My Name or Nothing At All
Tumblr media
a/n: Oh hi. My lovely, beautiful and very smart friend convinced me to write this after I sent her a teeny tiny imagine based on that look on Josh’s face. 5k+ words later, my first fic was born. Oops. Shout out to all my pookies who got to read it first <3
pairing: Josh x f!reader
summary: You’ve made your boyfriend jealous for the first time, and he simply won’t stand for it :)
warnings: 18+ minors stay far away, language, light arguing, graphic sexual content, oral (f. receiving), fingering, unprotected penetrative sex, yadda yadda - enjoy!
update: read part 2 here
Josh can sense the look on his face before he’s even begun to process how he’s feeling. Is he… jealous? That seems ridiculous, but as he watches you from where he’s perched on his seat near the pool tables, he can see the playful smirk dancing across your lips. And it’s directed at the bartender who’s barely focused on the drink he’s mixing for you. Are you batting your fucking eyelashes at this guy? Oh okay, and suddenly this is the funniest bartender on earth, got it.
Hearing your flirtatious, and honestly pretty theatrical, laughter from across the room, Josh decides he’s seen more than enough. Hopping down from his barstool, he makes his way toward you slowly while taking in your body language. You’re fully leaned over the bar top, barely even on your stool anymore. Your legs are crossed, causing your skirt (which is already hugging your body, leaving little to the imagination) to ride scandalously high on your thigh. Your chin is placed on top of your folded hands as your elbows rest on the bar. Well shit, you look absolutely smitten with Mr. Bartender at this point. Josh can feel the heat rising from his own chest, creeping up his neck to his cheeks. He’s definitely jealous, and he’s a little pissed off.
Finally reaching you, with a gentle hand placed to your lower back, you hear his voice barely an inch away from your left ear.
“Having fun over here without me darling?” he practically hums, the tone and low pitch causing you to sit up straight and move your ass back to be fully seated on the stool. Turning your head to him, you grin as your eyes scan his face. His cheeks are flushed, his eyes narrowed at you with an obviously fake smile stretching across his lips. He’s so breathtakingly beautiful, but you can tell something is off.
“Oh,” you giggle out, “Austin was just telling me some stories about the craziest things he’s seen drunk people get up to in this city. He’s worked at a bunch of different bars in the last f-“
“Austin,” Josh cuts you off, directing his attention to the bartender, “we’d like to close our tab. There’s been a bit of an emergency and we need to go. Now.”
The final word comes out clipped, and is directed at you. Eyes wide and eyebrows raised, you look at your boyfriend like he’s grown a second head. Josh is never rude like this to the staff of any establishment, especially one you frequent regularly. Your shock and confusion are clear on your face as you attempt to ask him if everything is alright, what’s the emergency? But he cuts you off again as Austin places the slip for Josh to sign down on the bar top.
“Go get in the car,” he breathes out at a volume low enough for only you to hear as he signs the receipt and drops the pen to the bar in lieu of handing it back to Austin directly. He passes you his keys and you’re already moving towards the front of the building; you don’t see the fire behind Josh’s eyes as he tells Austin to have a good night, muttering “go fuck yourself” under his breath as he turns on his heel to follow you.
He finds you already in the passenger seat of his Jeep, and as he lifts himself into the driver’s seat you’re bombarding him with questions.
“Is everyone okay? Are YOU okay? What’s the emergency?” you spew out quickly, feeling slight panic start to bubble up.
“Y/N.. shut up.”
Your mouth drops open and you stare at his profile, bewildered, for just a second before he starts to speak again.
Hands gripping the steering wheel, eyes set forward, with a deep and eerily calm voice he says, “There is no emergency. Unless of course you consider my girlfriend flirting with the bartender like a shameless slut an emergency.”
A loud bark of a laugh breaks out of you immediately. “Joshua you cannot be fucking serious right now, I thought something was wrong, I thought someone was hurt for Christ sake! You’re an idiot,” you finish on a giggle and put your seatbelt on. “Let’s go home.”
Turning the key in the ignition, Josh looks over to you briefly. “We will be going home, to OUR home, that we SHARE, because we’re in love yeah?”
“Obviously Josh, what the fuck are you-“
“You love me, and yet you left me at that table to wait for you while you were giving ‘fuck me’ eyes to Austin in front of the whole fucking bar. Including me. How do you think that makes me feel?” He hasn’t raised the volume of his voice, but you can feel the anger rolling off of him in waves as he starts to drive. You won’t tell him, but he looks so good like this. The way his jaw is tensed up right now just makes you want to nip and bite and lick it; you squeeze your thighs together at the thought as he glances to you to speak again.
“It feels shitty Y/N. And I’m pissed off and I think you need a reminder of who you belong to.”
Oh, fuck.
You know Josh doesn’t look at you as a possession of his, but right now you’re feeling a little bit like you need to be possessed. Making him jealous wasn’t intentional, you’re just a little tipsy and the bartender was friendly.
“Josh…” you speak quietly, once again at his profile as he’s focused on the road and turning onto your street. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to-“
“Save it.” Damn, can he let you get a full sentence out? Your cheeks grow warm, a little from embarrassment as your body reacts to the venom in his voice, and a little from your own anger at his behavior.
Pulling into the driveway of your home silently, he puts the car in park and turns it off. As you both remove your seatbelts he turns his body to you, “Don’t even think about running in there and hiding away in the bedroom or elsewhere. I’ve realized I just can’t let you out of my sight without you turning into some promiscuous hussy.”
This makes you smile, almost laughing in his face, but the look in his eyes gives a warning. Despite his choice of words, he’s not joking so you drop the smirk and simply nod your head. He nods back and you both step out of the Jeep and head to the front door side by side. With a hand once again placed on your lower back, he unlocks and opens the door with the other and guides you inside just ahead of him. Without turning around, he pushes the door closed and flips the lock with one hand and grips the front of your shirt with the other, pulling you close enough to his body to feel his breath fall across your lips.
Barely more than a whisper he states, “You’re mine. Only mine.”
You’ve been turned on beyond belief since the third? fourth? time he cut you off mid-sentence tonight. But THIS. You can feel the wetness pooling between your thighs before he even brings his lips to yours. The kiss is soft and it lingers, this is your Josh and god do you love him with everything you have. As you reach up to cradle his jaw in both hands, he stops you, gripping each wrist before you can make contact with his skin.
Forehead now against yours, he tells you, “Ya know babe, I really intended to get you home and let you know what a bad girl you’ve been tonight.” He pulls one of your wrists to his lips and places a kiss to it before doing the same to the other. “I was really fucking mad. I thought about punishing you, but I could never hurt you. Considered fucking you and not letting you finish. M’just not a selfish person though, ya know?”
With that, he waits and makes sure your eyes are open and on his. You nod slightly, wanting him to keep talking, to tell you everything he’s thinking. You’re already practically panting, and literally dripping with anticipation for where this is headed.
At your cue, a small smile forms on his perfect lips and you get just a peek at his top row of teeth. “I think that not letting you cum isn’t really a suitable punishment for your wanton behavior with Austin. I think you need a good reminder of exactly why you love being mine, not his, not anyone else’s. Mine.”
A small whine escapes your lips. “Baby, I love you, I don’t want anyone el-“
He cuts you off, again, but this time with his lips, crashing into yours with enough force that your teeth clash together. This doesn’t stop him, as he releases your wrists and brings one hand down to your waist and the other up the side of your neck and around to find purchase in the hair at the base of your skull. Using the hand in your hair, he maneuvers your head to move with him, however he needs, to gain full access to your mouth. On a sigh, your lips open just enough for his tongue to find its way in between them. Matching his eagerness, yours pushes back and they dance together like this, like they’ve done hundreds of times before. You’re melting into each other as your hands move to grip the front of his white t-shirt, then reach around to splay your fingers across his back and pull his body closer.
Needing air and a moment to clear his head and get back on track, he pulls away from the kiss. “Fuck,” he pants out with a heavy breath, “Stop apologizing, stop making excuses. I’m gonna show you exactly why you love me so much. I’m gonna fuck you so stupid that all you can remember is my name.” With that, he pushes you away from him and turns your body towards the stairs. “Get up there.”
He doesn’t expect you to go up and wait for him, he wasn’t joking when he said you weren’t leaving his sight. As you make your way to the stairs and ascend, he’s right on your heels with a playful hand gripping and leaving a light smack to your ass. Crossing the threshold of your shared bedroom, you’re spun back around to face him. His breathing is still labored, and your panties are soaked. His cheeks are tinted a rosy pink once again, his lips slightly kiss-swollen and you know your features match his right now.
Reaching out to the hem of your shirt, he tugs it upwards and over your head without a word. He only spends a moment admiring the bare skin he’s revealed before reaching behind you to undo the clasp of your bra. As it falls loose, he lifts a hand to nudge your chin, wanting to see your eyes. When they meet his, your pupils are already blown wide.
“Oh sweetheart, I haven’t even touched you yet.”
You breathe out a laugh and almost attempt another apology for upsetting him, almost tell him that you don’t even regret it though because his jealousy has gotten you hot and bothered to an embarrassing degree, almost tell him to shut up and get on with it. You’ve remembered however, that he doesn’t want to hear it. Josh has promised you some sort of punishment, or “reminder” as he’s called it, and you’re more than ready for him to deliver.
“Smart girl, remembering to keep her mouth shut,” he hums out his satisfaction at your silence. Reaching to push the straps of your bra past your shoulders and down your arms, he continues, “Need the rest of your clothes off. Need to see all of what’s mine.” His touch and his murmuring, almost as if he’s talking to himself, cause goosebumps to raise on your skin. Once your bra has been tossed to the side, he looks you over to admire his handiwork.
“Are you wet for me, sweet girl?”
All you can do is nod your head, you don’t want to displease him, not now that things are finally getting fun.
“Tell me, I wanna hear all about it.”
You swallow thickly before responding, “Y-yes.”
“Yes, what?”
“I’m so wet for you Josh.. I have been since the drive home. Only for you..” You add the last part hoping that he’ll finally let you in on his plans for you. How he’s going to remind you who you belong to.
He palms his dick over his pants, his growing erection becoming noticeable. With a slight growl from deep in his throat, his eyes scan your body from the top, stopping at the waist of your skirt. “Show me. Take the skirt off, touch your pretty little panties and show me.”
Fuuuuuck. This is not how things usually go. Josh is sweet. He’s sunshine, everybody says so. He’s the same in the bedroom, lovingly removing the clothing from your body and touching you as if you’re made of porcelain. Something delicate and precious, he usually savors every moment. Cherishing you. Right now though, you can tell his jealousy has left him feeling a little emasculated, unsure of himself. He’s asking you to prove to him that you want him. Only him. So of course, his wish is your command.
As he watches closely, only a foot or two of distance now between you, you peel the skirt down your legs from the top. Wanting to put on just a little show for him, you bend seductively at the waist to push the skirt down past your knees and allow it to pool at your feet. You take this opportunity to also slip your shoes from your feet and push each item away from you with your toes as you stand back up to face him. He’s been watching with rapt attention, his bottom lip sucked firmly between his teeth. After rubbing himself over his pants once again, he crosses his arms and brings his eyes to yours.
“Touch yourself, love. Show me how bad you want me.”
You do as he asks, slipping the first two fingers of your right hand between your legs, over the drenched cotton of your panties. The pressure is light, but your body has been buzzing for what feels like hours now and the sensation of your fingertips running over your clothed pussy has you biting back a moan. With your own bottom lip now between your teeth, you lift your hand towards him and rub your thumb together with the fingers that are coated with your arousal.
His hand shoots out to grip your wrist and bring it closer for him to inspect, which moves your bodies nearer each other. The glisten on your fingertips makes him smile, a full-fledged toothy grin, before he moves your fingers to his mouth and slips them between his lips. His tongue moves slowly around each finger, savoring the taste of you. Pulling off of your fingers with a pop, he whispers out, “So sweet.. tastes like heaven babe. Need more…”
Josh presses his palm to the center of your chest and lightly pushes you backwards until the backs of your knees meet the bed. You remain standing that way for a beat, until he moves forward and presses the full length of his body against yours, leaning his head down to press a kiss into the skin of your shoulder. From this position he turns his head slightly so he can speak directly into your ear.
“Lay back on the bed sweetheart. Be a good girl for me, for once.”
You scoff at that, a small sound but he’s heard it.
“Don’t forget that you’re in trouble, love. Batting your pretty eyelashes at that idiot, laughing at everything he said. Was he really so charming that you forgot all about me?”
You bend your knees to take a seat on the edge of the mattress. Exasperated, you spit out “Josh, seriously? I’m literally naked in our bed for you and you still think that I give a fuck ab-“
He cuts you off, of course he does, but this time a hand is clasped over your mouth and the other is gripping the back of your head. You feel your eyes bulge and your pussy clench around nothing. What the fuck is wrong with me?
“Stop talking. For the love of god, shut up. You’re a brat, you know that?” His gaze has gone hard again, his jaw flexing as he pulls his hand off your mouth long enough to run it over his face. He replaces it quickly. “Here’s the plan my love… I told you I couldn’t punish you, that I couldn’t hurt you. So instead what m’gonna do is make you cum. Once, maybe twice on my mouth, once on my fingers at least, maybe I’ll make you make yourself cum while I watch…” He pauses to think that over for a second, then shakes his head to regroup his thoughts, “And definitely again on my cock. Again and again. Because you, are mine. No one else’s. And you’re never going to forget that.”
Removing his hand from your mouth, he allows you to take in a gasping breath before using the hand on the back of your head to pull you down to the mattress by your hair. You’re almost afraid to make a sound, afraid that he’ll stop. His mouth finds you, soft lips leaving a bruising kiss on yours. His hands are all over you now, your exposed torso left without his attention for too long. His kisses trail from your mouth to your jaw, down your neck where he sinks his teeth in lightly, drawing a shudder and a moan from your body. He smooths his tongue over the marks he’s left behind before continuing his path down your chest. No time is wasted there however, his need to taste you and feel your first orgasm of the night has him in a rush.
Your breaths are heavy as he assaults your skin with his mouth, his hands reaching the waistband of your underwear where he teases his fingertips for a moment. You whine at this, whimper out his name, encourage him to keep going.
“That’s right baby,” he mumbles against the skin covering your hipbone, “that’s all I wanna hear, my name, say it again.”
And you do, over and over, Josh Josh JOSH please baby please please…
Josh smiles to himself, loving the sound of his name in your fucked out voice. He still has barely touched you and you’re practically quivering underneath him. Slipping his fingers under the sides of your panties he draws them down your thighs, past your knees, and pulls them away from you. Stopping to peek at the dampened material that was resting between your legs, he smiles again as he kneels on the floor in front of you. His hands find their way to your knees and creep inward to push them apart, effectively spreading you open to him.
His gaze lingers on your exposed pussy for a moment, witnessing your arousal dripping (literally dripping) out of you. He licks his lips before raising his eyes up to your face, where he finds you already looking at him. Your chest is flushed with anticipation, and he thinks to himself that you look quite beautiful spread out for him, wanting him so badly. He doesn’t speak it out loud, you are being punished after all.
Your eyes don’t leave each other’s as he lowers his face to your core. He can’t resist reaching forward to swipe his fingers through the wetness first, just to feel the slick, satisfying slip of it. He pops those fingers into his own mouth briefly, removes them and licks his lips one more time. A pleased hum comes from you both before he leans in and licks a broad stripe up through your folds, ending with a flick of the tongue over your swollen clit. Your body jolts at the action, having been floating in a haze of arousal for far too long.
“JOSH fuck, Josh please don’t stop..”
“Sweetheart I’m just getting started,” he replies directly into your cunt before he begins to lick at you in a frenzy. He’s eating you out like a starved man, tasting your need for him, before he focuses his attention with pointed flicks to your clit. His hands move under your thighs and around to pull them closer to his face and as your back arches off the bed, he sucks your clit past his lips. One of your hands flies down to grasp onto his curls and the band that’s been stretched taut low in your belly snaps suddenly, his name spilling from your mouth with a string of expletives as your orgasm pulls you under and your thighs close in around his head, shaking. He laps at you slowly as you come down, easing you back to earth with him.
As you let your legs fall open and you attempt to open and focus your eyes on his face, he’s already buried it into your pussy again.
“JOSH! Josh it’s too much, gimme a minute!” you gasp out, gripping and tugging on his hair to try and pull him away from you.
It works briefly, and he lifts his head only long enough to shoot you a shit eating grin, his lips and the lower half of his face shining in the low light from the window.
“I don’t give a fuck if it’s too much, cum again for me.”
Two fingers slide up through your slick folds before they’re plunged into you and his lips are reattached to your overstimulated clit. You’re already pulsing around his fingers and he can feel how close you are to giving him another. He’s sliding them in and out of you at a quick, steady pace and lifts his face from you to watch himself work, enjoying the sound and feel of your wetness coating him. Tearing his eyes away from the sight to glance up at your face, he finds your cheeks red and eyes screwed shut.
“Baby,” he coos up at you, but your eyes remain closed and your hands move to grip the comforter on either side of your body. “Y/N look at me,” he commands with force as he moves from his kneeling position on the floor to join you on the bed. Your eyes shoot open and land directly on his as he’s now hovering over you, his fingers still tucked deep inside you.
“Hi pretty girl,” he sounds innocent but as soon as you attempt a shy smile at him, he curls his fingers inside you, tapping that spot that makes your toes curl.
“FUCK Joshuaaaaa,” his full name leaves your mouth in a whine and he simply repeats the motion with his fingers. Again, again, then pumps them in and out of you once, twice, three times. A final curl of them causes you to cry out and your cunt clenches down around them. Your mouth remains open in a silent scream and your body tenses and releases onto his hand.
“That’s my good girl, doing so well… we’re not done yet though babe.”
You’re a panting mess, limp against the mattress as Josh leans over your face. Tapping his fingers to your lips, you allow him to dip them into your mouth. Your tongue swirls around them until he seems satisfied and pulls them away to stand from the bed. It strikes you that he’s still fully clothed as you hear him kick his shoes off.
You focus on his movements as he goes to disrobe slowly, casually. He’s no longer in a hurry even though his dick hasn’t been touched and it’s now straining against the material of his khakis. He spots you eyeing it. “Hey, eyes up here pervert,” he giggles.
“Oh I’m the pervert when you’ve been-“
“Quiet. My name or nothing at all.”
God damnit. Why is that sexy? You need to remember to not let him make a habit of it.
He continues to remove his clothing, lifting his shirt up and over his head. You watch his muscles flex as he does, first his stomach then his arms. He shakes out his curls once it’s off, moving to undo his belt.
“Josh…” you speak quietly, but it’s his name so you think he won’t mind. He quirks an eyebrow at your questioning and nods his head, so you continue. “Let me help. Let me take care of you, you deserve it.” Your doe eyes and pleading tone don’t work on him though.
“Hmm, no I don’t think so.” He pulls his belt out of the loops, pops the button on his pants and pulls down the zipper. Unceremoniously he tugs his pants down and kicks them away, standing now only in his black boxer briefs. You’ve propped yourself up on your elbows to watch him, your mouth is practically watering. He’s truly so beautiful. You can’t believe he would think you could want anyone else, he is everything.
“Joshua…” He looks up and stays silent. “You’re so hot babe.”
The smile nearly splits his face in half, his famous dimple making an appearance. “Don’t try to soften me up sweetheart. Thank you though.” He laughs off your compliment as he drops his briefs to his ankles, allowing his now painfully hard cock to spring upward. You almost comment on it but he doesn’t let you get a word in, he’s already moving back toward the bed with his hand now gripping himself. He lets out a groan as he strokes himself once, twice, slowly. Your body is tired but you push yourself up the bed and rest your head on the pillows. As he crawls up to you he resembles an animal stalking its prey, the look in his eyes is needy and hungry. You can’t look away.
“Sweet girl, you know I love you right?”
You only nod in response, you don’t think he wants to hear anything else.
“I want at least two more from you. You think you can do that for me?”
You nod again as his face reaches yours, your breaths mingling together as he nudges your nose with his. He’s between your legs and the tip of his cock is also nudging your entrance, his grip around it still firm as he runs it through the wetness that lingers there.
“Kiss me, babe, please.”
He almost scolds you for speaking but instead, indulges your request. As your lips meet, he pushes himself into you, sliding in easily and bottoming out. You let out a squeal into his mouth and he groans in relief. His hands, now gripping the sheets on either side of your head, flex a couple times before he brings one to your cheek. “Fuck, you feel so good baby, made for me. Mine, you’re fucking mine.” He growls out through gritted teeth. “You ready?”
He gives you a second to nod your head and captures your lips again as he pulls out, leaving just the head inside of you before slamming his hips into the back of your thighs. His name leaves your mouth in a yelp as he repeats the motion, building up to a bruising pace. The hand that was on your cheek comes to rest on your throat with light pressure, just enough for you to feel it. You feel completely possessed by him as he looks down between your bodies to watch himself moving inside you. You’re his, no one else’s. He has to know that.
Bringing his eyes back up to meet yours, his pupils are wide, his eyes so dark they’re almost black. Beads of sweat have started to form across his forehead, causing his curls to stick there. He’s slamming into you, your body being pushed toward the headboard, the tip of his cock brushing your cervix on every stroke. You can feel another orgasm creeping up on you slowly, and he can feel it too as you clench around him.
“I can feel you squeezing me, you’re such a good girl baby,” he grunts out. “Give it up for me.” He brings his free hand to your face, and you open your mouth, ready to accept anything he’s got to give. His thumb is on your tongue in an instant and you suck it lightly for a moment before he pulls it away and moves to bring it down to your extremely sensitive clit. His body shifts as the other hand leaves your throat, he’s moved back with his weight on his heels and he grips your waist. As soon as he’s got his thumb on your clit, he adds pressure as he moves it in swift circles. It’s immediately overstimulating, he hasn’t lost his rhythm as he’s pumping his hips into you, and you cry out his name.
“That’s right love, tell me who you belong to, who this sweet pussy belongs to.”
“You Josh, you you you, only y-you,” the words stumble out of you.
“Who makes you feel this good baby?”
“Youuuuu Josh,” you whine, the circles he’s drawing on your clit are unwavering and you know you’re seconds away from a third orgasm.
“That’s. Fucking. Right.” Each word is punctuated by a sharp thrust and you feel the wave crash down over you. It’s powerful and pulls you under as a haze of colors flash behind your eyelids.
“FUCK baby, that’s right, you’re soooo fucking good for me, my good girl,” you can hear Josh speaking, his excited words rushing out of him, but it sounds distant, like you’re floating outside of yourself. His rhythm has faltered and he strokes into you once, twice more before he’s spilling himself deep inside you with a drawn out groan. The grip on your hip is white-knuckled and sure to leave fingertip shaped bruises. He resists collapsing onto you, holding himself up as you float back down to the bed, to this universe. When your eyes open you first see his smile. It’s huge, all of his perfect teeth on display, the little gap between the front top two making you smile too. As your gaze moves lower you see that his torso, his stomach is soaking wet.
“What the fuck is-“
“You fucking squirted, I can’t believe this.” He sounds giddy, like a kid who just got exactly what he wanted for Christmas. “You’re so fucking perfect. And all mine. How did I get so lucky?” He’s almost giggling as he slowly pulls out of you and comes to rest on his side next to you.
“I’ve… never done that before,” you’re giggling now too, taking in Josh’s afterglow as he’s looking down, transfixed by the mess you’ve made of the bedding.
“Yeah, you think Mr. Bartender what’s-his-face could’ve made THAT happen?”
“Austin. His name’s Austin.”
Josh’s head whips up at that, a fire back in his eyes.
“Oh sweetheart… that was the wrong fucking answer.”

Please can I request another oneshot with a female reader. Where she is best friends with Joseph Joestar and they go to Italy together to train their hamon skills. However, as soon as they meet Caesar he falls in love with her which makes Joseph very jealous as he only recently started to feel more than friendship for her :) I can’t wait to read more of your writing :)
Hello again! Thank you for waiting. Yeesh, this was a pain. I don't think I'll be taking anymore love triangle requests in the future. Unless you paid me, hehe.
I hope you enjoy! I tried taking a saltier turn with this one but fear not, we still get our happy ending.
In-A-Godda-Da-Vidda
Woo name change. I feel this one matches the tone better than Jack Stauber. Check it out! It's a long one but it's great
Notes: Fem!reader, female pet names are included, angst, I think that's it!
It was unnatural for Joseph to be acting like some jealous brat. Childish, maybe. But these foreign feelings wrapping around his heart like bramble were becoming unbearable, and Joseph needed to bring an end to them quick.
It had only been a couple days since stepping foot in Italy, and you had already made a strong impression on the blond that set Joseph's blood to a boil. You had him wrapped around your finger, smitten, just like your closest best friend.
Was Joseph jealous because he thought Caesar could steal you away? Of course not! You were smart enough to not fall for his fake charm... Hopefully. He had faith that you wouldn't fall for the Casanova. But Caesar was acting rather bold lately. If Joseph wasn't by your side, the blond would be offering you random weeds and flowers he just so happens to find, telling you sickeningly sweet words that made Joseph want to gag. Gross.
Fear not! Your best friend Joestar would steal you away to protect you from the Italian. Training was taking too much time, Joseph feared. Luckily he was able to sneak away from Lisa Lisa, with you in tow. Rowing a boat was nothing if it meant spending time with you, Joseph didn't care about the subtle ache in his arms once he heard the childlike giggle come from you. He was pulled around all of Venice by you, but he didn't mind a bit. Joseph enjoyed watching you ogle store windows, and comment on the smells of fresh Italian cuisine. You even got him to buy you fresh gelato, something you could finally cross off your bucket list. The time you spent with your best friend was good, hiding away from a (very surely) pissed off Lisa Lisa and Caesar was great fun. The day until you all defeated the Pillar Men was drawing closer, you deserved some time off to relax.
Somehow you both were able to waste a whole day doing nothing in Italy. No more than a couple dollars was spent to make this a day to remember. With the city behind you, you and Joseph watched the sun set behind the sea. It was a beautiful sight to behold, a fitting end to the day. While you walked, the sky was streaked with orange and pink stretching across the sky. Yes, beautiful, but it was your sign that the fun was up, and you had to go back to Suplena Island to face the music.
"Can't believe we have to go back already... Today has been amazing, JoJo." You sigh in defeat, grabbing a hold on your best friend's arm.
There was a cheesy smug look on his face. "Amazing, hmm? I guess you could call it the greatest day of your life, right?!"
"Don't push your luck," You grinned. "Amazing, yes. But today certainly coulda done with some actual food... If Caesar was here I definitely coulda gotten some."
"Oh please, don't bring that cheese head into this!" Joseph groaned in desperation, two hands thrown over his head. You giggle quietly to yourself, "Oops, did I strike a nerve? Sounds like someone is upset. Don't tell me, are you upset because you couldn't take Caesar with you to Italy instead?" You couldn't help to tease him. The growing rivalry between the two was hilarious. Enemies at sight. You would never forget the face Joseph made after Caesar fired back those noodles of squid ink pasta.
Finally made it back to the boat, surrounded with other much better and much more expensive looking ships compared to the wooden row boat you drove in on. Joseph was still salty about your prying even as you neared your very special boat. As you moved to untie the thing Joseph's words stopped you. "The whole point of this trip was to get away from the bastard."
"JoJo, we've only known the guy for less than a month! How are you so jealous?"
"Tch! I'm not jealous! I hate the way he looks at you! Someone needs to protect you from him."
"And how does he look at me, JoJo?"
He thought about for a minute. "Like you're a piece of meat."
That stung you. That shock quickly turned into a dull anger. "Jeez, Joseph. No man is good enough for you! Even as a kid you'd never let me hang out with anyone. You're such a...a–!"
"What was that? Don't tell me you're actually interested in giving that sleazeball a chance!"
"You're a little too late, Joseph."
To help solidify the horrors he dreaded, a familiar accented voice filled in the silence between you two. "There you are! I've been looking everywhere!"
Caesar broke his jog to slide in next to you. He was bundled up heavily to combat the cool Italian night, his hand coming up to hold yours to share his heat. He ignored the awkward silence from your best friend and you, and ignored the angry and betrayed look on Joseph's face to only anger him more.
"What do you think you're doing?! Sneaking away in the middle of your training to goof off? Typical, Joestar!"
"Caesar, please..." You tried to stop with a soft hand placed on his chest. Joseph watched, another nail added to his coffin.
"Cara, you shouldn't indulge him! Going along with his idiotic plans will just get you in trouble."
Joseph's first greeting to his friend was a hearty and quick punch to his face. Caesar was already on the ground before his name left your lips. You dropped to care for him, holding him close as if he was made of glass, you left Joseph still standing, anger so visible in his eye now that it cut through you like a knife through paper.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" You shrieked.
"Me?! You've been dating Caesar behind my back? Since when?!"
"What does it matter to you, Joseph? I'm a grown woman and I can date whoever I please!"
"But you're supposed to be with me!"
He earned himself a shocked silence. As if all of Italy was dying to hear your response. Caesar stood to stare Joseph down, his cheek red from the impact of a wildly thrown fist, unshed tears wetting his eyes. He kept you protectively in his arm, massaging his face with his unused hand. You looked at Joseph just as bewildered, "What?"
"You're supposed to be with me! Not him! It's supposed to be you and me that do all of that cheesy romance stuff together, like calling each other stupid pet names, and kiss in public and gross everyone out! I don't want to do it with anyone else!"
"Joseph... Do you even hear yourself? No, shut up." You forced him silent once he tried to interrupt you, an iron grip on his chin, forcing his face down to look you in your cold eyes. "You had your chance, a long time ago. And you blew it. I'm not gonna wait in a box until you decide you want to have a go at dating with me. I loved you Joseph. I still do! But those feelings have changed, and now we both have to move on."
You let him go and went back to Caesar. He held you closer, a little more softer. The air around you now was uncomfortable and warm, both you and Joseph had your heads bowed in shame unable to look at the other.
You wanted to turn and leave. To look away from the sad sight of your best friend. But you couldn't. It broke your heart to see him like this. You hated how he treated you in the past. Maybe he didn't recognize it at the time, but it was still shitty. And yet...
"And yet, I... Oh, my god."
"Cara mia, what's wrong?" Caesar asked, frightened by your sudden urge to collapse into a ball on the ground, a hand over your face to hide the confused tears seeping from your eyes. You sobbed, "Caesar... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry."
The sounds of your distress caught Joseph's attention, too. An alarm sounded in his head, he didn't care about your fight, now he just wanted to make sure you were okay.
"I-I think I, I think... I'm still in love with you, JoJo. I'm sorry Caesar. I-I thought maybe if I tried to date someone new I could get over him, but now... I'm stuck between both of you."
"Oh, Cara please," Caesar held you close, a hand gently brushing through your frazzled hair. He was so soft with you, but did you deserve it? You were a terrible person. No, you didn't. You just used him, and ended up catching feelings for him anyway. Your heart was a mess, you didn't know what to do now. How could you ever fix this mess.
"Don't cry, my love," All while Caesar spoke he wiped away the tears staining your face. "I still love you, too. My feelings have over grown since we became an item. But if your heart still belongs to another man... I am more than happy to let you go to him. But. If you still have feelings for me, then... I see only one other option for us." He looked at Joseph, blue eyes calculated and serious. "We'll share you."
"Excuse me? Like hell I'd share anyone with you!"
"JoJo! Listen to me, if you truly do love this girl then you'll hear what I have to say!"
The brunet went quiet, but not without complaint. Joseph crossed his arms over his chest refusing to look at Caesar again, but he was all ears.
Caesar looks back at you. He took your hands in his. "Cara. If you love us both, and if we both love you. It would only make sense to take us both, correct?"
"Caesar, I don't... We can't do that. What would people think if they saw me with two men instead of one?"
"To hell with them! What matters is if having both of our hearts will make you happy. We only ask that you share your heart with both of us in exchange."
Joseph had come closer. Like his friend he was sat next to you, a comforting hand placed on your thigh. "And Joseph. Would all of this be okay with you..?" He pouted a little, "It's all fine, I s'ppose. As long as you don't make me kiss Caesar, I'd much rather kiss you."
"Then... I'd love to share my heart with both of you! If you'll take it."
Happy to hear, Caesar placed a chaste kiss on your temple. Joseph followed quickly after, taking the back of your hand to his lips. "Now, let us get back to the island. I'll speak to Ms. Lisa Lisa to lighten her punishment."
"Oh, great. I totally forgot about that." Joseph moaned. "Whatever. Say, Y/n, you're coming back with me yeah? Who knows what you've been doing behind my back with Caesar. We need to get even!
"You've had the whole day with her, idiota!" Caesar protested.
"As friends. Now I get to do all types of lovey dovey things with her!"

I finished this chapter literally this morning.
To be fair I only had about a hundred words left to write though so it wasn't a struggle, but still.
I also already have half of the next chapter written because I wrote it whilst writing chapter 2, so, there's that.
Happy reading!
----
The journey really did take a long time. Logan hadn’t been exaggerating when he said it would take two weeks to make it to the city.
It was only a week and a half into the journey when Roman got tired of watching Logan be obtusely oblivious to Patton’s subtle attempts at flirting. Frankly it was embarrassing to watch and he could understand that Patton might be upset by Logan seemingly ignoring every advance. And not to mention it was extremely frustrating for everyone involved. 
In the end, Roman decided that he needed to take matters into his own hands or this would just continue to become more and more frustrating as time went on. He believed he might actually explode if this gets worse.
Thankfully, the opportunity to talk to Patton alone had arisen just the next day.
—-
“We are nearly out of food,” Logan told them after they had eaten breakfast together in their camp. 
“Ah, shoot,” Patton said, “And the nearest town was back the way we came, too.”
“And there isn’t another town until Brindleswan now,” Logan said with a sigh, “We will have to go back.”
“Wouldn’t that be a waste of time? It’s a few hours trip back to the town and we’d just be looping around on ourselves,” Roman said, raising an eyebrow at the other two. Logan paused, before sighing.
“I can move faster than both of you, if I go alone I can be back with food before noon.” Logan told them, indicating once again his powerful legs, “You both can stay here and watch over the camp until I get back.”
“Can do!” Patton grinned, saluting. 
“We’ll take care of it,” Roman nodded, before winking at Logan, “I’ll look after Patton.”
Logan went purple, but quickly turned away with a nod, picking up one of their packs and the map before turning back to them. Roman smirked, yes, Logan was definitely smitten. 
“If I am not back by mid-afternoon, you can assume something most likely happened to me,” Logan told them, “However I am able to handle myself, neither of you should worry for my safety.”
“Just hurry up and get going,” Roman waved him off, “Don’t worry about us, we’ll be fine, and right here when you get back.”
Patton nodded with a smile, waving Logan goodbye as he walked out of the camp. Roman really wasn’t worried about Logan. His best friend could handle himself perfectly well. Not only had they both received training in physical combat (although Logan’s was only base level, he could still handle himself in a fight) But Logan also knew at least ten different spells for knocking an opponent off of their feet and at least three for tying them up without even needing to go near them. He would be fine.
Now was the perfect time for Roman to talk to Patton. Logan would be gone for a good few hours, meaning that the Prince had the perfect amount of time to give Patton the crash course on wooing dense tieflings. 
“So, Patton,” Roman said, standing up and turning to face his new friend. Patton looked up at him with his head tilted slightly to the side. 
“Yes?” He asked, sounding slightly alarmed. Roman softened, right, this wasn’t an interrogation. 
“I’ve noticed you’ve been trying to make advances towards Logan,” Roman commented, sitting down next to his friend, Patton suddenly looked even more alarmed, oops, “I was just wondering if you’d accept some friendly advice from someone who’s known him twenty years.”
“Wait- you don’t- mind?” Patton asked, blinking at Roman like he was talking gibberish.
Roman shrugged, “Of course not, Logan’s my friend and I’d like to see him happy, why would I mind?”
“Well I just…” Patton suddenly looked a little sheepish, “It’s- a little silly, really.”
“Well what is it?” Roman asked, “If only so I can clear up whatever issue this might be.”
“It really is silly,” Patton shook his head, “I just started thinking- well Logan’s so obviously out of my league in every way and you’re up there with him so I just kind of thought you wouldn’t approve of me and Logan wouldn’t like me like that because I’m way lower class than both of you and even disregarding that I don't have magic and I can't fight and it's not even-”
Patton started talking so quickly that Roman thought he may get whiplash trying to keep up, eventually he just reached out and put a hand on Patton’s arm in an attempt to slow him down.
“Patton, let me assure you with absolute certainty that Logan will not deem you unworthy or lesser than him, it’s just- not how he thinks,” Roman tried to explain, “He sort of- just- stuff that doesn’t really make sense, like social class, it all just goes straight over his head. And I really couldn’t care less, so long as you’re both happy.”
“You- really?” Patton asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Not that he’s insensitive,” Roman quickly amended, “He just- doesn’t see the merit of seeing someone as lesser value based on how much gold or magic they have. He won’t judge you for that.”
Patton nodded, taking a deep breath to steady his nerves, “Alright- so- if you’re ok with this, then… what’s the advice?”
“Mostly just not to be downhearted when he doesn’t acknowledge your attempts,” Roman shrugged, Patton sighed, “I’ve noticed, but Logan can be dense as a brick sometimes and wouldn’t know flirting if it struck him upside the head.” 
“I… see,” Patton nodded, “What do I do, then?”
“Well if you’re up for talking to him,” Roman said, “I’m certain he would be open to the idea, but I doubt he’ll make the first move and subtlety really isn’t something he’s good with.”
Roman laughed as Patton visibly paled, “I’m not- I’m definitely not ready to confess to him- not- not yet!”
“That’s alright,” Roman said, patting Patton’s arm with a small smile on his face, “You’ve only known each other a few weeks, after all.”
“I- yeah- I think it’s a little too soon for a relationship,” Patton laughed, shaking his head.
“Perhaps,” Roman nodded, “I will continue to attempt to nudge him in the right direction for you, though.”
“Thanks, Roman,” Patton said, “I appreciate that.”
“You’re welcome, now, I have some more tips, for starters-”
—--
All the way from that point to Brindleswan on the last few days of their journey, Patton kept glancing back at Roman every time Logan brushed off his flirting attempts or said something by accident that made Patton flush particularly red. Roman attempted to return the glances with a supportive smile and sometimes even a thumbs up. He felt a little like he’d been upgraded from third wheel to wingman. Which… was a lot nicer. 
The arrival to Brindleswan itself had been incredibly peaceful. The rolling hills of farmland stretched far from the city itself. It took them almost an entire afternoon to make it from the edge of the fields to the city itself. They had passed fields full of wheat and corn and vegetables planted in the grounds, orchards filled with trees teeming with fruit and wildlife alike. Roman was familiar with this city, despite having never been here in person. 
He’d learned a lot about the city during one of Remus’ lessons. It wasn’t the richest, nor the most beautiful. It wasn’t even in the best location- being right near the wild border- but it was incredibly important to Dalandaire. Brindleswan exported the vast majority of the crops that went to go towards feeding the noble class as well as a large portion of their foreign food imports too. 
They found the nearest inn, all of them glad to sleep in a proper bed after a long while of sleeping on the road to conserve gold. Roman had suggested it, to ready them for the- potentially treacherous- next stretch of the journey. He was nervous, sure, but half of his nerves were excited, he was going to rescue a Prince, a real fairytale! And he was part of it. His companions, however, weren’t nearly as enthusiastic.
“You two really don’t need to come,” Roman told them, looking between Patton and Logan. Patton had been antsy for the whole of last evening and even moreso now as they were about to set off, Logan too had been quieter and more reserved than usual, “I know neither of you really want to be doing this, and I’m happy to go alone-”
“No,” Logan cut him off, “I have a duty to protect you, it would be a blatant disregard of said duty if I were to let you walk off into Teine alone, even if it wasn’t towards a potentially angry dragon.”
“Yeah- uh- I’d rather not actually face the dragon, but, um, we’re friends, and friends accompany each other on stupid quests that are potentially going to get us killed,” Patton said, “Right?”
Logan raised an eyebrow.
“And- well if you’re both going I’d rather not be left here on my own worrying about you both until you get back…” Patton trailed off, rubbing the back of his neck, “At least if I’m with you two I can be sure you’re okay, right?”
“Right,” Logan nodded, “I believe not splitting up will be the best solution, even if it may laed us all to our deaths.”
“It won’t,” Roman said, pulling all the confidence he had into those two words, “I- have a good feeling about this.”
—-
The forest of Teine was as overgrown as it was old. Which was to say very. 
Rumours and stories said that strange creatures lived in these woods. Non-sentient things, potentially very dangerous things.
Within only twenty minutes Roman had found himself having to cast the summoning spell he used to have his silver imbued longsword form in his hands- and not even to fight anything! He instead used his sword to slash through hanging curtains of greenery and chop back branches to carve them a path. 
The forest was near uninhabitable, that’s what people said, and Roman was starting to see why.
When they had finally found a clearing big enough for them to set up camp for the night, Logan took extra care with the concealment spell, adding a barrier on top of it. None of them said it, but all three of them were nervous. As they tried to sleep Roman could feel pairs of eyes on him, which was stupid, right? Because Logan had made them invisible to anything outside. But still Roman found he could only manage a few hours of sleep, and he’d been restless all night. 
By the third day they were all tired. Logan had quietly offered to carry Patton for an hour or so so that he might be able to get some sleep. Anyone could see that Patton was doing far worse than he or Logan were, after all. He’d gotten even less sleep than Roman had. After Patton had tripped on a hidden root and would have eaten dirt had Logan not caught him he’d taken Logan up on the offer and Roman was glad to see him get an hour or so’s worth of sleep on Logan's back. 
It had taken getting lost three times and almost a week's journey before they started seeing signs of something.
Before this point, they had occasionally had to fight off a couple of monsters. Nothing Roman couldn’t handle, especially with Logan’s help. They hadn’t ended up overwhelmed with enemies at a single point, but there had been a steady flow. They’d encounter one thing after another and take it down.
Now there was nothing.
As they continued towards the middle of the forest the lack of monsters wasn’t noticed immediately. 
It was only when Patton quietly pointed out that there didn't seem to be any animals around here whatsoever did they start to get worried.
He was right, of course. Roman hadn’t noticed, but now that he listened he realised he couldn’t hear a single bird’s chirp, nor the hum of an insect or the scuffling of some small animal in the brush. 
Even the leaves rustling in the wind were quiet, as if in an attempt to not interrupt the silence. 
“I think we’re getting close,” Logan murmured, so quiet but somehow deafeningly loud in the silence. The other two didn't speak in return, just nodded and continued walking.
Next they noticed the trees beginning to thin rapidly. 
Over only an hour of walking they went from needing to climb and slash their way through the undergrowth to being able to walk easily between the trees, Roman's sword becoming useless at this point. Yet he wasn't prepared to send it back to the pocket dimension he could summon it from just yet. Something told him to keep hold of it for now.
Somehow, without even noticing it, they walked straight out of the treeline. Immediately Logan had dragged them back, shushing them when Patton started to talk. 
When they actually looked, they realised that yes, the trees had completely disappeared in a wide circle. Roman's eyes widened when he saw what was at its centre.
A tower pierced the sky, tall and looming. Its sweeping round roof touches the clouds far above the highest tree. Roman briefly wondered how they hadn't seen it before. 
At first he thought there was a structure at the bottom of the tower, a large mass of buildings in odd shapes. When he looked again, he realised that the mass was breathing.
 "That's…." Roman mumbled, trailing off with wide eyes.
"The dragon?" Logan nodded, "I do believe so."
"Oh gee uh-" Patton whispered, "So- what now? That dragon is uh… pretty firmly wrapped around the tower."
"It would be difficult to sneak past it, I believe," Logan nodded.
Roman nodded, taking a deep breath and gripping his sword even tighter than before, "I'm going to go in." 
"Wait-!" Patton yelped, "What about- you don't have a plan!" 
"It looks to be sleeping," Roman shrugged. "I'm sure I could just- walk past." 
Logan narrowed his eyes.
"Somehow I highly doubt that," Logan sighed, "How about we remain here to provide backup if you so need it?" 
"And we can wait until it starts getting dark so you'd blend in a little better with the sunset!" Patton added, "We'll only have to wait an hour or two…"
Roman sighed, looking longingly at the top of the tower, he could see a balcony that wrapped all the way around, a pair of large wooden doors- closed, of course. He wanted to go now, but maybe it would be best to wait…
—-
They had set up a camp, near the edge of the clearing. They hadn't lit a fire out of fear that it would catch the Dragon's attention but they had built a fire pit for when Roman got back.
Finally, as the sun began to sink and the world was bathed in orange, Roman left the camp and headed, sword in hand, and headed for the tower.
The ground between the treeline and the tower crunched beneath his feet. When he actually looked down he could see that where there was grass, it was dead and dry, yellow like straw. Where there wasn't grass..  The ground was scorched and black. 
Roman shivered, looking back at where Patton and Logan hid behind the trees. Wnen he looked back though, he noticed that some of the trees, while still alive, were scorched on the side facing him, leaves and branches burned off. Quickly he turned back to face the tower, he took a deep breath, then another, and started forward. 
He could do this.
Unfortunately, Roman wasn't lucky enough to sneak by the dragon unnoticed. Almost as soon as he'd stepped further out into the open her giant amber eyes slid open. She watched him as he took a few more steps forward and once he'd reached a suitable distance she stood.
His first thought was that she was the most beautiful creature Roman had ever seen. 
His second was that, oh no, the dragon was staring at him, eyes unblinking, and he wondered for a long moment if he was going to die here.

a/n: just realized that the colors of my banners are different on laptop and phone and that pissed me off.
word count: 3.9k 
genre: smut, nsfw
warnings: noncon/dubcon, exhibitionism, public sex, thigh riding, squirting, sexual assault, stalking, power abuse
pairing: aizawa x f!reader
summary: where aizawa deliberately takes on the roll as your guardian inside the train, but of course he has other plans.
Tumblr media
the worst place to be during the rush hour would be inside a train. 
aizawa never bothered to commute because he often walked to work and back home but for you, he was willing to make an exception. 
you caught his attention during one of his evening patrols, walking alone in the big city with a short skirt that accentuated your curves and long legs. aizawa discovered the fact that you used the train to get to work daily and with the fact that you were always alone, he knew that you were always put in a vulnerable situation. so, he thought; why not keep an eye on you? maybe his job as a hero could give him a little advantage too.
like a child, he finds himself eager to get on the train. of course, he doesn’t really know which coach you would be standing in but his commute turns out to be so much worth it whenever he does end up standing in the same one as you.
in the morning, you would be there before he gets in and he’s the first one to step off the train in the evening. he assumes that you live somewhere closer to the end of the train’s final stop but he doesn’t know exactly where. so far, he has learned which station you use to wait for the train for your ride home from work. 
and today seems to be one of those days where he is lucky enough to see you in the same coach, squeezed between a throng of people. aizawa always noticed the fed up and uncomfortable look on your face as you held on to the bar but it was because of no other than a pervert deliberately rubbing his front on your backside. 
he’s sort of mad that you just let it happen, quietly accepting the assault being thrown at you. he can see how your face is contorted into anger and vexation as you try to nudge the man with your elbow and what he assumes as the man muttering half-assed apologies before he starts to blatantly repeat the same shit again. 
you look around pleadingly for someone to intervene and your hands are balled into tight fists, ready to swing any moment but you hesitate because you’re afraid of being the one who will end up getting into trouble and especially since you don’t have any concrete evidence that you’re being harassed either.
for a moment, his gaze locks briefly with yours before you turn away, probably to seek for someone else to come to your aid. he knows that almost no heroes ride the train, since they either patrol on the streets or keep watch from up above but he is currently the outlier, and what kind of hero would he be if he just continues to turn a blind eye on this? maybe it’s time for him to steal the opportunity to play hero and finally get an excuse to talk to you after a long time of observing you from the sidelines. 
aizawa slowly pushes the people aside to make his way over to your side and takes you by surprise by putting his hand on your shoulder.
“baby, why didn’t you pick up the phone?” he sighs and says a little too loudly so the creep behind you can hear. you look at him perplexingly but he just gives you a silent look that tells you to play along. 
“u-uh.. i’m sorry. my phone is on silent.” you try to reply with the same tone. “but i’m glad you found me! thought i’ve lost you.” 
the way you inch closer to him doesn’t go unnoticed, especially how your boob is literally pressing on his side. aizawa quickly glances to the man who still seems to be unbothered by the fake acting (not that he can tell) so he spins you around to face him instead. 
good lord. maybe he shouldn’t have done that. 
now aizawa can clearly see that your tits are squished against his chest through the unbuttoned top of your little white blouse. your gaze strays somewhere else, probably in embarrassment or maybe you don’t mind at all– he can’t tell nor can he think straight right now but he’s here for one purpose and he’s going to honor it. 
“how’s work today?” he inquires, turning your head to him with his fingers so it would seem like you both are engaging in a natural conversation between lovers. he is able to see your tired eyes up close but they seem to carry the same soft look he’s so smitten with.
“hard.” he tenses up a little at the possibility of you noticing the erection in his pants but thank god they’re baggy or else the tent would be obvious. “i missed you.”
aizawa’s heart is bursting in his chest but he places on his mask of unfazed expression perfectly. he still has a role to play after all.
he leans down to whisper in your ear yet his eyes bore intimidatingly into the man’s, “i’m sorry to hear that, sweetheart. but i promised to take good care of you tonight, remember?”
perhaps that was a bit of an overstate, but hey, it works. now that the man has caught on, he immediately walks off the train as soon as it stops– not even bothering whether it's where he’s supposed to go or not as he tries to run away from the possibility of getting into trouble with another guy.
“you okay?” he steps back and takes a good look at you only to realize how you’re avoiding his gaze to hide your evidently flushed face. how cute. “you don’t look so good.”
“i-i’m fine.” you mutter. “thank you for saving me.”
“no problem. it’s a part of my job. i just happened to be here.” he points out in a blatant lie.
you look at him in surprise as if finally connecting the dots, “wait, are you a hero?”
“uh, i guess– yes, i am.”
it’s the first time you’ve ever seen a hero being vague about his profession– or maybe you just made him feel uncomfortable to admit that he’s one when you, a quirkless citizen should be acknowledging the heroes that are risking their lives to protect the country so they should at least deserve some recognition, him included. 
“i’m sorry. i didn’t recognize you and i don’t really keep up with the heroes.” you laugh nervously, afraid of offending the male. though you can’t really tell what he thinks nor can you tell if he even cares from the look on his face but he only observes you silently before his lips turn to a lopsided smile. 
he doesn’t take it to heart, of course, but he finds it endearing that you’re trying to make him feel better. aizawa is not one that likes to be in the limelight anyway, so he doesn’t blame you. 
the number of people in the train gradually dissipates as the train stops station by station, leaving him and you together with some other few who have taken their seats to doze off. aizawa’s platform has long passed by but he decides to stay with you with intent to know where you actually live.  
aizawa doesn’t speak much the whole ride, only answering your questions and listening to you as you talk about your life. he learns that you’re a fresh graduate who just started working in an office and saving up to buy a car so you don’t have to trouble yourself with train rides anymore. he doesn’t know why you entrust him with the fact that you live alone in your apartment, but he’s relieved that you do. maybe it’s easy to trust a hero. man or not. 
but his filthy gaze lingers around your body once in a while– blood rushes to his cock when he sees the plush thighs that are exposed from your short skirt as you sit, the two buttons on your blouse that looks like they’re about to pop off from your breasts and the way your puffy lips jut out slightly when you stare out the window to watch the sun slowly disappears below the horizon to make way for the dark sky. the ride would’ve been peaceful if not for the uncomfortable throb inside his pants right now.
and soon enough, you stand up from your seat and grab your bag in preparation to step off from the agonizing ride. 
“this is my stop. thank you again, eraser head. it’s nice meeting you!” you beam sweetly before you walk off the train and wave him goodbye as the doors slowly closes between the two of you. 
aizawa can’t wait to see you again tomorrow– but now he needs a change of pace. since he doesn’t want to take risk of you finding out that he intentionally missed his platform, he chooses to only ride the train in the evening now.
with his height, aizawa is able to see you looking around as soon as you step into the train with exhaustion written all over your face. however, it’s instantly washed away with an exuberant look when you notice him staring at you from the other side. his heart swells with joy as he watches you push yourself through the crowd with your bag covering your chest protectively.
“found you, eraser!” you chirp as you stand in front of the male.
“oh? so you were looking for me?” he replies coyly, sinking lower into his scarf to keep his burning cheeks out of sight.
you nod eagerly and sigh, “i looked for you this morning too, but i guess you were on a different coach or something.”
“why? you wanted to use me so i’d protect you from perverts?” 
“oops. busted.” you laugh. 
if that’s the one thing that binds you and him, he doesn’t really mind. aizawa is pleased to know that you’re willing to be around him as much as he does. it then comes to a point where you both promise to be in the same coach in the evening.
it has been over a week since aizawa restrained his lecherous intentions. all of those days he has seen you don that short skirt that seems to hug your ass so well. every weekday evening he gets to glance down over your cleavage when you press yourself closely against him and when you’re not facing him? he can feel that ass just lightly brushing, teasing him when the train shakes and he knows he won’t be able to take it any longer. 
what is he waiting for anyway? when this is all what he coveted in the first place? fuck playing the reliable hero. 
aizawa doesn’t want to regard himself and the creeps inside the train as equals. he’s different. he’s a hero and because of that, he got you always wanting to stay close to him without him compelling. you’re so sweet to him, so trusting and you never give him the dirty look whenever he places his hand too low on your back. 
more people are joining in from different stations so as usual, aizawa quickly pulls you into a corner nearby one of the doors which he knows won’t be opening for people to get in and get out. he only keeps guard by standing behind you as you take in the view of the same buildings and skyline.
“you have no idea how much i’m dying to own a car.” you sigh as you stare outside the glass window unheedingly and completely oblivious to your surroundings. 
“yes. you’ve said that a million times.” he carefully inches closer (as much as he can anyway) and bravely takes a whiff of your shampoo that never fails to fill and rouse his senses.
“i’m sorry,” you titter. “you must’ve gotten bored of hearing it.” 
“no, i like it.” he whispers audibly in your ear, just enough for both of you to hear. 
“i’m gla–” you’re suddenly startled when you feel something hard prodding against your ass. you start to feel uneasy and try to shift away but a pair of hands brazenly grab your breasts, almost making you yelp in surprise. 
“shh,” his hot breath fans over the shell of your ear, sending shivers down your spine. “don’t wanna make a scene.”
your heart instantly drops once you realize the person you trust most, a hero at that, is doing the very same thing he protected you from. you can see the vague reflection ahead– the way his hands are massaging your tits as he litters chaste kisses on the crook of your neck.
you attempt to pry his hands off of you, but he only grabs harder and pushes you closer to the front until your forehead presses against the cold glass.
“aizawa– stop.”
aizawa can hear panic lacing in your voice as you whimper but he simply brushes off your plea, too busy soothing his carnal needs by grinding his hard cock against your ass.
“no. you feel so good.” he nibbles your neck, sucking and biting the supple flesh to leave a bruising mark. 
“p-people are gonna see.” 
“that’d be really hot.” he hoists up your short skirt to prop his knees between your thighs before one of his hands guides your hip and compels you to grind your pussy against his own thigh. 
your eyes lingers around the crowd in the train, in between looking for help and hoping that no one sees what he’s doing to you but everyone’s either immersed in their phones or napping and even when someone does notice you, they just turn away uncomfortably. 
“looks like i’m the only hero in this train, kitten.” he says ironically as the hand from your hips snakes in front to rub circles on your clit. “feels good, does it?” he coos as you try to muffle your whines from escaping. 
you’re clawing on his wrist in an attempt to make him stop, but the harder you try to, the harder he presses your mound and clit.
aizawa slips two fingers inside your panties, barely biting back a groan once he uncovers you wet beneath his fingers. 
“what a surprise.” he chuckles, smearing his fingers with your slick before bringing it up to your mouth. “open up, kitten.” 
you purse your lips in retaliation but he easily rubs his thumb on your hardened nipple, causing you to gasp and he quickly shoves his fingers inside your mouth. your tongue wraps around his fingers, sucking and tasting your own flavor as he observes you through the reflection.
“you like how it tastes?” he pulls out his fingers from your mouth with a lewd pop sound before tugging your panties to the side and sliding a digit swiftly inside your cunt. a surprised yelp manages to roll off your tongue from the intrusion but you quickly look down to hide your humiliation and away from the peculiar gazes of others inside the coach.
aizawa hushes you as he thrusts his fingers slowly, savoring the tightness of your walls while also attempting to keep down the squelching noises from your dripping cunt. 
“it’s okay. most of them are going to step off soon, then you can be as loud as you want.” he murmurs, holding you close to his body while his other hand continuously rubs your nipple with his thumb to stimulate you even further until your world is reduced to his satisfying ministrations. 
as time passes by, more and more people have left the train while a few sleepers still remain. aizawa already has two fingers pumping inside your sopping cunt and your slick is already trickling down your thighs as you try hard to hold in your whines. 
“please– i can’t–” your legs have grown weaker and you can only find support by leaning back against his broad chest. your toes are curling inside your heels and your breath has come out shorter and deeper as he keeps on edging you until he thinks it’s safe to fuck you without the presence of other people seeing his unheroic actions.
“you wanna cum, pretty girl?” he finally picks up the pace, causing your body to squirm as you moan breathlessly. 
“y-yes– please–”
“you’re really sucking me in.” he groans, dragging and curling his fingers against the spongy walls that makes your thighs tremble as you edge closer to an orgasm. “cum for me.”
your hands are clenching hard on his forearm and you feel the muscles in your stomach tightening with so much intensity. with his finger pressing down on your throbbing bud, you eventually come undone and you bite on his arm to stifle your screams. 
“that’s it, princess. just what you need after a long day at work, huh?” he kisses your temple soothingly as you regain composure and struggle to fix your skirt, but he stops you from doing so. 
“aizawa..?” 
“i had a hard day at work too, you know.” he tugs your panties down to your ankles and picks it up. “i deserve something from you too, right? and i’m not talking about this.” you see him showing your panties through the glass before he shoves it inside his pocket.
aizawa wraps his scarf around your body and drags you to the middle of the coach. the fabric works as a bind around your wrists and ties onto the bar handle on top of your head to keep you restrained and exposed in front of a man that is sleeping in his seat. 
“let’s hope he doesn’t wake up soon, hm?” he chuckles and takes his place behind you. 
“you’re out of your–!” 
you can barely contain your shriek when aizawa suddenly rips off the middle of your blouse that sends the buttons flying across from you and he quickly slips his hands underneath your bra to fondle your breasts.
“careful not to wake him up, princess.” he tweaks your pebbled nipples between his fingers to provoke the slightest sound from you but you press your lips firmly to conceal your mewls. “or else he’s gonna see me fucking your tight cunt.”
aizawa spits on his hand and smears his saliva with your slick, making you shudder from sensitivity before his fingers prod into your hole to give you a few pumps in preparation for his cock. 
“i’ve been waiting for this for far too long.” he unzips his pants hastily to free his cock from its confinements and you gulp nervously when you see it in the reflection ahead– already throbbing and fully erected. aizawa lifts one of your legs up and rubs his shaft against your wet, puffy folds before lining his cock with your entrance. 
you look down at the man anxiously, praying silently for him to not wake up (or maybe just never at all) to see you with your legs spread in front of his face for god knows how long it’ll be. you bite your lower lip hard when you feel aizawa’s cock sinking inside your cunt, stretching it as he pushes through your walls. 
“shit. so fucking tight.” he growls in your ear as he sheathes his cock into you, pushing through your convulsing walls and until he has filled you to the brim. he starts to pound into you slowly and you bite back a moan when you feel the delicious drags of his veiny cock inside you.
his tongue traces the shell of your ear, licking all around the erogenous zone that has you shuddering and clenching down on him even more. 
“mmph– you’re milking my cock so well, kitten.” he grunts, flicking your nipple with his free hand before toying with your clit. 
“ah– he-he’s gonna wake up.” you pant, tugging your wrists for release as if the way it binds so securely doesn’t tell you enough that it would be impossible.
“then he’s gonna get one hell of a show.” he says nonchalantly before picking up his pace. 
the squelching noises begin to fill the quiet air as aizawa continues to fuck you relentlessly. your slick is dripping down to his balls and your thighs, pooling underneath you and you can feel that you’re close to reaching another orgasm.
as your state has become more delirious, the man in front of you suddenly grunts in his sleep and a cold rush of fear instantly creeps down your spine. yet, aizawa doesn’t seem bothered when he remains to be balls deep inside you.
“i think you’re getting off on this, princess.” he says between breaths, rutting into you harder when he feels how hard you’re clamping around his cock. 
“b-but– i’m gonna cum–” you whine, body squirming as you ground yourself to not cum.
your pussy is spread wide open in front of the man when aizawa easily lifts up your other leg. your heels have fallen under you and now you’re just practically hanging in mid air with his scarf and hands supporting your body. he angles deeper inside your cunny and your head throws back onto his shoulder when you feel the tip brushing against your cervix. 
“then, cum.” it’s baffling how he manages to make it sound simple, not having a care in the world as if his reputation isn’t in the line right now. “look at me.”
you shyly turn your head to meet his heavy lidded eyes before he crashes his lips onto yours. you drown into his fervor kiss while the pressure continues to build in your lower stomach turns more intense and unbearable. at this point, you think it’s best to just swallow your humiliation.
“let it go.” he whispers against your lips and locks his gaze with your wavering eyes. 
“f-fuck– cumming–!” you instantly draw in for a deep kiss to make him swallow your moans as you finally let yourself come undone. it feels oddly relieving in a sense that has your mind turned to mush, together with the feeling of an insurmountable high. the moment your eyes flutter open again, you realize that there are questionable droplets of water staining the glass window in front of you. 
“you’re a little exhibitionist, aren’t you?” he mocks, yet proud and even more aroused that he managed to make you squirt in a public transport. “he might need to clean up.” 
your eyes trail down to the man in front of you to see some amount of your own arousal trickling down on his poor face. you're so dazed with pleasure that you don’t even bother to care anymore and you just let aizawa fucks you through your high before his cock begins to twitch inside your pussy.
“be a good girl and take all my cum.” his pace soon falters and he holds you still before releasing a thick load inside your cunt. after he has emptied out, aizawa leans in the crook of your neck to catch his breath before removing his cock and putting you down gently. 
“that was fucking good.” he sighs gratifyingly as he pulls his pants back up. aizawa unties your restraints and your legs wobble once they touch the ground, but he quickly catches you in his arms to keep you from falling to the floor. as if on cue, the train finally comes to a halt.
“oh, we’re here.” he picks up your shoes and bag before pulling you closer to him to stand in front of the automatic door. “do you need me to carry you or something?”
you look at him confusingly, then to the small map above your head; you’re at least two stops away from your station and three from his. “but this isn’t our stop.”
“well, this one has always been mine.”

Itadori Yuuji Boyfriend Headcanons
A/N: Reader is from America and a black female. Idk why i decided to write this but I think that Yuuji would be a fun boyfriend lmao. I don’t entirely know what the reader’s cursed technique should be so lmk if you have any ideas. Until then enjoy Yuuji and reader being 2 idiots in love. Spoilers for all the eps of jujutsu kaisen up to about episode 11, nothing past that though as I want to finish the show first before reading the manga, so please be respectful of spoilers and label them (and tag if necessary) in the comments. Also srry if this cuts off abruptly bcus of the point the show is at. This is also like, all over the place but whatever.
(also sorry this was posted later than usual oops)
Word Count:  1943
Tumblr media
This dork-
He is so sweet and kind and considerate 
But also a dumbass but also like he’s your dumbass
You and Yuuji are both equally stupid like bless yalls hearts
You and Yuuji met during his time at the Tokyo Academy when you transferred from America
The moment this man saw you walk up with Gojo-sensei he was smitten
Like your skin was glowing??? how???
And you had a slight accent but like he loved it too
And when you came up to greet him and shake hands you smelled so good and your skin was so soft
((He would later come to find out that the root of that was the shea cocoa butter lotion you used))
But yea mans was smitten and he is fully in love with you lmao
Will do literally anything you ask
You hungry? He’s prepared a 5 course, michelin star meal
Want new clothes? He’s been training for the day he could hold your bags for you
Ran out of hair products?? He’s already back with a special box of your products that he had imported from America
To this day you don’t know how he was able to get those products so quickly
He is loves when you tell him things about you from your day, to your times in america, to how your cursed energy works
Yall are the couple that does stupid shit together
Like one time you showed Yuuji one of those life hack videos and he was like 
“We should totally do that” 
And you were like “Bet”
Needless to say Fushiguro was very confused at the sight of bandaids on both of your fingers the next morning
“???What happened?”
“Well you see, I told Yuuji that I should use the glue gun because he didn’t even know where to put the glue stick. And he said nah, I got it and um yea so I fell and the glue gun was plugged in and then he tripped over me and so now we look like this.”
Gojo and Kugisaki thought that this was hilarious while Fushiguro decided that he’d store your guys’ glue gun in his shadows from now on
How yall manage to get through missions you go on together alive is a miracle
Speaking of missions, you eventually ask Yuuji what’s his deal because you feel a powerful aura coming from him but he never uses cursed energy, always cursed weapons
Cue Sukuna’s mouth popping up on the side of his face like “Hey mamas”
(You can’t tell me that Sukuna isn’t the type of guy to ask where his hug at)
“YUUJI WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!”
“Oh, I guess you haven’t met Sukuna yet, huh?”
So he sits you down and explains how he ate Sukuna’s finger and you're sitting there like ‘mhm mhm mhm, sorry you what?’
For like 3 days after he told you that you couldn’t bring yourself to kiss him just because you were processing the fact that Yuuji ate someone’s nasty old ass finger and would have to eat 19 more
And the fact that he’s the vessel of like the worst curse known to man 
During those 3 days, Yuuji’s pouting because he’s like ‘I fucked up, now she doesn’t wanna kiss me let alone talk to me because of this monster inside of me :(’
Meanwhile you’re just like ‘why would anyone eat some random mummified finger?’
Eventually you get wind of Yuuji’s bad mood and immediately, you rush to smooth things over with him.
You knock on his door and hear blankets rustling before he goes, “I’m not in the mood to play fight right now Kugisaki’
“Can I come in baby?”
You immediately hear the most comical almost cartoonish amount of noise ranging from a cup falling over, sheets falling off the bed, and what sounds like Yuuji falling flat on his ass before he opens the door
When he does, you’re laughing and it’s like the sky is no longer grey and the world is filled with color
You smile at each other before your moment is interrupted with Sukuna going “Finally, full offense, his whining was getting annoying”
You step inside his room and apologize for ignoring him, explaining that you just needed time to process things, explaining that you should’ve told him that before dipping
He just grabbed you in a bear hug and lifted you of the ground and spinning you around laughing happily, after all he wasn’t even upset with you, he just missed you
And thus begins the honeymoon phase of your guys’ relationship
Fushiguro is actually really happy for you guys and is the most supportive of your relationship but if anyone asked him to admit that out loud he’d actually apparate to the nearest marooned ship
Nobura doesn’t hate you guys but she thinks all couples are disgusting, so while it’s nothing personal, she does gag when you and Yuuji do so much as make goo goo eyes at each other
Gojo is actually like the main cheerleader of your relationship. 
He is the teacher that changes the seating chart to put students he ships together
He was always pairing you and Yuuji up on missions and placing you as sparring partners like ur not slick
If Gojo is the cheerleader, Sukuna is an actual antagonist
Like the man goes out of his way to CHOOSE violence
Like on time you kissed Yuuji’s cheek on a date and when you pulled back, your lip was bleeding and Sukuna’s mouth was smirking at you
Another thing he likes to do is tell you all of Yuuji’s simp^tm thoughts
Like all of them
Now Yuuji isn’t ashamed of how much he loves you and is in fact very open with it, but he doesn’t need Sukuna telling you that the only reason he bought x mouthwash was because it made your breath smell like “sunshine” and he had to see if it would work on him
Speaking of dates, good luck
Now I stand by the fact that Yuuji would never half-ass a date and things with him are certainly never boring
But he’s also like a country boy in the city and his tourist tendencies tend to get the best of him
Like you’ll be trying to find a spot to eat and when you look back Yuuji’s gone
((Prolly to buy another I <3 Tokyo shirt so you can both match))
He always catches up with you ad you eventually learn that but like the first few times be havin you ready to put up a lost child signal on the loudspeaker
He’s very sweet and this is where his thoughtfulness shines through
You and Yuuji plan dates in the same way one plays bingo
Like because you never know where you’re going to be r when exactly you’ll both be free (especially with Gojo-sensei and his bare minimum ass information) you two tend to go ‘ok well if we’re here we’ll go here and if we’re here, we’ll go here’ and so on and so forth
But Yuuji always remembers such little one-off details about you that make your dates.
Like you mention wanting to try a sushi train and he’s already scrolled through multiple yelp reviews and watched every youtube restaurant review like 9 times
But every high has a low and Yuuji and your’s low comes suddenly and it brings you crashing to the ground with no warning and nothing to slow your descent
When your class of first years were sent to exorcise the special grade cursed womb
When Yuuji’s hand got blown off and he told you to run you froze, your mind racing faster than your legs could even start
“(Y/N) RUN!” Yuuji’s voice broke you out of your fear-based trance
“I- I...can’t...I can’t leave you!” you cried out all your rational senses screamed at you to go, run, he had Sukuna and you were barely a grade 2 sorcerer. But your intuition told you if you left him you wouldn’t see him alive again.
You were trapped in a paralysis of indecision but the choice was made for you when a sticky tongue wrapped around your midriff and you were gulped into the mouth of one of Fushiguro’s frogs
“Goddamn it Fushiguro! Let me go! I need to... save... him.” You were outside the building before you could even finish arguing.
You glared up at Fushiguro but your eyes softened some when you saw how beat up Kugisaki looked.
He gave you this look that said he did what he had to do and he didn’t care what you had to say about it 
You and him waited in the rain for Yuuji or Sukuna to exit the building
You tried to focus yourself and save your negative emotions for your cursed attack
When Sukuna inevitably appeared, one finger stronger, you were fully prepared to fight him
However, he didn’t seem interested in fighting you and more engaged in fighting with Megumi
You tried to urge Fushiguro to wait it out, eventually Sukuna would lose control, but when Sukuna took Yuuji’s heart hostage, you both knew you’d have to fight
You and Fushiguro gave it your all but when Yuuji came back he still died 
It took all your strength to not completely fall apart after his death and the support from the second years as well as Kugisaki and Fushiguro helped
You’d tried to visit him at the morgue but Shoko only told you that she didn’t think it’d be a good idea.
You still slept in his sweaters and the things that smelled like him from time to time, trying to make the idea of him last, but after a month, the smell of him had started to fade
Everything about Yuuji’s memory seemed to become leached away with time, from his smell, to the wear present on things he’d given to you
You couldn’t help but feel resentful towards yourself but also to Sukuna, he’d taken Yuuji from you with the same care that one would throw litter on the ground
The pain in your chest didn’t wane either, it only became ignorable to a degree as training for the exchange with the Kyoto students became more intense
Fushiguro is a comfort to you as well, aside from you, him and Yuuji were the closest to each other and so he gets a lot of what you’re going through and doesn’t push when you become more withdrawn
He also lets you pet his demon dog too but when you ask him why he’s letting you pet it he just says ‘because no one would believe you if you told them’ lies
The bastard really just does it because he knows you’re sad and he doesn’t want you to be sad
Speaking of the Kyoto students, Zenin Mai and Toudou Aoi are permanently on your shit list
You’re relieved that Panda, Maki, and Inumaki came to your guys’ aid but like if you had your way Mai wouldn’t even exist
Anyways Maki has Panda physically restrain you while she tries to calm you down 
“(Y/N), you can kick her ass at the exchange!”
When you calm down, Panda puts you down and even though Mai’s long gone with Todou to go get his handshake, you make a promise that carries through the wind
‘Zenin Mai, pray that the next time you run across me I’m feeling kind, because if not-’, the last word is lost as the wind picks up but Mai feels a shiver rack through her body that more than ensures your message.

The Little Things
Druig x self tasm!Peter Parker x Harley
Description: sometimes the little smudges  just mess up the whole big picture.
warnings: fighting, teasing, idk me as a human
A/N: Written with @xxlastoftheemosxx, this is the side blog of @scarthefangirl​
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Harley and Peter arrive at Scar and Druig’s apartment just outside of New York City. The formers apartment is getting debugged this coming week. Peter insists on getting both suitcases because of his superstrength, which annoys Harley because she is perfectly capable of carrying her own. Nevertheless, she knocks on the door of the apartment. 
There is a second of silence before they hear Scar shout, “Coming!” and the brown haired woman opens the door with a smile. She waves them in the big apartment and shuts the door after the young pair enter. 
“Thanks for letting us stay,” Harley says, even though she already thanked the two over the phone. 
“Of course! Anything for a friend. Besides, I have yet to meet the famous Peter Parker!” Scar exclaims brightly. 
“I’ve been a bit busy, sorry,” Peter says, offering a hand to the brunette. She takes it with a small shake. 
“Oh my gosh, you haven’t met Druig either have you Harley?” Scar questions with sudden shock. 
“Nope, he’s never around when I swing by,” Harley shrugs, “I was beginning to think he was putting off meeting me.”
“He tends to make people feel that way.” Scar says with a laugh, “Even me sometimes! But anyway, how about a snack? Peter must be tired from lugging all those bags.” 
“First off, it's two bags, and he wouldn’t let me carry mine, I tried,” Harley chuckles. 
Scar leads them to the small kitchen and opens the fridge, looking for something appetizing.  “What are you two in the mood for?”
“Dunno? I guess I’ll just have a glass of water,” Harley shrugs, before glancing at Peter.
“Do you have any chips? I could go for some chips,” Peter responds.
“Sure! What kind?” The woman in front of the fridge asked, shutting the door. She makes her way to a cupboard and pours a glass of water from the fridge. She sets it in front of Harley and looks to Peter curiously. 
“Do you have Doritos?”
“Basic. But yeah I do.”
“Sometimes basic is best,” Peter argues. Scar rolls her eyes and heads to the small pantry, pulling out a clipped bag of Doritos. 
“Careful not to let Druig see you eating those. He kills for those, literally. I will be sure to get more at the grocery store tomorrow for you both.” Scar chuckles. She is deadly serious about the killing part, though. She had never seen a man so murderous. 
“I don’t know, I could probably take him,” Peter says, exuding misplaced confidence. Scar bursts into laughter and dramatically wipes a tear from her eye.
“You’re cute, sweety.” The girl shakes her head with another short fit of laughter.
“Peter, darling, I love you, but you can’t beat Druig. He has mind control powers,” Harley says, patting Peter’s arm.
“And he is super strong- I mean, he is slightly more experienced than you.” Scar searches for the correct words, so she doesn’t sound so smitten. 
“I’m super strong too,” Peter mumbles dejectedly.
“Mmm, you know he is immortal right? He has had years to learn how to fight. Besides, he can just tell your mind not to and your body just goes ‘oop- I’m out.’” Scar giggles. 
“I could build something to stop the mind control,” Peter insists. Everything becomes dead silent when the front door opens. Scar smirks at Peter and shouts for her husband to come to the kitchen. 
“Watch your back Peter.” She whispers as the man enters. 
As if in defiance Peter eats another Dorito, while Harley shakes her head laughing.
“Is that the last bag of Doritos?” Druig puts on a deep voice, having learned the whole conversation from the mind of Harley. He walks over to Peter and stands in front of him boldly. 
“Maybe? I was just handed the bag? I don’t know what’s in your pantry,” Peter answers. Druig’s eyes barely fade orange when Scar bumps his arm to stop him.
“They are guests. We will treat them with respect. Right?” He nods after his wife’s words. “How about we show you to your room? It is getting dark, maybe we can start a movie after we all get settled.” 
“That sounds fantastic! It’s nice to finally meet you, Druig,” Harley says, waving. Scar shows them to the guest room, which includes a bathroom. Scar and Druig get some food and a few movie options ready. 
Meanwhile Peter and Harley began to unpack. Peter even changed into something more comfortable. They meet the other couple on the couch and Druig lists the options. There are countless options and Scar and Druig look to the pair on the couch for answers. 
“Rogers: The Musical?” Harley says unsure. Druig rolls his eyes and starts to put it on. Scar already has pj’s on because she is a lazy person and never leaves, so she jumps onto the couch a short distance from the others. 
The intro music begins to play, and Harley squeals a bit. Scar looks at the screen with anticipation, unlike the boys. But they power onward without a complaint. Well, Druig powers on, Peter would never admit it in front of Harley or Druig, but he loves musicals.
The movie night was going well, not a hitch in the slightest, well until Peter tangled his feet with Harley’s. She promptly kicks them away, even going so far as to push Peter away from her. Scar tries to muffle the laugh escaping her lips. 
“Mm, anyway, liking the show?” She clears her throat, hoping to pull Harley’s focus away from the glare she is sending Peter’s way.
“Yeah, reminds me of the good old days, before I fell in love with an annoying idiot,” Harley deadpans. 
“Same girl.” Scar jokes. “But to be fair neither of you are wearing socks, so you both disgust me.” 
“I can’t help it. They just disappear into nothingness. I barely have any left!”
“They’re in our couch, Harls. They’re always in our couch,” Peter sighs, shaking his head. Druig clears his throat, but it can’t cut the tension.
“I never lose any socks. I am disgusted by not wearing them. Unlike this little-” Druig cuts her off before she regrets anything. Harley moves next to Scar, away from her boyfriend and his feet.
“Hey. That's mean.” Peter pouts. Druig speaks into Scar’s mind (something she has had to get used to having happen) ugh, she ruined your cuddles. Scar chuckles and mutters something about being embarrassed.
“Three is a crowd Harley.” Scar states, hoping Harley catches her drift.
“Yeah Druig, go sit with poor little Peter.” Harley gives Druig a quick glare. He facepalms and pulls the blanket into his own hands, standing up.
“You two are a hazard to society.” Druig points to Peter and Harley.
“Excuse you? We’re superheroes!” Harley insists.
“If this is what heroes are now, I fear for this planet. I am going to bed.” Druig groans. Scar whines and begs him not to.
“Nooooo, come back. Don’t let these morons ruin anything.” Scar says in a child-like fashion. Harley gasps and dramatically hides under the blanket with Peter.
“You chose this moron! You willingly became my friend!” She calls out from under the blanket.
“Mmm, the friendship has always been a little one-sided.” Scar says sarcastically. 
“Rude!”
“You did invite yourself to our house for a week, just saying.” The girl alone on the couch teases. 
“You invited us!” Harley counters.
It’s at this point that Peter and Druig are looking at each other wondering what they had gotten themselves into. Druig had always wondered that of course, knowing the level of insanity his wife was at. 
Everyone slowly went to their rooms, hoping for a foot-less, peaceful night.  Of course this wasn’t going to happen, if it did, it would have been a miracle. The screaming rage of a very tired Harley echoed through the state of New York everytime Peter even brushed his feet against her. 
“I swear to the gods Peter, if you don’t stop it I will kill you!” Harley says finally having enough.
“Whatever, you’re way more annoying,” Peter sighs into his pillow.
It was the next morning when everyone sat around the small table. They filled all the seats, seeing as it was a small table meant for the apartment. Peter and Harley sat at the largest distance they could, giving looks to each other as Scar and Druig got everyone their requested breakfast. 
Harley had attempted to help her friend, but Scar had insisted that her and Peter were guests. So there they sat, Harley avoiding Peter’s gaze, waiting for breakfast to be served. Secretly they both wanted to make up already, but they were both way too stubborn to make the first move.
It was Druig opening the fridge that pulled Harley out of her thoughts. To her complete and utter horror he took a swig of milk out of the carton. She tried her best not to comment, but her words just slipped out, “That’s disgusting.” 
“I told you to leave the kitchen Druig! All you’re doing is stirring up trouble!” Scar shouts in aggravation. 
“Give the guy a break, it’s not that gross,” Peter mumbles. Scar’s eyes light up in flames.
“Peter Parker, you better not have done that before, especially while we’ve been together!” Harley all but shouts, tone getting progressively angrier.
“It’s not like you’ve noticed,” Peter glares, “Besides you and I already swap spit on a daily basis. What's the big deal?” 
“Listen, y’all better shut up at my dining table before I put any more poison into these eggs.” Scar snaps at the two, forcing the carton out of Druig’s hands and throwing it away. She sets a plate of food in front of everyone and sits down. 
“Sorry Scar, I don’t know what’s gotten into us. We’re not usually like this,” Harley sighs, poking at her food with a fork. Scar inhales deeply and smiles.
“It’s alright. Normally Druig isn’t this annoying and rude.” She snaps with a clearly forced smile. Druig looks up from his fork with a glare,
“I can read what you are thinking.” he says with a deadly tone. Scar again inhales and exhales deeply, pressing her shiny smile further. 
“Wait, you’re not like reading me and Peter’s thoughts are you?” Harley asks, suddenly concerned.
“I tell him not to do that, but he probably is because he has no basic respect.” Scar forces a laugh. 
“Great…” Harley trails off.
“That’s cool! What am I thinking right now!” Peter asks excitedly. Harley can’t help but smile at the dork even though she’s still mad.
“That you love musicals, but are too embarrassed to admit it, that you think Harley is adorable when she’s angry, and I won’t even repeat the last thing because of how utterly bizarre it is,” Druig sighs.
“You’re done. You’re done.” Scar says, grabbing his plate. “Go to work please.”
“It’s a Tuesday… you know I work on specific days babe.” Druig complains, but has a smile when she allows him to eat.
“Don’t tell us what he is thinking.” Scar mumbles, stuffing her mouth with toast.
“In all fairness, I did ask,” Peter defends Druig.
“Boys, let’s not read minds while eating, especially Peter’s mind. God knows what he’s thinking at any given moment,” Harley sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose.
“Why so uptight today, dang.” Druig says to his wife who doesn’t take it lightly. 
“I am going for a walk.” She says, leaving her dish on the table and going to grab a coat. 
“I’ll come with you if you don’t mind?” Harley says hesitantly.
“Alright, that’s fine. Don’t forget your coat. It’s a little chilly.” Scar smiles gently at the girl in front of her. 
Harley runs to her room and grabs one of her many many jackets, before heading out the door with Scar.
“Boys, am I right?” Harley jokes. Scar chuckles and nods her head.
“Yeah. I’m sorry your first days at our place were awfully sucky.” Scar says with a guilty look on her freckled face. 
“It’s fine everyone argues eventually.”
“Yeah but it was totally rude of Druig.” Scar pauses and rolls her eyes at Harley's face, “Fine. It was totally rude of Druig, and me.” 
“I mean me and Peter weren’t much better,” Harley admits.
“You know, early on in me and Druig’s marriage we spent a night with Sersi and Sprite. We fought all night over whether or not we should get a new door. We ended up getting one. Oh my word, I felt so bad for those poor girls. It was such a silly fight!” Scar says with a chuckle, remembering the scene. 
“Peter and I are always fighting about the dishwasher, he puts the forks, spoons, and knives together,” Harley says, annoyed before her face softens at the next sentence. “He says it’s because they can’t hang out together in the drawer.”
“That’s funny!! Druig always argues with me because I always wear socks. I sleep in them, I always wear them. Unless I am swimming or showering.” Scar laughs as she looks at her feet, feeling bad for fighting with her husband. 
“Yeah, you know, I can’t stand how much he worries about my wellbeing, I get why, and don’t get me wrong it’s super sweet, but it drives me up the wall,” Harley smiles fondly.
“Oh don’t get me started on that. I know I am human, but I am not made of glass! He thinks because he is immortal or whatever that I am going to break at a single touch.” Scar laughs at her own sentence (that is what usually happens). 
Harley looks down playing with her fingers, “You know, sometimes I look at Peter, and I still get butterflies. I still can’t believe I get to date someone so kind and selfless, that I get to wake up next to him every day. He’s annoying as hell, but he’s worth it.”
“Yeah, I mean to think when I was a young kid I literally prayed for a man like Druig. And he walked right into my life. I can’t be happier for myself.” Scar laughs, wiping a spare tear. “Oh great. We have to apologize, don't we?” She rolls her deep green eyes.
“Yeah, I think we do,” Harley sighs, “I may have threatened manslaughter.”
“Yeah well let’s not talk about what I threatened to do with the frying pan when you and Peter were waiting for breakfast.” Scar grimaces at the thought of her past threat. 
“I suck at apologizing, I never know what to say,” Harley says, nervousness evident in her voice.
“I suck at it because I know what I need to say but I don’t want to admit to failure.” Scar says to the point. “Usually I add a gesture into the mix. I will get or give him something while I apologize.” 
“That’s a good idea. Wanna head to the store?”
“Yeah, there is a Walmart just around the corner. What would the boys want?”
“Probably Doritos,” Harley chuckles.
“Yeah, they both enjoy those, don't they?” Scar laughs with the raven haired girl. 
The two head to Walmart, acquiring the chips, and begin their way back to the apartment. It isn’t long until the door is unlocked and the two are seeking out their partners. The boys are found sitting on the couch, clearly moping around without their lovers. The glares the girls receive is enough to make Scar second guess apologizing. But she pulls her dignity together and eyes Harley. Get the chips, is what the look says.
So she pulls them out of the plastic bag by her side, “Peace offering anyone?” She attempts to joke. Scar makes a pity chuckle for the girl. 
“Come on boys. We know you want the chips.” Scar says with a halfhearted smile. 
“Look, Peter, I’m still getting used to all your little quirks, some of which are infuriating, but at the end of the day I’ll somewhat happily deal with them, because it means I get to be with you,” Harley says, moving to sit beside him.
“What is this? A wedding? I know your quirks Druig, I just don’t like them” Scar says receiving a nudge from Harley. “Sorry, sorry. I know that we have always struggled with these silly things. But I want to apol- ap- apologize. For being insensitive.” Scar pauses between words, struggling with the apology. 
“I forgive you. Now come hug me.” Druig laughs opening his arms. He knows Scar loves him and means her apology. She runs into his arms with eagerness. 
“Peter?” Harley says hopefully. Peter replies by resting his head on her shoulder and intertwining their hands. He nods onto her shoulder.
“Wow okay, get a room you two.” Scar laughs.
“Not in this house are they doing the devil’s tango.” Druig shakes his head at the pair. He shakes violently at the simple thought. 
“Don’t worry, we’d never do that to you guys,” Harley chuckles.
“I would do it to you guys!” Scar grins. “I’m joking, I’m joking.” 
“You’re awful, I see why you’re friends with Harls,” Peter adds.
“Shut up, you love me,” Harley retorts.
“Anyway, how about we all go out to dinner tonight? Double date.” Scar suggests. 
“Nowhere fancy and it’s a deal!”
“I mean yeah I was thinking about Mcdonalds.” Scar says, being plainly honest. Druig laughs.
“We already had that like 3 days ago babe.” He says.

hello! me n @mattieswheelers wrote another fic!! tiff is the most incredible writing partner and i- i just love them???? thanky so much for writing with me you are a stunning writer aaaa (y'all there will be a second chapter stay tuned fdhhddh aLSO we are posting this on ao3 it will be there at some point)
in other news: this was originally a request!! @notsomightymightytiger it may have taken me uh- a good couple of months but here is your fic!!!
Tumblr media
for reference, these numbers apply to these tropes: first kiss/flowers of romance/blind date
LOVE YOU KIERA AND TIFF AAAAA HOPE YOU LIKE
tw: swearing, alcohol and drunkenness but not in an angsty farrah way just in a silly oops first date way, as per usual if there's anything at all you want me to tag let me know :D
---
Eva thought she was doing perfectly fine without a romantic partner. Her life was normal, one filled with work and friends and scrolling through Pinterest.
Apparently, in the eyes of her best friend, this was not a normal life. Farrah had always been a bit extra, that one kid in highschool who always seemed to know where the best parties were, or who was known by name to the baristas at the local Starbucks, and by the ripe old age of 22, she believed that a romantic partner was crucial to living a fulfilling life.
Or, at least, that you should at least try romance once before becoming a hermit in the woods, especially if your name was Eva Sanchez.
(“Look, normally I wouldn’t be like this,” Farrah drawled, leaning against a counter, “But deep inside  you are nothing but a useless gay at heart-”
Her phone buzzed.
“-and you haven’t dated anyone, like, ever, and if I have to be the only one constantly dragging you out to social gatherings, I’m going to die early. So do me a solid, will you?”
“Hey-!”)
Eva did not agree.
But, she was a loyal friend, and that was how she found herself sitting in an overly posh restaurant on some random blind date with some random person that she’d never even seen before. It would be an understatement to say she was a little bit nervous, but then again, whenever Farrah was involved, that was normal.
***********: hi sorry i got your number from the blind date place thing but uh are you the person at the table in the corner
***********: ???denim jacket ?? pride pin??
Eva smiled, glancing up at the door. There was another person looking a little lost in the entrance, very obviously trying not to draw attention to themselves, their phone held close to their face as they squinted around at the restaurant. They were pretty, dark hair pulled up into a loose ponytail, obviously not dressed for a restaurant as upper class as this one. Eva liked them immediately. Raising a hand, she waved in their direction, laughing as her date gasped dramatically, hurrying over and nearly overturning a tray of drinks on their way.
“Hello.”
“Look-” Eva’s date slumped in the seat opposite, one hand awkwardly held behind their back. “I dunno about you, but I certainly did not willingly sign up for this. You see, my friend wanted me to apparently live a more interesting life and stop relying on Tumblr as my only source of interaction with anyone, and my friend is very persuasive, so here I am.”
Eva raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah, so I wanted to get that out of the way before we even introduce ourselves. I am here out of spite only, so, uh, I hope you’re not too desperate.” They paused, finally taking a breath. “Right. The more I think about this, the more embarrassed I get.”
“It’s okay.” Eva gave a noise which sounded suspiciously like a snort. “Let’s not think about it then. I’m Eva. She/her. It’s nice to meet you, unwilling datemate.”
They grinned. “Kate. She/they.” She gasped a little like she’d forgotten something. “Oh! I brought flowers. Chess said it would be romantic.”
Eva accepted the offered flowers with a blush. This date was going better than expected. Farrah was going to lose her shit when she heard about it. “Wait- You have a friend called Chess?? Like, the game???”
Kate rolled their eyes, casually snatching a bright pink cocktail off a passing waiter’s tray. “Duh. You didn’t really see me walk in this fucking posh ass restaurant in my flannel and converse and think I’d be normal, right?”
Eva laughed then, properly. It had only been a few short, chaotic minutes, but she was already warming to this mystery person and, God, they had good taste in flowers. Even if Eva’s nerd hermit brain did helpfully choose that moment to remind her that this particular bunch of flowers presented a meaning that translated almost exactly to ‘fuck you’. She wondered if Kate was aware of that. However, perhaps that was a fun fact for the second date.
-
“Hey, Eva?” Kate was slightly tipsy. Only a little bit! Really not that bad. Not at all. Definitely not too drunk for a first date. Shut up. “Hey! You’re- so cool.”
Eva giggled - she was equally as drunk, but not quite so intoxicated as to stop wondering why the restaurant hadn’t thrown them out yet. “Noooooo. ‘m a nerd.”
“Yeah, but a cool nerd.” Kate twirled the decorative candle between her fingers, drawing stares from disapproving patrons. The flame reflected in Eva’s glasses, making her just a little bit more smitten by the second. They enclosed their hand around the candle holder as best they could, standing up just a little shakily. “Eva-” It was like they got a rush from just saying her name. Eva thought it was endearing. “Hey- we- we should go…”
“Why?” She narrowed her eyes, also standing up, her long-discarded denim jacket slung over one arm, the other naturally slipping to link arms with Kate.
“....Arson.” Kate sounded entirely serious, still twizzling the candle in one hand. Eva blinked dumbly at her, mouth slightly open. They pressed a gentle kiss to the side of Eva’s mouth, giggling uncharacteristically at the motion. “I’m jokingggg! Don’t look so shook, my dude.”
Eva stuttered a little, letting Kate pull her finally out of the restaurant, marvelling at the fact she’d only known this incredible, crazy person for a matter of hours. Who knew where tonight would take them?
-
They found themselves in a park, gazing up at the stars, now dim in the reflections of the city lights. Kate’s phone flashed 11:46 in the dark, the lock screen filled with notifications from a contact who’s name consisted only of a chess piece.
Eva lay down on the grass, spreading her arms out towards the stars. “Do you ever think about life?”
“Sure. All the time. I’m alive, and so are you, and I think you’re really pretty. Does that count?” Kate flopped down beside her.
“I- I mean, yeah- um,” Eva tried not to sound flustered, thankful for the darkness that hid the color rising in her cheeks. “But like, life. Scientifically. Relatively.”
“Uh-huh. Yeah, I totally do. Um. Do I?”
Eva laughed, turning her head slightly to gaze at Kate. Under the light of the stars, they looked… ethereal. And really, really, really beautiful. And-
Eva coughed slightly, turning back towards the night sky. “Just… think about it. I’m lying here beside you, on a giant marble that hurtles through space. Relatively speaking, our orbit and path are unique, and all around us, the other planets are… swirling in harmony, and we’re just. We’re just here to see it.”
Kate hummed. “You sound like those philosophical people, all ‘if a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, did it really fall?’ and ‘relatively speaking I am relatively here, and I’m relatively certain… blah blah blah.’”
“Huh. Do I?” Eva shrugged, putting her hands behind her head. “I dunno. I’m drunk. I think. Oh, no, I’m relatively drunk, ha ha- okay no, I’m just drunk.”
“You are,” Kate nodded wisely. “We both are.”
“Do you know what Albert Einstein said once?” Eva asked abruptly, closing her eyes. “He said, ‘When you’re courting a nice girl, an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder, a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.’ And if that isn’t the most relatable thing he’s ever said, then, well- okay yeah I’ve lost my train of thought.”
“Wow,” said Kate. “Did Albert Einstein court lots of nice girls?”
“Pfft.” Eva rolled onto her side, laughing openly in Kate’s face. “Sure. Why not.”
They rolled to face Eva, curling up into a ball, softer than the 22-year-old had seen her all evening. “Not as nice as the one I’m courting right now.”
“Even though neither of us really wanted to be here earlier?”
“Yeah. Y’know, I’m fucking glad our best friends basically set us up. It’s very pog of them.”
“You did not just say ‘pog’. You did not.” Eva groaned into the slightly damp, slightly disgusting grass, listening to Kate cackle next to her.
“Shit, dude, my secret’s out. I’m just as much of a nerd as you.” She leant their head on Eva’s outstretched arm, burrowing into her side.
Eva paused then, draping her other arm around Kate, thinking quietly. It was stupid, really, that they were cuddling in the openness of a park at almost midnight. Dangerous, definitely, especially when you took in the candle still flickering far too close to Kate’s now loose hair. Some more sensible people, maybe Farrah’s sister, would say that it was stupid how close they’d grown in so few hours. But Kate and Eva weren’t sensible people, not really, and maybe this was completely normal for them. Nerds lived life differently. “We’re not like other girls… we’re nerds.”
Kate barked out a laugh again, pressing yet another small kiss to the top of Eva’s head.
Eva thought she might melt into a puddle right then and there.
God, she was so in love.
Kate looked up at the sky. “Y’know, for all your philosophical talk, you should be an inspirational speaker. Be on goddamn TedTalks or something, blow the crowd away with all that ‘the future’s in the palm of my hand!!’ bullshit.”
“Well,” Eva said, trying to sound completely sober (and failing), “I think all I could ever want is in the palm of my hand, right now.”
Kate paused for a moment, registering the fact that Eva had just cupped her hands around their face. “Wow. That was smooth.”
“Right?? I’m honestly impressed and I was the one who said it. Wait, is that hubris? Oh shoot, am I developing an ego? Or maybe I’m just drunk?” Eva’s head was seriously starting to hurt.
“You deserve an ego,” Kate nodded sagely. “You are so amazing. Seriously. You should have an ego. Dab on the haters and all that jazz, right? Right.”
Eva giggled, unable to take her eyes away from Kate’s. “What the shit?”
“Dude! Dab on the haters. ‘m fuckin’ right, and you know I am.”
“Mkay.”
“Lit.” Kate dragged her gaze from Eva’s, instead staring up at the stars. “If we weren’t drunk right now, I’d be kissing the hell out of you.”
Eva pouted. Apparently Drunk-Eva was limited to the facial expressions of a twelve year old. “Who’s to say you can’t kiss me now.”
“We’re drunk, Eva.” They waved their hands, casually flipping off the moon. “Consent.”
“If you think about drunk...ness. Drunkenness? Drunkness. Whatever.” She coughed. “If you think about it like maths, then because we’re both drunk, it cancels out, right? Like, drunk you minus drunk me equals zero drunks overall, yeah?” Pausing, she ran a hand over her face, watching Kate smirk and wriggle closer out of the corner of her eye. “What I’m saying is, yes, I give you permission to kiss me-” Kate leaned closer and Eva laid a gentle finger on their lips. “But only if I get to kiss you back.”
The two met in the middle, naturally coming together. Some might describe them as magnets, two poles attracted, unable to stay away from each other. Others might say soulmates, meant to find each other from birth. Or, just maybe, stars, gravitationally pulled together, ready to explode into another plane of existence, one so different from our reality that we can’t even begin to imagine the wonders that they’ll find.
However, this is reality, and somehow Kate and Eva are still grounded on our Earth, stars maybe, but ones made of ancient stardust no longer free to travel the universe. They found themselves pulling apart after two worlds collided, an unknown period of time passing as it happened. Eva’s fingers didn’t untangle themselves from their comfortable seat amongst Kate’s hair, the closeness making their noses brush, spouting giggles from both young adults.
“Well, that was fun.” Kate brushed hair out of Eva’s face, one arm still wrapped tight around her waist, pulling her closer as she shivered in the night air.
“Yeah?” Eva pressed her forehead to theirs. “Why don’t we try it again, huh?”
---
“I told you so,” Farrah smirked, picking at a freshly baked blueberry muffin. “See, that wasn’t so bad, was it?”
Eva huffed, failing to come up with an argument.
Over by the kitchen counter, Mattie snorted. “I find it kinda funny that the single girl insists that love is the answer to anything.”
“Well- it’s not like I’ve never dated!”
“Suuuuure,” Mattie rolled her eyes, hopping off the counter and snatching a muffin. “Anyways, at least Eva has a significant other now. That’s the biggest victory, right? Other than the celebratory muffins, of course.”
Eva sighed. “Is it really that big of a deal that Farrah’s plan worked?”
“Yep!” Farrah grinned, taking a bite of muffin.
“Technically, my plan, but okay,” Mattie shrugged.
Eva almost dropped her muffin. “What.”
Mattie grinned, a devilish glint appearing in her eye. “Believe it or not, I am also friends with none other than the amazing Chess, and since her friend Kate- who is also my friend, by the way- was being a mopey mess around the same time as you, I just had to take it upon myself to play matchmaker! So I’d like at least 50% of the credit and reward, please and thank you.”
“I- what-” Eva sputtered, trying to come to terms with the new information. “Mattie- you- oh my God.”
“Oh my God indeed,” Mattie bit into her muffin and swallowed. “So anyways, you’re welcome for getting you a girlfriend.”
Eva stared at the younger girl, mouth slightly open and muffin hanging loosely in her hand. Farrah clapped a hand over her mouth as she wheezed through a mess of sugar and blueberries, earning herself a death stare from Eva. Phone in one hand, Mattie continued eating her muffin as though nothing had happened, the teasing look on her face only exaggerating as her phone pinged with a message. “Oh! Speaking of, Chess is outside-”
She was cut off as the door burst open, the handle crashing into Eva’s bookcase, knocking her alarm clock to the ground and presenting two dishevelled figures in the doorway. One of them, a tall student probably in their last year of uni, puffed out a breath, a hand tightly clinging to a much shorter student squirming angrily. “Before you say anything, I tried to prevent any of this happening. Wheeler, I’m blaming you entirely for this.”
Mattie only laughed, offering Chess a muffin with her free hand, “Dude, it was totally your idea.”
Eva tried very hard not to stare as Kate finally freed herself from Chess’ grasp with an indignant yelp. “Fuck off! Eva, babe, sweetheart, love of my life, tell me you didn’t fucking know about this beforehand or I will break up with you.”
“No! God, no! You know I didn’t want to be there just as much as you did.” She rested her head gently on top of Kate’s, arms draped over their shoulders. “Believe you me, I’ve also been sorely betrayed today.”
Farrah gagged across the kitchen. “Ew. We should never have set you two up.”
“Bitch.” Eva grinned affectionately at her best friend, batting Kate’s hand down as they sent a middle finger in Farrah’s direction. Conversations carried on for a while, Chess finally being introduced to Farrah, with a muffin being forcefully placed into her hand. Kate whispered to Eva for a second before going out to take a call. Eva smiled knowingly, leaning on the counter to address Mattie, “So…”
Mattie made a face as Eva raised an eyebrow in her direction. “What are you thinking, Sanchez, I don’t like that face.”
“I don’t know…” She feigned thinking, sticking her tongue out as Kate re-entered the room. “Maybe, a little thank-you gift?? Y’know, me and Kate were thinking just now… Seeing as you set us up so nicely, how about you try a blind date yourself?”
Chess and Farrah stifled a laugh in unison, choking a little on their muffins as Mattie’s eyes got wider in horror. “You didn’t.”
Kate smiled sweetly. “Yup! Tonight, seven thirty. It’s payback time, kid.”
“I hate you.”

WangxianFicRecs Presents: Hair Brushing & Caretaking
E,
Tumblr media
Hair Brushing & Caretaking
ialwaysfuckingchooseyou asked:
Hi, love your recs! Do you have any fics that focus on wangxian brushing each others hair? Domestic fluff.
Here’s a list that features (to different degrees) hair brushing and caretaking.  (Seriously, I just did a search for “hair”.)  I’ll do another post later just for domestic, curtain fics... since most of the hair brushing stuff I found was more hurt/comfort.
As always, if y’all think of any that should be on the list, comment or reblog with your suggestions.  Everyone else will appreciate it!
Continuation
by thefaceofno
T, 14k, wangxian, my bookmark/post
Summary:  “How long has it been?” Xichen asks.
Wangji looks up from the tea he had been pouring. “Since?”
“Since you started as Excellency.”
Since Wei Wuxian walked away from him, he means.
“Two summers.” Wangji says. He doesn’t like to count the time. He is not much of an artist, and he had not asked anyone to draw Wei Wuxian before he left. He thinks he has forgotten the shape of his cheek when he smiles. He does not remember forgetting Wei Wuxian last time. He does not like to count the time.
(A continuation of the live action drama.)
Jiang Cheng’s Mysterious Fever
by Hades_the_Blingking
T, 14k, xicheng, background wangxian,  my bookmark/post
Summary:  Set around Episode 03 of the Untamed drama. The Jiangs release their sons on the unsuspecting Lan Clan and Jiang Cheng has to try to figure out what an emotion is. Lan Xichen is having the time of his life wooing an oblivious yet very reactive Jiang Cheng. The Jiang entourage take bets on how smitten Jiang Cheng really is with the blindingly beautiful Lan Sect leader. Just a fun lil thing I did for my friend’s birthday! :D
Wherever the Chaos
by shadowsapiens
T, 3k, wangxian, my bookmark/post
Summary: Perhaps it’s a fool’s goal to keep Wei Wuxian from hurting himself. Perhaps it’s enough to stand by his side, to put him back together when he breaks.
Little Moments
by Hades_the_Blingking
T, 3k, wangxian, my bookmark/post
Summary:  When he is visiting Yiling, Lan Zhan notices that Wei WuXian has not been taking care of himself as much as he should be. So after A-Yuan inadvertently discovers a hot spring, Lan Zhan decides that it is perfect place to tend to him. Even with chaos and uncertainty surrounding them, they can find a little peace.
(A scene inserted into Episode 29, after Lan Zhan is served tea (oop, water), but before Wei WuXian leads him down the mountain.)
Stained With Blood and Tears
by FaramirsBlessing
G, 63k, wangxian, my bookmark/post
Summary:  A night hunt gone wrong leaves Lan Zhan greviously injured and Wei Wuxian reeling.
Strange Darling
by etymologyplayground
T, 7k, wangxian, my bookmark/post
Summary:  “I’ve been trying not to think about Xiao-xiong and Song-xiong,” Wei WuXian confesses. “I didn’t know them that well either, but I really liked meeting them. I guess I had known what their deal was before, but to actually meet them was like, Here, idiot, here’s two cultivators doing exactly what you want to do! It’s possible after all!” Lan WangJi stops breathing. Wei WuXian continues, “I thought then that maybe after everything was over I could…” He stops and clears his throat. Then he admits, “Well, I sort of fantasized about whisking you away from Gusu and convincing you to join their sect with me.”
“Oh,” Lan WangJi breathes.
– you know that part in CQL where they’ve just met xxc and sl for the first time and lwj watches them leave with the most unbelievably intense yearning in his eyes? you know how that’s gonna make yi city EVEN WORSE? yeah
Beside him when he wakes
by kaminikaku T, 8K, my bookmark/post
Summary: Lan WangJi was not beside him when Wei WuXian fell into the Burial Grounds the first time, nor the second time when Jiang Cheng led the charge against him, and the stygian tiger seal brought him down. This time, on the dark steps of Koi Tower when Jin Ling strikes Wei WuXian, Lan WangJi is there to catch him as he falls.
This time he will not wake alone.
flourish, full-flowered
by lazulisong
T, 13k, my bookmark/post
Summary:  The landlady says, “How many rooms would you like, sir?” at Lan Wangji, in a way that strongly implies that Wei Wuxian had better not be chasing after a handsome alpha cultivator trying to return him to the bosom of his family before Wei Wuxian managed to irretrievably compromise himself.
Wei Wuxian opens his mouth to say “Two, please, auntie,” in an effort to save Lan Wangji’s reputation, but before the words leave his mouth, Lan Wangji says,
“One.“
Both Wei Wuxian and the landlady stare at him. It’s clear that the landlady is trying to figure out if this upright-looking cultivator is the one actually taking advantage of a scrawny omega with donkey shit on his boots, but Wei Wuxian isn’t much less confused.
This has a lot of caretaking in it… I’m FAIRLY certain it’s got hair-brushing.  It’s got a sponge-bath, for sure:
Fire in the Blood
by Jo Lasalle (Jo_Lasalle)
M, 21k, wangxian,  my bookmark/post
Summary:  Wei Ying is traveling, and he gets busy. Lan Wangji knows that sometimes, Wei Ying forgets things.
This next one is an mpreg, so there’s a lot of spoiling and caretaking, although I can’t recall if hair brushing specifically is in it:
Accidents Will Happen
by mrsronweasley
E, 46k, wangxian, my bookmark/post
Summary:  Wei Wuxian downs the cup of tea. “All right. Now, I’m fine.” He isn’t, though. The tea is a mild kind, the sort that Lan Zhan prefers before bed, but even so it makes his taste buds revolt. It’s only through sheer force of will that he doesn’t vomit a second time.
Fucking hell, who cursed him, and how soon can he kill them?
or
Wei Wuxian finds himself in a whole new situation.
wide enough and wild
by impossibletruths
E, 64k, wangxian [my bookmark here]
Summary:  Wei Ying leaves. He follows. 
~*~* ~Follower Recs that I’ve not read yet~*~*~
the thread may stretch or tangle but it will never break
by RoseThorne
E, 38k, wangxian, WIP
Summary:  Following the return of Wen Ning's spiritual cognition, Wei Wuxian doesn't pull away quickly enough to avoid Lan Wangji discovering his secret. Largely CQL-verse with some frankencanon.
(You may wish to REBLOG as a signal boost for the authors if you like -- or think others might like -- these stories.)

Lover
Inspired by “Lover” by Taylor Swift. I had a really fun time writing this chapter (which is why it’s so long... oops). I was listening to “Two” by Sleeping at Last and “The End of All Things” by Panic! at the Disco while writing so I threw in a couple lyrics from those songs into the vows. I hope you all enjoy! 💚💙
Word Count: 3915
Trigger Warning: lead up to sex (at the end)
Ch. 1 Ch. 2 Ch. 3 Ch. 4
————————————————————
Ch. 5 - To End Up With You
If Anne wasn’t already crying at her proposal, the next picture definitely got her to cry. Her eyes landed on the next Polaroid and instantly felt tears streaming down her cheeks. It pictured her wedding day, the day Anne got to marry her best friend and love of her life.
The year following the proposal was hectic to say the least. Cathy did many book signings and press conferences in the months following the release of her book. It was a massive hit and, though it did receive some criticism for its inclusion of queer characters, the public enjoyed the novel and praised the author for shedding light on such important topics. Cathy was astounded by the amount of support her novel received, showing her gratitude in every speech she gave and every note she wrote as she signed each copy of her book. Anne never doubted for a second that Cathy’s novel would be a best-seller and when it happened, the couple celebrated together in a mix of tears, champagne, and kisses.
On top of that, Cathy and Anne began planning for their wedding. They set the date for a little less than a year after the proposal so that they would have adequate time to make their special day perfect. They toured so many venues before finally settling on a quaint spot outside of the city. The house was small and old-fashioned, paired with a beautiful garden where the couple planned on getting married. They tasted cakes together, picked flowers, and chose color schemes, each new milestone filling them with anticipation for the big day. They also went dress shopping and each managed to keep their dresses hidden from each other until the day of the wedding.
As Anne strained to see through the blur of tears, she took in all of the beautiful details of the photo. Kat had captured the first moment that Anne and Cathy saw each other in their wedding dresses. The garden gazebo they were in was white with vines climbing up the pillars, making it a picturesque backdrop for the Polaroid. The two brides were facing each other, clearly admiring the beauty of the other. They both looked on the verge of tears, the love they shared evident in every part of their posture and gaze. The flow of tears only increased as Anne got lost in the memories that the picture brought to mind.
~~~~~
Anne flinched as a bright flash flared from the Polaroid camera to her right.
“Kat, you almost made me mess up my eyeliner!” Anne squeaked, turning to the girl next to her.
Her cousin flashed her an apologetic smile. “Sorry! I took one of Cathy getting ready and thought it would be cute if you each had one.”
“If you show me hers, I might forgive you,” Anne responded and gave Kat her best pleading face in hopes of getting a sneak peak of Cathy before seeing her in person.
Kat’s smile wavered and she shook her head, not making eye contact with Anne. “I can’t! I promised I wouldn’t spoil anything!” 
“At least I tried,” Anne mumbled before shifting her attention back to her eyeliner. After several failed attempts at completing her left wing, the Boleyn girl sighed in defeat.
“Hey Kat,” Anne spoke up shyly. “Could you, you know, help me with my eyeliner?” Anne felt embarrassed as the question left her mouth. She never liked asking others for help, especially since she always felt helpless and weak when doing so. Cathy had always made an effort to ease Anne’s fear of asking for help, even with tasks as simple as applying eyeliner. That was one of the many things she loved about her bride.
Anne subconsciously smiled at that thought. Cathy was her bride. And, in a few short hours, she would be her wife. I really am the luckiest person in the world, Anne thought to herself.
“Yes, of course!” Kat’s excited response snapped Anne out of her reverie. The younger girl quickly rushed to her aid, grabbing the eyeliner pen and doing her best to complete the bride’s makeup. 
After a few tries and many “sorry”s later, Kat finally perfected Anne’s wing and proudly gestured for her cousin to look in the mirror at her finished product. “Kat, you really outdid yourself. You’re almost as good as Cathy!” 
Anne admired her reflection, truly taking in every detail and committing it to memory. This was the day she had been waiting for since she first started dating Cathy. She was ready to take her beautiful fiancée as her wife and share their first kiss as newlyweds. Anne could barely contain her excitement for the day ahead of her.
“Are you ready?” Kat asked.
“Yeah, almost. I just need to put on my dress and I’ll be good to go,” Anne responded, gesturing to the sleeveless, lace wedding dress hanging up behind her. She stood up and prepared to change into it.
Kat quickly rushed to her side to help her put on the dress. “I meant more emotionally, actually. How are you feeling?”  
Anne stepped into the dress and slid it up. She took a second to actually think before giving the girl an answer. Of course, she was beyond excited to marry the love of her life but there was also a little voice in the back of her head that made her anxious about the hours to come. What if something went wrong? What if Cathy changed her mind? What if Anne messed everything up? Anne sighed as all the “what if”s swirled around her mind. 
Kat gave her a worried look before she finally spoke up. “If I’m honest, I am excited but also a little scared. I’ve been looking forward to this day for years and I just want it to be perfect. I don’t want to mess it up, not only for me but for Cathy. God, she deserves the world and I’m so scared that I’ll disappoint her.”
Kat zipped up the dress before turning the bride to face her. “Anne, everything’s going to be fine. Cathy loves you more than anything, and I know that for a fact. You could literally be wearing a trash bag and she would still marry you just as you are. And if things aren’t perfect, that’s okay. It’s those little mishaps that you’ll look back on together and smile about. I love you so much, Anne.” Kat finished her little speech by giving Anne a big hug that nearly made Anne cry.
“I love you too, Kitty Kat,” Anne whispered and hugged her even tighter. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” Kat whispered as she pulled away. “Wow, Anne! You look amazing!” Kat marveled at how stunning Anne looked in her wedding dress and full face of makeup. 
“Aww thanks,” Anne responded before turning to look at herself in the mirror. She admired how her dress perfectly accentuated her curves and how her makeup brought out the green in her eyes. She hoped more than anything that Cathy would like her appearance. 
Anne began daydreaming about what Cathy would look like in her dress. She imagined her shy smile as their eyes met and the glimmer in her eyes as they admired each other’s beauty. Anne was glad they had decided to meet in the gazebo before the ceremony to see each other for the first time because Anne wasn’t sure she could wait until the ceremony to see her bride.   
“Do you have your vows ready?” Kat asked.
“Yeah, I wrote them down,” Anne said as she picked up a small, folded piece of paper that was lying on the vanity desk. She opened it up to reveal her handwritten calligraphy script professing her love and promises to Cathy.    
A small knock on the door sounded and Anne looked over to see Aragon in the doorway. “Hi, Anne. Cathy’s almost ready now. We’re going to head to the gazebo soon.” The older woman gave her a warm smile. “Oh! Also, Cathy wanted me to tell you she loves you.”
Anne blushed before responding. “Okay, thanks Catherine. Tell Cathy I love her more,” Anne replied.
“I certainly will,” Aragon said as she closed the door. Anne couldn’t help but smile at the fact that in a few short minutes she would be seeing Cathy in her wedding dress for the first time.
“Kat, do you have your camera ready?” Anne asked her cousin.
“Of course I do,” Kat responded and picked up her camera from its place on the desk. Anne gave herself a quick glance through the mirror, running her fingers through her perfectly curled hair one last time before standing up to meet her cousin by the door. 
“Then let’s go see my bride.”
At the gazebo, the four other queens managed to get the two brides back-to-back without either of them peeking, a truly impressive feat since Anne repeatedly tried to look before they were ready. Now, Anne’s back was pressed gently against Cathy’s and she was buzzing with excitement. Anne slowly reached her hand behind her until it brushed Cathy’s. 
“Can we turn around now?” Cathy asked, almost as impatient as Anne was at this point. 
“Almost. I’ll count down and then you two turn around. Okay?” The two girls hummed in agreement as Kat fidgeted a little more with her Polaroid camera. “Alright. 3, 2, 1. Turn around!”
Time seemed to slow as Anne turned to face Cathy. She caught a glimpse of her dress first, an elegant long-sleeved gown that suited Cathy perfectly. As she completed the turn, Anne took in the sight fully and couldn’t help but gawk at the beauty in front of her. Cathy’s hair was done up so that her curls graced the sides of her face and her makeup was simple yet stunning. 
Anne barely registered the flash of Kat’s camera, too smitten with the woman in front of her to even notice. She felt her breath catch in her throat as she met Cathy’s eyes. She could see tears forming in them and a wave of emotions crashed over Anne, threatening to knock her off her feet. She took a small step forward and reached out to take Cathy’s hand. Cathy immediately obliged and Anne lifted it to her lips, pressing a soft kiss to her knuckles. 
“Anne…” Cathy whispered, her voice thick with emotion. “You are so beautiful.” Anne felt a tear slip down her cheek as she heard Cathy say those words.
“You’re more beautiful Cathy,” Anne whispered back, leaning closer to her bride as she pressed their foreheads together and wrapped her arms around her waist. Cathy in turn leaned into Anne and wrapped her arms around Anne’s neck. They stayed in that position for a few seconds, eyes closed, just reveling in each other’s presence. “I love you, Catherine Parr. I love you so much more than you know.”
Cathy pulled back far enough to meet her bride’s eyes. She opened her mouth to say something before changing her mind and swooping in to kiss Anne’s lips. Anne reciprocated with the same passion, before Cathy pulled away a couple seconds later.
“Isn’t it bad luck to kiss your bride before the ceremony?” Anne cheekily asked. Cathy let out a chuckle before pecking her lips again.
“I can’t help it when you look like you just descended from heaven with your wings intact. You’re irresistible, Anne.” Cathy brushed a strand of dark hair behind Anne’s ear.
“And you look like a goddess that just emerged from the sea, my love. I’m so lucky that I get to call you mine,” Anne whispered back. 
Anne was broken out of her bubble when she heard someone sniffle off to their left. She turned to look and was surprised to see Cleves wiping furiously at her eyes. The other queens were all in similar situations. Catherine was holding onto Jane, both of them with tears streaming down their faces. Kat, of course, had a bright smile on her face despite the tears that were pooling in her eyes.
“Well, Anna, I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen you cry,” Anne spoke up with a mischievous smile on her face. She loosened her grip on Cathy as they both turned to face the other queens. 
Cleves scoffed before responding. “What? Would you prefer for me to gag like I usually do?”
The queens broke out into giggles after that comment before composing themselves once more. 
“Should we read our vows now, Anne?” Cathy asked. The couple had decided to read vows before the ceremony with only the queens to keep the intimate moment as private as possible. They thought the perfect moment would be at the gazebo after seeing each other’s dresses for the first time. 
Anne nodded before turning to her cousin, who she had given her vows to before her walk to the gazebo. “Kat, can I have my vows now?”
Kat shuffled a bit between the several pictures she’d taken until she finally pulled out the slip of paper Anne had given her earlier. She walked over and handed it to her with a small smile. “Here you go!”
Cathy went to get hers from Aragon before returning to stand in front of Anne. They got lost in each other’s eyes momentarily before beginning their vows. 
“Love, you go first,” Cathy said and motioned for Anne to start.
Anne slowly unfolded the paper and cleared her throat nervously before reading her vows. 
“Catherine Parr, as I stand before you today, I can say with the utmost confidence I have never loved anything or anyone as much as I love you. Every part of you, every vice and every virtue, has taken my world and flipped it on its head. You challenge me to be a better person, to think harder, to work harder, to love harder. You are my perfect match in every way and you inspire me to live up to my potential. My whole life I thought that love was supposed to be painful, to have your heart broken and mended over and over again. You changed that definition with your constant and unwavering love. Your love is home that, no matter in sunshine or in rain, will always be a safe haven for me to return to. 
“I promise that I will be that haven for you too, that I will hold you close whether you are laughing or crying. I will be dependable and steadfast. I will always try to make you laugh and brighten your day when the world feels like it's caving in. I’ll even hold up the sky on my back if it means keeping you safe. I promise to make sure you eat and sleep, even if I have to force you out of your study and away from your writing to do so. I promise to spend the rest of our lives falling deeper in love with you. Everything in my life thus far has led up to this moment, led up to you. Now, Cathy, I dedicate the rest of my life to you, until the end of all things.” 
Anne finished reading her vows and looked up to meet Cathy’s tear-filled eyes. She was proud that she got through the entire speech without crying, a feat she didn’t think was possible while writing it. Cathy sniffled shyly and dabbed lightly at her eyes in a vain attempt to prevent the tears from falling down her face. 
Anne cupped her face with her free hand and caught a tear that was slowly making its way down Cathy’s cheek with the pad of her thumb. Cathy leaned into her touch softly before speaking up. “That was so beautiful, Annie.”
Anne averted her gaze to the floor as she blushed a deep crimson at the praise. “Thanks, love.” After a brief pause, Anne removed her hand from Cathy's cheek and spoke up again. “I think it’s your turn now, Cathy.”
Cathy blushed and shuffled with the paper in her hands. “Right, of course.” Cathy opened the paper and gave Anne a shy glance before starting.
“My dearest Anne Boleyn, before I met you my life was a dull shade of blue, almost grey, a sea of sadness and loneliness. I spent days, sometimes weeks, at a time in my bedroom drowning in my own fear. I feared the world, I feared vulnerability, I feared love. When I met you, you shattered my blue-tinted glasses and I finally saw the world for what it truly was, a paradise filled with every shade of color with you by my side. You filled my life with joy and laughter. You saved me from drowning in my own thoughts and fears. Most of all, you taught me how to love. The more you showed me of yourself, the less I feared being vulnerable. You listened to my thoughts, you cared about my feelings, you showed me how beautiful true love can be. 
“I vow to be the loving wife you deserve for the rest of our days. I will love you unabashedly, without any strings attached. I will care for you in sickness and in health, and kiss all your boo boos when you hurt yourself on your heelys. I vow to support you and stand by your side, to see things from your perspective while offering mine in exchange. The times will change and the oceans will rage but I promise, Anne, that I will always choose you. I can’t express how much of a privilege and honor it is to support you, to love you. I am yours forever, Anne Boleyn, and I wouldn’t want to spend the rest of my life with anybody but you. I love you.” 
 By the time Cathy finished her speech, Anne was a crying mess. Cathy always had such a beautiful way with words and it made Anne fall in love with her a little more each time she shared her writing with her. Cathy gently took Anne’s face in her hand, wiping away the stray tears with her thumb. Anne smiled softly at her before whispering, “No wonder you’re a writer. That was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard in my life.”
Cathy blushed and then leaned up to kiss Anne on the forehead. “I meant every word of it, Anne. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”
“We have to get through the actual wedding first. And I’ll have to redo my makeup before then too.” Anne chuckled to herself.
“It’s not too bad. Your mascara is a little messed up but the rest is fine.” Cathy gave her an encouraging smile before continuing. “Your eyeliner looks great! Did you do it yourself?”
“No, I did it!” Kat chirped before flashing Anne an embarrassed smile, afraid she’d said too much.
“Babe, you know I can never do it properly on my own,” Anne added as Cathy laughed. “Which is why you’ll be doing it for the rest of our lives.”
“I’ll gladly do it for the rest of our lives, Anne.” Cathy pressed one last kiss to Anne’s lips before the one they shared at the altar after officially being pronounced Mrs. & Mrs. Boleyn-Parr.
If Anne was honest, the day had passed in a blur and before she knew it she and Cathy were back at their home, a little tipsy but more happy than they had ever been in their lives. When they got to their bedroom, Anne turned on the fairy lights to shed some soft light around the room so they could see. 
Anne sat on the edge of the bed and shuffled through the several Polaroids Kat had taken throughout the day. There was one of them at the altar sharing a kiss, a few from the reception with the queens, and even the ones that Kat had taken while each of them were getting ready. Cathy’s picture showed the queen applying blush while pulling a silly face at the camera. 
Anne laughed to herself at her wife’s antics before feeling the bed dip next to her. Cathy rested her head on Anne’s shoulder, peering down at the pictures she was holding. She noticed the one Anne was currently looking at and chuckled.
“I tried to get Kat to show me this picture before we met at the gazebo. I wanted a sneak peek so badly but I doubt even this would’ve prepared me for how breathtaking you were,” Anne whispered to the queen next to her.
Cathy laughed before responding. “I tried to blackmail Aragon into showing me a picture of what you looked like. I was so excited to see you I could barely wait.”
Anne rested her head on top of Cathy’s. “I guess we’re more alike than we thought.”
Anne shuffled the photo to the bottom of the stack she was holding and revealed the final Polaroid she had yet to see. It was the picture of them at the gazebo, turning to look at each other for the first time. Her eyes filled with tears instantly and she struggled to keep her composure. She left out a soft sigh before speaking.
“I think this one is my favorite.”
“We should hang it up then,” Cathy suggested softly and lifted her head from Anne’s shoulder. Anne turned to meet Cathy’s gaze and smiled. She stood up and placed the other pictures on their nightstand before taking her favorite and hanging it up on one of the free clips. She admired the Polaroid in the warm light, taking in every detail as if it was the last time she’d ever see it.
When she finally turned back around, Cathy was shimmying out of her dress. Anne approached her quietly and wrapped her arms around her from behind. She pressed feather soft kisses to her back leading up to her shoulder and then her neck. 
Cathy hummed with contentment and leaned back in Anne’s embrace. Anne began tracing different shapes on Cathy’s bare abdomen as she repeatedly pecked Cathy’s neck. Slowly, Cathy turned to face Anne and caught her lips in hers, beginning soft and slow but quickly turning heated and passionate. Cathy moved her hands to the zipper of Anne’s dress and slowly tugged it down.
They parted as Anne’s dress hit the floor, leaving only enough time for Anne to step out of it before reconnecting their lips in a heat of passion and desire. They inched their way backward until the backs of Anne’s knees hit the edge of the bed, causing her to unexpectedly lose her balance and fall back onto the soft sheets. 
Cathy chuckled at the sight until Anne grabbed her wrists and pulled her onto the bed as well. She landed on top of Anne, causing the taller girl to huff at the sudden weight before laughing. She gazed up lovingly at Cathy before kissing her once more. Anne grabbed Cathy’s waist and slowly rolled them over until they were in the middle of the bed. 
Anne pulled away to catch her breath and looked down at her beautiful wife, surrounded by a sea of white sheets. Cathy’s chest was rising and falling rapidly as she stared up into Anne’s eyes. They didn’t need words to express the love they had for each other. They showed it and felt it in different ways that night.

Thalia Prince (Chapter 1)
I knew it. I just knew I shouldn't have answered. Of course she'd react like this. I'm not surprised she's mad, just slightly annoyed by it. Who wants to answer a call from their mom when they know she's setting them up for an arranged marriage. But I digress. It's not like I expected much more from her anyway. 
"Look mom I'm sorry I haven't been answering but-" and of course I was interrupted by her. "There is no but Thalia I expect you to answer whenever I call." Did this woman forget I have a job or what? I swear she forgets that I'm an adult. "Mom look-" and AGAIN she interrupted me from finishing my sentence. "Thalia I swear. This is why I shouldn't have let you move out. I told your dad we shouldn't let you but no." This is so frustrating. I can never speak my mind with her. Yet another reason that I moved out of the house and got a job. She never lets me speak for myself. And she wonders why I never show any of my emotions with her. It would just end up wearing me out.
"Mom I don't want to have another meeting with another girl when you and I both know it never works out. I don't want to be in a loveless relationship." I'm hoping and praying that she'll let this go but I just have this gut feeling that she won't leave it alone. "Now listen Thalia-" Whoop there it is. "It won't be a loveless relationship. I actually quite like this girl. And besides I don't think you get it. You don't have a choice. See you at 7pm for dinner." And that's it. She just hung up on me. She just blatantly told me that she doesn't care if I like them, that it only matters if she does. It's always been like this though. She'll say these types of things to me and then try to reconcile with me by explaining to me that she's only doing what's best for me. FOR ME. 
I don't think she even understands what I want. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't know what my favorite color is. I've always been closer to my dad. While yes he's overprotective he's nowhere near as controlling as she is. He lets me have some form of control in my life. Something that I'll always be grateful for. I don't know what I'd do without him. 
Y'know, I've watched tangled and I know what a manipulative/fake mother is like. Not to be crude or anything but I definitely wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't my mom. I mean look at how Rapunzel's 'mom' reacted when Rapunzel wanted to leave the house. She tricked her and tried to keep her isolated. The real question is what could she possibly want from me. I have nothing of value to her. It's whatever though. This is all speculation. Maybe she's just a REALLY sucky mother but at least I have one. Some people aren't so fortunate.
And my father, whew. Yes, he gives me more freedom than her but really he’s no better. He will never go against my mom. To be honest he’s a weakling who never speaks up for himself. Anytime she degrades me or makes me feel like nothing he will just stand on the sidelines and watch. It hurts. Knowing that I would never be like that for someone I love and yet it’s exactly how my parents treat me.
It's hard, y'know. Wanting to be loved by the only people you've ever known. Yes, we have relatives but even then Mom would always keep me away from them. She's like the stepmother in Cinderella while I'm sitting here waiting for my fairy godmother to come and set me free. Except I don't want or need a prince charming. I just want my mystery girl. 
Speaking of which, I know that me and her haven't quite talked but it is rather strange that I make her coffee every day and I don't know her name. Well, made now. I guess I never really thought about it. I mean the coffee shop isn't the most popular but we do have a steady flow of customers every day and yet I've never gotten her name.And now that I think of it, why does she come to the coffee shop every day? There are plenty in our city and it's not exactly like we serve the best coffee. And with the way she dresses, it seems that she could afford more than a cheap cup of coffee that probably doesn't even taste good. I wouldn't put it behind our boss to skimp on fresh ingredients and buy cheaper ones instead. Oops, I meant former boss. I just can't get over that. Is it bad that I'm finally free from that jerk? Absolutely not. I just wish it didn't happen in front of her. And there are just so many questions I have for her.
Why is she coming to this specific shop? And why does she come every single day? What was the purpose? Was it just for coffee or something more? What's her job? How come I've never seen her anywhere? If she's in a wealthy family my parents would probably know them and we can’t forget about paparazzi, they would be all over her. So why haven't we met before? There's just so much running through my mind. I know literally nothing about her except for her coffee order. She just comes in, gets her coffee, and then leaves. She's never in a rush though always taking her time.
“I watch too much criminal minds.” I sigh to myself subtly shaking my head.
She's just so beautiful. I wish I knew more about her.
It's whatever now though. I might as well forget about it seeing as my mother is smitten with the woman she's set me up with. She might as well just date her herself. I just wish, with all of my heart, that I'll get to speak with her someday. I don't want to give up on my chance for love. I want to take her out at night and stargaze, go and explore abandoned buildings, or just take midnight drives cruising down the road and shouting out our favorite songs. And I know that for some, love at first sight is something false and pretentious and rooted in falling for someone's looks, but for me, I would give anything to be able to hold her, and kiss her and tell her I love her. I want to feel loved, and cherish her, make her laugh, and see her smile. I would love to be the one to make her happy.
But I don't even know if I'll ever get the chance. And I don't know if I could live with myself knowing that the one person I want in my future isn't in my life because I was too scared to talk to her. I have no friends here. No life here. What is it about her that has me so crazy for her? I just don't understand. What is going on? Why do I feel like this? We've never even talked before. “Whatever.” I say dismissing my thoughts. I better start looking for an outfit, goodness knows how pompous the person I'm going to meet is. Man do I wish I was with my mystery girl. But I will be soon. When I let myself drift away into sleep is when I will be with her again.

Yet Another Zelda Roleswap (the masterpost)
Tumblr media
✨what's this AU?
Check THIS POST I DID that started it all and also the AU’s tag
✨in this au, the previous legends about the triforce are the same, aka “zeldas are princesses links are heroes and ganon/ganondorf is always the same guy and the big bad”! BUT THIS TIME DESTINY DID AN OOPSIE and ganondorf forgot all about his previous lives while link is the one who remembers them all!!! zelda just wants to travel and read cool legends and didnt expect to be part of one
✨ZELDA STUFF
-trans girl, found the name zelda in very very very old royal records
-she's like 16 or something
-seventh heir to the throne who wants to prove herself, so she goes on an adventure to save the world!!!!
-adventurous and impulsive and naive
-main weapon is bows, she also knows magic and sheikah techniques
-has six siblings who dont really pay attention to her. shes probably the youngest
-her point of view is very black and white at first
-even when she gets in the middle of link and ganon’s story she still doesn’t believe she is The Zelda of legend
-how could she she’s just a zelda, one among many, just a kid playing at being a princess
-(she IS the zelda)
-she gets a bird AND a white horse!!!!
-if she sees a weird cave she WILL go into it 
-would probably eat moss if dared
✨LINK STUFF
-genderfluid, uses he/they
-hes in his early twenties
-a man zelda meets during her travels, who seems to know a lot about old legends
-he can see koroks and fairies, who can’t be seen by most people
-gets all his past lives' memories after he gets the master sword, over a period of a day or two
-maybe link does remember his past deaths along with his past lives, but past deaths are maybe more muted…. less like he experienced them and more like someone told him about it. still fucks him up tho
-i feel like he’d be pretty nice and sleepy all the time, until you mention something that has to do with his memories (aka, ganondorf, but also like “oh ive heard some hero in the legends went back to being a kid to save the world or whatever) and he’d get this super serious, focused look… something like that, little things that would make zelda go :^?
-he just really wants to kill ganondorf ya dig
-SO MANY BOSS FORMS probably one per main title (kinda like xant’s battle in TP) (strongest/hardest to fight is majora’s mask link), and final form is definitely some twisted looking fierce deity
-as for his past selves he has all of their memories and its kind of… they’re not him, he’s him, they’re just memories that he has, but when he is very very stressed its “memories become actual personalities for a sec” time. 99% of the time its just him and then ganondorf is there and its like WILL EVERYONE SHUT UP IM TRYING TO MAKE A MURDER HERE
-he’s not controlled by malice or anything because it would feel like a deus ex machina to me
-in the end he doesnt die and he gets redemption because he didnt hurt anyone he just tried to kill ganondorf a few times hes good, and also zelda is his friend and an heir to the throne he’s got immunity. poor guy just needs help processing all those lives and needs a cabin in the woods with some fairies!!!
-re: his past lives, oot link SUPER HATES ganondorf while ww link is more sympathetic. links who havent fought ganondorf are ambivalent about him
-endgame ship is either with ganondorf OR beedle. beedle is the secret ending
-will eat moss
✨GANONDORF STUFF
-he's in his twenties i promise he just has resting old man face
-zelda’s old childhood friend
-doesn’t remember anything about his past lives
-gerudo king, very serious but fairly well loved
-lets not talk about malice it either doesnt exist/this ganondorf doesnt have any/this ganondorf knows how to control it. either way its not gonna affect the story
-”what are you wearing today king” “oh, just whatever” (its not whatever he spent hours finding the day’s outfit)
-found out about his past lives while reading a very very very old book, probably read it and stayed in his room for a week and then promised himself to never ever ever turn out like that
-genuinely a good person
-would never eat moss
✨RELATIONSHIPS STUFF
-zelda and ganondorf actually knew each other as kids! Both being royalty and all. legends do talk about a hero a princess a beast or whatever but don’t use link or ganondorf’s names since it’s been so long- it takes zelda and ganondorf both finding old, old books on their own to be like “AH OOPS”!!! Ganondorf learns about his past lives much earlier than zelda, who finds out during her adventures, and she goes from seeing ganondorf as a dear friend to being like “…but what if he’s really bad though”
they’re old childhood friends, you know, the kind that were best friends before and then grew up and saw each other less often (different kingdoms and all) so they kinda grew apart, and then zelda starting her quest made them reconnect again! Ganondorf is a little older than zelda so he always saw her more as his little sister who just jumps into mud because she totally saw a sword there i promise, and zelda sees ganondorf as her cool older brother who actually pays attention to her, unlike her actual siblings
-when link and zelda meet, zelda’s like “weird dude but probably harmless” and link is like “weird girl but probably harmless” and then she’s like “oh my name is zelda” and link goes “ah just likeWAIT” and he kinda observes her to… gauge her abilities? My Zeldas Were Better kinda thing. i guess during their final battle he’s like “you’re really a zelda, after all” and its bittersweet
the second zelda figures out link is also part of those legends she goes full hero worship mode, which makes link’s fall from grace… really… hard on her. ive been admiring you and wanting to be a hero like you all this time, turns out you’re not a hero and also Not Okay
-re ganondorf and link, after everything that happened uuuh
human brain: it probably takes them both a long while to get used to each other, given that one was almost killed by the other and the other has vivid memories of having their world(s) destroyed by the one, but after a while they probably bond over their shared uuuuh memories i guess. link visits gerudo city once in a while and they catch up and become friends and
lizard brain: after 100k words they DATE
no i wont write how it happens you will NOT make me embarrass myself in front of everyone because i earnestly wrote about how link visits ganondorf every time he’s in gerudo country and at first link just passes by to give ganondorf news about how zelda is faring as queen and news about the world, and as time goes and years go by  they start talking about their lives and struggles and just taking walks across the desert together and having sand seal races and everyone in ganondorf’s court is like “so when’s that little voe coming back” and ganondorf is like “i neither know nor care that its been three months since his last visit” and everyone’s like (smirk) “okay” and when has he even started to look forward to link’s visits anyway how did this happen and then link comes back and smiles gently and shows ganondorf this cool rock he found that looks like ganondorf’s face and ganondorf is smitten
takes them both Y E A R S to realize their feelings and then date tho. slow burn or bust
✨WORLD STUFF
-takes place in a time where the games’ adventures are only known as legends where they didnt even write down ganondorf’s and link’s names
-now that im thinking about it it wouldnt happen like THOUSANDS OF YEARS after any game because then ganon and link wouldnt be that worried about their destiny??? so maybe like 100-200 years after a game??? and the ppl writing down the legends were just terrible bookkeepers who couldnt even think write down link and ganon’s name
-(smash voice) EVERYONE IS HERE!!!!!!!! tingle and agitha the bug princess and sidon and especially groose who is uuuuum zelda’s rival who is totally not in love with her
-i think in botw its implied koroks are only seen by people like link and zelda??? so id say only people with uuuuh magical power??? can see them???? so koroks are just doin their thing, playing pranks, helping people without them knowing, and, in the case of makar, playing romantic music around couples

Day Six - Quiet Hours
AN: I have been looking forward to this day all week, and I’m so excited to see what everyone’s done for this! I absolutely love College AUs, and would love to do more of them! Thank you @spideychelleweek​ for getting this all together for us! 
Prompt: College AU
Here is about 4k (oops i went overboard) of fluff, college, humor, and a teensy bit of angst
.
.
“Karen, I think I’m in love.”
Peter almost couldn’t believe it.
No, he really couldn’t believe it.
She’d actually said yes.
She— girl-of-his-freakin’-dreams Michelle Jones— said yes.
Yes to a date with him.
He honestly doesn’t know how it happened, how she was able to decipher the fact that he was asking her to coffee from whatever that jumbled, painfully awkward mess was that came out of his mouth when he’d asked. And he’s not sure exactly how many times he’d said the words “cup of coffee,” in the span of a minute, but if he had to make a guess, it’d probably have been in the low-thousands.
They’d agreed to Friday at 3:30 at one of those cute coffee shops just outside of the campus.
Two days from now.
Alone.
On an actual date.
He briefly contemplates pinching himself; this has to be some kind of a dream. The polar opposite of whatever a nightmare was. He feels lighter than air as he swings from building to building, the smile under his mask threatening to burn through the fabric. 
God, what a day. 
He’d only just met Michelle this semester. He remembers briefly seeing her on moving day, both of her parents helping her move into the room next to his. Her father had been grumbling about the idea of a co-ed dorm, her mother playfully smacking him on the arm as she chided him about the progressing times. 
And though they were neighbors, Peter only got to know her through their shared Psych 100 course. He’d nearly burst into the classroom on day one, having less than a minute to spare as he scrambled to the closest seat he could find. 
He would not be late on the first day again. No, sir.
He was starting this year off right.
The girl next to him— Michelle— had thrown him a fleeting side-eye glance, though not actually looking up from sketching all over the syllabus the professor had just handed out. 
Peter wished, hoped, prayed to God that she couldn’t hear him breathing like he’d just run up four flights of stairs.
(Which he had.)
He’d fumbled, the awkward energy radiating through his bones as Dr. Cabot called his name during attendance for the second time— the first he’d missed because he was too busy staring at the doodles on Michelle’s paper. The girl had snorted at his near-incoherent bumbling, disguising the huff of amused air under her hand, biting back the smirk. 
The shade of red on his face almost matched the pen on her desk, his stomach erupting in butterflies at the toothy grin that flashes across her features at the speed of light, almost missing it entirely.
Okay, maybe the embarrassment wasn’t so bad.
And it seemed to go like that the rest of the fifty-minutes; him finding himself unable to take his attention away from the girl next to him, even when his eyes are trained right on Dr. Cabot as she reads the most-likely plagiarized section that’s totally ripped from other professors’ syllabi, Academic Dishonesty.
Ever since that day, it was safe to say that Peter was smitten. Embarrassingly so. He had to contain every ounce of enthusiasm that threatened to explode from his body when he’d been paired with her for the first project of the semester. 
“Okay, so I figured one of us can talk about Vygotsky and the other can have Piaget. Sound good?”
Though he was making direct eye contact, listening as intently as he could, none of Michelle’s words registered, Peter way too caught up in how freaking enchanting she looked, back-lit by the hues of orange and gold provided by the early-evening sun.
Maybe working on the quad had been a mistake.
“Yo. Parker.” 
Oh, great. And now he’s been caught staring. Now she knows he’s a certified, grade-A creep.
And just like that, he’s snapped right out of his daydream. “Oh! Uhm— Uh…” He stammers, mouth hanging open as he tries to figure what the hell to say, feeling himself shrink back at her expectant stare. “Wha—What?” He asks, scratching the back of his neck.
She turns her head, eyeing him from the side, brow quirked. “I asked you if that sounded good.”
“If what sounded good?”
“If one of us talked about Vygotsky and the other talked about Piaget.” There was only a hint of exasperation to her tone, something which Peter’s pretty damn thankful for. “Theory of cognitive development? You know? The project we’re supposed to be working on?”
Though, he knew she was probably way more annoyed than she let on.
And he couldn’t really blame her.
There wasn’t really anything in either psychologists’ theories about the staring at pretty girls in the sunlight stage of life. 
“Oh, yeah,” he nods thoroughly. “Yeah. Of course. That sounds great.”
“Are you good?” 
He wonders if his skin looks as hot as it feels. “Uh, yeahyeahyeah. Yeah. I’m good.”
Judging by the look on her face, she can see right through that bullshit. But thankfully, she doesn’t press, either completely uninterested or just unable to find it in her to even bother. 
It takes a month... or two... or three, but he finally gets the guts to actually do something about his feelings when he sees her studying in the library one day, her nose buried in the pages of the textbook she’s poring over. 
The library’s normally about a thousand degrees, give or take, but today it seems especially balmy as he rocks back and forth on his heels, hands wringing together as he tries to come up with any kind of coherent sentence that isn’t this inane mumbling he’s currently doing. It only takes about another three seconds of panic before he mucks up just enough courage to ask her if she’d want to get coffee sometime. 
And, for whatever reason, one that is beyond him entirely, she says yes, a shy smile tugging at her lips as she stares back down at the convoluted words littering the pages. 
Honest to God, he feels like he could sing every octave of Beyonce’s Love on Top at this point. With choreography.
Patrol goes on without a hitch that evening, Peter having successfully stopped a poorly thought out break-in before it even happened, the criminals actually trying to use a crowbar in this day and age to open the backdoor of some guy’s place. A few thwip-thwips here and there, some well-timed kicks and punches, and boom. Taken care of.  
Easy-peasy.
Oh, he’d also helped a little boy get his balloon back after it had floated away. 
And he’d prevented a shoplifter from implementing their five-finger-discount on a set of particularly expensive purses outside of one of those designer shops. 
An actual car thief— he had made sure to check this time, not wanting a repeat of his early Spider-Man days— thought he was being especially sneaky before he found himself webbed to the side of the parking garage. 
Overall, it’s been a pretty successful night. 
And Peter can 100% account that to this new, magical, walking-on-air, invincible feeling that’s flowing through his veins, radiating from the top of his head to the very tips of his toes. The evening sun bleeds into night as he flips through the air, whooping and hollering with each leap and bound, the lights of the city twinkling around him. Maybe he throws in a few more aerial tricks and spins as he swings by a crowd, his smile growing exponentially when a chorus of cheers eggs him on.
This happy-go-lucky feeling carries him all the way back to campus, and his stomach does almost the same acrobatics that he’d done seconds before when he sees MJ exiting the library, eyes glued to her phone as she walks through the quad. He knows if he makes it back in time, he might get the chance to see her— talk to her again, for just a little bit, to catch her as she’s going into her room. 
McClain Hall isn’t that far from where he’s perched on the Student Union Building, just on the northern edge of campus, the slightest bit separated from the surrounding dormitories. His own room is on along the outside perimeter, perfect for when he needs to sneak back in from a night of vigilante justice. It’s definitely a step up from Freshman year, that’s for sure. 
Plus, McClain has suite style rooms, so he gets his own bathroom now, which is pretty sweet.
He lands perfectly above his window, internally fist-pumping as it slides open easily. There had been a few too many times where past-Peter had forgotten to unlock the dang thing before leaving, resulting in a very awkward, “Hey, RA, can you unlock my dorm for me? I forgot my keys in there. And yes, I also forgot… my… clothes… too…”
Since then, he’s been a lot more careful, both carrying a spare key in his utility belt, and leaving the window unlocked at all times. 
He climbs in, the dark surrounding him as he lands silently, pulling his mask off and throwing it haphazardly somewhere in the room without a second thought. 
Though something seems… off.
Almost instantly, he’s hit with the faint smell of perfume lingering on the air, and he briefly wonders if Ned and Betty had been here. He glances around, eyes adjusting to the light, seeing his grey sheets replaced with a deep navy. 
Oh, God.
Oh, good God.
He’s such an idiot.
This isn’t his room. 
Shitshitshitshitshitshit SHIT.
He doesn’t have any time to process the utter terror that starts to pulse through him, the hairs on his arms standing ramrod straight as the jingling of keys and as a soft voice is heard on the other side of the door. 
In a moment of panic, he debates on whether or not he should just web the doorknob, thinking it could buy him some time. But he takes a millisecond too long trying to decide. The lock turns, and he ends up hurling himself behind the de-lofted bed as the door opens, effectively trapping himself between the wall and the wooden frame. 
How he hadn’t noticed the difference in how the room was arranged when he’d first come in, he had no idea.
Never, ever, under any circumstances, was he to Spider-Man while distracted, he decides right then and there.
“—studying in the library all day. Felicia’s gone on some sisterhood trip, or whatever.” Michelle’s phone is tucked into her neck as she kicks the door shut with her foot, bypassing the main light switch and electing for the much more muted tones of her desk lamp and fairy lights. 
Peter’s lungs seem to be collapsing second by second, and he briefly wonders if it’s possible that he could be having some kind of heart attack. He can see her slightly through the thin gap between the mattress and the bed frame, his stomach lurching into his chest at the sight of her. 
Ohgodohgodohgod.
“Yeah… Yeah… Mhmm… Yeah, classes are fine… just three or four big midterms next week, and one of them’s a project.” She drops her backpack on the chair, her back to the intruder in her room as she puts her books back on her desk. “Yeah… Uh-huh…. Yeah…” Her tone is monotonous in response to the cheery voice on the other line, her own droning the same automated reply every few beats. “Uh, yeah. Peter’s fine… I guess?”
Instantly, the sound of his own name in a conversation that he’s not a part of in any way and kind of has no business hearing piques his interest. 
There’s a hint of hesitation to her tone as she continues, as if she’s not completely sure she’s willing to divulge any more sensitive information. “I mean… I’m kind of… getting coffee with him… like a date, I think.” She pauses, holding the phone away from her ear at the excited rambling on the other end. 
She thinks??
“Mom, oh my God, please stop...:” She lets out an melodramatic groan, running a hand over her face in exasperation. “I’ve told you before, I didn’t think he was interested, geez. That’s why I didn’t say anything.”
She talks to her mom about me??
His insides are a mish-mosh of this weird concoction consisting of utter horror-panic and pure unadulterated elation. It’s ultimately a very confusing feeling, and he’s not sure if he’s going to end up barfing all over her carpet out of fear or happiness. If his mask was still on he’s about 105% sure Karen would have already called an ambulance for him. 
“Yeah… Yeah, okay… Listen, I’m gonna get ready for bed, take a shower. I’ll talk to you more about this later, I promise… Bye, Mom…. Yeah…. Love you, too.”
If at all possible, his anxiety seems to spike as she hangs up the phone.
MJ rolls her shoulders once, shaking her hands out as she releases a relieved sigh. 
He had to get the hell out of there.
Unseen.
And alive.
His chance finally comes when she steps into her bathroom, and he waits for the sweet, wonderful, holy sound of that door clicking shut. He holds his breath, listening for any movement on the other side of the door. He’s able to pick up on her faint shuffling as she (presumably) changes out of her clothes and into nothi—
He immediately decides that he absolutely cannot think about that right now. Very dangerous territory. 
When he’s sure that the coast is clear, he makes a break for it, snatching up his discarded mask as he leaps for the window. 
But perhaps it would have been a better idea to listen if the shower had been turned on yet.
Before he can even get a foot on the windowsill, the bathroom door opens again, revealing his potential inamorata in nothing but a dark burgundy bathrobe. His eyes are immediately drawn to every patch of skin visible; her neck, her collarbones, her unfairly long legs.
He’s not sure who screams louder. 
“WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM?!”
A fair question.
What the fuck is he doing in her room?
“I’M SORRY—”
“—JESUS CHRIST—”
“IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, I SWEAR— I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN THE SHOWER—”
“—SO YOU SNUCK INTO MY ROOM?”
“NO! GOD NO—”
“—HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN HERE?!”
Peter tries to lower his volume, hoping that she’ll follow suit. “Like maybe five minutes!”
“OH MY GOD—”
“I didn’t mean to— God— AH! I’m so sorry, MJ!”
She stops yelling, her chest heaving as she tries to catch her breath. 
“How did you even get in here?! Did you seriously climb all the way—” She immediately cuts herself off, her eyes flicking to the window before giving him a quick once over that makes him feel at least fifty-times more hot under the collar than he already was. It was a wonder the suit wasn’t burnt to a crisp at this point. 
He can practically see the dots as they connect in her head.
Michelle considers herself to be more perceptive than most people, which is why she’s known all along that something was up with this Parker dude. By their third or fourth week of knowing each other, she’d come to the deduction that this boy was either a crime fighting vigilante or a serial killer. Really, could have been either one. She was just glad to have at least something confirmed.
Though she would have preferred it to not be from Spider-Man himself sneaking into her room at midnight when she’s wearing nothing but a bathrobe.
“It’s not what it looks like!!” Peter immediately tries to derail her train of thought, hands held out in defense. “It’s uh— not mine.” He stares blankly at her, his expression wide in sheer terror as he scrambles for an answer. “Yeah.” He trails off, his eyes momentarily drawn the the trail of skin from her neck down to the valley between her—
No. No no no. Stop that.
She fixes him with a calculating stare, eyes narrowing as she quirks a doubtful brow. “Then who’s is it?”
His scoff is nothing if not a little over-the-top, his expression scrunching slightly as if the answer’s obvious. “Spider-Man’s.”
Her only response is a slow, deliberate blink.
“Who I am definitely not. I just make the suits,” Peter quickly spits out, and he starts to shrink back the longer her eyes are on him. “Just… Just test driving... the new model… Because I’m his suit… crafter… guy....”
He’s met with another blink. “Are you done?” She asks.
There really was no way out of this.
Peter sighs dejectedly. “Yeah…”
“Tell me something, Parker.” Her tone is a bit too casual for comfort. “Do I look stupid?”
“No! God, no!” He groans, running a tense hand through his hair. “You’re like the smartest person I’ve ever met! Just…” He brings his volume down even more, though he doesn’t seem to know what to say, mouth opening and closing as he struggles to form a coherent sentence.
He decides that there’s really nothing he can say, nothing that can convince her that he’s not a superhero.
A sharp exhale escapes him as he finally looks up at her, eyes pleading. “Promise you won’t tell anyone?”
“What? That Spider-Man’s a creep who sneaks into girl’s dorms?”
“No!!” Peter shouts, voice cracking. “I mean, I don’t sneak into—Ugh! That’s not what I— God, I meant don’t tell anyone that I’m—” His mouth snaps shut, lips pressed together as he lets out a sharp exhale. He glances right and left, voice now barely above a whisper. “Spider-Man.”
She’d almost be amused if it weren’t for the way her ears and skin burned in embarrassment at being caught in just a bathrobe by the cute boy she likes. “Yeah. Sure. Whatever.”
He seems to notice her discomfort. “Michelle, I’m so sorry, I—” And it’s then that he starts rambling. “And I just got so excited about our date and I just wasn’t thinking clearly… like at all, and I usually sneak back into my room after patrol and since we’re neighbors and everything I guess I just got confused, which doesn’t usually happen, I promise this has never happened, and then I didn’t know what to do and all of a sudden you’re in here and I’m hiding behind your bed and— “ He takes a deep breath, hanging his head in shame. “God, I’m such an idiot!”
There’s a sharp knocking on the door; Peter nearly jumps out of his skin, and MJ seems just as jarred.
“RA on duty,” A firm voice calls from the other side of the door. “It’s quiet hours.”
“I should— I should, uh…” Peter stumbles over his words, unable to take his eyes off of the girl in front of him. “I should go back… to my room.”
“Oh, uhm— Yeah.” MJ nods awkwardly. She gestures to the door, eyebrows raising in question. 
Peter shakes his head, breathing out a shaky chuckle. “Oh, no… I’ll just go back the way I came.” He throws a thumb over his shoulder before planting his hands on his hips, giving a firm nod. 
It really stings how she doesn’t even look at him as she mumbles out another near-silent, “Yeah.”
And he leaves without another word. 
Man, he knew that Parker luck was something that had plagued his family for years and years, but he hadn’t expected it to hit so hard all at once. It had been quite a while since he’d fucked up that badly, so he thought he was in the clear. Maybe that had been his first mistake of many. Maybe he shouldn’t have let his guard down. 
A pit forms in his stomach, twisting and pulling in a vice-like grip as he returns to his own room. 
And now, the girl-of-his-dreams Michelle Jones, because he had been so lost in his own thoughts, because of his complete lapse in basic attention, probably wanted nothing to do with him. He knew he didn’t need to ask if their date was still on, and truthfully, he couldn’t really blame her, given that he’d invaded her personal space and embarrassed her. No, he didn’t expect her to want anything to do with him now. Especially not after the way she’d yelled at him. 
There’s been plenty of times that Peter’s fucked up, almost too many to count. But this… This was up there.
He doesn’t hear from her the next day, nor the day after, only seeing her when she comes to Psychology class that Friday. He can’t even bring himself to actually look at her when she sits in her usual spot next to him.
He mopes about the rest of the day, knowing full well that it’s his own stupid fault. Ned points this out, though he tries to remain sympathetic as he agrees that yes, Peter’s an absolute dumbass sometimes. 
But Ned also suggests actually talking to MJ about all this.
Peter immediately shoots that down. 
Instead, he decides to do the rest of his moping at the campus Starbucks, cheek resting against his hand as he reads the same sentence about the zone of proximal development over and over, his vanilla latte completely forgotten in all of his sulking.
“Why the long face?”
Her voice startles him out of his brooding state, and he immediately looks up, heart thumping in his ears as his eyes land on one Michelle Jones, two coffees in either hand.
“Uh—” Peter’s response isn’t his smoothest. He blinks in surprise, briefly wondering if he might be dreaming. “I—” His voice cuts off, finding that he can only stare up at her with this dopey, blank expression. 
“What? You thought I forgot?” She lifts her index finger from the side of one of the cups, pointing to her watch. “It’s 3:30. I’m right on time.”
A small smirk tugs at the corner of her lips, though she still seems to wait for his invitation to sit, the faintest hint of insecurity behind her eyes. 
Finally, Peter smiles back up at her, a breathless, shy chuckle escaping him. Her smirk turns into a full grin, and she pulls the chair out with her foot, setting both cups of coffee down as she sits. 
“I gotta say,” Peter starts, eyebrows pulled together in happy confusion. “I’m kinda surprised you still wanted to… get coffee with me. After… After, well, you know… I’m so, so sorry about that. Again.”
Michelle pushes one of the cups to him, taking a thoughtful sip from her own. “Eh, it’s fine.”
“Really?” Peter asks, pitched raised in minor disbelief. “I mean,” He pauses, huffing in amusement and slight embarrassment at his previous actions. “I’m kind of a dumbass.”
She shrugs, a playful glint in her eyes as she glances up from behind the cup. “Yeah,” She agrees readily after a moment’s contemplation. “You are.”
They both laugh quietly. 
No argument there.
“But… I’ve been thinking about it.” She puts her cup down, bracing both elbows on the table as she leans forward slightly, her voice incredibly nonchalant. “I think I kinda have a thing for dumbasses.”
“Oh? Really?” He breathes, butterflies in his stomach erupting. 
“Uh-huh.” MJ nods, eyes squinting as she fixes him with another sly smirk. “Especially ones that look that good in a skin-tight onesie.”
Peter’s sure his face could blend in with said onesie if he was actually wearing it, and he nearly chokes on his new latte. 
She tries to hide the snort that comes out of her, but fails miserably. 
“Well, don’t worry,” Peter lets out another, slightly less nervous, laugh, firing finger guns at the girl across from him, attempting a not-so-smooth wink. “There’s way more dumbassery where that came from.”
Her lips press together in a thin, yet incredibly cute smile that makes Peter’s heart soar, a welcome warmth washing over his body. “Good,” She says through a quiet laugh, shaking her head at him as she takes another sip from her coffee. 
Yup, he’s definitely in love.

{Special} College!AU Kun
*tw: there is a lot of mention of alcohol in this one   find college!nct (here) + hs!au dream (here)
major: aviation engineering 
minor: n/a
sports: almost took a yoga class once, does that count? 
clubs: was part of cooking club which shocked just about everyone - especially the culinary majors because why was an engineering major cooking better than them - people who actually wanted to be chefs so unfortunately he got banned,,,,,,,joined photography club instead 
on the outside, kun is probably the most unremarkable college student on campus
he attends his classes, does his work, hangs out with his friends, and never really causes any kind of drama or ruckus 
in a lot of ways he just ,,,,,,, sort of exists
and people only take notice when he’s in the background of things - like that time his roommate lucas broke the shared showers
and lucas, sopping wet in just his towel, was explaining to campus police that he “didnt break anything” the water just magically started overflowing
and kun had to step in, handing lucas a much needed pair of pants and tell the officer that the drains had been busted for weeks. it was only a matter of time till this happened 
or when mark confessed he really had no idea how to write a resume and kun was like
“here, take my word document template including a bunch of fake things i embellished about you, but not really because you are a great person!”
mark with tears in his eyes: th-thanks bro
basically, kun is the unsung hero of his friends
he’s always got their back - and he’s always there to support him
but he’s never like in the limelight 
on the outside only of course
the reality is, kun works outside of taking classes. 
to everyone on campus it’s a night shift stocking a local store in the college town downtown
but in reality, kun works as a bartender 
when he was a freshmen, he had found a online video of a bartender mixing drinks - but adding a magical flare to it
whether it was setting the drinks on fire
building pyramids out of glasses
or pouring drinks that swirled around and changed color
the video had fascinated kun, and he decided to see if he’d be any good at the job
turns out - he was
he had always liked being in the kitchen, working with food - working with drinks was pretty similar
each had its home ingredients, and each took its time to prepare
and with his job at the bar - he could be somebody else
he wasn’t just the college kid in the background
he could entertain, he could laugh, he could have fun and stop cleaning up his friends problems 
instead he could make other young strangers happy with his drinks and his magic
the only problem was this kun,,,,,,,,,,was far removed from regular kun
and keeping the secret did make kun feel bad
from his friends to his fellow engineering peers
everyone just thought “oh he’s going to his job at the store! he’ll probably study there and get into no trouble - it’ll be bland!”
when in reality he was doing just the opposite 
but at the same time,,,,kun felt like there was no way to connect the two. no one would believe he had this other,,,,,vibrant side
plus - he was juggling school and this job pretty well
his dream had always been to fly and fix planes when he was older 
so he took up engineering 
it came naturally and unlike a lot of people he did enjoy studying 
but there was time for geeking out about plane parts in his classes
but also still putting on his bartenders vest and striking smile for his nightime shifts
to everyone around him, kun was always there to be that encouraging buddy
that person who had the answers when you needed them 
because he himself never got into trouble 
ten would always clap kun on the back and go, “you need to party more! let loose! but not too loose - remember what happened to johnny last saturday?”
and kun would just laugh and agree
all the while thinking that his friends just didn’t know 
the closest anyone ever came to suspecting was when kun had a menu pulled up on his laptop of new drinks from the bar
and taeyong had went “what’s that?”
kun had broken into a cold sweat, trying to think up an excuse 
only to sigh of relief when taeyong switched the tab aimlessly to a youtube video kun had been watching about pilot safety tips
you ,,,,,, only knew kun as the bartender from your favorite place to drink after a tough test or a shitty day on campus
that’s because you went to college in the part of the city that kun worked in
so to you - kun was an enigma 
he was the striking smile and the crazy magic tricks 
and the smooth talking, sociable bartender who every person literally fell in love with for their first hour at the bar
you didn’t know about the kun who was quiet and plain
and to be honest, if someone told you kun was the last person to be noticed at his campus
you’d think they were lying - or being plain rude
because no matter how many times you’d been to the bar, no matter how many other boys have been around you
have talked to you
tried to wind you out from your bad mood
the only person who ever made you feel better, aside from the drink in your hand was kun
and to be honest you didn’t even go there to drink anymore 
you went there for the small talk with kun
even five minutes of just college kid banter with him was enough to make you forget your shitty professors and your three essays all due in the same week
but,,,,,,,,you’re pretty sure it’s the same for everyone else
kun’s job means he has to be nice to you
he has to be charming, inviting, and ever so handsome 
that warm feeling you get in the pit of your stomach whenever he smiles or his hand brushes against yours
you’re sure he’s got that spell cast over everybody
afterall - how could anyone ignore someone like kun?
and what makes it all worse is the fact that your little fascination with him absolutely grows into a crush
when you’re seated at the bar, looking at the beer you ordered - thinking about how intro to nuclear biology turned out to be the WORSE choice for an elective
when someone slides in to the seat beside you
smug look on their face and all
“how are you doing tonight? you’re far too gorgeous to be looking so gloomy.”
the pick up line makes you almost roll your eyes
but you look up at the person and shake your head instead
“i like being gloomy, college was made for that.”
instead of warning them off - the person seems to think your sarcasm is an invite to stay and chat
then they think its an invite to order you a drink
even when you tell them your bottle is half full
kun comes over when the stranger waves their hand
he looks picturesque in his little satin vest, the bow-tie and big glimmering eyes
“a drink for this beautiful angel to my left~”
the say and you reach out before kun can turn around
“i,,,,,dont want it. thank you.”
kun’s expression doesn’t falter, he just nods and glides his way over to another customer 
for a second,,,,you feel a little bit hurt
when you’d stopped him - you were hoping kun would read the pleading look in your eye
begging to somehow be saved from the awkward advances of a total random straner
but kun had a job to do, it’s not like he was going to be the knight in shining armor you wished he would be
“why’d you say no to a free drink?”
you look up at the stranger
“i know why you’re buying it for me, and im flattered - but im not interested.”
the once cheap kindness on their face twists into hurt pride
suddenly you’re not just annoyed,,,you’re a little worried as they lean in closer 
but before they can whisper whatever it is that they’re thinking they pull back 
yelping in pain, they look over to where a smiling kun on the otherside of the bar
has slammed a glass hard onto their hand
“ow! why they fuck did you put that shit on my hand!” 
the stranger winces, pulling his red hand up to his chest protectively as kun lifts up the glass
kun’s smile never even changes
but his eyes are darker than usual, sparking with some kind of emotion you’ve never seen from him
“oh, oops. i must have not seen your hand. you should go to the bathroom and ice that.”
the stranger grumbles, throws some more curses you and kun’s way and then disappears into the crowd
you turn and kun tilts his head as you stare at him in shock
“you - you didn’t have to do th-”
kun shrugs
“what? it was a genuine mistake.”
but he winks an then goes back to taking orders
and you sit there, feeling the warmth in your stomach that you usually get around kun turn into a blossoming blush on the insides of your heart
it’s that incident that makes you fall head over heels
you think it’s a little juvenile, in love with the handsome bartender
but you’re in college you’re allowed to be a little juvenile - after all these are the last four years till you’re living in the adult world 
but even still - you know kun just sees you as another regular 
another college student with your woes, and you’re sure he has some of his own
you daydream that he must be some kind of cool major like music or philosophy 
or something prestigious like pre-law or pre-med
how he must walk around on campus with an entire entourage of smitten students wanting him to notice them
how he probably dresses super stylish 
how everyone only looks at him and is super duper jealous or in love - 
that must be how kun is like at school
because that’s what he’s like here 
can you imagine the shock when you end up on kun’s college campus - visiting with your club to give a presentation in the science dept
only to see kun
wearing plain black pants,,,,a button up flannel,,,,,a messenger bag you’re sure he’s had since middle school
and glasses
sitting in the corner of the quad - quietly 
reading an,,,,,,,engineering textbook
surrounded by absolutely no one
passed by like he,,,,like he isn’t even there
you nearly triple take just to make sure it’s really really him
and one of your club members jokingly tells you to stop or you’ll swivel your head right off 
i mean there’s no way right,,,there’s no way the bartender i know,,,,,is that boy sitting over there? so,,,,so unnoticeable,,,
after you leave - the only thing in your head is the image of kun hunched over his book like that 
you keep trying to figure out an explanation 
and as you’re sitting in your room you just think - why am i broading about it? i should just ask him.
the thought makes your heart stop,,,,but you decide that if anything ,,,, this all makes kun more approachable 
more attainable 
but you shake that thought off and when you find yourself on a friday evening at the bar again
watching kun pour shots that turn from a clear white into a misty, fragrant pink 
you wonder how someone can just do a 180 and become someone completely new
you’re jealous - it must be a talent
kun’s shift comes to an end at three
and even though you think it’s a little corny that you waited - even a little creepy actually
you just can’t help but want to know 
and when kun sees you, he doesn’t seem at all concerned or annoyed
instead he smiles and waves
“it’s so late, it’s dangerous going home now.”
he warns and you feel your stomach do a flip
his first sentence out of his mouth isn’t why are you here? what do you want? it’s the need to show worry and empathy,,,,like is he seriously just the best person on earth?
you smile weakly, “kun - can i ask you something?”
he nods slowly, looking at you with what seems the most pure gaze in the world
“i,,i saw you - a couple of days ago. you were reading a engineering  textbook. is that your major?”
everything seems to drain right out of kun’s face
his smile vanishes like melting wax off a candle
and you instantly feel like this is it - that you could die of embarrassment and shame in this moment
when in a quiet voice he goes , “yes”
you don’t know what else to say - so you blurt out what you’re thinking
“do you not like it? you sound so sad,,,,,”
kun pulls suddenly at the bow-tie around his neck 
“i like it alot. it’s just,,,,” 
he stares dejectedly at the ground in the darkness of the night
“it’s just it doesn’t fit who i am here - right? it’s boring.”
you gape, unsure of what he really means
“you know me as the bartender here, as the happy and outgoing magician of drinks or whatever but in reality,,,that’s an illusion”
he shrugs
“im very plain. i like engineering. i like planes. and i dont really like to stand out. isn’t that funny?”
before your mind can tell you to pause, you reach out and grab kun’s cold hand
his wide eyes meet yours as you shake your head
“it’s not funny, and it’s not an illusion. this job is one part of you - but the other part of you is too. engineering is so interesting, it’s unexpected - but it’s cool and one day i would really like if you -”
your voice trembles - you’ve never really confessed to anyone before this
“i would really like if you told me more about it!”
kun doesn’t say anything for a bit 
so much so that you panic, letting go of his hand and whispering a feeble apology
but then he steps closer to you 
and you don’t know what he’s going to do next until he puts his hand slightly over your head
confused, you look up - noticing finally that it has started to rain
and kun is shielding you from it 
“im fine you don’t ha-”
“it’s late, it’s raining, the right thing is to make sure you stay dry and take you home.”
you feel your entire body burn up in a blaze when kun says that 
and you feel even more hot when he pulls you gently into his side as you walk down the street, you nervously giving him directions to your dorm
and when you finaly get there 
the RA simply looks up from her phone with a shrug
and you turn to thank kun again
“i dont work wednesdays. would that be an ok day for you?”
he says and you blink
“wh-what do you mean?”
he grins, “you said you wanted me to tell you more, could i take you out on wednesday?”
you do meet kun that following wednesday 
you sit in an obscure little cafe for lunch as kun pulls his textbook out of that beat up old messenger back 
and opens it up to a page of a diagram and tells you
“it may bore you, but this is my favorite model for planes. there’s a lot of technical stuff, but it’s my fathers favorite too.”
you know kun is keeping everything short - always limiting himself from saying to much
in some weird way you can feel that he thinks he’ll only annoy you with it
but you lean in, holding your cup of tea excitedly with both hands and urge him with a smile to never skip over the technical stuff - you want to know everything
and kun isn’t used to all this attention on him
the suave and experienced bartender playboy you thought he was is nothing close to the reality
he still plays little magic tricks
pulling coins from behind your ear and making a napkin on the table float
but they’re nothing flashy, they’re nothing crazy
they’re,,,,,,,more natural - just like kun
and it’s the little things that you learn about him that make you realize that you might have had a crush on bartender kun
but you could really fall in love with the real kun
the way he moves so he walks closest to the road when he’s with you
how he puts your hand in his pocket as you’re on the way back and the ac in the bus is a little too high
how he swiftly catches the side of your hip when you almost trip on the stairs 
and how he does it all without even thinking about it
helping and taking care of others is so,,,,,,,,in kun’s nature 
and he does it without any expectation of recognition or praise 
he’s the real definition of humbleness
so much so that 
when you stare at him, eyes flicking between his lips - up and down for nearly a minute straight on your third little date
he has to ask, literal permission
“is it ok if i kiss you?”
“i thought the staring at your lips would give away the answer to that one.”
for a while you still cant believe you’re actually dating kun 
but you start to put together that you’re not dating the kun you daydreamed about 
although you still think he’s literally irresistible in his bartender uniform
and he looks more than charming at his night time job still
you’re dating the slightly wallflower-ish kun who much more than ever makes your heart dance and not just your stomach feel warm
but every last part of your being 
you’ll still drop by, watch him do his job perfectly, watch everyone in the room fall in love just like you did
but kun never takes it beyond the bar
the only person whose hand he holds, the only person who he calls his wonder in his native min, the only person who gets to see him shed off all this dazzle and become comfortable 
is you
and kun tells you that he remembers watching you get hit on by that stranger whose hand he almost nailed to the bar top 
and how he’d sensed from the beginning that something was off and if he’d been more daring he would have dragged the dude out the door himself
which surprises you because,,,,,you thought that that moment was just kun being kun
that he’d done it for millions of other people in unwarranted situations and although kun admits that he’s casually saved a couple of people from awkward converstion
you had been the first person he,,,,,,had slammed a glass down on someones hand for 
“no one else has ever really evoked that out of me,,” he says one afternoon as you’re sitting between him and a pile of books he’s dragged out of the library
you giggle and kun looks at you all cute and confused
while you tell him that it’s nothing, he’s just - full of surprises
kun and you dating does surprise the rest of nct
notably lucas whose like “bro you are my roommate,,,,how did i not know you were getting spicy with someone”
you: “did he just say spicy?”
kun, deadpan: “that’s just lucas.”
doyoung grabbing lucas by the year: “apologize to them for calling their young beautiful love spicy right now.”
sicheng in mandarin to kun: “but ,,,,, are you two spicy,,,,you know-”
jkjkjkjk
but after the initial shock wears off,,,,you become a natural part of the group
you sort of stay in the sidelines watching nct get up to no good
with kun at your side, shrugging it off and telling you that when you’re both needed to save someone - you’ll be there
but secretly, for kun, it’s finally such a relief to have someone there with him
even if he’d always been content with being the quiet, always comes to the rescue at the last minute kind of friend
there had still been times when he hadn’t even been able to bring his own problems to the table 
but now, with you, he can do that
and you’re probably the only one in the world to ever see kun get stressed
so much so that when you tell taeyong you’re thinking of maybe getting kun something to distract him from all his worries
taeyong chokes on his rice and goes, “he-he’s worried about something?!!?”
(moral of the story is you teaching nct to pay attention to kun’s pains sometimes - mark apologizes profusely for almost an hour about not doing so)
but no really, finally for kun there’s someone who not to be a total cornball
but someone who puts him first - just like he puts everyone else
and to be honest it’s nice to be taken care of 
also you’re cute. you’re cute when you’re taking care of him. or when you’re not taking care of him. or when you’re right in front of him. or when he’s getting distracted looking at your photo which he made his phone background in class. basically you’re very cute
kun tells everyone you’re very cute
there are many ways to say cute in different languages and kun might just learn all of them just so he can call you cute
also, aside from telling his friends about your relationship - you also end up taking them to the bar
to see kun in action
and although it kind of makes kun a little shy, all of nct nearly fall off their chairs when they see him get into the groove
johnny even claims, in a bit of a tipsy manner, that kun really is the coolest of all of them huh - taeyong you may have your perfect face but kun is really winning oh shit im going to fall dow-
ten, the designated driver thanking you and kun when you have to drag taeil down from atop the bar stage after the tenth time of singing “what is love?”
but anyway back to your relationship with kun
he really is such an attentive person, it’s just part of him to pick up on the little things
he knows your habits, he knows your likes and dislikes 
you dont even have to tell him where to put his hand around you - he knows that you prefer your waist over your shoulders
he knows that you hate milk in your coffee
he knows that you’d much rather wear his green hoodie than the red button down jungwoo got him for christmas 
he knows when you’re mad before you can even say anything, he knows you’re about to cry before the tears even fall
and you’re so amazed he soaks up all this information and remembers it about you
because it makes you feel completely and utterly loved
people who otherwise don’t know much about kun like to assume he’s kind of closed up
that he doesnt pay attention, that he’s off in his own world
but that’s not true - not at all
and even though kun always pulls you into his arms, nose settled in the crook of your neck
murmuring that there’s nothing in the world he wants then to be here alone with you 
you sometimes want to pull him up and have the world realize who he is 
how great he is 
and how much you love him
also can i just say that he’s so sweet that when you first end up staying the night kun’s hand trembling on the buttons of your jeans
he looks up, eyes blown out and his hair a mess from making out just to go
“stop me now, i dont want to keep going because if i do i think i might really become addicted to you.”
LIKE HE LITERALLY SAYS THAT 
and had it not been for you just really wanting him - you might have burst out into tears and hugged him close because he’s so cute
(you know after he was all shy like,,,was it ok,,,i haven’t done this much,,,,,if i can i will impro- *you shut him up with a lot of kisses*)
sometimes you’ll still swing by the bar for a drink on a bad day, but instead of it you swing by
and kun signals to the manager for his break
only to meet up with you out back
and ask you whats wrong, even though he knows what you actually want
which is to kiss his face
and he lets you
(has had to fix his bowtie a LOT more since he started dating you) 
(also had to start carrying a comb with him because gosh darn it you keep messing up his hair)
you know that kun is good at making drinks, but when he cooks some of his home favorite meals
you take one bite
get up
and go over to smother him in more kisses
“you are husband material, you know this right?”
kun tilting his head with his chopsticks in his mouth: “i dont think i am.”
you getting up again to give him even more kisses: “god i love you”
kun doesn’t talk much when you guys hang out with his friends which is like totally normal 
and you’re ok just cuddling into his side, watching the rest of nct make a fool of themselves
at the movies or at the park or wherever
but one day kun is like “guys wanna see my new magic trick?”
and everyone is like hell yeah
and youre like ? wonder what it is, he didn’t show me this one yet either
and then kun just goes 
“right now ill show you guys my ENTIRE universe. wanna see it?”
and all of nct is like huh
and doyoung is like snorting like there’s no way to shrink the universe down or something like what are you going to pull out a tiny globe keychain out of your pocket-
kun pointing directly to you
“there it is. my entire universe.”
nct: dead:
you: literally going to faint
kun: thank you. no need for a standing ovation.

headcanons for a no-cult au? (eyes emoji)
After further questioning you specified ships, soooo: With Deputy Grant
The Seeds seek out the professional help that they need. 
John is reluctant to get psychological help, but Joseph gently pressures him into it.
Jacob also goes to a military support group on top of that. It’s there that he meets Grant, and the pair hit it off. 
Super secret Jacob/Grant ending for @devotchkas: And then they catch feelings and live as happily as two damaged souls healing together can be. 
John doesn’t want to go from practicing law in a big city to the middle of Bumblefuck Montana, but again, what Joseph says goes. 
John’s super mad about it, especially when Joseph bags him a job as a public defender- Gross.
That is, until he gets called in to defend some spitfire chick and her soldier friend who broke into the Kay Nine Kennels because there were rumors the dogs were being mistreated. It goes as such: 
John, arriving but also ready to fight Joseph and Whitehorse: “This is ridiculous, I’m too good for this, I have better things to do. I’ll do it this once, but after this I am OUT-” (opens door)Grant: 
Tumblr media
John: “ … …. “ (walks back out) “Nevermind, I’m in” (Preens quickly and goes back inside)
After that’s all cleared up, they eventually start dating
Months later, Grant and Jacob go into business training support dogs together. John absolutely hates it (read: is jealous that his big brother gets to spend a bunch of time with his man), but the second John sees Grant so happy with the dogs, as well as the training reject Grant adopted as his own, it’s game over, he’s smitten all over again and A-OK with it. 
Joseph plays Dad with constantly asking if they’re serious/if a wedding is on the horizon for them. John hates it because it gets him thinking
So after  just over a year of dating, after they do a  flight in Affirmation to get away from the world,  flying in Affirmation just to get away form the world for a bit, Mr. Silver Tongue basically word vomits a proposal because his nerve are shot. Grant giddily accepts, and they and their army of good doggos live happily ever after. 
For Nic: I basically mini ficced the first half of this this already BUT: 
After her mother’s passing, Nic moves to Hope County to be near the closest person she’s got to family left, Whitehorse. The pair of them work on settling her affairs, but Nic’s scumbag father contacts them and comes by, ready to take everything out from under them. 
Enter Lawyer John, who hears Nic panicking about it at the local coffee shop. He schmoozes his way into the conversation, at first just to get a job and get paid, but the fact that Nic is easily one of the most attractive women he’s seen in Hope County is a bonus.  
Fast forward a bit, they manage to settle everything and chase Nic’s dad away from the situation. They part as friends, everything’s fine and dandy. 
And then while she’s at the Rye barbeque, she finds out that she and John are essentially neighbors because he’s just down the road from them and she’s been living in their guest room for a while. 
John attempts to pursue her now that she’s not a client, but at first she ain’t having it because she’s heard about his reputation of being a “one and done” type. 
He persists, but isn’t suffocating about it either, so with some goading from Sharky, Addie and Kim, she finally gives him the time of day. 
The date goes really well, and as far as she’s concerned, he needs a “Not as Big of an Asshole as He Could’ve Been” award. They have a lot in common, etc. He talks her into a second date, then a third and so on ‘til they’re the talk of the town. 
Cal still turns out to be an Oops Baby from their first time together in this Verse, too. 
Nic drops that bombshell on him, John steps the fuck up, recruits Jacob and Joseph to help him build a bunch of stuff for the baby when it comes and seeks out baby advice from the Ryes - so naturally courtesy of Nick the news is EVERYWHERE the next day. 
John makes a big show of proposing in the middle of Falls End to back up all the stepping up he’s doing. Complete with that “ATTENTION EVERYONE, I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!! (wide gestures at her)” Hallmark movie nonsense. 
They too live happily ever after with Baby Cal, eventually Babies Ariadne and Willa, and then the army of animals Nic takes in because pregnancy makes her a bleeding heart for cute cuddly things.

 character name/codename: Raymond “Ray” Terrill-Snart || The Ray 
 character age: 33 (Almost 34) 
 faceclaim: Russell Tovey 
 species: Meta-human | Hero 
 occupation: Glow in the Dark Care Bear  Freedom Fighter/Vigilante 
 biography (ooc note: Freedom Fighters: The Ray has been added to the Arrowverse timeline but there are a number of continuity errors that don’t add up. I tried to fix it in his bio here.) 
 past: Born in March 1985 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Earth-1 to Robert and Grace Terrill. He lived a fairly normal human life, although it wasn’t without its issues. His older brother Michael was a Marine killed in Afghanistan and Ray always aspired to be just like him. Ray chose a different way to help people though and worked in Tulsa’s Department of Fair Housing until a congressman shut them down. 
 After being fired, Ray went home to his parents place for dinner - his mom’s meatloaf. In his distress, he blurted out that he and his friends in the Department of Fair Housing had been fired. His parents were sympathetic but his dad made the comment that maybe now he could get a “real job”. Annoyed, Ray went out into the back garden and made a call to his friend from the department, John. The call was interrupted when Ray’s doppelganger from Earth-X arrived, handing him Red Tornado’s cortex and then dying in a burst of light, which then hit Ray. Ray discovered that the light from his doppelganger was photo kinetic energy that in turn made him a meta-human with the ability to fly and shoot beams of light from his body. It also gave him the ability to vibrate the molecules of his body to disperse and rejoin at will, making him temporarily intangible. 
He managed to activate the cortex and learn of the evils on Earth-X, deciding to go there and help with his new powers. Ray teamed up with the Freedom Fighters, fighting by their side and becoming somewhat of a leader of their resistance group. He also meet the love of his life in the Resistance, Leo Snart. 
Several years pass and Earth-1 becomes a target to the rulers of Earth-X. Leo and Ray help the heroes of Earth-1 and then Ray returns to Earth-X to finish the job of overthrowing the oppressors. Leo stayed for a bit on Earth-1 then came back and proposed.
 present: Things on Earth-X are going a lot better these days, especially now Ray is married to Leo. (Seriously, he is so smitten with Leo it’s enough to cause toothache). There are still struggles on Earth-X but for the most part the world is rebuilding and healing. Leo and Ray heard through the grapevine that things on Earth-1 were starting to go a bit pear shaped. 
Leo didn’t hesitate to go and help their friends but Ray paused. Saying he wanted to tie up a few loose ends on Earth-X, Ray stayed behind. Although, truth was he was a bit scared going back to his home world knowing how much his time away had changed him - Ray was always a bit shy when it came to getting acceptance from others, in particular, his parents, who kind of don’t know that he is married. (Oops). It took him two weeks to realize what an idiot he was being and then he found a way back to Earth-1, landing in Central City. 
 positive traits: Dedicated, generous and selfless (which are kind of the same things), extremely tolerant. 
 negative traits: A little naive, overprotective, and can not leave a job unfinished so will work to the bone to see it through (can be a positive but he is very lucky to have a husband that understands that he can’t just up and leave for another Earth like he can).
 para sample: No sooner had the portal to Earth-1 closed behind Leo, did Ray feel like he had made the wrong decision. He had wanted to go with Leo, show him his world. But there were still things that needed to be done on Earth-X before he could go home. It had nothing to do with the fact he hadn’t been home in years and had no clue as to how his parents would react to him being gone so long, let alone finding a great guy that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Honest.
Okay, maybe worry over his parents reaction had a little to do with it. But they were conservative.
With a sigh, he turned from where the portal was and headed back into the main room of the Freedom Fighters headquarters. It was looking less and less like a military base by the day and slowly becoming a construction site for the new era that was being built. “Hey Ray! Can you give us a hand over here?” Someone called from across the room, waving in his direction.
“Sure. What do you need?” Ray called back, making his way over. There was still a lot to be done and Ray then knew that even though he wanted to travel with his love, he made the right choice in staying behind.
