golden rule
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
lucy maclean x gn!reader
summary: you become lucy's only friend in wasteland.
warnings: weapon usage/mentions, brief blood mention, wasteland and life outside the vault, lucy is naive and oblivious at first and a hot mess later, mostly just fluff, golden retriever lucy & black cat reader type of shit, kinda enemies/strangers to secret in lover with each other, reader is hot i wanna date them but also a loser if you see through them, no nsfw, not proofread
"just give it a thought, alright? we could help each other."
"why would i want you for a company? no offense, princess, but i don't associate with vault dwellers." you take a look at her from head to toes, studying the details in her jumper. despite how cool her pistol looked attached to her belt like that, the yellow and blue choice was kind of goofy, you thought.
you can see the excitement in her eyes disappearing as she hears you and you almost felt sorry for her. almost. "okay, ouch." she tilts her head, crossing her arms. in a second, her dramatic act gave place to a smug smile. "oh, i know! what if i help you to find the head?"
even your own bitterness left your soul as you hear her. you pause for a moment, searching for any sign of unseriousness in her face. maybe it was just a bad joke? but then, she keeps staring at you with those huge eyes and a not so subtle smile, proud of what she had said.
"i'm sorry, a head? you mean someone's head?" you frown. "i don't know what you vault people think of us but i'm not a monster." you weren't really offended, but seeing the panic in her face was actually princeless.
"what? no, no! i was just- everyone wants that head and i thought you-" she starts to ramble, not wanting to offend you. her beam went away as fast as it reached her face. you almost felt bad for her twice in a row now.
you couldn't hold yourself back anymore and allowed a smirk to creep onto your lips. she immediately stopped talking and, even though she exhaled relief, you knew that deep down she wanted to kill you but was too kind for that.
"oh. you were messing with me. funny." she gives you a forced dry laugh. it was actually annoying how she tried to be so nice all the time.
as a response, you give her a nonchalant wry smile. "anyway. i'm not looking for a dog right now, so..." you sigh, reaching for the heavy backpack on the floor and sliding it onto your shoulders. "but good luck with the head or whatever it means." you wink at the stranger and turn around to leave.
"wait! please." she grabs your wrist before you could take the first step and in response, you turn around again impatiently, glancing down at her tight grip on your skin. it takes her a while to realize that she's still holding you but as soon as she does, she immediately looks at your wrist as well and let go of it. "sorry." she whispers.
you were ready to interrupt her but, curiously, you felt bad when seeing how insanely desperate she was. it wouldn't hurt to just hear what the had to say, right?
"i've been having a rough week, okay? everyone i've met tried to kill me, except for you. a weird..." she pauses, thinking "robot, or whatever, tried to harvest my organs out and i had to cut someone's head off. and i may not be the strongest or the most experienced person but i can learn!" she was truly putting on her best show while you stood in front of her completely unbothered. at least, you liked to think that you were a complete fearless and tough person. "just... please?"
against all odds, you didn't deny it immediately. and, if you didn't deny it immediately, you knew what it meant. fuck, when did you become such a softie? it could be, of course, the way her hair looked pretty even in a messy ponytail or how the cut on her lip made her look so incredibly ho-
"okay, fine. whatever." that idiot creepy huge smile of hers spread on her face again before you could even finish. "listen up, i'm not done." you roll your eyes. "we'll do things my way, get it? you speak when i speak, you shoot when i shoot, you walk when i walk." you take steps closer to her while you talk. firm, hoarse and assertive tone. you stop when you feel the tip of her nose almost touching yours, keeping the steady the eye contact intact. you were so busy initimidating her that you don't even notice when she hold her breath.
"you are my shadow." you reach up for her face, cupping her chin with your thumb and index finger, forcing her to look back at you. "you don't exist unless i tell you to. do you understand me?" you stated with a piercing gaze.
you thought it was impossible for her eyes to get any bigger but when you step out of your scary platform, you notice her terrified expression. "okey dokey..." she nods frantically.
you gotta admit it. she didn't seem as goofy as before while paying attention to you so devotedly like that. even when still wearing that ridiculous jumper.
eventually, you realize that your eyes were betraying you by staring at her for a little too long. you clean your throat, trying to cover that up. "good. let's go now. we can't stay here forever." you step back and start to walk away, not even waiting for her to join you.
you hear her hasty footsteps getting closer as she tries to catch up to you until she finally shares your pace. "i'm lucy, by the way. lucy maclean." she held her head high, corners of her mouth going up again. god, she smiled a lot.
"good for you. i'm still gonna call you princess, though."
"not to brag, cause that would be impolite of me, but i found a really cool place when i was looking for a river this morning." lucy's smiling from ear to ear and excitedly rocking from side to side is the first thing you see when you open your eyes after a tough night of sleep.
a week had passed since you met lucy. no matter how tough you considered yourself to be, lucy was persistent, charming, sweet and funny enough to make her way to your heart and you knew that you were doomed. deep down, you were suspicious that she knew that as well.
"why are you always so happy?" you groan, rubbing your eyes. unlike lucy, you were not a morning person. or a night person. or any time of the day person.
"good morning to you too, sunshine!"
you are forced to get up, not being actually opposed to it, and take a short sip from your last water bottle. maybe taking a look at lucy's oh so great place would be useful.
"okay then. let's do it, princess." you use your hands to brush the remains of sand and dust out of your pants but lucy's cute giggle prevents you from heading out of the shelter you had found.
lucy approaches you with her usual polite and sweet grin and you unconsciously flinch as she stops just a few inches from you and touch you. predictable, she was gentle while brushing the top of your hair with her fingers, fixing the bundle of messy strands that merged together while you were sleeping and added a funny volume to your head. you follow every move of her with darting eyes and an uncontrollable urge to admire her green eyes focused on your hair and reddish parted lips.
"there you go. pretty as always." lucy coos and before withdrawing herself, her fingers slid down by a few inches and casually tucked a strand of hair behind your ear. for the first time in ages, you froze.
thankfully, lucy didn't seem to notice how affected you were by her innocent act. "thanks." you whispered in a ridiculously soft grin and followed her out of the shelter.
"why do you have a gun if you don't like using it? that's stupid." you tease lucy while you two walked side by side, following the train track to the place she had mentioned.
"i do use it. just when i have no other option. you know, because of the golden rule." she shrugs, proudly, proceeding to explain it to you.
you really tried to not care or call it dumb, but instead, you snorted in amusement. "you are way too naive, you know that?"
a dilapidated house.
lucy's incredible and cool place was nothing but a whole junk. everything was falling apart and, judging by how empty it was, many others were there before you.
"it looked cool from the outside..." she explains herself while scratching the back of her neck.
you were strong. firm. scary and ruthless even. you would shove a knife on anybody's throat if they wasted your time like that, especially after a terrible night of sleep. but, again, it wasn't anybody. it was her.
so, funny or not, you laughed.
"god, you are such a terrible explorer." you take a quick peek at her with the corner of your eyes, wearing an idiotic and foolish smirk on your lips.
"i am not!" her jaw drops and her voice sounds whinier as she defends herself but giggle along with you, not feeling scared to be vulnerable and fully stare at you.
you didn't have to answer to that. all you did was look back and forth at her and the house, proving your point.
"okay, you got me there." she looks down, dramatically pouting and pretending to feel so insulted. "but at least i made you smile. looks good on you." lucy's lips twitch in a shy grin.
"maybe i should smile more, then. if you like it." you boldly murmur, surprised at yourself for saying that. you could swear that lucy's face got almost entirely red but you didn't have enough time to appreciate it or figure if it was real.
"look at those cute lovebirds. love has returned to wasteland, gentlemen." a tall, sturdy middle-aged man mocks you to two other creepy looking guys. one was even missing an eye. in two seconds, you were able to count how many weapons they had and your first thought was the possibility of lucy getting hurt.
you quickly stood in front of her, shielding her from any kind of possible danger.
everthing happened too fast after that. all you remember is denying their offer to take your backpacks with the remains of food and water you had and all of your weapons.
everything went black for a second as your body hit the ground. you slowly manage to get on your knees and look around but lucy isn't there and you are trapped. you feel a sharp pain as you breathe in and a drop of blood hits your pants. you shudder at the moment you cautiously feel your cheek, warm to the touch and stinging like you were poked by a thousand needles. your fingertips carefully drop to your mouth and you hiss as you touch the wide cut on your swollen lower lip.
you notice the crisp click of the gun's trigger being released and you look up, expecting to see the weapon pointed at your head. instead, you see the men with their hands above their heads.
"get away from them!" lucy's voice fills your ears and you turn your head back to find her with a huge weapon in hands pointed at the strangers. she takes a quick glance at you and you see the anger inside her overflow as she notices your wounds.
"i'm gonna count to three and i want your ugly, filthy and miserable roaches out of my face or... or i'll shoot!" judging by her tone, you can easily notice how nervous she is even though she's trying her best to actually stand up for you.
and the thought of being protected by someone made your heart flutter. you weren't bothered by the aching pain in your lip when you found yourself proudly smiling at her.
the big guy seemed to notice the tension in her voice and took a step closer to you. you could only imagine how badly he had regretted that as soon as a loud bang echoed through the entire house and his foot was hanging by a thread, quite too literally.
"oh, golly..." lucy mutters with widen eyes. you follow her shock with a gasp that was completely muffled by the loud and agonized screech.
"don't make me repeat myself! all of you out, now!" she yells, threatening them by aiming the gun at them once more. "if that's okay with you, please." the scary expression in her face swiftly changed to a well-mannered and soft grin.
the injured men is rushedly dragged out by the other two, not looking back and you can not believe that someone as adorable looking as lucy was the one to broke her dear rule and hurt people.
"thank you! t-take care." she waves at them innocently, still with the gun in hands before running to you.

( ๐Ÿ“ ) THINGS THEY DO TO MAKE IT UP TO YOU
synopsis: they can't apologize like normal human beings, so they do their quirky acts to make you forgive them
characters: sanji (shocker), zoro & luffy!
warnings: swearing, (unintentional) angst for luffy..
a/n: my new hobby is making cute character banners oops ๐Ÿซข banner inspired by @sixosix <3! happy ending for luffy here !!
Tumblr media
โ˜† whenever you and SANJI have had a fight or disagreement of any sort, he folds first. he is always the first one to give the 'cold-shoulder' act up.
โ˜† usually, he wouldn't ever stop talking about how much he loves you and how absolutely drop-dead gorgeous you are, but the moment he should talk about all that, he doesn't.
โ˜† he knows he fucked up.. but he can't bring himself to charm you up like usual.. so- he decides to bake his way out of this problem!
โ˜† your favorite cake, fruits, drinks, chocolate, and anything you ever mentioned to enjoy will be made and presented to you by your truly apologetic sanji <3
โ˜† he'd be standing in the kitchen for hours on end. not taking a break because he feels like it's 'his responsibility' to make you forgive him the hard way.
โ˜† eventually, after being presented more than a month's worth of desserts.. you got worried about the state your charming blonde lover was in.
"not that i forgot our fight.. but you should take a break, sanji.. you've been overworking yourself since this morning!" you tell him, trying your hardest not to sound worried. he gives you an exhausted smile, dropping the cutlery he had in his one hand and the spatula he had in the other one. "you talked to me," he spoke, barely louder than a whisper, before he let out a sigh of relief.
you felt your heart ache, seeing him in his current condition; sweat dripping from his forehead, hands cramped up from all the work he had done, and his apron splattered with a mixture of flower and melted chocolate.
your eyes met his almost immediately, which resulted in him instinctively noticing your sorrowful eyes. "what's wrong, darling? you alright?" he dusts his hands off with the kitchen towel before making his way to you swiftly. "my love why are you giving me your sad puppy eyes right now?" he chuckles as he cups your face in his cold hands, caressing your cheeks with his thumbs.
"because you overworked yourself because of me.. your hands are all cramped up because i was too stubborn to forgive you right away! i don't deserve you sanji.." he gasps, almost offended. "now that is the bullest crap i've ever heard. darling, i've gone way longer with way more pressure on me to complete dishes for a full-house back at baratie." he chuckles yet again, this time more relaxed. "what i did today was a mere exercise to make sure i was still able to perform under some pressure," a big smile growing on his face.
"sweetheart, if anything i don't deserve you.. i'm sorry for upsetting you earlier.. i was deep in the wrong, yet i'm only apologizing now. forgive me, my love." sanji gives kisses your forehead while grabbing your hands, interlocking them with his. "then let's say we're even now.." you two make up and after forcing sanji to let you help clean up the kitchen, you do just that.
โ˜† sanji tells you he won't 'bake his way out of a fight' anymore, but knowing him, you didn't believe that statement one bit. you told him to "just make sure you don't overwork yourself anymore.. wouldn't want your pretty hands to hurt.." ~ which ended with him teasing you the whole afternoon.. "you think i have pretty hands~? how very endearing, my love."
Tumblr media
โ˜† now anytime you and ZORO fight, with him being in the wrong, his pride always gets in the way of him owning up to his shit and apologizing. that's all you need from him, an apology. you don't expect him to bake you desserts or write you a poem declaring his live for you, no you just want an apology that isn't forced out of zoro by sanji or nami, or even usopp!
โ˜† you ignore him because he messed up big time and won't even acknowledge it? ha, child's play, he ignores you. you don't even know how this petty fight escalated so far that both of you haven't talked for a good couple days.
โ˜† usopp is basically begging you two to make up. considering he had been forced given the role to communicate things between the two of you. zoro needed to clean his sword but didn't know which cleaning agent to use, because you always gave him the right cleaning agent? โŸถ usopp is sent to you asking you which cleaning agent is best to clean zoro's swords with. receiving the dirtiest glance from you, you tell him to tell zoro "he should pay attention more to what others say, instead of staring at his reflection off of his sword 24/7!" โŸถ usopp goes to zoro and delivers the message. zoro scoffs and chuckles lightly before angrily giving usopp yet another message to deliver to you. โŸถ after a while usopp started hiding from the both of you, not wanting to get sent to other anymore.
โ˜† nami is on your side, of course, sending dirty glances to zoro any chance she gets. she doesn't give him the silent treatment, but instead aggressively tries to let him acknowledge his faults so he could own up to his shit and just apologize!
"y'know zoro, i'm not even in this relationship, yet your ego still somehow found a way to suffocate me! fucking realize you've been acting like a child and just own up to the fact that you messed up, damn it." nami blurts out, all in one breath, before she walks off annoyed.
zoro let's out yet another scuff before sanji makes his way to the moss head. "don't you even start-" zoro sends him an angry glance which has sanji raising his hands in defense, chuckling slightly. "i just can't stand seeing my beloved y/n in distress like this. i don't know the details, i don't want to know the details. all i know is that if you don't want to lose her, i'd act fast if i were you.." he just as quickly turned away and resumed his kitchen activities.
out of all the things the crew told him, hoping to convince the stubborn moss head to apologize to you, this stuck with him for the rest of the day.
after having a rather silent diner with the crew, the same as the past few days, you finished first, leaving the table immediately. "thank you, sanji, the soup was delicious, as expected," you tried to smile at him which resulted in your lips becoming a wobbly line.
"anytime, darling, i'm glad you enjoyed.." sanji noticed your sorrowful expression, as did the rest of the crew. you sent him a forced smile again before leaving the kitchen, heading for your and nami's room.
zoro sighed before standing up from his spot, leaving the kitchen to follow you. reaching your room's door, he notices you locked it. "hey! open the door," zoro leans against the handle, his forehead against the door. "come on now, just open the door for me baby.." his voice softens, realizing how fucking stupid he's been acting, neglecting you in so many ways. "listen.. i'm sorry for being such an ass- you didn't deserve my shitty attitude, i shouldn't have acted so stubborn, i'm sorry. i- i just can't lose you okay? please open the door and talk to me, yell at me, scream your lungs out, just please let me see you baby.. " with that he balled his hand that was leaning on the door into a fist, remorse dripping out of his mouth as he finally realizes how wrong he has been acting, how bad he's been treating you, how much more you deserved.
what surprised him was that the moment you opened the door, you weren't carrying an annoyed expression. no, your eyes were teary, your upper lip was trembling, cheeks a red shade, and your eyebrows furrowed. "h-hey, don't cry now.." zoro wrapped his arms around you, whispering endearments into your ear whilst caressing your back.
you two ended up cuddling on you small framed bed, that barely kept the two of you on it. not a word communicated between the two of you. just you laying on his chest, playing with his fingers while his chin rests on top of your head, still caressing your back.
"i'll do better for you.." zoro breaks the silent, planting a kiss on your head. "i can't lose you, i won't lose you.." you look up at his last statement, putting your hand on his cheek. "you won't lose me.. you'll never lose me."
โ˜† yeah, fights with this man sure are extreme.. but you two make it work
Tumblr media
โ˜† every once in a while, on a full moon, you and LUFFY experience a disagreement lead to a big fight. of course your relationship isn't always all rainbows and butterflies. but considering luffy's nature of not taking most things serious, lots of fights were prevented. you thought luffy was flirting with a waitress when you left? he laughed so hard, getting cramps in his stomach, because he thought it was the most stupid thing ever that you believed he would flirt with someone other than you. he made you feel ridiculous, thinking of such a thing! โŸถ fight prevented!
โ˜†but sometimes, this very nature of his was what lead to some of the most dreadful moments of your life.
โ˜† anytime such an event would take place, luffy would be the furthest away from it, the furthest away from you.. it's not that he's angry at you, per se. he just needs his time alone to review all his actions leading up to the fight that may have caused for it to get this big. most of the time he'll be dozing off, too tired to look back on his actions. he doesn't even know himself why he always ends up avoiding you for a couple hours after a fight. all he knows is that he, somehow, always ends up understanding what went wrong between the two of you.
โ˜† but this routine action of his doesn't always receive a positive reaction from you..
there he went, yet again, neglecting his responsibility in this fight. it was petty, you knew it was, still you wanted him to own up to it! it wasn't fair that he'd leave you shaking, crying, screaming at the top of your lungs, out of nowhere. you were talking, well actually arguing, about how luffy had been avoiding you lately, how he'd turn around once he'd see you, sit at the other side of the table, leave the room the second he saw you enter it, but what hurt the most was that he'd shake off your touches..
you finally confronted him about this, not wanting to bottle up your emotions any longer. luffy reacted as usual, disregarding the issue jokingly, he assured, "it's not a big deal~ you're just seeing things." and then you snapped, everything you bottled up 'till this moment, unleashed. you were a sobbing mess. he had never seen you in this state, shit even you have never seen yourself like this.
you asked him what happened, what you did wrongfully. why was he ignoring you? why did he act like he was allergic to your touches, your voice, your conversations, to you? why all of a sudden? what changed between you? you wanted, no, needed him to answer; you hoped he would realize how stupid he was acting, how neglecting he had been. you needed him to take you in his arms and assure you he still loved you, that he still cared, that he always will..
as if all your sobs were disregarded. instead of talking to you, he stood up wordlessly and walked out of your room, gently closing the door behind him. which resulted in your cries escalating as you tried muffling your sounds with a pillow.
where did he go? why did he leave all of a sudden? does he not care about you? all of these thoughts were racing in your mind, overwhelming you to the point you were gasping for air. at this point, nami came sprinting to your shared room, worried about your condition. "what did that boy do?!" she questions with a mix of distress and anger.
all the while, luffy was sat on the figurehead of the going merry, the sheep. he was enjoying the cold breeze as he kept breathing in and out, trying to understand what had just happened. he soon realized he walked out on you the moment you needed him most. and oh how it should've hurt him, how his heart should be aching right now. instead, he feels nothing except the subtle chilly breeze flowing against his skin, through his hair, moving his flip-flops. he knows he should care, he knows he should run back to you, embrace you in his arms, and tell you he loves you. but he doesn't because as much as he wants you to feel loved and cared for, he can't be the one to make you feel that way. it's not fair to you, you deserve someone that means it when he tells you he loves you and always will be there for you.
he can't put on this facade anymore. he stopped caring a while back, but he believed it to be a decent thing to have you believe he was still the guy that would comfort you when you had a nightmare, the guy that would give you his last piece of meat to show you he cares, the guy that would cuddle you to sleep whenever it was too cold..
he thought it'd be easier for you. oh, how it turned out to be quite the opposite. because he faked your relationship this long, and it had come to an end like this; you didn't only lose your lover tonight, you lost your friend.
Tumblr media
MEI'S NOTE: uhm.. yeah idk what happened at luffy's part- but I hope you enjoyed โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ’“

Interfering with Halsin's Portal
It's pretty well known that there are a few situations you can get in where Halsin is well and truly angry rather than disappointed or worried, but I don't think a lot of folks know one of those situations is if you mess with his portal to the Shadowfell. It's a heartwrenching bit of acting. It's also fundamental to the plot of my in-progress fic Girdled Roots, so I figured I might share it with the other Halsin-lovers out there who have never seen it.
EDIT: Please be aware this is datamined dialog and may not be visible in game. It appears to be intended to trigger if the player attempts to enter the portal, which I don't believe is possible in the final game, or at least I couldn't find a way in the most recent version. Sharing this is simply to enjoy the incredible acting and get some plot bunnies moving, not to make any commentary about the game's canon.
Halsin's Initial Reaction
Halsin: No! Stop! Halsin: It's gone... that was our one chance.ย You've doomed this place to darkness! Halsin: I warned you - told you this was my burden to carry. Why didn't you listen?
The pure rage and despair is visceral. Prior to this, Halsin mentions this portal has been a century in the making, but he's so calm and measured (even upon success) that it is easy to dismiss just how much agony has plagued him as he hoped to make things right. This chance is everything to him. It has guided his every action for a century. It is a hundred years of work, prayer, and guilt to rectify the horrific fate of both land and people that came to nothing because a stranger he trusted refused to listen to him.
The portal breaking is the only time we hear Halsin speak the truth of its importance to him without a hint of emotional regulation. He is wild with pain. This man who is always thoughtful and slow to anger in the face of horror with the wisdom of age and suffering to guide him has become too overwhelmed to show any kindness.
Player response
The player is given several different ways to respond, and Halsin's reaction varies a surprising amount depending on how understandable their reason is. In most cases, he states that he needs to be alone afterward.
Option 1: I'm sorry - I acted on instinct. Halsin: Words won't repair what's been done to this land. Nothing will... I need to be alone.
You can hear the ache in Halsin's voice, but he's somewhat understanding of this response. He projects more sadness than unchecked rage. The player has admitted to making a mistake, and Halsin isn't the type of person who hold onto vengeance when an apology has been made, but he's not naive or people-pleasing enough to say "it's okay" or offer comfort either. The safest thing for everyone is for him to step away to grieve when there is nothing more to be done.
Option 2: I did all the work here - I couldn't just let you take the glory. Halsin: Glory?!ย There's no glory here. Now there's nothing here - only shadows and the total absence of hope. Halsin:ย ย There is nothing more to be said... I need to be alone.
Pure fury radiates from Halsin's response if the player focuses on the idea of being some grand hero rather than actually caring for the outcome. What the player did was an unforgiveable act, dooming everything that Halsin holds dear, and you have the audacity to complain about not getting glory from it. Again, he steps away, but this feels more like he's doing it because he believes you're worthless to reason with rather than because he needs a moment.
Option 3: I saved your grove - I figured it'd be best if I handled this as well. Halsin: We were this close to healing these lands. Now your arrogance has torn open the wounds once more. Halsin:ย ย There is nothing more to be said... I need to be alone.
Halsin is still frustrated with this response and unmistakably angry, but it's significantly toned down from the idea of wanting to go through the portal for glory. More like he thinks you're a self-important idiot than a truly terrible person.
Specialized player responses
There are also three special responses you can give if you have a particular class or diety.
Druid: I thought my powers were equal to yours. Halsin: It wasn't just power this needed - it was wisdom,ย understanding. I suffered along with this place for years trying to understand the curse... and it seems I will continue to do so. Halsin:ย ย There is nothing more to be said... I need to be alone.
Interestingly, he responds much more intensely to a druid than some of the other player choices. It might be in part because he feels like a druid should know better. He lectures the player like an Archdruid would initiates in his Grove, alternating between angry and explanatory, trying to get the player to understand why they were wrong and the sheer magnitude of their error. He ultimately ends in a much more resigned place here rather than personally resentful. Like a father-figure being forced through further life trials because of a child's foolish indiscretion. Frustrating, but inevitable.
Selunite:ย I trusted in Selรปne to guide me through the shadows. Halsin: My friend - I wish you had trusted in me.
This is probably Halsin's most simple response with the least vitriol. He fully understands this answer, even if he's disappointed by it. The fact he calls the player 'friend' suggests a certain tired acceptance of this being a natural behavior for a Selunite trying to do good. We don't see this calm in other responses where Halsin was surprised by the player's choice.
Sharran:ย The Shadowfell is no place for non-believers - I couldn't allow you to soil it. Halsin: I should never have trusted an ally of the Dark Lady.
If you've ever taken Halsin along with Shadowheart in Act 2, then you know he is absolutely scathing toward her and her faith. He likely isn't as angry if a Sharran breaks the portal because it is utterly predictable. It merely confirms a truth he already knew and talked himself out of. That Sharrans cannot be fully trusted in matters of their goddess, even if one was good enough to rescue his people from the goblins.

PAIRING bf! jay x reader GENRE toxic! relationship, angst no comfort WARNINGS insecurities,there might be some grammar mistakes WC 0.9k series masterlist
Tumblr media
December 12, 2001
"so, how was your day?"
you looked at him, your voice soft as you asked. you and your boyfriend sat in his car, the air thick with tension. but jays response was anything but kind. his eyes narrowed as he looked straight ahead of the road, his voice filled with bitterness. "fine" he spit out and silence fell upon you once again
no, it's back and forth, did I say something wrong?
the tone of his voice made you recoil, your heart sinking. it was a typical thursday night and you haven't seen each other outside of school in what felt like forever. you had only wanted to check up on him, to show him that you cared about his well being. but his words sliced through you like a dagger, leaving you feeling small and insignificant.
"thats great!" you tried to sound cheerful, but your voice betrayed you when those words came out quieter and wobblier than expected. you looked outside of the passenger seat's window, attempting to ignore the unbearable silence in the car. you could hear the joy and euphoria from passing cars and you couldn't help but feel jealousy radiating through you
All I did was speak normally, somehow I still struck a nerve
"why are you always so sensitive?" jay continued, his voice dripping with disdain. "you make everything about yourself. cant you see that I have my own problems to deal with?"
jay could feel your discomfort, he had to. hell, the passing cars could probably feel it "dont be like this" he said, sighing heavily "why do you always ask me that? you saw me at school. did you see me crying? no. so dont ask obvious shit when you already know the answer."
your eyes welled up with tears, voice trembling. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. I just-" you paused, feeling your throat close up "we haven't hung out in a while and i just wanted to make sure that you were fine"
jay scoffed, his anger intensifying. "you think you can solve all my problems with a simple question? youre so naive. you don't understand anything. fine, coach Madson was a fucking asshole today but i knew you wouldn't understand. isnt a simple 'fine' enough? all you know is how to break out in song and dance with your theater friends"
im the love of your life until I make you mad
your heart shattered as his words echoed in your mind. you had hoped for a moment of connection, a chance to offer support. but instead, you found yourself facing his anger, his frustration, and his complete lack of empathy.
you longed for affection, for those sweet words of love to fall from his lips. but instead, you were met with a wall of unpredictability. one moment, he would hold your hand and make you feel like the most special person in the world. the next, he would push you away, leaving you wondering where you went wrong.
every little thing you did seemed to set him off, like a ticking time bomb ready to explode. his anger was swift and cutting, leaving you feeling small and insignificant. it was a rollercoaster of emotions, and you couldn't help but question if he truly loved you.
jays grip on the wheel tightened even further as you reached a familiar intersection. the red light seemed to mock your mess of a relationship, the halted traffic mirroring your damaged connection.
as the light turned green, he pressed down on the gas pedal, your heart pounding heavily in your chest. the car lurched forward, the engine roaring, but the noise was nothing compared to the deafening silence between you two. the streets blurred as you sped through the night.
in that moment, you realized that jay wasn't capable of providing the love and understanding you have craved. he was a storm of emotions and absolutely unpredictable, lashing out at anyone who dared to get close.
on your late night drives, you would often find yourself bracing for impact. would jay walk you home, or would he send you home crying again? it was a cruel game of chance, and you were trapped in its endless cycle.
"look" he sighed "im sorry for lashing out, im just stressed with-" he paused longer than expected "practice, AP calc, everything, okay? its nothing personal"
his apology didnt change the storm of emotions forming inside you but you tried to tame it as best as possible, trying to look unbothered by his constant outbursts of hatred.
when did it all go wrong? you have known him since forever, his toothy grin and messed up bangs permanently engraved in your head. you managed to form an awkward smile "its okay" its always okay, as long as you were with him
do you love me, want me, hate me?
finally, you arrived at your house, and jay pulled over. the quiet and calm suburb contrasting the chaos in your head. the car idled, the engine still rumbling.
there was a moment of silence, a moment where the weight of your emotions hung in the air. and then, without another word, jay reached over and opened the car door. his gesture made you feel giddy and hope filled your heart. as you stepped out, you gave him your biggest smile
"ill see you tomorrow, text me, okay? i love you"
he didnt say it back nor did he message you that night
no, I don't understand

365 with you ๐Ÿค. kazuha x fem!reader
CW: mostly on the soft side, makeup sex, reader receiving, a little angsty, not proofread, overstimulation
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"I love you zuha, I really do!" you screamed out to her while she was in disbelief. "you were literally flirting with her in front of me."
for context, you and kazuha got into a dumb argument about you always fooling around with yunjin like it was nothing. you were popular with the sserafim girls and they adored you very much. but you loved zuha so much, more than them. which she didn't believe I guess.
anyway, you stomped your way over closer to zuhas face three inches away and told her this "fine, keep thinking I don't love you more but just remember I do!" you lost your temper and stormed out of your shared house. running away, not knowing where you were even going. zuha knew her baby was gonna get lost.
you were driving away, fast, hands gripping on the steering wheel and sobbing screaming curses left and right, hating yourself for running out like that. you decided to call sakura, duh .. shes the oldest. she'll know what to do.
"s-sakura unnie .. I ran away from zuha" you sniffed and cleared your throat while being stuck in traffic. "y/nnie? what do you mean? where are you?" her worried tone made you even more guilty.
"I'm lost, don't k-know what to do, and we g-got into a big fight." man you were stuttering a lot. your voice kept cracking because whenever you spoke or thought about it more you would sob even more.
"y/n come to the apartment, you can stay here." with that you drove to the girls apartment and once you walked in, all the girls were on the couch. to be specific, eunchae grabbing a box of tissues, yunjin folding a blanket, then chaewon and sakura making the snacks. they were probably preparing for your arrival.
anyways, walking in with red eyes, messed up mascara and baggy sweatpants and clothes, was probably the most embarrassing thing you've ever showed them.
"y/n love, come here its gonna be okay." yunjin said while the members motioned to sit on the couch. you explained to them everything, beginning to end and very detailed. with that you went to sleep in yunjins room for the night while the rest of the girls decided to call zuha.
she was a mess too. she blamed herself for everything and said she was gonna stop by tomorrow morning .. at least thats what your ears heard.
next morning, you were washing your face, getting ready to face the worst day. you ate waffles for breakfast while watching k-dramas with the girls in the living room, when all of a sudden the doorbell rang. you ran to the nearest room, all because of zuha's presence.
Yunjin let her in and you could hear footsteps coming to the room, your dumbass was hiding in the closet.
"y/n baby, come out please. I'm sorry for what I did." no response, pure silence. zuha sat down in front of the closet crisscrossed and started to explain herself.
"babe im truly sorry for the way I was jealous. I know you would never fall for the girls its just I get so insecure because they're so pretty compared to me. I know you tell me I'm always better but im just scared. please come out love, I wont hurt you."
you came out slowly and hugged your girlfriend as tight as you could. you loved this girl so much and never would leave her. you straddled her lap and started to give her small pecks all over her face telling her how much you missed her and all the clingy shit like that.
zuha stopped you and started to have a heated make-out session with you till you both couldn't breathe. it was hot, and you couldn't believe you had this girl.
"let me show you how sorry I am for upsetting you baby." she said while she carries you onto the bed, which you think was chaewons?doesn't matter.
you continued the heated session as she starts undressing your top first. her mouth never left your body. teasing you in the spots where you were sensitive the most and she loved how your body always reacted to her actions. she went up to your ear, her breath fanning your neck.
"I think we should skip the foreplay right?" and started to go down on you immediately. she give your crotch one big lick while looking at you with puppy eyes to see your reaction.
"fuck!~" you groaned out while throwing your head back. she continued and collected your wetness with her index finger, dragging her finger up and down your slit multiple times.
"just hurry up and do-" you got cut off when she started eating you out like crazy while having two fingers pumping into you at the same time with a insane pace that your little body couldn't keep up with. you kept arching your back, squirming so much but she kept you down.
you squirted. in a fountain like way .. that threw kazuha off guard but she liked it. you've never done that before ? and it was a new feeling but oh em gee you would want it again.
kazuha smirked and liked the way your little body reacted again, so she continued to overstimulate you. she kept eating you out while both of her veiny hands were reaching up to pinch your buds. you kept trying to pull away but she kept pulling you closer:(.
you finished once again, panting so hard and fucked out. she stayed down there for a little admiring your body and hugging your whole body because you were so cute and wholesome<3. until you both heard a rough pound at the door.
"YAH ! STOP FUCKING ON MY BED!" you could hear chaewons muffled scream from out there.
zuha giggled and started to get you all dressed up and fixed you. "lets go now baby? I love you and would spend 365 days with you." you nodded and smiled as you guys ran out of their dorm without even saying bye.
"wah, jeongmal. not even saying bye" - yunjin
"COME BACK HERE Y/L/N Y/N." - eunchae
"these kids .." - sakura
====
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAZUHA NAKAMURA BB ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿค.

So I've been rereading skip beat from the beginning for the first time in uhhhhh almost 10 years and I'm going inSaNE over characterizations and development that I have to write it down
At this point I'm only at the Heel siblings arc so I haven't gotten to the Guam or Saena arcs which are very big for Kyoko and Ren's character development and healing which I haven't reread since those chapters came out
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Nakamura for basing Kyoko and Ren's childhood struggles and trauma on very real things that aren't often, if at all, dealt with in anime/manga and also writing them with utmost care (Not only do the traumas inform their personalities, but their healing arcs aren't just a one and done thing!! It's a very slow process) Like starting with Kyoko, her single mother neglected her so much that she was raised by a family friend. On top of that, nothing Kyoko did was ever good enough for her mother, and both of these things are so apparent in Kyoko's character. She attaches herself to fairytales and magic as an escapism and because she relates to stories like Cinderella. She literally cannot function if she messes up and no one criticizes her. She can't properly acknowledge her own talents and beauty without it being attached somehow to fairytales; she never quite believes shes good enough. Similarly, she didn't want to bother anyone with her troubles, so she always dealt with them alone/in private spaces. Pretty sure she also has lowkey abandonment issues. And this is all parental trauma!! Things she already has before the series starts and she gets so utterly heartbroken she swears off romantic love entirely so she can never get hurt the same way again.
(I don't think I'll ever get over how Kyoko told all this to Kuu and he was literally like I'm adopting you. Your mine now. Sorry I don't make the rules ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ And Kuu going home to his wife like hey we got a new kid ๐Ÿ˜‚ Like Kyoko freezing up when she made mistakes and then Kuu showing her love instead of reprimanding her makes me go ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ’–โœจ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’ Kyoko getting all fluffy from head pats๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน But on the downside she literally can't bring herself to call him dad unless she's in acting mode sjdfhsf)
When I really consider it, I wonder if Kyoko really loved Sho as a person or like.... the idea of him. Like he was just a convenient guy via proximity bc Kyoko needed someone to be her "prince". We haven't been shown exactly why she fell in love, but it would explain why she stuck with dedicating herself to him despite his terrible personality and knowing he never saw her the same way. It's portrayed like the concept of hatsukoi in anime where its โœจpureโœจand innocentโœจIt seems very idealistic. Whereas Kyoko's love for Ren is more mature. She sees every aspect of Ren and doesn't sugarcoat it, she sees him as he is (she does him up on a pedestal but partially bc she admires him but also as an extreme measure to protect her heart and hide her feelings imo)
And REN. trauma to the max. He had to deal with the hardships of making a name for himself when his parents are already famous, extreme racism from being biracial, his friend/mentor dying from an accident he unintentionally caused???? Like boy hates himself so much he's literally disassociating 24/7 he needs a fucking therapist. I get how being Ren has helped him in some capacity but he needs a professional asap. Though deep diving into this is so interesting because Ren/Kuon compartmentalized his issues and the parts that he hates about himself so much he created its own persona ("Dark Kuon"), to the point he's rarely ever just himself. And he buried it so deep that as soon as he cracked the lid open, those emotions just spilled out. He can't even allow himself to be happy, and when he does feel truly happy, his automatic response is acting nonchalant,,,,,,,,,,,, he didn't even realize he was doing it at first ๐Ÿ˜ข
Also the symbolism with Ren's watch makes me go a little feral. I don't remember if it's originally his or Rick's but it obviously stopped when the latter died and Ren keeps it as a reminder of what happened and why he went to Japan. It's a weird item since it grounds him but also represents his heavy trauma, and I think having those two things in one kinda showcases Ren's unhealthy coping mechanisms (like grounding himself to something traumatic isn't... great...). But that scene where he realizes he took it off and he has a moment of whether it to keep it on as Cain Heel or not??? *clenches fist* it was so good. (To recap it, he had his watch so he wouldn't lose himself in the role of BJ and then forgot it in the bathroom after an unexpected trauma response) Ren narrates his thoughts as choosing between Rick or Kyoko but interpreting this, he's choosing whether to keep himself stuck in his past trauma or move forward and let himself be happy AKA stick with unhealthy coping mechanisms vs try something healthy and rely on people he trusts. Kyoko essentially becomes someone Ren grounds himself to ๐Ÿฅบ He still needs therapy though lmao. He's so mentally unstable in this arc,,,
As I'm writing this I'm seeing a parallel between Kyoko and Ren and how they both had an experience that completely and utterly broke them, and it was this that pushed them onto their current paths in showbiz. And they likely would never have met each other again if those things never happened (they had to lose themselves to find each other?? ๐Ÿ˜ญ). It's so funny to me that Ren is all like ThEiR fAtEs ArE iNtErTwInEd with Kyoko and Sho when you have to consider the fact that him and Kyoko meeting again was like. a chance in a billion. It was fate ๐Ÿ˜‚
KyoRen is such a poetic ship to me. The fact that they're different people when they meet and don't recognize the other. How Ren starts falling in love AS SOON AS HE REALIZES KYOKO IS THE SAME GIRL HE MET (Ren being gray/demiromantic.... more at 5). Kyoko lowkey starting to crush on Ren when she witnesses a bit of his real personality. These two things happening around the same time??????? And Ren being SO afraid of being Kuon, his true self, because of his bad qualities, but Kyoko pulling out the good qualities without him fully realizing it?? (I'm 100% referring to Kuon being a mischievous little shit and I live for how he teases Kyoko) tbh they treat each other differently from other people without even realizing it lol. And Kyoko being surrounded by toxic and possessive men pursuing her, and Ren being anything BUT. Like my man is a gigantic green flag. He recognizes that he can't seriously pursue Kyoko bc she's a minor and he really tries his best to only be a friend and mentor in her life and keeping her trust and never crossing her boundaries despite the stereotypes of men being "unable to control themselves." Y'all take point this should be the standard at minimumโ˜๏ธ
I have to talk about Sho bc this boy is so fucking toxic but he makes such a fascinating character. As much as I hate how Kyoko got heartbroken in the way she did, I think it was necessary so that she could leave Sho's sorry ass and cut him out of her life. Seriously,,,, he took advantage of her and used her as a servant. she literally dropped out of school, moved to a different city, and took on two jobs for the sole purpose of helping his career and then he threw her away like a used rag (JUST THROW THE WHOLE MAN AWAY). And then he has the audacity to fall in love with her smh. Anyway the fascinating part about him to analyze is how he's so possessive of Kyoko. Like she was a mere fly in his life, but she was always his. Until she wasn't. And I think those twisted thoughts kinda morphed into feelings for Kyoko. Ig in a way he still cares about her, but it could never hide how toxic he is. Anyone who's like I don't care how this person thinks of me as long as I take up the biggest space in their heart is egotistical and narcissistic. BUT he and Kyoko bickering like siblings will always be funny. Like epitome of two people who've lived with each other for way too long so they know how the other ticks and also get on each other's nerves ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚Sho does makes a good foil for Ren though. Like he's basically everything Ren is not: immature, temperamental, possessive, vain, the list goes on. His only redeeming qualities as a character is providing good drama and humor and being an example of what Ren isn't.
Skip Beat is really a story about healing and learning to love yourself and letting others love you and Nakamura is such a good story teller ๐Ÿฅบ

potions troubles
ominis gaunt x reader
sypnosis- when making a wiggenweld potion with your potions partner, ominis, goes extremely wrong, and leads to confessions. lowercase intended, slight angst?, mc slander, tension towards the end.
wc- 627
Tumblr media
a/n: send in requests 4 ominis or harry potter characters im so bored
โ€œwell, i must say our potion is utter rubbish.โ€
you scoff, โ€œour? ominis, me and the textbook were both advising you the whole time that wormwood was not needed for this potion, and that it would turn out just how it is. brown and boiling.โ€
you get no response other than a grimace and a chuckle from sebastianโ€™s station, conveniently placed next to yours. looking over to where he was, you saw him and the new fifth year and their potion-one that looked exactly how it should. groaning and looking over to the complaining ominis who seems to believe he should've just bought the potion from j. pippins, an idea you quickly shut down.
โ€œthat would be a bigger mess than we already have, you dunderhe-โ€ you were quickly cut of by yourself gasping and the pot in front of you both violently shaking. you quickly brought the cauldron off of the heat and let it cool until it stopped shaking. panicked, you look at the clock to see that there are only 30 minutes left of class and professor sharp is coming over to your station. standing taller and leaning close to ominis to reach his ear when you whispered to him, you were desperate for any kind of help.
โ€œprofessor sharp is coming, ominis.โ€ backing away from him now, you could see a lingering tint of rose on his cheeks. this was a weird thought to have, it's ominis gaunt you're talking about, and you're sure he likes the new fifth year. but why did he still look flushed?
โ€œahem,โ€ bracing yourself for lost house points, you turn around to face professor sharp, who continues, โ€œmay i ask you why your wiggenweld potion is burnt, brown, and almost just exploded?โ€ right. you boiled the "attempt" at a wiggenweld potion, that's why ominis was red. not because he liked you, or anything of the sort-
"right, y/n?" you turned to look at ominis, realizing you zoned out while he was talking. "i'm sorry?"
"i was telling professor sharp that our burner malfunctioned and turned to a higher setting," ominis turned to him now with a charming smile, "which i'm sure my family can compensate for, professor." you quickly thanked ominis on your way out, knowing without him sweet talking sharp you would've lost house points for that screw up.
Tumblr media
you were now on your way to dinner, laughing and making jokes with ominis on the way. your laughter quickly ended when you saw that sebastians new friend was sitting across from him, in your spot. you scowled and turned around to go back to your common room before ominis grabbed your hand.
"where are you going?" you truly didn't want to have to explain to him why you wanted to leave. it's petty to be so worried about one spot at a table, but it was your spot next to ominis, and now they would be sitting together. amazing, considering he clearly already liked them.
"the new fifth year is in my spot, and i wouldn't want to bother you two." you saw a confused look spread across his face, the one you couldn't help but admire any time you got the chance. "i mean, maybe you can even score a date."
"okay, what are you talking about? do you think i like them?" now it was your turn to look confused, "you don't?"
"no, y/n. i thought i had made it pretty obvious who i had feelings for." he stepped closer to you now, moving his hand up towards your neck. "i guess i should've made myself clear." he was now whispering into your ear, and before you knew it he was walking off with a smug look.
"hey, you can't just leave after that!"

hey so i was wondering if you could do like an angsty fic about john bs sister aka the reader dsting rafe, and then one day she gets into a fight with rafe and he wonโ€™t let her leave his house, like keeps her in his room or something. and john b finds out and him and jj help get her out and rafe finds out and is pissed sorry if this is a lot!
pairing. platonic!jj maybank, platonic!brother!john b routledge x fem!reader x rafe cameron requested? yes no
warnings. mentions of getting high/drink, an arugement, description of a fight but pretty much angst to fluff!
summary. when rafe gets high, he gets paranoid about y/n's friendship with barry's friend and traps you in his room. john b and jj come to the rescue.
โžœ missing out on updates? โช navigation. masterlist. taglist. โซ
Tumblr media
You had no idea how you ended up in this mess with Rafe. It started off with a smoke with his friends at the beach and now, it's escalated to Rafe and you arguing in his room.
You were usually the responsible one, always making sure everything is in order and everyone's fine, so how did you end up in this mess? John B was going to kill you when he finds out.
"Rafe, it was nothing, seriously!" You were angry at that point, the entire drive to his house had been him just screaming at you incoherently about cheating?
Rafe was shaking at that point, his eyes were red and you could tell he wasn't sober. That's something you will never learn to love about Rafe; his awful addiction to anything and everything unhealthy.
"I-I saw you Y/N!" He trembled angrily as he pointed an accusatory finger in your face. "With Barry's tall friend, I saw you! You and him obviously knew each oth-"
"From Chemistry, Rafe! We had Honors Chemistry sophomore year, I told you!" You explained but Rafe was just shaking his head.
"I thought you loved me."
You shook your head as you walked towards him, tears brimming in your eyes. "I do."
"Then why did you cheat?" His voice broke. That's when you realized that Rafe wasn't acting; he truly felt like you had cheated.
"I didn't Rafe, you did too many lines and now you're acting all crazy." You tried to explain and Rafe had turned almost immediately when he heard you say the word "crazy."
"Oh, I'm crazy?! Really?" He screamed. You jumped at the sudden yelling and you sat back in the chair as tears started falling from your eyes. He walked away towards the door.
"I'm not letting you out until you apologize." He walked out and closed the door, locking it. You thought he was joking until you had gotten up and tried to open the door.
"Rafe!" You screamed. "Let me out, Rafe! Seriously, this isn't funny! Come on, Rafe!"
After about 10 minutes of being in that room, you were tired. You didn't know how this would end. No one was home; not even Wheezie, she was at a sleepover so you were stuck until Rafe's manic had calmed down. You wanted to call someone but you left your purse in Rafe's car.
You thought you were done for until you heard a van pull up. You looked outside to see the Twinkie and you let out a breath of relief - John B was going to help you get out. Until you realized that Rafe was still home and John B was most likely very angry.
"Shit," you mumbled to yourself.
You saw JJ and John B exit the car and you didn't know how to prevent all of them from getting hurt; you would usually just make sure that all of them weren't near each other or draw the other one away, but how could you do that if you were locked in a room.
You then heard some banging at the door. You prayed to every higher power you knew to make sure all three of them don't get too seriously hurt. You didn't want to spend the rest of this godforsaken night in the ER.
You couldn't really make out anything they were saying downstairs but they were shouting. Then you heard one loud crash and some running upstairs.
You heard the door unlock and your heart jumped. The door revealed JJ and a very angry John B.
"What the hell, Y/N!" John B shouted as he sighed disappointedly. "Stay away from Rafe, I said. He's crazy, I said. He's an actual psychopath who will hurt you, I said. And what did you do-"
Before he could continue, you went up to John B and embraced him tightly. You were crying into his shirt; the fact that you weren't completely sober didn't help either. John B was shocked. He'd never seen you cry so hard in your life. You were usually the one to be the rock.
He held you tightly, putting his head on top of yours as JJ watched sympathetically.
"I love him, John B." You managed to choke out. "I swear, it's just when he's high."
JJ shook his head. "Y/N, he's just not a good guy."
You pulled away from John B, wiping your tears. "What'd you guys do?"
"Just gave him a good punch. He's passed out." JJ responded as Joh B nodded. "Let's get out of here before the beast awakens."
John B hit his arm as warning before getting a small, "Too soon, sorry."
John B put his arm around your shoulders comfortingly as you guys walked to the Twinkie. The drive home was pretty quiet but you got some answers.
John B was calling you and you hadn't answered but that wasn't like you at all and he knew something was wrong. He called it 'brother intuition.'
You didn't care what it was, you were just grateful they came and helped you. You were grateful to have such good friends.

EMERGENCY REQUEST
(i put this in when your tumblr was banned so idk if you saw it)
i have a friend who recently took his life. he was very close to me and none of us were expecting it. could you do bf!bakugo comforting f!reader? i wont go into specifics about our friend, but he was 16. :( (im 19, a mentor of his.)
Tumblr media
A/N: hiya, dear Anonnie. I did receive your request earlier, but I couldn't fulfill it immediately due to the ban. I want to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. I'm truly sorry to hear about your friend. Losing someone in such a way can be incredibly challenging and painful. It's important to allow yourself the time to grieve and process your emotions. Remember that it's okay to feel a wide range of emotions, from shock and anger to sadness and confusion. Please know that I'm here for you, and I'm willing to listen or offer support in any way you need
EMERGENCY REQS MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
The news had hit like a thunderbolt, leaving Katsuki Bakugo and his girlfriend in a state of shock. Their close friend had taken his own life, leaving behind a gaping void in their lives. Katsuki knew he had to be there for her, to offer solace in the face of the devastating storm of emotions that had engulfed her.
Katsuki watched as his girlfriend sat on the edge of their bed, her tears falling freely. Her sobs echoed through the room, a painful reminder of the anguish she was experiencing. Slowly, he approached her, his heart aching at the sight of her pain.
He reached out to touch her shoulder, but she flinched away. Her sorrow and anger were like a wall, blocking out any attempts at comfort. "Leave me alone, Kats!"
Katsuki's temper flared, and he briefly turned away, his own emotions a tumultuous mix of anger, frustration, and sadness. But then he paused, understanding that his anger wouldn't help. He knew this wasn't about him. It was about her inner pain and the unbearable loss she was grappling with, just as he was. He took a deep breath, steeling himself, and turned back to her. "Look, I get it," Katsuki began, his voice softer, more tender. "I know you're hurting, and you have every right to be angry and upset. But I'm here, and I'm not leaving you alone in this mess, princess."
His words seemed to cut through the haze of her pain, and she glanced up at him, her eyes red-rimmed and puffy. "I don't know what to do, Katsuki," she whispered, her voice trembling. "I can't stop the pain, and I can't make sense of any of this."
Katsuki took her hand, his touch gentle but firm. "You don't have to do this alone," he said. "We'll figure it out together. Let me in, and let me help you."
She nodded, and slowly, hesitantly, she allowed him to pull her into his arms after he took seat by her side. Katsuki held her tightly, his warmth and strength a balm for her raw emotions. They sat there in silence for a while, the only sound being her occasional sniffles and his steady heartbeat.
"Get it all out," he encouraged. "Scream if you need to."
As her cries and screams echoed through the room, she finally found the words to express the turmoil within her. "I feel lost, Katsuki," she choked out between sobs. "I feel angry, and I feel guilty. I don't understand why he did this, and it's tearing me apart. Why didn't he talk to me? Why couldn't I help him?!"
Katsuki listened, his heart breaking for her. He held her even tighter, allowing her to let it all out. "You did nothing wrong," he said. "You couldn't have known. It's not your fault, none of this is."
Her screams turned into desperate cries, and she clung to Katsuki as if he were her lifeline. "It hurts so much!!!"
Katsuki let a single tear stream down his cheek, his voice deep and heavy with emotion. "I feel it too," he admitted, his voice trembling. "I feel responsible for not doing enough, for not seeing it coming. But dammit, it won't change a goddamn thing, princess. I want you to know something. Time will help you heal. The wound may never fully close, but it'll scab over, and it'll hurt a little less with each passing day. And no one is ever truly gone as long as we keep them in our hearts and minds."
Bakugo held her at arm's length, locking his gaze with hers. "Our friend will always be a part of us, a part of our memories, and in the way we live our lives. We'll keep him alive in our hearts, and that way, he'll never truly be gone."
Tears welled up in her eyes once more, but this time, they were not tears of despair. They were tears of acceptance, of understanding, and of the beginning of the healing process.
Katsuki wiped them away gently. "I promise, we'll get through this together." Katsuki kissed her forehead, his lips warm and reassuring. "You don't have to do it alone. I'm right here, with you, every step of the way."
As the night wore on, Katsuki continued to hold her, whispering words of comfort and reassurance. He was her rock in the storm, unwavering and unyielding, providing the support she so desperately needed. And as the hours passed, she finally cried herself to sleep, cradled in his secure embrace.
In the midst of their shared grief, Katsuki had found a way to offer her the comfort she needed, understanding that her emotions were a turbulent sea that he couldn't control but was determined to navigate with her. Together, they would find their way through the darkness, one step at a time.

WINNER;
Tumblr media
Sukuna x Reader
HIS laugh stung my ears. Bitter and burning hot, blazing with an egoistic spike of victory. He had won. I knew he'd won. Worst of all, he knew he'd won. His footsteps slow and stern came louder towards me. I lay, trying to catch my breath. I wasn't sure if it was the air I was gasping for or was it the ache of defeat I was trying to exhale.
"Tsk, tsk," His voice cracked the heavy air. "Is that all, little one?" He bent down, his eyes drunken with a confident gleam grazed into mine. "Come on, try harder," Everything in me screamed to kick him right where he stood, but not a single muscle was on board with my nerves anymore. Tired, I scrunched my eyelids.
A series of noises made me open my eyes. I looked to my side. His pink hair was thrown in a mess, and the sharp markings of his face gleamed in sweat. I waited for the significance of him being on the concrete next to me. "Sukuna?" I called through his warmth that now pooled to my left. He hadn't left like he usually did after he would defeat me-- pitifully, to add. This was new. Interesting.
I raised a questioning eyebrow when all I got in response was a sigh. "You really did mess me up this time, huh," His chest raised and fell in fast breaths. I turned my body sideways, which caused me to see stars.
"You're joking?" A smile crept onto my face as I spoke the words through hitched breathing. Sukuna turned his face towards me. His nose is centimeters away from mine. His breathing slowed.
He halted, suddenly sitting up. "Yep, you're right, I was joking," He said. He pushed back his hair. "Would take" He paused and winked back at me, "A lot more than that, to mess me up, little one," He chuckled.
"Ugh, I hate you," I rolled my eyes.
"You do!" He gasped, "How unlucky for me! What have I ever done to suffer such punishment, Your Majesty?" He put a hand to his chest. Click. That flipped the switch. Annoyance took hold of me, rejecting the ache every strand of my muscle projected. I pushed Sukuna onto the cold of the cement. Getting on top of him, I pinned his throat with my arm. That's when the torment of my overworked muscles pulsed through me, and I whinced.
"You never shut up, do you?" My arm shook next to his neck. He vibrated with a laugh.
"Careful there, little one, you don't want to die before our next battle, now do you?" His voice was firm. I did a doubletake as I noticed an undertone of. . . concern.
Before I could investigate further with one swift move, he flipped us over. This was truly my mistake. I had realized too late that there was no way I could fight him off if the situation flipped. Sukuna was now on top of me. Yet not an ounce of his weight was on me. As if I was some delicate glass he'd not want to damage. To truly shatter it once it takes its true shape, I guessed. A true evil, as they say.
I didn't budge to fight. Surely if he wanted to kill me he would have a long time ago. His hands pinned my wrists to both my sides, The only evidence of him being on top of me followed by the warmth he radiated. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry, you won Sukuna," I admitted defeat. Annoyance dripped with every word I spoke.
"Five-hundred and thirty. . . what?"
"Five-hundred and thirty-seventh," I spoke through gritted teeth and stared up at him smirking smugly. Only if I had the energy to punch him then, I would have been happy. By now, I didn't even know why I continued to challenge him. I wanted to win, of course, I did. Though I hadn't established a solid reason as to why. My competitive nature had become a reason enough to defeat the King of Curses.
"Right, right, right," His expression mellowed down. I shifted to get a look at him clearly. He smiled down almost. . . regretfully? Something churned in my stomach and I swallowed.
"What is it?" I asked, sounding more concerned than I would have liked to admit to him. His eyes scanned my face, searching for something, as if he wasn't sure he'd even find it. "Sukuna?" I looked up at him one last time before I was thrown into an explosion of my insides.
His warm lips softly crashed onto mine sending a thousand little punches to my heart. He gave me every chance to push him off. I was sure if I made even a single move he'd stop. So I didn't move anything except my lips next to his. I could hear how my heartbeat felt. His lips moved carefully next to mine, melting my body. I subconsciously pushed myself into his kiss even more.
The kiss was soft, gentle, and sweet. Everything Sukuna wasn't. Nothing I could have expected from him. His hands moved from my wrists until I could feel him lightly graze my waist. His body heat sent shivers down my body. It felt like the first sip of hot cocoa on a chilly day. The first bite of homemade food after a long day at work.
Comfort is what it felt like, from the last person I would have expected to get it from. His hand moved to my cheek as he broke the kiss. I leaned into his touch with a fuzzy mind. "I want you to," He bit lightly along my jaw as my hands made their way subconsciously to his chest. "I want you to win," He completed looking into my eyes.
His expression was stern. Serious. At the same time laced with a pleasantly new softness. His thumb caressed my cheek. "I need you to," His voice was thick with authority. It wasn't an opinion, not a suggestion. Sukuna was ordering me to win.
"You want me to win against you?" I repeated not understanding one aspect of this whole situation. Although I was nobody to complain, I was enjoying it too much to protest against any of it. A fuzzy feeling in my chest pulsed throughout me, begging me to pull Sukuna closer. I was not even trying to put up a defense against it.
He nodded. "Because if you win against me, there's nobody that can hurt you," And that's when realization hit. To Sukuna this was very serious. "And as false it sounds coming out my mouth," He shrugged off "I can't afford you getting hurt,"
To Sukuna this was personal. To him, his loss was his win. This was important. He nodded. "Can you do that for me?" He asked almost in a whisper. I feared his voice would break and fall with how delicately he took my name. "Will you win for me, little one?" I had misunderstood him, big time. Surely I couldn't have been blamed for expecting the King of Curses to be a self-centered prick. Like an ice-water bucket onto my head, Sukuna's compassion towards me had surprised me two-fold.
At this instance of his vulnerability, only one thought raced through my mind. Forgetting and refusing to address every last scream of agony through my muscles, I pulled Sukuna into a kiss, tangling my hand into his hair.
The gentleness of his lips, yet again sent me places only angles had seen before. He softly moaned into the kiss as I tugged on his hair. His voice sent vibrations straight to my brain. His hands gently pulled me closer to him. I would love to stay like this forever.
At that moment I knew I would fall to my knees if that may be the need for him. I didn't know how to feel about that. I felt morally wrong on so many levels. So terrified of myself and the lengths I was ready to go. Yet so right to be here in his arms.
As he pushed up against me, I knew what I had to do.
I had to win.

Don't You Worry jason carver / eddie munson
rated teen + up, established relationship, new parents, implied past abuse, trauma, mild panic attacks, emotional hurt/comfort, light angst
read on archive of our own
Tumblr media
"for munver, maybe a prompt 'learning to be gentle'?" - static-fucking-mess
Tumblr media
Jason was a bad parent.
Eddie would argue otherwise, and he knew that. But Eddie wasn't awake right now. He wasn't here to ward away the thoughts that ate away at the delicately-crafted fail-safes Eddie had helped instill in him like acid.
Simon wailed in his arms as Jason bounced him softly, doing his best to cradle his head in the correct position. The nurse had showed him how a dozen times, because he hadn't been sure he could trust his own memory enough. He left the hospital carrying that insecurity with him regardless.
All the baby books he had read stressed how delicate newborns were. That you had to treat them like the finest China. One wrong move and you could end up a grieving parent.
Anxiety bubbled up his gut and into his chest, the stress twisting his face and tightening his muscles. He shushes the baby softly, trying a different bouncing pattern. "It's okay, angel. I- I got you.."
Eddie was so much better at calming the baby than Jason was. The metalhead would just bundle their son into his tatted arms and sing a soft rendition of some Black Sabbath song he'd been learning on guitar until the cries quieted.
Jason had called it magic. Eddie had laughed.
Eddie was better at everything, it seemed. It had intimidated Jason in the beginning of their relationship. He could absolutely shred a song on his guitar, he was a brilliant storyteller, and he was a pretty amazing father. This man was the full package if Jason had ever seen one.
All Jason was really good at was high school basketball, and that wasn't getting him anywhere. It wasn't like he was going to go pro. He wasn't even going to college.
Eddie always told him that was okay. That college wasn't for everyone. That he made enough to support them on one income and all Jason had to do was 'sit at home and be pretty as always.'
He truly didn't deserve that man. Not when he was this spectacularly awful at simple tasks.
No matter what he seemed to do tonight, it only served to make Simon cry more. This tiny human being was relying on him to be a source of comfort, and he couldn't even provide that.
Jason was always acutely aware that he used to be this small once. He had been this small and this delicate, and his parents still couldn't keep themselves from hurting him. How was he supposed to be sure he wouldn't do the same?
Burning tears formed on Jason's lash line, his throat growing impossibly tighter. His face crumbled, a few wet drops forming on Simon's swaddle. He felt tight all over, fingers starting to shake slightly around his child.
"I'm sorry," Jason croaked quietly to the boy who was far too young to understand the weight of his words. "I'm trying."
"I know you are." A voice mumbled from behind him, strong arms wrapping around his body and bracketing his own.
Eddie nosed his shoulder, pressing a gentle kiss there. "He won't go down?"
Jason shook his head, hiccupping through the sobs escaping his throat. "I-I tried the bouncing a-and the- the-"
Eddie shushed him, this time kissing the shell of his ear. "He's crying because he knows you're stressed. It's making him stressed."
"Please take him." Jason felt like no matter what he did, he was just making it worse. Like destruction and unrest were embedded in the print of his hands, destined to ruin everything he dared to touch.
"No." Was all Eddie said in response, gentle but firm.
"Eddie, please, I can't-"
But Eddie was no longer listening, instead rubbing smooth patterns into the back of his hands. He began to sway them back and forth, leaving more kisses across the expanse of his neck and ear. "Just breathe... In for four, hold for four, out for six... Like we talked about..."
It takes some more coaching, but Jason finally began following along with Eddie's demonstrations. Until the breathing came naturally and he barely needed to wait for Eddie's prompting.
Before he can even realize it, Simon's sobs quieted, happily asleep in their arms.
If Jason wasn't so emotionally spent, he would've celebrated. Eddie gave them both a gentle squeeze. "C'mon, let's put him down."
All Jason can do is nod, slipping out of Eddie's hold and gently lowering Simon back into his crib. He turned back to Eddie, who now wore a gentle smile. There were deep bags under his eyes, clearly still tired. It made guilt pool in Jason's gut again.
Eddie reached out and takes Jason's hand, guiding him out of the nursery. But, instead of taking a left towards their bedroom, he goes right. Jason's brows furrowed as he's led to the living room. Eddie placed him on the couch, sitting him on the coffee table so they were at eye level.
"You said you would wake me up if that ever happened again, baby." Eddie's tone is anything but chastising, concerned eyes roaming his husband's face.
Jason hung his head down, lacing his fingers together between his legs. "You were exhausted-"
"So are you."
Fingers capture Jason's chin, forcing his face back up towards Eddie. "Talk to me." His voice was pleading, searching Jason's eyes for any indication of what might be going on behind them.
Jason was too weak to fight it, face twisting with more tears as his eyes fall closed. "I'm no good, Eds. I'm gonna fuck him up, I know I'm gonna-"
"Hey, no-" Eddie cut him off, vigorously shaking his head. "Jace, don't say that. We talked about this."
"I can't even hold him without tensing up. You saw him in there, he hates me." Jason made a vague gesture in the direction of the nursery before dropping his arm.
"He does not hate you, baby. He's not even two weeks old yet-"
"He cries every time I try and hold him."
"Because you're always so anxious, you never relax around him-"
"Eddie."
Eddie pursed his lips to stop himself, a thoughtful expression on his face. He gave a small nod, encouraging Jason to finish his point without further interruption.
Jason sighed, shoulder's slumping. "I can't seem to do anytime right with him, Eddie. I'm failing him at every turn. I'm scared he's gonna grow up and resent me the way I do my dad. I thought I was ready for this, I did. But... fuck." He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees and threading his fingers through his own hair.
Eddie was quiet for an almost worrying amount of time. Jason started to wonder if Eddie was mad at him. He couldn't imagine that being the case, Eddie never having been the type to be quick to anger over things like this. But that didn't stop Jason's stomach from rolling over at the thought coupled with the silence.
However, Eddie finally broke the tension by cupping Jason's face. He doesn't even have to guide his face upwards this time, Jason instinctively easing into the warm touch of his love.
Brown eyes met misty blue, the pad of the metalhead's thumb brushing Jason's cheekbones tenderly.
"I'm scared, too." Eddie said simply, almost chuckling at the way Jason's face screws in confusion and borderline offense. "I'm serious."
"Okay, but-" Jason wobbled his head in some vague gesture of bewilderment. "How come you're..." His words trailed off, eyes searching.
"Not completely losing it?" Eddie supplied, no hint of condescension or judgment. Jason can only nod.
A puff of breath escaped Eddie's lips as he looks up at the ceiling, as if the answer were somewhere in popcorn pattern. After a long pause, he met Jason's eyes, a sudden fondness in his gaze. "Because of you?"
Before Jason could even question his words, Eddie continued. "When we first decided that we... wanted this... I was waking up in cold sweats. Kept having nightmares that I dropped our kid, or I hit them, or that I was some other god awful excuse of a parent."
Jason felt his stomach drop. He hadn't had the slightest idea any of that was happening. He thought Eddie took everything better than he did during this entire process. He almost asked Eddie why they never talked about it, but that would've made him a hypocrite.
Eddie smiled then, brushing some hair behind Jason's ear. He'd been growing it out on Eddie's suggestion, shaggy blonde hair now haloing his head. Eddie called Jason his angel.
"But then I saw you. This... badass force of nature. Someone who looked his own family lineage in the eyes and said definitively that you wanted to be different. You threw yourself into every parenting book and online course and YouTube.. whatever-the-fuck." He chuckled, sounding almost disbelieved. "Nobody has this stuff figured out from the get-go. No one wants to admit it, but every first time parent is terrified. It's completely natural, even for people who haven't been hurt the way you have. But you didn't let that stop you from putting your all into this. All because you wanted nothing more than to give this kid the best possible life he could ever have. The life neither of us ever got to have."
Jason started tearing up again, but Eddie was quick to start wiping them away as soon as they fell, smile never wavering. "And I thought... 'fuck, if Jason Alexander Munson of all people can be brave about this, then I can be too.'"
As another soft sob left Jason's lips, Eddie pulls him into a tight hug. "You are the most metal person I've ever known. If anyone can get this parenting shit on lock, it's you."
It took Jason another few minutes to calm down, face puffy and nose clogged. But he felt a lot less heavy, so at least that was something.
"Thank you..."
"You always thank me for all the tiniest things."
"Yeah, but this isn't tiny."
Eddie hummed, seemingly unable to argue against that. He pressed a kiss to Jason's forehead before they separated. "Are you ready to go back to bed now?"
Jason thought for a moment before shaking his head. "You go ahead. I just need some time to myself."
Eddie seemed reluctant, but ultimately conceded. "Just... don't stay up too late, okay?" Jason smiled then, small but prominent on his face even in the moonlit room. "I won't, I promise."
Satisfied with that answer, leaning forward to peck Jason's lips before getting up.
Jason wasn't sure how long he sat there in actuality. If you said anywhere between five minutes and two hours, he would've believed you.
His thoughts cycled through many different things. Memories of his parents, memories of his earlier years with Eddie, memories of their wedding day-
But slowly, through the quiet chaos, a resolve started to take hold in Jason's chest. One moment, he was on the couch. The next, he was padding down the hallway in the direction of the nursery.
He stands over his sleeping son, just watching him for a while. The rise and fall of his little chest through the dinosaur-print swaddle Dustin had gifted them at the shower. The way his little nostrils periodically flared with his breaths.
Jason hesitated, wiping his clammy palms on his pajama pants as he tried to hype himself up.
If anyone can get this parenting shit on lock, it's you.
With the delicacy of disarming a live bomb, Jason reached into the crib, gently picking up Simon and maneuvering him into his arms. The infant startled slightly, which almost made Jason lock up all over again.
But Eddie's words rang in his head, over and over like a broken record. I got this.
Keeping his body as relaxed as possible, he started to sway in a pattern he'd seen Eddie do a lot. After a lot of internal debate, he starts to hum Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles. It wasn't Ozzy, by any means, but he hoped it was soothed Simon all the same.
Gradually, Simon's soft fussing dissipated, relaxing back into peaceful sleep while still in Jason's arms.
A wave of intense emotions hit Jason like a tidal wave, unsure if he should laugh or cry. But he does neither, biting his tongue as he sat down in the rocking chair as carefully as he could manage.
He knew he needed to sleep soon, and he really wouldn't stay up long. But with the moon illuminating the nursery, his son in his arms, he found it hard to find any reason to favor sleep over this.
Jason wasn't in a rush.

When he first saw you, he was FLABBERGASTED
Why the hell are you so tall??
As if he isn't walking Mount Fuji over here
Bffr
But he never made fun of you
He actually admired you
Why?
You were rocking the height
And slowly, he started falling for you, and your just as big personality
That's how you ended up dating Ryuguji
And to be frank, you couldn't be happier
You knew the kind of environment he was raised in, and the fact he grew to be such a smart and responsible teenager was one of the things you admired most about him
And you always reminded him of that
Which only deepend his love for you
<3
He also likes to slap your ass
BABAHAHAH
It wouldn't be me if I didn't ruin a sweet moment ๐Ÿซถ
He's also very VERY protective of you
As if you aren't a walking mountain as it is
But there still are assholes who could try to hurt you, and you both knew it
And Ryuguji will be damned if he let anything happen to you
If someone, somehow, ended up hurting you, don't worry
Toman will be at their doorstep
Escorting the people who tried to hurt you to the ER
Like goddamn y/n
All jokes aside, the last thing Ken would be looking at are your looks. You could be half his height or half over it, and he'll still love you regardless. <3
The first time you visited the brothel, the girls were amazed
Like
Beauty and height all in one?

To this day he's still trying to calculate how much milk you drank as a child to grow this much
And you?
You are too

This ain't jack and the beanstalk y/n
The first time you met Yuzuha she was shook
She knew you were tall but not THIS tall
She loves you regardless
Also babies you both
Why?
Because you're her babies
Her 6'0+ babies
Hakkai wouldn't be as protective as Draken, but will be possessive
Not the yandere psychopath kind of possessive but the kind that would cuddle up to you if you're talking to his sister on the couch
Would also keep a close eye when you're around his brother even though Taiju wouldn't harm you
Also forget about fighting
You might be double the height of his enemies, but you're staying double the distance away from them
Just stay away from fights
Boy only wants to keep his girl safe and sound y/n. Don't be an asshole
Nonetheless, Hakkai will make sure you feel at ease with your appearance no matter what because in his eyes, you were the most gorgeous person he's laid eyes on
And he makes sure you know it

BAHAHAHAHAHH โ€“ Mikey and Smiley
๐Ÿ’€ โ€“ Mikey and Smiley 2 minutes later
Keisuke does not CARE about height
He'll treat you the same way as if you were half his own
Does not give a fuck if you're tall, he fell in love with you and that's final
Nobody messing with you from now on
You've had bullies? Wanna visit their graves?
A car almost hit you even though you're taller than siren head? Wanna see him light it on fire?
Baji solos your favorites
Wait Baji is your favorite?
Baji solos himself
LMFAO
Bonus points if you like cats
Because who doesn't like to play with cute little pussies?
Especially the big ones
Wanna know Baji's favorite big pussy type?
Black tigers
UGH I LOVE THEM
What did you think I was talking about huh?
HUH?
You nasty
Speaking of cats, Baji loves it when they climb on you
You'd be minding your own business, waiting for Kaisuke to get ready so you could finally go out when you felt something tug on your pants
When you looked down, you saw one cute little black kitten climbing up your pants
Swear to God your heart melted
You started baby-ing the cat, encouraging it while making sure it doesn't fall
Keisuke entered the room, wondering who the fuck you were talking to and when he saw this scenario unfolding before his eyes he deadass dropped to his knees in front of you, encouraging the kitty as well
You were both ecstatic when it managed to reach up to your top, and Baji took a quick family picture, which is now his wallpaper and would beat anyone who made fun of it <3
Jokes aside, Keisuke adores you and will never let anyone or anything make you feel any less
You're perfect inside out in his eyes, and that's more than enough
Just accept the love because there isn't any other way out of this
You're loved

Salem, Massachusetts
March 21, 2023
An hour had passed since Lee had left you in the boathouse after his regretful blowup. As he sat in his lake house bedroom, staring blankly out the window at the gray sky morning, he could hear the muffled voices of you, Britt and Jason downstairs and then all went quiet, except for the creaking of his door opening.
He closed his eyes and lowered his head in sadness when he felt you softly sit down on the opposite side of the bed. As your movement ceased and you began to speak, a subtle breeze laced with the biting scent of your intoxicating vampire perfume flowed straight to Lee's nose, causing his heart to palpitate as he eagerly inhaled it.
"Jason and Britt are gone, just as you wanted. I think I should go too as soon as the laundry finishes."
Lee turned his head to the side and could see that you were sitting with your back to him.
"I'm sorry about your brother."
Tumblr media
"What for? You were right Lee. He and Britt shouldn't be here. It was my stupid idea to bring him here to help Britt."
"It was both of our ideas Jo and it was for the best. Now he can take care of the woman he loves and leave us out of it. I don't want any part of this shit anymore Jo."
"I can agree with you there. Neither do I."
Your weary tone spoke a frightening volume to Lee.
"Does that include me...Jo?"
Your soft voice became hesitant and shaky as you still wouldn't turn to face him.
"I...I don't know what to do anymore Lee. All these secrets are like an incurable cancer and every time I believe it's in remission because you tell me it is, the secrets metastasize and honestly, I don't know if that is even the worst part anymore because we both just accused each other of killing Elizabeth."
"Yep." Lee softly and sorrowfully agreed as he nodded, then turned to face your backside.
"The only difference is, I stood by you and tried to protect you over it by disposing of the blatant evidence I found in my car, but you...you allowed Luke to put doubts in your mind with his circumstantial bullshit and you turned on me. You're the only one who's ever truly known the real me and yet you actually believed I was capable of doing something so repulsive, that I am some monster."
Tumblr media
You finally turned to face him with an anxious tone.
"Lee...I am sorry. I know in my heart you didn't hurt Liz and yes, I stupidly let Luke twist my thoughts. God, it's just that lately, your behavior has been so erratic and even violent and you won't tell me why!"
"What..so I'm not allowed to be human and have emotions that happen to include anger?? Everything that has been going on is why Jo and we all react differently to stress, you know that. The day you tried to justifiably attack Landy's sister, THAT was violent but I didn't believe that could make you a murderer. Look at the violent shit Luke has done. He deserved that vase to the head. And Carpenter deserved my fist in his face and Gordon deserved his ass handed to him."
"I get all of that. I do. Can't you put yourself in my shoes just for a minute about Liz though? You cut her seatbelt to mess with her and kept that from me and when you had finally learned the truth that she was responsible for Jacob's death, you and my brother plotted right in front of me about taking her out and framing Ethan and you refused to help her when she was brought to the ER. And now I find out you were off living some double life with Luke that involved blowing up terrorists and god knows what else. What was I supposed to believe?"
"Me Jo. You were supposed to believe me. You just said you believe in your heart that I didn't do it, so which is it Jo? Are you with me or are you against me because it's feeling a lot like you're still against me and if that's the case, then why are you even here?? Jesus Jo...what I did for you, you haven't even said a word about that. Ethan's clearly been watching us. He snuck in here before he killed Liz and took my car, my knife and your clothes, then after he took care of her, he planted everything, all in hopes of framing you because we both know he wants you away from me and yes Jo, at first I believed you had done it, but ONLY due to having some blackout break in reality from your pills and all that wine."
"Something still don't seem right Lee. Why didn't he just kill me then? Wouldn't that have been the easiest and fastest way to get me out of your life and.."
"Jo, stop, god, don't say this shit. Just the thought of him being in this house and anywhere near you......"
Lee paused and rubbed his palms over his face, releasing a stressed sigh, then continued.
"Besides the most important reason, that being that he knew I would come and kill him without hesitation...he still needed to cover his ass in her death because he knew he would be a number one suspect. We weren't supposed to find it Jo. I'm willing to bet Ethan was going to drop an anonymous tip to the police about the evidence and I honestly thought that was why Luke was here, so now, I'm also feeling something isn't right because no one has showed up. Regardless Jo, I risked everything for you, my career, my freedom, because that would all be gone if it were found out I destroyed all the evidence and I DID it to make it all go away for you and like some stupid school boy, I actually thought you'd be impressed."

"What I am is scared Lee. I understand why you did what you did and I DO appreciate it, I promise you, but you have still got to get rid of that knife. He killed her with it and it can be matched up to her wounds."
"I'll take care of it. It will never be found."
"And then what Lee? We just go on with our lives as if nothing ever happened? I mean, first of all, Luke is never going to give up. It's his job now and...."
Lee sarcastically snickered. "It's just his way to feel like he's a good person."
"God Lee, I just don't get it. When he came back for Landy, you and he seemed like really great friends, but with what I just overheard between you and my brother, how is that if Luke supposably set you up as you put it?"
Lee shook his head in frustration. "There's no supposably about it Jo. He did what he did and we were both just trying to move on from it, from that life. I just wanted to forget it and then he just shows back up here as if nothing ever happened and his presence brings back all those bad memories and all those feelings of having to be on guard every second. None of that life was ever supposed to involve you. I didn't hide it from you to be sneaky or deceitful. I'm not that person anymore and I don't want to be, but he brings it out of me and not only that, but I'm not oblivious to his desire of you either. I just want him to go back to where he came from and stay there, in the past. You and I were finally getting it right and he swoops in and fucks our forever all up and now here we are, yet once again. And I know Jo, I know that everything happening is not all because of him. I know it's me too and god, I am trying so hard to be the man you want me to be and that you deserve after all you have been through in the past, but all I have done is drag you through hell and let you down over and over again. You're this angel of light and I'm nothing but a devil of darkness."
Lee's voice had become choked up and if there was one thing that tugged at your heart strings, it was seeing him cry.
"Please don't speak about yourself that way." you compassionately said as you scooted over to him and rubbed his back.
Tumblr media
"You're not evil baby. You just feel cornered and like no one is on your side and I cannot apologize enough for ever thinking you could have hurt Liz. All that murder plot talk with Jason was nothing but anger. Your fears had just been validated that she was responsible for Jacob's death and as far as not wanting to help her at the hospital is quite understandable. I overreacted about all that Lee. I know in my heart what a compassionate and kind person you are. It's one of the many reasons I fell for you, so fast and so damn hard. And as far as myself, I am certainly no angel. I have a dark side. You've seen it, especially around Megan. She brings something out of me just like Luke does to you. I don't want to be that person either so I get it. Now you though, you had every reason to believe I could have done it and what you did to protect me, the sacrifices you were willing to make, means everything to me. That is FAR from letting me down. I'm so sorry for how I reacted. So you know, I...I would have done the same for you...without hesitation."
You slid your hand down his bare arm and laced your fingers into his. Lee softly sighed and tried to smile as he then placed his other hand over the union.
Tumblr media
"I look at you Jo and I...I just love you and it terrifies me. It terrifies me what I would do for you. I did not wait for you. I didn't even know you were coming. When you walked into my life, I didn't know it was you because I didn't know there WAS a you. You were never a list, a goal, an expectation, a dream, ok maybe you were a dream. You were a surprise, a gift, an adventure, a new beginning to a story I thought I would never have and I am scared to death of losing you and that you won't love me anymore if you know all of the things I've done. I'm scared of a world without you."
"You know I feel the same way about you Lee. It's patience and trust that I am running out of, not love. But...is love enough? Even for us? You keep lying to me and do understand why, but it doesn't make it right. Like you said, your past didn't have anything to do with me and I agree, but when it affects me, it does. It's affecting us Lee. I've looked past your secrets and forgiven you twice now and yet, here we are again. Lord knows I'm not strong enough to stay away from you. I've tried... but I'll have to find the strength Lee, because I won't do this anymore. I don't want to leave you, especially now with all of this and also with tomorrow being the one month anniversary of your father's passing and your birthday being four days away, but it's the third time now of being side swiped by your secrets and it's certainly no fucking charm. We have to trust each other. You have to trust ME and tell me what happened between you and Luke since it involves Peter...and it involves who you were and I want...I deserve to know all of you. Remember that time we danced in your other house and you looked right into my eyes and sang that song, All of Me, to me? You said you give me all of you. I thought you meant it. It's all or nothing Lee. Release this weight and let me help you carry it."
Lee kissed your hand and softly sighed as he gently rested his forehead on yours and gave you a tender eskimo kiss, then brought his sapphire eyes to yours.
"Of course I meant it. Let me show you. Let me make love to you. I need you Jo."
Tumblr media
His warm, sweet breath over your mouth was driving you mad with desire and all you wanted to do was press your lips to his and tear his clothes off. Being this close to him was dangerous. You would always become puddy for him to shape and mold you just the way he wanted. You were a puppet on his strings. You were simply spellbound. Lee had healed all the hardships you endured before him, bringing you a peace you had never known and just a simple kiss to his bewitching lips, that alone had the power to render every part of you helpless, sucking your mind, body and soul right into his....but you couldn't give in to him. Not this time. As his lips lowered to yours, you regained control by softly but very reluctantly pushing him back before it was too late.
"Lee, please. No. Sex is not going to make this better or make this go away. Stop deflecting and tell me what happened."
Lee released an obvious sigh of frustration as he closed his eyes and lightly pursed his lips.
"I want to tell you baby. I do. I...I've just never spoken about it to anyone. As I said, I was just trying to bury it and move on. I certainly did not expect this to ever come up, especially now. Feeling cornered is an understatement. There's so much happening. SO much to deal with already. Can't we just do this another time Jo? I will tell you, I prom..."
You pulled your hand from his and stood right up in a huff.
"Don't you promise me anything! I don't believe your promises anymore Lee, because you break them, every single time. You swore to me you had told me everything, but then more dirty laundry always appears and to me, that is a lie...and now, you're making excuses and trying to fuck me to get out of telling me the truth. Putting it off is just making this worse. There's never a right time Lee. You just need to do it. You need to trust me. I'm not going to leave because of your past, but I WILL leave if you can't be honest. I am sorry you feel backed against a wall but it's now or never Lee. I love you more than anything in this world but I am so over this!!"
Lee stood up too and in his anger, he said something he shouldn't have.
"So, it's your way or the highway. Is that it?? Then just go if you want Jo. You would clearly be better off anyways. I said I would tell you and I meant it, but in my own time. I don't like being forced. I'm not ready. Take it or leave it."
"Wow. Well...ok then. Guess I'll leave it. Maybe I WILL be better off because CLEARLY you refuse to change or even try to. You know what? I'm done. I need to go see my mother, see if I still have an apartment and try to find Dave. I'll get my things later."
Lee watched in shock as you whirled out of the room and then he raced down the stairs behind you, pleading for you not to go, for he never thought you would choose that option.
"Jo wait!"
"Wait for what Lee?" you snapped as you tugged your leggings up and slipped your boots on. "You just told me to go."
"I didn't mean it like that. I said take it or leave it. I gave you a choice."
"And I chose! Just like you did."
You grabbed your purse, took out your keys and headed for the door, but not without Lee stepping in front of you.
"Yeah...and quite easily too. So that's just it?? Fuck forever? Jo don't do this. Please. Everything that you want to know, it's not just some quick and simple story to tell. It's dark, it's traumatizing and it's terrifying.
"THIS is dark, traumatizing and terrifying. I'm tired Lee. I'm so fucking tired. Even if you tell me now or tell me later, it will just be half of it, just like it always is, although you will swear to me that you told me everything and then I'll find out the rest later, not by you but by accident and I'm just over it. I don't want to do this anymore. I want a normal relationship and this is far from normal and it's a perfect example of why people put walls up. To protect ourselves and I stupidly let mine down for you. Not anymore. I'm rebuilding it. Now get out of my way Lee."
"Jo. Don't go. Please. Don't leave me. Let me fix this."
"You can't. I don't believe a word you say anymore. I don't believe I would even know what I know if it weren't for overhearing you because I don't believe you were ever going to tell me."
"Ok, that is not true. You don't even understand. I was going to tell you. I had to... or I would have never been able to ask...."
Lee paused with a hard sigh and desperate eyes that quickly wandered from yours.
"Ask? Ask what Lee??"
His hands went to his hips, his head lowered and his eyes closed.
"I...I can't...not yet. Not like this."
"Oh my god....I can't even right now. Goodbye Sam."
As you stormed past him and slammed the door shut behind you, Lee stood dazed and motionless, softly answering your question.
"Ask you to marry me."
You jogged down to the garage where your Monte Carlo was being concealed from the bar thugs and off you went, without a care if they found you. If they did, you would just tell them your car had been stolen and you just got it back. If they didn't believe you and tried something, then you'd give them an attitude adjustment on top of their heads with your Kubotan, Hank Williams Jr. style, just like you did to Luke which dropped the hunky herculean like a sack of potatoes.
For the entire twenty minute drive to your mom's in silence, your arms were locked straight on the wheel as you focused on your breathing so you wouldn't have a panic attack. Everything had escalated so quickly in only a few hours. One minute, you and Lee were dancing in the kitchen and sharing breakfast together, basking in the afterglow following a beautiful night of making love and the next, you couldn't get away from him fast enough. Did you overreact? Should you have stayed and let him speak? You tried this once before, leaving him, which that lasted a whole hot minute and it changed absolutely nothing, so how could you, would you, do it this time when all you wanted to do was turn around and run back into his arms?
The visit with your mom was nerve-racking in itself between trying to hide your emotions over Lee and her trying to hide hers over the horrific ordeal of finding a butchered and still breathing Elizabeth the evening prior and then there was your sister. Your mom informed you that Megan hadn't come home last night and wasn't answering her phone. Of course you couldn't have cared less and wished she'd never come back, but you still tried to make your mom feel better and reminded her that this was not out of the ordinary for Megan to do. It made you think of what Luke told you, that she had actually came to the police station of her own free will and told him that she believed Ethan took Blaise because he thinks he is her father. You had to wonder what would make her turn on him like that. Did she finally see what a dangerous piece of shit he was? Speaking of Blaise, it was now time to go see Craig and you dreaded that almost as much as you dreaded large bodies of water.
As you drove to your apartment, all you could think about was that poor little girl and prayed she was alright wherever she was. For her sake, for Craig's and even for yours, because you knew what Craig's reaction would be when he found out, if he didn't already know, that you knew Liz dropped Blaise off with Angel and you didn't tell him. You also knew he would believe you did it intentionally, which was in no way true whatsoever, to get back at him for not telling you Jason was alive. The guilt was unbearable. How could you have been so self absorbed?
You parked the car and tried calling Dave again before you went into the lion's den and once again, no answer, so you left another voicemail.
"Dave, seriously. Are you THAT mad at me?? If you are, then fine, I can deal with that but at least just text me and tell me you are alright, or text Britt if you don't want to talk to me ok? I'm so worried about you. There's things you need to know about Liz if you don't already and...I really need my friend right now. Ok...bye..."
As you got out of the car, you could hear the muffled sound of music coming from the complex and the only one who blared it like that was Craig when he was working in his art studio. Granted, it was a small complex with only four other tenants but If you could hear it, then so could they and you had to wonder how they could deal with it, BUT, at least his taste in music was right up your alley and when you entered the building, the artist's distinct voice could not be mistaken. You always loved a good David Bowie tune....and this one seemed rather fitting for what you walked in on. How relevant it was for you as well.
youtube
Upon nearing his wide open studio door, the strong odor of paint and sweet cigars stung your nose. You weren't sure what was worse as you walked in. The smell or the vision of him lying on a wheeled platform, desperately engrossed in smearing yellow paint over a giant canvas with his bare hands, silver rings on and all.
Tumblr media
The closer you got as you walked up behind him undetected, it was clear that he was not only drunk as you glanced down at his glass of blood red wine and two empty wine bottles on the floor, but he was in a very deep state of despair. He appeared as if he had just rolled out of bed, although he didn't look as if he had even slept at all as your astonished eyes rolled over him from head to toe. His dark hair was wildly awry as was his normally groomed facial hair and his feet were as bare as his revealing bare bottomed butt crack which you highly doubted he gave two fucks about considering anyone could walk in just as you did.
You now had the problem of getting his attention without startling him, for you knew why he was in the condition he was in because the last time you had just walked in unannounced, you were accidentally almost struck with a can of blue paint due to his fit of rage, and right now, he looked like a ticking time bomb ready to explode. With all that taken into consideration, you decided to just pull the plug on the music and hope he didn't pull a gun on you this time as you tensed up from the thought.
Craig quickly sat up at the sound of silence, gave you a curious glance over and then the only thing he reached for was his paint covered glass that he picked up by the rim and drank from after asking you "what's up?"
Tumblr media
"Hey." you softly answered. "Sorry to just barge in but...I...I have been trying to reach you. Are...are you alright?"
"Well now. Is that somewhat of a rhetorical question? Do I look alright? Unless you're here to tell me that you know where my daughter is, then that would be a big fat no. Fancy seeing you here just Josie. I thought you hated my guts?"
Judging by his well noted inebriated sarcasm, you could tell it was going to be a walk on egg shells type of conversation and you still weren't exactly sure if he knew that you knew Blaise had been right within his grasp before she vanished into thin air. You figured he would have instantly called you out if he knew, but Craig didn't seem to be the type that got straight to the point about things. You had the distinct feeling he was the type that liked to toy with people like a cat does with it's prey. An intimidation tactic per se and it was surely working, so you decided to just come clean and face his claws.
"No. I..I don't know where she is and I...I don't hate you. Not even a little bit but you may not like me so much. Craig I...about Blaise...I need to tell you something that I should have much sooner. I just...I didn't know...how to."
Tumblr media
There was a brief silence as he peered up at you and you could see the curiosity growing in his dilated blues.
"Not even a little bit huh? Hmmph. Must be pretty bad, whatever you did, if you're worried about me not liking you after what I did to you. Alright then love, I'll bite. Is my curiosity going to kill the cat? You seem pretty skittish right now."
The fact that he basically just read your mind regarding the cat references made you gulp and then it just got worse when you couldn't find the words.
"Cat....got your tongue just Josie?"
"Ok, please just stop with the cat thing already."
"Mrrrow!! Feisty one are we?" he shot off as he grinned and raised his hand, making a swiping gesture with his fingers.
"Craig! Stop it and listen before I lose my nerve."
"Jeesh. I think you need this wine as bad as I do. Have a drink. It'll calm your nerves. There's another bottle in the fridge. Would you be a doll and fetch it for us?"
"It's....10 a.m. Craig."
"Yeah and your point is? There's no time restrictions for drinking in your own home and even if there were, I don't follow the rules. I make them. It's 5 o'clock all the time in my world."
"Fine. Whatever."
You went and got the wine and a clean glass for yourself and him too because you couldn't stand watching him put his lips on wet paint.
"Here. Wipe your hands off." you commanded as you handed him a towel and opened the wine.
"Yes mommy." he chuckled and did as you told him. "Now. Have a seat and let's hear it."
"I..I'd rather stand."
"Suit yourself then. Cheers."
Craig raised his glass and knocked it all back in three gulps, then gazed up at you with a happy grin as you took a nervous sip.
"What the hell was that? Only a mouse could get drunk on that. Come on now, down the hatch."
You felt like a mouse alright, caught in a mouse trap as your anxiety began to slowly choke you. Enough was enough. You downed the wine and blurted out what you did.
"Craig..I..I knew Blaise was at Angel's before she was taken and I should have told you but I didn't because I was dealing with Jason and some other things."
His reaction was just as you had expected it would be. Shock, which was written all over his exhausted face.
"Is that so?"
Tumblr media
"Y..yes." you softly squeaked and then began rambling. "And I..I am SO SO sorry. I was at Lee's and I saw Liz drop her off and I..I did try to call you. I texted too but you didn't answer or reply and then some other things happened and I...I had to go meet Jason and then I..."
"And then you just forgot about my daughter?? Does that sound about right? Because she didn't go missing until 48 fucking hours later. Did you forget where I live too?? but suddenly, you remembered today??"
In his aggravation, Craig purposely picked up the paint covered glass and filled it to the rim with more wine, then took a hefty gulp.
"Craig, so much happened. Obviously, Liz was attacked and then later she died and.."
He cut you off again as his agitation increased.
"And yet I still did not hear from you until now and now that I have, all I hear are bullshit excuses."
Tumblr media
"I mean, that's two fucking days Jo. You were certainly able to go meet Jason but not come here. Last time I checked, your brother is a big boy who can handle his own problems, which is exactly what he's selfishly doing after all I did for him, but a 4 year old child is helpless Jo! I'm sure you slept too right? All snuggy in your bed, playing doctor with the doctor, all the while that piece of shit Ethan was plotting to kidnap Blaise. I even tried to protect you from him, right after you slapped me stupid and told me you never wanted to see my face again. Eh, that don't even matter. What matters is Blaise and it could have been prevented if I HAD KNOWN that she was merely 50 fucking feet away from you and so here I am now, daughterless and drunk. You know what I've been doing in my spare time since I have exhausted all my resources in locating her? It's like she has fallen off the face of the earth."
Craig put on some old cheap flip flops and stood up, then pointed down at his painting.
"You see that? I did what you said to try. I used Blaise as some inspiration to try and cure this painter's block I've been dealing with for so long. Did you know she likes bees? So I attempted to paint her a giant fucking bumble bee for when I get her back, or should I say IF I get her back, no thanks to you and certainly none to that dunderheaded detective who shares Ethan's rancid blood. Audacious British fuck writing me into his little black book as a person of interest in Lizzie's death. I'm a lot of things, but I'm not a monster, even if I was raised by one."
"Craig, speaking of Cyrus, he happens to be one of the other problems we have been dealing with. Things that have nothing to even do with this. So much more has happened too and I don't expect you to understand that but I swear to you, I never meant for anything to happen to Blaise. Please...please believe me."
"I'll tell you what I believe. I believe you did this intentionally. What a great way to stick it to me for not telling you your brother was alive huh? Checkmate. You got me good Jo. Gold stars for you. Hit me right where it hurts the most. You're right. I don't like you so much anymore Miss March. I'll have your last months deposit ready for you in a few days and then I expect you out by the end of the month. Now get out of my sight. Good day."
"Craig come on. I would never put your child's life in danger just to get back at you or for any reason!"
As the acrimonious kiwi walked away, completely ignoring you, there was spillage of the yellow paint in his already cluttered pathway and the combination of flimsy flips flops worn by someone sober or tipsy, slick concrete and liquids do not mix.
Tumblr media
Down he went as one foot slipped right out from under him and there he laid, stunned and flat out on his back with wine all over his face.
"Craig oh my god!" you gasped as you quickly but carefully made your way to him. "Are you alright??!!"
"There's that question again so I'll answer with the same answer. Do I look alright???" he snapped and attempted to get up, only to slip again and land on his butt.
"Here. Let me help you."
You reached down to him but he smacked your hand away.
"I might be a teeny bit sauced right now, but I'm not an invalid and if I were, I certainly wouldn't want or need any help from the likes of you Jo March."
"Fine." you huffed and then smirked at him. "Good luck then since you're now sitting in a giant smeared puddle of paint. I suppose if you crawl like the petulant child you're being, ass crack and all, you could make it out of your precarious predicament unscathed."
He glared up at you as he thought for a moment about demeaning himself even more than he already had by doing as you said.
"Fine." he also huffed and jerked his sticky hand out to you.
You took his hand and began to pull. As he pushed himself up with his other hand, his foot slipped out again and this time, he pulled you right down on top of his chiseled chest.
"Well now. Now who's in a precarious predicament Einstein? Now we're both covered in paint and not to mention fucked, just not in the way I would like." he boasted with a cheesy smirk as you both were nose to nose and damn near mouth to mouth. So close that his facial hair tickled your upper lip and his hot sweet wine breath made you drunk in a way that it shouldn't have as you and he stared into each other's eyes.
You quickly broke the trance he had you in and pushed your way up off of him.
"Come on Craig. Get up so I can leave. Now is clearly not the time to talk to you."
You reached down again, but made sure you were in a good stance to pull him up this time. Once he was securely on his feet, you handed him another towel to wipe the wine from his face and when he was finished, things became a bit awkward and silent for a moment as he fidgeted and fought having eye contact with you.
Tumblr media
"I uh...I think I broke your glasses." you mumbled as you glanced at the black framed spectacles hanging from the frayed neckline of his knit shirt.
His head snapped down to look at them and then his defenses were right back up.
"Oh...well, no biggie. What's one more thing you've broken? I've got more, although... I don't have another daughter. I'm going to bed. See yourself out."
This time, Craig safely made his way back to his apartment entrance without a single glance back at you and then you quietly left. When you returned to your own apartment down the hall, you immediately took a long hot shower to decompress and cried your eyes out the entire time. Once you were finished, you sat down with a chilled bottled of wine you had in the fridge to try and calm your nerves. The conversation with Craig had went just as you imagined it in your head many times and he had every right to be angry with you. You should have went straight to him and met Jason later. Blaise would be safe and sound with Craig right now and you were the reason she was not, and for that, you were going to make it your mission to find her yourself and bring her home. You didn't have a cue as to how, but you were to try and make things right.
But of course, while trying to think about where to start, your mind betrayed you as all your thoughts went right back to Lee, but you knew they would once you were no longer distracted. How in the hell were you going to stay away from him this time if you couldn't even sit still without thinking of him??
The one glass of wine that early in the morning had caught up with you and made you somewhat sleepy and it wasn't long before you dozed off on the couch without even realizing it. Meanwhile, in a small town called Grandview, 15 miles from Salem, Dr. Dave had just returned home from a much needed getaway.
As he sat at his kitchen table, drinking a beer, reading your texts and listening to your voicemails, he contemplated calling you until he heard a noise in the living room. Dave lived alone and had no pets, so it was either his older but newly remodeled house still settling or....it was what is usually was. A ghost. And he had the gift to see and speak to them, although he would not call it a gift, but a curse and the only ones who knew were you and his sister Britt.
When he got to the living room doorway, there sat a little boy, about 5 years old with sandy blonde hair and big blue eyes, whom he had never seen before and he just looked at Dave until he spoke to him.
Tumblr media
"Hey there. What's your name?"
"Jacob."
"Hello Jacob. I'm Dave."
"I know."
"Alright. Can you tell me why you're here?"
"She needs help."
"Who...needs help?"
"The girl at the train yard. I saw her. The bad man hurt her."
"The train yard??"
"Where mommy was hurt. Over there."
Jacob pointed out the window and Dave then realized he was referring to Train Town. It used to be a public attraction, about a mile away by a state park, but it was shut down many years ago and was now basically a train car graveyard.
"Who's your mommy Jacob?"
"Elizabeth. She died and rode the train."
Dave had to collect himself, for he now knew he was talking to Liz and your Lee's son.
"Ok. I heard about that. I am very sorry Jacob, but...who is the girl you said is hurt? Is she there now?"
"My new and favorite mommy's sister."
"You mean Josie? Her...sister?"
"Mmmhmm."
Dave sprung to his feet and called you, but got no answer so he called your mother Margaret and she confirmed that Megan had not been home since yesterday and that she could not reach her.
"Jacob, can you show me where she is at? It is a really big place."
"Yep. Last one there's a rotten egg!"
Jacob hopped out of his chair and ran out the front door and vanished like the typical fugacious ghost as Dave stood in a transient spell of shock. As his mind resumed focus, he then grabbed his medical bag, raced to his truck and sped off without a thought of the danger that could be waiting for him.

I would love to read something where Jace is a dom maybe a soft one because of his personality but it would be fun to see him being serious about his responsibilities and his duty and reader keeps teasing him until she earns a spanking ;) btw love what yor writings <3
warnings: contains adult content here, minors don't read, and if you don't like it either.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Brown with pure desire, lust and pleasure, he remembers the mischievous whispers she launched into his ear, she was teasing him, he knew it, upset maybe that he spent so much time away from her, but what could he do? He wanted to be with her too, kiss her, touch her, but being the future heir to the throne was consuming all his soul, and now she was there, dancing with a lord who looked at her like she was a piece of meat, Jace bit his tongue, trying to hold back his anger, he was never very good at it either, but this was an insult not only to him, but to his wife, yes you were married, he was yours of course, but you were totally his, you danced with the lord, but sometimes your gaze would only go to him, with a mischievous smile, a sweet but provocative look.
- My prince... Are you paying attention to what I am saying?
The Lannister lord who was discussing some commercial action with him, looked at him confused, for the first time since the festivities began, he managed to look away.
- I'm sorry, but I'll have to leave for now, Lord Lannister.
The man in front of you with the distinctive blond hair, and red and gold robes, felt like he couldn't say much, but his attention was totally diverted by other conversations, which Jacaerys didn't have much interest in, he then stopped you and the man who was perhaps getting very close to what was his, the man looked at you a little startled, walked away quickly, and apologized several times, Jace just rolled his eyes, when his gaze went straight to you, you gave him an "innocent" look, Jace knew that you were trying to get the worst out of him, it was rare but it happened, and/n knows how much he liked to keep his relationship to four walls, preferably the walls of his bedroom, but this time he just took your hand, which you certainly didn't protest, the force he took your hand was perhaps stronger than any of the other times, and honestly he didn't care if he was being totally discreet.
Tumblr media
He threw you on the big board table, honestly Jacaerys was mad, you could only be messing with his head, in any other situation this would never happen, you ran your hands through his hair, squeezing lightly your leather, especially when your lips touched, bit and kissed his neck, moaning softly close to his neck, He squeezed your thighs with a force you would know would have a dark handprint for days to come, asking you to be quiet, even though you could hear the loud sounds of the party from where you stood, it wouldn't be too hard for someone else to notice your absence and quickly find you in this position, you almost completely naked, him attacking your body, and every bit of it.
- You provoked me too much you know, now do the work of apologizing.
Before you could let out a plea from your lips, Jace simply lifted you off the table, and dropped you to your knees, unzipping your pants, and releasing his already hard cock which slapped gently against your lips, you choked but honestly your mouth was salivating at the thought of what was about to happen, he took your hand by the chin, and forced you to look into his eyes, brown with pure desire.
- No, my sweet wife, you will have to show that you are truly sorry.
She grabbed both your thighs as a means to hold on better, while Jace did a little fluffing of his hair, messing up all the hair you had worked so hard to make for tonight, a night that had already been simply forgotten by both of you, you gave a little kiss on the head of his cock, he was letting you tease him, you knew it too well, going so slow it hurt, running your tongue lightly over the red head of Jacaerys, which made him let out little grunts, he let her tease him, for as long as she wanted, but when she finally started to suck his whole length, that's when Jace showed who was in charge of all of this, tightening his hand around her hair, he drove it in a fast, deep speed, that almost made her choke a few times, that only made him feel more pleasure, He stopped abruptly, giving her some breathing room, but y/n just kept spitting on his cock, and kept sucking everything, Jacarys threw her body back slightly, one hand free using the table as a support.
- You're sorry aren't you.
In response she sucked him harder, which made him grunt softly, before she could continue to show him how truly sorry she was for her actions, he pulled her up, her legs weak from the position they had been in before, and Jace sat her down on the edge of the table.
- Now you're going to have to be quiet little girl, or I'm going to punish you, and everyone will know what a slut you are when it comes to my cock.
You didn't have much time to answer, as you felt your walls open up and envelop your lovely husband's entire member, pain and pleasure mixed together and your vision began to blur, your loud moan was quickly covered by Jace's hand, who also gave a slight sigh, mostly of happiness, you were hugging him so tightly inside. He wanted to go deeper with you, he took you on his lap, you two still connected, you passed your legs around him, going even deeper he supported you on the nearest wall while his hands held your waist, going hard and hard inside you, you covered your mouth, knowing that if you released it everyone could find you, especially when you could hear some soul wandering around the castle, but Jace honestly seemed to have forgotten, he was hitting you hard, just wanting to be deeper inside you, his hands tightening around your waist, and to hold back his own moans that wanted to escape, he bit down a little hard on your shoulder.
When you felt that your release was almost coming, when his strokes home, you go little blurts, the prince turned her over and left her, leaning on the table, her feet landing on the floor, leaning over the table, her chest being crushed by the wood, while her moans now unable to be stopped resounded freely, Jace squeezing her ass, the lustful sounds their bodies made, back and forth, with his fingers digging into your ass, he squeezed harder, as he came inside you, you felt his cock pulsing, his hot ribbons expanding inside you, but before you could reach the point that you would be seeing as many stars as he was, Jace simply withdrew his cock and put it away as he leaned in close to your ears.
- That's what you deserve when you're being so rude in front of others, but don't worry, you'll come back at that party, and show that you're sorry and be a good wife, and you'll surely be rewarded.
He gave her a kiss on the lips and walked quickly out the door, back to the party, and left her there needy and sincerely horny and neglected, and now she could have two choices, stay or go.

I promised so much and delivered that forgiveness.

An unexpected confession (Osamu Dazai x fem reader)
Tumblr media
Since you started working for the Armed Detective Agency, you have captivated everyone's eyes, I mean you are truly the object of people's affection, and you knew it. Despite what people thought of you. You were very kind and compassionate, unfortunately, people take advantage of your kindness which was quite bothersome, but it was so predictable.
You were given the title Madame Red as you adored red from the top of your head to the bottom of your shoes. Put simply, your ability was to lure people in with the sound of your voice. It didnโ€™t come as a surprise when you were told that you would be paired with Dazai on a mission together to go to a club together and investigate a case. You were very exhausted on Tuesday morning, noting that you didn't get much sleep for the past 2 days.
Before you and himย went to the club, you and Dazai met at the Agency to discuss the plan of action. Dazai was seated across from you in his seat, and you were seated on his desk. While squinting through the windows from the sun's brightness and feeling its warm embrace cling to you, you were tempted to close your eyes. However, Dazai called for you before you could, he asks โ€œYou okay bella donna?โ€
I give him a tender smile as I tell him, "Don't worry dear, I'm fine just a little tired, is all." He asks, "Well, should we go over the plan darling?" as he casts a worried glance my way but decides not to pursue the matter further. I lean in closer and whisper, "You read my mind." After discussing the plan, Dazai offered to accompany me as we walk side by side, I find myself admiring how handsome he was. He says, "Take a picture it will last longer," as he observes that I am staring at him amusedly. I reply, "I'm so sorry for staring," feeling aย blush slowly spread across my cheeks as I gaze at him in embarrassment
"You're so cute, you know that?" He chuckles and walks away, leaving me a little behind. As I begin to feel weak from lack of sleep, I eventually collapse on the ground. Dazai hears me fall still not turning around as he says, โ€œDamn I know Iโ€™m hot, but you donโ€™t need to fall for me this quickly.โ€ With the lack of no response, he turns around now worried saying โ€œOh shit, you alright?โ€ After noticing that I had fallen unconscious he picks me up bridal style as he whispers, โ€œYou are going to be okay my love.โ€
Some time had passed before you had woke up noticing the unfamiliar room you were in, taking in the fact that it was now night, you hear the door opening dragging your thoughts away as you see Dazai excitedly looking at me before I had a chance to respond, he embraced me and said, "Oh bella donna, I'm so happy that you are okay, I was worried that I couldn't have anyone to do a double suicide with."
I give him a hug in return, and when I turn to look at him with a scowl on my face, he just smiles and says, "I'm just messing with you, darling." As soon as I realized we were meant to be on a mission, "Wait, what about the mission?" I questioned him. Don't worry that pretty little head of yours,ย I took care of itย he replies. I say, "Oh Osamu, I can't thank you enough, how can I repay you?" while grinning warmly. Well, there is something you can do, he chuckles at me. I respond to him โ€œAnything, what can I do?โ€ Then, as he pressesย his lips against mine and says, "This," he moves even closer to my face. Our hands are now entwined, and he adds, "I love you so much, Y/N. I say, "I love you too, Osamu," in a loving manner.
A/N: HELP I WROTE THIS AT 3AM SO IF IT'S BAD IM SO SORRY ANYWAY I LOVE YOUUU.

"Check it out, man," Johnny pointed, the three of you closing in on the entrance to the old building, courtesy of the directions a local farmer gave.
"The church," Pony nodded.
You entered, your face falling as you realized the place was infested with cobwebs and spiders, not to mention dusty beyond belief, and a couple of rabbits hiding around, too.
Suddenly, something screeched, swooping down from the rafters and flying out the door.
"What was that?!" You jumped, frantically looking around.
"Just an owl," Pony stated, taking off Dally's coat and placing it down on the ground, Johnny laying on top of it.
Pony laid his head on a square rock, and you sat down next to him, nervously fiddling with a button on Johnny's jacket.
"Guys..." Pony started.
"Yeah," you and Johnny answered.
"Y'all all right?"
"All right as I can be," you sighed, pulling your knees up to your chest.
After a while of not hearing Johnny's response, the two of you turned to the boy, only to see that he was out like a light.
"Figures," you nodded, "He did stay up the whole ride."
"Yeah," Pony nodded, shifting to at least try and get comfy, "Man, this floor sure is hard."
"Get some rest, Pone," you assured, showing him a faint smile, "I'll keep watch."
The boy nodded, finally settling and shutting his eyes.
Which left you alone with your thoughts for the first time in the past couple days.ย 
Something dangerous.
'I shouldn't have brought these boys with me. They surely woulda gotten off scott-free if they stayed. They didn't do nothin' wrong.'
You sighed, turning to face Johnny and letting your hands find place in his hair, massaging it in the way you knew he liked, his face visibly relaxing, even in sleep.
"I'm sorry, Johnny," you apologized, "I don't think you know how much I mean that. This was my mess. This is my fault. It ain't have anything to do with you or Pony."
You looked up at the ceiling, watching the first rays of morning light hit the run-down place, sunlight seeping in through the cracks and holes of the old wood.
"I must be the most selfish person in the world. I want to tell y'all to leave, go somewhereย farย away, but I just can't. I can't bear to be away from you two."ย 
You scoffed, an empty laugh making you come clean.
"Who am I kiddin'? I can't bear to be away fromย you, Johnny Cade."
You stopped your hand for a moment, an idea suddenly coming to mind.
'If you really feel so bad, then make it up to them. You got the cash. Pick up some stuff from the store. A couple necessities, sure, but some stuff that they'll really like.'
You smiled, truly, for the first time in what felt like years, before standing up, about to run out the church.
But you stopped yourself, turning around and crouching to Johnny's level.
"I'll be right back, Johnnycake," you whispered, tucking a stray tuft of hair behind his ear and placing a kiss on his cheek.
Once that was settled, you stood back up, quickly and quietly making your way out of the church.
๐’‹ ๐’ ๐’‰ ๐’ ๐’ ๐’š ๐’„ ๐’‚ ๐’Œ ๐’†
"Maybe I shoulda brought one a them. Might've helped by carry this box. Weighs a damn ton," you grumbled, walking into the entrance of the church, a box full of groceries in hand...orย hands.
You had gone by yourself so you couldn't get multiple bags, resorting to stuffing everything you could in the crate.
The second you stepped over the threshold, you were bombarded by two sleepy teens, one relieved and one frantic.
"There you are! Where did you go?!" Johnny exclaimed, running over and tackling you in a hug, holding you tight and placing a hand behind your neck to pull you closer.
"I thought you'd hightailed it! Or some-someone took you last night! Man, you had me worried! Don't do that again, ya hear? Or at least leave a note."
'That was smart. Probably shoulda done that.'
You glowed red, putting down the crate on an old table so you could reciprocate the hug.
"Sorry, Johnnycake. Didn't mean to spook you," you apologized, him pulling back to see your smile.
"It's alright," he smiled back, your grin infectious.
Pony rolled his eyes, "Don't keep us waitin', (y/n/n). Show us the haul," he asked, excitedly.
"Of course," you nodded, starting to unpack the box, "All right, I got a loaf of bread, and a week's supply of bologna here. Some peanut butter."
You smirked, pulling out a book and handing it to the boy.
"Gone With the Wind?ย How'd you know I always wantedย Gone With the Wind?" He smiled, looking down at its cover.
"I remembered you sayin' somethin' about it once. The three of us went to see that movie, remember?" You answered, pulling out some other things, "Figured you could read that out loud...help kill time or somethin'."
"Thanks a lot, (y/n/n)."
"Don't worry 'bout it, man," you smiled, going back to the groceries, "Anyway, got some cigarettes, a deck of cards-." "Peroxide?" He chimed once again, looking down at the bottle quizzically.
"And..." you turned to them, holding up a pair of hair-cutting scissors.
The two looked at you shocked, almost offended, at your insinuation.
"You ain't thinkin'-." "We're gonna cut our hair," you finished, going back to unloading everything.
"You're gonna bleach yours."
"No."
"They'll have our descriptions in the papers. We can't fit 'em, man."
"No, sir, you ain't touchin' my hair."
"They do it, anyway. First thing a judge does is make ya cut your hair."
"I don't see why..." Johnny grumbled to himself.
"I ain't got the funniest, either. Probably a way to break us or somethin'," you shrugged, whipping out the scissors and walking over to Pony, "Now, I'm gonna cut Johnny's off, too, and wash all the grease out."
"And what about you?" Johnny cocked a brow.
"The rule's different for girls. I can't just go bald-headed," you explained, "My hair grows real quick, so I'll just grow it out."
"You're makin' me bald-headed?! Now you definitely ain't touchin' my hair," Pony scoffed.
"I was exagerratin', Pony, I'm not gonna make you bald. It's hair, man, it'll grow back," you sighed, resting an annoyed hand on your hip.
He let out a deep breath, before finally caving, "Go 'head."
You smiled, starting your work quickly.
"Ow! Not so rough, (y/n/n)," he winced at one of your tugs.
"Quit gabbin'. I gotta hurry up and get this done so I can start on the bleach," you waved off.
๐’‹ ๐’ ๐’‰ ๐’ ๐’ ๐’š ๐’„ ๐’‚ ๐’Œ ๐’†
Two haircuts and a bleach later, and the boys were new men.
Though you couldn't say Ponybody was too happy about it, he called it aย Halloween costume.
But now that your looks were in order, the three of you had nothing but time to kill, and for the first few days, you all tried nearly every method under the sun.
Reading, hunting, poker, talking, cooking, eating, smoking, you name it.
And throughout all those activities, you and Johnny had become attached at the hip, practically doing everything together.
It was also recent news that Johnny had become considerably touchy.
He always had an arm around your waist, or a hand in yours, or even a leg thrown over your lap.
It was making you feel a certain type of way, and you nearly burst yesterday when he pulled you in by your waist to whisper a joke Pony told him in your ear.
So on this day, you decided to sit in the wheat field behind the church and watch the sunset, to help clear your head and your heart in order to come up with a plan of action.
And you would've succeeded, too, had it not been for the boy in question who walked out to join you.
"Y'know, Dally said that would shouldn't stick our noses out," Johnny teased, sitting himself right next to you.
You smiled, looking out into the horizon, "Yeah, well, I figured one time wouldn't hurt. So long as I'm careful."
"Course," he nodded, turning to look at what you were looking at.
The both of you sat there in uncomfortable silence, praying that someone would do something or say something to ease the atmosphere.
And rest assured, it wasn't just you feeling this way.ย 
Johnny had been practically eating away at himself for the past week.
While sitting in the train car, no one to talk to but himself, he began to realize that life is short.
Bob was alive one minute and dead the next, just like that.
What's to say something like that could happen to him? Or you?
He'd never forgive himself if he died without telling you how he's truly felt, how he's felt since junior high.
Or worse, you find someone else before he can.
He nearly gagged in his mouth.
The thought alone made him sick to his stomach.
"Have I made uncomfortable this week, (y/n/n)? I know I never really asked about it...which I probably shoulda...but I noticed you've been distant. So, I wanted to know if you wanted me to stop," he asked maturely, though glowing with embarrassment as he was just realizing he hadn't asked your permission to touch you so much.
"Oh, no, not at all," you assured with smile, resting your hand on his, "Quite the opposite, actually."
His ears perked at that last part.
"Opposite?" He asked.
"Y'know," you started, quickly changing the subject, "When I...stabbed Bob...his face got me thinkin'."
Johnny cocked a brow at the sudden tone switch, "His face?"
"Yeah, his face," you nodded, turning to him, "Sure, he looked surprised, and scared, too. But there was something else, a tiny flash. ....It was regret, Johnny. Bob died with regret."
Johnny nodded, finally picking up what you were putting down.
"I don't wanna die like that, with that look on my face. I wanna live knowin' that I said everything I wanted to say, and did everything I wanted to do."
"There somethin' you tryna tell me, (y/n/n)?" Johnny asked, looking you dead in the eyes.
Turning to him quickly, your breath quickened, and those three words were right there on the tip of your tongue, ready to say.
"I.........." you didn't even finish the sentence.
You pulled him in by his shirt, since you still had on his jacket, and smashed your lips into his, him easing into it almost instantly.
You rested your hands on each side of his face, keeping him in place as he wrapped his arms tightly around your waist, pulling you even closer.
The kiss was electric, and while very uncoordinated and eager, it felt like liquid fire was coursing through your veins, pushing you forward.
The two of you shifted to your knees, you sitting up on top of him and tilting your head in order to get the angle, deepening the kiss even further.
Johnny gripped you even tighter, fearful he would simply float away if he didn't keep himself grounded.
With your touch burning his skin and your scent flooding his nostrils, he felt like he was higher than the clouds, like this was heaven on earth.
You washed over him like a wave of calm, the rhythm of the kiss lulling his anxiety filled mind, until the only thing he could think about was why on earth he didn't do this sooner.
The two of you broke free from the kiss, taking a break for air, while still holding tight onto each other.
You rested your forehead on his, panting, as you stared into those gorgeous baby browns.
And he smiled, taking a moment to gaze into your deep (e/c) ones with a look that was nothing short of adoring.
"I lo-." "Jesus Christ! This is what y'all were doing out here?!" Ponyboy exclaimed from the top of the hill, completely interrupting what Johnny was about to say.
You two quickly threw yourselves off each other, red in the face as you looked in opposite directions, hoping that would help with the embarrassment.
"At least do that inside. You're gonna catch somethin' in the grass..." he grumbled, turning around to walk back into the church.
Your eyes shot wide, and you snapped your head over to the boy, "Wait a minute, what didya think we were-?!" "Don't wanna think about it!"
"Pony, we weren't-!" "M'not listenin'!"
You shook your head, covering your face with your hands
'I'll never face that boy again.'
๐’‹ ๐’ ๐’‰ ๐’ ๐’ ๐’š ๐’„ ๐’‚ ๐’Œ ๐’†
After a couple days of not talking, the three of you decided to put theย eventsย of said day behind by waking up early to see the sunrise.
And if you thought sunrises were beautiful in the city, well, they ain't got nothing on a sunrise out in the country.
"Golly, that sure was pretty, huh?" Johnny smiled.
"Yeah," Ponyboy nodded.
"It's like the mist is what's pretty, you know? All gold and silver."
"Too bad it cant't stay like that all the time," you sighed.
A quizzical face suddenly came onto Pony, as if he was remembering something, "Nothing gold can stay."
"Huh?" Johnny asked, turning to him.
"Nature's first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold. Her leaf's a flower, but only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf, so Eden sank to grief. So dawn goes down to day, nothing gold can stay," Pony recited, thoughtfully.
"That was beautiful," you smiled, turning to the boy, "Where'd you learn it?"
"Yeah. S'what I meant," Johnny agreed.
You cocked a brow, looking him with a smirk, "Yeah, right. You ain't that deep."
"Am too. I'm as deep as they get," he smirked back, giving you a littleย look.
"Robert Frost wrote it," Pony answered, "I always remembered it 'cause I never quite knew what he meant by it."
You smiled, taking a deep breath and allowing yourself to truly hear the sounds of nature.
The birds chirping, the cicadas buzzing, the squirrels chittering.
Nature was truly a wonder.
You forget that a lot in the city
"Y'know, I never noticed colors and clouds and stuff until you kept reminding me about 'em," Johnny started, turning to Ponyboy, "S'almost like they were never there before."
"Yeah," he nodded, "I don't think I could ever tell Steve or Two Bit, or even Darry 'bout the clouds or sunset. Just you two and Sodapop. ...Maybe Cherry Valance."
You smirked at the mention of the girl, Johnny sharing it.
"Guess we're different, huh?"
"Shoot, yeah. Maybeย theyย are," Pone smiled, walking back down the hill.
๐’‹ ๐’ ๐’‰ ๐’ ๐’ ๐’š ๐’„ ๐’‚ ๐’Œ ๐’†
"Hey, lovebirds," a familiar New York accent smirked, kicking the pew you and Johnny were sleeping on.
"Hey, Dally," you yawned, sitting up and stretching your arms.
"Rise and shine, Blondie," he greeted Pony as well, ruffling his hair, "Wake up."
"How ya been, Dal?" Pony sighed, kicking out his legs to sit upright, "How's Soda doin'?"
"Hey, Dallas, how are ya?" Johnny smiled, moving from under you to sit up, too, "Are the fuzz after us? Ya hear anything?"
"Wait, one thing at a time. You guys hungry? Wanna get somethin' to eat. I'm starving, man," he asked, leaning up against the door frame.
"You're starved? Try bologna for four days," you scoffed.
"You picked it out," Pony waved you off.
"Didn't think I was gonna get sick of it so fast," you defended.
"Wait, wait, wait a minute, stop the presses," Dally halted, narrowing his eyes at you.
The three of you turned to look at each other in confusion.
Dally quickly walked up to you, turning your cheek to open up your neck and reveal the large, dark purple hickey that lay bright and open for anyone to see.
You and Johnny might've decided to finish what you started a couple days ago, but it never went any further than a smooch.
Though you were surprised you didn't notice the damned thing, didn't even remember him giving it to you.
He looked to Johnny, then to you, then to Johnny again, the both of you too red and embarrassed to meet his eyes.
The dots finally connected and he let out a celebratory howl.
"Yes! Yes! Finally, Jesus Christ!" He caught himself, quickly pausing his celebration, "Wait, who made the first move?"
You and Johnny turned to each other, silently debating on whether or not to tell him, before finally caving.
"She did," Johnny sighed.
"YES! I gotta tell Soda the good word. Two's payin' up big time," he cheered again.
You turned dark red, popping the collar of Johnny's jacket to hide the source of your embarrassment.
"Have you guys...y'know," Dally smirked, making anย Oย with his hand and sticking his finger through it, "Done whatย birds and beesย do?"
"For God's sake, Dally!" Johnny exclaimed, red as a beet.
"Yes, they did!" Pony chimed, disgusted, "Outside!"
"Outside?!" Dally gasped, shocked, "You guys are a freaky bunch, ain't ya?"
"We didn't!" Johnny groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Johnny, take that revolver and put two right between my eyes," you mumbled into your hands, covering your face in embarrassment, "The police don't hafta worry 'bout me no more."
"Anyways," Dally smiled, changing the subject as he pulled out a cigarette, "Got a special delivery for a Ponyboy Curtis. Here, man."
"Who's this from?" Pony asked, taking the letter and inspecting it.
"The President of the United States of America."
"Yeah, right."
"I'm serious, man," Dal joked, taking a hit, "It's from your brother, Sodapop."
"How'd he know I was here?" Pone asked.
"I told 'im I didn't know where you were, but he didn't believe me. He really wanted me to give that to you, man," Dally explained.
As Pony read the letter, Johnny raked a nervous hand through his hair, standing up from the pew, "Hey, Dal, what's goin' on with the cops, man? You hear anything?"
"Yeah, how come you got hauled in?" You asked.
"Those boys down at the station know me by now. While I was there, they kinda beat it out of me that you guys were," he chuckled, "headin' to Texas. They think you guys are in Texas.ย Texas, man.ย God."
The three of you turned to each other, smiling, as you got yourselves ready to go.
This situation really might be behind you.
You guys could finally go back to how things were.
You working at the DX, hanging out with Johnny and Pony on the weekends, watching cartoons over at the Curtis house with the rest of the gang.
You practically squealed at the thought.
"Look at this guy and his hair, man. I can't believe that. Look at 'im," Dally smiled, staring at Pony as he put on his coat, "Blondie, man."
"I know I look lousy, but don't rub it in," Pony grumbled, starting off out the door.
Dally sighed, rolling his shoulders before starting off after him, "You guys wanna get somethin' to eat?"
