The Drop (2014)
Bob Saginowski, a barman, becomes entangled in an investigation after the mafia-run bar where he works is robbed.
Tumblr media
JayBell: This was an almost blind pick on our part. I had never heard of this movie at all, but Tom Hardy is in it, so why not give it a shot. Plus, a crime drama is right up our alley.
First of all, Tom Hardy’s accent takes a bit to get used to. Aside from that, the persona of his character in the first part of the movie is like likable idiot? Disheveled himbo? Oblivious bystander? Whatever you want to call it, he really plays up this personality to make the ending more dramatic and shocking. It’s actually a pretty good move because it does work. Although the “big” twist at the end is heavily hinted throughout the movie, so I’m not sure how many people were actually surprised by it. With that said, it’s fun to see the change in his character at the end after seeing him bumbling along in the beginning.
The plot is solid and enjoyable, but I did think the pacing was slightly slower than I would like. Maybe that’s because we figured out the twist so soon and I was ready for “it” to be revealed and everything.
I did get frustrated with our romance in this movie. Well actually I don’t know if I would really call it a romance. It’s more like the potential of a romance. I like that they give our two characters a lot of interactions to build up a sort of friendship without going straight to the romance. Yet, in the end, I did want to smack our leading lady upside the head and ask her if she was serious. After all that happens, I honestly think maybe it would be a good idea for her to move on. Bob isn’t like the worst she could pick (especially compared to her ex), but I think she needs to get a new type.
Obviously the puppy is my favorite character.

Anzie: Soooo this weekend was suppose to be a comedic reprieve from all the heartache we’ve endured. And last second having to find a new movie since The Princess had to be unavailable after we’ve talked about the possibility of watching it for months, would usually end in disaster for our unable-to- make-a-decision-selves. But heyyy, drama is close enough to comedy right? When it has Tom Hardy in it, riggght?? HBO also had it listed as a romance- which I get I guessssss. If I found a man in the wild that looked like Tom Hardy I could consider putting up with quite a bit, not this muuuch but some. Plus it was James Gandolfini’s last movie, and we all love a good crime movie.
So. This movie. I really liked it- the plot twists were amazing. And the actors were so good with how they made their characters behave and something ALWAY feels just off so you’re on the edge of your seat- it is for sure not boring. I have to say too even tho you pick up those weird vibes and think this is going to happen or this or that- it’s still fun watching it play out and very entertaining and very suspenseful. And can we talk about how cutttttteeeeee the pupper is?!?? Bc honestly I think he gives this movie at least 3 of its points just on his own.
That being said- even though I enjoyed it - there were moments I felt like that nervous laughter meme of Julia Louis-Dreyfus bc I was constantly like what is with Tom Hardy’s character- it was like unintentionally funny to me how he kept going on about this puppy when this huge deal about the Chechen’s money is going on. It’s golden.
My one complaint, wait make it two- first the weird ex- I know he had to be a part of it - but I don’t have to like it. And second- HOW COULD COUSIN MARV?? The movies definitely worth a watch and there’s a lot of good detail and great acting - I always have that problem of separating actors and the characters like that’s Tom Hardy or James Gandolfini playing someone - but this movie sucked me in and I was able to really just enjoy the story and the shocking twists.

jaehyun as a bf
anon: “your writing brings me butterflies i love it you are so underrated!!!!! would love to request a jaehyun bf headcanons (like the one you did of mark <3)” thank you for the kind words anon <333 hope you enjoy this one!
(a bit of a plug lol but check out NCT 127's ideal r/s headcanons in this post!! i appreciate you checking it out! <3)
brief mentions of sex, but nothing explicitly nsfw!
likes to talk about music with you
especially jazz. there’s a plethora of songs out there with different renditions and sometimes he likes to ramble about who’s rendition he likes best
would play the piano for you if you asked, just maybe not after schedules or something. but usually when you’re free or alone together in the room, he likes you to sit beside him to listen to him play
you guys like to play a little game where he’ll play the chords and you play like a random note to create blobs of music
even if you don’t know how, the way the session always dissolves into giggles is his favourite thing in the world
if you know how to play the piano that’s great too!! jaehyun just likes the unexpected notes that come out since there’s no set melody in his mind
jaehyun needs to have some part of his body on yours at all times. like he has to hold your hand all the time, or a finger hooked around your backpack, or an arm around your waist.
at least when you’re together he does it very often and he’s just. obsessed with you lmfao
it’s also the reason he buys a promise ring when he’s sure of you as a significant other so you always have a part of him with you (his love)
would buy you those lockets for you to put pictures inside. he doesn’t care where you wear it though, around your neck, wrist, ankle, as long as the locket is on your person
he clings onto you like crazy in the mornings. jaehyun’s a heavy sleeper and likes to hug you on his side, so you’re always having trouble trying to pry him off of you in the morning
a bit nsfw: he likes morning lazy sex lol, ngl. jaehyun adores the rawness of your relationship in the morning and the sleepiness in your eyes when you’re gently pushing him away. he knows you don’t mean it but he makes sure you really want it first
loves the sunlight kissing your skin and the slow, gentle movements
so so intimate, he prefers it to the rougher forms of sex, but sometimes he doesn’t have that luxury since they leave for schedules quite often in the wee hours of dawn
for cuddling sense, jaehyun likes it when you’re under his arm and cuddled into his side. classic position but he dies every time inside when you look up at him and there’s this clueless look you have. has the biggest smile on his face after and you have to repeat the stuff you said bc he’s too distracted by how your eyes shine
second hot favourite (more of when you’re making out) is when you’re straddling him. nothing sexual, just like you on top of him when you’re kissing and stuff. he digs it when you’re pulling away for oxygen and he has to lift his body to reach for your lips again
gets flustered from kissing, but doesn’t show it. if he’s found a way to suppress the crazy crimson on his ears (which i doubt) then he will but his words will always contradict his expression
jaehyun can say “are you nervous, y/n?” with a smirk but his ears keep giving him away!!!!
mfer’s hands are shaking too when he trails it over your body. in disbelief you’re his.
sometimes shamelessly moans into the kiss LOL, not too loud but he whines when you pull away, and has to kiss you breathless again
when you kiss him, expect like a long-lasting kiss. doesn’t mind small pecks and stuff but he’ll want to savour your lips a little longer than a mere peck
jaehyun likes your neck too. when you’re hugging his face is always in your neck, placing small little butterfly kisses
you need to look out for him, always. mans always tripping over something at some point. it’s become more frequent now that he has you and my god he’s so unable to keep his eyes off of you that he trips over simple things. he once tripped over nothing
on the daily when he’s not tripping over you, he’s clumsy in a sense where he drops food on the table. he once struggled to tie up his growing hair into a mini ponytail bc it was just too little hair. the hair tie slipped from his fingers and shot itself into your face - those kinds of small small mishaps
it’s endearing but sometimes you can’t help but laugh at him
likes to take you out on impromptu dates. dates that are close by and easy to plan (?) i guess.
not saying jaehyun is a lazy boyfriend but he likes the more candid dates where you decide what to do as you go along. of course if it’s a big day like your anniversary or birthdays then he’d want to plan something out.
other than that, he just either lets you choose the places to go there or you two decide along the way. he doesn’t want to impose options for you and pressure you. if he’s being honest, he wouldn’t know where to go either lol so he just follows wherever you bring him
laughs so much when he’s with you. giggles, deep laugh, whatever you name it. your relationship is very light-hearted and he finds that he’s the one laughing more when you deliver jokes even tho he wants to make you laugh too
i can’t lie… his jokes can be dry sometimes i’m sorry jaehyun 😭 so he backs it up with laughter and has to catch his breath sometimes bc he finds it really funny
you’re not laughing at the joke, rather at his laugh so you might have to tell him that some way or another bc he’ll just keep making bad jokes i’m sorry y’all
he can’t handle the suuuuuper cheesy physically affectionate films or series (with shitty plot) but i feel like if the story’s interesting enough he’ll pay attention. likes bittersweet films too, i feel, gets him thinking
doesn’t mind cliched plots (fake dating / idealist girl meets realist boy / idk any others lol) but would propose something at the end that he thinks will make the movie/series more interesting
jaehyun likes to share his theories with you
unironically wants to learn the la la land tap dance scene with you. he ALWAYS hums city of stars too, no matter what. idk why but it sticks to him, in bed, in breakfast, when he’s doing something random
he did it once on the radio and he received a text from you in break that told him he was humming along to the song
with that said, jaehyun wants to try out the stuff in the rain quite a bit. making out, dancing, lying down, running, he likes that fascination that society has with doing things in the rain
doesn’t like it too much that he’ll get soaked, but as long as you’re with him and willing to do it, he’s all for it
jaehyun would def want kids in the future. wants to dote on them and buy them stuff and whatnot. wants to see them running around the house with laughter while you both struggle to contain the bursts of excitement they have
doesn’t care for the dynamic much. if he’s the one to stay at home to take care of them while you work, he can work with it. if it’s the other way round, he’s okay too
he just worries that if he’s still involved with the entertainment industry, you might have to take a back seat since he’ll be the one earning the money, and he doesn’t want babysitters either.
heart is so so full when he comes back home and you’re just playing with the kids, or singing them to sleep. any sight of you with him is enough to make him melt into a puddle
HAS to hold them even if they’re asleep. wants to always have them close to him while he nudges you to shower or get the food ready.
like jaehyun, he would wanna meet someone in a vinyl shop or bookstore. he knows it’s cliched but the thought of meeting someone when you’re buying something is exciting. anything unexpected for him, he welcomes it
the next few are just random, miscellaneous headcanons: he likes to see you in his clothes, preferably with nothing underneath. just his shirt lol. cheeky man
jaehyun likes it when you shower together (again, nothing sexual, just likes the domesticity)
likes it when you fall asleep on him
will never stop gushing about you to his parents, first time you met them they’re like “he’s told us so much about you!” and he really did
feels comfortable in your presence, no makeup, messy hair, no need for a perfect bod. he’s just jaehyun. jung yuno if you will
adores it when you call him “lover” i mean boyfriend is good, significant other is good, but lover is just chef’s kiss
it is a bit cheesy if you think about it, so it’s not often that you say it. when you do say it in songs when you’re singing it to him, he can’t stop smiling
plays lover, you should’ve come over when he’s on tour bc it’s the closest thing he can get to a replica of how he feels for you
and when jaehyun falls asleep to the song, all he can remember is your honey voice singing it to him. he’ll just have to hold onto it before he can see you again
<3

If you’ll have me
Bucky x insecure!reader
Summary: my entry to “The Other Punk’s 500 Writing Challenge” by the lovely @buckys-other-punk I chose the prompt: “I want you to remember: you deserve this”
The reader moves to the avengers compound, she soon learns how easy it is to fall for a certain supersoldier and how easy it is to give into the lies your brain tells you, and how hard it is to see your own worth in a building full of superheroes.
Warning: panic attacks, self-image issues, anxiety, bad writing, fluff of course, all the themes from the 2012 avengers mindset, endgame!steve is non-existent and everyone is alive bc wow I changed the timeline!
Word count: 4,677
A/N: this prompt could have gone in a spideypool comic kinda way- sarcastic and witty and funny; Or in the direction that I took, I’m at a rough spot so I decided to write the kind of fic that I could use right now. This is the first time I’m sharing my writing, to anyone. So hopefully my nerves won’t be the death of me.
A/N 2: so, I planned this to be around 2k but it got out of hand and the characters did whatever they wanted, I had no control and so the plot is different than what I originally thought.
You can’t say no to Tony Stark, you learned that very early on in your friendship. It was absolutely impossible. So when he out of the blue showed up at your apartment at 2am with a request to move out of your house and into the Avengers compound… you knew there was no way out.
Unlike your best friend, you were more introverted, the thought of moving into a big compound full of superheroes and gods was scary for a civilian. But tony needed you, and you are nothing if not loyal to him.
Ever since the fight between tony and Steve, he told you how lonely he felt in the big tower, after they made peace and settled back into the tower- even though they talked it out and were understanding, tony wanted you around.
“It’s to ease the tension, you are easy to get along with, they will all love you. And you got me to talk about my emotions so maybe you could help them. A little normal in our chaotic life, it’s purely logical.” He said to you, but you could read him better than that. Yes, his argument was logical, but he just wanted a friend.
So of course, you agreed. Working for Pepper was so much better than your old stupid job, she was an angel compared to your mean boss. So a month later you moved into the compound and settled in with Pepper on your new job as her assistant.
When you first met the infamous Winter Soldier he was back from a visit to Wakanda just a few days after you moved in. You noticed his left arm was different from what you’ve seen on the news- it was now black and a little golden, no red star in sight.
He was laughing with The Falcon and ran his fingers through his short hair when tony walked with you into the common room his arm around your shoulder as you walked towards the two avengers. Tony told you everything, so you knew about their past and while he told you how they both decided to move on from that you where still a little nervous.
“Y/N meet: Birdie and Spiky.” Tony gestured forward as he took you to meet the two avengers “Guys, this is the incredible Y/N.”
“I’m Sam, pleasure to meet you.” He nodded to you and shook your hand “this is Spiky.”
“Spiky? Really Tony, you could do better than that, my hair is not that spiky.” He shook his head but you could hear the amusement in his voice. That was a good sign you thought, but that was before he looked at you and you saw his eyes, the blue piercing through your soul. “I’m Bucky.”
“Y/N” you raised your left hand to shake his, you could see a slight tension forming in his eyes as he raised his vibranium hand to meet yours, eyes studying you. You smiled at him.
He flashed you a smile that made your heart skip a bit. This is definitely going to be a problem.
“Are you a new recruit?” Sam had asked you then.
“Oh no, I’m just a friend.” You looked at tony with a smirk “apparently this guy can’t function without me so I decided to move here, for the sake of saving the world from the worst cook ever.”
“It was one time Y/N! I did not mean to blow up your microwave.” Tony looked betrayed as he looked at you.
“I present to you one of the world’s greatest mechanics ladies and gentlemen!” you waved your hands towards Tony. You could see the amusement in his eyes, giving in his failed look of annoyance.
“I already regret my decision,” he groaned and rolled his eyes at you. “I hate you.”
“No you don’t.”
“Well, it was very nice to meet you Y/N,” Bucky redirected the conversation to you again, A sincere look on his face. “I hope we will see you around more then.”
“Unfortunately, we have to go, Cap is waiting for us.” Sam nodded towards you and Tony. You returned a goodbye before tony swept you away to show you his new project.
“What was it back there lover boy?” Sam teased Bucky when you were out of earshot. Bucky looked back at you and shook his head.
“Don’t know what you are talking about, Wilson.”
“Sure” Sam laughed at him but let it go.
As much as you hated to admit that tony was right, it didn’t take long for the team to warm up to you and take you as one of their own. Two weeks later and you found your place there. Natasha and you became quite close as you, Wanda, and Pepper occasionally had girls night.
Tony was smug all day long when one day at the lab Bruce told you that you’re very calming to have around. When Steve and Sam agreed and said it could have a good effect on the team Tony’s smugness somehow increased. It was very annoying. No one should ever let Tony be proved right.
Thor was the biggest puppy you have ever met, basically a Labrador. You found out his slight obsession with pop tarts, and you took it on yourself to educate him on some pop culture because let’s be honest who would turn down an opportunity to watch your favorite movies with someone who wouldn’t object to any of them. When you one time watched the Sherlock Holmes movie with Thor and Steve came in and said he didn’t watch it, you decided it is absolutely essential to have a movie night. You found Clint in the vents shouting an agreement to you.
Even though you managed to befriend Thor, Loki and you soon became good friends. He appreciated your skill of lie detecting and you two often sat and read books together.
Then there was Bucky, your friendship started to form when you joined in on a prank on Sam. You and Bucky ran so fast, dying of laughter, as Sam chased you around with his brand new sparkly pink wings.
From there you friendship blossomed, but to your dismay so did your little crush. It started from invitations to go on walks, to him coming to your door in the dead of the night in seek for comfort after a nightmare. You always let him in. you’d listen to him if he wanted you to, and you distracted him when he didn’t.
Your best friend never showed up to breakfast so you’d sit next to Bucky instead. In movie nights you found Bucky saving you a seat next to him every time until he didn’t have to, it was a silent agreement amongst the team.
You never would have expected the next development though: Bucky was a cuddler. It started small, a hand on the small of your back in the morning when he entered the kitchen. Then an arm in the dark around your shoulder, stroking your arm as you all sat and watched a movie.
“Can I just maybe lie down?” he asked one night. It was 3am and the dark circles under his eyes made your heart ache. You just nodded but were surprised at his actions. You assumed he meant to lie down on the bed rather than sitting against the headboard. He lowered himself on the bed and put his head on your thighs and began to talk to you. You got over your momentary shock to listen to what he wants to talk about, absentmindedly you found yourself stroking his short hair. It was soft and from his content sigh he seemed to enjoy it too.
Imagine the Fourth of July. Now, imagine it with a bit more… Tony. That’s exactly what happened to Steve’s birthday party. Tony told you all about what he was planning weeks before, and you two worked about it endlessly since then. You were a bit annoyed at first, it was way too extravagant to your taste but now that you’re standing at the entrance, looking down from the stairs at all the people there, you couldn’t help but feel proud. The people there varied, from the avengers to the agents you didn’t recognize and all sorts of people who you assumed were high profiled? Never the one to initiate a conversation with a stranger you went ahead to the bar to try and find Tony.
Instead, at the bar you found Natasha who sat there with a drink, scaring away anyone who tried to bother her, you of course she welcomed.
“I’m so glad you came! I know it’s not really your thing but this place looks amazing, so is your dress!” Natasha gashed at you.
“You look absolutely incredible Nat!” you took in her tight short stress and how well she looked in it, she was your friend but you could feel the discomfort start to grow. You smoothed down your skirt. “Do you know where tony is?”
“he is probably talking to some rich assholes who are leaning in to his every word” she joked with you, “I think I saw him with our birthday boy so maybe you should ask him.” She nodded to behind you.
“Steve! Happy birthday!” you rushed to hug him. “How do you like the party?”
“Well, tony sure has expensive taste, it’s lovely Y/N.” America’s golden boy smiled at you.
“Speaking of tony, have you seen him?”
“Yeah, he was actually looking for you earlier, he’s right there.” Steve pointed to the other side of the room where tony stood with Pepper, surrounded by a group of people.
With a short thank you, you attempted to make your way there, casting tens of apologies as you tried to shuffle through the dancing crowd. From the corner of your eye you spotted Bucky, sitting on the couch next to a girl who was basically sitting in his lap, you saw the smile on his face, you never saw that kind of smile on him before. In an attempt to ignore the twist in your stomach, you continued pushing people until you found Tony, surrounded by a whole new group now. When he noticed you and the look on your face, he whispered to Pepper who then diverted the conversation away from Tony- who slipped away towards you.
“Hey darling, I tried to find you earlier.” He told you as he gave you a hug.
“It took me a little longer to get ready I guess.” You looked behind you to see Bucky still with that girl, you adjusted your dress.
Tony took in your actions. He knew you too well.
“Do you want to go outside, a little bit of fresh air could help?”
“No, no you love these parties! I can’t take you away from that.” You dismissed it quickly.
“Well fine, if you want me to enjoy it so much then dance with me.” He dragged you to the DJ and you heard him ask for a couple of slower songs, and then dragged you to the middle of the dance floor. You heard your favorite song playing and tony enveloped you in his arms, immediately comforting you. “Do you want to talk about it?”
“There isn’t really much to talk about, you know how sometimes these parties can trigger me. Sometimes it can make a person like me feel a bit inadequate I guess.” You leaned your head on his chest.
“You’re better than all of these people sweetheart, you’re my best friend tell me who made you feel like this and I will personally give them a free ride to Antarctica.” You could see him doing that which made you laugh.
“With all the penguins? That sounds fun though.” You argued.
“Oh you’re right. I guess I’ll have to think of a different place then. Do you think Barnes would like the desert? I mean with that metal arm it must heat up-”
“Wait what? Why would you say Bucky?” that sneaky son of a bitch.
“Come on, I saw you look at him, did he make you feel bad?” tony looked you in the eyes this time, sincere.
“No,” you shrugged. “I just saw Nat and all these beautiful agents and then I saw him with one and I guess it just made me feel bad way too fast. He didn’t do anything wrong.”
Some days were worse than others, some days it was just a few passing thoughts, some it was thunder and dark lingering clouds.
“Well, there isn’t a point in me telling you how gorgeous you are because you will never believe me, even though you are and I should probably get you an eye doctor, maybe schedule something with Dr. Cho. Anyway, if this is because of Barnes, then I can assure you he only has eyes for you.”
“I don’t need an eye doctor!” you hit his arm and laughed, before putting your head back on his chest. “And about the other thing, I doubt that. I think maybe he should be with someone more like him, which makes more sense.” You still looked around, not seeing Bucky anywhere.
“I don’t think you should make any sort of decision when you’re this anxious. I don’t think you’re capable of clear judgment in this situation darling.” He said to you quietly, worried overtones in his voice.
“I’m fine Tony, I’m not that anxious.”
“your hands are shaking Y/N…” as he told you that, you looked at the hand you put on his chest, his hand now cradled it as you saw it shaking. How did you not notice it? When tony saw as you realized what was happening he knew there was no room for argument. “I’m taking you away.”
You put up no fight as he quickly managed to take you away without drawing too much attention. You didn’t see Bucky searching for you in the crowd after that.
Bucky sat there on the couch, happy for his best friend as he enjoyed his party. He was smiling uncomfortably as the girl next to him scooted closer to him. His mental health got a lot better, and his confidence grew- he felt the man he once was but newer, most of the time. Big crowds still managed to get to him though. He nodded along to the girl next to him who refused to call him anything but James, he tried to be polite. He hated the crowds, you would know that. He thought. Then he heard your favorite song playing from the far side of the room, there he finally saw you, dancing with Tony. He knew tony was your best friend, but he still felt a tug at his heart as you put your head near his arc reactor.
He has been pondering on when to tell you about his feelings for you, confident that you wouldn’t turn him down. The two of you grew so close, you were an absolute angel to him. He saw you hit Tony’s arm and suddenly his smile turned genuine. He knew you felt the same way as him, it was hard to ignore. You seemed almost as happy as he is when the two of you are alone. Maybe he could tell you tonight.
“James? Are you even listening to me?” the girl called him.
“Yes, sorry, your name is August right?” she nodded at him. “Sorry but I have to go, I have a couple of things to do.” He got up then and went towards where he last saw you, but you where nowhere to be found.
The next day tony seemed to be stuck at your side, you tried to tell him that you’re fine but he insisted to “borrow you from Pepper because he needs an assistant.” Or so he claims. Apparently he needed an assistant to buy him ice cream in your favorite flavor or to cook him a meal which coincidentally happens to be your favorite desert- to give him credit he did try to help but he might have tried to mix the eggs with the flour and got it all over the counter. You burst into a fit of laughter and he told F.R.I.D.A.Y to order pizza. So, the two of you sat in the kitchen with your pizza, after cleaning the place.
“I might have to borrow you from Pepper more often, you are a great assistant.”
“Yeah, sure” you played along before setting your pizza down. “Thank you Tony.”
“Anytime” He smiled at you through a mouthful of pizza.
The kitchen door opened, and in stumbled Steve and Bucky, who for once slept in today.
“Well hello boys, what got you looking so bad?” Tony smirked at them.
“It’s all Thor’s fault, he brought the Asgardian mead.” Steve said, you laughed at his hangover state, it was rare but precious.
“Hey doll, I didn’t get to talk to you yesterday, couldn’t find you.” He smiled at you, his rough voice nearly killed you- you were certain. You looked over at tony as you stumbled over what to say.
“We left early, she claimed I was too drunk and should get some air.” He winked at you “isn’t she just the best Barnes?” he then looked at Bucky; you swear you hated him sometimes.
“An absolute angel,” Bucky replied, assessing tony. “But you seem okay enough.”
“Yes well I tried telling her, but she insisted.” Tony easily replied and matched Bucky’s stare.
“How did you manage to get him to actually listen to you Y/N? That’s impressive.” Steve commented, oblivious to the slight tension as he made coffee.
“Years of practice I guess, it is hard to accomplish because he sure can be an ass sometimes.” You kicked Tony under the table to look at you. He only smiled.
“Capcicle doesn’t like that kind of language Y/N.” you heard Steve groaning as he put a coffee cup in front of Bucky who was seated next to you, and sat in front of him next to tony.
“That happened years ago Tony!”
“Doll, I was wondering if you wanted to watch a movie later maybe?” Bucky leaned in to ask you, before you could answer though, Steve spoke up.
“Why is there flour on the counter?”
“On your ass too, you picked the wrong chair.” Tony helpfully chimed in “you know, those pants do nothing for your ass.”
“Tony messed up the kitchen, I guess we didn’t clean it all.” You said apologetically and got up. “I actually have a lot of things to do for Pepper today, since tony stole me, so I should probably go start on that.” You exited the room, looking forward to a distraction at work.
“Tony, you know you shouldn’t cook!” Steve patted the chair, and then sat on it again.
“Hey, I was only trying to help Y/N in baking a cake, I had good intentions!” tony defended.
“Why was she making a cake in the afternoon?”
“Relax Barnes, I asked her to bake me a cake but when it tragically somehow blew up we settled on pizza.” Tony lifted up his slice of pizza in proof. “Why do you care anyway?”
“What kind of question is that?” Bucky looked at him quizzically. “Tony, is there some sort of a problem?”
“I’m just asking, why do you care about her?” Steve noticed the change in the question but Bucky just looked confused.
“I care about her because she is my friend, just like the rest of you here!” Bucky was getting angry by the second, where was this all coming from?
“Yes, but do you care about her only as a friend?” tony asked and this time Bucky noticed the change and his anger all melted away.
“No.” he admitted, not bothering to hide it. “Were you just trying to get me to confess my feelings?”
“They learn things so fast, don’t they Steve?” he looked at an amused Steve who just nodded.
“Even I couldn’t get him to say something. Good job Tony.”
“Okay, I am leaving, this is clearly an ambush.” Bucky left the kitchen then.
Bucky was headed to his room to clear his head, hoping you won’t be as busy tomorrow. He was in the hallway when he passed your room, it was then that he heard your TV on; he recognized the theme song of Brooklyn Nine-Nine playing. Why were you watching TV when you said you’re working? Bucky went to his room and decided to let it go.
For the next week Bucky studied your moves carefully. You started to avoid going out with him, making excuses that he could easily read as lies. At night you accepted him with open arms to talk about his nightmares, but he noticed you smiled less now. When movie night came along he found the seat next to him empty as you sat next to tony, he wasn’t the only one to notice it. That was it for him.
“Nat,” he found Natasha the next day alone in the common room. “Do you know if Y/N is upset with me?”
“Probably, yes, I don’t know why though.” Natasha shrugged.
“I don’t know what I did, she is still nice to me but she avoids even being in the same room as me.” Bucky sat next to her. The assassin put her book down finally and paid attention to Bucky. “I don’t know what to do; I can’t accuse her of anything. I just feel something is wrong. We were really close.”
“I’m sure it’s nothing major, you should talk to her.” Natasha put her hand on his, to try and comfort her friend. She’s seen the way you looked at each other, it was impossible to miss the connection.
You entered the room, unaware of the conversation until you looked up and the two avengers stopped talking and looked at you, but you looked at the position they were in, you were clearly interrupting a private conversation.
“Oh, sorry, I didn’t realize you were here. Sorry, I’ll leave you two alone.” You exited the room before Bucky even stood up, he came to seat back down but Nat kicked him.
“What are you doing? Go and talk to her!” she all but commanded him. He wasn’t going to fight Natasha, that’s just a lost cause.
You were safe in your room, it was all fine. Everything was fine. You couldn’t have expected that falling for an avenger would be a good idea. They are different from you, you’re just… you. They are superheroes. Everyone in the building is either a highly trained agent or one of the top scientists in the world. You were just Tony’s friend, here to support him and maybe bring some normalcy to the superheroes. How could you possibly compete with all that? Your lungs felt too tight, it’s like you could barely breathe.
“Miss Y/N I am recognizing symptoms of a possible panic attack, would you like me to call Mr. Stark?” F.R.I.D.A.Y called to you, snapping you out of your daze.
“No, don’t call tony, or anyone, can you just talk me through breathing?” the AI complied until you managed to calm down and get your breathing right. Bless Tony Stark, anxiety can fuck off.
“Miss, Sergeant Barnes is requesting to open the door; I have shut it alongside any outside noise, would you like me to lift it?”
“Yes F.R.I.D.A.Y, thank you.” You could handle it. You opened the door to see a frustrated Bucky. “Hi Bucky, what do you need?”
Bucky just stepped right into your room and shut the door behind him.
“I need you to tell me what did I do wrong?”
“What? You didn’t do anything wrong.” You were confused now.
“Then why the hell are you avoiding me? I thought you were happy, I thought you wanted me around.” Oh, how could you explain this to him without him taking pity on you?
“Of course I want you around Bucky, it’s okay it’s not that. I’m just giving you space. It’s alright.” You tried to assure him, while also hoping you could convince yourself.
“Giving me space? Doll I don’t want space away from you. Why are you pulling away from me?” he reached for your hand, his metal arm trying to bring you closer.
“Bucky, really it’s alright. Just let this go.” You pleaded him.
“No it’s not alright, I’m not alright. Because the woman I’m in love with is pushing me away and I don’t know what to do to bring her back to me!” He confessed to you, the frustration in his voice gave away to the longing look in his blue eyes.
“You- you what?” you stopped trying to resist him, your shock letting him pull you closer, he was holding both your arms now, keeping you close.
“I’m in love with you. Is it really that hard to believe?” He questions, his voice low now, as if someone might hear, and he wanted to keep this intimate moment just for the two of you.
“No.” you said before collecting yourself. “No, you can’t be in love with me.”
“Of course I can, it’s really easy to fall for you doll.” Bucky huffed a laugh. “I thought you felt the same way, do you?”
“I…” Could you really lie to a supersoldier? Would you lie to Bucky? “I do. Of course I do, but you don’t understand. Bucky, you’re a superhero, a supersoldier. I’m on the other hand just a girl with too much anxiety who happens to have the best friend in the world which is why I was even allowed to live here in the first place. You deserve so much better Bucky, you really do. And I- I don’t deserve you.” You hang your head low, if only he could realize that, it will hurt less. Your eyes were watering but you blinked them shut.
Bucky’s right hand came to your chin and held it up. You are an absolute idiot. Bucky mused at what you said.
“Doll, if there is one thing that I learned in therapy is that even after everything I did, I can still become the man I want to be and I deserve to get happiness. You make me so happy doll, you really do. But you deserve happiness too. Tell me, do I make you happy?”
“Yes, very much. But-”
“No. You deserve all the love and happiness in the world and if you’ll have me, I promise to keep you happy, always. I know I can’t solve anxiety, I have it too. But you help me with it, so I’ll do whatever I can to help you.”
You looked into the sea in his eyes, trying to find any doubt, but all you found was determination to make you understand, to make you believe it. And for a moment you did. That was all it took.
“If you’ll have me, I promise to make you happy and make sure you are loved, always.” You whispered. “Thank you.”
“No need to thank me, I just- I want you to remember, you deserve this. Whether it’s happiness with me or with someone else. You deserve to be loved by your friends, and if it’s here than this is your home and we’re your family. You deserve love and support and if it’s me then please, will you have me?”
“Yes. I don’t want anyone else.”
The next thing you knew, his lips crushed into yours, pouring out all of your emotion to the kiss. This feels right, this is right. Maybe you’re worthy of a happy ending after all. Maybe you’ll find it right here, in this compound, with Bucky.
Little did you know, in the far away land that is Tony’s messy lab, F.R.I.D.A.Y notified him per his request about your panic attack. Now, with the monitors turned on, he watched the two of you with a smile at his lips.
“F.R.I.D.A.Y? Tell Steve he owes me 20 bucks.”

4, 22 and 48, please?
4. “I’m too sober for this.”
22. “Did you just hiss at me?”
48. “Welcome back. Now fucking help me.”
using prompts from this prompt sheet (send me more!)
summary: “I feel like these directions were written in another language.” Phil whined as Dan finished sorting through the stack of what felt like hundreds of pieces of wardrobe in front of them. “It’s like I’m reading Japanese or something.”
“Phil.” Dan said, a soft smile spreading over his cheeks. “They’re pictures. How can they be another language?”
“I don’t know. I’m no language expert.”
“Don’t you have an actual degree in linguistics?”“
No.” Phil said with a pout. “Well, yes, but that’s not… it’s not the same! This is picture-istics.”
a/n: so this is meant to be in this video! they built a wardrobe together in 2012 and this is partially bits straight out of that vid and partially ‘outtakes’. it may be in 2012 but there’s literally no angst, it’s just fluff bc the vid is just fluff. fight me.
word count: 1.7k
rating: teen (some sex-related references, but no actual smut or even implied smut. there’s just a handjob reference that’s straight out of the video)
read it under the cut or here on ao3
“I feel like these directions were written in another language.” Phil whined as Dan finished sorting through the stack of what felt like hundreds of pieces of wardrobe in front of them. “It’s like I’m reading Japanese or something.”
“Phil.” Dan said, a soft smile spreading over his cheeks. “They’re pictures. How can they be another language?”
“I don’t know. I’m no language expert.”
“Don’t you have an actual degree in linguistics?”
“No.” Phil said with a pout. “Well, yes, but that’s not… it’s not the same! This is picture-istics.”
Dan laughed, loud and bright, and Phil couldn’t help giggle in response. “That doesn’t make any sense, you absolute spoon.”
“You don’t make any sense.” Phil shifted over, pressing his shoulder against Dan’s and looking at the pieces in front of them. “We should start. Staring at the Japanese pictures for even longer isn’t going to make us less confused.”
Once they had the first few pieces put together, Dan was trying to figure out what piece they needed next.
“Six.” Phil said without really thinking about it. His hands started absentmindedly rubbing over the piece of wood he had in his lap. Well, maybe it wasn’t entirely absentminded. Phil may act innocent on camera, but he knew exactly what it looked like when he made eye contact with Dan while his hands moved over the wood.
“Is it actually?” Dan looked up from the instructions. His eyes flickered from Phil’s face to his hands, which were pretty much giving their soon to be wardrobe a hand-job, and then back up to Phil’s eyes. Phil’s face was blank, a sort of faux-innocence that Dan knew all too well in his eyes, and Dan’s was somewhat incredulous. “Phil. Do you have - Do you.. have any idea what that just- no? Okay, no. Cut!”
Phil’s blank face dissolved into a small smirk as Dan’s eyes turned to the camera.
“If you’re under twelve, stop watching!” Dan said before turning back to Phil, who was also looking at the camera with red cheeks and a bashful smile.
“I didn’t know what I was doing!” Phil said, and Dan was entirely unconvinced. Phil pulled this sort of stunt all the time. He only pretended not to know what he was doing in front of the camera.
“And by twelve, I mean eighteen.” Dan continued, because it was best to just ignore Phil when this happened. Normally, he wouldn’t care, but they were on camera, and this sort of thing almost always led to flirting, and Dan would rather just move on rather than have to edit out fifteen minutes of footage later.
But then Dan heard a noise, something a bit strange that he hadn’t heard come from Phil’s throat in a while.
“Did you just hiss at me?” Dan asked, voice going a little high. Phil burst into giggles and covered his mouth. He nodded a bit, and Dan might’ve thought he looked endearing if he hadn’t just hissed. “Right. Dear god, is it two thousand nine again? Are you going to turn into Cat-Boy Lester again?”
“Maybe.” Phil’s body shook with laughter as he leaned closer to Dan, playfully pawing at his shoulder. “Meow.”
“Phil, oh my god, no.” Dan groaned. “I’m too sober for this.”
“Fine, fine. Let’s finish the wardrobe before I say ‘rawr’ and you spontaneously combust.”
The wardrobe was around halfway built at this point, and Phil was starting to screw in the second half of his screws. Dan was playing Fur Elise, per Phil’s second request. Moonlight Sonata got old after a little while.
“Do you reckon once this is built, we’ll be able to go to Narnia?” Phil asked as he turned a screw.
Dan paused for a moment, waiting until Phil looked up at him to answer. “No.” Phil slumped, and Dan managed to hold his laughter in for a moment. “Neither of us are magic uncles. This isn’t some ancient magical wardrobe made from a special magic tree. It’s a bloody ikea wardrobe.”
“You’re no fun.” Phil pouted, reluctantly going back to turning the screws.
Dan turned back to his piano, continuing to play. It was quiet for a few minutes, nothing but the sound of Dan’s fingers pressing the piano keys filling the room. He didn’t realize how it had been much longer than was necessary for Phil to finish, not until Phil’s hands were sliding around his waist and Phil’s chin was on his shoulder.
“You’re so good.” Phil’s voice was soft and quiet, and Dan got the distinct impression that that ‘good’ wasn’t restricted to just piano. “I’m half tempted to ditch the wardrobe and just listen to you play for hours.”
Dan smiled softly, only hesitating for a moment before continuing the song. “We have to finish. You can listen to me play anytime once we’re all moved in.”
“I’ll take you up on that.”
They stayed like that for a few moments, just enjoying being close to each other, neither of them caring that the audio and at least part of the visual was being caught on tape. They could edit it out. They always did. Then Phil pulled away with a reluctant sigh. “Let’s get this over with. I have to pee first, though.”
“Hurry it up. The faster we’re done, the faster we can watch anime.”
“You don’t have to tell me twice.” Phil grinned at Dan as he darted out of the room, reappearing a few minutes later. He stopped in the doorway, eyes wide. Dan was trying to stand the wardrobe upright by himself, but he was very, very bad at it, apparently. He looked like he was about to drop the entire thing and quite possibly break it and injure himself in the process. Phil couldn’t help laugh. “What the hell are you doing?”
“There you are!” Dan said, panicked eyes finding Phil’s. “Welcome back. Now fucking help me.”
Phil moved forward, carefully helping Dan lower it down to the ground again before bursting into giggles. “You’re the most impatient person I know.” He stepped toward Dan, looking him over quickly to make sure he was okay. “I was gone for, like, five minutes. You couldn’t wait that long?”
Dan whined a little and leaned into Phil. “I just wanted to get it done. Don’t make fun of me.”
Phil’s lips brushed Dan’s cheek, and then he was pulling away again. “Alright, then. Let’s get it done.” He bent down to grab the top of the wardrobe, waited until Dan’s hands were around the base, and then pushed it upright.
“It’s being born!” Phil said excitedly as Dan sang a theme song in a high-pitched voice. “It’s starting to look like an actual wardrobe!”
After that, they sped through the rest of the building process rather quickly, with Dan making fun of Phil much more than necessary. Phil would’ve complained, except the way that Dan’s eyes lit up and he smiled at Phil like he was the only important thing in the world made up for it all. Besides, he knew Dan didn’t mean it. Neither of them did. As much as they might have teased each other, there was nothing but love behind it.
So Phil didn’t feel too bad when he decided to sneak inside of the newly-completed wardrobe while Dan picked up some trash from the corner that they were going to put it in. He nearly lost it when Dan started trying to talk to him, and he had to bring his hand up to his mouth to stifle any sounds that were threatening to come out.
Dan kept saying Phil’s name over and over again, sounding increasingly panicked. Phil would’ve felt bad if it weren’t so funny.
When he heard a loud, nervous ‘Phiiw,’ Phil decided he could take it anymore. He pushed the doors open and poked his head out. “Rawr!”
Dan’s face went blank again as Phil crawled out, laughing increasingly louder. He tried to look angry for a moment, but he just couldn’t, not when Phil’s laugh was lighting up the room like that. A smile spread over Dan’s cheeks, and an exasperated but somehow much too fond chuckle started to bubble out of his throat.
“As if you’d got in the wardrobe-” Dan stepped forward to look in the wardrobe. He hadn’t thought it’d be big enough for one of them to fit inside. Apparently he was wrong, though. “Maybe your Narnia theory was right. There’s no way that you were in there.”
“Yes there was! And it’s all on tape!” Phil pointed to the camera, still giggling excitedly.
“Whatever.” Dan moved in and shoved Phil’s shoulder, then stepped back toward the wardrobe. “Now help me move this, you rat.”
Phil did as Dan asked, but didn’t stop the teasing even a little bit. He couldn’t help it. He was excited. It had almost always been Dan doing the pranking and Phil being pranked, and Phil was so ecstatic that he’d finally gotten to get Dan back.
“You were so scared.” Phil said as they finished putting the wardrobe in place. He reached out to Dan again and warmth bloomed in his chest as Dan fell into him, whining softly. Anybody else might’ve found it annoying, the way that Dan so easily threw out insults and pranked people, but turned into a whiny mess when it was turned back around on him. “You’re so cute. Makes me wanna kiss your cheeks. And your nose. And your forehead. And your lips. And your entire face.”
“Phil.” Dan whined, once again dragging the ‘i’ out and replacing the ‘l’ sound with a ‘w’, the way he always did when he was trying to get his way with Phil. “Stop it.”
Dan’s cheeks were red. Phil’s heart felt like it was going to explode. “Only if you let me pick the anime.”
“You’re such a jerk.” Dan’s voice was still whiny, but he wrapped his arms around Phil’s neck and kissed him gently. “Fine. But I get to lay on your chest while we watch it.”
“Is that supposed to be something I have to reluctantly agree to?” Phil laughed and pulled away from Dan, but left their hands connected as he pulled Dan toward their lounge that held nothing but a sofa and their TV. “Sounds like a great night.”

Dating Luhan Would Include...
Admin: Jade Masterlists
Tumblr media
ye im trying to get this stuff out asap
sleep? idk her also just a warning it took 2k+ to get to the actual dating part so be prepared for a lengthy one
okay so basically, you got a job as one of lu’s personal stylists
you were the only child of one of his managers which helped you get the job
but the other stylists didn’t like that
they thought you just got the job solely bc of your parent
which was wrong-- you had loads of experience with styling of all kinds
the other stylists, bitter, would either ignore you or ‘tease’ you
a lot
though, they’d make sure to not do it in front of your dad
and they tried with lu, but he ended up catching them
considering he sees you all every day
and the fact that he isn’t cold hearted
lu really didn’t like that
but every time he would confront them about it, they’d deny his accusations and act innocent
after like a month of this happening
lu, and you respectively, had enough
though, you’ve had enough the moment they started
anywhoodle
lu legitimately had them fired
all five of them
aka
his entire stylist crew (besides you)
when you came to work and were told ‘oh hey, the other stylists don’t work here anymore, you’re going to be on your own for a few days.’
you had no idea how to react
and lu could tell because he started chuckling while you were doing his hair
“is something funny?”
“your continuous confused look”
“hUh”
then he told you that the other stylists were fired
which you already knew
but when you asked why, he fibbed a bit
said ‘they weren’t doing their jobs properly’
when in reality they were all relatively good stylists
so you knew he was lying right away
that and because the tips of his ears turned red
you didn’t want to say anything
just in case you got fired too lmao
for the next few days, you were lu’s only stylist
it was okay generally, but when he had a major appearance onstage it was a bit of a hassle
that happened like five days after the rest were fired
at that point, you and lu had begun talking more than before
while you styled him, you’d talk about whatever topic that came to mind
to anyone else, it looked like you guys had been friends for years
when in reality you had only known each other for little over a month
bAcK to The StORy
he was scheduled to have a stage performance at 12:00
it was 11:55
and he wAsNt reADy
so you were freaking out, rushing around trying to get your makeup pallets and hair gel, etc.
luckily he was already changed so you didn’t have to worry about that
but his face and hair was bare (not that it matters he’s a viSuAL--)
he was so amused, watching you scramble about
despite his amusement, he was extra sure to be helpful to you, seeing how stressed you were
he stayed completely still and tilted his head when you asked
when he’d usually mess with you for a bit before complying
now he was just listening in silence, knowing you were not in the mood for a conversation
after you had messed around with his hair using the gel and his makeup was done
you went to fix his outfit
you kept your eyes down as you inspected lu’s clothes
your hands would reach out every now and them to make small touch ups or to smooth over the fabric
your parent / lu’s manager was yelling out the time left, which was two minutes
so you worked faster
once you were done, you stepped back to admire your work aNd make sure everything was in place
in the midst of your work, you didn’t notice the lopsided grin he wore
which hugely complimented the clothes you had chosen for him
he honestly thought it was cute, seeing you so engaged in your work
“time to go!” his manager/your parent called out, ushering lu away from you
after his performance, lu couldn't find you
which was odd, since he usually met with you afterwards
when he asked his manager where you went, they snickered
but told him anyway“[Y/N] went outside for a bit-- got a call from their friend.”
lu nodded and stayed put, not wanting to pry in on your conversation
tho, when fifteen minutes passed he was b o r e d
so he decided, why not, and went out to find you
it didn't take long before he could hear you
making his way outside, lu poked his head out the door
he could see you, leaning against a brick wall with your phone to your ear
you were smiling so widely as you spoke
lu was kind of just wide eyed
a part of him wanted to stay outside to see why you were smiling like that
but the other part of him knew that that’d be invading your privacy so he went back inside
as he walked off, he found himself thinking of that smile of yours
he was so confused as to why he was thinking of it
it was weird
he kind of wanted to be the one to make you smile so brightly
the moment he thought that he literally walked into a wall
which also happened to be the moment you walked in
he met eyes with you, face flushing at the fact that you were laughing
“glad to know my pain is amusing for you.”
“it always is,” you joked, walking passed him, patting his shoulder as you passed
lu followed in silence, face still warm as he walked
while the two of you walked in silence, he noticed you wore a troubled expression
right before you were about to enter the waiting room, he stopped you, gently turning you around
“is something on your mind?”
“what?”
“you’re thinking about something and you’re thinking about it hard. is something up?” he raised a brow
you were blank faced for a moment before you let out a nervous chuckle
“well,,, i was going to wait until i could talk to my-- your manager, bUt,,,” you shrugged hesitantly, “i wanted to ask for time off tomorrow.”
“tomorrow? as in, when i have an important interview?”
you shook your head fervently, correcting yourself. “no, no, i’ll be here to get you ready but i have somewhere i need to be a few hours after it”
lu nodded in understanding before ushering you back in to ask
tHe nExt DaY (smooth transition, i know)
you actually managed to get lu ready long before his interview
so you all had time to kill
lu was playing some game on his phone and you were just cleaning up your supplies
suddenly, you got another call -- this time, a video call
lu found himself looking up as you answered it, a small smile instantly making its way onto your face
lu, being a lil shit, decided it’d be fun to do some random stuff in the bg while you talked with whomever
so, he basically crouched past with some weird expression
“oh. my. gosh. [Y/N] is that...”
“what?”
you turned around and made eye contact with him, just as he was pulling another weird face
there was a silence -- not including the freaking out your friend was doing -- before you burst into laughter
lu, though slightly embarrassed, followed after
“you’re luhan!” your friend gushed, gaining his attention “omL i love you--”
same
lu smiled before kindly making his way off camera to give you and your friend some privacy
at least, he tried to anyway
your friend very ‘subtly’ whispered to you, “[Y/N], please, let me get an autograph oR meet him i bEg Of YoU”
you took one glance at him before hanging up the call
not long after your phone blew up with messages from your friend
‘i’ll try, okay [Friend] chILL’
shoving your phone into your pocket you narrowed your eyes at lu
he thought you were glaring so he clumsily pulled out his phone and attempted to look like he was on it the entire time 
“very subtle, lu.”
“thanks, i try.”
you scrunched up your nose, contemplating on whether or not you’d really try to get some sort of fan service for your friend
without thinking, you blurted out the first thing you could think of
“let’s make a deal.”
lu looked up, intrigued.
meanwhile, you were internally freaking out
because you didn’t even mean to blurt that out
raising a brow almost impatiently, lu looked at you with a small smile indicating his mirth
“let’s go out--” you stopped yourself, wanting to hit your head against a door, “wait -- no, i worded that wrong--”
while you fumbled over yourself, lu leaned back against the sofa, covering his face as he laughed
“i saw an arcade on our way here. whoever wins three games first wins and --”
you didn’t even get to finish before lu interrupted
“okay,” he agreed, leaning back as far as he could, “you have a deal. if i lose, i’ll go with you, meet your friend.” 
he smirked, “but, if i win, you owe me a favour.”
he looked up at you, curiosity shining generously in his dark chocolate hues
a small, contented smile graced his features, blossoming over his cheeks like a carnation in its peak -- beautiful in all its glory
you blinked, thinking over his proposition
with a sigh, you held out your hand
“deal.”
within the hour, your parent was driving you guys to the arcade, clearly amused at your ‘bet’
“wear these,” they said, pointing to the pile of masks and caps on the middle console that they had handy just in case, “even in a dark arcade, someone could recognize you and those people will assume things.”
you were basically clinging to the car door, shocked that you were about to mess around in an arcade with lu han
when you arrived, you wobbled out of the vehicle, fully equipped with a mask and a cap even tho you arent at all famous and no one would know who you are
lu was in similar attire
“let’s go over here,” lu suggested, pulling you by the wrist once you entered the arcade
your face and body in general got really warm, your eyes trained on his hand
he was completely oblivious to your internal freaking out, his eyes facing forward
when he stopped walking, you were in front of a giant set up
“it’s like a racing / snowboarding simulator,” lu explained, stepping onto the platform “whoever gets to the bottom first wins.”
you nodded, stepping onto the platform opposite of him
it was snowboarding, how hard could it be?
you were very wrong
lu beat you in a mere two minutes, when the average time was at least five minutes
“i play this sometimes with my friends,” lu explained with a cocky grin not that you could see it
you narrowed your eyes, “you’re playing dirty,” you accused, though you weren’t really annoyed.
without a word, you hopped off the platform and took lu’s hand, just as he had with you, and pulled him in a random direction
oh, how the tables have turned
now you were unaware of the flustered expression lu wore
you brought him to a shooting game, one you had played a few times before with your cousins and friends
while you were playing, lu kept sneaking glances at you, which distracted him from actually shooting anything
he thought it was cute, how excited and into the game you were
like ten minutes later, you were victorious
lu just accepted it, because there was no way on earth in which he’d admit that he lost because he thought you were acting cute
since we’ve reached the 2k mark, imma be really blunt until the actual dating part
oops
basically you spent the next hour playing a bunch of games
and, whoopdido, he won three games before you
you were kind of bummed out bc you could tell your friend seriously wanted to meet him
but, a deal was a deal so you took it
“before we go,” lu randomly began, “let’s go to the claw machines.”
a part of you got super excited bc you haven’t used a claw machine in forever
when you got there, your eyes landed on a vv cute plush
tho, tbh, you absolutely sucked at the claw machine
lu noticed right away which plush caught your attention and inserted a coin into it
you watched in aWe as he got it first try
wow what a god
“here,” he practically threw the thing in your face
“let’s go,” he said, not even waiting for you to catch the plush
you bounded after him, looking down at your watch
“what time are you meeting your friend?” he asked, watching traffic pass by
“in an hour or so.”
“then, let’s go get some dinner before then.”
you didn’t say anything and merely followed as he brought you to some lowkey café (i have an addiction to adding cafés into my bulleted stuff)
at this point i got distracted by everyong for like half an hour oops
by the time you were sat down in an almost empty café
there was like 45 min until you were going to meet up with your friend
you spent like five whole minutes trying to figure out how you were going to say ‘oops couldn’t get anything from lu han for you lol’
when you looked up, you noticed lu was just looking at you, resting his chin on his palm
“what’re you staring at?”
“you.”
no shit bro
you rolled your eyes, looking down at the small menu the café had out on every table
“you’re interesting.”
i beg your pardon, you thought
“usually, people are practically dying in my presence. you’re quite calm though,” he tilted his head. “you know, i think i like you.”
luckily, you weren’t drinking anything, because if you were you would’ve done a spit take
“w h a t ?”
lu merely smiled before asking what you wanted, as if he hadn’t just told you that he likes you
you just spat out the first thing you saw, which happened to be a carrot cake or smth
if you dont like carrot cake feel free to subsitute
you ate in silence both kind of unsure of what to say
you were still speechless over lu’s sudden confession
and lu was beating himself up for being so blunt
when you finished, lu was back to looking at you
you subtly wiped at your face, just in case you had somehow gotten food all over it
“do you really?” you asked, deciding that the situation couldn’t go that downhill. “like me, i mean.”
“... yeah.”
“okay.”
you almost choked -- who says ‘okay’ in this situation?
lu, on the other hand, was chuckling. “’okay’” he teased
you stuck your tongue out, leaning back in your chair
there was a pregnant pause before lu cleared his throat
“honestly, what -- what are your feelings for me? other than ‘okay,’“
you stared down at the table, biting your lip as you glued together words
“i-- i like you too, lu.”
in the back the cashier was lowkey eavesdropping
lu’s face broke into a smile, as he looked down to hide his growing grin
“that’s good.”
he looked down at his watch, standing up “then, let’s go.”
“what?”
“your friend wanted to meet me right? so, let’s go.”
“but,,,, i lost our bet.” // “you did, so you owe me a favour.” he grinned back at you, “but, i’m going to be a nice boyfriend and go with you anyway.”
“boyfriend?!”
lu merely laughed, grabbing your wrist for the umpteenth time and hauling you out of the café
somewhere along the way, you found yourself shifting your hand and interlacing your fingers with his -- a silent confirmation.
wOw that only took 2.7k to get to the legit point of this post
smh me
so, dates with lu don’t come often, but when they do they’re amazing
he’s always making sure that you’re comfortable, so they’re usually not in public places just in case ppl recognize him
the last thing he’d want was for you to get mobbed by fans
a lot of your dates are late at night, whether they be walks, dinner at your/his house, movie nights, etc.
he’s so sweet too
like he’s very open with his feelings for you (not completely, the world has no idea of your relationship yet)
any of your coworkers can tell that you’re dating
but no one says anything bc they know that they could get fired if lu so pleased
he wouldnt tho, unless given reason
anyway
the few times that your dates are public
lu will do the weirdest things to make sure you don’t get recognized/seen
if he spots anyone with a camera he straight up kisses your cheek
which works bc the person usually turns away
generally
he’s just so sweet during your dates
and otherwise, ofc
but he’s also still lu, playful and such
snowball fights in the winter are a regular thing
moving on
kissing
honhonhon i regret
your first kiss with lu was spontaneous
you were at the arcade again, on one of your late night dates
a few other people were in the arcade, but not near you guys
you were playing the shooting game again, something that became tradition for the two of you and--
“hey, [Y/N]?”
“yeah?”
you took one look at him and suddenly his lips were on yours in a soft, gentle kiss
your hands froze on the plastic trigger, your eyes wide
before you could even do anything, lu pulled away with mirth shining in his eyes
“i won.”
you whipped your head toward the screen, and lo and behold, the infamous ‘YOU DIED’ screen was showing
“lu,,, you little shit”
“you love me”
“sadly”
kisses with lu, in general, have like three settings
the first being quick pecks, when the two of you are in a rush
whenever he has to go onstage, he’s sure to give you a quick kiss, whether it be on the lips, cheeks, forehead, etc.
he really likes kissing you
the second are slow and sentimental
these usually happen during your lazier dates
like you could be watching a movie on the couch and suddenly your kissing no further than tHat
he’d be so sweet during these times, his hand automatically cupping your face and his other tracing circles on your hip, leaving trails of goosebumps
the third,,,
oh dear
are a bit rough in a sense
these are rare, but they will happen without warning
usually when he gets jealous or you push his buttons too much
they’re messy kisses, but he puts his all into them and it’s very obvious
i’m blushing now so that’s as far as we’re going w that
MOVING ON
fights with lu don’t come often
he hates fighting with you and vice versa
but sometimes the two of you just get really stressed at end up lashing out at each other
this usually ends in the two of you giving each other the silent treatment
which is so difficult considering you’re one of his stylists
the main one, at that
the other stylists, newly hired, get so awkward whenever you guys fight
because there’s this giant tension between the two of you and none of them know what to do or say
however, you can only ignore each other for so long
it’s very divided between who cracks first
sometimes lu does
sometimes you do
sometimes you both just end up apologizing at the same time
either way, you both talk everything out
and make sure that no stone is left unturned
he’d probably really like honesty in a relationship, so it’d be very important to be open with one another (as it is in every relationship)
these fights end with cuddling, most of the time
in which he brings you as close to his body as possible
and wraps his arm around your waist
he’d love it if you wrap your arms around his torso and play with the ends of his hair
speaking of
if you play with his hair, he is putty in your hands
he even only lets you do his hair professionally
“lu, please, the rest of the stylists--”
“no, only you.”
“you c h i l d istg--”
but you love him
on the topic
your first ‘ily’ came about a month into your relationship
during that time, lu was on tour
and right before a concert, you came down with a seriously bad flu
so you had to stay at the hotel
lu called you before the concert, nervous
“lu, you’ll do great”
“but what if i mess up--”
he was so nervous, despite having done stages so many times in his life
to him, it was odd, not having you there
you had become his rock
he also loved performing knowing you were backstage rooting him on
“lu, hun, you’ll do great. and i know you have to go up now considering it’s two minutes to your stage. i believe in you!”
he was still shaken, but he knew you were right. “alright, bye. make sure to drink your medicine, alright?”
“okay~ i love you, bye.”
you hung up
only then did you realize what you had just said
which lead to you rolling around on your hotel bed, screaming into your pillow
meanwhile, lu was staring into space, his phone still to his ear
had he heard you right?
“lu! you’re up, let’s go.”
he looked over at one of his managers, nodding before putting his phone away
he then did his entire stage with a huge smile on his face
this is almost as long as my regular scenarios
so imma just stop here
anywho, a relationship with lu would be heaven
he’d treat you like royalty, because in his mind you deserve the best
so in all
he would cherish you, and when the time comes, he’d brag about your wonderfulness whenever he could
he really would love you, and hopefully you’d do the same
:)
is it obvious who my ot12!exo bias is this was so close to getting to 4k im

It All Changed For Him That Day
[[possible trigger warning??? I don't know, so just read at your own discretion I guess]] He stood outside of the entrance to the library, books in hand, staring, fixated, at the teen standing in the doorway to the chemistry lab across the yard. The man across the way had immediately captured his attention, and his heart. The stunning beauty, the pale complexity, the fluffy, almost white hair. It was in this moment that he knew his life had changed forever. This was going to be the first boy he'd ever killed. ---------- Alfred walked home, side-by-side with his twin brother. He gazed up at the sky, not hardly listening to anything his brother was saying. "Alfred, are you even listening?" Matthew asked, kicking his foot out to the side and almost tripping the other. "What's got you all moony-eyed, bro?" Alfred sighed wistfully. "Oh, dear brother of mine, I've fallen for someone." Matthew looked at him in shock. "Y-you don't mean..." he stumbled, disbelieving. "I do, Mattie. I think I've found the one!" he squeaked, looking to the other with his blue eyes practically shining in pent-up excitement. "Well, come on then! We've got to get home! There's so many things you need to tell me! So much to do, so much to do!" Matthew took his brother's sleeve in his fist, dragging him behind as they ran the last block to their shared apartment, books bouncing around in their bags. Matthew closed the door behind them and slung his book bag into the bedroom next to the door. He did the same to Alfred's, then ushered him into the small living area. "Come on, tell me about them," he pressed, curling up on one of the two cushiony nest chairs, practically pulling his brother down into the other one. "Well," Alfred started nervously, a dusting of red beginning to paint his cheeks, "It was a guy. He was tall, fairly well-built while still remaining slender enough to be almost feminine," he paused, "Kind of like a soccer player. But he had the palest skin, and the palest hair, like French royalty in the Elizabethan era, and he was leaving the chem lab which means he must be smart, too." Alfred swooned dramatically, almost tipping the chair over, then broke into laughter with Matthew. "Sounds like quite the dream," he commented once he calmed down a little, "But are you sure we'll be able to take him? He'll be our first actual person." Alfred waved his hand dismissively, "We've killed hookers before, this'll be no different." "Alfred, those girls were half starved, drugged off their asses, and thought they were goin' on a fuckin' vacation.  That hardly counts. This guy sounds to be in top condition. What if he overpowers us?" Matthew voiced his only concern, looking his brother over to make sure he knew what he was getting them both into. "Alright, alright," he compromised, putting his hands up, "What if we took out someone a little less drugged and starved than those girls, and a little less in-shape than him first. Then, in that time, I could maybe get to know this person a little better. Make it more personal." Matthew smiled, dark and sadistic. "Sounds like a plan to me." ------[cut about two weeks]----- "D'ya think we're ready yet, Mattie?" Alfred asked while working on his Russian finals essay. The weather was getting warmer, but there was still copious amounts of rain, which was what it was doing now. Silence, save for the constant patter of raindrops on the window, met his words. Finally, Matthew responded, drawing out his words carefully. "I think, that given the fact that the year will be ending soon, that yes, we should start preparing to pick this flower*. So, yeah, we're ready." "Then, we do it, finish this last year of school, then leave, right?" Alfred confirmed excitedly, rolling over on the floor so he could face his brother. "Right." "So, how're we gonna do it? Quickly, then toy with his corpse? Or play before he dies?" "It's your query; I will do whatever you see fit." Matthew smirked. "And, if I remember correctly, it was you who fell head-over-heels for him, am I right?" "And? At least I wasn't the one who almost drove us off of a bridge ogling at that French hitchhiker," he shot back teasingly. "Hey! He was great, and attractive, and funny, and almost killed us and dumped our bodies on the side of the highway! That's soul mate material right there, bro," Matthew defended himself and his current choice of a lover, "And he's good at fucking, unlike some people  I know." Alfred looked mockingly offended, putting his hand over his chest and gasping loudly. "How dare you insult my sexing abilities! I'll have you know that I am one-hundred-percent a good lay, through and through!" The two dissolved into loud, obnoxious laughter, letting it fall to fits of giggles before Alfred began speaking again. "So," he paused to giggle one last time, "if you are still sleeping with French-guy-who-ended-up-being-a-crazy-murderer, what if this guy ends up being some kind of crazy murderer too?" "You know, you're awfully imaginative, Al." ----------- Alfred checked through the black backpack for the sixth time since they'd gotten into the car, making sure that they didn't forget anything. "Alfred, we have everything. Quit being so jittery," Matthew chastised, then, softening his tone, "It'll be fine, Al." "I know, I know. I'm just so nervous! Excited, but god the butterflies are really getting to me," he whispered rapidly. Alfred fixed his shirt into place again, unable to sit still. The plan for the night was simple: Alfred and the flower, Ivan was his name, were to meet at one of the gay bars near campus. They were to talk, act like it was just any old date, and Alfred was going to drug the other's drink, offering his a ride. Just like any kind of date-rape, but with less rape and more homicide. The usual, really; nothing super out of place or unusual. They pulled up tp the club, the sidewalk in front of it bathed in the neon pink and green lights. Alfred scanned the few people outside, eyes quickly catching on the fair-skinned man he had completely and utterly fallen for. "Alright Mattie, here I go! Wish me luck!" he said, hopping out of the car and balancing on the edge of the curb. "Don't forget: midnight is your deadline. If you're not here I'm automatically assuming you've been caught and I'm tracking your phone. Keep it on you. Got it?" Matthew reaffirmed, waiting for the nod from his brother before driving off to pass the next couple hours. "Hey!" Alfred called, bouncing up to the other, "Ready?" -------- "Come on, we're goin' to my house, okay?" he almost whispered to the drugged man who he wwas supporting on his shoulder. The other mumbled something incomprehensible, then blacked out completely. "Ah, finally." "Come on, Al! I've got things to do, people to see!" Matthew beckoned, opening the passenger side door to their dark colored Chevy. Alfred stuck his tongue out, earning one in return, before settling the target into the backseat and jumping up to his spot in the front. "So, how'd it go?" his brother asked once they pulled out of the neon-lit parking lot. "Not as bad as I had thought it might, although I did have to fight off the urge to just fuck him there more than once." "Well, I'm glad you didn't," Matthew glanced into the back seat, "Because I agree that he's quite attractive. I think I might just join you in your play~" They laughed, and the car dissapeared into the darkness along the deserted highway. //Local Man's Body Found In The Woods! Local man Nikoli Braginski, 23, was filed as missing a month ago, and his mutilated body was found yesterday in the woods near Champaign exit of I-74. Authorities have discovered no leads as to what happened, although they suspect foul play. There have been traces of drugs and acidic materials recovered from the victim and the crime scene. Further details will be available as the story develops. ~*~*~*~ *'pick this flower'- their code for killing, since you cant just go around randomly talking about who youre gonna kill and expect to still get away with killing them (nikoli is the cameo son of ivan, fyi) *Also did you know that pure, fresh pinapple juice will dissolve meat? but it has to be fresh; canned wont have the same affect *also also that a rat/mouse 's body wont survive in mt dew long enough for it to make it to the consumer bc it will liquify? mt dew themselves used this (along with an experiment proving it) to prove that a lady was a liar when she sued them for finding a rat in her drink. fun, right? tbh this was way too much fun to write
