“  WELL  ,  NOW  ...  ISN’T THIS A TAD AWKWARD  :  I had intended, or rather suspected and anticipated, that I would never see you again.”  Awkwardly does the Cheshire stand before Alice, a waning smile ‘pon his face. Last he’d seen him, he’d thrown him over the edge of his pirate ship with the intent of dying. Suffice to say  ...  he’s very much alive, if short one hand.  “Fancy seeing you at port, ducky.”

have some random headcanons if you please
i feel like asher’s the obvious type to smile whilst kissing his partner but i also entertain the idea that david does it too, especially if he’s had a shit day prior
avior has sharp teeth ,,
when walking beside sunshine, elliott holds out his hand with his palm facing them for them to hold. (sunshine finds it funny that he doesn’t verbally ask, but instead asks thru this gesture)
blake did his nails black like last month and they’re all chipped and shitty now but he doesn’t really care
gavin wears gold
touch starved? anton, obviously. less obviously, james (is all over his partner when he gets home /nsx)
lasko owns one of those huge fucking american ass water bottles that holds SO much fucking water.
when at work, guy actively seeks things that remind him of his partner (and it’ll be the weirdest shit, too)
vincent owns/owned one of those ‘kiss the cook’ aprons (lovely does/did always take him up on such a thing)
big hands aaron . aaron w big hands. hands ? aaron
i like to think hush sits on chairs like L (from death note) does … accurate? no. funny? yes.

— PART 23 / previous post / masterpost
“Would you be able to send this letter to the address written on it? Personally?”
The girl you saved is named Ester, and without fail, people whose lives have been saved often feel indebted to their savior, so you know it would be right to have a little faith in her when you give her this task.
And as expected, she’s nodding without question and goes on her merry way.
It was the first thing you asked of her after all, because when you told her you had no need for the help she wanted to offer you with the injuries you sustained at the party along with wanting to help you feel comfortable in Alexander’s mansion, you could tell she was immediately angsty and in need of wanting to do anything you asked of her.
Nice girls like her often get taken advantage of.
Well, that’s none of your problem.
You take care of yourself with the treatment Ester provided for you, treating the cuts from where the bullets managed to wheeze past you, and bandaging yourself up before leaving the room provided for you.
Little Kiwi comes barking at your feet before you even reach the grand living room and despite not one to give or show affection, you pick the little thing up albeit reluctantly.
“Kid, isn’t it about time you head to sleep? And don’t lick me again, please, that’s quite rude.”
You hear a gentle chuckle from a familiar deep voice and finally walk into the living room to find both Alexander and Asher already there.
“Dogs don’t necessarily understand rudeness, though he listens to you quite well,” Alexander notes at the obedient puppy in your arms. He doesn’t wiggle around or bark and remains nestled where you hold him. When you take your seat on the sofa with a small space between you and Asher, the old man speaks again. “I heard you refused treatment from my people.”
You clear your throat awkwardly. “Forgive me, I’m not used to foreign touches.”
He knows you don’t mean “foreigners” per se and narrows his gaze slightly, possibly out of curiosity. “You have quite the skills, young lady, for having an unknown name.”
“My name is Y/N,” you tell him, sitting up. “I am a Reaper, the Grim Reaper of South Korea. My father passed away about a year ago, he was a good friend of your son Karl.”
“Karl.” He rubs his chin thinking about it. “So why have you come to Norway? To meet up with Karl?”
“Karl and I have never been that close, sir.” Of course not, you hate that man. Seeing his face alone will make you want to punch him but you know better than that. So keeping yourself calm, you look away to the side where the windows are, covered by pretty rose gold curtains. “I came here because I quite like the way the sun never sets during this time. It brings me peace.”
“You’re on vacation?” He raises a brow, doubtful, and looks toward Asher for confirmation but the man just shrugs without giving him an answer.
“You could say that,” you reply, and the old man clears his throat.
“It takes someone special to dodge all those bullets without managing any fatal injuries,” he returns to the topic of the matter as he leans back into his seat, an ankle propped onto a knee. “My son never mentioned someone like you, or his good friend.”
“The skills I acquired were not from my father, sir.”
“So you had a different master?”
“I was trained by a Yakuza master. He goes by the name Kitagawa Daisuke.”
Kitagawa Daisuke. Anyone who lives in the darkness knows the name. It’s almost like saying Shakespeare and an immediate ding pops into one's head. Your master is that famous in the underground world.
“No wonder..” Alexander looks at you with fascination now, a small crooked smile curling along his lips, eyes brightening. He knows not just anyone can call themself a disciple of Kitagawa Daisuke and it just further proves a point as to how dangerous the mission will be when you finally go up against your master. That is, if time will allow it. Who knows if you’ll even survive this mission.
You’re just dancing around with death at this point and he’s leading the moves.
“Now that you mention it, you have a sort of aura that you exude in the way I’ve seen with Master Kita. You live up to his name, no disciple of his would have let the enemies’ move confuse her.”
He must be talking about how you managed to recognize the motives of the enemies when you realize the focus was not on Alexander himself but his grandson, Asher Larsen. 
You give the man a small glance before looking down at the puppy who’s now slowly dozing off in your lap. You give him a small scratch behind the ear, doting on him a bit. Who would have thought even the enemies knew the life of a dog mattered more to Alexander than his own grandson.
So Asher was right when he said Alexander doesn’t have favorites, which means that if someone does manage to gain his favor, it wouldn’t just be in your favor but you’d have more eyes on your back more than before.
Sounds like a headache.
But it’s the only way you can get rid of Karl. Because if you gain Alexander’s favor, it’ll mean he won’t blink an eye when you tell him you want his own son dead.
“Master told me to always keep my senses heightened no matter the situation.”
He hums at the answer and in a way, you hope this little attention you’ve gained from Alexander is enough to gain a bit of his favor. They say Alexander doesn’t like people who deliberately kiss up someone’s shoes to get to where they want. He’s probably had enough of those people. He also likes people who have a backbone and knows how to protect themselves.
“How would you like to be my new caretaker for Kiwi?” The proposal Alexander gives has your head perked up his way, feeling a bit dumbfounded and surprised, but he continues before you can reject or accept the offer. “You’re here on vacation, aren’t you? I’m sure Kiwi would love to continue seeing you until it’s time for you to return home.”
Perhaps he knows a bit of your plan. Perhaps he doesn’t. Either way, he’s giving you a great opportunity to remain seen by his side.
“I know it may sound a lot asking a mafia boss but I quite like you, Miss Y/N.”
“No, it’s quite alright,” you shake your head lightly and look down at the now sleeping puppy in your lap before giving Alexander the answer. “I’d gladly accept.”
He smiles, satisfied, and when he leaves after taking the sleeping puppy from you, you’re left alone with Asher who had been silent the whole exchange between you and Alexander.
“I’m impressed, that was quite the feat. No one’s ever gotten this far this fast.” When you look at the man who’s finally speaking up, there’s a small curl up his lips when he looks your way, and you guess this man is usually stoic for the most part. How great you’re earning a bit of favor from both the grandfather and the grandson.
“I guess it’s just in my nature to have people join my side.” You give him a simple reply, one he does not refute, and the day ends with that.
You don’t get a wink of sleep at all staying there in that mansion and you know it’s because you’re in an unfamiliar place. You’ve never been good at adapting to something new. It took some time for you to settle into the Bangtan manor when you first moved there years ago, but unlike how it was there and back at your own manor, Alexander’s mansion gives you some sort of comfort you’ve never had before.
It’s probably the fact that night never comes. Your room has windows placed at a good spot, where the sun seems to shine through even though there are clouds blocking part of it. It isn’t as bright as it was when you first arrived at the airport but when it still lights up the sky around three am, you’re grateful for being here, in Norway.
Norway is pretty in a way Korea has never been and being here, despite the mission you’re on, gives you a sense of peace and calmness Korea has never given you. It’s a foreign country and yet something about it, something about the sun not being allowed to set and give way to the stars and moon, to the darkness, you have the urge to stay here if you could. Forever if possible.
But peace can never truly stay forever as long as you live this life.
You have people to go after, a revenge plot you’re on. Maybe when everything is over, if you manage to survive in the end and meet your last victim without dying, maybe then you can return here.
But first comes earning Alexander’s favor.
“You’re going to be in charge of taking care of his dog?” Hoseok’s face is a bit comical when you relay them the news once morning comes and you arrive back at the place Namjoon has provided for you. “Just what do you know about taking care of dogs?”
“Not much,” you admit as you scroll through your phone in hopes of learning, “but Alexander’s given me a bit of trust so I might as well take the opportunity. Ah, speaking of,” you put your phone down for a second, looking between the two Bangtan men, “don’t the two of you have some experience in taking care of dogs? You’ll teach me, then.”
It��s a request that comes out of nowhere, especially after just dropping the bomb on them, but it’s not like there’s anything else they can really do.
Namjoon sent them here in support for you and despite the awkward air around each of you, you’re one to ignore all signs and pretend everything is and has always been alright.
“Well an important part of a dog’s routine is taking walks,” Jungkook speaks up after being quiet for a while. His brows are slightly furrowed, thinking. “Mr. Larsen has actually given you quite the task.”
He’s right.
Taking a dog out on walks means being out in the open air where enemy eyes are everywhere. If last night proves that Kiwi serves more purpose to Alexander than his own grandson — and the enemies know that — then being the dog sitter isn’t just any mere maid’s job.
They have to be smart, agile, quick, and strong because they’re looking after what equals an heir.
You’re basically Kiwi’s bodyguard.
“Maybe this is his way of testing me.” It has to be. He couldn’t just have trusted a random stranger to take care of something that clearly means a lot to him. Though that begs the question as to why.
Is it because you mentioned Kitagawa as your master? He’s quite well known after all, and well respected at that.
Still, something’s a little weird.
But if you’re trying to get close to the old man, you might as well take advantage of this while not forgetting to remain cautious.
No one can ever be trusted fully. There is always an ulterior motive behind one’s action.
“I have a question, sir.” When you return to the manor a little later that day, the first person you go to is Alexander, who easily allows you into his proximity just minutes after you asked for his time. You thought initially it’d be a while until you get your reply, after all, he’s a Godfather who’s probably busy with all sorts of things, which is why it’s surprising the reply came so soon and was received well.
His butler didn’t lead you to an office, rather, you found yourself walking into a pretty greenhouse that sort of reminds you of the one back at home.
It’s massive in size though, that’s a difference, but you can clearly tell it’s being taken care of well in the way your Reapers takes care of your greenhouse.
“One moment, Miss Y/N.”
Alexander has his back turned to you when you find him towards a corner, with a water can in hand as he personally feeds the plants the amount of water needed with a serene expression on his face.
Kiwi, who had followed you when you were led by the butler, walks over to respectfully nuzzle against his master’s foot.
“Pretty, aren’t they?” The old man comments with a smile once he’s done watering the plants and places the can back in its place.
“It’s a surprise you’re able to keep them alive here,” you utter as you take another look around at the greens all around you. “I have one back in Korea, though my Reapers take care of them.”
Alexander takes a seat on a bench and Kiwi jumps over to lay on his lap. “Taking care of things personally brings me peace.”
“...Does it, now?” In a world where things are always chaotic, you suppose having somewhere to go to for peace is ideal. “I don’t have a greenhouse for personal taste though.”
“Do you grow poison?” He asks and there’s really no use lying.
“Amongst other things.”
He falls silent for a moment, a serene silence, and it’s strange the way he looks at you in a way no one’s ever done before. You’ve seen creepy old men before, met a couple of them personally against your will, but Alexander doesn’t remind you much of them. He stands out further, but in a way that isn’t bad at all and for some reason that brings you another sort of uncomfortable feeling you don’t think you’ve ever felt before. 
It’s strange and foreign, and perhaps he understands the effect he’s made on you because he lets out a light chuckle.
“I used to be just like you, little one.”
Your brows furrow at his words, confused. “I’m not sure I know what you mean, sir.”
“Always in a rush, never stopping to revel in the scenery.”
Because there’s no time for that. Time doesn’t wait for anyone and the enemies certainly don't. You’ve finally gained some sort of peace after your father’s death but even then, letting yourself go in order to be free from the chains isn’t exactly as easy as one may think.
You’re rushing because you want to reach peace, because you want a moment in time when things finally slows down and you’re okay with it, with the clocks existing, with the time ticking.
Peace doesn’t come to just anyone willingly.
“You’re anxious,” Alexander notes and perhaps you’re uncomfortable because he sees through a part of you that only people you allow in sees.
This is why you hate old people.
They can tell so easily because they’ve been through things.
“If I let time catch up on me, there will be nothing left in front of me.”
“Is that what you believe?” He asks, a hand running through Kiwi’s fur as the little dog begins to fall asleep. “What if what you want is already in front of you? Perhaps you just don’t want to face it because you’re afraid.”
Afraid?
Afraid of what?
But maybe he’s right. Maybe you know exactly what he’s talking about.
“You’re running away.”
Yes.
This man certainly does make you uncomfortable.
Not like the creeps, not like Leehyun, but not like Mister Butler either. Though in a way, there’s something familiar that you sense in him in the way you’ve felt with Mister Butler. As if he has a window to see through your soul.
But you’re sure not all old people know everything. They can only guess from what they’ve been given and seen.
You decide to keep your guard up.
“The question you wanted to ask,” perhaps he felt you trying to run from him so he changes the subject, “What was it?”
Right.
“When I take Kiwi out on walks, I’m sure you realize there may be people out there who will take advantage of those times. I don’t know the streets well and I don’t know who means well and who wants Kiwi dead. So I wanted to ask; the people that decide to come after me during Kiwi’s walk time, do you want them dead or alive when I bring them to you?”
So blunt and straight to the point, Alexander chuckles at that, amused.
“I’m sure a disciple of Master Kita will come to understand who poses a threat and who doesn't. I don’t care about the lives of those who want my little puppy dead. It doesn’t matter who they are, if they come after him, kill them. After all,” his eyes are gentle when he looks down at the puppy, though there’s a glint of danger that flashes in the light of his eyes, “only people with evil hearts will want to hurt an innocent puppy.”
Evil hearts. What a strange way to put it that way.
You get too curious not to ask; “Do you believe we aren’t evil? A little kid might subject us to the same category as them. We all kill after all. It doesn’t matter what, it doesn’t matter who. Killers are all evil in the eyes of some.”
He doesn’t think much on it when he answers your question. “In my eyes, many of us, like you and I, kill only for survival.” You and I, he says. “If an apocalypse were to happen, you’d kill a zombie for survival, wouldn’t you? You wouldn’t just it bite you and you certainly wouldn’t let them bite someone you care for. You’d kill them. For survival.”
He looks up, eyes as clear as day. “This business we’re in…we’re in the same boat.”
Killing to survive.
Killing because there is no other choice.
You don’t think you’ve ever met a man like him who seems so sentimental on life as if a part of him is satisfied with what he’s gone through but he also holds some regret, things he knows beyond you, years he’s lived more than you, and has gained wisdom from all the experience.
No one from this business has ever looked in the same lens as he does on life and you hate it.
You hate how it makes you feel.
So you drop the subject and leave the greenhouse, feeling that creepy sense of goosebumps on your body as you go.
When Kiwi wakes from his nap a little after, he comes to find you and you take him out on the walk you promised him before that meeting with Alexander.
The walk is nice, the scenery different from that of Seoul, and the breath of fresh air it allows you to intake with a piece of mind helps you remain calm and collected. Kiwi walks beside you without a leash, his little feet taking you down the paths as if he’s done this a thousand times before, with his little nose curious at every little thing around him.
He doesn’t ever stray away and you guess perhaps even the little one understands the dangers of what it means to be himself. In all honesty, you prefer cats over dogs but you have to admit this isn’t so bad — well, being in Norway helps, you guess.
In Seoul, the streets wouldn’t forgive you for taking a walk so carefreely like this.
But of course, Norway has its own dangers. You are taking care of a prominent figure of a powerful mafia after all.
For the most part, you had been following Kiwi and letting him guide you where his nose leads him, but when the two of you come towards a lake where lies a bridge at the center, the little puppy suddenly stops in his tracks, sniffs the air, before retracing back to you.
Your brows furrow slightly when he steps up to your feet, hiding in between them, and when you hear a small noise out of the ordinary and look up with a calm gaze at the sudden new presence that has now surround the both of you, an exasperated sigh leaves you.
So much for peace and quiet.
“Hey lady, what’re you doing with that dog?” A man asks in Norwegian.
“Dog sitting,” you reply in English.
They look amongst one another, confusion plastered on their faces probably because they’ve never seen you around before and when Kiwi grinds his teeth and growls lowly at them, you put a foot closer to him, trying to ease the little puppy.
“What happened to the old sitter? Dead?” He speaks up again, a brow raised your way. Perhaps he’s testing your ability to understand him so when he speaks in his language, you continue replying in English with perfect understanding of one another.
“Not dead. I’m just a temporary sitter.”
“And who are you? I’ve never seen you around Alexander before.”
“Just a common girl.” You take a small step back seeing the way he reaches for something in his pockets.
“You should know that the streets are dangerous.”
A little chuckle leaves you. “I wouldn’t be trusted with Alexander’s dog if I didn’t know that, now would I? Still, that’s a very bad idea,” you beckon at the gun he pulls out. “You wouldn’t want to do that.”
The corner of his lip curls upwards as he brings his gun forward to his face, playing with it just as his friends start to close in on you. “And why not? Are you afraid, little common girl?”
“Afraid?” You tilt your head back, laughing. “No, no, it’s not me who should be afraid.” He sends you a furrow in his brows at the way you look so relaxed and so you go on. “Alexander has already given me permission to eliminate anyone who poses a threat, which means I don’t have to go easy on you or spare your lives.”
“Really?” He scoffs, taunting you. “One against seven, you really think a little girl like you can take us?”
“Oh no, I’m not talking about me, though you’d be surprised I can totally take you.”
“What?”
“You should learn to heighten your senses, old man, maybe then you’d realize we aren’t the only ones here.” With that signal, someone from the group has their neck slashed from behind and another one gets shot right in the head. 
One by one, they fall as you calmly pick up the scared little dog and stroke along his head to calm him down. He leans into your touch as the two of you ignore what’s happening around you, and once he finally seems alright again, you turn back to where Jungkook and Hoseok are standing, the enemies all dead on the ground.
You take one glance down at the dead bodies before checking the time on your watch. “I’ll inform Alexander and have his people clean this up,” you say as you reach for your phone. “Meanwhile, would one of you like to accompany me back to his mansion? Take on the role Taehyung took back at London?”
Jungkook comes along while Hoseok stays back and the walk back for the most part lies in silence.
Drama only occurs once you return to the mansion, hearing the sound of a familiar voice you haven’t heard in some time now. He shouts angrily you hear it through the halls and when you walk into the living room, you find Karl Larsen with three of his men behind him, reprimanding poor little Ester with Asher standing off to the side, looking bored and exasperated of his uncle.
No one stops him.
“Are you that incompetent? Just how useless are you that my father has to choose a stranger to take over your job? I told you to keep an eye on that mutt and you can’t even do that?”
Huh. Who would have thought Ester was actually Karl’s servant who had been assigned to look over Kiwi before you came in to take over temporarily? Though from the looks of it, when she cowers in fear under his demands, her head lowered, eyes tightly shut, shoulders trembling slightly, she doesn’t like this man so much.
Who does after all?
But she did look a lot more carefree living in this manor, looking after Kiwi under Alexander’s commands. Alexander isn’t known to bring just anyone in to work for him, which means Ester managed to gain his trust. He’s good at knowing who to trust, he wouldn’t just be easily swayed by his own blood’s opinions, so if given the chance, you believe that Ester wouldn’t hesitate to betray Karl.
She’s a sweet girl, you don’t doubt that.
Asher on the other hand, you aren’t too sure if a man like him deserves the benefit of the doubt.
He senses your presence though, unlike Karl and his men, and when he looks up to meet your eyes from the entryway of the living room, he stands up a little more straight, a small curl turning upwards upon the corner of his lips.
Maybe he’s just bored with petty family affairs and has no say in what his uncle wants or does. Family positions are important in the mafia after all.
“Where is she? The new girl?” Karl’s voice snaps back, his eyes bulging and you step towards them despite Jungkook’s caution, knowing the signs of that man. “Bring her to me now, you useless—”
His hand raises in the air and before it can come down at the young girl’s head, you grab his wrist mid-air with your left hand, stopping him successfully. “If you’re really that upset about the change, why don’t you bring it up to your father, spoiled old man?”
His brows furrow tightly when he looks your way initially, before his expression begins to cool and soften when he realizes just who it is that dared to stop him from punishing his subordinate. The strength of his arm weakens and he brings it back to his side, fixing the cuff of his suit, while a smirk plays on his lips as he keeps his gaze on you.
“Y/N,” the way he says your name makes you want to vomit and though for a second looking at that familiar, disgusting smirk on his face causes your mind to want to resurface the memories of all the things he’s done, you keep them back in, focusing on other things to not trigger it. “Look at you, you’ve grown so much since the last time I saw you. What are you doing here in Norway? Came to pay me a visit?”
He doesn’t know what happened to your father, you realize through those words, which is a bit surprising because of how close the two of them were, but then again, after the wipe of your father and his people, it kind of makes sense Karl never got word of your father’s death.
Both Asher and Jungkook are confused about the way Karl is acting so friendly and close to you, as well as the way he just naturally turns his attention from being angry at Ester to invite you to take a seat.
You follow him and settle Kiwi in your lap and see the way he glances at the puppy, a slight bitterness contouring his features before it disappears all too quickly.
He doesn’t like Kiwi, that much is clear, and with the way he addresses you, you can tell this man still thinks you of the naive little girl who would submit to just anyone without fighting back.
“Your words are a lot sharper than they used to be,” he notes, remembering the way you spoke to him. “Seems you’re finally growing into the woman that your father trained you to be.”
With a hand stroking the fur of Kiwi’s, you take a look at his three men. One of them is someone you recognize, the other two are completely new faces.
“Tell me then, how have you been since I left Seoul?”
One year, he came and left — not even one year but a summer, four months — and that was all it took for him to do all the things he’d done.
“I have news to give you, sir,” you say and he tsks at you.
“Come on now, call me what you used to call me. We were close, weren’t we? Don’t treat me like a stranger now, Y/N.”
He puts a hand on your shoulder and you bite your tongue back, resisting the urge to run from his touch. So with a tight grin, you give him the news he’s been needing to catch up on. “I am the Grim Reaper now..uncle.”
That amused expression on his face falls slightly, masked with surprise and confusion, and he takes one look at Jungkook who stands guard behind you, before returning his gaze back on you, flabbergasted.
“Your father’s dead?” He breathes, not believing it. “Why didn’t anyone tell me? How’d he die?”
Telling him the truth now would lead to an outburst from him and you can’t have Jungkook seeing that. Karl is a madman and if he knows of the truth here before strangers outside his and your people, he will definitely forget about the way your true relationship with your father is supposed to be kept a secret from the public.
“I apologize, uncle, preparations for his funeral and my succession took longer than expected.” Jungkook knows those words aren’t true but thankfully he knows to keep quiet.
“I could have helped,” Karl insists and you give him a pressed smile.
It’s strange the way he can’t comprehend just why the daughter of his friend whom he’s hurt many times did not want him involved in her family affairs, but you guess the minds of psychopaths are just like that. They can understand human emotions but they cannot feel them, and so they cannot emphasize with others.
“Do you not remember all the things you’ve done to me?” You want to ask him. “Do you not recall what you and father had done? Why would I want your help?” But you bite your tongue back just as Kiwi stirs from your touch, probably sensing a change in you.
The more you face the people who have done you wrong, the harder it is to keep the facade, you realize. Namjoon once said to stop before it all breaks you and you told him broken things cannot be broken even more but perhaps they can.
They can.
You’ve reached your breaking point before, not just once or twice, and yet it seems the world has just proven to you that glass can keep shattering and shattering until there is nothing left but dust.
Are you prepared to turn into dust?
You are. You’ve said it before.
“A broken glass can never mend itself to the way it used to be, the only thing it can do is break even more.”
You were prepared, your body was, but is your mind prepared? Will your mind ever be prepared?
No one is ever prepared to be broken, even if they think they are, and breaking again and again does not make you numb to the pain.
Kiwi whimpers on your lap, his head nuzzling into the palm of your hand when you stop stroking him. They say that dogs can smell human emotions and in turn, adopt them as their own, and hearing the distress whimpers, you try to return to Karl and give him a reply and yet nothing happens. You can’t even open your mouth to speak. You feel frozen on the spot.
Why now? Why now, whynow, whynow,whynowwhynow?
Footsteps are heard upon the silence of the room. “What’s making my Kiwi sound like that?” A low rumble demands an answer but you remain still, unable to move.
You feel paralyzed.
Kiwi looks up at his master’s voice for a second before going back to nuzzle against you and lend you his warmth, and while the people in the room stand up straight at his presence, Karl even going up to greet his father, you remain planted on the sofa.
Alexander ignores Karl to walk over to where his puppy is. He takes a glance your way, with Asher confused and Jungkook concerned and a little panicked because of the state you’re in, but rather than making this a big deal and reprimanding you for causing his puppy to sound the way he does, Alexander instead remains calm.
“Come here, Kiwi,” he calls, and though the pup hesitates at first, looking between you and his master, he eventually jumps up and into Alexander’s arms. “Karl, I’ll deal with you later. Right now I’m too busy to entertain guests.”
Though Karl looks like he wants to protest at first, he nods in reply, knowing he cannot talk back to his father. You were hoping he’d just leave it at that and go ahead with his men but for some reason, he just has to turn to you.
“My deepest condolences, Y/N. Let’s have tea to catch up next time, yeah?” Unable to grasp the situation, he reaches out to place a hand on your cheek, a smile on his face, before he arches his back straight again to bid Alexander goodbye.
In that moment, you stand, though it’s only because staying on that couch feels disgusting now having to sit still and do nothing when he reached out to touch you. You hate the touch, it burns you, but you remain silent when you stand a little behind Alexander, nodding Karl goodbye, and only once he leaves does the room feel a little easier to breathe in.
Just a little.
.
.
.
“Should I call Mingyu?” Jungkook asks when you return to the room Alexander prepared for you that first night you met him. He watches you with keen eyes and observance as you walk further into the room, away from the door, eyes still refusing to look anyone in the eyes, silent with a blank expression. “Or..should I leave the room?”
You don’t give him an answer but you’re thinking.
How far is it from here to the manor Namjoon prepared for you? A couple of minutes away by vehicle, which means it wouldn’t be that difficult for him to come here. But him coming here would mean a hassle because then you’d have to let the people here know that Mingyu’s one of yours and you don’t feel like interacting with anyone right now. A letter in your handwriting wouldn’t suffice either because they don’t know your handwriting.
You could honestly call Ester and describe Mingyu’s face to tell her he’s with you but that would mean interacting.
Jungkook could leave the room and yet the thought of him leaving gives a small dread in the pits of your stomach because you hate being alone and left in an unfamiliar place and right now he’s the only thing that’s familiar to you.
Familiar.
How funny that this familiar person left you to fend for yourself and gave you his cold shoulders when you needed him most.
And yet there’s no other choice.
So just like back in London when you familiarized yourself with Seokjin’s warmth and kindness for that split second, you turn around to face Jungkook.
He stands far from you, having not moved from the door since the two of you walked in, and a part of you hates that despite what he’s done to you, you know Jungkook is a man with natural kindness and would never do anything that would harm you on purpose. You see it in the way he keeps his distance, in the two questions he asked, how he doesn’t try to approach you, that unlike Karl who doesn’t know how to take a hint, he understands your fear of being touched by men even though you did allow Yoongi to hold you and poked Seokjin slightly on the shoulder.
He respects your boundaries. He always had, he always did.
So why did it have to end with him giving you the cold shoulders and pretending he hated you? Why did things have to turn out the way it did?
You’re so tired. Tired of everything.
“Come here,” you call for him, and you hate how even when you give him permission to come close, he still hesitates, concerned for the state of your mind.
When he approaches, his steps are slow, and once he’s inches away from you, you hold out the palm of your hand.
“I want you to help me with something,” you say, “you don’t have to do much, just..stay still and…and give me your hand.”
His brows are knitted, eyes staring down at your palm as if this isn’t a good idea. “I’m sorry,” he tells you, feeling conflicted. “Hoseok should have been here, we should have switched places. He would’ve been a better choice in—”
“I know Hoseok would have been the better choice but we can’t turn back time now can we?!” Your patience is starting to wear thin and when he flinches a little at the way you raise your voice, your own eyes widen at what you’d just done. Shocked at how easy it was to lose control, and when you begin to spiral out of fear for raising your voice at him, you put your hands in your hair, trembling.
“I’m sorry, please just…just help me, Jungkook. You have to replace what he did. I hate it, I hate his touch, and right now I’d rather feel your touch than his so please…please?” You look up at him, not caring that you’re pleading and looking desperate.
When he sees it, sees the way your eyes gloss over with a glaze of water, at your panicked tone and your begging for his help, he gives you his hand.
You take it and press his palm onto your cheek, over that burning feeling from where Karl touched you, and the peace that you yearned for doesn’t come right away. You struggle for a bit and your legs almost give in from the weakness but Jungkook’s right there to hold you up and bring you over to the bed so that you don’t have to rely on your legs. 
He remains standing before you, watching as you rest your eyes while keeping his hand pressed to your skin.
It takes some time for the storm to wash away and for the calm to walk over but it comes, eventually, and when it does come, it isn’t in the way it is with Mingyu. Jungkook doesn’t give you the sort of calm that your second in command gives you, though you expected it because no one can replace Mingyu’s warmth.
The sort of calm Jungkook gives you follows with pain and grief over what had been lost all those years ago.
His warmth, his presence, his puppy-like self following you around, willing to do anything and everything for you. He’d always been such a quiet man who follows the rules well, who does everything with great effort, who is sometimes too naive and gets roped up in Jimin’s antics and gets scolded for things he didn’t do.
Always there to lend you his jacket when you shivered in the slightest way, always there to protect you from anyone that bothered you, noticing the smallest things, and though you relied on him for a lot of things, he relied on you in turn as well.
You understood him in ways the others couldn’t, the two of you in love like those two innocent little kids who were finding out what it meant to love someone for the first time. Soft and gentle, a bit awkward and clumsy.
“They didn’t have the drink that you like but I got you…” He walks back with a hand holding onto a glass of something for you to drink, but in the middle of his sentence, Jungkook’s expression falls. “...Something happened.”
Immediately, he’s shifting his head around to try and find who it was that approached you tonight but before he can get too far, you’re grabbing ahold of his arm and pulling his attention back on you. 
“It…nothing happened,” you insist with a bit of panic on your expression, afraid of what Jungkook might do out in public like this, all the while trying to see if you can catch of glimpse of Namjoon anywhere on the floor. Thankfully he isn’t around, otherwise he’d be able to also tell something was wrong with one look your way.
There are days when hiding your emotions are easy and there are other days when it’s a little more difficult. Like on the days when people make you uncomfortable and you just can’t seem to hide it well. Those days are hard.
And Jungkook, who looks back at you, clearly doesn’t buy your little protest. “Y/N, I need you to just point out—”
“Please.” You squeeze his biceps, holding yourself close to him, pleading with your eyes as you look up at him, and Jungkook immediately recognizes just what those eyes are trying to tell him;
‘Don’t leave me alone.’
You’re frightened, he realizes, and after a small look around the room to check his surrounding, he brings you in close to him and keeps you by his side as he takes your hand and brings you around to an empty space where the two of you can be left alone together.
“Is there anything you need?” Is the first thing he asks you as he sits you down on a seat in the empty room, but you simply shake your head and squeeze his hand tight.
“Just you,” you say in a quiet voice, and Jungkook stays with you that night without ever leaving your side, all the while you simply hold onto the touch of his hand, the feel of it a comfort unlike any other.
His touch reminds you of those memories, of the past and the tears and the smiles, and though you hate the pain that it resurfaces, you’d rather revel in this pain than the pain of remembering the memories with Karl.

Headcanons for the Shaw Pack’s Favorite Clothing Accessories
David: His gold wristwatch that was a gift from Gabe. The watch commemorated David officially taking on the role of Gabe’s beta.
Angel: Their sunglasses. No matter the weather, Angel optimistically wears their sunglasses (whether on their face or on their head) because they always love to be prepared for sunny, warm weather.  
Asher: A gold-and-blue striped necktie. Asher had purchased the tie in preparation for proposing to Babe. Since that plan didn’t go as he expected, Asher has decided to wear the tie to the wedding. 
Babe:  A pair of red jeans that Babe always wears on casual Fridays. Red jeans are not exactly what someone who knows them would expect, which is exactly why Babe incorporated the jeans into their wardrobe. It’s empowering for them to see how they pull off the bold look when they catch a glimpse in the mirror.
Milo: His plaid winter scarf. Marie knitted the scarf for Milo when he was young. He was much too small for the scarf at the time, but Marie promised that one day, he’d grow into the scarf. Now an adult who has come into his own, Milo wears the scarf proudly. 
Sweetheart: A green, zip-up, long-sleeve jacket that shows the D.U.M.P. logo embroidered on the front with “Dahlia Division” embroidered in white lettering on their sleeve. The jacket fits Sweetheart sharply, is super-duper comfortable, and acts as a little reminder that they are in a position to enact so much potential good. 
Darling: A Shaw Pack insignia pin Asher gave them after they attended their first pack meeting since returning to Dahlia. Darling takes care to move the pin to their messenger bag, hat, coat, or whatever they are wearing because they like to have that physical denotation that they belong to their pack. 
Sam: A pair of thick, brown work gloves Sam has had since he was human. It’s one of the few pieces of clothing from his time as a human that  (unintentionally) serve as blackout-clothing that protects his now-vampiric skin from the sun. 
-Bonus-
Gabe: His famous leather jacket. He wore it every chance he got. He was even wearing it the day he met his mate. 
Marie: Her yellow-and-black printed purse. It somehow goes with every outfit and holds absolutely anything and everything anyone around her could need. A pen? A snack? A bottle of water? Hand sanitizer? A safety pin? Marie’s got all of that and more inside this purse.

KAYDENGARETH HEADCANNONS
I like to think their book could've been called God of Misery. Why? I don't know. It just sounds cool.
Gareth has extreme OCD. As children, Killian used to mess with his things, hide them or displace them from their original place which made him develop an obsessiveness with knowing where all his things were kept.
Kayden inhales copious amounts of black coffee in a day. I'm talking 8-9 ventis.
Gareth is blackmailed convinced by Kayden to become his teaching assistant.
Kayden wanted easy access and to have tabs on Gareth the whole time, but it backfires when Gareth organizes his entire schedule, all his coursework and makes additional notes for him to go over.
Kayden is a tie hoarder. Navy blue, scarlet red, violet, turquoise, beige, you name it, he has it.
Asher thinks he's Gareth's inspiration to become a lawyer, but Gareth watched Suits.
Kayden wears suspenders.
Gareth's aim is better than most Heathens, even Jeremy. But he doesn't enjoy hurting people. The accuracy with which he throws a pencil at a teacher flirting with Kayden is impressive.
He's equally good at fleeing situations.
Kayden is the kind of professor who challenges his students to do something ridiculous to get out of writing the final exam. His students think he's cool, but Gareth knows he just hates grading papers.
Gareth's handicap in golf is +1. He has been his grandfather's golfing buddy for ages.
Kayden has a license to fly planes. Don't ask him how he got it though.
Yes, they join the mile high club.
Gareth is extremely good with cheating at card games much to Kayden's chagrin during strip poker.
Kayden is acquaintances by association with Kyle, Gareth's uncle.
Gareth has lost count of the number of times he's caught himself drooling every time Kayden takes his suit jacket off.
Kayden is more flirtatious by nature but sometimes Gareth says suggestive things that make him speechless. Most times, Gareth does it accidentally.
Kayden: *complaining about how his body is aching from sitting in a chair all day* Gareth: I can help you relax if you'd like. Kayden: Gareth: Kayden: Gareth: I have a massage therapist license.
Gareth wears reading glasses because he is a reader by nature. He can read instructions off a shampoo bottle day after day, year after year just to have something to read while he showers.
Kayden has to physically stop himself from reacting and ask for strength from greater forces the first time he sees Gareth pull out gold-rimmed glasses and put them on while he was helping grade assignments. He does fantasize about helping Gareth take the glasses and more off.
Killian is the last of the Heathens to find out about Gareth's involvement with his professor. And it's not in a fun manner.
He catches Kayden being pushy with his older brother, misunderstands and nearly pummels his face in.
He has to be thrown off Kayden who is one second away from rearranging his boyfriend's younger brother's face.
Killian is gaping when he puts two and two together about what is happening.
Before he can make a joke at his expense, Gareth gives him a look that dares him to say something or deal with consequences like never before. Killian stays quiet mostly because he's never seen that murderous look on his brother's face, no matter how far he pushed him.
"You can do better than him" he's telling Kayden as he leaves. "Not in this lifetime, no" Kayden responds, pulling Gareth closer.
Kayden participates in the initiation to pull an uno reverse and chase the green mask down. It makes some of the participants stop and stare in bewilderment.
Gareth is competitive to a fault. Like- I would edit an entire Wikipedia page to win an argument- competitive.
Kayden is not as competitive and doesn't particularly care about winning but he loves egging Gareth on till he gives him a reason to put his tie collection to good use (:
They have been caught in a situation where someone was knocking at the door to Kayden's office, opposite which they were making out.
Gareth watches Kayden roll his sleeves up with hawk eyes and almost groans in torture when he sees the protruding veins.
Once Kayden finds out about Gareth's obsession with watching him undress, he puts on a show every. single. time.
But then Gareth, Gareth with his long, slender fingers and perfectly cleaned, shaped and filed nails, helps undress him one time and Kayden is a goner.
Gareth wears a chain with Kayden's ring around his neck, something Kayden goes feral whenever he looks at. He's pulled Gareth closer with it on multiple occasions.
Kayden puts his hand on Gareth's thigh while driving.
Are Asher and Reina surprised when Gareth brings a boyfriend home? Yes. Do they care about the gender of their son's partner? No.
Even Kayden gets along better with Asher than Killian does.
Kayden is loved by Reina. Like she would adopt him the moment Asher looks away.
Killian never apologizes for what he said but he does ask Gareth if he'd like to go hunting together sometime. It's a truce that Gareth is more than happy to accept.
Kayden takes Gareth out flying to propose when they'd be over the crystal-clear waters and passing through clouds only to realize he forgot to bring the ring with him in his anxiety and haste.
He improvises and proposes to Gareth in bed, rehashing the entire thing making him laugh and accept.
Gareth then reaches into his nightstand and pulls out the ring he was planning to propose with.
"You can just pretend to be surprised tomorrow at your surprise proposal" Gareth is telling him between kisses. "I can pretend to do anything as long as I'm doing it with you."

Redacted characters as songs
A/n: this would have been angsty if it wasn’t 7:02 in the morning where I live and I haven’t slept. I only done this with a few characters cause my brain is fried currently, I have like 10 drafts I need to finish and post.

That’s what I like - Bruno Mars
Jump in the Cadillac, Girl let's put some miles on it, Anything you want just to put a smile on it, you deserve it baby, you deserve it all and I'm gonna give it to you.

Sam Collins:
Before he cheats - Carrie Underwood

Gavin:
Closer - Nine Inch Nails
‘I broke apart my insides, I've got no soul to sell, Help me, the only thing that works for me, Help me get away from myself.

Lasko:
For the First Time - Mac Demarco
‘While she's been away, Living day-to-day has been tough. Without her at my side, Simply being alive has been rough and though she won't be gone forever, There are many times I find it feels that way and I'm not trying to forget her just understand how I'll be feeling on that day. It's just like seeing her for the first time again’
Kody:
Pumped up kicks - foster the people
‘Robert's got a quick hand. He'll look around the room, but won't tell you his plan. He's got a rolled cigarette hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid, yeah he found a six-shooter gun in his dad's closet, and with a box of fun things I don't even know what But he's coming for you, yeah, he's coming for you. All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, You better run, better run outrun my gun. All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, You better run, better run faster than my bullet’

~Bandages~
Summary: Can Charlie bandage vaggies hand up from When lute stabbed her in the finale and vaggie age regresses?
Requested by Asher bowls of cereal on Ao3
The day had been exhausting. They had fought and defeated heaven in battle. Tons of exorcists verses a bunch of rando’s, the princess of hell, and all of cannibal town who weren’t even trained in combat. It was so tiring that all Vaggie wanted to do was go to sleep but the stabbing pain in her hand made it hard to make her brain sleepy. The hotel was wrecked so she couldn’t even rest. However, Lucifer offered to let them stay at his palace while they rebuilt the hotel. She would be able to fix up her wounds there. Surprisingly, not many wounds were sustained during the battle. Vaggie might’ve gotten the worst since she had a 1 on 1 battle with lute. Her nose and face still hurt from being smacked into a table two times.
As they were walking towards the palace, Vaggie remembered the feeling of the blade against her bones in her hand. It made her want to puke just rethinking about it. Now that the adrenaline was gone, she had to force herself not to cry out in pain. Gold blood leaked out from her glove and onto the ground as they walked.
Charlie’s dad quickly got everyone set up in their rooms so they could rest. Vaggie and Charlie were allowed to share so they got one of the master bedrooms. Vaggie immediately grabbed the first aid kit and tried to open it, but any sudden movement of her hand made her pain ten thousand times worse. She hissed in pain and dropped the kit, taking her glove off. Some fuzz from her glove made its way into her wounds. Charlie overheard and came rushing in.
“You okay?” she had a concerned look on her face that made Vaggie start to slip.
“Oh my god! What happened to your hand?!” Charlie rushed over and grabbed her hand, looking over it. She could see how deep the wound was. The flesh from the inside was easily seen through the golden blood and bits of it were starting to slowly peak up and out of her hand like little worms.
“Why didn’t you tell me about this?!” She said in a loud voice that kind of scared Aaggie. She was already teetering between headpsaces, now was not the time for yelling
“I w-was going to tell you-”
“Yeah, just like how you were going to tell me about being an angel and then waited until Adam spoiled it!” she bellowed. She was just really stressed. She had to try hard not to puke when looking at the ripped up flesh sticking out of her lover’s hand.
Vaggies lip quivered before she started bawling.. Charlie realized what she had just said and the tone and immediately took it all back. She also knew that if Vaggie started crying this easily from a little bit of yelling, she was slipping right into her little headspace. 
“Shit, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to yell, I’m just worried,” Charlie put a hand on her back and tried to soothe her. However, Vaggie kept crying. She already had so much on her mind as it is, as well as the pain, the yelling just made it worse.
“Sh, shh, I’m sorry, baby. I’m not mad,” Charlie promised, going over to her and giving her a side hug. She cried and cried and Charlie knew she needed to bandage her wound before it got infected. 
Since she was already crying, she decided to kill two birds with one stone and clean the wound so Vaggie wouldn’t have an intense headache from so much crying. She wailed when Charlie rubbed her hand with the cotton swab that had alcohol on it.
“I know it hurts, but I need to clean it,” She told her. 
By the time the bandage and gauze was wrapped around her hand, she was half asleep. She seemed to fall deeper into headspace too.
“Wan Bucky ‘nd paci,” she mumbled when Charlie was finished. Charlie didn;t have the heart to tell her that Bucky was… well gone. He was either blasted from existence due to Adam’s ray of disobeying the law of conservation of matter, or buried in rubble.
So Charlie pulled out her phone and quickly texted her dad.
<”Random question, can you summon a replica of Vaggie stuffed goat and purple pacifier? She’s regressed and asking for them”
Luckily, two moments later, Lucifer barged into the room, carrying three rubber ducks, an exact replica of Bucky, and a pacifier inside of a plastic case in his hands. He set them on the bed and walked into the bathroom. He saw Vaggie trying to curl up on the bathroom tile while Charlie was waiting for a text back. She turned around and saw him standing there.
“Oh, you’re here! Did you get the stuff?” she asked.
“Yup! Take good care of her,” he patted her shoulder before disappearing in his puff of smoke. He could’ve just used the door but it was more aesthetically pleasing to just disappear.
She realized how sweaty and kind of smelly Vaggie was, indicating that she hadn’t showered yet. Charlie showered right when they got there which was why she wasn’t all that smelly.
“You need a bath. I think there’s some bubbles,” Vaggie looked up happily at the mention of a bubble bath. She was still extremely tired but wanted to feel clean.
Charlie grabbed the rubber ducks from the bed and towel and began to fill the tub. After she made sure it was the right temperature and put the bubbles in, she helped undress Vaggie and put her in the tub. Luckily, she was very cooperative and didn’t even splash. She just played silently with the duckies and bubbles while Charlie washed her body and hair. She made quick work of it too because she didn’t want Vaggie to fall asleep in the tub either.
When she was done, she took out Vaggie before drawing the tub because she knew how scared she was of the drain. She took out the toys before pulling the plug out too. Couldn’t risk any of them getting stuck. That would make both Lucifer and Vaggie have a heart attack.
After drying her off, she helped her get dressed in some of Lucifer’s old pajamas. They were about the same height so it worked. 
When Vaggie was lead out of the bathroom, she squealed with delight as she saw her favorite stuffy, Bucky. She grabbed him off the bed and hugged him tightly. Charlie washed the pacifier in hot water before giving it to Vaggie. Then she tucked Vaggie into the bed before exiting the room since it was still early and she wanted to check on everyone else before she went to sleep. As a flip with a caregiver lean, she always found herself needing to check on everyone. It was just part of her personality, I guess.

☛ we’re a team. remember? so let’s face this one together. ☚ - allen @ chesire
Tumblr media
&  RE  :     my inbox is a circus, i am the clown    /    @galaxiasus.
Tumblr media
A TEAM  ,  HE SAYS  ...  WHAT A TURN AROUND  ,  FROM THE  scared little boy who had first run into him when he’d fallen into Wonderland. The pirate captain’s expression breaks, laughter bubbling past bloodied lips and it hurts, but he’s no stranger to broken ribs and a twisted tail, so to speak. He reaches up to push his hair from his face, mussed up from sweat and chaos  :  he wishes more than usual that he had that damn rabbit’s composure, because try as he might, he isn’t able to take that smile up to his eyes. No mind paid for the monsters that’ve taken mutiny of his ship, nor for the crew that fights the Queen’s disgusting cards  :  he doesn’t think any of them would begrudge him, anyways, for taking time to take care of Alice.
Tumblr media
“I’m sorry, Alice.”  He sucks it up, the pain shooting through his body, as he rushes up to the child’s side. He scoops him up with arms that are much stronger than he suspects the other would be expecting  :  kick, scream, cry, shout, it doesn’t matter. He carries him, ducking ‘round and under stray guard’s swords that swipe near them as he pushes through the chaos. To the side of the ship, he carries his friend, stopping only when they make it to the rail of the ship’s edge. He sits him down then, holding him still by his shoulders so that he can’t wiggle free. Whatever the Cheshire is planning, it’s a dastardly betrayal, indeed. He leans down to meet the kid’s gaze, smile turning sad, wry.
“Not this time. Some fairytales are too dangerous for good kids like you, and sometimes adults have to take responsibility for protecting you when they get like that.”  His gaze shifts to the side, where a large bird swoops ‘neath them. The Gryphon, likely escorted by the Red Queen’s army. His ship will be consumed, at least for now. But despite everything, Faelen will catch innocents when they fall. He knows this.  “You’re probably not going to forgive this one.”
But such is the terrible reality of that responsibility. What an awful thing, to care for one’s friends. From the first girl who had fallen into Wonderland, to this boy now, ever had the Cheshire been loyal. So he presses a familial kiss to the top of his head and then, with what little willpower he has, pushes him off the boat’s edge.
“  CATCH ALICE  ,  FAELEN  !  ”
A command, one that cannot be ignored. Within moments, the Gryphon is diving after the child, now falling through the sky’s clouds. The Cheshire watches them disappear, then grunts and pushes himself back. No. He will not forgive him, he thinks. But that is simply how it must be. Children do not deserve to die for pirates.

I was writing this for a fic that I got from generating tags, but I gave up. However, some of the banter is too good to lose. So...
---
Just to be clear, Tank had no interest in being here. It had been two weeks since their parents moved to Dahlia from Washington. And in those two weeks, they had already decided they hated it here. Friend groups within the pack were already formed and it sucked when you felt like an adult was forcing the close-knit friends to accept your presence. Their solution of just avoiding the pack adults didn’t seem to be working either. Which was how they found themselves sullenly following after Gabe and the other kids their age in the pack. 
The terror and joy filled screams as they passed the amusement park rides had them frowning and shoving their hands deeper into the pockets of their jacket. It was too warm outside for a jacket, but when David suggested they leave it in the car, spite had taken over. So they were now stubbornly wearing a jacket, overheating, and miserable. It was going to be a horrible day. Marie was with Asher’s parents somewhere collecting food for everyone. They shrugged their jacket higher up on their shoulders, earning a glance from David. They glared right back at him, but he dropped back to walk beside them nonetheless. Usually, he was one of the less bothersome ones. He didn’t talk very much, and when he did it was usually only to Asher. But his sense of responsibility could be grating.
“You look like you’re going to melt.” He said, his eyes staring straight ahead of him as he spoke. Tank’s scowl deepened and they rolled their eyes. 
“I’m fine, Shaw.” They snapped back at him. David merely sighed and shook his head, clearly disapproving. But they didn’t need his approval. They didn’t need anyone’s approval. They marched on ahead of him, wanting to create distance. He, thankfully, didn’t follow after them. Probably because he knew that it was herding them closer to the group instead. They slowed down again next to Milo and Asher, not acknowledging either’s existence. Asher glanced at them, but didn’t stop his talking with Milo.
“It was just Pokemon cards, Ash. Let it go.” Milo groaned and Tank glanced over at the two other shifters. Milo looked like he was a few seconds away from trying to put Asher in a headlock, meanwhile Asher was wearing his usual shit-eating grin. It was infectious and the corners of their lips twitched briefly. 
“It’s not just about the Pokemon card, Milo. It’s about the fact of what was on it. Now, if it was Typhlosion or Flygon I wouldn’t be upset. But it wasn’t.” His words… were fighting ones. Even Tank stopped walking to turn and glare at Asher. They didn’t need to say anything as Milo continued.
“I know, for a fact, that you didn’t just insult Typhlosion! What the hell is wrong with you, Ash? That’s Pokemon Gold for a fuckin’ reason!” Milo exploded incredulously. Gabe even stopped walking to turn towards the conversation. Amanda merely smirked from where she was beside the alpha. 
“Language, Milo.” He reminded lazily. Although, based on the amused snort that followed it, there was no real reprimand there. David closed the distance, narrowing his eyes slightly. Asher only grinned as his best friend approached and jerked his thumb towards David.
“Hey, it’s better than Bowser.” 
“Bowser isn’t even a Pokemon.” David replied, not missing a beat. Asher waved a hand, dismissing the defense as weak.
“Doesn’t matter. It’s in Smash and that’s all that matters.”
“Is Typhlosion even in Smash?” Tank asked suddenly. They frowned at the shocked silence that followed their response. Quickly, they turned away from the other kids and started walking.

hot boi summer ‘23 ready rambles :)
buckle in everyone~
ALRIGHT I HAVE A LOT SO WE’LL START FROM THE BEGINNING:
david: a very nice and simple introduction to hot boi summer 23! he makes working out sound hot- ANYWAY angel being a menace as always and david being so soft with them like :,) and angel going to find him i’m crying
the spiciness was good! i just imagine the guy on camera was like “yeah i’m gonna leave them be” lmao
overall a great audio and a nice intro to the lineup :)
vincent: a very good vincent audio in general and i loveee the story for this one! the fact that these two are so comfortable with just doing their own thing and just going to a 7/11 dressed up is amazing. i love their relationship so much. VINCENTS SLURPEEEE I LOVE HIM. the spiciness was so good. I JUST WISH WE GOT A GLIMPSE OF WHAT VINCENT WAS SAYING UGHHHH
overall i love this audio and it’s very cute with a hint of spice :)
avior: AVIORRRRR
this was the one i looked forward to the most (and anton) BECAUSE SPICY WITH AVIOR YES PLEASE. this one is definitely my favorite on so many levels. THE FACT HE MADE STARLIGHT AN OASIS WITH THE OTHER LEVELS AND THE GOLD??? this dude is such a romantic he’s giving gavin and vincent a run for their money. AND THE ENDING??? so good. (lowkey think avior’s a switch) the spiciness was so good, it was simple but that’s what i think the best part about it is, and it was very romantic with the skinny dipping like omg.
i’m so sad this one didn’t win, but the livestream gave me hope that it might be continued like p l e a s e .
overall, the best one imo and i hope it gets continued eventually :)
gavin: a very good hot boi summer addition especially for gavin! seeing the other bois pop in as well in the beginning was amazing :) AND THE REFERENCE TO THE APRON MADE ME FREAK OUT
freelancer and gavin are such menaces and i love them for it, so horny for each other and it’s great. (flashbacks to huxley’s grilling audio anyone?) and the thought of gavin being submissive o m g. i love that idea so much because we have literally never seen that side of him so i am curious about that (maybe in the future?) the spiciness was amazing and i’m very sure they had a great time back at fl’s place lol
overall a solid great audio and definitely in my top five for this lineup :)
lasko: lasko lasko lasko. this one was great!!! i love seeing their relationship continue to grow and seeing how much lasko has changed since we first saw him! especially in the aspect that he’s used to taking things further but the fact that this is different to him :,) do you hear me crying. i love how easy the listener seems to be with lasko and how much of a calming presence they are for him, i know this relationship is going to be a great one! i hope soon we get an audio of the listener meeting the damn gang and fl! (and hopefully a nickname i’m begging) the spiciness is simple and i’m glad we’re seeing this change of pace!
overall, a nice change of things and i like this audio a lot!
elliott: I LOVE THIS ONE A LOT (this is probably my second favorite) it’s so good!! and it’s nice/bittersweet to see elliott and sunshine happy (like please can they be together again i’m crying) THE DRAGON. don’t even get me started-
the role play i cant- now i know these two definitely play dnd. elliott breaking out of character was hilarious and sunshine actually having some powers was a great idea!! the ending- (i’m crying). this relationship is so good they need to be with each other and i miss them being happy :( the spiciness is great in this one and so so so romantic ughhh
overall, i love this audio and it’s a solid addition to the lineup (i also love the irony of the coolness)
asher: one of the more tame ones and that’s not a bad thing! it’s definitely one of the sweetest audios in the whole channel because omg. asher is so emotionally intelligent and i’m so proud of him for how much he’s grown since the inversion!!! he knows who he is and how life can change so he’s using it to his advantage and i love that for him and babe :) their dynamic is great as always and the spiciness was good! (hopefully they were fine in the car lmao)
the horn part was hilarious and so on point lol
overall, a nice audio! very sweet with a little spice :)
guy: very tame for a guy audio which surprised me! i feel like this one was more focused on guy struggling to make it up to honey which i love because guy is such a menace lol
honey is such a saint but i love seeing how soft they can be with guy while still being a little grumpy (it is cute in guys defense) and i love their relationship and how it’s come to be so far!
the ending was great which added to the spiciness and it was hilarious at the same time, only guy can do that lmao
overall, a very simple but good audio! :)
anton: this one. (do you hear me sobbing.) the story and the dynamic was just in point and the references to the work AND THE PLANT I AM C R Y I N G. as soon as he said gift i knew it would be the plant :,(
seeing how devoted the listener and anton are to each other is beautiful. and how sweet they are with each other even if they seem like complete opposites. AND ANTONS WORDS WERE BEAUTIFUL (even if he said he’s not a man of many words i don’t care) the spiciness was so good too and very natural! it was soooo nice to see that side of anton and i wouldn’t mind if this one was continued :)
overall a lovely audio and probably my third favorite of the lineup :)
damien and huxley: THIS ONE WAS AMAZING. the ba was phenomenal and i’m honestly not mad that they got it, they deserved it and lived up to my expectations!!! the beginning was awesome and i loveee their convos so much more than i should. (the fact that gavin and fl burned the food doesn’t surprise me lol) AND THE SWITCH WITH THEM I CANTTT
the spiciness was great, it felt so natural and they are so great together.
overall (because i’m not gonna spoil the ba) i love this audio. i love them. and it would be unfair for me to put them in the ranking because it’s so good.
sam: this was a great audio!! i love the idea of sam being in the club and just being so awkward lol so i’m glad it’s now canon. THE WHOLE GROUP AS WELL LIKE YES THANK YOU REDACTED. (and the fact that david’s on the dance floor i’m deceased)
their dynamic is so good as always. and the visuals you get from this are great! seeing how they are finally letting loose after dealing with quinn is a great thing and i’m so happy for them. (also the vibes with this one were so good i was dancing the entire time.) the spiciness was so good, just imagining darlin “dancing” with sam like sheeesh
overall a great addition to to the lineup and to sam in general :)
milo: LAST BUT NOT LEAST. this one was so sweet and so relatable. (like i relate to sweetheart so much it’s not even funny.) the fact that they are so comfortable with each other and how sweetheart is stressed over vacation being over is a mood and i love how milo comforts them over it. HE KNOWS EXACTLY THE RIGHT THING TO SAY/DO AND I LOVE HIM. the spiciness was great and i love seeing them together like that because they are always so needy for each other it’s crazy. (and not a bad thing either-)
overall a great audio and i love milo so much. :)
(i am not including nick you better believe that)
now for my ranking: (not counting huxley/damien)
avior
elliott
anton
sam
gavin
milo
vincent
asher
lasko
david
NOW- i’m gonna be a little controversial but i don’t think sam deserved the ba. for a couple reasons: one, he already had one last month. and it was a good one too! i understand that his hbs was good but there are other boys who deserved it. which goes into my second reason, other boys who either haven’t gotten one (anton/avior) or who haven’t had one for a long time (elliott/gavin) i feel deserved to get the ba. putting favoritism aside it makes sense! lastly, (after listening to sams ba) i feel sam’s ba was underwhelming to be honest. there were moments that were amazing but the rest just felt like a normal ba. i was hoping there would be more to it but unfortunately not (for me at least). AND i understand that avior won the poll for an update (i don’t think it should have won btw) but i don’t think that should matter if it was something in the past if that makes sense.
overall, this years was great and i’m very happy in general! new people and the theme was awesome as well with the rewind! (here’s hoping one more is continued at least)
i cant wait for next year’s :)
what’s next: hush happened…. that shit was crazy.
i think avior is next? i’m so excited to get an update eeeee
if you made it this far, thanks for reading this rant and i hope you have a great morning/day/night
HAPPY HOT BOI SUMMER YALL
