Note

I loved your analysis! Can you analyse the (barely there, not enough) Darklina scenes from the KOS duology? I could not rationalize some of what was going on there.

First of all, I'm so sorry for taking that long to reply, anon! (Hasn't it been over two weeks since you send this or what??😭😭)

Second, thank you so much for your kind words! 💗💗

Third, you and I both friend 🤝🤝

'Cause honestly I didn't know what the fuck was happening in that interaction too 😭

I'll actually analyze the only Darklina scene we got in RoW. But if you want another one too, just send me an ask!

So! Let's dive in and analyze that hot mess, shall we?

(note: I had to go back and read this scene very carefully in order to understand what the actual fuck they were saying💀)

⚠️TW!: PTSD, trauma⚠️

The way he's so obedient with her even in this life 😭

If somebody else had ordered him to do that, he wouldn't obey. But Alina? Alina is a different story and this is the first time he hears her voice since his death in R&R.

'Any little victory'

Uhh....okay...??

You made him wipe his feet. I'm.... impressed??

(confusion levels 📉)

LMAO MY BOY WOKE UP AND CHOSE VIOLENCE

I always believed that the dynamic between Aleksander and Alina involves lots of teasing. But not in the fun sense. But in the sense of "I'm getting under your skin. My words to you sting".

And that's what the Darkling does here too. He's a prisoner. Their prisoner. So he tries to gain the upper hand by using his wits, his past with Alina and the latter's trauma against her to get even.

Pretty clever, huh?

See what I mean?

He tries to weaken her confidence and it's interesting that back in Keramzin he also tried to get even (and he did) by killing her mother figure.

Aleksander: "Wanna fuck with me? Wanna mess with me? How about that time when I burnt that orphanage and killed your "mother"?"

*Alina's sure confidence is gone and now the Darkling has the upper hand in her feelings*

OUTSTANDING MOVE 👌

Excuse me, Misha? Who the Hell gave you the permission to interrupt or talk at all??

Also, do you really expect from the Darkling to remember a little boy while he was too busy trying to rule a nation, win a war and persuade Alina to join him?

And if you also expect him to remember you from that time when Baghra went out to confront her son while you escorted her, then you're also wrong. 'Cause he was too busy being furious that his mother sided and helped the opposite side and too busy being distraught because he was watching her fall to her death.

You're not important, son.

Sit down.

LMAO THIS IS SO HILARIOUS

Misha you're still an infant. Please shut up.

I honestly liked him in the Grisha Trilogy (I found him a cutie) but now I want to slap him and everyone else in this duology except Aleksander

The Darkling has survived numerous murdering attempts against him. He was finally killed by Alina not because of some grand display of her powers but because the former was so heartbroken by Alina's fate (and his own because he would be alone) that he just gave up on his life. Basically he committed suicide.

Misha, you wouldn't be able to kill him even now that he's powerless and in chains. Probably you would stumble and fall in the effort or smth.

Uhh actually no, Mal.

Threating him only makes you sound like idiots, honestly.

Also, since when did Mal gained ✨wisdom✨?

Wasn't he the hot-tempered one in the trilogy who always got angry with the mere mention of the Darkling? And the one who wanted to kill him as well?

Alina, you know damn well what his name is.

Honestly, I think she didn't say it because she wanted to respect the fact that he trusted her to keep it.

And I agree that Yuri is a horrible name for him. Makes him seem like a fisherman 😭

Meanwhile Alina in S&B:

So either Bardugo kinda forgot these scenes or we're led to believe that these scenes weren't her being happy, but we thought she was happy.

(me casually ignoring that theory because I choose to believe only the things that MAKE SENSE)

The fact that Bardugo made Alina believe that she was unhappy when she was whole with her powers and surrounded by people like her but totally happy now that she has no powers (a part of her soul actually) and living with a man that slut-shamed her in a toxic, childhood place is umm... yeah. Not good.

So basically:

Aleksander: "You look different. You look like shit. What the fuck did they do to you? This is not you"

Alina: "No bro I'm happy now that I live in toxic conditions where the teachers mock me, Mal takes me out for a walk to forget my psychological traumas and I raise some Grisha children that will fade because they don't use their powers and some others that I probably am in no condition to raise. At least that's what the author said is happiness, bro."

Aleksander: "......."

Alina: "......"

The readers: "........."

ALEKSANDER IS HONESTLY ALL OF US FRR WITH HIS LINES

"In peace"

Yeah, having PTSD certainly is peaceful. And knowing that you abandoned your country and left its fate to chance certainly makes you sleep like a baby at night.

"We chose the life we wanted"

Alina, you didn't CHOOSE to lose your powers. And before that you didn't even know what you wanted to do with your life. It was a last minute decision for you.

"I fell pray to the same greed that drove you"

Girl, are we the only ones who did our homework??

In his POV in RoW he confirmed that he tampered with merzost in the past because he wanted to stop Ravka's wars. So as far as we know he never used power exclusively for himself.

"I paid the price for tampering with merzost"

Now hold a second. I thought that the reason Alina lost her powers is because Morozova wanted that said power to be shared by any otkazat'sya around. It wasn't that much of a punishment as much as a need for Morozova to share that power.

Unless it was..... both?

I just want a guy that will believe in me and my abilities the way Aleksander does with Alina, man 😭

He strongly believes that she could become a Queen even without her powers. And he's actually so right when he says to her that her wounds won't heal. Because no matter how much you try to convince yourself that you are alright. No matter how hard you try to persuade your mind that you're not broken, reality will always hit you. Some wounds never heal and Alina's certainly will not. She didn't lose a toy, she lost a part of her soul and witnessed many die. How the hell does she think she's suitable to raise children, when she herself is NOT okay psychologically?

"In the wake of your wars"

Excuse me. Why is the Fjerdan and Shu wars always the Darkling's fault??

"And maybe when our country is free, then that wound will close"

She sounds so brainwashed bye--

And just like I said, wounds like that never close unfortunately. It can only become more bearable with time. But not forgetable.

Ah yes. Bardugo makes us watch how cute their relationship is.

Am I supposed to take off my camera and snap pictures of them whispering with tears in my eyes: "They look so adorable"?

'Cause I won't.

The way Bardugo has made Mal unfazed by the Darkling's comments. A thing that completely contrasts his nature in the Grisha trilogy.

He also made him have "sassy" lines because we've got to like him somehow, right? 🤗

Still hate him

Basically, dear anon, the author has made Mal more "likeable", immune to the Darkling's insults, patient and witty in order for us to change our mind about him and finally like him.

(mission failed btw)

He is literally nothing like his trilogy counterpart and, if possible, she made him more annoying.

(how the hell she managed to do that, I don't know)

I just feel sorry for Aleksander who has to deal with all these jerks. If I were there, I would have helped him kill them and bury their bodies.

Because you let your heart and feelings get the better of you, Aleksander. Because you proved to be the most human of all these characters here. You let her come close. And that's what killed you.

(also, shut up Misha)

Alina, you could have said "no" to that invitation. So stop acting like they dragged you from the hair here.

"Do you think you could manage it?"

Do you, Alina? 'Cause really, what did YOU do to make the lives of Grisha better? At least he built a palace for them.

"It's not like you didn't get a fair try before. Hundreds of tries"

Yeah, and half of them failed because you got in the way. You refused to listen to him and, even if you didn't like the way he dealt with the persecution, you chose to run away (again) instead of deciding to stay and do better.

SHE DID NOT JUST SAY THAT ZOYA AND NIKOLAI COULD DO BETTER LMAO 😭😭

Zoya, the very fact that he mentioned you should feel like a badge of honor.

And yet Ravka is in its worst condition ever.

Sorry Alina but I don't see shit from them.

The fact that the Darkling keeps mentioning that he's eternal is to remind them that he has seen everything and done everything. He has more experience than they will ever have. Not to gloat about it. And yet Alina takes it as the latter.

And it's funny that Alina turns him down for the job saying he has no powers when Alina herself suffers from the same condition 😀

Finally someone with self-reflection.

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING!!

PREACH!! PREACH!! 👏👏

When you have the "villain" exposing the true problem in the story, the flaws and failures while having the heroes screaming "EVERYTHING IS FINE. YOU'RE WRONG!" then you know that something is wrong.

How the Hell are they gonna provide eternal peace in Ravka and to the Grisha when:

They have no experience

They are too busy criticizing the villain instead of looking at their own flaws

They doubt themselves

(you can add to the list, guys)

And he's not shaken because he's talking with a Saint, Zoya. He's shaken because he's talking to Alina. She always had a way in getting under his skin. He said it.

"Fine. Make me your villain" fits here 'cause he never perceived himself as the bad guy but he knew that this is what others thought of him.

I think it still stung to him to know that others saw his every action in a negative light but he still kept going. And sometimes he even used it (at the end of R&R).

Alina still wants to believe that there's something redeemable inside him. Her POVs were always the "kindest" in the way they painted the Darkling.

MISHA COULD YOU PLEASE SHUT IT

What about his mother, huh??

Who, despite the abuse he suffered from her, he still cared about??

Alina?? Oh boy, he was in love with her, obsessed and gave her so many chances. Something that he almost never does unless he's desperate.

So PRETTY PLEASE STOP TALKING

Meanwhile the Darkling in R&R, chapter 11:

"I have regretted many of the things I’ve had to do in this war."

So either Bardugo forgot that or Alina did or Aleksander changed his mind.

Or (my theory) Bardugo changed his perception in order for us to feel less sympathetic towards him.

Nevertheless, at least he has a spine and knows where he stands.

And Alina wanted the Darkling to say it not for him but for her. So she can feel okay. Unless Zoya is talking bullshit.

YES ALEKSANDER WHY DIDN'T YOU LIE SO OUR HEROINES COULD FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEMSELVES???!!

HOW DARE YOU?? 😠😠

He tries so hard to persuade her that the reality she lives in will not pay off anything. First off, this is not who she is or what she was meant to become and second, why does she teaches children stories that are lies? Feeding them false hope, repeating a circle that others had also been doing.

"Do you *really* believe..."

He wants to make sure that she stands by that. He just can't believe that this is her opinion. Her choice.

He just wants her to shine people!! 😭😍

"Those stories tell us the only people who matter are Kings and Queens. They're wrong"

Now tell me, Alina, which stories do YOU tell them? What do you teach them? That the world is as rosy as the orphanage they live in, where they only eat sugar and play the piano? Do you imagine what kind of reality check will those children get once they live in the real world?

And here, ladies and gentlemen, we see the Darkling having reached his limits and saying "Fuck this shit I'm out"

Congratulations, Aleksander! You survived that meeting with these buffoons and their groundless arguments!! 👏👏

Here, have this! 🏅

He saw his chance (Alina holding Mal's hand) and seized it. But I think he really meant all those questions he asked to Alina.

So, dear anon, what we have here is the villain making his effort (again) to be heard and understood. He tries to make them see his own point of view: Ravka is in serious danger and Zoya and Nikolai are in no position to protect it. He, on the other hand, can since he has more experience and balls to deal with these issues. The Darkling is no pussy. He truly makes hard decisions when he must, something that essentially all rulers must do when the situation calls for it.

But! We have the good guys silencing him and threating him (even having a little child to do the last one) in order for the reader to understand what he has left in his wake. How much pain he has caused.

Mal has gotten ✨magically✨ wiser and calmer and has actual wits to repel the Darkling's insults in order for us to get to like Mal and see how much he has changed.

Alina sounds like a brainwashed woman who is convinced that her lifestyle is great! That wanting something more (idk. a throne and changing the world maybe) is sinful and unfitting of her.

Aleksander is the only one who thinks otherwise for her, though. Thank God, I mean!

He sought Alina out both to reclaim his powers and because he just wanted to see her.

Personally, in this scene only the Darkling makes sense. The others either want to feel good about themselves by threating him or want to convince him that "Hey, we're the good ones here. We know what we're doing, okay?" and his own ways are shit.

Dear anon, if you have any other questions or want me to analyze any other Darklina scene from this book or duology that I didn't include, then just say so!

And please any others who want to add something about this scene, feel free to criticise in the comments! 💛💛

a/n: I accidentally deleted the request but someone asked for: "chigiri,friends to lovers" if u see this thanks for requesting,its my first ever "xreader" i hope it doesn't suck that much.

character:Chigiri Hyouma

content:fluff,a bit of angst,but mostly fluff

｡ﾟﾟ･｡･ﾟﾟ｡

ﾟ。 Friends to Lovers w/ Chigiri ♡ ﾟ･｡･ﾟ

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

As friends

•As we all know chigiri has been popular as soon as he got into highschool for his talent(and for his looks obvi)so you probably heard of him before becoming his friend

•I think it would have been hard to be his friend

•Before his knee injury, because of his football skills he always thought of himself as superior to others but i feel like he was also modest about it.

•His personality was kinda a 50/50

•After the injury that feeling of superiority crumbles but he had a hard time and ended up building walls around himself

•So yeah,to become his friend you would have to be really patient

•But lets say that u managed to overcome this arduous task and became his friend(yay!!)

•You guys would probably spend lunch together in silence enjoying eachothers company or have some small talk

•If you're somebody who's into "having a good apparece" you would probably talk about fashion,hairstyles,etc.

•I feel like before going to Blue Lock he couldn't really open up about football bc it made him remember his past

•So if you two probably didn't talk about football much and it would be better for the friendship

•He appreciates you for still being by his side since you're probably one of the few people that still recognize him for who he is,after his sister and mother. That's probably when he started to feel something for you but he kept it low-key bc he really didn't need to get hurt even more tbh😔🫂

•Also bc he wouldn't want his family to find out bc they would tease the crap out of him

•I JUST KNOW THAT HE'D BE THE TYPE OF FRIEND THAT WOULD BUY YOU SOMETHING WARM TO DRINK WHEN ITS COLD OR SOME SNACKS,OR THE TYPE OF FRIEND THAT WILL TELL U THE TRUTH YOU NEED TO HEAR BC HE KNOWS THAT IT WOULD MAKE YOU IMPROVE EVEN IF IY HURTS

•love him frfr

He starts falling for u

•I feel like with Chigiri u probably fell first but he fell harder

•You fell first but when he had girls drooling over him and he rejected all of them bc he wanted to focus only on football,gotta admit,it scared u

•And when them fake ass bitches left bc he stopped playing soccer it just felt wrong

• +100 points for u for being considerate of his feeling

•So the both of u kept ur feeling for urself and expected them to just fade away since u two we're already friends,but surprise surprise,they didn't left and u were stuck with them. Especially when he left for blue lock without saying much,u just thought about moving on but who can tbh

•Chigiri liked u for ur kind,positive and cheerful personality,the perfect energy that he needed when the world seemed against him.

•He probably realized how much he liked you when he was in Blue lock very far away from you,when no one was there to tell him that's everything was going to be fine.

•When he managed to get his hands of his phone he texted hai family and you

•You were surprised and happy that he remembered you and so was him when u texted back

•You both promised eachothers and you were gonna meet up as soon as possible

•and y'all did

•You two decided to meet up at a cute coffee shop to catch up and it's exactly what happened,you guys clicked and ended up talking for hours.

•You we're nevrvous about meeting him again since ur crush was still there but it was a relief that he was doing better and seeing him talk about football again with happy eyes

•Yup, everything was fine and you started hanging out more often when he had time

•Everyone around you probably thought you two were dating

•Everything felt so natural that u both forgot that none of y'all confessed💀

•He was so stressed about it cuz he wanted to be more than friends but didn't know how to tell u

•He was thinking to hard about it at the point that the next time u guys met up you noticed he was acting a bit weird: he was avoiding eye contact,he wouldn't even make the mistake to be close to u and his answers were really dry,but sometimes you could see him blush a little bit and noticed how sometimes his ears would get red

•While he was fighting himself to choose how to tell you about his feelings to you just managed to obtain mixed signals

•so confusing ikr

•So one day when he was taking you back to your house you decided to ask him about it

~imagine this:

You guys were side by side walking towards your house,none of you were talking,it was a bit awkward ngl.

The sun was saying its goodbye and it was getting cold but it didn't bother you since all the toughts that were going through your head were distracting you.

You stopped walking and he noticed so he stopped too after taking some steps ahead.

"Y/N..? Is everything ok?" Chigiri asked with his calm voice,but he looked at you with a bit of concern since you weren't answering.

He took some steps to get closer to you and that's when you said:" Chigiri can i ask you something?"trying to not look at him in the eyes.

"Sure" he said.

"Is everything ok between us,you've been acting a bit distant lately,did i do something to upset you?" You said,proud of yourself for managing to say it without stuttering or sounding desperate.

There was a bit of silence and you were ready to just move on and tell him that you could just walk by yourself from here.

You looked at him and it was your first time seeing him with a face color that matched his hair.

"..I'm sorry,that's the total opposite of what I'm trying to do" he said with a quiet voice audible only to you

You stayed silent waiting for him to say more.

"Actually Y/N(🤓), there's something I've been wanting to tell you for the past months"he said.

You were looking at him with eyes full of hopes that something might change from today(spoiler: it did)

"I like you..I've been liking you for a while to be precise,I don't know if it's the right time or if you-Are you crying?"

He notice you trying to opress your sobs,without much success.

"Was my confession that bad?" He asked with a nervous smile on his face.

It wasn't,in fact it was the best thing you've been told this past months.What a relief,you felt like you could finally breathe.

"No. No,it was good. Pretty good actually" you said while trying to get rid of the tears at the end of your eyes,while having a big smile printed in your face.

"It's such a relief,I'm glad" you said.

"So..Do u feel the same?" he said while coming closer to u,wanting to hold your hand.

"Isn't it obvious?" You said while laughing a bit,he also laughed,feeling at ease in the moment.

•and y'all started dating. Happy ending yay

a/n: Should I do a part.2 with chigiri as ur bf?lemme know. Thanks for reading.

OC Questionnaire

I was tagged by @stargazer-sims, @drawing-way-outside-the-lines, @bool-prop, and @happy-lemon. Hehehehehe now I get to do more than one! 😈

Aiden Ayy 👽

Name: Aiden Ayy

Nickname: He was definitely that kid who tried to nickname himself and then got frustrated when nothing stuck. Despite his best childhood efforts, Aiden has no nicknames. 😭

Gender: Male

Star sign: Gemini ♊

Height: 5'8"

Orientation: Pansexual

Nationality/Ethnicity: 100% Sixamite

Favorite Fruit: On Earth, pineapple. On Sixam, grarglefroot. It's basically a pineapple except blue.

Favorite Season: Spring.

Favorite Flower: I think I answered this before in a different post with some wild ass flower that looks like it belongs on an alien planet which is great worldbuilding and all but I literally forgot what it was so let's go with basic bitch roses. 😅

Favorite Scent: Cinnamon.

Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate: Aiden is up for any of these as long as they're spiked. He hasn't yet learned that not everyone does that all the time and that it makes you look like you have a problem if you do.

Average Hours of Sleep: Aiden doesn't actually need sleep! He meditates to restore his brain power but sleep isn't necessary for him. He's a lot like D&D elves in that way. He can choose to sleep if he wants to, though, because dreams are fun and he looks cute when he's eepy. 🥺

Dogs or Cats: Yes. Any animal at all, really. Aiden is fascinated with them.

Dream Trip: Sixam. Poor baby wants to go home. 😭

Number of Blankets: "I'm worried what you just heard was 'give me a lot of blankets'. What I said was 'give me all the blankets you have.' Do you understand?"

Random Fact: Aiden is based on a Sim I created in the Sims 2 when I was 18 for a Bachelorette Challenge. It was, predictably, a disaster, and the poor baby kept having mental breakdowns. I decided it was because he was new to Earth and the stress of all the unfamiliarity wore heavily on him, but it was definitely because I didn't know how to cheat needs at the time. He got a visit from the invisible psychiatrist more than once, you know? It became a character trait! Aiden, the nervous alien who just wants love. 👽💚

Roman Gallan 🧜‍♂️

Name: Roman Gallan

Nickname: "Hey Asshole". Guess who gave him that one. Go on, guess. (It was his little sister)

Gender: Male

Star sign: Leo ♌

Height: 5'11"

Orientation: Gay

Nationality/Ethnicity: Icthyan

Favorite Fruit: He's super fond of this obscure Earth fruit called a "lemon". He eats them whole, peel and all. Somebody please teach him not to do this. 😐

Favorite Season: Summer

Favorite Flower: Any and all wildflowers.

Favorite Scent: Cedar. Beating the moth accusations for sure.

Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate: Coffee. He likes it bitter and strong enough to crawl out of the cup under its own power.

Average Hours of Sleep: 5 or 6. He should probably sleep more but it's kind of hard when the distorted whispers of the primordial god that created your planet are emanating from your eye sockets. Most Icthyans learn to accept it as kind of a cursed ASMR, but Roman tends to sleep light anyway.

Dogs or Cats: Cats.

Dream Trip: It says here in my notes that he's always wanted to visit Uranu--ROMAN, SERIOUSLY?!

Number of Blankets: Roman's a hot sleeper, so no blankets for him, thanks.

Random Fact: Like all Icthyans, Roman is amphibious. He has lungs and can breathe on dry land like any Earth Sim, but he's also able to breathe underwater for an extended period of time.

I think everybody and their dog has done this one by now considering ol' Professional Crastinator Laura's stellar time management skills. 🙄 Let's throw a few names out, though. @miss-may-i, @treason-and-plot, @llamabees, @bellakenobi, @kimmiessimmies, @rebelangelsims, @moyokeansimblr, @id-element0. As always, ignore if you've already done it or just don't want to.

#tag game #tag meme #just simblr things #oc development #oc questions #sim: aiden ayy #sim: roman gallan

A/N: And here’s part two! Hope you all enjoy!

- Let me just tell you, I have some opinions when it comes to Steve. He doesn’t get a lot of screen time, doesn’t get a lot of the spotlight, which means I get to mold him to whatever I want to! So! I say that Steve’s great with a shy S/O, it just takes him a while to get used to your meek and mild personality. He’s sort of loud and outgoing, gotta be heard over loud engines and keep up with Sodapop, but I think he’d benefit from having you around. You’d calm him down when he gets too hype, he’d hype you up when you need a cheerleader. Loves to hold your hand in crowds, keep you close to his hip when you go out. You don’t like crowds, he likes showing you off, it’s a win-win situation for the both of you! You’re happy, he’s happy, everyone is good to go. I don’t think it takes him long to introduce you to the boys? It goes back to that whole showing-you-off thing, he likes to brag about you so he’d introduce you, slow enough not to freak you out, but soon enough that the boys are familiar with you.

- Dating someone shy is one of the best things for Two-Bit. He needs someone to rein him in at times, be that soft voice of reason and calm presence beside him. That being said, Two-Bit’s going to do everything he can to try and “help” you break out of your shell. He’ll take you to parties, bring you around the boys all the time and push your boundaries just enough to try and get you to be more outgoing. He likes to have his hands on you and he’s kinda loud so sometimes you guys get a lot more attention than you’d like to have. Sometimes these efforts backfire on him, and you get mad, but when he smiles that crooked little smile and tips his head just so, how can you really stay mad at him? He brings you around the boys all the time though. You first met them as soon as you started dating. If you can handle Two, you can handle the rest of the boys, trust me on that one, sweetheart.

- I say Tim’s good with a S/O and for the sake of this blog’s canon, that means Tim’s good with his shy S/O. He’s loud when he wants to be I think, but I generally see Tim as sort of laid-back and quiet. I don’t see him being loud and obnoxious. King of under his breath insults, if you’re catching my drift. With you though? Oh, Tim eats that right up. You’re cute and docile to his rough exterior and I think he’d really love that. He has no problem talking for you if you want him to, or putting himself between you and whatever you don’t want to interact with. Somebody won’t leave you alone? Tim steps in and promptly tells them to get lost. The boys in his gang keep trying to get you to join in their tomfoolery? Tim’s making up an excuse about how he wants to keep you to himself tonight and pulls you tighter to his side. So…maybe that last one wasn’t really an excuse…but you love it anyway. Also cause I almost forgot it, Tim would probably wait a while before introducing you to the boys because they’re sort of loud and wild (at least my version of his gang), and even though they have good hearts, Tim’s not too keen on the idea of possibly scaring you off.

- Curly Shepard, my beloved little boy, he’s gonna be so good and so bad if you’re shy. He’s got his brother’s protective streak with Two-Bit determination to get you out of your shell. Curly will punch anyone who refuses to leave you alone and then will also beg and plead and whine until you agree to go to a party with him. At the party, you don’t have to leave his side though! You can just hold his hand and stick with him, following him because you’re definitely out of your element. But, fear not, babe, Curly won’t make you stay at the party all night long. You’ve just gotta hang around for a while so he can catch up with everybody and boast about how great you are. No need to talk, no need to socialize, Curly will sing your praises all night long and compliment you endlessly. He thinks the blush on your face when he slips his hands into your pockets or kisses you in front of his friends is the cutest thing ever. Curly would tell his friends about you? But it takes a while to convince you to meet them. He wants to show you off. The second you guys started dating, officially dating, Curly was so ready to show you off. But Curly knows you’re shy and would wait for you to feel comfortable. He would still whine and complain and beg though, so just a heads up on that!

late night adventure;

Word count: 0.9k Pairing: Joshua x gn!reader Genre: fluff, friends to lovers (kind of) Warning: swearing Rating: pg-13

a/n: idk if it's even good pls..i haven't written for some time, i hope you will like it ehehe

“God, why have I even decided to agree to this trip?” you whispered to yourself walking in almost complete darkness of the small street. You came to this small town with your small group of friends. All of you planned this trip since spring because you wanted to have a vacation somewhere beside the ocean.

Now you escaped the company of your friends and thought about walking around and maybe going to the shore but then you found out that you lost and your phone died because you charged the device only through the night and you didn’t even spare a glance to see that it was discharged. “Shit..what should I do now? Where did I come from?” You stopped in the middle, no living soul around at this late hour. You don’t even have an opportunity to ask somebody where you should go at this point. You gave up the wish of going to the ocean, now you are more worried about getting back to your Airbnb. Your friends are probably worried, especially Seungkwan, he is freaking out if you do not pick up his calls, you can hardly imagine him now knowing that you sneaked out and your phone is off. You headed back, thinking in the direction where you came from when you suddenly heard shouts from afar. You couldn’t recognize a voice at first but it seems like the person shouts your name. You walked in the direction from where you guessed the sound came and as you came closer you deciphered the person’s voice, it’s Joshua. He is one of your really close friends that you met during your first year of the university, he seemed so shy at first but as you knew him better he only got wilder and this Joshua side attracted you so badly that you didn’t even know when and how you felt that pang in your chest that signalized that now it’s something more than silly friendship.

You turned around the corner and finally saw him “Joshy!” You smiled and waved your hand excitedly, while the boy came to you in a rushed step. “Oh god, are you okay? Has anything happened to you? Why is your phone turned off?” he took your arms in his, a worried expression written on his face. “Yeah, I’m okay, and no, nothing happened to me, don’t worry. I forgot to charge my phone so it’s actually..died. And I kind of lost my way without navigation.” you sighed. “You can’t believe how everyone got worried about you and especially when we found out that you turned your phone off, we thought you got kidnapped or something. Never escape like this ever again, okay? ” Joshua said to you, as you looked into his eyes, something warm was sipping through them that made you feel loved. “Sure, I won’t do this again” You nodded to him. “Where did you even want to go this late?” he asked curiously. “Well..I wanted to go to the beach, I thought it would be nice when there are not many people around and it’s so calm you know..just the sound of the waves and light wind” you sheepishly answered to the boy in front of you. “Oh..let’s go, I’ll lead the way” Joshua stretched his hand to you to connect your palms.

Once you reach the beach you immediately kick off your shoes and tug Joshua closer to the water line. The ocean looks majestic at night when there are almost no people around when you can see the flicker lights from the ships that are far from the shore and when you can see lights from another side of the beach that is more crowded.

The boy sat down on the sand while you came closer to feel the water with your already bare feet. You then turned to Joshua who silently watched you with a light smile adorning his pretty face, and you smiled back. He patted the sand beside him as a silent invitation for you to take a seat and you, of course, did. “It’s so good here, doesn’t it?” you said looking ahead at the water. “Yeah, it is, I love it here,” Joshua said, his eyes wandering around your facial features, and your silky hair, until he lowered his gaze onto your hand that was right beside his, just a few centimeters away. He hesitated for a second, but then he moved his hand, and delicately took your palm in his.

You quickly turn your head as you feel a sudden warmth on your hand and lock your eyes with Joshua’s. “To be honest..”, he started with a shy smile “This view I like better”, you were so thankful that it was already dark and he couldn’t see your probably tomato-like face.”I…uh..” You couldn’t say a word cause you didn’t know how to form any sentence anymore. Joshua on the other side took your hesitance for soft rejection, so he removed his hand while telling you “It’s okay if you are not ready or maybe you don’t feel the same-” when you suddenly grabbed his hand in yours and shook your head “No..It’s not..I feel the same! I..I like you” you mustered all the courage that you have inside to say those words. When you caught Joshua’s eyes you saw how shiny they became, how many emotions they held inside and the smile bloomed on his lips. “That’s good to know because I liked you too for some time already” he smirked and abruptly tugged you by hand and encircled you in his embrace. You thought that there was no more comfortable place in the world than in Joshua’s arms.

And maybe now you don’t regret your decision to come out late for this little hangout, cause it ended in the best way possible.

You are still crying lightly and its been hours already ever since you knew that Ni-ki was not with you. Everything is a mess, things are starting to get out of hand and you are slowly losing hope to survive. Thankfully, (sn's y/n) was there with you. She gives you comforting words along with warm hugs that you admit to need at the moment.

You are still not over by the fact that Ni-ki was lost when another heartbreaking scene happened right in front of you. One of your classmates turned out to be bitten and even before she can turn and hurt somebody, she volunteered to throw herself out from the window.

Tears stream down your eyes as you hold unto (sn's y/n), trying not to watch the awful scene. She was smiling and bidding goodbyes them wished everyone good luck. (jw's y/n) was heart broken at her loss and somehow, your heart aches with her. To lose someone very important to you and have nothing else that you can do is frustrating. Right now, you wanted to go outside and search for Ni-ki, but you know its not a wise decision.

He will hate you if he knew you risked your life just to look for him. He promised you that he will protect and look after you. He's somewhere safe. You slowly tried to convince and comfort yourself.

Your heads snapped over to the side when a sound of glass shattering errupted the silent room. Everyone were is mourning from the loss of your classmate and here again another problem that you all need to deal with.

Since the infected are crowding in front of the science lab, the glasses of the windows were breaking. It couldn't hold much of their weight and you know its just a matter of time before they managed to get inside.

Jungwon and the other boys gathered up to talk about something. Probably to plan what to do next since you're basically trapped. You have nowhere else to go except...

Your head slowly trailed over to the big windows at the other side of the room, where (classmate's name) threw herself moments ago. It may sound crazy, but that's the only shot you have. Your heart fell, totally against it. It could be very dangerous.

But based on how Jungwon checks the hose used to crack the room open, it seems like he planned to exit through those windows as well. You cursed lightly and as Sunoo approaches, he announced that the boys did think of going to the new room through that windows.

You showered him with complaints to hide your fear. Like you said, it's very dangerous and you guys are scared and hungry already. The thing you'll use to go down is just a hose. Imagine depending your life over a hose? That's clearly insane.

You are adventurous and people may see you as someone whose fearless, but the truth is you are just like that because you have Ni-ki beside you. All those amazing adventures you had, you're always with him. He serves as your strength and your constant reminder that you could do it. And without him here, you don't know if you can do it.

On the other hand, Ni-ki cursed as he stayed crouched lowly over a table. The room is basically vacant when he entered since all of the biters are crowding the science lab across the hall. There are just a few ones luring in front of this room and the doors were broken so he couldn't close it.

He can hear their grunts and movements not far away from him. His heart beats crazily and just tried his best to stay quiet. The table have a cloth that covers him from being seen by these infected students. It was not too thick allowing him to see them walk around from time to time.

It was terrifying for him. His mind suddenly got occupied by you. He's sure he saw you with the group, surrounded by your classmates. Sunoo is with you and so it made him a little relief because he knows he'll take good care of you.

He doesn't really wanted to be separated a while ago, but he was left with no choice. He ran across the hall since a lot of them are crowding you guys. It would be impossible to hold too many biters so he sacrificed a little just to make sure you get inside safely. He wasn't sure if its successful, but he hoped it was.

Back to you, the boys already managed to arranged the things that needed to move to the other room. Sunghoon volunteered to go first to check if the audio-visual room is really vacant. Your eyes unconsciously looked at (sh's y/n) and despite her cold face, you saw a glint of worry lingers through her eyes. It's her fiancé, anyway. After all, despite all the fights Sunghoon was the only one who's always there for her.

When he announced that it was safe to move, the boys instructed that girls should go first. Your eyes darted at the hand that held your arm softly.

"Can you encourage, (sn's y/n)? She's afraid of heights. I'll help them arrange something for a while." it was Sunoo.

You agreed right away and approached her with a small smile. She seemed very scared and worried while looking at the window.

"I heard from Sunoo that you're afraid of heights?" you started to catch her attention. She looked at you and there's still this amused expression that plays through her pretty eyes.

Ever since you started hanging out with her, she always have that face. Like she couldn't believe about a certain thing. You shrug it off and focused on cheering her on. She helped you calm down a while ago, it's just right for you to do her a favor as well.

You told her that you'll go first so she can watch and feel more comfortable with it. Stepping over the table, Jay helped you. A cold breeze greets you as you near the big windows. The boys assisting you were saying things, but your mind was too occupied about another thing.

You imagined Ni-ki beside you like always. You imagined him saying comforting things and encouraging you, assuring you that he will just be there for you. It sure was helpful to ease some of your worry and fear.

You let out a big sigh and smiled over to Jay then over to (sn's y/n).

"See you there!" you said before starting to climb down.

In the middle of going down, you can hear them continuously shouting things like 'you got it, y/n!' 'keep going!' 'you're almost there.' and so many more. As you make your last step, a hand reached over your waist congratulating you for doing well. It was Sunghoon and you just gave him a smile.

You stepped down and your eyes grew at the sight of your homeroom teacher. She quickly embarced you, telling you how happy she is that you are okay. You couldn't help but to start crying now.

"N-Ni-ki got separated." you announced. She cupped your face, looking at you with sorrowful eyes.

"I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure he is alright so don't worry, hmm?" she tried consoling you.

Hours passed by and Ni-ki can already feel his back aching because of his position. He was trying to massage it lightly when he heard the biters grunting. He stopped from his movements, thinking that it was him that caught their attention. But to his surprise, they started storming out of the room.

After making sure that the room were now vacant of biters, Ni-ki slowly crawled out from his hiding spot. He checked his surroundings and was about to start finding a way to cover the door, when he heard screams from somewhere. It's not the type of terrified screams, but instead he can hear them talking things like 'you can do it!'

It caught his attention he quickly moved over to the window to see what it was. He furrowed his brows in confusion as he couldn't believe what he's seeing.

"What the fuck..." he mumbled to himself as he watch how his classmates slowly go down the other room using a freaking hose.

He thought they were crazy, but he's no one to talk now because he's about to make a crazy move as well. He carefully stepped outside the window of the room he was and used the small space as his way closer to where you guys at.

The breeze blew over him, making him take deep breaths before slowly glancing beneath him. It was a long way down and he's sure if he wouldn't be careful, he will die from the fall. He shut his eyes and tried to calm himself.

"Calm down, Ni-ki. You got this." he tried convincing himself then started to move.

When he's close enough, he looked back and saw that it was his Jungwon hyung whose going down the hose. He was about to call him, but then a biter tried to follow him. It loses it balance and fell from the window but managed to grab onto Jungwon's leg.

Ni-ki cursed at the scene and stepped to another steep space, the room just above his Jungwon hyung.

"Jungwon hyung!" he called his attention. He glanced over him and despite the situation he was in, he couldn't hide the joy he felt seeing the younger one.

"Kick it!" he tried to instruct him.

"What do you think am I doing?" he sarcastically responded to him.

Ni-ki cursed and stared down to see how high he is from the ground. He huffed and tried shut the thoughts he's having inside his mind. He's think of something crazy and he wouldn't let these thoughts halt him.

"I will jump to you, hyung!" he announced just so the older one have an idea of his plan.

He saw the hesitation from his eyes, "What? W-Wait!"

But he didn't let even his hyung's words to stop him. He quickly jumped and managed to get a grip over his waist. Jungwon lets out a grunt as Ni-ki tried to kick the biter beneath them. After he managed to get rid of it, they both laugh together only to be interrupted by the sound of the hose giving up.

Ni-ki quickly made his way down, his hyungs greets him in joy but he couldn't focus at them as he was busy roaming his eyes in search for you. He was greeted by your tight embrace together with your soft cries that broke something in him.

He pursed his lips and returned the hug. He placed a soft kiss just beside your head before muttering comforting words for you. It didn't stop you from crying, tho. You continued and Ni-ki just hold you the whole time.

"I t-thought I lost you!" you managed to utter these words in between your cries.

Ni-ki pulls away and cupped your face. You have small cuts at your cheeks, but all in all you looked pretty as always. He smiled and wanted to lighten the mood by teasing you.

"What? I'm a little offended you think of your best friend as a weakling, y/n." he said in a teasing tone, but you have no time for it.

Instead of cursing him, you once again slid your arms over his waist hugging him. Making sure he's close enough for you to feel that he was really there. That he was real and that you aren't hallucinating due for too much longing for him.

Ni-ki was stunned and he then realized how scared you must have been to cling to him like this. He clenched his jaw and returned your hug even tighter then continued assuring you.

Once you calmed down, you sat beside (sn's y/n) while everybody else crowds the computer they found. Your eyes were fixed at Ni-ki. A small part of you still couldn't believe that he's here with you again.

"Do you think I should confess?" you suddenly blurt out for (sn's y/n). When you saw the surprise look she had, you let out a chuckle.

"Was it that not obvious? Maybe why he doesn't know it himself." you said and trailed back over to Ni-ki.

She cleared her throat, "N-No! I was just surprised." she said using this soft voice of hers.

Your head snaps at her and you couldn't help but to admire her. Some part of you felt bad because you didn't pay much attention to the people around you. You're not that sociable and prefers to keep your circle small, but after meeting (sn's y/n), you thought to yourself why you didn't approach her.

She's considerate, sweet and shy. You are very thankful that she's here with you and that you managed to make friends with her. Sadly, you feel bad that if it wasn't for this outbreak, you wouldn't made the first move to befriend her. This chaos had good things served for you and meeting her was one of it.

"What about you, (sn's y/n)? Do you like someone?" you asked her, wanting to know her more.

Your mind suddenly thought of your friend, Sunoo, when you asked that question. It may not be noticeable by others, but for you it was obvious how he looks after her. He always scanned the room for her and made sure she's all right. You know him very well and its not something he would do just for anyone, despite being nice and friendly. You knew something's going on.

"Umm..." she said glancing away, totally shy.

She looked adorable for you and the fact that she's blushing made you even more curious. You sat straightly, totally emerged over it.

"I promise to keep it between the two of us!" you tried to convince her.

She pursed her lips and nervously said that name you somehow expected. "Kim Sunoo."

You couldn't help a victory smile to spread across your face when she said his name. "That's crazy because I actually think he likes you too!" the words slipped from your mouth even before you can stop it.

She looked really flustered about it, "N-No! He's just really nice to everyone-"

You cut her words, "Trust me! Kim Sunoo do-" this time, it was your words that has been cut off.

"I what?" it was Sunoo.

When you glanced back at (sn's y/n), she seemed really surprised and flustered about it. You pursed your lips before letting out a chuckle, "Nothing!"

Even before you can say another word, you felt a warm hand holding yours to catch your attention. You saw how Ni-ki stood beside you, staring at you with serious eyes. You flashed him a smile, despite the racing of your heart.

"Hi!" you greets and intertwined your fingers with him. He carefully roamed his eyes around your face before smiling a little.

He leaned closer and placed a kiss at your forehead that caught you off-guard. "Damn, at least I have you despite of all these chaos." he mumbled that made you blush so crazy.

You were all resting when suddenly something happened that resulted for yet another arguments between the class. (sh's y/n) was accusing Sunghoon of being scratched by one of the infected students right after trying to save one of your classmates.

You heard Ni-ki lets out an unamused sigh. He seemed to be so done with her and just decided to keep his mouth shut. He walks closer to you after managing to help calming his friend down.

Both of your eyes met and just by looking at him, you already knew he had a lot of things he wanted to say.

"Don't even think of saying something about her." you tried to get ahead of him, defending poor (sh's y/n). You understand her bad behavior and foul attitude but you are well aware of how scared she is too. At some point, you felt yourself losing your mind a while ago after losing Ni-ki.

Ni-ki rolled his eyes before grabbing your hands to play with it and entertain himself. "I'm not even gonna say a word." he said.

You looked at him while he's so emerged over your hands, finding it confusing to what's so amusing about it. Instead of figuring it out, you glanced back at the commotion and saw how your teacher solved it.

Sunghoon went inside the recording room, isolating himself while (sh's y/n) agreed to tell him sorry once proven that he wasn't infected. You watch her stand alone by the corner while the judgmental eyes stared at her. You felt bad at her, but couldn't find the right word to say because you know she will just reject your comfort.

After an hour, it was time for her to go inside and say sorry. Ni-ki lets out another tired sigh before walking towards the water dispenser to get you some water. Your eyes kept watching how she walks inside and slowly approached Sunghoon whose facing his back at her.

"Drink some." your eyes moved towards the water he was giving you then to him.

"Thanks. How about you?" he watch how you carefully took a sip from the water he handed you.

"I already had some." he answered and even made sure you finished the whole cup before both of you looked back at the recording studio.

Ni-ki smirked as he watch how his hyung pulls her into a hug like as if she didn't just risked his life moments ago. "He's crazy for her. No doubt." he commented that caught your attention.

You pursed your lips. "Well that's love. It can make you do crazy things." you said that made him furrow his brows, now turning his whole body to face you.

"How'd you know? Are you in love, y/n?" his question took you by surprise that you even moved away from him a bit.

You blinked, feeling your heart racing like you just ran a marathon.

"W-What..." you couldn't construct a proper word.

The creased over his forehead deepened as he shift his weight to his other leg, eyes not leaving you.

"To whom?" he asked sounding impatient. He leaned closer and you can see his face clearly.

It made you so nervous. You planned to confess, but not this soon and definitely not this way. You rested both of your hands over his chest to stop him from leaning even closer.

“U-Uhm..” you cleared your throat feeling your cheeks burning up.

“Nevermind.” he spat and then started walking towards the direction of his friends. You pouted and your shoulder fell a bit.

It somehow made you sad how he just turned around, but you understand that maybe he just don’t want to push you on telling him. You sighed and watch him listen to what his hyung is saying. His brows were hardly furrowed.

‘Just wait a bit more, Ni-ki.’ you thought to yourself and then tried to divert your attention towards other things.

Later on, your teacher told everyone to call it a day and that all of you should get some rest. The boys talked on how to split the time on guarding the doors. You silently watch them discuss it seriously and realized how lucky you girls are to have them. They don’t even need to be told, they just volunteered on protecting everyone.

Ni-ki taps his Jay hyung’s should before walking towards your direction. You sat straight and smiled at him, “When are you going to guard the door?” you asked curiously.

He sighed and sat beside you, moving even closer like as if he ain’t close enough. He rest one of his arm over your knee, “Later. Why?”

“I will guard it with you!” you smiled to show him that you sincerely want to do it with him. He showed you a smile and chuckles.

“Nah, you just rest.” he said and smoothly took off his coat to wrap it over your shoulder since its getting a little chilly.

You pouted, “I want to accompany you tho.” he glanced back at your eyes after making sure you are feeling more warm using his coat. You held his arm and rested your head over his shoulder.

“Please?” you rarely do it, but you tried using your puppy eyes with him.

Ni-ki blushed at the sight right in front of him. You looked so adorable with your lips pouted and your doe eyes flashing at him. Not to mention how close your pretty face is to him. Just one move and he’s sure his lips will touch yours.

He gulped, feeling his heart beating rapidly at the thought. He shut his eyes for a bit, trying to get rid of it before just nodding his head at you. He heard how you cheered a bit before cuddling closer to him.

“Let's take a nap first.” you mumbled, sounding so tired and sleepy.

Ni-ki opened his eyes and looked at you comfortably leaning over his shoulder, cuddling the best way you can. He smirked then scoffed before gently pressing a kiss at the top of your head.

You didn’t even realized that you fell asleep. Maybe because you are so tired and due to hunger as well. You stirred from your sleep and slowly opened your eyes when you felt that Ni-ki was not beside you. Feeling a bit scared, you roamed your eyes around and found him by the door talking with one of your classmates.

When you check the clock, it was almost 4 am. It is his time to guard the door. You pouted, feeling bad that you didn’t accompany him.

“Why didn’t you wake me up?” you asked him the moment you’re beside him.

He glanced at you, “You were sleeping soundly.” he answered and smiled a little before one of his hand extended to reach for you. He guided you to sit at the space near him.

You glanced at the classmate he was talking to moments before your arrival. You flashed him a smile and waved a little, “Hi.” you mumbled.

His eyes grew a bit big and his cheeks reflected a light tint of pink. “H-Hello, y/n!” he greeted you that you only returned with a smile.

Ni-ki’s brows furrowed at the reaction that the guy just showed. It was obvious that he’s interested in you. Is that why he tries to talk to him a while ago? Is he trying to somehow get close to him? He clenched his jaw and possessively snaked his arm over your waist while eyeing the guy.

“Aren’t you sleepy?” you asked and even scooted closer to Ni-ki because he was pulling you towards him. You didn’t mind his action and thought of it as a normal behavior from him whenever he feels clingy with you.

“No.” Ni-ki and the guy both answered in the same time. He shoot glares at him that made him glance away nervously.

“She was asking me.” he spats towards him that made him lower his head down.

You furrowed your brows at what he said and hit his arm once. “Hey,” you tried catching his attention. He did turn his head to look at you.

“Don’t be rude.” you whispered and looked back to the guy.

“I’m sorry for his behavior. He’s just like this sometimes.” you tried apologizing in his behalf. Your classmate shake his hand telling you that it was totally fine.

“U-Uh I will just get some water.” the guy said and you gave him a nod. After he walks away, you stood up and stand right in front of Ni-ki.

He raised his head to look at you since he’s sitting down. You crossed your arms in front of him even though you saw how he seemed pissed.

“I can’t believe you’re so rude to him!”

He rolled his eyes, “So what.”

“What do you mean so what!” you spat, couldn’t believe him before tilt your head trying to catch his eyes.

“And here I thought you were already making friends a while ago.” you commented.

He glanced at you, “That’s before I knew he’s interested with you.” he uttered in a very upset tone.

Your eyes grew at what you heard. “Huh? How can you say he’s interested with me?” you sound so clueless and it makes him feel frustrated.

He groaned, “You’re always dense when it comes to guys who likes you.” he said lowly.

You scoffed at him, “Coming from you?” the sarcasm from your tone made him furrowed his brows in confusion.

“What do you mean by that?”

“You’re dense too when it comes to people who likes you.”

Ni-ki tilts his head, “No, I’m not.”

You smirked and rolled your eyes. “Whatever.” and then you opened your arms asking for a hug to console the sulking baby duck.

He stared at you for a while before letting out a sigh then pulling your arm for a hug. He caged you in a tight embrace then say, “I hate it when other guys tries to get your attention.”

You gulped and blush while still inside his embrace.

“I hate it when other girls does too.” you admitted that grew a small smirk over Ni-ki’s pretty lips.

The next day, they came up with a new plan and that is to try and get a mobile phone from the faculty room which is a floor beneath where you are currently in. You are silently listening to them talking and planning something. Well, the plan sounded so dangerous for you. It will surely take risks.

“Are you sure about this?” even your homeroom teacher thinks that this plan is very risky.

“Yes. We need to at least try.” Jungwon said determined to execute this one.

“Who will go?” one asked.

For some reasons, your heart beats faster. Jungwon raised his hand without hesitation and your body frozed when you saw from your peripheral that Ni-ki raised his too.

“I can go with hyung.” Ni-ki volunteered.

You furrowed your brows as your chest ache, “No! Don’t go, Ni-ki.” you couldn’t stop yourself from bursting out. Your grip over his uniform was tight, afraid to lose it even for a little.

Ni-ki faced you then slowly cupped your face. He flashed you this warm comforting smile. “Don’t worry, okay? I will be back. We need to get a phone in order to ask for help.” he assured you.

Despite his words, you could not agree with him. Your fear is having the best of you. Just by thinking of losing him out of your sight once again just makes you feel scared. You don’t want him to go there, not when you know its his life he’s risking.

You shake your head and started crying. He smiled a little, heart aching a bit seeing you this way. He hates to see you crying, but he knows he needs to do this. If he wants you safe, he needs to take action of asking help. At a situation like this, he won’t hesitate to risk his life if he will save yours in return.

He pulled you over his chest and kissed at your head, “Its going to be okay. Please don’t cry because it will make it harder for me to go and I don’t want to go out there with the memory of you crying.” he said and slowly you tried to calm yourself.

You know you can’t do anything to stop him. The only thing left was to support him and to pray for his safe return. After managing to calm down, you glance back up at him then pouted.

“You know sometimes I hate how fearless you are.” you said and stared right at his eyes.

He smiled, but you saw a glint of sadness flashes through his eyes. “How can I be fearless if I fear of losing you?” he fired back that caught you off-guard.

Tears once again continuously flows. “I fear that too! That’s why I don’t want you to go!”

He chuckles and leaned in to place a sweet kiss at your nose. “You won’t lose me.”

You sniffed and stared right at his eyes. It took moments before you finally calm down completely and accepts that he needs to go.

The class then all helped to gather things that can help Ni-ki and Jungwon for their mission. You seriously wrap some magazines over Ni-ki’s arms. Both of you are silent. You’re not mad at him for volunteering, you’re just very worried. Tears don’t stop streaming down your face while wrapping magazines over his arms.

After finishing, you heard him let out a heavy sigh before he pulls you over his chest for an embrace. That’s when you burst out crying again.

“Shh.” he comforts you.

“J-Just make sure you come back to me, please.” you mumbled.

Ni-ki placed his lips over your head and just enjoys your warmth. “I will.”

You slowly leaned away from his hug then you glance at him, “Let’s talk when you’re back. I w-will tell you something.”

Ni-ki furrowed his brows, but his eyes still looked soft. “Can’t you tell it to me now?”

You shook your head ‘no’ right away, “Later.”

“But you got me curious now.”

“Then you have to make it back for you to know.” you stared right at his eyes.

He silently did the same thing and in the end, he sighed and nodded his head. “I’ll be back soon.”

You stood there as you watch Ni-ki and Jungwon went out from those windows. The emotions you are feeling right now was unexplainable. Your head turned over to the side when you felt someone held your hand.

“He'll be back.” (sn’s y/n) assured you.

You flashed her a smile. “He better be.”

The whole time that Ni-ki was not yet back, you can’t breath properly. You paced back and fort. Everyone was silent too, praying that both of the two boys went back safely.

The moment your eyes saw Ni-ki climbing back up, the joy in you couldn’t be put into words. You ran towards him and quickly hugged him. Sadly, Jungwon didn’t came back with him. Ni-ki said they were caught by lot of biters and his hyung run towards the hallway then asked him to go back through the window.

You were caressing his back as he tries to explain, trying to comfort him. It was evident how he felt so bad leaving him behind. After he said what happened, his friends comforted him and told him that he was not at fault. You cupped his face and scanned ever inch of it.

“I told you, I’ll be back.” he said and you didn’t respond right away. Taking your time to stare at his face before leaning slowly to place a kiss at his cheeks.

“I’m glad you’re back.”

He was caught off-guard, you can tell base on how his eyes grew a bit big. Even before he can say anything, you moved away and walked towards (jw’s y/n) to give her a tight hug. You know how bad she’s feeling right now. She cries softly and returned your hug while you say comforting things for her.

Thankfully, later on, one of your classmates remembered that there’s this drone that can be used to scan the whole building. You can check where Jungwon is and also try to find a way to get out of the building if ever there’s any.

As you all anticipate for what the drone will find, you are hoping you’ll get to see where Jungwon is. Everyone was so emerged to small screen of your classmate’s phone. You even squint your eyes a bit whenever they scream altogether due to excitement or disappointment.

You couldn’t explain how the joy in your faces appeared after getting to see that Jungwon was totally fine. Jake was even with him at the music room. The relief over Ni-ki’s face can be seen. You knew how bad he must’ve felt when he left his hyung back there.

You slid your arms over his waist to catch his attention. He turned and smiled warmly before pulling you into a hug. “He’s safe, y/n!”

You lightly taps his back with a warm smile over your lips.

“I told you he’ll be all right.” and after that, your class didn’t waste anytime to plan your next move.

Someone came up of the plan to go over the music room since its closer to the rooftop. If the authorities will come to rescue you, it would probably from the air since the whole school are packed with biters. Its too risky to travel on land and the goverment is surely not dumb to risk that much.

While everyone is preparing themselves, you felt Ni-ki stood beside and held your arm. You slowly trailed your eyes from his hand that holding you, towards him.

“Stay close to me all the time.” he reminded for the nth time. You chuckled. “I told you I will.”

He rolled his eyes, “I’m serious, Y/n. I can’t protect you well if you’ll be far from me.”

You nodded, “Please look out for yourself as well.”

He stared at your eyes and gulped. The thought of confessing to you occured to him numerous times already, but he knew its not the right time to suddenly blurt it out.

After managing to lure the biters over to the other side, all of you moved carefully towards the music room. Ni-ki was in front of you, his one hand holding yours to make sure he ain’t losing you incase something happens.

It was going smoothly until one of your hit the metal railings of the stairs causing a loud sound to errupt. It caught the attention of many biters that quickly dashed towards your direction. All of you shrieked in fear and started running towards the direction of the music room.

You got pushed and all, but Ni-ki always manage to pull you back to your feet. Tears were over your eyes unable to even see clearly.

“Go to the music room, quick!” Ni-ki shouted and even gave you a light push before fighting those biters that comes after your group.

You were about to do as you told when you saw that (sn’s y/n) was stuck. You didn’t waste any time to help her. The look on her eyes when she saw you was both relief and fear. She doesn’t want you to stay back and help her. She wants you to save yourself, but you disagree. You won’t leave her behind. Nobody deserves to be left behind and besides, she’s your friend.

Thankfully, just in time the boys came to the rescue. You got her out, but due to the number of infected students running your way, it all got chaotic and you got separated from some of them.

Ni-ki pulled you towards the music room where most of your classmates went to. You are still catching your breath when he slowly pulled you into a hug, placing soft kisses at your forehead while eyes tightly shut.

“Did you see Sunoo and (sn’s y/n)?” you asked worriedly.

Ni-ki was still huffing heavily when he pulls away to cup your face, “Yes, they went up the rooftop.”

That made you relieved. At least they made it there already. Ni-ki made you sit down to rest and gather more energy. You can breath for a while because later you will go out once again to head over the building’s rooftop.

As you roam your eyes around, you can see how they’re all exhausted. If you come to think of it, you were all just normal students yesterday. Goofing, studying and spending your normal day in your school. Who would expect any of this will happen?

Your head snaps over to the side when you felt a warm hand holding your hand. It was Ni-ki.

“Hey, you good? Are you hurt?” he asked worriedly. He did saw you fell over the floor countless times.

You pouted, “I’m j-just sad...” you sighed, trying to push back the tears that once again trying to come out your eyes. “..we lost a lot.”

He sighed and pulled you so you can lean over his shoulder. He caress your back gently and rest his head at your head. “I’m so scared, Ni-ki. We don’t know what will happen next.”

“All I know is that I will always do my best to protect you.” he muttered assuring and comforting you.

One of his hand kept his hold to your hand, playing with your fingers like how he used to. His other hand was caressing your back gently.

“Thank you so much.” you mumbled and slowly moved a little so you can look at him in the eyes.

Ni-ki stared straight to your eyes as well. You two stared at each other with no words being uttered, your hearts beating in sync without being known by any of you. Ni-ki gulped, he had seen you up-close a lot of times already, but this moment seem to be a different one. Maybe due to all the things both of you went through, it all got mixed up altogether causing this unknown feeling to emerge.

You let out a sigh and slowly leaned closer placing a kiss at his cheeks. It caught him off-guard and speechless. With blushing cheeks you leaned back and acted like nothing just happened. Ni-ki was in cloud nine. That was the first time you did that and its making him crazy.

He pulled himself back together then snuggled closer if its even possible before dropping a kiss at your head and then leaned his head at yours.

“Are you sure you have the phone in that locker?” one of your classmates asked (jw’s y/n) when she suddenly remembered about the phone she said that was in their locker.

You gulped and got nervous that now that they’re planning to go and get that phone to use calling the authorities, Ni-ki might volunteer once again.

You held over his arm that made him face you, “Please don’t volunteer.” you whispered.

Yes, it may sound a little selfish. But you want to make sure he’ll stay safe too. He gave you a small smile then intertwined your hands.

“I won’t. I don’t want you to go to the rooftop without me. I want to be there to protect you.” it somehow made you relieved.

Jungwon and Sunghoon ended up going to get the phone. Your eyes followed Sunghoon silently as he walked towards to the now worried looking (sh’s y/n). You can’t blame her to look like that. You know how bad it feels to watch someone important risk their life for the group. Even if it can benefit everyone and even if you trust them, you can’t take away the fear of losing them.

Soon, you did the plan and stacked chairs that can serve as barrier at the half part of the music room. You plan to gather them all up over to that side of the room so it can clear your way over to the rooftop.

“Now!” Ni-ki tugged you towards the rooftop.

There still a few biters you encountered on your way, but the plan surely helped a lot. You yelped when you’re being pushed by some of your classmates due to panic. Ni-ki cursed and held your waist to pull you out of there. He placed you near the stairs to the rooftop, “Go on! Knock, Sunoo hyung is there. I’ll follow up.”

You’re a little hesitant to leave him while all of this are happening but he gave you an assuring smile, “I’ll follow you, baby. Don’t worry.”

“I'll see you there.” you then run towards the rooftop and was met with Sunoo who came out to help the others.

He gladly greeted you and asked you to go inside. (sn’s y/n) was there waiting so you rushed to her to give her a big hug. You are really glad to see her again.

Your head turned over to the door when they came inside. Ni-ki’s eyes quickly searched for you and you run towards him to greet him. He caged you over his embrace.

You thought it was all going according to plan, not until you realized that (sh’s y/n) was left back there. The worst part is two of your own classmates planned to do it. It was too cruel for you since they can even think of doing such things despite of being in this situation. Evil truly don’t choose any time.

Soon, Jungwon and Sunghoon arrived. As expected he was at rage knowing about what happened. Ni-ki cursed and lets go from your hold when he saw his hyung going back to to go get (sh’s y/n). You watch silently. He didn’t stop him and just cursed again.

“If something bad happened to Sunghoon hyung, its all your fault.” he told (random name) and you walked towards him to hold his arm.

Everyone fell silent after it and you sat down over the corner while you wait for help to come. Jungwon managed to make a call and you’re hoping help will arrive in no time.

You were leaning over Ni-ki, enjoying the warmth he was giving while snuggling close to you.

“I just remembered,” he suddenly broke the silence between the two of you.

“What?” you asked.

“Before I left the audio-visual room, you told me you will tell me something.”

Your eyes grew a bit after remembering it as well. Heart instantly racing, you got caught off-guard. You’re suddenly having second thoughts on confessing. You were spacing out a bit, but at the end you decided to give it a go. All of these happened already. Being rejected should be the least of your concern. And you and Ni-ki had bee through a lot due to this outbreak, right? There’s no way he will cut you off that easily.

You sighed and slowly pulled away from him. With heart racing, you faced him making sure you can see his eyes. Ni-ki’s heart were racing for unknown reason as well. He have a lot in mind. What could it be that you want to tell him? Whatever it is, he made up his mind that he will confess right after you say it.

“I’m in love with you.”

Ni-ki was beyond surprise. He was speechless. The sentences he was forming inside his mind for confessing suddenly dissipated. He couldn’t explain his own feelings.

You blinked and got nervous right away. You pursed your lips, “It’s o-okay if you don’t feel the same way! I understand—” your words were cut off when his lips were not over yours.

Your eyes grew and you’re stoned at your position. When he tilt his head to give you a deeper kiss, you snapped back to reality and managed to return his kiss for a few seconds before he leaned away.

“I’m in love with you as well, dummy.”

You blushed hard despite of his annoying nickname. He smirked and was about to lean in for another kiss, but you stopped him using a hand over his chest.

“What? F-For how long?” you asked curious.

Ni-ki rolles his eyes, “From the time you cried over that stupid kite.”

Your mouth fell, “That was fifth grade!” you couldn’t believe what you just learned.

He chuckled and cupped your face so he can give you kisses over your cheeks and chin. “Yes. I was pretty damn crazy ever since.”

You pouted, blushing hard. “And all along I thought you’re not interested in me.”

“All along I thought you like Sunoo hyung.”

That was another shock for you. “What?! Is that why you are rude to him sometimes?”

He glanced away, guilty. You smirked and tried to catch his eyes. “I can’t believe you got jealous with your own friend.”

He furrowed his brows and looked at you, “How can I not? You are so touchy with him!”

“It's because he’s my friend!”

“Tsk.” he clicked his tongue before pulling you into a tight hug, “From now on, you have to distance yourself from him.”

You chuckled nuzzling over his chest, “All right. Only because you’re cute.”

“I love you, Ni-ki.” you said while leaning over his chest. You can hear his heartbeat. It was beating for you.

“I love you more, y/n.” he mumbled and placed a kiss at the top of your head. And just in time, you heard the sound of a helicopter from a far.

Tell Your Baby, That I’m Your Baby.

(Billy Knight x Fem!Reader)

Based on the song:

I Bet On Losing Dogs - Mitski

——————————————————

‼️Warnings‼️: use of y/n, slight angst which turns to comfort, Billy have a breakdown, etc. (if I forgot anything please tell me!)

——————————————————

It had happened again.

Billy had another episode, and you weren't around when he had it.

You had been trying to take care of Billy, ever since his previous actions you have tried to be there for him but it's been pretty hard when since he was one to distance himself from what seemed like everyone except for his brother Jimmy.

Right now you we're searching the streets in a panic after coming back to an empty apartment and the shattered glass of a random cup in the middle of the apartment, knowing he definitely dropped it when he started having his little episode.

As well as the news playing on the tv, it probably being the reason it triggered the episode for Billy.

You looked everywhere you think he would be.

Finally, you got to the last place you could check- the small apartment Jimmy would hide him in.

You thought the first place he would go to was his brother since you weren't with him.

You managed to break through the door of the apartment, seeing it looking 'empty' but you knew it wasn't.

"Billy! Billy!! It's y/n!" You called out as you started desperately running around, searching random rooms.

Finally, you got to this one room and tried to swing it open, only seeing it was locked.

You could hear the small whimper of somebody inside the room, knowing it was Billy.

"Billy sweetheart.. it's y/n let me in please.." you whispered through the door as you tried to shake the doorknob.

You heard more whimpering and shuffling in the room before finally, Billy said something.

"Go away please.." he whimpered out as you could hear him hiding himself, probably curled up in the corner.

"Alright Billy, you left me no choice-" you said before finally you managed to kick a hole through the door, digging through it before finally crawling through.

You wiped off any debris from the door off of your outfit before your eyes glanced around, finally landing on Billy who was curled up on the bed in the corner of the room, his brown doe eyes watery and looking at you.

"There you are, I was looking all over for you. Come on let's head-" you started to stay as you took a step forward before getting cut off, Billy tossing his arms in front of him to block you.

"Don't come near me!- please.." he called out, a tear falling down his cheek as you stared at him, slightly in shock since he's never really yelled at you, or turned you away during one of his episodes.

"Billy, baby... I'm here to help you.." you whispered as you slowly started moving towards him, your hands up slightly as you crouched down to his level.

His hands slowly moved down as he stared at you, a soft scared look in his eyes.

"Tell me what happened... please?.." you whispered as he gave a small sniffle and violently rubbed his nose with the back of his hand, a thing he did whenever he felt upset or nervous about something.

"I-I don't know!- I don't know.. what happened..." Billy said as he rubbed his nose harshly once again, his body slightly shaking while he brought his gaze down.

You decided to gently and slowly take his hand in yours, hoping that would help him focus on telling you what happened

. "I-I.. I saw something.. on the telly- about a girl.. she was missing, and- and I-I... I guess, it made me remember-" he said before cutting himself off with a small whimper as you let out a small sigh and gave a sympathetic look.

"Baby.. it's okay you don't have to say anymore-" you whispered before he nodded and you just pulled him into your arms, causing him to cling onto you while sobbing into your shoulder.

"Did you take your meds today?.." you whispered and Billy hesitated for a second before lightly shaking his head, his face still against the crook of your neck.

"I-I forgot.. I'm sorry-" he muttered quietly before you cut him off with a small kiss on the side of his head.

"it's alright- don't be sorry.. just please, remember next time.. I don't want this happening again.." you whispered as he quickly nodded his head in response.

You both just sat there for a while, holding each other in each other's arms before finally you managed to get him up and bring him back to the apartment, deciding to just try and relax for the rest of the day with him.

I played crutchie in newsies, here are some of the things that happened

- the refuge was constantly referred to as "little boy jail." "I wish you were in king of new york" "can't, little boy jail." "yeah when i got rolled onstage for letter from the refuge-" "HAHA, LITTLE BOY JAIL!"

- an ensemble member came up with the hypothetical question "if you were starving and had no food, would you eat crutchie's leg?" he then proceeded to ask every single cast member this question. I now know which newsies would eat crutchie's leg and could provide a list if asked. jack kelly would he told me HIMSELF.

- someone accidentally called me crunchy instead of crutchie. various variations of that nickname ensued, my personal favorite being "cankle"

- somebody put me on the spot and asked me to name my crutch. I panicked and said pickles.

- jack kelly himself greeted me every rehearsal by pointing at me and saying "bum leg." what a wonderful friend.

- the theatre we performed at had a covered area outside that could be accessed from backstage. this area had a sign over the door that said "area of refuge." three different people asked me to pose under it and took a picture of me.

- our director had us practice the prologue together with her to guide us exactly two times, the first was in a practice room the size of a closet (i knocked a framed photo off the wall and my director and i blamed our jack immediately) and the second was in the theatre bathroom like ten minutes before the opening show (jack had to hold a mini piano so our director could play the notes for us. he looked very silly.)

- we had a medda wig that we didn't end up using. it was blonde and very long and jack put it on after the closing show. i begged him to sing hopelessly devoted to you. he didn't. :(

- Jack Kelly got sick the day before the show. It set off a chain reaction of understudies. our directors pumped so many concoctions and vitamins into him. he looked deathly ill and was sitting in the corner breathing through this crazy miracle cure device that looked So Scary but he magically got better it was beautiful.

- we aren't cowards like disney so when crutchie returns from the refuge jack and crutchie have a Big Hug and like five minutes before the closing show our director came up to me and was like “yeah i was thinking we should probably cut that, i don't know why they would hug like that, its almost a little weird.” and i was like “oh no i play crutchie like he’s gay don’t i” (I did and it was a little bit on purpose) so i thought that she told our jack too, but she didn't. i was fully prepared to give him a fistbump and he almost knocked me over with the hug.

- "care to let this young man’s artististry shine a light into your closed doors?” -our pulitzer three times

- stress dreams. everyone had them. in mine i forgot to climb onto the scaffolding during the overture AND i forgot to bring my crutch onstage. our director had a stress dream that our jack showed up really late to rehearsal in a three piece suit.

- sprace was canon. that's it. they called each other stage boyfriend offstage.

- entire cast swayed our arms back and forth during something to believe in. sometimes we turned on our phone lights like it was a concert.

- one time our davey lost his voice and wasn't singing during rehearsal so his understudy, who also plays race, was running back and forth between doing a weird voiceover over davey’s shoulder for all his singing parts and doing all his race parts. he was darting across the stage for the entirety of seize the day it was great.

- "And all the newsies run up the stairs, across the scaffolding, and down the other set of stairs and offstage.” “Ms Sarah I only have one working leg.”

- up until tech week we didn't have our newsies banner newspapers for once and for all, so during rehearsals for that number we got out the giant bin of stuffed animals. the number just was so much more beautiful when it was performed by a bunch of angry looking teenagers holding small stuffed animals. like ten of them were frogs (or supposed to be frogs. vaguely frog shaped.)

#newsies #livesies #crutchie #crutchie morris #newsies musical #sprace #jackcrutchie #this was a life changing show #i got to keep my crutch #the entire cast signed it #its my most prized possession #lmk if you want the list of who would eat crutchies leg

Any Fan's Dream, Part 20

Taglist: @secretly-sirens, @zeeader, @imdoingathingmom, @x-theolivia, @ainsley-official, @huntress-artemiss, @hoohoohope, @ourgoddessathena, @wiintaersoldier, @vine-enthusiast, @afraidofshrimp, @myfturn, @im-better-than-your-newborn, , @mjaudrey, @igotthisasajokeyetimstillhere, @starr60, @coldmermaidhologram, @daenerysluvrr, @viperchick47, @marvelwomen-arehot, @mynightandstars

So, recently this fic hasn't had much interaction, and I'm not sure why. One of you told me that it can be buggy and hard to reach, so I'm sorry abt that but if you ever wonder abt updates, I'm gonna start up dating every saturday. Just go to my masterlist, then to the afd masterlist and to the new chapter. Hopefully you're all able to find it now.

Any Fan's Dream Masterlist

Synopsis:

When you look around and see Avengers Tower in front of you and Peter Parker beside you, you wonder how the hell you managed to get into the MCU.

The quinjet landed, the atmosphere inside sobering up.

Everyone was checking their gear, ensuring they had everything they needed before they went into the bunker.

"Is there anything else we should expect inside?" Steve asked you.

You shook your head, but stopped, remembering something. "Actually- he isn't planning on using the Winter Soldiers inside, he's going to kill them. Shit, I can't believe I forgot to tell you."

"Is there anything else?"

You racked your brain. "Well, he plans to lock you in the room and force you to watch the video of the Starks and Sergeant Barnes, but that's easy enough to avoid if you aren't all in one place."

"Okay." Steve nodded. "Thank you." He turned to the rest of the individuals gathered. "We'll be going in in two groups. 3 and 4."

"There's eight of us, though." Wanda pointed out. "Is somebody staying here?"

Your stomach dropped.

He better not do what you thought he was going to.

"(y/n) hasn't had enough training for this," Steve stated. He looked at you. "I can't let you go out there. You just had a concussion and you don't have your Iron-Man suit. It isn't safe."

You had to take a moment to reign in your frustration. "It isn't safe for anybody out there. I should be able to go. Plus, I know what he's planning. None of you are tech people, I can help you." Your argument was all over the place, but your points were still valid.

Unfortunately, Steve had more valid points.

He pulled you aside and spoke to you quietly. "You had less than a month of physical training, you were recently injured, you don't have any sort of equipment or protection, and this man wants to tear the Avengers apart. What do you think would happen if you got killed here?"

"My death wouldn't tear the Avengers apart." You almost scoffed, hating the fact that he had a point in terms of your combat prowess. "I'll stay close to you. I won't engage in fighting. But you have to let me help."

Steve thought about it, eventually coming to the conclusion that with a whole team of them against the one guy, you would probably be safer with them than outside in the quinjet by yourself.

"Fine." Steve conceded. "But you absolutely can't engage. When we start fighting, you get away, okay?"

You mulled it over. "Alright."

"Okay, new plan." Steve spoke up, catching the attention of the rest of the people. "Two groups of four. Wanda, Scott, Clint, and Sam, you're a group. Thor, Bucky, (y/n) and I will be a group. The goal of this is to make sure the team stays together. Make sure nobody gets hurt." Everyone could tell who in particular he was worried about getting hurt. "If you find Zemo, call it in."

You looked at the different hallways, unsure of which way led where.

In the movies they never really focused much on this so you couldn't say you knew which way to go, but who could blame you? You never expected to somehow end up in the MCU so it wasn't like you had studied for it. You just had your memory to go off of, and as good as your memory was in remembering Marvel stuff, you hadn't managed to memorize every moment of every Marvel movie.

You just hoped that you had given them enough time to arrive before Zemo wound up killing all the other Winter Soldiers. After all, they were people like Bucky who had been brainwashed and tortured for decades, they didn't deserve the treatment they'd been subjected to.

But now, there you were, unsure of which hallway to go down and simply following Bucky and Steve, Thor standing beside you while the two of you followed.

You weren't stupid. You knew why Steve had told you to stay with Thor. Thor was strong enough to protect you rather easily if need be and Steve himself was too occupied to look out for you. You just wished you'd been able to have more training before this, at least then you would be able to pull your own weight in terms of self-defense. Instead, you were just brought along because the rest of the people there weren't exactly geniuses with technology.

Especially with the people in your group.

Steve and Bucky weren't exactly caught up on current events, better yet, the technology. Thor wasn't even from Earth and was hopeless with tech.

You were tense, knowing that this was probably one of the most serious moments of your life. You felt doubt start to wiggle its way into your mind, but you pushed that wriggly worm down, instead focusing on how you had just compared doubt to a worm and wondering if your mind was just fucking weird.

You refocused on the situation at hand, scolding yourself internally because this situation really didn't need you zoning out and getting lost in your mind. That was fine late at night when you were trying to fall asleep, but it could present a bit of a problem if fighting started and you were stuck thinking about doubt as a worm. Well, a wriggly worm to be specific, but-

No. Focus, (y/n).

You took a deep breath, looking around the rather ominous hallways the four of you kept turning down, wrinkling your nose at the smell. It was musty and dusty and you were worried you'd end up sneezing and give away where you were. That wouldn't be ideal.

Steve and Bucky climbed up a couple steps, you and Thor following right behind them.

In the movie, Bucky had led Steve and Tony to the large room that held the Winter Soldiers, so you assumed that was what was going to happen now. But you were concerned. In the movie Zemo had made a trap for them. With the plot changed, you didn't know if you had arrived early enough to stop Zemo before his trap was set and the Winter Soldiers were killed.

You arrived in the room and there they were.

It was dark, so dark that if the containers the people were kept in didn't have their own light, you would be blind to your surroundings. You took in a sharp breath, looking at the people sitting in those strange cells. You wanted nothing more than to run up to each of those cells and inspect the glass, ensure that there weren't any bullet holes and the people behind the glass weren't murdered in their inhumane confines.

But you knew you couldn't do that. That would be stupid. So you stayed behind Steve, looking at the cages and trying to discern if someone had indeed shot through them. Unfortunately, the lighting as bad as it was, you were going to have to get closer to actually tell.

As you moved closer, you felt your anticipation grow. From what you could see, none of the cells had any holes in them.

You almost gasped, but restrained yourself. Unless you were missing something or your eyes weren't reliable, none of the Winter Soldiers had been killed. Sure, they all looked dead because of whatever cryo-freeze thing that Hydra put them in, but none of them had the execution style shot in their head.

Zemo hadn't yet shot them.

You'd arrived before he could do so.

It wasn't a great time to do so, but you almost smiled. After all, that meant you had managed to change the plot enough that Steve and Bucky were able to arrive before Zemo could set up his plan. It also meant that these six lives hadn't been lost.

You were already thinking about if you could convince T'Challa to take them back to Wakanda and get them the treatment Bucky was able to get there. With that, maybe those people would be able to escape Hydra's influence and finally be able to live for themselves.

"I was going to get rid of them before you arrived, but I suppose I can do that later." Helmut Zemo's voice crackled over the old intercom.

Steve and Bucky instantly went tense and battle-ready. Thor moved closer to you, ready to shield you from whatever was going to happen.

"Unfortunately," Zemo continued, "I didn't expect your arrival so soon. But as I said before, I can deal with that later."

"You killed innocent people to bring us here," Steve's voice held an undercurrent of anger you'd never heard in person before. "Why?"

"An unfortunate necessity," Zemo conceded, "I do apologize to you for any injuries you might've retained, (y/n)(l/n). The bombing was important to the plan, although the deaths are regrettable."

You almost said 'No problem' out of habit but managed to stop yourself from doing so because it was just a bit of a problem.

"Don't speak to her," Steve ordered. "You caused so much pain. For what?"

"I thought about nothing else for over a year. I studied you. I followed you."

You knew why Zemo had done what he did, and while it was tragic, it didn't excuse bombing a building.

"Again, my apologies, (y/n)(l/n). I never wanted to hurt any children."

You almost felt insulted by that but then realized it was probably best to just ignore the statement. There were, after all, more important things to worry about. Besides, you felt uneasy. Sure, you knew things were much better than in the movie but you had the horrible sense that something was going to go horrendously wrong.

Your eyes swept the room, roving over the six empty glowing cells, the corners hidden by shadows, the-

Wait a fucking minute-

Empty cells?

Oh, fuck.

"Guys, the cell things are empty," you alerted the people with you.

Fuckfuckfuckfuck where were they?

You flinched when the lights in the cells went out, darkness crashing down like a tidal wave, ready to pull you beneath and leave you never to be seen again.

"As I said before," Zemo's voice came over the intercom again, "I did not expect you all so soon. And unfortunately, the Iron-Man isn't here, which messes up another plan of mine. You really have thwarted a couple of my plans and it is quite annoying; but as you Americans say, 'the show must go on'."

"I know he said he was going to kill them, but I think he decided to give them one last go before he did." You tried to control your voice as you spoke, but it was rising as you got more nervous. You looked around uselessly, the darkness too thick for you to see anybody or anything. You felt the little hairs on the back of your neck stand up, every muscle in your body tensing as your nerves rose.

You reached out, knowing Thor was right beside you only a couple feet from you when the lights went out. "Thor, are you there?"

"I am right here, Lady (y/n)." You felt relief wash over you when you heard his voice. "Do not move, Lady (y/n), let me find you."

"Okay." Even with the comfort Thor brought you, every moment of silence in that pitch-black room made you more and more uneasy.

You felt a hand reach out and grab your arm, almost giving you a heart attack.

"Lady (y/n), is that you?"

"Ye-"

Your words were cut off, a hand covering your mouth while another one wrapped around your waist and pulled you backward. You tried to scream, but the hand over your mouth only muffled the noise. Remembering the training Natasha had taught you, you desperately tried to get out of the assaulter's grasp but to no avail. Your movements were too slow, too amateur to work on an assassin trained for decades.

"Lady (y/n), where did you go?" Thor's voice held uncharacteristic urgency. "Lady (y/n)?"

"(y/n)!" Now Steve's voice was breaking through the silence, the cry of your name reaching your ears and while you wanted nothing more than to respond, you were left to try to scream, again only muffled noises.

"I think I heard her," Bucky's voice popped up. "(y/n), try to make as much noise as possible."

You screamed, the noise still muffled but louder than before. The person holding you wrapped an arm around your throat, applying pressure slowly. You tried to claw at their arm, use your legs to knock them off balance, but nothing worked. They were too strong, stance too sturdy, and far too well trained for your efforts to do much more than annoy them.

You clawed desperately at the arm as the person but more and more pressure on your throat. Although the arm was only choking you for mere seconds, it felt never-ending. Something was happening to you, your airway being closed off, you felt like you were...you couldn't- you couldn't....breathe...

The lights in the cells turned back on, leaving Steve, Thor, and Bucky looking for you anxiously. Unfortunately, they weren't left with much time to search for you when six people came out of the shadows and decided to attack.

"WHERE IS LADY (Y/N)?" Thor thundered, voice rough thunder is loud.

Steve was focused, desperately trying to keep the two assassins back but too distracted by looking for you to focus. He had let you come along with them, he had allowed this to happen. If you were dead....

No, you couldn't be dead.

"YOU WILL NOT TELL ME WHERE SHE IS? FINE, I HAVE NO NEED FOR YOU THEN." Slamming his hammer on the floor, Thor sent out shocks of electricity at the two people trying to attack him, knocking them unconscious. In quick succession, he managed to render the rest of the assassins unconscious as well.

No longer occupied by trying to defend himself, Steve searched the room for you; Bucky and Thor followed his lead.

They looked up as footsteps approached, running footsteps.

Instantly on guard again, they all tensed, ready to fight the newcomers.

Wanda emerged, Scott behind her. A few moments later, Clint and Same came in, escorting a bound Helmut Zemo with them.

Footsteps loud against the stone floor, Steve stormed over to the incapacitated man. "Where is she." His words a demand for answers, not a question.

"I told you I did not want the death of a child on my mind." Was all Zemo said.

Wanda tilted her head. "He ordered one of the Winter Soldiers to knock her unconscious before the fighting began." She had read his mind, desperate to find out where her friend was.

Weak coughing was heard from one of the shadowy corners. "I...I'm over here."

My First Impressions of NCT Before I Became an NCTzen (Part 1: '94-96' Liners)

Taeil: For some reason I thought he was the leader. I didn't think he was the oldest, probably thought he was in the middle. I thought he was very serious, definitely thought he was a vocalist. You know what...He definitely gave me Jongho from Ateez vibes without the cuteness. Could definitely knock a bitch out for some reason. He definitely gave off that vibe. Something just told me he could.

Johnny: I did NOT think he was the second oldest member of the group. Hell, I didn't even think he was in the hyung line...He gave me major goofy vibes, very sexy though. Idk he just has a super goofy look. Before I got into NCT, I knew of him but I couldn't tell you what I thought his role in the group was.

Taeyong: I had no idea why his face was everywhere. At the time, I didn't even know there was a center role in K-Pop groups (or in any group) so I was just like damn...SM got a favorite! Rightfully so because I thought he was so cute and unique looking. In terms of the vibes that he gave off...I couldn't tell you what they were. He was so hard to read, I remember just thinking he was cool as fuck. Hear me out...Remember when Justin Bieber went through that Bizzle phase? That's what he reminds me of. Not the lightskin delinquent part, but rather the swagger and the fact that mf was EVERY. WHERE. Unreadable but was fine as hell, the hot topic, in every hit song, and a lot of tattoos. But Taeyong style. With a unique sense of fashion. I didn't think he was the leader.

Yuta: Super quiet yet sexy. I didn't think there would be much to him in terms of humor for some reason (I was proven wrong as HELL). Tell me why I thought this mf was a rapper? He doesn't have that niggaboo shit going on so I'm not sure why I thought that? I guess because he just gave off a certain edgy vibe, I thought SM would assign him as a rapper? I'm not sure tbh. I'm glad he wasn't chosen as a rapper, though, because he has a gorgeous voice like wtf...Also this is so funny but he gave me the impression that he wouldn't hurt a fly. Like, as in he would never fight someone but...LMFAO we know damn well he would beat the dog shit out of somebody.

Kun: I first saw Kun in one of those little skit thingies where he was with Jeno,Jaemin, Haechan, Renjun and I forgot who else, and they had to find out who killed somebody. You know what I'm talking about? Kun's role in that was a police officer (or security guard) and he looked FINE AS SHIT. He had long hair at that time. Anyway, I thought he was so damn sexy and smart. He gave off major serious, don't fuck with me, vibes. Like if he was my coworker, we would only speak from 9am-5pm. Not before or after. He didn't strike me as the kind of person that would go up to a coworker in public and say hi to them, but would politely smile if the coworker noticed him first and greeted him. Would hate California, but would prefer New York. IDK that's the vibe I had gotten from him.

Doyoung: I thought he was a nerd. I would have guessed he was a vocalist 100%. Definitely gave me the vibes of someone that sang in his church's choir when he was growing up. He definitely took it very seriously and was a snitch. He gave me the impression that he was sweet. Idk he just has the face of someone that is a major sweetheart. Very adorable cheeks.

Ten: Ten is an interesting individual because he was the member I saw the most aside from Taeyong. I remember thinking he took dancing very seriously and wasn't here for the nonsense. He seemed very likable but to himself. Like the type of person that everyone in school knows, but he only knows the people he associates with. I couldn't tell you if he was a singer or rapper in the group, but obviously I knew he was a dancer. I think there was a time I assumed he was the leader. I remember being surprised that he's younger than Johnny.

— COLD BREW

order #3 of the coffee shop series: a cold brew

ingredients. barista!changbin x y/n. strangers to crushes. hurt/comfort. angst and fluff. protective!changbin.

size. 2k

allergies. contains: angst. heartbreak.

special add ons. changbin’s aura intimidated some customers, he couldn’t help it. but when you had come in with teary eyes for the second time in a row, changbin had to do something about it.

“hey felix,” changbin hoped that his voice didn’t come out as shaky as it felt, “what do you do when a customer is sad?”

the freckled boy’s lips brows furrowed, “i don’t know. what’s the context?”

“the other day, a sort of regular customer seemed… sad. but she just asked for a cold brew and left.”

“did you try and talk to her? smile at her? compliment her?”

“no, i guess i forgot to.”

“you probably scared her,” seungmin pointed out, shaking a jar filled with ice and coffee, “you’ve been working out more recently, do you realize how scary you look?”

changbin fell silent for a moment. when he thought about it— perhaps seungmin was right.

he never wore the same fluffy cardigans as felix and jeongin or had the charm chan and hyunjin had.

his tight black shirts never seemed too scary, and neither did his intense resting face. in his mind, he was happy and at least somewhat approachable.

“just something to think about.”

seungmin meant no harm by his words, but changbin couldn’t help feeling a little more insecure throughout the day.

each time he’d pass by a mirror, he’d find that his smile wasn’t there, even when he thought it was. he was hyper-aware of when a customer avoided eye contact, or when he forgot to greet somebody at the door.

and soon, the afternoon had faded into evening, and once jisung walked through the door to replace him, changbin was off.

he was counting down the minutes until jisung’s usual arrival, wanting nothing more than to go home and take out all of his stress on the dumbbells.

it was obvious that he didn’t exactly want to be there— but then again, changbin was sure that he never looked like he wanted to be there.

“changbin, are you alright?” chan pulled him aside eventually, resting his hand on his shoulder, “you don’t seem like yourself.”

“there’s just a lot on my mind,” he shrugged, “it hasn’t been the best day, seungmin said something that really got to me.”

“you should take off early, yeah? we can handle it and you can text me about it later. go home and take it easy.”

“i guess that would be a good idea,” changbin forced a smile, turning his head out of habit at the customer walking in.

“welcome in!” everyone sang out.

he abruptly stood up, his eyes widened slightly. it was her. that was the girl.

“i can take her order changbin, you should leave.”

“no, i want to take her order.”

as he appeared at the counter, he realized that she had a tear-stained face, eyes puffy with red lips— why had she come in here crying once again?

‘did you try and talk to her? smile at her? compliment her?’ changbin recalled felix’s words, searching his brain for something to say.

“good evening,” he smiled kindly, or at least he thought he did, “i like your hoodie.”

“thanks,” your voice shook, doing an awfully bad job of hiding your sadness, “could i just have a cold brew?”

he tapped his computer screen, placing your order. “is that all for you?”

you paused for a moment. “yeah.”

changbin’s stomach churned hearing the pain in your voice, unable to do anything to solve it just as he had done last time.

would he just let you walk away again? he would feel even more terrible if he let that happen.

without thinking, he tapped a few more buttons, “it’ll be free today. and i added a brownie— felix makes really good brownies. would you like that warmed up?”

he caught himself, “or i could get you another treat if you don’t like brownies.”

you stared at him for a moment as if you were a deer caught in headlights.

did he mess up? did you just want a cold brew? what if he made it all worse?

his worries seemed to be confirmed as tears spilled from your eyes, guilt eating up at him.

changbin wanted to run and hide. he should’ve let chan take your order— he must’ve been too scary for you to handle.

he began to chew his bottom lip, staring down at the screen for a moment as he thought of what to say.

turning, he decided it would be best to let chan take over and get you what you needed.

“a warm brownie would be so wonderful. thank you so much.” you smiled at him.

changbin’s shoulders relaxed, feeling stupid for getting so worked up over this.

“of course.”

you left to take a seat, and since nobody else was at the counter, changbin decided to personally serve you. it was the least that he could do.

“jisung!” he heard everyone yell out as the door opened, turning to see the boy waving at his coworkers and a couple of regulars.

“what’s going on tonight?” the room was suddenly full of his energy, and changbin couldn’t help but feel a little better, putting the brownie into the mini oven.

“changbin’s getting off about now and hyunjin is staying a little later tonight to finish a new piece for above the booth,” chan shrugged.

“at least hyunjin doesn’t mind loud music” jisung grinned, clocking into the system.

“not tonight. i’m also staying late, preparing for the holiday drinks.”

“changbin, take him home with you!”

“i would if he’d let me,” he placed the brownie on a dish, topping it with a good amount of whipped cream, “but the dude never stops working.”

“just because he’s old and can’t have fun doesn’t mean we have to do the same thing.”

changbin left the boys to fight in favor of bringing you the brownie and cold brew.

“they’re pretty loud, aren’t they?”

“it’s fun to watch.”

he hesitated for a moment after he sat your plate down. was he supposed to walk away now? was what he did for you enough? he didn’t feel like it was. part of him was a little curious.

“thank you for the brownie. it means a lot to me.”

“are you alright? you seem to be really sad.”

“you could tell?”

changbin let out a shaky laugh, “you don’t hide it well.”

you wiped the dried tear tracks from your face, “i just went through a bad breakup.”

his smile fell. “oh.”

there was an awkward silence for a moment as changbin stood, watching your eyes fall on the brownie in front of you, “it’s okay. he was an asshole anyway.”

“well,” he shuffled his feet awkwardly, “i’m always here to talk about it if you need somebody. i always work weekday afternoons.”

“thank you, changbin.”

he smiled— you remembered his name.

“i’ll see you later.”

as he left work, changbin thought that he’d stop thinking about you now that he had properly been able to comfort you. but he was wrong.

in fact, he thought about you all the way home, as he did his nightly workout routine, and then when he got into bed.

what was your name? would you be back? what happened between you and your ex?

even as he drifted off to sleep, your face was stuck in his mind— not that he was complaining. even with messy hair and puffy eyes, you weren’t hard to look at.

he thought that you were one of the prettiest girls he had ever seen.

“good afternoon, it’s been a few days,” you smiled at changbin, causing his heart to skip a beat, “i took a few more days to mope around, but i’m back.”

something about your presence was different. “you seem to be in a better mood today.”

“i think i’m slowly getting better, you know?”

he wanted to tell you how beautiful your smile was, and how you should keep it that way, but he bit his tongue, “cold brew?”

“you know me so well. a brownie with that, please.”

“felix is a wonderful baker.”

“you’ve mentioned. you like complimenting him, don’t you?”

changbin felt his ears turning red, not noticing that he had already said that before.

right as he thought he was done panicking, you winked at him, “i’ll be waiting. thank you.”

face practically burning, changbin turned around to prepare your drink.

“are you and y/n getting along?” an amused hyunjin sipped his iced chai latte.

“you know her?”

“a little. we’ve talked before. not like how she was talking to you, though.”

“i heard it too,” minho stepped into the conversation, “who winks at people like that?”

“you do,” hyunjin snickered, dipping his paintbrush into the water.

changbin shook his head. “she just went through a bad breakup, she wouldn’t be flirting yet.”

“i don’t know about that. maybe all those muscles are doing you some good after all. take her order to her. sit down and chat for a while. i can cover you.” hyunjin stood up from his bar seat.

changbin sighed, taking the brownie out of the oven, “fine.”

“put a caramel drizzle heart on it.”

“that’s overdoing it!”

he left the arguing boys to bring you the order with a shy smile, sitting straight across from you.

“you’re taking the hospitality to a new level, changbin.”

“i just want to get to know you better. you’re a regular after all, right?”

you gave him no reply, looking past him. your smile dropped immediately.

changbin turned his head to find what you were staring at, but you caught him with a whisper, “don’t look.”

“why? what’s going on?”

“it’s him.”

he put the pieces together immediately judging by your hurt expression.

“just keep talking like normal. he knows that i come here, maybe he’ll leave me alone if we talk,” you forced a smile onto your face.

“i’m not gonna do that.”

he let hyunjin take the guy’s order, but if it were up to him, he would’ve kicked him out before he got the chance.

“he sees us,” you whispered, “just act normal.”

“y/n, listen,” he stiffened as he heard the voice from behind him, “i know this is a bad time and you’re busy, but you’ve been ignoring all of my calls…”

changbin thought that he could explode with anger at the words. “if you could please just hear me out, i didn’t mean anything that happened.”

why did he care this much about a girl he had just met? perhaps it was how he could see your pain. maybe it was the feeling in his chest when he finally saw you smile, or that you didn’t seem to be intimidated by him like everyone else was.

but maybe he could use his intense presence to do him, and you, a favor.

changbin took a deep breath, standing up and in between you and the man, not even having to try to give his best death stare.

“listen, she’s busy right now, so fuck off.”

“changbin!” chan shouted out.

he knew exactly what chan was running over to tell him from the look on his face.‘leave and calm down for a bit. come back when you can work.’

changbin would have to do exactly that, especially knowing that your ex wasn’t gonna budge, but he wasn’t going to leave without you.

he grabbed your hand, tugging you out the door and to a bench hidden behind the strip mall. it was finally quiet.

you wrapped your arms around yourself as changbin took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

“i was just starting to get over him,” tears falling down your cheeks.

when he opened his eyes to find you crying, his heart softened, all of his anger vanishing into the cool, winter air.

he didn’t know what to do, staring at the way you fell apart in front of him, crying harder than you had the two other times he had seen you.

“i promise i’m not always crying,” you stiffly laughed.

“it’s okay to cry.” you let out a choked sob at his reply and changbin couldn’t help but gather you in his arms, holding you tightly.

“everything will be okay, i promise.” he rubbed your back, letting you cry your heart out to him.

the sun was just starting to set, and he would have to go back soon. by now, your ex should be gone, but he didn’t want to face chan’s wrath.

he would much rather spend the night comforting the beautiful girl that he barely even knew.
