then go on raid break until we get new content.”
Players said their goodbyes and logged off the game and the voice server, leaving their officers alone.
“So, uh, I’m going to be out next week,” Scuttle announced. She was the healer lead and the few people who knew her well enough called her Y/N.
“Oh yeah? Hot date?” Demonfall, a DPS known as Ash, teased.
“Out of town for work, sadly,” she replied with a sigh.
“Anywhere fun, at least?” Dean questioned, disappointed that she’d be gone. She was great at her class, sure, but he’d also developed a bit of a crush on her.
“Not unless you count a tiny town in Kansas as fun,” she scoffed.
Dean’s heart skipped a beat when she said Kansas. He’d grown up there, hell, he still lived in Kansas. He knew the odds of her coming to his tiny town were slim. 
But if he were honest, he wasn’t even sure he wanted to meet her. His crush was probably nothing; he didn’t even know what she looked like. But she was an awesome person from what he could tell.
He was vaguely aware of continuing conversation between the other two people but he wasn’t paying attention. His mind had gotten lost in fantasies and what ifs, trying to come up with a reason to find out more about what she did and where she’d be just to get a glimpse of her. He knew it was creepy to manipulate the conversation for information. So he kept his mouth shut.
The sound of a user disconnecting snapped his attention back to the present, his heart falling at the thought that he’d lost his chance to talk to her more. But when he saw that they were the only two left in chat, his mouth went dry.
“De? You still there?” she asked.
“Oh, uh, y-yeah,” he stuttered and cleared his throat. “Sorry, I kinda zoned out after you mentioned you were coming to Kansas.”
“Coming to Kansas? Is that where you are?” she questioned eagerly, anxious to get some kind of information from the private man she had started to have feelings for.
“Yeah,” he confirmed, “Lawrence.”
“You’re kidding,” she deadpanned, unable to believe what she was hearing.
“Uh, no,” he replied, confusion evident in his voice.
“That’s where I’ll be. If you have some time one day, maybe, if you want, you can show me where to get a decent burger?” Her voice held a lightness, a hope that he’d accept.
“I’d love to,” he answered enthusiastically. She’d been the first one to ask. She actually wanted to meet him.
“Really?! I mean, I’m there all week so it’s whenever you’re free but that would be amazing,” she babbled.
“So when are you getting in?”
“Sunday evening. I’m driving down and should be there somewhere around 5 or 6,” she informed, doing the math in her head about what time she needed to leave and how long the drive was.
“Okay, well how about we meet up Sunday evening? I can take you out for a late dinner,” he offered. 
“That sounds great,” she agreed with a smile evident in her voice.
“Awesome. I’ll DM you my number and you can just text me when you’re close?” Dean suggested as he typed his cell into the chat box.
“I’ll text you from my phone so you can save my number, too. Just make sure your girlfriend knows who I am,” she chuckled.
“No girlfriend, sweetheart,” Dean clarified, “but you make sure your boyfriend is cool with it.”
“Yeah, about that,” she said softly, “we broke up two weeks ago.”
“What? Scuttle, why didn’t you say anything?” Dean scolded.
“I don’t know. I mean, it’s not like I was in love with the guy. So what if I caught him in his car with some redhead? It’s not a big deal.” Her voice contained a venom that Dean never wanted to be on the receiving end of.
“Where does this guy live?” Dean practically growled, anger at the man who treated her so badly burning in his chest. 
She laughed then, a sweet giggle that doused the fire and diverted his attention.
“I’m serious, sweetheart. Say the word and I’ll take care of him,” he repeated.
“That’s sweet, De. But I’m fine, really. It’s getting late, though, and I have to work tomorrow and pack. I’ll see you Sunday?”
“Five minutes more?” he pleaded.
“Five minutes,” she confirmed.
Sunday
Five minutes turned into an hour. That hour turned into texting back and forth over the next few days, nearly all day long, and talking every night for hours. By the time Sunday came around, Dean was sure that he was falling for her. 
As sure as Dean was that he was falling hard, so was she. Her ex had said that she cared more about that game and people she’d never met than him. In hindsight, he may not have been wrong. He was still a dick, though.
She texted Dean when she was leaving home and starting her drive. He smiled at his phone before slipping it back in his pocket and sliding back under his car, whistling as he worked. It was just a simple oil change and he was done in no time, deciding to wash and detail the car while he had time. 
He sang along to Metallica as he dried the water, not realizing that he had a smile on his face until Benny walked over from next door.
“Wha’s gaht yah smilin’ like dat?” he teased in his thick Cajun accent.
“Nothing. I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Dean quickly denied.
“Who’z dah guhl?” 
“What girl?”
Benny fixed him with a look, letting him know that he wasn’t buying it. Dean sighed and Benny smirked, knowing that he’d won that battle.
“Okay, so you know how I’ve told you about that girl I game with, Scuttle?” Dean started.
“Oh yeah, tha one you sweet on,” Benny replied.
“I’m not five, Benny. I’m not ‘sweet’ on her.” Dean rolled his eyes and Benny laughed before Dean continued. “Anyway, she’s coming to town for work and I’m taking her to dinner tonight.”
“You gonna tell Cher yah like her?” 
“No. I mean, I don’t really even know her. She doesn’t even know me. And she just broke up with her boyfriend because she caught him cheating on her.” Dean returned to his work polishing the chrome trim on his car, pretending to ignore his friend standing behind him.
“Dean, she jus’ broke up wit’ her boyfriend. Don’ you think’ tha’ you should say somethin’ before some otha man does?” Benny chided as he shifted to see Dean’s face instead of the back of his head. “Girl like dat won’ be lonely long, brotha.”
“Jesus, Benny. Can’t I meet the girl before you give me the speech?” Dean whined as he stood up, his phone pinging in his pocket. He pulled it out without breaking eye contact with his friend, then looked down to see a message from her. He opened his phone quickly, finding a picture of a sign advertising Lebanon, Center of the Continental United States - 50 miles.
“How long?” Benny asked, not giving any other context.
“About an hour,” Dean replied without thinking, typing out a message and slipping his phone back in his pocket. He cringed when he realized what Benny had asked and saw the smug look on his friend’s face.
“Ah’m gonna go. See yah at work tomorrah. Gonna wanna hear all ‘bout th’date.” Benny strode away to his yard, leaving Dean to finish up the car and get ready to go out.
Tumblr media
She texted Dean once she’d checked in and told him where she was. When he responded that he was on his way, her palms started sweating and her heart started pounding. She tried taking deep, calming breaths but nothing was helping the nerves.
A knock sounded on the door and she froze, panicked that he was already at the hotel. She was second guessing everything from her wardrobe to her hair to even meeting up with him. Another knock echoed through the room and she moved towards the door automatically, taking a deep breath as she turned the knob and pulled the door open.
Her breath caught in her chest when she laid eyes on him for the first time. There had to have been a mistake. There's no way this is…"Dean?" she asked as she met his gaze.
"Yeah," he confirmed with a wide grin. "It's nice to meet you, Y/N."
“Wow, I…you look nothing like I pictured,” she blurted out, quickly following up with “that’s not a bad thing! I just didn’t expect…you know…a model.”
He chuckled at her candor, ducking his head while the tips of his ears turned red. “You flatter me, sweetheart, but you’re the one who could be a model. I knew you’d be gorgeous but I didn’t expect to have the wind knocked out of me.”
“That’s sweet, De,” she giggled. “Do you want to come in? Five minutes and I’ll be ready,” she told him as she backed into the room.
“Yeah, five minutes. No problem,” he replied.
Tumblr media
Dean took her to a small diner where they had burgers and pie, laughing and talking until they were the only two people left in the restaurant.  It was still early so they opted for a ride around town with the windows down, the cooling air blowing around in their hair as Dean drove down quiet roads.
He kept stealing glances at her, drawn to the way the moonlight surrounded her in an ethereal light, making her glow. He pulled down a dirt road and turned off the headlights, letting the full moon be his guide. 
“Is this where you kill and bury me?” she joked as he parked the car.
“Nah,” he chuckled, “this here is the best part of Lawrence.”
Dean stepped out of the car and walked around to her side, opening the door and offering his hand to help her out of the car. He kept a hold on it as he started to walk through the trees ahead of them.
She followed him quietly, trusting him completely. They stepped through the trees and she gasped at the sight before her. 
Inside a quiet clearing was a small pond, barely big enough for a boat to float comfortably.  Moonlight reflected off of the water, sparkling as the small waves moved in the breeze. A little dock led to a small gazebo over the water. 
Dean took her to the gazebo and she looked around in awe; the roof was made of a clear material, allowing her to see the stars shining in the sky. Thick benches lined the walls of the wooden structure, a waist-high railing surrounding the edge, the rest of the space open, allowing the cool breeze of the night to pass through.
Dean watched as she took in the space, her eyes wide and her jaw slack. He knew this was the right spot. It’s where his brother took his wife for their first date, where Benny took his fiancee’, where his parents had their first date. The hope that something could bloom here lifted his heart and drove out the nagging thoughts of her leaving again. 
She turned around to face Dean, finding him standing next to a pile of blankets and pillows that she was sure hadn’t been laid out when they got there. He reached out his hand and she accepted it, following his lead and settling into the soft mountain to watch the stars. 
As the pair talked and laughed, they drifted closer to one another, lying on their sides facing each other when Y/N started to yawn.
“We should get you back to the hotel,” Dean told her quietly.
“No, no, I’m fine,” she insisted. “Five minutes more.”
“Five minutes then we head back,” he promised.
“Five minutes.”
Monday
Dean woke to sunlight streaming in his face and a heavy warmth across his chest. He stretched, thinking he was in his bed, only to be met with wooden planks surrounding him. Memories of last night came flooding back and his eyes fluttered open to find Y/N sleeping soundly on his chest, still in the gazebo over the small pond. 
His gaze had found a home on her peaceful face and he stared unabashedly, counting the barely there freckles across her cheekbones, admiring the way her lashes brushed her cheeks, resisting the urge to trace the soft lines around her mouth and eyes. She began to stir and cuddled closer to him. 
Dean prayed she couldn’t tell how fast his heart was beating beneath her ear in her half-awake state. His arm tightened around her, holding her close. He closed his eyes and wished for time to stop, to be able to stay in this moment forever. His hopes were dashed when his phone started vibrating in his pocket, the alarm he had set for work blaring through the silence.
Scuttle groaned and swiped towards the sound while Dean fished in his pocket for the offending device. He turned it off and gave his attention back to her, pressing a kiss to the top of her head.
“Hey, sweetheart, it’s time to wake up,” he coaxed, his hand trailing up the arm tossed over his chest.
“Noo, five more minutes,” she mumbled as she wiggled next to him.
“Five more minutes,” he agreed quietly, a soft smile gracing his face, the possibilities of the upcoming week shrinking under the impending end of their fling. He would enjoy the next five minutes of her in his arms as if it were the last.

SafeHouse || Third Year - One
Masterlist
Tumblr media
September 1st 1993
"Oh my darling girl, I've only just got you back after four years and now you're going again, I've missed my baby" My mother, Molly Weasley, sobbed whilst she squeezed me in a bone crushing embrace.
"Mum! We're gonna miss the train" My Twin Brother, Ron Whined.
"Oh Hush Ronald, even if you did, its not like that would stop you from getting to Hogwarts" Mum glared at Ron as I stepped out of her embrace and she gave another hug to the other Twins, most likely threatening them if they misbehaved.
I snorted a laugh, remembering what Ginny told me about Ron and Harry's joyride in Dads car last year, but that was the best part as she caught me up of the events that occurred, I could only imagine how much that would've affected my little sister.
Ron shot a glare at me in a way of saying "you better shut up or I'll make sure you wont be able to find any of your class's"
"Ronald, you better look after Keira and help her, you should remember how hard it was for you on your first day at Hogwarts" Mum lectured Ron as Harry walked back over to us after having a chat about Merlin knows what with Dad, probably muggle related.
"Yes Mum, I know, but we really have to go!" my twin pouted, again.
"It's okay Mrs Wealsey, she has Harry and I to help her out as well" Hermione smiled as she gently nudged my side.
"Yes of course, off you go all of you and have a wonderful time, and behave!" Mum waved us off as we gathered up our luggage and made our way onto the Hogwarts Express.
"Wait! Ron! Don't forget Scabbers!" Mum called as she reached up with Scabbers held in her hands.
Ron reached through an open window to grab him from Mum, We then waved and shouted out goodbyes as the Train departed.
Percy was the first to leave us as he made his way to the Head Boy and Girl compartment. Then Ginny as she spotted some of her friends in her year and it was just Fred, George, Hermione, Ron, Harry and I.
Fred and George helped Carry some of my luggage as they were winking at some of the girls in their year, making a right show out of it as if they were big strong men, which they are not.
"Guys, come on, lets go find an empty Compartment" Ron nodded at us as he walked down the corridor full of students.
Fred and George had already left with their friend lee Jordan, when we eventually found a compartment at the end of the train, there was a man sat inside, he looked to be sleeping as he lent his head on the window, I noticed how his clothes were shabby wizard robes, he had scars on his face and light brown hair with specks of grey.
"Who'd you reckon he is?" Ron hissed as we sat down and Harry slid the door shut, Ron, Harry and I squashed up on the opposite seat, Ron making me sit at the window so he didn't have to sit right opposite the man, as Hermione took the other side, making sure to sit farthest from the window
"Professor R.J. Lupin" Hermione whispered.
"How'd you know that?"
"Its on his case dumb arse" I sighed as I smacked Ron across the head and pointed at the mans luggage.
"Ouch" Ron rubbed his head as he glared at me "wonder what he teaches"
"that's obvious" whispered Hermione "theres only one vacancy isn't there? defence against the dark arts"
"Oh yeah, Mums crush was the last one, wasn't he?" I joked "can't believe he obliviated himself like an idiot"
"well I hope he's up to it" said Ron. "He looks like one good hex would finish him off, doesnt he?"
"Don't be so rude, you don't look like you could handle much either" I said to him.
"Anyway ...what were you going to tell us?" Ron said to Harry, his back facing me.
Harry glanced at me before looking back at Ron and Hermione
"Sorry, do you want me to leave or something?" I asked him, feeling quite awkward
"Oh- n-no, its fine" He blushed.
He then went into detail about Mum and Dad's fight and what Dad had told him.
How bloody important was this kid? From what I've heard something has put his life at risk every year, was he made out of gold?
"Sirius Black escaped to come after you? Oh, Harry ... You'll have to be really, really careful. Don't go looking for trouble, Harry"
"I don't go looking for trouble, trouble usually finds me."
"How poetic." I said
"How thick would Harry have to be, to go looking for a nutter who wants to kill him?"
Well four for four, right?
"No one knows how he got out of Azkaban, No one's ever done it before. And he was a top-security prisoner, too."
"But they'll catch him, won't they? I mean, They've got all the Muggles looking out for him, too ..."
"I mean, Muggles hasn't exactly stopped him before" I thought out loud.
"Whats that noise?" Ron said
"your brain working perhaps? maybe its overheating" I said "Ow, I'm joking, wait I hear it too"
There was a faint whistle noise somewhere in the compartment.
"Its coming from your trunk, Harry" Ron told him. Standing up and Reaching into the luggage rack.
"Oh, I forgot you bought that" Ron had Pulled out the Pocket Sneakascope from Harry's Robes.
"Is that a Sneakascope?" Hermione asked
"Yeah ... mind you, it's a very cheap one,  It went hay-wire just as I was tying it to Errols leg to send it to Harry"
"I always knew there was something off with that Bloody pigeon, hes very suspicious"
"Were you doing anything untrustworthy at the time?"
"No!-"
"Mum said he couldn't use Errol because he doesn't do well on long journeys"
"How else was I supposed to get Harry's present to him?"
"Could've just waited until you saw him next, instead of putting Errol at risk"
"You just said there was something suspicious about him, and called him a pigeon"
"That literally proves nothing, what is your point?" I asked him
"Stick it back in the trunk, Or it'll wake him up" Harry said, pointing towards Lupin.
"We could get it checked in Hogsmeade" Ron said, sitting back down "They sell that sort of thing in Dervish and Banges, Magical instruments and stuff, Fred and George told me"
"Do you know much about Hogsmeade? I've read it's the only entirely non-muggle settlement in Britain-
"Yeah I think it is" Ron cut Hermione off
"Hey! don't be so rude" I told him off.
The three of them talked about the history of Hogsmeade, Honeydukes and how Harry can't go because of the stupid Dursleys. I zoned out until Ron had a fight with Crookshanks.
                                   •
We were all enjoying food from the trolley when our compartment door slid open once again.
Three boys occupied the space, the platinum blond with the side parting was clearly in charge as he stood in front of the two meaty boys, if I was being honest he seemed really handsome, but by the change of vibe in the atmosphere I could guess they were not friends of my brother and his friends, I looked up at them curiously as the blond boy sneered at Harry
"well look who it is" the boy said in a lazy drawl "potty and the weasel" his body guards chuckled like a pair of trolls, I could already tell I was going to hate this trio.
"I heard your father finally got his hands on some gold this summer, Weasley," he laughed again "Did your mother die of shock?"
My twin shot up like a rocket, resulting in him knocking Crookshanks basket to the floor.
Professor lupin gave a snort and we all snapped our heads to look at him
"who's that?" The blond asked as he took a step back
"New teacher" Harry said as I got to my feet in case I had to hold Ron back
"and who's that?" he asked again as his eyes landed on me
"I could ask you the same thing" I told him, still confused why he was here as it was apparent no one liked one another
"Malfoy, Draco Malfoy" he introduced himself "and now you"
"none of your business Malfoy, piss off" Ron spat at him causing me to grab his upper arms to hold him back and Harry standing to help me.
"Bond, James Bond" I said, which made Harry and Hermione chuckle, clearly getting the muggle reference from a set of books. But the others just stared at me in confusion
"your parents named you James bond? isn't that a boys name?" Malfoy asked, scrunching his face up as if he could smell something terrible.
"No you idiot" I deadpanned. 
Lupin made another noise
"whatever freak, C'mon" he muttered resentfully to his friends
"whats his problem?" I asked as we took our seats again
"Keira, He's a Malfoy, they're all the same, arrogant bastards" Ron glared and Massaged his knuckles "I'm not going to take any rubbish from Malfoy this year," he said angrily. "I mean it. If he makes one more crack about our family, I'm going to get hold of his head and-
"Ron," Hermione hissed at him.
                                   •
"We must be nearly there" Ron said, leaning on me to look out the window
"Get off!" I pushed him, the words barely left my mouth as the train started to slow down
"Brilliant" my brother cheered "I'm starving, I want to go to the feast"
"your always starving" I rolled my eyes
"Like you can talk much" he said
"we cant be there yet" Hermione furrowed her eyebrows "so why're we stopping?"
call it pathetic fallacy if you will but as the train got slower the rain and wind got louder and heavier. The temperature dropped to minus numbers and it got terribly icy.
Harry, being closest to the door, peered his head out, me and Ron leaning out to look down the corridor to see other heads poking out the compartments.
The train came to a halt and the luggage fell of the racks, something thing landing on me and Ron, the lamps and all source of light went next
"whats going on?" Ron asked from behind Harry
"ouch!" Hermione gasped "Ronald! that was my foot!"
Harry moved out of the way to sit down "do you think we've broken down?"
"dunno"
"i'm gonna go look, maybe find the trolley witch and ask whats going on" I told them as I stepped past Ron, halfway out of the door
"Be careful alright, come back soon" My Older brother by nine minutes told me.
"you worry too much" I shook my head as I felt around the corridor and reached into my pocket to pull out my wand and whispering Lumos, a small ball of light illuminating on the top of my wand, but anything was better than nothing.
something walked into me causing me to take a step back
"ouch, sorry" a boys voice spoke out
"its alright" I smiled at him and shone my light so I could see his face then stepped past him as I continued down the corridor, what didn't help was that I was in the dark and I had no idea who anyone was, I couldn't even spot; Ginny, Fred & George or even Percy.
Brilliant thinking, Keira!
I continued down the corridor until suddenly someone grabbed a hold of my wrist and yanked me into an empty compartment.
Hey no fair, where was this when we were looking for one earlier?!
I yelped in pain and shock as whoever the person was slammed shut the compartment door "hey what the hell-
"shut up!" a voice whispered as a hand was clamped over my mouth and my eyes went wide.
"now you don't look like a first year, and I would be confused why you would be associating yourself with, weaselbee, Mudblood and Saint Potter" I could tell by his voice this was the boy I met recently. Malfoy "so i'm going to ask you again, who are you?" he took the hand off my mouth but kept a firm hold on my wrists.
"whats it to you? I dont even know you" I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion
"because, if Potters got a new member of his little trio of hero's I want to know why a new student is joining Hogwarts to be there" he told me
"who I am and why i'm here, is none of your business or concern so just-
"Potters fainted!" I was interrupted as kids in the corridor started shouting as the lights turned back on and the train started moving once again.
I shoved Malfoy out of the way so I could go see what had happened.
Little did I know Malfoy was actually following me.
I pushed past the other kids to reach my compartment door and slid it open.
Walking in, I saw Harry lying on the floor and Ron & Hermione sat on either side of him, the boy who bumped into me on my way out earlier, Ginny and Professor Lupin
"What happened?!" I gasped
"Harry passed- Whats he doing here" Ron snapped ,when he looked up from Harry to see Malfoy stood Very close behind me
"what? I dont know, Malfoy piss off will you" I turned to look up at him, fuck Ron for getting all the height
"oh Merlin, Potter fainting, this is amazing" he laughed, looking down at Harry one last time, I assume getting mental pictures, then he brought his silver eyes up to lock on my blue ones it was like I was frozen in place and his stare was the only thing I could think o-
"buh bye Malfoy! horrible seeing you, make sure to not see us for a awful long time" my brother interrupted as he grabbed my upper arm and pulled me more into the compartment, sliding the door shut. "stay away from him, I mean it Keira!" he pointed a finger in my face
"piss off Ron, I will, hes a self centred prick" I ripped my arm out of his grip and sat next to the boy "Keira Weasley" i stretched my hand out to him
"W-Weasley? you and Ron are related?"
"Yeah, she's my little sister" Ron shrugged as he sat down next to Harry again.
"by nine minutes" I said, glaring at the back of his head, then faced the boy again "but yeah, we're twins, I transferred here from beaubaxtons
"oh, okay, hi, im Neville Longbottom" he shook my hand
I looked over to the corner to see my little sister shivering and letting out sobs, Hermione and I made our way over to sit with her and comfort her to make sure she was okay.
We arrived at Hogwarts ten minutes after. Apparently everyone in our compartment were Gryffindor, and were all expecting me to as well as they observed my black robes, no pressure.
"Of course she's going to be in Gryffindor, Keira's a Weasley after all" Ron told our friends, slinging an arm around my shoulders as we walked to the carriages.
"You're a Weasley?!" Ron and I turned around to see who shouted that, just to see Malfoy stood there with his jaw on the floor gaping at us like a goldfish
"Yes" I said in more than a question "Isn't that obvious" I said, pointing at my bright red hair.
"what how?!" His eyebrows shot up
"she's my twin sister" Ron spat at him "piss off Malfoy" then he turned us around and continued walking off.
                                 •
"Uh, so I have to walk in after the first years to be sorted? why cant i just do it in private, not in front of the whole school?!" I gaped at Professor McGonagall
"Its tradition" she deadpanned "now off we go, I think they're ready for you" she all but pushed me through the Great Hall doors, it felt like all heads were turning around to look at me, maybe it was just nerves, hopefully it was just nerves.
"ah yes, our final student to sort for the night, transferred from Beauxbatons Academy. Weasley, Keira" announced McGonagall.
I turned around to look at McGonagall who was just talking to me.
In confusion I walked up to the stool and sat down, gulping as all eyes were on me, some whispering about who I
was, why there was another Weasley and some jokes along it.
I tried to drown it out and looked over to where all my brothers and my sister was sat as they smiled up at me in encouragement.
McGonagall placed the hat on top of my head, it quickly falling down past my eyes.
I took deep breathes as the Hat spoke "Another Weasley, mhm, it should be Gryffindor, But, you're different, your ambitious, yet courageous, witty and loyal, determined and creative, cunning but kind. Well well well, it ought to be SLYTHERIN!" the hat announced.
I sat there in shock as my eyes went wide, I was the first and only weasley in slytherin, Gryffindor erupted in cheers until they had heard what the hat had actually said and they all froze, especially my siblings, everyone looked confused and surprised.
I took the hat off my head and placed it on the stool, with legs like lead I slowly and carefully made my way down to the Green table with all eyes still on me. Sitting myself down the furthest from everyone.
Professor Dumbledore gave a speech but I didn't hear a word as I kept my eyes on a loose thread on the table, hearing the whispers and mentions of being a blood traitor and that I didn't belong here.
It was a while after everyone was eating and I could still feel Malfoy and his friends eyes on me, when I felt a hand grab my upper arm and all but drag me out from the table and to the doors of the great hall, It was Ron, with Harry and Hermione in tow, we were in an empty corridor when he finally let go
"Ron what the hell?!" I snapped at him
"Slytherin?!" he barked
"what was i supposed to do?! I didn't ask for that!"
"You could of said no! Harry did" he pointed at Harry
"hey leave me out of this" he put his hands up in surrender making us both glare at him "wow you really are twins" he mumbled
"Keira you cant be a slytherin, You're a Weasley, we're not Slytherins!"
"well maybe im not like you Ronald!"
"you're gonna turn out just like them, their all evil-
"Ron!" Hermione warned him
"not a single one of them are good, and your going to be the same"
"Ron" I gasped, hurt visible on my face
"whatever Keira be careful" he turned back to the hall and shook his head.
Harry and Hermione both looked at me with sympathetic faces, then walked off to follow my brother.
I stared at the spot he stood for a while thinking about what Ron had just said.
I didn't have the energy to go back in the Great Hall, my first day at Hogwarts turned out to be horrible.
I wondered around the castle for a good few hours as I tried to find anything that would give me a sign as to where the slytherin common rooms were to find my dorm.
I should of took Hermione up on her offer of giving me a tour and quiz. I was sure I was going up completely the wrong way as I walked up to where I guessed the astronomy tower was as I found myself on a balcony at the top of the castle.
It was beautiful, and peaceful. I gave up on ever finding where I would have to go and decided to lie down, staring up at the stars.
                                      •
"What are you doing?" A voice startled me, causing me to sit up and look at the person, Malfoy.
"Lost" I said as I lay back down
"so why are you here?" he sat down next to me
"were you following me?" I looked up at him with a raised brow
"no"
"is it true?" I asked him
"whats true?"
"is everyone in slytherin a bad person, will I turn out to be a bad person?"
we sat there in silence, neither of us saying a word, until Malfoy stood up and reached his hand out for me "come on"
"what?"
"its past curfew, we have got to go to our dorms" he told me "before Filch the caretaker, and a squib, catch's us."
"Oh, okay"
He led me to the dungeons and to the entrance of our common room as he muttered a password.
"Salazar"
we walked in and he steered me up to where the dorms were, pointing at a specific door.
"Look for the empty bed, that is most likely yours, Good Luck Weasley". he said before entering the door opposite the Girls dormitories, I'm guessing thats the boys.

Unbreakable Ties 6: In A Heartbeat
Tumblr media
idol!Jaehyun x OC
Genre: Childhood Friends to Lovers; slow burn; angst
Note: After a long hiatus, I am back. I am sorry it took long. I will try to update more.
Tags: @yincotton @26zcl @ahtisa02 @joepomonerof @painted-hills @ukiyoneo @ourbeautifulaffair @wintersoulwarrior
Jung Jaehyun is a persistent man. If he says he will do it, expect results. That attitude catapulted him into stardom. As much as his attitude is desirable, Eunhye is hating it right now.
Jaehyun rushed to his car after the call. Saying goodbye to his mom and leaving her with the poor plant. Now, he is being cooed by her younger cousins and elders of the family. It became Jaehyun's fan meeting.
Apparently, her younger cousins are NCT fans while the elders are big fans of his dramas. Albums were signed left and right. Jaehyun enthusiastically entertained them and everyone congratulated you for pulling a guy like him.
In which Jaehyun replied, 'It's the other way around. I am the luckiest to have her.' Jaehyun said it brightly with his dimples showing. She almost forgot that they are pretending.
Just like their middle school and high school days, Eunhye watched him to be admired by everyone. He really has the star quality even kids are drawn to him.
"If Auntie Eunhye is your girlfriend, then can I call you Uncle?" Jaehyun lowered himself to be at eye level with her niece.
"Of course! I can be your Uncle Jae." The kid giggled and asked to be carried which Jaehyun obliged. A pain struck to her heart. That could be her son.
'You made the right decision.' She reminded herself. Eunhye carefully listed down his achievements in her mind and reminded herself that Jaehyun wouldn't reach those if things didn't go as she planned.
One night, one mistake shouldn't ruin his life. Eunhye knew Jaehyun worked hard to debut. Call her a martry or dumb but she would do it again in a heartbeat for her bestfriend.
Jaehyun saw the change of emotion on her face. He brought down her niece and went to her.
"Are you okay?" She nodded and tried to blink her tears away. Jaehyun noticed her tired eyes. "Should we go home?"
Eunhye nodded as a reply. They bid goodbye and made Jaehyun promise that he will come visit again. He happily agreed while holding her hand tightly.
"You shouldn't make that promise." Eunhye said once they are inside his car. She knew it was wrong to lash out to Jaehyun if he doesn't know anything.
"When did I break a promise?" Jaehyun scoffed when he sense her biting tone. She looked at the window while silently wiping her tears. Eunhye remembers how he will drop or do anything he can if she needs him. "You shouldn't be talking about promises if you ask me."
And it breaks her. Every pieces of her heart shattered. "Can you drop me off at my old house?"
She changed the topic. Jaehyun sighed as he failed to address the elephant in the room.
Once they reached her old house, they both alight from his car. Eunhye insist that she could handle it but Jaehyun stayed.
When they turned on the light, it was nothing compared to the bright and homey feeling of their childhood. Everything is so dim and lonely. Eunhye inspects each box trying to find something in the middle of the mess.
She smiled with loneliness. Eunhye brought it to Jaehyun and he noticed immediately what inside the box. His brows furrowed abruptly.
"Someone already bought the house. I won't be able to take everything so--"
"You are erasing everything about me." He held the box tightly. The box that contains their pictures, his gifts, and letters to her for every birthdays.
"Jaehyun..." She said his name lowly.
"11 years, Eunhye. For pete's sake, I waited for 11 years and this is all I got. Not even an explanation?" Jaehyun put down the box and turned his back to wipe his tears then faced her again. "I tried to contact you. Called your number, sent you thousand of message in facebook which you never opened, spoke to our high school friends, and even asked your college friends and professors but they all don't know."
Jaehyun rarely gets angry or cry but right now he is fuming angry and crying. She just stood in front of him calm as a sea but storm raging inside.
"Is it because of that night?" Jaehyun asked as this is the only reason he can think about.
"Why should we talk about something that happened a decade ago?"
"Stop ignoring my questions. I waited and lived miserably for 11 years without you." Jaehyun brushed his hair in frustration. "Do you know how it hurts to wait for someone you love when you never know if they will come back?"
Some people get their love confession in flattering way but Eunhye got hers in an argument. Eunhye blinked at him again and he groaned. She can hear him cursed himself for having the worse confession.
"We live in different worlds, Jae." He looked at her upon hearing her call him in his nickname. "We are meant to drift apart. You have the whole world in your palm and my world will be in Canada."
"And if I leave everything and come with you?" Eunhye felt her throat is hurting and eyes stinging from preventing herself to cry.
"You worked hard for all of these."
"For what? All of these but without you." Jaehyun laid his heart to her. Eunhye smiled bitterly hearing those words. Her early 20s self will never believe that she will hear those words years later.
"Don't destroy yourself for this." She said with finality. Eunhye picked up the box again and gave it to Jaehyun. "Leaving you still one of the best decisions I made."
Eunhye bought the earliest flight the next day. Fearing that she will crumble if she stays within Jaehyun's vicinity. Just like 11 years ago, Jaehyun woke up the next day confused. He went to her airbnb and to her old house but he couldn't find her. It's a repeat of his nightmare and he doesn't if he will be able to recover from this heartbreak.
2016
It hasn't been a year since Jaehyun debut as an idol under a group called NCT. Eunhye also started college that year in Seoul. Despite being in one city, they can't find a common availability to meet.
Jaehyun is in the middle of recording for their first mini album when his phone rings. It shows her name but he already told Eunhye that he will be recording so he declined. The phone rings again and for the third time he answers.
"Eunhye, I'll call in a bit. I am recor--"
"Hello! Is this the guardian of Lee Eunhye?" He freezed upon hearing a stranger's voice say her name. "You are on his emergency contact.
"What happened?" Jaehyun tried to be calmed but even his leader so him fidgeting and asked through sign if he is okay.
"Vehicular accident. She got a fractured arm but we will run more test to see if anything is wrong."
Jaehyun didn't waste anytime. He apologized to the producer and his teammates but he promised to give his best next recording.
When he arrived to the hospital and saw you lying in the bed of emergency room, he felt his knees weakened.
"What are you doing here? Your fans might see you."
"That should be my question. What are you doing here?" He put on a brave mask in front of her.
"Dumbass driver forgot to step on his break." Eunhye winced when she tried to move. Jaehyun immediately called a nurse just to check her.
When the nurse is gone, Eunhye laughed that made him frown because nothing is definitely funny about the situation.
"I can't believe we finally found a time to hang out and it's in an emergency room." Eunhye laughed in the absurdity of her thought but Jaehyun made a promise to himself to make time for her even if they have a busy schedule.
On that day, he realized that he will do anything for Eunhye in a heartbeat.

🗻 Legion x Reader headcanons 🔪
🗻 Frank Morrison x Reader 🔪
When you were a kid, you lived in Calgary and you were friends with a neighbor boy whose name was Frank. You knew that there were problems in his family, so you often spent time in your apartment. You talked a lot and sometimes he even spent the night with you. Your parents didn't know about it because he always managed to hide from them. You couldn't say goodbye to him when he was taken away and you didn't know exactly where he was supposed to live now, but even years later you didn't forget about him
You were fifteen when you moved to Ormond with your parents. For the first few years your life there was completely normal, but everything changed when one day you saw a guy about the same age as you on the street. Your eyes met and you froze. You'd recognize those eyes anywhere. It was Frank. He's changed a lot since the last time you saw him, but you've grown up too. However, he recognized you too. Frank was genuinely glad to see you after all these years and he didn't want to part with you again
You began to spend a lot of time together. You knew he was talking to guys who were younger than him, but it didn't bother you. You spent a lot of time together again, but now there was flirting in your communication. You liked each other and started dating pretty quickly. He was the one who hugged you and kissed you regardless of where you were and who saw you. He didn't hide your relationship from his friends and even your parents couldn't stop you from being together
When Frank asked you to spend time with him and his friends at the lodge by the mountain, you agreed. You were a little late, but when you arrived, you didn't find Frank or his friends. You only found the dead body of a man. You were worried about Frank and wanted to start looking for him. You didn't even notice how the thick fog began to creep up on you. You didn't know where Frank was and didn't even suspect that you would meet him very soon
📼 Julie Kostenko x Reader 🔪
You and Julie have known each other for several years. Initially, you started communicating at school and at first you were just friends, until Julie began to have romantic feelings for you. She wasn't going to wait for your initiative and was the first to ask you out. She was the one who suggested you to date. You couldn't resist her pressure, but you were totally okay with dating her
You went to parties together, listened to music together and when she met Frank, you spent time with their company. You saw that Frank was interested in Julie, but you weren't going to let him take her away from you. Frank retreated, not intending to compete with you, even though he had such a desire. However, he wasn't going to ruin your relationship
You knew that Julie became involved in the adventures that Frank arranged. You were worried about her and only because of that did you also agree to take part in them when Frank proposed to you. You didn't want your girlfriend to get into trouble. You didn't care that you were breaking the law. If Julie was safe, then everything was fine
You saw how her hand didn't waver when she killed a man, but you weren't afraid to take the knife when she handed it to you. The five of you were bound in blood and now you had no way back. When you and Julie saw the strange fog, you felt her take your hand. You squeezed her hand a little, showing that you were there and that she had nothing to worry about. As long as you were together, you could handle anything
🎧 Susie Lavoie x Reader 🔪
You and Susie have been dating for several years. Some thought you were the perfect couple and some were waiting for you to break up, but it never happened. Susie genuinely loved you and even Julie's rare jokes could not spoil her mood when she was going to go on a date with you
When she told you about a strange guy named Frank, you felt uneasy. You weren't sure that talking to him could end well for Susie and your friends, which is why you tried to be with her every time they spent time with Frank. He was not against it, saying every time that the more of you the merrier, but your fears were confirmed when he began to drag you into not the most legitimate adventures
You protected Susie from possible dangers. You didn't really care that you yourself could be in danger, but you couldn't let your beloved girl get hurt. You took on all the hardships protecting Susie. Sometimes your friends joked about it, but you didn't care as long as you remained a knight in shining armor for Susie
You were with her when the five of you killed a man. You were clutching a knife together. You were ready to share with her all the difficulties that you had to go through. Then you didn't notice the strange fog that began to approach you. You didn't know yet that you were going to spend a lot of time together
💀 Joey x Reader 🔪
When you and Joey met, your communication did not start in the best way. You often argued and swore, even though you spent time in the same company. You had mutual friends, you studied together, but you always found reasons to quarrel. Julie often joked that you need to finally start dating and not beat around the bush. She was just teasing you, so when you really started dating she was surprised
There was a lot of passion in your relationship. You often quarreled and quickly reconciled, even when it seemed to others that you would break up after all. Sometimes you had moments of tenderness, but they didn't happen very often. However, Joey's feelings for you were sincere and he tried to show them to you. He took care of you and protected you even if you were in dangerous situations together
He felt annoyed when Frank convinced you to join them. Joey didn't want you to have serious problems, but he couldn't talk you out of it either. You were determined. You weren't afraid to be in danger and Joey tried to be there to make sure you were really safe. Sometimes you quarreled with him because of this, but you always quickly reconciled because neither you nor he wanted to part
When the five of you were tied up in blood, Joey understood that you were going to spend a lot of time together. He didn't know if you had plans for the future, but he knew that there was no point in them now. However, neither you nor he even guessed that the fog approaching you could make it so that you would spend much longer together than you could imagine

"I've never been to the Internet Archive before.." Abyssal mutters softly, eyes twinkling with amazement as she strolls in with CPU by her side. He smiles up at her, clearly endeared by her amazement.
"Only accessible through the Hub," he informs her with a hum. "The Browsers were strict about that."
"Browsers?" She blinks.
"You know, Google, Firefox, those guys." The older Admin answers as they get to the large doors. He pushes them open with practiced ease, and she follows him inside. "They have their own spaces they govern, but this is the one place they all have a hand in."
Abyssal nods as she follows him, marveling at the grand library. Large bookshelves with what she could tell were filled with many reports. She didn't really envy those who had to write it down.
"Is this a part of your job?" She asks. "I thought you focused on all the capturing and stuff."
"This is an unofficial part." CPU shakes his head. "My job entails termination on the spot, Abyssal. Crash handles capture and recapture, while Antivirus handles those bigger threats fit for Computer Hell. I handle those that needed to be terminated on the spot since Crash doesn't really have permission to terminate."
"So.. I've been doing similar to Crash? Except I've been bringing Worms's viruses to Computer Hell or similar?" Abyssal asks.
"Pretty much." He nods, waving to some Archivists.
"Feels like I'm one of you guys now," she jokes, "with how I'm doing that and universe clean ups."
"It fits you." He says simply, making her look surprised before he waves down a Program. "RAM, over here."
"Oh, C-CPU!" The program is a blue ewe, though with horns akin to a ram's. With a green sweater and skirt flowing as she floated over, hooves gently clack as she stands on the ground. Her eyes shift over to Abyssal, and momentarily, her expression falls. "O-oh.. is this..?"
"This is Abyssal," CPU spoke quickly. "A very good and close friend of mine, and one of the younger Admins at the Adminspace. Abyssal, this is RAM. She's the Lead Archivist here at the IA."
RAM blinks. "She is.. a lot taller than you."
"I've been getting that lately.." Abyssal smiles sheepishly, rubbing the back of her neck. She glances at all the command boxes around RAM, a bit shocked.
RAM claps her front hooves together, smiling. "We-well! What do you need?"
"Just entering some new data about Viruses." CPU waves his hand, and some data boxes appear. They float over to RAM, and she nods gratefully.
"Thank you so much!" She smiles before glancing away shyly. "Uhm.. is there.. anything else I could help you with?"
"No, thank you. Have a good day." CPU waves goodbye before turning and walking off. Raising an eyebrow, Abyssal waves goodbye as well and follows.
"Why'd you end the conversation so quickly?" She tilts her head. "She seemed nice."
"Only because you were with me." CPU sighs. "RAM.. she's a good Program, don't get me wrong, kid. But she's just.. she's clingy and way too affectionate. She keeps trying to flirt with me, too."
"But you're single?" Abyssal tilts her head more.
The older Admin drags a hand down his face and mutters something softly before looking up at her. "Look, the bottom line is, I just don't like her like that. She's not my type, and never will be. So I always keep it short with her."
"Ooh.." The younger Admin nods, following him out of the Internet Archive building. "Okay, I get it."
"Good." He stretches his arms before sighing. ".. you feel up to seeing the others?"
Abyssal grins. "I'm not the one suggesting it! Yes!"
CPU snorts, though there's a smile on his lips. "Don't let it get to your head, kid."
"No promises!"
