Tumblr media
“You should see me in the ring tonight” You were met with a pair of brown eyes when you snapped your head up.
Jongho stood in front of you, looking down as he slips you a slim piece of paper, presumably an address of some sort. You let your pen fall onto your book as you eye the piece of paper on your table.
“Give me one reason why I should go” You cross your arms, leaning forward against your table as you stare back at the boy.
“Jungkook will be there” Jongho smirks, hands now planted on your table, leaning down to your level.
“I don’t see how that’s a valid reason for me to go” Your brows furrowed in response to Jongho.
“Don’t you want to see your ex get beaten to a pulp?” He wasn’t wrong with that. 
There was one thing you hated more than Jungkook himself, it was Jungkook walking around with his cocky smile, baiting girls in just to play with their heart like another one of his sports. Unfortunately, you were his first victim since he entered the school.
You were a fool to believe he had loved you, and an even bigger fool to fall in love with him. Since then, you’ve tried to avoid him, but he always found a way to have you find yourself standing in front of him once again, falling for his senseless sweet talk that would unsurprisingly lead you through an event of another heart-aching encounter. 
“How do I know it won’t be you getting beaten to a pulp?” You’ve seen the swoon-worthy biceps of both boys, needless to say, you’ve seen them in action before, not against each other though. Tonight would be the first time, also another convincing imagery to have you show up.
“Jungkook may be older but I’ve been in this shit longer than he has. I know things he doesn’t. Don’t question my abilities” Jongho’s lips carve into a small smirk as he tilts his head to the side.
“Alright, fine. I’ll be there” You shut close your book and packed away your belongings into your bag as Jongho leans back up, crossing his arms over his chest. 
“I’m looking forward to seeing you then” Jongho takes off with a wink, leaving you to read the slip of paper once again before making your own way out of the library.
It wasn’t every day you spoke you Choi Jongho, he was simply a boy with the same objectives who, conveniently, happens to be your lab partner too. The two of you didn’t get off on the right foot, his rival being your boyfriend of course. 
But that all changed when the entire school’s phones had a copy of Jungkook in bed with a girl who was not you. Since then, Jongho’s been nothing but a near friend once he’s realized how heart-broken you were. 
The two of you settled aside your differences and turned them into kindred traits, a vendetta against his arch-nemesis and your ex-boyfriend. Which got to where you are now, attending an illegal underground boxing match just to watch the face you fell for getting beaten in a way you dreamed of imagining.
Tumblr media
It seemed like an endless passageway filled with nothing but darkness and cold air, leading you to a parade growing louder and louder with chants. The sound of your sharp breaths echoed off the concrete walls, soft platter of water as your feet hit the damp floor with each step bringing you closer to the violent event.
“... Jongho! Jongho! Jongho!...” 
It would be generic to say you had seen the light at the end of the tunnel, but that’s exactly what you saw. The lights hanging above the ring dimly lit barely the rest of the room, making its priority the contents inside the ring below it. 
Arms and fists pumped the air as ear-bursting yells bounce off the walls. It was filled with raging energy as you watch from the isolated corner occupied with very few bystanders. From here you could see the leveled ring, two large figures preying each other dead in the eye, swinging blows left and right. 
“... Jungkook! Jungkook! Jungkook!...”
There he was, wearing that cocky smile of his, the same cocky smile that got you and who knows how many other girls on their knees. It was the smile you wanted to see get knocked off, literally. 
“Place your bet or get out” Your thoughts were interrupted by a deep voice beside you. 
A large bald man towers over you as you turn around to face his cold-emotionless face. Behind him were smaller men immersed in the stacks of crimpled cash, slipping back and forth between their hands as they count them. 
“A hundred and fifty bucks on Choi” You wipe out the bundled cash from the pocket of your leather jacket, carefully taking out the amount from its elastic hold for placing it in the hands of the bald man.
It was a difficult attempt, pushing past all the sticky bodies to gain a better closer view at the front rather than squinting in the corner you were just in. Your eyes slightly stung at the sudden brightness at the front of the ring, but now you could see clearer. 
Pure concentration was evident on Jongho’s face as his brows furrow deeply, eyes piercing through his opponent. It was the sudden hard blow to his face that made you wince back, hissing even though you weren’t the one socked. 
Jongho stumbled back a bit before quickly throwing a right arm, knocking Jungkook’s head to the side before throwing more consecutive punches to his body, pushing him back against the ropes of the ring. It was then you realized how feral this semi-quiet boy was. It was quite shocking to see the other side of these two boys on a night like this in a ring painted with their blood punched out of their faces.
“... finish him!...” 
Jongho’s eyes remain piercing, that was until he conveniently spotted you below, watching him. It was that split eye contact that costed him, Jungkook took the advantage to throw a hard blow right to his face, making Jongho stumble back, falling onto his side as Jungkook pounces on him, throwing hard left and rights onto his cowering body before getting pulled off by the ref. 
“And the winner is Jeon ‘Buckshot’ Jungkook!” 
There was also another thing you hated more than his cocky smile, it was his cocky smirk. Jungkook happens to also conveniently spot you by the ringside, glaring at him with a clenched jaw, making him throw a snarky wink as his arm held high for victory. 
“Fucking prick” You mutter under your breath before turning your attention to Jongho, slipping under the rope being thrown displeasing words from the crowd for butchering it the last minute. 
Series of chants boomed through your ear as you brush past the bodies, easier than before as they pile into the dark tunnel you entered from. You were left with a few people in the now empty room, most of them you recognized from the isolated corner and the cash handlers by the table. 
“...Here’s the betted cash, take it and leave...” The men hands over a locked box, probably filled with cash, over to the other group of men. There you saw him, Jungkook dabbing his sweat with his towel.
“Oh, so you came just to see me win? Can’t get enough of me, can you?” Jungkook strides closer to you after locking eyes. 
“Fuck you”
“Already did, sweetheart” Jungkook shot a wink before dipping into the dark tunnel followed by the other group of men.
You didn’t know your anger had turned to pain until you felt your palm stinging, looking down you could see your nails carving crescent shapes into your palm from your tight fists. 
“Hey” Your head snapped back to the front, where Jongho was standing with a towel hung across the back of his neck.
“You owe me a hundred and fifty dollars, loser” You cross your arms over your chest, mentally scolding him in your head for losing your money.
“Well, I didn’t think you’d actually come” Jongho forces a quiet chuckle before scratching his head.
“I did, and you lost. What happened to ‘don’t question my abilities’?” You mocked him from before, gently waving your hands in the air for emphasis.
“Just because I lost this round doesn’t mean you should still question my abilities” Jongho turns around, walking away to another room.
You couldn’t help but follow him quickly behind, seeing the cuts on his face struck worry in you. Following Jongho, you found yourself entering a brighter lit room, a locker room. 
Jongho sat on the bench, unwrapping the bandages from his knuckles. You close the door behind you and step forward, leg on either side of the bench next to him.
“You need to treat that, you know?” You point to the small gash fixated at the top of his eye.
“I’ll be fine” Jongho continued to unwrap the bandages as you scanned his face. His tan really accentuated under the coat of sweat and blood, face now relaxed compared to before.
“It could get infected. Those are worse than the actual cut itself” Jongho stopped, dropping his hands on the bench before looking up at you.
“Can you get the first-aid? It’s in there” Jongho points to the mirrored cabinet above the sink.
“Not even a ‘please’?” You tease slightly, pushing yourself off the bench to the sink.
“Please” 
You chuckle, opening the cabinet to take out the kit before making your way back onto the bench. Jongho was now seated the same way you were before, legs either side of the bench and bandages were now thrown on the floor. 
“Thank you-”
“I’ll do it” You interrupt Jongho and sit down in front of him, opening it to a bunch of medical supplies.
You grimace at the gash above his eye after looking at it closely, pulling a disinfectant swab to wipe away the blood around it. Jongho hisses before pulling his face back, throwing you a hurtful look.
“I didn’t even touch you yet, Jongho, don’t be a baby”
“Just- Just hurry up” Jongho leans back down again, letting you attempt to treat his wound. 
It was quite difficult attempting to tend to his gash, leaning forward as you try to keep your balance but also being gentle. Jongho must’ve noticed your frustration before swatting your hand away.
“Stand up-” 
You were barely standing before Jongho grabs you by the hips, sliding himself forward on the bench and pulling you down on his thigh. You let out a surprised gasp at the sudden action. 
“Um- thanks” You focus on the cut once again, successfully treating it before hesitantly bringing your other hand up, grabbing Jongho’s face gently to turn it around.
You didn’t realize how close your faces were to each other until he turned around and looked you in the eye, making your breath hitch at the back of your throat. With how close your bodies were, practically leaning on him, Jongho could probably hear the thumping of your heart in your chest, threatening to explode. 
You could feel Jongho’s intense stare on your face as you focus on the cut on his lip. Your hands shake as you bring them up to cup his face and the other cleaning his cut lip. 
“Are you nervous?” Your gaze snaps back up to Jongho, who was staring at you with soft eyes, hooded but soft. 
“What’s there to be nervous about?” You were suddenly quiet, almost whispering. Even your breathing was louder than your voice.
“I don’t know. You just seem nervous”
“Well, I’m not”
“It’s him, isn’t it? You’re still not over him-” 
“I don’t want to talk about him-”
“It’s odd to find yourself sitting on my thigh, right? So close to my face, it reminds you of him doesn’t it?-” 
By now, you have absolutely no ideal responses to bark back. Jongho didn’t remind you of Jungkook, he reminded you of the sinful things Jungkook did with you sitting on his thighs. 
“- I can show you I’m different... better” 
Jongho’s voice was equally quiet as yours, the gap between your faces unnoticeably grew smaller with each passing second. His arm wraps around your back, pushing you forward.
Your lips plant against his, eyes shut close as you drop the things in your hand to the floor, lips moving in sync with Jongho’s as you wrap your arms around his neck, pushing off the towel that was there.
All thoughts left your head, the vendetta, everything. All you could think about now was the words that left Jongho’s mouth a minute ago replaying in your head, how he could be better than Jungkook, and you were starting to believe it despite the reasoning. 
Your chest pressed against his as you feel him nip against your bottom lip, slipping his tongue in as the two of you wrestle for dominance. You could feel his hands move to your waist, squeezing you gently before pushing your hips back and forth, creating a friction between your crotch and his thigh. 
A small moan slips from your lips in the kiss, you were too immersed with his lips to care or feel embarrassed. One of your hands slides down his naked chest, tracing the outline of his pecks with your fingers before tracing down his abdomen to his lower region.
You can feel your wetness spreading with each time Jongho helped you roll your hips against his thigh, making you grow needier and needier by the second. By now, you were confident enough to move them on your own, taking Jongho’s hands and guiding them down to your ass.
Jongho firmly grasps your ass, squeezing it as he spreads your cheeks apart, still pushing you back and forth against this thigh. Your wetness probably soaked through your shorts by now, staining Jongho’s. 
You take your hand, squeezing Jongho’s other thigh before moving back over to his crotch, feeling his boner before sliding your hand under the waistband of his shorts, palming him over his boxers. 
Your clit was throbbing under the material of your shorts and panties, making you aggressively kiss Jongho as you roll your hips faster. Jongho breaks from the kiss, pecking your lips before instantly attacking your neck, sending your head falling back to let him cover more of your neck.
A breathy moan falls from your lips as Jongho sucks on your sweet spot, making you squeeze his clothed dick. His hands slip under your shirt, quickly throwing it above your head, letting your jacket fall to the floor before attaching his lips onto your chest, kissing the top of your breasts as he fondles with the clip of your bra. 
“Please tell me you know how to take it off”
“Remember what I said, don’t question my abilities” And with that, you could feel your bra unclasp, strap dropping down to your arm as your breasts become free and naked in front of him. 
Jongho kisses the valley of your breasts before taking one in his mouth and playing with the other in his hands, nipple slipping between his fingers as he fondles. 
Your lips were now parted, mouth dry as the friction between your clothed pussy and Jongho’s thigh increases. Jongho took the opportunity to lift you up slightly, fingers hooking under the waistband of your shorts and panties before pulling them down, exposing your gushing pussy to the cold air.
Jongho stands and wraps an arm around you before pushing you against the locker, slamming his lips back against yours as he lets your bottoms drop to the floor, leaving you naked against the locker. You could feel his hard dick rubbing against your leg, letting you take the opportunity to take down his shorts and boxers.
The two of you stood naked in the locker room, swallowing each other’s lips as you grab his dick and start pumping him with the small coat of precum you smeared all over his length. 
“Mnngh- faster” Jongho groans against the kiss, bucking his hips up to meet with your quickening pumps. 
Jongho squeezes your ass before trailing a hand to the front, cupping your wet pussy before rubbing your clit with his fingers, making you moan into the kiss. You could feel your pool of wetness coat your inner thigh as you rub them together under Jongho’s touch.
“Fuck so wet” Jongho circles his fingers over your clit a few more times before pushing your legs apart, slipping his fingers between your legs and coating them with your juices. 
You let out a breathy moan as inserts his fingers into you, pumping them in sync with your hand movements on his dick. You give him light pecks on the corner of his lips before kissing down his neck, sucking on the spot behind his ear before resting your head back on the cold locker your back was pressed against. 
“More, please-” You begged with furrowed brows, eyeing Jongho’s replicate expression.
Jongho slips his fingers out of you and cups the back of your thighs, hoisting you up to wrap your legs around his waist, letting the tip of his throbbing cock poke at your pussy. Jongho wraps his arms around your back, pulling you down to kiss him as he walks away from the lockers.
You were too immersed by your own lust to feel him push you against another cold surface, slightly wet. Then you realized it was a shower the moment you heard the squeak of a knob, cold water turning warm as it hits your naked bodies, making the warmth between the two of you grow.
Jongho grasps your ass, slowly sinking you down on his dick, making you break from the kiss again, letting out a breath of air as his girthy length stretches out your hole. Your face scrunches in pleasure as he bucks his hips up, bouncing you up against the shower wall and thrusting himself into you.
“Ohh fuck- ohmygod” Jongho bounces you faster, hands firmly planted on your ass to lift you as he knocks the air out of your lungs every time you come down on his dick.
You push back the wet hair stuck on his face, exposing his forehead as you tangle your fingers through his hair. Your breasts bounce with your body as your legs threaten to become undone around his waist. 
“Mmnnghhh- fuck you’re so tight” Jongho groans against your neck, kissing it before moving back to your lips, water slipping into your mouths as Jongho wrestles with your tongue. 
“Fuck- Jonghonnnghhaa” The squelching sounds grew louder as the sound of his thrusts echoes through the lockerroom. 
You grip on to Jongho’s shoulders, feeling every flexed muscle as he holds you up, squeezing his biceps as you release uncontrollable moans into his ear. They grew louder and louder as Jongho deepens his thrusts, sending you bouncing higher than before and sinking down deeper onto his dick. 
Jongho grips your waist, lifting you off his dick and onto your feet before spinning you around, pressing your body against the cold wall, moving your face out of the shower of water. Your hips push back, rubbing your ass against his dick, feeling the tip already in your hole. 
“See how much better I can be than him?” Jongho growls against your ear, pushing his dick into you with a hard thrust, squeezing your breasts on to the wall. 
“So much better- fuck sososo much better” Your head turns to the side, meeting with his before barely kissing him as he starts thrusting fast again.
“How many times has he made you cum in one night hm?” Jongho was breathing heavily against your ear, gripping your waist tightly as he slaps his hips into you.
“Mhmph fuck I don’t know- ah fuck Jongho!” You bite down on your lip, head falling back onto Jongho’s shoulder as he pounds into you from behind, the skin of his torso slapping against your ass each time. 
“Tell me- oh fuck” 
“Ohmygod nnghha- two! Two!” 
“Pathetic. I’ll make it three” Jongho pushes your legs apart with his hand, fingers finding their way back on to your clit.
“Jongho fuckkk-” Jongho circles his fingers over your clit, rubbing your bud of nerves as he quickens his thrusts into you, making you gasp for more air each time.
At this pace, you were so close to cumming around his dick. Your eyes shut close, letting sprinkles of water hit your scrunched up face as Jongho breathes against your ear, letting you hear his deep low grunts coming with each thrust. 
“Are you close? Hm? Cum for me” Jongho grunts through gritted teeth, hardening this thrusts as he rubs your clit faster.
The overwhelming pleasure causes you to release high-pitched moans, mouth gaping wide. You could feel it coming, the built-up euphoria edging to be released through your entire body with each thrust. 
“Oh fuckfuckfucknnnghh ohmygod Jongho!” Your walls clench around Jongho’s dick, breathing becoming heavier as your hips start to twitch and the knot in the pit of your stomach snaps, making you convulse underneath Jongho’s body, hips pushed back and hands flung up around Jongho’s head, gripping his wet hair as pure bliss washes over your body. 
Jongho grunts loudly, fucking out your high with deep thrusts as his fingers still rub at your clit, bringing you close to another orgasm from the stimulation. His thrusts slow down as he focuses on your clit, rubbing it fast with his fingers flat against it. 
Your forehead rests against the wall as you breathe heavily with water dripping down your chin, watching the way Jongho’s fingers rub against your clit. You could feel another orgasm coming, making you grip Jongho’s free hand, pulling it up to your breasts as you squeeze his forearms, feeling his flexed muscles. 
“Oh my god- pleasepleaseplease” Your knees bent, body threatening to collapse on the second orgasm only to be pushed back up again by Jongho’s fingers on your clit.
Your eyes roll back, clenching your jaw as you feel another wave of pleasure wash over your entire body. Broken high-pitched moans escape your lips, thighs trembling and closing together as Jongho rubs another orgasm out of you. 
“I promised you a third, didn’t I?” 
Jongho slips out of your hole again, spinning you back to the position you were in the first time, holding you against the wall as his arms wrap around your back with you clung on to him, sinking down on his dick, twitching slightly as you were still sensitive from the first orgasm. 
You were too fucked out to say anything, needing to have Jongho back inside you again. You were on the verge of crying from the overwhelming pleasure, making your moans turn from soft to pleading cries. 
“Ahhh Jongho shitshitshit oh my fucking god- right there nnghh fuckfuck” You bounced on his dick, back sliding up and down against the shower wall.
Your legs started trembling, on the verge to become undone around Jongho’s waist as another orgasm approaches. You cup his face in your hands, bringing it up to kiss you harshly as your face scrunches harder, brows furrowed deeper. 
Jongho helps you reach your third orgasm, thrusting his hips up, deepening himself into you. Sweet moans filled the kiss as you become undone on his dick, arms slung around his neck and body off the wall, pressed hard against Jongho’s chest. 
“Ohmygod, Jongho- fuck!” 
“Jesus Christ- I’m so close” Jongho grunts before pulling himself out, letting you drop to your feet, struggling to stand after your final orgasm. 
Jongho wraps his hand around his dick to pump himself, head falling back as his spurt of cum shoots out, covering your thigh only to be washed away by the water. 
“Ohhhh fuckkkk-” Jongho takes your chin with his free hand, pulling you in for a kiss as he milks the rest of himself out. 
He slowly pumps himself before taking an arm around your waist, holding you close to him as he passionately kisses you before breaking off. Jongho gapes at you with soft eyes, hand still cupping your face. 
The two of you stay like that for a while under the water, gazing into each other’s eyes not knowing what to do or say. That was until you decided to break the ice.
“You’re going to catch a cold” Jongho’s lips carve up into a small smile, letting his hand drop from your face and turning the shower knob, water coming to a complete stop. 
“You’re lucky I have thick towels” You chuckle, throwing a soft punch to his chest before pushing past, stepping out into the locker area with Jongho following you closely behind. 
Jongho wraps a takes out a towel from a locker before throwing it over your shivering body, patting you dry before grabbing another, throwing it over your head and patting it before deciding to cup your face with it, squeezing your cheeks slightly.
“Be mine” Jongho looks at you with sincere eyes, scanning every inch of your face, waiting for a response.
“This isn’t some sort of way to get back at Jungkook, is it?” 
“No, it isn’t” 
“Why?” 
“Because you came tonight. Nobody ever watched me before”
“That doesn’t mean fall in love with me”
“I don’t love you. Yet”

richie tozier and his zoomer teen: headcanons
Tumblr media
A/N: I tried keeping this as gender neutral as possible, but idk it’s a lil implied that the kid’s a girl. i’m trying to learn how to write gender neutral stuff :”)
By teenager, I mean around 16-17! High school age!!
Enjoy!
Sometime in the early 2000s, famous comedian Richard Tozier went to a party and came home with a woman.
oh yeah they deffo got it on that night
But that was a one night stand kind of thing, and Richie didn’t have any contact with her until about a year later.
He got up the couch one early evening to the ringing of his doorbell, and found a basket and a bag filled with baby food, diapers, and clothes perched on his doorstep
And in the basket? A small child, an apology note from the mother, and a birth certificate with his name listed as the father.
Oh boy did his life completely change after that.
It was him and the child, against the world.
but let’s skip the details on him struggling to take care of an infant first and move on a bit to when the kid’s older.
You, of course, are the baby that was left on his doorstep, and Richie tried to be the best father he could be despite his touring career as a comedian.
He’d bring you to the shows, even if you didn’t understand a thing that went on, though eventually when you’d help him write some material when you were older.
Constantly touring with him as a kid meant you were homeschooled. But that didn’t stop you from having a social life. You’d be friends with a lot of his fellow comedians, and John Mulaney was your ultimate favorite friend of his.
you just loved the very tall and gangly twelve year old looking man named uncle john.
Your academic life though was not too bad. You’re pretty intelligent, but when it came to maths, oh boy.
As a kid, you’d ask Richie constantly about math. He’d hate the school curriculum you had because math was different back when he was younger. He’d always help you, but it was mostly the internet just teaching you both.
You’d introduce him to vines (through iconic vine compilation videos), but mostly because he was so confused with this new language you were speaking.
Eventually he’d say some vines back to you and it’d come off so weird cause he’s a 40 year old white dad. You love him, nonetheless, and appreciate the effort
A lot of your instagram stories or snapchat stories are you filming him as you sing “You are my dad! You’re my dad! Boogie woogie woogie!”
He found it cute at first, where he would smile at you hiding behind your phone and hug you after cause dang he loves his kid so much and would die for you
then later, he’s evidently so annoyed because you do it constantly. As in he takes off his glasses, puts his head in his hands and just sighs so loudly.
When tiktok became the new vine, you were on the app every single day, making it a goal of yours to become tiktok famous.
You’d force your dad to do tiktoks with you
“I love my daddy. he is my superhero”
“Famous relative check!”
BUT THE PERFECT AUDIO
“Don’t look at me like that.” “YOU’RE MY DAD. BOOGIEWOOGIEWOOGIE!”
Gaining some clout because he is a pretty famous comedian 👀
Saying “ok boomer” to him when he’d annoy you
But then he’d clap back by being like “What the fuck Y/N. I was born in 1976, i’m not that old.”
“Yeah but sometimes you think like a boomer.”
“Ok, zoomer.”
“Dad. No. Get out.”
He’s really chill with you swearing. You definitely got that habit from him.
“What the actual fuck, Richard.”
“At least have the fucking decency to call me dad, Y/N.”
He got you into video games at a young age. Every time there was a new console or a new interesting game out, you’d both be up early to go out and get the said console/game.
And in each game you’d play, there would be hilarious commentary.
it’s basically that video with bill hader playing god of war with conan but imagine that and a zoomer’s feral energy combined.
He also got you into becoming a cinephile. Though unlike him, you read the books before watching the movie.
Marathoning a bunch of tv series together and you can never watch any new episode without him. Friday nights were reserved especially for it.
Richie can’t fucking cook for the life of him. Growing up, it was always take out, pizza, instant noodles, or mac and cheese.
He tried learning how to cook, he really did. But it was just so bad that eventually you’d learn how to do it. Then you’d try to teach him how too.
But did he get better as a cook?? Not really.
He once accidentaly set almost the whole kitchen on fire when he tried making pasta when you were 15.
“DAD, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PUT WATER IN THE POT FOR PASTA.”
“HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT? I JUST WANTED TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR YOU!”
“I APPRECIATE THE GESTURE BUT PLEASE DON’T EVER TRY TO COOK AGAIN.”
The following morning, he got up and learned how to make pancakes with sausages, bacon, and eggs.
It was damn good, and by far the best thing he ever made.
So his pancakes became a regular thing.
On casual dinner nights at home, he’d let you have a drink with him and be drinking buddies. He taught you how to drink and be safe with drinks (cause we stan a protective father amirite)
Speaking of protective father, he’d be so picky and open about the people you’d date
“Really Y/N? That person? They’re fucking trash and you know it. You deserve better, sweetie.”
“But dad. They’re hot.”
“That’s still a no from me, kiddo.”
Having the most random, yet somehow meaningful conversations with Richie, yet roasting him at the same time.
“Y/N, do you think I would be classified as a papi by people.”
“No. You still wear hawaiian shirts over a t-shirt. You’re too tacky for that. You’re a papa, not a papi.”
But somehow, you also adopt his fashion style?
Cause hawaiian shirts are pretty cool? Very John Deacon ala 80s aesthetic?
And then he roasts you back from the time you called him tacky.
“Respect the drip, Richard.”
Even though you always poke fun at each other, you guys are actually so open with each other and just talk about anything and everything.
Oh no when you first got your period, he was panicking and nearly bought the entire aisle of pads and tampons because he was so clueless
Meeting the Losers Club was exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. You didn’t know what to expect of them or what they’d expect from you.
You clung to your dad the whole time, watching him reunite with his childhood friends. Each one of them had a look of surprise and confusion the moment they laid their eyes on you.
They found you to be like a mini-me of Richie, as both of you were clad in printed/hawaiian shirts and glasses.
“Jeez, Richie. Why’d you decide to bring a fucking clone of yourself?” asked Eddie.
“That’s my kid, you dumbass! Eddie, this is Y/N.”
“No shit, you have a kid! You got married, dipshit?”
“No, uh, it’s just them and me.”
You decided to butt in jokingly, “Joe was in the picture for a while too,”
“Joe? Who the fuck is Joe?” The minute Eddie asked this, Richie knew what was coming next.
“Joe mama.” Thus receving a high five from your father and a groan from Eddie.
at first, everyone else would not believe Richie ‘Trashmouth’ Tozier had his very own kid, but the minute you started to get comfortable and joke around, it really clicked for them.
“There’s no doubt they’re Richie’s kid. Look at them! They’re basically a carbon copy of him!” Eddie would have exclaimed.
You‘re very liberal and open-minded, supporting the LGBT+ community and such, but you didn’t really know Richie’s stance on it.
Perhaps it was because he’d been surpressing his feelings for a specific boy from his childhood for almost his entire life, and he didn’t really talk about that topic so much.
But when you saw the chemistry between your dad and Uncle Eds, you sensed a little something there on both ends.
always saying a specific vine under your breath when you see them “two bros, chilling in a hot tub, five feet apart cause they’re not gay” (thank you to for this hc)
OKAY UNCLE EDS LIVES IN THIS AND HE’S DEFFO A BIG PART OF YOUR LIFE AFTER ONE SPECIAL TRIP TO DERRY, MAINE.
You’d say the vine so much, Richie eventually heard it and pulled you aside.
“Y/N, I- how did you know?”
“Know what dad?”
It took a little while for him to come up with the proper words to say. How was he gonna break this to you?
“Y/N..honey, I’ve had feelings for your Uncle Eds ever since we were kids. I-i don’t know, it really scared me as a kid to feel that way so I never talked about it. I guess what I’m trying to say is, kiddo, I’m gay.”
“Huh? I thought you were American?”
the man was basically on the verge of tears. He was so tense, he almost forgot to breathe. But the moment you hugged him and told him that it’s okay, that you love him so much, and that you’re so proud of him, he wrapped you in the biggest bear hug and cried. You cried too.
A/N: Imma end it here for now :)
So sorry it took forever!! I hope you enjoyed!!
Let me know if you want a part 2! 🤪

The Frog Kingdom
Words: 4800
Summary: The girls go fishing. Somehow, they’re actually successful. Who would have guessed? Meanwhile, Nana introduces monarchy to the frogs.
“This is possibly the worst idea we’ve ever had,” Junna said, “even worse than the Pool Noodle Massacre.”
“No way,” Claudine argued. “Nothing is worse than the Pool Noodle Massacre.”
Junna, who was already completely sunburnt, looked Claudine dead in the eyes and asked, “Are you sure about that?”
Claudine laughed, reeling in her fishing line. “I still can’t believe you burn faster than me. Didn’t you put on like seven layers of sunscreen?”
“Yes.” Junna pouted, arms crossed. She had stolen Nana’s sunhat, too, the wide brim casting a shadow over her red face. “What I can’t believe is that you actually know how to fish. Where did you learn that?”
“Oh, you know,” Claudine answered, throwing her line back into the lake.
“No, I really don’t.” Junna followed suit, her hook landing with a quiet splash. They were sitting on a big raft in the middle of a lake, legs dangling in the water. It was warm. The sun was shining, and only the barest breeze ruffled through the trees lining the shore. Somehow they had all agreed to a day of fishing, despite only three of them having any sort of experience. Futaba and Mahiru seemed confident in their skills, though Junna was starting to doubt Claudine’s claims. The rest of them were making it up as they went. Those of them that were actually trying, that was. Kaoruko was lying in the middle of the raft, parasol propped up to shade her face. Futaba and Nana were sitting nearby, discussing the best types of fish to eat, their poles sitting idly in their hands. Mahiru was on the other side of the raft, coaching an energetic Karen and a strangely awkward Maya. Junna had a feeling that Maya had never been this far from a city before in her life. She was going through a rough adjustment period.
Junna pulled in her line and grimaced at the clump of pondweed stuck to it. “Are there even any fish in this lake?”
“Does it really matter? You don’t go fishing for the fish. Come on, Jun, get with the program.”
“Then why are we actually here?”
“Cause we’re a bunch of gay losers with no better ideas?”
“....Fair enough.”
“Ah! I got one!” Karen shouted, jumping to her feet. She was holding her fishing rod like a baseball bat, trying to pull the fish out of the water. Mahiru hurried over to help, reeling in the line. The group watched with only mild interest. This was the fifth time Karen had called that out this hour, and each time it had been a disappointment. It was looking like there was finally a chance for success, though. Karen and Mahiru were fighting for their fish, pulling with all their might.
“We’re almost there!” Karen shouted.
Bubbles rose to the surface of the water, a dark shadow beneath them. The group leaned forward, holding their breath. Was it true? Did Karen do it?
“Alllllllllmooooooossssssttt!” Karen and Mahiru made one last, big push of effort. Something broke through the surface-- everyone gasped--
“Wait- Hikari-chan????”
Hikari looked up at Karen and Mahiru’s shocked faces, the hook stuck in her hair pin.
“I found this,” she said, handing Mahiru a purplish piece of seaweed. “It reminded me of you.”
With that she sank back underwater, swimming away. Everyone stared after her, open mouthed.
“I hate these group trips,” Junna finally said.
“What… do I do with this?” Mahiru asked, looking around at everyone, seaweed in her hand.
“Eat it, probably,” Kaoruko said, choking on her laughter. “What a catch, Karen-han!”
“You might just win biggest fish of the day!” Futaba called. They were keeping track, of course. They were too competitive a group not to. Junna had her notebook tucked inside her oversized shirt - another stolen item from Nana, who was delighted by the sight - and was ready to mark down the winners. Assuming any of them managed to catch a fish in the first place.
“I’m going to go look for frogs,” Nana declared a few minutes later. She slipped into the water, swam underneath the raft, then reappeared by Junna’s feet. “Wanna come with, Junna-chan?”
Nana’s usual banana hairstyle had fallen apart after their initial swim to the raft. She had retied it into a short ponytail, and combined with her eager smile, she was too adorable to dismiss. Junna sighed.
“I suppose.”
“Yay, Junna-chan!”
“You’re so whipped,” Claudine said.
“Shut up.”
Junna joined Nana in the water, careful not to splash her glasses as they swam over to shore.
“How interesting,” Kaoruko said, watching the pair go. “The parents have abandoned their children. Whatever are we supposed to do now?”
“Probably something that’s not whatever you’re thinking,” Claudine said.
“How boring. I’m sure Tendo-han would be interested in my idea.”
“What?” Maya looked up from the tangled mess of a fishing line she’d managed to create. Futaba winced at the sight of the giant knots.
“Tendo, how did you even do that?”
“I’m… not sure.” Maya frowned at the disaster sitting in her lap.
“You’re just useless when you’re not on stage, aren’t you,” Claudine said, rolling her eyes. Art and fishing, Tendo Maya’s apparent weaknesses.
“What if we make this a stage?” Kaoruko asked sweetly. Instantly everyone turned to her, a gleam in their eyes.
“Go on,” Claudine said.
“Wellllll, I was simply thinking that’s it been soooo long since we did any improv work…”
“Let’s pretend we’re on a boat!” Karen shouted, bouncing up and down, the raft rocking under her feet. “I’ll be captain!”
“Woah, why are you captain?” Futaba countered. “You’d strand us in the middle of the ocean!”
“We are in the middle of a lake…” Maya commented, looking thoughtful. She set her rod aside and got to her feet.
“I’m calling for mutiny,” Claudine decided, standing up as well. The rest of the group followed.
“W-wait!” Mahiru said, wrapping an arm around Karen. “Let’s not be hasty! I’m sure Karen-chan can get us out of here.”
“Thank you, First Mate Mahiru!” Karen said. She placed her hands on her hips, striking a confident pose. “I will get us out of here, absolutely!”
“You better!” Futaba placed her hands on Kaoruko’s shoulders, who instantly adopted a worried look. “My fiancee and I were supposed to get married on this ship! Not get lost at sea!”
“Yes!” Kaoruko chimed in with her perfect offended princess voice. “How dare you! I’m lodging a complaint!”
Claudine laughed. “You’re lodging a complaint? To who? The shark?”
“Shark!?” the group cried out. Hikari circled the raft, hands pointed above her head to mimic a shark fin. Karen sang the Jaws theme song under her breath for dramatic effect.
“Everyone, behind me!” Maya called, throwing an arm out. All her city girl awkwardness had disappeared under the shine of the stage. Her voice echoed with power.
“What if we sacrifice her?” Claudine whispered to Karen as she huddled with the rest of the group.
“I’m on it!” Karen rushed forward and flung herself at Maya.
“Ah!” The pair hit the deck, wrestling for control. “Captain Aijo! I demand-- be sensible!”
One moment Karen was on top, straddling Maya’s waist, the next Maya had flipped them over, trying to catch Karen’s wildly swinging arms. Claudine was laughing so hard she was crying.
“C-Captain Karen!” Mahiru called out. “Watch out--”
Karen and Maya rolled right off the edge of the raft and into the water. Immediately Hikari dove after them, teeth bared in a feral grin.
“Well,” Futaba gasped through her laughter, “I think that makes Mahiru the next captain?”
“Ummm. That’s okay. I’ll pass.”
“I’ll be captain!” Kaoruko announced, graciously stepping forward. “As the most beautiful person on this ship, the duty clearly falls to me.”
“Hold up,” Claudine said, eyes narrowed in challenge. “Most beautiful? Says who?”
“Says the fact that I’m the one getting married, of course!”
“Yeah? You’re just a fiancee right now, Hanayagi. I am a wife!”
The three girls still alive on the raft gasped dramatically, hands to their chest. Claudine smirked, flipping her hair over her shoulder.
“Never expected that, huh?”
“Objection!” Futaba said, pointing a finger at Claudine. “I’m engaged to Kaoruko, so you can’t be married to us. Mahiru was shocked by your announcement, so you can’t be married to her either. That leaves only Captain Aijo and Tendo, who have both been tragically killed.”
The group paused for a minute of silence, the memory of their comrades’ deaths still fresh in their minds.
“You’re forgetting someone,” Claudine said after the moment passed.
“Who?”
“I,” Claudine stated in her haughtiest voice, “am married to the shark.”
There was a beat of silence as everyone processed the words.
“EHHHH????????”
Hikari surfaced, leaning on the edge of the raft and flashing Claudine a grin.
“Good work, my beloved,” Claudine said, returning the smile. “Soon this entire ocean will be ours.”
Hikari winked and disappeared again.
“Isn’t my wife hot?” Claudine asked the rest of the crew. They mumbled their agreement, casting fearful looks between them.
“But, but…” Karen whispered, treading water a few feet away. “Hikari-chan is…”
“Hush. We’re dead, remember?” Maya pushed Karen’s head under the water.
“Now!” Claudine said, taking control of the ship. “I am your new captain, and I expect order! I want all three of you cleaning the decks. I want them spotless, you hear me?”
“Yes ma’am!” The three girls saluted and went to work, getting on their hands and knees and pretending to scrub the raft. Claudine oversaw them, commenting on Futaba’s and Mahiru’s work, while purposely ignoring the way Kaoruko scooted over to the edge.
“Hey, hot shark girl,” Kaoruko whispered, looking behind her to make sure Claudine wasn’t watching. Hikari raised her head out of the water.
“Yes?”
“You like your wife, right?”
“Of course.”
“You want to make her happy, right?”
“Ideally.”
Kaoruko grinned. “Good. Because I bet Claudine would be really, super happy if you decided to eat her. If you know what I mean.”
“Hmm.” Hikari dropped below the water again, keeping eye contact with Kaoruko the entire time,  until she was deep enough to swim beneath the raft. Then she was gone.
“Hanayagi!” Claudine called. “That doesn’t look like work to me!”
“I’m very sorry,” Kaoruko said, lacing her voice with false sincerity. “It’s simply that I finished already.”
“Finished? That fast?”
“Oh, yes. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you come inspect it?”
Claudine thought about it for a moment. Futaba and Mahiru were watching out of the corner of their eyes, waiting to see what would happen. “Fine. I think I will.”
Claudine marched over to the edge of the raft, peering down at the wood. “Hmm. Looking at this, I don’t think you spent a single second working at all-- Ahh!!”
Hikari burst out of the water and wrapped her arms around Claudine’s legs, pulling her in. They disappeared in a cloud of bubbles. The trio left alive watched as Claudine’s bright hair faded away into the murky depths.
“Another one bites the dust,” Mahiru murmured.
“I’ve had enough of this shark!” Futaba declared. “It’s eaten three of our friends! It must be stopped!”
“Babe, no!” Kaoruko cried out as Futaba dove into the water after Hikari. More bubbles rose to the surface as they wrestled under the water. Kaoruko and Mahiru caught only flashes of movement.
The fight must have ended in a draw, for neither returned to the raft. Instead they joined Karen, Maya, and Claudine, treading water in the designated Dead Person Zone.
And then there were two.
“Well, I’m still planning to get married on this trip,” Kaoruko said, turning to Mahiru.
Mahiru took a step backwards. “Ummm. Well, we don’t have anyone to officiate anymore, so…”
“I think that’s fine,” Kaoruko said, taking a step closer to Mahiru. “If there’s no one to officiate, then there’s also no one to complain.”
Mahiru’s heels were at the edge of the raft. One more step and she’d tumble into the water. She had to do something - but what?
“I…. I have a confession to make!” she shouted. Kaoruko paused, eyebrows raised.
“Oh?”
“Yes!” Mahiru nodded seriously. “I will only marry someone who can beat me in a wrestling match!”
Kaoruko paled, fear flashing across her face. “Wait-”
Back on shore, Junna looked up from her frog hunting just in time to see Mahiru tackle Kaoruko across the raft, the two of them tumbling into the water, Kaoruko’s shriek piercing the air. Then all was still, almost picturesque, an empty raft floating quietly in a lake. Junna decided she didn’t want to know what had gone down in her absence.
“Nana, I’m never saying no to frog hunting again.”
“Great!” Nana beamed at her, holding out her newest catch, a small speckled toad. “What should we name this one?”
Junna frowned. “Isn’t that Shakespeare again?”
“No, no! Shakespeare was smaller.”
“I see,” Junna said, not seeing at all. How Nana managed to keep track of the dozen frogs she’d found so far, Junna didn’t know. “How about…. Anne Hathaway?”
“Isn’t that some American actress?”
“Yes. But it’s also the name of Shakespeare’s wife.”
“Oh! That’s great, Junna-chan! Let me find Shakespeare again, I have to introduce them!” Nana bounded off through the reeds, Anne Hathaway carefully cradled in her hands. Junna watched her go with a fond, if exasperated, smile.
“Alright,” she muttered to herself, standing up and looking across the water. “Time to make sure the rest of these idiots haven’t drowned themselves.”
Said idiots were all treading water in the middle of the lake, pondweed tangled in their hair and algae freckling their skin with green.
“I can’t believe you betrayed me like that!” Claudine complained, glaring at Hikari. “We were supposed to be powerful together!”
“Kaoruko told me to eat you.”
“And you listened!?”
Hikari shrugged.
“Speaking of listening to bad suggestions,” Maya said, frowning at Karen.
“You don’t say no to sacrifice!” Karen declared.
“Exactly!” Futaba agreed. “Especially when that sacrifice is heroic.”
“My hero,” Kaoruko said, swimming over to Futaba and clinging to her arm.
Mahiru sighed. “I’m going back to the raft.”
“I wouldn’t, if I were you,” Claudine said, nodding her head in that direction. The group turned to look, then immediately turned right back around.
“Maybe if we pretend we didn’t see her,” Karen whispered, “she won’t notice us.”
“No way, she has her glasses on this time, we’re done for,” Futaba moaned.
“I don’t know why you’re complaining, Futaba-han,” Kaoruko said, cowering behind her, “You’re not the one she gets mad at!”
Claudine hummed in thought. “You know, Karen, I’m thinking we should go the sacrifice route again.”
Maya nodded. “This time I agree.”
“Aye-aye, captain!”
“Wait! No!” Kaoruko cried out as Karen grabbed hold of her and began dragging her to the raft, where an expectant Junna was waiting with her hands on her hips.
“Ah, Karen-chan, maybe you shouldn’t…” Mahiru trailed off, wincing.
“No, this is good,” Hikari said. “We can sacrifice both of them now.”
“Karen! Hanayagi!” Junna said, her voice loud enough to carry to the rest of the group. “What do you think you’re doing?”
“It was Kaoruko-chan’s idea--”
“Karen-han tackled Tendo-han--”
“Stop, stop.” Junna rubbed the sides of her head, already feeling a headache form. “One at a time. And the rest of you, come over here too.”
“Yes, Dad,” Claudine muttered as they paddled over to the raft.
“I heard that.”
Claudine made a face, sticking her tongue out. Maya giggled. When the entire group was assembled on the raft again, Junna asked, “Okay. Who is going to explain what happened?”
The girls looked at each other, none willing to speak up. Finally Maya poked Karen in the back, whispering something about sacrifices.
“Right!” Karen said, jumping to her feet. “See, Kaoruko-chan said we should do an improv play. So I decided to be captain of our boat, but Futaba-chan got mad because I stranded everyone in the ocean and she wanted to get married to Kaoruko-chan, but then we realized that Hikari-chan was being a shark, so I tackled Maya-chan to sacrifice her, and we both got eaten!”
Kaoruko picked up the story next, after a pointed look from Futaba. “Our dear Kuro-han then told us she was married to Shark Hikari-han, so I told Hikari-han to eat her, as any proper wife should, and then Futaba-han bravely jumped in to fight her, and then Mahiru-han tried to propose to me by wrestling me, and then we both fell off the ship!”
Everyone looked at Junna with determined faces, ready to defend their play. Junna stared back at them, open mouthed. It took several moments for her to collect her thoughts.
“So… You’re telling me… That we go to the most prestigious theater academy in the country… and this is the best improv play you could come up with?”
Everyone turned away, making various awkward faces as they tried to avoid eye contact with their disappointed pseudo father figure.
“So,” Futaba said, attempting to give a normal, friendly smile that didn’t show her embarrassment, “how’d the frog hunting go?”
Junna let out a long sigh. “Nana found 13 different frogs and has started weaving grass into little hats for them to wear.”
“God. Nana is really just the cutest person in the world, isn’t she,” Claudine said, shaking her head.
“It’s certainly impressive,” Maya agreed. “She’s still planning on cooking dinner, yes?”
“That depends. Have you caught any fish yet?” Junna asked, the silence confirming the answer she already knew.
“Okay!” Mahiru decided, taking charge. “Let’s get back to it! Maya-chan, I’ll untangle your fishing rod. Hikari-chan, stay out of the water, okay?”
“But-”
“You’re probably scaring all the fish away! If you want to swim, do it somewhere else.”
Hikari pouted, taking a pole and moving to the edge of the raft. The rest of the group followed suit, Karen and Futaba joining her. Mahiru took Maya to the other side, getting to work on the tangled fishing line. Junna and Claudine returned to their original spot, Kaoruko flopping down beside them.
“You’re not going to help?” Claudine asked.
“Of course not! Futaba-han is the one who does the fishing. I’m the one who does the eating.”
“It’s always eating with you, isn’t it?”
“Yes. Speaking of which, Junna-han, I’ve always wondered, does Banana-han taste like bananas?”
“I wouldn’t know,” Junna said, voice surprisingly steady for her red face.  “I’ve never eaten a banana in my life.”
Claudine snorted. “Don’t let Nana hear that. She’ll cry.”
“Ugh. You’re so boring today, Junna-han.”
“Alright, Maya-chan,” Mahiru said, handing Maya her detangled rod. “Just throw the hook into the water.”
“That’s all?” At Mahiru’s nod, Maya tossed the hook as best as she could. It landed with a sad plop a foot away from the raft.
“Try… throwing it a little harder than that,” Mahiru suggested. “Like a baseball!”
“A what?”
“A… baseball?”
Maya gave Mahiru a blank look. Mahiru was starting to get very concerned.
“How about… I’ll cast the line, and you can reel it in once we get a bite?”
Maya nodded, gladly relinquishing control.
“Hey! Hey! I got one!” Futaba shouted, a fish dangling from her line. “Look at that! Hey, Junna! You gotta measure it!”
Futaba bounded across the raft and shoved the fish in Junna’s face. Junna grimaced. “A little less enthusiasm, Isurugi, please.” Junna gingerly took the fish and pulled out her pocket ruler. “It’s about… six inches.”
“Six inches! Nice!”
Futaba ran over to their bucket and threw it the fish in, watching in awe as it started swimming around. Junna wrote down the exact measurement in her notebook, marking Futaba’s name with a star. She was the current winner. Claudine leaned over and whispered in her ear, “Do we tell Futaba that six inches is the smallest thing she can catch in this lake?”
“No,” Junna whispered back, “she’s already short enough. We don’t need to shrink her ego too.”
The fish started coming quick after that. Mahiru and Maya pulled in an eight inch one, topping the leaderboard for an hour. Karen was winning in terms of amounts, catching fish twice as fast as the rest of the group. There were whispers going around the raft that she was catching the same one, throwing it back in already on her hook. Their bucket kept filling up, though, two dozen small fish swimming in circles, scales flashing in the light.
“We should start cooking these,” Maya said, depositing her latest catch. “I’ll bring them over to Daiba-san.”
“Careful,” Claudine said, “she probably has a frog army at this point.”
“But they’re all wearing cute hats,” Mahiru reminded them. “So it’s okay.”
“Please make sure she hasn’t tried to become one with the frogs again,” Junna said, looking over at the shore with a frown on her face.
“Again?” Maya asked.
“Let’s not talk about it.”
Maya left for shore, bucket held above her head. She set it on the beach, next to their little grill, and headed off into the reeds to look for Nana. The croaking led Maya right to her.
Nana was crouched in a little clearing, several driftwood structures in front of her. It looked like a little village, complete with walkways and road signs. Frogs and toads of all kinds covered the ground. each one wearing a small grass hat. There must have been close to 50. Nana was moving them about, humming to herself. Maya took it all in wordlessly, then turned around and left. She’d come back to this later.
“You know,” Claudine said, “I’ve been thinking we should ban Nana from frogs. I think she’s too into them.”
“I think it’s kinda cute,” Junna said.
“Sure you would. But did you hear what she told me the other day? She told me the frogs watched over my dreams and then sang her songs to tell her what they learned. That’s terrifying.”
Junna paused for a moment. “Okay, maybe you have a point.”
“Yes! Catch number 13!” Karen held up her newest fish and twirled around. “Aijo Karen, the best fisher girl in the world!”
Mahiru clapped politely. Junna sighed.
"I think I’m done with this," she said, getting to her feet.
"What, annoyed that Karen is having more luck than you?" Claudine asked.
"Yes.” Despite her best efforts, Junna hadn’t managed to catch a single fish in the entire two hours. No matter. She didn’t need a fishing rod to fish. “Kagura?" Junna held out her hand. Seconds later and a knife was in her grasp. Junna slid into the water and took off for shore.
"What is she doing?" Futaba asked.
"Trying to stab the fish?" Hikari suggested.
"More importantly," Claudine said, watching the awkward doggy paddle Junna had to use to keep her glasses above water, "why didn’t she bring her contacts?"
“I don’t think JunJun owns contacts,” Karen says.
"What?"
"Yeah, she says they’re annoying."
Maya frowned. "Wasn’t she wearing contacts during Starlight?"
"Nope!"
"So you’re saying that she was essentially blind the entire time?"
"Probably!"
"Oh, man," Futaba laughed. "That’s hardcore!"
"That explains why she was so insistent that the set pieces were placed in the exact same spot every time," Mahiru realized. Futaba started laughing harder.
"And why she ran right into the stairs when we moved them 2 inches forward!"
"What a loser," Kaoruko said.
"No, I’d say that’s very impressive," Maya said
"Don’t tell me," Claudine guessed, "you’re going to start practicing with a blindfold now, aren’t you."
"I was thinking about it."
"Oh my god."
“Oh?” Kaoruko asked. “I thought you’d be into blindfolded practice, Kuro-han.”
“Kaoruko, I’m going to push you off this raft soon.”
“Um, Daiba-san,” Maya said, back on shore. “Are you busy?”
“Hmm?” Nana looked up from her frogs. The village had grown in the fifteen minutes Maya had been gone, and now included a little driftwood castle. As best as Maya could tell, Nana was roleplaying a princess rescue, one frog trapped high up on the castle with a little grass crown, the other hopping along the ground and fighting the guards with its little grass sword.
Maya had no idea how to react to this scenario. She’d rather go back to the raft and learn about baseball. “We were… thinking of cooking soon. Did you want to help?”
“Oh! Of course!” Nana put down the seven frogs she was holding and tapped them on their heads. “Be safe now, okay?” Maya breathed a sigh of relief, leading Nana back to the grill.
“Were you able to catch a lot fish?” Nana asked.
“Somehow we managed.”
“Great!” Nana inspected the bucket, letting the smallest ones go free and passing the larger ones to Maya. The two of them set about to cleaning and cooking the fish.
Back on the raft, Kaoruko was getting bored.
“Futaba-haaaaan,” she called out, rolling across the wood to where Futaba was sitting. “I’m done with fishing.”
“Have you even touched a fishing rod yet?”
“No. I’m a lesbian, I don’t do that.”
Futaba turned around to high five her. “If I let you sit in my lap, will you be patient?”
“Yes!” Kaoruko scooted over and gladly took up her favorite position, head resting on Futaba’s legs.
“Oh! Me too!” Karen said. She laid down in the middle of raft, head resting on Kaoruko’s stomach. “Ahh~ This is nice.”
Mahiru and Hikari looked at each other and shrugged, joining the pile, Mahiru in Karen’s lap and Hikari in hers. Claudine looked over at the cluster of people.
“Wow. We’re all just abandoning fishing now, are we?”
“Yeah,” Futaba said, setting her rod aside and falling backwards. She landed on Mahiru’s stomach, sharing the space with Hikari.
“Hmph. That’s fine. If there’s no one left in the competition, then I’m the automatic winner!” Claudine pulled in a medium sized fish and tossed it in the bucket.
“Nice one, Kuro,” Futaba said. “Where’d you learn to fish so well?”
“Oh, you know. Hey- Looks like Junna is finally coming back.”
“Is she… carrying a bunch of sticks?” Mahiru asked.
“Alright, I’m ready to fish,” Junna said as she reached the raft, pulling herself up. She was indeed carrying several sticks, each sharpened to a point, as well as a larger wooden creation.
“Did you… make yourself a bow?” Claudine asked, dumbfounded.
“Yes.” Junna dried the wood off with her shirt and tested the string, nodding proudly as it vibrated the way she wanted.
“But. How?”
“It’s not that hard. You just need a knife and the proper tree.”
“Junna, you’re a menace.”
“Are you going to shoot the fish?” Futaba asked, looking eager.
“Yes,” Junna answered again. The rest of the girls sat up, moving closer to watch Junna at work. Junna picked up one of her makeshift arrows and pulled the bowstring back. She’d have to be careful. Without feathers, the arrows would fly differently. There was refraction to take into account as well. That was fine. Junna had calculated harder angles. She spied her target, several feet below the surface, and let the arrow fly.
A fish floated to the surface.
“Incroyable!”
“That was amazing!”
“JunJun, you’re the best!”
“See?” Junna said, looking smug. “Who needs a fishing rod to fish?”
“Am I allowed to stab fish with a knife now?” Hikari asked Mahiru.
“No.”
Nana arrived a short while later, swimming over with Maya sitting gracefully on her back, carrying the tray of food. The smell reached the girls well before the food did, their stomachs growling. Pretending to fish all day was hungry work.
“Dinner time!” Nana called. “I’ve got nine hot plates of Banana Grilled Fish!”
“Yeah!” the group shouted, rushing to take their share. It was delicious, as was everything Nana cooked
“Mm, Banana, you’re the best,” Futaba mumbled around a mouthful of fish.
“Did you bring one of your frogs with you?” Junna asked, spying a patch of green on top of Nana’s head.
“Yes! I didn’t want Anne to be lonely.”
“What happened to Shakespeare?”
“She ate him.”
“...Ah.”
Claudine frowned at the pair. “Do I want to know what you two are talking about?”
“No,” Maya answered, thinking of the frog village, “you don’t.”
“Hey, JunJun! Who won the fishing contest?”
“Me, right?” Futaba asked. “My first one was pretty big.”
Junna flipped through her notebook, scanning through the numbers. “I won.”
“What?”
“I won.”
“You only caught two fish!” Claudine protested. “And you shot those with arrows!”
“And I aimed well!”
“Congrats, Junna-chan!” Nana gave a big smile.
“Yeah, congrats,” Claudine said, making eye contact with Karen. “And you know what they say: the winner is the sacrifice.”
“What?”
“I’m on it!”
“Karen!”
Karen tackled Junna right off the edge. They landed with a loud splash, quickly sinking below the surface as Junna tried desperately to fight off Karen. None of the girls reacted.
“Sacrifice?” Nana asked.
“Oh, you know,” Claudine answered.

Well I just couldn’t resist the urge to write another part of my Fraida Scream AU because honestly I love it and I love this verse and every second I spend writing in this verse is the best second ever!
First part here: {x}
If I ever get around to writing more of this verse, I still fully intend to have it be most strongly inspired by Scream 3, even though all the Scream movies are so very wonderful.
That Night had felt like a dream. A nightmare, granted, but a dream nonetheless. Even while he was living it, Fitz had been certain that he was dreaming. That he would wake up, open his eyes, find himself panting and sweaty in his bed with his sheets tangled around his legs and a voice in the back of his mind telling him he was an idiot for even thinking any of it could be real. You’re an idiot, the voice would tell him, people like you don’t actually show up at parties like that anyway. And he would be slightly hurt by his own subconscious but largely grateful that that little voice was right, that he was a loser and the kids at school hated him and he would never have gone to one of their my-parents-are-away-and-there’s-a-murderer-on-the-loose parties anyway.
But he had gone. And it hadn’t been a dream.
He had nearly died. Had nearly died there in That House, nearly died with the rest of them. It had been Officer Coulson who saved him.
And Ophelia, who had saved him before that.
In most of his nightmares in the years since That Night, that’s one of the images that replays the most: Ophelia standing over him, the knife in her hand slick with blood -not her own in this case, at least. The blood on her skin, her clothes, drip-dripping on her boots…that had been hers.
He sees this now: Ophelia from That Night, feral and red, saving their lives. He can smell it: the blood, the smells of someone else’s house, the fear. He can feel it: the ache in his body, the throbbing between his eyes, the stickiness between his fingers. The rapid pounding of his heart. The copper taste in his mouth. The certainty that he wouldn’t make it out of this house again.
And suddenly, it all falls away.
Fitz jerks upright in bed, panting and sweaty, shaky and desperate. He puts up a hand instinctively, the way he had done That Night, when it had been a last-ditch effort to stop himself from being hurt again. It wouldn’t have helped, not then. And not now.
Now, of course, there’s nothing to fight against. He’s in his bedroom, the dull early morning light starting to spill across the floor through the slots in the blinds. The sheets are bunched around his waist, his chest bare and sticky with sweat, his breathing the only sound in the room.
Fitz exhales slowly, laying back against the pillow and scrubbing a hand across his face.
His hands are shaking. This is not the first time he’s woken up just like this and he knows it won’t be the last. There are pills in the medicine cabinet, waiting there in their shiny orange plastic bottles for him to shake them into his hand, to swallow them down with water from the sink. He has, many times, desperate to dull the edges. It doesn’t always help but-
The bathroom door swings open and Fitz nearly jumps out of his skin, startling upright, just barely managing to swallow down the cry in his throat. He exhales slowly through his teeth when Ophelia turns to look at him. “Jesus Christ.”
“Did you forget I was here?” Ophelia asks, her tone mostly teasing, slightly hurt.
Fitz shakes his head, leaning against the headboard of the bed. “No,” he says but it’s a lie because he had forgotten but he thinks if circumstances had been different that, upon waking, the first thing he thought about would have been Ophelia and how she had spent the night curled in bed beside him.
They had both been too afraid, though they might never have admitted it, to sleep alone in their separate apartments.
“I just…” Fitz looks at her apologetically, trying to find the words. “I wasn’t thinking clearly.”
Ophelia nods, climbing into bed beside him. They’re close, closer than they had been when they’d gone to sleep last night. He had kissed her quickly, briefly, hours before, his actions more hopeful and full of longing than actual intention. She had held his hands in hers, entangled their fingers, but had done nothing more. And he had listened to her last night as she had fallen asleep, the sound of her breathing in the darkness, imagining how it might be to hear it every night.
But now, now it seems different between them. More intentional, deliberate. Ophelia, close to him, wearing an oversized shirt of his from his college, a pair of his gym shorts from high school. He wants to touch her and Fitz thinks Ophelia knows this too.
“A nightmare,” Ophelia says softly, her eyes settling on his. “I have those too.” She smiles faintly. “Not last night, at least.”
Fitz shakes his head. “No,” he agrees. “Not last night.”
Not until this morning, when he was alone again.
“Do you want to talk about it?” Ophelia asks and he can hear the warring tones in her words: the honest willingness, the desperate hope that he won’t mention it at all.
He does want to talk to her, to talk to the only person who truly understands what he sees in his mind.
But at the same time-
Fitz shakes his head. “No,” he says softly.
To her credit, Ophelia doesn’t look relieved. She only nods, turning her body so that she’s angled toward him, closer. She moves and Fitz shifts almost without thinking, ready to meet her, as though they’ve somehow rehearsed this.
Ophelia settles herself in his lap, her knees bracketing his hips and when she looks down at him, Fitz feels his heart stutter, feels his body become awash with heat and longing and love and desperation for her. Not just in this moment, he thinks, but desperation for her in every single moment that will come after this one. A need so powerful he knows he’ll never shake it, regardless of what happens.
Ophelia takes his face gently in her hands and all Fitz can do is stare at her, reverent and unable to breathe. “Do you remember,” she says softly, “the last time we saw each other?”
Fitz nods, knowing that she doesn’t mean the day before at the studio. But the months before, when they had slept together and he had left because she reminded him too much of everything he was trying to forget and it had somehow been easier to slip out the door then just admit he needed her.
He didn’t want to need her. It would have been too hard.
But Fitz has to admit he needs her now. He wants her. He wants to need her.
Fitz lifts his head and kisses her, covering her hands with his own, listening to the beating of his heart in his ears as he kisses her. And she kisses him. And he moves one hand to the small of her back, feeling the heat of her skin through his shirt, feeling the way her back curves beneath his palm.
The memories of That Night fade away to the back of his mind, replaced by the sounds and sensations of the moment he’s living it now. How Ophelia kisses his skin, presses her nails into his shoulders, pants out his name as he thrusts inside her. How it feels to have her in his arms, against his chest. How she runs her fingers across the scars on his stomach and back without stopping to question where they came from, without needing to hear this exciting and tragic backstory, as others have before her. And how he does the same with her own scars, kissing the hollow of her throat and the scar across her clavicle, the one against the expanse of her stomach, the one that curves across her hip as he kisses his way down to the space between her thighs. She already knows where his scars came from. He already knows how she got hers. He hardly notices them as he uses his tongue and fingers to make her fall apart beneath him.
Later, with Ophelia in his arms and her head on his chest, Fitz thinks he could fall asleep again and sleep, unbothered, for the first time in recent memory.
But instead he says, “Do you want some breakfast?” as he cards his fingers through her hair.
Ophelia lifts her head to look at him. “You’re going to cook for me?”
Fitz shrugs, feeling sheepish. “I’m going to try,” he admits.
Ophelia follows him into the kitchen once she’s redressed in his clothes and Fitz figures they have to look pretty similar, both in the drab grey of his college, with messy hair and still flushed skin.
Ophelia sits on the counter, holding a glass of orange juice in her hands as she watches him cook eggs and bacon, bread browning in the toaster beside her. Fitz tries not to watch her, fearing that the food will become a lost cause if he pays too much attention to her instead.
“Are you sure you don’t want to talk about it?” Ophelia asks suddenly and now Fitz does look at her, surprised. “The nightmare.”
Fitz opens his mouth to assure her that’s the last thing he wants to think about but he stops, studying her eyes. “Do you want to talk about it?” He asks instead. “Did you-”
Ophelia shrugs. “I usually do.”
“You should have woken me up,” Fitz tells her, putting his hand briefly on her bare knee.
Another shrug. “You woke up pretty soon afterward anyway,” she tells him. “I guess we were having the same dream.”
Fitz wrinkles his nose. “I hope not.”
Ophelia looks at the glass in her hands, her brow furrowing slightly. “I dream about Stephanie a lot,” she says softly. “How it happened…how she…” She looks up at Fitz. “I can’t forget it.”
Fitz nods, swallowing. He flips a few pieces of bacon on the skillet but he’s not feeling particularly hungry anymore. “I know,” he says. “I can’t either. Not Stephanie,” he hadn’t been there for that part, “but the others.”
It’s been three years but he thinks That Night will always feel like it had happened only yesterday.
“And this note…” Ophelia swallows and Fitz knows she’s thinking of what he is: the letter in her purse, the promise that she’ll be the last one before all this is over. Officer Coulson, gone already. They’re the only two left after That Night, someone’s idea of unfinished business. “I can’t stop thinking about it.”
Fitz turns off the oven, leaving the food to finish on its own. He turns toward Ophelia, his hands on her knees once more, mostly just because he needs to touch her, to connect. “Don’t worry about that,” he tells her. “Nothing is going to happen. To me or to you, okay? That’s just some asshole trying to be funny.”
Ophelia nods, setting her glass aside. “I’m sure you’re right.” But he can hear it in her voice: she knows that he isn’t. “It’s just…after what happened with Officer Coulson it doesn’t feel like a coincidence and I don’t know if I can do this again, Leopold.” Her eyes settle on his. “I know I can’t.”
“You don’t have to,” Fitz assures her again, his voice more forceful this time. “That’s not what this is, okay?” He wants to kiss her, settles for taking her hands again, threading their fingers together. “It’s over.”
Even though it doesn’t feel that way.
Even though Fitz is certain it never will be over.
Though, he’s always felt content about one thing at least: outside of his mind, The Night had been exactly that, a single night. Over, aside from the memories.
Ophelia’s hands settle on his shoulders, her fingers brushing lightly against the nape of his neck. “I just feel-”
The toaster on her other side chimes suddenly, the toast popping up with a swish of gears. Ophelia jumps and starts laughing immediately, tipping her head back and covering her face with her hands. Fitz grins, shaking his head, absurdly relieved for the sudden break in tension.
He’s not sure he wanted to hear what she was going to say next.
“I’m being ridiculous,” Ophelia says around her laughter, shaking her head at herself. “We’re being ridiculous, aren’t we?”
Fitz shrugs, still smiling. “Maybe a little.”
“Okay, enough melodrama,” Ophelia declares, sliding off the counter, pressing herself against him for a brief moment before turning away, slipping out of his arms. “I thought you were going to make me breakfast.”
Fitz gets the plates out of the counter, hands one to her with an unnecessary flourish. “Your wish is my command.”
They smile at each other and Fitz can’t shake the feeling that they’re both pretending that everything is fine and dandy. That neither of them actually feel that way at all.
