MOTHER HEN: PART FIVE
parings: hawks x mother!reader
word count: 4.1k
warnings: none (probably)
notes: DADDYS HOME, sorry it took so mfing long…
summary: you, the mother of Fumikage Tokoyami, are just a simple nurse! Who caught the eye of a certain pro…
Tumblr media
the weekend.
Now previously you agreed to go to the bar with all of your friends because they convinced you that you worked far too much and needed a break!
sounds simple enough.
What you didn’t know though is that the day before you were supposed to go out onto the town, the hospital decides to kick you in the ass with an all nighter.
Now here you are stumbling back home after one of the longest shifts of your entire life.
Walking into to your warm home you immediately spot Fumikage on the couch, yet again not getting any sleep, you’ve told him multiple times to stop doing that.
He peeks his head towards he door and smiles.
“You were gone for a while, I was worried..”
nevermind, your not angry that he’s up late anymore.
“sorry, they couldn’t let me go..”
Fumikage sits up from the couch, “I’m gonna pull their ear about that one day, y’know?”
“Yea, and I’m gonna pull the schools ear for making you always injured somehow…I better not see you get hurt at that stupid festival.”
Fumikage huffs out a laugh, “I’m quite excited to be able to show off infront of pros.”
“You always show off.” You smack his head playfully, then kissing it.
Fumikage sees your figure walking away, “Are you off to bed?”
“Yea and you should be too..”
Fumikage smiles, “I will, goodnight mama.”
“Night Fumi..” you walk into your bedroom, closing the door and shedding yourself from your clothes.
You’re too tired to shower now, usually you do after work but after you fell asleep and busted your forehead in the shower you decide not to ever again.
Fumikage must’ve been scared out of out of his pants seeing blood all over your shower like some murder scene…
So you cuddle into your soft nest, warm and fluffy just how you like it.
drifting slowly until…
*DING*
Your phone vibrates.
You angrily shoot yourself up from the covers, who dares to rip you away from the sleep you barely get??
birdbrain
you up?
Hawks? Texting you at 6:00 in the morning?
well it’s not that uncommon, he’s always texting at weird times anyway.
pretty lady
barely, just got off work.
birdbrain
Oh sorry, rough day?
pretty lady
Not rough, just long lol
pretty lady
why are you up? late patrol
or smth?
birdbrain
Nah my patrol ended hours ago
birdbrain
Just can’t sleep
Your heart aches for hawks, though you can’t understand the whole ‘cant’t sleep’ thing, you know Fumikage can…that’s because he’s a worry wart though.
You used to deal with nightmares but that was usually from Ryuji’s quirk.
pretty lady
does that make me your
booty call?
birdbrain
Haha. No just like talking to you.
birdbrain
Should probably stop though
cause you need your beauty rest
pretty lady
Yea, sleep good hawks
birdbrain
I will now
Hawks was really a sweet friend, always there for you somehow.
Now you can sleep peacefully without any interruptions.
Without any fears of dreaming anything terrible or bad.
but that was the opposite for hawks.
Truthfully he only texted you to get awake, he was always alert if you were involved.
It’s not that sleep escaped him it was that he was escaping sleep. He didn’t want to go to dream land, dream land was scary as hell for him now.
Even describing them is out of his reach, he does wish he could talk to someone about them but they feel so graphic and personal that he doesn’t want to.
He’s bets he could talk to you about it, maybe if you got some alcohol in him.
Maybe you’d scratch his scalp with his head in your lap, humming some tune you came up with in your head.
Maybe you’d kiss him too, if he was lucky.
It was a good idea for hawks to text you, he feels better thinking about all the silly things he’d like so much to do with you.
So, he drifts off too with you in his mind.
and it’s the same for you.
Until Fumikage wakes you up of course, not even in a gentle way either.
“Mama, wake up.”
“No.”
“Mom…get up.”
“Five more minutes…”
Fumikage sighs, “fine, you asked for it.”
You feel someone grab your ankles then rip you off of your comfy and warm nest!
You yelp, “damit Fumikage!”
“You wouldn’t get up.”
“I’m the adult here, not you…”
“Are you? You’re acting like a kid before you get up for school mama…” he says judgingly.
“Hey now, you were the worst morning person I’ve ever met when you started kindergarten.” You sigh while getting up from the floor.
“What time it Fumi?”
“2:00”
“Ah okay…” you whip your head towards him, “wait-2:00?!”
“I mean you got home at 6:00, it’s not terrible…”
You were supposed to be at your friend’s house by 4:00, too bad for you she lives an hour away.
“Oh gosh- thank you Fumi you sweet baby angel.”
“What would you do without me?”
“Be dead I guess? I have to start getting ready to meet up with some friends.” You say hurriedly while running towards the shower.
Fumikage follows you, “what time will you be home?”
You dip behind the frosty shower door, Fumikage usually sits next to the shower just to talk to you and the glass parts of the shower are basically opaque.
“Probably late? There’s frozen pizza in the fridge.”
“I don’t like it when you go clubbing…”
You raise your eyebrows, “why’s that?”
“Because hungover you is the worst you, always so sassy.” He whispers the last part but you still hear it.
“Says you, edge lord.”
He gasps, “You said you liked my style?!”
“Your style is just me in high school, half your shirts are mine.”
He scoffs, “whatever…”
you giggle softly then you can hear your phone ding.
“Is that Tori?”
Fumikage grabs your phone and checks it, “bird brain? Do you have other bird sons I don’t know about mother?”
You blush, “Don’t be stupid, it’s just a nickname for…”
Do you really wanna tell Fumikage about hawks?
no.
“For Emi, you know her damned scatterbrain”
Fumikage laughs, “I do from your story’s.”
“What’s the time?”
“2:07”
You turn off the water and hop out the shower with a towel wrapped tightly around you.
Making your way towards your vanity, you do a quick face of makeup- you almost look like a teenager again…
next was caking on the setting spray, your makeup will stay no matter what tonight.
“Time?”
“2:37”
You quickly do your hair in a small updo, keeping it down with hairspray.
Then rushing towards your closet trying to find all your old clubbing outfits.
it’s been awhile okay?!
Until you find your gorgeous short red dress that sparkled if it hit the light just right.
Great, perfect even.
it’s old though, hopefully it fits…
But it does! Quite Nicely actually.
“Time?”
“2:56”
Well it was time to haul yourself to the car so you won’t be late, you like being at places on the dot..maybe even two minutes early if you’re feeling frisky.
Making your way downstairs, you grab you bag and turn towards Fumikage.
“How do I look?”
“Same as usual.”
“Fumikage.” You say sternly.
“Great mama, don’t bring no one home.” He jokes, you think?
You kiss and ruffle his feathers, “I’ll see you later Fumi.”
He nods, and you walk as quickly as you can to your car and finally drive to your friends house.
Now after all the hurry you showed up at 3:06, not your best time.
Knocking on the door you can hear your friends excitedly running towards it.
Your friend screams loudly,“Y/N!”
“Tori!”
“I havent seen you in forever!” Tori exclaims dramatically.
“It’s been like a month…”
“A month without my precious baby.”
The two of you laugh and make your way to the living room, seeing the rest of your friends.
“Y/N, I see you’re five minutes late!”
“Oh shut it, Kami.” You say playfully.
Tori speaks up, “How Fumikage? Haven’t seen him around.”
“He’s good, got into U.A.”
They all start cheering loudly, you feel prideful.
“U.A.- Y/N that’s amazing!”
“I know, I know, my son’s fricking amazing.” You say with pride.
Another one of your friends, taka, tries to change the subject, you’d prefer to keep talking about your awesome son but it’s whatever.
“Tori, how far away is the club?”
Tori chuckles nervously, “bout an hour away…I heard it’s really good!”
Kami groans, “Tori, what the fuck.”
“I drove an hour to get here Tori!” You exclaim.
“I know, but it’s really good I promise, tons of hot babes for you Y/N!”
Kami rolls her eyes, “I bet the waits even fucking longer.”
“Hey, no cussing to be cool in this house!”
Kami sighs, “I’m just expressing my feelings!”
You barge into the conversation with concern, “I don’t need some babe…”
All your friends stop speaking for a moment until Taka speaks up.
“Y/N, you haven’t dated anyone since Ryuji.”
“Yea well Ryuji taught me I don’t need a man.”
“Doesn’t Fumikage need a father, that was your excuse for getting with him…”
“Fumikage is 16, he’s okay.”
Tori joins the conversation, “yea well, live a little will ya? You don’t need a boyfriend but you could use a hot and steamy night with someone!”
“Tori…”
“What? I’m right aren’t I…?” Tori looks around towards the everyone else.
“Just keep an open mind okay?” Kami says softly.
You’ve always kept an open mind, you don’t need some one night stand…you’re perfectly fine without any…physical romance.
“Fine, I will- I’m not bringing anyone home though.”
“Why’s that?” Tori chuckles softly.
“Fumikage said not to.”
The room bursts into laughter, you weren’t joking though…you and Fumikage respect each-other.
Tori claps her hands together, “Now, let’s get on to that club!”
The four of you pile into Tori’s small, blue car and prepare for the long drive to the amazing club she’s talking so highly about.
once you arrive it takes almost the same amount of time to get there to actually get into the place.
She wasn’t joking when she said the place was popular, looked expensive too.
When you walked in you could see beautiful decrorations, the bar was even better because it apparently had that ‘good old shit’ according to Kami.
Poor Fumikage was probably all alone at home…you did tell him he could invite some U.A. friends but he declined.
But there was someone else at your house.
“What’re you doing here.” Fumikage said aggressively.
Hawks throws his hands up in a surrender, “just wanted to see if your mom was home, kid!”
Fumikage sighs while shaking his head, “well she isn’t home, leave.”
“You can’t hide your mom away from me.”
“Do wanna check the fucking walls or something? I’m telling you the truth.”
Hawks chuckles, “quite the sailor’s mouth you got there, I’ll tell your mama you’ve been shouting at me in tongues.”
“That’s not even what tongues is.”
“Well maybe she’ll send you to some boarding school to get the demon out of you.”
“My mother would never do that, yours probably did already though, crazy old man.” Fumikage spits back.
Well, ouch.
“I’m younger than your mom.”
“Are you sure? I mean you probably have the IQ of a seven year old but you look like how old Ivan the Terrible would be today!” Fumikage says sarcastically.
Hawks expression drops slightly, how could someone as amazing as you raise a little monster like him??
“I’ll call your mom right now, don’t test me.”
Fumikage whips his head towards hawks, agitated.
“Can’t, she’s with friends and she probably won’t answer the phone for someone like you.”
Hawks cocks his head slightly, “she’s out?”
“She has more friends than just you.” Fumikage huffs.
You, the hard working, won’t ever take a break, are doing chill time with girls he’s never heard of?
Or maybe you’re on a date.
Your not but hawks jealous little brain jumps to that conclusion.
Fumikage flops himself onto the couch, dismissing hawks, “no go, you have no business-“
“Who is she on a date with.”
“What…?”
“You heard me.”
Fumikage raises his head to make eye contact with an arms crossed, agitated looking hawks.
Fumikage squints his eyes in annoyance, “I already told you she’s out with friends, though I’m surprised you didn’t already know you stalker…”
“I don’t know, maybe you wanna protect your future step-daddy from being the subject of a documentary.”
The two of them become quiet, Fumikage staring at hawk’s dumbfounded.
“…my mother doesn’t partake in romantic relationships.”
“You don’t have to be all fancy with it.”
“Her words, not mine.”
Then quiet again.
Hawks realizes that Fumikage is most likely not lying, “So where is she…?”
“The club, it’s two hours away from what she told me.”
“What club?”
Fumikage ruffles his feathers on his forehead, “…why can’t you just text her, and why do you ever need her in the first place??”
“I wanted company.”
“Well, get it somewhere else cause my mama ain’t home.”
Hawks sighs…then opens his mouth again to Fumikages dismay.
“How can someone so mean come from such an angel like your mother..?”
“How can my mother talk to someone so ugly and annoying?”
“Ugly is pushing it.”
“Truth hurts, number three.”
Hawks huffs in defeat, you describe Fumikage as a gorgeous little angel…he’s the total opposite.
hawks isn’t even ugly, his fans said so themselves…
he wishes you were a fan of him.
*DING*
Hawks jumps slightly in surprise,“What was that?”
“It was my phone, oh yea it’s my mom too!” Fumikage says happily.
“What she say?”
“Ah, she said…‘don’t let that nasty little pigeon into our house ever again!’…that sucks…”
Hawks stays silent, staring at Fumikage.
“Are you serious…”
“No numbnuts, it was the door bell.”
Usually hawks isn’t this…stupid? There’s just something you do to him, making him all mushy brained.
Fumikage walks over to the door and opens it up, it’s the postal man! With the package you were talking to him about earlier.
It says fragile on the box, now you love opening packages but so does Fumikage.
So he brings it to the kitchen, hawks trailing behind him.
“What’s that?”
“A package my mother ordered.”
Fumikage placed the package down and grabs a knife, tearing the tape away from the cardboard opening the package to see…
a small plush.
One that makes hawks heart stop for a minute.
Fumikage just stares at it, what’s he supposed to say to this?
But Fumikage, your savior, knew for a fact you didn’t want hawks to ever indulge in the fact that you order a plush of him.
It’s already getting to his head, red ears, wings fluttering softly…
Fumikage chuckles, “my cousins birthday is coming up soon…she’s a big fan of you.”
Fumikage can see hawks face deflate…literally like he changed into a different person, specially a spoiled rotten kid who just got told no.
“Fumikage?”
“Hawks.”
“How is your mom gonna get home, aren’t all her friends gonna be drunk?” Hawks questions slowly, almost like he was thinking it over for a while.
Fumikage hums, “good question…”
Fumikage and hawks slowly make eye contact, then reaching the same conclusion.
Go to the bar, save mom, bring mom home.
The to of them race outside, Fumikage about to hop in the car until hawks wraps his arms around him.
He yelps in a high pitched voice, “unhand me you fool!”
“Relax, I can fly faster than car!”
“Oh, right…continue.”
Fumikage and hawks burst into the air,
Though hawks still has no clue what bar your at..he’ll find you.
and a simple text will work as-well .
birdbrain
wya???
pretty lady
the drunken pearl or
some shit like that
birdbrain
thanks babe
pretty lady
what
Location secured!
“I saw that..” Fumikage says softly but aggressively.
“Shut up, you’re wearing some ugly old Batman sweater.”
“It’s my mamas.”
“…it’s a great sweater.”
Fumikage and hawks continue the flight with saying anything else to one another. This is only a slight truce to protect their favorite women, you.
In the corner of hawks eye he spots it.
The drunken Pearl, a piss poor name but who cares when you’re drunk.
Now that line was long, almost longer than hawks d-
no, no hawks.
save y/n from that terribly sullen dirt hole before you let your mind wander of to dirty jokes.
hawks could probably sneak in right? Well not with Fumikage, Fumikages not even wearing a hero uniform and he can’t pull the “I’m a hero, let me in bitch.” strategy.
well, until he notices a little, red keychain on the bouncers keys that are attached to one of his belt loops.
It’s hawks lucky day to be a popular hero.
Hawks immediately flies down to the ground, with a small wave to the bouncer he can already see the external freak out.
The bouncers cheeks go red, “I-I uhm…Mr.Hawks! What brings you here?”
“One of my little lady’s friends is in there, wanna pick her up so she has a ride!” He says cheerfully.
“O-of course! Don’t want anyone getting hurt do we?” He chuckles nervously.
Hawks starts to walk in with Fumikage in tow until, “Sorry but, he can’t go with you..he’ll have to wait in line.”
“Tokoyami stay out here will ya?” Hawks barks an order at him.
Fumikage nods, standing guard with the bouncer.
Hawks makes his way into the brightly lit club, it’s loud too…hurts his ears.
Many body’s are just mushed together, either dancing funky or grinding on eachother.
Honestly hawks looks everyone for you, then spots you near the bar.
and he can feel his knees buckle a little , your a goddess.
There’s a sheen of sweat on you, your wearing a sparkly, short red dress with 2inch red heals that have the cutest golden buckle on them.
He makes his way to you as quickly as he can, you’re talking to a man..you do that a lot for someone who doesn’t want romantic relations.
Never mind talking, you’re flirting, whispering in each other’s ears while giggling. Hawks can feel his heart swell with anger and jealousy.
Why is he talking to you anyways, hawks needs to put a leash on you at this point.
or the other way around, he wouldn’t mind…
stop, bad hawks…focus on your main quest.
Hawks strides over towards you and the parasite, touch your shoulder softly.
You turn around confused, then smile.
“Hawkey!!” You throw your arms around his neck drunkenly..
He hugs back, “Y/n”
“What’re- hic!- doin here?” You say sloppily.
“Came to get you, Fumikage told me a few things..”
“Snitch.”
Hawks chuckles, ignoring the angry man next to you.
“How you feeling?”
“Really tired actually..this nice man was just about to take me to the private room before you came long!”
“Tired huh?”
You yawn, “exhausted…you gon take me home hawkey?”
“Cute nickname, let’s go.” He wraps his arm around your waist, lifting you softly.
Until Mr. Parasite grabs his shoulder.
“Hey, hands off she was mine first.”
“Get the hell off of me.”
He grips his hand tighter, “I already told you-“
“And I thought I told you the get off me.” Hawks says while glaring at the man.
“Look man-“
“I will slit your fucking throat open if I ever see you never her again, do not test me.”
The man’s jaw drops and he backs off slightly as a result from all of hawks threats.
Hawks picks you up bridal style, it’ll be faster to get you out of this place that way.
Hawks soon strolls out of the bumping club with you in his arms, making eye contact with Fumikage. Fumikage raises his arms up, expecting hawks to drop your form into them.
“Nope.”
Fumikage looks confused, “what?”
“Your not holding her”
“She’s my mother.” Fumikage says as if he’s offended.
Then it’s silent, hawks is glaring at him softly like he’ll take you away forever, you never notice.
Fumikage huffs with annoyance, “It’ll be easier to fly us back anyways if I hold her, stop being stubborn.”
Hawks then begrudgingly places you softly into your son’s arms.
Your eyes flutter softly, “Fumi?”
“Go back to sleep mama, you’ll be home soon.”
Hawks wraps his hands around Fumikage and flies off towards your home, now you’ve had many great naps over the years but…
This was probably the best nap you’ve ever had, maybe it’s the being drunk part.
You feel like you’re softly dropping down towards the ground, kinda like what a kid imagines what a cloud would feel like.
Said cloud is actually your nest, almost as warm as you left it.
You vision is slightly blurry, you feel terribly sick.
But soon hawks comes into your view with a glass of water a two small pills.
“Open up, mama bird..” he says softly.
You open your mouth as hawks places the round tablet onto your tongue, tastes disgusting, hawks would probably taste better.
Hawks then tilts up your head a makes you start to drink sips of water, you can already sense Fumikage at the doorway watching like a hawk.
“Feel better?”
“Mph..sure.”
hawks chuckles softly, “good, worried me a little yknow?”
You nod softly.
“I had to beat Fumikage just to hang out with me…you would’ve been better company.”
You smile gently, lips pulling together.
“Fumi…”
You can see Fumikages head pop up from his spot near the door.
“Go…bed, now.”
Fumikage sighs, then stalks off towards his bedroom.
Hawks pushed your hair away from your face, “Want me to leave too, sweets?”
You shake your head no, “stay?”
Hawks can feel his heart drop down to his toes.
He climbs over into your nest, your nest…
oh god, he can feel his ears burning already.
You gloss your fingers through hawks wind sweet hair, hitting multiple knots.
“Y/n..”
You look up towards his face, red ears…no his whole face is red this time.
his wings are puffed out, fluttering around with each passing moment.
“Hm..?”
“What’re you..uhm-doing?” Hawks stutters.
“What does it look like…?”
“Looks like you’re paying a little too much attention to me.”
“You love it.”
“I do.”
Oh god he loves it so much.
You sigh, “Lay down, no hovering…”
Hawks immediately lays down next to you on the bed, staring.
Enjoying that feeling of your hands carding through his hair.
and he’s just staring at our, red dusting over his face, staring at anything but your eyes.
even takes a few glances at your lips.
Kami was right, you need something good.
“Hawks?” You call softly.
“Yea?” He looks up at you.
“kiss me”
silence…
“W-what…?”
You grab his collar lazily, pulling him closer.
“Kiss me?” You whisper softly.
He short circuits for a moment.
Then comes closer, slowly.
then looks into your eyes, drunk hazy eyes that in his opinion, have no clue what they want.
“I can’t. Not while your drunk y/n…”
“Don’t you wanna though..?”
Trust hawks when he tells people he’s only a milisecond from making out with you everyday, it’s not that he doesn’t want to..it’s that he wants you to want it no matter what.
You’re just some lonely mom with a man in your bed, of course your drunk little brain wants a kiss.
“I wanna, really bad y/n- but you need to be sober for it.”
He needs you to be like that.
when he kisses you he doesn’t want to reminded of his father.
of that house.
Just you.
“…are you gonna leave me?”
Hawks chuckles, “no, no mama bird I ain’t gonna leave you.”
He starts to cradle you into his arms but…it ends up with it being the other way.
Darn you and your motherly habits…
So now hawks is comfortably laying in your chest, legs tangled together.
Your hand grazing his scalp, massaging sit softly.
This is good.
This is nice.
He doesn’t wanna wake up in a cold sweat anymore, he doesn’t wanna wake up screaming.
Not with you.
But knowing you, you’d probably cradle him like you used to Fumikage, kiss his face a whispering softly how it’ll all be okay.
Nevermind, hawks wants to have a nightmare.
he wants you, he knows it now.
He knows it even more when your hand stopping moving, and your breathing slows into a slumber.
He knows when he comfortably drifts off into dreamland while near clingy, drunk you.
he knows, but he doesn’t know what to do with that knowing.
So he rests.
With your body’s mixed together like a finished puzzle.
He knows this is right, because it feels fucking amazing.

Talk to Me, Baby
Requested Here!
Pairing: Tim Bradford x fem!shy!wife!reader
Summary: Your son loves to talk to you. Unlike his dad, Tim, he doesn't try to make you shy.
Warnings: FLUFF! Angela and Tim act like siblings
Word Count: 1.0k+ words
A/N: Happy birthday @sweetheartlizzie07! I hope you enjoy!🤍
Tumblr media
“Hi,” your baby boy says as you approach his crib.
“Hi,” you reply happily. “How are you?”
“Hi,” he repeats with a nod.
You shake your head in amusement and lift him from his crib. He’s only a few months old, but he enjoys talking to you as if he understands exactly what the conversation is about. As you carry him into the living room, he clings to the collar of your shirt and babbles quietly. Your phone rings, and you lower him onto a play mat to crawl around before you sit on the floor beside him and answer your phone.
“Hi, Angela,” you greet.
“Hey! The kids and I are in the neighbourhood, and I wanted to ask if we could drop by for a few minutes?” she asks.
“Of course, come on over.”
“Is everyone awake? I don’t want to interrupt naptime.”
“Yep,” you assure. “You’re not interrupting anything.”
“Perfect! Thank you so much!”
You end the call and look toward your son, who is on his hands and knees to press the buttons of a toy phone.
“Aunt Angela is coming over,” you tell him.
“Ange!” he cheers.
“Yeah, Ange. And she’s bringing your friends.”
“Hi!” he says, waving excitedly toward the door.
“It’s a good thing you didn’t get your people skills from me or your dad,” you mumble. “Where’d you learn to talk like that?” you ask him. “All those books we read?”
He nods and crawls toward you, so you pull him into your lap and kiss his plump cheeks. He giggles loudly at your attention, and you continue playing with him as you blow raspberries against his skin. You pull your knees up so he’s upright and kiss his forehead as he calms down from his giggle fit.
“Can I get one of those kisses?” Tim asks.
You look up quickly, surprised to see him. He smiles at you, and you look back at your baby, so he doesn’t see your shy smile.
“If you want,” you answer softly.
“You’re right,” Tim says as he walks toward you. “I don’t want one. I want more than that.”
He sits beside you and takes his son from your lap. You lean toward Tim and rest your head on his shoulder. After he kisses the top of your head, he gives his attention to his son.
“Hey, buddy,” he greets.
“Hi, dada!”
“Angela is coming over,” you tell Tim.
“Friends,” your baby says.
“You’ve got a better vocabulary than Lucy,” Tim praises, raising his voice to a higher pitch that makes your baby smile.
“Boot,” he says, sounding it out slowly, like ‘buh-oo-t.’
“And better word association,” Tim adds.
“He’s going to start calling people boot if you’re not careful,” you say against Tim’s shoulder.
Someone knocks on your door, and Tim raises one hand to help you stand. As you walk toward the door, he holds your son close to his chest and pushes himself up. Angela comes in with both of her kids, and you point her to the bathroom when Jack asks to go.
“It’s almost mama’s birthday, bud; let’s practice,” Tim says behind you. “Happy.”
“Hap,” your son says.
“Happy,” Tim repeats. “Birthday.”
“Hap birth-ay.”
“Good job, my little man.”
You walk to Tim’s side, and when he raises the arm not holding your baby, you wrap your arms around his waist and settle under his arm. Angela may want to talk while the kids play, but Tim just got home, and you’ve been missing him since he returned to work after paternity leave.
“We read Goodnight Moon earlier, and he finished some of the lines,” you tell Tim.
“Because he’s smart like his mom,” Tim replies.
You hide your face against Tim’s shirt as you say, “And his dad.”
“I think we should read him the rook book. Give him a head start.”
“And that’s why we wonder how you ever got married and had a baby,” Angela says as she returns.
“Don’t like the competition?” Tim taunts.
“How do you deal with him?” Angela asks you.
“I usually don’t,” you answer. “He’ll just make it worse if I try.”
“That makes me sound like a horrible husband,” Tim interrupts. “But I’m not. Ask this guy and he’ll say I’m the best dada.”
“Best dada!” he cheers, bouncing against Tim’s arm.
“See?”
Angela shakes her head as she pulls her phone from her pocket. She types something quickly before she looks at you.
“I have to go. Maybe we can schedule an actual play date soon so your genius son can teach Jack that crayons are for coloring and not sniffing,” she suggests.
“Nothing wrong with sniffing crayons,” Tim defends. “It builds character.”
“If you sniffed crayons and turned out like this, I need to make him stop before it’s too late.”
Angela rolls her eyes at Tim as she hugs you, and then she gets a high-five from your son before she leaves. Alone again, you return to Tim’s side and lay your hand on your son’s back.
“I got you something,” Tim says. “We arrested a counterfeiter today who had a ton of books that he used for ink matching, and evidence cleared the books. So, the backseat of my truck is filled with children’s books.”
“Little guy will be thrilled when he wakes up.”
You point to your son, asleep against Tim’s shoulder, and smile. He loves reading with you and Tim, which you accredit to all the time you spent reading aloud while you were pregnant. Tim thinks that’s also the reason he can talk so well already.
Tim walks to the couch with you and sits beside you. Seeing him with your son on his chest makes you fall more in love with him each day, even if he does tease you for watching them. Sitting at Tim’s side, you have a clear view of his profile. When you tip your chin up and kiss his cheek, Tim smiles and turns his face toward you. You kiss him and sigh against his lips.
“I love you,” you say as you pull back.
“I love you,” Tim replies.
“Love you,” your baby says against Tim’s shoulder.
“Has he said that before?” Tim asks, wide-eyed as he looks at you.
You shake your head and quietly scold Tim for trying to wake him up to hear it again. When you kiss Tim’s jaw, your baby boy gets another shot at peaceful sleep, while you fight not to shy away from your husband’s affection.

     Y/n hated the nightmares. She hated that her mind kept replaying what happened with her psycho ex or making it worse. Making up scenarios of what would've happened if she hadn’t sent the text message. 
     She’d awake after another nightmare. Chest filled with anxiety as she tried remembering where she was. Home. Home with Chan and Changbin down the hall. Her rooms before hers. If anything were to happen, they would hear it first. 
     She laid back and took some deep breaths. Recollecting herself and her thoughts. She turned in bed, holding her blankets close to her. Attempting to try and sleep again but nothing. Staring into the dark seemed to make it worse. 
     Y/n grabbed her phone from the bedside table and dialed the only person who could understand what she was going through. 
     “Hey,” Seungmin’s voice came through the speaker 
     “Hey,” Y/n replied 
     “Have another nightmare?”
     Since they both had talked about the situation, they’d been helping each other. Late-night calls when neither of them could sleep were common. Just two friends that were trying to heal together. No matter how weird that word sounds when it comes to Seungmin. 
     “Yeah. Why are you awake?”
     “Can’t sleep either.”
     Y/n hummed, “How was your appointment today?”
     “Alright. My ribs are pretty much healed now which is great. The doctor still wants me to wait a few weeks before I do anything strenuous or return to work.”
     “Have you talked to your old job?”
     “Yeah. Unfortunately, they’re fully staffed but there’s another office hiring that’s actually a little closer so I need to just reinterview there. They let the manager know my situation but it’s basically mine.”
     “That’s good. I’m happy for you.”
     “Thanks. I’m just getting a little stir-crazy at Minho’s now.”
     “Mm. I feel the same. One of the guys is always here so I’m not alone which is nice but they’re starting to suffocate me.”
     “You’re like their little sister. They’re just worried. But I can get where it gets annoying. Do you work tomorrow?”
     “No. Off for the next two days. Just have therapy in the morning.”
     “What time?”
     “Ten.”
     “Do you wanna go get brunch after? I can pick you up and take you too.” 
     “I’d like that,” Y/n smiled, even though he couldn’t see her.
     “You’re smiling, aren’t you.”
     “No, I’m not.”
     “You forget we were dating for three years.”
     “I didn’t forget.”
     “So you know I know when you’re smiling or what to do when you’re sad and need cheering up.”
     “You’re too observant sometimes.” 
     “Sometimes not enough.”
     “Stop it.”
     “What?”
     “Blaming yourself.”
     “Sorry. I was thinking about it earlier again.”
     “I don’t blame you, Min. You know that, right?”
     “Yeah. Just kind of blame myself a bit still…”
     “I know how you feel…”
     “Can I be honest with you?”
     “Of course.”
     “When he first had me locked up, I kept hoping you would reach out to me. Get worried about me not responding. Then the security footage started. And it broke my heart but I still hoped that you would still choose me…”
     “Min…”
     “Sorry. I didn’t mean to unload that…”
     “You know, when I met him, I was trying to forget about our break up. I wasn’t looking for a new relationship but he was so convincing and I know now he was just love-bombing me the whole time. I was heartbroken after our breakup because I only ever saw you as who I would spend the rest of my life with.”
     “What would you say if I asked for another chance?”
     “It’s always yes, Min.”
     “I’ll keep that in mind”
     The two talked until they somehow both ended up falling asleep. She woke up a few hours later with the call still running. Both got a bit of peace for once in their dreams. 
     Seungmin told her he’d pick her up for her appointment and left the call to get ready. Y/n let her roommates know Seungmin was picking her up and the two were going to brunch after. Chan and Changbin both smiled and said nothing Letting her get ready for her day.
     Seungmin was at the door not long after she finished getting ready. She let the two know she was leaving. Seungmin was standing out the door and smiled at her. She swore she saw him rethinking leaning in to kiss her like he used to greet her.
     “Ready?” He asked her.
     “Yeah.”
     The two walked back to the car and Seungmin opened the door for her before he walked to the other side and got in the car. She gave him directions to her therapist’s office while they discussed their plans for after. Walking up together once they got in. 
     “I’ll wait for you in the waiting room, okay?” Seungmin said once she was called into the office
     “Okay,” Y/n nodded. 
     Y/n walked back into the office, sat down, and started her session. Telling her therapist about the nightmares. Talking through them and mentioning Seungmin. 
     “Seungmin is your ex, correct?”
     “Yeah. He got kidnapped by Jeongin.”
     “So both of you have gone through the same trauma in a sense?”
     “Yeah. We’ve both talked to each other about what we went through separately.”
     “Sometimes it does help to talk with someone who has gone through something similar.”
     The session only lasted another fifteen minutes before Y/n walked out of the office. Seungmin was sitting in the waiting room waiting for her, just like he said. 
     “Ready?” He asked as she walked over to him.
     “Yeah,” Y/n smiled 
     Seungmin stood and led her back to the car. Getting her in the car before him then driving off to a small restaurant. It wasn’t too busy at the moment and they quickly got seated. 
     Y/n really did miss Seungmin. In the quiet moments when she wasn’t being suffocated by Jeongin, she’d think about him. She was grateful Jeongin kept him alive. Even if it was painful for Seungmin. 
     “What are you looking at?” Seungmin asked 
     “Sorry,” Y/n said and looked down at her menu. 
     “What is it?” Seungmin asked again. 
     “It’s nothing. Just…”
     “Just what?”
     “I’m glad he kept you alive,” Y/n said, looking up at him again 
     “I hate you sometimes,” Seungmin groaned 
     “Sorry….”
     “No. Not for that,” Seungmin quickly said. Reaching over the table to her and grabbing the menu from her hands, “I… I hate that you still get me flustered. And I know I’m bad at expressing my emotions and I don’t want to overwhelm you by saying what I actually want to say.”
    “Didn’t you ask me for a second chance last night?” Y/n smiled, knowing what he was trying to say.
     “I was sleep deprived,” Seungmin glared at her
     “Whatever you say.”
     Y/n smiled at him and kissed his knuckles before dropping his hands. The waiter came over a few minutes later and took their order. Leaving them alone after. 
     “You make it hard to kiss you right now,” Seungmin said as soon as the waiter was gone 
     “I haven’t done anything!” Y/n defended herself, her face getting warmer
     Seungmin just smiled and reached across the table for her hands again. Raising them to his lips and kissing each of her knuckles. Taking a little longer on her left ring finger before setting her hands back on the table. Y/n looked at him as he smiled.
     He teased her a little more throughout their brunch. Making her flustered just for her to fluster him back. Even their walk back to the car and the drive back to hers was a game for them. Up until he walked her up to the door.
     “Thank you for today, by the way,” Y/n said as she turned to him
     “Anytime,” Seungmin smiled
     Y/n didn’t make any move to leave. Neither did Seungmin. 
     “Can I kiss you?” 
     “I’ll be a little mad if you don’t.”
     Seungmin leaned in and pecked her lips. Quick but enough for them. 
     “I’m glad we’re alive,” Seungmin said 
     “Me too.”
     “You know you two can have this conversation in Y/n’s room.” Changbin’s voice came from the video doorbell 
     Y/n unlocked the front door and opened it, “Seo Changbin!”
     “I’m just saying!” He called from the living room
     Y/n stormed in and grabbed a throw pillow. Attacking her friend with it as Seungmin followed her in, shutting the door behind him as he watched. Eventually, Changbin got the pillow away from her and got her off him. 
     “Finally beat Changbin,” Seungmin laughed 
     “You two are on thin ice,” Changbin warned 
     The two laughed before going up to Y/n’s room. “Looks different,” Seungmin said 
     “I got rid of all my old stuff. Decided to just start fresh. Couldn’t stomach the thought of looking at everything again after what happened,” Y/n replied as she hung up her bag
     “I don’t blame you,” Seungmin said, taking a seat in her desk chair. “Should we talk about us?”
     “I think we should just forget the last two years,” Y/n joked 
     “Seems like a good idea,” Seungmin replied as she sat on her bed. He scooted the chair over to her. “How about we take it slow? Slowly get back to where we were while we’re still healing a bit?”
     “I like that idea.”
     “Okay.” Seungmin leaned in and kissed her lips again.
     Normalcy. That’s what Seungmin was to her. Her little bit of normalcy in the middle of the chaos around her. Even though they agreed to go slow, a little over a month later they were back to where they were before. Sitting on the couch at Minho’s having a movie night while he was out with Jisung. Seungmin had his arm wrapped around her as she fed him popcorn. A rom-com Netflix recommended playing on the TV. 
     “Getting tired?” Seungmin asked, noticing her movements slowing down a bit
     “No,” Y/n lied. She’d had a presentation over Zoom before coming over and she spent the night before making sure it was perfect.
     “Liar,” Seungmin chuckled as he took the popcorn bowl from her and turned off the TV. “Come on.”
     Seungmin helped her up off the couch and got her to his room. Y/n followed behind him groggily. He pulled back the covers for her and helped her into the bed.
     “Sleep with me?” Y/n asked as he went to pull them up over her body
     “You sure?”
     Y/n nodded, “Let me lock up the house real quick and text Minho.” Seungmin kissed the top of her head and walked out of the room. 
     He came back a few moments later with both their phones— she assumed he was texting Minho on his about the house being locked up when he came in for the night. He set both their phones on the nightstand, and then Seungmin climbed into bed with her. Covering them both with the blankets and loosely laying his arm over her waist.
     Y/n turned in his arms and put her face in his chest. “I knew you were tired.” he laughed
     “Mm.” Y/n huffed as he kissed her head again.
     “I love you.”
     “I love you too.” Y/n drifted off into sleep and it was probably the best sleep she’d gotten in a while. For once, no nightmares haunted her. She felt safe again.
     She woke up the next morning still in Seungmin’s arms. He was still fast asleep so she got to take the chance to admire her boyfriend up close for once. She remembered when he was released from the hospital he had the worst dark circles and multiple bruises on his face. They’d all healed and the dark circles were slowly going away.
     “Why are you staring?” Seungmin’s voice said
     Y/n smiled as he opened his eyes to her, “Because I can.”
     “Mhm,” Seungmin groaned as he leaned in and kissed her lips, “Stop it.”
     “No,” Y/n said
     “Brat,” Seungmin smiled before leaning back to lips. Kissing her again as his hand lay on the middle of her back. Y/n moaned into his mouth before both of their phones started ringing. Seungmin pulled away and sat up, grabbing her phone and answering the call, seeing it was from her lawyer, and looked at his, seeing the same.
     “Good morning Ms. L/n.” Y/n heard from the other end     “Good morning,” Y/n replied
     “I’m sorry if I woke you, but would you mind hopping on a conference call with Mr. Kim and his lawyer?” 
     “No, I’m actually with Mr. Kim right now.”
     “Oh, perfect! How about we end this call and you listen in on his phone?”
     “That works perfectly.”
     Y/n hung up the call and Seungmin placed his phone on speaker.
     “We’ll keep this short so you two can finally put this behind us and move on with your lives.”  Seungmin’s lawyer said
     “Mr. Yang has taken the plea deal.”     “He did?!” Y/n said
     “Yes. In pleading guilty to two counts of kidnapping, one of aggravated assault, and sexual assault, he is serving life in prison without the possibility of parole. He will not be getting out of prison.”
     “Thank you. That means a lot to us.” Seungmin said as he hugged his girlfriend from the side.
     “Of course. And the judge has granted you both restraining orders against him so he is legally not allowed to contact either of you.”
     Y/n thanked the team of lawyers over and over again before Seungmin ended the call and turned to her. Kissing her again as she cupped his cheeks. “He’s out of our lives.” Y/n cried
     “He’s locked up now,” Seungmin smiled and whipped her tears.
     Y/n giggled as he kissed her nose before he got out of bed. Y/n watched him walk over to his closet and grab something, sitting back next to her.
     “To a new beginning, I guess,” Seungmin said, handing her a black velvet box.
     Y/n looked at him as she hesitantly took it. Seungmin smiled as she opened it and caught sight of the engagement ring. “Min.”
     “I say we forget those two years now and just pick up where we left off now,” Seungmin smiled wide as he took the ring out of its box.
     “Yes,” Y/n smiled 
     Seungmin grabbed her hand and slipped the ring onto her finger. Y/n squealed and tackled him in a hug onto his back. The sound prompted a knock on the door from Minho and Jisung.
     “You guys okay?” Minho asked as he opened the door.
     “Couldn’t be better.” Seungmin smiled 
     “He took the plea deal. He’s behind bars for the rest of his life,” Y/n explained
     “Thank god. I don’t know what I would do if you guys had to sit in a courtroom with him.” Jisung sighed in relief
     “Yeah. I don’t want to see a courtroom until wedding day.” Seungmin said
     “Wedding?!” Jisung yelled
     “Look!” Y/n smiled, showing the two the engagement ring.
     “Have fun celebrating,” Minho said as he shut the door.
     Y/n smiled at her fiancé and pressed her lips to his again. Pecking kisses all over his face as he laughed at her. “Hey,” Seungmin chuckled before her lips were on his again
     “I love you,” Y/n mumbled against his lips
     “I love you too,” Seungmin mumbled back and wrapped his arms around her.
     Seungmin rolled her onto her back so he was on top of her, pulling back to look at his fiancée, “You okay?” He asked
     “Why wouldn’t I be?”
     “We haven’t done anything since we both got out and I know you had the abortion. I know it all took an emotional toll on you.”
     “And having you by my side helped me heal,” Y/n reassured him. “I know you’re not him either. I trust you, Min.”
     “Let me check if I even have condoms.” Seungmin got off her and checked his bedside drawers.
     Y/n got up and sat on the edge of the bed just as he found a box and set it on the nightstand. “Feeling lucky?” Y/n teased
     “When have you ever known me not to prepare for something?”
     “Do you want me to answer that?” Y/n teased as he laid her back, his turn to smother her with kisses. 
     “Those two years don’t exist, remember?” he reminded her 
     Seungmin pressed his lips to hers. Grabbing her hands and lacing their fingers together. Laying them against the mattress and pressing his body to hers. Y/n smiled as her lips moved in sync with his. 
     Seungmin moved one hand to hold her side as she hooked her legs around his hips. Pulling his hips closer to her, feeling his half-hard dick against her. 
     “Tell me to stop if you get uncomfortable,” Seungmin breathed as his lips moved down to her neck
     “You’re too good for me,” Y/n giggled
     “I’m perfect for you.” 
     Y/n blushed as he moved his hands up her shirt. Warm skin holding her sides and not going up anymore, not sure if he should as he lightly kissed her neck. Y/n grabbed the back of his shirt as his lips ghosted a certain spot on her neck.
     “There’s my favorite spot,” Seungmin mumbled as he rolled his hips against her.
     “Min,” Y/n moaned
     “I’m right here. Never going anywhere again.” He told her
     “Need you, Min, please,” Y/n moaned
     “Tell me what you want pretty.”
     “Mouth.”
     “Where do you want my mouth, love?”
     “Eat me out, please.”
     Seungmin pulled away from her and stood up. He pulled down her pajama pants, checking over her reaction as he did before he kneeled between her legs. The fabric on the floor next to him. Y/n sat up a bit on her elbows, looking down at him as he put her legs over his shoulders. He placed a kiss over her clothed clit as he looked up at her. Y/n smiled at him as his fingers curled over the waistband of the fabric and pulled it away. Adding it to the starting pile on the ground of clothes. Y/n grabbed a pillow from the bed and placed it behind her back for support as his lips wrapped around her clit.
     Y/n laced her fingers through his hair as he lightly sucked on the bud. A moan left her lips as he wrapped his arms around her thighs. Holding them tightly around his head as he switched between sucking on the clit and licking with his tongue. Eyes locked onto her, watching her reactions. 
     Watching her head roll back from the pleasure as she gripped his hair. Y/n moaned as he pressed a kiss to her clit, tongue moving through her folds. Head knocked forward to watch him as his tongue dipped into her. 
     “Min,” Y/n moaned as he moved his hand down. Lips wrapped around her clit again as a finger slid into her. 
     Y/n laid back against the mattress as she tightened her grip on his head. Seungmin smiled as he worked on her clit. Finger slowly moving in and out of her. “More. Please min!” Y/n begged 
     “My baby needs another finger in her?” Seungmin teased 
     “Yes. Please,” Y/n moaned 
     Seungmin gently slipped a second finger into her. Fingers stretched her out as he sucked a little harder on her clit. Hips jolted against him as he pushed his face closer. Moaning into her— he missed being here.
     Her moans were unfortunately muffled to him with her thigh pressing against his ears. But he would gladly live with that to be where he is now. His fingers spreading her open as she gripped his hair. Barley hearing her warning that she was close or his name falling from her lips like a mantra.
     He felt her high coat his fingers as Y/n arched off the bed. Seungmin switched his fingers for his tongue. Cleaning her up with his tongue as he wrapped his arms around her legs. Smothering himself into her while she rode out her high. Only pulling away when he felt her push him away from the sensitivity.
     “Alright still?” He asked, kissing the inside of her thighs before standing up.
     “Yeah,” Y/n breathed as he pecked her lips then cheeks
     “We don’t have to keep going if you don’t want to.”
     “Do you want to keep going?” Y/n asked, snaking her hands under his shirt
     “I do but just want to make sure you’re okay.” 
     “Seungmin, if you’re dick isn’t in me soon I’m going to combust.”
     Seungmin laughed at her and pulled his shirt off over his head. Both of them stripping away the last bit of their clothing. Y/n noticed the healed scars littering his skin as he turned and grabbed a condom. She caught his attention when she ran her hands over the scars.
     “You look sexy with the scars,” Y/n said as she looked up at him
     “I wasn’t sexy before?” Seungmin asked as he tore open the foil and rolled the rubber onto his length
     “You were. The scars just add a little more to it,” Y/n smiled as he leaned down.
     “Glad you think so,” Seungmin smiled, lining his tip up with her entrance. Slowly, he pushed inside her. Y/n wrapped her legs around his hips. Seungmin grabbed her hands and kissed her engagement rings. Slowly sinking into her as he kissed down her arm to distract her. Ending up over her again and pressing his lips to hers. Y/n wrapped her arms around him, smiling into the kiss as he pulled his hips back. Gently rocking into her.
     “Fuck, I missed this,” Seungmin groaned
     “Good thing we’ve got forever now,” Y/n moaned, lacing her fingers through his dark hair.
     “Not letting go of you ever again.”
     Gradually, Seungmin picked up his pace. Mostly when she would beg him to go faster. Her walls slightly pulsing around him from her previous orgasm. His lips trailed down from her lips to her chest. Kissing the top of her breasts as his hips gently knocked into hers.
     Her limbs tightened around him as his tip hit a specific spot inside her. A gasp leaving her and Seungmin knew. She felt his smiled against her skin as he brought a hand between their bodies. Thumb rolling along her clit as a loud moan escaped her. He angled his hips to hit that spot again and again. Y/n tried covering her moans, suddenly remember there were two other people in the house.
     “Let them hear baby. Not like they don’t already know,” Seungmin teased, “Let our friends know only I get to fuck you like this for the rest of our lives.”
     “‘M close,” Y/n moaned
     “Just needed a little dirty talk to get you there? Huh?” Seungmin asked
     “Please Minnie.”
     “Missed teasing you. Always riled up to quickly when I did. Obviously you still do too.” Seungmin nipped at her skin as her legs shook around him as her walls got tighter around him, “Gonna cum for me baby?”
     “Yes!” Y/n cried just before her orgasm came crashing down.
     Seungmin kept his pace as she rode out her high. Waiting for her limps to loosen arond him and her body go limp against the bed just a bit before he came in the condom. Slowing his thrusts till he was full inside her and let the rubber fill while he came down.
     Both of them taking a minute to catch their breaths again. Seungmin wrapped his arms around her waist and laid his head in her neck for a moment. “I love you. So much.” Seungmin mumbled
     “I love you too,” Y/n kissed the side of his head as she held him close.
     “Bath?” Seungmin asked
     “Yes please,” Y/n agreed
     Seungmin stood straight and pulled out of her. He took of the rubber and made she it didn’t break before tying it off and tossing it. He gave her a t-shirt as he threw on a pair of boxers before bringing her to the bathroom. He ran them a bath and let her do her little thing while he grabbed more clothes for them. Y/n took care of the bath till he came back in and took over. Pulling her in with him once it was ready. Seungmin wrapped his arms around her as the  warm water surrounded them.
     “I know I just proposed but, what do you think about moving in together?” Seungmin asked
     “I think that’s a great idea,” Y/n smiled and kissed his arms
     “Start looking after a nap?” He asked
     “You read my mind.”

Captured // Alexia Putellas x Original character pt. 5
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5
synopsis: Rosalie has never stayed too long at the same place. When the opportunity of a lifetime presents itself critical moment in her life, the photographer decides to once again leave behind what she knows and joins the staff of Europe's best football team.
Word count: 4,6k
18+ (eventually)
A/N: Spanish is from google translate so please be nice. French is my first language so all should be good on that part. Tell me what you think, be nice, enjoy.
The return to Barcelona wasn’t as smooth as their arrival trip. Rosalie had ended up with a seat next to Lucy, which was good because Lucy knew how to handle the younger brunette on a plane, but she couldn’t shake the slight disappointment she felt when she realized that she wouldn’t be sitting with the captain. Nonetheless she was still happy with her flight partner since she hadn’t seen much of the English woman during this trip.
Lucy had shown up at six at the photographer’s door, in full training gear and running shoes in her hand, and had forced the brunette to go out on a run with her to relax a little before the flight. They had ended up in a park with a track that circled a nice football pitch, and Lucy decided that it would be a great idea to challenge the runner on a race. Rosalie might be an experienced runner, but explosive speed was the older woman’s strength and an hour later, they were both lying on the field, panting like dogs, with Lucy undefeated. Running back was a completely different story for the defender who had used most of her energy on beating the younger woman in sprints. She was glad when she could see the hotel in front of us but groaned when the photographer lightly shoved her and yelled “ Race you there!”
At breakfast, Rosalie sat with her usual group, sandwiched between Keira and Ingrid, who made sure the brunette was occupied with conversation the whole time. Their goal was clear to the photographer who knew that they wanted her to focus on anything other than the plane trip ahead. Unbeknown to the pair, the task of keeping her distracted was already being fulfilled by the blonde sitting a few seats away from her.
Rosalie’s perception of the blonde had changed since their dinner the night before. Being able to spend some time with the captain without the pressure of work or football allowed Rosalie to see another side of the blonde that she hadn’t encountered before. Now, Alexia intrigued even more the photographer who wondered just how many sides the footballer keeps hidden.
Her daydreaming was interrupted by Keira who had been trying to get the French-Canadian's attention for the past minute. “ Hey, Frenchy are you still here with us?”
“ Oui, yes I’m sorry I was caught up in my own thoughts.” The brunette said, turning towards her friends.
“ It’s ok really, we just wanted to know if you were coming to team building night with us?” Ingrid said.
“ Isn’t that for players only?” the brunette said confused. Back with Arsenal, she never got invited to this sort of night, even if she was, or she thought, one of the player’s girlfriends.
“ Not necessarily no. It is just a normal night with friends and we’d like for you to come.” Keira said, smiling at the photographer.
“ I’d love to.” Rosalie said, turning towards Ingrid. “ When would that be?”
“ We were thinking about two weeks from now, after the game against Levante. I’m just trying to see how many we’re gonna be so I can make a reservation at the restaurant.” The Norwegian said, picking up her phone to look at options. The rest of the breakfast was spent organizing the supper, allowing the photographer to forget about their approaching departure. Unfortunately, her feeling of dread and anxiety came rushing back as soon as she picked up her luggage from the bus and walked towards the terminal. The flight went relatively well for the brunette, who stayed wide awake this time, leaning against Lucy while a bad comedy was playing on the small screen in front of them.
Alexia, who was a few seats behind the duo, could not help but wonder how the smaller woman was fairing and finally succumbed to her urge to make sure the photographer was alright by getting up and quickly trying to find something to say to justify her presence next to them. As she arrived at their seat, a small smile crept on her face at the sight of the brunette bundled up in her oversized hoodie, with her hood engulfing her head almost entirely. She crouched down next to her and took her hand in her own to give it a light squeeze. Without letting the photographer’s hand go, she turned her attention to the defender. “ Could you remind me again of yours and Keira’s departure dates for international break?” She asked the English woman who seemed surprised by the question.
“ Yeah sure mate,” she said, pulling out her phone to check her emails. “ Why do you need to know so soon? Isn’t it in almost two months?” she asked
“ Uhh, I’m just planning ahead.” She said, hoping that the older woman would not see through the real reason for her presence here. Meanwhile, the photographer had significantly relaxed since the captain had arrived next to her, and was putting all her focus on the way the blonde’s thumb was tracing soothing patterns on the back of her hand.
Too soon for the brunette’s liking, Lucy found the email with the dates she was looking for and gave them to Alexia, who had no more reason to stay with them. She gave one last squeeze to the photographer’s hand and walked back to her seat. Lucy, who was far from dumb, had a good idea of exactly why her captain had come to their row, and it surely wasn’t to know their departure’s dates. She sent a look to the younger woman, who simply answered with one that clearly said, : “Not now Luce.”
It was the middle of the afternoon when the brunette finally stepped in the comfort of her small apartment. She refused to let it show too much during their trip, but she was truly exhausted from the strain two plane rides in such a short amount of time had had on her, and as soon as her body hit the bed, she was gone and did not wake up until the morning after. The rest of her weekend was spent mostly working on the editing of the shots she had taken during their day off and training. She decided to go check out the Olympic pool near her place and swim a few laps to allow her body to recover from the week's intense running sessions.
For the players, the week after a match was always slower than their usual training, but for the rest of the staff, it was when their schedules would be the most hectic. Rosalie started her week by following a few players on a media appearance for a foundation that helps little girls persevere in sports, then it was media day which took by storm the whole training complex. Various interviews and fun videos were being filmed all over the facility and Rosalie’s job was to roam from station to station and capture the girls during their appearances. On top of that, the brunette had her usual training content to shoot and edit.
This week’s workload meant that coffee with her favourite couple wasn’t possible, which saddened them even though they understood why. Rosalie also postponed her night with the English couple who were very eager to bombard the Canadian with all the questions they had so nicely kept to themselves during the trip. It was a relief for the brunette, who knew that sooner or later, she would have to go through her best friend’s interrogation.
Weekend couldn't come soon enough for Rosalie. Friday would be a bittersweet day for the photographer who had to finish and send the media day content tonight at the latest for their release the next day, which most likely meant a late night at the office again. Her hunch turned out to be right as she checked the clock around four and realized that she wasn’t nearly done. The girls had already left and the training facility was dead silent when the photographer left her office. Rosalie almost jumped at the sound of her ringtone echoing in the empty car park. The name that lit up her screen made the brunette’s eyes roll as she picked up the call.
“ Non.”
“ Oui.”
“ Non, je viens de finir de travailler, Je suis complètement brûlée, pas ce soir.” Rosalie said in a whiny tone as she all but threw her bags in the backseat of her small sedan.
“Too late, we're already at your place darling.” Lucy said laughing. Rosalie could hear Keira whine in the background for her to come quickly because she was tired of waiting to eat. “ We brought your favourite, now get your arse here, we’ve got questions that need answering.” The defender didn’t even wait for the younger girl’s answer and hung up.
“Mais quel enfoiré.” Rosalie took all the detours humanly possible, just to annoy the older woman. At the sight of Lucy waiting by the stairs of her apartment, Rosalie felt like a child getting scolded by her mum. She took a deep breath and climbed the few stairs that were left between her and her apartment.
“ Took you long enough.”
“ Traffic, ya know”
“ Fuck off you cunt you did this just to fuck with us.” Lucy said as she followed the Canadian back in her flat.
“ Woah woah votre langage madame Bronze.”
“ You’re lucky we like you Frenchy.” She pulled out the bags of fish and chips she had brought while Rosalie pulled out beers for everyone. She eagerly took the plate that was handed to her and made a face at the first bite.
“ I know, it’s not like back home.” Keira said, stealing a few chips from Rosalie’s plate.
“ It doesn’t taste bad, it just does not deserve the title of fish and chips.” Rosalie said, bringing her plate and beer to the couch. The two women followed her, Keira beside her on the couch and Lucy on the ground, on the other side of the coffee table.
“ Ok I’m done waiting so now, what the hell is going on with you and Alexia.”Rosalie almost choked on her fish at the younger English woman’s question.
“ There’s nothing going on”
“ What do you mean? There’s nothing going on. She keeps staring at you!” Keira said in an animated tone.
“Rosalie, you fell asleep on her shoulder, in the goddamn plane.” Lucy added. The brunette was cornered, she could not lie to these girls, they were her family, they knew her too well.
“ She’s just.. she’s easy company you know. We get along nice.” She said, hoping that would be enough for them, but she knew it definitely would not be.
“ We all saw how you were looking at her on the last morning of the trip. You haven’t looked at anyone like that before, not even…”
“Don’t,” Rosalie quickly interrupted. She didn’t want to compare Alexia, even in the slightest bit, to the Irish defender. “ She’s just very intriguing, you know. I haven’t quite met anyone like her before.”
“ She’s a pure soul, that one,” Lucy said, staring at her best friend who was currently looking everywhere but at the two friends. “ She’s shy and closed off but once she opens up, she is truly one of the most authentic girls I’ve met.” She said with a fond smile playing on her lips.
“ Why are you guys telling me all this?” Rosalie asked. Sure, she understood that these women were her family and they simply wanted to know what was going on but this felt like more than the usual interrogation she would be subjected to. It almost felt like they were encouraging the photographer to pursue whatever was going on between the brunette and the blonde.
“ No reason in particular, we just want you to be happy.” Keira said, trapping the brunette in a hug.
“Ok you can let me go now, you’re crushing me” they stayed silent for a moment, contempt in eating their food and unwinding after their week, until Keira decided to break the silence.
“ She talks about you, you know? With Mapi and some of the Spanish players. They think I’m not good enough in Spanish to understand when they speak fast, but I’m better now, and I can understand some stuff.” Keira said, happily stealing more chips from the photographer’s plate, who was too stunt by the woman’s statement to react. Lucy on the other hand, could not hold back the laugh that came out when she saw the look on the younger woman’s face. A deep blush formed on her cheek as she got off the couch and walked to the kitchen to put away her plate.
“I’m sure it was probably something about the shoot or the most recent post.” Rosalie said, trying to occupy herself until her face would turn back to its original colour.
“ No, no I heard your name, than “guapa” was somewhere in there and then they all agreed.”
“ Kei seriously, that could be about anything.”
“ I’m telling you, they were talking about you.” Keira said with a wide teasing grin on her face. They went back and forth like that for a few minutes while Lucy was laughing at the interaction. The couple ended up staying over until past midnight before finally deciding to make their way home.
“ By the way, you’re coming to the beach tomorrow, I’ll send you the time and address!” Lucy said as she stepped out of the brunette’s apartment and closed the door behind her, not leaving time for her to give an actual answer.
The next day she woke up with a text from Lucy only containing a time and an address for a beach not too far from the city. Rosalie had no idea what to bring for this occasion so she assumed that since they were meeting up around lunch time, she should probably pack some food, a quick call to Keira confirmed her suspicion and allowed her to also add beer to the list of things to bring. She put on her favourite bikini with a pair of linen shorts and a swimsuit cover, grabbed her camera bag and her backpack and hopped in her car.
The Canadian had never gone through this part of the city and decided to go explore it on her next run. Her GPS led her to a small parking area in front of a path in the woods. She parked between Lucy’s Cupra and another car that looked similar to Lucy’s but wasn’t familiar to the brunette. On the other side of the car park, she spotted Mapi and Ingrid’s car as well as other nice vehicles that probably belonged to Barça players. When she arrived on the beach, Rosalie realized that this was more than just a hangout between a few friends. Lucy and Keira were here, along with Mapi and Ingrid, Patri, Pina, Vicky, Jana, Aitana, mariona and finally, Alexia.
Barking was heard along with the sound of rapid little steps coming her way. She was greeted with a small white dog she knew very well, along with a small pomeranian. Narla jumped around at Rosalie’s feet, too excited for the Canadian to pet her, but the small pomeranian kept scratching at her leg. The photographer bent down and picked up the small fluffy dog, who immediately licked her face.
A chorus of “Hola”’s and happy cheers was heard as the French-Canadian made her way towards the group, with the small dog still in her arms. “ Finally! We were starting to think you got lost on your way.” Mapi said, hugging her friend tightly and taking the bags in the brunette’s hands so she could greet the rest of the girls.
“ Blame Lucy, she told me to be here at twelve.”
“ I see you met Nala.” Ingrid said, approaching the photographer, hugging her gently to not crush the ball of fur who was getting comfortable in the brunette’s arms.
“ Oui, she’s a little angel,” She said, kissing the top of the dog’s head, “ Who’s the lucky owner? Gotta know who I need to fight in order to bring her home.” She said laughing.
“She’s Alexia’s.” Mapi said, with a cheeky smile, “ She usually takes a while to warm up to people.” Rosalie could feel the blush that was creeping up her cheeks.
“ Good to know…”
“ Ok, can we eat now? I’m starving.” Mapi said as she turned around, to make her way towards the coolers. Ingrid smiled at her girlfriend’s antics and beckoned the French-Canadian to follow her towards the rest of the group. She helped Ingrid and Aitana set up the little potluck while the rest of the girls were setting up some beach chairs and towels around. The sun was high in the sky and not a single cloud could be seen, the heat was quickly getting to the Canadian who decided that the swimsuit cover was not helping cooling her off. She got up and took off the shirt, her actions not missed by a certain blonde, who was in the middle of a game of touch. The action made Alexia completely miss, which made the little group snicker at their captain.
“Capitán, debería limpiarse la baba de las comisuras de la boca.!” Patri said, laughing at her captain 's flustered face.
“ Oy, callate idiota!” To be fair, Alexia was not the only one staring. The photographer had put on a dark green bikini that complemented perfectly her tanned skin and showed off her athletic figure.
“ Ella es muy caliente.” The comment came from Pina, who received a sharp slap to the back of her head.
“Behave”
“ Si Capitana.”
The food was finally set up and the group was called back by the rest of the girls to come eat. Rosalie mainly stayed with Ingrid and Aitana since she still wasn’t used to being with this many new people at once. She quickly found out that there was absolutely no reason to be shy around the girls. The atmosphere was very playful and the air was filled with laughter and bickering in broken English since they all knew that Rosalie and Keira weren’t completely comfortable in Spanish.
“ Rosie! If you want to make your Spanish better, I know someone who’s a very good teacher.” Patri said with a shit eating grin.
“ Si, si very patient, very good teacher. She would love to teach you, right Capitana?” Pina added, trying to hold back her laugh. The look the captain sent the girls would have scared anyone in their right mind, but the younger players were too busy laughing to notice their captain’s wrath coming their way. A sharp cry and a whine was heard when the football connected with the side of Pina’s head.
“Cállate, te lo merecías.” Alexia said as she pushed the younger girl towards the area they had been playing previously.
“ I don’t know if they were serious or not, but I kinda really do need help with Spanish. The online courses I’ve been taking are little to no help with understanding native speakers.” The brunette said as she set up her towel between Ingrid and another towel.
“I’m sure she would love to help.” Ingrid said with a knowing smile. The light sound of little paws hitting the sand caught the attention of the photographer who turned her head to see Nala strut her way. The little dog came over to the photographer to get a few pets then made a beeline to the towel next to her to pick up a little chew toy. Nalla then turned to make her way back to Rosalie to lay right in the middle of her towel. Rosalie laughed at the little dog’s antics while Ingrid smiled and turned to her friend.
“Now that your spot has been taken, you should go show these children how it’s done.” She said, motioning to the little group playing a game of touch. Mapi’s head shot up at her girlfriend’s words.
“ Yes, yes, let’s go, I want to see what you are capable of.” Rosalie let Mapi drag her up and to the group. She stood between Patri and Mapi and after a few passes, she was just as excited and hyped as the rest of the girls. They played for a while, working up a sweat with the sand sticking to their skin. Even though the brunette was focused on the game, she couldn’t stop herself from glancing at the blonde captain. She looked gorgeous in her light blue bikini, tanned skin glowing in the sunlight. She looked so carefree and genuinely happy. Their eyes met and both the women smiled wildly, until a particularly daring kick sent the ball straight to the ocean.
“ Rosie! You are a runner, si?” Patri said, lightly shoving the brunette to get her attention. “ The first to get to the ball gets to dunk the other one in the ocean!” She yelled, already taking off full speed towards the waves.
“ Hey! Non, that’s not fair!” She said laughing as she took off behind the midfielder who had too great of a head start for the Canadian to be able to catch up to her.
As soon as she reached the ball, she felt hands grab her by the waist and hoist her up only to launch her straight in the water. The photographer let out a loud shriek as she hit the cold refreshing waters. She could hear behind her the cheers of the rest of the girls who had made their way to Patri.
Rosalie walked out of the water, slicking her hair back with a sinister smile as she approached Patri, who was still caught in an uncontrollable laughter. She jumped on the player’s back and dragged her down in the water with her. Alexia saw this as an opportunity to get back at Pina for the teasing and grabbed the younger player, hoisting her on her shoulders and walking off in the water to dump her near the two other women who were busy splashing each other.
They all stay in the water for a while, teaming up against one another in a slashing battle. Patri and Rosalie against Claudia and Alexia. The footballers weren’t playing around and Rosalie quickly realized that she was in over her head. For the second time today, a pair of hands landed on her hips but this time, the touch sent shivers down the brunette’s back. She went still which allowed Alexia to swiftly pick her up as she carried the photographer away from the two other Spanish women, too busy bickering and slashing each other to notice the absence of their friends.
The midfielder set Rosalie down, but her hands on her hips stayed until she decided the woman was stable enough on her feet. “ I am sorry, I thought that you looked a little overwhelmed out there," she said, smiling at the smaller woman.
“They do play a little too rough for me.” she said, following Alexia as she started walking deeper in the sea. She was silent, only looking at the water stretching endlessly in front of her. Rosalie could see that something was bothering the blonde. Her beautiful smile had faded and her eyes held a worried look. “I can sense something is not right.” She said softly to the blonde who turned to look at the photographer.
“ It’s just that, the euros are getting nearer, national camp is in a few weeks and the girls are a little on edge with everything that has been going on lately.” The photographer was aware of the tensions in the national football scene in Spain. She knew that the players were fighting for better conditions and better treatment from the coaches, and she knew that this fight had cost some of the girls their chance to represent their country in some of the most important sports events. It was hard for the girls who had to stay behind . It was also hard for the ones who had decided to stay with the team but were enduring the poor treatment from the staff and management. Seeing these girls today, so happy and carefree, she could not fathom just how much pressure was resting on their shoulders.
“ Days like these are important, you know,” The photographer said, getting closer to the captain. “ They help unwind, allow you to forget about everything you know?”
“ I’m not very good at relaxing.” The blonde said, chuckling.
“ What do you like to do on your days off?”
“ I don’t know, I don’t get a lot of those.”
“ Ok, so what would a perfect day off be for La Reina?” The photographer said with a cheeky smile. Alexia gave the photographer a big eye roll before answering.
“ Probably going to get coffee, walk around the market. Maybe buy supplies to cook a nice supper and relax with a movie. Something simple I guess.” Alexia said with a distant look in her eyes. In this moment, Rosalie wished she could take all the pressure on the blonde’s shoulders and carry it for her for a little while, just so she could catch her breath. Unable to do such a thing, the brunette thought of the next best thing.
“ Tomorrow there’s no training right?”
“ Si, no training.”
“ And you don’t have anything planned?”
“ I was gonna train alone and work on some side projects, why?”
“ No you are not, because tomorrow, you are bringing me to your favourite coffee shop and to that market you talked about. Then you are coming back to my place and I’d like you to show me how to make Paella. I've always wanted to try making it but my cooking skills are horrendous.” Rosaie said in a tone that left no space for arguing. Alexia smiled at the smaller woman, she was surprised by the French-Canadian’s proposition but could not be happier with the turn this conversation took. She took the brunette’s hand and brought it to her lips. The action made Rosalie freeze on the spot as she felt the blonde’s lips graze the back of her hand, which sent a shock wave that traveled her whole body and made her breath hitch.
“ It is a date then.” Alexia said, letting the brunette’s hand go and walking back to the beach with a wide smile plastered on her face. Rosalie on the other hand, was still frozen at the same spot, trying to gather exactly what had happened between them. A deep blush had crept on her face and the woman felt hot all over. She lowered herself in the water, dunking her head to try and cool herself off, or wake up for this dream, but she emerged at the same spot, with the silhouette of the footballer walking in front of her, almost reaching the rest of the group, who was now sunbathing.
Walking back to her towel, she could see that Nala had moved to the top of Alexia's towel, near the blonde’s head. She was laying on her stomach, which allowed the photographer a clear view of the multitude of tattoos on the captain’s back. The photographer got comfortable on her back and shoved one airpod in her ear, leaving the other one free to hear the crash of the waves on the sand. She felt something fluffy brush against her hand and opened her eyes to see Nala had changed spots again, deciding to lay between the two women, making sure she was touching Alexia and Rosalie’s hand at once. With the soft music playing in her ear, the sound of the ocean and Alexia’s calming presence, Rosalies quickly surrendered to the week’s exhaustion and let herself drift to sleep.

Met Gala 2024
Jack X Urban's little sister reader AU
Summary - You and Jack attend the Met Gala, except not together, technically.
A/N- This is NOT a Jack and Emma fic, the face claim for this AU just happens to be Emma Chamberlain, so I thought why not include it in this AU, plus why not give the reader her little Claudia Sulewski moment, I've always pictured her being similar, so it worked out. Just wanted to make a little disclaimer. Also I miss writing for this AU.
Tumblr media
You had no idea when you started posting random videos on Youtube years ago when you were bored on tour with your brother and Jack would lead to you hosting Vogue’s Met Gala interviews, but here you were getting ready to host for the fourth Met Gala in a row. To be fair, the first year the person who was supposed to do it, dropped at the last minute.
People loved the sneak peeks they got into your, Jack's, and Urban’s lives through your videos, and they also loved your personality and how you interviewed celebrities. People liked your interviews with Jack though. Your first Met Gala, Jack didn’t attend. The second Met Gala is when that interview happened. You and Jack weren’t dating during the interview that went viral, but you both knew how you felt about each other. You just hadn’t told each other yet. You started dating shortly after, and here you two were 2 years later. 
You were getting your hair and makeup done on one side of the hotel room, Jack was lying on the bed, eating some grapes you had left over from breakfast. You looked in the reflection of the mirror, seeing Jack holding a grape, looking at you and then at the grape repeatedly.
“I swear if you throw that grape at me,” You said, and Jack ate the grape.
“I’m bored,” Jack complained. 
“Go bother Urban, he should be awake by now,” You said, and Jack sighed. “J, I’m going to be here for a while, just go hang out with Urban, and I’ll text you when I’m done,”
“Okay,” Jack said, standing up and walking over to kiss you, “I love you.”
“Love you too,” You said, Jack started to walk out of the room. “I swear, marrying your brother’s best friend is like marrying that annoying slightly older boy who’s always around for some reason,” You joked to your hairstylist and makeup artist.
“Hey, I heard that,” Jack pretended to be offended.
“I meant for you too,” You joked as Jack walked out of the room.
A little while later, you were done with your hair and makeup and Jack and Urban had made their way back to the room. You had about 30 minutes before you and Jack had to start getting dressed, so you were all just hanging out in the meantime. 
“Do you still want to go to that after-party?” Jack asked you.
“I mean, I wouldn’t be against just coming back to the hotel, but if you want to go we can,” You said, laying your head on his shoulder, being careful not to mess up your hair or makeup.
“It’s up to you, we can wait and decide after, I know Neelam told them we were going, but I told them that we might not make it.”
“Don’t you guys always go to the after-parties?” Urban asked.
“Yeah, but we’re just, uh, not really feeling it this year,” You said.
“I swear, you two got married and you two got boring,” Urban teased.
“You never even liked it when I went to the same parties as you.”
“Yeah, but now you're older, and I guess kind of cool sometimes.”
“Sometimes?” You asked, pretending to be shocked, and Urban laughed.
“Hey, you’re still my little sister, you’re still annoying sometimes.” You reached over and stole a french fry from Urban’s plate. “Like when you do that,” Urban said and you laughed.
Once it was time for you to get dressed, you and Jack were led to separate rooms and helped into your outfits. Jack in his light gray pants and white suit top, he hadn’t put his suit jacket on yet and you in your brown sheer dress. You weren’t walking the carpet together, but you still wanted to get ready together. You were getting your hair and makeup touched up, about to leave.
“Are you doing any interviews?” You asked Jack, and he shook his head.
“No, but I’ll come see you,” Jack said, wrapping his arms around you as your hair and makeup artists stepped away. 
“Good, because interviewing my husband is a little awkward, but I’d be sad if you didn’t at least come say hi,” You said and Jack laughed. 
“Well, before you go, I think you look beautiful,” Jack said, resting his hands on your lower back, and pulling you closer to him.
“Thank you,” You smiled, kissing Jack softly.
An hour and a half later, you saw Jack out of the corner of your eye walking down the carpet, stopping periodically as the photographers took pictures of him. You smiled to yourself as you watched your husband. Your eyes met and you felt butterflies, it was crazy that even though you were married, he still made you feel the same way he made you feel when you just had a little crush on him.
Jack made his way down the carpet as your producer got your attention, she was explaining something as Jack walked up behind you, pulling you into a side hug. 
“Hi, I’ve missed you,” Jack smiled as you turned towards him, pulling him into a proper hug.
“I’ve missed you too, you look great,” You said, straightening the flower pin on his jacket as you pulled away.
“You look great as well, how’s it going?” Jack asked, you placed the microphones down.
“Good, but better now that you’re here.”
“Oh and you say I’m cheesy,” Jack teased, making you laugh. Your producer interrupted your moment, letting you know that you were supposed to interview the next celebrity approaching. “I’ll quit distracting you.” 
“Okay, I’ll see you inside. Don’t have too much fun without me.”
“I won’t, but we’ll have fun when we get back to the hotel,” Jack laughed as you hid your face in his chest.
“You’re so lucky that I love you,” You teased.
“You’re the one who agreed to marry me,” Jack joked. 
“I love you, I’ll see you inside,” You said, kissing Jack softly.
“I love you too,” Jack said, letting his hand linger on your waist as long as it could as he walked away.

Nebraska, 1987.
“During autumn, Nebraska is colder than at home. So don’t take off your sweater.”
That was the first thing your dad said when he helped you get out of the car.
Garrett and Mike were already playing tag around the campsite. You chuckled and ran after them, following them into the woods.
That night, at the police station, as you sat beside the only sibling you had left now, you realized your dad was right. Nebraska was indeed colder than Hurricane.
November, 2000.
The past months had been rough.
With Max’s disappearance, you had no choice but to quit your job and stay home to look after Abby while Mike was at work.
After all, Mike had an accident (that he didn’t want to tell you anything about) which caused him to lose another job, which meant even more cost-cutting since he couldn’t keep one job for too long, nor get a high-paying one.
Abby had been there with him the night of the “accident” and she didn’t want to say a thing about it either.
It was driving you insane.
At least things with Aunt Jane had gotten better. But that only was because you had found her passed out in the living room the same night Mike had been injured, and she never came back to bother you and your siblings ever since.
So currently, you were struggling financially, like you always did. 
Mike always got the worst of it.
The smallest portion at dinner, the cheapest clothes, the most worn-out shoes.
You lived in a perpetual state of worrying about him. He would just give you a tired smile, and say, “It’s alright.”
You knew it wasn’t.
Everything changed after Mike lost his job at that old restaurant.
Mike and Abby’s relationship had been magically fixed, or at least that’s how it felt. 
She wasn’t shutting both of you out anymore, and Mike had become more calm and understanding.
There was also Vanessa, the police girl who had stayed a couple of weeks at your house. She was Abby and Mike’s friend and had also been involved in whatever happened in that old place.
Mike had let her stay in the house while recovering from whatever injury she had suffered.
She had slept on the couch. Sometimes you would go to the kitchen for water in the middle of the night, and you would find her awake, looking through the window.
Vanessa never talked much, at least not with you, she seemed to like Mike more. But you would still stay with her until she whispered goodnight and slipped under the blankets.
Sometimes, you would stay even after she had fallen asleep. You were the only one who could wake her from her nightmares after all.
Then she had moved out and you barely saw her. Sometimes she would drop Abby off from school, or Mike would invite her to dinner.
Vanessa was… fine. 
It’s not that you didn’t like her. 
No. 
You liked her very much.
But you didn’t have time to acknowledge what that meant. Much less let her know.
 Not that you were thinking of actually doing it.
After all, it seemed like everyone's life was improving, except for yours.
You still couldn’t go to college like you wanted to, since there were no babysitters around to look out for your little sister.
Mike was still jumping from job to job, getting paid barely enough to help with the mortgage and the basic groceries. And you couldn’t help with that either, since nobody wanted to hire you just for the part-time, and even if they wanted to, Mike wouldn’t approve of it.
And even worse, you couldn’t even go out to make friends, because, even if your older brother had changed, he was still as overbearing and overprotective with you.
You were sure that if you went to look at the meaning of overzealous on the library computers, his name would be the first thing to come up.
It always drove you nuts.
Even if you were young, you were already an adult. You didn’t need him to always keep an eye on you.
You understood it was just a trauma response. You really did.
You were there the day Garrett was kidnapped, after all. You recalled the horrified look on Mike’s face as they were interrogating him. His cheeks were tear-stained, his eyes red-rimmed, and he was so pale anyone could have mistaken him as a ghost.
You could remember him saying, “I just looked away for a second. I swear it was just a second,” to your parents' sorrowful faces over and over again.
Still, it didn’t mean you had to suffer such consequences. You wanted to live a normal life, as normal as you could, regardless of what had happened.
Abby sighed profoundly and shifted on her seat, frowning at her drawing. 
You were in the kitchen, making dinner, and close enough to her to notice her discontent, so you pushed the salad you just finished aside and looked at her.
“What’s wrong, Abz?”
She made a face, meeting your gaze. “My friend from school invited me to have a sleepover tonight, but Mike won’t let me go.”
You frowned. When did this kid make friends at school?
And why were you just finding out about it?
“Well, uh,” you trailed off. “Did he give you a reason? Like, is he going to stay late at work tonight?”
Abby shook her head, looking back at her drawing, and put the crayon she was holding down on the table.
Just then, as if you had summoned him, Mike opened the door and stepped into the house.
Abby and you turned to look at him as he took out his jacket, and stepped out of his shoes.
He smiled at Abby, first, ruffling her hair, and looked at her drawing.
“That’s a good one,” he murmured, looking at Abby. He then turned to look at you.
“What’s with that face?” Mike asked casually.
“Abby told me something interesting,” you said, focusing on the salad again.
Mike hummed, peeking into the pots on the stove, and checked what you were cooking. “What did she say?”
You huffed, setting the salad to the side again.
“Well, first of all,” you turned to look at him. “I have just been made aware that she has a friend in school.”
Mike chuckled softly, leaving the pots alone to face you. “Ah, yes. It’s true, she has a school friend.”
You huffed, frustrated. Did neither of them feel like this was important information? After all the time Abby had struggled to make real friends?
“And also,” you continued, “her friend invited her to a sleepover, and you didn’t allow it.”
Mike sighed, already tired from the conversation. “Yes, that’s true, too.”
“So, why can’t she go?” You crossed your arms.
Mike shrugged. “It's not safe for her.”
You scoffed. “You're unbelievable. It's just a sleepover. What's the worst that could happen? Kids consuming too much sugar? She asking her friend's mom to call you because she misses her room? ”
Mike huffed, shaking his head, and tried to walk away from the conversation.
You followed him across the hall and into his room.
“Come on, Mike. What's the worst that could happen? Seriously.”
Mike sighed, turning to face you while he tossed away his tie. “I don't know – I mean, we don't know these people. God knows what strange habits–”
“Are you hearing yourself?” you said, disbelief clear in your voice. “You’re accusing people you don’t know of being,” you gestured with your hands, “weirdos, just because you’re afraid of letting Abby out of your sight!”
Mike rolled his eyes, scoffing. “I'm not afraid, I'm just being careful! It's my job as an older brother–”
“You won't have control over her all her life. You know that, right?” You argued back. “She might be a kid right now but she’ll keep on growing and things will get out of hand, Mike.”
The conversion was turning into a whole-blown argument. You knew you shouldn't press Mike's buttons further, but it was too late to care about that.
“Y/N,” he said in a warning tone. “Don't start this again.”
You scoffed, “Start what, exactly?”
“You know what. I'm not in the mood to argue.”
“You're never in the mood for anything!” You snapped at him. “All you do is work,” you continued. “Or rather, try to keep your job and watch over us like you're our bodyguard. You are going to asphyxiate us with your intensity.”
“I'm just trying to keep you two safe!”
Your voices were raised so high that Abby could probably hear the discussion from the living room.
“Keep us safe–”
“Oh, please,” he practically mocked. “You know I have reasons!”
Before you could argue back, he continued.
“Abby is a kid. She doesn’t understand the dangers she could be in, and you,” Mike met your gaze, “you think I don't notice how you look at me sometimes? Like I'm ruining your life? Like you hate me?”
You huffed, “I don't hate you! I just– I just want some space, okay?”
Mike scoffed, but you ignored him.
“I want to be able to go out at night, to have a job, and make money not only for us to have something to eat, but to buy things for myself too. I want to stop worrying so much about you!”
You took a long breath, trying to calm down.
“I want a normal life. A normal, relaxing life, Mike. Where I can make friends and go on dates without having to sneak out because you won’t agree.”
“Y/N–” he tried to interrupt.
“No!” you cut him off. “You think I don’t know who I remind you of? You think I don't know that when you look at me, you think of Garrett? You think I don’t hear when you tell Abby I look just like him?”
“That’s not true!” he shook his head, now seemingly hurt. “Look, I'm just trying to look out for you! For you and Abby. I'm your big brother–” he said, exasperated. And that was your last straw.
“We don't need you to protect us! Did you forget what happened the last time you tried to look out for one of us?”
A deafening silence followed. Mike deflated, his words dying in his mouth.
You looked at each other for a second before you realized what had been said.
“Fuck,” you exhaled. “Mike, I'm sorr–”
“Get out.”
“But–” You approached him, and tried to take his hand but he cringed, pulling away.
“Please, just…” he trailed off, not looking at you. “Just leave.”
You looked around, thinking of what to do. 
Something, anything that could change the situation you were in.
But of course, there was nothing to do, at least not until Mike had calmed down.
So you left his room, looked at him one last time, and closed the door.
You stood still outside his door, letting everything sink in. You were still angry, but you also felt guilty.
Using Garrett’s kidnapping as an argument during the discussion was a low blow. If there was a hell, you were fucked.
Running your hands through your hair, you approached the living room.
Abby was still sitting at the dining table, eyes fixated on her now-finished drawing.
“Abby?” you called, softly.
She didn’t react. It was one of those moments when she felt stressed so she wouldn’t acknowledge you– or anyone, for that matter.
You sighed, took your jacket from the coat hanger, and stormed out of the house.
You walked for a while, just following the river.
After a good fifteen minutes, you stopped. It was cold, and your jacket wasn’t warm enough.
You sighed in frustration, kicking rocks into the water, and finally decided to sit on the grass.
“Was it really that serious?” You thought. After all, even if it was annoying, Mike's overprotectiveness had probably saved you from a lot of trouble.
You ripped up handfuls of grass as you stared at the water.
“Yes, it is,” you said out loud. Blaming him for Garrett’s disappearance was shitty, but you knew your anger was justified. Mike couldn’t keep being like this.
Not with you, and not with Abby, either. He needed to understand. To learn.
But how would he understand and learn if you only told him about your frustrations after bottling up and then exploding?
It wasn’t fair to him, either. Mike would just feel like you’re being antagonistic.
Grumbling, you rummaged through your jacket’s pockets. The wind had started to pick up and you needed something to warm up.
You pulled out a cigarette pack and a lighter from the front pocket of your jacket.
You huffed. Mike would kill you if he found out. 
Lighting the cigarette, you took a quick drag and as you put the items away again, you felt something strange in your pocket. 
Frowning, you placed the cigarette between your lips and reached into your pocket, pulling out a folded piece of paper.
Humming, you unfolded it without care, not remembering what it was.
You almost choked on the smoke.
It was a drawing from Abby.
She had given it to you a few weeks ago after you picked her up from school.
It was a drawing of you, her, Mike, and a little airplane toy. Garrett's favorite.
“God-fucking-dammit,” you said, putting the cigarette back in between your lips to avoid getting ash on the paper.
“Language,” a voice behind you said, and you jumped, turning around.
Standing there, with her blonde hair swaying slightly in the wind, was Vanessa.
“Great,” you thought.
Out of all the people you could have run into this situation, it had to be her.
You noted was wearing civilian clothes: jeans, a cheap-looking sweater, and a jacket. Her hair was also down. Very different from her usual everyday look.
“That’s bad for your lungs. You know that right?” she said, pointing to the cigarette between your lips.
You grumbled, turning to face the water again, and she took it as an invitation to sit beside you.
“I mean that,” Vanessa said, staring at you.
You took a drag and blew the smoke away from her. “I know.”
She hummed. “Does Mike know?”
You frowned, looking at your shoes while the cigarette slowly burned in your hand.
“There’s a lot of things Mike doesn’t know about me,” you answered, meeting her gaze.
You stared at each other for a moment before she spoke again. “Can I?” She said, pointing to the cig. You handed it to her, and she took a puff from the cig.
You smiled. “I thought you said it’s bad for your lungs. What changed?”
Vanessa rolled her eyes, blowing the smoke. She took another puff, then looked at you.
“Nothing has changed, it’s still bad,” and as she said it, she threw the cigarette into the water.
You gasped. “Hey, those are not cheap!”
It was her turn to smile then. “I know.”
You huffed. “Between this and Mike’s pills, I think you can be considered an environmental terrorist.”
Her smile faltered. “He told you about the pills?”
You nodded slowly, humming. “Mike tells me everything,” you said with a smile.
You paused, your mind returning to the night that he arrived limping and with several superficial wounds and scratches, and with a trembling Abby beside him.
“Almost everything,” you thought out loud.
Vanessa looked at the glistening water. “What makes you say that?”
You scoffed. “Come on. Something happened to him in that old pizzeria, and he won’t speak about it. Neither will Abby.”
You looked at her. She shifted uncomfortably under your gaze.
“And I’m assuming you won’t, either.”
She cleared her throat.
“It’s…” She paused for a moment, thinking of what to say. “It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s just something I shouldn’t be the one to tell you.”
You sighed, looking towards the water again. “Called it.”
You two stayed silent for a moment before you spoke up again. “How did you find me anyway?”
Vanessa sighed, rubbing her forehead with one hand.
“Oh,” you breathed out. “Of course.”
Mike had told her to find you.
“He's your brother, Y/N,” she said softly. “I'm sure he only wants what's best for you.”
You felt a twinge of annoyance.
"Yeah sure..." you said sarcastically, rolling your eyes. "He's always known what's best for me. Like when he convinced me to leave my job so I can stay home and be a housekeeper.”
Vanessa's brows furrowed. “He did?”
You sighed. “It's… more complicated than that, but… that's how it feels.”
A beat passed in silence.
“I know he's doing it because of Garrett,” you murmured. 
“Doing what?” Vanessa asked carefully.
“This. All of this…” You sighed. “Not letting Abby hang out with her new friend, convincing me to stay home and take care of her...”
She watched you intently, waiting for you to continue.
“I can't go out at night, he's constantly barging into our rooms, I can't date anyone,” you sighed, and she seemed to understand, her expression softening.
Slowly, Vanessa reached out to you, putting her hand on your shoulder.
"I understand that Mike can be overprotective at times, I can't deny that,” she said softly. "I know it must suck not being able to go anywhere or do anything without him always checking on you..." she sighs, looking you in the eyes empathetically. "But we both know he just wants to protect you, even if he’s doing it in the wrong way. He loves you dearly.”
You avoid her gaze, your eyes focusing on the grass underneath you.
“It's worse with me.”
“Why do you say that?”
You smile bitterly. “Because apparently, I’m the only one who looks just like Garrett.”
Silence.
“I–” She began but cut herself off.
“I just wish,” you continued, “he could just try to move on. At least now he's aware it wasn't his fault, but,” you took a deep breath. “I feel like he's still stuck trying to be a protector instead of just being our brother.”
Vanessa stayed silent, and you were grateful for that. You didn’t feel like hearing fake reassurances while talking about Garrett or his disappearance.
“Every time we try to talk about it, it just turns into an argument,” you whispered
“And why's that?” Vanessa squeezed your shoulder. You felt your heart flutter at the gesture.
“I guess… because we're both too stubborn to hear each other out,” you chuckled tiredly, running your hands through your hair. 
Vanessa opened her mouth, but you interrupted her.
“I fucked up today,” you turned to face her. “I kind of… blamed him for Garrett's disappearance.” 
Vanessa seemed shocked by this. Then she sucked in her breath between her teeth.
“That's–”
Your expression turned bitter as you felt your face flush in shame. 
“I know, you don't have to tell me.”
You hid your face in your hands. “He seemed so distraught, so hurt, I can't… I can't stop thinking about it.”
You felt your nails dig into your scalp. “I can’t stop thinking about the pain in his eyes, I can’t unsee the way he just… shrank.” 
Carefully, Vanessa rested her hand on your back, and when you didn't protest, she started rubbing small, comforting circles.
You feel a knot form in your throat.
“I…” you swallowed. “I remember it. The day he disappeared.”
A pause.
“I remember it so vividly,” you huffed a self-deprecating laugh. “I sprayed almost the whole bottle of ketchup on my sweater. Mom guided me to the tent so I could change,” a shaky breath slipped from your lips, and you felt her stomach churn.
The dread, the fear you felt that day would never leave your system.
“Next thing we knew, Mike was running and yelling, desperate. You closed your eyes, the memories flooding your mind.
“Mom, Dad! Help, they took him! They took Garrett!”
You stayed with your eyes closed for a few seconds, as Vanessa kept rubbing your back reassuringly.
“Did you know I had a brother?” She began.
“Really?” You asked with surprise in your voice.
“Mhm,” you could hear her smile in her voice, “we used to be really close. He was always looking out for me.”
“What happened to him?”
Her hand stopped. You tensed up.
“He… disappeared. Many years ago. Just like Garrett.”
You pulled slightly at your hair. “I'm sorry, I shouldn't have…”
“It's okay,” she said in a solemn voice, but with a small, resigned smile on her face.
“Why are you telling me this?” You finally faced her again.
“Because you can never take your family for granted. You shouldn’t say hurtful things to each other, and if it happens, you should let it cool off and then talk about it, not run away.”
Oh, now she was scolding you.
“I didn't–” you cringed. “Mike asked me to–”
She giggled. Giggled.
“I'm not saying it only because of you. Mike needs to understand that you're an adult now, that he won't always be able to protect you.”
Your eyes lit up. “Will you help me, then? Will you talk to him?”
Vanessa shook her head. “No, Y/N. You two need to sit down, talk, and finally start listening to each other.” She gave you a small smile.
You sighed, nodding. 
“Come on,” she said, standing up, shaking the dirt off her jeans, “I'll take you home.”
She extended her hand, and you took it without thinking twice.
Tumblr media
Vanessa parked her car in front of your house, sighing softly before turning off the engine.
She looked at you, and after a few seconds, you met her gaze.
“You know,” she smiled, “I’m pretty sure you two can actually come to an agreement.”
You huffed, “That’s easier said than done.”
You pushed the car door open.
“Wait,” she said, holding onto the back of your jacket. You stayed still.
“I mean it, Y/N,” she gave you a soft look. 
“Just talk to him. No yelling, not arguing,” you resisted the urge to roll your eyes, “talk. Really talk…”
You stared at each other momentarily before she let go of your jacket.
“Hear him and… make him hear you,” Vanessa added, a whisper more than anything.
You nodded, climbing out of the car, and closing the door.
She lowered the window. “Good luck, I guess,” she smiled.
You felt your heart speed up. Was this really the end of it? Would she only speak to you when Mike asked her to? So she was just being nice, right?
You swallowed. “Yeah… Well.”
You felt heat rising up your neck, reaching your cheeks. Shame.
“Thanks for the ride, by the way,” you scratched the back of your neck, trying to get rid of the sensation.
“No problem.”
You nodded, and just as you were about to push the front door open, Vanessa called your name and you practically rushed to the car window. “Yes?”
Vanessa let out a breathy laugh and you almost melted on the spot. She opened the glove compartment and took out a notebook and a pen.
She started to write something down. 
“In case you and Mike keep having trouble…” She trailed off as she handed you the paper, which had a phone number written on it. 
You raised your gaze to meet hers. “If it doesn’t work out, you can call me and I can give you some advice,” she grinned at you. 
“And if it does?”
"Maybe we can go for a coffee, then?"
“I don’t like coffee,” you blurted out, feeling your cheeks warm up.
Vanessa's smile grew wider at your reaction and she chuckled softly. "Well, how about tea then? Or maybe we could just go for a walk instead?"
Her tone was playful and her smile was contagious, making it impossible for you to stay embarrassed for long.
You stayed silent, not sure how to respond. All you knew was that it was supposed to be cold outside at this time of the year, but you were sweating.
Vanessa shook her head, still smiling, and her playful tone turned into a sincere one. “We don’t have to if you don’t want–”
“I want to,” you interrupted her. “I do.”
She seemed to perk up. 
“I’ll call,” you said, without a doubt. “I promise.”
Vanessa gave you a soft smile before turning the car on, and slowly drive out of sight.
You sighed, turning to push the door open, and to your surprise, Mike was standing in the doorway with his arms crossed, and Abby peeking at you from behind him, smiling.
He met your gaze, and against all odds, he smiled at you. “I guess we need to talk.”
You smiled at him. “Yeah,” you looked down at the small piece of paper in your hands and swallowed. “Yeah. We do.”
Mike sighed, gesturing for you to come inside.
“So you heard all of that?” You said in a weary voice, and Abby giggled.
Mike shook his head. “Maybe we should eat first, I’m about to pass out.”
Right, you still hadn’t had dinner. Your stomach grumbled.
As you followed your brother into the dining room, you had the sensation that maybe, just maybe, things would be alright.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
a/n: idk how to use tumblr so my fault the layout is ass, i’ll improve lemme cook 😭🙏🏽. ts work is a repost, so its crappy. lmk if yu want smut cus i’ll write it.
summary: you’ve been promoted & you come across abby.
warnings: sfw, js shit talking.
pt. 1, pt. 2
Beep beep.
You groan, not ready to get up. Your hands fumble for the alarm clock, pressing every button your fingertips graze.
Beep beep!
How the hell is it still sounding? You ask yourself, finally lifting your head from the pillow to check the time.
6:43 am.
Shit.
You're usually awake and ready by this time, but yesterday you were out partying with your friends. Your recent promotion within the W.L.F. had warranted a night of revelry, but now the consequences were clear: a foggy mind and a rush to start the day. You had gained new perks from Isaac himself. Your friends thought this was deserving of a celebration, so they invited everyone from the W.L.F. You didn’t hate partying, but you preferred just hanging out with your friends. Among others, you were considered friendly, which was the truth— but you did like some time alone as patrols really tired you out.
Today was about clearing your clouded mind from worries, just living in the moment! Last night was one of the best nights you had in a while; you got to meet great people. You met a man named Manny; he was playful and divertido, a trait you admired. He was happy to introduce you to his other friends as they were going to be your new partners for patrols. A couple, Owen and Mel, came forward to greet you. “Your hair is so healthy and silky! I’d do anything for long hair like yours!” Mel smiled, and you grinned, thanking her.
You’ve always prioritized your looks and emphasized the importance of being well-groomed. You loved makeup, pink, and putting bows in your long hair. It was what made you, you. You found comfort within femininity throughout the apocalypse and the battle against scars. Your thoughts were interrupted when you heard something approaching Manny, Owen, Mel, and you. As soon as you looked up to see who it was, you couldn’t help but stare. Her hair was braided, wearing a tank top so you could see the density of her muscles. She had a calm demeanor, and you crossed your arms in a playful way. “Have I seen you before?” She smiled with her teeth, and you swear you could’ve folded right then and there. “No, you haven’t,” you felt your cheeks burn, giggling at the thought of her actually wanting to get to know you.
“Abby,” said the blonde woman. Abby. The name seemed to suit her. “Father’s joy,” you mumbled. “What?” Abby asked, genuinely curious. “That’s what Abby means,” you smiled warmly at her, waiting for a response. Abby chuckled; she raised her arm to rub your back. “What’s your name then?”
Before you could respond, Mel snapped, saying your name to Abby. You were confused by the abruptness of her answer. As you turned to look at Mel, she looked angry. Not at you. At Abby. Abby smiled softly and looked over at you, a look that you could forever hold in your heart. “I’ll see you around,” and with that, she walked away, heading towards another group with Manny, way more welcoming than Mel. At the corner of your eye, you saw the way Owen looked at Abby. He looked at her as if he had regrets, as if he lost something they had. You decided to shake it off, as it may only be your imagination. “What’s wrong, Mel?” you asked her, with genuine concern about why she's cold. She smiled at you softly and told you “Oh, it’s nothing. I just wanted to look out for a new friend. Abby is not someone you want to be hanging out with.” You hummed to yourself. You usually don’t believe what you hear, only what you see.
“She’s a shitty person.”
“She’s selfish.”
“She’s a liar.”
Despite Mel’s warnings, you still wanted to get to know Abby. Your desire to learn more about her grew. She sparked your curiosity, and the yearning blossomed.
After the night was over, you took your heels off and collapsed in your bed. You were excited about what new patrols you can take on tomorrow and who was going to be your partner. You ended up falling asleep, staring at the ceiling while Abby lingered in the back of your mind.
Now you were brushing your teeth, putting on a Lulu Define jacket, and tight flared black yoga pants. You put your hair in a slickback, put your sneakers on, and walked out the door. This was your first patrol after being promoted by Isaac. As you walked into the gym, you walked to the treadmills as your usual routine is cardio. Then you feel a hand placed on your shoulder; you turned your head back and it’s Abby. She smiles at you, and you smile back, blush tainting your cheeks. Abby parts her lips. “This outfit looks cute on you.”
“Thank you, Abby.” What Abby doesn’t know is that her compliment will be forever in your mind. Only within minutes talking to her - and only meeting her yesterday - she already makes you all giddy like a teenage girl in love. “Care to get some breakfast with me after you’re done with your cardio?” she asks, and you nod eagerly. “Of course, I will. Who would ever pass up that offer?” you giggle. Abby smirks at not just your reply, but at your giggle. She found you cute and amusing, but she was afraid Mel already said something to you. She didn’t want to mess up this chance— she couldn’t lose you when she never even had you. She’ll be careful and gentle even if it would take longer. Time will pass.
After 30 minutes, you considered yourself done for the day, as it was just a warm-up for the patrol later in the evening. You saw Abby sitting on the bench, wiping her sweat off the weights— she was thoughtful of others, and you kept that in mind. How could she ever be selfish? You walk up to her and tell her “Do you wanna go now?” Abby grins and says “I’d love to.”
Today’s menu was breakfast grilled cheese with Greek yogurt parfait- not bad! Since Abby has some perks, both of you got your meal pretty quickly and some good seats! “Have you seen the new patrol rotation?” Abby asks, and you shake your head “No actually, I was planning to check after the gym” you reply. “Maybe we can check together then. After this meal of course” she chuckles. Her smile is so cute, and you’d cross the whole world just to see it again. “You know, you’re not what I expected you to be.” Abby looks up at you, brows furrowed in confusion. “Mel said something didn’t she?” You sigh but nod, “I just think it’s funny how you’re the exact opposite of what she claimed for you to be. She’s sweet, but she was wrong about you. Don’t tell her but I think I’m starting to prefer you” you giggle, putting your fingers onto Abby’s lips as if to shush her. Abby was quiet alright, but not for the reason you’d think it would be. She’s thinking of your fingers gently touching her lips, leaning in for a kiss. Her thoughts are interrupted when you speak, “Do you wanna go check the board for patrols now?”
“Let’s go.” Abby stands up, pushes her chair back into the table and takes your hand— never roughly, as she’d never want to break you— fragility as a porcelain vase. Her calloused fingertips and palms, now holding your forearm, something that you’ll think about to help you sleep.
As you’re approaching the board, there’s a whole crowd of people, surrounding it. While some are content with their role and duo, others are muttering under their breath “fuck.” You can’t help but keep your fingers crossed that you’ll get Abby. As you and Abby kept shoving your way through, yelling “ ‘xcuse me!” you finally make your way to the front, and both of you immediately scan for your name. Then, you see it.
You and Abby. She seems to notice too, because she’s whispering “looks like you’re stuck with me for a little longer.” You giggle, lightly elbowing her playfully.
In reality, you'd prefer to be with her more than anyone else.

A feast for the Bubblegum Prince.
Tumblr media
Alphonse woke up, tied to a chair hus breathing became erratic as he looked at the table he was sat at. It had so many foods and candy he loved, it almost seemed like...Boo's? A door was kicked open as Seth walked through with his dad tied on a chair.
"Oh! Your awake, good!" A crazed smile was paired with the greeting Alphonse got. Seeing those sad brown eyes again was messing with him. It didn't help they looked manically as well.
"S...Seth what's going on?" Testing the waters gently to see where Seth was mentally was the best choice Alphonse had right now. Seth's dad was knocked out head slumped on one side while having cuts all over him. Seemed like Seth finally got his revenge from all those beatings as a kid.
"Oh! Just a go away party! I was able to have your new friend cook for us!" Showing off the food Seth grabbed a taffy and ripped it open. Slowly coming to Alphonse he gently held his chin and held it up for him to eat. Not wanting to anger him Alphonse opened his mouth, now chewing in the taffy he thanked Seth.
"That was um really good! But Seth? Where...Where's..." Alphonse cut himself off when seeing a big silver platter on the table. Sucking in a breath he looked at Seth his eyes wide with tears. No...no his soft boy would never do that to someone-
"Oh! Me and Jolene made a special snack for you!" Slowly going to the platter Seth held the top to it. Blood rushed in Alphonse's head thinking of what was there, then the top was ripped off the platter.
"SETH NO PLEASE!" Sobbing out Alphonse leaned forward to not look at the platter. He didn't want to see Boo's head there, but he heard a crazy laughter from Seth. Brazen himself to look Alphonse finally did but only saw....hair? Wait that-
"It's Jolene's! Sadly I'm not that good of a barber but their tied up at the moment!" The last bit made Alphonse remember that day Seth tried to teach him how to tie a knot. The pinkette started to cry ugly at the thought that his partner might be dead or trapped somewhere where you can save them.
Seth placed the top down and walked to Alphonse cooing at him as he tried to touch him. A flinch was his response as Alphonse tried to control his breathing. Seth pulled him in closely whispering words to comfort him but nothing work. The bubblegum prince was crying for his partner he lost and he doesn't even know if they were alive.
"Come on! This feast is fit for you. Enjoy it okay? My Bubblegum Prince." Love or obsession was filled in those words. Alphonse didn't care anymore, his emotions were everywhere and his Boo was no where to be found. He never was religious but he started praying to whatever God would help and save them.

for like 3 weeks i was wondering why i was sleeping so much and felt listless. and just now I managed to email 3 people and responded to a month old message in the span of an hour because I got back to TAKING MY FUCKIN MEDS..........
#MOTHER FFFFUCKER#to be fair. my doc said I could stop taking them while im on break since i wouldnt need to be constantly pumped on stimulants#im not sure if it was a side effect but i managed to take like 3 different naps in one day and STILL managed to sleep thru the whole night#at least 2 days into my break. the weird thing is i didnt feel more or less rested afterwards. but mentally i think im in a good place rn#to really put the level of awakeness im at rn i feel weirdly confident i could start one piece. also bc of that sick new opening it BANGS#the song is really good and im in love with the animation style. did some digging and it seems one of the lead animators is masato mori#but i could be wrong. it seems he also did some work on mp100 which could explain a lot lol.. he uses smear frames really well to convey#consistent movement and fluidity!!! someone else might have done color design but it works really really well esp with odas style!!#just love the overall vibe and aesthetic and id really love to study it and incorporate a bit of it into my art.. especially the thick#outlines which i think helps to separate characters and objects on screen. though i have to say the style is definitely more suited to#animation bc of the simpleness and smears. maybe that will help me explore shapes and perspective when i draw... i wanna get better#at drawing poses and angles but i have a hard time wrapping my head around space and using perspective guide lines NGHHHH#i wonder if it has to do with my dogshit ability to judge distance. not depth perception but like. judge how far smth is in metres etc#im also wearing an N95 for the first couple weeks back bc of the wave. absolutely NO BODY is wearing a mask its so fucking over#where im sitting ive heard 5 different people coughing probably not into their elbows!!! and im just. head in my fucking hands#there was a kid sitting a couple seats away in class coughing as he pleases and i wanted to grab him in a chokehold so badly. PLEASEE#ive been annoying my family by asking them to mask up and reminding them to bring masks when they go out and showing them news articles#but at least its working bc we ordered some KN95s and my mom is at least taking me seriously so. please dont be afraid to speak up abt your#health. take care of yourself and others however u can!! wear that mask indoors at your maskless friends house!!! stay home when u can!!#im wearing a surgical mask at home too bc my parents have '''a dry throat cough''' and they are so bad at coughing into their sleeves#also im pretty sure dry throat isnt transmissible bc my brother started coughing too so.. i also tested negative but they havent tested yet#im also not a doctor but i have to keep reminding ppl whenever i can that covid and flu work differently. covid is new and too recent to#have nearly as much research done on it. it seems its also compounding so instead of building immunity it weakens the body and spreads to#to other systems which might explain brain fog and muscle weakness. i remember someone early in the pandemic got infected and it messed up#their smell/taste receptors so bad that they cant eat most foods and that stays in the front of my mind when i think abt covid. christ#yapping

#purrs#what if i was experiencing ordeals so mortifying and horrors so horrible i could not talk about them to anyone in full honesty and truth and#transparency not even the dearest people in my life who love me and actively want to support me and listen to me or my tumblr mutuals who#are literally my bestest friends who live in my phone and in some cases outside of it so instead i locked myself in my rapunzel tower and pr#proceeded to cut off my hair and then cut off my dress and then cut off my brain so it could stop perceiving stimuli and reacting to it#despite wanting to get better and thinking it’s getting better and i couldn’t even tell my therapist because he doesn’t get me but it takes#too long to find a new one and i don’t have time and also my tower was getting renovated and also i was a little bug who was getting.#crushed by giant rain drops falling on my shell and bending my antennae so im dizzy and also it’s as almost midnight and i had to be up at a#work awake in 6 hours and ready to fscilitwtbeblike 3 things but i was screaming and howling and pounding on the floor over the dumbest most#normal sjit in the entire world that i couldn’t tell anybody i was struggling over because it would make everybody in the world blow up and#die and explode. what if i had to communicate the horrors through memes and vague posts every single day and that was all that was truly at#my disposal and everyone thougut i was being weird and standoffish and mean but really i was pulsing hurt like a strobe light every second o#of every day. becaus ei think if all of that was true i would simply go to sleep without doing the dishes and redacted redacted redacted red#redacted. and i wish i could. but i can’t. I’m just a little beetle and the rain drops are so huge. lol#delete later#puslng INCOMMUNICABLE hurt *. like morse code. like fire flies. Because literally… 💡💡💡💡💡#<- girl who has had separation anxiety since the day she was born. but also girl who never texts anyone back. girl who is a hypocrite 🥰

Feeling terrible as usual
#it’s 4am I haven’t gone to bed yet I’ve just wasted another night doing absolutely nothing#I have a job interview at 9am tomorrow#possibly#I don’t actually know if I do! the lady didn’t confirm and I wasn’t sent a link but it was suggested#I don’t even want this stupid job#I don’t even want a JOB I don’t want a job I don’t want to fucking. enter spreadsheets for 9 hours a day every day of the week for the next#two years!!!!!!!!!! I don’t WANT that!!!!!!!#I want to write !!!!! I want to create I want to work on my own projects I want to spend time with my friends I want to take classes !!!!!!!#but now I’m a stupid adult or whatever I need a fucking job because I need fucking money because I need to be able to pay rent#I hate it!!!!!! I hate this !!!!!!!!!!! I hate being TRAPPED in this stupid fucking world !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#and I don’t even know if I have this stupid job interview at 9am but I should wake up at 8 anyways just in case AND I have to spend the day#trekking into deeper Brooklyn to feed some cats and a gecko and that will take hours#and I have to start packing bc I move like next week which I can’t even think about without feeling nauseous#and I don’t even know where to start w that#and i wanted to actually get writing done to enter a stupid thing. but the deadline for that is way too soon and I don’t have time to write#on top of moving and job stuff. I don’t have time to do the one thing I want to do full time because I can’t fucking afford it.#and also I want to do art really bad but again. my stupid iPad is broken so I literally can’t.#so I’ve just been awake for NO REASON and it’s 4am!!!!!!!! and I have NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT!!!!!!! and I have to wake up in 4 hours!!!!!!!!#and I’m wasting the few days I have left here doing NOTHING THAT I WANT TO BE DOING#not that there’s even anything I WANt to do because EVERYTHING is fucking horrible and everything I do no matter what it is#it’s a fucking waste of time.#I am wasting time my life is a fucking waste of time#also I should PROBABLY talk to someone abt how I’ve been experiencing. more weird psychosis type bullshit recently !!!!!!#but ‘someone’ would be a doctor and I don’t HAVE one of those despite the fact that I’ve been TRYING TO GET ONE FOR FOUR MONTHS#they’re just all busy!!! and either aren’t taking new clients or don’t take insurance !!!!!!!!!!! sooooooooooooooooo#but it doesn’t even matter because even if I were medicated even if I were on anti depressants even if I werent experiencing weird delusions#it STILL wouldn’t be fine. I’d still have to waste my life doing a job I don’t want to be doing to afford to live in an apartment. I’d still#be trapped in a fucking capitalist hellscape. the world would still be ending. nothing would be fine. no matter what I do life is still bad.#like that’s what’s so depressing is the issue isn’t my brain it’s not me it’s the WORLD and that’s something that can’t be cured that means#I’ll feel like this forever and nothing can change that no amount of meds no nothing will change the fact that life is fucking terrible
