#hopefully laura doesn't hate me

[zanniscaramouche]

No one can claim that I'm fast, but hey! I finally had a moment to sit down and find some fics for a lovely anon who wandered into my inbox looking for classical musician!larry. A few of these are a little bit of a stretch, but hopefully there's something here you enjoy! You'll see little blue hearts along with a lil comment from me on those I have read (admittedly not that many, oops) This is definitely an AU I'd love to see more fic for! It's possible there's more out there, alas it doesn't seem to be commonly tagged. Make sure to tag your fics folks! It makes filtering for things like this so much easier! 💙

🎼 the school of extraordinary lovers // stylinsoncity @stylinsoncity - 191k "We keep telling the other, I love you and I love you, and we do, though we both know where the knives are." - Laura Van Prooyen

harry is a third-year witch and violinist at Laitswold, the only magical academy in the UK, with dreams of taking on the world, and hopefully breaking the centuries-old curse on his family while he's at it. he does not dream of facing off against his childhood rival and duet partner, but louis is back in town after six years abroad, so that's exactly what happens.

🎼 Love Is A Rebellious Bird // 100percentsassy, gloria_andrews - 134k AU in which the boys still make music. Louis is the concertmaster of the London Symphony Orchestra, Harry is the New! and Exciting! interim conductor/ex-cello prodigy who "has made Mozart cool again" according to Esquire Magazine (Louis hates him immediately, which is definitely why he internet stalked him in his dark bedroom late at night that one time), and Niall is the best. Zayn and Liam are around too.

Don't hum Bolero.

💙 zannithinks: one of those 'classics' that many love! I really enjoyed this fic, and as someone who hears Bolero every year at a local festival I think of this fic often

🎼 Saving Symphony Hall // HelloAmHere @helloamhere - 124k “I think I have an idea,” Louis said. Slowly, and reluctantly, but with a growing sense of the inevitable. “God damnit, I think I have a really good idea.”

“Oh christ, that's the problem-solving face,” Babs said. “Last time we saw that face, he sold a company.”

“Wait, what?” Zayn asked.

“Right place, right time,” Louis said. “Also, fuck my life,”

“What?” Zayn repeated. Niall patted his hand.

“I usually just roll with whatever Louis is about to do,” he said. “It’s better for us all.”

“That’s the attitude,” said Louis, “I’ll tell you tomorrow. Tonight, I need to do some research. Zayn, give me your number. I’m gonna save our symphony.”

💙 zannithinks: I looooove this one! A well developed world and lovable OC's, this is definitely the first fic I think of when I think Larry and Classical Music

🎼 Where Words Fail, Music Speaks // Larry_you_know @larryyouknow - 45k Louis is a world class violinist. He’s one year over forty, living his best life in New York. One day, he comes to a small town in Connecticut where he inherited a house from his late father. The town looks nice and its people welcome him warmly. The problem is that Louis never knew his father and he doesn’t intend to change anything about it - his father can stuff his last will up his treacherous ass. In a strange coincidence, Louis meets town troubadour Harry, who seems wonderful to him just right until he reveals that Louis’ father was like a dad to him.

Even though Louis tries to convince himself that it shouldn’t - it hurts.

🎼 Until You Remember // Throwthemflowers - 21k Talented London pianist Louis Tomlinson moves to a small coastal town to escape the elites of his job and the mundanity of his life. Through the music of Debussy he finds a charming, wonderful friend in Harry Styles, the fiancé of the town's mayor. Louis thinks his pining is in vain until he discovers that all may not be as it seems….

🎼 And I'll Be Here When Only the Silence Remains // louisniall @louisniaii - 19k The one where Louis is a top notch mute violinist and Harry might just be the person he trusts most

🎼 Back to the Sign, and Play Through the End // tomlinsunshine - 17k Louis is a globally renowned pianist; Harry is the worst page turner this world has ever known.

🎼 Take more of my space, why don't you? // otfuckingp - 10k Of course, the universe is not on Louis’ side, nor on the side of his mental health. Just as he starts to think they might get away with this empty seat -- yes, they. He and Instrument Man are in this together, a united front against the forces of any more people-- one more person steps onto the plane. He bypasses the first fifteen rows without so much as a falter, but the fact that he slows around 17 gives Louis pause. There aren’t many empty seats in this section... Surely not. Surely the universe wouldn’t be so cruel as to do this to him.

And then there’s another body landing in the seat next to Instrument Man. Well, “landing” might be too polite. Crashing, is more like it. Within the first ten seconds, he’s elbowed instrument Man in the side, dropped something on the floor, and nearly tripped a stewardess with the exuberant flailing of his legs. All in all, completely shattering the tentative silence in row 21 DEF. Fuck.//

Harry and Louis meet on a plane. Louis is not impressed, until he is.

🎼 What is simple in the moonlight, never really is. // judgementdays @judgementdays - 5k And then they're talking, like they always do on late nights. They talk about the future, about the cute girl who was checking Harry out at Tesco's, about the cute boy who asked for Louis' number the other day. They mostly end up talking about their auditions for the school of their dreams, though.

or

Louis plays piano and Harry plays guitar and they're both trying to get into Juilliard but feelings sort of happen.

🎼 Play Me Something Sweet // nonsensedarling @absolutenonse - 4k “Hey, I’ve got an idea,” Louis says. Harry just looks at him and lifts an eyebrow in silent question. “How about if you pretend I’m your cello as you try it out, like we used to?” Or Harry's good at a lot of instruments, but his favorite one to play is Louis.

💙 zannithinks: this one is spicey!!!!

🎼 And I've got something missing tonight. // whisperedbrave @louistomlindaughter - 2k That night, much like many others, he finishes his dinner and falls asleep to the sound of his neighbor and his piano.

-

or the one where Harry's upstairs neighbor plays the piano every night. one night he stops and Harry can't sleep.

Who is your favorite Woman in White character and who not so fave

Not favourite as in I like her and want to spend time with her, but favourite as in I'm going to read every Google Scholar article I can find on her once the book is done: Mrs Catherick. What a fascinating, horrible, chewy, plausible character she is. Some of Collins' characters are thinly drawn, others are stereotypes, but Mrs Catherick is so fully realised that I could practically smell her living room.

Not so fave... I hate to say it but it's really getting to be Walter. I know he can't help being a man in the 1850s but I'm afraid I'm going to hold it against him anyway. I was particularly unimpressed with the bit in today's entry where he talks about how he fancies loves Laura again now she doesn't look as "prematurely aged". He's annoying me without even having the consideration to be interesting about it. Hopefully that might change before the end of the novel.

New year, new TBR list! But this year I've decided to be more reasonable about it (if that's even possible). I set another reading challenge on Goodreads for 50 books but unlike last year, I already have a few books that I would like to read.

The first part of my TBR list consists of books that are catching dust on my shelves for a long time and I would very much like to finally get to them:

1. Colleen Hoover - It Ends With Us

This book is constantly popping up on my Instagram. The overall controversy surrounding this book is probably the main reason why it's the first book on the list.

2. John Wray - The Lost Time Accidents

I have honestly no idea how this book ended up in our household. It's not a genre I usually read but I like to explore other genres so be it.

3. Laura Bates - Men Who Hate Women

I've already read a few chapters but since it's not an easy topic to read about, I have to take breaks from it. But even from those few chapters I was able to learn a lot and the world kind of makes... more sense.

4. Richard Osman - The Man Who Died Twice

Who doesn't want to read about seniors solving a crime? Twice?

5. Sarah Hogle - You Deserve Each Other

Okay, I know how I got this one. It was in a hurry in front of the cashier who said I can take one book from a selection of books on sale. And this one captured my attention. It still has my attention two years later after it sat untouched on my nightstand.

6. Lucinda Riley - The Seven Sisters

My mom loves this series. And she says I'll love it too.

7. Harlan Coben - Long Lost

I have the French translation so it will be a different kind of challenge. But I love Harlan Coben's books so hopefully, a different language won't stop me.

8. Christian Jacq - Ramsès

Again, it's in French. I'm taking my French class very seriously.

9. James Nestor - Breathe

I love educational books with a touch of personal history.

10. Elizabeth Gill - Nobody's Child

This is probably a book that I have the longest from those I mentioned in the list. I got it from a relative when I finally had enought courage to read in English.

11. Gail Honeyman - Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine

I loved the format of this book and the pages feel like a cushion.

As you can see, there are eleven books on this list. I plan to read one book from this list a month so it's not overwhelming and that I can still read new books or books from the library (a list of those will be published shortly after this one). I also want to dive more into these books because sometimes I read one and then jump onto the next one which is not sustainable for a very long time. So I will be posting a short review for every book I read.

Word counts : 1328

No warning for this really

Also I’m sorry this is so bad , I just needed a filler and wanted a small snippet and G and Hann then some sibling love , so this is just really random

BUT HOPEFULLY THERES ONE MORE CHAPTER LEFT THEN THE BOYS WILL BE TOGETHER I KNOW THATS WHAT EVERYONE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR

"When can I come see you?", We'd come off of the call a few hours ago as my dad had come home, we'd kept in contact all day though because I didn't want to leave him. I know he's been sat with his mum and brother since and he seems to be doing alright. He told me they all made dinner together and that he'd actually eaten something which is also really good.

Matty: Darlin, you can come whenever you'd like, when do your holidays start ?

I'm currently sat basically hanging out of my window with a joint in my hands, feeling like I just want to hold him. I've been thinking about it since he told me earlier and the more I think about it the more I just need to be there. I've given myself a headache thinking about it which is quite funny really. The joint is helping calm my nerves a little

George : I'm sure they start next week but you've got exams for the next month, I don't want to distract you?

I hate the feelings that I'm having right now, I've never really been a clingy person. When I'm with people I know then maybe I am , but just maybe. With Matty everything is different I don't quite understand what that means. I was never this clingy with Laura and we dated for so long. It makes my head swim, why is this so different to everything I've ever experienced before. Maybe this is what other people feel when there in love, you know how they describe it in this corny romance movies. This is maybe how Adam feel with Carly. I should ask him.

I pull up Adam's contact and press the call button waiting fidgeting with my lighter while I wait for him to pick up

Adam: Hiya G , you alright ?

George: Alright Hann, yeh I'm alright, I just really need to talk to you about something

Adam:  What's up G?

George : I need to ask you something but promise you won't take the piss okay?

Adam: When do I ever?

George: Never, but like I'd understand if you did with what I'm about to ask you

Adam: Just ask me G

George: Alright fine , you know before you got with Carlz how did you feel , like how did you know you liked her.

Adam: I don't know , I just liked her didn't I , like she was just always around and she made me happy I suppose

George: Did you ever feel like you wanted to be with her like all the time and just like I don't know , like feel emotional when she was upset or something even though wasn't your place too.

Adam: G I love you bro but I really don't know what your getting at, what are you trying to ask me?

George: Arghhh fuck

I wrack my hands through my hair and my nails scrape against my skull as I lightly pull on my roots like I'm trying to pull my thoughts from my brain

George: I'm just trying to understand what's going on in my head, I really really like Matty and I feel like I'm being so clingy and annoying and too much but ....I don't know if it's because I'm overthinking it because I like him or if it's because I just wish I could help him.

Adam: Why is being clingy a bad thing , and why is wanting to help him a bad thing?

George : I just don't want to be too much Ad !

Adam: Has the lad said your being too much ? Cuz if he hasn't then I'm sure everything is fine

George: No he hasn't said anything about being annoyed at me or anything but ....that doesn't mean he isn't , I just really like him ..... and like what if I get to much and when he's upset or something and it messes things up.

Adam: G, please trust me on this , I'm sure your doing an amazing job, okay!?

George: I'm trying to trust you, my heads just all over the place right now Hann, that's all

Adam: Give yourself a break man !,

George : I'll really try , but uh yeh I'm just gunna go now I've got stuff to do and gotta look after Gracey and Lucie , Thanks man , I know I'm being difficult but thank you!!

Adam: It's alright G , love ya man

“Geor !!!!!” Little Gracie came barging into my room just as I was finishing the call with Adam “there’s a spider in the bathroom Geo, fix it !!!”, I then say a quick goodbye to Adam again before hanging up and pick Gracey up holding her on my waist “there’s a Spider , is there ?”

“Yeh it’s so big, it’s like this big”, she indicates the size by stretching her arms out.

“Wow that is gigantic ay?” , I can just see her nodding with her little blonde ringlets bouncing. And she’s clinging to me as we make our way to the bathroom. “Can you show me where it is Gracey?”

“No no no , I don’t want to see it again, it’s just in there”, I let Gracey climb down from me as she stands at the bathroom door pointing at where she saw the creature “right there Geo”

After finding the perpetrator and setting it free outside obviously because you can’t kill it , no matter how scared you are of the things you can’t kill them according to little Gracey “it’s just mean to kill them” , even though she didn’t want to see it skittering around she had to check the tissue in my hand for evidence that I “hadn’t crushed it with my tree trunk hands”

Lucie had joined us at this point coming to see what all the commotion was about “what are you guys up too” , stood at the front door, homework in hand , looking like the proper little Miss that she is. “Is that a Spider ?”

“Yeah, Gracey was scared so I’m just setting it free”

“Why are you scared of it Gracey , it’s just an insect , even though your just little you’re bigger than it is so you would be more scary to it then you are if it?”

“When did you get so smart ay, your both so grown up , when did that happen”

“I’m 7 George , I’m a big girl now , but Gracey is only 5 she’s not a grown up yet”, Lucie is genuinely so grown up and would literally do everything by herself if she could , so grown up , short brown hair that used to be likely Graceys blonde ringlets. Blue eyes which is weird because we all have brown eyes. Shes even quite tall for her age, nearly tallest in her class. She’s so independent, knows so much about everything and anything. Where as Gracey just a little bundle of clingy and joyous giggles ; she looks up to me big time not the blow my own whistle but she wants to be just like me. There both so damn intelligent though.

“That’s very true Luce , let’s get back inside yeh , Gracey you can watch TV and I’m going to help Luce with her homework okay?”

“Oki Geo”

“George I don’t need help, it’s just reading”

I hurdle them back inside after closing the door, I set up CBeebies up on the TV for Gracey and pull Lucie up in my lap as we sit down, she does thrash around a little trying to get me off her but she settles “I know it’s just reading Luce, but I want to see how good you can read it can you do that for me?”

“You know I can George”

WWR

The Talk™️

lololol just kidding sorry Laura I love you here’s the real thing just in time 😘😘

We start with Ellie being veeeeery sus 👀 checking out Eastern Europe and the various countries, I mean yes there are plenty of nice, beautiful places there but this is a procedural aka obviously that area can only be shady. I also love that Nick came up silently and waited, watched what she was doing very intently, before announcing his presence. Almost like he’s been suspecting something is up with her for a little while now and seized on this perfect opportunity to do a little digging. But at the same time he doesn’t let it go on too long, and he almost gives her an out- he doesn’t accuse her of being shady AF, instead he’s like oh clearly she’s planning a trip because she’s always talked about loving Eastern Europe not the Bahamas like we’d just gotten jealous over a year ago…right, Ellie? A trip? And then her response ooo girl. She starts to get uber defensive and then realizes that oh wait, he handed me an out on a silver platter so yeah let me take it real quick. AND HE DOESN’T CALL HER ON IT. That’s the real good stuff in this scene- he’s a trained federal agent with years of undercover work, he can tell when someone is outright lying *especially* when that someone is Ellie. So he takes her defensive hesitation and than blatant lie and rolls with it. Beeeecause he trusts her. He trusts her to tell him when she’s ready. He saw how hurt she got when he kept bothering her after the kidnapping, and also saw her tell him once she was ready to. So yeah, he gets it now. He may be seriously concerned for her underneath that joking exterior, but he trusts her to tell him when the time is right, and also likely feels she wouldn’t keep anything huge huge from him. *cue getting ready for heartbreak in the finale it’s fine everything is fine*

Of course we move on to the flirty stuff because we avoid serious talk here 🙄 Ellie still sus though don’t get it wrong, shutting that laptop real quick when he rounds the corner taking no further chances. And her crossing her arms while he offends her choice of “vacation” hahaha she’s so obvious, honey you got the hots for him it’s ok. Little middle school flirting like oh yeah you can do better? Prove it jerk. And Niiiiiick 🥵 I wish you could see the screenshot I’m paused on right now after he says it depends on who he’s going with before he asks her who she’s going with because DAMN that look. He can think of one (1) person and one person only who he’d go on a trip with. Her little smirk back before she decides to throw all pretense to the wayside and says fuck it I don’t care that we’re in the bullpen out in the open lemme flirt with you ~*Agent Torres*~ AND HE’S LIKE TWO CAN PLAY AGENT BISHOP PLEASE INVITE ME ON YOUR TRIP THAT I KNOW DOESN’T EXIST BUT I’D LIKE TO KNOW I’D BE INVITED IF IT DID. And please her giddy smile afterwards and then she goes from leaning back in her chair to leaning forward towards him because these two are absolutely drawn to each other bitches and I can’t get enough of them and their little playful smiles and body language. AND NEITHER CAN JIMMY. 

Jimmy is the ellick fandom. Because yes, keep going this is ✨just delightful✨ and I never want it to stop unless you’re kissing. Thank you. And pleeeeease them stumbling over their words when they realized they’ve been caught I CANT. They both look *so* uncomfortable and it’s hilarious, and then Ellie can’t help but laugh at Nick’s dumb joke making fun of Jimmy because it’s her man and he’s so *funny*. 

Bring us to Jimmy redeeming himself. But also yes this just confirms to me that he told Nick what he needed to hear back when he said zero chemistry. And now Jimmy’s observed silently, see where Nick has come in the last year and everything the two have been through and knows he ready to hear it for real. Well Jimmy was ready a while ago for them to move it along so yeah he’s like where’s my spoon I’m gonna STIR THIS POT. And then it is born, the slogan of the episode, the point of the WWR (please don’t have PTSD Laura), The Talk™️. Nick’s face oooo man, he initially tries to deflect like no we aren’t talking about that cozy scene nuh uh and then it turns into his worst nightmare- being called out by James Palmer of all people with Ellie literally five feet away. (ALSO MCGEE IS LITERALLY A FOOT BEHIND THEM. He 1000% heard this entire conversation if Ellie heard it. Bro better not try to deny a single thing later I’m watching you sir 👀) Nick’s expression is screaming what the fuck shut UP Jimmy this can’t possibly be happening so let me try to joke and deflect again (small smile because it was still a little funny) and then back to what the fuck he’s undeterred shit shit shit oh thank god McGee has started talking yes we have a goddamn huge problem autopsy gremlin won’t take the damn hint. 

And woooooow the first time I’ve seen Nick at his desk in a while 👀👀 he said shit people are on to me let me put ✨space✨ in between us for like five seconds while we still shoot each other cute smiles. 

Oooooooh now we here for the evisceration. The Here Lies James Palmer moment of the episode. Catch me dYING in the club, not crying. Because holy shit Ellie this was not only brutal and Brian absolutely killed it during this scene with his reactions to Ellie ripping him apart. His “oh…Oh…oooh.” Had me cackling. And Ellie you are the poster child of defensive, pulling out all the stops. Let me deny everything, let me then be a slight hypocrite because people shouldn’t be talking about me (because I’m terrified about considering broaching that topic too) but I can talk about Gibbs and Sloane previously, and then also like sort of admitting to it by asking Jimmy what people think is going on because that’s the question she would *love* to know the answer to but hasn’t gotten yet. All the while cue me laughing hysterically at jimmy, top tier scene right here lets be honest. Because then Kasie comes in and it’s just perfect 🤣🤣🤣 this was his sister, Painful. Couldn’t have said it better myself Kasie 😭💀

Lol at McGee telling Ellie not to tell Nick he was right about it being a coincidence 😂

HOW CLOSE DO WE NEED TO STAND TOGETHER Y’ALL. HOW CLOSE. THERE’S A WHOLE GODDAMN BULLPEN. Remember when I said Nick wanted space for 5 whole seconds, yeah this is why. They’re straight magnets - drawn together indubitably 👀

Quick detour for the continued storyline of sus!Ellie and it makes me even more and more excited for the finaleeeeee. Because honey why do you know it takes 10 pounds of pressure to rip a trachea out and yes we all know it’s Odette and I can’t wait for the aaaaaangst. Also Kasie always coming in clutch with the humor, I live for it. “No you right I got nothing” 🤣🤣

Once again, Nick forgot about his desk, it was short-lived wasn’t it? 😅 

Now to another fun scene, and I feel like there’s a little double meaning to when Nick talks to Ellie about Phineas going through a lot this year, “more than most of us, which is saying a lot this year” - obviously covid but also maybe a callback to the kidnapping/jail cell stuff they dealt with?? Maybe?? Anyways, them being so awkward cute together because there’s a slight lull in the case so they revert back to their middle school selves, “so” “so…” I can’t with them omg. And then, and THEN of the two to bring it up, it’s Nick!!!! Yes!!! The GROWTH. This man used to be so emotionally closed off and now he, HE is bringing up The Talk™️ and he almost chickens out, he almost says haha you’re right we don’t have to have The Talk™️ after Ellie has a minor freakout because good god this girl is on *edge*. Her mind has probably been going a mile a minute the second she heard Jimmy call them out at the crime scene because she’s been living in blissful ignorance the past months/year whatever and now everything is smacking her in the face. But Nick, ugh I love the growth. He brushes it off and then has a moment where his face is like, no, no I’m not a wuss and he admits that yes he’s thought about it (the way he pauses when he says “not that it hasn’t been on my mind…us…” and I’m like yeah you two as a couple has been on your mind hasn’t it Nick 👀) and yes I want to have The Talk™️ with you Ellie Bishop. And not only does he admit this he’s also the one that’s like ok yeah cool BUT WHEN. Let’s nail this down please, I need it in my planner asap. And then she gets all giggly again “I don’t know when do *you* think?” Like omg I’m literally in middle school again. They’re so fucking cute and awkward it’s precious. Especially when they have to end their conversation and suddenly act normal when talking to McGee 😅😍 then they go separate ways and the look Ellie shoots Nick ahhhhhhh it’s almost like a let’s table this but also shit we really did half open that can of worms in the middle of a work day. Nick sighs and looks briefly to the sky like shit what did I do in a good way and bad way haha. 

Back to Kasie with the ✨iconic✨ lines I love herrrr. Ellie being sus again with being resistant to change. I can’t decide if she’s not only talking about the possibility of dating Nick (once again defensive because Kasie about came for her throat hahahah) but also maybe about whatever is going to go down with Odette 👀👀

HERE WE ARE. THE MOMENT WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR. Back to being cute little awkward idiots in love that need to have The Talk™️. I mean come on they’re trying so hard to avoid the actual talk and just dancing around it “so” “so” “talk a roo” “talk a reeno” excuse me what the fuck are you saying just SAY IT. And Nick is still ready and rearing to go but also wants to respect Ellie and give her space if needed so he offers to just agree The Talk™️ needs to be had. And of course she counters with “need is a strong word” because damn this girl is spiraling. She’s so terrified of the outcome of this talk she wants to deny it needs to exist but still she can’t help it at the end of the day. And Nick is still like ok BUT WHEN. I WANT TO TELL YOU I LOVE YOU AFTER YOU TELL ME YOU LOVE ME. SO LIKE WHEN ELLIE WHEN. And he once again plays off her deflection (a theme of this episode) with yeah yeah they’re super tired not at all wired just thinking about this talk that is at the tip of his tongue. At least Ellie is finally seeing the light and realizes that they should promise to have The Talk™️ but as she sits there staring at the elevator in front of her she’s like oh fuck, it can’t be soon can it. Fuck fuck fuck I can’t hold this in longer, we can’t keep dancing around it. fuck. So when Nick once again tries to press her to nail down a time she’s like well fuck it let’s do this shit now. Then she can’t realized that shit I actually said it, I actually said that. I said we should have The Talk™️ now. And Nick’s genuine surprise mirrors hers because she’s been the one half-denying The Talk™️ all day and now she wants to do this right here right now??? But at the same time he’s got a little smile to his face because he loves the idea of her being on board and finally getting this done. Finally getting to hear how she feels. 

So they walk into the elevator with a MUCH better vibe than the last time they walked in all serious at night (looking at you dumb Nick with Elena) but I guess the Elena Elevator Talk walked so the Ellie Elevator Talk could run 👀

And Nick while yes he’s ready for this shit to finally happen he’s still vulnerable, still terrified of opening himself up because he’s seen his dad (recently) and how commitment and relationships run in the family 🙄 plus this is all very new to him outside of Sofia and this is definitely not new to Ellie (Jake, qasim). He needs to hear she’s all-in too, needs to know he hasn’t built something up in his head for something serious when she views it as just a flirtation between friends. So he nervously says ladies first and while Ellie gives him a look of protest and wtf man, I think deep down she knows this is all so difficult for him despite how much he’s pushed it over the course of the day plus SHE is ready to get this out in the open. The moment she decided to stop denying and spiraling she went full force head on let’s talk about us. She hedges for a second and Nick continues to be nervous as she’s clearly building up her own nerve. Then she says probably the exact same moment he’s thinking of- or at least one of them- the jail cell. The defining, triggering moment that set this thing at full speed. He can’t believe she’s really saying the words, about to hear what he hopes is his feeling of that jail cell reciprocated in her words and his head turns quickly to look at her, unable to believe his ears that what he’s been dying for all along is going to happen. The Talk™️ is happening and damn it seems like it’s happening in the right direction. 

Of course we have no damn clue what was said and I’m jaded and don’t think they’ll ever tell us- RIP the note. BUT I’m so glad it actually happened (and the cinematographic parallels of course), a STEP towards canon!Ellick I’m fine. 

Now to see where they take this from here in the last two episodes and I can only hope an angst filled canon!Ellick because duh.

Out of all the Marvel shows to have come out this year, Hawkeye was definitely my favorite! Honestly, Clint was never my favorite Avenger (never hated the guy though, he was always just... there), but I think that changed after this. This show was so much fun, even more so than previous entries! The interactions between just about everyone was great, and there wasn't really a single moment I disliked, which is a first unless you count What If...?. With this episode specifically, I also liked how the antagonists all had their standards, but this, nor Eleanor helping Kate, doesn't do anything to diminish their actions. Especially when it comes to Eleanor. "Is this what heroes do? Arresting their mother on Christmas?" Please, bitch! I was kinda surprised Derek had been involved with Kingpin, though.

I loved all the fight scenes, so it's hard to choose one, but probably Jack's. I'm a sucker for swordfights and he's just a fun character in general! And when Kate used the trick arrows and later fought off Kingpin, this was me:

Also, can we get more Kate and Yelena interactions in the future? Their banter is great! And speaking of Yelena, I literally cried when Clint told her about Natasha. Any scene with the LARPers is fantastic and I really wouldn't mind if there was maybe some kind of sequel series with them and Kate (and possibly Yelena). Even a series of shorts would be great. I really felt bad for Maya though, but I'm looking forward to her series. And ngl, when the tree fell, my concern wasn't for Clint, but for the owl! Though I do kinda feel bad for the Tracksuits. Clint finally making it home was also really sweet. I also really liked the reveal of Laura apparently having once been Mockingbird.

Another thing I loved is how seemingly one-off jokes actually had pay-off, like Clint eventually wearing the suit and Tomas working things out with his girlfriend. And of course, we got the greatest post-credit scene ever! A perfect way to end the year! Again, I really would not mind an actual Avengers musical! I would seriously watch it!

Again, great series, great characters, hopefully future shows continue with this kind of quality content.

Lie About Us (Part 3)

Daniel Garcia x f/Reader

Just like all my other stories, this has not been proofread, but please enjoy.

Warnings: Some swearing.

Gifs & photos do not belong to me.

Main Masterlist ♡ AEW Masterlist ♡ Lie About Us Masterlist ♡ Daniel Garcia Masterlist ♡ Jon Moxley Masterlist

Summary: F/Reader is the daughter of Jon Moxley & starts to date Daniel Garcia. The only problem is, she hasn't told her father.

Daniel Garcia's POV:

"Who is she?" Eddie asked me.

Thankfully, an announcement came on saying we could board the plane. I stood up quickly and yelled back to the group that I didn't want to miss our flight.

I know they will ask me again but Y/N and I haven't told anyone yet. I know she is trying to figure out how to tell her Dad.

I sat down in my seat and silently groaned when Britt sat next to me. I completely forgot she had the seat next to me.

"So you gonna tell me who it is or will you try to run away again?"

"We have just started to date Britt. We want to make sure that we work out before we tell anyone."

"And you say we know her?"

"Yes."

"Does she work for AEW?"

"Did you hear what I said Britt?"

"I did and I promise I won't tell a single soul."

"Not even Austin." The two of us stared at one another and then she sighed. "Fine."

"Y/N."

"Y/N, as in the daughter of Jon Good? You are one brave man."

"I know. Jesse and Laura have said that to me as well."

"So tell me how it happened." So I told her.

"Do you know when she is going to tell him?"

I shook my head no. "Hopefully soon. She is flying out to meet me in New Orleans when we are there."

The conversation shifted and we changed the subject. I wondered what Y/N is doing right now. Probably just getting out of bed. She doesn't have to work until later.

Y/N'S POV:

I went back to bed almost immediately after I walked Daniel out. I had a few more hours of sleep until I had to get up and start my day.

I woke up to my phone ringing and saw it was my Dad. "Mornin' Dad."

"It is afternoon Y/N. Why are you still in bed this isn't like you?" I looked at the time and saw that he was right. It was almost 1:00 PM.

"Shit, I didn't mean to sleep this late."

"Long night pumpkin?"

"You can say that."

He was already at his hotel. He just got back from a meeting with Tony and Nick and seemed like he was in a good mood.

"Hey Dad, I got something I have to tell you."

"Yes, what is it?"

I took a deep breath. "I am seeing someone and you know him." Dead silence.

"Is he a wrestler?"

"Yes."

"Is he married or in a relationship with someone else?"

"Good lord Dad, no! It's Daniel!"

"Daniel Garcia? That little shit!"

"Be nice Dad."

"No, I won't allow it."

I actually laughed. "What is so funny?"

"Dad, I am old enough to date who I want too."

"You are still my daughter and I have to look out for you."

"Yes and you have done a wonderful job, but I am a grown up who can make her own choices."

"Look, I gotta go but we are not done talking about this young lady. Love you." And he hung up the phone.

Well this was a disaster. I thought as I rubbed my face with my hands.

Jon Moxley's POV:

My daughter is dating that little shit? He is so cocky and thinks he is the next big thing in wrestling.

I hated to end the phone call with her but I knew if I stayed on the phone with her, we would of got into a massive fight and I hate fighting with her.

I spent the rest of the day in my hotel room until it was time to head to the arena. I couldn't stop thinking about them together.

When did it happen? How did it happen? Where did they even meet? How long has it been going on for? I had so many questions.

My mood got worse and worse the closer I got to the arena. I found myself alone in the changing room and Eddie came in.

"Where you been man? You're not answering your phone."

"Found out that Y/N is seeing someone." I couldn't even say his name. I know, childish.

"Well that is good! She deserves to be happy." Eddie loves Y/N like she was his own. He was there for her whenever she needed him.

"It is Daniel." The smile left his face.

"Oh, well don't look at him then when you see him." I was confused.

"Why?"

"Well...his neck is covered in hickies and his back has scratches all over it."

Deep breaths Jon. Your daughter is grown up and can do what she wants.

But my thoughts changed to, she is your little girl. Your princess. How dare he touch her!

"I am going to kill him!"

FRUITS BASKET S3 EPISODE 8 RECAP AKA THE KYORU CHRONICLES PART 2 (plus a quick recap of eps 3-7)

aaaaaaAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! I gotta get it out of me otherwise I won't be able to concentrate on work and I will be scrolling through the tag till the day I die. Everything from episode 3 of Season 3 literally hit me like an avalanche - literally cos I marathoned 3-7 over the weekend which I wouldn't advise unless you want an accelerated heartbeat - and I'm starting to realise... maybe I just wasn't ready for season 3. Despite asking for it, haha. Not gonna put as many screencaps for this one cos tumblr editing bay be trippin and I just don't have time nor emotional energy to be fighting with the picture uploads, sorry lol

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Episodes 3 - 7

I spoke before about how (despite my feelings about the characters) the English dub VAs for Akito and Shigure pair up really well audibly. And I think I feel the same way about both Yuki and Machi's English VAs! They both have the same soft spoken yet scratchy element to their voices almost like they are holding slightly back. Although, I'd argue that Yuki has been losing the element of slightly holding back as the anime has gone on which I wonder if the same would be included for Machi's performance?

I really like the presentation of Machi's trauma through her family's expectations to be perfect and how physical it is? How Yuki kind of encourages her to let it out in a healthy way? (Btw the whole chalk breaking scene in the meeting was SO FUCKING SMOOTH. YUKI IS A NERD BUT HE IS SO EFFORTLESSLY COOL A LOT OF THE TIME)

The age gap between Isuzu and Haru for sure isn't the worst age gap in this anime/manga but it's still a bit... hmm...

Episode 4:

In all seriousness, I know Akito deserves some sympathy but it doesn't change the fact that I still see her as a villain. Hurt people hurt people but it doesn't mean they should get away with it, I was honestly pleased Haru got that big confrontation with Akito to tell her WHAT'S WHAT but it was also somewhat... merciful?

Hiro's growth has been so beautiful to see, him realising there are bigger things than him from the event with Rin to his relationship with Kisa to then the birth of his little sister.

Kureno choosing to get his hands a little dirtier and paying the ultimate price for it (as far as we know so far in the anime lol) was great, he is the moon side of Tohru's sunshine.

Shigure... I still don't really get him and Akito's relationship. It's clear he's waiting for Akito to grow the fuck up but at the same time he's not creating an environment for her to grow and develop. He's decided to go with the 'tough love' route which I'm still deciding whether I like it or not tbh. Sometimes it feels necessary, at other times it feels shitty. I respect that he knows he's a scumbag and I don't deny that there are people out there who take revelry in the fact that they are awful but at the same time, him remaining unchanging despite everything feels... unrealistic. But considering throughout this story he doesn't seem affected by trauma, it's understandable, I guess?

Also... that scene where Shigure ponders about whether he should've been with Tohru is THE creepiest creeper shit he's EVER done in this series. No. 🙅🏾‍♀️

Momiji is best bunny boi regardless of how tall and 'manly' he becomes. 🐰His scene with Akito was so authentically him and he really did that shit. We love him. <3

I love the way that the curse breaking should (on surface) be a happy event considering all the trauma the zodiac went through because of it but it's presented mostly as loss as well as happiness. It's the realness of getting out of a bad relationship

Shigure basically laying it out to Tohru how Kyo means nothing in a very taunting way was an excellently painful scene and I choose violence. It was heartbreaking seeing how worthless they all saw Kyo compared to how Tohru saw him but... by this point I was just living in the pain so 🤷🏾‍♀️

The story visually showing how Isuzu is more willing to be soft after her whole ordeal through her fashion choices (e.g. the pastels, the cardigans) was really nice. And Haru being happy about Isuzu making friends with Tohru was cute!

It was nice we saw that Kazuma was still wary about whether Tohru loved Kyo for the right reasons, you'd assume after everything Kazuma would love Tohru as a match for Kyo but he's so emotionally intelligent and also just a protective Dad! Yay, good parenting!

Tohru's confession to loving Kyo was amazing however I still adore Kyo's confession a little bit more. Just a bit. Lol. However, if you add the moment later in episode 8 it trumps it completely. Ethereal goddess.

Kyo and Tohru's grandfather having a scene together was great and nice

Now that I think about it, I wish there was more a visual link in the story between Tohru adapting her speech to imitate her Dad and Momiji adopting his Mum's German accent. Albeit for slightly different reasons, it just adds to the unique connection Tohru and Momiji have. In short, I'm seeing this ship with my third eye now. I get it lol

I don't wanna screencap the scene where Kyo is haunted by both his deceased mother and deceased Kyoko and potentially deceased Tohru because it's the stuff of nightmares. But, it was a wonderfully done scene. You definitely understand fully and clearly why Kyo buried all of that trauma under his hatred for Yuki (I CAN'T WAIT FOR EPISODE 9, YOU GUISE!)

If Akito is a villain, Ren is the final boss. Although, with her type of villainy... I feel like I can kind of enjoy a bit more. She reminds me of a Greek God in the ways she master manipulates people and her desperation for control and power (I just read 'Mythos' by Stephen Fry, it's a great read lol)

It lowkey feels like every female character who's comfortable in expressing their sexuality in this story is punished in some way for it... this is an incomplete thought

Shigure as a child feeling like they should all be pitied is so... mature... I feel like I need more of an explanation for why Shigure is the way he is

Akito's ego death with Kureno? Amazing. I loved that she was at least aware enough to realise how Kureno had been coddling her all this time but again... doesn't excuse her crimes

But anyways...

EPISODE 8

Honestly? I really don't have much to say about this episode besides 3-5 points I wanna get out of my head. It's not a bad thing at all, it's just that there's still a lot left to play out from this 'arc' and this season in general that I wanna complete my thoughts on.

But I'll start with this:

Lol, isn't it funny?! Isn't it heart-wrenchingly funny how the relationship between Kyo and Tohru has kinda reverted back to how they were at the start of the series? The coldness of Kyo at the beginning of this episode (and throughout) was a bit of a gut punch considering all the light and fluffy moments that we've gotten between the two since the True Form arc.

Talking about the True Form arc, I feel like this episode is somewhat a repeat of the same emotions, same trials of the True Form arc. Kyo still 'runs away like he always has' but this time we get him being the most honest and confrontational with his own emotions and trauma than he ever has been during the course of this whole story. While trusting someone (Tohru specifically) for the first time with the whole truth of his story! He always seems to move one step forward and then three steps backwards and while it's a tad bit frustrating, it feels very... real. I'll probably complete my feelings how this arc reflects the True Form arc when we finish this section of the story in future episode(s).

Considering the fact that 80% of this episode is Jerry Jewell monologuing as Kyo and I never got bored really just sells his performance. Kyo was being incredibly cold this episode and yet the range of emotions through his performance made it feel understandable enough for you to empathise with it.

BrattyKid!Kyo to lighten the mood 😹I still wish he and Hiro had more of a relationship, I feel like they could have taught each other a lot. Well... mostly Kyo teaching Hiro tbh

Kyo rejecting Kyoka for her honesty and kindness and then later rejecting Tohru? Oh... kid...

Wow, I felt so good about that whole episode of Kid!Yuki helping Kid!Tohru get home and then it's slightly soured knowing KID!KYO was running about the streets alllll night into the morning?!?! I really did feel Kyo's frustration at not getting that win to actually do something right. And the irony of that being linked to him being unable to save Kyoka from the oncoming car?

Honestly, I don't know what my feelings are on Kyo being unable to save Kyoka. I don't even know what my feelings are on Tohru pretty much pushing that aside in favour of her feelings for Kyo. It's... complicated and I've been mulling it over in my head for the last 10+ years hahah However, if I was in Tohru's position I think I'd eventually come to a point where it feels like it's too late to really do anything about how bad I'd feel about it. Kyo's intentions weren't horrid, if anything he was just being a scared kid and he's allowed to be that. I just wish Tohru had a bit more time to evaluate it but considering she knew her mother well and assumes that wouldn't have been the full scope of what she had said, I don't have much of a problem with it in general

Lol, I love when Tohru gets a 'FUCK YOU, I LOVE YOU' moment with Kyo. 😂Another reflected scene from the True Form arc... only thing is that this time... it doesn't quite work. 😕

(Again, I love how all of these reflections are resolved in later occurences in response to the duality but I'll get to it next week when it shows hopefully)

Laura Bailey only had a few sentences in this episode but she killed it as always. Comparing her performance in 2001 to now is just... growth!

Ok, so Yuki automatically gets Best Boi in this episode for meddling and chasing after KYO of all people. Showing how he's personally done with hating Kyo. Realising Kyo is pretty much the only person who'll make his mother happy. I think he also lowkey wants to understand Kyo? But, we'll get to that next week.

....Oh yeah, Akito is there.

--------------------------------------------------------------

In total, I liked this episode even though it has me anxious for the next one. We finally get the full picture of why Kyo is the way he is! Ahhhh - a weight off all our chests, I'm sure. I kinda don't like that they put the ending theme at the end of these episodes - the joyfulness doesn't really match up with the intense theme? But, that's just a minor gripe. And hey, maybe they just want the audience to know... it's all gonna be okay :)

See you next week!!!

[give-her-hell-from-us-pevees]

Can you do a Antonio Dawson x reader where the reader is a doc at med and when Eva comes to stay with Antonio Laura finds out that you've moved in together, and Eva's bonding with the reader and is so happy to have a mother figure cause Laura's been neglecting her since before the divorce, and Laura tells the reader she doesn't like them and the reader responds "I don't like you either, get over it."

One day soon

After Antonio and his team found Eva after she was kidnapped, you met them at Chicago med. You were already working in the ED when Maggie told you they were about to roll up to the ed in the ambo. You outside and saw Antonio jumping out of the back on the Ambo and Eva strapped to a gurney. Natalie went out with you and started to to help Eva, “Y/N she’s practically your daughter, you know you can’t be her doctor” she said.

“Just take care of her please.” You say. Natalie nodded her head as Eva was rolled into trama 3. You waited outside the room with Antonio while they were working on her, giving her ex rays and treating her wounds. 

“Where did you find her?” You ask Antonio 

“Laying on the floor of a crack house” 

You wrapped your arms around Antonio and turned your head to look at Eva, “She’s going to be okay baby. She’s a strong girl’

Antonio buried his head into your neck, “I hope so Y/N. I can’t lose my baby girl” 

 After her test were done, they moved Eva upstairs. You and Antonio sat besides her bed. You were so lucky to work with Natalie, Will and Ethan since they told you they would keep an eye out for your patients so you could be with them.  Eva’s meds were finally kicking in and she was able to get some sleep. “Come on let’s go get some coffee, stretch your legs,” You tell Antonio. “But-,” “She’s sleeping baby. It’s okay.”

You got up from your chair and and held your hand out for Antonio to grab. He looked at Eva one last time, nodded his head and got up from his chair. The two of you made your way out of Eva’s room, as you were walking down the hall towards the elevator you saw Antonio’s ex wife. 

“What are you doing here?” she asked you.

“Um I work here? And I’ve been with Eva” you tell her.

“Just because you work here doesn’t mean you can see my daughter”

“No but living with her does. I know Eva hasn’t talked to you for months, why are you here?” 

“She’s in the hospital!” Laura exclaimed.

“As far as I’m concerned,you are dead to her Laura. She doesn’t care about you anymore, you aren’t her mom. You gave up your rights as a mother when you chose your boyfriend over her.”

You saw one of the security officers, Bert, coming over to you. “Dr. Y/L/N, Detective Dawson, is there a problem?” he asked the two of you.

“Officer Bert, do you mind escorting this lady to the door? I fear she is going to cause emotional distress to my patient.” you tell him.

Bert knows Eva wasn’t your patient but Laura didn’t.

Bert bit his lip to hide his smile, “Of course Doctor. Ma’am if could follow me please.”

Laura was in disbelief as she was guided to the elevator. You and Antonio watched her enter the elevator, she turned around to look at you, “I hate you. Rot in hell Y/N”

“It’s okay I don’t like you either sweetheart. Have a nice day” 

and the elevator closed. You looked up at Antonio, “Thanks for stepping in there bud.” you tell him

“I thought you handled it pretty well baby” Antonio said. You rolled your eyes and looked at one of the near by nurses. “If she tries to come up and see my daughter, notify security immediately please.” you tell her.

“Yes Doctor.”

You and Antonio finally got down to the cafeteria to grab your coffee. “You really are great with Eva.” He tells you.

“well I do try”

“She loves you. She looks up to you so much.I’m glad she has you. Hopefully one day soon you’ll be her real mom” 

You smile at your boyfriend, “I would love that one day.”

Jealous

Family Ties

The girls got up the next morning to make breakfast. Their outing the night before got cut when Carlito didn't want Haleigh and Tia to go even though thirty minutes later he ran off to the game room with Ardian and Koda.

"Is everything done for the wedding, Tia?" Haleigh asked.

"Yeah everything is done. I've just gotta have a few small alterations done to my dress. And hopefully your brother has done everything I asked him to do."

Haleigh laughed. "I'm gonna say he has. Did you also tell Milo what needed to be done?"

"Girl," she laughed. "You know I did. I can't trust Koda to do important shit by himself. Learned that lesson awhile ago."

Haleigh turned her attention to Tianna, "Are you dating anyone?"

"Nope. Been single for almost a year now."

"There's nothin wrong with that," Haleigh shrugged. "You'll find someone."

Tia excused herself to go to the bathroom leaving then to talk. Tianna waited until she heard the door close.

"I've already found him."

"Oh really? Are you going to bring him to the wedding?" Haleigh asked tilting her head.

"He'll be there but he won't be at yours," Tiana smirked.

"And why's that?"

"Because there won't be one. We all know that you don't deserve Ardian. Your virgin ass wouldn't know what to do with a dick if it slapped you in the face."

"And I guess you would know with all those dicks you sucked in high school, huh?"

Tianna chuckled. "And I would've gotten to Ardian had Laura not been so selfish with the dick."

"You just don't quit, do you? We're grown now, accept that you and him aren't happening. Not now, not ever, Tianna. Or do I need to beat it into you?"

"Try it."

"Don't tempt me, Tianna. I'm trying to be nice because of your sister."

Tianna rolled her eyes. She was tired of laying nice with Haleigh, she didn't like her in school and she doesn't like her now.

A shirtless Ardian slid his feet as entered the kitchen rubbing at his eye. His pajama pants hung loosely from his hips. Completely ignoring Tianna, Ardian rounded the island to wrap his arms around Haleigh burying his face in her neck. Haleigh laughed as he kissed her neck repeatedly. Tianna watched the couple with her face tore up. She always hated how affectionate he was with Haleigh then turned around and was so cold to her and any other girl who tried to talk to him.

"Good morning, Ardi," she said wrapping her arms around him.

He lifted his head and kissed her lips a few times. "Morning, Pig Tails. You alright?"

"Yeah. You sleep good?"

He nodded moving his hands from her waist to her ass, squeezing it. "Until I woke up and you were gone. But it's okay cause you cooked."

Haleigh rolled her eyes playfully, "You're so greedy."

Tianna cleared her throat. "Good morning, Ardian."

Ardian stared down at Haleigh and rolled his eyes, "Morning."

Haleigh moved around Ardian to fix his and Carlito's plate.

"You look nice. Nice to see your glow up in person, I see why the ladies love you."

Ardian looked down at his chest then at Tianna frowning. He'd forgotten he fought have a shirt on.

"Mmhm," he mumbled. "I be back, Hae. Ima go get a shirt."

Haleigh shook her head smiling, "Don't worry about it. I don't want you to."

Ardian laughed, he knew Haleigh was being petty but he wasn't gonna stop her.

"Yes ma'am," he said going to stand behind her, rubbing himself against her. She laughed but didn't say anything.

"I asked Ardian but he wouldn't tell me so I'll ask you," Tianna started. "Are you still a virgin?"

Ardian sucked his teeth. "Didn't I tell ya lil stupid ass to mind ya damn business."

Tianna laughed loudly. "That right there tells me everything I need to know. If you need anything my room is right next door."

"Thank God you leave tonight," Ardian said staring a hole in her face.

"That, my friend is where you're wrong," She pointed out still laughing, "I'm staying an extra three days. Tia thought it would be good to reconnect with you two."

Knowing Ardian was about to snap at her, Haleigh put the spoon she was holding down and turned to kiss him hard. Pushing her tongue into his mouth, Haleigh slipped her hand into his sweats. Tianna turned her lips up watching them kiss, it turned get stomach and got under her skin. Both things Haleigh hoped for.

Tia came walking in with Koda and Carlito behind her. Carlito gasped and covered his eyes.

"Aye! Aye! That's enough. Cut that shit out," Koda complained.

Haleigh and Ardian pulled away laughing. Haleigh wiped Ardian's lips with her thumbs. Koda pulled Carlito's hands away from his face.

"Leave them alone, Ko," Tia laughed, "They're in love."

"Ooooh Uncle Koko say shit! Him say shit. Me say shit, Daddy?" Carlito asked giggling.

Haleigh, Ardian and Tia glared at a Koda, who shrugged.

"My bad. Shit."

"Shit! Shit!" Carlito yelled.

"See," Haleigh complained moving sound the island and took Carlito from Koda, "Gimmie my baby. Teaching him bad words."

Carlito giggled looking at the frowning adults. "Daddy me say it? Me ca' say shit?"

Ardian shook his head. "Nope. Say it again and ima put soap in your mouth, Lil Man."

[kimmi-watch]

How about a college au where asexual!derek is crushing on stiles, who has a reputation of sleeping around and because of that derek doesn't take a chance because why would someone who loves sex so much want to date a guy who doesn't want it? of course we all know stiles ships derek/happiness and would have no problem if all he got was his own hand.

Okay, this was a little out of my comfort zone because I’ve never written an asexual character before and I didn’t want to stuff it up. Hopefully you like it, nonny. *ducks and hides*

Derek couldn’t exactly remember when he first realized he had a crush on Stiles, the loud, funny, cute, smartass, fiercely loyal idiot who lived across the hall from him. As a matter of fact, he distinctly remembered hating him when they first met. To be fair, the first time they’d met had been on the day they’d both moved into the dorms and there was a lot of stress going on from Derek's end. Stiles being loud and pulling some kind of prank in the common room just made things worse.

But then Stiles had sat with Derek when he'd gotten homesick, telling him stories of his own hometown and his father and then moving on to making him laugh and he'd realized that the brash, loud part of Stiles was just one part of him. They'd become friends, maybe a bit grudgingly at first, and then he became one of Derek's best friends.

He knew it was pointless having a crush on Stiles. There were always girls and guys coming and going from his room, Stiles often talked about the types of things he liked sexually and the things he wanted to try. Derek just wasn't into that. All he wanted was to hold Stiles's hand and spend time with him and cuddle. He liked being the little spoon and imagined that Stiles would be an absolutely amazing big spoon. So he tried to ignore his crush, knowing that nothing could ever possibly come from it.

"What're your plans this weekend?" Stiles asked, lounging on Derek's bed and throwing the stuffed wolf Laura had sent along with him to college.

"Nothing. I just want to veg." Derek told him. Truthfully, all he wanted for the weekend was to cuddle someone and zone out. He'd love for that to be with Stiles but knew that was out of the question.

"You should go on a date." Stiles told him, as though Derek had actually said what he wished he could be doing. Derek gave him a flat look. Stiles had been the first person outside of his family that he'd told about his asexuality and had been really understanding. He was also the person Derek went to when people lashed out at him for not wanting to have sex with them. Even though word had spread about his sexuality so it wasn't ever a surprise to people he went on dates with, every single relationship he'd had so far had ended when whoever he was with wanted sex. It was like they thought they could be the one to make him want to have sex, or they thought that he’d want it simply based on the way he looked and it was really insulting.

"We've talked about this. I'm just not going to date until we're out of school. Maybe that way people will finally understand and respect the fact that I don't want a sexual relationship." He'd made the decision and was going to stick to it.

"But... but I know you want a relationship. Those assholes you've dated shouldn't ruin it for anybody else you wants to date you." As soon as the words were out of his mouth, a blush spread over his face. Derek felt his heart beating a mile a minute. Maybe it was wishful thinking, but it sounded like Stiles was someone who wanted to date him.

"Well... well maybe one of these people... maybe there'd be an exception if he... I mean if they asked." He said shyly, hoping against hope that he was right, that Stiles was actually interested in him.

"Okay. Well... what I should have said was that... you should go on a date with me this weekend." Stiles rushed out, burying his face in the stuffed wolf. "And before you say anything, I just need you to know that I would never pressure you for sex, or expect it at all. I have hands and a toy chest that would make you blush, I am good on that front, believe me. But... I like spending time with you and sometimes... sometimes all I wanna do is be close to you." He told him. Derek felt a grin spread over his face.

"Sometimes... sometimes all I wanna do is be close to you too." Derek admitted, earning him a huge grin in return and then Stiles throwing himself at him and snuggling into his chest.

"So... is that a yes?" He asked and Derek nodded, tugging him closer and leaning his head against his.

"That's a yes."
