I won’t ask you to wait if you don’t ask me to stay (Xavier Thorpe x f!reader)
Tumblr media
Masterlist
Pairing: Xavier Thorpe x f!reader
Word count: 1k
Summary: There was one thing Xavier truly despise and that was you...so why does he feel bad when he sees you cry?
Warning: Enemies to lovers, but mostly for Xavier because you are a sweetheart and who could ever hate you?
A/N: At this point, my blog became a huge love appreciation for this little baby (and for Namor as well)
Coments, Reblogs and Asks are happily received! I love to read your lovely coments :)
Tumblr media
There’s some things Xavier truly despise about you, the way you always seem to know the answer to whatever question the professor asks, the way you always have that smirk on your face when you ace another exam, the way you never shut up or when you never take off the gloves on your hands, and the list could go and go and go.
So when the rumor about that normie that asked you on a date, he knew that was another reason to hated you.
Xavier couldn’t help to think that your ego was really high and even if you were a bit secretive about your personal affairs, the whole school loved to talk about you. I guess that was another fact of his hatred.
The fair had arrived a bit earlier this month and the school was happily giving passes to every student so they could go and enjoy it. It was Ajax the one who persuade him into going, but in reality he didn’t want to. He just wanted to go into his shed, close the door, put some music and enjoy the small quiet space while he painted.
But now he was sitting on one of the benches, cotton candy on one hand, a corndog on the other and a sour face. He was clearly enjoying this. Xavier sighed as he just wanted to do anything else than being here.
“Dude, dude, dude!” Ajax pushed him a bit as he sat on the bench. “Guess what I just saw?”
Xavier couldn’t help but sigh again. “What.”
“Remember the normie that asked (L/N) out on a date?” Ajax was getting so giddy with the story that Xavier decided to ignore him but nodded anyway. “Well, the guy never show up! She’s been there sitting all alone and creepy, isn’t it awesome?” He raised his hand and Xavier stared at it. Ajax moved it a bit. “Dude, high-five?”
Xavier frowned, “What?”
“Yeah dude, this is like your chance to go and laugh about it!” Ajax grabbed the corndog and the cotton candy. “Go, go.”
Xavier quickly stood up and began walking towards your location and he saw you there, sitting all alone. He sighed, placing his hands on his pockets and walked a bit slower. He stood next to you and stayed quiet.
“If you came here to make a joke, let me tell you that you are a bit late, the others already came to laugh about it.” You stared at your hands, not really having the strength to look at him. “Sorry.”
“You think I came here for that?” Xavier asked you, he was a little bit offended but when you turned to face him, whatever he was feeling just disappeared at how distraught you were. “Move.” His hand gently pushed you to make room for him.
You huffed but kept quiet, you began tapping the table with your fingers, trying your hardest to kept your cool. “Ajax told you?” You murmured.
Xavier nodded, placing his hands on the table and interwinding his fingers. “Did he show up?” He gently asked you.
You bit your lip and shook your head. “In a way.” Your voice wabbling a bit. Your hand quickly went into your purse, got your phone and unlocked. You put it on the table. “Took a photo and left.”
Xavier grabbed the phone and the anger he was feeling got bigger, he bit his cheek to refrain himself to curse in front of you.
There it was, a simple photo of you sitting here, waiting.
‘SIKE! Good luck next time freek!’
“He didn’t even spell freak right.” You laughed but Xavier could hear the tears burning on your throat. “Stupid right?”
“C’mon, grab your things.” He gave you your phone back and stood up, watching you.
“What?”
“C’mon, there’s a convenient store closer, it’s a bit of a walk but it’s close.” His hands went quickly into the pockets of his jacket, his head nodding to the side. “C’mon.”
You sighed. “What are you doing Xavier?” But still stood up anyway.
“I just told you, I’m hungry so let’s go.”
You sighed again and began following him, the walk was quiet as neither one of you were too comfortable to be in each other presence. Xavier glance at your direction, noticing how you were trembling for a bit. I mean it was quite obvious, you weren’t dressed for the cold but he understood, you wanted to make an impression. But you didn’t need to. He thought.
“You cold?” He broke the silence, you turned to face him but shook your head.
“Uh, no.” You paused. “I’m fine.”
“Liar.” He shook off his jacket, he felt the cold but he didn’t care. His hand offering you his jacket, you stared at it and gently took it. Your gloved hands quickly putting it on. “Why the gloves?” He was curious.
“So I don’t accidently touch anyone.” You whispered, your eyes on your hands. “Um, principal Weems gave them to me after my parents transferred me here, after the accident.”
“Accident?” Xavier began wondering if he truly knew you if he ignored the rumors.
You nodded. “Um, a guy kissed me on my other school but he kinda…just…died, so that’s why the gloves.”
Xavier then realized that you actually never have a group on your own to just hang out, you were always alone and the reason wasn’t that you thought superior. You just didn’t want to touch the others. “I um, I make things come to life, mostly my paintings.”
You softly smiled at him. “Yeah, I know, um, my first day you made a cat spook me after I left principal Weems’s office.”
He smiled. “Kinda awesome, don’t you think?” And you nodded, still smiling and he smiled back.
“So,” You started, this is the first time he was talking to you and you didn’t want to fuck it up. “What are you going to buy?”
“Kinda craving some ramen.” He shrugged. “Wanna share?”
“Oh.” You paused. “Really?”
“Yeah, why not?”
“Well, um.” You hesitated. “I don’t…”
“We are sharing.” He bumped your shoulders with his and you froze, stopping completely. “You okey?”
You stared at Xavier and waited for him to just drop dead.
He didn’t.
“Yeah.” You sighed in relief. “Totally,”
Xavier offered you a smile and nodded back to the road. “Cool.”

AGREEED i love jealous xavier too 👀 what about ajax tired of his bff being tormented around reader that he pretends he has a crush on her so xavier would make a move on her faster
-🍓
There you sat, cross-legged as you took a bite of your breakfast. Xavier eyed the way you body gently rises as you took in a fresh breath. He watched as you graciously greeted your friends. He noticed how your hair fell almost too flawlessly on your school blazer and you, as usual, played with the ends of it.
"You know, now that I'm really looking at her... she's kinda sexy," Ajax muses. Xavier shifts his gaze from your seated body across the quad to his best friends sitting beside him. It wasn’t like Ajax didn’t know how bad Xavier drooled at the mere thought of you. The gorgon was becoming irritated, hearing and seeing Xavier nearly fall at his feet for you but never doing anything about it. Hell, it wasn't even 8:00 a.m yet, and Xavier already seemed to be in a trance. Ajax noticed his best friend tense up, but Xavier brushed aside his comment. Ajax had him exactly where he wanted him. But to Xavier’s dismay, that wasn’t the last of it.
“She acts all innocent but I’d bet fifty bucks she’s into some kinky shit.” The beanie-wearing boy and the tortured artist sat there and watched you laugh innocently at something Enid said. They watched as you batted your eyelashes and leaned forward, your skirt riding up your thigh.
“Shut up dude,” Xavier said through gritted teeth. He was now tapping his fingers furiously and clenching his jaw to the point of nearly snapping. Ajax realized he was getting to him and still pushed further.
“Shit, if you don’t make a move, I might-”
Xavier jerked up before Ajax finished his sentence, nearly spilling his half-eaten breakfast. He didn’t want to hear it. He couldn’t hear it. The very thought of Ajax getting to you first drove him insane. You were his, even if you didn't even know it yet. Xavier glared at Ajax, who was now fighting back a mischievious grin.
“Y/N” Xavier zeroes in on you, his voice persistent, but hesitant with the impending question. “hey, can we talk?” Xavier interrupted your groups conversation while shoving his hands deep into his sweaters pockets. You were taken aback, but flashed your sweet smile like you always did. The one that made xavier melt each time. When he noticed your friends were paying close attention to the words that were about to depart his lips, he pulled you further away. Away from prying eyes.
“What’s going on?” You inquired. Your expression of worry caused his heart to swell.
“Do you uh. . .” When it finally dawned on him that he was speaking to you, he became a bundle of nerves. As he danced around his words, a small bead of sweat formed on his brow. You stood in front of him with your warm eyes and rosy cheeks, and a worried look plastered on your face. His knees practically buckled. "Would you want to uhm maybe. . . have a coffee some time? With-with me.”
Your sweet smile grew larger, which he didn’t know was even possible, and your rosy cheeks turned into a shade of crimson. “Is Thorpe asking me out on a date?”
“Ye-ah, I mean if, if that’s what you want to call it. If not, it’s cool. I don't want to make you uncomfor-"
"I'd love to go on a date with you, Thorpe."
Ajax’s jaw was left hanging and to say he was speechless would be an understatement. He knew it would drive Xavier crazy, but he never imagined it’d drive him to the point of asking you out. If he had known that, he would have tormented his best friend ages ago.

Ajax Petropolus x reader
Summary: you're one of the most popular students at nevermore. You're best friends with Bianca, Yoko(whom is also your roommate), Divina and Kent. However, you are dating Ajax Petropolus, who is shy and quiet, totally not the kind of person you normally surround yourself with. To keep your popularity, you keep your relationship with Ajax a secret. He was fine with that at the beginning, but now he wants to tell people.
Tumblr media
You were stood with your best friends, Bianca, Kent, Yoko and Divina, at the fountain, talking about whatever. You had been dating Ajax Petropolus for 3 months now, however, none of your friends knew. You're one of the most popular students at nevermore, Ajax isn't. While you love Ajax, he just doesn't fit your persona. He had agreed to keep your relationship a secret because he wants to be with you, but maybe he wants more.
Ajax POV
I just stared at her. She is so beautiful, I want to go up to her and kiss her right now. But I can't do that cuz I'm not cool enough to be her boyfriend publicly.
3 months ago I thought I was making the right decision when I said we could keep it a secret, but it's killing me. Not even my friends know, and I hate lying to them.
"Ajax! Dude!" Xavier shouted at me, hitting me around the head, "You listening?"
"Of course he's not," Spoke Enid, "He's to busy staring at Y/N" She teased.
"I wasn't staring," I whisper, looking at the table, "I was glancing."
"Dude, you're totally in love with her."
"Go away," I turn to Wednesday hoping she will jump in and change the topic.
"Why don't you ask her out?" Enid exclaims.
"Yeah, take her into Jericho this weekend!" Xavier agrees.
"Guys, can we drop this?" I say. If we continue talking about Y/N I'm gonna tell them everything and she'll be pissed at me.
"Fine," Enid finally backs down, "So, Poe Cup is coming up,"
I stop listening to what their all talking about now. I need to talk to Y/N. I can't keep hiding this anymore.
Normal POV
You were sat in your dorm with Yoko when you got a text from Ajax,
'I'm coming over, we need to talk'
You were confused to say the least. Your relationship was perfect, what could he possibly need to talk to you about.
"Hey, you okay?" Yoko asked when you didn't respond.
"Yeah, fine. Umm, Yoko, Can I cash in one of my 'need you to leave the dorm' tickets."
"Yeah, I'll just go hang with Divina. Was that text really that bad."
"Yeah. Thanks by the way," You say as Yoko grabs a couple things before leaving.
"Sure, Don't worry about it."
...
10 minuets after Yoko left, you here a knock at your door. You get up and open it, and by no surprise Ajax is stood there looking the most stressed ever. He didn't wait for you to let him in, he just walked past you over to your bed.
"A 'hello' would be nice" You say, sarcastically.
"We need to talk."
"Yeah, about what? Everything is fine."
"No it's not!" Ajax had never yelled at you before, it took you by surprise.
"Don't shout at me. Let's talk this through." You walk over to your bed and sit down, encouraging Ajax to do the same.
Ajax sits and puts his head in his hands.
"I want to tell people about us. I want to tell my friends that I'm dating the most beautiful girl in school. I want to stop lying to people. I want to stop feeling like my own girlfriend is embarrassed by me."
You sit in shock at the small outburst. Ajax was a very laid back guy, he would just go with the flow, so these sudden demands of your relationship was a surprise.
"Babe-"
"No! No no no no" Ajax lifted his head from his hands and it was obvious he was crying. "We're not doing the whole 'we'll tell them soon, just give it time' spiel. I'm done waiting. Either we tell them tomorrow morning at breakfast or we break up 'cause it feels like I mean nothing to you. Every time I see you in the quad I always look at you in hope of you acknowledging me, but you don't. Then I have to act like nothing's going on between us when Xavier or Enid says something. It's not fair Y/N. I don't want to keep hiding us. I deserve better. I deserve someone who isn't embarrassed to be seen with me. After I texted you, how long did it take for you to tell Yoko to leave?"
"Ajax I-"
"How long Y/N?"
"Almost immediately" You whisper, embarrassed.
"Y/N, do you really want to be with me?"
"Yes. Yes, of course I do."
"Then start acting like it 'cause I'm not waiting forever."
"We'll tell everyone tomorrow, I promise."
...
The next morning, when you and Yoko left your dorm to walk down to breakfast to meet up with Bianca, Kent and Divina, Ajax made a surprise visit. He was stood outside your dorm waiting for you. When you walked out the door he wrapped his hands around your waist, "Hey, babe."
You got very nervous as you still hadn't told Yoko about you and Ajax, "Hey" You said and kissed him on the cheek.
"So this is the mystery man I had to keep leaving the dorm for." Yoko chuckled, "Not who I expected, but better than what I thought."
"Who did you think I was dating?" You asked, curious.
"Bianca, Divina and I thought you and Kent were hooking up. But this is way better."
"Is that why Divina's been pissed at me recently?"
"Yeah, but she'll be happy you're not fucking her brother."
"We going to breakfast then?" Ajax said.
"Yeah, let's go" You said.
The walk to breakfast was better than you had anticipated. When you walked into the quad to find Bianca, Divina and Kent all eyes turned to you and Ajax holding hands. You guessed Yoko had messaged Bianca on the way down as your normal table was pulled over to make one big table with Xavier, Enid and Wednesday.
You walked over, Yoko going to the other side of the table to sit next to Divina, and of course Bianca had to say something, "Well hello lovebirds!" she semi-shouted as you sat down next to her, Ajax next to Xavier.
"Fuck off." You said, jokingly.
"Morning." Divina said, with the biggest smile you had ever seen.
"You look happy." You teased, laughing.
"I'm very happy." Divina replied.
"SO HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON THEN!?!" Enid yelled in excitement, "'Cause if I'm not mistaken, just yesterday Ajax was seriously pining over Y/N?!"
"We've been going out for 3 months now." Ajax said, a smile covering his entire face.
"THREE! THREE WHOLE MONTHS AND I HAD NO CLUE!" Enid shouted again
"Enid, can you be quieter, soon only dogs will be able to here you." Wednesday said in her same monotone voice.
"Sorry." Enid whispered.
You all eat breakfast and talked until you had to go to class.
Every morning from now on, Ajax would meet you at your dorm and you, him and Yoko would walk to breakfast together, and the tables were always pushed together for you all to sit together. You couldn't be happier, telling everyone was the best decision you had ever made.

Sup rogue and im back with another request! Tho for now its just gonna be a vanilla wednesday req, no additional power lore added
Wednesday x Reader
One of the students pranked wednesday by somehow slipping a potion that makes you de-age back into a child for a couple of days and Reader and Enid just takes care of her while she is in this state.
Got this inspiration with this pic
Tumblr media
Wednesday x Reader
"Enid! Y/N!"
The two of you are in the quad when you turn to see an out of breath Xavier and Ajax. The two of them immediately grab your arms to try and pull you somewhere.
"Whoa, what's going on?" You ask, stunned by their urgency. "Hey, cool your jets."
Xavier whirls around with wide eyes. "Someone decided to pull a prank on Wednesday and... You just gotta see this."
When you all enter the classroom where Wednesday was, you're greeted by a peculiar sight. Three boys were huddled in the corner on top of a table. The look on in fear as a small child with dark pigtails stands with a knife in her hands.
"What in the..." You manage to get out. The boys' eyes dart over to you and you can see the sheer terror in them.
"Dude, tell her to back off. It was just a joke." One cries.
"It'll wear off in a couple days. We're sorry, please let us go." Another sobs.
The last boy just trembles between the two. You almost feel sorry for them if it wasn't for the fact that they were dumb enough to mess with Wednesday.
Speaking of, you glance at the small child, who was now looking at you with dead eyes. The knife in her hands was nearly the size of her whole arm. Somehow, her uniform reverted to her childhood black dress, which you've only seen in photos. You look at her eyes again and you catch it. The child-like mirth in them from causing pain and torture. You knew how to handle teenage Wednesday. Let's see if you can handle the child version.
"Wednesday," you started, kneeling down to her level. " How long do you intend on playing with those boys?"
The young goth just gives a creepy smile. "Until I'm bored. It's fun to scare them." Her voice throws you off a bit, but little Wednesday wasn't too far off from her older self. Just a little less restraint on her actions. Enid steps up and tries to help.
"Uh... It's really no fun to just stand there. How about we go and play somewhere else?" While the wolf was normally great with kids, she didn't know what to expect at all with her kiddy roommate. Wednesday just ignores her to stare at the trembling boys, tapping her knife on the floor threateningly.
You lean towards Enid and whisper, "This IS fun for her..." The blonde just sighs.
"Why don't you just grab her and pick her up?"
Everyone just turns to look at Ajax. Suddenly self conscious of his suggestion, he just shrugs. You, Enid and Xavier just point to the girl and say "Knife."
"Oh, right."
You sit on the floor and think for a bit before snapping your fingers. "Oh! Thing could help us out. He should know how young Wednesday operates."
Enid jumps in agreement and goes to find him. You in turn move to sit behind Wednesday, joining her in staring menacingly at the pranksters. She glances at you before turning back to her task.
"Dude, what're you doing??"
You give them a sly grin. "I mean, you had it coming, so I'm just joining the fun."
"Duuuuude...."
Enid comes back with Thing in tow, much to the relief of the boys. He scurries over and taps a few times towards Wednesday.
"But I don't want to leave. I'm having fun with Y/N here."
He taps another few times, causing the tiny goth to look at you.
"You'll be with me all day?" Those words made your heart swell.
"Death Heart, I'll be with you for as long as you want me to."
You can see a small upturn of Wednesday's lips and she drops her knife. She wraps her arms around your neck and you pick her up. Turning to the pranksters, you give a smirk.
"You'll be okay for now. Can't say how you'll be when this wears off."
They run off, tripping over each other and you take Wednesday back to her room with Enid and Thing in tow. Xavier and Ajax just sigh, glad to not have to deal with the situation.
-----+++++-----
You had informed Principal Weems about the situation. It would've been near impossible to convince her if you didn't have a tiny Wednesday in your arms. The older woman just ran her hand over her face and took the names of the bullies before sending you off with permission to skip classes for a few days.
Now in Wednesday's and Enid's room, you and the blonde were figuring out ways to entertain the little girl. So far, she was wandering the room with new eyes, taking stock of her side. Thing followed her around, keeping an eye on her. He tapped for a bit, as if thinking before snapping his fingers and scurrying to the crystal ball on the table. He gave it a slight wave then drums his fingers impatiently.
"What are you doing?" You ask the hand as you walked up. Answering your question, you see Wednesday's mother, Morticia, appear on the sphere.
"Oh? What a surprise. I wasn't expecting a call, let alone from you two." It seemed like a pleasant surprise for her. "What's going on? Is something wrong?"
You were about to pipe up, only to be interrupted by a tiny goth wanting your attention. The girl tugs at your sleeve and you pick her up into Morticia's view.
"Oh dear. I see what's wrong now." While a worried look graces her face, there's a fond nostalgia that accents it. "Tell me what happened."
Wednesday hangs out in your arms as you explain the situation. She's as still as a doll as she watches her mother's reactions. The warmth you emanate almost lulls her to sleep as you finish and she jolts awake at the sound of her mother's voice.
"I see. Thankfully, I am familiar with this potion and those boys are correct. It will take a few days, but it should naturally filter out of her system." You nod in response. "I do hope she'll stay out of trouble in the meantime." Morticia looks pointedly at Wednesday and the small girl just smirks in response.
"We'll do our best, ma'am."
You hang up the... crystal ball and turn your attention to the child in your arms. There's an edge of affection in her dark eyes and you just know that you're wrapped around her little fingers.
"Looks like we'll just have to deal with this until it wears off."
-----+++++-----
A few days have passed and poor Enid was at her wits end. There were several plushie casualties before you managed to head to Uriah's Heap to get a few dolls for Wednesday to play with. The blonde ended up just letting you take the reins on caring for the small child with the caveat that you made sure she didn't lose anymore of her stuffed animals. It was easy enough for you to do, especially with Thing there to help.
Now, you were sitting on the floor with Wednesday, building a miniature guillotine that her parents sent over for her. This was something you never thought you'd do in your lifetime, but it definitely was fun to see how excited Wednesday was about the whole thing.
"Now we make sure the blade is sharp enough before we attach it." She hands you a whetstone with a sparkle in her eyes. "Can you do it for me? I don't have the strength to do it right now."
"Of course." you take the stone from her and set yourself up. Taking a quick assessment of the blade, you glide its edge along the stone. A sharp 'shing' could be heard each time you draw it across. With another cursory look, you pluck a strand of hair from your head and hand it to Wednesday. She holds it above the blade and lets it fall.
it splits as soon as it touches the edge.
With a wide smile, the small girl pulls you to attach the blade to the guillotine. As you did that, she sets up one of her dolls in the stock and rests its head on it. As soon as you were done, you nod to the girl.
"Ready?"
Without missing a beat, Wednesday hits the lever and the blade falls, chopping off the doll's head with a smooth cut. She claps her hands excitedly. Upon the last clap, however, a puff of smoke surrounds the child. It drives you into a panic until it dissipates, revealing Wednesday back in her teenage form.
"Oh good. You're okay." You lean close to try and assess her condition. "No side effects? Still wanna torture those guys?"
The goth stands and checks over herself before nodding. "All seems well. Back to normal." Her eyes turn to you and she lets out a frustrated sigh. "... Thank you for taking care of me while I was... Indisposed."
"No problem," you reply with a shrug. "And I won't mention it. You might have to bribe Enid with more plushies though."
"She has more than enough... But I'll acquiesce, I suppose. An apology for my childish impulses."
With a nod, you get to your feet. "I'll help out with that." You let out a stretch and a groan. "For now, are you hungry or do you wanna find those guys and make 'em pay?"
Wednesday just walks up to you and pulls you into a quick, but heated kiss. "A date will suffice for now. I haven't been able to properly enjoy our time together for a few days."
The kiss left you baffled, but a dopey smile appeared on your face. "Yeah, I missed you too."

Once Upon A Dream
Masterlist
Pairing: Xavier Thorpe x Hispanic!Reader
Summary: Xavier has been having dreams about a certain girl for days and he finally got to meet her in person
Warning: the reader is a seer, they have visions whenever they touch something with supernatural energy, not like Wednesday
A/N: based off the Disney song from Sleeping Beauty because I LOVE that song.
Another night, another dream about the same girl. Her flowing hair and kind eyes plagued his thoughts. His latest paintings were about the girl. He has no idea who she is, he has never seen her in Nevermore or in Jericho in passing. Maybe it was a figment of his imagination, that he is tired of being single after breaking up with Bianca and striking out with Wednesday. Whatever the reason is, he wants these dreams to stop.
The next morning, Xavier was talking with Ajax at breakfast. “Dude, you’ll never guess what I learned in history class.” Ajax started, Xavier just started at him.
“What could you have possibly learned that Can make you so excited?” Xavier asked him, taking a bite of his food.
“Well for starters, it could help you! So we were talking about the history of psychics and there was a section about the ones who have visions through their dreams, that’s you. Apparently, if you have a dream about the same person multiple nights in a row, it is a possibility that you two are bonded, making them your soulmate, and that you will meet them soon.” Ajax explained. Xavier was moving his mouth without saying anything, looking like a fish out of water.
“How the hell am I getting a soulmate at 16? Why does the world work like this?” Xavier asked exasperated.
“The thing is, everyone gets those dreams at different times, this women had a dream about her soulmate at age 25. It’s not like they got married right then and there. For all we know, the soulmate bond thing could be platonic and the person you’ve been dreaming about could just be your best friend until death. The other person would have dreams about you too, there’s no way to know if the soulmate bond is romantic or platonic unless you guys have spent enough time with each other because YOU get to choose whether you stay platonic or not. Like how cool is that? It’s still your choice!” Ajax exclaimed, trying to make his best friend feel better about the dreams he has been having.
“So you’re telling me that the person I’ve been dreaming about could either be my best friend or my lover, and only we could choose whether or not we stay friends or become something else?” Xavier asked Ajax for clarification.
“That is exactly what I’m saying. But since you keep having these dreams, maybe you will meet them sooner than you think.” Ajax said, patting Xavier’s back comfortingly.
Maybe Ajax was right, maybe there’s no “written in the stars” bullshit that romance novels will have you believe, Xavier was still in control and that made him feel so much better about these dreams. As breakfast came to an end, they went botany class that’s being taught by a new teacher after the whole…Crackstone thing. Classes went on, then lunch, then the rest of classes. Maybe his soulmate isn’t going to meet him today, there is always tomorrow.
Meanwhile Y/N was taking a nap after she finished packing her things to go to Nevermore Academy tomorrow. She kept dreaming of a tall brunette with shoulder length hair and hazel eyes. This is the fifth time she has dreamt of the boy. Y/N woke up after hearing her mother yelling.
“Amor, ya está la cena, ven a comer antes que se te enfríe (Dinner is ready, come eat before your food gets cold).” Y/N got out of bed to go eat her dinner
Now it was nighttime, both Xavier and Y/N went to sleep, thinking about each other. The dream was different than before. In both their dreams, it was only glimpses of the other person, however in this dream, they were both on a date. Xavier and Y/N were walking together hand in hand through the woods. To Y/N is was a random place, to Xavier it was the woods in his way to the art shed. When they made it to a lake, they sat on the deck and began having a picnic, everything was going well and…The alarm sounded in both Xavier’s and Y/N’s room.
Xavier woke up, got dressed, and went to his art shed. What does this new development in his dreams? What does this mean? Was he going to meet her today? Why was this dream so different from the others? Xavier started painting what he remembered from his dream, the two of them in front of the lake.
Y/N got into her parents car to go to Nevermore. She was very nervous and couldn’t get that dream out of her head, who was he? The car ride was short and said goodbye to her parents since they already talked to the new principal yesterday while Y/N packed. The principal showed Y/N around and gave her a uniform so she can change in the dorm she will be sharing with Yoko. Once she changed, Yoko showed her around and they went to the quad to get breakfast together. When they shook hands, Y/N had a vision of Yoko drinking blood from a human and showing her fangs, Y/N took her hand back as she shuddered.
“Did you have a vision? What did you see? Like did you see the future? Are you psychic?” Yoko was asking Y/N question after question.
“Um, I had a vision, I saw you drinking a human’s blood, I don’t see the future, I see the supernatural, and I’m a seer, not psychic.” Y/N answered her questions in order.
“Oh, yeah, I’m a vampire but I don’t drink straight from the vein, I use blood bags. So how do your seer powers work?” Yoko clarified.
“That’s good. It works by touch, sort of. If I touch something of supernatural energy, like yourself, I get like a quick rundown of what you are, basically the backstory. It’s pretty useful actually.” Y/N said, explaining her power as they were eating.
“That’s so cool, Wednesday is kinda has that ability. If she touches something or someone, she can see the past or future. But it comes to her at random, like sometimes it’s things that you would never believe.” Yoko explained.
“That’s interesting. She’s classified as a psychic because she sees the future, right?” Y/N asked.
“Yep.” Yoko said. Their breakfast continued and Y/N saw a boy walk into the quad, he looked so familiar and when she got a closer look at him, it was the boy from her dreams, no manches. “Who are you staring at?” Yoko asked before she turned to see who caught Y/N’s eyes. “Oh, that’s Xavier, he’s psychic and he’s an artist. He’s single, in case you were wondering.”
“I wasn’t wondering that, he just looks familiar, that’s all.” Y/N said.
Xavier noticed someone staring at him so he looked at the tables and he saw her, the girl that he’s been dreaming about. He quickly got breakfast and sat next to Ajax.
“Ajax, do you know who’s sitting with Yoko?” Xavier asked the gorgon.
“You scared me, by the way, thank you for seeing if I’m okay. And I don’t know much, I think her name is Y/N though, why?” Ajax asked and then he realizes why Xavier asked and gasped, “That’s the girl you’ve been dreaming about!” Ajax shouted excitedly and Xavier covered his mouth.
“Oh yeah, say it louder, I don’t think Enid heard you!” Xavier whisper shouted before taking his hand away from Ajax’s mouth. Breakfast went by quickly and they and to go to their first class they shared.
“Good morning, class. We have a new student, her name is Y/N, and she’s a seer, sit next to Mr. Thorpe. Xavier, raise your hand.” Xavier did and Y/N smiled shyly before sitting next to him.
“I know you.” Y/N whispered to Xavier.
“Oh really?” Xavier asked.
“I’ve walked with you once upon a dream. I’m glad I get to put a name to that face I’ve been dreaming about.” Y/N commented.
“Tell me about it, you’ve been driving me crazy since I dreamt about you.” Xavier said.
“Same here. I don’t really know what these dreams mean though, after all, I’m just a seer, not a full blown psychic.” Y/N said playing with the bracelet on her left wrist.
“Let’s just say we are connected, we have a bond.” Xavier said. Y/N nodded her head. “Would you like to go to the Weathervane after school? We could get to know each other better. It’s the least you can do after haunting my dreams.” Xavier whispered laughing.
“I’d love to, it’s a date then.” Y/N whispered before paying attention to their teacher. Both Y/N and Xavier smiling, maybe they’ll be more than platonic soulmates, only time will tell.

Wednesday characters playing Just Dance HCS
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: this is just a small post about how i think the wednesday characters would be at playing Just Dance
A/N: this one has been sitting in the drafts for a while now and figured now might be a good time to post since i have nothing else to release yet. thought of this while playing the new just dance game and wondered how the characters would play it, so i thought it would be fun to share my thoughts with you guys. feel free to give your own thoughts too, or request something <3
———————
Wednesday: There is no way she would willingly do this, there's only person that could possibly convince her to play just dance and that is Enid. She would not care about her score at all, nor would she even try following along with the little figurines in the corner of the screen. There would not he much energy, no emotion, not even a little sweaty either. I feel like she would somehow manage to get a great score without actually trying, and she would act like it was the easiest thing ever but not in a boasting manner. Would probably say that was pure torture afterwards, but we all know that's what she loves most.
———————
Enid: She's 100% the person that forced everyone to play the game, it also wouldn't surprise me if all the records were on her name as well considering she'd probably play this game so much. She would be so competitive with this, if anyone ever broke her record she would repeat that dance over and over until she had top score again. Girly gets superstar! and megastar!! on every single dance there is, probably having every move memorized including the extreme dances. Would definitely rub her win in everyone's face, doing a little happy dance too.
———————
Xavier: I don't think he would protest against playing the game, but he also wouldn't be the one to suggest it himself. It would mostly depend on his mood and who else would be playing, if it's with people he's close with i think he'd do it but if not there is no way you could convince him to join. This man has absolutely no control over his limbs and would look like an idiot, would also never be on beat either. He'd get angry about not getting a higher score since he's really competitive, but he's aware his talent lies elsewhere. Wouldn't stop him from trying again and again until he finally got more than 3 stars.
———————
Ajax: Im convinced he would ACE this, he definitely has a hidden dance talent that he was waiting for to show to everyone. Definitely playing this game with Enid every now and then, acting like he doesn't want to so she acts all cute trying to convince him and giving in at the end. He'd do that on purpose for sure, just so she would do that. And since she's so competitive he would make sure she always has a few more points than him.
———————
Tyler: I genuinely don't know how he would be at just dance, don't have very high expectations for this man though. He didn't even dance at the RaveN, like he just stood there staring at Wednesday without moving an inch of his body. So I don't expect him to dance anywhere else either. Would probably be there for the vibes, but wouldn't be the one dancing and stealing the show.
———————
Bianca: Would slay so hard, if there's someone breaking Enid's records it's definitely her. Would somehow manage to look cool doing every single dance, no matter how silly looking the choreo really is. Would have her own hype squad sitting in the couch, cheering for her on the sidelines. Queen B has never gotten a single 'X' on her screen for any move, and will never have one.
———————
Eugene: This dude is too precious for the world, he probably wouldn't have a clue about what's going on but he's just happy to be invited honestly. He's doing his best, but what's most important to him is just having fun. He doesn't really care about how many stars he gets or if he gets the top score, he would get average scores I think.
———————
Kent: Would give it his all, secretly loves playing this game but wouldn't admit it. Feel like this man would freestyle half the choreo, really putting in all his energy into the moves. Gets really excited for the 'yeah!'-moves, or any floor movements too.
———————
Yoko: She would do the bare minimum, couldn't be bothered to move her whole body just her right arm to get the point. Still getting lots of stars since she's only focusing on what will give her points instead of looking at the other movements too. Does she look like a badass though? Oh, absolutely.
———————
Divina: Would find it so unfair that Yoko isn't even trying her best, getting frustrated because she's getting more points than her. I think she would be a little competitive as well, but wouldn't rage out like some of the other do. Would mostly just enjoy having fun with her friends, laughing the entire time at how some of them really can't dance.
———————
Rowan: Don't think he'd play for long to be honest, he would try to join a couple dances but would eventually sit back on the couch looking at the others dancing. He doesn't really look like the dancer type, feel like he would be kinda shy to dance around others, feels unnatural for him to dance in the first place.

Natural Disasters, CoD Ghosts HC’s
What natural disaster are the Ghosts?
Tumblr media
A/N🪶: Please keep in mind that these are just my opinions! I’d love to hear(or I guess read?) your thoughts. These are for all the Ghosts, former, deceased and current within the Ghosts game. This means I will be including Rorke, Ajax and Elias Walker. Canon character information is taken from the CoD: Ghosts Wiki page. Please correct me if I’ve got anything canon wrong!
Elias T. “Scarecrow” Walker, Earthquake
Tumblr media
Not because he’s a Californian at heart.
I imagine that Elias had a very large impact on many people's lives.
He can’t be solely defined as a “killer”, he still has so much humanity left, shown by the way he comforted his son even when he knew he wasn’t going to survive Rorke’s torturing.
There are some lines from wikipedia used to describe earthquakes that I think are fitting for him.
“Earthquakes can range in intensity, from those that are so weak that they cannot be felt, to those violent enough to propel objects and people into the air…” - Wikipedia, Earthquake, paragraph 1.
“Earthquakes by themselves rarely kill people or wildlife - it is usually the secondary events that they trigger…” - Wikipedia, Natural Disaster, Earthquakes
Elias is definitely a hardened person but not so much so that he’s emotionless or stone cold. However, keep in mind that he and Hesh said that Elias has put his sons through multiple “tests”.
I imagine these tests were done to teach his sons to survive and defend themselves, probably after the death of their mom/his wife.
Elias is strong but still emotional, loves his sons more than anything but also understands that the world needs someone to defend it.
“Listen, you boys… you’re the only thing I’ve got left in this world… But you’re also the only ones I can trust.” - Elias Walker to Hesh and Logan.
David “Hesh” Walker, Wildfire
Tumblr media
I almost wanted to say flood but I think wildfire is fitting for David.
Like with Elias, this is not because he’s a California native(?). Mostly because I don’t see anything that exactly says he was born in California. Just that he was raised there.
I’ve seen multiple definitions of Hesh. Urban Dictionary says it comes from the word “hessian” and means “cool, courageous, reckless”. Wikipedia says that HESH(UK) or HEP(US) is a type of “explosive projectile… that conforms to the surface of a target before detonating”.
David is a very emotional person as we’ve seen. He gets angry and worried easily, as seen in the entire game.
The biggest examples that come to mind are when the brothers are picked up with Merrick and Keegan and David is arguing with them about getting their dad, and when Keegan, David and Logan are trying to get coordinates on Rorke and Rorke appears in the monitor, taunting them. David yelling at Rorke and calling the dude a piece of shit, as he should. Keegan attempting to calm him down.
David can be stealthy when he wants to be but that doesn’t mean he won’t get out of control or reckless. He’s ready to put himself on the line, especially for Logan.
You don’t see his rage at first but you’ll see it when it gets bigger.
I think David uses his emotions to help him get the job done, powered by spite as shown by him telling Merrick to hit the very train him and Logan were on so they could avenge their father.
His emotions aren’t a bad thing, of course. He cares a lot about those around him and wants to protect them. Maybe I just love him too much but I can’t help it!
Logan Walker, Drought
Tumblr media
I had a hard time picking one for him but I settled on drought.
I wanted to pick something that wasn’t an exact opposite to Hesh, but still different.
“A drought is a period of drier-than-normal conditions.”. - Wikipedia, Drought, Paragraph 1.
Logan is described as a “quiet-man, a cold-blooded killer and an excellent soldier…” - CoD Ghosts: Wiki Logan Walker, Personality
According to rescue.org, a drought happen gradually but are still deadly.
You don’t hear it happening but you can see the effects it has on the ecosystem around it.
Logan is described by Elias as being more like his mother, who we know nothing about aside from her status as deceased and Elias saying the tremors used to scare the shit out of her.
Let’s also mention how droughts can increase the likelihood of wildfires. David and Logan are always supporting each other and working together whenever possible. I think Logan(and Elias too) has given David a lot of inspiration to become the man he is and vice versa.
As different as the two are, they go hand in hand, different skill sets that can fit like a puzzle.
Thomas A. Merrick, Avalanche
Tumblr media
Big scary man (he’s labelled as stocky on his wiki page)
But for real, Merrick is a very strong person. I wouldn’t call him emotional like Hesh, but he is loud and a very visible presence.
He’s unique and has a history that I imagine has influenced him a lot.
He’s respectful but I think he reserves his respect for very specific people.
Keep in mind, he went from yelling in David’s face at the beginning to just accepting his order to hit the train at the end of the game. Not to mention the way he was able to emotionally connect with the brothers after Elias’s death.
When Rorke was his Captain, we saw the amount of respect Merrick holds. “Permission to speak freely?.. No, Sir”. But we also see Merrick punching Rorke as soon as he has the opportunity and telling him to shut up.
Also, I feel like he prefers colder climates, which fits because avalanches are basically snow slides.
Please keep in mind that while Hesh being a loud, emotional person could be used to say that his loudness would cause a Merrick avalanche, avalanches actually can’t be caused by sound. The more ya know :)
Keegan P. Russ, Sinkhole
Tumblr media
Sinkholes actually do have warning signs if you look closely.
But they might as well be sudden when you don’t pay attention.
Keegan, while not completely silent like Logan, is still a very quiet, controlled person.
We see him sneak around, leaving bodies in his wake.
He’s described in the wiki as “known to complete combat operations under extreme conditions”.
Sinkholes (or the conditions for them I guess?) can form over the course of hundreds of years. Keegan has a lot of experience and was part of the original 15 Ghosts.
Keegan knows how to hide himself, seen when Rorke is interrogating the Walkers and Merrick trying to get information on him.
He’s there when you least expect it, hiding under the surface.
Alex V. “Ajax” Johnson
Tumblr media
Because we see so little of Ajax, it was difficult to find something fitting.
Ajax was also one of the original fifteen Ghosts.
He’s strong, stubborn and I’d say a powerful force, in his last moments, he was giving direction to Keegan, Logan, David and Merrick. “Rorke. It was Rorke. He’s targeting… look.. the wall…” - Ajax in Struck Down.
Because of this, I think a cyclone was the best fit.
A cyclone is basically like a storm of winds I guess?
“A large air mass that rotates around a strong center of low atmospheric pressure… the largest low-pressure systems are polar vortices and extratropical cyclones of the largest scale (the synoptic scale).” - Wikipedia, Cyclone, Paragraph 1.
He did everything he could in his last moments, staying strong as long as he could to protect the remaining Ghosts, giving them all the information he could as his last words.
Remember, the air itself can be just as dangerous as anything else.
Rest in Peace, Ajax, you deserved better my guy <3
Gabriel T. Rorke, Flood
Tumblr media
Yes, I’m choosing this partially because this was a major part of his character arc within his lore.
But there are more reasons.
“Human changes to the environment often increase the intensity and frequency of flooding… ” - Wikipedia, Flood, Paragraph 1.
^ This can connect to the impact the Federation had on him, before and after Rorke being dropped.
The thing about floods is that they can sweep you off your feet, not in a good way, obviously.
The flood is going one way and it’s not afraid to take you with it.
It hits you where you’re actually the weakest, making you stumble and appearing when you least expect it.
The flood in the game occurred due to the dam breaking.
Rorke seems to be a “go with the flow” type of person. Something goes wrong, all he can do is keep trying to reach his goal (assuming he hasn’t already made a Plan B).
Floods can cause a lot of damage and take more lives than one may expect. He’s made his impact within the game, the way he killed Elias, making the Ghosts(especially David and Logan) want to avenge their former captain which led to even more shit happening.
Kick, Tornado
Tumblr media
This one I can’t explain but it just feels right.
Maybe because he flies a helicopter?
Also when I was looking at wikipedia about cyclones I found something interesting.
“Mesocyclones, tornadoes, and dust devils lie within the smaller mesoscale.” - Wikipedia, Cyclone, Paragraph 1
If you recall from Ajax’s HC above, basically ajax is a big cyclone and Kick can be like a smaller scale cyclone I guess. I just like the idea of that (plus Kick is the shortest of the Ghosts)
Neptune, Storm
I’m just gonna leave this here for inclusion’s sake.
Neptune has next to nothing on his wiki page so I’m just gonna give him something more basic.
I almost gave him volcano but that felt like too much.
We appreciate all the Ghosts here <3
Riley… Riley
He’s a natural disaster of his own, special type.
Have you seen the way he rips peoples throats out?
We stan Riley, the sweet bloody boi <3

are you falling in love? i have a feeling you are
in which you have an embarrassingly large crush on xavier thorpe
warnings: swear words
Tumblr media
every morning, you would take a little detour to your first period class in order to cross paths with xavier.
"hey, i didn't know you took this path to your next class," xavier put his hand on your shoulders to stop you.
"oh, yeah, i didn't originally, but you know. my original route got a little crowded, so uh, yeah." you bit your lip, already making plans to bang your head against a wall because god, you were so fucking awkward.
you hoped he wouldn't acknowledge the fact that this path was also crowded. or that you were going completely the wrong way, and your next class was behind you, which you had literally just walked away from.
Tumblr media
you even began enrolling yourself in the fencing, archery, and art classes so you would have more opportunities to talk to him
and yeah, you knew it was a little stalkerish. but what were you supposed to do, go up to him and actually start a conversation? hell no.
Tumblr media
it was embarrassing how excited you were to be near xavier
"god, i'm so tired!" you whined, resting your head in your arms as everyone ate lunch around you. "i barely got any sleep last night because i was too hot, but when i took my blanket off, i was too cold!"
"what's this about being too cold?" xavier slid onto the open seat next to you.
immediately, you perked up, and all the exhaustion seemed to drain from your body. you flushed at the giggles of your friends who knew about your crush on xavier.
Tumblr media
and then you tried to have wednesday, enid, and ajax be your wingmen, which didn't exactly work out
"okay wednesday, i need you to tell enid to tell ajax to tell xavier how cool i am. like, talk about how smart i am, or how my clothes looked nice today or something. hype me up, okay?" you looked into wednesday's deadpan eyes, silently begging her to agree.
"enid, tell ajax to tell xavier about how great y/n is. i'm not sure why." wednesday said to enid.
"O.M.G. yes! i totally got this! okay, ajax. tell xavier how cool y/n is. like, talk about how y/n gave you a lamborghini for your birthday, or lent you a hundred bucks because you really needed it!" enid said excitedly to ajax. "and before you say it, yes, i know none of that happened. but the point is to hype y/n up!"
"anyway dude, so like after giving me a hundred bucks and donating 3 mil to charity for children with cancer, y/n gave me a lamborghini for my birthday." ajax said to xavier.
"....what?" xavier said blankly.

HEYY!! I was just thinking about Eugene Otinger with a male reader who has the same obsession with bees as him and Eugene is just like “he’s the one”
“Lame”
Short Story᯽
Authors words: sorry for taking forever- I had jack shit ideas for this just like I know Jack shit abt bees- speaking of that- I may have bullshitted my way through this cause I don’t know anything abt bees;-;
Word Count: 712
Character(s): Eugene Otinger
Pronouns: He/Him
Warning(s): Y/n has pathokinesis but that’s not directly(if at all) stated in this, I gave Y/n the last name Stygian, Ajax X Enid, not proof read, Enid is referred to as Wereblond instead of Werewolf like once,
Tumblr media
“Lame.”
“Lame.”
“Lame.”
“Lame.”
“Lame.”
“Lame.”
“Lame.”
“Choir? Really? How…. Lame.”
Y/n groaned for what felt like the hundredth time, rolling his head back as he did so.
“I don’t get why I have to join a club. They’re all so—“
“Lame?” Ajax, Y/n’s childhood friend, mocked as he laughed at his friend's antics. “What’d you do your whole first year in that normie school then?”
Y/n looked at his childhood friend with a half hearted, annoyed glare. “None of them wanted a freak to join their club. You’d know that if you listened to me instead of gushing about your werewolf girlfriend.” The [taller]/[shorter] male said, rolling his eyes.
Ajax only rolled his eyes back to his friend before nudging him. “Hey, we still have one more club to check out.”
“Fuck my life…”
And that’s how they ended up in front of what seems to be an old tool shed. However what caught Y/n’s attention was the bees buzzing around the building, as well as the boy wearing bee protection gear.
“Well this is it.” Ajax gestured to the building before turning to Y/n. “But knowing you, you’ll probably find it lame too—“
Ajax is cut off by Y/n. “Hey, don’t you have a date with wereblond?”
“Oh my god! I totally forgot me and Enid had library duty today!” The Gorgon shouted. “I’ll see you later dude!”
Rolling his eyes as Ajax ran back to the school, he turned to the boy who was coming up to him.
“Hey! Are you here to join the bee-keeping club?” Y/n nodded. “Really?! Okay!- I’m Eugene Otinger, just call me Eugene, did you know you’re the second person that wants to join this club? Oh! And- what do you know about bees?”
“Y/n Stygian, dark, I know.” He joked. “Now uh- yes I am. Yes really. Okay Eugene. No, I didn't know that. And I know quite a lot, bees are pretty… cool.” Y/n answered all of Eugene’s questions.
“Woah! Did you just say bees were cool? I was told you thought everything was lame?”
“I do. Bees just so happen to be my favorite living creature, Ajax is a close second.” Eugene chuckled nervously at the male.
“W-well then… What do you know about bees?”
Eugene watched as Y/n’s eyes seemingly lit up. “Well for starters bees are—“ The [taller]/[shorter] male started to ramble on and on about everything and anything he could that had to do with bees as Eugene occasionally jumped in with excitement.
The two found themselves smiling and enjoying each other's presence as they continued to talk about bees for the next two hours. To anyone else they would’ve seemed like weirdos, passionate weirdos, but weirdos nonetheless.
And they were.
However, that didn’t stop them as they continued to talk, even as Eugene got out of his bee protective gear and walked back to school together, still talking about bees. Both of them waving their hands around and smiling as they walked through Nevermore hallways.
Y/n invited Eugene into his dorm, finding he has no roommate, and looked in awe as there were bee plushies and pillows on the bed, along with other bee related things. Eugene found that the stuff that took up most of the dorm was anime stuff, bees, or metal bands. Which was pretty cool in his opinion.
The two continued to talk in Y/n’s dorm for awhile, still about bees, and sometimes other stuff. However after Eugene finally left to go to his own dorm, he found himself thinking.
Y/n and him shared an interest in bees, and both only had like two actual friends. Not only that but they could both just communicate so well with each other, both finding out that the other also found it hard to talk to most people. It was just… perfect.
Y/n on the other hand was thinking similarly. To him, Eugene was like Ajax, “totally not lame” in his own words. Unlike Ajax, Eugene shared his interest in bees, which most people are creeped out by. It was also just so easy to talk to the other boy.
‘Could he be the one?’ They both wondered that night.

TAGLIST
@smexydeftonesfan
Part 1! 👇
Tumblr media
The hours passed by as Y/N unpacked her bags and put up some small decorations around the room as she went, doing what she could to make her side of the room look like hers. After a while, Iliana pokes her head out from the dressing screen.
"Hey, I have your uniform, you can get changed, and then we can go explore if you want" Iliana smiles, walking out from behind the screen to hold out a neatly folded striped uniform to Y/N.
Y/N smiles, and takes the uniform, looking over the stripes on the uniform with a small smile. As much as she didn't want to admit it, the place was starting to grow on her... Despite her rocky start.
"Yeah, sure" Y/N smiles and stood from her spot on the bed to walk to the dressing screen, quickly changing behind it. She wasn't sure how she felt about the long skirt, but it didn't bother her too much. Maybe she could get a shorter one later on.
Once she was dressed she walked out from behind the screen with a small smile. "Tadaaa" She chimes and Iliana's face lights up, cheeks rounding as she smiles, a happy hiss coming from her hat.
"You look great Normie! Come on, let's go to the quad" Iliana chirps, before grabbing Y/N's hand and running out of the dorms with a giggle.
Y/N considered herself lucky, knowing that it was sort of a 50/50 chance that she'd get a nice roommate, and so far, Iliana seemed like the nicest she could get.
They ran to the quad, and Y/N was fast to find out that it was a big courtyard mixed with an outdoor cafeteria. She looked around, listening as Iliana explained the different cliques at each table. She took note of the main 4, but also took note of multiple others, gorgons, psychics, etcetera.
At one point, Iliana got separated from her, so Y/N stood against one of the pillars, her arms crossed over her chest, just slightly offended that she got left behind. She stood there for about then minutes before she heard someone clear their throat.
She looks towards where she heard the noise, and there he stood, the boy who petrified her, standing anxiously with his hands shoved in his pockets. "Hi" He murmurs, looking down at his feet.
Seeing the boy delved some anger from within her, but she knew what had occurred wasn't his fault. "What do you want?" She sighs, leaning further against the pillar. Ajax took a breath and shifted on his feet. "I just.. Wanted to say sorry. I know you're new and I /totally/ didn't mean to stone you. I'm usually better about it, the guys were trying to make me stone myself but I accidentally looked at you and-"
He rambles, sucking in a large breath when he paused, a pitiful expression gracing his face. Y/N could tell that he was nervous, and felt genuinely bad, so she sighed.
"It's fine, jeez dude take a breather. It's all over and done with" She huffs, she figured she was allowed to hold this grudge... At least within reason. The guy was cute at least.
"Here. How about this, tonight after classes I take you down to the Weathervane n' buy you a coffee, huh? Try and make up for stonin' you?" He sighs, giving a sheepish smile, shifting on his feet as he awaited her answer.
Y/N thought for a moment, mulling the offer over in her head. It was a sweet offer, and it'd be nice to get back in Jericho, even if it was just for a little bit. She took a breath, shaking her head to clear it before humming.
"Alright, you've swayed me... Make the coffee a hot chocolate though... And add a croissant" She nods with a little huff, and Ajax smiled. "Cool! Hot chocolate and a croissant it is"
That sort of genuine smile that lights up the room and makes the gloomy clouds go away. It was a sort of goofy smile, wide and slightly lopsided, showing slightly smoke-stained teeth that were generally well cared for, even if they weren't perfectly straight, the smile wrinkling his nose a little.
The smile warmed Y/N's mood a little, melting her hostile stature slightly, her hands folded neatly in front of her now rather than crossed. "I'll let you do your thing then. By the way... What's your name?" He paused, raising an eyebrow as he looked her over as if trying to guess what her name would be.
"Y/N L/N, you're... Ajax right? At least that's what the nurse said" She hums, looking up at him as a singular snake poked it's head out from under his hat, giving a curious hiss as it rolled against his forehead.
"Uh, yeah.. Sorry" He mumbles, pushing the snake back up into his hat, which gave a disgruntled snap at his finger. "Ow- Yeah. Ajax Petropolus" He nods, offering his hand out to her to shake, which she declined.
"We're not there yet buddy, maybe after the hot chocolate" She chuckles, pushing his hand away, and looked up when she heard Iliana's bouncy humming.
"Hey, Ajax! Y'all make up yet?" Iliana chimes, holding a bottle of water in one hand, a cupcake in her other, and a bottle of Mountain Dew in the crook of her elbow.
Ajax gave a shy smile, close-mouthed but genuine, and took the bottle of mountain dew from her. "We're... Working on it. I think" he mumbles, taking off the cap which caused the carbonation to hiss loudly, the nearby group of werewolves perking up at the noise.
"God, they're like big dogs aren't they?" Y/N chuckles, looking over the small pack as they went back to fighting over a Frisbee. Soon Iliana held the cupcake out to her, vanilla with bright blue frosting and sprinkles, a sparkler stuck in the icing. "Yeah. Here! A sorry that you got stoned on your first-day present" Iliana giggles, and Y/N took the cupcake, glancing over at Ajax.
"You had something to do with this huh?" She mumbles, and Ajax almost choked on the mouthful of mountain dew he was in the process of swallowing.
"Uh... Yeah. Sorry, I didn't know if you liked vanilla or chocolate... So I played it safe and went with vanilla. You don't have to eat it though... It was Illie's idea" he mumbles, looking back down at his bottle of soda.
Y/N hums, glancing over at Iliana with a wry smirk. "Illie's idea huh? Y'all must be close" She mutters, blowing out the sparkler before licking a bit of icing off of her thumb. "Not bad, but for the record, I prefer strawberry" She grins, handing Ajax the cupcake, who took it with wide eyes.
Y/N then looked over at Iliana with a hum. "C'mon, you gotta help me get ready for tonight then" The statement made Iliana grin and clap her hands, and with that, the girls were laughing and off to the dorms, leaving Ajax in the damp quad, watching the two girls run off.
Tumblr media

I Wait For You (Its What I Do)
Xavier Thorpe x Female Original Character (Sade Ricci)
Sade Ricci’s fangs just came in two weeks into the school year, so that means a transfer to Nevermore academy. (Does not follow show plot)
1.9k words (part three)
TW: cigarettes, vapes, mention of pills, blood, mentions of making out, falling and becoming unconscious, eating disorder if you squint, weed, smoking
Posting to Ao3 under wonde_rr and Wattpad under SHADYGROVEE
Playlist: it’s in the works
chapter three masterlist
“So, Sade, why don’t you wear glasses like Yoko? I mean, I never really asked why she wears them…have any of us? Yoko’s usually with Divina nowadays…”
Having Ajax as a partner in Thornhill’s class was not Sade’s favorite part of Nevermore, and she doubted it ever would be.
Sade liked Ajax. He was nice, funny even, but sometimes he wouldn’t not stop talking and asking questions. Sade would bet most of her money that he was high right now. Despite that, she hoped they would make good friends now that Xavier convinced her not to remove herself from the group the other day.
That was Monday, which meant it was Friday. Sade couldn’t wait to get out of third period. Staring at the back of Xavier’s and Wednesday’s heads while they worked on the assignment together was making her sick.
“Sade?”
The girl turned to see Ajax staring at her. She smiled slightly.
“Sorry, Ajax, I zoned out.”
The gorgon smiled back at her. “It’s all cool. You’ll have to provide some answers to my questions another time.”
“Oh yeah…” Sade wasn’t sure what to say, she almost felt bad (mostly for the fact she wanted to drain his blood. Only slightly, though).
She quickly scribbled down her phone number in her notebook and ripped out the paper, handing it to Ajax. “Here. Text me later.”
Ajax looked confused for a moment when he picked up the paper, before grinning at her again. “You don’t have snapchat or instagram?”
She just kind of looked at the boy and he laughed. “I’ll take that as a no. Jesus, I’m hungry. Do you think anything in here is edible?”
Sade tuned him slightly out again, focusing more on the assignment than anything else. She was smart, yes, but she knew she couldn’t focus on trying to stab both Wednesday and Xavier with her eyes the whole period. Plus Ajax certainly wasn’t getting much done.
“Is it because you’re like a baby vampire? Y'know, the blood pills and shit?”
The vampire sighed.
——
“…Dude, you’ve never seen How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days?” Ajax had a bewildered look on his face and Xavier wanted to shoot himself.
“No, Jax.” The artist sighed as he watched his best friend take another hit of his blunt.
“Enid made me watch it back when, y’know, she wasn’t out of the closet. It’s actually so good. I should’ve told you about it before so you could’ve used Ben’s sexy tactics to get with Wednesday. Wait, I think she’s dating Enid. Hey, where’s Rowan?”
Xavier sighed again, before inhaling the smoke Ajax was letting out. “I don’t care about Wednesday anymore. Rowan is probably with Sade at this rate.” The boy ended with a sour look on his face, feeling extremely jealous.
Ajax looked at him. “Wait, did you seriously just get over Wednesday like that? I mean Sade is attractive, but we’ve known her for like, not even a week yet.”
Xavier shook his head. “I’ve been getting over Wednesday. She made it obvious she wasn’t interested back in like, sophomore year. Her getting with Enid was the last push I needed.”
The gorgon looked at him skeptically. “You sure it wasn’t Sade?”
“Yes! I’m sure! This isn’t about her, or Wednesday, or Bianca, or Tyler!” Xavier burst up from his seat in the corner of the dorm. He had a hand on his hip and one rubbing his temples.
Ajax put his hands up in defense. “I’m sorry dude, you know I didn’t mean it like that,”
Xavier looked up at the boy before Rowan walked in. Both their heads turned to him, his lips seeming slightly swollen and his hair mussed up. “Hey, guys.”
“Christ, what happened to you?” Ajax questioned.
Rowan flushed as they heard loud music start, flowing in from the window.
All three boys went to look out of it, seeing a window from the girl’s dorms open, and out of it flowing an Italian melody. A sweet voice singing the Italian perfectly started to flow over with the music.
Xavier slammed the window shut and the other two boys flinched. The artist stormed away from it to the other side of the room and started pacing.
It was silent for a moment before Xavier spoke. “So what, Rowan, you were just with her, weren’t you?”
Neither boy had to ask who the taller boy was talking about, it wasn’t even a question.
“…It-it’s nothing serious…just…fun…?” Rowan spoke and it sounded like a question. Sade had made it clear to him that she just wanted to make out. That was it. What Rowan hadn’t expected was a cut along his lip and a small hickey on his upper jaw.
Xavier was fuming and Ajax looked slightly frightened.
“What fun?” He spoke with venom in his voice that felt thick.
“She told me she just wanted to make out, I dunno. I doubt it’ll amount to anything if that’s what you’re worried about, Xavier.” Rowan sighed. “She’s all yours.”
Ajax looked between the two boys before taking another hit of the blunt and texting Enid what was happening. The girl had sent various emojis before responding with actual words.
Enid
this is almost council meeting worthy!!!!!!
Enid
like what do we do about Sade
Enid
i hate to say it but she’s been messing?? things up a little bit. rocking the boat if you will
Ajax
yeah
Ajax
really nice tho
Ajax
we’ve all been in a routine with each other for so long and she’s just altered it yk for better or worse
Enid
EXACTLY!!!!!
Ajax put his phone down to see Rowan had gone into the bathroom and Xavier had sat down again, but he was sulking. Not too unusual.
“Dude, we kind of knew Sade was flirty, I really doubt it’s anything.”
Xavier didn’t say anything for a minute, just sitting with a jealous look on his face.
“I know I can’t control her, but I already really like her. If she’s just running around doing shit with guys for ‘fun’ then how am I supposed to try and get with her anyways?”
“You’re overthinking it! You just gotta try. If she’s not into it then you can’t do anything about it. We just met her, she could be the devil for all we know. Chill out and if it’s meant to be, it’ll be. I’m sure we’ve all made out with people before without it meaning anything…hormones, Dude.” Ajax provided surprisingly good insight and Xavier looked at him.
“You’re right. I can't take this shit out on Rowan…I’m just scared I guess. I’ve already taken this liking to her and I don’t wanna lose what I don't even have yet.” The boy sighed, running his hand through his hair.
Ajax nodded and pat Xavier on the shoulder. “This shits tough man, I get it. Your past romances don’t help. You deserve something good. Let this be good!”
Xavier looked up at his best friend and smiled slightly before looking down to his phone.
——
Saturday came around and Sade found herself in the woods again. Her jeans and sweatshirt weren’t exactly suited for the rain and a damp vampire was not a happy one. Her umbrella would have to suffice.
She was upset because of the rain, itching for a cigarette, her stomach was growling, and she couldn’t find anything to help her thirst for real blood. Sade knew the blood pills would help that over time, that’s what they were meant to do, but she couldn’t be bothered to listen to her Dad anymore.
Her Dad was a vampire and she didn’t know her mother, so she was probably some sort of half-breed, the reason for her not knowing she was a vampire till her fangs came in and her lack of sunglasses so she didn’t go blind. This was her working theory, but she had never asked her Dad. He didn’t like to talk about her mother.
“Christ I need a cigarette…or a vape…something to stop this headache.” Sade muttered, cursing herself for leaving her cigarettes in her dorm.
After finding nothing to drain the blood out of, she stumbled upon Xavier’s shed again. There was no one in it and Sade was desperate.
She picked the lock with a stray bobby pin and started rummaging through anything and everything to find some semblance of nicotine.
Eventually Sade found an old vape, thrown in a drawer with a few crumpled pieces of paper. She hit the vape a few times, which surprisingly wasn’t dead, before she calmed down. What felt like animalistic urges were gone.
The vampire threw the vape back into the drawer, closing it quickly. She stopped for a moment before opening the drawer back up and taking out one of the crumpled up pieces of paper. Sade unfolded the paper, straightening it out on the desk as she saw what was on it.
Fangs, eyes with slight red penciling, lips, and hands with long fingernails. A look of confusion twisted on the girl's face as she took out more of the crumpled papers, seeing similar things on all of them.
Sade looked at the drawings laid out in front of her, biting the fingernail of her thumb before crumpling them all back up and stuffing them in the drawer. She took another hit of the vape before slamming it shut.
The vampire stood there for a moment before spinning around in horror as she heard laughter and footsteps begin to draw closer.
“Merda, merda.” She mumbled under her breath, unsure of what to do.
Her mind seemed to move on autopilot as she quickly took off her shoes and slipped out of the crack in the door, abandoning her umbrella where she left it outside. The voices and footsteps were getting closer and closer. Sade stuck her shoes down the front of her sweatshirt before running to the nearest tree. She climbed it quickly and with skill. Perks of vampirism.
Xavier, Ajax, and Rowan had approached now, confused at the sight of the umbrella and unlocked door. Sade watched from above, not daring to breathe. She seriously didn’t wanna fuck up the already fucked up friendships she had going on with these guys, especially Xavier. She knew he’d be pissed.
“Jesus, things were going well after last night.” Xavier was pissed alright. “Is someone in there?!”
The boy stormed into his shed, Ajax and Rowan looking at each other before following after him.
Sade could hear what was going on inside, another perk of vampirism! There was shuffling, the voices were muffled but she could tell Ajax and Rowan were trying to calm the artist down. She was fairly certain she hadn’t left anything out of place, not touching anything but the door and the drawer with its contents.
Xavier stormed out of the shed, his two best friends right behind him. He started looking around the nearby woods as Ajax and Rowan tried to come up with explanations.
Sade hoped she was occupying the only place they wouldn’t look; up.
The combination of all three boy’s blood almost made her want to jump to the ground and—she needed to focus.
It was hard, though. Last night she had cut open Rowan’s lip ‘on accident’ with her fangs while making out with him. She had tasted exactly what she had been craving, and she would bet her life—not that she really had one, in a literal sense, she was technically dead—that Xavier’s blood tasted even better than sweet Rowan’s.
That was the last thing she thought about before slipping out of the tree and falling to the ground. It was all black.

Superstar
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Request: hey girl can u please make a smut or a fan fic abt amir Richardson he is so fine and theres literally nothing abt him on the internet yet😭 tyy
Warnings: none
Tumblr media
“She’s super nice, man! What’s the worst that could happen?”
“Super nice and way out of my league! Fucking look at her, dude!” Amir whisper-shouts as the group all take it in turns to take a glance at you in your friend group.
It was a tough pill to swallow but Amir had a point. At 13 he had expected to have finally started showing his dad’s genes: a growth spurt that he felt he very much needed. He was the son of a star basketball player yet one of the smallest in the grade and he hated it. The thing he hated most was the fact that he stood no chance with you. There was no way in hell you would even spare him a glance so he supposed he just had to wallow in his misery.
Basketball certainly wasn’t an option for him so he looked to other options. You once again worm your way into his mind and he remembers something. one of his few interactions with you. 
“Oh hey you left your phone!” He calls out as you’re about to walk away. It was the end of the day and the last thing you needed was to let your phone hang around overnight and lose it.
As he picks it up, he gets to glance at your lockscreen and he’s intrigued. Number 22: Ziyech. He didn’t take you for a football fam but he sure as hell welcomed it. Of course you were cool like that.
He doesn’t have much time to think it over before you turn around and he can feel his heart in his throat at the sight of you. He’s fighting the urge to run away from you because the way you made him feel just wasn’t normal. Oh god you were smiling at him. Think, Amir! Think!
“Thank you so much! I bet I wouldn’t have seen it again if it stayed overnight!” You joke. You couldn’t help but take some enjoyment in his nervous giggles. He really was such a sweetheart but you didn’t want to scare him off. He was shy enough as it was so you thought it would be best to leave him be. 
“Sooooo… Hakim Ziyech?” 
“He’s not Messi but he’ll always be my favourite ever!” You gush, forgetting that you had to get going and continuing to elaborate on your love for the Ajax star. He listened to every word with a smile because he loved seeing you so engrossed and passionate. 
Amir treasured that memory with everything he had. His first of very few interactions with you. He’d somehow managed to keep up with you to the extent where he was getting almost as excited about it as you were. With every question he could see your eyes brighten up, your smile grew wider and you got a little bit louder. 
And that was that. He would try his luck at football. He gathered from your conversations with him that height wasn’t an important factor at all for the attacking positions. Sometimes even the opposite was true. Even his friends were hyping him up for it: he was physically fit enough, quick, a good decision-maker. He may have needed a little work on the ball but he would get there.
He spent hours on the internet looking for tutorials on the simple stuff, getting his friends to help him out and his parents gladly got him everything he needed. His dad supposed that if basketball wasn’t the path, some other sport would have to do.
When he got his chance to try out, he was a little bit messy; made some mistakes but he thought he’d done okay overall. And indeed he did: a place on his school team. Sure, it was as a 3rd choice midfielder but he supposed it would have to do for now.
Although when he had told you about it, he may have omitted the 3rd choice part. On complete accident of course. So when the day of his first match does roll around, he’s a little nervous to say the least. 
It gets to the week before and you’re of course buzzing more than he is.
“This is so exciting! You’re going to become a superstar, I just know it!” you exclaimed, jumping up and down and he could only smile.
“I don’t know about that…” he scratches the back of his head, looking around awkwardly and you furrow your eyebrows.
“Come on! You never know who’s around the corner in these things. They have to get them from somewhere, no?”
“Yeah like Brazil and England maybe! Why would they even think of looking in the land of ‘soccer’ ?!”
“It’s a huge talent pool! You gotta have a little faith and even then, I have more than enough for the both of us!” you bounce up and down on your toes and all he can do is smile. He’s been in love with you for longer than he can remember and here you are at one of his matches, buzzing with excitement at the idea of supporting HIM. How had he managed this one?
Warming up wasn’t much of a priority for him today since he wasn't even expecting to be on the field. So he’d spent a good amount of time simply searching for you on the bleachers. When he finally finds you among the crowd, you’re too busy talking to your friends to notice so he’s happy to just keep his eyes on you. He’s nowhere near as chatty as he usually is and the lack of snarky comments thrown in their way has his friends confused so they all take a second to see where he’s looking and of course they spot you.
“Damn did you invite her?!”
“She would have probably come anyway” he defends but to no avail.
“Nah man, respectfully I don’t think this is the kind of soccer she’s into, you know?”
They all nod in agreement and all Amir can do is desperately avoid any eye contact. Yes, he had invited you here but he didn’t need to be fed delusions about what it meant. 
“Damn bro, I thought you said she was out of your league…” his friend nudges him while the rest snicker. All out of love and relief of course. They’d watch their friend fawn over you for too long so seeing things finally move forward was a huge deal to all of them.
They can’t help but tease him further, all frantically waving and yelling in your general direction while Amir scrambles to stop them. But alas it's already too late and you’re gazing down at the group, eyes specifically on Amir as you smile and wave. He wasn’t nervous before, not like he was playing anyway, but now… he felt like he had to do something. Make you proud. You had given him the idea to try football after all. You had all this faith in him.
He wasn’t feeling anything like this before. The bench was comfortable but he only grew more antsy as the minutes ticked on. Did he seriously invite you here to watch him twiddle his thumbs? Embarrassing. 
But with some perfect timing, he sees his coach beckon him over. His teammates push him off the bench when he takes a little too long to react and against all odds, he’s going on. His 45 minutes to shine. His eyes blur as he runs into position and forgets to look up for you but you’re visibly ecstatic. Your own friends are teasing you for how fond you were over him.
He was nervous beyond anything he could express but he did everything he could to channel that into his game. It felt like a make-or-break in more ways than one, that was for sure. 
It was like a dream. It felt so easy, almost too easy. It was as if… no. He was doing well. And he simply couldn’t believe it. The minutes flew by and he only got more and more confident. He couldn’t even bring himself to care when his teammates were wasting his chances. Because at the end of the day, they were still HIS chances. 5 of them on his debut + some solid dribbles and tackles wasn’t bad at all.
Sure, they had lost. And by a slightly embarrassing margin but all he really cared about was that HE had done well. He had to have impressed you and that was the only thing that was on his mind as he searched for you, finally being able to find you as you made your way over to him.
He could care less about his friends snickering and hollering as he made his own way over, marching towards you as quickly as he could without going into a full-on sprint. Although he was tempted.
He knew you were going to be proud of him but he certainly didn’t expect you to throw yourself at him for a hug. Nearly knocked him off his feet but he manages to recover quickly enough and wrap his arms around you lightly. 
“I knew you could do it, see! You were amazing out there!” oh god his heart was back to being in his throat so he has to choke out his next words.
“I mean it’s only my first game, could be a purple patch for all we know…” you detach yourself from the hug too soon for his liking.
“Absolutely not, you’re gonna go big soon I just know it!” 
Tumblr media
He thinks back to your words quite regularly. You couldn’t have had any idea at the time just how right you were. You sounded so delusional back then, like you were just telling him what he wanted to hear. 
But years on, he’s finally reached that growth spurt that he had been praying for all the time ago and he has an agent negotiating with multiple clubs for him. And the best part of it all was that you were still by his side, seeing the fruits of your delusions coming alive. Not a hint of surprise on your end, you were always so sure of him.
Perhaps the only downside was that in spite of his newfound confidence, he was still stuck in that friendship stage with you. He had gained a lot more *attention* over the years but he still only had eyes for you. You still made him so fucking nervous but he had gotten better at composing himself. He had even gotten a little flirty, now being the one to make you all nervous and blushy. And he revelled in every second of it.
“I have something for you!” he reveals as he catches up with you in the corridor. He’s clutching his jersey in his hands.
“Isn’t that going to be a little big on me?” you tease, still taking it from his hands as he rolls his eyes.
“Oh please! You would look amazing in anything, especially one of my jerseys.” he says matter-of-factly and you can only blush.
“You should wear it to my match on Sunday!” you narrow your eyes to challenge him before he elaborates.
“Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaase! It’ll be all the moral support I need. All you have to do is sit pretty!” He tries to bargain but he knows that you would always be there to support him no matter what. He would drop everything to do the same for you as well. 
The interaction doesn’t happen too far away from his friends' lockers and they’re all eager to know whether he’s finally made a solid move.
“Just making sure she’s coming on Sunday! You can calm down!” Amir rolls his eyes, refusing to make eye contact with anyone as he pretends to go through his locker.
“Is that your jersey in her hand?” 
“Yeah I mean she is my best friend, totally normal stuff.”
“Well it would be if you still weren’t madly in love with her. Dude, it's been 4 years. She liked you when you were 5’3 for fucks sake. What makes you think she's switched up when you’re pushing to 6’2?!” 
“Yeah, she sees me as a friend! No need to complicate things!”
“Whatever, man.”
Tumblr media
Even further on, more years later and somehow you’re still there supporting him. You had to do it from afar for a good while but the affection hadn’t died at all. You couldn’t be prouder of each other as you fulfilled your dreams. Time would bring you back together eventually, he was sure of that.
An excruciating couple of years apart but he was beyond grateful that he had you there, in person, to support him in the biggest moment in his career so far. Now all he had to do was win. Make the long flight and scheduling all worth your while. Something was also telling him that this would be his chance. He had been waiting for the right moment long enough and he just knew that winning today would be just the confidence boost he needed.
It seemed like a pretty easy task, they had flown through the tournament thus far like it was nothing. He was certainly on his best form and he had looked forward to an excited facetime call at the end of every victory. 
That didn’t feel as certain today though. Things were tough. Much tougher than previous matches and although the whole team were made aware of it before, it was still a shock to the system.
Even with every single white shirt turning into a defender trying to knock him down, trying to intimidate him, he only had one thing on his mind. He didn’t just want to win. He NEEDED to win. He’s been dreaming of the perfect moment for years. He brought you all the way over to Rabat to watch him just like old times. It was so close, he could taste it. 
All they needed was an equaliser. And when the equaliser finally came they needed one more goal to hit it home. Egypt’s best off the pitch, down to 10 men. They HAD to win it now. 
You were just as nervous as he was; heart in your throat, shaky hands. It was a moment you had seen him work his ass off for and you wanted nothing but success for him. An international trophy at 21 felt like the perfect climax to his career thus far. 
Although he had a very clear mind as to where he wanted to stand with you, you had resigned to the friendship role a long time ago. There was a point in time at which you really thought he liked you. Everyone did at the time but with all the girls after him and a lack of movement on his end, you supposed that you were maybe imagining things. Or even worse, that feelings had faded on his end. You didn’t like to consider that possibility at all, it made you sick to your stomach.
He still meant the world to you so of course you couldn’t let him go like that but you always looked back with disappointment. You told yourself that you were more than happy to be his friend, and that the feelings would eventually fade. Yet no other guy made you feel the way he did. No one ever compared to him. You cursed him for the way he raised your standards so high as a mere friend, for the way he always lingered in your mind as the one who got away. 
None of that mattered in the moment because the way the stadium erupted upon the much awaited 2nd goal to put Morocco in the lead. You could feel your eyes well up with tears. Only 15 minutes on the clock and your Amir would be crowned a champion. You always knew. Even if he didn’t, even when it felt so far-fetched and fictional you always knew. Your Amir, your superstar. 
The 15 minutes feel like 15 years and your heart doesn’t slow down in that time until you finally hear that whistle. The noise of the stadium has you almost dizzy and the welled up tears start cascading down your face as reality kicks in. Champions of Africa.
You don’t even have time to think before you start sprinting down the steps and towards the pitch, pass in hand so you could get in as quickly as possible. Amir is already looking around for you so he catches sight of you quickly and begins his sprint towards you too.
The collision is heavy but thankfully he’s strong enough and manages to catch you in his arms mid-jump. You bury your face in his neck as he spins you around. Your head is spinning when he puts you down so you’re grateful for the way he brings you in for another hug, feet on the ground this time. You can only breathe out in relief as you gently squeeze your arms around him and run your hands over the expanse of his back. He reciprocates with a squeeze of your waist and a small kiss to the top of your head.
“I guess you were right.” he laughs. You look up at him, a silent request to elaborate.
“About the whole ‘superstar’ thing, remember? I mean you’re the smartest person I know but telling the future?! You’re something else!” 
You go to respond until you’re interrupted.
“Oh so here’s the happy couple!” none other than the captain chimes in, throwing an arm over Amir as you break the hug.
“You know, Amir has told us all about you!” he tells you loudly and Amir’s eyes widen. You can only smile and blush a little at his implication. Abde only ever joked but the idea of you meaning something more to Amir put butterflies in your tummy.
“I’ve mentioned you a couple times.” he attempts to clarify, shaking his head dismissively.
“HA! That’s such a lie and you know it! He doesn’t shut up, he’s basically obsessed with you I swear-” Amir manages to get a hand over his mouth before he can reveal any more incriminating information.
He manages to drag Abde away and gets a chance to give you a quick hug and a kiss to your forehead as a goodbye before leaving to go with him, reminding you of where to go once the trophy ceremony was over. He puts a thumbs up as you yell a reminder to him to get a photo with the trophy. The locker room celebrations awaited him and they always took a good while. He knew you hadn’t eaten much so he hoped you could grab a little bite to eat while you were there.
Once you’re out of earshot and walking away, he takes his chance to scold his friend.
“Seriously, dude?!” 
“What?! I thought I could speed things up, you can’t let this shit drag on forever, you’re only gonna start resenting each other and grow old and miserable. This is boring as fuck, just man up and tell her because it’s so obvious that you’re made for eachother it’s funny!” Abde shakes his head, walking off and jumpscaring another fellow teammate. Stupid antics aside, the captain had some wise words about him, Amir had to admit. His doubts still lingered and he still felt a desire to preserve the friendship he had built with you, keep it safe from anything and everything that could jeopardise it.
You were proud beyond words. The tears came quickly as you watched him receive his gold medal. You had seen him every step of the way. And even though you didn’t know it, you were the reason he picked the damn sport in the first place. His true passion and calling. Amidst the pride and joy, you still felt a pang in your heart. Years of supporting each other and the idea of your love being limited to a friendship hurt. You caught the way he used to look at you quite often. You, yourself, genuinely believed that he liked you yet years on and one giant growth spurt later, you wondered whether maybe he had lost interest along the way; with his newfound confidence and much larger dating pool. Some of those girls were true stunners and you made it a point to never stare as he conversed with them. It would only break your heart. The real shame was that if you had looked, you would see him reject them as kindly as he could. You would see them walk away slightly peeved and you would see him looking right back at you. Because even with everything that had happened, it still was and would always be you. But your attempts at hiding away and protecting yourself prevented you from seeing the obvious. 
Your back is to him when he comes to find you. The locker room celebrations finally over. He tried his best to not show his impatience in the locker room but they all knew. So he was not-so-forcefully kicked out so he could go to the one person he actually wanted to be around. 
He’s glad to see you eating and looking lively as you talked with some of the other family members that were there. He takes a moment to get a proper look at you while you still hadn’t noticed him. You were only wearing one of his jerseys and some baggy jeans but you still looked angelic to him. He knew you were tired beyond belief, your head probably pounding from the noise of the stadium but you still found it within yourself to smile with your eyes and light up the room like he’d always known you to do. Exhausted but still made those around you smile and chuckle. Your energy and beauty was apparent no matter what and he couldn’t get enough of you. His perception of you hadn’t changed since he was a kid, in fact they had probably only intensified. Even when he had girls fawning over him, his own friends telling him that he was now within your league he still felt so unworthy. Every glance in his direction, every smile, every word spoken, text sent felt like a Godsend. Come to think of it, he never really let himself think like this before, he pushed it away for the sake of preserving the friendship. So he could keep you in the only way he felt he deserved. 
At that very moment, the idea of staying only as your friend sounded like a version of hell. He needed more. All of a sudden, the urge to confront his feelings for you head on had grown stronger. He LOVED you. He wasn’t sure how he had managed to push the reality away for so long but it was so clear now. And you needed to know. 
He makes his way over, slightly speed-walking because he feared he would lose his nerve if he waited even a minute longer. It takes a little tap on your shoulder for you to finally notice him and the people you were talking to take it as their sign to walk away as you turn around. You immediately wrap your arms around him in a tight hug with your head on his chest. He hoped to god you couldn’t feel the way it was hammering away. You could tell when he was nervous without that but he hoped that somehow you hadn’t picked up on it this once. He reciprocates with the same love and enthusiasm, lifting you up slightly as you squeal. You don’t seem to be letting go of the hug any time soon so he opts to whisper in your ear.
“Can we talk somewhere quieter?” you reluctantly remove your head from his chest as you look up at him, slight concern in your eyes.
“Everything okay?” he nods vigorously, unravelling himself from your arms, holding your hand gently as he guides you away to a quiet balcony. 
It felt like destiny here. The cool, crisp air. Clear night sky, stars twinkling and the moon radiant as ever. It was a beautiful scene but you were still the one he couldn’t keep his eyes off of. He takes a second to get one more proper look at you before he begins.
He takes both of your hands in his and you now feel your heart starting to beat faster. You look down at where their intertwined as a way of avoiding those bambi eyes of his. The way yours looked so much smaller in his. The warmth soothing your cold fingertips and the nails that you had manicured the night before, much to his dismay.
“You’ve been there since I could barely kick a ball, you know?” he squeezes your hands gently, a small smile on his face as he recalls your first encounter. You finally look up at him, giving him a small cute one in return.
“You told me I was going to make it big even then, how did you know?”
“Entuition and delusion, love.” you joke and he chuckles a little, dropping his head down to calm himself before finally getting his confession out.
“It feels kind of like a soulmate thing, you know?” 
“Well yeah we’re best friends for life, aren’t we?”
“Sure but I was thinking of a different kind of soulmate…”
“I don’t follow…”
“I love you, in a soulmate way. You’ve been the light of my life since all the way back then and that hasn’t changed now. It just feels like we’re not just supposed to be best friends, you know?”
“Amir please…”
“I’m in love with you. Like pathetically and hopelessly in love. I don’t think I can do ‘just best friends’ anymore because I’ve always seen you beyond that…” he physically couldn’t get anymore words out so he hoped that would do and he could feel his heart ready to burst from his chest as he waited for your response.
The silence was loud, all-encompassing, almost suffocating and it felt like time had stopped as you tried to figure out what to say. He could see the cogs turning in your mind yet he had no idea what kind of reply awaited him. 
He’s perhaps a little too far in his own head because all of a sudden he feels one of your hands leave his and make its way to the back of his head. He was still trying to process things so his vision was all a blur. The next thing he feels is the greatest surprise. A soft pair of lips on his, like flower petals. Delicate and smooth and so so sweet and addicting. He freezes for a second, asking himself whether this was reality or not. It felt like one of his dreams, his mind was floating as the joy overtook him.
The hand still intertwined with yours lets go and find purchase on your waist, giving a light squeeze as he returns the kiss. It was so soft and gentle that it almost felt as if you weren’t there. Feathlight, perhaps still a little uncertain so he leans forward to deepen it. It was definitely real. He was still floating but it was real. And he couldn’t be more excited.
You take your time with the kiss, doing everything you could to make the moment last and you only part for breath, faces still only a few centimetres away.
“I love you too…” you whisper, still slightly breathless and panting from the previous events. You can only look into his eyes for a second before getting shy and hiding your head under his chin again. 
“Your heart is going at like 80 a minute you know? You should get it checked out.” you joke and he gently pinches your side.
“Can you blame me?” You both laugh together, content in each other's arms, staring out at the Rabat skyline and admiring the twinkling stars.
The moment is interrupted by an audience that Amir maybe should have expected. Of course his teammates arrive to finally witness it.
“It took you lovebirds long enough goddamn! Thought we would be stuck listening to him droning on for years to come, fucking idiot.” Abde shakes his head while the others cackle. You can only blush while Amir gives them as stern a look as he could manage. 
They finally leave after a couple more minutes of them berating him for waiting this long and your small breathy laughs turn into full-on giggles as you learn the true extent of his love. Looking back, you had both been a bit stupid. So scared of nothing when things were so blatantly obvious. But better late than never, you supposed. You finally had each other. You didn’t have time to think about the wasted years as you looked forward to what was ahead. Mutual feelings out in the open: shared passions and desire, a level of love and respect that spanned 8 beautiful years, excitement for the future. As if Amir’s night couldn’t get any better he finally had the prize he had been wanting from the very beginning. His CAN trophy and medal were great but he finally had you. Not just a best friend but a lover. 
You stay in your places for a while, continuing to admire the sky before turning to look at each other again. You narrow your eyes at the cheeky smile that makes its way onto his face.
“What are you looking at?” he doesn’t say a word, taking your breath away with yet another, slightly more desperate kiss which you’re quick to reciprocate. You both smile into it as you soak in the relief of the moment. Years of pining and he was finally yours, your superstar.
Tumblr media
Again, very long overdue lmfao. I know the Amir hype has died down significantly since the U23 CAN but i still adore him so i hope u guys like this too <3

*Thing goes around Nevermore to look for Enid, but runs into Ajax & Xavier instead*
Xavier: "Oh hi Thing. How's Wednesday?"
Thing: *on a mission, doesn't have the time to talk* *signs* "She's fine"
Xavier: "Can I see her?"
Thing: *stops dead in his tracks* *signs* "No- It's probably best if she just gets some rest"
Xavier: *disappointed*
Ajax: "Woah, what happened to Wednesday?"
Xavier: "We found her unconscious in the woods"
Ajax: "Oh- Is Enid ok?"
Xavier: "Yeah. She ended up carrying Wednesday back to Nevermore, with my help of course"
Thing: *look of bitch really?*
Ajax: "Woah. Enid is really cool."
Thing: *signs* "speaking of Enid, have you seen her or know where she is?"
Xavier: "No. We were actually looking for her now because Ajax here wants to ask her out"
Ajax: "Dude, shut up! I don't want to jinx it"
Thing: *signs* "ask her out to study?"
Ajax: *embarrassed* "Ask her out on a date"
Thing: *oh shit*
Xavier: "So if you find her first, can you tell her that Ajax wants to talk to her? But if we find her first, we'll tell her that you're also looking for her"
Thing: *now desperately needs to find Enid before them* *signs* "yeah sure. I better hurry so I can find her quicker. bye"

any hcs for ajax (cod: ghosts)
I initially was going to do the "3 pros, 3 cons" thing. But I haven't seen very much content for Ajax, so here's a whole list of random SFW HCs for him.
Alex "Ajax" Johnson SFW Headcanons
| Blog HQ | Call of Duty: Ghosts Masterlist |
TW for some mentions of overthinking, arachnophobia, vague mentions to the latest Stranger Things season finale
Comes off as calm, cool confident but in all honestly overthinks damn near everything
"He's a natural, almost too natural" Hesh commented, arms crossed over his chest. Watching as the man continued light conversation with the barista making their drinks.
The brothers standing off to the side, watching as their friend managed to get them free banana bread slices with his smooth talking. Smiling politely and thanking the barista for their time.
With excited expressions, the younger men began asking for tips and tricks. Still in awe of how cool he was during the interaction.
Eyebrows raising in surprise, Ajax nodded along. Listening to the praise being fed to him. Forcing down the thoughts that he came off too strong and made the poor worker uncomfortable. 
'They have enough people to deal with, and probably a lot of creeps but have to be nice to everyone. They had to be trying to usher him out of there and dropped some hints asking me to stop. Like that awkward half laugh, oh I overdid it. Shit'
"Playing it by ear is key, boys" Ajax laughed, taking a bite of his food. Hoping that it was given in good spirits and not a desperate attempt to make him leave.
Major acrophobia. "Ya'll are killing the spider"
A shrill scream caused you to jump, rushing into the other room. Grabbing a broom on the way as a mock-up weapon.
Eyes scanning the room, your brows furrowing in confusion as there was no obvious danger. Just Ajax in the corner, pressing himself against the wall as he lightly chuckled at you.
"Hey, how've you been" he asked smoothly, one hand rubbing the back of his neck. Eyes cast down to one specific spot on the floor. You followed his gaze, focusing on a small black spot.
It couldn't be.
"Was, was all that because of a spider?" You initially laughed, jumping back as the bug moved toward you. "Shit. Elias!" You called, broom dropped and teammate abandoned.
Binge watcher. Him and Keegan watched an entire season of Stranger Things in one night once.
"Are….are you crying, dude?" Ajax snorted, receiving a glare in return. The two men finishing off the latest season of Stranger Things.
"No. I'm just enjoying the heartfelt reunion and cliffhanger. Are you crying?" Keegan muttered, shifting further into his spot. Eyes trained on the screen, as his friend continued staring over at him, eyes lit up with amusement.
Guilty pleasure that he won't let anyone know (minus Logan, who accidentally found out and they bonded) but loves rom coms.
[ 1:33AM ]
[ SAN DIEGO ]
Laying in the dark, eating handfuls of chips slowly as he silently urged the two characters to finally admit their feelings for one another. Sighing heavily at the obvious attraction they were both oblivious to.
"They really should've made a season 2" Ajax all but jumped out of his seat at the quiet voice from behind him. Scrambling for the remote to shut off the TV, keeping his guilty pleasure mostly hidden.
Shrugging at the younger male, "Logan, why are you awake?"
"I'm not judging. I love Oran High School Host Club, put it back on" Logan urged, slipping down onto the other side of the couch. Settling back into the cushions. 
Arguably the best passenger princess of all the Ghosts.
A carefully curated playlist filtering through the speakers, your group drove out to the lake lot the Walker family owned for the weekend. 
"Alex, what do you got for snacks up there?" You asked, peering up from your phone. Situated in the backseat with Keegan and Kick.
"Would you prefer sour, sweet or salty?" He started, sifting through one of the many insulated bags at his feet. 
A Nintendo Switch kind of guy. Especially the Zelda games. He's been playing them since childhood, and still has the gold cartridge Legend of Zelda NES game.
Rocking lightly on his feet, he eagerly waited in line. Game in hand, impatient to start playing it the moment he got home.
"Is this everything for you sir?" The cashier asked, noticing the 8 bit design on the man's wallet. Commenting on how they thought it was interesting.
"It is, thank you. Can't wait to play, I've been pretty into Zelda since I was a kid" Ajax smiled, focusing on the machine in front of him as the two fell into conversation about modern gaming vs retro gaming.
Retro gaming came out on top overall.
If you're dating, he gives the sweetest gifts. More into DIY than store-bought.
A jar was placed in front of you, inside contained multiple colours of folded up paper. Eyebrow raised, you opened the lid and pulled a light blue star out.
Heart melting as you unfolded the paper; seeing a small note about when the two of you first met. Jar and note placed to the side, you launched yourself onto the man. Feeling him chuckle as he held you close; whispering about how much he loved you, and felt so blessed that he could call you his.
Does the "huh?" then promptly answers thing.
"Hey, Alex. What time is that movie you wanted to go to tonight?" You called from the bathroom, to your fiancé laying on the bed. 
"Huh?" He started, phone dropped on the bed beside him. Right as you were about to repeat the question - "it's at 6:45, so I figure if we get there by 6:20, 6:30 we should have enough time to buy snacks and find our seats"
BLANKET HOG
Blinking awake, you sighed. Body shivering as you became aware of the cold air settling around you. Hand feeling around for the blanket, you grew increasingly confused as your search came back unsuccessful.
Rolling over, you groaned. Seeing your boyfriend cocooned in the shared quilt, sleeping rather soundly. 
Pulling at the material, you pouted. He had it wrapped taught to his body, leaving your tired limbs very little chance at unraveling it. Another tired sigh escaped your lips as you pushed yourself from the mattress, grabbing your own blanket from the closet.
