What do you struggle with the most when it comes to making an OC?
(Mine is giving them a name. Like..... I would create a cool looking character with some personality but then, I don't know what to name them. I'm even struggling with that as we speak.)
design, absolutely design. a lot of the time i have a name / personality / role / backstory for them Before knowing what they look like. coming up with a physical look to go with the character is a bitch & a half lol
#name is tough tho! i feel your struggles!#if i may offer some advice - coming from someone who has crafted literally hundreds of brain guys#ask yourself what their vibe is#like... do you think their name is short? do they seem like someone with a long name? an abbreviated name like A.J?#maybe they look like someone whose name starts with 'h'#look up h names and go from there#or another method is a bit tougher but hey it kinda works#clear your mind and look at the character#the first name that pops into your head is often the best choice#or yk... just sit there thinkin about them! maybe they're like. idk a bird#bird > birdie > birdly > billie#billie the bird!#ALSO LOOK UP BABY NAMES#there are sooooo many lists#you can look up lists with specific amount of letters. starting with [insert letter of your choice]. names with nicknames.#male. female. unisex. myth-based. animal based. plant based.#THERE'S A LIST OF NAMES FOR EVERYTHING I PROMISE#rambles from the bog#for example w/ my puppet sundown summer#i chose her name bc her color palette reminds me of a sunset & she has western inspiration & she's from a kid's show#so her name would be alliterative & sound cowboy-ish. sundown is more western than sunset#and then throw on the summer for the alliteration & friendly feel - kids automatically have positive associations with summer#see what i mean?#or take my murder man Aces - he's named after the diamond patterns on his body#(i associate the word ace with the ace of diamonds playing card)#or uhhhh i have a talking cat character named bartholomew#named so because i think it would be funny for this little talking cat to have a long & 'haughty' name that's also a cat pun. 'mew'#see there's no one way to go about it!!!#there's lots of methods and none of them are wrong!!#good luck and have fun my guy!

My next image in my “OCs & Inspirations” series for Disney’s 100th Anniversary! This time, I present to you Billy Géant and his inspiration, Willie the Giant from the “Mickey and the Beanstalk” segment of a personal favorite Disney film of mine, “Fun & Fancy Free!” The art here was done by @twisted-brainrot.
Billy came about because I wanted to do something with one of my favorite fairy-tales, “Jack and the Beanstalk,” which is a big part of what I think “activated” the more macro/micro side of my many, MANY kinks and fascinations. My thought process was I could do one of two things: one was create an AU for Twisted Wonderland with some characters as giants and others as “Jacks” (which I eventually did for “My Hero Academia,” and may do again for another couple of anime-ish franchises I love). Two was to create my own OC based on a Disney giant - and I went with Willie for a LOT of reasons - and do something with them. Obviously, that is the choice I went with, and I have not seen a reason to regret it: alongside Nakoda, perhaps even MORE than Nakoda, Billy is my most popular OC for Twisted Wonderland. I think there’s more art and writing for him than any of my other major characters for this universe.
He’s also the closest to his source material. Willie the Giant, in his initial appearance (and most other antagonistic roles he’s had since), is essentially a villain by incidence rather than choice. The film actually states this in black and white: “Willie was a nice giant…he just got too big for his britches.” He’s not really EVIL, he’s basically just a big, dumb kid. He’s selfish and has a bad temper: when he causes trouble, it’s not because he’s trying to actively hurt anybody, but simply because he either doesn’t know or doesn’t care about the consequences of his actions (or both). When you push him the wrong way, he then shows his dangerous side, as he can go from cuddly and silly to a terrifying titan of rage. Billy is the exact same way. As well as having a lot of Willie’s superficial elements as a character, the main takeaway between the two is that inherent childishness, and the dichotomy of danger and sweetness it provides. Billy is a lovable dunderhead who only becomes truly cruel and vicious when someone REALLY presses his buttons, and typically is only an antagonist because circumstance has sort of put him in that position. The big difference between the two is what they seek: Willie’s problem-causing is usually a result of greed or ignorance. Billy, however, is someone with a LOT of personal issues: he’s lived a large portion of his life being neglected, rejected, abandoned, and betrayed. He’s effectively a very lonely person who just wants some affection, some respect, and above all some companionship. Show him those things, and you’ll probably be fine.
As to the art…I asked Twisted-Brainrot to do this one because he’s actually made more art for Billy than anybody else, and because he’s also a big fan of Willie the Giant. I’m not sure, but I think this might have been his first (public) outing with the Disney original, and he did an absolutely MARVELOUS job. Seeing the big guy paired up with Billy is truly a treat, and speaking of Billy, I just love how cute he is. TB always draws him with this really cuddly “extra plush” appearance, and it’s truly beautiful to see him that way with his great-great granddaddy. Good big bois, both of ‘em. <3

You mentioned using playlists to inspire writing... any song recs? Pref with autumn vibes? 🍂
Thanks for your query!
Song recommendations for writing are a breeze. Some of my best writing has come from listening to tunes 🎶. Music has the word 'muse' in it for a reason, I suppose. My taste is versatile: alt pop, pop punk, party pop, y2k bangers, 80s classics, hard rock, musical numbers, grunge, ballroom, folklore, rap... the list really is endless.
[ ~ that i call my own ~ ]
My current WIP is fantasy, philosophy, and fiction, so there are a lot of whimsical + adveturous + sad but motivational bops on my playlist. Perfect to close out 2023's autumn. 🍂
Without further ado, here are my song recommendations for any starting writer!
Soldier, Poet, King by The Oh Hellos
Off to See the World by Lukas Graham
Warrior by Chloe x Halle
Dirty Paws by Of Monsters and Men
On Our Way by Royal Concept

Leah's music developed under her alter ego, Coruja. She initially created Coruja as a way for her to artistically explore without threatening her position in her family. However, once she came out, there was an opening for even Coruja to expand in ways Leah never dreamed possible. Coruja became less about a disguise and more about her developing self. When we are faithful to ourselves, we have access to all of ourselves since we are not locking away the pieces of us we are afraid won't be accepted by those close to us. Leah learned that as she began integrating more of those disowned aspects, the process allowed her to explore and obtain more of her artistic expression. It was a profound side effect of being true to herself. 
I found Coruja on Spotify. Her lyrics are poetic, and her voice is memorable—the likes of famous artists such as Billie Eilish, Halsey, Bea Miller, and Birdy.

Imagine:
Assassin!Billy Russo x Assassin!Reader
(kinda inspired by the John Wick Universe - there’s also a little hint that the reader is bi but it’s only a sentence or so)
drabble under the cut
“Business or pleasure?” A familiar voice asks you. A smile tugs at your lips, and against your best efforts, your heart skips a beat. You tilt your head aside, looking at the man beside you. Billy Russo smoothes down the front of his perfectly pressed suit as he leans his back against the bar. The bartender places your drink down in front of you.
“You know the rules Russo, no business on hotel grounds.”
“And you’re such a stickler for the rules, aren’t you darlin?” You shake your head at him with a small sigh, trying to ignore the warmth blooming over your cheeks. He smiles teasingly as he leans closer to you, speaking in a low voice, “You know a little birdie told me, that you might be in line to take over this place after good old Alfred kicks the bucket.”
“Oh really?” You remark coyly, narrowing your eyes at him. “Can I guess which little birdie?” He shrugs, rolling his shoulder lightly,
“Feel free.” You hum in thought, looking down at your glass.
“Angela? No, wait no. She’s not your type.” You tap your finger against your lips, your brows creased in thought. You don’t notice Billy’s eyes fixed on your lips. “Lucy.”
He tilts his head aside with a tiny frown.
“How do you know what my type is?”
“Was it Lucy?” He nods, his frown still evident. A victorious smile tugs at your lips, and you take another sip of your drink. Noticing Billy’s frown hasn’t softened, you add an explanation, “We have the same type.” He takes a drink, his eyes never leaving your face.
“I’ll keep that in mind.” He says, his voice deepening slightly which makes you shiver. “You didn’t answer my question earlier. Business or pleasure?”
“Pleasure.” You respond, taking a sip of your drink with a small hum of satisfaction. “These are the only drinks in the city I can trust.” Billy signals to the bartender, a silent request for his usual. “What about you - business or pleasure?”
A wicked grin spreads across Billy’s face, his eyes dark in the low light of the bar.
“Both.” You laugh lightly, shaking your head at him. He nods in thanks to the bartender as his drink is placed down in front of him.
“Isn’t it always with you?” You remark teasingly. His mouth parts in faux shock, before he mumbles into his drink.
“Not sure if I should be offended by that.” You shrug lightly before explaining,
“If you’re here on business you usually find a good looking someone to spend the night with.” Mischief fills Billy’s eyes in response to your words, and he leans one arm against the bar as he looks at you. “And if you’re here for pleasure, your buddy Frank usually ends up pulling you onto one of his jobs.”
“You’re very observant.” He says earnestly, then a smirk tugs at his lips. “Should I be concerned?”
“I told you. I’m not here on business.”
“Would you be open to somethin’?” You mull it over briefly, it wouldn’t be the first time you and Billy worked a job together.
“Depends.” You say, and Billy’s smile widens. “What’s the job description?” His tongue darts out, licking a line over his teeth and he grins when he notices your eyes following the motion. His dark eyes look you up and down as he takes another drink, before he sets his glass down in front of you.
“A good lookin’ someone to spend the night with.”

kalen I'm making a dick grayson playlist what songs remind you of dick because my music knowledge is uhhhh zero
OMG literally too many there are so many. But I get asked this often enough that okay this is me finally sucking it up and ACTUALLY going through my long-as-fuck character playlist for whenever I write Dick Grayson fic stuff.
So here, in alphabetical order.....some are more 'him' than others, and I tend to have multiple songs from the same artist for character playlists because not surprisingly artists tend towards certain personal themes that recur in their work and so when an artist has a theme I feel is Dick Grayson-esque, I end up putting a bunch of their stuff on.
Also some of these songs are about romantic relationships and that's the vibe I have them on here for, like Uninvited I have on here because I think it evokes a lot of Feels and thoughts about Dick's issues with romantic relationships, whereas some songs like Too Close, What If I Was Nothing, Monsters, etc, are definitely songs about romances but I have them on the playlist more for the feels and thoughts they evoke for Dick's relationships with family members, etc.
Also also a lot of them I pick just for a weird fusion of jazz and rock that I feel fits Dick well and inspires me when I'm writing him even just in action scenes. Like Alex Clare, Apartment 26, Portugal, Roisin Murphy, etc.
Also also also The Third: I can write for a long time in one sitting and tend to have like, ten hour long writing sessions when I have the opportunity so I have very long playlists hfasklfhklahfalkf.
Anyway, what the hell, peruse as you please:
1) For Your Entertainment, Whataya Want From Me - Adam Lambert
2) Beautiful Thieves, Love Like Winter - AFI
3) Uninvited - Alanis Morrisette
4) Too Close - Alex Clare
5) The Waiting One, What If I Was Nothing - All That Remains
6) Monsters (featuring blackbear) - All Time Low
7) In The Shadows - Amy Stroup
8) Feel Good Drag - Anberlin
9) Give Me More - Apartment 26
10) The Boys of Summer - The Ataris (this is a classic song with a lot of covers lol but the Ataris version is IT for me because for some reason its like, the definitive DickRoy song for me and its like....Roy singing it about Dick as adults thinking about when they were teenagers lol yes this one is very specific)
11) Kill Me - AWIM (I don't have MANY Dick as Talon feels but this is like, my Dick as Talon song)
12) Fuck the World, Move Me, The Jester - Badflower
13) Playground - Bea Miller (This is my Dick getting started in Bludhaven song)
14) Kiss the Rain - Billie Myers (This is my DickKory jam)
15) What's In The Middle - The Bird and the Bee
16) Wings - Birdy
17) Dirty Little Animals - Bones UK (another Dick in Bludhaven song, great for action scenes)
18) The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows, You Won't Know - Brand New
19) Failure, Give Me A Sign, Breath, Had Enough, Sooner or Later, Diary of Jane - Breaking Benjamin
20) Circus - Britney Spears (yes its a cliché and what about it? Its a good song and its a very Dick Grayson song haflkhfal)
21) The Wings of Icarus - Celldweller (Dick in Bludhaven or Gotham, patrol/action song)
22) Mary Mary - Chumbawumba (Dick in Bludhaven, specifically Blockbuster arc stuff, dunno why its just my go-to for that era)
23) Ultraviolence - Cliff Lin (another action/patrol song)
24) Come Along - Cosmo Sheldrake (there's a long complicated story here lol but point is this song is very Robin: Year One for me and ties into a lot of my feels about Shrike, Vengeance Academy, Dick and Boone and the mindset Dick has about all those memories)
25) Cold, Colors, Already Gone, Invincible - Crossfade
26) Gotta Get Thru This - Daniel Bedingfield
27) Run Londinium - Daniel Pemberton (action song for various things I write that have Dick on the run or fighting/infiltrating the Court of Owls, etc)
28) Dynasties and Dystopia - Denzel Curry, Gizzle & Bren Joy (action stuff but Gotham based, this is a full-ensemble Batkids anthem for me lolol)
29) The Sound of Silence - Disturbed (another classic with a lot of covers but the Disturbed version is it for me and is very Dick in Bludhaven)
30) Unstoppable - E.S. Posthumus (action song, Gotham or Bludhaven....also I've mentioned before that I don't have fancasts for Dick but I do have an image of how I picture him moving, like his stylistic combination of fighting and dancing, and there's that one dancer Michael Dameski that really embodies that for me? Yeah he has a dance to this song specifically that's what kinda started that rabbit hole for me)
31) MisS Understood, Wait - Earshot
32) White Rabbit - Egypt Central (oof, this song is Dick yelling at Bruce on behalf of himself and his siblings)
33) Drunk (And I Don't Wanna Go Home) - Elle King & Miranda Lambert (this one is Dick and the OG Titans + Lilith because I'm me....like, their rabble rousing, 'let's have some mayhem' anthem)
34) Cold (But I'm Still Here), This Time Its Different - Evans Blue
35) Dance of the Manatee, Kyla Cries Cologne, A Wolf Descends on the Spanish Sahara, Walls of Jericho - Fair to Midland
36) HandClap - Fitz and the Tantrums
37) Shake It Out, Spectrum, Never Let Me Go, Seven Devils, Strangeness and Charm, No Light No Light - Florence and the Machine
38) Falls On Me - Fuel
39) We Are Young (featuring Janelle Monae) - Fun (Dick and the OG Titans)
40) Dirty - grandson (I love this song so much and its just so....Dick Grayson to me, but also Jason Todd too, I think it speaks to how I see them as more alike than a lot of people think and Dick doesn't go to the extremes Jason does but is a lot more willing to fudge the lines of morality than people think)
41) Familiar Taste of Poison, Freak Like Me - Halestorm
42) How You Like Me Now - The Heavy
43) Remember Me - Hoobastank (Dick and how society views him when he's 'just' Dick Grayson, circus orphan and when he's Dick Grayson, adopted son of Bruce Wayne)

52) Welcome to the Black Parade, The Ghost of You, Sing - My Chemical Romance
53) Torn - Nathan Lanier (another action song, this one is my usual backdrop when I picture Dick with one of his siblings running across Gotham rooftops or something, playing rooftop tag even)
54) Republic - Ninja Tracks (Batfam doing stealth operations as a team, action stuff)
55) Trinity - Paper Tongues
56) Faster Kill Pussycat (featuring Brittany Murphy) - Paul Oakenfold (Bludhaven patrol song and Dick's complicated feelings re: how people perceive him and react to him)

59) Goodbye - Ramsey

62) Dancing On My Own - Robyn
63) Night of the Dancing Flame, Ramalama (Bang Bang) - Róisín Murphy

I am soooo excited to share my epic Bethyl playlist with you! I have named it “Big Bethyl MOOD”:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1dSgNYDMqwSWEphWjSncRc?si=iSZ-IPNZSWaLwXrMgLF-BA&dl_branch=1
The songs on this list were chosen via many sources. I obviously included the two songs by Emily Kinney—the cover song she sangam Beth Greene in “Alone”—“Be Good” by Waxahatchee—for Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon, the one she wrote and sang—“Last Chance”—which was on her 3rd album—Expired Love—that she said has Beth and Daryl vibes. Other obvious choices was the song played at the end of “Still” while Daryl and Beth burned down the moonshine shack—“Up the Wolves” by the Mountain Goats—and the two songs that Norman has essentially said give him his own Bethyl feels—“Very Nervous and Love” by J Mascis and “Drowning Man” by U2. The rest of them are songs I have personally selected that put me in a big Bethyl mood, songs that other Bethyl shippers have suggested for me to make song lyric photo edits for, songs from the huge plethora of Bethyl music video tributes on YouTube, as well as from other Bethylers’ playlists that are inspired by this beloved pairing. 🐞💘💘🐍

part one
a horror movie wasn’t always your first choice , and you scared easily , even if someone just walked up behind too quietly and then said hi . but you did enjoy the slight rush being jump scared by these movies made you feel . and you liked that you could watch them with your friends . you could never do this alone . wiggling back and trying to hide into the couch , you felt two arms wrap around your shoulders . one hand messing with your hair while the other rubbing soothing circles into your shoulder . it relaxed you , and you felt content , even as the slasher in the movie took another life . at least it wasn’t a sudden cut like it had been the last seven victims . 
“ you’re such a baby , baby . all spooked by some movie . what’re gonna do when a real killer shows up ? jump and squeak ? ” you gave a huff , looking at billy with a pout that barely held as you tried not to smile . you were pretty sure the only reason he insisted on you joining him and stu on movie nights was to see you get jumpy . “ i’m right , aren’t i ? little scaredy cat . ” he laughed softly , giving you his smug smirk before turning his gaze back at to the tv . 
in retaliation you leaned more on stu , who giggled and shot a playful look to billy , wrapping his arm around you more tightly . it didn’t last long as another sudden cut and scream had you jolting and pulling the covers over your head . both stu and billy laughed , stu leaning over your hidden form and giving you a squeeze . “ aw , they’re scared ! i’ll use my body to protect you , oh no , i’ve been attacked by the monster . oh shit , i’m dying . oh , going limp . . . ” billy rolled his eyes as stu tried to force you to take his weight , only to snicker when you started to thrash and try to push stu off , which you did with the help of billy’s foot , and shoved stu to the floor . 
“ stu’s dead . ” the blonde gave a wink to you as you peaked from under your blanketed hiding spot , and you shifted to look on the floor , wanting to tease stu for playing dead . you really should have expected him to jump and make a loud silly noise . but you didn’t and now it was your turn to scream and scramble into billy’s lap and then off the couch and onto the floor . 
both boys were nearly wheezing at your reaction . stu’s tongue sticking out as he held his stomach and billy’s head tossed back as his shoulder shook . you peered up at them from the arm of the couch , sticking your tongue out at both of them when they finally regained some of their composure . 
“ you’re too easy to scare . ”
“ we really gotta toughen you up , baby . ”
“ let’s watch the exorcist next . that might help ! come back up here , we’ll make sure no bad guys get you . ” stu waggled his eyebrows , sticking his tongue out in another laugh . billy just patted the seat in between them .
propping yourself up on the arm of the couch and resting your chin there you gave a simple shake no with your head . “ we already watched three . and i need to get home . ” stu seemed to deflate , frowning like a kicked puppy . laying across the couch and in billy’s lap he got to face level .
“ just one more ? what if we make more popcorn ? what if i order pizza ? i’ll cuddle you and we can lay on billy ! ” you laughed and shook your head , pinching stu’s nose before standing up . billy reached out grabbing your hand .
“ babe . stay ? just one more movie and we’ll take you home . ” his fingers rubbed small circles into your wrist , trying to lure you back to the couch . you could only shake your head and smile , putting your free hand on your hip . 
“ if i stay then after the movie is over you’re both gonna pout and say one more . and it’ll happen again and again and again . and i’ll never get home . you’re gonna keep me here like some movie watching gremlin . ”
“ that’s kind of the point , babe . ”
“ be gremlins with us ! ” 
these two really were impossible . “ i’m going home . ” you laughed as they both groaned giving a muttered ‘ fine ’ as they made a scene of having to get up and off the couch . how did you ever come to get such dramatic friends ? 
somehow you managed to get to the door with stu hanging over you and whining about how you should just spend the night and billy making loose promises of fast food breakfast in the morning if you conceded . turning around you gives stu a hug , letting him cling and ask one more time for you to stay , claiming billy was grumpy and boring . billy snorted in amusement before slapping the back of stu’s head playfully  
“ i love you guys . ” you mummered happily as you gave billy his hug , and they both seemed pleased by that , offering their own ‘ yeah ? how much ’ and ‘ you better ’ playfully before saying the words back . “ i work tomorrow , so come visit ! we’re getting some new horror movies in that aren’t supposed to be put out till next week . i’m might consider letting you two take a copy home for movie night . ”
“ oh yeah ? we’ll see you . but are you sure you don’t want us to drive you home ? ”
“ someone might be out there looking for a virgin to dig their knife into ! might be safer if we all go in the car . ”
“ stu , shut up , fuck . ”
“ didn’t you’re parents take away your car because you got five hundred dollars in speeding tickets ? ” stu seems to fluster and stutter when you bring it up , pout on his lips as he crosses his arms and looks away . he grumbles something under his breath and billy just rolls his eyes before looking back to you , concern flickering in them . 
“ i’ll be fine . i walk home all the time , and no ones got me . ”
“ yet . ” billy puts his hand on stu’s face and shoves him away from the door , annoyed with stu’s inability to keep his mouth shut for two seconds . 
“ we’ll see you tomorrow at work . give us a call when you get home . ”
“ don’t worry i will ! ”
they try to act cool as they close the door . and they try to be quiet as they race up the stairs to stu’s room so they can watch you walk down the road in the lamp light . 
they really didn’t expect to get this attached to you . when they first met you at the video store , they’d dialed it up and flirted and invited you out . they didn’t think you’d say yes . and they definitely didn’t think that watching horror movies and hanging out with you would become one of their favorite pass times . but here they were . 
the only problem was that you were oblivious . flirting , compliments , physical advances , all of it seemed to go unnoticed by your or completely misinterpreted . not that they should be trying all these things , both billy and stu had girlfriends . girlfriends that were fine , but boring . mostly just for show and the occasion blow job or handy . they weren’t really interesting to them anymore . not like you . maybe it was good that you hadn’t noticed yet . it gave them both time to plan , time to find a reason to break up with sid and tate . but for now they were like lovesick puppies watching your from fade away from view . 
- - - 
randy looked like he was dead inside as he scanned no less than eight stupidly bright children’s movies for the mother and her gremlin at the check out . this job . . . it paid . but it honestly wasn’t all that worth it . and then billy and his lap dog came inside . probably to annoy him for the millionth time . he gave the woman back her changed and ground out a half hearted ‘ have a nice day ’ before turning his attention to the pair as they sauntered up to the counter .
“ you look fucking miserable . ”
“ billy . ”
“ must suck having to rewind all those barney and friends tapes . too grumpy to even give momma a smile ? ”
“ stu . ” randy sighed and rubbed his temple . at least it was a break from the boringness of this place .” what are you two doing here ? we haven’t gotten any new horror movies in . ” it’s usually why they showed up . to scour through the movies , sometimes picking the same ones . it gave them common ground , but being the lesser friend in their little friend group didn’t always mean that either of them would listen to him . their fault . he was practically an expert on horror . they were just casual fans . 
“ oh really ? because we heard from a little birdy that you have some in the back you haven’t out yet . ” 
“ tweet tweet , randy’s a lair . ”
with an exasperated sigh , randy looked up at the ceiling . who the fuck told them that ? now he was going to have to put up with their bullshit until he gave in or the store closed .
“ hey guys ! ” the attention of all three boys snapped to you as you walked out of the back with a grin on your face , happily moving towards the group crowded around the register . “ hope you weren’t waiting too long for me - hey stu ! ” you laughed as stu intercepted you , giving you a hug and leaning over you . “ stu please don’t dead weight me , nooooo . ” your whine became a laugh as you tried to push back against the taller boy as he attempted to squish you with his weight . he really was a goof . 
“ hi , billy . ” you gave a slight wave with a free hand as you finally got stu to go from trying to squish you to just resting his chin on your head . “ i have the movies we got in ! they’re really good . ones a foreign film with subtitles , but i think it looks interesting . ”
“ wait . how do you know these two , y/n ? ” you blinked at randy , giving a confused look as you tilted your head . was he serious ? 
“ billy and stu are my late night movie buddies . i talk about them all the time . ”
“ you’re late night horror buddies are these two ? two guys ? two guys you spend hours along with on the couch watching movies with ? ”
“ yep ! ”
“ billy and stu . you know they have girlfriends right ? you know you have a boyfriend right ? ”
“ yep . ”
“ then why are you spending alone time with - ”
“ because they’re my friends and you don’t watching horror movies with me . ” your pout and raised brow does nothing to soothe randy who’s looking at you like you grew a second head . how , after all this time , had he not known that you were spending time with two of the biggest flirts he knew ? and you didn’t even seem phased or to care . what was wrong with you ?
billy and stu were frozen . no longer paying attention to the little spat you seemed to be in with randy . you had a boyfriend . a boyfriend. a friend that was a boy . dating . a boy . you and a guy together . it was as if billy and stu were sharing one brain cell and it was being fried . it took a moment before billy interrupted you and randy . 
“ a girl can’t be just friends with two dudes . that’s not how it - ”
“ you have a boyfriend ? ”
you smiled over to billy , and nodded . had you ever mentioned it ? you were sure you had . or maybe you just thought they knew . 
“ since when ? ” stu was worse about holding his surprise in , his voice high at the end as he looked at you the same way randy was , but for a different reason . 
“ about two months . why does it matter to either of you . ” randy snapped at the pair , looking annoyed and angry all at once .
“ shut up , randy we aren’t talking to you . ”
“ but you’re talking about me . ”
“ the fuck do you mean we’re talking about you ? you’re not y/n boyfriend . ”
" actually , he is ! ” you perked up and back into the conversation , standing between randy and his glare and the boys and their confused and shocked faces . your hands up in a defensive position . 
billy recovered first .his features annoyed and unimpressed . “ really , y/n ? randy ? you could do so much better . ” you rolled your eyes and laughed , hitting him on the chest lightly with one of the movies you’d brought out .
“ don’t be mean . ” you gave stu a pointed look , knowing full and well that the taller of the two would shamelessly start asking questions and making comments to piss randy off further . 
“ i still can’t - ” 
“ randy . billy and stu are my friends . we watch movies and hang out . ya know , like you do with friends . it’s not that big of a deal . ” he studied you for a moment . annoyed by learning all this new information . and that he had to learn it at work , and not from your own lips when you first started hanging out . he remembered that you told him you were hanging out with some . . . oh . you had told him . you’d told him you were hanging out with the boys to watch horror movies . he’d been annoyed and not exactly paying attention to you . but fuck , you never said the boys were billy and stu . 
randy grumbled , leaning back and glaring at the billy and stu with crossed arms . a guarded expression on his face . “ fine . whatever . just . . . be more clear if you start hanging out with other guys . not exactly awesome to find out that your girl is with two fucking flirts all the time . ”
“ it isn’t our fault you’re to lame and busy to spend time with your girlfriend , randy . ” stu snicker , as he leaned over billy’s shoulder . randy only shot him an annoyed look . 
there was tension in the air , you caught in the middle as you looked between the three boys . the movies you wanted to show billy and stu still in your hands . “ . . . i really kinda wanna watch this one ? i know it’s not in english but it looks like it could be scary ? ”
“ yeah , babe ? which one ? ” billy gave a smirk to randy before taking a closer look at the movies you had held out to them . he wanted to laugh at the shocked expression randy made at the little teasing nickname billy called you . 
somehow , billy and stu ended up moving you to the horror section , away from randy and his pissy , jealous attitude . they picked out a couple of movies from the new ones you showed them , along with some old ‘ classics ’ . chatting and laughing and until you were pulled away to help someone locate a romcom . 
they didn’t linger long after you went back to doing your job , obviously taking it seriously or at least more so than randy . stu was holding back his laughter at how upset the other boy was . god , he wanted to pick on him . but not now . billy had threatened him enough as they were walking to the front . 
“ don’t try anything with them . they’re not single . they’re dating me . so if your playing so sick cheating game , just give it up . or i’ll tell sidney and tate about this . ”
“ what ? you think they don’t know . sidney and tate already met y/n . they know we hang out and don’t have a problem with it . you’re the only one out of the loop . like i said , maybe if you spent more time with y/n you wouldn’t feel so torn up about this . ” billy clicked his tongue to his teeth and grinned , grabbing the movies from the counter and sauntering out smug . 
but the act fell as they got into tate’s borrowed car . stu sitting in the driver’s seat as he glanced to billy . this was a cog in their plans . something unexpected and annoying . any random shit head could have fallen victim to their secret illegal pass time . but randy was too much of a target . fuck , this was easier when they only had to worry about dumping their girlfriends and getting with you . but . . . randy didn’t exactly seem very attentive . and you never felt the need to mention them . maybe he wasn’t as important as they thought . what they really needed was to see you both interact outside of work . somewhere natural . somewhere where the two of you could be in your element and they could figure out a plan of attack . . .
“ hey , stu . how about you throw a house party . ”

“ stu , shut up , fuck . ”
“ didn’t you’re parents take away your car because you got five hundred dollars in speeding tickets ? ” stu seems to fluster and stutter when you bring it up , pout on his lips as he crosses his arms and looks away . he grumbles something under his breath and billy just rolls his eyes before looking back to you , concern flickering in them .
“ i’ll be fine . i walk home all the time , and no ones got me . ”
“ yet . ” billy puts his hand on stu’s face and shoves him away from the door , annoyed with stu’s inability to keep his mouth shut for two seconds .
“ we’ll see you tomorrow at work . give us a call when you get home . ”
“ don’t worry i will ! ”
they try to act cool as they close the door . and they try to be quiet as they race up the stairs to stu’s room so they can watch you walk down the road in the lamp light .
they really didn’t expect to get this attached to you . when they first met you at the video store , they’d dialed it up and flirted and invited you out . they didn’t think you’d say yes . and they definitely didn’t think that watching horror movies and hanging out with you would become one of their favorite pass times . but here they were .
the only problem was that you were oblivious . flirting , compliments , physical advances , all of it seemed to go unnoticed by your or completely misinterpreted . not that they should be trying all these things , both billy and stu had girlfriends . girlfriends that were fine , but boring . mostly just for show and the occasion blow job or handy . they weren’t really interesting to them anymore . not like you . maybe it was good that you hadn’t noticed yet . it gave them both time to plan , time to find a reason to break up with sid and tate . but for now they were like lovesick puppies watching your from fade away from view .
- - -
randy looked like he was dead inside as he scanned no less than eight stupidly bright children’s movies for the mother and her gremlin at the check out . this job … it paid . but it honestly wasn’t all that worth it . and then billy and his lap dog came inside . probably to annoy him for the millionth time . he gave the woman back her changed and ground out a half hearted ‘ have a nice day ’ before turning his attention to the pair as they sauntered up to the counter .
“ you look fucking miserable . ”
“ billy . ”
“ must suck having to rewind all those barney and friends tapes . too grumpy to even give momma a smile ? ”
“ stu . ” randy sighed and rubbed his temple . at least it was a break from the boringness of this place .” what are you two doing here ? we haven’t gotten any new horror movies in . ” it’s usually why they showed up . to scour through the movies , sometimes picking the same ones . it gave them common ground , but being the lesser friend in their little friend group didn’t always mean that either of them would listen to him . their fault . he was practically an expert on horror . they were just casual fans .
“ oh really ? because we heard from a little birdy that you have some in the back you haven’t out yet . ”
“ tweet tweet , randy’s a lair . ”
with an exasperated sigh , randy looked up at the ceiling . who the fuck told them that ? now he was going to have to put up with their bullshit until he gave in or the store closed .
“ hey guys ! ” the attention of all three boys snapped to you as you walked out of the back with a grin on your face , happily moving towards the group crowded around the register . “ hope you weren’t waiting too long for me - hey stu ! ” you laughed as stu intercepted you , giving you a hug and leaning over you . “ stu please don’t dead weight me , nooooo . ” your whine became a laugh as you tried to push back against the taller boy as he attempted to squish you with his weight . he really was a goof .
“ hi , billy . ” you gave a slight wave with a free hand as you finally got stu to go from trying to squish you to just resting his chin on your head . “ i have the movies we got in ! they’re really good . ones a foreign film with subtitles , but i think it looks interesting . ”
“ wait . how do you know these two , y/n ? ” you blinked at randy , giving a confused look as you tilted your head . was he serious ?
“ billy and stu are my late night movie buddies . i talk about them all the time . ”
“ you’re late night horror buddies are these two ? two guys ? two guys you spend hours along with on the couch watching movies with ? ”
“ yep ! ”
“ billy and stu . you know they have girlfriends right ? you know you have a boyfriend right ? ”
“ yep . ”
“ then why are you spending alone time with - ”
“ because they’re my friends and you don’t watching horror movies with me . ” your pout and raised brow does nothing to soothe randy who’s looking at you like you grew a second head . how , after all this time , had he not known that you were spending time with two of the biggest flirts he knew ? and you didn’t even seem phased or to care . what was wrong with you ?
billy and stu were frozen . no longer paying attention to the little spat you seemed to be in with randy . you had a boyfriend . a boyfriend. a friend that was a boy . dating . a boy . you and a guy together . it was as if billy and stu were sharing one brain cell and it was being fried . it took a moment before billy interrupted you and randy .
“ a girl can’t be just friends with two dudes . that’s not how it - ”
“ you have a boyfriend ? ”
you smiled over to billy , and nodded . had you ever mentioned it ? you were sure you had . or maybe you just thought they knew .
“ since when ? ” stu was worse about holding his surprise in , his voice high at the end as he looked at you the same way randy was , but for a different reason .
“ about two months . why does it matter to either of you . ” randy snapped at the pair , looking annoyed and angry all at once .
“ shut up , randy we aren’t talking to you . ”
“ but you’re talking about me . ”
“ the fuck do you mean we’re talking about you ? you’re not y/n boyfriend . ”
“ actually , he is ! ” you perked up and back into the conversation , standing between randy and his glare and the boys and their confused and shocked faces . your hands up in a defensive position .
billy recovered first .his features annoyed and unimpressed . “ really , y/n ? randy ? you could do so much better . ” you rolled your eyes and laughed , hitting him on the chest lightly with one of the movies you’d brought out .
“ don’t be mean . ” you gave stu a pointed look , knowing full and well that the taller of the two would shamelessly start asking questions and making comments to piss randy off further .
“ i still can’t - ”
“ randy . billy and stu are my friends . we watch movies and hang out . ya know , like you do with friends . it’s not that big of a deal . ” he studied you for a moment . annoyed by learning all this new information . and that he had to learn it at work , and not from your own lips when you first started hanging out . he remembered that you told him you were hanging out with some … oh . you had told him . you’d told him you were hanging out with the boys to watch horror movies . he’d been annoyed and not exactly paying attention to you . but fuck , you never said the boys were billy and stu .
randy grumbled , leaning back and glaring at the billy and stu with crossed arms . a guarded expression on his face . “ fine . whatever . just … be more clear if you start hanging out with other guys . not exactly awesome to find out that your girl is with two fucking flirts all the time . ”
“ it isn’t our fault you’re to lame and busy to spend time with your girlfriend , randy . ” stu snicker , as he leaned over billy’s shoulder . randy only shot him an annoyed look .
there was tension in the air , you caught in the middle as you looked between the three boys . the movies you wanted to show billy and stu still in your hands . “ … i really kinda wanna watch this one ? i know it’s not in english but it looks like it could be scary ? ”
“ yeah , babe ? which one ? ” billy gave a smirk to randy before taking a closer look at the movies you had held out to them . he wanted to laugh at the shocked expression randy made at the little teasing nickname billy called you .
somehow , billy and stu ended up moving you to the horror section , away from randy and his pissy , jealous attitude . they picked out a couple of movies from the new ones you showed them , along with some old ‘ classics ’ . chatting and laughing and until you were pulled away to help someone locate a romcom .
they didn’t linger long after you went back to doing your job , obviously taking it seriously or at least more so than randy . stu was holding back his laughter at how upset the other boy was . god , he wanted to pick on him . but not now . billy had threatened him enough as they were walking to the front .
“ don’t try anything with them . they’re not single . they’re dating me . so if your playing so sick cheating game , just give it up . or i’ll tell sidney and tate about this . ”
“ what ? you think they don’t know . sidney and tate already met y/n . they know we hang out and don’t have a problem with it . you’re the only one out of the loop . like i said , maybe if you spent more time with y/n you wouldn’t feel so torn up about this . ” billy clicked his tongue to his teeth and grinned , grabbing the movies from the counter and sauntering out smug .
but the act fell as they got into tate’s borrowed car . stu sitting in the driver’s seat as he glanced to billy . this was a cog in their plans . something unexpected and annoying . any random shit head could have fallen victim to their secret illegal pass time . but randy was too much of a target . fuck , this was easier when they only had to worry about dumping their girlfriends and getting with you . but … randy didn’t exactly seem very attentive . and you never felt the need to mention them . maybe he wasn’t as important as they thought . what they really needed was to see you both interact outside of work . somewhere natural . somewhere where the two of you could be in your element and they could figure out a plan of attack …
“ hey , stu . how about you throw a house party . ”

Another One Bites the Dust
Summary: In which you accidentally run into the new guy, only for him to take an interest in you.
Tumblr media
Words: 2.8K Warnings: None really.  Requested? This wasn’t requested, but it was inspired by THIS POST posted by @thehargrovewhore​ It’s not necessarily what they were looking for, but this fic is what snowballed from me thinking about someone running into Billy XD
High school would have been a living nightmare had you not been befriended by Heather Holloway. She was one of the- if not the most- popular girls at Hawkins High and she made attending school bearable for you. But being friends with someone like Heather was bound to land you high up in the popularity rankings and it unfortunately made you a target for people like Carol and Tommy who wanted to tear down those they considered a threat to their own ranking.
Fortunately for you, Heather wasn't one to back down from a confrontation. If you weren't particularly feeling up to defending yourself, then Heather stepped in with her too sweet words laced with venom that usually shut the couple up. And though Heather was popular, she wasn't the type that everyone feared. She was the cool girl everyone idolized, the girl everyone adored, and since you were her best friend everyone else made sure to respect your boundaries and leave you be if you weren't feeling very sociable.
But now it's been about a month since the girls of Hawkins High have gone crazy for newcomer Billy Hargrove and you're so over all the giggling, the whispers, and the cocky persona he puts on when he notices he's being stared at. Normally someone's attitude like his wouldn't bother you, but the girls don't seem to have a care in the world when attempting to get close to him even if it meant pushing you out of the way to do so. And that, that bothers you.
"What's wrong with you?" Heather asks, leaning against the lockers next to yours, popping her bubblegum. "You're in a mood."
You sigh as you pick out your sketchpad that you need for your last class of the day. "I only got four hours of sleep last night and I've got a headache. I thought that by now the fascination with Mr. California would have died down, but apparently the girls are more desperate than ever, including Carol who seems to see me as some sort of competition and won't stop pestering me about the new guy."
"Really?" Heather perks up, pushing off the lockers. "You've talked to that sunkissed God?"
"One, ew." Your nose wrinkles in distaste and you start walking towards the Art room. Heather follows. "And two, no. I haven't talked to him which is why I'm confused and so over Carol talking shi-" You're cut off as you walk into a wall- or what you think is a wall- and you actually fall backwards down on your ass with a startled yelp. "What the hell was that?!" You ask, rubbing at your now sore nose before glancing upwards. An amused Billy Hargrove stands above you, hands on his hips which hold open his denim jacket to show off his white tee that fits him like a second skin. "Did I just run into you?" You ask, clearly not distracted by his cocky stance at all. "What the hell are you made out of? Brick?"
He smirks, but before he can say anything Heather is bending down and collecting your dropped sketchpad. She giggles. "You really shouldn't walk and talk, Y/N. You never know who you're going to run into."
"You're a bitch. You know that? You totally saw him standing there and didn't warn me."
"It's about time you get some one on one with Mr. California. I think you're the only girl he hasn't chased yet."
"And it's going to stay that way!" You hiss.
"Need a hand there, Princess? I mean I don't mind your current position, but-"
Your head jerks to stare up at Billy, gaze narrowing. "Not another word." He holds his hands up in mock surrender, winking. You roll your eyes. "And thanks, but no thanks."
You stand up without any aid, avoiding everyone's gazes who had stopped to stare. Yanking your sketchpad back from Heather, you scowl at her. Then when you move to continue on walking, you and Billy end up going in the same direction at once. You sidestep at the exact same time he sidesteps and he chuckles when you get visibly annoyed. Groaning, you slap a hand to Billy's chest and push him aside. But before you can step away, you glance at his chest where your hand is at and you end up poking him. "Jesus. Why are you so-"
"Hard?"
Heather giggles and you quickly glare up at him, snatching your hand back. "Gross. But essentially, yes."
"Well-"
The warning bell rings, startling you from hearing what Billy has to say. Glancing at your best friend, you say, "Shit. I need to get to class. If you're not in my car ten minutes after the bell's rung, I'm leaving your skinny ass behind."
As Y/N runs off, Billy watches her go. Heather smirks, pulling down her heart-shaped sunglasses from the top of her head to perch on the bridge of her nose.
"Where have you been hiding her, Holloway?"
"Don't even think about it, Hargrove." Heather pops her bubblegum, grinning. "Y/N is happy to be a wallflower. She doesn't care for that seductive charm of yours when you set your sights on a girl."
He waggles his eyebrows. "Been talking about me with her, huh?"
"Nope. Your girl Carol won't stop harassing her about you." Letting her smile fall, Heather practically sneers at Billy. "Get Carol in check. If Y/N is unhappy, I'm unhappy. And trust me, you won't want us to be unhappy."
Billy chuckles, stepping closer and tugging on one of Heather's curls that's been gathered into a sideways ponytail. "Don't worry about Carol. Y/N, however, I have a feeling she's going to be begging me for a ride pretty soon."
Heather's smile makes a comeback. "Good. And since I think my best friend needs to have some sort of fun, I'll give you this piece of information. Be pushy, but not too pushy. Rile her up just enough and her annoyance with you will eventually turn into fondness."
The final bell rings and Heather starts to walk backwards, wiggling her fingers in a mock wave before Billy can say anything in return.
Tumblr media
A few days later, you've stayed behind after the final bell has rang for the school day. The art teacher is off making copies of some worksheets she plans to hand out the following week in the main office and you're adding the finishing touches to your current project. The painted cassette tape takes up nearly seventy percent of the canvas and the plastic film is painted in a mangle of loops around the tape. The tape is just wide enough for you to carefully paint lyrics along it which is what you're doing right now since there are no distractions around.
You're painstakingly painting the lyrics to Girls Just Want To Have Fun with the thinnest paint brush you could find when you hear footsteps behind you.
"Just ten more minutes, Miss Ackers. I'm almost done."
"I know I'm pretty, Princess, but not as pretty as that art teacher of yours."
That particular voice makes you sigh before you lean back, placing your paintbrush in a cup of water. "What are you doing here, Hargrove?" Turning around you see him staring at your canvas.
"Not bad," he says. "You're pretty good."
"It's just a cassette tape. Nothing fancy."
"Oh but it is." He says. "You didn't just paint a tape. You painted a tape that looks like it's been handled numerous times. Almost like it's.. worn down."
Your lips twitch at the sight of Billy actually studying your art. You inhale deeply, swallowing down the urge to immediately bicker with him. "Thanks."
He smirks, tucking his hands into the front of his jean's pockets before dragging his gaze back to you. "So a little birdie told me you liked burgers. Wanna grab a bite to eat with me, Y/N? I promise to make it worth your while."
"And you ruined the moment." Your shoulders slump and you turn back around to gather all your supplies. Walking towards the back of the room where a sink resides, you wash off your paint pallet, clean your brushes, and rinse out your cup. When you turn back around, Billy is a lot closer than before and you gasp in surprise. "Jesus."
"Close. It's Billy."
"Whatever you say, Bobby." He snorts and when you sidestep him you bite back a smile at the brief back and forth. "I've actually got stuff to do. If you're looking for a date, I hear Nicole's seconds away from getting down on her knees. Have fun."
"You'll cave sooner or later."
"Keep dreaming, Benny."
Tumblr media
A few more days pass and your walls are starting to crumble.
Billy Hargrove has learned your entire class schedule and is now just around every corner. You can't seem to escape him, and when you do Heather takes up the reigns and talks non-stop about him. His flirtations, instead of making you blush, start to make you laugh and he's got you right where he and Heather want you. The rest of the high school female population, however, are not happy with the turn of events.
Lunch has just ended and you've dumped your tray alongside Heather. The both of you have walked out into the hallway, but in order to keep the conversation going you've turned around so you're walking backwards.
"Alright. Who would you rather: Joe Perry from Aerosmith or Roger Taylor from Queen?"
You scoff. "You could have made it harder. Roger Taylor, of course."
Heather's eyes briefly flicker behind you, but you don't pay it any mind. Not even when her eyes light up. "Oh. Of course," she grins. "You obviously have a thing for those light-haired boys."
"I might have a thing for some light-haired boys." You shrug and start to turn, keeping your gaze on Heather. "But if anyone's going to get me on my knees, it'd be- oomph!" You crash into someone and stumble back, your cheek hurting from the chest you've hit. Heather cackles as hands quickly grab onto you to steady you and then wraps an arm around your shoulders.
"Princess," Billy drawls.
You tense. "Nope." This can't be happening. You did not just crash into Billy while talking about getting on your knees. Chancing a glancing up, you cringe. It's definitely him.
"What were you saying just moments ago? Who's going to get you on your knees?"
Heather laughs some more and you shake your head. "We're not doing this today, Hargrove."
"Well I mean, just pick a day. Any day. I've been dying to get you on your-"
"Gross!" You wrinkle your nose and elbow him in his side, he smirking down on you. "I was talking about Roger Taylor. You know, the drummer from Queen."
"You mean my twin?" This time it's your turn to laugh and you don't even fight him when he starts leading you down the hallway with Heather practically skipping at your side. "So what were you ladies up to before Y/N tried seducing me with her words?"
"We," Heather quickly cuts off your retort, "are just going to kill the rest of the lunch period in Y/N's car. Care to join us?"
"And before your brain runs away with whatever it conjures up, no this isn't an invitation for a threesome. We're just going to listen to music and talk, and that's it. If you can't keep your dick in your pants for twenty minutes, then you're not welcome."
Billy sighs. "Take away all my fun." Heather giggles and you grin, and Billy continues to walk you to your car. "Next time though, we're skipping school food and going out."
"Whatever helps you sleep at night, Bennett."
Tumblr media
After the final bell rang, it was no surprise to find Billy waiting outside the art classroom. He waited until everyone had left, he then entering the room to help you carry a couple of your canvases you were taking home now that they've been graded and on display long enough.
Even after weeks of flirting and getting absolutely nowhere, a real friendship somehow blossomed between you and him. He's still the most arrogant boy you've ever met, and downright mean at times to your peers, but it's.. it's Billy.
So after laying your artwork in the trunk of your car and still no Heather, you join Billy over at his car. You readily hop onto the hood, smirking when he glares at you, and promise to not scratch his baby. He rolls his eyes, lights up a cigarette, and leans on the spot right next to you.
"So you're telling me you never once hooked up with Tina?" You ask, giggling. Billy shakes his head, the corner of his mouth quirked up in a grin. "Seriously? She's been telling anyone and everyone that she's slept with you at least twice."
Billy shrugs. "There was some heavy petting the night of her Halloween party, but that's about it."
"Jesus. Halloween? Didn't you move here like a day or two before?"
"Something like that."
"That girl sure does move fast."
Billy chuckles and takes a long drag of his cigarette, letting the smoke sit for a few seconds before exhaling it all out. With your backpack next to you, you open up the front pocket and take out a bag of skittles you'd been snacking on during lunch. Pouring some into your palm, you hold out your hand towards Billy to see if he wants some. He chooses the red ones since he knows they're your favorite and quickly tosses them into his mouth.
"You're a dick."
The school kids are slowly pouring out from the main entrance and still there's no Heather. There is, however, Carol and her little lackey Nicole.
"Careful, Billy. The cow you have sitting on the hood of your car is bound to leave a dent or two." Nicole practically cackles at Carol's remark- Carol who's smirking as if she's just won some sort of confrontation.
You merely smile in return. "Careful, Carol. Jealousy doesn't suit you."
She scoffs. "Jealousy? What exactly do I have to be jealous of? You're nothing."
"Oh I don't know," you slowly grin, leaning towards Billy and sliding an arm around the back of his shoulders. He chuckles. "Maybe you're jealous over the fact that Billy hasn't given you the time of the day. Then again, your boyfriend is practically his little lap dog so maybe you're pissed because the only one on one time you can have with him, he spends it with me."
Her amusement completely vanishes, but before she can open her mouth to retort Tommy is putting an arm around her shoulders. "Hey, babe. What's going on?" He asks before nodding at Billy. "Hey man."
"Nothing." Carol then pastes on a smile and kisses the underside of his jaw.
"Nothing?" You muse, feigning innocence. "Now I wouldn't say that." Carol glances at you, eyes narrowing and Nicole frowns before taking a step back. Glancing at Tommy, you then say, "Put a leash on your girl, man. She's acting kind of bitchy because Hargrove hasn't asked her to get on her knees for him yet."
Tommy's smile drops. "What?"
"Sorry, man, but it's true." Billy tells him. "I've known my fair share of persistent girls, but yours really takes the cake."
"Hey fuck you, man." Tommy stands a little taller, clearly defending his girlfriend.
You roll your eyes. "Don't get pissy at him, Tom-Tom. Carol's the one who can't take a hint and get bent somewhere else."
"Screw you, Y/N!"
"Nah. I rather save the screwing for Billy." You smirk.
You hear a slight sharp inhale from your friend, but don't bother looking at him. Carol sneers, Nicole cracks a grin, and Tommy scoffs. "Lets go, babe. Obviously Billy isn't a friend of ours."
"Took you long enough to catch on, did it?"
As the trio finally take their leave, you lean back and slide your arm off of Billy's shoulders. He turns, but you immediately shake your head. "Don't. I didn't mean it."
"Are you positive?"
"Oh my god." You laugh. "I just said it to get under her skin."
"Get under whose skin?" Heather's finally joined you, smacking her gum.
"Carol's." You slide off the hood of Billy's car, but he doesn't let you go far.
"Y/N told Carol she would screw me."
Heather gapes, but you're quick to defend your word choice. "In a joking manner!" Billy laughs and you groan as he pulls you under his arm as usual. "Goddammit. I'm never going to live this down."
"Not a chance in hell, Princess. Wanna go to the movies with me?"
You sigh and start to walk towards your own car. "Get bent, Brad."
"That's not even close to sounding like Billy," he calls after you.
"I don't care!"
Heather starts to giggle and Billy smirks over at her. "Progress, Holloway. This is good progress."

Twin Snowflakes 26: Preparation
[part 2 of 2]
Another day, another classroom bell. As far as Monday’s go, today was pretty harmless for Summer. Classes went by fast, Veronica only nagged her about what to eat for lunch, and P.E. was used for tournament announcements so she didn’t have to change. In a few minutes she’ll be able to walk out of the student council meeting and go home to escape-
“We’re all staying after school today, all of us.” Eliza said, filing papers.
Summer planted her head on the table. “Why do you hate me!? I’m nothing but kind to you.” She whined.
“Stop crying! Did you expect to go into the tournament performance cold turkey? This isn’t one of your concerts. Multiple things need to work at once. Which is why Harriet was kind enough to keep a platform up to act as a stage in the gym. You and your brother will have the band’s support.
Nick’s face turned to terror. He could see Summer’s face begin to get excited. “Summer, I know that look. Please remember that neither the band nor I are as skilled as you. Don’t go full dictator on us.”
She could only laugh and smile energetically. “That won’t be a problem if you hit the notes.”
“Not what I wanted to hear, Summer!”
Veronica got up from the table and packed her things. “You all have fun. I’m gonna get started on that outfit. The materials should be at your house by now.”
“Not so fast.” Eliza interjected, “Did you forget that you’re filling in on the cheer team? Their practice starts in fifteen minutes.”
“B-But my fabrics!” She gasped.
Eliza folded her arms confidently. “Sorry, tough luck. Harriet saw your moves and she gets what she wants. If only Amber didn’t twist her leg.”
Nick let out a snicker before hiding his smile from Veronica. Karma is a cruel mistress.
“I myself will oversee everything as best as I can while leading my own rehearsal. Don’t think twice to come find me, or the President, who should really be the one leading this meeting.”
“Nah you’re on a roll.”He smiled.
She gave him a glare before continuing. “Anyways, I also need somebody to let Valerie know the water heater is screwed up again and also that she should at least help with hauling supplies to Amity Arena; since she so rudely skipped this meeting.”
All of the council and other student body members turned to Nick instinctively. It was warranted but man did it blow. Summer glady stood up to take the bullet.
“I will tell her everything she needs to know, after rehearsals.”
“Works for me. Let’s move people! Time is ticking.” Eliza gathered her belongings and went out the door with the rest of the staff. Summer and Veronica gave him a nudge as they walked by. “You two still have enough time to do the outfit?”
“I fixed your sister’s uniforms in no time at all. I already have all her measurements I need so the annoying part is over.”
“What she said.” Summer added. “At this point I guess I’m being moved to wherever I’m supposed to be. Eugh, after school, even the name hurts my throat.”
“Think of it like this. We get to spend all day with Eliza!” Nick yelled out the door cheekily.
“I will answer none of your questions!” She yelled back, knowing she basically has to spend the entire day around Nick. She hadn’t told him yet but she was going to accept his offer. Her curiosity about his plan was too strong. The tournament was quickly approaching. Every step forward counts. Time to kick things into high gear.
Nick found the strength to leave the table and face judgment. “Alright, let’s get this pain over with.”
“Quit exaggerating! I will be a humble singing instructor.”
xxxxx
“COME ON NICK! YOU CALLED THAT A HARMONY!?” Summer was not humble, or quiet for that matter. “I know you can do better!”
Nick endured the criticism as he sipped his water. He was prepared for this but obviously the band wasn’t. Summer had everyone in their group scared stiff and onlookers watching in awe. This might be the first time they’ve heard her speak in school, let alone emote.
Her fiery nature was on full display and it’s intensity was higher than her ponytail. Free from uniform constraints, she wore compression tights and a thin long sleeved shirt that hugged her frame. Summer looked more sporty right now than she has in her entire school life.
The many eyes on the twins' practice didn’t seem to bother her. “Let’s take it from the top.” She grabbed her guitar and began to play immediately. A quick glare to the drummer snapped him out of his trance and got him to play, making the rest fall in line. Live practice was never a thing she did often. People ceased the opportunity all around the gym to watch magic be created before their ears.
Some legends are told, some turn to dust or to gold.
But you will remember me~
Remember me for centuries~
She nodded to Nick and he gripped his mic.
And just one mistake... is all it will take.
We’ll go down in history~
Their breathing synced up.
REMEMBER ME FOR CENTURIES~
Summer raised her fist, silencing the band. The performer turned towards her brother and band. A fraction of a smile crept onto her face. “Better. Not perfect, but much better.” She took a sip of water. “Not to be tyrant-”
“Yet here we are.” Nick said, earning a few laughs from the band and a glare from his sis. “What!? I’m boosting morale!”
“I know. It’s the only reason I’m not chewing your head off. Here I was about to compliment you too.”
“The biggest compliment you can give me is letting us finish the song completely. We’ve only gone about a fourth through it. Everyone knows this song.”
“Anybody can know a song but few feel it. I know you know this. The crowd at the tournament is gonna want hype and they’ll most likely sing along. Our job is to cultivate it to its peak. We are the opening of the event. I picked this song for a reason. If we come out firing on all cylinders then I know we can ride the wave through the whole song! Let me feel your hype, your energy!”
Nick pursed his lips. “If you want energy, then you let these guys have fun! Ice breaker time!” Nick spun around and pointed to the band. “Give me a funky beat!”
The members looked at one another, shrugging before kicking in a fun, funky classic; Billie Jean!
Nick let out the biggest “Yeah~” then started moonwalking around Summer. “Come on Summer, you can’t resist the beat!”
“Really? Of all the songs you think I’m just gonna-” She kicked her leg out and then twirled to the microphone.
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene…!
Nick hopped with joy before chiming in as the band jammed out. Eliza watched the two from off stage with her color guard troop in disbelief, joined by Veronica seconds later in her cheerleader uniform. Eliza waved her hand to her group. “Guys, take ten. I guess it’s break time.”
“Those two seem to be having a ball. They always like this with council stuff?”
“Hardly. It’s the only reason why I’m not yelling at them right now. Can’t remember the last time they looked happy to participate. They can laugh their lungs out as long as the work gets done. Might motivate the others. Anyways, how are you holding up?”
“Oh you know, as much as a newbie could be in this situation.” Veronica shook her pom-poms for dramatic effect. “Feels nice to do something like this again though. It’s like wearing an old glove.”
“History with cheerleading?”
“Gymnastics, my ribbon work doesn’t stop with a needle. That was some time ago but I digress.”
“I see. Well...you move like a pro.” Eliza said, a little stuttery. She played with her hands a bit while focusing on the twins.
Her elevated heart rate rang like a bell while her movements reminded Veronica of herself whenever she first met Coco Axel. “So...a little birdy told me I got a fan of my work here? Got any clue who?” She teased, enjoying Eliza's jump a little. Poor girl's cheeks went red.
Eliza felt a crushing betrayal. “Which twin opened their big mouth?”
“Is the ‘who’ that important?”
“Ah so it’s both?”
Veronica tucked her lips in. “Uhhh I won’t confirm or deny that. To think I’d have a fan all the way up in Atlas?”
“Please, we don’t have to discuss .”
“Why not? No reason to hide it. I’m honestly flattered by it. Civil rights movements don’t attract the right kind of like-minded individuals typically. Then there’s the obvious regional differences.”
“Huh? Regional differences?” Eliza tilted her head. “Have faunus here been giving you a hard time?”
“No, but that’s because I’m making zero effort to approach them. Faunus here as a whole are treated crueler than other places. An outsider like me coming in and trying to ‘relate’ never goes over smoothly.”
Eliza was surprised. She had never heard of that before. “Oh, I guess I was being a bit presumptuous. Apologies.”
“No it’s fine. It’s just one of those annoying little things. A lot of the preach about wanting a voice and equality but sing a different tune when those voices start speaking because they aren’t the ones those people had in their heads. Sigh, we faunus are fickle creatures.”
“Boy, sounds like you hate your job?”
Veronica laughed, “Haha! I wouldn’t go that far. Maybe it’s my unique circumstance but as far as my personal beliefs go, Faunus and Humans are basically the same. They both hate and judge others far too viciously due to bias. I may advocate for our rights, but I’m not above calling ourselves out. It’s probably why the elders especially don’t care for my efforts.”
Veronica turned to Eliza and smiled. “Sorry, rambled for a bit there. Hope I’m ruining your hero perception of me. That is if I am a hero to you?”
“No. Wait! I mean it’s not ruined! You’re definitely inspiring to me. So much in fact that I got a cool magazine cover of you!” It took a minute, but Eliza’s brain registered what she had just said. “I…why did I tell you that?” Eliza facepalmed.
Vee was in shock. Her jaw slowly fell open. “Wow, you are a total fangirl right now. I didn’t think you could look embarrassed. Ha, you’re adorable blushing!”
“Please don’t talk about it…”
“Can I see the magazine cover? I’ll be honest. I rarely pay attention to those puff pieces. My mom handles all that.”
“Really?” Eliza patted her pockets before pulling out her scroll. “It’s from your rally in Vale.”
Veronica had a peek. “Oh I remember this!” The picture was from a year ago. Vale’s rally was pretty huge and loud. The photo was taken right when she had stood proudly on top of a car with a megaphone, protesters following her to city hall. “Not to toot my own horn but look so cool in this.”
“It’s surprising you’ve never seen it.”
“My eyes are usually glued to my sketchbook or a threaded needle. If I’m looking at myself then it’s in the mirror to see how fabric falls onto me or someone else. Speaking of clothes, maybe I can make you an outfit? First one is free. Just wear it to an event; tell your friends about it.”
Eliza lit up, but then immediately started to cringe. “An event is no problem. However...uhhh, yeah, rain check in the whole friend part. A social butterfly, I am not. Don’t have friends.”
“Uh Nick and Summer?”
“Gross.”
Veronica could barely stop herself from laughing out loud. The speed in which Eliza answered was swift to say the least. “Wow, and I thought the twin’s aunt was blunt? Are you sure that message is clear to them, because I’m positive they think you’re a friend.”
“I’m friendly, but not a friend.”
“Do you have their number?”
“Yes.”
“Sad to say you’re their friend. Don’t fight it.”
“What!? That’s not how- what!? From what I understand you and Summer aren’t friends, but I’m positive you have her number.”
Veronica nodded. “Yeah, but that’s necessary for multiple reasons. Besides, we actively shit talk one another. I reckon you don’t. I’m not saying you three are tightly knit. Just that you’re close enough.”
Eliza folded her arms and huffed. “I suppose so. That’s...annoying.”
“Look on the bright side.” Veronica grabbed Eliza’s scroll to put her number in. “Now you aren’t alone. We can complain about their antics together.”
The grin Veronica gave Eliza made her Eliza sheepish. The abrasive girl took her scroll back. “That...sounds nice.” She laughed under her breath.
Veronica couldn’t stop examining Eliza. This girl was all over the place! It was a little funny, awkward, and yet flattering. “Is this how the twins feel meeting fans?” The young lady could get used to this.
“Your last name is Marigold right? I’m so used to such a fierce expression that seeing you like this feels a bit unusual.”
“Used to? I take it you’ve spoken to my aunt then?” Eliza lit up.
“Not really. She’s been at events my mom dragged me to before. Didn’t speak with her directly but she looked pretty interesting. Her and my mom worked together before. You both and your father have some strong genes. I bet the mom must be jealous.”
“I...doubt it.” Eliza said, her tone drifting. The smile on her face faded back to neutrality. A silent breath escaped her lips while her eyes gazed into distance. Her change in attitude didn’t go unnoticed. Veronica’s ears fell watching her.
“Shit, did I...bring up something touchy?”
“It’s okay, honestly. I just wouldn’t know how my mom feels since...I’ve never had one.”
“Oh. I had no idea. Do you wanna talk about it or…?”
“Not really. It’s really not that big of a deal. You just caught me off guard since I’m used to people knowing that part of my life.” Eliza raised both her hands and gave her face a light slap to get out of her funk. Moping about nothing is pointless. Right now she was talking to Veronica, a person she admires! This was supposed to be exciting! “Phew! That’s better. Let’s change the subject. I don’t know much when it comes to fashion, but I have read about some of your involvement in contests.”
For a moment it felt like Veronica’s body had been hit by a truck. The muscles in her body constricted at once and her stomach felt queasy. “Have you now?”
“Just a little bit. It came up from time to time when I learned about your work with your mother. I gotta say your outfits definitely have your personality. More so than some of your contestants.”
“Heh, that’s not what judges think.” Vee uttered. “Not a first place prize to my name.”
“That may be true but that doesn’t make your designs less interesting in my opinion, but I know how you feel. It stings entering contests and sometimes not even making it to the end. Still, I really thought one dress in particular had it in the bag but…” Eliza silenced herself suddenly. She had forgotten the topic of this particular contest may not be light at all. “You...got disqualified?” She finished, cringing at her own stupidity.
“Yep. I got disqualified. No medal at all for that one.”
The air felt dead. Eliza clicked her tongue. “I had forgotten that part. The article never said why though, so it stuck out to me. If..if you don’t mind-”
“I actually do, a lot.” Veronica’s sharp response made Eliza jump a little. A few people passing by took notice of the aggressive tone, making Veronica mentally kick herself. “Shit, that wasn’t supposed to be so...I’m touchy about that day.”
Eliza waved off the comment like she was the one in the wrong. “It’s fine! I should’ve known better.”
“I guess we’re both even now huh?”
“Even!? I wasn’t trying to get back at-”
“Haha, relax before your heart explodes. It was just a tease.”
Eliza’s for got red. “Oh...of course.”
“You weren’t kidding about not having friends. I thought I was bad at small talk.”
Eliza held her head down. “I’m like a dumpster fire…”
“Ha, I can see that. I guess I’m fortunate to do speeches often. Easily the savior of my social skills. My parents are great but I wouldn’t say they aren’t the most elegant people in conversations. At least not ones that aren’t in front of a camera where they have to be. In a regular conversation they are as uncoordinated as they come.”
“I can see that. Yang’s sister does live here after all. She definitely has her own way of holding a conversation.”
“Pfft, that’s one way to put it. Just shake it off. We’re all kinda tone dead I guess.” Veronica laughed. This was fun. This was actually fun. Talking casually, who would’ve thought? She grabbed her water bottle to drink.
Eliza was also having a pleasant time. She was running low on conversation starters though. There had to be something that shouldn’t go horribly wrong. That’s when it came to her…
“So your head over heels for Nick right?”
Water sprayed out of Veronica’s mouth. How did each question keep getting her!? It shouldn’t even have been that bad yet here she was, choking over the most basic thing that everyone knew! Normally she hated being touched but feeling Eliza pat her back was gladly welcomed.
If Eliza didn’t feel bad before, then she definitely did now. “I am so sorry!” her voice was so spastic it would make Summer look calm. “I told you I’m terrible at this!”
“No, agh, no… this one is me!” Veronica coughed. “Damn, that really hurt my chest. It’s like the entire gulp went down the wrong pipe!” A few more coughs and another sip of water cured the promise. Veronica rubbed her chest and tearfully looked at Eliza. “Yeah I’m into him. Why do you ask?” Her desire to act like she didn’t nearly die was strong. “Wait, don’t tell me you like him too!?”
Water wasn't the only thing that was gonna be on the floor with questions like that. Eliza made a face that looked like she may have gagged out of spite. “Ugh, not a chance.” She folded both her arms aggressively.
“Cool, that would’ve been weird.” Veronica thought. Then Eliza began rubbing her chin. That was never a good sign.
“Weeeeeell…” Eliza said.
Veronica deflated like a balloon. “Here we go…”
“Huh? No! It’s not what you think. I don’t like him like that, or much at all really. However, I can’t deny he is...charming to put mildly. I can recognize that. As a whole, I don’t like Nick that much. There’s too much that grinds my gears. That said, there is a side to him I deeply appreciate. Don’t tell him that or I’ll deny it.”
Her tidbit made Vee’s cat ears wiggle. “You gonna leave me hanging like that? Elaborate a little.”
“Really? I didn’t want to diss him in front of you or anything.”
“Tah! Nick doesn’t need anyone coming to his defense and I’m not gonna bite your head off over an opinion, most likely.” She had to add that last part. Veronica doubted Eliza was going to say something that would be unapologetically mean but you can never know what a person could say. “Speak your mind.”
Eliza looked towards the stage to watch the council president in question adjust some light equipment to put on his sister. “That boy is...selfish in the wrong way.”
That sure was an answer. Veronica tilted her head. “I...don’t follow.”
“Nicholas Schnee is a people pleaser, yet he goes out of his way to do things on his own and inefficiently. He has the qualities of a great leader but doesn’t truly lead anyone. Instead he bends over backwards. This entire concert was his idea yet he chose not to fill anybody in on this for weeks; leaving us in the dark when we could’ve been further along. All that money, trust, and influence, yet I fail to see him use it with the care I know he knows how to do. It’s so annoying! Agh, I wish I had a fraction of what his name has.”
“Sounds like to me you’re a little envious?”
“A bit, but that doesn’t change my view of him. You know him. Am I wrong?”
“I’m the last person to judge right or wrong here, but I see what you mean. Nick definitely has his faults, no argument there. I told him the other day he was a bit pushy at times and overbearing. Still, I wouldn’t say those qualities are bad. Nick is… a man on a mission.”
The administration in Veronica’s eyes was clearer than air to Eliza. “Opinions aside, his heart is good. The love he has for family and friends is undeniably. I respect that.”
“Is that the part you deeply appreciate?”
Eliza shook her head. “No, that quality is a given. The side I like is one few people see. I witnessed it for the first time at a red carpet event several years ago. It was our first time actually speaking. I stubbornly declared I’d beat him in a tournament and show everyone how beneath me he was.”
“Wow, your social skills really are rough.”
“Cut me some slack. I was fourteen and cocky. Anyways, I expected him to laugh it off and give that fake smile he gives to the public. Instead, he gave this smug smirk at me and said ‘I can’t wait.’ It was actually chilling. I could tell from his eyes that he was threatening, no, intimidating me. He had no problem letting me know he wanted to take me down, and that’s exactly what he did on tournament day. However, right before our match, Nick took me to the side to chat. It was my first tournament. The anxiety I had was a plan on my face. Instead of using that weakness, he gave me tips to calm down. Having him focus solely on me in that ring was thrilling, different from his usual self. There’s an honesty about it I like. No way somebody can be nice all the time.”
It was for that very reason Eliza knew she had to hear Nick’s offer out. Whenever that look comes out, it spells trouble for who caused it. To think the plan involved beating Valerie? What could he possibly be up to?
Veronica rubbed her chin, intrigued. “So that’s your reasoning. Hmm.” She snapped her fingers and smirked. “Masochistic.”
Eliza bugged out. Her jaw dropped and she was seconds away from protest, until the snickering from Veronica let her know she was teasing again. A smile slowly formed and Eliza playfully elbowed Vee. “Shut up.” She laughed. “Talk about a mood killer.”
Veronica stuck her tongue out before breaking out into laughter when Eliza. Hard to believe the key to being social was being kinda bad at it? It was nice making a friend. Veronica didn’t say it but they were glad to be here.
Across the room, the gym door opened. “Well look who’s having fun!?” A voice bellowe, the condescending echo gaining everyone’s attention. To many’s displeasure, it was Darren sauntering in with his silent partner Max behind him. “Sounds like a real party here. Care if I join? Maybe shake things up a little?”
The upperclassman paced like he owned the place, watching. “Hard at work for my big day?” His eyes go to the stage. “Well if it isn’t the Jester of the School!”
Nick rolled his eyes. “Very original. I’d love to hear more of this comedy act but unfortunately the gym is closed for regular students. Please take your friend and your clown makeup somewhere else.”
“Pfft, you diss like a child.”
“Said the man who called me a jester.” Be it a deity or the universe itself, people should count themselves lucky Nick had high tolerance for stupidity. Darren’s presence was grinding it down however. Punches and nearly getting a friend hit by an asshole’s car did that to an individual.
Summer could see the sparks fly between the two. Grabbing the microphone from Nick with no hesitation, Summer took the lead. Unfortunately for Darren she didn’t have her brother’s tolerance, and she was on her favorite spot in the whole world. “You’re interrupting our practice and wasting my time. Beat it.”
The gym went silent. Did everyone hear that right? Summer Schnee...was rude!? Darren blinked twice, stunned. “Excuse me but, nobody was talking to you.”
“And nobody invited you. Scram.” She shooed him away as if he was a bug.
“Now is that anyone to talk to a superior? I don’t care how famous you are or what your last name is, you little princess. You just keep singing like a little songbird; it’ll be the only good press you get that day before losing to yours truly!”
Summer out of this expression of confusion. “And your name is…? Sorry, I just have a really hard time with faces when they don’t even rank in the top five.” Multiple ‘oooos’ and chatter started going. “Is Dean? Dunce? …..Dumb and Dumber?”
Max let out a simple “Hmph” while Darren got pissed. “So you got jokes huh?” He said through his teeth. It only took one step closer before Nick immediately stepped in front of his sister. Before either could give the audience a glimpse of tournament match l, Eliza flicked the lights off and on to gain everyone’s attention.
“HEY! Knock it off, all of you.” She demanded. Darren’s gaze came her way and towards Veronica by extension. Eliza took a step between the two, stopping a problem before it could start. “Na uh, eyes on me. One word to her and I might let Principal Coal know. May I remind you that after recent behavior it would behoove you to act like a respectable upperclassman, or else-”
“Hey hey hey there, little one, I just came in here to mingle a little; shoot the breeze and all. I’m not the one who got all bent out of shape and started insulting people. Ain’t that right Max?”
Unbothered, Max put his hands behind his head. “That is what happened; dumb jokes or not.”
“Yeah that’s- hey! You aren’t talking about my jokes are you!?”
Eliza took a deep breath. “Consider the breeze shot to hell. Now if you would kindly be on your way so-”
“Uuuugh, you’re so boring, acting like a lifeless doll and shit. Even her frail and tone deaf highness behind me showed some backbone for once.”
“Tone deaf!?” Summer yelled. She would’ve thrown her microphone if Nick didn’t take it from her. “Oh I really hope your bite is at least half as good as your bite. This ‘Princess’ thinks you deserve a public beat down for the world to see, personally delivered!”
“See you at the tournament!” Nick added.
Darren pointed behind himself. “See? At least they’re interesting.”
“If getting egged on by your limp insults is what you want then why should I even bother?” Eliza stepped to the side. “Best be on your way. You can earn my wrath whenever you feel man enough to enter a solo tournament instead of hiding behind your partner.”
“Oh yeah?” Darren glared. “Tough talk from a-” The back of his shirt was pulled by Max.
“Time to go. You’ve had your fun, and I’m getting a headache. No use talking. Let the tournament do all the bragging.” Max began dragging Darren to the exit until Darren brushed him off to walk himself. He gave Eliza one last pissed off look before giving a smug face as he walked away. “Tsk, drug baby.” He mumbles.
Loud footsteps and the sound of metal clanged behind him. Darren quickly turned around, ready for a fight. “Well I guess you can get ma-”He didn’t move. What he thought was Eliza losing her cool was actually her defending him with her baton from a very pissed heir with an Arma Gigas.
“He’s quicker than he looks.” Max grabbed Darren again and all but tossed him out the gym before any actions became an incident.
“Care to tell me why you wanna fight my battles?” Eliza complained.
“I’m not fighting your battles. My patience just got a little restless.” Nick unsummoned his blade and walked away. Thoughts of last night suddenly came to mind, making him sigh. “Sorry. Overstepped a bit. I’m gonna cool off.” He groaned.
Eliza rubbed the back of her head. That was...off. Nick must’ve been more ticked off by Darren than she was aware of. “Just don’t get so jumpy. The last thing I need is you not being able to kick his ass because you got suspended.”
“Haha yes ma’am.”
Eliza clapped her hands loudly. “Okay everyone! Get back to business!” She shouted, returning everything to normal. Thank the gods for at least giving Eliza cooperative staff members. Her body slumped over. Why can’t any event be peaceful! Damn that Darren! Now she wished he was in the solo bracket. Her head lifted to look at Veronica. “I take it if Nick heard that then so did you?”
“Little bit. I can pretend I didn’t. Makes no difference to me.”
“Don’t sweat it. Who likes beading around the bush anyways? You asked about my mom earlier. Now you basically know. To make a long story short, my dad in his younger years spent his money in...less than responsible ways. Who needs love when there’s plenty of clubs and corners with people looking to make a quick buck? My mother just so happened to get a little more than just lien.”
Veronica’s face scrunched up. “Yikes. That’s a lot to unpack.”
“Not really. Never had a mom so it’s not like I’m yearning for a connection when there never was one to start with. One day my dad noticed her pregnant and like you said before, I have strong features. A woman parading around with no home, every drug under the sun, and a potential baby that looked like the CEO of a company one kingdom above is a recipe for ruin. Many board members thought it best for my father to deny anything and everything. Apparently a few of them along with some kind individuals thought it best to move my mother in with him. This way the baby, me, would at the very least be healthy.”
“What about your mother?”
“Ultimatum. Fall in line with this new society and learn to act like a high class citizen, or take a generous amount of money to keep quiet. I don’t look like her so spinning a story wouldn’t do her well, and high class society didn’t mean she could get high any hour of the day. Took the money and never looked back. Tabs were kept on her for a while but she eventually became white noise among the gutter trash of Mantle. A druggie with tons of cash is never good. Most likely ended up in a gutter from overdose or somebody who caught wind of her spending habits.”
“Eliza that’s...I’m sorry that happened.”
“Eh, I’m not losing sleep over it. Not like I got a bad deal either. Contrary to what people might say about my name, my father is a decent man and cares for me as well. He’s by no means perfect but who is? Aunt May told me once that if nothing else, my dad doesn’t make problems bigger than what they have to be. I didn’t ask to be born, so resenting me would be shallow. We get along and that’s all that matters family wise. Though...it’s not like he got a raw deal out of it.” Eliza conjured a small flame in her hand. “He took the high road and learned he got Remnant’s first magical daughter in ages. Talk about good karma.”
“Way to look at the positives.” Veronica said.
Eliza put out the flame. “It’s just the facts. Unfortunately rumors floated and not all people were happy with the decision, so little tidbits here and there got learned. As you can see with Darren’s mouth almost getting him into trouble. The only thing bigger than his mouth is his ego.”
“Yeah, I’m familiar with his type.” Veronica said with annoyance. She was too familiar with it.
“Anywho, I should get back to practice. Thanks for chit chatting. And people say it’s bad to meet your heroes and stuff. I guess they’re meeting the wrong ones.”
“I wouldn’t go that far. I mean I’m pretty rad but you know...modesty and all that. I’m no Blake Belladonna or Yang Xiao Long. Just little ol’ me.” Veronica chuckled. “See ya around?”
“Sooner than you might think.” Eliza twirled her baton and went on her way.
Veronica watched the girl leave. No wonder Nick chose Eliza to be the one to keep an eye on her. She was tough as nails; with or without the uniform! A shame Darren outed her like that. Veronica felt a little dirty learning something Eliza didn’t want to tell her. Veronica was surprised that Eliza didn’t ask for her to return the favor. Then again, it would’ve been pointless. Veronica knew herself. She wouldn’t say a word regardless of fairness. She might have even lied. The girl let out a sigh, taking a moment to look down at herself before heading back to practice. Some things are just better left unsaid.

The Walking Dead / Supernatural: A World Changed
Hii so this is gonna be a story about a crossover but also not really a crossover from the walking dead and supernatural.
Note: Because music inspires me a lot I am going to give all my parts titles and add songs that kinda inspired me or put me in that mood of that part. I’m gonna try to put the link in somewhere or you can look it up on Spotify, Youtube or somewhere else.
Summary: Y/N is from Boston and moved to Los Angeles to be a nanny, she’s been doing it for a while now and loves the two, soon to be three, children like they were her own. One day she goes to work and it seems like the world around her is falling apart. People are dying, unbeknownst to her they are coming back to live. She is trying to find a way so she stays alive and the people around her too and she needs help, but she’d rather does it on her own.
This part will talk more about what happened before y/n met the Winchesters. This will tell us why y/n has a hard time trusting people and staying in one place. There will be flashbacks and they are all written in italics.
Characters: Y/N, OC Alice Cattaneo , OC Mark Cattaneo , OC Birdy Cattaneo, OC Clark Cattaneo, OC Jayden Cattaneo,  Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester, Al.
Warnings: DEATH, angst, language, violence. I think that is it.
I just wanna be clear, in this part and the next there will be talked about why OC Alice and OC Birdy are not in the story anymore.
Music: Remember me - Anadel

Part 5 Remember me
Tumblr media
Walking up to the gate I didn’t see a lot of people inside at all. Then I heard screaming. I tried to look back but, Mason and Tony were holding me. What was going on? BANG! My heart started racing, that was a gunshot. I gathered all the strength I got and finally turned around. I saw Birdy laying in the ground, still. there was blood pooling around her tiny body. ‘’NOO!’’ Alice was screaming crying next to her and so was Clark. I felt my whole body rush with adrenaline and I only saw red. Everything started going in slow-motion. Mason and Tony were trying to grab me, but in doing so they had their hands full with me, so I did the most logical thing and grabbed Masons handgun that was strapped on his belt and shot him in his head. Then I shot Tony and took his machine gun from his body that dropped down. I ran over to Alice and Clark. Billy tried to shoot at me, but I was faster. ‘’RUN!’’ I yelled at Alice. She grabbed Clark in tears. In an opening I grabbed Michael by his shoulder and was pointing the gun at his back. ‘’DROP YOUR WEAPONS!’’ I yelled at them. Michael did as he was told. Tyler was taking a few steps back. ‘’Think about this for a second.’’ He said. ‘’You’ll die out there.’’ He said while trying to point the gun at me, but I was hiding behind Michael. ‘’JUST LET IT GO MAN, YOU FUCKED UP.” Michael said. ‘’You shouldn’t have done that.’’ It was Tyler that did it then. I wanted to strangle him, but I had to think about this for a second. Tyler was not shooting me because I had Michael. I had leverage. ‘’You’re dead here too, I just killed your friends. You pick her up carefully.’’ I pressed my gun into Michaels back to make him hurry up. He slowly crouched down and picked Birdy up. I crouched down with him. ‘’Now you sergeant stay here. Or this friend of yours will also get a bullet in his head.’’ I threatened. My whole body was shaking from adrenaline. We backed up slowly, towards the woods that Alice and Clark ran in.
 Birdy just got killed and I killed three people.

Present day
“I-.. That’s horrible. I am so sorry that happened.” Al stated. I mean what are you supposed to say to that. A child was murdered, a three year old child. She had her whole life a head of her and it was just taken away from her. She had so many things coming her way before all this, but the world went to shit. And now.. now her life has been cut way to short. It isn’t fair. She never even got to meet Jayden. She never got to turn four years old. She never got to have her first crush. She never got to go to high school, college, marry or not marry. She never got to move out. She never got to grow old. She could never have anything like that because of what the world turned into. She never gets to have anything of that. All because of the so called ‘sergeant’ Tyler. I couldn’t even look at Al or Jayden, who had fallen asleep when I was talking, or Clark who was still playing with the sticks he had found.
“Are you ok? It is totally fine if you wanna take a break, or just stop.” Al told me. “No, I- I’m ok I have to do this.” My voice was cracking. I put my hand to my cheek and felt it was wet. I felt one tear go down. I haven’t cried since all that happened. I have to be strong and think about Clark and Jayden. Right now I have to be strong as well. I wiped my cheek and put on my ‘brave face’ to tell the rest of the story.
“After that I went in to the woods with the other soldier. Michael. I still only saw red and I just wanted to be rid of him.”
-
Day 29
“KEEP WALKING!” I yelled at the Michael. I was pressing the gun in his back still. After what felt like a life time we got far enough away from the army base. “Put her down, carefully.” I ordered. And Michael did as he was told. He put Birdy down slowly and carefully. I didn’t want him to suddenly run away, so I took my belt off and told him to go to a tree that was thin but looked strong enough. “Put your arms behind your back.” Again he did as he was told. I tied him up to the tree as tight as I possibly could. He was hissing. Just for that I made it tighter. Fuck him. 
Then I turned around I did everything to not look at Birdy. But even after a while I couldn’t avoid it. And when I saw her my body dropped. I didn’t feel sadness for some reason. My body was flooded with anger. Even more so now. “She was just a child..” I said quietly. But Michael heard. “I’m so, so sorry I- He shouldn’t hav-..” “SHUT UP!” I cut him off. “I DON’T CARE WHY IT SHOULD OR SHOULDN’T HAPPEN! I WANNA KNOW WHY IT HAPPENED!” I stood up and walked towards him with my gun pointed at him. “She.. She was positive. She had the virus.” He stammered. “THAT’S IMPOSsible-..” Her arm I remembered. When the dead came in to the house she had covered her arm. I walked over to the side where Birdy had hurt her arm and took off the bandages.
“No.” She was bit. This was my fault. I should’ve checked her. I should have.. I should have done better. Why didn’t I check her.
“You know they are gonna come looking for me. We don’t have a lot of people anymore. So Tyler wants everybody he can save. You can make him get you food, water, clothes, medicine anything you want. You got the upper hand here.” Michael told me.
“Do you have a knife?” I asked. “I didn’t see you drop any knifes earlier and I know you should have one, so where is it.” I tried to sound as calm as I possibly could. Which was very hard. An Michael looked like he hoped I didn’t know that. Though luck. 
“Uhm.. I-” He stammered. I pointed the gun at him again. And walked around him. “Well?” I asked waiting for his answer. When I was behind him I saw that he was holding a pocketknife. “I’ll take that.” And I grabbed it out of his hands. 
“Just don’t do anything you’ll regret. We could really help you.” He tried again. 
“And you will. You’ll make sure that your friend will leave us alone.” Meanwhile I opened the pocketknife. Walked towards him and slit his throat. “You just won’t be alive to tell him that.” 
I put the knife away in my pocket and walked towards Birdy. My body felt just heavy seeing her. It hurt. So I decided to push all of that away for now. There will come a time where I can deal with it. That time is just not now. Now I have to find Alice and Clark and be strong. I have to put on my brave face. I picked up Birdy and started looking for Alice and Clark.
-
It took me a couple of hours to find Alice and Clark. When I found them Alice broke down. Seeing Birdy like this. “I thought, I’d take her, so we can burry her.” I stated. I felt numb. Holding Birdy for that long, while she is so still. She could never really sit still or keep quiet. She always wanted to play and talk, but now, now it was nothing but quietness and no movement. 
“Thank you.” Alice said between sobs.
Not to far from where we were there was a graveyard. It was the best place to put her. Nobody dead or alive will bother her there. We put a rock on her grave that said, Birdy Cattaneo the bravest girl on earth. After that we found a car that worked and decided to go North. Wyoming. It was December so it was all very cold every where we went. To drive away from that graveyard was the hardest thing I have ever done. It felt like my heart was being ripped to pieces the further we got. It was hard to breathe. But it was for the best, getting as far away as possible from this place. Alice was crying almost the whole way and Clark was just very confused about it all and asked ‘Bubba?’ a lot.
That day was the longest day I have ever had.
-
Day 40
After a couple of days we already had found a house. This was good because it was so cold now. There was a thick layer of snow laying outside, but luckily not to thick where we couldn’t walk through anymore. After all that happened I didn’t talk a lot. Neither did Alice. It was mostly quiet beside Clark talking up a storm.
“Oh no.” I heard Alice say. “What happened?” I asked as I walked in the kitchen where Alice was.
“My water.. it broke, but it is too early. We still have about two weeks.” Alice panickily stated. We both knew that when het water broke there was only about a twelve hour window where the baby needs to be born before it would get dangerous for him.
“Ok, what do you need?” I asked. “Towels, water and something to wrap him in.” And I did as I was told. I searched the house for all the things we needed. In one of the closets I found a small blanket where he could be wrapped in.
When I came down stairs I saw Alice leaning over. “Do you have contractions?” I asked. I took a little bit for her to answer. “Yes, but they are far apart and not regular.” She stated out of breath.
In the middle of all this I put Clark down in one of the guest rooms the people had who lived here before. He was asleep really fast luckily.
After about six hours the contractions were getting a bit closer. But not close enough yet.
“Can you promise me something y/n?” Alice asked. It was so quiet now it startled me that she spoke.
“Yes, anything.” I answered back. I looked at her and her face was being lit by the light of the fire we had going to keep us warm. Outside it was pitch black. It was just a little after midnight.
“If I die-” She started but I cut her off. “You’re not going to everything will be ok.” I told her quickly. “We don’t know. And that’s ok, but I need you to promise me something. Please.” There was a pause. The truth is, we didn’t know what was going to happen. But I couldn’t bear the thought of her dying too, so soon after Birdy.
“If I don’t make it. Will you be their mother? I-.. I just don’t want you to get separated again and the children look like you and.. I just.. I know it is a lot to ask, but if I die they will not have anybody else.”
“I will, but nothing is going to happen to you.” I told her. 
-
present day
“All through the night I told her that she’d be ok, but it was a lie I was telling myself. We both knew she wasn’t going to make it. After eleven hours Alice started pushing. And everything went so quickly. She pushed for about an hour when Jayden was born.” I looked at Jayden who was still sound asleep next to me.
“But I was so busy with Jayden, cleaning him and being distracted by his crying that I didn’t notice that Alice was bleeding out. I asked her what do I do, but she never responded... I was too late to do anything and even if I wasn’t too late, I didn’t know what I was doing or how to save her. I tried CPR, but that obviously didn’t help. I just.. I- I couldn’t do anything beside letting her die. And when she wasn’t breathing anymore I covered her with a blanket that was hanging over the couch. Then I walked upstairs with Jayden.”
-
Day 41
Jayden had fallen asleep luckily. I was freaking out Alice had died giving birth. How am I supposed to take care of him. There is no milk or anything for him to eat. I would have to look for formula. Where am I supposed to find that? Probably everything was taken by now. For now water will have to do, because I don’t have anything else.
Then all of a sudden I heard rumbling down stairs. I got the knife that I held in my pocket and went downstairs to investigate the noise. When I came down Alice’s body was gone. 
“What the fuck?” Did someone move her? Did the dead get inside. Because before we got here there was no dead for miles. 
I walked around towards the kitchen and there I saw it. It was Alice. “Alice, are you ok? I- I thought you..” I started and when she turned around I saw that she was one of the dead. But she wasn’t bitten or sick.
“No..” I trailed off. How could this happen? I was backing up from her. She started following me and making noises. She sounded like she was one of the dead. “Alice, please..” She came closer. I tried pushing her. “Alice!” This can’t be happening. Then I let myself go numb. I pushed her up against the wall and looked her in the eyes while she was still probably trying to eat me. “I’m sorry. I will take care of them.. I promise.” And the I put my knife through her head. She stopped moving.

Present day
“After that I dug a grave in their backyard and buried her next to a big tree. I cleaned up everything inside, like nothing had happened.” I told Al.
“What did you tell Clark?” She asked.
“Nothing. He was too young to understand any of it. And if he asked I’d tell him she is with Birdy. But he stopped asking about her really quickly and started calling me mamma. And I am. In every single way besides blood.” I stated. I looked over at Clark. He was waving all the sticks at me that he had found.
“We stayed in that house for a while.. Looking back at it.. We should have never left. Because the people I met after that were people that were from a horror movie.” Thinking about it, made me sick.

Through the Blizzard (fluff)
Tumblr media
Ta-da!
A little birdy told me it was @flowers-in-your-hayr​‘s birthday today! So, happy birthday my sweetie! This lil’ one-shot is inspired, as you can see, by your moodboard “A movie night with Bill;” the scenario is based around a blizzard but that’s only because its a swap out for the quarantine HA
Also, I just really love snow so.. forgive 
I hope you have an amazing day and this put a little smile on your face.. Happy birthday, my sweet Gabi! 🥰❤
Warnings: Language, fluffiness
Enjoy!
—————-
Get up. Am outside.
The text is what buzzed you to life originally, and you scoff from your warm nest of blankets before shuffling to the door. You’d had absolutely no intentions not desire to move, Mother Nature had killed any desire to go outside and enjoy the, what could’ve been, nice day.
Instead? An unpredictable, almost nonstop blizzard. Snow had already fallen and hardened halfway up your front door after just two days, and you couldn’t bring yourself to be bothered with it.
Ever.
Winters were rough but this?
Ridiculous.
You finally pad your socked feet to the front door and fling it open.
“Whaaaat?” You groan; your annoyed facade doesn’t last however, as soon as your eyes fall onto the man before you.
Bill’s eyelashes were almost completely white with snowflakes and his normal, pale face (what stuck out, that is) was rosy from the bitter cold. Flannel hat upon his head and scarf tied up to his nose, he looked something akin to a Swedish abominable snowman.
“I told you not to come out!” You scold, helping his frozen-self shrug off the wet, heavy jacket. “Look at you, Bill! You’re shivering and soaked!”
“And you’re not returning my calls or texts,” he says defensively. “The last thing you said was that you weren’t going out for any dates. So,” he reaches back outside to haul three large, thick duffel bags into your house, and you lick the corner of your lips in adoration and annoyance.
“I’m bringing the dates to you!”
“I don’t need dates,” you whine, shambling back to your cocoon. “I need sunshine! I need the warmth! I don’t see why we can’t go somewhere.”
“You heard the weather, gorgeous,” Bill says softly, dragging his duffel bags across the floor to place in front of you, as if to appease you. “Traveling to and from here is basically shut down; otherwise, we’d be gone.” He sends you a sympathetic shrug before leaning forwards, kissing your lips deeply.
“By the way, hello to you too,” he teases, smiling as you kiss his nose.
“You’re still cold; go take a shower and warm up since you’re apparently going to be bunking with me for a while.”
“Will you be joining me?”
“Stop wiggling your eyebrows, I need to make dinner.”
“No dinner,” he says excitedly. “I’ve brought other arrangements.”
Instantly, your ears perk up and you watch him slowly undo the duffel bags. Your heart flutters as he starts unpacking various goodies and treats:
Candy, cookies (and things to decorate bake-able ones with) four boxes of microwave popcorn, bags of individual pouches of chips, small cans of soda, and countless mini-boxes of sugary cereals.
“Are you trying to kill me before this is over?” You tease.
“No, but bears eat a bunch of shit before they go on hibernation, I’m just mimicking such a habit.”
“Because they’re bears, Billy,” you giggle. Before he has the chance to pout, you lean forwards and kiss his cold cheek, “it was very sweet of you; thank you handsome man.”
“You’re welcome,” he mumbles softly around his smile, digging into his second duffel bag for pajamas before standing. “I’m going to take a shower. Do not go into the third bag!” He points his finger at you in warning, and you tilt your head.
“Why not?”
“Because it’s a surprise for later.”
“Bill-“
“Do not, you hear?” He says one final time. Finally, you raise your hands in surrender as he shuffles off to the shower, pushing yourself off the couch to go make some soup and cocoa for your handsome snowman.
————
You hadn’t meant to peak. Honest. All you had been doing was stirring the pot that held your boiling soup, when you heard a softish crash from the living room. You jump, gripping your hot spoon in your hand and stalking out to your living room to see Bill’s duffel bags tipped over. You sigh in relief and shake your head, moving to pick it up and accidentally knocking out a ton of movies, ranging from Disney to Horror to his own. Gasping you pick up Monsters Inc., and your heart flutters in excitement.
The shower shuts off and you quickly scramble to put all the movies away, keeping Monsters Inc. in your grip as you hurry to the kitchen, tending to your soup.
A few moments later, Bill comes out of the shower in dry pj’s and damp, fluffy hair, cheeks flushed from the heat. “Hey handsome man, feel better?”
“Much better,” Bill hums, wrapping his arms around your waist. “Thank you, gorgeous.” You feel his lips press against your hair before moving down to your neck, laying his head along the curve of your neck. “Hey babe?” He asks suddenly.
“Hm?”
“Where’d you get the Monsters Inc. dvd?”
“Can we watch it during dinner!” You whine, picking up the dvd from its poor hiding spot under a loaf of bread and spinning around in his arm; you flash him your biggest puppy eyes. “Pleaaaaaase!!”
He smirks, “so you went in the bag.”
“It fell,” you mumble. “Please, Billy? It’ll be fun!”
“I know it will, babygirl,” he assures, smiling. “That’s why I brought them.”
“So can we?”
He sighs dramatically, gently hooking a lock of your hair behind your ear, “only if we can watch Lion King with dessert.”
“Are you going to make fun of me for crying over Mufasa?”
“Probably,” he teases, plucking the dvd from your hand, “you keep cooking dinner, I’ll set it up.”
“You’re my favorite!”
“I know.”
———-
After setting up tiny tables and a small throne of pillows to cuddle up with Bill on the floor, warm bowls making your tummies full and sending pleasant heat to course through your veins. On the tv played Monsters Inc., just as Bill had promised.
You finish your soup and kick your legs up close to you, cuddling into Bill’s side; Bill sips the last of his soup before wrapping his arm around you and kissing your temple.
“So, you still mad at me for bringing you a date?” He asks, smiling. You giggle and wrap your arms around his neck, kissing along his neck and jawline and relishing in his gentle chuckles.
“I suppose I can forgive you for trudging out in the snow, just to watch some movies with me,” you hum happily.
“Good, I’m glad.”
Bill smiles and as the movie ends, he goes to change it from Monsters Inc. to assumedly the Lion King as he wanted before, but you whine and hold him tighter.
“What’s the matter, sweetheart?”
“I’m comfy, don’t move.”
“I need to change the movie.”
“Mm, later,” you sigh, humming happily and nuzzling back against him as he shifts back to his original position. He chuckles and lays his head against yours, “my needy girl.” He pats around the ground for a bag of candy and humming as he grabs Twizzlers
“You know you love it.”
“Guilty.”
You smile at his simple words before letting your eyes drift over to the darkness outside, and you see the snow falling angrily in the glare of your lights against your windows.
“Thank you... again, Billy,” you sigh, hugging him tighter. “I love you.”
“I love you too,” he whispers sweetly, kissing your head. “I just wanted to make sure you’d be okay during this, not too cabin feverish.”
“Well you’re definitely making it better,” you say happily, hitting his cheek with a Twizzler.
“I’m glad, my love...” he chuckles, biting half of the Twizzler and sending you a wink. “Now let me love you even more and let me put on a new movie, this ending music is driving me up the wall.”
