"in my next life, I think I'll become a fool for my daughter"

"Lovie, can you stay with Minjee? I'm just going to the mall with Minjung to get new shoes and a few other stuff for the baby" you tell your husband who is currently on the sofa resting.

It's around that time again when you're counting down the days until the new baby comes, this time the two of you choose to keep the gender a surprise. You won't find out until you give birth. There's an on going bet in your household whether it'll be a girl or a boy.

"Why don't I come with him? You sure you okay to go out?" he asks, watching you struggle putting on your shoes. He chuckles before walking toward you, kneeling down to put it on for you even double tying the shoelaces just to be sure.

"It's okay, besides the doctor said it's healthy to walk around. And we both know it'll be easier to look after Minjung then Jee" you laugh, your husband agreeing with you

"She's the main character, we're all just living in her world" he says

You smile at Mark, giving him a kiss before getting your purse and keys.

"Call me if you need anything" he tells you

"Minjung, let's go" you shout, your son appears from the staircase ready to go

"You already know, buddy. Take care of mom, okay? Call me if something happens" he gives his son a quick hug before watching the two of you drive away

The two of you finished the errands and is now getting a quick snack before heading home. You like having one on one time with your kids. It helps you keep a closer relationship with them. And even though you know the two siblings get along very well, you still make it a point to spend time with them one by one. And so does Mark.

"Is there anything else you need, buddy?" you ask your son

He shakes his head, taking a bite of his sandwich. You smile watching him, it feels just like yesterday you were sitting in the backseat with newborn Minjung in the baby car seat on your way home from the hospital and now he's 13.

"How do you feel about getting another sibling?"

He looks at you, it's like looking at Mark's eyes. They same round, adorable chocolate eyes you love so much.

"Excited. It'll be cool if it's a boy. I'll teach him to play basketball and bike. It's okay too if it's a girl" he shrugs

"You know mommy and daddy loves you very very much"

"I know, I love you too" he smiles back at you

When you get home, Minjee welcomes you excitedly asking if you got her a cakepop which Minjung hands over to his sister

"Wah thank you, oppa! Dad look oppa got me a pink cakepop!" she screams excitedly, running to wherever Mark is. You and Minjung follow her, Mark in the kitchen getting dinner ready

"Cool, but you can have that after dinner okay? Na uh don't give me that look, missy. I ordered chicken just like you asked" the father-daughter banter continues

The two siblings help set up the table while you stay in the kitchen with Mark, "How did it go?" Mark asks you

"Good, we had fun. You sound like you had fun too" you joked

"I swear she knows how to make me says yes" he mumbles, you walk towards him, giving him a side hug

"You love her" you tell him with a chuckle and a kiss on the jaw

"That I do. I'd do anything for our kids" he says, looking down at you. He kisses you on the nose, eliciting giggles from you before breaking away

"Okay, dinner time!"

After dinner and everyone finished with their night time routines, it's finally time to call it a night.

You lay on your side of the bed, getting the pregnancy pillow ready

"Can I keep that after?" Mark asks, you watch him step out of the shower. Towel hanging on his hips while he dries his hair with another

"No" you tell him with a tight smile, Mark laughs before walking towards the dresser to get clothes

"Oh come on, let me enjoy the view some more"

"Woman, you are already pregnant" he tells you, playfully throwing the towel he was drying his hair with towards you. He puts on his sleeping shorts, leaving the shirt behind. He goes out the room to check all doors before going to bed

He turns towards you, the two of you face to face.

"Just a few more days and it'll be five of us" he whispers. His hand resting on your belly

"I'm calling it, this one will look like you again" you tell him

"You love us"

"That I do, I love you and all versions of you. Especially the little humans we made" you smile at him. He scoots closer to kiss you. Kissing you on the lips then on your cheeks a few time until you were laughing.

"Okay, time to rest. Goodnight, baby. I love you" he tells you

"Love you"

Minjung woke up to something poking his back, groggily looking to see Minjee

"Jee? What?"

The girl hiccups, still crying. This woke Minjung up more, sitting up on his bed and turning the bedside light on,

"Why are you crying? Did you have a bad dream?" he asks

"Will mom and dad not let me live here when the baby comes?" she asks, her tiny voice breaking

"What? of course not" her brother immediately answers. He gets out from under the blanket to hug his sister, wiping a few tears running down her face

"When you were born, I was so excited. Dad took me to the hospital to meet you. You had this big bow on, you were crying a lot too" he tells her

"You were there?" she asks

Minjung smiles "Yea, dad even helped me to carry you. You were really tiny. When the new baby comes, we'll go together to meet them"

"Will you still play with me when they come?"

"Of course I will, we're bestfriends right? You gave me this" he says, showing the beaded bracelet Minjee made for him. Similar to what she's wearing.

"You promise? You'll still get me cakepops?"

"Of course, pinkypromise"

The two siblings lock pinky fingers, the younger one finally smiling.

"Wait here okay?" Minjung says before going out of his room and carefull walking towards his parents bedroom. Knocking lightly before going in.

He walks towards Mark's sleeping figure, tapping him awake

"Huh what wha huh?? Minjung? Are you okay? What's happening?" Mark asks, sitting up immediately

"What time is it?" he asks, looking for his phone to see it's 2am

"Minjee woke up crying, she's in my room now"

Mark stands up carefully, looking over at your sleeping figure before quickly putting on a shirt and walking out with Minjung

"She okay? bad dream?"

"No uh it's about the new baby"

His son didn't need to elaborate anymore, already getting a hint why his babygirl was crying.

When the two walks back to Minjung's room, Jee still sitting there.

"Hey, Jee. Come on, dad will come with you. Goodnight buddy, thank you for being a good brother" Mark tells his eldest, kissing him on the head before stepping out of the room with the younger one

"Do you want warm milk before going back to bed?" Mark asks the 6 year old girl, getting a no from her

When they get to Minjee's room, the two sat on the bed

"Are you sad right now?" Mark asks his daughter

"Will you still love Jee when the baby comes?" Jee asks and Mark crumbles

"Oh my girl, of course I will. I'll love you longer than forever and that's a long long long time. You'll always be my princess. Even after the new baby comes, mom and dad might need to spend more time with them but that doesn't mean we love you and your brother any less" he tucks her hair behind her ear, pinching her cute round cheeks she definitely got from you.

"Can dad have a hug?" he opens his arms, Minjee scooting in her father's embrace

"Always remember, dad loves you so so much. I'd give you the moon and all the stars if you want. If you ever feel sad you can come and talk to me okay?"

He feels the younger one nod. Tucking her in bed, giving her a kiss on the forehead before calling it a night (again)

When he gets back to your room, he slides under the sheets then he feels you search for him

"Min?" you mumble

"Here, baby. Go to sleep" he leans over to give your temple a kiss. He sees a sleepy smile on your lips before your heads goes down on the pillow again.

Just like that everyone was asleep again, but before he fades into dreamland he says a silently thank you to heaven for this life. Ready and excited to face tomorrow with his family.

Hi! If you still take requests can you do a bf christian pulisic headcanons please? I don’t see a lot of them for him 🥺

christian as a boyfriend ❣️

would always keep a hand on you every where you go. his love language is touch, so it can be, holding ur hand in public, on ur thigh, when your sleeping a hand around ur waist, a hand on your butt when he becomes possessive bc ik he is.

he kisses you softly, a hand on you hip and the other one resting on your cheek. as much as you love his gentle and soft kisses, you can’t help but enjoy the heated ones as well.

his heated kisses where he starts kissing ur neck all the way up to ur jaw, kissing the corners of your mouth before connecting your lips together. he especially loves bitting ur bottom lip and pulling it back, watching as you blush beneath his touch, his hand slightly around your throat with the smallest pressure. “god baby look at you. so pretty for me.”

bf!christian where he takes pictures of you secretly every where you are. you could be simply washing dishes or cooking but there he is with his phone. when grocery shopping and ur picking our sweets and crisps, you driving, you dancing freely to music. when you’d ask him he would shrug it off. “took it while you weren’t looking.”

during important events, he would spoil you, sometimes hiring a makeup and hairstylist for you, buying you a new pair of heels and dress. surprising you with a pair of earring and a necklace with his initial bc ur his. “don’t take it off. everyone needs to know ur mine, and only mine.”

i just know he’d be possessive about you in every aspect. you making small convo with the man at the bakery and he’s just there looking at him with a smug. at the gym where he towers you and covers you from anyone’s view. when taking a mirror selfie he places a hand around ur waist or on your boob. “gotta remind them, that’s all.”

on a rainy day he’s extra snuggly. you’d spend your day cleaning and then lay on the couch. make cookies and light his favorite candle. as much as he loves being big spoon, he feel safe and sound in ur arms. christian’s head on your chest while you draw small shapes on his back.

he knows how anxious you can get especially when it’s a place that’s super crowded so he’d tell you to trace his tattoos, and kissing ur temple every now and then. “trace them baby. distract yourself from them. it’s just me and you... i love you prettygirl.”

he’s a super private person like you, so date nights at home are special to him. you teaching him how to cut the vegetables required, telling him to mix the food in the pan/ pot. when everything is done, he grabs ur hand and brings you into him, dancing softly in the kitchen, hearing him sing to you.

when visiting the states, he takes you on his boat, spending the whole day swimming, reading, playing chess bc he taught you, and then helping him grill (bc he’s a grilling dad at heart). you would take pictures of him in the sunset, lay together with a blanket keeping you warm, and kiss him bc you truly can’t help it. “so handsome baby. cant get enough of you…”

christian bf where he gives you his jersey to wear and expect you to show it off. it drives him insane, especially when ur hair is up and it gives him a view of you small ear tattoo and on your neck as well. when ur alone he would definitely kiss them and just be in a horny mood. “yk how much i love when ur hair is up y/n… especially with my name on ur back. ur killing me out there.”

when the two of you can’t sleep, you spend hours discussing ur futures together. the two of you sacrificing to stay together, so anywhere he goes you go. talks about having kids, owning a ranch looking home, a big dog to protect you and the kids when he isn’t home. taking more vacations, to places YOU want to go to. “anything and anywhere you want, baby. you name it and i’ll give it to you.”

bf christian where he kisses your knuckles randomly, and you blushing bc it causes you off guard.

when he sleep you just fall deep in concentration at his beautiful face. ur eyes drawing back and forth from his small scars, to his freckles which you adore. the moles, the faint wrinkles, his stubble 😵‍💫

you begging him not to shave but he still does so bc he loves seeing you all pouty and moody. “sorry baby, but i just hate it.”

getting a tattoo that’s sort of dedicated to you. and when he finally tells you he’s just laughing at ur shocked face.

i just know when he’s drunk, he’s constantly wanting attention, doing things to show off, making you laugh by his dad jokes, and just being all soft and gentle. “baby watch this… i bet you haven’t heard this one… just hold me, need to feel you against me…”

him just praising you for everything, “good girl princess… being such a good girl for me… look at you baby, doing so good for me…”

him handing you his hoodies bc of how easily you get cold. knowing he gets mad when you stick ur cold toes in his warm skin, groaning at the contact. “baby! no pls stop… it feels cold.”

christian bf where he buys you the book you add to ur wishlist and when you’d ask how he knew, he would confess that he just knows. but since he loves spoiling you, he would look through that list specifically.

CHRISTIAN WEARING JEWELRY 😵‍💫😵‍💫 a watch specifically, or rings and it makes you go insane.

bc christian purposely wearing no shirt when around you, watching how you get all shy and innocent, but you just adore his back muscles, and his abs. dragging your small hand around his soft and warm skin, knowing he will get goosebumps.

bf christian having to wake up early for training, so he leaves notes for you reminding you how much he loves you, stuff you need for the house, or that he left coffee/ breakfast for you.

bf christian always being down to watch old movies with you. but instead of watching the movies he just pays attention to your eyes growing wide at ur favorite scenes or lines, ur smiles growing wide, holding you when you hysterically cry at certain scenes.

christian bf becoming so sad and scared that he’s going to lose you one day, even crying bc he never wants to let you go. “i can’t help it baby. if you were to ever leave idk if i could cope without you. pls promise me you won’t leave me? ever? i love you babygirl. want you all to myself.”

these are all i could come up with for now :( but i want to make another one bc i enjoyed making this one!! sorry if it’s short but this is how i picture bf christian 🤭❣️

TBB S3E8 - Reactions

- Poor Echo—he really is not getting any screen time is he

- Crosshair’s look of concern when he tells Omega she should be staying away from Rex and Echo 😭

- Okay Omega’s guilt is so clouding her judgement at this point. Poor kid really thinks it’s her fault that all those clones died—no baby girl, the shadow assassin would have gone there anyway whether you were there or not. My heart aches for her

- Hunter 🤝 Crosshair: keep Omega safe at all costs.

- Hunter’s lil “come on” head tilt 🤩

- PHEE!!!! I have been waiting for you!!!

- Crosshair: Who!?! 😶 PRICELESS. EXACTLY WHAT I EXPECTED FROM HIM MEETING HER 🤣🤣🤣

- Not Omega serving as the narrative admitting that Phee is, in fact, much to our dismay, a pirate 🏴‍☠️

- I’M GETTING BOTH MY GIRLS BACK IN ONE EPISODE

- Just slipping a Tech mention in there, why don’t you stop ripping my heart out

- Fennec!!!

- And Cross has the same reaction to Fennec 😆 —he’s finally starting to learn about the life that his family has lived during their time apart

- Hunter being in full dad mode and also being very perceptive about Crosshair hiding his hand issues. He may not always be able to say this about himself, but Hunter admitting that ignoring something won’t make the problem go away is huge growth from him.

- Thank goodness Hunter can pilot. This would be a very short season otherwise

- Cool space station

- I love when Star Wars is grimy city underbellies and neon lights 🤩

- The guys look SO GOOD in purple. Jus sayin

- As does Fennec (Queen that she is)

- I’d let those boys hem me in a booth anytime

- Ming-Na Wen is really pulling out all the stops for Fennec’s voice

- Hunter in neon bar lighting is something so personal to me

- “Ruined one of my scores” lol Fennec is salty tonight

- “More than you’ve got” she doesn’t even know how much they have on them but she knows it’s not enough 🤣 but also where is that 30k credits that Omega won?? They could have used that?

- “We made a deal. I’m going to keep it as long as you hold up your end”

- “Ten? For THAT? That’s what I thought”

- Gosh that water looks nasty

- Wet helmet Hunter instead of WET HAIR HUNTER??? Fffffffsssss Jennifer *clicks tongue in disappointment*

- That is so many mines

- “Close doesn’t count” 🥺

- It’s really interesting to me that this show has been focused solely on the Batch as a family this season. We’ve been on Pabu multiple times and have seen hardly any other residents, no one trying to be neighborly or prying (even though we know Shep has tried to make sure Crosshair is comfortable). The focus is on the Batch themselves this time, not their dynamic with the outside world.

- “You don’t like anything” “true” at least he’s self aware by now lol

- Batcher’s like “you like meeee!”

- Hunter’s senses are back baybee

- Never knew I needed to see Wrecker yeeting space alligators until today. Glorious. Straight up punching them in the face 🤣🤣🤣

- Ohhhh Wrecker giving back her sass blow for blow!

- “So what happened with the kid?”

- I will die on the hill that Fennec cares about Omega deep down

- “Just…seems odd. Considering our past”

- Love that the atmosphere on this planet is orange and it’s Fennec’s episode

- “They thought Omega would be safer with you guys. Guess they were wrong about that” she is not pulling any punches

- “Money’s not everything” you right boy

- “That’s because you don’t have any” phewww 🤣🤣🤣

- Pulling the blaster across the throat in a kill motion?? Hunter what are you doing to me right now 🥵

- “Pretty much” lolol

- This dude is so creepy looking. Giant bug eyes were not what I was expecting

- “You heard me!!” Oh Wrecker is done, done

- Man this guy does not go down easy.

- Bug spit. Nuff said

- “I doubt that” oh Cross, honey, I know, I get it

- THEY HELD HANDS

- I REPEAT SHE HELD HIS HAND

- Sorry I’m having Kenobi show Obi-Wan and Leia handhold flashbacks 😭😭😭😭

- Okay okay I’m back. I think.

- “You’ve missed a lot” “I know”

- Okay just rip my heart out why don’t you

- That is one of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen

- Pointy finger scrunched brow Hunter is the best Hunter

- “You can either fight me or trust me. Good choice” 😮‍💨

- Hunter getting tipped off that ramp is uh…is ummm…doing something to me. What, I’m not sure 👀🫠

- I also find it really interesting that they’ve barely had us on the Marauder at all this season. Foreshadowing?

- Both Fennec and Phee make the same two fingered salute to the boys after talking to them. Cute.

- Ohhhhh is she…is she selling them out?? Who is she talking to? Cad?

- Wait no she wouldn’t pass them over to someone else if any money could be gained on her side. I bet she’s talking to Ventress. I really wanna know how those two know each other 👀

- Wow. Things are really going to get interesting from here. Can’t wait.

In The Name of Love | Chapter 33

Previous chapter | Next chapter

Masterlist

Congratulations on that goal, bro 😊

Thank you, Pepi 😊 How is your injury?

I may start training next week

Oh, that's great!  Miss seeing you on the pitch  How is your other injury?

🤨

The one in your heart

So poetic, Ferran 😂

But that one is the same, not healing

And it will probably never will

Don't say that, Pedri

It's the truth

I should have fought for us instead of breaking up with Val

Now she has moved on and we will never get back together 

How many times do I have to tell you that she hasn't moved on, Pedro? 🙄 She still loves you 

That's what you say

Because it is the truth, you idiot Yes, she has good days where she is the Val we all know and love, she is healing  But she also has others where she just cries and doesn't want to leave the house And that's because she still loves you

Oh, great. So I still am making her feel like shit

Pedri… 🙄

🤷🏻‍♂️

Anyway… Did you know that she and her mum made up?

How am I supposed to know that? 

I don't know, maybe Marina or David had told you I know you keep talking with them 

I do, but they haven't mentioned it

How did that miracle happen?

It was all thanks to that amazing girlfriend of mine ☺️

Ana?

Yep Val and her mum had had an argument, the usual between them. And while talking about it Ana suggested that maybe her mum had always wanted for Val to settle down and find a good job, a good husband and start a family, because she didn't want her to go through the same she went through Because she didn't want her to end up alone with a baby and her career and dreams ending too soon like had happened to her

Oh… I had never thought about that

Neither had she

It makes sense tho

She was protecting her and just wanted the best for her

Though she could have done it better, tbh

Like with better manners

Yeah…  And that's why she said she didn't like you despite knowing the feelings you and Val have for each other She didn't want her to get hurt

I still hurt her, tho

That was just a little bump on the road

Yeah, one that ended up with Val in the hospital 

Pedri, for the millionth time: stop blaming yourself for that

I'll try…

You better 😠

But then Val and her mum are good? 

They still are working on it, but things have improved a lot So if they've been able to fix things, so will you

It isn't that easy, Ferran

I fucked up

Yes, you did But you still love her, right?

Of course I do

Well, she loves you too, so 💃🏼 And besides, you are meant to be together

Doesn't look like it… 😔

You are, Pedri Don't give up, ok?

Ok…

DON'T GIVE UP

Ok, no need to yell 😂

I needed to make sure you heard me Manchester isn't close to Barcelona, you know?

I know

But Ferran…

Yes, Pepi? 

Do you really think she will come back?

Like, over there no one knows her and she can have a normal life

Here, on the other hand… 

It won't be that easy, no But what doesn't kill you makes you stronger like the song says, and that's what has happened with Val Her home is in Barcelona with her family, all her friends, and she's gonna go back there and fight for a certain kid she is madly in love with and WHO CAN'T GIVE UP ON THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE EITHER, OK?

Ok, message received 😂

What about you, tho?

Will you ever come back to Barcelona?

I don't know, bro I'm loving the red side of Manchester, it's better than the blue one

Yeah, the red side and a certain redhead too 😏😂

😏

I'm glad you found someone, Ferran

You deserve to be happy 🤍

Thank you, Pepi 🥺

Will you EVER stop calling me that? 🙄

I know you only like it when it is Val the one saying it but… no ☺️ And speaking of Val… DON'T GIVE UP ON HER

I heard you the first time, Ferran 🙄

Just wanted to be sure Because she wants you back, Pedri So you know what to do…

Don't give up

Exactly 💪🏻

━━━━━━❃━━━━━━

"Oh, Val, I'm gonna miss you so much" Ana says while hugging me.

"I will miss you too."

"Are you sure you don't want to stay with us for a bit longer?"

"I'm sure. You and Ferran deserve some alone time, I've bothered you enough."

"You haven't bothered us, Val" he says. "But yeah, you are right. We deserve some time alone. I'm tired of having to always wear clothes around the house and close the bathroom's door when I want to pee."

"Ferran!" Ana says.

"It's ok, don't worry" I laugh. 

"What are your plans now?" he asks me.

"I want to take my mum somewhere for the holidays, have like some proper mother-daughter time now that it looks like we've fixed things."

"Aww, that's lovely" Ana says.

"I also want to go somewhere with Marina and David to thank them for always being there for me. And I have to pay my cousin a visit and meet her baby."

"So family time" she smiles.

"Exactly" I smile back.

"And the school?" Ferran asks. "Are you going back?"

"I am. These months away have reminded me why I love teaching so much. Why, despite all the ups and downs, it is all worth it. And I miss Emma, Beth and Luis so much… They are like my second or third family."

"Third. We go first" Ferran says. "But I am so glad to hear that, Val." 

"Me too" Ana says, giving me another hug. "And about you know who… What are you going to do?"

"He still loves you and wants you back, you know?"

"I know, Ferran. You've reminded me of it many times over the past few months" I chuckle. 

"And you also love him and want him back."

"I do. Now that I feel like myself again and also stronger physically, mentally and emotionally, I want to fight for him. For us. Now more than ever I know that I want to spend the rest of my life with him. But I don't want to rush anything, you know? I want to let things flow and let it happen when it has to happen."

"You are letting destiny do its work." 

"That's it, yes. You all say we are destined to be together, so…" I shrug.

"You are, Val" Ana says. "I've not known you and Pedri for that long, and I probably didn't meet you at the best moment in your relationship… but I know true love when I see it."

"Awww, look at her going all cheesy" Ferran says.

"Oh, shut up" she replies, rolling her eyes.

"I'm gonna miss you, guys" I say, trying not to cry.

"We will miss you too, Val" Ana says.

"Group hug?" Ferran asks, opening his arms.

"Fine" I sigh.

"I love you so much, girls" he says while squeezing us. "Not in the same way, but you know what I mean."

"Love you too" Ana and I reply.

All I Want for Christmas 🦢for yan Shoto where he sends his childhood friend gifts. Imagining it’s almost Christmas and he sends the her a beautiful necklace and that’s when he makes them his.?

♡ Need ♡

(A/N: Childhood friend trope is the best!!! I hope you like this, I think that he would definitely give his darling the most lavish and expensive gifts he possibly could 🥺🥺💘)

Content Warning ⚠️: Yandere, childhood friends, fluff, kidding at the end, obsessiveness

Summary: Todoroki has always loved you and he’s finally decided to tell you (Yan!Todoroki x GN!reader)

Holiday Event ➸ ♡

Masterlist ➸ ♡

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

Shoto had been in love with you for years. He had fallen in love with you when you both were children and he was still in love with you to this day. He never even thought of anyone else because he had you. Even if he was to cowardly to admit his feelings for you. He felt brave enough now to at least try.

He was always scared of ruining your friendship if he ever told you how in love he was with you. It was all he thought about. All he thought about was you. He had made a while list of things to get you for Christmas so he can gift you something before confessing.

He was going to show you exactly how much he really loved you with specific gifts he got for you that he knew you would want or loved. He wants you to feel special and loved when you’re with him.

Shoto waits anxiously as he waits for you to open up the present he had handed you. He knew it looked quite small but he had picked it out specifically for you. It was a necklace.

It was simple, he knew, but it was one that had immediately caught your eye. However you refused to get it, saying it was way to expensive and that you didn’t really need it. But he knew how much you wanted it.

Plus, Shoto could use it to his advantage. He had payed to have a tracking device put into the piece of jewelry. And while it may seem creepy, Shoto really means well. He wants to keep you safe.

“Shoto, this was so expensive!” You saw upon seeing the necklace you had been eyeing the other day. Not exactly the response he expected, but it was sweet of you to worry about the price he spent on it. He would buy anything, no matter how expensive, if he suspected that you wanted it.

“Do you not like it?” He asks, although the tone in his voice is calm he worries. “No, no, I love it! I just- you shouldn’t spend so much money on me” you say, smiling sweetly at him. You were just so adorable, weren’t you?

Shoto stays silent for a moment. He couldn’t keep wondering if you liked him back. He needs you to be his, you two have been friends your whole life. He needed you to be his. “Y/n, be mine” He says simply, watching your face go from shock to confusion in under a second.

Shoto doesn’t think for another second before pulling into a kiss. Finally feeling your lips against his for the first time. He’s been dreaming about this moment for years. And, god, it was so much better than he could’ve ever imagined.

He loved you and he needed you to be his.

jackharlow Our anniversary was two weeks ago, we’ve been super busy so we didn’t really plan anything. Little did I know my wife had something up her sleeve. She made sure I flew out to Cabo and then she surprised me with this at the beach. We spend a little weekend gateway, now we’re on our way to our kids. I love you more than words can say baby, you make me the happiest man alive. Thank you for this life and for our beautiful children. I can’t wait to see what’s next for The Harlow family 💜

thank you for the tag Pookie!! @feelbokkie

Get To Know Me!

❣ Who is your favorite Kpop group?

Stray Kids is my main group, but I'm also dabbling in some others, like Ateez, Big Bang, iKon, Enhypen, Astro, The Boyz, NewJeans, BlackPink, BTS/Jungkook. (One OK Rock & The Rose are also heavily loved but idk if they qualify as Kpop or not?)

❣ Which member sparked your interest first?

I think my answer is the same as nearly every other Stay out there.... Lee Felix Yongbok.

he's just such a sweet lil cinnamon roll with the voice of a devil. his smile got me first, cause hello? look at it and tell me you aren't melting!!?? (being considered the embodiment of sunshine by all my close friends/family of course only heightened the adoration I had for him). I truly and utterly adore him sm 😊

❣ Who was your first bias?

Han Jisung, obviously 🙄🙄 smooth lil bitch that he is..

I mean, look at this smol bean :(

He is absolutely adorable, and he held my heart for such a long period of time before Binnie came along out of nowhere and shut that shit down LOL

it's almost like I convinced myself Han was my bias and Changbin was my number 1 bias wrecker, when in reality, it was the complete opposite. Bin has always been #1 with Han fighting for his chance in #2.

❣ Who is your current bias?

I think I've made it abundantly clear over the last few days 6 months lmao help who my heart truly belongs to, and it's this fucking dude right here omg.

juST LOOK AT HIM!! Boba eyes, curly hair, plushy lips 🥺🥺

I just wanna hold him😭😭

I denied it for so so SO LONGGGGG and I'm so ashamed that I did because the moment I was like "fuck, yeah, this is the one," I felt like I could breathe properly for the first time since becoming a STAY LOL.

I had a little dramatic moment with a Chan Bias Friend of mine about the whole ordeal (thank you again for Syd for holding me through that crisis bc lord it was a big one!), and told her that I feel like I've been wearing beer goggles for my entire journey as a STAY and I just now took them off, and the world seems so much clearer now.. everything makes so much more sense LOL. We always talk about how your bias is most like you and your wrecker is what you look for most in a partner, but it's the complete opposite for me. Changbin truly has my entire heart and I could not be happier knowing it's him that's protecting it

❣ What makes them your bias?

This is a loaded question, but I'll try to explain it as clear and concise as possible.

I fucking adore this man.

So so fucking much.

It's so true that you don't find Stray Kids in your time of need, they find you. Changbin found me. 6 months or so ago, I had an "oh shit" moment where I kind of realized that it's been Binnie all along, but I wanted to deny it and stay loyal to Han because he was my first and I was determined to keep him as my #1.. but after my Binnie moment, I started going HARD. I watched everything. interviews, skz-codes, live performances, tiktoks, vlogs, skz-talkers, the entirety of Kingdom LW then all the way back to music videos and the bts for the mv's. I became obsessed, not just with all of the members, but with Binnie. His personality is so so sweet and so genuine and so raw that I couldn't help but gravitate towards him. His duality, his personality, his stage presence. It was overwhelming in the best way possible. He's become such a safe space for me over the course of the last year and a half that I've been apart of the STAY community and been a fan of the group. His encouraging words, his gentle and loving presence, his loud and confident personality. All of it.

He's unknowingly helped me come to terms with my eating disorder and helped me stay on a healthy and positive path in my journey to self-love. He taught me the importance of our bodies and how to properly take care of the body you were born with. He taught me how to stick to my principles and never stray from my own beliefs, no matter what people around me have to say/do about it. He taught me how to appreciate the family I was blessed with, and that yes, sometimes it is nice to just dance with them in snow. He taught me confidence and self-acceptance in ways no trainer or therapist ever could. He's helped me accept myself, helped me realize that life is not about the journey, but who you spend the journey with. He's taught me to Never let the fear of being myself, stop me from being myself (this one is so fucking huge and so fucking important to me, you'll never understand). He is such a huge inspiration for me. I can't get over how much I love him and how much I owe to him and his existence. I see posts and tiktoks all the time about how Changbin is like everyones own personal happy pill, and he truly is.

I could go into very specific details with video timestamps, specific lyrics, tiktoks and moments where my love for him was solidified more and more, but I feel like we would be here all day and I want to keep this post short and sweet.

So yes, I adore Changbin and his presence in my life. He is truly an inspiration in so many aspects and I just cannot imagine a life without him, or the rest of SKZ, in it.

❣ Who is your bias wrecker?

For the longest time possible, it was a Seungmin. The little menace he is. It was him, and then I had a moment where I slowly starting veering off towards Minho, cause he's like, the king of menaces and Seungmin is just his little menace-in-training. Then it went back to Seungmin after watching most of Kingdom: Legendary War and seeing his performance in I'll Be Your Man and Love Poem.

THEN as of the most recent two comebacks, Hyunjin shows up and is like "hello I'm here too. I also require your attention". But truthfully, I think I've come to accept the fact that I'm a Changbin bias, but OT7 wrecked on the daily, because each and every member wrecks me in different ways.

Bangchan with his astounding hardwork and adoring personality. Lee Know as the king of menaces/ultimate butt hunter. Hyunjinnie with his passion and love for all the art and beauty in the world. Han with his dedication and lyrics that always hit so close to home. Felix for his rays of sunshine, demonic voice and heart of gold. Seungmin for his shy and guarded personality but the prince following in the King's foot steps. and INNIE?? BABY BREAD??? No baby bread ain't a baby bread anymore, he's a freakin' Daddy Toast and I'm uNWELL

Hannie definitely holds the top spot for bias wrecker (hello he was demoted from #1 so it only makes sense for him to fall to #2), but the remaining 6 are fighting for the title on a daily basis. It's very concerning LOL

❣ Which member(s) are you currently obsessing over that aren't your bias/bias wrecker?

As of right now, I cannot for the life of me get Channie out of my fucking head. Idk what it is lately, but there's just something about Chan that takes up all my attention. Maybe it's the excessive amounts of fics I've been reading and writing for him, but he's just someone who captivates your attention and absolutely requires you to keep it on him. It's frustrating but I'm also not complaining.

❣ When did you first discover this group?

I first heard of SKZ by the boyfies little sister who is a die hard kpop fan. When I first met her when she was 11 or 12, she was a big fan of BTS, and I tried to bond with her over Kpop, although it was something I never thought I'd ever get into, and she was like "well, BTS isn't for everyone. Have you listened to SKZ?" and she showed me Gods Menu and like one of their early SKZ Codes, and I was like "alright, they're pretty cool. Demonic voice sunshine boi, fast rapper #1, fast rapper #2, maniacal little puppy, ethearal fairie who likes to touch butts, best leader, tiny baby with large hands and pretty artist." but after that I didn't really give them a second thought.

Then, in January of 2023, I started a new job with my lifelong best friend who I hadn't caught up with in a long time, and she was obsessed.. she had already been apart of Stayville since maxident, and she got our other friend into them as well, so when we spent every break and lunch hour together scrolling through tiktoks and listening to her gush about how amazing these men were, I was like, alright. I'll give them a shot. If my best friend adored something so much, who am I to not give them a shot and see what all the fuss was about.

She showed me the MAMA 2022 performance and from there, I was hooked.

Thank you Kennie for bringing these losers into my life.

❣ Have you ever been to one of their concerts?

I have not. I've seen so many concert videos and tiktoks of others living out the ultimate dream and I am so so jealous. I really hope they come to Canada on their next tour. I will be absolutely devastated if they don't, but I am fully willing to road trip down to any state at any time to see them live. I will not miss another concert. I will not.

❣ What are some of your favorite songs by the group?

oh fuck.

okay uhm, lets see...

[gunilslaugh]

Hello dear how are you? ❤️

I have a small question. How would Xdinary Heroes introduce you to other members (you as their older/younger siblings) and how would the boys react to meeting you? 🥺

Have a great day!!!

Hi I'm doing good thank you :) Here's you're request I hope you have a great day as well!

All members ¡^_^¡

Summary: How Xdinary Heroes introduce you, their sibling, to the other members.

WC:~1.4k

Warning:grammar

photo not mine credits to owner.

Gunil

Gunil never really thought about introducing you to his members. You were his sibling and his members were his members, simple. However one day while filming content for Xdinary Heroes he called you for one of the missions he had to do. After that his members mentioned how it would be nice to meet you, so he called you to ask about it, to which you agreed. Gunil came to pick you up and take you to the dorm where you would meet his members.

“Are you nervous?” Gunil asked you cheekily on your walk inside their dorm building.

“No,” you scoffed. “Why would I be nervous? They’re just your members.” you said.

“Guys I’m back with y/n!” Gunil announced entering the dorm. The members began to trickle in around you, each greeting you politely.

“What’s it like having Gunil as a brother?” Jiseok asked you playfully.

“Well I don’t get to see him around much since he debuted, so it’s great,” you answered. 

“Hey!” Gunil shouts offendly, smacking you on the shoulder, causing the others to laugh. That was a pretty good ice breaker since after that you easily fell into conversations with all of them. Gunil thought that it was nice to see you getting along with his members. Looked like you gained five more brothers that day.

Jungsu

You were very supportive of your brother Jungsu’s career. Buying all of Xdinary Heroes albums and watching their content, that you would tease Jungsu about later. You were able to attend the latest showcase that they had, which led to you meeting him and his members backstage afterwards. 

“This is y/n, my sibling,” Jungsu introduced you.

“Hey, you all did a really good job,” you complimented them. 

“So you came to support Jungsu?” Seungmin questioned.

“Partly, I also came because I’m a villain. I just wanted to see you guys perform,” you revealed, slightly bashful.

“Seriously?” Jooyeon asked surprised. The rest of the members also had surprised faces too.

“Yes, I have all your albums and keep up with your content,” you told them. 

“It’s true,” Jungsu confirms. “They have our albums displayed on their bookshelf and they constantly ask me for spoilers,” he exposed you.

“What’s the point of having my brother in a group if he won’t even give me some spoilers?” You complained.

“Wow Jungsu, what a bad brother you are,” Gunil said jokingly. You stayed talking with them and becoming more acquainted before you had to go. Jungsu told you to tell your parents that he misses them and that was glad you were able to come and see them today. 

Gaon/Jiseok

Jiseok and you were siblings that were really close with one another. Jiseok would talk to you often, when he wasn’t too busy. Due to this you have already talked to some of his members over the phone before. Usually it was just a quick hello and maybe one or two follow up sentences, but you’ve never officially met them before. 

Today was different though Jiseok invited you to join him and his members for lunch. You met up with them at a park where they had ordered takeout. Jiseok got excited upon seeing you and immediately ran over to you. He just as excitedly dragged you over to his members.

“Everyone you can now officially meet y/n,” Jiseok stated gesturing towards you. You proceeded to exchange greetings with them.

“You and Jiseok seem more like friends than siblings,” Hyeongjun commented as you were all sitting down beginning to eat.

“We’ve always been close,” you responded, while nudging Jiseok with your elbow. 

“Yeah as kids we were basically inseparable,” Jiseok added.

“They he got sick of me and left to be a trainee,” you said with foe sadness. 

“You can’t say I left when I still talk to you regularly,” Jiseok sassed. The members laughed at your sibling banter. The rest of lunch went smoothly and Jiseok was pleased that you and his members got along so well. You made plans to meet up with them all again sometime.

O.de/Seungmin

Seungmin had some off time and was able to spend a week at home. It was nice to be able and spend a bit of time with your brother again. 

“It must be nice to finally have some time to relax,” you told Seungmin while you guys were having dinner. 

“Yeah it’s nice to have to worry about schedules for a bit,” he responded. 

“You must miss your members though,” you said playfully.

“I love them, but when you see someone everyday it is nice to have a little break from them,” Seungmin admitted.

“Trust me I know. I spent how many years living with you? I was glad when you first left,” you poked at him. Seungmin gave you a blank face.

“You know you would get along well with them,” he stated.

“Your members?” you checked, to which Seungmin nodded. “Introduce me then,” you told him. You said offhandedly and didn’t expect Seungmin to actually introduce you, but here you were. 

“This is my sibling y/n,” Seungmin introduces you. You were in the area where the JYPE building was located and decided to text Seungmin. He asked you to pick up some snacks and said you could also meet the members since you were here. The members greeted you and thanked you for the snacks, insisting you had some with them. Seungmin was right, you did get along well with them.

Junhan/Hyeongjun

You meeting the members was an unplanned thing. Originally you were just going out to run some errands, but when your mom found out that you’d be in the area where Hyeongjun’s dorm was located she insisted (ordered) you to bring the boys some homemade food. You texted Hyeongjun about this and set up when would be a good time for you to drop off the food. You arrived at their dorm and sent Hyeongjun a text telling him you were on your way up. The door opened shortly after you knocked revealing your brother. Hyeongjun invited you in, taking the bags of food from your hands. 

“Who’s this?” Jooyeon questioned, noticing your presence in their dorm.

“My sibling, y/n. I told you guys they would be by to drop food off, remember?” Hyeongjun said.

“That’s right. Nice to meet you,” he stuck out his hand for a shake.

“You too,” you responded politely, shaking his hand. By now the rest of the members heard about you being there and came to say hello. Spending the next bit of time chatting with the members.

“You’re sibling is cool, you should’ve introduced them sooner,” Jungsu stated. 

“Never thought about it,” Hyeongjun replied honestly. After a while you decided it was time for you to leave.

“Don’t be a stranger,” Jooyeon told you before you left.

“I won’t,” you smiled happily.

Jooyeon

You and Jooyeon were decently close as siblings. The two of you talked often, frequently checking up on one another. Xdinary Heroes were currently preparing for a comeback and Jooyeon was telling you about how exhausting it had been lately. You asked if there was anything that you could do to help. Jooyeon responded by asking if you could bring them some food, saying how they haven't had a real meal in a while due to all the preparations they were doing. It disheartened you to hear that, but quickly agreed to bringing them food, asking what they wanted. After Jooyeon responded you went to pick up the food. They were working late at the studio. You texted Jooyeon that you were there and he came out to meet you. Then he led you to the room where they all were.

“This is y/n, my sibling, and they brought us food,” Jooyeon spoke, holding up the bags of food.

“I like them already,” Jiseok stated. You let out a chuckle.

“I’m glad,” you replied and began to take out the food. You ate with them and got to know them more. You told them some stories from yours and Jooyeons’ childhood. You were glad that your brother had good members to help take care of him and Jooyeon was glad that you fit right in with them. Feeling like you were one big family.

📌— Weekly Chan ; SKZ break!

This announcement has been a long time coming but I wanted to come here and let you know that I’ll be stepping away from creating skz content for the foreseeable future.

Tbh I didn’t know how to tell everyone that I wouldn’t be drawing for them anymore. Maybe, because I found myself comfortable with the community I found myself in but my passion to create fanart for them dwindled over the past few months. I held on thinking this is a fluke, but I think it's time for me to explore other interests of mine. I wanted to stay but I found myself frustrated with feeling like I'm putting myself in a box. honestly, it was the lack of traction or how hard it was for my work to be seen that was a big factor in wanting to leave. I stand by the fact that feedback is vital for an artist's motivation to continue making the things they do. The lack of it made me question if it was even worth continuing to draw for skz bc while I love them a lot, not having my works reach a larger pool of Stays was pretty taxing. also the fact I was hidden in the basement did not help :(

Sadly, my love for Chan couldn't soothe the creative frustration I was in. So I guess it's just time to go, step outside for awhile, and explore new worlds.

As a staytist, I want to thank you for liking my art 🥺 and I hope they were able to give some comfort or healing. Most of them were made out of sheer love for the group bc for a long time Stray Kids were my home. They provided me happiness that I wanted to share too. I’ll never forget reading the nice tags and the nice asks you’ve sent my way! Thank you for welcoming me to the fandom even though I don’t interact as much.

So I want to say, please love your content creators. editors, writers, fanartists— the whole nine yards bc without them you can feel the lack of an integral part of the fandom experience. If their works make you happy and you want to see more from them: share their work, send them love and asks, comment, engage— anything that can help share their work around bc we spend so much time creating things out of love for free! Let them know you appreciate the work they’ve put into the things they love. The least we ask for is to share works we spent lots of time on.

Thank you for reading! I hope I can still see you around while I make art for other interests. Under the cut will be about Weekly Chan updates and a more in depth explanation/ goodbye letter/ final thoughts since the important stuff has been said.

Weekly Chan has 19 more portraits to go before I can say I’m officially finished with the project. So, I’ll be working on those on/off because more than anything, I want to see it done. Weekly Chan started as a normal dedicated fan project for Bang Chan (mainly out of Chanrot) that became a source of wanting to spread warmth to fellow stays much like how Chan does weekly through Chan’s Room.

I made a goal of 100 portraits by his birthday, and since I’m close to finishing it I’ll be seeing it through 💖 as a gift because Chan has done a lot for me, like an extra booster when I feel like I’m doing things alone. There is no definite end date since I'll take my time finishing it. He is, after all one of the stars I cherish the most.

Tbh aside from the whole art-related stuff. Around March, I think I was already finding myself detaching from skz. It was like a gradual loss of motivation to keep following them. I'm sure if you were a follower of my @/mocimori blog you've heard me cry over it a couple of times. Mainly it was a culmination of many things but the speed the community was going (lovestay > oddinary) and over saturation made me feel what I felt towards Genshin twt's fast paced consumption of new content.

getting tickets to their Maniac Tour was what broke the chiamel's back. I was tasked to secure tickets so my fam and my friend can watch the show with me, but I underestimated how stressful it was. No amount of preparation could prepare me for ticketing day. The fact that there was no membership pre-sale made it 10x more stressful it was as if we were on the hunger games as involuntary Katniss Everdeens at the quarter quell. It was that bad. I ended up sick from the preparation stress and the crushing weight of not being able to secure even 1 ticket. Eventually, I did manage to secure tickets when they open sales for Newark D1 but the exhaustion I felt stuck to me like tar.

I think I was just hoping to go back to the way it was. The ticketing left a bad taste in my mouth and omo, this is a fault of mine but messy fandom stuff will slip in my radar even though I try to keep my feed negative-free. Then I heard about how Staytists were being treated by fellow Stays (reposting of art w/out consent, rating fanart on tiktok — basically just disrespectful behavior) I had a hard time trying to reconnect afterwards.

Also this post is getting way too long so I shall tl;dr what was going on with my Chan ult'ing journey but eventually the sparks just faded out. It was probably a combination of so many things and the pressure of wanting to draw Chan on a weekly basis, sometimes 3-5x a week that it just… took its toll on me…

it came to a point where I would cry over Chan at random hours of the day. I missed him, I felt guilty bc suddenly he was no longer the center of my thoughts. I felt guilt bc I knew people knew me as that Chan fanartist. It was silly, how I let a kpop boy affect me this much but I held him with the highest regard. He was my star; out of all the biases I ult'd he had the most special position and was a symbol of hope. Having a hard time relate to him, feeling so detached made me feel bad. As if the security blanket was ripped away from my fingers.

sometimes, I still cry over him. It's no longer as bad as that time I cried over him for a week or two straight. I reflected a bit because yeah, it was a bit silly of me but when he was the source of all my hope when I felt like I had no one— even if it was that small of an interaction, I felt like what I'm feeling is valid. So, yeah, I just feel like it's ok for me to let go now. I think it was more of my fear of leaving behind a community that made me want to stick around. Other than the pressure, I just feel like throughout the last few months I lost what little creativity I had bc I wanted to follow trends, I had to box this outlet for the sake of accuracy and aaah idk it was just not healthy anymore.

i'll still support the Kids in my own way. At the end of the day, they're still my ults and I love the music they make. But I wanted to write this so you won't worry wth happened to me and the skz art. It's not really a goodbye but maybe, a see you soon!

thank you for everything!

#amg I know :( cb is so soon too! #tbh I wanted to hold off until after the first few days bc I already planned I wont be doing much this cb #but it’s tumblr lol so it’s like early announcement for you #also maybe bc I feel like no one would care that much compared to twitter #the chan branding is very strong on twitter so I’ll do it after I post my Maxident piece #chia.diary #Long post #naur fr I feel like the stuff under read more is very long #But I want to say I love my moots very much! #my stayblr friends I met along the way I love you! Thank you for making my time here enjoyable

[ridiculously-over-obsessed]

Hey! Im kind of new to the fandom, could you possibly recommend any bechloe completed fanfics? thankyou!

Hello lovely!! Welcome to the fandom, if you're looking for a super gay time you're definitely in the right fandom 🤣🤣

I can certainly rec a few for you that are completed, there are some INSANELY talented writers in this fandom, honestly I'm forever in awe of and humbled by the talent around me 🥺 but I will say don't limit yourself to completed fics!! Yes, it is disheartening to read fics that haven't been updated in eons, but as a writer with lots of wips on the go, and knowing writers with lots of wips on the go, I know that there is very little that is as encouraging as someone reading a fic that you haven't finished yet and telling you what they think of the journey so far, it's amazing 😍🥺💖

ANYWAY, here are a few fics that I absolutely adore and are completed, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!!!

The Monster Within by aca_bechloe47

To the outside world, Beca Mitchell was a loving big sister and the personal assistant to the CEO of Nightline Clubs Inc. Luke Matthews. But behind the scenes, the truth was far more sinister. In the dark of the night, Beca took on the alias of Titanium, the assassin. Soon the security of her secret begins to fall apart and the truth threatens to rear it's ugly head. Will Beca be able to protect her sister and her friends? Will the truth of what happened to her parents cause Beca's world to fall apart even further? Will the officers Beale and Posen have the bust of their careers, or will they find themselves in danger of The Assassins Guild of Atlanta?

(I literally recommend this fic to EVERYONE skljgdlfg it's my favourite bechloe fic of all time, I re-read it all the time, I forgot what their tumblr url is which is TRAGIC but yes, read this!!)

Home Is A Person by @massivedrickhead

Beca has been in the foster care system since she was a baby, and she’s never had anywhere she could call home.

She arrives at the Beale’s home just hoping for a safe place to stay until she turns 18.

For Chloe’s part, she had never gotten behind her parents’ need to foster kids. And despite outward appearances, she hadn’t felt at home here since she was a kid.

(Hands down one of the best bechloe fics in existence I cannot with this fic it owns my heartttt 🥺 also just read anything and everything that massivedrickhead puts out, seriously it's all incredible)

pieces by @suituuup

Five years ago, Chloe dropped off the face of the Earth. Beca didn't expect to see her again dancing in a strip club, out of all places.

(HOLY FUCK I swear to god I still think about this fic weekly, it's so fucking good and the EMOTIONS and the ROLLERCOASTER omgggggg 😩😍 again, read anything and everything by suituuup because she's not only a lovely person but an incredible writer too)

barriers by swanqueenfic13

So this is a little fic I've been working on in which Beca meets Chloe at an LA Pride parade, but fate keeps bringing them back together. In the face of a tragedy, Beca has to learn to let down her walls and rely on others. (IDK I'm bad at summaries just give it a chance)

(Oh the feels in this fic, god we love to see them being a safe place for the other it makes me so freaking soft man 🥺🥺🥺 be wary of the content warnings for this one though!!!)

Sing To Me Instead by @pocketdragon

A series of Bechloe one shots and short-form stories inspired by the tracklist from Ben Platt's 'Sing to me Instead' album.

(Okay yes, this is a serious of fics but hear me out kldjklfdjgdf they are all AMAZING, the variety of emotions I go through reading this series I cannot deal, and honestly if you haven't listened to either of Ben Platt's albums go do it, I promise you will not regret it kldfjglkdf)

Paint Your Colours Over Mine by @snowydot

Chloe is used to the colors, and she knows they will never leave. It hadn’t occurred to her that, for Beca, they weren’t really there.

(No okay, you want softness??? Go read this, it makes me very emotional and I melt every goddamn time, Ginny is not only the sweetest person but such a talented writer, you really should read this fic)

i get a feeling, looking you in the eye by @chloebeale

The USO tour came at the right time for Beca, right after quitting her job and needing a distraction. But what about a distraction from her best friend? Who just happens to be sitting by the pool in the middle of the night when Beca is struggling to sleep...

(my beloved E rated Ellie has MANY fics you should read, hell just read them all, seriously I'm so lucky to be her best friend, I am a better person and writer just from being around her. I could have picked so many of her fics to recommend to you, but I picked this one because (a) it's so freaking good, and (b) it is the birthplace of Beca Pigchill and I will adore it forever for that kdfjglkdfjd)

Happy reading anon!!! 😍🥰💖

#anon #gs rambling again #fic recs #bechloe #i've got so much re-reading to do now because of this dklfgjflkdg #no regrets tho #maybe i'll just go through all of ellie's fics again... #that sounds like a good time and tbh might make me miss her less #i just wanna be with my gays and their dogs 🥺🥺🥺 #can it be next week yet???

"You got the Bruno Mars tickets?"

Mark looks up to see you looking a bit disheveled, still panting from running he assumes.

She still looks cute. Says his internal monologue but he quickly shuts that down, putting this tough shell back on in front of you instead.

"Yeah why?" he asks nonchalantly

You hold 1 finger up, signalling for him to wait while you catch your breath.

"Who are you going with?"

"Dery, supposedly but he got tickets too so now I'm not sure" he answers, his attention back on his laptop screen. There are so many things he should be doing right now to the point that he feels like the 24 hours of his day isn't enough and yet he can't seem to shoo you away.

He'll spare you a minute, an hour, or how long you ask him but you don't know that. And he won't say that out loud now that the two of you have broken up. His clock stops when he's with you.

Mark wants to scold himself for always giving into you, but he can't help it. It's you.

"Take me" you say straightforward, no sense of hesitation.

This made Mark look up at you again, raising a brow as he asks you "Now why would I do that?"

"Because we're friends?" throwing a question back at him

"God don't say that, it's weird" he mumbles, acting as if he was shaking of chills as you say the word friends

"You're the one who said we should be friends, this is me being a friend"

"This is you trying to piggyback on me to watch Bruno Mars"

"See, you still know me so well. Now why did we even break up?" you joke, but it wasn't well received on the other end so you cleared your throat "Right sorry, sore topic" you mumble

"I'll think about it" Mark tells you before his gaze returns on his screen

You smile down at him even though he's not looking at you. "In your book, that's a yes. Call me, bye" you tell him before walking away.

After that encounter with you, Mark of course couldn't keep his mouth shut and told his friend about it. He can already hear Hendery scolding him for being a 'simp'.

"Tell me you didn't say yes that fast" Hendery asks his bestfriend but he already knows the answer

"Mark, dude I thought we're working on the whole 'I'm moving on for real this time' era of yours"

"I am, I am over it. She's just going with me because I have extra tickets, which by the way was supposed to be yours. I paid a good amount for those" he scowls at the other boy

"And you didn't even think twice about giving it away to her, we could've sold that or something. Just say you're still whipped and go. What's the point of me lecturing you everytime about your failed love live if you're never gonna listen"

"I can't fail my love life if I don't have a love life" the Leo man justifies

"Okay you got a point there, so here's my proposal. We should find you a new girl so you can finally finally stop being such a simp"

Mark swears he trusts Hendery with his life, but also a big part of him doubts his Libra bestfriend even when he's staying still and doing nothing.

"I'm not a simp" Mark grumbles like a child. He can hear Hendery snicker from beside him,

"Sorry what was that? I can't hear bullshit. Get back to me when you finally mean it"

He really hoped Hendery was kidding when he said he'll find him someone, he had so many reason why this isn't a good time to date but he can't stop him once he sets his mind on something. Especially if it meant it'll give Mark a headache, which in that case is Hendery's forte.

But if there's someone topping that list, the number one person to make Mark's temporal pulse go thumping hard. It would be you. And you know exactly know to get on his last nerve whether he likes it or not.

"I can't believe you got floor tickets, and Dery passed this up?" you say from beside him as you look around the venue. It's the day of the concert and just like you said, you showed up in front of his doorstep 10 hours earlier with the most excited look on your face.

"He's somewhere over there, said he prefers it so yea" he answers, looking at his watch to check the time. His nonchalance making you look over at your ex-boyfriend slash friend.

"Why are you grumpy? Does it really bother you I'm here? I can pay for the tickets" you tell him.

Mark looks over at you, noting your serious expression. He didn't want to ruin tonight for you, for the both of you so he shakes his head.

"No, I'm fine. Don't worry about it. I invited you"

"I invited myself, I'll send you the payment after the show" you tell him then look away.

Great, now you're in a bad mood and he has to figure out how to fix it. He lets out a sigh, looking away from you. The ticket is not really the issue tonight, neither you being here tonight. It's his mind being at war again, asking him questions he have long buried in the depths of his consciousness.

It's like you press the reset button in him every time. He hates it but he can't walk away from you either. So as a result, he sometimes acts too harsh towards you.

Mark thinks of something to break the tension,

"Hey, remember when I said I wanted to watch Bruno Mars with you" Mark tells you, slightly leaning towards you to whisper by your ear

You do remember. Back when you were still dating he did say he wanted to go attend concerts with you, when he learned yours and his favorite artist was the same he got so excited and put it on his bucket list to watch Bruno Mars with you.

"Huh?" you mumbled, pretending like you were having a hard time recalling that memory but really it's still fresh like it happened just yesterday

"My bucket list, said I wanted to watch Bruno with you. Guess I can check it off from that now" he smiles

"Does it still count even when we're not dating anymore?" you can't help but ask, you expected him to react violently like he always does when you bring it up but instead he just smiles at you again

"It counts as long as it's with you" he answers then he looks away. Not catching the way your gaze stayed on him for a few more moments, in those moments you wondered what if that wasn't the case.

What if you never broke up. What if he was still yours.

A lot of what ifs you'll never know the answer to.

Instead of linger on that, you just look away from him. Ignoring the dull ache in your heart.

That night turned out for the better, probably a night you'll never forget. You had so much fun, singing and jumping along your favorite songs. There were times when you looked beside you to see Mark doing the same. Seeing the biggest smile on his face as he holds his phone up to capture the moment.

Instead of saying anything, you just watch him with a smile. Missing seeing him this happy and carefree.

After the show, Mark offered to drive you home. You were too tired to say no so you just sat on his passenger seat as he drives down the familiar street. He didn't need to check his GPS to know, he know these roads like it's the way to his own home.

In a way it used to be like that, you used to be his home.

He didn't say much when he dropped you off, watching you enter your building and only driving away when he's sure you safe inside.

"Mark, my friend"

"No" Mark cuts off Hendery before he could even say anything but of course his bestfriend didn't take any offence nor thought about listening to him, he continued when Mark didn't say anything else

"As I was saying, remember when I said I'll find you someone. Well I kinda did, a bunch of us is going hiking this weekend and this girl Arin is coming. Heard she's had a thing for you for a while now"

"How can she have a thing for me when she doesn't know me?" he mumbles, already getting grumpy with the idea of going out

"I can't explain the way of the universe to you my friend, she just does. Don't make me say you're one handsome man because I won't" Hendery says

"You just did though"

"So you're coming right?" Hendery asks with a devilosh smile like he's already plotting something

"Do I have a choice?"

"Hey don't look at me like that, it was your choice coming here" Haechan tells you as you let him drag you trough the woods at 5am in the morning

"You told me we were going to get coffee at this place with killer view. I'm about to be the killer here and you're in my view" you tell him, sending glares his way but this doesn't deter your friend.

"We are getting coffee, after we go hiking. Hey! No hitting!"

As the two of you bicker some more you don't notice the other people joining you for today's hike arrive.

From across the lot, Mark spots you and Haechan. Just as he looks over, he sees Haechan bend down to whisper something to you and you hitting him lightly making the guy laugh.

It’s been a while since he last saw you, after the concert you really didn't reach out that much. Not that he expected you to, the last text you sent him was a short thank you for taking you to the concert.

You weren't avoiding him, it's been a while since you went out with a big group of friends since you and Mark did share a lot of mutual friends. You didn't want to make it awkward for everyone, so instead you mostly declined the invites when you know he might come too.

And Mark, well he’s been keeping his distance from you too. It's always you who talks to him first, always letting you make the first step.

He knew you were close to Haechan. If he’s being honest there were enough times he felt jealous even.  He pushes that thought away as fast as it came. He didn't know you were coming this weekend, a detail Hendery failed to mention.

"Hey don't freak out, but your ex is here" Haechan tells you

Whipping your head around then back at him, waiting for him to say it was a joke

"No he isn't"

"Yep, he's over there. Wait don't look"

Too late you're already looking. And there he was indeed. Luckily Mark was too busy unloading stuff from the car to notice you looking over at him

“If only your gaze could make him notice you, he’d probably be here already having an actual conversation with you” Haechan whispers to you

“You know not every thought that pops into your head should be said outloud, you can just shut it” you answer, taking your gaze off from the guy from across the lot.

“It wouldn’t be too bad to admit you miss him, when it’s this obvious”

“Again, thoughts to your self. I don’t need you whispering in my ear like a little devil” this time it earned him a hit on the shoulder. From across the lot, Mark’s eyes glaze towards the direction where you were standing with your friend. 

“He’s looking over here, by the way” Haechan tells you when his eyes met with Mark’s, the other guy quickly averting his gaze somewhere else. 

“Shut up”

"He was, and I'm pretty sure he had the look of murder on his face when he saw me leaning a little to close to you"

"I have the look of murder whenever I look at you, now can I get a drink in peace without you breathing down my neck" you grumbled, rethinking all the choices you made which led you here. You should've been anywhere but here.

Anywhere except where Mark is. You thought.

"He's coming, act cool. Hey guys!"

You glare at Haechan one last time before looking to see Hendery, Mark, Yoo Jimin, Arin and Yeonjun.

"You guys got here early?" Hendery asks

"No, we just got here too. Ready to go?"

Everyone said yes then you were off.

You try to focus on not tripping and not think about Mark, which you kind of succeeded. The group made small talk among each other, of course with Haechan and Hendery there aren't any dead air.

When you got to the trickier part of the hike, the trail was steep and kinda hard to climb up. Some of the boys offered to go up first to assist while the others stay behind to make sure no one get's left behind.

Hendery and Haechan took the lead while Mark and Yeonjun stayed behind. You were standing behind Jimin and infront of Yeonjun, taking careful steps.

"Haechan Lee, when we get to the top I'm going to push you off" you tell your friend who was laughing from somewhere infront

"I thought this was easy, not gonna lie I'm gonna pass out soon" Jimin says

"Same" you mumble, resting your hand on your knee to catch your breath

"Hey you okay? Need help with your bag?" Yeonjun asks you, Mark who is standing at the very back listens to the conversation.

"No, it's okay" you politely decline

"You sure?" nodding at him, "Jimin, do you need help with yours?" Yeonjun asks the girl to which she answers with a loud yes and quickly passing her bag to him.

You let Yeonjun walk infront of you, leaving you and Mark at the very back of the line. Mark takes a water bottle from his bag, opens it before passing it over to you. You didn't even think twice about grabbing it, not really paying attention to who's beside you. Kind of forgetting if for a moment before you stood straight again to meet Mark's eyes looking at you.

"Uh thanks" you say holding up the bottle of water

"No problem, need help with your bag?" he asks, he did hear you already say no to Yeonjun but he can't help bu ask

"It's fine, you're already carrying yours" you tell him, shooting him a quick smile before resuming your walk. But before you can take another step, you felt him grab your wrist to pull you back.

"Wha-" then he was pulling one strap of your backpack then the other before putting it on him. Now he's carrying his backpack and yours.

"Mark, come on I can carry that" you try to get it back but he blocks your hands with his arm. Gently pushing you infront of him.

"I'll give it back when you don't look like you're about to pass out, now go. We're falling behind" he tells you, and when he gets this serious you have no choice but to follow him.

For the rest of the hike, you and Mark walk in silence. Passing the water bottle back to him every once and a while, not even noticing you're practically sharing it with him. And when there was a branch too big on your way, you felt his hands on your waist. Guiding you from behind.

"Careful" he mumbles

Too stunned to say anything, you make your way over. Haechan was there waiting for you. He helps you up with this sly smirk on his face, you send a glare to him. Already reading his mind and what's he's about to ask you later.

"And we're here! Look at that view" Hendery announces.

For a moment, all seven of you just admire the view.

"Okay, tell me I did good" Haechan bumps your shoulder, you roll your eyes

"Fine, this was worth all of that" you mumble while the guy beside you throw his fist in the air like he just won a very important arguement.

All of you find spots to sit and get comfortable while eating the snacks you brought and drink the coffee brought by Arin apparently.

"I'm working at the cafe near campus so I kinda picked up a few tricks here and there, taste it. Hope it tastes okay" she tells the group.

Passing the thermos around, you take a cup and wait for your turn. Haechan pours some on your cup for you, and even got you your favorite pastry which honestly might be the highlight of your week.

Meanwhile, Mark was not so subtly watching from the side as you smile at the other guy. Even saw you bump your head on Haechan's shoulder affectionately, probably since you can't give him high five with your hands fill. It's something he knows you do when you get all happy and excited. The coffee tasted okay but something else left a bitter taste in his mouth.

"We should go here again, it's nice to just be out of the city" Yeonjun says

"True, I was dying back there but I'd do it again for this" Jimin says with a smile, all of you looking out the view. Watching as the sun slowly ascend up the sky.

The seven of you spent a few more hours there, just talking and sharing stories then it was time to go. The hike back was much easier and faster since you kinda know where to go.

Saying goodbye to the group when you got back to the parking lot. You help Haechan put your bags in the trunk.

"Hey uhm I was wondering if you want to grab coffee sometime" you're not sure who was speaking so you look behind you only to see Arin standing beside Mark.

For a moment, Mark meets your eyes but you quickly looked away and made your way inside Haechan's car. You'd rather not hear the rest of that conversation, saving your self from the misery.

Haechan looks over at you with confusion, then behind him to see what you saw. And when he saw Mark looking where you were, he understood. He closed the trunk making Arin and Mark look at him, "We'll go now, see you around guys" he shoots them a smile and a wave before jogging over the driver's side.

"You good?" he asks you when he got in the car

"I think so"

"I'm not gonna make fun of you if you say no" he tells you which kind of did make you laugh.

"Just tired, and you still owe me coffee"

"Fine, I'll get you some. Only because you're sulking right now"

You wanted to say he was wrong and that you weren't sulking but that would be not true.

Not sure either why you suddenly feel so down. You and Mark have broken up for over a year and in no place to feel jealous if he decides to date again. And at the end of the day it was yo who broke up him.

Deciding to treat yourself, you walked around the neighborhood to buy some snacks and your favorite ice cream.

Mark just drove Arin home after going out to grab dinner together, they had a good talk. He's not as naïve as Hendery thinks, he can definitely see why he said Arin might like him. But Mark of course being the gentleman that he is, let her down in the most gentle way he could.

"It's just, I'm not really looking for a relationship right now" he tells her

"I understand that, I can wait" she smiles at him, a look of determination on her face. "I've been meaning to say hi to you and introduce myself to you for a while now. And now that I have met you, I really can't promise I that I can stop liking you"

He chuckles at that, "Thanks, I guess. It's for you to decide, all I'm saying is that I might not reciprocate your feelings for me. Sorry"

"What are you sorry for? We still have time, you can atleast give that to me right" Arin asks

In his mind he already said no. He just smiles though.

After he got home, he still couldn't sleep because for some reason he can't keep you off his mind.

Thinking what if it was you in his place, did you ever have someone ask you out. Is there someone else now. Was it Haechan? Yeonjun?

Too lost in his thoughts, he spots a convenient store nearby and decided to buy an ice cream. Just when he step out of the store, he spots someone sitting outside by the benches.

He'd recognize that jacket anywhere because he was the one who bought it. You've always had a love for all things cozy and fluffy. The teddy bear like jacket was a gift from him last Christmas, he can still remember the smile you had on when he gave it to you.

"What are you doing out here?" he asks you, catching you by surprise. He then takes the seat across from you

"Had a bad day, thought the ice cream would make me feel better. You, why are you here?" you ask back, not expecting to meet him here of all places

"Had a lot to think about, thought the ice cream would help" he answers, "Want to talk about it?" Mark asks before he could even think about it. Normally he would stop himself from prying into your business, respecting the boundaries the two of you have now.

Shaking your head in reply, he understood you won't say anything after that

"I can't tell you because it won't be fair" you mumbled

"Why won't it be fair?"

"Because you're my ex" you tell him, it flew right out of your mouth before you stop and think about it. Looking up at Mark to see him looking at you already,

"Don't worry about it, don't worry about me I'll be fine" you mumble with a small smile. Trying to make it better somehow.

"Why do you do that?" he asks

"What?"

"Run. You always run away from me when I get even a step too close. Even when we were together, you always to that. You always had this wall around you that even I couldn't go around, did you not trust me?" for such an intense gaze, he asked that question so calmly. Like his eyes were saying one thing and his lips were saying another.

"I don't trust myself. Every time something good happens to me, I always ruin it. Every time I think I'm the happiest, I get this overwhelming fear that something will take it away from me. I'm messed up, I know that and you're the last person I want to dump all that mess on" you answer.

For the first time since the break up you finally talk about it. Flashbacks of that night replaying in your head. Remembering how he asked you why multiple times and not being able to give him the answer

"Do you think it could've worked if only I held on to you tighter or would you have hated if I did?" he asks

"Probably, but we won't know. I'd rather keep our memories in a good way than regret it"

"Do you hate me?

He waits.

One second.

Two seconds.

His clock stops once again because of you.

Then he hears you speak,

"Never"

You smile at him warmly, just like you used to. "I know it's hard to understand and accept what I did. I didn't want to drag you down with me, I have bad days and even worse days. Back then it felt like you were the only good thing in my life, I was scared that one day I wasn't going to have that"

"So you walked away before anything bad happens?" he continues for you, "I get that, when things get to much the first thing you can think of is to run. It's natural to have a fight or flight response"

"Don't get to academic with me" you mumble, making the guy across from you chuckle before turning serious again

"No really, boyfriend or not you can still talk to me. If it gets too much, you don't have to run all the time. I'll stay right here, I won't go anywhere so when you need someone you can come to me. Run to me, instead than run away from me"

Mark has always had a way with words, this time instead of running away again you listen to him. Sharing a smile.

"I'll walk you home"

"What time is your last class?" Mark asks you over the phone, after that talk you had the two of you have been hanging out more. Taking his promise of being your friend seriously. Now, there isn't a day when you don't talk to each other.

"My last class is over, I'm here at the library. Why?"

"Do you have an umbrella?"

"Why would I need-" just then a loud thunder resonates outside, feeling the rumble of it from inside the library. You then remember the umbrella you left in your room this morning thinking you weren't going to need it.

"I'm outside" he says then hangs up. Quickly you fix your things and made your way outside the library and sure enough Mark's there waiting for you.

It's only a matter of time before the butterflies in your stomach takes over, and this warm feeling in your chest burst out but for now you choose to ignore it. Choosing not to risk this second chance with him.

"What are you doing here?" you ask him even though you've been waiting to see him the whole day.

"What do you think, I'm walking you home" he tells you like it's the most obvious thing in the world.

"You have one umbrella, we're not gonna fit there"

"We'll make due, now come on. I'll make us rament later" he says as he pulls your bag from your grasp and sling it on his shoulder. He then takes his hand that wasn't holding the umbrella to hold yours, tugging you right beside him as the two of you make your way outside.

The two of you underestimated the rain and the size of his umbrella because by the time you arrive at your apartment, only the top of your heads weren't wet by the rain.

Quickly opening the door to get inside, you kick your shoes off and turn the lights on

"I think I have some clothes for you, wait here I'll get you towels" you tell him

But before you could walk away from him, you feel his grasp on your wrist holding you back.

"Do you need something?" you ask him

"I- I just feel like if I don't take this chance right now then I would end up regretting it again, just like when I let you go the first time"

"Mark"

"No, you were right, I won't blame you for our past. I can't be angry at you for choosing yourself. We both needed that to grow and learn and discover ourselves. This right now feels like our second chance, I'm not about to risk it and hope for another one to come by. For once, I'm going to take this chance with you. That is if you'll have me"

Maybe he doesn't know just how much he drives you crazy, just how much you'd risk to have another chance with him. It dawned on you just now how it didn't matter what's at stake if you try again with him because what matters the most is him.

Then suddenly you leap right in his arms, not expecting this Mark stumbles a few steps back. But he catches you, holding you close to him like he was afraid you might float away from him.

"I'd take that as a yes"

You lean back enough to meet his eyes, "See, you still know me best. Why don't we get back together" you tease him.

"I asked first" he pouts at you.

Your adorable Mark pouts at you. How can you ever say no to him if he's this cute and adorable. He knows exactly how to use it against you.

"What if it gets too much, if I get too much?" you ask

"You're never too much to me, nothing I can't handle. I love you, all of you. I'll stay here and tell you everyday until you get tired of me"

You giggle at his words, burying your head on his shoulder. You feel him kiss the top of your head before putting you down on your feet.

It's always scary taking chances, but to you and Mark it's scarier to let it pass again. This time you know you don't need to bet anything because you're sure he's there to stay with you.

You knew it was coming, Harlan had been slowing down more than usual. His usual nickname of 'Ransom Blade' was just Ransom. Even your husband had refused to go into work. Staying next to his bed the whole time. "Ransom, where's the little Ransom?"

"You want me to go get him?" Ransom chuckles, fiddling with a Go stone.

"I want all of them."

You give Ransom a nod, and go to get all the kids. Iris nearly refusing to go in there. She just stood still with tears in her eyes, rubbing her big round pregnant belly. "Mama, I can't."

"You need to. You'll regret it."

"It's too much. I just can't," she begs you with her eyes, her head shaking back and forward.  It’s been too much that she’s been through in less than a year, and you don’t want to push her.

"You're not a child, and I won't make you. But you need to say your goodbyes," Story holds tightly to your hand as the other kids walk in with you, except for Aster. She holds her hand out to Iris, who takes it in her own. Aster's hand presses up on the growing Posie, as she leads the two in.

Harlan just stares up at Blade. Your son, nearly grown. Taller than his dad, but the spitting image of him. "Ransom," Harlan chuckles. "you look just like your daddy, you know?" Blade laughs through his tears. "I'm so proud of you. You're going to do amazing things, but you've got to stay out of trouble. Okay?"

"Okay, grandpa."

"My feisty one," Harlan points at Aster, "So much of your dad's sass. Don't settle. You deserve the world. I remember meeting you and Iris for the first time. Such beautiful babies. I hadn't seen one in so long. Your daddy was so happy and proud. You two saved his life," he looks over at Iris, tapping the side of his bed for her to come closer, "My sweet angel," holding his hand up against her bump. "You'll see him again. Death couldn't keep that boy from you. You're going to be an amazing mom. You had the best teacher. I have always looked at you as mine. You protect that baby, like your daddy protected you."

"I love you grandpa," Iris responds through her tears.

"Kitten," he laughs looking at you. "Thank you. For my Ransom, for my grandkids. You saved all of us. You showed a broken man what love was. Gave him the life he wanted and all the kids he could ever want. Where's my little one?" she peaks her head out from behind you. "Stay you're crazy and conniving self. Ransom, son, I haven't told you enough, but I'm proud of you. Proud of the man, husband, and father you’ve become.  Keep them safe, love on them everyday, because life is too short.  My sweet little dreamer," Story never staying too far from Harlan gets his hand pressed against her cheek. "Tell me a story."

"I can't," she cries holding his hand on her cheek.

"You have to. I want your voice to be the one that puts me to sleep."

Story clears her throat, looking at her dad and then at you, "Remember those baby dragons in the wall?" he nods his head. "They had magical powers. I thought they were to harm the castle, but they weren't. They're going to protect us once the mage is gone. They've been growing, and learning. Now that they can fly, they've left their nest in the walls, and they circle the castle. You hear them?"

"I do. Story, one day he'll come," he looks at her with a sad smile. "Don't always be looking for Prince Charming. You'll have your trials and tribulations, but the one that always sticks by your side, even if it's in the dark, that's the one. In the dark of the night, he'll be your light. You believe me?"

"I do."

"Finish your story, my little dreamer," Story continues to tell her tale of the protecting dragons, adding in her embellishments, still gripping tightly to his hand when his eyes drift close. You try to pry her hand out of his, but she just holds steady.

"I love you," she whispers, giving him his final forehead kiss, before going into Ransom's arms. "I want to sleep with you tonight."

"Okay, baby. I just need a moment with mom," you grab his hand, guiding him away from everyone. You know your husband is needing his own form of comfort. His own moment to melt into a carefree life of a child, and you have no problem with helping him cope.

Part Four: Sunlight

“Lahela, I told you it’s not necessary.”

“Don't be stubborn and give me the address, Luna,” Bryce insisted as he was turning on the engine of his car.

It was a warm summer night at the end of July. The waning moon was hanging above us like the crown jewel of a very delicate veil of thousand tiny sparks.

Early that day Bryce had found out I was moving to the new apartment with the other interns, so he signed himself up to help me move my stuff without even telling him one iota, and despite my constant declines.

I don’t know which one of us was the real stubborn there.

“Okay, there you go,” I mumbled after typing the address on his cellphone, defeated.

I couldn’t understand why the insistence on helping me when I had made myself very clear I could handle it all by myself, but there was nothing I could do now. I was trapped with him.

So I tried to enjoy the ride to my old place, taking in the view of the crowded avenues of Boston at night, the multicolor street lights dancing around as the car was moving, the warm breeze blowing through the open windows, the chatter of people mixing with our casual conversations about our day.

For a moment, I forgot all about my situation. Bryce had this way of making all my problems fade away when he was around; but when we reached the old building, any feeling of calmness was suddenly gone and all my anxiety back.

I led him silently to the main hall, my cheeks blushing and my stomach churning. Bryce was going to be the first and only person that would see the ridiculousness of a room I had been living in for the last three weeks.

Fuck, this is more embarrassing than I thought it would be, I told myself when I stood in front of the door.

It was mortifying.

The door was just a few feet from the staircase and in front of the mailboxes, exposed to all kinds of noise, from the staircase itself and from the people getting their mail at any time of the day (or night).

Bryce waited expectantly behind me as I was opening the door of the small room.

“Oh my god, you were living here?” he said the moment I opened the door.

“Shut up.”

He practically laughed his ass off when he gave the first glance at the room, full of boxes and suitcases ready to take away.

“Matilde... Hahaha!” Bryce giggled, after having to duck his head to cross the door, “Oh my god, Elijah wasn’t kidding... hahaha! Wasn’t exaggerating when he… haha! Oh shit, when he called you the Chosen One hahaha!”

I watched him wiping the tears off his eyes with the coldest glare I had. But he was too busy inspecting the room to notice. With his head slightly slumped, the place barely had room for the two of us, much less to walk inside, but still, Bryce managed to take a tour of the tiny room and the even more tiny bathroom.

“Can we agree this is like a Polly Pocket room Human’s edition?” He asked when he came out of the bathroom, “And specially made for Matilde Luna? Because it suits your height so perfectly, mirror and all.”

“Fuck you, Lahela.”

The only thing I could do at that moment was to be angry. Angry at the fact that someone was witnessing how spectacularly bad I had failed and would laugh at me for the rest of my life.

How did I let this happen? Why didn't I just hide or escape the hospital before Bryce could find me?

“How did you never run out of oxygen here? With all the stuff you have inside, you should suffocate in four hours, minimum.”

“For fuck’s sake, Lahela, are you done? You came here to help me, not to laugh at me.”

“I can do both,” he coughed, choking on his own laughter, “Come on, you cannot tell me this isn’t funny.”

Bryce grinned at me for long moments, waiting for me to join him. For a moment I couldn't understand why I'd do such a thing.

What in all this fucking disgrace is funny??????

But then, I understood.

Despite knowing how serious and embarrassing this was, I realized Bryce wasn’t laughing at me or at the mistake I made. He was laughing at the absurdity of it all.

The room, the situation, nothing made sense. It was ridiculous. Pathetic. But still, still managed to steal a good laugh from Bryce. Why wouldn't it be the same with me? Because I used to take myself too seriously. This mistake was unforgivable. I had cried over the spilled milk for weeks, mortified and angry at my mistake, but now, now that I was saying goodbye to this absurd room, I had nothing left to do but laugh. Join Bryce and laugh.

So I did it. I simply burst into laughter. Bryce followed afterward and we laughed and laughed and laughed for what seemed an eternity, both sitting in the tiny bed while our giggles resonated in the small room, echoing in the hallway when the space wasn't enough for so much noise. Choked words, weird noises, Bryce mocking at my height, feigning to pack all my room and save it in his pocket, me rolling over the bed, cackling.

Nonsense.

I couldn’t remember the last time I laughed this much and this hard. The last time my stomach hurt from laughing so much.

It felt so freeing. Calming, even.

“Okay, okay, yes,” I breathed after a long while, wiping the tears off my cheeks with the back of my hand as I was sitting up, “It’s pretty funny and absurd that I got to live here, I give you that.

“Yeah. And cruel. And hideous that someone rents a place like this,” Bryce continued, his voice full of disbelief though he was still shaking his head in amusement.

“Yeah, luckily I’m leaving this place behind for good.”

“Well said,” he agreed, taking a deep breath before standing up from the bed, “Now, shall we start?”

“If you’re done laughing at me, sure,” I said, standing up as well.

“Oh, no, I’m not, I’ll probably laugh a couple of times more but we should start while I’m a little composed.”

After several rounds carrying the boxes to his car, we finally packed all that was inside, leaving the room under the stairs completely empty, except for the bed and desk.

“I cannot even imagine what I’ll owe you after this,” I grunted, turning to Bryce while he was waiting for a green light on our way to the new apartment. He was unusually quiet humming a pop song playing on the radio. “Dinner in Dubai or something?”

Bryce laughed heartily before looking back at me, his gaze surprisingly soft, “Nah, let’s just add another beer.”

“Just another beer?” I remarked, incredulous.

“Yeah, knowing I can keep annoying you for as long as I want is the best payback.”

“Oh no,” I gasped, shocked, “this was your plan all along?”

“Yup, you’re stuck with me, Luna.”

“Damn, just when I was starting to think you were a good guy…”

“Your intuition radar sucks, let me tell you.”

“Idiot!” I giggled, elbowing him as he was speeding up after the traffic light changed to green.

When we arrived at the new apartment, we downloaded all the boxes and suitcases and with the help of a shopping cart, we got everything in the elevator. As the door of the elevator opened on my floor, we found Jackie outside, waiting to give me a hand with the boxes.

“I must confess I didn’t believe it when you told me the scalpel jockey was gonna help you, Tilly,” Jackie said, taking the shopping cart full of boxes out of the elevator and wheeling it to our apartment, “But damn, it was true. You're not afraid you'll break your precious hands, meathead?”

“There are riskier things than helping a friend to move, you know?” Bryce retorted, walking behind her, carrying a big box in his hands,

A shiver ran down my spine.

Friend.

“Oh, please, as if Matilde would ever consider you her friend,” Jackie huffed, downloading the boxes from the shopping cart, snooty, “She just accepts your presence because you’re behind her all day like a lost puppy.”

“Excuse me, but I was Matilde’s first friend at Edenbrook, so respect your superiors and put in line, sis,” Bryce demanded, acting offended.

Jackie snorted, “Sure, bro.”

“Could you stop fighting, and bring this box to my room Lahela? Thank you,” I snarled, feeling inexplicably upset.

“See? Matilde’s reflecting, she doesn’t have the heart to tell you you’re not friends.”

I rolled my eyes without any of them noticing and kept walking towards my room, ruminating.

The word friend couldn’t stop spinning around my head.

“Are you okay, there?” Bryce asked after dropping the box over the mattress. He approached me with a worried look as he noticed I stood in silence for a couple of seconds, still trying to understand what was happening.

“Why do you ask?”

“You look pissed off.”

I was about to bluff my feelings with another jaded remark, as I always did, but I couldn’t. For some reason, I didn’t have the heart to act that way with Bryce this time.

Acting like an ass had become part of my personality over the years even though that was not what I was on the inside. It’s just how I had to learn to be to protect myself. My armor.

But with Bryce there was no need at that moment, though I didn’t know why.

Suddenly, Bryce chuckled, the street lights outside reflecting on his face at the lack of curtains, “Wow, it must hurt real bad being friends with me, uh?”

I knew it was a joke, but that shit hurt. Was it really a joke? Or it actually did hurt to be friends with him? Was I ashamed of him?

Of course not.

I stared at him trying to understand all of this. Why it felt so bad, like a wave of emotions soaking everything inside me with truths, messages I still couldn’t decipher.

“I… ”

“It's okay, you don't need to consider me your friend just because I did you this huge favor," he teased, but something in his eyes told me he was being completely and painfully honest.

Of course I consider you my friend, how could I not?

My eyes widened.

Oh shit.

He was my friend.

Bryce and I were friends.

That’s what I couldn’t process.

“Bryce, I-”

“Bryce? Wow, now I’m suspecting you hit your head with the trunk door.”

“Shit, Lahela, could you shut the fuck up for a moment? I’m trying to say something here but I can’t if you keep-”

“Okay, okay, I’ll shut up,” he said conciliatorily, raising his hands in surrender, “I'm sorry.”

I looked up at him but I couldn't come up with anything.

What do you say in a situation like that? When you realize you're friends with someone?

Actually, you don't say anything. It just happens. But I couldn't do it that way. It didn't feel right.

“I… I just realized we’re friends.”

“That’s it?” he said, kind of surprised, then he giggled, “Of course we're friends!”

“It's just… It's not that simple, at least not to me,” I muttered, my voice quivering.

I closed my eyes and shook my head, trying to find the strength, the bravery to talk. When I opened my eyes, Bryce was looking at me completely serious. That made me even more nervous.

“I… I haven’t had a friend in years, many years,” I confessed, fidgeting my hands in front of my stomach.

What the fuck am I doing?

“Oh.”

“So this is kind of overwhelming to me. Probably to you it's nothing, but it's… it's difficult for me to process something like this. So that’s why… I’m confused.”

God, this was so embarrassing. I felt so exposed opening my heart and mind like that. I knew that's not how this worked. You simply become friends with someone without acknowledging it explicitly, like some kind of hidden code that happens silently over time and you don't realize how and when it happens until it's too late and you're already friends with someone.

But that’s not how my mind and my heart worked, unfortunately.

“I'd been all day trying to understand why you wanted to help me today when you knew I could do it on my own, and just now that you said we were friends I realized that, well, we are friends. And it took me this long because I just…”

My voice was shaky but I knew I couldn’t stop at that. With my heart beating fast, I turned around and started looking at the window, focusing on the tiny cars passing by down on the street, the even sound soothing part of my anxiety as I tried to keep talking.

“I don't… I don't know how to do this friendship thing, Bryce,” I continued, my eyes now staring at my reflection in the glass and a part of Bryce's figure contemplating me a few feet from the window. “I'm not used to having people close to me. And you have been the closest anyone has been in a very long time, so when people invade my space and my, I don't know, this independence I have, it's hard for me to just...go with it, and instead, I try to push everyone away because I actually don't know how to do this, so it's easier to get rid of them instead of… trying.”

Friendship was probably one of the most basic human skills, but I was a complete ignorant in the subject. And I was terribly afraid of failing if I learned how to do it.

Bryce didn’t say anything, but his reflection showed me he was pensive.

After a while, he took a step toward me, and before I could even panic, he softly pulled my arm and turned me to him, “Hey… I think you’re doing it great already.”

Blushing, I looked up at him, reluctant, “Liar.”

“It’s true.”

“I’ve been an ass with you this whole time.”

He chuckled, “I thought that was part of your charm.”

I snorted.

“But you are a good friend, Matilde. You are.”

My eyes crystallized seeing his earnestness, hearing his words.

I believed every fucking word he said, like an irrefutable truth.

“How can you be so sure?”

“There are some things you just know.”

Probably like I know you’re being honest.

I nodded before looking back at the window. He did the same. We watched the Boston lights in silence for a couple of seconds until he suddenly released a laugh, “ And it's not that difficult to be a friend, you know? You make it look like it’s like applying to Med School or something, but it’s just… hanging out with people and saying yes to everything they say.”

I rolled my eyes, “Okay, I might not be the most versed in the subject, but even I know that isn't true.”

“You got me, but what is true is that you must let them help you when they offer help.”

I blushed.

“Matilde, I know you can do it, that you're super capable, and independent, and self-sufficient, and I-can-do-it-on-my-own-dammit, but making your life easier doesn't hurt, okay? ”

I bit my lip to suppress the smirk forming, “I guess so.”

Friendship. That mysterious and distant concept I thought I would never experience.

I didn't know it could surge like that. This easy. This fast. I thought it was impossible for me, after so many years of failing. But right at that moment, I knew it could be. Bryce was the only person that could make it possible.

His nature was genuinely welcoming, sincere, and understanding, making me feel comfortable the very moment we started speaking. And his warmth was numbing, that’s why I gave in so easily to him, as I never did with anyone before. That’s why I didn’t even realize when I started to trust him.

And his presence… His presence was like the first rays of sunlight after a cold and dark winter, melting everything around to let the flowers bloom and the trees turn green. The kind that makes you close your eyes and smile. That soothes you.

When I was around him, I could feel how something was growing inside me. How the light was entering. How the things around me were slowly getting visible. How the world was turning colorful and the noises were making sense.

And I could see how much I had grown up just in three weeks since I met him. I had opened up to someone for the first time, even if it were small things. And that evening, I had learned to not take myself and life too seriously.

Just as sunlight to nature, his presence had helped me grow as a person.

“Oooh, is that a brand new bookshelf you have in this box?”

I blinked a couple of times before directing my eyes to where Bryce was approaching, coming out of my absorption. “Oh, that. Yeah, now that I have enough space to have… you know, furniture, I thought it would be nice having my books on a shelf, instead of being abandoned in boxes,” I shrugged.

“You need help assembling that?” He asked, staring intently at me.

My first instinct was saying no, of course. I could handle it on my own. And Bryce knew, he perfectly knew that. He arched an eyebrow, still waiting for my answer.

This was a test.

“That would be great, thank you, Bryce,” I said finally. But I really meant it.

“Excellent, I'll go for my toolbox, wait here.”

“Okay.”

When Bryce went out to his car, I sat down on the bed, smiling like a stupid. I didn’t realize how two single tears streamed down my face until they started to tickle in my jaw.

Tears of happiness.

My heart couldn’t with this. It was too much. But I let myself feel that moment. I hadn’t been this happy, I hadn’t felt this appreciated in years, so it was understandable my poor heart was overflowing with the emotions of that day.

It was incredible the power Bryce Lahela had to warm a heart. Even a heart that had been sleeping and freezing for 14 years to be exact.

At that moment, I could see how the sunlight was filtering through the darkness inside me, and this time I didn't want to stop it.

I wanted to let it in.

I wanted to let him in.

Chapter 30 - Moose, Squirrel And The Chocolate Factory (2/?)

[ DS ]

“Guess you won the Golden Ticket, Charlie, huh?” I put the lanyard with his real ticket to the Chocolate Factory around his neck. It’s not a gold one, and it seems like I’m the one who feels like she’s won the WillyWonka lottery.

The kids file into the bus and we follow suit, taking the two seats at the front. He stuffs his bag into the overhead compartment while I keep mine at my feet to even out the space between my shoes and the bus floor.

“Are you planning on staying overnight or why did you bring your purse with you?” He looks at me with mock-indignation.

“That’s not a purse, Scully, it’s a shoulder bag!” My mind flashes to the one scene in Friends, where Rachel makes Joey wear a handbag and I think about using one of their lines, but they’re talking about unisex bags, as in U and I sex and that’s not a conversation I’m about to start with 25 kids on the verge of early onset puberty straining their ears.

“You should really lay off the coffee, Scully, you’re pretty antsy already.” I brought my tumbler filled to the brim, but I haven’t taken a sip yet.

"Yeah, 25 randy kids at your back will do that to you - Randy, put your seat belt on. No not later, right now!”

The kids behave for the most part, so I can relax for a little while, putting my feet up on the partition in front of us.

“You know that that’s a safety hazard, right? If we were in an accident.…” I turn my head to give him a look replying in a sing-song voice.

“My mama said that it was okay, mama said that it was quite alright. So how are you enjoying a mama-free house? She left this week, right?”

“Yup, it’s heaven. I love my mother but she runs a pretty tight ship, I felt like I was a teenager again with her bossing me around!” Oh I can relate to that.

“Haha, yeah, it’s the same at my parents’s house, my dad was a Captain in the Navy, so a tight ship is about right. We still fold hospital corners on our beds in the morning for inspection. My mom feels the need to remind us to greet our guests, ‘Have you said Hello to So-and-So?’, makes me feel like I’m twelve again. Seems like you never grow up past that age for your parents. What about your dad, why didn’t he come?”

I regret that question immediately as I see his face fall a little and he looks out the window wistfully, his voice quiet.

“My dad died when Sam and I were little.”

“I’m sorry, that must’ve been tough. Were you close?” Focussing on the serious conversation, I ignore the crude language Kyle uses across the aisle, not wanting to interrupt his answer by telling him off.

“No, not really. He was away on official State Department business a lot, and when he was back, we didn’t really connect all that much. Seems like my parents drifted apart because of it too, they got divorced a few years before he died.” This story makes my own crazy family seem like a walk in the park. I feel bad for little Fox and Sam, that they had to go through this much when they were just children.

I can't feel bad for long though, because Kyle has leveled up from crude language to telling dirty jokes to the delight around the kids around him.

“Kyle that’s enough! Keep the jokes appropriate or I’ll have a word with your parents about limiting your TikTok exposure.” He pipes down immediately, he’s one of the kids where talking to the parents actually has an effect.

Mulder leans over, grinning, and says quietly “You can be glad he hasn’t seen the SNL skit with Colonel Angus!” I burst out laughing because I have, cried tears of laughter at it, to be exact.

“How do you know about this?” Didn’t peg him for a social media guy.

“Felix’s finger slipped ‘accidentally’ and he downloaded the app to my phone. At first, I thought it was a colossal waste of time at first, but they have some interesting conspiracy theories on there. You wanna hear some?”

“I’ll pass, thanks, I’ve had my fair share of theories from the anti-vaxxers to last me a lifetime!”

“Miss Scully, can we use our phones today to take pictures?” Kyle looks at me hopefully and when I say yes, they have a blast with various Snapchat filters. They also snap a picture of me sticking out my tongue with the dog filter and Mulder in the background making a face. It’s so silly, but it’s the first picture of us and it captures the good time we're having perfectly.

I thought the field trip would be a nice change to the awful things I have to see at work, but I didn’t expect to have so much fun and this is only the bus ride. I also can’t believe Scully can make silly dog ears work on her and have it be adorable.

Holding my hand out, I ask for her phone to take a picture with her kids - this is their last year together and I’m sure she’d like to have some memories of this day. She pushes it into my hand, it’s one of those new-ish things where you need your fingerprint to unlock it.

“Scully, I need your finger for this!” With a wicked grin, she holds up her hand and wriggles her fingers, just like you would do before flipping someone the bird.

“You wanna pick one?” She’s in a goofy, flirty mood today and I absolutely love it.

Unceremoniously, I grab her index finger I need to unlock the phone. “I’ll take this one, for now. Don’t want the kids to tell their parents that I’m a bad influence on their teacher.”

As I search for the camera app, I also notice the pink square with the flame on it. Tinder, Scully, really?? I pray to all things holy that no notification will pop up while I’m doing this, of some douche sliding into her DMs with a lame ‘Wyd?’. I’m not sure my poor heart could take it.

Thankfully, taking the picture goes down without a hitch or unwanted notifications and soon, we’re pulling into the parking lot of the Chocolate Factory.

“Don’t forget your man purse!,” she reminds me with a cheeky grin as I pull down our coats from the overhead compartment and help her into hers. You can’t say that I’m not the perfect gentleman, I even straighten out her twisted hood to 25 kids watching with eagle eyes.

Let the fun begin.

If you haven’t seen it yet, this is the Colonel Angus skit and I almost died watching it 😂 Mostly bc Mulder is said to be pretty good with his mouth and I imagined Scully watching it 😏

good morning Min Min! have some Self Ship plotting in your ask box this morning!~ ^_^

this is for Sparky boy Denki Kaminari let's go!

okay so ive been trying to decide how Rei -me- and Denki meet up, and so i've come up with this:

Rei runs an orphanage for Quirk children no one wants, they have ten living with them the newest one "Dash" goes missing. so they call up Endevers agency to ask for help. Shoto and Izuku get put up for the task and go to Rei. after a while of searching they find Dash and bring him back. after a heart felt convo Rei asks for them to come inside and stay for dinner for payment -as they didnt have the money to spare to give them for the job- of course both boys agree. after talking about how Rei grew up in foster homes and orphanages that didnt want them they wanted to run a place that would. they get little funding as it is for it, even makes a comment about the stove could bust into flames in any moment.

Izuku -being Izuku- comes up with an idea and after they leave he brings it up with shoto that what if they got all of 1 A together to fix the orphanage up themselves? Shoto agrees and tried to get funding from endeavor to help the situation. Izuku is calling everyone up to ask when an explosion comes from the orphanage the stove blew up and caused a fire in the building. hearing the commotion over the phone Baku, Denki, Kiri and Uraraka and Tsu come rushing to help Izuku and Shoto.

at this time Rei has all the children out except one. as everyone is trying to put the flames out Rei goes back in for the kid missing. they find her but becomes crushed under the rubble to move. the kid gets out and tells them they Rei is stuck. Baku takes Kiri and Denki along to find them. when they do even Kiri can't lift the rubble. its found Rei has a magnetic quirk, but can only be activated after have enough electricity to activate it. so with Baku and Kiri lifting and Denki shocking Rei to give energy to pull themselves out with their quirk they get them out.

they make it to the hospital and while they are recuperating everyone from 1 A fixes the orphanage good as new. after they recover Rei is asked to come to an event to raise funding for the orphanage to hire staff -of reis choice- and to use for other needs....

Rei ends up drunk and bumping into Denki again who is also drunk and they start drunk flirting....

and one thing leads to another aaaaannndddd-
