in the meantime come to horrifying realization there's like zero yan clorinde content so everyone sit down and listen to my ted talk (this is a requirement I have locked the doors and blocked the fire exits)
personally don't think Clorinde leans towards threats to be honest. she'd feel horrible and guilty if she did and I don't think she could handle you hating her or being afraid of her (maybe if you pushed her far enough then maybe she could justify it because she's trying to protect you but you'd really have to push it).
imo? leans more towards following you around with a hint of subtle manipulation behinf the scenes0. even if it's within the confines of the Court of Fontaine and the place is swarming with Gardemeks you can never be too sure. absolutely fumbles the excuse if you catch her though (if)
the epitome of gentleman, too. she "bumps" into you a lot and always offers to help– even if it's just a few small bags she takes them from you to help ease your burden, basically following you around like a lost puppy. it's a lot easier to trust the nice, polite woman who helped you then the stilted, awkward woman desperate for your attention.
her reluctance to threaten you or force you to do anything doesn't extend to people you know, though. she can cook up any manner of crime that'd get them stuck fighting a duel with her or dealing with a trial that'd get them sent straight to the fortress.
of course, the first thing she'd do is make sure you're okay. she still cares about you (and she really doesn't mean to manipulate you, but really, don't you find it odd that everyone around you is so sketchy? you should be more careful about who you trust. you trust her though, dont you?).
clorinde is very much in for the long game, in the end. she'd only kidnap you as a last resort. she'd much prefer slowly getting closer to you and having you come with her of your own free will (even if it's because she's been planting ideas in your head that you really aren't safe all alone like this. all your friends turned out to be criminals, after all, and what if they start to blame you and try to hurt you? it's best that you stay with her for a while)
if you had a lover, though? oh, she's livid. she makes sure to pin an absolutely heinous crime on them– one that would involve you. after all, she could swoop in and play savior after killing that wretched pest. she did save you from their alleged plan, after all.
a bit awkward with physical affection to be honest, but she tries in her own way. she does what she can to make your life easier– protects you, makes sure you have a roof over your head and nice clothes, a bed and warm baths, expensive foods..anything you want, she would get you without even asking.
why would you ever want to leave? don't you know how dangerous it is outside? who would take care of you if not her? she provides you with all you need, and with only the best (please don't leave)
basically your personal guard dog. she won't bite if you just listen to her and stay put.
and she's just absolutely smitten. careful if you actually use her gifts, because she'll think you're reciprocating her affection whether you are or not. you'll be drowning in new clothes, always trying need food..and she'll always be hovering over your shoulder, watching.

Lokius Hogwarts AU
All right my dudes, hot take time:
I’ve seen a lot of Hogwarts AU headcanons floating around, and having thought waaaaaay too much about it, I’m here to add my two cents.
( @sortinghatchats has my favorite sorting system I’ve seen to date, since it goes so much in depth into themes throughout the HP series that good ol’ JK barely touches on in her pretty surface level commentary on the subject, so that’s the system I’m gonna use. Go to their blog to learn more about the way the system works bc I’m too lazy to go more in depth than I already have.)
This is gonna be Hella Long tho so I’m putting it under a cut.
Loki: Petrified Slytherin Primary/Slytherin Secondary - sorting: Slytherin House
Perhaps it may seem trite, but Loki really is a Slytherin Primary at heart. Yes he is ambitious and all that stereotypical stuff, but that’s not really what makes a Slytherin a Slytherin. Anyone can be ambitious. No, he’s a Slytherin because he unapologetically prioritizes himself and the people he cares about above all else. 
“Slytherin Primaries are fiercely loyal to the people they care for most. Slytherin is the place where “you’ll make your real friends”– they prioritize individual loyalties and find their moral core in protecting and caring for the people they are closest to. Slytherin’s reputation for ambition comes from the visibility of this promotion of the self and their important people– ambition is something you can find in all four Houses; Slytherin’s is just the one that looks most obviously selfish.”
However, Loki’s trauma has pushed him to something this system calls Petrifying.
“Whether through death, betrayal, abandonment (from either side), or through never having had any to begin with, the Petrified Slytherin has decided that having important people is too dangerous. Having those strong ties leaves you open to pain and weakness, and the pleasure of those connections aren’t worth the despair that comes from their seemingly inevitable loss. In this way, they close themselves off to meaningful connections out of what is ultimately fear (though from the inside, it’s far more likely to be experienced as a rational, sensible decision given the circumstances of the world), and gives them a stony exterior that seems impenetrable, resolute, and cold.” 
Loki wants love and acceptance so badly, but he is convinced that the kind of attachments and relationships that that comes from are far too dangerous and the risk isn’t worth the reward. He pushes people away, hides behind a mask of self-aggrandizement, and betrays others before they can betray him in an attempt to protect himself from potential pain.
In the series, however, we see him slowly unpetrify and move towards a more healthy style of attachment because of Mobius and Sylvie’s influence on him. Whereas his circle of priorities used to include only himself (and arguably Frigga and later, Thor, in the movie timeline), he proverbially “thaws” enough to let Mobius and Sylvie in, and tragically, because of that, the loss of them hurts him so deeply because by the end of season 1, they’re all he had.
His Slytherin Secondary, however, is obvious in his methodology. He’s the god of chaos. He loves improvisation, and plans only exist as long as another better idea doesn’t come along and usurp it. He’ll change and adapt (quite literally) to best fit the situation in front of him, and he takes joy in that. But beneath all the running and his many personas, he has his “neutral state” that he lets only a precious few see. Mobius gets to see it, and so does Sylvie, and as he progresses through the series, he starts to be more comfortable existing in that state where he’s no longer hiding behind everything he feels like the world expects him to be and he can just be himself. 
Mobius: Slytherin Primary (Hufflepuff Model)/Hufflepuff Secondary - sorting: Slytherin House
People like to put Mobius in Hufflepuff, but honestly? I don’t think that’s where he’d be most comfortable. Yes, he is kind and caring to basically everyone, and we see this over and over again in the series. The man radiates comfort. However, like it says in Inky and Kat’s description of the Slytherin Primary, 
“Wanting to help someone doesn’t mean you’re loyal to them. Wanting to help them at the expense of your comforts, your values, your commitments and sometimes even yourself–that does.”
Mobius is kind to a fault. But he is not kind at the expense of himself. Not to everyone at least. He is kind to the child in France, but he is not kind to the point of saving him from the resetting of the timeline, and he doesn’t feel guilty about that. He believes in a duty of care, but he does not believe he has any obligation to go beyond what he thinks that duty of care is. He unapologetically plays favorites, and this is mentioned on multiple occasions. Above all else, Mobius values loyalty as a virtue. Sure, he cares about the TVA and its accompanying morality, and he genuinely does believe it’s his duty to care about and be kind to others. He seems to vibe quite well with the Hufflepuff ideal of caring about people simply because they are people, but this is all secondary to his personal loyalties when push comes to shove. For Mobius,
“dropping that model in order to stand by someone you love, or in order to protect yourself, doesn’t feel like a failing. Sticking to that modelled morality at the expense of betraying or abandoning one of their own would make a Slytherin feel guilty and wrong. Being able to put the things and concepts you like aside for the sake of the people who need you feels more righteous than any moral posturing.”
It’s for this very reason that Mobius gets so angry and feels so betrayed when he thinks Loki has abandoned him for Sylvie, and when Ravonna lies to him and prunes him.
“Betraying your own is the worst kind of crime. Loyalty is precious and terrible; it makes you vulnerable. It’s given sparingly, deeply, and a Slytherin will stand by their loyalties through the same death and fire that a Gryffindor would brave for the sake of doing the right thing, or a Hufflepuff to help someone in need.”
Loki is Mobius’ own. Mobius prioritizes Loki over almost everything else, sticks his neck out for him over and over again, and is willing to sacrifice his own happiness for him. He’s even willing to abandon the whole of his former ideology and prior friendships for this relationship that has become closer to him than his own self, the highest tier of trust and loyalty a Slytherin can give.
“It’s an extreme Slytherin who would let the whole world burn for the sake of a friend, but every Slytherin Primary would be at the very least tempted.”
And Mobius very nearly does exactly that. Even says the words, “burn it to the ground” when Loki asks him what he’s going to do. And he doesn’t feel bad about it. Especially after realizing what the TVA has done to him and the people he cares about. He kicks the TVA out of his circle of care, and doesn’t look back. And he does it for Loki.
Mobius’ Secondary is where people get his Hufflepuff vibes from, I think. A Hufflepuff secondary is marked by “their consistency and the integrity of their method. They’re our hard workers. They build habits and systems for themselves and accomplish things by keeping at them. They have a steadiness that can make them the lynchpin (though not usually the leader) of a community.” And that is what Mobius is. It’s why he radiates that kindness and comfort. He quietly and carefully works at and invests in the relationships in his life to the point that people almost automatically trust him, and over time he has learned how to read people and figure out what makes them tick. 
He approaches new situations with a steady head and gentle hand that Loki is unused to, and it’s this approach that eases Loki into learning how to trust and rely on people. It’s an inherently Hufflepuff approach, and it’s the key to his success as an analyst for the TVA and an understanding friend for Lokis across the timelines.
Tl;dr - Application to an actual Hogwarts AU fic:
THEREFORE! There’s a compelling narrative to be had with a tiny, first-year Loki coming into Hogwarts. He comes from a pureblood family that’s very proud of their Gryffindor heritage (they don’t talk about Hela, and Loki and Thor don’t even know she exists until later in this story), and his brother had been sorted into Gryffindor a couple years prior, and Loki has heard very little other than contempt for Slytherin House and everyone in it. Loki doesn’t want to be sorted into Slytherin. He doesn’t want to deal with the disappointment and shame from his father and the sad eyes of his brother. But the sorting hat sorts him there almost immediately, and his heart sinks. He wanders over to the table miserably but determined. If he’s gonna be sorted into the “evil” house, might as well just run with it, right? Best not to get close to people though. It’s Slytherin. Who knows when someone will betray you.
Enter Mobius, the tiny muggleborn, bright eyed, bushy tailed, and having no clue about the prejudices between houses. The hat takes a hot minute sorting him, giving him the choice between Hufflepuff and Slytherin and telling him Hufflepuff would love a kindhearted and welcoming member like him. But Mobius has been eyeing the little black-haired kid who got sorted before him and is now sitting far apart from everyone, and he can’t help but feel like he needs to be this kid’s friend. And didn’t the hat just say Slytherin is where you’ll make your real friends? Friends are what Mobius cares about, so he’d like to go to Slytherin, thank you very much, so that’s where he goes, and he happily plunks himself down right next to Loki and sticks his hand out.
“I’m Mobius. What’s your name?”
 Loki looks at Mobius’ hand disdainfully and doesn’t shake it, but he does answer, “Loki.”
Mobius’ eyes go wide, and he smiles. “Loki? Like after the Norse god?”
Loki nods, eyeing Mobius suspiciously. People don’t often bat an eye at his name. Not in the wizarding world, anyway.
“Wow, that’s so cool! I loved reading about Norse mythology in school and Loki was always my favorite. Names have power, you know. If you’ve got the same name, then you must be just as awesome.”
Loki has no idea what to do with this kid, but he’s immediately aware of two things:
He’s absolutely sure that this Mobius kid is in the wrong house. No way a Slytherin can be this excited without a single hint of deception in his face.
He’s going to be eaten alive by the other students if Loki doesn’t protect him. What a pain.
Loki is completely wrong on both of these points.

what i immediately think of you based on your favorite fallout 4 companion:
or maybe a better title would have been what i think based on the companion you relate to the most? im not sure that just doesnt have a good ring to it
anyway
- cait: you come across as a violent, or generally brash person, but are good at heart. your violence or harsh tendencies likely have a reason behind them. you probably had something in your past where people who you trusted ended up betraying you, or someone you idolized turned out to be someone completely different. and this had an impact on you, causing you to protect yourself in the easiest way you know—pushing people away. because if you don't have anyone important to you, then you can't go through the same thing again. (or you just like her accent. valid.) just remember, even if some people have hurt you, not everyone will. there are people who care. just let them in. don't be afraid to be vulnerable, that shows that you're truly strong.
- codsworth: you're a pretty sentimental person and struggle to leave the past behind. which, while sweet, may get in your way sometimes. but generally you are a nice person. you like to help people out, but the main source of pleasure you gain from that is the satisfaction of knowing you helped someone, rather than the happiness of just knowing that person was helped. your sentimentality likely originates from some sort of loss, whether big or small. remember, you have people in your corner. you can rely on them.
- curie: either you're into science or philosophy, or you like accents. but most likely you're a pretty sweet person. you like to help people, but it probably ends up being self-sacrificial quite often even if you don't realize it. take care of yourself!! you're important too, the satisfaction of helping other people wont be enough to help you in the long run, and you need to acknowledge that. you probably help people and use that as a scapegoat for someone you weren't able to help well enough, whether that person is you or someone else, and end up overlooking your own needs. prioritize yourself first, allow yourself to be the most important person in your life.
- paladin danse: either you like the military, or you only played the brotherhood storyline so you could have him. also, you probably have some deep-rooted insecurity based in everyone seeing you as different and judging you for it, but you don't do anything to counter it and end up avoiding people as a whole because of it. you may think of other people as too much effort, or too confusing, or generally just not worth it when there are more important things to be done. you look up to those stronger than you, and look down on those weaker than you, and use that to shape yourself. you end up leaving the real you behind, so that maybe other people will think you're just as strong as the people you admire. but you don't have to be strong all the time. its okay.
- deacon: you're secretive. not because you necessarily have anything to hide, but to protect yourself. you may have opened up to someone in the past and then lost them, or been betrayed, and now find it difficult to be honest about yourself. opening up about yourself to anyone is a sign of great trust, and something that doesn't happen often, so you have a hard time doing it at all, but especially after being hurt because of it. you keep your heart close to your chest, and hide it behind humor and lies, because at least you don't have to be honest when you're cracking jokes. a lot of these jokes are probably pretty self-deprecating, a way of venting your struggle without having to truly bare yourself to anybody. but you don't have to lie to keep people around. people will love you just as much if you're true to yourself.
- dogmeat: you're a bit of a lone wolf. whether it's for a serious reason or just a dislike for people, you find it much simpler to be by yourself. you may have trouble trusting people, or even just issues working with people because of conflict. but as much as it may seem easier to just avoid people as a whole, you cant do that forever. if you let people in, and you trust them, they'll trust you too. it will help you out in the long run. (or hey! maybe you just like dogs. thats valid.)
- hancock: you're a very accepting person. you let people open up to you, make yourself a safe space for anyone who might need it. but you don't open yourself up to others, out of fear that maybe they'll see your flaws and leave you. as accepting as you are, you struggle to accept parts of yourself, and assume others wont be able to either. you struggle to think you're good enough, and so instead you make yourself a blank slate in a way, for people to interpret however they want. you disregard yourself, your personality, your past, and try to start anew without actually resolving any of your history. which may work fine for a while, but eventually it will stack up. it never left, you just tucked it away. you need to confront your past before working on the future. accept yourself and others will too.
- maccready: you're also quite a sentimental person, but in another way. you can't leave the past behind, because it changed you. you want things to go back to the way they were, so you can maybe change the way things went, change the things you did, but you can't. furthermore, you find the world immensely unfair, and it is. and as much as you may wish things were different, they arent, and theres nothing you can do now to fix it. whether you want to forget or not, the memories stick with you, and continuously remind you what you "could have done," even if you couldn't truly have changed the outcome. forgive yourself. its okay to remember, but it's not okay to dwell on the past and keep hurting yourself over it. the past happened, but the future is still being built. live your life.
- nick valentine: you're a very giving person, and enjoy helping people. however, you can hold a grudge. whether you or someone important to you was wronged, you won't forget about it until it has been resolved. depending on the severity, a well-done apology can satiate you, but if they did something serious, you won't rest until they get what you think they deserve. not necessarily in a violent sense, but in a general manner. you recognize that the world is corrupt and unfair, and see it as your role to try to bring about some fairness in the world, but sometimes end up stretching yourself too thin. be careful. it's good to care so much about others, but be sure to care for yourself too.
- piper: you likely had to grow up too fast, because of something that happened in your past. because of that, you struggle to truly let loose. you refuse to rely on other people and insist on being self-sufficient, but you also insist on trying to take care of others too, which builds up a lot of stress that you never really learned how to relieve. so instead of taking care of your stress, you absorb yourself in work. additionally, you're very headstrong, and while being persistent is a good thing, it comes back to bite you once in a while. so make sure to be cautious. you need to protect yourself, but you don't need to always be on guard. relax, let loose. you're still young and have life ahead of you.
- preston: you've been at the lowest point in your life and back up again. this low point, though, changed you. the way you thought, the way you acted, the way you cared for people. it changed you, positively and negatively. you've seen and experienced a lot of struggle, and that made you stronger, but it also made you afraid. not afraid of getting hurt, but afraid of not being able to protect those you care about from the strife that you've seen cause the downfall of so many people. you see it as your role to protect people, as something that brings you purpose. you've probably felt that way for a long time though. someone you admired may have gotten hurt and you weren't able to protect them, and you try to make up for it by protecting everyone else. but it's not your responsibility to protect everyone. it's not your fault if you can't. protect yourself first, and find self-worth outside of your work. focus out the present, and everything else will fall into place. its okay to take a break.
- strong: you prioritize yourself over others, to the point where you may end up disregarding other peoples thoughts or feelings because you think yours are more "important." because of this, you are generally a bit judgmental and only think something is worthwhile if it will benefit you. this may originate from some sort of neglect or similar treatment in the past, where you were forces to be self-sufficient. but it is important to be able to prioritize yourself while still being kind to other people. you look down on people who you think are weak, because you were forced to be strong enough to protect yourself. but you should allow yourself to listen to other people, because they'll care about you if you care too. relationships are valuable and important, even if you have only a few of them. be more open to other people, it won't hurt you.
- x6-88: similarly, you may feel a sense of superiority over some people. however, this is likely because you were frequently admired and praised for not showing vulnerability, whether in a physical or emotional sense. you may tend to repress your emotions, out of convenience or fear of having them used against you, which ends up affecting you negatively in the long run for a variety of reasons. for one, emotions will build up, causing stress and general struggle. but also, refusing to open up can harm interpersonal relationships, causing issues with trust, honesty, and more. you may feel relationships aren't worth it, but having people in your corner in a way that's mutually beneficial is very important. vulnerability is a sign of strength, but you were likely taught the opposite, and it's hard to shake something so deeply ingrained. it's a process, but it's worth it. allow yourself to be vulnerable, allow yourself to be protected. you won't disappoint people, it's alright.

V3 boys (plz include Amami and Hoshi; don’t wanna leave them out) their s/o willingly joining Angie’s “Student Council” for their own personal gain/reasons and (though they still love each other) now they have to deal with being on opposing sides of them until the group later disbands?
Oh anon, you couldn't find a way to ever make me not include Amami or Hoshi. They're both amazing characters and fun to write to boot however, I did struggle a bit. I had to write it where anyone could have killed Angie each time and also wrote this where each boy isn't a part of the council in their segment so I hope that you like it still. As with everything else though, feel free to tell me if you don't.
Tumblr media
Rantaro
Rantaro and you had bonded ever since the killing games started.
You fed off of each other you with his calmness and him with your rationality which is why what you did next came as a total surprise.
You two had started dating only shortly before Angie assembled the Student Council but Rantaro still felt a little betrayed by you joining.
He's a rational guy so he'd try to pull you aside and ask why you joined.
He'd try his hardest just to talk to you civilly and wouldn't try to force you out of the Student Council. He'd just wanted to be able to talk but you wouldn't give him the time of day.
He was thinking it was as though you were never going to talk to him again when the body announcement played its sickening tone. "A body has been discovered!"
He knew that the Student Council couldn't prevent any worries but he couldn't help but still feel sick to his stomach.
Even with all the effort that you and other members put in, they couldn't prevent the murder of Angie. No one could but they could at least bring her murderer to justice and he would be able to find out the other mystery earing away at him too.
It wouldn't be until after the case when he'd ask if you both could talk in his room. He wouldn't push or anything but he'd still be pretty adamant in needing to see you right then and as soon as you would agree he wouldn't beat around the bush.
"S/o, I know that you always were a rational person so I need to ask once again. Why did you join Angie's Student Council?"
He'd try to be calm as usual but he was itching to know.
"I wanted to try to protect everyone else in the student council. They might have banded together but they were going to get themselves killed. I thought if I said it aloud that they'd be onto me. I'm... I'm sorry Rantaro."
He couldn't believe what he was hearing. You were too kind of a person. You couldn't protect everyone but you still tried so hard.
After hearing your reasoning he'd simply wrap his arms around you, trying to comfort you for the night.
Ryoma
Ryoma was used to you staying by his side. You two had started dating thanks to your own persistence to break his barriers but he assumed that it wouldn't last long.
Someone like him didn't deserve someone as great as you.
He thought it over and over but he still didn't expect that you'd leave so quickly.
It was like as soon as you got a chance to go to the student council you just did without looking back.
Guess he should have seen it coming though. No one should stick around a guy like him.
Or at least that's what he said but even if he wouldn't approach you he'd always keep his eyes glued to you. His mind was still stuck on you and how you treated him before this whole damn student council started.
He'd work up the initiative to finally ask you about it though only after the whole thing came crashing down.
Like Rantaro he can wait until there's an appropriate time but he wouldn't be able to restrain himself asking at one point in the class trial.
"S/o, why did you join the student council in the first place?"
Normally, Ryoma never even seemed to suspect you but that trial would be relentless. He doesn't do anything that gets them off point or further from discovering the culprit but there is definitely some weird tension the whole time.
And that tension wouldn't dissipate until you blurted out, "I thought that by joining them I could make sure none of them would target you if they betrayed us. It wasn't right but I wanted to make sure you were safe. You don't deserve to suffer anymore Ryoma!"
Then it's his turn to feel cornered.
"S/o......we'll talk about this later but...thanks. Thanks for not giving up on a guy like me. Let's find this killer together yeah?"
Korekiyo
Kiyo thought that the student council idea was foolish from the start.
He was used to you believing in him and his tales of Gods but Atua now too?
He just couldn't wrap his head around you leaving him for that.
You were the one that pursued him in a romantic endeavor and now you were tossing him aside?
He wouldn't let that slide as easily as the others.
He would be meticulous but he isn't going to pull any punches either.
Similar to Ryoma he'd end up cornering you, trying to force you to spill the beans while exposing Angie's murderer and he wouldn't let up the entire trial.
Not until you told him that you thought you'd protect him. "You corrected Angie plenty of times on how Gods typically acted so I thought she might try to target you. I just wanted to keep you safe, Kiyo."
That's when it's his turn to be shocked.
Why were you so adorably foolish at times?
"Oh S/o, I'll forgive you but that was quite the foolish thought."
Kokichi
Do you think this boy would just let you run off to join the student council after you won his heart?
Well, you're right.
Kokichi doesn't trust most people let alone show that he cares for them so he wouldn't bat at an eye at you suddenly cutting him out.
He'd just treat you pretty badly going out of his way to be more of a nuisance and in less of an endearing way and more of an annoying way.
He doesn't want to hear what you have to say, he just wants you to know that it's not bugging him at all. Although, that's the biggest lie he's told yet.
He's miserable without you and wants to know why you'd join Angie of all people.
He was normally so great at reading people and here he was stumped by his own lover, or ex-lover as he assumed.
It really wouldn't occur to him why you were in the student council until he'd hear you during the trial.
"So you were in the Council to try to protect everyone else? That's pretty stupid but I might be able to forgive you then. Unless that's a lie that is...."
He'll be lying about never forgiving you but you'd see him go back to his usual chipper and childish self around you soon after that.
Kaito
Kaito is one of the most vehement in getting someone to rely on him.
If you suddenly stopped talking to him to go run off with the Student Council, there's no way he'd let it slide.
He unlike, the others wouldn't wait at all before pushing you back against the wall and confronting you.
It pissed him off more than anything for you to be ignoring him but he'd have to soon accept that he couldn't make you speak.
He liked you and your strong personality from the start, it's why you started dating, but god was it pissing him off now.
As soon as the Body Discovery played the very same day that he had cornered you to try to interrogate you he'd still feel his stomach drop even if he claimed he was angry with you.
He had to know you were safe and would come running pulling you to him like Gonta.
"That's it S/o, you're going to tell me right here and now why you were in Angie's bullshit Student Council!"
He wouldn't care if he was inconveniencing your own investigation, holding onto you and not letting go until you'd tell him point-blank that you wanted to protect him.
"You're always running headfirst into things so I thought that the curfew would be better for you. Nearly everyone knew how you would go to train with Shuichi and Maki, what if something happened to you?"
That's when Kaito lets out a laugh as he lets go of you.
"Nothing could happen to me. I'm Kaito Momota, luminary of the stars! So...you know don't worry. I'd...never leave you, you know."
Kiibo
This is one boy that spent his whole life wanting to love.
Now that he got to feel that though, you decided to introduce him to the equally powerful feeling of heartbreak.
He couldn't fathom why you'd stop talking to him only to join Angie's Council.
He thought it might've been his fault but it all just felt so illogical. Illogical and heart-wrenching at the same time.
He'd try on multiple occasions to get you to talk to him and yet you wouldn't even give him a moment.
Why? What did he do?
He pondered on and on what he could've done to get you to dislike him so much suddenly when a certain familiar tone snapped him out of his thoughts.
Was that what he thought it was?
He'd come rushing immediately, pushing himself to get to you and check that you're safe.
When he sees that you are he's so relieved but why are you talking to him now?
"S/o I know that time is imperative but I need to know, why were you ignoring me?"
"I'm sorry Kiibo, I was worried that Angie would realize that I was trying to get her to stop saying that robots wouldn't come with us to paradise and I just....went too far. I went way too far and I'm sorry"
"S/o I’ll, we can talk about this later but thank you. Thank you for caring so much for me and teaching me so many things whenever we’re together. I learned what heartbreak was and though I didn’t particularly enjoy it I promise that I'll still always be with you."
Shuichi
Shuichi as most know lacks confidence.
He thought he had finally found some when you decided that you yourself would cease speaking to him removing yourself from his company to instead go with the Student Council.
Like Gonta or Rantaro, he'd try to question you but you'd brush him off only insisting that he listens to the Council's decisions.
He didn't understand it. He wanted to find out why you joined Angie so suddenly but it wouldn't be until the trial that he'd place the pieces together.
"S/o didn't you join because you suspected someone within the Council would make an attempt on Angie's life?"
"I...I guess I don't need to hide it anymore. You're right Shuichi, I didn't care about anything other than trying to prevent the murder of Angie."
He was so glad once he realized what it was. He'd talk with you later but for now, he had to tell you one thing.
"I knew it. There was no way you'd cut me out so suddenly for some other reason. You might not have been able to prevent Angie's death but we can still expose the one behind her murder. Let's do this S/o!"
Gonta
You don't need to be told twice that Gonta is a sweetheart but....he is!
He'd be in love with you for your kindness so he wouldn't even bat an eye at the notion of dating in a killing game.
"Love works in mysterious ways." Is how the saying goes, not that he'd ever really use it to describe your situation.
He thought it wasn't that unusual. What he thought was unusual was when you'd suddenly stop talking to him altogether only to run over to the Student Council's side.
He'd try to ask you why you joined, mostly worried when you'd snub the poor baby.
He felt as though he did something wrong. He'd try to apologize to you one day but on his way to see you he heard the usual sickening announcement.
"A body has been found!"
He had to find you! He quickly tears through the halls and immediately pulls you into him when he sees you're safe and sound.
And now you were talking to him too! It was a miracle but he still wanted to know what was up.
"S/o why you join Student Council in first place?"
"I had a bad dream that something would happen to you, I thought that if I joined I'd be able to stop something like this from happening."
He couldn't believe his ears but would quickly forgive you. He loves you after all.

stolen whispers-chapter 2
AN: Chapter 2 is here!!  I decided to post it on here as normal, I hope you guys enjoy!
Summary: Albus discovers Scorpius is missing and must rely on the help of his family.
Time: Spring 2028
Extra info: James Sirius is married to my OC, Iris. They have two children.
~~~~
It had been a few hours since Scorpius had left. Now at nearly 2pm, Albus was starting to grow concerned. Scorpius had a tendency to dawdle and get distracted by all the wonderful things at the market, but this was a bit ridiculous. Even for Scorpius. Panicking would do him no good, so he decided to try calling him. One ring...two...three...straight to voice-mail. Well, shit. He sighed, running his hand through his dark curls. He wasn't paranoid, but he decided to send him a text too, just for good measure.
Still nothing. But it hadn't been that long. Surely Scorpius would call shortly. Everything would be fine. But there was a pit in his stomach still, a strong feeling that something was wrong.
'Paranoia be damned.' Albus thought. 'I have to make sure he's okay.'
The farmer's market had cleared out mostly, several vendors were starting to pack up. Heart pumping in his chest, he approached the nearest one.
"Ms. Beaker!" He called.
"Al, dear." The old woman smiled kindly. "What can I do for you? I'm afraid I'm packing up my fruit for today."
"Have you seen Scorpius?" He asked impatiently. "My husband."
"Oh yes." Ms. Beaker said. "He bought my strawberries, such a nice young man. But I haven't seen him since. He seemed to have vanished."
"Vanished?" Albus repeated. "Thank- thank you. I've got to go now."
He walked briskly towards the end of the market, trying not to think of worse case scenarios. Just as he was hovering his finger over his phone, about to call him again, something made him stop in his tracks.
A discarded basket lay clumsily on the ground. Several strawberries were scattered clumsily across the floor. Its handles were bent, clearly messed around with, but at the same time recognizable to him. Scorpius brought it with him on market trips. He often joked that it made him look like Red Riding Hood, a muggle fairytale. Albus had even tied a silver ribbon to the handle as a gift.
"Scorpius..." He murmured, collecting the basket. Okay, maybe panicking was a good idea.
'Draco. I have to find Draco. He'll know what to do.'
Finding a secluded area to collect his thoughts, he apparated to the infamous Malfoy Manor. He didn't waste any time admiring the gilded gates or the fountains or even the proud peacocks grazing nearby. No, he had to find his father in law. Luck was on his side, because he found the older wizard outside, admiring a flowered hedge.
"Draco!" He gasped, rushing forward. He didn't care about being sweaty or rude for intruding. "Please- I need your...sir I need your help."
Draco raised his brow, now puzzled as to why his son in law had apparted to the Manor at such an odd time. "With what? Come here, son.”
"I can't- I don’t." Albus shook his head.
"Where's Scorpius?"
"That's just it. I don't know. He's..." He looked grim. "He's missing."
"What do you mean 'missing'?" Draco said, though he looked deeply worried. As if he already knew the worst was coming.
Albus made a frustrated noise. "I mean, he's gone! He was at the farmer's market earlier today and he's been gone for hours. I’ve called him using my mobile, but still nothing at all. No response, not even a text."
"And he didn't have any work or ...?"
"No."
"We can't assume anything. Perhaps you should wait here while I think of something."
"Draco, what else can we do? We can't sit here when he could be hurt or lost or-"
"Why weren't you with him?" Draco demanded, his temper rising. The two men were face to face, both more scared than angry. “How could my son be missing again?”
"In case you didn't realize Draco, he's a grown adult and can go wherever he likes." Albus retorted, not the least bit intimidated by his father in law. He may be shorter than him, but he was stubborn as sin, and nothing mattered more than Scorpius. "That isn't the point, I didn't think this would happen. Please, can we not argue and figure out what to do?"
"You're right." He sighed. He looked so much older, exhausted. "I'm sorry, us arguing isn't going to help. I know it wasn’t your fault."
For a brief moment, their eyes met. Two men that loved Scorpius in different ways.
"I don't want to think it's a kidnap, but if it is?"
Draco hummed. "The Malfoys have many enemies. It wouldn't surprise me." He fiddled with his wedding ring. "We can't assume though, surely we can..."
A letter dropped in front of them with a thud. It seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, no owl in sight.
Draco snatched it before Al could, scanning it over. He looked faint, dazed. Pale and sickly, he read it over once. Then again. His hands were trembling.
"Draco....Draco!" He waved his arm desperately. "What does it say?"
"It's Scorpius. You’re right. He...has been taken."
No. No this can't be happening. Not Scorpius. Anybody but Scorpius.
"By who?" Albus urged, growing more frantic by the second. "We can't waste time standing around or..." His eyes filled with desperate, terrified tears. "Is he alive?" He whispered. "I need to know."
"Yes, he's alive." Draco nodded gravely. "I don't know who they are, but they're Death Eater sympathizers. Read it- they want gold."
Malfoy,
If you want to see your son alive again, listen carefully.
Empty all the gold you have and bring it to us.
And, join our side to repent your sins of betraying the Dark Lord.
We will bring your son back safe and sound.
Send the money to ____ and come alone.
~~~~
L, M, S
Albus sighed in relief. "They just want money, that's easy, isn't it? We can pool in however much they want."
"That's not the issue. Think, Albus!" Draco snapped. "I would give them all the gold in the Malfoy vaults if it meant Scorpius was safe. But who's to say they won't comply once they have it?"
Albus frowned, thinking for a moment. "We have to try at least. L...M...S, who could they be?"
"And that's not all they want. They want me to join their side. To make up for my betrayal of Voldemort."
"You wouldn't." He said. "Nor would Scorpius. Let's bring the note to Jamie and Iris, see if they can decipher it. Maybe my dad can-"
"I have to."
"What?" Albus looked alarmed. His heart was pounding as he waited for Draco to explain himself.
"They don't just want money. Look at it closer," He pointed at the note. "If I refuse..."
"They won't tell us where he is?"
Draco's grey eyes were wide with fear. "Worse. They'll kill him."
~•~
Albus refused to rest until he found some sort of clue of Scorpius' whereabouts. Draco had reluctantly opted to stay at the manor, in case more ransom notes arrived.
His first instinct was to visit James and Iris. Iris was an accomplished Auror, and James...well he was good for moral support. Lily was off in Romania, so she wouldn't be much help.Then contact his parents who would help as well. His Aunt Hermione too. He'd want the entire Ministry of Magic to help rescue Scorpius.
"I'll send you a patronus if something happens." Draco vowed. He reached a hand to Albus' shoulder. "Please bring him back safely."
Albus nodded firmly. "I will."
He used Draco's fireplace, holding his breath as he traveled through the floo network. His mind flashed of Scorpius' sweet blue eyes and dimpled cheeks. Youthful but wise beyond his years. His first best friend.
Please be alright. Please.
He tumbled out of the fireplace in a heap of soot. He grunted, standing up, too determined to focus on the state of himself. Probably a mess, hair askew and clothes covered in dirt.
"Bloody hell, Al!" His sister in law; Iris exclaimed. "What are you-"
"Iris." He gasped. "I need your help."
"You better sit down then. You look a right state." She said, looking the antithesis of Albus. Neat, pristine and elegant with her dark hair down her shoulders. A book she had been reading was on the floor, no doubt thrown to the side after being startled by Al's unexpected entrance. Little Henry, still a toddler even dropped his blocks.
"Alligator!" Henry piped, pointing at Albus.
"Yes, sweetheart it's Uncle Alligator." Iris said softly. Henry seemed satisfied with that, and went back to his blocks.
"Thanks," Albus murmured, taking a seat as she gestured to him. She flicked her wand casually, and a charmed teapot started to whistle. "Where's-"
"Jim's with Jazzy, off practicing Quidditch." She explained, levitating the mug towards his shaky hands. Albus would have chuckled at the nickname, but felt too numb. "Right then, what's happened?"
He explained the entire situation, but it came out so weakly, it felt like he was vomiting. His stomach was queasy with anxiety.
"It's all my fault. I should have been with him, then it wouldn't have happened." He put his head in his hands.
"Stop it, Al. Listen to me very carefully, okay?" Iris said, after examining the letter. "It's in no way your fault. So stop moping, chin up, I'll help you out. We all will. James, Teddy, Harry, Hermione, my mum...everyone will help find Scorpius."
Albus stared at his tea, eyes watering. "I don't know." He whispered. "I don't..."
"Take a deep breath," She placed a gentle, comforting hand to his shoulder. "We will. I swear on it."
"I'm scared."
"I know. It'll be okay."
"You don't know that."
"You're right. I don't. But still I'm going to send an owl to everyone. We'll need as many people as possible to decipher this note."
"Are you sure you want to help out I mean with..." Albus gestured at her barely visible bump.
Iris narrowed her eyes sharply, summoning parchment. "Yes. I've made up the guest room by the way. You're staying here."
"I don't need to..."
"You are. I insist. You don't need to be alone tonight. And don't argue. You're no good if you're exhausted." She lifted Henry in her arms, bouncing him. "Now shoo, I've got to finish this one letter."
"Who else are you contacting?" Albus tilted his head.
"The second best Auror I know, the one who can help us find him and decipher any codes from these people."
"Don't leave me in suspense, Iris."
"You won't love it...but..."
"Iris." He pressed.
"It's Rose."
~•~
Rose. Rose Granger-Weasley was an enigma. They had gotten along as kids, played gobstones and quidditch for hours but as they grew older, things were awkward and distant. After school, they remained cordial. Still, if she was supposedly their only hope, he would (begrudgingly) comply.
"Hey there baby brother." James opened the guest room door. "Dinner's ready!"
"I'm not hungry." Albus said flatly. How could he possibly eat or rest or do anything when Scorpius was alone somewhere.
"Listen, I know you're worried about Scorpius..." James said. "But Rose is here, and she read the note. She has an idea."
"And? What is it?" He snapped.
"Hi Al." Rose poked her head from behind James.
"What do you want?"
"Nice to see you too, Albus." She said coolly. "My idea is...well, it really requires us both to work together."
Albus scowled.
"We have to give them the gold.” She said. “It’s the only way, for sure that they’ll bring Scorpius back.” 
“There’s no promise they’ll just hand him over!” Albus said. “Draco said, he said they might just be using it as a trick- to bait us.” 
“If they do turn on us, we’ll have a team of Aurors to fight against them. Iris, meanwhile since she’s-” 
Albus gestured vaguely to his midsection. “Pregnant.”
“We don’t want her going into a possible battle. I’m not putting her, or our baby at risk.” James said, his voice hoarse. 
“She’ll be doing research on these kidnappers. Find out as much information as she can.” Rose explained. “We could find out why exactly they want Scorpius. Why are they still hung up over a war that ended three decades ago.” 
“Because they’re insane?” Albus frowned. “Who cares why? They have him, and we have to get him back!”
“Think for once, Albus!” Rose said, and Albus felt his temper rising again. “Finding out the why gives us clues as to how to find him! I know you want to gallantly rescue him, but you have to think logically. We have to plan this out.” 
“While you’re planning this, he could be hurt or…” Albus gulped, refusing to say it. He knew they were all thinking it. “I’m not wasting time.” 
“While you’re both arguing,” James interrupted. “You’re wasting precious time. I think Rose is right. Draco brings the gold to them, they bring Scorpius. If they don’t, we’ve got our team to kick their arses until they cry.”  
“I wasn’t going to put it that way but…”
“Draco already wrote his response. Now all we need to do is find them.” 
Albus wasn’t too confident in this plan. It sounded deeply flawed. But, if this was the one way to get Scorpius back, he refused to argue anymore.

Breaking points
A lot of the characters in TDP have reached their breaking point somewhere in the first two seasons. Some haven’t yet, but we have an upcoming season that might break them. Mua ha ha haa. 
When a character breaks, it’s very telling. We learn so much about these precious characters by what they can endure, and by what pushes them too far. We’ve all endured hard times, and we’ve all broken at one point or another. Seeing characters struggle, survive, break, and keep surviving makes them relatable and keeps us invested in their fate. It also keeps us hopeful--if they can make it, we can, too.
Let’s break down the breakdowns we’ve seen so far.
Harrow broke when he yelled at Viren in his throne room with his “thank you for starting this unwinnable war”. 
Tumblr media
He realized he had to send his sons away because he was about to die for his sins. that it was all his fault, but he blamed Viren out loud, even though he knew it was his own fault for agreeing. Putting Viren on his knees later was just him reiterating his point: the problem isn’t really dark magic. It’s Viren’s love of dark magic, and how that does make Viren feel special. He’s probably never come up with a solution that didn’t use it. Harrow’s best friend is never going to change. He’ll keep getting people hurt and killed because he can’t see the cost everyone else is paying for his power. And Harrow’s not giving Viren his boys’ lives on top of Sarai’s. Harrow’s breaking because he’s realized that he, not Viren, got Sarai killed. The only way to save his sons’ lives is to admit he got his wife killed by following Viren’s plan. Harrow hates himself. And he takes it out on Viren.
Rayla broke when she drew her swords against Runaan.

She was literally begging him to understand and support her, but he wouldn't stop his killing mission. She knew Ezran didn’t have to die, but she wanted to save Harrow too. If they let Harrow live, there’s a better chance for peace. If there’s peace, guys, Rayla’s parents might get to come home. When Rayla saw the egg, she didn’t just see a way to stop the war. She saw a way to redeem her parents’ honor without killing anyone. A way to get them back. As much as she loves and admires Runaan, he’ll never quite replace her parents. With the prospect of restoring their honor and maybe getting them back, or at least paying back their sacrifice of giving her up, Rayla turns her back on Runaan’s teachings. He was all she knew, his assassin ways all she wanted to learn, until suddenly she had a chance to get her parents back. Who wouldn’t fight for that, even against the elf who raised her?
Runaan broke on the balcony and cried after he sent the shadowhawk and its blood ribbon to the Dragon Queen.
Tumblr media
Rayla abandoned him--the child he poured his heart and soul into. He’ll never see his beloved tinker again--or so he believes at this point. His mission is a Pyrrhic victory, taking the king but costing everyone’s lives save Rayla’s. He’s done his duty, which he holds very close to his heart, but somehow that’s only made a bigger mess for everyone he cares about. He’s sad, he’s scared, he’s in pain, he’s alone in enemy territory. He breaks. Quietly, where no one can see it. And then, he has to pull himself back together when he ends up alive in Viren’s dungeon. And not all the pieces fit like they used to.
Viren broke when his true-seeing mirror spell failed. (or did it just work “differently true”, thanks Lujanne)
Tumblr media
Viren’s been under a lot of stress for a long time. He believes Katolis is in deadly danger. His best friend just turned against him and then died. He’s had to ask his kids to do harsh things to save the kingdom. And he has this glorious mirror that he knows is powerful and important and could turn the tide of the war, but he can’t figure out how to get it to work. He feels like an idiot and a failure, and he thinks he’ll lose the kingdom and the war because of it. Viren’s a genius, but with heightened awareness comes a lot of pressure and anxiety. The fate of humanity is a constant weight on his mind. Viren can keep his temper with his kids, even with Runaan. He let it slip a little at Harrow. But he absolutely rages at himself. He expects so much and feels he has too little to offer. When the mirror won’t crack, Viren cracks instead.
Callum broke when he learned Claudia had betrayed him.
Tumblr media
Losing his step-dad was a huge blow, obviously. But he’d already lost his birth father. And he had a mission to complete: returning the egg to Xadia. When he thought he could trust his long-time friends to help him, he was in good spirits, despite learning of Harrow’s death. But when Claudia tried to capture him, he saw her true allegiance. It wasn’t to him, or his stepdad. It was to Viren. And that changed everything for Callum. He’s always believed that elves aren’t trustworthy. Rayla’s slowly changing his mind on that. But here, Callum’s learning that humans can be untrustworthy, too. That actions speak louder than words. He’s had positive experiences with Rayla, giving him hope and courage. But now he’s struck with a big negative, and it’s knocked out some of his balance. Maybe Claudia’s betrayal was actually necessary for Callum to get his mind into a place where he could accept something deep and true about elves, and thus could connect to the Sky arcanum. He definitely thrust himself into meditating on Sky to cope with his feelings--or to avoid them--and brought himself closer to his magic as a result.
Soren broke by crying about failing his dad, and how he was relieved that he couldn’t move so he couldn’t do the terrible things Viren told him to do.
Tumblr media
He loves his father. Wants to be a good son. Viren’s approval means more to him than right and wrong. But he knew VIren’s order to kill the princes was wrong. He doesn’t want to judge his dad. And he doesn’t want to kill his friends. So taking himself out of the equation is a huge relief, and the only good option he can see. Soren would rather hurt himself than his dad, or the princes. What a sweet boy.
Claudia broke by killing the deer for Soren. 
Tumblr media
It doesn’t look like she broke. She cried earlier over hurting Callum by telling him the truth about Harrow’s death. But this is a watershed moment for Claudia--her first big dark magic kill. Her first time choosing to kill something big enough that it leaves the mark of its power in her hair. This is what it looks like when you start forcing your will onto the world instead of finding a more organic (ahaha) way to resolve things. She’s killing things to drag the world where she wants it to be. We know where this road will take her if she doesn’t step off: she’ll end up like Ziard and Viren. It’ll kill her, along with countless other creatures and beings she sees as expendable for her own purposes. This is the first big leap down that slippery slope. In a way, she broke because Soren broke. They rely so heavily on each other for support, with a dad like Viren, that Claudia literally can’t stand on her own.
Ezran broke when he learned his dad was dead. 
Tumblr media
Ezran’s been happy to remain a child up to this point on their quest. His responsibilities have been heavy, but he hasn’t had to grow up yet. He’s strong enough to carry the egg. He can work with Bait to provide light and tactical flashes. He’s capable of talking to Zym and teaching him to fly. He’s able to keep up on the trip. He hasn’t needed to grow up any further yet. But he knows deep down what being a king means, and that it’s different than being just a prince. When he first broke, Ezran reacted by running away from his feelings, his fears, and his responsibilities. He’s lost the biggest protection he had in the world: his father the king, whose place he’ll now need to take. It’s a double whammy of loss and danger. But he pulled himself together again and came back stronger than he’d been. Ezran will be a good king.
What’ll be interesting is seeing who else has breaking points in S3. Some people may get another one. Some may have their first. Others may not break at all.

Fic: Everything Money Can Buy (8/12)
Summary: The Greatest Store in the World AU. When misfortune strikes and leaves Emma Swan and her son homeless just before Christmas, the ever-resourceful Emma has a ready solution. They’ll move into Mills Department Store, a place they can only dream of affording to buy from. It’s not easy, having to deal with a perpetually grumpy doorman, a nasty assistant manager, and an extremely suspect Santa, but Emma and Henry soon learn that the kindness of strangers is something money can’t buy.
Swan Believer centric, with eventual Swan Queen and background Rumbelle and Dwarf Star.

It was Christmas Eve, and despite everything, Henry was feeling rather upbeat about it. They had snuck out of Mills with the cleaners like normal, and they had spent most of the rest of the day walking around town trying to keep warm, holing up in the library when it got too cold to stay outside. 
Unfortunately, the library was closing early due to it being Christmas Eve, and so they had come back to the slightly less well-stocked and slightly more upmarket library that was the Mills book department. Gold hadn't said anything as he'd let them in, but at least he hadn't stopped them. Maybe because he hadn't seen them leave in the morning, he could claim some kind of plausible deniability for himself.
Mum had gone to check on the bags, and Henry was sitting in his usual armchair, tucked away behind a pillar, hidden from the view of the cash desk by a strategically placed display of Harry Potter merchandise. The display had not been strategically placed there when Henry had first started hanging around in the department, but he had moved it by inches with no one noticing and now he had quite the cosy hideaway.
"Pst!"
Apparently, not quite hidden away enough. Cautiously, Henry looked over the top of his book to see Astrid from the tearoom peeping around the Harry Potter merchandise. She smiled at him and squeezed past the display, catching the life-size sorting hat as it toppled precariously from its perch.
"I thought I might find you here; I've seen you here a couple of times."
Henry didn't say anything, very much wishing that Mum would come back from the camping section in the nick of time and rescue him from whatever predicament was about to unfold. Although, then again... He thought of the past couple of evenings, of the sell-by food packed away separately in the fridge ready for them so that they wouldn't have to hunt for it, the very splattered chocolate cake.
"Leroy and I clubbed together and used our staff discount to get you some things." She handed him a small carrier bag from the food hall. "Stuff that's got really long sell-by dates that you wouldn't get to have ordinarily. You know, since it's Christmas tomorrow and all."
Henry looked inside the bag. There was a Christmas pudding, a bag of candied nuts, a pack of Christmas cake slices, and a single serving bottle of mulled wine along with a selection of confectionary.
"There are also instructions on how to work the microwave without blowing out the plug," Astrid added helpfully. "They're on the back of the receipt. I know it's bad form to include receipts, but I didn't want you to be accused of pinching it."
Henry just stared at the gift for a long time, completely unsure of what to say. He and Mum had relied on the goodwill of strangers in the past, but this was the first time he could remember that something had been given to him completely unbidden and out of the blue like this. Astrid was about to squeeze back out past the sorting hat (it was a good job that it was supposed to look battered) when he realised that he hadn't actually said anything to her, least of all expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you," he blurted out. "And thank Leroy too."
Astrid smiled. "You're welcome. I think everyone deserves to have nice things at Christmas."
"How did you know?" Henry asked. "About us, I mean."
"Well, I knew that someone had been taking the sell-by food overnight, because you saved me a job sorting it and clearing it out in the morning. And I knew that I hadn't broken the microwave and it had been working perfectly fine when I went home, so someone else must have broken it between me going home and me coming back in the morning."
"Yeah, sorry about that."
"It's ok." Astrid waved away his worries. "Leroy's a master with a screwdriver, he had it back up and running again in no time. And everyone's so used to everything going wrong around me that it wasn't exactly unexpected. Breaking the microwave is really quite minor compared with some of my other kitchen-based mishaps."
Henry laughed. "I'm sorry you got the blame though."
Astrid shrugged. "My shoulders are broad. Have a great Christmas."
"Thanks. I'm sure we will. How... How did you know that it was me? Out of all the people in the store?"
Well, that took a bit of detective work. Leroy and I figured out that someone must be staying in the store overnight, and we voiced our theory to Belle, what with her seeing everyone coming and going. I mean, I would have asked Gold because he really sees everyone coming and going, but he scares me witless. Anyway, Belle confirmed it and said that it was you. Like I said, we've seen you around here a lot in the last few days. No one spends that much time in a department store not buying anything."
Henry was slightly worried as to how many other people had noticed them. At least the sphere of people who knew for certain seemed to be limited to Belle, Gold, Astrid, and Leroy, all of whom he was fairly sure that he could trust not to betray their secret to someone with less benign intentions.
"Henry?"
Mum was back, peering around the display where Astrid was blocking her way. The waitress gave a cheerful wave and squeezed back out.
"Merry Christmas!"
Mum stared at her retreating back for a long time, then she looked at Henry, then back towards Astrid, who had long since vanished into the crowd, up towards the tearoom again.
"Have I wandered into a parallel universe?" She came into Henry's cubby hole, settling herself down on the floor in front of him and taking a look in the carrier bag. "God, I haven't had mulled wine for years. What's going on?"
Henry regaled Astrid's tale, not entirely sure that he wasn't in a parallel universe himself. For a long time, Mum didn't speak.
"I suppose that it just goes to show that there are good people in the world after all," she said eventually. "I've always been sceptical of the idea of the kindness of strangers. I guess that you and I have seen so little of it over the years that I just thought it didn't exist. You never get something for nothing; people always want something in exchange for their help. But Astrid, Leroy, Belle, Gold... They've all helped us out, in their own ways, and expected nothing in return."
"Maybe it's the Christmas spirit," Henry suggested.
Mum gave a huff of laughter. "Yeah, maybe you're right. It's almost a shame it's so close to closing time. We could have gone out again and shown Gold that we actually have a Mills bag this time. I'm not sure whether it would make him laugh or send him into apoplexy."
"I hope not apoplexy." Henry had no idea what apoplexy was, but it sounded painful, and since Gold had already proved himself trustworthy with their secret, he didn't really want anything too bad to happen to him.
Mum smiled. “Yeah, it’s Christmas. We shouldn’t really wish anything bad on anyone. And I don’t think Gold’s as bad as I make him out to be most of the time.” She paused, getting comfortable leaning against the armchair before looking back up at Henry. “He told me that he had a son your age, actually, so he probably doesn’t want to ruin your Christmas.”
“Huh.” It was strange to think of Gold as having a life and a family outside of the store. It had been weird enough seeing him in a Christmas jumper on that first morning when they were sneaking out.
He wondered if Gold’s son knew about the little romance between Gold and Belle, and what he thought of it. Henry personally thought that it was rather sweet, but then again, it wasn’t his dad. He leaned back in his chair, wondering about Mum and the dark-haired woman from the staircase. He was definitely rooting for that romance, whoever the mysterious stranger turned out to be.

Belle was in a quandary, and she was also in a hurry. It was only ten minutes before the cash desks closed and the food hall was already beginning to wind down for the night with fresh produce being packed away back to the central chillers. It wasn’t her fault that she had left her Christmas shopping so late. Well, it wasn’t exactly her fault. She had indeed left it until the last possible day, but she hadn’t intended to leave it till the last possible moment. She’d intended to buy on her lunch break, but things being as they stood, she hadn’t had one. It had been all she could do to persuade Zelena to let her off the desk twenty minutes before her time, because she’d spent her entire lunch break politely telling a customer that no, her Christmas hamper order was not ready for collection, because all hamper orders had to be placed before the nineteenth of December in order to guarantee collection by Christmas Eve, and since this customer had only placed her order yesterday, naturally, the hamper was not ready.
How it had taken over half an hour for her to get this into the woman’s skull was beyond Belle, but hey, unbelievable customers were all part and parcel of the Christmas experience.
Anyway, she had ten minutes left to buy, and she was stumped. At least it was only one gift. Indeed, it was rather a spur of the moment decision to buy it in the first place, which was why everything had been so rushed.
She’d decided to get Alistair something. Nothing big, nothing ostentatious, just a little something to remind him that no matter how bleak his Christmas might look, what with his son being away with his mother again, there was still someone who cared for him and wanted to make sure that his day had a little cheer in it.
“I recommend the caramel, personally.”
Belle looked down to see the little boy who was living in the store standing next to her. His mum was a few metres away, looking at a display of Turkish delight. She was carrying a small food hall carrier bag, and Belle smiled, glad that Astrid and Leroy’s gift had reached its intended recipients. The boy was looking at the rows of chocolate bars with the eye of a practised connoisseur, and he beamed at her beatifically.
“I love caramel,” Belle admitted. “The thing is, I’m not buying it for me.”
“Mr Gold?” the boy suggested. There was something distinctly mischievous in his eyes, but it was softened by a sparkle of genuine hope.
“I… What… How did you…” Belle’s shoulders sagged. “Yes.”
“Hmm. He strikes me more as a peppermint person.” The boy reached up for the peppermint bar in its shining turquoise and silver wrapper, but he couldn’t quite reach. Belle grabbed it.
“Yes, I think you’re right. I know he drinks peppermint tea; I’ve smelled it in the flask he keeps behind the customer service desk.”
Her companion gave an emphatic nod. “You know, I think I could be a personal shopper. That’s what they do, isn’t it? Tell you what to buy?”
Belle laughed at the summation. “Pretty much. Thanks for the suggestion, kid.”
“My name’s Henry.” He held out a hand solemnly, and Belle shook it.
“I’m Belle.”
“I know. It’s on your name tag.” Henry looked around the food hall. “Who’s that lady over there?” he asked. “We’ve seen her around a few times, but she never wears a name tag.”
Belle followed his sightline, but before he could point out the person in question, the five-minute warning came over the PA system and she had to rush to the checkout to pay for Alistair’s gift. By the time she returned to the confectionary section, Henry and his mother had both disappeared, no doubt slipping away to find a place to hide whilst the store closed down. Belle felt her stomach flip-flop in her mouth.
She should have warned them about the party.

She’s So High: Chapter 8
Summary: 90’s karaoke and your snarky wit seem to have revived the charming side of one Bucky Barnes. Everything comes full circle the morning after. Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Female Reader Warning(s): Smut 18+. Swearing. Kissing, Fingering (female), Oral Sex (female receiving), Vaginal Sex, Unprotected Sex. Word Count: 1,996 Notes: Idea was inspired by this 90′s playlist. This chapter was beta read by the lovely @viktordrago. You all go thank her cause without her there would have been A TON of really laughable errors. Shout out to @stanclub for giving me some insight re: Steve and hair gel haha. Thank you so much to everyone for their likes and reblogs thus far. First series is done and in the bag! Anyone who left comments has literally melted my heart. I love you all Smut Note: ***DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, INTERACT WITH MY WORK IF YOU’RE NOT 18+*** It goes without saying, unprotected sex….please make sure your partners are clean and you use an agreed upon form of protection (if relevant).
You’re taken aback by the bright wash of sunshine flooding the room as your eyes flutter open. A room that is clearly not your room. Your half-awake brain remembers the events of last night sluggishly. This is Bucky’s bed… which would explain the large arm draped across your middle.
You savor the warmth from the sunlight spilling across the bed coupled with the warmth radiating from his body next to you. The soft sheets caress your naked skin as you stretch your muscles; careful not to wake Bucky.
You study his face. All the tension it normally holds during the waking hours is absent. His hair is strewn across his pillow. His limbs, all but the one anchoring you to him, seem to be splayed in every direction. You crane your neck to see the clock.
“Fuck.” You allow another five minutes to enjoy the proximity with the man besides you before carefully sliding under his arm.
You curse once more for sleeping in this late but allow it remembering fondly why you were so exhausted. Bucky had woken you up throughout the night. The first time he had ground gently against your backside. He nearly came from the wanton whines that permeated your dreams. When you stirred awake, he slid into you from behind; relishing in how soaked you had been for him.
The second time you had protested a bit, citing lack of sleep. Not easily deterred, his mouth worked your breasts with lavish kisses. All complaints died on your tongue when his head disappeared under the covers with his apology of “just once more for me, darlin’?” You could have sworn you heard a series of knocks clearly coming from the room next door. All worry dissipated as Bucky tongue fucked you through not one but two more orgasms.
The third time was entirely your “fault”. You had woken with your throat parched. Returning from the bathroom with a glass of water, you noticed a tempting tent in the sheets. Thinking you’d have the element of surprise, you were certainly shocked (though not complaining), when things ended with you bent over the side of the bed with Bucky’s cock pounding you into the mattress.
You smirk at the memories, attempting to find your clothing from the night before. Quickly giving up, you opt for Bucky’s flannel as a dressing gown. You’d be able to start breakfast in privacy and come back in normal clothes once the team was awake. Which would be soon if you didn’t hurry; you thought stealing a final glance back at Bucky’s sleeping form.
You’d settled on a batch of breakfast quiches for the team. You press play on your favorite playlist letting it provide a pleasant background soundtrack. Once the egg mixture was ready, you could throw it in the oven and probably catch another half hour of lazy morning cuddles with Bucky.
All the vegetables were chopped and ready for the filling. The only problem was you couldn’t remember the ratio of cream to egg. Pulling open the cabinets you see the cookbook you need propped on one of the top shelves. Clearly someone else had used it last. You would never have put it so out of reach. You stand on your tip toes and attempt to swat it down from its elevated prison.
You must have been engrossed in getting the cookbook down because Bucky is able to silently creep into the kitchen. He enjoys watching you struggle; finding your little frustrated cursing adorable.
You see the cookbook teetering, almost within reach, when a pair of hands land on your hips. You freeze but relax once you smell the familiar scent of him behind you. His head drops on your shoulder for a quick kiss behind your ear; hands dipping under the hemline of the flannel.
“You skippin’ out on me, dollface?” He mumbles into your skin.
“I needed to get breakfast in the oven before everyone is up. I was gonna hop back in bed with you while it bakes.” You resume your struggle to get the cookbook down as Bucky chuckles at you. “Would you quit laughing at me?! I need this cookbook. I can’t remember the ratiooooohh-”
Your reply turns to a moan. One of his hands detaches itself from its place on your hip, effortlessly grabs the cookbook, and tosses it on the island behind you; the other is occupied ever so softly stroking small circles into your clit. You collapse back down off your tip toes and let your weight fall back into his chest.
“Doll, you can’t go around stealing my shirts and making them look ten times sexier than I ever could.” His voice seems entirely unaffected but the sudden shift in mood. “I’m incredibly insecure and you’re showing me up.”
You can hear the smile in his words even if you weren’t feeling it in his lips which are now sloppily and lazily kissing up your neck. You sigh deeply enjoying the teasing sensations he’s sending through your body.
“Buck-” you whine gently, remembering where you are. “Someone is gonna hear us.”
He pulls back from you to quickly jab at the volume button; increasing the music so others don’t hear you. “Then you better be quiet, sweetheart.”
Needing to see his eyes, you turn around to face him. His hair is mussed. It looks like he’s thrown on the same black jeans from the night before. They hang obscenely low on his hips unbuttoned. He’s deliciously shirtless.  Warmth from the bedroom still clings to his skin.
“I distinctly remember a grumpy old man yelling at me for too loud of music this early in the morning.”
The pressure on your clit relents only to feel a digit slide into your core slowly, his thumb takes up the circles on your clit.
“Come back to bed darlin’. Sleeping in isn’t as fun without you there.”
“I have to make breakfast-” Your reply is choked off by a particularly strong wave of pleasure as his finger pushes pressure onto your g-spot. You open your eyes only to see a perfectly smug and unbothered face. If you didn’t feel his motions deep inside your now pulsing cunt, you would have guessed he was almost bored.
You try again to defend your actions, “Everyone will go hungry if-”
With his eyes locked on yours he adds a second finger into you. “Fuck.” He cocks his head to the side slightly and gives you his best shit eating grin.
“You were saying?”
“I’m out of excuses.” You mold your lips to his, giving into the pleasurable sensations. You attempt to walk him backwards out of the kitchen towards the bedroom.
“Nuh uh,” he says with his mouth now sucking deep hickeys into your collar bone. “Wanna see you cum right here.”
You want to protest but the clench of your walls around his fingers betrays you before you can get a word out. You pant small breathy moans into his shoulder as he brings his lips to your ears.
“That’s it, darlin’. I can tell that turns you on.” You suppress another low moan and it comes out more of a whimper. “Knowin’ anyone could walk in… see you becoming a panting little mess stuffed with my fingers.”
At this point, you’re relying completely on Bucky for support; your legs have gone to Jell-O. “I can tell you’re close, doll. I feel you fluttering around me.”
The stretch and glide of Bucky’s fingers have you forgetting about the residual soreness. You bite your bottom lip; hoping it will keep you quiet enough. You’re ready to let go with your release-
“What the fuck, Barnes!” You whine angrily. His hand had abandoned your cunt right at the crucial moment. He’s pushed far away from you. Before you realize what’s happening, he’s plopped in one of the bar stools at the island casually flipping through the cookbook that had seconds before been abandoned.
You’re ready to beat the shit out of him but Tony and Steve round the corner. They’re deep in conversation and don’t look at either of you. Your eyes meet Bucky’s and they glint playfully. Your gaze moves to his hand holding the cookbook. Two of the fingers are obviously coated in your slick. Noticing your gaze, he moves the finger up to his mouth and licks it clean. You let out an uncontrolled gasp only to draw attention of Steve and Tony.
“You okay there, Y/N/N?” Tony says. You pry your eyes away from Bucky’s face you manage a nod. You refuse to look back at him, knowing full well he’s got the largest shit eating grin plastered on his face.
“What’s for breakfast? You need any help?” Steve asks. He moves to your side of the island; observing the slew of ingredients which sit deserted.
“Hold the phone… Y/N, where are your pants?” Tony interrupts. “I’m not objecting to the view. Just curious as to-”
There’s an uncomfortably long pause as Tony’s face flickers through a vast array of expressions. You and Bucky are frozen simply hoping he’s attempting to formulate some crude joke.
“Ahhhhh. Got it.”
“Got what?” Steve asks. Tony tuts and smiles like fox in the hen house. “GOT WHAT?! Steve yells more insistently looking at the two of you for some help.
“Tin Man and Y/N. That’s why they didn’t come back. It would appear they sang a little duet of their own last night.” He waggles his eyebrows daring you to refute him.
Steve’s face is a mask of confusion as he attempts to decode Tony’s statement. You and Bucky share glances back and forth debating your next point of action. You’re thinking of running for it but at this point the entire team has filed into the dining room and kitchen.
Steve’s face switches to one of epiphany as Bucky points a warning finger at Tony. Stark simply smirks, paying no mind to the threatening finger.
Rolling your eyes and deciding to intervene before you see how expertly Bucky decides to keep Tony silent; you gently grab his arm and kiss the tip of his finger lowering it back to his side.
“It’s fine, Buck. They’ll figure it out eventually”.
“Or literally as it’s happening.” Natasha yells from the kitchen. “I share a wall with you Barnes… just saying!”
“I’m now taking music requests and breakfast orders. Anyone who feels the need to comment on my activities last night won’t be eating!” You quickly decide to put an end to that conversation. A chorus of “okay okay” greet your ears. “That's what I thought.”
Everyone dissolves into their own morning conversations. You turn back to the food in front of you wondering if now it would be best to switch to omelets.
“Y/N/N.” Bucky wraps his arms around your waist, and you’re pulled into his little bubble. You wonder if his effect would ever wear off. You thoroughly hope it doesn’t.
In the background you hear, Steve describing how long it took to get all the gel out of his hair last night. Nat’s livid about getting her curling wand back covered in gel.
“You best hope it’s gel!” Sam shouts further antagonizing her. You chuckle slightly at your misfit family before giving Bucky your full attention once more.
“Doll, I wasn’t trying to keep us secret for any malicious reason. I hope you know that.” His expression is soft and hesitant. “I just wanted you to have your privacy. We hadn’t really discussed telling the team, yet.”
You kiss him once on the lips and again on his nose. “I know, Buck. Now, go grab the cookbook and help me feed the ungrateful goons.” You can’t help but adore how much Bucky’s beaming.
“You’re on bacon duty.”
“Babe! I’m shirtless. Gonna get little bacon burns everywhere.”
“Well if someone wasn’t so picky about his bacon crispiness…” you say with a wink.

Mystic Messenger : Day 9 ~ V Walkthrough (FULL ANSWERS)
I worked all alone - I cheked each answers ~ Please be considerate.
Like, reblog, or do nothing, but please don’t copy/paste it and claim it as your own… I am on my own and spent a lot of time to do this.
If you are on phone, please setting the page to be seen in the computer version! On the phone, the answers are sometimes unaligned and it can confuse you…
In order to not bother and annoy my followers who don’t play this game by this looong post, I’ll put a seperate line. Click to see.
- Don't be aggressive and insulting and stuff like that (oh you might get upset in the VN when you are with V and Vanderwood though XD) - Don’t act like you possess V
- Game branches at the end

 I don’t want to think about that. (V…)
Feels very afar… (V)
Something disastrous will happen if you can’t control the darkness within you, Rika. (V)
What are you up to now? (V)
Of course. V will be with me from now on.  (V…)
I think it was a realization essential for V. It’s not something that derived from fear. It’s something that he needed for himself. (V)
That’s more natural to me (V)
I’m not on any side. (nothing)
Whichever it is… I don’t care. AS long as V comes to me. (V…)

Idyllic… I understand what you mean. (Unknown)
Sounds unrealistic to me. (V…)
I’ll…choose the RFA. (V)
Mint Eye may be right for me… (Unknown)
I’m confused! (nothing)
I’ll… wait for the sun. (V)

God, isnt there just a way to commit suicide quickly and painlessly without a gun? I dont own a gun and dont wanna look like a freakshow. I dont have a rope. None of my meds can I overdose on.
Look. Im tired. Im tired. Im tired of the lazy fuck i am. Im useless. I deserve to die. Even mom says it in subtext. She thinks i wont do it im just lying, to get out of stuff i dont wanna do. And shes right.
Shes a huge manipulative bitch and dangles my favorite person on a string to make me dance and i cant im paranoid around her. I never know what ill lose next or when. I cant live on anymore anyway and its all downhill from here
I cant go to school. I cant work but i have to. Cant even try to start either
Its my fault and my mom will die because im useless so if she will i might as well go too.
I cant drive i have autophobia.
MDD GAD Bipolar ADHD... more than mom has...
Every scream. Every fucking brain bottle i repressed. Every panic attack. Every cut. Every sobbing fit. But i cant say anything. So what? Rely on everyone else? My fiancee who cant handle it either? Im stuck here. Im her new mother, im her new disability check, im here to die. Even if i escaped at best id still want to die.
Final countdown. Go fuck yourself. You know who you are. And once im over my fear of the afterlife of suicide, gonna be me central. For once maybe ill get taken seriously or not ignored or all avoiding the problem of mine.
And ill be the main event, that day. Cry your eyes out then after you fucked it up. Oh no! Who will enable you and be your personal beat-em-up now?
You couldve taken me to the doctor when i obsessively wrote lists since age 3, and before i could write made my parents. I mean, it's normal a 18yr old would panic over not making a list of fruit types, right? Or when i hid and almost broke my bones to hide from my panic attacks at 7 and self harm at 9 and daily meltdowns after school from overstim. But you thought i was just a bad kid. Obsessive since infancy on a hyperfocus ride, never making friends, ruining friendships on accident. My emotions have no correlation to events but i can count on anxiety at least. Maybe you shouldve screamed or fought or blamed or scared or abandoned or manipulated or used or betrayed or forgotten or neglected or bullied or self-inserted or hurt me a little less.
Edit here. I guess i should say here that this a childish fucking rant. Please dont send in the military. Itll only make it worse.

Conversation
broken promise
Alex: I'm not proud of you.
I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. To hear that from the person you love most in life, she tore right thru me.
I've been with Alex for 6 years and she's the love of my life but there has been few occasions (5 she's been counting), where I have made her feel insecure, unhappy... I've made her feel like shit. She doesn't trust me. Before I say anymore, let me take you way back where this started.
Alex and I met in high school. It was a new school where I had no friends but two cousins Steph and Miguel. Thank God for them if not high school would of been a really dark place. Miguel and I were the new kids in school oh and a couple hundred since 2006 is where all California decided to more to Texas.
Steph already had been there and had a few friends and one of those friends was Alex. From an outsieders view Alex seems to be one of those girls that liked you if you were convenient, if not she would pay no mind. After getting not know her, I found out that she came from a family with great morals, someone who treats people like she wants to be treated and feel respect. We stayed friends all thru high school. I started noticing her differently after that. I developed felling along the way. Certain thing she would do I became in love with. For example, she's a pusher but in a good way, she pushes people to do their best. She's the type to cheer at a pool table game, even if you made the eight ball when your not suppose to. She's the most confident person, she goes into situation that are new to her with no doubt and if their is fear, i've never seen it. Never in a million year would i think this girl and I would be more than friends. I don't know how she decided to be mine but she is.
I have had this friend since high school, Celia. When Alex and I became boo's, Alex became insterested in knowing Celia. They both became friends and everything was great, if Alex and I were planning to go out or do something, we decided to invite her. Not that she tagged along all the time but everyone was good. The first year of our relationship I didn't know how to express emotions all that well, Alex and I called it quits. It was my first real relationship, even though Alex says it wasn't that serious, I cried like a lil' bitch that night.
Celia being a friend, she would be there. She would be the person i would vent to about everything that was happening. A few weeks passed and on of my cousin's, Miguel, would be turning 22 and decided to celebrate this birthday at this bar called SoHo in the middle of downtown San Antonio. I asked Celia if she wanted to drive together since she was invited too. The truth was, that asked for her to go with me because I knew Alex was going to be there.
Celia and I were one of the first ones there, we waited for everyone to get there. We sat on a table that faced the bar but you were able see the coming in. I saw her walking by, Celia and I both said "Hey Alex!" Nothing, not even a glance at our direction. Celia and I said to each other, "Fuck it, lets just have a good time." And we did. Celia was always there and so was I. She was a little boy crazy. If she was feeling down, I was there to cheer her up because she was there for me.
A few months after that, Miguel was graduating for community college and he wanted our group of friends (which pushed me aside for Alex) to have dinner at Piranha. Celia wasn't invited because her ex-boyfirend was dating a new girl and well Miggs (Miguel) is a no beef type of guy. I was sitting next to Kurk and Ed, which was Celia's ex boyfriend. He started talking about the Air Force since he had enrolled a few years back and hadn't seen him in a while. The door opens and I hear her laugh. I could feel peoples eye looking my way. I grab my drink and i sip my gin and tonic because that's what Colin Firth and Julianne Moore drank in, A Single Man, one of my favorite movies.
Still talking to Ed and Kurk, I'm eavesdropping on Alex's conversation with the group. She just flew in from Tempe, Arizona where she was working as a trainer for a call center for JP Morgan Chase. I looked up and said the first thing that came to mind, "How's the weather over there?"
She relied, "It was good, it's usually pretty cold."
We continue to talk asking each other how we've been... small talk. After everyone was caught up with each others lives and done with eating, Miggs, decides we should all go to Bar Louie to continue the celebration.
Some of us got there before others, Miggs and Johnny and I were the first ones there. They both say to me, "That went well." I reply, "What do you mean?" They continue, "You and Alex." I looked confused "What were we supposed to do, fight with each other, cause a scene? I don't think we're that type of people." Miggs and Johnny get closer "We're just happy everyone is getting along. It's been hard since you and Alex have slit. Sometimes we're not sure if we should invite you or her or both of you guys to things." I get louder. "Is that why I haven't been invited to go out with you asshole!?!" Both of them, "Yes! It's been hard, you guys left us in an uncomfortable spot."
Alex gets there about ten minutes after we did, we all get drinks and it feels less tense. Everyones laughing and telling stories of all the things we've done together. The times we've gone on our mini rode trips, the many wild nights at The House of Scum. The House of Scum was the home of Ed, Johnny and Miggs. They were in their early 20's and i think Ed was 19, you can only imagine what's happened there. No rules and no fucks given, good times.
The more and more Alex and I spoke, I knew I never stop loving her. Her laughter, her smell, the way she looks at you when you got her undivided attention. She makes you feel calm even if your in a bar full of people and a DJ blasting music. I knew she was the one. And that night was the night I was going to confront Alex. I knew I still had feelings for her and I didn't know if she had any feeling for me anymore but I was going to get her alone so we could talk. I leaned in and asked her is we could go somewhere we could talk. "Okay," that's was she said.
We walked out of the bar and she locked arms with me. Thinking to myself, "I might still have a chance." It was too cold to stay outside. We went to the nearest car with was her truck. She put the heater, we talk about how our year had gone, we both did a little bit of traveling which was our new obsession. I've always gone to Mexico to visit family but that year my brother and I had gone to Mexico by ourselves where we didn't know anyone and it was a life changing experience. She had traveled too and she told me she went to New York City and I was instantly jealous. I've always wanting to got to NYC and never did and here she knew how much I wanted to go. I had so many questions for her. After a few minutes I asked, "Why did it take so long to talk to each other?" asking her while rubbing my hand together to keep warm. "We've been busy." her looking outside into the lights of the parking lot. "Sure but we've always been busy and that never stopped us before." She smiled and said, "You talk more." I looked confused and said, "Really, should I shut up now?" With a half laugh she said,"No, I like it." I asked, "Why did we even brake up?" She took a moment and said, "We broke up because you didn't talk about much, I didn't know how you felt about things. If you were happy or if you were upset. I was talking to myself sometimes." "I didn't want to argue of get upset at things that don't feel worth getting mad over. I just rather enjoy our time together when we were together." "You would only talk about how you and Celia went to this place, how you did this or that. If you would get upset you would vent to her. Where was I in all of this? It would never be me." "I guess I never noticed until now." Her, still looking at the lights,"That's why..." "Why did you ever tell me?" "I'm not going to tell you how to do things. You're suppose to make your own choices. Plus, I'm not going to ask you to loose a friend." "That's it though, she's just a friend and good friend. Everyone else took to your side, I didn't even know there was sides and fucking left me. The only person that stayed was her." She looked at me, "I'm sorry, I guess thats my fault. When anyone mentioned you, I didn't want to hear about you." "If you would of told me how you felt things would have gone differently." It was silent.
"Do you remember Miguel's birthday?" she asked. "Of course I do. I said hi and nothing." I look at her with a frown. She continues,"I had all the intention for us to talk but who was there right next to you? Her."
"I never knew you felt that way," while holding her hand
"Well know you know." Her hand were warm like they always been. Mine were like popsicles, cold.
She got a phone call. She say, "I'm going with a co-workers party and Miggs is going with me but i want to see you tonight."
"Okay. What time?" I asked.
"I'm not sure, its a bit of a drive. I'll call you when I'm leaving the party. Stay up?" She asked with smile.
"Alright, I'll see you tonight." I told her.
A few hours passed and I get her text, "Are you up?"
I reply with a simple,"yup". I pull up to her drive way and see her in her car with. I get out of my car and knock at her window and she looked startled. She opens the car door and I whisper to her, "Why are you outside?" She whispers back, "Everyone's asleep and I don't want to wake them" We get into my back seat of the car. The stay up talking and in silence. She leans on my shoulder and says, "I missed you." I tuck her hair behind her ear and touch her face and say, "I missed us."
Since then, we've been together and that's been since 2012
The issue now is that I've betrayed my baby's trust. I've lied or kept where I've been going. While writing this i realized thats been an issue since we've broken up the first time. I've never cheated on Alex nor has that ever been an issue. There's nothing in this world more that I love than my Alex. I've always thought that i would do for her but I've failed. I'm willing to do anything to get her trust back. And it's hard to just tearing someone from your life but its harder for Alex to be torn by the person you love. I'm willing to sacrifice a friendship that hurts the person that I love. And I hope she can forgive me.
I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry, I stabbed you in the back when you weren't looking. I don't want to make up words and just say sorry because i've said them before. I broken the promise i made to you, i promised to never fail you, to follow you where ever you go. i'm sorry baby.
