Sugar Rush
Tom Holland x Sister
Summary: You go on a sugar rush and convince Tom to do an Instagram Live.
Warnings: I don’t think there is any. This is full of fluff.
A/N: This is short but Tom is a good brother in this.
MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
Tom decided to stay home tonight while all the other boys went out to Harrison’s parents house. He called you to see if you wanted to spend time with him. He was sent home from Germany just a few days ago due to the pandemic. He had yet to see you because you were trying to figure out your school work. Being 16 wasn’t always easy, so when Friday night came along, he called you to come join him for dinner and a movie night.
You didn’t see Tom before he left for Germany due to school and work. But now that you were let go, you only had school to worry about. You and Tom were always close, so when he called you, you quickly agreed. 
When you walked into his house, you could already smell the food. Since it was your favorite dish and Sam cooked it for you often, you knew Sam had cooked it before he joined the others. 
Tom smiled as you walked into the kitchen dropping your overnight bag. “Hey Y/N/N! How’s my favorite sister?” 
“I’m your only sister you goof.” You said as you rolled your eyes. He laughed as he walked around the counter to give you a hug. “Missed you.” You whispered in his chest. He kissed your head and squeezed you tighter as he whispered he missed you too.
After dinner and a few movies with movie snacks, you were wired. You couldn’t help being hyper after eating multiple bags of candy and chugging soda like it was water. It was nearing 1am when you asked, “Tom can we do a live stream? Maybe have some fans to give us an at home challenge or questions we have to answer? Because I'm really bored.”
Tom laughed, “It’s the middle of the night Y/N. No one will watch.”
“It’s still waking hours in the states. They’ll watch. Please. I’m bored and I need to burn some of this energy.” You begged. Putting your hands together and pouting your lips while giving him the puppy eyes. 
Tom sighed and pulled out his phone. You sat next to him and watched him pull up Instagram. 
“Wow it’s weird being live this late at night. Or early morning I should say.” Tom laughed as he watched his numbers go up. Once he hit a few thousand in a matter of seconds, he started talking again. “Hey guys! I’m here with my sister Y/N and she had too much sugar during our movie night. She wanted to do a live just to see what you were up to. And she wants to ask you something.” Tom turned the phone towards you.
You smiled, “Hi everyone! I’m like super hyper right now.” You said dragging out the super part. “I’ve talked Tom into answering some questions and doing challenges. What’s an at home challenge that we can do in our living room?” 
Both you and Tom looked at the comments that rolled in. One caught your eye. It said to do the TikTok dances. “Oooh let’s do this one. We already know how to do a few of them.” You said standing up to stand in the middle of the living room. You pulled up the songs on your phone. “Come on Tom. Let's do the Savage one.” 
Tom got up and set the phone down on the TV stand. He backed up and got into position as you hit play on your phone. Both of you dancing with no care in the world that thousands are watching. When the dance finished you both laughed and picked another dance to do.
After a few dances, Tom grabbed his phone and sat down on the couch to answer questions. You sat next to him placing your head on his shoulder so you could see the screen too. Thirty minutes of joking around and answering questions, you started to doze off. Tom didn’t notice and kept telling a story from when he was on the Devil all the Time set. Tom looked over at you and noticed you were asleep. 
“Well guys, it is late and I lost my streaming partner. Thanks for helping our boredom. Until next time.” Tom said as he went to shut the live off. “Every time. How do I..? Ah there it is. Bye everyone.” 
Tom put his phone down and turned towards you. Thankfully you were already in your pajamas from watching movies all night. Tom gently moved you from his shoulder and stood up. He turned and picked you up and carried you down to his room to put you in his bed. He smiled down at the peaceful look on your face. He was grateful for the little time he got to spend with you.

Birthday Wishes, Birthday Kisses
Second place
by @penningpines
{ I know they turned 21 last year, but getting drunk for the first time on 21st birthdays is like v special to me }
Grunkle Stan guided the blindfolded twins into the kitchen, a hand resting on each of their shoulders.
“Alright, kids, you can take them off now.”
“Hardly kids now,” they heard Wendy laugh. They removed their blindfolds to find her, Soos, and both their Grunkles standing before the kitchen table, which was lined with brightly colored bottles and cans.
Mabel tilted her head. “What is—”
“Alcohol!” Stan exclaimed, throwing his arms into the air. “Booze! Man’s great equalizer!”
Ford, standing at the other side of the table, chuckled warmly. “He may have already had a bit. Happy birthday, kids! You are officially of legal drinking age now, so enjoy yourselves! But go slow. And hydrate!”
Soos raised a bottle in the air and beckoned Dipper over to him. “You’re a man now. Come try this shit.”
The dark brown glass bottle in Soos’s hand didn’t look like it contained anything terribly appetizing, and the closer Dipper got to it, the worse it stunk of yeast. He reached out to take the bottle from Soos, who was now holding it in front of him, and with another small sniff and a grimace, he reluctantly took a sip. Immediately after, he began coughing and sputtered out a, “this is disgusting!”, shoving the bottle back into Soos’s hand.
“That’s the taste of manhood,” Stan said proudly, clinking his own beer bottle against Soos’s. “It’s an acquired taste, like coffee and cigarettes and lake water. You’ll get used to it.”
“What was that last one?”
Stan narrowed his eyes. “Cigarettes?”
“N-no, after that,” Dipper replied, grabbing a bottle of water off of the table and chugging it down to get the taste of stale bread and dead dreams off of his tongue.
“Don’t worry about it,” Stan said, waving a hand dismissively.
Mabel watched in slight horror as the interaction went on. “Do I have to drink that, too?”
“No, thank fuck,” Wendy cut in, handing a colorful, foamy, multicolored atrocity to her. “I took the liberty of making you something a little more… you. It’s gonna be a total sugar rush, and you won’t be able to taste the alcohol at all, so be very careful.”
Mabel’s eyes widened as an excited gasp left her. She eagerly took the glass from Wendy, placing her lips on the colorful twisty straw she had stuck into it, and took a big sip.
“Dipper!”
A disgusted look remained on Dipper’s face as he turned to face his twin. “What?”
“You have to try this!” Mabel pushed the glass into his hands, eyes sparkling in anticipation as she waited for her brother to taste it.
Dipper raised an eyebrow, observing the foamy pink mess, before taking a small sip.
“What do you think?!” She asked enthusiastically.
He grimaced yet again. “This is so… I can feel my teeth rotting…”
“Sorry,” Wendy laughed. “I may or may not have literally poured like an entire cup of sugar in there after all the sodas and juices.”
“It doesn’t bother me,” Mabel boasted, snatching her drink back from Dipper and taking another swig.
“You’re used to running on sugar and boybands, Mabes,” he chuckled. “Of course it doesn’t bother you.”
“Try something straight with a mixer, then,” Ford suggested, tapping a finger against the lid of the vodka bottle closest to him. “Any soda or juice will mix with it.”
Dipper eyed the table, grabbing a peach Pitt Cola and an empty cup.
“You’ll wanna measure the hard stuff,” Soos advised, handing a shot glass to Dipper. “And use more mixer than alcohol, otherwise that’s all you’re gonna be able to taste.”
With an appreciative nod, Dipper filled the shot glass, poured it into the cup, and filled the rest with Pitt Cola. A single sip and he seemed satisfied with the mix. “Thanks, Soos.”
“It’s what I’m here for,” he smiled. He then deadpanned. “I am the keeper of alcoholic knowledge.”
Stan playfully slapped a hand against Soos’s back. “Sure are, big guy.”
“Oh, on that,” Wendy piped up. “Carbonation will filter the alcohol into your blood quicker, so be careful with your mixers.”
Soos cleared his throat as he stood from his spot and offered it to Dipper, Wendy mirroring the same action for Mabel. “Go on. Sit down. Drink. Talk about stuff.”
The twins took a seat, offering each other a smile across the table.
“Here’s to 21,” Mabel smiled, raising her glass to meet Dipper’s.
“21,” he repeated, tapping his glass against Mabel’s.
They each took another sip or two.
“Who do you wanna bet is more of a lightweight?” Ford asked, working away at his own bottle.
“Mabel,” Wendy responded instantly. “Definitely. No offense,” she laughed, turning her attention to the accused. “It’s just… in my experience, for some reason, alcohol tends to hit the bubbly ones first, and I’m pretty confident you’re a happy, giggly drunk.”
“What kind of drunk do you think I am?” Dipper inquired.
“Hmm…”
“Conspiracy theorist,” Stan offered easily. “I am fully expecting you to go on about lizard people once it kicks in.”
“Hey,” he laughed. “Not fair! Don’t conspiracy theorists sound crazy? I don’t think—”
“To be fair,” Soos interrupted, taking another swig of his drink. “Your book of crazy monster stuff sounds like some conspiracy type stuff a lot of the time.”
Dipper scoffed playfully in mock offense. “Gravity Falls is full of crazy shit. I am merely documenting and researching said shit.”
This time, Ford slapped a hand against Dipper’s back. “That’s my boy! Carrying on the family business, eh?”
Mabel giggled into her drink, lips pulling at her straw, perhaps a tad too fast. “You still need to find me a unicorn. Like a good unicorn. Not one that’s all full of themselves.”
“What if I find you a caticorn instead?” He offered.
“Even better!” Mabel laughed, raising her glass, which was now halfway empty.
Wendy raised hers to meet Mabel’s this time. “Slow down there, birthday girl,” she laughed, reaching for a bottle of water to offer her. “I told you this one was pretty strong, and you don’t want to make yourself sick.”
“Pshhh,” Mabel laughed. “From sugar? I don’t get sick! My body’s built up a tolerance! A-after that whole Smile Dip incident…”
“From alcohol,” she smiled, pouring one of the water bottles into Mabel’s drink until it reached the rim. “This will help, trust me.”
Soos followed suit, pouring water into what little Dipper had gotten through on his own drink.
“Take it from someone older and wiser, little dudes,” he said, grabbing his own bottle to chug. “Hydrate or diedrate.”
“Or,” Wendy laughed. “Less drastically, hydrate or get super sick and have an awful hangover in the morning.”
“Speaking of,” Soos said, turning his attention to Stan and Ford. “Do you guys remember the first time you got drunk?”
The older twins exchanged a glance, and Ford was the first to speak.
“Times were different. Laws were different, too. We were 16, and—”
“—and you got fucked off of three beers,” Stan interrupted, pointing and laughing at his twin. “And then you got sick, but I never did. Alpha Twin!”
Ford rolled his eyes playfully. “You are not the Alpha Twin just because—”
“Ha!” Now Mabel was pointing at Dipper. “You’re the Ford, I’m the Stan! Alpha Twin!”
“Yeah!” Stan cheered, thrusting his fist into the air. “I got Mabel!”
“Hey!” Dipper laughed. “What about me?”
“I got you,” Ford proclaimed proudly. “Together, we will discover all the mysteries of Gravity Falls!”
“Like whatever the hell is living at the bottom of Stan’s sock drawer,” Wendy loudly half-whispered to Soos, who stuck his hands up in defense, chuckling, “I don’t even wanna know!”
“Grunkle Stan and I will… hmm…” Mabel chewed at the tip of her straw. “Take over the world!”
“Quite a tall order to fill, little miss.” He moved in closer to ruffle her hair. “I don’t know if my back can keep up with that.”
“Oh, shit, wait!”
They all turned their attention to Wendy, who was taking hold of Mabel’s hand and helping her to her feet. “You guys need to stand up for a minute. If you sit the whole time, the first time you get up, you’ll fall over. Happened to me my first time! Robbie started freaking out for a minute, but I thought it was hilarious!”
“I’m sure it’s not so— whoa!” Mabel clutched onto Wendy’s arm, trying to stabilize herself. “Okay, maybe it’s a little bad right now.”
Soos did the same for Dipper, helping him up, though he was much more stable on his feet.
“One to ten,” Ford said, addressing the twins. “On a lev- uh, a scale, I mean. How drunk do you feel?”
“We don't…” Mabel started, to which Dipper finished, “…have anything to compare it to?”
“That was a dumb question for such a smart guy,” Stan cackled, shaking his head at his brother.
“Yeah,” he agreed, matching his twin’s joviality. “Pretty dumb!”
“What was your first time being drunk like?” Wendy asked Soos, reaching out to playfully pluck the bottle out of his hand.
“It was fun,” he snickered. “…until it wasn’t. I got, like, mega sick, dude. But before that, I was having a good ass time!”
“First time sickness buds!” She exclaimed, reaching out for a high five with the hand that wasn’t supporting Mabel.
“Is it, uh,” Dipper, who had just been released from Soos’s grasp, chuckled nervously. “Is it possible to, um, not get sick your first time? Or ever?”
“Hydrate or diedrate,” Soos repeated.
“Hydration,” Wendy giggled, thumping Soos’s bottle against his arm before handing it back to him. “And pacing yourself, and eating before, during, or both. After is kinda debated but it seems to help me, so I do it after, too. Fresh air can help.”
Mabel looked up at Stan. “Is that why you had us each so much before this?”
“As is tradition,” he winked.
“Okay,” Dipper nodded, reaching for another bottle of water with a slight quiver in his legs. Still steady so far.
“Especially you,” Wendy playfully punched Mabel in the arm, causing her to stumble. “You’ve been going at that thing way too fast.”
“The Alpha Twin,” Mabel giggled, “does not get sick. I simply transfer all my sickness to Dipper. When we were little, I had chicken pox. As soon as mine went away, Dipper got them. I haven’t gotten them since, and if that doesn’t prove my theory, I don’t know what will!”
“Mabel, I’m pretty sure chicken pox—”
“Shhh.” She pressed a finger against Dipper’s lips. “No.” Her finger dragged down his body, quickly swiping it over his chest and arms and grabbing at his hand, which she pulled down with her as she dropped to the floor. “We’re gonna sit here now!”
The room, if only slightly, steadied once Mabel had to focus less on keeping her knees from buckling or her legs from otherwise taking her down. As she looked across to Dipper, though, he seemed to be swaying a bit. Or maybe she was— she couldn’t tell.
Stan began telling a story above them, but from down on the ground, and with her lack of focus, his voice sounded small and distant.
“I’m… mmm… mm… tired.” She yawned and reached out for Dipper, who was already staring at her. “Are you tired?”
He shrugged his response. “You wanna go to bed?”
“Yes. No. Mm-may—yes.”
“Okay,” Dipper laughed. “Then let’s go to bed.”
“Okay.”
“Okay?”
“Okay,” Mabel repeated, now loud enough for the rest to hear, holding onto Dipper’s arm with one hand and Wendy’s leg with the other. She maneuvered herself onto her feet, tugging Dipper up with her, and just about shoved her face into his chest as she stumbled forward and clutched onto him more completely. “We are going to have a meeting. It’s about our twin telepathy.” She turned slightly to face the rest of the room. “And only s-s-twins who are under the age of… seventy-b-billion are allowed,” she slurred. “Okay, bye!”
“That means bedtime,” Dipper laughed, supporting Mabel as he helped move her over to the staircase. “This… may present a problem.”
Mabel stared intensely at the staircase for a moment, studying it, before she looked up slightly at her brother and pressed her hands against his chest and pushed to distance herself from him. “I am the Alpha Twin. There is no obstacle too large.”
“You’re gonna hurt yourself, Mabes. Come on. One step at a time.” He took hold of her arm which, honestly, she hadn’t noticed, and began helping her up the stairs.
“I’m doing it!” She exclaimed excitedly. “I’m doing it! I’m—” she looked down and noticed Dipper’s grip on her arm. “Oh. Well, we’re almost up there anyway!”
“Mabel, we’re only three steps up the—”
“We’re almost u-up there anyway,” she repeated, lifting an unstable foot, setting it down, lifting it again, moving it to the side, and fumbling closer to Dipper.
Wendy came up behind them, placed a hand on each of their backs, and helped push them forward. With some slight coordination issues, more than a little bit of random ‘whoaaa!’s, and Mabel tripping over her own feet not once, not twice, but three times, they made it to the top of the staircase.
“Should be able to handle it now,” Dipper giggled to himself, pulling Mabel against his chest once again and guiding her (pulling her, more like) to their shared bedroom.
He got them to the door, which, of course, was shut. He fumbled with the doorknob for a moment before the door swung open, which startled Mabel, and got them inside. He led Mabel over to her bed, which she managed to get into without too much trouble.
“Perfect birthday,” she mused, “almost.”
“Almost?” Dipper questioned, kneeling beside Mabel’s bed to keep himself from falling down. He had managed to keep it together enough up the stairs, but now his legs were threatening to give out and deprive him of his favorite pastime of walking in a straight line.
“There’s oooone birthday wish I didn’t get.” She stared up at the ceiling, clutching onto one of her stuffed animals.
“And what’s that? Maybe I can help?”
“Mm…” she thought for a moment. “No. Never mind. Too embarrassing. G’night!”
Dipper laughed, shaking her shoulder. “Come on, Mabes.”
“Nope.”
“You can tell me! I’m your twin. Come on, use the telepathy!”
She closed her eyes, placed a hand on Dipper’s forehead (well, mostly, and after a few tries), took a deep breath, and whispered, “I… wanted… a birthday kiss.”
Dipper scoffed, amused. “Is that it?”
“What do you mean ‘is that it’?!” She sat up quickly, opening her eyes and turning to look at him, face flushed. “It’s embarrassing! Aren’t you embarrassed?!”
“Mm… nope. Come on, you’ve admitted to me before that you’ve thought about it.”
“Thinking about it and actually doing it are two very different things, Dipper!”
He raised his hands up defensively with a soft laugh. “Alright, alright, just thought I’d offer.”
Mabel groaned playfully. She fell back into her mattress with a soft thud. “Okay… fine… come here.”
“What?”
“Come here! I’m gonna close my eyes so it’s not so… weird… and you’re gonna kiss me like I’m a princess.”
She could feel the weight on her bed shift, signaling that Dipper had sat down next to her. His next question came softly, softer than she expected, and she had to strain her ears to hear it.
“Like you’re a princess?”
“M-mhm…” she felt a little shyer about it now. It felt more real than when she had proposed it. She kept her eyes shut, but she felt her body tighten and flinch as he moved closer to her.
“Actually…” she opened her eyes to find Dipper’s face about a foot away from hers, watching her with a loving gaze. A slight smile was pulling at the corner of his mouth.
“Okay,” she breathed. She couldn’t help but smile, reflecting her twin’s. “You can… you can do it now.”
She let her eyes flutter shut again, and he followed her lead, closing the space between them slowly, anticipation building.
His lips hovered above hers for a moment, soft breath matching her own, tension in the room building to a climax when he slowly, softly pressed their lips together.
Though anticipated, it took both of them a split second to process what was happening. Quivering lips steadied as they pressed against their matching pair, and for a moment, they were stuck there, until Dipper pressed his harder against his twin’s before awkwardly pulling away.
He opened his eyes, almost hesitantly, and watched as Mabel did the same. She blushed deeply before breaking out into a fit of giggles, forcing her head to the side so her hair would fall into her face and offer even the slightest bit of concealment.
“Perfect birthday,” she mumbled into her pillow. “For real this time.”
Dipper moved in again to plant another kiss against her face, this one a soft, loving peck on the forehead. “I’m glad,” he grinned. “I agree.”
A comfortable silence filled the room, until he whispered, “goodnight, Mabel. Happy birthday.”
She felt the weight of her mattress shift again as he stood up, crossing the room to get into his own bed.
“Um, Dipp?”
“Yeah, Mabes?”
Mabel rolled over onto her other side to face him. “Can… um… can I get birthday cuddles, too? Like old times?”
He simply chuckled, turning and walking back to her bed, which she had begun moving stuffed animals and pillows off of to give him space to lie down.
“Thank you, bro bro.” She nuzzled her face into his chest as he wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on the top of her head, breathing in her scent.
“Anything for the Alpha Twin,” he murmured, earning a giggle from his sister as she nuzzled closer to him.
“Best birthday ever,” Dipper repeated, mumbling into Mabel’s hair, arms tightening around her midsection in a protective squeeze.
Not bad, 21. Not bad at all.

Let me take care of it.
Summary : “The reader appears to be really confident and her and Colby start crushing on each other. He adores how confident she appears. But she’s super shy in bed and when that comes out he’s super gentle and sweet with her about it. It’s revealed she’s not as confident as she lets on, and that makes him love her more” - anon
Warnings : heavy makeout session and reference to sex.
Word count : 1098 words
———————————————————————
I walked over to Sam’s apartment , bringing in the supplies needed for the pizza night being held today. I was personally in charge for bringing over drinks , waddling my way as I struggled a bit to open up the front door.
“I got that princess.” A heavy voice spoke , starling me a bit. I eased out once I saw the hand with a bird tattooed between the thumb and index finger push open the door , symbolising it was Colby. A smirk formed across my lips at his choice of words , princess.
“Thanks loverboy.” I chuckled , watching him look at me stunned before turning red. “L-loverboy ?” He stuttered , helping me place the drinks on the counter table.
The rest of the group gathered across the living room , leaving me and Colby alone in the kitchen. “Ahan , apparently you like it when I call you that.” I smirked , the red pigment still vigilant over his tan skin.
He bit his lip while watching me walk away from him and enter into the living room , I could feel his eyes darting over my body and specifically stopping at my butt.
I quickly turned around , catching him off guard. “Eyes up top Brock.” I yelled , drawing everyone’s attention to our little conversation.
His eyes wandered across the room nervously before keeping himself busy by pouring out a drink.
-
Colby’s POV
It’s weird having such a confident girl around , a girl who could easily shut my mouth up. She was different , and I already felt it.
She caught me staring back at her ass while she decided to call me out in the midst of the whole group , catching me off guard as I found myself fumbling with a drink.
As hours passed by , Sam decided to settle on a fun little blindfold hide and seek game. Eventually Y/n and I were the first ones to be out ,having a little corner of our own.
I eyed her up and down , unable to stop staring at her beautiful figure. She was perfect. I casually sipped onto my beverage , still eyeing down her features as she caught me staring at her.
She cleared out her throat , “what is it Colby ?” She whispered while scooting closer to me , her faces just inches away from mine. I gulped down the need to kiss her so badly , sending a slight nod in her direction.
“Aww , does Brock have a little on crush on me ?” She asked , catching me off guard once again. I chuckled , moving my gaze away from her as my fingertips grazed over the rim of the red solo cup , too afraid to confess the truth.
“Don’t worry. I like you too.” She blurted out casually , taking the cup out of my hands before chugging down a good amount of the soda while maintaining eye contact.
Somehow , she made me go crazy for her. I could already feel myself getting wrapped up around one of her fingers. Soon enough , the sexual tension between us grew a significant amount , it was too much for me to bear.
Since it was only the two of us , I leaned in , demanding for a kiss that instant. Her body roughly moved up against mine as she placed a passionate kiss on my lips , backing away after seconds. But I wanted something more , something powerful , something intense.
I grabbed onto her hand and pulled her out the door , making sure to close Sam’s front door before leaving. We were being way too silent for any one of the members to realise we were gone.
I lead our way to my apartment , busting open the door as I didn’t waste another minute , pushing her up against the door as our lips connected for the second time that night.
She deepened the kiss while tugging on my hair , earning a groan from me. Our tongues were now fighting for dominance as I massaged her tongue , a soft moan dropping out of her lips.
I lost all contact from her for a second before resuming our session by attacking her neck. She soon started panting aloud , her breath hitching in her throat very often.
“What’s wrong ?” I asked her worriedly , waiting for her approval to begin touching her once again.
“I...I’ve never done this before.” She whispered , her voice sounding angelic as her eyes dropped down to the floor.
The confident girl somehow changed into this sweet , innocent being as she managed to draw me closer to her , making me wonder what else she had in store. She remained mysterious , every layer of her had to be pealed by someone special and I could possibly be the one.
“It’s okay , let me take care of it.” I whispered seductively against her ear , her skin quivering in excitement.
I swiftly lifted her up and made my way over to my room , setting her down on the bed slowly before making love to her.
It’s been the first time in months since I’ve ever been gentle or even craved for something soft but she brought about the change in me.
I felt the blood in my veins rush towards my head as immersed into her , feeling whole once again.
Her soft moans motivated me to treat her delicately , like she was fragile and could be broken within minutes if not handled carefully. This was the side of her only perceptible to me and it managed to drive me crazy.
Our sweating bodies slithered against one another as we felt immense pleasure coursing through our veins.
Her moans grew louder , being my command to go faster to which I complied. I held her into my arms once our orgasm washed over us , riding out her high as she breathed heavily.
I leaned in until our forehead stuck upon each other , closing the gap between our lips as I passionately kissed her , tasting a mixture of sugar and sex within them.
We laid there for minute , gathering our breath as I stared into her eyes , still mesmerised by her presence. I couldn’t get enough of her sweet lips and dived in for more , kissing her for a while before she decided to break the silence.
“We should properly go back Loverboy.” She chuckled , rustling my hair before getting up and putting back her clothes on while I shortly did the same before returning back to Sam’s apartment.
This wasn’t going to be the end of us , I needed her as much as she needed me and the both of us sensed that strongly.

Daydreaming p.ii
I’ll Be Your Sinner (In Secret)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
_______________________
This is the part, you've got to say all that you're feeling, feeling
Packing a bag, we're leaving tonight when everyone's sleeping, sleeping
Let's run away
I'll run away with you
'Cause you make me feel like
I could be driving you all night
And I'll find your lips in the street lights
I wanna be there with you..
The seventeen-year-old’s eyes droop the slightest bit as he tries to continue the focus aimed at his homework, listening to Mr. Stark’s soothing voice hum along to ACDC and somehow make the addictive rough beats sound gentle and sweet, unknowingly lulling his sleep-deprived Gen Z self. He cuddles deeper into the leather jacket his mentor had given him earlier, curling into himself and breathing in the home-y scent of hot coffee, despite the obvious fact it only adds to his sleepiness, and makes FRIDAY silently turn up the room’s heaters — bless her digital soul.
“Pete, you still functioning?” Comments Mr. Stark, amused when he turns from prepping their short dinner to find Peter slumping; nearly snoozing on the marble countertop.
He snorts in even more amusement as the younger practically jumps up, looking like a disgruntled puppy and whipping his fluffy head of wet brown curls back and forth. “I’m up, I’m up! Of course, sir!” Ever the fanboy trying to make a good impression, Peter even rips off the leather jacket, hastily folding it and setting it onto the seat beside him. “Do you want me to go home, now? That’s alright, Mr. Stark, I’m sorry for bothering you, I really was just on my way to Ned’s, but I- well, the spidey senses warned me not to jump into the puddle but I wanted to and yeah my common sense isn’t very sense-y, so I jumped and I slipped on the snap of something slippy in it, my clothes got drenched and I probably bothered you and Happy because you drove past, saw me, picked me up even if you didn’t have to, so I’m really thankful for that but now I’m all good and you’re offering dinner and I’m so sorry-“
Tony chuckles, freezing Peter instantly as the beautiful wheeze of breath washes over his whole body, ringing in his ears, heating him more than the leather jacket with inner cotton could ever. The chuckle eventually turns into sniggers, then laughter, until Peter’s beet red pouting at Mr. Stark gasping for air against the fridge, wondering what exactly was so hilarious.
“You,” Tony starts, “are fucking adorable,” he wipes away nonexistent tears of laughter, causing Peter to pout some more and contemplate whether he and Mr. Stark getting closer together was really a good thing or a bad thing.
(It was certainly giving him mental heart attacks, he could tell you that.)
The man turns up the heat for the pot of pasta, crossing what little space was between them to lean on the counter like Peter, but stood up, smiling at him. “You’ve been ranting a lot, these days, got lots on your mind, huh?”
Uh, yeah, I’m gay for you, his bothersome mind snorts unhelpfully. And I’d like it if you were gay for me too, as in, your dick in—
Alright, alright! Peter snaps at himself, I get it, now shut up, man.
“-asking if you’ve got any issues?” Tony questions, smile a little less ‘lol’ and a little more ‘¿¿¿???’ The confused grin has Peter grimancing, trying to come up with a sensible excuse for him loosing sleep.
You could tell him that you’re procrastinating with homework, staying up late to work on it because you watch funny videos on youtube! Brain Voice #2 supplies, he’d understand—
“I sneak out at night to do the do with MJ,” Peter blurts.
ABORT MISSION. ABORT THE FUCKING MISSION.
...Damn, sad to say I saw that coming.
Tony doesn’t hear the internal argument Peter’s having with his selves at the moment, instead smirking at the fact this teenage kid thinks he could out lie Tony with lying to Tony. “Yeah,” he drawls, “kid, pretty sure you’re not fucking Miss Michelle. Especially when you’re still calling sex ‘doing the do’.“
The man cocks his head to the side, eyes glittering. “But you could be material for sneaking out.”
“Huh?” Peter blinks, sipping the last of his coffee hurriedly so that he had nothing to spit out in case Mr. Stark surprised him.
He watches him shake his head, sighing but smiling. “Nevermind, you still do your best to follow May’s curfew, and that’s rare for kids your age, so I shouldn’t be bad influence.”
That rubs Peter the wrong way.
“Mr. Stark,” he rolls his eyes, “you’re hardly bad influence, I bet I’ve done things that would definitely shock you if you knew.”
Tony grunts, stirring the spagetthi sauce for them, eyebrows raised, “wow, sport, lemme guess, you came home a minute past curfew? Badass.”
Peter huffs at the mocking tone, standing to sway his way towards the elder, common sense definitely missing as he seductively trails his fingers up Tony’s exposed tan bicep, gently snuggling into him. Slowly, he whispers, “I could be worse for you, sir, I could.”
Tony growls, gripping Peter’s hips in a bruising hold that has the boy whining softly, niping his ear before the former remembers fuck- he’s just a kid what are you doing?
“I meant going on a short late night road trip, Pete,” he tries to clear the rumbling of his throat, nudging Peter back.
The younger simply grins with youthful rose cheeks and touseled locks, looking all too accomplished by the little stunt he pulled, rocking back n forth on his heels and toes. “That actually sounds really fun, Mr. Stark! We should try that after dinner.”
“...I knew you wouldn’t say no to my awesome cooking,” Tony awkwardly jokes, light atmosphere returning and sweeping away the previous heavy beginnings of ‘Sex Haze’ that totally screwed the inappropriate thoughts of his mentee he’d tried burrying ages ago.
[~]
“I don’t think I can take anymore pop,” Peter hiccups as he chugs down another can of cream soda, giggling with his head propped nearly out of the open shotgun window. His fluffy hair whips around in the wind, brushing his face and simply causing Tony to appreciate the adorable beau beside him. The man speeds up, on the empty, no-cameras highway, winking at Peter. “Time to be cliché, go ahead.”
Carly Rae Jepsen’s Runaway is bursting into the night air and Peter’s eardrums, especially because everything’s cranked to eleven, but the boy unbuckles his seatbelt and throws away the can at some rando tree, drunk on sugar, since everything needs to be cranked to twelve, now.
“I’m a fucking adult!” He whoops, hands on the glass of the topless car, standing dangerously on his sock-covered toes at the edge of his leather seat. There’s a few answering crows that have good enough timing that make him giggle deliriously, Tony laughing along because this was incredibly awesome. Really, how did he not come up with this before? The wind rushes past his ears, blushing his cheeks and cooling the previous resting heat in him.
He looks at Tony, who’s already staring back, grinning, and blows him a kiss which he takes in hand and presses to his cheek.
(Maybe Tony didn’t want nothing sexual yet, but Peter’d be damned if he didn’t try his chick-flick-flirting.)
“Let’s run away,” the older starts lowly, tilting his head back to focus on Peter’s dazzling smile.
“I’ll run away, with you,” Peter sings aloud, throwing his hands into the air repeatedly.
Baby, take me to the ceiling
I’ll be your sinner in secret
When the lights go out
Run away with me, run away with me!
The seveteen-year-old can’t stop the adrenaline rush in his veins and the pure joy; pure sappy love in his head, thanking everything and everyone he’s fallen for Tony Stark, because the man, try as he does to deny and hide it, has fallen for him too.
That’s magic, if Peter would ever admit.
Not too surprising though; every moment he spent with Tony was magic.
This your chance, Peter, a voice eerily close to Karen’s echoes to him alone, kiss him.
He studies Tony’s sharp brown hair, saliva-wet lips, handsome goatee and strong form. He stares thoughtfully at those comfy arms that held him steadily when needed, at the hands that could put him to bed with one simple brush, and dopily sighs, a little too whipped for a spider-mixed-teen.
Yeah.
He’s thanking Tony correctly.
Sat down and silent, Peter leans onto Tony’s shoulder, ignoring how he tenses, lowering the radio’s volume. “Thanks for this, Mr. Stark, it’s helped me blow off a bit of steam from the whole MIT and superhero-ing stress.” He sees the clenched muscles of Tony’s arm relax, and runs his palm over them, just to enjoy the sight of those hard ridges stiffening.
“No problem,” Tony answers quietly, probably over thinking the situation like he always did, questioning Peter’s actions for hormones instead of actual crushing-flirting-trying.
“Can I ask for something, right now?” He breathes softly, enraptured by the moonlight on Tony’s face, petting the soft bristles near his cheek and on his chin.
“More cream soda?” His soon-to-be boyfriend jokes, and Peter can’t stop the high giggle that escapes him, because this nervous 48-year-old acted so close to his age it was honestly endearing. “No,” he sits up, wondering if fate put on Carly Rae’s song on purpose, cupping Tony’s face. “Kiss me, please.”
The car stops.
Peter’s heart stops in anticipation.
Tony shakily exhales, closing his eyes, but not pulling away Peter’s lax hands. “Pete-“
“Hold onto me,” he pleads in tune to the song, pressing their foreheads together. Tony told him it was time to be cliché, and he was gonna be as cliché as he could be, right now. “I never wanna let you go,” the whispered truth pulls Tony’s arms to wrap around him, and Peter’s heart speeds again. He almost sobs in relief, that his fella doesn’t casually reject him as usual. For some reason, spidey senses were telling him this was the last chance he had to confess.
The man’s thumb brushes his exposed hipbone gently, breath smelling of coffee and mint in an oddly addictive mix, over taking all of Peter in a way that was so Tony he wanted it candled and burning in his room forever.
“You have to be sure you want this,” Tony mumbles, croaky with something just as pleading as the former, “I don’t know what I’d do if you pull away- Peter, fuck, this is so fucked up.. I’m ruining your life-“
“Ruin me,” Peter laughs, light and floaty, “you ruin me instead, I love it, I love you.”
The kiss that follows is so innocent Peter wants to giggle and cry at the same time, brief and gentle but so, so worth every painful awkward moment between them. It has him shuddering and begging internally for more, yet he just beams at the moment, the first peaks of sunlight poking at his closed lids, Tony’s laughter stuck on replay.
“I love you shouldn’t be said before the first date, kiddo,” he chuckles, sounding high as well, almost glowing. “I think we did this whole thing backwards.”
Peter snorts, pecking him shortly on the cheek, cuddling him like he’s always wanted to, “not really, it’s not completely backwards until you fuck me before we get to the first date.”
“You little shit,” Tony chokes, flicking his ear, only earning a playful kiss to his finger.
It’s the happiest Peter’s felt himself be in weeks, and that’s amazing; Tony’s amazing.
(What he doesn’t know is that this wouldn’t just be the first, but also the last time he’d get to run away from the world with Tony.)
(With their packed schedules, and brief meetings, Peter doesn’t get to drive freely with his lover even once after their sole time, and the last time he sees the savior of his childhood — his Tony — is on an alien planet, when the world turns to gold.
“I’m sorry, I love you,” he wanted to sob.
“I’m sorry,” is all he gets to say.)

Parker Luck Part 3
           Things came back slowly to him. One small thing at a time flitting back into his sense, like the cold feeling of the tiles against his warm hands. Smooth and slightly rough with scuff marks that had accumulated over the years. The arch of his back as his body was elevated on some firm surface. The smell of some kind of oil and cologne. His senses were still fuzzy as confusion blurred his judgment. Why was he on the floor? A muffled voice grew louder and sharped by the second. Clear once Peter was able to recognize it.
           Tony Stark.
           And the warm surface beneath him was actually Mr. Stark’s arms and legs cradling him to prop his body up. Holding him tightly. The realization made Peter’s blue eyes shoot open wide, immediately trying to step up while stuttering multiple apologies and blushing redder than a tomato as his brain tried to comprehend the fact he was being held like a child by Tony Stark. How did that even-?
           Mr. Stark halted any escape attempts by holding him tighter, holding him down and securing Peter with a stern and serious gaze that only worked to make Peter feel even more nervous and anxious. Internally twitching as it felt like Mr. Stark could see through him like a mirror.
           “Did you get injured on patrol?” Peter furrowed a brow, but calmed slightly.
           “No… I haven’t gone on patrol since Tuesday.”  Truth was clean and clear on his tongue like a fresh spring. It brought some relief to the scalding poison that infected him through his previous toxic lies. Mr. Stark’s forehead seemed to crease as he mentally crossed possibilities off the list in his head. Peter was watching curiously until Tony’s eyes narrowed. A shot of apprehension tearing through Peter and down his spine. No. He didn’t know. He couldn’t.
           Did he?
           “When was the last time you ate?” Peter’s skin pale, blood rushing out as his skin turned nearly white as he registered the question. Nothing. He hadn’t eaten since school lunch yesterday. He’d missed lunch today by accident, he’d fallen asleep in the chemistry lab after class. Hadn’t he collapsed then too? It was fuzzy, all Peter remembered was rushing to get to his next class on time. Not knowing how long he’d been passed out. Shit. He couldn’t tell Mr. Stark that.
           “Uh… yesterday…” Mr. Stark’s gaze turned into a sharp reprimanding glare as Peter scrambled for an excuse. Nearly choking before he was able to fluidly speak again. The explanation leaving his lips as if it were nothing more than just words. “I didn’t mean to! I’ve just been studying non-stop for this physics exam today that was worth half our semester grade and it was right after lunch and I skipped so I could study and I woke up late today because I tried to pull an all-nighter which really didn’t work and I didn’t want to be late to class so I skipped breakfast cause I thought I was going to eat lunch and really I just was so nervous that eating got really hard and it was all super crazy.” Mr. Stark cut off his word vomit with a single look.
           “So, basically, you’re a stupid nerd that doesn’t know how to take care of yourself. God kid, you scared me when you took a swan dive to the floor. You can’t skip meals with your metabolism, it’s dangerous and god knows what could happen. What if you passed out while you we swinging around the city? We’d have a flat spider-man, a flat spider man is not something we want alright?” Tony shook his head, but didn’t look angry. Honestly, he looked more relaxed and relieved than angry. Probably was glad it wasn’t anything serious wrong. Or, unfixable. “I got Thai and soda in the kitchen, that should help your blood sugar. C’mon. Let’s get you up.”
           Peter scrambled to obey, swooning and having to lean a good deal of his weight on Tony. Who didn’t seem to even stumble under the teen’s weight, rather it was easy for him to help the lanky male along to the kitchen and sat him down. Shoving a soda into his hand with a gruff order to chug it. Which Peter obliged happily, it was sticky and sweet bubbling on his tongue with a pleasant familiarity. Peter never used to crave soda, he and Aunt May had it a lot so it was just another drink. But god, he had missed it so much. It had almost been like withdrawals going without it for three days. Easy enough to say he downed the whole bottle pretty quickly. Even without Mr. Stark’s directions of drinking it all before he ate. Tony staring intently as Peter filled his plate to make sure Peter didn’t pull his usual stunt on eating less out of embarrassment. (If anyone thought Tony didn’t notice how the kid could go from eating nearly a whole pizza by himself to eating only three slices and claiming he was full in front of people. They were stupid. He noticed fully well. And hated it.) Though, he was satisfied as Peter seemed too hungry to really give much mind to the insanity that was his enhanced metabolism and bottomless pit of a teenage boy’s stomach.
           The image of Peter falling limp to the floor like a ragdoll was still burned into his memories however. Replaying over and over again and harassing him. The picture was almost paralyzing, even after he’d sorted it out it was just Peter skipping a meal because he was anxious for a test. The knowledge did nothing. Peter’s body on the ground still and quiet scared him. It was like a slap to the face. The worry. The fact that even the thought of something being wrong with Peter had sent a terrified feeling being dumped like ice water into his veins. Adrenaline pumping to prove just how fast he could-would- run to catch the boy.
           Tony had to wonder if this was how parents felt every day. Even at fifteen with inhuman abilities and a multi-million-dollar suit with more system checks that Tony even had for himself he still had this constant gnawing concern and terror that only kept growing. Worse was that Tony was never getting used to it. And not minding it. Tony immediately gave Clint more props in his mind. Clint had little children. Tony had a teenager that was basically independent.
           Still, even seeing Peter wolf down Thai food like it was oxygen wasn’t easing the twitching anxiety. Peter in his arms, dead still and so pale in his arms. Nearly unresponsive for nearly ten minutes. It hit a little too close to home in Tony’s own insecurities and worries. That’s probably why the words left his lips before he could even stop them.
           “Peter, do you mind staying over night? We didn’t get to finish the upgrades and you look pretty dead on your feet. We can finish working on it tomorrow morning. Not to mention, I don’t even have a clue where Happy is and you can’t legally drive.” Peter looked at him curiously with those wide blue eyes and paused, Tony felt awkward and nervous all of the sudden, but hid it with a quirked brow and questioning gaze. Fake it ‘til you make it. The nervous dispelled immediately however as soon as Peter nodded thoughtfully.
           “It’s Friday so I should be fine. I just have to call and let May know where I’m staying, is that alright?” The overwhelming relief almost took Tony by surprise; he’d expected it to be a little more difficult to convince Peter to stay. He’d always insisted on being home with May. But Tony didn’t give that much mind as he just thanked whatever deity existed that he could keep on Peter for the night and make sure he was really alright. The thought was more comforting than Tony had even thought it could be. Besides, it wasn’t like Tony didn’t like when Peter stayed over. He actually enjoyed it a lot. Peter was smart, independent, he impressed Tony on almost a daily basis, and yet he still made Tony feel like he was needed. Human.
           Peter excused himself quickly, grabbing his phone from the counter space and dialing the number as he walked. The sinking feeling that Peter had braced for never came when he got sent to voice mail. Excitement was crowding out the rejection and loneliness. Mr. Stark invited him to stay at the Stark Tower. The Stark Tower. A science paradise. Nothing was stopping or choking him up as he excitedly rambled his message. It felt so, normal. Casual. Peter could almost believe it was just another day. That May was waiting for him to come for a movie night and Peter was just calling her to let her know he was staying at the tower and that he was safe.
           “Hey May, it’s Peter. Mr. Stark and I didn’t get to finish the project after all. But it was still really fun! We had Thai food and soda, and we started debating about my concept idea for energy conservation! Anyway, he offered to let me stay at the tower since its getting late and I was just calling you to let you know that I’m safe. Call me back when you can? Night May, love you.” Peter hung up the phone and walked back to the kitchen. Giving Mr. Stark a thumb’s up and the okay as he dropped his phone careless on the island. All the bad feelings forgotten with a full stomach and warm company as Peter and Tony fit themselves back into heated banter and shooting back and forth theories while poking holes in existing ones. The other finding satisfaction in finally finding someone that could keep up with the pace (Besides Bruce, but he was back at the lab in the compound). Before either of them even realized it evening had passed to give way into a deep night. Tony only noticing because of the fact even though Peter’s mouth was still running like a motor his eyes were sluggishly beginning to droop until eventually Tony finally didn’t get a reply when his back was turned. Looking and seeing Peter slumped on the table. Soft even breath leaving in quiet puffs and sighs from Peter’s mouth, making the teen’s back rise and fall in a steady rhythm. Tony rolled his eyes.
           If only he could fall asleep as fast as Peter. Tony dread the day when the inevitable would catch up to the teen. The horrors of being a hero. The twisted nightmares and terrors that would slowly corrupt the child like innocence Peter had. That black and white view of morality and justice. The excitement and awe that Peter still had when he looked at the simplest of things, when he was showed the simplest forms of kindness. Tony still remembered how Peter had almost burst into tears of happiness when Tony had simple bought him a new jacket. Peter had mentioned funds were tight in his house and his was nearly in shreds. A simple jacket. Something Tony had thirty of, and Peter nearly cried at being gifted one.
           Tony would protect that side of Peter with his life for as long as he could. Keep and bat the corruption away with his last breath if he had to. Anything to not see anything but happy tears in his kid’s eyes.
           He was just a kid.
           Kids shouldn’t be awake at night afraid of the ghosts in the past.
           Moving slowly and as quietly as he could-Peter was extremely sensitive in more than just the emotional sense, Tony’s breathing had even woken him up one time- But that wasn’t the case this time as Tony was able to adjust and manipulate the teen’s body easily into a solid grip. Carrying Peter like a child. It was mildly concerning when the light sleeper barely even shifted from all the jostling.
           Kid probably had a rough day.
           Tony held the kid tighter in his arm’s, not even straining under the weight. Peter had always been a little smaller than the rest. A little scrawnier, a little more lanky and skinny. But the kid more than made up for it in a personality much bigger than his body and a brain bigger than his skull. It wasn’t quite what you’d expect of a super hero, but Peter made it work. Being witty and agile with a deceiving strength. Tony could also appreciate it in times like this when it made helping Peter even just a little easier. Even a help as simple as tucking Peter into his impromptu room at the tower (Which would be customized as soon as Tony could get a hold of Pepper for a weekend-what did teenagers need in their rooms anyway?-he’d have to wing it).
           A plain bed was good enough for now however. Even if the sheer size of their bed practically swallowed Peter’s small frame, making him look even tinier in comparison. More vulnerable. It made Tony’s chest ache. If only he could shield Peter forever. He didn’t deserve to hurt or worry so much. Or beat himself up all the time over little things or blame himself so often. Peter needed to be softer on himself and stop pushing himself so hard.
           Shame Tony didn’t already know it was too late to shield him.
---
           It was crushing, his lungs felt like they were being caved in as the rubble pressed down hard on him. The pebbles digging into his back painfully, each breath only resulting in agony. And it only got worse each time his mouth let out a cry for help. Each cry also brought another tidal wave of dread and hopelessness to wash over him.
           No one would save him.
           No one cared enough to.
           His back stung and felt raw, blood dripping down. Then it was gone. The dig of pebbles and metal beams jabbing into his ribs. Though Peter wasn’t sure if he was surprised or not as it did little difference. The rubble lifting, yet the pain remaining, only burning with more intensity and anguish. The crushing didn’t end. The pain didn’t stop. It never did.
           Hopeless.
           The hurt never stopped, never would. It only got worse. Everything was so loud, even the beats of silence rang deafeningly in his ears. Screaming hurt. Crying hurt. Trying to get up hurt. Everything hurt and there was no end in sight.
           His eyes burned as he choked out another cry. The taste of dust and debris still weighing heavily in his mouth as he whimpered. “Mama!!! Ben! May! Papa!” Nothing stirred, not even the air. It was like he’d said nothing at all. There was nothing but never-ending dark. So quiet. So cold. Lonely. “May! Please!”
           “You killed my husband my wife, Peter. You tore this family apart.” The voice warbled between May’s low and disapproving tone and a deep accusing voice. It was familiar and venomous, with a gravelly and growling undertone that sent shudders down Peter’s aching spine. His heart stuttering and skipped. An uncontrollable sob ripped through Peter’s mouth, his body convulsing as he wept. Trembling in fear.
           “I’m sorry papa, I won’t be bad anymore. Please. I’m so sorry. It hurts make it stop. I’m sorry.” A voice picked up in pitch. The voice leaving his throat still cracked. The young voice sounded terrified and sad. Peter didn’t even recognize it as his own at first. Looking wildly around to see if someone needed help. Before realizing the only one that needed help was himself.
           “It’s your fault Peter! Admit it! You don’t help anyone. You did nothing. You couldn’t even stay out of the way. She’s dead! And it’s your fault.” A foot came down, a heavy boot crunching down onto the curve of his back, where a beam once had weighed heavily. He screamed.  The sound was damaging to his enhanced hearing, but there was nothing to be done about it as the sound didn’t cease. His mouth wouldn’t close or silence. So he ignored it, tuning out the screams and the aching in his throat. He was bleeding. It hurt. He was guilty. It hurt. Innocent people didn’t hurt like this.
           “It’s my fault papa. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I’m sorry.” He sobbed, but the feeling didn’t cease. The overwhelming feeling and suffocation only got worse. Ribs splintering and stabbing his lungs over again with fresh pain. Bones shattering into dust. He felt helpless, like he was a child again. No powers. No strength. No hope.
           He was choking on invisible debris now. Throat and tongue dry and constantly inhaling chalking dust. Everywhere hurt. Lashes marks and injuries peeling open and forcing his skin open agonizingly from an unseen weapon. And Peter could only whimper. He was doomed. He was dying. Drowning. Suffocating. And there was nothing he could do. He would just die. Just like he deserved.
           It was his fault.

Suggesting an Original Character
Description:
Anyone else got anymore suggestions? I’m all ears.
Hello, I’ve written a concept for an original character that involves belching on my Writing.com interactive: Belching Girls: Multi-Media (Vore & WG). If you want to add more O.C.s or other chapters over there, then please do so, because any help would be appreciated.
Belching Girls: Multi-Media (Vore & WG)
Backstory: As the daughter of industrial moguls Duncan Connor and María Bacch (Named after the Bacchus, the Roman god of Wine), 17-year-old Becky Bacch was born to inherit their Multi-Billion-Dollar Soda-and-Beer company called Popsi-Cola Inc. Through an amalgamation of sharp business savvy and inept competition, the likes of Budweiser and Pepsi were crushed and absorbed into the ever-expanding global empire. Many countries, including the United States of America lowered their drinking age to 16, a change likely brought upon by the sheer influence of the corporation, or secret bribes and an addictive product, according to whatever barely-surviving opposition would say. However, even with all of the wealth in the world, Becky still felt unfulfilled. Maybe it was out of disappointment that she was given everything through the success of her parents and not herself. Or it was having little social contact, again due to her folks, leaving her to spend her free time by reading books, helping develop new kinds of successful beverages, or engaging in more juvenile activities like belching. Regardless, the girl was struggling to find a purpose to her existence outside of being an heiress, until she got a crazy idea.
One night, she loaded an old backpack with several cans of experimental drinks and sneaked out of the mansion to mark the debut of the Earth’s newest hero: Soda Jerk! Flying across the streets in a full body black jumpsuit and mask with gray boots and gloves, it didn’t take long for Becky to find her first crime to thwart in the form of a classic bank robbery. The crooks were loading their score into a getaway van when a deafening sonic blast that sounded suspiciously like a belch erupted from the nearby alley, knocking the van over and shattering every panel of glass around the block. Though disoriented, the criminals retaliated by firing off several rounds from their handguns into the alley. However, there were no sounds of bullets drilling through flesh and bone, nor the thud of a corpse that had collapsed onto the cold hard ground. The villainous trio gave each other a confused look, but before they could tell what happened, a black blur rushed past them and one of them fell to the pavement unconscious. The remaining two tightened the grip on their guns when they saw it, but another blur dashed at them, too fast for the human eye to see, and before they knew it, another man was down. Now the final gang member was scared, wonder what exactly they were dealing with here. His question was answered by a light hop to the left side of the neck, leaving him to drop face-first on to the concrete.
Satisfied with her work, Soda Jerk returned the money and restrained the thugs until the police arrived before returning home. Contrary to her expectations, she was not alone when she made it back, seeing her mom and dad waiting in her room and wanting an explanation. After a rundown of the nights events and Becky’s reasons for her actions, Duncan and María were filled with remorse over what they’e done and eventually agreed to allow Becky to continue her escapades, provided she wear more protection, balances this duty with the rest of her life, and explain how she created her unique brands of soda.
Personality: Though she appears to be the stereotypical bookworm, in actuality, she’s… well, that much about her is true, but it’s far from the only defining trait about her. In addition to reading up on latest technological breakthroughs (and even having contributed to some of them), she’s also a straight-A+ student and is disarmingly prideful about her intellect. Bravery is also a apt adjective to describe her, as she is willing to lay down her life for another at a moment, whatever obstacle that might prevent her from doing so be damned. However, her impulsive and stubborn nature is also a weakness that she has yet to overcome, as both have lead to her blindly charging at the enemy and not stooping until they fall, which has often resulted in several close calls, much to the fear of her parents. Above all though, it is her infinite capacity for good that is her most treasured trait for that was largely what drove her into a life of heroics, but even someone as nice as her can be pushed to far, just ask those tried to manipulate her. Her habits are eating, drinking, and burping frequently-a consequence for anyone with a diet of soda and alcohol-among other things.
Appearance: Becky towers over most girls her age with a height of 6’0” and a weight of 214 pounds, though much of that is muscle grown from her rigorous physical training. Her red hair is styled as a bob cut, her irises are a lush clover shade, and her skin color perfectly matches her mother’s light tan. Spots of freckles dot her cheeks, further showing her father dominating genetic influence.
Miscellaneous Information:
Morality: Chaotic Good (Willing to break the rules to do the right thing).
Nationality: Born and Raised in the United States of America.
Powers and Abilities: Skilled in hand-to-hand combat and surprisingly athletic, but cannot utilize any superpowers on her own.
Weapons, Gadgets, and Technology: Drinks various sodas which give her different powers. 1 Flying Fizz: Fills her belly with gas akin to helium, allowing her to fly for as long as the gas remains in her body, though it can be burped out. 2 Rushing Raspberry: Raises her blood sugar to levels that would kill any other human being, but somehow Becky’s body reacts differently, as it increases her reflexes and movement speed to hypersonic levels, though she rarely goes this fast in populated areas. It also boosts her metabolism, which ironically makes it so that the affects of this soda last the shortest. 3 Belching Blueberry: Just one sip sends enough supercarbonated gas into the stomach that letting it out as a burp would destroy a two-story building, but if forced into a situation where no other options present themselves, Becky can chug the whole thing in less that a minute and cut belches that would individually destroy an entire city.
Reply if you like the character, or at least the idea of the character. You may use this character in a story of your own if you want, just give me credit. Please leave any suggestions for how this character could be improved and any ideas for more original characters.
HicBurpLover22: First of all, I would just like to mention that I’ve seen your work way back in the past with Libby as burp girl and I really liked those fics, and that I am willing to help you out with any ideas that this fic may have to offer. I don’t need credit and I’ve helped other writers before although I don’t write myself (Though I might plan to if I have a lot of spare time soon) So anyways, I would like to know what could be your overall plot. Sure you essentially just explained Becky’s origin story but what would the focus be. Is it primarily going to be good vs. evil or will you have something else like romance or drama involved? For other characters, I was thinking that for maybe for a romantic partner or as a partner in general, have Becky find out about a male hacker who has hacked into Popsi Cola inc. and has all of this information about the experimental sodas that Becky has made and even the identity of Soda Jerk. The hacker (let’s call him Jack for now) threatens the company that he will leak all of this information on the internet unless he talks to Soda Jerk herself. Becky having no choice decides to meet Jack at his base (which could be hidden in a shady part of town or something). Jack reveals himself to not be a villain, he wasn’t going to leak anything in the first place, but he needed to make an alliance with Soda Jerk to stop an incoming terrorist attack. Becky complies with Jack and also confirms her identity with him, and now we have a duo. Jack doesn’t have a burping fetish but he begins to get it by being around Becky as they soon fall in love with each other or become good friends. Jack doesn’t necessarily fights in direct combat but he can hack stuff easily and he has a nice assortment of gadgets that he can use in self-defense and maybe he gives some for Soda Jerk. It’s up to you if you want to go with this, this is just my idea after all, not yours. I also have no idea what the terrorist group ambitions would be, and I don’t have an idea for what another female character could be if you wanted one. We can work on Jack’s (if that’s what we want to call him) personality later if you want to use him. Also, for my final note, I really like hiccups and since beer often causes hiccups… it would be pretty sweet if somebody gets the hiccups at somepoint.
UPDATE: HicBurpLover22, your ideas sound fantastic. I’ll admit that I hate romance and am not very good at writing it. The focus of the overall plot would be a general good vs. evil conflict with some doses of drama. I might place in some comedy, and some of it will involve her burping, but I’ll try to use different types of humor so it won’t get stale. As for a partner, I like your idea of a male hacker named Jack who starts off as a friend of Becky’s but may slowly foster some hidden romantic interest in her, or at least a sexual one revolving around her beautiful belching abilities. He would have little to no combat experience/training/skills and powers, though he would have a secret lair beneath a virtually abandoned district of the town (which I have decided to call Bloodstone City, California). Soda Jerk explains the situation about the 16 year old Jack to her parents and they eventually agree to not press charges against him and even hire him for his technological prowess, but warn him to not cross their company and especially their daughter. Now Jack can work as a ‘Lucius Fox-type’ figure who helps outfit Soda Jerk with various gadgets and weapons to help take down the terrorist organization, whose name could be the Chaos Corps, a group of anarchists who desire to break down the oppressive governments of the world so that the common man can shape their own destinies without any legal or ethical boundaries, and they’re mainly stationed in Bloodstone. Jack’s parents, a pair of ex-spies named Elise and Victor Jace, were abducted by the villainous syndicate for their classified information that could jeopardize national security. The Corps uses various methods of physical, mental, and emotional torture to get their captives to cooperate with them. Understandably, Jack wants to free them, so a team up with the city’s big hero was necessary. On a final note, yes Becky will get the hiccups at some point in the story.
Additionally, I was thinking of there being other heroes in the world, many of them female. Like Angie Cinder A.K.A. Hothead, an 18 year old middle-class Japanese-immigrant, bestowed with pyrokinetic abilities having an equally-hot passion for preserving the law in her current home of Sydney, Australia. She’s a “Lawful Good” kind of crusader, more often than not working alongside the local law enforcement to thwart crime. Cinder was given an Americanized name to better fit in with the populace, her original name being Aguni Shindera (named after the Vedic god of fire who gave her powers and the Japanese word for ‘cinder’) and had been working as a super hero with a public identity a full 4 years before Soda Jerk. She possesses an average intelligence and though she doesn’t know martial arts, Angie does have some degree of fighting skills due to her training at the police academy. She’s aware of Soda Jerk and while Hothead thinks she could learn to work within the confines of the law more effectively, overall she’s tolerant of the powerless powerhouse. However, Cinder is interested in her burping skills, as despite her feminine personality, she finds a guilty pleasure in releasing putrid gas, especially when mixed with her fire powers and after a private binge of spicy food. It’s almost a shame that Soda Jerk is heterosexual, as opposed to Angie’s homosexuality.
There’s also Wendy Ares A.K.A. Airhead, a 15 year old Egyptian-South African girl living as a fighting instructor in Berlin, Germany. Her name is a pun on the words ‘Windy Airs’. She is descended from an ancient tribe of Areokinetic warriors sworn to defend the innocent and punish the vile and uses her inhuman abilities to blow away her enemies. She decided to play hero one day, when a group of thugs tried to mug one of her students, only to have their breath nearly taken away for good. No one could trace the incident back to her, which suited her just fine, as she doesn’t like the spotlight. She takes a ‘Neutral Good’ approach to her actions, taking caution not to cause needless destruction and not being obsessed with every small detail working perfectly. Wendy is a master of every fighting style in the history of the world and uses it in conjunction with her air powers to stomp out criminal scum. She values stealth greatly, to the point where her alter ego’s existence is widely considered a myth by the planet and the other heroes. Airhead doesn’t know what to make of Soda Jerk or Hothead, thinking that they each have a poor balance between order and chaos in opposite directions, but ultimately respecting their intentions. In terms of burping, she’s largely indifferent to it, not being tomboyish enough to enjoy it or girly enough to hate it, though her wind powers can easily turn her eructations into hundred mile per hour gales that can flatten cities if she so chose. Also, she prefers both males and females.
Lastly, there is Gladys Gordon Garcias A.K.A. Glutton Girl, a 19 year old Brazilian-Mexican woman kidnapped and experimented on by a small faction of the Chaos Corps in Argentina. The terrorists were fiddling with chemical meant to affect a person’s physicality, hoping to create a breed of super-soldiers, and altered Gladys’s body. As a result, she acquired the ability to unhinge her jaw, consume objects larger than herself, enhanced senses of taste, hearing, and smell, complete control over her digestive process and an superhuman appetite. The Corps tested the new powers by force feeding Garcias her own family. Her 10 year old sister Maria and her mother Lucia were shoved down Gladys’s throat and in a panic, were accidentally digested. Gladys was reduced to a sobbing wreck, having lost the most important people in the world to her. But that sorrow was replaced by anger, as the super strength given to her by the tests allowed her to break out of containment and feast on the startled terrorists. A think, monstrous belch shattered the windows of the base and echoed into the jungle for several kilometers, signifying the end of the meal. Now alone, Gladys escaped into the night, eventually turning up as a street rat struggling to survive. She decided to exact revenge on the people who hurt her so much by going on a crusade to snack on every last member, as well as any thug who gets in her way. Her moral alignment sits at the ‘Neutral’ area, wanting to crush evil, but not all that motivated to help people whom she doesn’t know. Gladys is an anonymous eating machine, virtually nonexistent to the other heroes, whom Gladys finds are not doing enough regarding the Chaos Corps and are too focused dealing with lesser crimes. She can get very gassy after a meal of a few dozen low lives littering the streets, sporting a face of disgust as her epic eructations roar across the sky. Also, the woman is asexual.
This is what I’ve got so far. If you have any suggestions, then let me know.
HicBurpLover22: Thanks for all the feedback dude, glad to be of help in some way.
You nailed how I envisioned Jack to be, and don’t worry if romantic writing isn’t quite your thing, just do what feels right for you. A lot of the humor can be from banter between Jack and Becky. Jack can also be a bit of a gamer, so we can have game references. I can imagine Jack being distracted by playing videogames in the middle of a mission and Becky being a bit annoyed by that. If you are going to go with the gamer idea, then we can have it so that Becky bonds with Jack by starting to get into the habit of playing videogames with him (she hardly plays them) and Jack bonding with Becky by understanding why she decided to become a hero and seeing her have fun with her burps. Also, Becky could get the hiccups by downing a soda too quickly in the middle of a stealth mission revealing her position to everyone forcing her to fight her way out, or Becky has a soda that gives her a random elemental effect every time she hiccups.
Bloodstone City sounds like a very cool place to live not gonna lie, and you could probably make other major cities in this world be named after other gemstones or minerals, for example Diamond City, Topaz City, Ruby City etc. and the Chaos Corps sounds like one serious threat. I have one other idea for them but let me quickly go over your characters.
I really like the idea of there being more heroes, but not directly associated with Soda Jerk. It kinda reminds me of Street Fighter or even Overwatch by having all of these characters from different parts of the world each with different goals and ambitions. They each have their own path but overall just want to get rid of evil.
Hothead can kinda be the Tsundere archetype of the girls, she may be hot but can give people the cold shoulder she meets at first. She can be highly competitive and always wants to keep her pride up. Spicy food is also known to cause hiccups, but I think I’m pushing it too far with the hiccups at this point heh.
For Airhead, maybe she wants to befriend some guy but is too shy to even talk to him or even be near him. She also doesn’t want him to be in dander and involved in her dangerous missions because he doesn’t have any powers. She also wonders what this guy would even think of her.
The start to Glutton Girl’s story could be her binging in WcDonalds (the equivalent of McDonalds in this world) while she thinks on what to do next, meanwhile people are just staring at her in awe as she eats a lunch for 10 or some other ludicrous number as she emits a belch that threatens to destroy the restaurant.
These are just random ideas that I’ve come up with really quick, but here is what I got for a potential villain.
Dr. Wilhelm is the boss of Chaos Corp, he is an evil scientist with a very monotone voice. He never reveals his past to anyone but he was once a prestigious scientist by the name of Dr. Maxis bringing the future of tomorrow years early, but his experiments soon grew to be too dark so the government shut him down. Now his motives are world domination, destruction and revenge. He is so cold-hearted that he even weaponize her own daughter. I’m gonna let you name her since you do WAY better with names than I do. She is now a ruthless killing machine, her memories are being held by her father and she is constantly being powered up by a special soda that Wilhelm has made himself, giving her the abilities of super strength, the ability to shape shift her hands and feet into weapons, and of course destructive burping. The soda is being injected through her by little pipes coming in and out of her mouth, I don’t know how there is an endless amount but… science. She always has a very quiet case of the hiccups, the ones that only jerk her body slightly, but if you happened to hear a single “hic”, it’s over, expect yourself to be killed by her, no problemo. Essentially, she is a zombie but the real her can still be in there, fighting for freedom.
Let me know what you think.
UPDATE 2: Again, you’ve come up with some great ideas. I imagined both Becky and Jack to be very witty since they are both teenagers, so the would have a good back and forth & Jack will be a gamer, while Becky is a noob who tries getting into it. Meanwhile, Jack becomes more attracted to Becky’s belching. It would be funny to see Becky get caught by hiccuping and the new elemental hiccup soda (which I’ll call Hiccuping Honey) sounds great. Becky has been Soda Jerk for six months.
I may create more cities named after minerals if I feel like it. The Chaos Corps plays a role similar to HYDRA from Marvel, but on a smaller scale. The story takes place in 2017, but the Chaos has been around for about 25 years.
The assorted heroes of the world are current scattered, but they may crossover at some point, probably in response to an attack by the Chaos Corps, similar to the Avengers.
Hothead does get hiccups from Spicy food, as well as burps, and is prideful and competitive. Though she’s respected by the police, she doen’t have many friends, focusing more on her work and being paid for it.
Though Airhead is very devoted to her clan, she also wants to experience things that a typical girl would. However, she keeps her desire to men, as people still have trouble accepting the LGBT community and her special upbringing robbed her of social skills, so Wendy acts very awkwardly around her crush, James Jaxson. Aires has been in action for two years now.
Glutton Girl spends much of her time gorging at various restaurants and hotels, being able to afford such luxuries by hoarding the money from her criminal victims. The owners of the establishments have gotten use to her presence and are afraid that she might eat them out of business. She has been on the hunt for the Chaos Corps for one year.
Chaos Corps leader, Dr. Carl Wilhelm will be the main antagonist to these heroes. He is 50 years old and his daughter, Marsha is considered by him to be the ‘Ultimate Life Form’, due to her powers. She is twenty years old and got her abilities three years ago and has been an operative for the Chaos Corps for just as long. Countless innocents were butchered by the living weapon, some for strategic purposes , but mostly out of pure sadism. Marsha herself is an emotionless girl, pretty much the ‘Winter Soldier’ of the group. She is bulletroof, has perfect mastery over every form of combat and weaponry on Earth, can weaponize any object, and has above human physicality. The Doctor from New Zealand created the power-inducing soda in a similar way to how Becky created her’s. Marsha Wilhelm is codenamed, Chaos Queen, and is a 'Neutral’ character being forced into a 'Chaotic Evil’ role, though hopefully, the remains of her former self buried deep within her can find a way to break free…
Also, JWAPPEL suggested on Deviantart another character 13 hours ago:
Catherine “Conquer” Jones. She’s tiny at 5'4 and the girliest of the girly girls fro constantly dressing in pink and glitter to being obsessed with shoes. Challenge her to anything however and watch her pwn you, especially burping contests.
HicBurpLover22: Awesome, all of this seems really great. I honestly don’t know any other ideas for this at this point, but I will probably message you if anything comes to mind. Also my apologies, I thought you wrote fanfics for Libby as burp girl from that one episode way, way, WAY back in the past, but then I remember that you were the one who uploaded the clip on YouTube, I must have been thinking of someone else or something… But I still like your other work, don’t get me wrong.
Also, when I look through your DeviantArt favorites I can’t help but notice that you are into farts as well. I only just recently got into farts and I wouldn’t be opposed if there was a farting scene as well in this series. Becky’s farts are completely normal and not super powered, so I can imagine a funny scene where she prepares for a large burp to strike an enemy but the burp comes out the other end as a normal fart.
Hothead might have spicy fiery farts that can propel her like a rocket. Airhead doesn’t fart as it may be too dangerous because of her powers. Glutton Girl can have the most foul farts and burps that she can channel, especially after a Brazilian-Mexican feast with beans.
UPDATE 3: Interesting. The girls farting could be funny, so I may include it.
HicBurpLover22: Any other updates on Soda Jerk?
UPDATE 4: Not yet, but there might be more non-superhero-themed characters appearing in the story.
HicBurpLover22: Ah, so like a anti-hero or a bounty hunter?
UPDATE 5: It would be a bounty hunter, named Juliet Winters, a British gun for hire who makes a living bringing in/killing criminals to collect the price on their heads. She is indifferent to the other heroes, but is interested in the Chaos Corps, if only because of how much money she could get by taking them down.
HicBurpLover22: Sounds pretty good. Maybe she has some royal blood but isn’t interested at all at doing her family traditions. She is very polite to her payers, and she never let’s them down. She also pays some respect to the person she needs to kill for the bounty, saying something like “sorry for killing you but business is business.” Her attire could be like a fancy coat that can shoot ice shards, but she is never without her trusty sniper rifle.
UPDATE 6: Sounds cool. Any other ideas?
HicBurpLover22: I’m not quite sure… maybe she doesn’t like burping but she’s naturally pretty gassy. She apologizes a lot whenever she does burp in front of someone, and tries her best to keep her belches in or at least let them out quietly as closed mouth-burps.
UPDATE 7: Nice. I’ll see if JWAPPEL has something more to offer.
Hey, so HicBurpLover22 and I were discussing new original characters and I wanted to see if you had something more to offer.
JWAPPEL: I’ll see what I can come up with and Yes. Catherine’s body actually adapts to challenges, meaning her belly expands for competive eating, she undergoes muscle growth for strength contests, etc. It’s this way because her family is quite rich and scientists hired by her parents were paid to experiment with her and make it this way. What do you think?
UPDATE 8: Sounds good.
So, anyone else out there who is interested in this stuff please let me know if you have any ideas for characters and/or settings.

So I went and visited the firehouse today
Okay so you know how I was going to make cookies for the firefighters and drop them off at the fire station and I was also really nervous about it??? Okay so I drove to the fire station, right and I go up to the door, and one of the guys was already opening the door for me and he was like “hey what’s up?” and I of course at that point lost my ability to speak properly, so in a jumbled mess of words I managed to get out that I drove past the firehouse every day on my way to and from school and I thought about them all the time and “I WANTED TO, TO MAKE Y’ALL SOME COOKIES SO I DID” I said really eloquently as I shoved the foil-covered plate of cookies at him, hoping the meaning would be self-evident.
Then he was like “oh, cool, thanks!” and asked if I wanted to come inside and look around and I was like “Uh, yeah! if that’s not too much extra effort or anything” while in my head I was screaming “KATIE YOU IDIOT YOU’RE JUST BEING A BOTHER WHY DID YOU SAY THAT” and then at that point I told my brain to shut up and when I stepped through that door oh dear lordy my day was changed forever.
The first thing I hear is “OH NO, PORTABELLO DOWN, PORTABELLO DOWN, mayday on the mushroom” and there is a grown man diving halfway into the kitchen sink
As soon as the others see me I am hit by a loud wall of “HEYYYY!!!!” yelling rushing at me like a tsunami. I am momentarily disoriented.
“This is Katie, she brought us cookies!” someone says. “OH MAN,” someone else yells. “those are going to be GREAT post-dinner, after we make this pot roast!”
there is a LOUD snort-laugh in front of me, and another firefighter goes “these are going to be great PRE-LUNCH” and then he complimented me on my pink hair.
Their fire chief came in, off-duty, in a “STRAIGHT OUTTA CALIFORNIA” hoodie carrying a sack of fresh greasy fast-food burger all for himself. I learn that the man has a personal vendetta against garlic and also that one of the firefighters accidentally almost killed him with scrambled eggs once. I am not sure what is going on any more.
They are just non-stop bantering. Non-stop. One is cutting mushrooms, he says he’s always nervous he’s gonna chop a finger off, and then a minute later he goes “OW!! I’m good, I’m good, I’m fine–” and another one says “he always cuts himself. every time. he’s on ambulance rig today, better take care of his own dumb hand,” and the first guy throws a slice of mushroom at him
Suddenly one of them is carrying two glasses of vivid emerald green liquid across the room, and sets one down in front of the chief. “made with ALL fake sugar,” he says, and I’m eyeing the glasses trying to process what in the world that could be. Not soda. Not alcohol, right? No…it couldn’t be…Kool-Aid?? Is that–
“That’s great, except this is ONLY ONE PACKET OF KOOL-AID” the fire chief bellows. I feel like I might need to sit down.
They’re drinking their emerald green Kool-Aid with gusto. They’re yelling.
 “DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND REAL KOOL-AID AROUND HERE??” the firefighter hollers back. 
(Sadly, I do not know. I can’t think at the moment, I’m still stuck on the fact that these grown adult firefighter men are chugging Kool-Aid all with very strong opinions on how it should be properly made, right in front of me. I can’t believe I’m seeing this with my own two eyes.)
“OH SHIT,” one of them yells after someone jokingly talked smack. “Sorry. We got company, we need to be on our best behavior”
“DAMN STRAIGHT” the fire chief shouts back. I am laughing very hard.
There is a BIG-ASS PITCHER OF KOOL-AID ON THE COUNTER. I’m talking like THREE GALLONS. I cannot believe it
I want that pitcher.
“He is the dumbest smart person I have ever met. He’s really, really smart. That’s why he’s also so completely dumb.”
There is incoherent yelling from across the counter. As one firefighter was skillfully cooking meat in a skillet for pot roast, another has just burned the frozen pizza. He tries to dump seasoning and Parmesan cheese on it to compensate.
“So you gonna be an astronaut?” the mushroom-cutting one asks. “’Cause that would be awesome.”
“Have you ever tried putting Steakburger seasoning on pizza?” I ask. “Kid,” he snorts as he looks me straight in the eyes, “we’ve put just about everything you could possibly put on pizza here.”
“Excuse me, there’s gonna be some strong language here for a moment,” the polite one says to me, before turning back to the youngest fireman.  “WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOUR SKINNY ASS SELF MADE A MEAL FOR THIS STATION? I DON’T REMEMBER YOU TAKING YOUR SKINNY LITTLE ASS DOWN TO THE GROCERY STORE TO GET ANY FOOD”  “I helped last week!!!! I cut your peppers and vegetables AND put them all together in the bowl!!!”  “OOH, HE CUT UP THE VEGETABLES”  another one yells, “THAT DOESN’T COUNT!”
Someone takes a jab at someone else from another fire company. There’s one second of silence, and then a collective “oOOOHHHHHHHHHH”
The burnt pizza is still being ravenously consumed, along with the green Kool-Aid. Can I live here with you? I wonder.
Another younger firefighter kind of slouches in in his gym shorts and a department t-shirt, looking like he just woke up. He walks straight over to a cabinet and gets out a giant Costco jar of peanut butter, pulls out a serving spoon, takes a scoop of peanut butter ¼ the size of his entire head, and eats it. I like his style.
Yesterday, they went to get one of the vehicles fixed and pick up Jimmy Johns. They got the vehicle fixed, but when they drove it around the corner, suddenly there was smoke and then there was a bunch of oil on the ground, and then long story short, they never got the Jimmy Johns. There is a wistful look in their eyes as they tell this story. I know they still mourn and long for that lost Jimmy Johns.
