Orchid, mahonia, nutmeg. Hope u had a good flight!!
I did! 8hours baby we did it 😎
orchid ⇢ what’s a song you consider to be perfect?
ladyfingers by Herb Alpert is pretty perfect. So smooth and rich and always the vibe. Sad? It’ll make you happy. Happy? It’ll make you happier.
mahonia ⇢ what place, thing, activity inspires you most and how do you express yourself when it does?
watching movies always gets the inspo sparking, which is good because I watch a shit ton of movies. The quality of the movie doesn’t even matter, if it’s a bad movie I’ll start brainstorming ways I would make it better, if it’s fantastic I’ll dissect it and see what makes it tick. And when I get inspired by them, I’ll usually write or make some art. Just something physical and tangible that shows how much a piece of media has impacted me
nutmeg ⇢ how’s your room/home decorated? do you have a specific theme or style going on?
Hmm I don’t really have a theme, it’s just a bunch of things I really like and a lot of red. Like a loooot of red. A red wall, red sheets, red throw blanket. Yea. I got a random wicker rocking chair in one corner and a loft bed and a flower wall and anime posters next to Tyler the creator posters and a random ass fur carpet that I got becuase it feels good. There’s no plants and it’s like brown wood on white wood on synthetic fur on sparkly wallpaper. There’s a lot going on but I like it because it’s things I like. I got my statue collection and nail and art shit and the first letter of my name just hanging up there. Idk it’s a vibe (and a fake neon nightlight because I’m a baby who’s scared of the dark AND WHAT AB IT??)

M/C eating something deadly to demons but harmless to humans. But the brothers don’t know that?
some good angst right here.
Leviathan 
He gets super pale, he almost screams and panics. 
Levi almost shakes you, proclaiming that you should be dead. 
You are feeling fully fine. 
Levi is close to passing out. 
Solomon calmly explains that this food is fine for humans. 
Levi is still worried, I mean you can't just eat dangerous stuff like that. 
At least you are fine so he eventually calms down.
Just don't do this again, you are giving him a heart attack. 
  Beelzebub 
He just grabbed a bunch of stuff to eat from the local devimart. 
Somehow he accidentally got this extremely poisonous fruit without notice. 
You are just in the kitchen and grab this fruit out of the pile. 
You think it's a harmless fruit, it looks similar to a different fruit, so you just wash it and take a bite before Beel notices. 
He knows right away how bad this fruit is, Beel once ate it and almost died from it. 
Beel gets very pale and just grabs you and runs to Lucifer's office, to get you help right away. 
You are pretty confused to be honest while Beel is in panic mode, with you being carried like a sack of rice by him. 
Beel explains the whole situation to Lucifer, and it takes a bit for Lucifer to understand the problem. 
You now also get that you apparently ate something dangerous. 
Lucifer then calmly explains that Beel has been mistaken, the fruit you ate is absolutely harmless to humans, but he also reminds you to be more careful about what you eat. 
Beel is super relieved. 
He is just so glad that you weren't harmed. 
Beel will now triple check everything that you eat. 
  Mammon
He's got a bunch of stuff that he wants to sell. 
Including an ingredient for poison. 
Mammon just has it in a stack of other random things. 
You are just looking for a snack, Mammon tells you to just eat something that he got from the kitchen earlier. 
Mammon has these snacks right next to the poisonous ingredient, somehow it looks like candy so you figure it's edible and eat some of it. 
You then offer a bit to Mammon. 
He realizes what it is and becomes pale as a ghost when you tell him that you just ate some of it. 
Mammon panics and tries to call Satan, who doesn't pick up. 
He gets so desperate that he calls Lucifer. 
Mammon tries to explain the situation but he stumbles so much over his words that Lucifer can't make sense of it. 
You end up explaining the whole situation and Lucifer is pretty mad at Mammon but he can also tell that you seem fine. 
So you go to Lucifer together with Mammon, just to make sure you are really fine. 
Turns out the ingredient wasn't what Mammon thought it was, but he still gets punished regardless. 
Mammon apologizes many times and gets you a ton of your favorite snacks for you. 
He will never blindly offer you another item to eat again.
  Satan
You help him by testing some pretty harmless potions. 
They are mainly for healing. 
Satan tells you to just start with whatever potion you want, and Satan will then take note of the effects. 
Sadly Satan completely forgot about the potent poison on the same table. 
Of course you unknowingly take the poison as your first choice. 
Satan sees the bottle and he is shaking, he tries to stay calm but you can tell that something is wrong. 
He tells you to sit down and in a hurry he searches for the antidote. 
Satan is knocking everything over, but he doesn't care and pretty soon he comes running to you with a bottle and demands you to drink it. 
Satan is relieved that it doesn't have an effect on you but he insists on you taking the antidote regardless. 
It's better to be safe than sorry. 
Satan is very sorry about the whole thing. 
From now on he will keep his poison all locked away. 
He will also treat you to dinner, to make up for it. 
   Belphegor 
He only sees the part where you eat the poisonous plant. 
Belphie has never gotten this fast up, or moved this fast. 
He pretty much rips the plant from your hand. 
Belphie is in utter disbelief and doesn't even let you say anything at all. 
He forces you to lay down and gets Satan, for an antidote. 
When Belphie is back you are pretty confused. 
You can stop Satan from giving you his strange concoction by showing that the plant was just a fake, apparently a new snack that just looks like something dangerous. 
Beel had given it to you. 
Belphie is very upset about the whole situation, mainly because he worried about nothing. 
He is also very relieved that it was really nothing to worry about. 
You certainly know how to scare him. 
Beel later apologized to Belphie. 
  Asmodeus 
He has invited you over to try his newest beauty products. 
There are some pretty interesting things spread out. 
Including a flower that is said to help with good skin, but also extremely poisonous. 
The flower has to be prepared like tea and set aside for a while. 
Somewhere in the middle of doing some face masks you accidentally grab the cup with the poisonous flower brew and drink it. 
You spit most of it out, since it's very bitter. 
Asmo gets pale when he sees what you just drink. 
He rushes over to you and carries you princess style to Satan, while also trying to call Lucifer. 
It would be pretty impressive if you were not scared for your life right now. 
Out of breath Asmo reaches Satan's room. 
Satan catches on very quickly and is able to calm you both down. 
First of all the flower isn't poisonous after cooking and it's also completely harmless to humans. 
Asmo is very relieved. 
He still apologized to you and gives you some extra attention

house plants
Tumblr media
in which bucky has a green thumb and you don’t, but god do you love plants.
masterlist
a/n: hi guys 0.0 sorry for like dying on y’all, college was ROUGH but I’m on break now !! so I’ll try to be more active hehe i hope you guys enjoy! I’m getting they some requests and I’ll post them later i just rlly wanted to get dis one out there hehe also this was way longer than i expected it to be uhm
you smiled at the small succulent in the passenger seat, “okay, i may have gotten you on a whim, but i will not let you die on me, you will be my new daughter” you nodded your head confidently as you grabbed the other groceries, balancing a small succulent in one hand.
“Buck? I’m home!” You stated, hurrying to set everything down and softly plancing the plant on the counter. You smiled brightly at it before turning on your heel to find Bucky.
“I’ll help in a bit i just need to find something” he spoke, you headed toward the room, finding him looking around helplessly, “what are you looking for?” You questioned, sitting on the bed and laughing as he tore apart the room.
“i remembered i had this t shirt i really liked and now i can’t find it anywhere, i looked through all my cabinets and it’s nowhere in sight” he huffed and you smiled.
“did you check my closet?” you quipped and he furrowed his brows, mumbling as he looked through your shirts before pulling out a black long sleeve, he smiled as he held it close to his chest.
“how did you even get this? You didn’t go through my drawers did you?” he worried, something flashing in his eyes, but it was gone before you could notice. He quickly grabbed it and put it on, kissing you on the cheek as he walked out the door, “no i didn’t and plus you barely used it so i stole it” you shrugged.
“okay now that you have your shirt, you are legally not allowed to be mad at me” you began, running infront of him and blocking the plant from his view.
“y/n, doll please tell me you didn’t get a cat” he sighed and you shook your head, “no, however i was thinking about it” you mentioned, a smile on your face as he rolled his eyes at you.
“i present to you, our new child!” you cheered, presenting the succulent and shoving it into his face. Bucky furrowed his brows and processed the information, the small green plant staring him right in the face. “It was on sale at the grocery store and i thought why not give house plants another shot! It’s not like we’re out doing much nowadays” you smiled, patting the plant gently before setting it down once again and going to fix the other groceries.
“y/n last time you gave house plants a shot you killed all six of them” he sighed and you threw a roll of paper towels at him, of course he caught it and threw it back, effectively hitting you on the back of the head.
“things are different now, maybe i have a green thumb this year” you smiled, happily putting everything away and setting the plant by the window.
Bucky saw the joy in your eyes as you watched the small plant grow, you even texted the whole team about the new member of the barnes and y/l/l household. You had spent hours at a time researching the best ways to grow and care for succulents and yet, one week later bucky noticed the small plant (which you had dubbed ‘Brenda’) had began to wilt.
He stared at brenda, debatin on letting her just die and prove a point that gardening was not your strong suit, but then he thought about how crushed you would be, coming home and finding the dead succulent. He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed, watering the plant and going out the buy some things to help it get more nutrients.
Within days Brenda was healthier than ever, growing rapidly and a beautiful dark green color. You quickly noticed and teased Bucky for not believing in you.
“I told you! she is so beautiful look at her! they grow up so fast don’t they” you wiped a fake tear and Bucky laughed rolling his eyes and focusing back on the show the two of you were watching. “I think it’s time for the next step” you smiled, his eyes widened as you finished your sentence, “another plant!”
So weeks passed and within a couple months you had all kinds of house plants, every windowsill covered with green and even some hanging from the ceiling, vines wrapping around lamps and even flowers in the patio, you even got bold and bought an orchid (which was doing amazing you may add).
While you watered them regularly, Bucky had to go above and beyond to care for the absurd amount of plants you now had. He would water them individually (by now he knew how much water each plant needed and what days to water them) and even added fertilizer to their soil, buying all kinds of things to keep them healthy and to stop them from wilting. Your most recent purchase, olive the orchid, had been the toughest to care for yet. Bucky had to watch tons of videos on orchid care to stop it from dying within the fire few days.
It took him a while to go through his routine while you were at work, you never caught wind of his meddling and you continued to believe that you had the greenest thumb in the world, Bucky happily going along with it, he couldn’t bare to see your soul crushed if you realized they would’ve died had they been in your care.
You and Bucky were laying in bed watching a movie when he got a phone call from Sam, telling him they had a mission, Bucky was both suprised and nervous considering there had been almost nothing going on lately and he would have the leave all the plants alone with you.
“I can always tell Sam i can’t go you know that doll” Bucky protested as the night progressed, you sighed and curled more into his side, pulling the blanket into you more, “I’ll be fine James, and plus i have all of our plants to keep me company” you smiled brightly and he felt his heart swell.
He wanted nothing more then to tell Sam to shove it so he can stay home and care for all your plants to keep that adorable smile on your face, but of course he couldn’t.
“I’m gonna be gone two weeks are you sure you can handle it?” Bucky asked once again, one foot out the door before turning around again, “yes bucky i know where everything for the plants is, plus I’ve kept them looking good for this long, two weeks is nothing” you smirked, punching his shoulder as he smiled at you.
He chuckled softly and nodded his head, kissing your forehead and saying goodbye, he also said goodbye to all the plants, knowing they would be gone by the time he came back. He did however have a shred of hope that they would be able to hold on just until he got back, to nurse them back to health.
You closed the door and sighed, the house feeling empty without Bucky, but then you looked to your right and saw Brenda, you smiled and put on your favorite show, cuddling up on the couch and sighing. You could keep your plants alive for two weeks, you had done it for months on your own.
Sam put the quinjet in autopilot after setting the route and sat across from Bucky. “So why didn’t you wanna come, getting used to the domestic life?” He joked and Bucky rolled his eyes. “Cmon I’m joking losen up” he laughed, throwing a peanut at him and Bucky broke into a smile as he caught it in his mouth.
“y/n and i got a bunch of plants right” he began and Sam nodded, “yeah i know she sends up pictures like all the time,” Bucky laughed and continued, “but she sucks at keeping them alive, so I’ve been taking care of them when she isn’t home and keeping them alive” Bucky spoke, a smile on his face as he realized how ridiculous this was.
“she doesn’t know you’ve been taking care of them does she” Sam questioned and Bucky shook his head, he bit his lip to stop his smile as Sam broke into a fit of laughter. “Oh my god they’re all gonna die on her like last year aren’t they” he spoke between laughs and Bucky nodded, his heart hurting as he thought of your face when the plants began to wilt and you couldn’t stop them.
“i just feel bad because he cares about them so much, but she just is actually incapable of caring for them, i mean she killed a cactus! even after doing everything she was supposed to!” Bucky laughed, wanting nothing more than to go home and hold you, and kiss you on the cheek.
“I can’t believe she can do basically everything but care for plants” Sam spoke and Bucky sighed, closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.
As time passed your plants began to wilt, first was the orchid, a petal had fallen and it was now slumped over. Then was the ones hanging from the ceiling, the leaves all drooping and and even starting to dry up after the first week.
And then your succulents, you had been watering them way too much and essentially drowned them, and you accidentally killed your cacti by not em giving them enough water.
Of course with each plant death on your end, Bucky received the news through your daily calls. He felt so bad for you, comforting you every night and wishing he could kiss you and make you feel better. “Don’t worry doll I’ll be there in a couple days” he would say and you nodded, “maybe they just miss you” you giggled and he smiled, “maybe.”
By the time bucky got home, all the plants were basically dead, and you had thrown out half them before Bucky could even say goodbye.
“Sweets? I’m home!” Bucky smiled, setting everything down and closing the door, turning around to see you throwing out yet another plant before your face lit up and you jumped on him.
“i missed you so much james” you laughed as he picked you up, holding you tightly as he nuzzled his head into the crook of your neck.
“i missed you so much more doll” he whispered a smile on his face as you placed a kiss ontop of his head. He set you down gently on the couch and you immediately pulled him down with you, cuddling into his side and closing your eyes as you listened to his heartbeat.
“okay doll, please don’t get mad at me but i can’t hide this any longer” he spoke suddenly, getting up from the couch and moving infront of you. Your heart dropped and you felt dizzy, “what?” Your mind was racing, thinking of what the hell he could be hiding from you.
“okay it started off because i didn’t want to hurt you okay, i didn’t want to crush your spirit because you looked so happy and god i didn’t want to take that away from you, but then you went and got more and i couldn’t tell you then because i was in too deep and-“ you cut him off before he could continue.
“Barnes just spit it out!” You groaned, brows furrowed and a scowl on your face as he rambled.
“I took care of the plants!” He rushed out, letting out a sigh and putting his head in your lap. “I took care of Brenda when she started to wilt because i saw how happy you were taking care of her” he mumbled, looking up to see your confused expression.
“but my other plants i took care of those” you shook your head, and he scrunched his face up. “I took care of those too, i kept them all alive and cared for them so that you could think you were doing it, i wanted you to be happy as a plant mom, i knew how bad you felt last year” he spoke, looking up at you and searching you face for your reaction.
“that why they all died after you left, because you kept them alive” you whispered, finally putting the pieces together. Everything made so much more sense now, from you catching him moving the plants around and him buying fertilizer, you realized now it’s because while you were gone, he was taking care of the plants.
“You didn’t even tell me after i bought like 10 more” you smiled and he let out a breath after he realized you weren’t upset. “I just wanted to see you happy” he giggled and your heart fluttered, you ran your fingers through his hair and he closed his eyes.
“so you aren’t mad?” you laughed at the question, confusing him, and suddenly he was terrified because if you were mad at him he doesn’t know how he would make it up to you.
“how could i be mad at you baby, you spent hours on end taking care of plants that you didn’t care about just so i could be happy thinking i had a green thumb” you smiled, kissing his forehead and letting out a sigh, “if anything i should propose to you for caring for me that much.” Bucky smiled at you and gave you a quick kiss on the lips.
“i would marry you in a heartbeat doll face” he whispered, sitting back down next to you on the couch, “even if that meant taking care of an absurd amount of plants for me?” You teased and he rolled his eyes.
“as long as they aren’t orchids, that one was a pain in the ass” he laughed and you slapped his chest lightly, “i loved olive!” you argued and he shoved you softly, “you didn’t have to watch hours of videos to keep olive alive!” He shot back and you huffed, accepting defeat and setting your head on his chest as the tv played in the background.
After a couple moments of silence you smiled, realizing the trouble he must’ve gone through just so you could be happy over some plants. “I wasn’t joke when i said i would marry you y’know” you whispered, and Bucky blushed, kissing the top of your head.
“I know doll, and neither was i” he smiled as he saw your face flush, and suddenly all he could think of was the small velvet box he had hidden away in his t shirt drawer.

Ghosts & Icing
Tumblr media
A/N: this request is adorable and I hope I did it justice!! I went with the seasons 12-15 gang because then there would be a ton of kiddos and also I love Luke Alvez and he deserves the world :)
TW: None fluff city
wc: 2.0k
Masterlist
“Spence, where does the green skeleton go? Between the pumpkins or next to the gargoyle?” You called up to Spencer, waddling over to the many boxes of Halloween decorations that your husband had accumulated over the years. 
It was barely September 30th, and you were already decorating for his most beloved holiday. You didn’t mind; you loved him and he loved Halloween. So, naturally, you loved Halloween too. Before you met Spencer, you hadn’t even so much as carved a pumpkin each year, and the last time you wore a costume was at a college frat party. Well, if wearing a set of cat ears and drawn on eyeliner whiskers can even be considered a costume. According to Spencer Reid, it is not. But here you were, wearing a shirt covered in jack-o-lanterns and ghosts that barely fit over your protruding belly. Oh how life can change. 
Spencer appeared seemingly out of thin air, looking frazzled, his hair more disheveled than usual, some fake cobwebs tangled in it, and orange lights draped around him like he was a Christmas tree. 
“Don’t touch anything!”
You put your hands up in defeat, “Alright, I’ll let the Halloween king decorate his castle.”
You pottered over the front stoop, sitting on the hard concrete and watching him put fake cobwebs and oversized spiders in the bushes. You leaned back, rubbing your belly softly. It wasn’t that big, only twenty-four weeks, but you felt like you had stolen one of Spencer’s beloved pumpkins and shoved it under your shirt.
When you saw him again he was breathless. Only he could be overexerted from decorating.
“Should I put the tombstone next to the Frankenstein head? Or should I make a mini graveyard in the lawn?”
You grinned, admiring his child-like enthusiasm. He rarely had that anymore. Honestly, after all the real life horror he saw, you were surprised he still liked a jump scare. The second hand fear you felt for him everyday was more than enough; you didn’t need Freddy Krueger to supplement. 
“I think you should do whatever you want, Babe.”
He groaned, “You’re no help!” “You’re the one that told me to not touch anything, Reid.”
He smiled, “You’re right, but now I need you to touch something.”
You wiggled your eyebrows and stood up, making your way to him. You smoothed out his sweaty t-shirt and moved his hair from his eyes, “I’ll touch whatever you want.”
He stifled a laugh, “I-I didn’t mean like that; that job has been done. I meant like you could put the ghosts along the walkway while I set up the orange and purple lights.” As soon as he finished saying it, the box of ghosts were in your hand and he was untangling lights. 
“Hey! You forgot something!”
He stumbled over to you, looking side to side with wide eyes “What? What’d I forget?”
You puckered your lips and he smiled, planting a kiss on them. 
“Thank you, and you better shower before everyone gets here. You stink Reid!”
“So do you, Reid! Love you!” He called after you before making his way back inside to find more decorations. 
“Purple is the color of the seventh chakra, which represents the third eye and clairvoyance, so purple has become closely associated with the holiday as it is very spiritual in nature. Actually, purple has a rather complicated color symbolism because it is the mixture of calm blue and passionate red. The emotions attached to it vary, depending on whether or not it is a blue based purple or a red based purple. Which is actually an interesting conundrum when you look at the color spectrum-” Spencer rambled to the table of children and their parents who were just there to decorate sugar cookies and admire the ghost stickers on the walls.
Matt laughed, “Thanks for that, Reid. But I think Kristy was just complimenting the lights on the mantle.”
Everyone laughed and Spencer flushed a light shade of pink. You came up to him and admired the mess of a kitchen table in front of you.
On one side were the Jareau-LaMontagnes. Henry was old enough to try to make a ghost, but Michael was still too little to sit in his own seat. He was on Will’s lap, patting his hands on orange sprinkles and watching them stick to his little palms. Then he would clap and watch them fall to the ground around him, giggling every time.
“I’m real sorry about the mess, Y/N,” Will said in his sweet southern drawl.
You smiled, “Hey, I said we’d host Halloween cookie day. I’m more than happy to clean it up. Plus, it’s practice for this guy.” You patted your belly and he smiled.
On the opposing side of the table was the ever growing Simmons clan. David and Jake were squeezing green icing out of bags trying to make Frankensteins, and their younger sisters were hogging all the purple and drawing flowers on the cookies shaped like bats. 
The kids weren’t the only ones having fun though. You set up a separate table for the adults. It was kind of like those wine and art nights, but in this case the art was edible.
Penelope got the short end of the stick (in her book at least) and was sitting next to Luke, aka Newbie, “You cannot just hog all the red icing! I swear to GOD Luke Alvez!”
Luke puckered up his face and mocked Penelope, “I swear to GOD Luke Alvez!”
“Oh SHUT UP SHUT UP! Just because you’re all macho and handsome doesn’t mean you get to hog all the icing!”
“Maybe you wouldn’t need the red icing if you hadn’t insisted on making the skull rainbow.”
Penelope groaned and looked across the room at you and Spencer, begging you to help her. The two of you just laughed and you leaned into Spencer’s side. 
“When do you think she’ll finally admit she’s in love with him?”
Spencer laughed, putting his hand on the small of your back, “Never. Garcia is many things, and stubborn is one of them.”
Rossi was next to them, sitting back and not participating in the icing war that was going on in front of him. He just warned them that they better not get any on his brand new Italian silk shirt. 
“It’s handmade, you know, only fifteen were even made. I had to call a guy who knows a guy who knows the maker’s sister to get one.”
JJ rolled her eyes, “Sure Rossi, and this shirt was actually worn by the Queen of England.” 
She gestured to the black shirt she was wearing which clearly said, “Happy Halloween Witches!” 
Dave scoffed, “Listen, Jennifer, I know Liz well. She would never wear something that tried to replace the word ‘bitches’ with ‘witches’. She’s classy.”
JJ laughed, taking another gulp of wine, “Liz? So what… you guys are on a first name basis?”
He shrugged, “Let’s just say, if Philip wasn’t in the picture…”
They were interrupted by Henry coming up to his mom and showing her the ghost cookie he had tried to make, “Do you like it, mom?”
“Wow dude! That is one scary ghost,” she said, taking it from him and licking some stray icing off her fingers.
He grinned proudly, and insisted on showing his favorite Uncle Spencer.
“Uncle Spence! Come look at my ghost!”
Spencer looked over at you, silently asking for permission to leave your side. You smiled and waved your hand, “Go! But please don’t get black icing on the ceiling again. This year, you’ll be the one cleaning it.”
He smiled and sat at the ridiculously small kids chair, looking like a giant, and picked up a few piping bags to make his own creation.
Suddenly Emily and Tara appeared next to you, holding an empty bottle of wine, “We need a refill, Mrs. Reid.”
You still blushed at the use of your married name, no matter how many times you heard it, “Follow me to the wine cellar, ladies!”
The two of them followed behind you as you walked carefully down the steps, “Spencer usually doesn’t let me down here. He says the steps are unsafe.”
“Uh, yeah, if I had known how narrow and steep they were I would’ve just asked you to direct me,” Tara said, looking for the light switch on the wall. She found it and soon the three of you were staring at the dark walls of the basement.
“Okay, maybe I lied. It isn’t so much a wine cellar as it is just a regular, creepy old basement.”
“Full of spiders,” Emily added, swatting at a cobweb on the extremely low ceiling. Spencer had to crouch when he came down here. 
“That’s what you get for buying a house built in 1920, Y/N,” Tara added, as they both began sifting through the stray bottles of wine in a box on the floor.
“I know, but Spencer insisted because it ‘adds character.’”
“Being married to that man, I don’t know how much more character you need,” Emily said, pulling out a bottle of cheap Barefoot red wine, “I bet you miss this.”
You rubbed your belly, “I said I’m bringing a bottle of wine in my hospital bag.”
Tara laughed, “And what did Dr. Reid say to that? ‘Actually, Y/N, you can’t have alcohol in the hospital.’”
“No, no, I bet it was more like, ‘did you know that alcohol is a depressant? It slows down your cognitive functions, thus making it much harder to care for a newborn baby.’”
“Hey! Stop making fun of my husband!” you said, the two women looking as if they’d just seen a ghost, which was rather fitting for the occasion, “Only I get to do that!”
The three of you laughed and they helped you hobble up the stairs, where you were met by a sight you wished you hadn’t seen.
The first person you saw was Matt, white icing all over his red shirt and arms, and Kristy laughing next to him, using a finger to swipe some up and put it in her mouth. Next were the four Simmons children, each with varying amounts and colors of icing and sprinkles all over them. Then you saw Will, who for some reason had a chunk of cookie in his hair, and Michael on his shoulders. JJ was behind them, grabbing Michael’s hands and trying to wipe all the stickiness he had accumulated off of them.
Next was Rossi, who had an unmistakable drop of red icing on the arm of his Italian silk shirt. If he was a cartoon character, he would’ve had steam coming out of his ears. Garcia and Luke were next to him, each looking mortified and blaming the other. Garcia was smacking his arm lightly and Luke was shielding his face.
Then your eyes found the person you always looked for when you entered a room, and Spencer looked the worst of them all. His fluffy hair was matted down in places with green icing, cookie crumbs all over his cheeks and stuck in his scruff. His sweater was once cream colored, but now it was a mixture of green, purple, black, and gray. His hands were covered in icing and sprinkles and he was spinning Henry around in a circle.
You stood there and admired the scene in front of you for a moment, before Tara cleared her throat. 
“What is going on here?”
Everyone stopped, and immediately Henry spoke, “He did it!”
He pointed straight at Spencer, who put his hands up, “Me? What’d I do?”
“Uncle Spencer started a food fight!”
“No, I think it was Garcia,” Rossi said and the room fell into a roar of laughter; Tara and Emily eager to get in on the fun and dip their own hands into some icing.
You admired them all one more time, rubbing your belly softly, before also diving head first into a mess of sprinkles and ghost shaped cookies.
This was your family, and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Among Us AU (Students)
I'm picturing this as them being actual characters in the game, not them playing the game.
Let's get the colors out of the way first:
Kiri is red, Denki is yellow, Bakugou is orange, Mina is pink, Deku is dark green, Tsu is lime, Iida is dark blue, Todoroki is white, Ochako is brown, Mirio is cyan, Tamaki is black, and Shinsou is purple.
Best Imposters: Mirio, DEKU, Shinsou, Tamaki, and Bakugou
Best Crewmates: IIDA, Deku, Todoroki, Tsu
Iida is probably the fastest crewmate, so nobody bothers going after him.
Wears the safety mask.
He calls regular emergency meetings as "check-ups" and is very adamant about the buddy system.
Can be seen chopping the air whenever he "thinks" he saw someone venting and when he's arguing during discussions.
Usually takes charge during discussions and if he dies, then Mirio takes charge
You'll probably find him in security watching the cameras.
It's very obvious whenever he's the importer.
He literally never vents.
He sticks to snapping necks and then speeding off so fast you can't catch him on the cameras
But he always gives himself away by getting super defensive when anybody asks him a question
"Where were you, Iida?"
"My location during the murder is none of your concern. I don't have to tell you anything at all. In fact, you can come see me scan in Medbay. Actually, don't! You might be the impostor yourself, Midoriya! Trying to pull the wool over our eye–"
"Yeah, go ahead and vote him out. 😪"
Mina, Denki, and Eijiro all dance around Bakugou while he's doing his tasks like cheerleaders and it pisses him the hell off because he can't focus.
Kirishima picks up any babies or pets that were left behind, even if he was the imposter.
He wears the ninja headband because they look "manly".
He honestly hates being the imposter because he gets so stressed out.
Usually just sticks to sabotaging.
He's really reluctant to kill and when he does, it is super sloppy.
One of those alien imposters that eat the crewmates. 🥴
He doesn't really defend himself if the crew starts suspecting him tho.
"I'm sorry I killed you, Shoto. That was super unmanly. 😞"
Shoto's ghost: 😐
Speaking of Shoto, he very rarely does tasks.
The only reason he's a good crewmate is because he's so quiet, the imposter won't even notice he's in the same room when they vent or kill someone.
Wears nothing but his suit, but can be persuaded to wear the halo.
You'll probably find him just wandering around in the halls, so he's an easy kill.
He's one of those Chaotic Neutral characters that say you can vote them out if they're wrong.
"I think I saw Kaminari kill Midoriya...but I could be wrong. You guys can just vote me out if I'm wrong."
He and Deku are very good at doing double kills and then venting right after.
He kills with knives or by impaling and then just walks off because he forgets he can vent.
But, he's not a good imposter by himself because he's kinda forgetful and doesn't make good arguments for himself.
"Shoto's faking tasks."
"No, I'm not. 😐"
Kirishima, Ochako, and Tsu are really reluctant to vote anyone out.
Everyone hates when they're the last people left because they usually throw the entire game.
While Kirishima and Tsu could be persuaded with evidence, Ochako usually just skips.
"Do we really have to vote them out? I mean...do you actually have proof?"
"I literally saw them kill Tsu."
"I don't know. I'm just gonna skip."
Ochako has to snap people's necks because she's too poor to afford a gun 😔.
Ochako, Mirio, and Mina refuse to kill anyone with pets or babies. They're murderers, not monsters.
Ochako and Tsu wear matching pink flowers.
Bakugou is a terrible crewmate, merely because he throws wild accusations until they stick (mostly at Deku)
“Deku’s the imposter!”
“Bakugou...Deku’s dead this round. 👁👄👁”
He gets so mad anytime the crew wants to vote him out, even if he is the imposter.
"I think it was Bakugou."
"No, the hell it wASN'T!"
"You've just been a little sus, dude."
"I WAS DOING MY TASK THIS WHOLE TIME AND YOU PIECES OF SHIT THINK IT'S ME?!? ARE YOU DEADASS?!💥🖐🏻🤬"
"What are you getting so mad for? 👀"
"I'M "GETTING MAD" BECAUSE YOU BACK ALLEY RAT TURDS ARE BLAMING ME, KNOWING DAMN WELL YOU SAW ME DOING TASKS! I'M NOT THE-"
Tumblr media
And he's a petty bitch so he never does his tasks as a ghost. He just grumbles and follows Kiri around.
Wears that backwards hat because he thinks it looks cool, but don't say anything about it or he will take it off.
Now, he's really in his element as the imposter.
🌠Gaslighting: the game🌠
Deku better hope they never get paired up together, because Bakugou will follow him around and report him as soon as he kills.
"Deku's the imposter. I caught his dumbass lacking."
"K-Kacchan? 🥺"
He prefers to work by himself, but he'll corporate with Kiri, Denki, or Mina.
Weapon of choice is a knife because it's hands-on and he really likes to...get into character.
Tsu and Mina are both imposter types that eat people.
They also have a ton of pets and babies with them at all times
Mina will never empty the garbage.
Ever.
She also wears those cute devil horns.
Tsu always does her tasks as a ghost and then hovers by the abandoned babies/pets.
"Has anybody seen Tsu?"
Tsu: 🐸❤👶🏽
She's also really good at telling when someone is lying, that's why she's one of the first killed.
Denki tries his best, but...
"Leave the electrical tasks to me!"
And then he comes back like: 👍🏻🥴👍🏻
Just completely fried.
He wears that posted note that says "Dum" because he thinks its "ironic"...nobody even bothers telling him it's not.
Really reluctant to kill, but he doesn't understand how to sabotage so it's his only option. He just uses a gun because it seems less personal.
"Sorry to do this to ya, dude. But you know how it goes. 🔫😗✌🏼"
Shinsou's power makes him win every game as an imposter. He's basically OP.
"Hey, Shinsou! Did you just vent?"
"Did you?"
"No–"
"Yeah, how bout you come jump on this knife 😼🔪"
Nobody ever sees him because he likes traveling through the vents and it's crazy because no one ever questions him either.
Sleeps in the vents.
He wears the red beanie.
He generally sticks to popping out of a vent, snapping necks, and going back into the vents.
Knows the vent system of every map like the back of his hand.
Sometimes he uses a knife if he's feeling ✨ᖴᗩᑎᑕY✨
A horrible crewmate.
He'll be sleeping in places he shouldn't be.
Like, he'll do some of his tasks, but he's not running to fix the O2 or the Reactor.
The alarms could be blaring and he'll be like:
"I'm sure somebody'll get that 😴."
He never brings anything to the discussion AT ALL.
He just votes with the majority, honestly.
He literally can not be found in the entire ship and you'll only see him at discussions, then he disappears like a shadow.
So, it's obvious that he rarely gets killed.
He only really pairs up with Deku (and he's usually the one that kills Shinsou)
Poor Tamaki.
He, like Denki, tries his best.
Please, God, don't leave him alone.
He tries to stay with Mirio or Kiri when doing tasks.
He wears that little green plant on his head 🥺.
The thought of there being a murderer around every corner stresses him the fuck out, so his hands are too shaky to do wires.
Doesn't like long tasks, they leave him too exposed.
If you think he's nervous during tasks, imagine him during discussions.
It's like doing back to back presentations on a topic you never researched.
He tries to be helpful by adding his two cents, but there are definitely some...big personalities in the group.
"I...think I s-saw orange vent."
"What the hell are you mumbling about?! Speak up, dammit!"
"N-nevermind, it's no use. 😞"
Now, he's surprisingly a really good imposter.
He's one of the few that nobody ever expects.
He works better with Mirio or Kirishima, and while he prefers to just sabotage, he isn't afraid to eat a bitch.
Tentacles come out of his stomach, so he's just waiting in decontamination like:
🧍🏻‍♂️🐙
You wouldn't think Mirio would be a good imposter, but that's EXACTLY what he wants you to think.
He's smarter than he let's on and he plays dumb to his advantage.
"Mirio, why didn't you go to reactor when the alarm went off?"
"I was looking for my buddy, Tamaki. And I got a bit lost."
"Why didn't you just use your map—"
"Heh, we should just skip, right? 😅👍🏻"
Uses his big boy muscles to snap necks and then self-reports.
Says a corny dad joke before he kills someone.
"Hey, What does a liar do after he dies?"
"Wha—"
"He lies still. Heh, get it? 👱🏻"
"😐"
"👱🏻🔪"
Wears a banana peel on his head and I feel like that needs no explanation.
He relies heavily on his quirk to move around as an imposter and a crewmate.
He just fucking pops out of the ground.
This also means he can catch imposters in the act.
He works well with anyone, but he still makes a good imposter by himself.
He really likes the Sked because of the simple design.
Follows people around for fun and his dumbass gets voted off because of it.
Uses his quirk to pop through walls and scare people.
"Hah. Key swipe, huh? 👱🏻"
Always swipes his key perfectly every time.
He does all of the tasks that nobody else wants to, including his own.
"What did you call an emergency meeting for, Mirio?"
"I just missed you guys. ☺"
"..."
"Vote him out."
Now, Izuku is really good in either role.
This is partially because of a little notebook he keeps filled with stats on the crewmates.
It also holds notes on how long it takes to complete different tasks, multiple layouts of the different ships, a list of combinations for O2, etc.
This comes in handy during discussions.
"Wait. Mina, you came from the labs all the way to the office to call a meeting? And you said it took you four minutes to get here while running, but that's, at least, a fifteen-minute journey, even if you ran at your maximum speed. The only people who could get here that fast are Iida, Mirio, and I. But, there is a vent that leads from the labs to storage and you could probably get here in four minutes if you used it. Also, if you saw Tamaki kill Todoroki, why didn't you just report the body—"
"Oh my God, Izuku. Just vote me out. 😒"
After finishing his tasks, he usually goes to admin to keep an eye on the body count. If not there, he'll be taking notes in the cafeteria.
He gets really focused on his tasks, so he's kind of an easy kill.
He has a little green baby on his head and his name is Kota 😌.
The notebook also helps him out when he's the imposter.
He knows which rooms have vents and where they lead.
Nobody ever suspects sweet baby Izuku to be the killer 🥺 no, not wittle baby boy.
Nobody, but Katsuki.
Literally, if there's no concrete evidence against him, hardly anyone thinks it's him.
And Katsuki isn't exactly trustworthy when it comes to Izuku, but he's literally right every time.
The king of sabotage.
He'll hit the lights, lock the door to Electrical, turn on O2, stab someone in the dark, and then vent to the other side of the ship.
As I said earlier, he's really good at getting double kills and then venting away.
He's real handy with a knife, but he has a strength-based quirk so he could snap necks if he wants.
They hardly ever win by finishing all of their tasks, because Mirio keeps following people around, Katsuki doesn't do tasks as a ghost, Kiri doesn't know how to upload the files, Shinsou sleeps through every alarm, Shoto forgets he has a map and gets lost, and Denki won't do his unless Iida chases him around and forces him.
God help these children 😩.

Flower Pot.
-
Summary: henry finds a mystery flower pot in his trailer, he questions everyone. expect for one girl.
Warnings: fluff, kissing.
“hey...what’s that?” henry points to the potted plant on his table, his assistant shrugs “you didn’t do this?” he nods no “mr cavill you have a scene in 5” the DA yells at his window “yeah okay..” he yells back his assistant leaves and he sits on his couch and smiles it’s a flower pot... it was beautiful he thought who did it? Orange roses..
Henry does a few scenes with his costar emma watson. And after they finish he asks her “hey emma can I ask you something seriously” he whispers to emma “yeah what’s going on?” she says “did you possibly send me a potted plant?” she looked at him in confusion “No- Why would I leave you a plant?” he shakes his head “I don’t know I just there’s a weird plant that just appeared in my trailer” “well what is it?” She pulls her phone out “orange roses I believe” she quickly looks it up on google she shallows with a soft laugh “whoever sent you those they desire you henry” she smiles at him “oh..they wanna go out or something?” “I think a little more than that but ya let’s go with that!” Emma says patting his shoulder and walking away, he see’s the director assistant and goes up to her “hey molly” she lifts her head up from her head “ya cavill what’s up” looking back down at her phone “you didn’t leave me anything in my trailer did you?” She nods her head no, he shakes his head and walks away who could it be?,
Days pass since the mystery flower pot showed up in his trailer he feels like he asked almost everyone and nobody has come forward to say it was them it was so strange it felt henry in a confused state, when he came back into his trailer today.... another flower pot? Jesus Christ.
“What kind of flower is this?” he looks at his assistant “looks like a carnation sir?, um when I was small my father used to buy them for my mother because he was fascinated by her” he explained, henry swallowed thickly.. “I have to find her or him whoever it is this is getting ridiculous” he walked down coming back up one step “can you water them..” he felt stupid for caring about them but he did, he bumped into someone “watch where your going-“ she shouted and she looked up seeing it was henry “oh my god mr cavill I am so sorry I-“ she said walking away “hey wait” he yelled out “y/n isn’t it?” He said she nodded “please don’t fire me” she was afraid actors have always treated her horribly not liking the way the sets looked or cared about her well being pushing her around “you build the sets and design them right?” he looked over at the new set that was built she nodded so incredibly nervous “they look nice don’t worry so much.” He said trying to calm her down somewhat she walked away, when they called him on set he was...amazed it was her it had to be there was carnations on the table on the set it was her! He smiled at the flowers at the table as the scene started, and the next day he put a single Purple Heather, on her windshield. He thought she was beautiful and adored her for having so much courage in doing that.
On set she smiled at him as she held up the purple heather in her hand, the scene wasn’t going yet but he sure as wanted it to be over to go talk to her, when his scene ended he jogged over to her “so you think am beautiful cavill?” “What are you talking about?” he said her eyes widen and he laughed her eyes closing of embrassment “haha very funny” she said annoyed “I think you’re very beautiful” he cupped the side of her face with his hand she blushed “Molly ordered a frozen yogurt truck you wanna grab some” he nodded his head they walked to the truck when realization hit “this is so Los Angeles” she said he laughed “I can’t stand something that looks like ice cream is treated like ice cream but isn’t ice cream?” She got out of the line “what are we doing?” henry asks “we’re going to get ice cream” “you’re bossy?” “Only to people I like” she said with a smirk and he blushed lightly, they walked to her car and they got in and Henry finally says “okay what was with all the flowers?” he says she nods her head as she starts driving “well, when I was a little girl I dreamt about the boy who I would date what kind of flowers would he get me where we would go and what kind of flowers would he get me?” which made henry laugh
“I think flowers are a romantic gesture you see a flower and you think oh wow that’s gorgeous and go on with your day but when you find out the meaning you think about it forever, like for the rest of my life I’ll think about the time henry cavill said I was beautiful he put the flower on my windshield” she scrunched up her nose like a little bunny as Henry said in his head. They reached the ice cream parlor and talked for an hour both of their phones ringing with calls from asisstants, the director the DA and even the boom girl.
the movie’s almost done, it’s been three months, henry and y/n have been secretly sharing kisses and on their days off going on dates it was pretty cute too say the least, a text gets sent to her phone “ meet me in my trailer in 5 minutes “ she was very confused to say the least “aaron say I went to the bathroom I’ll be back” he nodded his head as she quietly left to Henry’s trailer these scenes not having much to do with him, she knocked on his door she went in locking the door behind her he closed the curtains “hey” she smiled at him looking at the flowers on the table it was sunflowers she looked confused... she points to the table he got closer to her kissing her his hands on her hips her hands finding his neck quickly he pulled away “I got you sunflowers, and I want you” he whispered kissing her neck she desperately wanted him too “thank you and we have work” she smiled as he kissed her neck “we’ll do it fast” he lets out a breathy laugh on her neck, god he’s so sexy she thought, “how quick can you go I mean it took an hour last time” she raised her eyebrows his hands tickling her sides making her laugh “fine then we won’t” he let go of her body kissing her cheek she smelled the sunflowers “thank you, it means a lot to me that you care..” she kissed his lips and pulled away “I adore you” those words coming from his mouth made her heart beat and her stomach fill with butterflies, how did he have so much impact on her?.
The movie ultimately took 4 months to film, and a couple months to edit. Henry and y/n are still a secret at this point. one day she came home from a prop shop dropping her bags on the floor tired a bit drained when she saw her home filed with red roses, everywhere bouquet’s, petals, single roses on the couch. “henry” were the only words to leave her mouth she covered her mouth in suprise looking up into her hallway it was him. her eyes welled up with tears “do you know what red roses mean?” he asked her, he knew she knew. She ran into his arms kissing him very passionately “I love you too” he smiled underneath their many kisses “oh I thought they meant I hate you...sorry to confuse you” he said jokingly “haha very funny” she said with no humor and fake smile “I love you y/n and flowers are our thing always.” he kissed her once more “you know if you keep buying me flowers I’m not gonna have anymore room in my house” he nodded knowing they were taking up a ton of space but she would never throw them away until they started to die of course.
“I think this is enough roses to last you for a while” she smiled at his sentence still in each other’s arms “yeah me too” she said kissing him once more.

Time For a Change Ch.4
<< – First
<< Prev   |   Next >>
——————————–
Marinette is embarrassed and I’m ashamed of myself
——————————–
“I… think that’s everything?” Marinette questioned quietly after checking that she had all the items on her ‘bring with me’ list… For the third time. After she got back from her meetup with Kagami the day before, she made the list of all the things she would need to pack. She wasn’t stressed about bringing clothing or something like that, but rather about an emergency sewing kit and such.
But wait, wasn’t the wedding supposed to be two days from the meetup? Marinette said so herself!
Yes, indeed she did. But she forgot about one thing.
You see, since her parents were asked to cater for the buffet of the wedding, they had to arrive earlier than all of the guests, including the groom and the bride. While the wedding itself was going to be on December 14th, it was going to start early in the morning – which meant a ton of things to prepare the day prior. Along with being asked to cater, the Dupain-Chengs also held the positions of a bridesmaid and a maid of honor, so they were going to oversee the preparations and make sure everything goes according to plan.
“Marinette! We’re leaving in 15 minutes! Make sure you have everything!”
“Yes, maman!” Closing the suitcase, she sighed in relief. Looking over at the bridesmaid dress, currently laid on her chaise in a garment bag, she started bringing her luggage downstairs. She struggled a little bit, more because of the maneuvering than the weight; She had been working out, after all.
She brought her luggage to the van they borrowed and placed it in the appropriate place and went around to the back to potentially help her parents with loading the cake into the van.
Why ‘Borrowed’, you ask? No? Well, I’m gonna tell you anyway.
The bakery they bought a long time ago wasn’t originally a bakery. Her parents built the bakery from scratch and were happy with the results. At the time, it didn’t even matter to them if the place was small; they were just starting out and were barely known. Even as they became well-known, their customers commented that the bakery was warm and welcoming. The downside was that the building had no garage, which was becoming a problem with their rising number of orders. Thankfully, her parents were grateful for a friend of theirs that provided delivery services. They cooperated on big deliveries and often shared a part of the income. Thus, their problem was solved.
After helping her parents move the cake and many, many pastries, desserts and many more heavenly sweets for the buffet, the family got into the van and begun their two hours long way to the wedding venue.
When they arrived, it was already 10 AM and the workers there were already hard at work. Even though they were present for probably about 3 hours, the venue was barely decorated – but that was acceptable, given the space they were working with. Nadja, being a successful reporter, had met a lot of people in her life and made a lot of friends along the way. It was to be expected that the wedding was going to be big. And by big, we mean Castle of Esclimont big.
From what Marinette saw, chairs and tables outside were already set up randomly with people moving them to find the perfect placement and there were boxes of decorations waiting to be opened. The place was already being decorated with fake and cold-withstanding flowers to give in to the theme of the wedding. The family made their way into the castle, where the rooms for the guests of the wedding were supposed to be.
“Alright, Marinette. If you need us, we will be helping out with the decorations.” Her mother smiled gently, walking out of the room with her husband in tow.
Marinette looked around the room, taking in the details of it. The design of the walls, floor and furniture reflected the style of the building. It held the feeling of being in a royal bedroom. The furniture, while new and modern, was styled in a way that basically screamed ‘history’. But as traditional, antique, old-fashioned, however you may call it, as it was, the hand of modern technology did not just pass by the area without leaving something behind. There was a safe in the corner of the closet, a TV opposite of the bed and the bathroom the room was adjacent to was fully modern.
Which was completely understandable. As much as the old-time look of it all made Marinette admire the building, she (and, probably, everybody else) would certainly not want to pee in a bucket.
Checking the hallway in case her parents forgot something, she closed the door into the room and approached her bed, where she opened her suitcase.
“You can come out, Tikki.”
Tikki immediately flew out of her chosen’s pocket and looked around, darting to every corner of the room. Marinette let her kwami search for a hiding spot while she upacked a few of her things. She didn’t know how long they were going to stay, but if things all went according to plan, they would leave the day after the wedding. She didn’t want to unpack all of her things in case she wouldn’t even use them. She unpacked her hygiene products, her pajamas and casual clothes, putting them into the built-in closet next to the bridesmaid dress.
Last, she brought out her sewing kit and laid it next to the door, where it was easy to find and reach in case of a fashion emergency. Nothing could ruin such a special day. And nothing would.
Marinette could only hope that Hawkmoth wouldn’t decide to send out an akuma while the ceremony was held.
Tikki returned soon after Marinette finished unpacking her stuff and they both made their way outside to see the decorations and help out with the preparations.
When she got there, she saw a glimpse of her father helping carry two tables into the garden. Instead of calling out to him, she searched for her mom.
She found her by the entrance of the castle, carrying various sweats and pastries out of the van.
“Tom already brought the cake in, so all we have to do is take the other desserts over to the kitchen fridge.” Silently, Marinette started picking up boxes of treats from the van and followed her mother into the kitchens. She was pleasantly surprised that the kitchens were well maintained, unlike those in certain restaurants. The place looked properly cleaned, with small exceptions that could be pardoned in such a big kitchen.
After about half an hour later, the van was completely emptied and Marinette and her mother went over to help with the decorations. Being close to the bride, Sabine went over to the woman organizing the furniture and the two discussed the arrangements together. Marinette, not wanting to butt in on their conversation, helped various people with moving the furniture to the appropriate place and, occasionally, suggesting a change of the placement or décor.
They took a small break around lunch, to eat and relax for a bit, before going back and managing the details and making sure the staff at the hotel all knew about the wedding and had instructions on what to do. There was still quite a few things to décor, but that would all be finished in time for the wedding the next day.
At 7pm, they took another break to eat dinner and, again, relax. By that time, the majority of the venue was ready for the wedding ceremony. Sabine even sent Marinette away, saying that they’ve got it handled and she could do what she wanted. She helped out for a little while after that with table decorations, before she decided that she really was tired and went into her room.
She passed by a glass door and, with her curiosity taking over, peeked through the glass. She saw a garden; different to the one where the wedding was to be taking place, which was behind the castle. This one was on it’s side, so it seemed. There was a pretty big pool with folded chairs next to it. Since it was so late, she didn’t see anybody else in the pool garden, so she buttoned-up her coat and stepped outside. As she approached the pool, she noticed an archway on the side of it, connected to a stone wall that wrapped around the area of the garden. It was a pathway into another building that belonged to the castle grounds, trees were planted on one side of the sand path, the other being protected by the castle’s wall. She didn’t want to venture further, though. As guests, they had restrictions and she didn’t want to accidentally enter a place where she wasn’t allowed. She turned around, about to head back into her room, when she heard a rustle in the bushes nearby. Startled, she quickly turned around to get inside as quickly as she could – it was already hard to see outside, after all, when she bumped into somebody.
The impact wasn’t strong enough for her to fall over, but it did make her stumble. She began apologizing straight away.
“Oh my go- I’m so sorry, I wasn’t looking where I was going- I-“ Looking up, she froze in place.
Her first thought was Adrien Agreste.
Why?
Because in front of her stood a boy strangely too similar to her blond classmate.
She would assume it was Adrien further, had she not noticed the distinct differences between the two. For instance, while the boy in front of her had the same shade of golden blond hair as Adrien, they seemed to be a bit longer and combed to the side. His face strangely resembled Adrien’s in the structure, but upon closer look, Marinette could see that he had sharper cheekbones and a more defined jawline. Lastly, the most distinctive feature, his eyes. Instead of green, Marinette stared into a pair of silvery grey eyes.
There was a pause, before Marinette realized the situation they were in and stepped away from him.
“Sorry, I- ” There was another pause, as Marinette took in his appearance. He had a coat on, unbuttoned, and she noticed he wore a formalwear. It was similar to what she saw some of the castle staff wear. Her eyes widened. “-I’m so sorry, I didn’t see any sign that this area was prohibited to guests. Please don’t tell the security, or call your boss, or anything, I was just curious and-”
“Miss, I assure you that you are not in any trouble. This area is indeed available to guests so you do not need to worry.” She sighed out in relief, “Also, I am not an employee.” She stiffened up again, her eyes widening slightly. Great, now she unknowingly insulted him.
“Oh, I’m so sorry! I just saw your clothes and assumed- I’m so sorry.” He nodded, a sign that he took her apology. The conversation seemed to end there, which Marinette didn’t mind. The situation was embarrassing enough and she was glad to head back.
The bush moved again, though, which cause both their heads to turn into it’s direction. She saw the stranger move towards it and reach out to it. A moment later, out of the bush emerged a black kitty. It was more of a cat, but still held the resemblance of a kitten, hinting on it’s young age.
“So that’s what was hiding in there. You really startled me, little guy.” Marinette whispered softly, making the kitty wince slightly before cautiously stepping fully out of the bush. Only after the stranger crouched down did Marinette notice a bag in his hand.
She watched as the stranger pulled the contents of the bag out and handed them to the kitty, who was obviously hungry. She smiled subconsciously, admiring the care he showed. Not in a romantic way, though, but Marinette always admired kind and good-hearted people. There weren’t many of them in the world, after all.
She turned around and left the two alone, walking into her own room.
Tikki scolded her only a little bit for wandering off somewhere this dark and alone. She knew that Marinette would hold her own against many people, but it didn’t ease her worry for the young heroine. If something were to happen to her physically after what she had to endure emotionally in school… Well, let’s just say we wouldn’t want another ‘Plagg accidentally uses cataslysm’ event.
She was simply worried.
Marinette returned to her room a little after 8pm, changing into her pajamas and turning on the TV, she grabbed the sketchbook and filled it with the many ideas for designs inspired by the old-fashioned style of the castle.
Her parents came back a little after 10pm, wishing her a good night before heading into their own room to rest. She followed suit and, after setting up a few alarm clocks to wake up in time to prepare for the wedding, she went to sleep.
The morning was hectic. Marinette couldn’t imagine what Nadja must be going through at the time, because she was nervous as hell, and she wasn’t even the bride. Her morning started normally, with her daily morning routine.
The wedding starts at 10, or at least, that’s when the vendors arrive to prepare for ceremony setup.
Nadja was already in the castle, having arrived in the middle of the night due to personal reasons, and will probably start getting ready for the wedding soon. Marinette wanted to stop by in case she needed help with the dress or to announce that if something were to happen at any time, she is prepared and to find her.
Stepping out of her room, she noticed that the halls were already busy with people running to prepare for the ceremony. She kept her guard up, evaded any possible collisions with others and made it all the way into Nadja’s dressing room.
Knocking on the door, she heard the voice of her mom yell out “Come in! But if you’re the groom, you’re gonna feel my foot on your back as I kick you out!” Giggling quietly, she entered the room and greeted the women. There was only her mom and Nadja that she recognized, then three other young women, who she assumed were friends of Nadja and probably the other bridesmaids.
Nadja was still out of her dress, and it seemed that the preparations were only starting, as the women were only spreading out hordes of make-up and bottles of nail polish on the table now.
“Good morning, mom. Good morning, Nadja. I hope you’re well rested.” Nadja gave her a sheepish and a little nervous smile.
“I mean, as well as a bride on her wedding day can be.” She smiled at the woman, before her attention was switched to her mom, who faced her suddenly.
“Good morning, sweetie, could you please inform your father that I’ll meet with him at the ceremony? I don’t think I will have enough time to tell him myself, so I would need you to give him this.” She handed her a notebook that she grabbed from a nearby table, “And, please, help him out with setting up the buffet.” Marinette nodded and headed for the door, before pausing.
“Oh, Nadja? If there is any problem, I brought an emergency kit. If anything happens, find me immediately.” Nadja bid her thanks and smiled at her appreciatingly. Marinette nodded again and made her way into the kitchens. She found her father and gave him the notebook, which she found out was filled with notes about certain foods and directions on where to put them.
She helped him out with setting up the buffet table and putting up final decorations on the tables. By then, it was already 11am and the vendors were hard at work with their own preparations. The first guests would arrive around 12 o’clock, so by then, she would have to be ready.
She released her hair from her pigtails and put on her bridesmaid’s dress. With a little bit of Tikki’s help, she managed to zip it up and move on to the hairstyle. She looked herself over in the mirror, deciding on what to do with her hair since the bridesmaid’s weren’t instructed on a specific type of hairstyle to use. She decided to leave it simple and put her hair into a bun, similar to the one she did when she was younger, only slightly different thanks to the difference in her hair length from then and now. Last, she let out a few streaks of hair on the sides of her head to better frame her face.
She felt satisfied with the results, the last thing to decide was whether or not she was going to put makeup on. She wasn’t very skilled with it, since she normally didn’t use it, hence her hesitation to do so. In the end, she used a red lipstick and a little bit of blush. At the very least, her red lipstick would match her red earrings.
When she was finally all done, it was almost 12 o’clock. She was surprised by how long it took her to get ready. She grabbed a small red purse (she silently celebrated that she brought it along just in case), where she put her phone and where Tikki would be hiding for the rest of the day – she didn’t need to bring any more of her stuff, since if she needed anything, it was like a five minute walk to her room. Putting the purse around her shoulder, she went over to her dresser where her bodice and flower crown were, put it on and swiftly left her room.
She arrived around the same time as the first guests did, for she saw a pair dressed in formalwear talking to one of the staff who was pointing towards where the ceremony would be held. She went out of the palace and into the garden, pulling the furry bodice closer to her form once she realized how cold it really was.
She waved at her father, who’s eyes widened when his attention switched to her. As she approached, he warmly greeted her with a hug.
“You look beautiful, darling.” Giggling, she did a 360 before walking over behind the buffet table.
“Thank you, same goes to you.” Her father wasn’t one for formalwear, he claimed that it was stretchy and uncomfortable, so he chose not to wear it unless he really had to. But Marinette had to admit, it did look good on him.
Looking over the notebook her mother provided earlier, she began arranging various items on the list into their stated places. She had no idea why the food had an order in which to be placed, but she didn’t question it. She just did as she was instructed. While she did that, her father kept bringing more and more of the pastries. At one point, Marinette worried that it wouldn’t all fit on the table.
She later found out that there was a secret fridge/freezer under the table, out of the eyes of the guests and easily available for the stuff to resupply the table.
They finished quite fast, not even half an hour later, they were finished and left the table for the staff to resupply when needed. She talked with her dad for a while before he was called by a group of people she didn’t know. By the way he greeted them, though, he seemed to know them quite well. She looked around, searching for a familiar face. Spotting none, she turned towards one of the people struggling with the cables for the lightning and sound. She approached them and offered a helping hand.
Halfway through the work, the guests were invited to head over to where the ceremony was being held, so Marinette bid goodbye to the workers (who thanked her for the help), and headed over to the ceremony stand. The ceremony itself wasn’t going to start right away, Marinette guessed it would take another thirty minutes, but she wanted to be able to relax before the main moment of the day starts. That, and in case she had to quickly run away.
She stood of slightly to the side, by the table where the drinks were served – there was literally a punch bowl like in those high school proms on tv. She opened her purse, checking subtly on Tikki while grabbing her phone and opening the news channel.
While Nadja might be absent for a while and a bunch of her coworkers were attending the wedding, there was plenty of reporters still working and being on call if there was an akuma present. She was glad that she didn’t see any alert for one and would had to hope that it would stay that way for the rest of the day. Putting her phone back, she turned around and decided to drink a little before the ceremony.
She went to pour herself a cup of punch, subtly even asking Tikki if she wanted to try it since she never had any and didn’t know how it tasted.
Meow.
She looked around, quite startled by the sound. Was that a cat she just heard?
Her eyes fell to the ground behind the drink table, where the same black kitty from the day before was hiding. Her eyes softened as it meowed again, it’s voice a bit strained.
“You, again? What are you doing here, little guy? You cannot be here.” A meow was the response she got. Her eyes fell on one of the bottles of water on the table. She grabbed one and approached the kitty. She filled the cap with it and offered it to the kitty. It seemed cautious for a bit, sniffling the cap before drinking the water inside.
After refilling the cup five times, the kitty no longer wanted to drink and only kept looking at Marinette and meowing.
“Perhaps it’s hungry?” She heard a familiar voice behind her, and only then realized that the kitty wasn’t looking at her anymore but at something behind her. Turning around, her eyes widened slightly before going back to normal once she relaxed.
“The buffet table won’t do, the items there seem to all contain chocolate. We might need to ask one of the cooks for a roll.” Marinette nodded while the blond approached the kitty slowly. She watched him interact with it, gently reaching out his hand for the kitty to sniff, before gently picking it up. Marinette wondered if she should let him take care of the kitty alone, but she replayed his sentence in her mind and realized that it held an invitation to come along. And, seeing as the ceremony room was still only half full of people, she came along.
It was a silent walk, something that Marinette found slightly uncomfortable for some reason.
“Sooo,” She started, seeing him slightly turn his head towards her as an indication that she had his attention gave her enough confidence to continue, “you’re a guest of the wedding, too, then.” He turned his head back into it’s original position.
“Yes, it would seem that way.” He responded quite blatantly. It would sound a little on the harsher side, but Marinette didn’t see any emotions of annoyance or anger on the boy’s face, so she assumed he was simply being polite. “Perhaps it was cold, it’s not meowing anymore.”
The two paused to look at the kitty. It seemed comfortable in the man’s arms. As soon as it noticed their eyes on it, it meowed again.
“Or not.” Marinette stated, before pausing. “Are cats even allowed in the castle?”
“Even if they’re not, we are just taking it into the reception before taking it right back outside. It shouldn’t cause any trouble.”
She nodded. The two made their way into the reception, where the man dealt with the receptionist who immediately ran over to inform them about the no pet policy.
Marinette left him alone with the kitty and the receptionist while she went into the kitchen. She asked one of the cooks who she met the day before for some rolls, if they had any. They offered her a baguette on the house and she happily accepted.
When she walked outside, she saw the man patiently waiting by the door outside, with the kitty secured in his arms. She walked over to him and the two walked back outside.
“I wonder what’s going to happen to it.” She wondered out loud. The boy looked at her questioningly. She continued, “I mean.. It’s still just a kitty. And it’s about to be winter and this little thing is clearly homeless.” The boy seemed to ponder over her words for a while.
“Well, you could take it in yourself.” She shook her head at the idea, already knowing too many reasons as to why that was a bad idea.
“I live in a bakery and we cannot have pets inside. The possibility of a cat hair being in one of the products is way too high.” She informed him, which he seemed to nod at.
“Perhaps we can ask around if anybody wants a kitty. One of the guests here might be looking for one.”
“Yeah…”
The two reached the garden with the pool, now occupied with a few of the guests. They walked over to the tree they found the kitty the day before and sat it down. Marinette crushed the baguette and picked out the soft inside of it for the kitty. They sat there for a while, just watching the kitty eat.
“Sorry again about yesterday.” The boy looked her way again, silently. He was not much of a talker, Marinette noticed. Or perhaps he just didn’t feel like making big talk with a stranger. “About bumping into you, I mean.” Suddenly, he made an expression different to the neutral one he wore up until now.
She cursed silently, she probably just made him uncomfortable now or something.
“Oh, that was you?”
Marinette blanched.
He didn’t remember her!
She suddenly felt embarrassed again.
What’s with this place always making me feel like a fool?
“Heh… Yeah…” The conversation went quiet after that, and Marinette actually thought about just turning around, saying her goodbye and bolting out of there.
“I apologize. I didn’t quite pay much attention to you yesterday. My focus was mainly on the kitten.” She sighed out, at least he was making an effort to lessen the tension.
“Well, let’s drop the topic. I’d rather not relieve that moment again.” The kitty sneezed and their attention was immediately on it.
“We should leave the little guy here for now. We’ll see if it remains here until after the ceremony is over.”
“Yeah.”
The two stood up and walked back into the gardens. The place seemed to be full with guests, most of them were already sitting in their assigned chairs. Marinette paused, unsure if she should stay and converse with the boy or head over to meet up with the other bridesmaids for the walk down the aisle. But, seeing as he didn’t seem to move either, she stayed.
“In what relation are you to Nadja?” She asked, actually curious.
“I am merely an acquaintance. It’s my mother that actually knows Madame Chamack.” He then looked at her in a way that suggested he was asking the same question.
“My mother and her are long-time friends and our families are actually really close.”
“I see.”
Right in that moment, it was announced that the ceremony was about to start. As the rest of the guests started to walk over into their assigned seats, she turned to the boy for the last time.
“I must say, even though our first encounter wasn’t the best, Mademoiselle…”
“Marinette. Marinette Dupain-Cheng.” She smiled kindly.
“Very well, it was very nice meeting you, Mademoiselle Dupain-Cheng.”
“The pleasure was mine, Monsieur…”
The boy reached out his hand, which Marinette shook gently.
“Felix. Felix Graham de Vanily.”

augh i kept forgetting to post this because i kept wantgin to draw mroe for it but i really suck at emulating Animal Crossing Art Style so im just going to go on a rambling explanation about this under the cut but the basic concept is. they deserve a vacation. and whats more relaxing than animal crossing? probably several things but let me have this ok
id had a bunch of ideas for mroe drawings in this style but Clearly, i am not very good at it, and every time i sat down to Try Again it ended up shitty. this is from literally months ago by now lmao
my Basic Concept was just. take the 3 of them and dump them on an animal crossing island, cause while ive been sick ive been playing a lot of new horizons to try and stay stable, and my brain likes to mush together whatever 2-or-more things im invested in together all the time. here’s some bullet points!
-john really loves diving for sea critters and frequently pulls up those bigass lobsters and eels and shit, he’s got an unnatural knack for it. loves to startle the shit out of dave by just whipping an eel out of his pocket. no thats not an innuendo stop that-- -amy loves planting/watering the flowers but shes not like invested in getting All The Different Types (although that Would be neat) she’s just having fun building a large flower patch. it’s slowly overtaking the island. also dave likes to just kinda sit in the flower patch -speaking of dave he kind of doesnt do much, i think he’d like fishing with john and/or amy and maybe hed like digging up fossils but for the most part hes just chillin, as he deserves to be, -amy likes the DIY recipe stuff though and will frequently politely ask dave to go fetch stuff for her. this has led to most of the villagers/islanders/whateverthetermis, the animal citizens, to have their Main exposure to dave be him wandering around with an axe at 3am because amy’s out of hardwood -speaking of the animal citizens, because i just really like them as a concept, i have no solid concept of who-all would be on their island but whoever they are, john is “friends” with All of them (and by that i mean he says theyre all his friends; whether or not they find him obnoxious Varies,) and amy is genuine friends with most of them/has spoken to all of them at least, and dave rarely if ever speaks to them. hes not very social. most of the animals are a little scared of him until they Actually get to talk to him and then they realize hes just an awkward misanthropic bastard -also in case it wasnt clear id think the 3 of them would all be in one little cabin i mean you can upgrade the shit out of those so they could all feasibly have their own spaces. but also i like polyamory and id say they all 3 share a room because fight me they do itd be cute. also of course the decor of their cabin is absolutely bonkers like listen not only does animal crossing have some weird items but nearly any living space john inhabits most likely has some very strange decor in it !  -tbh actually i think john would do Most of the decor stuff cause like based on the way his house is described i think he’d go NUTS for animal crossing’s Theme Decor Shit i dont know i dont actually do a bunch of that but i sure do think he would! amy would help out esp since she likes the DIY stuff, and i think dave is just kind of ..... allowing this nonsense to happen. letting john be free. probably convincing him to not change the theme every day, maybe every week, if only because it’s a bit of a hassle to have everything Constantly Rearranged.  -hang on wait i just thought of the 3 of them wandering along the beach and picking up seashells and now im like emotional over it bro pls. lovely. -also i jsut realized if daves the guy who digs up fossils he definitely talks to blathers a lot and thats an extremely funny thing to contemplate. the dude who seems to not really liek talking to people and the chatterbox owl. fantastic. you know dave is probably too awkward to tell blathers he doesnt want to hear all thsoe archaeopteryx facts! (also tbh maybe dave would actually like learning stuff) -also. john catches bugs just to give them to blathers and watch him freak out just a little about it.  -john always ends up buying fake art from redd but it’s fine because he just puts it somewhere in or near their cabin. amy however has the uncanny good luck to somehow always find the real artworks! dave doesnt talk to redd, he doesnt really care. -this ones definitely projection because my animal crossing island is a mess (And I Like It That Way Thank U Very Much) but john definitely is the guy who will dump extra furniture at random spots on the island. too much shit in storage? don’t need that Harmonious Chair right now? holding it in ur pockets just because u dont know where else to put it? just dump it on the ground! uncannily, john fuckin Always remembers where he’s put that shit when he happens to need it again. however this does mean sometimes the animal citizens will just ... find a mysterious new chair in their front yard.  -i know that terraforming is a new thing in acnh but i havent done it yet because i dont care about the whole 3 stars rating thing like listen im jsut here to run around and fill the museum if i feel like it but mostly pick up pumpkins and hoard bells for no reason and let my island be taken over by wildflowers. if any of the 3 are into that tho its john or amy--john just for the hell of it, amy would actually like try to Make Stuff of it -their front yard (and back yard if their cabin is put somewhere to allow that) is full of unused furniture as well. and also sometimes random dropped fruits or something, if dave is already carrying a ton when he sees something to dig up. -i think im out of shit to say right now but i might reblog to add mroe so. yes. if youve read this far then holy shit youre dedicated or really bored or something but whatever your reason is i hope this was A Fun Read and if it gave you any ideas Please Tell Me my inbox is open im sick and still in quarantine and i crave human interaction from literally anyone who isnt my parents. thank u

The Flower or the Thorns
Title: The Flower or the Thorns: One-shot
Characters: Bucky Barnes x Reader
Summary: You and Bucky overhear someone saying that you don't deserve him.
Warnings: angst but eventual fluff, vulgar language, mention of drinking, insecurity, mentions of nightmares. 
Word Count: approx. 2500
A/N: Hello everyone 💕I’ll be finishing “Stuck in the Past” soon but I saw this prompt as I was scrolling through fanfiction the other day and I had to write it. I hope you guys like it, it is my favorite fanfiction category which is a shit ton of angst that leads to a shit ton of fluff. 
Stark was having a party and you were kind of excited. As Bucky’s totally normal, not superhero, girlfriend you didn’t get many occasions to hang out with all of the avengers. Sure, you had met them all, and they knew you well considering Bucky never stopped talking about you, but you didn’t get to see them often, besides Sam and Steve. The team loved you, even though the constantly teased Bucky about how he seemed to not speak on any subject unless it included you, they really were grateful for how happy you made Bucky. They could see the change in him once you started dating, him “gushing about his crush” (as Tony once put it) was definitely better than the depressive state he seemed to be in post winter soldier.
Bucky came to pick you up at your apartment for the party and you couldn’t help the blush that formed on your cheeks at the way he looked at you all dressed up. Bucky always made you feel beautiful, constantly trying to convince you you were a flower when you assumed your life was doomed as the thorns. You taught each other what love is. Bucky wanted to make you feel as happy as you made him, and you constantly wanted to make him as happy as he made you. Sure, you didn’t have as terrible of a history as he did, but your souls understood each other’s pain. You may have had different causes for your insecurities, but fire is fire no matter if it was a match or lightning that caused it.
“You look beautiful doll, God I can’t get enough of you.” You still weren’t good with compliments, but when they came from Bucky you wish you could bottle them and keep them forever.
“You look handsome yourself.” Your eyes held so much love that Bucky would never doubt whether your returned compliment was genuine or not.
“Ready to go ma’am.” Bucky teased as he extended his hand for you to grab.
“Of course sir, but would it be inappropriate of me to ask for a kiss first, I don’t think I’ll be able to move until you do so, it’s a very serious condition you see.” You played along with Bucky’s joke. He laughed and grabbed hold of you tightly and gave you what you requested.
When he pulled away, he still had a smile on his face as he rests his forehead against yours “Fuck doll, I don’t think I can handle how much I love you.”
“Language sir.” You replied back. You gave him another quick kiss and then pulled away while grabbing his hand to lead him out of your building. Your energy was infectious, Bucky now felt himself become so excited for the party he was previously dreading, he doesn’t typically like to be around a lot of people, but your excitement made up for his worries.
When you got to the party you and Bucky immediately walked towards where most of the avengers were sitting (except for Tony, he was always who knows where during parties).
“Hi guys!” You say when you see them.
“Hey, it’s good to see you y/n.” Steve says.
“Are you gonna drink with me or will I have to do this alone.” Natasha says, immediately getting to business.
“Sure, I’ll have a drink, but I’m not really in the mood to drunk. So, if that’s your intention, you’ll be on your own.”
“Why is your girlfriend no fun.” Natasha says to Bucky in a fake pout.
“Hey, don’t talk about my girl like that.” Bucky replied back in mock seriousness, and even though Bucky and Natasha were both joking, your heart still fluttered when you heard him call you “my girl.”
You gave Bucky a kiss on the cheek and followed Nat off to the bar to grab a drink. While you were waiting for the bartenders to finish your drink two girls walked up to you. “Are you the winter soldier’s girlfriend?” one of the girls asks you.
Though they appeared to be genuinely friendly, there was something about her tone that was already putting you off even though the conversation just started. You weren’t entirely good at being in the public eye, which didn’t bother Bucky, because he didn’t like it either.
“Yes, Bucky and I are together.” The girl narrows her eyes at you, but before she could say anything Natasha cut her off.
“And speaking of Bucky, it looks like our drinks are here, so we are going to walk back over to him, it was great meeting you girls.” Natasha says to both of the women, not even attempting to make her tone all that friendly. As soon as she hands you your drink she practically pulls you away from the bar.
“I didn’t like them, and I trust my instincts.” Natasha says to you once you are far enough away.
“I felt the same way, I hoped I wasn’t being judgmental.” You reply back honestly.
“You weren’t, I don’t think those girls would have been even as friendly as they were to you if I wasn’t standing there, they kept side eyeing me the whole time.”
“Well thank you Black Widow for coming to my rescue.” You tease her, trying to change the conversation to a lighter tone.
“That’s what superheroes do.” Nat replies back to you. You were surprised she could call herself a superhero even in jest, but it is definitely what she is even if she has a hard time convincing herself of it.
By the time you reach the rest of the avengers again Bucky was sitting down on a chair, but there weren’t many available, so Bucky gestured over for you to sit on his lap, and you easily obliged. Bucky wrapped his arm around you once you sat down, and though it appeared to be casual, you knew that both of you felt more at ease when you were close. You weren’t always in an environment where this level of PDA was appropriate, but when you were able to hold each other close, it helped ease both of your social anxieties.
You both enjoyed the rest of the party, but it was getting late, and you both decided you were ready to go home, as you were walking to exit the building you saw the two girls from earlier standing by the exit. And both you and Bucky froze when you heard your name leave one of the girl’s mouths.
“I don’t understand what he sees in her, he’s been my Shield trainer for weeks and every day when I try to flirt with him, he ignores me. I don’t get it, she’s not even attractive. Did you see the way they were sitting earlier, I honestly feel bad for him, he probably is really embarrassed of her in public, I would be if that were my girlfriend. And to top it all off, your telling me that THAT is better in bed than I would be, ha, I doubt it.”
You felt frozen as you spoke. You felt as it their words are planting briars within your mind, latching on to your previous insecurities as if they were sustenance. But for now, you bury the thorns, only delaying their destruction. You can feel Bucky beside you make a movement to give them a piece of his mind, but you stop him with your hand, giving him a silent look that you wanted to handle this. The girls finally realized they weren’t alone from your movements, but you could tell it didn’t faze the girl that spoke, while the other you could tell wanted to leave the uncomfortable encounter.
“Look, I don’t know you, but I understand you are upset because the person you like doesn’t like you back, that never feels good, but you won’t get what you want from tearing other people down. Like you said, you are beautiful, and one day you will find someone great who will see that, but unless you let your character match your outer beauty, you won’t ever get the thing you want. I’m not the one in your way, from the looks of it, you are in your own way.”
With that you grabbed Bucky’s hand and led him out of the building, feigning confidence as you walked past the girls. As you reached Bucky’s car to go home, you avoided eye contact with him. Bucky didn’t know what to say, trying to gauge your reaction, but he was at a loss, you were trying to distance yourself from him, guard your emotions, but he knew that despite your confident display, those words didn’t come without pain, and it pained him that he couldn’t stop it.
Once you got in the car Bucky tried to meet your gaze, bringing his hand to gently caress the side of your face. “Hey, doll, are you okay.” At that question he could see your eyes become cloudy with tears.
“I’m fine, I just… its fine, can we just go home.” Bucky gazes at you warily.
“Of course, but I just want to make sure you know that none of what they said was true.” He waits a moment for your acknowledgement of his words, but you just look out the window. The drive home was in silence, Bucky didn’t want to push you too hard, but he could tell the conversation didn’t end there. Once you reached your apartment you silently went to your room. Bucky followed after you and sat on the bed as you changed into comfortable clothing. When you were done, Bucky patiently asked if you could sit with him, you obliged but you felt trapped, knowing that the closer you were to him, the more he pried, the more inevitable it was that he would see when you inevitably self-destructed. He grabbed your hand when you sat down. “I just want you to know you are beautiful, you are the light of my life. You have made me so happy, please don’t believe what she said, because it is the furthest thing from the truth.” Bucky eyes started becoming glassy, but you could tell from his shaky grip on your hand he was also battling with his anger at what that girl said.
You once again didn’t reply, unsure if you should release the words suffocating you.
“Please, y/n, you have to understand that you are the best thing that has ever happened to me.”
“Bucky,” you said your voice shaky with emotion and apprehension, “maybe you feel that way, but she’s still not wrong, and deep down you know it even if you don’t want to acknowledge it, I’ve always known it but I was selfishly trying to ignore it so I could be with you, because you are everything I’ve ever hoped for, but you deserve so much better than me. God, you deserve the fucking world, and I am… deficient. I can’t give you the perfection you deserve, I am not what you deserve.” The tears were streaming down your face, your words tasting like a goodbye, but one you’ve tried to suppress for so long, but that has haunted you from the day you met him.
You weren’t looking at Bucky, you couldn’t see the pain on his face, or the utter shock at your words. But when he spoke, you could tell that he was crying, “How could you believe that y/n. I don’t understand, if anyone isn’t deserving, it’s me who isn’t deserving of you. I only want what you can give me, just one kiss from you is enough happiness to last me a lifetime, and you have brought me so much happiness already. You are everything I could ever hope for and more. Please don’t leave me over this, because I would spend the rest of my life trying to find someone that would compare to you.”
You finally look at him, and the sincerity and pain on his face crumbled you. Your instincts and your heart were tearing you in two. Your words were now laced with uncertainty rather than its previous resolve, “But I’m a mess Bucky, I have problems, and you should be with someone that doesn’t burden you.”
“Doll,” he says with his voice soft, “you are the furthest thing from a burden, everyone has problems, and I want all of you, not a sanitized version of you or anyone else. You are the person that helps me through my anxiety every day, you are the person that is there to hold me or make me feel better after a nightmare, you are the person to make me laugh more than I did for most of my life. I wish you could see how I see you. I love you so much. You leaving me isn’t what would save me, you being with me, your smile, your wit, your laugh, your eyes, your intelligence, and your compassion, are what save me every day. Please don’t do this.” His words were gentle but pleading.
Your lip trembles, “I love you so much, I don’t want to leave you, I just am afraid one day you will wake up and believe that everything she said was the truth. I’m sorry.” Your voice cracking at the end of your words as your tears continued to fall.
He finally reaches out to you and pulls you into him, cradling you in his lap, and he holds you tight. “Hey, it’s okay, you don’t have to apologize, and I swear to you that day will never come. I’ve never been more sure of something in my life.”
You continued to cry in his arms, but the tears felt more like relief. He whispered loving words as you began to calm down, and when your crying finally stilled, Bucky felt like he could finally breathe again.
When your heartbeat returned to a normal pace, you pulled your face away from where it was buried in his shirt. “I think I might have ruined your shirt with my makeup.” Your voice was still slightly scratchy from crying but held your familiar lightness, and it brought a smile to Bucky’s face.
“I don’t care about my shirt doll, all I care about is that you feel better, I don’t know what to do with myself when you are upset. I’m sorry that all of this happened, I’ll speak with Tony about getting her switched with a different trainer.”
“Okay, do what you are comfortable with, but it’s not really her fault that I’m upset, my insecurity has always been there, she was just the one that brought it to light.”
“Doll, if you ever are feeling insecure again tell me, and I will do whatever I can to prove to you how much you mean to me.”
“I love you so much.” You say as you pull Bucky in for a bruising kiss, and your heart melts when you feel his smile as he kisses you back with just as much passion.

Happy Birthday - Jamie Oleksiak - Headcanon
Just a quick headcannon for my Tumblr BFF @iculyrea​ cause it’s her Birthday today! Happy Birthday Girl! Love ya and hope your day is as freakin amazing as you are!
Tumblr media
Jamie would wake up early so that he could make you a special breakfast.
He would then have it laid out all nice on a tray to take to you up in bed.
“Happy Birthday, Baby!” he’d walk in the bedroom, waking you up.
“You did this for me, Jame? That’s so sweet.”
He’d crawl back in bed with you so the two of you could eat together.
Once breakfast was over, he’d lead you downstairs where he has tons of balloons around the kitchen island.
Laying in the middle would be a very poorly wrapped present, but you thought it was adorable because you knew he wrapped it himself.
There’s a homemade card on top of the box, and beside it, is a fake plant. An inside joke about how the two of you got together.
Every now and then he would surprise you with flowers, but you had more little fake plants around the house than you could count.
“Jamie, this is too much!”
“Open the box.” And of course, you couldn’t resist.
The box was Chanel and your heart skipped a beat, hoping it was the handbag you’d had your eye on all quarantine. Which it is of course.
“Jamie, how did you?” wondering how he’d actually got it in the house without you seeing it.
“It wasn’t easy. I tracked this down to the second, so you wouldn’t see it.”
You’d wrap your arms around him and kiss him passionately, which led to you thanking him properly on the kitchen counter.
Afterwards, he’d ask you what you wanted to do.
You’d give him a sly little smile.
“Uh oh. I know that look. What are you thinking?”
“The only thing I want to do is shave off that mustache.”
“Ugh, (Y/N) are you sure? I worked so hard on it.”
You’d nod a yes. “Well…since it’s your birthday.”
You’d head into the bathroom, and he’d hand over the razor. Taking your time, you’d shave off the offensive handlebars first.
He look so good clean shaven, you couldn’t help but make out with him for an extended period of time.
In the afternoon, the two of you went for a walk. Holding hands and stealing kisses the entire time.
When your shoe became untied, you went to stop to tie. Instead Jamie, would bend down so you could hop on his back and he could give you a piggyback ride the rest of the way back.
He loved carrying you around. It was one of his favorite things.
Jamie had dinner ordered in from your favorite restaurant.
He had the dining room all set up, champagne flutes on the table along with a beautiful bouquet of roses in the middle. No fake plant this time. Soft candlelight filled the room and made it super romantic.
He’d made the whole day and night all about you.
For dessert he had your favorite cake, with a few candles lit on top.
He’d sing you Happy Birthday, though it was a bit off key. It was still the sweetest.
The rest of the night was spent in front of the fire, drinking champagne and making love.
“Thanks for making this birthday the best one ever.”
He’d smile softly at you. “So it was the best even being in quarantine? You wouldn’t have rather had a big party or something?”
“You’re the only think I need for my birthday, Jame, or any day for that matter.”
“I love you, (Y/N).”
“I love you too, Jamie.”

Hobbit Soulmate Pt 37
Tumblr media
“You’re doing it again,” Tracy said once in the set with you for your next scene post lunch you’d mostly read through while Lee continued to bask in the hype of the news of how his film was doing numbers wise. Head turned your eyes fell on her and she said, “You are sulking. Are you sleeping?”
“Ya,”
Inching closer she asked in a try to be playful tone to ease out a smile from you, “Your teddy bear miss a phone call?”
“No, Richard called and messaged twice yesterday.” Her brows arched up through a smirk and you sighed, “He hid something in the closet. Spent weeks making sure I didn’t ‘know’ anything was there under his clothes and he left and now the cubby is empty.”
Her hand planted on your arm, “Oh, like a second phone? Or something?”
“Lee said he saw him at a jewelers in town while I was in New York for my table reads.”
“Oh,” she said with tone perking up.
“And I don’t even expect gifts, but he’s gone for months away from me and he left me a sweater and I’m trying not to pout at not getting the gift he’s so terrible at hiding that he has for me, but,” after a quick sigh you said, “A gift would have been nice.”
That had Tracy giving you a hug, an action luring Lee’s gaze from across the set to you and your moment of allowing your sunken expression read across your face, “Honey bunny, maybe it’s a welcome home to England present for when you see him again. I knew he was up to something, he is terrible at hiding things from you, even my sharing I was taking you for a manicure he was ready to explode for our weekend out while he was off on those night shoots.”
“I’ll be fine, and I’ll stop sulking.” She chuckled again and rubbed your back walking with you across the fake bar for your first marks and where she could find her drink covered tray prepped and ready to go.
“If my teddy bear left the country with the chance of more than a sweater I’d be sulking too. Don’t you feel bad, besides, I don’t think I’ve seen you with more than those studs in your ears since I’ve known you. You need some bling girl.”
“I really do,” you said twisting the ring on your left ring finger of metal flowers for this role feeling the necklace cold against your skin shifting under the collar of your furry collard coat once again.
.
All over the news the footage of the Oscars was being replayed, namely the clip from Adrien’s award for Lead male when he forced a kiss upon Halle Berry making you bury your face in your hands. “Didn’t even ask,” Lee muttered at your shift to plop your covered face on his thigh.
On your other side Tracy said, “And you have to work with that asshole. I look forward to the press of you bashing his face in.”
Lee said, “You and me both,” rubbing your back.
Tracy, “I still don’t like him, and you have to kiss him? I wouldn’t kiss him.”
Turning your head you looked to the replay and sighed, “Certainly don’t want to, but it’s just the one scene if I can’t talk Peter out of it.”
The press certainly didn’t help and while given the equivalent of a wag of the finger Adrien celebrated the win as the youngest male to ever receive it for Lead Male. Three days after his ride of that press wave and interview circuit the truth came crashing down to news of who was hired to play Ann Darrow. One sigh was his response to the question from a photographer on his path out and about for what he thought of the news only doubling down the urge to break down the actor’s resolve to loathe your being part of the franchise at his side.

“Fifteen bucks, you are telling me you bought those for fifteen bucks?!” Chris all but shouted when his brother displayed the rings upon their arrival at his home from the airport.
Richard just had to show someone and figured Chris would be the best ally in this as he had helped him patch things up with you every time he flubbed things. “I bought the cabinet I found them in, and,”
“Oh I heard that part. Still don’t get how the pair of you can luck into that. These are incredible, I mean she certainly deserves this ring. Just leaving the question,”
“Don’t ask me when, Joe loves the ring and knows I have it, I just have no bloody clue when I could possibly hand it over. And I’ve had it for weeks with her out in Canada and the only time I could actually get it on her finger was when she was asleep. How the hell am I supposed to find some mysterious ‘perfect’ way to ask her when she’s conscious to marry me?! You know me!”
Chris nodded and said, “You got a point,” turning his head, “I idea list, that’s what we can do!” Crossing the room to fetch a notepad and pen.
.
Five episodes on Ultimate Force to the infidelity casual Cold Feet role the slump of one kiss after another not feeling right or orders to strip and redress again and again for those not you only deepened for Richard while growing ready for his next role. A tv mini series called Between the Sheets, another unfaithful role and one with the biggest drama and to his impression depth to the character also doubled for his most sexual. From a faked blow job to his several love scenes with the lead female to whom his character was married worry seemed to bubble up concerning what impressions would be once it aired. All the way from his parents to you and friends who might think it was the wrong choice of roles. Calls to you however seemed to bolster his hopes you might like it and not be jealous or upset of his behavior with another.
“Today was odd,” he sighed through the line on his phone call to you.
“Oh I think whatever it was it will be amazing.” You teased back mid swipe of your sponge over the dish you were cleaning with phone pressed to your shoulder.
“My co-star raked her nails across my butt cheeks, at least the sex scenes and my arrest are over with, now I just have my breakdown scene where I reveal my infidelity.”
“I’m beginning to think there’s a pattern growing in your roles, dying and dirty deeds.”
Lowly he chuckled, “Well I do play a good villain.”
“Oh psh, you wouldn’t hurt a paper swan.” Making his smile creep wider imagining your smile and what you might be wearing, “I am glad you will have tons of work coming out so we can have some more parties for you. I do love celebrating you Richy Bear.”
“I love you,” he hummed smile locked wider at the nickname knowing the smirk you always had when you said it. “Can’t wait for you to be back here. How’s the show?”
“Uh, tad bit insensitive and a touch racist but it’s certainly unique for a resume. Spring scenes should be better, even have that kid from Disney, Spenser something, has a spot on the show. I get to pin him to a wall.”
“Sounds like fun, I know it will be fantastic with you in it.”
“Either way I just can’t wait for it to be out already. It’s the waiting that will end me, ’05 is when it’s coming out, same as Kong but a few months earlier, over a year, Lee waited nearly three for his film.”
“We’ll just have to keep you distracted then won’t we?”
“Oh really now? And just how will you do that?” You asked drying your hands at the end of the dishes heading to your couch to lounge for the rest of the call feeling his smirk through the line.

Tumblr media
Another month hadn’t seemed to help things on that front with questions still lingering on how you could morph from one lead role to the next. Re-using your playful purple low dipping dress alone on Valentines Day you sat in the town car sent for you with hands interlocked on your lap waiting for this film to just be over. Eyes shut you forced yourself to relax in this communication lull of a supposed to be romantic holiday where you still had no bling to show off.
Brad and JLo fresh off their engagement alongside Jennifer Garner with a hopeful relationship on the horizon only made things worse on your painfully throbbing heart. Colin Farrell however seemed to save the day for you latching onto your bare side for the whole of the carpet at your reaching his location and even in the flash of the $1 Million triple pink diamond engagement ring on JLo’s finger made you grateful for the instant carpet buddy eager to catch up with you and hear about what you were up to in Canada after having seen your film twice now. Alone however your seat was bumped back to the row of extras who shared your curiosity on how little you would be fleeting across the screen of this film. Loud and boisterous at the club they had chosen for the after party the crowd helped in your slip out of the venue to hail a cab home to yet another empty apartment. Stretched out across your bed to wait for the time to leave and catch your flight to England where a late romantic morning bagel might help to make up for how you feel right now.
.
Tumblr media
Right off your feet into a tight hug you were lifted. Still in your dress with Richard’s sweater and your coat over the dress hinting that you had to leave the party to make your flight in a rush down to the tall heels you had to take off for most of the day long flight. Already outside the cameras snapped away ready to spread that assumption when, post loving kiss, Richard took hold of your suitcase and duffel bag murmuring sweetly, “You bought a second bag.”
“Yes, seems I have picked up more clothes recently, and the shoes I got with the Jens didn’t help either.”
“I am just glad you have more things, I wasn’t fond of all your things fitting in one bag alone.” Leaning in he pressed another kiss to your forehead, “Let’s get you home, got a nice breakfast planned for you and day of relaxing before our table read tomorrow.”
Waiting on the set table a stuffed rhino sat beside a candle holder, around its head in a crown of sorts rested a silver bracelet with five round emeralds. “Happy late Valentines, they were out of roses,” he hummed lifting the bracelet that around the wrist he raised to lovingly secure it. Awkwardly a grin split across your face in the press of his lips to your palm and knuckles afterwards.
“It’s really beautiful, perfect gift, thank you, and I love the rhino too.” Spreading his own smile as you added, “My dad tell you I love emeralds?”
“Might have mentioned it,” he hummed back, “Sadly it was that one or some large joined bangle type design a bit too flashy I think for subway wearing for you to feel safe.”
“You would be right in that, bangles drive me a bit crazy too, have to wear some for the show. Thank you, really,” you said crashing into his chest for a tight hug he melted into holding you close to your murmur of, “Don’t know how you managed to keep this a secret so long.”
To himself he chuckled easing his arms more across your back, “Nearly killed me. I hate secrets from you.” His smile easing out more at your shift closer to his chest unaware of the much bigger jeweled secret hidden in his house Chris had aided in finding the least conspicuous place to put the rings. Time apart was shared in the joint task of fixing up a breakfast cuddled through and after. Lunch again was alone however supper happened to be part of a potluck ambush from the Armitage brood here to welcome you back again and plan out more time together.
.
Back in sweaters, boots and jeans you and Richard were off for the day. Hand in hand through the building you were directed to you arrived at the desk outside the appointed room where a smiling aid showed you both inside the lounge filled with couches and armchairs facing inwards towards the rug coated area in the center clearly for acting out the scenes if need be with named binders on each cushion. Tucked in one of the loveseats you and Richard were assigned your spots nearest to the director and with her darting off to fetch you some tea the binders were lifted to allow you to settle in. With a bashful grin between you at being the only ones here so far. “I think we might be a bit too early.”
“No such thing,” he hummed smiling at you then to the door as it opened again.
Through it Anna Martin, playing Bessy Higgins came through the door with a relieved sigh, “Not too late then, got stuck in that roundabout, vans wouldn’t let me over, Anna,” she said crossing the room with hand extended shaking Richard’s hand first in his quicker pop up then yours.
“Richard,”
“Jaqi, hi.” Releasing her hand to say, “Bessie, right?”
“Yes, I could have sworn you were British, but I must have seen you with several accents in your work.”
Richard chuckled, “Halfway at least by our math.”
“I do spend a good bit of the year here had tons of time to pick up the accents.”
Kay Lyon was next beside Brendan Coyle, playing Mary and Nicholas Higgins with the latter muttering about the same roundabout then joined in on the introductions. Brian Protheroe was next for Mr Bell followed by the two Thorntons finishing up Richard’s on screen family, Sinéad Cusack and Joy Joyner. Tim Pigott-Smith, Pauline Quirke, Lesley Manville, Rupert Evans filled in your family, Richard, Dixon, Maria and Frederick for the Hale household. For the Lennox brood Travis Oliver, John Light and Emma Ferguson were to be the captain, Henry and Edith. Jane Booker for Mrs Shaw led in the Boucher brood played by William Houston, Caroline Pegg and Spencer Wild. Seats filled one by one and with tea handed out the Director smiled taking their seat beginning their welcoming speech to open the first scene when the work was to get going.
One week this room was your daily stop with the floors below used to help each of you with your first fittings for your outfits through the show. Hair and makeup tests were next and surprised by the stretch of your curls a lovely few choices to pick from the team loved with ample spots for your unruliest of curls to slip out and dangle around your head gracefully helping with the scenes you would be playing exhaustion. Playful twists at Richard’s side fluffed and twirled your skirts luring the blushing grin from the top hat wearing brooder formerly scowling in focus while apart from you. Clearly the brooding surly side to John he had down, for everyone else it was how Richard looked at you adoringly between speaking to others that melted doubts on how convincing the blossoming love would show on screen.
.
Tumblr media
Broken hearts came first, amid the drama of the brewing strike ready to bubble over courting another woman and pained glares came from Richard. Curt interactions and gruff inquiries and responses out of John to Margaret while he meant to uncover why she was not choosing to share her troubles with him. This was post betrayal when he deemed her to have been free with showing affections to some mystery man you’d yet to film yet, starting right in the pain of it all to bubble out to both the beginning and end while the country turned greener again when Spring came back around. Some might have imagined it to be rough to split from that harsh contrast, those who did not notice each teasing smile or face from you tearing a chuckle filled smile from Richard between the blush inducing pecks you stole on toe top pecks on his nose with each hushed argument.
The darkest of scowls came on the day the strike would break and if you hadn’t stayed close to show how much of a teddy bear Richard was the other men, especially Boucher who ‘threw’ the stone to knock Margaret unconscious in front of the mob in her try to save John from the harm’s way she pushed him into. Five takes of the brewing stress came with ease after the first try to see Richard not jump the rail and rush to throttle the actor. A rubber stone by a staff member above on a camera platform who lined up the toss to hit the spot a hidden makeup artist would sneak out once you’d done the collapse take enough times to play out the sprawled position for the streak of blood along your hairline. A task filled with hushed giggles from you until action was called again for Richard to lift you up and carry you inside again.
From this the next week would be scenes apart to meet up at the wardrobe building on the way to supper. The depression of the winter months and hardships of the funeral scenes bubbled to just one. In the midst of filming the scenes of the Hales arrival to Milton giggles slipped out between jokes traded between you and the female cast members who had been buried and still showed up to work still. Hints of green on the first flowering bushes outside had Richard smiling knowing that the romantic ending was coming up along with that devastating refusal or marriage for John he hoped to be the only time he would get a refusal to a proposal from you. He never had the thought pop into his head before, there wasn’t a reason for you to refuse to marry him. True it’d just been a slightly teasing glimmer in the distance with close friends and relatives but forever was his goal and to his own mind he had made that apparent. Now the question had bubbled up again of how.
Tumblr media
Brendan smirking in your latest break between sets inched over in the gentle blow you gave to the steaming tea helping to warm you up on the nippy end to winter. “You are actually adorable you know.” Having caught Richard’s stolen kiss on his way to head to his office for more scenes post street interaction with you.
Smiling up at him you said mid giggle, “Thank you, you are quite adorable yourself.”
Deeply he chuckled to himself and said, “I have to admit I was a bit intrigued to see how things would go between the pair of you with all that press around you and that brunette out in Canada.”
“Oh,” you said lowering your mug to let it cool accepting help from one of the aids taking your shawl to shake the fake cotton off the back of it, “That’s Lee, my best friend from Drama School, out in Canada we’re on a show together picking back up in the end of Spring.”
Anna who’d snuck up said, “That’s good to hear, you do make a perfect couple. Some guys I know would be up in arms over a flub like that.”
That had you giggle after another blow on your tea, “Well he knows Lee, we’re all good friends so I think that’s part of it. Plus he is a tad amused that he’s been called my Boy Toy,” making the pair chuckle as you giggled again, “We’ve gotten used to long distance and I suppose it really comes down to trust issues for guys, hell even one of the women on set, another of my former classmates who I’m rumored with. All just fluff, even they get giggles out of it.”
Brendan asked, “Boy Toy? They really looked at him and picked that?”
“Exactly his amusement. At least he didn’t take it as a demotion from Partner, just let them make up their own stories.”
On his own the title had been used by Brendan between takes with his scenes with Richard luring a blushing laugh from the lanky man meant to be towering over him helping to ease the tension from their scene, one of many of their battles of wills. By far helping to improve a friendship of sorts with one of his scene partners he spent the longest with aside from his fake family.
.
It was a Monday, like any other, but the big day had come, the day John’s heart and trust would shatter in Margaret and be seen with another man at night un-chaperoned in a loving embrace. The start of a trio of night shifts on the set had come and let Richard sneak in his plan. “Be right at the car, forgot my notepad.”
“Ok,” you said stepping out of the front door with his keys in hand, “I’ll start the car,” wiping your eyes still half asleep nothing seemed to be off in Richard’s double back to grab something, just what he needed. Post peek out the curtain on the window by the door he turned shifting the coat tucked in his arm hurrying to the spare bed. Off the top shelf high above where you could reach he pulled the two now wrapped ring boxes with notes on them. The one with the note for you he left in the center of the table with the second he settled in the cupboard above the fridge you wouldn’t bump into. Off the counter he grabbed the notepad tucking that under his arm to go and join your no doubt napping self already waiting for him in the car.
.
Betrayal was swiftly followed by refusal, in the brighter gray of the morning once the proposal turned argument with him storming right out of the set was the beginning and end of your shift. Ready to be out of your corset tears were close coming to blurring your vision for how emotional these scenes were and what you had to draw from to get to the reactions required. Out from the men’s wardrobe room eyes had shifted over Richard at his own anxious shuffling his way through getting dressed again and out to the hall to meet up to head home.
Awkward silence seemed to fall over the car between stops to pick up lunch from a fancier eatery than you frequented paired with a bottle of wine from there to go with the dinner. All the scents of the meal had you glancing over at Richard who glanced back with a flash of a wide smile then looked away again. “I think it went well today.” You squeaked out and he looked back with another smile.
“Everyone loved it. Yes, I think we really did the argument and the suspicion behind Frederick fleeing justice. Now we just have to do the hiding period where John can’t come inside only heightening things before the trips away to film the whole convention portion.”
“Ya, then we just have to kill off Mr Hale and do the whole Southern scenes before the big reunion scene at the station. Then I think it’s just more meddling from Mr Bell, right?”
“Yes, and your face off with John’s mother at the empty mill after my goodbye from Nicholas.” Again he looked you over asking, “You are enjoying this film?”
“Oh ya, no question about it. I mean I do miss the actual mental play by play from the book, especially John’s,” making him smirk at your hand tapping his arm, “You do impeccable with subtle things it’s just, I love the words it makes him so much more adorably soppy compared to his rough shell.”
“I get that,” he hummed back patting his hand on your knee not ready to take your hand to give away his thundering pulse. “I do love Margaret’s words over her own swooning. Plus I do miss the private moment where he clings to her after being struck in the head.”
A twinge more of the awkward was gone at his hand moving from the shifter to stroke his fingertips across your knee drawing shapes to distract himself ready to no longer have to live without the weight of that ring on his finger. This would be bold, insisting on wearing his ring as well for his own engagement ring and most likely could explode on the news when the press would catch onto the matching rings and assume that you had already run off and eloped. Which could be more likely in the next slew of auditions and the magazine spread you were to film that Peter had set up to your schedule for the cast of King Kong with another for you and Richard around the Beast of Bards film and its progress so far in theaters. But that all came after his having to ask the question.
You did as you always did, taking the bag of food while he grabbed the wine, sturdier hands when it came to glass he followed you inside. With a smirk he failed to hold back right across his face hidden by his turn to lock the door saying practically in a hum, “If you’ll set out the food I’ll pop the wine.”
Tumblr media
Behind you he crept smiling wider on your path to the table, inside the kitchen he set the wine bag down leaving his coat beside it to sneak the cupboard open to grab the wrapped box he palmed. His eyes fixed on your back for full view of the pause you took eyeing the box on the center of the table beside the candleholder you didn’t notice he’d put out the night before along with the special table setting. Carefully the bag was set down and to the box you moved lifting the indigo ribbon wrapped box with white paper coated in blue floral outlines and a note. ‘Give me to Richy Bear.’ A heart was drawn beside the words and lifting the box that adorable puzzled smirk he loved spread across your face.
Nice and confused into the kitchen you walked finding him looking you over, smile split free as you held out the box, “This is for you?”
“Thank you, trade you, my Dearest Love.” He said accepting his box for the one in his hand identically wrapped. ‘I pick the wine, you chose the spoons, My Dearest Love.’
Watching him your eyes narrowed with hold of the puzzling box while he eased the ribbon off his to pull the side of the paper off. His smile wide in his glance up to say, “Don’t wait for me,” back to the box in your hands your eyes dropped and with your free hand the end of the ribbon was undone to set aside with the note left on the counter. Out of the side of the folded paper you eyed the box inside keeping the lid side upright unwrapping the rest of the paper set aside too.
Upon opening his wrapping paper Richard blinked eyeing the message that was meant to be on your box alone Chris must have written across both. ‘Marry Me?’ Lifting the lid he flashed your way he hummed out in a means to pretend this was planned, “Of course I’ll marry you!” Instantly your eyes shot up and the distance was closed while you read the lid he was holding. Eyes eased shut for a lingering kiss that in the thunder of your heart almost had your knees give out.
Tumblr media
In the pull back his eyes dropped to your box reading the same message that your free hand moved to take the lid off in his silent hint, the smile inducing rock inside found you gently reaching in with your fingers to ease it out. A task taken slower in noticing the top lifting up while he dangled his pouch from around his thumb. Richard smiled taking the box away to let you hold the geode box you eased open revealing a velvet pouch.
You must have skipped a second because in the view of the box Richard appeared in your view now on his knee with hands tenderly folded around your wrist making shapes in your skin asking, “Will you go on this adventure with me?”
“I love adventures,” you wisped out making his smile split wider.
“Well then open the pouch.” He hummed with eyes following your hand in his timid rise hoping he was doing this all perfect for you to look back on for years to come in claiming the geode box when you lifted the pouch.
Tumblr media
Wide eyed you gawked at the ring, “You did not buy this!”
Your eyes met his and he shook his head, “Nope, you did.”
“Oh really? And how did I do that?” You asked with an instant playful challenging smirk to his deepening smile.
“I didn’t hunt down the old owner of that cabinet over some pens and a music box.” He drew out his ring showing you that one while sharing, “Hercule thought he lost these rings in that house fire. The geode box was inside that cabinet and that contract I told you about was about these rings. They were scuffed up and I took them to get cleaned and appraised.”
“Rich, how much is this ring?”
“No less than you deserve.” Your lips parted and he smiled saying, “They both have spoon engraved inside.” Again your smile split awkwardly out across your face.
“That’s why you wrote that note on mine, like their story.”
“Exactly,” he wet his lips and reached for the ring on your palm along with your left hand, purring, “You don’t want to wear it?”
“Rich you didn’t have to buy me a ring.”
“Yes I did, I wanted a ring! Be rude not to get you one to match.”
“Will it even fit? It’s huge.”
“It fits, you nearly didn’t give it back when I tried it on your finger.” He said easing it back onto your finger with eyes shining brightly as he did to your gasp.
“Where was I when that happened?”
“Sleeping,” he chuckled leaning in to kiss you again, just melting around you at the loop of your arms around his neck for the celebratory embrace lasting even after the kiss had ended, for a close eyed hug to cling to one another.
“I would have woken up if you put this on me.”
That made him chuckle into your shoulder, “You almost did, rolled over burying your hand into the pillow. You like it?” He murmured inching back to see your face.
“I love it, it’s still huge though.” In front of you he dangled his pouch that you smirked in accepting, “This is your ring?”
He nodded and said, “Which I plan on wearing.”
“Today?” You asked with a smile and he nodded.
Tumblr media
“Right here, right now and every day from here out. You bought it for me and I intend on boasting endlessly.” Once out of the pouch this ring widened your eyes as well and he lifted his hand saying, “They’re absurdly big compared to what I could have afforded until Bard is out of theaters. But you have to admit, fifteen bucks for these second hand suits us.” Up his finger the ring slid and came to rest and he said, “If you must know, both are 24 karat white gold. My center emerald is seven carats and the onyx and diamonds are a half a carat each. While your emerald is eight carats and the diamonds and smaller emeralds are one carat each. That’s all I’m telling you about them, other than the jewelers I went to said when you want we could go there to design your wedding band, on which I was clueless.” He looked you over in your moment of pause, “What are you thinking for bands?”
“Well, my cousin we went to her wedding,” which he nodded at remembering the ceremony at the courthouse and party on the family land while you were filming Elektra before her husband shipped out so he could leave her charge of his property that wouldn’t go to his family. “She picked one of those eternity bands with hearts, I did like that design.”
His grin eased out again, “That sounds beautiful.”
“Though hers was nearly three grand,”
“Don’t you worry about the price. I have money saved up, money is not an issue.” His hands eased on your hips to draw you closer to his chest, “I know getting through school was so difficult, I’ve been scraping by too for a decade before I had even met you finding what I loved. I will always do my best to ensure that we have a solid financial footing, and I do know you are getting paid crazy amounts of money for your roles. Even if I never get another check like off of Bards, I will be here, and I will never use that as any sort of,” he sighed and said after wetting his lips. “I am so proud of you, and where some men may feel they have to be the bread winner even if you out earn me I will never let that get between us. And I will do all I can to make you not feel like you can’t depend on me to help fund our lives.”
“I never thought that. I would never.”
“I know, but it may come up for others, I couldn’t afford this ring on my own if not for having found it, but I do hope one day comfortably I might be able to afford one half as much as this without worry on bills around it once this Bard money is gone. So you pick the band you want and we’ll get it for you. If it helps your dad loves the rings.”
“How did you show him?”
“Sent him a picture when I got them cleaned. And I bet you he’s shown them around.”
“No wonder his voice has been squeaking, you made him wait months! And where the hell did you get that geode box?”
He chuckled again, “They were both in the geode box, they were scuffed up from it when I found it, so that’s why I left yours in the pouch. I’m gonna open the wine.”
“Right,” you said breaking your smile up at him, “Food,” you said turning back to setting the table for the start of the rest of the romantic evening until it was bedtime. Calls to family put a lot of people out of their joint misery and kicking the plans into a slow grind for what and when you might want a ceremony to be. And in cleaning up came the start of an adorable habit where you would tap his side or arm to say with a smile, “We’re getting married,” or “Fiancé,” always splitting a massive smile across his face in his move to scoop you up for a loving kiss and tons of cuddles.
Tumblr media
That evening for another shoot however you stood looking at your ring through cooking before heading out, “We wear them to work, right? I mean we have those lockers, they seem pretty sturdy with cameras.”
“Other actors wear jewelry to work, we will be safe wearing them.”
The fact proven to be true from the sight of the new rings security took mental notes to mark you among the cast working with jewelry to have that locker room under surveillance ensuring that it remained off limits to those not assigned there. Cameras stationed outside the studio however with view of the parking garage on the way in and out honed in on the new sparkle on your finger mirrored by his in a wave to them upped the shadows on the path out the morning after.

Taehyung smiled fondly as he watched his little girl clamber her way up onto his bed, her curls bouncing with as much energy as she had. It was hard for him to believe how lucky he was. Your daughter, the spitting image of you, had Tae wrapped around her finger.
“I thought I told you to go to your own bed?” Tae lightly scolded as she finally managed to get herself up.
She giggled as she jumped up and down on the king-sized mattress. “But I’m not tired yet.”
“It’s two hours past you're bedtime.” He reminded her.
“We should just stay up all night!” She exclaimed excitedly while attempting to perform a summersault.
“I don’t think so, flower. You need to get some sleep, so you have enough energy to go play with Uncle Kookie tomorrow.”
The reminder of her playdate with Jungkook had the girl falling onto her back, fake snoring. Tae watched in amusement as she tried to convince him she was asleep. He laughed and padded over to the bed, carefully lifting his daughter into his arms.
She suddenly looked up at him, curiosity in her eyes as she asked, “What’s a soulmate?”
Tae was taken aback by the sudden question. “What?”
“Uncle Jiminie and Uncle Kookie said that you and Mommy are soulmates. What does that mean?”
Tae chuckled to himself as he sat on the edge of the bed and wrapped his arms around his daughter. He thought about her question for a moment before finally answering, “It’s a... well it’s like a best friend but more.”
“Are you and Mommy best friends?” She asked, her eyes glued to her father with rapt attention. “Is that why you and Mommy are soulmates?”
Tae smiled. “I suppose so, but a soulmate is so much more than just being friends.”
“Then what else is a soulmate?”
“It’s the one person in the world that knows you better than anyone else. It’s someone who makes you a better person.”
She frowned. “How?”
“Actually,” Tae corrected, “they don’t make you a better person, you do that yourself, because they inspire you. It means if you’re soulmates, you try to help the other person live the best life possible. You know how Mommy and I always tell you to be nice to the other kids and to always share your toys?”
She nodded.
“Well, a soulmate helps make sure you do that. They help make the world seem a little bit brighter because they make you happy.”
“Does Mommy make you happy?” She asked.
Tae’s smile grew as he nodded. “Very happy. Your mommy makes me the happiest man in the world. But just making you happy isn’t enough either. A soulmate is someone who you carry with you forever. You never let them go. You’ll be best friends forever, no matter what. It’s the only person who knew you and accepted you and believed in you before anyone else did, or when no one else would.” Tae smiled up at you when he saw you quietly walk into the room. When he spoke his again, his eyes remained locked with yours. “And no matter what happens, you’ll always love them. Nothing could ever change that.”
“Will I ever find a soulmate?” She asked, looking between you and Tae.
“I hope so.” Tae said, turning his attention back to his daughter with a soft smile. “But not everyone is as lucky as Mommy and me.”
“What happens if I don’t find a soulmate?” It was evident that the idea didn’t sit well with her and Tae was quick to reassure her.
“Then that means you’re brave enough and strong enough to face this world on your own. Just because someone doesn’t have a soulmate doesn’t mean they aren’t special.”
“That’s right,” you said, perching on the edge of the bed next to your daughter.
“How do you know when you’ve found your soulmate?”
You looked up and smiled at your husband, the same butterflies erupting in your stomach that had the first time you realized you loved him. “You’ll know.”
With a sudden burst of giggles, you daughter leapt off the bed and spun around to face you both. “Someday, I want to find a soulmate just like Daddy!”
You laughed, scooping the little girl up into your arms. “I think that’s a wonderful idea, but for now, you need to go to sleep.”
“Otherwise Uncle Kookie won’t come play with you.” Tae chimed in, leaning over to plant a kiss on her nose.
With an excited squeal, she wriggled out of your hold and raced to her bedroom across the hall where you heard her clamber up onto her own bed. You chuckled at her antics. 
“I really am the luckiest man alive.”
You turned to find Tae staring after your daughter with a fond smile.
“She’s a lot like her father,” you quipped, “such a flair for the dramatics.”
Tae laughed while leaning toward you. “But she’s got her mother’s beauty.”
You rolled your eyes, but you felt your cheeks heat up, nonetheless.
His boxy smile slowly faded into something a bit softer as he planted a soft kiss on your lips. “I love you, my soulmate.”
You smiled into the kiss, your eyes remaining closed for a moment even after he pulled away. You heard him get up and follow your daughter into the other room before you finally opened them again. Tae was right, not everyone was lucky enough to find their soulmates. You were just happy you’d been lucky enough to find yours.

ROOTS / task 01
@phqextras
‘CAUSE YOU’RE THE ONE I’VE GOT / YOU’RE THE ONE I GOT
there’s one photo album of the bakers. it’s slim, a brown so warm it’s nearly orange, that soft fake leather that stands the test of time. there’s not a ton of photos left, but when maggie’s feeling particularly nostalgic -- once in a blue moon -- she’ll pull it out, run her hands over all the faces that left her behind.
first page is her parents. two photos. both black and white. first one’s of them after tying the knot. karissa’s wedding dress is as she was: prim, traditional, an air of class. jonathan’s suit doesn’t reach his wrists, but the joy on his face distracts from the ill fit of the suit. karissa is smiling straight at the camera. jonathan is staring at his wife, arm around her shoulder, cradling her as gentle as the sun kissing the horizon. they’re happy. at least in this moment. maggie knows the truth behind it: the courthouse was a split second decision. her mom had wanted a storybook wedding: ceremony in a nice church, their families intermingling at the reception, tin cans rattling down the road as everyone waved them off. but karissa’s family was traditional, and jonathan’s family was racist. they’d rarely talked about either of their extended families. we’ve got all that we need right here, jonathan would say, pulling his wife in for a kiss, much to the chagrin of his children. 
second photo’s jonathan and karissa standing in front of the house they rented in pleasance. jonathan’s got karissa cradled in his arms. you can’t see either of their faces really well -- they’re turned towards each other. the shadows are blurry. you can hardly tell where one of them begins and the other one ends. they’d driven hours through the night and stopped in pleasance. it was meant to only be an overnight stay, but karissa was so charmed by the small town that they decided to plant roots. jonathan got a job teaching english at the middle school and karissa kept the house neat and tidy. i always told your mom she’d get to keep her hands as pretty as the day i met her. he didn’t get to keep that promise. whenever maggie started to falter, started to believe the things people said about her father, she’d come back to this photo. there was no way the man who held his wife like she was the world would ever leave her without warning. there was no way.
SO I’LL KEEP TURNING DOWN THE HANDS / THAT BECKON ME TO COME
next page’s photos of jonathan and karissa and their little sun. maggie doesn’t dwell on these pages often. the years before she was born were blessed. jonathan and karissa had settled into the town. karissa knew all the grocers by name. jonathan was watching his first class graduate high school. they decided it was time to expand the family tree. maggie’s sibling was born at high noon during a hot summer. for awhile, the three of them are happy. and then karissa misses another period.
next page is a picture of the four of them at the hospital. maggie’s barely bigger than a bean in her momma’s arms, and karissa looks exhausted as all hell, but jonathan is beaming. their firstborn is snuggled up against karissa, face away from the camera, staring at maggie. she’d been born on the darkest night in october, just a few weeks before halloween, earning the nickname our moon from her father. maggie wasn’t an easy baby. not a point of pride for her, but she’d kept karissa busy, wailing like she’d seen a ghost anytime she was left alone. once she was old enough to walk, she’d toddle after her older sibling, fingers always grasping at the air just behind them. she’s never really shaken that habit -- reaching out for something she swears is there, only for her hands to move through smoke. 
THOUGH I’M A GEYSER / FEEL IT BUBBLING FROM BELOW
next page has a photo of maggie and her older sibling. in the background, karissa’s on the phone, turned away from the camera. maggie’s mid-sentence, her young face round with bereavement, and her sibling is staring directly at the lens. sometimes, maggie swears it’s like they’re trying to communicate something to her. maybe an apology. an explanation. maybe a goodbye. maggie knows exactly when this photo was taken. twenty-four hours after running into the man in the khaki suit. his voice sounded foreign to her, funny almost. he’d asked jonathan for help. maggie, cold and hungry, had tugged on her father’s hand. impatient from the start. jonathan had just smiled. sorry, sir, can’t help you. gotta get my little moon home. he’d always been that way: chipper, cheerful, patient to the end. next day, he never made it home from work. no one had seen him leave, but his car wasn’t in the school parking lot, and he never came home. maggie knew it was her fault. she’d pulled him away from gideon’s friend. she’d cursed him. her sibling had told her to keep that to herself. her mother didn’t say much. all three of them, left behind to swim in the starless sea of grief alone. 
karissa had to get a job at alby’s, selling perfume to no one, and the two were latchkey kids. them against the world. maggie would follow her sibling around, silent as winter, and it was there that she started to learn about the whole world that existed within pleasance. maggie could never be sure if her sibling’s moments of cruelty were purposeful -- some sort of retribution for maggie’s part in their father’s disappearance. they’d dare maggie to touch all five sycamores and wouldn’t turn around til she’d done so, no matter how much she cried. they’d send her into lourdes’s lawn and run for the hills when the woman came out to chase maggie out of her lawn. still, maggie accepted her punishments. if she was a curse on the family, she’d make friends with all the curses in town. 
HEAR IT CALL HEAR IT CALL HEAR IT CALL TO ME / CONSTANTLY
the next photo is of her sibling, triumphantly tossing their graduation cap in the air. they’d pushed and fought their way through school. if maggie was busy looking for proof that the stories were real, her sibling was busy proving that the world didn’t know what it was talking about. they were well-liked. charming. not afraid to throw a punch if a punch was necessary. they were as quick to shoot down maggie’s beliefs as they were to squash any rumor about their father running away. it’s not good for us to believe in those things, they’d say, dragging maggie away from jenny again. shit like that makes everyone in this town feel self-important, like they’re in on something. they’re not in on anything, magpie, except a load of shit.
next photo’s of maggie’s graduation. she’s got her arm around her mom, smiling shyly, while karissa beams. she’d made her mom proud. everything she did, she did for her mom. part of it felt like contrition -- if she could be a golden girl she could lift a burden off her mom’s shoulders. still, straight a’s and a spotless track record couldn’t relieve karissa of her great loss. occasionally, she’d catch her mom moving in the kitchen, talking with a man who was no longer there. sometimes they’d dance, her mom slowly swaying alone, to a symphony only playing for her. 
two days after this photo was taken, her sibling had burst into her room. they’d fought. maggie doesn’t remember it well. fierce words were exchanged -- her sibling was leaving, no warning, and asked maggie to come with them. maggie refused. all she could think of was her mother, spinning forever alone in a house that held only ghosts. we can’t go, she’d said, furious tears burning her eyes. we can’t stay, they’d replied, we’ll never get out. 
AND HEAR THE HARMONY ONLY WHEN IT’S HARMING ME 
the next photo is the two of them in all black, standing in front of the coffin, backs to the camera. the flowers on either side were all handpicked by maggie. it’d been five years since they’d whispered in maggie’s room. the funeral was tense. private. small. with her mother gone, maggie had no real reason to stay in pleasance -- but pride had overcome her. everyone left. everyone dreamed of leaving. not her. she wouldn’t. the baker siblings hadn’t said goodbye the first night. they didn’t say goodbye this time, either.
the rest of the pages of the photo album are blank. translucent expectations. held breaths. a hello never to come. 
IT’S NOT REAL / IT’S NOT REAL / IT’S NOT REAL ENOUGH

The Principal’s Office Part Three ~ Grayson Dolan
Overview: (Y/F/N) (Y/L/N) was the new 5th grade history teacher at The Dolan’s Private academy in New Jersey. She moved from across the country to teach at the school. On the first day, an unexpected visitor stops by her classroom to check in on her. What happened when they fall head over heels for each other? Check out to see.
Warnings: Angst, slight mentions of alcoholism
Tumblr media
(Y/N) thought long and hard with her decision and finally responded:
Hey Grayson, of course I’d love to attend dinner with you this Saturday. I’d love to know more about you as well.
She laid in her bed waiting for his response like a high school girl who had just texted her crush that was on the football team. Her phone buzzed: One new message from Grayson Dolan.
Wonderful! I’ll pick you up around 7 Saturday night. I can’t wait, Goodnight (Y/N) see you tomorrow at work :).
(Y/N) plugged her phone in and placed it on the floor beside her bed, which reminded her that she desperately needed to go furniture and grocery shopping. She laid in her bed with her thoughts running rapidly through her head; Was this ethical? What would her mother think? What would her fellow employees think? She didn’t know what would happen but she shut off her thoughts when she finally managed to drift to sleep.
The rest of the week seemed to go by in a blur and now it was Friday afternoon and the school day had just ended. Her first week as a teacher had been beyond her expectations and she was in love with her new job and her students seemed to love her. She was packing everything that she needed to take home for the weekend which was a lot. She had the children take a quiz to see what they already knew and she had planned to take them home to grade them. So on top of her purse, she carried her suitcase that had her papers in. She shut her class door and locked it and when she turned around she care in contact with a sturdy chest.
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t see you there.” She apologized to Grayson who she had just accidentally ran into.
“It’s fine. Here let me help you to your car. It’s late and dark outside and I don’t trust some of the people that walk around here.” He said and took her suitcase from her hands and carried it out with her following behind him. He walked her to her car and she opened her trunk from her key fob. She didn’t realize how late it was until she checked her watch. It was 6:30 and school got out 2 hours ago. The sun had set and the parking lot was extremely dark and it seemed that Grayson and her self were the last two people there.
“Thank you so much for walking me out to my car and helping with my suitcase. Have a great night Grayson. I’ll see you tomorrow.” (Y/N) said with a smile as she got in her car. She waved at Grayson as she passed his truck in the parking lot. She got home and took a shower. She then sat up her computer on her island and began furniture shopping online. She purchased a leather “L” shaped couch, a recliner, a TV stand with a cabinet attached, she bought a dining room table with chairs, she also bought a TV stand for her room and some dressers and night stands. She knew the money wasn’t a problem, her father had left a shit ton of money in her name and that was the only god thing he ever did in her life. The man who was her father had left her mother shortly after (Y/N) was born entering periodically throughout (Y/N) life. He was an extreme alcoholic who beat his wife and disregarded his children. The bastard died last year after being shot by some man that her dad pissed off. Her father had left her brother, her sister, and her almost 5 million dollars,a piece, what he called an apology for his past mistakes. Nothing would ever make up for the trouble her father put her family through.
After (Y/N) ordered her furniture, she ordered a pizza to be delivered to her house for dinner. She also did a load of laundry and cleaned up her floors a little bit. The pizza man delivered the pizza and (Y/N) are it before taking a relaxing shower. She shaved her legs and washed her hair and body before getting out. She braided her hair, through on a silk teddy night gown and applied lotion to her legs. She plugged her phone in and laid down. She sat up her laptop and watched Dirty Dancing before falling asleep. She couldn’t wait until her TV stand came in and she could watch the actual TV.
(Y/N) woke up around 9:00 the next morning. It felt relaxing not having to get up at 5:30 to get ready for work. She got up and slid on a pair of sweatpants and a loose fitting t-shirt. She slide on a pair of white converses and grabbed her purse. She decided she was going to head to the store to finally get her some groceries so that her breakfast, lunch, and dinner wouldn’t have to come from a fast food restaurant. She got in her car and drove to the nearest market. She grabbed a variety of foods from vegetables, fruits, meats, breakfast foods, some ice creams, personal items such as tampons, pads, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, hair sprays, she also bought a new plant that was on clearance. It was a little cactus that reminded her of home. Once she paid and put the groceries in the car she headed to the Hearst Dunkin Donuts and got herself an iced coffee and a bag of sprinkled donut holes. She then headed home and unloaded her groceries, putting them in the correct place. By the time she was done putting away all of her groceries, it was only 12:00. She decided to take a quick hour nap, watch a few quick episodes of her favorite show and by the time she watched the last episode it was 5:00, so she decided to start getting ready for her dinner date. She plugged her phone in to charge and hooked up her phone to her Bluetooth speaker to listen to music as she got ready. She unbraided her hair and she styled it into a cute curly ponytail and hair sprayed it done. She did a little makeup not too much because she didn’t want to look fake on her date. The makeup she did wear was a very sheer foundation, she filled in her brows, highlighted her face, did a simple nude eyeshadow look, winged liner, mascara, and a pretty nude pink lip shade. She then searched her closet looking for the perfect outfit. She settled for a black off the shoulder top and a pair of dark jeans with a pair of black heel. She but on some simple jewelry and by the time she was done it was 6:45.
Tumblr media
She had 15 minutes left before Grayson said he was going to be here so she made sure she had her purse and phone. It was 6:55 when her door bell rang and she answered the door. Grayson stood there with a bouquet of a mixture of sunflowers and roses. They were her favorites. He was wearing a white button up with some dark jeans and a leather jacket.
“I brought you some flowers. I saw them in some of you pictures and assumed they were your favorites. I hope you like them.” He said and handed them to you.
“I absolutely love them. They remind me of home. Thank you so much. Let me put them in a vase real quick. Come on in. Sorry it’s still empty. I just bought some new furniture.” (Y/N) said and walked into her kitchen to grab a vase. She placed the flowers in the vase and added some water in the vase and placed them in the middle of the kitchen island.
“They look absolutely beautiful. Thank you again.” She said as she grabbed her purse.
“You’re welcome. Let’s head there do we can get our reservations.” He said and took her hand. She locked the door of her house before walking with Grayson to his car. His car was beautiful actually. It wasn’t the normal truck he drove around. It was a baby blue Porche. Grayson held her hand all the way to the car and he opened the door for her and waited for to get in and shut her door. He got in on the drivers side and buckled in and started the car. (Y/N) buckled in and placed her purse in the floor board and crossed her legs. In the background faintly played some Kid Cudi music.
“You’re a fan of Cudi too?” She asked as she looked out the window.
“Yeah, I’ve liked his music since I was a teen. I didn’t expect you to like Cudi.” He said with a smile. Damn his dream girl really was real.
“He’s one of the few artists of today’s music that I’ll listen too. Other than that it’s all 80’s music for me.” She said with a laugh and smile. She could picture hours worth of conversations between the two. She didn’t even realize that they had pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant. Grayson parked the car and ran around to open the door for her. She got out and grabbed her purse. Grayson linked hands with her and walked into the restaurant.
“Welcome to Juliane’s, how can I help you.” The waitress asked as the two of them came in.
“Reservations for Dolan please.” Grayson said and the lady nodded and grabbed two menus and silverware and led us to the back where there was a nicely set up booth. (Y/N) sat on one side and Grayson sat on the other.
“May I get you two anything to drink?” She asked.
“Do you drink wine? If so what kind?” Grayson asked (Y/N) quickly.
“A little bit and red wine.” She said.
“Two glasses of your finest red wine please?” He asked and the lady nodded and went to get the drinks. (Y/N) looked through the menu and found what she wanted.
“So tell me more about yourself (Y/N). You have my undivided attention.” He said and sipped on his wine.
“Well I was born and raised in a small town in Oklahoma. I have an older sister named Jaclyn and an older brother named Trenton. I’m the baby of my family, when growing up it was just my mom, my sibling and I. As a child, I was always fascinated by history and had my mom make road trips through historical towns so that I could read and learn. I went to college at Oklahoma University on a full scholarship ride. I have two tattoos: one on my back and that’s a sunflower and I have a butterfly on my ribs. My favorite color is yellow and I have a fascination with everything 70’s,80’s, and 90’s. That’s about the general outline on myself. What about you Grayson?” She said with a smile.
“Well I was born and raised here in New Jersey. I have a twin brother named Ethan and an older sister named Cameron. My father and my mother raised us and my father passed away a few years ago to cancer and left my brother and I in charge of the schools. My brother took the high school and I took up the other. My sister has an art degree and sometimes comes and teaches at the school but she has her own studio downtown. My mother is a hair stylist. I’m allergic to almost every single animal except birds, fish, and some reptiles. I have too many tattoos to count and my favorite color is green. If you don’t mind me asking, where is your dad?” He said.
“I’m sorry about your dad. My dad was murdered last year but I didn’t know him very well. He wasn’t really in my life and when he was it was good.” She said. The lady came and took their orders and they continued looking.
“Are you in any relationship?” He asked curiously.
“Nope and never have been. It’s always been education with me.” She said and sipped on her wine.
“I haven’t been in one for a while. I told myself that I was going to wait till I found the perfect one for me.” He said. What she didn’t know was the Grayson thought that was her. The waitress brought there food back and they made small talk while eating. When it came time for them to get ready to leave (Y/N) began pulling out her wallet to pay. Before she could even get her card Grayson had already given the lady his card.
“Don’t worry about it (Y/n). It’s my treat.” He said with his breathtaking smile.
“Thank you so much tonight. I’ve really enjoyed this.” She said with a smile as the lady brought back Grayson’s card. (Y/N) and Grayson grabbed their things and got up and left. As they were sitting in the car Grayson asked, “Do you mind if I take you somewhere? It’s a surprise so you have to trust me.”
“I trust you Grayson. I have nothing else to do tonight, I’m all yours.” She said with a smile. Twenty minutes later they pulled into an empty parking lot near the beach. There was a long boardwalk with a gorgeous lighthouse at the end of the boardwalk. He opened the door for her and took her hand. By now the sun had set and the wind started picking up and she shivered. Grayson slipped off his jacket and placed it on her arms.
“Thank you.” She said and he took her hand and began waking down the boardwalk. The waves crashed against the shore and it sounded beautiful. The lights along the boardwalk were gorgeous. They walked to the end of the boardwalk and she leaned against the rail staring out into the ocean.
“It’s beautiful here.” She said with a smile.
“You’re even more beautiful.” Grayson said with a smile and turned her around to face him. His hands were rested gently on her waist and he leaned down and gently kissed her. Her heart and stomach exploded in butterflies. He pulled back and spoke, “I’m so sorry. I don’t know what came over m-“ before he could finish his sentence she kissed him to shut him up.
“Don’t apologize Grayson. I enjoyed it. I enjoy you. You make me feel like I’m a new person.” She said with a smile and placed her hand on his chest.
“Good because I’m not letting you go. You’re my one I just know it.” He said with a smile and leaned down to kiss her again.
Grayson walked her back to his car and decided to take her home since it was now almost 10:00. He walked her up to her front door.
“I’ll see you when your furniture comes in so that I can help. I’ll also bring my brother so you can meet him and he can help. I enjoyed tonight (Y/N). I can’t wait till our next date out.” He said with a smile and leaned down and pecked her lips.
“Thank you for tonight Grayson. I enjoyed it too. I’ll text you tomorrow when the items get shipped in. Text me when you get home please so that I know you made it home safe please.” She said as he pulled away. She took off his jacket and handed it back so that he wasn’t cold. She pecked his lips one last time and shut the door. As soon as the door shut and he was in his car, she freaked out. Her boss was in love with her and she was in love with him. He KISSED her. She was so whipped over him it wasn’t funny. She hopes this doesn’t affect her job and that she isn’t going to be judged even though there are going to be those people she didn’t care at the moment. She walked to her bathroom and wiped her makeup off and washed her face as well as brushed her teeth. She changed into her pajamas and brushed out her hair. She laid down in bed and waited for Grayson to text her that he was home safe and then as soon as he texted her that she fell asleep reliving her night over and over in her head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alternate Siren AU Trivia
Tumblr media
Here are some things about siren!Griffin (who isn’t named Griffin but convenience wins over consistency this time) and Faragonda in my AU of the siren AU in which Faragonda finds the siren before Valtor does and after she frees her, they get together.
- After Faragonda moves on the island, she doesn’t work and their revenue comes from the coins Griffin finds in sunken ships. Faragonda uses them to buy supplies for the house and food as well as some present for Griffin in the form of a flower that they plant in the garden outside their house or a book that Griffin can read (she taught her to read and even write, though that can be a bit more complicated considering Griffin is still a siren) or have Faragonda read it to her. She just loves to be lazy romantic like that.
- They spend most of their time together either inside the house, out in the garden or on the beach. Sometimes Faragonda will use her Sirenix to join Griffin on her underwater hunts for money and other treasures. They have competed against each other about who can find a better present for the other in a sunken ship. It was adorable and they were both absolutely touched and flattered at the efforts the other was putting in it. That was the real gift both of them got from it but Faragonda won the actual competition. She managed to find something Griffin had never seen before - fake nails. Griffin really liked them because they were colorful and beautiful and were a much better option than nail polish on her actual nails as the sea water made that chip away in record speed. The fake nails held much longer, however, especially when applied with magical glue.
- Griffin loves it when Faragonda combs or brushes her hair. It does not get wet from water but it can still tangle and Faragonda is so gentle when she takes care of those problems. It almost makes the siren purr. Not to mention how thrilled she is when Faragonda braids her hair and puts flowers in it. They mostly use flowers from the garden since Griffin can’t grow so many so fast on her tail. However, she did create a new species of flowers just for Faragonda. It has transparent petals that look just like Faragonda’s fairy wings aka like stained glass in soft blue and dark blue anthers. It is shaped a bit as a lily but has more petals and appears flatter rather than cup-like. It makes it more suitable to put in Faragonda’s braid. Faragonda loves it, especially when Griffin named it “Love of the Ocean”.
- Griffin is a bit of a picky eater. She’ll eat most fruits and vegetables but she can’t really eat meat. The closest that comes to that is oysters as she was used to eating them before she was trapped in the cave. She can’t imagine eating anything more mobile than that, especially when she’s swum with most of the ocean creatures and she’s created living beings herself. Eating them does not feel right. She likes mushrooms, though, and will eat dairy products and eggs. She loves sweets which sees Faragonda buying them by the ton. The only trouble is that ice cream tends to melt fast and she needs to teleport back to the island if she wants it to still look like ice cream and not like a colored puddle by the time she gets home. She doesn’t complain, though, when it makes Griffin happy since ice cream is one of her favorite things.
- Griffin is always leaving wet prints on Faragonda’s clothes when she “just” pulls her in for a kiss and ends up pulling her all the way into the pool that serves as her “bed”. Faragonda gets soaking wet on so many occasions that she is pretty sure getting dry is the sole focus of her magic nowadays and where most of her energy goes. Griffin sometimes waves her tail and splashes half the water in her pool outside and over the room and Faragonda. It gets a little old at times, especially when it’s obvious she is doing it on purpose although Faragonda asked her not to. She has nothing against cuddling with Griffin in her pool but when she’s taken her clothes off and she knows the water won’t be freezing cold. She’s not sure how Griffin stands it sometimes when it is so cold. Griffin is a siren, however, and does what she wants, which Faragonda has accepted at this point. It is still the source of a lot of their arguments, though.
- Griffin was thrilled at the entertainment of all sorts of different games being presented to her. She quickly wrote off some of them such as chess and all types of card games that required too much strategy since they weren’t fast paced and, therefore, bored her. (To be fair, the ease with which she casts things aside simply because they’re not interesting and exciting anymore to her scared Faragonda a bit at the beginning as she was afraid Griffin would just leave one day and no part of their romance would mean anything to her but those concerns were put to rest with time when Griffin was obviously just as in love with her as she’d been at the start.) She did like games that relied more on luck and “Truth or Dare” was rather thrilling to her when it presented quite a challenge with the way they both had to think like the other in order to come up with anything both doable/answerable and spicy. It required some effort but it was also very fun.
- Griffin and Faragonda have a slight problem with jealousy. Both of them. Faragonda is just glad that Griffin is looking to avoid people for safety reasons since it means no one gets to look at the naked upper part of her body. Faragonda is a bit possessive over her and while she would never try to make her cover up when she knows it is not in the nature of a siren, she knows she would just lose it if Griffin was to be ogled by someone else. Just the thought of all those people that had kissed her makes her angry even if they are all dead. Griffin has a much similar issue even though hers is stemming mostly from the stories she got from Faragonda about her first kiss, first time, first relationship and some other details that came out during those Truth or Dare games. She was definitely not calm at the thought of anyone else getting to know Faragonda the way she did. And she was even less so that time Hagen visited the island since he wanted to check up on Faragonda after she didn’t take the Alfea job. She was almost ready to use her song to drown him when she caught on to the fact that he liked Faragonda and it was just Faragonda’s interference that saved him. They both feel insecure considering all the hardships their interspecies relationship presents to them but they both try to reassure and show the other that they are there no matter what. It has made that issue better but it still shows up even despite their efforts to tame it.

I rested all day and eventually felt less sick and I overall feel better in general physically so maybe I was just that overloaded >< later on I went out with bogleech to look for a park so he could collect some wood but one of them was closing due to limited hours and then we couldn't find the other one but just driving along we found this REALLY cool area that was like... kind of eerie at first like it was??? An area of woods where a lot of the trees were chopped down leaving rotting stumps and wood everywhere and like very spaced out tall skinny trees and it was eerily quiet like... almost dead silent you could barely hear birds or anything at all but upon exploring it it quickly ended up being one of my favorite places I've seen so far... there was some little spots where trash and stuff was left behind like beer cans around the charred reminds of a fire but not completely trashed, no matter how far I walked the scenery was visually so unique looking,and there where a lot of big stumps and logs to climb on, it felt like exploring the woodsy version of an abandoned house it lit up the teenager part of my heart looking for a weird dumpy place to escape to...like..... I could easily see that spot as somewhere I could go to to get some of my pent up anger out and and stuff like instead of flinging shit around in my room accidentally hurting myself and the trouble was i never wanted to go to an area and throw stuff or hit things that would feel like I was destroying like.. even nice alive trees and ruining the gentleness of a place but this place was just like.... dead stuff everywhere but in such a comforting way and in the clearing lots of green plants with purple flowers I dont know like not to be fake deep but theres something about it that connects with me and makes me feel safe and I dont feel bad about making a mess??? Anyway so I took a lot of photos which I'll share and I think I feel it's time to start stocking up on disposable cameras like I said I wanted to and this is a place I want physical pictures of.. somewhere I'd take people and take pictures of but I digress I also climbed some overturned trees and dug into them with my bare hands and I was wearing like shorts and stuff so I got so dirty but I didn't care I was just like Feral mode cause originally the whole point was to collect nice pieces of wood for bog and I'm nimble enough to climb around stuff so I got a bunch of nice pieces AND!! I also found some big millipedes in the wood!!! Which he took home with us! So it was like SO NICE like it was cathartic to rip stuff up and I ultimately like presented my friend with gifts i the process like this is exactly what I'm looking for.....getting out these violent urges but not harming anything and ideally something nice coming from it like it would be so nice to just do that everytime like tear up some soggy wood and be like, heres a bucket of stuff you might like! Bog wants me to feel better too he suggested like getting a little axe or something I was like OMG YES..... that's perfect like again i dont have to fuck up a living tree theres TONS AND TONS of already chopped down and discarded logs no one will miss like!!!!
We had to leave cause the mosquitos came out and like attacked me but;; I wanna come see what it looks like at night another time ,I'll bring some bug spray and cover up a bit more. I feel like super happy like what a serendipitous accident just stumbling upon a cool area.....
