Backroom - Na Jaemin

Genre : smut in a work office, cocky Jaemin and pissed off manager Renjun

Pairing : Na Jaemin x reader

Word count : 1,8k

The title is pretty self explanatory... Hope you all like it! Feedback is always appreciated:)

Sitting on a stool next to a cash register, you tried resisting the urge of grabbing your cellphone to scroll aimlessly on Instagram.

Your shift halfway done, the seconds were passing at an excruciatingly slow pace. The store was desert, except for one tenacious client that kept clinging onto your coworker, Jaemin. You rolled your eyes. As if she was here to buy anything

"Oh yeah, those shoes fit you amazingly. You look good in them." The boy complimented with a cheeky smile. Hearing endearing compliment or even suggestive comments coming from the charming worker wasn't that unusual. Usually, he only had to smile and wink, and his sales doubled.

"Really?" She batted her eyelashes while pushing her hair back, her lips tugging upwards.

You had to hold back your vomit as Jaemin flirted shamelessly with a client, while you sat behind the register. You ignored if he was aware that she probably wasn't here to make a purchase, but more to eye fuck him. Shaking your head, you couldn't help but be annoyed. Oh, how he would do anything to have good sales.

"Mmmh, but you know what?" He approached her, his voice lowering. "I think you'd look better with them off. Plus maybe a couple of other items of clothing." Upon hearing his words, your mouth fell open. What the hell was this? For a second you wondered if you were at a shoe store, and not on a set, shooting a shitty porn intro. You couldn't grasp the concept of someone being as cocky as your coworker.

The girl became a flush mess, blabbering back an answer that you couldn't quite hear. You huffed, crossing your arms, before advertising your gaze towards the clock on the wall next to you. Only 4 hours left. This was going to be easy. Only a couple hours more to endure Jaemin being ogled by girls. God, usually he would serve the client, no fuss or funny business added, but you guessed the lack of aircon in the store had affected his brain in a more damaging way than you had thought.

The pair were now giggling like school girls while whispering in each other's ears. You tried concentrating on the ticking object reminding you that you wouldn't have to deal with them in a few hours, but your mind kept getting interrupted by their laughs.

You didn't know what was more aggravating; the girl playfully punching Jaemin, or the fact that he was leading her own. What did she have that you didn't? You had always been respectful and thoughtful with the boy, sometimes offering to switch your shifts with his to his advantage. The conversation flowed naturally between the two of you and you had a few points in common. You also didn't consider yourself to be unattractive, so what was missing? Why weren't you the girl at the receiving end of Jaemin's sultry comments?

Oh no. You were getting lost in your thoughts again.

Damn this store for its annoying customers and its hot weather. And its hot male employees.

"(Y/n)!" Your other coworker Renjun screamed, walking through the rack of pumps with shoeboxes under his arms. "You're up for a break." You peaked up at the mention of a chance to get away from the cringy scene unfolding right under your nose.

"You're such a savior Jun, thank you." You got up, flattening your work vest.

"Yeah yeah... You have fifteen minutes. One more minute and you can be sure it'll be off your paycheck." The brown-haired boy joked.

"Legally I've got thirty minutes, you punk."

"I dare you to call your manager a punk once again." You rolled your eyes, flipping off the boy, who also happened to be your best friend.

"Bite me." You said teasingly. He laughed approaching you so that no one else could hear what he was about to say.

"I feel like mister googly eyes over there wouldn't say no to that offer." Your attention shifted to what he was referring to, your eyes locking with Jaemin's. You saw his jaw clenching, his eyes shooting daggers at Renjun's back. A nervous laugh escaped your mouth.

"Shut up, I'll be back in fifteen." You almost ran into a shoe rack trying to get to the back, your attention glued to the floor. In no way, you wanted to lock eyes with Jaemin again. You hid in the office, afraid to face anyone with red fiery cheeks. It might be best if you spent the rest of your shift away from prying eyes. You could try convincing Renjun to let you organize the rest of the inventory, but you were afraid that he'd find it too suspicious since you hated organizing boxes with a passion. You had to try, even if he wouldn't buy it.

Just as you were about to exit the office, the door flung open, revealing a fidgety looking Jaemin.

"Oh- Hm, (y/n), hey, I was looking for a specific pair..." His teeth bit his bottom lip. You held your breath, his body way too close to you then necessary but none of you took a step back. If anything, you wanted to be even closer.

"Bullshit, why would you be looking for shoes in the office." That had seemed to shut him off. You had just caught him in a lie.

"I saw you talking with Renjun."

"Okay, and?"

"Well, you two seemed pretty touchy... I just wanted to get on with the gossip, that's all." He smirked. You couldn't believe him.

"Funny coming from the guy that was practically making a girl drool over him on the job." You pocked at finger at his chest accusingly. Jaemin clicked his tongue, annoyed.

"At least I'm not flirting with the manager to get a raise." He shot back.

"I can't believe you, he's my best friend."

"Maybe you should tell him then. He doesn't seem very aware that you're only friends." He continued. You scoffed, taken aback. You had no idea what kind of spirit was possessing him right now. You wondered where he had gotten the balls to speak to you like that.

"You should get back to work, I'd like to enjoy the ten minutes left to my break. Thanks." As you were about to push him away, his hands grabbed your upper arms, enabling you to touch him.

"Either I come in for the next ten minutes or I leave and we never talk about this encounter again." He stared at you with a straight face. You hated yourself for even considering his offer, but you had to think about it in a rational way. He had just given you the easiest dilemma ever. You were going to tell him to leave, and then everything would be back to normal. Easy.

"Okay, but we have to be quick. Lock the door behind you." Jaemin's smirked again, pushing you in and closing the door. Not even a second later, his hands were all over you, as well as his lips. You sighed as his fingers slipped under your shirt, his touch hot against your cold skin. His fingertips digging into your flesh, he pulled you flush to his body.

"Couch." He directed. You both made your way to the shitty leather couch in the corner of the room, his lips not leaving your neck. You laid down on the torn fabric sofa. It's box springs dug into your back, but it would have to do for now. Jaemin joined you on the couch, his body hovering over yours. You eagerly pushed your lips to his, earning a grunt from him.

"Can I take your belt off?" You asked, your hands already playing with the hem of his pants.

"Fuck, I'm not the one who's going to stop you." You smiled, unbuckling his belt and pulling his pants down. Your hand sliding under his boxer, you palmed his growing member.

"Shit," He let out, eyes squeezed shut. You squeezed his shaft, starting to slowly move your wrist up and down. "I can't believe we're doing this at work." You giggled as he tried to suppress his moans. You sped up your movements while kissing his jawline, occasionally biting a specific spot on his neck that made him squirm.

"You're so sensitive," You teased. "Cute." His eyes shot open, an eyebrow quirked up. One of his hands left your waist to lightly touch your crotch, earning a desperate whimper from you.

"And I'm the sensitive one. Tsk, tsk, tsk." He continued groping you, while you sloppily tried to finish your job. You suddenly felt his fingers sneak beneath your shorts, his fingers coming in contact with you pulsing heath. "Let's try not to make a mess, mh?" You nodded quickly before you felt one of his digits entering you.

For the next minutes, moans and swears resonated through the office, only adding to the steam of the action. Jaemin's head was pressed into your neck, his hair sticking out in every direction possible while you whined, his thumb doing wonders on your clit. You felt his member twitch in your hold. The both of you were about to come until an urgent pounding came from the door.

"Open this door, right now!" Renjun's voice was loud enough for the two of you to automatically jump up. You tried taming your hair while Jaemin almost fell pulling his pants up. Running to the door, the sweaty boy followed in on your footsteps. You both tried to look as normal as possible, not wanting to face your manager looking like you just went at it in the break room. You took a deep breath before unlocking the door and opening it quickly.

Renjun's suspicious stare stayed on you before giving Jaemin an up and down. Looking next to you, the tall boy was finishing buckling his belt, a shit-eating grin on his face. You gasped when you saw all the hickeys that had just appeared on his neck.

"You guys are fucking disgusting." the brown-haired boy snarled with a face of disgust. You were mortified that your best friend AND manager had just caught you red-handed.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry-" You went to put your hand on his shoulder but he quickly dodged it.

"I don't care- just, don't touch me until you wash your hands," Jaemin laughed at that. "and for your information, I hope you're aware that there are cameras all over the store. Including the office. So next time, please spare me the horrifying vision of the both of you hooking up on the couch I eat my lunch on." You burned in embarrassment as Renjun left to go attend to some clients as if this was the most normal situation ever.

"You heard that, (Y/n)? He was hinting to a next time."

"Shut up."

Never Have I Ever Season 2 is chaotic, and not in a fun way

It was announced earlier this month that Netflix’s Never Have I Ever just got renewed for a third season, which reminded me I never compiled my notes on season two. I guess I wasn’t really even in a rush because how do you even begin to organize writing a review for a show as disorganized as this one. With its mostly flat writing and directionless character development, if you could even call it, I kept waiting for the series to make sense. At least enough to determine if it was better or worse than Season 1, which I also reviewed and can be read here.

Season 2 left me feeling confused and wondering why it even existed as the plot barely moved forward despite all of the hype surrounding the renewal of the series, which originally aired just over a year ago in 2020.

The following are my thoughts on each sloppy and ultimately narratively wasteful episode.

Episode 1:

If it wasn’t obvious, and even though it has been stated that this show is apparently based off Mindy Kaling’s high school experience, it definitely comes across more like a fantasy, a daydream, a severely embellished representation. I also started to notice that the character of Devi Vishwakumar has similar mannerisms to another one of Mindy Kaling’s characters, Mindy Lahiri, played by herself in The Mindy Project. Whether Devi is directed to be or inspired by a young Mindy Kaling/Lahiri is uncertain, but the similarity in humor, demeanor, self-obsession, and (white) boy-craziness syncs up.

The usual cringiness has returned with Indian stereotypes (the mom being cheap is severely overdone) fan fiction vibes, horrible styling, and DIsney Channel style over-acting, particularly Ramona Young’s portrayal of Eleanor Wong, which is such an effective caricature of the high school theatre kid that it gives me secondhand embarrassment for the actress having to play this person. Similarly, Mr. Shapiro, the overly woke history teacher, continues to present himself as a walking meme of the American Neoliberal, from the pink pussy hat to the “If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention” shirt.

The confusion begins fairly quickly into the season. Why would Paxton ever be nervous and at a loss for words in front of Devi’s house, where he has waited for hours, if there were other more intimate moments in Season 1 that may have implied he had feelings for Devi? Why do the extras who play sophomores in high school look 30+ years old? The casting team can clearly find better choices if they cast 30-year-old Darren Barnet to play 16-year-old Paxton Hall-Yoshida. Wasn’t Devi’s self-centeredness the cause of nearly losing her friends in Season 1? Why is it being re-used as a central conflict immediately into Season 2? I’m pretty sure she even recycles the line when her friends, Fabiola and Eleanor, are talking, “Guys, who cares? I have bigger news.” I don’t expect major growth from a 15-year-old with a lot of baggage overnight, which is the time frame between the two seasons, but Devi is so far from being an endearing main character, that I was both surprised and disappointed that the writers kept giving this annoying trait of hers so much focus.

There were some noteworthy exceptions to my unsurprising grumpiness after watching this episode. I appreciate tennis legend John McEnroe’s return as Devi’s sardonic narrator; I think he has a great voice for it. Trent Harrison, played by Benjamin Norris, is probably the only source of actual, well-timed comedy, and Ben Gross, played by Jaren Lewison, is likable despite the things that make him pretentious and annoying. It seems like the female creators of the show know how to write funny white, often times Jewish men and almost nothing else.

Some new characters also join the cast to shake life up a little for Devi’s mom, Nalini (played by Poorna Jagannathan) and her cousin, Kamala (played by Richa Moorjani). We get Common, a rival dermatologist who gets on Nalini’s nerves, and Evan, the head research assistant at Caltech who subjects Kamala to sexism with his chauvinistic tone and tasks. Kamala’s boyfriend, Prashant, who is introduced in Season 1, offers advice to Kamala about how to navigate Evan’s unfair treatment, and his supportive nature reveals itself to be something else as the season goes on. I actually found this to be interesting and worth following because Prashant represents how Indian immigrants, particularly women, are expected to respond to discrimination, in order to move forward in the professional world.

Episode 2:

Relying on the age-old triple and laziest plot device in teen movies, this episode entails Devi throwing a party while her mom is out of town. A comment is made by one of the popular mean girls that takes note of how yellow and strange Devi’s house is, and it made me think about how practically all Western fictional media needs to throw a turmeric filter over scenes where the audience absolutely needs to know that Indians live in this world. Because there is no other way to show that, apparently.

I should say, though, if I haven’t before, that the therapist is probably one of the best written characters. She drops a lot of wisdom and acts as the voice of reason, which is a given with her role and relationship to Devi.

Episode 3:

Paxton is finally given some dimension, though this episode acts as a filler more than anything, with the plot stagnating (and this is not the first time the plot does that). He is rightfully upset about what happens with Stanford (I’m doing my best to avoid spoilers, but be warned) and being cheated on by the weirdest girl he ever liked with a nerd. On top of that, we finally see the impact of everyone around Paxton having low expectations for him. From there, the show starts approaching more realistic aspects of being in high school demonstrated by Paxton’s responses to his test/performance anxiety.

Episode 4:

This episode is dedicated to Devi attempting to smooth things over with Paxton and then Ben, something she does over and over and over again in this season. A refreshing new character is introduced in the form of Aneesa Qureshi, a transfer student at Sherman Oaks High. She is confident, charismatic, and kind. One of my favourite lines in the show appears in this episode, as Devi realizes she is not disliked because of casual racism. It’s because she does not possess likeable traits. “This new kid is proving she’s objectively lame”.

Something important begins to be explored here, and that is the subconscious competition that Indian girls, particularly in their teen years, are entered in, one that pits them against anyone smarter, thinner, or conventionally prettier than them. I’m actually really glad this is shown, the wild insecurity that takes over that only prevents Devi from making a cool new friend and further isolates herself from her culture because she thinks that’s what will make her gain social capital. That is a very real flaming hoop South Asian girls are expected to jump through by perceiving each other as threats and not companions with shared experiences or backgrounds. Other brown girls can only be your frenemy, at best.

Shapiro mixing up the only two Indian students was meant to be funny, but if you’re Indian, you know how much it actually stings that you are deemed so insignificant, so much of a monolith that your name being botched is to be expected. Some of the most self aware and possibly self referential Mindy Kaling writing occurs in a conversation between Devi and Eleanor regarding Devi’s “self-hating Indian vibes”. She has no friends who are Indian, and feels like she can call out Eleanor for not having Chinese friends, but she is so self absorbed that she does not even know how false that statement is.

Moving on to some of the supporting male characters, another new character is introduced, Mannish Kulkarni, Devi’s favourite teacher played by Utkarsh Ambudkhar. You may have seen him in Pitch Perfect, Brittany Runs a Marathon, and The Broken Hearts Gallery. He has also played Mindy Lahiri’s younger brother in The Mindy Project. He is deemed the “cool” teacher, but I think he just lacks boundaries and swears too often in front of students. He even flirts with Kamala in front of Devi when she drops off her lunch, and there is some foreshadowing that he might pose a threat to her relationship with Prashant.

And Prashant is revealing some red flags as he continues to make excuses for misogynistic men in the workplace and encourages Kamala to keep her head down, which is typical Indian male thinking. Don’t make a fuss, don’t appear difficult to work with. All that nonsense packaged as politeness and concern.

And lastly, there’s Malcolm. He’s very unlikeable. I would 100% endorse bullying him. I’m Team Oliver and find Eleanor to be unnecessarily mean to him and she loses major points (not that she had a whole lot to begin with) for her actions regarding Oliver and Malcolm.

Episode 5:

The messiness is building, and my review/notes will reflect that because I begin to lose track of and interest in the plot. Devi’s alarming approaches to stress reveal how trauma can demand to be acknowledged in a psychosomatic, physiological ways. Grief and resentment can come out in ugly ways, and negative feelings are not harmless, even when not intentionally acted upon. It was a good lesson to include in the season, but every time I find a nugget of goodness, something worse squashes its impact.

I’m talking about the completely unnecessary shirtless woodworking scene that really just makes me wonder if the writers of the show share the traits of pedophiles or predators. Why are we sexualizing a 16 year old boy so intensely? And why do you think it’s okay because you cast a man twice that age to portray him? Would you have done that if this was an age-appropriate casting?

And the extremely contrived Gen Z dialogue about criticisms regarding patriarchy, heteronormativity, and feminism makes me think the writers just took buzz words from a few TikToks, Tweets, and dare I say, even Tumblr posts and thought, “Yeah, this is how modern teenagers talk.” It’s not. Maybe that was satire, but the writing is generally so bad, it’s difficult to tell when it’s ironic.

Episode 6:

I was struggling so hard to make it past halfway through the season. Devi keeps revealing herself as an increasingly horrible person and main character. There is no redemption arc for this character, and at this point, if there is, she is making it less likely or deserved. I don’t think I have ever felt more disappointed in a main character before.

I’m beginning to think it would’ve made more sense to format this review in the form of hits and misses. I guess I can start that here with the midpoint of the season.

Hits

- seeing how seriously Kamala takes her career and education; the lengths she goes to in order to ensure she gets proper credit when getting published in an academic journal (which is a big deal) is warranted, and I am glad we see her stand up to Evan’s condescension and sexism

- trans casting! (Jasmine Davis plays Nalini’s assistant nurse and Alexandra Billings plays the college counselor, Ms. Warren)

- Nalini’s outfits are fire

- Sasha, Eve’s snarky queer Black friend who is critical of Fabiola (and deserved more screen time than any recurring character)

- the rage issues explored in a lead that is such a flawed underdog is new and bold but not well executed with Devi

Misses

- Jonah’s character is essentially a tacky gossipy gay Twitter account, and I’m really sad he wasn’t developed beyond such a caricature

- Aneesa’s background story of her disorder prompting a confession that is mostly excuses and justifications, as Devi kicks off another leg of her massive apology tour which got boring in Season 1

One of my favourite scenes was actually when Devi got suspended and her wretched behaviour actually earns her consequences (but she still continues to be shitty after that and learns next to nothing. This girl is exhausting.)

Episode 7:

The styling and dialogue is so bad that actors who actually are 19-22 come across like cringey 35+ year olds. I mean, the fact that “no doy” is said in earnest more than once...come on.

Episode 8:

Yikes, Malcolm is red flag after red flag, exemplifying unhealthy controlling teen relationships.

Again, Sasha should have had more screen time.

And Paxton says to Devi, summarizing the show really, “Seems like you’re in a fight with lots of people.”

My review is devolving...I’m struggling to get to the finish line. I don’t even want to do complete sentences anymore, y’all.

Episode 9:

- is the vishwakumar house really just a world market pop up because that’s what it looks like

- manipulative malcolm, projection - he seriously sucks

- prashant presenting himself as unsupportive passive keep your head down kind of indian boooooo

- nice to delve into paxton’s heritage and the japanese internment camps of ww2

- does capture the messiness of grief both from a mom trying to keep it together and a teenager who has emotional flares shooting out of her in every direction

- shutting down because everyone thinks she’s crazy would’ve been interesting to explore more

- ojichan internment camp

- dr. ryan <333

- nirmala’s response to nalini dating came as a shocker, i would lose it too

- this truly is fiction if it’s raining that hard in sherman oaks

- sneaking in through the window, soaking wet - more horny writing

- i understand the connection that paxton has to devi for making him feel empowered and capable - the back and forth of this couple is not worth keeping up with

- this must be what made “Heat Waves” by Glass Animals pop up everywhere

Episode 10:

- mixed messages from paxton, not exciting enough to follow

- devi continues to cut off everything her friends are occupied with her own boy bullshit

- i guess it is a sign of growth to not settle for being a sneaky link

- but if riverdale and its cringey writing can go on for as long as it did, why am i being so hard on never have i ever

- but maybe i don’t want to measure this by the same shitty bar

- jonah’s lines “i’m ubiquitous, henny” and “sister”...appropriation of AAVE from another white gay is a big no from me

- “my hearing aids have been specifically tuned to eavesdrop” is a funny line though

I don’t recommend it. Usually, I can power through a show. I can write something more in depth and check my own biases, which I did try to do, but Season 2 was painful and bad. Do I want to be hopeful about Season 3? Naively, yeah. Am I willing to trudge through another ten episodes of nonsense and cyclical characterization...no.

Obvious And Oblivious

Fandom: Star Wars

Characters: Leia Organa, Poe Dameron

Summary: Leia is out to kill him, or so Poe reckons as she tells him he’s being obvious about wanting to get tickled.

A/N: I told @heartsywritesthethings that I love the idea of Leia just Knowing that Poe craves tickles and she called it mean so of course I had to write it.

Words: 636

Poe didn’t like the look Leia was sporting, all knowing smugness disguised in a thin-lipped smile, directed at him.

It never boded well, that look.

“What?” he asked, a tad defensive, a tad wary. Knowing this wouldn’t result in a scolding, but probably in embarrassment. She knew him too well, sometimes eerily well, and he was racking his brain to think of every cringy thing he’d done that past week. There were probably many, some of which only she of all people would notice. She’d never said so outright, but she enjoyed flustering him just because she was the only one who ever could.

“Nothing,” she was saying now. “Just thinking.”

“Of?”

“You.”

Of course. “Me? What did I do? What have you seen?” The last question uttered in dread, making her laugh. At least that was something only he could do.

“It’s not so bad.”

“But?”

“It’s a bit funny how obvious and oblivious you can be at the same time.”

“I don’t follow.”

She patted the space next to her. “Sit down.”

He did as he was told. “Will this be painful?”

“It depends. I think it will probably embarrass you.”

Poe rolled his eyes. “And you’d never do that on purpose, of course.”

“Oh, never.” Her grin was lethal. “I saw you with Finn. And Rey. And Jess.”

“I truly don’t follow.”

“I could see how desperately you wanted them to do it.”

Oh no.

“How you didn’t want to say it, but you were doing everything in your power to get them do it.”

Oh no.

“Please no,” he said aloud when Leia paused to see his reaction. “Don’t say it. I’ll die. You’ll have my death on your hands.”

“Do you know what I mean?”

Of course he did. Of course he did. “Oh, no. You’re not tricking me into revealing it myself.”

She laughed again, as if Poe’s entire life wasn’t in her hands. “You’re being dramatic as usual, Poe.”

He slumped beside her, torn between running and staying, fleeing and damage controlling. “How could you tell?”

“You’re not very subtle.”

“I mean… originally? How do you know it’s… that?”

“Tickling?” she asked, too nonchalantly, making Poe nearly scream from embarrassment. “Oh, that was easy. You always enjoyed engaging in tickle fights as a boy, and I could tell it made you feel safe. I know you crave it in your closest relationships, and-” She paused, hand caressing his probably bright red cheek. “I know you haven’t experienced it much recently, what with times being rough. I like watching you interact with them. Your friends. I just happened to notice your old little provocations slipping out.”

“Which are?” he asked, face ablaze, but wanting to know anyway.

“You become very… affectionate. And playful. And you tease. Oh, you tease them so much just for the off chance that they will poke you. It’s almost endearing.”

“Why almost?”

“It doesn’t compare to how you look when they do poke you. You practically light up. All glee. I can’t call your provoking self endearing when I have seen that.”

“You aim to kill me, don’t you?”

“No.” Her smile softened. “I just want to remind you that it’s okay. And that I think they got the memo.”

“All of them?”

“Well, some of them. I’m sure they will tickle you more from now on.”

“Did you tell them something?”

“I didn’t have to.” She gave his knee a squeeze, just to be mean. “Your actions spoke louder than my words ever could.”

Poe would be blushing into next week, but at least she was right. At least, he thought as Finn and Rey and occasionally even Jess reached for his sweet spots several times throughout the day, she was right about one thing.

He truly was obvious and oblivious all at once.

Topeka Calling

Summary: Cas has caller ID. That hunter from Topeka has an itch. Dean just wants a refill.

Words: 804

Tags/warnings: NSFW. Crack fic. Awkward phone sex. Language. Horrible metaphors. Oblivious!Cas. Embarrassed!Dean. Cackle-and-cringe. Peanut butter and jelly (@castiel-bingo). Garfield.

A/N: for @stusbunker’s Bad Smut Sprint! Prompt was “wrong number!” It turns out, this was WAY harder than anticipated, up until I figured hey, if you wanna write cringy smut, just keep Cas in character and throw in some atrocious dirty talk for good measure. I hope this works… *crosses fingers*

###

Cas was reading the Sunday newspaper, a routine he began during his time as a human. Politics, finance, and travel were all relatively fascinating, but he had grown fond of the comics. Simple-minded and foolish at first glance, they were oddly endearing, and the humor was surprisingly intelligent on occasion.

He found Garfield particularly amusing.

His grace was long since restored, along with his power, but he still read the comics. He sat in the bunker’s kitchen with the paper and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, enjoying the quaint ritual of things he loved as a human. It gave him perspective to remember how much the little things matter, and Dean was always telling him to relax and get the stick out of his ass.

Cas could never recall having any twigs or branches in his rear, but there was no point in telling Dean that.

He finished the first page and turned to the second, reaching for his sandwich, when his phone rang. He vaguely recognized the name accompanying the number–a hunter in Topeka who was near enough to be helpful when necessary, though Cas had only met her twice. He answered it with a brief “Hello?”

“Hey.” Her voice was soft and breathy, barely a whisper over the line. He didn’t remember her sounding that sultry, but he had only met her twice. “I’ve been thinking about you.”

“Oh,” he replied, a little surprised. “Well, that’s–”

“I need you so bad.”

Cas went serious. “Is it a hunt?” he asked. “Do you need help?”

“Oh yeah, baby,” she said, the words more exhale than speech. “I need your help right now, you sexy thing.”

He paused, suddenly confused. “I admit, I can be useful, and I do have some sex appeal,” he said, “but–”

“I can’t stop thinking about that night,” she went on, “how unbelievably hot you were, how bad I wanted to rip all of your clothes off you…”

“That sounds like you were reacting to the adrenaline triggered by the hunt,” Cas replied. “Exhilaration, aggression, arousal–”

“I’m thinking about it right now,” she added, “while I’m touching myself.”

He frowned in thought. “Are you perhaps scratching your head?”

She laughed, but it didn’t sound like any laughter he was used to. It was low and throaty, somewhere between a chuckle and a giggle. “You’re so funny…”

He smiled to himself, pleased with the compliment. He did read the comics, after all.

She breathed a little heavier, a soft moan coming over the line, and he thought he heard a faint humming noise in the background, like an appliance was running. “I want you…I want your big, fat cock in my pussy…”

If he were prone to that sort of reaction, Cas would have dropped the phone. “I beg your pardon?”

“Oh, yeah, baby!” Her voice grew louder and more frantic until she was nearly shouting. “I want your juicy man sausage! I wanna bury it in my lady garden!”

“Are you talking about fornication or horticulture?”

“Run that by me again?”

Cas glanced up to see Dean entering the kitchen and heading for the coffee pot, an empty cup in hand and a look of utter stupefaction on his face. “I’m on the phone,” Cas told him. “It’s that hunter from Topeka. I believe she’s suggesting we have intercourse, but I don’t think I understand her metaphors.”

“What?”

“Pump it in me, Daddy!” came the shout through the phone. “Rail me until you explode!”

“There’s an odd noise in the background,” Cas added. “What could she have with her that makes a vibrating sound?”

“Oh my God, Cas…” Dean groaned, scrubbing a hand over his face while she continued to make passionate exclamations about scoring home runs with stiff wooden love bats.

“Dean, she’s talking nonsense, but…” Cas glanced down at his lap where, hidden by his slacks, his member stood half erect and was on its way to full attention. “I seem to be aroused by it, nonetheless.”

Dean gave him a scandalized look and threw his hands into the air. “That’s it,” he said, turning towards the hall, “I’m out of here.”

“GOD, YES, DEAN, FUCK ME!”

Both angel and human froze in place, momentarily stunned, then Cas spoke into the phone, “I think you have the wrong number.” He handed it to Dean. “It’s for you.”

Dean took the phone looking like a deer in the headlights, if Cas remembered the saying correctly. “Hello?” he asked, hesitant. “Yes, this is Dean…no, no, that was my buddy Cas. Trench coat? Kinda squinty? Stick up his ass?”

Cas rolled his eyes, then looked back at his lap and repeated to himself, “Juicy man sausage?” Then he shrugged and returned to his sandwich, reaching for the newspaper. He wondered what Garfield was up to this week…

Review - Spiderman: Far From Home

I saw this movie the day after it came out and I absolutely loved it. I’ll write the quick review here at the top if you haven’t seen it and don’t want any spoilers, then there will be a more in-depth look at the movie itself with a huge spoiler warning beforehand.

So first, if you haven’t seen it at whatever point in time you see my review, watch it. Obviously after watching Spiderman Homecoming first, duh, watch things in order. The movie takes place after Avengers: Endgame, so watch that and Infinity War first as well. Of course I recommend that you watch the entirety of everything Marvel has ever produced but that’s just me. As for this movie, once you understand everything that came before it, it really stands out. I love Tom Holland’s portrayal of a nerdy but endearing Peter Parker, and that portrayal has only continued to be my favorite in this movie. The story is well-written and small hints at the twists that come later leave you with an uneasy feeling and the need to see what happens next. In my personal opinion, this is one of the top Marvel movies ever, up there with Black Panther and Spiderman Homecoming.

SPOILER WARNING: CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN RISK OF SPOILERS

Now if you’re at this point, you’ve probably already seen the movie and are scrolling around just to see what others think of it. Clearly, I am a fan. So let me get into the reasons why.

1. The Characters.

As I said above, I love Tom Holland’s portrayal of Peter Parker. Toby Maguire’s Peter was nerdy, but his Spiderman just didn’t quite strike the right chord with me. Andrew Garfield’s Peter was a little nerdy, but he also seemed a little too cool at the same time, and his Spiderman was kind of a jerk instead of being funny. Not to mention neither actor looked like they were in high school at all. While Tom Holland is in his twenties, he looks the part and his Spiderman is both goofy and quippy and never stops talking, much like the comics. His Peter is nerdy and a little awkward, but that only makes him easier to relate to. (And yes, some of this probably has to do with the writing considering both Maguire and Garfield are very competent actors, but that’s another point).

Ned Leeds is, of course, a great character. He’s funny, supportive, and clearly very excited to be part of everything happening. Not to mention he is very smart. Come on, anyone who can hack Stark technology is someone I would even classify as a prodigy. Besides that, Ned is a great friend. While this movie doesn’t center on the friendship between Ned and Peter, the connection is still there, and really just shows that they each have their own goals and can still be friends while accomplishing them. Plus, these poor kids have been through a lot, given that so many of them were just gone for five years. Ned still manages to be happy and just a normal teenager, while still juggling his duties as “the man in the chair”. Honestly, can I just have Ned as a friend now please?

Now for one of my favorite characters. Michelle. Some people were a little disgruntled about the MJ reveal in Homecoming, but honestly why? Okay so she’s not a redhead, but it was a nice nod to the comics. Plus, you got Zendaya, why are you complaining? Anyway, MJ as a character was much more developed in this movie. The little glances between her and Peter throughout the entire first half are just adorable, and the fact that she figures out what Peter is hiding just makes me love her even more. She’s smart and she looks closely at what happens around her. Especially whatever is going on with Peter. And she immediately goes from finding out Peter is Spiderman to supporting him, and then she takes on a drone with a mace. I love this girl. And she’s sufficiently awkward around her crush without being too cringy.

Obviously Happy and Aunt May are great, and seeing Fury, Maria Hill, and the Skrulls was very enjoyable. But then we have Mysterio.

2. A Great Villain

Mysterio was the perfect villain for this. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what direction they were going to take his character, even knowing he was a villain going into the movie. He’s nice, supportive to Peter, and Jake Gyllenhaal just really has a face you want to trust. The story of being from another dimension makes sense, mostly because Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse is on Netflix and I love it, so I really didn’t question it that much. Not to mention that he doesn’t look at Peter like he’s weird for being so excited about the multiverse idea. He just seems like a really cool guy who you’d want to be friends with, and I was hoping my feeling of something being off was wrong up until the moment Peter moves out of sight after giving up the glasses. I also checked with a friend who is not so heavily versed in the comic books to be sure my feelings of something being off wasn’t just because I knew him from the comics, and she confirmed they weren’t.

3. The Ships

We have Ned and Betty, who are honestly kind of cute and maybe a little unnecessary, but honestly I love Ned so if he likes this girl I’m all for it. Plus the ending was a typical summer fling end. They dated, it was fun, now they’re mutually breaking up. Cool.

Then we have May and Happy, which I really enjoy if only because Peter’s facial expressions around the pair of them together are seriously hilarious. Who knows where they’re going from here, but I’m up for them being a couple.

And, of course, we have Peter and MJ. My friend and I were just quietly squealing at how adorable and awkward they were around each other. Peter is a sweetheart, as we all know, and the fact that he knows MJ’s favorite flower is just too precious. His whole plan is too sweet, and just makes it even more sad when it gets interrupted. Peter is worried about Brad moving in on MJ, but he’s not possessive about it, which frankly just makes it even better. And we the audience clearly see MJ is into Peter as well, considering she smiles when she catches him looking at her, and she’s just as nervous and awkward as he is. Plus we got not only one but three kisses for these two and it was just so adorable my friend and I had mini meltdowns in the theater because we were so proud of these two awkward babies. (Okay so they’re not that young I guess, but they are Sophomores, and I just think of my Sophomore friends and they’re just as adorable and I just... yeah).

4. The Fights

As always, the fight scenes are entertaining and you feel the real threat to the characters. Every time I remember that Peter is a Sophomore (which, horrible they all had to re-do the entire year), I have a mini freakout when he gets hurt because I remember the poor kid is just fifteen and I know fifteen-year-olds, and let me tell you if anyone hurt one of those kids I would be ready to battle. But Spiderman is always entertaining to watch as he swings around the bad guys, and watching him finally face down Mysterio and win made me want to cheer.

5. Iron Dad and Spider Son

Okay, so the fandom collectively decided that Tony Stark basically adopted Peter Parker, and nowhere else is it so obvious that Peter is basically his son and heir than in this movie. Of course there is the whole thing where Tony left him his glasses plus access to military-grade weaponry, which he said were left for the next Tony Stark, and then told the kid he trusted him. Yeah, ow, my heart hurt a little bit and I think that might have gotten a few tears. Peter’s momentary meltdown on the plane with Happy also got a few tears. But the thing that just completely got me into some real tears of sadness and emotions I can’t give a name to, was Peter building his new suit in the back of a plane to Tony’s music, and of course testing out the arm the same way Tony did when he created the Iron Man suit. He reminded me so much of Tony I had to take a few deep breaths to keep watching. And then in the street, instead of in a cave, Peter builds a way to get to Mysterio with nothing but scraps of what’s around him.

So that’s my review. Add on your thoughts!

Sugar, Sugar.

Sugar daddy!Jin au & fckbuddy jungkook drabble

pairing: jk x reader/jin x reader

warnings: nsfw & sexual themes, cussing, a bit of smut if u squint hard enough, toxic relationships.

A/N: this was rushed and unedited, but i just wanted to post this drabble & get done with it so there's that 😝 sorry for the grammatical errors & errythin as always. ily all tho & i hope u enjoy this shtpost 😁😘

♡

"Come get back in bed babe, I'm sure he can wait." Jungkook pleads, his lips now starting to pout.

"You know I can't kook, and even if I know he'll wait, I wouldn't want him to." You say, as you put on your clothes hurriedly, preparing to leave.

"Of course, you wouldn't want to keep your glucose grandpa waiting so long. He might have a heart attack or something," He sarcastically retorted now sitting up on the bed.

"Ha. Ha. Very funny kook. Though that ain't it, He's not even a grandpa. He's still 26, very healthy and active, if you must know."

"Ya whatever. He's the same age as my older brother though, your glucose granddaddy's probably uglier." He scoffed.

"Hey! My Financial supporter isn't ugly, He's ethereal. I bet if you saw him you'd want to be his sugar baby too. Your straight ass would probably reconsider being straight cos he's too beautiful for this world." You confidently replied.

"So, is that why you like him that much? cos he's beautiful? he prob gives good head too. But I know for a fact, no one can devour your pussy the best like me." he says and smiles smugly. "Ew. Please don't use big or cringy deep words again when talking about our sexy time, or I'm really gonna vomit. Also, I've told you a thousand times we haven't done anything. Not all sugar daddy relationships do and have to do stuff like that you know."

"Sure, says the one who used sexy time to describe how we make love. And if you're gonna vomit, do it on his expensive ass floor mat. Since he can afford to replace it and the whole house if he wanted to."

"I really have to go kook, see you whenever i do," You say now truly heading for the door. He just nods at you, acts indifferently though he was begging for you to stay a little longer, just awhile ago.

"Jin, Sorry if i was late. The traffic was horrible you know how they are."

You tell him upon arriving at his place, though you know it wasn't just the traffic that made you arrive late, it was because of another guy you didn't tell him about but he didn't seem to bother to ask too. "It's okay love, I completely understand. How are you today though? are you feeling alright? you texted me yesterday that you were so tired, are you overworking yourself again?" He says a bit concerned and empathetically.

He's always been so considerate and kind to you, and you've always liked that about him. "Yea, I'm good. Peachy. I was just worn out because of work yesterday, (and of riding jungkook's cock til we both passed out) but now i'm feeling great." You smiled at him trying to reassure him you were fine.

"How about you dear? dear. your endearment for him, how are you feeling today?" You asked. "I'm feeling good too. Actually better, now that you're here with me." He smiled, and you blushed a little embarrassingly, though it was cheesy but you had a soft spot for him.

"Anyway, I'm glad you aren't overworking yourself, but remember you can always ask me for more support if you want to. You know I'd give you everything in the world, anything for you." You were quite flustered by his words.

"Thanks, Jin. for everything really, you've always been so kind and helpful to me, though I don't do much or even enough for you, to repay you." was your pathetic reply.

"No, don't say that again love. You know, you being here with me is enough. You don't have to do filthy things to repay me. You know I'd be happy already if you just spend your time with me."

"But what if i want to do filthy things with you? I mean, if you allow me to. I want to make you feel good, daddy." You don't always call him daddy, in fact you rarely call him that. Your relationship was just pure companionship actually. That was what you both agreed on, when your partnership started. You both wouldn't do anything sexual ever. At first you thought he was asexual, but he said he wasn't when you asked him. Now, you wanted to repay him for all the good things he's done for you, but how will you when he doesn't want you to? You were confused and a bit taxed actually.

"Y/N you know what we agreed on...let's not break our agreement. I think you should rest more, maybe you're still feeling unwell." he replied quite tiredly. he doesn't usually call you by your name too, was he mad? disappointed? you weren't sure, but you didn't like it and you weren't sure you wanted to know.

"Ok...I'll just go to the room then," you replied. "Actually love, I think you should just go home. Maybe you'll be more comfortable resting there." Did he just say he wanted you out of his sight? ouch that hurt quite a bit, ok mayhaps a lot.

"Oh. ok then, I'll go home sorry for bothering you," You say, starting to walk away from him and head for the door. "Y/N, It's not like that. You know you're not a bother to me, and you never will be." Jin says.

"No, I get it. You don't want me and that's okay, we're just fellow associates anyway right?" you snap at him.

"No, why are you being like this love? I do want you. I just don't want us to be like them and everyone else. I don't want us to use eachother to that exent. I want us to be friends first, to get closer and if it leads to something more then why not? please...let's not fight about this," he pleads pityfully.

"Do you really though? do you want me? anyway, it doesn't matter. Let's just talk about it later tom. just call me or whatever." You say as you open the door and head out fast, not hearing what he might've replied to your question.

"You're back early? bet ya 5 bucks glucose guardian had a stroke and u had to send him to the ER and leave him there?" Jungkook was still there when you came back, and on his dumb ass phone, playing games. Apparently he was in a mood for jokes as always, but you weren't.

"Stfu junglecock, I'm not in the mood. Why are you still here anyway? don't you have other hoes to do? just make sure to always keep safe and try to catch fewer curable stds, or I'll never fck your nasty ass again."

"Wow someone's pretty ass is pissed, what's wrong baby? did your grandpa have a hard time getting his ancient magic stick up? is that why you're so mad cos you needed a good dicking down but you didn't get it?" he annoyingly implied.

"Jungkook, if you don't shut the f up for real you'll never be able to use your magic stick again, and I'm really serious about it." you glared at him as you said it.

"Ok. fine babe, chill. I know what always helps you relax..." He says as he drops his phone and moves towards you, backhugging you and rubbing your shoulders softly. He knows that you like how calming it feels although you don't forget the sexual implication that comes with it too.

"You know you can tell me anything right? we're not just fuckmates, we're saltmates too. We're friends aren't we?" He says while looking at you, trying to guess what's on your mind. "Of course we are kook. It's just things with jin...I feel like I'm not doing enough or good enough for him. Sometimes I feel like he just doesn't want me, but then he says he does. And I'm just- confused i guess."

"Hey, don't be too hard on yourself babe. You both agreed on that partnership, so why should you do more than what you agreed on? he's not asking for other things or forcing you to do something to repay him right?" he says a bit bitterly.

"No. He's not like that." You reassure jungkook. "Anyway, we'll probably make up later tom. and everything'll be just fine. So, you were talking about helping me to de-stress?" you told him suggestively.

You and jungkook went on it all through out the night. He pounded on you like there was no tomorrow. After your 8th round, the both of you were taxed and almost asleep. Or so you thought he was too, til he made small talk.

"Baby, are you still awake?" he asked, moving closer wrapping his arm around your waist to hold you tight. You mumbled something like "urm yea" and he took a peek at you to see if you we're still actually awake.

"You don't have to go back to him ya know," he said out of the blue, making you face him. "You could stay with me. You could be happy with me y/n. We could fuck forever happily." You didn't know what to say to that.

"Can i be honest? these past few months I didn't think I'd feel something more for you, But I did. I do. I kinda like you more than just a fckfriend y/n, hell I think I'm inlove with you. Do you feel the same way? even just a bit?" he suddenly asked and you didn't really know what to respond. So you replied something lame, "I think you're just tired guk, maybe we should really sleep now." You said looking somewhere else in the room, anywhere but his handsome face, you tried to avoid the subject, hoping that maybe he'll drop it and forget it but you know he won't.

"Is that your reply to my confession? Wow, I didn't think you'd be this mean baby. Are you rejecting me cos I'm not as rich as him? I can support us both too you know. I can save up for the things that will prob cost us our whole lives if you want to have them. Anything for you. I may not be as debonair and grand as him, but I promise you I'll love you and give you everything you want more than him. You'll have my whole heart and all of my attention, so will you please stay and choose me instead?" he begged. But you already made your choice a long time ago.

"I like you too guk, and I'll stay." you said though you know better. You lied. You left his handsome figure still sleeping soundly behind. After you told him you'll stay last night, you both fell asleep right after. But now here comes the morning, and you're already halfway to the door. You take one last look at his beautiful face, knowing it might be a long time before you see it again.

"Jin, I think I wanna go with you on that business trip." You said to him, eager to leave with him right away. "You mean the one in Japan I'll be going to later? I thought you didn't wanna come love? but ok, i guess you changed your mind. it'll be lovely to be with you there." You're glad he's okay with you coming with him.

"Yeah, I realized it'd be boring here on my own and I already filed a leave for work. And i'd probably miss you too so I wanna come with you." you said and a faint blush showed on your cheeks.

"Just probably? so you won't really miss me? jk. love, did you already pack your things? you should get ready. I'll have to stop by the office for a bit to get some things, so just meet me there when you're done. I'll be going now, so I can get ready and check that I didn't forget anything at the office, so I'll see you later love?"

"Yea, see you later Jin." You didn't call him by your endearment but you hope he didn't mind. To your surprise and delight, he gave you a peck on the cheek before running off to leave.

"Uh excuse me, can I ask if Jin's still inside his office?" you told the secretary.

"Kim Seokjin our CEO? yes, he's still inside his office. And who are you miss?" The secretary inquired.

"Uh I'm-"

"She's my girlfriend and fiancee. Her name is y/n and you should remember her face from now on." The familiar ethereal voice said from behind you, It was Jin who just arrived to meet you. The secretary apologized soon after, she was probably regretting why she had asked that question, though you assured her it was okay. "Hyung are you leaving now for that japan business- Y/N, is it really you?"

You wouldn't forget the owner of that voice of course. Though you left him behind. He spoke from behind you, and you didn't wanna face him or move. You didn't until Jin asked you, "Love, do you know my brother jungkook?" You turned slowly to face them, and mustered the courage to reply.

"Yes, We were kinda friends during college." you lamely said. "Oh. You didn't tell me you were friends with my brother. Anyway, yes jungkook I'll be going on that business trip, and Y/N will be accompanying me." Jin told his younger brother.

How could you even know jungkook was his younger brother when he didn't even tell you? He might've mentioned a brother before, but Jin didn't say it was actually Jeon Jungkook. And they have different last names anyway, so they're probably just half brothers? your pondering was interrupted by no other than jungkook speaking,

"Oh really? Before you go though, can i ask y/n this question; Is my brother the sugar daddy you were always talking about? or is your glucose guardian a different one too?" his words shocked and hurt you, though you couldn't blame him, you hurt him too.

"Jungkook, what the hell are you talking about? you don't know anything about us you brat. Mind your own damn business." You've never heard Jin cuss before, or it was rare that he did. Mayhaps he was really mad this time.

"Y/N what is he talking about? what does he mean that I'm the one you're always talking about with him? I thought you were just old college friends?" Jin inquired. "Jin...I-" you wanted to tell him about everything, but no words seem to come out of your pathetic little mouth yet.

"Oh come on baby, It's just a simple question. Is my brother the old hag you always come back to, for money or what? if he isn't, then how many are they? just curious babe." Jungkook sarcastically said. Jin was furious at this point, how dare Jungkook call you his baby? and the accusations he's saying are just over the top. Jin knows he's your only financial supporter, he's the only one right? "Jungkook you ass-" before jin could finish speaking, you spoke, though you were holding back tears.

"Yes. He's my benefactor, my sugar daddy, whatever you call it. And so what if he is kook? it's none of your business anymore. And just for the record, he's the only one. I don't have any other patrons or sugar daddies."

"Great. Just fcking amazing then, You were screwing both of us at the same time, that's why you never told me your sugar daddy's name, you planned this didn't you? I didn't see you as a gold digger who targets siblings but here we are-" Jin grabbed Jungkook by the collar because he couldn't take all the bullcrap the younger was saying about you. "Jungkook if you don't shut your filthy mouth I swear-"

"You'll what hyung? punch me? kill me? I'm already dead. Can't you see hyung? she's the one playing with us! ask her what the two of us have been doing behind your back! Sorry hyung, but i didn't know you were her sugar daddy though," Jungkook shouted.

"Love, I don't know if what he's saying is true, but i wanna hear it from you. Please tell me what's going on? why is he saying you're screwing the both of us?" Jin pleaded at you.

"I...he's my fckbuddy Jin. I'm so sorry, we didn't touch each other and I have my needs, so i had to find someone else to fulfill them. But we stopped it already. I left him and lied, and maybe that's why he's so mad at me." You said exhausted with it all,

"I promise you though I didn't know he was your brother, and I wouldn't have messed around with him if I knew. Dear, please believe me. I truly am sorry." Now it was you who was pleading.

"I'm not mad at you for leaving, I'm mad at you for lying to me. You shouldn't have said you felt something for me when you didn't." Jungkook said, now more glum than angry.

"You were really lovers then? You should have told me you wanted to hook up with other people y/n. We could've made it clear in our agreement. Maybe all of us wouldn't be hurting so much," Jin calmed down too, though disappointment and sadness was written all over his face. "I can't and won't compete with my brother y/n, we might not agree with things all the time but I can't bear to see him hurt. Jungkook likes you, and if I have to let you go so he'll stop hurting, then I will."

"No. Jin please don't do this, you're the one that I love, not Jungkook. Please don't give me up." You begged jin.

"I'm sorry love, but I can't choose you." And that was the last thing Jin said before he left you.

Jungkook took took you back after all, and you started dating him. You've learned to like him after Jin left. Though you heard Jin inherited their multi-billion dollar company in japan, and was managing it too. You were just moping around when you got a text from your boyfriend Jungkook: "When are you coming home babe?" it read. "Probably not soon yet, babe" you replied.

"What do u mean baby? how long are you gon stay there?" he texted again, probably for a really long time You replied mentally. You were still on your business trip or that's what jungkook thought, what he doesn't know is that Jin is the business trip, and you're just on your way there. You liked Jungkook he was hot, but you loved Jin more or maybe his money a whole lot.

Greasy Baby

Genre: fluff, greaser!hyuck

Word Count: 2.4k

A/N this au stems from some enlightening conversations with @cinanamon who is graciously allowing me to use some of her ideas, this one’s for you bb ;))))

greaser!hyuck is...a lil shit to say the least

like ye he’s a handsome boi i mean,,,imagine him in a leather jacket,,,hair gelled back,,,yes pls

but he knows him and his group of bois (dreamies hello) are hot shit and he’s not afraid to show that he knows it

him and the dreamies are always seen cruising around town,,, harassing hollerin at the ladies from the inside of hyuck’s beat up mustang (is that a time period correct car??? idk and idc to look it up lol)

he never actually physically harasses anyone, it’s all fun and games (for them at least don’t accept cat calling kids men ain’t shit)

there’s just...nothing else really for them to do around town

the only forms of entertainment come from the drive in theater and the soda shop that all the kids hang out at after school

he attends his local university since him and the gang come from a small town and didn’t really care to leave or have the grades to go to a better school

and you...well you don’t really know why you decided to attend a university in such a dinky little town

maybe it’s because you wanted a change of pace from the city, and maybe it’s because it’s your mother’s alma mater and you spent a few of your summers there

but somehow you find yourself at the school

the only problem is,,,everyone who attends the school grew up in the dumb town,,,meaning everyone already knows each other and has their friend groups and cliques

leaving you to fend for yourself and kind of live as an outsider

sure you make acquaintances in your classes but,,,it’s hard for you to make solid friends when everyone else already knows everything about everyone else

so you’ve been living your life on campus, smiling at the acquaintances you’ve made when you pass by them on the street, but you never really hang out with anyone after school

your sophomore year you got a job at the soda shop bc college ain’t cheap and they were hiring

surprisingly enough you made close friends through the job, your coworkers went to the same uni as you and the clientele were also in some of your classes

so you began to actually go out more (when you weren’t working obvi)

on day you were on campus walking to your next class and you saw one of said new friends

but while you were distracted with waving to them you bumped into someone and woop guess who????

you guessed it our boy hyuck with the rest of 00 line walking past

he was bouta pop off but then he sees it’s you the cute lil waitress from the soda shop that he’s lowkey seen around and been crushing on for a few months now

so when he sees you stuttering out an apology bc boi is brighter than the damn son and took your breath away

he just smirks and lets out a lil chuckle and just says ‘don’t worry about it sweetcheeks’ with a wink and then he’s off

you stand there for a moment in shock bc like obvi you know who he is even if you’ve only been around a few years who tf doesn’t know hyuck and co

and ofc your friends all saw and were like...b don’t even worry about it he just be like that sometimes ya know

and you’re like yea u right and forget about the whole encounter

but guess who doesn’t ohohoho it’s mister lee donghyuck himself he be thinking about it the rest of the day bc wow you’re even prettier up close huh

and the rest of dream are like...mmhmm ok mr. lee not sus at all we’re on. to. you.

so guess where hyuck ever so casually zooms off to after his classes are over????

oh boy you guessed it right off to the soda shop but oomph poor bb you’re not actually working that day and bb is sad :(((( meanwhile his boys are just laughing at him bc omg hyuck is so w hi p pe d

so now bb is going to the shop every moment he can until!!! finally!!! you’re working again god bless!!!

as soon as he sees you’re working baby sits bolt up right and starts fixing his slicked back hair that he had totally not been running his hands through out of nerves

the other boys weren’t there bc??? they have better places to be than at the soda shop for the 50000 time that day even though chenle and jisung had been there earlier just to laugh at him

but now holy shit you’re coming over and you look so cute in the dumb poodle skirt they make you wear as a uniform with your hair placed in a high ponytail

meanwhile you’re sw e a t i n g bc shit it’s hyuck and he’s still a handsome ass boy and you have to serve his table n ow f u c k

so you sidle on over and give him your usual spiel asking what he’d like to order n shit

and this boy omf remember when i said he was annoying?

well yea he fucking goes ‘are you on the menu bc I’d certainly like to have a piece of you’

and you’re like...boy tf oh my god i want to SLAP him

but you grin through it like ha ha...funny ok...our specials for today are...

hyuck ain’t listening anymore bc he’s busy mentally kicking himself bc??? really hyuck??? you’re trying to make her like you wtf were you t h in k i ng

so he just points at some random thing on the menu, his head hanging in shame

and yea you’d think it was cute if he hadn’t just gotten on your damn nerves

but, alas, you have to continue serving the boy who had ordered literally just a fried egg but you know who were you to judge

he eats the egg rather quickly and then just...sits there...not doing anything...and you don’t know what to do like you can’t kick him out he did order something and it’s not particularly busy

meanwhile hyuck’s head is spinning trying to think of how to woo you after completely embarrassing himself earlier

after like an hour passes you head over to him, ready to ask him again if he wants anything else to eat

but as soon as you get to him he jolts upright scaring the shit out of you and he’s like fuck sorry i didn’t mean to scare you

and you’re like it’s fine now seriously do you want anything else-

but he cuts you off and suddenly...lee donghyuck?? is grabbing onto your hand??? and rapidly apologizing to you for being so Gross earlier

you gotta shake the boy off of you and honestly,,,he’s really endearing like aw he’s so embarrassed what a bb

when you get out of his grip you’re like bro it’s ok tbh i get much worse all the time

suddenlt hyuck is ready to f i g ht like who tf??? i will square up

in your head you’re like,,,bitch ik you catcall don’t even try...but in reality you’re like mmmhmm sure ok you couldn’t hurt a damn fly

hyuck is angery now like wdym im tough >:( don’t you see my leather jacket and cool hair and car???

and you,,,oh you little reader pat lee donghyuck’s fUCkiNg head and now he is blushing oooooh

in a smol voice he asks for his check and leaves you a v generous tip despite your protests

and by that time his confidence seems to come back bc he winks and tells you he’ll be back

you giggle and give him a lil wave bc...wow lee donghyuck is just a cute shy lil bb hehe

and now hyuck is coming in every day,,,sometimes with his boys,,,sometimes alone but no matter what he’s always sure to, in a respectful manner, flirt with you and chat you up while dream just look on in amusement bc, again, hyuck is wh i p p e d

y’all just kinda...live like that for a few weeks but it’s v clear to e v er y body that there is shit going down between the two of you

like at this point hyuck’s hanging around campus with you too so like,,,everyone and their mother knows at this point bc,,,like i said earlier,,,everyone in this damn town knows everything about everyone

so ya’ll are stagnant, hyuck flirting, you laughing and sometimes flirting back

until one day ohhh boy there’s a new boul in town and he is not ashamed at all

and by that i mean he’s the biggest fucking asshole to ever step foot in the town, thinking he’s hot shit and everybody wants him when everyone hates his g u t s

and this boy has been hanging around the shop, livin his life, waiting for his moment to strike

but uh oh he made a mistake bc the first person he attempts to come on to...is you

and hyuck has been there bc he knows this guy has been hanging around and he wants to keep an eye on you his girl

it was a good thing too bc... this boul is going all out

tugging lightly at your skirt when you come to take his order while he uses the same cringy line hyuck used on you that first day

and hyuck knows you’re a big girl who can handle herself which you make very clear by firmly rejecting him with a smile plastered across your face

but...boy does not and will not let up

and you’re getting more and more frustrated and hyuck can tell esp when you keep throwing exasperated looks in his direction w the occasional eye roll

he would laugh but he’s too busy trying not to flip his shit

until boy fuckin just goes to grab your ass and you immediately move back, ready to reprimand him

but all thoughts are brushed aside when a loud crash sounds followed by heavy footsteps

hyucky had stood up so harshly that his chair had fallen over but he hadn’t even bothered to fix it bc he immediately stormed over to you, loosely wrapping his arm around your waist and pulling you into his side

he is m a d like you thought he couldn’t fight before but now he looks like he could rip a guys head off and you lowkey find it hot but that’s not what’s important right now

the guy is like oh woops sorry bro didn’t know she was taken but hyuck is not having it going off about how you shouldn’t treat anyone like that period no matter if they’re in a relationship or not

and yes hyuck and his friends had been the same way a few months before but meeting you changed his way of thinking and his friends as well

bc the idiots had never had any female acquaintances before but now they have you and you’re like a sister to them except for hyuck obvi bc he’s in looove

anyway back to the matter at hand i swear i keep going on tangents soz

you have to calm hyuck down before he actually punches this guy in the nose and the guy throws some money on the table before booking it out of there bc he’s high key scared rn lol puddy

your boss comes out and is like...y’all good? and you’re like uhhh yea mind if i talk to him for a minute? n he’s like ya sure whatever

so you pull hyuck over to a back room and you’re like,,,bro,,,wtf you good now??

but hyuck is on a roll now and just flat out says ‘i’ve liked you for a while now so will you do me the honor of being my gf?’

you ??? for a second before snapping himself out of it and you’re like ??? hell yea boi tf???

so now y’all are dating woo!!!

he makes sure to come to the shop whenever you’re working

at first he even would miss classes but you were not gonna have that oh no education comes first kids >:(((

and he was like ugh ok fine but he always managed to get other dreamies to be there when he couldn’t just so he knows you’re ok :(((

you get really close with the other dreamies tho so now you’re all one happy family

even when hyuck isn’t at your shift he makes sure to pick you up afterwards

waiting outside, leaning against his beat up mustang …leather jacket on…waiting for you to come out…and when you walk up to him he grabs you by the waist…pressing a chaste kiss to your forehead…before opening the door for you…driving off to who knows where…but neither of you care as long as you’re together…

sometimes you go to the drive in and cuddle up in the backseat making out for the duration of the movie hehe

you climb onto his lap and sometimes you can hear the people in the next car wooping and hyuck just gives them the finger before bringing his hand back to settle on the back of your thigh

ahem anyways enough of that

other times you just,,, drive around,,, windows down,,, blasting music and laughing,,, just living your life as two college students should hyuck’s hand resting on your thigh shhhh

you always stop at the same dingy diner that’s hidden away on some side road

(shout out to steph for this next part love you bb uwu)

and hyuck always rummages through his pockets for change to buy you a drink, even when you say he doesn’t have to and you know he doesn’t always have the most money he says he wants to

trips to the diner are always followed by sunset drives where you have to remind him to watch the road bc he finds it so much fun to smiles t you and try to kiss you while driving and you scold him that he’s going to die one day, him saying it’s better to live hard, die young

#sorry my philly slang poked through a lil bit there #i hope this was greaser-esque enough i feel like it wasn't really #oh well haha #i miss hyucky :(#also i am workin gon college mark i promise #nct imagine #nct fluff #nct au #haechan imagine #haechan au #haechan fluff #donghyuck imagine #nct dream imagine #nct 127 imagine

Credit where credit is due, Gabriel did a nice job directing this episode. He had more screen time that I’m used to from actors pulling double duty, and he seems to have handled the extra workload well.

That’s not to say the episode was flawless. Yeah, by Season 9 standards, it was pretty good overall, but I mean. Season 9 standards.

We start off at home with Louis and Sheila having a terse exchange over tea as I wonder, yet again, why they’re together at all if they’re always so goddamn pissy about everything. Louis bemoans his demotion as Sheila irritably directs him to drink his rooibos and asks him what the big deal is, being that he didn’t even want the job in the first place (true). Louis parries that he only said that because Donna offered it to him the same night he found out about Sheila’s pregnancy (true), but at any other time in his life, he would have taken it (false). On the contrary, you may remember this fairly unambiguous exchange from “Pecking Order” (s08e02) between Doctor Lipschitz and Louis: “As I recall, you accepted Harvey becoming managing partner after Jessica left.” “That’s when I realized I didn’t want to be managing partner.” I suppose I’ve never accused this show of internal consistency before, why bother starting now?

Louis then delightfully compares himself to a ball-less cat and laments that though “the job wasn’t sunshine and rainbows, [he] was getting really good at it,” and excuse me but what? Forget that disastrous hearing that summoned Faye to their doorstep, his most recent acts as managing partner include trying to bully Professor Gerard into letting him be the keynote speaker at Harvard’s Ethic Conference to talk up his failing firm, and going completely off the rails trying to fire the poor IT guy for failing to digitally break into the New York State Bar Association. Louis sucked at being managing partner.

Next up is a reminder that I need to be careful what I wish for as Donna and Harvey discuss his reflexive support of her impassioned but quite incorrect argument against Louis trying to fire Benjamin, and how much she didn’t appreciate it. Turns out it wasn’t so reflexive; he did it because she thought she would like it, which is its own magnificently flawed concept—thinking she’ll get mad at him for disagreeing with her doesn’t say much for his respect for her integrity—but then Donna realizes that he’s afraid she’s going to leave him if he doesn’t unconditionally support her, and you just know the writers thought they were being real clever with this. (Wait, isn’t one of Harvey’s defining character traits his ability to read people? “You read books, I read people” was actually one of the first things he said to Mike in the pilot… Gosh it’s been a long time.)

As I was saying about this show’s internal consistency, two things about this whole exchange: One, all through Season 7, Harvey had no trouble calling Paula out when she was being ridiculous and disagreeing with her about all kinds of shit. Two, as recently as “Everything Changes” (s09e01), Harvey cooed that “[he’s] finally where [he’s] supposed to be” when he’s with Donna, to which Donna replied “We both are,” and like, are they a match made in Heaven right out of the box or what? His trust in their relationship is wildly inconsistent. Unless he wants to forfeit his autonomy for some reason? I don’t know, it’s weird and I don’t like it.

I also take issue with Donna’s dismissive “Oh, my god. Of course. Harvey, I’m not gonna leave you.” This has been an issue for him since forever, as she well knows, but rather than ask him what’s wrong—is he really afraid she’ll leave him over something so small?—or point out that he needs to go to therapy (if she wants to be tactful, she could ask if he wants to “talk to someone” about this), she treats it as an endearing character quirk, and someone needs to save Harvey from all this shit yesterday.

The interruption to this…reconciliation isn’t quite as cringy as the can opener bit from the last episode, but I’ve gotta call it out for being just some truly lazy storytelling. Gretchen appears out of nowhere to tell them they “need to go see Louis,” on account of his demotion, and Donna’s deer-in-headlights response is “Oh, my god. We need to go to him right now.” Yeah, no shit, that’s what Gretchen just said, except this framing affords Harvey the opportunity to mount his noble high horse and declare: “No. You go to him. I need to go see Faye.” Which he does, dramatic music and all, declaring that “dammit, not everybody has to do everything by [her] book,” and I must point out that she demoted Louis for trying to fire the employee who he asked to perform an illegal activity that he failed to perform only because he was caught; in what book is that okay? He then asserts: “You want consequences, I’ll give you consequences,” which is delightfully reminiscent of that old classic, “I’ll give you something to cry about,” in that it makes absolutely no sense, and Harvey, you adorable impetuous dumbass, if your goal is to convince her to leave, I think you might be going about it in a little bit the wrong way.

Roll title crawl! (No seriously, that was all just the cold open.)

Anyway Donna does go to comfort Louis, already treating herself and Harvey as a unit when she assures him that “if [he] ever [needs her] or Harvey during any of this Faye bullshit,” they’re there for him, and dropping the much more interesting detail that she has a much older sister she doesn’t want to talk about who “turned every man she was ever with into an emotional doormat,” which I don’t have time to fic right now but I feel like might explain a lot. Then Alex and Samantha have an endearing little exchange wherein Samantha proposes doing something to help Louis and Alex clarifies that it has to be ethical, and it’s nice to know that at least a couple of people around here aren’t completely insane.

Speaking of things being insane, I won’t fault Gabriel for this because the direction itself is fine, but from a writing perspective, the narrative construct of this next scene is terrible. Harvey shows up at a meeting with Some Guy whose nondescript company is apparently, thanks to his board and the company’s lawyers, being taken over (by someone) against his wishes, and the only hint of context for any of this is that “the people” orchestrating this takeover are “related” to Faye. The obvious conclusion to this exchange is that Harvey is going to help this guy, who is apparently the CEO of this random organization, sue the company by acting as a shareholder rather than a C-level employee, and I still have no idea what the fuck is going on.

Back at the firm where I do kind of know what’s going on, Susan the Associate approaches Katrina with a problem she found in the VersaLife case Katrina’s working, and as soon as they gave her a name in the last episode, I know she was going to be important. More to the point, it looks like Katrina’s got herself an associate! (Remember when senior partners were required to hire their own associates? It was a whole big thing back in Season 1, I think.)

Next up, Louis is having lunch with an old friend, Saul the Judge, who informs him that some other judge is retiring or being fired or something, and offers him a judgeship, and there is so much wrong with this scene that I don’t even know where to begin.

Yes I do. Since when has Louis’s lifelong dream been to be a judge? This is literally the first time he’s ever expressed any interest in it, at all. And another thing, that is not how judicial selection works.

In New York State, judges, depending on the court, are either appointed by the governor and confirmed by the State Senate, nominated by a commission and approved by the governor, chosen at a partisan nominating convention and elected by the voting public, or appointed by the mayor. Qualified individuals can apply to be considered, such as by the Mayor’s Advisory Committee, but there’s no one-and-done offer/acceptance transaction between someone currently on the bench and his lawyer pal, so either this guy is offering Louis a job that doesn’t exist or, more likely, the writers don’t know shit about the New York City legal system.

Moving on. Harvey shoves a recusal form in Faye’s face as he informs her that he “got” a case against her old firm, and he’s “taking it,” as though he didn’t go way out of his way to hunt it down in the first place. He then throws a stupidly juvenile hissy fit, claiming he’ll use whatever he fucking has to to “win,” and prove his system his better than hers, but he won’t have to cross any lines because she de-balled (second reference, just as charming as the first) the guys at her old firm so much that “they’re shaking in their boots” at the mere threat of lawsuit. This whole exchange is basically a showcase of Harvey acting like a spoiled child, and I know he’s a passionate guy but I gotta say, I’m getting tired of this whole act.

Back to that clusterfucking disaster of a judgeship offer, Louis fesses up to Sheila but admits that he doesn’t want to accept the drop in salary with a kid on the way, or leave his friends in the lurch, and she in turn fesses up that she asked Saul to make the offer in the first place because “being a judge has always been [his] dream.” (SINCE WHEN?) Louis is incensed until she tells him that it was basically Saul’s idea, but that if he doesn’t take it now, he’ll never get the change again, which… Why? Well, I guess they haven’t pointlessly manufactured any tension in awhile. Anyway, Louis promises to sleep on it.

Elsewhere, Samantha proposes committing conspiracy to get Faye out of their lives and Alex shuts that shit right away, and I’m actually really enjoying their dynamic right now. Susan asks Katrina what she should do about a smart, funny paralegal she clicks with; Katrina, having “seen that before,” recommends finding a new paralegal, and I’ve never had this question before but is Katrina anti-Machel for some reason? Doesn’t matter. Susan proposes reaching out to opposing counsel, who just so happens to be an old family friend, and Katrina wisely tells her not to, but somewhat less wisely starts and ends her rationale with “Because I know,” which I’m sure won’t motivate Susan to act in any sort of way.

Now, I’m no dream theorist, but luckily this show has all the subtlety of a Liberace action figure, so it’s not too difficult to figure out what Louis’s subconscious mind is trying to say: He wants to humiliate Faye (for demoting him and taking over his firm), he wants to bang Donna (and maybe also Alex), he thinks of Harvey as his peer but also his inferior (who he wants desperately to impress and probably also to fuck), and his confidence is mainly derived from the approval and admiration of others. Also he wants to have sex with basically everyone. Maybe not Gretchen. But everyone else.

Dr. Lipschitz, to whom Louis was evidently relaying the events of this dream, finds the whole thing quite amusing, but points out that if Louis takes the judgeship, he won’t have his friends around him anymore. Double-edged sword and all that.

Red letters and Love confessions

so I spotted this prompt on @phanfic and decided to give it a go.. so here you go @nightphans ( if you see it) I hope you enjoy it!!

Summary: Dan has been writing letters to Phil for many years, so what happened when Phil comes across one. Rating: PG Tags: Friends to lovers.

When they first met, Dan had expected it to go a little different. He had expected sparks to fly, love confessions, cuddles on the sofa and sweet kisses… but sadly the reality was that he and Phil were just friends, and that’s all they would ever be. Sure they flirted a lot online and posted slightly suggestive messages but it was all just a joke, two boys playing around and having fun.

Their friendship grew closer over time, Dan moved to Manchester for uni and then they moved in together, their YouTube careers got stronger and their fan base slightly crazier. It became a lot harder for Dan over the years, especially when the fans started speculating about their relationships and pushing their ideas on to them. The constant stream of ‘are you dating’ ‘please kiss’ ‘they are totally together’ at first pushed them apart, but once they got over that period they were stronger than ever. Though there was one problem, Dan loved Phil… but he was scared to tell him.

Ever since they first met, through all the laughter, tears, fighting and make ups Dan had been writing letters addressed to Phil. Letters Phil would never see. From a young age Dan was always writing things down, it was his escape from reality, his way of writing down his emotions so he didn’t accidently spill it to other people. So when his feelings for Phil started to manifest, the only way he could keep it away from Phil was to write them down.

Days, months, years worth of letters had started to pile up in a black box that he kept in his draw, sure they joked to fans about this box, but Dan knew Phil wouldn’t go in that box so he didn’t have to worry about him finding a letter as long as he kept it locked away. Sometimes when he was feeling down, he would go sit in his room and read some of the letters, they were colour coded for different emotions so he always knew which one to reach for.

It was nearing the time they would be leaving on their second world tour and Dan honestly had no idea how he was going to cope this time. Last time he almost confessed to Phil but bottled it last minute, and he feared this time he would do something stupid and slip up. They were supposed to be packing their suitcases but Dan decided to use this as an opportunity to flop down on his bed and look through some of the older letters. The first one he pulled out was in a green envelope, on the front it had ‘Mr Philip Lester’ and their old Manchester address on it. Green was Phil’s favourite colour so this type of letter was just Dan appreciating something Phil had done.

‘Dear Phil, Today was so surreal… you took me to meet a few of your old friends that you had met while doing the ‘YouTubes’ Little did you know but these people had been people I have looked up to for many years, so thank you so much for giving me the chance to meet them one on one without it having to be an awkward ‘fan’ experience… Though I’m sure it was defo an awkward Dan experience. When I tripped over the pavement and then you tripped yourself up so it looked like you had tripped and dragged me down so I didn’t have a giant cringe attack… that meant a lot to me. Also I can’t believe you you have such a good memory when we played those memory games... that some talent right there. God, I wish I could just tell you how much I admire you, and how smart and funny and creative you are… but sadly I can not so this letter will have to do. Thanks again for today, later Dan x’

After reading over the letter he laughed and put it away, he remembered that day pretty well and it was one of his favourite memories when looking back at that time period. He had met some of Phil’s friends who soon became both of their friends and Dan really had appreciated that.

“Dan?” Phil called out.

Dan could hear him getting closer so he scrambled all the letters together and threw them back in the draw before opening the door to Phil. “Yeah?” he leaned against the door frame and peered his head out of it. “Your phone keeps going off.” He pointed towards the living room where Dan had left his phone that morning after eating his food. Dan nodded and headed out of the room and down to the living room to grab his phone.

Phil was just about to leave when he caught glimpse of something red on Dans bed, he was going to shrug it off and walked back to his own room, but curiosity got the best of him and went to check. Once he made it to the bed, he noticed it was an envelope, snorting slightly he assumed It was another ‘cringy love confession’ from a fan that had sneaked in through their letter box but upon closer inspection he saw it had his name on it. Curiously he picked it up and inspected it noticing it had their old flat address on it, shrugging he put it in his pocket assuming Dan had packed it during the move and he had just found it now.

He headed back out of Dan’s room and made his way back to his own, so he could finish packing for the tour. He passed Dan on the way and informed him that he was going back to pack his suitcase and that they had to leave that night to travel to Brighton for the first show. Once he made it back to his room he pulled the letter out of his pocket and sat down on the bed. After looking over the letter a few times he turned it over and opened it up. ‘Dear Phil’ He rolled his eyes, so it was a fan letter, he was going to put it to the side, but curiosity got the best of him ( again) and he decided to read it regardless.

‘Dear Phil, It’s been one of those hard days again today, you looked so sad but wouldn’t tell me why.’ He stopped for moment, did this person know him? Was it after a live show or something? Or had it been one of those days he went for a run. Shrugging it off he decided to continue. ‘I knew from the moment I saw you that something was up, I tried to ask but you just ignored it and continued to talk about the anime show. I thought maybe I had done something wrong but so far I cant think of what it could possibly be. Later that day you started to cheer up, we did some baking and thought I would throw some flour on you and you laughed that made me so happy.’ Phil had to stop reading again. He put the note down on his lap and looked over at the door. He then looked back at it… this had to be Dan, but why would Dan be writing letter addressed to him. He bit his lip slightly and picked the letter back up, he felt like he shouldn’t be reading this, but again his curiosity got the best of him even though he was sure this was suppose to be private. “the way your tongue sticks out when you laugh is so endearing and cute… Fuck sake you are making this so hard for me!! Every day the NEED to tell you gets stronger and stronger but how would you react… would you laugh it off… would you accept it? Or would you hate me and never talk to me again… If only we didn’t have all these eyes on us then maybe I wouldn’t be so scared… Phil” He gulped and put his hand over his mouth, what was Dan trying to say. “ I love you… “ He dropped the letter on the floor and completely covered his mouth. Sure at one point he though maybe Dan had liked him, but he had pushed that aside after all that fighting that happened and was sure Dan had just liked him as a friend after that. He crossed one leg over the other and placed both hands on his head as he looked down at his lap, was this really happening? He hadn’t realised how long he had been thinking about this, to him it felt like minutes, but his thoughts were interrupted when his bedroom door opened and a small ‘ Phil?’ echoed in his room, and his head. “Oh no….” Dan spotted the envelope on the floor and the paper near it, he knew what it was he could tell his horrible writing from a mile off… he backed up slightly and grippe the edge of the wall. “Please… say you didn’t read that..” he continued. Phil slowly looked up at him, he hated seeing the way Dan went all stiff when he was scared, he wanted to tell him it was okay… he didn’t mind, but no words would come out, he just continued to look at him. “ No no no no no no” Dan kept repeating it over and over again, he placed one hand over his face and kept a hold of the door with his other hand, he couldn’t believe this was happening, Phil wasn’t suppose to see this and yet here he was … reading one of his letters.. and a red letter at that. “I am so sorry…” he started Phil got up off his bead and walked closer to Dan, he knew Dan would walk backwards so he just had to get to him before Dan had the chance to turn around and run to his room. “I’m so sorry Phil.. I’m so sorry… you weren’t suppose to read that…” he was panicking, he could feel his heart race, he could feel his mind slipping to a dark place. He could see Phil getting closer, he feared Phil was going to push him out of his room, out of his life… but he really didn’t expect what Phil was actually going to do. Phil reached out and grabbed Dan’s hand pulling it from his face and then neither of them knew who did it first… but soft lips pressed against slightly chapped lips and stiff hands slowly wrapped around each other. After a moment they pulled back and Phil looked into Dan’s eyes. “How long have you been hiding this.. “ he laughed lightly and placed his own hand on Dan’s face. “of course I wouldn’t reject you… you mean a lot to me” he pecked his lips one more time and then held him close

Hey, I miss you

You know, what, even tho I started this blog for myself and thought maybe I want ppl to discover it, now I just feel like it’ll become a place where I write letters to you, Dream Boy(actually I find it cringy to call u that all the time, so I’ll just address u as you, as I think one day u might read all these posts, at least I hope so).

I just wanted to talk to you, so I felt like writing this. Actually I talk to u in my mind as well, not sure tho, if it’s u who replies(ik it’s def me haha but still) I mean I just imagine what u would have replied, even tho idk you yet. But somehow I feel that I know you partly, ig we have something in common after all. There are so many things I’d like to share with u, my little discoveries, songs, feelings etc. And I hope u’d do the same one day. So now having no other way to connect to u other than in my mind and maybe dreams sometimes, I’m writing this letter to you. Btw sometimes I can really feel u beside me, it’s really a strange feeling, but I like it, and sometimes when I think about u or feel u my heart gets warm, I’ve never felt this way before. However I get this feeling rarely this days, compared to before. I guess it’s because at that time I really needed ur help and support, now not as much, I feel like I’ve become stronger. Thank you for being there for me from the start of this year(it’s around that time I knew u r for real, tho I still have doubts about who u are, not that it matters, I still love u). In my mind or daydreams(?) we’ve been supporting each other, mainly just by being together, sometimes with words too. Actually we had fights too! haha But we are still together as u can see. One day when we meet and become really close, even when we have fights I hope we still will be together. You know, I imagined that we were lying on the bed(even tho we had a fight, I’ll tell u the reason later a bit)and u were holding my arm in urs two. Even though we both felt bitter and sad we couldn’t turn our backs on each other. I thought it was really touching and cute(?). You are dear to me and mean a lot for me, I can’t help but love u actually. And I really don’t want us to hurt each other’s feelings, but it can’t be helped sometimes. However that what makes our relationship grow, even though it hasn’t really started yet. No matter what I hope we will convey our feelings and try understanding each other. Really, I love you, I have never had this strong feeling before, it’s weird for me. I think my love for u is sth that has always been there (is what I want to say, but honestly I’m not sure about it). But I love you now, somewhere deep inside me. But it won’t stop me from doing the things I want to irl while we haven’t met yet. I’’ll be enjoying my life to the fullest(well, to the fullest in my understanding, not sure how full it is in other ppl’s minds). Currently I’m trying to leave my comfort zone for real, step by step, I hope I succeed. And till our meeting I’ll use u as my inspiration as I have many projects I’d like to do. I wrote 2 songs about u actually! but I haven’t composed a melody yet. I’ll take my time with it, but I have an idea of what it’ll sound like ig.

So, the thing I wanted to tell is that these days have been tough n sad a bit. But I feel better rn. I haven’t been feeling like drawing, or I was but I was busy and when I didn’t draw i felt bad about myself ugh. But them I reminded that I don’t have to worry about it and just enjoy my life and current moment. Sometimes I forget that, it’s tough to remember that all the time plus really realizing it takes time too. I gotta be easier on myself. I also wanted to go to a gig in Moscow but I couldn’t find a band that I like or that plays the songs that I like ;( And u know, I recently became friends with Sam. We are exchanging e-mails currently and we had a little falling out ig not sure what to call it tbh. So he’s really kind n sweet, I am happy to have him as a friend. But then I think he was daydreaming a bit too much and used lots of endearments in the mail, so I was conflicted. I def want to be friends with him, but what if he thought of it more than that is what I thought(and it made me sad), and then there is u. Ofc I thought for a bit that he might be u, but I know he isn’t, I’m sure of it somehow. And that was one of the reasons we had a fight with u. So in the end I told him what I thought about endearments and stuff, and I was relieved, I am kind of proud for myself for doing it. But he assured me that we are totally friends, but somehow he was sad for making me feel uncomfortable, it made me sad too actually. But it seems all is better now, he is really a good fellow n he had rough times, so he needs a friend and I am glad to be one for him, I actually need friends too. That’s funny how I have several internet friends and no friends in real life, but I have my cousins and sis, so it’s not that bad plus we’ve become closer, I can’t be happier about that(I can actually lol). But I hope to find some other friends too. Another sad thing was that I was feeling unsure of myself about getting a part-time job, just thinking too much about future, it really makes me worry more than I should. So I say to myself ENJOY CURRENT MOMENT AND tODAY, no overthinking about future, i feel better somehow.

Yesterday mum and bro returned from football match, and Phil was sad, because my told he’ll quit football now as he doesn’t work enough and isn’t hard-working n stuff. *sigh* Well, my mum is just like this, she wants us to put all our effort n mind into a thing. It’s not really bad but from my experience I can say it’s tough. So I feel sad for my brother. Plus my parents are too much sometimes, dunno how to explain it tbh and it’s not like I wanna think about it rn. But they care and love us in their own way? I just felt deja vu rn haha.

So that’s what i wanted to say here ig. I like thinking about u. I don’t wanna idealize u and I don’t actually, but I feel so much love for u and sometimes when I think about it too much I don’t know what to do. But I often kiss n hug u and just enjoy ur presence <3 xoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxoxo haha

Sometimes when I can;t fall asleep I imagine lying or hugging u, whatever it feels like at the moment and i fall asleep rather fast. I’ve told u that already but I want to share many things with u, so I often(or not rlly?) talk to u and we are happy or sad together, sometimes u also come to me sad or happy n we feel the same. And I create stories (which I wish to draw\write\animate someday) n usually we are there too! I hope u like fantasy, magic n fairy tales as much as I do. ALright, I gotta finish this letter, I’ll share some songs now. Aslo sometimes I listen to sings and it seems to me u might like them too, but I have no idea rn haha. I love you <3<3<3

Legendary Station Fic - Chap 1

Seeing as I’m almost done with this fic I thought it was worth posting it on Tumblr? So, yeah, huray. Klance Radio Station Au or Klance Boradcasters Au. or College Roadio Station Au. Lol Idw

I’m gonna say the same thing I said when I started this fic;

Here's the thing: I know shit about radio stations. Here's the other thing: I don't care, I'm still gonna write the Au.

Disclaimer: Voltron doesn't belong to me, sha la la.

"Voltron , 104.5; the legendary station!"

The slogan was followed by a celebration sound effect that did nothing to silence Lance’s booming voice, "And CongratuLIONS, Christian! You just won two tickets to the Balmera Crystals concert for next Friday!"

The brunet laughs as more screaming and whooping appears on the other side of the line, "Don't hang up on me, alright buddy? Green is gonna take your call and give you more details." A few buttons on his desk later, "Did you got it, Pidgey?" He asks out loud and smirks when Pidge flips him the finger.

"Don't call me that." She snaps and Lance rolls his shoulders back, satisfied with the answer.

Lance cracks his knuckles as he leans towards his microphone, "Alright, guys, let's get back to our thing! Remember there are still a few more tickets left, so keep calling and you might be next the lucky lion to win! Now, let's hear this new Voltron Release, courtesy of your Blue Paladin, and remember you heard it here first in —" he pauses and finger gun points at Pidge, who grins and let the slogan roll.

"Voltron, 104.5; the legendary station!"

"See you after a small pause, my peeps!" Pressing the off button by his side, Lance pushes down his wireless headphones and flashes a grin at Pidge behind the glass, who is rolling around the Main Cabin on her green rolling chair.

"What do you think, Pidge? How we looking with the numbers?" He asks through the microphone and Lance watches as Pidge lazily reaches to press the speaker button on her desk.

"Well, Mr. Blue Paladin, not to ruin your fun but you’re still below Red." Her voice echoes around the RC and Lance let’s out a shout, slamming his hands against the table.

"Que, que? That Emo Mullet doesn't even have the busiest hour of the day!" He cries out, waving his hands in outrage, his attention focused on Pidge that he misses the sound of the RC's door behind him.

"That's because the content I offer is actually good and entertaining." A bored voice reply to him and Lance turns to see Keith at the entrance of the Recording Cabin, leaning against the doorframe.

And, yeah, okay, it’s one thing to interfere during his hour, even though they’re in commercials, but this is Lance’s zone, okay? And Keith has no right to come in here with his tiny messy ponytail and his freaking outdated flannel and looking like the bad boy with a soft heart, and with his sunglasses on top, allowing him to see the Alexandria’s Genesis in him and it’s not fair, looking that pretty —

Anyways, the point is that Keith sucks. Yes, that was the point, and Lance will not stand it.

"Oh no, no, no, no, nope. Get out, this is still my hour." Keith rolls his eyes as he closes the door behind him and walks towards the other end of the cabin, waving off Lance and his pout.

"Relax, Lance, I left my material here yesterday and I need it for today’s hour." The young man explains as he gathers the bunch of papers and books on the end of the table, feeling Lance's eyes on him as he makes the small journey.

“Why’re you here so early, though?” Lance questions, arching an eyebrow as Keith gathers his notes at the end of the round table.

The Astronomy student shrugs, not bothering to look up, “I finished the class's activity earlier than expected.”

Lance rolls his eyes, “Of course you did, Mr. Top of the Class.”

The Korean man shrugs nonchalantly, “Pretty easy stuff.”

Lance is about to reply, because Jesus, Keith, Physic stuff are not that easy are you a purple alien? But his eye catches the movement of the Live Light coming back to life. Flashing an annoyed glare towards Pidge, who didn't look in the least remorseful, Lance quickly pulls back up his blue headphones.

"Alright, guys, and we're back! It’s time for favorite segment of this hour; that’s right, let me tell you about these incredible pickup lines I got for you in Pick Up Out Of The Blue! —"

Keith snorts loudly as he exits, barely dodging the flying microphone thrown his way. He joins Pidge on the Main Cabin, MC as they call it, with Lance's voice echoing around the small room, and they both listen as Lance goes through his usual pickup line session with his audience.

When he first suggested it on a Group Meeting, a loud ‘No’ echoed from all the members, but Lance, being Lance, didn't take no as an answer and the very next day tried his new idea out and as everyone cringed and groaned in the MC during his hour, the station's phone went crazy and Twitter went off with notifications.

For some reason, people found Lance’s corny and cringy pickup lines endearing and even some of them actually asked dating advice from him, giving him the option to create a new segment inside his hour.

Those poor souls.

Three weeks later and it was a big surprise when Lance's pickup lines were more than popular and the rating of his hour in the Station grew. Lance still doesn’t let them live it down; he declared that it was his millionaire idea to dethrone Keith from being the Most Heard Broadcaster in the Station, not that Keith cared if he succeed or not, because unlike Lance, Keith honestly doesn’t care about his ranking, no matter how much Lance insist on their so called rivalry, the ivory teen just want to give the audience the truth, because, yes, people, the Moon Landing was a fake, open your eyes —

"Now, hear me out, because this one is the premium one, ready? ‘Hey, girl! I think you're purrfect.'"

Both Pidge and Keith groan at the same time as Lance continues effortlessly, laughing as he reads some of tweets the audience sends him with their own pickup lines and reading them out loud: a usual dynamic between Lance’s audience and him.

There’s a reason why Lance’s hour is one of their most popular, even though not the most ranked one, and it’s because Lance makes it seem like a casual chat between friends and if there’s something Lance is good at is making friends.

"I swear, I still have the theory that most of people that listen to his hour are fuckboys." Pidge grumbles and Keith laughs, leaning with his hip against the end of Pidge’s desk, eyes focused on the Cuban Broadcaster.

"From all your theories, that has to be my favorite one." Keith jokes before returning his gaze towards Lance, his eyes almost fond as he watches the brunet to bark a laugh and wiping a tear from his eye when he finishes a particular funny line.

Pidge watches him from the side and hums, "Keith, tone it down a notch, I can feel your pinning." She says, smirking when Keith chokes and losses his posture.

"Pidge!" He hisses, narrowing his eyes and making sure that the speaker button wasn't on. The young girl laughs before raising her hands in mock surrender.

"I'm sorry, man, it's just so painful to see you sometimes."

"Shut up, Katie."

Pidge opens her mouth in mocking indignation and throws her Rubrics Cube at him. Keith laughs as he easily dodges it, sticking out his tongue playfully.

"Children, children, what did we say about throwing stuff inside the studio?" demands a new voice from the entrance of the Main Cabin, making both teenagers to turn meeting Shiro’s unamused look, arms crossed over his chest.

"Ah, well,” Keith starts, shrugging his shoulders, “This might be a good time to say we need a new microphone." He informs nonchalantly as he points at Lance with his thump.

The Latino catches the action, realizing he was mentioned and he flips Keith off with his free hand, not stopping his broadcasting and sends a toothy grin at Shiro as a greeting. Shiro waves at him but narrows his eyes in the promise of a future lecture.

He waits until Lance visually pouts before the former pilot nods satisfied, knowing that his message got through.

"Go get ready, Keith.” Shiro orders, putting his attention back to the teens in front of him. “Your hour is about to begin in ten." The black haired teen nods and exits the MC, heading towards the RC.

"You good, Pidge?" Shiro asks once Keith is out the door. Pidge nods, pushing herself back from the desk, leaving open for Shiro to take over.

"All yours, Black."

"Two minutes, Blue." Shiro says into the speaker and shakes his head softly with a smile when Lance salutes him.

Shiro and Pidge stay quiet as they listen to Lance wrap up his show and Keith enters the cabin slowly, taking seat by Lance’s side with his notes and picking up his own pair of red headphones.

“Sadly, my peeps, as everything in this life, good things must come to an end, and so does my hour of today. I know, I know, it’s pretty sad, especially when I’m leaving you with Mullet Man —“

“They know my name, Blue.” Keith interrupts from his end, tapping on the right ear of his headphones to make sure it was connected with the Station’s signal.

“Quiet, Red, this is not your hour yet. I still have ten more ticks.”

“Ten, nine, eight —“

“Wait, no! Stop, I haven’t finish –“

“Five, four, three —“

“Remember your brave Blue Paladin for the hero he was! He went down fighting the mighty old fashioned Mullet —!“

“Blue! Leave my mullet out of your monologue!”

Shiro sighs and rubs the bridge between his nose as Pidge cackles while reading through the station official’s Twitter. The show went on a commercial pause, cutting off the bickering of the broadcasters, and it has been around three minutes since the Live Light went off and yet both broadcasters are still wrestling for the microphone.

“I will not surrender!” Lance’s voice echoes in the MC, as he’s tries to push Keith’s hand out of his nose and cheek, which only makes Keith to press it further, “Voltron will live on!”

“You ass! I’m part of Voltron!” complains Keith, equally trying to get Lance’s hand out of his face by slapping him.

Pidge’s amber eyes glanced for a second towards the digital clock above the glass window of the cabin presses the Speaker button, “Hate to interrupt your Love Quarrel,” she ignores Lance’s shout of indignation, “but Lance, finish your make out session already and go to class, it starts in ten minutes.”

“I’m defending my honor, Pidge!”

“Defend it on the way to class, moron. Let's go!”

“Fine.” He grunts out, slapping Keith’s hands out of his personal bubble, “Just because Mullet keeps clogging up my pores.”

Keith rolls his eyes and squeaks when Lance ruffles his hair as he walks behind him. “Hey!” he shouts, glaring up at the brunet.

Keith tries to remember to breathe when Lance laughs and flashes him a toothy grin and throws him a peace sign over his shoulder. “See ya later, Mullet, don’t bore the audience to death with your conspiracy theories!”

It’s Lance’s turn to dodge the already broken microphone.

“I saw that one, Keith,” echoes Shiro’s voice around the RC, “and it's on you this time.”

“We have wireless headphones that are linked by Bluetooth, Shiro, we don’t really need microphones anymore!” Keith complains, pointing at his own headphones to make an emphasis, and at his brother’s unamused look Keith groans and waves his hand in the air, giving him permission to start his hour.

Shiro chuckles as he takes seat on Pidge's chair and presses the Live button, sending Keith a thumps up which the Korean broadcaster mirrors with a smile.

“My fellow conspiracy theorists, welcome to another one of our session, it’s the Red Paladin speaking,” Keith starts off, falling into his usual opening line with ease as he relaxes and leans back on his rolling chair, flipping through his notebook, “Do I have some juice for you today, guys. Have you ever heard about the Mothman?”

“His conspiracy theory of the week should be: ‘Is Klance real or a myth?’” Pidge murmurs under her breath, making Shiro laugh.

“Go do your homework, Miss Holt, just because you have online courses doesn’t mean you’re excused to miss deadlines.”

Pidge groans as she takes out her laptop from her bag and makes herself comfortable on the couch of the MC, typing away with Keith’s theories as background noise.

Once Lance enters the MC and gathers his stuff, she waves him goodbye, and Pidge smiles when he waves back at her with a bright smile and with a quick look, she can see the screen of his phone, letting her see the Radio App open.

She has an idea on what he might be listening to.

Young Justice Season 3 Part 2 review

I’ve been meaning to get around to this once I finished the second part of the 3rd season of Young Justice. I thought this was pretty good overall. I thought the show was pretty well handled. The stuff with the Outsiders was not as bad as it could’ve been. Granted I feel that whenever writers try to do social media to be hip with the kids they fuck it up. Here it’s not so bad but there’s a few cringy moments. When you have people posting clips of themselves online saying, “We are Outsiders.” It was a little bit cringy. Also, there’s that episode when the Outsiders go on their first mission in that town. Is it me or was that town meant to be a reference to Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated. The mayor looks like the mayor from the show and the sheriff looks and sounds like the sheriff from that show as well.

Violet was a nice character though at times I found her a little bit annoying. I don’t know I guess it’s something about her voice? Maybe they tried to make her character the endearing sweet one but over did it? Brion starts off agressive but matures over time. I’m going into spoiler territory now. I do like how they did their own take on the Judas arc. In the comics there’s a famous teen titans story arc called the Judas Contract where Terra becomes a Titan and betrays the team to Deathstroke in the long run so he can complete his contract with the HIVE. Since they introduced Terra in this show I wondered how they were going to do that. Instead in this show it turns out the team knew she was working for Deathstroke and allow her a chance to redeem herself and Brion ends up betraying the team by having his royal advisor prey upon his emotions. Seriously, though that scene at the end where he asks Violet to join him made me think of Revenge of the Sith a lot. I’m now imagining Violet as Padme, Brion as Anakin and Connor as Obi Wan and they do the whole Mustafar dialogue. I thought it was an interesting take. It is funny though how in most portrayals Terra is portrayed as sympathetic when in the original comic she was completey psychotic and irredeemable.

I do like how they inflict a pretty big blow to Luthor and the Light, but the Light still manages to make a win out of it. It gets annoying seeing that and I get that’s how Greg Weisman writes his villains but it gets annoying seeing them pull a keikaku doori all the time. I’m still bugged with how they let M’gan off the hook for mind-raping people in season 2. There’s still some tension with her and Connor about it but it always bugged me how they gave her a slap on the wrist. I imagine if M’gan was male a lot more people would be complaining. Overall, it was nice to see the old gang back together and some of the new heroes are pretty good too. I do hope they show more of Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain.

That being said there are a few things that bug me. I think they overuse Khary Payton as a voice actor a lot. He does a lot of the voices on the show and it becomes very noticeable. I think he is a good voice actor I just think they needed some variety with the voices. Also, Luthor is now a Trump allegory apparently. It seems jarring since when Luthor normally talks he’s calm and sophisticated but, when he has to say a Trump line it just comes off as so weirdly stupid. Another thing I thought was odd was that Violet is apparently non-binary? If they want to do that okay I guess but they don’t do anything with it. If you don’t do anything with it what’s the point? Forager felt annoying when he was Fred Bugg. I don’t know I didn’t like his voice and how he repeated things so often. The last minor thing that bugged me was how Big Barda is portrayed. She’s portrayed like a dumb brute which isn’t how she is in the comics. She’s a warrior but not stupid. I don’t know maybe that will change when she leaves Darkseid. Despite all that it was a decent series and I’m curious with what they do with Season 4.
