something tells me that since bruce doesn't mind vance biting his arms, vance doesn't mind bruce drawing on his arms or hands in return. or mindlessly tracing shapes and patterns onto his skin. sometimes it's words that are 'blink and you'll it' words and vance always fails to notice them because he's too lost in the sensation of touch.

being [ruben dias]
you finally learn the truth behind that night.
warnings: none | wc: 5565 | 3/???
“Umm, what are you wearing?” Aki lowered the bottles in her hand.
You cluelessly peered down at the clothes she’d literally seen you wearing earlier in the office. It took a while for your mind to construct the meaning of her slight chastise. Slacks and a button down was certainly not the appropriate attire for the occasion.
“Right! Shit…” You sprang into action, letting her in.
She made herself comfortable in your loft, beelining to the kitchen while you got prepared to join her in the long overdue ritual.
Some time had passed since the launch party at Nike. You’d been so busy with chasing up the next project on the agenda that your tradition had sadly slipped through the cracks. Luckily, your best friend was there to always remind you of the important stuff.
After sprinting through a shower, you slipped into a silk romper and joined her out in the living room. Her ability to whip up a master charcuterie board was out of this world. When did you even buy honey and feta?
“Early 2000s or something new?” Aki pondered as she scrolled through streaming options.
“I’m feeling modern tonight.” You replied around a cheese topped cracker.
She agreed, filtering for options within the last year. While the opening credits ran, you emptied the first bottle of wine she brought between your two glasses. That earned you a look of surprise to which you responded with a cheeky one of your own.
While you were on the more conservative side of alcohol consumption these days, you liked to let loose every now and then. What was the use of working so hard if you didn't blow off steam by getting a bit tipsy with your favorite girl?
Halfway through your glass, you started to wonder whether or not you’d made a mistake. Not on the wine, that was top tier, but the era of movie you chose. Film companies just didn’t put their soul into producing quality rom-coms like they used to.
You chugged the remainder of your Bordeaux and went in for seconds. Maybe fast tracking the intoxication would make this dry ass movie more palatable. Aki followed suit, hissing dramatically at the burn of her massive mouthful going down.
About five, or fifteen minutes passed - you honestly didn’t know now given your warped senses - before you turned to her with a grimace. She was already looking at you with an expression that made you burst into laughter.
“This movie fuckin’ sucks.” You gasped.
“I know!” Aki struggled to breathe. “I’m so sorry for picking it!”
Instead of torturing yourselves with the remainder of it, you decided to place a bet on what the ending would be. It was obvious that they’d end up together given the tone of the movie so far, but how they would get there was up for debate.
Ultimately, one Wikipedia page scan later, her guess was closer to being correct than yours.
“Okay…how about we do a drunk capsule now?” Aki dared you with her eyes.
It was an offer you couldn’t refuse, especially due to your current state. In these traditional events, nothing was off limits and everything was confined to the safety of the moment. To put it plainly, whatever either of you said couldn’t be held against you once you’d sobered up.
“Go on, I know you’ve been waiting for this forever.” You rolled your eyes playfully.
She clapped giddily, shuffling until her knees touched yours.
“Starting off a bit strong, but,” Her bottom lip reduced between her teeth. “Why haven’t you dated anyone since. You know.”
You blew a raspberry. “I-I have been on dates.”
“How many in the last year? Or two?” Aki hiccuped. “Come on, you’re still young and sexy! You should be getting pounded religiously!"
“Ew!” You slapped her leg. “Things have been really hectic with the company, you know that. I’ve barely had time to have a proper chat with my mom much less date a guy.”
That was the God’s honest truth. It was arguably a bigger task than you realistically could’ve handled, deciding to open a new branch of Bana.
The risk had to be taken, though. If you sat there trying to rationalize it through figures and statistics, you never would’ve committed to this next step that already was paying its weight in gold.
You also really needed to carve out time to call back home for more than just a quick hello.
Aki was the only other person who knew just how time consuming all of this was, so she accepted your response - albeit with an emphasized pout.
“We spoke,” She ran a finger along the rim of her wineglass. “Ruben and I.”
Your head reared back as you screwed your eyes shut. That information wasn’t too surprising considering that when you left, they both remained at the party. Still, it hit you with rather powerful force.
Trying to picture that conversation pulled your mind in several directions. Aki was a different person than you in many ways, her methods of communicating being one of them. She was far more straightforward than you were and was never the type to do a long song or dance before getting to the point.
The situation she had with him was rather complicated, though. She was collateral damage in his severance from you. His parting message to her was just as curt and painful as the one he’d sent you - with an added layer of which you now realized was the audacity he always had. 
We can’t be friends anymore. Take care of her.
Going through something like that could create deviations in anyone’s behavior. You wouldn’t hold it against her if she found herself too flustered to articulate herself properly. Especially if he’d displayed the same attitude to her that was directed towards you.
“How are you holding up?” It was embarrassing to admit that this was the first time you’d really checked in with her regarding the entire situation.
She sighed deeply and then nodded. “I’m okay, said what I needed to.”
o passado
aki
Her eyes had been on you since that giant blond man had made his way over.
Not exactly the type she’d seen you fawn over, but there was a first time for everything, right? Besides, it didn’t hurt that he was clearly acquainted with Ruben - whose gaze was glued to you and the guy like his life depended on it. Maybe it would hit him where it hurts.
She prayed it did.
“And that was basically how I figured out I was a genius!” The long winded man she was conversing with finally wrapped up his story - full cackle to boot.
“That’s amazing!” Aki matched his energy, going as far as to throw her head back for good measure.
“Was that your CEO you were sitting with - the one in the white?” His tone immediately had her eyes narrowing.
Your dress was cream, but he was a man so she’d let it slide.
While his appearance was more towards your usual taste, there was no way she’d let him near you. Not with his clearly inflated sense of importance and clear habit of never letting anyone else speak for more than ten seconds without interruption.
“Yep, that’s her.” Aki nodded proudly. It was always nice to tell people that her best friend ran a company.
“Is she single? I’m sorry that might be a bit forward, but I’m sure you’ve noticed how stunning she is.” He chuckled awkwardly.
“She…is.” The smart retort part of her brain clicked off when her gaze drifted to find you talking to Ruben.
Whatever thirsty homeboy was droning on about fell yet again on deaf ears as she watched your interaction with shallow breaths. It was the first time she’d seen him in years, stirring up strange emotions to say the least.
When he’d messaged her that night, her heart broke and sank all the way to her toes. Only a fraction of a moment passed as she tried to rationalize why she’d so suddenly lost the person who was like the brother she always wanted. Her mind almost immediately went to you.
Take care of her.
Fuck, those words still filled her with rage to this day. He knew just how deeply you were in love with him and he didn’t even have the decency to say that shit to your face, or give you a reason. He knew how badly it would break you. Yet, he did it anyway.
Aki would never forget the way every bone in your body shook as she held you. She’d never get over how the heartache ate you from the inside out, watching you turn into a hollow shell of the vibrant girl you used to be.
But more importantly, she wouldn’t ever forget watching you pick yourself back up. Piece by piece, you took shape. Watching you find and love yourself after what he put you through was the proudest she felt in your friendship.
And here he was again.
She thought she’d seen a ghost when you showed up soaking wet and in tears on her doorstep a few weeks ago. It wasn’t a question in her mind as to why you were that torn up suddenly because there was only ever one person that could do that to you.
What did Ruben want? So much time had passed, did he think that was an excuse of some sort to suddenly start popping up like a whack-a-mole? She would’t stand by idly and let him create chaos the way he once did.
Aki watched him as he watched you making your way to the exit, his expression forlorn. It twisted her insides like they were filed with bile instead of bubbly. She excused herself from Mr. Know It All and shot straight to her target.
“Ruben.”
He spun around, eyes widening. “Aki…”
“Look, I’m not interested in the past and I’m definitely not here for any kind of apology.” She breathed. “I just wanna know what you’re doing, Ruben?”
His brows pushed together, “I was just having a conversation, Akenna.”
“Don’t do that.” Her jaw ticked.
He didn’t have the right to say her full name like he used to in jest anymore. They weren’t good friends, they weren’t anything to one another as things stood - all by his doing.
“And don’t play dumb.” Aki scoffed, anger rising by the second. “You weren’t there to see the fall out. No, you were living it up as the nation’s new hot shot and embracing all that came with it. You fucking,” She pressed her nails into her palm to steady herself. “You devastated her.”
Ruben flinched. Her words and the severity of it all finally seeming to click into place. She could see the thoughts swimming around his mind, imagining probably the worse case scenario that she bet wouldn’t even scratch the surface of reality. The air around the two hung heavy, as still as a day with no wind to sway the trees.
“I’m not trying to hurt Y/N, or you, again.” He eventually whispered.
That was rich, was she just supposed to take his word for it? Aki sized him up with scrutiny, wondering what position he thought he would get into with you both to repeat such a thing. Yet despite all her glaring, she still couldn't grasp his intentions.
Maybe deep down, she didn't want to.
In any case, by the looks of him, life had appeared to go unjustly in his favor despite his misdeeds. While that was an annoying observation, she chose to cling to the other side of it. She decided to celebrate that you were infinite miles away from the version of yourself he’d last seen.
A new form of yourself that she'd silently vowed to protect at all costs.
“Then whatever you trying to do, stop.” Aki warned. “She’s in a good place now, don’t ruin that.”
o presente
you
Whatever she was able to get off her chest seemed to provide her with relief.
That left you grinning. Heartbroken or not, Aki stuck to her guns. It made you promise silently to yourself that you’d adopt her stance. If you ever crossed paths with him again, though you should say when since it seemed all but inevitable in this city, you’d lay it all out on the table.
“So…have you tried Hinge?” Aki smiled sheepishly.
You exclaimed and pounced on her, smacking her with a sofa cushion as the light-hearted mood returned. She was surprisingly agile for someone so tipsy, narrowly dodging most of your blows with full bellied laughs.
I’m just doing your mom’s bidding - ah, watch the face!
The small brawl ended just as quickly as it started. Your tolerance was far below what it used to be, lethargy taking over your limbs. With a huff, you flopped onto the carpet. Aki raised your head to tuck a pillow beneath it before assuming a cozy position of her own.
“We’re gonna regret drinking this much tomorrow aren’t we?” You groaned, a hand running over your tummy.
“Nothing a good, hot cup of coffee can’t fix.” She yawned.
Well, that wasn’t entirely true.
Even after shaking the last of a double shot into your mouth, you were laced with regret. As much as you adored celebrating last night, you currently wished you could’ve slept it off a bit longer.
However, duty called. You had two meetings to knock out and needed to get through a morning brief about both of them.
“Wow, you guys look…” Cindy tried and failed to hide her shock.
“Don’t worry,” Aki pushed her sunglasses up to her hair. “I brought the emergency makeup kit.”
“Let’s just get through this quickly.” You grimaced, clutching at your blouse.
As Cindy walked you guys through all the research she compiled, you chugged down a liter of water to bring your insides back to life. On top of regretting taking wine to the head, you felt guilty about letting a bit loose while she was probably busy working.
Another mental note: give her additional vacation days.
Erling’s online presence was pretty standard for a public figure and athlete. His social media was tightly managed as well. That was obviously smart on his part, enough people in similar standing had sometimes irredeemable flubs by not thinking before posting.
The water was kicking in, leaving your mind devising the skeleton of a pitch. It might’ve been jumping the gun a bit since you still didn’t know their hopes for partnering with Bana.
You always liked to be prepared for anything though, especially when it came to working with busy clients like him. Quick thinking could easily be the difference between success and failure.
“Uh, guys.” Cindy tapped her phone. “You’re gonna need to get started on using that kit - Erling’s assistant just asked if you could meet him for lunch instead.”
Aki yelped, immediately rifling through her bag. You high sprinted to the bathroom to empty your bladder before rejoining the room. After a quick touch up to make you resemble the human species again, you gathered everything you needed.
Since the meeting had been moved up, it would clash with a virtual call you had with another potential client. Cindy volunteered to stay behind to cover given that she was the only one other than yourself with extensive marketing knowledge.
“Where are we headed for this lunch?” You slung your tote over your shoulder.
“City training grounds.” Cindy pulled a face. “Not the most glamorous, but I guess he’s staying on brand?”
Your mind immediately went there. Of course it did, it wouldn’t be normal if he didn’t make an appearance in your thoughts when hearing the location. What you were grateful for, though, was that there was no sinking feeling. No ache in your chest or pit in your stomach, just neutrality.
Aki looped her arm around your free one and tapped your bicep. “Let’s catch this fish.”
“Good luck!” Cindy waved as you exited.
Uncharacteristically, you were the one that had to be forcefully awoken and shoved into the shower this morning. That meant Aki drove you both to work, so you hopped into her passenger seat once more as she fired up the engine.
“What do they even eat there?” She pulled up the address on maps. “Baked chicken and sweet potatoes?”
You snorted loudly. “I don’t think they have a whole team of chefs just to make Instagram fitness bro meal preps.”
Aki made a noise of agreement and then got to daydreaming aloud about their potential offerings. Her imagination had your stomach growling. You hadn’t been able to even sniff the muffins in the cafe earlier without turning green in the face, but you were finally entering the phase of your belly signaling for sustenance.
Her phone rang with an unsaved number on her dashboard. You pulled a face at her suggesting that it could be one of the suitors she’d been seeing under the guise of getting to know the new city. She bit at you like a puppy before answering.
“Hi Akenna, this is Meredith from Dr. Johnson’s office. We’re just confirming your visit today at twelve thirty.” The voice sounded out.
Aki’s mouth dropped open as she looked over to you. “H-hi Meredith! I…”
You didn’t know she had a doctor’s visit scheduled and by the looks of it, she didn’t recall either. That was one hundred percent okay with you. Obviously, her health came before anything else. Your head nodded incessantly, urging her to confirm.
“I will be there.” The words sounded as if she’d dragged them from the bottom of a deep well.
“Cheers! We’ll see you soon.” Meredith disconnected the call.
“Is everything okay?” That was your main concern at the moment.
She groaned. “Yeah, it’s just time for a routine check up with the pussypractor.”
You let out a laugh. Being happy at her using that word to describe her gynecologist was far from your normal reaction, but you welcomed it in place of the fear you’d felt for a minute.
“I’m glad you’re taking care of your magic conch.” You relaxed back into your seat.
“Are you gonna be okay? I feel bad leaving you there all alone.” Aki pouted.
“I’ll be fine.” You shot her a grin. “I’m just going to complete the mission and get back ASAP.”
Whether or not she was convinced remained a mystery. That question was a double edged sword, but so was your answer. You weren’t going there with any intention beside getting your job done.
And feeding the beast in your belly.
Thankfully, the grounds weren’t too far away and traffic wasn’t as horrendous as usual. She turned her car into the security checkpoint that went by without a hitch since they’d been notified of your arrival beforehand.
“This is…weird.” Aki peered around after parking out front.
It was like deja vu. Seeing the turf, hearing the sprinklers in the distance - your senses were all lit up and connecting the dots to your past experiences in a similar environment.
“Yeah.” You refocused on the task at hand, opening the car door. “I’ll see you at home. Want me to bring over an ice pack?”
“I’ll probably already have beat you to it, smart ass.” Aki shook her head. “Text me when you’re back.”
The lady at the front greeted you brightly and let you know that Erling’s assistant would be out shortly. In the meantime, you busied yourselves with taking a look at the large pictures lining the walls. Where City clearly had the money, they also had the success. Image after image were filled with bright smiles, medals and trophies.
“Y/N, it’s so nice to finally meet you.” A young brunette woman appeared into your impromptu gallery viewing.
“Likewise.” You shook hands, extending a smile.
“Please, this way.” She directed you to follow her down a hallway.
Animated voices became louder the further you walked and the smell of rich flavors filled your nose. Whatever was being cooked was so far from barely seasoned cutlets and bland potatoes. Your stride hitched at the sound of one particularly loud laugh.
Right. It must be lunch break for the entire squad.
Just as your ears started to ring, unwanted sensations deciding to make their return, she pivoted off to the left to deviate your path from the cafeteria. You let out a breath you didn’t know you were holding just as your eyes looked back to catch Ruben’s - wide and confused, watching you disappear around the bend.
Tumblr media
Coming somewhat prepared worked well in your favor.
Erling had a rough idea of what he wanted to do, but first asked your opinion about the direction you would suggest. Given the current era socially and culturally, coupled with the timeline of his playing career being almost predefined, you focused on building a diverse brand that spoke to longevity.
Football itself was such a vast world with many paths. You constructed a plan in front of him that held his passion at the center surrounded by interest that could tie back into it. If he wanted to expand his humanitarian efforts, a foundation was always the best bet - donating to boys and girls sporting programs, hosting summer camps, auctioning iconic jerseys for a cause.
Partnerships were the biggest way to expand image wise. Of course, there were the well known luxury brands that would die to have him as their ambassadors. If he wanted to hone in on a relatable image, he could partner with more affordable brands for an athletic line.
You wanted to show him that there was a world of possibility that was easily within his reach. All he had to do essentially was point the team at Bana in the direction he wanted to do and you would get it done.
Erling was extremely pleased with what you pitched to him. His assistant took notes for him to go over later in order to single out where he wanted to start, and get back to you guys with contract details. You were left buzzing with pride and very full with the most delicious chicken salad you ever had.
“I’m excited to see where this partnership takes us.” He beamed as he walked you back to the entrance.
“We intend to take you as far as you want to go.” You promised.
Him and his assistant headed out to his next appointment after you said your goodbyes. There wasn’t anything else on the agenda for the day now with both that meeting and the virtual one at the office being done.
You figured you might as well head home to check on Aki. Also, turning in early for a good night’s rest would be the best thing you could do for your body.
You requested a ride back to your place and hoped the wait would be less than 10 minutes. The confirmation came back to show that the driver was just under that, which nearly made you roll your eyes. Instead, you decided to be grateful and message Cindy to see how her call went.
“Are you going to wait eight minutes for Jeremy to pick you up?”
Your head craned to spot Ruben peering at your phone over your shoulder. Though there was nothing to hide, as well as him already seeing what was on your screen, you tucked the device into your chest and spun around.
“Obviously.” You cleared your throat.
“Why would you do that?” His gaze was scrutinizing.
“It’s what one does when they left their car at home and require a lift.” The hand holding your phone tilted it back slightly - six minutes.
“Come with me.” Ruben boldly suggested.
The laugh that left you was incredulous, there was that fucking audacity again. Under what circumstance would you get into his car with him?
You were actually starting to wonder, seriously, without any offense, whether or not he was entirely there mentally. It was like he had no recollection of what he’d done to you.
Or worse, that he didn’t care.
“No.” Your eyes turned downwards again - four minutes.
“Let me take you home.” He reached out to take hold of your wrist.
There was a slight tremble to your mouth that you were quick to shut down by pinning your lips together. Those words shoved your mind through a wormhole back to all those warm nights in Amadora. Your backpack slung over his shoulder, his fingers laced through yours. Both of your laughs bouncing off concrete structure lined streets.
“Absolutely not.” You spoke weakly.
A step too late, you registered his movement. Your small lunge was futile against his giant step back after he’d snatched the phone away from your unsuspecting grip. Getting onto your tippy toes was even more useless against his extended arm as he canceled your ride.
“Please, I owe you that.” Ruben handed it back to you. “And everything else you need to hear from me.”
Freedom of choice in this situation was an illusion. The opportunity to gain all the clarity you sought, all the answers to the questions that haunted you for years, landed in your lap without any effort on your end. Did the option of rebooking a ride share move the needle away from you wanting to know everything?
Not even an inch.
“Okay.” You conceded, motioning for him to lead the way.
Ruben walked you over to his jeep and opened the passenger door for you before you could even try. The gesture that once made you feel giddy did little to stir anything in you today. You fastened your seatbelt and placed your tote on your lap as he got in.
“Now would be a good time to,” He pointed at his console.
“Right…” You pulled up his gps to enter your address.
“Before you think something weird, just a warning that I’m leaving from the service exit.” His car spun in the opposite direction that you entered in. “Things get a bit crazy in the front with the fans and all.”
Wow, what a hero. You didn’t know whether or not to thank him for at least respecting your right to privacy, so you stayed silent and offered a nod.
The first few minutes of the ride stayed much like that - quiet. You wished he hadn’t turned off the music immediately as the car started. Whatever he listened to these days would’ve been miles better than the sound of his smooth engine running and the hissing of his tires on the lightly misted road.
“I’m sorry about the other night.” Ruben spoke alas. “It wasn’t my place to step in with a stupid suggestion like that.”
“No, it wasn’t.” At least you both agreed on that much.
He chuckled at your swift concur. “Everything went well with Erling then, I suppose.”
“You’re on a roll, Dias.” You said drily. “Two for two.”
His Adam’s apple bobbed, catching your attention from the corner of your eye. It was becoming apparent to him that this interaction wasn’t going to happen the way he imagined - whatever that may have been.
Did he expect you to be the same doe eyed girl you were seven years ago? Even without your shared history, that would’ve been an extremely naive ideal.
“Y/N…” Ruben tapped his steering wheel. “About that night…”
You dared to look at him for the first time during the ride. All over his face was the war he was fighting in his mind. As stupid and misplaced as it was, you actually felt a bit sorry for him. He had been a source of pain for you for so long, yet you still couldn’t stand to see him experiencing discomfort.
“Was it something I did, something I said?” Your biggest insecurity fell out uncontrollably. “Was it me?”
“No.” He interjected swiftly, almost angrily.
“What made you do it?” The question being posed directly to him after all this time didn’t offer you what you’d hoped.
You thought that if you had ever came to this moment, you would be on some sort of emotional pedestal. So far out of reach and so beyond what had transpired that no response he gave would have a great impact.
In actuality, it was completely the opposite. You didn’t feel elevated or safe out of reach from any negative outcome. Sitting beside him, getting swallowed up by his big leather seats, you felt small and vulnerable.
You were afraid.
“When I sent that message - those messages - it didn’t even feel like it was me.” Ruben appeared to be focused on the road ahead, but his eyes were distant. “I never felt like I truly deserved you. Sometimes when I looked at you, that feeling was overwhelming. I saw how much I meant to you, knew you’d do anything for me, maybe even give up everything for me…and I can admit it now that in those moments I was right about myself.”
He was really on a hot streak here. Three for three because you also felt like it wasn’t him speaking to you that night, or shutting off the lights on you. Four for four, actually. You would’ve done anything for him and yes, even given up everything if it meant you got to be with him.
The last part confused you though.
“Right about what?” You sought out comprehension.
“I didn’t deserve you.” Ruben provided it. “Because anyone who did wouldn’t have felt pressured by that. They would’ve stepped up even more and lived up to be the kind of person who was worthy of that kind of love. Instead, I was the type who was convinced that it was too much and ran away from it. I selfishly cut my emotions off and did what I did, not even considering the outcome.”
The fear you had was replaced with disappointment. You truthfully didn’t know what you expected his explanation to be. Maybe it wouldn’t have felt like this if he had said he started having feelings for someone else, or any other partially plausible explanation.
You guessed this was just as rational as all others in his mind, but you just couldn’t wrap your head around it. The guy you knew never showed any signs of wavering in confidence or expressed the slightest doubt that he was deserving to be deeply loved.
A part of you understood that everyone all wore masks, especially around the people they wanted to appear to be strong for. But he never had to do that with you. At least, you thought he knew that he didn’t have to pretend to be anything when he was with you.
“Ruben…” Your gripped tightened around your tote straps.
What could you even say at this point? The one expectation you did have that was met when you got into this car was that you’d received an explanation. It was just difficult to come to terms with the fact that all of your whys boiled down to something so simple yet complex.
Insecurity was an easy emotion to name, but far from that to dissect. And it certainly made people do often very shameful and hurtful things. Still, knowing all of that did nothing to ease the ache you felt watching him bite the inside of his cheek.
The drive suddenly didn’t feel so long as you realized he was pulling up to your building’s entrance. He put the car in park and reached to leave to get your door, but your hand quickly shot out to touch his arm.
“I’ve got it.” You slowly let it fall to unbuckle your seatbelt. “Thanks for the ride.”
Ruben left it until the very last second, calling your name as you were about to shut the door.
“I’m sorry for everything I put you through.” His shiny brown eyes held yours for as long as you could take before you finally sealed it shut.
You rushed inside, not daring to look back so that your tears could fall unnoticed. With rasps of breaths falling from your lips as you pressed your head against the back of the elevator, massaging the space over your heart, you found yourself asking a new question.
What would you do now, knowing that which you’ve longed to?

It made me feel so much better and less alone to know that you also felt those same nerves and anxiety when moving to NYC. Can you give any more tips on living here?? What makes your time here worth it?
i think ima tag this bc i get asked this a lot (no shade lol just so ppl have like a list of things to reference)
Tbh NYC is really expensive but on the other hand A LOT of fun things are super cheap/free. 
FIrst off apps to have!!!!:
Citymapper; very reliable and up to date transit map like I love it so much
Groupon: cheap fun tbh
Tips
Honestly, don’t be afraid to talk to ppl! Sometimes I forget I live here and sometimes forget like there are so many opportunities right in front of me. Literally, esp if you wanna work in media or fashion, if you are social and talk to anyone that someone is someone or knows someone so always be social and make connects. Actually, make friends frist then connects like don’t come up to people and like ride them and make it obvious you have an agenda bc it just turns ppl off. 
When planning to travel to a place by train….check the schedules the morning of bc things change like fast lol 
When thrift shopping–dont go to buffalo exchange or any thrift shop in Williamsburg–they all overpriced and very wh*te
Grocery shop in Chinatown–especially for your seafood!!!!
If you’re moving into an apartment you can literally drive around the city and pick up perfectly fine furniture ppl are throwing out or leave in boxes for free. My best friend is a dog walker and comes home with beautiful knick knacks all the time like one time she found a purple amethyst crystal candle holder that probably woulda retailed for $50+ 
Dont shop in times square...its just the most annoying place ever. You can probably find better places close to you anyway
Some fun stuff to do if you’re into art/museums/and stuff of that nature:
 the Chelsea Galleries are free and you can pretty much walk around Chelsea and walk into any gallery no problem and just look at art, photography, film, video installations etc.
The Museum of Natural History and the Metropolitan Museum (and all its brances–Met Breur, Met Cloisters, etc.) are pay as you wish–meaning you can literally pay 25 cents and enjoy all the art! The prices they show on the board are literally just amounts they advise you give, but you are not obligated to! It’s honestly a tourist scam fuck my broke ass look like paying $12 to look at shit they stole from my ancestors but anyway lol. Also, the Museum of Natural History has a planetarium that I believe is $16 extra to get in but im not sure
The New Museum, The Whitney, Museum of Modern Art, Guggenheim, Brooklyn Museum and Cooper Hewitt I believe are free for college students. If you’re not a college student I believe it is the MoMA that does free Fridays–they house Van Gogh’s Starry Night here! And I’m not sure about the rates of the Brooklyn Museum , The New Museum and Whitney but you can google them! Also, if you’re a student I believe you get a +1 for the Whitney and Cooper Hewitt (I think….)
I’ve never been but my friends have but the, Bowery Poetry club always has events like around $10 for tickets and some open mic nights!
Brooklyn Botanical Gardens are free Tuesdays!
Central Park is fun to walk on a nice day
The Bushwick Collective is basically a collection of streetart around Bushwick Brooklyn thats really dope!!
Also a lot of flagship shops are here
NYX, Elf, and a whole bunch of other stuff!
Also, idk like I just feel like this city is very me. I have grown a lot here and came out of my shell a lot and met a lot of great people and had a lot of memorable experiences. That sounds corny but its #facts.

Bruce was about to lose it…and he did
This fic is long as shit btw🤭
Tumblr media Tumblr media
TW: F SLUR AND HOMOPHOBIA
(I am part of the LGBTQ+ and at the time, it was common. Still doesn’t make it right at ALL)
+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+
Bruce was never a fighter. Even if he got pissed off, he never threw a punch. It was never in his nature to fight unless absolutely needed.
And what made it even more ironic is that he is dating Vance hopper…
“Vance (I will beat the fuck outta you for messing up my game) hopper”
No one knew that they were dating except their parents but Bruce decided to be publicly out as Bi. His parents took a little time but they were supportive of him. But they were a little worried because it was Vance he was dating but they still loved him.
His little sister and Vance actually got along well so she thinks he’s a great guy.
But the town definitely didn’t like it when they found out about Bruce…
True he lost a bit of respect from some of the boys on his team and girls tried to say that they could change him and shit but that didn’t stop him from being himself.
Vance was always teasing him for being too soft on people and how he is a golden boy all the time.
(And that’s why he loves him)
But today wasn’t Bruce’s day.
He woke up 35 minutes late,
he spilt milk on his outfit trying to make cereal so he had to go change into something else,
he had to bike to his school so he was smelling like sweat, and worse of all…during the whole school time, He didn’t get to see Vance at all.
Bruce was about to lose it with each passing second of the day. Once school was over, he decided to ride his bike to Grab’n’go for some snacks and a drink.
Something to be happy about during this shitty day.
Bruce got himself some Skittles and a orange Fanta. As Bruce started to walk out the shop , he was already starting to feel a bit better about it.
But of course, life isn’t that easy is it?
Guy 1: “Hey guys look, it’s that fairy.”
Bruce: (Shit…Not them. ANYONE but them.)
Guy 2: *laughs like the idiot he is* “yeah you’re right”
Guy 1: “Hey Bruceyyy”
Bruce: “Please don’t start this…I’m NOT in the mood for your games.”
Bruce tries to walk to get his bike but they kept following him. He was starting to lose it.
Guy 1: Awww why?? You’re going to see your fairy boyfriend??
Bruce: (I have to stay calm…)
Bruce tries to get to his bike faster but they were right behind him.
Guy 2: “Or maybe he’s going to go see his little fairy friends”
Bruce: (I HAVE TO STAY CALM)
Bruce felt a hand grab his shoulder and pushed him forward.
Guy 1: “Or maybe he has no one because he’s just a…little…Faggot.”
Something snapped in Bruce and before he even registered what he was doing, he turned around and flew his fist into guy 1’s nose.
*CRACK*
The guy fell backwards at the punch and guy 2 caught him. The guy’s nose started to bleed and it was bleeding a lot. He looked at Bruce with angry eyes and gritted teeth.
Guy 1: “YOU’LL PAY FOR THAT YOU FUCKING QUEER”
The two guys got up and started to sprint towards Bruce.
Before Bruce even processed what was going on at the moment, he started to swing at whoever was near him.
He managed to punch the other one in the face until guy 1 kicked Bruce in the stomach. Bruce bent forward and the two guys started to kick and punch him on his body.
They were kicking him mostly on the ribs.
One of them punched his nose and Bruce felt the bone crack.
It hurts. It hurts him so much, but he sees a opening to grab his arm.
So Bruce takes it. He grabbed guy 1’s arm and punched his elbow up.
*SNAP*
He heard the snap of the arm and the scream of pain that the guy let out as he fell to the ground.
That made the other guy stop in his tracks, looking at the guy’s arm in shock.
But Bruce didn’t stop.
Bruce grabbed guy 2’s head and gave a hard punch to his face. The guy stumbles back and starts to run away. A crowd was forming around them but all Bruce could think about was how angry he was at that moment.
Bruce got on top of the guy who was still sitting there in pain and just started to punch the shit out of his face while the guy was crying more and started to plead for him to stop. Each punch was like a weight lifted off of him.
Bruce would usually feel bad for this, but he didn’t. He felt better than before and that was a good feeling for him.
But that feeling didn’t last because the pain started to kick in and it kicked in HARD.
As Bruce started to sprint away from the store, the pain he felt was getting worse and worse by the second.
He’ll get his bike later.
Once Bruce arrived at his house, he checked the garage to see if his family was there. Thankfully they weren’t there.
As Bruce stumbles to his bathroom, he just slid down the wall and just cried. He was in too much pain to clean himself up.
He hated it. He hated how he wasn’t normal. He hated how he lost some of his friends. He hates how he was a push-over. He hated how he lost respect. He hated how much pain he was in. He hated it.
As Bruce just cries his pain away, he heard a bang on his door.
*BANG, BANG, BANG*
What if it was the police? What if it was the guys and their parents waiting outside?
Whatever it was, Bruce was scared. He slowly got up and started to walk towards the front door of his house.
*BANG,BANG,BANG,BANG,BANG*
The banging started again but louder.
Bruce: “ALRIGHT, I GET IT-”
When Bruce opened the door, he saw Vance standing there. Vance’s face turned from annoyance to shock and worry.
Vance: “What the hell?…”
Vance cupped Bruce’s face softly while he walked inside and shut the door with his foot.
As Vance held Bruce’s face with shaky hands , Bruce started to feel his eyes start to water again.
He felt heartbroken that his boyfriend had to see him like this.
Vance: “Holy fuck, Bruce! I heard the rumors but I didn’t believe them! Babe, what happened?!”
Bruce couldn’t hold it in.
He couldn’t stop himself from crying and stuttering as he tried to say what happened.
Bruce: “I-I couldn’t…I t-tried to walk away…”
Bruce couldn’t say anything from his sobs. His lungs burning from the crying before.
Vance: “Shhh…It’s ok..it’s ok..”
Vance wasn’t much of a hugger but he knew Bruce needed one.
Vance gave Bruce a big bear hug and slowly rubbed his back as he heard his sobs starting to go away and his breathing slowly go to normal.
Vance: “Let’s go clean you up…you look like shit”
Vance took Bruce’s bloody hands and walked him upstairs to his bedroom.
Bruce: “Vance, you don’t have t-”
Vance: “Shut up and sit down.”
Vance made his sit on the bed just like how Bruce does to him. Vance already knew where the supplies were since Bruce takes care of him a lot.
Vance: “You might feel a little sting.”
Bruce: “I play baseball, I’m pretty sure I know how it works”
Bruce let out a hiss of pain as Vance brought a disinfectant wipe to his knuckles. He definitely felt worse at his ribs but it still stung.
Vance started to bandage his knuckles and the uncomfortable silence was loud. Bruce knew he had to say something.
Bruce: “…Some guys were calling me some shit.”
Vance: “What did they say?”
Bruce: “…They were calling me fag and shit like that. Saying that I had no one and shit.”
As those words left his mouth, he felt the aura shift as Vance gave a angered look at Bruce.
He knew the anger wasn’t towards him but it was still scary as shit-
Vance: “Those fuckers don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. They are just a bunch of bastards that think it’s cool to bully you all because you’re Bi.”
Bruce let out a little chuckle as Vance started to wipe his face.
Vance knew that Bruce’s nose was probably broken but all he could do was clean and bandage.
After Vance was done wiping Bruce’s face, he motioned for him to lift his shirt to clean the scar that was showing a bit over the neck drop.
As Bruce lifted his shirt, he saw a shocked face from Vance and that encouraged him to look down himself to see if it got worse.
It in fact, did get worse.
The bruises were more visible as they started to darken on his skin. The scar was there but the bruises were worse.
Bruce stared at Vance and saw anger and sadness in his face. He tried to put on a poker face but it didn’t work.
Vance whispered to himself.
Vance: “Those sons of bitches are fucking dead…”
Bruce knew that they were in deep shit but he didn’t care at the moment. All he cares about is Vance. He felt Vance wipe the scar on his chest and it didn’t hurt as much as the first wipe.
Once Vance was done patching Bruce up, he lays down and gestured for Bruce to lay down with him. As Bruce was resting on top of him, Vance was rubbing his back and put little kisses on his forehead. And for the first time that day, Bruce felt happy.
He loved how Vance would give him forehead kisses to make him feel better.
Even if Bruce was a bit taller than him, It was like little fireworks each time his lips made contact with his skin. He felt safe in Vance’s arms and felt like all of his problems were floating away with each peck.
Vance: “You don’t let what those shitheads said get to you. You are nothing like what they said you are. You are smart, talented,hot, and you are a good guy. And if they can’t see it. It’s their loss.”
Bruce felt calm as sleepiness washed over him. As Bruce starts to go to sleep, the last thing he heard was a muffled sentence.
Vance: “I love you…”
Bruce smiles as he falls asleep.
( I love you too…💚)
*A week later*
Vance and Bruce were walking together and just talking about their science project they have to do together.
Vance: “I didn’t understand jack-shit Mrs.Rockwell said about the assignment.”
Bruce: “That’s why I’m here to help you :)”
Bruce’s scars were healing nicely and the bruises already started to fade a bit. His nose was a bit broken but he was fine.
As they were walking, Bruce saw the two guys on the other side of the street. They both looked like shit. The guy’s arm was in a cast and his face was better but there were a few bruises here and there.
I guess Bruce was staring for too long because Vance looked up and saw them too. As Vance stared at the boys, his face of confusion slowly turned into realization at the situation.
Vance: “…Are they the fuckers who hurt you?”
Bruce: “Vance, let’s just go-”
Vance: “Bruce…Are those the fuckers who did it?”
Bruce: “…………….maybe?…Wait, hold up- VANCE!-”
But it was too late. Vance was already storming towards them. Fists balled up tightly as his face turned into pure rage.
Well this will go great, won’t it-
Vance: “HEY SHITHEADS!!”
Guy 1: “What now-”
Vance didn’t give him time to ready himself before he punched one of them in the face.
As Vance was beating them up, Bruce was just watching it all unfold. He would usually try to pry Vance off but he didn’t want to.
Vance: “AND IF YOU EVER TOUCH BRUCE AGAIN, I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!”
After Vance was done BRUTALLY beating the shit out of them, someone threatened to call the cops and Bruce didn’t want to get in trouble again so with out thinking, he grabbed Vance’s hand and sprinted away.
They went into a nearby alley way and hid there while both of the boys were gasping for air.
Bruce turned to look at Vance with the most upset face he tried to make as he was catching his breath.
Bruce: “WE COULD GET ARRESTED NOW VANCE!- AND I AM NOT GONNA GET IN TROUBLE WITH MY MOM AGAIN…”
Vance: “Yeah but they deserved it so I see it as a positive.”
As Bruce and Vance were catching their breath in the alley way, without thinking Bruce held Vance’s waist and pulled him into a gentle kiss. It was a soft gesture that was also passionate in a loving way.
After they parted, Vance started to kiss his face and give little pecks on his neck with a small smile that Bruce could feel with each small kiss.
There was only one thing going through Bruce’s mind as he was holding Vance in his arms.
(How could I ever deserve you?💚)
THIS TOOK ME TOO LONG BUT GOD DAMNIT I DID IT.🫶🏾🧍🏾🥺🤭😭✨ PLS ENJOY IT!!!

so we all know vance gets the whole cute aggression thing so i feel like sometimes he just bites bruce…at any given moment no matter the time or place he just *chomps* him and bruce just lets it happen. like bruce could be in the most detailed discussion about baseball with finney and here comes vance being the angry little muffin he is and just bites down on bruce’s arm. bruce is completely unfazed while finney and robin(whose there for funsies aka he’s in love finn) stare in confusion and slight horror bc they’ve seen vance’s teeth and they’re Sharp and omg doesn’t that hurt? but bruce waves away their concern and let’s vance go to town on his arm…
AJAJSJAAJJA. YEAH. YEAHHHH. hi anon i love this. whoever started the vance gets cuteness aggression thing, i will send them a gift basket. i feel like bruce has a high pain tolerance so even if it did hurt, bro is totally unaffected. just another normal day in bruce's life, getting mauled by his bf 🤷🏿‍♀️ unrelated-related but i also feel like vance messes/plays with bruce's hair as another form of cuteness aggression. just randomly tussles the FUCK out of it and bruce just laughs and fixes it— barely. imagine the most violent nuggie but done lovingly.
gay ppl smh 🤷🏿‍♀️ what can you do... /j

Since no one will do it, I will.
Tumblr media
I imagine that Bruce would take care of Vance’s wounds each time he would get in a fight.
~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*
Bruce would be biking home from a great baseball practice and then he would see Vance walking towards him with cuts and bruises on his hands and body. Bruce could see a big bruise on his cheek and bloody cuts on Vance’s hands. Even though Bruce thinks his boyfriend is always handsome, it wasn’t a great sight to see.
V: “. . .”
B: “. . .”
V: “. . . Hey Bruce . . . Soooooo.”
B: *the most tired sigh you’ll ever hear* “C’mon V, let’s patch you up.”
When they get to Bruce’s room, Bruce already had supplies for Vance because of how many times it has happened before. Bruce made Vance sit on his bed while he patched him up and Vance would start to rant to Bruce about the fight he was in and how he beat the shit outta the guy because he bumped into his pinball machine when he was so close to beating his high score. Bruce just listened to his boyfriend talk while cleaning his knuckles that were bloody. He didn’t want to know who’s blood it was though.
Bruce knew his boyfriend was strong. He always heard about what Vance has done over the years and how he get’s arrested almost every time he goes to Grab’n’go . Even with that knowledge, Bruce always worries about him. Always wondering what if he doesn’t win the next one…
V: “Hey Bruce?? You fuckin listening or what??”
B: (Shit, I zoned out)
Bruce looks up at him and sees the confused face his boyfriend makes. He also thinks he sees a bit of worry in that face as well. Bruce sighs as he starts to put the bandage on Vance’s knuckles
B: “Listen, I know you beat him up but…please be more careful.”
V: “I can take care of my damn self. You don’t need to act like a mom or some shit.”
B: “Please be more careful…For me?”
V: “But-“
B: “Please…”
V: “…Fine- I’ll try to be more careful.”
B: “Thank you V.”
Bruce gave Vance a lil peck on the corner of his mouth while he finished patching Vance up.
B: “I rented The Shining and got some more popcorn from the store. We can watch it together while my parents are out?”
V: “I mean, sure. You can hold on to me when you get too scared.~”
Vance puts on a smirk that makes Bruce feel butterflies in his stomach. (Damn he’s beautiful.) Bruce laughs as he got up to make the popcorn.
B: “Of course I would, Babe”
When bruce comes back with the popcorn, they get comfy and started the movie. During the movie, Vance was laying the back of his head on Bruce’s chest while Bruce slowly massaged his head. Vance felt like he needed to say something. Anything at all.
V: “Thank you…”
B: *chuckles* “For what?”
V: “For dealing with a piece of shit like me…”
B: “Well, thank YOU for letting me”
Vance laughs at that just as a jump-scare popped up and Bruce jumped at it, grabbing Vance’s hand out of reflex. Vance grabs back and kissed the top of Bruce’s hand. Bruce gave him a heartwarming smile and went back to watching the movie.
The whole time Vance was thinking to himself
(How could I ever deserve you❤️)
~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*•~*
{ I did it😭• Pls be nice to me since this is my first fic🤞🏾🧍🏾‍♀️}
