Summer Paradise with Yuu (Chapter 2)

All your kisses taste like Malibu

When you agreed to join your friends on a spontaneous summer vacation, you didn't expect to a) get pulled out of the ocean by some random guy who thinks you are drowning and b) that this guy is hotter than the summer sun.

Pairing: Yuuji x Reader (female) Genre: fluff, smut, Lifeguard AU but not really lol Word Count: 3.5k Warnings: 18+, smut in later chapters, falling into the ocean, kissing. All characters are of age. This story is 18+. Minors don't interact.

This will be a short summer series because Yuuji is my sexy summer boy, and I am obsessed with the idea of summer vacation with him! I'm trying to keep the chapters short!

Chapter 1: I swear you put the sun up in my sky, so hot it's like the middle of July Chapter 2: All your kisses taste like Malibu Chapter 3: Touch me like a summer night, you feel like a holiday Chapter 4: Back to Summer Paradise with you

Chapter 02

You run into "hot Baywatch guy" again only a day later.

After spending the afternoon at the beach, you're on your way back to your hotel when you spot pastel pink hair in front of one of the small shops lining the beach promenade. You silently chide yourself for the way your heart jumps at the sight. The rescue was the most embarrassing thing you ever experienced, and it would probably be better to never see him again and just try to forget the whole incident.

But then your personal lifeguard turns his head, and his pretty eyes meet yours over the rim of a pair of heart-shaped sunglasses. They widen in recognition, and his mouth opens in an "Oh!" before it gets replaced by his bright sunshine smile. Suddenly you have forgotten why you don't want to see him again.

He looks stunning with that pretty smile on his tan face. His toned biceps flex enticingly as he quickly puts the sunglasses back onto the display rack. And then his hand is already in the air to wave excitedly at you, exuding so much energy and good vibes that you automatically make a step towards him.

You can't help but smile and lift a hand to wave back at him. This is the guy who saw you in your most pathetic moment and managed to make it even worse. But maybe that is why you grin at him like an idiot. After all, you can't really make a bigger fool of yourself in front of him than you already did, right?

Now your friends have noticed him too, and they both grab your arms. They wouldn't shut up about the hot Baywatch guy all morning while you were lying at the beach. Now their eyes sparkle dangerously.

"Ooooh, that's him! We have to go over to say hello!"

"He really looks cute! Damn, and he really gave you mouth to mouth? Wow!"

You don't even have a chance. Before you can open your mouth, your friends are already dragging you towards Itadori.

His smile grows even wider when you stop in front of him.

"Heyy! How are you today? I was hoping to see you again!"

His words shouldn't give you that fluttery feeling in your stomach, but you can't help it.

Oh my god.

Suddenly you remember that you once read that many people develop crushes on the people who saved them, like lifeguards, firefighters, doctors, etc.

Your rational side screams at you: "But he didn't really save you! You were in no danger! He isn't even a real lifeguard!"

Your body doesn't agree with that, though. Hot Baywatch guy laughs softly and runs a hand through his pink hair, and the butterflies in your tummy have a whole summer festival, fluttering and dancing like crazy.

You didn't have time to look at him all that much yesterday, but your "savior" is really hella attractive! He becomes even hotter the more you look at him.

Of course, there's the pink hair that catches the eye immediately. Now that it's not wet and plastered to his forehead, it has a pretty pastel pink shade that reminds you of cotton candy. It looks really soft, and somehow your fingers itch with a sudden urge to touch it.

But it's not just the hair. Itadori also has really pretty eyes. They are light brown, like liquid honey. Warm and sparkling with excitement. And that dazzling smile is making him look even prettier.

And his body...damn! Itadori could definitely star in some trashy 90's show about sexy lifeguards at some beautiful beach!

An image from yesterday flashes in front of your eyes, when he was kneeling in the sand beside you. Water droplets running down those buff pecs and defined abs...

They are hidden under a yellow shirt right now, but you can still see his muscular shape even through his clothes. And his buff biceps and equally toned calves are still on display.

He is tall, strong and very athletic. No wonder he could pull you out of the water so easily.

You feel too hot all of a sudden as all the fresh memories of the embarrassing rescue mission wash over you again. The way he was carrying you in his strong arms! The way he was leaning over you with his buff body, pressing his lips onto yours.

You have to swallow hard before you are able to answer him:

"I am great, thank you. W...What about you?"

Before Itadori can answer, your friends tighten their grip on your arms and both chime in at the same time:

"She is very grateful that you wanted to rescue her! You are, aren't you (y/n)?"

"You are so brave for jumping into the water like that and pulling her out! Even though it wasn't a real danger. Actually, (y/n) wanted to thank you, right?"

Your brave savior blinks and then reaches behind himself to scratch his neck and smile sheepishly at the three of you.

"Um yeah, about that...sorry again! I really thought you were in trouble. Sorry for causing such a scene!"

His honey eyes meet yours, looking at you with a light blush on his tan cheeks. He looks so cute!

But you are pulled out of your swooning when your friends elbow you a bit too hard. And you shake yourself out of it and quickly reassure your hero:

"No, please don't apologize! It was really nice of you!"

Another elbow hits your side, and you yelp lightly before adding:

"And yes! I would like to thank you. Can...um, can I invite you to an ice cream maybe? To say thank you?"

Apparently, you said the right thing because your friends both clap your shoulder. And Itadori's handsome face lights up with another one of his bright sunshine smiles.

"Aww, that's so sweet of you! Yes, I'd love to have ice cream with you! I'm Yuuji, by the way!"

Ten minutes later, your little group is gathered around a table in a cute pastel-colored ice cream parlor a few meters down the promenade.

And you lift your ice cream cone in some kind of awkward toast and say with a solemn voice:

"To my brave savior! Thank you, Yuuji."

Yuuji throws his head back in laughter. His laugh is so loud and genuine that it's contagious, and you join in, feeling relief wash over you because suddenly the whole rescue mission incident doesn't seem so bad anymore.

How could it be bad if it led to this cute boy eating ice cream with you and smiling that sunshine smile at you?

Your gaze stays glued to Yuuji, unable to look anywhere else but his handsome face and pretty pink hair. As pink as the strawberry ice cream, he is eating.

His golden gaze meets yours, and he smiles that broad smile at you.

"How long are you gonna stay here?"

"Two weeks, and you?"

His smile turns even bigger at your words, and a little bit of pink ice cream trickles out of the corner of his mouth when he replies excitedly:

"Me too! We can do so many things together!"

But then he blinks and scratches his cheek, looking at you with big eyes and adding in a softer voice:

"I mean, if you want... if you guys already have other things planned or want to stay by yourself, that's totally fine!"

Once again, your friends are quick to intervene,

"Of course, she wants to spend the two weeks with you!"

"We don't have anything important planned! You can steal her away from us anytime you like!"

Usually, you would feel embarrassed by this, but the happy look in Yuuji's eyes lets you forget about it, and instead, you chuckle and add:

"It would really be nice to do things together."

And that's how you get your personal lifeguard's phone number, a kiss on the cheek, and a tight hug when you say goodnight in front of your hotel.

He feels good against you. Tall and strong. And the cologne he's wearing smells very nice. His skin is warm and smooth where you press your lips against his cheek for a quick kiss.

The hug is over too fast. But the memory and feeling linger even hours later when you are standing on the small balcony of your hotel room overlooking the beach as the sun disappears in the soft waves and a light breeze blows over from the water.

You didn't plan any of this. You didn't plan to meet someone here, someone who gives you butterflies after only a few minutes. Someone with a pretty smile and sparkling eyes and the cutest laugh you have ever heard.

Somehow you have a feeling that this will be the best summer ever now that you have found this cute and sexy summer boy with a heart of gold. Itadori Yuuji seems like one in a million, and you are the lucky girl he pulled out of the water! It's better than winning the jackpot!

You are already lying in bed when your phone buzzes with a new message, and you can't stop your heart from jumping when you see who it is from.

You saved his number under Baywatch Yuuji and added a life-ring emoji.

"Wanna go to the beach with me tomorrow?"

"Heyy, yes, that sounds great!"

"Yay! I know a cool place where we can see turtles if we are lucky. You in?"

"I am very in!"

"Can't wait to see you again! Sleep well, cutie!"

He called you cutie?? Oh my god!!

You don't even feel embarrassed when you press your face into your pillow to squeal and giggle and kick your feet into the air while the butterflies go crazy in your tummy.

Yuuji didn't make any false promises. The small cove he takes you to is beautiful! It's just a short distance from the typical tourist attractions, yet it is very peaceful here. The two of you have it all to yourself at the moment.

It looks almost untouched. There are no food stands or sun beds. Only warm white sand and clear turquoise water. The only sound you hear is the gentle rushing of the waves and Yuuji's soft breathing next to you.

He lets his backpack drop to the ground with an excited:

"Ah, it looks even prettier today!"

And then you forget to breathe for a moment because he pulls his shirt over his head, ruffling his pink hair and exposing his firm sunkissed abs and pecs.

You have to be careful not to drool. Yuuji looks so gorgeous! It's hard not to stare at him. But you manage to avert your gaze before he can catch you and quickly turn around to slip out of your sundress and kick off your sandals, leaving you only in your bikini.

When you turn back towards Yuuji, you find his honey gaze wandering up your legs and over your hips. He blinks when he realizes you are looking at him, and his gaze snaps to your face with a slightly guilty expression on his handsome face.

But you just grin at him, feeling so light and bubbly somehow. You like that he was checking you out too.

Yuuji is so attractive. His personality and his looks both give you butterflies. So it's making you giddy to see that he seems to be affected by you too!

On the walk here, his hand had brushed against yours several times, making your skin tingle and your heart race, wishing so much that he would just take your hand in his and hold it.

Anytime he talks to you in his sweet low voice, it makes something deep inside you feel very warm. And anytime his voice becomes louder with excitement, you catch yourself smiling brightly.

He is so sweet and gives off such positive vibes with his genuine excitement and kindness. And there is no denying that he is also very hot!

There is a growing tension between the two of you as you look deeply into each other's eyes.

"So, where are the turtles?"

You ask in an attempt to lighten the tension, and Yuuji's lips lift in another happy grin, and he gestures towards the water.

"They are between those rocks over there."

He extends a large tan hand, smiling that sunshine smile and waiting for you to join him. Your heart skips a beat. You can finally do what you have wanted ever since you left the hotel: Hold hands with your personal lifeguard.

Yuuji's large hand fits perfectly around yours. His strong fingers are holding you gently but securely as he pulls you along into the beautiful turquoise water.

Your way to the turtles leads you over some large flat rocks, which serve as a natural bridge. They are slippery, making it quite challenging to walk on them, but Yuuji is deft at this, and he looks over his shoulder at you to give you an encouraging smile.

The problem is that his smile is so stunning that it momentarily distracts you, and of course, you slip on one of the stones.

A loud squeal leaves your mouth as you lose your footing.

Please not again!

But this time, a strong hand tightens around yours, stopping you from falling into the ocean. Yuuji quickly pulls you to safety into his strong arms and against his buff chest, holding you protectively in his firm embrace.

"Ha! I got you! I won't let you fall into the ocean a second time!"

You tilt your head to look up at him. Your heart is beating so fast, and you can't tell whether it's from the sudden adrenaline surge after slipping on the rock or from being so close to Yuuji.

You wrap your arms around him too, holding on to him, feeling his warm skin and firm muscles under your hands and against your body.

You sigh and snuggle into his embrace. It feels so good to be in his arms. He is so strong and so protective, really acting like your personal hero.

The thought makes you smile, and you catch yourself giggling into Yuuji's defined pecs. He even smells good! The fresh aquatic scent of his cologne and a hint of salt on his tan skin.

"Are you ok, sweetie?"

His voice is full of worry. You smile against his broad chest before lifting your head to grin up at him,

"Yes, I'm fine! Thank you for saving me a second time! I'm so lucky to have you!"

Yuuji laughs loudly, arms tightening around you, gently pulling you against his toned body, and you can feel his muscles flex against your naked skin.

"Yeah, I guess you are lucky to have a personal lifeguard."

Yuuji laughs again and lifts one hand in a mock salute,

"I pledge to always keep you safe, madam! Itadori Yuuji, always at your service!"

His voice cracks up in laughter at the last word, and you join him, laughing loudly and feeling so giddy and carefree. Excitement is pumping through your body and a kind of happiness you haven't felt in a long time.

You're here in a literal summer paradise in this beautiful cove, in the arms of a gorgeous boy who has golden eyes and a sunshine smile, and the strongest arms that ever held you.

Suddenly you feel a bit dizzy. Not only is your heart still beating wildly, but there is also a fluttery feeling in your stomach. The butterflies are going crazy in there. Being so close to Yuuji is making it hard to think.

You are suddenly overly aware of the position the two of you are in. In this tight embrace, bodies pressed against each other, skin on skin where your bikini isn't covering your torso.

You lick your lips while catching yourself staring at Yuuji's mouth. His lips look soft and pink, parted slightly in a pretty smile.

What if...

Before you dare to finish the thought, Yuuji cups your cheek with one of his large hands.

"Hey...um...I know I sucked at the mouth to mouth, but can I kiss you, maybe? I promise I'm a better kisser than a CPR-giver."

You chuckle even as your pulse flutters nervously, already getting slightly on your tiptoes, pressing yourself even tighter against Yuuji. You manage to nod, breathing a soft:

"Yes...please.."

And then Yuuji closes the remaining distance between you, and for the second time, you feel his lips on yours. But this time in a real kiss.

His mouth is soft and warm, moving gently over yours, sending a sweet tingle through your whole body.

Yuuji's strong arms wrap tightly around your waist, pulling you against him, large hands caressing your sides as he lets you lean fully onto him, supporting your weight with ease.

Your hands wrap around his broad neck, fingers playing with the short stubble of his undercut as your mouth opens in a soft sigh against Yuuji's gentle lips. He feels so good against you. Strong and warm.

Your heart is pounding wildly in your chest. You are kissing hot Baywatch guy! You never thought your friends were right when they predicted a summer romance for you! But now Yuuji is here, holding you in his arms and kissing you so sweetly in the middle of the turtle cove, and this really feels like summer paradise!

He licks slowly into your mouth, tenderly deepening the kiss, making a soft sexy sound in the back of his throat when you lick against his tongue.

He is definitely better at kissing than at giving CPR. He is such a good kisser, so sexy and sweet, making your head spin and feel all putty in his arms. You are glad that his strong arms are holding you so safely because your knees feel very weak right now.

Especially when Yuuji's tongue caresses tenderly over yours, slow and loving, making you snuggle against him, opening your mouth further to let him kiss you even deeper.

He tastes like strawberries and sea salt, so sweet and addictive. You think you will need many more of his hot kisses.

You have no idea how long the two of you stand there upon the rocky path, kissing and sighing softly into each other's mouths. You never want to stop kissing Yuuji. You never want to let go of him.

You only pull apart when both of you need some air, gazing at each other with heavy-lidded eyes and kiss-swollen lips that lift in matching dazed but happy smiles.

"Wow...."

"Yeah, wow..."

No other words are needed. Not when you smile at each other like that, and Yuuji hugs you to his body with those strong arms.

He kisses you again when you are back on the sandy beach. And a third time when you say good night in front of your hotel.

In fact, that goodnight kiss turns into several kisses because both of you don't want to let go. Yuuji's hands are sprawled over the small of your back, and yours are tangled in his soft pink hair.

He peppers some more gentle kisses over your cheek before finally pulling away and smiling at you.

"Sleep well, cutie. Text me please when you have arrived safely in your room, ok?"

It makes you giggle happily,

"It's only a short ride with the elevator."

"Yeah, but still! I am your personal lifeguard, remember? So I gotta make sure you are fine. Will you text me, please?"

"Of course, I will. Good night, Yuuji. And thank you for today. It was amazing."

"Aww, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I really did too! See you tomorrow, sweetie!"

You can practically feel Yuuji's gaze on you as you make your way into the hotel and over to the elevator. It makes you smile like an idiot the whole way through the lobby. It's so nice to know he's here watching over you, taking care of you, and protecting you. Your personal hero.

You turn around when you get into the elevator, and your gaze meets Yuuji's across the lobby, seeing him still standing in front of the glass door of the hotel entrance, lifting a hand in a wave.

The last thing you see before the elevator door closes is his dazzling smile, making you feel so warm and fuzzy on the inside. Your heart is throbbing with happiness, and your lips are swollen from Yuuji's kisses.

You are sure you will have amazing dreams tonight! Of summer paradise and your cute and hot sunshine boy and his irresistible kisses!

Thank you so much for reading chapter two of my Yuuji summer series!! This chapter turned out a bit longer than planned, but I really wanted to add the kiss! I hope you enjoy the summer paradise with our cute and sexy summer boy Yuuji :) I am very in love with him aaaaahhh. Please let me know what you think! Comments and reblogs make me happy!

Drunken Secrets-Robin Buckley x Fem Reader

——————

Summary: You and your friends have just defeated Vecna and EVERYONE made it out safe, so Steve threw a party to celebrate. After you and Robin get drunk together, you let more slip than you planned to…

A/N: don’t mind the aggressive “everyone” up there, I just can’t write a fic without it being some sort of fix it fic, so yeah, everyone is alive in this one because we need that.

You had never been one to fixate on impressing people. Normally, you didn’t really care. Except when it came to Robin Buckley.

Robin was the most gorgeous human being you’d ever laid eyes on, not to mention how incredibly funny and clever she was. Ever since you’d starting working with her at Family Video, you couldn’t get her out of your head. Not that you could tell her any of this, though. In a town like Hawkins, that kind of statement would get you ostracized faster than you could say “lesbian.” Besides, you didn’t even know if Robin liked girls, and trying to find out could easily ruin your friendship, which would be the worst possible thing.

So, even though you were sure you’d never tell her how you felt, you spent at least an hour getting ready for Steve’s party. It was summer, so you couldn’t go too overboard without being miserably hot, but you were damn near close to that point. This girl really had driven you mad. All this effort for a crush you couldn’t even act on.

Steve's backyard was already packed with people by the time you arrived. Not "people" like from his parties back in his King Steve era, but "people" as in the group of you that dealt with all of the Upside Down chaos. All the kids were here, as were Steve, Nancy, Jonathan, Eddie, and of course, Robin.

You hesitated in your tracks slightly upon seeing her. Damn it all, she'd worn eyeliner. Only rarely did you see it on her, but you absolutely loved it. Focus, you told yourself as you snapped back to your senses.

After greeting all your friends, you went to grab a beer from the cooler and some chips from the food table. As you stood there, you felt your eyes wander over to Robin. She stood with Steve, both laughing happily. Your eyes lingered a little too long, and you didn't even notice as someone sidled up behind you.

"Jesus, still can't keep your eyes off her, can you?" Eddie chuckled as he popped open his own beer can.

You jumped and whirled to face him, nostrils flaring slightly. "Oh, shut it, Munson. Don't act like you haven't been eyeing Harrington all night."

You and Eddie had formed an odd sort of friendship in the past couple of weeks. You both had sort of bonded over the traumatic events you'd went through. He'd been the only person to figure out your crush on Robin, and you'd picked up on some vibes with him and Steve. Neither of you had officially confessed anything on the matter, but there was a quiet sort of understanding between you two that you both realized you were...different from the others.

"That obvious, huh?" He took a swig and grinned down at you.

You laughed at his cheeky smile. "I mean, 'don't ya, big boy?' was pretty obvious."

"Well, so is the staring, so unless you want the girl to think you're a stalker I would cool it." He shrugged, giving you a sideways glance.

"The Stalker and The Freak, what a pair we make, right?" You downed the last of your beer and grabbed another.

"Hawkins' finest outcasts," He smiled and lazily clinked his beer can with yours.

As the night wore on, the younger crowd began dwindling. Eventually, all the parents had came and retrieved them all, so the older teenagers were left on their own. That's when everything let loose.

It had been a tense few weeks. All the murders and near-death experiences had definitely weighed on everyone's shoulders. That's how you all wound up drunk on Steve's patio.

You had never been more grateful that your friend's parents were never home. Beer cans littered the ground and the six of you were absolutely out of it.

As luck would have it, Jonathan and Nancy had split off to the side, as did Steve and Eddie. That left you to finally talk to Robin.

"Hey," You grinned sheepishly as you flopped down on the ground beside her.

"Hi," She returned your shy smile with a giggle, which was definitely courtesy of the alcohol.

Everything felt a little fuzzy as you sat next to the girl, the two of you kicking your bare feet in the pool. It took you a few minutes to remember that you should make some conversation. That came easier after a half an hour and another beer for each of you. Soon enough, you were engaged in a bubbly, buzzed conversation.

"Work has been soooo crazy, I'm absolutely beat." You groaned and laid your back flat on the concrete, dragging out your words slightly.

"No kidding." She huffed out a sigh and laid down like you had. "Especially... for... you." She poked your arm after each word, which had you chuckling.

"What's that...what's that s'pposed to mean?" You slurred.

"Y'know, the boys. Hundreds of 'em. Begging for your number and to take you on dates." Robin murmured lazily.

"So annoying! Ugh! I hate boys!" You blurted with a sudden anger. You'd had too many beers to sense that you were approaching on dangerous territory with your words. Something was bound to slip out, but you couldn't stop yourself now.

Something in your response caused Robin to dissolve into a fit of giggles. "Me too! Hate 'em!"

"I...I just want them to never talk to me again, y'know? No dates! No thank youuu!" Your voice had drifted off in a raspy singsong.

"Not even the nice ones?" Robin asked, her arm raised in the air as she tried to catch a lightning bug.

Your eyes were trained on her outstretched hand as it waved through the air slowly. "Nope. Doesn't matter if they're nice, silly."

She turned to you, confused. "Why not?"

You were faintly aware of a nagging feeling that you shouldn't tell her something. But why not? You couldn't remember. Everything just felt so warm and she was so pretty, you wanted to tell her everything.

"Because I don't like boys. Duh!" You giggled and booped her nose lightly. "But I don't think you're supposed to know that, so it's a secret."

"I have a secret, too. You want to know mine?" She leaned over and whispered in your ear.

You felt your face go even redder, this time from her proximity and not the mass amounts of booze you'd already consumed. You nodded, eyes wide.

She looked around suspiciously before whispering, "I don't like boys either!"

You both gasped, wearing matching expressions of shock. Quickly that dissolved into more laughed. Everything was just so funny for some reason.

"Want to know something else? I like girlssss..." You slurred between your laughter.

Robin sighed dreamily and smiled at you. "Me too, girls are just, I don't know, just so pretty."

"Girls are so pretty...you're so pretty. Maybe that's what you weren't supposed to know. That's another secret, 'kay? I don't think I was supposed to tell you how pretty I think you are, so don't tell Robin." You couldn't stop the words from flowing out of your mouth.

"I won't. My lips are zipped." Robin mimed pulling a zipper across her mouth and you chuckled. Suddenly, she seemed to have some sort of realization. "Oh! Wait! A secret for a secret. I have to tell you one now. Hmmm...wait, I've got it! My secret is...I think you're pretty too! But you can't tell Y/N either."

"I won't! Pinky swear!" You held out a pinky and the two of you clumsily shook pinkies.

At some point in your conversation, the two of you must've drifted off. The only reason you knew that was because of your eyes creaking opening slightly to daylight.

As you sat up, you were first aware of the killer headache you had. You took in your surroundings and saw a glass of water on the end table beside the couch you were currently seated on. You took a few gulps and glanced around some more. It looked like someone must've carried you into Steve's living room last night. Not shocking, you'd ended up here before on some rare occasions.

What shocked you was the sight of Robin asleep on the loveseat next to the couch. She began to stir as you noticed her, and that's when it hit you. It all came flooding back. You had told her! You had been stupid enough to get drunk and then tell her you liked her!

Quickly, you stood and hurried to grab your things and leave. Maybe she wouldn't remember what happened. I mean, you were surprised that you did after all the beers you'd had. Maybe luck would be on your side for this.

It appeared that it wouldn't be when a voice called out just before you reached the door.

"Y/N!"

You stopped and sucked in a breath before turning to face the girl. Robin's cheeks were slightly flushed as gazed at you. "Yeah?"

"Why are you, um, running off?" She shifted from one foot to another nervously.

Now it was your turn to blush. Great, you were embarrassed and she looked really cute when she was nervous, there was no stopping the heat rising to your cheeks in these circumstances.

"Um, I should just probably head home," You ducked your head to hide your reddened cheeks.

You turned to leave again, but she stopped you once more. "Wait!"

"W-what?"

Now Robin looked just as nervous as you. "I was, uh, thinking that maybe we should, I don't know, talk or something? I mean, only if you want to. We totally don't have to. I'm not even sure if you remember last night or what we, uh, talked about. But I do, and I'm okay with talking if you want to talk. If you want to..."

Your heart about stopped in your chest. She remembered, and she wanted to talk about it. Before you started jumping to conclusions about the kind of talk she wanted to have, you asked the first question on your mind.

"Did you mean what you said? About...girls? About me?"

Robin's cheeks flushed just as hard as yours were. She nodded. "Yeah...did you? Mean it, I mean. Did you mean it too?" She clarified, stammering slightly.

It was your turn to give a nervous nod. "I did, I do."

A moment of silence passed between the two of you. Neither of you were quite sure what to do with this. I mean, it's not like things had ever worked out like this for either of you. People that were gay weren't exactly out and about in Hawkins. So, what were you supposed to do when you actually found someone?

"What do we do now?" Robin blurted the question you had just been debating internally.

You thought for a second, and then decided to muster up your confidence and go for it. "Well, I like you, and you like me, right?" She nodded with a shy grin. "Then I think we go on a date."

Her eyes widened. "A date?"

"Yeah, a date. We could go on like a picnic so people wouldn't see, or to be honest, no one would suspect a date right off the bat. They'd probably just think we're hanging out. We can go wherever you want, Robin, do whatever you want. So, do you want to go on a date with me?" You could feel yourself rambling like an idiot, but you couldn't stop.

"Yeah. Yes! I would, um, I would love to go out." Robin blurted nervously.

"Okay, okay, great." You chuckled nervously. "Um, how about tomorrow? I could pick you up at seven?"

"Yeah, sounds great," She nodded anxiously.

"Great! I'll, uh, see you then. Uh, bye!" You waved to the girl before stepping outside quickly.

You weren't entirely sure what just happened, but somehow you had landed a date. You were a bundle of nerves and excitement, but there was also an overwhelming joy above it all. Robin Buckley liked you back, and that was one of the happiest feelings you'd ever known.

Are there any songs that make you think of Bileven?

Oh lawd! Where do I begin!! 🥲😆 I've got a dozen interconnected playlists by this point, all for my longgg trilogy AU. I'll have to pick my top ten, and that's gonna be tough.

In no particular order...

"Hey little girl, is your daddy home? Did he go away and leave you all alone? I've got a bad desire..."

Tell me this isn't Flayed!Billy's entire vibe when he finds El in Hopper's cabin. A great song to play around with in fic.

That eighties sound. The burning question, "How do I make you fall for me?" which could be interpreted from either Billy or El's perspective.

Also, my fave Bileven vid is set to this song 🥰

"And oh, I think of all the things I'd say, I think about if I had my way, I dream of you on a Saturday..."

It's El having a hopeless crush. The end.

This song is linked so strongly to a scene in my fic that I'll never NOT think of Bileven.

It's the '85 Hawkins High Christmas dance. All the younger teens are old enough to go, including El, and she shows up looking more grown-up and beautiful than ever before. Billy is stunned, confused, and more than a little freaked out. He spends most of the evening avoiding her and getting into glaring matches with Mike.

Finally, "Broken Wings" comes on. El approaches Billy with stars in her eyes and asks him to dance. He tries to turn her down, but she smiles and says in a soft, teasing voice: "Billy, are you going to tell me no?"

It steals his ability to resist—and his breath along with it. Taking his hand, she leads him out onto the floor, where she teaches him to slow dance. The experience softens and terrifies him. As soon as the song ends, he stumbles away to hide, feeling half in love and ready to die.

Billy's oh-shit-I'm-catching-feelings song.

"Ooh I want you baby, ooh you drive me crazy, but I can't get too close... You follow me around, all over town, trying to tempt fate with me..."

As Billy and El's relationship matures, it gets edgier and more intense. This song captures Billy's perspective of that perfectly imo.

Billy in love.

El in love, but make it wistful and sad.

The sound of giving in, accompanied by the memory of fireworks on the Fourth of July.

Another song that's tied so strongly to my fic I can't help but think of them.

By the summer of '86, Billy is so terrified of his connection with El that he can't take it anymore. With no warning, he abandons her and moves back to California. It breaks her heart, and she spends the next three years resenting him.

In '89, he comes back for a visit, only to learn she got a new boyfriend while he was gone... and it's not Mike. Jealous and angry, he tries to win her back, but she shoves him away with all the bitterness she can muster.

The drama culminates in a secret rainy-day rendezvous at Hopper's abandoned cabin. El is alone and heartbroken... Billy shows up unexpectedly... and they end up dancing again like they did at Hawkins High in '85. Except this time, it's to an old record playing "Nights In White Satin."

The dance resurrects emotions they've tried to forget. After keeping her hurt pent up inside for so long, El breaks down crying, and he holds her and lets her cry. It turns into a moment of reconnection and healing three years in the making.

Thanks for this wonderful ask. I really enjoyed answering it 🥰😭

My ultimate like. ‘Verse Where Everything is Kinda Ok’ au lmao is like.

Albert lives like right next door to Finney and somehow ends up being a person that Finney trusts enough to run too when his dad is getting too much to handle. Albert tries soooooo hard to be a good, responsible adult but he ends up falling in love with Finney HARD. Like he knows he shouldn’t and controls himself with an iron grip but sometimes he can’t help but linger in the doorway when he lets Finney sleep on the couch or can’t help the way his eyes find themselves tracing over the boy over and over again

The Ghost Boys are alive in this au and them plus Finney are part of a friend group and the Ghost Boys get bad vibes from Al, Robin specifically tries to talk to Finney abt it but Finney is like ‘no it’s fine he’s always been rlly cool’

But one night Finney is at Al’s and Al just can’t help himself anymore……. His resolve snaps and he finally indulges in his little lover boy 👀

I really love this, actually!!

(I'm just riffing off your au here, don't mind me <3)

It's perfect; Al trying SO HARD to just be a good guy and let Finney trust and confide in him... but he's weak.

He's just too weak to this absolutely perfect boy that was practically placed in his lap. Who could really blame him, though? He's a gentleman and contains himself for as long as he possibly can until one day when he just breaks. All this time holding back, watching from afar. Longing and pining but never getting close. He has to think of Finney's feelings, after all. Al would never be able to forgive himself if he hurt the boy.

Maybe he's guilty about it at first. He knows he shouldn't be feeling this way about his neighbor's son. Hell, Al is old enough to be Finney's dad himself. Despite this, the thoughts never stop. Having Finney constantly over, sleeping on his couch, taking up space in his home-- He's fallen fast and hard and he's driving himself mad trying to figure out what to do about it. If he should do anything about it.

It doesn't help that Finney's friends have definitely caught on to something. Al knows he hasn't done anything to give himself away but somehow all of Finney's little friends still know. Luckily, the boy himself seems to think that his friends are just being overprotective of him and wary about the old man he's always around. Hopefully the Arellano kid in particular will give it a rest soon so Al can finally start sleeping again at night.

None of it matters, though. They're right. Albert Shaw is a nasty old man with a gross crush on little Finney Blake. God damn it.

Just when Al is about to bring the daily visits to an end and let Finney know that they need to stop before something gets out of hand... He finds Finney passed out on his living room couch as he always is. Samson is sleeping at the boy's feet and they both look so happy. Al is conflicted. His dog seems to sense the tension in the air and soon leaves to go sleep on his bed.

That night was when Al finally lost his composure. Finney's shirt is half-ridden up his chest and its summer so he's wearing the skimpiest shorts that Albert has ever seen. The boy is both surprised and oddly satisfied to wake up with his nearly 50-year-old neighbor looming over him with what might be lust in his eyes.

Now Finney really can't talk to his friends about Al anymore.

#Blah blah blah they end up dating in secret and live happily ever after #The End #Everything Is Kinda Ok Verse My Beloved #Ask Response #Thanks for the Ask bestie #Crazed Ramblings #AU Agenda #Favorite Fics #Blakeshaw #Alfinn #Magicspace #I'm sorry I really went on a tangent with this one #I love the idea of Al being guilty and in love with Finney #The Ghost Boy Squad is just protective of their boy alright #Finney definitely knew what was happening after a while but was too scared to be the first one to bring it up #Now they're happily together though so it was worth it in the end #No one has to know that he's fucking his much older neighbor but him

Chapter 36: HELLO_WORLD

It was a bit of a cooler day than the ones recent to memory, even the robot could tell that. It made sense, however. Summer was finally starting to end, and the cooler and more bearable season of fall would be upon them. It was still a little crazy to think the clan had been here for about half a year. Surely the government was resting well on their earth, smug about the fact they got rid of the toppats for good. Oh, Platinum couldn't wait to hear what they had to say when the toppats got back.

Something felt…a little off about today though. He didn't know why. He felt like he was supposed to be remembering something but no one seemed to have any idea what he could be forgetting. What's more, Hat Girl was able to get some of the others to visit the place. There was no reason why, just 'Hey, come over'. It was strange but Platinum didn't want to question it. He finally got to show Adalyn around, and it was fun watching her steal things from the members while invisible.

As the day went on, he briefly saw Snatcher and Cooking Cat at one point. But they didn't seem to notice him and didn't seem like they wanted to be seen by him. Did he upset them somehow?

Maybe they just had to get some sort of work done, who knows? Platinum knew Snatcher had something happen recently in his forest. Didn't know the exact details, just faintly overheard that something happened while Macbeth was talking with Burt. As for Cooking Cat, she could be talking to anyone about anything. He didn't know her too well and hadn't tried much. Part of him was still annoyed about the cruise when she managed to figure out about his crush on Van…

He didn't let those thoughts stop him during the day. Even if the question of why things seemed off kept swimming around his mind like a fish in a bowl. It was afternoon now, getting late. They had headed to Hat Girl's room just to vibe. They pulled out a card game and you think Platinum, being a robot, would have an advantage. No, he was just struggling the whole time. In his defense, the random noise in the background didn't help his focus.

"Ugh, I can't get this phase for the life of me. Couldn't we have just played uno?" Platinum asked as he sat his cards down on the floor, leaning back a bit as Mu rolled her eyes nearby. He gave her a glare. "Don't give me that look. You got your phases in the first three turns easily!"

"She just got lucky, darling." DJ Grooves said as he pulled Dianna closer to him, gently. Apparently the mother was busy that day so the little penguin had to come with him, which no one minded. Apparently Hat Girl had also invited the Conductor's grandkids but they were all going to be busy with stuff today. Why didn't she just invite them for a later date? "Oh, speaking of which. Hat Girl, darling. Do you have a special someone yet? You're about that age."

"Don't rush me Grooves. I'll find her and tell her when I get the chance." Hat Girl said as she led back, before Platinum rose a brow briefly before smiling. "Oh yea, I'm lesbian. Didn't want to tell anyone until I was fully sure. I already told our Dads, would've told you too but you were busy with Van at the time, brother." Hat Girl said, glancing at Platinum with a smile. She gave a chuckle. "What's with that look in your eyes. You promised them you would be there that night."

"Well first, congrats on coming out. And second, our normal way back from that area of the woods was blocked by a fallen tree, so we had to go the long way." Platinum stated, rolling his eyes but giving a slight smile. Hat Girl went to say something else and he held up his hand to cut her off, giving a tiny chuckle. "And before you ask 'Couldn't you just, gotten back on the path after the tree', don't you remember from my first powering on how weird with my choices I can be?"

"Huh, to be honest I forgot you had to be powered on for a 'first time.'" Stated Adalyn from nearby while Hat Girl shrugged to Platinum's question. Platinum looked at the lazy paw gang member as he shrugged and got on Hat Girl's bed, rubbing his sleeves a bit to get some dirt off. To be honest, he kinda forgot at times he had a first 'power on'. "What was it like? Did you go try to break into a vault or something in the first, like, five minutes of you existing?"

"From what I heard of the story, no." Van said for Platinum, rubbing their arm as they took a small step back from the group. Platinum got up and headed over to them, pulling out the chair by his sister's dresser and letting them sit in it. Maybe it didn't help, but Platinum knew Van got shy easily in situations with people they didn't know well. "Thanks Platy.." Van said before sighing. "I, think he freaked out a bit actually."

"Huh, why am I not surprised." Conductor stated nearby, the card game they were playing having been forgotten by this point. Platinum started to head over to a small stack of books currently on his sister's dresser, maybe he could read one while they did something else. Considering how fast he discrated them from the game, it would probably be best to stay out of it. "Well, lad. What did happen. You can't just mention stuff like that and not expect us to be a wee bit curious.”

"Plus, it wasn't like you were aware before turning on the first time, right?" Mu asked. "I'm a little curious with someone just, coming into existence with the intelligence of a teen."

"Why would that be something of… actually now that I think about it, that does seem like a crisis waiting to happen." DJ Grooves said after having to pull Deinna back before she could begin to climb up to one of Hat Girl's relics, him briefly apologizing to the alien as he did so. Platinum glanced at Van who gave a shrug, not really sure on, anything. "How did you handle it? Were you ever used before you were you?"

"He was, but he doesn't really have too many memories of back then, from what he's told me and our Dads." Hat Girl said as Platinum gave a nod. She then glanced over at Platinum, and patted a spot on the bed beside her with one hand while motioning for him to come over with the other. She gave a smile as he just blinked. "Come on, I'm a little curious myself, never heard the full story. I just know Dad was glad he decided to turn you on before we met."

"Yea, I am too looking back. Wouldn't have been a good first impression." Platinum glanced at Van, who was looking up at him in a bit of curiosity. He then sighed. "Well, I guess I have time to explain a bit."

He walked over to his sister and sat down, jokingly pushing her aside, gently of course. As he began to think of how to start, he found himself pausing. Briefly glancing at his sister. It was funny, it was so easy for him to not exist as who he was now. He was also one of dozens, maybe hundreds of topbots. It was so easy for it not to have been him. To never feel the joy of being alive…

It was, scary when he thought about it. Which was more often they others may think.

"Alright, now let's get one thing straight. Like you all, I was curious about the exact details of my creation, so this first part will be what I got from my wonderful creator and father. If it's not exactly what happened." He shrugged. "Sucks for you, because again, I wasn't there."

"Platinum." Mu said with some frustration as the robot chuckled. And after a moment, begin to recount the tale of his creation…

It was around a little over three years ago, the evening that started his creation. Back when they were still on the airship, the orbital station only beginning to be worked on. Back when Right Hand Man had no clue one day half his body would be replaced by metal. Back before they knew one day they would be stranded on an alien planet by the government. Back before it seemed that one man came and almost managed to turn the clan's lives around for the worst…

It had been a busy week for the leader and his right hand at the time, so since they finally got some downtime, they decided to spend the night with their daughter. Sure, they tried to do this even when they were working, but this week made that near impossible. Lots of things to do and very little time. So it was in order, at least in Reginald's mind. And Hat Kid was happy, just messing around with the two all night long.

Although near the end Reginald had noticed something off. She didn't really talk about what she did the past week, something she normally did when they had the time for these talks. She loved to talk about what little messes her and the other kids got into.

"So Hattie, Mr. Macbeth said he caught some kids gluing glitter all over the walls despite the fact they know they aren't supposed to." Reginald said, glancing over at the girl who glanced to the side. He didn't mean to put her on the spot, but he was just curious and wanted to see if he could get her to talk. "He didn't give me any names, but it seemed like something you and the others would do." Reginald stated as Hat Kid nodded. "Were you one of them?"

"No… Even if I wanted to, they wouldn't let me." Hat Kid said, looking at Reginald with an innocent expression. Reginald paused what he was doing, and glanced over at his husband, who looked to confirm he caught the wording as well. Reginald turned back to Hat Kid, who was whistling. Must have realized what she said. She then glanced at them. "Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have stickers on my face or something."

"Why did ya phrase it like t'at?" Right Hand Man asked, being careful to have his voice in a more gentle tone as he came over, raising a brow. "Because t'ey knew you would get in trouble, and you were our kid?"

"Maybe? I'm not really sure." Hat Kid explained, before covering his mouth and mumbling something about not wanting them to be in trouble. Reginald led Hat Kid over to the couch in their room and had her sit down with him, Right Hand Man following. It took a second of silent reassurance that nothing bad would happen, before she sighed. "The kids haven't been playing with me lately. I'm not mad I just, don't get why?"

"Have you tried talking to them?" Reginald asked, and Hat Kid gave a small nod. He sighed, glancing to the side for a moment. Was it because she was getting older? She was about twelve, almost a teenager but not quite yet. He remembered his time in that awkward state, wasn't the best. He glanced down and slightly readjusted his daughter's hat. "I'm sure they'll let you play with them again eventually. And in the impossible chance they don't, you can start hanging with the teens."

"I've tried that, they won't let me either." Hat Kid said, sighing. "Something about 'getting hurt' or something, I dunno…" She yawned.

"Oh, I didn't even realize the time. Why don't you go get ready for bed?" Reginald said after he took a glance at the clock, it was already a bit past Hat Kid's normal bedtime. Luckily, she rarely put up a fuss when she was told that and this wasn't one of those rare moments. With a nod she said bye and left the room. Once the door was closed and a few seconds had passed, he turned to his husband. "I should have noticed something was up."

"Reg, don't start on yerself, she understands we're busy." Right Hand Man said, getting up with a stretch as he went to go take care of the little bit of paperwork they had left from that day. They already had to give a lot to Sven this week, so they didn't want to toss more. The man needed a break. Right glanced over his shoulder as he worked. "Still, I do find it a little strange. Is t'is normal? Ya know I wouldn't know."

"Maybe?" Reginald asked with a shrug, going over and unbuttoning his overshirt to help cool off from the heat in the room, helped him get ready to sleep easier, especially when he was worried. "Still, she doesn't deserve to be alone when we're not around."

"I know Reg, I know. Not muc' can be done t'ough. We can't make t'em be 'er friends. T'is is a criminal clan." Right Hand Man said, a small yawn in his voice. Reginald gave a sigh as he nodded and glanced at the ceiling as he layed in his bed. The idea of her being 'alone' worried him more then her not having a playmate, however. "Finally." He hard Right Mumble before heading over to the bed, untieing his hair for the night.

"What if something happens to us one of these days and she has no one?" Reginald asked as he turned his head slightly, glancing up at his husband. He saw Right pause for a moment, before sitting down beside him without an answer. She wouldn't be alone, they both silently reassured themselves, or at least tried too. "I know the clan would protect her but still, what if something happens and they can't? They're only human after all."

"We all are. Nothin' we can do about that." The future-cyborg said, leaning beside Reginald and allowing the man to run a hand through his hair. Right kept his annoyed mumble quiet, Reg needed this. "It's not like we can have her in a metal suit in case things go wrong." He tried to joke.

"No we cannot." Reginald said with the faintest chuckle in his voice, but the mention of metal brought an idea to mind. The topbots. They were rarely used and likely would be scrapped once they got the station up in a few years. Maybe he could take one, and reprogram it to keep an eye on her and keep her safe if anything happens. Who knows? Maybe he could even program it with some games. Make it act like a friend to her, maybe even like a brother…

"Ya ok Reg? Ya stared off into space again." Right Hand Man asked with a snap of his fingers, tilting his head as Reginald glanced at him. Reginald simply responded but quickly pulled the man closer, as fast as he could, and gave a kiss. Right rolled his eyes at the act, but didn't break for a few seconds. He chuckled as he glanced at him. "I swear I never understand what goes t’rough yer head sometimes, Reggie. I mean it."

"Maybe I like it that way?" Reginald asked, raising a brow as Right Hand Man chuckled. He then let out a yawn. "I'm heading to bed, night." He said as he closed his eyes.

"That quickly?" he could hear the head shake in his husband's voice and refused to move as he pulled the blanket out from under the 'sleeping' man. Reginald eventually got a 'night' in return as he felt an arm wrapped around him. Reginald smiled a bit more. He didn't know it then, but his and his son's fate had just been sealed.

Working on the topbot was strange. It felt like it took forever yet no time at all, as the time went by quickly once he had the freetime to work on it. He originally just played to reprogram it, but after deciding to lean into the 'brother' aspect as much as possible, ending up speaking a week alone remodeling the robot to look more human, especially more teen-like. Don't even ask him how he got the hair, he just black out mentally and it was there when he came back.

It all went smoothly, from the programming to the redesigning. The only incident he had was when he was working on some of the coding, something happened and he got shocked. He was fine and it wasn't even a bad shock, but something did feel a bit… odd afterwards. He couldn't quite place it however, so he didn't make a big deal about it. Would risk people finding out before he was ready. After at the very least a month of actual work, he felt the topbot was ready to test.

He didn't have the best place for the test, and he didn't want to use the same old, dusty space he’d been using to keep the topbot a surprise. So he snuck it to storage on a day he knew no one should be there, leaning the robot against a tank and removing the cloak he used to cover it while moving it, in case anyone saw.

"There we go…" Reginald smiled a bit as he glanced at the topbot. Its orange eyes were dull now, but he knew in a matter of moments they would glow with the light of life. If only he knew how true that statement was. He grabbed a few things from the box he brough, mostly just stuff for any adjustments he needed to make. "Well… no sense in holding back." He took the remote to the topbot, and pressed the 'on' button. He glanced up at the machine, no idea his world was about to be turned around.

ACTIVEING_UNIT-78… … RENAMING_PROGRAM… … ACTIVEING_PLATINUM… … HELLO_WORLD

The topbot's eyes lit up, and slowly blinked. It moved its head up yet its expression was blank. Reginald sighed inside, he was hoping he could get it to smile when he turned it on. But no matter, he could adjust that. Or maybe he just needed to give the topbot coding time to adjust to the new coding of being a protector, a brother. The robot glanced at him with the blank expression, tracking his movements faintly with its eyes.

"Hello Platinum." Reginald welcomed, despite knowing the topbot should know who he was. He grabbed a picture of Hat Kid he had brought, and held it up. He saw the topbot's eyes lock onto the picture quickly. "There's many things I programmed you to do. But…" He smiled. "Your main purpose is to keep her safe."

"Keep her safe…" The robot repeated his words, using the voice he spent a whole day working on so it was near-impossible to tell he recorded its lines… But that… wasn't one of them, was it? Inside the topbot's head, questions started to form… questions? thoughts? It didn't make sense… And that was when the new files began to try and find their place in it's- no, his head, and his eyes went wide.

"Platinum?" The man in front of him questioned, and the topbot glanced at him, shaking a bit as he stepped back. Platinum. Who was Platinum? He was Unit- No, No, His name was Platinum. How could he not know that? Why did he have a name? He glanced at the man in front of him, briefly words appeared in his vision and made the machine shout a small bit as he jumped back into the thing behind him. "Wait- Are you alright?"

"Am I?!" The machine asked, covering his mouth. That was an emotion in his voice, in him. He didn't know what it was, but it wasn't something he was supposed to feel normally. He then pause, he covered his mouth? He closed and open it, feeling the movement. He didn't have that before, did he? He didn't… He didn't do anything before, did he. Of course he did. He was a… "What's going on?! Why can I… feel." Platinum moved his hand slightly, watching with a mix of emotions he didn't know.

"How is this…" Reginald had begun to reach for the remote, but paused. The topbot in front of him seemed truly scared…

"Shouldn't you know Chef- No, Reginald- No, Dad?" Platinum asked in that one emotion, the words under the two hatted man kept changing as the files updated his information. The files, they were acting too quickly for him to try and focus. Trying to give him information on things he had zero clue on yet. Trying too, he didn't even know. "I-I can't do this. I-I can't, I'm broken. I-I can't do anything, there's too much, I-I-"

"Platinum, it's ok!" Reginald reached for the topbot's sleeved arm as the robot looked at him, his orange eyes shaking and some oily tears just starting to form in the bottom of it. He didn't understand why the topbot could be acting this way. He shouldn't be acting this way, it wasn't how he programmed his script… but maybe he wasn't running on it. "I don't know what's going on, but if you calm down, I'm sure we can work it out."

"Work on…me? Work means off!" Platinum backed up, pulling his arm away from the man. Something told him he didn't feel this way about being turned off against his will before. But that was when he didn't feel anything, when he didn't have a will. "I-I just wanna be left alone!"

"Platinum, I-" Reginald reached for him again, but Platinum pulled away and bumped his head into the thing behind him. He glanced back at it, and looked up slightly. He didn't know what it was, and it seemed the files in his head were racing to find an answer for him, which hurt his head more. But on top of the thing appeared to be an opening. "Wait, you can't go in that-" Reginald said once he saw the robot begin to climb up the tank.

"J-Just give me a moment!" Platinum cried out as he managed to open the tank and hop inside, closing it before Reginald had a chance to catch up with him. Platinum glanced around the dark space, letting out some shaky breaths as he got to his knees, taking his hand to his chest. He heard the entrance tried to be open, but he reached up and kept it closed. "P-Please! Leave! I don't know what's going on! I-I swear I'm not…"

Reginald was quiet as he listened to the sobs inside. "Ok… But you can't stay there forever. It's not safe." He said, gently patting the hatch. Even if he wanted to go in, Platinum had locked it so he couldn't get inside. "Just try and calm down.." he said as he began to head down the tank.

Once he was down on the ground, he sat for a moment, and thought.

Somehow, Platinum wasn't just an AI running on a script like he intended. He was alive, fully aware. Was every topbot like this? Having its own hidden soul waiting for the chance to express itself without being controlled… No, judging by his son’s reaction to, well, everything, it seemed Platinum had no idea what it meant to be alive. Just throwing the gift of life seemed to have caused him his panic.

"Well, know I wished I did this is small session." Reginald said, burying his head in his hands and letting out a mumble. He wasn't upset Platinum was alive, far from it. But he wasn't expecting to be the first to create a fully aware robot. One that was now sobbing inside the tank. It made him feel awful. If he knew, he would have taken it slower. Give Platinum time to adjust slowly.

It was too late for that now. Reginald glanced at the remote. He could turn Platinum off and move him somewhere calmer, but he was scared by the idea of being off… Which meant he was likely scared of Reginald now. He couldn't bring Hattie to him like this… that left only one option.

Right Hand Man was in his room, cleaning his bat with the tiniest hum coming from his voice. He just got back from a robbery and he got blood on it. Hey, it wasn't his fault the cop got in his way and refused to step away. He didn't hit hard enough to kill, so he was sure they would be fine after a month or two. That was just what you got when you messed with the Right Hand of the toppats. He wouldn't let himself or anyone else be taken away, not when he was around.

He heard the door open behind him and gave the smallest smile as he looked over his shoulder, seeing his husband. The smile faded a bit even as Reginald gave a small wave. Right Hand Man was no idiot. He could tell something was off. But he also knew just flat-out asking likely wouldn't hurt. Reginald had a bit of pride in him after all, and wouldn't acknowledge what was wrong unless it was him who acknowledged it. So Right would need to find a way to get him to do so.

He got up, tossing the cloth to the side as he went to put the bat back with the rest of his weapons. He glanced over as Reginald sat on the bed, glancing to the side with a look of questioning in his eyes.

"Everyt’in' went well at communications?" Right Hand Man started, Reginald giving a small nod. Perfect, he might be able to get Reginald to say it in conversation, without realizing it. Still, the nod seemed genuine as that was the only thing Right was aware of Reginald needing to do that day. And Burt wouldn't be the one to get the chef worried about something, that was Sven's job. "Good. Burt 'asn't 'ad any added stress about t'e eventually station plans?"

"He says he's sure he can handle the orbital station when the time comes." Reginald said with a smile. He looked at Right and sat beside him, and it made him sigh. God, how was he supposed to start this out. 'So, I made a living AI and he's our son?'. Right didn't even want anymore kids and he didn't mean to push one on him like this. He sighed. "Do you, remember when we first got Hattie?" He started, glancing as his husband nodded.

"Not sure I could ever forget." Right Hand Man said, glancing out the window nearby. The sight of that crashed spaceship would never leave his memory. "Why do ya ask? Because of 'er friends issue?"

"Perhaps… do you remember how she was sad about that rumba of hers?" Regianld asked, getting a nod after Right took a few seconds to fully remember. He could tell back then that it meant a lot to her, but she could tell they were a bit confused so she was doing her best not to seem too emotional over it. He didn't understand why but he wasn't going to question it. "I wonder what it must have been like for her, all alone with nothing but her little robot friend."

"Well, judging by her reaction, they were close." Right Hand Man said. He was a little confused by the way Reginald was taking the cover nation. Why bring up something she seemed to have moved on from? Was he, trying to fix it? He did catch Reginald going through parts of stuff they stole and borrowing tools, all while he thought Right wasn't looking. "Reg, why are you bringin' this up?" Right finally decided to ask as Reginald glanced to the side.

"I… might have done something…" Reginald said, like a child trying to avoid getting in trouble. Right just rolled his eyes and waited for Reginald to finish. The man sighed. "So I… took aside a topbot and reprogrammed it."

"All on yer own? Self taug't?" Right asked with a brow raised, and Reginald gave a sheepish smile as he nodded. Right was still full of questions, new ones like 'why' being added into that pot inside his brain. But he couldn't help but be at least a little amazed, he suspected Reginald was working on something machine based, but programming was a nightmare from what he understood. "Dunno w'y ya did it. But ya should be proud, Reg."

"I am. It's just… my programming went a little too far… and I accidentally gave him life?" Reginald said sheepishly, looking at Right. Right was caught off guard by that, and his face showed. Reginald had to hold in a chuckle as he explained more. "I made him to act like a brother to Hat Kid. Someone too keeps her safe even in the worst case scenario… I also had us programed as his fathers just for more of the heck of it, but now he's alive and-"

"Ya basically made us a new kid?" Right summarized it as Reginald nodded. He let out a sigh as he brought a hand down his face, shaking it slightly. "Reg, I love ya. But couldn't ya 'ave at t'e very least ask me first? We just got used to bein' Dads for Hattie."

"In my defense, I wasn't trying to make an actual son! Just more of a toy? …That sounds wrong knowing he's alive now." Reginald said, shaking his head as Right Hand Man nodded. He was a bit annoyed but it, couldn't be helped. He just had to live with it. Besides, it was a robot child so hopefully he would be a little easier then Hat Kid, and he had experience. "I should have told you, I'm sorry. I just wanted him to be a surprise."

"It's ok, but no more kids after this, please Reg. We're the leaders of a criminal organization, that alone puts our kids at risk." Right Hand Man said, and Reginald nodded. After a moment Right paused. He didn't know if the robot was listening in on the cover nation. He got up to check, ready to talk to him about things since he could have made him mad. "Well, I guess I should go meet him. He's outside waiting, isn't he."

"No, he's in a tank." Reginald said, and Right looked a little shocked. "When I turned him on the sudden self-awareness gave him a panic attack, he climbed into it and I couldn't get him out. I was hoping you could come help me?" Reginald asked. "I think he might be scared I'll just turn him off against his will."

"I suppose the concept is horrifying when you are a machine." Right Hand Man said with a sigh, adjusting his bandana around his neck so he could breathe just a little bit easier. Reginald got into the hall with him and they began to head to storage, Reginald silently hoping nothing had happened while he was gone. It was only about ten minutes at max, but it felt like an hour, somehow. "So, what did you name him? Or does he not have one yet?"

"His name is Platinum. It's not very creative but, I felt it fit." Reginald said, as Right nodded. Platinum Copperbottom, had a ring to it he suppose. He felt Reginald grab his hand and Right glance up slightly at him. He could see worry was starting to get to him. He just had his hand a slight squish and Reginald nodded. "It'll be fine, he'll be fine. We'll just have to take things slow. Hopefully he isn't mad."

"If anything he should be glad once he calms down." Right commented as Reginald glanced at him. "Not everyday you're the lucky one out of hundreds of soulness machines to be given life."

Reginald nodded, and couldn't help but think about it. Would 'Platinum' have ended up different depending on which topbot he used… Why was he wondering that? Platinum was Platinum. He just hoped they could get him to see that…

Platinum wasn't sure how long he was in what he now knew was a tank. It felt like forever. But he didn't mind it. He had managed to get the files to slow their uploading inside his head, and that allowed him to think more clearly, process things clearly. Looking back, he was a bit embarrassed about how he reacted in front of his father, but what was Dad expecting? Him to just turn on and be chill and ready to go? He just tossed awareness onto an object, of course the 'object' would panic.

He slowly glanced at his hands, moving them. Watching as the light from his new orange eyes shone off them. He was still fascinated. It was strange. His memory of being today was blurred. There was stuff but it was hard to recall because there wasn't any Platinum there to remember. He wasn't sure how to feel about this in the long run. But he couldn't stay inside this tank forever. He had a battery that needed to be charged eventually after all.

He climbed back to the hatch, and he took a breath. He didn't need to breathe, but it helped soothe the small nerves building up. He glanced outside the tank when he opened the hatch. Reginald was gone. Huh, he was honestly expecting his father to be waiting. At least he seemed to represent his space…

"Thank goodness he didn't turn me on in front of her." Platinum sighed as he rest his arms in front of him. By now he had fully recovered his programmed purpose, to be a brother to Hat Kid. And he wanted to be a good one, he genuinely did. He just didn't know how he would make any relationship if she saw him panic like that… he paused as he glanced down at the tank. "You know, I could get used to this." He went to go get a look at the controls.

"Oi!" A voice called and it made him jump a bit. Already the files were trying to speed up again, there weren't too many left, but he didn't want to risk freaking out again. He glanced over and saw his father come in with a man. Somehow the man looked familiar, probably had info but he had stopped that file to calm down easier. "Platinum, get out of the tank!" The man said. Platinum gave a smirk, he was programmed to be a troublemaker after all.

"You're not my dad." Platinum started with a chuckle, leaning back with a smug smile. The man looked confused and glanced at his dad. Reginald shrugged at his husband, he could only assume something went wrong in Platinum file's trying to be uploaded.

Right Hand Man tried not to get mad, just annoyed. "Get out of t'e freakin' tank, I am yer Dad!" He called, and Platinum pulled his head back to laugh right as Reginald nodded to his husband's words, so the robot didn't see it. Right glanced at Reginald again and he just mouth the word 'troublemaker'. Of course, Right rolled his eyes. The perfect kind of friend for Hat Kid but not the best type for getting a teen to listen.

"You’re not my Dad!" Platinum started with a chuckle, ducking his head back in for a moment as he heard the man let out a mumble of frustration. He wasn't lying, was he? And besides, this was who he was. It was his first day, they could give him some slack if he was pushing it. He glanced back out with an innocent smile on his face as the red haired man sighed. He glanced at his Dad and gave a thumbs up as Reginald sighed as well.

"Yes I am yer Dad, get out of t'e freakin' tank!" Right Hand Man said as the topbot teen laughed. He sighed. "Ya could get hurt!" He added.

"I'm in a tank and you're not!" Platinum stated boldly, glancing at the man. His bold smile faded when his files finally began to finish processing. And he was instantly hit with the relation that not only was this the second in command of all the toppats. He was, in fact, his Dad. He wanted to hop back in the tank but, he already made himself a bit of a fool here. "Alright, I'll head down. Sorry, my files just finished uploading, Pops."

"Good, but I'm makin' sure that tank is moved to a ground base." Right commented, the teen grumbling a bit as he came down. He glanced at Reginald and then back at the topbot. Now that the 'inside a deadly weapon' issue was taken care of, they were able to take in the fact that Platinum seemed fine now. That was good. "Just don't head into somethin' like that next time you get scared. I understand, but if you pressed a button, things could have gotten bad fast." Right stated, as Platinum nodded faintly.

"At least you're ok." Reginald finally spoke, glancing at Platinum with a smile. Platinum gave a look of 'why wouldn't I be?', but knew what he was referring to. Reginald faintly glanced at the box he still had nearby, with everything he had planned to use earlier if readjustments were needed. He scolded his past self a bit before turning back to his son. "Are you feeling alright? You're systems haven't overheated, have they?"

"I'm fine Dad. Just was… surprised?" Platinum said, looking at the two. To be honest, he still wasn't sure if that was the word he was looking for. He knew what emotions were now but actually pin-pointing the ones he was feeling was still a bit of a challenge. He assumed he would pick up on it quickly though. Just needed the chance to feel more. "Sorry to scare you, just, didn't know how else to react… And besides, you know how you made me."

"I do." Reginald said, a small chuckle in his voice as Right Hand Man rolled his eyes. Even as the man did so, there was a small smile on his face. Sure, Platinum was meant to be a surprise and he’d rather have been aware, but hey. He was his son, nothing would change that. Reginald glanced at Platinum. "Do you feel like you're ready to meet-"

"Dad, Papa? What's with the robot with you?" A young voice called that spook all three of them, at least a little bit. Platinum was the first to recover from the spook, glancing to the stairs where Hat Kid was heading down with a head tilt. She seemed to be eyeing the robot in curiosity and just a hint of worry. "Why is he looking at me, is he a topbot?" She asked. Platinum glanced at his Dads, and got a nod of 'go ahead' from Reginald.

"Well Hat Kid." He said as he headed over, being slow as to try and not spook her. He bent down to her level when he got close enough. "I'm Platinum! Dad and Pops have been working on me for awhile now, mostly Dad. I'll be your big brother and I'll make sure you'll never be alone!" He could have sworn he saw sparkles enter her eyes as she let out a small gasp of excitement. Before quickly hugging him. "Hehe, so you like me?"

"Yea! Thank You Dad, Thank you Papa!" Hat Kid said, calling over her new brother's shoulder at the men, before breaking free of the hug and grabbing Platinum's arm. "Come on, there's so much I wanna show you. Oh, the others are going to be jealous!"

"I bet!" Platinum said, before quickly running off with her, making sure she was in his sights at all times.

"Well, t'at went smoot'ly." Right Hand Man commented.

"Yea… You know, I didn't program every little thing about Platinum. I wanted to see if the script could make its own choices…" Reginald glanced back at the hall. "I can't wait to see who he grows to be."

"And that's pretty much it. Yea, My first few moments weren't pretty, but hey, I'm here today and that's all that matters." Platinum finished as he turned back to the group. For whatever reason, Hat Girl told him to tell the story on the go since she wanted to take them somewhere. A little odd seeing how it was almost over anyway at the time, but he didn't question his sister. He glanced back at the others. "Thoughts."

"Ye should have fired the tank and seen what would've happened." The Conductor said, Platinum chuckling while DJ Grooves and Mu facepalmed. He turned to the chuckle of his sister and smiled. He… wasn't the best at the protection role he was programmed for. But he made sure she never was alone. Back when Dad and Pops were gone, he rarely left her side. He didn't know what would happen if he lost all three of them. "So, what's yer birthday anyway?"

"It's around this time of year actually." Hat Girl said with a smile. A smile that seemed a bit too knowing for Platinum. He paused and sighed, glancing at his sister with a brow raised. "You finally got it, didn't you?" She asked. "You forget every year."

"Wait, really? Today is your birthday." DJ Grooves asked. "And you forgot?" Platinum let out a grone. He could see why they were excited, sure. But he was always just happy to be alive. And while he never told anyone, his birthday brought back the fact he was once a normal topbot, and it easily could have been another one who got the life he now would fight for… "I'm surprised they're not throwing you a big party right now."

"Oh, there's a party waiting, they just never make it big because they know I rather my own be small." Platinum said, pausing when Hat Girl opened the door. Shadow Kid jumped out and grabbed his leg, and he gave a small smile talking about what was inside. There was a sigh as Right Hand Man peaked his head out of the room, shaking his head. "You all weren't going to surprise me. And even if you did, there wouldn't be much of a reaction."

"Just get in 'ere Plat." Right Hand Man said, with an eyes roll yet a small smile. The room wasn't anything fancy, and there wasn't too much going on inside besides a few people who were welcomed to come. But if Platinum had to have his own party, that was the way he liked it. He chuckled slightly with an eye roll.

Luckily, he had been in this kind of situation twice before so he was decent at getting through the typical convos and stuff that came when you were the one the party was celebrating. The only thing he really had to do was eventually open the gifts, well, besides having fun. Luckily, his parents or Macbeth would step in if it was clear Plat was feeling a little lost in one convo and just wanted out. He thanked them for that, at least.

He ended up spending most of the time with Van and Hat Girl, just hanging out like it wasn't anything special. And it made it feel special. He found himself glancing at Van when he was sure no one was looking because they just looked so pretty today. The lights that Macbeth had dug up for the party almost made them glow and it seemed only he saw that. It actually made him a bit glad he had a party for once. At least he knew what he might be able to do for Van's…

Hat Girl eventually caught him and he had to snap out of his self-trace before anyone else noticed. Sure basically everyone on the station knew he had a crush on someone now, but he didn't want those who didn't know whom yet knew it was Van. Less of all let Van know.

"I'm surprised you aren't trying to sneak away and do something, if you really don't want to be here." Mu commented as she leaned against the wall while speaking with him, eating a bit of the cake. Platinum couldn't eat it but he didn't really mind because he didn't really care for food anyway. Because he couldn't eat. "It does seem nice for you, even if it's not anything grand… better than anything I've gotten." She whispered to herself.

"Sorry.." Platinum said, having heard her. Mu just shrugged like she didn't care, and Platinum stepped away and went over to his fathers. "Dad, is it ok if I open my stuff and go. I may have stayed up late the last few nights so my battery isn't as charged as it should be." A lie, but it allowed him to go with a nod from Reg. He made sure no one really noticed. Hat Girl thought about calling attention to it, but didn't. She knew her brother.

He stuffs the wrapping paper in his pockets to hide it as he opens his stuff. There wasn't too much, but he liked it that way. He always told his Dads never to get him much of anything, and they confusedly did so.

He did pause when he opened one though. "Woah." He said to himself. It wasn't anything too grand. It was just a jacket in the same style of the one he always wore. But the colors were those of the pan flag. He should've known his Dads would've gotten him that after coming out, but still. It stood out for some reason. Maybe because it reminded him of the joy it was to be yourself, even if it was a different type of 'be yourself' then the colors represented. He threw it on quickly, standing up and smiling at it. "Hey, thanks!" He called to his Dads nearby, before turning to the others.

He saw Van glancing at him. Was that a.. blush on their cheek? He decided to get a closer look. He heard a "Yer welcome!" From Right as Platinum went over to his crush.

"You look really good in that, Platinum." Van said with a smile on their face, the topbot giving a happy nod as he took a step back and did a little spin to show off… before almost losing his balance. Van quickly grabbed him and stopped, letting out a chuckle. "We know you're a star of the show, but try not to break a leg."

"Star? Nah, I'm more of the disco ball. Does that, even make sense." Platinum asked, tilting his head. Still, he felt his faceplates warm up a bit at Van's comment. But then he saw Van raise a brow. "What is it."

They hesitated for a moment. "Um…Did you get updated again recently?" Van asked. Platinum gave a confused nod, it was two days ago. Just replacing some parts that may have broken. Add any features Reginald could add, as long as they didn't risk messing with his code. "It's faint but… you're blushing."

"What?!" Platinum caught sight of his face using his hand. Van was right, it was faint but there was some sort of light shining through his plates like a blush. "How-"

"Oh, that was me." Hat Girl chuckled as she bumped between the two. "Dad had to leave to take care of an emergency while he was replacing some of the wires in your head, so me and Snatcher made a quick upgrade."

"You're welcome!" The ghost called from nearby.

"Sis, because it's my birthday and I'm generous, you get ten seconds. RUN." A timer appeared in his eyes as Hat Girl quickly darted out of the room with a laugh. Van shook their head a bit.

"If it makes you feel better. I think the blush looks nice on you." Van stated. That made Platinum's blush feature activate more. But yet, he couldn't help but smile.

He was so lucky to be alive…

Joey’s arm slips around you and he pulls you into his side like usual as you walk onto campus. Jo spots you and wanders over, your friend Rae beside her and the two of them arguing over whose turn it is to wear the neon pink swimsuit they went in half on during the summer at Tina’s pool party on Saturday night.

Joey tenses suddenly and this prompts you out of your own head. To become a more active participant in the conversation happening all around you. You glance in the direction Joey’s looking in and your brow raises when you see that Joey’s glaring a hole through Tommy Hagan as Tommy leans against the brick wall and smokes a cigarette before class.

You almost ask him what was up with it, but you decide against it. Turns out, you don’t have to ask because Joey’s glaring again and he rolls his eyes, holding up a middle finger at Tommy.

“What the hell is going on between you two, hm?” you step away from Joey and your hand settles in your hair as you look up at Joey, tapping your foot against the gravel. Joey chuckles. “Gonna have to have another talk with him, looks like.”

“About?”

“Nothin.” Joey shrugs and won’t elaborate. But then he explodes and at some point during it, Jo overhears and butts in. “I keep telling her, Joe. But she insists that he’s not staring into her bedroom window either. Maybe now she’ll believe me.” Jo gives you a look and you glare at her in frustration.

She hates your boyfriend and yet, she hates Tommy Hagan enough that she’s willing to say something to Joey that she knows will start shit and stir the pot. It really annoys you. “Gee, thanks, Josephine.”

“That asshole’s lookin in your window?” Joey’s all puffed up now, he’s not happy about it at all. “And you’re fine with it? You don’t think maybe this is something I need t’ tell my boyfriend about, darlin?”

“Well, no.. I mean, it’s not like it’s a big deal.” you shrug. You don’t understand why it matters. He’s not even looking at you, more than likely.

“It is.”

“Especially when you parade around with the fucking tapestry pulled back all the time.” Jo insists.

You turn to her and glare again. “You’re not helpin, Jo.”

“Yeah, well. It’s creepy and it needs to stop. Besides, I think it’d be kinda neat.. See that pretty boy toolbag finally get his ass handed to him.” Jo laughs. “It’s what he needs, truth be told. Him and that asshole Harrington and their little pet bitch, Carol.”

“Both of you knock it off right now. Nobody’s saying a goddamn word to him. Are we clear? It’d be different if he were like.. Stalking me. But he’s not. There’s no reason to start a war over any of this.” you rub your temples. “And we’ve been over this, Joey. You don’t own me. You know I hate it when you try to do this territory pissing shit.”

You storm off, shoving through the crowded hallway and into the bathroom because right now, you’re a little too annoyed at your so-called best friend and your current boyfriend and you just need some space. While you’re in the bathroom, you lean against the wall to calm down.

Carol Perkins wanders in and as usual, she scowls at you.

“What the fuck is your problem?” you ask, glaring at her.

“You are.” she answers as she starts to touch up her makeup and fix her hair in the mirror.

You gape at her. “You don’t know me.”

She puts down her lipstick and grips the edge of the sink. “I know enough about your type. You and Nancy Wheeler. You’re a lot alike.”

You laugh at the comparison. “Me and that priss? How so? I mean.. Last I checked the stick is so far up her ass it’s poking her brain stem. And she’s actually kinda pretty, that’s the sad thing about it.”

And then it hits you and you’re smirking. “Oh, I get it.. I see what this is. You’re jealous. Why you’re jealous of me, I have not one fucking clue. I don’t care either. But if I were you,” you step away from the wall and closer to her as your smirk grows slightly, “I’d watch my back. Cos see… Unlike Nancy, I’m not afraid to knock you on your ass.”

Carol scoffs. Rolls her eyes at you dismissively. “I’ve got better things to do than fight you.”

“Uh-huh.” you laugh, “And here you are, starting shit.. With your usual crap towards me. Tell me how it makes sense, hm?”

You’re obviously not getting any peace or any less annoyed in the girls bathroom, so you leave before she says anything else and you really get angry and make your way to class.

And down the hall, Steve is standing by the athletics sign ups board with Tommy.

“Tell me again why you’re trying out for football, Hagan?” Steve asks, a brow raised as he studies his best friend intently. Tommy chuckles.

“Maybe I think it’ll be fun to get away with knocking people down. Maybe I wanna blow off steam.” Tommy shrugs it off. But he knows exactly why he’s trying out for the team and it’s not because he’s suddenly developed a love for the game, no.. It’s because he overheard the entire heated argument between you and that prick you call a boyfriend, Joey Lewis. And he saw the way Joey tried to grab your wrist when you had enough and you wanted to walk away, get some space before you did that thing you always used to when he knew you as a kid and lost your temper, made a scene.

Tommy might not speak to you. He might not acknowledge you. But make no mistake. He is painfully aware of you and he always has been. And the protective feelings didn’t just die because he got with Carol and became best friends with Steve Harrington. They simply went dormant.

You’re still very much in his ‘circle’. And when he saw Joey grab your wrist, it lit his already too short fuse.

So now, he’s going to take the easy way to getting his hands on the asshole. He’s going to try out for football and somehow, he will tackle Joey. Just one good time. And it better teach him to keep his hands to himself when it comes to you.

“Okay, alright. So touchy, Hagan.” Steve jokes. Tommy gives him a dirty look and Carol makes her way over, leaning all over him. She’s tense, edgy. Tommy looks down at her and bites his lip as he slips an arm around her. “What’s wrong with you, huh?”

“Another run in with your mousy little neighbor.”

Tommy can’t help it, he might tense up just a little. And he’s torn in two ways, leaning more towards Carol starting it. She’s good at doing that shit.

“Nothing to say, Tommy?” Carol asks, pouting a little as she gazes up at him. And when he smirks and shrugs, she gets that little sinking feeling in her stomach. Because for as long as she can remember, no matter how hard she tries to get him to do it, Tommy won’t say one thing about you, good or bad.

And sometimes he gets a little too edgy when she does it herself.

“Don’t start.” Tommy mutters calmly, giving her a firm look of warning. “Why are you standing over here anyway, huh?” Carol asks, gazing up at him.

“Tell her, Tommy. Tell her what you just signed up for.”

Carol’s gaze fixes on Tommy and he chuckles. “Going out for football, I guess?” shrugging as if it’s nothing and it’s totally not a spur of the moment decision brought on by the fact that he wants one good time to knock Joey Lewis in the dirt and get away with it.

Carol snickers quietly.

Tommy clenches his fist. “What?”

“Football?”

“Yeah. Football.”

“Tommy, why? I mean..” she’s toying with his shirt sleeve, dragging her fingers over the muscles on his bicep as she bats those lashes up at him and licks her lips, “You would look so hot in the uniform but… It’s a Neanderthal sport. Do you really want people to believe you’re an idiot? Are you trying to get your brain knocked out?”

Tommy rolls his eyes and he wants to say something but he keeps quiet.

– ( that afternoon )

You’re lingering by the chain link fence around the football field because you told Joey you’d watch him try out for the team again. Tommy Hagan walks right past, right through the gate and as usual, he barely glances your way. You ignore the pointed look that Jo gives you as he walks past. All day she’s been on this tangent.

It’s really starting to grate your last nerve.

“It’s a free country. Don’t start, Jo.”

The coach gives the nod when he lines up opposite Joey Lewis for a tackle drill.

Tommy smirks and crouches. When the coach blows the whistle again, he’s lunging straight for Joey Lewis. Putting him on his back as he slams his whole body into him as hard as he can, the collision nearly making him bite his own lip when it happens. Joey’s winded, the breath has been knocked out of him entirely. Tommy almost tells him that next time he’ll do more than spear him if he sees him grab your arm the way he did this morning, but instead, he holds out a hand and when Joey goes to grab for it, he yanks it back and laughs. “You’re a big boy, Lewis. Get your own ass off the ground.” Tommy says before walking away, going back to the bleachers.

He catches sight of you over by the chain link fence and for a second or two, he stares. Watches the way the wind blows your hair. The way you’re watching the guys as they line up a second time to do it again. Just as you glance his way, he looks down and pretends to be tying his sneaker.

When he finally looks up again, your car is pulling out of the school parking lot.

He raises a hand and drags it through his hair and Steve wanders in, grinning. High fiving him. “That was a.. That was a pretty hard hit, Hagan. Good one.”

Tommy grins. “Gave it everything I had, Harrington. You ready to blow this shit? Maybe football isn’t for me after all.” Tommy stands and the two of them make their way down the bleachers, over to where they parked their cars that morning.

Carol, as he thought, is nowhere to be found.

It’s really not a surprise to him. It bothers him sometimes but he’d never actually say it. Why rock the boat?

They’re not fighting right now. Things are kind of good.

Maybe it needs to stay that way. Tommy’s already had enough upheaval what with Steve getting into a relationship with Nancy Wheeler and ditching him a lot more lately just to spend time with her. It feels like he’s losing him. The last thing he wants is to lose both of them somehow…

He's already lost you, years ago... He can't lose Steve or Carol too...

i can't be where you don't see me (but autumn comes when your not done of the summer sun)

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/t4IqczJ by Wordless_Writer "There was nothing else to do though after that. So he moped, sulked, and then decided to get rejected and hopefully move on. The Jinko had practice with rejecting people (Ryuunosuke did not stalk the people who asked Jinko to hang out and then confessed to him. It was merely a coincidence that he saw all of those moments. And was close enough to interfere the moment the Jinko looked uncomfortable) so Ryuunosuke knew that he would let him down in a way that did not make Ryuunosuke want to pull a Dazai-san. Yes, Ryuunosuke was going to confess.

Jordan: "You know what, Mark? It's been a couple of years, but I still can't believe werewolves still exist. And we're looking at one. Just like that."

Mark: "Yeah."

Jordan: "I wasn't expecting him to look like this though, but I guess that's why we're studying him... we're so used to thinking they're these huge, hairy monsters. The ones recorded out history anyway. What if we're looking at a mutation?"

"Mostly human in appearance, but subtle elements of wolf. The fact that he doesn't turn every full moon is strange... What do you think?"

(Mark is tuning out his colleague's rambling as they attempt to fill in dead air. He's not particularly interested right now, staring out of the one-way window.)

Jordan: "Mark."

Mark: "What?

Jordan: "What's going on? You've been acting weird lately."

Mark: "Whaddya mean? I'm fine."

"Nothing's... wrong."

Jordan: "Uh-huh. C'mon."

"It's just us two. Bernard's not gonna bust in here and give you shit. And Charles... well, you know, being a weirdo with his vibes."

"What's on your mind?"

Mark: "I'm just... worried about John. This doesn't feel right. What we're doing. Sure, he's a werewolf, but is he really that dangerous?"

Jordan: "Are you serious? Of course he is! Why do you think he's in there and we're over here? Have you seen him, Mark? Look at those muscles! Look at the tats! He has claws. And teeth! Good lord, he can rip someone's throat out with those!"

Mark: "He hasn't done anything."

Jordan: "He'll snap us like a twig! Who knows what he'll do if he loses control! We're helping him not to do all of that and helping us to be safe!"

Mark: "I don't think we're helping him at all. "

Jordan: "Mark, you sweet summer child, you have lost your mind. Okay, then what is it? Let me guess, you have morals. Are you having second thoughts? Do you have a crush on him and you're conflicted? Oh my god, I don't blame you--"

Mark: (indignant) "Jordan, I swear to god. No. I mean, I do! I have morals. And aren't you going out with Dan?"

Jordan: (scoffs) "I can go window shopping."

"Look, they're paying us out the nose to sacrifice a little bit of our time. Our school shit's paid off in full three times over! Hell, we can buy a whole ass house! Two of them even. Or one of those full service high-rise apartments in San Myshuno. Plus, we'll get our names in papers. Publications. The team that discovered that werewolves still exist! We're set for the rest of our lives, Mark!"

(Jordan scoffs again.) "Worried. In this economy? Couldn't be me. I'll take what I can get. You can bear to be selfish every now and then! Sure, it's at someone's expense..."

(Jordan turns at the sound of the lab door locks disengaging.)

???: "What are you on about now, Jordy?"

Jordan: "Oh, you know, the usual, Dan. Mark's being a downer again."

Mark: (under his breath) "No, I'm not."

Daniel: "What did I tell you about doing that?"

Mark: "Don't be such a little--"

Daniel: "I was talking to Jordy."

Jordan: "You're taking his side?"

Daniel: "I am this time. Have to maintain balance between you two."

Daniel: "So. What's the deal here?"

Jordan: "Well..."

"Our sleeping prince's vitals are elevated and Mark is worried about that."

Daniel: "How long has he been like that?"

Mark: "A few hours. Around the same time the light cycle started."

Daniel: "Hmm."

Jordan: "And before you ask, I checked the levels and they're fine. It's probably a small reaction. That or he's starting to move."

Daniel: "Maybe you should check?"

Jordan: "Me? Oh no. No no no."

Daniel: "And why not?"

Jordan: "This may sound stupid, but I don't want to get mauled if he happens to wake up."

Mark: (mockingly) "My levels are fine." (normally) "Afraid you might be wrong?"

Daniel: "Might bold of you to say that, Mark. Then why don't you go check?"

(Mark blinks.) "Hm?"

Daniel: "Don't 'hm' me. You check."

Mark: "Why don't... you?"

Daniel: "You're the only two that hasn't. Bernard has, Charles has, and I checked last night."

Jordan: "Alright; you know what? Let's settle this with a little game. Right now. How about Rock, Paper, Scissors?"

Mark: "Oh yeah? What are the rules?"

(A very smug Jordan chuckles.) "Best two out of three. Loser checks on the werewolf."

(Daniel groans as he runs his hand down his face.) "You two are killing me with this."

Jordan: "Ready? Rock, Paper, Scissors--"

Hello! Did you ever talk about Festa 2016 BTS spanking each other? What do you think about Jungkook’s reactions? Not Jikook, but in general? Because he doesn’t give me the straight vibe at all. Not in a creepy way. It’s just that everyone except Jungkook seems rather chill? And he’s a little bit too much excited? But trying not to let it show? Or I am wrong and his reactions seemed awkward because he was the youngest and shy? The link: https://youtu.be/NGR30ZDzN-w

Your link, anon :)

youtube

And it is cute. But since we watch original content in this house, here is the longer version. And it is long - so by all means enjoy the edit of the spanky spanky part. THIS BEAST IS AN HOUR+ but it's totally worth it BECAUSE We get to see a lot of what went on right at FESTA 2016. This was actually filmed on June 12 that year.

youtube

And there are some amazing moments. At 23:30-25:00 Yoongi starts talking about a guy he knows who was talking to him about Jimin, for example, and we get this.

A bit of a half-pleased, half really shy/ embarrassed JeiKei. And why not when his hyungs are all basically talking about how Jimin is so sexy that guys in other groups can’t stop talking about him.

We do get a camera cut-off moment around 44:00 as well:

Personally? I don't think Jungkook is being overly gay about the spanking. First off for most of us spanking games are just super gay in and of themselves, but it is kinda locker room humor and I really think the guys were viewing it that way. Okay maybe not Yoongi. That dude just … hung out there for a minute.

I never paid that much attention to YoonMin but damn, Yoongi. Wanna talk about nothing straight going on here, that boy was a mess for Jimin this whole video. And if you watch that’s really where you see Jungkook’s shy come out. He’s a mess, this guy.

Jungkook does seem to be a little shy about the sheer magnificence of Jimin's ass but really? Can't blame him. JeiKei was rather interested in Jimin doing the spanking:

I think there was a combo platter of feelings going on for Jungkook that whole FESTA season. He wanted so much to prove he was an adult. And at 20 Korean age, almost 19 international? He was. But he spent so much of his formative time working that he really didn't get to grow up normally. I mean if you think about it, by 2016 Jungkook had been working and living with all those guys for years. The only person he was still shy around was Jimin. And that, for obvious reasons.

When you've been taught your whole life that your basic attraction to people is built wrong, that makes you doubt your whole self.

Along comes Jimin who upended every idea about traditional beauty, masculinity, and sexuality he'd ever been taught. And the kid fought it, he tried, but by 2016 it was a done deal. He was head over feet, as Alanis would say, and he was DONE. Done and in love and very much NOT heterosexual. That's a lot for any kid to handle. Then you add the need for secrecy while he figured things out, uncertainty about what a relationship would mean for him, for Jimin, for the group, whether there should even be a relationship, what constitutes boyfriends vs just friends, an entire gay and also sexual awakening... that is a LOT a lot.

Queer kids don't get enough credit, IMO. Straight kids are given a lot of romantic leeway while they go through these early stages of crushes and loves and sex - but queer kids are so busy trying NOT TO BE QUEER that they don't get that.

Especially not Korean idols who live with six other guys and only a few of them maybe know who he is. Maybe up until 2015-2016 he wasn’t even sure who he was. And I don’t think Jimin was experienced enough to be a lot of help. After all, he was going through the same damn thing.

So I vote we give Kookie a bit of a pass on this one. His life was looking very different to him in the summer of 2016.

#jimin #jungkook #OT7 #yoongi though omg #early legal jikookery #jikook just jikooking nbd #early jeon parks pre jeon park household status #also a whole park jimin exists #jikook #kookmin #and a jeon jungkook #jmjk #jkjm #anon #2016 festa #must be 2016 at the soon to be jeon park house #festa 2016 #in the year of our lord oh shit I’m gay #park jimin

Double Trouble

Request: Yes or No

Couldn't think of a better title lmao. This is gonna be real shitty but the intro to series are either amazing or pure shit. Gonna give (Y/N)'s mom and fam a name cause I don't wanna keep writing (M/N) or (L/N). (Y/N) isn't related to any of the characters fyi. Spot the very obvious accidental reference

"Why California? Out of all the places in America, California was choice you went with? Not Washington, Oregon, or fuck, I don't know, North Dakota?" (Y/N) rested his head against the window, watching the houses pass by. His mother, Tanya, glanced at him with a small frown.

"Baby, aren't you tired of Alaska? Same old cold weather?" Tanya asked, staring forward at the empty road. (Y/N) scoffed, sitting up and looking at her with a raised brow.

"You can escape the cold. You can't escape the heat." (Y/N) pointed out, leaning back and picking up his phone with a frown. He looked at the texts from his friend, sighing softly.

Yaya

U already in cali??

(Y/N)

It sucks

Yaya

New school new u bby

Daniel

Whats the time difference?

(Y/N)

It's 4 here

(Y/N)

Wbu?

Yaya

"Baby, could you look at me?" Tanya asked, pulling into the school parking lot and parking the car. (Y/N) turned his head to look at her.

"I'm sorry I suddenly dragged us out of Alaska. I just felt like we could use a change. Alaska feels suffocating as an adult. I want you to have new experiences." Tanya explained softly. (Y/N) nodded, glancing at the students walking into school.

"Listen, if you get anxious or feel sick, text me, okay?" Tanya gave him a comforting smile, running a hand through his hair. (Y/N) nodded, opening the car door. He unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.

"Have a good day, sweetie!"

"You too." (Y/N) closed the door, walking towards the school. He had lived in Seward his whole life. He was used to the cold, the sound of boats, the cold immediately hitting his face the moment he stepped outside. (Y/N) knew it wasn't about experiences. His mom just didn't want him to have the same boring life she did. (Y/N) looked at his phone, opening the group chat again. He looked through the texts, smiling at the pictures his friend sent him. (Y/N) looked at his email, sighing as he searched for his locker. He found it, opening it and glancing at the guy beside him.

"Uh, hey, I'm Ethan. You're new, right?" Ethan gave an awkward smile, clearing his throat. (Y/N) licked his lips, nodding. Ethan seemed like the typical nerdy loner.

"Yeah, I'm (Y/N)."

"Cool, cool. Where are you coming from?" Ethan tilted his head, closing his locker and leaning against it. (Y/N) didn't feel like making friends but Ethan could probably help him get familiar with everyone and everything.

"Alaska." (Y/N) replied, closing his locker and giving him a tight smile. Ethan's brows raised, letting out a small chuckle.

"Really? That's cool, I've never really left California. What's it like?"

"Cold." (Y/N) chuckled softly. Ethan laughed and nodded, licking his lips as he stuck his hands in his pockets. (Y/N) looked him over. He was small, skinny, seemed nervous and awkward. Probably a good guy.

"So, are you a junior?" Ethan asked. (Y/N) nodded, going into his phone gallery and pressing on the saved picture of his schedule. He showed him the screen, watching him lean in and smile.

"We have 1st, 3rd, and 6th together." Ethan said, motioning down the hall. "Come on, I'll show you around."

"Thanks." (Y/N) gave him a small smile, following him. His gaze flickered from student to student. Some glanced at him, knowing he was new. (Y/N) didn't like attention. He didn't like the spotlight. He hated when people stared or payed too much attention to him. He hated the way a pit formed in his stomach and he became nauseous when he was called on and people stared at him in class. (Y/N) entered the class, taking a seat beside Ethan and sighing softly.

"Thanks, by the way. I didn't expect to make a friend until like my second week here."

"No problem. I know it can feel shitty to be the new kid." (Y/N) gave Ethan a small smile, looking forward.

(Y/N) set down his lunch tray, sitting down across from Ethan. He glanced around the courtyard, picking up a french fry. Ethan finished drinking his water, humming softly.

"By the way, whatever you do, don't mess with Maddy Perez." Ethan said, wiping his mouth with his sleeve. (Y/N) furrowed his brows.

"Right, you don't know them." Ethan chuckled, turning his head. He looked around, searching for the girls.

"There, the girl with black hair besides the blonde and the girl in a jeresy." Ethan motioned towards them. Maddy seemed like your typical popular. Makeup done perfectly, perfect body, her hair was done perfectly.

"She's a cheerleader and probably the most popular girl in school. She's been with Nate Jacobs for a while. Nate is a football player and his dad has a lot of power. He's.. Terrifying. The girls beside her are her best friends. Cassie and Barbara." Ethan picked up his burger. "There's Kat too and Kat is.."

"Your crush?" (Y/N) cocked a brow, chuckling. Ethan's tone had changed the moment this 'Kat' girl had been mentioned. His eyes had softened and a smile had appeared on his face.

"U-Uhm, n-no. She's a friend, like, just a friend." Ethan gave a nervous fake smile. (Y/N) hummed, shaking his head as he chuckled softly. He looked down at his tray, poking at the wrapped burger.

"Anyways, Cassie's nudes and some videos of her got leaked by her exes. It was real shitty." Ethan told him, finishing his burger. "There's Rue and Jules. Rue overdosed over the summer and Jules is new here."

"What?" (Y/N) furrowed his brows, staring at Ethan. The biggest thing that ever happened at his school was two teachers fighting. Drugs were an issue everywhere. He just didn't expect a teenger to OD and everyone to know. Ethan looked back at him.

"Do you wanna.. Hang out?"

"I have to unpack." (Y/N) replied, picking up his phone and scrolling through his instagram.

"Oh, shit, that's the new kid." Barbara pointed out, pulling her hair back into a ponytail. Cassie and Maddy turned to look.

"Oh.. Where's he from?" Cassie asked as she twirled a strand of her blonde hair around her finger. She wanted to forget all about McKay after their argument and breakup. The new boy seemed like a good distraction.

"He seems sweet." Cassie said with a small smile. Maddy scoffed, rolling her eyes as she looked at her.

"That's what you say about every guy, Cassie." Maddy opened her backpack, taking out her makeup bag. She took out some gloss, turning when she spotted Nate. She scowled when Nate very obviously flirted with some girl. Maddy took in a deep breath, turning toward her friends.

"Is there a party tonight? I need to fuck with Nate. He's such a dick." Maddy tapped her nails against her phone case. Cassie gave her a comforting smile, shaking her head.

"You can come over and we'll have a photo shoot. You can post it and make him regret everything." Cassie grinned as Maddy's eyes lit up, nodding.

"This is why I love you, Cass." The two giggled as Maddy wrapped her arms around her.

"But, back to that new guy.. If he hangs with Ethan, he's probably a loser." Barbara said, watching the two boys. Cassie gasped softly, shooting her a look.

"BB! Ethan's actually a really sweet guy. We did a project together last year." Cassie said. Maddy nodded, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Yeah, BB, don't be a bitch. You do got a point though. He gives major school shooter vibes." Maddy said, leaning forward to look around Cassie. She watched as the two stood and threw away their trash.

"Hey, they're staring at you." Ethan said, nudging (Y/N). (Y/N) turned towards the girls, catching their eyes before he shrugged and turned away.

"Let's go to History."

Hybrid!AU Wolf!Bakugou Katsuki HCs Part 2.

Summary: Part 2 is here! While in part 1 it was mostly adoption and how he'd behave with you as a roommate, part two is him ✨ realizing things ✨ followed by how he'd be in a romantic relationship.

Word Count: 2k words [ oops, I did it again ]

Notes: So I said it'll be out in a few days but three [3] people asked me for part 2 and I'm a sucker soooooooo!! I could've just written a long ass fic but whatever, I thought I'd make it shorter in headcanons... hah lol right. Enjoy!

Part 1 here!

× he's a wild wolf so he's very active; like you need to understand he needs to go outside if not he'd get impatient, more aggressive, snappy, so once you took him on an easy hiking trail near your house and he loved it so once or twice a month you both go together to different places [ he demands it ]

× it's hard to keep up with him bc he's literally genetically engineered to be better than any very fit human being but he slows down for you

× morning runs at 5 a.m. bc he's insane

× is also a grandpa

× watched all documentaries on any streaming platform you could provide to him, also loves reading

× as months pass and you start to have your routine in order, word comes to you that an acquaintance is looking for a security guard at his mechanical shop two streets away from your house

× you casually mentioned it to Bakugou because he was starting to act anxious whenever you'd leave the house, so you assumed he was extra bored

× seriously, the house was spotlessly cleaned, he cooked amazingly and was occupied with your old laptop and going around the city to explore, but you guessed he wanted more independence?

× little did you know you were right but so wrong lol

× so Bakugou stared at you intensely and asked "Where?"

× it was as easy as telling him the location, him nodding and you thought he'd consider it; you didn't put any pressure on him because he already did so much to help around anyway

× well guess what bitch, next day he comes up to you saying you gotta co-sign his contract [cuz fuck society] meaning he got the job

× he was perfect for it because tall, intimidating, muscular wolf guy? who'd even mess with him? do they have a death wish?

× well, even before this he started to be... soft

× but once you really did show him you support whatever he wants to do, you give him his freedom and liberty of choice, he just reaaally changes, man

× he gets touchy, like his hands stay one second longer on your skin, he uses any excuse to have them on you, even his eyes follow you everywhere

× like c'mon, it's obvious but you didn't wanna put too much thought into it because we're respectful here

× not like you had a big fat crush on him and slowly started to realize it too

× sike bitch he knows

× you think his super-hearing didn't catch the way your heartbeat spikes up every single time he touches you? *please*

× i think he knows before you know

× meanwhile he is working to discover his feelings too

× so your relationship slowly turns into a couple's like relationship but without anything official and of course no kissing or such [ sadly ]

× would get jealous easily

× basically because nothing is talked between you two and deep down is insecure

× why the hell do you smell like other people? was it just a hug or something else? hell, why would you even hug people when he's right there??? just ask and don't touch some extras????

× another thing he does is getting very close to you while you talk to somebody else; scoffs and glares at them too

× ok so!! gifts! he really appreciates any gift you give him but scolds you if you do because you genuinely don't need to do that

× of course he just scolds you and calls you an idiot so I do hope you already learned his language

× it basically means that you shouldn't have done it, he's really grateful but seriously you shouldn't have

× like that one time you saved up money to get him a good computer and he forgot how to speak for like an hour

× the softest thank you ever afterwards

× still sounded rough but he was shocked as fuck

× one thing that remained in your brain were his friends, as sometimes he'd mention them

× so you took it upon yourself to find them, of course with his permission

× gets genuinely overwhelmed and plays it off saying he wouldn't mind knowing where those idiots ended but you didn't miss the way his voice trembled

× for you to find them you needed names and any information he could provide so that's when he, after a long silence and a mesmerized look on his face, started really talking about his life

× which was fucked; won't get much into detail but he was indeed in a fighting ring, people came and bet on whoever was stronger, he even had to fight his friends, everything was filled with abuse and their conditions were subhuman...

× just overall awful

× you couldn't help but hug him tight, feeling him shake in your arms

× with a hesitant voice he asked if you really did think there was a chance to find them

× just couldn't believe how amazing he felt in your arms

× or how your determination that night made his heart clench and took a big weight off his shoulders

× anywho;;;; after his first paycheck he takes you out on cute dates

× never calls them that, just demands you dress up [helps you out cuz boy got style] and takes you to a nice coffee shop or something

× AND on your fifth not date cuz you're not official but there's this weird tension between you date he finally kinda s n a p s

× you honestly didn't expect the waiter to flirt with you, he came out as very pushy and even if you were a lil uncomfortable you smiled and brushed it off

× when the waiter suggested giving you his number the sandy blond hybrid growled

× which i shit you not made the whole coffee shop freeze

× and you froze too

× but neither of you could say anything because the oblivious fuck kept talking

× basically joking about how you should keep your pet in a leash, to which you got up, threw some money on the table, grabbed Bakugou by the hand and leave before he'd rip someone's head off

× it only took you to touch Bakugou's arm to calm him down as he followed behind you wordlessly

× so you stood outside, angry, deep red eyes on your figure

× and silence

× his hand still in yours

× it was warm and amazing and you felt angry but your heart was beating loudly; angry at the waiter that you wanted to go full Karen on and get fired but excited because that growl shook you to the core, as if you could tell it was territorial and it was because of that pig flirting with you and did Bakugou Katsuki just lace his fingers with you?!

× "Oi." he interrupted your thoughts

× he turned your frame towards him and pulled you [kinda harshly] into him

× you'd make a comment about it but brain empty, just Bakugou Katsuki blushing

× "You're mine, you get it?"

× skdjflglykshs

× it sounded like he asked but it was a demand so oops you're his now ok bye

× like I said, boy isn't dumb so he lowkey knew you felt something too

× legit from there on he's just soft as fuck

× has a hard time opening up but visibly tries for you

× still continues to be a pain in the ass, Bakugou Style, but with a loving teasing attitude behind it

× his eyes give him away all the time

× they shine whenever you're in his field of view so congrats because, and this is the best part:

× WOLVES MATE FOREVER 💕💓💞💗💝💟

× oh yeah, he's yours, no takebacks

× he isn't one to half-ass the relationship; you're his now and he'll do anything for you

× big time touch starved it hurts

× because he is shy

× so whenever you introduce him to hand holding and cuddles, he can't get enough

× not big on PDA [ and not recommended since human-hybrid relationships are kiiiinda frowned upon but it's getting better ]

× although at home it's another deal

× seriously cuddle him; he's big into the protector vibe so he's a big spoon almost exclusively unless it's to sleep on top of you

× speaking of! accept that even if your relationship isn't that intimate, he'd still hint about sleeping together in the same bed

× so you better catch on when he does because he'll just click his tongue and call you needy

× while dragging you to bed

× sleeps holding you, his nose in your hair or in the crook of your neck

× unless it's summer then stay on your side 💅

× you know those kisses that just scream "I can't get enough of you"? that's his whole kissing vibe in a sentence

× hell, even the gentlest kiss gives that vibe away and it'll 100% leave you breathless

× doesn't have experience but is a very fast learner

× pays very close attention to your body language

× really into biting your skin enough to leave marks

× wear his hoodies

× no, I'm fucking serious, wear them now

× his chest puffs and he turns into a blushing mess when you do it the first times because his scent is on you

× scenting is a big thing for him so of course he's gonna love it

× 10x more territorial because now he has a mate to protect

× jealous but trusts you

× still very jealous though

× let's all pretend he is definitely not scenting you before you go out because it's in his nature and it is embarrassing

× the first time he tells you he loves you it's when he's feeling vulnerable

× the search for his friends is still on-going, he feels less than adequate as a providing mate, is pissed at the world for treating him like an inferior animal when they created him, everything is piled on his shoulders and whenever than happens he closes off

× you notice immediately

× will not tell you at first

× it's only when you go to bed and he turns his back to you when you really know it's bad

× even if you fought before, he'd angrily snuggle you at night-time

× now it's so different

× hug him, whisper sweet nothings in his ear, pull a blanket all over you both and big spoon him, he'd start shaking and talking in no time

× will hide his tears from you but you'd know

× "You're the best fucking thing that happened to me, [Y/N]... I—... Shit... I love you so much."

× neither of you slept that night

× excuse you? drink some water and pray to jesus;;; you talked about feelings, ok? communication is key in a relationship, puh-lease

× [ i have this whole nsfw hcs post already cookin in my brain so maybe I'll make it happen cuz y'all know he has a mating season and all that comes with it 👀 ]

× back to being children of jesus here

× thanks the moon, the heavens and all the gods for putting you in his life; boy didn't believe in destiny but deep down he thinks you were meant to be

× you still better wash the dishes or you'll get your ass kicked.

Extra:

× you did find some of his friends, little by little, and even if he acted nonchalant, like k das cool, it was obvious he was extremely happy

× so they did get adopted too

× you got in contact with them on social media and they were all very excited about meeting

× so it was a chaotic meeting with a dog hybrid called Kirishima and a mouse like vibrat yellow guy called Kaminari

× they all were looking for Bakugou too since they were very worried about where he ended

× Kirishima shed manly tears when seeing Bakugou

× as they instantly welcomed you in their small group, they informed you both that the majority of the squad was adopted and they're in contact, while they're still actively looking for the others

× cue to the softest expression you've seen on Bakugou in public followed by "That's good"

× silence

× shock and silence

× Kaminari turning to you and whispering "You did this" with a hand on his heart, lips trembling as he wiped an imaginary tear

× insert instantly snappy Bakugou

× when everyone laughed and continued to make plans to meet up with the others, he just looked at you conversing with them, soft expression again on his features and his chest warming

× "Oh! Look, he's doing it again! Quick, take a pictur—"

× "SHINE!"
