#i would ride it on grass in parks :) and it would be so scary.

[limewatt]

i wanna learn how to rollerblade…

#it’s sick as hell and seems easier than skateboarding #first i think i should remedy being so scared of bikes or ice skating #those are more accessible to me and i still don’t know how to #ice skating in particular seems like it would be apt to try to be able to do before seriously considering rollerblading #esp as the weather gets colder and rinks/park ‘ponds’ start opening up #i oughta learn to ride a bike and get decent with it at least. #riding a bike in general is scary but the main thing that always scared me is the expectation that id then need to actually ride it around #like hell i’m riding it as transport!! there’s fucking cars!! like hell i wanna be a fucking cyclist HERE #i would ride it on grass in parks :) and it would be so scary. #why do i think in-line skates would be any percent easier or safer #i have got to stop living a completely sedentary life though and in-line skates look more fun that walking #but also i am too scared to walk #i cannot keep living life in constant fear!!!!!! i will though. #such a shame i was cursed with extreme cowardice #can’t my impulsive tendencies overcome my cowardice for a good reason. #god the fact that you have gotta try and take baby steps even when you’re scared is so fucked up. i am so scared of everything all the time. #whatever!!! i have to try!!! i hafta try!!! i hafta try!!! i hafta try!!! that’s all that truly matters in the end!!! i have to fucking try! #man in-line skates are so fucking cool #all those action sports like skateboarding and parkour and inline skating are sick as hell #the barrier for the extreme shit is way way too high for me but gliding around on in-line skates seems like something that’s doable someday #lets hope

the blackphone x reader

what I think hanging into with them would be like !

m.list !!

cw : platonic relationships for all of these / non gendered(no prns!)

a/n : so I've been quite obsessed with this movie and have decided that I will be writing for it, if you want to request for something specific you can!!

Finney Blake :

Hanging out with him would probably consist of you guys practicing baseball, whether it'd be you throwing the ball and him hitting it or the other way around. You guys would also probably meet up with Robin and just go exploring the neighborhood ☆☆

I also feel like you guys would meet up at a park whenever you guys just don't feel like being at home and bringing your own things so you guys can just sit there and talk about whatever

Robin Arellano :

with him, you guys would probably be sitting inside watching horror movies. Finney would be absolutely horrified but would agree to join just because he wouldn't wanna feel left out

Finney: screaming sobbing and rolling on the sofa

Robin : dude the movie just started

Finney : oh, right

thats how it would go pretty much, but in general you guys have such a blast !!(mainly dissing Finney for being a wimp lol)

Gwen Blake :

Hanging out with Gwen Blake would probably be like a those teen girl movies where they have a sleep over and talk about boys/gossip. Probably more gossip than boy talk, I also feel like Gwen would be very into those dumb scary games where u get paranoid and end up staying up all night. Gwen is an absolute menace and will jump scare you if you ever try to sleep that night

You : Gwenny, my dear friend, what in God's name are you doing

Gwen : standing above you and your other friend as she stares at you menacingly

You : I'm just gonna

Cue you and your other friend running out the room as you get chased by Gwen

Bruce Yamada :

Practicing baseball with this dude is his like go-to. I feel like also going on walks with this guy would be awesome, like he always has something to talk about and would just have a whole conversation with himself if you weren't already there. He would also probably tag you randomly with no warning and start running down the street. Cue screaming from your end because he's so far ahead it's scary.

You : BRUCE.(inhale)YAMADA.(exhale)

Bruce : ignoring you as you very angrily run towards him with every last bit of energy you have left in you

Bruce : yea ???

Then you proceed to drop on the grass infront of him and watch as he panics before you pass out on the floor. Ofcourse your fine, just very exhausted from running like a mile and a half after a guy who's obviously faster than you because he's on the baseball team.

Vance hopper :

It's already a shocker as is that you could even get him to hang out with you. It would probably just be you sitting beside him while he plays his pinball game

You : Dude can we just go to an arcade or something, they have a pinball game there too

Vance : go by yourself if you're so miserable hanging out with me

Ofcourse if you ever want to go somewhere else with this dude you would either have to have the guts to drag him away from his pinball game or ask him another time when he isn't playing it. Though he's a stubborn bastard, I can imagine thats theres never a dull moment with him. This dude doesn't have a curfew or strict parents at all so he goes wherever he wants whenever he wants. Meaning, he'd probably yell at you to go with him somewhere you never know where ofcourse but it's always so fun anyways so it makes up for it

paperboy :

Bike rides ofcourse, I also think he'd be the type to have like a schedule to say when he's free. Like it could be like a Saturday but he'll still have something to do, whether it'd be chores or giving out the daily news papers. Ofcourse you usually help him and you guys do it so well together it's kinda scary. Like you guys are so in-sync while doing these chores it terrifies his parents. When you guys finish he probably puts on some music while you guys do whatever, I can imagine that his parents are usually at work 24/7 giving him freedom over the house till around 6:00pm. He probably goofs off whenever he has absolutely nothing to do

Hey Bestie 🖤 I thought about a Valek scenario. I would absolutely love to know how he would propose to us. I think it would be much more different than other TIG characters. Would you do that for me please? 🥺Take all the time you need Bestie. Love you 🖤🖤🖤

Of course I will write this for you bestie 😊 it will be my pleasure, I hope you enjoy, Love you too 💚💚💚

Ever since you had known Valek, you knew he was a real softie. Around his followers and subjects he was dark, and appeared to be quite scary at points, he was the very first and strongest vampire after all. But behind that mask he portrayed, he could be himself around you. You were his life mate, even though you were human, he loved you with every fibre of his being. He adored you, worshiped the ground you walked on and never went a day or night without telling you he loved you. You loved him with all your heart, and always felt so safe with him, despite of what he is. You had both discussed your future together, you didnt have friends or family in the human world, so being away from other humans didnt really bother you.

Most vampires you met had more morals and manners than most humans you had ever been around. When you both discussed what you wanted, the talk of 'turning' came up. You wanted to become a vampire like him, but not yet. You wanted to wait until you turned 30, the same age Valek was when be became a vampire. You had another 4 years ahead of you, and in those years you could explore and see everything you wanted to see around the world that included being in daylight. Valek was hundreds of years old, and was also richer than anyone you had ever known. Being his life mate meant he wanted to spoil you and give you everything you needed to travel and experience what you wanted to. You felt a little guilty at first, using his money to go and enjoy yourself without him. But he did point out to you that you were giving your life to become a vampire like him when the time was right.

He told you that choosing to spend the rest of eternity with him was all the repayment he could ever desire, just having the woman he loved by his side forever. So for now, you were human, and couldn't be around him in the daylight. But neither of you minded, because you were a night person, and Valek of course was a vampire. The last few days Valek had been acting a little strange, he would have sneaky conversations with his friend, and wouldnt let you in on what was going on, it was all very secretive. One night, Valek comes into your shared bedroom and sits beside you as your sat up against the bed reading a book. "My darling, I have a suprise for you" "A suprise? Hmm? Is it a garlic based dish you cooked up?" You asked playfully, making Valek chuckle to himself.

"You always know how to make me smile my love" "Its a super power of mine" "One of your many powers. Now come with me my beautiful treasure" he takes you lovingly by the hand and leads you out to the black limo parked up outside his large black mansion. He opens the door for you like a gentleman and holds your hand as you take a seat. Getting in after you, the driver takes you both for a ride, it's about 20 minutes before he stops. "We are hear my dear" He gets out of the car first, then opens your door and again gives you his hand as he helps you out. It seems that you had arrived at what looks like an abandoned national park, during the day it would be full of colourful flowers and smells of cut grass, but at night, it seemed to have a peaceful stillness in the air.

"Where are we Valek? Its pitch black out hear" "All will be revealed my treasure" He holds your hand and you walk together over the grass, unable to see much infront of you, luckily your boyfriend had night vision. It was another few minutes before you turned a corner past a few trees and right before you is a small area of green grass, covered in little candles all placed along the floor in the shape of a heart. Inbetween each candle lies a red rose, making it look absolutely beautiful. In the trees around you were many fairy lights shaped like little diamonds and above you the moon was full and very bright, but not bright enough to outshine the stars, that sparkled in the sky. You and Valek walk into the rose and candled heart, and you cant belive how beautiful it is. "Oh Valek, this is beautiful! Did you do this?" "I did my darling, it's my suprise to you" your not looking at Valek as you say this, your busy looking at the beauty around you. And Valek is happy your distracted, because that gave him the couple of seconds he needed, to get down on one knee behind you.

"Why did you go to so much-" when you turn to face him, your words cut short, as you see him on his knee and reaching into his black cape, slowly pulling out a little black box, a smile beaming on his face. "Oh my god Valek...." "Y/N, my beautiful treasure, I love you with every breath I take. When I finaly found you, I felt like I was brought back to life. For so long I was alone, frightened. Not just of the world I was in, but myself. Falling in love with you has changed me, you saved me Y/N. I'm no longer frightened of the world, because my whole world is right infront of me, and it's more unique and beautiful than I could ever have imagined" His fingers run over the top of the box, slowly pulling up the lid and revealing an engagment ring, with a beautiful ruby. "Y/N, my soul mate, my beautiful darling. Will you do me the honour, of becoming my wife?"

Your heart feels like it's about to explode, you had never felt more loved, more wanted and you were finaly going to marry your bestfriend and love of your life. "Yes Valek! Yes I'll marry you!" He smiles wide and jumps up to hold you in a passionate embrace, sharing with you one of the most tender and beautiful kisses you had ever experienced. You were both smiling so much as he takes the ring out and places it on your finger, it was the perfect size, and it was so beautiful. You couldn't help yourself, you pulled him in for another kiss, this one much longer and more passionate. You stayed in that moment for as long as you could with him, all while the candles burned, the moon shone and the stars sparkled bright above you both.

Wrote a Vandergerd fic in which Irma is a useless they/them who is trying to propose for 1400 words hope you enjoy!

Or you can read it on AO3

https://archiveofourown.org/works/40882476

Irma was going through a crisis.

Well, not like a physical crisis, it was summer so there weren’t any blizzards or anything, and it wasn’t really a mental crisis either, not the kind where one quits their job and shaves their head or whatever, but in Irma’s mind it was a crisis.

They had a ring in their purse that she was going to use to propose to their girlfriend, Vivian. And they were really fucking scared to do so.

The two of them had been dating for almost five years now, so a proposal wasn’t totally unexpected, neither was marriage, Irma was pretty sure Vivian wanted to get married anyway, but goddamn the act of proposing was scary.

They had been trying to do it for weeks now and always chickened out, but today they were going to do it, no exceptions. They and Vivian were spending the whole day together, walking, shopping, seeing a movie, eating at Viv’s favorite restaurant…there was no way Irma could not propose by the end of the day. Or maybe the ring box would fall out of their purse and make it a lot easier.

Viv was up bright and early, wearing this adorable floral dress that would look so pretty in the pictures of their proposal…

If Irma could stop being a useless lesbian and get around to doing the damn thing.

They got ready and walked with their girlfriend to the train station. It was a short trip to the nearest big city, and they sat next to each other, hands clasped and resting in Irma’s lap, looking out the window at the fields. The fields that would be super pretty to get proposed to in front of…

Could Irma propose right there? On the train? Get it over with and spend the rest of the day with their fiancee instead of girlfriend?

They reached for the ring box, trying not to let Vivian notice. They grabbed it, took a deep breath, and-

A group of kids ran through the aisle, bumping into Irma’s arm and making them drop the ring box onto the floor.

“Hey,” they exclaimed. “Who knit ya?!”

Vivian laughed at her partner sounding like a Newfoundland grandpa and said, “It’s okay, baby, they’re just kids.”

Irma scrambled for the ring box and threw it back in their purse before looking at Viv and saying, “Yeah, I know. I just didn’t want them to interrupt your peaceful train ride.”

“Aww,” the brunette replied. “Well, we’re about to have an entire peaceful day, so it’s okay, but thanks for caring.”

“Yeah,” they said. “No problem.”

The train arrived at their stop soon after, and Irma chided themself for missing the opportunity to propose. Well, they still had an entire day. And a second class cabin on a train wasn’t the most romantic location anyway.

They had breakfast at a cafe, Irma nervously fidgeting with the box then hiding it when Vivian looked their way the entire time, then walked along the main street, looking for interesting stores to shop at. Vivian admired an antique couch, and Irma vowed to buy it as a wedding present.

If they could work up the courage to propose.

They stopped at a cat cafe. All the cats flocked to Vivian, and she was perfectly fine with that, cooing over and petting them all while Irma sipped their coffee and looked nervously at their purse. The ring box was in there, taunting them, with its dusty little velvet cover and box-ness and the fact that it contained the physical symbol of their desire to propose to their girlfriend.

Vivian sadly said goodbye to all the cats, and the two of them kept walking. They shopped at a few vintage stores and thrift shops, then got takeout and sat in the park to eat it, a poor person’s picnic but one that still made their lesbian hearts patter.

A park was the perfect place for a proposal. It was a beautiful park too, with grass and trees and benches and walking trails and a pond and everything, with a cute archway that they could stand under to take engagement pictures. The two of them could get engaged in a beautiful place then spend the second half of the day in newly-engaged bliss. It was perfect.

Except Irma was utterly paralyzed in fear, and before long Vivian was finished eating and ready to continue exploring the city. Irma nodded and walked with her, mentally cursing every higher power out there for cursing them with anxiety and useless lesbian-ness and an undying love for Vivian that proposing might jeopardize. Even if the odds of it going badly were very, very low, they were still odds, and Irma just didn’t want to risk it.

As they walked to the movie theater, Irma made attempts to mind control Vivian into proposing first, but none of them worked by the time they sat down. They were one of two groups in the theater, the other being a family with very annoyed looking kids, and Irma sighed. Their plans of proposing during the movie and slinking into the shadows never to be seen again if she said no were dashed.

They held hands throughout the whole movie, Vivian’s thumb delicately stroking Irma’s, and the Newfoundlander looked at that more than they did the movie. The action was so small, yet so wholesome, so meaningful, so fucking precious that it made Irma want to scream.

The movie finished, and the two of them walked hand in hand to Vivian’s favorite restaurant. They sat on the rooftop patio, drinking mojitos as the sun went down. Vivian looked so happy as she ate her sushi, and she would look even happier with an engagement ring around her finger, but her partner couldn’t get their fucking act together…

Nope. They were getting this done. Right now.

They went to the bathroom, splashed water on their face, then straightened their shoulders and walked with purpose back to the table.

Before Vivian could see, Irma found their waitress and gave her their phone with the instruction to follow them back to the table and film something. The waitress nodded and followed them.

“Welcome back, baby,” Vivian greeted. She looked at the waitress, then back at Irma and asked, “What’s this?”

Irma nodded at the waitress, and she started recording.

“Vivian Vanderpuss,” Irma said, trying and failing to control the shakiness of their voice. “You are the most wonderful and beautiful and loving and caring and understanding girlfriend I have ever had-”

They fiddled for the ring box as Vivian looked at them with an unreadable facial expression.

“And I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you,” they continued. “So, if you would do me the honor.”

The ring box slipped out of their hands, and they fumbled it around like a hot potato before slapping it onto the table.

“Of being my wife.”

Vivian stared, agape, at the ring box laying haphazardly on the table, then at her partner, then back at the ring box.

“Yes,” she muttered.

Irma’s eyes widened and they looked at her.

“Yes,” Vivian exclaimed. “Yes yes yes yes and yes!”

She got up and hugged Irma, burying her face in their shoulder, and the Newfoundlander’s ribs were getting crushed but they couldn’t feel anything other than pure bliss at the fact that they were getting married!

They kept hugging until the waitress awkwardly placed the phone on the table and walked away, and the partners remembered that they were at a restaurant and not literally on cloud nine. The other patrons of the restaurant were applauding, and Vivian kissed Irma before sitting down again.

The ring fit perfectly on her finger, and she spent the rest of the night admiring it, showing it off to every single person at the restaurant, on the street, in the train car.

“We’re engaged,” she breathed. “We’re getting married.”

“I can’t believe it.”

“How long has that box been sitting in your purse?”

“Weeks,” they admitted.

“My god, did you really think I was going to say no?”

“Did you really think I’m a human who acts rationally?”

“Okay, fair enough.”

They laughed, and light glinted off Viv’s ring, drawing Irma’s eyes to it.

“We’re engaged,” they said. “We’re getting married.”

“That’s what being engaged means,” she joked. “Now, do you think the cats can be bridesmaids or are they gonna meow too much-”

For your asks: Steamed latte, warm mocha, steamed espresso

Lave...thank you very much for the ask, but i cannot at all find a, "Steamed latte" there's a cinnamon latte!! ....yeah I'm not seeing steamed lattte I'm sorry. But!! I'll just go ahead and answer theses! Cinnamon latte: Would you ever want to dye your hair? if you have before, what color was it and why? Ahhh...I've thought about it lots! I've always wanted to dye my hair, but my mom wont let me, she's always talking about how "Beautiful and natural it is" and stuff... But I've wanted to a few time! Or use chalk stuff to colour it!! No clue what colour, but I've defitnly thought about dying it! Warm mocha: Would you rather be in a sunny field of flowers and grass, or would you rather be in an ambient cafe with rain outside? Ahhh....I love the rain, but i hate getting caught in it, and walking in it, and i love a good cafe, but i much prefer to be at my home when it's raining, or something. So definitely the flower field! I've always wanted to go to a flower field and lay down in it, and have some soup in a thermos and drink it, like its that nice cool little chilly day but the sun was and your in a spring field but it's still chilly form the crisp of the winter, and its so nice and pretty, and stuff. Steamed expresso: Do you like roller coasters and other thrill rides at amusement parks? why or why not? I fucking hate roller coasters....They terrify me, i get anxiety on them, i can only go on ones that are one big circle. Like the swings that go in the air, the carousels, the one where you like spin really fast and stuff...i only go on "Circle" rides... I can't really tell you why i hate most roller coasters, or thrill rides, I'm just not that big on things and always get called whiney but like i just don't like them! They're scary! Im very much a, slow small rides kinda person, carousel enjoyed, and food, and games person fun house kinda guy at amusement parks or the fair. The fair is wild, but also i used to be SO good about roller coasters because we went every year, and then i stopped going, and my "Roller coaster/thrill" tolerances depleted and now I'm terrified of them again. Thanks for the ask Lave! It was real fun other than my panic of not being able to find a steamed latte!! i..still didn't see it I'm sorry.. But thank you bunches!!!

#i have failed you i coudlnt find the steamed latte... #but thanks for hte ask!!!!

hihihi today's reminder is 1. how was your birthday? i hope you had so much fun!! 2. when will i ever learn not to read/watch true crime stuff before bed?

Hii, my birthday was great, most of the things I ordered came on my birthday. I ordered a pink juicy velour skirt, a pastel rainbow fair isle velour hoodie and they both came really early so I got to wear them. I went on like a little date I guess with a guy Ive known for a few years. It was nice we ended up going to a park, we sat in the grass and talked for a long time, and I swung on swings for the first time since I was a kid it was so fun. He was really sweet but like would apologize for making advances or asking me to do things then feel bad. Like he'd say things like you should have an onlyfans and you submit easily then right after apologize and say he shouldn't be treating me like that. I was receptive to advances and was okay with but he kept doing that back forth very confusing but I realized the story I'm currently writing like the main character isn't just loosely based on my I really act like that which is kinda scary I didn't even realize it. Anyway it ended weirdly but the Uber ride was nice. I like taking Uber alone at night in the city plus there was frank Sinatra playing and the driver was cute it felt like I was in a rom-com. Then today my best friend and I went shopping, I had got her a few hello kitty things and I was so happy she loved them. I also gave her a picture I took of her at McDonald's a few years ago, as well as threw in an extra picture of myself. Which only a Leo would give someone a picture of themselves on their own birthday. But bath & body works had a great sale and my friend and I wore matching outfits but she looked like a strawberry gingham cupcake and I looked like a cupcake stripper. pink & white but just with different vibes. And I got a dollhouse and two dolls. One my friend bought me and it was delivered while I was gone and she's way too sweet I love her so much. She got me the doll I almost put my groceries back to buy. But she got her for me and I cant even believe it's been a great birthday weekend. I was crying all week and I just feel so happy.

I understand the appeal, you think you can handle but 9 times out of ten you cannot handle it. Just flood your mind with happy things before you fall asleep to wash out all of true crime. I like to play arial landscape videos of Ireland as I sleep.

[midnightmisadventures]

Had a dream where bff was dating Zeth....

but like maybe it wasnt zeth but it was. I went over to hangout and meet him and he was amazing, and i wanted to feel jealous but i was happy for bff. 

Bff was explaining that when they started dating she was confused as to literally why he liked her like she was like, he loves being active, running, biking, hiking, and she hates all those things but he was still into her and didnt care. And she was basically saying, hes so hot and nice and cool and out of her league but for some reason he still likes her. 

And i was like bff, youre great don’t worry about ti. But then i met him, and i was like omg he’s amazing. I wanna marry him lol not to be rude but.....i see where shes coming from. 

And he had a big truck, with a bike always attached to it. And he was really nice and gentlemen like to me. He was zeth. We would be riding in the truck and he was like speeding down the highway with the and open the door and stand up while driving like WOOOOOO and i was like omg! like it felt so dangerous but so fun and freeing. I think thats what i was a little jealous of, like he was just so cool and adventerous and i wasnt sure if bff appreciated that. 

Like we almost crashed sometimes and i was so nervous, but he always had control of it. He was so spontaneous lol

We went to dinner? or something and then after we were driving around before we had to drop bff off at dogs to work. And he was riding through his childhood neighborhood and explaining stuff. And then he was like i used to get ice cream right here and then we saw the truck and he did a 180 and tire skid turned around for us to park and get ice cream. 

It was like a ice cream/magic shop. And it was mobile but you could go inside and order and sit. Like a small little room. And we went, and again he was being really sweet and offered to pay for both of us. And he went to the bathroom and bff and i were sitting there and all of a sudden. RON is there with friends, and he can clearly see us, its a small room but its so awkward, and i was like he he its kinda cool being here with zeth like idk he gives off cool vibes. I was also thinking “would this have the same effect if it was Liam hm” but i wasnt sure if ron had already seen liam and he wouldnt be a “new face” 

But i was picturing if Liam and i were on double dates with bff and zeth like that would be fun right? But i tried not to think about it cause it the dream it seemed far fetched that Liam and i would ever actually date. 

Then fucking alpha was there?? it felt like so many people from our past was in this tiny ass ice cream shop and bff and i kept making jokes like wooo its so hot in here, like geesh theres so many peoppleeeee 

Anyways, we paid and left and when we went out it was sooo dark and scary and there was a guy lurking and being creepy and weird. So zeth was like hold on, im gonna go check this guy out. So he grabbed his bike off his car and was trying to lure him away from us but also get a closer look. 

And bff was like “stay here, he’s gonna check if he’s a bad guy” like trying to explain to me what he’s doing like im stupid but also just so she could brag about the fact that he was so protective and strong oooo, he does this all the time for her oooo. And i was like OKAY i get it, your boyfriends perfect, and fun, and protective of women and thats hot. lmao 

But things got out of hand because people started chasing us, and i couldnt find the truck. We all got separated, and suddenly i was running and terrified. But we were on the steepest incline grassy hill. So trying to avoid the creepy guy was exhausting because i was trying to run away from people i thought was bad but it was up and down and up and down the steepest hill. In the darkness, literally gripping the grass to keep from falling when it was completely vertical at times. 

Insane.

We made it out and was safe and everything

Thats pretty much it...,

REEL FEELS: Days 6,7,8

The industrial park was taken on day 6, just off in the distance near the dispensary I frequent. The fact the lights are so far away, with a green tint for a reason I can't fully understand because I'm not some sort of magical scientist. It was pure nightfall, and I took the picture while we were at a stop light.

This stretch of road pictured, or at least about 2 blocks up, was a place where a small miracle occurred when I was in my 20s. I had just left my first husband, I had a bus pass and that was all. I decided to go to DHS to apply for aid and maybe get some help, but when I arrived I found the building locked.

Back then it's important to note that I was hypoglycemic, and would pass out if I didn't eat in a reasonable amount of time. Being a broke-ass bitch, a "reasonable amount of time" began to stretch and stretch. My body had informed me under no uncertain terms that I had reached that point, and shortly I would pass out if I didn't get my act together.

I had the following items on me: My bus pass, my wallet with my identification anddddd... End of list

So, as I make my way to the bus stop, feeling pretty defeated as I had taken time off of work and also away from school to get this errand done, I realized I had no money. I was in total panic, nearly a complete autistic meltdown.

It was starting to get kinda scary. As I arrived at the bus stop, I sat down on the grass, and I felt something odd under one of my legs like I had sat on some paper or something so I pulled it out and found 2 whole dollars.

Back then, 2 bucks still wasn't a lot of money. It was enough to get a pretzel at the mall, though. So, I waited for a bus for a while and it never did pick me up. After what felt like an eternity my then-boyfriend secured a ride to me in order to pick me up.

My next step was going to be walking to the next nearest bus stop another half mile north of where I was. If I had done that, I probably would have ended up laying around on the side of the road. The miracle was that finding the 2 bucks was enough to interrupt the constant dread roll (tm) running in my head enough to refocus and reinvent a new solution. I realized once I was calmer that I DID have my cell on me. I was able to call and get a ride.

When I get overwhelmed, I think about that moment and how there was a choice I could have made. Being independent or asking for help, I chose the latter.

Later this skill saved my life. My husband and I, for one of our first adventures together went up north, Like, well out of cell range up north. Like "Bear in the sauna" up north.

We decided to Kayak on a cooler day in Lake Superior

Long story made very short, we capsized twice in 40-degree water, we were both freezing, tired, cold, and frustrated. He turned to me and said "welp, we are never getting out of here. No way in hell, we're going to die here!"

and, I don't like to use sharp tones with people, I don't like to yell or make a fuss, but I walked up to him in bare feet on the rock-covered beach and yelled in his face "Look buddy, either you're going to help me get out of this situation myself, or you're going to sit here by yourself, so I suggest you get to work on helping me come up with a solution." and that was just the proverbial slap in the face he needed to help me out of the situation. Together we waded into the hypothermia-infested waters, dragged the kayak, now filled with water to shore. Then, slowly dragging the kayak onto shore, we emptied it.

My sandals, his glasses and his older "boat" shoes are now at the bottom of Lake Superior somewhere off the coast of Union Bay.

But it was that 2 dollars that taught me how to interrupt myself.

Day 7: The frayed Cat 5 cable

In IT, most of our solutions are pretty simple. It's pretty binary, it works, or it doesn't work. Where grey fuzzies happen are things like this cable you see here. Technically, it's in one piece, but because it's ripped open, the insulation that keeps all of the extra interference out of the cable, decreasing the signal-to-noise ratio.

This, as you can imagine causes some rather major issues if left to fester. You've got your packet loss (Internet ate my homework), you've got your downstream and upstream not really operating as a separate entity (the 2 way road has a big 5 car pile up in the middle of it that everyone has to just, go around,) and from time to time the world just "disappears" because the interference gets strong enough to actually interfere.

Recently, while trying to image a computer, we noticed that the instructions weren't being picked up.

My colleague didn't suspect this cable right away. But I did. Over the next few days, the taped-down cable came loose like this, where the issue was apparent. Once it was replaced, we got slightly better speeds and such. But it's a reminder that nothing is as it seems. Sometimes the small things become the big things. Don't ignore an issue when it's small, because you may avoid a much larger issue later!

Day 8: The spell

I don't think I've been too shy about saying I'm a witch on here, but hey, howdy yeah, Hi. I'm a pagan intuitive witch. I just kind of wait for my ancestors or whomever to whisper in my ear and tell me what to do, and boom I do it and it works.

To that end, recently some of my closest friends at work have come down with Covid. They both work in the same office together so it's not a super duper surprise. But it was within just a few days of one another. Meanwhile, work friend number 3, a guy about my daughter's age is working in that office too, but as of now has no symptoms or signs.

So I reached out to the chappy yesterday and asked how things were going as the last man standing. He just laughed and said AND my girlfriend seems to have RSV potentially, maybe? Maybe the flu? All I know it's coming from all sides for me! I said, it sounds like I'd better light you a candle, are you ok with that?

He said yes. So here is the intuitive candle I made from old Melissa oil, some rosemary, and an orange candle to seal it.

So far, he's holding on and hasn't yet gotten sick. I told him not to lick any doorknobs. He said he'd *try*

Anyhow, now that i'm up to date, it's time to forget I'm doing this for like 3 or 4 more days.

Finishing Up the Great Divide Basin - Rawlins, WY

Today the guys finished up the Great Divide Basin, walking the final 7 miles southward into Rawlins. It has been cold and windy, make that VERY windy. When I dropped them off a couple of days ago it was snowing and Tom actually had to put pants on for the first time! Even though it was freezing outside, I did stop on my drive back to Rawlins to check out the Split Rock Historical Site. I didn’t hike any of the trails, but I spent a few minutes reading the signs and taking in the views. Beautiful area, but too cold for me today!

The guys have completed 700+ miles of the CDT! Things seem to be going along fairly well, in terms of how their bodies and spirits are holding up. They had several encounters with wild horses along this portion of the CDT - they both were pretty impressed with that experience.

While the guys were out on the trail, I kept busy with errands and restocking. I had a little excitement at the campground one evening. I was fixing dinner and I looked out the window and saw 3 guys walking by my trailer with a shovel, a hose, and a fire extinguisher. I popped open the door to see what was up and one of the guys said, “Do you know that there is a fire behind your trailer?” Sure enough, a couple of kids were lighting fireworks and caught the grass on fire. Luckily, there are a large number of young guys living in this RV park and they came to the rescue, along with the owners of the park. Another fortunate piece, the wind was blowing away from the RV park. It took the volunteer fire department about 30 minutes to show up, by that time the gang from the RV park had put it out with shovels and water. A little scary to have it so close, but grateful for the quick response of all these folks!

One of the days the guys were out on the trail, I made a grocery run to Walmart. I am standing in the produce department and I hear this guy say, “What are you doing in Rawlins, Wyoming?” and I look up and realize this guy is talking to me. He is walking over to me with a big smile on his face.....I don’t know ANYONE who lives in Rawlins and I don’t recognize this guy at all. So, I say, “Excuse me, do I know you?” He backs up and slows down and starts to apologize for thinking I am someone else, when a gal joins him and I realize that these are a couple of CDT hikers that we had spent time with in New Mexico. I just didn’t recognize them without their sunglasses, hats, and packs on! We caught up on everyone’s progress and plans, finished up our shopping, and then I gave them a ride back to their hotel. Always fun to run into people!

Tomorrow morning we are leaving Rawlins, heading through Yellowstone National Park. Due to snowy conditions, the guys have decided to by-pass that portion of the trail and head up to Whitehall, MT and hope that the trail is free of snow in that area. The weather forecast for this area calls for snow tomorrow, glad we are heading out and that Doug will be driving!

Our stay here at Red Desert Rose Campground has been very nice. The people in the office were helpful and kind. The bathrooms were the cleanest we have experienced in all of our stays over the past 10 years! We would definitely come back for another stay!

Exploring - or the American Horror Stories*

As already mentioned in my last post, Talia and Will left Angie and me alone in the wilderness. It was dark and loud (a buzzing sound of night active animals communicating with each other) outside and having been warned about the poisonous snakes, we did not dare to stay outside for longer than necessary.

I woke up pretty early the next day and since Angie was still asleep, I decided to explore the surroundings a little on my own. No risk, no fun, I guess. Don’t you worry about me though, the frightful nightimals had gone to bed and the daylight made sure I could run away from any snake without crashing into the next tree (or bear) because of the dark.

So, courageously and with shaking knees, I made my way out of the cabin and on to the gravel... of the parking lot.

A few steps in, I got a pretty good feeling of what we’ve gotten us into by saying we were fine living on camp. You should know, the camp is in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nothing but the woods and nature as such. You can see how that is scary, especially if you’re in a foreign country, have no way of transportation (at the moment) and don’t speak the language. Which, on the other hand does not matter anyway, since we were alone at camp (except for the dangerous wild-life) and couldn’t even try to make ourselves understood if we wanted to. How could our so-called friends do this to us, and just leave us behind?! Thank you!

Well, as I made my way forward off the gravel and on to the grass, it turned out, we should really be thankful! The camp site is beautiful, there are vast amounts of space, a lake to swim or do other water activities in, a camp fire area, tennis courts, 18 holes of disc golf, horses to go riding with and just beautiful nature. Safe to say, first impressions are not always what they seem. 

Still not conviced, however, that I am entirely safe on my own, I returned to the cabin and waited for Angie to get up. She eventually did, when we discovered that the power went out and we had no way of contacting our friends to save us. They probably arranged that to prolonge the state of slight horror when being left alone in the wilderness. Or they just wanted to get rid of us. Or I’m justing adding drama to the story to fulfil your expectations of this post’s title. You may choose, whichever sounds most reasonable to you.

As it turns out, my fear of being abondend in the middle of nowhere was completely irrational (who would have thunk it?) as Talia and Will turned up with breakfast pretty soon. We had buns and scones of different sorts for breakfast and then went on a little tour around camp. Coming back to the part where I said we were alone, I lied. Will’s relatives are around as well and just the friendliest of people making sure we have everything. I’d say all’s good up here!

After our little tour we drove to Brevard, which is a small city nearby and did some more exploring. We looked into a few shops, one of them being a shop where you can get shirts and mugs and whatever you can think of with a white squirrel on it. The white squirrel is the landmark of brevard and rumour has it, white squirrels also exist (Angie already saw one, so I guess it’s not just a rumour).

Later on we went to Will’s parents’ place where Talia and Will are staying and met the Parents (serious stuff, right?). Will’s parents, lets call them Bestie and Charmer, welcomed us in the friendliest and most joyful way you could imagine and invited us into their home like a duck takes to water (yeah, I googled that one) - it was heartwarming. If not already before, this was the moment, where all the horror (mind the pinch of salt! and no, I did not google that one) we had to endure before had vanished (for now). We then all prepped dinner together and spent a lovely evening, before it was time for Angie and I to get back to camp and call it a day. We got Will’s car to drive back and after a short briefing on directions (right-left-right, it’s as simple as that), we got into the car and off we were.

Off we were into the next adventure, that is. Quite frankly, we took a wrong turn - once or twice and then even more. We got to the point where we had to admit we’d gotten lost and did not know where to go no more. It felt like it had before: we were in the middle of nowhere - no navigational system in the car, no maps, no nothing. We had no other choice but to switch on the internet on our phone and have us navigate back to civilisation. Having done that, we were on track to camp and switched off the internet again, because there’s cheaper things in life than to use the internet in a foreign country. Lesson learned here: do not, and I repeat, do not think you’re safe when you think you’re on the right way. At some point a nice little intersection will hit you in your face and you will not know if you should turn left or right (for the smarty-pants around you, no there were no signs pointing us in any direction). What do you do in a moment like that? Correct, you take out your phone and turn on the navigational system again. Well, if that only worked. No reception (goes without saying, we were in the middle of nowhere again - sort of), what to do? We decided to go back to where we came from, because we knew we had had reception earlier. We drove, and drove and drove, but the phone did not seem to find us. So we stopped. In the dark. At an abandoned gas station. Nobody was on the streets, nobody there we could ask for directions. Nothing! Suddenly somebody pulled up at the gas station. Yikes, we’re doomed! Angie, being a super hero, went over to the guy and asked him for help. This is where my mind started playing tricks on me. We had entered the perfect setting for a horror movie! Any time soon something bad was bound to happen. To keep my mind off things, I watched Angie talking to the guy through the rear mirror of the car until the point where I could not see her gesturing anymore. I thought she was already coming around the car and looked into the other mirrors. But she was gone! I checked the rear mirror again - no one there. I checked the other side mirror again - found her. Thank God! She then came back to the car, unharmed and knew exactly where we had to go. What a relief! So I turned on the engine and we drove back towards the intersection we’d already been at before. Half way in, I noticed the check engine light had gone on. Seems like we needed a little more drama for the night. I pulled over and tried to call Will to ask what to do. It rang and rang and rang, but the good Sir did not pick up his phone. All I got was a louzy voice mail asking me to leave a message. The hell I will, I need to talk to you and get you to save us! Angie, being Angie also had Bestie’s number written down, so we tried calling her. Three guesses what happend. Right, it went straight to voice mail. Next try: call Talia. Yeah, you’re right - voice mail. What now? Ignore the check engine light and go home. Seems like at this point we’d consumed all the excitement needed for the day and made it home with no further problemos.

In the end, we got to bed safe and sound for our well earned sleep. Which, as you already know, did not last too long for me as Mr. Jetlag decided to wake me up at 3:30 a.m and wouldn’t let me sleep anymore and made me start this blog. You may thank Mr. Jetlag for this one. If you don’t like what you read, I blame Mr. Jetlag.

Aaaanyway, it’s time to get up now! Don’t you worry though, this is to be continued.

*it all might sound worse than it was, and I might have exaggereted here or there to keep you on your toes.

Double Dating

A Mitsuhide Akechi fanfic, approx. 1800 words. This scene occurs well after the events of the romantic epilogue when Mitsuhide, Sasuke, Miyake, and MC are wormholed to the future.

First: Mitsuhide and the Maiden

Previous: Middle Ground

Mitsuhide did not know what an amusement park was. Park - yes, amusement - again, yes. Put the two together and he found himself picturing a stretch of grass full of laughing people. That was he thought of when his little mouse suggested they 'go somewhere' for a day or two. Just for fun.

That was not this. This mass of milling people, the smell of cooking food, and the distant roar of mechanized attractions. It reminded him of a festival, if he had to call it something.

His little one clutched his hand tightly, as if afraid they might get separated in the milieu. Her smile was bright, excited. “That,” she pointed at one huge circular contraption, “is a ferris wheel. And those are swings. And that’s a, well, they call it a pirate ship but it’s nothing like that. It just goes back and forth. And there, that’s the rollercoaster.”

He nodded at each one, “Excellent. And these are for entertainment. Show me how they work.”

“I’m afraid that would take more time than we have here today,” Sasuke spoke up. “Rather than explain, it is my hypothesis that you’ll best understand through experience.”

“It will be fun.” She grinned ever wider.

Miyake looked around suspiciously. “I dunno. It looks like the whole point of these things is to put you in the air. People aren’t supposed to be in the air like that.”

“Are you afraid?” Mitsuhide couldn’t help his teasing tone.

“Of course not! It’s just - ya know. Not natural.” The warrior shoved his hands into his pockets.

“In that case, my little mouse, what is the highest ride you have here? The one that goes up the furthest?”

“Hm, probably The Tower? I never rode on that one though. It looks really scary.”

“Then we will do that one first.”

Sasuke opened his mouth, perhaps to disagree, but closed it again. He set off toward The Tower, beckoning the others.

Mitsuhide heard it before he saw it. Screaming. Laughter. How strange to hear them together. Then he spotted it. A blue needle that pointed skyward, and on it, little yellow carts that dropped and rose again.

Miyake’s eyes went wide. “You have got to be kidding me.”

“It is completely safe,” Sasuke reassured him. “There hasn’t been an accident on this ride in years.”

“Years?” The warrior paled.

“Come on, Miyake. It’s safer than a battlefield.” Mitsuhide led them into the line that wound toward the ride. It didn’t take long to get to the front.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” The chatelaine eyed the tower, her fingers tightening on his hand.

Mitsuhide squeezed back. “If you get scared, you can lean on me.”

They boarded and got buckled in. Miyake tugged at the harness. “Is this the only thing keeping me from falling? This?”

Sasuke nodded. “The straps are extremely effective. You’ll see.”

“I’d rather no-aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” Miyake’s reply turned to a shriek as the ride rose. He stopped when it went still.

Mitushide would never admit it, but his heart was racing. This . . . amusement . . . was interesting. In this time, people frightened themselves for fun. The sensation of being lifted like this was incomparable to anything he’d lived through, but the rush of adrenaline reminded him of battle. The crystal-sharp clarity of the moment. Pulse pounding. Every breath precious.

Beside him, his little mouse gasped. “The view! This is amazing!” And she was right. He’d been so caught up in the sensation that he hadn’t looked around. From this vantage point, the world spread out below them. The ocean glittered sapphire blue. The grass was rolling, emerald green, and the park around them a bustling grid of tiny people and little shops.

Then the cart dropped.

His stomach flipped, his equilibrium spun. For a moment, his whole body lifted as if weightless, held in only by the fabric straps of the harness.

Miyake silently gripped the handles of the bar in front of them, eyes clenched shut.

Sasuke’s expression was flat, but Mitsuhide thought he was enjoying himself. He gave very little away, beside the twitch of his cheek muscle, a slight widening of his eyes.

The chatelaine shrieked and then laughed, pure joy at the experience.

As the little cart rose again, Mitsuhide found himself joining her. Both of them laughing, hands clasped. This was fun. This almost-fear. Exciting. He thought he was beginning to understand where his lover was from. This world where people were so safe, they created things to be afraid of as entertainment.

The Tower finally ended and they exited the ride. Sasuke was almost-smiling, and the his little mouse was beaming. Only Miyake looked displeased.

“If I’m gonna feel like I’m falling, I want it to be because I’m actually falling,” he muttered.

Mitsuhide chuckled. “I take it you aren’t interested in the rollercoaster then? Or the ship?”

Miyake sighed. “If you go, I’ll follow you, my lord.”

“I didn’t expect you to be afraid of the rides,” the chatelaine said. She patted Miyake’s hand. “You know, there’s an aquarium to look at and some chil-ah, some rides that don’t go so high, or high at all! Maybe we should try those?”

Sasuke nodded. “I’ll take Miyake to the kid-ah, the shorter people rides.” He blinked both eyes several times as if trying to impart something.

“Sure. That sounds good. And maybe pick out a place for us to get a snack later?”

“Can do.” Sasuke gave her a mock-salute, then off he went with Miyake in tow.

Mitsuhide watched them go. “You sent him to the children’s rides? Why?”

“I think he’ll have more fun that way. Just don’t tell him they’re for little kids, ok?”

“I will keep your secret, on one condition.” Mitsuhide smiled down at her.

“What’s that?”

“You have to kiss me.”

She blushed. “Here and now?”

“Here and now.” He leaned closer. “Or are you afraid to-” He got no further in his taunt. She went up on tiptoe and pressed a kiss to his mouth. Not a shy one either. It left him breathless and in no doubt as to how much she’d missed him the last few nights.

“If you keep that up, I’ll be the only ride you take this afternoon,” Mitsuhide mock-threatened.

“Oh? Think you’re more exciting than a rollercoaster?” She raised an eyebrow, teasing him back.

“I don’t know - but I am sure you are.” He ran a finger along her palm.

It had the intended effect. Her face flushed and her eyes went wide. She was getting better at taunting him, but he knew how to get the better of her every time.

They rode the rollercoaster next, and it was worth it. Hanging upside down over the ocean, speeding through curves and down impossible hills. Mitsuhide imagined how Masamune would love this, and Hideyoshi telling him it was dangerous and unnecessary. Mitsunari would probably spend his day looking at the underside, and be able to tell him how it was built. And Ieyasu . . .

“What are you thinking about?”

“Home,” Mitsuhide admitted.

“Me too.” His little one leaned against him with a sigh. “I am so glad I can show all this to you, but I can’t help but miss everyone. I thought coming back would be like coming home . . . but I feel like a visitor. Everything is familiar, but, it’s different too. Like - like I don’t really belong here anymore.”

He hugged her close, nuzzling the top of her head. Inhaling the sweet smell of her. “Does that make you sad? That this isn’t your home anymore?”

“Yes. And no. I know I will miss my family, my friends, when we go back. But I don’t think I’ll miss them more than Nobunaga and Hideyoshi and, well, everyone. I keep wondering what they are up to and if they are ok.”

“I do as well.” He kissed the top of her head. “I am sure they are fine, and miss us too.”

“Yeah.” She smiled up at him, wiping her eyes. “We’re at an amusement park. Let’s not talk about sad things, ok?”

“Masamune would never forgive us for not enjoying the moment,” Mitsuhide smiled back. “So, what’s next?”

“Well . . . we could ride the ferris wheel?”

The two of them made their way toward the giant wheel, only to find Sasuke standing by himself nearby. Mitsuhide looked up at the little colorful cars swinging in the air. “Miyake is not up there.”

“Correct.” Sasuke gestured to a closed off arena to the right. “He’s in there. Bumper cars. I think this is his fifth round.”

“What is a bumper cars?” Mitsuhide asked over the sound of his little one’s laughter.

The ninja shrugged. “You get in a little car and try to smash against other little cars.” He looked toward the ride. “It is mostly full of teenagers and small children.”

Mitsuhide shook his head. “I suppose he found a battlefield he can handle.”

The chatelaine covered her mouth. “Ooh, Mitsu! That’s mean! Let him have his fun.” She gave him a look and then focused on Sasuke. “Did you find a good spot for a snack?”

“I did. I assumed the two of you would end up here so I waited. Would you like to get something to eat before or after your incredibly romantic ride in the ferris wheel?”

“After, I think.”

Mitsuhide turned to her. “Incredibly romantic?”

“Of course. It’s a common trope in media that when a couple rides in a ferris wheel, it’s a very romantic moment.” Sasuke adjusted his glasses.

“I see.” Mitsuhide pulled her toward the ride entrance. “Then that is something I want to experience with you.”

Masterlist

The soft glide of fingers over her shoulder rouses her. The fingers glide further over her neck before taking the same path back only to start again. Lightly chapped lips press against her shoulder. “Hey, sweetheart. Time to wake up.” Y/N only hums still on the verge of sleep, ready to let herself be dragged under again. “No, come on, baby.” The deep chuckle vibrates through her body. The hands that had gently run over her, now grip her a little harder and soon she feels herself manhandled onto a broad chest. Instinctively she snuggles into the warm body, head resting on its natural place on the chest, right under the chin. “Hey, no. No more napping. The others are waiting for us.”

“But comfy.” She whines, presses her head and body further onto the warm skin under her. “Nope. Come on. I have two options for you. Either you get up so I can pee and we get to eat lunch or you stay put, I pee on the bed and tickle you as long as it takes for you to pee yourself, too.”

“Bucky…”

“Your choice.” She grumbles a little, nuzzling her nose against the skin under her. “…First one.”

“Alright.” Bucky presses his lips against her forehead before he carefully shoves her off. “See you in a few minutes.” Then he’s gone. Y/N stays still on the mattress, only rolling a little to stare at the ceiling. She’s still a little tired. She came home late, together with Steve after they had to attend a small mission. She actually had to sneak into a building this time. The vents were full of dust and she swears she’s breathed in more of it than air. Missions always kick her ass, though. She’s going so rarely and when she does, she feels sore and tired afterward. How Steve managed to get up around 7 am is beyond her. The moment she hears the toilet flush she closes her eyes. “Baby girl, come on. I’m hungry.”

“Noo…” She whines again but startles the moments Bucky grabs her around the hips to throw her over his shoulders. “Fine, then I’ll carry you up like this.”

“No! Buck, I’m not wearing pants! Buck!” Well fuck. Bucky’s not listening just smirking and slapping her ass before he really starts walking out of their apartment. Getting carried into the common room only clad in panties and a long shirt from Steve is embarrassing. Her hair isn’t made either. Thankfully she only earns herself a strange look, a few smirks here and there. Steve seems to be the only one not looking amused. He has his eyebrows raised; arms crossed. Y/N only hangs like a defeated bag over Bucky’s shoulder hiding her face in her hands. Bucky gently sets her on Steve’s lap and she instantly goes to hide in his chest. “Hey.” He kisses her temple, gathers her in his arms, and presses her closer. While the others quickly go back to what they did Steve holds onto her, whispering softly. “What was that about?”

“Bucky is mean.” She starts pouting. “Didn’t want me to sleep any longer.” Steve snorts a little but his hand runs softly over her back. “You can nap with me later, yeah?” She continues pouting but nods. “How are you feeling? Still sore?”

“I’m fine but tired.”

“I don’t understand why you’re tired after missions. You change all the time. Is it the concentration that a mission brings?” Y/N only shrugs and snuggles closer into Steve, her own arms wrapping around his neck. “I don’t know.” They stay like that for a while. Y/N feels herself almost dosing off as Clint’s loud laugh startles her. “Never?!”

“No. It’s not like we had much money to do so.” Wanda shrugs, looking around. “Have you all done it?” A collective of yeses goes through the group. “Done what?” Y/N yawns and rubs her eyes. “Wanda has never ridden a horse.”

“What? Never?” Y/N looks at Wanda, a little shocked. “No, it’s not that big of a deal. I’m sure Steve and Bucky haven’t either.”

“Actually…” Bucky smiles at Wanda with a slight shrug. “My sister likes horses so I took her once to the zoo and she made me ride one too.” Wanda sighs as Clint pipes up again. “Even Tony has ridden a horse.”

“Oh, come on. He was five years old, that doesn’t count.” Tony only sips on his cup of coffee not even eyeing any of them as he listens to Bruce. Y/N turns to Steve. “Have you ever ridden one?”

“No, used to be allergic. Couldn’t get closer than a few hundred feet.”

“Unbelievable.” She shakes her head and jumps practically off Steve’s lap, her almost naked self forgotten. “Clint! You’re accompanying me! The rest is meeting us in two hours down by the lake!” She points at everyone, even at Bruce and Tony who looks confused, then grabs Clint by his collar and drags him behind her with minimal protests from him. She sees Steve and Bucky laugh, Wanda frown, and Nat smirk at Clint as they leave.

While they drive in town Y/N remembers why she never asks Clint to drive her. He’s like a starving man on his way to the next supermarket. They almost need the full two hours to buy what’s needed and not because Y/N is picky. Jesus, clint has some strong requirements on the stuff. But Y/N supposes he knows what he’s doing since he’s the one that owned horses. Back home She slips into the first room that’s empty and close to the entrance. Clint suggested some breeds to her that would fit with the brought equipment but Y/N is a week woman and concentrates on the one she finds beautiful. It takes a bit more time to change but soon she turned into a beautiful, light brown Norwegian fjord horse. She shakes herself a bit, lets her tail swig, and neighs silently for Clint to come in. He gets her fully ‘dressed’ with the blanket, saddle, halter, and rein before he leads her outside. Some employees look funnily at them, some smile but they both don’t pay them any mind. They stroll on but Clint suddenly stops. Y/N almost runs into him and snorts loudly. “Sorry, sorry. Can I get on?” Y/N nods eagerly. It’s been a long time since she carried someone around. As soon as Clint is on top she starts running around, slowly at first but then after. She feels the wind rush past her, her body pushing itself to the pastes pace possible. “Come on now, Y/N. The others are probably waiting.” She slows down, neighs again, and lets Clint lead her around until they can see the others. Some of them look slightly startled, Wanda even looks a bit scared. Steve and Bucky just look amazed and Tony is oddly hyped. Y/N stops right in front of them, shaking herself a little as Clint gets off. “Hi, Y/N.” Nat steps forward her hand stretched out, waiting for Y/N to butt her head against it. She sniffs at it first but then actually presses her noses against it and lets Nat stroke up and down. Bucky steps up as well, softly gliding his hand over her neck, cooing a little. Steve doesn’t step up to her but to Wanda. She looks pretty hesitant. Steve’s quick to grab one of her hands to squeeze it and whispers to her, probably to calm her down. “So, anyone wants a try?” Clint claps in his hand looking around. Surprisingly or not that surprising, since he looked hyped, Tony steps up and swings himself up into the saddle. He guides her around slowly trying to get a feeling but soon he’s dashing with Y/N over the grass and sand. One after another climb up in the saddle to run a few rounds around with her. Some are faster than others. Bucky denies it but feeds her apples in between her runs. Then it’s Wanda’s turn but she backs off as Y/N comes close, hiding behind Steve. “What’s wrong?” “S-she’s so big.” “Yeah, but it’s only Y/N. There’s no point in being afraid. You know her.” Steve tries to reassure her but Wanda backs off more. Y/N keeps an eye on her seeing her stare. She doesn’t seem quite afraid but neither does she seem comfortable. To not scare her off Y/N shuffles a little backward and walks up to Bucky. He immediately starts scratching her neck, cooing in her ears, and feeds her yet another apple Clint passes him. She stays a moment but soon runs off. Being a horse brings a feeling of freedom that she rarely feels. Somehow, it’s a whole different world and another freedom. It’s not comparable with the one she feels like a bird. It’s just… different. She runs around for a while, jumps here and there before she tires herself out. She tastes a bit from the grass around the compound but the apples were tastier so she trots back, hoping to get another one. She’s not coming far because Clint catches her halter. She snorts and neighs a little annoyed but follows him as he leads her a bit away from the others. She’s just starting to wonder where they are going as they reach a tree. “I’m just parking you here for a sec. Wait for me yeah?” She nods and watches as he tightens her reins on a thick branch. As if she would run away! But he still goes through with it and walks off only to return with Wanda in one hand and a basket in the other. “Clint, no. Please.” “Come on. Just pat her and give her an apple. She’s not as scary as you might think.” “No Plea-” Y/N cut ser off mid-sentence. She’s now close enough so Y/N steps forward and butts her head against her shoulder, gently and without nuzzling or nibbling. She just presses it there and holds it. Wanda tenses instantly, almost backing off but Clint now has a hand on her lower back and holds her still. Wanda’s still tense but with Clint takes one of her hands and slowly raises it and places it on Y/N’s neck. At first, her hand just rests there but then she lightly, barely noticeable, starts scratching and stroking and Y/N has to keep herself in check. She wants to snort in pleasure neigh but she can’t. she doesn’t want to scare Wanda off so she waits. It takes a few minutes until Y/N deems Wanda calm enough so she lifts her head and snorts, nudging Wanda carefully, and triples on the spot, eager for some apples she knows clint hides in the basket. Wanda takes one out and hesitantly reaches forward. “Flatten your hand so she won't accidentally take your fingers off.” Wanda’s hand flattens and Y/N tries to take the apple as gently as she can. It takes a while longer to really convince Wanda to get in the saddle but half an hour later Y/N is strolling around the compound at a leisurely pace with Wanda sitting on her back. That is until she gets an idea for some bonding time. “Where are you going? Y/N?” Wanda panics a little on her back turning back to look at the others. No one really notices what they are doing, except Clint who’s still eyeing them. “C-Clint?! Where’s she going?”“I don’t know. Just let her lead. It’s Y/N, she probably wants to bond with you.” Y/N neighs to confirm it and continues on along the shore deeper into the forest. She walks for a while until they reach a smaller path that she follows and that leads her back to the lake. She stops on the sandy ground and snorts. The view is a bit different; this place is more shadowy. You can see the compound and if you look closely, you can see all the others on the pier. “This is beautiful.” Y/N nods eagerly. She likes this spot. When she sometimes changes into a deer, she hides out here, just looking around. Sometimes she can watch recruits and Nat and Steve train long-distance runs or survival in icy water. It is interesting and she’s always glad she doesn’t have to do it. Wanda leans a bit forward, resting against Y/N’s neck. Her hands start stroking each side of Y/N’s neck while she whispers into one of her ears. “Can we do this again some time? I- I think I like it.” Y/N nods again, happy that she could convince her that riding a horse isn’t that scary. They slowly make their way back and Y/N test the waters by falling into a slightly faster pace. Wanda screeches at first but relaxes soon. Back with the others she dismounts her and pats her neck again before happily skipping over to Clint.

Y/N looks around trying to spot her boys. They both stand on the edge of the pier. Well, Bucky is sitting, his feet dangling in the water, Steve’s standing beside him nursing a drink. Y/N’s not wearing any horseshoes so she is relatively silent and could try sneaking up on them. Taking the chance while it’s still presenting itself, she walks as silently as she can. It helps that the others aren’t far off, laughing and chatting pretty loudly. She’s only a few feet away from her boys, able to hear their soft conversation. “She might as well be, I mean. Look how Clint acts.”

“Yeah, well. After Pietro, he has taken her under his wings. He keeps a close eye on h- Ahh!” That’s the moment Y/N uses. She takes a small jump and buts her head against Steve’s back, forcefully enough to push him off balance. Steve staggers a little before he loses his footing and slips over the edge of the pier right into the water. Bucky barks out a laugh while Y/N neighs loudly. Steve swims back up, sputtering and spitting water out. “You!” He points an accusing finger at her but Y/N only snorts amused, though, she’s stepping up to the edge of the pier she lowers her head so her reins hang low enough for Steve to grab on, which he does. She neighs loudly and lifts her head with as much force as she can and steps back, dragging Steve up on the platform again. Bucky quickly grabs Steve on the loops of his jeans and pulls him up as well. For a moment Steve just lies pouting on the ground before he slowly gets up and tackles Bucky, getting him all wet as well. Bucky screeches at the wetness and tries to fights Steve off but he nuzzles his wet hair just into Bucky’s face. “That’s for laughing!” Then he lets go and glares at Y/N. He approaches her slowly at first. Y/N stakes a step back but then Steve suddenly starts running. Normally Y/N would be faster than he is but she starts a second too late to turn around, so Steve manages to catch her on her neck and fling himself around her until he sits in the saddle, getting her whole neck all wet. She continues running just for the fun and because Steve just realized what he’s doing. “Y-Y/N! Slower! Oh my god, I hate you!” His hands tighten in her mane as she continues running through the grass. No! No slowing down. She enjoys it way too much.

Here’s my Masterlist.

Enjoy.

-----

“Stevie, when we agreed to have a date night away from the kids, I didn't think we would be going into a mass of more kids.” As he pulled the keys out, you stared at the bright light shining machinery that had been set in the middle of a field outside the city. The annual summer fair had finally made its way to Hawkins, and it had left a buzz in the air as everyone planned when they would go, talked about what rides had come this year, who their ride buddy would be; it had been all the kids had been talking about for weeks. They put a day together the coming weekend to go as a group and they planned to drag Steve and you along on the off chance that they needed an “adult” to allow them on the rides.

Funny how they assumed either Steve or you knew how to adult.

“Cause I thought it would be a nice change from us just watching movies or having dinner.”

“Oh, so dino nuggets are no longer date-worthy for you.” Steve almost took you seriously, but he saw the grin that has graced your lips at your own comment. He relaxed a little knowing that you weren’t upset with his idea for date night, but he had always wanted to kiss someone at the top of a Ferris Wheel, and he would do anything to get you to the top of the rotating ride.

“So, you’re not mad that I chose here for tonight?” You shook your head and pulled at the door handle separating the two of you from the outside life.

“Of course not Stevie, I just thought it was an interesting choice.” The smile you chose to have was one that hopefully convinced him that you were okay with where the pair of you were going, even if you weren’t happy with the choice.

You can be happy with the idea of going to a carnival as long as you don’t go on-”Cool, so what ride do you want to do first?”

“Shit.” The world slipped out before you could stop yourself as Steve finished paying for your tickets and asked what you had said. “Nothing just kicked myself. Um…” You looked around frantically for something to do that wasn’t flashing brightly and spinning faster than the legal highway speed. “Let’s go over there!”

Steve followed your hand as he saw you point towards the stands of games that were rigged and way too fricking expensive, but he would do it for you. “Alright, starting out with some games I see, I like it.”

The two of you ran through a few of the games, most of them where Steve got way too into it and you had to step between them as he tried screaming that he deserved that stuffed bear/pony/cat/fish, because he almost had it every single time. He did beat out the basketball one, one of the last ones the two of you did on that strip, bolstering his confidence just enough to get him into a cheery enough mood.

“Alright! We played some games, and let the crazies test out the rides so I’m pretty sure they won’t break down on us. Which one should we do first? They got a drop tower, or how about the pit viper swings? Or, or, or how about we…” The night had been going enjoyable up until Steve turned to the rides you had managed to distract him from and pointed at the glowing and fast-moving monsters.

“How about we do the haunted walk over there?” Steve followed your pointing finger with a quizzical look, he hadn’t really taken note of the scary attraction before, never thought to really look to it with everything else going on. “I bet it won’t even be scary to us after everything we’ve been through right ha.”

You took off with a dry laugh without waiting for a response from him; his cries were head behind you, but the haunted house looked better than anything else around you. “Y/N.” He called you again, but you walked faster. By the time you got to the stairs leading into the building, you were practically running up them to get into the dark house with smoke billowing out of it.

“Y/N!” Your name was the last thing you heard before diving through the door and physically bumping into one of the scarers dressed as a zombie. He seemed nice, breaking character enough to ask if you were okay before you had already turned the corner and left him behind too.

Twisting and turning, you didn’t pay much mind to the screaming witches, zombies, skeletons, or anything that happened all around you; over the music and screaming, you could vaguely hear your name, giving you an indication that Steve followed you.

Not too far in, you found a quieter corner with only a couple cobwebs around it where you quickly ducked back into and tried pressing yourself into it deeper, hoping to watch Steve walk right by you.

Why the hell were you running from your boyfriend? You gained a sense of logic for a second where you paused. Why were you running? This was super childish of you and really had no reason. All Steve wanted to do was go on a few rides and you were being selfish and completely ruining what was going to be one of the few evenings you didn’t have to babysit the kids.

As the guilt started to swirl with your desire to not be found, you didn’t notice as the Frankenstein in the room had taken notice of you hiding in the corner and started to tromp over to you. “Hey, miss, you can’t be hiding in here, you gotta keep moving.”

“I’ll be out in a second, sir, let me just-” “You can’t be here-” “If you give me a second, I will leave as soon as I can-” “Miss you have to leave-” “Give me one dan minute-” “Y/N!”

Among all the screaming the Frankenstein and you had been doing was your name being called by a third and new voice along with a hand clasping onto your shoulder. Looking to the hand, you saw the unmistakable outline of the man you were hiding from. “There you are babe, why were you running off.” Just looking at the Frankenstein’s demeanor, you could tell he went into defense mode suddenly.

“Were you hiding from him miss? Are you okay? Do you feel safe?” The painted man moved to step between you and Steve in an attempt to separate you two.

“Whoa, whoa buddy, back off. She’s my girlfriend, chill out.” Steve tried stepping around the man o little success.

“Oh, your girlfriend? And she’s running from you? I don’t think this is looking very good for you, buddy.” The two were shooting back and forth at each other, getting chest to chest, and starting to cause a larger disturbance that started o be heard over the music and background scream noises. More workers it looked like started to slip into the room and try to get the two men to quiet down, going so far as to begin threats of throwing them out of the haunted house.

You were pulled away from the situation before being pushed away and into the next room, looking like it was on its way to the exit in the next two or three rooms: your destination.

“Y/N?” His voice finally chirped up next to you as Steve took a seat next to you on the grass at the edge of the carnival. “You okay?” When he saw you sitting over here, he had quickly jogged over and took her in as he did so: sitting with her face pressed into her knees and arms wrapped tightly around her legs as she kept herself in as tight of a ball as possible.

You didn’t respond at first, only moving your head to look up at your boyfriend, the person you have embarrassed tonight and most definitely pissed off with your childish antics tonight. “I’m sorry.”

“Whoa what do you have to apologize for? I’ve been worried about you and wanted to make sure that you are okay.” His hand found its way to your back and began rubbing circles into your shoulder blade.

“I was really childish today and you didn’t deserve it, all because I was scared of the stupid rides.” Your words may have been mumbles, but he heard every word clearly.

“Hold on. Babe, did you say you were scared of the rides?” Your small and timid nod was enough for him to understand. “Why didn’t you tell me? I never would have brought you here if I knew that!”

Swallowing the thick feeling in your throat, you looked up at him and saw the disappointment and hurt in his face and that hurt. “Because you were so excited about it, I thought I could get through it and do at least one or two with you. But as we got closer, I guess my nerves got the best of me and I just...ran. Like a stupid child.”

“Hey, hey, hey, no.” Steve quickly shuffled to kneel in front of you and grabbed your hands, holding them in his own and your legs fell down to where you were now criss cross apple sauce. “I’m not gonna force you to do any of these rides if you don’t wanna. If you want to just go home, we can make this a movie night if that works better for you.”

“No, Stevie,” His mouth quirked up at this name. “You already bought the tickets; I don’t want you to waste the money you earned because I’m a scaredy cat.”

Steve took a second to think, racking his brain on how to salvage what has been an eventful evening. “How about…” He paused again and just stared at you with you staring back at him, waiting to hear what he wanted to say. “You can say no, how about we try a few rides, to try and get you on some. If you don’t like riding after one, we can go home, and you can at least say you did it.”

Mulling this idea over in your head, your eyes shifted from where your boyfriend sat in front of you to the bright and joyous scream filled rides were. “I suppose they don’t all look so bad.” You murmured to him, staring particularly at the giant Ferris Wheel that turned, a small memory from early on in your relationship popping into your head. Steve had mentioned a few times that his dream date would be to take a girl up on a Ferris Wheel and cuddle her and kiss her when they got to the top.

“Okay, we can try a few.” Though shaky, your voice was a little stronger this time and you gave Steve a small smile.

“You sure?” A nod. “Okay, I’ll let you choose which one we go on, okay?” Another nod.

Together, the two of you stood to your feet and approached the hustle and bustle of the carnival grounds again. “What did that Frankenstein do to you? I hope he didn’t get you in trouble or anything.” You asked as you laced your hand with Steve while the other went to hold onto his arm, squeezing it slightly as you got closer to the machines and your stomach growing heavy again.

“Oh him, he didn’t do much, just tried scaring me when he though I was some creep chasing you.” He chuckled at the short story, glancing over to you as you took in the carnival for really the first time, looking for something that didn’t freak you out. “How about we start with those spinning pods over there? All they do is spin around and if you want it to, we can make it spin on the inside too.”

Following his finger, you saw what he was referring to as it did spin around, the four small egg things with windows in them were spinning on the main machinery but also appeared to be spinning on their own. As you got closer and apparently joined the line, you could see inside one of them a group of middle school boys cackling as they pulled on the weird center disk that kinda looked like a pizza pan. “Yeah, we can give it a try.” The shakiness in your voice had come back and your grip on Steve tightened.

“Hey, you got this I’ll be right here with ya.” He returned the squeeze to your hand and fishes through his pocket for two tickets to hand over at the entrance. “Up ya go.” He mutters as he helps you up the three stairs leading into the egg ride thing you were entering before he stepped in behind you and took his place next to you. You were already holding a death grip on the center console when the door was shut, and Steve sat next to you. “You know what this is?” He asked gesturing to the disk you were holding onto with the vice grip.

“Something for me to hold onto?” You shocked yourself with how violently your voice was shaking as you heard something start to rumble around you. “Oh, shit its moving.” Steve let a quick chuckle out before he stopped himself and tried explaining the center console would cause the pod thing to spin. “Fuck no! Don’t you dare make this thing spin.” Bloody murder was not even near definitive enough of how much you were screaming.

“Babe, babe calm down, it’s fine! I promise, ha!” In comparison to your screaming, Steve seemed to be having the time of his life as he laughed; at least he wasn’t making the ride spin. “Babe, babe, babe, I’m so sorry I’m laughing, I promise I didn’t mean to, but you were screaming so much! And it was hilarious!” Steve held onto his sides as he nearly fell out of the pod and waited for you to follow his laughing self. When you didn’t step out, he turned back around and saw you still had your hands clenched very tightly to the metal plate, your eyes wide and your lips pursed together. “Sweetheart, I didn’t mean to make you feel bad about the rides, do you wanna go home?”

Hearing him soften up got you to finally look at him and slowly let go of the wheel. “N-n-no. I’m…” You paused to catch your breath and steady your voice. “I’m good, I just don’t know if I can do any more of these kinds of things.” Taking his hand, you pulled yourself up and stepped out from the ride and have yourself a few seconds to remember how to use your legs.

“You okay?” You nodded at him and gave a shaky, but okay smile. “You sure you wanna do another one? Cause we can go-”

“No, no, I can do…” The carnival really did have more rides than just ones that wanted to make you die, but none that really made you want to jump on them. “Can we do the carousel? I know I can do that one at least, my mom took me on them enough as a kid to be desensitized to those ones.” Steve looked over and saw the carousel that was filled predominately by smaller children, but if you wanted to do this and it was because he bought the tickets, he couldn’t make her do something else.

“If that’s what you wanna do, then we can do the carousel all night long, babe.” You nodded at him and followed him as he took your hand and the two began the walk to the carousel.

The carousel ride was much less curse filled, thankfully. You and Steve had found a pair of horses sitting side by side and the two of you quickly claimed them. Like you had said, you did get to enjoy this ride due to having done it before and you were able to just chat between the two of you, talking about how the kids were cute, how excited you were to take the kids to the park and not have to rides. It was a fine ride, definitely better than the last one.

“You ready to go home, babe?” Steve turned to you with a smile on his face. Getting you to ride two of the rides was honestly enough for him, plus, he knew Dustin would ride all of them with him later, with you waiting at the end for him.

You were about to agree and leave this eventful evening behind you, but you saw what Steve was standing near and bit your lip. Should you do it? Could you do it? “Actually, I wanna do one more.” He gave a quick quirk of his head before he followed your eyeline and turned around.

“What? Babe, we don’t have to do that, you have been through enough today and you were great, you don’t have to prove anything.”

“But...you have been wanting to do it, you told me about it one time.” You responded a little shyly as you confessed that you were doing it back of what he told you that one time. “I just...I really want you to be able to do it.”

“You...you remembered?” Steve was kind of shocked that you remembered him mentioning it, he had told that to girls in the past, but none of them really went out of their way to think about it, hell, even to remember it. “Are you su-”

“Steve, yes, I wanna do it with you.” The grin on his face was immaculate and contagious as one grew on your face as he quickly took this well and pulled you towards the line to the Ferris Wheel and dug around in his pockets for another round of tickets.

As it went around, you felt your stomach grow heavy again when you finally saw how high it got and had to calm yourself down without causing another scene. “Come on, babe, looks like ours is up.” He gently tugged on your hand and pulled you into the seat next to him before the handlebar was lowered and locked in front of you. “And here we go!”

The squeak that left your mouth was nothing but surprise and terror as you clung onto the bar for your life, your knuckles turning white with the sheer force you were holding on. “It’s really stupid you know that the only thing holding us back from falling to our death is this small bar and it’s really stupid because was if I was reall-holy shit this is really tall!” You finally removed your hands from the bar and moved to press yourself in Steve.

You could feel him trying to stop himself from giggling as he moved his arm to wrap it around you. “You can laugh you know; I really don’t care. I’m the coward of an almost twenty-year-old who’s scared of a carnival.” A chuckle did come through as the ride kept rotating and you slowly moved closer to the bottom.

“I’m not laughing at you, babe, but the noises you are making are fricking hilarious.” His voice still held the chuckle as he pressed a kiss to the side of your head, and you responded with another squeak of shock as you started rising again.

Making it to the top again, you were waiting for it to hit its peak and for the relief of lowering the cart to begin, but instead there was a shudder before the ride stopped. “What’s going on, what’s going on, why are we stopped? Oh god we are about to die, fuck, shit, I don’t wanna die.”

“Babe, calm down, someone below us is getting off so they had to stop the ride for a bit. Remember when we had to get on? Same thing probably happened to someone else.” You nodded your head and just stared ahead to the tops of the trees you never thought you would have seen.

“It’s...it’s not too bad up here.” You finally mutter after a few beats of silence and getting your bearings. “I wouldn’t want to stay up here, but it does look nice.” Steve hummed in agreement and pulled you a little closer. “Hey Stevie?”

“Hmm?” He responded looking down at you.

“Thanks, tonight was fun.”

His face broke out into a grin again at your thanks. “Of course, thanks for giving a few of these rides a chance.” Smiling up at him, you sat a little straighter and caught his lips with your own, the two of you humming to the other that you were happy with your evening.

Though it was not as long as Steve would have wanted to stay in that moment with you (the ride started again and you broke away with another shriek), but he wouldn’t have traded that moment for anything else in his life.

Drabble Prompts; fluff | angst | funny // Requests; OPEN

notes; hello!! thank you for requesting!! so like i know it’s basically summer, but is there ever really a bad time for an autumn date w/ soonyoung to a haunted corn maze? the answer is no, there is not.

wc; ~1067

Dating Soonyoung was… interesting to say the least. You never knew what to expect from the day to day, and you loved how spontaneous he was with his affection. Little notes saying “I love you” or “have a good day” slipped into your pocket. Or taking time to learn how to braid hair after you complained about how difficult it was to do by yourself. He loved to joke around and be silly, but when it came to loving you he never treated it lightly. In his eyes you were the entire world and he wanted to make sure that you always knew how special you were.

“Love… wake up… we’re almost there” you heard a soft voice whisper, stretching as much as the car would allow as you took in the surroundings. It was Soonyoung that planned this surprise date night, he said he wanted to take you somewhere the two of you had never gone before. Your eyes scanned over the scenery rushing past the window, looking for any signs as to where you were going.

You perked up when you saw a sign that read ‘Apple U-Pick, trail rides and corn-maze’, turning to Soonyoung with a bright smile. “Are we going apple picking?” you asked excitedly, it was an activity you talked a lot about wanting to do but had never found the time to do it. 

“Autumn is almost over and I wanted to make sure we made it before they closed for the season” he explained, reaching out and intertwining his hand with yours. It was times like these that you were in awe of how closely he paid attention to the things you talked about. “Thank you” you whispered softly, pressing a soft kiss to the back of his hand. He flashed you a warm smile as he turned into the establishments parking lot.

After paying for entrance and collecting bags to put apples in, the two of you were now freely roaming around the rows and rows of apple trees. “All the good ones down low are gone” you said with a pout, looking up at the shiny red apples on the higher branches. When you found one that looked close enough for you to reach, you stretched up on your tippy toes to try and grab it.

You felt Soonyoung’s chest press against your back as he effortlessly plucked the apple you were reaching for off the tree. “Mine” he said with a teasing smirk as you settled onto your feet. “Also, Mine” he jested, smacking your ass before pecking your cheek and jumping away before you could hit him. “Hey!” you said, grabbing a small apple out of your bag and sending it flying his way. He easily dodged the projectile before he took off running through the trees with you not far behind.

You finally caught up to him back at the grassy clearing by the entrance, grabbing the back of his shirt and sending the two of you rolling into the grass. Your laughter echoed through the mostly empty fields as you came to a stop half laying on Soonyoung’s chest. He reached up and brushed some grass out of your hair, looking at you like you had just walked out of the heavens instead of having just rolled around in the dirt.

“I love you so much” he whispered, smiling as his hand came to rest on your cheek. You returned his smile and leaned into his touch. “More than you love tigers?” you asked cheekily, smirking as he gasped and looked at you offended for asking him to choose. You laughed and smoothed away some dirt that had settled on his forehead, “I love you too baby” you said softly, leaning in to press a gentle kiss to his lips.

»»————-　♡　————-««

After collecting more apples than the two of you would probably ever be able to consume, the staff let you know that maze would be opening up soon. You found yourself nestled against Soonyoung’s side as the horse drawn wagon took the two of you to the adjacent section. You shivered a little bit as the wind picked up, the thin sweater you had put on not suited to nightly activities.

“Cold? Here” he said, unzipping his sweater and wrapping it around your shoulders. “But now you’re gonna get cold” you pointed out with a pout, but the warmth was too alluring, so you slid your arms into the sleeves.

“I’ll be fine” he waved off your concern, leaning in a little bit so he was close to your ear. “Plus, you look really good in my sweater” he whispered to you, winking when he leaned back. You felt your cheeks flush at his comment and pulled the sweater a little tighter around your shoulders.

»»————-　♡　————-««

You were usually okay with creepy and scary things, but for some reason the mixture of pitch-black darkness, tall corn and jump scares were just too much for you. You gave up trying to walk on your own long ago, and instead elected to hide yourself in Soonyoung’s shoulder, letting him guide you through the winding maze.

“Are you planning to stay glued to my side the whole day?” he asked with a chuckle, amused by how cute you were acting. He smoothed a hand over your hair as you let out a whine at his comment. “You never told me the maze was haunted” you protested, jumping at the sound of another actor jumping out at you two.

“I’m sorry love” he said, but you could hear the smile in his voice. He liked situations like this, not when you were scared but when you needed him. “I won’t let anything hurt you, ever, okay” he reassured you, maneuvering you a bit so you were better tucked into his arms.

“We’re almost at the end now” he informed you as he started to softly hum one of your favourite songs. You felt yourself relax a little bit and peak up at him, your heart swelling when you saw the focus and determination on his face to protect you from this ‘threat’.

“If I have nightmares tonight, I’m blaming you” you grumbled, to which he merely laughed, the sound vibrating through you. “Don’t worry, I’ll be there to protect you from them too” he said, his lips pressing against the top of your head.
