Whumptober #9- The very noisy night

The bright, digital red clock marked 2:30 am. The dapper jolts awake when a lightning strikes and is followed by thunderous thunder. His heart raced a million miles, especially when his eyes weren’t completely adjusted to the dark. He breathes in and out to calm himself, and soon feels on the other side of the bed. To his surprise it laid empty, he would’ve expected for someone to be there sleeping next to him. He sighs quietly before turning to the edge of the bed, letting his legs dangle towards the floor.

The wooden floor was cold, as soon as it made contact with his feet it sent a chill through his whole body. If it weren’t for the thunderstorm, the hallway wouldn’t look as terrifying as it did just now, but the fact that the kitchen light was on brought relief to Jameson. As he suspected, Henrik sat at the kitchen island, a mug of recently brewed coffee in hands and next to him a stack of papers, and his phone. His long, brown hair was completely down, tho a bit messy and fluffed up. Though, before Jameson could come any closer, he made sure to knock on the wall to make himself present, he didn’t want to startle the doctor after all. Well, startle him the least he could. Jameson couldn’t really help walking around so quietly, even if he wanted to.

Still with the light knock, Henrik jumps on his chair, icy blues searching his surroundings but soon land on Jameson, and relief is evident on his face.

“Jamie, my sweet.” He spoke in a hushed tone, maybe because it was the middle of the night, or maybe to hide the ever growing worry in his voice. “Did the thunder wake you?”

Jameson nods while he walks towards where Henrik was, “{Are you okay, dear? Why didn’t you wake me?}”

“You looked so peaceful, I could not simply disturb you.” Henrik chuckled tiredly, though a sigh escapes his lips when Jameson takes a seat next to him and lays his head on top of his shoulder. “I was doing the tossing and turning, I feared if I stayed in bed any longer I would have awaken you myself.”

“{Is there something troubling you?}” Jameson signed in concern, though he holds on to Henrik’s arm and hides his face when another thunder shakes the house. Henrik can only smile warmly before wrapping both his arms around his beloved.

“I am sure it is nothing.” Though as soon as he said that icy blue eyes flickered to his phone, disappointment quickly filling his eyes when no notifications made his phone light up. And Jameson didn’t miss that.

“{You’re worried about Jackie.}” Jameson stated before placing his hand on top of the doctor’s in a comforting manner. There’s silence between them that one could hear the pitter patter of the rain hitting the windows clearly as day.

“It is too obvious, huh?” Henrik remarks with a quick smile, but soon that smile soon turns into a frown with concern. “He is reckless, all the time. Especially when it comes to flying. I sent him the text, writing him that he should spend the night here but he has not answered back.”

Jameson bites his lip, he knew Henrik was right about Jackie and now it made more sense why he was up rather than sleeping and getting ready for his next shift. He then gets an idea, and he quickly taps Henrik’s hand. Once Jameson gets the doctor’s attention, he starts signing. “{How about we take sleeping shifts? After all, you still have work in a few hours. I will keep an eye in case he comes in and needs help. Would that ease your worries, my dear?}”

There is a pause while Henrik thinks, he knew Jameson was right and he definitely needed the sleep hours. Especially if the storm got worse, there was no doubt he would be called in earlier if needed. He sighs in sort of defeat, but he did place a gentle kiss on Jameson’s forehead. “You are too kind, my love. Alright, alright. Only for a few hours. If my phone rings, you wake me up, yes?”

Jameson nodded with affirmation before gesturing the doctor to come and lay down on the couch with him. Of course, Henrik ended up falling asleep within minutes of laying his head on his lap, not that Jameson minded. At least he would have some sort of company while patrolling for the hero’s arrival. They can only hope he is staying safe out there.

Stages: Short Memories

Stages: Casual Friends Pt.1: Short Memories (Chapter 6)

Pairing: ShadAmy (Friends to lovers, SLOW BURN)

2K500

Previous: https://another-sonic-blog.tumblr.com/post/190409928125/stages-the-deal

Shadow couldn't get a wink of sleep. It's been at least a month since he last saw Amy.

Not like he cares too much now since he knew that he won't be seeing Amy for some time.

"Would you like to go away with me? You know, go into different adventures together?"

"I'll think about it."

Shadow remembers their conversation clearly. Right after they got back home from their mission he was going to The Resistance to go and try to apologize to Amy and stumbled upon their conversation.

That was enough for him. He knew Amy would eventually say yes and leave this city with her beloved.

So, why did he still have a small hope that she will stay?

The mission turned out to be fine. The village was attacked again by mercenaries just as Amy predicted but it wasn't anything they couldn't handle.

Tails make it out alright. The cure made out from the flowers Amy picked up made effect the next day. When he woke up, he admitted that he didn't remember anything. Just like Sonic, he remembers walking through the forest and the next thing he knows, he woke up in a room where Team Dark and Sonic were with him.

They tried to investigate but no one came up with any logical conclusions. What happened to them, would be a mystery that maybe solve later.

Shadow stood up from his bed, maybe taking a midnight ride with DR will clear his mind.

DR was the name he put to the bike Amy gave him. Dark Rose, because ... Why not?

Of course, he wasn't going to tell anyone the meaning behind the name.

He rode his bike for miles, just enjoying the view of the city. Cars passed as he kept riding and he found himself in a stop sign. It seemed like it took forever for the red light to change to green. He sighed as he heard thunder and felt rain touch his nose.

In a second, he was completely wet from head to toes.

He sighed, the light finally turned green.

And he kept ongoing.

"Shadow? This is Rouge."

Shadow was driving back to his apartment already, driving with heavy rain was very unsafe, even for a professional motorcycle rider like him.

"Shadow here." He said as he talked through his wrist communicator to Rouge.

"Are you driving? It's horrible outside." Rouge said.

"I am going back to my apartment,"

"Oh, nevermind then."

"What is the problem?" Shadow said as he finally spotted his apartment building.

"I wanted to see if you could check up on Amy? She gets out of work late and she usually doesn't have an umbrella. I would it myself but I can't fly in the rain." Rouge added, "It's alright tho, I am sure she will be fine. I'll check on her tomorrow."

Shadow didn't even think for a second, he turned around, and headed to Amy's workplace.

He knew it was a bad idea to drive one of his favorite motorcycles during a thunderstorm. He crashed on a light pole as he made a turn, the tires were already old and there wasn't enough friction.

He probably broke his right arm, it hurt him greatly but at least he was close to Amy's workplace already.

Right now, Shadow was on the hard concrete, his back against the cold path. Letting himself getting poured by the rain.

This moment felt slightly familiar. A far memory that he wanted to forget.

A painful one indeed.

"Hey, Shadow~"

Shadow turned around to look at the girl calling his name.

"Would you lend me your bike?", she asked.

"BB? Yeah, just be careful." Shadow added, "It looks like it might rain ... Here, take my G.U.N. jacket."

"You are giving me your jacket?"

"No, I am just lending it to you," Shadow said, smirking.

"Yeah, right." The girl teased him and winked at him clearly flirting. "I'll see you tonight."

Shadow watched the girl he was secretly crushing on leave the office. He had to admit, that his jacket looked better on her and even better when his name was at the back of his jacket.

"My detector says: Shadow's hormones are rising," Omega said from the other side of the office.

"I am still not used to see you smile," Rouge added, "But it goes well with you."

"I am not smiling," Shadow replied.

"Yes, you are."

Alright, Shadow had to admit it. He did have a small smile on his face.

Shadow began to worry when his teammate wasn't arriving at his apartment. She texted him that she was on her way but it was already 45 minutes and she hasn't arrived yet.

It began to rain really hard, a storm was coming and Shadow decided to take one of his bikes and look for his girl.

Well, not his girl... yet.

Shadow drove around the places where she might be. He wasn't wearing any protection since he wasn't a fan of it. He could only think of her as she wouldn't answer his calls either.

He was so worried that he promised himself that he will tell her how he feels about her if he finds her.

He looked around for two hours until he found her.

While still riding his bike, Shadow saw the girl he liked kissing someone else, under an umbrella they both shared. Then they both got on top of BB and began to ride away.

Him riding the motorcycle, and her, behind, placing her arms around him.

And then, Shadow crashed. He got distracted and didn't notice he was heading straight into a light pole.

A few broken bones, and deep wounds, Shadow pulled out his phone and called the girl once again.

The call was denied but he received a text message that read:

'Sorry, I am at the office doing paperwork. I'll see you tomorrow, love you.'

Shadow let go of his phone and let the rain pour all of its force on him. He took a big sigh, his body hurt.

But his heart the must.

Was this what it felt like to be heartbroken?

Was this what happened when you let people get close to you?

Shadow didn't want this, he didn't want any of this. Not now not ever. He made a terrible choice by letting himself get idiotic ideas. For thinking, he was worthy of having something as trivial as love.

He felt like he was going to faint, he was losing to much blood but at the moment he didn't care. He will be fine in the morning. Right now, he only wanted to close his eyes and let his feelings go.

"Shadow?"

He heard a soft voice fade softly.

The rain was no more as a figure approached him, holding an umbrella above him. Beautiful green eyes looked at his ruby ones as he began to close his eyes slowly.

"Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I am here for you."

Shadow's memory was fuzzy and doesn't remember what happened afterward. He remembers waking up the next day in the hospital with Rouge and Omega next to him. He just concluded that it must be them the ones who brought him to the hospital.

But too much of that already, he needed to get to Amy now.

He finally arrived, it was a few streets from where he had crashed.

He looked through the glass window and noticed that Amy wasn't alone at all.

Sonic and Amy were peacefully drinking a cup of coffee, they were alone as the restaurant was already closed.

Shadow hid under the window as he tried to listen to the couple with his good hearing abilities, being the ultimate life forms came with its perks.

"So ... What... Do ...You ...Say... A lifetime... full of adventures?" said Sonic, "Come ... With...Me?"

Shadow tried his best to hear, but the rain was so horrible that it almost made it impossible.

He waited for Amy to answer. It all depended on her.

"I... Know...Yes," said Amy.

That's all it took.

Nobody needed him, and that included Amy.

Shadow stood up and moved quickly from the sight of the pink and blue one.

Sad, disappointed and with a broken arm. Shadow walked away, in pain. It only didn't pain him in his arm, but in his heart as well.

Shadow felt better after he got back home. His broken arm was still healing but since he was the ultimate life form, he knew that the broken arm will be good to go by tomorrow. Some of the scars he got from crashing were still healing as well, overall he was looking better.

He sat down in front of his chimney, he closed his eyes as he wanted to forget all about Amy and concentrate on healing.

But destiny had other things in mind,

He heard intense knocking coming from the outside, he heavily sighed as he stood up and walked towards the door.

"WHO THE HELL IS KNOCKING-" Shadow said as he opened the door but his waves of anger went away immediately. "Amy? What are you doing here?"

"What do you think?! I saw the motorcycle I gave you crashed a few streets away from the restaurant!" Amy added, "I came to check if you were alright!"

Shadow looked at Amy up and down. She was drench, water dripping from her clothes, dirty, and out of breath.

"And Sonic?" He asked.

"I am asking about you! Are you good? What happened?"

Shadow was conflicted. He imaged Amy, running all the way from the restaurant to his apartment ... Just to find out if he was alright.

"Why?" Shadow said as he looked at the ground, not wanting to make eye contact with her.

"Uh?"

"Why do you worry about me? After I treated you so badly?"

"What do you mean?" Amy asked.

"I treated you so bad! I said horrible things to you and you still worry about me?"

Finally, Amy was able to catch her breath and was surprised to see Shadow in such manner.

" I know you are the type that pushes people away because you are afraid to lose them ... or you are afraid that they will leave you," Amy added.

"You promised I was never going to see you again ... and here you are."

"And I will stay away... until you really want me in your life."

Shadow's hands trembled. He was saying things he never thought he will say again.

"Whenever I get too close to someone ... I hurt them ... Or they leave me." Shadow added, "You will leave me too. You are going away with Sonic, won't you?"

"Of course not! Yes, Sonic asked me to go away with him but, I decided to stay."

"Why? Don't you love him?"

"Yes, I do. But I still have things to do here." Amy added, "And I wouldn't be able to leave, because I would miss my friends too much."

Amy looked at Shadow, letting her feelings be known to the black hedgehog. She held his strong arms in her delicate ones as she took a moment to appreciate his red eyes soften at the gesture.

"How can you forgive me so easily?"

"That's what friends do."

A/N: We entering a new arc, (Casual Friends Arc) full of discoveries. As you may all notice, the identity of Shadow's previous love interest is still a mystery but more things will be revealed as the story progresses.

A would like to add a few clarifications:

-Shadow is not a jerk, he just had a horrible and traumatizing experience and due to it, he is just not the best at communicating with people. In the firsts chapters, we can see that he is actually nice when he meets people but as soon as he starts to get attached, he pushes them away. The reason why would be explained later on.

-Amy understands that Shadow has been through a lot and he is just a hard guy to deal with. Besides, Rouge and Omega, Amy has been the only one who has taken the time to try and understand him. I feel like it's on Amy's character to try and help everyone in every possible way she can and the way she helps Shadow is by giving him her friendship and unconditional support.

-Now, Shadow is not the only one with problems. We also have Amy who even though she has friends that are willing to help her wholeheartedly, she denies their help. Amy is obsessed with success and doesn't want anyone to help her get there. She likes to do things her way and lacks self-confidence sometimes. She puts others before herself and she can't say no to anyone.

Do you see what I am trying to get here? Their characteristics can make up for some really good dynamic stories and I am really excited to write and explore it.

Their dynamic can lead to something bigger: Self-growth.

They will help each other become the best person they can and with this, their relationship will develop.

This is a ShadAmy story, but just like in all my other stories, I will take time to develop their relationship. So, don't expect any romance too soon, that will probably happen around chapter 12/13 of the story.

I have nothing else to say as of right now. I hope everyone who is reading this is enjoying it. Thank you for reading! Until the next chapter!

Thanks!

Arthur Morgan x Reader: Fakeout Makeout

Ask: idk if ur requests are open or closed (?) but ..... fakeout makeout trope with arth u r .... bl ease (also don’t feel pressured to write this tho!!! have a good day💓)

Warning: Cursing.

Pairing: Arthur Morgan x Reader

A/N: I hope this is what you meant by fakeout makeout, I’ve never heard that term before but I’m familiar with the trope itself. When I researched further I saw that normally the two people kissing hate each other, so I’m assuming that’s what you want. If you didn’t want them to hate each other’s guts send me another ask and I might re-write it for you.

How did you find yourself here, in a wet dark alleyway in Saint Denis spying on a group of Cornwall’s hired guns? Why was it you who had to go? Ms. Grimshaw could have picked anyone else to go with Arthur but for some reason she chose you. Why did it have to be you? Didn’t she know you and Arthur despised each other?

It was his fault. You didn’t have a problem with him when you first met him, but then he started teasing you. The jests didn’t bother you at first but eventually, you started to think he was actually mocking you. What you used to think of as playful teasing started hurting your feelings and you took it to heart. One day Hosea was rounding people up for a hunting party, and when you offered Arthur laughed and made a remark about how you couldn’t shoot a deer if it was a foot in front of you. So you decided from there on out you wanted nothing to do with him.

Yet here you were, the two of you pressed against a cold brick wall listening to the men around the corner. They weren’t talking about anything particularly interesting, just small things about business that you knew already. You would have killed them if you weren’t in the middle of town. Plus, there were five of them. Not exactly a fair match.

It was hard standing so close to Arthur. You felt your entire left side tingling, but not in a good way. The urge to shove him away from you was strong. Why was he breathing like that? If he was any louder the whole town would hear. And why did he smell like cologne? It smelt awful. Or maybe it was your hatred for him that made it stink.

You sighed quietly and tried not to get too annoyed. The things that bothered you shouldn’t. In reality, there was nothing wrong with his cologne or the way he was breathing. When you dislike someone so much you get annoyed about the little things that normally wouldn’t notice at all.

Suddenly you heard a drunk man stumble into a group of barrels at the entrance to the alley, knocking them over and spilling water everywhere. He wobbled back onto his feet and left as quickly as he came.

“You hear that?”

The men were up on their feet faster than you could blink. There was no way you could get out of there fast enough without being suspicious. If you tried to walk away they would stop you, question you and recognize your faces. If you ran away they would surely run after you and undoubtedly catch you, there were five of them. Maybe the two of you could split up-

Arthur moved from your side so he was standing directly in front of you. “Play along.” He whispered, taking his hat off and letting it fall beside you. Then he did something unexpected. He put his right hand on your cheek and the other at your waist, pushing himself flush against you. Your back dug uncomfortably into the wall and you cried out in surprise, but his mouth covered yours before you could make too much noise.

By now a man had come to check, he walked around the corner shortly after your lips met. Now you realized why Arthur had kissed you. Maybe he wasn’t so brainless after all.

You decided to play along, kissing him back and even moaning loudly into it. Your hands ran through his hair and he picked you up, pushing you back against the wall with your legs wrapped around his waist. It was dark enough so your faces were well hidden, hopefully you just looked like a drunk couple fooling around.

Arthur took it a step farther and started taking his jacket off causing the man to chuckle.

“You two, get out of here.” He said firmly and crossed his arms, still laughing to himself. “The saloons across the street.”

“Sorry, sir.” Arthur slurred with a fake accent and parted from the kiss, making sure to keep his face lowered. “Got a little lost on… on the way… from the bar.” You grabbed Arthurs hat from the ground and put it on your head to hide your hair. You doubted they’d recognize that but you were taking no chances.

“Thanks, mister.” You slurred in the best drunk voice you could muster.

The man nodded and walked back to the other four. “Just two drunkards dry humping each other in the alley.”

You took the chance and ran out, not stopping until you reached your horses a little while down the street.

You wanted to insult him, call his plan stupid or slap him for kissing you without consent. But as much as you wanted to you also wanted to be mature about it and speak to him as little as possible. Though you had to admit, he was an amazing kisser. And he didn’t taste bad either, like you would have imagined. It was probably the peaches he had eaten on the ride over.

“Sorry about that, know you don’t like me but I couldn’t think of much else to do.”

You glanced over at Arthur riding alongside you. Was he seriously apologizing? “Well, it got the job done.” You sighed and looked back to the road ahead of you. ‘And I kind of liked it.’ What? No! Why did you think that?

“Sure did. Probably wouldn’t if you hadn’t played along the way you did, almost thought you liked it.” Was he reading your mind?

Your blood boiled when he chuckled. “In your dreams. I only did so because your acting was awful.” A lie, but whatever.

He chuckled again and shook his head. “Now, why do you despise me so much? You weren’t like that when you first came in. I’d go as far as sayin’ you were friendly. Not friendly friendly, don’t think I’m insinuating nothin’.”

You furrowed your brows and looked at him again. “Seriously? You mock me the whole time you know me and think I’m just going to be alright with that?”

“Mock you?” He sounded genuinely confused. “What are you talking about?”

“Please, don’t play dumb. You insult me all the time. Over little things.”

Arthur looked confused until he realized what you meant. “You think I’m mocking you? (Y/N), no, I swear… I just give you a hard time sometimes, I don’t truly mean the things I say, I’m just jokin’, that’s all.”

“You don’t joke like that with anyone else in camp.” You said and pulled your reigns back slightly as a rabbit decided to run across the path in front of you, kicking up dust with its little back paws.

He swallowed and tried to think of what to say. He couldn’t just out himself like that, there was no way you liked him back and it would just make things awkward after. You’d hate him even more, or at least that’s what he thought. “Well, you’re not anyone else.” After he said that he cursed himself mentally and looked over the field beside him, trying to act as if he meant nothing.

But you knew exactly what he meant. You’d be dumb not to. Although you were extremely confused and a little pissed off, it made sense. He was teasing you because he liked you. You’d do the same things when you liked someone. You did it with him at first until you started getting upset.

You had no idea what to say, so for a while, you said nothing. In those few minutes, Arthur was in hell, his mind a thunderstorm with dozens of thoughts. He wished he’d never said it. He took your silence as rejection.

The next thing you said changed his mind completely.

You looked at him with a smile and spoke in a playful tone. “Huh. Well, Arthur, it’s not the best way to let a lady know you like her, you did it a little too much. Guess that’s because you haven’t got much of a brain. If you even have one. Do you have one?”

Arthur smiled.

How to become punk

This is 4000+ words so it's a very long shot, and i made this a longgggg time ago but I hope you like it, at the bottom ill post his transformation!

"I don't understand it!" I sighed to myself angrily as I watched Patton blush.

What's so great about Virgil?! I mean I could be like that!

"Anyways Patton, I gotta go." Virgil says giving him a two fingered salute as he turned his back and walked away.

"Oh my goodness Logan did you see him?!" Patton exclaimed. "I can see it now, we're going to own four dogs, and our house it gonna be mag-" He starts as I interrupt him.

"I wouldn't look to far into the future Patton, your not even sure if you two at compatible ." I state feeling my heart break slightly.

"Plus he's no good for you, he's got a bad reputation in the school, and previous schools."

"Maybe that's why I like him..." Patton mutters to himself as he stares lovingly in the direction Virgil walked in.

Patton, the school most innocent kid, has fallen for the 2nd most bad boy in ringwell high.

And his best friend has to watch.

"His hair is soooo purple now, it's a great color on him!" Patton smiles growing red in the face.

"You know if you like him so much why don't you talk to him." I suggest putting on a fake smile.

"But I couldn't!" Patton starts.

"Yes you can, you've been swooning over him for the past two months." I say rolling my eyes.

"Will you come with me then? I need a wingman." He pleas

"If it will make you happy." I say knowing he doesn't know the double meaning to that statement.

"Awe thank you Lo!!" He says as I lead the way to Virgil.

"Hey teach, hey pat." Virgil states leaning back against the wall.

"Hey Virgil!" Patton smiles, as they quickly start to talk.

Soon I see a tall figure, covered with tattoos, hair in a Fo-hawk. Wearing a jean jacket with the arms ripped off combat boots and ripped jeans. Devan, the reason why Virgil is the 2nd biggest bad boy of the school.

"Hey Virgil." He says voice deep. "who's this?" He asks raising a brow at Patton, and I can see his heart skip a beat,

"I'm p-Patton." He states flustered

"And I'm Logan." I state as Devan nods his head.

"Well do you want to ditch next period. Virgil?" He asks as Virgil nods.

"Sure thing Dee."

"I'm going to get a new tattoo, I'm thinking snake scales right here." I says turning his head and pointing at his neck.

"That's sweet! I think imma get a thunderstorm, or something" Virgil states as he licks his snake bites on his lips.

"Well I'll see you two around." Devan says giving a wink to Patton and I can see his breathing quicken.

"Sure thing." He blushes as the other two walk away.

"He was sooooo hot! I would let him fu-"

"Don't finish that sentence" I sigh trying not to sound sad as I fix my glasses.

So Patton as a thing for bad boys huh, well I guess that is do able.

"He Logan, I'm gonna be gone next week, my cousin is getting married!" Patton smiles as my heart explodes.

"That's fine, I'll pick you up when your back." I state as he nods happily.

(Next week)

"Virgil I need your help." I state as he glances up at me.

"With????"

"I need to be more like you, Patton has a thing for bad boys and-" I start but get interrupted

"You have a thing for him, and trust me I can tell he likes bad boys." He laughs "but don't worry I got you covered." He states as relief washes over me.

"But under one condition." Virgil states as my stomach sinks. "You need to help me with Mr. popular over there He states pointing over at Roman Prince.

"Why that moron?" I think out loud as Virgil blushes.

"I don't know, maybe it's because he's a moron, but you get him to at least befriend me, and I'll give you a free ride into Patton's heart". He states before mumbling "since h- a- does"

"What did you say? Ya know nevermind, you have a deal." I say as Patton's smile flashes through my mind. "I bet I could do it within 30 minuets." I state confidently as Virgil stares at me strangely

"If you can I'll even teach you how to build and ride a motorcycle." He laughs not believing I'm my capability's and Romans arrogance with his overwhelming lack of common sense.

Oddly enough I'm pretty good friend with Roman, although it's safe to say I'm probably the Biggest nobody in the school, and he's the one who's got everyone around his finger, we make a pretty good team.

I make my way over, as a smile grows on my face "oh Mr. Popular." I say in a goofy voice as he turns around with a smirk.

"Oh great it's Einstein himself." He says putting on a face of disgust and I laugh. "What's up lo?" He asks.

"Can I talk to you for a bit?" I ask as he nods his head and waved goodbye to his friends.

"You good?" He asks In a soft voice as I nod.

"I just got a few questions for ya that's all." I shrug "first what's your favorite color

"Purple? Why?"

"Do you like guys?" I ask

"Wow big jump okay..."

"Oh shut it, i think i know the answer." I state slapping his arm as he chuckled under his breath.

"and uhh yeah I've been openly bi for a few months, I can't believe I didn't tell you." He laughs awkwardly.

"What do you think of Virgil August?" I ask

"I've never talked to him, he seems kinda Unapproachable." Thats what he says about everyone he likes, he uses it as an excuse, even tho he knows he cab talk to anyone.

"Hmm, what about look wise." I ask knowing he won't catch on.

He turns around full 180° and checks Virgil out in the least subtle way possible. "He's a cutie, I guess. But I adore his piercings."

"Wanna meet him?" I say alittle surprise on how he hasn't even guessed why I'm asking all of theses questions revolving around the angsty bad boy.

"Alright." He shrugs as we make our way over to the dark dressed teen.

"Virgil this is Roman, Roman, Virgil." I state as he looks at me surprised.

"Hey, your the receiver on the football team right?" Virgil asks as he doesn't know.

"And your the kid who plays the guitar before and after school." Roman says giving his, what the girls call it 'heart stealing smile' and I can tell it worked on Mr. bad boy over here.

"Uhh yeah." Virgil blushes. "I didn't think anyone heard that." He states bringing his hand to his neck and rubbing it nervously.

"Your really good, Is love to hear you play sometime." Roman claims casually as Virgil shrugs

"Roman! Come here!" I hear josh call as Roman holds up a finger telling him to wait.

"Here." Roman says pulling a sharpie out of his letterman's jacket as he grabs Virgil's hand and taking off the lid.

"Give me a call, maybe we could see a movie sometime." He smiles as he finishes writing his number and just as he leaves he turns around waves us goodbye and gives Virgil a wink.

"Holy shit you did it. Holy fuck I have his number, holy damn he wants to take me to a movie." Virgil fangirls

"Holy hell, can you say holy one more time?" I laugh as Virgil rolled his eyes.

"Well, lets make Patton fall for you harder than I can fall down the highschool stairs."

I laugh as I remember Virgil staring at Mr. Royal pain, not paying attention to the snow covering the steps, as be sails down the stairs spraining his wrist as be almost manages to do a hand stand only to flip over the rail to the other half of the stairs. And somehow I was the only one who saw it.

"Alright Logan, now that you've built one, now you need to learn how to ride one." Virgil sighs as I look at my hands covered in oil and other substances.

"Can I you know, wash up first?" I ask wiping my hair out of my face.

" No you gotta learn now dammit." He states with a smile.

"Uh alright." I state akwardly. "Ohhh you were using sarcasm weren't you?" I say as it clicks.

"Yes, yes I was." He says shaking his head, but once you've learned how to ride, we will do something about this." I states pointing me up and down.

"I'm thinking electric blue." He mumbles outloud.

"You know if it makes patton, share similar, feelings I'll do it." I sigh

"You do know you shouldn't have to change for him, he should like you for you." Virgil states uneasy.

"That's the thing, no one is going to want to date a super computer with no style." I state.

"Well, I'll do this for you, but I'm not going to have you do the permanent stuff, just in case you ever want to go back." He states as we make our way inside to get washed up.

After an hour of relaxing I hear Virgil call my name.

"Let's teach this nerd how to ride!" He laughs as I walk into the living room rolling my eyes, knowing full well he's just teasing.

I follow him out side to see the motorcycle I built, and his.

"So what have you driven?" He asks

"A car and a Moped" I shrugged as he lets out a snicker

"So you've driven a gay motorcycle?" He laughs." As I nod laughing with him. "Don't worry I've driven one too, but atleast you should be decent at riding this bad boy."

"If you say so." I claim as I climb onto my bike."

"So when riding your right hand is responsible for two crucial functions, acceleration and braking." He begins to explain "remember that a little twist on the throttle goes along way, you'll find that out when you find your ass on the pavement."

"You have to be smooth when pressing the brakes, if not you can and will skid and cause an accident if you push the brake to quickly." He states moving over to the other side of the bike "but if you are going to use your rear break right here, you are going to have to multitask and use your foot, this is the most effective way of stopping." He explains while I make a mental note to use that one more often.

"The clutch on the motorcycle is very similar to a car." He starts pointing at it. "You must brake slightly when switching gears, so your bike won't rattle. But finding neutralwitg your left foot will get some getting used to, make it a habit to clutch every time you switch." He stated as he grabs the clutch and puts it in neutral.

"That about it, now go to first gear and ride."He states walking over to his bike.

I take a deep breath in as I slowly let go of the break, hold down the clutch as I make it into first gear, and I start off down the dirt road.

Slowly it becomes more natural, me using my left foot gets easier and I'm learning how to use the brakes without almost flipping the bike. After a few hours of riding around me and Virgil decide to call it a night.

"You did good," he stays with surprise In his voice "better than my first go."

"Thanks!" I smile at him as I walk inside and flop on the couch.

"I say when we wake up in the morning, we go get some bleach and box dye, and mix up your wardrobe alright." He says throwing me a few blankets and pillows.

"Thanks Virgil, really."

"Anytime, plus you got me a date with Mr. Roman Prince so I might as well." He laughs slightly, " if ya need anything holler, I'm probably gonna be awake till, three."

"Alright But you should sleep more, really." I state

"Oh god your beginning to sound like my mother." He scoffs lightheartedly as he walks into his room.

I pull out my phone to see a text from Patton,

Hey lo, my flight will be here at 10:30am on Thursday, I know your going to be at school. But I'm hoping you can still pick me up

Yeah that should be fine, and you know how you were telling I should change up my style?

Yeah! Omg did you do it,? What are you going for?! I think you would look fantastic with a piercing or two!! Or like a jean jacket!!

You'll see, let's just say I've picked up a few tips from our neighborhood edge lord.

Omg I'm so exited, I can already imagine what your going to look like!!

Yeah anyways I'm gonna head to bed I'll see you in a few days, goodnight Patton.

Goodnight lo, I have something ive wanted to tell you, but since your suprising me, I can wait.❤️

Strange he normally doesn't send hearts to me. I think as I feel my heat rate increasing. he's probably is just excited to see me all 'punked up' I think to myself as I plug in my phone and allow myself to fall into a peaceful sleep

I wake up at a semi reasonable time, later than I normally sleep.

I sit up and rub the sleep out of my eyes before realizing that I slept in my clothes from before.

I stand up, and make my way into the kitchen to see a note.

I'm guessing you wake up early so if you so eat what ever, I'll be up around one, if you want you can continue practicing riding

-V

10 isn't early. I think to myself shrugging as I open the fridge and decide to make myself some egg toast. I'll make Virgil some before he wakes up.

�� After about 15 minutes it's done yet food isn't really on my mind. All I can think about is patton. His smile, his laugh, his very sexual innuendos that are actually funny, how he's been by my side since day one. I love it how his curly hair springs back up when he pulls on them. The freckles that line his glasses, his dimples. He bright emerald eyes. He, in my eyes is the definition of perfect. But I'm worried he won't like me, even after I change for him, after all I'm just... me

My hair is a taupe brown, messily combed back, so strands naturally fall in my face. Brown eyes, they sometimes look gold but they aren't anything impressive. I'm tall, lanky, boring. My smile doesn't light up a room. My laugh isn't the best. Patton is everything I'm not, so why am I trying so hard to 'win him over?'

I sigh as I push my plate to the side, I know I'm in too deep, plus Patton already knows that my look is going to change so I might as well.

I sit in the same spot at the breakfast bar, pondering, the 'What ifs' and all the possible endings if we got together, having some be a magical fantasy others, heart breaking friendship ruining endings . Apparently I was sitting here for a long time since Virgil stumbled into the room pulling out the milk from the fridge.

"Logan I can feel your doubt in my sleep, what's up?" He asks with purple hair flying every which way.

"I don't know, I feel like even after I change, Patton's still not gonna like me." I explain as Virgil laughs slightly

"Are you Fucking me right now? Patton only ever talks about you!" He exclaims. "He May not know it but I can see that he is head over heals, believe it or not Patton is always happier when your around. He blushed when he retells the adventures you've been on, like I said were not doing anything to permanent, just making you pop, so everything clicks for him." Virgil says trying to lighten my mood.

"But how do you know, all we know is he loves me platonically, Patton likes bad boys, and guess what I'm not." I huff as Virgil rolls his eyes as the doorbell rings.

" Uhh I'll be right back, but this conversation is not over." Virgil states as he stands up and swings open the door to see Roman standing confidently, hair styled to his perfection, while Virgil is standing embarrassed, hair like a train wreck, purple pajama bottoms with storm clouds, and shirt less.

"Uhh her Roman!" I hear Virgil squeak out "I didn't know you were coming."

"Well I wanted to surprise you!" Roman laughs as Virgil pats down his bed head. "Trust me you look great." Roman complements as Virgil opens the door letting the taller In

"Hey lo! What's up?" Roman asks as he slides into the chair next to mine.

"The ceiling." I shrug. As he give me a small smile and shakes his head.

"You ready for your hair transformation?" He asks giving me wiggly eyebrows, like the goofball he is.

"Actually, I am."

"Great! Cause I already got the dye!" Virgil says shaking two boxes, one is bleach the other a bright blue dye box.

"I thought we were getting those today?" I ask aloud

"Yeah but i was bored last night, sooo." He laughs while he stands on the other side of the breakfast bar.

"When did you go out?" Roman asks.

"4:30 I think maybe 5ish" He states already mixing the bleach.

"Good god! No wonder why you sleep in so late." I claim surprised.

"Yeah, yeah, I've heard it allllll before. Now come over hear and imma make your hair look hotter the Dee's. I glance over at Roman and I see a look of jealousy that's covered with a smile.

"Is it supposed to feel it itchy?" I yell going into the shower for the second time.

"Yes!" I hear the two yell

"Just like last time!" Roman adds as I watch the blue run down the white tile

"It looks like I killed a smurf!" I yell and I hear laughing.

After the color fades in the water I hop out and get dressed.

"Holy fuck" roman states with a giddy smile.

"Your hair took the dye so well!" Virgil complements, well I think it's a complement. "Now let me style it!" Virgil says as I sit in the familiar chair, that I've been sitting in for 2 and a half hours.

After fifteen minutes I hear the blow dryer get turned off and the combing stops.

"Well go see your luxurious hair." Virgil's says pointing at a mirror and I'm met with the brightest blue hair I've ever seen.

"Wow..." I say running my hands through my fingers speechless.

"Now how do you feel about contacts?" I hear Roman ask.

"I have some, but I normally don't use em." I explain as Roman pulls some out of his letterman jacket.

"I stole theses from your house last night." He shrugs handing them to me and I take them rolling my eyes.

"You mean my landlord let you in?" I state raising an eyebrow as Roman nods and laughs with a cheesy smile.

I get up close and personal to the mirror in front of me, and put them in with ease, while I can feel Virgil cringing.

I blink a few times as it shifts into place. I look over at the two smiling like idiots.

"Hey Virgil?" I start. "Do you know how to do any piercings?" I ask as he cocks a brow, smiles.

"Yeah, I can do snake bites, ear piercings, tongue and eyebrows." He states,

"I want all, except the tongue one." I state. If I'm being completely honest I've always wanted piercings but I've never had the means or courage to get them.

"You sure? I mean they are a pain to clean." He states making sure this is what I really want.

"Yeah." I state confidently as he leaves, and returns with a box."

"I'm starting with your ears." He starts. "They are the easiest to do." He claims as he pulls out a lighter and a needle.

"Roman go into the kitchen and find me a potato." He states as Roman stands up and leaves and Virgil starts lighting the needle.

"Roman what's taking you so long?!" Virgil yells? After at least five minutes of waiting.

"I'm coming! Calm you horses." He Roman sighs dramatically as he tosses Virgil the potato. And before I know it my ears and my lip is pierced twice.

"Your right! This didn't hurt at all!" I say surprised as Virgil nods concentrating intensely as I feel his hands pinch my left eyebrow.

" be still." He grunts as he gets a bigger needle with a piercing connected to the end."

I feel the needle go in and this time it's painful.

"Fuck." I mutter, as Virgil freezes in fear

"Your lucky." Virgil states as he starts to clean up his gear.

"Why?"

"I normally don't do eyebrow piercings because there's a vein near there where it could permanently paralyze you, unless your lucky." He says

"And your only now telling him?!" Romans gasps and I nod along.

"Trust me, I know my Shit, I'm trying to be a professional."

"But your not." I state as he gives me a playful glare.

"Alright nerd, well I guess i cant call you that anymore, anyways lets go shopping."

"I love shopping!" Roman smiles happily as we all head out the door

We come back with bags upon bags of grungy/ punk outfits that I personally like, and will make me look 'cooler'

"Well that's been enough shopping for me, my children and my grandchildren." Virgil says flopping on the couch.

"Are you serious?" Roman gasps. "It was only 2 and a half hours!" He says

"Well how long do you normally shop, Mr. Flamboyant over there?" He asks lifting his head from the cushion, just to let it fall back down.

"I normally go out, and wander around all day, then go home with all my Goods." He states holding his few bags.

"I'm so happy I'm not you" Virgil stare muffled as I get a call by the one and only Patton.

"Hey Patton? What's up?" I ask and I hear a weak voice respond

"Um, are you alone right now?"

"Uhh." I state walking into Virgil room and locking it behind me. "I am now, what's wrong."

"So uh, my cousin slipped up that I liked guys at her wedding, and my parents didn't take it well." He states voice cracking.

"I'm so sorry Patton." I sympathize as my heart breaks for him.

"It's alright." He sniffs. "But they made me come home early, and I know it's all of a sudden but I need a place to stay, and a ride, and I know that you just got your own place and I don't want to intrude but I-"

"You can stay with me Patton. Where are you right now?" I say understandingly.

"I'm out side the airport."

I'll be right there, luckily for you, I just finished shopping so you can see my new style." I say trying to lighten the conversation.

"I can't wait." He says and I can hear the soft smile on his face.

"See I'm a few." I state.

"Thank you so much Logan, really, and I've been thinking a lot, and I've decided that I got something important to tell you once your here."

"I can't wait." I say just as he did to me as he hangs up and I open the door to clothes thrown at me."

"Go to your lover!" Roman squeals as I stare at him and shut the door.

"I get dressed in a long green shirt with a flower print on it, black skinny jeans and boots as quickly as possible, and I freeze at the door.

"Do you think i can drive all the way to the airport?!" I panic.

" Of course you can! Your a natural, just go on the back roads." He states worring a little since we didnt practice much.

I soon arrive to the air port where I see Patton with a back pack and I pull up beside him.

"Hey patton." I smile as I see his jaw drop slightly.

"Holy fuck." He whispers but quickly turns pink.

I open my arms as he clings on to me.

"What was the thing you were going to tell me?"

"I Uhh... I've thought... um." He starts as he pulls away.

"So, I was talking to Virgil and he made me realize that Ireallyreallylikeyou! Butnowyoulooksogreat! Andidontknowwhattodowithmyself!" He says quickly as my heart speeds up.

And I do something the nerd I was would have never done. I grab his face and kiss him, and he quickly melts into the kiss. And we break apart smiling.

"You have no idea how long I've been waiting to do that." I gasp as Patton blushes.

"I liked your nerdy style, but I love this one." He states.

"That's why I did it."

I watch as his eyes grow wide as he runs his fingers through my hair. "Logan! You shouldn't have changed for me! I was going to ask you out anyway."

"But I like the style too, so don't worry about that." I reassure him and he stares skeptically.

"If you say so." He states as I take off his back pack and put it beneath the seat the I get onto my bike.

"You coming?" I ask as he nods happily and climbs on the back seat, his arms snaking around my waist and as I begin to ride I feel his head lean against my back and I can truly say that this is the happiest I've ever been.
