#it'd be like trying to put out fire with fire and only turning a candle that's a bit out of control into a forest fire

okok ok ok i got some more of it done and the grammar is better, eat up fuckers /lh
"That'll be $10.95." I say in my barely awake tone, trying to make it through the next five minutes so I can finally clock out. The tall ginger nods and pulls out his wallet, its barely a wallet anymore with how its falling apart. He has become one of the regulars, at least for my shift. Getting the same pack of cigs every month, only thing different is the amount of lighters this bastard goes through.
If I were asked to give a number on how many cigarettes he buys a month, it'd be around six. "Here, $11…" He says quietly, bringing myself back to reality. Holding out the two bills in front of me, I ring up his items: a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. Giving him back a nickel in the process. After the transaction was complete, he grabbed the items and shoved them in his pocket before turning the corner and exiting the store.
Sighing after a deep breath, I look around; there's nothing to clean up tonight. The night-shift guy comes from the back of the store and walks up beside me behind the counter. "Slow night, lets hope it stays that way through my shift too…" I nod and pat the counter, not really wanting to stay and chat. "Well, it's time for me to head out. See ya-" After clocking out for the day, I step outside the store and close my eyes as my head tilts up. Taking a deep breath in, I look to the right. The ginger regular was there leaning against the wall. Listening to something he had playing on his Walkman as he wrote or drew in a small book as he smoked. Walking to the side, I pull out my pack of cigarettes and then check my pockets for my lighter. After a few seconds of searching, I pull one out of my back pocket. Trying to ignite it with the smallest flame, I only found it empty. "Damn…" Trying to play it off and hoping no one saw me struggle with the lighter, I turned to the guy, who was still writing in his journal. Walking over to him, he glances hesitantly back and forth between the book and myself. "Hey, can you give me a light?" I say awkwardly, smiling at him. He nods quickly and shyly as he pockets the pen and book in the inner pocket of his trench coat. He swiftly pulls out the lighter he just bought and lights it. "Here, long day?" he says through his shy demeanor as he pockets the lighter. "Yeah…" I stand next to him, leaning against the store wall, taking a drag of the cigarette and letting the bitter smoke enter my lungs. "So, not to sound intrusive, but why do you buy so many lighters?" I say, trying to make small talk with him. He looks away and thinks for a second before responding.
"I like watching fires. I uhm... have a fire pit behind my house and a lot of candles inside my house too..." he says in a slightly hushed tone. I can tell he doesn't talk much to other people.
"Oh, nice." I respond before we both go silent, just enjoying the weather before the wind picks up. The air starts to become damp and cold, and I take a last drag of my cigarette before putting it out. He does the same by smothering his with the sole of his boot as he sighs. "Well, it was nice meeting you," he says in a low tone.
"Yeah, you too. Hey, thanks for letting me use your lighter. I'll see you around." I say, feeling just a bit more awkward than a few seconds before. I scratch the back of my neck as I smile.
"Hell yeah, sounds nice." A soft, subtle smile appears on his face, and I look up to see my awkward reflection staring back from his shades. Watching as his long hair blows in the wind and the goatee, though slightly untamed, completes the look.
"Hey, you alright?" He asks, snapping me out of my trance. "Oh. I'm sorry, really. I'm sorry. I was staring. Storms are coming. I should probably go." Flustered, I look down, not wanting to make eye contact with him. "Yeah, we should start to leave. Well, see you!" I see a hand come into my view. Looking up, he has an awkward smile on his face. I reach to shake his hand, and it's firm and strong.
Nodding, he turns away, fidgeting with his Walkman to turn it up. I feel disappointed as he leaves, wanting to stay and chat with him more. Walking back to my car, rain starts to fall. As I get into my car, the rain becomes heavy. I hope that the guy got into his car or got home before it started pouring. Turning the car on, the radio starts to play some music, but I quickly put one of my cassettes into the player, Type O Negative's album Bloody Kisses. As I start to drive back to my house, listening to the music and the rain, the image of the guy slips into my mind. 'Did I even get his name? Shit, I don't think I did. Well lets hope he comes back to the store tomorrow.' I thought as I pulled into the driveway. After gathering all the items in my car and shoving them into a drawstring bag and stuffing it under the seat, I look around before leaving the car. A dingy, rundown apartment complex has old, faded murals covered by amateur graffiti tags, and vines cover the lower parts of the walls. One part of the building has smashed windows; it was from some altercation between an ex, so I've heard. Taking the cassette out of the car radio and back into its case, I pocket it. Once the rain lessened I made my way to the entrance, the inner hallways reeked of old tobacco and the paint was peeling in the weekspots of the walls.  Going to the second floor via the stairs, I made it to my apartment. Checking the hall before opening the door is important because as soon as the door is unlocked, the power to the complex goes out. A loud crack of thunder follows. Walking into the now-dark abode and locking the door behind me, a sigh escapes. "Fucking hell..." I say to myself, using the lighter to find the large DIY three wicked candle on the coffee table. Once I find it and light the wicks the room starts to brighten with the flickering glow of the fire.  Posters line the walls where the paint peels, small piles of trash are scattered around. Hearing footsteps emerge from the bathroom, a groggy roommate enters the living room.
"Why does it have to be that every time a storm comes around, our place gets struck?" Mikey, the roomate says. They are wearing a stained white tanktop and are holding a toothbrush in their hand as they walk to the fridge. "Because this place sucks balls, what do you think? How's everything holding up anyway?" I ask as I sit down on the couch, taking my shoes and hoodie off and placing them to the side. "Oh yeah, we also have to get this shithole cleaned up, but we can do that later." I add. Mikey opens the fridge, grabbing a water bottle and opening it with their teeth. "Well, since we can't do much because the powers are out, we could start to clean up." Mikey proposes as they use the water bottle to raise their mouths out of the kitchen sink. "We need something like an oil lamp."

MERCEDES VARNADO X ZENDAYA LOVE STORY SMUT WARNING ⚠️ PART 9 of the continuation of the woman at the bar love story
Chapter 35
Zendaya is wearing white shirt with ripped pants and shoes
I felt a quick tap on my shoulder, I turned around to see all four of my friends with balloons, flowers and camilla was holding out a cupcake with a small flame from a candle "hurry and blow it out before we get into trouble says camilla as she laughed and I gave them a slight smirk and blew out the candle and they didn't talk to me all day yesterday but my birthday was a sure fire way to make them break the ice and they did "thanks girls as I smiled and started my Line of hugs with normani "I'm still mad at you but I love you, I was gonna bake you a whole cake but you only deserve a cupcake says ally as she smirked and I grabbed her waist and pulled her into a big hug to pick her up off her feet which resulted in some hysterical laughing, ally is wrapped around my finger most of the time
After putting her back on the ground, the bell began ringing and the girls handed me my presents before walking me to class in our little squad and I took my seat in the back so the balloons and shit wouldn't be in the way, I think it's sweet but I hate when people bring balloons to school because I'm probably going to lose them and after ms mercedes finished calling for attendance, she stepped in front of the class and began speaking "now I want you all to read the first scenes of Romeo and juliet, take out a piece of paper and write down all the things you don't understand, you can talk but please be respectful to those around you says mercedes as she smiled looking over every student then stopping at me "oh, happy birthday zendaya says mercedes
"Thanks as I blushed but quickly regained myself so I wouldn't look like a idiot and the girls sat close by me so they could talk but I stayed out of the conversations, sometimes I didn't feel like I connected to them so I laid low for my own personal reasons, mostly because make up and forever 21 dosent always interest me and i tapped my pencil on the desk before looking up at the clock to see its only been 10 minutes and I internally groaned and scanned my eyes around the class to meet Ms mercedes, a small smirk formed on her face before she looked down at the papers on her desk to continue scribbling and my face began getting a little heated before I looked back down at my book and started flipping through pages so it'd look like I was actually doing something
I felt my phone go off in my pocket, I carefully pulled it out and read the text
Camilla: go to the bathroom like really quick, I got a present for you
Zendaya: I really don't wanna get up but fine, be there in a second
I got up from my seat and slowly strolled up to ms mercedes desk "may I please go to the bathroom says zendaya and mercedes smiled "yes you may, but take a pass says mercedes "sure as I responded before grabbing a pass and heading to the only clean bathroom in this whole disgusting school and I walked into the bathroom to see that there was no one even in there "what the hell camilla as I whispered to myself "what says camilla behind me which made me jump "fucking shit, I hate when you and Lauren do that to me as I complained while trying to get my heart to calm the fuck down and camilla sent me this half smirk and giggled "sorry zendaya I just didn't think you'd get here this fast says camilla
"Yeah well I wasn't working so why stay in class as I smirked sitting on the counter beside the sink "ms mercedes on your ass again says camilla as she laughed walking over to the mirror and brought out her favorite mango lip gloss, she's used that type of lip gloss ever since I met her and I shook my head "nah not today, she actually went easy on me today and camilla put the cap back on the gloss before quickly swipping her tounge over her bottom lip while walking over to me, she stood between my legs and gripped my hips "how about I go beg your English teacher to let you off detention for your birthday, maybe she'll understand says camilla
"No that's ok, my birthday will be very special tomorrow trust me as I felt a little awkward being with camilla after I went through all of that with mercedes but she didn't notice and camillas hand latched around the back of my neck and she pulled me into a kiss, I met her lips and felt a little uncomfortable so I pulled away "what says camilla as she laughed looking back at my lips and I shook my head and bit my lip hopping off the counter "I gotta get back to class, I was adventuring before I came in here says zendaya "oh says camilla sadly moving away from me and I kissed her cheek and looked back to her saying "I'll see you before detention okay says zendaya and she nodded and I exited the bathroom before running into Mr Robin and falling on the ground
He stood with his hands on his hips "where is your pass says Mr Robin and I felt down my body before getting up and smiled "I think I left it in the bathroom says zendaya "it is a hazard to not have a pass with you at all times, you're obviously trying to skip out on some class, may I know who's says Mr Robin with a proper yet boring drawl "mercedes says zendaya and Robin perked up with a smile "very well then, I'll deliver you to her classroom says Mr Robin. If I didn't know any better, this bald, lonely man had a crush on my mercedes. What are the odds and we made it to her class and he held me by my arm and walked me in
"Ms mercedes says Mr Robin in a stern voice yet happy voice "I found a nuisance that belongs to you galvavanting around this campus, I thought I'd do what I could to return her for you says Mr Robin "why thank you says mercedes with a smile and I glared over at Mr Robin "I already told you i was at the bathroom and my pass was in there if you would've just let me get it, I left it on the sink when I was washing my hands says zendaya "ms zendaya sit down says mercedes as she directed me before getting up to walk towards Mr Robin "I actually have a question for you sir say mercedes as she faded off into the hallway and kicked my seat to the back of the class before sitting down angrily, why the hell am I always in trouble
"Were you really messing around in the halls Says Lauren as she smirked and I shook my head "no, camilla asked me to me her in the bathroom, she started getting handy and I pushed her off and left her there, I just couldn't bring myself to do anything says zendaya as Ms mercedes walked back into class with a goofy smile on her face and the bell to have us released from this period rang and ms mercedes called out "don't forget to read the first few scenes and write down what you don't understand says mercedes and I packed my bag and heard my name from the front of the class "zendaya, stay after please says zendaya. What have I done now
The class filled out with normani being the last one to leave and close the door and I slipped my backpack onto my back before grabbing my balloons and flowers "you want me to take those until later says mercedes as she looked up with a smirk while she messed with the top buttons of her blouse and I nodded and put them on her desk and she stood up and leaned in to press her lips to mine and move them for a second before she pulled away "you're gonna have a very happy birthday today says mercedes as she sat back down in her leather chair and waved me off "now stay out of trouble and meet me here after school says mercedes "wouldn't miss it for the world as I responded almost skipping out of the room
Chapter 36
"So what do you have planned for this special day as I asked ms mercedes sitting on the table of the desk and she smiled walked up and stand in between my legs and grab my hips lightly as she whipped her hair out of her face "well there's a place outside of Anaheim that I have always wanted to take someone says mercedes "oh really says zendaya "mhm says mercedes as she leaned in to kiss my neck before continuing "then since you're 18, we will go back to your house says mercedes as her lips met my neck again "I like the sound of this says zendaya "and you'll get a lap dance says mercedes and I pushed ms mercedes off of me to grab her and start pulling her towards the door "what the hell are we waiting for says zendaya
Ms mercedes stopped my pull on her with a giggle and covered the beautiful mouth with her hand "lemme get my bag and your presents from your friends says mercedes and I tapped my foot impatiently and watched as she bent down in that tight skirt, my mouth almost started watering and ms mercedes stood back up with her Gucci bag on her shoulder "how about I meet you up at your house because I need you to get yourself a swim suit says mercedes "ugh fine as I ran over to place a kiss on ms mercedes cheek before running out of the classroom thinking about the exact bikini I would wear to make her head spin
----
Zendaya is wearing unbuttoned shirt with white shorts as swimwear
Mercedes turned down a rural road to pass over a bridge that was built over a small river, she drove up a dirt road on a hill and parked at the side of a cliff over a waterfall and I sat in the car for a moment and looking at her "you're taking me cliff jumping says zendaya and mercedes smiled and nodded "it's the only way I could get your ass in a swim suit says mercedes and I laughed and pulled my shirt off over my head to throw it on the floor of her car and looked over to see mercedes ogling me and I leaned over the console to connect our lips together before crawling over the gearshift to straddle her lap, my fingers ventured down to mess with the hem of her shirt and I pulled it up over her head to reveal her amazingly hot bikini top that covered her breasts in all the right ways
As I moved our lips together, I blindly reached for the car door handle to open it and swiftly get out and mercedes clicked her tounge "you really wanna be a tease to me right now says mercedes and I smiled back at her while unbuttoning my pants in her sight of vision to pull them down and reveal my white shorts, her eyes got big and I'm sure she scanned me 30 times before regaining her composure "being older gives me perks to certain things like lottery tickets, voting and teasing as I responded with a smirk "you coming or not says zendaya and mercedes hurried to pull off her skirt before getting out of her car and walking with me over to the edge and I had a slight fear of heights so looking down at this monstrous drop scared me, I was always taught to not jump off a cliff
"Don't worry says mercedes as she whispered in my ear "I'll be right in after you says mercedes and I nodded and took a deep breath before running and lunging myself off of the side of the tall rock, I held my nose and waited for the crash, my body met the slightly warm water and I dove further down than anticipated, mercedes made it down right after me and began swimming to the top before I could get to her and she reached the surface but I slowly swam up to entrap my arms around her waist before popping up and she nudged me softly "you scared me for a second, I thought you hot your head or something says mercedes and I kissed her lips and pulled her close while trying to keep my body a float "I'm glad to know you care says zendaya
"Of course I care says mercedes as she pecked my lips once more before pulling away to look in my eyes "let's go over there says mercedes and I let go of mercedes to swim after her behind the small waterfall where she Sat down on a stone slab that stood under the water about three feet, I crawled on top of her lap and began kissing her while my hands entangled themselves in her wet hair ,her long fingers slightly grazed my back while I rocked my hips into her and I pulled away to look at her and see that bright smile light up, I was able to make that happen, me and I rolled off of her and got close so she could wrap her arms around my waist and pull me close while we looked out at this beautiful scene
Mercedes ran her fingers through my tangled hair before laying her hand on my hip, we listened to the loud crash of the waterfall meeting the stilled water below "do waterfalls dry up as I asked honestly, I mean, I didn't know so I might as well ask questions "I'm sure they do says mercedes as she answered back softly rubbing circles into my skin "that's a shame and kinda scary to think about as I was going to let my mind roam "think about just sitting here and all of a sudden the water just stops, what happens to the wildlife and plants that are recipients of this water, do they find a new home or just die off says zendaya "you can ask all these questions about a damn waterfall but when it comes to Shakespeare you're numb to the situation says mercedes as she laughed and laid her chin on my shoulder
Zendaya shrugged "I guess that's just how my mind works, I'm dumb where it counts but no one has ever really expected for me to have an interest in anything besides weed or jokes says zendaya "and what's your interest besides weed or jokes says mercedes and I turned to face and laid my legs over hers before laying my hands behind me to lean back "you really wanna know as mercedes nodded "I don't think I really found my interests until I met you says zendaya and it got super quiet as mercedes stared me down which made my self conscience level spike up to uncomfortable lengths "and if that's not the Cheesiest thing I've said, I dunno what is says zendaya and mercedes licked her lips and glanced out at the scenery before looking back at me "what interests you about me says mercedes
"Well that fact that you're smoking hot dosent hurt as I joked which made her giggle lightly, God I could listen to that giggle for the rest of my life "but I like that you've got some brains with your beauty, I feel like you were underestimated when you grew up to be who you are now, I think a successful, strong independent woman is the biggest interest I could ever have in my whole life says zendaya and mercedes bit her lip and responded "you keep talking like that and you'll get two lap dances tonight says mercedes and the one thing she could make me do is laugh even during the most awkward and serious moments "but thank you says mercedes as she continued "what are your interests besides teaching half-brained high school students you meet at a bar says zendaya as she smirked
"I sing says mercedes as she admitted with a soft voice "are you any good says zendaya and you always have to ask these questions and mercedes nodded "yeah I am, I always wanted to make a life out of singing but my mom told me it wasn't 'practical' so I did as I was told and studied to be an English teacher says mercedes "sing to me says zendaya as she smiled and mercedes shook her head vigorously "no no I can't says mercedes "why not, it's just you, me and the waterfall, sing me some Beyonce or something as I smiled scanning her face to see her begin to come out of her shell just a little "ok ok says mercedes as she cleared her throat and began to sing, I didn't expect to hear what I heard but when I did I knew I fell in love
"If I were a boy even just for a day I'd roll outta bed in the morning and throw on what I wanted and go drink beer with the guys and chase after girls I'd kick it with who I wanted and I'd never get confronted for it cause they'd stick up for me. If I were a boy I think I could understand how it feels to love a girl, I swear I'd be a better man I'd listen to her cause I know how it hurts when you lose the one you wanted cause he's taken you for granted and everything you had got destroyed" her voice was like the sound of a thousand angels descending from heaven, I thought her giggles and moans were hot but this took the cake, her voice was absolutely remarkable and beautiful, I was beginning to think she was a robot because I don't understand how someone can be this perfect
Although she's not a robot because the water would've shorted her circuits out by now, my mouth was dropped and I was at a loss for words, she fiddled with her fingers under the clear water and looked down "was I that bad says mercedes "are you fucking kidding me as I hollered "fuck Beyonce, you're my queen baby says zendaya, I've never seen someone's smile brighten up so much at just those small words

Zendaya is wearing a t-shirt with boxer briefs
"Babe, I'm ready are you sitting in that seat as mercedes called out from the hallway while I was seated in a chair with my hands aching to touch her and she left me here to 'change' and I was basically throbbing in my shorts just thinking about what she'd be wearing and a familiar base filled song by Chris brown played loudly throughout the house and mercedes clicked her heels into the room and my eyes widened seeing her beauty while being half naked, her beautiful tan body was absolutely flawless in that skimpy thong, her bra was so tight that I'm sure if she did anything too 'athletic' they'd pop right out of the cups "here we are all alone in this room and girl I know where to start and what we're gonna do"
Mercedes walked around my chair with this fire in her eyes until she was behind me, her hands grazed over my torso but she made sure she'd stop right at my tits before walking back around to stand in front of me "I'll take my time we'll be all night girl so get ready babe I got plans for me and you" mercedes got on her knees and used her hands to spread my legs before slowly eye fucking me while Standing up to straddle one of my legs "it ain't my first time but baby girl we can pretend, hey let's bump and grind girl tonight we'll never end" her core slowly grinded on the skin of my thigh to the beat of the music "let me take you down, I really wanna take you down and show you what I'm about, can I take you now, your body body oh, your body body up and down"
Mercedes got up and decided to straddle both of my legs and rock her hips into mine at the exact same beat of the audio "so don't stop girl get it, quit playing wit it, can't wait no more, I wanna take you down, I really wanna take you down, take you down yeah" my hands were aching to touch her, I ran my hands up her torso and grabbed her tits but she stopped me with a smirk to put her hands over mine and crawl off of my lap while the song continued "pretty girl let's take it off in this room, no time to waste girl you know what we came to do" mercedes clicked her heels back behind my chair to reach for the t-shirt I had on and pull it off over my head, she used the oversized shirt to tie my hands behind my back quickly almost as if she's done this before and with the confidence she was showing, I'm sure she has
"We got all night to try to get it right girl, I hope you're ready babe, cause here we go, we know how we do, it ain't my first time but baby girl we can pretend, hey let's bump and grind girl tonight, we'll never end" mercedes hurried to get back in front of me and straddled my other leg to do the same core rubbing on my other thigh "you're freaking now baby, like a pro baby, and I bet that you think you know baby like a pro baby, so what you wanna do" mercedes got up to straddle my waist and press her tits in my face, almost making me crave her at dangerously high levels "let me take you down, I really wanna take you down and show you what I'm about, can I take you down now, your body body oh, your body body up and down" her hands traveled down my bare body which caused her nails to send scratches up and down my soft skin
My hands began slipping out of the 'tie' and did what I could to keep my hands my back but mercedes comfortably rocked into me and began moving her lips against mine which caused me to become weak so as the last parts came up, I picked her up by her thighs and switched our positions in the chair "so don't stop girl get it, quit playing wit it, can't wait no more, I wanna take you down, I really wanna take you down, take you down yeah" her hips continued to roll into Mr even after I switched our positions which made me turn into an animal as the music came to a stop and she grew breathless and her hand was resting on the back of my neck and our eyes met for at least 5 seconds before I leaned in to start kissing her again, this time I was much softer
Chapter 37
Tonight ,mercedes and I didn't just 'fuck' we made love, not to get cheesy or anything but this felt different, this felt like she actually cared and I laid breathless on top of her and softly gave her a kiss on my lips before staring off into space "vice principal Jones wants me to help chaperone the stupid fling spring sats mercedes as she laughed massaging the skin of my stomach with her fingers "what he doesn't know is that my ass is quitting on him tomorrow says mercedes "I'm going to that says zendaya as she told mercedes softly "you are going to the spring fling says mercedes as she laughed "why says mercedes "Camilla asked me to says zendaya as she told mercedes honestly and she shifted uncomfortably under me and responded "oh says mercedes
"Well you don't have to sound disappointed as I laughed turning my body to face her and she grabbed my thigh to pull my leg over hers and mercedes brushed my hair out of my face and looked me deep in the eyes before grabbing my hand underneath the covers "have you thought about Seattle says mercedes. Truth is,that's the only thing that's been on my mind it's the reason why I haven't been able to do anything with camilla, I don't have a clear conscience and I nodded to her and she continued to ask me the question "and what do you wanna do says mercedes and I sighed out knowing in the back of my mind that Lauren had a point if I leave, there's no chance of me graduating, I hate school and I'm only being forced to go for 12 years not counting kindergarten or pre k
I don't want to be held back because my dumb ass doesn't know a six from a nine, on the other hand , if I don't go,I risk the chance of mercedes moving on with someone else which would crush me, she is a beautiful woman so there's no doubt in my mind that someone more amazing could come along and steal her from me and mercedes softly brushed on the skin of my hip with her thumb "well don't keep me waiting says mercedes "I can't as I told her in a soft voice that almost broke "oh says mercedes as she frowned which made my heart break, she Paused for a moment then looked at me with furrowed eyebrows "is this because of her says mercedes "you have got to be kidding me as i shook my head and sat up with the sheets pulled over my body and off of her
Mercedes sat up, absolutely nude and put her hand on my thigh "what, I can't ask questions, I just thought I'd make sure says mercedes as her frown quickly turned into a smile "I still know you'd pick me over her any day says mercedes "and how do you know that says zendaya as she smiled and mercedes responded with a soft face "because you love me says mercedes "and you love me says zendaya as the hope was strong in her voice "of course says mercedes and mercedes got on top of me to straddle my waist and kiss softly over the brusies she made on my neck before pulling away to look into my eyes "how about this, since you aren't going to come with me, I'll just come back to get you when school is through says mercedes
"Wait you'd do that as I asked suprised that she was willing to come back for me maybe she really did love me and mercedes nodded and quickly pecked my lips "in a heartbeat, I wanna come to your graduation and cheer for you then afterwards you and I can catch up with a little celebration and figure out where to go from there says mercedes and her lips met mine for a few more pecks before I responded feeling her soft skin press to mine "I'd want nothing more says zendaya
----
FRIDAY AFTERNOON: 2:57 PM
All day I had been an emotional wreck, on Edge at every little thing and definitely upset, today was the day that ms mercedes would be resigning her job here, it sucked because it finally felt like it was happening, that she'd be out of my life so soon and I didn't want that to happen and I closed my locker and turned around to see Lauren with a frown on her face and her arms stretched out "come here mija says Lauren and I hurried into her arms and began bawling while the hallways began to fill and the last bell rang and released more kids into the hall which made me straighten up before I pulled away, Lauren rubbed my arm and said "you might not think about it now but you're doing the right thing says Lauren
Zendaya nodded "yeah yeah it just hurts says zendaya and normani and the other girls walked up with glares towards me "you better stop all that crying, we have a night to remember planned today and there will be no tears unless they're because of some drunk mistakes says normani "what's wrong says camilla in a worried voice and u shook my head and wiped under my water line to clean myself up "nothing, I just stubbed my fucking toe in P.E again and it may be broken says zendaya "those hurt like a bitch says normani as she whined and ally slapped her on the arm "stop with your profanity, kordei says ally and just as I was about to laugh, ms mercedes left her room with a stern look on her face, she didn't make eye contact with me and I know why
"Do You have detention says normani as she asked with a hopeful tone and I nodded to her "well shit, okay, we'll just have to see you at your house to help you get ready says normani "I'm a grown ass woman, I can dress myself says zendaya as she smirked and normani eyed me up and down "girl bye, you look like you pulled this out of your laundry hamper says normani "it was the clean one says zendaya as she responded with a smirk "yeah ok says normani as she laughed
-----
I was sitting in ms mercedes classroom just waiting for her to return, 40 minutes of detention had already gone by, it doesn't take this long to quit, does it and just as I thought that, mercedes walked into the room with a goofy smile "oh shit says mercedes as she gasped clutching her chest "I didn't expect you to still be here says mercedes and I got up from my desk to follow her to hers "so did you do it, how did it go, did he yell, I've heard him yell a lot says zendaya and mercedes smiled and sat down in her leather chair to pat her lap and I took her up on the offer and sat down on top of her and mercedes arms snaked around her waist while I stared at her "I didn't do it says mercedes "well then why were you gone for 40 minutes says zendaya
"I told him I would be able to chaperone tomorrow night says mercedes as she smiled and I rolled my eyes at her absolute jealousy "you're gonna watch me with camilla huh says zendaya and mercedes nodded "more or less but only because I know she starts it and you just go along with it, I just want you to know that I'm watching all night, there's no one getting in between camilla except me says mercedes "oh really as I pressed my lips to her neck making a slight moan leave her mouth "yeah really says mercedes as she responded back shortly
Chapter 38
Normani raised her red solo cup in the air and announced out loud to the other 4 girls around me "to zendaya and 18 more years to come says normani "that only leaves me at 36 as I laughed feeling my arm get tired of it being held in the air "fine 100 more years to come says normani as she continued and each of the girls changed their cups together and cheered out "salud" before taking their gulps of Lauren's jauregui concoction and ally whined at the taste "ew, I can't believe you all talked me into this, I'm gonna get drunk says ally and I wrapped my arm around her neck to pull her in close "don't worry alls, I won't let you do anything too stupid says zendaya and multiple cups full of drinks later and the house was bumping with loud music and drunk ass messes
While the girls were jamming in the living room, I walked into the kitchen to fill my red solo cup full of vodka because I'm tired of waiting for drunk Lauren to make me another drink and I started sipping on it before making my way out to the backyard, after sitting down on the patio chair, I felt the buzz build up more and more, I want to talk to mercedes and I checked to see if the girls were watching before I pulled out my phone to press my 'favorites' and dial mercedes number and I took another sip while waiting for the phone to stop ringing and someone to answer it "hello says mercedes "mercedes says zendaya as she asked "yes says mercedes "babe says zendaya and mercedes giggled lightly "yes what's up sats mercedes
"Babe I miss you as I smiled and brought the cup up to my mouth "I miss you too baby, are you drunk right now says mercedes as she sounded very cheery and I liked it "just a teensy-weensy bit says zendaya "oh I bet, so how's your night with the girls, you aren't getting into any trouble are you says mercedes and I loved hearing her voice, the way she spoke to me "naaah and it's good but I want you says zendaya as she told mercedes honestly "do you now says mercedes as her voice turned a little husky which sent chills down my spine "ok dime piece says zendaya "yes says mercedes "hey you know my birthday was yesterday and all says zendaya
Mercedes laughed again and almost sent me into an eargasm "yes I remember your birthday quite well says mercedes "maybe you and I should like run off to reno and get really fucking drunk says zendaya "and then get married says mercedes and I could hear her smile through the receiver "woah there as I smiled at the thought "only if you want to says zendaya "maybe one day says mercedes as she replied "but only after you get a job so you can provide for my expensive taste says mercedes "yeah, your red bottom heel collection is enough to make any rich bitch go broke says zendaya as she responded and mercedes laughed hysterically "that's true but you really should be with your friends right now says mercedes as she told me "call me tomorrow before the dance and maybe we can meet up somewhere in the school one last time says mercedes
"I like the sound of that as I told mercedes softly "good, now go drink responsibly and make sure to call me tomorrow says mercedes "mercedes as I couldn't get my mind off of this topic, I have to say it "what babe says mercedes and I licked my lips before letting the words fall out "I love you says zendaya and mercedes paused for a moment but with a comfortable voice she replied "I love you too, goodnight says mercedes and I couldn't help but smile like a idiot as I replied "goodnight" before hanging up the call and all of the girls walked outside with a brownie on a plate and a candle on top of it, not a lit one of course and Lauren held it out and with a sloppy smile she spoke "we can't light it because ally thinks we're too drunk for fire says Lauren
"We are says ally as she laughed before taking another sip of her 'jauregui' "let's sing happy birthday to zendaya, 1..2..3 says Lauren as she smiled and the girls began to sing to me and I almost blushed to hard that I could've popped a blood vessel "happy birthday dear zendaya, happy birthday to you as the girls finished and I laughed and I picked up the plate and let the girls group hug me while camilla gave me a kiss on the cheek "Lauren Said this is a 'special brownie', it's got like powers and stuff says camilla and I looked over at Lauren with a smirk and she said to me "no its not powerful, well not in the magic way, nice guy Harry gave it to me because he knows they're your favorite edibles says Lauren
"Remind me yo get that guy a Cadillac if I'm ever rich because he deserves it as I smiled diving into the brownie
-----
Everyone except normani and I were passed out ,it was occasional when she was able to hang and luckily she drank accordingly so she could talk to me ,I was usually the last one to pass out when we drank and everyone knew that, usually if someone wanted to have a drunk conversation with me, they'd try their hardest to stay up and normani smiled looking down at the two other girls who had fallen asleep on the floor of my living room "where's camilla says normani "my guess is my room as I smiled throwing my legs over normanis longer ones, they were actually very soft "can I ask a question but like you don't get mad as drunk Mani Said to me and I nodded and leaned back to have her speak to me "do you like camilla says normani "of course I do says zendaya
"No I mean like do you want to start a relationship with her says normani and this was obviously a serious question to her "I can't says zendaya "why not says normani and zendaya sighed out deeply "Camilla is so nice and sweet and beautiful- says zendaya "I don't hear a bad thing yet says normani as she interuppted "lemme finish as I spoke up and glared at her "she's the perfect woman, I'm just not over 'Hailey' as I took a second to remember the fake girls name but I eventually got it "when you get over 'Hailey', are you going to go for camilla says normani "why do you wanna know so bad says zendaya
Normani sighed out and started messing with the bottom of her shirt "cause she's my best friend like you're my best friend, I care about her and her feelings, you know she has those right says normani and I nodded sadly thinking about the guilt from using her to get over my stupid issues "it's just that if this doesn't mean anything, you gotta tell her, then afterwards you two still wanna fuck until your brains are leaking, be my guest I mean, you can't get pregnant so I'm not worried and with the amount of sex you two have had I'm sure one of you would be pregnant with twins if the other had a dick says normani "okay enough as I laughed "I'll talk to her at the dance tomorrow okay says zendaya and normani smiled widely and got up to pull me off of the couch
"Now go to your bed because I called the couch says normani as she lightly tapped my ass so that I would jump up out of suprise and leave with a huge smile on my face

Gen: angst ig???some fluff? hurt/comfort? Quite literally just me writing what I want to hear

Wakatoshi loves volleyball
Everyone knows this
Ever since he was little, he's lived and breathed for the sport
There's nothing better to him than the feeling of the ball hitting his hand, the adrenaline rush of a scored point, the satisfaction of a game well won
He didn't get this far on enjoyment alone though
As his s/o, you know this better than anyone, save for his coaches and teammates of course
You know the effort he's put in, you know that for every second he shines on the court in front he's spent hours practicing alone or with his teammates
And he shines on the court
Watching him play will never fail to make your heart stutter and your lungs feel like they're not getting enough air
After being with him as long as you have, you know enough about volleyball to know that Wakatoshi is something special
His speed, his strength, his reliability
No matter how many times you see that spike, the sound of the ball hitting the floor stays deafening
Wakatoshi was made to play Volleyball. It's an objective fact. Sometimes you think that the sport loves him just as much as he loves it
Sometimes, you get so jealous you could scream
one of the perks of being the volleyball captain's s/o is that you always get the best seats
You watch front row as your boyfriend leads his team to victory, and he always leads them to victory.
You watch, time and time again, as he scores the match point, that sharp wham of the ball hitting the court that sings triumph
Wakatoshi isn't the most expressive person. When his team wins a game, most people would write off his impassive face as nonchalance or as vanity, thinking maybe he's won so many times it doesn't feel like anything for him anymore
But you know him. You know that if you look hard enough at the end of a game, you can see a gleam in his eyes. A gleam that somehow means both satisfaction and hunger
Because while at the end of every game means victory, the end of every game also means the start of a new one, a new challenge, a new opportunity to be on the court. He loves every second of it
You know you're probably the worst person on the world for feeling this way about someone you love, but every time you see that gleam in his eyes, any pride and happiness you feel on his behalf is stained with resentment and an envy so bitter it stays on your tongue for days
You've never had that gleam in your eyes. You've never loved something so entirely, so completely as Wakatoshi loves volleyball
You honestly doubt you ever will
It's not like you're talentless or you don't have hobbies, you have the things you're good at and you have the things you like to do but it's not the same
You want so desperately to know what he feels like, to be doing something and to think, I could do this for the rest of my life and die happy
on your worst days, you wonder why he stays by your side at all
You watch him play, surrounded by his court and his team (no the court or the team, his.) And you wonder what he could get from you that he couldn't get from the sting of the ball on his palm, or the squeak of his shoes on hardwood
He's brilliant, wherever he goes be burns so brightly you swear he leaves scorch marks. What could a forest fire possibly want from a candle?
You watch them play a game against some college team, they win straight sets and Wakatoshi dominated the court, scoring a majority of the points. you're quiet on your way home, and he asks if you were bored by the game
You immediately tell him no, because on most days you love seeing him play, and you try and explain how you feel
He doesn't understand what you're talking about, obviously
Contrary to what most people think, your boyfriend isn't stupid or dense. He has trouble understanding different social cues and conceptualizing some of the more complicated emotions other people feel, but he's not an idiot
But these specific insecurities are something he's never had to face. For him, it's been volleyball since the start. His earliest memories are of his father in the yard, tossing a blue and yellow ball into the air while he sits on the engawa, chubby hands holding tight to a pink vabo-chan plush
It doesn't make sense to him, if you don't have anything like that, then all you need to do is find something you're good at, correct? Then you'll be happy
He tells you this, in his usual matter-of-fact way. (you can imagine how that went)
He doesn't understand why your eyes go glassy, or why you tell him you'll be fine walking by yourself for the rest of the way
But he does understand that he's made you upset, and he knows that he never wants to look into your eyes and see tears that he's put there
As he walks back to his dorm, he's wracking his brain trying to make sense of how you told him you felt, and what he said in response
He's still thinking as he enters the doorway, ignoring Tendou's greeting as he neatly removes his runners and puts them away
This, of course, alerts his redheaded friend, knowing Wakatoshi was taught to mind his manners
He leaves whatever he was doing to see him at the entrance, taking in his pinched expression. He knows that Wakatoshi walks you home after every game, and it doesn't take a genius to connect the dots
He quickly presses the pad of his thumb between Wakatoshi's furrowed eyebrows, smoothing the lines there
"trouble in paradise, Wakatoshi-kun? You can't keep frowning like that you know, you'll get wrinkles! Everyone already thinks you're an old man"
Wakatoshi trusts his best friend, even if he teases him constantly. Besides you, Tendou is his main confidant
He explains what happened much like someone would explain a mission report, in perfect unbiased detail. He tell him what you said, how he thought and responded and your reaction. Tendou is always patient with him, giving him his full attention.
After he finishes his story, his friend sits on his haunches in the middle of the hallway for a few minutes, pointer finger to his chin, head cocked and eyes to the ceiling, hmmmmmming thoughtfully
Wakatoshi waits at the entrance of their dorm room until Tendou snaps his eyes away from the ceiling and onto him
"Wakatoshi kun, I'm going to need you to imagine something for me"
His eyebrows pinch together again, but he nods
"Imagine you never played volleyball, you're exactly the same in every way, except your dad never showed you so you never learned how to play. Try and imagine who you'd be"
Wakatoshi tries his best to imagine, he replaces the blue and yellow ball in his memory with a red one, the bouncy kind they sell in bins at the grocery store. He replaces vabo-chan with some kind of stuffed animal wearing a bow
He thinks about school, about going straight home after class is over, and going to the gym only on weekends
He finds he's skipping parts of his life in large gaps, empty spaces he doesn't know what to do with, his future completely blank. It's terrifying.
Tendou must see the dawning horror on his face because he jumps up quickly with a flourish, clapping his hands together once to draw Wakatoshi out of his daydream
Tendou looks at him, smiling and says "y/n-chan doesn't have their volleyball. Most people aren't as lucky as you, finding your volleyball so early Wakatoshi-kun. Some people never find their's at all"
He stands at the entrance quietly for awhile after Tendou returns to his room, thinking about how scary it felt to imagine, even for a few minutes, his life full of the blanks that his sport filled
He wonders how it would be like to have those blanks empty all the time, with not even a clue how to complete them
Swallowing his pride, Wakatoshi realizes he wouldn't be able to live like that. Wouldn't be able to go forward into such unknowable territory, under such impossible odds
He thinks about you waking up every day, seeing your life full of blanks, and still pushing forwards despite it
He doesn't get much sleep that night.
You wake up in the morning to Wakatoshi's text ringtone
7:10am Toshi <3: Call in sick for first period.
7:10am Toshi <3: I am going to pick you up at 8.
7:13am Toshi <3: I will bring you breakfast.
7:27am Toshi <3: Wear a light jacket, it's chilly.
The half of you that's still hurt over yesterday wants to tell him to shove breakfast up his ass, but then you realise something
You stare at your phone, deeply confused
Doesn't he have volleyball practice before school?
You get ready quickly, and sure enough, when you walk out of your door at exactly 8:00, Wakatoshi is there.
He's wearing his tracksuit and runners, and he hands you a paper bag from the conbini. There's an apple, a bag of grapes and onigiri. In his other hand he's holding a warm drink, written on the lid is your favourite, exactly how you like it
"I am taking you to the park."
You tilt your head up at him, confused
"don't you have volleyball practice?"
"I'm skipping. We are going to feed the ducks."
The idea of Ushijima Wakatoshi skipping volleyball practice stuns you into silence, and you simply follow his lead to the direction of the park, you walking and him doing some sort of ridiculous exercise thing that looks like it'd make you puke
When you get there, you're happy to find that your usual bench is empty.
Wakatoshi pulls a water bottle out of his ridiculously-deep men's tracksuit pockets while you take the bunch of grapes out of the bag, neatly dividing it in half. You decide to take the big half of the grape bunch for once, because he was being a jerk yesterday and you deserve to feed the ducks more than he does. You give him his half and you both start feeding the ducks in silence
After awhile, he decides to speak
"Tendou made me imagine something yesterday"
You turn to face him, but he's still looking at the ducks
"he told me to imagine my life if I'd never played volleyball"
He frowns
"he said to imagine everything about me was the same, except I never started playing. I found that it was difficult"
"there were many things I found I couldn't fill in, both in my life and in myself"
"but the worst part was imagining the future. I couldn't imagine a single thing to put in it"
"I wouldn't be able to live like that. To live every day and see blank spaces and uncertainties. It sounds terrible"
He pauses for a moment and you're like :/ wow king thanks for the pep talk
But he takes a deep breath and he continues
"I think, for a person to face that uncertainty and keep pushing forward, they would have to be exceptional"
Your head snaps to look at him so fast you almost get whiplash
Exceptional
There's a word that you've never used to describe yourself
"I think, that if I knew someone like that, I would tell them that they are strong in a way that I doubt I will ever be"
He finally turns to look at you, and you try your best to see him through the tears distorting your vision
"after awhile of thinking, I finally thought of something that I could put in that blank future. Would you like to know what it was?"
You just nod, not trusting your words. His big hands gently engulf your own and for a moment you're absolutely certain Ushijima Wakatoshi will be the death of you
"if I didn't have Volleyball, if I didn't have a single clue of what I could do with my future, if I still had you by my side, I think I would be alright"
One hit K.O.
He keeps going though, as if he didn't just kill you
"if you would have me, I'd like to be in your blank future. For as long as it takes for you to find your volleyball, I'll be there. If it's months or years or decades,"
"if decades pass and you never find your volleyball, I would still like to stay by your side. Maybe your volleyball is looking for volleyball?"
His face contorts in consideration of the idea, and you can't help but laugh wetly, your tears soaking into his jacket as you bury your face into his arm
He presses a soft kiss to your head
"I apologize for what I said last night. I didn't understand"
You only shake your head
You two sit in companionable silence for a little longer so you can eat your breakfast, then you both walk to second period hand in hand
It's only in the boredom of your math class that you realize the gravity of what your boyfriend had said to you in the park
11:08 you: Tendou
11:08 you: was I tripping
11:08 you: or did Wakatoshi /propose/ to me in the park today
Tendou is typing......
Tumblr media
A/N: I've never posted this kind of stuff before so comments would really be appreciated! Like if there's something I could do to make my stuff easier to read or whatever I wanna hear it! Even if it's mean I promise I'll only cry a little

Verbal Mistakes - Nozel Silva LEMON
Tumblr media
Words - 1389 Request -  
Tumblr media
A/n - Enjoy!
Y/n P.O.V
He's been down there for days... its like he hardly went to bed anymore to busy with whatever it was he wouldn't tell me. I was sick of it but he never listened, rather he ignored me. He didn't even bother to look at me. But like clockwork, I found my legs moving without thought, tiptoeing down the steps and behind the huge door which held Nozel inside.
I knocked 3 times, one, two, three... and of course no answer. I flicked the lock inside the door and pushed through, only to be stopped by Nozel. Standing in front of me, he wore a face I didn't know.
"When- will you cut this childish behavior out?" He seemed to growl the words out like a feral dog though his face remained all the more stoic. But his eyes, they were lit like fires, angry and irritable, restless and tired.
"Nozel-"
"No! It annoying, Y/n. I'm working! I can't listen to your pleas every. Single. Night." I couldn't look him in the eye. Those eyes weren't the eyes I loved. I just wanted him to be okay, was that so wrong? I know he was tired, and staying here for all hours of the day wasn't going help whatever he was working on. 
For my lack of response, he went to close the door, moving to push me put, again. It was under his breath he whispered,
"When did I learn to love someone so weak." I stopped, and quicker than a flash I had Nozel against the door, which had slammed against the wall of his office.
"I am not your sister, I wont simply let you push me around like your all so mighty. You are as weak as they come Nozel, and all your training will never let you live that down." My grip on his collar tight, I shook him out of his shocked haze.
"Consider this the last night I annoy you, Captain Silva." It was then it felt like the wind was really knocked out of Nozel, like the blow to his shakily built pride wasn't enough, the loss of you seemed to make him really crumble. Regret began pour into his eyes but it was all to late. You were already gone, and when he did run to find you there wasn't a single trace of you ever being there.
*** 3rd P.O.V
Three days later, Nozel stood before the wizard king, a urgent summons.  Although annoyed, Nozel couldn't refuse, it was his duty and expectance to go, and with heavy feet he did. Julius waited no time in getting to the point, his curiosity blunt.
"Ahh, Capitan Silva, may I question why your fiancé is demanding for a immediate squad change?" Nozel almost tripped in his steps towards the desk, like said, Julius wasted no time.
"W-What?" A knot tied tightly in Nozel stomach. It was true, she truly was leaving.
"When?" Nozel asked hurriedly, he had been looking for you, but no spell could find you and no mage could catch scent of you.
"Y/n left an note sometime in the night, quick in and quick out. Care to explain?"
***
Y/n P.O.V
I had jut gone to sleep when the sound of my heavy door opening and closing tickled my ears. The calm steps towards the bed gave me time ti sit up and look around the dark room.
"Yami?" But who I lied my eyes on, was not Yami. It was Nozel.
"How did you get in here?" I seethed, the candles in the room lighting up the once dark room. Nozel stepped forward again. He looked horrible, worse then what he had looked like before you left him. His braid hung frizzy and unkept in front of his face. His eyes were dark and sunken in, skin paler than usual.
"What happened to you?" In the five years I loved this man, he's never looked a bigger mess. Even his clothes were shambled, thrown carelessly together. Nozel emitted and low empty chuckle and looked down.
"I lost the love of my life." My heart pulled at my chest and swam to choke my throat. I have to stay strong. Nozel's eyes looked up to find mine, they looked bloodshot and bleary. My own eyes were hard and narrowed, I hope he was getting the gist.
"Why are you here, Nozel?" I sighed, finally looked away and relaxing, what good would it do to glare at him like a child, it'd only prove him right wouldn't it?
"I came to apologize."
"In the middle of the night."
"I couldn't find you, you were gone for days, I needed to make sure you were okay." He tried to reason, as if he didn't come for his own selfish-reasons. He went to take another step closer, and he succeded, walking towards the corner of my bed and sitting on it.
"I didn't mean what I said." He whimpered out into the still air. I scoffed looking to the side before meeting his sad eyes. It was hard looking at a man you've only known as strong. In the five years of dating Nozel and the years before, I've never seen him so weak and broken. Nozel turned away from me moving to get up, taking my silence as the end of the conversation.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't-" I grabbed Nozel by the wrist and pulled him up to the bed.
"Jesus Christ-!"
"Get in here you fuckin idiot, I'm-... I'm sorry too," I mutter and curled myself around Nozel as he slipped under the covers and gripped me back tightly. He seemed to shake as he held me, and the quietest sniffle escaped him. I looked up at Nozel, his eyes teary but he was clearly trying to fight them back.
"I'm sorry, Nozel, for leaving and of course what I said, but I won't be taking anything like that every again you hear me." I flicked his chest and he chuckled hoarsely.
"Never again, my love." I smiled and leaned in and kissed him softly. Nozel was quick to reciprocate grabbing at me tighter and sighing into the kiss, finally relaxing what must have been the first time in weeks.
This heated fast with the eager touching from Nozel and the complete opened armed welcome for me, things were moving fast and in no time, did I find myself nude beneath him. Hot and panting, Nozel took his time gazing down at me, pupils dilatated. His messy hair completely out of its braid and fell down the side of his face as he leaned down, tickling my shoulder.
"Nozel please, its been to long," I begged, pulling him in closer and locking my legs around his hips. Nozel gripped my chin and made me look at him, eyes burning with a lustful passion.
"You'll never have to wait again. I promise." He sealed that promise with a slow push of his hips. Nozel's thrusts started out slow but as he grew more desperate and determined his hips sped up. Torrents of heat rushed to fill my body, sensitive from lack of touch and the delicious pounding from Nozel, my body had no problems with bring me to climax quick.
String pulled tight and taunt it took three perfectly aimed thrusts from Nozel to finally finish me off. Mind blank with white hot pleasure, I griped and clawed down Nozel's back. Nozel faltered as I gripped him tighter, moaning in my ear lewdly as he finished inside me.
Nozel collapsed on me, careful of his weight but none the less heavy. I laughed and pushed him off me.
"I can't breath!" Nozel laughed and turned me to my side, pulling me into him and spooning me. I got myself comfortable before cringing in disgust.
"Are you trying to get me pregnant?" I slapped his forearm, moving to get up and clean myself but Nozel pulled me back down.
"Would that be so bad?"
"Nozel...?"
"Lets get married, Y/n. I never want to lose you again, I can't, It would kill me. This has showed me that without you, my life is worth no living. You are my light darling, I can't see without you." I held Nozel's face, and enormous smile spreading over my face.
"Yes!"

Episode 202: Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space - Details
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Liz (Jeanine Mason) is forced to put her latest experiment on hold after Rosa (Amber Midthunder) begins to struggle with her new life in Roswell. Reluctant to face the truth about his mother’s past, Michael (Michael Vlamis) turns his attention to helping Maria (Heather Hemmens), who is dealing with her own family crisis. Elsewhere, Isobel (Lily Cowles) agrees to join her mother for a day of spiritual healing to keep herself distracted. Finally, Rosa turns to Kyle (Michael Trevino) to learn the truth about what really happened the night she died. Tyler Blackburn and Trevor St. John also star. Lance Anderson directed the episode written by Eva McKenna (#202.) Original airdate 3/23/2020.
DETAILS:
Secret lab is in an Indian Boarding School that was shut down. The Air Force bought it. It's been empty for 40 years (i.e., since approx. 1979). Part of Alex's job is to monitor it.
Security was set up by Alex’s team. They follow orders and don’t ask questions. (But that also means other soldiers know about it.)
Max's password was password. 🙄
Liz lies to Rosa. "It was beautiful. The whole town came. Everyone joined in the rosario. Mom sang Las Golondrinas. Dad wanted you in a white dress but I insisted on your Live Through This t-shirt."
According to: https://blog.sevenponds.com/cultural-perspectives/tradition-spanish-funeral “Nine days after the death, the family holds a ceremony known as a “rosario.” It consists of candles, flowers, prayers and sharing memories of the person who has died. The rosario also takes place every year on the anniversary of the person’s death.”
Las Golondrinas
Rosa Nightmare #1… unclear when it started since it flowed directly from her on the couch, doing graffiti around town, seeing her dad. Assuming it starts when she goes to the Wild Pony, pours herself a drink, hesitates, and then Max appears.
Max and Rosa's exchange:.
"What are you waiting for? You have to stop Liz. Tell her she can't bring me back, Rosa."
"Why? Why don't you want her to save you?"
"I can't take it anymore. Just end it."
"They'll figure it out. They'll save you."
"I can't wait that long. It's like burning alive from inside."
"She's never going to stop trying."
"Then you have to stop her. Please!"
Rosa wants her sketchbook from the bookshelf in their room. (Later in the episode when she breaks in we see that the bookshelf is empty. Liz cleared out Rosa's things in 1x07.)
Rosa's old email [email protected] (90s music reference to the band Everclear).
Michael is experimenting by blow torching a piece of alien ship.
Apparently it was Lindsay (of Hank and Lindsay) that Michael made out with. Seeing as it's only been a month since Hank died (2 weeks passed in 2x01, Maria says in 2x02 that her mom has been missing for 2 weeks), and the big guy was pissed about Michael making out with her, she moves on pretty quickly!
Maria is meeting with a private detective.
Science babble! "Human tissue can obviously regenerate from stem cells. With the right methodology I could use your blood (Isobel) to make adjustments for alien physiology. I have to monitor exactly when cell degradation begins, down to the second. I can't miss it. Eight hours before I need to be back.
Michael is developing nanotechnology to make the transplant possible. "It's like replacing parts in a broken machine."
They harvested all of Noah’s primary organs. "I have his body parts in jars."
Isobel steals what looks like an empty syringe. But at the end of the episode she has the serum in it.
New brand of fake beer! (Last season it was always Copper black lager. Now it's Hunks and Heroes Lager! Broken bottles were on the ground in the cemetery, Wyatt Long is carrying a bottle at the beginning of the scene when he and Michael fight (which could tie him to the graffiti on Rosa's grave), and also has a bottle in front of him on his YouTube video.
Michael is holding a bag from Milikan Value Hardware Store.
Flint's report on Caulfield: "Shepherd Protocol was activated. Bodies were disposed of without incident. Local papers ran an item confirming that the long-scheduled demolition of the prison was a success."
Exchange between Jesse and Flint:
"Dad, I don't think we should have covered it up. People should know."
"Do you have any idea what would happen if we confirmed that alien specimens were once housed at Caulfield but are now suddenly gone? It'd be dismissed as fake news. Buried by a racist tweet within seconds. No, we need to make a bigger statement."
"'Cause justice can't be served until after disaster has struck."
"That's right."
Really don't want to transcribe the racist rant from Wyatt Long that Rosa watches, although I will if y'all demand it. I don't think it's relevant beyond Rosa learning the truth. However as a detail I want to note, the video is titled BUILD THE WALL! IN MEMORY OF KATE LONG and it's dated September 3, 2010 (so 2 years and a few months after they died). Amusing side note. The comments on the video. Great fake usernames:
fayhuman: Kate Long didn't deserve what happened.
Curious Murphy: I just donated to the cause!!
thecyberwitch48: is this really the best solution?
Isobel’s baby is at 5 weeks, the size of a lentil.
Isobel calls Ann "Mama". Good note for fic writers! 😉
Maria's class: "Woman as Warrior: Strength Training for the Mind, Body, and Spirit."
Under the Bridge - same location as in 1x03 where Liz finds Rosa's paint canister.
Maria's cards:
Maria DeLuca
Psychic Reader
Spirit Leader
Social Media Revitalizer
Great line: "The infinite reservoir of strength and healing within us all" 😂👏
Rosa's chart…
"What's this error here?"
"Must be a contaminated sample."
"No way. I'm meticulous."
Steph says regarding the error on Rosa’s test “Congrats. Looks like you just discovered a protein never before found in the human body. Or you didn't get the Flamin' Hot orange dust off your hands when you scrubbed in. Whichever's most likely."
Michael to Liz, "I was working. I went home to find formulas I worked out years ago…"
Rosa is reciting Niebuhr's Serenity Prayer, which is commonly used by AA and other 12 step programs.
Noah was struck by lightning directly in the heart.
Isobel’s moment of epiphany:
"Using your newfound goddess strength I want you to get up and throw your fear into the fire. Set yourself free. You're a warrior. You aren't afraid of anything. Draw upon your feminine power. Why are you hesitating, Isobel? The sooner you throw your paper in the fire the sooner you can leave."
"Look, it's not that simple, okay? I can't just throw this into the fire." Maria gasps and rubs her chest, similar to how she did when she realized her necklace was missing at the beginning in 1x10) "I'm trapped.
Ann: "This is my fault. I put too much pressure on you."
"It's nobody's fault. It's just here."
Maria: "Whatever it is, you can choose to set yourself free. Say it. 'Say I choose to set myself free.'"
"I choose to set myself free."
Maria: "Louder."
"I choose to set myself free."
Rosa breaks into the Crashdown. It mirrors her first nightmare in 2x01, but it's not a dream. She goes to her room, sees the empty bookshelf, goes to the closet, and snags a hidden bottle of tequila.
Camera lingers on Steph stuffing a bottle of nail polish remover in her purse. Note: she was actually doing her nails.
Michael and Alex's conversation mostly mirrors the information we learned from the file in last week's episode. She wasn't caught until October 1948 and the crash was June 1947. She was the last alien captured and admitted into Caulfield. Alex thinks people in Roswell might have known her.
Liz says that the accident never made sense to her because when Rosa was 12, Mamma Ortecho drove drunk with Liz and Rosa in the car, hit a bike, and flipped the car. Rosa told Mamma Ortecho that she would kill her if she ever drove drunk with Liz in the car again.
Rosa's tequila brand: Blistering Rose.
Rosa’s 2nd Nightmare: Rosa runs into the cave and starts beating on the pod. When she hits it, it sounds like metal (which doesn't seem like it would make sense given what we know about the pods).
Her conversation with Max:
"Leave me alone, you dick!"
"I am so much pain, Rosa."
"Oh really? So is everybody. Man up."
"Have some mercy. I saved your life."
"My life is gone. My mom bailed, I can't talk to my dad, my entire town hates me, and my sweet little sister is somebody that I don't even know. But I do know that she'll save you. She's gonna fix you and until then, leave me alone."
"I'd Liz won't stop then you have to do it. Go to the pod, pull me out, and walk away. You won't be killing me, Rosa. I'm already dead."
"I said no. Leave me alone."
"As long as that handprint is on you I can reach you."
"Fine. I'm an expert at quieting voices."
"No. Rosa, wait. Don't do anything stupid."
"I never dreamed when I was using."
MUSIC:
1. Oasis "Wonderwall"
2. Gord Bamford "#Rednek"
3. Hamish Anderson "Trouble"
4. Radiohead "High And Dry"

I know it's a bit late, but I wanted to share another story for @azulaweek . It's for day 4. I was happy to be part of Azula week for the first time and I'm looking forward to participating next year. Stay flamin :))
A mother's love
Tumblr media
This story takes place about a week before the flashbacks in Zuko Alone
Everyone in the Royal Palace was sleeping at this late hour, except Ursa. She couldn't sleep a wink. She tried really hard to fall asleep, but to no avail.
It was a warm night in the Fire Nation. The moon shone high on a cloudless, black sky.
The princess left her bedroom with a candle in her hand, walking through the empty, dark corridors of the palace toward the kitchen to drink a cup of water. She could have ordered a servant to bring to bring her some water, but she didn't want to wake anyone up and start a commotion. Besides, she didn't like ordering others around. Ursa respected the people who served her and her family, but she didn't like relying on them for every little thing and exploit them, even though most would argue it was their job. It just didn't seem right and she wasn't comfortable with it.
As Ursa got closer to the kitchen, she entered the corridor with Azula's and Zuko's rooms. She passed by Zuko's room quietly, but when she was a few meters away from Azula's, she heard a creaking sound as the door was slowly opened. She stopped as she saw her daughter walking out of her room while rubbing her eyes and closing the door behind her. Azula spun around to see her mother after she noticed the candle light. She looked startled, but also tired, having small dark circles under her eyes which had been half open until she saw her mother. She was now facing Ursa wide-eyed.
"I was just going back to my room," Azula said after a few seconds, putting her hand back on the door handle.
Ursa looked at her, worried.
"Are you alright, Azula?" she asked.
"Yes. I just wanted to drink some water," she said, annoyed. Even though she was obviously tired, she seemed in a rush to get away from her mother. This saddened Ursa. She really loved her and cared about her, but she knew she wasn't always doing the best job of showing her that. She tried hard to be a good mother for both Azula and Zuko, but her husband made that very difficult.
She stepped closer to Azula and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Come on, tell me what's wrong," she said gently. "Did you have a nightmare?"
"No, I already told you, mom. I was thirsty. Now I'll go back to sleep," Azula said coldly. She looked away from Ursa and folded her arms. "Since when do you care about me anyway? Don't you have to worry about Zuko? Or you're here just because he doesn't need you right now and you want to make sure I don't get into trouble?" Azula said acidly.
"Azula, I love you and I care about you. I know I don't show it to you enough, but I'm doing my best for you and your brother. I want to help you if something's bothering you. You don't have to keep it to yourself. You can tell me. " Ursa smiled encouragingly at her, urging her to say what was on her mind.
Her mother didn't usually speak like this to her. She was always so busy giving Zuko all the attention that she neglected her.
Azula stood there for a second. She couldn't sleep all night. It was really frustrating and she wasn't sure what to do. She thought maybe a breath of fresh air and a few minutes in the gardens would help, but her mom came out of nowhere and she had to go back to her room now. Azula didn't have anything to say to her and just wanted to go to bed and be left alone. She'd be fine just by herself and she'd fall asleep eventually. It's horrible. I just want to sleep, but I can't. I hate this and I don't need her. I never did and I never will. She was about to go back to her room, but she thought how she'll stay in her bed for hours, struggling to catch some sleep, all alone. As much as Azula wanted to avoid her mother, she admitted trying again to sleep would be really hard and unpleasant. Maybe even more unpleasant than spending time with the woman that, no matter what Azula did, wouldn't appreciate her and would only criticize her and complain how she was mean to her favourite child. Azula didn't know why her mother pretended to care now and there was nothing she could do to help anyway, but it was better to tell her the truth instead of being all alone. This is probably a bad decision and I might end up regretting it, but here we go.
"I can't fall asleep. I've been trying for hours, but I can't," Azula told Ursa.
"It happens sometimes. I can't sleep either. Would you like us to go to the garden for a while?" Ursa said.
Azula looked away again. She still wasn't sure she wanted to be in her presence. It wasn't nice to be mom's least favourite child, but she had no trouble with that. Azula didn't need anyone. She did great just by herself. But maybe it wouldn't hurt to go for a walk outside, since she wanted to do that anyway. However, even though at first she would have preferred to be alone, perhaps it'd be good to have some company.
"Alright," she said.
Ursa smiled at her again.
"Come on," the princess said, a hint of joyfulness in her voice.
As they entered the garden, Azula felt the gentle wind on her skin. It was warm and pleasant outside. The bright stars were sparkling on the dark sky. She looked at the scenery overhead for a few moments.
"It's a beautiful night, isn't it?" Ursa asked.
"I guess," Azula replied in a neutral voice.
They walked a few meters to the pond and set down. Minutes passed without either of them saying anything. Azula looked at her reflection in the water. In the darkness, she barely saw the dark circles under her eyes, but they were there. She frowned. I ought to get some sleep, but the problem is I don't feel tired at all. She looked tired though, because she struggled to sleep and she could see it in her face.
After sometime, Ursa finally began speaking.
"I'm sorry I haven't been a good mother. I haven't given you enough attention and I haven't told you how much I love you enough times. It's just… It's hard to raise two kids at the same time-"
"Yes, because I'm so mean and horrible and Zuko is so great," Azula cut her off.
"Azula, I never said that."
"But you mean it," her daughter replied, looking her in the eye.
"I don't. I know I left you the impression I prefer him over you, but that's not true. You're both amazing children and I love you equally. I admit I spent more time with him, but that's because your father isn't giving him any attention."
"Don't blame father," Azula said infuriated. "If Zuko would be good enough to deserve his love he'd get it. He doesn't deserve your love either."
Ursa was surprised and outraged that Azula spoke like that about her brother. She opened her mouth to tell her how awful it was to treat Zuko that way, but stopped, feeling her anger dissipate. It was mean to say something like that, but Azula only thought these things because she didn't feel loved enough. That was why she wanted to be better than Zuko at everything-so she'd be appreciated by her parents. Ozai had a very bad influence on her. He turned her against Zuko and made her see him and everyone who wasn't perfect as a failure. Azula was a wonderful child and the only thing her father did was give her bad examples, cultivate negative thoughts and feelings inside her and turn her into a competitive and hateful person. He had too many expectations and put too much pressure on her and, to be honest, he didn't even love her. It hurt Ursa to admit this, but it was true. Ozai loved neither of his kids nor anyone else in his family. He didn't even love Ursa. They had an arranged marriage just so he and Azulon could be in control of Avatar Roku's bloodline. But this wasn't about her. It was about Azula. She needed to know her mother cared about her and was proud of her.
"Azula, I'm sorry your father has so many expectations and induces you to feel so much anger and hate. I know it's very frustrating, but I'm here for you."
"What are you talking about? Dad's great and he teaches me to be the best. How is that bad?" Azula said, but a hint of doubt made its way into her mind. She hated to admit it, but sometimes she got tired and it became hard to catch her breath struggling to be the perfect child. I am perfect, I shouldn't listen to her. Dad wants what's best for me. He wouldn't have so many expectations if he didn't think I am up to the challenge. It's his way of showing how capable he thinks I am to do anything I have to. Azula wanted to believe these things, she really did, but she couldn't dismiss the thought that her mother was right. No matter how hard she tried to convince herself mom just wanted her to be nice to Zuko, she couldn't. Something in her voice, in her eyes told Azula she actually… cared. She was angry to think this stuff about dad, but, deep down, she knew it to be true. This made her really angry and also sad.
"I shouldn't have let him influence you like this. I know you're suffering and it's exhausting to try to be flawless everyday. I let you down, Azula, but I'll make it up to you," Ursa said, putting her hand on Azula's.
Azula didn't want to say anything bad about her father. She loved him and he loved her, but, for the first time in her life, she felt the need to say what was on her mind. She just couldn't hold back her thoughts, regardless of how much she tried. She felt weak and miserable and she despised it. I… I've never seen mom like this. It's the first time she actually wants to talk to me and know how I feel. She actually seems to be honest…
Azula slid her hand from under Ursa's. Then, she put her head in her hands, staring blankly at the pond.
"Sometimes it's… really hard. I do my best to please dad, but it's never enough," Azula said.
Ursa than unexpectedly hugged her tightly. Azula stared in surprise for a couple of seconds before she embraced her mother as well.
"I think you're great the way you are. You don't need to prove anything to me. I love you so much and I'll prove that to you more often," Ursa promised.
"Thanks, mom," Azula whispered.
They let go and just sat there in silence. Azula didn't know how much time they spent at the pond. It might have been minutes or hours, she had no idea. However, as time passed by, Azula gradually lost awareness of her surroundings. She was unable to concentrate on anything as the sight before her eyes became blurry. Soon, it was very hard to keep her eyes open. Her eyelashes slowly closed, everything turning black as she finally drifted off to sleep. Azula propped her body against her mother's arm.
Ursa gently put her hands around her daughter's waist and placed her on her lap.
In the few remaining seconds of consciousness before Azula fell asleep, she felt her mother gently caress her on the top of her head. This brought a smile on her face as she felt really calm and relaxed, but also happy.
Mom loves me after all… she thought.

Part 6
Request: Yes or No
"So... My father wants to be immortal? Why?"
"Ultimate power... No dying..." (Y/N) trailed off.
"It's like every villian in every story ever, Veronica." He crossed his arms. Veronica narrowed her eyes.
"My dad is not a villian." (Y/N) raised his brows. "And you're not killing him."
"It'd be doing the world a huge favor." (Y/N) mumbled.
"You don't know what-"
"What you've been through?" (Y/N) sat up, laughing.
"Let me guess... Mommy didn't buy you that designer sweater you wanted or maybe Daddy is too busy with his shit that you don't spend time with him." (Y/N) pouted. Veronica crossed her arms.
"I'm not your typical rich girl."
"Yeah. Your dad's a psycho." (Y/N) chuckled.
"Quit talking about him like that!" Veronica stood, slamming her hands down on the table.
"Your the one who's putting-"
"Everyone at risk? Who's the one protecting their crazy dad?! Who's the selfish one here? The one who kissed her best friends crush twice. The one who put herself before anyone. Even before her own mothers feelings." (Y/N) leaned forward, staring into her dark eyes. Veronica faltered.
"How do you know that?"
"I know everything.. I'm a demon, sweetheart, not one of your naive friends." (Y/N) grinned.
"I can make your deepest darkest fears come true." (Y/N) hissed. Veronica sat back down, looking a bit nervous.
"You can't scare me." Veronica said. (Y/N) rolled his eyes.
"Typical." He mumbled. Veronica took a deep breath, tucking some of her hair behind her ear.
"Okay, okay... Daddy is heading over to Greendale tomorrow." Veronica told him. (Y/N) frowned.
"He can't. If he or one of his idiots find out about the witches... We really don't need to repeat the witch trials because of some power-hungry dick." (Y/N) said. Veronica licked her lips, staying quiet.
"I'll... I'll distract him. Archie and I can pretend to date again. Jug and the Serpents can stir up trouble with the Ghoulies and Betty can try to find a way to reverse the potion if Daddy gets his hands on it." Veronica said, standing. (Y/N) nodded.
(Y/N) looked up, smiling at the sight of the brunette.
"Delilah... Long time no see." He grinned. The brown-eyed girl smiled.
"It really has, (N/N). How come you don't visit anymore?"
"Hunters. Some crazy rich dude found out about me." (Y/N) replied. Delilah frowned.
"Greendale is in possible danger, isn't it?" She questioned. (Y/N) nodded. Delilah sighed, rubbing her arms.
"I'll inform the others." She mumbled.
"How's Sabrina doing?" (Y/N) asked, cocking his head. Delilah sighed.
"Who knows.. I don't do teenage drama." Delilah said, flicking her brown curls over her shoulder. (Y/N) chuckled at the witch's words.
"Right.. You totally didn't get shoved into a love triangle just last month. I must've imagined that." (Y/N) cooed. The dark skinned beauty crossed her arms.
"You must have." Delilah nodded, a small smile tugging at her lips. (Y/N) ruffled up her hair.
"Be careful.. And make sure Nick stays out of trouble." He said. Delilah huffed.
"I can't keep an eye on my brother all the time. I have Sabrina for that." Delilah spun around, waving to him.
"See you around, (N/N)." She headed back to Greendale. (Y/N) watched her before going towards an awaiting Fangs. (Y/N) got on the motorcycle, glancing at the tan male.
"Do you think Hiram would actually go through with the witch trials?"
"Some people are cruel enough." (Y/N) replied, thoughts drifting with the wind as they headed back to the southside. He could only hope the Hiram would give up. (Y/N) looked at the trailer park when they entered and parked.
"Don't worry, we've got your park." Fangs said, gently bumping his arm with his elbow.
"Humans against supernatural hunters. What could possibly go wrong?" (Y/N) cocked a brow, crossing his arms.
"Be positive, (N/N)." Fangs grabbed his hand, dragging him towards the trailer. Betty and Toni glanced up.
"Good, your back. How are we gonna be able to cast the reverse spell if we don't have magic?" Toni asked.
"Betty could do it." Toni and Betty furrowed their brows.
"Why me?" She asked.
"You have potential." (Y/N) said, sitting down beside Toni. He made a candle appear and motioned to it.
"The easiest trick a witch can do. Light the candle." (Y/N) instructed. Betty swallowed.
"Relax, Betty." Toni said. Betty nodded, relaxing her shoulders and taking in a deep breath. She shifted her attention onto the candle, focusing on it. (Y/N) glanced at the door when Veronica entered.
"Thgil." Betty said. She frowned, looking at (Y/N).
"You have to concentrate all your energy." (Y/N) told her. Betty nodded, looking at the candle.
"Thgil." The candle flickered. Betty smiled widely, glancing at Veronica. She took a deep breath.
"Thgil!" The candle lit up. Betty squealed, clapping her hands. Toni and Fangs chuckled as Veronica sat beside Betty.
"Can anyone do magic?" Veronica asked. (Y/N) shrugged.
"Yes and no. You have to have a certain energy but with the help of an experienced witch, you can do magic without having the energy or genetics." (Y/N) explained, flicking his wrist and making the fire blow out.
"With enough practice you won't have to say the spell aloud." (Y/N) looked at Veronica, motioning to the candle.
"Give it a try." Veronica cleared her throat.
"Thgil." She said. The candle stayed the same. Veronica licked her lips, trying it again. The candle didn't light up.
"I guess Betty is special." Veronica said, looking at her blonde friend. Betty smiled, looking back at the book.
"Me and Archie are gonna have dinner tonight with my parents." Veronica told them.
"Jughead and Sweet Pea are picking fights with some Ghoulies." Toni said. (Y/N) rubbed his forehead, sighing. Hiram was such a pain in the ass.
"Daddy is still going to Greendale." Veronica said, looking a bit guilty. Hiram was annoyed with Archie and completely ignored the mess with the Ghoulies. (Y/N) stuffed his hands into his pockets.
"I'll figure something out, V." (Y/N) said. Veronica stepped forward, hugging him.
"I'm sorry my dad is such a prick." She mumbled. (Y/N) patted her back, looking at her.
"Not your fault." He assured. Veronica stepped back, walking over to Jughead who was gonna drive her home. (Y/N) watched them, glancing over at Sweets and Fangs trailer.
"Fucking Hiram, got me doing dumb selfless things." (Y/N) mumbled, deciding to turn himself in to the annoying human.

Collins debated telling Veronica about James, but she kept biting her tongue each time there was a pause in their conversation. Perhaps the fair the next day was a good time to break the news. There would be so much going on, she doubted her friend could really focus on James.
Deciding she couldn't take the feeling of lying to Veronica in her throat any long, Collins finally excused herself under the guise of going to bed. She figured it'd be quite a few more hours before sleep actually came to her, but at least there was always Tik Tok. As she made her way down the hall, she shedded all but her tank top and underwear and tossed the other clothes into the hamper in the bathroom. Yes, tomorrow would be significant better than the current time.
Collins blew out a breath as she pushed her door open. She turned and grabbed a candle from the table that set next next to the frame and lit it, humming a little tune. It would be nice to sink into the mountains of blankets on her bed and just rest.
Then she paused as she held the match up, still burning. Collins turned slowly to the presence she felt close to her bed. When she saw James, she jumped and the match fell from her hands. "Jesus Christ," she squeaked, grabbing the first thing she saw to drop on the match before it caught her rug on fire. Well, her wrapping papers wouldn't be much use now.
"What are you doing?" she hissed, rounding on James. "You could have texted me instead of giving me a ducking heart attack." Collins placed her hand over her chest, stilling her breaths.

Danny climbed into the front seat of his car. His hands fumbled a little as he pressed the start button and the AC immediately came on full blast. On the way over, he'd been trying to dry down the sweat on his body. He reached over and flicked the knob all the way down.
Now his bones themselves were chilly.
Tapping his fingers against the steering wheel, Danny spared a quick glance at Fume. It would probably hit him later how cute she looked sitting in his passenger seat prepared for a man hunt, but now he just wished she was anything like Delilah so that he could ask where to look for her. His sister had her hideouts, he was sure. Everyone did. But the on he knew best had been his office, eating his snacks. Danny didn't honestly know Delilah that well anymore. "I'm trying to think of anywhere she mentions a lot, that's quiet," he said to Fume. He finally pulled his arms back against his chest.
She'd asked to work nights instead of mornings and he knew she gave a reason. But he'd been fighting the new coffee machines and was only half listening to her rattle off the reasons why he'd be thankful if he just let her do it. But do what?
"She signed up for something recently," he murmured. It was mostly to himself, but he knew Fume could hear him. Danny just needed to talk his thoughts out. Almost as soon as he said it, the conversation played itself in his head like a mini movie. "Gym, she signed up for the new gym," he blurted. That had to be it. She'd always ran away to her trainer in Australia when she was upset.
Danny put the car in drive and pressed his foot hard against the gas. He'd apologize for slamming Fume into the seat later, but now he was on a mission. Only God could be explained for them not running into any cops, but about five minutes later he skidded to a stop in front of the gym. "She's gotta be here," he said, climbing out. Danny walked up to the glass and put his hands on it, blocking out the streetlights.
"Who the fuck is that?" He growled, seeing some man holding Delilah. Danny was half relieved he found her, but even more pissed that he did in that moment. She was clearly fine and probably putting on a show for whoever the hell held her. He barely waited for Fume before he slung the door open and stalked inside.
Delilah awkwardly stumbled closer to Manuel when he pulled her into his arms. Her own hung limply at her sides as she flexed her fingers. Now, this was odd.
But oddly comforting. Perhaps it was because no one had hugged her at all recently without grabbing a handful of ass, or waiting on something in return, but she felt her shoulders relax and she let her head rest on his chest. "How are you gonna handle it?" She asked, voice garbled by his clothes. "No offense, but boxing doesn't equal like, super mega bad ass."
She let out a little chuckle, then a full on giggle. How, oh how, was she laughing right now?
As Delilah went to ask the very same question out loud, her own name boomed across the gym. She jumped back from Manuel and hissed as the movement radiated down her injured arm.
Danny crossed the gym to her in a matter of seconds, and when he stood in front of her, he jabbed her chest with his pointer finger. "I have been worried, and I mean fucking worried sick about you. We get robbed, and you were there, and now you're here trying to get some dick?" Danny paused, his breathing hard. He couldn't help but let his anger out on Delilah, even has his eyes scanned the blood on her arm and eyes as round as saucers.
Delilah opened her mouth, then shut it again. Words never failed her, but she had never seen Danny legitimately angry at her. Frustrated and annoyed, oh more times than either of them could count, but never angry. And he had never put a single hand, or finger, on her.
Yet, He had the balls to be angry at her when she got shot. Delilah's eyebrows came together and she drew herself up. No, he was not going to talk to her that way. Her eyes found the handcuffs still attached to his wrist and she let out a humorless laugh. "And where were you, big brother, when I was being shot at?"
At that, Danny's mouth became a thin line. That's what I thought.
