"It's the only name I can say."
So last ep, Kalina dropped this line after saying "Ragh Barkrock" again. She's really trying to get the Bad Kids to deduce who she could be referring to via Ragh. We've found out about the Spy's Tongue Curse since she last dropped Ragh's name, so it's clear that she's implying that she cannot say the names she wants to say and is dropping Ragh's name as a clue. I've been seeing a lot of theories about this line that are convinced it's implying Lydia Barkrock. I disagree: I think she is referring to Arianwen, Jace and Porter. Here's why.
First of all, and most obviously: Kalina says Lydia's full name in Sophomore Year episode 6.
Kalina: But you do have some time to talk it over because I'm gonna head out and kill Lydia Barkrock. So take care.
I don't think Brennan or the D20 Lorekeeper would have missed this. Kalina doesn't have a Spy's Tongue Curse with Lydia.
Secondly, the gang already investigated Lydia and got relevant clues from her, and Brennan did not encourage suspicion towards Lydia in any way. This repeat of the clue really feels like a "you guys didn't get it yet" type thing. Last time they assumed Lydia and that wasn't it. Try again.
Thirdly, Ragh's only real interaction with Kalina is about a single time he saw something he shouldn't have: Jace, Porter and Arianwen talking to someone invisible (Kalina) on Prom Night. I believe that if the Bad Kids just asked Ragh what Kalina could possibly have meant by "Ragh Barkrock" and "It's the only name I can say," he would absolutely bring up this fact. But they haven't!
That's why I am convinced that Arianwen, and to a lesser extent Jace and Porter, are who Kalina was referring to.
Below the cut are some bits of the trancript from Episode 4 of Sophomore Year, where Ragh reveals this to the Bad Kids.
Ragh is describing the aftermath of the fight with Kalvaxus:
Ragh: I ran into the school. And I went and I saw there was this conversation, and I was going, 'cause a lot of the teachers had been trapped in the crystals and had come out again. And I saw Jace, the sorcery teacher-- Adaine: Mm-hmm. Ragh: Talking to this woman that I didn't recognize. She was an elven woman, she was wearing sort of like black, dark robes, it looked like, they were very light. She was blonde, she had glasses. Adaine: She look like this? [points at her face] Ragh: She look like you? Adaine: Mm-hmm. Ragh: I mean, yeah. Yeah, she looked like, yeah, she looked like you. But older. She didn't look like-- Adaine: Right. Ragh: Um, you know, I mean, elves never look that old, but she looked like, you know, not a high schooler. Um. Jace and them were talking, and they were talking to somebody else who I couldn't see. I just assumed somebody was like, invisible. Um. Later, um, Jace and Porter came and talked to me--
Ragh goes on to describe Porter healing him, despite Ragh not feeling "that injured, honestly", and after that he can see Kalina despite not being able to see her moments before:
Ragh: And after that, I was like walking home, and I saw this cat woman, this tabaxi. And she came up, and told me all this stuff about my mom, and she said if I ever talked to anyone about it, she would kill my mom.
This indicates that Porter infected Ragh with the curse, on purpose. Probably to allow Kalina to threaten and manipulate him so he wouldn't tell anyone what he saw. She really doesn't want him telling anyone that he saw Arianwen there.
Ragh: She told me if I ever mentioned to anyone what I had seen about that elven woman-- Adaine: Mm-hmm. Ragh: That she would kill my mom.
They have a short conversation about wether Jace is suspect, but dismiss it. Adaine shows Ragh a photo of her mother and he confirms that it is the woman he saw.

Always You - Miguel O’Hara x Reader (Part one)
summary: You and Miguel have been friends since high school and throughout all of that, he’s loved you. Getting around to asking you out however? No.
contains: mutual pining, friends to lovers, mentions of insecurity on miguel’s part. NOT PROOFREADING
part one | part two
Tumblr media
You and Miguel went to high school together, graduated together, roomed together during university, and throughout all of that, Miguel had loved you, his best friend. He remembered when you walked into his chemistry class Junior year of high school… Through his thick-rimmed glasses, he admired the sway of your hair and the light glinting of the black plastic headband on top of your head. His body tensed when you sat next to him, offering a charming smile that would have him whipped his for the rest of his life.
The teacher’s voice faded into meaningless noise in the background and he found himself only focusing on you you. Brown eyes watched as you silently took down notes, sketching doodles on the edges of your notebook whenever you’d get bored, nose scrunching slightly whenever you made a mistake. He knew better then to stare but you were just so magnetic. You turned to look at him. Crap
Miguel darted his eyes to look at his paper only to find his page void of any writing.
He’d been so enraptured by you that he forgot to copy down notes.
Flustered, his eyebrows furrowed but quickly shot up when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He glanced up at you expecting you to tear into him for his ogling but then he noticed you had slid your notebook next to his. He blinked but picked up his pencil and begin to copy down what was on your paper. “Thanks…” He mumbled, turning away to conceal the red on his tanned complexion.
Ever since that day, you were talking to him and he was delighted to listen. It started with you teasing him for ‘spacing off’ during class and then turned to conversations about music shared interests. The semester progressed he begun to hang out with you after school, silly conversations turning deep and personal. For the first time he felt like head a real friend, not just some random he talked to during robotics season. Thick and thin, you were there for him and when it was his turn to comfort you, he did in a heartbeat.
Senior year prom night, that stupid guy you’d been seeing ditched you last minute. You were sat on the edge of his bed sniffling into his shoulder. “Hey it’s okay, you’ll be fine,” He cooed into your ear, rubbing your back soothingly. If he weren’t so mousy, he would’ve kicked his ass. “God what was I thinking?! You told me he was a douche- Xina told me he was a douche- whyd I even go through with it?” You sobbed into his shoulder. Miguel already hated the guy for snatching you up and him breaking your heart like this only served to enrage him further. “I don’t know- you’ve always been kind of stubborn.” He joked. You wiped your eyes and smiled weakly, playfully hitting his shoulder. “Shut up, I know.”
Miguel laughed and silently held you up against him, careful to not extend any boundaries. “I don’t even have a date anymore and I already got the dress…” You said with sad eyes. An idea popped into your head. “Mig-”
“No.”
“Why not! I know you hate parties but it’s senior prom-”
“You know I don’t do well in social settings, (Y/N)”
“It’d make me feel better..”
That was all it took for his resolve to diminish. Miguel grunted but secretly, his heart was soaring. “Fine. Let me find a dress-shirt or something.”
Tumblr media
He kept the picture in his wallet. Miguel would look at it whenever he needed a break from college work, you holding a peace sign over his head, blue lights making your dress glow and he just stood awkwardly doing his best to smile. As he walked to the campus library, he took out his wallet and just stared at the small Polaroid picture with a soft smile on his face. You’d changed and so had he.
Miguel opened the library door, sifting through the crowd of studying college students. A hand went up and discretely waved back and forth and Miguel walked towards it. “Hey,” you smiled. Miguel smiled back and set his bag down. “Hi.”
Miguel had grown taller since high-school- like- suspiciously tall. He went from being the small, nerdy guy to this 6’9 tank of a man in the span of three years. Freshman year of college, he didn’t look like this. Though- you liked it. Really liked it.
His arms were big- the crewneck just barely concealing the muscle of his arms and the broadness of his back. You’d been crushing on him since second year of college. It was odd- how quickly your view of him changed and this change brought on guilt. He was your best friend! You couldn’t feel that way about him though he certainly didn’t help. Friends would point out how nice to you he was, how easily he’d fold and howd he’d drop anything just to help you. All of that made your heart beat and yetYou never thought anything of it. You’d do the same. It was just something between friends, no? Miguel’s brown locks slicked back and his glasses sat on the tip of his hooked nose as he stared at you with those soft eyes of his. “Ready?”
Your cheeks flared when he reached over to touch your shoulder. “Yeah- yeah,” you nodded.
Tumblr media
The sky faded into darkness when you finished studying with Miguel, it was chilly too as you walked through campus over to the dorm you shared. “Damn- it’s freezing,” you rubbed your hands together, breaths coming out in white clouds. Miguel laughed, casually taking your hands in his larger ones. His palms were like heaters- unusually warm. He leaned closer to you, the redness of his cheeks not going unnoticed. “Better?”
A blush came upon you face and you leaned on his shoulder. “Mhm, aren’t you cold?” Miguel just wore a sweater with a plaid scarf wrapped around his neck and a pair of gloves, gloves he always wore ever since last summer. He shook his head. “It doesn’t bother, we’re close to home either way so it’s not like we’ll be out for too long.” You nodded, mumbling a soft ‘true’ and kept walking with his masssive hands around yours.
Arriving home, you plopped onto the couch and leaned your head back. “I’m beat,” you mumbled, looking over at your best friend who was taking off his scarf.
God his back looked good from that angle- his waist too…
“Yeah- I’m gonna go to bed, actually,” Miguel yawned. You tilted your head. “Already? It’s only nine?” You said as he walked over to his room. “Gotta get my beauty sleep- I’m a busy guy,” he said sarcastically though there was some truth to his words. Miguel was a genetics genius so his classes were difficult, not to mention all the internships he had at various scientific facilities. “I think you’re plenty beautiful, tiger,” you snickered, he laughed too. “Gracias, mami.”
You turned back to the tv when you heard the soft click of his lock. Bored, you switched on the tv. It was all news about this masked vigilante- Spider-Man they called him. You’d been hearing about him a lot recently for the past four weeks. “Huh,” you said, and continued watching.
-
Miguel had changed into his suit soon after he left you to his own devices. The night hadn’t been too eventful, he prevented a couple robberies which he’d tracked with the help of Lyla- his AI.
“So-“ A yellow light emerged from Miguel’s wrist, illuminating his masked face. “You ever gonna tell your girlfriend about…” She waved her arms around. “This?” Miguel scoffed and looked away, thankful for the mask hiding his cheeks. “No- and she’s not my girlfriend.” Lyla laughed, her avatar flickering to her now lying on her stomach with her palms resting on her cheeks. “You can’t hide this from me, big guy. I monitor your heart rate and it always spikes up whenever you’re around her. Coincidence? I think the shock not!”
Miguel swatted the hologram which only flickered in response. The AI hummed in amusement, swinging her leg in deep thought. Miguel’s fangs barred underneath his mask but sheathed soon after. “That doesn’t mean anything,” He mumbled. Lyla rolled her eyes. “Well according to my tracking software- I’ve also picked up rises in temperature, clammy hands-!”
“Okay!” Miguel grunted. “Shock- I get it.” Lyla smiled triumphantly, flickering over to the top of his head where he gave it a little pat. “Lucky you, I have several algorithms that should be foolproof in asking her out!” That made Miguel laugh. His ai didn’t comprehend his deep insecurity and for some odd reason that was a little heartwarming to him. “Don’t overestimate me, Lyla. (Y/N), she’s- she’s way out of my league. I don’t wanna risk years of friendship because I can’t control my own feelings.” He sighed.
The hologram frowned. “Hey don’t say that,” Lyla hugged his head but all Miguel felt was the warm heat from the light and the pain in his chest. He took out his wallet and gazed into the senior prom night picture. “Shock, I looked like such a dork,” He laughed. You were still so beautiful, hell- you were even more beautiful now. Miguel swallowed, hope blooming in his chest. “What’re those foolproof plans of yours anyways?”
Lyla’s eyes lit up and she scoured her files. “Oh I am so glad you asked.”

Prom with Dazai!
Tumblr media
This man has me gnawing at the iron bars of my enclosure like a gorilla On another note, I hate how this turned out, but for some reason, this was so hard to write. Warnings: light cursing, a little ooc Pairing: dazai/reader Genre: fluff? Words: 585-ish Tags: @estelera11891
It was supposed to be just a simple favor, that’s it. All he had to do was be your escort to your senior prom, but it seemed to be a more difficult task than he had planned. Your friends were fine, they weren’t the issue. Neither was the music or the venue, or the faint smell of alcohol radiating from the teachers. It was you, you were the problem.
He didn’t know how enamored he would be the second he caught sight of you in your attire. He had no idea that he would be drugged by your presence, a warmth he had never known before. The lighting made your eyes look beautiful when they fell opon them. The feeling of your skin and fabric against his fingertips when the two of you danced sent him into a daze.
You two looked absolutely perfect together. You could hear a couple of your friends talk amongst themselves about Dazai, wondering who the handsome stranger was.
Out on the lonely patio, his eyes were all over your figure. His feelings for you were rather tame before, but now, he was losing his mind. He rested against the banister while you were facing the water. You smiled toward him, “Thanks for coming with me, I really appreciate you being here.”
He shrugged, “Someone as pretty as you shouldn’t be alone at Prom.” He thought back to the asshole that ditched you to go with someone else. When he actually saw them, he knew you really dodged a bullet. “I was actually quite surprised when you asked me to accompany you.”
You smiled, “I don’t think I’d have it any other way.” Your words slightly startled him, as if you may feel the same way.
He felt a sudden urge and slowly leaned closer to you. As you turn towards him, he slides a hand to caress your face as a rosy tint scattered across it. He looked so handsome in his suit, you could just melt. “Me neither.” Without wasting any time, he closed the gap between you two. It was a sweet, yet passionate kiss that surprised you more than anything. You had no idea that Dazai had any kind of feelings for you, but you weren’t one to complain.
When you two separated, he placed his forehead on yours. His eyes were sickeningly alluring. He placed another kiss on your temple, “It’s almost time to wrap up. Why don’t we get out of here?”
“Sure. Have something in mind?”
“Maybe, if you’re up for it.”
The two of you ended the night by getting ice cream. You talked and laughed about all kinds of things on the way back to your apartment, your hand in his. You couldn’t have asked for a better date to prom.
“I had a really nice time tonight.” You confessed.
As much as he hated to admit falling for someone, he did have a lot of fun with you. “Me too. Maybe we could go on an actual date sometime soon.”
“I’d love that.”
After saying goodbye and settling in at home, you scrolled through all the pictures you took. A trend that you noticed was how happy Dazai looked, something you didn’t see quite often.
Suddenly, a message buzzed from your phone. And then two. And then more. Your group chat was dying to know more details about Dazai.
When you told them he was your coworker, one of your friends got excited. ‘They got any more hotties like that at the agency?’ They sure do.

You keep your head down when you enter school because you don’t like the attention on yourself. However, when you see Peter at his locker, you bounce over to him, ignoring the stares you get.
“Hey, Peter,” you grin.
“Oh, hey, Y/N,” he stutters.
God, he’s so cute when he’s nervous.
“I missed you this weekend. I don’t like to study alone.”
“I’m sorry. I had something come up with my aunt, and it was this whole thing. I’m sure you don’t want to hear about it,” he shakes his head and puts his books into his locker.
“Nah, I get it. You better make it this weekend.”
“I promise,” he smiles.
You stand there in awkward silence because you’re waiting for him to say something to you. Prom is next month and you still have no date for it. Peter gives you a side glance but doesn’t say anything about it.
“Okay, I’ll see you in class.”
“See ya,” he smiles.
Ned waits until you leave before joining his best friend’s side.
“Did you do it?”
“No,” Peter sighs.
“Why not? You had the perfect opportunity! You better do it soon before someone else asks her. I know Flash was looking at her the other day.”
“What?” Peter swivels his head to his best friend. “No, he wasn’t. Shut up. I’ll ask her.”
“Better be today.”
Peter and Ned say their goodbyes before Peter heads to his science class which he has with you… and Flash. You two have been lab partners for the whole year so maybe he’ll ask you during class. You smile when he walks in and his whole day suddenly gets better.
This class is meant to catch up on your project which you’re struggling with. Peter is so smart that this kind of stuff comes easily to him, so you’re hoping he can do a better job at explaining it to you than the teacher can.
“I really don’t understand this. Can you explain it to me so I can do my part better?” you ask him in a low voice.
“Don’t worry,” he whispers with a smile. “I’ll do it for you.”
He takes out the chemicals to make the special mixture and you watch with admiration at how easily this comes to him.
“I admire how smart you are. I wish I could be that.”
Peter lowers his head so you don’t see the blush on his cheeks and ears. There is a lot of chatter in the classroom as everyone tries to work on their projects so if Peter wants to ask you, then he can do it now without a bunch of people overhearing him. He’s going to do it. He has to do it now before someone else asks you.
He lifts his head and looks at you but no words can come out of his mouth. Flash is behind you just staring at you which makes him even all the more shy about this.
“So, Prom is next month,” you say and he snaps his eyes to you.
“I know,” he nods. “You’re on the committee for it, right?”
“Yeah. Are you going to go?”
“I don’t know,” he shrugs. “Are you/”
“Well, no one has asked me yet.”
You’d think the stare you’re giving Peter would be enough to tell him to ask you but he doesn’t. In fact, he can barely look at you. Maybe he doesn’t like you. You take this as your sign that you should move on to someone else.
When class ends, you and Peter pack up your things and are about to leave when Flash stops you.
“Hey, can I talk to you?”
“I’ll catch up with you later,” you say to Peter who only nods. You could have sworn you saw a look of disappointment but you could be wrong. “What’s up?”
“Look, I’m not going to beat around the bush. Want to go to Prom with me?” There is something about the way he’s asking that gives you the ick. It’s like he’s cocky and is only doing this because he knows it’ll piss Peter off. Peter might not want to go with you but that doesn’t mean you’ll resort to Flash. You open your mouth to respond but he beats you to it. “Before you answer, tell me one thing. I beat Peter to it, huh?”
“Even if you did, there is no way I’d go to Prom with you.”
You leave Flash hanging and walk away from him to go to your next class. You didn’t see Peter for the rest of the school day since you only had science with him, and you didn’t see him after class since you had to go to your part-time job right after.
Your dad owns a men’s suit store in town that is very popular with the older folk, and he allowed you to be a cashier to make extra money and save up for something you really want like a car or a laptop. The first hour is pretty slow since everyone is still at work so you’re just moving about the store and tidying up the clothes as you see fit.
The bell on top of the door rings when someone enters, and you look to see Peter walk in.
“Peter? What are you doing here?” you chuckle.
“I’m looking for a suit to wear to Prom.”
“Okay. Just let me know if you need anything.” Over the next ten minutes, he wanders the store and keeps sighing, indicating he’d like for you to ask him what’s wrong. “Okay, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” You’re about to leave to clean when he stops you. “So, you’re going to Prom with Flash?”
“And if I am?” you chuckle.
This time, you don’t miss the look of jealousy that flashes over his face. 
“No big deal.”
Okay, this is just too fun. The longer you go without saying something, the more Peter is fuming. It gets to a point where you have to put him out of his misery.
“I’m joking, Peter. He asked but I said no.”
Peter’s shoulders tense and then relax.
“Oh, that’s cool.”
“Do you want to know why I said no?”
“Why?”
“I’m waiting for someone else to ask me.”
You keep eye contact for ten seconds before leaving his side to go back to the cashier’s desk. Wait, were you talking about him? Do you want him to ask you? Ned is right. If he keeps avoiding this, then someone else will ask you and you might not say no next time. He takes three deep breaths before going up to the counter and placing his hands on the desk as if he means business.
“Y/N? Will you go to Prom with me?”
“Yes,” you grin.
“Wait, really?”
“Yes, Peter,” you laugh, “I will go to Prom with you.”
“Awesome,” he smiles. “Okay, I gotta go. I have to get a suit.”
Peter is out the door before you can tell him he’s already in a store that sells suits. He’s dorky but he wouldn’t be Peter if he wasn’t.

Pen Pal (Platonic)
Part 1 part 2 part 3 Part 4
Y’all asked for Konig and y’all have received
This probably isn’t how people thought the initial meeting would go but I decided to shake it up a bit
Cause I like being silly goofy like that
I’m planning to soon do something with shadow company and have that lead into the main story of modern warfare 2 so be prepared
(Y’all can tell I’ve started watching Nana)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
high school is shit
That was something you remember clear as day. The reason as to why is much more complicated than the reaction
Perhaps is was due to the people, petty drama, bad teachers, the time or place but in general high school just generally wasn’t the best
You went their for basically nothing in the end since you enlisted as quick as you could
But if there was one thing high school did for you it was helping you find one good friend
It was during English class that your teach had the idea of giving everyone a slightly different school project
She got in contact with her brother (who if you remember correctly was in the military abroad) and had him help her set up a pen pal program
Simply put, she gave everyone an assigned soldier to write to abroad
Simply put, she gave everyone an assigned soldier to write to abroad
Simply put, she gave everyone an assigned soldier to write to abroad
Simply put, she gave everyone an assigned soldier to write to abroad
Simply put, she gave everyone an assigned soldier to write to abroad
Simply put, she gave everyone an assigned soldier to write to abroad
Simply put, she gave everyone an assigned soldier to write to abroad
Fun right?
For others it was a chore but for you it was something that had changed your direction in life
The first letters were slightly awkward as expected. You were a young and dumb teen and this was someone who had likely killed men with his bear hands
But after a while you began to enjoy the days in which your reach would deliver mail to the class
He didn’t tell you his real name for safety reason but he did tell you his call sign “könig” German for “king”
He’s from Austria, enjoys mundane things like baking and reading
Particularly books like pride and prejudice and The hobbit which leads to you both giving each other recommendations
It feels nice writing to him, talking about your problems to a neutral source who gives you the best advice he can
Though he talks of the horrors he’s seen there’s a certain sense of pride in his words as he talks of being a protector
of people like you
At some point during those letters it became more than just talking to a stranger, you both had become friends despite never meeting
As the initial project comes to a close you keep sending him letters and he always responds back
At this point you began to open up about your life just as he does the same
König talks of his childhood. Being the lone child whom the others bullied, called a monster due to his highly
How it lead to his already bad social anxiety to become worse as their words cut him down from a mountain to a grain of sand
In turn you told him of your childhood, your fears and anxieties since you didn’t know what to do with your life
The constant pressure to succeed in a world that was against you since the start
The loneliness you felt on a constant basis despite the facade of a smile you out on
During this duration you didn’t tell him of your plan to enlist
You knew he’d be upset, be angry at the mere thought of putting your life on the line
With each letter you place little stickers and glitter inside as a fun surprise for him
At one point even getting a wax seal of a crown that you used gold and black wax on your letter from there on out
As the end of the year rears it’s ugly head into view, and as you prepare for graduation and prom you decided to add a new little surprise in one of your letters
Whatever König had expected it certainly was a little Polaroid of you smiling back at him
On the back of it addressed “to my Hero”
The letter is a thank you note, heartfelt and pure. He even sees small tear marks now dried up on the yellowed and soft paper
Old pressed flowers (Edelweiss specifically) packed into it just as his Oma did for her scrapbooks like he had mentioned months ago
He cries while reading it, your words forever ending up ingrained in his mind every time he went into the battlefield
It made him remember why his job was so important
To serve, and most importantly to protect people like you
He keeps one of those dried Edelweiss in his pocket for good luck and keeps that letter and Polaroid locked away safely
You continued to mail to him even after joining, you end up lying to him about getting a normal job and now just being busy
He mails them to your home address and you have your landlord mail it to you at base
Your lie continues on…until 141 teams up with the private military contractor “Kortac” for a mission
König never told you who he was working for so you initially didn’t think much of it
In fact you were kinda annoyed to be dragged by Ghost to a stuffy meeting room to meet these guys
Like why meet people in this stuffy room?, why not take them around base? Or literally anywhere else
Oh well, at least you get to spin around in the spiny office chairs
And then the group comes in
You stop spinning, eyes now looking over the men who are sitting down expect for the one in a sniper hood
He’s tall, like really tall, tall enough that he has to bend over to ever get through the frame of the doorway
Damn…you wish you had the height when Price would place your shit on the highest shelf. It would save you a lot of times you climbed stuff to reach it
He continues to stand there, staring at you making you feel a bit uncomfortable under his gaze
Ghost notices this and glances at your and then at him. He sends a glare but the guy doesn’t even notice
“Oi König!, you alright?” One of his teammates asked disrupting him from his thoughts
Now it’s your turn to be left staring, mouth agape as terror fills
Uh oh
As Price talks with the captain and chatter fills the room he’s still staring and Ghost notices how your still uncomfortable
You turn to him asking to leave the room as you glance back at König
He’s hesitant but trusts you so he nods, not before grabbing your wrist and adding “if he causes you any problems he’ll for me aight?”
You nod and leave the room
König following after and into the silent halls of the base
To say he’s angry is an understatement, he’s fucking pissed
Your lucky you took him far enough away from the room or else they’d hear him yelling in furious German
And it’s German so it makes him sound even more pissed off and scary than he already is
At some point he takes a step forward and tries to place a hand on your shoulder and you flinch back
He freezes, now seeing your teary eyes as you stare up at him. Their glassy almost like the eyes of old porcelain dolls he’d see in antique stores
He takes a step back, his mind now clearing up as he finally asks “why?”
“Why enlist?, do all of this?. You had a bright future ahead of you” he sounds defeated as he says this, hands shaking as he adds “was it because of me you joined?!, I never wanted that for you. You shouldn’t have to throw Aw-“
“König it was my choice so don’t you dare start blaming yourself for this. I never had a future in the first place, I had no fucking clue what to do with my life and this was the only thing that came to mind. I joined because I thought for once I could do something good with my life, to help others like you do”
He goes silent after that, your almost convinced for a moment that he’s a statue
And then he crumbles like a ancient monument meant to last
He hold you as if your made of glass, his friend who he was fighting for is now on the battlefield just like him
And like when you sent that letter thanking him he cries
You just hold him, now realizing you had a much tighter grip on his life than you had expected
You always thought that he probably saw you as annoying or just a fun little acquaintance but you realize you were much more than that
You were his friend, a true and honest to god friend
Safe to say after that König is basically hovering at your side kinda like how Ghost does on missions
Just a silent looming form as you giggle and watch TikTok’s, everyone else in the room wondering if you even notice him behind you
You do, and you even show him the ones you have on your saved
Ghost is concerned from how you went from being afraid to now having him trail you like a puppy
Even after you explain what happened he’s still giving König the side eye
Due to his social anxiety you help König out while around base, talking for him when the words choke up in his mouth and generally being there to give him the boost of confidence he needs when talking to others
Having social anxiety doesn’t mean the same thing as being shy so you go about helping make sure he isn’t overwhelmed by people and social situations
When he does feel like there’s too many people for him to handle you take him out the room and to a quiet place for him to breath
He’s a big gentle giant (with you at least)
Definitely thinks it’s funny when he picks you up by the back of your vest like a kitten, even more so when you kick and complain
Everyone does a double take when they see you literally climb him to reach the top shelf for something
Scary giant and small menace
When you find out he can’t be a sniper due to his height you take him out the the gun range and have him snipe for you
At some point he probably teaches you a few German phrases for fun, he finds it cute when you try out a word (pronounce it horribly) but look to his for approval
You now do the “no! Little German boy don’t-“ meme and he’s really confused cause he’s Austrian and not German
You steal one of his shirts for fun (he actually left it out for you to steal since he saw you eyeing it) and it completely drowns you
Like it’s going to your knees or passing it
Gaz and him actually get along pretty well after you introduce them to one another
One time Price, Soap and Ghost walked in on you and Gaz forming a circle around him and walked out
You fucking cackle when he angrily yells in German,
A good example of this so when he stubs his toe and scared the crap out of Price when it sounds like you and soap successfully summoned a demon after pulling out the Barbie ouija board he banned for a reason
He finds it really heartwarming you’ve kept all the letter he sent to you like he did with yours
Legit thinks your code name sums you up pretty well
Sometimes you stick those little stickers that have motivational messages onto him
He always smiles when he finds them
Ghost eventually comes around and the two train together
People make bets one which giant is gonna win, and you get a share of these bets cause everyone goes to you to ask and you say you’ll give it to them for a fee
His animal cross island is so aesthetically pleasing, like your not sure how long he’s spent on this but he’s spent on it but it’s really cute
You call him “Koni” and he calls you “ankle biter” in German but tells you it means something else
Probably threatens people in German if they came weird comments and when you ask hims about it he’s all “oh it was nothing, they just asked for directions” and then gives them a death stare
He’s surprisingly confident while on the field which is a complete contrast to his rather quiet and anxious manner outside of it
You make him watch anime with you, for the love of god don’t show him Nana cause he will sob so hard
Just stick to slice of life or fluffy range stuff unless you want him hugging you like a stuffed animal and crying into your shoulder for an hour
If he’s around when you have a nightmare he ends up kinda holding you and mumbling phrases in a mix of English and German
he eventually gets really bummed out and anxious that he and Kortac has to leave soon
He finds himself becoming more spacey as you ramble on about the day
You notice of course, knowing the reason why so you don’t bring it up in case of upsetting him
As time ticks by you spend days making memories with him and the team, he finds himself becoming closer with 141 than with the people he’s actually teammates with
On that last night before he leaves you spend it with him, Soap, Gaz, Ghost and Price bundled up in your room watching movies
He doesn’t fall asleep that night, you and Gaz are the only ones who do in the end
When he leaves that next morning you hug him goodbye and give him your phone number and address
“Now you can text me whenever and if you have time off you can drop by. I’ll still send letters for old times sake though”
He smiles beneath his hood, you can see from how his eyes crinkle ever so slightly

If possible, would you be willing to write Remy LeBeau x reader on their first date. Please and thank you
💜
I tried really hard to write a first date but I just can’t so this is as close as it gets
Tumblr media
You don’t know how you got here, one second you’re chaperoning a prom and the next Remy is asking if you want to get out of there. And maybe it was the spiked punch (did they really think you wouldn’t notice?) or the fact that you had the slightest bit of a crush (god you sound like a highschooler) on the red eyed mutant that made you say yes. So that’s how you end you’re taking a stroll with Remy throughout the courtyard looking for any teenage mutants doing scandalous things and talking about pointless things
“In France is french kissing just kissing? Or french fires just fries?” You ask
Remy gives you a look, “I’m not French”
“But you know French?”
“Yes but I’m Cajun not French”
“Okay but you can still answer the question.”
“probably just called fries.”
“I thought so.” You shrug, you pause before adding, “not that you have to answer but, what happened between you and Rogue.”
You have been curious. You had heard rumors that they had gotten a divorce so in your eyes his response could be “I don’t know what your talking about” or just confirm that they had divorced. Nevertheless you convince yourself that they’re still together, as not to get you’re hopes up.
He shrugs, “we wanted different things”
You stay silent even though you know you should probably comfort him. Thoughts running through your head a hundred miles per hour. Wait so if him and rogue weren’t together does that mean that this wasn’t just a friendly stroll, could it be like a date? No. Remy could never see you romantically. You hardly know the guy besides secret glances and friendly conversations. Plus Anna Marie is so cool. After being with her he would never go for you. He’s an x-men, you’re just a teacher that teaches at the academy. Nothing special. Not like you save lives or anything. Unless you count evacuating the school as it blows up for the hundredth time.
He eventually notices your long standing silence and asks you a question, one that you didn’t hear but mumbled a ‘yes’ in response.
“do you wanna go somewhere to eat?” He asks
That brings you out of your daze, and you shoot him. A questionable look, “what? We still have to chaperone”
He rolls his eyes, “I never signed up to chaperone”
“What? Then what are you doing here?”
He lets out an oh so attractive chuckle, “isn’t it obvious darlin? I wanted to be with you.”
What. Why would Remy Lebeu of all people want to be with you. As previously discussed, he was an x men and you were, well you.
“So you went to a boring school dance just to be with me?” You almost laugh at the absurdity.
“it’s almost summer, you’ll leave soon and I won’t see you”
“And that’s a problem how”
“God do you play dumb.” He chuckles, “cause I’ll miss you.”
You? He’ll miss you?!?! You?!?!
As if he can sense your questions he answers, “I’ll miss over hearing your lectures every morning, and you always saying goodnight to everyone in the building including me, and how you remember my coffee order after I told you one time-“
“That’s because it’s just black.”
“My point is, I’ll miss you”
“I’ll be back in 3 months” you say
“To long to go without seeing you”
You laugh, “fine I can go for a burger”
“This is the best burger I’ve had in my whole life,” you state before taking another bite
“I’ve had better”
“Yeah sure.” You roll your eyes
You look at the time, “oh shit we have to get back before Charles realizes we’re gone.”
“I’ll handle it, don’t worry darlin.”
“You sure?”
“Positive.”
.
After some delicious burgers Remy walks you back to your dorm or living quarters.
“Sooo…” you pause, “I had fun.”
“Me too.”
“goodnight Remy” You go to turn around but he grabs your arm before you can. And gives you a goodnight kiss. Was it everything you imagined? Maybe.

Steve was meant to be working on his confidence. Billy wasn’t helping.
Autistic skill regression had hit him pretty hard after he broke up with Nancy and what had used to be Steve just being a usual dumb jock with a social life landed him slap bang into special ed. Because he’d traded in a stealth hate watching Kalvin Garrah life of parties, hookups where he never really took his clothes off and being King Steve, to not even being able to leave his house and struggling to talk.
Billy was meant to be a social coach, whatever that meant and get him back on his feet so that he’d actually be able to go to college without having a mental breakdown. What Billy was actually doing was making Steve freak the fuck out.
He was remarkably academic, a straight A student who mouthed off just enough teachers to stay popular while helping his single mom with his younger brother Max. He was hot, fit, creative and Steve had to use an aac device to ask for a glass of water.
Even Robin liked him and Robin hated pretty much everyone. That just rubbed salt into the wound of high school hiring a friend for him.
At first, he resisted it as much as humanly possible. Every opportunity he got, Steve would give Billy the slip and crawl back into the janitors closet with his notepad and sketchbook. Then get a lecture from his parents and the principal about it being for his own good. He couldn’t just refuse to talk to people forever.
Steve decided to take that as a personal challenge.
Billy took it all in his stride of course. That was the bit that pissed off Steve the most. He could be the most bitchy King Steve diva and the guy wouldn’t even be phased. Nobody was allowed to be that perfect.
Then Steve found out about Neil. The puzzle pieces started to slot together a little easier after that.
He decided to go a little easier on Billy. Begrudgingly, they got through the worksheet about appropriate responses to the word hello (patronising drawings included) and made it onto the shopping scenario. Billy decided to take a smoke break after that.
They both smoked in silence for five minutes. It was a nice change of pace and god did Billy look hot while smoking. Steve kept that thought to himself.
He got invited to Billy’s house that night. His younger brother opened the door, rolled his eyes and yelled like a banshee until Billy came skidding across the hall, hair still wet from a shower. Probably had a date afterwards as a treat for hanging out with someone as dumb as Steve.
The hangout was mostly sitting on Billy’s bed, laughing at truly horrendous archived Instagram posts until dinner. Billy had actually made him dinner. Mac and cheese.
Steves favourite.
Things were different when Steve came back to school on the Monday. There was an invitation to sit at Billy’s table at lunch, with the cool kids. Steves old friends. He took it.
Steve had really missed Carol. She was great and seemed genuinely excited to have Steve back. Even if he’d gone nonverbal again so couldn’t really talk to her properly.
Billy was absolutely jubilant. Of course it was probably just because he wouldn’t have to be saddled with Steve for much longer, but Steve chose to believe it was because he genuinely wanted Steve to be happy.
The crush had also become rapidly apparent, much to Steve’s dismay. Billy wasn’t doing much good for the matter considering how touchy feely he’d started being. It started out with just shoulder squeezes and a friendly arm across Steve’s shoulder but then they started cuddling. Billy kissing Steve’s cheek. In school. So Steve started doing it back because he certainly wasn’t complaining and hell maybe this was how straight guys acted nowadays.
It was very confusing and looking up why is my friend kissing me just led him to a porn site. But asking why it was happening might have made it stop so Steve just didn’t.
Then Billy asked him to the prom. That was even more confusing.
So Steve did the intelligent thing and asked “like, as bros right?”
Billy appeared to be doing his best impression of a startled horse at that question so Steve made the guess that he may have committed some sort of social faux pas.
Then he very patiently explained that they’d been dating since the day of homemade mac and cheese. That put a lot of things in perspective.
Steve said yes. Billy cried.
Then Steve discovered that a gay makeout beat a “he’s just straight and this is what straight guys do now” makeout by a mile.
This fic is a gift for @dragonflylady77 who is amazing and deserves the world (for any allistics reading unfortunately school assigning you a friend if you’re autistic is a very real experience 💀)

The Song That Follows 🎶
Tumblr media
<Modern!Eddie Munson x Female Reader>
Summary-A love song from one of your favorite movies seems to follow you wherever you go and starts to play into your real life ; Prom is just around the corner as well. Word Count-6.7k Warnings-Friends to lovers ; A mention of sleeping together but none is written ; Takes place in 2023.
A/N-Well holy crap, here I am writing for the first time since 2011 probably? I'm a bit rusty, but I hope you enjoy! Just a funny side note, Mrs. K is based off of a real life teacher I had in high school. She did come to my prom drunk (LOL). She also did ask my friends and I to help for the extra credit for a school event but we kindly declined. :) (also I'm insanely obsessed with this song, I hope you love it as well!)
You - Hey! I’m in need of your assistance for the next Photoshop Challenge for Photography, can you meet me in the computer lab after school?
Jonathan - sure, no problem. I’ll see you then!
As the final bell of the day rang you made you way to the computer lab to meet Jonathan, grateful he was willing to help considering you hated asking your own teachers questions yourself. You knew senior year wasn’t going to be easy but as the end of the year started getting closer and closer you couldn’t believe that you and your friends were off to college. Soon there would be one more lunch together, one more after school meet up and one more meeting in the computer lab.
“Hey you finally beat me.” You say walking up to Jonathan who’s waiting for you outside the door.
“Last class was right around the corner, you ready to tackle this assignment?”
“Let’s do it.” 
Time passed as you and Jonathan worked on your homework together. Your objective was to take a photo but add in a random object, then having to take said random object out of the photo with editing. You both were concentrating so hard you didn’t even notice your Sociology teacher, Mrs. K, walking up between you two.
“Good afternoon!”
“Hey Mrs. K, how are you?” You ask smiling. Mrs. K was one of your favorite teachers. She was defiantly a little off but was still the life of the party during class.
“I’m doing well missy thank you for asking. I’m so glad I found you both together, I need to ask you a possible favor.”
“And what would that be?”
“I’m head of the prom committee this year and in need of more volunteers. Just a few students to help out with small things for the night.”
“Ah, and what’s in it for us?” Jonathan asks, smirking.
She laughs and shakes her head. “You know me too well Mr. Byers. Extra credit. I’ll let you know a few weeks before what your jobs will be and it will go towards your final grade of the year. I’ll even knock off some final questions.”
“That’s really nice of you to ask us for help Mrs. K but I already have plans on prom night.” You answer with a pretend sad look on your face. You knew you never wanted to go to prom. You hated getting dressed up, wearing makeup, hell doing your own routine in the morning was frustrating enough.
“Plans already? Prom is another month away how do you already have plans?”
“They just happened to fall on prom night. Look, can we talk it over and get back to you?”
“Sure, I’ll be at the front desk working. Thank you both for your consideration.” With a huge pat on the back to the both of you, she walks away.
“I’m just as confused, how do you have plans already set in stone?” Jonathan raises an eyebrow.
“Like I said, they just happen to fall on the same night as prom. I wasn’t planning on going anyway.”
“Well, let’s think this over real quick. Save your file.” You quickly save your edited work and turn to Jonathan. “This is easy extra credit. Who cares if we have to listen to terrible pop music and dress up for one night. We could even ask Nancy, Eddie and Robin to help too. We can all go as a group. It might be worth it.”
“Nancy and Robin would be on board, Eddie is another story.”
“Why?”
“I know him, okay? Prom is not his style or the place he wants to be.”
“But it’s extra credit. Like I said, easy extra credit. I’m in. How about you?” You thought about it for a moment. He was right, it IS super easy extra credit. Your grade could use a pick me up, and it would be a fun night with friends regardless.
“Okay, you convinced me. Let’s go tell Mrs. K when we’re done editing.” Once you heard the announcement of the computer lab closing you both approached Mrs. K and told her you were in. She was very delighted and thanked you a million times and gave lots of hugs. 
Now the difficult part is coming up, canceling your plans to volunteer on prom night. I’m sure the news will be taken lightly considering the situation, what could possibly go wrong? Tomorrow couldn’t come soon enough, right?
Tumblr media
Your locker slams shut. “YOU WHAT?”
“Don’t raise your voice on me Munson.” You turn around and begin to head down the hallway towards the lunchroom.
“Come on, we’ve had these plans for months. We made a vow-”
“Yes yes I know we did.”
“And you want to fall to the broken conformity that is…fucking prom?!” You stop and turn around again this time facing him yourself.
“Look Eddie I’m sorry but this is the easiest extra credit you can receive. You have Mrs. K too why don’t you sign up as well. I’m sure you of all people need the exert credit.”
“Wow, ouch.” This time he takes the lead in walking.
“Well it’s too late, I’ll be there. I still think you should go. Our whole group is going to be there so it won’t be like you're alone.”
“That’s not really the point-”
“Then can you please for one night not be the kid who thinks he’s too cool for school?”
“Still not the point but I’m ending this conversation now.”
“Yeah yeah, whatever.” You both enter the lunchroom and find Nancy, Robin and Jonathan at your usual table.
“Whoa, what’s got your panties in a bunch?” Robin asks Eddie.
“This one,” Eddie points to you, “has canceled plans with me.”
“Oh, whoa is me.” Robin has always been the one for dramatics and you softly laugh to yourself while getting your lunch out.
“Did these plans happen to fall on prom night?” Jonathan then asks.
Eddie rolls his eyes, clearly annoyed even at the word. “Yes they did. Why? Are you to blame for this?” 
“Blame for what? Is this about Mrs. K’s extra credit volunteering?” Nancy interjects.
“I am to blame for this then. Yes, Mrs. K asked us yesterday in the computer lab and we accepted.”
“She asked Robin and I in class today. We signed up too, figured it would be fun.”
“Nancy, you have an A already you don’t need the extra credit.” 
“Yes that’s true but after she told us you two were helping we thought we could go as a group to stick together.”
“My thoughts exactly. See?” Jonathan smiles at you and the girls. Eddie slumps in his chair and sighs.
“I’ll just be alone, in my room, with my guitar and uncle in the other room as he watches reruns of Wheel of Fortune all night.”
“Come on Eddie, can’t you suck it up for one night?” Robin shakes his arm and pouts as she speaks. “It will be a lot of fun. And we can all hang out afterword.”
“I don’t know guys I really don’t want to.”
“Just give it a thought okay? I bet you could use the extra credit as well.” Nancy says.
“Jesus Christ…”

Hey I still feel bad about changing our plans, can I please make it up to you?
1 New Notification 
Eddie - what do you have in mind??
Well I was going to ask if I can join in on Hellfire for the rest of the month but considering I almost killed our whole party in one of our last sessions I don’t think I’m ever welcomed back.
…yeah Dustin and Lucas are still mad about that…can we just have our movie night some other time?
Absolutely! What works for you?
Next Friday?
Perfect, see you then! :)
Tumblr media
Movie night was an essential part of your friendship with Eddie. Every other Friday you would get together and watch one of your favorite films. This time it was Eddie’s trailer with you bringing the snacks and choosing the film. And after another long boring day of school you were exited about spending the night with your best friend.
After knocking three times Eddie rushed to the door to let you in. “About time, what was taking so long?”
“I over bought, get ready for your freezer to be full again.”
“Hey, I’m not complaining. Wayne will be happy about it too.” He steps aside to let you in, putting all your bags on the counter.
“Speaking of, where is my favorite long lost uncle?”
“Working per usual but he says hello.” You and Eddie spend the next few minutes getting everything set up. Snacks on the coffee table while the oven baked your favorite appetizers. “Alight so it’s your choice tonight. What streaming service are we using?”
“Amazon Prime.” You answer, grabbing the remote and loading up the app on his TV.
“Hm, different.”
“Eddie Munson, get ready to watch one of the best film of the 80’s. Personally, one of my favorite’s. Not only is it one of my favorite’s but the soundtrack is perfect is every single way.”
“Okay, so what’s it called?”
“Streets of Fire. A rock and roll fable.”
“If it’s one of the best movies of the 80’s why have I never heard of it?”
“Have I also mentioned it is very underrated?”
“Well now you have. Okay, press play.”
“With pleasure.” You press play and the movie begins.
An hour and half seem to pass like it’s nothing. You knew you were going to enjoy the movie but was curious to how Eddie would react. Every so often you would steal some glances at him, and his eyes never left the screen. Hell he never even got up to go to the bathroom or to get more food. “Well…what do you think?”
“That was…wow.”
“Wow good or wow bad? You’re killing me.”
“You weren’t kidding. I loved it. Why isn’t it more well known?”
“Beats me. My Dad showed it to me a few years ago.”
“Why didn’t you show me sooner?”
“Dunno, just came to mind one day and I figured it would be perfect for a movie night and well, here we are. Plus like I said the soundtrack is one of my favorites, I listen to is constantly.”
“Good choice, good choice.” He nods his head in approval and you smile. “Come on, let’s get this place cleaned up.” As you both continue to tidy up you can’t help but think of how Eddie won’t be joining you and your friends for prom.
“Hey.” He looks at you. “Are you sure you don’t want to come to prom with us? It really is going to be fun.” He just laughs and shakes his head. “Eddie…”
“I’m not going hun. I’m sorry, I just don’t want you. None of you can convince me otherwise.” You accept defeat. As much as you want him to join you you know it’s going to be difficult to talk him into going. It’ll take a miracle to get him there. So you figured from that point on you shouldn’t waste your time. 
The end of the night arrived and it was time for you to head back home. You give him a quick hug and he watches you walk back to your car. When you safely enter he closes the trailer door. As your phone connects to car, I Can Dream About You by Dan Hartman pops up as your first shuffled song. “Huh, that’s funny.” You sing along to your favorite song from Streets of Fire and drive on home.

Nancy - I’m sorry but Robin is about to text you about dress shopping, just wanted to warn you.
Robin-HEYYYY WE’RE GOING DRESS SHOPPING TODAY AND YOU CAN’T TELL US NO SEE YOU LATER OKAY BYEEEEEEEEE.
“I can’t believe you pulled me out on a Saturday to go dress shopping.” You, Robin and Nancy are standing outside your local mall.
“Ladies,” Robin turns to you both, “I’m what you would call a fashionista.”
“You most certainly are not-” “Far from it actually-” You and Nancy answer at the same time.
“Okay okay, I get it. But you will thank me later when I help pick out your dresses. Now, let’s go girls.” She struts herself into the mall. You and Nancy (again at the same time) roll your eyes and follow right behind her, passing all the local shops until you reach the dress shop.
“This is my own personal nightmare.” You whisper to yourself.
“Heard that, and trust me. Don’t you trust me?” Robin asks.
“NO.” Again, you and Nancy speak in unison.
“Please stop doing that, it’s freaking me out. Now, leave me to my duties. I shall be back in a jiffy.” Nancy takes a seat at the front of the store while you lean against the glass wall.
“Do you really trust her with this shit?” You look over at Nancy who’s scrolling through her phone.
“Honestly no, but we had no choice but to be here or we wouldn’t hear the end of it. So let her have her fun. Who knows, maybe she’ll find us some good choices.”
Turns out Robin was good with fashion if she put her mind to it. She picked out a few dresses for Nancy which she tried on, settling on the third choice. Once it was your turn, Robin led you to your dressing room, closing the curtain. “Um, Robin there’s only one dress in here.”
“I know, try it on. I have my reasons.” You look over the dress, touching it with ease. You admire how pretty it really is and thought you would pick it out yourself if you saw it on the rack. You quickly change out of your clothes into the dress, only to find your having trouble with the zipper. 
“Hey, need help with the zipper. Can’t seem to reach.” You open the curtain and Robin quickly helps, then taking a step back.
“Whoa.” This time, it’s her and Nancy speaking at the same time.
“Whoa good or whoa bad?”
“Whoa good. Look at yourself.” You turn around towards the mirror and step onto the pedestal. You were never for dressing up but this dress was just, perfect.
“Damn Robin, you out did yourself.” You complaint her work, turning around and admiring how the dress fits you perfectly.
“I told you, I have my reasons.”
“And those reasons were?” 
A familiar song starts playing in the store.
“Well for one, the dress is just you. And two-”
“Wait, wait sorry. Hold on.” You point your finger to the speaker and smile. “Sorry, I just love this song.”
“Okay, random.”
“What song is it?” Nancy seemed curious.
“It’s called I Can Dream About You. It’s from the 80’s, it’s actually from one of my favorite soundtracks.”
“What movie?”
“Streets of Fire? Why are you questioning me so much?”
“Because I knew this sounded familiar. Mike was listening to it in his room. When I asked him about the song he said Eddie told him to listen to it.”
“He, he did?”
“Yeah, he said they all started talking about movies and Eddie brought it up. He said he watched it with you-”
“WHICH leads me to reason number two,” Robin interrupts, “this dress will knock Eddie off his feet.” 
“Very funny Robin.” You step down and cross your arms.
“I mean Robin isn’t wrong, Eddie would love this on you.” Nancy agrees, looking you up and down.
“When did this fantasy about Eddie and I start?”
“Oh please, we’ve all known since we were like 15. You belong together, and we all think it.”
“And we all is…?”
“Everyone in our group, even Eddie. But of course he won’t admit it himself because he’s stubborn and men never admit their feelings.”
“Robin-”
“Hush,” she covers your mouth “it is my mission to get you both together by the end of senior year. Also,” she uncovers your mouth, “this song is clearly a sign.”
“Okay Robin you’re loosing it-”
“Oh come on! Don’t you think it’s coincidental that you hear this song while shopping and then learn how Mike was listening to it after you just happen to show Eddie this movie a few weeks ago?” She perks her head to the side, she once again, wasn’t wrong.
“Well-”
“Tell me I’m wrong.”
“You’re not. And after Eddie and I watched it, it was the first song to pop up on my shuffle.” Robin raises her arms to the sky.
“See?! It’s fate. It’s going to happen I can guarantee it. I will work my magic. Now, let’s go pay for these beauties.” She once again struts her way this time to the cashier.
“And do you have a say in all of this?” You ask Nancy.
“Well, the dress is gorgeous. And I also think you and Eddie belong together. That’s all.” 
“Awesome, great thanks. Can you please unzip me?” Nancy helps as you make your way back in and get dressed back into your normal attire. 
Tumblr media
Senior Week had finally arrived, which meant prom was on Friday. Today was a half day for the senior class. It was also the day you found out your special jobs. Thankfully being the wonderful teacher she is, Mrs. K kept you and your friends together and assigned you to help decorate apart of the gym the morning of. Your last event of the day was lunch. “So, what’s this big news you have to share Jonathan?”
“Wait until Eddie comes and I’ll let you all know.” After a few minutes, Eddie sits himself next to you taking out his headphones.
“Sorry, got held up in the library working on an assignment. What’s your big news?”
“I have a surprise for you guys.”
“And what would that be?” Nancy asks.
“Argyle is flying in from California to go to prom with us.”
“No way?!” “That’s awesome!” “Sweet!” Everyone seemed super excited about Argyle flying in, except for Eddie.
“Well, I’m sure you all will have fun together.”
“Come on Munson, you seriously don’t want to come?” Robin sticks out her lip.
“No no and fuck no. You can keep trying but nothing is going to convince me to go.”
“You suck, you know that?”
“Nothing new.” He states.
Jonathan jumps back into the conversation to change the subject. “Yeah, he’s really excited about coming. He can’t wait to see you all.”
“We’re excited to see him too, it’s been so long. FaceTime and Zoom can only do so much.” You say.
“True. So, how was shopping for your dresses?”
“It actually went pretty well. Turns out Robin has an eye for fashion when she puts her mind to it.” Nancy answers.
“What do the dresses look like?”
You begin to answer, “Well mine is-”
“NOPE. Keep your mouth shut!” Robin yells.
“The heck is up with you?” Eddie asks.
“It’s all a surprise. You’ll have to wait until Friday to see how we look.”
“But I’m not even going.”
“Then you’re missing out.” Robin says matter-of-faculty. You knew what she was doing and you hated it, but you also wanted to see what the outcome would be.
“Whatever, you guys have fun. I’ll be home if you change your mind.” He says to you, picking up his stuff and leaving. When he was getting up he unlocked his phone and pressed play on a song popping in his headphones, you caught a quick glimpse of it and your eyes went wide. After he took a few steps away, they all look at you confused.
“What?” You ask.
“Why did it look like your eyes were going to budge out of your sockets?” Jonathan asks, concerned if anything.
“Oh, nothing. I’m fine.”
“You look like you saw a ghost just now. What gives?”
“I said it’s nothing-”
“You sure you’re okay?”
“Yes, thank you though.”
Robin smirks. 
Tumblr media
Prom Night approached a lot quicker then you expected. Senior Week flew by so quick you now found yourself at Nancy’s house with Robin getting ready. Peter Gabriel’s Your Eyes playing through the speakers in her room. You spent most of the morning at school getting your extra credit in with Mrs. K and other classmates. When 2pm hit the clock she dismissed and thanked you all for your hard work. Jonathan agreed to pick everyone up along with Argyle.
“I’m so tired from earlier I don’t think I’m going to make it through the night.” You say.
“Oh you’ll be fine. Once we all get there your energy will pick up.” Nancy says. You nod your head and continue working on your makeup.
“And that was Peter Gabriel’s Your Eyes on 102.7, hits from yesterday and today. I’m Michelle, your DJ for the next few hours. The all request zone is coming up, so call in or shoot us a text to get your fav songs on the air! I’ll be back after these messages.”
“Hm, that sounds fun. I’ll be right back.” Robin says as she exits the room.
“What does she mean?” Nancy asks.
“Beats me, maybe she’s going to the bathroom.” A few moments pass as Robin enters back into the room with a smile on her face, a few minutes pass until the DJ begins talking on the radio again.
“Alight everyone and we’re back. We had a few calls and texts coming in. I want to kick off our request zone with a message from a young lady named Robin! She called in for a message for a friend, quote ‘Please change your mind, you won’t regret it. She’s going to look stunning and gorgeous and you know you’re going to kick yourself for it.’ And with that, here’s her request ‘I Can Dream About You’ by Dan Hartman!” The song starts playing
“ROBIN WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?” You scream, dropping your eyeliner.
“Hey, you never know, Eddie could be listening. Plus, let’s flashback to yesterday shall we? You know damn well what you saw on his phone. He was listening to this song when he got up and you saw it on his lock screen, wasn’t he?” You stare at her. “Well?”
“Wait, is she for real?” Nanny questions putting down her hair supplies  down, now entertained.
“…Yes. He was listening to it.” You admit, looking down at the floor.
“SEE? I knew it. Fate, it’s going to happen. He’s showing up tonight.”
“No, he’s not. I know him better than you, he doesn’t listen to the radio that much. Mainly just his phone. There’s only one good rock station in this town and it’s rare he even listens to that.”
“Well I thought it was worth a shot. I guarantee he’ll come. I can feel it.” You just shake your head and continue with your makeup. “Anyhow, ladies. Let’s get glammed.”
Tumblr media
After a few hours cooped up in Nancy’s bedroom, you all found yourselves taking photos in the Wheelers living room.
“You girls look so beautiful, so grown up!” Mrs. Wheeler wipes away a tear while clicking her photo button multiple times.
“Okay Mom, that’s enough.” Nancy states.
“Oh one more please?!” DING DONG.
Nancy whispers a small “thank god” as Mrs. Wheeler gets the door to greet Jonathan and Argyle.
“What up my Hawkins family?!” Argyle enters with arms wide open. You, Nancy and Robin all run to him and engulf him in the biggest hug.
“We’ve missed you! We’re so glad you came for this!” You say.
“I’m glad too! Jonathan gave me an offer I couldn’t refuse.”
“Yeah yeah, you all look great by the way.” Jonathan bows to you all as Argyle follows along. Mrs. Wheeler insists on taking more photos together and you all agree because you can see she’s still so emotional.
“Okay, I’ll let you all go. You have fun, stay safe and text me updates please!” You all then give her a hug when you hear honking coming from outside the house.
“What the hell is that?” Ronin questions looking out the window. “Oh, no way.”
“Yeah, I came barring gifts my friends.” Argyle leads to the front door.
“COME ON SENIORS, WE’RE GOING TO BE LATE.” And there you see Steve, leaning up against a car.
“Oh you can’t just stay away from Hawkins even after you graduated can you Harrington?” You yell to him, walking out and meeting him.
“And miss all my friends going to their senior prom? Never, come here.” You give him a hug and look at the car. 
“Whose car?” Robin points to the shiny black car.
“Argyle rented it for you guys for the night, and I will be your chauffeur.”
“You didn’t have to do that.” Nancy says to Argyle.
“It’s no problemo, figured it can be my thank you to you all for the invite and for Jonathan letting me crash at his place so I didn’t have to stay at a hotel.”
“Look at the time, let’s get you guys to prom. I’m driving, so I’m playing DJ.” Steve opens the back door for everyone as you pile in and make your way towards Hawkins High.
Approaching the school was overwhelming. There were teachers, parents and cars everywhere. It took awhile for Steve to pull up to the entrance but you finally made it. After parking the car Steve turns around to face you all. “Okay kids, prom ends at midnight and I will be here on the dot to pick you up. No later than that okay?”
“Thanks Dad. See you then.” Robin says rolling her eyes, a specialty of her’s at this point. You all exit the car and make your way into the gymnasium. 
“Place looks great, our hard work paid off.” Jonathan states, looking around.
“You all did this?” Argyle asked in amazement.
“Well some of it yes.” You answer.
“Rad.” 
The night rolls on smoothly. You’re all horribly dancing to terrible TikTok hits and overplayed songs on the radio, but that’s not stopping you from having a good time. Although every time you would greet a fellow classmate, the majority asked where Eddie was. It hurt but you can’t say you didn’t try. You even tried to request a few songs to the DJ but he just looked at you like you had three heads. However when you requested Taylor Swift he was happy to oblige.
“I’m going to go get some water, anyone want any?” You yell over the music.
“No but we’ll meet you over by the tables, we need a break.” Robin says, pointing to where they’re going to be. You give her a thumbs up and head over to the water table, filling your cup and taking a huge gulp. Who knew dancing would take up this much energy.
“Hey there sonny!” Mrs. K comes on over standing next to you.
“Hi Mrs. K! You look beautiful.”
“As do you! How’s your night going?” Mrs. K seemed a little too upbeat and standing a bit too close. Smelling her breath you knew she definitely had a few to drink before arriving.
“It’s going great. We’re having a fun time.”
“Awesome! Hey, I meant to ask you all earlier. Where’s that Munson kid?” She looks around the dance-floor.
“He’s not coming. He had obligations set already.” 
“Ah, shame, I thought for sure he would be your date.” She playfully hit your arm raising her eyebrows.
“Yeah everyone seems to keep telling me that.” You take another sip of your water.
“Shame shame shame…” She begins to dance and sing, …”sHAME SHAME SHAAMEEE…”
“Here Mrs K,” you hand her a cup of water, “I’m going to go find my friends.” You quickly walk away and return to your group.
“What’s up with Mrs. K?” Jonathan asks.
“I think she may have had some drinks before coming in tonight.”
“Why am I not surprised?” Nancy laughs.
“Yeah I thought something was off about that lady. Is she always like that?” Argyle asks.
“YES.” You all answer in unison, laughing even harder. You all notice the DJ slowing the songs down, indicating it was time for some slow dancing to take place. You all look at eachother, shake your heads and sit on down. You start conversations about your senior year, how Argyle’s school year was back in California and small talk when you notice a familiar song starting to play.
 I Can Dream About You starts playing over large speakers.
“Oh my god, you have got to be kidding.” You say, shaking your head and placing it in your arms on the table.
“What?” Jonathan asks.
“Nothing, it’s this song playing.”
“What about the song?”
“Fate…” Robin says, looking behind you.
“What do you mean fate?” Jonathan was very confused.
“Fate for what?” Argyle was also very confused.
“Fate…” Nancy says.
“What is going on?! And how is the DJ playing this song right now?!” Nancy and Robin nod and point towards the opposite side of the room. You turn around to look and there standing across the way in a dark red button up, black pants and boots is Eddie.
“Holy shit…”
“FATE, I KNEW IT. GO GO GO.” Robin pushes you up. You straighten out your dress and begin to walk towards him. He begins to walk towards you and you meet in the middle of the dance-floor.
“Hey.” You speak first.
“Hey.” He answers.
“What the hell are you doing here?”
“Well, a little birdie told me you would look stunning and gorgeous and I just couldn’t pass up that opportunity now could I?” He takes your hand and spins you around to get a better look at you.
“Wait, you actually listened to the radio?”
“Glad I did this time.” Smiling he takes your hand, grabs your waist and you both begin swaying together to the music.
“I can assure you I didn’t put her up to it.”
“I believe you, Robin has balls.” You laugh and look back up at him.
“You look handsome by the way, I’m really glad you showed up.”
“Thanks, me too.” He says quietly. You both continue to dance together, soon enough leaning your head against his chest and listening to his heartbeat. You felt like you were on cloud nine, in a dream. Once the song faded out you separate but he pulls you into a hug, leaving a light kiss on the top of your head. You thought you were going to melt but kept it together.
“By the way, how did you get the DJ to play the song? I requested stuff earlier and he looked at me like I was crazy.”
“I may have slipped him a $20.”
“Eddie Munson you are something else.” You say. You grab his hand and lead him over to the table.
“You actually made it!” Robin gets up first pulling him into a hug followed by Nancy and then Jonathan and Argyle. 
“What made you change your mind?”
“Change of heart, that’s all. Plus it’s halfway over.” He shrugs. He wasn’t going to admit he heard the message on the radio, he didn’t want to give Robin the satisfaction.
“Are you surrrre that’s the only reason why? Huh Huh?!” Robin smirks. Now she’s having way too much fun.
“Hey, you guys did a great job by the way. Place looks awesome.” Eddie points around the room trying so hard to change the subject.
“Thanks, I think we did pretty good.” You say looking around as well.
“So, now what?”
“We dance some more. The night is young my friends!” Robin twirls and starts making her way back to the dance-floor.
“Actually it’s 11:15 so it’s almost time to go.” Argyle yells following her, as does Nancy and Jonathan.
“I was actually going to ask if I can steal you for the rest of the night after this is over.” You smile and look down at the floor. Again, cloud nine. Butterflies and all.
“Movie night?”
“Movie night.”
“COME ON LOVEBIRDS A FEW MORE SONGS PLEASE.” Robin yells, you shrug your shoulders grab his arm and pull him into the crowd against his will.
Tumblr media
The stroke of midnight soon hit and everyone began to leave. You and your friends exit and find Steve leaning up against his car waiting just like earlier.
“Hey Munson, I didn’t know you were coming.” Steve says, shocked to see him.
“Yeah I didn’t think I was going to make it either but I did.” He says.
“Alright kids, where to? The diner, home, a party?”
“The diner please, I’m starving.” Argyle says.
“You’re always hungry Argyle.” Jonathan laughs getting in the car. Steve makes his way over to the drivers side.
“I’m going with Eddie, so I’ll see you guys tomorrow.” You tell them.
“Okay, drive safe!” Everyone says their final goodbyes as you and Eddie walk over to his van. Ronin leaves you with a wink and pointed finger guns, as you flip her off in the process. 
Tumblr media
The ride back was calm, as music quietly played in the background. As you approach the trailer, you see Wayne exiting the front door.
“Hey Mr. Munson.” You say walking up to him.
“How many times do I have to tell you, it’s Wayne?” He laughs pulling you into a hug.
“I can’t it’s too weird.”
“Well would you look at you. Absolutely beautiful.”
“Thank you.”
“Did y’all have a good time?”
“Yes, yes we did. Glad it’s over.” Eddie answers walking over to you both.
“I’m glad to hear that. Well I’m off too work. You both have a goodnight, don’t have too much fun now…”
“Wayne come on…” Eddie sighs walking over and unlocking the door.
“It was good to see you Mr. Munson. Have a safe night at work.”
“Thank you sweetheart.” He nods his head and leaves. You follow behind Eddie and enter.
“I’m going to get you a change of clothes.” 
“Great thanks.” You sit on the couch and take off your shoes, thankful you no longer have to wear them any longer. Eddie walks back out with some clothes in his hand.
“Here you go, the bathroom is all yours. I’m going to get changed in my bedroom.”
“Thanks.” You make your way into the bathroom, only to realize you need help with the zipper. “Shit. Hey Eddie?”
“You okay?”
“Yeah I just need help with my zipper.” You meet him outside the door, he comes out in pj pants and no shirt. You immediately turn around to so your eyes don’t wonder. “It’s uh-”
“I see it don’t worry.” You feel him slowly taking the zipper down your side, holding onto the dress so it doesn’t fall in the process. Your breath starts to pick up and you have to talk yourself into slowing down. You’ve seen him shirtless countless times but this feels different. “Okay, you’re good.”
“Thanks again-” You start to walk back into the bathroom when you feel his hand catch your arm.
“Wait.” You turn around looking up at him. And before you could ask what he wanted, your lips crash. You’re shocked, excited and turned on all at the same time. This is something you’ve wanted, craved for a few years now. Constantly suppressing your feelings because you thought you were crazy, but this, you couldn’t even believe it. Without thinking you wrap your arms around his neck and move in closer, you swore time stopped. As you both part slowly, your dress falls to the floor. “Oh shit!” Eddie covers his eyes and turns around. “I promise I didn’t see anything.” You laugh and bring the dress back up covering yourself again.
“It’s okay. Um, I’m going to get changed now.”
“Yeah you do that I’ll find a movie.” You head back into the bathroom, lock the door and take the deep breath you were holding in. Replaying the moment in your head and doing a tiny happy dance in the process. Eddie gave you pair of pj pants as well with an old Iron Maiden shirt. You lay your dress over the tub and find some makeup remover in the cabinet. You knew Eddie sometimes wore a bit of eyeliner when he played his shows with Corroded Coffin, sometimes you even helped him out with his own fear of poking his eye. After taking off your makeup and cleaning yourself up you headed back out to the living room to find Eddie on his couch scrolling through Netflix. 
You slowly approach him. “Eddie?” He looks up at you. “I really don’t want to watch a movie.”
“I was hoping you would say that.” He gets up and practically runs to you once again connecting his lips to yours, quickly picking you up as you wrap your legs around his waist. You part from his and lean your head against his. “What took us so long?”
“Stupid teenager hormones? Peer pressure? Finally realizing your true feelings?” You answer.
“Sounds about right.” He laughs, kissing you again and walking you both back to his bedroom without breaking the kiss.
Tumblr media
The morning sun was peaking through the window. You squint your eyes and look over at the clock on the nightstand. 8:25am. You rub your eyes and start to get up when you feel some extra weight on you. Eddie’s arm was wrapped around your waist, not giving you enough movement. You smile to yourself and bring yourself closer to him, only to feel him wiggle.
“What time is it?” He asked in a sleepy voice.
“Almost 8:30.”
“Fuck, that’s so early.” He responds pulling you closer.
“It’s really not.” You reply laughing at how sleepy he is. You reach over to your phone on the nightstand and see some text messages.
Robin-Are you awake yet??
Please tell me you’re awake I know it’s 8am but plz.
HHHEEELLLOOOO?
PLZ ANSWER IM DYING TO HEAR WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m awake NOW. 
(unsent) Just please don’t call-
Too late, Robin started a FaceTime call.
“Buckley?” Eddie asks.
“Yup. Can I pick up?”
“Might as well. She should be the first to know.”
“Know what?”
“That we’re kinda official now?” You blush and pick up the phone trying to hide Eddie from sight.
“Hey Robin.”
“HOLY SHIT I’M DYING WHAT HAPPENED?”
“Robin calm down it’s still early and-”
“And we’re just waking up together in the same bed. Can we please call you back after we have some coffee?” Eddie comes into frame. Robin has the biggest grin and smile on her face.
“FINALLY! GUYS THEY DID IT. THEY’RE FINALLY-” Eddie reaches over and presses the hang up button.
“Hey-”
“Hey nothing. I want you to myself this morning.” He flips you so you’re facing him and brings you into a kiss. 
“Did you mean it?”
“Mean what?” 
“That we’re official.”
“Well I think the proper way would be to take you on a few dates, then ask you to be my girlfriend then sleep together but considering we went out of order I just kind of figured you wouldn’t mind.”
“No no, not at all.” You laugh bringing him back down for another kiss. “But I will take you up on that coffee.”
“Will do.” He gets up and starts to head out to the kitchen.
“WAIT.”
“What what?”
“Put some clothes on.” You say throwing him his pants from the night before.
“Yeah that would have been awkward when Wayne gets home.” He slips them on. “By the way, my alarm is going to go off at 8:45 so you can just hit the button.”
“Okay.” You get up yourself and find the clothes he gave you on the floor. As you’re getting dressed, Eddie’s alarm goes off with the radio going off. Right when the song begins to play, Eddie runs back into his bedroom and you just stare at the clock.
🎶 I don’t understand it, can’t keep my mind off loving you  🎶 
“You have got to be kidding.” You whisper.
“I uh, I think we have a song.” Eddie says, looking over at you.
“Yeah, yeah I think we do.”

⇢ just for you
pairing: best friend!chenle x reader genre: fluff word count: 628 warnings: jokes about murder, food?? note: going thru sad boi hours and i love chenle. chenle makes me less sad
Tumblr media
“If we’re still single in ten years, let’s get married.” 
You and Chenle were sprawled across the rug on your living room floor, munching on the bags of snacks he had brought from his trip to the Asian grocers. Chenle’s focus which was once set on the movie playing on screen quickly averted to your figure, nonchalantly adjusting your position on the couch, shrimp chips in hand.
“That’s a stupid idea,” He replied, rolling his eyes at you.
“Why?” You sat back up whining, “We basically live with each other, know everything about each other and I wouldn’t mind if you were the one to kill me in my sleep so what’s the problem?”
Chenle snorted, shuffling back to reach into your bag of chips before placing a couple in his mouth, softly chewing on the savoury goodness. 
“Why do I have to wait ten years to marry you when we could just do it now?”
The hand that held your precious snacks halted mid-air, your head turning to face your best friend’s innocent eyes. 
You weren’t exactly sure how you were meant to interpret his response, was he finally done with the dating field? Was this his way of telling you that no one was ever going to love you? Or was it-
“Don’t tell me that you didn’t realise that I had a crush on you until now,” Chenle interrupted your thoughts, sending you a pointed look from below.
You sat in silence, blinking every so often at Chenle who now sat crouching on the floor, cackling at your obliviousness to his feelings. Though only laughter overwhelmed his current state, there remained a state of what seemed like disappointment. Maybe disappointment with your lack of response or maybe disappointment of what felt like a silent rejection of his confession, which — was not true at all.
You and Chenle met in the second grade when your homeroom teacher had seated the two of you together for an art project. You were a relatively shy child, opting to quietly pick up your paintbrush and sketch out a design on your own whilst Chenle sat with his arms crossed, clearly unimpressed with this arrangement.
“You don’t have cooties do you?” He grumbled, peering over at your poor attempts at drawing a field of flowers.
You merely shook your head as you pushed a small brush to his side of the desk, gesturing for him to join you. You remember him giving you that skeptical look, the same one he holds at you now for a few seconds before sighing and picking up the brush, scooting his chair closer to yours.
“Fine, only because you look like a flower.”
Badump went your heart.
Your feelings only grew as the years went by, with you pathetically waiting for a sign of reciprocation. It wasn’t like Chenle was actively talking to you about other girls, in fact — he just didn’t seem interested in anyone, period.
Throughout the course of your schooling journey, you and Chenle did everything together. From being each other’s prom dates to going to each other’s respective sporting games, with no signs of romantic affection from him — it was only fair to assume that nobody had caught his eye yet, until now.
With Chenle’s infectious laughter bubbling in the background, you quietly spoke, “What about the ring?”
Chenle paused, whipping his head back around to face your cautious gaze. 
“Well, if we’re gonna get married, then I want a ring,” You mustered out, holding your hand out to him.
Chenle glanced down at your outstretched hand in awe, eyes widening at your unexpected response before letting out a short giggle.
“Just you wait Y/N. I’ll get you the prettiest ring in the world, just for you.”

Not so happy father's day | Dad! Peter Parker x Mom! reader
summary: This is not the first time Peter let you and your son down but it's the last time you let it happen.
warnings: angst
“For the third time baby, I won't forget his backpack” Even through the phone, Peter could feel your eyebrow raising, “again” he sighed “gotta go, it's getting late, bye love you” he hung up the call before you can answer.
“Who's ready to go to school?” Peter asked your 8-year-old son, Ben. “We really have to go?” The little boy rubbed his eyes yawning.
“Of course! We have to show to the other fathers and kids who are the best, right?” your son didn't look convinced. “I can buy you an ice cream after our win” Peter extended his hand to Ben “It's a deal, sir.” Then they shook their hands.
“Or you could just do it for father's day” Peter murmured.
They left the house together and got into the car. The way to school was silent except for the sound of the radio. Even if they were father and son, they weren't so close like Ben and you. In fact, sometimes Peter asked himself if he was a shitty father. Why he couldn't just talk normally to his son? He was afraid to admit it but they were almost like strangers. He couldn't remember the last time they spent time together.
Today would be different, he told himself.
“Here we are!” Peter parked the car outside the school. “Dad, you'll come to the celebration, right?” Ben asked nervously, it was father's day after all and Peter was known to be late, or in the worst scenario, he didn't show up. “I'll be here I prom-” His phone pops up with a notification bank robbery with hostages, “Dad?” The sound of Ben's voice brings him back to the reality. Peter cleared his throat “See you later, son.” Ben smiled giving him a quick hug, taking Peter by surprise. “See you later, dad.” He got out of the car almost running as he waved to one of his teachers.
Maybe was because Ben was spider man's son or he was just used to Peter's lies but Ben felt a weird feeling, something would go wrong and he didn't like that feeling. He shrugged his shoulders trying to ignore it and crossed the school's doors disappearing from Peter's view.
“I'm sorry, Ben” Peter started the car, driving to the bank to rescue people.
🕷︎ 🕷︎ 🕷︎ 🕷︎ 🕷��� 🕷︎
You were on your break from work, sitting in the cafeteria, eating your lunch with your friends when one of them spoke out loud.
“Miss, can you turn up the volume, please?” She did it and you almost choked on your coffee when you heard his name.
“Hey Liam, we're reporting from the robbery bank where almost fifteen people are hostages, it has been two hours since Spiderman arrived at the scene...” you stopped listening.
What the fuck he was doing there? He was supposed to be with Ben at the school. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
You said goodbye to your friends, ignoring their questions and the worried looks they gave. Taking your phone out, you tried to call Peter but it went to voicemail. It was clear you were frustrated, mad, and hurt because in another moment you wouldn't said those words,
“We need to be in danger so you can spend time with us? Don't you bother to come home, Peter.”
Or maybe you did mean it, this time, for real.
You took a cab, giving the address of the school of your son, almost begging the driver to go fast because you didn't want to Ben spend this day alone, not again.
🕷︎ 🕷︎ 🕷︎ 🕷︎ 🕷︎ 🕷︎
The celebration at school was over. When you arrived, you thought you would see your son crying like the other times, but he wasn't which you didn't know was a good thing or not, because he didn't seem happy either.
After that, you two went home, and as soon as you stepped inside, he threw his backpack on the floor, ran upstairs, and slammed his bedroom door. You felt your heart breaking and the tears in the corners of your eyes, you refused to cry, you needed to be strong for Ben.
You rushed to his bedroom, knocking on the door, “Can I come in, Benji?” There's silence on the other side of the door, getting worried you open the door. The view was the worst you have ever witnessed, there, hidden under the bed and hugging himself while the tears streamed down his face, was your son. You kneel in front of him, “Wanna talk?” He lifted his eyes from the floor, “Why i-is dad never with us?” He sniffled between words.
You didn't know how to respond to him, you asked yourself the same question.
“Why he can be like the other fathers? I-I sometimes just” His voice cracked and couldn't say more. You hugged him into your arms, his face on your shoulders and you felt every single tear, how could you let something like this happen?
You let him cry over your shoulder until he fell asleep, carefully you carried him and placed him on his bed. Kissing the top of his head, you left the bedroom without making noise.
In the other part of the city, Peter buttoned his shirt trying to cover his suit, while running through the halls of the empty school. The janitors and some teachers cleaned, but he was in denial, he didn't want it believe he missed another father's day.
He spotted Ben's teacher and rushed towards her, “Am I too late?” She looked at him with pity, nodding her head and placing a hand on his shoulder, “You missed everything”
Peter ran once again, grabbing his phone to call when he noticed he had a voicemail from you. He played the voicemail, you sounded upset but it wasn't like the other times, it was... different.
Remorse was eating him up, he needed to get home as soon as possible.
🕷︎ 🕷︎ 🕷︎ 🕷︎ 🕷︎ 🕷︎
He arrived home, he felt nervous, like the time a very you pregnant and a very excited Peter bought the house, you and him holding hands, smiling at each other, and a kiss on the lips, it was a promise, for your future.
But he was now, standing in front of the door, taking a deep breath, he knocked on the door. After a few seconds, you were there, your puffy eyes showing you had been crying, and the look in your eyes, you weren't mad, you were disappointed.
“What are you doing here? I thought I made myself clear before when I told you to not come home, Peter” Your voice was hoarse, your arms crossed over your chest, like trying to protect you and Peter hated he was the reason you felt this way.
“I know but there was bank robbery—” “You made a promise, Peter! You promised this time you would be there for Ben, but you weren't, again” You pointed your finger at his chest “but the people needed me, they were in danger and I—” “WE NEED YOU TOO! The people out there, strangers, are more important than us? than your son and wife?” “That's not what I meant and you know it” He tries to walk towards you but you back away. He swallowed hard. “We can't keep this up forever, I can't keep waiting for you, and, our son shouldn't either” Peter felt he was not breathing anymore, he was starting to panic, “Please don't leave me, I swear I'll do things different this time” His lips are trembling. “I want to believe you but you've said that so many times that I've lost count” You laugh bitterly, “Tell me what can I do to change this, to save us” He's pleading, a tear rolling down his cheek. You can't stand watching the love of your life broken apart, but you are not changing your mind, something needs to be different. “Can you stop being Spiderman and be just Peter Parker? My husband, the father of my son, and yourself? Can you do that?” Your eyes are filled with hope and he looks defeated, “but Spiderman it's part of me, you... you never had a problem with it before” sighing, you stepped closer to him, “I hided how much it hurt every time you stood me up, 'cause I wanted a future with you, and I always understand it being Spiderman was important to you but when we got married and Ben born, I thought you would change, leave the hero aside, but you didn't and until today I realize I wasn't the only one being hurt, and I can't let you to keep hurting Ben” you murmured, your voice shaking as your body, Peter wants to hug you, but he knows if he did it he won't be capable of letting you go, and at least he owed you that, to say goodbye without regretting your choice, “I didn't know you felt all that, I'm sorry for hurting you and Ben, If I could go back in time and do things differently, believe me I would,” now he steps back away from you, “you deserve much better than me” he waited for you to stop him, to say something, but you didn't.
And with those last words, was the last time you heard Peter's voice.

Lovely night for rain
Azula X Male Reader
Request - Hey if you’re interested would you do a Nother Azula X reader male The plot modern day Azula needs a date for prom and reader is the only one available but she doesn’t know reader very well because reader keeps to himself
Tumblr media
Azula is walking to her locker and she noticed the posters on the wall. She stares at the poster and her friend Katara stands next to her.
“Are you going to prom?” Katara asked.
“I don't think so. No one asked me to prom. They are scared of me” Azula said.
“Why not, ask Y/n to prom?” Katara asked.
“Who?” Azula said
“We had class with him since we were eight years old. He doesn't talk much and always kept to himself. When we were nine years old our parents made us go to his birthday party” Katara said.
“I don't remember him at all,” Azula said.
“I'm not surprised. Let's go to class before the good seats are gone” Katara said.
They head to class and Azula is trying to remember you. She couldn't remember anything about you. But she does have history and math classes with you. She starts to wonder what she will say to you or if you remember her.
----
During lunch, Azula noticed that you were eating lunch alone. She keeps staring at you
“Who are you looking at?” Zuko asked.
“No one. Are you going to prom?” Azula asked.
“She said yes. After school, I will go with uncle to get my suit. Who is your date?” Zuko said.
“I don't have a date... Yet” Azula said.
“I thought by now you would have a date,” Zuko said.
“Whatever” Azula said.
After school, Azula walked toward you while you were opening your locker.
“Hey... Y/n I don't know if you remember me-”
“I remember you, Azula. We were friends when we were eight” You said.
“Oh okay. I thought you wouldn't remember because it's been years. Are you going to prom?” Azula said.
“I didn't forget. Why do you want to know I'm going to prom?” You said.
“Just answer the question, Y/n,” Azula said.
You closed your locker and walked away. She started to glare at you and she didn't like that you just walked away.
“Jerk!” Azula said.
----
You are still surprised that Azula is taking you. They haven't spoken in many years, but it doesn't mean you hate her. You and Azula have gym together and the teacher is making everyone run… suddenly, Azula is running next to you.
“Hey Y/n,” Azula said.
“Hi?” You said.
“Y/n, you are going to prom with me,” Azula said.
“Why?” You asked.
“Because I want you to go with me and that's final,” Azula said.
“But I didn't give you my answer,” You said.
“Okay, tomorrow we will go shopping” Azula smiled.
You stopped running and she kept running. You are confused about what just happened.
——
You just walked out of your house and see Azula in her car, in the driveway.
“What are you doing here?” You asked.
“We need to go shopping, to buy our clothes for prom,” Azula said.
“I just thought to wear black tuxedo,” You said.
“No. Our clothes have to match and wearing just black is boring, Y/n. Get in the car” Azula said.
You get in the car and drives to the mall. You just listens to Azula talk about prom dress colors. Azula only wears name-brand clothes and it's expensive. Azula picked out a few tuxedos and made you try it on.
Azula also picked out a few dresses to try on. You two will come out of the dressing room and look in the mirror.
“I don’t like it,” Azula said.
“Why not?” You said.
“I'm not liking the colors. Let's try on different clothes” Azula said.
“We will be here all day, aren't we?” You said.
“Don’t be a baby, Y/n” Azula smiled.
You two continued to try on more clothes. It took a while for Azula to find the perfect dress and tuxedo for you. Later, they go get something to eat and they don't talk much.
“Why did we stop talking to each other?” Azula asked.
“You became popular and I didn't. We used to hang out all the time and play together but everything changed. And that's how the years went by, on the day we were supposed to hang out on my birthday but you never showed up” You said.
“Oh…” Azula said.
“I moved on from the situation, Don't feel bad,” You said.
“I’m sorry, Y/n,” Azula said.
“I’m getting more food. Do you want another drink?” You said.
“No, I'm fine,” Azula said.
✬ ✯ ✫ ✯
You went to pick up Azula at her house. Her Uncle Iroh made Azula and you take pictures with Zuko and Katara. Then you put the wrist corsage on Azula and she is smiling at you.
You four arrived at the prom. People are staring at you and Azula and they start to talk about you two. You and Azula went to dance
“I don't know how to dance,” You said.
“Follow my lead,” Azula said.
She put your hands on her waist then she put her arms around your shoulders. You start to follow her lead by looking down at her feet.
“I liked hanging out with you, Y/n. I know we didn't spend a lot of time together but I had fun” Azula said.
“Me too, Azula” You smiled.
You and Azula kept dancing for a little while then went to get something to drink. You and Azula sit down together and then start to talk about which Edward Norton’s movie is the best. You and Azula couldn't agree on which movie is the best. Later, you and Azula dance again. She didn't spend time with her friends, because she was mostly with you all night.
After prom, you take her home. You got out of the car and then went to open her door. You walked Azula to the door…
“I had a good time, Y/n,” Azula said.
“Me too. So, I think this is the end. We won't see each other again?” You said.
“I actually, want to see you again and talk about stuff,” Azula said.
“Cool” You smiled.
You and Azula were about to kiss each other, but Uncle Iroh opened the door.
“Good night, Y/n” Uncle Iroh said.
“Good night, bye,” You said.
They watched you walk away.
“Uncle Iroh, you ruined the moment,” Azula said.
“Did you have fun?” Uncle Iroh asked.
“Yes, I had fun with him,” Azula said.
“Good” Uncle Iroh smiled.
She goes inside the house and he closed the door.
———
Days Later… you went to Azula's house to hang out. But instead, you and Azula started to kiss each other. And Uncle Iroh didn't ruin the moment.

Катя
Питомцы требовали много внимания, из-за чего их воспитанием приходилось заниматься не только Сашке, но и Кате.
(The pets required a lot of attention, which is why not only Sasha, but also Katya had to raise them)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Лучше бы они уделяли больше времени дочери, которой грозило бы отчисление из школы за ужасную успеваемость, но завтра уже выпускной бал. А ведь Карина старалась на уроках, даже подготовила доклад по истории, от которого одноклассники пришли в восторг. Кто же знал, что игра "Assassin's Creed", сюжет из которой Карина использовала, не основана на исторических фактах. Вредный учитель поставил двойку, еще и после уроков оставил за разговоры.
(It would be better if they devoted more time to their daughter, who would be threatened with expulsion from school for terrible academic performance, but tomorrow is the prom. But Karina tried hard in class, even prepared a report on history, which her classmates were delighted with. Who knew that the game "Assassin's Creed", the plot from which Karina used, was not based on historical facts. The harmful teacher gave her a bad grade and left her after school because of her talking)
Tumblr media
Увидев вернувшуюся из школы грустную дочь, Катя рассказала ей несколько анекдотов и с чувством выполненного материнского долга удалилась. Вот только настроение у девочки не улучшилось. Она по-прежнему не чувствовала себя нужной и любимой.
(Seeing her sad daughter return from school, Katya told her several jokes and left with a feeling of fulfilled maternal duty. But the girl’s mood did not improve. She still didn't feel needed or loved)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Несколько часов спустя, когда Сузи опять начала громить квартиру, Карина обнаружила, что осталась с собаками одна.
(A few hours later, when Susie began trashing the apartment again, Karina saw that she was left alone with the dogs)
Tumblr media
Родители решили развлечься в городе и отправились в подпольное казино, где много лет назад Сашка проиграл почти состояние Пиковой Даме, но в этот раз с ним была его верная супруга.
(The parents decided to have fun in the city and went to an underground casino, where many years ago Sasha lost almost a fortune to the Queen of Spades, but this time his faithful wife was with him)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Кто опять проиграл? Сашка! По крайней мере, проиграл он Кате, и пострадала только его гордость. Долго обижаться на жену он не мог, ведь они сильно любили друг друга.
(Who lost again? Sasha! At least he lost to Katya, and only his pride suffered. He could not be offended by his wife for a long time, because they loved each other very much)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Отыграться Сашка решил в танцевальном конкурсе, но проиграл более молодому Филе. Да, Сашка, мы знаем, что мешает хорошему танцору!
(Sasha decided to win back in a dance competition, but lost to the younger Filya. Yes, Sasha, we know what hinders a good dancer!)
Tumblr media
А вот Катя снова была на высоте и выиграла этот конкурс. Хоть конкурировать пришлось не с мужем, а то он бы опять обиделся.
(But Katya again rose to the occasion and won this competition. At least she didn’t have to compete with her husband, otherwise he would have been offended again)
Tumblr media
В это время Карина проклинала дурацких собак, свою жизнь и непутевы�� родителей, убирая за питомцами.
(At this time, Karina, cleaning up after her pets, cursed the stupid dogs, her life and her unlucky parents)
Tumblr media
Зато на следующее утро она шла в школу с отличным настроением. Прощай, глупая учеба и злые учителя! Кстати, сегодня выпускной и у Ады.
(But the next morning she went to school in a great mood. Goodbye, stupid studies and evil teachers! By the way, today is Ada’s graduation)
Tumblr media
Карина договорилась с подружкой пойти на бал вместе. Ну их, этих тупых мальчишек. Они отлично повеселятся и без них.
(Karina and her friend agreed to go to the ball together. They don't need these stupid boys. They will have great fun without them)
Tumblr media
Сашка вновь предпринял попытки воспитать собак, но те только делали вид, что очень сожалеют.
(Sasha again made attempts to punish the dogs, but they only pretended to be very sorry)
Tumblr media
Бросив это гиблое дело, он уделил внимание жене. Дочка вернется домой поздно. Так почему бы им не развлечься?!
(Having abandoned this disastrous business, he paid attention to his wife. Their daughter will return home late. So why shouldn't they have fun?!)
Tumblr media
Супруги отправились в недавно построенный Игровой центр.
(The couple went to the newly built Game Center)
Tumblr media
С первого взгляда было понятно, что Центр облюбовали дети и старики. Супруги так сильно увлеклись настольными играми, что время пролетело для них незаметно, и вернуться к приезду дочери они не успели.
(At first glance, it was clear that the Center was chosen by children and old people. The couple became so engrossed in board games that time flew by unnoticed for them, and they did not have time to return in time for their daughter’s arrival)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Карина получило огромное удовольствие от бала. Они с подругой даже выиграли главный приз за парный танец. Омрачило вечер только вручение аттестатов в конце.
(Karina really enjoyed the school ball. She and her friend even won the main prize for a couples dance. The only thing that marred the evening was the presentation of certificates at the end)
Tumblr media
Не видать Карине стипендии в университете. Еще и заплатить придется, чтобы приняли на первый курс. А вот Ада была вполне всем довольна.
(Karina will not receive a scholarship at the university. She will also have to pay to be accepted into the first year. But Ada was quite happy with everything)

Senior Prom would be in two months, and tickets had gone on sale today. You didn’t plan on going, maybe just with a couple friends if you did.
Meanwhile Jason knew exactly who he was planning to ask—you.
He’d been talking to you in history class this past year and he really wanted to go out with you. You liked him, sure, but you didn’t think he saw you that way.
“Y/n,” Jason said quietly, drawing your attention away from the lecturing teacher. “Who’re you going to prom with?”
“Oh, I’m not going,” you told him, matching his tone.
“Like…you don’t have someone to go with? Or you just don’t want to go?”
You shrugged. “Don’t really wanna go. Why?” you asked. “Do you want help asking someone?”
“Uh…no.”
“Really? I thought you’d be one of those guys to go all out when you ask someone; signs, flowers, maybe the marching band backing you up,” you laughed a little.
“Is that something girls like?”
“Depends on the girl, who’re you asking?”
“Y/n, is there something you and Jason would like to share with the class?” the teacher interrupted your quiet conversation.
“No,” you replied.
“Sorry, Mr. Bernard,” Jason added, feeling guilty for you being scolded. “Won’t happen again.”
You both knew Jason was lying, he loved distracting you from taking notes and would definitely continue to do so.
**
It was lunch time and you were eating quietly in the cafeteria when Jason came over and took the empty seat across from you.
“Whatcha doing?” he asked, a smirk on his face.
“Cartwheels,” you replied sarcastically before taking another bite of the sandwich you were working on.
“Were you serious in class today?” he asked, ignoring your sarcasm. “Do you think if I asked someone with a sign and flowers and music that she’d, you know…say yes?”
“Depends on the girl, Jason.” You shrugged a little. “Who’re you asking?”
“I don’t want to say,” he said, you narrowed your eyes a little. “I don’t want her to feel pressured into saying ‘yes’ so I’m not telling anyone who I’m asking.”
“That’s surprisingly really sweet.” You smiled a little.
“So, do you think I should make a big deal about asking? Or just be super casual about it?”
“I think most of the girls here like the big promposals. You know; big sign standing outside her window with a boombox, or in front of her friends with a bouquet of flowers, stuff like that. But, again, it really depends on the girl; some girls might say ‘no’ because you asked them publicly.”
“Uh, huh.” Jason nodded a little, biting the inside of his cheek. “Thanks, Y/n.”
He started eating the food on his tray, and you furrowed your brows a little.
“Do you need today’s notes or something?” you asked, a slight laugh in your voice.
“From History class?” he asked, his cheeks full. You nodded. “No, why?”
“Jason, you never eat lunch with me,” you scoffed a little. “The last time you sat with me at lunch was the week leading up to our mid-term and you wanted help studying.”
“I just felt like hanging out with you,” he shrugged a little, “but…do you want me to go?” he asked hesitantly.
“No, I was just a little confused is all.” You took another bite, Jason furrowing his brows but continuing to eat.
There was a couple minutes of semi-awkward silence until you broke it.
“Your football buddies are coming over,” you mumbled. “I’m gonna head to class early, I’ll see you later Jason.” You stood up and took your tray with you to the trash; dumping the remains of your sandwich and leaving the tray on top of the can.
Jason watched as you left the cafeteria, not really listening to what his teammates were saying as they crowded around the table and took their seats.
**
For the next week-or-so Jason kept asking you for advice about the promposal he was planning. You kept telling him it depends on the girl he’s asking and he should be talking to her. (You really could be completely oblivious at times.)
You were walking out to your car when you noticed the crowd of people surrounding the front of the school.
“Y/n!” Jason said over a megaphone.
“Oh fuck no,” you groaned. You walked closer and saw what everyone was looking at. Jason was standing in the center with a few football players; each holding a sign with a word that together made up ‘Y/n will you go to prom with me?’ in all caps. You smiled at the sight, Jason’s smile growing when he saw you.
“So, do you wanna go to prom with me?” he asked, no longer speaking into the device in his hand.
You looked around at the people now staring at you. The smile on your face slowly faded as what was happening really sank in. You walked over to Jason.
“Jason, you’re really sweet,” you started, his smile fading, “but this? This is not something that would make me want to go out with you? And the fact you did all this even after all I said about knowing the girl you’re asking just proves you don’t actually know me! I’m sorry, but no. Ask someone you actually know and not someone you pity and you think would be an easy lay.”
You didn’t wait for his response, you just walked away.
“Damn it,” he mumbled.
Thank god there would be two whole days before you’d have to face Jason and the embarrassment of what just happened.
**
“Y/n, wake up!” your mom called from your bedroom door.
“It’s Saturday!” you grumbled.
“There’s a boy at the door and I think you should maybe go talk to him before your dad scares him off.”
That sure woke you up. You hurried out of bed and got dressed in the first presentable outfit you could find. You checked the mirror, thankful that your hair didn’t look too bad and went downstairs.
“Hey, Jason.” You smiled a little when you saw him. He was carrying a bouquet of flowers and was clearly scared of your dad.
“You know this guy?” your dad asked, you nodded.
“Yeah, he’s in my class at school,” you replied.
“Mh, hm.” He narrowed his gaze at Jason before leaving and letting you talk.
“What uh, what are you doing here?” you asked him.
“For the record, I originally planned to ask you when it was just the two of us. I was gonna bring you flowers,” he held them up, “and just ask if you wanted to go to prom with me. But, after talking to you this past week I got really scared about it and thought maybe you were hinting you wanted a big ‘promposal’ as you called it.”
“Jason-”
“I have like a whole speech planned so before you reject me, at least let me finish,” he stopped you from interrupting him. “I don’t pity you. This isn’t an act of pity. And I did not for one fucking second think you were a quote easy lay unquote. I think you’re really cool and fun to talk to and be around and yeah, you being gorgeous is definitely a plus but that’s not the main reason I like you.” That made you giggle a little. “If you don’t want to go to prom, I get it. But, could I please take you out to dinner?”
“Jason, I would love to go out with you.” You smiled.
“Really?” His face lit up.
“Yeah, really. I really like you and talking to you is like the highlight of my life. You being adorable is definitely a plus but you’re also ridiculously sweet so, yes I’d like to go out with you.”
“You think I’m adorable?” he asked, his smile growing and his tounge barely peeking out between his teeth.
“Shut up!” You rolled your eyes, still smiling widely.
There was a comfortable silence for a moment as you looked at each other.
“Oh, these are for you, obviously” he handed you the bouquet he was holding. “I remember you saying you really liked these kinds of flowers so…”
“My god these are beautiful!” you said when you took them from him. “Thank you, Jason.”
“You are very welcome.” He beamed. “So when can I take you out?’
“I’m free tonight?”
“Perfect!” He bent down and kissed your cheek. “I will be back here to pick you up at…five?” You nodded, indicating that time worked for you. “Great! I’ll see you tonight then!” He turned to leave.
“Jason,” you called and he turned back to look at you, “don’t overthink it, nothing fancy, okay? I’m happy just spending time with you.”
“You just made my job that much easier sweetheart.” He smiled back.

if I were you.. | CH.3
wanda Maximoff x fem!reader
summary: y/n is best friends with vision, who ironically, is the boyfriend of his worst enemy, wanda maximoff. until one night, when the clock struck midnight, they are both struck by something mysterious that completely changes the fate of their best friends, including a certain redhead… be careful what you wish for.
sorry for any translation errors, english is not my first language
Tumblr media
the two friends were petrified, and you swallowed hard. Pallor took over their faces. Wanda just stared confused at them, not understanding why the tension had formed.
- Hu-hum ér... - she stammered nervously. - Wow, look at the time, I'm already late! - If I don't run now I'll miss class. - You dissimulated, looking shakily at your wrist as if you could see the time on an imaginary clock. - Wanda, let's talk more calmly later, okay? - you shouted to the bigger girl running away from the two of them. vision snapped out of the trance he was in. Wanda looked at him raising an eyebrow in total confusion, the boy looked at her for a few seconds before running after you. The redhead remained in place still confused.
(...)
The two of them entered the history room. They would have the same class, the place was still empty, there were only three students in a corner talking.
- What do we do now? - she muttered angrily, sitting down on one of the red chairs in the front row, and Vision imitated her by sitting next to her. - I'm not going to kiss your girlfriend! Damn it, no, no, no, no. No way!
You were hysterical and the boy put his hand on your shoulder.
- Calm down!
- How do you want me to calm down? - you widened your irritated eyes at him.
- Do you realize that? Wanda asked me for a kiss! She's your girlfriend and she won't leave me alone because she thinks I'm you! I won't put up with her for a whole month. No way! We can't stand each other, she hates me, and I don't care one bit about her well being! And now it won't be any different, not like this, not ever! I won't be able to be nice to her. Wanda doesn't suit me, you already know everything I think about her, she's a stupid, idiotic, stuck-up, cold and shallow girl who thinks her life depends on being prom queen and if that doesn't happen the universe ends. - She let out a deep breath through her monologue.
- You don't know her, Y/n... You don't know what you are talking about. - He crossed his arms, irritated by her words and looked straight ahead. The girl snorted and rolled her eyes.
- This isn't going to work!
- Anyway, stay calm, I know what we're going to do... Didn't you suppose we should tell someone what happened? Well, we'll start with Wanda.
Little by little the other students appeared and sat down in their seats. The teacher entered the room and wished everyone good morning. They waited for the class to end and Vision exchanged the schedules with you. So did your cell phones. You didn't leave each other alone for a minute, and when you had to leave each other to change rooms, which wouldn't be the same for both of you, you agreed to meet in your lockers. In one of those room changes, you spotted Wanda from afar and immediately tried to hide. you had to avoid her until you told her what was going on
(...)
Wanda closed the door of the house, placing her keys on the keychain attached to the wall. The girl's house, although not on the south side of Miami, where the mansions were, was wonderfully big and bright, with windows that went from the floor to half of the ceiling. a "small mansion" between Vision and Y/n, separated by a few blocks. that by Wanda's own will didn't want to live far from her grandmother Agnes or even from school.
She took off her uniform, took a relaxing shower in her bathtub, and put on a pair of shorts and a tank top, her hair in a bad bun with red hair falling across her face. She liked to be comfortable.
- Mom, are you home? - she asked, surprised to find Natalya in the study.
- Yes, daughter. - She answered quickly, concentrating on her notebook screen and holding a phone to her ear. Wanda tilted her head slightly to the side, passing an embarrassed hand over her arm.
- The Prom is in a couple of weeks... I think I'll finally get my crown this year. - She said with a simple smile, trying to talk to her mother who seemed to be waiting for someone to speak on the other end of the line.
- I'm glad, dear. - Wanda frowned, sighing. - Yes, Miguel, close the deal with the Mexicans... But my husband's not there...? Okay, they want to handle this personally with the owner of the company... - she huffed, scratching her temple. - I understand. Delay them as long as you can, please, I'll be there in a few minutes. she hung up the phone and then got up from leather chair.
- wanda, later we will continue this conversation, okay? - She was packing her purse.
- The Latinos want to deal personally with the majority owner of the company, as you see I have to go urgently. - She hurriedly argued, kissing her daughter's frown and leaving the office without waiting for the girl's answer.
wanda bit her lip, moving her head in a sorry manner. Always busy... They never had time for her. They had problems to show their feelings and affection for their daughter, and compensated this with gifts, trips, better clothes, cars.. Everything she wanted that could be bought, would be in their hands in seconds.
wanda since she was a little girl had a rigorous education, kept a healthy eating routine. she had the best nannies, although she preferred her grandmother Agnes. Stylists, etiquette teachers, teachers of several languages, teachers of musical instruments. But she didn't want any of that, she just wanted their attention. But that was too much to ask.
After being alone in that office, the redhead decided to go up to her room and rest for a while. Downstairs, someone rang the doorbell.
- maria, is Wanda there? - asked Vision to the maid, in the body of Y/n who had just arrived together.
- Yes, she's in her room. Come in! - she replied, looking at Vision sympathetically. She knew that the boy had free access to the house so she didn't hesitate to invite them in and send them straight upstairs and they did.
- What is this girl doing here? - Wanda was indignant after opening the door and seeing Y/n there.
Vision was startled by his girlfriend's murderous gaze on him and hid behind Y/n.
- Can I curse at her now or wait a little longer? - she asked Vision, who gave him a glare in response. - Okay, I'll wait. - she teased, laughing.
Wanda looked at him as if he had three heads. She didn't understand anything and looked at them in complete confusion. Vision, who occupied Y/n's body, didn't wait for an invitation to enter the room and immediately sat down on a small heart-shaped sofa that adorned a space for two. Wanda closed the door, looking at the girl for her impudence.
- This is going to be confusing for you... Oh dear, how am I going to explain this. - Wanda looked at Y/n with her arms crossed. - I'm not Y/n... I am Vision.
He went straight to the point, without beating around the bush, staring at the redhead who looked serious, now sitting on the bed.
- Y/n is in my body and I'm in hers... I know it sounds crazy but this all happened last night and when I woke up I was like this! - he looked at the body that now belongs to him.
- It was an idiotic source that caused this. - Y/n spoke up seriously. Wanda nodded positively slowly, bent her legs in an Indian shape on the bed with her arms still crossed looking at them seriously. But then she laughed, not being able to hold it in.
- What did you smoke? Vision, are you on drugs?
- I'm serious! You have to believe us. - argued the agitated boy. - I already know. - stood up looking at Wanda.
- Ask something that only Vision would know the answer to. - Good idea, Y/n!
- That's enough. I'm in no mood for jokes.
- Come on, please ask, and we'll leave so you can rest. - pleaded Vision.
- Ok, what is my favorite color? - she kept a smile on his face as he entered the game.
- Blue.
- Peen. - Wanda made a sound of denial. - Wrong!
- It's yellow, you idiot! Can't you see her room?! - Y/N slapped the other one on the head, frustrated that he had gotten something so silly wrong.
The walls of the room were white, but one was completely yellow. There were drawings of hand-painted flowers also yellow on the white walls. There was a peach-banana bear on the bed, the curtains, even the closet had yellow details. It looked like a baby's room, which caught Y/n's attention. she didn't expect it to be so... cute.
- Huh, that one was no good. Ask something harder this time. - He apologized and Y/N rolled his eyes.
Ask Vision something only he would know. - Y/n intervened.
- This is the last one… - She warned, already tired of all this tomfoolery.
- What is the day we started dating? - Wanda asked, not knowing who to look at.
- That's easy. - Vision smiled. - It was last year, January 7th.
- Wrong. Incorrect answer. - Imitated robot voice.
- God damn it, Vision, it was January 20th!
- And how do you know? - asked in disbelief, looking at Y/n.
- I could never forget the day I lost my precious voice and almost went deaf because my best friend kept shouting to the whole school that he was dating Wanda Maximoff. - she sneered. - It was the worst day of my life.
- Okay, that's enough! - she got up.
- I don't know what's gotten into you today, I'm really not in the mood for jokes. You. - she pointed at Y/n. - Get out of my house! And you. - she pointed at Vision. - Let's have a serious talk later!
she opened the bedroom door for them to leave.
- No, wait… I'm going to tell you something that only I would know. - Insisted Vision looking at Wanda. - Do you remember that time we drove back in the car just the two of us from your parents' beach house? It started raining and soon a storm came. The car got stuck on the sand road and we had to wait for the rain to pass and… - He scratched the back of his neck. - The weather started to warm up. You took off your blouse and I could see a small scar just below your breasts. We started kissing and it was the first time we…
What a bitch… In the car in a storm, in the middle of nowhere, with the car stuck. Very romantic place to have a first time. Y/n was immersed in her thoughts.
- DID YOU TELL HER? - Wanda shouted furiously, jumping on him and throwing several punches at Vision.
- Are you fucking crazy? Get off of me! - Y/n was caught by surprise and tried to dodge the blows.
- Wanda! - Vision was pulling her waist trying to get her off Y/n.
- I am Vision! Believe me!
- That's enough! I've had enough of this stupid game! - she got off Y/n, who was breathing in fright, and pulled himself together.
- Vision, I am very angry! And you don't want to know what I can do when I'm mad, do you? - He denied it with his head, quickly. - Good. I don't know what the hell has gotten into you to play this kind of sick joke on me. Especially with this... thing. - she pointed at Y/n.
- I don't want to talk to you or see your face right now. I'm not in the mood to argue. So please, get out of here!
They had no way of disputing the redhead. So they left the house without another word. The drive home was silent. He would drop Y/n off at his house and then go to hers. Her parents were crazy, calling all the time. They were worried, because she had left this morning without warning and now it was past 7:00 pm and she had not even shown up at home or at least given any news.
- I don't think this business of telling someone is going to work out too well. - Vision muttered, stopping in front of his house.
- I think you are going to be without a girlfriend. - Said Y/N while removing his seatbelt.
- No, Y/n. - looked at her, terrified. - You wouldn't do this to me. Please...
you stiffened as you realized what he wanted.
- No, this will never work. Wanda and me, never!
- Please, please, please… - he begged. - For our friendship, please. - The girl rolled her dark eyes. She couldn't say no.
- Thank you. You are the best friend in the world, you know that? - she smiled. he didn't need words to know that that was a yes. - I knew it. - She replied with a frown.
- Don't worry, everything will be fine, no one will notice! You know me as well as I know you. And in a month's time everything will be back to normal. And it will be as if nothing happened.
- hope so. Because I won't be able to spend more than an hour with your girlfriend. - she got out of the car, huffing.
- Ah, Vision," she called before the car started. - Take care of my body.
- tell you the same! - smiled and started the car.
(...)
Y/n couldn't believe how Vision could sleep in that pigsty. That room was a complete mess, not taking away the dust. Underpants and pieces of pizza from the last century under the bed, dirty socks on top of the closet. If she opened the closet, she would have the misfortune of a bundle of messy clothes hitting her. There was no way she could sleep there. Not in that mess. So she grabbed some cleaning products, gloves, and some bags she had found in the kitchen. She put on the gloves, covered her nose with a nose clip, and got to work! In an hour, she managed to leave the place spotless, smelling of roses and everything else.
- Gee, what happened here?
pepper came home from work early as she had promised in the note she left earlier. She went up to her son's room and found the place unrecognizable, completely amazed.
- Nothing... I just cleaned up a little. - She couldn't help smiling at the stunned woman.
- I can't believe it! Look at this desk, it's still here. - She joked, running her hand over the previously invisible piece of furniture, lost among piles of dirty clothes. Y/n laughed.
- Everything is perfect. You should keep your room like this more often. she looked inside the closet, which now held all the clothes neatly folded and organized.
- Are you hungry?
- As a matter of fact I am, sir... - she remembered. - Mom.
She couldn't help but scowl at for calling another woman his mother.
- You must be, even after that masterpiece you made. - She smiled and stroked her hair. - I'll get dinner ready! - She kissed her son on the forehead and went down to the kitchen.
Dinner followed quietly. Y/n called her all the time: Mom, pass me the salt. How was your day today, Mom? I'll help you with the dishes, Mom. Mom, Mom, Mom. There were so many mothers for one night, which surprised the woman. After dinner, she went up to her room, when an uncontrollable urge to pee hit her. She had gone the whole day without going to the bathroom, and she was even more surprised that she could stand it. She had to go to the bathroom, but she was afraid, terrified. It bothered her. She decided to call Vision.
- Vision... I need to go to the bathroom. - I said in a broken voice, squeezing my legs together so as not to do it in my pants.
- What?
He couldn't hear straight. He was lying on Y/n's bed entertained by the television on, after being showered with questions about where he was and kisses by scott, who was the most protective. hope had also been worried and asked if he had eaten properly, since he had left without coffee. The boy was enjoying this concern. His mother was not one to ask, after all he always came home earlier than she did. She only came home late or even the next morning after overtime and shifts. What he really liked was that he was welcomed home. Until yesterday he had no father, but today he had scott. Even if only temporary. Can you believe it?
- I need to... go... to... the... bathroom.
- Ah... That's it. Hurry up!
- How come? I don't want to see or touch what you have down there!
- Um... Y/n, don't get hysterical but... It's just that I've already gone to the bathroom. - Answered cautiously scratching the back of his neck afraid of the other's reaction.
- HOW IS IT?
Flashback on
- It's hot as hell. - The blond muttered opening the bedroom windows. - After a day like this, all this craziness, impossible for me to sleep without a good shower...
He spoke agonized to himself, sitting on the bed with his head resting on the headboard.
- I don't know why Y/n is making all this fuss, at some point or another it's going to have to happen. Come on, it's a month! Besides, she probably doesn't have much different from the girls in PlayBoy magazine...
He tried to convince himself that this wouldn't be wrong.
He got out of bed and went to the bathroom in his room. He slowly took off his clothes. He took off his underwear and didn't want to look at it out of respect for Y/n. It was also strange, he felt as if he had been 'caped'. He removed his bra, but he couldn't help but stare, it was comical. The next thing he knew he was playing with his provisional breasts under the shower, innocently. he let out a silly laugh every time he squeezed them. It was strange and new, but funny.
Then he played as if they were guns, squeezing them as if he were pulling the trigger and making shooting sounds with he mouth. The bath followed at the same comic pace. he lathered up he long hair, and also lathered up the pink nipples of he breasts. And the strangeness passed. After he finished, he put on some baggy clothes and left the room.
Flashback off
- Come on, don't get mad. We wouldn't go a whole month without going to the bathroom. Besides, you're just my friend, there's nothing to be ashamed of.
- Wouldn't it have killed you to at least call me? - squeezed her eyes shut, embarrassed. - Like I'm doing now?
- Okay. I'm sorry... - he pauses. - But then, aren't you going to use the bathroom? Or would you rather do it in your pants? - he couldn't help but laugh imagining the situation, it was all so insane! The only thing he could come up with was laughter.
- What do I do? - she pulled down pants and underwear already inside the bathroom and put cell phone on the sink on speakerphone.
- It's not that hard. But just one thing, you're not hard, are you? It's really annoying to pee like this, it hurts.
- I'm what?!
- Nothing... Just hold it and aim somewhere inside the pot. And be careful not to...
- Damn, Vision, I pissed myself! It's like a fucking jet hose and it's soft! - Y/n shouted from the call side, as she couldn't hit the toilet very well and was shaking the 'thing' terrified, wetting all her pants and the toilet lid together.
Vision burst into outrageous laughter without restraint imagining the scene.
- Stop laughing! How do you control it, my God?!
- Be careful not to wet your pants. - He added amidst his laughter. - Wait, did you get wet already? - exploded with another laugh.
- I don't know why you're so funny. Damn it! - she said, frustrated, finishing as best she could. Now she had to take a shower, she took off her wet blouse and pants, getting into the shower right away.
Y/n was showering hurriedly while mumbling things that Vision couldn't understand very well because of the noise of the shower water. But he couldn't help but laugh at the situation.
- Vision, I'm going to hang up now, I need to rest. It had been a busy day. - she curled up in towel without looking down.
- You are right... - you heard the little sigh in the call. - This was only the first of thirty days. I'll do the same, tomorrow is a long day and you still have to apologize to Wanda. She was quite... angry today.
- I what? - she asked incredulously.- Good night, Y/n!
(...)
- Come on, she's over there. going to apologize.
Vision said with his voice cut off by the effort he was making, trying at all costs to push Y/n, whose feet were stuck to the floor, to get her closer to the redhead who was putting something away in her own closet.
- I said no! - she exclaimed, watching Wanda's movements.
- You promised you were going to be nicer to my girlfriend. - Y/n looked at him with irony and he gave up trying to push her. It was useless, he didn't have enough strength in that small body.
- I didn't promise anything!
- Okay... You didn't promise... But you agreed that you would try to be nice to her, at least until everything was back to normal. - Y/n grumbled grumpily, - Come on, Y/n... I'll stay here from a distance to see if you don't make any mistakes. - He tried to push her again.
- Okay, okay, I'm coming! But know that you'll owe me for the rest of your life. - whispered as he walked away.
- Whatever you want, darling. - He smiled watching her approach his girlfriend.
- Wanda... - murmured almost voicelessly, making the redhead close her closet tightly and look at him afterwards.
- I wanted to... - She looked up at Vision who was standing behind them a short distance away, who was encouraging her with signs and gestures for her to continue. Wanda arched her eyebrows in confusion and Y/n looked at her again. - I wanted to apologize for yesterday.
- I was really very angry with you. I don't know what made you make a childish joke like that. That's what happens when you live with bad people.
- Don't put Y/n into it...
- Especially Y/n. You end up picking up on her weirdness. - Y/n looked at her somberly. - I told you she is not good company. - she continued with his criticism without noticing the other's hard stare.
- Enough about Y/n, okay? - I said dryly trying to change the subject before I lost control of hanging that girl in the middle of so many people. - Is everything ok?
Wanda agreed positively and slung her purse over her shoulder.
- Then... - took a deep breath and asked slowly: - excuse me?
She was impatient. But she tried to be as subtle as possible. Because what she really wanted was to tear the other's hair out, to beat her until she saw the blood flowing. Come on, Y/n was not violent, she was completely against violence. But she just didn't like Wanda and her criticism.
- You are excused, little bear. - she smiled, putting his tongue between his teeth in a childish way. - But don't make that kind of joke again. It's not funny. - said sharply, kissing the boy's cheek and interlacing her hand with his.
When she wasn't looking, Y/n tried to run his hand over his newly kissed cheek, wiping it clean.
- Little bear? - she questioned to herself in a thread of voice without realizing the contact she was holding, which was now the warm hand of the redhead, who was subtly pulling her toward the classroom.
Wanda didn't hear his questioning, as she was busy on her cell phone. Y/n didn't understand anything. She was embarrassed by that simple touch, which somehow made her calm down in the same instant. Vision watched everything from afar and smiled. Happy assuming that everything had gone well.
(...)
- Good Morning. I received a letter in the mail today and folks... - Mrs. Miller began a little uncertain.
With everyone in the room, Y/n and Wanda were sitting side by side in the front row and Peter in the second row behind Y/n.
- We already knew that we would face Hayfield at regionals and it looks like this year we will also face Cleverford University. - Miller was blunt in spilling the news and clearly saw natasha snort.
- But they beat us last year. - nat commented despondently as her fingers restlessly fiddled with the bottom of her dress.
- It seems that the council has assigned a theme to the regionals this year and part of our points will depend on a good interpretation by you... - He opened a card that remained in his hands the whole time for you to see.
- Hymn... Now who of you can tell me what an Hymn is?
Clint raised his hand before fixing his glasses on his face. - The bottom of a lady's pants?
- Close... but no. Hymn is an epic song, surrounded by emotion, that somehow seems bigger than itself. Even bigger than the person who performs it. So I have the perfect song for the regionals, which will be... - She made suspense while Cassie played the drums in the same way. - My Chemical Romance!
- But, Ms. Miller. - Y/n raised his hand. - Even though I like My Chemical Romance and I think we were great in this number, as leader of the group and arbiter of all that is good enough... - At that moment everyone turned their heads toward the voice. Their eyes widened, confused, shocked. Y/n totally forgot that he was in his friend's body, and as he always did, he had to give his opinion. What caused the most astonishment in the group was that Y/n was never silent in meetings and she was at that moment, completely still and silent. Not totally, her body was still, and who was imposing was Vision who never paid attention to anything Mrs. Miller said and was always oblivious to the subjects.
- I must say that I don't think this song is good enough for regionals. We can't just do any song, we must be crafty, epic. We need an indisputable advantage. We must write our own song.
still continued didn't notice the stares of others.
- Y/n, what have you done with Vision? - Sam stared dumbfounded at Vision, who looked distraught.
- Man... You're talking like the weirdo now. - Bucky muttered in amazement next to the boy.
- I-I-I just assumed what Y/n would say. - tried to dissemble without fumbling after she realized the situation....
- That's it..... That's exactly what I was going to say. You took the words right out of my mouth, Vision. - He punched the air pretending to agree to help the girl. Everyone kept looking at the two without understanding anything.
- Okay... Then let's take a vote. - Miller spoke up. - Raise your hands if you are in favor of doing an original song...
Y/n was the first to raise her arm, followed by vision who supported her.
- Chemical romance? - Everyone consequently raised their arms, except wanda who didn't speak up at any time.
Miller closed the subject exactly when the bell rang to end the class. wanda was really confused, as was everyone else in the choir, by vision's attitude, she was beginning to be sure that it was from spending so much time with Y/n, that he was already starting to act like her. But she decided not to comment on it, she didn't want to blame him again, she didn't want to argue with him about her. Y/n left the room snorting with anger. even when I am not in my body Ms. Miller tries to ruin my life. I thought.
- Vision.
Y/n slowly closed his eyes.
- Oh no... No... Not again. Get off, tick. - She whispered to herself before the girl approached.
- teddy bear, tonight I really want to go to the amusement park.
- And what does that have to do with me?
- What? - She had listened very well but gave him a chance to change what he had said.
- And what can I do about it? - she smiled, falsely.
- You can come by my place at seven... be on time. - she smiled and gave her a quick soft kiss close to her mouth, then left and went on to his practice without waiting for an answer.
If the touch of the hands was awkward, the kiss close to the mouth was a thousand times more so. She was disconnected and embarrassed. She stood still for a while still processing what had happened and blushed hard still feeling the soft touch of the warm lips on her, close to her mouth. And this time, Y/n didn't run her hand over to wipe it off.
- But... - You're back to your normal state. - Wait, Maximoff, I didn't say yes. - It was late because the girl had already gone. - Damn that redheaded barbie.
- Hey... What's up? Why are you cursing the wind? - joked vision.
- I am actually cursing your girlfriend.
- She wants to go to the amusement park tonight. -said incredulously as if this were the most supernatural thing in the world.
- What's wrong with that? As far as I know you love amusement parks, right?
- Of course I do. Who doesn't like amusement parks?
- Me. - He answered even though he knew it was a rhetorical question.
- I don't like your girlfriend.
- you have to promise me that you won't treat wanda badly in any way today. You'll be nice to her, won't you? please.
Raising his hand for her to shake, y/n made sure to leave him in a vacuum.
she rolled his eyes. - I'll do it for you, but I remind you that YOU owe me one. You can't make any more demands. - she smiled cynically.
- Yes, I owe you one, but I don't necessarily have to pay you now. It could be in a month, a year, two... - he smiled victoriously.
- I hate you, you know? - Vision laughed.
(...)
- Twin one, apologize to twin two. - he asked, playing angry. He was lying on the bed and playing with his new "toys".
- But... But he started it, he thinks he's a little bigger than me. - He personified one of the breasts by squeezing it while producing a thin voice as if he was receiving the answer.
- I... - He started to produce a thin voice again when he was interrupted by y/n who had just arrived at his parents' house and was entering the room.
- What are you doing? - She asked slowly, cautiously, looking at her friend who was squeezing with his hand one of the breasts that had been her.
- I-I-I... Nothing! - he exclaimed with a startled gasp, quickly removing her hand from her breast.
- You are so weird," she said, raising an eyebrow at the scene her had seen.
- And you... what are you doing here? - He tried to change the subject.
- Nothing... I just came to tell you that I'm going out with Wanda. - said dryly and vision smiled.
- behave yourself. - He said holding back his laughter, enjoying his best friend's torture.
- I can't promise," she laughed in her reply, and vision rolled her eyes.
He quickly got up and hugged her, trying to pass on confidence even though his body was smaller than hers.
(...)
At seven o'clock sharp Y/n was in front of wanda's house. Not because she had asked him to, but because it was a routine custom and habit to be on time. He rang the bell and soon the door was open. The redhead was wearing tight jeans that made her large butt visible, and a blouse above her navel with a jacket over her shoulder in case it was cold. Her shoulder-length hair fell perfectly into her back.
The walk had been made in silence, some music resounded on the radio. Wanda sang along with her and swayed her body with her tongue between her teeth. y/n glanced at her and almost smiled. Almost half an hour later they arrived at their destination.
- So... - You started out uncertain. You were embarrassed to be holding Wanda's hand. The girl, on the other hand, was looking everywhere in the crowded park, looking delighted as she decided which toy to go on first.
- Look, Mama, the ugly monster. - A little girl pointed to one of the big posters that stood next to the castle of horrors.
- Are you going to let? - You asked with a wicked smile, not being able to avoid missing the joke, even though you regretted it seconds later.
- Leave what?
- No... Nothing! - she sighed relieved that she hadn't heard. After running around almost the entire park, Wanda decided to go shoot the ducklings.
- That's not funny... I can't hit one! - she grumbled, missing all three shots without knocking down any of the ducks.
- My turn... - wanda smiled and took the toy gun from y/n's hand, aimed and fired, hitting a moving duck.
- I don't believe it. How did you do that? - She widened her eyes in disbelief, making Wanda laugh. - You hit the little one!
- To the winner. - Said the toy's owner, nicely handing over a small pink teddy bear as a prize.
- A teddy bear for my teddy bear. - she smiled sweetly, again putting her tongue between her teeth that y/n was already finding adorable.
- Are you going to give it to me? - she asked spontaneously, a little embarrassed by the girl's gesture. - But you won...
- It's yours. - she came closer and kissed the corner of her lips, still looking into her eyes.
you truly smiled that night.
- So you will be called Blue. - I spoke in a gentle voice, looking down at the bear and playing with its paw.
- Blue? - she laughed in amusement. - But he's pink.
- I know. That's why it's fun, right? - she answered without taking his eyes off the little bear.
Wanda smiled again, but in a different way this time. She looked at Vision for a few seconds and saw him run his hand over his head between his hair and his eyebrows flattened. She wondered why he didn't have that mannerism. But she didn't care much.
- Now Mr. Bigous will have a new friend, won't you Blue?
- Mr. Bigous? - Smile all the time.
- Yes, my little bear. I've had it since I was eleven. It was the last one my father gave me as a present, before he bought me sanitary pads. - she said on automatic and wanda choked on her soda.
- What? Your father? Absorbents? What do you mean? - she blurted out, wide-eyed.
- What? - she looked at her confused.
- What do you mean "what"? You said you had had this bear since you were eleven, before your father bought you sanitary pads. - You widened your eyes and moved your mouth without making a sound. Damn it, Y/n! You mentally beat yourself up.
- Did I say that? - She dissimulated by playing crazy.
- said.
- Strange... Hey, have you ever seen Titanic? - she abruptly changed the subject.
- Not really. - she found the exchange strange. - I always saw some parts of it on TV but never actually watched it.
- Me neither! Look, cotton candy! I'll buy it for us, wait! - she said, desperate to make Wanda forget what she had said. She returned soon after with two large cotton candy balls.
- I bought a yellow one, her favorite color. - she smiled crookedly, feeling sorry for himself for having remembered that little detail, she wanted to give something back for the teddy bear.
- Thank you... But I don't eat sweets or anything like that. - She replied half embarrassed that he bought it to please her and she couldn't eat it.
- What do you mean you don't eat sweets? Are you allergic? Are you diabetic?
- No. - she answered, laughing at all the questions. - I have never eaten.
- NEVER? - y/n made a face in complete horror and wanda had to laugh.
- So you've never eaten cotton candy? I don't believe it... What unknown planet are you from? - She asked, amazed, and Wanda was amused by this, because even the aliens must eat this on their planet.
- Severe diet. - she shrugged.
- Well, today you're going to get off this crazy diet. You have to try the cotton candy, I swear you won't regret it. - she offered it to her now, smiling.
wanda thought for a few seconds whether or not to try it. And y/n must have read her mind.
- You will never know if you like it unless you try it...
wanda smiled and decided to eat. Just for today, it wouldn't hurt, she already ate so many banana desserts hidden from her mother. She never realized, nor did her nutritionist or all those people who wanted to tell her how to live.
- It's okay. - she put a little mound in her mouth and after a few seconds her eyes widened. - How incredible! It melts in your mouth... It's like... - She smiled, stuffing more cotton candy in her mouth. - Huumm... like magic!
y/n couldn't help a laugh, which wanda found enjoyable to hear.
- Do you believe in magic...? In elves, angels, something like that? - She put her hands in her pants pockets as she smiled relaxedly walking through the park with Wanda by her side.
- No... Not leprechauns. - She answered, amused by the cotton candy as a child.
- Angels, yes?
- It would be very nice to believe that somewhere there is someone watching over you and taking care of you, don't you think? - She put another mound of cotton candy in her mouth and looked him in the eye.
- Yes.. - she returned her intense gaze, now with a half-smile, tender, sincere. Maybe Wanda wasn't so bad. Maybe deep down, deep down, she was a good person. Just maybe...
- vision, my cotton candy ran out. - She replied in a low voice sad that it was over and he quickly gave her his, still amazed that she had eaten it so fast. wanda smiled and devoured the candy again.
- Colorful gum... If you liked the cotton candy you will love this too. - y/n commented as soon as wanda had finished the second candy. she bought and handed her a small bag of gum.
- This is very good... How come I've never tasted it? - she asked herself, fascinated, while chewing her gum.
- Show me your tongue. - she asked amused.
wanda stuck out her tongue, making an amused face.
- It's green.
- Show me yours now.
- I won't show my tongue.
- It's not fair! I showed you mine. - she pouted in a sad face with his arms crossed.
- Come on, show me...
- No. - She laughed at the other's reaction. wanda punched her arm.
- Ouch, Wands!
- SHOW ME!
- No.
- Yes.
- No.
- No.
- Yes.
- It fell in the game. Ha! I won. Show me now. - Punched his arm again, this time weaker.
- I can't believe fell for this stupid game. - she surrendered to the girl's insistence and showed his tongue.
- It's blue. - She smiled mischievously and y/n looked at her strangely. - Good. Now let's put our colors together.
y/n took a step backwards almost tripping over a rock when she felt the other girl's hands pulling her by the back of her neck. wanda flattened her eyebrows, confused by such an attitude.
- Look! Car-battles! Let's go? - she didn't wait for an answer and pulled the girl's hand to the toy line.
- I drive.
(...)
- You can see everything from up here. - murmured y/n looking at the shining city. They were now on the Ferris wheel after riding on almost all the rides and eating more candy from wanda. The chair of the two had made that typical stop at the highest point of the wheel. Vision would probably have a fit, after all he was scared to death of heights.
- It's true... It's beautiful. - She looked at the sky flooded with stars and it hit her in a strange way, reminding her of y/n and its crazy metaphors.
She laughed, shaking her head, and looked at the boy next to her.
- To be even more beautiful now only one thing is missing... - She smiled holding her boyfriend's face.
y/n realized the intention and literally petrified, clenching his hands on the iron bar. she closed his eyes tightly feeling the girl's nose caress his and the warm breath join with his trembling one. There was no escape, they were meters from the ground. she waited for the next movement but nothing came. she opened his eyes and saw the girl's pale face.
- Vision... I think I'm going to be sick. - She put her hands to her mouth. After so many turns and so much sugar, she began to feel her stomach turn, her hands were sweating cold.
Y/n shouted as much as she could promptly asking the conductor to make them get off the toy.
- Have some water. - She offered carefully with a mineral water in hand, handing it to the redhead who was already sitting on a bench. - I shouldn't have given you so much candy.
- I am already better. - Really? - Wanda nodded with a half-smile.
- Anyway it's still eight o'clock, let's go on some more toys and then we'll leave.
The girl nodded and stood up, paying in the boy's hand to go to the house of horrors.
(...)
The return trip, unlike the outward one, was more relaxed. They talked about the night, laughed and sang to the sound of the Pixies. Wanda's favorite band. You would never admit it, but you had enjoyed the evening. Although your concept of Wanda hadn't changed much, no arguments, no insults. Vision could be right. maximoff could really be a nice person.
- Rest and don't eat anything sweet anymore. You might feel sick again and we don't want your mother to find out, right? - she murmured, amused but worried at the same time.
- You too, Teddy Bear. - She said goodbye with a little kiss on the cheek. And before she left the car, she received an unexpected kiss on her forehead.

the show never gave us a high school reunion episode which is a staple of procedurals/crime dramas so I came up with one, that's why the dialogue is in script format(ish)
the body of danny's high school guidance councillor is discovered on the school grounds, all ties lead to a huge pool of potential suspects including former students and teachers and maybe even a janitor with mob ties. too many suspects with skeletons in their closets are likely to lie to the police and the case could easily go unsolved.
luckily, danny's 20 year reunion is coming up, so he is asked by the local pd to go undercover and secretly question his classmates because they are more likely to spill the secrets if they don't know they are being investigated, as people love to gossip at this kind of events.
danny initially didn't want to go to the reunion which bummed steve out because he was hoping to tag along and get some of the high school experience he had missed out on, and maybe find out some more about danny's life before they met.
steve: i don't get why you hate the idea so much.
danny: i know my wicked good looks and charming personality may lead you to believe i was popular in high school, but that was not the case. of course, you wouldn't get it, i bet you had girls fighting to the death for the pleasure of going to prom with you.
steve: *looks down* we didn't have one at the academy.
danny: right, sorry, forgot you came off the conveyor belt at the factory fully formed. most of us regular flesh and blood humans don't wish to revisit the awkward teenage years. but that's a moot point right now, i gotta help my buddie at the newark pd.
and so steve ends up tagging along. for back-up, of course.
Tumblr media
(picture steve and danny standing in the ballroom at the reunion as danny explains to him the veritable who and who of his former classmates/suspects)
former prom queen: so where is the lovely mrs. williams?
danny: *looks at steve across the room talking to some people* he's over there. i let him keep his own name, because i'm nice like that. babe?? come over here, don't make me look like a loser who came to his high school reunion by himself.
of course, steve plays along, even tho initially danny rejected the idea of posing as a couple but he understands that being divorced already makes danny feel like a failure on his own, he doesn't want to give the former mean girls material to make fun of him some more. especially because danny has told him he had asked one of them to prom and not only did she laugh she told all of her friends and they all agreed he was punching above his weight.
truth be told steve is all too happy to escape the unwanted attention of soccer mums and some of their bi-curious husbands that were circling him like a bunch of hungry vultures. he would much rather be danny's pretend husband (if it's as close as he gets to the real thing)
everyone cooes over steve and danny, even tho danny knows most of them would not have been this progressive in the 90s, so he privately sneers at what a bunch of hypocrites they are. a part of him, however, enjoys the clear jealous looks of former beauty queens turned soccer mums and bitter divorcées, because yes, he, danny williams, can pull a gorgeous navy seal, whom all of them tried to hit on when they first came on scene, so who's punching about his weight now, brenda?
eventually, they find the information they need, as well as reveal a bunch of other unrelated secrets, and there's even an impressive suspect take-down. danny is grateful that steve helped him get through this unpleasant reunion and vows to somehow make up for one milestone steve had missed out on.
steve: ready to go home?
danny: not quite yet. the principal scheduled a do-over dance after that whole fiasco, and i wondered maybe you would like to go with me? it's not exactly prom but ...
steve: *is touched* i would be lucky to go with you.
danny: who says you are getting lucky after?
steve: *blushes* i didn't mean ...
danny: relax, who knows where the night takes us, i always wanted to make out with the quarterback under the bleachers *he winks*
steve assumed danny was joking (he wasn't) but they still spent a nice evening. they didn't have to maintain the cover anymore but neither felt like ruining the fantasy so they even slow danced to 'i'll stand by you' by the pretenders. if only had steve requested another '95 hit - bon jovi's 'always' danny would have proposed on the spot, but alas, they were still bound by restrictive tv gods.
