How do you think the brothers would react to walking into MC’s room after looking for them to find them lying on bed, headphones in with a full face mask on? I’m talking cucumber slices on the eyes the whole deal. (Obviously Beel is gonna eat the cucumber but hey 😅)

Ah, thanks anon for a fun one! Self care is soooo important! Makes me want to go do a face mask now. Especially if my favorite boys are going to be there.

The Brothers Walking in on MC Enjoying a Face Mask and Self Care

Lucifer-

Busy demon boy. He knocks but is a bit concerned when he doesn’t hear an answer. Actually, a bit perturbed, if we’re honest! (Solely believes you should definitely answer him at whatever time he spends the time to do a welfare check)

Stops at the door when he sees MC lounging on their bed. Amused. Amusement turns to warm fuzzies. There they are, the affliction of his wounded heart, relaxing and listening to music, completely oblivious to watchful eyes.

The face mask even adds a pleasant smell to the room. Well, well, aren’t they a gorgeous, flawed mess? Won’t admit to wanting to encourage this in his personal space. Most certainly won’t confess to wanting to slurp up the peaceful energy of said self-care either.

Instead, he slips into the kitchen, being positive to not being seen. He prepares a relaxing herbal tea that always refreshes him on the off chance of a moment of peace. Once that is brewed to perfection, he will, with deadly silence, sneak into MC’s room and set the cup down.

They manage to peel the cucumbers off just before watching his silent escape. The warm tea is steaming next to them on the night table.

Cute. Stalkery, but cute.

"I enjoy thoroughly that you don't need to be instructed to take care of yourself."

Mammon-

Never knocks. Don’t expect it now. Even after he heard Asmo gave MC an excellent something or other to have some personal time. MC’s time is his time.

He barges into the room with his usual bravado, to note that MC hadn’t even commented. He glances over to see this goopy mess with cucumbers and a towel around their hair. Ugh. Asmo has them into that stupid self-care crap he’s been shoving!

Pouty boy. Wants attention and their attention to be real. He slumps on the bed and removes a cucumber from MC’s eyes. Starts talking regardless of if MC can hear. Then blames MC for not paying attention when they take off their headphones.

Starts a nonsense conversation. Doesn’t care about the topic, but he will continue it as long as MC gives him attention. Will be a blushing mess if MC asks if he wants them to do a mask for him.

Mammon snorts and deflects about that being Asmo’s thing. However, if MC offers to do the whole pampering effect that comes with the face mask… well, he might, ya know, be alright, maybe? Blushy blushy mess.

MC kisses his cheek, and he’s done for, even if he jumps up and spits out about it being gross and crackly from the mask. Has to leave. Cuteness overload. Poor baby boi doesn’t know how to handle soft feelings so well.

“Yeah, well, I gotta go. Maybe when you clean that crap off, you can come to my room. We’ll do something, ya know, together?”

Levi-

Knocks twice. Pissed MC didn’t answer. Glances in and blinks. Oh, they looked so peaceful. Is that the Rui-chan plushie he gave them? Oh, MC is tugging at his heart like an anime trope!

Slides inside and debates on bothering them. Just wants to admire MC a moment while he’s blushing and his brain is sputtering. MC had the plushie against their chest while relaxing on the bed.

Fiddles with his fingers and knows he should leave but likes this. A lot. Wants no one else to bother them. This moment is his. Cute. MC is a cute, adorable anime story waiting to be told. The only thing missing…

MC shifts and peels off a cucumber to reach for the boba tea he bought them earlier. Cue, nervous, mortified otaku!

However, MC doesn’t get upset and waves before taking off their headphones. They say they were just enjoying the TSL soundtrack. Even more blushing??! He can’t handle it and covers his face.

Sputtering about some streaming he needed to do, he tells them not to forget to meet him after dinner for their friendship dailies! Runs, not walks, out of the room.

Clutches his heart the whole way up the stairs and even hides his face from Mammon as he passes him on the stairs. It was just like that anime. I fell in love with a witch, and she didn’t even realize it because I can’t speak. The scene was remarkably similar.

“Ah, yeah, well, I just wanted t-to be sure you’re still coming t-tonight. You are right? I mean, I don’t want to bother you with it, y-yeah?”

Satan-

Knocks three times. Patiently waits. Until he’s not patient. Not happy to be ignored without even a response as to why MC isn’t answering.

Opens the door to see MC on their bed in a face mask. Aww, that’s cute. He likes cute things, and MC is equated to a cat sunbathing in a window. Walks over and touches MC’s shoulder.

MC jerks, but as the cucumber is removed, they smile and pat the bed. He is so pleased. Sitting down toward the center of the mattress, he assists MC to relax against his lap. Without removing their headphones, they comply.

He then opens his book and begins to read while removing the towel around MC’s hair. Ah, yes, this was peaceful and relaxing in so many ways. He was able to stroke MC’s hair and read with them while they indulged in self-care.

Perfection. He even offers to help them clean their face. Sweet little nerd. Knows why self-care is so important and relishes that MC doesn't mind his presence while doing so.

“I know you can’t hear me, but I thoroughly enjoy it when you take care of yourself. It makes me want to take care of you more.”

Asmo-

Barges in. Knows exactly what they're doing when he sees MC. Actually, knows it’s a great idea and skips up to his bathroom for his face mask! Has it prepped and ready to go with his own set of cucumbers.

Races into the room and tucks onto the bed next to MC. They remove the cucumbers and smile with a nod before taking off their headphones. He is so happy! Place the cucumbers on his own eyes.

Talk. Real talk, honey. Will go on about his Devilgram, what he saw at RAD, and even his brothers. All of it is light and airy. No bitching in a pamper session. This is all about that dopamine and good feels.

Insists that they continue with this pamper session with massages and manicures. Won’t mind at all if MC says they want to start doing this weekly. He is there, baby!

It becomes routine, and no one is going to disturb them! Encourages MC to try different masks and will be the guru of making them look as great as they make him feel! Expect cuddles and lots of kisses after the mask comes off!

“Oh! I’m so happy you want to do this! If we can do a whole session instead of just the mask, I will make you feel almost as great as I look!”

Beel-

Hungry boi. Wants to invite MC out for a snack, but no answer to his knocking? Are they alright? He saw them go into their room earlier.

He walks in to see MC on the bed, headphones on, and a mud mask? That’s what Asmo calls them, right? It smells waaaay too good to be mud. Walks over and eyes MC with confused interest.

Had no idea they liked putting food on their face. Food. Sits down on the bed and grabs one of the cucumbers. Tastes just like the sweetness of MC and food. Loves it.

MC smiles and hands him the other before taking off their headphones. Happy boi asks what they’re doing. They answer with a simple answer of self-care. The long day at RAD made them feel tired.

Asks if the mask is edible, to which MC replies and laughing negative. Oh, that makes no sense. It smells good. They offer to do a mask for him but doubt he’d be able to not eat it.

He laughs and nods before asking if they were almost done. He now has a craving for ice cream and maybe a half-dozen of burgers. MC sits up and kisses his cheek before nodding.

He is glowing with happiness and kisses their masked cheek. Unfortunately, he couldn’t help it and licks their face. Definitely doesn’t taste as great as it smells. MC laughs and pats his shoulder, saying they’ll be out in a few minutes so they can get a snack.

“You always taste good, but that mud doesn’t. You still look cute.”

Belphie-

Not a knocker. Doesn’t care to knock. MC is his human, and love knows no bounds. That includes doors.

Walks in to see MC on the bed with headphones and a mask. Cute. Adorable. Cuddly. Now his whole plan of going to the attic is out the window.

Slumps on the bed and buries his face in MC’s chest. Looks up to see they peel a cucumber off to see it’s him and smiles. Thump. Thump. His heart is growing by the second.

MC sighs and starts running their fingers through his hair after placing the cucumber back on their eye. Happy, sleepy boi. Cuddles closer and nuzzles with the equivalent of a sadistic sleepy cat.

MC has to beg him to let them go so they can remove it. He pouts and waits for them to return, only to entrap them in his arms and claim they smell too good to let go, and they feel so peaceful. Time for a nap.

“I love that you smell so wonderful and refreshing. Next time tell me when you’re going to do this so I can enjoy the whole thing.”

Opposites Attract - (Kelley O'Hara x reader)

Y/n's Pov

I groan loudly as I can't concentrate on my book because of the noise coming from next door. "That's it! I'm going to go tell them to stop" Becky snaps putting down her book. I sigh, "I'll go. Don't want anyone getting the look and dying". Becky laughs while I slip on my slides and do next door. When I knock on the door I hear a loud thump of something hitting the ground and then a groan.Meaning someone got pushed off a bed.

I've been with these idiots long enough to know what that sounds like.

After a minute Emily answers the door. When she sees me she grins and latches onto my arm and drags me into the room, "Look who I found". Everyone turns to me and I blush from the attention. I look around the room and it's the usual suspects. Meaning all the youngsters plus Kelley.

"Awwww we got Y/n all blushy" Rose teases. I roll my eyes and fix my glasses on my nose, "I didn't come here to be teased. If anything you should be thanking me, I saved you from a Becky lecture. We're trying to read next door but your being too loud". "Sorry Y/n, we'll keep it down now" Mal says flashing her adorable smile. I smile and nod back. "You look like such a nerd right now Y/n" Lindsey laughs. I look down at what I'm wearing. I have my hair in a messy bun while a wear an old oversized hoodie and my pajamas pants. I roll my eyes at Lindsey, "Don't be mean just because I can read, college skipper". The room erupts into laughter, "Ohhh who knew Y/n has a sassy side". Again I roll my eyes for the umpteenth time since I've walked into the room.

"Hey Y/n we were planning on going out tonight. You should come" Emily says. I shake my head slightly, "No thanks I'm not really one for going out". "Cmon Y/n it'll be fun. I promise" Kelley pouts from the bed. I sigh, "Fine okay. Just don't expect me in a dress". The room cheer and I turn and head for the door. I go back to my room and Becky looks up at me "You talk to them?". "They're quieter aren't they" I sass. Becky laughs, "Well yeah but what took you so long?". Before I can answer there's a knock at the door. Since I'm already standing beside the door I go to answer it. "Oh hey Kel, you need something?". "Just telling you were planning on leaving in about an hour to go out. Emily found a club a few minutes away" Kelley smiles. I nod, *Okay I'll come to yours and Mal's room when I'm ready". Kelley bounces excited, "Cool. See you in a few". I close the door and turn to see Becky smirking at me.

"Your so whipped"

"What?!" I whip my head around and look at her. "It's so obvious that you like Kelley" she laughs. "What makes you say that?" I ask. "Oh please Kelley is the only person that would be able to get you to go out willingly". Well damn. "Is it that noticeable?" I say rubbing the back of my neck sheepishly. She just nods smiling, "To everybody but Kelley I guess". I groan and flop on my bed. "Cmon let's go find you something hot to get Kelley drool over you".

*After Y/n leaves the room*

Kelley's Pov

"There your welcome squirrel, we got Y/n to come out with us" Emily cheers. "What?" I ask. "Oh come on everyone knows you like her" Rose complains. Everyone nods their head with her statement. "Guys even if I did like her. And I'm if I did, there's no way she likes me. She would probably like someone less crazy than I am" I sigh. "Dude everyone knows she likes you as well" Lindsey says. I just shake my head, "I'm going to go tell Y/n we're planning on leaving in an hour".

Y/n's Pov

"I need to learn to say no to Kelley" I mumble quietly before knocking on her door. The door swings open suddenly and Kelley looks at me, "Woah". I raise an eyebrow at her, "I told you not to expect me in a dress Kel". She just shakes her head blushing, "No what I mean is you look amazing". I smile at the flustered defender in front of me, "Thanks Kel. You look beautiful as always". Kelley goes to say something but Mal comes out of the bathroom, "Okay Kelley I'm read- oh hey Y/n. You look nice". "Thanks Mal you look great as well. Ready to head?". Kelley and Mal grab their stuff and we head down to the lobby to meet the others. I take the keys of Emily before we can go any further, "We all know if anyone's driving it's me. I also promised Becky you would come back alive". We load into one of the team vans and I drive to the club.

We've been here an hour and I've already lost control. The minute we stepped in Emily ordered shots and it kinda just went from there. Lindsey is off dancing with Emily Kelley and Mal. Rose is sitting here with me taking a break because her feet hurt apparently.

Heels suck majorly sometimes

I'm sticking to water knowing I have to make sure everyone gets back to the hotel safely. I'm talking with rose when I see Emily Lindsey and Mal come over and sit with us. "Where's Kelley?" I ask the trio. The three look behind them, "I thought she was behind us".

Shit

I look around and finally spot Kelley with a guy. The guy has Kelley's wrist in his hand while Kelley is trying to pull away. "I'll be right back" I tell the others. I push my way to where Kelley is. As I get closer I can hear Kelley talking to the guy, "Look I'm sorry but I have to get back to my friends". "Aw cmon babe, forget your friends I can show you a good time" the guys slurs out. "Dude back off she said let go" I say. He turns to me, "Stay out of this". I roll my eyes and pull Kelley from his grasp and gently push her behind me, "Dude just walk away, she's clearly not interested". "What you going to do about it shortstack" he says tumbling towards us shoving me backwards. Although he's like twice my size, soccer has done wonders for my strength and I punch in across the face knocking him unconscious. I take Kelley's hand and lead her outside for a bit. I look towards the table where their mouths are dropped in shock. I see Mal and mouth, 'We'll be back in a few minutes' and she nods understanding. Once we're outside I turn to Kelley, "You okay?". She looks at me amazed, "Why are you asking if I'm okay! You just took out a guy twice your size with one punch". I chuckle slightly, "I'm fine. Just didn't like how handsy the guy was getting with you". Kelley grins at me, "Yeah thanks the guy wouldn't leave me alone. And I guess the others didn't realise I got stopped. You give one mean right hook though". "Yeah I guess I just didn't like how close he was getting to you" I whisper hoping she wouldn't hear the last part. I guess she did as she steps closer to me to the point where our noses are touching, "And why is that?". I look at her hazel eyes and I just get lost in them.

Ah fuck it, it's now or never.

"Maybe because I want to be the only one who gets close to you like that" I whisper back. She doesn't say anything. Instead she starts to slowly lean in, almost like she's asking for permission. I lean in the rest if the way while our lips finally meet. I melt into the kiss. Goddamn her lips are addicting. We separate when oxygen becomes a problem. "Wow" Kelley mutters. I laugh at her dazed response which she joins in on. "And here I thought you wouldn't like me because I'm too quiet" I say to her. She laughs, "Well that punch wasn't exactly quiet was it". We both laugh again. "But for real, I thought you wouldn't like my crazy hot mess". I just peck her lips again quickly, "Well I do. A lot". Kelley just smiles slipping her hand into mine, "I guess opposites really do attract".

Lapidot returns coastline to Bolivia by accident. (Part One) (This is for my nerd homie it makes sense when in context with her)

It was a crisp saturday morning on the side of earth that Lapis Lazuli (ranked the most beautiful gem on earth according to an anonymous poll) feeling blue as a shoe.

"Everyday I'm Lapis..." She said, casually flipping through channels like she actually wanted to see what was on. She didn't really. "And I don't want to be. Why was I meant to be the sadden gem who feels tired and glum all the time?"

"Lazuliiiiii!" A crunchy voice came from below.

"Hello Peridot..." Why can't I be like peridot, brave and fierce and cute and sweet and fun all at once? Lapis thought.

"Lazuli are you up there moping in the second barn I rebuilt? It's not your new glum puddle."

"Peridot I want to watch TV right now. I don't want to go on any missions."

"No you don't, and besides I am just here to ask you if you wanna hang out you silly clod!"

Lapis Lazuli smiled and blushed.

"I mean...hehe...sorry you're not a clod lazuli can you please come down? I miss having fun with you!"

"I thought you said I got on your nerves peridot~" Lapis said, bemused.

"Lazuli nooo I just uh... oh just come down already!"

Lapis slurked down the barn still tired and depressed.

Peridot noticed this and said "Stay here, I'll go get Spinel. She cheers everyone up! Except when she is trying to kill us but...well, she probably won't do that anymore! Ehehehe."

Peridot scampered off, returning soon later with a floppy, rather limp spinel. "Lazuli um... I need your help..."

"Nnngh..." groaned Spinel in clear discomfort.

"What's wrong? What happened to you Spinel?"

"Ugh.. I got hurt in a team fortress match... cracked my gem..."

"But Spinel, that game is way too violent for you!"

Her hair dropped sadly out of shame. "I know...I'm sorry Lapis, I found that out the hard way."

"How did you even get hurt playing a computer game?" Peridot asked.

"Computer...?"

Peridot gasped. "You didnt play it in real life did you?!"

"Mhmm... I did... Owww. A robot sniper had aimbot and he got a gemshot me!"

"Spinel, you should know better than to play that in real life. Come on." Lapis Lazuli grabbed Spinel and carried her over her shoulder back to the barn. "We need to call Steven and Pearl, they will know what to do."

Peridot followed behind Lapis into the barn, enjoying the view.

Spinel groaned in pain and said "Hey Lapis! Peridot is staring at your-" "NO I AM NOT, I AM NOT STARING AT ANYTHING, STOP TRYING TO GET ME IN TROUBLE SPINEL."

Lapis Lazuli ignored them and set Spinel on a bale of hay. She picked up the telephone off the receiver and dialed Steven's number on the number wheel.

"Pfft, lazuli, that phone is so old fashioned!" Peridot giggled. "When I first came to earth we didnt have those! What are you talking about Peridot?" Spinel said.

"Spinel you first got here thousands of years ago!"

"Hehehehe."

"Shush." Lazuli said. "This is most distressing and serious. Now, let me talk to Steven."

Stevens voice came through. "Believe it or not, Steven isnt at home, where could I be🎶" Said the automated message.

"Huh. I guess him and Pearl left?"

"Hhhhhhh Lapis! My gem hurts!" Spinel complained.

"Yes, I know Spinel. We will get you patched up. Let's call a geologist."

She flipped through the yellow pages of a phone book, remarking how old it was by how long it must have sat there for the pages to get so yellow.

After a quick call and scheduling an appointment for later that day (geologists aren't known for exactly being booked) they headed out.

"It says we have to go to Delaware." Lapis Lazuli said. She was smiling, enjoying having something do do.

"Deleware-?! But Lazuli! We cant go to Delaware!" Peridot pointed out.

Lapis giggled. "Not the state, Peridot. The old mining town just north of here. Confusing name, I know. Let's go!"

Lapis ran up the hillside, humming to herself. Peridot, carrying the now woozy Spinel, followed. "Hey wait up Lazuli! I cant go as fast when carrying spinel! My legs are too short.

Lapis turned around and grinned. "Don't worry Peridot! I got you!"

A wave swirled up from the ocean, picked up Peridot and Spinel, and carried them straight up the hill like they were nothing. "W-Woah!!" shouted Peridot. "Wheee!" added Spinel.

While the other two tumbled along through the water, when it reached the top Lapis jumped atop the wave and surfed it on her feet. "H-Hey! Lapis Lazuli-" Spinel tried to warn her that the sniper grounds were up north but Lapis did not hear her over the rushing water that kept cutting spinel off.

Some time later the wave crashed to a halt and Lapis Lazuli was holding the two smaller gems in her arms. "Now, how was that for a ride?" She asked calmly.

"Ehehehehe that was great Lazuli~" Peridot giggled, all blushy from being held by her crush.

"Guys.. Um... This is where I got hurt." Spinel muttered, putting her two index fingers together.

"What, this old train yard? With the train cars stacked up and the construction materials and equipment all over the place?" Lapis asked. "You fought a sniper with aimbot here?"

Spinel nodded nervously.

Something creaked in the distance, the sound echoing off the metal walls of the train cars.

"Spinel, what made you think anything about fighting here was safe? Why were you even here?"

Spinel bit her lower lip. "I... I just wanted to play..."

"Awe." Peridot said softly.

Lapis patted Spinel on the head. "Don't worry Spinel, we are almost there. The hatch leading down to Delaware should be around here somewhere."

"Did somebody say they want to challenge me?" A robotic voice called out. A sniper appeared over the top of one of the traincar stacks. He was t-posing to assert his dominance.

"Ah, Spinel! Back for round two against the Greatest, most Skillful robot sniper in the world?"

Spinel glared at him. "You aren't great at all! You have no skill, you use aimbot!" She yelled up at him.

"Of course I do! I am A ROBOT! AHAHAHAHA!" The sniper bot laughed in his rattly electronic tone. Suddenly, a blob of water engulfed him from behind and knocked him off the stack and sent him crashing to the ground. It would have knocked the wind out of him and broken his bones, if he had lungs or bones. The water hit the ground with a great splash that soaked the gems.

"There. Machines hate water." Lapis Lazuli said, in a satisfactory tone.

"Fool." He beeped in response. "I am covered in a water-repellent gloss! I am a waterproof bot! Did you really think it would never occur to me that someone may try to use a robot's weaknesses against me?!"

Lapis sighed and put the other two behind her. "Stay back girls. I will protect you from this.... Thing."

"Thing?! Oh that does it. Prepare to die!" The sniper raised his rifle, and aimed with perfect precision on her gem. He pulled the trigger but nothing happened.

"Did YOU really thing that your gunpowder weapon would work after getting soaked? Ah ha ha ha ha ha!" Lazuli said, mocking his previous words and rattly robot laughter. Spinel and Peridot also giggled behind her.

To be continued...

bae jinyoung - demigod!au; demeter

honestly, the boy is just very misunderstood

he lived in the big city near the piers and beaches

him and his father ran a flower shop in that city and jinyoung loved it

he loved having the big and busy city life but also being able to see the sea and his flower shop for relaxation

it was a nice balance

he loved his father deeply since they only had each other

so when he was brought to camp he was furious, he hated it

he wanted to go back to his comfortable home, plus his dad was alone when he wasn’t there

that’s how he got his cold image at camp half blood

he didn’t talk to many people, he never shared his life, heck people barely knew his last name

“bong jinyoung?? bing jingyoung” the hermes cabin would giggle

he was exactly what you expected, bad at almost everything

he couldn’t get up the lava wall, sucked at capture the flag, couldn’t carry a sword and slept through greek mythology, history and language

he was good at harvesting of course and had all the basic demeter children skills

one he didn’t reveal was that he could teleport (geeky i know)

he can think of any plant to swallow him up and take him somewhere else

he’s still working on the distance (which is why he hasn’t escaped and went home yet) but i mean he loves beating everyone to the showers

so one day he was assigned to fix up all the wall plants along the cabin and change the ones hanging on the porch

head counselor euiwoong was getting sick of him being lazy

as he was throwing out the vines, he didn’t pay attention to the people that were walking about

and you were a bit too engrossed in your book to pay attention to the ground

so guess who tripped over the vines?? you!

and he turns around, slightly annoyed cause whats the commotion but immediately feels guilty as he hears people laughing at you for tripping face first into the dirt road

he kneels down next to you a little bit of second hand embarrassment is seen on his face

“uh hey sorry, are you okay??” he’s kinda awkward cause he doesn’t really talk to people

“yea yea,” you get up and dust yourself and the book off “just try not to leave your vines off the main road yea?”

“okay” and he just returns to the plants on the cabin, leaving the vines on the ground

you raise a brow did this boy straight up ignore me?

and he isn’t he’s just being the normal demeter kid he is

as the stubborn athena child, you don’t accept just an “okay”, you march back up to him

“how dare you, can’t you see that you’re being an inconvenience to the rest of the campers?”

“no one is here?” he turns back at you and motions to the empty ground

“but yea, what if someone else comes by and trips like i did?”

“shouldn’t they be more careful? i mean you were the one reading and not paying attention to the road”

you kinda want to stab him at this point, but he really doesn’t give two flying fucks and goes back to wall vine set up thing

and you stomped off, a little angered

and the next time you guys meet, you guys were having sword training class and were assigned as each other’s partner

you being athena’s child were easily capable of adjusting to any sort of weapon whereas he wasn’t experienced much in sword fighting

so you easily have the tip of your blade at his chest plate in a few swings

he just rolls his eyes, admitting defeat and smacking his blade into yours to knock it off

“you should try to bend your knees in the first position in order to be more steady as you start” you smirked, remembering the time he tripped you at the cabins

this was payback

but he’s ignoring you he’s actually just spacing out honestly

and you’re like “uh hello are you paying attention??”

he shakes his head, snapping back to reality and you’re rolling your eyes

“cmon, the sword isn’t gonna strike without you”

and he’s back at it again,

with each defeat, he gets more and more stubborn

he isn’t frustrated, he’s much more patient then you expected

maybe it’s the way you’re shouting commands and tips at him with each battle

and he hates being told what to do

“normally people would’ve thrown their sword and spit curse words by now”

he just shrugs, panting and rolling into a ball to rest

“hey get up, spread your arms out to open your lungs to take in more air” you kick at his side

and he groans and gets back up

god you were such an annoying know it all athena kid

and through out this entire class he hasn’t even spoke a single word to you

every week you guys have this class together and it’s the same routine

and honestly he gets better but of course with new weapons means a fresh start

one time, you guys stayed after class was over just to keep sparring

at a tired moment, you both lied down on the grass, watching the clouds move

“you know, i really hate this place” he sighs, this being one of the only times he ever talked first

“what really? why?” you’re shook because you loved this place

“i like my home, i miss my home, my flower shop, my dad, the city, it’s just so empty”

“man, lucky you” you sighed “you have somewhere to go back to”

and now hes shook

“hUH?”

you explained how your mom, athena, met your dad, a high rank military soldier at one of the bases

they fell in love of course but they only had each other, no other families within reach

so when your mom gave birth to you, she had no where to put you and your father refused adoption

at first, you mom had found a cousin of his, but they refused to raise you because you were too problematic

your mom had laid out many conditions and rules about you and they just couldn’t handle such responsibility

and her brother apollo already forsaw you’re future with them and lets just say its pretty dark

he would know i mean the dude is the sun god

“it must be nice huh? i don’t even know my dad, he doesn’t have time for me”

and it just clicked in his brain, he’s a brat

he couldn’t apprecirate what he already had

he still has his father, his home

and the next day you’ve never seen him so motivated during battle class

his sword swung so fast and you weren’t used to it

by the end of the first spar, you were panting

and you saw something you never thought you ever would

he was smirking

and you scoffed at his sudden confidence, unsure as to what sparked inside of him

dusting yourself off, you cleared your throat,

“you still need some work”

and you went back to sparring

you started to notice that he was smiling when you guys were getting ready for the next round

he would actually start conversations between battles and he was actually a pretty silly dude

he started finding motivation somehow, and it has something to do with you

at first he just wanted to defeat you and you’re know it all ass

but you started to realize that he’d always sit by you during the campfire (which he only recently started attending)

he also asked you about greek history and mythology

so you guys end up studying together as well

wow yall battlin with weapons and books

and you started getting sus

like is he into you ??????

but he really doesn’t show many signs otherwise

not much blushies or flusterness, just a lot of attachment

so maybe he just really saw you as a friend

did your heart just fall into your stomach ??

nO! cause you’re an athena kid ! you don’t fall for anyone psh !!!

aka you’re just repressing them feelings

too bad he actually likes you too

though he may be lookin like a blank rock

everytime you two are alone together (all the time) he’s gettin butterflies all over his stomach

like his tummy is a snowglobe of butterflies

and he thinks he’s sending signals by being with you and only you

but you’re a cold ice cube too so he doesn’t know how to approach this situation

and guys are just stuck

both too scared to say anything

and one time, jinyoung needs a break from all the book reading and wants to walk in the forest

you go with him reluctantly cause you love books

“god what a nerd”

“whatever flower boy”

and he’s walking ahead of you, blushing

why did that sound so cute to him? it just a simple name??

there’s a flower that you guys spot

and you’re like oh hey gardenias how pretty

“yea, you know they mean sweetness and purity?”

“no??? they mean secret love u idiot, some demeter child you are dafawk???”

and now he has his eyebrows raised

“my mom literally created the language of flowers, are you really gonna try arguing with me ??”

“books don’t lie sir”

and you both whip to look at each other

the eye contact is overwhelming, it’s lw hot, but also playful??? but you’re both ready to roast each other at the campfire

you guys can’t seem to form words with your thoughts though

you’re both kinda annoyed

not only with some tiny argument, but also those compressed feelings are rising

“why can’t you just admit things for once” he bursted before you could you first,

“you’re so stubborn for a boring demeter child”

“you’re the stubborn one”

“yea, but that’s expected of me”

“uuuUUuUUUuGGHhHHhHH yOU aRE sO aNno YinGGG, first, you have to lecture me nonstop, second you’re so self entitled, thirdly you such a annoying knowitall and lastly you’re still so vulnerable and I still have such a strong urge to care for you because you’re YOU. and i like YOU. oF ALL CAMPERS AND CHILD OF ALL THE GODS, YOU. sOME KNOWITALL ATHENA CHILD”

silence, silence so deadly that hades himself must’ve created it his face is as a red a tomato and all he can think about is running away and hiding underneath this sheets and screaming

and thats what happens suddenly he’s engulfed in a flower and sucked into the earth

for the first thirty seconds you’re speechless, unaware as to what just happened and then you scream

meanwhile, jinyoung sprouts out of a potted plant on his nightstand in his cabin he’s literally thrown out of the flower and rolls onto the floor, covered in petals

everyone is shook

“d-did y-you j-j-ju-just c-co-come ou-out of a fl-fLOWER???” euiwoong freaks out

and now everyone is screaming

“i-i can explain..” jinyoung is literally going to become a tomato

“but can someone go get y.n in the woods???????” he nervously chuckled

and the sound of your name gives him ptsd cause he literally just confessed to you

euiwoong takes you back to your dorm, you were no longer freaked at that point but just needed some serenity

euiwoong just explains that jinyoung can teleport through plants

“yea, no one has had that demeter power for a while, even we were shook"

you don’t ask to see him though, you just needed to recollect yourself

you couldn’t face him

you’re feelings were out of the roof now there’s no way you’d be able to look at him without getting nervous

and he’s curled up underneath his sheets, regretting everything he did that day

his siblings think hes untouchable now

like yo, he’s all mighty powerful and scary cold

now you guys are extremely awkward

he sees you run off to you siblings asap during weapons class

and he’s kinda hurt honestly

like you could’ve at least rejected him to his face, not full on ghost him

but at the same time he understood since he kinda abruptly said he like you, he probably surprised you

but he still couldn’t help but hear his heart cracking

and you’re not even trying to break his heart

you’re just too awkward, what an athena move

you can’t face you’re own feelings, and its okai, it's hard i feel

everytime jinyoung walks past your face turns red

when his name is brought up you kinda steer out of the conversation

and the only reason why his name keeps being brought up is because you’re siblings know and looooooooove making fun of you

even you’re quiet brother minhyun finds it amusing

they’d always find any reason to say his name, anytime anywhere

“ooh the strawberries are blooming is jINYOUNG piCkING THEM???

him and minhyun end up sitting next to each other in mythology

“oh, you’re jinyoung huh???” he’s making the connections

“you know me?” the younger asked, very quietly

“how could i not, you’re the talk of the talk in the athena cabin” (old dad terms wtf minhyun)

“oh cause y.n basically rejected me” he sighs “i get it, what a joke, can’t believe i thought i even had a shot”

and minhyun blinks his eyes in confusion

“she rejected you??????????” he scrunches his eyebrows

“well no, she kinda just left me hanging and ignores me now, so i have to assume it’s a rejection”

and he laughs

and jinyoung has math equations all around his head (you kno the meme)

“you guys were made for each other oh my lordy” he covered his mouth with one hand and the other patting the smaller one’s back “send her some flowers or something, i’ll deliver them”

and thats how you find gardenias on your bed, with a small note

‘secret love”

i see him have some pretty sloopy handwriting and you kinda smile at it

and you send one back with a simple note

‘secret love’

and he’s squishy and grinning to himself

kicking his bed sheets in excitement, trying to refrain from jumping around

his siblings are so done with him

and so during breakfast the next morning, he swings an arm around you

“hey you” he grinned

“jinyoung?????” you look up at him surprised

the entire athena cabin is staring in amusement

and he’s immediately back to being flustered

“jihoon said i should be smooth to impress you” he confessed, taking his arm back

and you laugh and he ends up giggling with you

everything is back to normal

ya’ll are the very quiet camp couple

but you guys can get pretty wild together

at the fireworks, you guys were pretty chill

just on a towel watching the fireworks in each others arms, unbothered

and everyone is like ‘awwwweeeewwew cuuuute”

but one time you guys were alone, just having your own picnic at the edge of the forest

you two were nonstop laughing

he would continuously make dumb faces at you

and the more you smile, the more he would too

and it becomes a reoccurring routine

where guys just sit outside

whether it be studying, reading, growing flowers, trying his new recipe for brownies, or just laying in silence

you were reading a book once, and suddenly a small flower grows in between your eyes and the book

and it tickles your nose

and your scrunching your nose at jinyoung and you both giggle

he finds you so adorable during these peaceful times

very unlike your uptight athena side

he has a habit of playing with your fingers

like you’re both on your way to the mess hall and he has one of your hands in his two hands and he’s playing with your fingers

not even like intertwining them

just folding them, pressing at the pads of your fingertips and joints, drawing little pictures on your palms

and you help him open up and the demeter cabin sees it

they re-welcome him as an official sibling and are genuine friends/siblings

imagine him taking you back to his hometown

he tours you around the big city and you’re so fascinated by the buildings

but then he even takes you to piers and beach that are like a bus stop away

and you’re just in awe

“they’re right next to each other ???? buildings AND oceans ???”

he’s overjoyed to see you appreciate the scenic views that he too fell for too

and plus he fell for you too

as much his dad wants you two enjoy your little couple vacation

one day he needs to do a huge delivery so he asks jinyoung to watch the store

and you’re much more excited than he was expecting cause he was feelin sorry

“babe i’m sorry we ha-”

“omg we get to run the flower shop??!?!???!!?!” you’re squealing and he’s blinking his eyes in confusion

it’s really chill though

he mostly handles all the buisness stuff while you just finish up your book next to him

“jinyoung, i haven’t seen you in so long !” a longtime mom/costumer would greet him

and in that moment you were talking to her 5 year old son, teaching him the meaning of certain flowers which you had learned from him

and you and her son start giggling and you give him one the flowers, sliding it on top of his ear, and hoped that jinyoung wouldn’t mind

“awe, you’re girlfriend seems very sweet” she would compliment

“yea, she’s definitely a keeper” he would blush, smiling and looking down at the register

if anyone was curious, the city i was basing jinyoung’s hometown was san francisco, ca in the u.s, mainly downtown sf and the ferry building + piers :-))

and sorry i took so long, thnks 4 being patient w/ me !!!

max, johnny, and the future (bmw 7)

bullymagnet week, day seven: older

read day one, day two, day three, day four, day five, and day six first. also available on AO3.

Johnny got over beating up nerds a few years ago, but he’s never quite left the habit of terrorizing innocents behind. Max, balancing on the handlebars of his boyfriend’s parked bike, sighs as he watches him leer menacingly at two freshman.

“It’s really not fair of you to be their first impression of high school,” he comments when Johnny finally finishes up his conversation. “They’re gonna have nightmares tonight, yanno.”

“I was givin’ them valuable advice ‘n life guidance,” Johnny retorts, shoving Max in the middle of his chest. He wobbles, but doesn’t quite fall. “Also directions to the science lab.”

“If that’s even remotely true, you wouldn’t have done that thing with your face.” Johnny scowls at him, that crazy-eyed snarl only he can pull off. It’s by far not the most frightening expression he can make, but it sure is disconcerting. “Yeah, that right there.”

Johnny yanks him by the shirt this time, his brute strength overpowering Max’s anyday. He tumbles down, but refuses to hit the ground, just latching on to Johnny’s side and clinging. Undignified, maybe, but it gets Johnny to crack a smile for the first time all day, so hey.

“Get off me ya circus freak,” Johnny laughs, and Max tightens his grip.

“No way, the floor’s lava. Carry me to class, would you?”

“I’m gonna be lava ‘f you don’t let go,” Johnny grumbles, but his body doesn’t actually heat up and he starts to walk. They get a few weird looks on the way into the school building, but mostly only from the new students; this isn’t the first time this has happened by a long shot.

Of course, there’s a method to Max’s madness – for all his complaining, Johnny clearly adores when Max clambers all over him. He loves physical contact a ridiculous amount, in general. He pretty much will crawl into everyone’s lap during movie nights, he regularly greets people by hanging on them, he likes to high five and hug and hold hands and just, cuddle. With Max in particular, all of this is doubled if not tripled, with the bonus addition of his getting really embarrassed whenever he’s called out on it. He’s like, super into PDA, and also very scandalized by the thought of it when he actually realizes what he’s doing. It’s genuinely adorable.

And, sure enough, the clinging does the trick for at least the time being: Johnny’s scowl melts away, replaced by that hilariously equal split of obnoxiously proud yet blushy he gets whenever Max does this in public. Max is well aware this is far from a permanent fix, but Johnny’s been moody for several days now without explanation and it’s getting to the point where he’s legitimately bothered about it.

They don’t share a homeroom this year, so Max is expecting Johnny to shake him off at some point, but instead he delivers Max all the way inside his room, drops him on top of his desk, and then kind of just hovers there for a second with his hands on Max’s hips, watching him.

“Hey, you okay?” Max asks quietly. The smile he receives in response is truly angelic, in the way that only Johnny’s fake ones ever are. Years of staring in fascination at his boyfriend’s elastic face have given Max a very thorough comprehension of his expressions, and Johnny only ever smiles with his mouth closed when he doesn’t mean it. When he’s actually happy, he exposes his freaky medium sharkteeth in this huge manic grin that’s just, really impossible not to smile back at.

“When’m I ever not,” Johnny scoffs.

“Are you my teacher?” Max scoffs right back. “Don’t test me.”

Johnny’s teeth peek out at one corner in a half-grin, and without warning he drops his forehead down to Max’s. He closes his eyes and sighs.

Overcome by a wave of concerned fondness, Max kisses his nose.

“HYAGN,” Johnny yelps, leaping a foot straight back and going bright red. He stage-whispers, “Stop this is school.”

The rest of the class don’t even bother looking their way.

“You’re gonna have to tell me what’s up sometime,” Max threatens pleasantly. “I’m not above making out in the middle of lunch.”

“I tolja I’m peachy!” Johnny snaps back, retreating fast in the face of such a prospect. In the doorway, he hesitates. “But uh unrelated I got somethin’ to ask ya after school so consider yourself bookmarked.”

“That’s not h-” The door slams shut behind as Johnny bolts into the hallway. Sighing, Max slides down into his chair.

He’s a little scared about what this could be.

It’s not that he really thinks Johnny is going to break up with him. For all his numerous flaws, Johnny is marvelously talented at making people feel loved and appreciated when he wants to. Watching him interact with his gang was kind of the reason Max started to crush on him in the first place, and seeing his growing relationships with the Activity Club didn’t help. He actually realized he was a goner because of Johnny giving him comic books he wanted Max to pass along to PJ – once Johnny actually really likes a person, he pretty much constantly goes out of his way to make them happy, and never even considers it as especially thoughtful or special.

So Max, who has been the recipient of Johnny’s extremely intense if awkward devotion since seventh grade, pretty much never feels unwanted. It’s really, really nice, to be so secure in the fact that your boyfriend loves you even if he’s never actually said the words. Max is pretty sure he’s tried to, a couple times, but knowing Johnny it’ll be another three years before he hears them all said at once in the right order. He could probably speed up the process if he said them first, but he’s not exactly all that much better at this, so he’d kind of rather just let Johnny tackle that hurdle first. It’d be way preferable to just casually say, ‘yeah, me too’ back when the time comes.

Anyway, the point is that he doesn’t need the words to know… but, at the same time, somehow despite all of Johnny’s extremely effective affection, Max manages to have doubts popping up on the regular. He doesn’t actually believe any of them, when he stops to think, but sometimes it’s hard to trust in the better thing. It kind of goes against his whole nature, really. Max is so used to being the cynical pessimist that just being happy feels like he’s massively beating the odds, and whenever any hint of trouble on the horizon crops up he gets anxious.

He never talks about those nerves, mostly because Johnny would take them as a personal failure when it’s really nothing to do with him. It’s all Max’s, and he knows it, and he tries not to let it sabotage him anymore. He already messed things up for like two years just by being oblivious and then doubting what was painfully clear to everyone else in the world until Johnny finally confronted him with a demand for a date that Max knew was a date. And yeah, that whole conversation was very romantic and all, and his fourteen year old self swooned for like a week straight over it (not that he’d admitted it), but he’d rather not have such grand gestures be necessary again, not when he apparently broke Johnny’s tweenage heart a couple of times before he got so fed up. So he tries real hard not to spend all day thinking that Johnny wants to break up with him. He reminds himself of the many and varied ways Johnny has no chill about loving him, that Stephen at least would never have been able to keep something like that hidden from Max, refrains from making out in the middle of lunch but does lean a little heavier than usual into Johnny’s side and enjoys the automatic way his boyfriend supports him and starts feeding Max his French fries without even pausing in his conversation with Stephen and Ed, doodles in his afternoon classes and thinks about Johnny’s snaggly smile.

None of it quite does the trick, but Max’s got himself pretty much under control all the way up until school lets out and Johnny meets him at his locker, looking genuinely nervous himself.

They gather up their stuff and head out, wandering off the road and into the woods about halfway home. Johnny knows his way around every inch of Mayview, maybe especially the wild parts, so getting lost isn’t a concern. What is concerning is the way Johnny hasn’t looked at him in fifteen minutes, his grip on Max’s hand verging on painfully hot.

“You ready to fess up yet?” Max asks once all he can hear is their feet crunching through the leaves. There are a few owlish spirits in the branches above them, but otherwise he and Johnny are completely alone. “What’s taking up all the space in that puny brain of yours?”

“I’m gonna punch you.”

“Wow, real estate must really be lacking if that’s all the thinking you can take.”

Johnny lets go of his hand to punch Max in the arm. Max dodges. They hold hands again and keep walking.

“’S just… my uh, guidance counselor was askin’ me about college plans,” Johnny mumbles. “An’, um, I wanna y’know tell you about it and stuff.”

“Okay, so tell me,” Max says.

“I… I wanna be a teacher,” Johnny declares. Max turns to stare at him; he flushes, and rushes out, “like, little puny kids, like six or seven or eight or whatever. Y’know, when they’re still a good size to just pick up and throw an’ all, and… um… I don’t have to know too much complicated stuff so I think I could prob’ly do it –”

“Oh god,” Max says. “You’re going to get them all worshipping you.”

“Huh?”

“Yeah, I can see it.” He really can; Johnny grinning terrifically behind twenty or so equally hyper kids, god probably at least half of them are gonna have dyed red hair and want to punch their way through all their problems, he can see it so well. “You’re going to be terrifying.”

“Issat. Uh, good?” Johnny asks in this very small voice, and Max is pretty sure his heart physically wrings itself out in his chest.

“Yes, you doofus,” he laughs, “Johnny, you’re so good with kids. That’s perfect.”

Weirdly, Johnny doesn’t look very relieved. He doesn’t stop walking when Max tries to either, just clinging onto his hand and tromping along through the leaves.

“Well, good,” he sighs. “But Ollie’s, y’know, going off to win the Nobel Prize and whatever, and I was thinkin’ ‘bout you.”

“Me?”

“Leaving,” Johnny says very bluntly. It takes a few seconds for Max’s brain to even process the word, because. Because the idea of Johnny, confident down to his core Johnny having any doubt about Max is stunning, and impossible, and he feels incredibly guilty that he could’ve ever let it happen, and – what.

“I’m not leaving,” Max says, uselessly. He feels like it’s probably time to stop walking around aimlessly and continue this conversation face to face, so he turns to his boyfriend and grabs his other hand too. “I mean, I don’t know what I’m gonna do, but I’m not–”

“Fixed the Ghost Train,” Johnny says, head tucked down. “You can, ‘f you want. That’s fine.”

“…Say what?”

“I, jus’.” Johnny looks up finally, and, oh. That’s… his face is bright red, and sure that happens fairly regularly, but this is a whole nother level, Max is pretty sure he can feel heat waves. He’s pretty sure he could literally fry an egg off this blush. But still, Johnny’s eyes are focused right on his, and his words are firm when he says, “Go wherever ya want. Just come back here.”

“Johnny,” Max says. He’s been burned before, literally, so he doesn’t touch his boyfriend’s face even though he wants to, just grabs his hands a little tighter and leans in closer and, what the hell, they’ve just barely started senior year.

“I’m prob’ly gonna buy us a house,” Johnny announces a second later. “Also.”

Max is dying here.

“J-Johnny,” he manages, after about two full minutes of strangled nonsense, “we’re seventeen, what– ”

“You’re fine with it though right?” Johnny demands.

“I – I mean I guess, sure, that’s. Yeah.” Max’s everything is on autopilot right now, he can’t function at all, he really wants Johnny’s face to cool down so he can smack it and also kiss it a lot. “Y-you realize you’re basically proposing right now?”

“Don’t hafta get married to live together,” Johnny huffs, in a voice Max recognizes as ‘quoting from Stephen’ – “Marriage is a government scam an’ tool of the patriarchy, anyway.”

He hesitates.

“But I mean if yo-”

“STOP,” Max shouts, flinging all caution to the wind as he slams both hands over Johnny’s mouth, “oh my god don’t say anything else, don’t actually propose to me.”

Johnny’s brows knit together.

“’Mnoff,” he denies. Max still doesn’t feel like it’s safe to let go.

His heart is beating so fast he can feel it bouncing off his ribs. He feels hypersensitive to everything: the slight breeze in the air, the far-off whisper of dry leaves sliding across the ground, the uncomfortable warmth of Johnny’s mouth under his hands.

“You haven’t even said ‘I love you’ yet, but you’re planning to buy a house,” Max wonders out loud. “Y-you’re incredible.”

“Thanks, love you too,” Johnny snarks back, shoving Max’s arm off his face and also shattering every last bit of composure left in him (and also, stealing his line).

“I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU JOHNNY,” he shouts, grabbing him by the collar and just shaking him. It does disappointingly little good. “I don’t even know what I want to do! I’m not legal for, like, anything right now! I can’t be expected to be making major life decisions at this stage!”

“…’Kay,” Johnny mumbles.

“T-that wasn’t a no. I mean, sure, after my hypothetical out-of-town college life I’ll move into your theoretical future house paid for with an elementary teacher’s imaginary salary, but, Johnny, why?”

“Apartment wouldn’t have enough room for m’ true hearts foreverboys, and whoever. Plus I wanna cat and a dog.” He says it in a combative kind of way, like the mere prospect of one person owning both is groundbreaking and more than a little scandalizing.

“Not what I meant, but, fair enough.”

“I mean, I get it,” Johnny scrubs a hand behind his head, shrugging. “Yeah, it’s really early and stuff, but. I just wanted you to know I’m uh, I’m thinking about it.”

This is more than Max can physically take.

“Well I am too now,” he grumbles, reaching up and fanning Johnny’s cheeks. It takes a second, but the heat starts to fade as he catches on, though they remain flushed. Max puts his hands on them, tilting in until their foreheads are touching. “And yeah, sounds good. I just can’t believe you’re planning something.”

“Shaddup I’ll punchya boi,” Johnny says.

Max kisses him.

“You’re a huge weirdo,” he says, after breaking away. Then, self-recriminating: “I’m even worse for liking it.”

“Heheh,” Johnny snickers. “Thanks.”

“That wasn’t a compliment–”

“Kinda was.”

“Stop,” but Max knows he’s grinning, wide and manic to match Johnny’s stupid pointy smile, knows he doesn’t actually want Johnny to ever stop really (even if in this moment, yes, he needs to quit), knows he’s just as in love as Johnny is, knows now much to his surprise that at some point in the next five to seven years they will be living in a house together. RJ in their basement recording death metal, most likely, and a cat and dog with no doubt either a very combative or codependently close relationship, and Max will be doing [redacted] while Johnny is molding the minds of young Mayview children, lord help them.

How the hell is he gonna be the resident cynic now.
