Sacrificial lamb and all that
#baby baby baby#He said :(#and#he said ☹️#The way Kreese stared at him and hovered like a hungry wolf ready to pounce the whole time#the way Johnny tried not to cry and sweat and went straight into the arms of his predator like he has for YEARS#because he’d been literally in Kreese’s hands. Given to him and left with him. for YEARS.#And the way he stared up at him so desperate and melted into his grasp#let him swipe his hurting nose and obeyed when he made him do something he didn’t want to#because who else does he have. And his mom wasn’t there. and he had to go home with bruises all over him and no one#to Sid. to be mocked and laughed at some more. to cry all alone in his bed thinking about how the man he trusted and loved hurt him#And I think Kreese was more jealous. murderously so. that Johnny clearly wanted to be on good terms with LaRusso rather than so mad he lost#and by the time he realized he went too far and he lost his little champion—whom he ‘loves most besides CK’—he decided to get revenge on#Miyagi and Daniel. because it’s THEIR fault he did that to johnny in the first place. he hates them both with a passion. HE was humiliated#in front of his boy and the rest of the cobras by Miyagi. and Daniel…he changed Johnny. he practically took him away from Kreese.#Man is delusional cause that’s 10000% how he sees things#and GOD the way he begs Johnny to come back in ck. and then hurt him more because ‘thats what was best for him’#and Johnny moves away from his touch and stares at him like an abused animal but still lets him stay#because he still loves him despite everything#he knows Kreese is in his own reality and does love him. but he realized his worth to an extent#realized its not okay for Kreese to have done all those things to him#and brainwashed him#and he was being victim blamed the whole time Kreese came back to cobra kai#I cant.#I’m SCREAMING. everything was taken from him but it was his fault because he ‘shouldnt have let Kreese come back’#Only unobservant idiots ignore the fact that he was abused his whole life just so they can hate on him constantly.#johnny lawrence#cobra kai#karate kid#Still love Kreese though

Tumblr media
*********************************
After spending the night together, and losing her virginity to someone who was worth enough to take it.
John, and Kate spent the last few hours getting to know each other.
Curled up in bed, side by side.
His arms wrapped around her waist.
“So you’re never told me about your life before moving here” he says in her ear. Kissing the crook of her neck. 
“I lived in Jackson, Wyoming, I was born in Phoenix, Arizona, I attended the University of Wyoming for 4 in a half years” she says as John kisses the crook, and the nape of her neck.
He stops, looks at her in slight confusion and asks “How old are you?”.
“I’ll be 20 in August” she answers.
“You were 16 when you started college?!” he asks.
“I was 15 when I went to college. I lied about my age to get a head start, my aunt and grandmother helped me out with that” she says.
He chuckles, and asks, “What are you studying?” before going back to work on her neck.
“Psychology” she moans, as his kisses get slower, and more sensational. 
“So? What about you?” she asks, turning on her other side to face him.
“What about me?” he asks, with a side smirk.
“I told you about my life. So it’s your turn” she says, “Like for example your scars”.
She says as she traces the Sloth scar on his chest.
He stares off into space for a bit, not wanting to scare her off about his life with the Duncans, and how they treated him.
“You uh- you don’t wanna know” he says, his voice trembling. 
Guessing his life wasn’t good growing up. She regrets asking him about the scars, seeing the sadness in his perfect blue eyes. Hesitating but wanting to be honest with him. 
“My dad died in a house fire when I was 6 months old, I never got to know him” Kate says, to make him feel better, “I was mainly raised by my older sister whenever my mom wasn’t around. When I was 13 my sister, and I were taken away from her and, when she turned 18 she left to look for our mom. Leaving me by myself in Jackson. I was surrounded by hunters growing up, my whole family hunters. Every single one of them. I’ve witnessed people that I cared about, people that I loved, dying over, and over again, because they wanted to protect me, and I let them because they knew I wanted to live a normal life.”
John looks at her with furrowed eyebrows, “Hunters? Like deer?, bears?”
Forgetting that John isn’t a hunter of the supernatural, and doesn’t know that of lifestyle.
She nods her head, “Yeah. Yeah, rival hunters. We had our fair share of them in Wyoming. They hated my family. Completely loathed them”. 
John takes a deep breath, “Well, my adopted parents would beat me” he starts off, “One night, they took me into the kitchen, and they threw me on the ground, and I experienced pain, after pain after pain, after pain. I looked up at them, and I started to laugh. I wasn’t scared, I was” he stops for a moment, “Clear”. 
He goes into detail about what his adopted parents did to him growing up, how he came to inherit their money after their deaths. Becoming a lawyer, and when he reconnected with his brothers.
He stops talking, his breathing turns heavy, and he sits up on the bed. 
He buries his face into his hands, soft sobbing coming from him. His breathing trembling with every gasp of breath he takes.
Kate sits up, and comforts him. Resting her head on his shoulder, gently rubbing his back in small circular motions.
“It's okay” she whispers, “You don’t have to tell me”.
Planting kisses on his shoulder, comforting him. Now she’s really regretting asking him about the scars. She feels like a total bitch.
He moves his hands away from his face, tears in his eyes, the whites red.
“I never went into detail about what they did to me to anyone. Because who would believe a good looking, rich pretty boy whose parents gave him everything, and still put pain, and trauma on him” he says, not looking at her.
“I would” she says, looking at him while resting her head on his shoulder, “I would’ve believed you”. Running her fingers through his hair, fixing it. 
He looks over at her, his eyes still red, and glossy from crying.
She wraps her arms around him, holding him tightly. He sinks into her arms, resting his head against hers.
“I don’t deserve you” he says, not looking at her, “You deserve better than me”.  
She glances down at him, shaking her head, “No. No I don’t. We’re fine like this”.
Tightening her embrace around him, laying him back onto the bed.
Laying at his side, kissing the crook of his neck. 
John tilts his head up to give her better access. 
“Like you said. We’re meant to be together” she says, leaving a trail of kisses down to his chest.
He shakes his head, “I don’t think so anymore”. Starting to doubt Joseph’s words, and his own feelings for Kate. 
Kate was having second thoughts herself about getting with John, that’s why she ran away after their flying date. But she reassured herself about it, and wanted to stay with him, but with the whole cleansing thing she wasn’t so sure, and now she understands why he is the way he is.
Her sister would yell at her calling her stupid for staying with him.
Straddling his hips, he looks up at her, eyes raised, “What are you doing?!?” he asks, some lust and confusion in his voice.
“I just want to show you what you mean to me” she says, grinding against him.
He groans slowly, throwing his dead back at her movements.
“I will prove it to you” she says, kissing his chest, and going down to his stomach.
His hand on her head, pushing her down further. She knows what he wants, and she’s gonna give it to him.
Kissing his hip bones, going down further his hard cock brushes her nose. 
Without even thinking, or giving John time to prepare. She wraps her lips around his cock, tongue swirling the tip. 
A raspy groan escapes the back of his throat, his fingers tangled in her hair.
“Ooh Kate” he moans, pushing her head down, making her gag. 
Bobbing her head on his cock, her tongue swirling the tip down.
Her left hand cupping his cock, her other hand playing with his balls. 
John holds her hand in place, thrusting himself in her mouth.
Tears forming in Kate’s eyes, breathing through her nose.
Choking on his erect cock. Throat fucking her.
“Fuck!!” he pants, “Fuck!!”.
Sucking, and swirling her tongue around his cock. Trying to get all of him in her mouth.
He continues to moan her name, and she finds it very fucking hot.
“Kate” he moans, “Aww Kate”. Bucking his hips up.
She feels his cock twitch in the back of her throat.
“I’m coming” he moans, “I’m coming”.
Pushing her head down with both hands, the tip of him hitting her uvula, making her gag once more.
“Kate. Kate, baby” he moans, “I’m coming”. 
Followed by a desperate whine escaping his throat. Holding the back of her head to keep her still.
Then he releases his hot seed down her throat, some of it getting on her chin.
Gagging on his tasteless cum, trying to lift her head up, but he holds her head for a few more seconds. 
Both of them sweaty, hot messes, and panting heavily.
He pulls her back up to him, and kisses her. Tasting himself in her mouth.
“So that’s what I taste like?!” he jokes, panting, before pulling her in for another filthy open mouth kiss. 
As they’re making out on the bed, Kate’s phone starts to vibrate aggressively.
An incoming call from Morgan.
John’s about to go down on her when she notices her phone.
“John. John, Johnny, hold on” she says, stopping him from doing anything else.
He moves himself away from between her legs.
“What?!?” he asks, confused as to why she stopped him.
She sits up, grabs her phone from the table, and answers it.
“Hello?!?” she asks.
“Kate where are you?!?” a frantic Morgan asks.
“I’m with John” she answers.
“Why didn’t you pick up your phone, or reply to any of their messages?!?” she asks
Stammering over her words, “What?!? Who’s messages?!? What’s going on?!?”. 
“They were attacked!!!!” she says.
“Who was attacked?!?” Kate asks.
“The group!! Our friends!! They were attacked last night at their campsite!!!” she says.
“What?!?” she exclaims, sitting up on the bed, “By who?!?”.
“I think it was that demon from the other day” Morgan says softly.
“Oh fuck” Kate says under her breath, “Fuck, fuck, fuck”.
“Katie what’s wrong?!?” John asks, concern in his voice.
“Shir, okay, okay. I’ll be over there soon” she says, pitching the bridge of her nose, and hangs up her voice.
“Katella what happened?!?” John asks again, gently touching her shoulder.
She sighs, and says “My friends, they were attacked last night on their camping trip”.
She gets up from the bed, and puts on her clothes.
“Do you need a ride?!” he asks, putting his pants on.
“Yeah, that would be great” she answers, putting on her flannel.
They get dressed, John takes Kate home, when they arrive she immediately asks Morgan.
“So where are we going first?!?”.
Morgan who is putting some supplies in her dufflebag. 
“We’re going to the clinic first, then we’re going to their campsite” she says.
“Do they know what animal it was?!” John asks, who is standing at the doorway.
Morgan, and Kate exchanged glances. 
“Probably a small bear, or a wolverine” Morgan answers.
Kate who can’t keep lying, and trying to hide the fact that REAL monsters exist.
“I’m sorry Morg, but I have to tell him the truth” she says, her voice in distress. 
“Tell me what?!?” he asks, his eyes going back and forth from both girls.
Kate turns to face John, who is taking a few steps towards her.
“Katie? Tell me what?!” he asks again.
“John, there is no easy way to say this. Believe me or not but” she takes a deep breath, “But my friends were attacked by a demon last night”.
John furrows his eyebrows at her. “What?!?” he asks, confused.
“A demon. A minion of Hell. Lucifer’s servants, and all of those names. A few days ago, Morgan, and I were investigating some mutilated cattle carcasses, and we had an encounter with a demon. His name is Saleos, and I know he did this. I wanted to leave that life behind but it followed me here.”
He looks at her like she’s crazy, “I still don’t understand?!!?” he says.
“What I told you this morning, about how I’ve lost people that I care about, people that I loved. That’s because of monsters that I’ve hunted. Demons, vampires, ghosts, all that shit you see in movies, and tv shows. They all exist!!”.
She’s about to explain more to him, when Morgan intervends, “Kate you can explain everything to John later. But now we have to go see our friends at the clinic, and then check out the site”.
They grab their stuff, taking Haley with them, Kate kisses John goodbye, before they leave Kate says to him, “In my room on my bookshelf by my bed, I have several books on what I just explained to you, when I come back I’ll tell you everything”.
Then they leave in Kate’s car to the Hope County medical clinic in the west part of Holland Valley. 
John goes to Kate’s room, opening the door and trips on a huge bag of rock salt.
“What the?!? Salt?!?” he says.
He looks over at the bookshelf next to her bed, and sees several books.
Book of the Damned, several books on Witchcraft, and Spells, a journal that her father wrote about different types of monsters he had encountered. 
Several other books on banishing demons, ghosts, and several other entities. 
But one there’s one item that really catches John’s eye.
A small black wooden box on the floor next to her bookshelf.
He opens the small trunk, and sees a piece of stone that has some ancient hieroglyph written on it. He picks it up.
Little does he know he’s holding an Angel tablet, the Word of God.
Kate was helping her older cousins translate the symbols on the damn thing, but she always got a very bad headache trying to translate it. So she gave up on it, and kept the tablet safe until her cousins retrieved it from her. 
He puts the tablet back in the trunk, closing it.
********************************************
Kate, and Morgan make it to the clinic, and rush inside. Leaving Haley in the car. 
They immediately see Sarah, Ryan and all of their friends laying in beds.
“Hey, hey guys!!” Morgan says, rushing to her friend's side.
 “What happened?!?” Kate asks, looking at the patched up wounds on all her friends.
“The dude said he knew you” Dylan says to her, laying in bed behind her.
“What dude?!?!” she asks him.
“Salas? Solomon? Whatever his fucking name was!!” he says.
“Saleos?” Morgan asks.
“Yeah that fucker” Alissa says, from across the room.
“He said he knew you Kate, and that Crowley sends his regards or some bullshit like that!!” she says.
Kate goes immediately pale, eyes widened.
“Oh shit” she says under her breath, they all look at her.
“Kate? Who was that man?!?” Sarah asks.
“I have to tell them” she says to Morgan.
“You told John already!! He looked at you like you were crazy!!” she says to her.
“John?!?” Ryan asks.
“Her boyfriend” Morgan says, “John Seed”.
“John Seed?!?” Kevin yells, scaring Kate and Morgan.
“You’re dating that sadistic fucker?!?” Ryan asks.
Kate nods her head in slight shame, “Yeah. Yeah I am”
“She’s planning on breaking up with him anyway!!” Morgan says, defending her friend.
“So where were you guys set up?!?” she asks. 
“We were set up a mile and half from the Wellington residence” Becky says.
“Okay, we’ll go check it out” Kate says, leaving the room. 
She heads back to the car, Morgan following behind.
Kate sighs, “Let’s go to the campsite”, and they drive off down the road.
************************************
John flips through the books on Kate’s shelf. 
Other than books on monsters, demons and Witchcraft.
She has her school books, 10 books on Psychology, human anatomy, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and several other books on pop culture, and Psychology.
The book he gave her the other day.
As he goes to grab another off the shelf, and a brown leathery notebook falls off as he pulls a book off of it. 
It lands on a page that catches his eye, he picks it up and reads it. 
August 1998
“Mandy gave birth to our second daughter, her name is Katella Evyanna.
Born at 7:42am. 7 pounds, 8 ounces. Phoenix, Arizona.
I wanted to name her Sasha Georgia, but she didn’t like that name and Paige agreed.
The 3 year old agreed that the name for her little sister wasn't as good as Katella.
Paige is very excited about meeting her new baby sister.
I wanted to name Paige, Dawn Mercedes, but again Mandy didn’t like it, so Paige Hannah became her name.
A smile grows on John’s face, he flips to the next page, and sees a photo of a toddler Paige holding an infant Kate.
September 1998 written on the back.
****************************************
Kate and Morgan arrive at their friends campsite.
The fire is still going, their tents still put up and ripped, probably by wild animals.
“This must be the place” Kate says, getting out of the car.
They check out the area, Morgan pulls out an EMF meter checking for any demon, or spirit energy.
“So, what did you and John do?!” she asks, while checking for energies. 
Stammering over her words, “We uh. We just hung out at his Gate”.
Morgan looks back at her, “You had sex didn’t you?!?”.
Kate nods her head, “Yeah”.
“Was he your first?!” she asks.
Kate doesn’t respond back, “Yeah he was” Morgan says nodding her head.
Haley barks at something. They got to check it out, and it's a body.
“Oh shit!!!” Morgan exclaims pointing at the dead body of the man “It’s Saleos!!!”.
“But, but if he’s here?!?. Then that means?!” Kate trails off, and they both look at each other in unison. 
“Didn’t Saleos mention John when we encountered him?!?” Morgan asks.
Their eyes widened in realization, “John” Kate mutters, and they run to the car.
Morgan drives, and Kate in the passenger as she calls John who is back at his ranch house.
His phone rings a few times, but goes to voicemail.
“Fuck!!!” she mutters, “He might be at the house still”.
They pull into the driveway, and race inside the house.
“John?!?!” she yells out.
She goes to her room, sees that her books were rearranged, and no sign of John Seed. 
“Morgan!?!?!” she calls out.
“Yeah?!?” she responds. 
“John’s gone!!”, she says as she goes back into the living room, “I think he went back to his house”.
Kate goes to grab her gun, along with her demon killing bullets, rock salt bullets, holy water, and salt.
“You stay here. I’ll go to John’s house” she says, Morgan nods, “I’ll ward off the house”.
Kate gets back into her car, and drives to John’s house.
She gets a call from him, and she immediately answers it.
“Hey!!” she says.
“Darlin, we need to talk about what you said earlier” he says.
“Yeah I know. I’m on my way to your house, I’ll see you in a bit” she says hanging up.
**************************
John sets his phone down on the kitchen counter, and sighs.
Waiting for Kate to arrive, he grabs the tattoo needle he uses for atoning off the counter.
He doesn’t notice the black smoke flowing through the air vent behind him.
He sets the needle down, and goes to grab something from the cupboards. 
When he turns around that's when he sees the black fog.
“What in the-” he gets cut off as the black smoke forces itself into his body.
One second his eyes are the perfect blue that they are, then the next they’re completely blackened before going back to being normal. 
Kate pulls up to the property, and runs inside the house.
“John?!?” she yells out, and he steps inside the main room she’s in.
“Okay, let me explain everything that I said to you this morning, and before I left” she says, as she goes into the kitchen.
He follows her into the kitchen, and as she’s about to explain she notices he’s acting differently.
“Umm?. John are you okay?!” she asks, her eyebrows quirked.
“Yes, Kate I’m fine” he responds, looking at her seductively while walking along the counter towards her. 
She pulls her pistol out of its holster, and aims at him, “You’re not John”.

Feel free to read it as a different holiday if you want!! I promise part 2 is coming!!!

He reached out for her every way he could, but only in his darkest moments could she ever be found.
Genre: Mostly fluff a little angst at the beginning.

Tumblr media
She had never had a full family Thanksgiving someone was always gone. When her father was still in their lives, before he'd packed his bags and run out screaming "I'm your soulmate I have to love you, but that doesn't mean I have to stay," at their mother, he was busy with work and very rarely made it home in time for dinner, working as a manager in a large company didn't give you a lot of time at home. After he left their mother had spent every Thanksgiving out on the town drowning sorrows until the year she threw herself off a building and her eldest sibling, her sister, spent the day outside of the house, she'd been around when the whole family was together and it hurt her too much to know he was gone and not because he was busy at work making money to keep food on their table. After her mother threw herself off of the top of a building her sister really stopped coming around and so did the elder of her two brothers. For years now it had only been her, Taeyong, and their aunt seated around the table, but most years she didn't mind. Thanksgiving was a time to be grateful and grateful she was for what she had. She was grateful one of her siblings stuck around and loved her, thankful for the food on the table, and her aunt who even with all her flaws had still raised them well and made an effort to be sober for at least a little bit of the day and made them the dinner that sat before them. So Thanksgiving still remained one of her favorite holidays, it reminded her who truly cared and reminded her that even though she'd lost so much, she still had a whole lot left.
He remembered a time when his whole family was gathered around the table. When his father would carve the turkey and his mother would smile and laugh. He remembered the sparkle in her eyes when she looked at his father and the gentle way they held hands while they ate. He remembered happy days and love, but even now that all that was gone he still had a lot to be thankful for. He was grateful he was still alive and that his mother was too. He was thankful that they still had each other and that she always took the day off from work even if she only took the day to sleep. He still loved Thanksgiving if only because it reminded him that they still had each other and she loved him even if she had a hard time showing it these days. He spent most Thanksgivings with his neighbors and some of their friends who were far from home this time of year attending university and unable to go home for the short break. He always invited his mother and sometimes she came and sometimes she didn't.
This year was one of the ones she didn't. "Mom, Taeil and his sister invited me over again, do you want to come?" He asked her gently this morning when she came into the kitchen to get some coffee.  
"Not this time honey," She replied groggily and started to pour herself some coffee, but with shaking hands that wasn't a great idea. He walked over to her and helped her pour herself a cup. "Thank you, Honey," She said as he handed the cup over to her.
"No problem mom, did you want me to stay home this year, I can make us something and we can spend the day together?" He suggested softly as she took a sip of coffee.
"No, Honey, you should go have fun, don't let this old Debbie Downer bring you down with her, you're still young you should be enjoying life not taking of me like this," His mom replied and he could see the tears in her eyes as she took another sip of coffee. 
"Mom, it's no problem really, I'd love to spend the day with you," He added softly stepping closer to her, she backed away. 
"No, it's better if you spend less time here..." She replied turning away from him.
"Mom," He began and took another step towards her.
"Honey, please, it's better this way," She replied and he sighed and frowned at the older woman who he loved dearly. Her hair was graying and looked like pepper from all the stress she'd been putting herself under, her appearance haggard and worn out in every way. 
"Mom, I know you didn't mean it, it's ok, you're just hurting and alcohol can bring out the worst in us," He said softly, knowing full well that all of this was guilt for what she'd done. "I love you, mom." 
"I know honey, but that doesn't make it ok, I shouldn't have hit you at all much less treat you like I did, so go have fun with Taeil and his sister and their friends, I'll be fine," She replied turning to face him again and putting down her mug to reach out to him. He took her hands in his and pulled her into a gentle hug.
"Ok, I'll go, but not until I've made you some food," He replied and then ushered her out of the kitchen so he could get to work. 
Once he'd finished making her a small meal he put it in the fridge for her to enjoy later and then walked over to his neighbor's house where he was greeted by Taeil who ushered him in kindly and proceeded to introduce him to everyone gathered there. He, of course, knew a few from past years, but Taeil had this habit of adopting people and so the group always grew and only shrunk after members got married or graduated and moved away. Some of the familiar faces were Sicheng or as everyone called him WinWin because he was a star and everyone knew it, everything about him was wonderful and well a win, he was from China and had started coming the second year, he'd been invited by Yuta, WinWin's soulmate from Japan who'd been here since the beginning as it was too hard to get home for Thanksgiving, Johnny the reason this even existed, he'd gotten sad one year when he realized he wasn't going to be able to go home for Thanksgiving and so Taeil had been putting this together ever since, Kun, another one from China whose first year had been last year and finally Ten a dance major from Thailand who like Yuta and Johnny had been here since the beginning. Amongst the new faces were Mark a new transfer student from Canada who'd likely be coming to these every year from now on, Lucas, another student from China who had been invited by Ten this year, and Chenle Taeil's sister's soulmate and yet another student from China, the two of them Chenle and Taeil's sister had yet to enter University but attended the same high school in the area, the very one he himself used to attend until recently him being just a bit older than the pair.
Thanksgiving was one of the few days where she and Taeyong didn't have to wake their aunt, she'd already been up getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner and nursing a hangover while she did it. So they'd help her and it always got messy one way or another. This year Taeyong started a food fight with the stuffing. It had begun with a mocking comment from his sister which he retaliated to with a handful of stuffing. She had responded with a comment about how immature he was and he'd responded with another fistful of stuffing... So, she'd grabbed the food item nearest her, which happened to be cranberry sauce and dumped it on his head before mashing it down into his hair.
"You jerk!" He'd proclaimed as some of it began to slide down his face. Then he'd grabbed the entire bowl of stuffing and started moving towards her. She ran. He followed chasing her until finally he tackled her onto the living room couch and dumped it on her head as well. She immediately shoved him off and then ran back to the kitchen to refill her stocks of weapons. This time it was eggs which she threw at Taeyong as he chased after her. Three ended up hitting his chest and covering his shirt in egg, but the other six all ended up on the walls and floor. All the while he was throwing mashed potatoes at her and his aim was much better. 
By the time they finally called a truce the house was a mess of eggs, mashed potato, and other foods and they had food everywhere, stuck in their hair on their chests and legs and arms, Taeyong had a piece of carrot stuck behind his ear and sweet potato all over his back. She had a green bean stuck in her hair and fruit punch dripping from her shirt. They were both laying on the kitchen trying to breathe again as they sucked in deep breaths and panted slightly. 
"If you had touched the pumpkin pie, you would be dead now, I hope you know that," She said softly turning her head to look at her older brother. 
"Same goes to you, munchkin," Taeyong responded sitting up and leaning against one of the cupboards.
"At least the wild animals know enough not to mess with the pie," They heard their aunt mutter angrily under her breath and started busting out laughing. "Shut up you animals, go shower and change and then we can eat," their aunt said louder looking over at them with stern fondness, she was upset with them but clearly also amused and glad they were having fun. They nodded and stood up to go do as she directed. 
"Hey, does Chenle have anyone to spend Thanksgiving with?" Taeyong asked as they ascended the stairs. 
"Yeah, soulmate remember plus he's still in high school and his family lives in town, anyways apparently her brother does this whole huge thing with some of the college kids, he invited me to come, but for some reason I declined to hang out with you, look where that got me," She replied staring down at the blue shirt that had now been tainted by red punch. 
"Mmm, what about Renjun and Jisung?" Taeyong asked as they continued up the stairs. "Come on, you know we have plenty of food and room for them," Taeyong suggested nudging her slightly.
"Well, Jisung's family lives here, again still in high school, so he's got that going, but Renjun is probably alone, I'll ask him if he wants to come over," She answered before kissing her older brother on the cheek and going off towards her bathroom to shower. On her way, she called Renjun.
"Hey, y/n, what's up, Taeyong being annoying?" Renjun asked as soon as he picked up the phone.
"Yes and no," She replied with a smile, "Do you have anyone to spend Thanksgiving with?" 
"Well, Jeno and I were just about to come up with an excuse to decline Chenle's invitation, don't really want to interrupt the whole soulmate thing, ya know?" Renjun responded and she nodded for a moment forgetting he couldn't see her.
"Did you want to come over and spend it with my family, it would be a better excuse than whatever you two were going to come up with?" She asked as she grabbed a towel and a change of clothes. 
"Yeah, sounds like a plan," Renjun answered after a moment of silence, probably used to confer with his companion Jeno.
"Ok, head on over now then we're just about to eat," She replied and then the two hung up.
Thanksgiving was fun, but uneventful for him until dessert came around, well except for when Johnny asked a question, looking between him and Taeil. "So are either of you ever going to explain what all this tramp stamp stuff is about?" Johnny asked and immediately he felt his cheeks and ears heat up. 
"What?" He choked out slightly the blush very evident on his face. 
"Mmm, yeah Taeil and his little sis here keep making jokes about a tramp stamp and the only explanation we've ever gotten is it's an inside joke about our neighbor," Johnny replied staring intently at the blushing mess that was this boy.
"I feel so betrayed right now," He said glaring towards Taeil and his sister who both just shrugged. 
"It was funny, sorry man," Spoke the only female in the room with a shrug. 
"I'm planning on getting a tattoo, so I asked my soulmate where she'd want it," He began but he was quickly cut off.
"And she said she wanted a tramp stamp?" Ten questioned in shock "Where can I find me a girl like this?" 
"Y'know there's nothing inherently wrong or suggestive about a tramp stamp right? It's just a generalized idea that is both false and demeaning," Kun added frowning a little, not specifically at ten but about useless stereotypes. 
"I mean the tattoo he wants to get would look best going straight across somewhere and she suggested three of the best places for that kind of look, plus it makes it more meaningful that it's not somewhere super visible," Taeil added, probably trying to make up for using it as a joke at his neighbors expense. 
"Plus if she doesn't want a tattoo this might be her way of compromising, easily hidden and forgettable, but still there so she's being supportive of his desires even if she doesn't agree," Kun added after a slight lull. That was all they said on the subject and pretty much the only eventful thing regarding him at dinner. Otherwise, it was mostly a bunch of teenagers and college students being total dorks and crackheads as usual. At least until dessert rolled around and he had the best idea ever.  
It was a totally normal Thanksgiving evening, with the exception of two extra persons in the house, when she fell off the couch despite the fact that she was carefully sandwiched in between Renjun and Jeno and it should've been impossible. 
"What the hell?" Renjun said as she collided with the floor and sat up rubbing her head. 
"Ugh, so the universe hates me," She answered and quickly explained that she could now also hear her soulmate's thoughts on the odd occasion. 
"So what did he surprise you by speaking to you or something?" Jeno asked as she concluded. 
"He screamed 'I have the best idea! OMG!' Really loud in my head," She replied rubbing her temples gently. 
"Ouch," Jeno replied with little to no actual feeling in his voice. 
"Thank you pumpkin spice cake and pumpkin pie," suddenly rang out in her head in his voice at a much quieter level and she couldn't help but pull a face of utter confusion.
"What did he say now?" Taeyong asked leaning forward in his seat endlessly curious about his otp. 
"He's thanking desserts..." She replied before chuckling softly under her breath at how dumb her soulmate sounded right now. 
"Y/n, your soulmate is one odd cookie, he's perfect for you," Renjun said looking at her with mixed expressions, confusion being the chief amongst them. 
Then only a few moments later in his familiar handwriting words showed up on her skin, "So, you know how I've been trying out different nicknames/pet names for you, I've finally found the perfect one!" He wrote to her and then continued, "You'll be cinnamon, cause you're sweet but also not, you know, like cinnamon, does that make sense, you remind me of cinnamon so I'm gonna call you cinnamon," He wrote beginning to ramble slightly which she hadn't even known was possible. "Then you can call me sugar, cause I'm super sweet all the time and then together we'll be cinnamon sugar which is amazing and we'd have matching nicknames which is super cute," Her soulmate wrote again moments later and she sighed with a tinge of adoration in it. 
"He's adorable," She muttered softly under her breath and chuckled lightly. "Ok then, you can call me cinnamon and I'll call you sugar," She wrote back with a soft smile on her lips and the three males in the room watched in amusement at the girl who was slowly but surely falling in love. 
"YES!" Was the very next thing she heard in her head from him and chuckled slightly once again. He really was a cute boy whoever he was. 
Neither of them stopped smiling for the rest of the night...
