ASTROBOOT’S MASTERLIST | THIRSTWORLDPROBLEMS' MASTERLIST |MOON KNIGHT MASTERLIST

Painful is an understatement.

If you had to describe what your period felt like to an alien who had no understanding of human biology this is how you might describe it:

Imagine a battalion of tiny sumo wrestlers duking it out inside your uterus.

Imagine a never-ending game of tag between a horde of stomp-happy elephants using your stomach as the running ground.

Imagine the two allegories combined, but multiple it with three, and imagine having it every month from the time you're a young adolescent until (if you're lucky and god is merciful) it will end when you're in your fifties.

As you lie in your bed, curled up with a hot water bottle tucked to your lower belly, and whine into your pillow, you are convinced that this is some kind of divine punishment. You must have been bathing in virgin's blood to retain youth in a past life. Because you don't know what else you could've done to deserve this. And if you weren't, then if there is a god in heaven, they had better beg for your forgiveness when you get there.

"Want me to make you a cuppa love?"

You drag your face from where it's buried in the pillow to peek up at Steven's worried face.

Big brown eyes gaze down at you with so much concern, he must think you are on your death bed. He's been taking care of you all day. Pampering, coddling, and fussing over you.

He's been refilling your tea before you have time to even empty the cup. Reheating the hot water bottle every twenty minutes before it even has a chance to drop in temperature.

It's incredibly sweet. But you're so tea-ed out at the moment, you think 90% of your body composition is tea at this point.

"'m good."

He frowns, biting down on his lip, and you can sense his worry from bed. "If you don't want tea maybe some hot chocolate? I can even toast some marshmallows on top and I have a packet of biscuits."

You consider his generous proposal for a second or two.

In all honesty, you feel too sick even for chocolate, but you have a feeling that turning down chocolate will truly make Steven think you're dying and try to call the ambulance. So instead you answer, "that sounds lovely Steven."

His whole face brightens up, and he leaps to his feet and darts towards the kitchen.

You close your eyes to the raucous sound of pots and pans being pulled out. In the background, the sound of something crashing clanks out from the direction of the kitchen. It's followed by Steven's familiar comforting voice cursing "bugger" and "oh no," but you're too tired to check for yourself what's going on, as you drift off to sleep.

In your dream, you're wrapped in a comforting warmth. There's a gentle pressure on your stomach and limbs that takes all the pain away. Strong and tender, all at once, you want to linger in this sensation forever.

It's not forever, of course. But your nap lasts long enough that you get a bit of respite from the pain. When you wake again, it's to the distinct smell of burnt sugar lingering in the air.

Strong hands traverse over your hips and stomach, kneading at your sore and aching muscles with a perfect pressure that feels like heaven.

He's sitting at the foot of your bed, with a posture so upright, it's almost militant. The man doesn't need to open his mouth with his Chicagoan accent for you to know it's Marc who's sitting next to you right now.

"Where's Steven?" you ask.

"Put him on a time out. Nearly burnt down the place, trying to torch some marshmallows."

You smile at the image Marc is painting for you. That explains the burnt smell.

"How are you feeling," Marc asks. His hand roams from your stomach to the plane of your thighs. It has everything tingle pleasantly inside of you.

"Better," you tell him. "It feels really good when you do that."

His hand stills for a second, eyes drifting to his own hands. "Want me to keep going?"

You barely have to nod before he starts up again. Large hands covering the insides of your thighs as he presses down with just the right amount of strength.

The sensation spikes across your nerves and rides up your spine until the tense knot in your stomach that has been terrorizing you all day unfurls.

You gasp at the sensation, back arching into his touch for more. "There, there, don't stop."

It's maddening how good it feels. Marc knows your body like a map of a continent that he's explored every corner of. His hand drifts ever so slightly, fine-tuning his touch that has your eyes rolling to the back of your head.

It's the relief you've been begging for all day. Each press of his hand erasing the blunt ache that's been digging into your flesh since you woke up this morning.

That large hand of his, smooths over your bare stomach. The sweet warmth of it soothing any leftover pain that is still there until he cups over the soft fabric of your underwear and replaces it with an altogether different ache that has you squirming and squeezing your legs together.

His hand stills. "You want me to stop?"

"No!" you shout, louder than you intended or expected.

You clutch at his wrists to keep them on you. You're pretty sure that if Marc stopped touching you, you'd combust and die from frustration on the stop. Pretty sure that whatever the equivalent of blue balls is for ovaries is about to descend upon you.

"No, I just..." you flounder for a minute, not entirely sure what to say. Face warm as you say try to find the words. You don't know why the thought is so mortifying to you.

"I'm on my period." You manage to mutter out.

Marc cocks his head to the side, one eyebrow raised. He looks genuinely puzzled at what you've just told him. "I know...so?"

"It'll make a mess," you tell him, and you don't know how he's so casual about this. God knows your neat-freak of a boyfriend hates a mess. "I don't want to ick you out".

Ick him out? Why do you sound like a kid on the playground talking about cooties?

There's no worry in Marc's eyes as he observes you. None of the big round doe-like eyes of Steven. His eyes are narrowed, honed in on your face.

"Fuck the mess," he says.

There's a simmering heat in his voice as he says it that makes everything between your legs slick and achy as he leans even closer to you. "I want to make you feel better. You okay with that?"

You nod and the tip of his fingers skirts the edge of your panties before slipping inside. Despite your earlier embarrassment at the idea, your breath stutters with anticipation.

You're so fucking wet. Slick and hot, as his thumb presses down and has sharp electricity crackle down your spine. You find yourself spreading your legs wider for him, and Marc is more than happy to take it as an invitation.

Two fingers slide inside you, filling you perfectly, until you realize you feel a slickness trickle down the heel of Marc's hand.

"Fuck, Marc-- wait, it's--" you squeak in alarm as you feel it drip between your legs. "It's gonna get on the bed."

He doesn't stop, fingers continuing its languid pace on your clit, as he keeps stroking it to the pace of his liking. His mouth is on your neck, hot and humid as he murmurs into your skin.

"You really think a little blood is gonna keep me out of that pretty little pussy? Open up for me baby, let me take care of you."

And god...

You do. Of course you do, you'd do anything Marc asks and wants from you when he speaks to you in that tone and register. Your legs spread even further, tilting into his doting touch as he slides his fingers deeper.

Heat simmer all along the length of your spine, brandishing it with pleasure that has you struggling for breath.

His other hand comes to cup your face, while his fingers are still busy circling and gently strumming at your clit. He makes it seem so effortless as he does it.

There's no hesitation in his movements, two fingers bracketing your clit and he gently slides and teases you there that has that all familiar warmth already furling in your lower abdomen. Insistent and never rushed, you feel his fingers everywhere, until he brushes over something devastatingly good that has your vision go white for a brief moment.

"That's it baby, you're alright. So good for me, you don't have to think about anything else. All I need is for you to feel good. Come on my hand," his voice rasps in your ear.

Smooth and calming. Loving and commanding.

You don't stand a chance.

It's all it takes.

You drown in it, your climax claiming your limbs as the sensation streaks down your legs and wraps around your bones. You shake and jolt in his arms but he holds you there to him, not letting you pull away as you squirm away from the overstimulation and makes you ride the high against the palm of his reassuring hand.

He comforts you through it. All gentle caresses and soothing hushes as he presses his soft lips on your forehead.

"That's my good fucking girl."

Through the haze of your bliss, you reach for him. One finger hooking onto his belt to drag him closer.

You're too out of it to fully register what you're doing or properly express what you want. All you know is you want more of him. More of Marc. More of his sturdy firm weight on you. The warmth of his skin pressed against you. Of him, inside you.

"Want my cock baby?"

You nod, and much like before, Marc immediately complies.

He always does. Never does deny you of anything.

One hand comes to the front of his jeans, and you don't have to wait long for him as he pulls himself free of his jeans. Cock hard, and jutting up proudly that has you salivating at the sight of it.

Gripping his cock in one hand, Marc kneels over you, notching the fat tip against your entrance. The moment you feel him, you forget about any shred of hesitation you had just moments earlier about making a mess.

Because right now you don't care if you ruin Steven's sheets and leave a crime scene behind you. Every single thought in your mind has been replaced by the overarching need to have this man inside you.

He leans over, arms bracketing you in as he presses into you, stretching you, inch by perfect, beautiful, fucking, inch that has you seeing stars even in the daylight.

You feel him everywhere, every slow thrust and cant of his hips pressed so deeply into you, you're not sure you can breathe. You cling to every inch of him, legs wrapped around his waist, not wanting to let go but not sure you can take more of him either.

Full, you feel so fucking full.

"Too much?" Marc asks, eyes examining you, making sure you're alright.

You don't know how to answer him. It is a lot. So much, with all of him, every perfect inch of him filling you to capacity. It's too much and yet you want all of it and more. Want more and want him to never stop. So you tell him exactly that.

"No. Don't stop, don't stop," you beg. "Keep fucking me, please."

One big, warm hand settles low on your stomach, before it wanders, brushing teasingly through your folds and oh-so-gently over and around your clit until you think you might scream.

You bite down on your lip, worried that if you actually do scream, he'll stop out of worry. You squeeze your eyes tightly shut, trying to calm yourself but it only makes it all the more intense.

Behind closed eyes, the pleasure surges through your chest, and you can feel every careful and calculated movement that Marc makes as he slowly drags his cock out of you, until only the fat head rests inside you. Then he pushes back inside again, just as slow and it has tears stinging your eyes.

Slow and thorough. Deep and controlled. He's murmuring in your ear the whole time, his voice low and rough.

"Relax for me baby," he tells you, "I'm gonna take care of you like I always do. Fill your pretty pussy with my cock until you feel all better, okay?"

Better doesn't begin to describe it. You feel good. Feel so good you're overripe with pleasure that seems to be bursting along the seam of your skin.

The hand on your stomach, presses and holds you in place as you start to squirm against him to goad his fingers to where you need them.

But even when he complies, giving you what you like he always does, zeroing in on your clit, his caresses stay light and gentle. His thumb barely brushes over you, as he keeps the pace agonizingly slow and soft that have you shivering and shaking in his arms.

The taunting pleasure builds ever so slowly in your core. The light and teasing touches too much and not enough all at once, and your oversensitive, overwrought cunt clenches and flex endlessly, squeezing down around the thickness Marc’s cock.

You can feel his body jerk over yours each time, and you revel in the soft grunts and gasps you’re driving from him, because surely, surely now he’ll let go and fuck you fast and hard until you're crying.

But he still doesn’t. Doesn't lose control. Just presses gentle kisses to your shoulder, murmuring over and over again. "It’s okay, I got you, Going to make you feel so good".

He says it like a promise. As if he isn't already doing exactly that. He's making you feel so fucking good. So good that you can hardly stand it. So good that you're writhing in his arms, clutching and clawing at his arm and hand and wrist, not sure if you're trying to push him away or pull him closer. But it doesn't matter, he might as well be a stone statue for all the hope you have of moving him anywhere he doesn't want to you be yet.

You can feel the all too familiar tension in his body. Those strong thick thighs as hard as iron between yours. You swear you can feel the furious pounding of his heart where you're pressed back against his chest. Or maybe that's your own pulse pounding loud and frantic in your ears, but it doesn't matter, because you know he's close too.

"Fuck you feel so good," he murmurs into your skin and if you didn't know better you'd think he sounded shaky.

The pleasure builds, streaking up your torso in little lightning bolt pulses that tighten your nipples to achingly hard little points and steal the breath from your lungs.

The heat of Marc's body against you is unbearable, his hot breath and lips sliding over your shoulder, your neck, the curve of your jaw, and all the while, his fingers, those clever, competent fingers keep up their slow, ruinous circling, driving you higher inch by devastating inch.

You can't breathe anymore, can't see, can't think to the point you're pretty sure you can't feel your feet. Do you even have feet anymore? The only thing that's grounding you is the security of Marc's arms wrapped around you, the quiet cadence of his voice, whispering low and soft and still oh so sweet in your ear.

It's too much. Everything in you winding higher and tighter, filling you so full of pleasure that you swear you'll burst, but somehow still you don't. Can't. You need–

You clutch at Marc, gasp out a garbled sound that might be his name. You want to tell him that you can't stand it, that you need more, need all of him, everything that he has to give, but you've lost the ability to speak.

Instead, your body tells him for you, your cunt squeezing down around him, and refusing to let go. All of you drawn tight, tighter, tightest.

There's a breathless, "Oh. Baby. Fuck." in your ear, and Marc's hips jerk against you. Just once, the tiniest upward hitch. But it's enough. It's more than enough.

The unbearable, blissful tension holding your body hostage shatters, and wave after wave of unparalleled rapture roll though you, sharp and sweet and endless. The breath you didn't think you had left leaves you in a loud keening cry, that's echoed by a low, pained groan, and you can feel Marc's cock swell and pulse as he spills inside you, unable to resist the calling of your body's climax.

You ride out your orgasms together, your hips grinding needily into his, his fingers gripped harshly into your flesh, until the seemingly endless pleasure finally releases you both from its grip and you collapse back against Marc's solid bulk.

The arms around you relax, his clean hand smoothing over your belly and thighs. His voice hoarse and low, but still so, so syrupy sweet and gentle as he reassures you that you're okay, that he's got you, that he'll always be there when you need him.

You're boneless against him. Arms lying limply by your side on the damp mattress. Every bit of tension wrung out of you, like an old flannel that been wetted and twisted dry one too may times; worn out, but warm and cozy and relaxed.

"Feeling any better?" Marc asks eventually, arms tightening ever-so-subtly around you.

You don't have it in you to answer him with words, but you manage a small, contented giggle, snuggling back further into his embrace and tilting your head back to nuzzle his jaw.

That seems to be enough for him. He cranes his neck to press a soft kiss to your lips, then settles back, and the two of you stay there, cuddled together, warm and content and sated.

Content... just so fucking content, except...

Content is an understatement to what you're feeling wrapped in Marc's arms like this.

If you had to describe what your period felt like to an alien who had no understanding of human emotions this is how you might describe it:

Imagine snow falling outside and you are wrapped up safely in a heavy blanket around your tired limbs.

Imagine the smell of freshly made pancakes and coffee brewing (just the way you like it) in the morning after a hangover.

Imagine all of that combined and it still wouldn't even begin to do it any justice.

A/N: Thank you nonny for this ask, literally when you sent it I was having the period from actual hell and was in tears and wailing and crying in bed. This was a really nice escape to write this oneshot with TWP.

"Time & the Trickster" A Loki/Doctor Who crossover

Chapter 4: The Magic I Can Do

Your only way to begin your journey to see The Doctor is when Loki pulls out the few tricks he still has at his fingertips to lie and deceive your way onto a train, which stirs new feelings of jealousy.

CHAPTER WARNING: Reader has a panic attack, jealousy

Previous Chapter · Next Chapter MASTERLIST

Admittedly, having a panic attack in front of Loki, dignified and noble God of Asgard, was not your finest hour.

Joey’s words immediately unraveled the net of plans that you and Loki were just beginning to weave. You were back behind Square One. Your head went fuzzy and your breathing grew heavy. The room grew hotter than it already had been, and the humidity only served to further suffocate you. Your senses began to take flight, and all that was on your mind was how this was going to make staying in the apartment almost impossible unless Joey procured another job immediately.

In this economy, that was hardly likely.

You mumbled nearly incoherently, your anxiety disorder bubbling to the surface again. “Fired? But…London! And our rent! And…him!”

Everything was happening at the same time while your body began drinking its own internal speed and making things worse. Half your livelihood was gone for at least the summer, and now you had a helpless, sexy dependant who needed to be taxied halfway around the world before it got sucked into some anti-world where up and down. Your eyes began darting back and forth as if you were reading your morbid premonition on a teleprompter.

Joey knew what to do when you had a breakdown. Without adding to the drama, he brisky went for the kitchen, getting a glass of water as Loki guided you over to the sofa. Thankfully, a near lifetime of a moderate anxiety disorder meant that Joey knew how to take care of you (though it was embarrassing to admit even to yourself that your little brother sometimes had to step up and be your keeper, if only for a few minutes). The one consolation was that usually, the meltdowns were brief.

As you recalibrated, Joey forced Loki aside and sat next to you, water ready for whenever you reached for it. Loki stood behind the sofa, watching with regret.

“I’ve brought all of this trouble onto you both, and I never meant to hurt her,” he began blathering. “She’s wonderful.”

Joey held up a silent hand, his usually reckless attitude pushed to the side for the sake of brotherly love. Loki felt envious, wondering if this was what he would do for Thor, or Thor for him, if they both lived in this magicless, Asgard-less life.

About fifteen minutes passed before your heart slowed and your temperature dropped. The heat in your face receded. Loki pulled the barstool over and sat nearby, giving you the only privacy he could by looking everywhere but your direction.

“Jesus, guys, I’m sorry I did that,” was the first thing you said.

“Y/N, you know I’ll smack you if you apologize for that again,” Joey mumbled, making both you and Loki smile in relief.

“You say that every time. But I’m back,” you said.

You asked them not to bring it up, but you still sensed the icky feeling of pity falling over you from Loki’s direction. Great, now he probably thinks I’m a baby!

“Joey, what are we going to do?” you asked meekly, refusing to acknowledge the God-shaped elephant in the room while you still got over the internal embarrassment.

“This month is paid,” he reminded you. “I can borrow money for rent if it’ll ease your mind.”

You shook your head. The idea of taking on debt only added to your stress levels. “I don't want that.”

“Or we could talk to Gino. He’s not a bad guy, maybe he’ll spot us a month or two,” your brother suggested.

“Joey, even rent can wait,” you interrupted. “What about…?”

Joey looked up and nodded. “Yeah, we need to figure that out first. You think you’re back in your head enough to strategize, Big Sis?”

You affirmed with a wink. Loki’s tense posture relaxed.

You had Joey make a pot of coffee and pull out whatever food was left in your kitchen, which ended up making an odd meal of frozen fish sticks, vanilla pudding, and a few apples due to expire in the coming hours.

The summer sun took it’s sweet time setting, but even by dark midnight you were sitting around, slowly eating the last food you had in the house and planning for Loki’s escape together. The apartment cooled as the heat no longer radiated in from the west window. You hadn’t realized how much the hot, sticky environment was contributing to your stress until it was gone.

“Joey, I’m really beginning to think we need to get Loki to London,” you said. “I feel like it’s the right move.”

“Maybe I can try posing as the actor again,” Loki suggested. “Clearly it works.”

Joey frowned. “Until the wrong person spots you and it gets back to the Real Guy that he’s got an imposter.”

“You don't understand, Loki,” you sighed. “It’s one thing to fool a drunken old fart in a southside pawn shop. Getting out of the country requires paperwork and money! I mean, I think Joey and I still have valid passports, but I don’t think that shiny little stone is going to get you past customs in Merry Ol’ England.”

“Trains are cheaper,” Joey suggested. “Your paycheck would cover seats for all of us.”

Rolling your eyes, you reached out for a fish stick. Loki had been reaching for it at the same time, and your fingers brushed against one another. You almost giggled at how silly the cliche was, or perhaps at how his skin tickled your knuckle.

��It’s yours,” he insisted. You batted your eyes in flirtatious thanks. He winked back.

“And how many trains go over three-thousand miles of ocean, wise-ass?” you quickly recovered, leaning back against the sofa and crossing your legs.

Your brother threw up his hands. “I’m saying let’s get to Boston first, Sis. We’ll stay at my friend Paulie’s. We can see about getting on a plane or a boat from there.”

“Paulie, your old college friend? Ugh, he always smells like warm cabbage,” you cringed.

“Well it’s either we get to Boston via train and stay with Paulie for free, or we stay in a dirty hostel three-to-a-mattress and walk.”

Ugh, you don’t need to be a jerk, you thought. It was remarkable how quickly Joey could switch from being a sweet man to being a complete jackass.

Meanwhile, the split-second idea of sharing a mattress with Loki made your head spin in a different direction.

“And what happens when we get there? Do we know where this Doctor fellow is? Do we know for sure he can get me back to the TVA?” Loki interrogated. “And how do we do it?”

You bit your lip, looking down at your feet. “I don’t know. For all we know, he could just be a stuntman and the whole thing is a dead end.”

“But what else is there?” Loki asked. “You’re right, we need to try it, but can we really wait a whole week?”

You thought. “Well, no. I can ask Mrs. Graves for an advancement tomorrow. She’ll give it to me, but it won’t be much more than what the train tickets are worth.” You’d taken a day off the previous week for a dentist appointment that went longer than you’d expected. That meant a whole day’s work would be left off your check this week for the sake of three fillings that cost eight times as much as the day would have paid.

Loki’s ip twitch as he had a thought. “How much can this man really do if his own means of traveling has left him abandoned?” You and Joey looked at one another in silence. Neither of you had the answer, because the question answered itself.

Joey smiled, deciding to diffuse the pessimism. “Wow, going to see the Doctor! And the fact that he’s actually real!”

Twisting your lip and letting the stress melt away as best you could, you added, “Well given the circumstances, maybe that shouldn’t surprise you.”

“No,” Joey replied, pausing fondly to recall a memory, “It’s just that…it would’ve rocked Dad’s world to see this.”

“I know,” you said sweetly.

“Perhaps…” Loki chimed in, “If he has a set of films or shows like Loki of This World does, I should watch these, or I’ll remain confused about this mysterious man no matter how close we get to him. I’d rather not have any more mysteries in my life at the moment, if you don’t mind.”

You looked at Joey with a grin. “What say you? All-night Tennant binge?”

You already knew the answer.

For as invested as Loki seemed to be in the first few episodes of Doctor Who that you showed him, after you came back to the sofa from a bathroom run, he’d fallen asleep on the couch, sitting up, his head lolled back in peaceful repose.

Joey hadn’t even noticed, lost in Silence in the Library, until you pointed at him silently.

“I guess even Gods need sleep,” he joked, turning the TV off as you threw a crocheted blanket over his chest. Perhaps this was the only time his mind could be at ease in this strange, worthless universe.

You weren’t expected at work until 1pm the following day, but if time was of the essence, you decided that taking the earliest bus up into the village of Liverpool was the best course of action. Thankfully you had a bus pass that still had money on it, so it didn’t cost anything in cash to get you and Loki up and out of the city that morning.

Liverpool was a small, dense little village at the opposite end of the lake that bordered the north side. It was the closest the region got to a sweet provincial town, with several parks, small businesses, coffee shops, and libraries. The bookshop where you worked was a hop and a skip from the bus stop, sandwiched between a chiropractor’s office and a cafe.

“Mrs. Graves is a kind old lady, but she’s a bit conservative,” you warned as you opened the door for Loki. “Let me do the talking, please.”

Loki raised an eyebrow. “I regret to inform you that you have just asked an impossible task of me.”

“What?” you asked harshly, squinting your eyes.

“Well, someone once told me that I like to hear myself talk. The more I go forward, the more I guess I’m starting to believe it.” He didn’t sound overly serious. You chose not to press the matter further. Loki may have been a bit mercurial for the average person, but he had to know the basics of how to behave on Earth…

…or is it Midgard? No, Earth! You may have been adjusting to the situation now that you were thirty-six hours into it, but the absurdity of it all was still overwhelming.

“Hello?” you called as you walked in with your charge. At first, there was no answer.

“Mrs G?” you called louder, walking into the stacks and shelves, leaving Loki to meander behind you.

“Mom’s not here,” called a higher, younger voice than you expected.

Fuck. It’s Danielle. This will be a blast.

Danielle was Mrs. Graves’ daughter. She was a sour, grumpy woman the same age as you. You’d gone to school together, where you rarely interacted beyond the few times you were lab partners. While you were supposed to be working after school, she’d always ditched you to do everything while she snuck out to football practice to collect STDs from the benchwarmers.

What sucked was that she was a stunner, tall, thin in all the right places, and of course, naturally charismatic with whoever she deemed worthy of her attention. In school, she used to get away with everything. Now that she was your de facto supervisor whenever her mother wasn’t around, it was evident that some people never changed.

“I need my check early, Dan,” you continued to raise your voice, hoping to save face before she inevitably slapped it right in front of the God of Mischief. “I’ll get it and get out of your hair.”

“As if! Like you’re getting a dime before Friday!”

She emerged from the Sociology section in a bright blue sundress that you immediately envied. Automatically, she began to berate you in the way only she could get away with. “Mom called me in because she thought you were going to call in sick again. You’ve been doing that way too much lately, Y/N. Between dental work and getting sick all in the same week, are you sure you aren’t just falling apart?”

She immediately laughed at her own joke. You hung your head, aware of Loki right behind you, listening to her insults. She stopped short when she noticed him.

She was always reading every celebrity rag she could get her hands on, and you had no doubt she could recognize an A-lister from behind a brick wall. Therefore, it only took her a moment to completely change her demeanor. “Wait…are you shitting me? Oh…it can’t be! Y/N!”

She tossed her hair over her shoulder and cocked a hip to the side, posing like a runway model. “I mean, you didn’t tell me you knew Tom Hiddleston! Mind introducing me?”

You grunted, but before you could say anything resembling words, Loki gently nudged you aside, walking forward and extending a hand. “Good morning, Madame. Might I say, that dress is lovely on you.” He swept up her hand in order to kiss it delicately.

“Oh!”

She widened her eyes. You narrowed yours.

“Uh…Lokes?” you said insecurely.

He ignored you. “Y/N and I have a distant relative, and I happened to be around filming a secret project.” He flirtatiously bright his finger to his lips, punctuating the lie with a ‘shh!”

Your jaw dropped, showing off every one of those new fillings.

“Mr. Hiddles--”

“--Tom, please. It’s Tom to the prettiest ones.”

Danielle looked about ready to pee. Her body spasmed as it tried to keep poise, only to fail instantly at the god’s unfurling smile. “Oh, I’m surely not as lovely as all the girls out there--”

“--a-HEM!” you suddenly cleared your throat from the sidelines. “Uh, Cousin Tom,” you warned, hissing through your teeth with all of the self-control you were capable of, “Need I remind you that you’re married.”

The couple ignored you. Your eyes rolled so far back into your head you saw black.

“I’m afraid something’s gone terribly amiss with my accounts, love,” Loki’s words came out like smooth butter. They sounded so genuine. Of course he would go after Danielle like this! “Some monster tried to rob me.”

“How terrible!: Danielle swooned. “Who would do such a thing?”

“People who think just because I have the world at my feet that I am not still a man,” Loki answered, looking off dramatically into the middle distance. “I feed my family with that money…I earned it bringing smiles to the people of this world…”

Shoot me, you thought. Please do it quickly, before she has your baby!

“I need to get home, my daughter--”

��--son!--” you corrected with a cough.

“--my son is missing me!” he corrected without missing a beat.

Danielle held her hands over her heart, eating his disgusting story up like kibble. “Oh my goodness! Let me help you out!”

Danielle led you up a set of stairs behind the childrens’ section, up to the small office built into the second floor. The besotted bitch wasted no time in opening up the safe. First, she pulled out a slip of paper and slapped it onto the desk, signing it and tossing it to you with little ceremony. “Here, Y/N.”

Your check had a little less to it than you’d anticipated, but as it turned out, that wouldn;t matter. Danielle pulled out a large brown envelope from the safe, taking a minute to sift through it. As she pulled out a smaller white envelope, you decided that enough was enough. You couldn’t have Loki committing both identity theft AND robbery on the same day. Showing off too much would eventually draw the worst kind of attention.

“Loki, let’s leave before--”

Danielle pressed the envelope into Loki’s hand. “It’s not much, but it’ll get you first class on your way back. I’m sure coach conditions would be too harsh for you, Tom.”

You finally reached out to take Loki’s arm, tugging it firmly. “Let’s go…Cousin Tom!”

“One moment, Cousin Y/N!” Loki leaned over Danielle, laying a kiss on her cheek. “Thank you, beautiful Danielle. I shall remember your kindness forever.”

You couldn’t get Loki out of the store fast enough. You were so angry, you felt as if you could spit fire. The embers of jealousy were glowing inside your chest as you puffed it out defiantly, beginning to scold Loki like a mother.

“You can’t keep doing that!” you barked.

“Why not? I just got us--” he trailed off as he handed you the envelope. You opened it and quickly counted nearly $1000 dollars. Combined with your paycheck, it was enough for train tickets, possibly even the whole week in a cheap motel outside of Boston.

At least we won’t have to stay with that dumbass Paulie!

“Loki, you’re lucky she didn’t think to ask for a photo! You can bet she’s going to be going to all of her social media accounts about this,” you explained. “It can get back to the real man you’re pretending to be. You don't have the magic to get out of federal prison! You get busted, Loki, and you’ll NEVER get home!”

You were so angry and jealous that you turned your back, keeping tabs on the envelope, and walked back toward the bus stop. Loki had to chase you.

“Y/N, are you upset with me?” he asked, disbelieving.

“I…” you stopped yourself, touching the necklace you were wearing that he’d just gotten for you without a thought. Suddenly, it didn;t seem to matter as much that he’d batted his eyes at the likes of Danielle. He wanted something from her. He’d only wanted to give something to you.

“...you know what? I’m being silly. It’s been an emotional few days.” You didn’t want to risk another panic attack in front of him, especially seeing as you didn’t have your Emotional Support Joey this time. “I imagine you get it.”

Loki smiled, clearly relieved at your changing mood. “I do.”

You stood at the stop for about fifteen minutes. Luckily, today was a bit more temperate, the humidity giving way to a rather refreshing breeze. “Well,” you said with a smile, “At least we have a way to get to the coast….thanks to you.”

You looked up at him as he stepped toe-to-toe with you. “I owe the hope that I have to you, Y/N, but I must ask you something serious.”

You took in a deep breath. “Yeah?”

“...was my performance stirring? Was I sweet?” he asked, barely holding in his need to tease.

You pursed your lips and shook your head. “Sugary-sweet, Mr. Loki, and the last thing I needed today was another cavity.”

He chuckled, putting a kind hand on your shoulder as the bus pulled up. “Well, it seems I can pay for your surgeon’s bill this time, courtesy of Danielle!”

Of course he was only joking. Every cent of that bonus money needed to be spent on your upcoming journey, and after you returned home, it was nearly noon. Joey had fallen asleep with the TV still turned on. You chucked a pillow at him in order to wake him up, and the rest of the day spent planning and booking tickets to New England.

By 8am the following morning, the three of you were walking the eleven blocks northward toward the transit station, you and your brother with duffel bags slung over your shoulders, Loki holding the tickets, passports, and money in a messenger bag of his own that you’d dug through the closet to find. It was foggy and overcast, which was a weather pattern more common in the city than bright, sunny skies.

Luckily, the train was on time, so you didn’t have to spend much time in front of everyone in the waiting area, risking someone identifying Loki as someone of consequence.

“You didn’t spring for Business class?” Joey complained, reading his ticket. “We could’ve afforded it, Sis.”

“Twenty bucks extra each? That’s grocery and lodging,” you reasoned. “Fuck that. We don't even know how we’re going to be able to afford to get out of Boston! The first thing we do after we check into our motel is find a bodega that has food.”

Joey leaned in to Loki with an aside, as if you couldn’t perfectly hear him when he said, “She’s worse than a mom, isn’t she?”

“Well, maybe if you didn’t always act like you still needed one--”

“--here it comes!” Loki announced as you made your way onto the platform, where four other individuals stood, waiting about as you now were. The train was always close enough to hear as it pulled up, a strong breath of wind in its wake. It was nearly deafening.

Several conductors in matching suits exited the train and began scanning tickets, letting people abroad.

Joey whispered behind his hand to both of you: “Let me go first, I got this.”

You grunted with disapproval. Joey presented his ticket to the conductor, choosing the only woman among the staff. To your deep regret, she was also an attractive lady.

“I don't know, Mr. Hiddleston, trains are good for traveling incognito, but someone could still discover you in coach--”

The conductor immediately whipped her head up, observing Loki for several seconds, assessing him. Her cheeks grew red as she quickly grew embarrassed to be standing there in her stiff gray dress skirt.

“--oh, our Business class car has plenty of unassigned seats,” she said quickly. “I can let the conductor back there know that we upgraded you.”

“Oh, are you certain?” Loki asked slowly.

Don’t rub it in, showboater. you prayed. You were growing agitated again. Had Loki listened to a word you said outside the bookstore?

“It;s Amtrak’s pleasure,” said the conductor. “Go down to the last car, and I’ll radio our staff down there that you’re keeping a low profile.”

“A million thanks,” Loki pressed his hands together as you presented your ticket, choosing to brush past him.

You could hear the conductor saying in a coquettish voice, “Maybe I’ll wander back later and we could take a photo together?”

Within five minutes, the train jerked to a start, and the three of you finally left Syracuse behind, the announcer on the loudspeaker promising an arrival in Boston seven hours hence. The Business Class car layout was simple, but with more space than a coach car. One side of the aisle was lined with single seats, the other doubles. Joey claimed a single seat near the middle of the car, and you took it as a signal to put your bags up above his head and settle in the double-set of seats across the way from him.

You quickly claimed the window before thinking better of it. “Loki, you take that one. Everyone’s going to see your face if you’re right on the aisle.” He quietly got into the seat, you next to him. You instantly became aware that your thighs were touching. If he noticed, Loki didn’t say anything or shift in his seat.

“See ya in seven hours, nerds,” Joey put up his leg rest and pulled down the baseball cap he wore over his eyes.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, Loki leaned over to whisper in your ear. “Don’t fret, please.”

“You haven’t listened to me! We cannot be caught, Loki!” you answered.

“I know that, Y/N, please trust me,” he answered. “But perhaps your brother was correct. There was more of a risk sitting among all of those extra people.”

It was true, this car was nearly entirely empty as opposed to the rest of the train.

“Y/N, this world is the strangest I’ve ever seen, including the version of it where I;m from,” he confessed. “I have never been so vulnerable…so…mortal, than as I have been these past few days.”

That hadn’t occurred to you.

“This is the only thing I can do to help you and your brother with this miserable chore I’ve given you by showing up in your lives unannounced like this. I have no magic, no illusions other than the ones I can conjure with my lies.”

You were bold and laid your hand on top of his. “You’re not a burden. Never.”

Loki looked touched. “Thank you, Y/N.”

.The two of you fell asleep before being on the train for an hour. When Loki awoke hours later, he noticed that you’d never let go of his hand, and that your head was leaning against his shoulder.

He smiled tenderly and leaned his own head against the top of yours, getting the slightest whiff of your floral body spray before letting it lull him back into a pleasant sleep.

Hidden In Plain Sight Part2

Peter Parker/Spider-Man x Fem Reader

Summary: After Peter comes over for the dinner, you get the chance to discuss the incident on the subway. He admits to you his identity and the fears that come with it. You then get a taste of what it's like to know the pain nobody can see from under the mask, the agony that hides in plain sight.

Word Cound: 3k+ @inkthgoat

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

As you were finishing up the pasta, a deep sense of regret loomed over you. That feeling of regret then festered into anxiety. What if he saw you as a liability now that you not only knew his true identity, but where he lived? Nonetheless, seeing what would have been his dinner really tugged at your heart. He was doing so much around the city, putting in hours and hours of physical labor and coming home to eat microwave dinners. You knew what that was like to an extent, but you couldn't imagine how heavy that could be. After the dinner was all set and done, you went into your room and fixed your hair a bit and changed into leggings and a sweatshirt. When the doorbell rang, you jumped out of your skin. When you opened the door, he was standing there with a half smile on his face. He had a busted lip and a cut above his eyebrow. You could tell he'd just showered because his hair was wet and he smelt like dove soap. You smiled back and moved to the side to let him walk in. He was wearing a gray hoodie and blue jeans, and his hair was brushed to the side. You closed the door and directed him to the small dining room table that took up most of the kitchen.

"Sorry I know it's a little cramped in here but I loved the table so much I didn't really think about measurements," you said, setting a plate of pasta and caesar salad in front of him.

"Wow, this looks amazing, thank you so much," he said while taking his fork and hauling a forkful into his mouth; not obnoxiously, more like someone who hasn't eaten after a busy day.

"Well, thank you, even if I don't have people over, I always end up making too much. Soda or water? Oh, I have lemonade too," you said while looking into your white refrigerator.

"Water would be great, thank you," he said.

After you sat down, you ate in silence for a while. You didn't feel like there was an awkward vibe because it's not like you're gonna conversate with a mouth full of pasta or salad. He was finishing up his second bowl by the time you were finishing your wrapped up with your original plate. The longer the silence went on, the more you felt like the elephant in the room was growing. You knew that he remembers that morning on the subway but you didn't want to be the one to bring it up.. at first. Then after thinking about it for a moment, why shouldn't you have brought it up. It would be one thing if after the crash, you never saw him again. You had seen him in your statistics class and he moved into your apartment building. The more and more you let your mind snowball these ideas, you were becoming more pressured to break the ice. He thanked you again for the dinner as you were walking his plea to the sink. He'd offered to take his own plate but you insisted. After washing the orange residue off the white porcelain plates, you dried your hands with a washcloth. You took a deep breath before turning around and confronting him.

"You're the guy from the bridge right?" you felt like your tone came off a little aggressive so you sat back down in your chair to compensate.

"I don't know what you're talking about, are you saying like, you recognize me from around here or some-" you cut his painfully obvious lie off.

"Please, I understand why you wouldn't want anyone to know and normally I would let it go. I would but, first I saw you on that subway car. Then Amarita introduces us and new neighbors and then I saw you today in class. I feel like I'm going crazy, please don't think I'm asking because.. I-I want to use it against you. I just need to know because I can't stop thinking about it and it doesn't help when you're all around me," you said, talking softly and resting your hands on the table. He didn't say anything for a couple moments, he just made intense eye contact before looking down at his hands that we rested in his lap.

"Its-" he looked up and took a shaky breath before looking back down and continuing, "the last time people around me found out.. They got hurt and I lost them. I understand that I can't gaslight you into thinking it's not true but..this is so hard because the wound that I got last time I was unmasked is so fresh that I can't stop the bleeding. Please know that if this gets out again not only will all of New York be gonna hate me and I don't have any of my family left to help me through that and-" tears were now flowing from his face, making the dark bags under his eyes even more apparent.

"I didn't you know, like, invite you for dinner just because I wanted to get a secret out of you. I just know how tired I am of life, not in a sad way, more like I can't keep up with how fast everything is moving around me. I can't lie I did see you on the News after the crash and I just felt so much empathy. I know we're strangers but I really just want to be a friend. I know it's not the same but I'm kinda.. estranged from my family so I get it. It's scary to think about falling when nobody is behind you to help dust you off and cheer you on for the rest of the recovery," you said, getting up and grabbing the tissue box that was on the counter.

"Do you wanna stay over for a bit? Maybe you could help me with my statistics homework because I made you dinner. Unless I don't know if it's too uncomfortable now I totally get it," you said worried that you might be too nonchalant considering the gravity of the situation.

"No well, I mean yes to wanting to study but no to it being weird. I could use the distraction and the practice, let me grab my books," he said, getting up to get his things.

You used the time he was gone to gather your study materials, on the inside you were trying hard not to show that the new information was getting to you. I mean yes, him being Spider-Man was jarring and stirred up feelings of anxiety you didn't know you could feel. But hearing how sad he was over losing people he cared about, him admitting to you how lost and lonely he felt just made your heart melt. It's true, you knew from the local news stands that he got a fair amount of negative publicity. Which seemed so silly because of all the first hand reports about citizens who were saved by him. After you had gotten rescued, you went to reddit to see if anyone else had shared their experience and you were shocked at what you found. One message in particular from an older woman about how Spider-Man saved her daughter from a fire that engulfed half of an apartment building. The woman was on bed rest and could flee through the fire escape and was rescued by Spider-Man. This woman then posted a picture of her with her grandbaby thanking the hero for giving her the gift of being able to celebrate being a grandmother in the birth center and not a cemetery. Other people just like her were praising him for the free surface he provides to the city. You wondered if his biggest critics could see the positive effects he had on the core of the community if they'd still continue to ostracize him.

After he came back you put on background music and began working on measures of relative standing and boxplots. You thought he might be helping you only to entertain you but he was actually helping you understand the material better. Peter just had a way of explaining things that made them so easy to understand. He wasn't the type of person that tries to pull answers out of you but instead helped you get to the conclusion as he guided you. His notes were all so organized and well written you were actually shocked. He had very neat and organized writing and all his diagrams were hand drawn. You felt like you were looking at a pinterest board of 'goal notes'. After about an hour of studying, you offered him a cup of tea which he accepted. It only took you about 10 minutes for you to finish up but when you came back he was asleep on the couch. His eyes were puffy and he had his mouth slightly open, his eyebrows twitching every once and a while. You bit your lip in order to stop yourself from laughing; you'd like to think you were laughing with him not at him. He looked so tired that you didn't have the heart to wake him up, you threw a blanket over him.

You walked back into the kitchen and made a container for Amarita. You made sure to put the pasta and salad in separate containers, you knew she wouldn't eat the salad otherwise. After grabbing a can of coke from your fridge you make your way to her apartment. After a couple knocks she opens the door, wearing a purple silk robe and white slippers. She put her hand on your check and invited you in, you loved her apartment. She always kept everything so clean and it always smelled like lemon cleaner. She took the food and set it on the counter before giving you a hug. She explained that she was just about to watch a new episode of her show and was excited to eat this meal while she did so.

"I just wanted to let you know I'm having a sleepover," you said; this was what you did whenever you would bring someone home, just in case anything happened to you Amarita would know the circumstances.

"Is it that Peter boy?' she asked.

"Yes but it's not like that, we were in the same math class and he fell asleep while we were studying," you explained.

"Umhm, whatever you say," she joked before walking you out.

Once you got back to your apartment, you checked to make sure Peter was still asleep. You sigh and make your way into your bedroom. Today was such an eventful day and you felt like you could pass out if you laid on your bed too soon. You still had to shower and finish up an English assignment before going to sleep. The shower was really relaxing, like you were washing away all the flaws from the day off your body. You dug your nails into your scalp as you washed your hair, enjoying the feeling. The bathroom was filled with lavender scented steam, it poured out as you walked out. You got back to your room, changed into some pajamas and started typing away at your lap-top. After thinking about it for a moment you got up and locked your bedroom door before going back to the comfort of your bed. You weren't really sure why but knowing that there was someone that had the strength of 10 men behind your door made you feel somewhat uneasy; even if you thought he was sweet and non-confrontational to a degree.

The next morning you practically jumped out of bed when you remembered the events of last night. You went to walk out of the bedroom and into the living room but Peter was gone. You looked around as if you had missed him the first time. Something that was hanging from the window. You walked up to the glass and saw a note that was hand written and hanging by a web.

Dinner for me next time, I'm thinking Chinese :)

You blush as you read it and put it on the refrigerator with a magnet. You went back to the bedroom and began getting ready for school. The first thing you did was check your essay to make sure everything was ready to be turned in. You open your email and notice your professor had let you know that if you submitted your essay you didn't have to be in class today. You were praising yourself for doing the work ahead of time. You had to work today so you were grateful that you could now spend that time relaxing at home before your shift. Pulling your hair into a bun, you make your way to the kitchen to make some breakfast. Every now and again you would forget about Peter and when you suddenly remembered, your heart would start racing so fast that you almost got light headed. You tried to push it to the side, it was taking up too much room in your brain and giving you avoidable anxiety. You cut up a green apple and threw them into your oatmeal. You worked from 12pm to 6pm and it was 10 am so this gave you time to actually get ready. After indulging in the delicious microwaveable oatmeal you start putting on some makeup and flat ironing your hair. You worked as a cashier at a local grocery store and as long as you were only ringing up customers you were allowed to have your hair down. This made you very happy, you always felt like a soldier with your hair pulled back into a bun or ponytail.

The walk to work was so peaceful, instead of putting one earbud in you just focus on the sounds of cars and birds. It was also nice to watch, New York was one of the best places for that. Tourist families, groups of teenagers who all kinda looked alike, of course alt people who you would steal style ideas from time to time. Rich women who looked like they've never had a speck of dirt under their fingernails. You had to pass several street vendors which smelled amazing. You saw what appeared to be a teenage brother and his elementary school age sister buying a treat from an ice cream truck. This made your heart swell, so cute with their little backpacks. Once you got closer to the store, you pulled a red apron out of your bag. The automatic doors opened and you were hit with a plaster of AC which made you shiver a little. You were working with the assistant managers' twin sons, Mathew and Michael. They were only 16 and everyone gave them a little grace when it came to expectation. You wouldn't say this but you think they're smarter than they portray to get out of more grueling tasks. It was only for 6 hours of tolerating them, so you could cope.

After clocking in you jump right into work, it was easier to completely immerse yourself instead of watching the clock. When the store got less busy you would restock shelves, sweep floors for cleaning different stations of the store. You took a moment to check the time and take a sip of water; you only had about a half hour left. The twins were going back and forth, talking passionately while hovering over a magazine.

"I called it and you called me a crazy conspiracy obsessed idiot. Crime rates have gone down since Spider-Man sightings first got reported," Mat said.

"That doesn't mean he doesn't have an underlying agenda," Mike said.

"You know I hope when you need help one day, Spider-Man looks at his agenda and that it won't have your stupid ass on it," Mat laughed.

"Shut the fuck Mat," Mike grumbled before walked away from each other.

You grabbed the magazine they were looking at and on the second to last page was an article about the statistics of crime rate being tied to Spider-Man. You smiled and blushed as you were reading it. After helping a few more customers you bought the magazine with the small article and a couple other miscellaneous things. You ubered home and made your way up the staircase where Amarita was sweeping per usual. Shortly after seeing you, she ran into her apartment and handed you the washed tupperware from the night before. You thanked her and let yourself into your apartment. You opened the window, letting the cool breeze circulate through the small space. After changing into more comfortable clothes you turn on the T.V and see the Channel 9 News that was broadcasting live. There was a hide speed chase happening, someone stole an 18 wheeler. You didn't think much of it until you saw the red and blue figure swerving through cars in order to maintain speed with the rogue vehicle. You never heard yourself gasp like that in your life. It was dark outside now and the helicopter that was shining a spotlight on the scene made the colors of his suit appear almost neon. He eventually caught up to the truck and made his way in front of it. The news casters warn parents to censor the content of the following scene. He jumped right in front of it and was hit, there was no sound but you could almost feel the impact in your chest. He bounced off the front of the car and rolled underneath.

You let out a cry and looked away, burying your head in your knees. You'd never seen anything like that in your life. You could still hear the narration which was quiet and sorrowful. Before you could process what was happening, the voices began to pick up. The truck was slowing down and the camera view was now on the top of the truck. Spider-Man was now holding the battery of the car, you couldn't see his face but you could see blood soaking through his suit. He was staggering a bit but webbed the driver to the car door and fled the scene as police arrived. You stood up and started pacing, on top of all the panic you could hear the sirens from your building. You didn't even have his phone number, what if he passed out somewhere and bled out. So many horrible scenarios were running through your head. After sitting on the couch dissociating for you don't know how long, there was a weak knock on the door. You swung the door open and revealed a busted up Peter who was holding a bag of Chinese take out.

Frozen 2 script.

Agnarr (O.S.): Anna, Elsa!

Iduna (O.S.): Bed time's soon!

Anna: Uh oh! The princess is trapped in the snow goblin's evil spell! Quick Elsa, make a prince, a fancy one! Oh no, the prince is stuck too! "Who cares about danger when there's love?"

Elsa: Ugh, Anna, blegh... Kissing won't save the forest! (chuckling) The Lost Fairies cry out! (Mimicking elephant trumpets) What sound does a giraffe make? Nevermind! They wake the Fairy Queen, who breaks the spell and saves everyone!

Anna: And they all get married! (laughing)

Agnarr: What are you playing?

Anna: Enchanted forest!

Agnarr: That's like no Enchanted Forest I've ever seen.

(Anna: The prince and the princess whoosh)

Elsa: (gasps) You've seen an Enchanted Forest?

Anna: Wait, what?

Agnarr: I have. Once.

Anna: And you never told us this before?

Agnarr: Well, I could tell you now... If you...

Elsa: Okay, tell us now!

Iduna: Are you sure about this?

Agnarr: It's time they know... (Anna: Let's make a big snowman later)

Agnarr: If they can settle and listen. (Chuckles) Far away, as north as we can go, stood a very old and very Enchanted Forest. But its magic wasn't that of goblin spells and lost fairies. It was protected by the most powerful spirits of all... Those of air, fire, water, and earth. But it was also a home to the mysterious Northuldra people.

Elsa: Were the Northuldra magical, like me?

Agnarr: No Elsa, they were not magical, they just took advantage of the forest gifts. Their ways were so different from ours. But still, they promised us friendship. In honor of that, your grandfather, King Runeard, built them a mighty dam to strengthen their waters. It was a gift of peace.

Anna: That's a big gift of peace.

Agnarr: And I was so honored to get to go to the forest to celebrate it.

Runeard (Flashback): Stand tall, Agnarr.

Agnarr: I wasn't at all prepared for what the day would bring. We let down our guard. We were charmed. And it felt so... magical. But something went wrong. (Yelling) They were attacking us!

Mattias (Flashback): Get behind me!

Agnarr: It was a brutal battle. Your grandfather ...

Agnarr (Flashback): Father!

....

Agnarr: ...was lost. The fighting enraged the spirits. They turned their magic against us all. (Grunts) (Vocalizing) There was this... voice. And someone saved me. I'm told, the spirits then vanished. And a powerful mist covered the forest, locking everyone out. (Wind whooshing) And that night, I came home, King of Arendelle.

Anna: Whoa, Papa, that was epic. Whoever saved you, I love them.

Agnarr: I wish I knew who it was.

Elsa: What happened to the spirits? What's in the Forest now?

Agnarr: I don't know. The mist still stands. No one can get in, and no one has since come out.

Iduna: So we're safe.

Agnarr: Yes, but the forest could wake again, and we must be prepared for whatever danger it may bring.

Iduna: And on that note, how about we say goodnight to your father?

Anna: Oh, but I still have so many questions!

Agnarr: Save them for another night, Anna.

Anna: Ugh, you know I don't have that kind of patience. Why did the Northuldra attack us anyway? Who attacks people who gave them gifts?

Elsa: Do you think the forest will wake again?

Iduna: Only Ahtohallan knows.

Anna: "Ahtoha--" what?

Iduna: When I was little... my mother would sing a song about special river, called Ahtohallan... that was said to hold all the answers about the past, about what we are apart of.

Anna: Wow.

Elsa: Will you sing it for us? Please?

Iduna: Okay, cuddle close. Scooch in.

"All Is Found" (Iduna) Where the northwind meets the sea

There is a river full of memory

Sleep, my darling, safe and sound

For in this river all is found

In her waters, deep and true

Lie the answers and path for you

Dive down deep into her sound

But not too far or you'll be drowned

Yes, she will sing to those who hear

And in her song, all magic flows

But can you be brave what you most fear?

Can you face what the river knows?

Where the northwind meets the sea

There's a mother full of memory

Come my darling, homeward bound

When all is lost, then all is found

Ends

(In the present day, both Anna and Elsa are now grown up, since their parents' mysterious and tragic death and Hans' defeat since the events of Frozen. Elsa looks out into the balcony, when Kai interrupts her peace time)

Kai: Your Majesty?

Elsa: Oh!

Kai: They're ready.

Elsa: (Chuckles nervously) Excuse me, I'm coming. (hears a voice) Do you hear that?

Kai: Uh, what?

Elsa: Never mind.

Anna: (chuckling) Enjoying your new Permafrost, Olaf?

Olaf: I'm just living the dream Anna. Oh, how I wish this could last forever.

Anna: Mmmmm...

Olaf: And yet change mocks us with her beauty...

Anna: What's that?

Olaf: Forgive me, maturity is making me poetic. Tell me, you're older and thus all-knowing. Do you ever worry about the notion that, nothing is permanent?

Anna: Uh... no.

Olaf: Really? Wow, I can't wait till I'm aged like you, so I don't have to worry about important things.

Anna: That's not what I mean. I don't worry because... well, I have you, and Elsa, and Kristoff, and Sven and the gates are open wide and... And I'm not alone anymore.

(Anna) Yes, the wind blows a little bit colder And we're all getting older

And the clouds are moving on with every Autumn breeze

Peter Pumpkin just became fertilizer

(Olaf) And my leaf's a little sadder and wiser

(Anna) That's why I rely on certain certainties

Yes, some things never change

Like the feel of your hand in mine

Some things stay the same

(Anna & Olaf) Like how we get along just fine

(Anna) Like an old stone wall that'll never fall

Some things are always true

Some things never change

Like how I am holding on tight to you

(Kristoff) The leaves are already falling

Sven, it feels like the future is calling

Are you telling me tonight you're gonna get down on one knee?

Yeah, but I'm really bad at planning these things out

Like candlelight and pulling of rings out

Maybe you should leave all the romantic stuff to me

Yeah, some things never change

Like the love I feel for her

Some things stay the same

Like how Reindeers are easier.

But if I commit and go for it.

I'll know what to say and do. Right?

Some things never change...

Sven, the pressure is on you.

(Elsa) The winds are restless

Could that be why I'm hearing this call?

Is something coming?

I'm not sure I want things to change at all.

These days are precious,

Can't let them slip away.

I can't freeze this moment,

But I still can go out and seize this day!

(Townspeople) Ah ah ah ah ah ah

The wind blows a little bit colder

(Olaf) And you all look a little bit older

(Anna) It's time to count our blessings

(Anna & Kristoff) Beneath an autumn sky

(Townspeople) We'll always live in a kingdom of plenty

That stands for the good and the many

(Elsa) And I promise you the flag of Arendelle will always fly

(Anna) Our flag will always fly!

(Townspeople) Our flag will always fly! (Our flag will always fly!)

(All) Some things never change

Turn around and time has flown

Some things stay the same

Though the future remains unknown

May our good luck last, may our past be past

Time's moving fast, it's true

(Anna, Elsa, & Kristoff) Some things never change

(Anna) And I'm holding on tight to you

(Elsa) Holding on tight to you

(Olaf) Holding on tight to you

(Kristoff) I'm holding on tight to you...

(Anna) I'm holding on tight to you.

Ends

(The kingdom did change. As night falls, the entire gang is playing a game of charades. Kristoff is still attempting to propose to Anna, only to backfire by his own blunders that Anna should be thinking about protecting her older sister. The voice is heard again, before everyone heads off to bed)

[Inside a room in the castle, Anna makes weird movements while Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf observe from a couch and Sven holds a bell in his mouth.]

Kristoff: Um... okay... Um... lion!

Olaf: Grizzly bear!

Kristoff: Uh, monster!

Olaf: Mama bear!

Kristoff: Angry face?

Olaf: Papa bear!

Kristoff: Uh...

Olaf: Hans!

Elsa: Unredeemable monster!

Kristoff: Biggest mistake of your life!

Olaf: We didn't even kiss you! (Bell rings)

Anna: Villain!

Elsa, Olaf, & Kristoff: Oh...

Olaf: We all correctly got it.

Kristoff: Okay, Olaf, you're up.

Olaf: Okay. (So much easier now that I can read) Lightning round, boys against girls. Okay, I'm ready, I'm ready.

Kristoff: Go! Unicorn. Ice cream. Castle. Oaken! Teapot! Mouse! Ooh, Elsa! (Bell rings) (Laughing)

Anna: I don't think Olaf should get to rearrange. Doesn't matter, this is gonna be a cinch. Two sisters, with one mind.

Elsa: Thank you.

Anna: Okay, here we go. You got this Elsa, anytime. Just do it with your body. Nothing. Air. Tree. People. "Treeple"! Oh that's not a word... Shovel boy. Teeth? Oh, doing the dishes.

Olaf: Polar Bear!

Anna: Hey!

Olaf: Sorry.

Anna: You gotta give me something. (Elsa hears the voice again) Uhm, Alarmed? Distracted? Worried? Panicking? Disturbed, oh, come on. You definitely looked disturbed!

Kristoff: We won.

Anna: Rematch?

Elsa: Oh, you know what, I think I'll turn in.

Anna: Are you OK?

Elsa: Just.. just tired. Good night.

Olaf: Yeah, I'm tired too, and Sven promised to read me a bedtime story, didn't you Sven?

Kristoff: Did I?

Olaf: Oh you do the best voices like when you pretend to be Kristoff and you're like "I'll just go talk to some rocks about my childhood and stuff..."

Kristoff: Um, how about you guys start without me? (He prepares to groom the place and himself for the engagement)

Anna: Did Elsa seem weird to you?

Kristoff: She ... seemed like Elsa.

Anna: That last word, when it really seemed to throw her, what was it?

Kristoff: I don't know, but...

Anna: Ah. Ice? Oh come on, she couldn't act out ice? I better go check on her. Thanks honey, love you.

Kristoff: I love you, too. It's fine.

(In Elsa's room...)

Elsa: (hears a knock by Anna) Come in.

Anna: Yup, something's wrong.

Elsa: With you?

Anna: No, with you. You're wearing mother's scarf, you do that when something's wrong. Oh, did we hurt your feelings? I'm sorry, if we did. You know, there are few people that are actually good at family games, that's just a fact.

Elsa: No, that's not it.

Anna: Then what is it?

Elsa: There's this... I just don't want to mess things up.

Anna: What things? You're doing great! Oh Elsa, when are you going to see yourself the way I see you?

Elsa: What would I do without you?

Anna: You'll always have me. (They smile for a while) I know what you need. Come on, come here.

Elsa: What?

Anna: It's Mama's words, cuddle close. Scooch in.

Elsa: Mhmm.

Anna: Where the northwind meets the sea, there's a river...

Anna & Elsa: Full of memory...

Elsa: I know what you're doing... (Anna chuckles)

Anna & Elsa: Sleep, my darling, safe and sound, For in this river all is found...

(As soon as Anna and Elsa fell fast asleep, the latter heard the voice again in her sleep, waking her up. The song "Into the Unknown" plays with the voice repeating itself, getting out of bed. This made her irritate as it was searching around the castle, then outside into the forest)

(Elsa) I can hear you, but I won't.

Some look for trouble, while others don't.

There's a thousand reasons I should go about my day

And ignore your whispers which i wish would go away (Ohh)

You're not a voice, you're just a ringing in my ear

And if I heard you, which I don't, I'm spoken for I fear

Everyone I've ever loved is here within these walls

I'm sorry, secret siren, but I blocking out your calls

I've had my adventure, I don't need something new

I'm afraid of what I'm risking if I follow you...

Into the unknown!

Into the unknown!!

Into the unknown!!!~

What do you want? 'Cause you've been keeping me awake

Are you here to distract me so I make a big mistake?

Or are you someone out there who's a little bit like me?

Who knows deep down I'm not where I meant to be?

Every day's a little harder as I feel my power grow

Don't you know there's part of me that longs to go ...

Into the unknown!

Into the unknown!!

Into the unknown!!!~

Are you out there? Do you know me?

Can you feel me? Can you show me?

Where are you going? Don't leave me alone!

How do I follow you? Into the unknown!!!

Ends

(Elsa's song straight at the end, made little crystals that float mid-air, surrounding the kingdom, and when Elsa spoke the elementals' words, their spirits came by force, forcing the inhabitants to evacuate Arendelle)

Elsa: Air, fire, water, earth. (Thunder rumbling, shattering, flashing)

Anna: The water! (Wind howling)

Elsa: They're outrageous! No fire, no water, the earth is next. We have to get out! It'll be okay, evacuate to the cliffs!

Olaf: Oh no, I'm gonna blow!

Kristoff: - I got you!

(All the people evacuated)

Kristoff: Yes, everyone's out and safe. Here, take one of these. You okay there, Olaf?

Olaf: Oh yeah. We're calling this, "controlling what you can when things feel out of control".

Anna: Okay, I don't understand. You've been hearing a voice and you didn't think to tell me?

Elsa: I didn't wanna worry you.

Anna: We made a promise not to shut each other out! Just tell me what's going on!

Elsa: I woke the magical spirits of the Enchanted Forest.

Anna: Okay, that's definitely not what what I thought you were gonna say. Wait, the Enchanted Forest? The one father warned us about?

Elsa: Yes.

Anna: Why would you do that?

Elsa: Because of the voice. I know it sounds crazy, but I believe whoever is calling me is good.

Anna: How can you say that? Look at our kingdom!

Elsa: I know, it's just that my magic can feel it. I can feel it.

Anna: Okay. (Feeling rumbling) Oh no, what now?

Kristoff: The Trolls?

Bulda: Kristoff, we missed you!

Anna: Pabbie!

Grand Pabbie: Well, never a dull moment with you two. I hope you're prepared for what you have done, Elsa. Angry magical spirits are not for the faint of heart.

Anna: Why are they still angry? What does this all of this have to do with Arendelle?

Grand Pabbie: Let me see what I can see. The past is not what it seems. A wrong demands to be righted. Arendelle is not safe. The truth must be found. Without it... I see no future.

Anna: No future?

Grand Pabbie: When one can see no future, all one can do is the next right thing.

Elsa: The next right thing, is for me to go to the Enchanted Forest and find that voice. Kristoff, can I borrow your wagon, and Sven?

Kristoff: - I'm not very comfortable with the idea of that.

Anna: - You are not going alone.

Elsa: Anna, no. I have my powers to protect me, you don't.

Anna: Excuse me, I climbed to the North Mountain, survived a frozen heart, and saved you from my ex-boyfriend, and I did it all without powers, so, you know, I'm coming.

Kristoff: Me too, I'll drive.

Olaf:- I'll bring the snacks!

Grand Pabbie: I will look after your people.

Anna: Please make sure they stay out of the kingdom until we return.

Grand Pabbie: Of course.

Elsa: Let's let them know.

Grand Pabbie: Anna, I'm worried for her. We have always feared Elsa's powers were too much for this world, now, we must pray they are enough.

Anna: I won't let anything happen to her.

(They travel to the Enchanted Forest)

Olaf: Who wants a trivia? I am, okay!

[the storybook]

Narrator: Many sad and lonely years passed by for King Agnarr and his people. But as the time for the princess’ sixteenth birthday drew near, the entire kingdom began to rejoice. For everyone knew that as long as Elsa’s domain, the Enchanted Forest, thundered with her wrath and frustration, her hero prophecy had not yet been enchanted forest. And so, for sixteen long years, the whereabouts of the princess remained a mystery, while deep in the forest, in a woodcutter’s cottage, the good friends carried out their well-laid plan. Living like mortals, they had reared the child as their own and called her Anna and Elsa. On this, her sixteenth birthday, the Good Friends had planned a party and something extra special for her surprise.

Kristoff: Did you know that sleeping quietly on long journeys prevents insanity?

Olaf: (laughing) Yeah, that's not true.

Kristoff: - It is.

Elsa: - It is definitely true.

Anna: - It's the truth.

Olaf: Hmm, well, that was unanimous. But I will look it up when we get home.

Anna: They're both asleep. So ... what do you wanna do?

Kristoff: Sven, keep us steady, will you? Anna? Ahem! Anna, remember our first trip like this when I said you have to be crazy to want marry a man you just met?

Anna: - Wait, what? Crazy? You didn't say I was crazy, you think I'm crazy?

Kristoff: No, I did, you were. Not crazy, clearly. (Chuckles) Just naive, not naive, just ah.. just, new to love. Like I was, and, when you're new, you are bound to get it .. wrong.

Anna: So you're saying, I'm wrong for you?

Kristoff: What? No, no, (Voice sounds on) I'm not saying you're wrong, or crazy, I'm saying--

Anna: - Good idea.

Elsa: - Kristoff, stop, please. I hear it. I hear the voice.

Anna: - You do? Olaf, wake up.

Kristoff: - Whoa.

Anna: - Wow.

(Kristoff tries to get in first, but is blocked off until Elsa opens the fog.)

Anna: Promise me, we do this together, okay?

Elsa: I promise.

(They all enter the fog...)

Kristoff: It's okay.

Olaf: Did you know that the Enchanted Forest is a place of transformation? I have no idea what that means, but I can't wait to see what it's gonna do to each one of us.

(...but the Wind Spirit pushes them out of the foggy area)

Anna: I Am Not Fast.

Anna: We're locked in. I did not see that one coming.

Elsa: This forest is beautiful!

Anna: The Dam ... It still stands. It was in GrandPabbie's visions, but why?

Kristoff: I don't know, but it's still in good shape, thank goodness.

Anna: What do you mean?

Kristoff: Well if that Dam broke, it would send a tidal wave so big, it would wash away everything on this fjord.

Anna: Everything? But.. Arendelle is on this fjord.

Kristoff: Nothing gonna to happen to Arendelle, Anna, it's gonna be fine. Come here. You know, under different circumstances, this would be a... very romantic place. Don't you think?

Anna: Different circumstances? You mean like with someone else?

Kristoff: What? No, no, I'm saying, just in case we don't make it out of here...

Anna: You don't think we're gonna make out of here?

Kristoff: No, no, I mean, no, we will make it out of here. Well, technically the odds are kinda complicated, but my point is....

(Compiled complication here)

Kristoff: - In case we die-- No! No! No, we will die at some point-- Not even any reason time will we die, but.. Way far in the future we will die....

Anna: - You think we're gonna die?! I swear that I will not leave her side! (Runs away) Elsa?

(Against Sven's advises...)

Kristoff: (frustrated) Don't patronize me.

Anna: Elsa, there you are! You okay?

Elsa: I'm fine.

Anna: Okay, good. Where's Olaf?

Olaf: Umm, Anna? Elsa? Sven? Samantha? (Laughs) I don't even know who's Samantha! (Cackles, but he gets hit by the Spirits' abilities) That's normal...

(When I am older)

(Olaf) What was that? (Gasps) Samantha?

This will all make sense when I am older.

Someday I will see that this makes sense.

One day, when I'm old and wise,

I'll think back and realize,

That these were all completely normal events.

(Shrieking) Ah!

I'll have all the answers when I'm older,

Like why we're in these dark enchanted woods.

I know in a couple of years,

these will seem like childish fears.

And so I know this isn't bad, it's good.

Excuse me.

Growing up means adapting,

Puzzling out your world and your place.

When I'm more mature, I'll feel comfortably secure,

Being watched by something with a creepy, creepy face...

(Running and screaming like crazy)

See, that will all make sense when I'm older,

So there's no need to be terrified or tense.

I'll just dream about a time,

When I'm in my age of prime.

'Cause when you're older,

Absolutely, everything makes sense!

This is fine.

Ends

Olaf: Whoa

Anna: Olaf!

Olaf: (Laughing!)

(The Wind Spirit, in the form of a tornado, picks the intruders up)

Olaf: Hey guys, meet the wind spirit!

Kristoff: (passes with the wind) Coming through!

Anna: Oh, I think I'm gonna be sick!

Olaf: I'll hold your hands, but I can't find my arms!

Elsa: (notices a branch that will hit Anna, she deflects it off, but the Wind Spirit plays with her hands vigorously) Hey! Stop.

Anna: (as her sister is contained by the Wind Spirit) Elsa! Let her go!

Kristoff: (warns Anna not to come closer) Anna, be careful!

Anna: - That's my sister!

(The Wind Spirit is finally tamed after Elsa sees some memories in the snow)

Anna: (goes to comfort her) Are you ok?

Elsa: (replies) I'm fine.

Kristoff: (mesmerized by the statues) What are these?

Anna: They look like moments in time. What's that thing you said, Olaf?

Olaf: Oh, my theory about advanced technology is both our savior and our doom?

Anna: No, not that one, the one about...

Olaf: The one about cucumbers?

Anna: No. The thing about water.

Olaf: Oh, yeah. Water has memory. The water that makes up you and me has passed through at least 4 humans and or animals before us. (The water Sven's drinking after hearing it, gets gagged out) And remembers everything. (The tamed Wind Spirit plays with its new friends) The wind's back! I think I'll name you Gale.

Kristoff: Whoa! Get outta there.

Anna: Oh, hi, are you curious.

Elsa: You're in the better mood now?

(The wind spirit guides them to the ice statue of Anna and Elsa's parents)

Anna: Father. It's father! But this girl...

Olaf: Who is she?

Kristoff: She's Northuldra.

(Horn sounding, rustling)

Anna: What was that?

Elsa: Olaf, get behind me.

Kristoff: - What are you gonna do with that?

Anna: - I have no idea.

(The Northuldran and Arendellian people confront each other between the intruders)

Honeymaren: Lower your weapons.

Mattias: - And you lower yours!

Anna: - Arandellian Soldiers?

Yelana: - Threatening my people, Lieutenant?

Mattias: - Invading my Dam space, Yelena?

Anna: (points the ice sword at Mattias) Why does that soldier looks so familiar?

Arendellian Soldier: Lieutenant!

Mattias: Get the sword!

(Both sides charge against the intruders, until Elsa lays an icy floor on their feet)

Mattias: That was magic. Did you see that?

Yelana: Of course I saw it.

Anna: You chose an ice cold greeting...

Kristoff: - They've been trapped in here this whole time?

Elsa: - What do we do now?

Olaf: I got this. Hi! I'm Olaf. (Gasps) Oh, sorry, yeah, I just find clothes restricting. Bet you're wondering who we are and why we are here. It's really quite simple. (narrating the events of Frozen) It began with two sisters. One born with magical powers, and one born powerless. Their love of snowmen, infinite. "Anna, No! Too high!" Blast! "Ow, Mama, Papa, help!" Slam! Doors shutting everywhere, sisters torn apart! Well, at least they have their parents. Their parents are dead. "Oh, I am Anna, I wanna marry a man I just met!" Elsa's gonna blow, snow, snow, ah run! Magic pulses through my snowflakes. (Gasps) I live! "Ice palace for one, ice palace for one!" "Get out Anna!" (Shooting sounds) "My heart!"

Mattias: Oh, my goodness!

Olaf (continuing): (as Grand Pabbie) "Only an act of true love can save you." (as Hans)"Here's a true love's kiss..." "You're not worth it, guess what? I'm the bad guy!"

Mattias: What?!

Olaf (continuing): And Anna freezes to death, forever.

Mattias: Oh, Anna!

Olaf (concluding): Then she unfreezes it. Oh, and then Elsa woke up the magical spirits, and we were forced out from our kingdom. Now our only hope is to find the truth about the past, but we don't have a clue how to do that. Except Elsa's hearing voices, so we got that going for us. Any questions?

[The crowd stares blankly]

Olaf: I think they got it.

(Elsa thaws the ice floor)

Mattias: Are you really queen of Arendelle?

Elsa: I am.

Yelana: Why would nature reward a person of Arendelle with magic?

Mattias: Perhaps to make up for the actions of your people.

Yelana: My people are innocent, we will have never attacked first.

Mattias: May the truth be found. Hi, I'm sor-, uh, what's happening?

Anna: That's it! Lieutenant Mattias! Library, second portrait on the left. You are our father's official guard.

Mattias: Agnarr. What did happened to your parents?

Anna: Our parents' ship went down in the southern sea 6 years ago.

Mattias: I see him. I see him in your faces.

Anna: - Really?

Mattias: Soldiers! We maybe getting old in years, but we're still strong. Proud to serve Arendelle.

(The Northuldran are cornered, until...)

Elsa: (Steps forward) Wait, please. Someone has called me here. If I can just find it, I believe they have the answer that may help us free this forest. Trust me, I just want to help.

Yelana: (Rejects...) We only trust nature. When nature speaks, (...when the Fire Spirit intervenes) we listen.

Olaf: (Frightened) This will all makes sense when I'm older...

Man: Fire spirit!

Man #2: Get back everyone!

Man #3: Run for the river!

(Elsa blasts ice at the Fire Spirit)

Ryder: No, no, no the reindeer! That's a dead end!

Kristoff (mounting Sven): Come on Sven, we'll get them!

Anna: Elsa, get out of there! No, no, no....

(Anna follows Elsa to the fire)

(Kristoff and Sven rescue the reindeer)

Kristoff (To Sven): Come on buddy, we can do this, hiyah!

(Reindeer follows them)

Kristoff: (Gasps) Anna!

Elsa: Get her out of here!

(Kristoff grabs Anna off the ground)

Anna: No! Elsa!

(Elsa corners the Fire Spirit to a crevice in a pile of rocks where it reveals itself to be a salamander)

(The Fire Spirit gets scared and bursts fire that go to a nearby tree)

(Elsa defuses the fire, and the Spirit walks up to her and jumps into her palms)

(The fire around the forest disappears)

( The Northuldra and Arendellian soldiers appear behind Elsa and the Spirit)

Elsa: They're all looking at us, aren't they? Got any advice? Nothing?

(The Fire Spirit licks(?) it's eye)

Elsa: Hmm. Should I know what that means?

(The voice calls again)

Elsa: You hear it too? Somebody's calling us, who is it? What do we do?

(Spirit jumps off her palms and starts walking north)

Elsa: Okay, keep going north.

Anna (Back-hugging Elsa): Elsa! Oh thank goodness.

Elsa: Anna. Are you okay? What were you doing? You could have been killed, you can't just follow me into fire.

Anna: You don't want me to follow you into fire, then don't run into fire. You're not being careful Elsa.

Elsa: I'm sorry, are you okay?

Anna: I've been better.

Elsa: I know what you need.

(Elsa takes Queen Iduna's scarf from Anna's pockets and wraps it around her)

Yelena: Where did you get that scarf?

Ryder: That's a Northuldra's scarf.

Anna: What?

Honeymaren: This is from one of our oldest families.

Anna: It was our mother's...

(Elsa gasps, then takes Anna to the ice/snow statue of Iduna and Agnar)

Anna: Elsa...

Elsa: I see it, it's mother.

Anna: Mother saved father's life that day.

(Crowd of Northuldra and Arendellian soldiers form around the 2(two) sisters and the statue)

Elsa: Our mother was Northuldra.

(Northuldra take each others hands and form a spiral around the sisters, singing Vuelie )

Yelena: We are called Northuldra, We are the people of the Sun.

(Northuldra let go of each others hands)

Elsa: I promise you, I will free this forest, and restore Arendelle.

Anna: That's a pretty big promise, Elsa.

Ryder: Free the forest... Wow... I'm sorry, Its just... ah, Some of us were born in here, we've never even seen the clear sky.

Kristoff: I get it.

Ryder: My name is Ryder.

Kristoff: Kristoff. (They shake hands)

Elsa: I heard the voice again. We need to go north.

Honeymaren: But the Earth Giants now roam north at night.

Yelena: You can leave in the morning.

Honeymaren: I'm Honeymaren.

Anna: Honeymaren, we'll do all we can.

Olaf (While Northuldra kids are taking his body parts and playing with them): Hey, let me ask you, how do you guys cope with the ever increasing complexity of thought that comes with maturity?

(Girl takes his nose and sticks it up her nostril)

Olaf: Brilliant! It's so refreshing to talk to the youth of today. Our future is in bright hands--

(Kids takes his feet and lick/chew them)

Olaf: Oh no, no, no. Don't chew that, you don't know what I've stepped there

Kristoff: I can't seem to get her attention. Or even say the thing.

Ryder: Well, you're in luck, I know nothing about women. But I do know that we have themost amazing way of proposing, If we start now, we'll be ready at dawn.

Kristoff: Really?

Ryder: Best part, It involves a lot of reindeer.

Lt. Mattias: Hey, back at home, Halimah's still over on Hudson's Hearth?

Anna: She is.

Lt. Mattias: Really? Is she married?

Anna (shaking her head no): Mm-mm

(Anna takes a sip of her drink)

Lt. Mattias: Oh wow, why would that make me feel better?

Anna: What else do you miss?

Lt. Mattias: My father. He passed long before all this. He was a great man, Built us a good life is Arendelle, But taught me to never take the good for granted. He'd say, "Be prepared! Just when you think you found your way, life will throw you on a new path".

Anna: What do you do when it does?

Lt. Mattias: Don't give up. Take it one step at a time and...

Anna: Just do the next right thing.

Lt. Mattias: Yeah, you got it.

(Anna chuckles)

Homeymaren: I wanna show you something. (points to Iduna's scarf) May I?You know, air, fire, water and earth.

Elsa: Yes.

Honeymaren: But look, there is a fifth spirit. It's said to be a bridge between us and the magic of nature.

Elsa: A fifth spirit?

(Honeymaren nods)

Honeymaren: Some say, they hear it call out the day before the spell.

Elsa: My father heard it, Do you think that's who's calling me?

Honeymaren: Maybe. Alas, only Ahtohallan knows.

Elsa: Ahtohallan...

Elsa: "Dive deep into her sound"

Honeymaren&Elsa: "But not too far or you'll be drowned"

Honeymaren: Why do lullabies always have to have some terrible warning in them?

Elsa: I wonder that all the time.

(ground shakes)

Honeymaren: Earth giants.

Yelena: What are they doing down here?

(Northuldra puts out fires, doors closes and Lt. Mattias shushes kids)

Honeymaren: Hide.

(Elsa hides behind a tree)

Olaf: (tries to calm the fire spirit) This is why we don't play with fire. Ah, I can't stay mad at you, you're so cute!

Anna: (after the earth Giant left) Please tell me, you are not about to follow them?

Elsa: What if I can settle them like I did with the wind with the wind and fire?

Anna: Or what if they can crush you before you even get the chance? Remember, the goal is to find the voice, find the truth, and get us home.

Olaf: Hey guys, that was close!

Elsa: I know. The Giant sensed me. They may come back here, I don't want to put everyone at risk again. And you're right, Anna, we've got to find the voice. We're going now.

Anna: Okay, were going. Let me just... Wait, where are Kristoff and Sven?

Olaf: Oh yeah, I think they took off with that Ryder guy and a bunch of reindeer.

Anna: They left? Just left without saying anything?

Olaf: Who knows the ways of men.

Kristoff: (the next morning) Am I supposed to feel this is ridiculous?

Ryder: Oh yeah, definitely.

Kristoff: Everyone ready?

Ryder: (mimicking on the reindeer) Ready. Ah, I could use a rehearsal. Hey, love, love.

Kristoff: Wait, you talk for them too?

Ryder: I do.

Kristoff: It's like you can actually hear what they're thinking?

Ryder: Yeah and you.. you just say it!

Kristoff: And then you just say it.

Ryder: (believing that it's Anna) Okay, here she comes. (The reindeer prep it up)

Kristoff: (proposes...) Princess Anna of Arendelle. My feisty, fearless, ginger sweet love. Will you marry me? (...in front of Yelana)

Yelana: Um, no. The princess left with the queen.

Kristoff: What queen? What? What?!

What?!

Yelana: I wouldn't try to follow, they're long gone.

Kristoff: Long gone?

Yelana: So, yeah. Um, we're heading west, to the Lycan Meadows, you can come with us if you want. (She left)

Ryder: Hey, um, I'm sorry.

Kristoff: No, it's fine.

Ryder: Yeah, yup. Hm, okay. I'd better go pack. You coming with?

Kristoff: I'll just ah, yeah I'll meet you there

Ryder: You know where you're going.

Yah

Kristoff: Yeah, I know the woods. (Singing the Lost in the Woods prologue) Reindeers are better than people... Sven, why is love so hard?

(Lost in the Woods prologue) Reindeers are better than people... Sven, why is love so hard?

Sven: (speaking in answer) You feel what you feel, and those feelings are real. Come on, Kristoff. Let down your guard.

Lost in the Woods

[Kristoff:]

Again, you're gone

Off on a different path than mine

I'm left behind

Wondering if I should follow

You had to go

And, of course, it's always fine

I probably could catch up with you tomorrow

But is this what it feels like

To be growing apart?

When did I become the one

Who's always chasing your heart?

Now I turn around and find

I am lost in the woods

North is south, right is left

When you're gone

I'm the one who sees you home

But now I'm lost in the woods

And I don't know what path you are on

I'm lost in the woods

Up 'til now

The next step was a question of how

I never thought it was a question of whether

[Five flashbacks of the first film play]

Who am I, if I'm not your guy? Where am I, if we're not together?

[Scene switches to present]

Forever?

Now I know you're my true north, 'cause I am lost in the woods

Up is down, day is night. When you're not there

Oh, you're my only landmark

So I'm lost in the woods

Wondering if you still care

But I'll wait

For a sign

(For a sign)

That I'm your path

'Cause you are mine

(You are mine)

Until then

I'm lost in the woods

(Lost in the woods

Lost

Lost in the woods

Lost

Lost in the woods)

I'm lost in the woods

(Lost in the woods

Lost

Lost)

I'm lost in the woods

Ends

(Broken-hearted, Kristoff slumbers into sadness as the sisters and Olaf started to head northwards from the Northuldran village, only to find the sunken ship, which would lead clues to the mysterious voice)

[Elsa mimics the voice, trying to find it, only for Olaf to attempt it too, giving the fire spirit and Anna a near heart attack]

Anna: Hey Olaf, umm... Maybe just one of you should do it.

Olaf: I agree, she's a little pitchy. (Gale reappears, directing Elsa to the wrecked ship nearby) Hey, Gale's back!

- How can it be?

- What is it?

Mother and father's ship

But this isn't the southern sea

No, it isn't

Why their ship is here

How're their here

It must have been washed

in from the dark sea

What would it be doing in the dark sea?

I don't know

How did the ship get through the mist?

I thought nobody could but us,

unless...

Nobody was on it

There's gotta be something here

Wait, wait, look around Every Arandellian ship has a compartment, waterproof. That's very clever, although that makes me wonder why they don't just make the whole ship waterproof? Here! I don't know, but look, this is mother's handwriting! "The end of the ice age, the river found but lost Magic's source" Elsa's sources? It's a map. They traveled north, planned to cross the dark sea to... Ahtohallan - It's real? - Ahtoha- what? It's a magical river said to hold all the answers about the past. Do you reinforcing my water has a memory theory? Water has memory Elsa? I wanna know what happened to them - Ahtohallan is the source of the magic - We keep going For Elsa ... Waves are too high! Elsa! Hey hey, what are you doing? This is my fault, they were looking for answers about me. You are not responsible for their choices, Elsa. No, just their deaths. Stop. Yelana asks why would the spirit reward Arendelle with the magical queen? Because our mother saved our father. She saved her enemy! Her good deed was rewarded With you - You are a gift. - For what? If anyone can resolve the past, if anyone can save Arendelle and free this forest, it's you. I believe in you Elsa, more than anyone or anything. Honeymaren said there was a fifth spirit. A bridge between magical nature and us - A fifth spirit? - That what's been calling me From Ahtohallan! The answers about the past are all there. So, we go to Ahtohallan? Not we, Me. The dark sea is too dangerous for us both. No, we do this together. Remember the song, "Go too far and you'll be drowned"? Who will stop you from going too far?

Elsa: You said you believed in me that this is what I was born to do.

Anna: And I don't want to stop you from that. I-I don't want to stop you from being whatever you need to be. I just don't want you dying, trying to be everything for everyone else too. Don't do this alone. Let me help you, please. I can't lose you, Elsa.

Elsa: [hugs Anna tightly] I can't lose you either, Anna. [to Olaf] Come on.

[As Olaf joins in the group hug, Elsa sends Anna and Olaf away to safety on an ice boat]

Anna: Wait, what? What are you doing? Elsa!

[Elsa sadly looks on and smoking out of her ears]

No, no ... Olaf, help me stop Give me a hand! Hang on! Oh no Come on! Anna, this is might sounds crazy, but I'm - sensing some rising anger - Ah, Oh, I am angry, Olaf! - She promised me we do this together. - Yeah, but ... What I mean is I'm sensing rising anger in me - Wait, you're angry? - I think so Elsa pushed me away too and Didn't even say goodbye - And you have every right to to be very, very mad at her And you've said some things never changed, but since then Everything done's nothing but change. - I know But look I'm still here holding your hand Yeah, I think that's a good point Anna I feel better, you're such a good listener Shh, shh, shh! Look! Oh the Giants, they're huge Hang on Olaf Try not to scream Found it Thank you. Where are we? In a pit, with no way out But with this spooky pitch black way in Come on, it'll be fun Assuming we don't get stuck here forever and no one ever find us You started it and I gave up But bright side Elsa gotta be all out better than we are

Elsa: Of course..! Glaciers are rivers of ice! Ahtohallan is frozen... (Vocalizing) I hear you, and I'm coming...

Show Yourself

(Elsa)

Every inch of me is trembling

But not from the cold

Something is familiar

Like a dream I can reach but not quite hold

I can sense you there

Like a friend I've always known

I'm arriving

And it feels like I am home

I have always been a fortress

Cold secrets deep inside

You have secrets, too

But you don't have to hide

Show yourself

I'm dying to meet you

Show yourself

It's your turn

Are you the one I've been looking for

All of my life?

Show yourself

I'm ready to learn

Ah-ah, ah-ah

(Siren)

Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

(Elsa)

I've never felt so certain

All my life I've been torn

But I'm here for a reason

Could it be the reason I was born?

I have always been so different

Normal rules did not apply

Is this the day?

Are you the way

I finally find out why?

Show yourself

I'm no longer trembling

Here I am

I've come so far

You are the answer I've waited for

All of my life

Oh, show yourself

Let me see who you are

Come to me now

Open your door

Don't make me wait

One moment more

Oh, come to me now

Open your door

Don't make me wait

One moment more

(Choir, Iduna)

Where the north wind meets the sea

(Ah-ah, ah-ah)

There's a river

(Ah-ah, ah-ah)

Full of memory (Memory, memory)

Come, my darling, homeward bound

(Elsa)

I am found

(Elsa and Iduna)

Show yourself

Step into the power

Grow yourself

Into something new

(Iduna)

You are the one you've been waiting for

(Elsa)

All of my life (All of your life)

Oh, show yourself

(Elsa, Choir)

Ah-ah, ah-ah

Ends

I just wasn't looking where I was going, but I'm great Actually ... Prince Hans of the Southern Isle I love you. I need to tell you about my past - And where I'm from? - I'm listening Iduna! - What are you reading, your Majesty? - Just some outdated author King Runeard, I'm sorry, I don't understand We're bringing Arendelle's full guard But they have given us no reason not to trust them The Northuldra follow magic Which means we can never trust them.

Elsa: Grandfather?

King Runeard: [in a memory] Magic makes people feel too powerful. Too entitled, it makes them think they can defy the will of a king.

Elsa: That is not what magic does. That's just your fear. Fear is what can't be trusted.

[King Runeard and the guard disappear through the wall. Elsa opens it with her magic and follows them down a dark tunnel.]

King Runeard: [in a memory] You see, the Dam will weaken their lands, so they will have to turn to me.

Iduna: (echo) ...and a path for you, dive down deep into her sound...

[Elsa stops at the edge of the path. Far down below is the Well of Ahtohallan, the deepest part of the glacier.]

Iduna: (echo) ...but not too far or you'll be drowned.

King Runeard: [in a memory] They will come in celebrations, and then, we will know their size and strength.

[It changes to another memory as Elsa looks on, staring down from the last safe area.]

King Runeard: [in a memory] As you have welcomed us, we welcome you. Our neighbors, our friends.

[Elsa hesitates for only a few more moments, and then she takes a leap of faith and jumps off the path. After several seconds of falling, she lands. A memory set in a peaceful, beautiful forest surrounds her. She starts shivering and breathing mist. She looks at her hands, and icy snowflakes start to form over them. She's going too far. Another part of the memory catches her attention as the pure white, icy snowflakes spread across her body.]

Northuldra Leader: [in a memory] King Runeard, the Dam isn't strengthening our waters, it's hurting the forest! It's cutting off the North--!

King Runeard: [in a memory] Let... Let's not discuss this here. Let's, meet on the fjord. Have tea, Find a solution.

[That memory stops as Elsa's hair changes from platinum blonde to pure white and the snowflakes start covering her face. Elsa looks around as she gets colder and colder. The Northuldra Leader kneels, with just a cup in his hands. King Runeard slowly approaches him from behind. Elsa looks to her right and watches as he unsheathes his sword and makes a run toward the leader.]

Elsa: No!

[Elsa tries to move forward out of disbelief, but she doesn't. Her legs are frozen to the floor by rising, dark blue ice. And it's rapidly spreading up to the rest of her body. She's gone too far. Elsa fearfully watches in horror and disbelief as her right arm freezes in place. She looks up, only barely able to do so as her lower torso freezes.]

Elsa: Anna!

[Elsa sends out a single stream of magic through her left hand. It goes up, slicing through the air. Barely a moment later, Elsa finishes freezing into an ice statue. Doomed to be frozen, stuck in a near-unreachable place. Forever.]

Which blacky tunnel do we choose?~

You see, the Dam will weaken their lands

So they will have to turn to me

King Runeard, the Dam is hurting the forest!

Elsa's found it

- What is it?

- The truth about the past

That's my grandfather

Attacking the Northuldra leader

Who wields no weapon

The Dam wasn't a gift of peace

It was a trick

But that goes against everything Arendelle stands for.

It does, doesn't it?

I know how to free the forest,

I know what we have to do,

To set things right

Why do you say that so sadly?

We have to break the Dam

But Arendelle will be flooded

That's why everyone was forced out

To protect them from

what has to be done

Are you okay?

I could really use a bright side, Olaf

The bright side, um

Turtles can breathe through their butts?

And I see a way out

I knew I can count on you

Come on, Olaf

Elsa's probably on her way back

right now, we can meet her and-

Olaf?

What's this? - Are you okay?

- I'm flurring?

Wait, no, that's not it

I'm flurring, away...

The magic in me is fading

What?

I don't think Elsa is okay

I think...

She may have gone too far

No, no.

- Anna

I'm sorry

You're gonna have to do

this next part on your own

Okay?

-Wait, come here

I've got you

That's good

Hey Anna

I just thought of one thing that's permanent.

-What's that?

Love

Warm hugs?

I like warm hugs

I love you

Olaf, Elsa

What do I do now?

The Next Right Thing

I've seen dark before

But not like this

This is cold

This is empty

This is numb

The life I knew is over

The lights are out

Hello, darkness

I'm ready to succumb

I follow you around

I always have

But you've gone to a place I cannot find

This grief has a gravity

It pulls me down

But a tiny voice whispers in my mind

"You are lost, hope is gone

But you must go on

And do the next right thing"

Can there be a day beyond this night?

I don't know anymore what is true

I can't find my direction, I'm all alone The only star that guided me was you

How to rise from the floor

When it's not you I'm rising for?

Just do the next right thing

Take a step, step again

It is all that I can to do

The next right thing

I won't look too far ahead

It's too much for me to take

But break it down to this next breath

This next step

This next choice is one that I can make

So I'll walk through this night

Stumbling blindly toward the light

And do the next right thing

And with the dawn, what comes then

When it's clear that everything will never be the same again?

Then I'll make the choice

To hear that voice

And do the next right thing

Ends

Anna: Wake up!

Anna: Wake up!!!

Anna: That's it!

Anna: Come and catch me! Come on!

Anna: Okay, that's it!

Anna: Keep coming!

Anna: That worked

Mattias: What? No, no, no, no. She's leading them to the dam!

Anna: Kristoff!

Kristoff: I'm here. What do you need?

Anna: To get to the dam!

Kristoff: You got it!

Anna: Thank you!

Anna: Help me up!

Kristoff: We'll meet you around!

Anna: Lieutenant Mathias

Mattias: Your Highness, What are you doing?

Anna: The dam must fall. It's the only way to break the mist and free the forest

Mattias: But we've sworn to protect Arendelle at all costs!

Anna: Arendelle has no future until we make this right! King Runeard betrayed everyone!

Mattias: How do you know that?

Anna: My sister gave her life, for the truth. Please, before we lose anyone else.

Anna: Destroy the Dam, come on!

Anna: Throw your boulders!

Anna: That's it

Mattias: I got her

Kristoff: Hang on

(The Elsa unfinishes freezing into an ice statue, while Flood signals to Elsa Saves Arendelle has returned the citizens of arendelle cheer.)

Anna: I'm sorry I left you behind. I was just so desperate to protect her.

Kristoff: I know, I know, it's okay. My love is not fragile.

Ryder: Look at the sky. I just didn't realize there so much of it.

Mattias: 34 years...

Yelena: 5 months...

Mattias: And 23 days.

(The reindeer move out in freedom, while Gale signals to Anna that her sister has returned)

Anna: Is it really you?

Elsa: Anna!

[Anna runs over to Elsa as she starts crying tears of joy and hugs her]

Anna: [crying] I thought I lost you.

Elsa: Lost me? You saved me, [wipes her tears away with her thumb] again.

Anna: [crying] I did?

Elsa: And, Anna, Arendelle did not fall.

Anna: [still crying] It didn't?

Elsa: The spirits all agree, Arendelle deserves to stand with you.

Anna: [sniffles] Me?

Elsa: You did what was right, for everyone.

Anna: Did you find the fifth spirit?

[Elsa smiles]

Anna: [gasps] You are the fifth spirit. You're the bridge.

Elsa: Well, actually, a bridge has two sides. And a mother had two daughters. We did this together. And we'll continue to do this together.

Anna: Together.

Kristoff: Elsa! You're okay! [runs over to Elsa and hugs her]

[At the same time, Sven runs over to her]

Kristoff: You look different. Did you cut your hair or something?

Elsa: [smiles] Or something.

Kristoff: Oh.

Elsa: Anna, I need to ask you a question

Anna: Okay

Elsa: Do you wanna build a snowman?

Anna: What?

Elsa: Thank goodness, water has memory

Olaf: Anna, Elsa Kristoff and Sven You all came back! I love a happy ending! I mean I presume we're done Or is this putting us in more dangerous situation gonna be, a regular thing?

Elsa: No, we're done

Kristoff: - Actually... There is one more thing, Anna..

Kristoff: You are the most extraordinary person I've ever known

Kristoff: I love you with all I am

Kristoff: Will you marry me?

Anna: Yes!

Anna: Arendelle's okay

Mattias: - What?

Elsa: Ahtohallan is beautiful

Elsa: Hello.

Honeymaren: You know You belong up here

Elsa: I took an oath to always do what's best for Arendelle Luckily,

Elsa: I Love You to Sisters.

Choir: Love is a song that never ends, One simple theme repeating, Like the voice Of a heavenly choir

[Anna and Elsa Joy and Hugs each other. The storybook fades in, showing the exact same scene, and is slowly closed. The storybook says "And they lived happily ever after" below the picture. Still, the dress changes its enchanted forest]

Choir: Love's sweet music Flows on

At the post-credits scene, Olaf acts out a story.

Olaf: [vocalizes the voice] (if you see someone else's name in this one, it means Olaf is impersonating them.) [Elsa] Show yourself!! RIGHT NOW! [Iduna] Elsa, be who you are. [Elsa] Oh I will Mama, I will! [normal voice] Elsa's DEAD. Olaf's DEAD. Anna cries... [talks fast] And then a bunch of important things happen that I forgot but all that matters is I was right and water has memory and thus... [gasps] I LIVE. And so do you.

[the audience is Marshmallow and little snowman]

Marshmallow: Whoa! We live! [the snowman cheer] WE LIIIIIIVE!!!! [laughs] Good story, ahh.

The End.

Attention the Court VI

Ryan wakes up to the sound of the door bell ringing. He rolls to get up but is stopped by his baby bump. It looks overdue. He peels off his fishnet shirt as he sits up. He looks around to see his any of his two gentlemen guests are still around, but it seems that the two of them left during the night. He shrugs it off. The encounters were casual and all parties knew that going in. He gets up. It's getting harder and harder to move the baby bump. It's growing so quickly and the rest of his body hasn't kept up. He puts on a tight blue shirt and red basketball shorts that should be loose but hugs his flesh. He waddles to the door of his condominium. He opens up the door to find a massive red basket overflowing with a odd variety of fruits and a small blue envelope.

He drags the two inside and pops open the envelope. It's a statement saying that $168,750 has been added to his account. He smiles at the number as he rubs his belly. He's going to need it to provide for all his kids. He turns to the fruit basket. The bounty contains an eclectic collect of fruits; avocados and coconuts usually require more preparation to be included in a typical fruit basket. He has to eat it, and the elephant is eaten one bite at a time. He rips into the red plastic and pulls out a peach. He bites into and is hit with how sweet and sweet it is. Juice pours down his chin as he gobbles the flesh around the pit. He puts the pit down, unaware of the fact of his ass swelling larger, jutting further from his form by an inch. His shorts grow to accommodate his larger form, staying as tight as always. He rips into a cloth bag full of berries. A strange menagerie of berries lie within it. He pops them all inside his mouth; each of them sweet and tart. Each of them causes a small surge in his body. Feature harden and sharpen as muscles grow and bulge within his body. By the time he's through the one bag, he's five pounds heavier with muscle. He takes out one of the bananas and peels it. He pops it in his mouth in one bite. It's the best banana he's ever eaten, though it was oddly a bit unrip. He crotch swells forwards as his dick grows and lengthens. It's circumference and length have both grown by half an inch. He looks at the olives packed in a tiny jar, and he licks his lips. Maybe they might help flush out the sweetness in his mouth, to make the other fruits sweet again. He pops open one of the jars and plucks out a fruit from the brine. It's bitter and salty. As he masticates, his mouth floods with saliva. Without thinking, he grabs two more, then three more. every bite he takes, he grows heavier. As the berries hardened features, the olives soften them, but both add weight. His fat seems to collect at the bottom bottom of his belly, his thighs, the sides of his torso the most. When the olives are all gone, he still craves that savory taste, he picks up the jar and chugs down the brine. When he's done with the jar, he's find pounds fatter than when he started. He looks at the avocados. Packages of crackers lay beside them. He walks into the kitchen, his footsteps falling just a little bit harder than they used to. He grabs a sharp knife, a spoon, and butterknife. Split it open by cutting around the pit, scoop out the flesh from the skin, and spread it over the crackers. The result is easy to nosh on, and quickly the crackers are gone. Just as quickly, the bulge of his red shorts fills out as his balls plump up, becoming 25% percent larger than they were. Kyle still doesn't realize the changes to his body, his mind all making it all normal and fine. He picks up one of the coconuts, while trying to remember how to open them up from that one time his friend showed him in college. Underneath the collection of coconuts is a skewer, a mallet, and a sharp spoon. Now he remembers. He pokes opens up one of the soft spot that lay at the "eyes." He lifts up the coconut and gulps down the milk that pours out. It's oddly a lot of water for a ripe one. His arms automatically adjust as his pecs swell a little bit. He cracks open the rest with a mallet, and scoops out the flesh from the two halves, eating the meat as he scoops it out like he's eating out of carton of ice cream. When there's only the shell left, his pecs jut out an inch more, and his nipples larger and longer. He's still hungry, and there's so much fruit just for him.

Kyle finishes off a peach, by sucking off every bit of flesh from its pit. He looks around for something else, but all he finds is empty red packaging. Then he hears the doorbell ring. He waddles over to the door. The floor boards of his new condominium creek and groan under his weight. His belly, filled with 128 kids, already looks overdue despite being five weeks along. His his body is now a whole lot more stout. He's 175 pounds stronger and 165 pounds fatter. His thighs rub together. His back is wider, his lats widen the top and love handles at the bottom. His arms are bigger than a lot people's heads. His ass sways as he waddles, each cheek the size of a yoga ball, and they match his chest, though the latter are bigger. Golf balls sized nipples sit on large areolae are painfully obvious behind the blue fabric that contain them. Swinging beneath his belly is a 19 inch monster supplied by two productive melon sized balls. He opens up his door and leans forwards a bit, his chest making it hard for him to see things bellow his eye level. It's one of his gentleman quests from last night. The man blushes at Kyle's new form, though neither can mentally process the change as abnormal. "I think I left my charger here. Mind if I grab it?" Kyle rubs his baby bump. "Sure, though if you aren't busy right now. I wouldn't mind if you gave me a proper goodbye before leaving again or continuing our fun last night." The man turns redder. His pants tent up. "I would love that." Good peers. I have noticed something. Kyle is spending all this time with these gentle men, but beyond their exciting time together, they part so easily. I think there should be an effect on each other, gifts in my normal fashion of course. The court shall pick two option this time, the two leaders prevailing as the gifts and maybe even combining. Now let's the options. Virile Father: why should Kyle be the only one so blessed, his lovers shall be growing children of his own. Virile Suitors: his lovers shall be now give our dear Kyle more children. Generous Giver: Kyle shall make his companions larger. Greedy Grower: his companions shall make our client grow. Waste Not: every lustful encounter shall make every 128 kid grow. Patron Patriarch: fortune shall find his paramours. Patronized Patriarch: Every paramour shall make Kyle wealthier. Binding Bed: All that Kyle shall bed shall be bound by strange magics to his fate. All of the Above! Nothing

(Sorry for the delay. Life got complicated and I didn't have the time or when I did not the energy for the next part.)

Soulmates: Chapter XIX

(Previous Chapters: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

Lena felt a little guilty as she stared down at the sandwich in her hand.

Not for the morning spent teasing Kara breathless and panting but for the lie she had told after.

Then again it was straight out of Kara’s old playbook. Not technically a lie but just a little bit of missing context.

Lena didn’t go to work; not right away at least. That was the main thing she felt conflicted about. She had known for some time she wasn’t going to work because Thursday mornings had become a period for constantly reliable out of office engagement.

A short interim of time spent elsewhere, nothing salacious, sometimes an hour, sometimes four, and she didn’t really talk about it to anyone.

At first, Lena didn’t mention it because she thought it might awaken something painful for Kara. That feeling passed. It solidified and became its own secret, just for the sake of having a secret to keep between old friends, silly, fun, and little more than that.

She had been meaning to talk to Kara about it.

She just didn’t know how anymore.

“It does look like bunny ears,” Cat agreed.

“You want half?” Lena offered the other one forward.

“With respect, I would rather try and perform fellatio on a horse running the Kentucky Derby.” Cat’s eyes came to the side again, smirking at the paltry excuse of a sandwich, then back to the television. “Salmonella written all over it.”

“I know, I said the same.” Lena sighed and leaned back in the plastic chair. “How are you feeling?”

“Good.”

“I’m being serious.”

“I know,” Cat sighed. “Me too.”

“You don’t want…” Lena wasn’t even sure what there was to offer. “I can’t get you anything?”

“A magic bullet to rewrite the faulty genetic code that is causing cells to uncontrollably divide and spread into the healthy tissue of my body?” Cat suggested. “Did you pack that with your sandwiches this morning?”

“Forgot it on the kitchen table, sorry.” Lena shrugged and earned a grin. “Cat?”

“Yeah?”

“I love you.”

Cat sat there, unbothered by it, in her perfectly Catherine Grant kind of way. There she was in a hospital bed drowning in the size of the gown, some inches too big, still growing bigger by the day, yet still so immaculate and beautiful.

There was this power she held in her hands, even like this, it simply exuded from her; to sit there with an IV pole, dangling chest port, with this certain pronounced thinness from the treatment, and yet she was beautiful in a way that announced itself—demanded it from the eye of the beholder.

Fierce, dignified, highlighter and blush on her cheeks because she still held herself to that standard, and Lena could tell that her blonde hair had been cut and styled, blown out, some pride put into it despite…

Lena didn’t want to acknowledge that Cat’s hair was thinner than last Thursday, but it was. Cat didn’t care, for as long as she had it, she would make the best of it, the most of it, and that was yet another perfectly Catherine Grant thing to do given the circumstances.

“Cat?”

“If you tell me that you love me again—”

“I do.” Lena nodded, solemn, exasperated, staring at nothing. “You are…one of my best friends. You are the person who was there every day, when Sam died, when I was sick and in the hospital after, you killed every hit piece dead in the water—never said a single thing in the magazine despite knowing all the big scoops. I hate things feel weird between us, I hate that you don’t call or text anymore. I hate that we’re not talking about the elephant in the room because you are—were—my best friend.”

“And yet here you are, despite all of this supposed disconnect from my end, every week, more reliable and on time than a German train service.” Cat’s eyes twinkled with amusement, though she never looked away from the television. “Lena, I don’t call or text because I’m…” She gestured at herself, at the room, as though it was arrogant for Lena to assume some priority above it in her thought processes. “Listen, I don’t know what elephant you think there is but if you want to talk about it you should talk about it.”

“Kara.”

“Nope.” Cat shook her head.

“You’re soulmates.”

“We may very well have been,” Cat quietly agreed in a way that was non-committal to the idea, then shrugged and finally looked at her friend. “Here’s the thing, Lena. We can play what if games, we can go round in circles, talk about hypotheticals where I have some long years ahead of me, where Kara is…” She shook her head, as though wanting to say something based and cruel, yet struggling to find something.

That was very unlike Cat Grant.

“She does this thing, you know.” Lena stared off to the side, thinking about it, smiling despite how sad it made her feel. “We’ll be doing something, watching television, eating dinner, whatever. I’ll say something. She doesn’t reply. Then I look and she’s…” Lena gestured at nothing. “She’s away in some daydream, with this vacant look on her face, and I know she’s playing out a different life—some life she says that she doesn’t think about despite very much, constantly, always running away from anything that makes her think about it. She just sort of comes back to life, and there’s this look in her eyes, as though she’s looking at me but seeing…”

Lena didn’t know how to say it.

She didn’t want to say it because then she would be admitting it.

But she gestured.

And Cat understood.

“Lena.” Cat gestured her hands for the rambler to slow down on her rapid, nervous rabbiting. “It sounds as though you care a whole lot more than either of us do and for that I can only apologise.”

“I am objectively the person who should be apologising to you.”

“That won’t be necessary. I sincerely am sorry that I have…become an imagined competitor in your relationship with Kara Danvers. I want you to be happy. I want Kara to be happy. I want that for you both because me?” She stared very seriously. “I have had the happiest, biggest, greatest of lives. I regret nothing. I wish for nothing. If I am supposed to be sat here, filled with regret, then I’m not.”

“I’m not Kara, Cat.” Lena pushed forward slightly. “I know you well enough, for long enough, that I know when you’re talking out of your ass.”

“Then ask me whatever it is you really want to ask me, Lena.” Cat closed her eyes and sighed.

“Did you…” Lena stopped, because she didn’t want to ask, she just wanted the answer so that if ever Kara wanted to know, one day, then someone would have answers to give her. “Did you feel some pull, some awareness? People say that but I wouldn’t know. I just, I’m curious?”

Cat opened her eyes and looked at Lena with a faint, vague expression that couldn’t be deduced. It wasn’t displeasure but it wasn’t a happy memory.

“I felt drawn to her, yes.” Cat nodded. “I think…a week after she started with the temp agency? I realised I was having to force myself to call her Keira. I knew her name, and I don’t know names, not assistants at least.”

“That doesn’t sound very romantic.”

“Because it isn’t.”

“Do you love her?” Lena blurted.

That took Cat back more than a little. She blinked, then blinked again. Lena felt guilty because the answer wasn’t for Kara. It was selfish, it was necessary, it was something she herself wanted to understand, because how could Cat possibly not love that girl?

More than that, Lena didn’t feel jealousy, just this faint sense of unselfish purpose to somehow give everyone a little of whatever they needed. Mostly because she felt greedy, as though there had been an abundance in her life, a prolonged series of habitual good things, despite the fact it wasn’t true. Her wife had died. She had grieved it then, still grieved it now, but there was joy, and her love with Kara didn’t feel like a band aid. It felt like a breath of life. It felt like this good, insular thing where she might make a home for the rest of her life.

But, Lena knew what she had been seeing as time had gone on.

She knew because she used to do the same thing, staring off, losing herself, playing house with Sam long after she passed, wondering about a life that would never take root. The trouble was that Kara still had time to know things, hold it in her hands, have moments beyond the realm of her imagination, and Lena felt it was be selfish—repugnant—to deny her of that.

To deny either of them that small moment in time to just have whatever the universe wanted to give them.

“Your lack of answer is an answer,” Lena told her straight. “I’m not asking because I’m hoping for one or the other. I’m asking because…we’re too old, too jaded, and too fucking deep into this thing not to talk about it?” She rolled her eyes at her friend.

Cat sighed and looked at her manicure resting in her lap.

“She is a very pretty girl.” Cat smiled to herself. “She reminds me of myself when I was younger. It’s not the sweetness, it’s the fury, every now and then her eyes would…” Cat imitated Kara’s expression, eyes narrowing with tension, angry and righteously laser-focused. “I know you won’t believe me but there isn’t some pointed, obsessive attraction. I don’t think I’m supposed to have a soulmate, Lena, because the truth of the matter is that I like women, a little, sure, but I have always preferred men because they are stupid and well-behaved, and Kara Danvers is neither of those things.”

“Please talk to her?” Lena shut her eyes and pleaded.

“I don’t want to make this situation any worse than it—”

“Please,” Lena begged between tight, uncomfortable lips. “Cat, please let her know you a little better. I want to spend my life with her. I want to be the woman who is rock solid and there when she needs me the most. You—” Lena felt a dampness on her cheeks because it hurt, not just for Kara, but her heart too, Cat was her true friend.

“Well go on.” Cat snarked, smiling a little. “Don’t quit just before you start blowing smoke up my ass. You were saying?”

“I was saying, you royal bitch.” They both chuckled and staved off some differing sized rocks in their throats. “You are bowing out in a way only you ever could, you know? A little too early, but still in your own time, with everyone on baited breath hoping for an encore because you are Catherine fucking Grant.” There was such fierce respect in the way she said that name. “I do not know how I am supposed to compete with you, Cat, at some point after the dust settles when she starts to put you on the pedestal. I do not know how to explain and talk about my friend, to the girl I love, knowing that she is falling in love with some version of you in the back of her brain.”

“Kara Danvers will never put me on a pedestal. I think, personally, for her to have my name on her ass cheek?” Cat lifted a brow and thought about it. “Well, she is the person consecrated by the universe to not put me on the pedestal. Everyone else does, seems only right that she wouldn’t.”

“She is twenty-three, but she won’t be always.” Lena shrugged. “What the fuck am I going to do when she’s thirty, forty, then fifty, and she stops and looks around and realises she’s closer to you than she ever was when you were alive? I mean, fuck, dude, don’t do that to me?” Lena scowled at her best friend.

“Lena,” Cat cleared her throat. “I don’t want you to worry.”

“I’m worried.”

“Then shut up and stop worrying.” Cat levelled. “Jesus Christ. Only you. Only fucking you could step on to an oncology unit and feel like you have the right to be upset and wronged by the world. Yes, fine, I will write a letter or something. Just, please can you leave now?” Cat made her laugh without meaning too. She grinned despite herself, rubbing her temples. “Go. Bring actual food next week, and champagne, two bottles, something corked before we were born.”

“Cat?”

“I know,” Cat shooed, “You too.”

lyrics iv;

Let’s see what we get this time. The boys can wait. I’m essentially using this for mediation to relax my mind.

“Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked” by Cage The Elephant

I’m honestly not sure where I heard this song first, but I will say I very recently connected with the following lines:

“Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked Money don't grow on trees I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed There ain't nothing in this world for free I know I can't slow down I can't hold back Though you know I wish I could Oh, no there ain't no rest for the wicked Until we close our eyes for good"

I’m using these lyrics to justify my toxic work ethic.

“Be Kind (with Halsey)” by Marshmellow

I played this song so many times in 2020 that it ended up on my Spotify Wrapped. I really love the message here, and I’m happy this came up on my shuffle. Take it to heart, truly.

“I know you need, I know you need The upper hand even when we aren't fighting 'Cause in the past, you had to prepare every time, yeah Don't wanna leave, don't wanna leave But if you're gonna fight, then do it for me I know you're built to love, but broken now, so just try, yeah I know you're chokin' on your fears Already told you I'm right here I will stay by your side every night I don't know why you hide from the one And close your eyes to the one Mess up and lie to the one that you love When you know you can cry to the one Always confide in the one You can be kind to the one that you love”

“The Only Exception” by Paramore

I’ve listened to this song like a prayer my whole life, I think. I’ve always thought the message was a little sad, even though this is considered a love song but she says the following lines:

“When I was younger, I saw My daddy cry and curse at the wind He broke his own heart and I watched As he tried to reassemble it And my mama swore that she would Never let herself forget And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love if it does not exist But, darling, you are the only exception.”

It’s not a love song. It’s a surrender to feelings that she was trying to kill within herself. The entire song she’s saying she knows it’s going to end, and it’s not real.

But she went for it anyway.

I’ll add a bonus line from this song;

“And I've always lived like this Keeping a comfortable distance And up until now, I had sworn To myself that I'm content with loneliness Because none of it was ever worth the risk.”

Of course, she ends with “I’m on my way to believing” but then her relationship failed so what did we learn?

“Leave a Light On” by Tom Walker

This song was written for those struggling. I’ve largely used it to soundtrack scenes between my characters to pan out deep connections/friendships. It’s a beautiful song.

“If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill Guiding like a lighthouse It's a place where you'll be safe to feel our grace 'Cause we've all made mistakes If you've lost your way I will leave the light on”

Everyone wants a friend like this, and I hope you find them.

“Losing Your Memory” by Ryan Star

Another sad song, of course. And another song from The Vampire Diaries soundtrack. (👀👀). I’ve used this song for personal writings as well because it’s emotionally gut-wrenching. I’ve always been drawn to this song, but I’ve truthfully never deep dived on the lyrics.

I loved these lines:

“Wake up, it's time, little girl, wake up All the best of what we've done is yet to come Wake up, it's time, little girl, wake up Just remember who I am in the morning You're losing your memory now.”

It’s a sweet reminder.

“savior” by Beowulf

This is a cover of w Hillsong UNITED song called “oceans” that this youth pastor once showed me. I’m not super religious, but I do love the devotion and sadness in this song. Again, it’s surrender.

“Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders Let me walk upon the waters wherever You would call me Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander And my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my savior.”

Regardless of faith, it’s utter devotion. Chills, always.

“Where do we go now?” by Gracie Abrams

This song is new on my playlist (within the last couple months). I’ve always liked it for scene writing, and just the emotion in the question of “where do we go now?”

My favorite lines:

“I know I changed overnight So I can't blame you for fightin' And I'd be losin' my mind If you lived in your writin' 'Cause now I'm half of myself here without you You're the best in my life and I lost you And we had no control when it fell through It was one-sided, hate how I hurt you.”

“Ashley” by Halsey

“Ashley” is actually my theme song. The whole song, word for word. Halsey struggles with Bipolar Disorder and when you’re trying to fight mental illness in a bid to be successful and creative, it feels like a constant cycle between death and rebirth, high and low. I’ve got so many parts of this song that I could drop below, but I’m going to leave it with the current theme of my life.

Lines:

“And I don't wanna be somebody in America, just fighting the hysteria I only wanna die someday.”

“Mama” by My Chemical Romance

I’ve oddly been obsessed with this song since I was 12. Way wrote it in response to 9/11 and the Iraq war. I used it for a Kylo Ren / Leia mash-up because the lyrics fit.

“And when we go don't blame us, yeah We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah You made us oh so famous; We'll never let you go She said, "You ain't no son of mine!" For what you've done they're Gonna find a place for you And just you. Mind your manners when you go. And when you go don't return to me my love, That's right Mama, we all go to hell.”

“Under the Water” by The Pretty Reckless.

If you didn’t know, the lead singer of The Pretty Reckless played Cindy Lou Who in the live-action grinch. Her style has vastly changed, and for the better. Her music, her lyrics and everything about her seethes beauty.

“There's not a time for being younger And all my friends are enemies And if I cried unto my mother No, she wasn't there, she wasn't there for me Don't let the water drag you down (Don't let the water drag you down) Don't let the water drag you down.”

I probably should’ve understood my obsession with this song a lot sooner.

“Illuminated” by Hurts

I fell in love with Hurts because surprise, surprise The Vampire Diaries. L.J. Smith really did a number on my soul, loves. I particularly love the drama behind their songs, and use them to write scenes.

I’d probably have sex to this song just to see if there’s a build.

“Swing me these sorrows And try delusion for a while It's such a beautiful lie You've got to lose inhibition Romance your ego for a while Come on, give it a try Suddenly my eyes are open Everything comes into focus, oh We are all illuminated Lights are shining on our faces, blinding.”

“Phases” by Maggie Lindemann

Y’all ever fuck with someone that couldn’t decide if they wanted you, someone else, to be single, or to be happily married with two children? This is the song for you.

“You only want me in phases Only hit me up when you're wasted Hate it, treat me like a game, I won't play it You only love me when you feel like it I don't think love's supposed to feel like this Phases, take my heart, throw it on the pavement Break it, just so you can stitch it up and save it You only love me when you feel like it I don't think love's supposed to feel like this If you love me, if you don't, you should let me go.”

“I Don’t Wanna Know” by Charlie XCX

If you’re like me, and you overplay this song, just leave. It’s not even worth it.

“I know I'm losing you, so come on, tell the truth Don't you tell me you're sorry, don't pretend you're stormy 'Cause I don't wanna know, I already know What you've done, what you've done.”

“Selfish” by Madison Beer

This song helped me process one of the worst heartbreaks of my life.

“I don't wanna break your thread and needle Tryna stitch you, but I can't, I refuse Shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it Had a feeling that you never felt it I always knew that you were too damn selfish Don't know why I looked the other way I wanted you to change, yeah I shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it I always knew that you were too damn selfish.”

“Without Me” by Halsey

I’m getting tired of the breakup songs on my shuffle, but I have to admit this is a particularly good one.

“Found you when your heart was broke I filled your cup until it overflowed Took it so far to keep you close (keep you close) I was afraid to leave you on your own I said I'd catch you if you fall And if they laugh, then fuck 'em all (all) And then I got you off your knees Put you right back on your feet Just so you could take advantage of me.”

Halsey wrote this song about G-Eazy after he cheated on her after she miscarried their child. Great pain produces some of the most beautiful art. I’m so happy she’s in a better place now and finally the mother she wanted to be.

“Stay” by Rihanna

This song has been coming up on my shuffle a lot recently. I’m still trying to figure out if I’m a psychic or not so it could be channeled message, or just because I felt particularly called out by Mikky Ekko when he sang:

“It's not much of a life you're living It's not just something you take, it's given Round and around and around and around we go Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know Not really sure how to feel about it Something in the way you move Makes me feel like I can't live without you It takes me all the way And I want you to stay.”

And of course, we can’t leave out these lines:

“Well, funny you're the broken one But I'm the only one who needed saving 'Cause when you never see the light It's hard to know which one of us is caving.”

And yes, when I was in middle school, I did update my status using song lyrics.

Not Just Another Number...

Closed starter for @anurbanlcgend

Light travels faster than sound. Everyone knows that. But what most people don’t know? A bullet travels fastest. Sometimes hits its mark before the sound of it can even consider becoming an echo. That echo that reverberates in her skull. Wet heat on her skin. On her hands as pure shock has her looking down. Seeing what should be on the inside of her on the outside. Oddly it reminds her of properly made and blended marinara sauce. A slightly weird, if not disgusting thing to think of in the aftermath of a bullet ripping through her chest--but there it was.

The world streaking into colors. Buildings melding with sky. Brick with side walk. And the collison of her hitting gritty concrete. And maybe she notices the sky for the first time in a what feels like her whole life. Blue sky and whisps of clouds that so often go unappriciated because most everyone in this city lives in a bubble. Never thinking to look up let alone doing it. And the beauty of it is only interupted now by the fact she can’t breathe. By the instinct to cough as the dark closes in. By the fact she’s going t--

A half step back from crossing the street. No. No not that way. Worn converse on the sidewalk. A one eighty turn and weaving against the current of cross walkers until she can make it into the other lane of pedestrians. Feet hurrying her back to the corner, a breath. Two. A step towards the other crossing.

Eyes. Green like the living room used to be on Sunday mornings. The sun washing in from the windows. Lighting up her mother’s small jungle of creeping vines and elephant eared plants. Color that got reflected into the rest of the room. Warmed it up. Made if feel like a home as much as look like one. They alone make her want to trust. Believe in the person they belong to. Even if she knows nothing at all about him. Not yet. Doesn’t know the story set into the edges of a five o’clock shadow. The history written into the laugh lines. What little tales lie painted in thin strips of grey through black. But it feels safe. That face.

Hands on her arms. Ones that catch not restrain. Shattered glass, water splattered on her shirt not blood. Ear piercing sound that drowns out his voice. Soft wool gripped in her hands. Fingers in her hair that do their best to shelter amid more peels of thunder and then it all goes quiet like the New York City sidewalk she’s standing on isn’t.

A sharp intake. This way. This is the way she needs to go. And tired feet that have been traversing this city all night--she wills them to move from the dead stop the vision caused. The hood of her jacket pulled down further as she crosses the street and moves onward with the flow of other human beings trapped in their own bubbles.

---

That was hours ago. Now she stands at another street corner in a forgotten bit of concrete jungle. Staring up at the building that one day will be something else. A pity given the what it is. What she guesses it once was. It won’t ever see the glory days it once had. But so goes life right? Everything and everyone dies...eventually.

A morbid thought all things considered. A deep breath drawn in. Shoulders drawn square with it and then allowed to sag with its escape. Hands in the pockets of her hoodie balled into nervous fists. Feet shuffling near balding soles on the concrete. She has to get every facet of this right. One tiny flaw and the future she sees that is best won’t happen. She’s got to be brave. She’s got--

Movement. A sky blue gaze that fixates on the silhouette coming clear of the building. Lips that she wets. Hands that fist all the harder, before one hand is pulled out. Set to her hood, that’s pushed back. Lips that are already dry again drawn into a thin line with the hard swallow she takes as one foot is put forward. Then another and another and so on until she comes to a stop a dozen feet from the man she’s only ever seen in clipped imagery. Another breath as she pushes out what she needs to say. No matter how much she wishes she sounded bigger than she does.

“My name is Sasha Petrov...I think you’ve been looking for me?”

Long time no chat 🤱🏻

A lot has happened since the last time I’ve logged onto Tumblr, which was back in 2020!!! BACK WHEN COVID STARTED💀😱

It seems like I’m drawn back to this space in times where I just want to vent and freely say what’s on my mind without the fear of someone I know, IRL, read this blog. This is my space where I can say raw thoughts besides my journal. But sometimes I get tired writing or I can’t write as fast as I think so I need to type it out lol

So get ready, this is gonna be a doozy.

Let’s address the elephant in the room: I am now a mother!!! 👩‍👧 and married 👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏻💍 This past January, I gave birth to the cutest baby girl 🥰 I have been navigating this new world of motherhood and it has been a rollercoaster. Exhausting yet so rewarding. I’m learning SO much 🙏🏼

In the Asian culture, mothers who have just given birth must do a confinement period. To summarize, it’s basically staying indoors for at least a month to heal and restore nutrients to the mom. There are a lot of rules to this confinement period, such as:

No cold food or drinks

Use ginger water to bathe (fortunately, my mom was lenient on this rule and allowed me to shower normally after one week of confinement)

Best to stay indoors. But if you have to step outside, you must cover up (i.e., hat, scarf, long sleeve, long pants, mask)

So, for the month of February, I went back home with my family to do confinement. Not gonna lie, that first month was ROUGH. The sleepless nights and unpredictability was stressful. I am breastfeeding and stress really affects my supply. It’s hard not to stress about being stressed 🫠

Honestly, I couldn’t have done it without my mom 💕🙌🏻

After confinement, I went back to NYC with my husband and I was on my own. Don’t get me wrong, now that my baby is 4 months, my endurance is stronger than before and I am better prepared mentally and emotionally.

Well, I am back home again HAHA

My mom says I should stay until baby is 6 months because back in the city, it’s just me. I not only take care of the baby, but I also need to care for our dog, my husband himself and myself. I have been putting myself last. When we’d wake up, I’d feed baby. Then, I’d make breakfast for my husband and dog. And finally, when my husband leaves for work, I make myself breakfast. But at that point, I’m tired because the entire time, or most of it, I’m carrying or wearing my baby.

My baby will tolerate the wrap but if she’s in it for too long, she gets fussy. Especially when I’m in the kitchen cooking, I get hot and radiate heat, so then she gets hot and gets real fussy.

I bounce back and forth carrying her and putting her on the play mat, all while trying to make sure everyone is cared for.

It’s tiring. Mentally. Because I then feel guilty for putting myself first when I really need to put myself first if I want to feed my baby!! I hate feeling this way 😤

When my husband comes home from work, he’s tired and I know he prefers to watch some tv and go into his office. So, I always try to have dinner ready by the time he gets home, I let him eat while I play with baby (because she starts getting fussy when she’s laying by herself for more than 5 minutes) and when he’s done eating, he goes on the couch. I am afraid to ask him to hold the baby or watch the baby because he had a long day at work and plus he starts to get bored or fed up with her when she gets fussy. He’ll try to rock and bounce her but these share the same intense body heat. So he’ll start sweating after holding her for a minute. Although he doesn’t explicitly say, “can you eat faster?” He will joke about my eating slow. So at that point, after eating my dinner for 3 minutes, I’ll get the vibe from him that he want to give the baby to me.

So I, of course, stop eating and soothe her, and he goes into his office.

This is how most evenings go.

My food gets cold and when baby is finally content or I put her down for the night (which is around 11pm), I eat my cold food. I’m too tired and lazy to heat it up because I’d rather be in bed at that point. Sometimes if there’s a lot, my husband would rinse the dishes once and leave it for me to fully clean. But most of the time, after I eat, I wash the dishes and clean up.

Now that I am back home, my mom wants me to stay longer than what my husband wants. I’ve been here a week so far. Originally, my husband, dog, baby and I drove 5 hours ( I drove the whole way because my husband doesn’t have his license), and planned to stay for 6 days and then we’d all drive back together. But my husband had work so he took the AMTRAK back to the city while I stayed. We face timed, he said he was lonely and I asked if I should go back soon. He asked, “...can you?” And I just told him that I’d talk it over with my mom.

Ultimately, he agreed that I should stay longer because he knows that when I come back, my needs won’t be met because he’s in the transition of opening his own business and won’t be of much help at home.

When I came back home this time around and pumped for the first time since confinement, my milk was almost transparent like water. My mom basically said that it means it’s lacking nutrients or substance. I wasn’t eating rich enough foods or enough food in general to make more fatty milk, which gives it the milky, yellow-y color.

She saw how skinny I got since the last time she saw me. Thank God, my baby is healthy and chunky (15 pounder) 🥹 I gave my health to her, my mom said.

I can’t help but to feel guilty for not being there to take care of him.

*Sigh* I need to get better at standing up for myself.

lunch date

part 2 of this childhood friend drabble (ok fr frshould i name this childhood friend series or public sex series bcs hmm you'll see) pairing: gojo satoru + fem!reader genre: smut bcs i think with my hand down my pants when i see gojo tags//warning: established relationship public sex, gojo thinking with dick part 2, mention of breeding kink tagging: @unabashednightmarepizza @sukirichi @sassyeahhhh [lemme know if wanna be tagged in the next part] note: the obligatory trio of mine: unedited, lowercase intended, the obligatory trio of mine: not well edited, lowercase intended, english isnt my first language im sorry if i murder it.

“toru- ah, that hurts!”

his grip to her thighs tightened, “shhh, they can hear you.”

when gojo satoru suggested that they have lunch together, she happily accepted. she didn't suspected anything odd of his behavior. he was so kind to offer to bring her something over and she has been so stressed with her works, she just accepted it with no questions. it was the first text she’d replied after ignoring his many messages and calls.

it has been two weeks since the staircase incident and she started to suspect that he knew that she was actively trying to avoid him for almost a week. she knows gojo satoru like the back of her own hand, she knows he will not forget his promises, and he will hold against her until he gets it. their newly blossomed relationship was doing okay until he popped the question out so casually as she cooked. she couldn’t forget the look on his face.

“so, when are we going to have a baby?” his question that freaked her out lingered in her mind.

a baby

what was she thinking? she smacked her head on the table. “you could’ve asked for a house, or his black card, or something else. but a baby?” her voice strained.

“yes?” the hair on her back stood at the familiar deep voice.

she looked up so fast, her head spun to see her door opened wide. sara, her colleague stood with a slight frown on her face and on her side, gojo satoru. he wore teasing smile, traded his blindfold for his glasses and he looked different. he wore a white dress shirt, sleeves rolled up with a pair of black pants and boots. his outfit looked simple and minimalistic, but don’t be fooled. she knew his shirt costs about the same as her monthly rent.

i can’t believe i picked a baby over his black card, her mind cried at the thoughts.

“i’ve tried stopping him,” sara explained, a glare on her face. he interjected. “i don’t need appointment to see my girlfriend,” gojo stepped inside, holding the door. “girlfriend?” sara questioned. she couldn’t help but to feel satisfied at the reaction her assistant’s face held.

“she gave you, her number?” she asked, one night where he came over. the bed sheet wrapped around her bare body as her eyes raked up and down satoru’s own bare body as he leaned against the headboard. his eyes shut close with his arms flexed behind his head. a small satisfactory smile on his face as he said, “right after telling me that you like me.”

“that bitch,” she hissed, gritting her teeth.

“y/n chan,” his eyes opened, a teasing smirk grew on his face. he leaned forward, the blanket pooled around his waist as he cupped her face in his hand, “didn’t see you as a jealous kind.”

it wasn’t that fact that she was jealous that sara is actively into gojo. she was fuming at her assistant for divulging her personal matter to him. that part first, and then maybe she was a little jealous. but then, sara was the reason she finally gets the guy she’s been waiting for; so at the end she still wins. sara will remain a bitch for a reason.

“it’s okay, we are having lunch together. you can leave,” she dismissed her, rubbing her strained eyes. gojo happily slammed the door shut.

“so, wanna tell me why you’re avoiding me?”

she sighed, her fingers ghosting over the keyboard, his presence has disturbed her mind, “i’m not. i-i’m busy.”

he sat on her chair, crossing his legs as he rested his lanky body against the chair. “you can’t even look at me. what is it?” he asked. her finger stopped above the enter key. she wanted to press it, but she can’t. something is holding her back. she knew what he’s doing. she sighed in defeat and turned to face the elephant in the room. her brows frowned when she realised; “where’s the food?” she asked staring at the empty table.

“huh?”

“lunch? you told me we are having lunch?” she frowned. this idiot did not just suggest that they’ll have lunch together, show up at her office without the promised food. gojo looked at her sheepishly, a small smile on his face.

“oh, that. yeah, i just want an excuse to see you,” his small smile turned sinister as he lolled his head to the side, “you could be my lunch.”

her face pressed against the glass window overlooking the city. her floor wasn’t that high, they could see the streets bellow and the office in front of them. she repeatedly told him that they can’t do this. “they can see us,” she panicked, despite being delirious from his kisses as she let him unbutton her shirt. but a few kisses later, her skirt hiked up, panties in his pocket and his dick hitting her cervix roughly, she was convinced.

“you think you can come for me six times?” he heaved, lips against her bare shoulder, accentuating his words with his every thrust, “six for the amount of days you've ignored me. another five to go, buttercup. should be easy.”

his hand trailed down her chest, her belly until he found her neglected clit. a gentle tap of her bundle of nerves had her throwing her hair back. she was about to come undone; he could feel it from the way she was desperately clamping down on his length and her whining. tears streaming down her face as she bit down on her lips to hold herself from screaming, she could taste blood. her body shuddered, her sweaty skin leaving marks on the glass and the way he just mewled against her ears, praising her made her legs buckled.

he was quick to catch her, hands gripping her waist.

they moved to the desk, pushing all her files and pens aside as he laid her down. he showered her with kisses, slowly trailing them down to her cunt. he eyed her glistening slit, mouth watered. grabbing her legs, he held it open, she whined at the feeling of his warm breath ghosting over her. “satoru, i can’t,” she moaned at the first lick, her hand pressed on his head trying to get away, but he held her tight. “n-no more, ah fuck, fuck!” she could feel his eyes on her, watching her every reaction as his tongue worked their ways. the feeling on his teeth grazing her clit, the tip of her tongue teasing around her entrance, before slipping in.

she tasted so good; it was more pleasurable for him than her. she looked pretty squirming to get away as he held her tighter, tongue darting in and out. overstimulation was hitting her full force and she was high in pleasure. her brain couldn’t comprehend; between the feeling of his breath against her slit, his tongue fucking her, his calloused palms against her waist and the sound he was making. she didn’t give two fucks if the office heard them fucking.

“close, fuck, toru i want-” her words cut off by her own moan.

his tongue switched, sucking on her swollen clit as his finger took over the fucking. it didn’t take long for her to gush out. her head was pounding, his words went in one ear and out the another. he stood up, drools and her fluid covered his chin and onto his bare chest. he helped her sat, she was beyond exhausted. the feeling of his fingers brushing her hair back brought back to the office, she looked up to him with her eyes half drooped. a soft chuckle escaped his lips as he pressed it on hers. “you okay?” he whispered, planting kisses after kisses. “i miss you so much,” he cooed.

“miss you,” was all she could mustered out.

“did i scare you? with the baby talk?” he asked, pulling her in his arms. truth be told, seducing her into fucking in front of the glass window wasn’t the actual reason gojo was here. but her words were just so inviting, he doesn’t mind a little detour. she tasted delicious. she mumbled something against his chest, but he was sure it was a maybe.

“i thought you wanted it.”

she pouted, finally the first sentence her brain could scrambled, “maybe i change my mind.”

“that’s why you ran away from me? you’re scared?” he tilted her head up, his heart warmed at the little pout she had on, “oh buttercup, i won’t lie. the thoughts of you all round and milky with my child is turning me on-” not a lie, because she could feel his cock pressing against her slit, “but it’s okay. one day i’ll change your mind but for now, i’m fine with a little practise now.” she groaned against his lips as she felt his tip slipped in, stretching her once again.

this one was quicker, she was already sobbing mess, clutching desperately on his chest as he chased his high.

the deeper he pushed into her, the faster he had to circle her clit. he’s not a selfish lover, he wants her to feel as good as him too, despite being borderline torturous as she was clearly an overstimulated mess. “you’re so good to me,” he hummed, “you take me in so well. i love the way your tight cunt suck me in.” she really was, with mouth apart panting his name, eyelids drooped, and fingers dug into his flesh with legs apart.

she’s his good little girl.

she nodded, soft mewls could be heard through her pants. the wet kisses he was peppering her skin soon turned into a desperate attempt to leave a mark. she was beyond exhausted to berate him for doing it, so she learned to enjoy the feeling of his fangs against her flushed skin.

“toru, it feels so good,” she rolled her eyes back and he hummed in agreement.

gojo held her throat, not too harsh but not exactly gentle too, “it does, does it?” he grinned, “come, clench around my cock, y/n chan," he teased, in a sing-song tone, "i’m about to fill you up to the brim.” he tightened the grip, she whined. the way the walls tightening around him, had the world strongest’s sorcerer a moaning mess, as his hips snapped faster.

the sound of their skin slapping each other got louder and louder with the squelching of her cunt. his eyes rolled to the back of his head, as he forced his cock all the way inside, his thick seed shooting directly into her womb. his grip on her waist tightened, he was all choke up. they stayed in each other’s arm, struggling to catch a break.

he pinched her cheek for the fun of it, seeing her annoyed and bothered for his own personal pleasure. “what luck you have, y/n. falling in love with someone like me,” he brushed the tear stains on her cheek.

“who said i love you?”

he pressed his hand on his chest, faking the pained look on his face with an ouch. it was never an exchange of i love yous between them; it was him annoying the fuck out of her and her being constantly concern by his childishness. “would you still come home, y/n. i miss you so much, no lies.” he asked as he pulled his pants back up. "i will," she promised. he helped her off the desk, cleaning the mess they’d made and her chasing him around for her pair of panties. she never got it back, her face was as red as her stilettos as she made her way out of the office bare under her skirt. she could hear him snickering behind her.

“c-cancel the rest of my day please, sara. i have some business to take care off,” she glared at the white-haired man running toward the elevator. lunch time was over, and she was beyond fucked to continue her work. literally. not when gojo had made sure to give her the fucking of her life, she couldn’t focus on her work no more. sara gave her a glare, a dirty one, as she eyed her skewered hair and wrinkled clothes. she placed the files on her assistant’s desk, rushing as gojo held the elevator opened.

she made in, jumping instantly in his arms as the door closed. it was just two of them in the empty lift.

she giggled in his arms; his huge smile was contagious. he kissed her so gently, thumb on her back rubbing shapes. his smile grew wider as they pulled away. she tilted her head, confusion on her face and he nudged his head to the door. she turned around only to see their reflection on the elevator’s door. “look closer,” he whispered, and her eyes widened as she realised a trail of his cum, peaking out of her skirt down her legs. her face got even redder as she wasn’t sure if it had just happened or gojo has been letting her walk around with his cum down her legs.

“i’ll murder you, satoru.”

the lift suddenly halted. the number stopped at the ninth floor and she cursed. the lift wasn’t malfunction; she knew exactly what he was doing, and he wasn’t even trying to hide it.

“not going to lie, seeing my cum down your legs, it looks hot,” he said sheepishly, a kiss on her cheek while his hands already made their way underneath her blouse. his brows raised up suggestively.

“will you stop thinking with your dick, satoru?”

“you still owe me two more orgasm, buttercup.”

the light of the lift suddenly tripped, engulfing them in a pitch-black darkness. she jolted in his arms. the emergency light turned on and under the dimmed light, she could see his blue eyes on her like a predatory to its prey. she could feel her throat drying as a kiss landed on her neck.

“we better make our time worth.”

Author’s Note: Loving this story! Much love to @wondersofdreaming!

Lily laughed as she played tug-a-war with Aika in the living room, the sound of Sy putting up the last of the siding vibrated throughout the house, with her laughs and Aika's playful growling. The hammering stopped and Sy appeared through the front door, smiling at the two partners in crime.

“I need to go into town.” Sy told Lily, when her attention settled onto him. “The saw blade has dulled and I need to replace it.” He explained to her.

“All right.” She nodded, letting Aika take her rope. “I need to get lunch going.”

“I shouldn't be too long.” He promised, then left.

Sy wasn't gone a minute, when the phone rang in the kitchen and Lily moved to pick it up, before she missed it. “Hello?” She answered, pressing the receiver to her ear with her shoulder and turned towards the refrigerator. “Hello?” She frowned, pulling out food items for her and Sy's lunch.

“How's the business going?” A voice finally answered her.

Lily froze, hand resting on the loaf of bread she was reaching for. “How did you get this number?” She gulped, her heart racing and pounding in her ears.

“I bet once that caveman finishes fixing up the place, it'll look brand new.”

“Ho-” She gasped, a dizzying wave of nausea punched her in the gut, as reality set in.

“Soon, Lily. Soon.” The voice chuckled, then the line went dead.

The phone slipped off of Lily's shoulder and clattered to the floor, alerting Aika, who was chewing on her rope in the living room, and came running in, barking in inquiry and suspicion, standing close to Lily's feet and looked up at her, head cocked to the side. Lily gripped the edge of the counter in front of her, trying to take deep breaths in and out, but her vision swam with an overflow of tears and her chest felt like an elephant was standing on it. She turned and stumbled up the staircase in the kitchen that led upstairs, and went into the hall bathroom, locking herself inside, Aika bounding after her and barking at the bathroom door.

“How? How is this possible?” She trembled, pacing the small space. “I was so careful, so careful. It’s not possible. It’s just a sick joke, from some disgruntled customer. But, what if it isn’t? What if it’s really. Where did I go wrong? I put so many miles between us.”

Her hands shook and she struggled to breath, furious tears streaming down her flushed cheeks. Flashback after flashback rippling through her horrified and panicked mind, her stomach lurched and she dropped to her knees, wrenching violently into the bowl and losing her breakfast into it. She sat there for a long time, before making up her mind, standing up and opening the medicine cabinet, removing a prescription bottle from inside and popped the top off of it. She knew this was a drastic and dark turn to things as she dumped the bottle into her hand, but it wasn’t as dark and ominous, if the voice on the other end of the phone kept their word about finding her, and Lily wasn’t going to take that chance.

She gulped down dozens of the teeny pills, swallowing them down with sink water, then slowly sank down to the floor.

Sy returned twenty minutes later, with a new saw blade and rumbling stomach. He expected, as always, to find Lily had set his lunch down on the table in the breakfast nook, and was either eating hers as well, or she was patiently waiting for him, so they could eat together.

Instead, he entered the house and heard Aika barking incessantly upstairs, which was unusual.

“Lily!” He called out, rounding into the kitchen, finding lunch foods on the counter, some half opened, and the phone on the floor. “Lily!” He yelled out again, a pit forming in his stomach as he mounted the stairs to the second floor.

He had never been upstairs before, everything he needed in the house was downstairs, the kitchen and half bath, so he was unfamiliar with the layout. But, as he reached the second floor landing, he found Aika standing in front of a closed door, barking, whining and scratching at the wood. He crossed the hall and lifted his hand, knocking softly on the door, and listening inside.

“Lily?” He called, knocking again. “Lily, are you all right in there?” He asked, growing even more concerned, when he didn't receive an answer.

Not waiting a moment longer, Sy pushed Aika away from the door and forced it open with his shoulder. As the door flung open and banged against the wall behind it, Sy rushed into the room and felt his heart plummet out of his body, finding Lily laying on the worn and discolored tile floor. He dropped to his knees as he scrambled over to her, cupping her cold, but sweaty, face in his hands, her eyes were rolled back and half lidded, her breathing was shallow and the scent of vomit permeated in the small space. Sy, despite his heart rocketing in his chest, was reasonably calm, his combat cool kicking in, as he quickly pressed his fingers to the spot under the corner of her jaw, feeling how faint her heartbeat was.

“Shit.” He snapped, under his breath, scanning the room, he found a prescription bottle that had rolled under the lip of the vanity, swiped it up and pocketed it. “Lily.” He called, patting her pale cheeks, trying to get any response out of her. “Come on, Lily. Answer me.” He begged her, patting her cheeks a little harder. “What were you thinking.” He growled, then rubbed his knuckles against her sternum in firm circles.

“Oh, thank god.” He sighed, when she whimpered at the painful rub. “Lily, open your eyes and look at me. Come on, darling, look at me.” He coaxed her, rubbing her chest again, but not with his knuckles, just trying to keep her responsive.

“Sy.” She whimpered, eyes fluttering.

“Yeah, love.” He nodded, shifting to pick her up into his arms and carried her out of the bathroom and down the stairs. “Don't worry, honey, I've got you. I'll take care of you and get you to the hospital.” He told her, carrying her out to his truck and got her strapped into the passenger seat, before hopping in and gunning it down the driveway, relieved at his slight laziness, that he left the gate wide open.

“Come on, Lily. Talk to me.” He told her, reaching out to squeeze her shoulder as she whined and pressed her forehead against the window. “Tell me something, anything.”

“I wanna sleep.” She whimpered, brows creased.

“No, no, you can't do that.” Sy shook his head at her, pulling her away from the window. “What color do you want me to paint the house?” He asked, trying to think of anything to keep her engaged long enough to get her to the emergency room.

“What about purple, with hot pink polka dots?” He grinned, blue eyes light up, but still scared for her.

“I hate pink.” Lily whined, her head moving to rest on Sy's broad and stiff shoulder.

“So, pink polka dots.” He said in a voice that said he agreed with the choice.

“No.” She groaned, shaking her head with a whimper, then fell quiet again.

“No, no! Come on, Lily, don't fall asleep.” He begged her, feeling her body relax against him.

The tires of Sy's truck squealed as he parked outside the hospital, pulling Lily out, he quickly carried her into the emergency room, his usual 'cool under pressure' attitude was starting to slip with the desperate situation. The nurse at the station instantly noticed Sy carrying Lily in and read how bad the situation was, jumping out of her seat and barking orders, while guiding Sy to a place he could lay her down and they could start working on her.

“What happened?” She asked Sy.

“I'm pretty sure she overdosed on these.” Sy replied, taking the prescription bottle out of his pocket and handed it to her. “I don't know why she decided to do it, I just found her unresponsive on the bathroom floor. She was responsive for a few minutes, but then stopped just before we got here.”

“How do you know her?” The nurse asked, reading the name off the bottle.

Sy bit his lip, he knew if he admitted that he only worked for Lily as a handyman, then they wouldn't let him see her until after they had done everything they could for her. So, he fibbed. “She's my fiancée.” He told her, his voice steady and his face gave away nothing, but his concern for her.

“So, her name is Lily Ana Moore?” The nurse asked, reading the name off the prescription label.

“Yes, ma'am.” Sy nodded, though he wasn't aware of her middle name.

“And, you are?” She asked, looking up at him.

“Austin Syverson.” He replied, glancing over to Lily's bed as she whimpered.

“We'll take the best care for her, Mr. Syverson.” the Nurse promised him, resting a gentle hand on his forearm and gave it a tender squeeze.

They tended to Lily, while Sy stepped out into the waiting room, he was too high strung and agitated to sit down, so he paced from the humming vending machine and the automatic doors. His mind roiled over reasons and scenarios as to why Lily would try to overdose. She had been fine, before he left to the hardware store for a new saw blade, playing tug-a-war with Aika and about to make them lunch. What could have happened in the, maybe, fifteen minutes he was away, that was so frightening that she would rather take her life, than to either face it or tell him about it. If she had said something to him, told him that she was afraid of something, or someone, then he would have promised to protect her.

In a heartbeat.

“I’ll protect her from now on.” He muttered to himself, still pacing the room.

Once they were satisfied with how stable she was, then sent her up to a private room for an overnight observation, Sy stayed with her the whole time, never leaving her side, even once she was stable and in her room. He sat in a chair beside her bed, chin resting on his chest as he snored softly, the room was dark and quiet, minus the heart monitor she was hooked up too. It was late, when Lily did finally come back around on her own, sighing and whimpering, her body feeling spent and sluggish. She opened her eyes and instantly recognized she wasn't in her own bed, but a strange room, and panic started to set it, causing her to wake Sy.

“Hey.” He sighed, rubbing his tired face and leaning forward to take her hand in his. “You're all right, Lily.” He told her, his voice rough from sleep.

“Where am I?” She asked, squeezing his hand, like it was a lifeline, calm now that she realized Sy was there, watching over her.

“The hospital.” He replied, thumb rubbing the top of her hand. “I barely managed to get you here, after that stunt you pulled.”

She let out a heavy breath and rested back against her pillow, squeezing her eyes shut. “I'm sorry, Sy.” She whispered, not opening her eyes again. “I didn't mean to scare you.”

“And what did you mean to do?” He asked, lifting a brow at her. “Why would you try killing yourself?”

“It's complicated.” She replied, sighing again and opening her eyes.

“Then, uncomplicate it.” Sy begged her, wanting to understand what she was thinking.

“I can't.” Lily shook her head, the fear that had gripped her before her attempt started to return.

Sy could feel the tremble in her hand as it gripped his, he knew there was something she was afraid of, that she was trying to run and hide from, and wanted to help her so much, to protect her, so badly. He got up out of his chair and sat on her bedside, holding her hand in his lap and gently brushed his fingers against her cheek.

“You don't have to be afraid.” He whispered, gently. “I promise, I will protect you.”

“Don't make a promise, you can't keep, Austin.” Lily replied, meeting his eye.

“I can, and I will.” Sy replied, his stomach twitched, hearing her use his first name. “Is there anything I can do for you?” He asked, lifting a brow at her.

Lily paused a moment, regarding him, then bit her lip. “Lay with me?” She whispered, gulping at the strangeness of her own request.

Sy blinked at her for a moment, it was a bit of an odd request, but, if that's what she wanted of him, then Sy would gladly do it. He nodded, feeling slightly awkward, then toed out of his boots, while she shifted and turned onto her side, so Sy had room to lay down with her. He let her shift, her back pressing against his chest, and tucked his arm under her head, gently pulling the blankets over them and resting his other arm over her side.

“This must be awkward for you.” She mumbled, a few minutes later.

“Actually, it's not.” He chuckled back, his breath lightly caressing the back of her hair. “The most awkward thing that I've ever done, happened on my very first deployment to Iraq.”

Lily turned her head to look back over at him. “Tell me about it?”

Sy smiled at her, biting his lip. “So, it was my first deployment, back in 2004, I had been in the country a week, but hadn't left base yet in that time.” He started to explain to her. “So, my first outing off the base was a decent distance, and at some point, I ended up needing to go to the restroom.”

She laughed, starting to get the picture, making Sy smile.

“Now, I wasn't naive. I knew there wasn't a bathroom for several klicks, and I doubted any of the locals were going to let my ass in to use their bathroom.” He laughed, making them both shake from its mirth. “So, I asked my commander, cause then, I was just some lowly runt, where I could go. He walked away for a moment and came back, carrying a short handled shovel, handed it to me and said, 'pick a spot.' motioning to the wide open field we were in.”

“Oh lord, no.” She grinned, blushing at the thought of digging a random hole and going in it. “Tell me you didn't!”

“Of course, I did!” He grinned back. “I really had to go, and I wasn't holding it for another hour on patrol and three hours back. So, I dug a hole, dropped my cameos and did my business, with six guys, more or less, watching me.”

“Watching you?”

“Well, they had to make sure no one snuck up on me, and tried to kill me.” He chuckled, fully amused.

“You're braver than I am.” Lily said, after they stopped laughing. “I would have held it.” She giggled, shaking her head at the thought, relaxing in his arms.

“I think that makes you much braver.” Sy whispered, feeling the change in her breathing against the skin of his bicep as she drifted back off to sleep. “So much braver.”

“Sy, you can't sleep on the couch like this.” Lily sighed, finding him on the couch in the living room.

Ever since she returned home from the hospital, Sy insisted on sleeping on the couch, not wanting to leave her alone in the house. She had tried convincing him that she was all right, that he didn't need to sleep there and keep an eye on her.

“You should go home to Austin, sleep in your own bed.” She told him, handing him a cup of fresh coffee.

“I haven't slept in my own bed, in nearly a month.” Sy replied, taking several deep gulps of the hot brew.

“What?” Lily snapped, sitting down beside him, with a cup of tea. “Still!”

“I told you, I've been sleeping at the motel in Celina.” He confessed to her. “I've been too tired most nights to safely drive back to Austin, and it's only a couple minutes from here, instead of three hours.” He told her, rubbing a hand over his face.

“And I told you, you didn't need too, Sy?” Lily sighed, annoyed with him.

“Because, you would have wanted to pay for it.” He countered.

“No, I would have given you the guest room upstairs, like I said.” She countered back, lifting a brow at him. “And, if you insist on staying here, then I suggest you take the room, instead of the couch, so at least then, you can stretch out and not wake up all stiff and uncomfortable.” She told him, firmly.

“Especially, since Aika seems to enjoy sleeping with you.”

Lily had come downstairs at night, several times, to find Sy's long body stretched out on the couch, his head resting on one armrest, while his feet hung over the other one, and Aika's large body laid on top of him, like some sort of furry blanket.

“I've already made it up for you.” She added, getting back up and going into the kitchen.

Sy got up and followed her, setting his coffee down on the breakfast nook table. “Lily-”

“We both know, you're not going to leave me alone in the house, Austin.” Lily huffed, yanking open the refrigerator door. “So, there's no use for your additional discomfort, by sleeping on a couch that has zero support or comfort, especially after you've spent all day breaking your back to fix up my property.” She explained to him, pulling out a carton of eggs and milk, before letting the door of the original Big Chill refrigerator slam shut behind her.

“There's a comfortable bed in the guestroom, that's situated against the window, with a small walk-in closet and dresser, as well as being across from the hallway bathroom. As I said, I made the bed up for you, clean sheets and pillowcases. I opened the window as well, to air it out, since it's usually closed up and unused.” She explained to him, pulling out a pan and setting it on the stove, clicking on the gas burner.

“I do need to warn you, that the hot water tap in the upstairs bathroom, doesn't work.”

“Is there something wrong with the hot water heater?” Sy asked, lifting a brow at her.

“Not that I'm aware of, but I also don’t know crap about them, so I wouldn't know where to look or how to fix it, without replacing the thing completely. But, I don't think there is a problem with it.”

“Why's that?”

“Because, the hot water in all the sinks work, and the hot water in my master bathroom works as well.” She explained to him, whipping up a pancake batter, while the pan heated up. “I just don't understand why the hot water in that particular bathroom doesn't work.”

“Has it worked at any point, while you lived here?” Sy asked, watching her.

Lily paused and sighed, her brow creasing as she stared off in the middle distance for a moment, trying to recall. “I don't think so.” She finally replied, going back to the batter.

“Hm.” Sy frowned, his own brow deeply creased as he mauled over the numerous reasons the hot water wouldn't work. “I'll check it after breakfast.” He answered, pressing his lips together. “Do you need any help?” He asked, watching her fuss over the rest of breakfast.

“Yeah, can you flip the pancakes for me.” She nodded, side stepping the stove, so he could flip them.

Sy nodded, taking up the rubber spatula she was using and gripped the handle of the pan, carefully working the edge of the spatula around the sides of the bubbling pancake, before slipping it under and flipped it, quite unsuccessfully, splattering half cooked batter all over the pan. Lily saw it from the corner of her eye and laughed, shaking her head at him.

“Have you never flipped a pancake before, Captain?” She teased, turning to face him.

“I have, I'm just shit at it.” He replied, grinning at her, but Lily could see the warmth seeping into his hairy cheeks.

“Here.”

Lily stepped between Sy and the stove, gripping his hand, that still held the utensil, and guided him to the other pancake in the pan, gently slipping the edge of the spatula under it, and with a quick flick of their wrists, she helped him flip over the pancake, perfectly.

“See?” She smiled up at him, her blue eyes filled with pride. “You just have to do it quick and steady, like ripping off a plaster.” She picked up the batter and poured some of it into the sizzling pan. “Give it a minute, then try flipping it again.”

With that, she turned back to what she was doing, dicing up some potatoes. “Look at you!” She exclaimed, watching Sy's smooth pancake flip.

“You're a good teacher.” He smiled at her, setting the finished pancakes on a plate beside the stove.

“Would you like bacon or sausage?” She asked, opening the refrigerator again, turning her head to look at him, a brow lifted in curiosity.

Sy licked his lips and got a funny feeling in his stomach, something he had never felt before, not even as a young boy. He felt like he—belonged, here and now, with Lily. It was a natural feeling of domestic belonging, like there was a oneness between them and he had found his rightful place in the world.

“Sy?” Lily frowned at him, concerned.

She saw that far off look in his eye and worried he was having a flashback. She had seen him have them before, and after the first one, where he nearly took her head off, Lily learned not to touch Sy, calling his name, usually, did the trick of bringing him back around. But, this time was different, there was a sparkle in his cerulean eyes, and a soft smile on his lips.

“Austin?” She said, carefully, licking her lips and feeling butterflies in her stomach.

Sy blinked several times and focused on her, smiling completely, warm and happy. “Sausage, please.” He finally replied, cocking his head at her.

“Okay.” Lily nodded back, eyes wide like a doe's. “Why don't you sit down and relax, I can finish up.” She suggested, motioning to the table. “Your coffee is getting cold.”

“Sure.”

He kept smiling at her, even as he sat down at the table and sipped his cooling coffee; watching her drop the finely diced potatoes into the pan, stirring them around as they cooked and browned, before cracking three eggs on the edge of the pan and dumped the contents in with the potatoes, then tossed the shells into the empty bowl the pancake batter was in. She kept stirring the browned potatoes and fluffy eggs together, then added sliced up sausage. Finishing it up, she brought the food to the table and Sy served himself, heaping the potato, egg and sausage scramble onto his plate with four large pancakes, drizzling maple syrup everywhere. Lily picked Sy's now empty coffee cup up and filled it with fresh coffee, putting in two sugars and set it back down in front of his plate.

“You know how I take my coffee.” He asked, digging his fork into his mountain of food.

“I've known you for several months at this point, so, it's only natural that I've noticed things about you.” She chuckled, sitting down and making her own plate for breakfast.

“Fair enough.” He laughed, and got down to eating.

After breakfast, and helping Lily wash and dry the dishes, Sy went upstairs to the hallway bathroom to try and figure out why the hot water wasn't coming out of the tap. He tested it, spinning the hot tap all the way over, water jetting out of the shower head. He left it running for several long minutes, touching it periodically, and only found it to be even colder than when it first came out. Pressing his lips together and sighing through his nose, Sy turned the tap off and went downstairs to his truck, taking out the tool box from the back and carried it back inside, removing the faucet cover and checked the valve. He removed the tap handle, unscrewed the plate and reached inside for the valve, finding it was broken.

“There you are, you pesky little shit.” He said, setting it on the sink counter. “I need a new one.” He sighed. “Lily.” He called out, going down the hall to her office.

“Sy?” She called back, her eyes still on the work on her computer screen.

“I found the problem with the shower in the hall bath.” He told her, standing in the office doorway. “I'm going to go down to the hardware store to get a replacement part for it.” He explained, looking her over as she sat cross legged in her office chair.

“Will you be okay, while I'm gone?” He asked, his tone careful.

Lily's shoulders slumped and she looked over at him. “I'll be fine, Austin.” She told him, slightly annoyed with him being so overprotective, though she appreciated it and felt incredibly safe with him around. “Go, and if you remember, can you bring me back some Reese cups?” She asked, as he turned to leave.

“I've got a mad chocolate craving going on.”

“A hot shower and chocolate coming up.” He grinned at her, and left for the store. “Keep an eye on her, Aika.” He whispered to the pup as she laid spread out on the front porch, enjoying the warm rays of the sun; patting her on the head.

Aika huffed at him, before getting up and strolling inside, climbing the stairs and wandering into Lily's office, then laid down at her feet, dropping back off to sleep. Lily smiled down at her, bending in her chair to pat her between her proudly standing ears, then returned to her work. Sy returned an hour later, with four packages of king sized Reese Cups and the replacement hot water valve.

“Christ.” Lily laughed, when he set the candy down in front of her. “Did you buy the store out?” She teased, looking up at him.

“Actually,” Sy grinned brazenly at her. “I did. It was all they had in the little corner store, next to the hardware store.” He confessed, he thought it would be funny to buy them all, and one can never have enough chocolate.

“Thank you.” She giggled, opening one of them up, amused by his sense of humor and popped one into her mouth..

“You're welcome.” Sy nodded his head to her, butterflies filling his stomach hearing her laugh, making her laugh, and gulped as he watched her take the candy whole into her mouth, feeling something stir much lower than his stomach, before turning and going back to fix the shower.

“Is it working?” Lily asked, a little while later, coming into the bathroom to watch him work.

“See for yourself.” Sy replied, turning the tap on and stepping aside.

Lily stepped forward and held her hand out under the streaming water, feeling the pleasant warmth of it. She looked over her shoulder at Sy and smiled at him, proud and amazed. “That's amazing! Is there anything you can't fix?” She asked, drying her hand on the towel hanging on the rack.

“Oh, I'm sure there is.” Sy smiled, leaning back against the vanity. “But, if I encounter it, I'm sure I could figure it out.”

“I'm sure you would.” Lily smiled, patting him on the chest as she went out of the bathroom.

Sy beamed with pride, seeing how happy and proud of him she was, her gentle pat only re-enforcing that fact.

Later that night, Sy took the duffle bag he had filled with his clothing and other things he needed, upstairs to Lily's offered guestroom. It was a sweet little room, the window let in a lot of light during the day and he could see Billie Marlowe's crops and the beautiful night sky as he laid in bed. The dresser was big enough for all his things. He toed out of his boots and sat down on the edge of the bed, then laid back. It was a comfortable bed, more comfortable than the couch and the bed in the motel room he had been renting.

Satisfied, Sy stood, pulled out a pair of shorts and a black tank top, with a bar of soap, and crossed the hall to the bathroom.

He stood under the hot spray of the shower head, letting it seep into his tired and sore body for a while, before soaping up his body, head to toe, rinsed and dressed, before stepping out of the steamy bathroom. He paused in the hall and turned his head, Lily's room was at the end of the hall, the staircase leading into the kitchen between them, and her door was closed. But, he could hear the soft creaks of her moving about her room, no doubt doing the similar ritual he was, before going off to sleep.

Sighing, he went into his room, leaving the door cracked open for Aika to come in and out, and crawled into bed, the washed sheets and quilt smelled just like Lily, and he couldn't suppress the moan that escaped from deep in his throat, pressing the quilt to his nose and inhaling deeply. She smelled amazing, he wondered what her skin smelled like, before drifting off.

Lily wasn't sure what time it was, when she first heard it. At first, she thought it was just part of the dream she was having, but as it came more regularly, she realized it wasn't in her dream, but in the house. Her eyes opened, blinking in the darkness of her room as she laid still in bed, listening intently.

Yes, it was real and in the house, but what was it?

Shaking her head, she threw her blankets back and got out of bed, tiptoeing to her closed door and pressed her ear to the wood. It was a loud whimper, followed by a whine, with other noises mixed in. Daring to open her door, she stepped out into the hall and slowly followed the noise, down to Sy's room. She pushed open his half open door and peeked inside, Aika was sitting on the side of the bed, whining as she looked up at Sy, who was laying on his back, sweaty brow deeply creased and shaking his head, like he was trying to wake himself up, to no avail.

“Move.” He called out, body jerking. “Tristan.” He yelled out, then whined.

“Sy.” She called out to him, standing in the doorway. “Sy, wake up.”

But, he didn't.

Biting her lip, and stepping into the fray, Lily moved to the side of the bed, her stomach clenched as she sat down beside him, waiting for him to suddenly lunge at her, but he didn't. Her heart was pounding as she reached out and gently wiped away the heavy sweat on his brow, he made a sound, between a sigh and a growl as she did, his hands coming up, but fell back to the bed, before reaching her. She frowned at him, stroking the side of his face, his hair was slightly longer than it had been, when he first came. He usually kept it very short, but with her going into the hospital, he had neglected cutting it.

She touched the side of his head, feeling the soft hair just above his ear, then petting down his neck and cupping his cheek.

“It's all right.” She cooed at him in a soft and silky voice. “Ssshh, it's all right.” She spoke to him softly, caressing his bearded cheek with her thumb and rubbed his chest through the thin black material of his tank top.

Sy's wide and alarmed eyes shot open and he snapped upright, gasping for air and shaking, but he didn't lash out at her, like he had on the porch that day. She bit her lip, watching this bear of a man tremble, struggling to control his breathing and so frightened. Lily laid her hand on his tense shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze; Sy's head snapped to the side, looking at her, but not quite seeing her, but the face of the teammate he had been calling out for, one of the first men Sy had ever lost in combat.

“Lily.” He whispered, in a disembodied voice. “What are you doing here?” He asked, suddenly sounding alarmed and panicked, his sweaty body rigid. “It’s not safe, you have to leave, before more of them show up.” He told her, his voice still sounding discorporated.

“Who, Austin?” Lily frowned, shaking her head at him, not understanding what he was talking about. “Who’s coming?”

Sy’s vision hyper-focused on the small gap between them, twitching quickly side to side, like he was trying to reconnect unplugged wires in his jumbled up and confused mind, struggling to remember if he was in reality with Lily or in the nightmare of a long ago mission in Iraq that had gone bad for everyone involved, changing Sy forever, the first hung thread in a thick web of PTSD and flashbacks. But, the gentle touch of Lily’s hands on him, the soft whisper of his name in her voice, the close warmth of her body and her sweet smell gave Sy the traction he needed to pull himself back to reality and consciousness.

“I’m sorry.” He whispered, biting his lip, self-conscious. “I didn’t mean to wake you.”

“It’s all right.” She replied, then wrapped her arms around him, hugging him against her and rubbing his back. “It's okay, Austin.” She whispered into his ear as he buried his face into her neck. “You're okay. Safe and sound, back home, and with me.” She told him, closing her eyes as his arms wrapped around her waist and he clutched her against his sweaty and shaking body.

“I've got you, Austin.” She assured him and rested her cheek against his temple, tenderly rubbing the back of his head. “I won't let anything happen.”

Sy nuzzled his face into her neck, taking deep breaths to calm himself down and took in the comforting scent of her skin as he did, it helped him relax, as did the soft words she whispered into his ear and the soothing touch of her hand on his head or on his back. He didn't want to let her go, afraid that as soon as he did, she would fade away and the nightmares would come back, having only tricked him into thinking it was her.

Even though her heart thundered in her chest, she made a choice. “Come on, Austin.” She said into his ear, patting him on the back and wiggling in his arms, trying to entice him to let her go, so she could stand up.

“Where?” He whimpered into her neck.

She licked her lips. “Come to bed with me.” She told him, her lips brushing the rim of his earlobe. “Let me hold you and keep the nightmares away.”

Sy moaned softly into her ear, but his arms secured themselves around her waist, shifting her into his lap and stood, picking her up, still very unwilling to let her go, even for the minute it would take to go down to her room. So, he carried her down the hall and laid down in her bed, only then, letting her go long enough for her to cover them up and lay down beside him. Sy turned onto his side, wrapping his arms around her and hugged her against his body, his head laying on her chest.

Lily frowned, sympathetically, down at Sy, caressing his head, neck and shoulders, whispering soft things to him, soothing and lulling him back to sleep, with the pound of her heart in his ear and the pillow-y warmth of her skin and breasts under his head.

“My sweet bear.” She cooed at his sleeping form, then kissed the top of his head.

Going Angst Week 2021: Family/Friends

Read: [1: Birth] [2: Instinct]

Continuation of the No One Knows AU plotline.

---

Everything had changed since the accident. The biological differences were obvious. He glowed, his hair inverted, his eyes turned green, he had ectoplasm running through his veins, he was cold, he didn’t need to breathe as much in human form—the list went on.

But the psychological ones were easily more terrifying.

And nothing scared him more than the way his friends and family were treating him as of late.

He knew that deep down he would never be able to match the way he acted when he was fully human. But that didn’t mean that his heart didn’t skip a beat every time someone shot him a worried glance, every time someone asked if he was alright, every time he caught himself doing something wrong.

He wasn’t human anymore. He wasn’t even sure what he was now, and Vlad seemed to have too much fun emotionally torturing him to give him a straight answer.

“You up for a movie tonight?” Tucker asked, leaning across Danny’s desk.

“Hell yeah,” Sam said. “My house?”

“Oh, you know me too well. What do you think, dude?”

Danny realized that both teens were looking to him for an answer.

He wanted to stay home. Hanging out with either of them meant there was a chance they would see him slip up, and he couldn’t have that.

“Sure.” He hoped his voice didn’t sound too pained.

“Perfect!” Tucker clasped a hand down on his shoulder.

Danny tried not to duck away.

“So we’ll go to Sam’s after dinner. I can bring snacks. Anything you want in particular?”

The thought of eating anything was nauseating. “No. I’m fine.”

“Alright, I’ll just bring the usual then.”

But Danny should have known that something was up. After all, it had been a while since they’d done a movie night. And lately, Sam and Tucker had been acting...oddly.

Well, that was nothing new. Danny thought that as time went on, they’d forgive him for being a bit jumpier than usual and everything would go back to normal.

Except, of course, it didn’t.

The past few weeks had been especially hard. It seemed like they constantly had something to say, but never did. The worried glances had only increased, and the silent conversations seemed to only grow.

Danny had been trying his best to act normal, act human, but it seemed like the more he tried, the worse they’d get.

So of course, in between the first movie and second, the elephant in the room finally stomped all over Danny’s metaphorical floor.

“Hey, Danny.” Sam glanced over at Tucker. A moment passed between the two before Sam nodded and turned back to Danny. “We really need to talk to you.”

Dread pooled in his stomach. He knew exactly where this was going. “I can start the next movie if you want?”

“No, Danny. Listen, can you just sit down for a second?”

His ghostly instincts were begging him to run, but his human side forced him to sit down.

“Listen, we know that...well, Jazz told us about the lab accident.”

Danny could have sworn his heart stopped beating.

“She said it was pretty serious? And she was surprised that you hadn’t told us?” Sam fidgeted with her black rings. “We didn’t say anything to you because we wanted you to be the ones to confide in us.”

“That and we didn’t want you to get upset that we were talking to Jazz about you,” Tucker interjected.

“Right, and Jazz only told us because she was worried. And honestly? We’re really worried too.”

Any oxygen left in Danny’s body was sucked out of his throat like a vacuum.

They’d found out. They knew the truth, they knew he was a freak of nature half ghost and they were going to out him, they were going to tell his parents, they’d tell the school counselor, and Danny would have no one and he’d have to run away to become Vlad’s apprentice and he’d change, he’d be corrupted, he wouldn’t make it out alive.

“I’m just wondering why you didn’t say anything?” Sam asked, her violent eyes brimming with concern.

“I…” Danny’s mouth felt like it was lined with cotton. He tried to swallow, but it was like swallowing sand. “I didn’t want you to worry is all.”

“Yeah, and we get that,” Tucker said carefully. “But, I mean, we’re your best friends. And dude, you’ve been...well…”

At Tucker’s helpless glance, Sam took over. “You just have been acting really off lately.”

“Sorry.”

“No!” Sam nearly leapt out of her seat. “Danny, don’t apologize. It’s not your fault. I mean, hell, if I nearly died in a lab accident I’d be acting off too. It just, you know, it explains a lot. It must have been really terrifying.”

Danny didn’t trust himself to say anything.

How much of his personality had shifted because of Phantom, and how much had shifted because of the accident? Were his ghostly instincts really creeping up that much into his human form?

Would he ever be the same again?

Did they know?

“Is there anything you wanna talk about?”

“We’re all ears, dude.”

He had so many questions he wanted to ask, but he couldn’t say a word. Not without outing himself as Phantom, and that was bound to backfire on him in the worst way possible.

Oh god, he was acting too suspicious. He needed to save this.

“I’m good.”

There was a beat of silence.

Sam leaned forward. “Danny...I don’t mean to sound like Jazz, but bottling stuff up isn’t—”

“I’m fine!” Danny snapped. “I didn’t say anything and I’m sorry, but you know it’s not every day like you’re nearly electrocuted to death in your parents’ ghost portal.”

“Is that what happened?” Sam’s eyes grew wide. “Oh my god, Danny.”

“Holy shit,” Tucker agreed.

Danny threw his arms out. “Ta da! I survived, I’m fine. Nothing to talk about.”

“Danny, I—”

“No.” His tone was final. “Drop it, seriously.”

Another beat of silence passed, and then Sam finally sighed. “Fine, but I’m telling you as your friend that if you ever need anything, we’re here for you.”

He wished he could have trusted those words. But he knew they were nothing more than a farce.

It would have been cruel to hold onto false hope.

Still, he tried to smile. “Thanks.”

Even though he knew he hadn’t fooled anyone.

---

Maddie’s POV

Maddie watched her son from across the kitchen table, just as she’d done every night for the past several weeks. Quietly, as inconspicuous as possible, always watching.

Ever since the lab accident, he’d been….different. Jack hadn’t noticed, but to Maddie the changes were far too obvious. The dropped spoons, the flash of green behind his eyes, his limbs losing visibility without him even noticing, their ecto-inventions that always seemed to go off around him.

One day, she even saw him walk through his bedroom door.

At first, she thought it was just a simple case of possession. But there were telltale signs of possession, one’s that Jack, for all his enthusiasm, always failed to take into account.

Sure, Danny’s eyes flashed green every so often, but most of the time they were blue. Human blue.

And then there was his personality. In cases of possession, the ghost would be completely controlling the body. But in Danny’s case, he was still very obviously Danny. Still the sweet boy she always knew him to be, but he was just...different. Jumpier. Scared.

Like he knew he was living a lie.

And then, just a few weeks after Danny’s run in with the portal, a new ghost appeared.

Of course, Maddie didn’t make the connection at first. The ghost was obviously new, and didn’t seem to have a grasp on its powers. Its fighting was laughable, its ectoblasts nearly always missed, and it seemed to constantly forget about its core powers.

Not to mention, its hair was white. Danny had black hair.

But then the ghost gave itself a name: Danny Phantom. And that was when Maddie decided to take a second look at it.

It was Danny’s height and build, its voice sounded similar to Danny’s, it seemed to know all of Danny’s classmates, it used a Fenton thermos, it wore a hazmat suit that looked eerily similar to the ones in their basement closet—not to mention that Danny’s hazmat suit had gone missing recently.

On its own, one small correlation didn’t mean anything. But when the little similarities kept piling up, then Maddie had to draw some sort of conclusion.

Just what was the conclusion though?

The Danny across the table had gone to school like any other human child, he’d eaten his meals like anyone else, he’d hung out with his human friends, he talked with his human family. On paper, he seemed normal.

Human.

But his grades were in a downwards spiral, Jazz had expressed concern about him and his friends, he’d been breaking curfew, and there were times when she’d peak into his room at night to find him gone.

He could have been just experiencing trauma from the accident. Maybe he was rebelling. There were so many explanations for his behavior that didn’t involve ghosts.

But then he’d do something ghostly or a weapon would beep around him or Phantom would fly nearby, and her red flags would be raised once again.

Maddie learned long ago to trust her red flags.

The Danny across the table took a bite of his salad, and his face immediately scrunched up.

Maddie felt sick.

He swallowed, and Maddie could see his eyes watering. “Is there something wrong with the lettuce, Mom?”

She feigned innocence. “Hmm?”

“I don’t know,” he prodded a carrot on his plate. “Something just seems off.”

“Tastes fine to me,” Maddie said. “I just bought this lettuce today. Jazz, is yours okay?”

“Yeah,” she said.

Maddie suppressed a grin. She could always count on her “facts and research only” daughter.

“It could be the dressing? I used a new brand tonight. It’s healthier than the other stuff.”

That, or it was the small amount of blood blossoms she’d blended into the vinaigrette.

“Maybe.”

But it couldn’t end here. She needed to know. She was a scientist, she had to see the experiment through.

“Eat the rest of your salad, honey. I’ll buy the other brand tomorrow, okay?”

Danny carefully put another forkful of salad into his mouth. He gave a small wince, but swallowed.

“Good boy,” she said. “I have fudge in the fridge for when you’re done.”

“Oh, fudge?” Jack exclaimed. He shoveled the rest of his salad into his mouth. With a mouth full of food, he said, “Thanks, Mads! You’re the best!”

“You’re welcome sweetie!”

Jazz made a face. “Gross, Dad.”

Jack laughed and bantered back at his daughter, but Maddie had already tuned out of the conversation. Her only focus was on Danny, whose face was now just too flushed to be healthy. Still, he forced himself to eat.

There was just no question. No doubt about it.

No matter how Maddie looked at it, this was proof enough.

Danny Fenton wasn’t human. The portal hadn’t nearly killed him, it probably did kill him. And now here he was, pretending to still be a part of the family while using Phantom to distract them from the fact that he was a ghost.

It was a truly elaborate ploy. And if Maddie was anyone else, his plans probably would have worked.

But she was Maddie Fenton. She had a PhD in ectobiology. She’d been researching ghosts for twenty years.

Dinner ended, and the children went upstairs to do homework. Although, if Maddie looked, she was sure Danny wouldn’t actually be in his room. And if she went outside, like she’d done in nights past, there was no doubt she’d see Phantom soaring through the skies.

But she knew. She knew. She knew.

She slipped a white business card out of her jacket pocket, grabbed her cell off the counter, went into her bedroom, and dialed the number.

It rang once, then twice, then stopped. A deep voice sounded from the other line. “Maddie Fenton? I figured I’d be hearing back from you. Have you made your decision?”

“Yes.” Her voice was mechanical, as if she’d only called about a malfunctioning weapon. “I have. I agree to the partnership.”

“Excellent. And the terms are to your liking?”

“Yes.”

“Understood. We’ll be in touch tomorrow to sign the official contract. Will your husband be involved in this, or are you working alone?”

Maddie closed her eyes. “The contract will be for my name only.”

“All right, then. We’ll talk tomorrow. You won’t regret this.”

“I know.”

Series Masterlist ~ SPN Masterlist

Buy me a coffee

Y/N’s sitting at her desk as she types an answer to the inquiry from a customer, when her friend Donna practically slams a glamour magazine over her keyboard.

“Have you seen this?” The blond woman asks.

“Jesus, Donna! I haven’t saved that document yet! God!” She picks the magazine up and tosses it to the side as she continues to finish the document on her screen.

Donna’s still waiting, staring at her and she wonders if that woman has nothing else to do. Y/N’s sure Donna has plenty to do, they always have a lot of work and that’s why she gets home so late and sometimes, Liv would already be asleep. Sometimes, when she’s lucky, Liv was awake and she’d read her a bedtime story of princesses who are rescued by a heroic prince.

As soon as Y/N is finished, she turns around in her chair, to see her friend still staring at her instead of doing her own work.

“What is it?” She asked with that added annoyed nuance to her tone of voice.

“Look!” Donna lifts her chin to point towards the magazine she slammed in front of Y/N just a moment before, “Have you seen it?”

Turning back around to her desk, she picks it up, “Donna, I’m not reading those mags, so no, I haven’t seen it. Why?”

Instead of answering her, Donna only grins. The grin that shows her dimples. The wicked one, “Page twenty-six,”

With raised eyebrows and that little spark of curiosity which Donna had added to her interest, Y/N rifles through the pages until she reaches page twenty-six.

There’s a picture of a man who stares right at her. He’s wearing a perfect suit. His one hand fakes the adjusting of his cufflink on his wrist. It’s a total male model pose. Well, he looks like one, so she can’t really say that anything’s out of the ordinary.

At a second glance, though, she realizes that he looks familiar. His face is a little scruffy, but that makes him look edgier, makes him look more handsome. He’s smiling bright, showing his perfect white teeth. There are crinkles around his emerald eyes, seven on his right side, and she knows she shouldn’t even be counting them, so she ignores his left side. And she definitely can’t help but notice the freckles across his face.

Oh, she thinks.

Oooohhhh.

“Is that..?” She asks with a frown that gets deeper between her eyebrows because she’s just not sure? She hasn’t seen the man that many times in real life.

“Ya! Our fucking boss! The icy King!” Donna shouts, “Isn’t he dreamy? My god, I wanna eat him up! And he doesn’t look as icy and distant like he always does,”

“Donna!”

“What? Only telling the truth here! Read what the headline says!”

Her friend is right, though, Mr. Winchester’s normal aloof and cold persona isn’t captured in the picture. He’s known to be the icy King in the company. Instead, he looks kind of welcoming and warm. Y/N eyes go to the top of the page, and she can’t lie, it’s hard to concentrate on the writing when there’s a good looking man staring her down.

The headline is in all caps.

DEAN WINCHESTER, HOTTEST ENTREPRENEUR 2020

She frowns, as her eyes leave the magazine to look back at her friend, “That’s what you wanted to show me?”

“Duh! There’s also a whole article about him being the center of attention everywhere he goes,”

“Well, that’s not really surprising, is it? Looking like that?”

“It also says that he has a fiancée.”

“That’s also not surprising,” Y/N shrugs, “I mean, seriously, look at him. Who wouldn’t want to marry that?” She didn't. At least not when they say that he’s cold-hearted. But again, she’s not the norm here because every female is gushing about him.

She closes the magazine loudly, deciding that she shouldn’t waste more time. She wants to get home on time today. Liv went on a field trip with her school and she wants to hear her little girl telling her about how exciting it was. Y/N still has a lot of work to do and also a meeting with her supervisor later. The sleazebag.

“So, can I go back to work?” She turns to Donna, “I have a meeting with Raphael in about twenty minutes.”

“Ew,” Donna cringes her nose.

Y/N rolls her eyes, “Exactly,”

“Will you tell him off?”

“I already did,” She sighs, “Multiple times,”

“Why don’t you just go to HR?”

Donna knows what happens. What always happens when she has a meeting with Raphael. He’s always trying things with her. Accidentally brushes his hand against her breast or her ass. He once told her to sit in his lap as he was showing her the numbers of her performance. It wasn’t the first time he suggested it, and she doubts that it will be the last time either. He tried to kiss her more than once, but knowing that they are in an office environment, he didn’t dare to force her too much. He also offers to drive her home almost every week, and she’s slowly getting tired of it, not to mention creeped out.

At their last meeting, he made her hang up a picture frame in his office. His hand rested on her hips to supposedly support her, but they traveled further down until he kneaded her ass in his palms. She immediately got down from there, and left the room wordlessly.

She knows another secret about Raphael, though. One she could use against him, but she just doesn’t know how just yet. Y/N knows and has got proof that he’s been skimming money. He takes it out of the customer’s account. Not a lot, a small sum that customers wouldn’t notice is missing, but in the end, it’s probably a whole lot when he does it to all the customers he’s supposed to look after.

Again, she can’t really bring that up because she’s sure that he’ll spin it around and Raphael is good at that. With a push on the button of his keyboard, he could reverse everything and she knows that.

“I can’t go to HR,” Y/N lowers her head and mumbles to her friend, “Because they won’t believe me,”

And that’s the truth too. The Head of HR is Duma, a woman who occasionally fucks Raphael. They have a friend with benefits thing going on, even if she’s married with children. Duma will never believe her because Y/N’s sure that Raphael can spin this perfectly to fit his narrative.

Besides, what can she possibly tell? It’s her against him. It’s like a mouse against an elephant. She’s only an accountant and is replaceable, whereas Raphael is a member of the leadership team. And who will be let go? She doesn’t think it’s going to be him and she needs the job to survive.

Y/N watches as Donna’s lips start to curl up, the white teeth of the woman are visible, as she drums her fingers annoyingly on her own desk.

With a frown, she asks her friend, “What?”

“I have an idea,” Donna says and pulls up her outlook calendar.

She types in something, and then a calendar appears with a lot of colorful blocks.

Oh no. She has quite the idea of who’s calendar it is even if she can’t read the name from where she’s sitting, which is too far away because she doesn’t want to give the impression that she’s not working. And it’s stupid that they can do that. They have quite an open calendar policy at the office. Everyone can send and block meetings for everyone, even for the icy King.

“Donna, no!”

“Why, Donna, yes!” Her friend grins, “He has an open window right now. The meeting in the boardroom is in ten minutes. You should go tell him what you know. If someone can change anything, it’s him, right?”

Donna’s not wrong, she isn’t. But Mr. Winchester is what? At least four tiers above her if not five. Why should he care what a simple worker in his company is thinking? Why should he care what the hell she goes through every day while he earns enough profit to fuel his expensive and glamorous lifestyle?

“He wouldn’t believe me,” She shakes her head.

“You can tell him about the money skimming, I bet he won’t be happy to hear that.”

“Ugh,”

Donna stands up and walks over to her, braces her hands on the chair Y/N’s sitting on, “What’s the worst that could happen, huh?”

“That I get fired?”

“Meh,” Donna squeaked, “I doubt that. You’re doing a great job. Your records are great. And besides, if they do that, you can go and file a lawsuit against them. Besides, who knows, if you go to HR, Raphael will fire you before the icy King does.”

True, but still.

“Now go get your ass up to the executive floor. Maybe take him a coffee, I heard he likes it black,”

“Oh, just like his heart?”

“Ya, maybe I wouldn’t tell him that?” Donna chuckles.

Y/N’s on her way to the elevators. She can’t believe that she’s really doing it. But Donna’s right. She can’t go on and live like that. It’s already hard to part from her child every morning and to get bullied at her job and being sexually harassed should not be the norm. She just fucking wants to earn enough money to keep her kid and herself above water.

God, she’s really doing it!

Fuck.

There are six elevators lined up in the foyer. Three on each side. Only one goes up to the executive floor and also one is reserved for Mr. Winchester’s penthouse on the top floor. Everybody knows that.

To get the elevator to run up to the executive floor, Y/N would need to have a card with a chip, which she doesn’t, and she feels stupid to have just realized it. And now she’s standing here, lost, with a hot black coffee in a lidless plastic cup that almost burns her fingers off.

Ugh.

She’s so fucking stupid.

Well, she could still try, couldn’t she? She jumped over her own fear and has come this far. She definitely shouldn’t give up now.

Her finger hovers over the buttons. Closing her eyes and exhaling loudly, she gives the button a push. Standing back, she waits, her heart is drumming loudly against her ribcage.

And she doesn’t even have to wait long because not even thirty seconds later, the elevator dings and opens up to reveal a man in a nice suit staring back at her.

It’s him.

Note

Can I get some headcanons with Free dating someone? I am WEAK

I might have rambled a bit on this one haha, feel free to resend the ask if you wanted something else!

— Psychic

Things to Note

the name should be an indicator, but Free enjoys his freedom— he’ll be resistant to anything that restricts it.

the Shishigumi comes first; even if Free is laidback, he's still part of the gang’s inner circle.

Meeting Free

surprisingly enough, your relationship with Free did not begin as anything sexual.

It doesn't even begin as a friendship — it's difficult to describe a situation wherein you find a random lion in your house.

You think he was trying to rob you.

You fainted, of course.

When you awoke, you found yourself on the floor with a nasty ache in your back and a note nearby.

The words were scribbled hastily in print; “WILL VISIT AGAIN SOON”.

You filed a police report, but nothing came of it— other an officer’s promise that the station would keep an eye out for “any suspicious characters”.

The police station is blind, you concluded. Reason being, the lion returned exactly a week later.

Now, Free (as you’ve learnt is his name) just waltzes in and makes himself at home.

No matter how often you changed the locks or fortified the windows, Free found a way in.

It was almost like a game for the feline— you gave up on trying to keep him out.

Free had a nasty habit of not taking off his dirty ass shoes before he put his feet up on your white couch.

As your relationship progressed, he became more mindful of his behaviour— though, it took him a while to remember not to put his shoes all over your furniture.

Gifts

you grew used to the lion visiting you randomly. Sometimes, Free did not visit you empty handed.

Free gave you an expensive phone— albeit one with a cracked screen, a watch that smelled like seawater and a couch with red polka-dots to replace the one he dirtied with the grime at the bottom of his shoe.

It took you ten minutes of cleaning your “brand-new” sofa to realise that the red spots were not part of the original design.

It was definitely best not to ask Free where exactly he sourced his gifts from.

You eventually began to feel a bit poorly about receiving things from him all the time.

The first time you presented Free with a gift, he shut down.

During his visits, Free liked to make use of your bathroom. He always set his suit, tie and shoes one side while he cleaned himself (and used up all your hot water in the process).

It was inevitable that you would notice the wrinkles, and the scuff marks.

You couldn't have something so unkempt in your house. It wasn't an issue for you to do a quick spot of ironing.

Even the shoes could be made presentable— you just had to wipe them off and apply a bit of black polish.

When Free realised what you had done, he seemed to be speechless. Just when you expected to hear a “Thank you Y/N”, God quickly brought you back to reality.

“You're going to do this sort of thing from now on?” He held the suit jacket up by its sleeves, as if searching for the wrinkles he knew were no longer present.

You shrugged. “If you keep your shoes off my couch, then sure,”

You thought that your gift would encourage him to visit more often, but for a whole month, Free did not visit you.

You wondered if the police had finally caught the bastard— but, after a month, he returned as if nothing had ever happened.

After that, he no longer showered at your place.

Free’s Thoughts & Motivations

this ‘relationship’ was the longest one Free had ever been in.

The lion who bathed in the revelry of the Black Market now looked forward not just to bloodshed, but to movie marathons and hearing you bitch about your neighbours.

The fear of this casualty metamorphosing into something serious . . . something permanent, compelled Free to leave you alone for a while to collect his thoughts.

He only visited you because your home was a convenient place to rest before returning to the Mansion.

(The night you met him, he'd broken in to avoid a police patrol in the area.)

The presents were bribes to keep you complacent.

(Though . . . maybe he felt a bit bad about ruining your sofa.)

As much as your gesture touched him, Free wanted nothing in return.

Your gift was proof that you held some kind of affection for him.

Free returned to the Mansion feeling quite warm inside that day, but he didn't dare shower at your place again.

The affection that you held for him, no matter how miniscule, was addictive.

Dating

The others didn't pay much attention to it when Free casually mentioned that he had a “friend" outside of the Black Market.

The inner circle grew suspicious when he refused to elaborate further.

“It's time that we address the elephant in the room.” Dolph gave a pointed look at the only empty chair in the room.

Free’s chair.

The others around the table nodded once in solemn agreement. Then, someone raised their hand.

Dolph’s expression seemed to soften the smallest amount. “Yes, Agata?”

“Who’s going to kill him if we find out he’s planning to leave the gang? I would volunteer but my shoulder's still healing from that last gang war—”

Before the scar-faced lion could reply, Ibuki interjected. “This is Free we are discussing— he would not betray the Shishigumi in such a manner. There's no need to discuss things like that,”

He tapped a claw against the table, “In any case, we will get to the bottom of this. Tonight.”

A Cause For Concern

you thought that you were being paranoid.

You hoped that you weren't really being followed.

There was no mistaking it.

Everywhere you went, everytime you went outside, it was there.

A singular black car.

“Eh? What are you panicking about?” You heard Free's voice, but you didn't respond. You tossed your car keys, and they landed on the kitchen table.

You sped over to the windows. With one, great motion, you drew them, only stopping when the entire house was draped in darkness.

“There’s this black car . . . It’s been tailing me all weekend,” Though your voice was calm, your hands were shaking as you made your way back to the couch.

Free grew thoughtful, but only for the briefest of moments. He waved dismissively, and lapped one leg over the other, pulling you onto his lap with his free arm.

“Don’t worry about it. Just the Shishigumi being the Shishigumi. They won't break in or anything,”

Silence hung in the air only for half a minute, before Free added, “Probably won't, anyways,”

But, you are more focused on the s-word, rather than on what they may or may not do to your home.

“Shishigumi . . .?” The word was foreign on your tongue, but it was not entirely unfamiliar.

You didn't move off of his lap, but you gently pried off the hands that held your waist in place.

If you didn't know better, you would have sworn that Free looked just a bit . . . hurt by your actions. Still, he got the message and his hands remained at either side of himself.

You were grateful for that much.

“I didn't stutter,” The lion tsked. His hand slid over his mane. He was antsy about something, thag much you knew.

When Free next spoke, his voice was low. His chin rest atop your head, and you could easily feel the calming vibration of his throat.

“It doesn't bother you, right?”

A sigh escaped your lips. You pinched your nose. You internally debated strangling him for daring to ask something with such an obvious answer.

Of course you would mind! You felt as if you had always known Free was part of some illegal operation— but, it had never crossed your mind to assume the lion was in an actual gang!

No . . . that was a lie.

The thought had crossed your mind. You willed the thought to go away everytime it reared its ugly head.

“No, I don't mind, Free. I don't mind at all.”

Going Steady

Free talked things out with his colleagues— that's what he told you, at least.

The ominous black vehicle that stalked your every move disappeared just as quickly as it had appeared.

Life went back to normal, though, the visitor's list expanded by eight more lions.

Ibuki and Dolph were infrequent visitors— if they stopped by, then you knew it was on important business.

Agata often fetched your groceries, so you saw him often.

Miguel, Dope and Jinma visited infrequently, but were not as rare to see as Ibuki and Dolph.

Hino, like Agata, was a regular. He mostly crashed in your guest room— apparently, it was easier to fall asleep at your place.

Once every few months, Sabu would deliver your groceries instead of Agata. He seemed nice enough, but you found him to be intimidating as hell.

For better or for worse, Free begun spending nights at your house.

It would be wrong to call him a freeloader, though.

“There's ten grand in here . . .” You murmured to yourself. You turned the envelope over in your hands. Your name was written on the side, in Free's chickenscratch penmanship.

But, there was also a note; “10K. RENT MONEY FOR Y/N.”

fire & desire (ch.5)

Author: frogfits

Pairing: Bakugou Katsuki x Reader

Genre: Friends to Lovers, UA!AU, Slow Burner, Eventual Smut

Word Count: 2.2k

Description: You are student at UA High School, in class 1A. You had all grown close during your first year, especially a certain few. Your extremely powerful water quirk places you at one of the top spots in the class, along with some of your closest friends. But when your best friend begins to open up to you even more than he has before, even risking his life, what will come of it?

─── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

“So let’s address the elephant in the room, I guess.” Denki started, “Todoroki, y/n, what’s with the girlfriend thing?”

Bakugou averted his attention to the boy who was talking, also interested in what you had to say about that.

“That’s just what Dabi says. He always sees us walking home together and so he assumes things,” Todoroki explained to them, “He’s kinda dense if you haven’t noticed.”

You were currently sitting on the barstool again, your face buried in your arms as you rested your head on the counter.

“The only person that I can’t get a hold of is Midoriya.” Ashe said, tossing her phone rather harshly onto the counter, “He won’t answer any calls or texts.”

“Call his mom.” You muffled through your arms. Ashe immediately began to dial the number.

“Don’t get her all worked up, just play it off like you wanted to hang out with him.” Bakugou said, tapping his fingers on the counter in anticipation. You could tell that he seemed worried about everything just like the rest of you.

She put it on speaker so that you could all hear what she had to say. It only took a few rings before she picked up, confusion etched in her voice as she uttered, “Hello?”

“Hello, Mrs. Midoriya, yeah, I was just wondering if Izuku was there?” Ashe started, you could tell she was growing nervous at the conversation already.

“Uh, no, sweetheart, he actually went to go train this evening and then said that he was going to Kirishima’s to stay overnight.” You could sense some worry in her voice as she explained her sons supposed whereabouts, “Why, is everything okay?”

“Oh, yes, everything is fine! We just wanted to see if he wanted to hang out with us and he wasn’t texting us back.” Ashe rubbed the back of her head while trying her best to lie, “We will just call Kirishima then, thank you, Mrs. Midoriya.”

“Of course, sweetie, let me know if you need anything or if anything happens, okay?” She had a hint of panic in her voice as she ended the phone call.

The woman had way too much concern in her body for her own well being. But then again, her son had faced death countless times so she couldn’t be blamed for that.

“Of course, I will be sure to do that. He and Kiri are probably just busy playing games,” Ashe laughed into the receiver, “Thanks again, bye!”

With that, she hung up and looked around the room at the rest of the crew, gauging their reactions to the phone call.

“So should we stop by Kiri’s?,” Bakugou started, “He might be able to help us, too.”

You sighed, slamming your hand down on the counter, “And then what do we do if he’s missing? What’s our plan for then? We have no idea where the hell Dabi is, so that tells us nothing about where they could have Midoriya.”

You didn’t mean to snap and sound angry, but you couldn’t suppress the feeling of this being all your fault. If they didn’t supposedly want you like they had said, then nobody would be in this current predicament.

“I mean, she has a point. How in the hell are we supposed to find out where Dabi is?” Denki questions, observing everyone’s worried expressions.

“Let’s focus on making sure everyone is okay first. We technically don’t even know if anyone is in danger,” Todoroki explained, “We’re thinking too far ahead.”

You shook your head, scooting your stool out abruptly before storming off. You just needed to get away, and fast. The fog consuming your brain was too much to handle at the moment, so you needed to clear it as soon as you could.

Slamming the patio door behind you, you walk to the edge of the pool and sat down next to it, tucking your knees into your chest. You were too angry to even cry anymore, and there wasn’t much time to sit and determine your emotions when there were people facing death as they spoke.

“Hey.” You looked up to see Bakugou towering above you. You angrily averted your gaze back to the body of water in front of you.

He was one of the last people you wanted to see right now. You couldn’t handle your emotions over this situation plus him.

“Bakugou I just-”

“No, listen.” He snapped. He sounded angry in a way, which tended to happen when he had an emotion that he couldn’t quite express.

You were already angry and quite honestly didn’t feel like being pushed around and told what to do right now. You just wanted to scream, and here was Bakugou making the sensation worse by talking to you like that.

“You can’t just storm out here and force me to listen to whatever you have to say, Bakugou.”, You started, “Do you think this is easy for me?”

You stood off of the ground and turned to face him, “Do you think I’m just okay watching my friends go missing because of me? I’ve already made my decision so there’s no need to talk me out of it.”

Bakugou’s eyes went wide as he absorbed your words, further anger rising in his chest, “You made your decision? What the hell is that supposed to mean?”

“It means that they can have me. I’m going to hand myself over so that everyone else stays safe.” You practically yelled, crossing your arms over your chest, “If they wanna kill me then they can, I don’t care.”

“Are you fucking stupid?” Bakugou yelled, making you winced at his choice of words,“They just want you to join their little gang, are you saying you want to be a villain now? Great, yeah, that’ll solve everything.”

You were both fuming over this conversation and nobody was calm enough to think clearly. This is not how he planned that it would go when he came outside to talk to you. He was going to try and help you feel better, but maybe what you needed was to yell at someone, which he understood more than anyone.

“No, I don’t want to be a fucking vi-” You started, but stopped, just staring at him out of pure anger. Who did he think he was? First he’s an asshole to you, then he’s decent to you, then he kisses you and now here he is doing whatever this is. He didn’t deserve an explanation for anything.

“You know what, Katsuki? Fuck you.” Tears welled up in your eyes as you stormed away from him, making a beeline straight to your room.

“Y/n wait, I didn’t-” He started before realizing you were already halfway in the door, “FUCK!”

He put his head in his hands as he began to wonder whether or not he should chase after you, eventually deciding that he should let you cool down before coming to talk to you. He had started the conversation the wrong way, which led you to believe he was going to project some opinionated thought onto you.

You ignored the calls after you as you stormed your way up the stairs toward your bedroom. You didn’t mean to be that aggressive toward Bakugou, but everything was coming down all at once. Your trauma, everyone knowing about said trauma, the chance of someone missing, and the fact that your mother is supposedly back and wants something to do with you.

You face-planted on your bed as soon as you slammed your bedroom door behind you. You had hoped that nobody would follow you in there as you really wanted to be alone with your thoughts. Whether that was good for you or not was a whole other question in itself.

What the hell were you supposed to do? You would rather die than become a villain, so if that was what needed to be done then so be it. You had no problem risking your life for the sake of other people’s.

The groan that emitted from your throat as you heard the dreaded creak from the bottom hinge of your door was intense. You really needed to remind dad to fix that.

You threw a pillow over your head to block out the view of whoever the perpetrator was that just entered your room. At this moment, you only could wish that people cared about you less.

“Y/n, what happened out there?” Immediately recognizing Todoroki’s voice, you pressed the soft cotton harder into your face and groaned again. He was the last person that you wanted to see you in this state.

“Hmsh shem mergn esr me.” You mumbled through the pillow.

You suddenly felt a cold draft on your face before you were met with Todoroki’s eyes. He had laid down on his stomach next to you, propped up on his arms when he ripped the pillow off of your face.

“Say that again.” His face was practically hovering directly over yours as he said this, making it much harder for you to think.

“He’s so mean to me.” You whispered, admiring his brown and blue eyes, seeing as they were only inches away from yours.

“It’s because he cares about you, y/n, like, a lot.” He sighed.

“Since who are you to defend Bakugou?” You scoffed, “You two aren’t necessarily.. besties.”

“Yeah, well, it doesn’t take a genius to see it.” He scoffed back, seemingly frustrated at his statement.

“See what?” You asked, but were immediately cut off by the sound of that god awful hinge again.

Bakugou stood in the door frame, carefully observing the position that you and Todoroki were currently in. It dawned on you how suspicious this position you were lying in might look to somebody else.

He furrowed his eyebrows together and looked at the ground as he spoke, “Kirishima is here. Deku’s missing.”

_______________________________________________________________________

“No, he wasn’t there either, I looked everywhere.” Kirishima explained.

It was now rounding about two in the morning, and everyone was growing extremely restless while you all sat on the large couches placed around the living room. You were seated on the biggest couch in between Kirishima and Todoroki. All you could focus on was the fact that this entire situation was all your fault, and it couldn’t be sacked from your brain.

Denki had fallen asleep on the couch that he was currently sharing with Ashe. The poor boy didn’t even sleep the previous night due to his intense gaming session with Shinso.

You had your knees folded into your chest with your arms wrapped around your legs, chin resting on your knees. Your eyes were puffy from crying and your oversized hoodie you were wearing was a little damp on the cuffs from wiping your eyes constantly.

“I’m so sorry.” You whispered, another unintentional tear escaping your right eye, “I can go alone. It’s me that they want anyway.”

Bakugou scoffed, looking at you from his spot on the single chair angled in between two of the three couches, “Don’t be ridiculous, you won’t be doing anything alone.”

Tension was high enough already, and the situation with Bakugou was not helping in the slightest. His previous statement wasn’t intended to be rude. You knew he cared about you, but it was hard to pick up on the meaning of his words and actions when they just always come out the wrong way.

You managed a small closed-mouth smile to send his way as a form of gratitude, and were equally surprised when you thought you had seen one of the corners of his mouth turn upwards.

Kirishima wrapped an arm around your shoulder as if to console you before suggesting, “But I think we should all get some rest. If we don’t hear from Midoriya or Dabi by morning, we set out.”

“I agree. This is a lot to process and we aren’t going to get anywhere with no sleep.” Todoroki nodded, meeting your eye and sending you a sympathetic smile.

You softly nodded, “Ashe and I can sleep in dad’s bed. You all can sleep in my bed, the guest room, or the couches.”

Yawning, you stood up and wrapped one of the blankets that was on the back of the couch around your shoulders. You began your ascent up the stairs. There was absolutely no way in hell that you were going to get even the slightest bit of sleep. How could you, when you had so many things to think about? On the other hand, you had been through so much distress tonight that you couldn’t seem to stay conscious as you brushed your teeth in front of your father’s huge mirror in his bathroom.

You stared at the ceiling above you for what seemed like hours as you listened to Ashe breathe softly in her sleep beside you.

The drowsiness finally took over you, your eyes becoming heavy when you saw the glimmer of the sunrise between the soft black fabric of the curtains.

You let your eyes close before whispering, “Please be okay, Midoriya.”

a/n: thank you for reading! new chapters will be posted frequently, as listed on the fire & desire master list.
