❝ Oooh well im still busy coming up with my ideas but maybe you can do a react when Reader comes to lair bringing the turtles a surprise gift? Like something they have really wanted forever! ❞
═════════════════════
Leo
You’ve been trying to figure out the perfect gift for this dude for MONTHS
You did you’re best to pry it out of him with no luck then out of his brothers with just about the same
You really had to stalk pay attention to this guy
You took notice of the neat little things he collected such as books and a little bonsai tree
(you totally didn’t snoop around his room for that)
You noticed he tend to like small things more surrounding a Japanese theme
That’s when you got the idea to get him what you got him— a table top zen garden that came with mini rakes, stones, mini bonsai tree, a bridge and of course white sand.
The description said it was supposed to help relax anD EVERYONE KNOWS THE LEADER NEEDED THAT
Gifting it to him was hard due to the mental debate on if he’d hate it or not—
this poor boy was just excited by the fact he was getting a gift but boy— WHEN HE OPENED IT AND SET IT UP
Leo fell in love with it, spending nearly hours combing new designs in the sand and rearranging it how he pleased— showering you in excited kisses as thank you’s
You: “Where’s Leo?”
Mikey: “redoing little sand thingy”
Raph
You were absolute tired of seeing this dudes knuckles busted up constantly, for having thick skin figuratively and literally, they were busted a lot—
The tape he wrapped around them was just about nothing so that’s when you took matters into your own hands
Due to his hand their obviously wasn’t going to be black leather gloves for him in store so you had to get creative and make your own
Do you know how hard it was to attempt to get measurements on this dudes hand? HARD
Had to pretend you had some weird hand fetish and was so interested in his hands for a week or so—
Once all the measurements were right and you were able to finally make the gloves, you had finally made thick black leather gloves accustomed to just the brute.
Once you gifted them to him you moved Raph to a silence (kind of made you panic)
That was until the large brute had you in a death grip of a hug— to say the least he was so thankful for them
Not only the idea but the fact you had taken the time to make them yourself had him over the moon—
Similar to Leo he had showered you in kisses and this dude now wears the gloves constantly, LOVES HOW THEY FIT AND LOOK
Donnie
As cute as the repaired glasses he wore were, you thought the terrapin deserved new ones
Gauging the blindness was kind of hard so you keep stealing his glasses and wearing them to your demise, they always gave you a headache—
It took a bit but once you finally found the right glasses you were ecstatic to give them to him
They had been a dark purple frame and you just wanted to be cliché about it
When you gifted them to him he looked aBSOLUTELY ADORABLE WITH THE PURPLE MATCHING HIS MASK
Donnie loved them and thanked you over and over again for them
He wears them all the time cause he quite literally has too :)
⬇️ mentally how you thought it was going to play out
“Y/n…”
“Yes??”
“It’s blurry-“
“sHIT-“
Mikey
It was simply an idea on a whim since you favored painting and we’re extremely bored
Buying a blank canvas of a skateboard, you got to work
When you were painting you mimicked the design or spray painting on a wall and painted Mikey’s name on it
All the painting was done on the plain bottom after you took apart the wheels
You set finish on it so it wouldn’t chip or scrape away easily before you gave it to him
Once you do, this dude is every word under the sun for happy
“Really?! For me?! You’re lying! I’ll take it!”
Mikey damn near bear hugs you and suffocated you but worth it to know the gift made him happy
Despite having a jet powered skateboard, the one you made him is his favorite to use around the house.

ands snippet: duck tolling and retrieving
as teased yesterday, the snippet on how vivienne meets tim, and how tim gets involved with the bats in this 'verse. tim accidentally noses his way into bat business and makes a mess. vivienne is the collateral and is not happy about it.
(tim is 11, jason is 13, dick is 18, bruce is early 30s and ros&vi are mid 30s)
if you guys spot cursed aughties teen fashion/styling choices -> @rozaceous and i made choices okay
===
In a rush of sudden, sobering clarity, Vivienne stands up from the table. "I need to make a call." She glares down at the preteen across the table and adds, "Don't run. You won't like it if I have to chase you down again."
Her captive audience nods, long bangs flopping comically with his vigorous motion. Wide baby blue eyes, looking at most 100 lbs sopping wet, still clutching his skateboard in a death grip—Timothy Jackson Drake would pass as a commonplace patron of Robinson Park. Innocuous. Benign. But the trouble he's caused her over the past month…
Right. That's why it was on sight for her as she was driving off for lunch break. But it's also a reminder that she doesn't often let her temper get the best of her, despite the naysayers at the office. She's curt and all business, and the type of work that's under her purview doesn't tolerate carelessness. Every action is carefully considered and executed to the best of her ability.
And this fucking teenybopper, this little skater boy, almost ruined everything.
Even so, her reaction was admittedly…rash.
"So, I might have done something rash," she says as such to Ros as soon as her girlfriend picks up the phone.
"You’re lucky I’m in between clients and you have ten minutes until I’m at Marius’s place.” Despite the snappy comment, Ros isn’t mad. Little chuckles come out naturally with her exhales as she walks. “Which closet do we need to clear out now? Can you fit everything into the car?”
“What? I’m not keeping a child in a closet!”
“—what?”
“—huh?”
Vivienne stops. Finds herself at a loss for words with the complete overshoot of the conversation’s trajectory.
“Go on—you have me piqued. Why do you have to put a child in a closet?” She pauses for dramatic effect, letting Vivienne stew. “Which, by the way, is not where we put children.”
“Okay, this phone call was…kinda rash, then,” Vivienne admits.
“Well, you’ve got me now, no take backs.”
“Okay, fine—I saw him.”
“Him?”
“The Termite.”
“…no. Nooooo, Vi, don’t—he—he’s still whole and healthy, yes?!”
“I’m already in a fucking metric ton of hot flaming garbage, I’m not adding homicide into the mess!” Vivienne hisses. She glances back through the crack of the door, view to the table clear where Drake—the Termite of her life, as they’ve been calling him for the last three weeks of this debacle—is still sitting like someone glued him to his seat. “…it could be aggravated assault if his parents catch wind.”
“Vi, I was joking, please tell me you’re joking.”
“He’s fine. Just rumpled from some. Um. Manhandling.”
Ros doesn’t say anything for a minute. But Vivienne knows her well enough to know that she knows Vivienne well enough to know exactly what happened.
Weeks of internal investigation, legal red tape, forced paid leave, all devices checked and wiped…it all forms the toxic legal mire that’s export control and proprietary information being so blatantly compromised. Important projects due for a midterm review halted. Possible lawsuits if collaboration was involved with certain data. The budget—
Forget the corporate throat-slitting some of the other D-Suites and ladder climbers are trying to leverage with this incident—annoying but ultimately, being the equivalent of Lucius’s favored workplace poodle means he’ll swat away all detractors. She won’t lose her position and it’s not like she cares to climb any higher.
But the indignity of the damage done from the harebrained plot of a fucking kid, to her—
That he targeted her and her device for some incomprehensible reason and fucking managed—
It’s like someone knocking on her front door, her opening to answer it in good faith, and they rush in to pee on the carpet before anyone would have the wherewithal to stop them.
What is anyone supposed to do in that situation? How is someone supposed to feel after that?!
She saw him ditching class at the skate park, like he didn’t have a single worry in his little puffball bobblehead brain, and admittedly lost her shit. He’s lucky she only scruffed him—she could have strung him up by his oversized crew neck sweater sleeves and tied him into a knapsack instead.
…a fucking emo kid skater boy, with the quintessential TWLOHA crew neck, managed to hack into her fucking laptop. The audacity.
“…That’s aggravated assault, yes.” Ros’s voice breaks through the current wave of anger.
Vivienne lets out a frustrated whine in response. They both let the situation sink in for a moment as they consider their next moves. It takes more than a minute but the mutual silence is productive.
“Well, he must be terrified out of his goddamn mind right now,” Ros brings the conversation back, tone forcibly casual.
“You’d immediately fall for his ‘I’m baby’ wet eyes if you were here,” Vivienne says. The quipping grounds her, brings her back to focused assessment.
Ros laughs and it makes her feel better immediately. “Considering Kevin fears for his immortal toad-shaped soul every time you breathe around him and you actually like him, the Termite might count himself lucky to escape with life and limb intact.”
Huh. That…might be the play here.
“Of course, just a talking-to, and then I’ll send him on his way,” Vivienne promises. “Being that he nearly got away with what he did, I don’t think he understands that he’s bitten off more than he can chew. It’s only fair that someone tells him.”
“Yeah, it could be worse next time—skipping grades straight to Yale,” Ros agrees.
“All Yale, no Yob.” Vivienne’s chest feels lighter. It’ll be fine. “Okay, thanks for picking up. I’ll see you tonight?”
“Won’t be too late. Oh, and I’m sending the cavalry with the expensive lawyers your way.”
“Oh Jesus, no—”
“—bye!” And Ros hangs up.
Vivienne looks at her phone. She has…twenty minutes to an hour to impart the fear of god and federal-level criminal repercussions without outwardly threatening a twelve-year-old. In a public, if secluded, restaurant.
At least she asked for private seating?
Whatever, she’s worked with less. Vivienne rolls her neck, hears the satisfying crack, breathes in deep, and puts her Workplace Smile on before making her way back to where she’s left the Termite.
===
“You vibrating the car isn’t going to make us go faster,” Dick calls out peevishly. “Are you auditioning for the Flash?”
“Shut up, Dickiebird. I’m worried about Aunt Vi,” Jason snaps back. He does stop shaking his leg, though.
Dick’s worried, too, which is why he’s trying to concentrate on the road—traffic picks up earlier on Fridays, and he doesn’t need to add a car accident on top of extracting Aunt Vi from a possible lawsuit, on top of the information security compromise she’s currently dealing with. Jason’s obnoxious frosted tips keep distracting him in the periphery every time he turns his head, looking out the windows like he can mentally will the car to teleport.
Why the hell did Aunt Vi egg Bruce on to let Jason do that to himself? And why the hell did Aunt Ros not stop either of them?
…if Aunt Vi goes to jail for murdering a kid, justified anger or not, none of these questions will be answered, and though Aunt Ros is a deft hand with Bruce she’s not the one that wrangles the Batman.
Jokes aside, he’s not as worried as Jason because Aunt Vi’s not the type to get violent, even if her demeanor is like a psychic aura that inflicts fear based on proximity. It’s not like she beats people up, even at her workplace where her subordinates scuttle like little bugs around her. She doesn’t even swat at Bruce when he’s pissing her off, despite having the stones to jab her finger into his chest plate as she reams him out for fucking up the Batmobile’s suspensions again.
But she’s usually in control or a position of power. She’s never been made to lose her cool; at least, not while Dick’s been around to see or hear about it. This is the first time she’s been brought this low—even when Bruce was bleeding out all over her that night, Aunt Ros performing first aid on panicked autopilot, Aunt Vi was coolly deciding their next move to get Bruce to safety unnoticed. She had no qualms plucking the control fob for the Batmobile from him and told him to, “Sit the hell down, boy—that car’s more mine than His Dark Grace’s, with the amount of man-hours I’ve put in.”
(And he did sit the hell down at that tone.)
Little Timothy Drake did a number on her; Dick can’t help but feel guilty for not nipping it properly in the bud when they first met. He’s still not sure what to make of the kid. It’d be easy to write him off as an obsessed thrill-seeker, one of those nuts on the conspiracy boards he checks every so often…but what he did goes beyond the risk and effort for those types. From Aunt Vi’s recounting and Bruce’s investigation, it’s most likely that Timothy swapped her USB dongle for a fake one—a ducky—when he was visiting Drake Industries on the day she was meeting with the Drakes themselves. From that, he brute-forced connected to her laptop and was able to hold her device hostage unless she heard him out.
Aunt Vi’s never the type to let herself get pressed. She immediately shut it all down and turned her everything over to WayneTech’s IT department, which then got their internal affairs department involved. If only that was the end of that—she explained, with forced patience to Jason’s naive questioning, that she might also be in trouble with federal regulations because of the type of projects she has her hands in and what data might be compromised from the incident. And then because she’s private sector, IP laws and proprietary rights might be involved as well. So, the legal department was now involved as well as law enforcement.
“But you didn’t give the hacker anything?!” Jason was indignant on her behalf.
“Doesn’t matter. Compromised is compromised. I’d be facing federal prison if I didn’t report it and something got traced back to me.” She looked exhausted, despite being two weeks in on her forced paid leave while Lucius Fox put out fires on her behalf. “This is serious shit, Jason. Can’t just yell or punch it away.”
It took a few days for Bruce and Dick, off the books, to establish with high confidence—based on scant security footage, careful questioning, and timetable corroborations—that a kid literally walked into the meeting room of his parents’ company, plugged something in, and walked right out. The laptop has already been scrapped by IT so they couldn’t trace the connection to confirm. But there was enough circumstantial evidence, along with hints that Timothy knew their identities when they met, that this was some desperate attempt to get into contact with Gotham’s nocturnal denizens.
He sure has what he wanted, now. Bruce looked into everything—him, his parents, their dealings, contacts, family friends, family history, his nannies, hired help. Janet and Jack Drake, with Drake Industries in a bit of hot water, started arranging discreet shipping services for certain families with points of contact in Gotham. Likely, something about that situation spooked the kid into asking for help in all the wrong ways.
Thing is—Aunt Vi’s collateral. There are a few things she’ll admit to hating with a passion: unnecessary collateral (with that, wastefulness), ungratefulness, and cockroaches dead or alive. What she’ll never admit to hating: Dick’s hair (he’s working on it, it just needs a little time), being caught off-guard, and needing to ask for help. Here, she’s their collateral, caught off-guard in the worst way, she needs their help, and this could have all been avoided if they took a direct approach earlier. Aunt Vi doesn’t do upset well, so she gets angry. And she doesn’t like getting angry, so it makes her angrier.
She doesn’t have an outlet right now. All she has had to do for two weeks was to sit with her anger and think. She’s really good at thinking hard, and even better at acting decisively when she’s done.
Oh jeez…last Bruce heard from Aunt Ros, the kid’s still alive. Dick prays it stays that way.
===
They pull into the valet parking lot of the restaurant given by the address. Both him and Jason give it a once over, make eye contact, and come to the same conclusion: it’s too nice of a place for Aunt Vi to lose her shit in. Homicide is looking less likely with each passing minute. As for Timothy’s mental state—jury’s still out on that one.
It takes a bit of name-dropping to get the maître d' to lead them to the private dining parlor where Aunt Vi and her victim are seated. The main dining room isn’t too busy at the moment and none of the patrons look perturbed. That means no yelling or hysterics thus far. When they reach the parlor and the maître d' smartly dismisses himself to get more waitstaff, Dick can finally see the situation. Jason sucks in a breath through his teeth.
“Early dismissal today?” Aunt Vi dabs the corners of her mouth with the serviette before facing them. Yikes—she has that smile on. “You two must be hungry, then. Come sit; keep Little Timothy company.”
Dick doesn’t know a single kid over the age of seven that would tolerate being called ‘Little’ the way Aunt Vi does. Contrary to that, Luke’s his age and bitches non-stop about Aunt Vi condescending him, yet he’s the first to ask “how high?” if she orders everyone to jump (he also takes everything she says as gospel, but that’s neither here nor there). In the same way, Timothy looks like a bug subjected to the sun under a magnifying glass, writhing and dying under her considering gaze. Not that he’s actually dying at the table—it’s just the terrified misery on his face, and the way he squirms without showing signs of wanting to bolt. It’s like he can’t bring himself to even think of fleeing.
Aunt Vi, on the other hand, is back to her regular polish and cool affect. Lipstick without a single smudge, hair pinned, business wear tailored to the millimeter. She looks untouchable and far from the wanness of just a few days ago. That smile, in particular, means nothing good for the recipient. It’s not a happy smile; in fact, it’s not a smile at all—the expression is the socially acceptable version of a predator baring their fangs before going for the throat.
Nonetheless, he and Jason immediately take their seats. It should seem like the two of them are flanking Timothy on Aunt Vi’s behalf, but it feels more like ‘her half of the table’ and ‘their half of the table.’ Dick catches her once-over of both him and Jason, the micro-expressions of judgment before flattening, and then she reaches over to baby Jason.
“You’ll like this,” she says like it’s a foregone conclusion, neatly cutting up a portion of the fish on her plate and placing it on Jason’s. “If not, there’s another dish that’ll sit well with you until dinner.”
“I’m not being starved,” Jason protests, but he immediately picks up his fork and eats what she puts on his plate.
“And you”—Dick freezes when she turns to him—”eat a fruit and get some sunlight. Did you find your true calling as a ninja turtle up in New York?” She says ‘New York’ with the typical Gothamite sneer that’s now noticeable after being back in town.
Her comment, however, makes his face immediately heat up out of his control. But he still tries to do what he came here for; if it wasn't for Bruce's literal cracked ribs, Dick wouldn't bother being 'delegated'. “Uh, Aunt Vi, B sent us to help you out?” The way his voice cracks at the end makes him want to wince.
Jason snickers and Dick kicks him from across the table.
“No need. It’s Little Timothy that needs your help, rather,” she says, turning her gaze onto the kid in question. He looks at them with the comically bug-eyed expression that combines the remnant of fear, incredulity, and quiet awe. “If you’ll tell them what you told me?” She gives him an expectant look.
Timothy rattles off on command. Thankfully, they’ve been looking into the Drakes recently, otherwise the deluge of information that spills out of him would be a mess to keep up with. Most of what he says has been covered by their investigation, some bits add more context, and it turns out the Drakes’ lives are in more danger than their outside perspective showed.
And damn, does this kid get around.
“Very good,” Aunt Vi stops him. “I’ll leave it in your capable hands,” she tells Dick—who feels himself automatically straightening his posture—and then looks down at her watch. “Lunch ran later than I wanted. Make sure Little Timothy gets home. He could do with more supervision.” She gets up from the table and pushes in her chair, grabbing her handbag from the console table by the parlor door. “Feel free to order more if you’re hungry, it’s on my tab. And Little Timothy”—the kid snaps up at the address—”remember to tell your parents.”
“Y-Yes, Ma’am!”
The three of them wait until the clacking of her heels disappear once far enough into the main dining space, and both Dick and Jason turn towards Timothy. He shrinks back at the sudden attention.
“I’m really sorry,” he blurts out, looking miserable and contrite. “Ms. Yang said I caused a lot of trouble that could have made things worse for me, and I really didn’t mean to—”
“—kid, it’s fine—”
“—I just needed help,” he ends his verbal vomit on that browbeaten note.
Dick and Jason give each other discreet looks.
“We know, we’re gonna help,” Jason says. “It’s taken a bit of time, but we have a plan, okay?” He then peruses the spread on their table. “We should get dessert.”
“I’m down,” Dick says with a shrug. “And then let’s get you home, Timothy?”
“…Tim,” he mumbles.
“Tim—pick whatever dessert you want, and I’ll take you home, alright?” Dick coaxes the kid. “Don’t want your parents to worry.”
Jason perks up. “Right…wait, what did Aunt Vi want with your parents?” He gives Dick a quick look. “Thought she just told us to ‘handle it.’”
The distress that was slowly ebbing away with Aunt Vi’s departure suddenly wells up again on Tim’s face. He looks completely beside himself.
“She, uh, some—something about an internship? At WanyeTech.” Tim doesn’t look like he knows enough details to explain. “Which is really cool, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t know what—” he clams up again. It’s apparent he has no idea what to make of anything and looks to be giving himself a huge headache with trying to detangle his thoughts. “Aren’t I in a huge boatload of trouble? I already messed up with the laptop, what if I mess up on this internship?” His hands grab at his hair. “I don’t think I’m allowed to say no if I’m being offered an internship like that?”
“Sixth graders don’t get offered internships,” Dick says slowly. “And why do you even know about them?”
“My parents talk about them a lot,” Tim explains, tone still miserable and panicked. “And I know—so maybe I’m still in trouble and Ms. Yang is going to set me up to get in trouble because she already knows—”
Jason’s expression says it all: ‘Forget I asked.’
Dick agrees. Whatever Aunt Vi did to lecture poor Tim Drake—she now lives as a rent-free boogeyman in his mind. Come what may, that’s not his business anymore. As long as Tim’ll make it life and limb intact, that’s all Dick is able to handle.
===
end summary:
tldr vivienne points out exactly the shitload of trouble tim's hacking could have gotten him into, especially because he got caught. she's also dissecting his whole plan and ripping it (and his fragile preteen ego) to shreds the entire time.
bc tim actually is a smart freak and vivienne's been around enough of these smart freaks to know you can't ignore them, the 'internship' is more like summer camp + keeping tim out of trouble + her fixating on his thought processes and going "no. wrong. do better."
the hacking investigation does go away, was hairy for a bit
he ends up following her around like a little duck, coupled with the ducky and his last name, ros nicknames him 'duckie', he doesn't end up caping in this 'verse. runs comms and ops, tho
dick to luke fox: lol aunt vi's replaced you
dick, later: i did not mean to make a 17yo start beefing with an 11yo

a/n: okay, this isn't my best work but I wanted to post something. It's been a while and I really want to get back into writing. I have about 4 WIP, watch out for em :)
pairing(s): steve harrington x clumsy!fem!reader
warning(s): busted knees, not proofread i'm sorry
blurb about reader trying out skating and getting hurt
Tumblr media
You took a deep breath outside of Family Video, preparing yourself to open the door and face your boyfriend. Usually visiting Steve at work, it was a happy experience, nothing but giddiness. But today you knew he was going to scold you and you really didn’t want to hear his ‘I told you so’ speech.
Steve walked to the back room of the store and that’s when you decided to sneak in, skateboard in hand. The grip tape scraped against the skin on your hand as you gently put the board on the ground next to your legs.
“Hey, sweet thing.” Steve was surprised to see you, especially when you had told him you were going to spend the day with Max. “I knew you couldn’t spend a whole day without seeing me.” He leaned his body over the wooden counter, planting an exaggerated kiss on your lips.
“Yeah, I’m an addict now.” You forced a smile, and you knew he would see right through it. “Gotta get my daily fix.”
“What’s wrong?” His brows furrowed.
There was a moment of a silence as you hesitated. “You can’t be mad, okay?” You started to bite the inside of your cheek, trying your best to keep your nerves in check. He was definitely going to be at least a little mad, you knew that for sure.
When you first decided you were buying a skateboard, you shared your thought with your boyfriend. Steve was not as enthusiastic about the idea. He tried his best to talk you out of it and when he saw you weren’t going to give up on the idea, he tried to convince you to buy some protective gear. Imploring you to put on a helmet or something. His concerns for your safety weren’t unwarranted. You were the girl that tripped over her own feet, the thought of you on wheel made him wince. Of course, you refused the suggestion of protective gear. ‘I’m gonna look like a dork.’ Were your exact words.
You walked around the counter when you saw Steve nod his head. Now standing on the same side of the counter, he could see you fully. His eyes immediately went from your face to your bright red knees.
“(y/n), Jesus Christ. What happened?” He stepped off the stool he was sitting on and pushed it towards you, urging you to sit down.
This wasn’t the first time he’s seen your knees busted up, or your elbows, or your hands, but it never made it any easier. And honestly, you would probably have double the scrapes if you weren’t with Steve most of the time. He was always moving you out of the way of things or moving things out of your way.
Steve grabbed tissues from the box of them that sat on the counter. He was on his knees, gently dabbing the blood off yours. He had become quite good at tending to your wounds, he’s learned that practice does, in fact, make perfect.
“I was at the skatepark with Max,” You grimaced at the first pat on injured skin. “She was teaching me this new trick and… well, I fell.” You were ashamed to admit it. These situations always made you feel like a child.
“You have to be more careful! I told you to wear those dumb knee things.” He nagged. “What if you had smacked your head instead?” Steve got up and walked into the office. “Ya gotta think!”
He was right and you knew he was, but your chest tightened watching him be so upset with you.
“You just do things and think later.” He walked back out with a first aid kit in hand. Steve looked at you, you were picking at the end of your long sleeve, a frown fixed on your pretty face. It made his heart splinter realizing he was the reason you looked so sad.
He sighed, putting the red plastic first aid kit on the counter next to you. “I’m sorry, I don’t mean to yell at you.” He whispered. “I just… I love you so much and I don’t want you to get hurt. Do you have any idea how hard it is to see you banged up all the time?”
“I know. I’m sorry.” You reached out and grabbed his hand. “I’ll do some stretches or something to help my balance.”
“Shut up.” Steve laughed. “I’m getting you those knee pads. You’re already a dork, it won’t matter if you look like one.”
“Okay, I’ll just wear them all the time, even when I’m not skating.”
“Yeah, good idea.” He chuckled, a big smile on his lips as he pressed a kiss to yours.

I was thinking about Logan's green grip tape and yellow wheel skateboard
Tumblr media
Here are some Skater boi headcanons:)
Logan and Jacob got into skating when Scotty moved to their class and they all became friends. Scotty had been skating forever bc of his older siblings. He had lots of handed down little boards that he gave to Logan and Jacob. Logan still has his first board that Scotty gave him.
It took Logan two full months to get an ollie down and it took Jacob three days. Logan was totally not jealous at all, nope, no way. It was the first trick they learned.
As little boys, they hurt themselves a lot trying to do tricks and ramps
They buy the supplies and put together their own boards (picturing him put his green grip tape and yellow wheels on. Freaking precious)
They all watch skating videos a lot. They argue about the best skaters, but all agree to worship Rodney Mullen as the god of skaters.
As teenagers they make fun of people who only know tony hawk. As adults they are less judgy but they still laugh bc it's their inside joke.
Logan's favorite trick to do is a 360 flip (don't ask him how long it took for him to master the move, he gets really defensive about it for some reason)
They love vans shoes for skating, obvs
Logan skates well into adulthood, literally until he can't physically do it anymore.

Since Fushimi can't skateboard to save his life, let's say, he instead studies the physics and "tech" in skateboard creation. He researches the best materials for the grip tape, deck, trucks, wheels, bearings, hardware, bushings, everything. He researches the aerodynamics and best shape for the deck. He even researches the best paint or designs for the decks that won't wear out. And he always then upgrades Yata's skateboard(s) for him as a way to say that he might not exactly enjoy the same hobby as his boyfriend but it's hobby-adjacent and is his best effort to be a good boyfriend himself.
This kinda reminds me of Sk8 except I’m not sure how Fushimi became the Reki to Yata’s Langa XD This would be cute though, Fushimi trying to find a way to support his boyfriend’s hobbies in his own fashion. Like imagine post-ROK and maybe Yata’s been doing competitions and such so he’s really into his skateboarding now, treating it as a possible career. He likes to spend time just skating around and of course he’s tried to get Fushimi into it too, like something else they can do together, but somehow despite being ridiculously talented in like everything else Fushimi cannot skateboard to save his life. Yata tells him it’s fine, you can just watch me and give encouragement (Fushimi clicks his tongue and Yata’s like ‘I mean…as much as you’re able to anyway’). 
Fushimi secretly feels a bit down about this though, like this is something Yata enjoys and Fushimi can’t really do anything but watch. One day Yata’s practicing on the roof and one of his boards breaks, he sets it next to the couch where Fushimi’s watching him and goes to get a new board, sighing like I wish I could afford a really cool board. Fushimi looks at Yata’s broken board and starts thinking, like imagine he’s not even paying attention to Yata at this point and Yata gets a little exasperated like what’s so interesting about a broken skateboard. Fushimi just keeps looking at it, spinning the wheels idly and Yata sighs all I’ll leave you two alone.
A week or so later Yata hasn’t seen Fushimi much at all lately and assumed he must have been super busy with work. He’s surprised and kinda concerned when he finds out that Fushimi actually unexpectedly took the week off, like is he being ignored or something. Fushimi sends Yata a text to meet at Yata’s apartment and Yata’s a little apprehensive, wondering if he’s being broken up with. When he gets there though imagine Fushimi looking a little disheveled but happy as he presents Yata with a new skateboard. It looks different from any board Yata’s had before and Yata wonders if it was super expensive. Imagine him trying it out and it’s the best skateboard he’s ever ridden, like it’s so smooth and sturdy and fast it’s amazing, seriously how much did you spend to buy this Saruhiko. Fushimi gives Yata the kind of confident smile that reminds Yata of when they were kids as he says he made it.
Yata’s just in awe, like Saruhiko you really are amazing. He loves the skateboard, it’s his absolute favorite but he didn’t know Fushimi could make skateboards. Fushimi shrugs like it’s a simple matter of studying the structure and aerodynamics and applying your knowledge, Yata has no idea what most of that means but it sounds smart. After this Fushimi basically becomes Yata’s unofficial ‘mechanic,’ he’s always upgrading Yata’s skateboards and testing out new styles and feeling all gratified when Yata smiles at him so widely and calls him amazing. Yata loves this not just because he’s getting awesome new skateboards but also because now it feels more like skateboarding is something they’re doing together, like even if Fushimi can’t skateboard alongside him Yata feels like Fushimi’s always there with him.

Hot tip: If you, like me, find that the majority of fidget/stim products are either too soft or too smooth and need something rough, I highly recommend going out to buy a roll of grip tape. Like the stuff you put down on metal stairs or ladders or your skateboard to keep from slipping.
Yeah there are those calm strips or whatever but a lot of those are kinda overpriced imo, and not even all of them have the right texture anyway (for me at least). Whereas grip tape you get a whole roll so its gonna last way longer, and its still sticky so you can put it on whatever.
Literally the best thing I ever did was buy some, cut it to shape and stick it all over my old fidget cube. It went from being virtually useless to being the thing I carry with me all the time.

Chapter Summary: You decide Skateboarding is the best way to get the attention of a certain classmate...and it works
A/N: No, because when I wrote this I was under the impression that Andrew Garfield was like 6’2” but he’s like 5’10 ½”. He’s a whole 2 ½ inches taller than me 😭😭😭
I’m not changing anything now though it’s too late.
Also, this started as a drunk dare and now I'm here
Tumblr media
Peter Parker. I mean where to begin? You’ve had a crush on him for a long time. You both grew up in the same school district, so you got to watch him grow up, grow into himself. As a kid, he wore a lot of sweaters and khakis. He looked very put together. Peter would get picked on because kids said he dressed funny, but he was still carefree. In the 4th grade, Peter got chunky glasses and it wasn’t long before they were covered in tape. He liked to play with chalk and sticks and seemed to be in his own little world. You wanted to join it but he seemed to like the solitude. You watched it all from the swings.
In middle school, his clothes were baggy and his glasses were still chunky. He got picked on a lot more. Now that you were old enough to understand the concept of wealth it was more evident that his family didn’t have much. You had Spanish class together and the assignment was to present your family tree in Spanish. To get full points you had to include pictures and a fun fact about each member of your tree. Peter didn’t seem too keen on presenting but you couldn’t blame him. Eugine was in this class and loved any opportunity to tease the poor lanky boy.
As Peter presented you realized that it was a very small tree. The pictures of his grandparents were old, which made sense, but the picture he used for his parents was odd. They seemed very young, like in their very early 20’s. The clothing was dated as well, very ninety’s-esk. The pictures of his aunt and uncle looked like they were pulled straight from Facebook. As Peter spoke you noticed he was twisting his hoodie string around his finger, forwards, backwards, back and around. You would watch as his index finger turned red, then blue, then back to normal. His voice wavered as he stuttered over consonants. It wasn’t missed to the class when he skipped over his parent’s “fun fact”.
Finally, it was over and there was tentative, polite applause. He seemed to take a deep breath and started to make his way back to his seat before Senora Willis stopped him. She was probably trying to be nice, perhaps thinking he was just so nervous that he forgot. She just wanted to make sure Peter got all his points but in all actuality, she put him under a glaring spotlight, gave him a mic, and made him declare that he didn’t have a fun fact for his parents because they died when he was young.
“I don’t remember much about them.”
After that, he got teased a lot more but by fewer people. Isn’t it odd how a bully’s brain works? See, because now, everyone knew he was an orphan some people laid off, pitying him instead of terrorizing him, while others felt as though they were just given a full clip of ammunition. Then there were the few who fell in the middle, they didn’t treat him any differently, but that still meant that they were bullying him.
That’s when he started skateboarding. Every day he would hop off the bus, board in hand, and glide away. You always assumed it was because it’s harder to hit a moving target. At this point, you were thirteen. All the right hormones were in place and the gods had given you a soft-spoken boy with brown eyes and curly hair. It doesn’t take a mathematician to solve this equation. Although maybe it did because as smart as that Peter Parker was he was not catching onto any of it. No matter how many smiles, waves, or awkward ‘Hey Peter’s you gave him.
You were now juniors in high school. He seemed to have finally grown into his clothes, his glasses were replaced by contacts, and now he rode his skateboard in the halls. School had been in session for two months now and you had chemistry together. He sat one table ahead of you, to the left. You spent all of class trying to focus on the lecture and labs but ultimately you would always be distracted by a mop of curls. October 8th marked the day you decided to end this endless infatuation. You would actively pursue him until winter break and if nothing happened you would just forget it. You had been working at the local movie theatre for a few months and while you were saving up for a car you could make an exception for a trip to the mall.
You felt very out of place in this Vans shop. You had seen a sticker on the back of his board with this store on it so you thought you would start here. You didn’t know much about skate culture but you didn’t want to look stupid. You picked up a magazine and thumbed through it for a while before you heard someone clear their throat behind you. You were met by the confused gaze of an employee with a blue fauxhawk, gauges, and a teddy fresh hoodie. He smiled at you politely as you placed the magazine back in its caddy.
“How can I help you?” It was a completely normal and warranted question but you felt silly for being asked. You looked down at the ground deep in thought. How were you supposed to explain that you wanted to get the attention of a boy you’ve been infatuated with since you were six and the only thing you could think of was that he possibly shopped here.
“Um…well…you see…” The employee sat there quietly waiting for you to answer.
You galnced back up and almost as if he could see your discomfort and confusion he spoke again, “Maybe we should start with a skateboard?”
You pulled a face and he snickered. “I’m sorry if I offend, it’s just that I haven’t seen you in here before, and you don’t exactly look like Tony Hawk.”
At that you laughed, pushing your hair out of your face, a nervous habit you picked up somewhere. “I didn’t realize it was that obvious” you chuckled to yourself.
“It’s all good, really” The man smiled at you again. He started walking to the back of the store and gestured for you to follow. He helped you find a board, you picked out some trucks, some bearings, and some cool wheels to go with it. He even assembled them for you. You walked out feeling a lot better but then suddenly it hit you.
You had to learn how to ride one of these things. You walked your board over to a Walmart and bought a cheap helmet and a protective set with knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist protectors. You didn’t think you were quite ready for a skate park so you just rode the bus home. You pulled up youtube videos and tried your best in the driveway. You practised every day after school or work, and soon it wasn’t so hard. You could do the two important parts, stop and go. Now it was time for part two, bring it to school.
You rode the bus that morning very anxious. You were blasting some feel-good tunes into your ears to try and settle some of your nerves. As you walked off the bus you took a deep breath and set the end of the board under your toes while holding onto the top, just like you had rehearsed so many times the night before. You stepped forward with your front foot and pushed off, taking sail. So far this was working perfectly. You went up the ramp to the front doors before stopping and kicking it back up into your hand.
As you made your way to your locker you made sure to rest your board against your leg, very visible, so that Peter may spot it on his daily commute past you in the hall. What you didn’t know was that Peter had seen you on your way in when he rounded the corner. He didn’t know you skated. You seemed pretty okay at it too. He sped up to try and catch up to you, maybe get the door for you, but you had already stepped inside.
He wished in this very moment that he wasn’t so damn awkward. If he called your name out you may be weirded out, or you just wouldn’t hear him because you had your earbuds in. Also, he realized he didn’t remember your name so that just wasn’t an option. If he ran then that may also scare you. What was he gonna do, stop you and say “cool skateboard” but then what? He had no clue how to approach you. Now that he was in the halls he was looking for you, he hoped your locker was in this wing.
You continued pretending to be searching through your locker, keeping an eye on the mirror on the door hoping to see him skate by. A few minutes later he passed you, moving faster than usual. He was scanning the hall and maybe you were crazy but he seemed surprised when he saw you. Maybe he had seen you! You felt butterflies in your stomach at the prospect. You hastily stuffed your board in your locker and grabbed the books you needed for class.
As you made your way to first period you missed Peter as he circled back to see you again. He couldn’t remember which one was exactly yours but at least he knew the general area. Maybe he would talk to you tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow is good, that’ll give him time to plan some conversation starters.
You had to hang back and talk to your teacher after second period to go over some questions you had about the study guide. You were rushing through the halls trying to make it to chem on time. Your teacher’s policy was if you weren’t “in your seat” when the bell rings you’re late and you have to go to the office for a tardy slip. You stepped inside right as the bell rang and Mr Crawford gave you an annoyed glare as he jerked his head to your desk, silently warning you to take your seat before he changed his mind. You bowed your head to him and walked briskly to your seat, but not before risking a glance at Peter.
Peter saw you walk in and felt shocked. He knew you. You had always been so kind to him. Oh god, what was your name again? It was on the tip of his tongue. Had you been in his class this whole time? He would have to pay more attention to roll. As Mr Crawford began to unceremoniously drone out the names for America’s future, Peter began to glance back to where you sat. You were still setting up for class, pulling out pens, folders, and journals. “Parker, Peter” Suddenly his attention was brought back to the front where Mr Crawford’s glasses hang low on his nose as he stares at a piece of paper. Peter threw his hand up and declared “Here, sir” as Mr Crawford glanced in his direction to confirm his claim.
As Peter glanced back he saw you were already looking at him. You quickly turned away, sorting your pens, trying to play it off. Peter couldn’t help but grin at this. You had been looking at him. Did you do that often? He couldn’t imagine you did. His attention was broken again when he saw your hand shoot up into the air as you called “Here!” just as he had a few seconds ago. Dammit! He missed your name again!
“Maybe” Crawford began in his almost antagonistic drone “tomorrow you can be more punctual ms (y/l/n)”
“Of course sir.”
Okay so he had a last name, that’s better than nothing. He really needed to pay more attention.
Today was a lab day. There was an odd number in the class so Peter opted to be the only person without a partner. He was always more of an introvert anyway and it’s not like he needed the help. Chemistry was his best subject and it had always come very easily to him, perhaps he had his parents to thank for that. Perhaps he would never know. Today though, He wished he did have a partner and that you were said partner. You shared a similar thought. Your lab partner was Trevor Daniels, he was a nice guy all things considered but he didn’t actually help out with the labs. He claimed that you were “better at this stuff anyway” and just wrote down what you told him to.
The assignment was simple: mix some salt, copper, and aluminium together and see what happens. Peter was flying through the lab when he came up with a genius plan. He went to the sink and dumped the liquid he had and then threw away any evidence of success, going as far as to rip out his lab notes. He went back to his table with a new determination. To the vials he added two scoops of the copper to the beaker and filled it the rest of the way with water, leaving out the salt.
You seemed to be handling this lab well considering there were no measurements given for the assignment, which meant that you must have balanced the equation correctly. Peter wasn’t at all surprised by this. He saw that you were cleaning up your station. You were the Third one done (Well fourth but Peter technically didn’t finish). There were still twenty minutes of class left. He straightened his jacket before he headed over to you. You were on your phone and didn’t notice him approaching you until he lightly rapped his knuckles on your desk.
You looked up at him and he tried his best not to laugh. The goggles had left a red ring around most of your face. It did look quite silly but also quite adorable.
“Excuse me, I’m sorry it’s just I saw that you finished up and I seem to be struggling for some reason. If you could help me out I would really appreciate it.” Okay, the delivery could have been a little better but it wasn’t so bad, nothing he couldn’t recover from.
You knew that something was up immediately. Peter was the first one done every time with perfect execution. How could he possibly be struggling with this easy lab that was definitely an “I don’t wanna grade” assignment?
He sensed your hesitancy and brought his palms together resting his fingers on his lips, a silent prayer, “Please, (y/l/n) I could really use the help.”
You weren’t going to turn him down in the first place but how could that thought even cross your mind when he’s towering over you, those puppy dog eyes boring into your very soul. “Yeah of course, just let me grab my notes.”
At that Peter brought his hands forward, shaking them slightly as if praising you. “Thank you, thank you so much.”
Peter wasn’t truly paying attention as you talked. He hummed along periodically and watched as your pen left permanent scrawl on his graft paper. He loved your handwriting. It was very you. Right now you were balancing the equation because after looking at the concoction in the beaker in front of you, you realized he must have done it wrong. You were glancing over periodically at your own notes and Peter did the same. As he peered over at your notes he saw your name at the top of the paper, (y/f/n) (y/l/n).
You were trying your best not to hyperventilate. Peter was very tall. When you got over to his desk he sat down while you stood so you could reach everything. You occasionally would write in his notebook to highlight important parts in every step. You were leaning in and across him. You could smell his deodorant (cologne maybe?) and you didn’t know how to describe it. It smelled like “boy” but with hints of citrus. You loved it. Peter was trying not to gaze directly at your chest every time you leaned across him to get the beaker or the stir stick or whatever it was you needed.
A few minutes left in class and you managed to wrap it up and Peter seemed to understand where he went wrong.
“Thank you (Y/n) I really appreciate your help. I don’t know how I missed the two.” You giggled along with him, wanting to hold onto this moment for as long as you could. This is what you had been wanting since the 7th grade, the ability to talk to Peter normally, and finally, it was happening.
“Yeah, of course, I’m happy to help.” More happy than he knew.
Peter really liked talking to you and would like to do so without having to pretend he’s stupid. “Do you have first lunch?”
The question caught you off guard. Oh my god, is it happening? Does he like you? No, of course not, he's just being friendly. Of course, that’s what it is.
”Yeah, I usually eat in the library.” Your palm met your forehead with such force and velocity Peter worried you may have just given yourself a concussion.
Meanwhile, you were scolding yourself like the mother of a two-year-old throwing a tantrum in a target. Why did you say that? Why would you volunteer information that makes you seem like a total loser? Jesus H. Christ when will you learn?
Peter chuckled softly at your antics. He dipped his head so that he could gaze up at you without your arm covering your face. “Do you like to read a lot?”
You slowly opened your eyes to see big brown ones staring up at you, the clunky goggles made them look even bigger. Two moons orbiting in your space, Deimos and Phobos, drawing you in with their crushing gravity. For a moment you thought you might have just drifted into the cosmos because you found there was a lack of oxygen in your environment. You came crashing back down to the planet when the bell rang. Peter had already packed up for class but your stuff was still out on your table.
Peter walked over with you while you gathered your things. He continued talking like what just happened…didn’t.
“Well if you want you can eat with me. I like to eat in the courtyard. It’s usually empty this time of year so I can skate all I want. It’s just as peaceful as the library but not nearly as warm.” You chuckled at that.
October in New York was indeed no joke but you quickly decided that it would be totally worth any cold or flu. You told him as much and he flashed that Peter Parker smile. The one that makes your heart clench and knees wobble. The one that ctrl, alt, deletes your brain.
“Bring your skateboard if you want. It’s fun and it keeps you warm, I promise.” And with that, he left you in the hallway.

You could tell by the way the grip tape destroyed the toe box and the soles.
Buying nice shoes was last on my list of priorities, and I didn't feel the need to change my footwear. We had this good friend who would hang out with us but never skate. He was a bit younger than us and was never particularly well dressed, but he always had cool-looking brown boots or a pair of nicely kept loafers. He would drive us around and videotape our stunts and shenanigans, and we noticed that there were always girls next to him while we were doing our thing. They would even start casual conversations with him.
This one time, we went out with our friend to a cool café downtown. All of us were wearing some variation of jeans and sweaters. But our friend looked visibly more put together and was the only one wearing a pair of brown brogue leather dress shoes. The service went straight to him and offered a great level of attention. They were not mean to us or anything, but you could feel they were delighted to serve our friend.
Due to a previous agreement, it was my turn to foot the bill. However, as I was taking my badly battered wallet, I noticed the waiter was already talking to our friend and asking him if he would like to leave a tip.
That's when it hit me. Shoes give out a signal that basically says: I´m in charge.
In fact, by wearing leather dress shoes men become instantly more attractive. It's science! According to a survey made in 2013, 64% of women judge our sense of fashion just by looking at our shoes, and more than half determine our personality based on our footwear.
Granted, a pair of men´s leather dress shoes does not guarantee that the person brings anything interesting to the table for ladies looking for something serious. However, they do increase your chances of a conversation. In other words, by wearing leather dress shoes men automatically get a foot in the door.
