Needed a break from all my WIPs and wrote this little holiday bit. It's set in what I'm now going to call the 'Relaxed & Happy Verse' and this AU is going to be only happy fluffy established relationship drabbles. slices of life if you will. This is the same verse as the Love Letters fluff prompt.
Here are the previous fics in this verse.
Christmas Shopping.
Max leaned back into Daniel’s chest, staring proudly over at the Christmas tree the other had insisted on. This was their first Christmas here at home in Monaco. The first one where they weren’t jetting off to be with the other’s family. It wasn’t planned, it kinda just happened that way and Max couldn’t find it in himself to be mad.
This meant that they actually had to put effort into celebrating. The first step was agreeing to decorate the apartment. They argued about the tree– what size, what shape, even the colour. Then they argued about the coloured theme to decorate the tree. It was then they both realized how truly out of the loop they were when it came to actually making a home Christmassy.
So they went to a store and just picked things up that caught their eye. There was no rhyme or reason, no theme or plan. In the end their tree looked beautiful in Max’s opinion. They had unconsciously agreed to not go over the top, so there was still a lot of ‘tree’ to be seen. It was very them but in a simple way.
They didn’t decorate the rest of the apartment, not really. They got a wreath for the front door and Daniel saw some cute tea towels with Christmas puns on them. But outside of that, the tree was the focal point.
Daniel tilted his neck so that his cheek rested Max’s head. He kissed the crown of his head and pulled him closer.
“I have an idea for presents.” Daniel began ominously. Max peeked up at him curiously. “Ok hear me out.”
“Go on.”
“So– well firstly. Are we gonna do that thing where we agree not to buy each other a gift but then buy multiple gifts and like just hand them to each other and not wait til actual Christmas day? Or do you wanna like have everything be a surprise on one day? Because if you do…..”
Max snorted as Daniel’s speech got faster the more he got excited. It was a good thing he was an expert at translating Daniel’s brain trains. 
“Do you want us to wait until Christmas morning to open presents?” Max asked instead.
“Uh, yeah. I think it’ll be fun.”
“Then we’ll do that.” Max said it like it was simple. Because it was.
“Ace! Okay! Then that means we have officially entered an embargo on buying things for ourselves. Lock the doors! Blare the sirens! The embargo has begun!” Daniel cupped his hands around his mouth for his voice to echo around the room. Max laughed heartily at his antics. 
This would be their second ever shopping embargo. The first one happened when Victoria gave birth to Lio and Michelle to Isabella and they both had just been sending gifts without even thinking about it. Grace had to call to put a stop to it. They embargoed for four whole months. It was a dark time.
“Ok, now what?” Max leaned onto the arm of the couch so he could see Daniel properly while he laid out the plan. He lifted his feet to rest in Daniel’s lap and Daniel immediately dropped his palm to circle Max’s ankle.
“Right! So.” Daniel grinned. “Now, we figure out whatever gifts we wanna get and we buy them. BUT like, they have to be a secret. Like we have to promise to not like search for them or go poking at them when they're under the tree. Deal?” He held out his pinky and Max eyed him seriously for a minute before hooking his own pinky around Daniel’s.
“Deal. Of course we’ll both be here the whole time, Daniel.” He said it clearly like Daniel hadn’t considered that fact. Daniel grinned a wolfish grin.
“Oh Maxy Max. That's the best part!” He rubbed his palms together deviously. “So like, literally use everything to your advantage. If you need to lock me out onto the patio and close the blinds while you wrap, just like give me some water and my phone charger yeah?”
Max gave a confused eyebrow lift and Daniel continued.
“Yeah like for this to work, we actually have to play along- suspend our disbelief, pretend we’re in a play and there's a backstage or whatever. We’re both gonna be here almost the whole time so there's not many opportunities to sneak shit. So yeah, if you ask me to lock myself in the bedroom so you can go pick up whatever and take your time to put it under the tree. I’ll be in the bedroom, headphones on– music on loud. Until you let me out.” He shrugged. 
“Ok. I think I got it. Deal.” Max affirmed and Daniel’s answering smile was as blinding as it was mischievous. What had he gotten himself into?
– - –
Max had gotten lucky within a week of their deal. Daniel needed to fly to the Factory for some last minute set up testing before everyone closed down for the holiday. He’d been able to take his time and picked out a gift he knew Daniel would find hilarious and fall in love with.
Max wrapped the box with Sassy’s management and hid it in one of his suitcases in the storage closet. He then ended up buying two more things, deciding they would make perfect dummy gifts and set them for delivery.
Daniel had come back with a flourish, announcing that he had bought Max’s gift and it was on its way. Max had shaken his head fondly. Daniel was enjoying this thoroughly– Max was too, but Daniel was seemingly brimming with excitement about the whole process.
That excitement reached a peak one afternoon. Max was on stream with the Redline boys, playing one of the geography games where Gianni kept lessening the amount of time every round, when Daniel came barrelling into the sim room.
He dipped into the frame and waved to the camera before plucking the headset off of Max’s head. Max’s complaints were heard in the background even while Enzo and Crane both dissolved into giggled and Gianni tried to calm the chat from asking Daniel a barrage of questions. They knew he was only here to cause chaos and leave.
“Hey boys! Can you do me a favour real quick? I need you guys to keep Max distracted for like 30 minutes.”
“Daniel! You can’t just–” Max was laughing in the background, his glee broadcasting for everyone.
“The rules are that I can use whatever is at my disposal!” Daniel argued. “Thanks guys! Hey chat!” Daniel waved and deposited the headset back on Max’s head and left the room. Leaving Max to deal with the fall out while Daniel wrapped whatever gift he’d bought.
“Mate the chat is going crazy, you’re gonna need to give us something here.” Bennett couldn’t keep his grin off of his face. Max sighed in the most fake, put-upon way. They all knew he was extremely private with his relationship– for obvious reasons. It wasn’t as if they weren’t out or open, but they were both very private people. 
“Ok ok! I’ll answer three questions. Make them good Crane.”
“Why give Crane the power?” Gianni complained.
“Because he’s gonna choose shit questions.” Max grinned mischievously into the camera.
“Ok got it. First question Maxy Taxi.” Crane steepled his fingers and raised an eyebrow in a poor evil villain imitation.
“Oh boy.” Bennett couldn’t hold back his giggles.
“First question. What the fuck was all that about?” The group laughed loudly and Max covered his face in his hands.
“I think my Christmas gift just came and of course he wants to make sure I don’t see it.”
“That’s a bit over the top mate.” Gianni pointed out.
“Daniel’s a bit over the top, mate.” Crane shrugged as if it all made sense to him.
“I mean– we are under embargo. Shocking, right?” Max announced to the surprise of the group who nodded sagely, remembering him complaining about the last embargo. 
“OG chat knows.” Enzo piped up.
“That counts as a second answer by the way. So one more!” Max cackled when everyone started arguing loudly into their mics.
“Ok ok ok! Fine, last question. What did you get him?” Crane asked.
“Of course I’m not telling you! Then it’ll end up all over the internet and spoil the surprise.” Max snorted, thoroughly enjoying how everyone started ganging up on Crane for the silly question. He didn’t even realize the door to the sim room finally opened until after all the games were done.
“Am I allowed to come out?” He called out into the hallway tentatively. Sassy rubbed her body around his shins.
“Yup! You’re free to go!” Daniel called from what seemed like the kitchen. Max walked into the living room and snorted a laugh. Daniel cackled from the kitchen at his response. 
The tree was dwarfed by a large wrapped box leaned up on the wall beside it. It was comical.
“It's just a small gift you know? Something tiny that I saw and thought of you.” Daniel’s grin was so wide it was almost manic. It was clear how proud of himself he was. Max couldn’t help but grin back, hopeless against Daniel’s joy.
“Daniel, you told me it was ‘ornament sized’!” Max laughed breathlessly as he looked at the tree.
“Max, it's so tiny! Look at it getting lost by the tree, you’ll never know it was there if I didn’t point it out to you.”
They laughed for a bit before Daniel’s grin got smug. “Well it seems like I’m in the lead Maxy Max. My gift for you is already here. I’m what you call prepared with a capital P.”  Daniel folded his arms and nodded his head. All cocky and self-satisfied.
Max rolled his eyes and looked down at Sassy who seemed to be sharing his reaction to Daniel. He’d had a plan, to present the dummy gifts (that actually were small) before bringing the original gift out with a flourish. But Max was nothing if not a competitive asshole who loved to win. So he smirked at Daniel before turning and walking back down the hallway.
“Max?” Daniel called curiously, hearing the sound of a door opening and shuffling. His eyes widened comically when Max re-entered the room with a large box and placed it gently under the tree. 
“Actually Daniel. Your gift, of course, has been here.” Max’s lips quirked upwards as Daniel rewarded him with a breathless laugh, complete with a clap and little hop.
“That's the spirit Maxy!” Daniel walked across the room and pulled Max into his arms. Max was curious as to the nature of Daniel’s gift, but he truly didn’t care. Because this was already one of the best Christmases they’d ever shared.
“I love you, Daniel.” Max murmured, feeling warm all over.
“I love you too, Maxy Max.” Daniel planted a wet kiss on his cheek that had Max dipping his head into Daniel’s shoulder, blushing wildly. Even after all this time.

Can we get a jealous Emma clip of her feeling jealous bc Timo is always gone and she is at home with the kids (they are still young the twins would be about 3) and she sees Timo being interviewed by beautiful women all the time and she thinks he is bored of her bc when he comes home she is worn out and frumpy looking having taken care of the kids all day
So she picks a fight bc she is jealous
I just love how you write T and Emma
I am in love with this. That is all.
Tumblr media
Standing in their master bathroom, Emma Meier is fully aware of how good she looks. Her dark jeans are tight in all the right places. Her black top shows peeks of skin with pleasant views of her ample cleavage. She fluffs her curly, brown hair out then wipes at a smudge of dark purple eye shadow that fell beneath her lashes. She kisses at her reflection in the mirror then walks out to the bedroom to grab her purse. She has on black, expensive, high heeled boots that Timo bought her this past Christmas.
Tonight, it is all about Emma.
Timo is home, ready to take back the reins of caretaking their children. Emma is going out for some damn peace and quiet. She already had her whole night planned out. She’s going to start at her favorite cocktail lounge for a cosmo, then walk down to an Italian dinner place that doesn’t rush you, followed by stopping by their favorite ice cream place in which, she is going to eat her ice cream in peace without a child trying to get a taste. 
Despite a tour of her favorite places, Emma wishes her night had more of a happy glow to it than it does. Instead, burning, acidic resentment has settled into her gut. Bluntly, Timo playing in theN HL is getting old to her. He has flirted with retirement the last few years, but always pulls out the “I’ve got one more in me” when it comes down to decision time. Emma has been patient. She’s been a stay at home mom for the last three years and she wants to spend more time with Timo than they have been. She wants him home, with her, not off being ogled and obsessed over by other women. 
Emma used to not care about the fans, but that was before her body birthed four children, including a set of twins. Things have been much different since their twin boys were born. Emma loves them. She would not change a thing about their life, but today she is struggling to be grateful for it. She needs a break. And that’s what tonight is all about.
With her purse in hand, Emma walks down to where the rest of her family has gathered. She walks to the entryway mirror, well aware of her husband’s eyes on her. She leans forward, running her finger along her maroon lips, pretending to gather a smudge. She can feel Timo’s eyes carve along her curved ass as she leans forward. She pats her lips together then heads to the coat closet, gathering her jacket. 
“You look gorgeous, baby.” He calls. 
“I know.” She sighs back happily. She wants him in that same dumb stupor when she gets home tonight. To do that, she needs to give him as little attention as possible. 
“Who… are you going out with tonight?” He fumbles over his words, blinking rapidly. Emma had told him she was going out tonight, but with little details. Timo had not particularly cared until he saw her looking THAT good. Maybe she is going out with the Devils WAGS?
“Myself.”
“What?” He responds flatly.
“Me.” She repeats slowly, with a hint of attitude. 
“I dont…”
“Care? Me either.” She smirks, then flips her hair out from the collar of her jacket. Her heeled boots clack against the hardwood as she comes into the room, giving kisses to the twins who play together on the floor while staring at Cars 2 on the TV. Liv and Lio are at the table doing homework together. The last person to smooch is her husband. She comes back over, kissing his cheek. His feral eyes drag along her body, but his mouth stays closed. She places her tongue against her top lip, gathering his attention there, then she speaks. “Don’t wait up.” 
His dark eyes follow every sway of her out of their home. He watches her car pull out of their driveway. He is distracted as he puts the babies to bed. He sits wordlessly in the dark the rest of the evening, unable to focus on his TV show while he awaits her return. Then, just after 10:30 pm, he hears the garage door begin to rise. He clicks the TV off, leaving the downstairs dark. He slides quietly into the mudroom, hiding in the shadows to the left of her. She walks in, distractedly tossing her keys into her purse, which gives him the perfect opportunity to pounce her. 
“Oh fuck!” Emma startles when he grabs her. “T.” It’s all she gets out. Then his lips are massacring her mouth. His teeth angrily nips at her as he shoves her up against the door she just walked into.
“How was your night?” He simmers. 
“Good.”
“Yeah, you get the break you needed from me?” He slightly snarls at her, so hot and bothered by her outfit and her disobeying and her aloofness. His hands grope her breast, tugging her shirt and bra down to expose her soft nipple. He brings it harshly into his mouth. Her fingers collect in his hair instinctively. Right now, he could fuck her against their kids cubbies and not think twice about letting her moan his name loudly. 
“Timo.” She groans, head knocking back into the door. He sucks her harder into his mouth, then roughly pulls away, letting the clothing snap back into place. Timo grabs her hips, spinning her around so she is pinned into the garage door. His hard cock presses into her ass cheeks. Emma bites her lip, feeling his fingers drift over her ass as he pulls slightly back. A loud slap fills the mudroom. Emma breathes out a moan, pressing her face to the door.
“You play me tonight before you left?”
“Like a fucking fiddle.” She giggles. Timo slaps her ass again, significantly harder this time. Her cheek burns beneath her jeans. Emma gasps, then groans passionately. 
“You know what happens when you’re not my good girl.” He grabs her face, turning so he can see her side profile. He runs his thumb along her jaw. Emma plays dumb, shaking her head.“You get tied up.” Emma’s eyes widened. “And then blindfolded.” He allows her to turn to face him. Then he grips her neck with his strong, massive hand. Her eyes flutter closed as he comes closer. He smells so good- like sex and home and safety. His lips flirt with the end of her nose. “We okay?” He whispers. Emma gives a discreet nod. Then Timo’s eyes darken again. With a lazy flick of his fingers, he points towards the rest of the house.
“Go be a good girl and pick out your ties.”

“ what ya' think, baby? ”
you blinked, waking up from your usual daydream moment to look at elvis; who was up in a stage, crouching down, while the colonel was in front of him looking at you with that usual mean look he had whenever elvis asked for your opinion (which was always).
you looked around, watching the size of the stage, and when you were about to speak, the colonel beat you to it.
“ oh! and for you, my dear. ” he pointed at you, walking to a part of the audience seats, one where it looked fancy. “ the best seat in the house. ”
elvis chuckled, standing up in the middle of the stage, while you just rolled your eyes when you knew neither of them were looking at you.
“ what she deserves. ” the colonel mutters.
elvis looked at you, again, looking for your approval.
“ it sounds good. ” you softly said, giving a smile just so elvis doesn't question you later.
the colonel laughed happily.
️️ ️️️️️️️️️️️ ️️️️️️️️️⌗‹ 🌼 ¯ ೫₊˚✧୨⌗‹ ¯ ೫₊˚✧⌗‹ ¯ ೫₊˚✧୨⌗‹ 🌼¯ ೫₊˚✧୨
you and elvis were in the suite that the hotel, so kindly, gave you.
doubt was clouding your mind, as always, while you removed your makeup for the night. your eyes catching the sight of some bottle pills next to your bag of makeup.
“ honey, you comin'? ” elvis asked from outside the bathroom door, knocking once.
“ yeah! ” you answered, throwing the used paper full of your makeup to the trash, turning off the lights. getting out of the bathroom, closing the door behind you, watching elvis sitting on the bed with a smile.
“ y' look beautiful. ” he softly said, patting the side next to him.
as you got comfortable under the covers, elvis looked at you, turning off some lights, leaving just the curtains open with the city lights slightly brightening up the room.
“ i wanted to tell you something. ”
everytime he said that, your body starts to tremble, your hands start shaking and your mouth keeps shut.
“ 'm going to leave her. ”
and that was enough for you to stand up from bed.
“ n-no, baby- listen to me, come back to bed. ”
you knew, you knew it.
he told you months ago that priscilla and him were done since you told him you didn't wanted to get between anything, that you hated to feel like the cause of someone's sadness and the worst part of it all was that he told you she didn't love him and he didn't love her, that he was just with her because of his father and that nothing happened between them.
“ i swear there is nothing between me and her! ” he screamed at you.
you were sitting on the floor, holding your head in your hands. you were sure you were in the brink of madness. he drove you crazy.
“ don't be jealous, y'know you' the only one for me. ” he whispered. the way his tone changed so easily scared you more than anything else.
you couldn't even manage to say that you weren't jealous of anything and the mere fact of him thinking that way made you even more angry. your emotions clashing with each other made you feel a rollercoaster of emotions, you felt like you couldn't breathe. he was crouching down to your level so he could 'hug' you, your head in his chest and his chin in the crown of your head.
“ you have a daughter with her.. ” you whispered back, tears flowing in your cheeks without no sound of sobbing. your body was numb, you are sure of it.
“ i will take care of it. ”
you walked quickly into the bathroom, a room you got to know as a safe place, locking yourself in.
you heard a sigh on the other side of the door, a soft knock made you start sobbing, your eyes hurted from how much you've cried since you met him.
“ baby, listen. i know i lied b-but i-. ” he scoffed, probably running his fingers through his hair. “ i couldn't leave just like that, i'm not that type of man. i needed to give her an explanation. ”
you listened with tears in your eyes, hand in your mouth so elvis couldn't hear the way your whole sadness washed away at once.
“ she cried, yes, but it would've been worse if she sued me- you! about anything. can you imagine? ”
you just shook your head, sitting in the toilet with a chilling wind passing through your body, ignoring how he so blatantly tried to make priscilla the villain of the fairytale he wanted to live with you.
“ please, darling, come out. ” a few sobs were heard. “ let me fix this. ”
you opened your door, your eyes quite red from all the crying you did.
“ you will never fix this. you never fix anything. ” you were tired of ignoring what he always did, the way he said he was going to take care of it and then just ignore the problem. “ i don't even want to be here, i want to go with my family back home, i want to go back and just forget that i ever met you. ” you pushed him aside, moving to the drawers that contained your clothes.
“ baby, stop. ”
“ 'm not your baby. ” you talked back, your hand moving to grab a dress.
when suddenly, your arm was yanked back, your chest colliding with his figure, your eyes widening as you took in how angry he looked.
“ you are my baby. ” that tone that scared you to death could be heard in his voice. but you were too angry to see it.
“ i'm. not. ” you tried to walk out but elvis tightened his grip.
“ d'you want me to make your ol' folks life a miserable hell? ” he threatened.
he used that old play move.
he said that to you when after the special he still wanted for you to move to Graceland.
he said that to you when you tried to call your daddy for him to help you out.
he said that to you after you met priscilla and tried to leave him.
and he said that to you now.
“ do you want that? you want to see your daddy begging on the streets? your momma crying to sleep in a cardboard box? ”
your tears started flowing again.
“ remember. it's because of me that your folks have some goddamn money in their names. i'm the reason why your folks have respect and are not being shamed in the street because of what your momma did. ”
you closed your eyes, believing you were still stuck in a nightmare.
when your 'relationship' with elvis became public, everyone went to your parents house. some girls trying to see if elvis was there, some boys trying to catch some glimpses of you and everyone else trying to see if there was something about the both of you that the press could give them money for.
your mother went hysterical, opening up the door and threatening everyone if they didn't left her home. everyone was scared, seeing your dad's shotgun in the middle of the living room.
it got to the newspaper, you, worried as hell, left yourself vulnerable to elvis manipulation.
telling you he would take care of it and, sadly for the future you, he did.
he paid the press a lot of money to say that it was fake news, that your mother was not crazy and that you weren't home. that you were with elvis traveling with him and that the y/l/n house must be free of stalkers and crazy fans.
“ if i was you, ” elvis continued. “ i would be grateful. and the way that i want you to be grateful is for you to be with me. to stick with me. ” his grasp in your arm was non existent in that moment but you didn't noticed, too focused in how he sweet talked his way to you again.
“ 'm not even asking for money. y'know how many people would've taken advantage of you in that moment? they could've asked you for your house, your car- everything you own! ” he moved his hands as he exclaimed. “ but not me, baby. because i love you. ” he softly said.
you were trapped.
but you decided to stay put. for your parents' sake, at least.

after last night you couldn't risk anything, the way that elvis wins everytime is astounding.
you couldn't remember a single time that one of those fights ended with you winning.
now dressing up in some clothes elvis bought you, you could feel your body about to collapse. it was exhausting living with him and fighting everytime you didn't do something he wanted.
you entered the bathroom, leaving the door opened, searching for your lip gloss when a bottle full of pills caught your attention. grabbing it with your manicured hand, you read the paper on it.
' for exhaustion, take two of these. '
you raised your eyebrows, probably elvis' doctor gave him these.
you looked at the door, trying to hear if someone was coming near you before opening the bottle and taking three pills out — one more, just in case as you reached for a cup to fill it water, you started to convince yourself this was good.
just this time. you were tired and you needed it.
drinking the water after putting the pills in your mouth, you swallowed. closing your eyes as the bitter taste of the pills stayed in your tongue for a bit.
“ mrs y/l/n? ” you turned your head to the side while opening your eyes, nodding to some bodyguard elvis hired for you that was standing in the middle of the room; he was probably worried you ran away or something like that.
you just nodded, letting him escort you to the stage room.
they took you to the exact seat the colonel showed you and elvis before but when you sat, you realized you couldn't see almost anything. the people in front of you blocked your sight. the colonel was smart for this.
he told you days ago that you distract elvis, he no longer made eye contact with his fans, he only looked at you. he got close only in the area you were standing in. and that made some fans feel jealous, that in the colonel's book is a lose money situation.
you just sighed and asked for a drink, your pink purse that matched your outfit in the seat next to you while some memphis mafia person sat opposite to you; giving you an apologetic look which you just smiled kindly.
the show went on, with you asking for some soda and food before the bodyguard in charge of your security asked you to accompany him backstage. probably because elvis was about to finish.
as you arrived backstage you saw elvis in the same position in which he said goodbye to the audience but instead of the smile he always has performing, a frown was in his face while he was breathing heavily. he was angry.
some musicians kept saying his praises to him, some of them clapping before leaving only you, some members of the memphis mafia, elvis and the colonel.
“ jerry, take them. ” elvis said, pointing at the rest of the people who weren't you and the colonel. and in the moment where they left, elvis stood up, throwing his towel at the colonel.
“ I COULDN'T SEE HER! ” he screamed with all he had, still breathing heavily from the performance.
the colonel just kept quiet.
“ i couldn't see her. ” his fists were closed. “ and you know that makes me feel like the performance is no good. ”
“ it was good! i think she saw a lot of- ”
“ i don't give a damn what you think. ”
elvis turned around, meeting your eyes, his expression softening.
“ baby, could you see a thing? ”
now you were in a debate.
lie to elvis and say you saw all the show, making the colonel happy that you stood by his side and that would stop him from making you his target... or say the truth and see how elvis tears the colonel down.
“ no. ” you said. “ i couldn't see anything. you can ask jerry. ”
the colonel expression shifted, he was no longer confident and elvis anger was now something you could feel.
he turned to the colonel again.
“ you're fired. ” he grabbed a microphone stand from the stage and threw it to the colonel, barely missing him, making you and colonel parker scared.
“ YOU'RE FIRED, YOU SON OF A BITCH. DON'T EVER COME NEAR HER EVER AGAIN. ”
elvis screamed, now ignoring the colonel pleas to listen to his side, now walking to you; his grasp surprisingly soft when he grabbed your hand.
“ come on, darling. ” and the both of you left the stage.
while walking to the suite you both stayed in, elvis just kept apologizing as if you not seeing the show could kill you.
you could just think in how you chose to tell the truth just because you wanted to see how elvis treated the colonel. just cruel-.
“ will you ever forgive me? ”
“ elvis, it's fine, really. next time you perform i'll see it. ”
“ of course you'll see it, i'll be the one to give you the next seat. ”
he just entered the room, starting to take off his suit, which meant that the conversation was over. you took your cue and started undressing as well to get ready for the night.

elvis was in the process to ending the contract with the colonel, hiring this good lawyer steve binder recommended, threatening to make public the way he made him work countless times and how he took half of his money. the colonel was smart enough to not fight so much about it.
steve binder started working for him, with some other people that elvis trusted, now guaranteeing elvis a good way to keep his career safe.
he had to make a final show in the international hotel, just because of his fans.
you were now sitting in the seat the colonel and the manager of the hotel were sitting just a few days ago, smiling unconsciously at elvis performing. he had a place in some part of your heart, you sadly recognized.
when he was about to wrap up he suddenly asked for the crowd to keep quiet, everyone obeying.
“ thank you, thank you. ” he said between breaths, a hand in his hip while the other one was holding the microphone. “ i just wanted to- i have a surprise. ”
everyone cheered at that, you frowned; looking at jerry who just smiled.
“ so, as i said before, my beautiful girl is here. ” he pointed at where you sat, the same anxious feeling returning to your body which you covered with a 'shy' smile hearing how some people clapped while others whistled. elvis chuckled. “ yeah, a beauty, am i right? ”
you mouthed a thank you, blowing a kiss which he caught with his fist, a smile decorating his features, keeping his fist close to his heart. he loved how tame you were.
suddenly he jumped out of the stage, people gasping around you as he got closer to where you were.
“ darling, i've been wanting to ask you this for a long time. ”
you frowned for a few seconds, tilting your head to the side.
elvis just smiled wider, kneeling in one knee. “ will you marry me? ” you gasped, standing up, and the crowd too, both of you surprised at how he asked it.
you didn't expected this. what the fuck is going on.
“ elvis... ” you whispered, your hands started shaking, hoping for earth to swallow you whole.
chants of 'say yes!' were invading your ears, suddenly feeling everything so close that it made you breath heavily as if yourself did a performance.
“ give 'em what they want. ”
this man had the impudence to say that close to the microphone, making everyone cheer. when you and him knew this was what he wanted.
“ please... don't make me do this. ” you said back, closing your eyes for a few seconds, trying not to cry so people didn't got the wrong impression — you crying would be because you hated this not because you loved it.
elvis just smiled.
as if it was a movie, your life flashed right in front of your eyes.
how you went to school with the hopes of being the better worker at your dream job.
how you started working as a waitress to keep your family out of poverty.
how you befriended the girl who took you to his show.
how you were one of the many people who were hypnotized by elvis presley.
how you smiled and encouraged him at his obsessive ways to get you.
how you obeyed what he ordered you to do because of fear.
and now this.
“ y-yes. ” you shakily said into the mic he shoved in your face.
what happened after was a blur.

My estranged dad just popped into my life to call me, my brother and my mom after 10 years and let’s just say it put me in a really uncomfortable mood that’s hard to describe.
Is there anyway I can request a comforting blurb of Timo comforting Lio in the middle of the night. Maybe Lio had a nightmare where Timo was gone and they sit together at like 2am until Lio falls back asleep and in the morning singer/mama walks in and sees Lio and Timo snoring together?
Timo was up getting water when he heard Lio crying.
He ventured into Lio’s room to find him climbing onto a chair by the window to peer out
“Buddy what’s wrong?”
Lio gasped and looked at Timo “Daddy you’re here?!” And launched himself into Timo’s arms.
Timo holds him, rubbing his back “Of course i’m here. What’s going on, huh?”
Lio sniffles, nuzzling into Timo’s chest more “I had a dream you left!”
Timo sighed, he knew Lio had been struggling lately with Timo going to work. As Oliver had been born you hadn’t been able to give your first born your complete undivided attention and Lio had been struggling.
“Come on bud, let’s get some sleep” Timo suggests, lifting Lio into his arms and down to the couch for the two of them to get some sleep.
They sit for a while talking. Lio had so much to say to Timo and he hadn’t had to chance to sit with the boy for too long as of late.
By two in the morning the two boys had shut their eyes and fallen asleep.
In the morning after you’d woken up with baby Oliver, heading down to the kitchen to get his bottle ready you heard a noise from the living room. You frowned looking at the unbothered baby in your arms and peered around the doorway to see Timo and Lio spread out on the couch, Timo’s hand firmly holding Lio in place as the two snored ever so loudly.
“My boys, my beautiful boys” you mumbled, kissing Oliver’s little nose “I’m a lucky mama”

As I caught sight of a famous figure beneath the marble ballroom arches, my foot caught on one of the Oriental carpets and I went flying with my silver tray of British canapés! The tray clattered on the ballroom tiles, drawing everybody's disgusted stares. I caught the head servant scowling deservedly at me, being far too restrained to give me the public beating I deserved! Another servant who wasn't so inept quickly whisked away the mess, leaving me to wobble to my feet and dust off my Victorian waistcoat and trousers and bow tie.
Only then did I dare an audacious second glance at the celebrity whose incredible manly beauty had distracted me, which isn't to say my worthless display of impropriety was the slightest amount his fault! He seemed to tower a head above the rest of the Victorian elite at the ball. He wore the most fabulously expensive, yet understated in a humble sense, black suit with coat tails and a Victorian top hat. As usual, he was surrounded by adoring celebrities: the world-famous soprano Madame Opera, the railroad baron Sir Steamfield Richmoney who could afford a whole country, the notable and heroic lady spy Violine Violets, Janemily Oceans the inventor of the ladies' Victorian bathing machine, and even Crystal Billiam the wildly popular medium who was the talk of English London high society!!
But even among all these elites, Lord Prince Fides Germen the most elite of them all was looking..... AT ME!!!
*Fides' POV*
I had just watched an ordinary and very pathetic servant fall and drop the expensive Victorian watermelon wedges on the floor. How disgusting, I thought, then I thought he would do for my evening's entertainment. Because even though I was surrounded by my rightful associates, the elites of society's hope, that itself was the problem when it came to my nocturnal tastes! For I was simply TOO dominant that I could never indulge my tastes with my peers. They were all almost as exalted as me! What I needed was an inferior, the scum of London's society, someone who I could punish and discipline, bending him to my indomitable will! Someone like... Lio Dippergate!!!
*Lio's POV*
I couldn't believe my eyes as Lord Prince Fides Germen strode dominantly over to me! I went into a panic and started babbling apologies. "This humble servant is very sorry, Germen-sama, for disrupting your evening with such an unsightly mishap! Please punish me however you see fit, or if you prefer, I shall remove myself from your sight at once!"
"I'll take the first option," he said decisively!! "and the second. Remove yourself up to my bedroom in the Victorian Palace Hotel and await me there where I will decide how you're to be punished."
I couldn't believe my ears! "Yes, your majesty, at once," I told Germen with a humble bow. Up close like this, his jaw was chiselled in stone, his light brown hair formed a crown of fierce spikes and his grey-brown eyes were filled with dark desire and dominance. It made my knees, already forming bruises from the marble floor, feel weak and yet eager for me to be on them. When he did me the undeserved honour of breathing near me, he smelled like English cologne and expensive English champagne. I wanted to serve him as much of it as he could drink (the champagne, not the cologne) for what was I to such a god but someone born to serve him?
Naegi gave me a final lingering look up and down before he turned and strode masculinely back to the adoring opera singer and all the other women (and..... men???) who immediately crowded around the lord prince to bask in his hope.
I stood for a disobediently long moment on my shaking legs and then, with a last shy glance at the incredibly sexy and handsome Fides Germen, I went and left the ball and ran to his hotel room as he'd commanded and let myself in with the staff key!!!
Look up what Victorian hotels were like

— “ 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐣𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐬: 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐈𝐈. ” | Leland McKinney x Female Reader.
Mini Series. Soft smut with Leland because he deserves all the love in the world.
Notes. English isn't my native language so typos and grammar issues are likely.
Warnings. This fic is nsfw, minors dni please.
Enjoy. I hope you enjoy the content. Much love, Cherry. 🍒
… "Are you sure? He asks, and you mumble a 'yeah' before pulling his head towards yours and crashing your lips with his. He lips are all over yours rarely pulling away. The two of you shifting and turning whilst not letting go of each other. But then Leland pulls back, and picks you up bridal style and carries you to your bedroom, gently laying you on your bed. "I'd hate to take off those cute pj's of yours." He said with a smirk, "I don't." You replied and took of the layers of clothing off your body, Leland doing the same with his. You laid on your back as Leland positioned his head between your legs, eating you out. He devoured you, his mouth all over you whilst his hands both held you and toyed with you. His fingers pumping in and out of you while he kissed, licked and sucked every inch of your lady part. You couldn't help but moan at the sensation, your head lost in the feelings and before you could even mumble out a warning your legs started shaking and the familiar sensation washed over you. "I- oh my, Lee I'm, ah mhh I." Leland just chuckles and says: "It's ok baby, cum for me, you're a good girl, you deserve it." You let loose and finally finish, trying to catch your breath as the satisfaction washes over you. "I- ahh I love you Leland." You say, as he crawls on top of you. "I love you too, Y/N. I love you so much." He whispers as he gently runs his finger across your face. He kisses your lips again, you can practically taste yourself on them. As you kiss him back you feel his hard member teasing your entrance, rubbing against it. His lips slowly move down to your neck and then your breasts. "You are so beautiful" he says as his hands and lios are all over your body. He then reaches for your nightstand, opening the drawer and pulling out a condom. He slips the rubber onto his member and looks at you with his big, brown, loving eyes. "May I?" He asks, asking permission to enter you. "Yes darling." You say, and he crawls back on top of you, this time sliding his member in you rather than just teasing you. You once again moan at the sensation, he fills you up so good. And he starts thrusting slowly and steadily. Your hands are all over his back, your head laid down on a mountain of pillows, your eyes closed and your sounds are a mess. Leland couldn't help but be charmed by the site of you so relaxed and trusting in him. He felt so good being in you, and knowing you are experiencing just as much of the pleasure as he was. He closed his eyes as well, letting the pure sensation take over him and guide him. His thrusts have picked up in pace, the steadiness started to alternate between fast and rough to rough but a bit slower. Your moans never coherent but always reassuring. Leland grunted, moaned, and sighed between thrusts. He slowly started going on the slower pace, trying to catch his breath. "Mhh baby turn around please." He asked and you didn't need to be told twice. You turned around letting him re-enter you this time doggy style. After Leland was inside you once again, he places his hands firmly on your waist, and started to thrust again. His moans and grunts visibly louder. You closed your eyes once again, letting the feelings he was giving you take over, your moans freely escaping your lips. He gunts as he keeps on thrusting. You experience an orgasm again, you tried taking control of your messy breaths and shaking body. "Mhhh baby I'm almost done" Leland says as his pace picks up. He goes faster and faster until you feel his body coming to a stop, you feel his entire member temporarily parked in you, his body shaking and his hands holding onto your waist for dear life. "I love you." He says as he slowly pulls out. "No lets get you cleaned up before your parents come back home." "Ok." You reply, but then add: "Lee, will you stay the night? I want more cuddles, I missed you." You look at him with a slight pout and puppy eyes. "Of course I'll stay, but you better get those cute strawberry pj's back on." He says, kissing your forehead. You slip your pjs back on, smiling to yourself for the rest of the night.

Hi...if you don't mind me asking, who are your favorite romantic relationship's couples in books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series (can be canon or non-canon)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before......Thanks....
Hi! Thanks for your ask! This is a good question, and this is my first ask so don’t apologize! Currently my mains are
Dazai/Chuuya aka Soukoku from BSD, I really like their dynamic, just the familiarity they had when they came on screen for the first time together. I think Bungou is really well execute though, so S2 showing that they still can come together and pretty much treat each other the same way / exasperation with no heat? And then the light novels are soo helpful too! I really think they’re sweet for each other, and I just think that’s neat! Plus there’s so much to unpack with their relationship! Yeah Chuuya wasn’t happy when Dazai left, but did he really resent him for it? Did he take it personally? What are they going to do now? All they do whenever they’re together is their best to protect each other.
Gojo Satoru / Geto Suguru from Jujutsu Kaisen, the tragedy! Oh man! It took me a bit to get on board with this, but I’m in for life now. It was the “My six eyes tell me your Geto but my soul knows otherwise.” I haven’t looked back. Gojo so shamelessly admitted that and Geto fighting back? They actually remind me a lot of Soukoku, with the obvious being Gojo = Dazai and Geto = Chuuya, but also Gojo was the one who got left just like Chuuya. So much went wrong for these two when it didn’t have to! If Geto had just took the time to explain, if he didn’t stubbornly try to rationalize his mistake, if Gojo had not taken Geto’s words at face value, if he’d’ve pushed a little more. I really love the impact they had in each other. Geto is the reason Gojo pushes for a better future for young sorcerers (does not seem like it’s going that well) and Gojo was the reason Geto wanted to make the world a better place for sorcerers.
Sun Jing / Qiu Tong from Tamen De Gushi (Their Story), a Chinese manhua. The story is just so cute, innocent, and straight forward. No screwing around, misunderstandings, annoying drama, etc.
Galo / Lio from Promare - this movie was so good! These two are really cute! I’m gonna say they’re semi-canon …
Hua Cheng / Xie Lian Heaven Official’s Blessing. Tragic characters when separated but together work towards their best future! Love it.
Cheng Xiaoshi / Lu Guan from Link Click I watched this on a whim and was so impressed by the characters and story! Im super interested to see where their relationship will take them, especially after what’s been revealed in S2, which I’m still reeling from! I am eagerly waiting for season 3!
I’m curious about yours now! What would you say yours are?
Honorable Mentions in no particular order below the cut
Yeong-sin and Seo-bi from Kingdom (kdrama) even though they don’t interact much, them being the only two survivors of the zombie epidemic in Jiyulheon is really what sets them a part for me although anytime they’re around others they act like they don’t know each oher.
TodoDeku was super cute in a very innocent kind of way. I liked that Todoroki was the first person who wasn’t Izuku’s friend who to saw his potential and see him as competition. I haven’t followed My Hero since S4 tho.
Yoruichi / Soi Fon Bleach; I felt Soi Fon’s devastation, to be joined at the hip and devoted and then abandoned and left behind. Yoruichi is merciless, she didn’t gaf lol.
Speed / Trixie sealed in by the 2008 Speed Racer live actions. They were crazy in the anime.
Astrid / Hiccup from the HTTYD film franchise, what a power couple.
Nancy / Edward from Enchanted, they are wasted by Disney but they’re oh so cute!
Aurora / Phillip from Sleeping Beauty, they are also wasted by Disney.
Goku/Chichi Dragon Ball, Chichi is wasted by Akira.
Steve / Bucky too, from Captain America, the way Steve was constantly ready to raise hell for Bucky got me. I pretend anything Phase 3 and after didn’t happen.

Hey there friend! Just popping in to request a soft lil thing with Alex Shelley where the reader wins their first big title in impact and they have a cute little moment backstage afterwards whilst taking some pictures
~ My Champion ~
Alex Shelley x Zoe (Female!OC)
Word Count: 3048
Warnings: Swearing, Mentions of smut
Type: Fluff
Summary: At Slammiversary, Zoe wins her first title in a triple threat from Deonna and Trinity. After the three count Alex comes running out to celebrate.
A/N: I know that officially, the men were the main event and Josh walked out after, but I switched that up just a bit to give a little more for the story
Tumblr media
Gif is mine
~~~
“Are you nervous for tonight?” Deonna questioned as I sat beside her.
“Is it bad if I say yes?” I smile at her, and she shakes her head.
“Not at all! I know this is something you’ve been pushing to achieve for so long, and you deserve it Zoe.” She replied, placing a reassuring hand on my arm.
We sat and talked for a while, mostly about how the match would go tonight, and having a friend to listen to my worries truly helped. Deonna and I became friends shortly after her arrival in Impact, and it became a tradition for the two of us to sit together before one of us had a title match.
“Babe, there you are.” I heard from behind me, and spotted my boyfriend coming up to us.
“Hey babe, what’s up?” I asked as he wrapped his arms around me from behind.
“Well, I just had a meeting with Scott, and he mentioned that my match has been moved to the co-main event. You, Deonna, and Trinity are going to close the show.” He smiled down at me, and a feeling of dread overcame me.
“What?! When did this happen?” I asked frantically as I began to panic. 
“Hey, Zoe, it’s alright. The match will still go on as normal.” Deonna stated, giving my arm a gentle squeeze. 
I shifted my gaze to her, and she gave me a soft smile. A warm hand drug itself over my arm, and I glanced up to see Alex looking down at me. He wore a smile as well, and when I looked at him, he placed a kiss on my lips. 
“It’s going to be okay.” He reassured me before kissing me a second time.
“You guys are right. I’ve just been so nervous about this.” I sighed before leaning back, my back coming into contact with Alex’s belt. “Shit that’s cold.” I hissed.
Both of them chuckled at my words, and Alex took off his denim jacket before helping me into it. Once he knew it was settled on me, he helped me lean back against him once more, this time the jacket protecting my back from the cold.
“When is Chris fighting?” Deonna asked, and I checked the time from my phone. His match was going to start soon, so we needed to be at the monitor’s for the segment with Alex.
“Soon, which means we should go in a moment.” I spoke, and Deonna nodded at my words.
“I’ll see you later then Zoe. Good luck Alex, you’re going to do great.” She stated before standing up and walking away.
“Are you ready to go beautiful?” Alex asked, massaging my shoulders a little. 
“Yeah, I am. I’m going to try and catch Chris before his match.” I replied, and Alex released my shoulders, giving me the chance to stand.
Once I was up on my feet, Alex reached for my hand, and he interlaced our fingers together. We greeted those who we passed in the hallways as we made our way to the interview area, that way, once Chris’ match came to an end, Alex would be there ready to go. When we arrived, Alex released my hand and gave me a gentle kiss to my lips.
“Could you tell him that I’m proud of him?” Alex asked, a hint of sadness in his eyes.
“Of course, and I’m sure he’s going to appreciate it.” I smiled at him, which he softly returned.
I turned around after that, and began walking over to the guerilla. Lio was standing there waiting for his music, and I watched as he bounced on the heels of his feet. Chris was over in the corner talking with the ABC, since their match would be only seconds after this was. 
“Zoe, what are you doing over here?” Lio questioned.
“I came to check on Chris before the match, and deliver a message to him for Alex. Are you ready for this?” I replied, and asked as he began to shake his arms.
“A little part of me is, yeah.” He answered, but before he could say more, his music began to play. “See you later!” He called as I began walking towards Chris.
He stopped his conversation as he saw me approach them, and the others welcomed me with a smile.
“Hey, Alex wanted me to let you know that he’s proud of you.” I stated, a giant smile plastered on my face.
“I’ll give him my thanks after the match.” He smiled at me. “I heard you got moved to the main event.”
“Terrifyingly so,” I laughed. “That’s your music, time for you to go.”
Chris nodded, and shifted his face into a serious expression, and walked toward the curtain. Ace, Chris, and I watched as he disappeared before they turned to speak with me.
“So, you’re nervous about the main event?” Chris asked.
“Yeah, I mean this is something I’ve worked for, but it’s terrifying that it’s actually here.” They nodded at this, and we heard Lio’s music begin to play again.
“Well, guess we better get ready.” Ace chuckled, trying to bring light to the situation.
“Give me too sweet.” I smiled proudly. 
Ace and I debuted around the same time together in Impact, and we’d always been close because of it. When it was just the two of us trying to make a name for ourselves in Impact, we had each other’s backs, and that never really changed. He was my best friend, through and through, but I was grateful for the other friends I’ve made along the way. Both Sabin and Bey, the Chris’ as we called them, were two of those that came around shortly for me, and we’ve been friends since. The guys too sweeted me, and they smiled as I waved goodbye.
“Hey, babe, I’m over here.” I heard Alex’s voice, and turned my head to the right, spotting him smiling at me. 
“Hey you, how did your segment go?” I asked, smiling as I got closer to him.
“It went well, at least I think so.” He chuckled, a smile forming on his face.
“Alex!” Chris called, and I watched as Alex’s gaze shifted, thus causing me to turn around and spot Chris coming our way.
“Hey man!” Alex retorted, and I watched as the two men struck up a conversation.
It was only a few months after my debut in Impact that I met Chris. Everything around me was nerve-wracking, and I was still adjusting to being in a major company. Seeing my nerves, Chris swore to take me under his wing and make sure that I was safe here, and that I was happy with my career. Since then, he’s been one of the people I trust most in life. Not long after meeting him, he introduced me to Alex. 
“Babe, are you with us?” Alex waved a hand in front of my face, pulling me from my thoughts.
“Oh, sorry, what did I miss?” I asked, and Chris started to laugh. I playfully punched him in the arm, and he pouted, causing Alex to erupt in a fit of laughter.
“We were talking about our favorite bands to listen to.” Chris replied, rubbing his arm in a dramatic effect.
“Well, mine’s definitely got to be FIDLAR.” I smiled, and Alex nodded.
“No way, there’s so many bands to choose from.” Chris groaned. “How can you just pick?”
Alex and him began to argue over which bands were better, allowing me to get distracted in my thoughts once more. The conversation reminded me of my first date with Alex, and a smile grew on my face at the thought. It started with lunch, which we went to a cozy restaurant, and then he took me around town to explore Detroit. I’d just moved there about a month before, but was so busy with Impact and Indies that I didn’t have the time to get around to it before our date. Once our tour was over, Alex took me for a beautiful stroll of the beach at sunset, and that’s the spot where we share some of our best memories. When Alex asked me to move in with him, we were spending time at the beach, and he waited until the sunset arrived to ask, mentioning that it was his favorite memory from our first date, therefore he wanted it to be as important for this.
“Earth to Zoe, are you still there?” Chris asked, but I didn’t notice. 
Everyone knew how I felt about Alex, no matter how much I worked to cover it. Ace was the first to figure it out, and from there he mentioned it to Gia. Second to learn of my feelings was none other than Alex’s best friend, and he instantly came running to me when he realized it. The conversation mostly consisted of “you can’t tell him” and “I won’t but you need to”, even though I never intended to. I wanted to wait for the feelings to disappear on their own, but when Alex asked to talk to me, and told me how he feels, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to tell him the same thing. Once our feelings were known, Alex and I became even more inseparable, much to the annoyance of Chris.
“I think she’s thinking about you.” Chris stated.
“How can you tell?” Alex asked, looking over at me, still lost in my own little world.
“Look at how she’s smiling. She wore that same one when she told me you asked her on a date.” Chris replied, pointing at my face.
“Huh? What’s wrong?” I asked, confusion wrapping itself into my facial expression.
“Ah, there she is!” Chris exclaimed. “Were you thinking about your boyfriend?” 
“Yes sir I was.” I spoke matter of factly. “Mostly about how everyone knew how I felt before he did.” 
“Well, as much as I’d love to hear about how you were thinking of me, I’ve got to go. Nick’s walking out in a second.” Alex smiled at me before placing a kiss on my forehead, causing Chris to gag.
“Did the other two matches end already?” I asked, completely unaware of how much time had passed.
“Yes, they did Miss Daydream.” Chris laughed and I flipped him off.
“I’ll see you after your match. Good luck babe.” Alex said before kissing me.
“The same to you handsome!” I called as he walked away. 
Chris turned to face me, and he wore a smirk, making me know something was up.
“What do you know that I don’t?” I asked, poking him in the chest with my finger.
“Just that Alex has a surprise for you.” Chris said, raising his hands in surrender before walking away.
“What was that about?” Deonna asked as she approached me.
“I’m not sure, to be honest with you. All I know is Alex has a surprise, and he walked away before saying more.” I sighed, bringing a hand up to my hair. 
“Weird, maybe it’s something to congratulate you.” Deonna asked with a smile.
“Possibly, but I’m not sure.” I answer her and begin to pull my hair out of the braid it was in. 
I ran my fingers through my hair as Deonna and I watched the match on the monitor. Alex was quick with his movements, but it was clear they wanted to show it as Nick had the power advantage to take the win. We watched as Alex hit “Sliced Bread” and heard a hiss behind us, causing me to turn around and see Trinity. I smiled and waved at her before turning back around to continue watching that match. As we continued to watch, more of our friends came over to see how this played out. 
“Here is your winner, and still your Impact World Champion, Alex Shelley!” It was announced, and I let out a little scream of excitement. We watched as Alex walked up the ramp, and Chris was right next to me as we waited for him to come back.
“Hey, there’s my champ.” Chris whistled, smiling at Alex. 
“Hey man!” Alex laughed, but stopped when he spotted me.
“Congratulations, champ.” I whispered and watched as Alex smiled.
“I did it for us, baby. We’re gonna run this place.” He whispered back, approaching me. I leaned into his palm as he rested his hand against my face, and smiled up at him.
“Get a room you two!” Ace shouted from the crowd, causing us both to laugh.
“She has a match first!” Sabin called back.
“Did you really think I’d miss it?” I asked.
A rupture of “no” came from the group, and I laughed. When everything seemed to go wrong, these were the people who showed me they could go right. I’d always be thankful for my friends here, no matter what happened to me.
“I’m glad I had a spare jacket waiting for me by the way.” Alex laughed, and I blushed.
“Is it okay if I wear this one tonight?” I asked with red cheeks, and he nodded before kissing me so I could go.
A whistle interrupted us, and I knew that it was time for me to get in position. I gave Alex one last peck before walking to right behind the curtain and waiting for my music to begin. Once it played, I walked out, and made my way to the ring where I waited for Trinity and Deonna. As they came out, I moved out of the ring to give them space. When everyone was out here, I slid back into the ring and got into a corner where I waited for the bell to ring.
The match was back and forth for all of us for a while, each trying to hit their signature move instantly. A quick win wouldn’t be easy, that much was clear for us, so we continued to battle it out. As Trinity was about to end the match, I shoved her out of the ring, and hit Deonna with a Shellshock, giving me the opportunity to pin her. I did exactly that, listening as the ref hit the mat three times, and I scored the win. I quickly rolled off of Deonna and watched as she rolled out of the ring, allowing me room to celebrate. 
“Here is your winner via pinfall, and new Knockouts World Champion, Zoe Scott!” I grabbed the belt from the referee’s hands, and tears fell from my eyes. I raised the belt above my head, and I could hear the fans cheer for me. Truly, it was a dream come true for me. As I was celebrating, the Motor City Machine Guns song began to play, and both men came running to the ring. Chris instantly wrapped me in a massive hug, allowing me a moment to let my tears out. When we let go, he raised my hand, showing everyone that I was supported by him, causing me to smile in between the tears. After a second, he released my hand, and Alex reached for my other one, using it to twirl me into him before placing a passionate kiss on my lips. Normally, I’d kiss him back, but I was caught off guard as Alex and I weren’t public with our relationship. It took a second, but I did end up kissing him back. When the kiss broke, Alex signaled for a mic, and he was granted with one.
“Congratulations to my wonderful girlfriend on winning her first title here in Impact.” Fans screamed when he used that title, and I smiled as tears continued to roll down my cheeks. “I love you so much Zoe.”
I ran into his arms, belt still in my hands, and he embraced me in a tight hug as we celebrated my win. We spent roughly five minutes in the ring before walking back hand in hand with Chris beside me. Once we were in the back, I released Alex’s hand and ran towards the area where I spotted Ace. At this point, I was wearing the belt around my waist, so I was easily able to run into his arms for a hug. 
“You did it Zoe!” He exclaimed, squeezing me. “I’m so fucking proud of you.” 
“Thank you for everything Ace, I mean it. You’ve been my best friend for years, and you never once gave up on me.” I cried, and he began to rub my back.
“Zoe, I’ll always be here for you. You’re my best friend.” He smiled as I pulled away.
I hugged him once more before turning around to see Alex. He was smiling at me, and I ran back into his arms, this time jumping for him to hold me.
“We got a wild Zoe on the loose.” Chris joked, and I laughed, throwing my head back.
“Don’t fall now!” Ace chuckled.
“I won’t drop you, don’t worry.” Alex reassured me, sliding one hand up to support my back.
We spent half an hour with our friends, having a blast and reminiscing on past times. By the end of the night, I was exhausted, and I could tell Alex was too.
“Babe, we can go back to the hotel, you know that right?” I sighed as I laid my head on his shoulder. 
“I know, but I want you to keep having fun.” He answered.
“All I need to have fun is you.” I whispered and kissed his neck.
“Babe, what are you doing?” He groaned as I placed another kiss. 
“Showing you we can have fun too.” I state before kissing higher up.
“We’ll head back and have as much fun as you can handle then,” Alex groaned again as I kissed right under his earlobe. “But I have a question first.”
“What’s up?” I asked, pulling away from him.
“Will you wear my jackets more? They look good on you.” He asked sheepishly.
“Of course I will!” I giggled, excited at the question.
“Good. Now let’s go celebrate.” Alex smirked as he stood up.
“It’s gross to think my best friends are leaving to have sex.” Chris made a disgusted face as he began walking away.
“Oh don’t worry Chris, I’ll make sure to tell you all the details.” I joked.

Ok, I hate to be the person in the corner screaming about Promare relating to MHA and even BKDK again, but, I can't help thinking here----
(spoilers below cut of Promare(Studio Trigger)
OK so it's being said that due to the 2nd's Gear Shift Quirk, Izuku could soon start feeling some heavy consequences of its use, including NOT BEING ABLE TO BREATHE, which, everyone is thinking could be a death flag maybe? At the very least, it would be a huge problem. Especially since Shigaraki isn't KO'd yet and AFO himself is on the way, no doubt to fuck everything up for the Heroes even more(and likely target Izuku and even Katsuki)
Obviously, grain of salt since the chapter isn't officially out yet, and we don't exactly know all the details of what this means.
BUT OK going on this not being able to breathe thing, Remember how in Promare, (SPOILERS, and forgive me I'm a bit rusty on all details) Lio nearly dies at the end, having used all his flame, but Galo, having seen earlier in the film how to revive a Burnish with a Kiss of life--Specifically Breathing their flame into the mouth of the other, does so for Lio.
Tumblr media
(I didn't even use the best/most iconic shot of this moment bc I highly recommend you see it for yourself if you haven't and have decided to read my post anyway--)
It's a Burnish version of CPR but the one between Galo and Lio is treated very tenderly, like a kiss...I'm serious; the scene is slowed down, multiple shots, lighting is immaculate, Galo's tilting of Lio's chin, as shown above is JUST SO GENTLE... Paired with all the tension between these two leading up to this point, this READS LIKE A ROMANCE AND A KISS. (also this is either here nor there, but there's also an instance of what many call Straight-baiting XD)
But do we see where I'm going here?
So, Izuku pushes himself all the way to the brink, and stops being able to breathe as a consequence. The tides turn in ShigAFO's favor as Izuku loses the ability to keep up the fight. Katsuki comes to and pieces together what he's missed while being dazed and confused. Finds that Izuku has been fighting but is not reaching victory, and even worse, is now on the ropes; his time limit is spent. His body is breaking down.
He can't breathe.
And while a lot of them looking on don't know the whys or the details; it's obvious that Izuku is dying, suffocating.
Katsuki, knowing that OFA is a cursed power, can put enough of the puzzle together to know that this is a Quirk that is killing him.
He becomes involved again. He can't stay back anymore. HE IGNITES. He jumps in against everyone's advisements, rockets to Izuku, fights Shig and/or AFO off if he has to.
He hopes it's not too late as he presses his lips to Izuku's, he breathes for him.
Obviously this is a BKDK pipe dream and I know it will not occur but it was a brainworm nonetheless XD I'm sorry/not sorry, I saw Promare and that kiss of life won't leave my brain. It's such a beautiful movie.
Bonus, this is also how the two characters in Promare START:
Tumblr media
I--I'm just saying.
The AU writes itself and Lio reads like a Vigilante Hero Deku. Galo is the fire fighter with the Burning soul and wants to burn brightest, I mean, if that is not BAKUGOU...

Neymar Jr x Original Character
Summary: IN WHICH CHILDHOOD SWEETHEARTS MEET EACH OTHER AGAIN. WAS IT BY CHANCE OR FATE? HOWEVER, IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT SOME PATHS ARE JUST NOT MEANT TO BE CROSSED EVER AGAIN.
Warnings: Mature Language
ᴘʀᴇᴠɪᴏᴜꜱ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ
ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴀᴛᴄʜᴍᴀᴋᴇʀ
It didn't take Neymar long to catch up to the level of drunkenness the group was at. He, Lionel, and Sergio knew that in the following hours, it would be hell at practice. This wasn't the first time that they'd gone out the night before practice, but tonight was different. They all piled into an SUV on their way to the next club that was on Gigi's list for the night. However, it seems like the night of partying may have to come to an end for at least one member of the group. After only being in the car for ten minutes, Anto received an unexpected call from the boy's nanny, sobering her up almost instantly.
"Babe, you can't leave now." Lionel groaned beside Anto, who was currently on the phone with her panicked nanny.
Anto took the phone away from her ear and said, "Lionel, your son lit the nanny's hair on fire AGAIN!" She hissed, rolling her eyes, and said to her nanny, "I'm so sorry; I'll be home soon." She hung up the phone and turned to the group, "Looks like I have to go deal with my little firestarter."
"That's what boys do they light shit on fire! It's hair; it will grow back." He argued, clearly not understanding the severity of the situation, as the others suppressed their laughter.
"¿Qué tal si te quedo el culo y veo cómo te gusta?" Gigi mocked from the front seat.
Lionel reached his hand out, giving her ear a flick, and said, "threaten me again, and I'll tell Cris that you returned the gift his mom gave you last Christmas."
Georgina turned in her seat to face him with swiftness.
"Te voy a matar, joder," she said, her eyes narrowing. Lionel simply smirked in response, knowing he had the upper hand in this situation.
"How did you end up in this friend group, Flor?" Neymar whispered in her ear, pulling her body closer to his. As they watched on from the backseat.
"There's a reason, but I can't think of it right now." She giggled, "Acho que Anto me sequestrou; não tenho certeza." One thing she was sure of was how naturally she and Neymar gravitated toward each other. And the more the drinks flowed, the closer they got. As the night went on, their flirtatious banter continued, and it was clear to everyone—Lionel mostly of the strong chemistry between them. Lionel couldn't help but chuckle at the situation, knowing that Mia had unknowingly stumbled into a romantic encounter with one of the world's most famous footballers.
While at the club, it was clear to Neymar that Lewis and Charles were into Mia. Why wouldn't they be, unlike the models they were used to. Mia was equally, if not far more, beautiful; she had a bubbly personality that became energetic with alcohol. She was intelligent and easy to talk to about anything. Even though Lewis and Charles had to leave early, Neymar didn't miss how they both made sure to give her their numbers.
Neymar was feeling possessive of Mia and was happy that Lewis and Charles had left early, allowing him to have her all to himself. Maybe his emotions were overly stimulated by the alcohol, but even if he were sober, he knew he'd react the same. Neymar just got her back, and he wasn't feeling having to share her with anyone else.
"You know, Mia, my brother is single—"
"Absolutely not Ramos!" Anto shot down. Neymar watched as Mia laughed at the exchange between Anto and Ramos, feeling a sense of satisfaction that she was still his for the night.
"What's wrong with my brother?" Sergio scoffed, sitting up from where he lay in the seat.
Anto looked over at him and said, "Have you met him!"
Sergio chuckled. "I can't argue with that." He said laying back down.
"What about Hakimi? I've heard from a verified source that he has a thing for you." Lio smiled, looking back at Mia.
"Didn't he just get divorced?" Mia asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Maybe you'll be his next wife." Lio grinned, already sensing whose wife she was about to be by how his boy was laying it down thick in the backseat with Mia. Lio was an observant drunk. He's still able to have a great time, but that never meant he wasn't aware of his surroundings. Especially what was happening between his friends.
He's seen Neymar in his player mode; he's seen how he was in boyfriend mode with his ex before that all blew up after he moved to France. But how he was acting with Mia was different. The guy was smiling so much that Lio thought his face might break in half.
Let's see if his theories are correct. "What about Kaylin—"
"Fuck no."

What would Nico’s reaction be to Lex wearing a sundress and a bow in her hair
A/N: Let’s use this to set the stage for 🌸 anon’s upcoming request… Also, I wanna go on vacation with these five. Damn.
The skirt of my sundress swirls around my thighs as Emma and I walk to join the boys at one of the resort restaurants. We are currently vacationing together as a family in Miami. The team has a few off days in southern Florida, so Emma and I flew down with Lio to spend some time soaking in Vitamin D. The gorgeous Atlantic vibes are the perfect compliment to our first dinner here. Nico and Timo had gotten sick of waiting for us to finish getting ready in mine and Nico’s room, so they took Lio down to the bar for a beer. 
We find them sitting on bar stools, chatting with the bartender as Lio sits on the bar with Timo’s arm around him. Lio is blowing spit bubbles and the group of women to the left of the boys are entranced.
“Oh my god I want a baby!” One of them moans. Lexi can see the allure as her and Emma approach. Lio is so cute. A happy baby that loves to suck on his toes and spew baby giggles at any exciting noises or tickles.
“Bbbbbb.” Lio bubbles, spit dribbling onto the surface as his hands patty cake on the bar top.
“So he’s already had his first sip of beer?” Emma chuckles as she comes to her husband. She wraps an arm around his large shoulders, not even glancing to the women that were obviously hitting on our husband’s just now. I give a look, noticing how all of them deflate at Emma Meier’s presence. Yeah, she’s that beautiful. 
Nico’s arms find my waist as he glazes his eyes along my dress. He likes what he sees. It’s a white dress with a linen fabric. Dainty, blue flowers with yellow centers create a busy pattern. The skirt is short, accented by the wedge heels I’m wearing. I feel his fingers slid along the backs of my thighs, teasing his way a bit under the hem to grab my butt.
“Easy access tonight.” He whispers in my ear as I sit on his thigh. He has no idea. “You wearing panties?” He questions as his fingers trail higher. I shake my head no. “Lex.” He groans, resting his forehead on my shoulder. I curl it inwards so I can kiss the top of his head. Now the group of women have looked away all together at seeing me with Nico too. Good. He’s decidedly taken.
Lio reaches for Timo’s cold glass of beer, trying to gum at it with his mouth.
“Buddy, you’re making it look like I actually gave you beer.” Timo chuckles, moving the glass. Emma picks it up, taking a sip and sighing at the flavor.
“Damn, that hits on a humid night.” 
“You want one?” The bartender asks, motioning to both of us.
“Yeah, we have some time before dinner.” Nico encourages. As he responds, his thumbs brush along my bare hips under my dress. 
“A little less of that.”
“Why? Can’t handle it?” I say nothing, just give a little wiggle of my hips that makes him squeeze me in response. “Hey. Not fair.”
The bartender sets two beers down in front of the boys, who funnel them back to us. Lio tries to grope for it.
“Okay, I have to ask..” Emma begins.
“No, babe. I did not give our 7 month old beer.” 
“Okay. Well, daddy has different rules than mommy sometimes.” She widens her eyes at me. 
“Yeah about bedtime, not alcohol consumption.” He taps Emma’s ass making her hide her grin in Timo’s side.
They look so cute together as a family of three. Nico and I have been discussing kids on and off the last few months. We haven’t been married long, but I ache for a baby with him. Spending time with the three Meiers the next few days is going to heighten that desire.
“He didn’t do it. Only because he said he was scared of you.” Nico laughs, thumb stroking across the top of my thigh, igniting fire. I close my eyes and take a sip of beer to stay centered. He is so calm beneath me, like he has no idea what his fingers are doing to me.
“Good. I like him that way.” Emma leans forward to close her lips over Timo’s. 
The four of us fall quiet for a moment, watching Lio try to wiggle over to the group of girls I forgot about. He likes their glittering dresses and bubbly drinks on the bar. 
“Just like his dad.” Emma jokes, picking him up and resting him on her hip. Lio leans forward to suck at her shirt on the side of her breast. “Again, like his dad.” We all laugh, appreciating the baby chuckles that shake Lio in response.

Madness Mansion of Helter Spider 18
꒷꒦˚︶꒦Previous꒷︶꒷꒦˚Chapter Eighteen꒷꒦˚︶꒦Next꒷︶꒷꒦˚
╭── ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅ ──╮
An unknown force have change your situation. No further interaction can be added. Till the unknown force taken care off this world.
╰── ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅ ──╯
When you wake up, the pain was gone. You wake up to find yourself back in the forest, Lio, Cheshire cat, and another cat look down at you worriedly.
"oh, see. They are awake." The black cat with button like pattern for an eyes lick his paws. "I can reconnect with any type of MC. It seems quite easy with you from all I seen." The black cat look at you and back to lio. "This world is quite a cruel one. King should have not let such matter so openly. It's dishonor to the name of knights." He added.
"ehh.. but I can't do anything about the law of this world, Kuma. (●´⌓`●) Even how I pity and felt bad, without you here. It's quite impossible since I'm not on the previous position I once have. I give it to the present king." He look down, sad that his friend is disappointed on him.
"hey now, little black cat from outside. Don't bully Lio." Cheshire cat chuckle hopelessly as he cant resort back either.
" if you two are useless to do anything to help the situation of MC. Then I might as well take them away. Besides looking at the current state of them, they too don't belong in this world. As a proper knight. It's only proper for me to escort them back their real world..." As he says that he picks you up by the nape and start to walk away, Cheshire cat catch up to him but don't stop him from walking, lio as well.
"hey, I know your worried about Kitty. But you really shouldn't do that. That person when he knows you broken what spell he put to kitty, he will be livid." The Maine Coons warned him.
"Kuma your so cool when you said it just now! You give me inspiration again! " Lio chuckle as he jumps and skips around.
The black cat rolled his red eyes at the attitude of those two. He jumps from the ground up to the tree branch while still holding you who don't know what's happening at all. It seems your being catnap again.
Putting you down, he look at his current situation.
"ah... How troublesome. No matter what world. You still the same." You heard him mumble. "That's why I'll protect you since I cannot do anything before... Even as a pass by stranger I'll be your knight, MC." He give you a kitty grin.
"can you help me? Really?"
"hmm. Well I have the powers of eccentrics and that my own mc have upgraded my abilities before they were gone... So I can do much as overcome the world laws... Taking you out is another question. " He hummed as two cats jumps and seat beside you two, admiring the view of the twisted place.
"this world sucks." You heard him mumble.
"well, you aren't wrong.But this is our world. A little stranger from another world cannot understand or see it's true beauty just because of being here for not even a day." Cheshire cat chuckle as he too agree.
"well, even how suck it is. My friends will never dies. So it's okii. We can have fun till the end of time." Lio added. "So I don't think I want to leave this place. It's a paradise for me. There's no rules that stop me for being odd like the outside out will." He added.
"huh... A paradise for king? Such a weird description for this world." Kuma yawns as he surrounded with glowing balls of light that protect him from the rules and laws of the world, without it. He too would suffer in this world.

10 films i love
ty for the tag, @aerogadyne !!!!
Promare. so not to be cringe and make this my number one, but i just. absolutely adore everything about promare: it's funny, the art style is really fun, JYB and Billie Kametz (rest in peace) are there. i think the way it makes very clear, and remains quite adamant, that it is a visual story first and foremost is really fun. I LOVE the opening section, i actually think from a storytelling perspective it's so fascinatingly well done. you can see how it was inspired by the F&F series, how sure, there's a ton of pyrotechnics and shit that's there just to look cool, but there is a genuine heart underneath it that's really sweet and propels the story every single time i watch it. galo and lio are also just. such great protagonists. i adore them both so so much, great watch, 10/10
Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. One of my favorite live action films, this movie really speaks to me. I adore multiverse travel and I've toyed around with the idea of being able to exist in many universes all at once for a story, but I honestly wasn't sure it could be done. Seeing it done on screen so beautifully, so masterfully, and so coherently was just. Mwah. the symbolism was beautiful, the characters were so funny, and the tale of intergenerational wounds (what we inflict on our children is often a different version of what was inflicted on us) is poignant and thoughtfully portrayed and just. yeah. from what i understand, michelle yeoh really took this film over the top with her performance and notes to the directors, and i love how collaborative the space was. here's hoping it gets the recognition it deserves.
Looper. This movie fucks. this movie is everything i want in a sci-fi thriller, because it has so much soul. the way the movie really puts to task the idea of the masculine hero. there's a scene in this movie that just lives with me forever, because it's a scene that feels like it would belong in a gritty realistic action film, and yet it is so so sad. there's no cool music, there isn't a good reason for what happens other than it's procedure, and it physically hurts to watch. on top of that emily blunt is there and i am in love with her.
Knives Out/Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. i'm putting them together not because they're the same film but because they scratch an itch of fun storytelling within a tried and true genre. i am so compelled by stories that have such eye for detail, and i've always been particularly interested in mystery stories. i also am obsessed with the camera technique they used for Knives Out. it's beautiful and i love it so so much.
The Truman Show. also a really really cool movie, i'm obsessed with the way this semi-predicted the sensationalization of people's lives, and the parasocial relationships we now have with people we feel like we "know". moreover, i rly rly like the commentary on art and the idea of caricaturing the self and how that ultimately makes the world around you a caricature, too.
The Adjustment Bureau. one of the first movies i ever really really loved, because i was super obsessed with the idea of trying to go against forces larger than you to be with the person you love (for some strange reason. who knows what that could be. 🌈) i got so interested in how this movie worked, i watched it over and over for years, until i could quote it by rote, and then i read the screenplay because i was desperate to know how it worked. i wouldn't say this is the best movie in the world; far from it. it has this beautiful, interesting premise, but it doesn't take any risks: david and elise are a straight cis white couple with no real barriers other than unforeseen hands saying that they can't. i think there's so much potential here, though, and it's the thing that i was so interested in for so so so long.
Your Name (Kimi no Namae Wa). not to be basic but this movie made me cry a lot. i'm such a sucker for body swap shenanigans in general, on top of time travel, but i rly rly rly liked the idea of two people connecting in spite of space and time and everything to do their damndest to save each other and everyone they loved. just because they cared. i always found that to be so powerful and meaningful.
The Invitation. this is a movie i have mixed feelings about because it was an interesting film and had a lot of really lovely motifs regarding grief, but it was also a film i watched with someone who is no longer in my life. but the music in it is really melancholic and beautiful, and i rly do think it's such a massively good take on how grief is powerful to eat up not just you, but everyone around you, too.
Gone Girl. brooooo this movie was so so so good, i loved it so much, although the first time i saw it i was not a fan because i was sixteen and i had to watch the cunnilingus scene with my dad right next to me. but the second time i watched it i was alone and also 22 and so it was rly good. i just love the bait and switch. i love the evil woman. i love everything about it. fantastic.
probably does not count but the Sense8 movie was bananas and cool and beautiful and i am so sad that show did not get the five seasons it deserved, it was a really, REALLY good idea. it fucked some stuff up, but this show was so queer and unapologetic about it, and i enjoyed just how much of the show was driven by love. i rly rly did.
anyways sorry this is long and full of my rambles, but even doing this list has put into perspective just how much of the same stuff i like LOL. anywho!!! i figure i'll tag... @caffernnn, @suhmayzooka, @relationshipcrimes, @futuresoon, @kavehandtea, @honeydots, @cawfka, @floodedlungs and anyone else who might be interested!! have fun, i want to see your favorite movies if you're up for sharing <3

Top 5 animated characters? Can be from anything as long as they're not flesh
Ummmm I can't rank them and I have pretty basic taste, but:
Aisling, The Secret of Kells
Aisling is a perfect character. Prickly. Kind. Playful. Standoffish. Grouchy. Joyful. All of them at once, sometimes. Her only moral code is curiosity + loyalty. She's so good.
Alma, Undone
She's a raw nerve who knows she needs healing, but she hates the prospect of healing so much that she hurts people so that they'll hurt her back, because the familiarity of pain is preferable to the unknown of getting better. And yet she is fiercely loyal to her family in a way almost indistinguishable from hate; even she doesn't seem to know why she sticks around. And yet she's a ton of fun. Just an unbelievably rich character.
Belle, Beauty and the Beast
Look, this is my favorite Disney movie, and part of that is Belle's kindness and willingness to put herself in danger for people she loves: first her father, then the Beast. Also half her personality is "reads a lot" and that describes me, too.
Galo Thymos/Lio Fotia, Promare
Cheating and combining two characters here, my problematic power couple. Gale is the ultimate himbo. Lio is the ultimate demon twink. And yet neither of them is actually that. They're good people who just have conflicting goals. And they're hot.
Tanjiro Kamado, Demon Slayer
Another good boy! The best boy! I think a common thread of all my favorite characters in any medium is good people whose loyalty to their loved ones gets them into trouble. And in Tanjiro's case, gets them out of it again (then back into more).
