mean luke danes fic? Smut preferably? Age gap and size kink please? Xx
hello! I'm sorry it's a bit short, but I hope you like it! I'm also trying to write more of my non-chris/seb requests as I probably write too much of them, and it's probably unfair for those of you who want to read for another man. also, age and size kink/gap/difference is already applied to my fics.
warning - smut, choking, tummy bulge, mean luke.
18+ only please, the gif I use isn't mine, divider by @newlips

A sharp moan escapes you as Luke pushes your face into the mattress, thrusting into your tight cunt brutally. “Shut up! You never know when to keep your mouth shut!” He growls, his voice rough as he fucks into you. “Why do you think your in this position, huh?”
You whimper, gripping the sheets underneath you. A whine leaves you as Luke’s fist wraps around your hair, making a makeshift ponytail as he pulls you up against his chest. “Was it because you were being a brat all day?” You nod, pushing yourself back on his cock as moans continue to fall from your lips.
“Y–yes! I was a brat! I’m sorry!” Your eyes screw up from the pleasure, and you can feel his cock deep inside your stomach. His brutal thrusts make you see stars, “Luke! Please!” You cry, and your hands move around to grab any part of him. 
Luke’s hand comes around your body, making its way up to your throat and grips tightly. “Shut up! Don’t you see how much of a whore you are?! Letting an old man like myself fuck you!” He grunts, pulling your tiny body flush against him. “Look how fucking tiny you are compared to me!” The moan that falls from your lips causes his cock to throb. “Feel this bulge. That’s my cock deep inside you.” His hand pushes on the bulge forming underneath your flesh. 
Your eyes roll back, not being able to hold on anymore. Your walls pulse around Luke’s thick throbbing member as you let go, sucking him deeper into you. The feel of you squeezing his cock causes Luke to thrust a few more times before burying himself deep inside you, releasing thick spurts of cum, and filling you to the brim.

“so do you…love me back, or?” and “just listen, all right, and stop laughing”
let's call this a part 2 to hallway!juke from the other day because we seemed to like them and i honestly have a whole makeout/third base thing planned for them and this felt like a good bridge between the two
soooo let's call this one rated m just to be safe even though there's only a brief mention of sex things. read at your own discretion!
The elated screams of Flynn, Reggie, and Alex down at the water pierced through the otherwise peaceful scene they’d found themselves in. It had been Luke’s idea for them to all head to the beach for sunset today, and Julie would be lying if she said she wasn’t grateful that the three of them had gone off on their own to leave her and her boyfriend with a little privacy on their stretch of the beach.
She’d brought a big quilt for them to lay out on, and Luke had immediately settled down on it and tugged her down to rest between his legs, his body forming the perfect cradle for hers to watch the sunset.
Now, she heard his chuckle in her ear as Reggie splashed at Flynn and made her scream. Alex was doing his best to stay away from both of them, building his own little sandcastle just out of reach of the rolling California waves.
It had been one blissful, glorious month of officially dating Luke. They fit together like two pieces of the same puzzle, lives meshing perfectly together in a seamless dance. 
Julie made sure to check “beach cuddling” off her list of gross PDA things to do as she snuggled back further into Luke’s warm chest. His arm tightened around her waist, pressing her back against him completely.
“Are we gonna have to drag them away from the water once the sun goes down?” he wondered aloud, watching their three friends frolic and scream out ahead.
Julie nodded against his shoulder. “Oh, definitely. Then they’re all gonna pass out in the car on the way back home. When did we become the mom and dad of the group?”
She felt Luke’s laugh against her back more than she heard it over the crashing waves and squawking of gulls around them. “Hmm, that sounds very stable.” The words were spoken directly to her, goosebumps erupting across her skin as his lips grazed against the shell of her ear.
Julie blushed both at his words and at her body’s instinctual reaction that he’d obviously caught onto, because one of his hands left her waist to rub against her arms like he would warm her up with the friction. Which he probably would, if she was actually cold. “Yeah, well I’m pretty solid,” is the lame line she finally comes up with. And then hates herself immediately for it.
“I don’t know, I think you’re pretty soft.” Luke’s hand squeezed at her waist to emphasize the point, his fingers digging in gently without fluttering around to tickle at her side.
Julie snorted. “That’s true. You’re the solid one.” She reached behind her and poked at his stomach through his cutoff tee. The skin gave no give under her finger, a wall of solid muscle hidden beneath the shirt. Solid, for sure.
Luke flinched, and Julie’s smile turned wicked with the knowledge that he was ticklish. She filed it in the back of her mind as an important note for later.
“I saw that,” Luke mumbled, but Julie just shrugged her shoulders and played dumb about it.
“Mean.” The word comes with a sharper pinch to her side, so Julie craned her neck back and captured her lips with his.
It was obvious Luke wasn’t expecting it, but he was never one to complain about kissing Julie, and he recovered quickly. His lips moved languidly in time with hers, sucking against her bottom lip and then meeting her tongue in the middle when she gasped in surprise. He used one of his hands to guide her arm up and encourage her hand to tangle in the hair at the back of his head, then skimmed all the way down the inside of her arm and down the side of her torso to grasp back at her waist. She arched back into him further as his knuckles just barely skimmed against the edge of her bra on their way back down.
Julie loved Luke for a lot of reasons, but this was definitely up at the top of the list. She figured she could be comfortable kissing him for hours and hours if he’d let her. He was just so good at it. He always fed off her reactions and did things she wasn’t expecting, and kissing him was quickly becoming one of her favorite pastimes.
Determined not to be outdone, Julie nipped at the fullness of his overly-plump bottom lip and pulled back until it released with a little popping sound. Luke whimpered (which made Julie smirk) and immediately covered her lips with his once more. 
His kisses grew slightly more desperate against her, moving faster and slightly more frantically until his mind seemed to catch up with him and he broke away with a start, gasping for breath as he leaned his forehead down on her shoulder.
Julie used the fingers still tucked into his hair to tug him gently out of the home he’d found in her neck. “Hey, you okay?”
At his nod, she snuggled herself back further against him.
And then she froze, and he froze too.
“What is that?”
“Nothing.”
Julie paused for a moment longer, and then she wiggled her hips to push even further back against him. There was no mistaking what she could feel against her tailbone. His sharp intake of breath and fingers flexing against her hip told her everything she needed to know.
She laughed. “Luke.”
“It’s a love boner!” he insisted, face hidden as far in her curls as he could get so she wouldn’t see him blush.
The phrase only made Julie laugh harder. Honestly, a love boner was maybe even worse than a regular one. She giggled and snuggled back against him to show him that she wasn’t freaked out, but she had a hard time suppressing the laughs that forced their way out of her diaphragm at the idea of a “love boner”. Surely that wasn’t real, right? She made a note to Google it later.
Actually, bad thought. She didn’t even want to know what might come up.
And then thinking about that made her laugh even harder until she was slipping down against Luke’s front and he had to tug her back to keep her from falling onto the blanket beneath them.
It got to the point where even Luke was laughing, but she was pretty sure he was more so laughing at her tears and gasping breaths than the whole boner dilemma. And then finally, “Okay, okay, just listen, all right, and stop laughing. I have something to tell you.”
It took her a minute to calm down enough for him to speak, but she made a serious effort to wipe the tears from her eyes and look back at him sincerely with her head rested back against his shoulders. She could do this. He obviously had something important to say.
“Mmkay.” She tangled her hand with one of his against her stomach, and he leaned down to peck her on the tip of her nose before he started speaking again.
“This is…this is all at your pace, okay? I don’t want you to feel like I’m expecting anything from you because we are dating. N-not that I don’t want to do anything, because I do. Eventually. But, like, whenever you want to. I don’t want us to do anything you’re not totally okay with. I’m down to wait as long as you need. For anything. Just promise me you won’t do something because you think it’s what I want, because I’m pretty sure I would hate myself if–”
Julie slid a hand over his mouth to stop the rambling statement. He froze, his seafoam eyes wide and honest as he waited for her response.
She appreciated that he’d said something about it. It wasn’t a conversation they’d had yet, but if school rumors held any merit then he had at least some experience with girls while she had absolutely none with guys. But being forced into doing something she wasn’t ready for wasn’t even something she’d considered when it came to Luke. He’d probably throw himself off the Santa Monica Pier before he did something that might make her uncomfortable.
“That goes both ways, okay? This is an equal relationship. We don’t do anything till we are both ready for it. No “my pace”. This is our pace. We decide everything together.” She leaned up to rest her forehead against Luke’s while she waited for him to consider her words.
After a moment, his nose nudged sweetly against hers. “You’re perfect, you know that?”
Julie rolled her eyes and recaptured his lips. This time, everything she did was returned with tenfold enthusiasm, and his happiness was palpable between them. His teeth nipped gently against her lip before soothing across the area with his tongue, content little hums passing back and forth between their mouths as they kissed.
But if Julie was being honest, she wanted more. She just wasn’t quite sure how to voice it.
Finally she parted from his lips with a gasp, tilting her head back against his chest but keeping a solid hand against the back of his neck to keep him from pulling away. When she applied more pressure to tilt his head down toward her throat, he got the idea and obeyed her wishes eagerly.
Neck kisses were a first for them, but Julie was sure immediately that this wouldn’t be the last time he did this to her. How was he so good at this?
Luke’s teeth scraped against the skin at the corner of her jawline and then his lips traced a path down the column of her neck before settling into a spot right over her clavicle. He applied a gentle sucking pressure there that left her gasping. 
Pleased with her reaction, she felt as he gently nosed the collar of her shirt out of the way to expose more of her heated skin to his mouth. His lips found a spot that made her whine and laved wet kisses to it until she was arching into him and her head thunked against his shoulder.
Was this what it felt like to be turned on? Heaven help her if that was the case.
When he finally pulled away, it was with a distinct kissing sound that left her whimpering and wiggling frenetically against him. Why did he stop? “See, this is an example of me telling you I want more.”
His chuckle was dark and raspy, eyes blown wide and lips red and shiny from all the attention he’d lain upon her. “I know, but I’m not about to maul you on a public beach while our friends try very hard not to pay attention 50 feet away. You deserve better than that.”
The statement surprised Julie. That thought hadn’t even occurred to her. Her eyes scanned the beach for somewhere more private they might be able to go but came up empty. 
Sigh. 
It would have to be continued another day. 
“Wow, you really do love me, don’t you?” The words were meant mostly as a joke, and Luke’s smacking kiss to her cheek made her giggle immediately.
“Seems that way,” he hummed, finally releasing his hold on her to lean back against his hands and watch the sunset as they’d originally intended for this excursion.
She leaned back with him, drumming against his raised thighs on either side of her hips as she turned her attention toward their friends still horsing around closer to the horizon, enjoying the silence and warmth of the boy pressed lovingly against her back.
The silence didn’t last all that long.
“So do you…love me back, or?”
Julie laughed. “Yeah, I think I do.”

Luke is enamored with the new single mom who just moved in. He's not brave enough to make a move. . . at least without a costume. Happy Halloween! Just a fun, small A/U fic I was asked to write :) If you'd like me to write something for you, please PM me!

I had an idea whilst on a road trip earlier, to write one shots based on different songs. So this one came to me whilst I was listening to ‘what ifs’ by Kane Brown and Lauren Alaina. It’s by no means perfect and I might rewrite it but lemme know what you think?!
Luke’s POV
Turning the engine of my car off, I opened the door and walked towards her front door. This was the third date I had been on with Ally, and tonight I was going to ask her if we could make it official. I knocked on her door and took two steps back. Her dad answered the door and invited me in. I smiled and accepted, stepping inside and greeting her mom.
‘Damn, I should have bought her mom some flowers’ I thought, but was soon snapped out of my thoughts when I heard her coming down the stairs. I watched as she got to the bottom. I walked over to her, kissing her cheek. “You look beautiful.” I complimented her and her cheeks turned ever so slightly pink. I put my hand into hers and squeezed it. “Shall we go?” I asked, and she nodded. “Curfew is 10:30, young man.” Her dad reminded me, and I nodded. “She’ll be home safe and sound by 10:29, sir.” I told him, and he smiled, opening the door for us as we left. I led her round to the passenger side of the car, only letting go of her hand to open the door for her. Once she was in, I closed the door and walked around to the drivers side, getting in next to her. I glanced at her and smiled. “What?” She asked, and I looked away for a second before looking back. “Did I tell you you looked beautiful tonight?” I said, and her cheeks pinked up again. I chuckled as I started the engine, and drove to the restaurant.
We parked up and I got out of the car, walking around to open the door for her. She smiled up at me as she got out. “Are you going to do that everytime?” She asked, and I looked at her. “You best believe it.” I said, taking her hand and leading her into the restaurant. I gave my name and and we were seated straight away. The server took our drink orders and left us alone. I reached across the table and took her hand, smiling as she looked into my eyes. It was like she could see into my soul, and the thought took my breath away. I cleared my throat to talk. “Okay, I was going to wait to do this but I don’t think I can wait a second longer.” She looked at me, waiting for me to continue. I smiled nervously. “Ally, will you be my girlfriend?”
Ally’s POV
I looked at Luke in complete shock. Did he really just ask me that? I slowly pulled my hands away from his. Of course I wanted to be, but could I open myself up to getting hurt again? He looked at me, unable to read my expression. I looked down at my lap. “I’m sorry.” I muttered, and he frowned. “Ally? What’s wrong?” He asked. I looked up at him and sighed. “What if….what if you hurt me? What if you leave me? What if you find somebody else and you don’t need me?” I ask. He looked at me and reached for my hand. “Slow down, Ally. I know taking this step is huge, I feel it and I understand. But….what if I was made for you, and you were made for me? What if this is it, if it’s meant to be?” He asked, walking around to where I sat. “Ally I’m not a fool playing a game. I really like you. And I…I don’t take these feelings lightly. When I feel them, I know it’s real. So, Ally, I’ll ask you again, will you be my girlfriend?” He asked, and I smiled, nodding as I wrapped my arms around his neck. “I’d love to be yours, Luke.”

You couldn’t even begin to understand why Caleb did what he did. You and Willie playing as his puppets. Caleb had his eyes on you two to ensure you kept a close eye on the boys.
The guilt that flooded through you every time one of them threw you a smile. Specifically Luke. The minute you met at the club, you knew you were doomed. You wouldn’t be able to get past anything other than being friends, so long as Caleb shadowed your every move.
“Hey, you okay?” You felt his touch caress over your hand. Your focus came back to reality. You shook your head.
“Huh? Yeah, I’m fine.” You could tell Luke probably didn’t believe you. You didn’t believe anything that left your mouth anymore.
“If this is about crossing over…” He nervously smiled at you. “I’m gonna miss you, Y/L/N.” Luke tilted his head to catch your eyes.
Your eyes were still directed to the ground underneath you. Your breathing shuddered. Not wanting to tell Luke the truth. You were almost jealous of Willie. He told the boys the truth and was now on their good side. Luke thought you were on their side. He thought that you were opposed to Caleb’s plan.
The fact was…you were. But Caleb had other plans. He had leverage over you.
“L-Luke I have to tell you to tell you something.” You finally looked up at him. You were on the verge of nearly breaking down right in front of him.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m so sorry for everything.” You started. 
“What are you sorry for?” He laughed.
“Willie told you guys the truth about Caleb, but I wasn’t so honest with you guys.”
“What do you mean?” He let go of your hand. The frown he made caused your heart to ache.
“Caleb was gonna hurt you guys even more if I didn’t help him…If I didn't follow through then...”
“Then she wouldn’t be here right now.” Luke took a step back right as Caleb appeared behind you, placing his hands on your shoulders. You shuddered at his touch.
“Y/n?” A look of betrayal was clear on his face. On the boys.
“Luke you have to know that I didn’t mean for it to be this wa-” You cut off by Caleb. Your mouth was moving but no words could no longer be heard.
“While I have you three here for a minute, let’s chat a bit okay.”
Tears shed as you keep screaming. Luke felt a pang in his chest as he watched you panic, but he couldn’t hear you scream. Caleb silenced you.
“Let her talk first.” Luke clenched his jaw.
“Oh trust me you don’t want to hear this…” He gestured towards your crying and hysterical muted yells. “Save your ears while you can.”
Luke swallowed back a sob as he looked back at Caleb somberly. 
“What are you doing here?”
“I heard from my little Y/n here that you’re looking to cross over tonight. How exciting is that!” Caleb smiled.
Reggie and Alex looked over at you right as you looked down at your feet in shame.
“Congrats on the big show tonight boys. Not everyone gets to play at the Orpheum. Only a lucky few have had the chance.” He smirked.
“Drop the act, okay? We know that it’s your stamp that’s been hurting us.” Luke pulled back his sleeve.
“Ahhh.” Caleb nodded slowly. “Y/n told you?”
“Willie did. He couldn’t see us get hurt anymore…” Alex stepped up, back stepped back feeling intimidated by Caleb’s stare.
“Look, we already told you. We already have a band. We don’t want to join your little club.” 
“Yeah! And you can’t make us either.” Alex tried but shrunk back. ”S-Sir.”
“Well that would just break my heart…if I had one.” He chuckles. “Though I’m sure you’re breaking poor Y/n’s here. Isn’t that right, Y/n?” You flinched as he pressed his hand into your left shoulder.
You only shook your head no.
“Not so talkative now are you.” He mocked you. “She doesn’t have an off switch. You ought to know what I mean, Luke. It’s just blah blah blah blah blah all day. I don’t know how you put up with her?”
“I quite enjoy our talks actually.” Luke scowled at the man.
“Hmm. Anyway, time is sensitive, but when you’re dead that doesn’t matter much anymore, so let’s get going shall we.” Caleb clasped his hands excitedly. Then blew a puff of magic at them causing them to disappear.
“That never gets old.” He leaned back on his hands.
You clenched your jaw, shaking your head at him. Tears viciously fall down your face. 
“What? Oh, don’t look at me at that. It’s your fault you didn’t tell him you were still helping me. Don’t be pointing fingers at me little dove. You did this yourself.” Caleb scoffed then felt he had enough of looking at your crying. He snapped his fingers and watched as you now adorned a black strapped dress with heels. Your hair and makeup were done, but your eyes remained the same. Displaying every broken piece of yourself that was barely holding on. Holding on to any last hope that you’d finally be okay. That your heart would stop feeling so shattered at the hands of Caleb’s doing.
“Don’t even think about shedding another tear.” He warned you, noticing your eyes glisten. "I won't hesitate to turn you into a bird again."
-
The boys had just finished doing You Got Nothing to Lose and you could only watch as their fears and emotions overtook their faces. They were uncomfortable and wanted no part of this. While the crowd applauded and cheered on the band. You cried and wished that Caleb would let them go. You stood up as the band walked off stage and began mingling with the guests. The boys gathered together taking hesitant steps down the stairs and walked over to where you met them halfway.
“Y/n!” Luke looked relieved to see you. He thought you looked even more so beautiful standing in front of him. The gown was a stunning one, but you appeared to be feeling quite the opposite. 
He could see it. The way you shrugged your shoulders and wrapped your arms around yourself. Another tear fell down your cheek as you stared at the ground.
Luke’s thumb gently wipes it away and tilts your head up. You looked so delicate, he was scared to break you even more than you were.
“I’m so sorry.” You mouthed. Luke couldn’t hear your voice but he had never heard you more clearer than now.
“I know. I know you are, but it’s okay.” Luke reassured you. He could feel himself begin to cry as well. You launched yourself into his arms. Luke took a second then did the same.
“D-Don’t go!” Luke could hear the crack in your voice. Luke choked on a sob. Caleb gave you your voice back. “Please don’t leave me!” You begged him.
“We have to get back to Julie. We can’t let her down again.” Luke tried to reason with you. 
“I know Caleb tries to make eternity sound like it might be hell, but you could learn to love it here. Willie always made sure that it was enjoyable…even when it wasn’t.” You nodded trying to convince even yourself that the words you were saying were true. You knew it was a lie though. Nothing about the club was enjoyable, you had your scarred mental health to attest to it.
“You wouldn’t be alone to get through it…I wouldn’t be alone.” You cried.
“Y/n-”
“I know what I’m asking of you is such a selfish thing. I could never give you an ultimatum between me and your music. I wouldn’t do that to you, Luke.” You smiled sadly. Licking your lips as your salty tears reached them. “But if you even for a second felt what I did…when we first sang together, when I got to know you. The real you, then could you consider staying…for me?” You closed your eyes wanting him to say yes, yet you knew what the outcome would be regardless of his verbal confirmation.
“You know I would…” Luke cried. “You know I would in a heartbeat…”
“But...” Your voice cracked as you closed your eyes. You nodded in acceptance.
“But we can’t give up on Julie, we made a promise to her. I promised her…” Luke furrowed his. He didn’t want this. He wanted to be with you.
“I know.” You nodded. Your eyes were still closed. “I wouldn’t give up on her either.” You laughed as more tears fell down your face. “Go to her.” You ushered the boys. You sniffled looking around the club. There was no sign of Caleb. “Just think about where you want to be. Julie’s like a tether. Think of her and it will feel like a pull.”
“Will it work?” Alex asked.
“Only one way to find out.” You laughed slightly.
“Thanks for everything, Y/n.” Alex embraced you.
“Don’t mention it.”  You pulled away from him.
Alex stopped and then felt the said pull. It had been Julie summoning then. "I can feel her..." Alex gasped. Then went first thinking of and only of her, then within a few seconds of him standing there he was gone. You laughed realizing it worked.
“Okay, you’re next Reggie.” You grabbed onto his shoulder pinching them in reassurance. “Just think about Julie, and only her. Think about wanting to see her and wanting to hear her sing. The rest will do its work.” You smiled. Reggie stopped and lunged himself at you.
“We’ll come back for you...” He mumbled into your ear. You wanted to cry right then and there but stopped yourself. He pulled back and gasped, clutching at his chest. He looked at you scared but you nodded in reassurance that what he was feeling was okay, that it was safe, that it was Julie.
"You feel her?" You grinned.
"I-I feel her..." He shed a tear.
“Bye Reg.” You sniffed and let go of his hand. Watching the boy orb out. 
“How did you know that would work?” You turned to face Luke.
“Caused I’ve tried it…” Your voice was shaky. “I-I’ve thought about my family before.” You looked down. “It never worked for me, but I figured hey why not you guys.” You laughed slightly. You wiped away your tears and stepped closer. “Now you have to go, okay.” You smoothed out his blazer. You stopped your hands and then looked up into his eyes. Like your own, his eyes were filled with tears, pain, love…You cupped his face gently and pressed your lips against his. He gripped at your waist pulling you closer.
“You kissed me?” He rasped out.
“It’s what you do with the things you love…” You laughed, choking back a sob. The memory of Reggie kissing his pizza made you smile.
“Y/n-” Luke didn’t want this to be the last time he saw you.
“Go.” You lightly pushed on his shoulder. “Please before he gets back.” You turned around keeping an eye out for Caleb.
“Wait!” He held your hands and crushed his lips against yours. You pulled back gasping for air. This time letting out a small cry.
“God, I love you.” You laughed half-heartedly.
“I love you, Y/n.” He slowly let go of your hand. "I'm coming back for you, okay." You watched as he started flickering away. A faded smile was the last thing you saw. You closed your eyes wanting that to be the last image of him you remembered before doing what you were about to do.
You sucked in a breath as you sobbed. You couldn’t bear the pain in your heart anymore. You couldn’t continue being trapped at the Hollywood Ghost Club. You stumbled back into the wall behind you and slid down until your butt hit the floor.
“Alright let’s get this show on the road. The girls are all set up to start the next number and where are the boys?” Caleb looked around the club, then back at you.
“They’re gone…” You stared motionless ahead of you.
“What do you mean gone?”
“They’re gone. They left you, Caleb. They chose music over being trapped here with you.” You smirked up at the man. “They aren't your problem anymore, and neither am I.” You swallowed.
“What are you talking about?”
That’s when you pulled out the little container from your dress’s pocket. The glow of the tube illuminated your face. You could only stare at it. The one thing you wanted more than anything was now in your possession again.
Your soul.
“Where did you get that?”
“I was always so appreciative of you taking me under your wig Caleb…I was a newly lost ghost, who felt like she had no purpose. Who had no will to live. Yet, turns out I did.” You bit your lip as your emotionless expression caught his attention. “I had a will to live and I had a purpose. Luke was the one who made me realize that there was actually more to me than being your puppet.” You glanced up at him. “Hope you don’t mind…I gave Willie back his soul. Didn’t think you’d need it.” You shrugged. You shook your head as you stared down at your soul. Your light of your soul was slightly dimmer than Willie’s. “You took everything from me. You broke me, and now you can live with the fact that you shattered the last piece that was holding me together. Luke’s free, the boys are free, and they’re gonna take you down. You’re gonna get what’s coming to you, Caleb, I can promise you that. I just won’t be here to see it when it happens.” You fiddled with the container. “I can finally be at peace knowing that the guys got away from you. I can finally be with my family again.” You smiled to yourself. “The second thing I've wanted more than anything.”
“What was the first?” Caleb asked out of curiosity.
“Getting to love, Luke.” You held the glass to your chest. “Even if it was for a little while, but he’ll be okay. All of them will.” With that you broke the container and watched as the glass shattered on the ground. Your soul becoming one with your body again. You gasped as the light overtook you. Then you were gone. Caleb was left standing alone with broken glass at his feet.

fandom: julie and the phantoms (2020), pairing: julie molina and luke patterson, rating: teen, word count: 11,166
“No problem.” Luke’s words were easy-going, but he approached her slowly. She jumped when his knuckles unexpectedly grazed the curve of her neck as he pulled the curtain of her curls to the side, doing his best to drape the springy curls over her left shoulder.
“Sorry.” His voice was gravelly as a soft chuckle passed his lips. “I know my fingers are rough, I always seem to misplace my guitar picks.”
“I know.” She pressed her lips together, guilty. She didn’t want to admit how many times she’d picked up his discarded guitar picks from the stage after a performance. “It’s okay.”
Julie shot Luke a shy smile in the mirror which he returned, his lips titling adorably to one side and his eyes shining. She was down so bad.
Or Luke and Julie go to a Halloween party as Danny and Sandy from Grease. And “You’re The One That I Want” makes a special appearance.

It’s 🎵Exchange Day!!! 🎵
@jatpfebfanfest thanks for letting me be a part of something so cool!!
@locketletters I hope you like it. It was super fun to write. I’ve read lots of stuff with the sunset curve polycule but hadn’t tried to write anything until this one. It ended up being a little more Luke centered than Alex but I hope you still like it!! I’m sorry it’s so short, I’ve had a lot going on.
I give you…
Distractions:
They’d been practicing for almost four hours when Reggie finally flopped onto the couch with a dramatic sigh.
“ Luke, babe, I love you but if we haven’t gotten it yet then it’s just not gonna happen tonight. I’m so tired.”
Luke pouted and protested as if he wasn’t about to fall asleep himself. Reggie looked to Bobby and Alex behind their boyfriend for help. He got a silent matching nod from them both.
“ I wanna cuddle and watch Star Wars and eat pizza.” Reggie whined hoping to entice Luke’s attention away from his guitar and song book long enough for the others to take them away.
Apparently the promise of food and physical affection was enough to temporarily perk his ears up and Reggie reached toward him from his position on the couch with grabby hands. Luke stood, going to plant a quick kiss on Reggie’s cheek and in his moment of distraction set his guitar to the side. Bobby quickly snatched it up and Alex closed the song book.
Reggie did his part by pulling Luke down on top of him on the couch, deepening the kiss. The lead singer practically melted into it for a moment when Reggie’s nimble fingers pulled his orange beanie off to entangle themselves in his hair and pull gently. Luke hummed in contentment before pulling back.
“ I just wanna run this part one more time and then we can stop for the ni- where’s my guitar?” He cut himself off looking around to meet Bobby’s smirk. Reggie giggled from his place on the couch and Luke turned back to him looking betrayed.
“ You tricked me, that wasn’t fair.”
The bass player didn’t even have the decency to look ashamed.
“ Sorry Lu,” Alex piped up from the loft, waving the captured guitar and songbook at him with a smile, “ but we’re all tired and hungry, including you, and you’ve said one more time 14 times already.”
“ You’re the worst,” Luke pouted some more, though there was no bite to his words. As if to punctuate his sentence and prove him wrong his stomach growled loudly.
Bobby shot him a look, hands on his hips.
“ Fine,” Luke finally conceded, sighing and throwing himself unceremoniously onto the couch next to Reggie. He leaned over onto Reg’s shoulder and stared up at him until pretty green eyes rolled fondly at him and the fingers found their way back to his hair to begin gently massaging his scalp.
“ Call me unfair and then pull out the puppy dog eyes that I taught you,” Reg scoffed but didn’t stop either. Alex sat down on Luke’s other side, smiling fondly when he automatically grabbed his hand and interlaced their fingers.
Bobby chuckled, crossing the room to give the blond a quick peck.
“ Lexie, good work love,” he said, “ You too darlin’.” He added to Reggie, who perked up at the praise. “ I’m gonna go order the pizza and pop some popcorn. Somebody set up the VHS player.”
***
30 minutes later they were all cuddled up on the couch, stuffing their faces with pizza and popcorn and listening to Reggie quote along with Empire Strikes Back.
Luke took a swig of his soda and absentmindedly started singing the new song under his breath.
“ Oh my God Patterson! Shut up!” Bobby said, laughing as he shoved a piece of pizza into the other boy’s mouth.
Luke chewed it annoyedly, curling further into Alex’s side. Lex took over playing with Luke’s hair as he munched on his popcorn.
“ It is a really cool song though babe,” he said and Luke automatically relaxed, his eyes slipping closed at Alex’s gentle tugging on his hair. “ We’ll keep working tomorrow, for now let’s just enjoy the night.”
He didn’t get a response because Luke was already asleep. Alex smiled, pressing a kiss into his soft brown curls.
“ Goodnight Rockstar.”

We Run Together
Chapter 2
Going to Cam’s was a long shot, but it was the only semblance of a plan Bobby could come up with. He hadn’t seen them in years, not since shortly after they moved to their own place, and he’d been shuffled off to a different foster placement.
He didn’t even fully realize that’s where he was even running to until he found himself at Cam’s front door, really hoping they still lived there. It was the smallest of all his concerns and the one he forced himself to focus on at present. And he barely let himself do that, knocking rather loudly

Single In, Single Out
Characters: Luke Paterson, Reader
Not Requested
Word Count: 0.6k
Inspiration: Wedding -  Write about a family wedding where you are the only single - besides a ten-year-old.
Tumblr media
Another family wedding to attend, another family gathering where everyone will be asking
“Do you have a boyfriend?”
“When are we going to meet someone from your side y/n?”
“You know, women’s biological clock rings earlier than boys, so if you want to have kids you better worry up,”
Y/n couldn’t handle it anymore, she just wanted them to leave her alone, let her live her single lonely life by herself, she knows that she is the only one of the cousins that has no one, but still…
“Don’t feel bad Y/n, you are not the only one, I also don’t have a boyfriend,” the little girl put her hand on her cousin’s shoulder.
“Kelsey, you are ten years old, it’s normal that you don’t have a boyfriend” she smiled at the little girl.
“No it is not, everyone in my class has one,” and she just walked away to play with the other kids, leaving Y/n alone at the table with her noisy aunts and her lovely mother.
“Well, at least you have company in your singlehood,” her mother said laughing with her aunts following suit.
Seriously? She is comparing her 20 year old daughter being single with a 10 year old being single? Y/n felt like her life was slipping through her fingers and there is nothing  she can do about that. Her being single was always a sore subject in the family, everyone already expected her to at least have a ring on her finger by now.
“You know, I think she is not the only single here,” she shot her head in the direction of her father who appeared out of nowhere, “I heard that the groom’s brother is also a lonely twenty year old,” there it is, calling her lonely again, indirectly this time, at least.
Just because these people were all married before they turned 18, doesn’t mean everyone has to follow their footsteps, most of them are miserable and are just married because of their kids, it’s so wrong that she wants to wait and explore a little before settling down with someone she actually loves and that will complete her life nicely.
“You all know what? I’m done,” they looked at Y/n with their eyebrows crooked and people around them were looking over at their table since she talked a bit loudly, but at this point she don’t give two f’s “I’m done being called single in every language you people know, I am not following your footsteps of marrying my first love, because my first boyfriend was an asshole and cheated on me and now I’m in no rush to find someone to marry, I am 20 years old, for god’s sake, I am not 60 and need to find heirs for when I die, I have all the time in the world,”
They all just stared at her and then kept on talking like nothing had happened, like she was a crazy person having a meltdown. So she went outside for a little bit and sat on a bench that was originally put there for the newly married couple to take pictures, so it was filled with flowers and fairy lights.
She knew the conversation was dead for today, but it would come up another day, either at home or in another family event like this one.
“May I sit?” a stranger asked, a handsome stranger to be noted, “The speech you gave out there was actually quite inspiring,”
“Why? It made you feel good about your love life?”
“Well…not exactly,” he putted his hand in front of her, “I’m Luke Patterson, the other single person in this wedding,”
“Ohh, I’m Y/n, the original single person, nice to meet you,” 
“Nice to meet you too, fellow single,” he laughed as she shaked his hand.
Maybe this wedding wasn’t going to be so bad after all.

A Luke Danes fic where a new girl gets a job with Luke at the diner and they secretly fall for each other? ♥️
hi honey, I hope you like this!
summary - you are new to town and following that you need a job, thankfully luke gives you a job at the diner, only issue is that you both end up falling for the other.
the gif I use isn't mine, divider by @newlips (deactivated)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You were nervous, being new to a small town was one thing but to get a job on the first day was nerve-wracking. It also didn’t help that your new boss was so fine, you didn’t want to mess this up and embarrass yourself in front of him. So now you stood in front of your bed, wondering what to wear to work in a diner. Your clothes laid out neatly as you stare at them, picturing each outfit on your body. You look out the window, hoping the weather could help you decide. 
With a quick decision you choose a large dark grey wool jumper, pairing it with a black mini skirt and some black tights and flats before heading back over to the mirror and clipping your hair back, allowing a few hairs at the front to fall gracefully, framing your face. “Shit!” You curse as you see the time and quickly grab your bag, running out the door. 
You arrive at Luke’s diner, nearly out of breath and head inside, brushing imaginary dust off your clothes. You head over to the counter and anxiously wait for Luke to look up. You smooth out your jumper as you wait, brushing your hair from your face. You pause your movements as he looks up, you smile softly, hoping it helps hide your nerves. “Hi…”
He nods, clearing his throat as he checks you out subtly. “You’re early. Good.” He moves swiftly, reaching underneath the counter and pulling out an apron. “This is for you, you’ll help me take orders and serve said orders to the costumers.” You nod as he hands it over, you copy his movements and wrap the apron around your lower half. You thank him when he hands you the notebook and pen, giving him a small smile. 
Throughout the day, you and Luke connect eyes multiple times, accidentally bumping into one another as you try to walk by, causing the two of you to awkwardly look away or move to the side, but the actions would only keep repeating themselves. When it came to closing time, you head towards the counter and untie your apron, neatly folding it and placing it on top of the bench, with the notebook and pen. You turn, about to tell Luke that you’ve done your part only for you to let out a gasp and bump into him. “I’m so sorry!” 
He grunts. “It’s okay. You did good.” He realises that his hand is resting on your hip and quickly pulls away, his cheeks turning a bright pink. “Sorry.” 
“It’s okay.” You shyly look up at him, knowing the way your heart pumps in your chest is wrong, you couldn’t possibly fall for your boss. Funny enough, you didn’t know Luke was thinking and feeling the same thing as he looked down at you. You both would spend weeks watching the other secretly, imagining what life would be like if you admitted your feelings. Maybe one day you would both find the courage to tell the other.
Tumblr media
thank you for reading!
feedback and reblogs are greatly appreciated.

Juke kisses!
33. An unexpected kiss that shocks the one receiving it.
33. An unexpected kiss that shocks the one receiving it
(all human, high school au)
Luke Patterson has crushed on Julie Molina for the past year now. It was hard not to. She was incredibly pretty, and kind, and talented — her voice... he'd never get over it — and no one ever uttered a bad word about her. She was a year under him, her a sophomore and him a junior, but shared music classes and have spoken a handful of times.
She probably thought nothing of it, he presumed, but he laid thinking of every interaction at night when he couldn't sleep; when even music couldn't satiate his circling thoughts.
A crush was so stupid. He couldn't do anything with it! It pestered his mind and distracted him and he rather suffered through AP Calc than untangle his emotions each time Julie smiled at him.
Alex has suggested to 'just ask her out', but it seemed... impossible. Julie was like the freaking sun, while he was a punk-rock dude trying to get his band off the ground. Reggie believed girls liked guys in rock bands, but Julie sang pop and jazz songs. She didn't even follow Sunset Curve's Instagram.
(Yeah, he checked. Like a fucking idiot.)
She did follow Alex' personal account though, since he was friends with Carrie and Carrie was friends with Julie. But she didn't post that much. The last an exasperated Alex reported was an Instagram Story of Flynn Taylor and her at a coffee shop.
Sitting at the back of the music class, jiggling his leg, he watched the back of Julie's head as she stood up and went to the piano for her assignment. They all had to compose compose a song of thirty seconds and create accompanying lyrics. He'd gone and shredded his guitar to pieces, singing a snippet from 'Now or Never' — he was still working on it — but he was more excited about Julie's act.
Miss Harrison nodded encouragingly, and Julie began.
His entire body stilled when the first lyrics left her mouth. God, she was amazing. She sounded otherworldly, her voice technically strong yet tender and vulnerable enough to touch anyone. Jazz wasn't his preferred genre, but he liked when Julie sang it. Moving to the edge of his seat, he intently watched the way her dark curls danced as she shook her head. It felt like she experienced each of the lyrics as new.
When she finished, he noticed her shaky hands and how quickly they jerked to her sides. Was she nervous? Did she have stage-fright? Luke couldn't imagine that.
When she walked back to her seat, her eyes moved up and met his gaze. With a stuttering heart at the sudden contact, he shot her a smile and thumbs up. Like a loser. She sent a weak smile back and sat down.
Luke closed his eyes with a pained sigh. A thumbs up? What the fuck? He didn't dare looking in her direction for the rest of class.
After the bell rang and they all filed out of the classroom, he noted a flyer taped to the wall. His eager eyes zeroed in on the chunky font. There was an open mic night happening at the Eats & Beats in a couple weeks! Luke straightened up in excitement and took a photo of the flyer, sending it to the group chat with the boys.
Reggie replied immediately with a bunch of emojis and a resounding: YES! Alex replied with the idea to go there after school and already sign up.
What Luke hadn't expected in a million years though, wouldn't even conjure in his dreams, was to find Julie there, leaning over the sign-up sheet with an E&B pen. Flynn leaned against the bar beside her, chattering away.
Reggie bumped into Luke when he'd stopped in the threshold, frozen. "Whoa!"
"Sorry," Luke muttered, moving aside and patting Reggie on the shoulder. "I, uh, got-"
"Distracted," Alex grinned, nodding at the two girls.
Reggie perked up. "Ooh! This is good! This is your shot!"
HIs voice, loud and boisterous, captured the attention of the girls and they looked their way, surprised. Shit. He could kill Reg right now.
"Hey, guys," Flynn exclaimed, waving at them. "Are you signing up for the Open Mic as well?"
Reggie stepped towards her first, all enthusiasm and swagger, followed by a bemused Alex and ending with an awkward Luke. Damn, normally he oozed confidence and had no issue taking the lead, but with her around...
"Yeah!" Reggie said. "Los Feliz is ready for Sunset Curve! Tell you friends!"
"Sure."
Julie handed Alex the pen. "Here. There's one slot left."
"Thank God," the drummer exhaled, quickly jotting the band's name down. "I told you guys we had to leave immediately!"
Somehow, the conversation developed into the five of them sitting at one of the booths and ordering milkshakes, chatting about music and lamenting about school. Luke never hung out with anyone but the boys, so it felt like an out of body experience having Julie sit opposite of him, laughing and talking and chilling with him, holy fucking shit.
Julie was the first to leave when she received a text from her aunt asking about her whereabouts. A sheepish — cute — expression covered her face as she explained the situation and bid them goodbye. Luke watched her go.
Flynn sipped on her shake and eyed him eying her. "You're not subtle, Patterson."
His neck jerked back, gawking at Flynn. "Huh?"
The girl raised a brow, unimpressed, and nodded at the door which Julie left from. "She's, like, super into Nick Dawson."
Oh. Nick Dawson. Of course. He hadn't spoken to the guy, but he knew the sophomore played lacrosse and was decent on the electric guitar. Of course, Julie liked someone from her year: they probably spoke often. Luke knew he had no shot, but having it confirmed... damn. It hurt.
Alex seemed stunned. "Wow. Plot twist."
Reggie pouted. "I'm not sure I like this plot twist."
Flynn shrugged. "Truth hurts."
That evening, he used the shock of Flynn's words to tinker on the lyrics to Now Or Never and reworked a verse. Any strong emotion always helped him write.
Hear the noise, in my head/It's calling out like a voice I can't forget/One life, no regrets/Catch up, got no time to catch my breath
In the weeks leading up to the Open Mic, the band, Julie and Flynn spent more time together. The first time after Flynn's revelation, however, he still acted awkward until an annoyed Alex took charge.
"Stop putting her on a pedastal and talk to her," Alex hissed, before pushing his shoulder and towards Julie.
She watched him stagger and raised her brows, amused. They rented a practice room at school and she was currently sorting through her sheet music. "Are you okay, Luke?" Her voice rolled with ease, like the waves of the ocean, and he had a hard time acting normal about it.
"Yeah," he smiled. "Do you, uh, do you know what you're gonna do?"
"Just a song I've been working on," she shrugged. "It still needs something, but maybe performing it will help me figure it out. What about you guys?"
"The full version of the song I played in class last week," he said. Nerves cracked and began to splinter away. Alex was right. Julie was a fellow musician and he shouldn't act like she was this deity. She was just a girl. He could talk to her. "I'm still working on it, too."
She perked up, intrigued. "Can I read what you have? Maybe I can give some feedback?"
"Uh," he trailed, rubbing the back of his neck, "it's a punk-rock song."
"So?"
"No offense, Julie, but you're a jazz-pop singer."
She frowned. "Just because we don't sing the same, doesn't mean I can't help." Holding out her hand, she beckoned the black notebook clutched in his grip. Another trait he could add to the never-ending list of qualities about her: strong-willed.
And she did help. With a sparkly pencil, she annotated in the margins of his book with her loopy, elegant handwriting. A stark contrast to his chicken scratch. It was honestly impressive she could read it at all.
It was easy working with her, too. Sitting side by side, they didn't always agree with each other, but it never felt like an argument that needed to be won. It was rather like how he talked with the boys: an honest, impassioned discussion about music. And he loved it.
Ever since, him and Julie were actual friends. Luke couldn't fucking believe it. He still liked her, a lot, and it worsened each time they hung out. But he reminded himself Julie liked someone else. He has always valued friendship above all else, even music, and that wouldn't change now.
Reggie was upset by that development when he asked Luke about it. "Aw, what? I'm still hashtag team Juke though."
"Shut up, dork."
Luke reveled in Julie's attention. She really listened to what he wanted to achieve with his songs and had an extensive music history knowledge.
"You should see my dad's office," she joked, "it's just full of music books and nothing else."
Her favourite colour was purple, she made her own friendship bracelets, she enjoyed PB&J sandwiches as a midnight snack, she doodled on her shoes and books and clothes, she loved dahlias, and she smelled like flowers, too. She drank coffee with loads of milk and sugar. She whined the most about science class, but adored her English teacher. Dionne Warwick was her go-to when she felt uninspired. Bit by bit, day by day, Luke began to understand Julie on a deeper level.
On the final evening before the open mic, the two were the last ones in the practice room at school. The lights were already off in the hallway and any moment, the janitor would come by and tell them to pack it up.
"What if I change the ending to this—" Julie played a sequence on the piano. "Instead of the other thing?"
A pensive Luke mulled it over. "Both are awesome, Julie."
"But...?"
"I don't know." Scratching his neck, he placed his guitar down and sat beside her on the piano bench, their legs pressed together. If she heard his hammering heart, then so be it. "Maybe, what if you blend the two together. The first part of the first sequence with the last notes of the other one."
Her head tilted, amused, and handed him her pencil. "Show me, because I don't always speak Luke-lingo, you know."
With a roll of the eye, he tsked. "Luke-lingo. To me, that just means I have my own style."
"Sure," she giggled. That giggle. Why did she have to be so cute?!
Ignoring the warmth filling in his chest and neck, he wrote the alternative ending in the margin and tapped the pencil against it. "Like this."
Julie peered at it. He knew she wore glasses, but she never wore them to school. He bet she looked cute like that, too. "Hmm..." Her hands hovered above the keys, and then, just like that, she played what he wrote with ease. The combined melody sounded like magic, twin smiles blooming on their faces in satisfaction.
When she finished, Julie grinned and squeezed his arm. "Thanks, Luke. It's perfect this way."
The boy chuckled, a little breathy at the contact, but before he could say something (do something), the janitor appeared in the treshold.
"C'mon, lovebirds," he grumbled. "Out."
Red-faced and flustered at the comment, the two left the music room faster than before, until they shared a look and burst out in laughter. It didn't hurt, somehow, to laugh about it. Maybe he was finally getting over it, this silly crush.
"How are you getting home?" Luke asked once outside.
Julie waved her phone around, the light illuminating her face. "My dad's picking me up. You have your bike?"
He nodded, the bike rack a couple feet away with his janky bike waiting on him. That thing has survived many crashes into the Los Feliz bushes.
"Okay," she smiled. It had a glimmer of nervousness to it. Luke suddenly realised how close they stood, just like how they sat at the piano moments ago, and a shortness of breath overtook him. "Goodnight, Luke."
"Night, Julie," he smiled, faint. "We're gonna rock it tomorrow."
"Yeah," she whispered. And then, before he knew it, Julie stretched on her tiptoes and placed a soft kiss on his cheek. Luke froze.
Holy. Shit.
A car rolled into the parking lot and a flushed Julie waved at him. "Bye!"

As I'm sure many of you know, Scott Patterson who played Luke on Gilmore Girls has a Gilmore Girls-themed podcast and Jared made an appearance in one of the recent episodes.
Before we hop into it from henceforth Scott Patterson is gonna appear as SP and Gilmore Girls as GG.
So this interview was uploaded on Oct 6th, but it was done after Kansas con weekend (23rd to the 25th Sept) we know this because near the end of the panel Jared mentions he had been with Jensen the past weekend in Kansas City.
SP asks Jared how things are going and how the family is doing, Jared says they're great and he gives the kid's names, ages, and school grades. Says O is 5 but thinks she’s 35, and rules the roost, and that it's his day off and he was an hour outside of Austin that he and G snuck out there to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
I believe he got away from the hustle and bustle of the city, not sure about his supposed company.
Then SP says he’s in Nova Scotia right now filming a project. That it’s beautiful there, and one of his co-stars is Chad Michael Murray. He doesn't mention what it is he's filming but I was curious so I looked up it's a new show called Sullivan's Crossing.
Jumping right into the questions, was GG Jared's first acting gig that he got hired for? Not technically. Between junior and senior high, he won a contest to be a presenter at the first teen choice awards. At the afterparty, he met Dan Spilo who is his manager to this day, and Spilo asked if he did acting to which Jared replied that he acted in school, and did speech-and-debate, that he loved acting so Spilo gave him his card and told him to keep in touch.
Jared went back to San Antonio to finish his senior year of high school, and Spilo would send him scripts. He would memorize his lines in the script and his mom would film him while she was reading the other character's lines, and Spilo told him he thought he had talent and he could work.
Says his plans were to go to UT Austin and do engineering and premed like his brother had done. And that while his parents were supportive of his acting they thought it sounded like a pipe dream and wanted him to have a backup plan which he was okay with, he was excited to go to Austin and build a life there but then during spring break of his senior year, which fell on Pilot season, he flew out and got a Pilot for a series called Silent Witness which did not get picked up, and that at first his parents were like "okay, you gave it a shot" then the check came in for the Pilot and they were like "follow your dreams son!" 😆He put some of that money away for school then used the rest to drive to Cali with his papaw, his grandfather from his mother’s side. He stayed over at Spilos' house, and did some auditions, and he says back in the 2000s if you were a teenage white dude there was a role for you in every project being made so he got tons of auditions, he booked a guest spot on ER, a movie called A Little Inside, and a four ep guest stint on GG which hadn't aired yet.
At the same time that he got offered those 4 eps on GG he was also offered an independent movie that paid 10 times the money and another that paid 6 times the money. GG hadn’t even aired yet he was this kid who grew up in a small house he was thinking about the money but his agent and manager told him that they thought the show had legs, was intelligent, charming, and heartwarming, and convinced him to grab the GG role instead of the movies.
What does he remember about the audition? He remembers going in, and to the best of his recollection, his first audition was with Lauren and Jaime. They seemed to love him, and he felt like they dug him but he doesn’t know how much of it was them being lovely and professional so he didn’t want to get his hopes up in case they were just nice because he was a kid. Then they brought him back in to audition for Amy and Gavin and they also seemed to dig him, and it was a classic audition room some people were acting really calm and cool while others were acting like they didn't know what they were doing; he went into the room and he said his lines two or three times, had a good feeling from Amy, he felt like she could tell that he was an actor. That he didn’t want to be famous he understood that if he became a successful actor fame might be a part of the equation but he was there to try and tell a story, not for the fame. He had lived 17yrs in Texas, gone to school, and lived a normal life and he thinks that in Amy's mind at least that was refreshing for Dean cause he was a small-town-minded kind of guy even though he grew up in Chicago. He felt at home in Stars Hollow cause he was kind of a low-key guy and Jared was a low-key kid.
SP says the thing that struck all of them was how good of an actor Jared was at such a young age that he was blowing them away, and that his character had one of the greatest character introductions he has ever seen on TV when he meets Rory and they do the book exchange that he was the coolest guy and Jared really knew how to play it and how to handle it. So as critical as he can be with other people’s work he was stunned at how good Jared was and still is that every performance he gave was flawless, and they gush about Jared's performances on the podcast. It was above and beyond what everybody expected and SP didn’t realize until he watched the show how good Jared was.
What was it like meeting Alexis and working with her? She too was a kid from Texas who didn’t know she was going to be on tv, he doesn't know her exact story although he says he would love to know it. But she too was also kind of a fish out of water so that was helpful.
Jared says his comfort zone is acting and focusing on the story. When he got GG it was just 4 eps that's all he had signed a contract for and he thought it was cool that he got to explore a character in more than one ep cause a lot of auditions at the time were for one episode guest slots but with GG he was like "oh 4 episodes how neat".
That in the best way possible he always felt like a guest on the set, even in the seasons where he had more episodes or was more heavily involved in the eps he was in, and that he was famous for how many cookies he would eat every day. He didn't have a lot of money at the time, he had rent to pay so he would go at the end of the day and see if there was any leftover food and there was a big platter of Hollywood company cookies. He shares that one time, maybe during s2 or 3, he was getting more into fitness and aware of calories and it was the early 2000s lots of messages about avoiding saturated fat and getting more fiber, and he randomly called the cookie company one day cause he would eat 8 or 9 of the things and they were not small cookies they were like pancakes. He calls them up and asked for the nutrition like the fats, and calories and stuff so he knew how much to work out to burn it off and the response was "do you like the cookies?" and Jared goes "I love them!" and they tell him"let’s just say this. As much as you love them that’s how many calories they have" they made it clear those cookies were made with love and butter. Says he misses them, they were white chocolate macadamia cookies.
Honestly, fuck the early 2000s view on food, and the damage it has caused in all of us. I hope he has grown a healthier relationship with food, one that doesn't involve worrying about how many calories the cookies he enjoys has and how he's gonna work them off.
Anyways he says through school he had done plays, and debate, and speech and he just loved storytelling. He’s always been a fan of those people who tell a story and everyone is captivated and can make you laugh or cry or both. And at the time while he was filming he still had his housing assignment and secondhand books and thought he’d make as much money as possible and then go back to school. So he was like 'enjoy it while you can'; it wasn’t his career yet, he was thinking the money he could make filming those eps were gonna be helpful to pay for his loans. So he worked really hard on his scenes, and he remembers the exact amount of the paycheck for his first ep of GG. It was 1,234 and he when he got paid he thought he was loaded.
SP says Jared came at it with gratitude and no expectations and Jared comments that even now he comes at it with gratitude. For him, he just really enjoys the work that goes into it and the filming of the scene is the least exciting part what he loves is the rehearsal process whether that's with or without somebody else. His fav part is going through a tv show over and over again and then getting to set to see what sticks and what the rest of the cast and crew wanna do.
Is he similar to Dean? Was he similar to him in high school? In high school, no. He didn't have the confidence Dean had; Dean had a quiet confidence from the get that Jared learned from. He was still 17 he was a kid in every way he'd never left the country, only left the state like twice in his life and it was with his family. San Antonio isn’t a small town but he was kind of a small-town kid, his life was the 3-mile radius around his house which was made up of the grocery store, his school, and his friend's house so maybe similar to Dean because he grew up in Chicago but felt at home in a smaller microcosm. He thinks that was similar, and that he certainly had similarities- he feels like he learned a lot from Dean, that Amy and the gang wrote a character that was really lovable, he had some hiccups across the seasons, but he started out just a good kid.
He mentions there was a scene he was talking about with one of the crew members on Walker and she told him her fam and she were always team Dean and he was like "really?" and she said yeah that the scene where he and Lorelai are eating pizza and talking about his motorcycle seemed sweet, it was wholesome.
SP says one of the ballsiest things he's ever seen a character do on the show is when Dean was over for a movie night and Rory excused herself leaving him and Lorelai alone, and she gave him the speech (the don't hurt my daughter or I'll hurt you speech) and after Lorelie is done he doesn't miss a beat and goes my turn.
That it was very impressive, does Jared remember filming that? He does. He remembers they were all on stage and he remembers the set and he thinks they were on stage 14 or 16.
He also remembers that behind the camera early on in the first season he doesn't remember what he was doing but he was being a little shit and SP walked him into the school set and gave him a talking to because at the time Jared was just playing he was doing the things he would do in school when rehearsing for a play, and the message he remembers from that talk was "hey, we’re working here" and he remembers going "I needed to hear that, right here right now" cause if he wanted to make a career out of it he needed to remember they weren't there to play, it's a job the studio or network was spending millions of dollars. So he thanks SP for that.
The things SP remembers most about Jared on set were their discussions about training and Jared wanting to gain weight. Jared remembers there was a time when he got to set and shook SP's hand not knowing SP had been kickboxing and had like a fracture.
What does he remember about having to film the high school party fight scene with Milo? And how log did it take with that choreography? It was shot at the WB ranch and he feels like they shot it in a night.
GG was known for being a long day he remembers driving off the lot on other occasions at like 6am and driving past the guards and them being like "GG?". They shot in November or December from 6pm to 6 am and Milo was super fit that when you're doing a stunt sequence with somebody who is not super physically capable it’s worrisome cause you don’t know if he's coordinated and you think you're gonna get hurt but he didn’t feel that way with Milo. Milo is fit and seemingly always has been and still is and so he remembers thinking it was gonna be fun, it was a good time. And they’ve always gotten along extremely well, so it helps a lot when you trust and respect those you're working with especially in a physical sequence.
He also says Milo helped show him the ropes cause even a season into GG he was still a white belt, and shares the lunch story about how Milo is the one who let him know they were allowed to leave set.
Does he know or have any guesses as to who Rory's baby daddy is? He doesn’t know for sure, his understanding is that it has changed a couple of times. He has some guesses but he wouldn’t put it past the Palladino's to change it.
Says that when they did the GG reunion he was supposed to be in more of it but at the time he was shooting SPN in Van so they had to whittle it down and grab him on a free day.
Can he talk about his work when it comes to mental health advocacy? He doesn’t like to say that he has mental health struggles, he prefers to say relationship. Shares the quote about pain and suffering, and says he takes his relationship with his mental health very seriously that he sees a doc every week and has for years. It occurred to him that especially in the early GG years, he thinks he’s always had underlying anxiety mostly but also depression, at times he got pretty bad. He felt like there he was playing pretend for a living, buying a house with money he made, in magazines, making new friends but he would go home and cry sometimes, or sit and not do anything.
There was nothing on paper he could write down that he was unhappy about so he didn't know why he was anxious or sad, and he adds the note that you can feel sad and not be depressed. So he would wonder what was wrong with him, then one day with a lot of friends and family and the fandom it was a leap of faith to open up about this, and he was worried and anticipating judgement but instead, he was met with nothing but love and support. His main message is if you feel like you’re alone, you’re not. Humans are human, we all have highs and lows, and someone can be happy on the outside and sad on the inside and that’s okay no feeling is final; keep your head up and be honest about it. The biggest deal for him was to say he was dealing with something while on the outside he looks like he has everything someone could wish for but that doesn’t mean the brain won't do what it does.
Then there's a little bit of talk about spn, what can he say about that experience of being on a single network and dspn for more than two decades? Says spn was CW before the CW, that season 1 was on WB so for many years spn was the only show on tv that was older than the network that aired it. They had a lot of scares and moments they thought they were done for but they were this little show that could and much like GG, it had a very dedicated audience.
That spn was a really magical show and experience it’s where he met his wife who was on s4 (🙄) and where he got to meet people that have become close friends and family, and it's where he feels he earned his black belt. Anything that could be done on screen he did it on spn, it was a huge blessing and the fandom is outstanding that at the cons he'll see faces he's seen over the decades that it doesn’t feel like star-fan it’s like long-time friends. A shared passion. 
SP asks about Jensen. Jared says he just calls him Ackles that he doesn’t think he’s called him Jensen in 12 years.
Is he excited to see how the prequel unfolds? He says yes. This is where he mentions that he had been with Jensen recently in Kansas for the con. Says their kids go to the same school, and that they're dear friends. That he was texting him the day previous because Jensen was talking about some app that you can use to stream tv because sometimes Jared is in his trailer and wants to "watch Walker or whatever"....I love the domesticity but my boy, do you not know Netflix? Hulu? Disney+?
Continuing, he says they talk about all sorts of stuff, that Jensen's a fellow Texan, he grew up in North Dallas, has a wife and three kids and he's (Jared) is a Texan with a wife and three kids, both are country music fans they have lots to talk about; that he's got 3 young kids, and a wife, and a couple of jobs so he doesn't really see anybody unless their last name is Padalecki and live in the same house or they work on Walker (that's a load of bull) but Jensen has directed Walker and they're hoping to get him on board but he's filming in NM right now.
I imagine Jared's internal monologue when talking about Jensen during this podcast was "don't be suspicious" because if you listen to this part of the podcast it's clear, imo, that Jared is being cautious with what he says the most noticeable moment being when he has to pause to figure out how to describe who Jensen is to him after saying that their kids go to the same school, or how he mentions casually texting Jensen and then feels the need to mention they both have wives and that he doesn't really see anybody unless it's his wife and kids or somebody from the set.
SP says that Jensen is a heck of a musician isn’t he? Jared answers that he’s great, he has a great voice, great guitar- that always when they had late nights on spn he’d take his guitar over to Jensen's trailer or vice versa and they’d sit together and strum and play a little bit. Since the day he met him back in 2005, Jensen has been noodling on a guitar and singing his beautiful voice. Even when being cautious the husband jumps out.
Final questions how did Walker come about? During s14 of spn Jensen and he had a conversation and made the decision that it was time to hang up the flannel because their wives and kids lived in Austin and they were working in Van and they felt it was time for them to meet their wives and kids. So they approached the studio network and told them if they did another year it would be their last one. Then talking with Mark Pedowitz who was president of CW at the time he told Jared that if he was ever interested in getting back on camera or developing or something he hoped he would be Jared's first phone call. And Jared sort of tried to talk his way out of it saying it would have to be in Austin and he would want to be a producer to help develop it but Pedowitz was in total agreement.
Jared talked to his manager, and he once again for some reason added the detail that this is the same manager he has had since high school, but anyways he doesn't remember who it was that brought up Walker who is a Texas ranger and the HQ for the rangers is in the Capital of Texas which is Austin so basically it fit and from their initial conversations the idea was always about Walker being a family man who happens to be a ranger, a guy trying the best he can; that he’s been fortunate to have a lot of friends in law enforcement and military and they have difficult jobs but they’re just people. People are people they are human beings with emotions and feelings and highs and lows. He also mentions the oped that he read in the Times about the officer working the border who gave up the badge because they couldn't do what was being asked of them of separating a child from their family.
At the time of this being filmed, he was filming episode 6 of Walker. And he mentioned that Walker Independence had been in development before Walker even aired. That Seamus Fahey who is the showrunner on Walker Independence and was then co-EP for Walker started to think about the Walker family and their roots and he thought there was a story there, Jared agreed and they started to work on it.
Then they do a little GG trivia game and while doing it Jared shares a little LOTR story. So he read the books before the movies came out, and he thinks this was during s3 of GG they were doing a massive scene they shot it on the lot everybody was in it including Ed Herrmann who noticed Jared was reading the book. He went over to Jared and asked him if he was enjoying them, Jared told him he was loving them and that he wanted to get through them before the movies came out, and then Herrmann asked him where he was in the books, Jared replied he was reading Fellowship of the Ring and they had just gone through the mines of Moria. Herrman looks away for a moment then turns back to Jared and recites the passage he had just been reading 5mins ago verbatim.
And that was Jared's appearance on the GG podcast! And this was a lot longer than I expected oh my goodness, if you want to check out the podcast for yourself you can do so through Spotify, Apple Podcast, and iHeart radio.

You could no longer keep track of how long you had been pacing amongst the lounge area where you and your fellow classmates were gathered. The constant worry of not knowing where your three friends were. Your fingernails were just about nonexistent the more you bit them. 
“How long till she stops pacing?” Carrie whispered to Julie. 
“My guess, never.” Julie’s eyes swiftly followed your movements. 
“They should be back by now.” You coiled a loose string from your t-shirt around your finger, unraveled it, then did it again. “Why aren’t they back yet?” 
“They’re boys, with the ability to travel certain distances. Did you really expect them to stay put behind the gates of this school?” 
“No, but with Stryker out there I would’ve expected them to be less reckless.” You peaked out the window, moving the curtain out of the way with a brush of your fingers. “Mostly Alex with his anxiety. Alex would have never agreed to leave. My best bet…Luke did it! He’s always looking for trouble. No doubt he dragged Reggie along with him too. God knows what they’re doing? Why can’t they listen? I mean we’ve told them numerous amounts of times that it’s not safe to go out in public. Especially alone. I mean are they even up to date with the news. Hello people! They still fear us. I cannot believe they left. How they managed to do it without me knowing, who knows? I mean it’s crazy enough that-” Everyone around you drowned out your voice as you rambled on. 
“I can easily put her to sleep in an instant, just say the word.” Carrie’s fingers sparked with a zap. A hinted grin plastered on her face. Charles shook his head at her. 
“No it’s best we refrain from knocking her unconscious and putting her to sleep while she’s under stress, Miss Wilson.” Charles gave her a pointed look. “We wouldn’t want another incident like the last time to happen.” 
“You know she didn’t mean it.” Julie pushed away Carrie’s hand. “Flynn’s fine.” 
“I know, but we can never be too careful.” Carrie eyed you as electricity moved between each of her fingers. 
“Tell me why were not safely behind the gates of the school and instead looking for a stupid necklace, again?” Alex’s eyes darted around the roof. His fingers fiddled with his oversized sweater that fell past his hands. 
“It’s not stupid, Alex, we’re looking for Y/n’s necklace.” Luke moved around some rocks. His face scrunched in concentration as he knelt down. “She lost it here a few weeks ago. We had to leave in a hurry though and it must’ve fallen off. I came back a few times, but I wasn’t able to find it then, plus she hasn’t been able to sleep without it. Now shut up and look.” Luke met Alex’s eyes. “I just want to make it easier for her again, okay.” Luke sighed as Alex continued to stare at him. 
“By risking your life?” Alex looked at him bewildered. His hands waving around him crazily. “The risk of being seen has increased, people still fear of us, and not to mention some scary soldier guy is out to get us all. Come on Luke, can’t Y/n just- by a new one.” Alex suggested with a hesitant grin. 
“Geeze you sound like Carrie.” Reggie eyed him. 
“Alex, she made Flynn’s worst fear come true.” Luke’s voice was low and steady.
“Isn’t she scared of drowning?” Reggie tilted his head. 
“Yeah and while Y/n was asleep, she flooded Flynn’s entire room with water that came out of nowhere!” Luke exclaimed. “Remember? Professor X had Jean and Julie help us remove the water. The hallways were wet for days.” 
“I thought there was a pipe burst?” Reggie looked confused. There were now two sides of a story he didn’t know which one to believe. ”I’m so confused…”
“That seems like a long time though…” Alex stuffed his hand into his pockets. “We haven’t had a mishap since, and Y/n’s only done it once. Who’s to say it’ll even happen again?” Alex pointed out. 
“That was three weeks ago, Alex.” Luke frowned. “Professor X said she’s getting worse, and if it comes to it. She could possibly set off her own fear. That’s why I have to find that necklace!” Luke turned around and knelt down again. 
“We’ll help.” 
“Yeah.” Alex nodded, going off to one side to begin looking.
“You guys didn’t need to come, ya know. I would’ve been fine on my own. No need for you two to risk your own lives.” Luke gestured to them as they searched. 
“You’d think we’d let you leave by yourself, hilarious.” Alex mocked with a laugh. His hands getting dirty due to the dirt on the ground. 
“Yeah, nothing like the three amigos, working together.” Reggie jokes. 
“She just had to lose it on a rooftop…covered with rocks.” Alex placed his hands on his hips. They had barely covered half the area. From the wind rustling through their hair, to the busy streets below them. It almost felt too normal. Too calm as three mutants walked around on a rooftop. They hadn’t been disturbed.
“Guys is it just me or are you getting an off feeli-“ 
“Hey I think I found it!” Reggie exclaimed as he ran over to Luke. Luke’s eyes crinkled at the corners as he carefully grabbed the gold chain from Reggie’s palm. It was in fact your necklace. The star shaped pendant was a bit dirty, but nothing seemed to be missing or broken. 
“Atta boy Reg!” Luke slapped the side of Reggie’s shoulder. “Y/n is gonna be so happy to have this back!” 
“Great can we go now?” Alex wrapped his arms around himself, feeling the effects of the cold night. He kept looking around, something felt off to him.
“Yeah we should head back before everyone starts worrying.” Reggie agreed.
“No need to worry guys, Y/n and Professor X will be happy as long as we get back in one pi-“ Luke choked up as he felt something pierce through him. Two bullets going through his shoulder and abdomen. He glanced down at his shirt that was now bleeding through. Luke looked up at Alex and Reggie who looked at him with wide eyes. Alex stumbled back as a bullet lodged itself into his shoulder blade.
“A-Alex…” Luke’s voice trembled as he lost his balance. Alex rushed to catch him before he could hit the ground.
“We got you!” Alex held the boy tightly.
“Y-Y/n-“ Luke sputtered out blood from his mouth. “S-She’s-”
“D-Don’t talk okay we’re heading home- Reggie now!” Alex groaned, clutching his shoulder as he heard another shot go off. Reggie closed his eyes, quickly wrapping his arms around his two friends and teleported them back to the school.
-
“Where could they be, and why didn’t they say anything?” You let your arms drop to your sides. Everyone was noticing your frustrations building up. “Why do they always do this? God they are gonna be in so much trouble when they get here!” You curled your fists. Digging your nails into your palms. You hadn’t realized you had closed your eyes. All your fears and concerns building up like a ticking time bomb.
“Help!” You all turned your heads towards the sound of the yells.
You didn’t wait another second before you sprinted out the lounge and towards the grand foyer entrance.
“Charles!” Reggie rasped as he kept looking over his shoulder. Luke was slipping in and out, while Alex sat on the ground applying pressure to Luke’s wound. “Someone help us!”
“Reggie!” You had barely rounded the corner before you saw the horrifying scene. Alex’s hands were covered in your boyfriend’s blood. “Oh my god…” You gasped, tripping over your own feet as you went to him. “L-Luke?” You didn’t know where to place your hands. “What the hell happened?” You snapped. Reggie flinching back against your harsh stares and teary eyes. “Reggie, what happened?” You rasped out.
“I-I don’t it all happened so fast- I don’t know-“ Reggie sputtered out his eyes glossing over.
“Hey, hey, it’s okay.” You cooed at him. “Don’t strain yourself.” Reggie nodded keeping pressure on Luke’s wounds. You glanced down at Luke who’s eyes were barely open. You smiled sadly at him caressing his cheek. “Where’d you go, trouble?” You lightly teased. Your pained laugh slipping past your lips. “You’re gonna be fine, okay. You’re home now.” You reassured him. Luke only gave a slight nod.
“Guys what- Oh god, Carrie go get Hank tell him to meet us down in the lab- now!” Julie rounded the corner just then ushering the blonde to go and find him. Everyone soon rounded around the wall. Taking in the blood and Luke laid across in Reggie’s lap.
“Step aside kids, make room, make room!” Charles rolled in. Going over in his chair to where everyone was.
“T-That’s a lot of blood…” Alex trailed off. His eyes rolling to the back of his head. He fell back with a slight thump.
“Alex, oh god!” Julie hovered over him, patting the side of his face. “Hey buddy, come back to us…” Julie nervously chuckled. “Wake up!” Your mouth agape as you watched her slap Alex back to conscious harshly.
“Well that’s one way to do it.” Charles’ face scrunched up.
“Ow!” Alex moaned out, now placing a hand on his cheek.
“Alex what happened out there?” Julie brought his attention onto her. Alex blinked a few times before he spoke.
“I don’t know, t-they just came out of nowhere…the bullets.” Alex clenched his teeth. You caught sight of his shoulder.
“Alex you’re hurt!” You pushed his sweater past his shoulder. Willie came over to comfort his boyfriend.
“Luke was hit first, then more were fired. We got out of there as fast as we could.” Alex moaned as soon as Willie applied pressure to his shoulder.
“Did you see anyone?” Charles asked.
“No…I’m sorry.” Alex’s pained expression made Charles break.
“It’s alright Alex, we’ll talk more later. Let’s worry about those wounds first.”
“We’re wasting time, I’m taking him down to the lab.” Reggie extended his hand out and grabbed Alex’s hand. Willie held onto Alex, then Reggie teleported them all out of the room.
You stayed back staring down at your hands that were now covered in blood. Julie slid over and wrapped her arms around you. Your body heaving as you cried.
“Hey now, it’s okay. He’s gonna be fine. You’ll see.” Julie rubbed your shoulders, talking softly. “Luke’s gonna be fine.”
-
“I knew I shouldn’t have let them out of my sight. They always have to do something stupid and dangerous. God I’m such an idiot“ You cried as you slid down the wall to the ground curling in on yourself.
“No you’re not!” Charles scolded you. “I’m more to blame than you are my darling.” You looked up at him with tears in your eyes.
“What do you mean?” Your voice rasped as asked him.
“Well…” Charles reached into his pocket to get something. “From the looks of it, it appears Luke’s little field trip didn’t seem stupid to him.” He dangled the golden chain in front of you. Your eyes widened as you recognized the pendant from anywhere. You had lost the piece of jewelry a while ago. You gasped as you gently took it from him. Your thumb rubbing over the star. “I knew where he was going…” Charles averted his gaze away from yours guilty. You looked at him in shock. “He told me that he was going to retrieve that pendant…no matter what.”
“You knew this whole time?” You croaked. “You knew the risks-”
“Luke knew just as much as I did how dangerous it was to leave the school grounds.” You looked up at Charles. “He knew what he was doing, Y/n.”
“It was a stupid necklace though, he shouldn’t have gone. God I should’ve known something was up. I could have gone with-”
“Luke thought it’d be best not to tell you. His concern being you would have wanted to tag along.”
“He’s not wrong.” You smiled sadly.
“He planned it all out so you wouldn’t have found out. He cares deeply about you Y/n. There is nothing he wouldn’t do for you.”
“Luke sure has a habit for the theatrics huh?” You laughed as a few tears fell. “When he said he’d take a bullet for me…I didn’t think he actually meant it.” You palmed your face shaking your head. You recalled the time where he snuck you out of your room, for a midnight date in the garden. He said he would have rather died than let anything happen to you. At the time you thought he was being a sap, but turns out this was only the beginning of many bullets he’d take for you, you just didn’t know it. “Why did he leave? Why did any of them leave? Alex surely would have talked some sense into him, right?”
“Y/n…ever since you lost the necklace, you haven’t been sleeping well.” Charles sighed, not wanting to tell you the extremities of what being a psionic resulted in, and the rude awakening of your power. He had no idea how to handle it, handle you. “Three weeks ago, you were asleep, many of your classmates were still awake, however, while you were napping…” He paused.
“What?” You perked up fearing the worst of what you could have done.
“While asleep, you flooded Flynn’s bedroom while she was sleeping. She almost drowned, Y/n.” You stared at him in horror, your hands covered your mouth in shock. “Luke was the one that didn’t want to tell you because he knew how much you were struggling to control your powers already. He didn’t want this to scare you.”
“You said I was getting better…You said, oh god, Flynn.” Your heart rate was picking up. You now understood why she had been acting strange around you for the past weeks. Why your classmates kept spilling their cups of water in front of you causing you to slip. The pool party, the prank in the bathroom. They knew what you did to Flynn, so they mocked you with her own fear. You made her biggest fear come true, and now she was scared of you. “I hurt Flynn, that’s why she won’t talk to me. It’s because she’s scared of me.” You gripped at your hair. Voices and thoughts began clouding up in your head. “You lied…” Your voice grew small. You stood up from the ground. “You lied to me!” You backed up. The fear in your eyes was prominent. Charles had never seen you so scared, scared of yourself for that matter.
“Now Y/n darling please under-” Charles reached a hand out for you.
“I’m a danger to everyone, you said I’d be safe here, but my friends, my classmates, you, Hank, you’re all in danger...because of me!” You kept backing up, shaking your head. You were in denial. You were scared. “I hurt Flynn…I hurt her, I’m the risk, not Stryker and his team.” You whimpered. “I’m a monster.” You pulled at your roots. You closed your eyes, voices rang through your ears causing you to cup them to try and drown them out.
“Watch out the freak has arrived.” An illusion of your classmate Tessa and a few of her friends walking from one wall of the hallway and disappearing into the other side, appeared.
“Don’t get too close.” The illusions continued right between you and Charles. The voices caught the attention of those who lingered in the foyer.
“I recommend any dorm but the ones on the third floor.”
“Don’t tell her your biggest fear, she’ll use it against you.”
“Leave her alone guys!” Luke appeared next in front of you and Charles. “Oops I spilled a bit of water there.” Fake Tessa laughs at you.
“What did I do?” You continued walking backwards. Your ears covered by your hands, your eyes shut. “What did I do?” You whimpered.
Charles grew scared as you kept creating telepathic illusions of everyone who had been mean to you. You weren’t even asleep, which is when your power would be at its full capacity, but here you were, fully awake, which meant you had somehow reached your powers true potential.
He pressed two fingers to his temple grunting at the excruciating pain he was in. “Y/n dear, their words mean nothing. You are not a freak, okay!”
Julie, Carrie and Reggie, along with Willie and a few others lingered behind him watching you break down. Watching fake illusions of Tessa appear in front of their very eyes. You had opened your eyes shrinking into a ball watching the horrid memory play before you.
“This is what you get for what you did!” Fake Tessa had pushed your head in the toilet.
Alex came up the stairs with a sling on. His eyes widened as he took in the scene in front of him. “Professor X how is she doing this?” Alex yelled over the illusions.
“I don’t know Alex. She’s only ever created them asleep!” Charles exclaimed. In the corner of his eyes he caught Tessa looking at you with fear and regret. Everyone got a taste of her harshness and toxic behavior first hand.
Many of your classmates spared her a glance. “Where’s Luke?” Charles looked up at Alex.
“Hank just finished stitching him up…he’s still under.” Just what Charles didn’t want to hear. Luke was your anchor, and in times like this it helped to have him here.
“Y/n you have to stop this!” Charles’ voice was in your head.
“I don’t know how?”
“Yes you do, you’re strong enough!”
Charles was about to encourage you some more until Tessa felt the need to talk. “Y/n stop this!” You flinched as she walked around the illusion to get to you. “Tessa get back!” Charles demanded.
“I can’t!” You yelled, shaking your head no.
“Yes you can. You can do this, you just don’t believe in yourself enough!” She was not helping. “Stop this right now before you hurt everyone here!” Charles thought she was getting through to you until… “Don’t hurt everyone, like you hurt Flynn!” There it was. Tessa made the mistake of putting her hands on your shoulder. Her fear showing itself in your mind. Your eyes shimmered with tears. A whimper leaving your mouth.
“I’m so sorry…” You cried as you looked behind her in fear. Tessa turned around slowly to see what you had been looking at.
Everyone took a step back looking at the man covered in blood. A pick axe lodged into the side of his head.
“No…” Tessa bottom lip quivered as she tried hiding behind you. “Please no, no no no, make it go away. Make it go away!” Tessa pleaded, beating her fists into your back. “Make it stop!” 
“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.” You cried as you tried comforting her. “R-Run Tessa, run!” You sobbed, watching as she let you go and took off down the hallway.
Your classmates began running in a panicked frenzy, their screams overwhelming you, you had accidentally created another one of your classmates’ fears. A creepy clown laughed at you, taking off past you.
Charles, Alex, Reggie, Julie, Carrie, Willie, and surprisingly Flynn stayed behind. Watching you fall to the ground as more of your classmates’ fears conjured out of thin air. The harsh reality, every single illusion was real. They could hurt you, touch you. That was the real curse of your so-called gift, as Charles once put it. The problem wasn’t whether they’d tell you their fears or not. Hell Flynn never told you about her fear, and yet…she almost drowned. They just appeared out of nowhere, and you made them real.
“I’m sorry…” You whimpered as a gigantic spider appeared, crawling away. Charles made sure to hide everyone behind him. You looked up defeated. “I can’t stop this, Charles.”
“Yes you can my dear. You can, it’s all about what’s in here.” He motioned to his temple. “It’s all in here!” You only shook your head. You laid your head in between your knees in the middle of the hallway.
“Alex I need you to take the rest of them and hide.” Charles attempted to whisper to Alex, but you heard them.
“Hide?” You looked up at the group. “You’re all scared…” You slowly stood up from the floor. They all shook their heads. “You are! You don’t have to lie…”
“Alex go please!” Charles ushered him.
“Professor X, I don’t think you’re helping?” Julie hit him in the arm. “She’s scared!”
“Okay but- Luke?” Alex stopped himself as he saw Luke appear in front of them. “Luke, what the hell man, I thought you were still under anesthesia?” Alex took a step towards his best friend, but was stopped by Charles’s hand that extended out. Charles gulped nervously.
“Why are you stopping me?” Alex questioned.
“That’s not Luke…” Charles watched as you stared up at the illusion with fear.
“Not Luke, you sure cause I know what he looks like?” Alex gestured to the body and stood in the middle of the hallway.
“How can you tell it’s not him?” Reggie scratched his neck.
“This one isn’t hurt…” Carrie inspected as she watched this Luke cautiously. 
“If that’s not Luke, then who the hell is that?” Julie exclaimed.
“What me and Luke were trying to prevent from happening?”
“Wait I remember hearing you talking to Luke about how her own fear could hurt her…Is this it? This is her fear? Luke is what she fears?” Willie gestured to you crawling backwards away from the figure in front of you. 
“Why do you look so scared?” Fake Luke tilted his head. He smirked as tears fell from your eyes.
“I-I’m not scared.” Your voice shook. 
“You sure about that?”
“Please.” You whimpered.
“Please what? Please don’t hurt you.” Fake Luke stepped closer. “Don’t say what you don’t want me to say.” He laughed. “You’ll break, right? Four little words and your will to stay alive is gone.” 
“I-I won’t break…”
“You will because without me you’re nothing.” You closed your eyes as he got up in your face. “Look at you…pathetic.” He scoffed. “It’s no wonder I don’t love you.”
I don’t love you. I don’t love you. I don’t love you.
You cried as he began screaming the same four words.
“Stop it please, stop it please!” You covered your ears. He kept repeating it over and over like a mantra. Your heart hurt. You were in pain, not just from not being able to control your powers, but your fear was Luke not loving you anymore. “No no no, stop it. Go away, go away, go away….I said go away!” You screeched. A sudden energy blast flung itself forward causing everyone to stumble back. The force you released ended up throwing you back into the table in the hallway. The back of your head collided with the edge of the table. You were knocked unconscious. The illusion of Luke rejecting you disappeared, and so had every other fear roaming and chasing after your classmates.
“Y/n!” Everyone rushed forward to help aid you. Julie had gotten to you first. Catching a glimpse of blood spilling from behind your head.
“She’s bleeding!” Julie frowned with worry.
“Reggie, get her to Hank now!” Reggie carefully picked you up, Julie, Alex, Carrie, and Flynn placed their hands on his shoulders. Then they were gone.
The rest of the group, including Charles were left undefeated. Not knowing what to do. Charles was left feeling helpless. For once in his life he had no way of knowing what power you truly possessed.
-
“Hank!” Julie announced their presence upon teleporting down to the lab again. “We need help!” The group rushed you over to an empty surgical bed.
Hank placed his glasses on, he was taking a break just now. He had just finished stitching up Luke and took a breather. He bolted up from his chair after they startled him.
“Y-Yeah yeah I’m up.” He rushed over to where they put you down. Hank had begun examining you. “Where’s all these injured kids coming from?” He said. “What- are you guys playing mutant roulette or something?”
“Not the time Hank!” Carrie exclaimed.
“What happened to her?” Hank started examining your bleeding head.
“She’s making people’s nightmares come true, what else is there to say.” Carrie shrugged.
“I know she can make nightmares come true Carrie, what I want to know is why she’s bleeding out on my surgical table?” Hank sassed back at her.
“She hit her head…did you know she could blast energy from her hands?” Julie questioned. “Because I thought she could only create telepathic illusions.”
“I did not, but with Y/n everything is a mystery.” Hank furrowed his brows. His eyes taking in the frown etched onto your unconscious face. “Super energy blast huh?” Hank rubbed your arm. “What else you got up your sleeves, Y/L/N?” Hank asked rhetorically.
Suddenly a scream fell past Flynn’s mouth. The lab suddenly began filling up with water just like it happened in her room.
“N-No no no, not again.” Flynn climbed onto one of the cabinets.
“What the hell?” Julie exclaimed. She looked down at her shoes watching them become soaked. Carried grew worried as the water didn’t stop rising. She looked over at Luke who was still unconscious.
“That’s it, I’m waking him!” Carrie grunted. Her fingers released a zap of energy.
“No you could hurt him?” Julie put her hand out.
“He’s already hurt, we need him right now…unless you wanna let him drown in a couple of minutes?” Carrie raised her brow at Julie. When she got no reply, she stepped closer to Luke, she put her hand out and shot a zap of her power at him. In a few seconds, Luke’s eyes sprung open. He gasped loudly. He grunted as he held his stomach. Carrie helped him sit up.
“What the hell Carrie!” Luke groaned as he looked up at her.
“Welcome back my friend!” Hank slowly patted Luke’s back as he sat up slowly. Grunts of pain slipped past his lips. “Sorry for the interruption, but we have bigger problems.”
“What are you-” Luke’s eyes widened as he saw water reaching up to everyone’s knees now. His eyes found your figure lying unconscious. “Y-Y/n?” Luke finally got off the medal bed, and jumped into the water surrounding them. “S-Shit it’s cold!” He complained as he maneuvered his way over to you. “Y/n, hey.” His hand hovered over your injury. “Why is she bleeding, what the hell happened?”
“She lost control, Luke. She was scared because she found out about flooding Flynn’s room and-” Julie began.
“You guys told her about Flynn’s room?” Luke’s head shot up. “I thought we agreed not to tell her!” 
“Well, regardless if we told her or not, she’s still flooding the lab!” Carrie shot him a glare, gesturing to the water that now reached her hips.
Luke looked around watching the water increase. He looked back at you. “Y/n wake up, I’m right here okay! Wake up!” His face turned serious. His hand patting your cheek gently.
“I can wake her up in seconds!” Carrie focused her eyes on you. Her hand now higher by her face. Luke caught the zap of energy in the corner of his eyes.
“Don’t even think about it!” Luke directed a harsh pointed look at her. “If you haven’t noticed, we’re surrounded by water. One stupid zap from you and we’ll all be electrocuted. Think Carrie!” Luke warned her. “You and water shouldn’t exactly be mixing right now!”
“It woke you up.” She scoffed.
“Okay now is not the time to be arguing!” Julie butt in. “Flynn what do you think we should do…Flynn?” They all turned around and watched as Flynn curled into a ball rocking back and forth on the counters.
“Flynn isn’t exactly comprehensive right now…plan B?” Reggie suggested. 
“We don’t even have a plan A!” Alex frowned.
“Kiss her, Luke. You know, like in those fairytales.” Reggie nudged Luke.
“Reggie.” Luke looked at him.
“Yeah?”
“Shut up!”
“No maybe he’s onto something.” Julie protested. “Seriously?” Luke looked at her.
“Do you have another idea?” She shrugged.
Luke sighed and sloshed across the water now up to his stomach, which now reached you. Luke had to hold you up in his arms so that the water wouldn’t hit your face. “Come on baby, wake up for me. Just like before.” He chuckled nervously. “Come on, I know you’re in there. Just follow the sound of my voice, okay?” Luke shook you slightly.
“Luke!” Julie warned him as she climbed onto the cabinet with Flynn. Alex and Reggie, following her movements. As for Carrie she dove into the water for her phone.
“Carrie!” Alex screamed after her. Without a second thought he jumped into the water.
“Happy thoughts, happy thoughts. It’s just water, a deep pool of water. Nope. Get me out of here!” Flynn screeched as she, Julie, and Reggie now had to stand on the cabinets.
“Luke!” Reggie yelled out to him.
“I’m trying!” Luke looked back to you and then at the water that now reached your chests. He had to resort to holding you up. “Y/n!” He yelled for you as the water leveled at your necks. “Y/n!” He yelled again, which was when you gasped awake.
Your eyes widened. Luke treading the water with you in his arms. Water, that’s when you noticed that the lab was flooded. The fear in your eyes returned. Luke immediately caught on. “Hey, hey, you’re okay, we’re okay.” He groaned as he adjusted his hold on you. “No one’s hurt.” He reassured you.
“I-I did it again.” You closed your eyes, wanting to get out of his hold, but he wouldn’t let up on his grip. You looked over at Flynn, who looked relieved to see you conscious again. On your right, Alex and Carrie resurfaced and gasped for air.
“I got her!” Alex exasperated as his lungs begged for air.
“Let me go, you fool!” Carried swam away from Alex, who splatted the water in annoyance, then swam to the counter. They had startled you a bit. “Hey look at me.” You returned your attention to Luke. “It’s all in your head. Just in your head. The fear doesn’t take over…” He urged you to finish.
“I take over it.” You muttered softly out to him. Tears spilling down your eyes.
“Yeah you do.” Luke leaned forward kissing your temple gently. He pulled back to look in your eyes. “Think about what we’ve been working on. Fear isn’t the only thing you can create.” You nodded remembering the last time you and Luke and Charles practiced more on your powers. Charles had suggested that perhaps if people’s fears could be created, then there was the possibility you could conjure up their dreams and desires too. “Hey, Flynn! What do you wish for more than anything right now?” He called over his shoulder still staring at you with a smile. “How ‘bout being able to see the floor, please.” Luke raised his eyebrows, smirking at Flynn’s request.
“How about it angel?” Luke motioned with his head over at Flynn.
“I-I can…I can try.” You nodded nervously. The only time you made a desire come true was outside, when Luke asked for snow. You made it snow, but everyone had to wear sweaters and scarfs for the next few days. You closed your eyes and imagined the water disappearing and sinking into the ground. You took a deep breath and let your power do its work.
Luke beamed as the water began lowering. Everyone still in the water, now met the ground again. The flood was no more than a small ball of water floating in the air above you guys. 
“Yes!” Julie cheered for you, which took you out of your focus causing the ball to land on Carrie. Who was now soaked even more. You grimaced, apologizing, yet Carrie brushed it off not caring at that point. Just glad to be alive.
“W-Will work on it!” Luke nodded, he laughed nervously. You reciprocated the smile, then wrapped your arms around him. Luke flinching slightly made you pull away.
“Sorry, you okay?” You grew worried.
“Yeah, I’ll be okay.” His eyes crinkled at the corners. “Hey, where’s Hank?” Julie asked.
You all looked around the room and saw him lying on the floor unconscious. Your eyes widened as you saw him lay there motionless.
“Oh my god!” You gasped, making the move to rush over to him, until Carried stopped you and began walking over to him.
“I got him.” She reached out with her finger and zapped him. That brought him back instantly. “Welcome back...” She gave him a smile then walked away. “I’m gonna go shower, kay!” She called over her shoulder as she pushed her way out the lab. Then she was gone.
“At least no one’s dead.” Alex laughed, a small smile playing at his lips, as he tried to lighten the mood.
“Yeah... I’m confused though.” You furrowed your brows. 
“About what?” Luke questioned.
“Why didn’t you three think about teleporting us all out of here?” You looked at them curiously. Flynn, and Julie turned their heads ever so slowly to glare at them.
“Oh my god…” Flynn stared at them blankly.
“What?” Julie gritted her teeth. “You mean to tell me…we could have been out of here earlier?” The boys flinched as her voice rose a few octaves.
"They’re so dead.” Flynn nodded, pressing her hands together.
“M-Maybe.” Luke laughed nervously. Rubbing his neck. “Possibly… y-yes?” He squeaked. Hiding behind you, yet you pushed the stupid boy away from you. He felt offended by your shove. Julie slowly shortened the space between her and the guys.
“Run.” She warned them slowly.
“Alex and I were shot!” Luke reminded her, pointing at her as he and the guys continued backing away from her.
“You two get a 10 second head start then.” Julie told him.
“S-Seriously?” Luke’s eyes widened, he was getting scared. 
“Seriously…run!”
“Go, go, go, go, go!” Reggie nodded furiously ushering them out of the lab. You wholeheartedly judged the fact that they were running instead of teleporting.
You walked over to Flynn, who stood by the entrance. She somehow found a bag of chips and you stole one from her bag.
“How long do you think it’ll take them to realize they can teleport?” You asked, biting into the chip.
“Julie I’m sorry, okay!” You heard Reggie yelp. Then a thud. 
“After Julie gets to Luke.”
“Ahhhhh!” That was Alex this time, followed by another thud.
“Hmm.” You nodded. 
“These are so good!” You looked at Flynn nodding at the chips. 
“I know right!”
“No, Julie!” 
Yours and Flynn’s eyes widened, hearing a high pitched scream. “Was that Julie?”
“No that was Luke...” You reached for another chip. 
“I didn’t hear him fall?” Flynn looked down the hall.
*Thud, thud, thud*
“There it is/” Flynn smiled gesturing to the sound.
“W-What did I miss?” You both looked behind you to see Hank rubbing his head.
You both remained quiet, until Flynn offered her bag to him. “Cheeto?” She smiled.
“T-Thanks?” He slowly took one and bit into it slowly.
“Ahhh!” You and Flynn remained calm, whereas Hank was heavily startled.
“What was that?”
“Oh just the boys.” You said nonchalantly. 
“Get back here!” You heard Julie growl.
“Julie Molina, stop this instant!” You heard Charles yell after her. 
“S-Should we help them?” Hank suggested.
“They’re fine.” Flynn reassured him.
A thump and the sound of glass breaking followed. Flynn stopped herself then continued. “They’ll be fine.”
“Oh no…” You pouted. “What?”
“We’re out of cheetos.”
“I think I saw some more in the kitchen.” 
“Let’s go, then!”
“Are you coming Hank?” You called over at him.
“Y-Yeah.” He quickly closed the lab door and trailed behind you two.
You and Flynn smiled your way through the broken furniture and broken vases as you walked down the hallways. Hank looked bewildered as he examined the mess he walked past.
