You woke to the sound of humming from your kitchen, and the smell of cooking food. With a groan you grasped your throbbing head. The pain was so immense that you began to cry.
When you composed yourself well enough to peer at who your intruder was you were taken aback by the sight.
Tossed over the back of your couch was the very tan jacket that Red Hood always wore, and when you looked into the kitchen you were met with the sight of that very man, cooking.
A little more than shocked you stared in awe at the muscles that rippled across his back as he moved around. Who knew spandex was that see through?
Finally you muster up the will to speak. "Why are you in my kitchen?"
When he peeked over his shoulder at you, his mask was still on. Not very surprising, but you didn't know what you expected.
"I'm making sure someone takes care of your hangover." He muses.
Very funny considering how many hangovers you'd gotten through without his help.
Slowly, you get to your feet and shuffle your way into the kitchen.
Red Hood looks over occasionally at what you're doing but stays quiet. You appreciate it, with that hammer chipping away inside your skull beginning to rage.
"Ahw, god." You murmur under your breath as you pop open a bottle of Tylenol.
Chasing the pill with water you place the glass back down on the counter only to realize how clean your apartment looks. Furrowing your brows you look back over at the living room, surprise evident on your face making Red Hood smile.
"Yup, I cleaned up for you while you slept. You owe me." He says as he reaches up into the cabinets and takes down a plate.
"I don't owe you, this is an invasion of privacy!" You exclaimed as you gestured to all that he's done.
Setting the two plates side by side, he mocks a pout. "C'mon, I practically broke my back cleaning this place, not to mention I'm cooking for you, I brought you medicine, and let's not forget I saved your life."
He had done a lot for you without question, but you didn't know why. So you just had to ask.
"Okay, but why?"
He paused in his movements before filling the plates with scrambled eggs, ham, and cheese. It had your mouth watering just looking at it. It's been awhile since you ate food.
"Why should I tell you?" He remarks, a brow raised and that smirk right back on his face. You glare at him before he extends his arm out to you, your plate in hand.
You stare at the plate, the thought of him poisoning it only just now occurring to you.
You squint your eyes at the plate and lift a finger pointing at it. "You… didn't poison that, right?" You drawl.
He shakes his head. "No."
Looking from the plate and back, you hesitantly took it from his grasp. He smiles, "Good job, that's called trust." He shoots you a wink with his hands in finger guns pointed at you.
Turning and opening the utensils drawer, you find yourself rolling your eyes.
"And that's what I call patronizing me." You pause and face him after taking out a fork.
"I can care for myself, I don't understand why after a whole week of the drugs, alcohol, and the hangovers, that you suddenly have to butt your head in."
His face falls, his lips pressed into a thin line. With his free hand he motions for you to step aside, you do just that. He steps forward, grabbing a utensil from the drawer as well. At first he was quiet, as if in thought but then he abruptly placed his plate and fork into one hand and shoved you towards the living room. You shouted in turn.
"Watch it, you're gonna make me drop my plate you dick!" You fuss. Stepping from behind you he rushes past you to jump onto the couch.
Frustrated, you huff. He was like a man child, one you didn't want in your life.
The whole time you were eating, trying to relax, he was mowing down beside you. Being as obnoxious as possible.
"If you're going to eat in my apartment, can you please, stop smacking?" You whined.
He looked over at you, his fork still in his mouth.
"What's that?"
Cue you throwing your head back and groaning.
"First you give me something I didn't ask for, you break into my apartment, butt your head into my life where I didn't want you, yell at me like you have involvement, and then you invade my personal privacy by babying me, and now your eating on my couch without respect for yourself or me." You pause, lowering your head and taking a deep breath.
"I never wanted you here." Your eyes locked onto his. He seemed shocked. He should've expected you to react that way, after all that had happened.
After that, he stopped. He ate like a person with respect, he didn't speak and by the end of it he left without another word and even washed your's and his plates.
You were internally thankful for what he had done but he had done too much. You wanted space to yourself, he didn't know you, you didn't know him, hell, he even tried to murder you almost a month prior to just showing up.
You didn't bother to move from the couch for a while after he left, it wasn't until you stood and turned to retreat to your bed with your blanket over your shoulder that you realized he'd left his jacket.
Placed gently in the pocket of the tan fabric was a slip of paper. Curious, you placed your blanket back on the couch and made your way over to it.
You don't know what compelled you to check the paper or even consider reading it, maybe you hoped that you would have some hint as to why he took interest in you, but instead you found something else.
The note read:
"Hey, it's The Hood, obviously. When I came back last night to straighten up, I noticed that you had an eviction notice on your front door. So, I paid your rent. In the meantime I'll be watching over you, to make sure you don't do anything stupid.
If you haven't noticed already I left my jacket just in case you needed something that actually kept you warm when you went out.
;) ~ You're Red Savior"
Taking the note you fold it carefully, and lift up the jacket. It's heavier in your hands than you thought it would be, but you drape it over your arm and grab your blanket to make your way back to your room.
Tossing the blanket on the bed you drape the jacket over the back of your rolling chair that sits in front of a desk. You never used it anyway.
Taking the note you tuck it away in your bedside table.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°|
For the rest of the day you lounged around. Hours went by and you shuddered and shook, everything physically hurt. When the sun went down a sickness overcame you and you began to sweat. The heat was too much.
Jumping up from the couch and rushing to the toilet, you made it just in time to puke out your insides. The wretched feeling tugged at your insides, making you even more sick. It burned.
You knew what you needed, the only thing to make the pain go away. Finally able to move from the toilet, you began your crawl through your apartment and towards your bag.
But before you could even reach your hallway, you were abruptly halted by a boot directly in front of your face.
With a gasp you pushed yourself onto your back, scrambling away.
"Minimalistic much." Red hood muses as he observes your bathroom. With a grimace, you grasp your head, a sharp pain making you immobile.
He turns his head to you. "oh wow, you look bad." Letting a groan of pain slip through your lips, you fully collapse into your back. You're weak, feeling hot and cold at the same time as your eyes begin to blur.
Red Hood steps over you, leaning down and tapping your face. Unresponsive to his touch he sighs.
"Don't die." He grunts as he slips an arm under your back and knees.
Carefully he carries you to your bed and leaves the room, as he comes back through he grabs your bag. Peering into it he spots the different paraphernalia and grimaces.
"I'll be taking this."
It's safe to say that when you woke up the next morning, you could no longer find your drugs. panicked, you began to grow anxious. The anxiety eventually turned to paranoia.
You searched the apartment up, down, left, and right for the fix but you came up empty handed every time. Soon you began to sweat excessively, it felt so hot that it was cold. The shivers would rock your body and chatter your jaw.
Leaned over the couch, searching, you were struck by saliva pouring into your mouth. Your stomach lurches and your throat begins to burn. Knowing this feeling you rush for the toilet, you could only make it as far as the sink.
The moment you stopped heaving into the sink, you wobbled, your body felt weightless for a moment. You passed out again only to be woken up by Red Hood a few inches from your face.
Startled, you reached out punching him where his nose should have been but instead you grasped your hand in pain and cried.
"Yeah that happens a lot, you're not the first."
Looking up at him with tears in your eyes he stands. "You need to eat," - he turns towards your door - "you also need to drink."
As he steps out of your room you call out after him. "Get out!" Tossing the blanket off of yourself and swinging your legs off the bed, you moved to stand. Appearing back in front of you, Red Hood sat you properly back on the bed.
Resting a glass of water on your bedside table he shakes his head.
"You shouldn't stand, you're weak."
You narrow your eyes. "And you shouldn't be here."
He settles on the rolling office chair at your desk, shrugging his shoulders.
"Well I'm here now, aren't I?"
You clench your jaw in anger. "Stop treating me like I can't care for myself. You don't even know me."
His head is unmoving, that helmet just staring into your soul.
At first you thought you might have finally pulled the right string but then he stood.
"I'll bring snacks tomorrow."
With that he left, leaving you alone and by yourself. Your throat began to grow tight as you laid back down, it grew hard to breathe and the only thing you knew were the pills. Seeing as there was none around you spilled over your bed reaching out for the water on the nightstand.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°|
For hours after you wouldn't leave the bed, even though you had multiple fans on you - you just couldn't cool down. Not to mention the fact that everything hurts.
If you were going to get a hit off of something you were going to have to wait until you could function instead of being stuck in bed all damn day.
But that hope never came, no matter what you just couldn't make yourself budge, it was only when you started to feel sick again that you tried to scramble out of bed.
The sheet wrapped its way around your legs sending you face first to the floor, harshly you kicked your legs but the sheet would not come loose.
Sliding your way onto the floor completely and undoing the sheet you scrambled for the bathroom.
As you rounded the corner of your doorframe into the hallway, you slammed your pinky toe into the corner. Letting out a yelp of pain you grasped your foot, hopping around on one leg before the second wave of sickness hit you.
Abandoning your poor toe you went for the bathroom again, the moment you hit the tile floor your feet caught on one of your dirty shirts sending you tumbling to the ground again.
This time you caught yourself but not in time. As soon as your palms touched down, that burn filled your throat and you threw up.
Once your insides decided they were empty you fell back onto your butt, with your knees to your chest.
If it hadn't been for Red Hood then you wouldn't be having this issue, you thought.
For the next hour you deep cleaned your bathroom floor, not stopping until the smell of bleach was so strong you started to feel lightheaded.
You made yourself comfortable in the living room watching TV, the ads and game shows were about the only thing that numbs your mind without the pills.
In and out of sleep, your surroundings were just non-existent. All you could hear was the TV, not even the fan running in the background.
Then. "Wow, you sleep a lot."
Almost jumping out of your skin and twisting yourself to see Red Hood you again reached out, punching the bright red helmet.
"Fucking…fuck." You grasp your hand, clenching your eyes shut as you rock back and forth hissing through your teeth.
"Does it really hurt that bad?"
Seeing as he leaned over the back of the couch, his hands were available for you to grab. Grasping his hand you squeezed as hard as you could, the anger bubbling inside you.
The moment you made contact he roughly pulled your hand away by your wrist, his hold was tight but not tight enough to bruise.
"If you didn't do drugs that probably would have actually hurt me." He deadpans, dropping your hand in your lap.
"Maybe if you never interfered to begin with I would still have a mom."
Red hood stands straight, his hand resting over his heart as he makes a sound mocking offense.
"Ooh burn," suddenly he leans forward again, his finger pointing at you accusingly. "You're not going to start blaming me for something I had no part in."
"Excuse me mister 'it is my business' but I think you said otherwise."
Moving away from you and towards the fire escape window he speaks.
"I left some small snacks on the counter. Eat before you starve yourself."
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°|
Two nights went by, since then you'd eaten some of the snacks. Your energy was back but you still felt bad. You needed something more sustainable other than sweets, so you decided to venture to the closest gas station.
When you got there the fluorescent lights above the gas pumps lit up the parking lot, sluggishly you pulled yourself from your car and made it into the store.
You were lucky enough to find small ramen packets and some slim Jim's but it wasn't enough. You'd deal with it for now, going out of your comfort zone just for food wasn't worth it.
Sadly, you had no money on you, cash nor card. So instead you stuffed it in the secret inside pockets of the jacket Red Hood had left for you.
Making your way back to the front you played it cool, nervous that the cashier was even eyeing you.
"D'you not find what you need?" She asked.
You turned with a small smile. "No, sadly not but it's okay, I'll live without it."
She smiled and nodded. "Okay have a nice day."
"You too."
Hurrying from the store and back to your car, you shakily grabbed the door handle. Adrenaline through the roof as you sat down and took a breath.
Even gripping the steering wheel didn't stop you from shaking.
You continued to make your way home, the whole way creeping just below the speed limit because you were scared out of your mind.
Pulling into the alley beside your apartment, the headlights illuminated a motorcycle in the farthest corner. No one here owned one as far as you knew. Pushing away the thought, you gathered your items, stepping from the car and mindlessly walking up the stairs you reached to open the door.
Before your hand touches the knob it opens to reveal Red Hood standing on the other side.
"Welcome home." He cheers, gesturing for you to enter.
Without saying anything you walk in, eyeing him as you do. As you walk to the counter you can hear the door shut behind you and Red Hood's footsteps approaching.
You try to ignore him in hopes that he'll leave but he's persistent.
"So are we going to talk about you stealing that?" He points his finger at the item you got from the store and crosses his arms. Turning to face him you furrow your brows.
"You knew?!"
He chuckles. "Chill, of course I knew."
"So you're not going to like, arrest me or something?"
"I don't have to, you're already suffering enough."
Unzipping the jacket and tossing it onto the couch you groan. "And who's fault is that?"
"Your own."
Turning to face him, angry, you wave him off. "Enough of that bullshit, how did you know?"
He wasn't there, not that you were looking for him in particular or even paying attention to that. But it's kinda creepy to think he was watching you without your knowledge.
Red Hood follows you around the couch, still standing with his arms crossed.
"Surprised you've never noticed." He shrugs as he walks past you, sitting on the opposite end of the couch.
"Noticed what?" You look at him.
"Me doing research."
You furrow your brows. "Research?
He chuckles.
"You'll figure out what that means eventually."
Annoyed, you pull your phone from your pocket. "Leave or I'll call the cops."
Turning his head towards you he aggressively grasps your wrist, surprised you reach to pull his hand away but his other hand grabs it. Standing he raises his knee, knocking your phone from your hand. The moment it's out of your grasp he releases your hands and snatches the phone before it hits the ground.
"I think you'll find that to be a bad idea. Even if you did call I'd be long gone before they got here."
You stand abruptly. "Why won't you just leave me alone?!"
He tossed your phone behind him with a sigh. "I have my reasons. And I'll keep coming around until you get better."
"Get better? I'm getting worse!" You point at him. "And it's because of you."
He shakes his head. "You need to stop blaming all your issues on me."
"Well I'm doing so rightfully." You know you're not.
"Also it's getting worse before it ever gets better." You know that too.
"Leave." Don't.
"If that's what you want so bad." No, please stay.
From where you stood you watched him leave, silent as a mouse the whole time.
Once he was gone you grabbed your phone from the floor tossing it into the couch cushions and made your way to your room.
You knew that he was just trying to help, you wanted that help, you needed it more than you wanted it. But part of you didn't want to accept that. In the end you only left yourself feeling guilty and mad. He was the only other person who could have saved you from yourself but you just couldn't admit it.

I love your mcs! Next question: do you have anything written for their stories you want to share like a sneak peak,,, if not then wanna spoil a big emotional moment they have? I like spoilers
(i got a little excited answering this ask i'm so sorry in advance)
also sorry in advance for the many, many tws and cws i did NOT realise how dark my writing was???
YES what if i just start posting random scenes for you guys. what if i did that. okay i would love to post the entire first chapter but it turns out i didn't finish that sooooo have spoily spoiler instead... unfortunately it does not hit as hard without the context of the rest of the story, so i'll give a bit of contextualization first
morgan (they/them) has spent almost their entire life with only like... two friends, and one of then had been their sister, jill (she/her). jill is in the same year, so morgan, jill, and their mutual best friend mateo (he/him) have pretty much grown up together. during grades 1-5 (ages 5ish to 11ish for all my non-north american friends) morgan makes a friend named joel (he/him). they're close for a bit, but then in fifth grade some stuff changes and eventually they're not even on speaking terms anymore. coincidentally, jayden moved to the school and befriended joel around the same time. consequently, morgan blames him for "stealing" joel.
around 9th grade morgan realises that mateo is lowkey abusing/grooming and isolating them from all of their peers, so they cut ties with him. their sister does not, which they are understandably resentful over.
(also side tangents but i'm gonna put tws in the foreword of my books... i think everyone should do that tbh. it would make consuming content a lot more accesible imo. this has nothing to do with the ask i just thought of that while i was tagging)
anyway, up until this scene, morgan was under the impression that jayden had gang-raped someone with his entire friend group. this turns out to be something mateo made up about jayden to get morgan to stay away from him.
don't lie about rape kids. i absolutely should not have to be the one to tell you that. but i will. because apparently some people just fuck around and do it anyway (not to get personally upset online but like i said... an unfortunate amount of these events were real things that happened to or around me as a child.)
okay here's the actual scene 💀:
“I don’t understand what I did to you!” I shouted. I could feel tears pricking at my eyes and the only thought it my head was God, this is so fucking embarrassing. “And- and I keep trying to make it better, but you won’t let me! And that would be fine if I at least knew what I was being fucking shunned for-”
“How could you possibly not know?” they demanded angrily. “Everyone knew! Mateo told me-!”
And then they stopped. Their eyes glazed over. Tears gathered at the corners of their eyes, and they started laughing.
Laughing.
“Ha. Haha. Hahaha.”
It started slow at first, but then they just kept laughing until they were in full-out hysterics, laughing and crying. Their knees buckled, and suddenly they were sitting on the ground, right in the goddamn snowbank. I hated them for a minute, because I was supposed to be angry, but all I could feel in that moment was concern.
“What?” I demanded, legitimately scared. “What did Mateo tell you I did?”
They had both hands over their mouth, either to keep from sobbing or to stop laughing. I think they were scaring themself as much as they were scaring me. Then, they said something I’ll never forget.
“It doesn’t matter. Not a word he ever said was true.”

Dialga v. Palkia Does Not Go As Expected
PLA, GN!Reader
Adaman and Irida want to have a fight, you just want to eat some potato mochi
Since the two clans have reached a peaceful treaty, it seemed only proper there be some sort of festival to celebrate. And since Jubilife Village has always been a sort of middle ground, it only makes sense to hold the party here. Plus, well, this is where the gods live.
Speaking of, you've become something of an,, ambassador between humans and the Almighty, as well as the de facto moderator for arguments between the clans. That's another reason everyone is gathering in the village.
Commander Komodo says that you have to look the part. You try to argue but then Cyllene pulls a sword out of nowhere - apparently she was the best swordsman in Hoenn? You make a note to ask about it later - and reminds you about following orders. So you relent and spend the day getting ready.
The tailor - Anthe - borrows some of your Pokémon for inspiration. It's a little silly to say but it gives you just a tiny bit of anxiety. How would you feel, having four friends who are always by your side suddenly whisked away? You feel just a tiny bit naked. But you stick through it, helping Rei and Akari hang up streamers and trying not to jump when Ingo randomly yells from a few feet away.
Seriously what did he do in his past life where he was always yelling?
Anthe's custom outfit is gorgeous, as you expected. There's a bit of a mish-mosh of colors to represent the Almighties; blue for Dialga, pink for Palkia, white for Arceus, you even talked her into adding some black and gold for Giratina.
Then it's heading over to Arezu so she can fuss over your hair.
You're finally rescued when Adaman and Irida show up about an hour before the festival is set to start. Arezu immediately pulls Adaman into a conversation, while Irida helps you to your feet. Arezu finally releases both you and Adaman, so together with Irida you three scamper back outside.
Like I said, they're here an hour early. You link your arm with Adaman's and nudge his side, teasing him a bit. You grab Irida's hand to tease her too.
'Oh you're here early? Did you forget the time? Did Irida have to come get you so you didn't be late? Irida I didn't know you were so prompt and timely. That's not a very Pearl Clan thing to do. Not very traditional.'
They're both a bit red-faced. Irida is scowling at you while Adaman is sticking his tongue out. You copy his childish display, and within moments you're locked in a fierce tongue battle
No not like that. Sorry to disappoint.
Irida (lightly) smacks Adaman on the back of the head. He yells but she ignores him, facing you with a gleam in her eyes. She explains that they actually have a request. That definitely sobers Adaman up a bit.
They want to battle each other with Dialga and Palkia to settle, Once And For All, which Clan is better.
You,,, are immediately hesitant. Not because you're concerned about the Pokémon ripping open the fabric of reality again - okay that's a lie you kinda are a bit worried about that - but because,, look it's already a little difficult for the clans to wrap their heads around you casually keeping their respective Almighties in a Pokéball and you really don't want to make that worse.
But Adaman and Irida seem genuine. So you relent, bringing them over to the training grounds. You have over your Pokéballs and go to stand with Ingo. One of the balls in your belt rattles. With a glow, Giratina emerges, settling beside you to watch the fight. You give it a few Oran berries as a treat.
Once the clan leaders get over their initial awe - and you remind Dialga and Palkia that, hey, humans kinda need the fabric of space-time to stay together to survive so don't go too hard - they're ready to brawl!
You end up crawling onto Giratina's head to get an aerial view. You reach back into your satchel and pull out a container of potato mochi for a snack. You're about to pop one in your mouth when four of them start to glow - two blue, two pink. Leaving you with just three left.
You roll your eyes and remind them to share.
Much to the clan leaders' shock, the gods have just,,, stopped fighting. You could have told them to expect this but the look of confusion slowly morphing to a surprised understanding on both their faces is much funnier. Surprised understanding turns again into confusion when they each receive a mochi.
A blessing from the lord
You slide off Giratina's back to the floor and pass one mochi over to Ingo and another to the Void Pokemon itself. Then you finally snack on yours.
Last week, Palkia opened a mini-wormhole just to steal Professor Laventon's toque. And Dialga laid down in front of the Galaxy Hall and refused to move until Rei and Akari promised to take it on their next survey. And Giratina sat in front of your house and refused to let you leave until you gave it a kiss on the head and reaffirmed that, yes, Giratina is a very good Void Snake.
They're powerful, borderline Eldritch creatures, sure. But like most creatures - most humans included - sometimes they wanna be showered in affection. And sometimes they wanna eat good food with good friends.
And isn't that what this festival is all about?
Right as you finishing explaining that, Giratina lobs a Shadow Ball right in Palkia's face and escapes through a wormhole. Palkia gives an indignant roar and follows. Dialga makes a purring sound that might be a laugh. Then Giratina pops up behind Dialga and lobs another Shadow Ball, which makes Dialga snarl and give chase.
The four of you - Adaman, Palina, Ingo, and yourself - all stand in the middle of the court, watching the legendary Pokémon chase each other around. Ingo chuckles and says siblings are like that. Irida asks if he has any siblings. He frowns and shrugs, saying he doesn't remember.

Consider:
We seem to have god-like healing powers, since we can like, leap off cliffs and whatever and just stumble for a sec before being good (I always imagined Arceus basically gave us a super good healing factor)
Imagine the chaos when everyone finds this out
Adaman
You invite Adaman to go on a survey with you in the Mirelands. As the Clan leader, he's pretty familiar with the surroundings so he's happy to show you around and help out in whatever way he can
He can make sure you don't waste time getting lost
You guys go out. It's been a nice day. You're chatting about nothing too particular, just some gossip on the wardens and making jokes about Kamodo and whatever.
You're expertly throwing Pokeballs and crushing everything in your path
When suddenly
There's an alpha
Not just any alpha, but a Carnivine. And it's spotted you.
You react on impulse. You send out your biggest Pokemon and tell it to get Adaman out of here and dart to the side to draw Carnivine's attention
Adaman is freaking out because Carnivine are Big and Scary™ but he also doesn't wanna leave you behind
Your Pokemon keeps headbutting him, trying to push him away from the battle
You're darting and dodging and hiding behind rocks and whatever, keeping Carnivine's attention solely on you
Adaman yells at you to stop fucking around and run for cover
Sweetie why would you do this
You're taken by surprise. You hear him yell and your first impulse is to look over, and Carnivine takes the chance to rush you and Cut You Bad™
Definitely poisons you a bit
Your Pokemon finally gives up on trying to shove Adaman away and goes after Carnivine itself, making swift work of kicking it's ass and sending it packing
Bonus points if it's an alpha of something adorable like Bidoof or Combee or whatever but my brain defaults to a Luxray so do with that what you will
Adaman runs over to you and drags you behind a tree. There's blood. Oh Almighty Sinnoh you are bleeding Quite A Lot and he's freaking out because Pokémon are so dangerous why the fuck were you toying with it why couldn't you have just let him fought it with his Leafeon or something oh fuck you're gonna die-
You cover your mouth. Cough. He's trying to stop the bleeding but his hands are shaking and
Wait
The blood has stopped
???
There's this very faint golden glow around you for a few moments. Your wound heals. You're all good. Somewhere between amused because this happens to you all the time and a little guilty because poor boy was so scared for you
He's still shaky so help him wash his hands and bring him back either to his settlement or the research camp, whichever is closest.
Explain about your healing powers. Once you do he calms down a lot.
By the time you reach wherever you're dropping him off at, you're both joking about what happened.

Smooches :(
I'm going to assume this is a request about the Last Legacy M4 since that's what I write the most of. Mayhaps this is your way of saying you want a smooch, in which case I say 'same'. But I'm not actually sure. So while I appreciate you thinking I'm smart enough to get this, I am actually Very Very Stupid and taking a swing in the dark here. Hope you enjoy!
GN!reader, fluffy fluff

I think Felix is a very big fan of casual smooches. He's been studying or working on experiments for nine hours straight and you just swoop in out of nowhere to kiss his cheek. Instant Dopamine Boost. Instant energy.
In as much as I like to joke about Felix being Easily Flustered, he's also the only Starswon (Rime notwithstanding) that's been in a canon long-term relationship. He's definitely get a lil embarrassed hehe blushy blushy man but he keeps his composure fairly well. Sometimes makes a little noise, sometimes shrinks up a little bit, the tips of his ears turn pink. But he'll look at you and pout and ask if That's All He's Getting™
If you sit with him while he's reading, I think he smooches you a lot. Doesn't even pull his eyes away from the page, just kinda leans over and kisses your cheek, your jaw, your neck, whatever's close enough. He's Focused™ but he still wants to worship you a lil
When he's not distracted by studies, he's a bit more flustered but he still gives you a lot of little kisses and smooches and pecks
I think especially when something reminds him of Rime. I feel like we don't talk enough about Protective!Felix being afraid of losing MC. So anyways when something makes him think of Rime, it kinda automatically makes him think about how Rime died, and that stresses him. Even if it was Unavoidable, he still worries about that happening to you. So he'll randomly pepper your cheeks and lips with little kisses and hold your hand. Kisses the back of your hand too.
I feel like all of Felix is very soft,, includes his lips,,,, do with that info what you will,,,,,,
He do Big Spell. Head Hurty. When he tries to sleep, smooch his temple. Makes him feel better.
Anisa
Heheh...ehehehe.....cat wife kisses
Gods i miss her
I feel like she loves all types of smooches, but especially sneaky ones! She's spent such a long time following the rules and being The Model Citizen™ that she likes the thrill of it. She's also incredibly proud to be your Knight In Shining Armor!! And as long as you guys aren't doing anything too dirty she doesn't care who sees a bit of PDA.
I think she'd like being kissed on her hands/wrists, tip of her nose, and collarbone. If you wanna be cute and kiss her chest where your heart is, she'll be super flustered but like it (as long as you guys aren't in public at that point).
Her favorite places to smooch you would probably be,,, your forehead (she uses her hands to smoosh your cheeks a lil whenever she kisses your forehead) and the spot below your ear. Maybe nips at your earlobe a little bit when she's feeling flirty but probably not in public
I feel like she hugs you from behind a lot!! Possibly sneaks up on you to give you surprise kisses.
She comes home after a long day of work,, she's so tired,,, help her pull her armor off,,,, give her a lil kiss on the shoulder,,,,,, she melts,,,,,,,,, and when she has nights when the memories are too much for her to deal with and she can't sleep, cuddle her. In between stories and jokes and dreams you two shares, smooch her hand/wrist. Makes her very calm.
I think if you guys are laying around and just kinda relaxing and you suddenly start kissing her, she would purr a little. I don't even know if half-ilephtas can purr, but damnit, she does.
Sage
I was gonna say that I hc that the only source of wholesome smooches Sage ever had before you was probably like, when he and Tulsi were younger and say she was afraid of a thunder storm he would probably kiss the top of her head or whatever (which is something my older sister still does to me a lot when I'm upset) but after That Post from the Insta I feel like that'd be inappropriate,,, which is really shitty because siblings should be allowed to show affection for each other without people being freaks about it,,,,,
But anyways
I think Sage is used to making out and whatever, but soft lil smooches??? Foreign concept.
The first time you smooch his cheek out of nowhere he just bluescreens. He's dead. Gone. Vanished. Slain. He tries to be flirty to hide his embarrassment but you give him this wholesome little smile and he just puts his head down because he needs a second
He's a bit of an attention whore so once you start he doesn't want you to stop. If you're busy studying he 10,000% does the lil headbutt thing.
Definitely likes kissing your hands and nibbling on your fingers a lil but also your forehead, the top of your head, and the crook of your neck because he's trying to hide his face a lil cause he's blushing
Ooh big strong cat man blushing like a tomato because he's being sweet on his loving partner
I also think Biting Is A Love Language! You will get nibbled on often!! Obviously when he's flirty he's messing with you that way but even when he's just being a blushing dork, he gives you a lil love bite. Though I have a thing for marking so porhaps I'm projecting but I'm sure you don't mind
Loves it when you kiss his head/ears, his cheeks, probably his chest too. And if you kiss his scars? Especially while mumbling a bit of praise about how big and strong he is? He simply Ceases To Exist.

Mc being to afriad to tell the LIs she loves them so she says it when she thinks they're alseep but theyve caught on and are only just pretending to sleep so they can hear it
Ajfigkda I love this trope so much 🥺
GN!Reader, sleepy times
Felix Escellun
Felix has noticed that you are,, a little more shy than normal. Certainly more affectionate but a little less talkative, a little less open.
At first he thinks something is wrong. Did he maybe do something? Are you alright?
But then one day you hug him from behind and nuzzle into the crook of your neck. Mumble something he doesn't catch into the skin of his shoulder. And when he asks you to repeat it you just squeeze him a little tighter.
That's when he first realizes what it is you really want to say.
Do you think,, he was the one to say it first to Rime? Because in my head I think Rime said it first, and I think that's how Felix kind of recognizes what you're up to.
But he wants to give you some space for it. So,,
It's been a long day of studying. You've been doing it again - starting to speak, pausing, shaking it off and sinking back into a mostly-comfortable silence.
Mostly comfortable. It's an itty bit awkward. The 'weight of unsaid words' and all that.
Well, wouldn't the best way to fix it be to get the words said? He thinks so. So that day, in the study, he makes a show of curling himself up in the armchair and leaving the blanket bunched around his waist before 'falling asleep'
It takes about ten minutes. Your footsteps are soft and light and gentle and he only hears them because he was listening. You pull the blanket up over his shoulders. Tuck it in a little. Brush some of the hair away from his face. He's trying really hard not to smile because you're being so soft. And then you lean down and whisper 'I love you' and his face is flaming red and then as soon as you leave the room he sinks down into the blanket and just makes a really quiet noise because yeah he was expecting but still-
Spends the next 20 minutes basically squealing into his blanket before getting himself together. The next time you come in he kisses your hand continues with his reading. Hopefully now that you've said it, you'll be brave enough to say it again
Anisa Anka
Anisa kind of sees it coming but she also doesn't want to jump the gun y'know? Cause like, if she says it first and you weren't ready to say it, then that's gonna pressure you into saying it. And she doesn't want that.
So what should she do? You keep blushing whenever you look at her for too long and ugh you're making it so obvious it's adorable
But she doesn't want to make things weird, doesn't wanna put any pressure on you. It's her job to protect you in this world. She can't abuse that position, not even accidentally.
Hm. This really is rather difficult to navigate around.
Once night she gets home late from her patrol. She creeps back into the apartment to see that you're in her bed, all bundled up and drooling on her pillow a little. She chuckles a little to herself as she changes out of her armor and into something more comfortable. Then she goes to sleep on the couch.
As she's laying there, trying to fall asleep, she hears soft footsteps. Your footsteps, she'd recognize them anywhere. You walk over and carefully nudge a pillow (not the one you drooled on, obviously) under Anisa's head. She's wide awake but she's feigning sleep, wanting to see what you do.
'...hey... Anisa. I love you.'
Her hair poofs a bit as she tries really, really hard not to smile like a fool.
'Wh- A-Anisa! You're not even asleep!'
She opens her eyes with a little laugh and lightly grabs your hand, keeping you from shyly scurrying away. She wants to see your face, after all. 'How could I possibly sleep when the person I'm in love with just said they love me?'
Your eyes are big and wide because Oh She Just Confessed To Loving You Back and she's just giggling because you look so cute. She also feels a little light-headed from a mix of happiness and adrenaline because She Really Likes You And Her Heart Is Racing.
You guys end up falling asleep in her bed. Together.
Sage Lesath
Y'know I don't think Sage sees it coming!! He's never been in love before and he's never stayed with any one person long enough for him to recognize the signs. No, I think that he knows something is up but he doesn't know what.

My #1 post of 2022
Imagine if the ArcPhone has it's own WiFi network so the player can look stuff up
During a meeting you're just looking up dramatic music stings and randomly playing one whenever Kamodo/Adaman/Irida/Cyllene starts talking
When Laventon talks you play various clown themes (affectionate)
You play train sounds around Ingo because it makes him happy (even if he can't remember why)
Teach Melli about Snapchat and filters
Make 'wot in tarnation' memes about Lian
Show Iscan some scary Dusclops fanart if you wanna be evil
If you wanna be nice show him cute fanart
Change the phone's clock in front of Adaman just to piss him off
Change the phone's location in front of Irida just to piss her off
Teach Rei and Akari some Vocaloid songs+dances and encourage them to show everyone
You get a text from Arceus
There's a link that he says is some important information about how to fight Electrode or whatever
You click it
It's a Rick Roll

Tumblr media
Image ID: Five panels of Kate Kane (Batwoman) from the DC comics themed in red, black, and white. End ID.
It had officially been a week since Y/N and Lena had broken up and Y/N had left the DEO. An anger had been bubbling up inside her that she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to contain before it burst at Kara and her friends for so easily moving on from the pain Lena had caused her. No one cared that they had been in a committed relationship. No one cared that Lena had gone to Kara not a day ever she and Y/N had broken up. No one cared about her. 
Except for J’onn. 
He was her saving grace, as he promised to lend her name to a few of his friends for work, and Y/N couldn’t be more grateful, especially as she had left her position at the DEO so suddenly and without warning anyone.
The woman had just returned to her home after a long day of failed job hunting, because even though she had J’onn’s help, it was better to be safe than sorry. 
She locked her door, took of her coat, and promptly flopped on the couch, her limbs hungry from rest with their endless aching. She complied, letting her what-now-felt heavy eyelids flutter close.
The ringing of her phone felt 10x louder in her sleepy clouded haze, as she was almost asleep when her eyes flew open, wide, and she nearly tumbled off the couch. 
Grumbling, she pulled her phone out go her pocket and saw that it was an unknown number. Y/N had nothing better to do so - she answered. 
“Hello?” 
“Can I speak to Y/N Y/L/N?” 
“This is she . . . Who are you?” 
“I’m Batwoman. J’onn recommended you for our Crisis team and if you’d like, we want to bring you to our headquarters - paid by us, of course - and test and see if we should recruit you.” 
Y/N could of sworn she was dreaming, and had to pinch herself to make sure she wasn’t. It took a couple moments for this all to process in her head . . .
“Uhh, you still there?” 
She suddenly realized she hadn’t answered for a bit and scrambled to compose her thoughts. “Yes, sorry! Just digesting everything . . . it’s a great opportunity, thank you so much and . . . yeah, I think I’d like that,” she said, clearing her throat. 
The warmth of Batwoman’s chuckle instantly calmed Y/N’s frenzied-state like a spell. “Awesome, I’ll text you more details soon,” the superhero said. 
After ending the phone call, Y/N laid back on the couch, jaw open and an awed, dazed look in her eyes. “Wow,” she whispered, hardly believing it. 
Little did she know that she would get accepted into the team and would have the greatest time ever - working with the team, gaining new friends, and the best one of all would be falling for and dating Batwoman herself, Kate Kane.
. . . . . . . . .
A couple months later and the couple was happily sitting at Y/N’s apartment, having a date night (which mainly consisted of watching cheesy and classic movies, eating chocolate, and gossiping about their teammates).
Kate had just started ticking Y/N (the former trying and struggling to get away from her strong grip), laugher bouncing off the walls.
“This is too adorable,” Kate commented with a grin, enjoying her girlfriend’s smile and giggles.
Y/N rolled her eyes. “NnnnnOoOhHOO,” she got out through her laughter, attempting to combat Kate’s fingers as she dug them under her armpits, making her squeal.
Knock knock knock!
“Saved by the bell,” Kate remarked with a smirk, leaning back.
Y/N just smiled, glad that the tickling had ceased for the time being but also wondering who was at the door. She climbed off the couch and walked over, first checking through the peephole.
She had to do a double take when she saw who it was. Turning back to Kate, Y/N said, “It’s Lena.”
Kate furrowed her eyebrows in confusion but nodded, encouraging her to open it.
“Hey, Y/N. I’m sorry to do this, I just . . . My feelings for Kara were so stupid. It was just a passing thing, a crush, and . . . God, I miss you so much. Would you consider, uh, taking me back?” Lena rushed out as soon as Y/N opened the door.
Whatever she thought her ex-girlfriend was going to say, it wasn’t this. Y/N stood there for a couple moments, letting the words weave itself throughout her mind.
“Um, I’m sorry Lena, but . . . no,” she said, unsure of how else to voice it.
Lena blinked, shocked. “What?” She asked, obviously not expecting this.
Y/N shifted the weight from one foot to the other, fingers tapping against the door quietly. “I’ve moved on. I have a girlfriend,” she clarified, opening the door to show Kate on the couch, who awkwardly waved.
Lena’s mouth dropped, tears in her eyes. “I... I didn’t expect you to-”
“Move on?” Y/N cut in, taking a breath. Her grip on the door got tighter. Shit, she knew she was past Lena, but the hurt was still there.
Silence filled the air, Lena not knowing what to say and Y/N looking at her intensely. Finally, Lena huffed and looked at her, before spinning around on her heels and walking out. Y/N sighed, closing the door, but Kate snuck up behind her and was there to tickle and hug and cuddle the pain away.

Happy And Sad
Pairing: Steve Rogers X Bucky Barnes
Summary: A world where Thanos has been defeated and everyone is still alive. Things are normal. Steve and Bucky are still pining over each other. But maybe Tony’s party might bring them a little closer to admitting their feelings.
OR
Happiness is fleeting and so is sadness. And bucky is aware of that. But for once he just wants to be happy. Even without the promise of permanency.
Based on Kacey Musgraves: Happy and Sad.
Warning: If you don’t ship Stucky then don’t read this! Also: Alcohol consumption, self doubt slight mention of ptsd and nightmares, maybe a bard word? major pining.
Rating: F for fluff, A for (slight angst)
A/n: i think this is my second time posting this. The first time it didn’t do so well but I had a surge of confidence so I reposted. Please be kind and please leave some feedback. It means a lot x
Tumblr media
Tony has thrown yet another party. A ball room dolled up with expensive decorations, lights, chandeliers and happy faces. Pristine marble floors and a fountain with crystal clear water (or is that champagne?) right in the centre of the room. Guests; superheroes, agents, family and friends all dressed to the nines, black tie of course. And Bucky is standing in the corner of the room.
A forlorn expression; a thousand yard stare. He is fidgeting nervously. Left hand covered completely (in spite of the disapproving look from Shuri). His long hair is conditioned and tied in a low man bun, although stubborn strands still fall on his face. He is nursing a glass of whiskey. Nothing gets him drunk because of the damning super soldier serum but he loves the burn from the amber liquid. Imagines himself getting inebriated enough, just enough to forget the pain that the horrid of his past inflicts upon him mercilessly. He deserves it, he thinks. Before he could let the thoughts consume him he consumes the alcohol.
He can hear music being played but he doesn’t recognise it. Doesn’t recognise anyone. Yes he knows everyone but doesn’t really know anyone. Do they know him? No one does.
He is about to take another sip willing himself to push the pain away but his breath gets caught in his throat.
It's not you, it's the glow of the party
The way that you've got me lit up inside
It's the song that they're playin', the words that you're sayin'
It's never felt so right
There in the throng of the guests he sees a familiar face. A very familiar face. A very familiar person. His person. His Stevie.
Dressed in a velvet blue tuxedo, blonde hair gelled back, a very light scattering of stubble adoring his sharp jaw and high cheekbones. Bucky thinks he rather likes the look. And by the look of it so do all the women who suddenly gravitate towards America’s golden boy. Bucky doesn’t blame them. Instead he breathes a sigh and chugs the drink along with the harsh truth, that it’s not his Steve anymore. Probably never was…
Sulking, he is about to turn and walk towards the guest room (that Tony hesitantly offered him for the night) when he hears someone call his name and that familiar feeling of his world coming to a halt takes over him. Steve.
And I'm the kind of person who starts getting kinda nervous
When I'm having the time of my life
“Buck, where are you going? Join us?” Almost hesitantly Steve asks.
And Bucky turns around. The soft voice leaving Steve’s lips calling out to him like a siren to a sailor sailing through troubled waters. Calming and alluring.
He looks at Steve, really looks at him. He is still that scrawny little punk from Brooklyn, he thinks. Charming, stubborn and god damn beautiful.
“Buck?” Steve raises his eyebrows in concern.
Is there a word for the way that I'm feeling tonight?
Happy and sad at the same time
You got me smiling with tears in my eyes
And Bucky gives in.
Joins the former captain and mingles with everyone. Or as any bystander would’ve said, spends the night making heart eyes at the Adonis like blond man who refused to leave the former Sergeant’s side the whole night.
As the clock nears midnight, the party begins to lose its swing. New agents, and other guests having already left it’s only the avengers and their new comrades relaxing and talking, appreciating being reunited. No one addresses the lost time, the tragedies; the nightmares that will come later are reminder enough so everyone enjoys the company instead.
So does Bucky. With Sam by his side and Nat, his Natalia, sitting beside him, chugging a bottle of vodka like water, Bucky feels comfortable but he is still on the edge. Almost as if he knows that this will be taken away from him someday. That’s his life. Nothing good ever lasts. Nothing good is ever permanent. A forlorn look. A thousand yard stare.
I never felt so high
No, I've never been this far off of the ground
And they say everything that goes up must come down
But I don't wanna come down
“You’re doing it again.” Nat says.
“What?” Bucky asks.
“That lost puppy look. We won Barnes. It’s time to celebrate. We can sulk later.” She raises a well groomed eyebrow at her.
Natalia, always the snarky one. He chuckles and shakes his head as she offers him the bottle.
“10 o clock, sarge! Lover boy is closing in on us.” Nat nudges Bucky. And he is suddenly alert. Doesn’t notice Sam and Nat slowly sneaking away. Doesn’t notice the red covering his cheeks. Doesn’t notice the way Steve’s eyes take him in; adoration, love, lust, longing.
“What is this? The famous James Buchanan Barnes, not dancing?” Steve jokes. Tries to make the situation lighter.
And Bucky feels lighter. Like he is floating on air but that might have to do with how close Steve is standing to him. Shoulders touching, hands brushing against each other.
“You got the wrong guy!” Bucky shrugs half heartedly.
“No. I’ve got the right one.” Steve looks at Bucky. Cerulean eyes stare into each other. Lips parted, slightly. Awaiting.
So is there a way to stop all this thinkin', just keep on drinkin'?
'Cause I don't wanna wake up
When they're turnin' the lights on and it turns out the joke's on me
'Cause it feels so right
Suddenly Steve pulls Bucky away from the wall and to the dance floor. The floor now almost vacant.
“What’re ya doin?” Bucky scratches the back of his neck.
“What? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten how you taught me dancing back in the days?” Steve suggests the red of his cheeks matches Bucky’s.
“You were smaller then. Now you’re...big.” Bucky averts his gaze. Steve bends down a little, a tiny, teasing smile plays on his lips. Cautiously, he grabs Bucky’s hand. The metal hand. Brings it to his lips. A soft, shy brush of lips against the gloved surface. Puts it on his shoulder. A weapon, a burden, an appendage, an embarrassment now an object of admiration. Bucky feels his heart beat getting erratic but the gradual mingling of Steve's heart beats with his own makes it sound like a symphony. Mingles with the music softly playing in the background. Bucky notices how his hand fits right on Steve’s shoulder. Steve places a hand on Bucky’s waist. Pulls him closer, just a little bit. And then a little bit more.
“I am still that kid.“ Steve smiles. Eyes filled with love for the broken but brave man before him. His friend. His love. His Bucky.
“Punk.” Bucky whispers.
“Jerk.” Steve chuckles.
I don't mind at all, no, I'm used to fallin'
I'm comfortable when the sky is gray
But when everything is perfect, I start hidin'
'Cause I know that rain is comin' my way, my way
Bucky is still a little sad. Nothing is permanent. But for now he is happy because for now he is with his Stevie. And he is fine with that.
'Cause I'm happy and sad at the same time
You got me smilin' with tears in my eyes
I never felt so high
No, I've never been this far off of the ground
And they say everything that goes up, goes up must come down
And I don't wanna come down
No, I don't wanna come down

Is This Love?
Tumblr media
- It had to be that fateful day that you two stumbled into his spree. The day that would mentally fuck with you forever. - Spree AU
♫ - The thinking you’re the better man The danger I don't I understand
Word Count: 3K
Warnings: Blood, language, some attraction to a serial murderer, standard final girl
pic credit: @pinkresources​
You don’t know where everything went wrong. Things just went downhill so fast that you barely had a chance to even blink.
Yet here you were, covered in who you thought was your best friend’s blood, a giddy Kurt, and a million people watching.
This couldn’t be the same sweet unassuming guy you’d met before, right?
Everything about him was off now. His tone, his style, his demeanor. Maybe you chose not to see the undertones of insanity to him. Because you were just as alone as he was in the end. 
Tumblr media
Looking back now, he was definitely stalking his prey. Whether that was you or her, whoever gave him the most leverage and made him a household name. A name to either be feared or admired.
It had to be that fateful day that you two stumbled into his spree. The day that would mentally fuck with you forever. 
It was supposed to be a normal day, just get your friend, in and out of some of her busiest and various interviews. You were her assistant, even if she tried to coin it some other term or just called you her friend, plain and simple.
Your pairing made you feel somewhat self conscious. Here she was, pretty, leggy, adored by fans online, the facade she had constructed for herself when in reality she was just manipulative and vindictive. This definitely wasn’t the crowd you wanted to work with, alas here you were.
“Remind me what we’re doing.” She said, eyes still completely glued to the phone. 
“Variety wanted that challenge video with you.” 
“Perfect, now,’ she took her eyes off of the screen and paused her typing. “Where’s the car?” 
“What car?” 
She rolled her eyes, “Those shitheads didn’t get me a car? How do they expect us to get there, walking?” 
Sometimes you wondered how she made it this far. Probably because everyone wanted to be used by her.
“Relax, I’ll just order a ride again.” You whipped out your phone, picking a red app out of the hundreds of others that caught your eye.
“Relax? Do you know how hard it is for me? I could be in the Maldives by now but no you told me to do this stupid interview because you’re poor.”
The insult didn’t exactly sting you as much as it would’ve a year ago. As a media graduate you thought you’d be working within the big leagues, not with a prissy and bitchy vlogger who wanted everything at the drop of a hat. 
Plus this interview came with some big bucks and if you could manage to nail this without fail, you could quit the very next day.
“Sorry, look, it’s just today and then tomorrow you can go out and do whatever you want.”
She whines, eyes back onto her phone and tweeting about her hardships. While the princess waited you kept an eye on passing cars, anything that would match the one on your screen. 
A car pulls up in front of you both, the windows of the passenger seat rolling down to greet you.
“Kurt, right?” 
He nods with a smirk, definitely inviting you in but also reminding you of someone. You make your way to the backseat, but are pushed aside as your friend takes her place in the middle of the row. You laugh nervously, glancing at Kurt as you take the passenger seat. 
“What’s with all these cameras? Are you like in a reality show?” Your friend blurts out, prompting Kurt to glance at her.
“It’s just for safety. Wait are you - oh my god you are!” Kurt gushes, making the connection of the celebrity in his backseat. 
Your friend flashes her pearly whites at Kurt, loving to be the center of attention. 
“No way. Bobby is not gonna believe this.” He beams.
You can feel it’s almost time to dissociate in order to get through this ride. 
Kurt turns his phone over to the right, capturing your friend’s image a little better. The comments pop one after the other at rapid speed. You can’t read it but you can tell by Kurt’s face whoever is commenting is in disbelief. 
“My friend Bobby is obsessed with you, he always says he would make a sex tape with you.” 
You cringe at the thought and at the sudden robot voice erupting from Kurt’s phone exclaiming that Julia take her top off. It doesn’t seem to faze her though, she lives for it.
“Hey has anyone told you, you look exactly like that guy from Stranger Things?” Julia laughs, You’re unsure if it’s supposed to be a jab or an actual compliment for Kurt.
Kurt’s smile drops, it’s something he got a lot as a tease from Bobby. How he looked like him but didn’t quite have his suave and lovable demeanor. If anything he was the complete opposite, pathetic.
“A bit.” He waves the thought away, and as soon as your friend begins to take pictures of herself, he begins speaking rapidly. 
“If you post anything, make sure to tag me I’m KurtsWorld 96. Follow for follow.” He beams, as if this is something he normally does.
Ohhhhhh boy. This is just a twitter bot in a boy’s body isn’t it. 
Your friend just giggles to herself, completely ignoring his plea for fame. 
“See, I would love to do that. But my friend has to do like some background check or whatever. No hard feelings though, ‘kay?” With that she’s back to her own bubble.
It’s you who’s on the spotlight now though and you mentally curse her out for it. 
“Really?” Kurt glances at you and you can read him just like all the other fans. The hopefulness in his eyes. 
“I mean if you need to check out my stuff I don’t mind at all. In fact, that’s why I have all these cameras set up.”
“I thought they were for protection.” 
Kurt chuckles, “That too, but I mean when stuff like this happens you have to document it, right? Gotta let everyone know what you’re doing all the time.” 
The extreme level of desperation from Kurt almost scares you. You’ve seen this before, you were this before. His problem is he doesn’t have a Julia. 
You nod, smiling easily. 
“After all, we’re only as good as our last performance.” Kurt says suddenly. 
You do a double take.
There’s a familiarity to what he says. You’ve seen or heard it somewhere before. Something only known to you in private. 
Your brows furrow as you both look at each other. There’s a certain tension between you now, you get goosebumps from the way he looks at you. The feeling in the pit of your stomach confuses you. 
The times he glances at you in silence just to raise his brows or to do some facial quirk to make you laugh feel pleasant.
You watch him intently, the way his fingers grip the wheel, the way his hair could use just a touch of hydration, the way the corners of his lips lift into a smirk.
Julia doesn’t notice the eye fucking at all, not surprising.
The later half of the ride consisted mostly of just Kurt talking about something he was planning and that if you two were interested he would love to have both of you back. 
Julia, though always eager to have a camera shoved in her face, surprisingly declines because Kurt just doesn’t seem like he’d suit her brand. You feel the embarrassment for him and want to get out of this situation as soon as possible.
Your prayers are answered and the minute you see Kurt brake, you rush out just as your friend holds up a finger for you to wait. Kurt offers her a water bottle which she takes happily because it’s “free”. You wait but he offers you none.
She takes small sips and then crams it into her bag. 
Kurt simpers, but you don’t know what exactly is in the bottle, yet. 
“Thanks, Kurt.” You can’t help but meet his gaze. It’s not desperate anymore, no. It’s almost.....darker.
“My pleasure.” 
You both rush into the building, Julia forgetting about him already. But he sits in your mind the entire time. 
Tumblr media
Julia cries as she doubles over in pain, her hand basically gripping yours for dear life as she coughs up blood. She had left the interview early due to a stomach ache but you’d never seen anything so severe.
“Julia, okay listen to me, we have to get you to the hospital.”
She shakes her head, hurling crimson onto your shirt and hands. 
“Julia! You need help, we need to go!” You yelled adamantly.
She wasn’t like this until the car ride with Kurt. 
You sprang into action, going back to your phone and putting in Kurt’s info to find where he was. The only perk about being an assistant to an influencer, is people will come when you call. And Kurt was sure to come.
You order a ride, and cover up Julia’s face which already is starting to look like something out of a zombie movie. Her face is swelling up and her lips are bleeding. 
You take her by the arm and lead her down to an awaiting Kurt, joining her in the backseat.
He looks different. More rugged and somewhat cleaner, he’s changed clothes since the few hours you saw him. Even the car is different, it wasn’t his Prius. 
He’s not even fazed by her sudden reaction to the water and instead, the moment you close the door he drives off in the opposite direction. 
“Kurt this isn’t the way to the hospital.”
“Oh I know, I’m taking you home.”
“I don’t live this way.” You were beginning to feel the panic rise in you.
He chuckles to himself as if he just made a killer joke. “No, no, my home.”
Your eyes widened. You scan the car filled with cameras. Certainly anyone watching would call the police. You can’t help but freeze, your shaky hands trying to grip Julia as she continues to hurl uncontrollably. 
You pass streets you don’t recognize and making contact with drivers is out of the question while you’re paralyzed. 
Kurt pulls onto a rocky road, a house completely devoid of light staring back at you. You wish you could scream once he gets out of the car but when he opens the door to your side and helps you with Julia into the house, you’re on autopilot.
“Honestly I’m surprised she made it this long. Everyone else lasted only a few seconds.” He guffaws, completely in awe as if this was some kind of achievement.
You stare at him, in deep thought of who else he’d done this to.  
“Why are you doing this? Why - why would you-” the sheer panic in your voice doesn’t seem to affect him.
He dumps Julia onto the couch mindlessly, as if he just came home from a long day of work. 
“Because I love you. And I’d do anything for you. And.....I didn’t like the way she was talking to you.” 
He faces you now, coming to hold your face in his hands. You don’t recoil yet but shiver at the way his oddly cold fingers feel against your warm flush face.
“How do you -” 
“We’re only as good as our last performance.” He echoes from earlier. 
It all clicks suddenly. The reason why he didn’t give you a bottle. The comments on her videos defending you. The anonymous messages between you two. It was him all along. 
To say that the now dead body next to you while he professed his love to you was very unsettling would be an understatement. Much less it being broadcast to millions of people watching. 
“If you loved me you wouldn’t be doing this,” You tried to reason, bringing his hands down to his side.
You liked Kurt. Even if you hadn’t known what his intentions were. But the messages made you feel like someone was on your side. Like he understood you. Now you weren’t sure if the past few weeks even meant anything to him or if he really was just using you to get to Julia. 
“You let her walk all over you the same way I let Bobby. But not anymore! You and me, we can be bigger than they ever were.”
“Kurt you’re insane! We have to go now.” 
You make a break for the front door, only to be pinned down by Kurt. You struggle but Kurt’s figure hovers over you. Your breath hitches at the sudden closeness of your faces and bodies.
“I’m sorry but I can’t let you do that.” He says grimly. 
“Kurt please, I won’t tell anyone. I promise. Look we can - we can leave and go somewhere they won’t find you.”
He scoffs. “Live in anonymity? You know I can’t do that.”
You know you’ve lost the battle right then and there. 
You have to appeal to his nature, his blood thirst. You’re quick on your feet because the stench of the blood on your hands is beginning to make your stomach churn. 
You crane your head to the side and lean into him, pressing your lips together. He’s frozen for a second, taken aback by your sudden change of heart. He pulls back and stands, leaving you on the floor still. 
He’s laughing now, almost manically. 
“You love me! See? With everything you and I know, we could be a power couple!”
You stand, watching him as he celebrates prematurely. 
The comments on the stream were going crazy. Most of them not believing that your friend or Bobby were dead now. A variety of sounds coming from the phone fill the room and muffle your quick breaths.
You take small strides to him slowly, keeping your eyes on the phone. “You’re right. No one can tell or make us do something we don’t want to anymore.”
He’s coming down from his high, raking his hands through his hair and muttering to himself. 
“We have to clean house.” He says, rushing to Julia’s body, grabbing her feet and dragging her to the garage. 
You take this moment when his back is to you to run to the door again, flipping the lock open and running as fast as you can out into the freezing air. The adrenaline fuels you. Kurt curses as he drops the body and runs after you. 
He lurches forward when he’s close enough, dropping the both of you onto the rocky dirt. You scramble to get up but he takes hold of your head by your hair and brings your head down onto the ground roughly. 
You’re disoriented for a moment, unable to see. 
“You’re making things harder than they need to be.” He sighs, flipping you over on your back and taking you into his arms in a bridal carry back to the house. 
“Please don’t kill me.” You manage out, feeling a stinging pain in your head.
He pouts. “I’m not gonna kill you. I need you.”
He sets you back down onto the pool table in the garage, going back to talk to the millions watching him and you now. 
You don’t see what he types but from the looks of it he disagrees severely. “No I’m not going to kill her! She’s the Bonnie to my Clyde.” 
If anything, this was going to be Romeo and Juliet. Only you weren’t dying for this.
You feel around for anything on the table with your limited view. A ball, a stick, anything. You grasp a hard triangular shape, gripping it with with the little strength and adrenaline you can muster. 
He’s too distracted by what everyone’s saying to notice you behind him, rack high in the air. You yell as you bring the rack down to the nape of his neck, he goes down hard and fast but you’re quicker. 
You pounce and straddle him, bringing the rack up again to gain more momentum and aim down at his face.
He’s cries out in pain, hands coming to shield his face. “What are you doing?! This isn’t how it’s supposed to be!” 
“Sorry babe. Change of plans.” You grit through deep and fast breaths. You get a few more hits in before he seemingly goes limp. 
Your chest heaves, trying to get back to normal as you wait with bated breath for any sign of movement from him. You make a move to climb off of him, seeing the phone thrown to the side, still documenting the entirety of what just happened. 
You toss aside the rack, crawling to the phone as you read the comments. Things calling for Bobby to come out, some asking if Julia was okay, others insulting Kurt and you. One catches your attention.
Watch out!
You turn in the nick of time, avoiding Kurt’s swing of the rack. You try to crawl away but he grasps your ankle and drags you back. You manage to get a kick in with your other foot, earning you a second or two. Kurt bellows out in pain.
He persists, climbing on top of you to grab your throat firmly. The action and pressure of it is enough for you to abandon the phone and try to pry him off. 
“We could’ve been great!” He yells, his bloody face painting yours. You cough roughly, trying to get some air back into your constricting lungs.
You can’t hold him off any longer, and if you don’t get any oxygen, he’ll win his twisted legacy.
Remembering the phone, you let go of his hands and feel around until you are able to grab it firmly and hit him in the eye with it. He falls back and screams in pain. 
You’re on top again, taking hold of the collar of his shirt to hold him as you attack with abandon.
“We’re.” Hit.
“Only.” Kurt groans.
 “As. Good.” Another dastardly good hit.
 “As. Our. Last.” He sputters, choking.
“Performance.” You let a guttural yell rip from your chest as you deliver the final blow. This time he stays down. 
The silence rings in your ear long enough to spur you out of the moment. You can hear sirens in the background, not long now. You glance back to your anonymous lover, your hand coming to lift the hair out of his bloody face. 
Your fingers linger on his face for a second. You bring the phone to your face and laugh mirthlessly, “Fuck you all.” 
You climb off of Kurt, heading to the welcoming breeze of the outside world. 
You sit on the porch chair, covered head to toe in a mixture of blood, eyes fluttering shut as the sirens get louder with each second. 
You smirk.

Beatle tag (cause why not ✌💗) 
I’m new to this fandom online, so what best way to present myself but doing this (plz don't kill me guys I come in peace).
 But I do have to give an special to @sgt-revolver cause thanks to their post I decided to do it. 
How long have you been a fan ?: About two years if I’m not wrong, but god it has been two intense ones. Long story short, this band never was part of my life (grew up in a different culture) until the day I was reading some fanfiction in AO3 and stumbled across one about them. I then found out they were the guys behind “Let it be” and “Here comes the sun” so I decided do dig even deeper..... (Now I’m here simping and crying to their music at 2am) 🙃
 Favorite Beatle: Used to be Paul (man got a charm) but when I better discovered George as a hole human being, and not only a Beatle, I went 💥. Tho, sometimes I do get frustrated with him and stay on John’s side cause he was lowkey relatable and a big bi-disaster mood. (I suddenly feel bad for Rings.... srry bro ) 
Favorite era for music: At the beginning I didn't like the mop top era and practically only listened from Help! to then end, but now I appreciate each period as a part of the band’s musical history and can’t help to fangirl to most songs. (Tho I’ll always have a soft spot for 1966)
Favorite era for lewks: Each Beatles had its own I think. Ringo as a teddy boy (he looks like the bad boy of your dreams), George in 65` (longer hair but not to long and just overlay hotness) and Paul/John in 66`. (The perfect balance between early and late looks)
Favorite song: Guess it depends on my mood, but it’s surely a tight between “Strawberry fields forever”, “Happiness is a warm gun”, “Lovely Rita” “While my guitar gently weeps”, “Don't bother me” and “Across the universe”. (This is such an unfair question xd)
Favorite album: Honestly I just can’t decide.. Its prob either “The Beatles (aka white album)”, “With the Beatles” or “Revolver” 
Unpopular/Controversial Beatles opinion: “Revolution 9″ is not an unlistenable song and has an actual artistic value. I mean, I don’t think is a song meant to be listened during a car ride, but I do think it encapsulates pretty well the chaotic and changing vibe of the late 60s. This song makes you feel unwell because it’s meant to. Despite that, I do believe it should not have been included on the album, but rather as a John/Yoko project. (Ik Geo had a input though)
A song everyone loves but you dislike: Never was the biggest fan of “Come together” or “With a little help from my friends”. They are not necessarily bad, but rather average for me
A song everyone dislikes but you love: “Run for your life”... I know the lyrics are quite nasty but its so catchy and I love George’s guitar in it. I also really like “Dizzy Miss Lizzy”, but I don’t know if it really is that unpopular among people
Your fantasy involving The Beatles: The PG one or the ??.. 
JK, but I would have love to meet them during their cavern/casbah days. Like about 1961, just to chat with them about rock n roll and even jam some songs. (Even if I’m not sure that I would love to do that as a girl or a guy). And I sincerely wish I could just have some deep conversations with George and John while we share a joint . I just wish I could have known them better... 
Tell us about the moment you knew you were a fan: When returning home after a long school day I decided to look after some live material (At the time I only knew like 4 songs). I put YouTube on my tv, and found “She loves you” . I was not the same girl after watching that video. If I could explain how I suddenly felt so much joy and excitement looking at them that I even started singing and dancing. The rest is history 😉
Did you ever have a genuine ‘The Beatles suck !’ phase before becoming a fan?: Because their music was not around me 24/7 growing up, I never got fed up with their music. For me almost everything was new and interesting, so I never had a hater phase 
Favorite Beatle’s book: Have not read any for the moment, but I’m dying to buy Cynthia’s and May’s books. (Also the autobiography “I me mine” by George) 
Thoughts on the old generation of fans: Even if the few experiences I’ve had with them have not been good, I know most of them are chill people. I also love some podcasts made by first or second gen fans. The only thing that I dislike, is the average boomer who will claim they know more than you cause they were alive at the time, even if the only song they know its “Hey Jude” . (Or those who treat John as a saint, and blame the hole break-up on Paul... smh)
If Hollywood were to make a high budget Beatles biopic, what is one thing you desperately hope they include?: I wish they wont do it (We already got enough movies), but if they do something, it would be better if it was a series and not a film. If it had to happen, they better not forget how young the guys really were and how they were actual people. I know they were ground-breaking in so many ways, but they were also human beings with many defaults and even a bit naïve in some aspects. If you only give me a wife-beater (nasty) John, delicate flower Paul, silent George and dumb Ringo, the cartoon series has done a better job than you. 
Do you read/write fanfic: One word.... Yes... *Hides her unfinished drafts*
Are you the only one in your family/friend group to enjoy them?: Sadly yes. I have to force my dad to play some Beatle music while driving cause most of the music he plays is raegetton, and even if I’m proud of my Latino roots.. I’ll do salsa or merengue anytime but not some Bad Bunny ok. 
Are you a shipper?:  Yup
Favorite movie starring/made by them?: Help!.. I mean I also love AHDN, but it’s just so funny to see them run around being high af as they play music despite Ringo being in mortal danger. (Also the visuals we get each song just give me such a MTV vibe. Its genuinely beautiful)
Do you believe in McLennon?: *smirks at the camera*
General opinions on McLennon?: Oh boy. The Lennon/McCartney relationship is one that seems out of my grandma telenovelas. From Paris to the breakup, their story is one of up and downs, but they never really stopped loving each other. Not even death could stop their link as Paul still dreams of him and thinks about John when composing songs. I understand that not everyone may be convinced that something really happened, but I think we all should be open to the possibility. 
If you got to change ONE thing about their history, what would be and why?: Brian’s death. The beginning of the end was the moment he passed away. With Brian the band would still have broke up (All things must pass, even the good ones), but it would have been less messed up. No Paul trying to take the lead a bit too much, Apple Corps probably being better handled and no Allen Klein messing up everything. (And probably no Yoko in the studio but that may be a bit of a stretch) 
What song has the best vocals?: As a group, “Because” it’s probably the one. Such a simple, yet perfectly well put vocals. The peak of their talent for harmonizing in my opinion. In another side “Oh Darling!” is prob Paul best and John’s voice in “This Boy” always get me
What song do you feel had no effort put into it?: Prob an unpopular opinion but “Eight Days a Week” is such a basic song. It’s not innovative, it just uses the formula, and I feel like around this time the guys were kind of tired and just fabricated the song to be a single. It simply not feels genuine, and for me it shows the biggest problem from the “Beatles for Sale” era. 
What is a well talked moment in Beatles history you genuinely believe to be false?: The way Yoko met John. The most known story is that they met each other at a Yoko art gallery, but many sources (such a Cynthia or Brian personal assistant) tell us a complete different truth. I do believe she knew the band, stalked John and force herself into his life, despite of the romantic tale she keeps repeating. 
What is something you KNOW to be true, but often gets erased in their history: John. So many things about John. Many see him as only a funny character and ignore so many cues that he was a man struggling with his own self esteem to the point of having eating disorders. Not forgetting his fluid sexuality, the fact that many think that as house husband all his problems went away or that he was a wife beater. John was more than the “Imagine” martyr or  monster so many people (even some fans) make out of him.
Least favorite look from a Beatle(s): Ringo in the Help! movie. Horrible mushroom hair 😂
Favorite look from a Beatle(s):  George Harrison in the “Hey Bulldog”/”Lady Madonna” videoclip. (I also want that cherry SG Standard so bad omg)
I really don’t know how many others have done it but here are my tags 
@rocknroll-imagines @moreofthatdrowse @cultofbeatle @joan-deserved-the-silver-hammer
Thanks a lot guys !! ❤✌🥦🐘🎵😎

The One Where Steve Proposes (Or Not)
Summary: Someone takes a picture of Steve and posts it on Instagram. The group chat goes nuts, Clint is way too emotional about all this and things are not exactly as they seem. Don't trust what you see on the internet, that's the first rule!
Tags: Stony, brief mention of Bruce/Thor
Chapters: 1/2
AO3
If you like it, leave a comment or send an ask!
Hawkman ― OMG OMG OMG DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT
Black Swan ― WTF Barton, saw what
Hawkman ― HOLD ON
Hawkman ― I’M GONNA SEND YOU THE THING
Big B ― What’s going on?
Black Swan ― idk
Hawkman sent a photo.
Tumblr media
Black Swan ― Holy shit
Hawkman ― I KNOW
Hawkman ― STEVE IS GONNA PROPOSE Y’ALL
Big B ― Let’s not jump to conclusions here. I mean, you can’t even see if he’s holding anything
Black Swan ― Steve just walked in. He’s smiling. He’s holding a tiny Tiffany’s bag
Big B ― Holy shit Steve is going to propose
Hawkman ― STEVE IS GONNA PROPOSE
“Hey, what are you guys talking about?”
Natasha quickly, but discreetly, hid the screen of her phone from Steve.
“Just discussing what we’re going to order tonight”, she lied flawlessly and without blinking, “Are you and Tony having dinner with us?”
“No. I’m taking Tony to Mario’s tonight”.
“Oh. That’s where you two had your first date, right?”
“Yeah”, Steve chuckled, taking a bottle of water from the fridge, “How do you know that?”
“I’m a spy, I know everything”.
“Okay. Well, I’m going to take a shower and get ready. JARVIS, can you make sure Tony doesn’t forget our date tonight, please?”
“’I’ll make sure Mr. Stark is on time, Captain”.
“Good luck, Steve”, Natasha can’t help but say.
Steve looked at her a bit confused. “Uh, thanks?” And left the kitchen.
Hawkman ― Nat
Hawkman ― Nat
Hawkman ― Nat
Hawkman ― Nat
Hawkman ― Nat
Hawkman ― Nat
Hawkman ― Nat
Black Swan ― He’s going to do it tonight.
Hawkman ― OMG
Big B ― Wow, really? Where?
Black Swan ― Mario’s. They had their first date there. It’s sweet.
Hawkman ― OUR BOYS ARE GROWING UP SO FAST
Black Swan ― Please try to control yourself.
Big B ― It’s a pretty special moment, I get why he’s so excited.
ThunderThighs ― GREETINGS, MY FRIENDS. I SEE THE GOOD CAPTAIN HAS DECIDED TO WED THE MAN OF IRON. A MUCH JOYOUS OCCASION. I HAVE ALREADY BESTOWED MY CONGRATULATIONS UPON THE SON OF STARK OVER THIS HAPPY NEWS.
Hawkman ― YOU DID WHAT
Big B ― Oh, no
Black Swan ― Shit, Tony must be freaking out. Clint, penthouse NOW.
JARVIS ― Mr. Stark may surprise you with his reaction, Miss Romanoff.
Hawkman ― Uh, did anyone know JARVIS can invade the group chat?
Hawkman ― Also, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, THOR, don’t tell Steve or anyone else about the proposal!
ThunderThighs ― HAVE I DONE SOMETHING WRONG? IS IT NOT CUSTOMARY TO CONGRATULATE A FRIEND WHEN THEY ARE TO BE WED?
Big B ― Just come to our room, I’ll explain everything.
ThunderThighs ― AYE, YOU CAN EXPLAIN THESE CONFUSING CUSTOMS WHILE WE BATHE.
Hawkman ― Oh man, not in the group chat, COME ON
Natasha and Clint were the first to arrive. They stepped out of the elevator and looked around. They expected to see Tony pacing back and forth, pulling his hair from his head, panicked at the very idea that his partner of three years wanted to spend the rest of his life with him. They did not expect to find Tony in his closet, an excited smile on his face as he looked through his clothes.
“What do you think, JARVIS? Too formal?”
“Yes, Mr. Stark. I think the tuxedo is a bit formal for dinner at Mario’s”.
“Right. Something more casual. Maybe the blue shirt? Steve likes that one”.
“Uh, what are you doing?”
Tony turned and smiled at Natasha and Clint, who were standing in his doorway, looking thoroughly confused.
“Hey. You need something? I’m kind of busy, I have a date with Steve”.
“Yeah, we know. Thor… told you about the date?”
Tony laughed. “Oh, yeah. He congratulated me on my upcoming engagement and offered to teach me a few tricks for the honeymoon”.
“Yeah, sounds like Thor”, Clint replied, snickering.
“So, you… seem to be fine with it”.
This time, it was Tony’s turn to look confused. “Why wouldn’t I be?”
“I don’t know, I mean, I guess we thought you would be a little freaked out over this. You know, marriage, commitment”.
“I don’t know why everyone thinks I’m afraid of commitment. I proposed to Pepper when we were together, you know. I like the idea of getting married, of spending the rest of my life with someone I love who loves me back”, Tony said, taking a navy blue shirt from his wardrobe and putting it close to the door, “Just because I slept around when I was younger doesn’t mean I have an aversion to commitment”.
“That actually makes a lot of sense”.
“Great. Now can you two please get the hell out? I need to take a shower”.
Steve was waiting for Tony in the communal kitchen. Natasha, Clint and Thor were sitting at the kitchen island while Bruce cooked. The captain kept sneaking glances at the elevator, absently touching the pocket on the inside of his jacket. Every time he did it, Clint would squeal quietly, earning himself a slap from Natasha. When Steve turned to look at his teammates, he found them all staring at him with knowing smiles.
“Uh, is everything okay? You’re all acting weird”.
“Everything is fine, Cap. We’re just happy that Bruce is making his famous chilli for us”.
Steve narrowed his eyes, clearly not believing a word out of Clint’s mouth, but he didn’t have time to argue. He turned back as soon as he heard the familiar ping of the elevator and smiled at his partner, who exited the elevator.
“Hi”, Tony greeted with a big smile.
“Hi. You look incredible”, Steve whispered before pulling his boyfriend in for a long kiss. They were suddenly interrupted by a loud sniff.
“I’m sorry”, Clint said, clearly holding back tears, “I’m just so excited for the chilli”.
Steve just stared at him disbelieving while Tony glared from behind him.
“So, we should go”.
“Right, yeah”, Steve replied, still confused, “we should go”.
As they left, Steve could have sworn he heard Natasha say something like you’re such a human disaster, Barton.
Mario’s was completely empty. All the tables had been removed, leaving only one in the middle of the restaurant, with a white tablecloth, two blue orchids and some lit candles.
“You got the whole place just for us?”
“I know how much you hate when people keep interrupting us. I thought maybe we could have the whole night for ourselves”.
Tony smiled and pulled his boyfriend down, giving him a quick kiss on the mouth. “You’re absolutely perfect, did you know that?”
“Ah, Anthony! Steven! Welcome!”
“Good evening, Mario. How’s business?”
“Good, good. Come, sit, we have a special menu just for you”.
They sat down at the table and, after a quick look at the menu, ordered their respective plates. While they waited, they talked about their week ― Steve told Tony all about the new recruits at SHIELD who thought Captain America was really swell until he started making them drop and give a hundred pushups; Tony told Steve about the shareholder’s meeting he had had earlier that day and how he had finally convinced the others to green light his new green energy project. When the plates came, they ate and talked about their plans for the weekend ― there was an exhibit at the MoMA Steve really wanted to see ― and reminisced about their first date and the early years of their relationship.
By the time dessert came, Tony couldn’t hold himself still. He couldn’t wait anymore. He picked at his cake, glancing at Steve.
“Tony. I just wanted to say… You know you mean the world to me, right?”
This is it, Tony thought, nodding at his boyfriend with a smile, this is it.
“I love you. And I want to make you happy. Always”.
“I love you too”, he replied, his hands slightly shaking.
“So, I got you something. Something I thought you might like”.
Steve retrieved a little black box from the inside of his jacket and put it on the table in front of Tony, smiling.
Tony couldn’t contain his joy. His smile was so big his cheeks actually hurt. He slowly opened the box, the words already forming on his lips.
“I d… I…”, his smile faltered as he stared at the little opened box, “wow. Uh, this is…”
“You don’t like it?” Steve asked, confused, “It’s just like the one you broke the last time we fought the Wrecking Crew. It took some time because they no longer make this kind of watch. I thought you might like it”.
“I loved it”, Tony replied with a fake smile, taking the watch from the box and staring intently at it, “I absolutely loved it. It’s beautiful, thank you”.
“Are you sure? You sound weird. It’s okay if you didn’t like it”.
“No, I like it. Yeah. So, I’m done with my meal. Maybe we should go”.
Steve, still confused with his boyfriend’s reaction, nodded. “Okay. Yeah, let’s go home”.
They stayed silent all the way back to the tower. Steve tried to get Tony to talk, but the brunette would only answer his questions with a nod and a curt reply, all the while with a smile that Steve knew he reserved specially for the press.
“So”, Steve said, pressing the elevator button.
“I have some work to get done. Otherwise Pepper is going to have my head”, Tony said with a humorless laugh.
“I’ll wait for you”.
“It’s gonna be a long night so… I’ll see you tomorrow, okay? Thank you for the watch”, he didn’t wait for an answer. As soon as the doors to the elevator opened, he ran out, not even glancing back at his boyfriend ― boyfriend, not fiancé ― as the doors closed.
Steve stood there, not really understanding what he had done wrong.

Paper Stars (Sanders Sides AU)
Hey so this is one of my few fanfics I wrote. It’s admittedly not great but after @fangirltothefullest made a story description for an AU... I just wanted to do something. I hope it’s alright! ^^
Wattpad version: https://my.w.tt/oXfIWECDpY
Post this was based off of: https://fangirltothefullest.tumblr.com/post/186271732555/paper-stars-for-the-fic-titles
Warnings: Lil bit depressing but otherwise it’s completely fine!
Word count: 1555

11:03pm January 14th
The desk clocks time was two minutes behind but it was close enough. Patton sat up from his bed and sighed. He couldn't sleep knowing this would be his last day in the orphanage. It was a pretty crappy orphanage but 12 years of memories really makes you nostalgic of the few good times. Patton stared at his jar on the same end table as the clock. It was half full with little blue colored stars he made. Each of them made to symbolize a wish, a dream, a hope that he wanted. None of them had ever come true for him. Patton sighed and grabbed the jar before making his way out of his room.
  He swiftly went up to the top floor and came to a ladder as well as a latch that lead to the roof. Patton climbed up and sat on the roof like he often did when sleep was absent. It was a surprisingly cold night for Florida and the sky was open. Patton hugged his jar close.
  17 years old, going on 18. Hard to believe. Getting to go make a living for himself. Course he had no job, or money, or a place to stay or food, let alone any plan whatsoever, but at least he could get out of this place... right?
Forget it.
  Patton had lived his whole life being optimistic. He didn't know how he could possibly be anymore. He was done, going to spend his life on the streets, dive in the dumpster for a meal, beg on the streets forever. Patton stood up and gripped his jar. Was he angry? Sad? Scared? Confused? Maybe all of those. He couldn't tell but he didn't care. Wishes get you nowhere. All they do is build false hope for you to get hurt from.
  Patton looked at the jar in his hand while standing back up. So much for this. Spent his life making stupid paper shapes. He held the jar up high and threw it as hard as he could onto the roof, breaking the glass and sending stars flying. He turned away from the broken remains with his eyes welling up with water.
Patton remembered the days when he was happy still. Those stars he learned to make when he was five and still with a family. He remembered the skill all the way into the orphanage. His little brain remembering the fairytales about people wishing on stars, he would make his own and wish on them. Eventually he had so much he could fill a jar, then five, then a dozen. No matter how hard he wished, no dream came true. At 15 he started giving the stars away to little kids, telling them to wish upon its papery cover and it will come true. He gave away all his stars except that half empty jar. Those stars bringing joy for a few moments... it was comforting when he made them. He would be comforted when the kids faces lit up. Hope was destructive, but it's comforting anyways.
Patton realized he made a mistake. He turned around to find the stars all blowing away off the roof. He ran after them panicked, yelling, "No wait! Please! It's all I have left!" The wind doesn't answer to anyone though and they all flew away, leaving Patton in tears. He finally let the warm drops fall down his face. Stupid. Shouldn't have gotten so angry. A tear fell off his face and landed on something that sounded like... paper? Patton looked down to see a single little star, dark blue with light blue stripes, trapped under his foot. He moved his foot and picked it up. Pat flashed a smile before sitting down and holding it close to his chest.
  It was stupid but he began to wish on it. In a soft voice he pleaded, "Please... I wish... I wish that if I can't be happy, I want to make others happy. I know none of my wishes come true but... please..." His voice cracked at the last word. The tears blurred his vision and he began to fully sob. He put a hand over his mouth to muffle it even though nobody could hear it. It was instinct for him. He cried for a good long while before he heard a warm and comforting voice speak to him.
"Hey... it's alright buddy... just breathe."
  Patton jumped and looked up. There was a pale, almost white, figure crouched to his level in front of him. They had purple hair and a patched black and purple hoodie. Their face had eye shadow under their eyes and showed empathy. Strange Patton didn't hear them sooner. He wiped one of his eyes and tried to talk normally despite it coming out shakily. "S-sorry I didn't hear you come onto the roof. Who are you?"
  The pale man shrugged and sat down next to Patton. "People call me Anxiety cause of how I suddenly appear without warning. Feel free to call me whatever." Patton sniffled and stared confused at him. "Anxiety? Well that's not a nice name exactly. Don't you have a name your parents gave you?" Anxiety shook his head. "Nope. Don't got parents. Didn't bother to name myself really." Patton sighed and stared up at the stars for a second. "Remy... no... how about I call you Virgil?" Virgil nodded. "Sure I like that one. Don't mind you calling me that." Patton smiles and looks at him. "I take it you're an orphan then."
"Not exactly."
"You have a family then?"
"Nope. I'm not really family material."
"Why's that?"
"I'm an astral being I suppose. Not god level but born with a star."
Patton raised an eyebrow. "You expect me to believe that? That's impossible." "Impossible? No. Unlikely? Yes." Virgil took Pattons blue paper star from his hoodie pocket and held it up to him, who in response gasped and looked down at his hands to find the star truly was gone. "Hey! Give it back!" Virgil smiled. "Fine take it back if you don't want your wish that is." Patton stopped and stared at Virgil in slight shock. No way he could know about that. Virgil turned the star over and in his hands. "Thought so. Anyways I'm here to grant your wish buddy. Lucky you! You wanna help others and I know just the thing to help you. However you have some terms and conditions. One, You have to trust me. My magic only works when you have faith in me. If you don't trust me my magic is unable to come to you. Two, you have to swear to use what my magic conjures only for good. I don't help selfish people. Three, you have to pay me. Say I think this star will be nice payment. So how about it Pat? You willing to make your wi-" "Yes! Yes please!"
  Patton put a hand over his mouth. "Ah... sorry... didn't mean to... got over excited." Virgil waved him away. "Eh don't worry about it. Isn't like this is a run of the mill offer. Comes around once a lifetime you know. So anyways, I got a plan. I'll allow you to feel others emotions. Just by looking at a person you'll know what their feeling. You can help people who are feeling negatively to cheer up. Could be sitting and talking to them or offering them something. Even if you're not content, you can cheer others up." Patton's eyes lit up. "Alright! You wanted me to follow your rules in exchange right?" Virgil nodded in response and stretched out his hand. "If you're sure you want it, shake my hand to seal the deal."
  Patton didn't think twice before taking Virgil's hand into his own and shaking it. Pats star flew out of Virgil's other hand and glowed a bright blue. The star becoming specks of light that flew around Patton before going inside his body. The world suddenly seemed to become darker besides Virgil who seemed to be brighter? Slightly glowing. Patton instantly knew Virgil was anxious and happy at the same time, like it was a normal thing to simply know ones emotions. As natural as knowing up and down. His face filled with wonder and he felt happy. It was subtle happiness but it felt good finally being truly happy. Virgil snickered and he was less on edge. "Well you certainly perked up." Patton nodded and clenched his fists excitedly. "Yeah! This is so cool! You really are amazing Virgil! I don't know how I can possibly repay you! I mean the stars gone so really I didn't pay you." Virgil smiled softly and put a hand on Patton's shoulder. "You already have. Your believing in me. Nobody's done that before."
  They sat together the rest of the night, watching the sun come up on Patton's 18th birthday. Once the orange had faded completely from the sky Patton stood up and walked over to the latch. "Hey Virg... you thinking of staying here a little longer? Not on the roof but um... on Earth. I would like to have some company and maybe... we could be friends?" Virgil smiled and nodded. "Sure! You gotta teach me how to make those paper stars after all!"

Oh my God 4 TIMES? Talk about all of them! Or just your favorite parts I'm sorry if you don't want to
omg okay
im gonna put this under a read more because theres four different stories and theyre quite long but basically this is the story of my budding acquaintanceship with andy mientus
just stick with me here because they keep getting better with each time
so the first time i met him was at the bway flea market in september and it was just a quick lil meet and greet thing with him and michael and tbh michael was SO NICE and i was SO NERVOUS that i don’t even think i made eye contact with andy once
then the second time, this is where it starts getting wild (this was less than a month ago wtf)
so i went to go see wicked in orlando and after the show i walked around the building to find the stagedoor. and once i found it i went back to my car, which was in a parking garage about a five-minute walk away. once i got there, i grabbed the gift i had gotten for andy (i don’t wanna say what it was because yall will think im ridiculous for buying this for him but lets just say it was a gift he had expressed wanting and it was vvvvv expensive) and then i walked back to the theater. so i was walking to the stagedoor when i saw the group of people that had been there earlier walking towards me (away from stagedoor) so i was like “oh no did i miss him oh no oh no oh no” but then i looked behind the group of people and ANDY WAS RIGHT THERE WALKING TOWARDS ME
so naturally im like !!!!!!! and hes just texting and walking and im like do i approach him?? do i not approach him??? but i wasn’t about to let my anxiety stop me from meeting him so i was like “oh! andy! hi!” and he looked up at me and he’s real cute and he was like “oh, hi!” and then he walked over to me
and i gave him his gift and he was super gracious about it it was super sweet and then i asked how he was and he was like “i’m good, i’m feeling a bit under the weather right now” and i told him to feel better ya know things like that and we got a picture it was cute
and so it was kinda just the right moment for us to part ways so we were about to do that when it turns out we were going in the same direction. i was going back to the parking garage and he was gonna wait on his uber and so we ended up walking side by side
so he was like “so how did u like the show?” and i was like wWELL because i had missed the first act due to forgetting my tickets at home and having to go back and get them because im a dumbass and i told him this and he goes “OH NO and most of my parts are in act one!!!!” and he was laughing and my heart melted i just love him and i was like IM SORRY but u were still great in march of witch hunters and everything and he was like awww thnx
and so then we said our goodbyes and he thanked me again for the gift and he was like “well hopefully you’ll get to see the show again sometime” and i was like “oh yeah definitely” knowing full well that i already had tickets for four more dates in tampa
so then we parted ways and he was just standing there and i was standing at a crosswalk like twenty feet away and i had to wait for it to say i could go and i just. we made eye contact it was awkward but then it said i could walk and i RAN
but IT GETS BETTER so i went back to my car and tweeted him thanking him for stopping and everything and then i started driving home and i called my best friend to rant to her about the whole thing
so after i hung up the phone all i saw on my screen was a twitter notif that said
Andy Mientus
Also, I’m sorry if I was a little despondent- my stomach is
and i FLIPPED OUT and checked my twitter and he had followed me and everything and i immediately called my best friend back and was like like WHAT DO I DO and she was like “well u could start by reading the dm” 
so basically andy had opened my gift and he was FREAKING OUT idk if i wanna post the full thing on here because ya know privacy but he was so sweet and he had sent me this paragraph saying that the gift was “crazy generous” and he was like r u sure u don’t want to keep it for urself??? and then he said “No one has ever given me something so generous before so I’m like, panicking lol” and then he apologized for if he seemed tired because his stomach was acting up, which he said hes “a wuss about”
so i literally pulled over to respond to this boy’s goddamn dm and i was like no u keep it i got it for u things like that and he responded saying wow thank u and then he told me that he wanted to post about it everywhere but he didn’t want people to think they should spend a bunch of money on him to buy a shoutout and then like five minutes later he complimented my art and the stones i got him as well and i just responded like omg no i never expected u to post about them and even if u do u don’t have to say it was a gift or anything
so that was the first night and im still so… shook
but the third time i met him got even better,,, (this was this past tuesday)
so i went to go see wicked in tampa and earlier andy had tweeted me saying that yes he was gonna be on and he was gonna stagedoor that night so i was hype
so after the show i went down to stagedoor and there were literally only two other guys there. and the stagedoor is kinda like,,, its a clear glass door and you can see into this lobby area from outside and i saw andy in the lobby area and he was talking to like a security guard or smth and i was like ohshitohshitohshit because i knew he was about to come out and i think its natural to get nervous when things like this happen
so he finally walked out and he went up to the two guys standing a little bit away from me and he goes “hey man.” and they talked for approximately 2 seconds and then andy looked at me and he just…….. okay andy has this face he does where he get really excited and he opens his mouth and his eyes get really big its like a mix between the :o and the :D face and HE LOOKED AT ME AND DID THAT
so the next thing i know, andy mientus is walking towards me with his arms open and he’s hugging me and im hugging him and my face is in his jacket and hes like “HI!!! how are you??!” and im like “IM SO GOOD”
and he says “so u finally saw act one” and i was like “i did” and he was like “howd you like it?” and i was like IT WAS SO GOOD and i told him that hes actually a pretty good dancer and his eyes get all big and he puts his hand over his heart and he goes “REALLY?” and i was like ya!! and he told me “oh my god thank u so much i had to work so hard to make it look that way” it was the purest thing
and idk how it came up but i told him that i was coming back to see the show on friday (which was like,, two days ago now oh my god) and he goes “friday? ur seeing it on friday?” and i was like “yea friday night”  and he goes “…….would youuuuu wanna go on a tour backstage with me that night?? because we do this thing with broadwaycares where the actors give people who donate a certain amount tours backstage and if u wanna just tag along we can just hang out”
and at this point my brain is going a mile a minute and i was like “omg yeah sure” and i probably said “that’s awesome” and “that’s so nice” at least eight times each
and he was like “okay great! u can just walk in through the stagedoor that night and tell those guys in there that ur with me and they should get it all figured out” and i was like…….. this is my life now
so that was about it for my third time but THIS FRIDAY was my most recent encounter with mr. mientus and whew what a story
on my way to the show, andy dmed me again on twitter and he was like “whats ur name for the list tonight?” and i told him while freaking out because not only did he remember that i was coming but he remembered my twitter and then he was like okay cool i don’t think you’ll need ur ID or anything and then he sent me another message that said “Enjoy the show and see you after!”
so after the show, i was nervous as hell and he dmed me right after he had gotten offstage apparently and it just said “Come through the stage door” like yes andy i know but i didn’t actually see the dm until i was going home lol
so i walked to the stagedoor and i saw andy in the back of the lobby area just chillin and im just now realizing that he was there to pick me up aw and so i walked in and the security guard at the desk next to me started FREAKING OUT he was like “WHO ARE YOU YOURE NOT ALLOWED IN HERE” and andy started walking over and he was like “oh no shes with me” and i kinda just gestured towards him and the guard let us go lol
so we walked back to where andy had been standing which was near some doors and he goes “hey” and i was like “hey!” and then he opened his arms again and i thought to myself “i love my life” before hugging him and then he called out to the security guard that had just yelled at me and he was like “hey can we get buzzed in” (referring to them opening the doors for us to let us go backstage) and he said to me “thanks for coming!” and i was like “thanks for having me” and apparently the security guard had not heard him earlier so andy waves his arm over towards the desk and shouts “HEY CAN WE GET BUZZED IN” but then someone opened the door from the inside so he was like “oh! nevermind lets go on a touuuuur follow me”
then we went through the doors and he was like “so this is backstage” and hes like walking in front of me and HE WALKS SO FAST I WAS TRYNA KEEP UP and usually im the fast walker but no and then he showed me the hair and makeup department since the door was open and then we went through some double doors (he held the door open for me what a gentleman) and suddenly i was on stage right backstage of wicked
so the other people who were supposed to be going on the tour had to be gathered up and guided backstage and everything so me and andy had time to talk for like literally ten minutes and we talked about where hes currently living and the election (i talked about politics with andy mientus rt ur goals) and the show and all of the huge props around us and things like that we went over a variety of topics
then all of the people who were going on the tour arrived and there were probably like 8 of them and they all just walked in on me and andy talking and i wasn’t even mad that they interrupted us i was like…… i feel like i shouldn’t be here but it was all good
so i wont go through the whole tour but just know that andy is THE CUTEST TOUR GUIDE most of the people on the tour had literally no clue about anything in theatre (andy had explained to me that this would probably happen) so he explained stuff really well and he knows so much about wicked and the show and im never gonna watch it the same way again
so once the tour was over (it was probably like twenty minutes long) he was like “well i think that’s it! thank u guys so much for coming and donating and seeing the show i hope u liked my tour” and then he was like “now im gonna walk u guys out to stagedoor… maybe you’ll get to sign some autographs for people” and everyone laughed but i was just like ur stupid
and then he led us out but on the way he showed us the wardrobe department because it was open and the sign in sheet and stuff so that was cool and then we got to the door to enter the lobby area so he was saying bye to all of us and holding the door open to let us all out and when i was going out he looked at me and went “hey” and i was like “hey” and he went in for a big hug it was the best moment of my life and singlehandedly saved my 2017 and he was like “i’ll see ya” and i was like “oh im coming back im seeing the show again next weekend” and he was like “oh okay great!!! i’ll see u then!” hes the sweetest lil angel and then i left so yeah that’s been my life as of late
tldr; ive hugged andy mientus three separate times and he knows who i am and hes the most kind person you will ever meet and i can’t wait to see him again
